The Mad River is a tributary to the Winooski River in Vermont.  It has its headwaters in Granville Gulf, then flows north through the towns of Warren, Waitsfield, and Moretown before entering the Winooski River just downstream from Middlesex.  Other towns within the Mad River watershed are the entire Town of Fayston and a portion of the Town of Duxbury. Relative to other rivers in the state, the Mad River is fairly rocky and clear, making it a popular for swimming. In the summer of 2008, didymo, or Rock Snot, was found in the upper portions of the river.

The Mad River Valley is a popular region with tourists due to its picturesque scenery and two ski areas, Mad River Glen and Sugarbush Resort.  Since 1990, the Friends of the Mad River – a non-profit formed to preserve and protect the recreational, ecological and aesthetic resources of the Mad River – has been engaged in citizen-based water quality monitoring, river restoration, land conservation, and public education and outreach on behalf of the Mad River watershed.

The Global Health Council is a United States-based non-profit leading networking organization "supporting and connecting advocates, implementers and stakeholders around global health priorities worldwide". The Council is the world's largest membership alliance dedicated to advancing policies and programs that improve health around the world. The Council serves and represents thousands of public health professionals from over 150 countries. They work "to improve health globally through increased investment, robust policies and the power of the collective voice.": According to their website the Council "convenes stakeholders around key global health priorities and actively engages key decision makers to influence health policy."

After shutting its doors in 2012, GHC re-opened with a newly elected board of directors on January 1, 2013. In their new model, the Global Health Council works in three main areas: policy and advocacy, member engagement, and connections and coordination. Reflecting this focus, GHC offers an online platform that includes guest blogs, member spotlights, policy briefs, advocacy updates, and global health job postings. Additionally, the GHC has since participated in significant global health events at the national and international level including the World Health Assembly, Global Health Week on the Hill, and the Consortium of Universities for Global Health Consortium.

The Council coordinates and participates in a number of working groups, coalitions, and roundtables in the global health advocacy community, including the GHC Budget Roundtable and Global Health Security Roundtable. The Council maintains a global health Advocacy Hub and coordinates the biennial publication of the Global Health Briefing Book. The most recent publication, titled Global Health Works: Maximizing U.S. Investments for Healthier and Stronger Communities, was released in 2017 for the 115th U.S. Congress.

History

Through almost five decades of work, the Global Health Council has continuously served as the leading membership organization focused on global health advocacy.

In 1972, the ‘National Council for International Health’ was first established. In 1998, the organization became the Global Health Council to better represent its work in the 21st century. As the council evolved, its name had to evolve to correctly reflect the scope of the Council's work. The inclusion of global in its name reflected the Council's goal to include more international organizations and individuals in its membership and become the preeminent non-governmental source of information, practical experience, analysis and public advocacy for the most pressing global health issues.

In 1998, the Council began organizing the Global Health Action Network in pursuit of its advocacy building goals. The network was designed to establish groups of motivated citizens across the U.S. to educate local communities and their elected officials about the need for a more proactive approach to global health. With this network in place, the Council was able to implement nationwide advocacy campaigns dealing with vital global health issues. The Council continued to grow as the voice for global health by using its annual conference; its website to promote advocacy, education and information sharing; its media outreach through a diverse field of multi-disciplinary specialists; and its publications, including the Global Health Magazine ".

As part of the Council's work in advocacy and developing awareness of the AIDS crisis, the seventeen-year-old International AIDS Candlelight Memorial event came under their stewardship in 1999. The International AIDS Candlelight Memorial grew to include 1,500 communities in more than 100 countries. It is the world's largest and oldest grassroots HIV/AIDS event.

In April 2012, the Global Health Council announced it would be closing its doors for the upcoming months. The Board of Directors released the announcement acknowledging that, “although the Global Health Council will no longer play the same role, we will continue to fight for the goals that first inspired us to action.”

With no unified voice for global health in the advocacy sphere, 40 international organizations came together at the end of 2012 to pledge almost $300,000 over three years to establish a new Global Health Council. The new Council included a newly elected Board of Directors and leaner business model. In January 2013, the Global Health Council reopened its doors to continue their mission bringing global health concerns to the forefront of policy work. The Council added Global Impact to serve as the organization Secretariat, in order to allow the Council to focus on advocacy through convening, communications, and coalition-building. Dr. Christine Sow was selected as its new executive director, becoming the first woman to lead the organization.

GHC has hundreds of individual and organizational members representing a number of sectors in the global health field. In 2014, GHC member organizations operated in more than 150 countries worldwide and had a combined annual revenue of over $40 billion. The board of directors is led by Dr. Jonathan Quick of Management Sciences for Health (MSH).  Loyce Pace became president and executive director of the organization in December 2016.

Awards
The Council has administered a number of prominent awards. Some of the recipients have been barred from traveling to receive them which has brought attention to their work. In addition to the following honorific awards the organization has also conferred the "Best Practices in Global Health Award" and the "Excellence in Media Award for Global Health".

Jonathan Mann Award for Health and Human Rights
The Jonathan Mann Award for Health and Human Rights is named for former head of the World Health Organization (WHO)'s global AIDS program, Jonathan Mann, who resigned to protest the lack of response from the United Nations and WHO with regard to AIDS. In 2001, the recipient was Gao Yaojie, a retired Chinese gynecologist and one of China's foremost AIDS fighters who helped poor farmers in Henan Province that were infected with H.I.V. through selling their blood at for-profit and unsanitary collection stations. Yaojie was denied permission to attend an awards ceremony in Washington with Secretary General Kofi Annan of the United Nations as her host.

In 2008, the Mann award was to be given to Binayak Sen, a prominent Indian doctor responsible for drawing up one of the most successful community-based health-care models in India — based on the traditional mitanin, a health worker who advises the rural poor on preventive care — making health care available to many who had lacked access. He had been a vocal critic of the government's use of armed groups to push villagers out of mineral-rich forests to boost development and was jailed in April 2007 on sedition charges, including allegedly being linked to Maoist rebels and smuggling a letter for an accused Maoist prisoner he had visited. Sen denies the charges and his effort to get the award in person was bolstered by 22 Nobel laureates; he is out of jail on bail.

Gates Award
Named for and funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Microsoft Corp. founder and his wife, the Gates Award ($1 million) is administered by the Council. In 2004 the award went to Fazle Hasan Abed and his organization, Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), one of the "world's most successful development organizations, credited with improving the health and welfare of tens of millions of destitute people in Bangladesh". Past winners include the Rotary Foundation, which has raised millions for an ongoing global campaign to stamp out polio.

The winner of the 2009 Gates Award was awarded to The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

Funding
From its inception through the 1990s, the Council was principally funded by grants (primarily from the U.S. Agency for International Development [USAID] and the Centers for Disease Control [CDC])." In 1998, Nils Daulaire, formerly of USAID, became president of The Global Health Council and felt that the council should be an independent voice. The council diversified its funding as a matter of principle, even though at the time its policy agenda was consistent with that of the then administration. By 2003, only 20 percent of the council’s funding came from the U.S. government."

The Council has received grants of varying sizes from a variety of foundations, including the Gates, Packard, Hewlett MacArthur, and Rockefeller.

As part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, US government support for AIDS prevention was contingent on opposing prostitution starting in 2003. The Council preferred to remain neutral so as not to alienate sex workers from their anti-HIV efforts so they sued in federal court with other non-profits. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the requirement violated the First Amendment's prohibition against compelled speech in Agency for International Development v. Alliance for Open Society International, Inc.

Linda Marion Dessau  (born 8 May 1953) is an Australian jurist and barrister who served as the 29th Governor of Victoria from 2015 to 2023. She is the first female and the first Jewish holder of the office. She was previously a judge of the Family Court of Australia from 1995 to 2013.

Early life

Dessau was born in Melbourne, Victoria, on 8 May 1953, the youngest of four children. Her father, John Dessau, arrived in Melbourne from Poland in 1929. At first he took on factory work, but later he became a businessman. He married Sybil, who was born in Melbourne.

Dessau spent time in Israel as a young woman, including several months as a kibbutznik at Sdot Yam.

Dessau was educated at St Catherine's School, Toorak, matriculating at the age of sixteen. She graduated with a Bachelor of Laws with Honours from the University of Melbourne in 1973 as its youngest law graduate.

Legal career

Dessau was admitted to practise as a solicitor and barrister in 1975. She worked as associate partner with Melbourne-based family law firm Wisewoulds, later practising as a barrister in family law matters for four years. In 1982 she moved to Hong Kong and took up an appointment as crown counsel in the Legal Department. She was subsequently appointed senior crown counsel and prosecuted criminal jury trials and appeals. Dessau returned to Australia in 1985 and the following year was appointed as a magistrate with the Magistrates' Court of Victoria. She was supervising magistrate of the court's civil and family division until her appointment to the Family Court of Australia in 1995.

Community service

Dessau was appointed to the AFL Commission in November 2007, the second woman ever appointed to the Commission, and attracted speculation that she might become the first female Chair of the Commission. She is a supporter of the Essendon Football Club, and in 1997 she started, and was the inaugural chair of, the Essendon Women's Network, which for more than a decade has maintained a strong presence in the grand final week calendar. She was appointed to the board of the Melbourne Festival, of which she became president in 2014. Dessau was a member of the Council of Trustees of the National Gallery of Victoria from August 2013, resigning on 27 March 2015 following the announcement of her appointment as Governor.

Awarding Dessau an honorary doctorate in 2022, Melbourne's La Trobe University described her as "an inspiring pioneer and role model for women in leadership through her judicial appointments and in her numerous community roles in service of others."

Governor

With an eight-year term, Dessau is the longest-serving Governor of Victoria since 1974, when Major General Sir Rohan Delacombe, KCMG KCVO KBE CB DSO concluded an eleven year term. Announcing a three-year extension to her five year term in 2019, the Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews, said of Dessau and her husband, “Through their tireless work they have wonderfully represented and celebrated our diverse community and its achievements at home and internationally, while making Government House a more open, accessible and inclusive place.”

On 1 November 2021, Dessau succeeded Queensland governor Paul de Jersey as the longest-serving incumbent state governor. Although she had received a commission to act as Administrator of the Commonwealth in the absence of the governor-general of Australia following her appointment in 2016, it was only after becoming the longest-serving state governor in 2021 that she was routinely called on to fulfill that role.

La Trobe University's 2022 honorary doctorate citation said, "As Governor, she has carried out her constitutional responsibilities and ceremonial duties with distinction and worked tirelessly in the community and international engagement activities."

Dessau is one of five Jews to have served in a viceregal capacity in Australia, after governors-general Sir Isaac Isaacs and Sir Zelman Cowen, and governors Sir Matthew Nathan (Queensland) and Gordon Samuels (New South Wales).

In August 2016, Dessau was embroiled in an expenses scandal, which saw her personally repay the expenses of lunches at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant (Pétrus) and Harrods, which had originally been paid by the Victorian taxpayer. In 2016, the level of expenses for capital works and ongoing maintenance requested by Dessau were alleged to be excessive, and a former Government House employee told the Herald Sun that the working environment there was "toxic".

On the expiration of her term on 30 June 2023, she was succeeded by Margaret Gardner, the then-vice chancellor of Monash University. At the same time as announcing Professor Gardner as the 30th Governor of Victoria, the Premier thanked Dessau "for her outstanding leadership and compassion during some of our state’s most challenging times. The Governor and her husband Anthony Howard AM KC have supported, represented and championed our diverse community with grace and dedication.”

Personal life

Dessau is married to Anthony Howard, AM, KC, a former judge of the County Court of Victoria. They were married in 1982 and have two sons. In 2021 their son Ollie became engaged to Lauren Thurin, the granddaughter of billionaire property developer John Gandel.

The French cruiser Marseillaise was one of five  armored cruisers built for the French Navy () in the first decade of the 20th century. Fitted with a mixed armament of  and  guns, the ships were designed for service with the battle fleet. Completed in 1903, Marseillaise joined her sister ships in the Northern Squadron (). She was transferred to the Mediterranean Squadron () the following year where she served as a flagship, but rejoined the Northern Squadron in 1908. Together with two of her sisters, the ship returned to the Mediterranean the following year, but was assigned to the 2nd Squadron () in 1911, as the units based in northwestern France had been renamed.

When World War I began in August 1914, Marseillaise was assigned to patrol the English Channel to enforce the blockade of Germany and remained on that duty into 1915. She was transferred to the French West Indies later that year where she searched for German commerce raiders and escorted convoys for the rest of the war. The ship served in the Baltic Sea after the war and was reduced to reserve in 1921. Marseillaise was used as a gunnery training ship in 1925–1929 and was broken up in 1933.

Design and description

The Gloire-class ships were designed as enlarged and improved versions of the preceding  by Emile Bertin. The ships measured  overall, with a beam of  and a draft of . They displaced . Their crew numbered 25 officers and 590 enlisted men.

The sisters' propulsion machinery consisted of three vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving a single propeller shaft, using steam provided by water-tube boilers, but the types of machinery differed between them. Marseillaise had four-cylinder engines fed by 28 Belleville boilers that were designed to produce a total of  intended to give them a maximum speed of . During her sea trials on 5 August 1903, the ship reached  from . The cruisers carried enough coal to give them a range of  at a speed of .

Armament and armor
The main battery of the Gloire class consisted of two quick-firing (QF) 194 mm Modèle 1893–1896 guns mounted in single-gun turrets fore and aft of the superstructure. Their secondary armament comprised eight QF 164.7 mm Modèle 1893–1896 guns and six QF Canon de  Modèle de 1893 guns. Four of the 164.7 mm guns were in two single-gun wing turrets on each broadside and all of the remaining guns were on single mounts in casemates in the hull. For defense against torpedo boats, they carried eighteen  and four  Hotchkiss guns, all of which were in single mounts. The sisters were also armed with five  torpedo tubes, of which two were submerged and three above water. Two of these were on each broadside and the fifth tube was in the stern. All of the above-water tubes were on pivot mounts. The ships varied in the number of naval mines that they could carry and Marseillaise was fitted with storage for 14.

The Gloire class were the first French armored cruisers to have their waterline armored belt made from Harvey face-hardened armor plates. The belt ranged in thickness from . Because of manufacturing limitations, the thinner end plates were nickel steel. Behind the belt was a cofferdam, backed by a longitudinal watertight bulkhead. The upper armored deck met the top of the belt and had a total thickness of  while the lower armored deck curved down to meet the bottom of the belt and had a uniform thickness of .

The main-gun turrets were protected by  of Harvey armor, but their barbettes used  plates of ordinary steel. The face and sides of the secondary turrets were  thick and the plates protecting their barbettes were  thick. The casemates protecting the 100-millimeter guns also had a thickness of 102 millimeters. The face and sides of the conning tower were 174 millimeters thick.

Construction and career

Marseillaise, named after the French national anthem, was authorized in the 1898 Naval Program and was ordered from the Arsenal de Brest on 19 June 1899. The ship was laid down on 10 January 1900, launched on 14 July 1900, and completed in October 1903. The cost of her construction was 22,031,750 francs. Marseillaise was initially assigned to the 1st Cruiser Division () of the Northern Squadron. The ship carried President of France Emile Loubet to Naples, Italy, for a state visit in April 1904 and was then transferred to the Light Squadron () of the Mediterranean Squadron in October. By September 1905, she was flagship of Rear Admiral () Paul Campion, commander of the squadron, and remained as such until she was briefly placed in reserve in July 1907.

Marseillaise was recommissioned in January 1908 as the flagship of Rear Admiral Thierry, commander of the 2nd Cruiser Division of the Northern Squadron. Rear Admiral Paul Auvert relieved Thierry by July 1909. After a reorganization in October that saw the Mediterranean Squadron redesignated as the 1st Squadron () and the Northern Squadron becoming the 2nd Squadron, Marseillaise and her sister  were assigned to the 2nd Light Division ( (DL)) of the 1st Squadron. When the s began entering service in August 1911, the French Navy reorganized yet again with the 2nd Squadron renumbered as the 3rd and the 2nd DL, including Marseillaise, was redesignated as the 3rd DL and assigned to the 3rd Squadron by 4 September. The ship participated in the fleet review by President Armand Fallières off Toulon that day. After the Agadir Crisis of 1911, the French and British governments agreed in 1912 that the Royal Navy would defend the northern French coast and the French would concentrate their fleet in the Mediterranean and defend British interests there. The French forces left in the north were consolidated into the 2nd Light Squadron with the 3rd DL redesignated as the 1st Cruiser Squadron. Rear Admiral Albert Royer hoisted his flag aboard Marseillaise by 10 November 1913.

World War I
When World War I began on 3 August, the 1st Cruiser Division was redesignated as the 1st Light Division and transferred to Cherbourg. From there they provided distant cover for the ships enforcing the blockade at the western entrance to the Channel. The 1st DL covered the transports ferrying the British 6th Infantry Division from Southampton to Saint-Nazaire on 9–10 September. On 27 October the French patrols in the Channel were reorganized with Marseillaise  tasked to reinforce the smaller cruisers now conducting the patrols.

After the eastern entrance to the Channel was sealed off with anti-submarine nets and minefields in 1915, the armored cruisers were no longer required and Marseillaise had been sent to the West Indies by 1916. After another reorganization in May, the ship and all of her sisters were assigned to the 3rd DL which was tasked with patrolling the West Indies in search of German commerce raiders. The 3rd DL was disbanded on 18 May 1917 and the remaining cruisers in the West Indies were assigned to the 4th DL which was redesignated as the Atlantic and Antilles Division () on 1 June 1917. Marseillaise escorted a convoy of nine tugboats from Brazil to Agadir, French Morocco, in August and visited Dakar, French West Africa, in September. During the visit, the ship became infested with mosquitoes that led to an outbreak of malaria that infected 420 men of her crew of 520. She was only able to man her two outer engine rooms and only had enough stokers available to reach a speed of . Marseillaise reached her base at Fort-de-France in the colony of Martinique on 12 November, but the epidemic did not end until the following month. The division was tasked with escorting convoys bound for Europe from Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands beginning on 15 February 1918. It was renamed as the Atlantic Division on 25 June.

Marseillaise was assigned to the Baltic Division () on 18 December 1918 and remained there until she was relieved by the armored cruiser  in November 1919. The ship was assigned to the Atlantic Division in March 1920 and was part of the escort on 29 June for the ocean liner  as she ferried President of the United States Woodrow Wilson from Europe to the US. Marseillaise was placed in reserve in 1921 and became a gunnery training ship at Toulon in 1925–1929. She was stricken from the naval register in 1929; the ship was renamed Marseilles II on 13 February 1932, condemned that same day and was scrapped at Brégaillon in December 1933.

Boiceville is a hamlet in the town of Olive, Ulster County, New York, United States. Located at the intersection of New York State Route 28 and New York State Route 28A, Boiceville is within Catskill State Park.

Boiceville was named for Lemuel Boice (born in Shokan in 1819, died in Boiceville, 1899), who established a tannery in the town. Members of the Boice family owned tanneries, bluestone quarries, stores, farms, lumber businesses and mills in Olive for many years. Boiceville was relocated due to the construction of the Ashokan Reservoir. The current commercial center of the town is subject to severe flooding during exceptionally powerful storms. Some businesses have accepted buyouts from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. The future of others is in doubt.

The Emile Brunel Studio and Sculpture Garden was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

Education
Onteora Central School District operates the public schools in Boiceville, including Onteora High School, Onteora Middle School, and Bennett Elementary School.

After leaving school he played football for Ball Heath, Burslem Swifts, Pitshill and Biddulph He joined Stoke in May 1900 he made his debut in 1901–02. He was awarded the captaincy in his first full season of 1902–03, alongside Tom Holford and James Bradley, Baddeley completed a powerful midfield three which effectively kept Stoke in the First Division throughout the early 1900s. Although occasionally criticised for 'marring a clever display by trying to do much with the ball' Baddeley's consistency allowed him to play 99 consecutive for Stoke from February 1903. Despite home crowds averaging 8,000 in 1905–06, the directors brought poorly and Stoke imploded first being relegated and then being liquidated which saw them leave the Football League at the end of the 1907–08 season.

In July 1908 Baddeley along with centre forward Freddie Brown signed for West Bromwich Albion for £250 and made his debut away at Grimsby Town two months later. He won a Second Division championship medal with the club in 1910–11 and an FA Cup runners-up medal in 1912. Baddeley's last game for Albion was against Sheffield Wednesday on 18 April 1914, at the age of 39 years, 345 days. He remains, as of October 2008, the oldest player ever to appear for the club in a competitive fixture. He retired from football the following month after playing making 157 senior appearances for West Bromwich Albion. He subsequently became a publican and also worked in the upholstery trade. He died in West Bromwich in July 1952.

Police paddock is an Australian term for a plot of suburban land that has or has historically been set aside for police horses. Before the universal adoption of the motor car, police rode horses that were stabled and reared on paddocks that were adjacent to or near to police stations.

Mounted police units still exist and are frequently used for crowd control at public demonstrations. Many of the old police paddocks still bear the name "police paddock." Usage of the term is found in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.

Police paddocks were an obvious place to play sports, and many suburban sports were played on police paddocks. Since the widespread use of horses has been abandoned, the paddocks have become redundant, and many have been turned into sports stadiums or parks. The Melbourne Cricket Ground was formerly a police paddock.

Waldeck-Rousseau was an armored cruiser built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. She was the second and final member of the , the last class of armored cruiser to be built by the French Navy. She was laid down at the Arsenal de Lorient in June 1906, launched in March 1908, and commissioned in August 1911. Armed with a main battery of fourteen  guns, she was more powerful than most other armored cruisers, but she had entered service more than two years after the first battlecruiser——had rendered the armored cruiser obsolescent. Waldeck-Rousseau nevertheless proved to be a workhorse of the French Mediterranean Fleet.

After the outbreak of World War I, Waldeck-Rousseau joined the main French fleet that blockaded the southern end of the Adriatic to prevent the Austro-Hungarian Navy from operating in the Mediterranean. In October and November, Waldeck-Rousseau was twice attacked by Austro-Hungarian U-boats but she escaped unscathed in both engagements. She thereafter alternated between stints in the southern Adriatic and patrols in the eastern Mediterranean once the Ottoman Empire joined the war in November.

After the war, the British and French intervened in the Russian Civil War; this included a major naval deployment to the Baltic Sea, which included Waldeck-Rousseau. Shortly after arriving, her crew mutinied due to poor living conditions and a desire to return to France. The unrest was quickly suppressed, and Waldeck-Rousseau joined the effort to support the Whites against the Red Bolsheviks. In May 1929, the ship was sent to French Indochina to serve as the flagship of the Far East squadron. She remained there until May 1932, when she returned to France, where she was decommissioned and hulked. Waldeck-Rousseau was ultimately scrapped in 1941–44.

Description

The Edgar Quinet class were designed initially as sister ships of the preceding cruiser , but instead of the mixed battery of  and  guns, the two ships were altered to carry a uniform battery of 194 mm weapons. Other minor changes were introduced during the design process, including some features of the latest French pre-dreadnought battleships, including a straight stem. The two Edgar Quinet-class cruisers proved to be the last major warship of the French fleet to rely on reciprocating machinery for their propulsion systems.

Waldeck-Rousseau was  long overall, with a beam of  and a draft of . She displaced . Her power plant consisted of three triple-expansion engines powered by forty coal-fired Niclausse boilers, which were trunked into six funnels in two groups of three. Her engines were rated at  and produced a top speed of . She had a crew of between 859 and 892 officers and enlisted men.

Waldeck-Rousseau was armed with a main battery of fourteen  50-caliber M1902 guns; four were in twin gun turrets forward and aft, with three single gun turrets on either broadside. The last four guns were mounted in casemates abreast the main and aft conning towers. Close-range defense against torpedo boats was provided by a battery of twenty  guns in casemates in the ship's hull. She was also equipped with two  torpedo tubes submerged in the hull. She was protected with an armored belt that was  thick amidships. The gun turrets had  thick plating, while the casemates had marginally thinner protection, at 194 mm. The main conning tower had 200 mm thick sides.

During World War I, several 14-pounder and 9-pounder anti-aircraft guns were added, with the older 9-pounder guns being removed to keep displacement down. In 1930, she was modified to carry a reconnaissance seaplane.

Service history

Waldeck-Rousseau, named for the recently deceased Prime Minister of France, Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau, was ordered on 31 July 1905 and was laid down at the Arsenal de Lorient on 16 June 1906. She was launched on 4 March 1908, and fitting out work was completed in time to begin sea trials in January 1911. While on her acceptance trials on 2 February, she struck a submerged object that bent her port propeller shaft and damaged the screw. Waldeck-Rousseau was completed in August; the ship was the most powerful armored cruiser completed by France, but she entered service two years after the British battlecruiser , which rendered the armored cruiser obsolescent as a warship type. Her lengthy construction interfered with the scheduled keel-laying for the new predreadnought battleship Mirabeau, which could not be started until Waldeck-Rousseau was launched. After entering service the new cruiser was assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet, based in Toulon. In April 1912, she was assigned to the 1st Light Squadron, along with her sister ship  and the armored cruiser Ernest Renan.

World War I
At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Waldeck-Rousseau was under repair at Toulon owing to a grounding incident off Golfe-Juan during a hurricane on 22 February. Work was completed by 5 September, and by the end of the month she had joined the French fleet blockading the Austro-Hungarian Navy at the southern end of the Adriatic Sea. On 17 October she briefly engaged Austro-Hungarian forces off Cattaro; she fired at the Austro-Hungarian U-boat SM U-4 that had tried to torpedo her and engaged several destroyers that were supported by an airplane before she broke off the action to rejoin the French fleet. She was unsuccessfully attacked a second time by an Austro-Hungarian U-boat while on patrol on 4 November. On this occasion, she was patrolling with the cruiser Ernest Renan; Waldeck-Rousseau engaged the submarine and forced it to withdraw.

On 30 November, the cruiser was transferred to the Ionian Sea and was based in Salonika. While there, Waldeck-Rousseau patrolled the eastern Mediterranean and the coast of the Levant. She returned to Malta on 13 December, where she resumed patrols in the southern Adriatic. In early March 1915 Waldeck-Rousseau returned to the Ionian. From 25 April to 1 May she briefly patrolled in the Strait of Otranto at the southern end of the Adriatic, before returning to her station in the Ionian.

By the beginning of 1916, the fleet's modern armored cruisers had been organized into two units, the 1st and 2nd Light Divisions; Waldeck-Rousseau served in the former, which also included Edgar Quinet and Ernest Renan. Both divisions supported the main French battle fleet.  On 8 January 1916, Waldeck-Rousseau, her sister Edgar Quinet, Ernest Renan and  embarked a contingent of Chasseurs Alpins (mountain troops) to seize the Greek island of Corfu. The cruisers sent the troops ashore on the night of 10 January; the Greek officials on the island protested the move but offered no resistance. For the rest of the war, she patrolled in the Ionian and eastern Mediterranean but did not see further action.

Black Sea operations, 1919–1920
Starting in 1919, the French Navy joined the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War in the Black Sea to support the Whites against the Red Bolsheviks. Waldeck-Rousseau arrived in early 1919, flying the flag of Admiral Caubet. While in Odessa on 26–29 April 1919, sailors aboard Waldeck-Rousseau mutinied; the ship, which had just arrived from France with a fresh crew, had not yet had contact with Russian revolutionaries. Nevertheless, the crew had quickly grown weary of poor living conditions and wanted to return to France. After three days, the unrest was suppressed and she returned to service, though Caubet was relieved of command for failing to control his crew. The Vietnamese communist Tôn Đức Thắng, who was at that time serving in the French Navy, claimed to have participated in the mutiny, but French records do not list him as having been aboard Waldeck-Rousseau at the time. At the same time, the crews of other French ships in Constantinople became restive, and so Admiral Jean-Françoise-Charles Amet refused to allow Waldeck-Rousseau to join the rest of the fleet there, owing to her crew's earlier mutiny.

On 26 March 1920, Waldeck-Rousseau provided gunfire support to the evacuating White Russian forces outside Novorossiysk, along with the British dreadnought battleship . The Anglo-French fleet then evacuated the White Russians from the city to the Crimean peninsula. Later in the year, she assisted in the evacuation of General Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel's army. The motley collection of ships departed the Crimea on 14 November; Waldeck-Rousseau steamed at the rear of the fleet as it made its way to Constantinople.

Waldeck-Rousseau remained in the Black Sea while the fleet continued on into the Mediterranean and eventually to internment at Bizerte in Algeria. On 16 December 1922, the French transport  caught fire while in the Sea of Marmara. The United States destroyer  arrived on the scene first and took off the survivors, which numbered 482 of the 495 crew and passengers that had been aboard. Waldeck-Rousseau arrived shortly thereafter, and the survivors were transferred to the larger cruiser, since she could better accommodate them. For his part in the rescue operations, the commander of Bainbridge—Lieutenant Commander Walter Edwards—was awarded the Medal of Honor, the French Legion of Honour, and the British Distinguished Service Order.

Fate
In September 1923, Waldeck-Rousseau was reduced to the reserve fleet, based in Toulon. She remained out of service until April 1929, when she was recommissioned for a tour in East Asian waters. She left France on 10 May and arrived on 22 June, where she replaced the cruiser  as the flagship of the French Far East Squadron. Waldeck-Rousseau served there until May 1932, when she departed for France, having been replaced by the light cruiser . Waldeck-Rousseau reached France on 3 July. After returning to France, she was decommissioned and placed in reserve.

On 14 June 1936, she was stricken and subsequently converted into a hulk at Landévennec, outside Brest. She remained in the Navy's inventory at the start of World War II in September 1939. In May–June 1940, during the Battle of France, she was towed from Landévennec to a position about half a mile from the main breakwater that sheltered Brest. After the Germans defeated France and occupied Brest, they prevented the French from returning aboard Waldeck-Rousseau; the vessel was slowly taking on water, and without the ability of the crew to operate her pumps, she eventually foundered on 8 August. She was later broken up for scrap in situ between 1941 and 1944, though some parts of the ship remain on the sea floor. During this period, in early 1942, the Germans raised the wreck and disguised Waldeck-Rousseau as the heavy cruiser  as a decoy before they launched Operation Cerberus.

Forte Design Systems, Inc. was a San Jose, CA, based provider of high-level synthesis (HLS) software products, also known as electronic system-level (ESL) synthesis. Forte's main product was Cynthesizer. On February 14, 2014, Forte was acquired by Cadence Design Systems.

History
The company was founded in 1998 as C2 Design Automation by John Sanguinetti, Andy Goodrich and Randy Allen. A year later the company changed its name to CynApps and began selling C-based synthesis and RTL translation tools. It also distributed an open-source C++ class library called Cynlib, which competed with SystemC. In 2000, CynApps acquired Dasys, a Pittsburgh-based maker of behavioral synthesis tools.  In 2001, CynApps merged with Chronology (founded in Redmond, WA, in 1990) to become Forte Design Systems. Forte began selling Cynthesizer, a SystemC-based HLS tool, which had its first successful tapeout in Japan in 2001.  In 2009, Forte acquired Arithmatica, whose CellMath Designer tool was integrated into Cynthesizer.  In 2012 and 2013, industry analysts found that Cynthesizer was used by 31% of high-level designers, the most of any ESL tool.

On February 14, 2014, Cadence Design Systems acquired Forte.  In 2015, Cadence released Stratus HLS, which combines the automation and synthesis engine of Cynthesizer with the graphical features of Cadence's previous HLS tool, C-to-Silicon.

Product
Cynthesizer is a high-level synthesis tool.  "High level" in this context means designers can describe the functionality of a complex electronic system as a pure algorithm in SystemC.  The designer can then direct Cynthesizer to produce a unique hardware architecture that implements the system in a specific number of clock cycles.  This replaces the traditional method of using a hardware description language like Verilog or VHDL, where the designer must manually write out the usage of hardware components in a fixed schedule of clock cycles.  If designers want hardware with different performance, they can redirect Cynthesizer to produce a new architecture that is faster or smaller, whereas with the traditional method a completely new design must be written.  The output of Cynthesizer is Verilog, which is then run automatically through a logic synthesis tool.

Lamming Mills is a railway point and former unincorporated community located on the Canadian National Railway line just northwest of McBride, British Columbia in the Cariboo Land District. It stands near a bend of the upper Fraser River and is connected by road to the Highway 16 section of the Yellowhead Highway. It was one of the oldest settlements in the Robson Valley.

The site was originally established circa 1915 as the Mile 5.4 Cariboo Siding of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. It was relocated two miles northwest around 1920 to service a pole yard, and
renamed "Craibenn Station" after railway section foreman D.A. Craig and yard owner J. Bennett.

In 1943, brothers and sawmill owners Oscar and Ernie Lamming came to the McBride area and established a portable sawmill at the siding. By 1945 a small town had developed, occupied by the mill workers and their families, and a post office opened in April of that year which was known as the "Lamming Mills Post Office". The portable mill was replaced by a more permanent structure in 1946, and on 12 June 1946 the Canadian National Railway renamed the station to "Lamming Mills", with the name being adopted by the settlement.

By the 1950s the town had a population of approximately 250 people living in 60 homes, with a church, school, community hall and general store also having been established. It declined over the next decade, however, with the mill closing in 1966 and most residents leaving following the closure of the post office on 31 December 1969.

By 2011 the town consisted of 52 buildings. In March of that year it was purchased by the Seattle-based company "ecoTECH Energy Group" for $257,075. It stated that it planned to build a biomass power plant and aquaponics facility on the site, and the remaining tenants were given until June 10, 2011 to move out. On June 12, 2011, by which time only two homes remained occupied, a fire started in the town, destroying 21 empty properties. The McBride & District Volunteer Fire Department was able to save the remainder of the structures, including the occupied homes, and there were no casualties. The RCMP stated at the time that they were treating the fire as arson. In September 2012, with development work at the site yet to commence, ecoTECH put the Lamming Mills site up for sale.

Spectatoring is a process suggested by Masters and Johnson (1970) that involves a person focusing on him or herself "from a third person perspective during sexual activity, rather than focusing on one's sensations and sexual partner, can increase performance fears and cause deleterious effects on sexual performance."
To help individuals with spectatoring, some therapeutic interventions focus on redirecting the focus of attention from oneself to one's partner, while others such as sensate focus, involve focusing on and enjoying one's own sensations of being pleasured.

NCAA March Madness 2004 is the 2003 installment in the NCAA March Madness series.  Former Syracuse player Carmelo Anthony is featured on the cover. Commentary is done by Brad Nessler and "Mr. College Basketball" Dick Vitale as he is introduced in the game. This is the first entry in which players can pick their favorite schools. The menus are then stylized in the school's colors, and a cheerleader or mascot can appear on the main menu the school's fight song plays. The game plays similarly to NBA Live 2004.

Features
The game allows the player to pick their favorite school and run a college basketball dynasty for 30 seasons and attempt to lead them to national championships. The player can play as a prestigious school or a school of lower prestige in an attempt to bring them into the national spotlight. The game allows the player to create their own school, but with limited options. The game features all of the major tournaments including the NCAA Tournament and Maui Invitational and a Frat Party Mode which is a four team tournament for four players. Other modes include mascot game, where the player can play as a school's mascot, as well as Dickie V integration where Dick Vitale offers his take on the features of the game and gives gamers hints in Dynasty Mode on recruiting. The player can also import their draft class to NBA Live 2004. However, the players are given fictional names after they are imported.

Player Names
Players are not given names in the game because of rights of the NCAA to its players, as including names would have required the NCAA to pay the players. Players can still give the players names, and some players are recognizable, such as 2004 NBA draft prospects Josh Childress (Stanford), Ben Gordon, and Emeka Okafor (Connecticut).

Extras
Extras in the game feature the cameos of NBA rookies Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Kirk Hinrich and rowdy college fans and NCAA head coaches saying "EA Sports, It's In The Game". For added realism, NCAA head basketball coaches offer defensive and offensive strategies.

Controls
The game is the first in the series to feature freestyle moves and separate buttons for dunks and layups and the ability to perform an alley-oop. Also the player can make decisions in mid-air and make adjusted shots.

Reception

The game received "favorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

NCAA March Madness 07 is the 2006 installment in the NCAA March Madness series. Former Gonzaga player Adam Morrison is featured on the cover.

Features
Using a new dynamic crowd environment, the game features a noticeable difference between high-energy schools such as Kentucky, Indiana, Duke, or North Carolina as opposed to smaller, more subdued crowds for less schools with less popular basketball programs. Having a winning program will unlock a pep band, a student section, and a cheerleading squad to help motivate the players on the floor. The team behind March Madness 2007 has worked to make sure that the location of all 325 school bands and student sections are as authentic as possible.
The ability to upgrade facilities makes it possible to upgrade the player's program's success throughout the game. By completing challenges throughout the season, such as winning the home-opener or signing high-profile recruits lets players upgrade the facilities of your program, including a practice gym, a weight room, a study hall, and an injury clinic. With better facilities, players are more likely to land that prized recruit.
The ability to interact with the crowd, opponents and teammates allows the player to raise the intensity of the arena by performing well. Inversely, performing poorly will lower the intensity making it difficult to make a comeback. Intensity points earned can be used to interact with the mascot, the cheerleaders, the pep band, or the crowd.

Reception

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

The A.V. Club gave it a B and called it "Sweet Sixteen gameplay with a Final Four atmosphere." Detroit Free Press gave the Xbox 360 version three stars out of four, stating, "From a strong matchmaking system to a deep dynasty mode that largely mirrors EA's NCAA football game, March Madness does a good job bringing the energy of college hoops home." However, 411Mania gave the PS2 version six out of ten, calling it "a mediocre game that has some good gameplay elements mixed in with some fun modes. However, it has numerous problems that might lead some astray."

The Catholic Miscellany, successor to the U.S. Catholic Miscellany, the first Catholic newspaper in the United States, is the official newspaper of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston. It was founded by Bishop John England, the first bishop of Charleston in 1822. He had been assigned to the area the previous year.

U.S. Catholic Miscellany
Bishop England wrote in defense of his faith and about Irish immigrants since he had been assigned to the Diocese of Charleston in 1821. He had to buy advertisement space in either the Charleston Mercury or the Charleston Courier to answer nativist attacks. Nativism was a movement prominent in those days that sought to restrict political rights of foreign-born citizens.

Irish Catholics were a prime target in the south. The need England perceived for a Catholic communications forum in the New World prompted the activist prelate to start up the United States Catholic Miscellany on June 5, 1822.
To market the premiere issue, England laid out a prospectus which was often repeated over the years and which was mailed to friends and potential investors: "Amongst the various wants of the Catholics of these states I do not know of a greater temporal (one) than a weekly paper, the principal scope of which will fair and simple statements of Catholic doctrine from authentic documents, plain and inoffensively exhibited, refutation of calumnies, examination and illustration of misrepresented facts of history, biographies of eminent ecclesiastics and others connected with the Church, reviews of books for and against Catholicity, events connected with religion in all parts of the world, etc."

The new Catholic paper was originally in a magazine format, 6×9 inches, that evolved into an eight-page tabloid-sized paper similar to the current one. No photographs were published in the U.S. Catholic Miscellany. The original circulation was 600 and peaked at 1,030; less than half of the subscribers actually paid the $4 annual subscription rate, according to an article published by the American Catholic Historical Society (the document housed in the diocesan archives bears no citation as to date or authorship). Finances were a continual problem for the newspaper.

Bishop England wrote most of the articles, signing them either "+John, Bishop of Charleston" or using a nom de plume such as "Curiosity" when the piece was not official church teaching. The bishop's work was editorialized throughout the paper. Some of his explanatory articles ran for as many as 20 installments.
Towards the end of England's episcopate, editors and writers had assumed many of the writing duties. When the bishop died in 1842, The Miscellany reported under the headline "Death of the Bishop": "Our beloved Bishop is no more! After a long and distressing illness, he expired last Monday morning at ten minutes past 5 o'clock, in the 56th year of his age, and 22nd of his Episcopate.

We cannot give expression to the feelings of our heart, overwhelmed with grief at this irreparable calamity."
By then there were 1,500,000 Catholics in the nation and other Catholic publications had started. Bishop Ignatius A. Reynolds continued the United States Catholic Miscellany as a regional newspaper when he was appointed bishop of the Diocese of Charleston in 1844.

His editor was Father Patrick N. Lynch, who was destined to succeed him as bishop in 1858.
Soon after Lynch was installed, South Carolina seceded from the Union in 1860 and The Miscellany changed its name to reflect its secessionist viewpoint. The banner of the December 29 edition appeared as Catholic Miscellany. Starting with the first issue of 1861, the paper was called Charleston Catholic Miscellany.

The American Catholic Historical Society credited the title change to the paper's smaller range, noting that Georgia had become its own diocese in 1850, but the editor, Father James Corcoran, wrote that he could no longer tolerate "those two obnoxious words (i.e.: United States), which being henceforth without truth of meaning would ill become the title of the paper."

On December 11, 1861, a fire swept across the peninsula of Charleston, destroying the Cathedral of Saint John and Saint Finbar, the editorial offices of the paper and its press, along with many other buildings. The Miscellany ceased publication.
Following the Civil War, Lynch tried to revive the Catholic paper, but funds to support it were not available in postwar South Carolina.

Revival
Ninety years after The Miscellany was discontinued, The Catholic Banner appeared in 1951. The Banner was published as a section of Our Sunday Visitor, a nationally distributed Catholic weekly newspaper. In 1960, The Banner became part of a three-diocese consortium, designed and published in Waynesboro, Georgia, with some local articles and photographs accompanying national and international copy from a wire service, the Catholic News Service. The editorial offices of The Banner were located in Columbia.
In 1990, Bishop David B. Thompson returned the diocesan newspaper to its historic roots, renaming it The New Catholic Miscellany and moving it to Charleston.

In March 1995, The Miscellany staff began producing the paper in-house and printing it locally. That same year, the paper won its first national award for excellence. Thompson was presented with the Bishop John England Award by the Catholic Press Association, a group of hundreds of magazines, newspapers and newsletters. Named after the founder of the Catholic press in America and Thompson's predecessor, the award is "for outstanding performance as a publisher". It was presented exactly two weeks before the 175th anniversary of paper. In 2002, the word New was dropped from the nameplate and the paper became The Catholic Miscellany.
