Huangfu Bo (皇甫鎛) (died 820) was a Chinese economist and politician. He served as an official of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Xianzong.  He was viewed by traditional historians as a wicked official who pleased Emperor Xianzong by submitting revenues for Emperor Xianzong's personal use and who used machinations to expel his colleagues Pei Du and Cui Qun from the imperial government.

Background
It is not known when Huangfu Bo was born, but it is known that his family was from Jing Prefecture (涇州, in modern Pingliang, Gansu) and traced its ancestry to the ducal house of the Spring and Autumn period state Song. According to his biography in the Old Book of Tang, both his grandfather Huangfu Linji (皇甫鄰幾) and father Huangfu Yu (皇甫愉) served as prefectural prefects, although according to the table of the chancellors' family trees in the New Book of Tang, both Huangfu Linji and Huangfu Yu were without offices.  He had at least one older brother, Huangfu Yong (皇甫鏞).

Early career
Early in the Zhenyuan era (785-805) of Emperor Dezong, Huangfu Bo passed the imperial examinations in the class of examinees considered of good character with literary talents.  He was thereafter made an imperial censor with the title Jiancha Yushi (監察御史).  He left government office when his mother died to observe a mourning period for her.  After the mourning period was over, he was set to return to governmental service but, as he was accused of having conducted tours when he was supposed to be mourning his mother, he was made a member of the staff of the household of the Crown Prince. He later became Libu Yuanwailang (吏部員外郎), a low-level official at the ministry of civil service affairs (吏部, Libu), in charge of selecting non-official-status government employees. He served in this capacity for three years, and it was said that he was capable in stopping inappropriate candidates from being selected. He was thereafter promoted to be Libu Langzhong (吏部郎中), a supervisorial official at the ministry of civil service affairs.

As Minister of Finance
As of 816, during the reign of Emperor Dezong's grandson Emperor Xianzong, Huangfu Bo was serving as the ministry of agriculture (司農卿, Sinong Qing), when he was given the additional titles of deputy chief imperial censor (御史中丞, Yushi Zhongcheng) and director of finances. This was said to be the start of Huangfu's use of his money-gathering skills to please Emperor Xianzong.  He was thereafter made deputy minister of census (戶部侍郎, Hubu Shilang) and continued to be the director of finances as well.  At that time, Emperor Xianzong was conducting a campaign against the warlord Wu Yuanji, who controlled Zhangyi Circuit (彰義, headquartered in modern Zhumadian, Henan), and much revenue was needed.  Huangfu was said to be harsh in his extraction of money. He drew Emperor Xianzong's favor and was also given the additional title of chief imperial censor (御史大夫, Yushi Daifu).  When Emperor Xianzong's close associate Zhang Su (張宿) resented the chancellors Cui Qun and Wang Ya for opposing his appointment as a high-level consultant, Zhang became allied with Huangfu as well, against the chancellors. Huangfu also ingratiated himself with the powerful eunuch Tutu Chengcui by offering Tutu bribes.

As chancellor
In 818, after Wu Yuanji was defeated, Emperor Xianzong was said to begin to be wasteful in his spending.  As both Huangfu Bo and the director of salt and iron monopolies Cheng Yi were considered capable in getting him revenues, he made both Huangfu and Cheng chancellors de facto with the title Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (同中書門下平章事), over the strenuous objections of Cui Qun and Pei Du. Pei, indeed, wrote a harshly worded objection that criticized Cheng but even more so Huangfu, and he requested to resign rather than to serve with them.  Emperor Xianzong did not accept Pei's resignation or his criticism of either Huangfu or Cheng.  Meanwhile, Huangfu was carrying out a scheme where the excess palace supplies were sold to the government in exchange for money at market value — even though the excess palace supplies were often of poor quality or had deteriorated such that they could no longer be used — so that the palace treasury (separate from the imperial government treasury) would be replenished at the expense of the government.  When Pei pointed this out to Emperor Xianzong, Huangfu pointed to his own boots and stated that he had himself bought the boots from the palace excess supplies, and that the boots were of high quality and durable.  Emperor Xianzong thus did not believe Pei. Huangfu also proposed that the salaries of the officials be reduced to enrich the treasury.  When the imperial attendant Cui Zhi (崔植) opposed this proposal, it was not carried out.

As, by this point, Emperor Xianzong favored alchemists who purportedly were capable of making medicines that brought immortality, Huangfu and another official, Li Daogu (李道古) recommended the alchemist Liu Mi (柳泌), who claimed to be able to make such medicines.  In 819, it was said that because of Huangfu's machinations that Pei was sent out of the capital to serve as the military governor (Jiedushi) of Hedong Circuit (河東, headquartered in modern Taiyuan, Shanxi). However, when he attacked the consultant Wu Ruheng (武儒衡), Emperor Xianzong, who knew that Wu Ruheng had frequently criticized Huangfu, did not act on Huangfu's accusations. It was said that because Huangfu passed the imperial examinations the same year as Linghu Chu, he recommended Linghu to be chancellor in 819 as well.

Later in 819, there was an occasion when Emperor Xianzong asked the chancellors why the reign of his ancestor Emperor Xuanzong started out well but ended in disaster.  Cui pointed out that initially, Emperor Xuanzong trusted such chancellors as Yao Chong, Song Jing, Lu Huaishen, Su Ting, Han Xiu, and Zhang Jiuling, but late in the reign trusted such chancellors as Yuwen Rong, Li Linfu, and Yang Guozhong, and that it was his poor selection of chancellors at the end that led to the disaster.  It was said that because this comment was viewed as directed at Huangfu, Huangfu much resented Cui for the comment. He struck back at Cui late in the year, as earlier in the year, the officials had offered Emperor Xianzong the honorary title of Emperor Yuanhe Shengwen Shenwu Fatian Yingdao (元和聖文神武法天應道皇帝).  Huangfu initially wanted two additional characters — Xiaode (孝德, "filial and virtuous").  Cui opined, "Sheng [(聖)] encompassed filial piety," and therefore did not include them. Huangfu thus told Emperor Xianzong, "Cui did not want Your Imperial Majesty to have the characters 'Xiaode.'"  At that time, the troops sent to the borders with Tufan were receiving supplies of poor quality and were so displeased that they were on the verge of mutiny — so much so that their commander, the general Li Guangyan, was so distressed to consider suicide.  Li Guangyan reported this to Emperor Xianzong, but Huangfu informed Emperor Xianzong that there was nothing wrong with the supplies and that it was Cui who encouraged the soldiers to complain.  Emperor Xianzong believed Huangfu, and around the new year 820, Cui was sent out of the capital to serve as the governor (觀察使, Guanchashi) of Hunan Circuit (湖南, headquartered in modern Changsha, Hunan).  It was said that because of this action, the people hated Huangfu.

Meanwhile, Liu, whom Emperor Xianzong had made the prefect of Tai Prefecture (台州, in modern Taizhou, Zhejiang) in hopes that he could find the proper ingredients for the immortality medicine in the mountains of Tai Prefecture, conscripted the people of Tai Prefecture to seek such ingredients, but for over a year was unsuccessful. He became fearful and fled into the mountains himself. The governor of Zhedong Circuit (浙東, headquartered in modern Shaoxing, Zhejiang), which Tai Prefecture belonged to, arrested him and delivered him to the capital Chang'an. Under the protection of Huangfu and Li Daogu, however, Emperor Xianzong continued to trust Liu and continued to take medications that he made.  The side effects of the medication caused Emperor Xianzong to become often thirsty and ill-tempered.

Downfall
In 820, Emperor Xianzong died and was succeeded by his son Emperor Muzong.  Emperor Muzong immediately exiled Huangfu Bo to be the census officer at Yai Prefecture (崖州, in modern Haikou, Hainan).  It was said that the people rejoiced at the news of Huangfu's exile. It was further said that Emperor Muzong was initially ready to kill Huangfu because he believed that Huangfu, like Tutu Chengcui, supported his brother Li Yun (李惲) the Prince of Li instead of him, but as new chancellor Xiao Mian, like Linghu Chu, passed the imperial examinations the same year as Huangfu and thus was friendly with him, interceded on his behalf, along with a number of eunuchs, and therefore Huangfu was spared.  Liu Mi and the Buddhist monk Datong (大通), whom Huangfu had also recommended, were caned to death.  Late in the year, news arrived from Yai Prefecture that Huangfu had died.

Shawn Andrew Kelley (born April 26, 1984) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Seattle Mariners from 2009 to 2012, New York Yankees from 2013 to 2014, San Diego Padres in 2015,  Washington Nationals from 2016 to 2018, the Oakland Athletics in 2018 and the Texas Rangers in 2019.

Kelley attended Ballard High School, and later Austin Peay State University. Kelley was drafted by the Mariners in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft. He made his professional debut in 2007, and later made his major league debut in 2009. Kelley bats and throws right-handed.

Amateur career

High school
Kelley attended Ballard High School in Louisville, Kentucky. As a pitcher for the school's baseball team, Kelley went 9–1 with a 1.12 earned run average (ERA), and 95 strikeouts in 74 innings pitched. He also batted .564 with seven home runs, and 21 stolen bases.

College
Kelley hoped to play college baseball for the University of Louisville, but they did not offer him a scholarship. Kelley accepted the only scholarship offer he received, from Austin Peay State University. In his first season, 2003, he was involved in no decisions with a 2.57 ERA in four games, one start. Kelley sustained an elbow injury in his first season and had Tommy John surgery, which ended his redshirt freshman season. During his freshman season in 2004, Kelley went 3–3 with a 3.45 ERA, and 51 strikeouts in 16 games, 10 starts. That season, he finished with the third lowest ERA in the Ohio Valley Conference. In his sophomore season in 2005, Kelley went 7–4 with a 3.59 ERA, one save, and 70 strikeouts in 17 games, 16 starts. That season, he was selected to the second-team All-Ohio Valley Conference.

In his junior season, Kelley went 5–6 with a 3.30 ERA, and 89 strikeouts in 18 games, 14 starts. His final season, 2007, Kelley went 11–3 with a 2.40 ERA, and 82 strikeouts in 17 games, 16 starts. On April 9, 2007, he was named the Ohio Valley Conference's Pitcher of the Week. He won his second Pitcher of the Week award on April 23. At the end of the 2007 season, Kelley was named to the second-team American Baseball Coaches All-South Region. On the academic side, Kelley received a bachelor's degree in political science.

Professional career

Seattle Mariners

2007–2008 seasons
Kelley was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 13 round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft. He began his professional career that season with the Class-A Short-Season Everett AquaSox. With the AquaSox, he went 1–0 with a 3.00 ERA, and four strikeouts in three games, all in relief. After his stint in Everett, Kelley was promoted to the Class-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. In his debut with the Timber Rattlers, Kelley attained the win after pitching two relief innings. In nine games with Wisconsin, Kelley went 1–1 with a 2.25 ERA, and 14 strikeouts. In 2008, Kelley split the season between the Class-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, the Class-A Advanced High Desert Mavericks, and the Double-A West Tenn Diamond Jaxx. With the Timber Rattlers, he was involved in no decisions, and record a 3.52 ERA with three saves, and 12 strikeouts in eight games. He was then promoted to the Mavericks where in 12 relief appearances he was involved in no decisions, gave-up no earned runs, saved three games, and struck-out 12. Finally, with the Diamond Jaxx, Kelley went 3–1 with a 2.11 ERA, nine saves, and 44 strikeouts in 29 games, all in relief. Kelley was tied for first among Diamond Jaxx pitchers in games finished (24), and was second in saves. At the end of the 2008 regular season, Kelley played in the Venezuelan Winter League.

2009 season
At the start of the 2009 season, Kelley was invited to Mariners' spring training as a non-roster invitee. During spring training, Mariners' manager Don Wakamatsu was reportedly impressed by Kelley's performance and was quoted as saying, "[Kelley's] stuff is outstanding. Very impressive." Kelley made the Mariners' 25-man roster after spring training. Kelley made his major league debut on April 10 against the Oakland Athletics and struck out two in one inning pitched. On May 1, Kelley picked up his first major league win in 1 innings pitched against the Oakland Athletics. On May 6, Kelley strained his left oblique and was placed on the 15-day disabled list. As a result, the Mariners called up pitcher Garrett Olson from the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers to replace Kelley on the 25-man roster. Kelley pitched three rehab games in the minor leagues. His first were with the rookie-level Arizona League Mariners, where he pitched two games, both starts, and gave up no earned runs. The last was with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, where he gave up no earned runs in one relief appearance. On June 3, the Mariners' activated Kelley from the disabled list, and as a result optioned first baseman Mike Carp to Triple-A Tacoma. On the season, Kelley went 5–4 with a 4.50 ERA, and 41 strikeouts in 41 games, all in relief for Seattle.

2010 season
On February 24, 2010, during spring training workouts, Kelley was injured after he was accidentally kicked in the chin by teammate Mark Lowe. The accident required Kelley to receive six stitches. Kelley made the Mariners' 25-man roster out of spring training for the second time in his career in 2010. On April 30, after pitcher Cliff Lee was activated from the disabled list, the Mariners optioned Kelley to the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers. However, on May 6, after Mark Lowe was placed on the disabled list, Kelley was recalled and placed on the Mariners' 25-man roster.

New York Yankees
The Mariners traded Kelley to the New York Yankees before the 2013 season for Abraham Almonte.  In the 2013 season, Kelley recorded 71 strikeouts in 53 innings pitched.

Kelley filled in for David Robertson as the Yankees' closer while Robertson was on the disabled list in April 2014.

On April 7, 2014, Kelley recorded his first career save. On May 5, 2014, Kelley was ejected for the first time in his MLB career by home plate umpire Laz Díaz for arguing balls and strikes. On May 13, 2014, Kelley was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a strained lumbar spine in his back.

San Diego Padres
On December 29, 2014, he was traded to the San Diego Padres in exchange for minor league pitcher Johnny Barbato.

Washington Nationals
On December 11, 2015, Kelley signed a three-year, $15 million contract with the Washington Nationals. Ticketed as the Nationals' primary setup man, Kelley filled in as closer while Jonathan Papelbon was on the disabled list in June 2016. Kelley generally excelled in the role of setup man, but he surrendered the runs that ultimately ended the Nationals' year, with Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner hitting an RBI triple to deep center field in Game 5 of the 2016 National League Division Series. Kelley was removed from the game during the next at-bat with arm discomfort.

During the 2017 season, Kelley was among the relievers manager Dusty Baker tried as closer, with Opening Day closer Blake Treinen being demoted due to ineffectiveness early in the season. Kelley himself lost the role by late May, with Baker moving rookie Koda Glover into the position due to Kelley's lack of durability. Kelley experienced dramatic increases in his rates of walks and home runs allowed over the first half of the season, landing on the disabled list twice (with a lower back strain in May and a right trapezius strain in June) as he struggled to a 7.00 ERA and 4.5 home run rate per nine innings. Those tendencies continued after he returned from the disabled list; by the time he suffered a season-ending elbow injury on September 22, he had allowed 12 home runs in 26 innings at the major league level and finished the year with a 7.27 ERA.

While still struggling with his home run rate and injury issues, Kelley enjoyed a rebound performance over the first half of the 2018 season, pitching to a 3.34 ERA through the month of July. On July 31, 2018, Kelley was called to pitch the ninth inning with the Nationals holding a 25–1 lead over the New York Mets. After allowing a two-run home run to Austin Jackson, Kelley angrily threw his glove to the ground and glared into the Nationals' dugout. On August 1, Kelley was designated for assignment by the Nationals, who called his outburst "selfish" and "disrespectful to the organization". Kelley said he "acted like a baby" but denied his intent was to show up manager Dave Martinez.

Oakland Athletics
On August 5, the Oakland Athletics acquired Kelley from the Nationals for an international signing bonus slot.

Texas Rangers
On January 29, 2019, Kelley signed a one-year contract with a club option, with the Texas Rangers. He became a free agent after the season.

On March 10, 2021, Kelley confirmed his retirement in a Twitter response to Tim Dillard, who had retired the same day.

Personal life
Kelley was born on April 26, 1984, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Dennis and Rhonda Kelley. Before making it to the major leagues, Kelley worked at a golf course during the winter to make money. Kelley has a younger brother, Justin.  Kelley has 4 children, two sons and one daughter. He is married to Kristina Kelley. On May 16, 2019, he underwent surgery to remove two lumps from his vocal cords, which tested as benign.

Samuel Matthews Vauclain (May 18, 1856 – February 4, 1940) was an American engineer, inventor of the Vauclain compound locomotive, and president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works.  He was awarded the John Scott Award and the Elliott Cresson Medal by The Franklin Institute in 1891. He was also awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for arming the United States Army during World War I.

Railroads
Vauclain served an apprenticeship in the machine shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad.  When he was 24, he was sent to inspect locomotives at the Baldwin Locomotive Works.  In those days, machining was a manual job with the machining done by hammers, files and chisels with the men's own hands. Vauclain's hands were left in a permanent clutching position from endless hours of chipping and filing metal. He became general foreman of Baldwin's 17th Street Shops in 1883, and quickly moved up through the company, as plant superintendent in 1886, then general superintendent.  He joined the board of directors in 1896, became vice-president in 1911, senior vice-president in 1917, president from 1919 to 1929, and chairman of the board from then until his death.  He was awarded the Elliott Cresson Medal by The Franklin Institute in 1891. At the same time, the Franklin Institute selected Vauclain for the John Scott Award funded by the City of Philadelphia.

He helped professor Thomas Garrigue Masaryk legions especially in Russia in 1918.

Personal life
Samuel Vauclain was born in Port Richmond, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Andrew Constant Vauclain and Mary Ann Campbell Vauclain.  In 1879, he married Annie Kearney; they had six children.

Vauclain was a Republican, and served as a delegate from Pennsylvania's 7th District to the 1920 Republican National Convention, which nominated Warren G. Harding for president.

In 1923, he and several Baldwin officials took a trip around the Middle West in which he gave eight speeches in eight different cities.
Vauclain died following a heart attack, in Broadlawn, his home at Rosemont, Pennsylvania.

The Columbia Journal of European Law was established in 1994 and is one of the few legal publications in the United States devoted exclusively to European law. It currently ranks among the top five foreign and civil law journals in the US and is the most cited journal of European legal scholarship worldwide.
The journal is published under the auspices of the European Legal Studies Center at Columbia Law School. Columbia students are entirely responsible for CJEL’s publication. Close collaboration is kept with the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, which keeps the journal abreast of recent developments in the case law of the European Court of Justice. CJEL publishes three issues per year—Winter, Spring, and Summer—and contains articles exploring every dimension of European law in its broadest sense. This includes the law of the European Union and law at the national or regional levels, as well as jurisprudential questions relevant to the development of law and legal institutions in Europe. Its articles cover a range of issues and are authored by leading academics and practitioners. Many articles are comparative in nature and directly relevant to the United States.

Every CJEL article is cataloged and archived on its website, although only the introduction or abstract is available online. Full articles are available in the print version, as well as on Westlaw, LexisNexis, and HeinOnline.

Online Supplement
In April 2009, CJEL launched an online edition to supplement the print journal. This online supplement is available on the journal’s website in its entirety. Because of the space and time limitations inherent in print publications, the online supplement was intended to allow a more rapid exploration of important case law and legislative developments, in order to reflect the ever-increasing pace of the dissemination of legal information in the modern era. Although the majority of the articles published online are produced by post-graduate legal students at Columbia Law School, the journal actively seeks submissions from outside of the school.

In 2015, CJEL introduced its online blog, Preliminary Reference.

Merger with the Columbia Journal of East European Law
In Spring 2009 CJEL absorbed the Columbia Journal of East European Law, and starting with its Fall 2009 issue will publish an article on East European law in each issue. The Editorial Boards of each journal believed that such a merger would best reflect the rapid eastward expansion of the European Union, which has added 12 Central and East European nations in the past five years, as well as the growth of other transnational organizations, such as the Council of Europe.

In differential geometry the Hitchin–Thorpe inequality is a relation which restricts the topology of 4-manifolds that carry an Einstein metric.

Statement of the Hitchin–Thorpe inequality
Let M be a closed, oriented, four-dimensional smooth manifold.  If there exists a Riemannian metric on M which is an Einstein metric, then

where  is the Euler characteristic of  and  is the signature of .

This inequality was first stated by John Thorpe in a footnote to a 1969 paper focusing on manifolds of higher dimension.  Nigel Hitchin then rediscovered the inequality, and gave a complete characterization of the equality case in 1974; he found that if  is an Einstein manifold for which equality in the Hitchin-Thorpe inequality is obtained, then the Ricci curvature of  is zero; if the sectional curvature is not identically equal to zero, then  is a Calabi–Yau manifold whose universal cover is a K3 surface.

Already in 1961, Marcel Berger showed that the Euler characteristic is always non-negative.

Proof
Let  be a four-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold which is Einstein. Given any point  of , there exists a -orthonormal basis  of the tangent space  such that the curvature operator , which is a symmetric linear map of  into itself, has matrix

relative to the basis . One has that  is zero and that  is one-fourth of the scalar curvature of  at . Furthermore, under the conditions  and , each of these six functions is uniquely determined and defines a continuous real-valued function on .

According to Chern-Weil theory, if  is oriented then the Euler characteristic and signature of  can be computed by

Equipped with these tools, the Hitchin-Thorpe inequality amounts to the elementary observation

Failure of the converse
A natural question to ask is whether the Hitchin–Thorpe inequality provides a sufficient condition for the existence of Einstein metrics.  In 1995, Claude LeBrun and
Andrea Sambusetti  independently showed that the answer is no:  there exist infinitely many non-homeomorphic compact, smooth, oriented 4-manifolds  that carry no Einstein metrics but nevertheless satisfy

LeBrun's examples are actually simply connected, and the relevant obstruction depends on the smooth structure of the manifold. By contrast,  Sambusetti's obstruction  only applies to 4-manifolds with infinite fundamental group, but the volume-entropy estimate he uses to prove non-existence  only depends on the homotopy type of the manifold.

The Glenmere mansion is a luxury hotel and spa overlooking Glenmere Lake, approximately 50 miles northwest of New York City in Orange County, New York. It was built in 1911 as the residence of real estate developer Robert Wilson Goelet (not to be confused with his first cousin, Robert Walton Goelet) on the grounds of his sprawling estate in Sugar Loaf, a hamlet of the town of Chester.

History

Robert Wilson Goelet (1880–1966), the only son of Ogden Goelet, commissioned the architects Carrère and Hastings to design a country villa in 1911. It was designed in a Tuscan style because Goelet's wife, the former Miss Elsie Whelen of Philadelphia, had always wanted to live in an Italian villa. The house features a central courtyard with an Italian marble fountain, and ochre-colored stucco walls. Beatrix Farrand was hired to landscape the grounds, and Samuel Yellin did the ironwork for the house.

In addition to their horses, Goelet and his wife were breeders of Highland Terriers and Great Danes, and they maintained extensive kennels. Soon, the estate and its storied hunting grounds became a regular haunt of Babe Ruth, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

Goelet hosted numerous sporting-set events at the estate, including equine ice-racing. The younger of Goelet's two sons, Peter, began radio station WGNY on the grounds of the mansion in 1930.

Glenmere was sold to Abraham Prusoff during World War II. He transformed the private mansion into a resort hotel with upscale amenities, including a golf course, ski run, and tennis courts. By the 1960s, Prusoff found it increasingly difficult to keep the resort's finances in order. In the next decade, the mansion and estate were seized by Orange County as a tax lien. In 1985, the mansion and estate were purchased at a tax auction by real estate magnate Rickey Mandel.

Current use
The mansion changed hands again in 2007, becoming a luxury 19-room hotel, restaurant, and spa, after undergoing an extensive and costly renovation. In 2008, the restoration project was temporarily halted over concern for the endangered Northern cricket frog.

In 2010, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation again halted the construction when it became apparent that the developers were operating without the required permits and endangering the Northern cricket frog and plant life in the area. The mansion's developers were fined and cited by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation for violations of having improper paperwork with regard to the impact of construction on the endangered Northern cricket frog. Studies found no frog habitats on the property, and the mansion was made into a luxury hotel whose amenities include a luxury penthouse costing $3,400 a night.

George John (born March 20, 1987) is a former American soccer player.

Youth and college soccer
John was born and raised in Shoreline, Washington.
George played youth soccer for Emerald City FC in Seattle.  He was later the team captain of his youth club leading the Crossfire Premier to an U-18 Premier I Division Championship and a U-18 Washington State Championship. In 2011, John was inducted into the inaugural class of the Crossfire Premier Hall of Fame, along with fellow professional soccer players Ellis McLoughlin and Preston Zimmerman. John also played soccer for Shorewood High School where he was team captain and a 2004 NSCAA High School Adidas All-American honoree. John's jersey (#11) was retired by the school during a ceremony in 2011.

John played college soccer at the University of Washington, leading the Huskies to back-to-back trips to the second round of the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament in 2006 and 2007. Among other honors he received, he was selected as a two-time first-team All-Pac-10 selection, a two-time first-team NSCAA Scholar All-American, and was the 2008 Pac-10 Soccer Scholar Athlete of the Year.

Professional career

FC Dallas
John was drafted in the first round (14th overall) by FC Dallas in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. He made his professional debut on 4 April 2009, in a game against the New England Revolution.

In the 2010 MLS season, John started 25 of 30 regular season games, and helped Dallas set a franchise-best goals against average of 0.93.  Dallas qualified for the 2010 MLS Cup Playoffs, and reached the MLS Cup, losing to the Colorado Rapids off of an Extra Time own goal scored by John. In August 2011 English Premier League team Blackburn Rovers bid £1.2 million  to sign John. The player was keen to make the move, but the transfer fell through.

West Ham United
On January 13, 2012, John signed a two-month loan deal with English Championship side West Ham United . The deal included an option to make the transfer permanent. John scored in his first game for The Hammers, a reserve match against Gillingham. However, he was unable to displace West Ham's regular starting center backs and returned to Dallas at the end of his loan having made zero appearances for West Ham's first team.

Return to FC Dallas
On March 2, 2012, John returned to FC Dallas having not played a single senior game for The Hammers. West Ham decided not to pick up their option to make the move permanent. John played 24 regular-season matches for FC Dallas in 2013 and scored two goals. He was named to the MLS all-star team's inactive list on July 31, 2013. John spent the entire 2014 on injured reserve before being selected by New York City FC in the 2014 expansion draft on Dec. 10.

Bottle Gate
A beer bottle struck FC Dallas defender George John in the head moments after he scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal against the L.A. Galaxy. MLSSoccer reports the bottle was thrown by a fan sitting in the north end at FC Dallas Stadium, which is where some of the club's most vocal and boisterous supporters enjoy FC Dallas' home games. John, 26, headed home the game's only goal in the 87th minute, but he barely had time to celebrate. The bottle hit him as he took his first steps out of the Galaxy goal, and he fell straight to the ground. "I knew something hit me," John said. "I wasn't quite sure what happened, if I ran into the post or what, but then I looked down and saw a beer bottle and I was like that had to have hit me. I felt [my head] and there was a ridge and then I was like 'Yes, something hit me for sure.' Luckily I didn't need stitches and I was able to stay in and finish out the game." FC Dallas has identified the person who threw the bottle, and that fan was reportedly arrested. "It is always unacceptable to throw anything onto the field of play because it endangers the safety of all players and personnel," a club statement said. "In this specific incident, we have identified the individual and we are proceeding according to protocol with FC Dallas Stadium, security, Frisco Police and Major League Soccer." The cut John suffered required staples to close, according to the Dallas Morning News. He had problems with concussions in the past, but he was reportedly in good health and spirits after the game.

New York City FC
Selected by New York City FC in the 2014 MLS Expansion Draft on December 10, 2014. Despite appearing to have been signed by the club, going as far as to appear on the club roster and in the club media guide, John was never officially signed by New York City FC.

International
George was eligible to play for both the United States and Greece, and has been called up to train with both squads. In September 2013 he stated in a Greek sports site that his desire is to play for the Greece national team and that he has informed the Greek Football Federation that he is available to play for the team.

The Omaha Mavericks Men's Ice Hockey team, also called the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks and UNO Mavericks, is a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college ice hockey program that represents the University of Nebraska Omaha. The Mavericks are a member of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC). They play home games at Baxter Arena, an on-campus facility that opened in 2015. The Mavericks hockey program was started in 1997; the team has qualified for the NCAA tournament on four occasions, in 2006, 2011, 2015, and 2021. During the 2015 tournament, the team made their first appearance in the tournament semifinals, branded by the NCAA as the Frozen Four. The Mavericks competed in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) between 1999 and 2010 before joining the WCHA for the 2010–11 season.
The Mavericks joined the National Collegiate Hockey Conference starting in the 2013–14 season along with fellow charter members Colorado College, the University of Denver, Miami University, the University of Minnesota Duluth, and the University of North Dakota, plus invited founding members St. Cloud State University and Western Michigan University.

History

Early history (1995–1999)
In June 1995, the University of Nebraska Omaha began talks with local hockey supporters on the feasibility of a varsity men's ice hockey program. Shortly thereafter, the school re-hired long-time Athletic Director Don Leahy. Leahy returned to the school after a ten-year absence to start the hockey program. On May 1, 1996, the university announced that they would add a varsity men's ice hockey team for the 1997–98 season. Although the school was a Division II team in all other sports, UNO joined Division I for ice hockey. Season tickets went on sale shortly thereafter. By May 16 of that year, the university capped season ticket sales at 6,389 just two weeks after the university announced the creation of the team. The Omaha City Council, encouraged by the support for the Mavericks, approved an ice sheet for the Omaha Civic Auditorium shortly thereafter.

On June 26, 1996, Leahy hired Mike Kemp to be the first Maverick hockey coach. Kemp had spent the previous 14 years as an assistant and head recruiter for the University of Wisconsin, helping them to nine NCAA tournament appearances and a national championship in 1990. It was a return to Omaha for Kemp, who was the head coach for UNO's club hockey team in its brief existence in 1975 and 1976. Kemp hired former NHL first round draft choice David Quinn as his top assistant and head recruiter, and set about recruiting a team for the 1997 season. They establish the school's first Division I men's ice hockey program, which began playing during the 1997–98 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season.

UNO played its first season as an Independent in 1997-98. On October 17, 1997, a sellout crowd at the Civic Auditorium saw the team for the first time in a 3–2 exhibition loss to the University of Manitoba. Despite a midseason ten-game losing streak, the Mavericks finished with an encouraging 12–18–3 record. The Mavericks earned a surprising sweep over traditional powerhouse Denver and a 4–3 road victory over Maine, a night after losing 11–0. The team sold out all 19 of their home games to finish second in the NCAA in attendance. Following UNO's first season, the Mavericks made the somewhat surprising decision to apply for membership to the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Many expected the school to seek admission to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, as the conference was a better geographic fit and included UNO's Division II North Central Conference rivals Minnesota State, North Dakota, and St. Cloud State. However, the school was intrigued by matchups against big-name foes like Michigan, Ohio State, and Notre Dame, and was accepted into the CCHA on June 24, 1998. UNO would become a full member of the conference starting with the 1999–2000 season. The Mavericks struggled in their second season as an independent, starting the season 2–18–0 en route to an 11–24–0 record. UNO won only one of seven games against future CCHA opponents, a 6–1 victory over Bowling Green. Despite the poor record, the school once again sold out all of its home games, finishing third in the NCAA in home attendance.

CCHA years (1999–2009)
UNO surprised many in the 1999–2000 season, its first in the CCHA.  The team finished with a 10–12–6 record in the conference, good for seventh in the conference and a berth in the CCHA tournament.  The Mavericks took the best-of-three first-round series at fourth-seeded Northern Michigan. In other first-round action, eighth-seeded Bowling Green upset Lake Superior State; the Falcons' victory meant that the Civic Auditorium would host a one-game playoff for the right to go to the CCHA Final Four. In front of a sellout raucous home crowd, the Mavericks won 3–1 in a game that became known in Maverick lore as simply "Tuesday Night".  The Mavericks kept the Cinderella run alive at the Final Four, as they stunned top-seeded Michigan 7–4 in front of a pro-Michigan crowd at Joe Louis Arena.  UNO entered the tournament final against Michigan State one game away from qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in their first year as a CCHA member.  After the teams entered the first intermission scoreless, the Spartans scored three goals over a 5:29 span in the second period to break the game open en route to a 6–0 victory.

On the heels of their surprising run at the 2000 CCHA Tournament, the Mavericks began the season ranked number 13 in the USCHO.com Poll and number 14 in the USA Today poll, the first time the Mavericks had been nationally ranked in their short history.  The Mavericks hosted the Maverick Stampede for the first time that year, a four-team season opening tournament that has been held in each year since 2000.  The UNO topped Niagara in the tournament before falling to 4th-ranked Boston College in the final.  Perhaps as a result of heightened expectations, the Mavericks struggled early in the season, falling to a season worst 6–8–0 at the end of November.  The team eventually put things together, finishing with the school's first winning record at 24–15–3.  After falling out of both polls by midseason, the Mavericks were ranked #13 in the final USCHO.com and USA Today polls, although they again came up just short of the then-12 team NCAA Tournament.  The 24 victories are still a Maverick record for a single season.  Sophomore David Brisson tallied 22 goals and 47 points, shattering the team record in both categories that he had set a year earlier (17, 32).  Following the season, future NHL'er Greg Zanon became the first Mav to be named an All-American, when the ACHA named him to their All-America Second Team.

The 2001–02 season was a mixture of success and disappointment for UNO. For the second consecutive year, UNO posted more than 20 wins, finishing 21–16–4. Zanon again was named second-team All-America; he was joined on the team by Jeff Hoggan, who topped Brisson's school record with 24 goals. However, the team again failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, a disappointment given that the team had been ranked as high as #5 in both major polls early in the season and returned its top four points scorers and future NHL goaltender Dan Ellis from the previous season's 24-win team.

The Mavericks were unable to build on the consecutive winning seasons in the following years.  In 2002–03, the team was within striking distance of a third consecutive winning season before limping to a 13–22–5 record after going winless in their last eight games.  The 2002–03 would be the last in which UNO was a full-time tenant of the Civic Auditorium after selling out all 131 games that they played in the arena.  Following the season, they would move to the newly constructed 14,700-seat Qwest Center Omaha. The following season, 2003–04, was the Mavericks' worst to date, as a young UNO team finished last in the conference with an 8–26–5 record.  Despite this, the Mavericks continued to draw fans; although the team was unable to sell out the new arena, they finished fourth in the NCAA in attendance. The Mavericks rebounded the following season to finish 19–16–4. The team was led by a promising set of young players. Sophomore Scott Parse tallied a team-high 49 points, and freshman Bill Thomas added 45 more.  Following the season, Thomas was named CCHA Freshman of the Year and Kemp was named CCHA Coach of the Year, the first two major awards in the program's history.

The 2005–06 season was UNO's most successful to date.  The team used a ten-game unbeaten streak in January and February to finish 20–12–6 to earn their first ever berth in the NCAA Tournament.  Parse set team records with 41 assists and 61 points and was UNO's first Hobey Baker Award finalist.  Following the season, Parse became the first Maverick selected as a first-team All-American and Conference Player of the Year. Thomas scored a team-record 27 goals, combining with Parse to form the most potent first line in UNO history.  The two helped the Mavericks to 141 goals, the most in the CCHA.  The team struggled defensively after last year's goaltender Chris Holt signed with the New York Rangers in the offseason.  Walk-on freshman Jerad Kaufmann – the third-string goalie at the beginning of the season – eventually laid claim to the job.  UNO's inexperience eventually got the best of the team, as they were dominated by Boston University in a 9–2 loss in the first round of the NCAA tournament.  The Terriers broke open a 1–1 game with a six-goal second period to end UNO's first NCAA Tournament appearance. Once again, the Mavericks could not build on their successes in the following seasons, as they finished in the middle of the pack each year in the conference.  The squad finished two games over .500 in 2006–07, followed by finishing two games under .500 for the next two seasons.  In 2008–09, the team started out 12–4–3 – the best start in school history – before collapsing down the stretch and winning only three of their last 21 games.

WCHA years (2010–2013)
The disappointing 2008–09 season led many to speculate about the future of the program.  On April 29, 2009, UNO hired former University of Nebraska linebacker Trev Alberts as Athletic Director.  Alberts immediately began overhauling the hockey program.  Kemp had one year remaining on his contract as coach and had little chance for an extension following the team's failure to build on the success of the 2006 NCAA Tournament team.  Not willing to let go of the only coach the program had ever had, Alberts promoted Kemp to Associate Athletic Director and placed him in charge of the hockey program.  Shortly thereafter, Alberts made a huge splash by hiring former North Dakota coaching great Dean Blais as head coach.  With Blais on board, observers quickly began speculating that UNO would join the WCHA.  With the men's side of College Hockey America breaking up following the 2009–10 season, Bemidji State submitted an application to be the WCHA's 11th member.  The WCHA made it clear that they would only consider expansion in even numbers; rumors circulated that the conference coveted UNO.  Within ten days of Blais's hiring, speculation was put to rest as the WCHA announced on June 23 that UNO (along with Bemidji State) would join the league for the 2010–11 season. The Mavericks once again finished in the middle of the conference in their final season in the CCHA, although they did finish with 20 wins for only the third time in school history, with a 20–16–6 record.  The team struggled early in the season before finishing strong in Blais's first season with the team, finishing the regular season 10–3–1 over their last fourteen games before being stopped by Ferris State in the CCHA playoffs.

UNO joined the WCHA as a full-time member starting with the 2010–11 season.  The Mavericks started the season on a positive note, as they stunned Minnesota with a two-game sweep at Mariucci Arena in their first ever conference battle. UNO continued its hot start through the beginning of November by winning seven of their first eight games.  The team was ranked #6 and #7 in the two major polls, their highest ranking since 2001. The Mavericks ended the regular season 3rd in the WCHA with a conference record of 17-9-2 and advanced to their first ever WCHA Tournament before being upset with a two-game sweep in the first round by 10th seeded Bemidji State. Despite the loss the Mavericks qualified for the 2011 NCAA Tournament ranked 14th in the National Pairwise rankings. UNO received a 3rd seed in the West Regional, located in St. Louis, Missouri and played 2nd seeded Michigan in the first round. The first period ended with UNO up 2-0 but the Wolverines rallied in the second period and both teams went scoreless in the third, sending the game to overtime. The Mavericks' season came to an end 2:35 into overtime after a shot off a faceoff by and rebound goal by Wolverine sophomore, Kevin Lynch, followed by a ten-minute review to confirm the goal.

Arenas

 Omaha Civic Auditorium (1997–2003)
 CenturyLink Center Omaha (2003–2015)
 Baxter Arena (2015–present)

UNO played at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in its first six years of existence (1997–2003). The school capped season ticket sales at just below 6,400 tickets within two weeks after the program's inception was announced in May 1996.  The Mavericks eventually sold out the 8,314-seat arena 131 consecutive times between October 1997 and March 2003.  Following the 2002–03 season, the team moved to what was then known as Qwest Center Omaha; in many of the Mavericks' 13 seasons at that arena, the Mavericks played one series in February at the Civic Auditorium when the Qwest Center hosted the Nebraska State High School Wrestling tournament.

Beginning in the 2003–04 season, the Mavericks played at the newly constructed 14,700-seat Qwest Center Omaha, now known as CenturyLink Center Omaha.  The sleek, new modern arena immediately received rave reviews; one reporter dubbed the arena "the Omaha Civic Auditorium on steroids."  Still, many fans were turned off by the new arena, complaining that the giant structure was not as intimate as the Civic Auditorium.  Although UNO's hockey administration initially expected attendance to average about 11,000 fans, an average of only 8,184 fans filled the arena in the poor 2003–04 season.  This number was still the fourth highest figure in the NCAA, but was actually down slightly from the average at the much smaller Civic Auditorium.  Still, the modern arena became an important recruiting tool for the Mavericks coaching staff.  Some of the team's best recruiting classes came in the years immediately following the move to the new arena, eventually helping the team to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 2006. In the years following the first season at the CenturyLink Center, attendance averaged between 5,500 and 6,900 per game, finishing in the top eleven in the NCAA each year, but never meeting initial attendance expectations.

The school had a lease at the CenturyLink Center through the 2012–13 season.  By that time, athletic director Trev Alberts had been drumming up support for a new arena because of the unfavorable lease at the CenturyLink Center; the school lost $150,000 as part of the deal in 2008–09 after turning a $1 million profit in its last year at the Civic Auditorium in 2002–03. Rumors circulated that UNO planned to build an on-campus arena that seats between 7,000 and 8,000 fans.  At the WCHA preseason media day in October 2010, coach Dean Blais told media members that the school hoped to break ground on an on-campus arena at some point in 2011.

The arena plans did not materialize until 2013, when the University of Nebraska system approved the construction of a venue that was known during its planning and initial construction stages as UNO Community Arena. The new facility, which holds slightly under 7,900 and also includes a dedicated practice facility, opened in October 2015 as Baxter Arena.

Coaches

The Mavericks were coached by Mike Kemp between the program's inception in 1997 and 2009.  Prior to the 1997 season, Kemp served as an assistant coach for 14 years at Wisconsin.  In his only previous head coaching stint, Kemp was the coach of the UNO club hockey team during its brief existence in 1975 and 1976.  Kemp is credited with helping build the nascent program over his tenure, and eventually led the team to its only NCAA Tournament appearance to date in 2006.  After the 2004–05 season, he was named CCHA Coach of the Year.  He was named Associate Athletic Director for UNO following the 2009 season.

Dean Blais was hired in June 2009 to replace Mike Kemp on the UNO bench. Blais is best known as the former head coach at North Dakota from 1994 through 2004, where he won two national titles (1997 and 2000).  Blais also served as assistant coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets from 2004 to 2007, and later as head coach and GM of the Fargo Force (USHL) from 2007 to 2009. During his first season at UNO, Blais also served as head coach of the gold medal winning USA team at the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. During his second season at UNO, Blais was named WCHA Coach of the Year.  Blais retired at the end of the 2016-17 season.

The Mavericks are currently coached by former Omaha Hockey player Mike Gabinet, who is in his 4th season as head coach.

Ulysse Trélat (13 August 1828, Paris – 28 March 1890) was a French surgeon remembered for describing the Leser–Trélat sign.

He was the son of an Army physician, also named Ulysse Trélat (1795–1879). He received his education from his father, from Philippe-Frédéric Blandin, Auguste Nélaton and Philibert Joseph Roux. He graduated Doctor of Medicine in 1854, became prosector in 1855 and agrégé in 1857. He became surgeon in 1860, chief of surgery at Paris Maternité in 1864 and professor of clinical surgery at the Hôpital Necker.

With military physician Anacharsis Baizeau (1821–1910), the eponymous "Baizeau and Trélat's method" is named, which is a surgical procedure for repair of a clefted soft palate. With surgeon Pierre Delbet (1861–1925), he published Clinique chirurgicale (1891).

α-Methylserotonin (αMS), also known as α-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (α-methyl-5-HT) or 5-hydroxy-α-methyltryptamine (5-HO-αMT), is a tryptamine derivative closely related to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). It acts as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and has been used extensively in scientific research to study the function of the serotonin system.

Unlike serotonin, αMS is not metabolized by monoamine oxidase on account of the α-methyl substituent blocking the enzyme's access to the amine. As a result, it has a much longer half-life in comparison. Similarly to serotonin however, αMS poorly crosses the blood-brain-barrier due to its free hydroxyl group, and thus has only weak or no central effects when administered peripherally.

α-Methyltryptophan (αMTP) is a prodrug to αMS which does cross the blood-brain-barrier and thus efficiently delivers αMS into the central nervous system. As a result, αMTP acts as an orally bioavailable false or substitute neurotransmitter for serotonin, and has been suggested as a possible therapeutic agent in the treatment of disorders where serotonin is deficient. The O-methylated analogue of αMS, 5-MeO-αMT, also readily enters the brain and could be used for this purpose as well.

Legal status

United States
5-Hydroxy-alpha-methyltryptamine is not scheduled at the federal level in the United States, but it could be considered an analog of alpha-methyltryptamine (AMT), in which case, purchase, sales, or possession could be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act.

Florida
5-Hydroxy-alpha-methyltryptamine is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in Florida.

Pomona is a ghost town in southern Namibia south of Lüderitz on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is about 15 km south of Elizabeth Bay, Namibia, in an area called Sperrgebiet, a diamond mining zone with restricted access.

Around 1910, at the time of the diamond rush in German South West Africa, diamonds in the Pomona area were so plentiful that they could be picked up from the ground with bare hands. Pomona boasted the richest diamond mine of its time, generating over  between 1912 and 1914.

History
Mining in the Pomona area started in the 1860s. After the discovery of guano deposits, the British annexed a number of islands off the coast of south-western Africa. This action led adventurers and traders into the area. Two of these, Aaron de Pass and Captain John Spence, obtained mining rights from Chief David Christian along the coast between the shore and 15°50’ longitude. Together they established the Pomona Mining Company and unsuccessfully tried to extract copper, lead and silver. It later appeared they must have shoveled the diamonds away to get access to the ore deposits.

After the first diamond was found in April 1908 by August Stauch near Grasplatz station, a diamond rush was triggered in German South West Africa. As prospectors moved southwards, Stauch and Professor Robert Scheibe from the Royal Mining Academy of Berlin discovered rich alluvial deposits in this area, leading to the establishment of a mining settlement which was originally called Pomonapforte (Pomona port), as it was placed at the entrance point to several valleys, all of which have been named after the two prospectors and their immediate families: Idatal (Ida's valley), after Stauch's wife Ida, Barbaratal and Mariannental, after Stauch's daughters, Stauchlager (Stauch's settlement), and Scheibetal (Scheibe's valley).

The older mining rights held by the Pomona Mining Company were both a blessing and a curse. The German Government of the time started protecting the area only six months after the diamond discoveries, declaring the Sperrgebiet (forbidden zone), a gigantic strip of land 100 km wide, and ranging from 45 km north of Lüderitz all the way to the Orange River. The mining rights for this area reverted to Deutsche Diamantengesellschaft (German Diamond Corporation) but excluded existing claims and the older rights of de Pass and Spence. Therefore, the Pomona area was the only place to set up new claims, and after extensive legal struggle official diamond mining started in 1912 under the auspices of the Pomona Diamanten Gesellschaft (Pomona Diamond Corporation). This mine soon extracted an average of  per month.

The First World War ended all individual mining activities; South Africa soon defeated Germany on South West African terrain and took over the Sperrgebiet. De Beers became the owner of the mines; it kept control of the area until the 1990s, when the Namibian government purchased a fifty percent stake, forming a joint partnership called the Namdeb Diamond Corporation.

Silver selenite is an inorganic compound of formula Ag2SeO3.

Production
Silver selenite is formed during the recovery of selenium from copper anode slimes when they are subjected to oxidative roasting, causing some silver selenide to be converted to the selenite. It can also be prepared by a precipitation reaction between silver nitrate and sodium selenite:

Another method is the reaction between selenium and silver nitrate:

3 Se + 6 AgNO3 + 3 H2O → 2 Ag2Se + Ag2SeO3 + 6 HNO3

Highway 396 (AR 396 or Hwy. 396) is a former state highway near Burlington in Boone County. Between its designation as a state highway in 1973 and its decommissioning to the county road system in 2016, it was maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT).

Route description
The ArDOT maintained Highway 396 like all other parts of the state highway system. As a part of these responsibilities, the Department tracks the volume of traffic using its roads in surveys using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). ArDOT estimates the traffic level for a segment of roadway for any average day of the year in these surveys. AADT was estimated at 180 vehicles per day at the eastern terminus in 2016. For reference, roads under 400 VPD are classified as very low volume local road by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).

No segment of Highway 396 was part of the National Highway System (NHS), a network of roads important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

Highway 396 ran in the Ozark Mountains, beginning at a junction with US Highway 65 (US 65) north of Burlington, an unincorporated community in northern Boone County  south of the Missouri state line. Highway 396 ran west from this junction  through a rural area of undulating hills to an intersection with Flint Hill School Road, where state maintenance ended. The roadway continued west under county maintenance as Ursey Road.

History
In 1973, the Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 9 of 1973. The act directed county judges and legislators to designate up to  of county roads as state highways in each county. Pursuant to the act, the Arkansas State Highway Commission designated a county road in Boone County as Highway 396 on April 25, 1973.

The highway was returned to local maintenance in November 2016. The Highway Commission utilized a policy that allows returning state highways to local control to offset the costs of non-reimbursable utility relocation where small water utilities do not have the necessary funds to relocate their lines along important highway projects. Boone County assumed maintenance of Highway 396 following verification that the Valley Springs Water Association and the Western Grove Water Association would not be able to afford relocation of their water mains along US 65, which was widened under the Connecting Arkansas Program.

He received several Screen Actors Guild Awards for his performance. He has also appeared in numerous other television shows and movies—both as himself and other characters—before, during, and after the show's run, such as Epic Movie, Endgame, El Americano: The Movie, and Nickelodeon's The Substitute and Unfiltered.

Early life
Rodriguez was born in Bryan, Texas, the son of Diane and Roy Rodriguez, who owned Rodriguez Tire Service. His siblings are brothers Ray and Roy Jr. and sister Raini Rodriguez, who is an actress. He is of Mexican descent.

At age nine, he played a character in Cory in the House. He later had guest appearances on the series ER, iCarly, Nip/Tuck, and My Name is Earl. In 2007, he appeared in the comedy film Epic Movie as the character Chanchito. The movie earned a score of 2% on Rotten Tomatoes, from 66 reviews. Jamie Russell of the BBC referred to it as "the most excruciating, unfunny film you'll see this year...if not your entire lifetime".

In September 2009, he began playing Manny Delgado in Modern Family. His role was said to be "crazy hard" to cast by co-creator Steve Levitan. In 2010, he said he is sometimes nothing like Manny, although he also named some similarities between them. Later, in 2016, Rodriguez said he had "grown into the character", finding more in common with him. For the role, Rodriguez and the cast of Modern Family were nominated eight times for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, winning four times.

The same year Modern Family was released, he also appeared in a season six episode of NCIS as Travis, a boy who discovers a gun and dead body. He wrote a book that was published in November 2012, titled Reel Life Lessons... So Far. Among other things, he discusses what it was like having Sofía Vergara as his character's mother on Modern Family, writing that she treats him like he were her own son.

In 2015, Rodriguez played the character of Jose in Endgame, a coming-of-age film about a Mexican middle-schooler who joins a chess team. It received a score of 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on eight reviews. Rodriguez later voiced a character named Raha in The Lion Guard, part of The Lion King franchise, which ran from 2016 to 2019. The show's cast also included Modern Family co-star Sarah Hyland. In 2016, Rodriguez played a parrot named Cuco in the animated film El Americano: The Movie. Its director, Ricardo Arnaiz, was very pleased with the casting.

Modern Family ended after eleven seasons in April 2020. He announced on Instagram that "words cannot even begin to describe the life-changing experience I have had on this show". Since then, he has made appearances as himself on The Substitute and Unfiltered, both on Nickelodeon.

Personal life
Rodriguez is a Houston Rockets fan. He has described himself as an avid reader.

On March 12, 2017, Rodriguez's father, Roy, died at age 52.

Ipi was an Ancient Egyptian vizier of the early Middle Kingdom. His only secure attestation known today is his Theban Tomb (TT315) (MMA 516).The tomb was found in the rocks of Deir el-Bahari overlooking the funerary complex of Mentuhotep II. It consisted of a great courtyard, a corridor, a chapel and a burial chamber. The corridor and chapel were found undecorated and only the burial chamber had painted decorations, religious texts and the titles and name of Ipi on its walls. The burial chamber housed a sarcophagus, sunk into the floor.

The courtyard in front of Ipi's tomb comprised the burial of the servant Meseh, where the Heqanakht papyri were discovered. In another chamber were found about sixty vessels and an embalming table, presumably for the mummy of Ipi.

The datation of Ipi's lifetime is disputed, but he most likely lived during the early Twelfth Dynasty.

In abstract algebra, a Schreier domain, named after Otto Schreier, is an integrally closed domain where every nonzero element  is primal; i.e., whenever x divides yz, x can be written as x = x1 x2 so that x1 divides y and x2 divides z. An integral domain is said to be pre-Schreier if every nonzero element is primal. A GCD domain is an example of a Schreier domain. The term "Schreier domain" was introduced by P. M. Cohn in 1960s. The term "pre-Schreier domain" is due to Muhammad Zafrullah.

In general, an irreducible element is primal if and only if it is a prime element. Consequently, in a Schreier domain, every irreducible is prime. In particular, an atomic Schreier domain is a unique factorization domain; this generalizes the fact that an atomic GCD domain is a UFD.

Phineas Jenks (May 3, 1781 – August 6, 1851) was a medical doctor and a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.  He lived in Newtown.  He married Amelia Snyder (June 21, 1791 - August 6, 1859), daughter of Pennsylvania Governor Simon Snyder, in 1820, in Harrisburg.

Early life
Jenks was born in Middletown, PA.

Medical Doctor
Jenks studied medicine with Dr. Benjamin Rush, graduating in 1804 with a diploma from the University of Pennsylvania.  He began the practice of medicine under Dr. Isaac Chapman of Wrightstown Township.  He was elected a junior member of the Philadelphia Medical Society in 1803. His thesis was An essay on the analogy of the Asiatic and African plague and the American yellow fever.  He was the first president of the Bucks County Medical Society.

Pennsylvania House of Representatives
Jenks represented Bucks County from 1815 through 1820, as a member of the Federalist party.

In 1817, Jenks submitted a bill in the Pennsylvania House to make a new county called Penn from the lower portion of Bucks County.  On December 1, 1818, Jenks came in last in a vote for the speaker of the Pennsylvania House with one vote.  (The speaker elected was Rees Hill with 74 votes.  Other votes were: John Purdon - 9, Samuel Bond - 1, and William N. Irvine - 1).  On December 7, 1819, he came in second in a vote for speaker with 21 of the 93 votes cast.

Kate Mason Rowland (June 22, 1840 – June 28, 1916) was an American author, historian, genealogist, biographer, editor and historic preservationist. Rowland is best known for her biography of her great-great-granduncle, George Mason, a Founding Father of the United States.  Rowland was also a charter member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She later went by the name of "Kate Mason."

Early life
Kate Mason Rowland and her twin sister, Elizabeth Moir Mason Rowland, were born on June 22, 1840, to Major Isaac S. Rowland and his wife, Catherine Armistead Mason. Rowland was a granddaughter of John Thomson Mason and a niece of Stevens Thomson Mason.

American Civil War
Rowland volunteered for the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. She served as a nurse at Camp Winder Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. On April 4, 1865, after the Confederate government abandoned Richmond, Rowland, then a matron at the Marine Hospital (also known as the Naval Hospital), sang "patriotic songs" to hospitalized soldiers. She described the scene in her diary as "overflowing with merriment," in which a casual observer would "hardly realize we were all prisoners" of the Union. Both of Rowland's brothers, Thomas Rowland (1842–1874) and John Thomson Mason (1844–1901), served in the Confederate States Army.

Civic and organizational involvement
Rowland was a charter member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Rowland found the moniker "War of the Rebellion" for the American Civil War unacceptable. She introduced a resolution at a United Daughters of the Confederacy meeting in November 1899 requiring members to "use every influence, as a body and individually, to expel from the literature of the country and from the daily press, the phrase, 'war of the rebellion,' and to have substituted for it the phrase, 'War Between the States.'" Rowland's resolution went further, instructing members to induce the Federal government to use the preferred term.

In addition to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Rowland was also an active member of the Virginia Historical Society, the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, and the Confederate Memorial Literary Society. She was an honorary member of the Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore.
