Kerri Woelke (born August 15, 1977) is a Folk/Roots/Alt-Country singer-songwriter from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She is currently represented by Signpost Music.

Biography
Manitoba born, the child of fun-loving 60's musician mother and a poetic (but tone deaf) father, Kerri showed her artistic promise early. Her parents gave her a karaoke machine during her elementary school years, and by the time she emerged from her room for her high school graduation, she was ready to begin sharing her music with the public. At her parents' insistence ("You need to learn to back yourself up!"), and to her roommate's distress, Kerri taught herself to play guitar while attending college. Relegated to the tiny dorm bathroom to practice, she emerged from this experience determined to offer her growing repertoire of originals with a wider audience. The next years were spent honing her craft with the bands Dirty Old Hank and Gretchen, playing at Manitoba festivals and on the CBC. In 2005, Kerri switched to a solo singer–songwriter format, won the Manitoba Christian Talent Search, and recorded her first solo album (self-titled – released February 2007). That project received 2 Covenant Award nominations, Folk/Roots Album of the Year, and CD Design of the Year (designed by Cyndi Koshowski) as well as a Western Canadian Music Award (WCMA) for Outstanding Christian Recording. Kerri is presently an Artist in Development with Canadian indie label Signpost Music. She continues touring across Canada, and has completed her second album Where We Were which was released in September 2008.

Kunigunde's father was a bitter rival with Wenceslaus II of Bohemia who was King of Poland between 1291 and 1305. Life was dangerous for Kunigunde, her mother and her siblings during this time, she, her mother and two of her siblings had to go into hiding for a while during 1300. In 1305, Wenceslaus II died and was succeeded by his son, Wenceslaus III of Bohemia. Wenceslaus III reigned for a year before he was assassinated under mysterious circumstances so his campaign of Poland ended. His wife, Viola Elisabeth of Cieszyn had not bore him any children so his successor was Władysław.

In 1318, Władysław embarked on a coronation campaign. The pope, though initially unwilling, finally granted his approval and so Kunigunde's parents were crowned King and Queen of Poland on 30 January 1320 in Kraków.

Bolko II of Świdnica (d.1368), succeeded his father.

Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators has broadened in scope to include indicators that span the three pillars of sustainability. National NGOs, as well as the Government of Canada, create and maintain Sustainability indicators.

Historically Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) was the name of a Government of Canada program that provides data and information to track Canada's performance on environmental sustainability issues including climate change and air quality, water quality and availability, and protecting nature. Their environmental indicators are based on objective and comprehensive information and convey environmental trends.

Environment and Climate Change Canada

The indicators are prepared with the support of other federal government departments, such as Health Canada, Statistics Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, as well as provincial and territorial government departments. Designed to be relevant to the Government's policy, the indicators are built on rigorous methodology and high quality, regularly available data from surveys and monitoring networks.

The CESI website presence ensures that national, regional, local and international trends are readily accessible and transparently presented to all Canadians through the use of graphics, explanatory text, interactive maps and downloadable data. Indicator results are linked to their key social and economic drivers and information is provided on how the issues are influenced by consumers, businesses and governments. Each indicator is accompanied by a technical explanation of its calculation.

CESI is the prime instrument to measure the progress of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy and responds to Environment Canada's commitments under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and the Department of the Environment Act to report to Canadians on the state of the environment.

Green Score City Index

This municipal index uses Canadian environmental sustainability indicator data sources to develop indicators that are specific to the municipalities they measure. These indicators are prepared with support from the Canadian government, provincial governments, regional authorities, and participating municipalities. Most of the data used to calculate the comparative indicators exist outside of the jurisdictional boundaries of municipalities.

The Green Score City Index is an ongoing empirical study of the anthropogenic impacts cities exert on land and ecosystems within city limits. Indicators measure the effects of human activity on the underlying land inside city limits.  It uses a broad range of indicators that cover the three pillars of sustainability. It uses comparative indicators that are developed for the purpose of comparing cities with each other to discover strengths and weaknesses; this is what makes it a good tool for seeing the big picture.

ICLEI Canada
Develops national programs with a local impact. Their network is made up of the municipalities that participate in our programs and activities, representing Canada’s municipalities from the smallest towns to the largest cities. It also includes an implementation of partners, funders, and peers who help deliver a range of programs and activities.

ICLEI has created international guidelines for the creation of environmental sustainability indicators. Performance indicators are used across a variety of sectors to improve understanding of a particular situation, to assess progress towards a set of goals or objectives, and to make predictions regarding future performance. The purpose of this series of sector-focused case studies was to examine available indicators from a variety of sectors and assess their ability to contribute to the measurement of adaptation actions both in terms of effectiveness and progress on implementation. Developed by ICLEI Canada and the Clean Air Partnership, this project was funded by Natural Resources Canada’s Enhancing Competitiveness in a Changing Climate Program.

History
The indicators are the culmination of a long line of national-level environmental indicator work and state of the environment reporting in Canada.  Three large 5-year state-of-environment reports were prepared by Environment Canada between 1985 and 1996 and the National Environmental Indicators Series saw reports and bulletins released from 1990 to 2003.

Environment Canada's focus turned to a consolidated May 2003 proposal from the National Round Table on Environment and the Economy. The CESI initiative provided indicators to track Canada's performance on three issues of concern to Canadians: air quality, water quality and greenhouse gas emissions. More recent releases include new indicators on protecting nature.

Environmental indicators provide a simple way to convey complex information on the environment, much like the gross domestic product, the consumer price index and the unemployment rate do for the economy. Environmental indicator programs are prevalent internationally (e.g. the European Environment Agency)and within Canada (e.g. Quebec)

In 2015 Green Score Canada created a city index pilot project with the participation from many of the 50 municipalities studied which included collaboration from provincial and federal government stakeholders. The index started with 15 Canadian environmental sustainability indicators. The index has been continuously developed and published since 2016.

He landed with his battalion in San Carlos bay on 21 May.  Due to the lack of transport helicopters, lost when the transport ship Atlantic Conveyor was sunk, the battalion had to cover the difficult terrain on foot. 3PARA was engaged in one of the fiercest encounters of the war in the Battle of Mount Longdon. His men suffered heavy casualties taking the mountain in a battle that lasted from 9pm to 7am the next day. Pike was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his "cool example and inspiring leadership". The award was recommended by the brigade commander, Brigadier Julian Thompson, and "Very strongly recommended" by the other senior commanders, Major General Jeremy Moore, Lieutenant General Sir Richard Trant and Admiral Sir John Fieldhouse.

Augustin Bubník (21 November 1928 – 18 April 2017) was a Czech ice hockey player for the Czechoslovak national team. He won a silver medal at the 1948 Winter Olympics. He also played in the 1947 and 1949 World Championships, of which Czechoslovakia won both. He later worked as an ice hockey coach and was elected as an MP to the lower chamber of the Czech Parliament from the Civic Democratic Party. He also worked as the ice hockey coach of the Finnish National Team from 1966 to 1969, and was later inducted into the Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame.

Biography

Early life
Augustin Bubník was born on the 21 November 1928 in Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic. He grew up in Prague and played hockey for the LTC Praha Sports club. In 1947, he became a member of the Czechoslovakia national hockey team. The team won silver at the 1948 Winter Olympics in Saint-Moritz, Switzerland. In 1949, the team became World Champions.

Life under Communism
After the Czechoslovak National Hockey Team won the World Championship in 1949, the following year they were forced to give up their spot in the championship. State Security arrested all of the hockey team members, including Bubník. A trial with fabricated charges was brought against the entire team in 1950. Bubník was convicted of "treason", "subversion of the state" and "espionage". He was then sentenced to fourteen years in prison. He served time in a variety of prisons and in the uranium mines in the Jáchymov district and in Bytíz. President Zápotocký granted him amnesty and he was released in January 1955. Afterwards, the Regime only allowed him to play in the minor hockey leagues, so he turned to coaching.

In the mid- to late-1960s, Bubník managed to move to Finland, where he coached the Finnish National Team. He also helped develop hockey in general in Finland as well. In 1968, Bubník was officially rehabilitated, and in 1989, he finally received full social recognition.

Death and legacy
In 2004, Bubník was inducted into the Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame. In the early 2000s, he was interviewed by the non-profit Post Bellum for their Stories of the 20th Century Project. Bubník died on 18 April 2017, at the age of 88.

This is a comprehensive discography of Danzig, an American heavy metal band, started in 1987 by former Misfits and Samhain vocalist Glenn Danzig. The band has released eleven studio albums, one live album, one compilation album, two EPs and twenty-four singles.

History
Danzig traces its beginnings back to July 14, 1986, when Samhain performed at The Ritz in New York City. In attendance was Rick Rubin, who was scouting for potential bands to sign to his record label, Def Jam. Upon viewing Samhain's performance, Rubin was impressed with Glenn Danzig's powerful stage persona and vocal abilities. He met him after the show and propositioned him. At first, he wished only to sign Danzig, with the intent of making him the vocalist for a hard rock supergroup that Rubin envisioned. However, Danzig refused to sign to Rubin's label without Samhain's bassist, Eerie Von, with whom Danzig had become great friends. Rubin agreed to sign Samhain, and he began making suggestions for the new direction he felt the band should take. Rubin felt the music should be stripped down, and that Danzig's vocal talents should become the focal point for the band.

In 1987, the band evolved into a solid hard rock act, with the addition of John Christ on guitar and Chuck Biscuits on drums. To reflect the change in musical direction, and to avoid having to ever start anew in the event of future lineup changes, Danzig decided to change the name of Samhain to his own surname, Danzig. In 1988, the band issued its eponymous first album on Rubin's then-new label Def American (later renamed to American Recordings). The album featured polished production by Rubin, with heavy, blues-based guitar riffs and Danzig's powerful and melodic vocal performance—a harsh contrast to the gritty, raw-sounding production of Samhain's albums. Two years later, Danzig released their second album Lucifuge.

By 1992, Rubin's involvement with the band had waned and Danzig himself took credit for co-producing the third album, Danzig III: How the Gods Kill. In May 1993, the band released the Thrall-Demonsweatlive EP, which contained several live tracks from the band's 1992 Halloween show, as well as three new studio tracks. The EP provided a hit for the band when the live version of "Mother" (a song from the first Danzig album) became popular on hard rock radio stations. A new version of the "Mother" music video was created using live footage, and the video became a hit on MTV as well, pushing Danzig into the mainstream. After an October 4, 1994 show in the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles, the band received two gold awards for an excess of 500,000 units sold both for their debut album and Thrall-Demonsweatlive.

In the fall of 1994, Danzig issued their fourth album, which was also successful and spawned the singles "Until You Call on the Dark" and "Cantspeak". However, shortly before the release of that album, Biscuits left the band and was replaced by future Queens of the Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo.

In 1995, Danzig began to fall apart when Christ and Eerie Von decided to quit the group, leaving Glenn the only remaining original member. Many lineup changes happened since and Danzig released six more albums: Blackacidevil (1996), Satan's Child (1999), I Luciferi (2002), Circle of Snakes (2004) and Deth Red Sabaoth (2010). As of February 2014, Danzig is working on a new album.

Danzig also recorded the song "Black Hell" for the soundtrack to the 2011 film The Hangover Part II.

Danzig's commented on record singles and the band's approach to releasing singles in America: "Singles? We don't do that in America. Maybe there will be for the European market. In America only people like Madonna and N'Sync record singles."

The Manor House Resort Hotel, also known as the Manor House Country Hotel, is a hotel near Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It occupies a former manor house which dates to the 19th century.  A four star hotel, its facilities include a swimming pool, gymnasium, restaurants and conference centre.

History
Captain John Irvine, whose brother was Colonel Christopher Irvine of Castle Irvine, acquired the Killadeas estate in 1660. The house was then known as Rockfield. The name was changed to Killadeas Manor House by Major John Irvine, who acquired Killadeas in 1835 and died in 1860. During World War II, the building was requisitioned by the government and used as an officers' mess and headquarters for the nearby Killadeas seaplane base. The house, described by Mark Bence-Jones as being of "Victorian Italianate" design, was sold in 1957 for conversion to a hotel. Subject to renovation in 2002, as of 2016, the hotel was owned by members of the McKenna family.

Joseph Meeks (September 4, 1771 – July 21, 1868) was a furniture maker in New York City who founded what would become a large firm that produced good quality furniture from 1797 to 1869.

In 1833 the firm published a broadside with an illustration of the firm's building and 39 illustrations, mostly of furniture, but also of window drapery. The furniture is in simplified American Empire style. The broadside includes prices and was intended to be a catalog that consumers could use to order furniture from Meeks. Instead, judging by the large quantities of furniture in the style of the broadside either not signed or known to be by other cabinet makers (e.g. Thomas Day (North Carolina) all over the east coast of the United States, Meeks's broadside was often used by customers to specify to local cabinet makers what was wanted.

Later in Meeks's career, the firm produced Rococo Revival furniture.

The Apostolic Faith Mission Church of God is a Pentecostal Christian denomination founded in 1906 by F. W. Williams. In 2005, there were 10,730 members in 18 congregations.

Williams was a black man who went to Los Angeles to participate in the revival there. While in Los Angeles, he was baptized by William J. Seymour. He later returned to the South, and converted the members of a Primitive Baptist Church there. The members of the church gave Williams their building as the new meeting house for his church. In 1915, Williams adopted a nontrinitarian view and formally separate from Seymour's church, and renamed his new church.

The church places an emphasis on faith healing. It also permits the ordination of women preachers and practices foot washing in its communion rite. It considers any baptism performed without the words "the Lord Jesus Christ" to be void. Alcohol, drugs, and tobacco are forbidden to its members. Members are also advised to only marry other persons who have been "saved".

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) 2017 census, the town had a population of 876.

Location
Deir Nidham is located    northwest of Ramallah. It is bordered by Umm Safa and Kobar  to the east, Nabi Salih and Bani Zeid to the north, 'Abud and Bani Zeid  to the west, and Al-Itihad to the south.

History
Sherds have been found here from the   Byzantine,  Crusader/Ayyubid and  Mamluk eras.

Ottoman era
In 1517,  the village was included in the Ottoman empire with the rest of Palestine,  and in the  1596 tax-records it appeared as Dayr an-Nidam,   located  in the Nahiya of Jabal Quds of the Liwa of Al-Quds.  The population was 4 households, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax rate of 25%  on agricultural products, which included wheat, barley,  olive trees, vineyards and fruit trees, goats and beehives in addition to "occasional revenues"; a total of 1200 akçe. Sherds from the early   Ottoman era has also been found here.

In 1863 Victor Guérin visited and described it as being  half ruined and inhabited only by a hundred fellahins. Several cisterns, partially filled, and a number of antique stones, scattered on the ground or reused, proved to him  that it  had succeeded a former locality. An Ottoman  village list from about 1870 found that the village had  a population of 59, in a total of  17  houses, though the population count included men, only.

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A small hamlet on a high point, with olives round it. It is just above the ruins of Tibneh, and water is obtained from the 'Ain Tibneh."

In 1896 the population of  Der en-nizam was estimated to be about 147 persons.

British era

In  the  1945 statistics  the population was 190 Muslims, while the total land area was 1,938  dunams, according to an official land and population survey. Of  this,  514  were  plantations and irrigable land, 483  for cereals, while 31 dunams were classified as built-up areas.

Jordanian era
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Deir Nidham came  under Jordanian rule.

The Jordanian census of 1961 found 267 inhabitants.

1967-present
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Deir Nidham  has been under  Israeli occupation. The population in the 1967 census conducted by the Israeli authorities was 216.

After  the 1995 accords, 4.7% of village land is defined as Area B land, while the remaining 95.3 is defined as Area C. In 1997 Israel  confiscated 604 dunums of village land for the Israeli settlement of Halamish.

A secondary school exists in Deir Nidham and high school students are educated at a nearby village. Most university students attend Birzeit University or the al-Quds Open University. The electricity network in the village is affiliated with that of Jerusalem, while its water network is managed by the Palestinian National Authority. A village council of seven members was established in 2005 to govern the village.

On March 12, 2009, television personality Jim Cramer appeared as a guest on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The host of CNBC's Mad Money, Cramer appeared in response to host Jon Stewart's highly publicized week-long criticism of CNBC. The exchange began with a scathing piece on CNBC's miscalculations regarding the financial crisis of 2007–2008 in response to CNBC commentator Rick Santelli, who had recently said on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade that homeowners facing foreclosure were "losers". Santelli had been set to appear on the show, but CNBC canceled Santelli's appearance. Stewart, along with Daily Show executives, claimed the CNBC montage was not retaliatory and that they planned to show it before the cancellation was announced.

Subsequent media coverage of exchanges between Cramer (who had been featured heavily in the original segment) and Stewart led to a highly anticipated face-to-face confrontation on Stewart's show. The episode received a large amount of media hype, and it became the second most-viewed episode of The Daily Show, trailing only the 2009 Inauguration Day episode. It had 2.3 million total viewers, and the next day The Daily Show website saw its highest day of traffic year-to-date.

Background

March 4 segment
On March 4, The Daily Show aired an eight-minute clip lampooning CNBC at the beginning of a segment in response to an outburst by Rick Santelli broadcast from the floor of the Chicago exchange.  In it, Stewart implied that CNBC's commentary was overly optimistic or too strongly slanted in favor of the companies being discussed by featuring several clips of CNBC pundits accompanied by slides showing the eventual failure of their predictions.  In one clip, a CNBC host reported American International Group (AIG) would not need capital, which The Daily Show followed with a list of the bailout money—amounting to billions of dollars—that the financial services firm had required since September 2008.  On-air editor Charles Gasparino was shown saying in December 2007 how AIG's subprime losses were "very manageable", which was followed with a clip showing that AIG had also received a large amount of federal bailout money. Commentator Larry Kudlow was shown saying in April 2008 that "the worst of this subprime business is over."

In another clip, Jim Cramer was shown simply affirming "Your money is safe in Bear Stearns", followed by a Daily Show statement that the global investment bank went under six days later. "If I'd only followed CNBC's advice, I'd have a million dollars today", Stewart said during the piece, "provided I'd started with a hundred million dollars."

March 5 comments
On March 5, Stewart appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, where he continued his criticism. Stewart said, "The thing that upsets me the most, honestly, there are three 24-hour financial networks. All their slogans are like, 'We know what's going on in Wall Street.' But then you turn it on during the crisis, and they're like, 'We don't know what's going on!' It'd be like turning on The Weather Channel in a hurricane, and they're just doing this: 'Why am I wet? What's happening to me? And it's so windy! What's going on, I'm scared!' How do you not know, man?"

March 9 comments
On March 9, during a segment of Mad Money, Cramer admitted,

OK, I'm a tempting target. Plenty of people come in and give their criticism on this show. But we're dealing with serious issues here; we need solutions, which I offer almost every night. I don't want ad hominem attacks. Take The New York Times columnist Frank Rich and Jon Stewart; I criticize Obama, so both of them seize on the urban legend that I recommended Bear Stearns the week before it collapsed, when I simply told an e-mailer that the deposit in his account at Bear Stearns was safe. 'Your money is safe in Bear Stearns,'

Cramer repeated, referring to his own quote during a March 11, 2008 segment of Mad Money. Moreover, Cramer outlined,

But through a clever sound bite, Stewart, and subsequently Rich—neither of whom have bothered to listen to the context of the pulled quote—pass off the notion of account safety as an out-and-out buy recommendation. If you called Mad Money and asked me about Citigroup, I would tell you that the common stock might be worthless, but I would never tell you to pull your money out of the bank because I was worried about its solvency. Your money is safe in Citi as I said it was in Bear. The fact that I was right rankles me even more.

On the episode of The Daily Show that night, Stewart jokingly responded with an apology for taking Cramer's comments out of context. "OK, I was wrong. So Jim Cramer, I apologize," Stewart said.  He then promptly showcased video of Cramer suggesting the safety of Bear Stearns stock during the Lightning Round on Mad Money, eleven days prior to the collapse of Bear Stearns. Stewart then stated, "He's not saying literally 'I'm asking you to buy Bear Stearns'; for that you have to go back a full seven weeks before the stock completely collapsed." Stewart then showed additional video footage of Cramer on January 24, 2008 telling TheStreet.com TV viewers to specifically "buy Bear Stearns" stock seven weeks before it collapsed.  A clip showed Cramer's stating that he liked the stock at prices above $60, and later on February 5, 2008, Cramer changed Bear Stearns' rating to a Sell on TheStreet.com.

March 10 comments
During a Tuesday appearance on NBC's Today show, Cramer said of The Daily Show piece, "The absurdity astounds me. Jon Stewart is a comedian, and he's decided to focus on some calls I made during a bull market. The guy is a comedian."

Also on March 10, Cramer appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Commentator Joe Scarborough weighed in on the feud, criticizing Stewart and The Daily Show for being unfair to those ideologically opposed to Stewart: "I would like to see Jon Stewart come out and tell us what he believes in. Tell us where America needs to go in the future. And let us take a microphone around and a camera around with him 24 hours a day for a couple of months and then we can edit out all the mistakes he makes. It's very easy to shoot at the arena."

All of Cramer's daytime appearances took place on channels owned by NBCUniversal, CNBC's parent company.  On The Daily Show that night, Stewart mocked NBC's corporate PR strategy by humorously being digitally inserted into Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer and MTV's The Hills, both of which air on networks owned by Viacom, the parent company of Comedy Central and The Daily Show.

March 11 comments

Cramer defended himself in a column published on March 11, which claimed that Stewart's criticism of Cramer had taken his words out of context. Regarding Stewart's comments about Cramer and Bear Stearns, Cramer wrote that he was simply reassuring viewers that their liquidity held in Bear Stearns was safe.  He also said that he had told his viewers to sell all their stocks in October 2008.

The March 11 episode of The Daily Show only briefly mentioned the controversy by featuring a montage of various network news personalities repeatedly characterizing Stewart and Cramer's back-and-forth as a "war of words", "full-blown war" and "anchor war," which Stewart called a "largely manufactured battle."  Stewart also announced that Cramer would appear on the show on the following night.

March 12 comments
On March 12, the morning of his interview on The Daily Show, Cramer appeared as a guest on the syndicated cooking show Martha (distributed by CNBC's parent company, NBCUniversal).  Cramer revealed trepidation to Martha Stewart about his upcoming appearance that night: "I'm a little nervous ... How bad is it gonna be? Is he gonna kill me?"  Cramer continued that he had previously idolized Jon Stewart: "The reason why it's been so hard for me, the attacks, is that early on I patterned my show off of his, which is that you can do an entertainment business show. And then suddenly to be attacked by a guy that's your idol makes it difficult."

Cramer on The Daily Show
On March 12, Jim Cramer appeared on The Daily Show with Stewart amid widespread media publicity that included a front-page article in USA Today.

Stewart claimed CNBC shirked its journalistic duty by simply accepting information given to it by corporations, rather than playing an investigative role as a "powerful tool of illumination." Stewart stated his belief that such failure was due to too much emphasis on entertainment value and a lacking sense of journalistic responsibility.

Stewart aired archive footage of Cramer admitting to the ease of manipulating markets and commented that Cramer's on-air personality lacks honesty:

I understand you want to make finance entertaining, but it's not a fucking game. And when I watch that, I get, I can't tell you how angry that makes me. Because what it says to me is: you all know. You all know what's going on. You know, you can draw a straight line from those shenanigans to the stuff that was being pulled at Bear, and AIG, and all this derivative market stuff that is this weird Wall Street side bet.

Stewart said of Cramer in particular, "I can't reconcile the brilliance and knowledge that you have of the intricacies of the market with the crazy bullshit I see you do every night."

Cramer disagreed with Stewart on a few points, but mostly acknowledged that he could have done a better job foreseeing the economic collapse: "We all should have seen it more."  Not content with his explanation, Stewart showed videos in which Cramer recommended ways to drive down stock prices by spreading false rumors, deceiving the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and deliberately misleading journalists. Cramer admitted that he can do better, and that he can change. He also pointed out the mass illusion on Wall Street and the finance industry in general that, in the words of former Merrill Lynch CEO Stanley O'Neal, "fixed income and credit (i.e. the economy) were no longer cyclical in nature", and that this illusion had permeated Wall Street and all other industries connected to it, including the finance networks.

Stewart also fired back at Joe Scarborough by telling Cramer to relay the message that the nature of The Daily Shows satire is not to be fair. In addition, Stewart apologized to Cramer for the personalized nature of the media coverage by saying,

You now have become the face of this, and that is incredibly unfortunate. Because you're not the face of it, you shouldn't be the face of it. You were the person that was, uh, I-don't-know-what enough to stand up and go, 'Hey, that wasn't fair!' Which it's not, because this show isn't fair, and you can tell 'Doucheborough' it isn't supposed to be fair.

The interview ended with Stewart suggesting, "Maybe we can remove 'In Cramer We Trust' and go back to the fundamentals and I can go back to making fart noises and funny faces." Cramer responded: "I think we make that deal right here."

Reactions to the interview
Much of the exchange including the interview had become a viral internet meme by March 13, and Stewart was given positive reactions by many mainstream media sources, with certain newspapers such as the San Francisco Chronicle and New York Times portraying Stewart as "winning" the debate. A blog by Maureen Ryan from the Chicago Tribune website was titled "Stewart cleans Cramer's clock", and ABCNews.com titled an article on the confrontation "Jon Stewart Wins Cramer Showdown". The New York Times reported that, "For his part, a chastened Mr. Cramer, much more subdued than on his own show, took turns apologizing, defending his past coverage and promising to try and get back to the basics of financial reporting in the future."

News outlets generally hailed Stewart's journalistic integrity during the interview.  A mention in Newsweek reported, "Cramer's excuse: CEOs lied. Stewart's retort: act like a real journalist. Stewart did."  James Fallows of The Atlantic contended that, "Stewart, without excessive showboating, did the journalistic sensibility proud."  Director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism Tom Rosenstiel stated his belief that it was Stewart's ambiguous position between news and comedy that allowed him to call out CNBC so aggressively.

Referring to Stewart's interview with Cramer, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, "I enjoyed it thoroughly." He added that he had spoken with President Barack Obama on the day before about watching the show, but that he "forgot to e-mail and remind him that it was on", so he could not tell whether Obama had seen the segment.

Some sources also felt that Stewart's anger was a reflection of a general attitude held by the American public, such as Jon Friedman of MarketWatch. David Folkenflik of NPR stated,

Others felt that Stewart's anger was unwarranted or misdirected.  Richard Cohen of The Washington Post called it a "cheap shot at business media".  In an article from The Daily Beast, Tucker Carlson, whose own cable television show was cancelled after a similar encounter with Stewart on Crossfire in 2004, criticized Stewart for having illogical arguments. Carlson also implied that Stewart was attacking CNBC because he was unwilling to go after the new Democratic administration as he had in the past with the administration under George W. Bush.

Impact
Though Cramer's appearance on The Daily Show had been hyped by NBC in the lead up to Cramer's appearance, CNBC declined to comment directly following its airing. Instead, CNBC issued a broad statement in defense of its track record:

Recognized as the worldwide leader in business news, CNBC produces more than 150 hours of live television a week that includes more than 850 interviews in the service of exposing all sides of every critical financial and economic issue. We are proud of our record and remain committed to delivering coverage in real-time during this extraordinary story and beyond.

Insiders at CNBC, however, privately acknowledged that the interview was ultimately a public relations disaster for the network; viewership went down 10% in the first three days after the interview. In a conference held March 18, the CEO of NBC Universal, Jeff Zucker, called Stewart's attacks on business network CNBC "incredibly unfair" and "completely out of line".

Days after the airing of the program, a group of economists and progressives issued an open letter to CNBC and called for public signatures. The letter demanded that the network set higher journalistic standards and said that, "Americans need CNBC to do strong, watchdog journalism — asking tough questions to Wall Street ... Instead, CNBC has done PR for Wall Street."  The letter was signed by a variety of economists and journalists, such as Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research and Doug Henwood, author of Wall Street and After the New Economy.  Funded by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a political action committee focused on electing progressive Democrats in congressional elections, the group also launched a website, fixcnbc.com. Their stated goal was to persuade CNBC executives to prioritize investigative financial journalism over Wall Street "access".

In a May 2011 interview with The New York Times, Cramer explained that he was unprepared for Stewart's intense interview, saying

As soon as he started, I realized Stewart was on a mission to make me look like a clown. I didn't defend myself because I wasn't prepared. What was I supposed to do, talk about how often I had been right? Praise myself? Get mad? I was mad, but I didn't want to give the audience any blood. The national media said I got crushed, which I did, and made me into a buffoon ... They wanted to make me the Face of the Era, and they succeeded. Rick Santelli's a conservative. Ideological. O.K., I get that. But me? I was very anti-Bush. I'm a Democrat, I've got the canceled checks to prove it, and suddenly I'm the enemy? Me? Me?

Japonica rice (Oryza sativa subsp. japonica), sometimes called sinica rice, is one of the two major domestic types of Asian rice varieties. Japonica rice is extensively cultivated and consumed in East Asia, whereas in most other regions indica rice is the dominant type of rice. Japonica rice originated from Central China, where it was first domesticated along the Yangtze River basin approximately 9,500 to 6,000 years ago.

Characteristics
Japonica rice grains are rounder, thicker, and harder, compared to longer, thinner, and fluffier indica rice grains. Japonica rice is also stickier due to the higher content of amylopectin, whereas indica rice starch consists of less amylopectin and more amylose. Japonica rice plants are shorter than indica rice plants.

Genetics
Japonica has a large amount of waxy protein and a low amount of the non-waxy type. Non-waxy rice proteins are produced by four alleles, each producing one of four protein subtypes. Japonica is the only source of Type III, shares Type IV with only javanica, and lacks Type I and Type II.

Classification
Japonica rice can be classified into three subgroups, 'temperate japonica', 'tropical japonica' (also known as 'javanica', ), and 'aromatic'. Temperate japonica is cultivated in East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan), while tropical japonica is in Indonesia, Madagascar, and also the Americas where it was brought to with slave trade.

The Eisenbahn und Häfen GmbH (literal "Railway and Port company Ltd.") (abbr. : EH) is a service company providing rail transportation and associated storage as well as operating the Rhine ports of Schwelgern and Walsum-Süd.

The company is owned by ThyssenKrupp and has its headquarters in Duisburg.

Background - operations

Employing approximately 1,300 employees with around 100 million tons of freight is moved per year (~70 million tonnes by rail and ~25 million tonnes of bulk goods handled by the port), the company is responsible for both railway and port operations, management and maintenance.

Railways

With over 90 locomotives and about 2,000 freight cars Eisenbahn und Häfen GmbH operates in the Ruhr area providing rail transportation to its parent Thyssen Krupp as well as other industrial companies including Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann GmbH, Mannesmannröhren-Werke GmbH, Mittal Steel Ruhrort GmbH and TSTG Schienen Technik GmbH & Co. KG. The primary cargos are steel, coke, iron ore and other steel products such as steel slab and coil.

Within the Ruhr area the network is over 500 km in length, with over a thousand switches. As well as fully operating the railway the company carries out infrastructure maintenance and inspection.

Within individual sites the company uses mainly shunting locomotives such as Krauss-Maffei Class MH 05 (522 kW power). The company also has higher powered MaK G 1205 (1,119 kW) and MaK G 1206 (1,500 kW) locomotives which are certified for use on Deutsche Bahn AG lines. Other services include the operation of private sidings, rolling stock maintenance, time-sensitive operations and, in association with other freight companies, supra-regional transportation. As part of the services offered EH implements various systems including centrally operated signalling and switches, central radio communications and control, and time-sensitive  logistics planning.

EH locomotives and some wagons carry a livery of primary yellow and red with blue numbering.

EH Güterverkehr GmbH
EH Güterverkehr GmbH (literally "EH freight", aka EHG) is a subsidiary company operating as a private rail company on open access lines - in 2006 it transported approximately 7 million tons.

Ports
Together the ports help serve the inward and outward flows of material related to the steel industry the organisation primarily serves. Both ports stock control systems are computerised.

Schelwegern port
The main cargo is imported iron ore and coal brought from overseas via Rotterdam and the Rhine. The iron ore and coal is transported in unpowered barges and unloaded by Gantry cranes onto conveyor belts leading the coking plant at Duisburg via grinding and/or sizing equipment in the case of coal, and to blending equipment or storage in the case of iron ore, both ultimately destined for the steel furnaces of Thyssen Krupp. The unloading systems are monitored, assisted, or controlled by computer, with the bulk flows monitored on an IT system.

Additionally there are loading facilities for granulated blast furnace slag. A total ~22million tonnes of material is handled by the port.

Walsum port

Walsum port handles steel products such as rolled steel. In an area of 260,000m2 there are covered loading sheds for rain sensitive materials, as well as outdoor storage areas and access directly to the banks of the Rhine where two 26tonne cranes operate. Both facilities can be accessed by rail links.

Approximately 2.5million tonnes of steel per year are handled by the port.

Additional facilities
An air controlled warehouse at Beeckerwerth with both road and rail links is operated for the storage of ThyssenKrupp steel products. For the railway workshops equipped for wheel turning as well as general overhaul are held.

History, industrial heritage trail and other recreations
The prehistory of the Eisenbahn und Häfen goes back to 1919, with the first port operations at Alsum and Schelwegern, major growth starting in 1926 with the creation of the Stahlwerke AG. At this time the railway and ports were departments of the group itself. In the post war (WWII) era the steel operations were split up which negatively affected the operations of railway and ports as well. In 1953 Thyssen began to re-conglomerate.

The Eisenbahn und Häfen forms part of "The Industrial Heritage Trail of the Ruhr" - a regional tourist project, as part of the Duisburg section.

Locomotives
Historically the Eisenbahn und Häfen operated dual power diesel / electrically operated locomotives. Two of these units are preserved one at the museum at Oberhausen Hauptbahnhof (Oberhausen Central station) another at Westfälischen Industriemuseum Henrichshütte  (Westphalian Industrial Heritage Museum) after being withdrawn. Since 2005 the lines are unelectrified.

The Eisenbahn und Häfen uses  shunters and light freight locomotives.

is a Japanese regional airline headquartered in Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture. It operates a fleet of Embraer E-Jets with three main hubs at Shizuoka Airport, Nagoya Airfield and Kobe Airport. The airline commenced operations on July 23, 2009.

History
Prior to the airline's establishment,  signed a purchase agreement with Embraer on November 30, 2007 for two Embraer E170s for its startup airline, with a purchase right to acquire one additional aircraft. The contract value was estimated to be approximately US$87 million, if the purchase right was exercised. At that time, the yet-to-be-established airline was Embraer's second customer in Japan. Suzuyo later established the airline as Fuji Dream Airlines on June 24, 2008 with an initial capital of ¥450 million, with Yohei Suzuki serving as the airline's president and chief executive officer (CEO).

On October 27, 2008, Embraer received the type certification from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) to operate the Embraer E170 in Japan, with Fuji Dream Airlines receiving its first Embraer E170 on February 20, 2009 as Embraer's second Japanese customer, following J-Air. On June 15, 2009, the contract between Embraer and the airline was amended, allowing for the airline to acquire the larger Embraer E175, which was delivered in January 2010.

The airline's inaugural flight occurred on July 23, 2009, with its initial operations consisting of two daily flights to Komatsu Airport and one daily flight each to Kagoshima and Kumamoto from its home base at Shizuoka Airport. On April 1, 2010, the airline commenced three daily flights between Matsumoto Airport to Fukuoka and one daily flight between Matsumoto and Sapporo Chitose, taking over the services of Japan Airlines (JAL) on the routes as part of a new codeshare agreement.

Fuji Dream's route network expanded further as the airline received new aircraft, including services from Shizuoka and Nagoya Airfield (Nagoya Komaki) to Fukuoka in October 2010, services from Nagoya Komaki to Kumamoto and from Shizuoka to Sapporo Chitose in March 2011, services from Nagoya Komaki to Aomori and Hanamaki in August 2011, and service between Fukuoka and Niigata in October 2011. In January 2013, the airline added Kōchi Airport as a new destination with services from Nagoya Komaki beginning in March 2013. In March 2014, the airline added Yamagata Airport as a new destination with services from Nagoya Komaki. In March 2015, the airline added new service to Izumo and Kitakyushu from Nagoya Komaki. In April 2016, the airline announced service to a second Sapporo airport, with flights to Okadama Airport from Shizuoka beginning in June 2016.

In January 2018, Fuji Dream Airlines announced routes from Izumo to both Shizuoka and Sendai Airport as a new destination, beginning in March and April 2018 respectively. During late 2019, the airline added new routes to Kobe Airport, with services from Izumo, Kochi, and Matsumoto.

Corporate affairs
The head office of Fuji Dream Airlines is in Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka Prefecture. The airline is a wholly owned subsidiary of Suzuyo & Co., Ltd., whose core businesses include domestic and international logistics.

On June 22, 2020, the airline appointed Shunichi Kususe as CEO and Tokuyasu Miwa as company president, following former president and CEO Yohei Suzuki's retirement from the airline.

Destinations

, Fuji Dream Airlines operates or has operated scheduled flights to the following destinations in Japan:

Codeshare agreements
Fuji Dream Airlines has a codeshare agreement with Japan Airlines.

Fleet

, Fuji Dream Airlines operates the following aircraft:

Fleet development
Fuji Dream Airlines launched in July 2009 with an initial fleet of two Embraer E170 aircraft, before receiving its first Embraer E175 aircraft in January 2010 and an additional E170 and E175 in October 2010, with the airline's fleet by then consisting of three E170s and two E175s. The airline's Embraer E175 fleet continued to grow in subsequent years, with orders for one E175 and one purchase right in October 2010, two E175s in December 2012, three E175s with three purchase rights in July 2014, three E175s with three purchase rights in June 2017, and two E175s in June 2019.
