Jaime Davidovich (September 27, 1936 – August 27, 2016) was an Argentine-American conceptual artist and television-art pioneer. His innovative artworks and art-making activities produced several distinct professional reputations including painter, installation artist, video artist, Public-access television cable TV producer, activist, and non-profit organizer. He is the creator of legendary downtown Manhattan cable television program The Live! Show (1979–1984). Billed as "the variety show of the avant-garde", The Live! Show was an eclectic half-hour of live, interactive artistic entertainment inspired by the Dada performance club Cabaret Voltaire and the anarchic humor of American television comedian Ernie Kovacs.

Early life and education
Davidovich was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Lucio Davidovich and Clara Davidovich (née Jacif). His parents were Jewish immigrants from Ukraine.

When Davidovich was eight years old he contracted rheumatic fever and was bedridden for several months. It was during which time his parents introduced him to art materials to pass the time.

In 1948 when he was 12 years old, Davidovich began to study art under his cousin Simón Feldman during which time he became interested in the work of Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Davidovich later worked under the Hungarian cubist artist Aurel Kessler.

In 1958, Davidovich received a bachelor's degree from the National College in Buenos Aires. In 1961, he received a degree from the University of Uruguay. In 1963, he received a degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Career

Visual art
Davidovich began exhibiting his paintings in 1956 in Argentina, Brazil, and the United States. Interested in space and texture, he experimented with the boundaries of visual artworks first by dissolving the structure of the painting's frame by affixing canvas to walls and then by installing works directly on walls, floors, stairways, and sidewalks.

Adhesive tape came to figure prominently in Davidovich's work, initially as a means to affix canvas to walls and subsequently as an artistic medium itself; he would go on to exhibit throughout Argentine museums and art galleries, as well as in Iowa, New York, Ohio, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, France, Germany, Iran, Italy and Spain; he resided in New York City until his death.

The emergence of portable video equipment in the late 1960s dovetailed with Davidovich's existing interest in minimalism and the aesthetics of line. Davidovich's single channel video works "Road" in 1972 and "3 Mercer Street" in 1975 are some of his earliest video art explorations. These works are noteworthy because of their institutional backing; "Road" was produced with the assistance of the Akron Art Institute in Ohio and "3 Mercer Street" was made possible by a grant from the Creative Arts Public Service (CAPS) program. Davidovich then went on to create video installations, including his "Evita" works developed between 1984–1992 and "Inside and Between" a 1996 work shown at El Museo del Barrio in New York City.

Television

When cable television emerged in the mid-1970s, Jaime Davidovich was one of the first artists to recognize its potential for the contemporary arts. In 1976 he helped establish Cable SoHo. A year later he established the Artists Television Network, a nonprofit organization established to explore the artistic potential of broadcast television and encourage the dissemination of video art through a commercial broadcast medium. The organization produced television programming under the name SoHo Television, a Project of the Artists Television Network, and broadcast on Manhattan public-access television cable TV. Programming included video art, early music videos, performances and interviews with artists including Laurie Anderson, John Cage and Richard Foreman among many others. The organization ceased production in 1984.

Davidovich is perhaps best known for his work on The Live! Show, a weekly public-access television program with a variety show format that appropriated the formal norms of television along with avant-garde performances, artwork, political satire, and social commentary. The program featured interviews and performance work by visiting artists, including Laurie Anderson, Eric Bogosian, Tony Oursler, Stuart Sherman, and Michael Smith, along with musical performances, ersatz commercials, and viewer participation via live call-in segments. Presiding over the show's disparate collaborative elements was Davidovich’s own satirical character, Dr. Videovich, a self-proclaimed "specialist in curing television addiction,” whom the New York Times television critic John J. O’Connor described as “a persona somewhere between Bela Lugosi and Andy Kaufman.”  The show also featured commercials for Videokitsch, commercially produced items and art multiples made by Davidovich and others. Of The Live! Show, one critic notes, "Davidovich’s humor obviously transcends his medium, resulting in a comment as potent today as one assumes it was in 1972—harnessing new media to capture what is 'real' and 'true' is an artistic act both vitally important and profoundly absurd."

Selected exhibitions
In 1991 the American Museum of the Moving Image presented a retrospective of The Live! Show. In 2007 the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Spain added The Live! Show to its collection of video art.

In 2010 Davidovich was honored with a retrospective exhibition at ARTIUM, Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporaneo in Spain.

Other solo exhibitions include Cabinet, Brooklyn, New York; MAMBA: Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires; Vanguardia, Bilbao, Spain; and the American Museum of the Moving Image, New York. Davidovich has participated in a wide range of group exhibitions, at institutions such as J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; 2007 São Paulo Biennial, Brazil; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Long Beach Museum of Art, California; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

A total penumbral lunar eclipse is a lunar eclipse that occurs when the Moon becomes completely immersed in the penumbral cone of the Earth without touching the umbra.

The path for the Moon to pass within the penumbra and outside the umbra is very narrow. It can only happen on the Earth's northern or southern penumbral edges. In addition, the size of the penumbra is sometimes too small where the Moon enters it to contain the Moon. The width of the Earth's penumbra is determined by the Sun's angular diameter at the time of the eclipse, and the Moon's angular diameter is larger than the Sun over part of its elliptical orbit, depending on whether the eclipse occurs at the nearest (perigee) or farthest point (apogee) in its orbit around the Earth. The majority of the time, the size of the Moon and the size of the Earth's penumbra where the Moon crosses it mean that most eclipses will not be total penumbral in nature.

Frequency
Total penumbral eclipses constitute a relatively small fraction of lunar eclipses, and the distribution of these events is uneven, occurring between 0 and 9 times per century. The period of this variation is approximately 600 years and also correlates with the frequency of total umbral eclipses and tetrads.

The maximum number in Fred's 5K canon is eight for saros 19. Saros 32 and 132 have seven. Saros 58, 95, and 114 have six.

Saros 114 is the only saros in the canon to have a total of seven total penumbral lunar eclipses that are not all in a row. Likewise, saros 169 has five total penumbral eclipses, but only four of them occur consecutively.

Saros series with multiple consecutive total penumbral eclipses

This table summarizes which saros series contain four or more consecutive total penumbral eclipses.

Summary frequency of total penumbral, total umbral and tetrad events 501–2500

Burnt Sugar, also known as Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber, is an American improvisational band. The band's music combines the influences of funk, jazz, rock, reggae, soul, hip hop, heavy metal, and 20th-century classical music. It has been described by one critic as a "funk-rock-electronic-samba-soul-jazz-fusion-whatever ensemble". One critic wrote that Burnt Sugar's music "is not the easiest thing to describe", while another critic wrote that "Burnt Sugar sounds like a big cloud".

History
Burnt Sugar was founded in 1999 by guitarist and writer Greg Tate. Among the band's influences are Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis, Funkadelic, Bad Brains, Band of Gypsys, Sun Ra, Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi, and Material.

Group members
The membership of Burnt Sugar is fluid. As many as 40 musicians have passed through the band and are available to play with it, although the group's core consists of about 12 musicians. Notable musicians who have played with Burnt Sugar include guitarists Pete Cosey, who played in Davis' band during the early 1970s, and Vernon Reid, guitarist for the funk metal band Living Colour. Other members of the group have included pianist Vijay Iyer, saxophonists Avram Fefer and Matana Roberts, and trumpeter Lewis "Flip" Barnes.

Origin
The founding members of the group—Vijay Iyer and Bruce Mack on keyboards, Rene Akhan, Morgan Craft and Kirk Douglass (now of The Roots) on guitars, Jared Michael Nickerson and Jason Di Matteo on electric and acoustic bass, Swiss Chris and Qasim Naqvi on drums, vocalist Eisa Davis and violinist Simi—began rehearsing together in late August 1999, making their debut at CBGB. In December 1999, they recorded the group's debut album, Blood On The Leaf.

Conduction
Tate served as Burnt Sugar's leader, using a system called "conduction" to direct the musicians as they improvise. Conduction, which was developed by Butch Morris, is a series of hand and baton signals that cue various musical themes or musicians. Tate said that under conduction, "the band becomes the instrument of the conductor's will." He has described his role as conductor as:

Recordings
In 2000, Burnt Sugar recorded a three-CD set, That Depends On What You Know, made up of the discs Fubractive Since Antiquity, The Crepescularium and The Sirens Return: Keep It Real ’Til It Flatlines. By that time, the band included trumpeter Lewis “Flip” Barnes, percussionist Tia Nicole Leak, saxophonist Micah Gaugh, flautist Satch Hoyt, cellist Julia Kent, and vocalists Lisala Beatty and Justice Dilla-X.

Burnt Sugar’s next studio recording, the two-CD set Black Sex Yall Liberation And Bloody Random Violets, was released in 2004. It featured the band debut of alto saxophonist Matana Roberts and tenor saxophonist Petre Radu-Scafaru. That was followed in 2005 by Not April In Paris, their first live album, documenting a fully improvised 80-minute concert from the Banlieues Bleues Festival in France. In 2006, they released a two-CD live set, If You Can't Dazzle Them With Your Brilliance Then Baffle Them With Your Blisluth, recorded at shows in Bordeaux, France; San Sebastien, Spain; and at Tonic and the Vision Festival in New York City.

That same year, the band released another two-CD studio set, More Than Posthuman: Rise Of The Mojosexual Cotillion, which was more focused on vocals, lyrics, and dance rhythms than their previous work. The band finished 2006 by releasing Chopped And Screwed Volume 2 – Rarities, Remixes, Out Takes And Conductions (there was no Volume 1), with excerpts from More Than Posthuman, new collaborations with Butch Morris, and laptop music from Greg Tate’s score for his sci-fi film project Black Body Radiation.

In 2007, the group released a best-of collection featuring material from all 12 of their discs, and another live album, Live at Minnegiggle Falls, recorded at Minneapolis’ Walker Arts Center in 2005. In 2008, Burnt Sugar provided a live soundtrack to Oscar Micheaux's silent film In Our Gates at Lincoln Center and released the studio album Making Love To The Dark Ages in partnership with LiveWired Records. In 2011, they released the studio album All Ya Needs That Negrocity.

In 2013, Burnt Sugar contributed several tracks to a benefit album to raise funds for Donovan Drayton's release from prison and forthcoming trial. In 2017, they released their latest studio album, All You Zombies Dig The Luminosity!. In 2019, Burnt Sugar presented the film Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song in Brooklyn while playing their own interpretation of the soundtrack. Van Peebles appeared at the presentation.

Jack D. Elliot is an American record producer and songwriter, perhaps best known for works with artist like Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Backstreet Boys, Brandy, and Christina Milian.

Career
In the time that Jack has been on the scene, he has packed his discography with names like Britney Spears, Taylor Dayne, Nick Lachey, 'N Sync, Lo Fidelity Allstars, Backstreet Boys, Brandy, Jade Anderson, and Christina Milian; as well as shows like Access Hollywood, E! News Live, Good Morning America, The View, and the Daytime Emmy Awards.  Constantly working to expand his impressive resume, Jack has had an incredible year.  From a new publishing deal with Kobalt Music, to Billboard chart-topping singles and remixes, the stars just keep on shining.

Not one to be limited, Jack is crossing all of the boundaries in the music and entertainment industries from pop music to television shows to ad campaigns. Currently holding down the #1 slot on Billboard Dance radio chart, Jack's remix of Nick Lachey’s "What's Left of Me" has taken radio by storm.  Two amazing rock/pop songs written and produced by Jack for Taylor Dayne’s comeback album are wrapping up, and new tracks co-written with Shelly Peiken for Warner Bros. Records artist Ashley Tisdale, of High School Musical fame, are underway. Weekly, you can hear Jack’s hot tracks on Fox’s runaway hit “So You Think You Can Dance”, CBS staple Navy NCIS, UPN's wildly popular America's Next Top Model, and MTV's Punk'd and Jamie Kennedy's Blowin' Up. Dr. Pepper also came calling, as Jack's inventive production mash-up is the backdrop for their new ad campaign. Packed dance floors everywhere are thanking Jack as well for writing "I Will Stand", the smash comeback single for disco legend Claudja Berry that is rapidly climbing the Billboard Club charts.

In a relatively short span of time, Jack has been privileged to work with some of music's top talents and legends. Jack had the high honor of collaborating with 14-time Grammy Award winner David Foster, writing and producing "I Want to Be A Millionaire" for ABC’s mega-hit Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.  The song, featuring his wife Jemma K. Cooper on vocals along with spoken interludes from host Regis Philbin, was the theme for ABC’s national ad campaign for the show. In 2004, Jack had the #2 Billboard dance single of the year for recording artist Reina, with the anthem "If I Close My Eyes".  In 2005, Jack repeated the magic with another #2 Billboard smash "I’ll Be Your Light" for world-renowned diva Kristine W. Co-written with John DeNicola of Dirty Dancing fame, "I'll Be Your Light" became Kristine's theme song as she burst back into the music world after a long fight with leukemia.  Taking his sound worldwide, Jack was also honored to work with Eurovision winner Sertab Erener of Turkey. His song "It Takes More" was featured on Sertab's eagerly awaited first English language album.  Also not to be forgotten are Jack's much loved remixes for pop legends Britney Spears ("...Baby One More Time", "Lucky", "Stronger", "Oops!... I Did It Again"), Backstreet Boys ("The One", "Larger than Life", "I Want It That Way"), 'N Sync ("It's Gonna Be Me"), and Christina Milian ("Whatever You Want").

A by-election was held in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland seat of Maryborough on 26 April 2003. It was triggered by the resignation of sitting member John Kingston.

The by-election resulted in the baton passing from one independent to another when Chris Foley was elected as the new member.

Background

John Kingston was first elected to state parliament as one of 11 One Nation candidates ushered in at the 1998 state election. All eleven members would eventually break with their party, with Kingston doing so in early 1999 to sit as an independent. He was re-elected in that capacity at the 2001 state election before resigning in 2003 due to ill health.

Candidates

Kingston's retirement presented the Labor Party with an opportunity to win back the seat they had held prior to his 1998 victory. Labor preselected postal worker Doug Loggie.

The contest for National Party preselection—which had last held the seat from 1983 to 1989—saw Peter Andrews win endorsement over four other candidates. Ominously, one of those candidates, church pastor and financial advisor Chris Foley, chose to stand for the by-election in an independent capacity.

Result

Chris Foley easily outpolled the candidate of his former party and, with the help of preferences, won the seat over Labor candidate Doug Loggie.

Čikola () is a river of 47.8 km in length, located in Dalmatia, southern Croatia.

Description
Čikola river's springs is near the village Čavoglave, flows through the city of Drniš and then flows near village of Miljevci into the river of Krka which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The canyon contrasts with the nearby mountains of Moseća, Promina, and Svilaja, which are rather calm.. The canyon is 14 km long and 170 m deep in places. It ends 3 km from the lake part of the river, i.e. 6 km before the mouth. Due to the diversity of flora and fauna, and more underwater caves that can be easily entered in summer when the river is partly dry, and even the rich historical heritage, Čikola canyon gained the status of a protected area in 1965. In addition to its natural beauty, the Čikola canyon is known for its zipline, which stretches from 30 to 120 m above sea level and has a total length of 1.4 km, which makes it one of the longest ziplines in Croatia. Thrill enthusiasts can choose between three ziplines 250, 500 and 650 meters long, along which they can ride on a steel rope at speeds up to 70 km/h (~43 mph).

The confluence of the rivers Čikola and Krka is one of the most unusual in Croatia. They are divided by the island of Kalički Basin and the "lake" Torak, which is in actually a spring resembling a lake. The unusualness of the scene is contributed by the imbalance between these two rivers - the Krka on one side, which is a lake, and 3 kilometers of Čikola, which are submerged by the rising travertine barrier of Skradinski Buk. Lake Torak spring is 150 m in diameter and 30 m deep.

The narrower area around the source of the Čikola River is climatically strongly influenced by the continental climate. The lowest average air temperature at the Čikola estuary is around 7.7°C (46°F), while the highest summer average air temperature is around 23.7°C (74°F). Around the source, the lowest average air temperature is around 5.6°C (42°F), while the highest summer average air temperature is around 22.1°C (72°F).

Wildlife

In the Čikola, there is a very large number of gambusia (Gambusia affinis), an introduced foreign, invasive species that suppresses native species.

Domestic species
In Čikola live two exclusively endemic species: Turkish chub (Telestes turski), and Dalmatian gaovica (Phoxinellus dalmaticus). During the dry season, Turkish chub retreats into groundwater, especially to the Čikola spring.

In popular culture
It is mentioned in Thompson's hit song "Bojna Čavoglave".

John Albert Bright (1848 – 11 November 1924) was an English industrialist and Liberal Unionist  and Liberal politician.

Family and education
J A Bright was the eldest son of the Liberal reformer, orator and statesman,  John Bright. His family were steeped in Radical and reforming politics. His father’s brother, Jacob Bright was Liberal MP for different seats in Manchester between 1867 and 1895. His aunt was Priscilla Bright McLaren (1815-1906) a dedicated campaigner for women’s rights and the wife of Duncan McLaren the Liberal MP for Edinburgh from 1865 to 1881. His brother, William Leatham Bright (1851-1910), was Liberal MP for Stoke-on-Trent from 1885 to 1890.

As a prominent member of the Society of Friends, John Bright employed Lydia Rous as a teacher for his children. In time he sent his son to the Quaker Grove House School, in Tottenham, London. John Albert later attended University College, London, where he won a prize for experimental physics and gained his B.Sc in 1867. In 1883, he married Edith Eckersley Shawcross, the daughter of W T Shawcross from Rochdale. They had one son and a daughter.

Career
John Albert had no desire to follow in his father’s footsteps and pursue a Parliamentary career, although he did share his Liberal politics and spoke at public meetings, often in support of his father. Instead, he went into the family cotton-spinning and manufacturing business and lived largely outside his father’s shadow.

He did have a public life of his own however. He was a Justice of the Peace for Lancashire and for the Borough of Rochdale where he also served on the School Board and the Town Council.

In November 1890, he chaired a meeting in Rochdale's Duckworth's Hotel, where the Rochdale Photographic Society was founded, and he became the President for the next 12 years.

Politics
In 1889 however, his father’s death plunged him into the world of Parliamentary politics. Bright’s death left a vacancy in the House of Commons constituency of Birmingham Central. At the time the alliance of Liberal Unionists and Conservatives in Birmingham was delicate. The Tories wished to nominate their own candidate to fight the by-election in Birmingham Central and the Liberal Unionists, led by the charismatic Joseph Chamberlain had no desire to cede the seat to them. The Conservatives, distrusting Chamberlain’s former radicalism, immediately put forward Lord Randolph Churchill as the putative candidate but Chamberlain cleverly prevailed on Bright to step into his father’s shoes. The Birmingham Conservatives and Lord Randolph Churchill came under pressure from the party’s Chief Whip at Westminster Aretas Akers-Douglas and from Arthur Balfour, who was closely associated with Churchill. With great reluctance the Tories accepted that Bright should be the Unionist candidate, although some local Conservatives were so indignant they resigned their party posts. Bright easily won the by-election, held on 15 April 1889, against the Gladstonian Liberal  William Phipson Beale by 5,621 votes to 2,561, a majority of 3,060 or 37.4% of the total poll. This election was described by the biographer of John Bright as the Liberal Unionists’ first great victory.
Bright held Birmingham Central until the 1895 general election when he stood down  probably under pressure from Chamberlain who felt he had not come up to his desired standards.

Later, Bright left the Liberal Unionists, perhaps smarting from Chamberlain’s attitude towards him,  and reverted to his father’s original creed of Liberalism. He was Liberal candidate at Montgomery Boroughs in the 1900 general election, narrowly failing to gain the seat, losing by just 169 votes. However he was elected as Member of Parliament for Oldham at the 1906 election standing on a platform in opposition to the tariff reform programme of his old Liberal Unionist chief, Joseph Chamberlain. He retired from politics at the general election of January 1910.

Like his father, Bright held strongly pacifist views. He presided at a meeting held in Manchester in September 1899 to protest the policy which was leading to the Boer War. In their assessment of Bright’s contribution to Parliamentary affairs, The Times reported that he was a useful but inconspicuous member, doing good work in committee, especially in shaping such measures as the Children Act of 1908.

Death
Bright died aged 76 on 11 November 1924 at his home in Rochdale.

In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Chvátal graph is an undirected graph with 12 vertices and 24 edges, discovered by Václav Chvátal in 1970. It is the smallest graph that is triangle-free, 4-regular, and 4-chromatic.

Coloring, degree, and girth
The Chvátal graph is triangle-free: its girth (the length of its shortest cycle) is four. It is 4-regular: each vertex has exactly four neighbors. Its chromatic number is 4: it can be colored using four colors, but not using only three. It is, as Chvátal observes, the smallest possible 4-chromatic 4-regular triangle-free graph; the only smaller 4-chromatic triangle-free graph is the Grötzsch graph, which has 11 vertices but has maximum degree 5 and is not regular.

By Brooks’ theorem, every -regular graph (except for odd cycles and cliques) has chromatic number at most . It was also known since  that, for every  and  there exist -chromatic graphs with girth . In connection with these two results and several examples including the Chvátal graph, Branko Grünbaum conjectured that for every  and  there exist -chromatic -regular graphs with girth . The Chvátal graph solves the case  of this conjecture. Grünbaum's conjecture was disproven for sufficiently large  by Johannsen, who showed that the chromatic number of a triangle-free graph is  where  is the maximum vertex degree and the  introduces big O notation. However, despite this disproof, it remains of interest to find examples such as the Chvátal graph of high-girth -chromatic -regular graphs for small values of .

An alternative conjecture of Bruce Reed states that high-degree triangle-free graphs must have significantly smaller chromatic number than their degree, and more generally that a graph with maximum degree  and maximum clique size  must have chromatic number

The case  of this conjecture follows, for sufficiently large , from Johanssen's result. The Chvátal graph shows that the rounding up in Reed's conjecture is necessary, because for the Chvátal graph, , a number that is less than the chromatic number but that becomes equal to the chromatic number when rounded up.

Other properties
This graph is not vertex-transitive: its automorphism group has one orbit on vertices of size 8, and one of size 4.

The Chvátal graph is Hamiltonian, and plays a key role in a proof by  that it is NP-complete to determine whether a triangle-free Hamiltonian graph is 3-colorable.

The characteristic polynomial of the Chvátal graph is . The Tutte polynomial of the Chvátal graph has been computed by .

The independence number of this graph is 4.

Wingstrike is contact between an aircraft's wing and the ground during takeoff or landing, most often as a complication of a crosswind landing.

Unexpected gusts of wind may cause an aircraft to roll to one side or the other during landing, whether they are performing a crosswind landing or not.

However, crosswind landings have a much more complex dynamic relationship between the wind and the aircraft attitude.  Because the wind is blowing across the runway, the aircraft has to either roll or yaw into the wind to be able to approach down the runway's centerline.  As the aircraft transitions from descent to touchdown, the roll and/or yaw have to be countered to land smoothly and stay on the runway.  This transition can cause upsets, particularly in gusting wind.

Damage from wingstrike can range from replacement of wing surface skin areas at the wingtip, to structural damage throughout the wing due to overloads.

Vulnerability
The risk for wingstrike primarily depends on the angle of the line between the tip of the wing and the landing gear.  The position of the landing gear, when calculating that line, should be at the point that it is maximally compressed, for example if the aircraft comes down off center and with its weight entirely on the downwind gear.  The maximum safe angle would be slightly less than that angle - at that angle, the wing will probably hit the runway.

Dynamic flexing of the wing due to landing touchdown loads can also cause wingstrikes.

High wing aircraft, where the wing is located on top of the fuselage, are configured more safely from a wing strike perspective.  Low wing aircraft have the wing closer to the ground.

Nacelle strike
Some aircraft have an engine nacelle (pod) which extends below the line between the landing gear and the wingtip.  In this case, the aircraft may be vulnerable to nacelle strike as well as wingstrike, for the same reasons.

Ansul is a corporation headquartered in Marinette, Wisconsin that manufactures fire suppression systems, extinguishers, and administers fire training. Ansul's initial activities included production of cattle feed, refrigerants and selected specialty chemicals.  The name Ansul comes from ANhydrous SULfur dioxide (SO2), which was sold to die works and fruit preservers, and later as a refrigerant.  Production of fire suppression chemicals began in 1934.  Virginia Chemicals, Inc. (now part of Celanese Corporation) acquired the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Products Division of The Ansul Company in 1967, and by 1983 Ansul had discontinued all other production at the facility in Marinette.  The US government is a major customer for Ansul.

The ANSUL name is a premium brand of Tyco Fire Protection Products. The full line of ANSUL special hazard fire protection products includes fire extinguishers and hand line units; pre-engineered restaurant, vehicle, and industrial systems; sophisticated fire detection/suppression systems, and a complete line of dry chemical, foam, and gaseous extinguishing agents. A common hand-held fire extinguisher produced by Ansul is the SENTRY brand stored-pressure fire extinguisher.

History

Ansul was created by Francis "Frank" G. Hood from the bankrupt Bastol Company, an enterprise started in Marinette in 1912.  It remained independent until 1978, when it was acquired by Wormald International, an Australian corporation.  Wormald was in turn acquired by Tyco International in 1990.  Ansul now exists as a brand of the Tyco Fire Protection segment of Tyco International, which in turn is part of Johnson Controls International plc.

The company changed its name over the years but always kept Ansul as part of its name. From 1915 to 1963 it was the Ansul Chemical Company, from 1963 to 1981: the Ansul Company, and from 1981 to 1995 Ansul Fire Protection. The current name has been used since 1995.

Leadership
Early leadership was quite stable, primarily under the Hood family.  Once the company was acquired, turnover has been much more rapid as evidenced by this chronology of the presidents of Ansul:
1915–1938: Francis "Frank" G. Hood
1938–1948: Harvey V. Higley
1948–1949: Francis J. Hood
1949–1974: Robert C. Hood
1974–1976: Morris L. Neuville
1976–1980: Terrell L. Ruhlman
1980–1983: William A. Rickel
1983–1986: Marc V. Gross
1987–1990: J. Donald Roland
1990–1992: Mark E. Mathisen
1992–2002: Karl J. Kinkead
2002–2007: Mark VanDover
2007–Aug 2007 as vice president.: Colleen Repplier
2006–present (2017): George R. Oliver (President of Tyco Fire Protection, formerly Tyco Safety Products)

Recalls

2001:  In certain circumstances, seemingly isolated to McDonald's restaurants, detection cables in R-102 systems can fray, fatigue, and fail.  Ansul will pay the suppression company to make repairs.

2006:  Ansul cooperated with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to voluntarily recall about 154,000 K-GUARD, SENTRY and FLAG FIRE Model Fire Extinguishers because if the fire extinguisher is dropped horizontally from a height of approximately 2 to , the internal pick-up tube could crack and the extinguisher can fail to discharge properly.

2006:  SimplexGrinnell LP, ADT Security Services Inc., and Ansul Inc. were distributors for Tyco Fire & Security Fire Detection Systems made in China with faulty sensors.  Sensors could experience reduced sensitivity to smoke in conditions of high humidity and high temperature.  A product safety recall was conducted by the firm in cooperation with the CPSC.

2009:  Marine high pressure carbon dioxide systems are inadvertently discharging due to an internal pressure vent on the cylinder valve that may not be adequately venting pressure.  This can cause the cylinder to actuate, which then causes all other cylinders on the system to actuate.  Marine high pressure carbon dioxide valves with a date code range of 10–07 to 06-08 should be replaced.

Litigation

Ansul was among ten defendants in Miller v. Ansul Inc., Western Fire Protection, et al, Case #688690, San Diego County Superior Court, in 1995.  Miller was injured while depressurizing an unrestrained Halon tank.  Miller won the case.

Former employee Daniel Grace successfully sued Ansul in 1999 for age discrimination.  The case was decided by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

Ansul et al. were named as defendants in a 2005 lawsuit alleging that the use of Agent Orange by the U.S. military led to birth defects for Vietnamese children. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ruled that the defending companies were operating under the direct order of the President and as such could not be sued for the consequences of the use of their product. The court also ruled the British had previously used Agent Orange during the Malayan Emergency in the 1950s and that they set the precedent for America's use during the Vietnam War.

Environmental record

Emissions
Environmentally, Ansul ranked in 2002 among the dirtiest/worst facilities in the US for cancer risk (air and water releases) and non-cancer risk score (air and water releases) due to chromium and copper.  Chemicals discharged from Ansul in 2011 include:

Chemicals transferred to other sites:
certain glycol ethers
chromium
ethylene glycol
lead
tert-butyl alcohol

Chemicals released to the air:
certain glycol ethers
chromium
ethylene glycol
lead
nitric acid
tert-butyl alcohol
zinc compounds

Chemicals released to surface water:

lead
zinc compounds

Arsenic contamination
Surface water near Ansul is the adjacent Menominee River.  The river bottom and groundwater are heavily contaminated with arsenic compounds that were released by Ansul from 1957 to 1977 as a result of herbicide manufacture, with certain spots of river sediment containing levels as high as 11,000 ppm arsenic.  For six of those years (1960–1966), arsenic-laden wastewater was discharged directly into the river.  These discharges and contaminations were the result of an accumulation of more than  of arsenic salt that was at one time stored on site.  The company consequently operated under two consent orders (Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Consent Order 2A-73-714; and Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the WDNR, and Ansul, signed on September 28, 1990).  As a result of the US EPA AOC, Ansul agreed in February 2009 to spend an estimated US$28 million to:
 remove ≈ of arsenic-contaminated sediments from the Menominee River
 construct an impermeable barrier wall to bedrock around
 cap or remove approximately  of surface soils contaminated with arsenic above 16-32 ppm
 pump and treat contaminated groundwater
Total remediation efforts and their costs are:
 1976–1984, US$11 million to pump and treat contaminated groundwater and install a groundwater interceptor trench at the southern edge of the property.
 1998–1999, US$12.4 million to dam and remove arsenic-contaminated sediments from the 8th Street Slip and install an impermeable barrier system to bedrock around the 8th Street Slip and an adjacent Salt Vault
 2012–2013 (est.), $25 million to dredge and cap river sediments.

In November 2011, the local newspaper reported that Tyco (Ansul) is still negotiating with the EPA and WDNR to work out a plan, which has been submitted to the EPA for approval.  Disclosed at a meeting with the Local Menominee River Area of Concern Citizens Advisory Committee was a plan to partially dredge and partially cap the arsenic.  Estimated to cost US$24 million and take two years,  of contaminated sediment would be removed from an area of  -  acres around the Eighth Street Slip, which would be replaced with sand from another (undisclosed) area of the river and topped with stone.  However, the EPA has indicated that it wants Ansul to dredge the sediment from all ≈.  The Tyco proposal also includes capping ≈, leaving  of contaminated sediment in place. If approved, this project would commence in June 2012.

The Tyco proposal was rejected by the EPA in 2012, and  of sediment was ordered to be removed from the main channel, the turning basin, areas directly east of the turning basin, the Sixth Street Slip, and the south channel.  Tyco hired Sevenson Environmental Services of New York as the general contractor for the project, which began in July 2012.  (Sevenson was also the general contractor to clean up the infamous Love Canal site in New York.) The project is slated for completion by Nov. 1, 2013, and the current estimate of cost is US$25 million.

Tyco created a website in 2011 specifically for the cleanup project, featuring reports, news, and FAQs.

Community impact
The arsenic contamination of the river bed has been problematic for a neighboring corporation, Marinette Marine (MMC).  MMC is a shipbuilder with government contracts.  Among their limitations for vessel size is the ship's draft, which must be less than the depth of the Menominee River.  MMC is located immediately upstream of Ansul, and because of the arsenic contamination of the river bed, MMC's desires to dredge the river have been stymied until Ansul's remediation efforts can be completed.  The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) estimated in 1986 that 40,000 cubic yards of sediment would need to be dredged.

The arsenic contamination causes a beneficial use impairment (BUI) resulting in local regulations that restrict anchoring of boats adjacent to the Ansul property, as anchors may disturb the arsenic-laden sediments.  A “Menominee River No Anchor Zone” is conspicuously posted.

USA Today reported that Marinette schools are in the top 5 percentile for the most exposure to air pollution.  St. Thomas Aquinas Academy High School (formerly known as Marinette Catholic Central High School until 2004) is adjacent to Ansul's property, and next to it is the Marinette Middle School (formerly Marinette High School until 1973).  Marinette High School is adjacent to the Ansul Fire Technology Center, where tons of chemicals are used annually to train fire fighters.

Sociological intelligence is military or competitive intelligence concerning the social stratification, value systems, and group dynamics of a population.

Sociological intelligence is useful to a military intelligence system because sociological concepts are key to understanding a region's stability, military capability, and foreign policy. The importance of sociological intelligence has been demonstrated most prominently in recent conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East. The United States' failure to employ sociological intelligence assets was detrimental to dealing with revolutionary Iran, when ignorance and stereotyping of Iranian leadership as "radicals" limited U.S. understanding of the situation.

In competitive intelligence the term  is used to describe a field of sociological enquiry into potential markets or business competitors.

Alfred Fabian Hess (9 October 1875, in New York City – 5 December 1933) was an American physician known for his work on the role of nutrition in scurvy and rickets and for describing the Hess test.

Biography
Hess was born on October 15, 1875, to a Jewish family, the son of Josephine (née Solomon) and Selmar Hess. He graduated from Harvard University in 1897 and received his M.D. from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1901. He worked as an intern at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, for two and a half years, and spent a year studying in Prague, Vienna and Berlin before starting practice in New York in 1905. He married Sara Straus, daughter of Isidor Straus. He worked as a pediatrician at the Rockefeller University before going into private practice. He also worked at the Beth Israel Hospital, New York, and at the Hebrew Infant Asylum in New York, modernising the institution. He was able to study nutrition in patients who were admitted for long periods in those hospitals. His friends included Abraham Flexner and Edwards Amasa Park, who helped to publish Hess's works posthumously.

Hess suggested that rubella was caused by a virus in 1914.

He showed that the missing factor in scurvy was present in citrus fruits and tomatoes, also demonstrating that some dried milk preparations were anti-scorbutic and that pasteurization reduced this effect in fresh milk. Along with Mildred Fish, he conducted studies between 1914 and 1920 to elucidate the etiology of scurvey by withholding orange juice from institutionalized infants until they developed hemorrhages as a result of the disease; he conducted similar studies to elucidate the etiology of rickets.  His work led him to state that the process of food manufacture and preservation should aim to preserve the nutritional value of fresh food in his 1921 Harvey lecture, a concept widely recognised today.

He determined that rickets could be prevented with cod liver oil or exposure to ultraviolet light, and that certain foods could be used to treat rickets after exposure to ultraviolet light.    He ascertained that cholesterol or a closely related compound also behaved in the same way, and he worked with Adolf Otto Reinhold Windaus and published a paper with Windaus in 1927 entitled Development of marked activity in ergosterol following ultraviolet irradiations, showing that rickets could be prevented in rats with irradiated ergosterol. Windaus was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for this work in 1928. Windaus gave Hess credit for his part in the work, and shared the Nobel Prize money with him.

Hess was a member of the American Pediatric Society and the Association of American Physicians, and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree by the University of Michigan. He was given the John Scott Award by the Franklin Institute in 1927, and the John Mather Smith Award in 1931. That same year, he was elected to the American Philosophical Society.

He continued to work despite warnings by his doctor about his hypertension. He collapsed in his car and died after speaking at a graduation ceremony on 5 December 1933.

Personal life
He was married to Sara Straus, daughter of Ida and Isidor Straus; they had three children: Eleanor Hess (born 1906), Margaret Hess (born 1907), and Alfred Selmar Hess (born 1910).

is a Japanese video game, amusement and anime holding company created in 2009 by the merger of Koei and Tecmo. Koei Tecmo Holdings owns several companies, the biggest one of those being its flagship video game developer and publisher Koei Tecmo Games that was founded in 1978 as Koei.

The company is best known for their Nobunaga's Ambition, Dynasty Warriors, Atelier, Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Monster Rancher, Fatal Frame, and Nioh franchises. They are also known for their work on external video game franchises, namely on Square Enix's Final Fantasy and Nintendo's Fire Emblem.

Koei Europe was the first subsidiary to change its name to Tecmo Koei Europe, Ltd and to release video games under the new moniker. In January 2010, Tecmo, Inc. and Koei Corporation followed suit by merging to form Tecmo Koei America Corporation. On April 1, 2010, Tecmo was declared disbanded in Japan. Its sister company Koei survived but was renamed Tecmo Koei Games (today Koei Tecmo Games) and is now the main publishing arm of the group in Japan. The former development divisions of Tecmo and Koei were briefly spun-off as separate companies in March 2010, but folded into Tecmo Koei Games in April 2011. In addition to its primary trademark, Koei Tecmo Games occasionally used the "Koei" and "Tecmo" brand names on new video games for marketing purposes until 2016.

History

Independent era

Koei

Koei Co., Ltd. (株式会社コーエー Kabushiki gaisha Kōē, formerly 光栄 (Kōei)) was founded in July 1978 by husband-and-wife duo  and . Yōichi was a student at Keio University, and when his family's rural dyestuffs business failed he decided to pursue his interest in programming. The company was (and, as Koei Tecmo, still is) located in the Hiyoshi area of Yokohama along with Yoichi's alma mater, and the company's name is simply a spoonerism of the school's.

The company initially focused on personal computer sales and made-to-order business software. In 1983 it released Nobunaga's Ambition (信長の野望 Nobunaga no Yabō), a historical strategy game set during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. The game went on to receive numerous awards, and Koei produced several more such games set against the backdrop of world history, including Romance of the Three Kingdoms, set during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history, and Uncharted Waters (大航海時代 Dai Kōkai Jidai; lit. Great Navigation Era), set in Portugal during the Age of Exploration.

In 1988, Koei established a North American subsidiary, Koei Corporation, in California. This subsidiary localized Koei games for export to all territories outside Japan, as well as producing original games and concepts with the leadership of designer Stieg Hedlund, like Liberty or Death, Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye, and Gemfire . After Hedlund's departure, this subsidiary ceased game development in 1995, focusing instead on localization, sales and marketing.

A Canadian subsidiary, Koei Canada, Inc. was established in early 2001, and a European subsidiary, Koei Limited was established in early 2003 in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. In 2004, a Lithuanian subsidiary was formed.

Tecmo

, formerly known as , was founded by Yoshihito Kakihara on July 31, 1967, as a supplier of cleaning equipment. Two years later, in 1969, it started to sell amusement equipment. Tecmo had its headquarters in Kudankita, Chiyoda, Tokyo. Tecmo's United States offices were located in Torrance, California.

In March 1981, a U.S. division was inaugurated as U.S. Tehkan, Inc.. A month later, in April 1981, Tehkan released in Japan its first arcade video game titled Pleiades (which was distributed in America by Centuri). When it was still called Tehkan, the company also released such classic games as Bomb Jack and Tehkan World Cup. On January 8, 1986, Tehkan officially changed its name to Tecmo. In 1989 Tecmo was named as co-defendant in a lawsuit, when Indianapolis Colts running back Eric Dickerson sued the NFLPA over use of his likeness in the game Tecmo Bowl.

In 2006, Founder, President and Chairman Yoshihito Kakihara died of interstitial pneumonia.

On June 3, 2008, Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki resigned from the company and filed a 145 million yen ($1.3 million) lawsuit for "unpaid completion bonuses" and "emotional distress". This was followed by another lawsuit filed on 16 June by two plaintiffs on behalf of Tecmo's 300 employees for unpaid wages amounting to ¥8.3 million.

Merger and reorganization
On August 20, 2008, Tecmo announced the resignation of president Yoshimi Yasuda, to be replaced by current Chairman of the Board Yasuharu Kakihara as of September 1. On August 28, Square Enix announced plans for a friendly takeover of Tecmo by purchasing shares at a 30 percent premium with a total bid of ¥22.3 billion. They gave Tecmo until September 4 to either accept or reject the proposal. Upon hearing this news on August 31, Kenji Matsubara, President and COO of Koei, called a board meeting for the next day, September 1. The board discussed the possibility of a merger with Tecmo, and began discussions with Tecmo that same day. On September 4, 2008, Tecmo officially declined Square Enix's proposal, and later that same day announced plans to merge with Koei.

In November, the companies announced their specific plan of action, to complete the merger on April 1, 2009, forming Tecmo Koei Holdings. Koei stock was to be exchanged for Tecmo Koei stock at a rate of 1:1, and Tecmo stock exchanged at .9:1, giving Koei shareholders, in total, a three-quarter stake in the new company. Though the combined profits in 2007 were 8.5 billion yen, they anticipated that the merged company would net over 16 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 2012. Effissimo Capital Management Pte, Tecmo's second-largest shareholder at 17.6%, openly opposed the merger. On January 26, 2009, the shareholders for both Koei and Tecmo reached separate agreements in favor of the merger. Effissimo raised some dissent during the meeting, and implied they may seek to sell their shares. Effissimo's director Takashi Kosaka stated "We have not had sufficient information from the company to make a judgment on the merger, such as the feasibility of their plan to raise shareholder value." On February 12, Kenji Matsubara liquidated KOEI France SAS. On February 13, Tecmo announced it had received a repurchase claim (a request for the company to buy stock back) from a major shareholder, 15.64% of the stock (3,890,700 shares) from a shareholder that stood in opposition to the firm's upcoming merger with Koei. While the requesting shareholder was not mentioned, Reuters stated that it was likely Effissimo.

Despite these misgivings, the holding company formed on April 1, 2009, as planned. The development divisions of both companies were spun-out into separate subsidiaries, created specifically for the planning and development of software, operating directly under the holding company. Kenji Matsubara became CEO of the new company, and former Tecmo CEO Yasuharu Kakihara became board chairman. As of May 26, Tecmo Koei had still not reached an agreement with Effissimo, prompting the investment fund to seek mediation with the Tokyo District Court. While Tecmo Koei favored a stock value in the mid-600 yen range, Effissimo was expected to ask for at least 900, in part due to the rejected Square Enix offer of 920 per share.

On June 23, 2009, Tecmo Koei announced a planned restructure of its international subsidiaries. Koei Europe was renamed Tecmo Koei Europe in 2009 and became the first subsidiary to publish games under the new moniker, starting with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. In August 2009 Tecmo Koei announced that it was setting up a subsidiary in Hanoi, Vietnam. In January 2010, Tecmo's sole subsidiary, the American Tecmo Inc., and Koei's American branch, Koei Corporation, were moved under a newly formed Tecmo Koei America Corporation, itself a direct subsidiary to Tecmo Koei Holdings. Koei's Canadian, Korean, and Taiwanese subsidiaries were re-branded Tecmo Koei, and also moved to direct subsidiaries of the holding company. Later that month the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced that Tecmo Koei was now a member.

On April 1, 2010, Koei absorbed Tecmo in Japan to become Tecmo Koei Games, which renamed itself to Koei Tecmo Games in 2014.  Koei Singapore was also re-branded as Tecmo Koei.

Post-merger
The continued operating loss prompted Kenji Matsubara, the former president and CEO of both Tecmo Koei Holdings and Tecmo Koei Games label, to render his resignation in November 2010. Yoichi Erikawa, co-founder of Koei, took over the four positions vacated by Matsubara.

On February 8, 2011, Tecmo Koei Holdings announced that the new individual developers Tecmo and Koei that were formed in March 2010 would be merged into Tecmo Koei Games in April 2011, though the company will continue to develop under the Tecmo and Koei brands.

On July 1, 2014, the company and its related subsidiaries were renamed from Tecmo Koei to Koei Tecmo.

On February 18, 2016, Koei Tecmo announced a second reorganization of the company, to support the expansion of the company. Brand names Team Tachyon, Koei and Tecmo, amongst others, were dropped.

The Great Fantasia and Fugue in G minor, BWV 542, is an organ prelude and fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach.  It acquired that name to distinguish it from the earlier Little Fugue in G minor, which is shorter.  This piece is not to be confused with the Prelude and Fugue in A minor, which is also for organ and also sometimes called "the Great".

Bach's biographer Spitta and some later scholars think that the Fugue was improvised in 1720 during Bach's audition for an organist post at St. James' Church in Hamburg. Assuming this is correct, the theme or subject of the Fugue, a Dutch popular tune (called 'Ik ben gegroet van...'), would have been given to Bach for him to demonstrate his talents as an improviser.
It has been suggested by musicologist Christoph Wolff that the choice of a Dutch tune was in homage to Johann Adam Reincken, the long-serving organist at St. Catherine's Church, Hamburg, who was born in the Netherlands.
During his 1720 trip to Hamburg Bach is believed to have met Reincken, whose music he had known since his teens.

The Fantasia may have been composed separately during Bach's time in Köthen (1717–23).

No autograph manuscript of either the Fantasia or the Fugue survives, and no manuscript of the Fantasia survives from the composer's lifetime.  It is not clear whether the practice of coupling the Fantasia with the Fugue derives from the composer himself.  William H. Bates writes:

There are many variant textual readings in the manuscripts, perhaps most prominently in the final chord of the Fantasia, which is recorded as both G major and G minor.  Some manuscripts preserve the fugue in the key of F minor rather than G minor; this transposition was probably performed in order to make the fugue playable on an organ whose pedals lacked a high D, and may well have been approved or even carried out by the composer himself.

Arrangements
The work was transcribed for piano by Franz Liszt as S.463. Modern arrangers have orchestrated the work.

Sir John Christopher Powell (born 4 October 1943) is a British advertiser. He is the son of Air Vice-Marshal John Frederick Powell, OBE.

Advertiser
Powell joined the advertising agency Boase Massimi Pollitt (BMP) in 1969, was appointed to the board in 1972 and made managing director three years later. Rhys Williams wrote in 1999 "He is one of the most respected practitioners of his trade".

An early campaign created by BMP while under Powell's management was for the Smash potato brand, featuring potato-loving Martians; this advertisement was voted Britain's favourite at the time. In 1983 BMP floated on the London Stock Exchange valued at £16 million. After a hostile bid by a French company, BMP was bought in 1989 for £125 million ($200 million) by DDB Worldwide, part of Omnicom Group, a US holding company controlling many agencies.

Powell later became BMP DDB's CEO, and subsequently chairman.

Powell was knighted for services to the advertising industry at the end of 2008. BMP DDB was the Labour Party's advertising agency from 1972 to 1997.

Commerce
Powell was Chair of NESTA from 2003 to 2010, and was chair of the Institute of Public Policy Research think tank; the British Council's Creative Industries Advisory Panel; the Ealing Hammersmith and Hounslow Health Authority; and Vice Chair of the Public Diplomacy Board. He serves on the Government's Science Forum and the Board of Riverside Studios.

He is a member of the Corporate Finance Advisory Board at Pricewaterhouse Coopers, advising on corporate finance in the entertainment and media sector, and has NED roles at Dr Foster, Renew, ParcelGenie.com, and UBM.

Personal life
He has three brothers, Charles, Roderick, and Jonathan Powell.  Charles was Margaret Thatcher's private secretary for foreign affairs; Jonathan was chief of staff to Tony Blair.

Saint Theodotus of Ancyra (Greek: Θεόδοτος Άγκυρας) was a fourth-century (fl. 303 AD) Christian martyr.

Hagiography
On 18 May, the Roman Martyrology says: "At Ancyra, in Galatia, the martyr Saint Theodotus and the saintly virgins Thecusa, his aunt, Alexandra, Claudia, Faina, Euphrasia, Matrona and Julitta," etc. They are mentioned in all the menologies, and Theodotus has a special feast on 7 June.

According to the Acts (Acta Sanctorum, May, IV, 147), Theodotus was a married man who kept an inn at Ancyra, the capital of the Roman province of Galatia. He is described as a man very zealous in the performance of his Christian duties, endowed with many virtues, especially charity towards his neighbour, bringing sinners to repentance and strengthening many in their faith during the persecution which the Roman governor Theoctenus was carrying on in the province, about 303, in accordance with the imperial edict of Diocletian.

The name of a certain Victor is mentioned as one who grew weak in his profession of Christianity and received much encouragement from Theodotus. Theoctenus ordered that all provisions exposed for sale should first be offered to the idols. Theodotus laid in stores of goods, and his house became a refuge for the Christians, a hospital for the sick, and a place for Christian worship.

At Malos, about five miles from Ancyra, he sought out the body of the martyr, Valens, and gave it a Christian burial. Returning to Ancyra, he found the Christians in great trouble. The seven virgins mentioned above had been called before the judges and made a valiant profession of their faith; they were then sent to a house of debauchery, but preserved their purity. Then they were obliged to suffer cruel torments, and were cast into the sea with stones attached to their bodies.

According to legend, Theodotus succeeded in retrieving the bodies and honourably burying them. In consequence, he was arrested, and, after many sufferings, was killed by the sword; his body was miraculously brought to Malos and there entombed by the priest, Fronto. A chapel was built over the grave, and the saint was held in great veneration.

The Picnic Islands are a small group of islands within the city of Miami, Florida, United States.  They are located just north of Biscayne Island in Biscayne Bay, just east offshore from the Edgewater and Upper Eastside districts of the city.  The islands are uninhabited, but several of the group have beaches where boaters and picnickers frequent.

They are generally named for the mainland city parks that they are located next to in the bay.  The southernmost one is Pace Picnic Island, located off Pace Park.  There are also Morningside Picnic Islands Park and Legion Picnic Islands Park located directly off of Morningside Bayfront Park and Legion Park, respectively.

José Luis Santamaría Buitrago (born 14 January 1973) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central defender.

Club career
After unsuccessfully rising through the ranks of Real Madrid, Madrid-born Santamaría joined Real Valladolid for the 1995–96 campaign, appearing in 41 La Liga matches in his second season and subsequently becoming an essential defensive player. For three years, he often partnered another Real Madrid youth product in the back-four, José García Calvo.

From 2000 to 2004, however, a bad run with injuries and subsequent loss of form limited Santamaría to just 18 games (none in his last year), and he retired in June 2004 with 185 competitive appearances for the Castile and León club. His only goal as a professional and in the top flight occurred on 1 March 1998, when he opened a 2–1 home win against CD Tenerife.

Personal life
Santamaría was nicknamed "Funny One" during his playing career, due to his love for books.

His father kept a saloon on West Maple Street, and the family lived upstairs.  His father also worked as a Columbus police officer for many years.

Hartley attended the parish school at St. Patrick, then entered St. Aloysius Seminary in Columbus.  When that seminary closed, he attended Mount St. Mary's Seminary of the West in Norwood, Ohio, then Our Lady of Angels Seminary in Niagara, New York.
