Wells Woodbridge Cooke (25 January 1858 – 30 March 1916), was an American ornithologist who was called the “father of cooperative study of bird migration in America”.

Cooke was the fifth child (of nine) and the eldest son of Rev. Elisha Woodbridge Cook, a Congregational minister, and Martha Miranda (Smith) Cook.  He was born at Haydenville, Massachusetts and grew up largely in the lake region of eastern Wisconsin where he showed an early interest in natural history.  Given a gun at about 12 years of age, he began collecting bird specimens.

He studied at Ripon College and the University of Iowa, eventually graduating from Ripon with an AB degree in 1879 and achieving an AM degree in 1882.  In 1879 he married Carrie Amy Raymond.  After graduating he worked as a teacher in Indian schools in several states for the next six years.

For 16 years from 1885 he worked in colleges, being associated with the University of Vermont (1885–1893) where he was appointed Professor of Agriculture in 1886, the Agricultural College of Colorado (1893–1900), and the State College of Pennsylvania (1900–1901).

Ornithology
During the period he was teaching in the Indian school system, Cooke produced several papers on birds and began to focus on bird migration.  In the winter of 1881–82 Cooke asked for ornithologists in Iowa to send him lists of winter residents and the dates of the first arrivals of spring migrants for a long-term study which later expanded to cover the whole Mississippi valley.

In 1901 Cooke was appointed to a position in the Biological Survey section of the United States Department of Agriculture, based in Washington, D.C.  There, for the last 15 years of his life, he worked mainly on bird migration and distribution, building on the earlier records and network of participants he started in 1881.  He accumulated individual records of migration on cards, many of which he wrote himself, with the total number of cards reaching one million in 1915.  He also published extensively on bird distribution and migration, with a bibliography of over 400 items. He died quite suddenly, of pneumonia in Washington, at the age of 58.

The ninety years of records that Cooke accumulated, along with those who followed him, are now held by the North American Bird Phenology Program.

Southern Nevada (SNV) is a region and the southern portion of the U.S. state of Nevada which includes the Las Vegas Valley. It also includes the areas in and around Pahrump and Pioche. Tonopah and Hawthorne are sometimes also referred to as part of Southern Nevada, but all organizations based in the Las Vegas area, such as the Southern Nevada Health District, effectively limit the term to the Las Vegas Valley.

Geographically, parts of Southern Nevada are within the Mojave Desert. The population of the region, as measured by the 2020 U.S. Census, is 2,327,680, with 2,265,461 living in the Las Vegas Valley (i.e., Clark County). Over time and influenced by climate change, droughts in Southern Nevada have been increasing in frequency and severity, putting a further strain on Las Vegas's and Southern Nevada’s water security.

Economy
The primary drivers of the Southern Nevada economy have been the confluence of tourism, gaming and conventions which in turn feed the retail and dining industries. The city serves as world headquarters for the world's largest Fortune 500 gaming company, MGM Resorts International.

Tourism also benefits the areas around Pahrump, which has served as a bedroom community of Las Vegas. Prostitution is also legal in areas of Southern Nevada, outside of Clark County.

Topography
The Mojave Desert and Great Basin Desert cover all or most of Southern Nevada. Man made lakes, seasonal, and dry lakes periodically dot the landscape. Examples of these are Lake Mead, Lake Las Vegas and the Ivanpah Dry Lake.

Hopewell is an unincorporated community and former American borough which is located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States.

This Pennsylvania village was incorporated as a borough in May 1853. After declining in the late 1800s, it was reabsorbed into East Nottingham and Lower Oxford townships in 1914.

It lies at an elevation of 344 feet (105 m) and is also the location of the Hopewell Historic District.

History
 The village of Hopewell began when Samuel Dickey III settled in the area and built Hopewell Mill. Samuel & his brothers, David & Ebenezer (father of John Miller Dickey), founded a company called S. E. & D. Dickey around 1816. The business began by selling cotton yarn produced by the mill but later grew to include a grist mill. The company also began to recruit skilled labor, such as carpentry and masonry, which drew talent and settlers to the village.

In 1835, Samuel Dickey died and left his business to his sons. The Hopewell works continued to prosper, and the Dickey family petitioned the county government to grant Hopewell Borough status.

The village of Hopewell was formed from portions of Lower Oxford and East Nottingham Townships, and was officially incorporated as a borough in May 1853.

The Hopewell Academy was founded in 1834 and later expanded to become a private preparatory school in 1841. The academy offered lessons in Mathematics, Latin, Greek, botany, chemistry, and many other subjects.

By 1860, the Hopewell Mill was the fourth most profitable mill in Chester County; however, Hopewell began to decline with the start of the American Civil War in April 1861. The academy closed its doors that year, and the Dickey business, now called S.J. Dickey & Brothers, went bankrupt in 1862. With the failure of the Dickey Company, agriculture became the main driver of the Hopewell economy.

The borough finally received a railroad connection in 1872 with the completion of the Peach Bottom Railway, but Hopewell continued to decline; the local creamery closed in 1879. The grist mill also burned down at this time, further damaging Hopewell's prospects.

During the late 1800s, people began to ally themselves with the neighboring towns of Oxford and Nottingham. By 1897, thirty-five of the forty-five people eligible to vote held some borough office, and Hopewell had become little more than a small cluster of buildings.

Unhappy with high borough taxes and the poor state of the village's roads, residents of Hopewell began petitioning the county government to revoke the borough charter during the mid-1890s. West Chester granted the petition in December 1913.

The borough of Hopewell finally ceased to exist in 1914; its territory was returned to East Nottingham and Lower Oxford Townships.

Present day
Many of the buildings in the former borough, such as the Academy and Hopewell Post Office, are now contributing properties of the Hopewell Historic District. It is now also home to Hanover Farms, Hopewell UMC and Boy Scouts of America Troop 8.

The Zvezda M503 (built at AO Zvezda at St Petersburg) is a maritime 7 bank, 42 cylinder diesel radial engine built in the 1970s by the Soviet Union. Its primary use was in Soviet missile boats that used three of these engines.

This engine may have had other applications, but due to its extreme weight (), it would have been limited to ground or naval applications.

A German tractor pulling team designed a vehicle, named "Dragon Fire", around a methanol-fueled version of this engine; this modified engine is said to weigh  including the gearbox, for use in the 4.5 ton tractor pulling class, making  at 2,500 rpm.

Sampiro (c. 956 – 1041) was a Leonese cleric, politician, and intellectual, one of the earliest chroniclers of post-conquest Spain known by name. He was also the Bishop of Astorga from 1034 or 1035 until his death.

According to some sources he was born at Iglesia del Campo in the Bierzo, near Cacabelos, at times confused with Sorribas because at the time it lay within the latter.  According to other sources he was born at Zamora. Further, it is uncertain whether all contemporary references to persons named Sampiro refer to the same individual or multiple ones.

As a young man Sampiro entered a monastery, either Sahagún or San Miguel de Camarzana. Later he fled to Zamora in light of raids from Muslim territory, and eventually found himself in the royal court at León. He served as a notary to Vermudo II (984–999) and held the highest office at court, that of majordomo, under Alfonso V (999–1028). He was appointed bishop of Astorga round 1034.

Sampiro's chronicle was composed as a continuation of the Chronicle of Alfonso III and as such relates events between the years 866 and 982, when it abruptly stops, though it was evidently written in the early eleventh century. It forms part of the Corpus Pelagianum, a series of histories each continuing the last stretching back to Isidore of Seville's Historia Gothorum. A redaction of the chronicle of Sampiro was incorporated into the Historia Silense.

Sampiro praises his master, King Vermudo, as "quite prudent [because] he confirmed the laws dictated by Wamba, ordered the opening and studying of the collection of canons, loved mercy and justice, and tried to reprove evil and choose the good." The statement about the laws of Wamba (leges a Vambano principe conditas firmavit), otherwise unknown for his legislative action, is probably an error for Egica, who made a major revision of the Lex Visigothorum and who was held by Leonese writers of the time to have been related to Wamba. The later historian Pelayo of Oviedo, who continued Sampiro's chronicle down to his own age, replaced this laudatory section with an attack on the king, bequeathing to historiography the nickname by which Vermudo II is always known: "the Gouty" (el Gotoso).

Henry Clay Earles (August 11, 1913 – November 16, 1999) was the founder and chairman of the board of Martinsville Speedway, a NASCAR stock car racing track that Earles built in 1947 in Ridgeway, Virginia, that was one of the circuit's first paved oval tracks and stands as one of its shortest.

Born in Axton, Virginia, on August 11, 1913, Earles started making money as a five-year-old, selling unwanted leaves from his father's tobacco farm. Initially educated in a one-room schoolhouse, he dropped out of school so that he could help support his family with the 25 cents he earned each hour at a furniture factory.

His first business venture was a failed pool hall, but a gas station was successful and its profits helped pay for a drive-in restaurant in Martinsville, Virginia. The restaurant was sold to buy another gas station. Having seen the crowds attracted by car racing at temporary tracks at fairgrounds, he built a track on  of land he had purchased in 1946. The first scheduled race, predating the establishment of NASCAR, took place on September 7, 1947, drawing more than 6,000 spectators at a facility that only had 750 seats; Seating capacity had grown to 86,000 by the time of Earles's death. In its inaugural year, Bill France, Sr. provided the track with advertising and drivers in exchange for one-fourth of profits, and became the founding president of NASCAR when it was incorporated the next year. Martinsville Speedway is the only one of NASCAR's original tracks still in use.

Red Byron was awarded a $500 prize for winning the inaugural race at the track, which had grown to $170,000 by 1999. Earles began a tradition in 1964 of distributing grandfather clocks to race winners, with Richard Petty receiving a track-record of 12, and would have received three more for wins that predated the inception of the practice.

The track measures  around, with a pair of  straightaways and tight turns banked at 12 degrees, described as two dragstrips with tight turns. The track was first paved in 1955. Unlike the superspeedways, Martinsville became a track where the skill and strategy of each individual driver could overcome the big money and horsepower of the larger teams.

Earles died at age 86 on November 16, 1999, at his Martinsville home.

C. Jennings of New York City, for World War I service as a patrol boat.  She was commissioned as USS Whippet (SP-89) on 24 July 1917.

Whippet conducted antisubmarine and coastal defense patrols in the 2nd Naval District in southern New England during World War I.

On 11 January 1919, Whippet was decommissioned. She was stricken from the Navy List and returned to her owner the same day.

Hector Maclean, 4th Laird of Coll (flourished 1560) was the son of John Abrach Maclean, 2nd Laird of Coll, and had a brother, John Maclean, 3rd Laird of Coll.

Biography
Hector made greater progress in letters than any other man in the country in which he lived during that period. He understood Latin well, and devoted much of his time to the writing of poetry, in both Latin and Gaelic, fragments of which are still preserved. These compositions testify that he was devout. On account of his literary character he was called Cleireach beag, or little clerk. That he was well adapted for an emergency is illustrated in the art he exhibited in appeasing the wrath of Ailean nan Sop. The official records show a "gift to Hector McClane, brother and heir of the deceased John McClane of Coll of the non-entry of Coll, 24 April 1558." June 28, 1559, is recorded a precept for charter to Hector, son and heir apparent of Hector MacLean of Coll, of the lands of Coll, on resignation by the father. In 1561 a feud broke out between the families of Duart and Coll on account of the former insisting on the latter following him in all his private quarrels, like the other gentlemen of the clan. Coll declined on account that he held his lands direct from the crown. The Coll family was brought to the very brink of ruin.

He was succeeded by his eldest son, Hector Roy Maclean, 5th Laird of Coll.

Children
Hector was first married to Meve, daughter of Alexander MacDonald, 5th of Dunnyveg, by whom he had:
Hector Roy Maclean, 5th Laird of Coll
Margaret Maclean, married to John Dubh Maclean, predecessor of the Macleans of Kinlochaline
Jannet Maclean, married to John Garbh Maclean, son of John Dubh Maclean
Hector was married a second time, to Finovola, daughter of Godfrey MacAllister of Loup, by whom he had two sons:
Allan Maclean, founder of the family of Achanasaul on Mull. (His son Iain Dhuibh moved to Uig, Isle of Lewis in 1696. He had 5 sons and they all settled on Lewis. Iain Dhuibh's direct descendants still live in the same bay at Uig Sands.
John, founder of the house of Grishipoll.

Music video
The music video for "Homecoming" was directed by Noah Shulman and premiered on the group's Vevo channel October 2, 2009.

The detailed maps for these routes are available online. As of 2021, all buses services can be tracked live on Google Maps.

Routes that start with an X (such as X5) are express lines. Routes that start with an A (such as A1) terminate at the Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Competitors
There exist cheap, private, although illegal alternatives in the form of private taxis and minibuses.

The only other buses are those running between Emirates.  These buses are owned by the governments of the individual Emirates.

Fares and payment
The current fare system in Abu Dhabi uses a contactless card for the fare collection system called Hafilat Card that launched on May 15, 2015. All buses use the Hafilat Card and charge a flat fare of AED 2 within Abu Dhabi City limits while trips to suburbs cost an additional 5 fils per kilometre (Example: Mussafah to Abu Dhabi city cost AED 4). Hafilat Cards are available for daily, weekly, and monthly users, with special fares levied for senior citizens and students.

Bus stops

Boarding and alighting are only permitted at designated bus stops, which are located throughout the island. The bus stops are located relatively close to each other. Most bus stops are equipped with air conditioned spaces.

Local culture

As with most buses in the UAE, the front rows of seats (2 rows of 4 facing sideways) are priority seating for ladies.  Males occupying those seats are required to give up their seats in the event of a lady standing.

Summer Nights is an album by jazz guitarist Joe Pass, released in 1990.

Reception

AllMusic's Scott Yanow wrote: "Although Joe Pass' main influence was Charlie Christian and he really does not sound like Reinhardt, he manages to evoke the spirit of Django while swinging in his own fashion. It is particularly nice hearing such tunes as "Belleville," the haunting "Tears" and "For Django" in newer versions."

Personnel
 Joe Pass – acoustic guitar and electric guitar
 John Pisano – acoustic guitar

 Colin Bailey – drums

This is a list of current and former company towns in Canada. True company towns are those "closed communities owned and administered by the industrial employer". Other rural communities which did not function strictly in this way but were still dominated by a single industry may also be called company towns and are featured in this list.

Their formation were common in the early and mid 20th century, with the mining and pulp and paper industries making up the bulk of the towns. Many of these towns were planned communities, with their developers choosing for them unique design plans, such as the Garden city movement in the case of Kapuskasing, Ontario and Kitimat, British Columbia.

Few company towns remain in Canada, as most have been abandoned or since incorporated into a municipality. The only remaining example of a company town today may be Churchill Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador, an unincorporated community home to Nalcor Energy’s Churchill Falls Generating Station.

Blu Blu Blu is an album by Muhal Richard Abrams released on the Italian Black Saint label in 1991 and features performances of eight of Abrams compositions by a big band. Abrams dedicated the title track on the album to Muddy Waters.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow calls the album "One of pianist/composer Muhal Richard Abrams' strongest big-band dates... The music occasionally glances back at the past but mostly looks forward in its own unique way. Recommended". The music writer Tom Moon includes Blu Blu Blu in his book 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die, commenting that the album succeeds in creating "unpredictable music distinguished by a bustling big-city exuberance." The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars calling it "Abram's best album for some time... this is among one of the most important contemporary big band records".

John Garbh Maclean, was the 1st Laird of Coll as an independent unit.

Biography

John was the second son of Lachlan Bronneach Maclean and Fionnaghal, daughter of Sìol Tormoid leader. Fionnaghal was Lachlan's second wife, making John Garbh the third lawful son of Lachlan, and the fourth (and youngest) natural son. Lachlan was the leader of the MacLeans, and his eldest lawful son, Donald MacLean, was his heir.

When John grew into an adult, he gained the sobriquet Garbh, meaning rough, in reference to his gigantic stature and great strength. He was also called John Teomachd, from his cunning and craft.

John's father, Lachlan, was also the grandson of Mary MacDonald, daughter of John of Islay; John's grandfather was thus the cousin of Alexander, the current Lord of the Isles, whose vassals the Macleans were.

Donald MacLean took an armed band to Ardtornish, Alexander's main castle, and demanded a share of the estates Alexander had inherited from John of Islay, on the basis of common descent. After satisfying Alexander's demand that Donald expel the MacMasters (with whom Alexander had fallen out) from Ardgour, Alexander awarded him a charter for Ardgour, and other adjacent lands, which were subsequently confirmed by King James I. Having noticed this, John Garbh decided to try his luck by challenging Alexander in the same way as Donald had; Alexander gave him a charter for:
Coll (comprising 20 poundlands)
Quinish (comprising 18 merklands), in Mull
Loch Eil (comprising 20 poundlands), in Lochaber
Drimnin and Achalennon (together comprising 6 merklands), in Morvern

King James II confirmed Alexander's grant to John. Afterwards, John claimed purchased the island of Rùm (with the associated islands of Canna and Muck) from Allan MacDonald, leader of Clan Ranald; the price was a galley. However, Clan Ranald refused to acknowledge the sale; John Garbh consequently seized Allan MacDonald, and held him prisoner on Coll. After 9 months, Allan was released, presumably having agreed to acknowledge a sale; following this, records describe Rùm (with Canna and Muck) as pertaining to John Garbh's descendants, rather than to Clan Ranald.

John Garbh lived feared by his enemies and respected by his friends. He married Isabella, daughter of Fraser of Lovat, predecessor of Lord Lovat. He was succeeded in his estates by his only son, John Abrach MacLean, 2nd Laird of Coll.

Bliss (Turkish: Mutluluk) is a 2007 Turkish film directed by Abdullah Oğuz, and starring Özgü Namal, Talat Bulut, and Murat Han. It was chosen to open the 2007 Asian Film Festival in Mumbai and the 2007 Medfilm Festival in Rome. It won the audience prize and the young jury prize at the 2008 Turkish Film Festival in Nuremberg and won the audience award for international films at the 2008 Miami International Film Festival.
Also, Mutluluk was rewarded by European Council with the Prix Odyssee Human Rights Award in 2007.

Plot
Meryem (Özgü Namal), a young woman of about 17 years old, is believed to have been violated, and her village's customs call for her to be killed to restore honor and dignity to her family and village. A young, newly returned war veteran and son of the village leader and factory owner, Cemal (Murat Han), is ordered to take Meryem to Istanbul and kill her, but at the last minute he doesn't allow himself to complete the task and the two, now unable to ever return to their village, run away together. Eventually, they meet up with ex-Professor Irfan, a man who has decided to live on a boat away from his wife and constricted life.

It is turned out that Meryem's uncle was the one that violated her. This caused Simel to be disgusted by the truth. He tried to kill his father but he was unable to. Meryem's father was shocked and enraged that his own brother violated his daughter and wanted his death to avenge the crime, killing his brother with a gun.

The film deals with morality as narrowly defined by tradition, in a series of situations in which the characters have to follow untraditional paths against their will. The harshness of existential pain is contrasted with beautiful landscapes by the Director of Photography, Mirsad Herovic.

This movie is adapted from the international best selling novel by Zülfü Livaneli.

Theropithecus brumpti was a large terrestrial monkey that lived in the mid to late Pliocene. It is an extinct species of papionin.

This fossil primate is mostly known from skulls and mandibles found in Pliocene deposits excavated in the Shungura Formation, at the Omo River, Ethiopia. Both T. brumpti and its cousin, the extant gelada (T. gelada), were related to the baboon.

Description

Similar to most other such animals, T. brumpti was quadrupedal with highly dexterous, manipulative hands. Males grew very large, as evidenced by a specimen found at Lomekwi, Kenya, which was estimated to have weighed approximately 43.8 kilograms. (In comparison, the male gelada averages around 20 kilograms ). In addition, the male was most likely very colorful, with the female smaller and less colorful; the species displayed a high degree of sexual dimorphism. Like most papionins, the male possessed large canine teeth, primarily for display.

Diet
Theropithecus brumpti was most likely a folivore. Large muscles in the long muzzle suggest T. brumpti ate tough vegetation, and was capable of breaking and eating large nuts.

Habitat
This species was largely terrestrial, with the size of adult males making any significant arboreal lifestyle unlikely. From the locations of T. brumpti finds, the species lived in riverine forest habitats.

The Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal (until 2016: Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal) () is an association of businesses and businesspeople in Greater Montreal. In its own words it serves to "act as the voice of Montréal's business community and to promote the prosperity of the city and its businesses".

History
For almost two centuries, the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal has played a key role in the economic, social, and cultural growth of Montreal.

It was in 1822 that a group of about fifty merchants founded the committee of trade (Board of Trade) to promote the development of Montreal. In 1857, the organization set the wheels in motion to begin dredging the St. Lawrence River and build port facilities in Montreal able to handle ships with a large tonnage. In 1863 the Board of Trade founded the Port Warden's Office and the Corn Exchange.

In 1887, 135 merchants founded a French-speaking trade association, the Chambre de commerce du district de Montréal, which began to push for improved railroad connections in the metropolitan area. Five years later, in 1892, the Chambre proposed the creation of the École des Hautes Études Commerciales, an internationally renowned institution that now welcomes 9,000 students from 60 countries. In 1940, the Chambre was also instrumental in promoting the complete restructuring of Montreal's municipal government.

In summer 1984, the Chambre de commerce du district de Montréal changed its name to the Chambre de commerce de Montréal.  Five years later, it changed names again, becoming the Chambre de commerce du Montréal métropolitain.  In 1992, that organization merged with the Montreal Board of Trade to become a single bilingual business association (the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal), the largest of its kind, who unites economic, social, and cultural stakeholders in Greater Montreal.

In 2002, following the creation of the new city of Montreal and the Montreal Metropolitan Community, the Board of Trade reaffirmed its resolutely metropolitan vision of development. At the same time, it updated its operating procedures to reflect these new realities and better respond to the new challenges they bring with them.

In 2003, it continued this restructuring by consolidating its affiliates – including Info enterprises and the World Trade Centre Montreal – which became branches of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal. These new branches aimed to enable the Board of Trade to offer specialized services to Quebec's greater business community in the areas of providing information about funding and company start-up programs and exports.

In 2016, the Board of Trade changed its name to the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal.

Hyperthymic temperament, or hyperthymia, from Ancient Greek ὑπέρ ("over", meaning here excessive) + θυμός ("spirited"), is a proposed personality type characterized by an exceptionally, or in some cases, abnormally positive or irritated mood and disposition. It is generally defined by increased energy, vividness and enthusiasm for life activities, as opposed to dysthymia. Hyperthymia is similar to but more stable than hypomania.

Characteristics of the hyperthymic temperament include:
 increased energy and productivity
 short sleep patterns
 vividness, activity extroversion
 self-assurance, self-confidence
 strong will
 extreme talkativeness
 tendency to repeat oneself
 risk-taking/sensation seeking
 breaking social norms
 very strong libido
 love of attention
 low threshold for boredom
 generosity and tendency to overspend
 emotion sensitivity
 cheerfulness and joviality
 unusual warmth
 expansiveness
 tirelessness
 irrepressibility, irresistible, and infectious quality

The clinical, psychiatric understanding of hyperthymia is evolving. Studies have suggested that hyperthymic temperament may be associated with efficient performance of complex tasks under time pressure or extreme conditions.  Despite this positive characterization, hyperthymia can be complicated with depressive episodes manifesting as a softer form of bipolar illness, such as cyclothymia. Research also suggests a familial genetic connection of the temperament to bipolar I.

Aside from references in historical and more recent writings on the spectrum of mood disorders, further literature on the temperament is lacking. There is a lack of agreement on its definition, implications or whether it is pathological. It is not known where to place hyperthymia on the affective spectrum.

Hyperthymia manifesting intermittently or in an unusual way may mask hypomania or another psychiatric disorder.
