John Houston Stockton (September 23, 1901 – April 27, 1967) was a professional football player, a back in the late 1920s in the National Football League (NFL). He played with the Frankford Yellow Jackets from 1925 until 1928, and was a member of Yellow Jackets' 1926 NFL Championship team. During his final season in 1929, Stockton split time between the Boston Bulldogs and the Providence Steamroller. He was the grandfather of basketball Hall of Fame inductee, John Stockton, who played point guard for the National Basketball Association's Utah Jazz from 1984 to 2003.

Early years
Born in Parma, Idaho, Stockton set high school football scoring records as a back at Columbia Prep in Portland, Oregon. Originally enrolled at St. Mary's College, then in Oakland, California, he transferred as a sophomore in 1922 to Gonzaga in Spokane, Washington, where he played baseball and football. A triple-threat halfback, Stockton threw passes to Ray Flaherty, a future member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and their head coach was Gus Dorais, who popularized the passing game as a player at Notre Dame with teammate Knute Rockne. While in college, Stockton was compared to the top back of the era, Red Grange of Illinois.

Professional career
During a Thanksgiving Day game in 1926, a pass from Stockton to Two-Bits Homan netted the Yellow Jackets a 20–14 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Stockton made the same pass to Homan again that season, this time against the Chicago Cardinals for a 7–6 Frankford win. In 1928, against the Chicago Cardinals, Stockton threw an 18-yard pass to Carl Waite for a 19–0 win for the Jackets.
At the start of his last season in 1929, Stockton and former Gonzaga teammate Flaherty were in training camp with the New York Giants.

Stockton was an assistant coach at his alma mater Gonzaga during the 1927 season.

After football
Following his football career, he was briefly a professional wrestler in Spokane, and worked for the highway department in Idaho.

Egypt is a small rural community approximately twelve miles east of Centerville in eastern Leon County. Settlement probably occurred in the late 1800s or early 1900s. In the 1930s a school served area families. Though the community was still shown on highway maps in 2000, no population figures were available. It is now considered a ghost town.

North Aston is a village and civil parish about  south of Banbury and  north of Oxford. The 2001 Census recorded its population as 212. The 2011 Census did not publish its population separately, but gave a combined total of 316 for the parishes of North Aston and Middle Aston.  The village is on a ridge about  above sea level. The parish measures almost  wide east – west and about  north – south. It is bounded to the east by the River Cherwell, and to the north by a stream that flows east to join the Cherwell. The A4260 road linking Oxford and Banbury forms part of its western boundary. Field boundaries form the southern boundary and the remainder of the western boundary. In 1983 the parish covered an area of .

Manor

Overlords
The Domesday Book records that in 1086 Edward of Salisbury, High Sheriff of Wiltshire, held the over-lordship of the manor of North Aston, and that through him it became attached to the manor of Amesbury. From Edward, North Aston descended through his son Patrick to his grandson Patrick of Salisbury, 1st Earl of Salisbury (died 1168). The overlordship descended with the Earls of Salisbury to Margaret Longespée, 4th Countess of Salisbury and thence to her daughter and heiress Alice de Lacy, 3rd Countess of Lincoln (died 1348) who was also 5th Countess of Salisbury. Alice was married to Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster but in 1322 he was deposed by a party of barons and executed.

One of the barons, Hugh Despenser the Younger, obtained North Aston, which was now a manor of two and a half knight's fees. However, in 1326 Despenser was executed for treason. It is not clear whether the Crown re granted the manor of North Aston immediately after Despenser's death, but by 1389 William de Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury held it with the manor of Amesbury.  By the late 14th century the Earls of March held an estate of one knight's fee at North Aston as part of the barony of Clifford Castle. This is likely to be because Margaret Longespée inherited the barony of Clifford from her grandfather Walter de Clifford (died 1263).

Lords of the Manor

In 1086 Edward of Salisbury's tenant at North Aston was Anchetil de Greye. The tenancy had passed to the Trivet family by 1279 and to the Anne family by the middle of the 15th century. In 1554, on the death of a John Anne, North Aston passed to Sir Robert Broke, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas; possibly through the marriage of John Anne's granddaughter to Robert Broke's son. The manor descended via Broke's son John and grandson Sir Basil (died 1646) to Thomas Brooke. Sir Basil Brooke and his son were recusants and Thomas was a Royalist, so in 1653 the Commonwealth authorities sequestrated his estates. The Parliamentarian Major John Wildman, who speculated in confiscated lands, bought North Aston but in 1655 he was jailed. Thomas Brooke seems to have recovered the manor thereafter, as his sister Frances was married there in 1656. Thomas's grandson Basil inherited North Aston in 1687, and it remained in the Brooke family until Basil's widow Winifred died in 1716 leaving North Aston to another recusant: Henrietta Fermor, sister of James Fermor of Tusmore.

Soon afterwards Henrietta seems to have sold the estate to Anthony Rowe, Clerk of the Green Cloth. Rowe's son-in-law Trevor Hill, 1st Viscount Hillsborough inherited North Aston from him but sold it in 1733. The buyer was Charles Oldfield, a Jamaica merchant who on his death in about 1740 gave the estate to his friend Charles Bowles. Three generations of the Bowles family held the estate, the last being Charles Oldfield Bowles who in 1862 sold it to William Foster-Melliar. When Foster-Melliar died in 1906 a Captain John Taylor of Southgate, Middlesex bought North Aston, which included a  estate. In 1911 Capt. Taylor moved to North Aston Manor and sold North Aston Hall,  and part of the village to Thomas Pakenham, 5th Earl of Longford. Lionel Hichens, chairman of Cammell Laird, bought North Aston Hall in 1929 and his family still owned it in 1980.

Manor House
The present North Aston Manor House is an H-shaped  building of which the central part was probably the hall of a 15th-century house or earlier. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 the neighbouring and ultimately much larger North Aston Hall became the primary home of the lords of the manor of North Aston, while the manor house became one of the main farm houses of the estate. Occupied by various tenants, the property was called Great House Farm during the 18th and 19th centuries, later Manor House Farm.  In the 1930s Captain John Vickris Taylor had a new house built on land that had once formed part of the tract associated with Great House Farm, and called this Manor Farm. In 1976 the Captain's son, Colonel Anthony Taylor, sold the Manor itself to Charles Mackenzie Hill, who subsequently also bought North Aston Hall.

North Aston Hall
North Aston Hall is a large Jacobethan country house built in the 17th century The ten-bay front was added in the 18th century and the present windows and parapet were added in about 1850.

Parish church

The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin existed by 1151, when William of Aston gave it to the Augustinian Bradenstoke Priory in Wiltshire. The present building is mostly Decorated Gothic, with early 14th-century windows and north and south arcades. However, the south aisle ends in a chapel that has a 15th-century Perpendicular Gothic east window and the nave has a 15th or 16th-century clerestory.  The baptismal font is in an unusual style and it is not known in what era it was carved. Sherwood and Pevsner suggested it might be 14th century; English Heritage says it is probably 17th century but might be earlier.

One of its panels has been carved into a shield but the others are blank and the carving seems incomplete.  In 1867 the building was restored and enlarged to designs by George Gilbert Scott, who had the north aisle extended to be as long as the south aisle. The church is a Grade II* listed building.  The tower has a ring of six bells. Henry III Bagley, who had bell-foundries at Chacombe and Witney, cast the tenor bell in 1741. John Warner and Sons of London cast the fourth and fifth bells in 1866. John Taylor & Co of Loughborough cast the treble, second and third bells in 1979.  Since 1976 St Mary's has been part of a united Church of England Benefice with the neighbouring parishes of Steeple Aston and Tackley.

Economic and social history

The Domesday Book records a watermill in the parish, probably on the River Cherwell. The Gambon family were the millers for most of the 13th century, and it continued to be called Gambon's Mill until the 18th century. From the latter part of the 16th century until early in the 18th century it seems to have been a double mill with two millraces and two separate tenants. The last known record of a double mill is from 1733. The Rose family were millers here continuously from 1673 until its commercial closure in 1938, although grain continued to be milled for local use throughout the period of the Second World War, and for a brief time afterwards. The Mill was sold off by the Estate in 1950 and by 1955 had been converted into a private home. Its machinery has been restored and in 1980 remained in situ.

The stretch of the Oxford Canal between Banbury and Tackley was completed in 1787. It runs along the Cherwell valley and for a short distance it forms the eastern boundary of North Aston parish.  A village school was built in 1844 and was supervised by the Church of England Diocese of Oxford. In 1872 it moved to new premises when William Foster-Melliar converted the original coach house to the North Aston Hall into a schoolroom with two teachers' cottages attached. In 1923 it was reorganised as a junior school and senior pupils were transferred to the school at Steeple Aston. After the second World War the number of pupils steadily declined, and in 1955 North Aston school was closed. For some twenty years the old schoolroom was a village hall for the community, but in 1976 the building was converted into a private house.

Current economy and amenities
North Aston has a substantial garden centre, Nicholsons Nurseries.

Climate
Climate in this area has mild differences between highs and lows, and there is adequate rainfall year-round.  The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfb" (Marine West Coast Climate/Oceanic climate).

The Communauté de communes du Pays de Jeanne is a former administrative association of communes in the Vosges department of eastern France and in the region of Lorraine.

The grouping is named after Joan of Arc, who was born at Domrémy-la-Pucelle around 1412, and who has been an iconic figure in France ever since her popular rediscovery as part of the surge in nationalism that France, along with the most of the rest of Europe, experienced during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Created in December 1998, the association had its administrative offices at Coussey. It was merged into the new Communauté de communes du Bassin de Neufchâteau in January 2013.

Member communes
The Communauté de communes comprised the following communes:

Autigny-la-Tour
Avranville
Chermisey
Coussey
Domrémy-la-Pucelle
Frebécourt
Midrevaux

Social translucence (also referred as social awareness) is a term that was proposed by Thomas Erickson and Wendy Kellogg to refer to "design digital systems that support coherent behavior by making participants and their activities visible to one another".

Social translucence represents a tool for transparency in socio-technical systems, which function is to
 stimulate online participation
 facilitate collaboration (via collaborative filtering but also by helping the construction of trust)
 facilitate navigation (social navigation)

Social translucence is, in particular, a core element in online social networking such as Facebook or LinkedIn, in which they intervene in the possibility for people to expose their online identity, but also in the creation of awareness of other people activities, that are for instance present in the activity feeds that these systems make available.

Social translucence mechanisms have been made available in many web 2.0 systems such as:
 Online communities
 Online social networking
 Wikis
 Collaborative software

Background

Participation of people in online communities, in general, differ from their participatory behavior in real-world collective contexts. Humans in daily life are used to making use of "social cues" for guiding their decisions and actions e.g. if a group of people is looking for a good restaurant to have lunch, it is very likely that they will choose to enter a local that have some customers inside instead of one that it is empty (the more crowded restaurant could reflect its popularity and in consequence, its quality of service). However, in online social environments, it is not straightforward how to access to these sources of information which are normally being logged in the systems, but this is not disclosed to the users.

There are some theories that explain how this social translucence can affect the behavior of people in real-life scenarios. The American philosopher George Herbert Mead states that humans are social creatures, in the sense that people's actions cannot be isolated from the behavior of the whole collective they are part of because every individuals' acts are influenced by larger social practices that act as a general behavior's framework. In his performance framework, the Canadian sociologist Erving Goffman postulates that in everyday social interactions individuals perform their actions by collecting information from others first, to know in advance what they may expect from them and in this way being able to plan how to behave more effectively.

Principles

According to Erickson et al., social translucent systems should respect the principles of visibility (making significant social information available to users), awareness (bringing our social rules to guide our actions based on external social cues) and accountability (being able to identify who did what and when) to allow people to effectively facilitate users' communication and collaboration in virtual environments. Zolyomi et al. proposed the principle of identity as a fourth dimension for social translucence by arguing that the design of socio-technical systems should have a rich description of who is visible, to give people control over disclosure and mechanisms to advocate for their needs. McDonald et al. proposed a system architecture for structuring the development of social translucent systems, which comprises two dimensions: types of user actions in the system, and a second describing the processing and interpretation done by the system. This framework can guide designers to determine what activities are important to social translucence and need to be reflected, and how interpretive levels of those actions might provide contextual salience to the users

Effects

Benefits

In the same way that in the real-world, providing social cues in virtual communities can help people to understand better the situations they face in these environments, to alleviate their decision-making processes by enabling their access to more informed choices, to persuade them to participate in the activities that take place there, and to structure their own schedule of individual and group activities more efficiently.

In this frame of reference, an approach called "social context displays" has been proposed for showing social information -either from real or virtual environments- in digital scenarios. It is based on the use of graphical representations to visualize the presence and activity traces of a group of people, thus providing users with a third-party view of what is happening within the community i.e. who are actively participating, who are not contributing to the group efforts, etc. This social-context-revealing approach has been studied in different scenarios (e.g. IBM video-conference software, large community displaying social activity traces in a shared space called NOMATIC*VIZ), and it has been demonstrated that its application can provide users with several benefits, like providing them with more information to make better decisions and motivating them to take an active attitude towards the management of  their self and group representations within the display through their actions in the real-life.

The feeling of personal accountability in front of others that social translucence can report to users can be used for the design of systems for supporting behavior change (e.g. weight loss, smoking cessation), if combined with the appropriate type of feedback.

Concerns

By making the traces of activity of users publicly available for others to access it is natural that it can raise users concerns related to which are their rights over the data they generate, who are the final users that can have access to their information and how they can know and control their privacy policies. There are several perspectives that try to contextualize this privacy issue. One perspective is to see privacy as a tradeoff between the degree of invasion to the personal space and the number of benefits that the user could perceive from the social system by disclosing their online activity traces. Another perspective is examining the concession between the visibility of people within the social system and their level of privacy, which can be managed at an individual or at a group level by establishing specific permissions for allowing others to have access to their information. Other authors state that instead of enforcing users to set and control privacy settings, social systems might focus on raising their awareness about who their audiences are so they can manage their online behavior according to the reactions they expect from those different user groups.

The Swedish Trotting Criterium (Swedish: Svenskt Travkriterium or only Kriteriet) is an annual national Group One harness event for trotters that is held at Solvalla in Stockholm, Sweden. It is considered one of the classic trotting events in Sweden as well as the most prestigious Swedish event for 3-year-old trotters.
The purse in the 2008 final was ≈US$458,000 (SEK 3,200,000), of which the winner Maharajah won half.

Location
The Swedish Trotting Criterium has been exclusively held at Solvalla since 1966. The first five editions was raced at Jägersro, before the hostesship was altered between Solvalla and Jägersro until 1954, when Åby was added to the mix. The three tracks took turns until 1966, just as with the Swedish Trotting Derby, another prestigious Swedish event. In 1966, Solvalla started to host the Criterium annually and Jägersro became permanent host track of the Derby.

 1927 - 1931 Jägersro
 1932 - 1954 Solvalla or Jägersro
 1954 - 1965 Åby, Solvalla or Jägersro
 1966 -      Solvalla

Entering the event
To enter the Swedish Trotting Criterium, a horse owner is obliged to make four payments of totally ≈US$530 (SEK4,125) as of 2009. These payments are as well valid for the Swedish Trotting Oaks, which is held at the same day as the Criterium but are open only for fillies. In addition to these costs, a supplementary fee of ≈US$820 (SEK6,360) is paid to enter the elimination races before the final. If a filly owner decides to enter the Oaks instead of the Criterium, the supplementary fee is half as large, ≈US$410 (SEK3,180).

Racing conditions

Distance
From the start in 1927 until 1977, the distance of the Criterium was 2,600 meters (1.62 miles). In 1978, an added 40 meters made up a distance of 2,640 meters (1.64 miles), which has been the distance of the race ever since.

Starting method
The first 33 Criterium finals was started by using volt start. In 1960, auto start was introduced. Since then, a motorized starting gate has been used every year, with exceptions for 1967, 1971 and 1979.

Middle Aston is a hamlet and civil parish in the English county of Oxfordshire, about  northwest of Bicester. It used to have a country house, Middle Aston House, but this was demolished early in the 19th century. The house was replaced in the 1890s by extending the manor farmhouse. The building is now a conference center.

History

Middle Ages
At the time of the Domesday survey of 1086 Middle Aston was split into four estates:
Goisbert held one hide under Robert de Stafford.
Gislebert held two hides and five eighths under Robert de Stafford.
Saric held one hide and a quarter under the King by sergeanty.
Hugh held one hide and an eighth in Hidrecote or Nidrecote under the Bishop of Bayeaux.
The two holdings held under Robert de Stafford were at some stage before the end of the 12th Century united to form the Middle Aston manor, which by 1279 also included the holding of Saric. The manor passed into the Brimpton family, from Brimpton in Berkshire who owned the village from the early 13th to late 14th centuries. They never lived in the parish, and a manor house was never attached to the estate. The village was the largest of the three Astons during this period. During the fifteenth century Middle Aston was owned by first the Stokes family and then the Dyneley family.

Nethercote
During the Middle Ages there was a small hamlet called Nethercote in the parish of Middle Aston. After the Domesday survey it was held as a separate estate.  In 1257 it was conveyed by Thomas Buffyn to Chetwode Priory. The hamlet was abandoned during the time of the Black Death. The remaining farm, which was known as the Nethercote Grange, remained in the ownership of the church until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536. It initially passed to the Fermors of Somerton, but by the early 17th century had become part of the Middle Aston manor.

Karkala, also known as Karla in Tulu language, is a town and the headquarters of Karkala taluk in the Udupi district of Karnataka, India. Located about 60 km from Mangalore in the Tulu Nadu region of the state, it lies near the foothills of the Western Ghats. Karkala has a number of natural and historical landmarks, and is a major tourist and transit destination due to its strategic location along the way to Hebri, Sringeri, Kalasa, Horanadu, Udupi, Kollur, Subrahmanya and Dharmasthala.

Etymology
Black granite is abundant in the area, and used widely in the local architecture. Hence, the name of the town is derived from kari-kal, meaning black stone. There is still a place called as Kariya Kall in the city which means 'Black Rock' in Tulu and Kannada languages. The name 'Kariya Kall/ ಕರಿಯಕಲ್ಲ್ changed to 'Karikal/ಕರಿಕಲ್' and eventually to 'Karkal/ಕರ್ಕಲ್/ಕಾರ್ಕಳ್'. However, some studies assert that the original name was 'Kari Kola' meaning 'elephant lake' in Tulu and Kannada languages, which today is  known as 'Anekere'. The current official name "Karkala" is in use since the times of the British, while it is still referred to as "Karla" by the local Tulu population.

History

Karkala dates back to the beginning of the 10th century.The town was called Pandya Nagari during the period of Jain rule.

The Alupas were the first to rule the region, and their rule was followed by the Santaras, who were the feudatories of Alupas for many years. The town attained political and cultural importance from the time of the Kalasa-Karkala kingdom that was established by King Bhairava between 13th and 16th centuries.

The royal family of Karkala rose to prominence from the time of the rule of the Hoysalas. During the Vijayanagara period this family reached new heights of glory as their kingdom extended over a wider area comprising Sringeri, Koppa, Balehonnur and Mudigere in Chikamagalur and most of the Karkala taluk.

King Veera Bhairava,constructed the basadis at Karkala and endowed land and money to numerous temples and basadis. Ramanatha and Veerapandya were his two sons and Ramanatha died early during his father's time. So In his memory, a scenic lake called Ramasamudra was created, which still survives to this day.

King Veera Pandya, at the insistence of his Guru Lalitakeerti, the pontiff of Karkala Jaina Math, installed a large statue of Bahubali on the rocky hill of Karkala. The date of the installation has been ascertained as 13 February 1432. He also installed the Brahmadeva Pillar in front of the statue in 1436. His successor, Abinava Pandya installed a carving of manastambha in front of the Neminatha Basadis in Hiriyangadi in 1457 AD. An intricately carved 54-foot-high (16 m) pillar stands in front of the Basadis.

Abhinava Pandya's successor was Pandya VI, who is attributed to the construction of the Kere Basadis in the middle of a lake called Anekere in 1545 AD. Immadi Bhairava (Bhairava II), who ruled after him, constructed the Chaturmukha Basadi on top of a small rocky hill in 1586 AD. This Basadis has four identical entrances from the four directions leading to the Garbagriha and hence is popularly known as Chaturmukha or Four-Faced. It is also referred to as Tribhuvana Tilaka Jina Chaityalaya and Ratnaraya Dhama in some inscriptions. The Chaturmukha Basadi is built in the form of a square hall with a lofty doorway and pillared porticos on each of its four sides along with a pillared verandah. The roof is flat and is made of massive granite slabs. It has life size statues of three Jain Theerthankaras on each side and small images of 24 Tirthankara. In all, there are 108 pillars inside and outside the temple.

There are 18 Basadis of antiquity, including Mahaveera Basadi, Chandranathaswamy Basadi, Adinathaswamy Basadi, Ananthanatha Basadi, Guru BasadiBasadi, and Padmavati Basadi. However, the rulers of Karkala were tolerant towards other religions, with temples of other religions being constructed, including the temples of Anantashayana and Venkataramana, Mahamaya Mukhyaprana, and Sri Aadi-Shakthi Veerabhadra Swamy.

After the rule of the Pandyas, the region was annexed by Tippu Sultan, and thereafter passed on to British rule. The St Lawrence Church was built in 1845 in a village called Nitte (Attur hamlet) where people of all religions congregate every year in January for the feast of St Lawrence.

Red Gap is southeast of Nanoose Bay on the east coast of southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The ghost town on BC Highway 19
is by road about  north of Nanaimo, and  south of Parksville.

Name origin
Formerly, the location was known as part of "the flats" of Nanoose Bay. Logs were delivered by the adjacent E&N Railway for offloading, assembling as log rafts, and towing by tug to various sawmills. When Joe and Max McKercher established a sawmill in 1912, the mill name defined the location. When a precise name was needed for the opening of the post office in 1917, Harry Leon Wilson's 1915 novel provided the inspiration for the community name, the 1918 Ruggles of Red Gap movie, and the two remakes.

Sawmill
The 1913 takeover by Newcastle Lumber Company and Merchant Trust joint venture suggests financial problems, but the employees were able to field their first mill soccer team that year. After bankruptcy, the mill was idle throughout 1916, before acquisition by Frank Pendleton's Straits Lumber Co.

Logs arrived by rail, or were towed in as rafts, and the finished product left by rail, or was barged across the bay for loading onto ships for export, Japan being the primary destination. Lumber was milled to unique Japanese dimensions. Owing to insufficient land between the railway and the shoreline, the complex rested on pilings. Japan's early recovery from the Great Depression kept the mill busy. For three years during the 1930s, at the peak of its operations, the Straits mill was the largest in the Pacific Northwest.

A 1940 fire in the green chain caused some damage. However, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 put the mill out of business within months. A fire during demolition in 1942 destroyed much of the structure, then owned by H. R. MacMillan. A suspicious 1944 fire razed the remainder and two occupied buildings. The intense heat buckled E&N tracks for a few hundred yards, destroyed a boxcar, and damaged telephone wires. Months earlier, the Forestry Department had burned down shacks that posed a safety hazard. The site continued in use by smaller operations into the early 1950s.

Community
Workers brought in from India, Japan and China, were housed separately in buildings (upon pilings) near the mouth of the creek. The company store, post office, and other accommodation were on the southwest side beyond the railway track and parallel highway. In the late 1910s, excessive speed by motorists was a concern. By the mid-1930s, the expanded non-European housing nestled between the road and rail arteries.

Present status
Today the site is marked by a rest area on the southbound side of Highway 19. No houses or other buildings remain. The widened highway has encompassed the land once occupied by the settlement. The only visible sign that remains is the worn pilings of the sawmill complex which protrude from the mudflats of the bay. The Red Gap name only lives on in a supermarket at nearby Nanoose Bay.

Dilutive securities are financial instruments—usually stock options, warrants, convertible bonds—which increase the number of  common shares if exercised; this then reduces, or "dilutes", the basic EPS (earnings per share).

Thus, only where the diluted EPS is less than the basic EPS is the transaction classified as dilutive.

Compare Accretion (finance).

Some examples of dilutive securities are convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, options, warrants, participating securities, two-class common stocks, and contingent shares.

The concept of dilutive securities is often a purely theoretical one, since these instruments will not be converted into common stock unless the price at which they can be purchased will generate a profit. In many cases, the strike prices are set above the market price, so they will not be exercised.

In 1918, Bloomington, Minnesota opened its first secondary school, Bloomington High School at 10025 Penn Ave. S., the school remaining at this location until a new building opened in the fall of 1957.
The new Bloomington High School at (8900 Queen Ave. S., Bloomington MN 55431) with the adjacent Bloomington Stadium, was renamed  Abraham Lincoln Senior High School in 1965 when a second high school, John F. Kennedy Senior High School opened. The original location, then known as the "annex", served as the tenth grade school for 1000 sophomores prior to the second high school. Robert Vinatieri was the tenth grade principal.

The school's mascot of Bloomington HS and Lincoln HS was the Bears. School colors were green and white, with gold.
The school was a member of the Lake Conference from 1957 to 1982, preceded by membership in  the Minnesota Valley Conference. Principals of the school were P. Arthur Hoblit, Dr. Raymond Hanson and Dr. Kent O. Stever.
Hubert Olson and Fred Atkinson served as Superintendent of Schools during the 1950s and 1960s to guide the school district to exceptional success.

Additional high schools. John F. Kennedy Senior High School opened in the fall of 1965. Thomas Jefferson Senior High School opened in 1970.

Due to declining enrollments in the late 1970s, Lincoln closed in 1982. Kennedy and Jefferson continue to play their home football games at Bloomington Stadium adjacent to the former Lincoln site.

The Guantanamo Review Task Force was created by Executive Order 13492 issued by President of the United States Barack Obama on January 22, 2009, his second full day in office. United States Attorney General Eric Holder announced Matthew G. Olsen as Executive Director of the task force on February 20, 2009. The task force was charged with determining which Guantánamo detainees can be transferred (released), which can be prosecuted for crimes they may have committed, and, if neither of those is possible, recommending other lawful means for disposition of the detainees.

The task force was an inter-agency task force, with the U.S. Department of Justice coordinating the efforts of officials from the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of State, and the Department of Homeland Security. The final report was issued January 22, 2010, but not publicly released until May 28, 2010. The Washington Post reported that the "administration sat on the report in the wake of the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day because there was little public or congressional appetite for further discussion of its plan to close the military detention center."

Of the 240 detainees considered, the report recommended that 126 detainees should be transferred to their home country or to another country that was willing to accept them, 36 be prosecuted in either federal court or a military commission, 48 be held indefinitely under the laws of war and 30 Yemenis should be approved for transfer if security conditions in Yemen improved. As of January 2017, 41 detainees remain at Guantanamo.

Congressional Representative Frank Wolf criticized the task force claiming it was subjected to political interference from the White House.

Founded in 1984, the Saskatchewan German Council Inc. (SGC) is a registered volunteer-based, non-profit organization that promotes the heritage, culture and interests of people of German-speaking backgrounds in Saskatchewan, Canada. The council's head office is located in Saskatoon. 2014 marked SGC's 30th anniversary.

Mandate
To promote German culture, language, customs, traditions and interests for the benefit of all Saskatchewan people.

Governance
The Saskatchewan German Council Inc. is guided in all its activities by its by-laws and by a set of policies. A board of directors consisting of 11 elected members meets at least twice a year to set the tone and direction for Council activities. Committees are investigate and manage matters of special interest.

Funding
The Saskatchewan German Council Inc. is a member of SaskCulture Inc., under whose umbrella it receives Lottery funding and access to the community of Saskatchewan. The Council generates funds with the revenues going directly to SGC member organizations for support. The council receives financial support for  projects from Heritage Canada, Service Canada, SaskCulture and Saskatchewan Lotteries. The council offers several funding opportunities for members and non-members.

Membership
Membership is open to any organization or individual who agrees to abide by the SGC constitution and policies.

Organizational Members
SGC has over 30 organizational members across Saskatchewan. Member programs include choirs, dance groups, German language programs, cooking classes, a German-speaking radio program, arts and crafts programs, movie viewings and special events during the holiday seasons, such as a traditional German Christmas Market, Christmas Concerts, Oktoberfest activities, and Carnival.

SGC Scholarship
In 1996, the Council decided to recognize academic achievement and encourage students to pursue undergraduate studies in German at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon and the University of Regina. Two $500 annual scholarships were created, one at each of Saskatchewan's universities. In 2007, the SGC Scholarship was renamed the Saskatchewan German Council Scholarship In Memory of Dr. Brian McKinstry.

Special Volunteer Awards
The SGC Special Volunteer Awards have been presented since 2000 to outstanding volunteers serving the SGC community and the province of Saskatchewan at large. The awards are handed out at the Special Volunteer Awards Banquet during the annual Treffpunkt (Meeting Place) weekend in June of each year. In 2014, a SGC Youth Volunteer Award was added.

Projects
Settlements in Saskatchewan
The Settlements in Saskatchewan project involved the publication of maps giving graphical representations of the settlement patterns of German communities in Saskatchewan. The project was supported by the Saskatchewan German Council Inc., the Saskatchewan Centennial, Heritage Canada, and Saskatchewan Lotteries.

The settlement information was taken from a 1990 graphic drawn by H. Heimann. The information was compiled by Dr. A. B. Anderson, a professor of Sociology at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK. The 2005 enhanced map was compiled and digitized by B. Stehwein, P. Geo.

SGC Immigrant Settlement Handbook
In the face of the growing number of German speaking immigrants to Saskatchewan, and the growing need for immigration and settlement assistance, the Saskatchewan German Council Inc. has launched the SGC Immigrant Settlement Handbook Project to provide immigrants with a guide to settling in Saskatchewan. The handbook includes information on immigration, housing, employment, education and childcare, health and emergency services, legal services, recreation and cultural services, as well as consumer information such as food and groceries, transportation and banking.

The handbook contains information on local communities with a large population of German-speaking descent, including Prince Albert, North Battleford, Lloydminster, Regina and Saskatoon, as well as smaller communities such as Leader, Humboldt, Melville and Estevan.

The SGC Immigrant Settlement Handbook was published in 2009 in German and English. A second, revised edition was published in 2012. A third edition was published in 2016 and is available at the office.

German Cultural Tradition Books
The Saskatchewan German Council wanted to promote German customs that occur throughout the year. Four books have been composed that explain traditions and give insights as well as recipes and art & craft ideas. The books are call "Weihnachten - Christmas", "Ostern - Easter", "Karnival - Carnival", and "Verschiedene Tradition - Various Traditions". The books are written in English and German and includes coloured pictures. They can be purchased at the office in Saskatoon.

Culture in the Kitchen
As an organization we are interested in sharing our culture with others, in creating a two-way learning opportunity and in building better understanding of each other. With this Multicultural Cooking Series called “Culture in the Kitchen” we are reaching out to other cultural groups to cook with us, working cross-culturally and sharing traditional dishes and information with anyone who is interested.

#WeAreSK
The idea of partnering with different provincial organizations was to highlight the contributions of the multicultural community to Saskatchewan culture. There is a shared desire to highlight the process newcomers have undergone in several generations to settle in Saskatchewan and integrate into their communities.

Newsletter
"The Postillion" is SGC's quarterly published newsletter that includes articles and reports by SGC member organizations, information on German cultural and traditional events in Saskatchewan, as well as interviews, and life stories of people of German-speaking background.

There is also an e-update available for anyone that would like information straight to their inbox.

Theodore Wilbur Anderson (June 5, 1918 – September 17, 2016) was an American mathematician and statistician who specialized in the analysis of multivariate data.
He was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was on the faculty of Columbia University from 1946 until moving to Stanford University in 1967, becoming Emeritus Professor in 1988. He served as Editor of Annals of Mathematical Statistics from 1950 to 1952. He was elected President of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 1962.

Anderson's 1958 textbook, An Introduction to Multivariate Analysis, educated a generation of theorists and applied  statisticians; Anderson's book emphasizes hypothesis testing via likelihood ratio tests and the properties of power functions: Admissibility, unbiasedness and monotonicity.

Anderson is also known for Anderson–Darling test of whether there is evidence that a given sample of data did not arise from a given probability distribution.

He also framed the Anderson–Bahadur algorithm along with Raghu Raj Bahadur, which is used in statistics and engineering for solving binary classification problems when the underlying data have multivariate normal distributions with different covariance matrices.

Awards and honors
He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1946.

In 1949 he was elected a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.

He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1974.

He was a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.

Anderson died in September 2016 at the age of 98 in Stanford, California after experiencing heart problems.

Wolfgang William Romer (23 April 1640 – 15 March 1713) was a Dutch military engineer, born at The Hague.

Early life
He was the third son, in a family of six sons and five daughters, of Mathias Romer of Düsseldorf and Anna Duppengiezeer. Mathias was ambassador to Holland from the Elector Palatine, who stood godfather to Wolfgang at his baptism on 17 May 1640.

Military career
Romer entered the service of William of Orange as a military engineer. In 1688, Romer was a colonel in the army of Prince William which landed in England in 1688, during the "Glorious Revolution". By the end of the year, King James II had fled, and William of Orange was proclaimed King of England in February 1689.

By a royal warrant of 13 May 1690, Romer was appointed engineer in Ireland at 20 shillings a day, to commence from 1 March 1689. He took part in the campaigns of 1690 and 1691, and was employed on the fortifications of Cork, Longford, and Thurles. He remained in Ireland until 1692, when he was appointed by royal warrant of 7 July, chief engineer of the artillery train fitted out at St. Helen's for the expedition against the coast of France. On 26 July he embarked with fourteen thousand troops in transports, and joined the fleet at Portland, when the expedition was abandoned. In 1693, he was chief engineer of the ordnance train of the expedition to the Mediterranean; he served under Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont, and embarked in the fleet under Delaval, Killigrew, and Rooke, to convoy the so-called Smyrna fleet. On 8 May 1694, he was directed by royal warrant to report on the defences of Guernsey, and to lay out any additional works which were urgent. A plan of Castle Cornet, drawn by Romer when on this duty, is in the British Museum.

Career in the Americas
At the beginning of 1697, Romer was ordered to New York, but objected to go on the proposed salary of 20 shillings a day. The Board of Ordnance recommended that his warrant should be cancelled, and that he should be discharged from the King's service. The King was, however, well acquainted with his value, and although the board had suspended him in February, in August the suspension was removed, and Romer accompanied Lord Bellomont, the newly appointed governor, to New York as chief engineer and with pay of 30 shillings a day. Bellamont had so high an opinion of Romer that he was specially allowed to retain his services beyond the term arranged.

Romer made a plan of the Hudson River, New York, and the adjoining country. In 1700, he explored the territories of the Iroquois Confederacy, who were allied with the British, and made a map of his journey among them. From 1701 to 1703, he was engaged in fortifying Boston Harbour. He built Castle William, mounting one hundred guns, on Castle Island. It was destroyed on 17 March 1776, when the British evacuated Boston. Many years afterwards, a slate slab with a Latin inscription was found among the ruins, giving the dates when the work was commenced and finished, and stating that it was constructed by Romer, "a military architect of the first rank." Romer constructed defensive posts and forts in the Iroquois territories, and many of them were executed at his own expense, for which he was never reimbursed. He was a member of the Council of New York Province, and his knowledge of the colony, and especially of the Iroquois, was valuable to Lord Bellomont and to his successor Lord Cornbury, who succeeded to the governorship in 1702.

In 1703, Romer, who was suffering from "a distemper not curable in those parts for want of experienced surgeons", applied to return to England. The Board of Ordnance instead ordered him to go to Barbados, and it was only on the intervention of the Council of Trade, who represented his services, that on 14 August 1704 he was ordered home as soon as he should be relieved. He remained in America until 1706. He completed the plans of Castle Island, Boston Bay, which are now in the British Museum.

Return home and later life
On his homeward voyage he was captured by the French and carried to St. Malo, where he was liberated on parole. The usual offer of twenty seamen in exchange for a colonel was refused by the French, and Romer returned to England to negotiate for an exchange. The Board of Ordnance suggested that the French might accept the Marquis de Levy, taken in , or Chevalier Nangis.

In September 1707 Romer visited Düsseldorf, carrying a letter of recommendation from Queen Anne to the Elector Palatine. In 1708, his exchange having been effected, he was employed in designing defences for Portsmouth, which were submitted to the Board of Ordnance in the following year, and in the construction of Blockhouse Fort at the entrance of Portsmouth Harbour. He continued in charge of the Portsmouth defences, occasionally visiting other fortified towns, such as Harwich, which he reported on in 1710, and places in Flanders, until his death in 1713. He was buried at Düsseldorf, where he had some property. His son John Lambertus Romer (1680–1754) followed him into a career as a military engineer, and served in Scotland.

Albert Marrama Esteve (born 18 February 1983) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career
Born in La Vall d'Uixó, Province of Castellón, Marrama was brought up at Valencia CF's youth system, but never made it past the reserve team during six years. He also served a loan at Valencian Community neighbours Hércules CF.

Released by Valencia in summer 2007, Marrama made his professional debut in 2007–08, with Polideportivo Ejido in the second division, but appeared only once in a relegation-ending season. Subsequently, he resumed his career in the fourth level, having a brief passage in the third with Moratalla CF (suffering another relegation); from March–May 2009 he was on trial at Scottish side Dundee United and PAS Giannina F.C. of Greece, but nothing came of it.

In late June 2011, after another spell in the latter country with GS Ilioupolis, Marrama signed with Nea Salamis Famagusta FC of the Cypriot First Division. He retired from football after only a couple of months however, aged only 28, and returned to his first club Valencia as youth teams' goalkeeping coach.

The Satin Slipper (Le Soulier de satin) is a long play by the French dramatist and poet Paul Claudel, written in 1929. It was first performed on stage in 1943 (abridged), in a production by Claudel and Jean-Louis Barrault. Its full running time is roughly eleven hours.

Plot summary
The scene is set during the Renaissance at the time of the conquistadors.  The play is a love story dominated by the ideas of sin and redemption and the various characters, some divine and some comic, frequently engage in a dialogue as though between Heaven and Earth.

Productions
Nowadays it is rarely staged, because of its extreme length and its challenging production requirements. Full-length productions were staged in Paris, and the Avignon Festival in 1987, and by Olivier Py at the Théâtre de l'Odéon in Paris in 2009.

It was made into a seven-hour film in 1985 by the Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira.

In May 2021 an opera version by Marc-André Dalbavie received its premiere at the Paris Opera, with a libretto by Raphaèle Fleury.
