Products

OKL4 Microvisor
The OKL4 Microvisor is an open-source software system software platform for embedded systems that can be used as a hypervisor, and as a simple real-time operating system with memory protection. It is a variant of the L4 microkernel. OKL4 is a Type I hypervisor and runs on single- and multi-core processors based on ARM, MIPS, and x86 processors.

OKL4 has been deployed on over 2 billion mobile phones, both as a baseband processor operating system and for hosting guest operating systems. Most notable and visible is the company's design win at Motorola for the Evoke QA4 messaging phone, the first phone which employs virtualization to support two concurrent operating systems (Linux and Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW)) on one processor core.

Paravirtualized guest OSes
OK Labs also supplies ready-to-integrate paravirtualized guest application operating systems, including OK:Symbian (SymbianOS), OK:Linux (Linux), OK:Windows (Windows) and OK:Android (Android).

Hardware virtualization
The OKL4 Microvisor supports ARM hardware virtualization extensions, as introduced in the Cortex-A15 processor. The use of hardware virtualization greatly reduces the changes required to a guest OS.

Background
OK Labs and OKL4 are the result of collaboration among academia, business, and open-source development. OK Labs technology is derived from the L4 microkernel which originated in the early 1990s at German research Lab GMD, further developed at IBM Watson Research Center, the University of Karlsruhe in Germany, the University of New South Wales and NICTA in Australia. As commercial ventures, OK Labs and OKL4 were launched by NICTA in 2006, with further investment by Citrix and other venture partners. OK Labs technology continues to benefit from ties to academia and research projects, to NICTA, and to the global open-source community.

Acquisition
The company was acquired by General Dynamics in September 2012 and has since closed its Sydney office. In February 2014, Cog Systems was founded by former Open Kernel Labs staff and continued OKL4 development in Sydney. In April 2019, Cog Systems went into liquidation and closed.

Federal Trade Commission v. Colgate-Palmolive Company, 380 U.S. 374 (1965), was a United States Supreme Court case.

Background
A Colgate-Palmolive advertisement claimed that its Palmolive Rapid Shave shaving cream was so good it could be used to shave sandpaper. The commercial showed sandpaper applied with shaving cream and then shaved.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) complained that the ad was deceptive and a material misrepresentation because it was not sandpaper but rather sand sprinkled on glass. Colgate-Palmolive argued that the product really could shave sandpaper if left on long enough. Colgate-Palmolive sued arguing that the FTC had overstepped its authority.

Opinion of the Court
The Supreme Court agreed with the FTC that the commercial was a material misrepresentation. The ruling forced advertisers to remain truthful in their product presentations. As a result, commercials often feature "dramatization" notifications.

Saint Luke Institute (SLI) is an international, U.S.-based private, licensed mental health education and treatment facility that is based in Silver Spring, Maryland. SLI primarily serves Roman Catholic priests, permanent deacons, and consecrated men and women religious with depression, addictions, anxiety, trauma and stress-related disorders, personality disorders, interpersonal and boundary issues, and other mental health issues that may require clinical attention.

SLI provides psychological evaluations, intensive outpatient therapy, continuing care, and consultation with religious leaders. Education is offered online and in-person through SLIconnect.org. Saint Luke Center in Louisville, Kentucky, offers education, candidate assessments, and individual and group therapy.

History
SLI was founded in 1981 by Father Michael Peterson, a priest with training as a psychiatrist from the University of California, San Francisco . SLI originally focused on treating priests with drug or alcohol addiction. In 1983, it began expanding programs, including addressing child sexual abuse to reduce recidivism, in part following the emergence of the case of Gilbert Gauthe, a Louisiana priest convicted of child sexual abuse.

From 1987 to 1992, SLI was led by Robert E. Bacher, who had served as executive secretary of United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Priestly Formation.

In 1992, Father Canice Connors was appointed as the third president of SLI. A psychologist, Connors was the former president of Southdown, a Catholic psychiatric hospital near Toronto. Connors described himself as a victim of child abuse by an older man. Connors’ tenure in the early 1990s coincided with the awareness of the child sexual abuse scandal in the United States, which has declined since 2002.

In the early 1990s, the treatment program at SLI included in-patient treatment of up to 32 inpatients and about 12 patients residing at neighborhood houses owned by SLI. Treatments included injections of Depro-Provera and individual and group therapy aimed at helping priests regain their celibacy; the latter differed from secular treatment, in which the effort was to get the men to transfer their sexual attraction to adults.  SLI also advised bishops across the country about whether priests could be returned to ministry (albeit forbidden from working with children); as of 1994 SLI had treated 137 priests, of which 60 had returned to ministry and 77 became inactive. Of the inactive priests, 20 were convicted of crimes and sent to prison and others laicized.

From 1996 to 2009 (and from 2013 to 2014), Msgr. Stephen J. Rossetti, a psychologist, served as SLI president. Rossetti first began working at  SLI in 1993, and became executive vice president and chief operating officer. In 2008, SLI set up the Saint Luke Institute Foundation, Inc. and transferred about $3.5 million into it; the purpose of the foundation was to provide financial support to SLI.

Rossetti stepped down as SLI's president in October 2009 to join the faculty of The Catholic University of America. He was succeeded by then-monsignor Edward J. Arsenault of the Diocese of Manchester in New Hampshire. He had served as the public face of the diocese during Catholic sexual abuse scandal. In 2013, Arsenault was accused of stealing money from the Diocese of Manchester and the estate of a deceased priest, unrelated to SLI. He was also accused of billing a hospital for consulting work he never performed, using the funds for gifts for himself and a male partner. Arsenault pled guilty to felony theft and in 2014; he was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution.

In the wake of Arsenault's resignation from SLI, Rossetti returned as president of SLI. Sheila Harron, Ph.D., was CEO. Rev. David Songy, OFM Cap, a psychologist from Denver, became president on January 1, 2015. In June 2013, SLI purchased the St. Louis Consultation Center, which provided intensive outpatient psychological and spiritual treatment, education and candidate assessments. In 2021, SLI transitioned away from residential care and moved the intensive outpatient program to Maryland. In 2023, Rev. James Garvey, O.Praem, became president.

Today
Today, Saint Luke Institute is accredited by The Joint Commission and is licensed by the State of Maryland Department of Health.

Walden Stubbs is a small, rural village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. At the 2011 Census, the population was less than 100, so the details are included in the civil parish of Womersley. Situated close to the border with South Yorkshire, and north of Doncaster, it is  south east of Pontefract, and lies close to the River Went, which rises at Featherstone.

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book, where it is described as consisting of seven households and two ploughlands. The name of the village derives from either Old German, Waldin or the Old English son of Walda. The second part, Stubbs is the Old English term for tree stumps.

The village was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.

The Askern Branch Line runs through this village, which has two level crossings. This rail line now carries freight and passenger trains from  to . There is also the occasional diverted passenger train from the East Coast Main Line.

Jan Leif Tinndahn (born 27 January 1961), also known as "Big Jim" and "Solkongen" ("Sun King"), is a Danish outlaw biker and gangster who served as the president of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club in Europe between 1994 and 2012.

Early life
The son of factory worker parents, Tinndahn was born in North Zealand and described his childhood as "an ordinary working class upbringing". He struggled in school as a result of dyslexia, and was reportedly quiet and introverted. Tinndahn instead took an interest in mopeds, and he later trained as a mechanic, an occupation from which he was granted early retirement due to spinal arthritis. Despite disapproval from his parents, Tinndahn, along with his brother, became involved with outlaw motorcycle clubs at the age of seventeen, joining and later serving as president of the 666 club. He married and fathered three sons.

Bandidos
Tinndahn became a member of the Zealand-based Morticians Motorcycle Club, which was initially a support club of the Hells Angels before disputes between the clubs led to the Morticians breaking away from the Angels in late 1988. When the Hells Angels began a strategy of suppressing smaller clubs in the early 1990s, the Morticians aligned with other bikers opposed to or rejected by the Angels, merging to form the Undertakers MC. The Undertakers, of which Tinndahn was president, established two chapters – "Northland", based in Stenløse, and "East Coast", in Hørsholm. Seeking protection from the Hells Angels by joining a larger international club, Tinndahn and the Undertakers contacted Bandidos leaders in the United States and France in 1992. After serving as prospective members for a time, the Undertakers "patched over" to join the Bandidos on 17 December 1993. The Hells Angels permitted the Bandidos' expansion into Scandinavia on the condition that they confine themselves to their two original chapters in Denmark. As leader of the Bandidos, Tinndahn had no intention of adhering to the Hells Angels' protocol, and his club made the Morbids MC across the Øresund Strait in Helsingborg a probationary chapter in January 1994. The Bandidos' amalgamation of the Morbids infuriated the Malmö Hells Angels chapter, who declared war on the Helsingborg club.

The events in Scania led to the outbreak of the Nordic Biker War. As violence escalated, leaders of the Bandidos and the Hells Angels in the U.S. attempted to bring an end to the conflict diplomatically. The Bandidos' "mother chapter" in Houston was unable to control its probate chapter in Helsingborg, however, as Tinndahn continued to support the Morbids' retaliation against the Angels. He was appointed as the Bandidos' European president, and transferred from the Stenløse-based Northland chapter to the Helsingborg chapter in June 1995. Tinndahn received the sobriquet "Solkongen" ("Sun King") from his fellow Bandidos members in reference to King Louis XIV of France, who ruled under a system of absolute monarchy. He selected Claus Bork Hansen as his personal bodyguard. The conflict steadily worsened after the Northland chapter became the Bandidos' European headquarters in August 1995. By the summer of 1997, hostilities between the Bandidos and the Hells Angels had effectively came to an end as the conflict was producing no clear victor, and the bikers' businesses were being negatively effected. Tinndahn was among the initiators of the mediation process that led to the end of the war. On 25 September 1997, he and Hells Angels president Bent "Blondie" Svane Nielsen held a live televised press conference and announced an end to the biker war. Although not disclosed to the public, Tinndahn and Nielsen had signed a peace treaty designating each club's territory, right down to individual bars, cafés and nightclubs. During and after the biker war, the eloquent Tinndahn became a figure in the Danish media, participating in television interviews and debates with civic groups campaigning for the removal of motorcycle clubs from the local community. In June 2010, he announced that the peace treaty between the Bandidos and the Hells Angels had collapsed, partly because the Angels had breached terms of the agreement by admitting six Bandidos members.

Tinndahn was arrested and charged with aggravated theft after police raided the Helsingborg Bandidos chapter clubhouse, where he resided, on 29 October 2008. The raid involved between fifteen and twenty police officers and the use of a Plasan SandCat armoured car. Tinndahn was suspected in the theft of three racing motorcycles, worth a combined SEK600,000, which were stolen from a racing track garage in Falkenberg on 19 September. He was implicated in the investigation as a result of a police wiretap. According to prosecutors, Tinndahn played a leading role in the handling of the motorcycles by having them transported to Helsingborg. He denied the allegations, claiming that he was attempting to have the motorcycles returned to their owner. On 2 December 2008, Tinndahn was acquitted of the charges.

As leader of the Bandidos in Europe and Asia, Tinndahn ruled over a faction of 1,600 bikers and was among the three most powerful members of the club, along with the presidents in the U.S. and Australia. In 2011, the international Bandidos organization splintered, with the club's Western Hemisphere chapters breaking away from the Eastern Hemisphere branches. During his eighteen-year tenure as president, Tinndahn oversaw the opening of 130 club chapters. He stepped down from the role in June 2012, and was succeeded by his former vice-president, Michael "Kokken" Rosenvold.

At approximately 2:00 am on 7 October 2012, Tinndahn crashed his Audi Q7 near Malmö's Emporia shopping mall while returning to Helsingborg from a Bandidos party in the Malmö suburb of Bunkeflostrand. While Tinndahn escaped with minor injuries, his passenger, fellow Bandidos member Carlos Åkesson, suffered brain damage and remained in a coma until his death on 18 December 2014 as a result of cardiac arrest. Tinndahn was questioned by police after the incident, although he was not initially charged with a crime despite a blood test showing traces of benzoylecgonine and tetrahydrocannabinol in his system. Following Åkesson's death, Tinndahn initially did not comply with a police summons for further questioning, and it was suspected that he may have fled the country as he had reportedly been missing since June 2014. He ultimately contacted police in February 2015, at which time he was formally indicted. On 28 December 2015, Tinndahn was convicted of aggravated drunk driving, gross negligence in traffic and grievous bodily harm at Malmö District Court and sentenced to nine months in prison. This was his first custodial sentence despite previous convictions for possession of stolen goods, illegal gun possession and traffic violations. In July 2016, the Scania and Blekinge Court of Appeal dismissed the charges of aggravated drunk driving and gross reckless driving, and reduced Tinndahn's sentence to probation and a fine of SEK5,000.

Tinndahn has kept a significantly lower profile since resigning as Bandidos president and he reportedly moved back to Denmark after residing in Helsingborg for several years. In August 2020, he made a rare public appearance at a Bandidos "show of force" event in Næstved at a time when the club was involved in a conflict with Satudarah on Zealand.

The Royal–Thomian Rivalry refers to the competition, both in academics and sports, between Royal College Colombo and S. Thomas' College, Mt Lavinia. Both schools have rich histories of academic excellence, as well as sport competition and school pride. Both were founded in the 19th century, and between them they have produced a large number of Sri Lanka's most prominent scientists, writers and politicians, as well as noted figures in many other fields.

Pascal Rigo is a French Restaurateur who owns a small "empire" of boulangeries, restaurants, and wholesale and retail bakeries in San Francisco and Mill Valley, California, that operate as La Boulangerie de San Francisco, Bay Bread, La Boulange, and (formerly) Cortez, Chez Nous, Gallette, and others.

Early life
Pascal Rigo was born in N'Djamena, formally known as Fort-Lamy. After running a daily errand to buy two baguettes for his family, Rigo apprenticed at his village's bakery at age 7. He earned a business degree from the University of Bordeaux, was certified as a professional baker. He first moved to California in order to begin importing local wine from France. He stayed in the U.S. to open a bakery in Los Angeles then later, to San Francisco.

Bakery
In 1996 Rigo founded Panissimo Group, which ran the bakery on Pine Street that became Bay Bread.  He chose to live, and have an office, at the central location in a former French laundry on the busy thoroughfare Rigo bought, and continues to operate, San Francisco's oldest flour mill, which Bay Bread uses to produce organic flour for its loaves.  Rigo originally intended to operate his business as a wholesale bakery, but soon began selling loaves and then croissants directly to the public. A positive review in the San Francisco Examiner initially popularized the bakery.  Rigo renamed it the "Boulangerie", after painting the word on the colorful awning over the sidewalk, then opened similarly themed dine-in bakeries throughout the city.  One, in Cole Valley, is the site of the former Tassajara Bakery, where San Francisco's modern artisan bread movement began.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Rigo and his business partners invested in, and founded, a number of restaurants including Soleil, Rigolo, Gallette, La Table, Le Petit Robert, Chez Nous, Americano, and Plantanos. One, Cortez, earned a Michelin Star. In 2001 Rigo and partners bought Oh-La-La, one of San Francisco's oldest coffee house chains. The group later divested of most of its restaurants to concentrate on its bakeries.  In 2009 it bought a share of Miette, a small chain of candy stores and cupcake bakers.

In addition to its retail operations, the company supplies bread to grocery stores, restaurants and hotels in the area.  Some rival food entrepreneurs in San Francisco's small French entrepreneur community have criticized Rigo for his fast expansion efforts.  The New York Times called Rigo "the only real entrepreneur" among the community.  Rigo has intentionally avoided publicity so as not to encourage a backlash from critics.

In 2003 Rigo co-wrote a cookbook, The American Boulangerie: Authentic French Pastries and Breads for the Home Kitchen.

On June 4, 2012, Rigo sold La Boulange Bakery to Starbucks for $100 million. In June 2015, Starbucks announced it would close all of its La Boulange cafes by the end of September 2015.

Rigo later announced plans to re-open six of the La Boulange locations, under the name "La Boulangerie de San Francisco."

Thomas Williams (1658–1726) was a Welsh Anglican priest and translator.

Life
Williams was born in Eglwysbach in the county of Denbighshire, north Wales in 1658.  He studied at the University of Oxford, matriculating as a member of Jesus College in 1674 before obtaining his BA in 1677 and his MA in 1680.  After his ordination as a priest in the Church of England, he appears to have succeeded his father, William Williams, as rector of a church near Abergele, north Wales.  A "Thomas Williams", possibly this one, served as rector of Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog from 1687 to 1702.  From 1690 to 1697, Williams was vicar of Llanrwst, and he was then appointed rector of Denbigh, a position that he held until he died in 1726.

Aside from his parish duties, Williams worked to translate various religious works from English into Welsh, including a book on the catechism by the Bishop of St Asaph, William Beveridge ( (1708)).

In linear algebra, a branch of mathematics, a k-frame is an ordered set of k linearly independent vectors in a vector space; thus k ≤ n, where n is the dimension of the space, and if k = n an n-frame is precisely an ordered basis.

If the vectors are orthogonal, or orthonormal, the frame is called an orthogonal frame, or orthonormal frame, respectively.

Properties
 The set of k-frames (particularly the set of orthonormal k-frames) in a given space X is known as the Stiefel manifold, and denoted Vk(X).
 A k-frame defines a parallelotope (a generalized parallelepiped); the volume can be computed via the Gram determinant.

In places like the United Kingdom, a hip flask defence is a defence to an allegation of drink driving that a driver had consumed alcohol between the time of a vehicular offence, such as an accident, and a breathalyser test, so that a positive result does not actually indicate that they were driving while intoxicated.

Though popular (in 1991, the defence was used in 90% of Swedish appeals against drink driving convictions), the hip flask defence is not always effective. It is possible to back calculate the amount of alcohol and prove an offence nevertheless.

Well aware of what puberty entails, she is being serially initiated in an abandoned car by a gang of unemployed youths when she cries out that the first time should have some affection and romance. In which case, they say, you need Petit Paul. Treating her tenderly, he becomes her first love but his career as a burglar is cut short when he is shot by an enraged householder.

Anne Murray Powell (26 April 1755 – 10 March 1849) was an author in Upper Canada, mother of nine children, and the wife of Chief Justice William Dummer Powell.

Early life
Born Anne Murray in Wells, Norfolk, England, to Dr. John Murray and Mary Boyles, the daughter of a customs collector. Her father was born in Scotland and became a surgeon in the Royal Navy. In 1751, he graduated from the University of Edinburgh and retired on half-pay from the Navy in order to establish himself with a private medical practice at Wells and then Norwich. He was remembered as one "who distinguished himself by encouraging every charitable pursuit". He was involved in the formation of the Scots Society in 1775. Anne Murray was born April 26, 1755. In 1769 Anne Murray's aunt Elizabeth Murray, who was a successful widowed shopkeeper in Boston Massachusetts, offered to care for Dr. Murray's three oldest children John (II), Mary, and Anne. Anne's brother and sister were sent in 1769 while Anne did not voyage to Boston until Elizabeth's departure in 1771. In 1774 Anne's sister Mary left for England leaving Anne in charge of her aunt Elizabeth's shop, Anne would later refer to this as "the worst time of my life". Anne found relief from this "mundane" life when she met William Dummer Powell in 1775.

Adult life and career

Anne Murray married William Dummer Powell on 3 Oct. 1775 in Boston, Massachusetts. They had nine children of whom two survived her. She died at Toronto. After marrying William Dummer Powell on 3 Oct. 1775 in Boston Massachusetts, they shortly left for England due to William's political views as a member of the loyalist party. At the time of the marriage Anne was twenty and William was twenty-one. Arriving in England shortly after being wed Anne would give birth to three children while William studied law. In 1780 the family would leave England for Montreal, where William had started a law practice. Anne and William moved to York in 1798 as a way for "members of the elite to have a role in Upper Canadian government". Anne took on a serious role in the Upper Canadian political sphere with her role as the wife of a prominent official, which would be crucial for William's future climb to chief justiceship.

Mrs. Powell was considered to be the "social arbiter" of Toronto in the years preceding her husband's death on September 6, 1834. During her time as the social arbiter she is best known for challenging then Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada Francis Gore. Anne publicly challenged Gore on his treatment of Mrs. John Small who was accused of adultery.

Anne Murray Powell, along with her husband Chief Justice William Dummer Powell, have one of the largest surviving record of personal letters from the period of 1771-1840. "Throughout her long life, Mrs Powell was an inveterate writer of letters. More than 700 of them have survived "(describing) the excitement of enemy invasion in 1813 and armed rebellion in 1837, and the 'system of wrong and Robbery' embodied in the 1839 Clergy Reserves bill".

The more than 700 letters that have survived to this day range from letters to friends near Boston to family in England. These letters give us insight to community, social spheres in Canada, politics, and even American-Canadian relations in the later 1700s and early 1800s. Anne Murray Powell would later die in Toronto on 10 March 1849, just before her ninety-fourth birthday.

The Virginia City Historic District is a National Historic Landmark District encompassing  Virginia City, Montana, United States.  Designated in 1966, the district includes over two hundred nineteenth-century buildings, representing the site of a major gold strike and the capital of Montana for ten years.

Virginia City was founded in the early 1860s, in the wake of a major gold find in Alder Gulch, which ascends into the mountains to the south. It grew rapidly with the influx of gold seekers, and was by 1865 so large and prosperous that it was made the capital of the Montana Territory. Alder Gulch was lined with mining communities of all sizes, with an estimated total population of 10,000 in 1865. Of these, Virginia City was the largest, and is the only major community to survive later declines in the mining economy. By the 1930s large mining operations had either demolished or buried most of the other communities. In the 1940s Charles and Sue Bovey began to buy up abandoned buildings and restoring them, in effect creating an open-air museum.[3]

The landmark district encompasses an area of about 20,000 acres (81 km2), including the entire city limits of Virginia City and a significant portion of Alder Gulch where mining operations took place. Many of the city's buildings were built before the turn of the 20th century, and a significant number date to its heyday in the 1860s. Many of the commercial buildings are of wood-frame construction, and have traditional false front facades. The single most prominent building is the Madison County Courthouse, built in 1875. A few of the surviving 19th-century buildings have log construction, and harken back to the city's earliest days.[3]

Llanidloes Town Football Club () are an association football club based in the town of Llanidloes, Wales. They currently play in the Cymru North.

History
The first ever recorded game of football in mid Wales was in Llanidloes at the 'Lower Green' on Victoria Avenue on 26 December 1870. The club was founded 5 years later in 1875, the same year as Newtown. The club are recorded as playing a fixture against Newtown on Christmas Day 1875 on a field called Caegwyn. 'Records of Llanidloes' early days are quite patchy, but it is known that the club reached the semi-final of the Welsh Cup in 1881, losing to Newtown.

At the start of the 1906–07 season, Llanidloes embarked on league football and joined the Montgomeryshire and District League. Success quickly followed and the club took the league championship six times during the eight years the competition was in being prior to 1920. The 1920s and 1930s were the most successful decades in the club's history. The Mid Wales League title was won on seven occasions and the club reached five Welsh Amateur Cup finals, winning the trophy in 1922. In addition, Llanidloes won the Montgomeryshire Challenge Cup thirteen times, including eight successive wins between 1928 and 1935.

Following the war, Llanidloes won the Mid Wales League in 1946–47 and, in 1950–51, became the first champions of the Welsh National League (Mid Wales) completing a ‘double’ by lifting the League Cup. The 1950s and 1960s saw “The Daffs” win the League Cup again (in 1954, 1959 and 1962), whilst the highlight of those post-war years was the winning of the Welsh Amateur Cup in 1965. Further league championships followed in 1972 and 1974 before, in 1980–81, the club emulated the feat of thirty years earlier when completing another league and cup ‘double’. Llanidloes Town's most recent major success was winning the Central Wales FA Cup in 1984. In 1990, the club became founder members of the Cymru Alliance and, despite two disappointing seasons in the new competition, were delighted to accept the invitation to join the League of Wales for its inaugural season in 1992–93.

When the newly formed League of Wales was launched in 1992 Llanidloes Town were founder members but lasted only one season before dropping into the Cymru Alliance having been promised by the FAW that there were to be no relegations that season, a drop which proved to be costly. Five years were spent in the Cymru Alliance before another drop, this time to the mid Wales League in 1999. Nine years later another relegation – this time to the Montgomershire [amateur] League saw the club playing at its lowest ever level.

The fightback at that level began at the end of the 2009–10 season with the Montgomeryshire League championship and a return to the mid Wales League. After a period of consolidation Llanidloes Town won the Spar Mid Wales League at the end of the 2012–13 season with 132 goals scored in the process. To cap it off, The Daffs also won the league cup that season. Two seasons in the Cymru Alliance followed but another relegation, by just one point, saw them move back to the mid Wales league.

The club were Division 1 champions in 2019-20 and were therefore promoted to the Cymru North.

The 2021–22 season saw the club achieve a cup double picking up the Mongomeryshire and Central Wales cups.

The State Security Cabinet (SSC; , HaKabinet HaMedini-Bithoni), also known as the Ministerial Committee on National Security Affairs (, Va'adat HaSarim Le'Inyanei Bitahon leomi)  or National Security Affairs Committee (NSAC) is an "Inner Cabinet" within the Israeli Cabinet, headed by the Prime Minister of Israel, with the purpose of outlining a foreign and defense policy and implementing it. This smaller forum of the cabinet members, is designated to coordinate the diplomatic negotiations, and in times of crisis, especially war, it is designed to make quick and effective decisions.

History
The idea of establishing a Security Cabinet was initially part of the Centre Party's platform of 1999 election, chaired by Yitzhak Mordechai. The party offered a new security plan, in which a Security Cabinet would be established for the purpose of implementing an effective peace and security plan. According to their platform, a new council for diplomatic planning and advising would be established, that would be headed by a person appointed by the Prime Minister, who would preside over small professional teams in the relevant fields. Furthermore, they suggested that the Prime Minister, Acting Prime Minister, Vice Prime Minister, the Director-Generals of the Defense, Foreign, and Treasury ministries, as well as the Chief of General Staff, chief of Shin Bet, and the Military Secretary to Prime Minister, would take part in the Security Cabinet meetings on regular basis, and that others presiding over the diplomatic negotiations or any other relevant officials would participate accordingly. The idea behind the Security Cabinet was to create a professional objective advising body to the Cabinet. The members would evaluate different situations, offer alternatives and oversight, and determine positions on the Cabinet and the army.

In practice, the forming of this body was based on section 6 of the "Government Law" of 2001 that stipulated the following:

"The Government shall have a ministers committee composed of: The Prime Minister—chairman, Acting Prime Minister, if such was appointed, Defence Minister, Interior Minister, Internal Security Minister and the Treasury Minister.

The Government may, upon the proposal of the Prime Minister, coopt an additional members to the committee, provided that the number of its members not aggregate exceeding half of the Cabinet Members."

Concerning the issues to be addressed, the law stipulated that:

(A) The diplomatic-security and settling issues shall be debated within the committee.

(B) The  daily agenda of the committee, and the officials to be invited to participate in its meetings shall be determined by the Prime Minister, after consulting with the minister in charge.

(C) The Minister in charge, prior to any decision making, may demand on any matter debated within the committee to be moved to a full Cabinet meeting to be debated and resolved. The aforementioned shall not apply, should the Prime Minister be ascertain, after consulting with the minister in charge, that the circumstances concerning the matter requires an immediate decision or that there are other circumstances that justifies the committee's decision.

The "War Cabinet"
During Yom Kippur War, a group of ministers was formed arbitrarily, and had assumed responsibility for taking fundamental decisions during that war. This group became known as "The War Cabinet", and later was also nicknamed "Golda's kitchen". The "War Cabinet" had made independent decisions during those emergency times, and the Government had approved those decisions only in retrospect. Against that background, already during those times, the question of the necessity and role of such a cabinet arose. On the other hand, some suggested that the Cabinet members should run the war as they see fit—without the need of getting anybody's approval.

2023 activities
The State Security Cabinet formally placed the country under a state of war for the first time since the 1973 Yom Kippur War due to Operation Iron Swords.

The security cabinet was expanded on 12 October, with National Unity MKs Benny Gantz, Gadi Eizenkot, Gideon Sa'ar and Hili Tropper joining as full members and Yifat Shasha-Biton joining as an observer.

The Sunken Billions is a study jointly published in 2008 by the World Bank and by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).  The report shows that the difference between the potential and actual net economic benefits from marine fisheries is about USD 50 billion per year or some USD 2 trillion over the last three decades.

According to the report “by improving governance of marine fisheries, society could capture a substantial part of this $50 billion annual economic loss.  Through comprehensive reform, the fisheries sector could become a basis for economic growth and the creation of alternative livelihoods in many countries.  At the same time, a nation’s natural capital in the form of fish stocks could be greatly increased and the negative impacts of the fisheries on the marine environment reduced.”

If fish stock were rebuilt, the current marine catch could be achieved with approximately half of the current global fishing effort.  This illustrates the massive overcapacity of the global fleet.  The excess competition over the limited fish resources results in declining productivity, economic inefficiency, and depressed fisher incomes.

A 2017 update of the report found that the difference between potential and actual economic benefits from global fisheries had grown to USD 83 billion per year.

Club career
Watanabe made his J-League debut for Yokohama F. Marinos against Sanfrecce Hiroshima on 7 March 2009 and scored his first league goal. He kept up his scoring exploits throughout the 2009 season and finished with 13 league goals which broke the previous record for a rookie player set by Shoji Jo in 1994. This earned him the young player of the year award 2009. During his next two seasons in Yokohama, he did not quite hit the heights of his debut year, but he did go on to amass a respectable 15 goals in 54 league games across 2010 and 2011.

Watanabe was transferred to FC Tokyo ahead of the 2012 season and in total he spent 3 seasons in Japan's capital. 2013 was a highlight for him as he bagged 17 goals in 33 league games to help the men in blue and red finish in eighth place in the final standings. However, his other two seasons with Tokyo were rather forgettable, he scored six times in 27 league games during his first year at the Ajinomoto Stadium in 2012 before finishing off his career in the capital by netting just three times in 26 league appearances.

This loss of form in 2014 saw him shipped off to join Vissel Kobe ahead of the 2015 campaign. The move west seemed to do him good as he was immediately back into double figures in terms of goals scored, ending the 2015 season with 10 goals in 28 league appearances. The following year was even better for him personally as he scored 12 goals in 33 league games, which helped Kobe to an impressive seventh-place finish in the overall standings in 2016. That would prove to be the pinnacle of his career in the port city as he followed it up with eight goals in 34 league games in 2017 before netting just four times in 19 games in the first half of the 2018 season.

Watanabe joined Gamba Osaka in August 2018 in a deal which saw Gamba forward Shun Nagasawa move in the opposite direction. He made a scoring debut for the men in blue and black with a 27th-minute strike to break the deadlock in a league match away to Vegalta Sendai. Unfortunately for him and his team-mates his goal was not enough as Sendai fought back in the second half to finish as 2–1 winners. He ended the season with three goals in 12 league appearances to help Gamba to a ninth-place finish in the final league table.

In 2021 he joined Yokohama FC on a free transfer.

International career
Watanabe made his full, senior international debut for Japan on 6 January 2010 in a 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualifier against Yemen. He started the match and was replaced in the 85th minute by Kensuke Nagai as Japan came from two goals down to run out 3–2 winners.

Oswald Lewis (5 April 1887 – 12 February 1966) was a British businessman, barrister, and Conservative politician.

Early life
Born in Hampstead, north west London, Oswald Lewis was the younger son of John Lewis, founder of the chain of department stores that bears his name, and Eliza Baker. He was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford where he received the Boulter Exhibition in Law and graduated with an honours degree in jurisprudence. He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1912, but never practised. In 1911 he joined the 2nd County of London Yeomanry (Westminster Dragoons), and served in Egypt  during the First World War.

Business career
Lewis was a partner in John Lewis & Company until his father's death in 1928, when he sold his shares to his brother John Spedan Lewis.

Lewis returned to business after his political career came to an end; he was a member of the Worshipful Company of Farriers of the City of London, and was master of the company in 1952.

Political career
Although originally affiliated to the Liberal Party, having been a prospective parliamentary candidate for North Dorset, by 1928 he had moved to the Conservatives. In December 1928 he was chosen as Conservative candidate to defend the seat of Colchester at the upcoming general election. He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) and entered the House of Commons upon the 30 May 1929 election. He held the seat until his defeat at the 1945 general election by George Smith, who became Colchester's first and only Labour MP. Throughout his political tenure, Lewis chaired a number of standing and select committees.

In 1908 Lewis entered local politics when he was elected to St Marylebone Borough Council at a byelection. He was supported by both the Conservative and Liberal parties against a Labour Party candidate. He remained on the council until 1912. In 1913 he was elected to the London County Council to represent Hoxton for the Liberal-backed Progressive Party. He sat on the council until 1919.

Personal life

On the year 1928, Lewis married Frances Merriman and the couple had two children, including Peter. Lewis was the owner of Beechwood, a Grade II listed Georgian house in 11 acres of grounds in Highgate, north London.

He died at Beechwood on the 12th February 1966, aged 78, and is buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery, on the main path near the entrance to the Egyptian Avenue.

Clearly Impossible is a variation of the illusion of sawing a woman in half devised by Jonathan Pendragon.

Description
The illusion is very similar in principle and performance to the older "Thin Model" versions of sawing a woman in half, with the exception that the boxes used to cover the assistant being divided are clear, rather than opaque. In basic concept, it is very similar to the transparent sawing developed by Les Arnold in the late 1970s. However, in the Pendragons version, the boxes are much smaller, and are never covered at any point during the illusion. As a result, the assistant within the boxes remains in full view throughout, making this a particularly baffling illusion for the audience.

Performance
The illusion usually begins with the magician showing the audience a low table, designed to split into two halves. The main assistant is then introduced, and lies down on the table. Other assistants then place two boxes over the assistant, with clear sides and tops. As the upper box is placed over them, the main assistant extends their arm out of the open side of the box, while their head and feet extend out of the ends of the two boxes. Small stocks are then used to restrain the assistant's feet and neck. Because the boxes have clear sides, the audience is able to see right through them, and can see that the assistant has not curled up inside the upper box, as is described in many commonly available magic books for the "Thin Model" sawing.

The magician then cuts through the box using either a saw or sword (although some performers skip this step), and dividers are placed into the box either side of the cut. With the dividers in place, the two halves of the table are unlocked and pulled apart. As the assistant has been in full view of the audience throughout the illusion, it appears that they have been separated into two halves, the impossibility of this situation helping to give the illusion its name. The halves of the table are then pushed back together, the dividers removed, and the unharmed assistant released from the stocks and boxes.

Notable performances
While she was in a relationship with David Copperfield and not otherwise occupied with modelling work, Claudia Schiffer often assisted Copperfield in his stage shows as a "special guest assistant". Part of these shows was a performance of Clearly Impossible, with Schiffer as the assistant being sawed in half by Copperfield.

On a number of occasions when Claudia Schiffer was not available to assist David Copperfield, he performed the illusion on her fellow model Cindy Crawford.

During the 1996 TV special Champions of Magic, Jonathan Pendragon performed the illusion on the show's host, Princess Stéphanie of Monaco.

In November 2004, singer Shania Twain appeared on the BBC charity telethon Children in Need as a celebrity assistant in a magic act, being sawed in half in a performance of Clearly Impossible.

While appearing on a local TV talk show during a promotional visit to Japan in 2006, actress Mischa Barton took part in a performance of the illusion in which she was sawed in half by a local magician.

Italian singer Sabrina Salerno assisted illusionist Martin in a televised performance of Clearly Impossible.

While presenting SM:TV Live, British TV presenter Cat Deeley was the first British celebrity to be sawed in half in a version of Clearly Impossible.

During a promotional visit to Europe, Jessica Simpson participated in a performance of the illusion where she was sawed in half by illusionist Hans Klok, who used a large circular saw to divide her in two.

When she appeared on a Mexican talk show, Penélope Cruz took part in a performance of this illusion.

In February and March 2012, Klok visited the UK with his stage show The Houdini Experience, playing a five-week run. During the press night at the Peacock Theatre in London, he invited actress Louisa Lytton up onto the stage and, without any prior rehearsal, sawed her in half in his Clearly Impossible illusion.

Zoe Salmon took part in a performance of the illusion in an episode of Blue Peter.

In October 2019, during an appearance on the BBC's The One Show, Hailee Steinfeld was sawed in half in a performance of Clearly Impossible.

The Criterion Theatre was a theatre in Sydney, Australia which was built in 1886 by architect George R Johnson on the south east corner of Pitt and Park streets. It closed in 1935 and the building was demolished.

History
The Criterion Theatre often referred to as the 'Cri' opened on 27 December 1886. Situated on the south east corner of Pitt and Park streets, Sydney, it was funded by John Solomon and designed by architect George R Johnson. The 'Cri', was Sydney's most famous intimate playhouse at the time with a Neo-Renaissance exterior and a capacity of approximately 991 seats. The 'Cri' was used for drama and music performances for almost 50 years. It closed in 1935, partially as a result of the Depression and competition from the growth of cinemas and was demolished in 1935, to facilitate the widening of Park Street. The Criterion Hotel was built on the narrow strip of land remaining, a legacy of one of Sydney's earliest theatres.

Design and construction
The Criterion Theatre was built in the baroque (Italianate) style or the Neo-Renaissance style. It was conjoined with the Criterion Family Hotel. The internal design was Georgian colonial with a seating capacity of between 990-1000. The auditorium colour scheme was light blue and gold. Seats were covered in ruby plush velvet and balconies incorporated gilt and brocade. This was a distinct change from the conventions of theatre colour schemes at the time which tended to favour green baize. A portrait of James Cook proclaiming the east coast of Australia in the name of Britain descended between acts.

Although seen as an improvement on theatre design for Sydney, a report by the colonial architect was critical of inadequate and malodorous backstage facilities, in particular the orchestra pit and dressing rooms. This triggered a refurbishment in 1892. Interiors were remodelled along Moorish inspired colours of pale blue, fawn and gold. Cook's portrait was replaced by a Moorish Palace. A further refurbishment in 1905 addressed health and safety issues of backstage facilities as well as fireproofing, increased number of exits and additional seating capacity.

Productions
The Criterion Theatre opened with the operetta Falka performed by the Rignold and Allison Opera Company. Other notable productions included The Sultan of Mocha (1890), The Kelly Gang (1898) and The Squatter's Daughter (1907). It hosted a number of production companies including Brough Bouicault Comedy Company (producing works by Pinero and Wilde), Henry Bracy's Comic Opera Company, Pollards Lilliputian Opera Company and the Curtis Minstrels. Expatriates Oscar Ashe and Lily Brayton also toured production at the Cri. The final production at the Cri was Barry Connor's The Patsy.

In 1915, J. C. Williamson's leased the Cri from new owner Frank Musgrove. Williamson's imported London West End shows until the Cri closed in 1935. Prior to closure and demolition the north east corner of Pitt and park streets (adjacent to the Cri) became a popular meeting place for unemployed actors and was known as Poverty Point. The Criterion Family Hotel survived the demolition and became a popular watering hole for actors engaged in radio plays at the nearby Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC).

One Hundred and One Nights () is a 1995 French comedy film directed by Agnès Varda. A light-hearted look at 100 years of commercial cinema, it celebrates in vision and sound favourite films from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the USA. It was entered into the 45th Berlin International Film Festival.

Plot
With his hundredth birthday approaching and his memory failing, Simon Cinéma hires Camille, a bright young film student, to visit him in his isolated mansion outside Paris for 101 days and relive for him the history of the cinema in which he has been involved all his life. In his opulent seclusion, he models himself on Norma Desmond and his butler on Erich von Stroheim.

They watch clips from his collection, listen to snatches of dialogue and music, and discuss (not too deeply) famous films, directors, and characters. Actors from many countries drop in to visit him, in person or as memories: Marcello Mastroianni, Gérard Depardieu, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon, Jeanne Moreau (to whom he was once married), Hanna Schygulla (another former wife), Catherine Deneuve, Robert De Niro, Sandrine Bonnaire, Anouk Aimée, Fanny Ardant, Gina Lollobrigida, and Jane Birkin.

A subplot involves Camille's boyfriend Mica, who is trying with friends to make his first film and decides that the wealthy old man should help finance it. He persuades Vincent, who has been in India for years, to pose as Simon's long-lost grandson and heir. That plan is foiled by Elizabeth Taylor (played by a double), who gets Simon to leave everything for medical research. With Camille, Simon attends the Cannes festival and makes a triumphant return trip to Hollywood. Finally, he agrees to act as a Mafia chief in Mica's film.

Cast

Reviews
Janet Maslin wrote a favorable review in The New York Times published on 16 April 1999: "Catherine Deneuve, Alain Delon, Robert De Niro and Gerard Depardieu all make brief guest appearances in Agnes Varda's 1995 film.... And those are just the Ds. For this delirious birthday party in honor of filmmaking's first century, Ms. Varda has made every grand allusion she can manage and drawn upon every droppable name and celebrity connection. She creates a whirl of film's greatest hits, an overripe variety show that plays like the ultimate round of Trivial Pursuit....What makes her film as engaging as it is excessive is the obvious affection with which Ms. Varda has collected these memories. The vast array of film clips that surface here have been chosen for their quirkiness or emotional impact rather than for academic reasons. And the loose talk that links otherwise unrelated sequences tends to be playful, despite the ample opportunities for pomposity that this format provides."

Variety'''s Lisa Nesselson gave a mixed review: "Agnes Varda, who has been making movies for 40 of the 100 years that motion pictures have existed, has put everything she knows about filmmaking and much of what she loves about the cinema into A Hundred and One Nights'' [sic]. But despite a star-decked cast and manifest good intentions, Varda's self-described 'divertimento' soars in only a few spots."

KWVN-FM (107.7 FM, "107.7 Hot FM") is a commercial radio station licensed to serve Pendleton, Oregon, United States. The station, originally launched in October 1978, is currently owned by Randolph and Debra McKone's Elkhorn Media Group and the broadcast license is held by EMG2, LLC.

Programming
KWVN-FM broadcasts an adult hits music format to the greater Columbia Basin area.  Notable syndicated programming includes American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest on Sunday mornings.

History
This station began regular broadcasting on October 1, 1978, broadcasting with 27,500 watts on 107.7 MHz as KUMA-FM, sister station to KUMA (1290 AM).  Under the ownership of the Pendleton Broadcasting Company, KUMA-FM aired a "bright and beautiful" music format.

KUMA-FM was founded by Theodore A. "Ted" Smith and his wife Phyllis as part of Pendleton Broadcasting Company, a business that Ted Smith joined in 1955 after his service in the United States Navy.  In September 1988, Ted and Phyllis Smith applied to the FCC to transfer control of the Pendleton Broadcasting Company to Gregory A. Smith, their son.  The deal was approved by the FCC on November 18, 1988.  The younger Smith applied to the FCC for a new callsign and the station was assigned KSXM on August 1, 1989.  KSXM dropped most of the simulcast with the AM station and adopted a classic rock music format.

In March 1993, Pendleton Broadcasting Company, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station and sister station KUMA-FM to Capps Broadcast Group's Round-Up Radio, Inc.  The deal was approved by the FCC on July 1, 1993, and the transaction was consummated on the same day. The station applied to the FCC for the return of its original callsign and this request was granted on September 24, 1993.

On January 11, 2010, KUMA-FM changed their call sign to KWVN-FM. On January 27, 2010 KWVN-FM changed their format to adult hits, branded as "107.7 The Vine".

On February 2, 2015 KWVN-FM changed their format to Top 40 (CHR), branded as "107.7 Hot FM".

KWVN-FM today primarily targets the Walla Walla valley and Milton-Freewater, OR. Signal and geographic limitations from the current tower location make KWVN unsuitable to rebrand as a Tri-Cities area FM station without a booster service to fill in areas of Kennewick shielded by terrain.

Effective November 1, 2017, Capps Broadcast Group sold KWVN-FM and nine other broadcast properties to Elkhorn Media Group for $1.75 million.

Facilities
KWVN-FM shares a studio building with sister stations KTIX (1240 AM), KUMA (1290 AM), and KWHT (103.5 FM).  This multi-station facility is located at the west end of Eastern Oregon Regional Airport.  KWVN-FM broadcasts from a tower that originally served as the broadcast tower for KTIX from 1941 to 2002. It was removed from its original South Hill location and re-erected on Cabbage Hill for the FM station's use.

Translators
KWVN-FM programming is also carried on multiple broadcast translator stations to extend or improve the coverage area of the station.

The then-KUMA-FM translators made headlines in March 1994 when the FCC shut down a quarter-watt pirate radio station in Condon, Oregon, operated by Bill Roberts on the same frequency as one of the translator stations, causing interference.  Roberts, who ran the station from his bedroom with a focus on community news and local sports, believed the operation to be legal but agents from the FCC's Portland, Oregon, field office informed him otherwise and ordered the shutdown.
