On 24 January 1963 a United States Air Force Boeing B-52C Stratofortress with nine crew members on board lost its vertical stabilizer due to buffeting stresses during turbulence at low altitude and crashed on Elephant Mountain in Piscataquis County, Maine, United States,  from Greenville. The pilot and the navigator survived the accident.

Training mission
The crew's training mission was called a Terrain Avoidance Flight to practice techniques to penetrate Advanced Capability Radar (ACR) undetected by Soviet air defense during the Cold War. ACR training flights had already been made over the West Coast of the United States on Poker Deck routes. This was to be the first low-level navigation flight, utilizing terrain-following radar, in the Eastern United States.

The crew, consisting of two 99th Bombardment Wing Standardization Division crews based at Westover Air Force Base, Massachusetts, and two instructors from the 39th Bombardment Squadron, 6th Strategic Aerospace Wing at Walker Air Force Base, New Mexico, was briefed for six hours the day before the accident. They had the choice of flying over either the Carolinas or Maine.

The B-52C departed Westover AFB at 12:11 p.m. on Thursday, 24 January 1963, and was scheduled to return to Westover at 5:30 p.m.

The crew spent the first 95 minutes of the flight calibrating their equipment. Upon receiving updated weather information for both available routes, they chose the northern one. They were supposed to begin their low-level simulated penetration of enemy airspace just south of Princeton, Maine, near West Grand Lake. From there, they would head north to Millinocket and fly over the mountains in the Jo-Mary/Greenville area. They planned to turn northeast near Seboomook Lake and southeast near Caucomgomoc Lake to proceed through the mountains of northern Baxter State Park. After crossing Traveler Mountain, the aircraft was supposed to climb back to altitude over the Houlton VOR Station.

Accident

One hour later, around 2:30 p.m. the Stratofortress crossed the Princeton VOR, descended to  and started its simulation of penetrating enemy airspace at low altitude with an airspeed of . The outside temperature was  with winds gusting to  and  of snow on the ground.

Approximately 22 minutes later, just after passing Brownville Junction in the center of Maine, the aircraft encountered turbulence. When the pilot and crew commander, Westover's Most Senior Standardization Instructor Pilot, started to climb above it, the vertical stabilizer came off the plane with a "loud noise sounding like an explosion". Having suffered severe damage, the B-52C went into a 40-degree right turn, with nose pointed downward. The pilot gave the order to abandon the aircraft when he could not level it.

Only the upper flight deck crew members of the B-52C have ejection seats that eject them upwards. The seats of the pilot, copilot, and electronic warfare officer (a navigator also trained in electronic warfare) function at any altitude, as long as the airspeed is at least , which is the minimum required to inflate their blast propelled parachutes. The lower-deck crew members eject on a downward track. Hence, the navigator and radar navigator cannot safely eject at altitudes less than . Spare crew members do not have an ejection seat at all. They must use parachutes and either jump out of the navigators' hatch after the navigators have ejected or drop out of the aircraft's door. The tail gunner has his own unique escape option: he can sever the tail gun and jump aft out the resulting hole in the rear.

The navigator, who was operating as electronic warfare officer, ejected first. He was followed by the pilot and the copilot; there was neither enough altitude nor time for the six lower-deck crew members to escape before the aircraft crashed into the west side of Elephant Mountain at 2:52 p.m.

The copilot suffered fatal injuries, striking a tree  away from the main crash site. The pilot landed in a tree  above the ground. He survived the night, with temperatures reaching almost , in his survival-kit sleeping bag atop his life raft. The navigator's parachute did not deploy upon ejection. He impacted the snow-covered ground before separating from his ejection seat about  from the wreckage with an impact estimated at 16 times the force of gravity. He suffered a fractured skull and three broken ribs. The force bent his ejection seat and he could not get his survival kit out. He survived the night by wrapping himself in his parachute.

A grader operator on a remote woods road witnessed the final turn of the Stratofortress and saw a black smoke cloud after impact. Eighty rescuers from the Maine State Police, the Maine Inland Fish and Game Department, the Civil Air Patrol, as well as Air Force units from Dow Air Force Base in Bangor, Maine, along with others from New Hampshire and Massachusetts and other volunteers, went to work. Search aircraft were on the scene, but they searched too far south and east to locate the wreckage before nightfall.

After the crash site was located the next day, Scott Paper Company dispatched plows from Greenville to clear  of road of snow drifts up to  deep. The rescuers had to use snowshoes, dog sleds and snowmobiles to cover the remaining mile to the crash site. At 11 a.m. the two survivors were airlifted to a hospital by a helicopter.

Accident investigation

The crash was caused by turbulence-induced structural failure. Due to buffeting stresses, the stabilizer shaft broke and the B-52's vertical stabilizer came off the plane. It was found  from where the plane struck the mountain side. With the loss of the vertical stabilizer, the aircraft had lost its directional stability and rolled uncontrollably.

Originally, the B-52 was designed to penetrate Soviet airspace at high altitude around  and high speed around  to drop nuclear weapons. When the US intelligence realized that the Soviets had implemented a sophisticated, layered and interconnected air defense system with radar controlled surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), the US Air Force decided the B-52 would have to penetrate the Soviet airspace at low altitude (around ) and high speed to stay underneath the radar. However, low altitude, high speed flight operations put enormous stress on an aircraft's structure, especially when flying near mountains, up and down ridges and through valleys due to lee waves and the rotor. The B-52 was not designed for this kind of operation. 56-0591, a B-52D, took off from Larson AFB, Washington, on 23 June 1959 and experienced a horizontal stabilizer turbulence-induced failure at low level and crashed. The modification process of the B-52 series began in 1961.

B-52C 53-0406, which crashed on Elephant Mountain, was the second high-tailed B-52 to suffer such a fatal structural failure. After extensive testing and another three similar failures (two with fatal crashes) within 12 months of the Elephant Mountain crash, Boeing determined that turbulence would over-stress the B-52's rudder connection bolts, causing first a rudder and subsequently a tail failure. The bolts were strengthened throughout the fleet, fixing the problem.

Aftermath
Of the two survivors, the pilot returned to active duty after spending three months in the hospital and the navigator, whose feet were frostbitten, contracted double pneumonia, became unconscious for five days and his leg had to be amputated because frostbite and gangrene had set in.

Most of the remains of 53–0406 are still at the crash site, owned by Plum Creek Timber Co. They improved the foot trail so visitors can view the wreckage. Although the site has signs posted asking viewers to show due respect while there, it has been vandalized with names carved in the wreckage or marked with permanent marker.

In the late 1970s, a retired military pilot and president of the Moosehead Riders Snowmobile Club initiated the annual memorial snowmobile ride in honor of those aboard the B-52. The annual crash site ceremony is attended by representatives from the Maine Air National Guard, the American Legion, the Civil Air Patrol, Maine Warden Service and members of the snowmobile club. There is a color guard, the laying of a wreath, the reading of the names of those who died, a prayer by a military chaplain and the playing of Taps. One engine and the navigator's ejection seat can be viewed at the Clubhouse.

In 1993, a special commemorative service was sponsored by the Moosehead Riders Snowmobile Club. The navigator attended the event and was honored at several ceremonies. He went to the crash site for the first time since being evacuated thirty years earlier.

In 2011, a Maine Forest Service employee found an ejection seat from the aircraft near an overgrown logging road while hunting. In May 2012 he returned to the site to take photos and record identification numbers to confirm it came from the ill-fated B-52. A recovery team retrieved the mostly intact ejection seat. Researchers claim that it is most likely the pilot's seat and remarkably similar to the seat at the snowmobile clubhouse in Greenville. It is the third seat recovered from the crash and preserved for public viewing. The other is in a Bangor museum.

In 2013, 50 years after the crash, the Snowmobile Club held the annual remembrance at the crash site and the retired pilot gave a rare interview. Navigator Gerald Adler came face-to-face with his rescuer for the first time in 50 years during a Memorial Day event on 25 May 2013.

The River Truim (Abhainn Truim in Gaelic) is a right bank tributary of the River Spey in the Scottish Highlands. Its headwaters meet to the north of the Pass of Drumochter and flow northwards as the Truim past the dam at the northern end of Loch Ericht and through the village of Dalwhinnie, highest village in the Scottish Highlands. The distillery at Dalwhinnie producing Dalwhinnie Single Malt is also the highest in Scotland. The waters of its most significant tributary, the Allt Cuaich, are diverted in part along an aqueduct to Loch Ericht. The river continues north-northeastwards down Glen Truim, over the Falls of Truim and on to meet the Spey 2.5 miles (4 km) southwest of Newtonmore. It is closely followed for almost its entire length by both the A9 road and the mainline railway from Perth to Inverness.

Etymology
The name 'Truim' is an anglicisation of the Gaelic word for 'elder tree'.

The Hall occupied an area of approximately four acres but was demolished in the 1920s. Dilhorne Hall was rebuilt in about 1830 by the Buller family. It succeeded a 17th-century house had been the home of Copwood Hollins (who died in 1705) and, in the later 18th century, John Holliday.

In the early 1980s Dilhorne Recreational Institute had been built on the site of the demolished Hall. The grounds of the former hall is now a park, playground and crown green bowling club. It is also the site of Dilhorne Village Hall, a venue for events both private and organised by the village hall committee as a self funding charity. Classes, such as Yoga, Salsa and Art are also run on a regular basis. The old gate house to Dilhorne Hall still stands at the entrance to the park and has been renovated to become a private house.

Buller Family
The Buller family were noted in the legal profession in London during the 19th century.
The Baronetcy of Dilhorne in the County of Stafford was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 20 January 1866 for Edward Manningham-Buller.

In 1962 Reginald Manningham-Buller, the fourth Baronet of Dilhorne, who did not inherit the Dilhorne estate, took the title Baron Dilhorne, of Towcester in the County of Northampton. He was subsequently made a Viscount.
The former head of the Security Service (MI5) Eliza Manningham-Buller, Baroness Manningham-Buller is his daughter.

Burnet 'Burnie' Payne (born 8 May 1939) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Hobart in the Tasmanian National Football League (TANFL) and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He is a member of the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame, having been inducted in 2005.

Payne make his TANFL debut at the age of just 16 and was a member of Hobart's 1959, 1960 and 1963 premiership teams. St Kilda then secured his services for the 1964 VFL season and he had a solid year, starting with three goals on debut and he later managed a six-goal haul in a win over South Melbourne. He finished second in St Kilda's goal-kicking, behind Darrel Baldock.

Due to family reasons, Payne returned to Tasmania after just one season on the mainland. He won William Leitch Medals in 1965 and 1966 to become the first Hobart player to win it back to back. A premiership player again in 1966, Payne spent the 1969 and 1970 season as captain-coach.

He was a regular Tasmanian interstate representative, appearing in a total of 16 matches, including the 1966 Hobart and 1969 Adelaide Carnivals. Payne retired at the end of 1973 but continued his coaching career at Kingston.

Still Dangerous is a live album by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy. It was compiled from two live concerts by the band at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, U.S., just outside of Philadelphia, at 20 and 21 October 1977 during the tour in support of their Bad Reputation album. No overdubs were made to any tracks so the album is completely live. The tracks "Cowboy Song", "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Massacre" and "Emerald" were previously released on the album Live and Dangerous, while "Opium Trail" and "Bad Reputation" were issued on the Killers Live EP in 1981.

"Bad Reputation" and "Emerald" are bonus tracks made only available as downloads outside Japan.  They are also available as a bonus 7" 45 RPM single on the U.S. vinyl version of the release.

The live recordings of "Jailbreak", "Cowboy Song", and "The Boys are Back in Town" from this album are available as downloadable content as a Thin Lizzy track pack for the music video game Rock Band.

The album features the common live Thin Lizzy practice of running one song straight into some more popular hit, typically using the ending note of one as the starting note of the next, notably with "Cowboy Song" which finishes with the first note of "The Boys Are Back in Town" and "Soldier of Fortune" which leads directly into "Jailbreak".  This live version of "The Boys Are Back in Town" is used over the end credits of the film The Expendables (rather than the more well-known studio version from Jailbreak).

Maryland Route 806 (MD 806) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland.  The state highway runs a total of  in two segments from U.S. Route 15 (US 15) near Catoctin Furnace north to Roddy Creek Road near Thurmont.  MD 806A, which has a length of  from Catoctin Furnace to Thurmont, and MD 806R, which extends  on the north side of Thurmont, are separated by a section of municipally-maintained road on the south side of Thurmont and a segment of MD 550 north of MD 77.  MD 806 is the old alignment of US 15 through Catoctin Furnace and Thurmont.  The state highway was originally constructed in the 1910s.  MD 806 was assigned to the highway when US 15 bypassed Thurmont in the late 1950s.  The state highway became a split route in the late 1980s.  There have been several other segments of MD 806 along former sections of US 15 in Frederick County, including portions around Lewistown and south of Frederick.

Route description

MD 806 begins at an intersection with US 15 (Catoctin Mountain Highway) and Auburn Road, the old alignment of US 15 that heads south closely paralleling the southbound lanes of US 15.  The state highway, officially MD 806A, heads north as two-lane undivided Catoctin Furnace Road through the community of Catoctin Furnace.  MD 806 parallels the northbound lanes of US 15, which itself parallels the eastern edge of Catoctin Mountain and the eastern boundary of Cunningham Falls State Park.  The state highway crosses Little Hunting Creek and passes the site of the Catoctin Furnace and the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo.  Just south of the zoo, MD 806 has access to US 15 and the Manor Area of Cunningham Falls State Park via a two-way spur to US 15, which closely parallels MD 806 at that point.  The state highway veers away from US 15 and intersects Blue Mountain Road, which heads west as unsigned US 15G to provide another access point to the parallel divided highway.  MD 806 traverses High Run then reaches its northern terminus at the southern town limit of Thurmont.

The roadway, which was formerly part of MD 806, continues north as municipally-maintained Frederick Road through a commercial area.  Frederick Road intersects Thurmont Boulevard, which heads west to a diamond interchange with US 15.  The old highway crosses Hunting Creek and turns north onto Water Street to pass through downtown Thurmont.  At MD 77 (Main Street), the old alignment becomes a state highway again as part of MD 550, which heads east with MD 77 along Main Street and north along Church Street, which passes under the Maryland Midland Railway.  The Church Street portion of MD 550 is also signed as MD 806.  The next official segment of MD 806 (officially MD 806R) begins at MD 550 and follows Emmitsburg Road northeast to the northern border of Thurmont. At this point, MD 806R ends and Emmitsburg Road continues north as a county road.

History
The two sections of MD 806 through Catoctin Furnace and Thurmont and the intervening town streets are the old alignment of US 15.  Originally part of the Frederick and Emmitsburg Turnpike, the highway was one of the original state roads marked for improvement by the Maryland State Roads Commission in 1909.  The commission purchased the turnpike in 1911 and resurfaced the turnpike south of Thurmont with a  wide macadam surface in 1915.  The same type of surface was applied along the turnpike right-of-way from Thurmont to Emmitsburg between 1915 and 1919.  The highways through Catoctin Furnace and Thurmont were designated US 15 in 1927 and widened to  around 1930.

Construction on the Thurmont Bypass from Catoctin Furnace to Owens Creek began in 1956.  The new highway, which was constructed as the first roadway of an ultimate divided highway, was completed in 1958.  US 15 moved to its present alignment and the old road was designated as the first section of MD 806.  The northern terminus of the Thurmont section of MD 806 was originally just north of the right angle turn from Emmitsburg Road to Albert Staub Road, where MD 806 met then two-lane US 15 at an oblique intersection.  When US 15 was reconstructed as a divided highway from MD 550 north toward Emmitsburg in 1983, MD 806's original terminus was removed.  MD 806 was moved onto Albert Staub Road, which was extended north over a new bridge over Owens Creek to an intersection with Roddy Creek Road.  MD 806 was split into MD 806A and MD 806R when the highway from the southern town limit of Thurmont to MD 77 was transferred to municipal maintenance around 1989.

Several other sections of the old alignment of US 15 have been marked as sections of MD 806.  US 15 bypassed Lewistown in 1962.  The old alignment along Hessong Bridge Road and Angleberger Road was a segment of MD 806 until it was transferred to county maintenance around 1985.  US 15 originally followed what is now MD 85 from Tuscarora to Frederick.  When US 15 was moved to Washington National Pike (now Interstate 270) and the Frederick Freeway after the latter freeway was completed in 1959, the portion of US 15 between Washington National Pike and MD 355 became a segment of MD 806.  The segment of MD 806 south of Frederick became part of MD 85 in 1971.  Other portions of the old alignment of US 15 that were part of MD 806 include Hansonville Road between Frederick and Lewistown; Auburn Road between Lewistown and Catoctin Furnace; and Franklinville Road, St. Anthony Road, and Old Emmitsburg Road between Thurmont and Emmitsburg. On October 31, 2016, the portion of MD 806R between the northern border of Thurmont and Roddy Creek Road was transferred to county maintenance.

Junction list

Auxiliary routes
MD 806 has three existing and two former unsigned auxiliary routes.
MD 806I is the designation for the unnamed  service road that runs north along the southbound side of US 15 from an intersection with US 15 past Willow Road to a dead end north of Frederick.
MD 806N is the designation for the unnamed  service road that runs north along the southbound side of US 15 from Hayward Road north to an intersection with US 15. The route originally ran to a cul-de-sac until it was realigned to end at US 15 in 2010.
MD 806O was the designation for the unnamed  service road that ran north along the southbound side of US 15 from Lohr Road to a dead end between Thurmont and Emmitsburg. The route was transferred to county maintenance on October 31, 2016.
MD 806S was the designation for Roddy Court, which ran  from Roddy Creek Road north to a dead end in Thurmont. MD 806S was designated in 2012. The route was transferred to county maintenance on October 31, 2016.
MD 806T is the designation for a  section of Monocacy Boulevard at its interchange with US 15 in Frederick. The route was created on April 20, 2015.

Verena Esther Huber-Dyson (May 6, 1923 – March 12, 2016) was a Swiss-American mathematician, known for her work on group theory and formal logic. She has been described as a "brilliant mathematician", who did research on the interface between algebra and logic, focusing on undecidability in group theory. At the time of her death, she was emeritus faculty in the philosophy department of the University of Calgary, Alberta.

Life and career

Family and early life
Huber-Dyson was born Verena Esther Huber in Naples, Italy, on May 6, 1923. Her parents, Karl (Charles) Huber (1893–1946) and Berthy Ryffel (1899–1945), were Swiss nationals who raised Verena and her sister Adelheid ("Heidi", 1925–1987) in Athens, Greece, where the girls attended the German-speaking Deutsche Schule, or German School of Athens, until forced to return to Switzerland in 1940 by the war.

Charles Huber, who had managed the Middle Eastern operations of Bühler AG, a Swiss food-process engineering firm, began working for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), monitoring the treatment of prisoners of war in internment camps. As the ICRC delegate to India and Ceylon, he was responsible for Italian prisoners held in British camps, but also visited German and Allied camps in Europe. In 1945-46 he served as an ICRC delegate to the United States, which he described to Verena as a place she "definitely ought to experience at length and in depth but just as definitely ought not to settle in."

She studied mathematics, with minors in physics and philosophy, at the University of Zurich, where she obtained her Ph.D. in mathematics in 1947 with a thesis in finite group theory under the supervision of Andreas Speiser.

Children

Verena married Hans-Georg Haefeli, a fellow mathematician, in 1942, and was divorced in 1948. Her first daughter, Katarina Halm (née Halm), was born in 1945.

She subsequently married Freeman Dyson in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on August 11, 1950. They had two children together, Esther Dyson (born July 14, 1951, in Zurich) and George Dyson (born 1953, Ithaca, New York), and divorced in 1958.

Career
Huber-Dyson accepted a postdoctoral fellow appointment at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1948, where she worked on group theory and formal logic. She also began teaching at Goucher College near Baltimore during this time.

She moved to California with her daughter Katarina, began teaching at San Jose State University in 1959, and then joined Alfred Tarski's Group in Logic and the Methodology of Science at the University of California, Berkeley.

Huber-Dyson taught at San Jose State University, the University of Zürich, Monash University, as well as at University of California, Berkeley, Adelphi University, University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Illinois at Chicago, in mathematics and in philosophy departments.  She accepted a position in the philosophy department of the University of Calgary in 1973, becoming emerita in 1988.

Gentile Air Force Station was a USAF installation in Kettering, Ohio, named for World War II fighter ace Don Gentile and closed in 1997.  Gentile AFS was the site of the Defense Electronics Supply Center (merged with the Defense Construction Supply Center in Columbus to form the Defense Supply Center, Columbus)  and its Defense Automatic Addressing System Center.  In 1994, Gentile AFS became a Defense Finance and Accounting Service Center facility for the Air Force.  After Gentile's closure, the town of Kettering converted the base property into Kettering Business Park.

The public artwork Bee Ambitious (2019) by Jes McMillan in the Haverstick neighborhood of Kettering, Ohio was inspired by the aviation heritage of this station.

As of June 2020, City of Kettering is planning to create Gentile Park at the site of Gentile Air Force Station. As of fall of 2023 the development of Gentile Park has begun.

Known as "the Slim Gourmet," her syndicated column of the same name was widely distributed in the 1970s, and popularized her ideas on diet cooking.  A number of her columns were humorous developments of her theory that "ingredients have no calories."

Personal
Gibbons lived in New Jersey, California and Texas.

Career
Gibbons was best known in the 1970s due to her syndicated "The Slim Gourmet" cooking column and the publication of many of her cookbooks on diet-focused cooking. Her publishing history continued into the 1980s.

Humor
The ideas from Gibbons's humorous columns were collected in her 1982 book Calories Don't Count If You Eat Standing Up.

Since then, Gibbons's ideas developing her humorous theory that "ingredients have no calories" have been widely reproduced and distributed online, in private emails, and in the 1995 book Chicken Soup for the Soul Cookbook.   People give these encapsulations of her ideas such titles as "Calories That Don't Count," "Food With No Calories," "The No-Fail Diet Plan" or "Guide To Calorie Burning."  Usually, authorship is simply noted as "Source Unknown" or "Author Unknown."

The following are some of the foods which Gibbons says have no calories:
Other people's food.
Food on foot.
Children's food.
Uneven edges.
TV food.
Anything smaller than one inch.
Left-handed food.
Celebratory food.
Food on toothpicks.
Leftovers.
Food eaten quickly.
Custom-made food.

The Manifesto Novices' Chase is a Grade 1 National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Aintree over a distance of about 2 miles and 4 furlongs (2 miles, 3 furlongs and 200 yards, or ), and during its running there are sixteen fences to be jumped. The race is for novice chasers, and it is scheduled to take place each year during the Grand National meeting in early April.

The event is named after Manifesto, a horse which ran eight times in the Grand National between 1895 and 1904. He won the race twice, finished third on three occasions and was fourth once.

The Manifesto Novices' Chase was established in 2009 as a Grade 2 race, and it features horses which ran previously in the Arkle Challenge Trophy and the JLT Novices' Chase. In 2012 the race was promoted to Grade 1 status.

Plot

Monika (Mónica Zanchi), a free-spirited daughter of a rich Baron, joins the convent. She tells one sister how she was sexually assaulted by a group of young men; this gains her sympathy from her fellow sisters. Monika has sex and performs various sex acts with various men in and around the convent. Various nuns witness this, causing them to question their faith and break their repression. Monika has a sexual relationship with another sister and blackmails her (by refusing sex) if she does not comply with her demands. Later a mysterious man armed with a gun visits the convent. He has sex with Monika; witnessed by most nuns in the convent. Monika is later dismissed. Emanuelle later leaves of her own free will.

Cathy Zoi is an American business executive, currently CEO of EVgo the US's largest fast charging network for electric vehicles. She is the former Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) at the U.S. Department of Energy.

Career
Zoi is currently CEO of EVgo (the US's largest fast-charging network for electric vehicles) and co-founder and executive chairman of Odyssey Energy (a software start-up offering distributed, renewable electricity to communities and businesses in emerging economies).  She formerly served as Chief Strategy Officer at C3 Energy. Prior to that she was a partner at Silver Lake Kraftwerk, "a partnership between Soros Fund Management and Silicon Valley private equity giant Silver Lake Partners.". Silver Lake is a Silicon Valley-based growth equity firm focused on energy and resource technology companies in the U.S. and internationally.

Zoi is the founding chief executive officer of the Alliance for Climate Protection, which was established and chaired by former Vice President Al Gore.

Zoi was Chief of Staff in the White House Office on Environmental Policy in the Clinton-Gore administration, where she managed the team working on environmental and energy issues. She was a manager at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where she pioneered the Energy Star Program.

She has worked for several energy-focused organizations, as group executive director at the Bayard Group, recently renamed Landis+Gyr Holdings, which is a world leader in energy measurement technologies and systems; as the assistant director general of the New South Wales EPA in Sydney, Australia; and as the founding chief executive officer of the New South Wales Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA), a $50 million fund to commercialize greenhouse-friendly technology.  Under her leadership, SEDA launched the world's first nationwide green power program and the world's largest solar-powered suburb.

In February 2011, it was announced that Zoi had been hired by George Soros and private equity firm Silver Lake to run an "investment strategy focused on providing growth capital to business innovators in the energy and resource sectors"

At Stanford University in Fall of 2012, she taught a course ENERGY 154: Energy in Transition: Technology, Policy and Politics.

Makani Power announced that Zoi was named in its board of directors at the start of 2013. Google purchased Makani Power in May 2013.

Energy Star Program
During her tenure at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Zoi founded the Energy Star Program.
The Energy Star program was created in the early 1990s by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in an attempt to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission by power plants. The program was developed by John S. Hoffman, inventor of the Green Programs at EPA, working closely with the IT industry, and implemented by Zoi and Brian Johnson. The program was intended to be part of a series of voluntary programs, such as Green Lights and the Methane Programs, that would demonstrate the potential for profit in reducing greenhouse gases and facilitate further steps to reducing global warming gases.

Initiated as a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy efficient products, Energy Star began with labels for computer and printer products. In 1995 the program was significantly expanded, introducing labels for residential heating and cooling systems and new homes. As of 2006, more than 40,000 Energy Star products are available in a wide range of items including major appliances, office equipment, lighting, home electronics, and more. In addition, the label can also be found on new homes and commercial and industrial buildings. In 2006, about 12 percent of new housing in the United States was labeled Energy Star. The EPA has estimated it saved about $14 billion in energy costs in 2006 alone. The Energy Star program has helped spread the use of LED traffic lights, efficient fluorescent lighting, power management systems for office equipment, and low standby energy use.

In 2008, the EPA announced Green Power Partnership program, which was designed to help achieve its goal of encouraging the use of renewable power sources. The renewable energy credits allow companies without direct access to renewable power achieve their goals. However, to avoid companies buying RECs years in advance of any of the hypothetical power ever being produced, RECs are only accepted into the program when the actual equivalent renewable power will be produced.

Controversy
Zoi had financial interests interest in two energy related companies while at the Department of Energy.  She owned stock in Landis+Gyr, a smart meter company, at the time of her Senate confirmation, and her husband, Robin Roy, was vice president for Policy of (and, with her, owned 120,000 stock options in) Serious Materials, a company that manufactures insulating windows.

Zoi's holdings were known to the Senate when she was confirmed, and she recused herself from decisions affecting her husband's previous company.

is a 1998 adventure game developed by FromSoftware for the PlayStation. It is the first game in the Echo Night series, following up with the Japan-exclusive Echo Night 2: The Lord of Nightmares in 1999, and Echo Night: Beyond in 2004. A port for the PlayStation Portable was included with Adventure Player, an adventure game creation tool, which was released in Japan on June 30, 2005. A fan translation  of the port was released in 2022, translating its title as Echo Night: The First Voyage.

The story revolves around Richard Osmond, the game's protagonist, and his journey to find out what happened to the ship Orpheus, which mysteriously disappeared from the sea. The story also uncovers the mystery of two stones that contain some kind of supernatural power.

Gameplay
Echo Night is played from a first-person perspective. When confronted by a ghost, the player must turn on the lights in the room by means of a light switch. The player is often transported into the past via the passengers or certain objects. Once the player fulfills a task important to a spirit, they will vanish and drop an "Astral Piece", which can be used to get a different ending scene.

Plot
The game starts with Richard at his apartment receiving a call from the Anchor Police Department regarding his father, Henry Osmond. Summoned to his father's house, Richard discovers his father's diary, which leads him to a train. He meets at the train a man named Henry Osmond, who is actually trying to pursue William Rockwell who, according to Henry, is being possessed by the Red Stone that is attached to a knife. They duel inside the train, but William uses his granddaughter, Crea Rockwell, as a defense against Henry. William then shot Henry, but the bullet hit the Blue Stone from the latter's chest. The Blue Stone was split into two, one half of which Henry gave to William's granddaughter, Crea. It is revealed then that William is being possessed by the demon of the Red Stone. After that, Richard is brought back to his father's house, where he discovers inside the secret room a painting of the ship, Orpheus.

Richard is brought to Orpheus and meets the passengers who died when the ship disappeared. Richard saves the souls he meets inside the ship by resolving their personal issues. As the game goes on, Richard discovers that the Red Stone which William possesses has the power to change one's destiny to their desire by killing people using the knife the Red Stone is attached to. Richard meets William's son and daughter, who are aware of the story of the Red Stone and plan to kill their father on the ship, but were killed by him first. Richard also meets Crea Rockwell through time travel, and is able to retrieve the Blue Stone. At the game's climax, Richard discovers that his father was on the ship too, and was able to kill William. But as soon as Henry gets hold of the stone, he proclaims that he desired the Red Stone all along. Richard is able to destroy the Red Stone using the Blue Stone. After the Red Stone is destroyed, Henry instructs Richard to leave the ship, and the ship itself disappears soon after.

If the player fails to leave the ship, an article states that Richard Osmond and his father were mysteriously lost in an accident. If the player reaches the nose of the ship and doesn't enter the secret passage, Crea saves Richard, who awakes in his father's house. He leaves the house and approaches the policemen in the car, who ask Richard to get tools from the trunk as the car won't start. When Richard opens up the trunk, he finds the red knife in there. Reaching the nose of the ship and entering the secret passage leads to a dialogue with a blind man, with two additional endings depending on the player's choice: if the player takes the red knife, Richard awakes in his father's house and kills the policemen, as he is now possessed by the red knife. Refusing to take the red knife destroys it, after which Crea saves Richard, with several scenes and messages from her being shown in the last scene at Richard's house.

Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu gave the game a 32 out of 40 score.

Op zoek naar Joseph (Looking for Joseph) was a 2008 talent show-themed television series produced by the AVRO in the Netherlands. It searched for a new, unknown lead to play Joseph in a 2009 Dutch revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The show was hosted by Frits Sissing, who announced Freek Bartels as the winner of the final public telephone vote on 26 October 2008.

It was the second Dutch talent show to be produced by the AVRO/Willem Nijholt, after Op zoek naar Evita. A third talent show, this time called Op zoek naar Mary Poppins aired in 2009, Op zoek naar Zorro aired in late 2010, Op zoek naar Annie aired in 2012, Op zoek naar Maria aired in 2021 and Op zoek naar Danny & Sandy aired in late 2022.

A similar format has been used as well in the United Kingdom in 2007, with the show Any Dream Will Do taking an unknown singer and placing the winner in the lead role for the 2007 performances in the West End. On 9 June 2007, Lee Mead was announced the winner of this show.

It is speculated that a Canadian edition will be produced in the wake of Mirvish Productions' production of the same musical.

Format

Expert panel
An expert panel provided advice to the contestants throughout the series, and provided comments during the live shows. The panel was made up of:
 Pia Douwes, (musical theatre actress who is very successful in Europe)
 Erwin van Lambaarts (managing director of Joop van den Ende theatre)
 Paul de Leeuw (television comedian, actor and singer)
 Willem Nijholt (head judge and actor and singer.)

Live finals
The final eleven contestants competed in the live studio finals held on Sunday nights over eight weeks. Each week the contestants sang and performed during the live show, receiving comments from the judges following their performance. The public then got a chance to vote for their favourite Joseph, and the two contestants with the fewest votes performed a sing-off in front of Nijholt, who then decided which Joseph to keep in the contest. This was repeated with the top ten, the top nine, the top eight, the top seven, the top six, the top five and the top four.

Nijholt had no say in the final casting decision, when in the concluding edition of the series it was left to the public to choose who should play Joseph out of the final two contenders, Freek Bartels and John Vooijs. After more votes were cast, the winning entrant was revealed as Bartels, who won a contract to play Joseph at the Stadsschouwburg in Amsterdam.

Finalists
Eleven potential Josephs made it through the auditions process to perform during the live shows.
