James Warburton (June 30, 1855 – February 9, 1928) was a physician and political figure in Prince Edward Island, Canada. He represented 5th Queens in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island from 1904 to 1912 as a Liberal member.

He was born in Woodbrook, Lot 10, Prince Edward Island, the son of James Warburton and Martha C. Green, and was educated at St. Dunstan's College, Prince of Wales College and Windsor College. Warburton went on to study medicine at the University of Edinburgh and practiced in Fife for some time. In 1882, he returned to practice in Charlottetown. Warburton was elected mayor of Charlottetown in 1893, in 1900 and in 1902. In 1887, he married Louise Margaretta Hobkirk. He was elected to the provincial assembly in a 1904 by-election held after John Whear resigned his seat.

His brother Alexander was a member of the Canadian House of Commons.

The Musée Denys-Puech is an art gallery in Rodez, France.  It was founded in 1910 by the sculptor Denys Puech (1854–1942), winner of the prix de Rome in 1884 and one of the official sculptors of the French Third Republic. The building was completed in 1910 by the architect André Boyer, who designed a ground floor with large bays to enhance the sculpture collection.

History
After having offered the city of Rodez a large collection of sculptures and drawings, the sculptor Denys Puech (1854–1942) convinced his friends, the orientalist painter Maurice Bompard (1857–1935) and the engraver Eugène Viala (1858–1913), to donate some of their works to build the collections of the future museum.

It was inaugurated on July 17, 1910. The building was designed by the architect André Boyer (1882–1953). A ground floor with large windows highlights the collection of sculptures.

The museum was renovated and enlarged in the 1980s, opening up to contemporary art. In 1989, François Morellet created integrations on the north and south facades. They are only visible from a precise angle of view and thus disappear into the architecture of the building as soon as the visitor moves. In 2005, the sculptor Aurèle Ricard created six bronze dogs lacquered in the yellow "International Aurèle Yellow" (IAY) as part of a public commission initiated by the museum. This series, entitled Tribute to Antonin Artaud, is installed on the consoles of the facade of the museum, left vacant since the construction of the museum.

The Texas railway line is a disused branch railway of the South Western railway line in the south of the Darling Downs region of Queensland, Australia, and was the last traditional branch line railway constructed in Queensland.

The McDougall brothers settled land in the Texas region in about 1840.  They later had to prove their claim to the property after another settler moved in during their absence.  At the time, the Republic of Texas in North America was in the midst of a land war with neighbouring Mexico and thus they called their property Texas station.   Deposits of silver, lead and copper were mined at Silver Spur about  east of Texas.  Tobacco was grown in the Texas region along with a busy trade in rabbit meat and skins.

Between October 1910 and March 1912, a road train serviced the area between Inglewood (a railhead on the South Western line), Texas and Silver Spur.  In 1914, following an inefficient and unreliable service, a branch line was approved linking the three centres. Construction did not begin until February 1929 and the  section between Inglewood and Texas opened on 3 November 1930.  Two small sidings appeared en route at Magee and Mundoey.

Grain, tobacco, dairy products and livestock were its main cargo but the line faced stiff competition with motor transport in the ascendancy.  Closure of the Silver Spur mine sounded the death knell of an extension beyond Texas.  Two trains a week connected with services at Inglewood.  Although special trains ran during busy times, branch traffic was always sparse.   Short branch lines ran from Texas station to livestock pens and past the Texas Freezing Works where rabbits were processed.

By 1963, passenger services had disappeared from the timetable. Regular services were withdrawn in 1985 and services were replaced by motor truck.  The line closed on 1 January 1994 and is retained by Queensland Rail as a non-operational corridor. The track was left in place but other facilities were removed.

In  he moved to right field for the Boston Red Stockings in the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, the first professional league now in its second season.

Boston won the championship. It was Rogers' only full season with the pros, but he did play in two games for the Red Stockings in 1873.

Rogers committed suicide with a gun, at the age of 30 in New York City, and is interred at Pine Grove Cemetery in Westborough, Massachusetts.

Tuberous begonias  (Begonia × tuberhybrida Voss, also known as the Tuberhybrida Group or the Tuberosa Group) are a group of Begonia cultivars, sometimes regarded as some of the most spectacular of the genus.

One of the first hybrids produced was B. x sedenii in 1870, a cross between B. boliviensis, collected by botanist Richard Pearce and a species from the Andes. Another species from Peru, B. davisii (named after Walter Davis), was also used in early breeding.

Nomenclature
The University of Vermont recognises the following 13 groups:

 (S) Single – large single flowers, four usually flat tepals (flower part undistinguishable as sepal or petal)
 (Fr) Frilled, Crispa – large single flowers, tepal margins frilled or ruffled
 (Cr) Cristata, Crested – large single flowers, frilled or tufted center of tepals
 (N) Narcissiflora, Daffodil-flowered – large more or less double flowers, central tepals form "trumpet"
 (C) Camellia, Camelliflora – large double flowers resembling camellias, unruffled, solid colors
 (RC) Ruffled Camellia – camellia flowers ruffled on edges
 (R) Rosebud, Rosiflora – large double flowers with rose bud-like center
 (Car) Carnation, Fimbriata Plena – large double carnation-like flowers, tepals fringed on margins
 (P) Picotee – large usually double flowers like camellias, tepals with different color on margin blending with other color
 (M) Marginata – like Picotee only distinct non-blending line of color on margins
 (Mar) Marmorata, Marbled – like Camellia but rose-colored, blotched or spotted with white
 (HB) Hanging Basket, Pendula – stems trailing or pendant, large to small flowers single or double
 (Mul) Multiflora – low, bushy, compact plants with many small single or double flowers

Other systems confusingly use binomial nomenclature to refer to flower types, by the terms Begonia grandiflora, Begonia multiflora and Begonia pendula. The last two correspond to groups 13 and 12, respectively. The first type, grandiflora (large flowered), is then subdivided by flower form; e.g. Begonia grandiflora erecta.

Cultivation

Tuberous begonias grow best in partial shade or filtered sunlight. Excessive exposure to sunlight can result in burnt flowers and leaves. However, too much shade will result in compensatory growth of foliage at the expense of flowers.

Soil

When preparing the soil for Begonia tuberhybrida, good drainage is important. Plant a Begonia in a pot with equal parts perlite and coarse sand. Remember that sand has an excellent soil structure as it consists of tiny spaces where air, water and nutrients can move freely.

French Argentines (; ) refers to Argentine citizens of full or partial French ancestry or persons born in France who reside in Argentina. French Argentines form one of the largest ancestry groups after Italian Argentines and Spanish Argentines. Between 1857 and 1946, 261,020 French people immigrated to Argentina. Besides immigration from continental France, Argentina also received, as early as the 1840s, immigrants with French background from neighboring countries, notably Uruguay, which expanded the French Argentine community. In 2006, it was estimated that around 6 million Argentines had some degree of French ancestry, up to 17% of the total population.

Argentines of French descent make up a substantial proportion of the Argentine population, but they are less visible than other similarly-sized ethnic group because of the high degree of assimilation and the lack of substantial French colonies throughout the country.

French immigration to Argentina
During the first half of the 19th century, most of French immigrants to the New World settled in the United States and in Uruguay. While the United States received 195,971 French immigrants between 1820 and 1855, only 13,922 Frenchmen, most of them from the Basque Country and Béarn, left for Uruguay between 1833 and 1842. During this period of time, Uruguay received most of French immigrants to South America as the conflictual relationship between Rosas and the French government had created a xenophobic climate against French immigrants in the Buenos Aires province. After the fall of Rosas in 1852, Argentina overtook Uruguay and became the main pole of attraction for French immigrants in Latin America.

From the second half of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century, Argentina received the second largest group of French immigrants worldwide, second only to the United States. Between 1857 and 1946 Argentina received 239,503 French immigrants - out of which 105,537 permanently settled in the country. By 1976, 116,032 had settled in Argentina. French immigration to Argentina can be divided in three main periods, as follows: France was the third source of immigration to Argentina before 1890, constituting over 10% of immigrants, only surpassed by Italians and Spaniards; from 1890 to 1914, immigration from France, although reduced, was still significant; lastly, after WWI, the flow of French immigrants was minimal and only grew again after WWII to finally stop in the 1950s.

In 1810, Buenos Aires had a population of 28,528 inhabitants, including 13 French citizens. At the beginning of the 19th century, French immigration to Argentina was not substantial. Mainly constituted of political exiles and former officers from the imperial army, it became more considerable from the year 1825, reaching up to 1,500-2,000 French immigrants some years. In 1839, it was estimated that 4,000 Frenchmen were living in the province of Buenos Aires, this figure increased to 12,000 in 1842. From the next decade, French people started to migrate to Argentina in large numbers.

During the first period (1852–1890), French immigration was similar, in numbers and in features, to that of Italians and Spaniards. It belonged to a larger movement of emigration of Basque people, from both sides of the Pyrenees. French formed the largest group of immigrants to Argentina until 1854. The country received 1,484 French immigrants in 1856, Frenchmen still were the second most important immigrant group after Italians. The number of French immigrants present in the Buenos Aires Province reached 25,000 in 1859. In 1861, 29,196 Frenchmen were registered in Argentina, including 14,180 living in the city of Buenos Aires where they represented the third largest foreign community and made up 7.5% of the population. In 1869, at the time of the first national census, 32,383 Frenchmen lived in the country, or about 1.7% of the total population. Immigration from France increased dramatically in the first half of the 1870s (with a peak in 1873) and in the second half of the 1890s (61,382 immigrants in a three-year period). The last rise in figures is due to a policy conducted by the Argentine government in order to reduce the increasing importance of Italian immigration, for that purpose 132,000 free travel tickets were distributed in Europe between 1888 and 1890, 45,000 out of them were given in France.  In 1887, there were 20,031 Frenchmen living in Buenos Aires, 4.6% of the 433,421 inhabitants.

During the second stage (from 1890 to 1914), French immigration was more similar to those of Germans and Britons, and was characterized by a reduced net migration rate, with the exception of the year 1912 when immigration raised as a result of propaganda led by the Argentine government in Southern France to fill in the gap caused by the prohibition of emigration from Italy to Argentina in 1911.  In 1895, after the largest wave of French immigrants had settled in Argentina, they were 94,098, i.e. 2.3% of the total population (33,185 of them were living in the city of Buenos Aires where they represented the third largest foreign community and made up 4.9% of the population). Only the United States had a higher number of French expatriates, with over 100,000 Frenchmen having immigrated there. At the turn of the 20th century figures started to decrease as immigration from France declined and previously established immigrants merged within the population. It was estimated that 100,000 Frenchmen were living in Argentina in 1912, 67% of the 149,400 Frenchmen living in Latin America and the second largest community worldwide after the United States (125,000).  In 1914, 79,491 Frenchmen were registered, accounting for 1% of the Argentine population. Between 1895 and 1914, French immigrants are the only foreign group in Argentina whose numbers (both absolute and relative) shrank in the total population.

The flow decreased dramatically during WWI. After 1918, French immigrants to Argentina numbered 1,500 per year and had a slightly positive net migration rate. The flow of French immigrants then gradually dried up. In the 1960s, around 4,000 Pieds-Noirs immigrated to Argentina from the newly independent Algeria, they constituted the last large migration from France to Argentina.

French immigration represented 5% of the flow of immigrants to Argentina until the 1870s, reached its maximum (around 12% of immigrants) in the 1870s-1880s, decreased to 4% at the end of the 20th century, and only represented 1% of immigrants in the 1920s. The year 1890, when it culminated (22% of immigrants), shows the decline of French immigration to Argentina, at the moment when the phenomenon of mass immigration to Argentina started. This is probably due to the financial crisis in 1890 and to an early demographic shift in France: population growth was slow between 1890 and 1913, limiting the need for emigration, contrary to neighboring European countries. Immigration to Argentina also showed a shift in the 1890s: while from 1860 to 1890, most of immigrants from the European countryside settled in the countryside, from 1890 to 1930 they started to settle in the cities. This could explain why French immigrants, most of them from a rural background, were more drawn to settle in North America from 1890 onwards, where access to land property was easier.

Half of French immigrants until the second half of the 20th century came from Southwestern France, especially from the Basque Country, Béarn (Basses-Pyrénées accounted for more than 20% of immigrants), Bigorre and Rouergue. Other important groups came from Savoy and the Paris region. It was estimated that at least 70% of French immigrants in Tandil were coming from the Southwestern part of the country and that half of them were of Basque stock. Until the 1880s, the great majority of French immigrants to Argentina were from the Pyrenees. Basques started settling in Argentina in the 1830s, then they began heading towards Chile and the United States in the 1870s.

Today it is estimated that up to 17% of Argentines have partial French ancestry. French Argentines formed a large portion of the elite of the country. In 1959 it was estimated that 7% of the upper-class of Buenos Aires was of French background, their ancestors having settled in the country between 1840 and 1880.

While found throughout the country, they are most numerous in Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, Córdoba, Mendoza and Tucumán provinces. According to the national census of 1895, 37.3% of Frenchmen settled in Argentina lived in the province of Buenos Aires, 35.2% in the city of Buenos Aires, 10.9% in Santa Fe and 5.1% in Entre Ríos. In the Buenos Aires province, they mostly settled south of a line uniting the partidos of Tandil and Azul, their presence being particularly noticeable in the town of Pigüé.

As of 2010, almost 15,000 French citizens are living in Argentina, the community may be higher though.

French colonies in Argentina

In 1857, an immigrant from Béarn, Alejo Peyret, founded the first farming colony in Entre Ríos, San José. In 1864, out of 380 families living in San José, 125 were from Savoy.

The town of Pigüé, founded by 165 Occitan-speaking French immigrants from Rouergue in 1884, is considered a focal center of French culture in Argentina. It is estimated that 30% to 40% of Pigüé's modern inhabitants can trace their roots to Aveyron and they still speak Occitan.

According to the 1869 census, a quarter of immigrants to the province of Mendoza were from France. In 1895, they made up 15% of immigrants of the province, right after Italians and Spaniards (26.1% and 17.3% respectively). Frenchmen were particularly numerous in the wine-producing departments of Maipú, Luján and in the French colony of San Rafael, founded by engineer Julio Gerónimo Balloffet.

In 1904, the governor of Tucumán founded a town carrying his name, Villa Nougués, as a replica of Boutx in Haute-Garonne, a French village where his family traced their roots back to.

In most cases, however, the French immigrants were not numerous enough to remain distinct from other Argentines. There was no religious barrier for the most part, with the vast majority being Catholics. The language barrier to learning Castilian was also low, especially for the native French and Occitan speakers, and they picked up Castilian quickly.

Legacy
French immigration has left a significant mark on Argentina, with a notable influence on the arts, culture, science and society of the country. In particular, many emblematic buildings in cities like Buenos Aires, Rosario, and Córdoba were built following French Beaux-Arts and neoclassical styles, such as the Argentine National Congress, the Metropolitan Cathedral, or the Central Bank building. In particular, landscape architect Carlos Thays, in his position as 1891 Director of Parks and Walkways, is largely responsible for planting thousands of trees, creating the Buenos Aires Botanical Garden and giving the city much of its parks and plazas that are sometimes compared to similar designs in Paris.

Important contributions to the arts include the works of Eugène Py, considered the founding pioneer of Argentine cinema, as well as the development of new literary genres by writers like Paul Groussac or Julio Cortázar. In the field of science, two Argentine Nobel Prize laurates were of French descent, Bernardo Houssay, 1947 laurate in Medicine, and Luis Federico Leloir, 1970 laurate in Chemistry.

Four former heads of state were born to French fathers: Supreme Directors Juan Martín de Pueyrredón and José Rondeau, as well as Presidents Carlos Pellegrini and Hipólito Yrigoyen, while several others had French ancestry, including Juan Perón, and de facto military Presidents Alejandro Lanusse, Carlos Lacoste, and Alfredo Saint-Jean. Former First Lady Eva Perón also had French background.

In 1851, Captain Louis Tardy de Montravel wrote that the city of Buenos Aires was stamped by French influence, French literature and language being there more widespread than anywhere else. According to him, this preference for France was not due to a capricious and brief craze, rather the result of a natural liking and a perfect similarity between French and Argentine characters, underlining the same lightness of being, the same quick-wittedness and liveliness, as well as the same kindness to foreigners and the similar ability for international influence.

Lunfardo
Lunfardo is an argot of the Castilian language as spoken in Argentina which appeared in Buenos Aires at the end of the 19th century. It encompasses a lot of words and expressions from languages spoken by immigrants, notably Italians, Spaniards and French. Lunfardo is heavily used in tango lyrics. After 1912, as tango became popular in Paris, French expressions were incorporated into tango lyrics and made their way into Lunfardo. It has now become an integral part of the Castilian spoken in Argentina and some of these words are still used on a daily basis.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Canadian Edition was a Canadian game show based on the British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and taped on the set of ABC of the American version of that show. A Canadian audience was flown to New York City so the contestants could "ask the audience" for help on the Canadian-themed questions. Following the airing of the two specials, CTV did announce that additional episodes of the Canadian Edition would be produced, but they never came to fruition. The series was hosted by Pamela Wallin.

The Canadian version aired on CTV on September 13 and 14, 2000.

Gameplay

As in the United Kingdom and the United States, contestants tried to answer 15 multiple-choice questions to win CA$1,000,000 (US$797,802) with three lifelines (50:50, Phone-A-Friend, and Ask The Audience) to help them. Contestants were guaranteed $1,000 for correctly answering the fifth question, and $32,000 for the tenth.

Bill Shizas was the first contestant on the Canadian show. He won $1,000 after answering his $8,000 question incorrectly.

The biggest winner during the show's run was François Dominic Laramée, a writer from Verdun, Quebec. He won $64,000.

Friedhelm Waldhausen (born 1938 in Millich, Hückelhoven, Rhine Province) is a German mathematician known for his work in algebraic topology. He made fundamental contributions in the fields of 3-manifolds and (algebraic) K-theory.

Career

Waldhausen studied mathematics at the universities of Göttingen, Munich and Bonn. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1966 from the University of Bonn; his advisor was Friedrich Hirzebruch and his thesis was entitled "Eine Klasse von 3-dimensionalen Mannigfaltigkeiten" (A class of 3-dimensional manifolds).

After visits to Princeton University, the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan he moved in 1968 to the University of Kiel, where he completed his habilitation (qualified to assume a professorship).

In 1969, he was appointed professor at the Ruhr University Bochum before in 1971 becoming a professor at Bielefeld University, an appointment he held until his retirement in 2004.

Academic work

His early work was mainly on the theory of 3-manifolds. He dealt mainly with Haken manifolds and Heegaard splitting. Among other things, he proved that, roughly speaking, any homotopy equivalence of Haken manifolds is homotopic to a homeomorphism, i.e. that closed Haken manifolds are topologically rigid. He put forward the Waldhausen conjecture about Heegaard splitting.

In the mid-seventies, he extended the connection between geometric topology and algebraic K-theory by introducing A-theory, a kind of algebraic K-theory for topological spaces. This led to new foundations for algebraic K-theory (using what are now called Waldhausen categories) and also gave new impetus to the study of highly structured ring spectra.

Recognition

Today, Waldhausen is seen, together with Daniel Quillen, as one of the pioneers of algebraic K-theory. Among others, he was awarded the von Staudt Prize in 2004 along with Günter Harder, and an honorary doctorate from the Universität Osnabrück.

GLH Hotels Management (UK) Limited (branded glh.) NOW CLERMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT LIMITED is a British-based global hotel company, headquartered in London, and subsidiary of GL Limited.

GLH is the largest owner-operator hotel management company in London with over 5,000 hotel rooms. The brandname is an abbreviation of "Great London Hospitality".

glh Hotels operates 4 hotel brands: Guoman, The Clermont, Thistle, Thistle Express, and Hard Rock. The Thistle brand operates nine hotels with seven in central London, one at London Heathrow and one in Poole. Guoman has four hotels under its collective branding: the 5-star Royal Horseguards Hotel, the Tower Hotel, Amba Hotel Marble Arch and The Cumberland Hotel all located in London. The Clermont consists of The Clermont Charing Cross and The Clermont Victoria.

History
On 11 June 2013, GLH announced its new global owner-operator strategy focusing on the 100 global cities with a 10-year ambition to become "the world’s best managed hospitality company", delivering "the best guest centred experience in the industry". According to their press release, they would launch three new brands within the following 12 months. Prior to the relaunch in June 2013, GLH operated under the name Guoman Hotel Management (UK) Limited.

On 23 October 2013, GLH launched Amba, a global 4-star hotel brand catering to “the discerning business and leisure traveller”. The first four Amba hotels were expected to be located in London with a total of 2,088 rooms available in 2015. The four launch properties announced by GLH are situated in Marble Arch, Tower Bridge, Charing Cross and Buckingham Palace Road in London. The Grosvenor Hotel on Buckingham Palace Road will be the first to open in June 2014. GLH also announced its plans to open the Amba brand across 30 UK cities and expand internationally in China, the USA and Europe.

Halfway through 2021 the Amba-hotels were rebranded to "The Clermont". As a result, former Amba Hotel Charing Cross and Grosvenor would continue as The Clermont Charing Cross and The Clermont Victoria.

The company is owned by GL Limited, an international investment company headquartered in Singapore renamed from BIL International Limited, and has a primary listing on the Singapore Exchange, with secondary listings on the London and New Zealand Stock Exchanges. The company's primary role is as an active investor with strategic shareholdings and active investment management.

N-Acetylcarnosine (NAC) (Not to confuse with N-Acetylcysteine) is a naturally occurring compound chemically related to the dipeptide carnosine. The NAC molecular structure is identical to carnosine with the exception that it carries an additional acetyl group. The acetylation makes NAC more resistant to degradation by carnosinase, an enzyme that breaks down carnosine to its constituent amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine.

Actions
Carnosine and metabolic derivatives of carnosine, including NAC, are found in a variety of tissues but particularly muscle tissue. These compounds have varying degrees of activity as free radical scavengers. It has been suggested that NAC is particularly active against lipid peroxidation in the different parts of the lens in the eye. It is an ingredient in eye drops that are marketed as a dietary supplement (not a drug) and have been promoted for the prevention and treatment of cataracts. There is scant evidence on its safety, and no convincing evidence that the compound has any effect on ocular health.

Research
Most of the clinical research on NAC has been conducted by Mark Babizhayev of the US-based company Innovative Vision Products (IVP), which markets NAC treatments.

During early experiments performed at the Moscow Helmholtz Research Institute for Eye Diseases, it was shown that NAC (1% concentration), was able to pass from the cornea to the aqueous humour after about 15 to 30 minutes. In a 2004 trial of 90 canine eyes with cataracts, NAC was reported to have performed better than placebo in positively affecting lens clarity.  An early human study NAC reported that NAC was effective in improving vision in cataract patients and reduced the appearance of cataract.

The Babizhayev group later published a placebo-controlled clinical trial of NAC in 76 human eyes with mild to advanced cataracts and reported similar positive results for NAC. However, a 2007 scientific review of the current literature discussed the limitations of the clinical trial, noting that the study had low statistical power, a high dropout rate and "insufficient baseline measurement to compare the effect of NAC", concluding that "a separate larger trial is needed to justify the benefit of long-term NAC therapy".

Babizhayev and colleagues published a further human clinical trial in 2009. They reported positive results for NAC as well as arguing "only certain formulas designed by IVP... are efficacious in the prevention and treatment of senile cataract for long-term use."

Commentary
The Royal College of Ophthalmologists remains very skeptical about claims of efficacy in cataract reversal. It issued the following public statement about NAC in August 2008:The evidence for the effectiveness of N-acetyl carnosine eye drops is based on experience on a small number of cases carried out by a Russian research team [Babizhayev]. To date, the research has not been corroborated and the results replicated by others. The long-term effect is unknown. Unfortunately, the evidence to date does not support the 'promising potential' of this drug in cataract reversal. More robust data from well conducted clinical trials on adequate sample sizes will be required to support these claims of efficacy. Furthermore, we do not feel the evidence base for the safety is in any way sufficient to recommend its use in the short term. More research is needed.

In a 2010 book on ocular disease, the current state of this subject is summarized as follows:
Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine), and its topical prodrug formulation N-acetylcarnosine (NAC), is advertised (especially on the internet) to treat a range of ophthalmic disorders associated with oxidative stress, including age-related and diabetic cataracts. No convincing animal studies or masked clinical trials have been reported.

A Cochrane review summarizing research up to June 2016 has concluded that there is "no convincing evidence that NAC reverses cataract, nor prevents progression of cataract". The authors did not include the studies conducted by the Babizhayev group because they were unable to establish that the research used scientific methods appropriate for clinical trials.

The 2000 South African motorcycle Grand Prix was the first round of the 2000 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place on 19 March 2000 at Phakisa Freeway.

500cc race report
This race was most notable for the shock win of WCM rider Garry McCoy. Initially, many thought that it would be 1999 500cc world champion Àlex Crivillé who would win the race, mainly thanks to the pole he had obtained on Saturday. This race also marked the first ever 500cc race of Valentino Rossi.

At the start of the race, Kenny Roberts Jr. on his Suzuki, overtook Crivillé at the start to lead the opening lap, followed by the Yamaha of Carlos Checa. Crivillé would drop down to 7th, whilst Tadayuki Okada moved up to third, closely followed by Loris Capirossi who would swap places with each other a few times on the opening lap. McCoy at that time was only in 8th place, and Rossi in 13th after a bad opening lap.

After a few laps, Checa would overtake Kenny Roberts Jr. for the lead, and not long after that Capirossi would follow suit. McCoy dropped to 9th place, with Valentino Rossi behind him.

On the 5th lap, Capirossi overtook Checa to lead the race, and after 12 laps, both Max Biaggi and Valentino Rossi were out of the race; Biaggi because of technical problems, and Rossi because of a crash.

With the laps closing down, McCoy overtook multiple people to reach third place. Sete Gibernau also overtook Kenny Roberts to go on and finish in what would be 4th place, but ran wide and eventually retired. Not much later, Crivillé would end up overtaking Roberts Jr. as well.

With 5 laps to go, McCoy overtook the Honda of Capirossi and went up into second place. A few corners later, he overtook the other Yamaha of Checa to lead the race. He held off a late charge from Checa and would come home to win the race with 0.366 seconds difference: the first 500cc race of his career.

This was the first race to be won by an Australian since the 1998 Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix who was won by Mick Doohan.

The 2000 Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix was the second round of the 2000 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place on 2 April 2000 at the Sepang International Circuit.

500cc race report
The race was won by Kenny Roberts Jr., after he had already qualified for pole position on Saturday.

At the start, Kenny Roberts Jr. lost ground to the Yamaha's of Carlos Checa and Norick Abe, with Loris Capirossi also making up ground to go up into third place, with Valentino Rossi right behind in 4th place. Kenny Roberts Jr. dropped down to 11th position.

After a few corners, both Àlex Crivillé and Capirossi fell and retired on the opening lap. Capirossi highsighted whilst accelerating out of the corner, taking out Crivillé in the process and almost taking out Roberts as well.

On lap 2, Roberts had moved up into 6th position, thanks to the crash from both Capirossi and Crivillé

On lap 3, Norick Abe crashed out of the race. He lowsided when coming out of corner 9 and slid into the grass.

On lap 4, Checa still led, with Rossi in second, McCoy in third, Roberts in 4th and Max Biaggi in 5th place. Rossi also crashed out of the race at turn 1, making this his second retirement of the season. He lost the front end, highsighted and slid into the grass with his Honda.

After a few laps, Roberts overtook McCoy and went up into second place, after Rossi retired. Checa still led the race, but Roberts' Suzuki was now closing in on the Yamaha of Checa with 14 laps to go.

On lap 7, Roberts overtook Checa to take a lead he would never surrender.

On lap 11, McCoy overtook Biaggi for third place after Biaggi ran wide on the first corner. He tried to gain it back, but ultimately conceded.

On lap 15, Roberts waved his hand, indicating that it was raining. The race was red-flagged, Roberts won and full points were given because two-thirds of the race distance was traversed by the riders.

Glen Ord distillery is a whisky distillery in the Scottish Highlands and is the only remaining single malt scotch whisky distillery on the Black Isle.

Glen Ord distillery produce a 12 year old, 15 year old and an 18 year old single malt The Singleton of Glen Ord that's available for export only to Southeast Asia. The distillery won awards for the best single malt at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in 1994 and 1996, and at the Monde Selection in 1996 and 1997. However, IWSC and Monde Selection awards are non-competitive and only products that pay to enter are judged.

History

In the mid-13th century, the MacKenzies of Ord were granted lands in the west of Scotland by King Alexander III. In 1820, Thomas MacKenzie of Ord inherited the estate embarked on rejuvenating the area. A large portion of MacKenzie's land was devoted to the cultivation of barley, as such he decided to lease the land for a distillery to be built, this would also provide year round employment for local men.

At the time, there were nine small licensed distilleries operating in the area to compete with, the majority of which were being run by ten-twelve of the tenant farmers. The whole of the barley crop was used in the distilleries as it was the fastest way of turning it into funds with which to pay the rent. Water from Loch nam Bonnach and Loch nan Eun flowed to two large water wheels from which the distillery derived its power. The water for the mashing was taken from a well known as the Cuckoo Well.

In its early days, the distillery operated under the name of the Ord Distillery Company. It employed 18 people and was founded in 1838 by licence holders Robert Johnstone and Donald MacLennan, who both eventually went bankrupt in 1847. In spite of bankruptcy, the distillery continued to operate illegally for a few years before they received another licence under new owners, Alexander McLennan and Thomas McGregor, in 1855.

By the time of McLennan's death in 1870, Glen Ord was sold throughout the British Colonies, including places as far as Singapore and South Africa. His widow married Alexander MacKenzie, a bank clerk from Beauly, who took over running the distillery in 1877. Upon taking over the enterprise, McKenzie constructed several new buildings which were burnt down soon afterwards. In 1880, he began marketing and selling some of Glen Ord under the name of Glen Oran.

In 1896, MacKenzie sold the distillery to James Watson & Son, whisky blenders of Dundee, who purchased the enterprise for £15,800. The company had previously acquired three other distilleries as they were primarily invested in selling blended high quality whiskies, particularly Watson's No. 10.

With the onset of World War I in 1917, the distillery was closed, along with a number of other similar businesses, by the government in order to preserve barley for food supplies. The distillery reopened after the war in 1919. However, the Watsons sold the company only four years later to Thomas Dewars & Sons of Perth, who amalgamated with the Distillers Company. They in turn, sold the distillery again in 1930 to Scottish Malt Distillers, a subsidiary company of Distillers Company Ltd.

The distillery closed its doors for a second time in 1939 due to World War II. They did not open again until 1946. Three years later, the distillery installed electrical wiring for the first time into the building, giving up the use of paraffin lamps. In 1958 the distillery went through another major change when the Meal mill closed. In 1961 the distillery ceased the use of their floor maltings and began using new saladin boxes. Five years later they greatly expanded production by tripling the number of coal-fired stills from two to six, outfitting them with steam-heated coils. They continued improvements in 1968 by constructing large mechanical floor maltings next to the distillery that could meet the needs of not only their operation but seven other Scottish Malt Distillers. Glen Ord, however, continued to use their own saladin boxes until 1983.

In 1985 DCL, including its subsidiary Scottish Malt Distillers, merged with Guinness.  The resultant grain and malt distilling enterprises were organised under the name of United Distillers Ltd. In 1997 Guinness and Grand Metropolitan merged to form Diageo, with head offices in London.

In 2001, the distillery began using Biobed Modular Plant technology to treat wastewater with low chemical oxygen demand (COD) loads. The distillery was the first company in the United Kingdom to adopt such technology.

Today the distillery continues to produce Glen Ord whisky for Diageo, which includes the whisky in Johnnie Walker blends and Diageo’s Singleton series. The distillery offers public tours throughout the year with hours on a seasonal schedule.

Glen Ord also doubles their distillery capacities by a big new building with several new wash and spirit stills in 2014.

Louis "Loulou" Gasté (18 March 1908 – 8 January 1995) was a French composer of songs.

Life
Louis Gasté was born in Paris in 1908. In his fifty-year career, he composed approximately 1,200 songs, ten of which were internationally successful. In 1929, he played in Ray Ventura's orchestra, and composed several pieces for him. He discovered and launched French singer and actress Line Renaud in 1945, and they married in 1950.

He died at Rueil-Malmaison in 1995.

"Pour Toi" / "Feelings" / "Dis-Lui" dispute

In September 1956, Gasté composed "Pour Toi" ("For you") with lyrics by Albert Simonin and his wife Marie-Hélène Bourquin, for the singer Darío Moreno, who sang it in the film Le Feu aux Poudres. It was sung later by Line Renaud, and was reinterpreted in France and internationally by various singers.

In 1974, Morris Albert sang it in English and was credited as the original author of "Feelings", launched in São Paulo by Augusta Do Brazil. In 1975, Mike Brant brought it back to France under the title "Dis-Lui" ("Tell her").

In 1976, "Feelings" was a worldwide success and was recorded by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and others.

In 1977, Gasté discovered the song was one of his melodies and sued Morris Albert. On 22 December 1988, a court found in favour of Gasté, and he won recognition as the sole creator of the song, gaining seven-eighths of all royalties, with Albert receiving the remainder for his lyrics contribution.

WYOH (1540 AM) – branded as Real Talk 1540 WYOH on weekdays and La Nueva Mia 1540 on weekends – is a commercial daytime-only radio station licensed to serve Niles, Ohio. Owned by Sagittarius Communications, LLC., the station covers the Youngstown metropolitan area. WYOH broadcasts a conservative talk format on weekdays and tropical music on weekends. The WYOH studios and transmitter are both located in Mineral Ridge; in addition to a standard analog transmission, WYOH is also available online.

History
The station went on the air as the original home of WNIO, which is where the call letters were derived from, the city of license of Niles, Ohio. The station was first owned by "The Niles Broadcasting Company," headed by Frank Bevilacqua, his son Robert Bevilacqua and Stephen Conti and operated out of studios at their transmitter site in Mineral Ridge, Ohio.

WNIO signed on as a Top 40 station, competing against the dominant Top 40 station in the market, WHOT (then at 1330 kHz; that frequency is now home to WGFT). During its Top 40 run, It featured personalities like Ron Leader, Steve Miller, Mike Richards, Vince Camp, Frankie "Mr. Lucky" Halfacre, and newsmen Ed Richards and Mark Dailey. By mid-1973, still under the Bevilacquas' ownership, the station had switched to a contemporary country format. "PS Broadcasting Corp," owned by James Psihoulis, acquired WNIO in late 1973,. PS Broadcasting also owned WWIZ 103.9 MHz in nearby Mercer, which also featured the C&W format, and both stations often promoted each other.

WNIO would be the prominent country music voice in the Mahoning Valley region until the late 1980s, when FM stations like WQXK picked up the format. WNIO would be spun off to "WNIO Broadcasting Inc.," headed by Robert Doane and Dominic Baragona, in May 1980 (renamed "WN Broadcasting" in 1990), and launched an FM sister station, classic rock WNCD "CD106 The Wolf" (then located at the 106.1 MHz facility, also licensed to Niles) in 1988.

The station became WNRB on May 5, 1990, in a simulcast of Warren station WANR as "Network 15 - The Talk of the City." Both WANR and WNRB would carry a mixture of local talk programming and urban contemporary music. WANR would eventually be spun off to a separate ownership, thus ending the simulcast. On May 23, 1994, the station changed its call sign to WFNE, taking an all-comedy format (one of the few stations to do so in the entire country) as "Funny 1540." It also served as an affiliate for Dr. Demento's syndicated radio show. In the spring of 1995, the station reverted to its original WNIO callsign, and took an adult standards format featuring Vince Camp and onetime WHOT jocks Johnny Kay, Steve Miller and Dick Thompson.

WNIO and WNCD would eventually be purchased by Jacor Communications in July 1997, but a complex series of transactions over the course of two years soon began to take place. Bain Gocom, the Boston venture capital company that was a major investor in WKBN-TV's now-former parent company, purchased both WRTK 1390-AM and WBBG 93.3-FM in February 1998, then bought WTNX 95.9-FM and New Castle stations WICT 95.1-FM and WPAO 1470-AM by the end of that year. Gocom then leased out to Jacor operating control of their entire radio station group. Jacor would also buy WKBN 570-AM, WKBN 98.9-FM, and three additional stations in New Castle - WKST 1280-AM, WKST-FM 92.1-FM and WBZY 1200-AM, and took over operations of WBTJ 101.9-FM from owner Stop 26/Riverbend under an LMA. After Jacor completed its merger with Clear Channel Communications on April 29, 1999, ten radio stations in the Youngstown/New Castle region were now united under one roof.

Clear Channel decided to move WNIO's adult standards format to the Gocom-owned 1390 kHz facility, which would enable the station to operate around-the-clock as opposed to a daytime-only basis, a move that took place on November 11, 1999 (the adult standards format would last until December 27, 2010). While the 1540 kHz facility took the WRTK call letters, the "Real Talk" talk radio format previously heard on the 1390 kHz facility was discontinued. Instead, WRTK would operate first as a simulcast of WNCD, then of WBBG (which assumed the 106.1 MHz facility that was home to WNCD a year later), with the Mineral Ridge studios effectively abandoned.

WRTK and WPAO were purchased by Dale Edwards' D&E Broadcasting - owner of WABQ in Cleveland - in April 2001. Edwards relaunched the station with a R&B oldies format as "1540 The Hook," which was programmed by veteran Cleveland broadcaster Lynn Tolliver. While as "The Hook," the station also carried Doug Banks' syndicated morning show.

In March 2004, D&E Broadcasting filed an application with the FCC that would have allowed for WRTK to relocate to Lakewood, Ohio and operate as a daytimer on the 1180 kHz frequency, presumably from WABQ's transmitter facility, but said application was dismissed by August of that year. While WPAO was spun off to Holy Family Communications in 2003, Edwards kept WRTK until July 2005, when he sold it to Beacon Broadcasting, headed by former steel magnate Harold Glunt. This transaction also put WNIO back in common ownership with both WANR and WLOA (the former WPAO). In March 2006, nearly nine months after both Edwards and Tolliver left the station, the R&B format (which remained virtually intact, even with liners and IDs voiced by Tolliver) was finally replaced with urban gospel, carrying the Rejoice! Musical Soul Food satellite network.

On January 2009, WRTK became "Freq 1540," playing contemporary Christian, southern gospel, and many other like genres. The "Freq" nickname was borrowed from then-sister station WEXC, and its slogan, "Reaching The Kingdom," became a backronym for the station's callsign. After Harold Glunt died in January 2010, all of his stations were put up for sale, including WRTK. Consequently, WRTK dropped the CCM format in favor of a daytime-only simulcast of Fox Sports affiliate WANR.

On Friday, August 13, 2010, WRTK and WANR were sold to Whiplash Radio LLC of Ohio. The company is headed by radio veteran Chris Lash, who has owned, built and operated stations in Pennsylvania, Florida, Tennessee and Ohio. WRTK's abandoned studio/transmitter facility was since heavily remodeled and cleaned up, and now houses both stations. WRTK officially split from its simulcast of WANR on September 1, 2010, in favor of a classic country format, dubbed "1540 The Farm." The new classic country format was also a throwback to WNIO's stint as a country outlet throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Weekday programming included a morning show hosted by Burton Lee starting at the station's sign-on at dawn, and a one-hour version of "Country Gold With Rowdy Yates" at noon. Syndicated weekend programs included America's Grand Ole Opry Weekend, Country Music Greats with Jim Ed Brown, Wheeling Jamboree, The Ron Seggi Show on Saturdays, and Country Gold with Rowdy Yates on Sundays. On Thursday, December 9, WRTK applied to the Federal Communications Commission for new call letters WYCL, standing for "Youngstown's Country Legends".

On June 6, citing health concerns, owner Chris Lash leased out operating control of WYCL to Skylar Cato Broadcasting, managed by Philip Cato, who changed WYCL's format to locally produced talk radio. Louie b. Free moved his talk show from WGFT over to WYCL, where he had a succession of different airtimes during Skylar Cato management, and continued to broadcast on WYCL until late 2012.

The lease was canceled that November 25 and subsequently turned over to WHTX operator JL Communications, LLC (managed by Jim Davison and Laurel Taylor) who temporarily flipped the station to a partial simulcast of WHTX before relaunching the talk format as "Valley Talk 1540 WYCL" in January 2012. Some of the talk hosts on WYCL included a simulcast of WHTX morning host Gary Rhamy, Louie B. Free in the late morning/early afternoons, Frank Bellamy in the late afternoons, Don Hanni III on Saturday afternoons (and early evenings in spring and summer months) and syndicated programs hosted by Jim Blasingame and Maureen Anderson.

The talk format would end that April, reverting to a total simulcast of WHTX again as "The Fabulous 1570/1540" (with Louie's show airing on both stations) before finally returning to classic country, once again as "1540 The Farm," on June 18, 2012.

Sagittarius Communications, LLC, took over WYCL and WHTX on October 1, 2012, via a local marketing agreement with a lease-to-purchase option from Whiplash Radio, LLC. That November 1, WYCL flipped from classic country over to a tropical Spanish format branded as "La Nueva Mia 1540."

Sagittarius' lease-to-purchase option with WYCL and WHTX initially failed to close, and another local marketing agreement was established in May 2013 by WHTX and WYCL's engineer, Ben Slagle (who subsequently assumed like duties for Radio One's Cleveland, Ohio cluster of radio stations) in May 2013. The format, in turn, flipped back to classic country, once again as "1540 The Farm." Programming this time included a simulcast of Gary Rhamy's WHTX adult-standards-driven morning drive program, and an afternoon program hosted by Chet Holbrook.

Whiplash Radio of Ohio, LLC, took WYCL dark on October 1, 2013, after the voluntary cancellation of Slagle's local marketing agreement due to non-payment, in addition to a number of unresolved technical issues at the stations' transmitter site. Following a court settlement in late October 2013 between Sagittarius and Whiplash Radio, WHTX and WYCL were returned to Sagittarius. While WYCL remained silent, it resumed operations on December 15, 2013, once again carrying a tropical Spanish format as "La Nueva Mia 1540."

In March 2017, WYCL updated its branding and on-air presentation to "Youngstown's Cool WYCL 1540 AM" carrying a greatest hits of the 1980s format in addition to dropping the tropical Spanish format.

On November 20, 2017, WYCL changed formats again to conservative talk featuring news at the top of the hour from the Salem Radio Network. The station primarily aired Salem's syndicated talk shows, including Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, Larry Elder, and Mike Gallagher.

Station owner Whiplash Radio surrendered the licenses to both WHTX and WYCL on February 14, 2018, and sent the FCC a request to delete both licenses, effective immediately. While initially granting this request (the call letters would be formally reassigned as DWYCL), both licenses and callsigns were restored by the FCC on May 4, 2018, and the assignment application for consent to assign the licenses to Sagittarius Communications was concurrently reinstated. After the order from the FCC, the licence for the station was given to Michael Thompson, Receiver until the sale to Sagittarius Communication is complete.

On January 28, 2019, WYCL relaunched as "NewsTalk 1540 WYCL", carrying programming from Salem Radio Network, Fox Sports Radio, Westwood One, Fox News Radio, and SB Nation Radio. While WYCL is a daytime-only station, programming does continue to air 24/7 through their internet audio stream on TalkMahoningValley.com.

On April 9, 2018, the station sale was consummated and ownership was transferred to Sagittarius Communications, LLC.

Sometime in August 2019, WYCL due to technical issues, filed with the FCC a silent STA, until repairs could be made. The FCC granted the STA. A short time later, News Talk 1540 WYCL resumed operations with its current News Talk format.

On April 30, 2021 WYCL dropped the News Talk format for locally programmed Oldies. The station was branded "Cool 1540".

On Monday July 18, 2022, WYCL changed formats again back to News Talk featuring shows from FOX Radio Network, Salem Media and others. Weekend programming features all Spanish Music. The station changed its call sign to WYOH on September 5, 2022.

WSEO (107.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a New Country format. Licensed to Nelsonville, Ohio, United States, the station is currently owned by Nelsonville TV Cable and under the management of TMCR Broadcasting.

The station went on the air as WSNV on 1989-09-29. On 1990-01-22, the station changed its call sign to WAIS-FM, and on 1990-07-23 to the current WSEO. The station first began broadcasting from studios above its parent company's cable studios in downtown Nelsonville until the early 1990s when its owner built a new cinder-block, windowless station on U.S. Route 33 near the Hocking River, housing WSEO and its sister AM station, WAIS.

The studios were a first of their kind in Ohio in 1993, using an entirely digital production environment for commercial, music and news production. A combination of Contemporary Country, community information, high school sports broadcasting and tight programming likely led to the ratings.

Its local community service area is unique in that Athens, Ohio is not well-served by a commercial television station, leaving residents to depend on radio for most news.

The Cattle Drive at 5 is an all request hour at 5pm. Listeners can call in 740-753-4094 ext. 1 for requests or dedications. The station also features a Theme based countdown hour called the Se7en at 7pm.

Micropterix aureatella is a moth of the family Micropterigidae found in the Palearctic realm (from Europe to Japan), except for North Africa.

Taxonomy
The moth was first described from a specimen found in Carniola, present-day Slovenia, by the Austrian physician and naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1763. He named it  Phalaena aureatella. Phalaena – a word used by Aristotle, meaning the rest of the moths; or possibly a devouring monster or whale, which may be derived from the destructive properties of clothes moths; or possibly from phallus an association by the Greeks of lepidoptera and semen which was supposed to attract moths; or paros i.e. a light and the attraction of moths to lights. The moth was later put in the genus Micropterix, which was raised by Jacob Hübner and the name comes from the small size of the adult; Mikros – ″little″ and pterux – ″a wing″. The specific name aureatella – golden from aureatus, referring to the three submetallic markings on the forewing.

Tinea merianella [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775 is most probably a synonym of Micropterix aureatella, which is the only purple moth with three golden transverse fasciae within the federal territory of Vienna. The type of T. merianella was destroyed in the Hofburg fire in 1848 and it is thus hard to determine if the species is indeed a synonym.

Subspecies
 Micropterix aureatella aureatella
 Micropterix aureatella junctella Weber, 1945
 Micropterix aureatella shikotanica Kozlov, 1988

Description
The wingspan is . The head is yellowish and the base colour of the forewings is purple or bronze with two golden bands and an oval spot towards the wingtip. The adults have working mandibles and feed on the pollen of a variety of flowers, especially those of sedges (Carex species).

Larva
A single larva has been found amongst fungal hyphae in mixed beech, bilberry and oak leaf litter. The larvae are believed to feed on bilberry (Vaccinium species).

Pupa
The pupa is unknown.

Blepharotes coriarius, the giant yellow robber fly, is a species of large predatory fly from Australia in the family Asilidae (robber flies). It was described by the German naturalist Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann in 1830.

Description
B. coriarius is one of the largest known robber flies. It can measure up to 48mm in length (including proboscis). Both sexes have orange abdominal tergites, with patches of black setae along the sides of segments 1-5 and mostly white setae along the sides of segments 6 and 7.

Distribution
The giant yellow robber fly is found in the Australian states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.

Behaviour
Adults can be found from December to February. They are usually seen resting on dead plants, with the body aligned vertically and the head pointing upwards. Insect prey are taken in the air after the fly launches itself from a vantage point. Recorded prey items include beetles, bees, wasps and flying ants. Feeding time varies from less than two minutes (for a large ant) up to 17 minutes (for a scarab beetle).

Males of B. coriarius attempt to mate with any member of the same species (whether male or female) that enters their territory, which is usually the area around a dead tree. Intruding males are driven off by this. A few minutes after successful copulation, females begin laying eggs into gaps of dead eucalypts, or into cracks in the ground at the base of such trees. She generally begins oviposition in the top soil, before gradually flying up the tree, depositing more eggs as she goes.

Pupae first emerge from the soil at the beginning of December. The pupal cases are around 35mm long, with reddish brown spines and processes glistening reddish brown to dark brown.

WQLX (106.5 FM) is a radio station  broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format. Licensed to Chillicothe, Ohio, United States, it formerly broadcast country music from Hillsboro, Ohio at 106.7 FM. The station is currently owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and features programming from their Premium Choice network dubbed "Today's Mix".

The station effectively replaced the former "Mix 94.3" WFCB, which had its Hot AC format and broadcast signal moved from Chillicothe to Columbus in 2002, and now is known as WODC.

Prior to 2009, WQLX was WSRW-FM at 106.7 MHz, mainly featuring a country music format and sharing the "Buckeye Country" branding with WCHO-FM. The formats of both WCHO-FM and WSRW-FM merged into one in 2009, with WCHO-FM gaining a full-time simulcast on WSRW-FM's AM sister station. WSRW-FM then moved to the 106.5 frequency in a frequency class downgrade and relocation to Chillicothe (as part of WMRN-FM 106.9 in Marion moving to the Columbus market at 106.7 as WRXS).

WSRW-FM took a temporary branding as "Ross 106.5" following the move before adopting the "Mix" banner and WQLX calls.  Clear Channel moved the WSRW-FM calls to Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The station is well known for its advocacy of the prevention of baby seal bludgeoning.
