Bill Amick (November 16, 1925 – July 15, 1995) was a NASCAR Grand National Series and West Coast driver from Portland, Oregon. He has one win, nineteen top-fives, twenty-seven top 10s, and five poles in Grand National.

Driving career
After racing in the NASCAR Pacific Coast Late Model Series, Amick jumped to the Grand National Series in 1954 and ran six races. Two years later, he was able to finish seventeenth in the standings. He improved that in 1957, to sixteenth place. That year, he also won his first and only race at the Capital Speedway in Sacramento, California. That was his highest point finish in his NASCAR Grand National Career. He only raced Grand National part-time because he wanted to focus on the Pacific Coast Late Models in which he finished second in the standings in 1964 and won the championship a year later. After a brief stint of running in the Can-Am Series, Amick retired and started working with NASCAR speedways.

Personal life
Brother of George Amick. Despite sharing the same first name, he was not the father of Lyndon Amick. They are not related. Lyndon Amick hails from South Carolina, while Bill and George Amick were from Vernonia, Oregon.

Awards
Amick was inducted in the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame in its first class (2002).

The Ukrainian Travel Document of a child is a former document used for travel abroad which is issued to Ukrainian citizens under the age of 18 (16 in some cases).

The Travel Document of a Child is issued for 3 years and it has only 8 (or 16 or 32 pages in theory). The Travel Document of Child is actually an international passport (PR sub-type). It satisfies the international standards; for example, it has two machine-readable strings at the bottom of the first page. Similar to a Ukrainian passport, the information in the document is given in Ukrainian and English. The Travel Document of a Child is issued with a color photo.

The first and last name in the Travel Document of a Child by default is transliterated from Ukrainian to English according to the national transliteration system (1996). However, a person's parent has an option to request the desired English spelling of his child's first and last name.

It is required to provide a notary sealed request from both parents to obtain the Travel Document of a Child.

Since March 1, 2015 travel document of a child is no longer issued.

The 2009 Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg was the second round of the 2009 American Le Mans Series season. It took place at the Streets of St. Petersburg, Florida on April 4, 2009. The Acura ARX-02a earned its first overall victory under the Patrón Highcroft Racing team after early leader de Ferran Motorsports suffered mechanical issues. Acura also won the LMP2 category with Lowe's Fernández Racing, while GT2 was won by the Porsche of Flying Lizard Motorsports.

Report

Qualifying
In qualifying solely for the GT2 category, due to the lack of GT1 class competitors for this event, Jaime Melo in the Risi Competizione Ferrari led the pack before a red flag stopped the session due to an incident involving eventual fifth place qualifier Patrick Long in the Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche. Farnbacher-Loles and the two BMWs completed the top of the GT2 grid.

In prototype qualifying the Acura of Simon Pagenaud dominated by earning de Ferran Motorsports a pole position by nearly a second over the other Acura of Patrón Highcroft Racing. Acura also led the LMP2 category as the Lowe's Fernández Racing car was piloted by Luis Díaz to third overall, beating the closest Dyson Lola-Mazda by three tenths of a second.

David John Mitchell (24 August 1945 – 10 December 2020) was an English footballer who played for Port Vale and Ipswich Town in the Football League in the 1960s.

Career
Mitchell graduated through the Port Vale youth team to sign professional forms under manager Freddie Steele in March 1964. He made his first-team debut at Vale Park on 7 September 1964, in a 1–0 defeat to Luton Town. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw at Mansfield Town on 28 September. He scored four goals in 19 league and cup games in the 1964–65 season, as the "Valiants" were relegated out of the Third Division. However, he played just five games in the 1965–66 season, scoring one goal in a 3–0 home win over Lincoln City, as Vale struggled near the foot of the Fourth Division table under new boss Jackie Mudie. He was given a free transfer in May 1966 and moved on to Ipswich Town. He played just two Second Division games for Bill McGarry's "Blues" in the 1966–67 season, and left the Football League after departing Portman Road. He later became a police officer in Stoke-on-Trent and married Mary.

The Pacific International Children's Choir Festival (PICCFEST) was established in 1998 as a week-long residential event and quickly became regarded as one of the top treble choir festivals in North America. The festival's co-founder and Artistic Director: Peter Robb, a composer and arranger of choral music as well as a conductor.  The other co-founders: Genevieve Robb and Rebecca Robb Hicks. The gathering took place each year in Eugene, Oregon, United States, in conjunction with the long-established Oregon Bach Festival.

In 2015 the name was changed to Pacific International Choral Festivals (picfest) in order to better identify the expansion from one festival to two festivals each season. With the slogan Longer season, shorter name, picfest announced a line-up of four distinct events. On even numbered years, the June event became Youth Choral Festival (open to all voicings of young choirs up through age 18) and the new July event became the Young Women's Choral Festival (for female singers through age 18). On odd numbered years, picfest featured its flagship Treble Choral Festival in June and the newly renamed Sing Brothers Sing! Choral Festival in July (for male singers up through age 18).

picfest was built on a non-competitive model. Each year ten -sixteen choirs are admitted through an audition process that takes into account the choir's history, repertoire, and recordings. Since inception, more than 180 choirs from 38 states and provinces in the United States, Canada, Australia, Finland, Taiwan and the Philippines have been selected and participated.

Choirs and their chaperones are housed on the beautiful University of Oregon campus.

The collaboration between picfest and the Oregon Bach Festival usually results in a performance by the picfest Chorus at the opening ceremonies of the Oregon Bach Festival. In 2008, with the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials running concurrently with the festivals, the opening ceremonies performance took place on the performance venue at track's legendary Hayward Field. In 2011 and 2017, the Oregon Bach Festival had no official opening ceremony, and the entire picfest Chorus performed a free On-The-House concert.

picfest presents one of the Oregon Bach Festival's On-The-House concerts in the Hult Center lobby during each festival. This concert features one or two of the visiting choirs or the entire festival chorus, as in 2011 and 2017. Attending choirs also perform individually at various local churches on the Sunday of the June Festival. Each festival concludes with a ticketed concert -  the Gala Concert in June and the Finale Concert in July - performed by the Festival Chorus and guest musicians.

Conductors  and themes
Each year picfest features a guest conductor of international stature. Recent guest conductors have included Susan Brumfield (2019), Sandra Snow (2003, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2015), Bob Chilcott (2005, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2022), Lynne Gackle (2010), Andrea Ramsey (2014, 2016) and Henry Leck (2001, 2006, 2013, 2017).

Beginning in 2014, the season expanded to two festivals each summer. On even numbered years: Youth Choral Festival and Young Women's Choral Festival;  and on odd numbered years: Treble Choral Festival and Boys & Young Men's Choral Festival. Scheduled for 2019 are Susan Brumfield (Treble Choral Festival) and Fernando Malvar-Ruiz (Sing Brothers Sing! Choral Festival). The 2020 season features Bob Chilcott (Youth Choral Festival) and Andrea Ramsey/Sandra Snow (Young Women's Choral Festival).

The repertoire of the festival chorus reflects a theme selected for each year, except for 2010 and 2012, which didn't have official themes:
1998 - Our Voices Raised in Song
1999 - Color the World with a Song

Louise Adler  is an Australian publisher. She was CEO of Melbourne University Publishing (MUP) from 2003 until 2019, when she became editor-at-large at Hachette Australia. In March 2022 she took up a three-year appointment as director of Adelaide Writers' Week, starting with the 2023 edition of the event.

Early life and education
Louise Adler was born in Melbourne to Jacques and Ruth Adler, Jewish immigrants from Paris, France, who arrived in Australia in 1949. Jacques joined the French Resistance in World War II after his own father, Simon Adlersztejn, was rounded up and deported to Beaune-la-Rolande, eventually dying at Auschwitz. Ruth was taken to France as a seven-year-old by her parents fleeing from Nazi Germany, but her extended family were all murdered in the Holocaust. In Melbourne, Ruth worked as a schoolteacher, and Jacques was a research fellow in the history department of the University of Melbourne.

Adler attended Elwood Primary School, the Elsternwick campus of Methodist Ladies' College, and finally Mount Scopus Memorial College.

After matriculation she went first to study in Israel, before moving to the United Kingdom. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from University of Reading, and a Master of Arts and Master of Philosophy from Columbia University, studying under Edward Said.

Career
In 1980, after returning to Melbourne from New York City, Adler became a literature tutor at the University of Melbourne. From 1988 to 1989 she was editor of Australian Book Review,  and from 1989 to 1994 publishing director of Reed Books Australia. She then became arts and entertainment editor for The Age, where she ran into conflicts with some of her colleagues as well as theatre critic Len Radic, over a review she wrote. From 1996 she worked for ABC Radio, presenting Arts Today, before becoming the inaugural Deputy Director (Academic and Research)  at the Victorian College of the Arts in 1999.

From around 1999 she served as a council member of Monash University, and served as Deputy Chancellor from 2010 to 2013.

She became CEO of Melbourne University Publishing (MUP) in 2003, during which time it published the literary magazine Meanjin (which went online during this period). She resigned from MUP in January 2019, along with four board members, after the university had decided on a change of strategy, turning back to a more academic focus. Adler had broadened its focus to include books with greater commercial appeal, including books by public figures and present and former politicians, such as Gough Whitlam and Tony Abbott. The board members who resigned feared a loss of editorial independence under the new strategy.

Adler was appointed publisher-at-large for Hachette Australia in September 2019.

She took over as director of Adelaide Writers' Week after the March 2022 edition, when she stepped down from Hachette and began to plan for the 2023 event. She is taking over the role from Jo Dyer for three years, directing the event until 2025. She has selected writers with the intention of exploring the meaning of truth, including JM Coetzee, playwright David Hare, and filmmaker Terence Davies.

At the Adelaide Writers' week in 2023, authors who had praised Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke, leading at least two Ukrainian authors to withdraw.  Consequently at least three large sponsors withdrew their support for the festival.

Board memberships and other roles
Adler has also served on several boards, including as a member of the Monash University council, director on the Melbourne International Arts Festival board and director on the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art board. She also spent time as a member of the boards of Monash University Museum of Art, the Melbourne International Arts Festival and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art.

She was chairperson of the board of her old school, Methodist Ladies' College, in 2012, when the then principal, Rosa Storelli, was sacked in 2012 over a dispute about her past salary sacrifice arrangements, with an audit suggesting that she had been overpaid more than  over ten years. Her sacking caused anger among many parents, with a public meeting calling for the resignation of the board and the reinstatement of Storelli, and the event was covered widely on Australian media. Adler's last year on the board was 2015.

From 2010 to 2013, she served as deputy chair of the Book Industry Strategy Group and the Book Industry Collaborative Council.

In 2015, she was president of the Australian Publishers Association and was appointed to chair the Prime Minister's Literary Awards for fiction and poetry by Tony Abbott.

The Apthorp Farm that lay on Manhattan's Upper West Side straddled the old Bloomingdale Road, laid out in 1728, which was re-surveyed as The "Boulevard" – now Upper Broadway. It was the largest block of real estate remaining from the "Bloomingdale District", a rural suburb of 18th-century New York City. Legal disputes between the eventual heirs of the Loyalist Charles Ward Apthorp and purchasers of parcels of real estate held in abeyance the speculative development of the area between 89th and 99th Streets, from Central Park to the Hudson River until final judgment was awarded in July 1910; at that time the New York Times estimated its worth at $125,000,000.

History

Charles Ward Apthorp Jr. (1729–1797) was the eldest son of prominent and wealthy Boston-born British agent Charles Apthorp in Massachusetts. He assembled the property in Manhattan through purchases in 1762 and 1763. In 1764 he built for himself an ambitious house, one of the grandest pre-Revolutionary houses on the island, on the rise of ground between what are now 90th and 91st Streets, and Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, with a lane forty-feet wide extending down to the Bloomingdale Road. The New York Times observed in 1910 "Had this tract been handed down from son to son on the British landed gentry system the owner to-day would virtually be New York's Duke of Westminster." The house gained its name of "Elmwood" from the mature American elms that shaded it until it was demolished in 1891 to make way for 91st Street, having served for decades as a beer garden, public inn and picnic grounds called "Elm Park".

Apthorp's house faced the Hudson River, whose far shore and the Hudson Palisades were visible from its elevated position. It stood on a fieldstone service basement lit from a light well that surrounded the house. Six steps led to a wide and deeply recessed entrance bay and an arch-headed main door with flanking windows united by a common cornice, the "Palladian window". A similar grouping over it lit the central upper hall. On either side there were two flanking bays with pedimented window surrounds on the grand main floor and square three-over-three windows on the bedroom floor. There were two dormer windows in the attic. At each corner was a colossal fluted Ionic pilaster; the architecturally correct entablature was carried straight across the eaves, broken slightly forward over the entrance bay, where it was surmounted by a pediment. Ionic pilasters marched across the end fronts, three bays deep, whose gables were treated as pediments. The wooden siding was scored to imitate ashlar masonry.

It seems that such an unusual design has been adapted from an engraving in one of the illustrated architectural guides, addressed to gentlemen and builders alike, that by 1767 could have filled a library shelf. One such book owned by Charles Ward Apthorp is known, for he inscribed his name and the date 1759 in a copy of a translation of Sébastien Leclerc's architectural treatise that was published in London as A Treatise of Architecture, with Remarks and Observations By that Excellent Master thereof Sébastien Leclerc, Knight of the Empire, Designer and Engraver to the Cabinet of the late French King... Its four dedications were to the Worshipful Companies of Carvers, Joyners, Bricklayers and Masons of London, each represented by their coat-of-arms. The book passed to Apthorp's nephew, the architect Charles Bulfinch. The ultimate source for all such neo-Palladian five-bay villas with recessed loggia entrances under a pediment, is Palladio's own Villa Emo.

Apthorp had been appointed to the Governor's Council the previous year, a position he held right through the British occupation of New York, until the 1783 evacuation, earning him the fierce opprobrium of his Patriot neighbors.

Aside from his private drive, Apthorp laid out cross-lanes on his farm, long known as Stryker's Lane and Jauncey's Lane. Jauncey's Lane gained its name from the rich Englishman, William Jauncey, who purchased Apthorp's "Elmwood". Also called "Apthorp's Lane" or simply the "Crossroad to Harlem, it extended eastwards to Harlem Commons later taken into Central Park. The Crossroad to Harlem had a part to play in the Battle of Harlem Heights, 16 September 1776, for it was the route the British General Clinton took after marching up from the city along the Boston Post Road, in cutting across the island; they failed to intercept Silliman's brigade of militia, toiling up the Bloomingdale Road to rejoin the American troops at twilight. The picturesque and leafy lanes marked property boundaries when he left his estate of some  among his ten children, but they were abolished, on paper at least, by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 that laid out the present grid plan of Manhattan, which, it was assumed, would take more than a century to build upon. Early suits over the property were brought as early as 1799, and final litigation among the Apthorp heirs, and their assigns who had purchased parcels of the Apthorp property, for building rights over the former route of the Bloomingdale Road and lanes abandoned by the city, in order to close them once and for all, dragged on for five years, 1905–1911.

The ghostly passage of the lanes can still be detected; that of Jauncey's Lane subsists in the mid-block break between apartment buildings fronting Broadway just north of the northwest corner of 91st Street and running diagonally west to West End Avenue, and formerly all the way to Riverside Drive, and that of Stryker's Lane in the similar gap between 93rd and 94th Streets, once running to the house built by Gerrit Stryker overlooking Stryker's Bay, a river landing now represented by infilled parkland of Riverside Park at the foot of 96th Street and the river.

The original divisions were carefully made by Apthorp's Patriot son-in-law Hugh Williamson, who had married Maria Apthorp at Elmwood, 3 January 1789.

Elm Park
For a time in the mid- to late-19th century, until 1891, the mansion and its grounds, between 90th and 92nd Streets and Ninth (now Columbus) and Tenth (now Amsterdam) Avenues, served as a beer garden, inn and picnic ground known as "Elm Park", a venue that was favored by the large German immigrant community in Manhattan. It was also used as a parade ground by the 69th Regiment in 1855. In 1870, it was the site of the first Orange riot, in which Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics clashed, killing 8 people.

The Apthorp
The Apthorp, the grand apartment block that commemorates Apthorp's name, was built in 1908 on the site of a house built in the 1760s by Apthorp and sold in 1767 to his brother-in-law (via both his wife and sister) James McEvers, with its "houses, outhouses, kitchens, barns and stables." McEvers' heirs sold it in 1792 to the second wife of John C. (Jan Cornelius) Van den Heuvel; following her death in 1792 he became Apthorp's son-in-law when he married Charlotte Augusta Apthorp. In 1827 his heirs sold the property, extending down to the Hudson River, before long to become a right-of-way for the Hudson River Railroad. William Burnham rented it from 1839, maintaining it as the somewhat genteel roadhouse called "Burnham's Mansion House" A large parcel of the southern part of the Apthorp farm extending north to 89th Street, was purchased in 1860 by the real estate magnate William B. Astor whose son, John Jacob Astor III, had married the Van den Heuvel's granddaughter, Charlotte Gibbes. The Van den Heuvel house, partly rebuilt after a fire but as "Burnham's" still occupying a full city lot between 78th and 79th Streets, west of Broadway to West End Avenue, was purchased by William Waldorf Astor, son of John Jacob Astor III and second great grandson to Charles Ward Apthorp Jr., in 1878.

Robert Hale (August 22, 1938 – August 23, 2023) was an American operatic bass-baritone. He was first a leading baritone at the New York City Opera for a decade, where he performed, alongside Beverly Sills, mostly in Mozart operas and in the revival of belcanto opera such as Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor.

Hale then shifted to heavier roles, performing the title role of Wagner's Der fliegende Holländer first in 1978 at the Opernhaus Wuppertal, Germany. After his success there, he became in demand to perform the role at leading opera houses in Europe and the United States. He went further and tackled the role of Wotan in Wagner's Ring cycle, which he first performed in Wiesbaden in 1984, then at the Deutsche Oper Berlin in 1986. It became his signature role, performed and recorded worldwide, and he regarded the Berlin company as his artistic home for almost two decades.

Life and career
Born in Kerrville, Texas, on August 22, 1938, Robert Hale spent his childhood in Louisiana. His family then moved to Oklahoma City, where he attended high school and college. He graduated from Bethany-Peniel College (now Southern Nazarene University) in 1955 with a Bachelor of Music degree. He then completed his master's degree at the University of Oklahoma. During his studies there, he won the National Association of Teachers of Singing award in the Singer of the Year category. He completed further studies at Boston University and the New England Conservatory of Music. He won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. His voice teachers were Gladys Miller, Chloe Owen and Léopold Simoneau, and also Boris Goldovsky in New York.

Early career in the United States
Hale began his career as a recitalist appearing in concert halls across the United States. He made his operatic debut in 1965 in the title role of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro at the Denver Opera. He appeared at the New York City Opera from 1967, first as Colline in Puccini's La bohème. He remained with the company as a leading baritone for 10 years, where was often seen in productions starring Beverly Sills, performing for example as Raimondo in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor which was broadcast nationwide. Other roles in the revival of the then-neglected belcanto repertoire were Enrico in Donizetti's Anna Bolena, and Bellini's Giorgio in I puritani, and Ottoveso in Norma. He also appeared there as Mozart's Don Giovanni, as both Figaro and the Count in Le nozzze di figaro, also as Escamillo in Bizet's Carmen, and the Father in Chabrier's Louise.

As a guest, he performed the role of Claudius in Hamlet by Ambroise Thomas at the San Diego Opera in 1978, and the four villains in Offenbach's Les contes d'Hoffmann at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires in 1980.

International career
Hale shifted towards heavier bass-baritone repertoire and appeared in the title role of Wagner's Der fliegende Holländer first at the Opernhaus Wuppertal in Germany in 1978. After the success there, he became in demand to sing it at other houses, such as the Bavarian State Opera, the Hamburg State Opera and the Stuttgart State Opera the same year, and also at the Opernhaus Zürich, Deutsche Oper am Rhein and Oper Frankfurt, among others. Hale appeared at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, again first as the Holländer, alongside Janis Martin as Senta and conducted by James Levine. It was his 100th performance in the role, as reviewer John Rockwell from the New York Times mentioned, who compared the evening to the premiere with a different cast. He wrote:

Hale performed the role of Wotan in Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (which is the Wanderer in its part Siegfried), first at Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden, directed by Nicolas Joel, who had been an assistant to Patrice Chéreau for the Jahrhundertring, the centenary production of the Ring at the Bayreuth Festival in 1976. Hale appreciated the director's work as "strong, clear, concise, related directly to the text". He then performed the role at Deutsche Oper Berlin, in a 1986 production directed by Götz Friedrich. He came to regard the company as his artistic home, where he learned "not only to sing his great operatic roles, but also to shape them in terms of words and acting". He performed Wotan in 30 performances at the house until 2005, and was on stage more than 170 times. The Ring production toured to Japan, as the first time the cycle was performed there completely. It also toured to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in 1989. A reviewer noted then:

Other roles in Berlin included Pizarro in Beethoven's Fidelio, Amonasro in Verdi's Aida, Scarpia in Puccini's Tosca, the Holländer, the four villains in Les contes d'Hoffmann, and Méphistophélès in Gounod's Faust, as a "whimsical antithesis" to Wotan. giving him a chance to show his "comic talent with electric guitar and devil costume".

Hale appeared as Wotan and Holländer in many major opera houses of the world, receiving the Russian Golden Mask award in 2005 for his performance as the Holländer at the Bolshoi Theatre. He performed the role of Jochanaan in Salome by Richard Strauss when he first sang at the Royal Opera House in London, in 1988, where he worked with Georg Solti. Hale performed in the Ring and as Escamillo at the San Francisco Opera. He portrayed Wotan in Die Walküre at the Vienna State Opera in 1992, alongside Plácido Domingo as Siegmund. He also appeared as Jago in Verdi's Otello. Hale sang the title role of Bartok's opera Bluebeard's Castle, in a concert performance at Carnegie Hall in May 1999, with Christoph von Dohnányi conducting the Cleveland Philharmonic. In 2002, he appeared as the Holländer at the San Diego Opera. He performed at other leading opera houses including La Scala in Milan, the Liceu in Barcelona, Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, the Royal Danish Opera, the Finnish National Opera, and the Sydney Opera.

He performed at many European festivals. At the Salzburg Festival, he portrayed Pizarro in Fidelio and sang the bass solo in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in 1990, and returned for Barak in Die Frau ohne Schatten in 1992. He took part in the Bregenz Festival Ravenna, Lausanne, Bordeaux and Savonlinna. In the United States, he appeared at the Tanglewood Music Festival, the Ravinia Festival, Cincinnati May Festival, the Wolftrap, and at the Hollywood Bowl.

Personal life
Hale was half of the "Hale & Wilder" concert duo, performing folk and gospel music with tenor Dean Wilder in over 4000 concerts.

He was married to the soprano Inga Nielsen from 1978. They recorded love songs together, and operas such as Salome and Tosca, of which Nielsen said "I have many ways of killing my husband". They were divorced in 2005.

In the summer of 2009 Hale started performing in recitals and concerts (especially in churches) with his second wife, soprano Julie Davies, under the name "Hale & Davies: Celebration of Song."

In the U.S., Hale was a national patron of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity.

Robert Hale died in California on August 23, 2023, one day after his 85th birthday.

Recordings
Hale is featured as Wotan on the Decca recordings of Das Rheingold and Die Walküre with Christoph von Dohnányi conducting the Cleveland Orchestra, as well as Der fliegende Holländer with Dohnányi conducting the Vienna Philharmonic, all three issued on compact discs. He recorded Wotan also on EMI's video recording of the complete Ring cycle from the Bavarian State Opera in Munich with Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting.

Hale recorded Handel's Messiah with Sir John Eliot Gardiner on Decca, and both Verdi's Requiem and Schumann's Das Paradies und die Peri for Deutsche Grammophon with Giuseppe Sinopoli. Hale recorded the role of Jochanaan in the Chandos 1998 recording of Salome by Richard Strauss.

In North America, a roll-off is a usually open-top dumpster characterized by a rectangular footprint, utilizing wheels to facilitate rolling the dumpster in place.  The container is designed to be transported by special roll-off trucks. There are two types of delivery trucks for the bins based on bin size, and they are: Hook lift bins and Roll-off bins. Roll-offs are commonly used to contain loads of construction and demolition waste or other waste types. While most roll-off containers have a swinging door on the end for easier disposal of waste, some roll-off containers are not open-top and are used with commercial or industrial trash compactors.

Construction debris may originate from a building site where something is being built, renovated, or demolished. Roll-off dumpsters are also used for various jobs that need much material to be taken away. The material in the roll-off may be taken to a landfill, recycled or disposed/recovered of in some other way.

Size
Roll-off containers have a rectangular footprint, typically determined by the size of typical trucks.  Roll-off container sizes are determined by the amount of debris they can hold, measured in cubic yards.  Typical container sizes in the United States are 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards(, , ,  and ) (or  in other nations).

While the roll-offs may be rented by volume, there may be weight limitations. Weight limits may be necessary to ensure compliance with road-use and safety laws and regulations. Most roll-off providers will have a weight limit for each container size.  Containers loaded with more weight than allowed typically will not be hauled away due to safety reasons. Containers that are overloaded can result in damage to the roll-off truck and the road it drives on. The maximum weight is specified at the beginning of the job.  In cases where the material to be disposed of is especially dense, such as dirt, rock, or concrete, a container with lower sidewalls is used. This is to help reduce the risk of exceeding the weight limit. The standard weight limit determined by the department of transportation is not to exceed ten (10) tons of debris.

Operation
After the container is picked up, it is taken to a disposal facility where it is weighed before (gross) and after (tare) dumping. The difference is the net weight, and is used to calculate charges to the customer. For efficiency, some facilities pre-record weights of trucks and containers. This allows the tare weight to be looked up and eliminates the need for a second weighing.

Roll-offs are placed by roll-off trucks.  As the roll-off truck raises its hydraulically operated bed, the roll-off container rolls off the bed. A cable is used to slowly lower the container. After the waste container is loaded, the roll-off truck pulls the filled container onto the roll-off truck with the cable and winch system. If the roll-off truck is not a winch system, then it is most likely a hook-lift system. A hook-lift system works by the truck extending a 90 degree arm with a hook on the end which hooks under a bar and gently lifts the dumpster onto the truck. Most hook-lift systems are on smaller roll-off trucks, as they are usually used for 20-yard containers and under. These smaller systems are usually the preferred option on smaller scale construction jobs such as roof replacement, kitchen remodels, and garage clean-outs. Smaller single-axle trucks are generally viewed as safer operations as they are much lighter and more easily transported in residential areas.  When carried, the roll-off must be covered.

Cost factors
There are three parts to roll-off dumpster pricing: dump rate, haul rate, and overage fees. Dumpster rental companies pay the landfill, transfer station, recycling center, or other type of disposal facility a fee to dump the customer's waste. Fees fluctuate from area to area and facility to facility. Dump fees can be the majority of the cost for the dumpster, and are measured in short tons in the U.S. The haul rate is the rate that roll-off rental companies charge to cover operating costs and generate profit. Overage fees are additional fees the customer must pay if the dumpster is loaded more than the allotted tonnage limit. Overage fees are typically prorated and the same as the company's dump rate.

Disadvantages
One problem often encountered with roll-off containers is the liability of scratching or damaging the surface they are placed on. Most roll-off containers have metal rollers for wheels, which can at times scratch or be abrasive to a concrete or asphalt surface. It is recommended to place a protective board such as plywood under the container to avoid a situation where the placement surface can be damaged. Most roll-off companies do not offer plywood, but will place the container on the wood if supplied. The roll-off must be placed on a hard surface other than dirt. Gravel, asphalt, and concrete are all acceptable. If the container is placed on dirt, the wheels may sink after a rainfall event and the truck could get stuck.

There are many items that are not accepted by roll-off rental companies.  These items include but are not limited to chemicals, including paint and petroleum products, tires, and electronics.  The prohibition of items is often to comply with laws and regulations concerning disposal of hazardous materials. Roll-off drivers may refuse to pick up loads containing prohibited materials. If the load is picked up, the roll-off rental company may charge the customer additional for cleaning the load and proper handling of the contaminating material.

Legal issues
Some municipalities require that a permit be obtained in order to have a roll-off dumpster delivered.  If the container is being set on private property, most cities will not require a permit.  Some municipalities require the permit to be obtained by the customer, while others require the permit to be obtained by the roll-off provider. However, many cities do not require permits to have a dumpster delivered.

There are usually prohibited items that are commonly not allowed for disposal, such as hazardous materials, tires, freon appliances, televisions, paint, asbestos, batteries, oils, fuels, and tar-treated railroad ties because of regulations affecting final waste disposal.

In the PopMatters review, the staff wrote the CD "can, with the ensuing years’ recognition of difficult popular artists, be set next to such crowd-pleasers as Leo Kottke and not seem that out of place... His performances for Vanguard are challenging, but in a way that we have now assimilated.". Andy Battaglia of Salon.com called the compilation "an adequate, though limited, introduction to John Fahey" while also stating "His music can be placed neatly within an indigenous folk tradition, but also alongside the most carefully considered examples of harmony's inherent power. As a great folk-song writer, Fahey was a great composer."

Matt Fink, writing for Allmusic called the compilation  "an excellent overview of Fahey's tenure on the Vanguard label and also documents an impressively innovative period for the experimental guitarist. Mysterious, groundbreaking, mind-bending, and nearly disorienting, Fahey's unique genius is on display throughout the 70-plus minutes of mostly solo acoustic tracks. Taking country blues on a dizzying and occasionally unsettling journey, this is pretty revolutionary material, even if it all doesn't rank with the very best in his catalog."

The Expédition d'Irlande was a French attempt to invade Ireland in December 1796 during the French Revolutionary Wars. Encouraged by representatives of the Society of United Irishmen, an Irish republican organisation, the French Directory decided that the best strategy for eliminating Britain from the war was to invade Ireland, then under British control. It was hoped that a substantial invasion in the summer of 1796 would encourage a widespread uprising among the Irish population and force the British to abandon Ireland, providing a major strategic and propaganda coup for the French Republic and a staging point for a subsequent invasion of Britain. Assigned to lead the operation was General Lazare Hoche, the Republic's most successful military commander, who was provided with a significant body of troops and the services of the entire French Atlantic fleet.[A]

Preparation for the invasion was slow throughout the autumn, and it was not until December that the force was ready to leave Brest. The delay was principally the result of poor organisation and discipline within the French Navy, and preparations were only completed once the commander at Brest, Vice-amiral Villaret de Joyeuse, had been replaced with Vice-amiral Morard de Galles and Hoche given direct command of discipline within the fleet. Departing Brest on 15 December, the French invasion fleet was almost immediately scattered: a combination of bad weather, inexperience at sea and the depredations of British frigates dispersing the force and destroying one ship of the line. As separate ships and small squadrons made their way independently to the rendezvous point off Mizen Head, the flagship frigate Fraternité was chased deep into the Atlantic by a British frigate and took more than a week to return to Ireland. In that time the rest of the fleet, buffeted by the worst winter storms since 1708, broke up off the landing beaches in Bantry Bay, the weather too fierce to allow any amphibious landings.

By the last week of December 1796 the fleet was in full retreat, having failed to land a single soldier in Ireland. Several ships were wrecked or foundered in heavy seas, and a British frigate squadron based at Cork managed to seize a number of lone frigates and transports during the first two weeks of January. The main British fleet, although ordered to intercept the invasion force, made little progress and did not arrive in the Western Approaches until 13 January, by which time all except three French ships had been accounted for. Two, including the flagship Fraternité, were chased by the British fleet, eventually reaching safety at Rochefort. The third, the ship of the line Droits de l'Homme, was intercepted by two British frigates led by Captain Sir Edward Pellew and destroyed in a running action that cost the lives of over 1,000 Frenchmen.

In total, French losses were 12 ships captured or destroyed and over 2,000 men drowned. The Brest fleet was so badly damaged by the operation that they launched no major operations during 1797 and were unable to respond when the British fleet was paralysed by the Spithead Mutiny a few months later. A second French attempt to invade Ireland was launched in the summer of 1798, in response to the Irish Rebellion, but this too ended in disaster: all of the men landed were captured a few weeks later at the Battle of Ballinamuck. A third and final invasion effort was defeated and destroyed by a British squadron at the Battle of Tory Island in October 1798.

Order of battle

Notes

A. Sources vary on the exact number of French troops that eventually participated in the campaign. Pakenham gives 12,000, Clowes, James, Woodman and Henderson suggest 18,000 (although James quotes estimates between 16,200 and 25,000), while Regan and Come indicate approximately 20,000, although Come comments that they were of low quality.

Native Upmanship (foaled 1993) is a  former National Hunt racehorse. He was trained in Ireland by Arthur Moore and owned by John Magnier.

Early career
He made his racecourse debut in a National Hunt flat race in February 1998 at Gowran Park, where he finished third behind subsequent Champion Bumper winner Alexander Banquet. He had one more run that season in April, where stepped up on his debut, to win a National Hunt flat race at the Punchestown Festival.

1998/99 season
He reappeared in the 1998/99 season, where he made his seasonal debut in a Grade 3 Novice Hurdle at Navan in October, finishing fourth. His trainer stepped him up to the top level a month later for the Royal Bond Novice Hurdle, and Native Upmanship finished seventh of eight runners, behind Alexander Banquet. His next outing saw him dropped down considerably in a maiden hurdle, which he won. He then finished second in his next three runs, two of which were at Grade 2 level. In his final run of the season, Native Upmanship went to the Punchestown Festival, where he was sent off an 8/1 chance for the Land Rover Champion Novice Hurdle and won by 5 lengths.

1999/00 season
The 1999/00 season saw Native Upmanship go down the novice chase route. After winning a beginners chase at Navan in November, he won the Durkan New Homes Novice Chase, before another victory in the Dr P J Moriarty Memorial Novice Chase. He then went to the Cheltenham Festival, where he was sent off the 7/2 favourite for the RSA Chase and finished fourth. In his final appearance of the season, he won the Powers Gold Cup.

2000/01 season
Native Upmanship began the 2000/01 with two victories in the Fortria Chase and the John Durkan Memorial Chase. Following this, he was sent off the favourite for the Lexus Chase and finished a distant fourth behind Rince Ri. In his final two starts of the season, when pulled up in the Irish Hennessy Chase and fourth in the Gold Cup at Fairyhouse. These runs seemed to confirm the opinion that he didn't get the 3-mile trip.

2001/02 season
The 2001/02 season saw Native Upmanship finish second in his first three runs of the season, in the Fortria Chase, John Durkan Memorial Chase, and Lexus Chase. He then won the Kinloch Brae Chase in January 2002, before going to the Cheltenham Festival, where he finished second to Flagship Uberalles in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. In his next start, which was over a more adequate trip of 2 miles and 4 furlongs, he won the Melling Chase. In his final start of the season, his trainer again stepped him up to 3 miles plus, for the Punchestown Gold Cup, where he finished second to Florida Pearl.

2002/03 season
The 2002/03 season saw Native Upmanship follow a near identical path to the previous one. After finishing second in his seasonal debut at Naas, he won the John Durkan Memorial Chase again, before going to Kempton for the first time to contest the King George VI Chase, where he finished fifth to Best Mate. He then won his second successive Kinloch Brae Chase, before returning to the Cheltenham Festival, where he again finished second in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, this time behind Moscow Flyer. He returned to Aintree, where he won his second successive Melling Chase. He again finished the season contesting the Punchestown Gold Cup, where he finished third behind First Gold, seemingly failing to see out the trip again.

2003/04 season
The 2003/04 season saw Native Upmanship make his seasonal debut in the John Durkan Memorial Chase, where he finished fifth behind Beef Or Salmon. After winning the Kinloch Brae Chase again, he finished third in both the Newlands Chase and the Melling Chase. He completed the season with a fourth place behind Moscow Flyer in the Punchestown Champion Chase.

Final two seasons
Over the next two seasons, Native Upmanship continued to run in the top races in both Ireland and England, including the 2006 Grand National, but he won only one, in a Grade 3 race at Navan in April 2005. After finishing last of 6 runners in the 2006 Punchestown Gold Cup, he was retired.
