There are numerous elementary, secondary, and higher institutions of learning in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which is home to 500 public school districts, thousands of private schools, many publicly funded colleges and universities, and over 100 private institutions of higher education.

In general, under state law, school attendance in Pennsylvania is mandatory for a child from the age of 8 until the age of 17, or until graduation from an accredited high school, whichever is earlier.

 Pennsylvania has a high school graduation rate of 90.2% in 2018. Additionally, 27.5% have gone on to obtain a bachelor's degree or higher. In 2009, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that 87.9% of Pennsylvanians aged 25 or older have attained a high school diploma or better.

Primary and secondary education

Pennsylvania’s public schools are operated and funded under the authority of the General Assembly and local school boards, whose members are locally elected (serve 4 year terms). There are many types of public schools, including elementary, intermediate, middle school, junior high, high, junior-senior high, vocational-technical, people and charter schools. Each public school is headed by a school principal, who reports to the superintendent of schools appointed by the board of the school district.

There are 500 public school districts in Pennsylvania, consisting of 3,287 schools and 120 charter schools. Three school districts do not operate high schools: Midland Borough School District, Duquesne City School District and Saint Clair Area School District due to low enrollment coupled with financial constraints. As of the 2005-2006 school year, there were 1,871,060 students enrolled in public schools in Pennsylvania, of whom 74.6% were Caucasian, 15.9% were African-American, 6.8% were Hispanic, 2.6% were Asian/Pacific Islander, and 0.2% were Native Americans.   The average per pupil expenditure was $10,738, and the pupil/teacher ratio was 15.2:1.

As of the 2007-2008 school year, there were 265,545 students enrolled in private K-12 schools in Pennsylvania.

State students consistently do well in standardized testing.  In 2007, Pennsylvania ranked 14th in mathematics, 12th in reading, and 10th in writing for 8th grade students.

In 2004-2005, Pennsylvania elementary and secondary schools ranked 8th in revenue and 11th in spending out of 50 states and the federal district. In 2009 Pennsylvania spends $25 billion in public education when federal, state and local taxation dollars are combined.

Governance
Many regulations and programs regarding elementary, secondary, and higher education are administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, which is led by the secretary of education appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Pennsylvania State Senate.

The current secretary of education is Pedro A. Rivera, who was nominated by Governor Tom Wolf in January 2015, and confirmed by the state senate in June 2015.

The State Board of Education is the principal administrative regulatory body for elementary, secondary, and higher education in the state.  It has numerous responsibilities, including approving or disapproving an application for the creation of a new school district, or change in the boundaries of an existing school district; applying for and administering federal grants for education; adopting master plans for basic and higher education; and adopting policies for the secretary of education to apply in regulating schools and universities.

The State Board of Education has 22 members, ten of whom serve as the Board’s Council of Basic Education and ten of whom serve on the Board’s Council of Higher Education.  Seventeen members are appointed by the governor, with the approval of the Senate, and each serves a six-year term.  Four members of the board are members of the General Assembly who serve as long as they hold majority and minority chairs of the House and Senate Education Committees.  The current chairperson of the State Board of Education, also appointed by the governor, is Joe Torsella.  The secretary of education serves as the chief executive officer of the board and does not vote as a member of the board.

The state is divided into 29 intermediate units, which provide services to the 500 public school districts and 2,400 non-public institutions.

Higher education

There are dozens of notable private liberal arts colleges and universities located throughout Pennsylvania, as well as many publicly supported community colleges and universities.  The state provides funding to (1) the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, consisting of four universities; (2) the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, consisting of 14 universities; and (3) 14 community colleges.

Commonwealth System of Higher Education
The Commonwealth System of Higher Education consists of four prominent universities, which are publicly supported but are operated and controlled independently.  These institutions are:

Lincoln University (Pennsylvania), which serves approximately 2,000 students.
Pennsylvania State University, one of the ten largest public universities in the United States, which serves more than 84,000 undergraduate and graduate students at 24 campuses, the largest of which is in State College, Pennsylvania.
Temple University, which serves over 34,000 undergraduate and graduate students on several campuses in the Greater Philadelphia area.
University of Pittsburgh, which serves approximately 34,000 undergraduate and graduate students in western Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education consists of 14 universities in which more than 112,500 students are enrolled. It is led by a 20-member board of governors, each of whom serves a four-year term, with the exception of three students, who are chosen from among the universities’ student government association presidents and serve until graduation.  The members include individuals selected by the governor of Pennsylvania, and four legislators chosen by the majority and minority leaders of the state senate and House of Representatives.  The governor of Pennsylvania or a designee also is a board member, as is the state secretary of education.

Community colleges

Pennsylvania community colleges served 189,000 students in credit programs and over 256,000 students in non-credit programs during the 2005-2006 school year.  On average, annual 2005-2006 tuition and fees were $2,327. Many community college students transfer to four-year programs at colleges and universities.

Financial aid

The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency is a financial aid organization which provides grants, administers loans, and affords other services to post-secondary students.

History

Data from the indentured servant contracts of German immigrant children in Pennsylvania from 1771-1817 showed that the number of children receiving education increased from 33.3% in 1771-1773 to 69% in 1787-1804. Additionally, the same data showed that the ratio of school education versus home education rose from .25 in 1771-1773 to 1.68 in 1787-1804. The increase in the number of children being educated, and the fact that more students were being educated in school rather than at home, could help explain how near-universal literacy was achieved by 1840.

Until the Civil War, almost all education was conducted either in private schools or at home. Public schools first came on the scene in the second half of the nineteenth century.

The forerunner to the Pennsylvania Department of Education was created in 1834.  The State Board of Education, which adopts regulations for the department, was created in 1963.

German subculture

According to Elizabeth Pardoe, by 1748, the future of the German subculture in Pennsylvania was in doubt, and most of the attention focused on German language schools. Lutheran schools in Germantown and Philadelphia thrived, but most outlying congregations had difficulty recruiting students. Furthermore Lutherans were challenged by Moravians who actively recruited Lutherans to their schools. In the 1750s, Benjamin Franklin led a drive for free charity schools for German students, with the proviso that the schools would minimize Germanness. The leading Lutheran school in Philadelphia school had internal political problems in the 1760s, but Pastor Henry Melchior Muhlenberg resolved them. The arrival of John Christopher Kunze from Germany in 1770 gave impetus to the Halle model in America. Kunze began training clergy and teachers in the Halle system. Reverend Heinrich Christian Helmuth arrived in 1779 and called for preaching only in German, while seeking government subsidies. A major issue was the long-term fate of German culture in Pennsylvania, with most solutions focused on schools. Helmuth saw schools as central to the future of the ethnic community. However  most Lutheran clergy believed in assimilation and rejected Helmuth's call to drop English instruction. Kunze's seminary failed, but the first German college in the United States was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1787 as Franklin College; it was later renamed Franklin and Marshall College.

Higher education
The fourth-oldest institution of higher learning in America is the University of Pennsylvania, founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1740.

Lincoln University, founded in 1854 and later named for President Abraham Lincoln, was the nation’s first historically black university to provide arts and sciences education and degrees to African-American students.

Lee Fieldwick (born 6 September 1982) is an English retired former professional football left back who played in the Football League for Brentford and Swansea City. After his release from Brentford in 2004, he had a brief career in non-League football and later played amateur football.

Career

Brentford
A left back, Fieldwick began his career in the youth system at Brentford and signed his first professional contract in 2001. Illness and injury prevented Fieldwick from progressing into the first team squad during the 2001–02 season and he had to wait until 14 January 2003 for his first call into the team, when he was an unused substitute during a 2–1 Second Division defeat to Oldham Athletic. He made his senior debut with a start in a 1–0 victory over Luton Town on 22 February 2003 and finished an injury-hit 2002–03 season with seven appearances. Fieldwick signed a new two-year contract in May 2003 and was a regular pick in the squad during the first two months of the 2003–04 season, but managed only five appearances, with four starts and one as a substitute. He had dropped out of the squad entirely by December 2003 and departed on loan for the rest of the season on transfer deadline day in March 2004. Fieldwick was released by manager Martin Allen in late April 2004 and he departed having made just 12 appearances during three seasons as a professional at Griffin Park.

Swansea City (loan)
On 25 March 2003, Fieldwick joined Third Division club Swansea City on loan until the end of the 2003–04 season. He made five appearances before dropping out of the squad.

Non-league football
Fieldwick finished his career with a short spell in non-League football, playing for Conference South clubs Lewes, Maidenhead United, St Albans City and Bromley between 2004 and 2007. He later played for Southern Amateur League club West Wickham.

Andrej Komatovič (; born 4 September 1982), widely known as Andy Blueman , is a Slovenian trance producer. His release Time to Rest was included in Armin van Buuren's trance compilation A State Of Trance 2008, and Everlasting (Original Mix) was included in A State Of Trance Yearmix 2009. His work Florescence (Epic Mix) was also included in A State Of Trance Yearmix 2010. Five of his tracks were voted the track of the week (Future Favorite) on A State of Trance, and two of his other tracks won Trance Around the World's weekly web vote. Eleven of his tracks were voted among the greatest 1000 tracks in the history of trance music out of over 10,000 nominees in the first-ever (2010) Trance Top 1000 poll organized by Armada Music, even though he had only ever worked on 13 trance songs released by the time of the competition.

Music

Andy first discovered trance music in 1997 when he bought the album Dream Dance. Since then, his interest in trance music has grown, expanded and matured. Near the end of 2001, he started producing his own music, following his brother who had done the same the year before. Until recently, Andy was producing with a variety of tools and experimenting with different styles, such as ambient/chill out, melodic, progressive and uplifting trance.

In 2007, Perceptive Recordings had launched, and Andy's first track Nyctalopia was the first release on the label, with an extra Club Mix, and remixes by Onova and Will B. The release was a fantastic success. He decided to stay with Perceptive Recordings to release his music because they had a fair and amicable partnership. The popularity of Perceptive quickly grew with further singles including releases by Daniel Kandi and Adam Nickey.

Komatovič's uplifting trance music style includes the application of classical compositions, a genre many have called "Orchestral Uplifting" or "Uplifting Trance with Symphonic Orchestra". His first track, Nyctalopia, included a dramatic string ensemble in the breakdown, while still applying the same laws of Trance. His tracks Neverland and The World To Come both included an emotional breakdown with the use of eastern drums, and Everlasting included a piano solo.

His first E.P., Sea Tides, was released on February 23, 2009, and received hype by DJ's such as Tiësto,  Ferry Corsten and Armin van Buuren. It included three original tracks: Sea Tides, Neverland and Everlasting.  The E.P. also included a re-work of each of the tracks. These re-works still included all the same instruments, but both breakdown and main chorus melodies were changed.

Since the Sea Tides E.P., Komatovič has produced numerous remixes for various labels, including Armada and Anjunabeats, receiving hype from many DJ's including Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, and others. His work has influenced the production of more orchestral trance, and more upcoming and established producers are producing their tracks with extended emotional orchestral breakdowns, including SoundLift, Arctic Moon, Nery, Aly & Fila, Ciro Visone, Aeons Of Flight, and Sara Pollino within the uplifting scene and Ralph Fritsch and Roger Shah in other trance genres. During 2010, Blueman continued to produce remixes, for Blue Soho, Subculture, Abora Recordings, AVA, and Enhanced Recordings. His fourth single Florescence was released in July 2010 as another purely solo release on Perceptive Recordings.

Many of his tracks have been widely voted as among the best in trance music. Eleven of his tracks were each voted as one of the 1,000 greatest trance tracks of all time out of over 10,000 nominees in the inaugural (2010) Trance Top 1000 poll organized by Armada Music (the largest trance label in the world). These were Afternova - Serenity (Andy Blueman Remix), Time To Rest (Daniel Kandi Bangin' Mix), Sea Tides (Original Mix), Neverland (Energetic Mix), Everlasting (Original Mix), Nyctalopia (Original Mix), Nery - Redawn (Andy Blueman Remix), The World To Come (Andy Blueman Mix), Airbase - Roots (Andy Blueman Remix), Adam Nickey - In Motion (Andy Blueman Remix), Robert Nickson - Circles (Andy Blueman Remix). By the time of the competition, only 13 trance songs Komatovič had worked on had been released; this rate of 85% is amongst the highest of any producer in the history of trance music and is a testament to Komatovič's consistent high quality.

His songs have also been voted highly by listeners of A State of Trance, which has about 15 million listeners a week: Five songs -- Time to Rest (Live Guitar by Eller van Buuren Mix), Nyctalopia (Onova remix), Time To Rest (Original Mix), Armin van Buuren pres. Gaia – Tuvan (Andy Blueman remix), and Nery – Redawn (Andy Blueman remix)—were voted the corresponding week's Future Favorite. As for Trance Around the World and its 30 million listeners, two of Andrej's other tracks -- Ferry Tayle & Static Blue - L'Acrobat (Andy Blueman Remix) and Adam Nickey - In Motion (Andy Blueman Remix)—won the TATW web vote contest.

On 29 December 2010, Komatovič announced via his personal blog that he would quit the trance scene, having lost his passion for trance music. He would instead focus on producing pieces of his favourite type of music: orchestral film-like music.

On 12 July 2013, he announced that he would come back to composing trance music. Subsequently, he released two singles on Armada Music in collaboration with Driftmoon and DSharp. The first one (Exodus) won the Future Favorite vote on A State of Trance and reached #2 on the Beatport trance singles charts. Then, in 2015, he released an artist album on Abora Recordings of older but never-heard-before trance and chillout tracks called "Andy Blueman 2002-2005: The Beginning". The album was also released on CD. Two of its tracks (Imagination and Cloudland) won the Fan Favorite vote on Ori Uplift's Uplifting Only radio show.

On 4 September 2018, he released Beyond the World We Know after a long hiatus from trance.  Alongside the original, he released the Zen Mix, the Ethnic Mix, along with unmastered and extended mixes.

George E. Hargest (August 26, 1906 – February 5, 1983) of Florida, was a philatelist who specialized in the study of the overseas use of United States mails.

Personal life
Hargest was born in Brooklyn, NY to Archibald T. and Jessie E. Hargest.  He started collecting stamps when he was twelve years old.  His interest waned when he was in college and graduate school so he sold his collection to help defray the cost.  He received his bachelor's degree from Temple University where he was a member of Sigma Pi fraternity.  He started collecting again in 1939 but didn't become interested in transatlantic mail until 1955.  He worked as an associate professor of Accounting at Clark University in Worcester, MA.  Dr. Hargest was married to his wife, Lois, and had one son named Jay.  In his later years he moved to Florida for health reasons.

Collecting interests
Hargest collected and studied classic stamps of the United States as well as United States foreign mail.

Philatelic literature
He was an expert on the subject and wrote The History of Letter Post Communications Between the United States and Europe, 1845-1875 which was published by the Smithsonian Institution in 1971 and 1975.  Before the publication of this book there were no texts on the operation of all the mail systems set up by U.S.-foreign country postal conventions.

Hargest was named editor-in-chief of The Chronicle of U.S. Classic Postal Issues, a journal of  the United States Philatelic Classics Society, in 1963 and held the position until 1966.  He continued to contribute articles as the editor of the transatlantic mails section.

His research was aided by his close proximity to the libraries at Clark University, the American Antiquarian Society, and Worcester County Law.  In 1965 he was granted a sabbatical which he spent at the Smithsonian Institution studying 237 pieces of transatlantic mail in their collection.

Honors and awards
Hargest received numerous honors, including the Crawford Medal in 1972 and the Luff Award in 1980 for Distinguished Philatelic Research. He was named to the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame in 1984.

Pathinaaru () is a 2011 Tamil-language romantic drama film written and directed by Sabapathy Dekshinamurthy, who previously directed the films V.I.P (1997), Punnagai Poove (2003) and A Aa E Ee (2009). It stars Shiva and Madhu Shalini. The film's background score and soundtrack was composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. After being launched in October 2008 under the title 16, the film was shot for over one year, wrapping in early 2010. A year after completion, Kalaipuli S. Thanu bought the distribution rights and released the film on 28 January 2011 under his V. Creations banner. However, it was financially unsuccessful. Despite that, it was remade as Jolly Boy in Kannada language.

Plot
Shiva (Shiva) and Indhu (Madhu Shalini) are college students who both fall in love with each other. However, Indhu's father Gopalakrishnan (Abhishek) and mother (Amritha) oppose their love as they do not trust love and try to convince Indhu for which she does not agree. One day, Indhu's mother gives a book titled "Pathinaru" and asks Shiva and Indhu to read so that they might change their opinions about love.

Now the story moves back to a village in 1980s which describes a teenage love between Gopi (Kishore Kumar) and Ilavarasi (Vinitha). Gopi is from a poor family, while Ilavarasi is from an affluent family in the same village. When her parents find out about their love, they try all means to separate them. Finally, Gopi and Ilavarasi decide to run away from the village, but they are caught by their parents.

Ilavarasi goes to the extent of abandoning her family and wealth for the sake of Gopi. She asks Gopi in front of villagers to buy her a saree with his income, so that she can wear that and leave the village as she does not want any of her ancestral wealth and she waits for Gopi's arrival. Gopi goes to a nearby town to earn some money so that he can buy her a saree, but he meets with an accident and goes unconscious. Gopi is saved by a lorry driver and is admitted in a hospital. He recovers after a few months and returns to the village to meet Ilavarasi, but is shocked to know that her wedding is on the same day with someone. Gopi is shocked and leaves the village with sorrows.

The book ends there, and Indhu's mother reveals that Gopi is none other than Indhu's father Gopalakrishnan. She also convinces Indhu that Gopi transformed into Gopalakrishnan, which made him successful in life rather than keep worrying about his failed love. Now, Indhu doubts the credibility of love and decides to accept her parents' words.

But Shiva tries to find the whereabouts of Ilavarasi and leaves to the village. After meeting many people, Shiva finds the place where Ilavarasi is currently and goes to meet her. He also takes Gopalakrishnan with him. Gopalakrishnan is shocked to see Ilavarasi (Kasthuri), who now runs an orphanage in the memory of Gopi. Gopalakrishnan gets to know that Ilavarasi did not agree for the wedding and came away from her family and till the time she lives with memory of Gopi. Gopalakrishnan feels guilty but understands the power of true love and decides to get Shiva and Indhu married.

With initial plans of releasing the film for Pongal 2009, the film was officially launched under the title 16 on 15 October 2008 at the office of the production company, Passion Movie Makers, who are stepping into film production with this project, Radio jockey-turned-actor Shiva, who rose to fame through his appearances in Chennai 600028 (2007) and Saroja (2008), revealed that he had signed this film after Chennai 600028 even, which commenced only after the release of his second film Saroja. Darbuka Siva, a percussionist in various bands, who also worked as a radio jockey together with Shiva, was signed for an important role as was the controversial director Velu Prabhakaran. The first schedule of film shooting started on 3 November 2008, when scenes involving Shiva, Darbuka Siva, and Madhu Shalini were shot across the East Coast Road in Tamil Nadu. Subsequently, shooting was held at various places including Chennai, Ooty and Kodaikanal. Despite being made on a low budget and featuring a relatively new cast, the film mired in development hell, with filming, which was supposed to be completed within two months, being carried on through entire 2009, and finished in January 2010 only. Following the completion, however, the film's release still got delayed further, since it also languished in post-production hell. However, noted film producer and distributor Kalaipuli S. Thanu, after watching a preview screening of the film, decided to take over the film's theatrical rights and distribute it under his V. Creations banner in entire Tamil Nadu.

Soundtrack

The film score and soundtrack of Pathinaaru were composed by Shiva's friend Yuvan Shankar Raja, collaborating with Sabapathy again after Punnagai Poove in 2003. Notably, Yuvan Shankar worked for this film without receiving any remuneration as it would have overrun the film's whole budget. The soundtrack album, considered the highlight of the film, features four songs along with a theme music track. The songs were composed in 2008 and recorded later that year and the next year, with the album being ready for release by July 2009. For a song in the flashback portion of the film, Yuvan Shankar Raja made his brother Karthik Raja sing, which is the first solo song of him under Yuvan Shankar's direction. Apart from Karthik Raja, Yuvan Shankar Raja himself, along with Hariharan, Shankar Mahadevan, and Bela Shende have sung the songs. The soundtrack album was eventually released on 24 December 2010 in a small manner, with S. P. B. Charan and Samuthirakani being present along with the film crew. Prior and during the time of the film's audio launch, Yuvan Shankar Raja was featured on the film posters, by which the producer promoted the film and the album.

The album as well as the film score received very positive reviews and critical acclaim. Pavithra Srinivasan from Rediff cited that "'Yuvan's Musical' is worth a listen", further adding that Pathinaaru "might have plenty of Yuvan's signature tunes, but there are moments of appeal that give some depth to the album, and veer away from his template". In regards to the score, she wrote that it "fits the film and adds some depth to it." A review from Behindwoods described Pathinaarus music as "youthful and lovely to the ears", further claiming that "lovely orchestrations, right chords and soulful voices make Pathinaaru a worthy album to have in your collection." Times of India and Indiaglitz further addressed high praise to Yuvan Shankar Raja, with a critic from the former, N. Venkateswaran, noting that Yuvan was "in superb form in this romantic album both as composer and singer", while a review from the latter labelled Yuvan Shankar Raja as the "real hero of the movie", particularly lauding his score, citing that "his re-recording especially for the rural episode is mind-boggling."

Profondo Rosso (or Deep Red) is a film soundtrack album for the film of the same name mainly composed and performed by the Italian progressive rock band Goblin, the band's first collaboration with director Dario Argento.

Argento had originally contacted jazz pianist and composer Giorgio Gaslini to score the film, but he was unhappy with his output, deeming it "awful". After failing to get Pink Floyd to write music for the film, Argento turned back to Italy and found Goblin. In the final score, only three of Gaslini's original themes were retained; however, in the film's original theatrical release, Gaslini was given full composer credit for the entire score, while Goblin were wrongly credited only as performers [i.e. "Music by Giorgio Gaslini, performed by Goblin"]. This was corrected in subsequent home video releases.

Style and influences
Allmusic describes the score of Profondo Rosso as "an ambitious affair that blends jazz, prog rock, and heavy metal into an effective and totally distinctive style" and "Deep Shadows" as "a frenetic slice of King Crimson-style jazz-rock". The title track reached number one in Italy.

Track listing

Original album release (1975)

"Profondo Rosso" – 4:56

Notes

Tracks 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25 and 26 on this release are composed, orchestrated and conducted by Giorgio Gaslini; all other tracks are composed and performed by Goblin (Simonetti, Morante, Pignatelli, Martino), conducted by Giorgio Gaslini on track 7. All tracks marked as "Album version" in the CD track list are identical to the tracks on the original album, except for the main theme "Profondo Rosso", the original album version of which is a montage of several music excerpts from the film. The original album version of "Mad Puppet", which was also a montage, is not included on the CD, which however features the uncut, longer recording of the piece. In the liner notes of the CD release, Claudio Simonetti states that the original album includes heavily edited versions of the pieces as originally recorded, because of time constraints (at the time, fully instrumental soundtrack albums issued by smaller labels could have a maximum duration of 25/30 minutes); therefore the album does not represent his or the band's intentions for the presentation of the soundtrack, while the CD does.

Personnel
Walter Martino – drums, percussion
Massimo Morante – electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bouzouki, vocals
Fabio Pignatelli – Fender Precision Bass (fretless), Rickenbacker bass (fretted), tabla, acoustic guitar, vocals

Shamva Station
This is a typical Rhodesian Railways station building, dismantled and moved from Shamva to the museum to serve as the main reception. It consists of a ticketing office with most of the notice boards and equipment (rain gauge, fire extinguishers, etc) a railway station was expected to have during Rhodesian Railway times.

Main Hall
This hall was once the mechanical workshop of the Bulawayo station. In it can be found much of the mechanical equipment used there and at the station. There is also a wall of fame of Chief Mechanical Engineers since the start of Rhodesia Railways until 2013. This hall houses the most important exhibits at the Museum.

Management and Ownership
The Museum is owned by National Railways of Zimbabwe, but before that it was owned and formed by Rhodesia Railways. It is managed by Mr. Gordon Murray, a long serving member of the company but subsequently a pensioner.

"We're Almost There" is a 1975 song released as a single by American singer Michael Jackson, the first release from his final Motown album, Forever, Michael.

Background
As Jackson's voice changed a bit, Motown found it difficult to find material to suit the 16-year-old Jackson, who had sung in a higher voice for most of the duration of his Motown tenure. With the return of the Holland brothers Brian and Edward, Motown had the duo write a collection of songs to fit Jackson's age.

Reception
Cash Box said that "sweet strings soar high above a polished production as Michael Jackson's sugary vocal slides sexily along." Record World said that "it's the youthful
Jackson's first single in almost two years, but well worth the wait."

Charts
The duo composed this song and the modest hit, "Just a Little Bit of You", which became a top forty hit after this single was released. Performing more modestly, the song eventually peaked at number 54 on the pop chart while hitting number 7 on the R&B chart. These two singles would end up being the last Jackson released as an active Motown artist though the label continued to release Jackson singles until 1984.

Credits
Lead and backing vocals by Michael Jackson
Produced by Brian Holland

Samples and covers
The song was covered by Alicia Keys and featured on the bonus disc of the 'Empire Edition' of her 2009 album, The Element of Freedom.

The song was later sampled on the 2010 hip-hop release "Our Dreams" on the Wu-Massacre album and on the 2009 hip-hop release "Almost There" on the Poindexter mixtape by Donald Glover.

The Adelaide Super-Drome is located at Adelaide, South Australia's State Sports Park, Main North Road, Gepps Cross. The Super-Drome was designed by Architect Carlo Gnezda and was opened in 1993. From 1993 the venue was managed and promoted by 1984 Olympic Games Men's team pursuit gold medalist Michael Turtur. He was assisted by the venue's track designer Ron Webb in bringing out international competitors.

It is the headquarters for the Australian Institute of Sport’s Track Cycling Program due to its fully accredited international-standard training and competition facilities, for Adelaide's mild climate, and for being a short distance to the Adelaide Hills.

Events and Usage
The Super-Drome has hosted international events and has been used as a training base for teams competing in Michael Turtur's Tour Down Under which is run annually in Adelaide and the surrounding countryside since 1999. The Super-Drome was also the site of the 2011 Oceania Track Championships.

It is a popular destination for international track cycling teams looking for a unique environment for a training camp prior to competitions in Adelaide and other States in Australia.

On many weeknights the Super-Drome is the venue for the South Australian Futsal League, where all matches are played.

Facilities
The indoor velodrome is a 250m international standard timber track made from specially specified Nordic Pine with 43° banking in the turns, constructed under the supervision of British velodrome specialist Ron Webb, while 3,000 spectators are accommodated in fixed tiered seating. On the upper level there is a large corporate function room with catering and bar facilities which has excellent views over the track. On this level there is a separate equipped media room.

In the centre of the cycling track is a multipurpose concrete floor used for various sports which once had a swimming pool set up on the tracks infield as part of a triathlon course.

It is the location for the headquarters and office of Cycling South Australia.

Perfluorotripentylamine is a perfluorocarbon. It is used as an electronics coolant, and has a high boiling point.  It is colorless, odorless, and insoluble in water.  Unlike ordinary amines, perfluoroamines are of low basicity.  Perfluorinated amines are components of fluorofluids, used as immersive coolants for supercomputers.

It is prepared by electrofluorination of the amine using hydrogen fluoride as solvent and source of fluorine:
N(C5H11)3  +  33 HF   →   N(C5F11)3  +  33 H2

Safety
Fluoroamines are generally of very low toxicity, so much that they have been evaluated as synthetic blood.

Smoke Rise is an upscale residential community in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States, located northeast of Atlanta in the City of Tucker, incorporated in 2016. It is located north of the city of Stone Mountain on the Eastern side of the city of Tucker. The main road through Smoke Rise is Hugh Howell Road (Georgia Route 236). Smoke Rise is a part of the city of Tucker, and is near the Gwinnett-DeKalb county line. The local public schools are Smoke Rise Elementary School, Tucker Middle School and Tucker High School.

Local History

Native American families certainly made campsites in this area as early as 12,000 years ago. These earliest inhabitants seem to have been nomadic in habit, traveling in groups which followed the migration patterns of game animals.

A neighborhood landmark, Stone Mountain, received its first mention in print about 1600. A Spanish explorer told the tales he heard about a mountain in Georgia, "very high, shining when the sun set like a fire." Within the next hundred years the area around the mountain was criss-crossed with trading paths which connected native settlements with the Atlantic coast and the Chattahoochee River. Many of those trails are now local highways with evocative names such as Rockbridge, which refers to an easy natural crossing site on the Yellow River. The only undisturbed path from the years of Native American inhabitation here is the footpath which goes up the west slope of Stone Mountain. Humans have taken that route for centuries and do so daily even today.

The Cherokee Nation occupied the northern part of Georgia by the 17th century. This area was part of a vast woodland reserved for hunting by both Cherokees and their southern neighbors, the Muscogee tribes. European settlers soon began filtering up from the settled areas of the coast. Though treaties and federal policy protected the Cherokee and Muscogee claims to their land, various strategies were employed by the state of Georgia to open large tracts of land to white settlement. The area lay in a parcel which was ceded to the State of Georgia by the Muscogee in 1821.

In December 1822, DeKalb County was incorporated from that land. The county was named for Johann de Kalb, a Prussian general who died fighting for the United States during the Revolution. The county seat, placed at the intersection of two great Native American trading paths, was named after the naval hero Stephen Decatur. The county itself was settled by a novel method designed to discourage land speculation. The new county was surveyed and divided into  lots. They were given out in a lottery for deserving veterans and other eligible citizens of Georgia. The early settlers of DeKalb tended to be farmers, mainly Scots, Irish and English families. They grew corn, cleared their own land, built sawmills and grist mills and rarely owned slaves. Their names are still found on local maps, attached to roads which wind through former fields: Rosser, McCurdy. These yeoman families gave DeKalb its first justices of the peace, doctors and ministers, as well as its soldiers in the Civil War. Armies of the North and South swept through this area in the summer of 1864 during the days of the Battle of Atlanta, fighting over the railroad lines going to the city.

After the war, the area was farmed again and the primary crop tended to be cotton. Extensive terracing on slopes in the neighborhood show where farmers a hundred years ago struggled to grow cotton on the hilly terrain. The town of Tucker began to grow where farm roads crossed the new Seaboard line. The village of Stone Mountain clustered around the extensive quarrying operations there. There are few traces in the neighborhood of these late 19th century developments, though anecdote suggests that a blacksmith's shop once stood on Silver Hill Road, near a one-room schoolhouse. The oldest home in the neighborhood, barely visible from Silver Hill, is a cottage built for the school marm. Silver Hill, one of the oldest roads in the neighborhood, makes its first appearance on a 1915 map of DeKalb County. It was a dirt road then and remained so until the late 1960s.

Cotton farming became even more of an uphill struggle with the onset of the cotton boll weevil. During the Depression, farmers left their fields for opportunities elsewhere. Several of the farms which were in the area were purchased in the late 1930s by an Atlanta attorney named Hugh Howell. The tract of land he assembled near Stone Mountain seems to have been intended for hunting and entertaining purposes. He built a country house with access to the road that would become the Stone Mountain Freeway. The road that bears his name was a later addition, a dirt track which connected Lawrenceville Highway and the village by the mountain.

Howell decided to sell his acreage for development in the late 1950s. He insisted that land be set aside for a new school, which is now Smoke Rise Elementary. An early subdivision attracted pioneer families for whom a call to Atlanta rang up a long distance charge. A single postman in a pickup truck delivered mail and the only building between the neighborhood and Tucker was the DuPont plant (which has since been replaced by the Publix shopping center). Hunting hounds whooped through the fields in autumn and a search party was once organized to find a child lost in the deep woods off Rosser Road.

The Smoke Rise name was coined by developer Bill Probst, who is responsible for many of the first homes built in the next phase of development, Smoke Rise, during the 1960s. Neighborhoods began to form up and down Hugh Howell as land changed hands. The McCurdy family's farm and hunting fields became the Forest, for example; the family name remained on the road which led through the property.

VERSAdos is an operating system dating back to the early 1980s for use on the Motorola 68000 development system called the EXORmacs which featured the VERSAbus and an array of option cards. They were typically connected to CDC Phoenix disk drives running one to four 14-inch platters. The EXORmacs was used to emulate a 680xx processor in-circuit, speeding development of 680xx based systems. It also hosted several compilers and assemblers.

VERSAdos and the EXORmacs were produced by Motorola's Microsystems Division.

Overview
VERSAdos was a real-time, multi-user operating system. It was the follow on product to the single user MDOS that ran the 6800 development system called the EXORciser.

Both systems features a harness with a CPU socket compatible connector.

A Modula 2 compiler was ported to VERSAdos.

Commands
The following list of commands and utilities are supported by VERSAdos.

Denver Boone was the official mascot of the University of Denver (DU) from 1968 to 1998. He was designed by a Walt Disney Company artist and named by a DU student. Having been retired and replaced by the DU administration in 1998, he was revived by DU students and alumni in 2009 and appeared at campus events as an unofficial mascot until 2018 until the character was banned from the DU Campus as part of a selectively-enforced university mask ban.  After 2018,  Denver Boone still appears at selected off-campus sporting, cultural and charity events in Denver and around the nation.

Original Denver Boone

In 1968, DU wished to update the previous mascot, Pioneer Pete, who served DU from the 1930s to the late 1960s. The DU Basketball coach Stan Albeck contacted an artist at Walt Disney Studio through a DU contact. Disney Studios drew up designs for DU, an updated, softer cartoon version of a previous DU mascot named Pioneer Pete, which Disney named "Pioneer", and passed to the DU Theatre Department, which developed the first costume. His brand appearance is a beard coonskin hat, like what a frontiersman would wear.

DU's Special Events Committee held a contest in the fall of 1968 to find a nickname for the new Pioneer. The contest was announced on the Clarion on October 2, 1968. DU undergraduate Steve Kiley won the contest with the suggestion "Denver Boone". DU student Doug Hirsh became the first of many people to play Denver Boone. Boone appeared on many of DU's sports uniforms and many editions of the Clarion, as well as making appearances at May Days, Winter Carnival, and other DU events.

Boone was nearly replaced during the 1983-84 school year as the student body was calling for a more masculine prototype. However, few alternative mascots were developed, and efforts to replace Boone, including a contest sponsored by the Clarion, were unsuccessful. In 1985-86, a poll among students found that a large majority of students approved of Boone. Pete Castro became the next person to play Boone.

Boone continued to serve until the late 1990s as the institution's official mascot.

Retirement
In 1998, the Department of Athletics and Recreation began an effort to return all of DU's athletic teams to Division-I competition, along with the opening of a new $75 million athletic facility. As part of an effort to rebrand DU's athletic image, the administration at that time saw an opportunity to replace Denver Boone. As well as the mascot's association with the NCAA Division II era of Denver sports, Boone was seen as not representative of Denver's emerging female athletes, and Native Americans on campus had expressed concerns that Boone was a representative of the western extinction of Native American culture. In this context, the University retained the Pioneer nickname, but created a red-tailed hawk mascot and logo to replace Boone, saying that "red-tailed hawks were present when the Pioneers settled Colorado". Public reaction was lukewarm; several costumed versions of the Red Tailed Hawk (now named "Ruckus") were created, but few made the connection to the Pioneers.

Unofficial return
By 2006, a campaign had started to bring back Denver Boone. In 2008, a survey found that 87% of the DU community supported reviving the character. Nonetheless, on October 20, 2008, Chancellor Robert Coombe rejected the proposal in an email to students, saying that Boone "does not reflect the broad diversity of the DU community". The issue was covered by the Denver Post, NBC affiliate KUSA, and ABC affiliate KMGH. Editorials by Valerie Richardson in The Washington Times and Mike Rosen in the Rocky Mountain News were highly critical of the administration.

By this point, DU had effectively retired Ruckus, and in November 2008, the university announced its intention to choose a new mascot, though the debate over Denver Boone continued. In a letter to students and alumni on the matter, Chancellor Coombe acknowledged that "Boone is a part of our history, one that is treasured by many alumni and friends as a symbol of the University they knew three and four decades ago". He added that "we are certainly an institution that honors its past. Hence it seems reasonable that students and alumni be allowed to use the image as a celebration of that past, to the extent that they may choose".

Therefore, in early January 2009, a group of alumni suggested resurrecting Denver Boone themselves as an unofficial mascot. Several mascot companies were contacted for designs and costings, and a grassroots effort organized via the LetsGoDU blog raised thousands of dollars for the initiative.

Alumni appealed for essay applications for candidates to portray the mascot, and DU student Scott Fuson was selected, and sent to Raymond Entertainment Group's Mascot Boot Camp, a trip fully funded by DU alumni donors. The alumni also stated that the new mascot should be committed to promoting diversity and partnering with a broad array of student groups, and the university administration reciprocated by allowing the mascot to appear on campus and at events.

The new Boone mascot was designed with an "ethnically ambiguous" skin tone and four fingers on each hand, to indicate that he should be perceived as character and not a living human being. Boone was officially unveiled by students and alumni at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., as part of the 2009 NCAA Frozen Four celebrations.

As of 2022, the unofficial Boone mascot has appeared at many DU athletic events and campus functions and in some promotional videos. The character has also appeared at DU athletic events in Boston, Minneapolis, Madison, Baltimore, Annapolis, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Chicago, Providence, Buffalo, Tampa, Houston, College Station Newark, Delaware, St. Paul, Minnesota, Phoenix and Washington, D.C., on alumni-funded trips.

On February 27, 2013, the Undergraduate Student Government passed a bill barring student organizations from Undergraduate Student Government funding for items featuring the Boone image, as the university prepared to adopt a new mascot selected by a student-led task force. However, the bill's opponents claimed that the Undergraduate Student Government was acting on their behalf without their knowledge or permission.

In 2013, DU tried to create a new mascot to replace Denver Boone with a 76-member committee, but the DU board of trustees had to stop the process when 8,000+ voters were effectively split on the three underwhelming options offered.

In 2018, the unofficial Boone mascot costume was banned from DU campus under a "no mask" policy, enacted by the DU Board of Trustees as "protection from terrorism." However, the mask ban was called into question when the DU Director of Campus Security told the Denver Post that school mascots from other schools would be allowed on campus, while the chancellor's office confirmed that DU would not allow the Boone costume, even if the person wearing it was vetted by DU security prior to the event.

Sprout Creek is a  creek located entirely within Dutchess County, New York, United States. It is the largest tributary of Fishkill Creek, entering that creek some  upstream from the Hudson River. The creek is annually stocked with 6,000 brown trout, and maintains its own natural population of trout.

Course
Sprout Creek begins in Millbrook, at  in elevation. Paralleling Oak Summit Road, the creek flows generally southward towards New York State Route 82, where it passes through Verbank. The creek turns towards the west, though after reaching Verbank Village, it resumes its southwestern course. It turns around several small hills and mountains, and later intersects New York State Route 55. Shortly thereafter, Sprout Creek crosses the Taconic State Parkway; it soon receives Jackson Creek. The Jackson Creek watershed covers  of land, draining a large portion of Union Vale into Sprout Creek, and has a small annual stocking of around 700 brown trout. Sprout Creek continues generally towards the southwest, and later towards the south, before once again passing under Route 82. The bridge over the creek, located in the town of Fishkill, was built in 1934. At  long, the bridge carried an AADT of 19,400 vehicles as of February 2006. In 1722, William Verplanck constructed a dam across the creek. He also built a grinding mill on the creek's banks; during the American Revolution, this mill ground a large quantity of grain for the soldiers stationed at Fishkill. The creek ends at the Fishkill Creek, just north of New York State Route 52. Sprout Creek also passes through Sprout Creek Farm, an educational farm, in the town of LaGrange.

Watershed
Comprising 24% of the overall Fishkill Creek watershed, the Sprout Creek subwatershed encompasses about  of land—of which 17% was being used for agricultural purposes in 2000. The creek's quality is described as "good" by the Fishkill Creek Watershed Committee, though agricultural operations, sewer treatment plants, and septic systems led to pollution at certain times during a study from 1973 to 2002. It drains portions of La Grange, Union Vale, Wappinger, and East Fishkill.

One of only three trout creeks in Dutchess County, the creek is annually stocked with 6,000 brown trout; wild trout are also present. A group of local residents formed the Sprout Creek Association, after the operation of a nearby rock mine prompted concerns about the creek's environmental health.

Arthur Anthony Anderson (October 9, 1936 – February 25, 2021) was a professional American football offensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL). He is one of the few tackles to prevent Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Deacon Jones from accomplishing any sacks in a game (1961 season). His teammates on the Chicago Bears under George Halas included Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees Stan Jones (his close friend), Doug Atkins, and 1961 rookie Mike Ditka.

Early years

Anderson grew up in Wahpeton, North Dakota on the Minnesota state line, in a house his grandfather built. His father was Arthur Albin Anderson, the first North Dakota Highway Patrolman stationed in Wahpeton (6th in North Dakota), appointed in 1936. Because of the similarity of their names, the family called him Tony. He went to a Catholic grade school, and lettered in all three sports at Wahpeton High School where his basketball team won the State Class A Championship in 1954.

Football career

Anderson wanted to attend Notre Dame University, but the University of Idaho offered scholarships, so he went to Moscow for tryouts. He started as a freshman and was a member of Skip Stahley's Idaho Vandals all four years in the PAC-9 conference. In Idaho, Anderson took the field with other future NFL players, including Jerry Kramer and Wayne Walker. In 1957–58 Kramer and Walker made the second all-PCC team; Anderson and teammates Ken Hall and Larry Aldrich received honorable mention on the all-PCC team. Upon graduation in 1958, he had the choice to enlist in the military or be drafted, so he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and was stationed in San Diego. He was spotted in boot-camp and was able to play football for the duration of his military service. Anderson played for three years with the USMC, and was named to the All-Marine Football Team and All-Sea Service Team in 1959 and 1960. Upon discharge, he was recruited to play for the Chicago Bears. His signing bonus was $750. After two seasons playing for George Halas with the Bears (1961 and 1962), Anderson was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers where he played for one more season (1963).

Personal life and other accomplishments

Following his tour in the Marine Corps and into the early 1990s, Anderson was featured in two San Diego Hall of Champions Museum exhibits: for a dead-lifting weight record (>500 lb); and as a member of the 1959 undefeated champion Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego USMC Devildogs football team. Anderson married Sharon Hicks in 1961, a San Diego State University majorette, and their son was born in 1963. After Anderson retired from the NFL, he returned to San Diego where he and his wife had three more children.

Anderson became a teacher in San Diego and was chosen to be swim coach at Clairemont High School in 1965. He received his master's degree in Physical Education from Azusa Pacific University.

James Edmund Halligan (June 23, 1936October 25, 2022) was an  American state senator from Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University president. Halligan defeated Robert "Bob" Murphy in 2008, gaining a Republican seat in the state senate and helping to deliver his party control for the first time in state history.

Early life
Halligan was born in Moorland, Iowa, on June 23, 1936.  He joined the US Air Force and served for four years as a Bulgarian translator.  He then studied chemical engineering at Iowa State University, obtaining his undergraduate, master's, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from that institution.

Academic career
After being awarded his doctorate, Halligan was briefly employed in the petroleum industry.  He subsequently taught as a faculty member, and served as department chair and dean of engineering at the University of Arkansas, Texas Tech University, and New Mexico State University (NMSU).  He was appointed president of NMSU in 1984 and served in that capacity for a decade before becoming the sixteenth president of Oklahoma State University (OSU) on August 1, 1994.

During his tenure at OSU, Halligan emphasized increasing retention and graduation rates, halting a 12-year trend of decreasing student enrollments.  He also encouraged the development of national scholars, and investing more than $200 million in student facilities on campus, including multi-media classrooms and suite-style student accommodation.  Halligan oversaw the university's first capital campaign that ultimately raised more than $260 million, which was over twice the initial goal.  He also contributed towards "Raise the Roof" for Gallagher-Iba Arena, which was named by CBS Sportsline as the country's best college basketball venue in 2001.  OSU was recognized as "America's Best College Buy" and a "Truman Honor Institution" under his leadership.

Throughout his presidency, Halligan and his wife hosted thousands of OSU students in their home every year.  They also promoted events run by students such as Orange Peel, Homecoming, Varsity Review and Into the Streets.  They were credited with steering the university through the aftermath of the plane crash in January 2001 that killed ten members of the Oklahoma State Cowboys basketball team and their flight crew.  He announced his retirement in May 2002.

Political career
Halligan ran for state senator in Oklahoma's 21st district (encompassing Stillwater) and was elected.  He served two terms in that capacity and was a member of various committees, including appropriations, education, energy, business and commerce, finance, and rules.  During his time in the Oklahoma Senate, Halligan voted in favor of an independent audit of the state department of education, and against the repeal of the state grocery sales tax.  He also authored a bill passed in February 2015 that banned the use of tobacco on campuses.  On August 12, 2015, Halligan released a statement through the Oklahoma State Senate announcing that he would not seek reelection to a third term and that the 2016 legislative session would be his last.

Personal life
Halligan was married to Ann until his death.  Together, they had three children: Mike, Pat and Chris.  After retiring from Oklahoma State, he resided in Stillwater.

Halligan died on the morning of October 25, 2022, at Integris Hospital in Oklahoma City.  He was 86 years old.
