was a Japanese female idol group, and a subgroup of Japanese female idol group AKB48. Under Pony Canyon, the group debuted in January 2009 with the double A-side single "Hatsukoi Dash/Aoi Mirai."

History
In October 2008, Yasushi Akimoto announced that he was going to revive the 1980s girl group Ushirogami Hikaretai, using four members of AKB48 and was renaming the group to Watarirouka Hashiritai. The group debuted under Pony Canyon releasing a double A-side single, "Hatsukoi Dash/Aoi Mirai" in January 2009. The single entered the Oricon single chart at number ten. In April the group released their second single, "Yaruki Hanabi" which charted at number nine.

In November 2009, the group released their third single "Kanpeki Gū no ne" which was used as the ending theme song for the anime version of the manga Fairy Tail.  This single had more success than the other two singles, as it sold over 23,200 copies in its first week and charted at number seven. In February 2010, Ayaka Kikuchi joined the group changing the roster from four members to five.

Their first single in 2010, "AkKanbe Bashi," reached number 1 on Oricon charts.

On June 30, 2010, two members from AKB48, Misaki Iwasa and Mika Komori, were added to Watarirouka Hashiritai to form "Watarirouka Hashiritai7", but the name applied to their "radio-only" activities, as two singles released on and after June 30 were under the name of "Watarirouka Hashiritai", not as "7" since the two newcomers were not included. They eventually debuted as "7" with a single "Valentine Kiss", a cover version of Sayuri Kokushō's single, originally written by Yasushi Akimoto and released 25 years earlier.

In 2011 Natsumi Hirajima announced on the group's official blog that a new single would be released by "Watarirouka Hashiritai 7" on August 3 of that year. Kikuchi Ayaka revealed on July 4, 2011 that the title of the song would be "Hetappi Wink". Both Natsumi Hirajima and Kikuchi Ayaka described it as "a summer-ish, energetic and bright song". This was the second time a single was released with the "7" in the group's name.

On June 25, 2012, Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 took part in Yubi Matsuri, an idol festival produced by Rino Sashihara from AKB48. The concert was held at Nippon Budokan before a crowd of 8,000 people and featured such girl groups as Idoling!!!, Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, Super Girls, Tokyo Girls' Style, Nogizaka46, Passpo, Buono!, and Momoiro Clover Z.

On August 24, 2012, during the AKB48 in TOKYO DOME ~1830m no Yume~ concert tour members Aika Ota and Haruka Nakagawa were transferred to HKT48 and JKT48 respectively.

On November 13, 2013, it was revealed that the group will disband on Christmas and at the same time, release a best-of album.

On February 9, 2014, their final concert was held at ZeppDiver City, Tokyo.

Notes

History and conference affiliations

Mercer was a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) from 1906 to 1911 and from 1919 to 1937; the university won the conference championship in basketball in 1922 and 1924. Prior to 1924, the sports teams were known as the 'Baptists' rather than the Bears. Without leaving the SIAA, which focused mostly on basketball and track, Mercer was a charter member of the Dixie Conference in 1930; the university played football in the new conference from 1930 to 1942 and won the conference championship in 1932.  Mercer suspended athletics in 1942 during World War II, but rejoined the Dixie Conference from 1948 to 1954 in all sports (except football, Mercer did not revive the sport after the war). The university won the Dixie Conference tournament championship in basketball in 1951, 1952 and 1954; Mercer won the regular season championship in 1950, 1952 and 1953.

Mercer began competition in women's basketball in 1970; the team won the Southern Women's Athletic Conference championship in 1972. The university, competing in the Georgia Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, won the conference championship in 1974, 1976, 1979, 1980 (tournament and regular season) and 1982 (regular season). In 1985, Mercer advanced to the NCAA Division II Final Four; the team was defeated (82–79) by Central Missouri State University. Mercer was a charter member of the New South Women's Athletic Conference in 1985–86 and won the conference championship in 1991; the conference merged with the Trans America Athletic Conference (TAAC; now known as the ASUN Conference) the same year.

Mercer became a charter member of the TAAC in 1978 and was the only charter member remaining with the conference before moving to the Southern Conference. The men's basketball team won the conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Division I tournament in 1981; the team was defeated (73–67) by the University of Arkansas. Mercer won the conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Division I tournament again in 1985; the team was defeated (65–58) by Georgia Tech.

Mercer discontinued football in 1942.  The sport was reinstated in 2013; Mercer competed in the non-scholarship Pioneer Football League for the 2013 season.

Mercer joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2014; the university accepted an invitation on May 30, 2013, and joined alongside East Tennessee State University and Virginia Military Institute.  Mercer shifted from non-scholarship to scholarship football when it joined the conference.

Championships
Mercer joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2014. The university was previously a member of the ASUN Conference (then known as the Atlantic Sun Conference); Mercer won 21 ASUN championships (12 tournament and nine regular season) including four in the spring of 2014. Mercer won four championships in its first year in the SoCon (two tournament and two regular season).

The championship capped the best season in university history; the team finished the season with a 27–11 record.

Athletics director
Jim Cole, a Mercer graduate and a former minor league, professional baseball player in the Milwaukee Brewers system, is Mercer's athletics director.  Cole, a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives, served as Governor Sonny Perdue's floor leader in the House and was selected to become Georgia Secretary of State in December 2009.  He declined the appointment to become athletics director. Since becoming athletics director, Cole has overseen the addition of men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, and sand volleyball; the reinstatement of football; and the construction of Mercer's football and lacrosse complex.

Cole replaced Bobby Pope who retired on June 30, 2010 after 21 years as athletics director.  Pope was affiliated with Mercer for 40 years starting in 1970 as a radio announcer, and in 1980 became sports information director.  He became athletics director in 1989 and oversaw construction of the University Center and renovation of the baseball, softball, and tennis facilities.  Pope was inducted into Mercer's Hall of Fame in 2010.

In 2013, Mercer competed as an NCAA Division I FCS non-scholarship program in the Pioneer Football League; in 2014, Mercer began competing as a scholarship program in the Southern Conference.  Reinstatement came after a 70-year hiatus; the university suspended football during World War II and did not revive it.  The final game was in 1941.

The modern Mercer football program played its first game on August 31, 2013; the team defeated Reinhardt University before an overflow crowd (12,172 spectators) at the Tony and Nancy Moye Football and Lacrosse Complex.  Mercer finished the 2013 season undefeated at home with a 10–2 win–loss record (the two road losses were to the University of San Diego and Marist College), setting an NCAA Division I record for wins (10) by a start-up football program; Mercer had eight home wins..However, four of Mercer wins were from competing against teams in lower division levels of competition (3-NAIA schools and 1-Division III school)
 also an NCAA Division I record tied the same year (2013) by Auburn University, the FBS national runner-up, and Sam Houston State University who achieved its eighth victory in the FCS post-season.
Mercer won its first game in the Southern Conference on September 27, 2014; the team defeated Virginia Military Institute on the road in Lexington, Virginia.  Mercer finished its first season in the SoCon, and its second season since reinstatement, placing in last place in the SoCon, with an overall 6–6 win–loss record (1–5 in the conference) .

History

The reinstatement of football revives a storied university program.  Mercer and the University of Georgia competed in the first football game in Georgia; UGA won 50–0 on January 15, 1892.  Later the same year, Mercer played Georgia Tech in Tech's first football game; Mercer won 12–6 on November 5, 1892.  Mercer football alumni include Wally Butts, one of the greatest personalities in Georgia sports history.  After his playing days at Mercer, Butts served as the head coach at UGA from 1939 to 1960 and as the school's athletic director from 1939 to 1963; he is a member of the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame.  Other notable alumni are Joseph "Phoney" Smith and Bill Yoast.  Smith was an All-American halfback and is Mercer's all-time leading scorer; he scored 176 points and later played for the semi-professional Ironton Tanks. Yoast is the high school coach made famous in the movie Remember the Titans.

Bobby Lamb – Head Coach

On January 20, 2011, Mercer announced the hiring of Bobby Lamb as its new head football coach. Lamb compiled a record of 67–40 in nine seasons as the head coach at Furman University from 2002 to 2010.  He played quarterback at Furman from 1982 to 1985 and was the Southern Conference player of the year in 1985.  Lamb was an assistant coach at Furman from 1986 until he became head coach in 2002.  He resigned from Furman after compiling a record of 5–6 for the 2010 season, his only losing season in nine years.  Lamb is a Georgia native; he was born in Augusta and graduated from high school in Commerce.  Lamb's record in his first two seasons at Mercer was 16–6.

Men's basketball

Bob Hoffman – Head Coach

Bob Hoffman was named men's basketball head coach in 2008.  Prior to Mercer, Hoffman was head coach at Oklahoma Baptist and Texas-Pan American, as well as the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, an NBA D-League team.  Hoffman's overall record as a head coach at the collegiate level is 499–243 (as of the end of the 2012–13 season) including 99 wins at Mercer during his first five seasons (2008–13).  His Mercer wins include victories over Alabama (twice), Auburn, Duke, Georgia Tech, Florida State (then the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champion), and Tennessee.

History

Hoffman replaced Mark Slonaker who served as head coach for ten seasons and was the 2002–03 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year.  Slonaker received that award after leading Mercer to the best one season turnaround in NCAA history, improving from 6–23 to 23–6.  The team won the Atlantic Sun regular season championship with a 14–2 conference record and made school history for number of wins (23); Mercer won 22 games in 1923–24 and 1984–85.  The season ended with a loss in the Atlantic Sun tournament.  Slonaker was the first National Coach of the Year to receive the award after it was named in honor of Jim Phelan.  The four other finalists were Lute Olson (Arizona), Skip Prosser (Wake Forest), Bo Ryan (Wisconsin), and Tubby Smith (Kentucky).  Mercer did not maintain this level of success, which prompted the university to hire a new head coach.

Mercer's basketball alumni include Sam Mitchell, a retired NBA player who became head coach of the Toronto Raptors.  Mitchell was drafted with the seventh pick of the third round (54th overall) by the Houston Rockets in the 1985 NBA draft.  He scored nearly 2,000 points at Mercer, the leading scorer in team history, and led Mercer to the 1985 Trans-America Athletic Conference regular season and tournament championships.  More recent alumni include Will Emerson, a forward on the men's basketball team, who was the 2004–05 and 2005–06 Atlantic Sun Conference Male Student Athlete of the Year, only the third person to be selected twice for the award.  Emerson was also named to ESPN the Magazine's Academic All-American first team in 2005 and 2006.

Mercer received national attention in November 2007 when the team defeated USC, which was ranked 18th in the nation at the time of the game.

In 2010 under head coach Craig Gibson, Mercer won the conference tournament championship for the first time since 1983.  Mercer, with a 37–22 record, advanced to the NCAA Division I Atlanta Regional where the team defeated Elon University, but lost to Georgia Tech and the University of Alabama.  The team finished the season with a 38–24 record, one of the most successful in university history.

In 2013, Mercer won the conference regular season championship and advanced to the NCAA Division I Starkville Regional losing to the University of South Alabama and the University of Central Arkansas.  The team finished the season with a 43–18 record, the best in university history.  With the conclusion of the 2013 NCAA Baseball College World Series, Mercer finished the season as the top fielding (.982 percentage) team in the nation out of all 296 eligible Division I teams; Mercer edged out the University of Nebraska, the University of California, Irvine and the University of Oregon.  In addition, junior outfielder Derrick Workman was named a first team Capital One Academic All-American, one of only eleven players in nation selected for this honor.

Lacrosse

History
Mercer added men's lacrosse during the 2010–11 academic year (2011 season); women's lacrosse was added for 2014–15 (2015 season).  The programs are the first in Georgia at the NCAA Division I level.  The men's team won its first victory on March 19, 2011 against Carthage College.

Recent achievements

The ASUN Conference (then the Atlantic Sun Conference) began sponsoring men's lacrosse in 2014; on February 22, 2014, Mercer won the conference opener, defeating Richmond.  Mercer went on to win the conference regular season championship (co-champion with High Point); the Bears were defeated in the opening round of the conference tournament.  Mercer joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2014; on the same day, the Southern Conference took over sponsorship of men's lacrosse from the Atlantic Sun Conference.

The SoCon dropped men's lacrosse after the 2022 season due to conference realignment, and Mercer returned men's lacrosse to the ASUN (which had reinstated men's lacrosse in the 2022 season).

Facilities

Mercer opened the University Center (also known as Hawkins Arena) on the Macon campus in 2004.  The $40 million  center houses Mercer's athletics department, a 3,500-seat basketball arena, an indoor pool, work-out facilities, intramural basketball courts, an air-rifle range, offices, a food court, and numerous meeting facilities.  Mercer's Claude Smith Field (baseball), Sikes Field (softball), and intramural fields are next to the center along with the university's tennis complex.  Bear Field, the home of men's and women's soccer, is located on the eastern edge of campus between the School of Medicine and the university's newest intramural fields.  In 2007, a 101-room Hilton Garden Inn opened on university-owned land adjacent to the University Center.

The University Center arena was named Hawkins Arena in April 2012.  The naming honors J. B. Hawkins, former high school athletic director and basketball coach in Crawford County.

In November 2011, the university began construction of the 10,200-seat Tony and Nancy Moye Football and Lacrosse Complex on the Macon campus.  The new facility, adjacent to Hawkins Arena and Mercer's other athletic facilities, has the following components:  the Homer and Ruth Drake Field House, the William H. Anderson II Family Field, the Marshall and Jane Butler Family Plaza, and the Tony and Nancy Moye Family Football and Lacrosse Complex.  Construction was completed in 2013; the Field Turf surface was completed in July 2012, the Drake Field House opened in November 2012.

Mercer's athletic facilities are located next to Interstate 75.  Large parking lots are available for visitors-spectators arriving via the Mercer University Drive exit.

Intimacy Remixed is the remix album to Intimacy, the third album by indie rock band Bloc Party. It was released on 11 May 2009 in the United Kingdom through Wichita Recordings, the band's primary label, in limited edition CD and triple LP formats to coincide with Bloc Party's worldwide touring schedule. The record entered the UK Album Chart at number 79. In the United States, it achieved a peak of number 15 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart.

The band members gave each of the original tracks, including those on the deluxe edition of Intimacy, to a number of musicians from different genres; Mogwai, Filthy Dukes, and No Age were amongst those who reworked the songs. "Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix)" was released as a single and a music video was also made for "Ares (Villains Remix)". Critics often considered the record as a poor showcase for electronic music, although a minority of reviewers commented that it was a forward-thinking piece of work.

Release
Intimacy Remixed is the second remix album of Bloc Party's work following Silent Alarm Remixed, the remix album to debut full-length release Silent Alarm. Details of the record and its track listing were confirmed on 16 March 2009 after the band's European tour in support of Intimacy. Several dance acts, DJs, and alternative music groups were asked to rework tracks. Mogwai, whose debut album Mogwai Young Team is frontman Kele Okereke's musical "Year Zero", were drafted in to remix "Biko". "Talons (Phones R.I.P Remix)" is Intimacy co-producer Paul Epworth's last song remix under the "Phones" name. Pitchfork Media's reaction to the release news was mixed; Tom Breihan indicated that the concept could be successful, but noted that the idea of remix albums in rock music has become stagnant.

Bloc Party spent much of March and April 2009 touring in the US and Canada in support of Intimacy Remixed. The band members invited fans attending their one-off London Olympia concerts on 11–12 April to film the performances on their mobiles and send the recordings to the band online. A music video for "Ares (Villains Remix)" was created by collating the resulting footage and was webcast. "Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix)" was released as a promotional single on 27 April 2009. Intimacy Remixed was released in Europe on 11 May 2009. The album was distributed in the rest of the world on 26–27 May but no physical copies were released on US record labels. The cover art is a negative of the close-up of a couple kissing by freelance photographer Perry Curties used on Intimacy.

Critical reception

Media response to Intimacy Remixed was generally negative: AnyDecentMusic? sums up critical consensus as a 2.9 out of 10, based on five reviews, making it one of the lowest-rated albums on the site. Emily Tartanella of PopMatters explained that the remixers' efforts ultimately make Bloc Party's work "less engaging, less meaningful". Ben Patashnik of NME stated that the album is largely monotonous and includes too many pedestrian experiments in dance music. Drowned in Sound's Chris Power indicated that "in putting their names to the album Bloc Party seem to be saying they either don't care about what they ask fans to spend their money on or they don't know much about electronic music".

BBC's Lou Thomas was more receptive and commented that Intimacy Remixed is unprecedented in its field and entirely better than Intimacy. James Hendicott of State.ie described the album as "something special" that should appeal to both Bloc Party fans and dance music lovers due to its "highly listenable, subtly energetic sound". Pitchfork Media's Ian Cohen was largely disappointed with the record and concluded, "Remix albums all but acknowledge their own inessentiality—why not take more chances when only the diehards are going to subject themselves to 60 minutes of someone else's idea of what Intimacy could sound like?"

Composition
Electronic music duo Villains reworked "Ares" by replacing the big beat percussion of the original with electronic drums and synthesisers. The result was compared to the music of French band Justice by Lou Thomas of the BBC. British DJ Hervé's mix of Mercury" removes the horns of the original and instead includes keyboards in an electro house-like composition. We Have Band's version of "Halo" is the only dub song on the Intimacy Remixed and incorporates a modulating synth line on top of cut-up vocals. Alex Hibbert of Rockfeedback noted its "euphoric" percussion. Scottish post-rockers Mogwai infused Bloc Party's blueprint in "Biko" with electronica elements.

"Trojan Horse" was given a drum and bass reworking by English DJ John B, while another U.S. DJ, Armand Van Helden, remixed "Signs" through the inclusion of trance beats and studio effects such as high-pass filters. Synthpop group Filthy Dukes took charge of "One Month Off" and created an electro house version of the track according to Chris Power of Drowned in Sound. Paul Epworth's "Talons (Phones R.I.P Remix)" contains samples from "You Don't Know Nothing About Love" by Carl Hall and the use of a vocoder. "Better Than Heaven" was remixed by American noise pop duo No Age and begins with a rhythmic pattern on the piano. The song features feedback, distorted drumming, and backmasked vocals.

London-based Italian solo act Alessio Andalusia, under his Banjo or Freakout alias, provided the remix for "Ion Square" and created an ambient version of the original. The track infuses Bloc Party's blueprint with keyboards, looped strings, and ethereal vocals. Power concluded, "By taking the percolating synth from the end of the original version and wrapping the sweet ee cummings-borrowed lyric—"I carry your heart here with me"—in a dense cloud of treated, looped guitar, he produces a remix that ... offers an interesting, possibly even superior, reading of its source material." Album closer "Your Visits Are Getting Shorter (Optothetic Remix)" was named as a "generic commercial dance music" song by Lee White of This Is Fake DIY.

Track listing
All songs originally written and composed by Bloc Party and remixed by each credited artist.

 The limited edition UK triple LP version and the Japanese edition include "Your Visits Are Getting Shorter" (Double D Remix) as track 13.

Bonus tracks on the Japanese edition
"Talons" (Acoustic) – 4:32
"Signs" (Acoustic) – 3:24

The Naked and the Dead is a 1958 World War II film directed by Raoul Walsh, and based on the 1948  novel of the same name by Norman Mailer. The screenplay was written by brothers Denis and Terry Sanders, and the film was shot in Panama on Technicolor film.  The movie adds a strip tease and an action scene to the story in the novel. It is one of the last films produced by RKO before the studio's closure. The film was released by Warner Bros. It was the last film that Walsh directed for Warner Bros.

Plot
Lieutenant Hearn is an aide to General Cummings, who treats Hearn as a son and a friend. The general believes that commanding officers should induce fear in their subordinates in order to enforce discipline. Hearn expresses distaste for these views, preferring instead that soldiers should have mutual respect for one another, regardless of rank.

Hearn is transferred to lead an intelligence and reconnaissance platoon on a dangerous mission. The platoon had originally been led by Sergeant Croft, who now must serve under Hearn. Croft is a professional soldier with a reputation for cruelty. Hearn's idealistic approach is contrasted with Croft's desire to win at all costs. When Hearn considers abandoning the mission in the face of formidable Japanese opposition, Croft tricks him into underestimating the enemy. This eventually leads to several deaths in the platoon, and Hearn himself is wounded. Some of the men retreat, carrying Hearn on a stretcher. Croft presses onward with the remaining men. He is killed in action, but his men accomplish their mission, relaying vital intelligence to headquarters. Hearn's men consider leaving him to die, as they can escape faster on their own, but continue carrying him despite the risk.

Upon receiving the platoon's report, a subordinate of Cummings orders an immediate large-scale assault on the Japanese position, scoring a major victory despite Cummings's harsh skepticism. The survivors of the platoon, including Hearn, are able to reach headquarters. Once there, Hearn tells the chastized Cummings that the men who carried him on a stretcher did so out of love, and that the human spirit will always be too strong to be cowed by any terror imposed by other men.

Production
The film was originally to be produced by Paul Gregory and directed by Charles Laughton, and was to be made after The Night of the Hunter. Terry and Dennis Sanders were hired as writers. Stanley Cortez, who had photographed The Night of the Hunter, was intended to be the cinematographer. Press releases announced that Robert Mitchum was to star and that Walter Schumann would compose the score. Following the box-office failure of The Night of the Hunter, Raoul Walsh replaced Laughton and recruited an uncredited writer to rewrite the Sanders Brothers screenplay. Cortez was replaced by Joseph LaShelle.

The Naked and the Dead was filmed on location in Panama with 250 American soldiers as extras. Hawaiian-born soldiers of Japanese descent were cast as Japanese soldiers and local actors from the Canal Zone Theatre Guild appeared in the film.

The film was produced in RKO-Scope, but when it was acquired by Warner Bros., it was billed as a WarnerScope film on release.

Reception
A.H. Weiler of The New York Times wrote: "Credit director, producer Paul Gregory and especially the writing team of Denis and Terry Sanders with laundering the billingsgate of the original and in extracting the derring-do of the author's impassioned work. But in so doing they have simply come up with a surface recounting of a platoon doomed to decimation in securing a small island in the Pacific in 1943. They have quickly limned a general who is a black-and-white militarist, nothing more, and of officers who only appear as quickly passing figures in a kaleidoscope of briefings and small talk."

Plot summary
During an encounter with a Celtic force, a Roman legion is magically transported to another world when the two opposing leaders' swords touch. The Roman force and Celtic leader find themselves in an empire called Videssos. This empire hires them as a mercenary force to help defend their lands from an enemy nation, Yezd. It quickly becomes apparent to the leader of the legionaries, Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, that the Empire is rife with political intrigue. With steadfast loyalty to the Emperor and a certain bull-headedness, Marcus manages to safely navigate the particularly dangerous political landscape and advance the place of himself and his men.

At a party to celebrate the arrival of the Romans held by the Emperor Mavrikios, Marcus, slightly inebriated, slips on the floor and bumps into the emissary of Yezd, Avshar. He tries to apologize, but is rebuffed and a duel results. Marcus wins, but chooses to spare Avshar rather than kill a helpless man. Avshar then sends an assassin after Marcus, but the assassin fails and the Emperor uses this attack as an excuse to declare war upon Yezd.

Avshar leads the enemy army of Yezd nomad warriors against Mavrikios' Videssos soldiers and mercenary forces. When Avshar casts a magic spell at the commander of the left wing, Ortaias Sphrantzes, the entire wing of the army is set into chaos as Ortaias turns his horse and flees at full speed. Only the quick actions of Gaius Philippus,  the sub-commander of the legion and the aid of a clever ally Laon Pakhymer kept them from falling to the nomad forces. Mavrikios, seeing his grand army destroyed, leads a charge of his personal bodyguards directly at Avshar, hoping that he can at least take the life of this one great enemy. He fails and is struck down. His brother Thorisin, leader of the right wing of the army, is forced to flee and Yezd wins the battle.

Both Ortaias and Thorisin declare they are emperor of Videssos after the battle, but Ortaias, with the help of his uncle, controls Videssos the city. Civil war erupts. Eventually, Thorisin emerges victorious as the citizens inside the city turn on Ortaias and open the gates for Thorisin's troops. It is revealed that the leader of the city guards put in place by Ortaias is none other than Avshar in disguise. Avshar manages to escape.

In an attempt to bolster his forces, Thorisin sends emissaries to other countries to recruit more mercenaries for his Empire. Unfortunately, before he can organize any such force, a group of his own mercenaries turn on him and declare the western half of the empire their own. Thorisin sends a force, including the Legionaries, to the west to put down the rebelling mercenaries while he deals with threats to the east. Half the western army turns in favor of the usurpers, and Marcus is forced to take over and do the best that he can to follow Thorisin's orders. He engages in guerrilla tactics that eventually bring down the mercenary usurpers.

As he is bringing the leaders of the rebellion back to Thorisin in Videssos the City, he is betrayed by his wife, who frees her brother and the rest of the prisoners. He returns to Videssos in shame. While suffering through the betrayal of his wife, Marcus begins a relationship with Alypia, Thorisin's niece. When discovered, he is hauled to jail to await his fate. Thorisin sentences him to death, but commutes the sentence provided that Marcus, alone, remove from power a heretic to the west. Marcus agrees on the condition that he can openly pay suit to Alypia. Thorisin agrees and sets Marcus on a boat to his destination.

After successfully defeating the heretic, Marcus flees the city in front of an advancing barbarian army (his own Legion coming to rescue him.) He signs up with a caravan train and ends up going to Mashiz, capitol of Yezd. There he witnesses the overthrow of the King of Yezd by Avshar. Fleeing Avshar, Marcus manages to escape in the company of an army of nomads who have come to seek revenge upon the Yezd. Together they flee to the east to find Thorisin and plan a campaign against Avshar and Yezd.

At the final battle, Avshar kills the Videssian Patriarch and seems on the edge of total victory when Marcus and Viridovix touch their blades to one another again and the released magic transports Avshar to another world, apparently Skotos' hell. These acts lead to Marcus being granted a title, a significant position in the empire and permission to marry Alypia.

Fictional universe
"Videssos" can mean either the Empire of Videssos, or its capital city. The Videssian Empire is very similar to the Byzantine Empire, and much of its history and geography is analogous to Byzantine history. The main differences are the religion, the existence of magic as a usable force, and some details of the history of surrounding states. These states strongly resemble neighbours of Byzantine Empire – for instance, Makuran is Sassanid Persia and Vaspurakan is Armenia (Vaspurakan is in reality a historic Armenian province). The map shown of the known world in the time of the various Videssos stories is a very loose east-for-west flip-flop of the Mediterranean.

Like Byzantium, Videssos is an absolute monarchy, ruled by an Emperor. The Emperor is assisted by a numerous, influential bureaucracy. The bureaucracy and military are traditionally rivals for power and influence. Even Videssian offices and titles are the same as the Byzantine ones (e.g. autokrator, sebastokrator, vestiarios, drungarios).

The Videssian emperors and their history strongly resemble the Byzantine emperors.

 Genesios is the usurper Phocas.
 Maniakes, the main protagonist of the Time of Troubles series is Emperor Heraclius, and the name recalls the famed general George Maniakes.
 Anthimos III, the dissolute emperor, is Michael III the Drunkard.
 Krispos, of the Tale of Krispos series, is Basil I, with elements of John I Tzimiskes and Basil II.
 Mavrikios Gavras, of the original Videssos Cycle, resembles Romanos IV Diogenes, and the two rival imperial families, the Gavras and the Sphrantzes, are analogous to the Komnenos and the Doukas dynasties.

The Videssian Empire is rather feudal, with powerful landowners wielding great influence.  The class of yeoman farmers, who provided much of the best recruits for the military, is dwindling, analogously to what happened at several stages of Byzantine history.

Characters
Marcus Aemilius Scaurus - Tribune of the Legion. Trained in the stoic arts, he is able to keep his head in the most trying and surprising of situations.
Gaius Philippus - Senior Centurion of the Legion. Career military man.
Viridovix son of Drappes - Leader of the Celtic forces. He loves war, wine, and wenching.
Gorgidas - Greek physician for the Legion. Sharp-tongued and acerbic.
Mavrikios Gavras - Avtokrator of Videssos. A successful leader of a rebellion, he has a temper tempered by years as emperor.
Thorisin Gavras - Brother of Mavrikios. Hot-headed and impetuous, he is blunt, direct, and very competitive.
Vardanes Sphrantzes - Leader of the administrative functionaries of the empire (called pen-pushers.)  His uncle was the immediately preceding Avtokrator and he craves both power and Alypia.
Alypia Gavras - Only child of Mavrikios. She is quiet, studious, and reserved. When pushed, she does show a temper similar to that of her father and uncle.
Avshar - Sorcerer. Leader of the Yezd forces plaguing Videssos. He delights in cruelty and has waged a long campaign against Videssos.

Reception
Anna Wołek noted that the series is not among Turtledove's most popular works. Wołek, Edgeworth and Stypczynski discussed how Turtledove reused numerous elements of history of the real ancient world (in particular, Rome), in his world building in the Videssos cycle.

The Mushkoh Valley is a valley situated in Dras. Also known as valley of wild tulips, which are a major attraction for tourists but it's yet to explore. Located within the Indian-administered union territory of Ladakh. Widely considered to be glaciated and unsuitable for human habitation, it came into prominence during the Kargil War in 1999, when Pakistani forces crossed the Line of Control and took up positions in the region. The Mushkoh Valley is situated at the westernmost extremity of Ladakh, to the west of which lies the northern reaches of the Kashmir Valley, located in the Indian-administered union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

The valley is nestled within Dras—the second-coldest inhabited place in the world. Dras, which is located approximately  from Srinagar, is also called 'The Gateway to Ladakh'.

The Mushkoh Valley is situated at an elevation of around , and is located just eight kilometres away from the main market in Dras. It has a population settled in a highland village surrounded by the mountains and meadow on all sides. The village has a breathtaking landscape as Dras River also flows through it. From Mushkoh, one can also trek to Tilail in Gurez (Bandipore) in few days which passes through many meadows. The meadows are dotted with different varieties of flowers. The mountain slopes in the Mushkoh Valley are filled with flowers giving the village a breathtaking beauty. The villagers are mostly involved in farming and sheep rearing.

is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by George Akiyama. The series was originally serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1970 to 1971, with its chapters collected into two tankōbon volumes. Shōnen Sunday was once specified as "harmful" in some prefectures when the series has started, because of its violent and drastic depiction.

The story was about a boy named  who lived in extreme poverty, who gained affluence and influence through a series of murders.
Zeni means money in Japanese and Geba means die Gewalt (power) in German, so the title can be translated into "Moneypower".

A film of Zeni Geba was released in 1970, directed by Yoshinori Wada, starring Jūrō Kara and Mako Midori, and featuring an appearance by science fiction author Izumi Suzuki.
The series was dramatized into a TV series in 2009, and was aired from January to March by the NNN TVs in Japan, starring Kenichi Matsuyama. The original story was released shortly after when Student activism was on in Japan and thus reflected such historical backgrounds as represented in its use of the word  in the title. The background of the TV series, on the other hand, was adjusted to reflect the 2009 world, including positioning of the main character as  working at a factory.

State Road 641 (SR 641) in the U.S. state of Indiana is a state road in Vigo County that bypasses the city of Terre Haute. The highway connects U.S. Route 41 (US 41) in the south and Interstate 70 (I-70) in the north.

Route description
SR 641 is a freeway southeast of Terre Haute that starts at an interchange along US 41 near Eaton Road in Honey Creek Township and branches off to the northeast toward Woodsmall Road, then turns north. A folded diamond interchange connects SR 641 to McDaniel Road. To the north of the interchange, the freeway crosses a CSX Railroad line and curves to the east, crossing into Riley Township. SR 641 meets SR 46 at Riley Road. SR 46 merges onto the new freeway at this intersection and the two highways run concurrently as they curve north to meet I-70. SR 641 ends at the new interchange with I-70 and US 40, while SR 46 continues northward on its current highway routing.

History
The concept of a Terre Haute bypass was first presented to INDOT in 1989. Official plans were adopted in mid- to late-1990. A feasibility assessment was conducted in December 1990, and the project was included in the Indiana State Highway Improvement Program on August 29, 1991. The "Engineer’s Report for S.R. 641 (Terre Haute) Bypass" was completed in January 1995.

The project was developed to shorten travel times between US 41 and I-70, and avoid traffic congestion in central Terre Haute. The new freeway reduces travel distance by  and bypass eleven stoplights.

Construction on SR 641 was planned in four phases. Phase I concentrated on the southernmost segment of the new highway from US 41 north and east to Woodsmall Road. Phase II runs from Woodsmall Road to Feree Road. Phase I and part of Phase II up to McDaniel Road were completed and opened to traffic on October 26, 2010. Phases III and IV completed the bypass. Construction on these two phases had a target completion date of late 2016, and the full bypass opened on January 20, 2017.

The Nazca Ridge is a submarine ridge, located on the Nazca Plate off the west coast of South America. This plate and ridge are currently subducting under the South American Plate at a convergent boundary known as the Peru-Chile Trench at approximately  per year. The Nazca Ridge began subducting obliquely to the collision margin at 11°S, approximately 11.2 Ma, and the current subduction location is 15°S. The ridge is composed of abnormally thick basaltic ocean crust, averaging 18 ±3 km thick. This crust is buoyant, resulting in flat slab subduction under Peru. This flat slab subduction has been associated with the uplift of Pisco Basin and the cessation of Andes volcanism and the uplift of the Fitzcarrald Arch on the South American continent approximately 4 Ma.

Morphology
The Nazca Ridge is approximately  wide,  long, and has  of bathymetric relief. The gradient of the slopes is 1-2 degrees. The ridge is located at a depth of  below sea level, above the carbonate compensation depth. It is blanketed in a thin covering of  thick pelagic calcareous ooze. Based on Rayleigh wave analysis, the ridge has an average crustal thickness of 18 ±3 km, but could have a localized maximum thickness up to . This is abnormally thick for oceanic crust. By comparison, the underlying Nazca Plate adjacent to the ridge ranges from  thick, and is comparable to the worldwide average of around  thick.

Formation
Based on basalt ages, the portion of the Nazca Ridge that is currently exposed dates from 31 ± 1 Ma at the Peru-Chile trench, to 23 ± 1 Ma where the Nazca Ridge and Easter Seamount Chain are adjacent. Basalt composition has also been used to show that the Nazca Ridge and Easter Seamount Chain formed from the same magma source, with the formation of the Easter Seamount Chain occurring after the Nazca Plate changed direction. Formation began along the Pacific-Farallon/Nazca spreading center, and has been attributed to hot spot volcanism. There is some debate as to where this hot spot was originally located however, with locations near Easter Island and Salas y Gomez both being proposed. The ridge is primarily composed of mid-ocean ridge basalt, which erupted on the Nazca Plate when the plate was already 5-13 Ma old. Based on isotopic ratios and rare earth element composition, it is estimated that the magma was sourced at approximately 95 km depth from a 7% partial melt. The Nazca Ridge has a conjugate feature on the Pacific Plate, the Tuamotu Plateau. Magnetic anomalies have shown that there was symmetrical spreading at the Pacific-Farallon/Nazca center, so the Tuamotu Plateau can be used as a proxy for the pre-subducted Nazca Ridge geometry.

Subduction and migration history
The Nazca Plate began subducting into the Peru-Chile trench 11.2 Ma at 11°S. Due to the oblique orientation of the ridge to the Nazca-South American plate collision zone, the ridge has migrated south along the active margin to its current location at 15°S. Based on Tuamotu Plateau mirror relationship, it is estimated that  of the Nazca Ridge has already subducted. The speed of migration has slowed over time, with the ridge migrating at  per year until 10.8 Ma, then slowing to  per year from 10.8-4.9 Ma. The current ridge migration rate is  per year. The current plate subduction rate is  per year.

Continental margin interaction
The ridge is buoyant, resulting in flat slab subduction of the Nazca Plate underneath Peru. Buoyancy is related to crustal age, and the buoyancy effect can be seen in oceanic crust aged from 30-40 Ma. The Nazca Plate is dated to 45 Ma where it subducts into the Peru-Chile trench. The extreme thickness of the buoyant ridge is responsible for the flat slab subduction of the older underlying plate. Modeling has shown that this type of subduction is only concurrent with submarine ridges, and accounts for approximately 10% of convergent boundaries.  The most recent estimate of the subduction angle for the Nazca Plate is 20° to a depth of  at  inland. At  depth, approximately  inland, the plate shifts to a horizontal orientation, and continues to travel horizontally for up to  inland, before resuming subduction into the asthenosphere.

Large magnitude earthquakes occur in association with the area around the Nazca Ridge subduction zone, known at the Peru megathrust. These include, but are not limited to, a magnitude 8.1 earthquake in 1942, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake in 1970, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake in 1996, a magnitude 8.4 earthquake in 2001, and a magnitude 8.0 earthquake in 2007. Earthquake records for this area of subduction go back to 1586. All of these ruptures were located either on the coast of Peru or within the Peru-Chile Trench between 9°S and 18°S, coincidental with the subducting Nazca Ridge, and include both intraplate and interplate rupturing. No large earthquakes have been located between 14°S and 15.5°S, where the bathymetric high of the ridge is subducting. Interplate earthquakes do not occur in direct conjunction with the Nazca Ridge.

There has been little geomorphic affect to the Peru-Chile trench due to the ridge subduction beyond a shallowing from  above the ridge location. However, this is a tectonic erosion margin. There is no accretionary wedge forming in the trench, and what sediment is found there is from continental sources, based on fossil assemblage. The calcareous ooze blanketing Nazca Ridge is completely subducted. Crustal erosion of the forearc basin has resulted in the loss of  of the South American Plate since 11 Ma.

The forearc basin of Pisco located above the subducting ridge has experienced uplift since the Late Pliocene or Pleistocene an uplift that is attributed to the subduction of the Nazca Ridge.

Influence in Amazon tectonics
The flat slab subduction associated with the Nazca Ridge has been linked to the cessation of volcanism in the Andes Mountains at about 4 Ma. The subduction has also been linked with the formation of the Fitzcarrald Arch, which is a ,  high, domed topographic feature that defines the Amazon drainage Basin. Studies indicate that the uplift of the arch also began 4 Ma.

The uplift of the Fitzcarrald Arch intersects with the Andes Mountains where there is a shift from high-gradient topography to the low-gradient Amazon Basin. This topographic uplift effectively divides the Amazon drainage basin into three sub-basins, the Ucayali to the northwest, the Acre to the northeast, and the Madre De Dios to the southeast. It's hypothesized that significant modifications to sedimentary, erosional, and hydrological processes have resulted from the uplift of the Fitzcarrald Arch. Evolutionary paths for freshwater fish began to diverge in the Amazon sub-basins approximately 4 Ma as well. The uplift of the Fitzcarrald Arch could also be the catalyst that lead to these differing evolutionary paths, effectively isolating fish populations from each other.

The 303rd Fighter Wing is an inactive United States Air Force unit. Its last assignment was with the XXIX Tactical Air Command. It was disbanded on 12 August 1945.

History
Established and organized at Norfolk Army Airfield, Virginia in 1943 as a command and control organization.   Deployed to the European Theater of Operations (ETO) in late 1943 and assigned to IX Fighter Command, Ninth Air Force.  Initial mission of the wing was to receive operational orders from Headquarters, IX Fighter Command and direct subordinate groups in attacking enemy targets in Occupied France and the Low Countries in preparation for the Normandy Invasion in June 1944.

Operational missions included strafing and dive-bombing armored vehicles, trains, bridges, buildings, factories, troop concentrations, gun emplacements, airfields, and other targets in preparation for the invasion of Normandy. Also flew some escort missions with Eighth Air Force Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Consolidated B-24 Liberator strategic bombers.

Participated in the June 1944 D-Day invasion of France in by patrolling the air over the landing zones and by flying close-support and interdiction missions. Operations supported the breakthrough at Saint-Lô in July and the thrust of The United States Third Army toward Germany in August and September.  Reassigned to XIX Tactical Air Command in November 1944 and continued supporting Third Army with Air-Ground support missions, moving through Nancy and Metz to the Siegfried Line near Saarbrücken and Haguenau.

Reassigned to support the United States Ninth Army in Belgium as a result of the German offensive during the Battle of the Bulge, December 1944.  Attacked enemy targets in the Northern Rheinland during the Rhineland Campaign and Operation Grenade, which was the southern prong of a pincer attack coordinated with Canadian First Army's Operation Veritable, with the purpose of closing the front up to the Rhine River. By 10 March, the Rhine had been reached in all sectors of Ninth Army's front. It was not until after 20 March that Ninth Army units first crossed the Rhine itself.

Attacked ground targets in the Ruhr, providing air support as Allied ground forces encircled enemy forces in the Ruhr Pocket, essentially ending organized enemy resistance in Western Germany.   Ninth Army halted its advance at the Elbe River in late April 1945, the wing engaging targets of opportunity in enemy-controlled areas until combat was ended on 5 May 1945.

Remained in Europe after the war as part of United States Air Forces in Europe, performing occupation duty and the destruction or shipment to the United States of captured enemy combat equipment.  Demobilized in Germany and organization was inactivated on 20 November 1945.
