Dear Lemon Lima is a 2009 family comedy feature film written and directed by Suzi Yoonessi.  Based on her short film of the same name and developed with the support of Film Independent and its Filmmaker Labs, this film is about a 13-year-old half-Yup’ik girl navigating her way through first heartbreak and the perils of prep school in Fairbanks, Alaska.  In learning the meanings of love, friendship, and community, Vanessa Lemor finds her voice by embracing her heritage and reclaiming the spirit of the World Eskimo Indian Olympics (WEIO) at a private school where her narcissistic sweetheart's family is legendary.

Plot
Vanessa Lemor, a lonely 13-year old Yup’ik girl with a vivid imagination, is dumped by her true love, über intellectual Philip Georgey, 14.  Vanessa spends the summer in Fairbanks, Alaska, working at an ice cream shack and obsessing over the heartbreaking tragedy.  After numerous unsuccessful attempts at erasing fond memories, she resolves to win Philip back at Nichols Academy (named after Yoonessi's alma mater, Nichols School), a close-minded preparatory school where the Georgey family is legendary.

Awarded the only minority scholarship, Vanessa's new life is a nightmare.  Back from the summer abroad and fluent in French, Philip is elevated to popular status, while Vanessa is relegated to the bottom of the prep school caste system with the rest of the FUBARs.  Rounding out the rest of the FUBARs are Hercules, a loveable, but socially inept boy with wildly overprotective parents, Samantha, a 14-year-old who claims her father is a rapper, and Nothing (formally known as Madeline), whose family owns a funeral parlor.  Vanessa's consolation prize is Philip's decision to honor Vanessa by being her student advisor.  Philip, wishing the best for his pupil, reinstates the values that once brought them together – the pursuit of individuality and embracement of a social consciousness: an alternative lifestyle for a better world.  Unfortunately, Vanessa misinterprets his preaching, and alienates herself by presenting an anarchist essay at the opening school ceremony.  To make matters worse, she is the only freshman captain selected for the school's infamous Snowstorm Survivor competition, an event inspired by the Native events in the World Eskimo Indian Olympics.

Vanessa believes that a victory in the Snowstorm Survivor championship is the only way into Philip's heart.  She quickly forms a quirky team with her fan base in the weight room.  Team FUBAR prepares for the event, driven by Vanessa's plight for her true love.  Unlike the Native Olympics that brings together people of all sizes and shapes to celebrate Native Alaskan culture, Nichols’ Snowstorm Survivor simply perverts the traditional Eskimo games in order to foster an antiquated class system.

After the tragic loss of a beloved teammate, Vanessa discovers the true meaning of love and must embrace her Native heritage to reclaim the spirit of the World Eskimo Indian Olympics.

Dear Lemon Lima premiered on June 20, 2009 at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was released theatrically on March 4, 2011.

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon is a progressive Episcopal congregation and the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon of The Episcopal Church. The cathedral is located at 147 NW 19th Avenue in Portland, Oregon, in the Northwest District.

The legal name of the cathedral corporation is Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Portland, Oregon. It was originally organized on March 18, 1873 as Trinity Episcopal Church, Portland, Oregon and was renamed as a cathedral on February 17, 1994, after the Episcopal Bishop of Oregon relocated the diocesan seat to the current location in the previous year. The Rt. Rev. Robert Louis Ladehoff, the Eighth Bishop of Oregon, consecrated the cathedral on November 19, 1993. Prior to 1993, the seat of the Diocese of Oregon was the then Cathedral of St. John the Baptist since 1973, which, in turn was relocated from the then St. Stephen's Cathedral.

The cathedral serves as the central parish of the Episcopal diocese whose jurisdiction includes the parts of Oregon west of the Cascade Mountains. Approximately 1800 active parishioners attend the cathedral's Eucharist services and participate in various activities. In addition, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral has operated since 2002 the Center for Spiritual Development under the direction of the Rev. Canon Marianne Wells Borg; the center was merged with the cathedral's adult education program on August 1, 2008.

The Dean of the cathedral is the Very Rev. Nathan LeRud, who is assisted by the Rev. Matthew Lawrence (Canon for Spiritual Development), the Rev. Linda Potter (Interim Canon Associate), as well as a number of non-stipendiary clergy, such as the Very Rev. Roy Coulter (former Dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Portland), the Very Rev. Hollingshead "Lin" Knight (former Dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, Honolulu, Hawaii), the Very Rev. John Bright, the Rev. Canon Jack Hilyard, the  Rev. Canon Joseph Dubay, the Rev. Canon Patrick Tompter, the Rev. John Scannel, the Rt. Rev. Robert Ladehoff, the Rev. Maureen Tighe, and the Rev. Deacon Valerie Ivey. The New Testament scholar and author Marcus Borg served as Canon Theologian.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, whose mother was a member, attends occasionally.

History

On May 18, 1851, the Rev. St. Michael Fackler and the Rev. William Richmond along with four parishioners organized Trinity Episcopal Church in the city of Portland, Oregon, and secured permission to hold services in the newly completed school house.  It was the first Episcopal congregation organized in the Oregon Territory.  Fackler and Richmond went on to organize parishes in Oregon City, Champoeg, Lafayette, and Milwaukie before the year was over.

In 1853 the congregation had grown to 25 parishioners, and called its first rector, the Rev. John D. McCarty.  Construction began on a permanent building, located at the corner of Southwest Second Avenue and Oak Street in Portland on land donated by parishioner Benjamin Stark, a prominent lawyer and citizen.  When this building, essentially a log cabin, was consecrated by the newly elected Missionary Bishop of the vast Missionary District of the Oregon and Washington Territories, the Right Rev. Thomas Fielding Scott, it was the first Episcopal church building north of San Francisco and west of St. Paul.

By 1871, Trinity had grown to over 200 members.  The congregation had purchased a half block at the corner of Southwest Sixth Avenue and Oak Street for $3,000.  In 1872 a new church building was built on this site that was thought to more accurately reflect the congregation's (and the City of Portland's) stature.  The Vestry voted that the Chancel window of this church was to be a memorial to Bishop Thomas F. Scott.  This window, which was saved when 1872 building burned, is now in the East wall of the present cathedral.  The congregation in this period included many prominent Portlanders, including Cicero Hunt Lewis, Sylvester Pennoyer, Rodney Glisan, and Matthew Deady.  In 1873, Trinity was involved in the founding of Good Samaritan Hospital.  In 1902, the church building at Sixth and Oak was heavily damaged by fire, and the congregation decided to relocate yet again, to the more fashionable NW 19th Avenue, where many wealthy parishioners lived.  This new building, in which the congregation still worships, was consecrated on October 14, 1906.  The stained glass windows, the work of the Charles J. Connick Studios of Boston, date from the late 1940s.

In the late 1970s the Episcopal Church was undergoing a period of liturgical renewal, with the adoption of a new Book of Common Prayer. Under the leadership of Trinity's rector, the Reverend William H. Wagner, Jr., the Cathedral was redesigned and renovated to better reflect a new understanding of worship. The altar was moved forward, closer to the congregation, and the chancel was redesigned to allow for more flexible seating. This redesign, completed in 1983, coincided with the building of a new organ, and Trinity hired young organ designer Manuel Rosales to begin construction on a new instrument. In 1987 the Rosales Organ, Opus 11, was completed and has since earned acclaim as one of the finest organs in the country.

Columbia River Knife & Tool, Inc. (CRKT) is an American knife company established in 1994, and currently based in Tualatin, Oregon, United States. The company's president and sales executive is Rod Bremer and the finance executive is Peggy Bremer.

History
CRKT was founded in 1994 by Paul Gillespi and Rod Bremer. Both individuals were formerly employed with Kershaw Knives. The company did not truly take off until the 1997 Shot Show when the K.I.S.S (Keep It Super Simple) knife was introduced. The small folder, designed by Ed Halligan, was a success. Within the opening days of the show the years worth of the product was sold out. They sold at 4-5 times original production numbers resulting in a tripling of production efforts.

On October 3, 2000, US Customs seized a shipment of 80,000 Chinese CRKT folding knives worth more than $4.3 million. All 50 models seized had always passed every Customs test in prior situations. The shipment had cleared Customs on September 29 but on October 3 an inspector decided that the knives acted like switchblades despite the fact that none of them fit within the definition set forth by the U.S. Switch Blade Knife Act of 1958. On October 17 a letter was co-signed by Oregon U.S. Congresswoman Darlene Hooley and Senator Gordon Smith that petitioned the head of Customs to aid CRKT. Because of their action there was a Federal inquiry of the US Customs actions that had to be answered within thirty days. On October 20 the company was once again allowed to move their product. However this was not before losing over $1 million in sales and spending over $30,000 on legal fees.

Products

The company produces a wide range of fixed blades and folding knives, multi-tools, sharpeners, and carrying systems.  CRKT has collaborated with custom knifemakers such as Ken Onion, Harold "Kit" Carson, Allen Elishewitz, Pat Crawford, Liong Mah, Steven James, Greg Lightfoot, Michael Walker, Ron Lake, Tom Veff, Steve Ryan, Flavio Ikoma, and the Graham Brothers.

Patents
CRKT owns fifteen patents and patents pending. These include the Outburst assist opening mechanism, Lock Back Safety (L.B.S.) mechanism, Veff-Serrated edges, and the Deadbolt Lock.

The Outburst is the company's proprietary mechanism for their assisted-opening knives. These knives are standard pivot joint liner lock or frame lock folding knife. Inside the knife there is a spring tab that catches the tang of the blade as it is manually opened. Once the blade reaches thirty degrees the spring takes over and quickly snaps the knife open.

The Lock Back Safety mechanism, also invented by Ron Lake, is similar in function to the LAWKS mechanism. It is a lockback folder with a switch that can prevent the locking bar from being depressed. Inside the handle there is a small rod with a flange near the butt of the handle. The other end is connected to a switch near the pivot end. When the switch is pulled back (away from the pivot) the lock functions as a regular lockback. When the switch is closed the flange on the rod slides under tip of the locking bar at the butt end. This prevents the depression of the bar and the blade from unlocking. When the knife is closed the system functions the same way to lock it closed or allow it to open.

Veff-Serrations were developed by Tom Veff, a sharpener and knife maker, and are exclusively licensed to CRKT for production. The Veff-Serrations differ from standard ones in that they are large and set at an angle of 60 degrees whereas most serrations are small and arranged 90 degrees from the cutting surface.

SeaPort Airlines was a US-based regional airline with its headquarters at Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon.

It operated scheduled service from its bases at Portland International Airport (PDX) (Pacific Northwest region) and Memphis International Airport (MEM) (Mid-South region). It also operated a Southwest region from San Diego International Airport (SAN) and Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), as well as international service to San Felipe International Airport (SFH), the airport's most recent commercial service, from 2013 to January 2016.

SeaPort Airlines used the callsign "Sasquatch" to communicate with air traffic controllers. The carrier played off this in early 2013 when it introduced "Roger, The SeaPort Airlines Sasquatch" as the airline's mascot.

As of November 2013, SeaPort Airlines received $13,879,930 in annual Federal subsidies for Essential Air Services that they provided to rural airports in the U.S.

On February 5, 2016, the airline announced it had filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy after being forced to reduce its route network. Normal day-to-day operations were set to continue during the company reorganization. The company filed a plan to emerge from Chapter 11 on July 12, 2016. However, on September 20, 2016, the company went out of business after its Chapter 11 bankruptcy was converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation.

Fleet

Seaport Airlines operated the Pilatus PC-12 and the Cessna 208 Caravan.

Regional operations
SeaPort Airlines operated scheduled commuter service in two distinct geographical areas connecting rural communities to the national transportation network: the Pacific Northwest with destinations in Portland and Eastern Oregon Regional Airport in Pendleton, Oregon and the Mid-South including South Arkansas Regional Airport at Goodwin Field in El Dorado, Boone County Airport in Harrison, and Memorial Field Airport in Hot Springs, Arkansas as well as George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, Texas.

Until January 2016 the airline also had a Southwest region with destinations in California and Mexico.

Pacific Northwest service
SeaPort's Pacific Northwest Service at its Portland International Airport (PDX) hub was historically targeted at commuters between Seattle and Portland wishing to avoid congestion at the larger Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and the main commercial terminal at Portland International Airport. In late 2011, SeaPort began to reinvent its business model and the carrier ended its namesake route between Seattle (Boeing Field) and Portland on January 27, 2012.

As part of this business shift, on January 15, 2012, SeaPort Airlines began nonstop flights between Portland International Airport and North Bend/Coos Bay utilizing Cessna 208 Caravan single turboprop engine aircraft.

On October 21, 2008, SeaPort Airlines was awarded a two-year government grant to provide commercial service from Portland to Eastern Oregon Regional Airport in Pendleton beginning December 1, 2008, replacing subsidized service by Horizon Air.

On March 20, 2016, SeaPort Airlines ceased service to North Bend/Coos Bay, and PenAir began service on March 21.

Mid-South service
All of SeaPort's Mid-South service based at Memphis International Airport was federally subsidized under the Essential Air Service.

On March 12, 2010, SeaPort won a two-year Essential Air Service (EAS) contract to provide three daily flights Sunday through Friday between Salina, Kansas and Kansas City International Airport and between Hot Springs, Arkansas and Memphis International Airport. As part of this growth SeaPort secured Department of Transportation approval to add daily flights between Kansas City International Airport and Harrison, Arkansas.  In July 2011, SeaPort began service to Dallas Love Field from El Dorado and Hot Springs.

In February 2013, SeaPort Airlines announced that its EAS contract for service to McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport in Jackson, Tennessee, had been extended by the U.S. Department of Transportation through January 31, 2014. The carrier had been awarded a one-year (rather than the typical two-year) contract due to the low number of passengers that used the flights operated by the previous carrier providing EAS, which had put Jackson’s continued eligibility for subsidized air service at risk.

Following the 2014 phaseout of the Wright Amendment and the opening of a new terminal at Dallas Love Field, SeaPort had to share a single gate with Virgin America and lost its access to a permanent ticket counter; the resulting inconvenience and flight delays prompted SeaPort to transfer the Texas–Arkansas flights from Love Field to George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston in September 2015.

On January 16, 2016, SeaPort ceased service to Salina, Great Bend, and Kansas City, citing a nationwide shortage of regional airline pilots.

Southwest service
On May 1, 2013, the airline began service connecting Imperial/El Centro to San Diego and Burbank. The EAS contract was awarded to SeaPort in January 2013, replacing the incumbent carrier SkyWest Airlines, which linked Imperial to Los Angeles.

In July 2014, SeaPort Airlines announced it would begin nonstop service between Burbank and San Diego on October 1, with four weekday flights each way, and reduced service on weekends.

Later the airline added service to Sacramento and Visalia as well as its first international destination, San Felipe in Mexico.

SeaPort ceased all operations in California and Mexico on January 15, 2016.

The Modoc Northern Railroad  is a defunct railroad company that operated over  of track in northeastern California and southern Oregon and was based in Tulelake, California. The railroad connected Klamath Falls to Alturas, California, and Lakeview, Oregon, to Alturas, California. The railroad shipped mostly timber products and some perlite from the mine and mill near Lakeview.

The rails used by the Modoc Northern were first laid out in June 1927 by a non-operating subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company with the same name. On November 1, 2005, Union Pacific Railroad leased the Modoc line, connecting Klamath Falls to Alturas, to the MNRR for five years. By request of the Lake County, Oregon, commissioners, the MNRR also took over operation of the Lake County Railway, connecting Alturas to Lakeview, in 2006. UP cancelled the lease on May 5, 2009, and a new operator has assumed control of the Lake County Railroad.

The CS/LS6, formerly CS/LS06 or CF-05, also known as the Changfeng submachine gun (), is a submachine gun developed by Chongqing ChangFeng Co. Ltd in the early 1990s in response to China's demand for a new submachine gun design.

It was developed by the same team who designed the QSZ-92 pistol, which is now the primary pistol used by PLA and PAP. Originally designed for 5.8×21mm cartridge, after being rejected by the PLA it was offered for export chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum.

Development
The CF-05 was designed by Qing Shangsheng, a senior designer of Chongqing ChangFeng Corporation, who also designed the QSZ-92 pistol. According to the designer, the CF-05 was his private project initiated between 1993 and 1994, and was not brought to the attention of his factory manager until 1996. Early prototypes were built to compete in People's Liberation Army's 5.8mm suppressed submachine gun project. The first prototypes had a secondary feed option, with a pistol magazine inserted into the pistol grip in addition to the distinctive helical magazine inserted at the feed-port located at the rear of the weapon, which makes the magazine works like a dual-purpose gunstock. Once the primary magazine had been exhausted, the shooter could switch to the secondary magazine to sustain firing. The rear-feed design was changed during the testing due to the inconvenience in ergonomics, also the firearms expert felt the feed-hole at the gun rear aesthetically unpleasing. Eventually, Changfeng's bid lost to Jianshe corporation's QCW-05 proposal in 2001.

After losing to QCW-05, Changfeng decided export sales were to be a priority, and they needed to make a 9mm version, later named QC-9. Development team made several other improvement to improve the designs ergonomics and reliability. The second prototype moved the helical cylinder to the top, and it features a new telescoping stock. The third prototype made improvement to the stock. Upon testing, the secondary feed option was abandoned due to the possibility of introducing malfunctions caused by human error during field operations. In March 2004, the final prototype, which dropped the secondary feed function, went through a review before the design was finalized in May 2005. The finalized prototype received internal designation CF-05. Export effort was made in 2006, which gives the production designation CS/LS06, the current name marketed by Norinco.

Design
The CF05 submachine gun is a blowback-operated weapon chambered for the 9 × 19 mm cartridge. It fires from a closed bolt of a telescoped design, which wraps around the barrel. The weapon feeds ammunition from a 50-round helical magazine located at the top of the polymer receiver. It is fitted with a collapsible stock and the barrel is threaded to accept a suppressor. Other accessories may include laser pointer, tactical flashlight, and daylight optics.

The latest model of the CS/LS06 features modified polymer furniture, a front pistol grip with a different grip angle, a modified trigger guard, a different stock design, and pictographic selector markings. Although it is externally similar to Calico M950, the feed system features a entirely new design due to CS/LS06's rear-feed design lineage. The cylinder magazine contains a helical glide grooves at its inner walls. When the glide rotate by the central axis, the cartridges follows the helical track inside the cylinder.

La Garita is a town in the Mexican state of Jalisco in the Municipality of Tamazula de Gordiano.  According to INEGI 2010 national census it pegged the town's population at 1,060 people.  A special census done by the INEGI government agency estimated the population to be at 1,278 in 2005.  Although this number seems low, about 1,000 people from La Garita now reside in the United States with the most living in California, Illinois, Texas, Florida, and New York. The city of Joliet, Illinois now is the destination for most of the emigrants from this town. Others have migrated to nearby cities like Tamazula de Gordiano, Ciudad Guzman, and Guadalajara.

History
La Garita was called the property or Hacienda of San Lázaro when it was settled by rich businessmen.  San Lázaro or Saint Lazarus was the patron of the settlement.  The hacienda was founded around 1846 (it is the date that is reference by the eldest citizens).  During those times merchants that journeyed from the state of Michoacán to their destination, the state of Colima, stopped to rest in this area and to promote commerce in the region.  Transportation during those times for merchandise was difficult and long for they only used animals to carry the loads.  The merchants took this place as a refuge to rest and later continue their trip.  It is one of the reasons why they called it "La Garita":  "garita" comes from the old French "garita", which means refuge, of Germanic origin.  People from different places settled in this place, including foreigners who constructed properties in the region, among them the one of La Garita that in that time, the landowners were those who had in their power the land and control of the region.

In the time of president 'Lazaro Cardenas' the federal government transformed the region into "ejidal" form or communal land, granting to the farmers the land that had belonged to the landowners for farming and settling.  In 1940 the construction of the state highway Jiquilpan-Manzanillo 110 started, which crosses through the middle of the town of La Garita and connects with the town of Mazamitla and the city of Tamazula de Gordiano in the state of Jalisco. The highest ended the relative isolation of NB the town.  The name was changed from "Hacienda de San Lázaro" to "La Garita de San Lázaro."  Over the years the people dropped the patron's name and left only the name "La Garita." In 1946, to La Garita, a "Delegación" was granted to the town having its own civil registry and a police group.

Special Census of 2010 ("" "")

Geography
La Garita rests on the bank of the Tamazula river which is formed in La Garita from the union of the Creek of La Cuesta and the Sierra del Tigre river.  The town varies in elevation due to the steepness of the hills and mountains of the area around the river bank.  Part or almost half of the town sits on the valley created by the river over thousands of years ago while the other sits on the hills that make up the area of South-central Jalisco.

This part of the state of Jalisco sits on the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra del Tigre, two major forest regions of Mexico.  Its proximity to the high northern mountains of the state, Lake Chapala (the largest lake in Mexico), El Volcán de Colima (a major and still active volcano is south-central Mexico) and the ocean make for a unique geography.

Neighborhoods
The town of La Garita is divided into two sections by the national Mexican highway 110 creating the upper and lower neighborhoods.  As the names say, the upper neighborhood is on a higher level on a hill that leads to the town of El Manchado.  The lower neighborhood is actually in the valley below the highway created by the river, El Rio Tamazula.  In the center of the town a plaza was built in honor of the town's residents who donated time and money for a centralized location for town gatherings and celebrations.  After the creation of the town plaza, a new central neighborhood was created known as the heart of the town with most restaurants and shops located around the plaza.

Although the residents know the town as having three neighborhoods (upper, central, and lower), the town is actually divided into smaller sections of those neighborhoods called "barrios."  The barrios were created by the church of the town that needed the division to allow the different barrios to host the symbol of the "feria,"  the virgin of the Tabernacle or "Virgen de Sagrario."  All of the different neighborhoods or barrios are named after a religious Catholic symbol or saint.

Here is a list of the different barrios created by the church:
 Barrio de San Judas Tadeo
 Barrio de la Virgen de Guadalupe
 Barrio de Santa Maria Goretti
 Barrio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús
 Barrio de Juan Pablo II
 Barrio de San Rodrigo Aguilar
 Barrio de la Sagrada Familia
 Barrio de San Antonio
 Barrio de la Virgen del Sagrario
 Barrio de San Jose

Climate
The climate of La Garita, Jalisco is normally warm throughout the year. When summer begins is usually when the wet rainy season begins in the region, meaning that rainy days are more frequent than sunny days. The environment and its people have grown accustomed to a dry year with a very wet early summer.  The rains are very beneficial to the sugarcane crops which make up most of the crops of the region. Most of the rains are caused by the influx of moisture from the Pacific Ocean in the form of low pressures, tropical storms, or at times hurricanes.

During the remainder of the year, a sunny, warm and very pleasant tropical climate makes up for the rest of summer and autumn.  During the winter and spring is when the dry season begins, when rainy days are very limited.

Transportation
Transportation for the town has always been a problem for the residents and visitors.  There is no central hub for all travel, but since the major national highway 110 was constructed, which crosses through the center of the town, bus transportation between the state's major cities travel through the town of La Garita and stop here.  The center of town has an area by the national highway where most taxis and buses stop.  National buses also make a stop in town, but more towards the northeastern end part of the town near the town of La Verdura and closer to the eastern stream than the center of town on the side of the road.  There is no train station or central transportation hub, but most visitors travel by means of their own car, bus, or taxi from nearby cities such as Tamazula and Mazamitla which do have a central hub for buses.

The nearby city of Tamazula de Gordiano recently finished construction (March 2012 H. Ayuntamiento 2010-2012) of a new central transportation hub for local, regional, and national buses at its main entryway, the Jose Maria Martinez Boulevard, which also finished its expansion to 3 and four lanes.

The nearest airports are Miguel Hidalgo International Airport (GDL) in Guadalajara, Jalisco (almost three hours away) and national airport of Colima in the City of Colima in the Mexican state of the same name, Colima, about two and a half hours away.  Both of these airports offer bus service to the cities of Tamazula and Mazamitla, which may make a stop in the town of La Garita, if needed.  The Miguel Hidalgo International Airport in Guadalajara is the airport of choice for the town's residents and visitors offering daily international flights to most major cities where most of the residents have family.

Economy
La Garita counts with a rich and varied economy similar to other tourism regions of Mexico.  Most of the income generated by its citizens comes from the fields they own in the delegation of which it is one of the biggest sugarcane producers in the municipality.  Sugarcane of varied types is grown and harvested to be taken to "Ingenio Tamazula, S.A. de C.V." in the nearby city of Tamazula de Gordiano where it is converted into sugar.  The waste products of the sugar process produce molasses and pure cane alcohol, which are also sold in the region. Even though sugarcane is the main income for the town, La Garita counts with a diverse and rich culture, entertainment, businesses, small shops, restaurants, pharmacies, and even a waterpark, which give a special/different touch to the town from the rest of the region.

The farmland is also used for corn, cattle, and swine.  The hills surrounding the town create the perfect climate and irrigation for growing corn, alfalfa, and pasture.  Farmers in the area that make a living from animals have:  cows, pigs, chickens, goats, and sheep just to name a few.  Although having livestock is not the most popular way to earn a living in La Garita, some prefer it instead of agriculture.

The rest of the citizens earn their income from the tourism generated from people that visit the town during its religious festivities, the nearby recently built river dam "El Carrizo," and the popular spa/sauna/waterpark of natural thermal waters "Las Jaras."  Those citizens that don't work, and some that do, survive from the money that they receive from family members that now reside in the United States.  Most of the town's migrate workers and residents now of the United States reside in the Chicago region and southern California region.

Tourism

The town is divided by the national highway Mexico 110 that runs from the city of Jiquilpan to the coastal port of Manzanillo.  The corridor that parallels the highway that runs from the city of Tamazula de Gordiano to the mountain-city of Mazamitla make up the tourist region of the "Sierra del Tigre" or sierra of the tiger which focuses on eco-tourism, a form of tourism promoting nature.  The town of La Garita just happens to be located in the middle of the corridor between both cities, and it is the start of the road that leads to the new river dam "El Carrizo" that has been converted into a tourist attraction for diving, boating, fishing, and more.

Cuisine
The town of La Garita is known for its Mexican cuisine:

 Birria de Chivo - marinated goat stew
 Sopitos - similar to a taco, a small corn tortilla fried in oil or lard, with mince meat, sauce, and cabbage
 Tostadas de Lomo - a large (dinner plate size) fried tortilla topped with mayonnaise or refried beans with fried pork loin, cabbage or lettuce, tomatoes, onions, grated cheese, and sauce

 Carnitas - Fried pork that comes in many forms from stomach, intestines, maw, rinds or cracklings, and many other parts.

Those are some of its more popular foods, but when it comes to drinks:

 Freshed squeezed juices every morning (Carrots, beets, oranges, apples, celery).
 Chocolate milk with "rompope" (alcoholic eggnog), quail eggs, protein powder, cinnamon, and many more.
 Atole - made with flour, brown sugar (comes in sugar cones), milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
 Tequila - of course it is the most popular Mexican alcoholic drink and it is very popular in La Garita.

Landmarks
 La Parroquia de La Garita is a municipal landmark since its construction and named one of the most unusual churches in the state of Jalisco with its new modern Clock Tower.
 The Formal Hacienda of San Lázaro - Current home of the Gutierrez family is a landmark and one of the few remains of the Hacienda that founded the town of La Garita.

Education

There are three public schools in La Garita ranging from Kindergarten to grade 9.  All three schools are in the upper half of the town, built there in order to be safe from the frequent floods by the neighboring stream and river that used to flood the lower half of the town often in years past.

For Kindergarten a small Jardin de Niños is available for children starting at age 5 with some of the best Kindergarten teachers from the region.

As far as elementary education, an older school which educated the majority of the town citizens named Revolución was recently torn down to be replaced by a well needed three story building with modern amenities and computer labs.  Unfortunately, the construction process of the building was not inspected properly resulting with the front entrance on the building towards the back, and vice versa.  The elementary school hosts grades 1st through 6th (in Mexico elementary does not end on 5th grade as it is in the U.S., but 6th grade).

A Jr. High is also available in town, although farther from the heart of the town, it hosts grades 7th-9th.  In Mexico this is known as the secundaria or secondary education school.

Health care

La Garita currently has a clinic by the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS), a social security clinic funded by the workers of the region, especially the farmers of the sugarcane fields in the area.  This is not an open clinic, only those people who qualify for the social security either by their work or a family member who works and pays for their social security is able to get medical aid, medicines, and care.

Religion

Religion is a big part of the culture and habits of the citizens of La Garita.  There is only one church in the town, La Parroquia de La Garita.  The town celebrates all saints and the virgin of Guadalupe as most of Mexico, but every town has a special celebration or fair, "la feria", to the town's Patron, San Lázaro.  Up to recently, the celebration for the patron was revived as it was forgotten with time and the popularity of the virgin to the municipality of Tamazula, la Virgen del Sagrario.

Each of the fairs have a specific number of days for the celebration with different things done in honor of the patron or virgin on each day plus entertainment.  The popularity of each brings tourists and visitors to the town increasing the entertainment value from concerts with the best bands, mariachi bands, and pop stars that Mexico has to offer.  The celebration of the "Virgen del Sagrario" is done from 20 November to 30 November each year.  For the town's patron, "San Lázaro", it begins on 17 to 22 December each year.

About 89% of the citizens of La Garita consider themselves Catholics, while there are 11% which either do not associate with a specific religion or are other Christians.  The number of Christians is growing each year and sits at about 5% that is composed of Baptist, Pentecostal,  and Jehovah's witness.

Sports
Soccer is the main sport in the town with its popular team La Garita on the Municipal League, fast becoming a great contender on the league with a Juveniles and Intermedias versus teams.

The rodeo and bull riding is also a popular sport in the town although it is mostly seen during the religious festivities such as the Feria de la Virgen de Sagrario.

Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Roch's Church () is a Catholic church in the Sava neighborhood of the town of Jesenice, in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Originally dedicated only to the Assumption of the Virgin, the church was built by the ironworks owners Julius and Orfeus Bucelleni. It is the first example of Jesuit architecture in Slovenia. The nave, with a plaque dated 1606, still preserves its original features. The choir was expanded and raised in the late 17th century. Three altar pieces painted by the Venetian artist Nicola Grassi from the church (The Assumption of the Virgin, Mary of the Rosary with Saint Dominic and Saint Francis, Saint Anthony of the Desert with an unknown early Christian martyr) were all restored in 1961 and again in 1992. There are several other oil paintings in the church.

Brite Futures (formerly known as Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, often shortened to NPSH) was an American indie rock/electronica band from Seattle, Washington. The group released its debut album in July 2008 and disbanded in 2012. Their former name is a reference to actress Natalie Portman's physical appearance in the film V for Vendetta.

History

Formation
The band was formed by Luke Smith and Shaun Libman, who met while attending The Center School, an arts-based college preparatory school in Seattle. Their early work was centered around keyboards and drum machines, the only instruments that the pair knew how to play at the time. Their decision to start Natalie Portman's Shaved Head was made in the food court of the Center House, in 2005. The name of the band is a reference to Natalie Portman's physical appearance in the film V for Vendetta. Smith and Libman's first written songs for Natalie Portman's Shaved Head were about "fruit snacks and partying". The band claimed one of the reasons they formed the band was to get girlfriends.

The group expanded to a four piece before playing their first major gig, at the grand opening of the 826 Seattle writing center and Greenwood Space Travel Supply Company. They invited their friends David Price and Claire England to the band, and later recruited Liam Downey, Jr. from another band that they found on MySpace. Smith typically writes the band's music, and then writes lyrics with Libman afterwards.
The band would place Natalie Portman on the guest list of all of their shows, but the actress has not yet attended any performances. Portman was, however, aware of the band's name and existence. England's sister, a New York City resident, met the actress once, and relayed to her the history and story of the band. Signing an autograph for them, she said in response to the story, "Oh, that's cool."

Glistening Pleasure, 2008–2011
Natalie Portman's Shaved Head's debut album, Glistening Pleasure, was released by Team Swam Records on July 15, 2008. The release party for the album was held at Easy Street Records in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, where Liam Downey, Jr.'s good friend Benjamin Bucy was mugged for a copy of the album. The group have toured internationally with CSS, Matt & Kim, and The Go! Team and supported Lily Allen on her North American tour of her second album. Natalie Portman's Shaved Head had then begun work on their next album.

Keely Weiss of Aced Magazine described their music on Glistening Pleasure as reminiscent of Devo and an "unstoppable electronica/techno/funk/punk fusion". Their music has been described by Amy Atkins as evoking the sounds of 1980s music, and as "addictive dancey electro-pop". Michael Roberts of Westword called their sound "knowingly dorky party music" with "so many winks the average optometrist may suspect a serious vision issue." According to Smith, "We try to pack in as many melodies as possible and change it up a lot, as opposed to a straight repetitive style."

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head signed to Warner Bros. Records in late 2009 and digitally released their EP Meet Hot Singles with newer, improved versions of some songs off of Glistening Pleasure. Since the album was taken off the market, it was said that they would release it sometime early 2010.

On June 17, 2010, the band announced that their band name would now be Brite Futures, and posted their new single "Dog Eared Summer" on their website for free download.
As for the name change, they have stated the following:

"We chose our band name on a whim when we were still in high school, and 'Natalie Portman's Shaved Head' has seen us through an unexpectedly amazing four years...But now it is summer once again, and time for a change. Also, it has recently come to our attention that our muse Ms. Portman is not so keen on us using her name in ours...so we feel it is time to move forward with a new name. We are Brite Futures."

After much anticipation, Brite Futures' Glistening Pleasure was rereleased as Glistening Pleasure 2.0 (referring to Justin Bieber's My World 2.0) on July 15, 2010, a two-year gap between their release dates. Three of the tracks on Glistening Pleasure (being "Beard Lust", "Mouth Full of Bones", and "The Malibu Highlife") did not make it to the 2.0 version. However, "Dog Eared Summer" and a brand new song called "My Funk" were introduced.

On September 13, 2010, Downey, Jr. announced that he amicably split from Brite Futures. The band stated that he "feels really good to be doing it on his own again, on a more intimate level with his music and himself." Downey, Jr.'s statement revealed his departure was based on "private and personal reasons, and the physical damage I have done to myself over the years while playing the music that I love." He also announced that he will be returning to his birth name. Downey, Jr. currently plays drums for local Seattle bands Total Shit and So Pitted, on top of being lead vocalist/drummer in his lifelong band the Fabulous Downey Brothers. Conor Sisk, formerly of the Port Townsend/Seattle-based band New Faces, went on to replace Downey, Jr. in the fall of 2011.

Dark Past, 2011–2012 (Disbanding)
With the new lineup, the band went on to release their third studio album, Dark Past, on November 1, 2011. It was produced by Smith and mixed by Eliot James (who has worked with the likes of Two Door Cinema Club and Kaiser Chiefs) and was distributed by Atlantic Recording Corporation for the United States and Canada. The album had two singles, "Too Young To Kill" and "Test of Time (ft. Pearl Dragon)", both of which had music videos released through VEVO within the following year. The fifth track, "Best Party Ever (So Far)" was included in the trailer for the movie Fun Size, starring Victoria Justice, in fall of 2012.

On May 15, 2012, Brite Futures announced through their blog that they were breaking up and would no longer be recording new music, citing the band's slowing momentum and other individual aspirations. They played a final show at The Vera Project in Seattle on June 16, 2012. Downey, Jr. was present and went onstage to play drums for "Hush Hush". Shortly after the show, the band's main website became defunct.

Later that year, the band announced via Facebook that they would soon make a number of unreleased material available. October 30, 2012 marked the digital-only release of When the Lights Go Out, a collection of Demos, B-Sides, and live tracks recorded over the life of Natalie Portman's Shaved Head and Brite Futures.

Susan Wittenberg Liebeler (born July 3, 1942) is an American lawyer and businesswoman, a former official in the administration of President Ronald Reagan, and a former federal judicial nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Early life and education

Born Susan Levine in New Castle, Pennsylvania, Liebeler graduated from New Castle High School in New Castle in 1960.  She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 1963 and a law degree from University of California, Los Angeles School of Law in 1966.  She served as senior editor of the UCLA Law Review, and was named to the Order of the Coif.

Professional career

Liebeler worked for two different law firms in Los Angeles from 1967 until 1970.  She joined Republic Corp. in 1970 as a practicing attorney, leaving Republic in 1971.  From 1972 until 1973, Liebeler was general counsel for Verit Industries.  From 1973 until 1985, Liebeler was a professor of law at Loyola University in Los Angeles.

In 1984, Liebeler was designated by President Ronald Reagan as a commissioner at the United States International Trade Commission.  In 1986, Reagan named Liebeler as the commission's chairman serving from 1986 to 1988.

From 1988 until 1994, Liebeler was a partner with the Los Angeles law firm Irell & Manella and also worked at LRN leaving in 1994.

Since 1995, Liebeler has been president of Lexpert Research Services, a company that she founded.

Failed nomination to the Federal Circuit

On March 23, 1987, Reagan nominated Liebeler to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Shiro Kashiwa.  Democrats in the Senate opposed Liebeler's nomination because of some decisions she had made while at the International Trade Commission and because of issues related to her temperament.

On February 23, 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee narrowly voted 7-6 not to report Liebeler's nomination favorably out of committee.  However, the committee also voted 8-5 to report on her nomination without a recommendation.  No vote ever was scheduled on her nomination, however, and her nomination was returned to Reagan on October 22, 1988.  President George H. W. Bush declined to renominate Liebeler upon winning the presidency.

President George H.W. Bush eventually appointed S. Jay Plager to fill the seat to which Liebeler had been nominated.

Personal

Liebeler's husband, retired UCLA law professor and onetime counsel to the Warren Commission Wesley Liebeler (also known as Jim Liebeler), was killed in a plane crash in Lake Winnipesaukee in Gilford, New Hampshire on September 25, 2002.  Liebeler currently lives in Malibu, California.

Jill Perryman  (born 30 May 1933) is an Australian multi-award winning former stage and screen actress and singer. Perryman is from a family of show business performers; her sister was Diana Perryman and her son is media personality, radio and TV presenter and musician Tod Johnston.

Perryman, although a staple of theatre, appeared briefly in film; for her debut film role in Maybe this Time in 1980, she was awarded the AACTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (known then as the AFI Awards) and has also appeared as a guest in numerous TV series.

She has been honoured with both the MBE (1979) and Member of the Order of Australia (1992), both with the citation "For service to the Performing Arts".

Career
Perryman became a staple of Australian showbusiness, having performed on stage from the age of three in a production of the famed Austrian operetta The White Horse Inn.

Perryman in 1952, then aged 19, joined the company of J. C. Williamson Theatres Ltd as a member of the chorus and in the following year was understudying leading roles in stage musicals, under Evie Hayes in a local production of Call Me Madam.

Perryman was strong in voice and personality, and a long series of understudy and small roles eventually led her, through the recommendation of John McCallum (who was then joint managing director of J. C. Williamson Theatres), to take the lead in the key Australian production of Funny Girl, a performance that won her an Erik Award for Best Actress and led to major roles in other productions. These included I Do! I Do! in 1969, and The Two of Us in 1971. No, No, Nanette in 1972 won her another Erik Award for Best Actress for her role as Lucille Early, then in 1973 she starred in A Little Night Music. In 1976 she played Gladys Zilch in Leading Lady, a musical production created especially for her. She also toured during 1977 in Side by Side by Sondheim. She played Miss Hannigan in Annie in 1978.

Perryman won the A.F.I. (Australian Film Institute) Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 1980.

She toured in the musicals Chicago in 1988 and The Boy From Oz in 1998.

Personal life
Perryman was born in May 1933 in Melbourne, Victoria, into a family of performers. Her father was Melbourne-born actor William Harland-Perryman and her mother was Adelaide-born actress and singer Dorothy Eileen Duval; they had married in 1923.

Perryman is married to choreographer Kevin Johnston, and they have a son and daughter. Their son Tod Johnston is an actor, musician and media personality, and their daughter is actress Trudy Dunn. Trudy's daughter McKenzie Dunn is also an actress.

The Bohr–Van Leeuwen theorem states that when statistical mechanics and classical mechanics are applied consistently, the thermal average of the magnetization is always zero. This makes magnetism in solids solely a quantum mechanical effect and means that classical physics cannot account for paramagnetism, diamagnetism and ferromagnetism. Inability of classical physics to explain triboelectricity also stems from the Bohr–Van Leeuwen theorem.

History
What is today known as the Bohr–Van Leeuwen theorem was discovered by Niels Bohr in 1911 in his doctoral dissertation and was later rediscovered by Hendrika Johanna van Leeuwen in her doctoral thesis in 1919.  In 1932, J. H. Van Vleck formalized and expanded upon Bohr's initial theorem in a book he wrote on electric and magnetic susceptibilities.

The significance of this discovery is that classical physics does not allow for such things as paramagnetism, diamagnetism and ferromagnetism and thus quantum physics are needed to explain the magnetic events. This result, "perhaps the most deflationary publication of all time," may have contributed to Bohr's development of a quasi-classical theory of the hydrogen atom in 1913.

Proof

An intuitive proof
The Bohr–Van Leeuwen theorem applies to an isolated system that cannot rotate. If the isolated system is allowed to rotate in response to an externally applied magnetic field, then this theorem does not apply. If, in addition, there is only one state of thermal equilibrium in a given temperature and field, and the system is allowed time to return to equilibrium after a field is applied, then there will be no magnetization.

The probability that the system will be in a given state of motion is predicted by Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics to be proportional to , where  is the energy of the system,  is the Boltzmann constant, and  is the absolute temperature. This energy is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy ( for a particle with mass  and speed ) and the potential energy.

The magnetic field does not contribute to the potential energy. The Lorentz force on a particle with charge  and velocity  is

where  is the electric field and  is the magnetic flux density. The rate of work done is  and does not depend on . Therefore, the energy does not depend on the magnetic field, so the distribution of motions does not depend on the magnetic field.

In zero field, there will be no net motion of charged particles because the system is not able to rotate. There will therefore be an average magnetic moment of zero. Since the distribution of motions does not depend on the magnetic field, the moment in thermal equilibrium remains zero in any magnetic field.

A more formal proof

So as to lower the complexity of the proof, a system with  electrons will be used.

This is appropriate, since most of the magnetism in a solid is carried by electrons, and the proof is easily generalized to more than one type of charged particle.

Each electron has a negative charge  and mass .

If its position is  and velocity is , it produces a current  and a magnetic moment

The above equation shows that the magnetic moment is a linear function of the velocity coordinates, so the total magnetic moment in a given direction must be a linear function of the form

where the dot represents a time derivative and  are vector coefficients depending on the position coordinates .

Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics gives the probability that the nth particle has momentum  and coordinate  as

where  is the Hamiltonian, the total energy of the system.

The thermal average of any function  of these generalized coordinates is then

In the presence of a magnetic field,

where  is the magnetic vector potential and  is the electric scalar potential.
For each particle the components of the momentum  and position  are related by the equations of Hamiltonian mechanics:

Therefore,

so the moment  is a linear function of the momenta .

The thermally averaged moment,

is the sum of terms proportional to integrals of the form

where  represents one of the momentum coordinates.

The integrand is an odd function of , so it vanishes.

Therefore, .

Applications
The Bohr–Van Leeuwen theorem is useful in several applications including plasma physics: "All these references base their discussion of the Bohr–Van Leeuwen theorem on Niels Bohr's physical model, in which perfectly reflecting walls are necessary to provide the currents that cancel the net contribution from the interior of an element of plasma, and result in zero net diamagnetism for the plasma element."

Diamagnetism of a purely classical nature occurs in plasmas but is a consequence of thermal disequilibrium, such as a gradient in plasma density. Electromechanics and electrical engineering also see practical benefit from the Bohr–Van Leeuwen theorem.

Nike Flywire is a thread, composed of vectran or nylon, developed by Nike to minimize weight and maximize support, and used in the upper part of a sneaker. Shoes containing Flywire became available for consumer purchase in 2008.

Development
Flywire was created by Jay Meschter, Director of Innovation at Nike. He began by taking a foot last and marking the key points of where a shoe needs to support the foot. When Meschter saw an embroidery machine, he determined the machine could be used to make long stitches. Long stitches allow lightweight fibers to support the foot in key points, instead of using layers of material that support the whole foot.

Nike designed Flywire with inspiration from a suspension bridge, where many cables provide support. This allows support to be placed where necessary, especially in the forefoot (metatarsus and toes) and heel. The cables are designed to wrap around the foot like tendons.

Vectran

Nike adapts Vectran fibers, which are produced by Kuraray, into embroidery threads, before use in the shoe.  Vectran fibers are thinner than human hair, and relatively inexpensive.  Vectran is lightweight, flexible, and high in tensile strength, the stress at which material deforms (five times stronger than steel), which makes it an ideal component for synthetic fibers.  Vectran has also been used by NASA and in bicycle tires, among other things.

Weight
Due to the Vectran fibers, shoes containing Nike Flywire weigh as little as 93 grams, "approximately the weight of a Snickers bar with a bite missing."  There is little excess weight because the upper is very thin, and the Vectran fibers are only added where support is needed.  Shoe weight can be reduced up to 50% through the use of Flywire.  Track spikes (running shoes with spikes added for traction) containing Flywire are now lighter than Michael Johnson's famous Golden Shoes of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.  These spikes are so light that athletes claim they are like "a second skin" or "spikes coming out of their feet."  This is a goal that Bill Bowerman tried to achieve as co-founder of Nike and a spike designer.

Shoes
Many Nike shoes contain Flywire. These shoes are designed for a variety of activities and sports, including running, athletics, basketball, badminton, football, American Football, baseball and tennis. The athletics shoes were debuted at the 2007 World Championships at Osaka, while the rest made their first appearance at the 2008 Summer Olympics, in Beijing, China, though all are now available for consumer purchase.

"Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide" is the debuting single for singer Marvin Gaye, released as Tamla 54041, in May 1961. It was also the first release off Gaye's debut album, The Soulful Moods of Marvin Gaye, in which most of the material was the singer's failed attempt at making an 'adult' record compared to Motown's younger R&B sound.

Overview

Background
In 1960, Marvin Gaye moved to Detroit with his mentor Harvey Fuqua, who had first booked him as a co-lead singer of "Harvey & the Moonglows", a splinter version of the popular fifties doo-wop group, the Moonglows. Fuqua and Gaye met up with several members of the Gordy family, and before long both of them were dating the female Gordy members Gwen and Anna respectively. Around that fall, Marvin was introduced to Motown Records CEO Berry Gordy after Gaye walked in during a party at the local Hitsville studios and played around on the piano. Gordy later signed Gaye first as a session drummer for Anna Records and eventually signed him into Motown's Tamla label as an artist. After several arguments over the direction of the album - the headstrong Marvin wanted to record a "Frank Sinatra-styled pop album" while Gordy wanted him to record R&B, the two came to a compromise, while most of Soulful Moods featured covers of jazz songs and Broadway tunes, three of the final songs on the album were produced in a rhythm and blues mode.

Song style
This song was inspired by a Ray Charles ballad and featured background vocals by The Andantes. During the song Marvin mixes a smooth tenor with a few falsetto whoops.

Release
Gordy released it with the b-side being the Anna Gordy and Harvey Fuqua-penned "Never Let You Go (Sha-Lu Bop)" in May 1961, a month after Marvin's 22nd birthday. Before its release, however, Marvin sought to begin his solo career with a new name. Inspired by Sam Cooke, Marvin added an "e" to his last name therefore becoming forever known as Marvin Gaye. Despite regional success in Detroit, the song failed to enter either the pop or R&B chart on the national Billboard magazine. Mary Wells later covered the song for her own debut Motown release, Bye Bye Baby I Don't Want to Take a Chance.

Eva Qamaniq Aariak  (, ; born January 10, 1955) is a Canadian Inuk politician, who was elected in the 2008 territorial election to represent the electoral district of Iqaluit East in the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut. She was subsequently chosen as the second premier of Nunavut, under the territory's consensus government system, on November 14, 2008. Aariak was the fifth woman to serve as a premier in Canada.

In January 2021, Aariak became the sixth commissioner of Nunavut.

Background
Prior to her election as an MLA, Aariak was the first Languages Commissioner for Nunavut. Originally appointed to a four-year term beginning in 1999, her term was later extended for another year until December 2004.

In her capacity as Languages Commissioner, she was asked to choose an Inuktitut language word for the Internet; she settled on ikiaqqivik (), which literally means "travelling through layers" and refers to the angakkuq, the traditional Inuit concept of a shaman or medicine man, travelling through time and space to find answers to spiritual and material questions.

After stepping down as Languages Commissioner, she then went on to teach Inuktitut at the Pirurvik Centre in Iqaluit, and later owned and operated Malikkaat, a retail store in Iqaluit which sold Inuit arts and crafts. She was later reappointed as acting commissioner in December 2007 after the resignation of then Languages Commissioner, Johnny Kusugak.

She also served as coordinator of the Baffin Divisional Education Council's Inuktitut language book publishing program, as president of the Baffin Regional Chamber of Commerce and as chair of the Nunavut Film Development Corporation.

Her daughter Karliin was named Nunavut's new languages commissioner in 2020.

Political career
Aariak was the only woman elected to the Legislative Assembly in the 2008 election. She subsequently expressed her disappointment with that fact, suggesting that improved daycare services in Nunavut might be needed to help women participate more actively in the political process and that the territory should revisit the failed proposal to have a smaller number of electoral districts, each of which would choose one man and one woman as MLAs.

Two other women, Jeannie Ugyuk and Monica Ell-Kanayuk, were subsequently elected to the legislature in by-elections.

At the Nunavut Leadership Forum on November 14, 2008, Aariak was chosen as the new premier over incumbent Paul Okalik and MLA Tagak Curley. She was the fifth woman, after Rita Johnston, Nellie Cournoyea, Catherine Callbeck and Pat Duncan, to hold a premiership in Canada, and the sixth female First Minister in the country, including former Prime Minister Kim Campbell.

On September 5, 2013, Aariak announced that while she would seek re-election as an MLA for the new electoral district of Iqaluit-Tasiluk in the 2013 election, she was not interested in the second term as premier when the new Legislative Assembly took office. On October 28, 2013, Aariak was not re-elected as an MLA, losing by 43 votes to George Hickes.

She was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada on November 19, 2018, for her dedication to promoting Inuit culture and languages, as well as her political impacts regarding poverty reduction and the promotion of equity and gender equality.

Notes

  Aariak is occasionally seen as Arreak, which was the original spelling and was due to non-Inuit mishearing the pronunciation of names.

Moses Aupaluktuq is a territorial politician from Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut from 2008 to 2013.

Political career
Aupaluktuq ran for a seat to the Nunavut Legislature as a candidate in the Baker Lake in the 2008 territorial election. He defeated incumbent David Simailak in a hotly contested three-way race taking just over 41% of the popular vote.

Aupaluktuq also served as president and chairman of the board of directors of the Kivalliq Partners in Development Corporation (2005-2008). He also served as the first president of the National Inuit Youth Council (1994-1996) as well as the vice-president of the Inuit Youth Circumpolar Conference (1994-1996), board member of the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami  (1994-1996), and resident of the Kivalliq Hall Student Residence Council (1991-1992)

Criminal charges

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police charged him with liquor related offences on two separate occasions. The first offence occurred on November 7, 2009. The RCMP charged him with a drunk driving offence after he was found sleeping in his vehicle. The vehicle was stuck in snow, on a driveway, on private property.  He claimed he had no keys to enter his home in the community of Baker Lake, Nunavut.

Aupaluktuq contested the impaired driving charge, stating that the incident happened as the vehicle was stuck in snow in driveway on private residence property and the vehicle had already been in the driveway the day before. No mention was made as to whether the vehicle was running at the time of the offence.

His second charge came on October 1, 2010, where he was charged with unlawful possession of liquor. A liquor permit was proven later and charges dropped.

Matt Stillwell (born in Sylva, North Carolina) is an American country music artist.  He lives in Knoxville, TN with his wife, Lindsey, and two daughters, Carolina and Ruby.

During college, athletics was Matt's priority, not music. At Western Carolina University, he was an All Conference performer on the Catamount baseball team, playing both infield and outfield.  Touted as a probable major league draft choice during his junior season at WCU, he chose music over baseball.  "I could have chased the dream and went and tried out and played independent ball," he says, "but I thought, 'If I'm going to chase something,' I’d rather it be music." He later returned to Western Carolina University to be initiated into the North Carolina Omega chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity in the fall of 2017.

In late 2008, he released his debut single, "Shine", which peaked at number 52 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The single served as the title track to his third album released on September 30, 2008. His fourth album, Right on Time, was released on March 11, 2014. The album's first single, "Ignition," peaked at number 52 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 2012.  In 2015, Stillwell released "Hey Dad", a song written about the loss of his father.  The song and video have had a major impact especially online.  The updated (2021) version reached #35 on the Billboard Activator Chart and is included on his 2021 album, "Hometown".

Matt found a touring niche during the pandemic with his Hometown House Party Tour. To date, he has traveled over 100k miles across the country playing over 200 intimate concerts for fans from his custom Hometown House Party trailer/stage.  In 2020 he started curating intimate songwriter/storyteller events across the country with top country songwriters, called "Sessions w/ Matt Stillwell".

He has worked closely with the Cal Ripken Sr Foundation's "Badges For Baseball" program and MLB across the country.  In honor of his college coach, Keith LeClair who passed of ALS, Stillwell created the 723 Foundation, and is working with college baseball to further the legacy of Coach LeClair.

The Corner Inlet is a  bay located  south-east of Melbourne in the South Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. Of Victoria's large bays it is both the easternmost and the warmest. It contains intertidal mudflats, mangroves, salt marsh and seagrass meadows, sheltered from the surf of Bass Strait by a complex of 40 sandy barrier islands, the largest of which are Snake, Sunday and Saint Margaret Islands.

The inlet is protected as a Ramsar site by the Nooramunga and Corner Inlet Marine and Coastal Parks, and by part of it lying within the  Corner Inlet Marine National Park. The inlet adjoins Wilsons Promontory in the west, extends to Ninety Mile Beach in the east, and supports large numbers of migratory waders and other birds as well a rich marine flora and fauna.

History
Corner Inlet lies within the traditional lands of the Brataolong clan of the Gunai nation. In the early 1840s, European settlers moved into the area and established agricultural, mining and forestry enterprises. Commercial fishing became established in the 1860s. The surrounding land was originally covered by forest which has mostly since been cleared. It has become a popular tourist destination for recreational boating and fishing.

Birds
Some  of land and water covering Corner Inlet has been recognised by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area. Containing the most extensive intertidal mudflats in Victoria, it supports over 1% of the world populations of chestnut teal, Far Eastern curlew, red-necked stint, pied and sooty oystercatchers and the hooded plover. The critically endangered orange-bellied parrot has occasionally been seen there.

Adamee Komoartok is a Canadian politician, who was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for the electoral district of Pangnirtung in the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut in the 2008 territorial election.

On 10 March 2011, all Nunavut MLAs, with the exception of Moses Aupaluktuq and James Arvaluk who were absent, voted to suspend Komoartok until the spring session. His suspension arose after he was charged with "assault causing bodily harm" on his wife, Penena Mosesee, who was also charged with assault.

On 15 March 2011, Komoartok announced that he was resigning as MLA for Pangnirtung. He first announced his resignation on the community radio and the hamlet issued a release supporting his resignation. A by-election for the seat was to be held within six months.

The Freeport of Monrovia is the main commercial port facility in the West African nation of Liberia. It was artificially created on Bushrod Island near Monrovia in 1948. The facility contains four piers and one main wharf with four berths. The port also has tanker facilities and a fishery pier. The National Port Authority operates it.

History
As early as 1850, seagoing ships began exporting palm oil from a port at Monrovia. During World War II, the United States Armed Forces landed in Liberia to ensure the flow of rubber exports for use in wartime materials. These forces improved the port facilities in Monrovia and built an artificial harbor with two breakwaters. In 1948, this new  bay opened.

The national government took over the port from an American company in 1971 and created the National Port Authority to operate the facility. A strike in 1981 crippled the port for a month before the President of Liberia dismissed the strikers. In 1990, during the First Liberian Civil War, President Samuel Doe was captured at the port by Prince Johnson and later executed elsewhere.

In 1995, the M/V Mush sank after being overloaded and hindered port traffic until removed in 1998. On July 25, 2001, the M/V Torm Alexandra sunk at the port, blocking one of the berths. After years of failed efforts to remove the ship, the ship was raised and removed in a private operation financed by the United States government in May 2009. In 2002, the port authority completed dredging the harbor's entrance to allow for second and third generation vessels to visit.

In 2010, the Liberian government signed a $120 million (~$ in ) concession agreement with APM Terminals, establishing a public-private partnership between the company and the National Port Authority to run the port. According to the terms of the agreement, APM Terminals will modernize the port and its staff, bringing it in line with international standards.

In October 2012, Western Cluster Limited (WCL) signed a Port Lease and Operating Agreement with the management of the National Port Authority (NPA) for the rehabilitation and construction of infrastructures at the Freeport of Monrovia for WCL’s export of iron ore. WCL’s Mineral Development Agreement signed with the government of Liberia in August 2011 for the development of iron ore mines in Bea, Bomi and Mano River Mines in western Liberia required the company to enter into a Port Lease and Operating Agreement with the NPA for the shipping of its iron ore through the Freeport of Monrovia.  The agreement allows WCL to construct loading and unloading facilities including rehabilitation of the former Liberia Mining Company (LMC) and National Iron Ore Company (NIOC) piers. Under the agreement, 43.29 acres of land has been earmarked for use by WCL for developing the port facilities. Apart from the infrastructure development which will be undertaken by WCL, the National Port Authority will be receiving annual lease rental for the land.
