The Census of Diversity of Abyssal Marine Life (CeDAMar) is a field project of the Census of Marine Life that studies the species diversity of one of the largest and most inaccessible environments on the planet, the abyssal plain.  CeDAMar uses data to create an estimation of global species diversity and provide a better understanding of the history of deep-sea fauna, including its present diversity and dependence on environmental parameters.  CeDAMar initiatives aim to identify centers of high biodiversity useful for planning both commercial and conservation efforts, and are able to be used in future studies on the effects of climate change on the deep sea.

As of May 2009, participation by upwards of 56 institutions in 17 countries has resulted in the publication of nearly 300 papers.  Results of CeDAMar-related research were also published in a 2010 textbook on deep-sea biodiversity by Michael Rex and Ron Etter, members of CeDAMar's Scientific Steering Committee.()

CeDAMar is led by Dr. Pedro Martinez Arbizu of Germany and Dr. Craig Smith, USA.

The Evert–Navratilova rivalry was a tennis rivalry in the 1970s and 1980s between Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, widely regarded as two of the greatest tennis players of all time. It is considered to be one of the greatest rivalries in tennis history and sports in general. The pair contested 80 matches between 1973 and 1988 (60 of which were finals), with Navratilova leading the overall head-to-head 43–37 and 36–24 in finals. It is the most prolific tennis rivalry of the Open Era.

In the 12 years from the introduction of the WTA rankings in November 1975 until August 1987, one of the two held the top spot in all but 23 weeks. More specifically, in the first 615 weeks of the WTA rankings they collectively held the No. 1 ranking for 592 weeks, Navratilova at 332 weeks and Evert at 260 weeks. Such was their dominance over other players, that for the period 1977–1987 when the two rivals were first ranked world No. 1 and No. 2 (and generally the top two players for the entire ten year period), only three times did any other player beat them both back-to-back in the same tournament: Evonne Goolagong Cawley at the 1978 Virginia Slims of Boston, Tracy Austin at the 1979 US Open, and Hana Mandlíková at the 1985 US Open. From the 1981 Australian Open to the 1985 Wimbledon Championships, the duo won a record 15 consecutive major singles titles. From the 1981 Wimbledon Championships to the 1988 Australian Open, they won 22 of 27 major singles titles, and at least one of them appeared in each of those 27 finals. (The five defeats in those 27 finals were Navratilova losing to Austin at the 1981 US Open, to Mandlíková at the 1985 US Open and 1987 Australian Open, and to Steffi Graf at the 1987 French Open; Evert lost to Graf in the 1988 Australian Open final.)

Evert and Navratilova encountered each other most often on the faster court surfaces (grass and indoors), where Navratilova's offensive serve-and-volley style of play gave her the upper hand over Evert's counter-attacking baseline approach. Evert enjoyed more success in the rivalry on hard courts and especially on clay courts. Navratilova led Evert 10–5 on grass, 9–7 on outdoor hard courts, and 21–14 on indoor courts, but Evert led 11–3 on clay courts. Evert led their head-to-head in three-set match wins 15–14, but Navratilova led 29–22 in straight-set encounters. Navratilova was most dominant in encounters in majors, leading 14–8 overall and 10–4 in finals. Evert led their head-to-head for each of the first six years of their rivalry (1973–78), whereas Navratilova had the upper hand for each year in the rest of their rivalry (1979, 1981–88).

Following their retirements, they became close friends.

Grand Slam matches
 Final matches indicated in bold.

Famous matches

1978 Wimbledon final
Navratilova won their 26th match in the final of the 1978 Wimbledon Championships. Evert had won the first set, and was cruising in the second, until Navratilova rallied back and won the match in three-sets. The third set was classic combination of a see-saw battle and a contrast in styles between the two players. Navratilova won 12 of the last 13 points for the title, winning the third set 7–5. It is considered to be one of the best women's finals in Wimbledon history.

1981 Australian Open final
In their 45th match, Evert and Navratilova played a three-set epic at the final of the 1981 Australian Open. In his book, tennis historian Steve Flink ranks it as one of their two most significant matches, alongside the 1985 French Open final. Navratilova won the match despite dropping the opening set, winning the final set 7–5. Evert considered the match to be one of her toughest losses. The tournament was played on grass.

1984 US Open final
In their 61st match, Navratilova won in three-sets at the 1984 US Open final. Navratilova was on a 54-match winning streak coming into the match, one shy of Evert's then Open Era record 55-match winning streak, she would eventually extend the record to 74 matches won in a row, a record that still stands. Navratilova dropped the first set, yet rallied to win the next two to win the US Open. It is considered to be one of their best matches, and one of the best matches in US Open history. Evert is quoted as saying about the impact of that loss that "It was the most devastated I've ever felt over a tennis match."

1982 Australian Open final
In a rematch of the previous year's final, Evert beat Navratilova in three sets. It was a straightforward match, with Evert claiming the first set 6–3, Navratilova the second set 6–2, and Evert finally winning with a third set score of 6–3. With her win, Evert achieved the Career Grand Slam. Like the previous year's final, the match was played on grass instead of hardcourt.

1985 French Open final
In their 65th match, Evert and Navratilova played a three-set epic at the final of the 1985 French Open. It was a rematch of the previous year's final at the 1984 French Open. With the win, Evert reclaimed the No.1 ranking from Navratilova. Evert won the first set 6–3, before Navratilova rallied from down 2–4, 0–40 in the second set to force a third. In the deciding set, Evert let a 5–3 lead slip away, before eventually winning the third set 7–5. It is considered to be one of the greatest women's Grand Slam finals in history. Evert considers it her favorite win over Navratilova, as she was the underdog and Navratilova had recently strung together a great number of wins against Evert. It is one of the two matches that tennis historian Steve Flink considers the most significant in their rivalry, alongside the 1981 Australian Open final.

The Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme (UAS) is a program in the United Kingdom devised to encourage students enrolled in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs to enter teaching by awarding them with degree course credits.

History
Noting the declining enrollment in STEM subjects at UK universities, a team including author Simon Singh devised the idea with three aims:
 to encourage undergraduates in those fields to go into teaching,
 to support teachers and
 to provide role models for school students who might otherwise never meet a young person who had chosen to study a STEM subject.

UAS was set up to provide a structure to get undergraduates into the classroom, based on a model pioneered at Imperial College London, but adding the incentive of academic credit for program participants.

After receiving approval to pilot UAS from the University of Surrey, Singh backed a launch of the program with his own money, with the assistance of Ravi Kapur and others. Student interest in the program was high. Singh indicated that in the pilot year of the program 10 of 13 math undergraduates who participate at the University of Southampton subsequently entered teacher training. By the midpoint of its second year, in February 2004, the program was being described by the Times Educational Supplement (TES) as a success, with nine universities onboard and an additional 30 expressing interest. In October 2005, Singh wrote in The Guardian that UAS was established in "over 50 university departments, mainly mathematics, science and engineering, with more coming on board each year." In the 2007-2008 academic year, involvement had risen to 107 university departments, with 750 undergraduate participants.

Function
According to TES, undergraduates involved first participate in a one-day program to give them basic information on instructing students in math and science. After this training, they observe a local classroom and then put together a project for the students in a class. The UAS website indicates that the program, available in the last two years of a student's undergraduate career, carries ten to 30 credits for ten weeks of work in the classroom alongside the classroom's regular teacher, who helps evaluate the undergraduate's performance.

The Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) is a field project of the Census of Marine Life that researches the marine biodiversity of Antarctica, how it is affected by climate change, and how this change is altering the ecosystem of the Southern Ocean.

The program started in 2005 as a 5-year initiative with the scientific goal being to study the evolution of life in Antarctic waters, to determine how this has influenced the diversity of the present biota, and use these observations to predict how it might respond to future change. However, due to modern and extravagant changes within technology, we are able to witness and influence biodiversity reproduction and development. This enables us to gain further insight toward characteristics that allow such biodiversity to flourish within this barren desert referred to as the Arctic and Antarctic.

CAML has collected its data from 18 Antarctic research vessels during the International Polar Year, which is freely accessible at Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research Marine Biodiversity Information Network (SCAR-MarBIN). The  Register of Antarctic Marine Species has 9,350 verified species (16,500 taxa) in 17 phyla, from microbes to whales. For 1500 species the DNA barcode is available.

The information from CAML is a robust baseline against which future change may be measured.

St. Mildred's-Lightbourn School (commonly referred to as just St. Mildred's and abbreviated to SMLS) is an independent all-girls school in Oakville, Ontario, Canada with approximately 550 students from Preschool to Grade 12. The Junior school includes girls from pre-school to grade five. The middle school includes grade 6, 7, and 8. The senior school goes from grade 9 to grade 12.

History
St. Mildred's-Lightbourn School was founded by a community of  Sisters, who had traveled to Canada from various parts of England. It was first opened in Toronto as St. Mildred's College, in September 1908. In 1923, Appleby College Headmaster, John Guest, requested for Ruth Lightbourn, who was staying at her parents' house, to teach his two daughters. Parents continued to ask for Miss Lightbourn's help with their children, and soon enough there was no space left for her to do her job. She continued teaching young children from well-to-do families, in an expanded area, for thirty-seven years later.

In 1964, the Lightbourn School Board of Governors asked the Sisters of the Church to manage their school, and five years later Lightbourn School was expanded, and united as St. Mildred's Lightbourn School. The School was turned over by the Sisters to the Board of Governors in 1986.

Culture
Students are divided into different houses upon arrival: Brant Massey, Grenfell Alexander and Cartier Vanier, whose symbols are a red and black beaver, a blue green flying moose and a green and black frog, respectively. The senior school mascot is currently a spartan after a movement to change the mascot from a pink bowed alligator wearing the school kilt called "Millie the Milligator"; she is still used frequently with the junior school students. School songs include Jubilate Deo and Blessed are the Pure in Heart.

Junior school
The junior school program spans from pre-school to Grade 5. Academic programs include literacy, mathematics, science, social science, French, and religion, while the arts program consists of music and visual arts classes, as well as several performance opportunities. All junior school students participate in a physical education class, and students may join several extracurricular sports, such as hockey, soccer, swimming, frisbee, basketball, cross-country, and track and field.

Community events include: United Way Week, which raises money for the United Way of Oakville; a day to raise money for UNICEF on Halloween; and collection of new school supplies for KidsFest Canada.

SMLS also has several extracurriculars. One activity is the FIRST LEGO League (FLL), the "little league" of robotics, where students work as a team to build a robot and compete in a friendly, FIRST robotics event. Several activities are part of the Global Studies program. The school participates in The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Program. SMLS students must complete the requirements for the Bronze level, and are encouraged to continue on to the Silver and Gold levels. The school is also a member of the international Round Square Program; thus, it has Round Square based activities, workshops, speakers and curriculum, though it is not offered to grades 6-S2.

Middle school
The middle school program covers Grade 6 (MS6) to Grade 8 (MS8) and balances traditional core concept teaching with inquiry-based and project learning that integrates themes across multiple subject areas. Throughout the year, girls have the opportunity to participate in a variety of opportunities to test their academic abilities which, depending on the year, include challenges such as math contests, bridge building, the Spelling Bee of Canada, the CIS Junior Speech Competition, Kids Lit Quiz, music festivals, dance festivals, and more. There are also opportunities to reach ahead and take Grade 9 courses, for further challenge.

Students may travel locally, outside the province, and/or internationally through the Global Studies Department.

Senior school
Throughout the senior school years, Grades 9 (SS9) to Grade 12 (SS12/Grad Year), girls have a teacher advisor as well as subject-specific teachers. and invited to explore a wide range of co-curricular opportunities. There are also several major social events, including grade dances, a semi formal, and father daughter/mother daughter dances.

In SS9 and SS10, two types of courses are offered: academic and open courses. Academic courses emphasize theory and abstract problems. Open courses are designed to prepare students for further study in certain subjects and to enrich their education generally.

In SS11 to Grad Year, university and college preparation courses and open courses are offered to prepare students for their post-secondary destinations.

Technology is integrated throughout curriculum in all subjects to continue education beginning in the junior and middle schools.

All senior school students have their own personal laptop equipped with an SMLS suite of installed software. Updates are completed as necessary by the IT Department. The use of technology, including a collection of web-based applications, is not limited to computers. Student's curricular use of technology includes the following, among others: video and digital cameras, tablets, interactive projectors, sound recording, TI-83+ calculators, scientific probes, and GPS units. Technology use is guided by the Acceptable Use Policy signed by parents and students.

Global studies
St. Mildred's offers a variety of opportunities for students to participate in exchanges and travel to other areas on the globe.  Students are required to complete the bronze level of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award before graduation and are encouraged to continue on to the Silver and Gold levels.

All middle school students work toward the Junior Duke Award, focusing on many of the skills of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award program. Girls in JS3 – JS55 begin their Global Studies journey through participation in the "Millie 100" Program. As early as JS4, students experience their first overnight trip with the school. Then in JS4 and beyond, girls may go to various trips such as overnight camping, high ropes courses, winter survival skills, and learning to paddle a variety of water craft.

All middle school students take part in a 4-day outdoor integrated educational experience with A.L.I.V.E. Outdoors, which combines outdoor work with planned workshops.

Arctic Ocean Diversity is one of the 14 field projects of the Census of Marine Life project.  The Arctic Ocean Diversity (ArcOD) project is an international effort to inventory the diversity of marine life in the three major Arctic realms: sea ice, water column, and sea floor – from the shallow shelves to the deep basins.

ArcOD's Main Scientific Questions
How many species are there in the three realms sea ice, water column, and benthos and what are their patterns in distribution, abundance and biomass?
What are the biota’s bio-geographic affinities (Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific, cosmopolitan) and distribution barriers? Do they vary between realms or between shelves versus deep-sea?
Can we distinguish regional differences within and between species using traditional tools combined with molecular tools?
What are the relationships between species distribution patterns and richness with environmental factors, in particular different water masses, primary productivity patterns, sea ice regimes and substrate types?

The framework and urgency for these questions is the ongoing dramatic climate change in the Arctic that is already linked to changes in biological communities. Substantial gaps in the Arctic’s biodiversity inventory hamper the ability to fully detect the magnitude and extent of these changes. ArcOD’s approach has been to compile data on the known, improve taxonomic resolution of already collected materials and begin to fill geographic and taxonomic gaps with new collections. This work has been done across biological realms and on a pan-Arctic scale. The most substantial limit to the current knowledge is the temporal variability of biodiversity patterns in the Arctic, in particular vulnerability of Arctic biota to climate change and the increasing human footprint in the area.

Expeditions

15 August to 8 september 2002: Arctic Exploration cruise
23 July 2003 to September 6 2004 The first RUSALCA (Russian-American Long-term census of the Arctic) expedition focused on the Bering and Chukcha seas, an area considered particularly sensitive to global climate change, between .
23 June to 26 July 2005: The Hidden Ocean - Arctic 2005 cruise
March to May/June 2008 and 2009: Bering Sea Ecosystem study cruises.
RUSALCA 2009: The second expedition included replacement of eight buoys across the Bering strait. Data from these buoys has shown changes in temperature and salinity of the water flowing into the Arctic Ocean from the Pacific, which may be contributing towards the reduction in sea ice. The second phase was to investigate methane flux from thawing sub-sea permafrost and other changes in the benthic and mid-water ecosystems.
The RUSALCA expeditions are reported to have achieved more than the participants could have done alone.

Wyoming Highway 72 (WYO 72) is a  Wyoming state highway in eastern-central Carbon County that travels from Elk Mountain northwest to Hanna.

Route description
Highway 72 begins its south end at Carbon County Route 402 (East Main Street) in Elk Mountain. WYO 72 heads northwest out of Elk Mountain as Bridge Street and then loses the name when it leaves the town. At approximately  north of Elk Mountain, Highway 72 intersects Interstate 80 at Exit 255. Highway 72 continues heading northwest towards Hanna, Wyoming, hence the road's name Hanna Road.  north of Carbon County Route 402, Highway 72 intersects U.S. Routes 30 and 287. Highway 72 then continues north from this intersection for around  as Adams Street to its northern terminus in Hanna.

Highway 72 uses two inventory control numbers. ML 412 is used for the section from Hanna to US 30 while ML 404 is used for the section from US 30 to Elk Mountain. This results in an unusual situation where mileposts overlap. ML 412 starts at milepost zero at US-30 and continues through Hanna to milepost 3.02, while ML 404 starts at milepost 1.55 from US 30 and continues to milepost 15.98 in Elk Mountain. This means that there are two mileposts for every interval between 1.55 and 3.02.

The Breed Motorcycle Club was a one-percenter motorcycle club that was formed in Asbury Park, New Jersey in the United States in 1965. The club disbanded in 2006 after numerous prominent members were indicted on racketeering and drug trafficking charges.

History
The Breed Motorcycle Club was founded by Salvatore DeIulio in Asbury Park, New Jersey in 1965. The club was originally known as the New Breed, but the full title didn't fit properly on the colors. The Breed patched over the Riverside, New Jersey-based Aces and Eights Motorcycle Club and the Elizabeth, New Jersey-based Branded Motorcycle Club in 1983 Due in parts of the efforts of Jim "Irish" Power who was known as "Irish Prez". He was known for his efforts to expand the club with minimal violence and his desire to make the club more profitable and larger in members. Power's efforts took The Breed to a level of profit and members that made the MC become a large force not to be underestimated or taken lightly by its rival clubs. At its peak in the 1970s, the Breed was the most prominent outlaw motorcycle club in the state and also had chapters in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with a membership of between three- and four-thousand.

Conflict with the Angels & Pagans
In March 1971, the club engaged in a confrontation with the Hells Angels in Cleveland, Ohio which resulted in the deaths of five people. During the following two decades, the Breed were continuously attacked by the Hells Angels, including a hand grenade attack on the house of the Breed national president in Plainfield, New Jersey. The conflict with the Hells Angels, as well as infighting, law enforcement efforts and a rivalry with the Pagans, led to the Breed decreasing in numbers to approximately nine-hundred members by 1990, and in a reduced territory comprising Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Central and South Jersey. In 1989, the Breed had two chapters in New Jersey – the mother chapter operating out of Middlesex County and the South Jersey chapter operating out of Riverside run by Jim "Irish" Power with most operations of the club being run out of The White Eagle Bar in Delran, NJ  and a Pennsylvania chapter in Bucks County. Membership was estimated at approximately forty in 2000. This number however was greatly underestimated as it was based on arrests that were made rather than the actual number of members estimated to legitimately be closer to five hundred.

The Breed, along with their rival Pagans, became the most prominent distributors of methamphetamine in New Jersey, and were reportedly infamous among outlaw motorcycle clubs due to their propensity for recruiting expelled members of rival clubs as well as for cooperating with law enforcement. The Breed was said to have gone defunct after being dismantled by a law enforcement operation against the club in 2006 which led to the imprisonment of nineteen members for drug trafficking and racketeering. The club was the subject of the 2009 Gangland episode "Evil Breed".

Organizational structure
The Breed Motorcycle Club was led by an executive board, consisting of chapter presidents, which determined club policy. The executive board was ultimately headed by a national president. Each club chapter consisted of a president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary and sergeant-at-arms. Membership of the club was restricted to white males who would first serve a prospecting period before being voted in and awarded their colors. Prospective members were required to carry out illegal activities, such as car theft and armed robbery, and turn over the proceeds of these crime to the club. In addition to regional chapters, the Breed also operated a nomad chapter, made up of members not bound by geographical location, which served as an elite element within the club.

The club's insignia consisted of a Betsy Ross flag with a Breed banner above. This insignia would be sewn onto the back of a sleeveless denim cutoff jacket, which was forbidden from being washed. Various other patches, including a "1%" patch, would also be worn.

Criminal allegations and incidents
The Breed are designated an outlaw motorcycle gang by the U.S. Department of Justice. The club engaged in organized criminal activities including the production and distribution of methamphetamine, larceny, robbery, extortion, auto crime, weapons violations, intimidation, assault, rape and murder, and also operated legitimate businesses such as tattoo parlors and transport companies, which could serve as fronts for illegal activity. The Breed was involved in conflicts with rival motorcycle gangs, such as the Hells Angels, Pagans and Warlocks.

New Jersey
Fred "Sheik" Nichlos, the Breed's South Jersey chapter president, was shot dead after being dragged from his home in Jackson Township by two men on August 30, 1968. Thomas G. Russomanno, Jr pleaded no defense to Nichlos' murder on February 5, 1969 and testified that he and Patsy Truglia had gone to Nichlos' home to retrieve a motorcycle in Nichlos' possession that they believed had been stolen from Truglia, and that a gun that he was holding to threaten Nichlos had fired accidentally.

On August 13, 1976, during a robbery by two gunmen of a check-cashing business in Kearny, one of the gunman killed Newark police officer John Snow. A Hudson County grand jury indicted Allen Roller, Bruce Reen, Victor Forni and Vincent James Landano for felony murder and armed robbery, along with other offenses. Roller was president of the Breed's Staten Island, New York chapter, Reen was also a Breed member and Forni was a club associate, while Landano was of friend of Forni. The state believed that Roller and Forni planned the robbery, but that only Landano and Roller actually participated in the crime. Two accomplices and three eyewitnesses identified Landano as Snow's murderer, and he was sentenced to fifteen-years-to-life in prison for the crime in April 1977. Landano was acquitted of murder in a retrial in 1998 and died at the age of sixty-three on November 11, 2002.

Breed members Kalani Lopa and Thomas Heilman were arraigned on two counts each of kidnaping after abducting club member John McGurk and Patricia McDevitt from McGurk's Bordentown home in an attempt to collect a $1,200 debt on August 17, 1977.

John Belowsky and James R. "Axl" Fleming – both identified as Breed members by authorities – and a third man, Pasquel Varona, were arrested during a raid on an apartment in Asbury Park which led to the seizure of handguns and almost $5,000 worth of cocaine on January 25, 1995. The three men were charged with drug and weapons offences.

Eugene "Gene" Bernardo, president of the Breed's Monmouth County chapter, was charged with conspiracy to distribute almost five-hundred grams of methamphetamine in a one-count federal indictment on January 6, 1998. He was convicted of the charge on May 26, 1999. Bernardo had acted as a middleman in a drug sale made by Carl Chianase to Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informant Kalani Lopa in January 1997.

Two Breed members stabbed two Pagans in a tattoo studio in Trenton in September 1998.

Ten members of the Breed, including national president Salvatore "Old Man" DeIulio, were indicted on charges of extortion and sexual assault on January 28, 2000. The club was allegedly running protection rackets on strip clubs, tattoo parlors and other businesses in Long Branch. The sexual assault charges were brought after four women, who danced at the clubs, complained to the Howell Township police. One woman claimed to have been chained to the floor for several days, forced to engage in oral sex with several men and beaten severely. David Snyder, a strip club owner and former Breed member, was allegedly assaulted after attempting to reduce the number of sexual assaults on the dancers. On November 4, 2000, five Breed members were acquitted of extortion conspiracy. In June 2001, a Superior Court jury in Monmouth County acquitted Delulio of aggravated assault in a case in which he allegedly beat and sexually assaulted a nude dancer. However, a hung jury was declared on six other charges, including aggravated sexual assault and weapons possession.

Breed members Sanford Gorzelsky, Scott Lear and Frederick M. "Guido" DeCapua were indicted in July 2003 and charged with robbery, aggravated assault, hindering apprehension, weapons possession and retaliation against a witness. The trio allegedly attacked former Breed member Arne "Ole" Olsen at a bar in West Long Branch on October 5, 2002 in retaliation for his testimony in a court case involving other club members. On May 11, 2005, Gorzelsky was convicted of aggravated assault, and Lear was found guilty of conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and retaliation, while DeCapua was acquitted of all charges.

New York
One Breed member, Alfred Brechesi, was fatally shot and another, Joseph Pascarella, was beaten and slashed during a confrontation with a group of around ten Hells Angels members on Staten Island, New York City on July 25, 1971. Three Hells Angels – Anthony Morabito, John Scott and Howard Weisbrod – were charged with assault.

Seven members of the Breed allegedly committed an assault at gunpoint on two young women in a house on Staten Island in December 1971. Two members, Edward Verri and Joseph Pascarella, were arrested and charged with rape and sodomy on January 6, 1972.

Ohio
On March 6, 1971, the Breed participated in a large-scale brawl with the Hells Angels at a motorcycle trade show in Cleveland, involving over a hundred bikers from each side. Four members of the Breed – Bruce Emerick, Andrew Demeter, Amelio Gardull and Thomas A. Terry – and one Hells Angel – Jeffrey "Groover" Coffey – were stabbed to death, and twenty-three people were injured, including three police officers. Dozens of vans and cars full of police officers were called in to break up the fight. Although most of the bikers were able to flee, eighty-four were arrested at the scene. On March 9, 1971, forty-seven Breed members and ten Hells Angels were each charged with five counts of first-degree murder. The feud between the two clubs reportedly began after a fight in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania two years earlier, and continued during the following two decades.

Pennsylvania
After being chased for over a mile by twelve Breed members on motorcycles, Michael Trunk – a Pagan and former Breed member – was shot in the head and killed by Breed member Ralph "Marlboro" Waldman in Abington Township in Montgomery County on July 22, 1973. Trunk's colors were then stolen. After Waldman and other Breed members were arrested, a brawl involving Breed and Pagans took place at Abington police station. Waldman was convicted of first-degree murder, aggravated assault, robbery, theft of movable property, criminal conspiracy, terroristic threats and two counts of simple assault on October 30, 1975, and was sentenced to life in prison. Two Breed members – George Schell and Joseph Zebrowski – and three Pagans involved in the brawl were cleared of aggravated assault in September 1973 after they refused to press charges against each other.

Mark Allen "Pockets" Chancellor, a prospective member of the Breed, was shot dead during a club meeting attended by seven other members at the farmhouse of Masury, Ohio chapter president John Gilkey in Mercer County on October 13, 1973. Chancellor was allegedly killed for unwittingly violating a club rule during his membership initiation. His body was found on October 26, 1973 in a shallow grave approximately four-hundred feet from the Gilkey home by officers of the Pennsylvania State Police acting on an anonymous tip-off. New York chapter member William M. Zillgitt and New Jersey mother chapter sergeant-at-arms Gary Roman were convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to ten-to-twenty years in prison, and Ohio chapter president Donald David "Kraut" Treftz was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Treftz escaped from SCI Huntingdon on July 22, 1993 and was apprehended by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents and local police in Deadwood, South Dakota on April 6, 1995.

Breed member Ernest C. Custor stabbed motorist Dennis Carson in the throat with a hunting knife and attempted to stab his passenger Albert Falls following a road rage incident on Route 1 in Bucks County on April 24, 1976. Custor claimed temporary insanity, but was found guilty of attempted murder, simple assault, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and possession of a prohibited offensive weapon.

In 1987 and 1989, Breed and Pagans members were involved in incidents of assault and kidnapping to settle disputes or to retaliate for acts of violence against fellow members. In one incident, a Breed member wearing his colors in the Philadelphia area – considered Pagan territory – was assaulted and robbed of his colors by Pagans members. Arrangements were made to negotiate a settlement to this dispute. However, two Breed members were arrested and charged with weapons offenses during the prearranged meeting. Reportedly, the two were present and armed to protect the chapter president, who was handling negotiations.

In December 1988, members of the Warlocks kidnapped the Breed's Bucks County chapter president Craig "Coyote" Gudkneckt in retaliation for several Warlocks being assaulted by Breed members at a bar in Bensalem Township. Gudkneckt was taken to the home of a Warlock where he was tied up, beaten and pistol-whipped. Gudkneckt escaped and subsequently reported the incident to police.

On July 21, 2006, fifteen members of the Breed were charged with running a large-scale methamphetamine ring after a year-long investigation by the Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office and the Philadelphia Police Department, known as Operation Breed on a Wire. Among the indicted were Pennsylvania chapter president John W. "Junior" Napoli, New Jersey mother chapter president John A. "Shameless" Kovacs and thirteen other club members. Police also seized more than twenty-two pounds of methamphetamine, nearly $500,000 in cash and bank deposits, forty-four firearms (including one submachine gun), ten improvised explosive devices, various vehicles and twenty-four motorcycles during a series of raids. Further charges relating to racketeering were added to the indictments of Napoli, William A. "Tattoo Billy" Johnson, Christopher "Slam" Quattrocchi, Thomas E. "Fuzzy" Heilman, Frederick F. "Pan Head" Freehoff and Eric "Kicker" Loebsack on July 26, 2007. A grand jury found that Napoli was the ring leader of the drug organization which operated in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and distributed over 120 pounds of methamphetamine between May 2005 and June 2006, which has an estimated street value of more than $11.25 million. A total of nineteen Breed members were convicted in the case, receiving sentences ranging from three to thirty-six years in prison. On October 4, 2007, Napoli and Johnson were convicted of drug trafficking, racketeering and weapons charges, while Heilman was also convicted of conspiracy to traffic over five hundred grams of methamphetamine. Napoli received the harshest sentence of all of his co-conspirators when he was sentenced to thirty-six years' imprisonment on April 17, 2008. Heilman was sentenced to twenty years' on January 6, 2008, and Johnson was sentenced to thirty-five years' on April 11, 2008. Operation Breed on a Wire and the resulting convictions effectively dismantled the club. Remaining members who avoided the indictments subsequently dispersed or joined other clubs. Several Breed members patched over to the Outlaws and established a chapter in Kensington, Philadelphia.

Electronic Attack Squadron 138 (VAQ-138), also known as the "Yellow Jackets", is an expeditionary EA-18G Growler squadron of the United States Navy based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington.

Squadron history

1970s–1990s
VAQ-138 was established as an operational squadron in February 1976 and made its first deployment aboard  to the Mediterranean Sea. The squadron completed three more deployments to the Mediterranean Sea aboard  and  during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Following the Mediterranean/Indian Ocean cruise in 1982 aboard Kennedy, the squadron joined  for a deployment to the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean in 1983.  After 1984, the squadron made eight deployments aboard , participating in Central American operations in 1985, the Libya airstrikes in 1986, Operations Desert Storm and Provide Comfort in 1991, and Operation Southern Watch in 1993, 1996, and a 1997–1998 around-the-world deployment.

In November 1996 the squadron filled a two-month gap in EA-6B coverage at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan. Upon their return, workups were started for an around-the-world cruise on USS Nimitz. Following their 1997–1998 Persian Gulf deployment the squadron was awarded the 1997 Admiral Arthur W. Radford Award, the 1997 Battle Efficiency Award, the 1997 CNO Aviation Safety Award, and the 1998 Golden Anchor Award.

In April 1999, VAQ-138 deployed to Aviano Air Base, Italy to conduct combat operations over Serbia and Kosovo during Operation Allied Force. While deployed to Aviano, the squadron flew over 500 combat sorties and fired more than 60 AGM-88 HARM against Serbian targets. Three weeks after returning from Italy, the squadron began work-ups aboard , which culminated in a Western Pacific and Persian Gulf deployment, during which they conducted two and a half months of missions in support of Operation Southern Watch.

2000

The September 11, 2001 attacks found the squadron underway for work-ups aboard USS John C. Stennis, and resulted in an accelerated work-up cycle and deployment to the Northern Persian Gulf. The squadron commenced combat operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom on December 17, 2001 and included missions in support of Operation Anaconda. The squadron returned to NAS Whidbey Island following seven months of deployment in June 2002.

In September 2002, the squadron began work-ups for an eight-month deployment to the Western Pacific from January though September 2003. During this time, the squadron transitioned to the Block 89A configuration of the EA-6B, and conducted the first operational deployment of the Block 89A. During the deployment, the squadron executed detachments to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa; MCAS Iwakuni, Japan; Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, and Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan and participated in Exercise Foal Eagle in Korea.

The squadron departed San Diego in February 2005 and sailed into Norfolk, Virginia, on the last day of July after flying over 300 combat sorties and amassing over 1600 combat flight hours during four months of supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

VAQ-138 departed Naval Air Station North Island, California on 18 January 2007 for USS John C. Stennis to begin their seven-month Western pacific deployment with Carrier Air Wing Nine (CVW-9), during which they supported the ongoing operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The squadron amassed over 650 flight hours consisting of combat missions over Afghanistan and Iraq. During their 2007 WESTPAC, the four EA-6B ICAP III Prowlers of VAQ-138 logged over 1,700 flight hours, and achieved a 96% combat sortie completion rate.

2010–present

Following their 2009 cruise on board USS John C. Stennis, the squadron began transitioning to the EA-18G Growler. They were certified 'Safe for Flight' in their new aircraft in August 2010.

VAQ-138 deployed to land bases, from June to 23 December 2011 they were based at Al Asad AB, Iraq. From August 2014 to 8 February 2015 they were based at Misawa AFB, Japan, and again from April to October 2016. While deployed to Misawa AFB in 2016, VAQ-138 sent a detachment to Clark AB, Philippines from June to July, followed by another detachment sent to Andersen AFB, Guam from July to August to participate in Exercise VALIENT SHIELD.

In January of 2017, VAQ-138 flew to Nellis AFB, Nevada, to take part in RED FLAG 17-1 in preparation for a PACOM deployment starting in March. From March to October, VAQ-138 was stationed in Misawa, Japan with detachments participating in joint exercises in South Korea and the Philippines.

Starting in March of 2018, the cycle begins again with VAQ-138 flying to Nellis AFB, Nevada, for RED FLAG 18-2. From May to December, the Rampaging Yellow Jackets once again found themselves stationed at Misawa, Japan for one of their most busy deployments yet by participating in the following exercises: MALABAR (Guam), THROWING KNIVES (Japan), NUDAY HUNTER (Guam), VALIENT SHIELD (Guam), PACIFIC THUNDER (South Korea), and KEEN SWORD (Japan).

After finishing the 2018 deployment, 2019's training cycle started in February for the squadron's first trip to NAS Fallon for a missile shoot. The next trip to Fallon lasted just shy of two weeks, beginning 31 March; the final trip to Fallon occurred in mid June, also for two weeks. In between the detachments, three times throughout 2019, VAQ-138 supported GTI operations in Fallon. The final detachment took the Rampaging Yellow Jackets up to Eielson AFB, Alaska, for a red flag integration exercise with various platforms from the United States Air Force. In October of 2019, VAQ-138 was sent West, back to Misawa AFB, Japan, in support of Seventh Fleet and national tasking requirements. While on detachment, the Yellow Jackets seized the opportunity to partner with the esteemed F-16 "Wild Weasels" of the 13th Fighter Squadron to accomplish unique training opportunities, increasing joint capabilities.

Towards the end of January in 2019, while still stationed at Misawa AFB, a detachment was sent to Andersen AFB, Guam, to participate in Cope North for 5 weeks. At Cope North, VAQ-138 integrated with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), United States Air Force (USAF), and the United States Marine Corps (USMC) assets to conduct multiple simulated large force strike. By the end of April, VAQ-138 and completed their mission and returned home to Whidbey Island, Washington. Later that year, the squadron played a roll in Gunfighter Flag: a multi-branch/international integration exercise at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, to practice SEAD (suppression of enemy air defenses). The highlight of 2020 for VAQ-138 took place in September, as the squadron made base history: becoming the first squadron to execute a high-speed anti-radiation missile (HARM) shoot from home base NASWI.

The W233 Renew is also claimed as the world's first carbon neutral phone. Announced at CES on January 6, 2009, its plastic housing is also 100 percent recyclable.

Affiliates

Through an alliance with Carbonfund.org, Motorola claims to have offset the carbon dioxide required to manufacture, distribute and operate the W233 Renew via investments in renewable energy sources and reforestation. After assessing its product lifecycle, the W233 earned Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree Product Certification.

Recycling

The focus on use of natural resources extended to the packaging, which was reduced by 22 percent during design. All materials inside the box were printed using vegetable-based inks on 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper. A postage-paid recycling envelope was also included, so consumers could mail in their old phone for recycling at no extra cost.

Features

The W233 Renew is an entry-level dual-band GSM phone, with a 128 x 128 pixel color display, a WAP browser, and support for 2GB of additional memory. It is not equipped with a camera. The phone's battery can handle talk time up to 9 hours (550 minutes) or standby for up to 18 days (450 hours).

La Musica International Chamber Music Festival is a chamber music festival located in Sarasota, Florida, United States. Concerts are performed annually in the month of April at the Sarasota Opera House.

Founded in 1987 by Artistic Director Bruno Giuranna (violist), Associate Artistic Director Derek Han (pianist), and Sarasota developer and patron of the arts Piero Rivolta, La Musica has established itself as an artistic and critical success and an outstanding American cultural institution. Its mission is to bring together the finest musicians from around the world to present exciting programs of familiar and seldom-heard chamber music, communicating a joy in performance to enthusiastic audiences.

In 1992, La Musica moved from performing its concerts in the Historic Asolo Theater to the Sarasota Opera House. Also that year, La Musica was invited to the University of South Florida/New College for rehearsals and lectures, where it remains in residence in Mildred Sainer Pavilion, New College of Florida. Starting in 1994, new festival activities were added: special rehearsals for students, pre-concert lectures, colloquia, and lectures by visiting scholars.

Throughout its history, La Musica has collaborated with other cultural organizations, both national (Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center) and local (Sarasota Film Society, Sarasota Ballet, Ringling College of Art and Design, GuitarSarasota). New works have been commissioned and or premiered (Turchi, Wallach, Bracali, Wyner, Hyman, Winn, Tower, Bilik). Since 1998, La Musica has embarked on a thematic excursion, exploring ways in which music relates to other art forms and cultural movements.

There'll be no festival in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic caused its cancellation.

William Garner (born 1920, in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England - 2005) was an English thriller writer.

Life and work
Garner graduated from the University of Birmingham in 1941 with a BSc (with honors). He served with the Royal Air Force from 1941 to 1946, rising to the rank of flight lieutenant.

He married Gwen Owen in 1944 while she was in the WAAF. Their daughter Lesley Garner is the Daily Telegraph's self-help columnist.

He was public relations director for Monsanto Company, London, from 1949 to 1964, and for Massey Ferguson Ltd. (London office) from 1964 to 1966. He became a full-time writer in 1967.

His early novels feature British spy Michael Jagger, a high-living, self-hating, risk-loving ex-agent (in disgrace).

Marghanita Laski writing in The Listener, called Garner "Our cleverest thriller writer". The Observer believed Garner was "A novelist of stature who leaves his own distinctive imprint on the le Carré scene." The Crime Writers' Association short-listed Rat's Alley for their Gold Dagger award.

When asked to describe himself, Garner replied "Strongly motivated. Views on almost everything that matters. Views on what matters might differ from those of many."

He is also the author of the article "Spies and sex make a puzzling mix", first published in The Observer in 1987.

Arthritis increasingly crippled Garner's hands later in life, preventing him from writing.

Margarita Mbywangi (born 1962) is a Paraguayan politician and an Aché indigenous leader, who in 2008 was appointed the Minister of Indigenous Affairs in Paraguay. Her main goals have focused on gaining indigenous land rights, protecting Paraguay's forested lands, and improving indigenous peoples' access to potable water, food and health care. Margarita is also a skilled poet and was quoted by BBC as saying "For an Indian the forest represents 'his mother, his life, his present and future'".

On August 18, 2008, Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo named Margarita Mbywangi, a member of the Aché indigenous group of eastern Paraguay, as Minister of Indigenous Affairs, the first indigenous person to hold such a position in Paraguay.

According to various news sources, at the age of four she was captured in the jungle near the Aché community of Chupapou and was sold several times into forced labour to families of hacienda owners. She was sent to school, so she learned to read and write, and in 2008 was completing a high school diploma.

The mother-of-three promised to meet with those who opposed her appointment, and in order to ease their concerns, she said "We are immediately going to help colleagues from different communities who are experiencing a difficult situation due to lack of potable water, food and clothing."

Gebi (; literally from Svan language: "depression") is an old village in the northern part of Georgian republic, in the region of Racha. From the northern slopes of Caucasus Gebi is bordered by Russia. Gebi with other two villages (Chiora, Glola) creates one ethno-cultural area, called Mtaracha (Georgian: მთარაჭა). Gebi covers a territory of 355 km².

Archaeological history
The history of the village Gebi is very rich. It counts more than 3500 years of cultural life. Archaeological excavations, which took place in the Soviet times revealed a huge necropolis in the place of Brili. An oldest cultural layer belongs to the middle Bronze Age, but everything shows that this part of Racha region was occupied from the earlier times. Here, on the southern slopes of Caucasus were one of the oldest metallurgical centres of ancient world, products were distributed in other parts of Caucasus and Georgia.

Cultural life continues in the Late Bronze-early Iron period, Archaeological remains of this time show similarity to the Colchian and Koban cultures. In the antique age the village shows strong trade relationships with Greek cities of Black Sea region. Several archaeological sites of this period show connections with Egypt and Scythian world. In the Middle Ages Mtaracha (Gebi, Chiora, Glola) belonged to Dvaleti, then it was part of Svanetia. From the beginning of the 16th century it became part of Racha principality.

Cultural history
Christian culture spreads in the 4th century. Earliest churches belong to the 9th-10th centuries. Argument about whether this part of Georgia belonged to Racha, Svanetia or Dvaleti is very complicated. Until the 16th century, Racha Svaneti and Dvaleti all made up one principality and was known as one Duchy of Georgia.

However, in the 16th century these regions split up and as a result Racha and Dvaleti became one Principality while Svaneti became other. Later on, historical Dvaleti region which includes today's Nari gorge and also another old settlement called Nar became part of Russia in the 19th century. Due to political uncertainty in Georgia after Bolshevik revolts in Samachablo this historic part of Racha became Part of Russia (North Ossetian Autonomous Republic). Mta-Racha was area of constant conflict between Rachians Dvaletians and Svans however by the end it was considered as part of Rachian Duchy. The name of the settlement Chiora (the nearby settlement, right next to Ghebi) comes from the Rachian dialectic word Ciora. According to legend, the original Ciorians lived deeper in Caucasus mountain chain. However, because of hard pressure over them by the Ossetians and Balkars, they asked permission from Ghebians to settle near the village. As they did they asked Ghebians if there was any "Cioreuli" (mammals such as bears, dears, etc.) in the area. For that reason new settlers called the area Ciora or the place where there are the mammals.

Los Mismos (English: "The Same Ones"), previously known as Los Bukis, is a Mexican Grupera music band from Ario de Rosales, Michoacán. The band was established in June 1996, after Marco Antonio Solís left the band Los Bukis, the remaining members regrouped as Los Mismos. Under the name Los Mismos, the band has released eleven albums, under five different labels, including EMI Latin, Univision Music Group, Skalona Records, Discos Power Records and Discos America. Not to be confused with the Spanish music band of the same name in the 1970s.

Formation
Los Bukis
In the 1970s, cousins Marco Antonio Solís and Joel Solís began writing and performing music as a duo, known as Los Hermanitos Solis (English: "The Little Solis Brothers"). As their music and following grew, they expanded the band, using the name Los Bukis (English: "Little Kid"). Marco Antonio Solís served as the lead vocalist, while additionally writing and producing all of the band's music. Their first album sold one million records in one year, certifying the album as Diamond status, in accordance with the Asociación Mexicana de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (English: "Mexican Association of Producers of Phonograms and Videograms, A.C.") guidelines. Their first song from the album was "Falso Amor" (English: "False love"). While Los Bukis continued performing and releasing new music, Marco Antonio Solís also wrote and produced albums for Marisela, Rocío Dúrcal, and María Sorté.

Los Mismos
In 1995, after 20 years with Los Bukis, lead singer and songwriter Marco Antonio Solís decided to pursue a solo career,  an agreement was made for neither Solís or the remaining band members to perform using the Purépecha name "buki" (English: "Little Kid") in any form. In accordance with the agreement, the remaining members of Los Bukis regrouped with Pedro Velázquez joining the group as lead vocalist.

Kevin Richard Kobel (born October 2, 1953) is a former professional baseball pitcher. Having made his major league debut with the Milwaukee Brewers a month shy of his twentieth birthday on September 8, , he is the only pitcher in franchise history to make his major league debut as a teenager.

Career
Kobel was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers out of Saint Francis High School in Athol Springs, New York in the eleventh round (250th overall) of the 1971 Major League Baseball Draft. After three seasons in their farm system, in which he went 20–24 with a 3.60 earned run average, Kobel joined the Brewers as a September call-up in 1973. He began his major league career with a perfect inning of work in which he struck out the first two New York Yankees batters he faced and induced a weak ground ball to first base from the third. In his second inning, however, he surrendered a grand slam to light hitting shortstop Fred Stanley.

His first major league win also came against the Yankees on May 12, . Kobel held the Yankees scoreless on two hits through seven innings in the rain delayed second game of a doubleheader at Shea Stadium. After surrendering a home run to Rick Dempsey to lead off the eighth, the game was called due to rain. Kobel spent the entire 1974 season in the majors, compiling a 6–14 record and 3.99 ERA. He seemed to be at his best against the Yankees, as his ERA against the Yankees was 2.10, and three of those six wins were at their expense.

He developed arm troubles that limited him to thirty innings for the triple A Sacramento Solons in . He remained a minor leaguer with the Brewers until receiving a second September call-up in . Following a  season spent in the minors, his contract was purchased by the New York Mets. He pitched parts of three seasons for the Mets, in which he went 12–18 with a 3.58 ERA. On June 17, , he was traded to the Kansas City Royals for a player to be named later. He appeared in eight games for the triple A Omaha Royals. He pitched briefly for the Pittsburgh Pirates' triple A affiliate, the Portland Beavers, in .

William Phineus Winneshiek, also spelled Winneshick and referred to as NahiSonwahika (December 24, 1892 – September 15, 1949), was a professional football player who played in the National Football League during the 1922 season, at age 25. That season, he joined the NFL's Oorang Indians. The Indians were a team based in LaRue, Ohio, composed only of Native Americans, and coached by Jim Thorpe. Bill was a member of the Ho-Chunk or Winnebago tribe.

His father helped him to attend Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania from 1911-1915.  He found friendship with Jim Thorpe and found his love for football.  In addition to playing with the NFL, Bill was an Assistant Football Coach at Lebanon Valley College , a professional musician in Chief Winneshiek's All Indian Band, and traveled to the Antarctic with Admiral Byrd. He later married Marie Marguerite Zerbe, an elementary school teacher and local physician's daughter. The two had a son, named William Sherwood Winneshiek, who would later fly 49 B-17 missions over Germany during World War II and culminating his military as Director of Communications at NORAD in Colorado Springs, CO. They also had a daughter, Doris Winona Winneshiek who became a nurse and writer.
