Joseph Arthur Campanella (September 3, 1930February 15, 1967) was a professional American football player who played linebacker for six seasons for the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Colts.

After retiring from professional football, Campanella, at the encouragement of Carroll Rosenbloom, the owner of the Baltimore Colts, pooled his money with Alan Ameche and Louis Fischer, who was Campanella's classmate from Ohio State, and they became early investors in some restaurants.   The first store, called "Ameche’s Drive-In" in Glen Burnie, Maryland, featured the Powerhouse and Kingfish sandwiches served with the Special "35" Sauce. The number of stores slowly grew beyond the flagship drive-in.

In the early 1960s Ameche, Fischer and Campanella wanted to expand, so they started looking for a fourth partner.  They had approached and been turned down several times by Gino Marchetti, the All Pro defensive lineman.  Marchetti had decided that when he retired he would return to California to join his brothers at a gas station in Alameda, in the Bay Area.

Campanella left the group in 1963 and started his own restaurant, Rustler Steak House, and later sold it after opening five stores and returned to work with his partners after less than a year. The restaurant later changed hands including Marriott Corporation selling it to Tenly Enterprises in 1973, and it was later sold in 1985 to Collins Foods.

In 1966, after Don Kellett retired as general manager of the Colts, Carroll Rosenbloom invited Joe to re-join the football team as the VP and general manager.  Although it was a career shift back into sports, Campanella decided to follow his heart, and he accepted the job.  One reason for the decision was that Campanella had a great deal of respect and admiration for the coach, Don Shula.[2]

Death
Campanella's sudden and untimely death occurred in February 1967: he was 36.  Joe had stayed physically active, often running or playing ball with friends.  All that ended several months after beginning his stint as general manager of the Colts.  Campanella was playing a friendly round of handball with Don Shula and a buddy at the Downtown Athletic Club when he became short of breath and asked to stop. After stumbling, Campanella said he had to get off the court.  He never made it, dying in Shula's arms. At the time doctors thought it was a heart attack.  Rosenbloom and the entire Colt organization were in shock.  Don Shula tearfully remarked, "He was just a wonderful human being; one of my closest friends."  Gino Marchetti was overcome with grief at Campanella's funeral, saying: "If I live to be 100, I will never meet a better friend.  He showed me the right directions to go: in business, and spiritually by bringing me back to the church. He meant to me what air means to the body. If you want to know what a real man is like, well man, he was!"

Chorizanthe palmeri is a species of flowering plant in the buckwheat family known by the common name Palmer's spineflower. It is endemic to California, where it is known only from the Central Coast Ranges of western Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties.

It grows on mountain slopes of serpentine soils. This herb is variable in appearance, with isolated populations often appearing quite different from one another, but not different enough to be considered separate taxa. In general, it is an erect plant growing up to 40 centimeters tall. The stem, leaves, bracts, and flowers can all be reddish to decidedly purple-red in color, and when a good-sized population is in bloom it can be spotted even from aircraft as a mark of red against an otherwise brownish hillside landscape. The inflorescence is a cluster of flowers surrounded by six red or purple bracts with hooked awns. The flower is a few millimeters across and is red or purple with a white or yellow throat.

The Tula–Waja, or Tula–Wiyaa languages are a branch of the provisional Savanna languages, closest to Kam (Nyingwom), spoken in northeastern Nigeria. They are spoken primarily in southeastern Gombe State and other neighbouring states.

They were labeled "G1" in Joseph Greenberg's Adamawa language-family proposal and later placed in a Waja–Jen branch of that family.

Guldemann (2018) observes significant internal lexical diversity within Tula-Waja, partly as a result of word tabooing accelerating lexical change. Although noun classes have been lost in Dadiya, Maa, and Yebu, Waja and Tula retain complex noun class systems. Kleinewillinghöfer (1996) also observes many morphological similarities between the Tula–Waja and Central Gur languages, a view shared by Bennett (1983) and Bennett & Sterk (1977).

Languages
Awak: Awak (Yebu), Kamo
Cham–Mona: Dijim-Bwilim, Tso
Dadiya
Tula: Bangwinji, Tula, Waja

Classification
Ulrich Kleinewillinghöfer (2014), in the Adamawa Languages Project website, classifies the Tula–Waja languages as follows. Kleinewillinghöfer considers Tso and Cham to be branches that had diverged earlier. Waja is considered by Kleinewillinghöfer to be a distinct branch, although its exact position within Tula-Waja remains uncertain.

Greenstone Hill is a suburb on the East Rand of Gauteng Province in the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality in South Africa. It has only recently been developed although much of the surrounding areas such as Edenvale and Modderfontein have been developed and established for quite some time.

Transport

It is located within a short drive to O. R. Tambo International Airport (IATA: JNB, ICAO: FAOR), which is Africa's biggest and busiest airport and a major international and domestic transport hub in the region.

Greenstone Hill, along with its neighboring town of Edenvale, are within close proximity to 4 major roads, these being the N3 freeway (Johannesburg Eastern Bypass), the R24 freeeway (which runs from Johannesburg city centre to O.R. Tambo International Airport), Modderfontein Road (R25) and the N12 highway.

Public transport
The rapid rail line Gautrain passes to the east and the north of Greenstone Hill and the closest stations are Rhodesfield and Marlboro. As of October 2018 a midibus service links Greenstone mall to Marlboro station with buses every 30 minutes during peak times and every hour during off peak times.

Businesses
Greenstone Hill is also the location of the Greenstone Shopping Mall  which was opened in 2007. Expansions of this mall and the nearby Stoneridge Centre, along with other smaller shopping center's such as Eden-Meadows, Greenstone Crescent, and Stoneridge Centre has made Greenstone Hill a big drawcard for shoppers and entertainment seekers from all over the city.

The nearby Longmeadow Business Park has made Greenstone Hill a convenient place to purchase residential property and as a result, a lot of residential development has been constructed or is still under construction here. These properties are mostly in the form of town houses and apartments within a Body Corporate, but there are also many free standing houses within residential estates. A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom town house can be purchased for around R1,550,000 (approx. US$110,000).  The free standing house can be purchased from R2 800 000 up to R6 000 000 (approx. $200k - $428k).

Lifestyle living

The population of Greenstone Hill is generally younger, typically persons who have recently left home or those who have young families. A typical townhouse or apartment complex ranges from 600 to 1100 units where these apartments offer renters or homeowners options from 1 bedroom-1 bathroom through to 3 bedroom-2 bathroom variations. Free standing houses are situated within the 5 residential estates (Thorn Valley Estate, Bushwillow Park Estate, Emerald Estate, Pebble Creek Estate and Waterstone Park Estate).  All of which are considered to be a very secure living option.
Although the square kilometre radius of Greenstone Hill may seem quite small when compared to the neighbouring suburbs, there is a sense of luxury living associated with the area hence a high level of affluent residents and property investors are found in the area.
Greenstone Hill seems to portray a fairly decent active lifestyle where a large contingency of joggers and cyclists are noticeable, this is over and above the advent of a number of gyms and crossfit boxes opening up within the area.

Scott Chandler is a fictional character from ABC daytime drama, All My Children. He was most recently portrayed by Adam Mayfield from April 9, 2009 to October 13, 2010. Previously, Scott was portrayed, most notably by Daniel Cosgrove from November 27, 1996 to July 28, 1998, and Forbes March from April 19, 1999 to September 14, 2000. He is a member of the powerful and wealthy Chandler family. On September 16, 2010, Mayfield, alongside Brittany Allen, were let go as Scott and Marissa Tasker in order for the writers to take the characters in a new direction, and on September 23, 2010, it was revealed that Cosgrove will be returning as Scott on December 27, 2010.

Storylines
Scott is the son of Fred Parker and his wife, Cindy (Ellen Wheeler). Fred was an intravenous drug user, and through the sharing of needles he contracted HIV, which resulted in his death from AIDS. In 1988, Cindy is befriended by Jesse and Angie Hubbard, who take her and Scott into their home. Scott becomes best friends with Jesse and Angie's son Frankie, and the Hubbards are Cindy's closest supporters when she develops AIDS herself. Cindy was ostracized by many Pine Valley residents, including Skye Chandler (Robin Christopher), Enid Nelson (Natalie Ross), and a hate group that sets fire to the Hubbard home. Cindy later died, but not before falling in love with and marrying Skye's uncle Stuart Chandler (David Canary), who adopts Scott.

Scott enrolled in Pine Valley High School in 1995 and developed a crush on his best friend Anita Santos, but she was madly in love with Bobby Warner. Scott then turned to Laura Kirk, a girl he was tutoring. Scott's smarts helped him to skip his senior year of high school and go straight to college. Laura and Scott's relationship never actually went anywhere because Laura had a dark past and felt it better that they go separate ways. Next, he began a romance with Hungarian princess, Gillian Andrassy. Kelsey Jefferson, who liked Scott, teamed up with Ryan Lavery to break them up. After the original plan went bad, Kelsey called immigration to have Gillian deported. Scott told Gillian he would marry her so she wouldn't have to leave, but before they could say, "I do," the wedding was interrupted by Ryan, who was pretending to be rich to get Gillian's attention. Gillian fell for it and married Ryan. That same year the Chandler family was being attacked by Lee Hawkins, who blamed Adam, Scott's uncle, for the death of his wife, Joy. The real story was that Adam and Stuart had sent Joy into hiding to escape her abusive husband. Scott was electrocuted at the Chandler cabin and fell into a coma. After his recovery, Stuart sent him to college in California to escape Lee.

Scott returned to Pine Valley in 1999 to do a documentary about the town. While in Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, he met an assistant: Becca Tyree. They grew very close and Scott wanted to be intimate. Becca turned him down, telling him she was a virgin and was waiting for marriage. Scott told her he would wait for her, but that all went up in smoke when Greenlee Smythe came to Pine Valley. The two had dated back in California, and she was still very much attracted to Scott. Greenlee set it up for Becca to find a sex tape she'd made with him. When Scott found out, he went to confront her but ended up sleeping with her. Becca found the tape and ended their relationship, even though Scott still wanted to be with her. Greenlee made a bet with Leo du Pres to see if he could get Becca to give up her virginity to him. Scott created a website where men placed bets on when the two would sleep together and put it in Leo's name. His plan was abandoned when he found his stepmother Marian Chandler in bed with another man. Before Scott could tell his father, Stuart was thought to have died in a cabin fire. After trying to stay with his family without his father, Scott decided to make a fresh start. He told Becca the website was his idea, and she couldn't forgive him. Scott enrolled into film school at NYU.

In the wake of JR Chandler's intention to make cuts within Chandler Enterprises, Scott returned on April 9, 2009 and greeted his cousin with a punch in the face. Adam had refused earlier to finance Scott's film production company as he had promised Stuart he would. On May 19, Scott learned that his father was killed by a bullet meant for his uncle Adam. His cousin JR and he fought for the attention of Marissa Tasker, the daughter of JR's sworn enemy and ex-father-in-law David Hayward.

Scott had an affair with his uncle's wife Annie Lavery. He and Annie discovered that Adam killed his twin brother Stuart and kept it a secret to protect Adam.

On July 9, 2010, Scott's cousin JR found out that Scott had stolen the Nanotech project from his great-uncle Palmer Cortlandt. Scott became engaged to Annie Lavery in July, but they divorce later that year.  On October 13, 2010, Scott went to prison.

On December 27, Marissa visited Scott in prison to wish him a Merry Christmas and to help him get an early parole. Greenlee Smythe visited Scott in prison on January 10, 2011, letting him know she had an offer for him; she would get him a job as co-owner of Pine Valley Hospital if he befriended Madison North, whom he had met earlier while Greenlee was there to see her father. Scott told Greenlee he was going to do this "his way." Greenlee spoke on Scott's behalf at his parole hearing, and he was released from prison.

Greenlee got Scott a job as a data entry clerk at Pine Valley Hospital (as part of their agreement). He began dating Madison (as part of his side in the agreement).

The Swedish Tourist Association (, ; abbreviated STF), founded in 1885, aims at promoting outdoor life and knowledge among the Swedes about their country.

The Association maintains a variety of trails, huts and hostels in different parts of Sweden. It became known for the creation of Kungsleden, a 440 kilometer long hiking trail in Lapland, through one of Europe's largest remaining wilderness areas.

The association has approximately 300,000 members, employing about 500 people of which 400 for seasonal work, for instance as landlords for 45 fell huts and 10 larger fell hostels.

Dag Hammarskjöld belongs to the association's most prominent leaders. As Secretary-General of the United Nations the only remaining duties Hammarskjöld kept in Sweden were those associated with his vice-chairmanship of Svenska Turistföreningen and his membership of the Swedish Academy. The farm Backåkra, acquired by Hammarskjöld in 1957, is in accordance to his will maintained by STF. A part of the farm serves as a retreat for the members of the Academy.

The Ukrainian patrol vessel Sloviansk (P190) was an  of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Originally named USCGC Cushing when in service with the United States Coast Guard, the vessel was acquired by Ukraine in 2018 and arrived in Ukraine on 21 October 2019.  Sloviansk was sunk in combat on 3 March 2022 by a Russian air-to-surface missile.

She was built at Bollinger Shipyards in Lockport, Louisiana, in early 1988 and commissioned on 4 August 1988, at Coast Guard Base Mobile, Alabama.

Design and construction
The s, including Cushing/Sloviansk, were constructed in Bollinger Shipyards, Lockport, Louisiana. Members of the class have an overall length of . They have a beam of  and, at the time of construction, a draft of . The patrol boats have a displacement of  at full load and  at half load. They are powered by two Paxman Valenta 16 CM diesel engines or two Caterpillar 3516 diesel engines. They have two  3304T diesel generators made by Caterpillar; these can serve as motor–generators. Their hulls are constructed from highly strong steel, and the superstructure and major deck are constructed from aluminium.

The Island-class patrol boats have maximum sustained speeds of . They are fitted with satellite navigation systems, collision avoidance systems, surface radar, and a Loran C system. They have a range of  and an endurance of five days. Their complement is sixteen (two officers and fourteen crew members). Island-class patrol boats are based on Vosper Thornycroft  patrol boats and have similar dimensions.

In U.S. service, Cushing was fitted with one  machine gun and two  M60 light machine guns; it could also be fitted with two Browning .50 caliber machine guns. In Ukrainian service, Sloviansk was armed with a Soviet-era 110-PM autocannon.

Service history

United States Coast Guard
Cushing was commissioned on Coast Guard Day, 4 August 1988, named after Cushing Island, located near Portland, Maine. Throughout her service life, she would partake in a number of humanitarian and military operations. Cushing primarily supported the United States Coast Guard's search and rescue, law enforcement, living marine resources, and counter drug and illegal migrant missions in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic. Cushing was homeported in Alabama, Puerto Rico, and North Carolina during her Coast Guard service.

Cushing was involved in Operation Uphold Democracy, the American backed military intervention in Haiti following the 1991 Haitian coup d'état. In 1994, Cushing was among the 55 Coast Guard cutters operating in support of Operation Able Manner and Operation Able Vigil. These patrols consisted of border security operations, and resulted in the rescue and repatriation of over 63,000 Haitian and Cuban migrants. This was the largest United States Coast Guard operation since the Vietnam War.

Cushing was later transferred to Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, where her primary focus was fisheries and marine law enforcement, as well as search and rescue.

On 8 March 2017 Cushing was decommissioned along with USCGC Nantucket in North Carolina. Two s replaced both cutters the following year. Cushing was laid up in the Coast Guard Yard near Baltimore, Maryland.

Ukrainian Naval Forces
In September 2018, Ukraine was selected to receive the Cushing, as well as her sister ship Drummond through the United States Navy International Programs Office, as part of military aid to the country. The Island-class patrol boat was the first major commissioned ship built in the United States operated by the Ukrainian Navy, which up to this point was composed largely of ships inherited from the breakup of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet into the Russian Black Sea Fleet and the Ukrainian Navy. As a result, the two ships were brought out of storage, and received maintenance and equipment upgrades. Cushing and Drummond were transported to the Black Sea port city of Odesa aboard the Ocean Freedom dry cargo ship, arriving on 21 October 2019.

In Ukrainian service, Cushing was renamed to Sloviansk, in memory of the home town of sailors Roman Napriagila and Sergiy Mayboroda.

Sinking
On 3 March 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Sloviansk was conducting reconnaissance and patrol missions around the port cities of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhne. During this period, the vessel was reportedly sunk by a Russian Kh-31 anti-ship missile. The fate of the crew has not been reported.

The Nimbari language (also Niam-Niam), which is no longer spoken, was a member of the Leko–Nimbari group of Savanna languages. It was spoken in northern Cameroon. Ethnologue (22nd ed.) lists Badjire, Gorimbari, and Padjara-Djabi villages as Nimbari locations in Bénoué and Mayo-Louti divisions.

Nimbari was labeled "G12" in Joseph Greenberg's Adamawa language-family proposal.

Distribution
Nimbari is located near Pitoa (Pitoa commune, Bénoué department) and Mayo-Louti (Figuil commune), Northern Region. The so-called Nyam-Nyam of Mayo-Kébi should not be confused with the so-called Nyam-Nyam of Tignère and Galim (Adamawa Region), whose real name is Nizaa (or Suga), of Mambiloid affiliation.

History and classification
Kastenholz and Kleinewillinghöfer (2012) note that Nimbari cannot be classified with certainty due to limited data. It is a Fali name meaning 'people of Mbari'. People who identify as Nimbari currently speak Kangou (or Kaangu, Kaang), a variety of Southern Fali, and identify the ethnic name Nimbari with their village, Gorimbari. Kastenholz and Kleinewillinghöfer (2012) report from a 2008 field trip that the name Mbaari refers to an inselberg (Fali language: ɡɔ́rì) central to the village of Gorimbari (Gorimbaara [ɡóːrímbáːrà]). Nimbari is derived from the Fali term níí mbáárì 'people/person (niru) of Mbaari'.

Strümpell (1922/23) reported Nimbari to be the autonym of Niam-Niam language speakers. Originally, Strümpell (1910) called the language Niam-Niam, and had documented some limited data of questionable quality from elderly rememberers; the language was already no longer in everyday use at the time of data collection. Kastenholz and Kleinewillinghöfer (2012) note that some items in Strümpell's word list share similarities with Duru languages (Dii, Duupa, Dugun), and also with Samba Leko and Kolbila to a lesser extent. However, many words have no clear parallels with other Adamawa languages.

USS Arizonan (ID-4542A), also written ID-4542-A was a United States Navy cargo ship and troop transport in commission from 1918 to 1919.

Construction and commercial service, 1902–1918
Arizonan was launched in 1902 at San Francisco, California, by the Union Iron Works as the commercial cargo ship SS Arizonan for the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company. She was completed early in 1903 and entered commercial service. Arizonan and her sister ship SS Alaskan—which later served in the U.S. Navy as USS Alaskan (ID-4542)—represented, according to a contemporary account, the "most advanced practice in the construction of ocean-going freighters and ... a most important addition to the American merchant marine." Intended exclusively for carrying freight, Arizonan was designed as a very strong ship with a large stowage capacity.

After the United States entered World War I in 1917, Arizonan came under the control of the United States Shipping Board, which placed her in service under a United States Army account with a U.S. Navy Naval Armed Guard detachment aboard.

United States Navy service, 1918–1919

World War I service
In the summer of 1918, plans were made to have Arizonan manned by the U.S. Navy for the Army account. The Commandant of the 5th Naval District was authorized to fit out the ship for operation by the Naval Overseas Transportation Service (NOTS) as long as the turnover could be accomplished without delaying the loading of the ship's next consignment of cargo. Accordingly, the Shipping Board transferred Arizonan on 10 August 1918 to the U.S. Navy, which gave her the Naval Registry Identification Number (Id. No.) 4542A (sometimes written as 4542-A), and commissioned her on 14 August 1918 as USS Arizonan with Lieutenant Commander Henry R. Patterson, USNRF, in command as she lay at an Army pier in Norfolk, Virginia.

On 16 August 1918, Arizonan moved to Newport News, Virginia, where she took on cargo, including 50 trucks as a deck load, earmarked for the American Expeditionary Force in France. Underway on the morning of 30 August 1918, she crossed the Atlantic Ocean in convoy and, after a brief stopover at Gibraltar from 17 September 1918 to 18 September 1918, reached Marseilles, France, late in the afternoon of 21 September 1918 and, over the ensuing days, discharged her cargo.

Departing Marseilles on 18 October 1918, Arizonan returned to Newport News in ballast, reaching the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway piers on the evening of 7 November 1918. Four days later, on 11 November 1918—the same day upon which the armistice with Germany was signed, ending World War I – Arizonan moved out into the stream, opposite the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company yards. After a drydocking and repairs, she departed for New York City on the afternoon of 18 November 1918.

Postwar service

Undergoing further repairs and alterations first at the Shewan and later at the Morse Drydock company yard, Arizonan was taken in hand for conversion to a troop transport, her armament being removed at the Morse Drydock yard. Reassigned to the Cruiser and Transport Force on 14 December 1918, Arizonan remained at the Morse yard until late in January 1919 before shifting to one of the U.S. Army's major terminals, Bush Terminals, at Brooklyn, New York, to load additional gear in line with her recent metamorphosis into a troopship.

Subsequently, underway on the afternoon of 26 February 1919, Arizonan streamed paravanes soon after sighting the European coast on 11 March 1919, indicative of the precautions taken against any naval mines which might still be in French waters. She reached Bassens, France, a northeastern suburb of Bordeaux where the U.S. Army had built a port facility during the war, on the evening of 12 March 1919. She discharged her cargo there, then moved to Pauillac, France, where she embarked "doughboys" for their trip home to the United States after their World War I service in France. She returned to Bush Terminals at Brooklyn on 3 April 1919.

Arizonan departed Bush Terminals on 12 April 1919 for Bordeaux, where she embarked troops. She returned to Bush Terminals with them on 20 May 1919. She proceeded from Bush Terminals again on 7 June 1919; this time she embarked troops at St. Nazaire, France, and returned to Bush Terminals on 6 July 1919.

Arizonan left Bush Terminals on 11 July 1919 for her fourth voyage to Europe as a troop transport. On 15 July 1919, during her outbound voyage, she encountered the disabled Naval Overseas Transportation Service troop transport USS Edward Luckenbach (ID-1662) and towed her 425 nautical miles (787 kilometers) back toward Boston, Massachusetts. The United States Coast Guard cutter USCGC Ossipee joined the two troop transports on the afternoon of 17 July 1919. On the morning of 19 July 1919, Ossipee took over the towing duty from Arizonan, freeing Arizonan to continue on her voyage to France. Arizonan ultimately made port at St. Nazaire on the morning of 30 July 1919.

Completing her loading of return cargo – accomplished with an unusual labor force consisting of French stevedores and German prisoners-of-war – by 19 August 1919, Arizonan embarked a comparatively small group of passengers (14 U.S. Army officers, six field clerks, and four enlisted men) and got underway that morning for the United States. Reaching Hoboken, New Jersey, on 2 September 1919, Arizonan finished discharging cargo and disembarking her passengers by 11 September 1919 and shifted to the Shewan's yard later that day. She then moved to Hoboken on the afternoon of 17 September 1919. Over the ensuing days, workmen removed and dismantled the trappings of a troopship.

As Arizonan lay moored alongside the U.S. Navy troop transport USS Pretoria at Pier 9, Army Docks, Hoboken, she was decommissioned on 29 September 1919. Her name was struck from the Navy List that same day.

Commercial service from 1919

Returned to the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, the ship operated under the flag of that company as SS Arizonan until she was transferred to Japanese ownership sometime during 1927 or 1928. She disappears from mercantile records soon after that, suggesting that she was scrapped at the end of the 1920s.

SS Arizonanwas in operation in 1942 under American Control with US Navy Armed Guard on board, 114 April 1943 and 11 July 1943. Unsure if this is the same ship but same name and type could have been taken back in Dec 1941 as War prize.

Omata was a New Zealand electorate. It was located in Taranaki and based on the township of Omata. One of the original 24 electorates, it existed from 1853 to 1870.

Population centres
The Omata electorate was named after Omata in Taranaki, a locality just south-west of New Plymouth. The electorate's boundary was a straight line that started at the coast between Omata and New Plymouth, and it proceeded in a south-east direction to near where Patea is located. Population centres located in the electorate included Ōpunake, Manaia, Hāwera, and Eltham. In the 1870 electoral redistribution, the Omata electorate was abolished. The electorate's area was effectively increased towards the east (the easternmost boundary reached the Whanganui River), gaining a large area from the Grey and Bell electorate, and the name changed to  after Mount Egmont, the original European name of Mount Taranaki.

History
The Omata electorate was one of the twenty-four original electorates, used in New Zealand's first general election. In 1853, William Crompton was returned elected unopposed. In the , Alfred William East beat the incumbent by a six-vote margin. East resigned in March 1860 before the end of his term when he accepted a government appointment. In the resulting by-election on 16 April 1860, James Crowe Richmond was returned unopposed.

The following Members of Parliament represented the Omata electorate:

The Nyingwom or Kam language is a Niger-Congo language spoken in eastern Nigeria. Blench (2019) lists speakers residing in the main villages of Mayo Kam and Kamajim in Bali LGA, Taraba State. Lesage reports that Kam is spoken in 27 villages of Bali LGA.

Nyingwom was labeled as branch "G8" in Joseph Greenberg's Adamawa language family proposal. The precise classification of Kam is a matter of current research.

Speakers refer to themselves and their language as Nyí ŋwɔ̀m. Kamajim (Kam: àngwɔ́g ɲí 'house of the people') is the traditional capital of the Kam at the western foothills of a mountain range situated to the north of the Kam River. The Kam have historically been in extensive contact with the Kororofa Jukun.

Distribution
Kam or Nyingwom is spoken by approximately fewer than 5,000 speakers in the settlements of:
Sarkin Dawa (70)
Mayo Kam (150)
Garin Hamza (700)
Din Kamaajin A, B, C, D (3,000)
Garin Laa (300)
Garin Bandari (300)

However, Jakob Lesage estimates 20,000-25,000 speakers in 27 villages in May 2017.

Unlike many other Niger-Congo languages, Kam does not have a noun class system.

Population centres
The electorate covered the northern, rural part of the Taranaki Province. The localities of Inglewood and Waitara fell within Grey and Bell.

History
Thomas King resigned in 1855, but the seat was not filled before the next general election through a by-election. Brown resigned on 16 August 1856 to (unsuccessfully) contest the Taranaki superintendency. He was again elected in 1858 and resigned in 1860, when his militia service required his full attention.

In between Brown's terms, Lewthwaite represented the electorate, who resigned in 1858. Thomas King and William Cutfield King contested the 1860 election. The latter won the contest, but was killed in the New Zealand Wars before he could take up the seat. Robert Trimble won the 1879 election.

Members of Parliament
The following Members of Parliament represented Grey and Bell:

Albert "Arthur" Hartshorne (December 1880 – 10 February 1915) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Burslem Port Vale and Stoke, and in the Southern League for Northampton Town and Southampton.

Career
Hartshorne played for Moxley White Star and Wolverhampton Wanderers, before joining Port Vale in June 1902. He was a regular throughout the 1902–03 season, scoring three goals in 28 Second Division appearances. He was sold to local rivals Stoke in April 1903 to ease Vale's financial troubles. At the Victoria Ground, Hartshorne played as a regular in the 1903–04 and 1904–05 campaigns, and was fast becoming a popular player with the supporters due to his 'hard yet controlled' tackling skill. He made 53 First Division appearances for the "Potters". It came as a disappointment then when he was sold to Southampton in the summer of 1905. He helped the "Saints" to claim a second-place finish in the Southern League in 1905–06 and was an ever-present in their run to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. He later played for Southern League rivals Northampton Town.

Later life
Hartshorne became a tool-maker after the end of his football career. At the outbreak of the First World War, he enlisted in the Staffordshire Regiment. He died of wounds on 10 February 1915 and was buried at Boulogne Eastern Cemetery.

Style of play
Hartshorne was a "well-built" and pacey left-back who boasted good ball-control skills.

The 1949 British Grand Prix was a Grand Prix motor race which was held at Silverstone on 14 May 1949. The race was won by Emmanuel de Graffenried driving a Maserati 4CLT.

Background

The 1949 Grand Prix was held just seven months after the 1948 event on a substantially modified layout. For 1949 the layout used perimeter roads only, no longer running down the runways. The layout was much the same as that used until 1973 with the exception of a tight chicane at what became Club corner in order to ensure cars were tested at both high and low speeds.

Also new for 1949 was the RAC being granted Grande Epreuve status for their race, officially adopting the title of British Grand Prix.

Entries
Although a large entry was attracted, in spite of the increased importance placed on the event the entry did not include any true factory entries.

Practice and qualifying
Practice began on the Thursday before the race, although not all competitors arrived, some having travelled from the 1949 Roussillon Grand Prix in Perignan. Peter Walker set the fastest time on Thursday in 2 minutes 13.2. Luigi Villoresi was still tired, having arrived directly from Perignon, but was able to set second fastest time in 2 minutes 14.4, followed by Tony Rolt (2 minutes 15.8) and Cuth Harrison (2 minutes 16.4).

Times improved the following day as more of the international drivers had arrived. Villoresi would improve on his Thursday time to be fastest of all in 2 minutes 9.8, followed by Bira, who had also arrived from Perignan, in 2 minutes 10.2. The next fastest times set on Friday were by Emmanuel de Graffenried (2 minutes 13.6) and Bob Gerard (2 minutes 14.4).

The starting grid was arranged in  rows of five, then four, then five, and so on.

Classification

Race
Bira made the best start in his Maserati, leading Villoresi's similar car by a clear two lengths at the first corner, followed closely by two more Maseratis, driven by de Graffenried, and by Reg Parnell taking advantage of starting directly behind the fastest drivers. Fifth was the ERA of Gerard. Villoresi overtook Bira for the lead on the third lap, as the pair pulled away from the rest of the field.

On lap 24, Bira regained the lead, and Villoresi began slowing, stopping for fuel at the end of lap 27 and dropping to fourth place behind Parnell moving into second place just slightly ahead of de Graffenried. Behind Villoresi was the Alta of George Abecassis in fifth and another Maserati, that of Fred Ashmore, in sixth. After thirty laps Bira had lapped every car outside of the top four. Not long after this Abecassis lost most of his exhaust pipe but continued on unfazed, while at the same time Villoresi stopped again, this time retiring with a loss of oil pressure.

Bira began suffering from brake fade, allowing Parnell to slowly close the gap but after 40 laps they were still around 40 seconds apart, with de Graffenried now around 20 seconds behind Parnell, followed now by Gerard and the Talbot-Lago of Philippe Étancelin. On his 48th lap Bira was unable to slow for the Club chicane, colliding with the straw bales and a barrel, damaging his suspension too much to continue, giving the lead to Parnell. At the halfway point (50 laps), Parnell lead de Graffenried by 23.6 seconds, followed by Gerard in third from Billy Cotton (who had taken over David Hampshire's ERA), and the Talbot-Lagos of Louis Rosier and Étancelin.

Parnell did not lead for long, however, as his axle oil plug popped out, losing him the lead. He would stop three more times over the next few laps and eventually retired after 69 laps due to a broken rear axle. So then after 60 laps the order was de Graffenried over three minutes ahead of Gerard, the soon to retire Parnell, Cotton, the two Talbot-Lagos, Ashmore and the Alta of Abecassis back up to seventh after losing a significant amount of time with carburettor trouble. Soon after Rosier took his Talbot-Lago into fourth place ahead of Cotton.

For the final 30 laps Gerard began to catch de Graffenried but was still some way back. His progress was helped by de Graffenried making a second stop for fuel on lap 85, but only managed to come within a minute of leading. So then de Graffenried won the race in a time of nearly four hours, 65 seconds ahead of Gerard who was himself a lap clear of third placed Rosier, the only driver to complete the race without stopping for fuel.

The United States Baseball League was a short-lived prospective third major professional baseball league that was established in New York City in 1912 and lasted only one partial season.

History
In March 1912, organizers of the proposed league – described by members of the sports establishment as an "outlaw league" – met in New York's Hotel Imperial. The U.S. Baseball League subsequently organized teams in Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York, Reading, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; and Washington, D.C. The league president was William Witmann.

Sports historian Rudolf K. Haerle observed that the U.S. Baseball League "stressed the inherent 'good' of baseball for all individuals and communities, and indicated that it wished to conduct its business in the accepted capitalist style–free competition in the marketplace". Despite these lofty ambitions, the league quickly incurred the scorn and hostility of the baseball establishment. Additionally burdened with weak leadership, limited financing, poor attendance, and a lack of skillful players, the U.S. Baseball League "folded after about one month of action".

Legacy
Many sports historians view the U.S. Baseball League as "a major precursor to the Federal League of 1914–1915". The Federal League, which was the last independent major league, was financed by magnates including oil "baron" Harry F. Sinclair.

Teams
Chicago Green Sox
Cincinnati Cams/Pippins
Cleveland Forest City
New York Knickerbockers
Pittsburgh Filipinos
Reading
Richmond Rebels
Washington Senators

Standings
The league's regular season began May 1, 1912 and ended June 5. The Richmond Times Dispatch released the intended 126-game USL schedule, to have run from April 8 through September 22.

Ballparks
 Bronx Oval – New York
 Exposition Park – Pittsburgh
 The Fairgrounds – Lynchburg
 Georgetown Park – Washington, D.C.
 Hippodrome Park – Cincinnati, Ohio (also referred to as United States Park)
 Gunther Park (Clark St and Leland Ave) – Chicago; now Chase Park
 National Association Grounds – Cleveland
 Lee Park (Moore Street and North Boulevard) – Richmond; became Boulevard Field of the Richmond Climbers in 1917, and now The Diamond

The Cake Eaters is a 2007 American independent drama film about two small town families who must confront old issues with the return of one family's son. The film was directed by Mary Stuart Masterson (in her feature film directorial debut) and stars Kristen Stewart, Aaron Stanford, Bruce Dern, and Jayce Bartok. Kristen Stewart is featured as Georgia, a young girl with Friedreich's ataxia, a rare disease for which there is no cure.

Plot

The Cake Eaters is a small-town, ensemble drama that explores the lives of two interconnected families coming to terms with love in the face of loss. Living in rural America, the Kimbrough family are a conflicted bunch: Easy, the patriarch and local butcher, is grieving over the recent loss of his wife, Ceci, while hiding a secret ongoing affair for years; Beagle, his youngest son who was left to care for his ailing mother, works in the local high school cafeteria by day but has a burning passion inside that manifests itself through painting street signs; and the eldest son, Guy, has been away from the family for years while pursuing his rock star dream in the big city until the day he learns of his mother's death and that he has missed the funeral.

Upon Guy's return home, relationships between the characters begin to unravel: Beagle's pent up emotions connect with Georgia Kaminski, a terminally ill teenage girl wanting to experience love before it is too late; Easy's long-time affair with Marg, Georgia's eccentric grandmother, is finally exposed to the Kimbrough children; and Guy discovers that in his absence his high school sweetheart, Stephanie, has moved on and started a family of her own. Consequently, The Kimbroughs and Kaminskis manage to establish new beginnings in facing their varied relationships.

Meaning of title
In an interview at the Austin Film Festival in 2007, Jayce Bartok, the movie's screenwriter, was asked about the title's meaning. Bartok is quoted as saying, "The Cake Eaters is a term I grew up with in Pennsylvania. My mom used to use it to describe those who had it made, had their lives mapped out for them, were the most likely to succeed… 'The Cake Eaters.' I thought it was an interesting metaphor for this group of misfits who begin the story searching and longing for love, trying to overcome grief, and through the course of the story… find their 'cake.' They find some love, happiness, peace…." The term was widely popularized as a quote from the 1992 film The Mighty Ducks.

Production
Principal photography of this film began on May 2006 in New York.

Release
The Cake Eaters opened at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 29, 2007, and made the rounds of the independent film circuit, premiering at various film festivals such as the Woodstock Film Festival, Lone Star International Film Festival, Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival. It was eventually given a limited theatrical release on March 13, 2009, and debuted on DVD on March 24, 2009.

Critical reception
The Cake Eaters holds a "fresh" rating of 64% at Rotten Tomatoes based on 25 reviews with an average rating of 6.01/10. The site’s critics consensus reads, "Though light on theme and craftsmanship, The Cake Eaters relies on fine performances and brisk direction to provide an affecting tale of small-town life."

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, who gave it three out of four stars, praised Masterson for a good debut. Stephen Holden of The New York Times called it a "small, overcrowded ensemble piece" that is "elevated" by "superior acting" into "something deeper". Other critics, such as Rex Reed of the New York Observer, Bill Goodykoontz of the Arizona Republic, and V.A. Musetto of the New York Post, also gave favorable reviews, with Musetto, in particular, lamenting the fact that it had taken two years for the film to be released theatrically.

Not all reception was positive however, with Erin Trahan of the Boston Globe, Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times, and Aaron Hillis of Village Voice, among others, giving it negative reviews. Goldstein, in particular, was sharply critical of what he described as "a bland ensemble drama with an unremarkable script."

The Bahu Fort is a historic fort in the city of Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir. Constructed on the banks on Tawi River,  the ancient fort is believed to have been constructed by Bahu Lochan - brother of the traditional founder of Jammu, Jambu Lochan. It is believed that the first renovation of this fort was undertaken during Dogra Rule in 18th century. The fort is a religious place, and within its precincts has a temple dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali. The temple is known locally as the "Bawe Wali Mata temple".

Legend
The building of the city of Jammu and the Bahu Fort  are linked to a legend. Raja Jambu Lochan, when on a hunting trip, witnessed a curious scene of a tiger and a goat drinking water side by side at the same location in the Tawi River, without the tiger attacking. The Raja considered this a divine direction to establish his new capital here, as the scene he witnessed at this site represented peaceful coexistence. His brother, Bahu Lochan, is credited with building the fort.

Topography
The fort is located on a high plateau land overlooking the Tawi River on its rocky left bank with an average elevation of 325m. The forest area that surrounds the fort has been developed into a well laid out park called the "Bagh-e-Bahu", from where a commanding view of the city of Jammu could be seen. The garden attracts a large number of visitors.

The fort, the temple, and the Bagh-e-Bahu garden are located  from the Jammu city centre. The city road to Surinsar was widened for providing approach to an Oil drilling exploration project. However, this project was shelved and consequently the widened new road provided better access to the fort and the temple, and the number of visitors to these places has since increased.

History

The earliest historical recorded link to the fort is that of Raja Jambu Lochan and his brother Bahu Lochan, sons of a powerful ruler Agnigarbha II of the Jammu dynasty of Suryavanshi kings. Bahu, the eldest of Agnigarbha's 18 sons, is credited with establishing the Jammu city and building the fort. The earlier fort structure was modified over the years to a stronger fortified structure. The present fort was rebuilt, probably at the same location as the ancient fort, by Autar Dev, the grandson of King Kapoor Dev in 1585. Over the years the fort underwent demolitions and reconstructions from time to time, until during Sikh Empire the then new Governor/Raja of Jammu Maharaja Gulab Singh reconstructed the present fort in the 19th century, which was further refurbished during the rule of Maharaja Ranbir Singh. They first established temples for their tutelary deities; the image of Mahakali deity in the temple in the fort was brought from Ayodhya.

Bahu fort
The fort structure is located at an elevation of , opposite to the old town of Jammu. The fortified structure has thick walls made of sandstones built with lime and brick mortar. It has eight octagonal towers or turrets connected by thick walls. The towers have enclosures to house guards. The main entry is fit to allow passage of elephants into the fort. A water tank with access for pilgrims to take bath is located on the left entry into the fort. This tank or pond is 6.1× in size and has a water depth of . A pyramidal structure is on the right flank (with very thick walls to withstand any gun attack) of the fort was an ammunition store. An underground chamber here was used a prison. This chamber has a secret exit to escape from the fort in case of any emergencies. The first floor is lavishly built with arches and decorated with floral designs like a Baradari or a palace.

To the right of the temple, there are a few halls which were used in the past as assembly halls and offices of the Quiledar (master of the fort). However, they are not maintained at all. The royal stables were also located within this fort. Substantial renovation and additions to attract visitors have been added during recent years.

Mahakali temple
It is a renowned Shakti temple built within the fort during the 8th century. It has been built in white marble on a raised platform of  height. While it is claimed that it was built during 8th or 9th century, the temple as built looks modern. It is a small temple which can accommodate only a few worshippers at a time at the Mandapa, outside the sanctum sanctorum. In the past, animal sacrifice was practiced at this temple, which has since been discontinued. Today, a priest performs a few rites uttering some religious incantations and sprinkles holy water over the animal (usually a sheep or goat) and then lets it go free. Other food offering made by devotees is a sweet dish called Kadah (pudding), after their wishes placed before the deity are fulfilled.

Another special feature seen in the temple precincts is the presence of a large group of Rhesus monkeys, the largest such group in Jammu and Kashmir State. The monkeys are fed by devotees with sweets, gram etc.

Development works
The fort, which is a heritage site declared by the state government, is proposed to be linked with a rope way running from the Mubarak Mandi Palace, another heritage site in the city. The immediate surroundings have been converted into park with fountains and a small lake for boating. Considering the heritage status of the fort, further conservation works have been planned at a cost of Rs 6.97 million.

Festivals
A popular Hindu festival is known as "Bahu Mela"  is held during the Navaratras in the fort area, twice a year, during March–April and September–October. This attracts a very large number of pilgrims to the fort and the temple located within it. Every week, Tuesday and Sunday are special days of worship at the temple. During the main festival time, special stalls are opened near the fort area selling paraphernalia such as sweets, flowers, incense, coconuts, red cloth and so forth, to make special offerings to the deity in the temple.

Demolition due to heavy rains
On 18 August 2013, a portion of the fort wall collapsed due to many days of heavy rains. No casualties were reported.
