John Herbert Le Patourel  (29 July 1909 – 22 July 1981) was a British medieval historian and professor at the University of Leeds.

Biography
Le Patourel was born on 29 July 1909 in Guernsey, where his father, Herbert Augustus Le Patourel, was the procureur (Attorney General) from 1929 to 1934.  He was educated at Elizabeth College, Guernsey and Jesus College, Oxford where he obtained a BA in Modern History in 1931 followed by a DPhil. In 1939 he married (Hilda Elizabeth) Jean Bird (1915–2011), who became an expert in medieval ceramics and was a Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Leeds from 1967 to 1980. They had a daughter and three sons. His brother, Herbert Wallace Le Patourel, was awarded the Victoria Cross in World War II.

Career
Le Patourel's academic career began at University College, London, where he was appointed Assistant Lecturer in 1933, Lecturer in 1936 and Reader in Medieval History in 1943. In 1945, he became Professor of Medieval History at the University of Leeds, a post he held until 1970.  He was then a Research Professor at Leeds until 1974 when he retired with the title Emeritus Professor.  He was also Director of the Graduate Centre for Medieval Studies from 1967 to 1970.

Le Patourel was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1972. He died on 22 July 1981.

Work
Much of Le Patourel's academic writing concerned the history of Guernsey and the other Channel Islands.  He was Archivist to the Royal Court of Guernsey from 1946 onwards.  His first book, The Medieval Administration of the Channel Islands, was published in 1937, based on his Oxford doctoral thesis. Other works included The Manor and Borough of Leeds, 1066–1400 (1957), The Building of Castle Cornet, Guernsey (1958) and The Norman Empire (1976).  His papers and personal collection of books and materials relating to the Channel Islands was donated to the University of Leeds by his widow. His archives are now held at Special Collections in the Brotherton Library.

He was a founder member of the Guernsey Society, which was established in 1943 to represent the interests of the Nazi-occupied island to the British Authorities.

Legacy
In 1979, the graduate student research office at the Institute for Medieval Studies was named the 'Le Patourel Room' in his honour.

On 18 July 2015, a blue plaque was unveiled at his childhood home in Fosse Andre St Peter Port Guernsey  celebrating the lives of Le Patourel and his brother, Wallace.

Murray Farquhar OBE (7 July 19183 December 1993) was an Australian jurist.  He was the Chief Stipendiary Magistrate of New South Wales between 1971 and 1977.
Farquhar was born in Broken Hill, New South Wales. He attended Broken Hill High School and served in the Australian Army in the Second World War. After his military service, he studied law, practised as a solicitor and was appointed a magistrate in 1962. He was appointed Chief Stipendiary Magistrate in 1971.

He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (Military Division) in January 1967.

A Royal Commission conducted by Sir Laurence Street into the alleged involvement of both Farquhar and Premier of New South Wales Neville Wran in the acquittal of former head of the Australian Rugby League Kevin Humphreys, who was on fraud charges, resulted in Farquhar in March 1985 being sentenced to four years' gaol for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. During his trial, it became clear that Farquhar had deep roots in the criminal community, including connections to George Freeman and Nick Paltos. Much of the investigative work in the Farquhar case was due to the efforts of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Four Corners program and The Sun-Herald newspaper.

In March 1991, Farquhar was acquitted of receiving stolen paintings. He had a fatal heart attack on 3 December 1993 while on trial for conspiracy to obtain stolen passports.

Popular culture
Murray Farquhar was played by John Clayton in the docudrama The Day of the Roses; and by John Wood in the drama series Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities.

C. McAlpine was a 19th-century footballer in England. He played 76 games for Burslem Port Vale, although 30 of those were friendlies, which were more prevalent in that era than today.

Career
McAlpine joined Burslem Port Vale in December 1890, making his debut at the Athletic Ground in a 3–0 friendly defeat to rivals Stoke on 20 December, 1890. He was a first team regular and helped the club share the North Staffordshire Charity Challenge Cup in 1891 and win the Staffordshire Charity Cup in 1892. He managed to sign for Darlington and Vale in the summer of 1892 and was obliged to play for the former as he had given them his signature first; he also picked up a six-week suspension for his error. He returned to Vale in October 1892 and was once more a first team regular, playing ten Second Division games in 1892–93, before leaving for good in February 1893.

Virgil Paul Brennan,  (6 March 1920 – 13 June 1943), also known as Paul Brennan, was an Australian aviator and flying ace of the Second World War. Enlisting in the Royal Australian Air Force in November 1940, he briefly served in the European Theatre before transferring to Malta. Over the next five months, Brennan was officially credited with the destruction of 10 Axis aircraft from a total of twenty-four operational sorties. Reposted to England, he was assigned as a flying instructor and collaborated in the writing of Spitfires over Malta, a book about his experiences on the island. Returning to Australia in 1943, Brennan was killed in a flying accident at Garbutt, Queensland, in June that year.

Early life
Brennan was born in Warwick, Queensland, on 6 March 1920 to Edgar James Brennan, a solicitor, and his wife Katherine (née O'Sullivan). He was educated at the Christian Brothers' School in Warwick, before moving on to Downlands College at Toowoomba and later Brisbane State High School. After leaving school, Brennan studied part-time at the University of Queensland, while simultaneously being employed as a law clerk in Brisbane.

Second World War
On 8 November 1940, Brennan enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force for service during the Second World War. Accepted for pilot training, he received his initial flight instruction in Australia. He later embarked for Canada, where he completed his flight training before being posted to the United Kingdom in August 1941, where he was appointed to an Operational Training Unit. On graduating from this course, he was allotted to No. 64 Squadron RAF. During this time, he was advanced to temporary flight sergeant on 4 January 1942, prior to receiving a posting to the Mediterranean Theatre the following month.

Malta
On arrival in the Mediterranean, Brennan was posted to No. 249 Squadron RAF. On 7 March 1942, Brennan was one of fifteen pilots sent to the island of Malta. Flying Supermarine Spitfires, the party took off from the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle; they were to spend the next few months in the defence of the island. As the Axis forces commenced a major aerial assault on Malta later that month, the Allied fighter pilots on the island were forced to "contend with fatigue and inadequate rations while battling the enemy's superior forces". On 17 March, Brennan claimed his first aerial victory when he shot down a Messerschmitt 109.

On 20 April 1942, Brennan added a further two aircraft to his tally when he destroyed a Messerschmitt 109, before bringing down a Junkers 88 later that day. Praised as "a most determined and courageous pilot", Brennan was subsequently recommended for the Distinguished Flying Medal. The announcement and accompanying citation for the award was published in a supplement to the London Gazette on 22 May 1942, reading:

Brennan scored further aerial victories on 10 May. The following day, German Luftwaffe General Albert Kesselring ordered a contingent of 20 Stukas and 10 Junkers Ju 88s with a small escort of fighter aircraft to bomb Grand Harbour, Malta. A formation of 50 Royal Air Force aircraft—37 Spitfires and 13 Hawker Hurricanes—were dispatched to intercept the group; Brennan was piloting one of the Spitfires. Attacking one of the Stukas, Brennan later recorded that the aircraft "disintegrated, with huge chunks flying off in every direction". During the battle, a total of 14 German aircraft were shot down, for the loss of 2 Spitfires. In an engagement the next day, Brennan was wounded in his left arm. He was commissioned as a pilot officer later that month.

By the conclusion of his combat tour in July 1942, Brennan had flown a total of twenty-two operational sorties and was credited with destroying 10 Axis aircraft over Malta, with one probably destroyed and a further 6 damaged. For his efforts in the destruction of Axis aircraft during this period, Brennan was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. The notification of the decoration was published in a supplement to the London Gazette on 6 October 1942.

Later war service and death
Embarking from Malta during July 1942, Brennan returned to the United Kingdom and was posted to No. 52 Operational Training Unit as an instructor with the rank of acting flight lieutenant. During this period, Brennan and fellow No. 249 Squadron pilot, Pilot Officer Raymond Hesselyn, collaborated with journalist Henry Bateson on writing Spitfires over Malta, a novel relating the experiences of Brennan and Hesselyn during their time on Malta. On 17 April 1943, Brennan was repatriated from the United Kingdom and returned to Australia.

Arriving back in Australia, Brennan was posted to the newly raised No. 79 Squadron, based at Laverton, Victoria, on 1 May 1943. Later that month, the squadron was ordered to deploy to Goodenough Island, near New Guinea. During this time, Brennan related his previous combat experiences to fellow pilots, however his commanding officer, Squadron Leader Alan Rawlinson, noted that Brennan appeared "strained and tired". An advance party of the squadron was moved up to Goodenough Island that month, while the pilots followed during June.

On 13 June 1943, the pilots of No. 79 Squadron continued on their journey north, arriving at Garbutt airfield in Queensland. At approximately 14:00, Brennan landed his Spitfire in the wake turbulence of the aircraft ahead of himself and touched down on the left side of the runway. Brennan was informed that he was cutting in on the path of the Spitfire following him, which was to land on the right side of the runway. Brennan landed his aircraft short, and at the conclusion of his landing run turned across the path of the second Spitfire. In the ensuing collision, Brennan sustained severe injuries and was rushed to hospital; he died before arrival. Described as one with "an easy-going nature, an engaging sense of humour and ... loyal to his friends", Brennan was buried in Townsville War Cemetery.

Daniel Robertson Ramsay (1864 – before 1945) was an English professional footballer who played in the English Football League for Stoke, Northwich Victoria and Burslem Port Vale. He played in Stoke's first ever Football league team.

Career

Stoke
Ramsay joined Burslem Port Vale in April 1886, and played regular football until moving to Stoke in August 1888. He made his first-team debut on 8 September 1888, at wing-half for Stoke in a 2–0 defeat by West Bromwich Albion at the Victoria Ground. After going 21 games without scoring in 1888–89, as the "Potters" finished bottom of the English Football League in the first ever season of the competition, he scored the club's first league hat-trick in a 7–1 win over Accrington at the Victoria Ground. He scored a total of five goals in 26 appearances in 1889–90, having hit the net against Burnley and Old Westminsters.

Later career
He then played for Newton Heath and West Manchester, before joining Northwich Victoria in 1892. He scored three goals in 27 appearances across the 1892–93 season, and then two goals in eight games as Northwich were relegated out of the Second Division at the end of the 1893–94 season. He rejoined Burslem Port Vale in October 1893. He was a first team player, but was limited to 16 Second Division appearances in 1893–94 because his knee kept going out of joint, and he was released in May 1894.

The IX Tactical Air Command was a formation of the United States Army Air Forces. It fought in the European theater of World War II. Its last assignment was  at Camp Shanks, New York, where it was inactivated on 25 October 1945.

History
Formed in the United Kingdom during 1943 as the IX Air Support Command, its primary role was to provide close air support for the U.S. First Army. Re-designated as the IX Tactical Air Command in April 1944, its initial missions included interdicting transportation, disrupting communications and destroying warehouses and supply dumps in occupied France and the Low Countries in preparation for the Normandy Invasion in June. Targets included bridges, road junctions, railroads, airfields, radio towers and telephone exchanges. Engaging enemy aircraft in the air and establishing air superiority was another priority.

After the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944, IX Tactical Air Command Republic P-47 Thunderbolts concentrated on enemy targets in the Cotentin Peninsula area and afterward supported Operation Cobra, the breakout of Normandy. Paying particular attention to German forces in the Falaise-Argentan Gap, targets were expanded to include tanks, vehicles of all types and troop formations.  Many times targets of opportunity on the ground were spontaneously attacked when spotted. Coordinated attacks were made with Allied ground forces, especially when they were being held up by strong defenses. Thunderbolts dropped bombs at low level, made rocket attacks and strafed enemy positions with demoralizing effect.

Wing headquarters and subordinate units operated primarily from liberated airfields and temporary Advanced Landing Grounds. Moving into north-central France, its groups attacked enemy targets near Paris and then concentrated its activity north-west across Belgium and into the southern Netherlands.   In December 1944 and January 1945 it engaged targets on the north flank of the Battle of the Bulge, then concentrated eastward into the Northern Rhineland as part of the Western Allied invasion of Germany.

The First Army was closely supported as it crossed the Rhine River at Remagen after which attacks were made on ground targets in the Ruhr district where air support was given to Allied forces that had encircled a large concentration of German troops in the Ruhr Pocket. That operation essentially ended organized enemy resistance in western Germany. The First Army halted its advance at the Elbe River in late April 1945 after which the wing engaged targets of opportunity in enemy-controlled areas until the fighting ended on 5 May 1945.

The IX Tactical Air Command remained in Europe after the war as part of United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), performing occupation duty and the destruction or shipment to the United States of captured enemy combat equipment. Assigned units also performed air defense duty over the American Zone of Occupation.  It returned to the United States and was inactivated during October 1945.

Kenny Yuko (born August 1, 1950) is an American politician and union activist who served as a member of the Ohio Senate, representing the 25th District. Previously, he was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, representing the 7th District from 2005 to 2012. Yuko was a political and union activist for more than two decades.

Early life and education
Yuko grew up in Euclid, Ohio and graduated from Brush High School. He attended Cuyahoga Community College and Kent State University.

Career

Yuko began his career as a buyer for Polsky's Department Store, and went on to the Laborers’ Local #860 for 30 years, including 25 years as union organizer. He retired from that service in 2004.

Yuko first ran for the Ohio House of Representatives in 2004 to replace four-term incumbent Ed Jerse, who was unable to seek re-election due to term limits. In the 2004 primary, he defeated Kent Smith. He won reelection in 2006, 2008, and 2010. Yuko served as Chairman of the Commerce and Labor Committee for the 128th General Assembly.

Yuko expressed interest in an appointment to the Ohio Senate after incumbent Lance Mason resigned to take a judicial position. Ultimately, the appointment went to Cleveland City Councilwoman Nina Turner.

When he was sworn into his fourth term on January 3, 2011, Yuko served as the ranking member of the Commerce and Labor Committee, as well as a member of the Health and Aging Committee, and the Veterans Affairs Committee. He was also a member of the Unemployment Compensation Advisory Council; the Permanent Joint Committee on Gaming and Wagering; and the Joint Committee on Bingo and Skill Based Gaming.

Yuko was a staunch opponent of S.B. 5 and looked to lead the cause of a referendum that would repeal the changes the bill would make upon passage. He believed the then current act trampled the rights of workers.

Yuko served the 25th senatorial district which included the cities of Beachwood, Bedford, Bedford Heights, Cleveland (partial), East Cleveland, Eastlake, Euclid, Maple Heights, Mayfield Heights, Mentor (partial), Mentor-on-the-Lake, Painesville, Pepper Pike, Richmond Heights, South Euclid, Warrensville Heights, Wickliffe, Willoughby, and Willowick; along with the villages of Fairport Harbor, Grand River, Highland Hills, Lakeline, North Randall, Orange, Timberlake, and Woodmere; as well as parts of Painesville Township.

Personal life
Yuko resides in Richmond Heights, Ohio, with his wife, Pam. They have two children: Angela and the late Kenneth ("Rocky").

Yakhtennaya railway station () is a railway station in Saint Petersburg, Russia, that opened in the 1990s. All trains that pass through this station stop at this station.

History
Originally the JSC Primorskaya Saint Peterburg–Sestroretsk railway was constructed as Shunting loop 2 verst. This shunting loop was opened on July 12, 1894, concurrent with the opening of the railway between Novaya Derevnya and Lakhta (the first stage of the Primorskaya line).

On September 23, 1924, the shunting loop was seriously damaged during the catastrophic flooding. After the flood, the shunting loop was dismantled, and by 1925 did not exist anymore.

In the 1980s, housing construction began in the area. The current station was built to serve the residents. The station was named "13th km" until February 1999 when it was renamed "Yakhtennaya", after the street on which is built.

The album was recorded at Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios in Auckland, and featured Finn on backing vocals on two tracks, "18th Day" and "C2006P1 (Make Yourself at Home)".

The title is drawn from a line in the Allen Curnow poem "The Skeleton of the Great Moa in the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch":
"Not I, some child, born in a marvellous year,
Will learn the trick of standing upright here."

"Bathe in the River" had appeared originally on the soundtrack to the film No. 2, where it had been sung by Hollie Smith. The song won the APRA Silver Scroll in 2006. The closing track, "The Colossus of Roadies", is from a stage show McGlashan worked on with Toa Fraser, director of No. 2.

The fencing competitions at the 2012 Olympic Games in London were held from 28 July to 5 August at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre. Ten events (six individual, four team) were contested. The International Fencing Federation (FIE) had pushed for the inclusion of two more team events, but the International Olympic Committee voted to keep the current format of ten events.

The women's individual épée semi final became a notable controversy at the 2012 Olympics when a time-keeping error by a games volunteer helped German Britta Heidemann beat South Korea's Shin A-lam. Despite there being two hundredths of a second remaining in the match, the timer could only be reset to a whole second after the mistake. The extra time was enough for the German to score a winning attack and proceed to the final.

Qualification

Qualification was primarily based on the ind. official rankings as at 2 April 2012, with further individual places available at four zonal qualifying tournaments.

Medal table

Despite fencing being its top medal-producing sport, France did not win any medal for the first time since 1960.

The bull-leaping fresco is the most completely restored of several stucco panels originally sited on the upper-story portion of the east wall of the Minoan palace at Knossos in Crete. It shows a bull-leaping scene.  Although they were frescos, they were painted on stucco relief scenes. They were difficult to produce. The artist had to manage not only the altitude of the panel but also the simultaneous molding and painting of fresh stucco. The panels, therefore, do not represent the formative stages of the technique. In Minoan chronology, their polychrome hues – white, pale red, dark red, blue, black – exclude them from the Early Minoan (EM) and early Middle Minoan (MM) Periods. They are, in other words, instances of the "mature art" created no earlier than MM III. The flakes of the destroyed panels fell to the ground from the upper story during the destruction of the palace, probably by earthquake, in Late Minoan (LM) II. By that time the east stairwell, near which they fell, was disused, being partly ruinous.

The subject is common in Minoan art, one of a number depicting the handling of bulls. Arthur Evans, Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, owner of the palace and director of excavation, presents the topic in Chapter III of his monumental work on Knossos and Minoan Civilization, Palace of Minos. There he calls the several frescos "The Taureador Frescos."

There are more fragments than are included in the famous reconstruction, and it is generally thought that there were several bull-leaping scenes. A proposed reconstruction by M. Cameron has four very similar scenes, each with a left-facing bull and three human figures, one upside-down over the bull's back, and then one at each end, the ones at the front holding the bull's horns.

Minoan bull-leaping

Arthur Evans recognized that depictions of bulls and bull-handling had a long tradition represented by copious instances in multi-media art, not only at Knossos, and other sites on Crete, but also in the Aegean and on mainland Greece, with a tradition even more ancient in Egypt and the Middle East. At Knossos he distinguished between "bull-grappling scenes" or "'cow-boy' feats in the open" and "Circus Sports."  The cowboy scenes depict the catching and handling of wild cattle, represented by animal icons very like the aurochs from which kine were domesticated. This type of cattle motif is shown on the stucco fresco in the North Entrance of the palace. Additionally, Jordan Wolfe, of Furman University, explains how the act of bull-leaping is especially significant to Minoan culture because it highlights man's dubious mastery of nature.

The Circus Sports are to be contrasted to bull-catching. They are "a more structurally organized and ceremonial form of the sport confined, of its very nature, to a specially devised structure." He goes on to conjecture, "the Palace Bull-Ring itself lay on the river flat immediately below." The Taureador Frescoes, then, are not depictions of real events in real time, but are decorative motifs on the wall above a ceremonial bull-ring. They depict a stock scene, of a conventional nature, which has come to be termed "bull-leaping." It still has no viable definition. Although it vaguely brings to mind the act of jumping over bulls, the technique and the reasons for doing that remain obscure, a century after the discovery of the frescos.

A modern version of bull-leaping, the course landaise, in practiced in south-western France. Jeremy McInnerny identifies this as "an almost exact parallel" to Minoan bull-leaping.

The Taureador Frescoes are not frauds or incorrect reconstructions. The same bull-leaping scene appears in miniature in sealings and sealstones of the MM and LM periods. Explanations and classifications of the figures depicted are strictly theoretical, never illustrated by real-life examples. The only certain perception is that the leaper goes over the bull in an upside-down position, whether diving from above, leaping up from below, or with or without the assistance of another human or a device such as a pole. Why he should choose to do so also is strictly theoretical, although motives may probably presumed to be similar to those of modern adolescents in France: adventure and peer status. It would have to be, certainly, a volunteer activity of some social reward.

Taurokathapsia and other classical words

Evans noted the survival of bull sports into classical times; for example, the taurokathapsia of Thessaly. The word means "laying hold of the bull," which in modern times is sometimes used for dabing of the Taureador Fresco. Evans did not use it in that way. The Thessalian taurokathapsia was performed from horseback. The Tiryns Fresco depicts a youth on the back of a bull holding its horns, an activity similar to bull-dogging. First the bull in the ring is baited by riders to exhaust him. Then a rider comes up beside him, leaps on his back, seizes the horns, and falling to one side twists the head, bringing down the tired bull. Macedonian coins depict Artemis Tauropolos, "Artemis Bullrider," mounted on a charging bull. Miletus held the Boegia, "Bull Driving," involving a bull-grappling contest.

One problem with the Taureador Fresco as a taurokathapsia is its logical sequence. Depicted are three individuals, two women (one at the front, one at the back), and a male youth shown balancing on the bull. Their genders are identified according to the accepted Minoan art convention of painting women with pale skin and men with dark skin. The status of the participants is identified by their clothes and jewelry. The bull evidences the Mycenaean Flying Leap, which means he is intended to be at full gallop. The artist has shown the bull's body in an elongated form with extended legs to indicate movement. His horns, however, are being firmly held by the woman in front - possibly either in preparation to leap over the bull, or while stationary. However, if the woman is holding the bull, it cannot be galloping. The boy could be interpreted as being shown in a balancing, not a tumbling, position. He holds the flanks of the bull with both hands. If he were tumbling, and if he had used the horns to get a purchase, the woman would not be now holding them. It may not show a compressed chronological sequence, as the individuals are all different. Instead, icons that are disconnected in real time and space may have been superimposed to give an overall impression of a scene familiar to the artists and their viewers, but not to today's public.

Group Control System (GCS) is an operating system made by IBM, meant to run as a guest of VM. GCS is an integral component of the discontinued VM/SP (since VM/SP 4), VM/XA SP, VM/ESA and current z/VM IBM System product offerings.

Overview
GCS's purpose is to provide an environment to run some specific OS/MVS-based applications and networking middleware under VM. To this end, GCS provides a limited simulation of the OS/MVS APIs. While CMS, the usual VM guest, already has OS simulation, it is not extensive enough to run some applications such as VTAM.

Specifically, GCS provides OS multitasking support. In order to be able to spread the load over several virtual machines, GCS also implements a notion of group where each group member virtual machine can interact with one another.

To implement this, GCS uses several techniques:
 A writable shared segment
 IUCV communications between virtual machines
 A recovery virtual machine, designed to clean up locks in the shared segments when virtual machines unexpectedly leave the group

GCS is not designed to be a multi-purpose user operating system such as CMS. For example, it does not allow for file editing.

Examples of programs designed to run under GCS are:
 VM/VTAM : The VM implementation of the VTAM stack
 RSCS : The Remote Spooling Communication Subsystem, which, when associated with an instance of VM/VTAM, can use SNA resources to communicate with other SNA/NJE hosts
 NETVIEW : A networking monitoring service

Strengthening Participatory Organization is the largest rights-based national support organization in Pakistan working since 1994 to strengthen and support community organizations and public interest institutions for promotion of democratic governance, social justice, peace and social harmony.  SPO engages civil society networks, faith-based organisations and groups representing a wide range of stakeholders.

SPO focuses on capacity building of community institutions and nurtures civil society networks at the grassroots. SPO has so far worked in 77 districts out of 110 across four provinces and trained more than 3,000 community-based and local government institutions, strengthened 56 rights-based advocacy networks and undertook special projects for girls, education and humanitarian relief in case of natural disasters. All special projects are run with the help of community partners.

SPO envisions a democratic, socially just and tolerant society guided by participatory principles, which realizes the full potential of its people and their aspirations for sustainable and self-reliant development.

The mission is to strengthen and support community organisations and public interest institutions of Pakistan for the benefit of poor and disadvantaged sections of society for sustainable development through a participatory approach.

History
Strengthening Participatory Organization began its life in the early 1990s as the Small Projects Office (SPO) of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) programme in Pakistan.  On January 15, 1994, the Small Projects Office was transformed into an indigenous NGO.  The decade since that inception has seen many more transformations and developments.

From its humble beginning as a small and very new NGO in 1994, Strengthening Participatory Organization has grown to become one of the leading NGOs in Pakistan - in terms of its size and resources, the scope of its activities, its reach across the country, and the impact of its work.
SPO did not start off as strengthening in participatory organization. Its original role was limited and temporary:to function as a Small Project Office for the Social Sector Funds (SSF) Project of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
But in the eight years that follow the small project office acquired a life and niche of its own. But by end of this period it has transformed into an independent organization working for a different and deeper mandate than the one with which it had begun.
This chapter becomes SPO's eight years growth to maturity and transformation from a small, project support office to a prominent contributor to participatory development in Pakistan.

Aims and objectives

It is estimated that some 1,500,000 people have benefited directly through SPO's training programme and projects and another one million indirectly.

A few achievements of SPO's programme are listed below:

Empowering women
Increased number of women organisations have been strengthened, providing a platform to women to play an active role in integrating their own concerns in the overall planning process. The confidence of women has increased and their involvement in decision-making ensured. Women have been especially sensitised for good governance and provided political education so that they can play a role in the local government. Choti funding has also spurred economic activities that benefit female community members.

Promoting development
SPO's partner organisations demonstrated maturity in planning and undertaking development activities—over 300 CBOs and WOs designed development projects that addressed key needs of their communities. They were able to secure funds for these projects from SPO as well as other donors such as Trust for Voluntary Organisations (TVO), The Canada Fund and other bilateral donors. At least 30 percent of the beneficiaries of these projects hailed from the poorest segments of the target communities and no less than 30 percent were women. The POs also involved a large number of the intended beneficiaries in project needs, assessment, design and management. Environmental safeguards were built in.

Changing attitudes
Through SPO's interventions, an attitudinal change in society was observed where people demand that their basic needs are fulfilled and seen as their rights, rather than taking the fulfilment of such needs as a privilege. In order to strengthen advocacy for change, civil society organisations were linked with regional and sectoral networks to play a leading role in representing grass root communities. This further increased the participation of communities in decision-making.

Promoting policy debate
SPO has grown as an institution with the ability to develop linkages among grass root communities and policy-making institutions.  Until now, SPO has engaged local communities to assist government in policy development processes including devolution of power plan, youth policy, education policy and repealing Hudood Ordinances.  These networks gave their input at the policy level in provincial and national forums.  Wide-ranging consultation processes were initiated by SPO across Pakistan. Representatives of government, NGOs, CBOs and the communities extensively attended consultative workshops.

Rights-based political education and supporting democracy
The POs played a vital role in order to provide women leadership in the first two phases of local bodies elections and the last two general elections.  In order to ensure effective participation of women, the minimum female participation of 33% was achieved in Punjab through advocacy campaigns in collaboration with other agencies.  SPO's local resource persons were also actively involved in 46 districts.  781 members of SPO partner organisations contested the elections, out of which, 536 were elected from all over the country.  After reduction in seats more than 400 got elected in the second round. A larger number of activists participated in the process through campaigning, canvassing and bringing the development agenda to the fore.  SPO can justifiably claim to have acted as a catalyst for smooth implementation of the new local government system.

SPO has established a mechanism through its local partner networks to collect feedback on government policies, review performance and propose alternative solutions.  During the last year, SPO partner networks conducted research based studies in the areas of health and education.

Some interventions with political parties in 10 districts of all four provinces have provided an opportunity to establish a mechanism to communicate priorities and expectations of civil society to political leadership.

Reviving communities affected by natural disasters
SPO is very much rooted in the local communities in at least half of the districts of Pakistan.  In any situation of emergency or disasters, it stands by these communities through developing and implementing relief and rehabilitation programme.  During one of the most severe earthquakes of human history, which affected the lives of people in northern Pakistan, SPO was the only leading organisation, which utilized its full potential to mobilize resources in a very short time.  The resources both cash and in kind were worth 40 million rupees. A number of small initiatives were undertaken in collaboration with other partners for communities in the areas of education and health.  SPO has also provided massive support to flood affected communities in Turbat, Bolan, Gwadar, Naseerabad, Jaffarabad, Thatta, Badin, Swat and Rawalpindi (districts across four provinces). SPO was the first organisation to train the implementing partners of Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA), including the army, in community mobilisation and the only national organisation to work at the policy level with the newly formed National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

Programmes

Democratic Governance Programme
The Democratic Governance Programme emphasises on mainstreaming of marginalised communities in decision making processes by working towards the realisation of the basic human rights as described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the Constitution of Pakistan. It ultimately leads to the next stage of claiming rights from policy and decision making institutions in a democratic manner. It is achieved through extensive political education through Civil Society Networks on regular basis.  Enabling the people through education and training to participate fully in all forms of voluntary activities for social development is encouraged.  Youth, the most vibrant section of the society is engaged and mainstreamed in social and political processes through this programme.

Social Justice Programme
The Social Justice Programme is a mean to establish and expedite the community-rooted mechanisms in order to secure the well being of people, irrespective of caste, creed, colour or sex, by improving their quality of life.  The programme aims to support mechanisms largely in the public sector and those devised by the civil society in the areas of basic education, primary healthcare, livelihood support to women and relief and rehabilitation after natural disasters in areas where SPO works.

Peace and Social Harmony Programme
The Peace and Social Harmony Programme encourages civil society networks, faith-based organisations and groups, representing a wide range of stakeholders, to jointly participate in decision-making processes for the protection of basic rights regardless of religion, language, ethnicity and class differences.  The programme is based on building social harmony among diversified groups to share and understand each other's point of view and respect differences.  The major challenges to be dealt with include the rising sectarian differences and inter-provincial harmony. ‘Politics of Consent, is encouraged resulting in informed, thoroughly debated, and positive public and policy messages of awareness raising and advocacy.

Al-Quds Arab Capital of Culture () was the name given to Arab Capital of Culture programme in 2009. The programme, organised by UNESCO and the Arab League, is designed to promote Arab culture and encourage cooperation in the Arab world. The 2009 event was the 14th programme since its establishment in 1996.

Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem, the proclaimed capital of the State of Palestine, although the seat of government and de facto capital is Ramallah. Many of the events were held in the Palestinian territories controlled by the Palestinian National Authority. The opening event scheduled for January 2009 was delayed due to the Gaza War. It was held on March 21, 2009.

Launching of the events
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas officially launched the celebration of Jerusalem as the Capital of Arab Culture for 2009 at a ceremony in Bethlehem. Simultaneous ceremonies were supposed to take place in Jerusalem, Gaza, Nazareth and Mar Elias refugee camp in Lebanon. These synchronized celebrations in five locations reflect the desire of building a cultural bridge between the Palestinian people in Palestine and the Palestinians in the diaspora. Israeli Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter instructed police to suppress PNA-sponsored events calling Jerusalem the "capital of Arab culture" because they constituted a violation of the interim agreement, which includes a clause stating that the PA is prohibited from organizing events in Israeli territory.

On Dichter's orders, police shuttered eight planned events and detained twenty organizers and participants for questioning. The blocked events included a soccer match scheduled at a school on Nablus Road, a conference for young women at the Al-Hiya'la Center, and marches in the Wadi al-Joz and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhoods. In addition, a group of Arab students was blocked from rallying at the Temple Mount with PLO flags. A similar ceremony was blocked on the Haroun al-Rashid road. Events in Ras al-Amud and al-Tur were also shut down.

Reactions to the Israeli ban
 Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas condemned the ban, emphasizing that "there will be no peace without Jerusalem."
 Knesset member Ahmad Tibi said: "I guess the occupation feels threatened by the Palestinian culture and narrative. This is a struggle between occupying police and the songs of freedom and the song will win in the end."
 Nazareth mayor Ramiz Jaraisy said: "I never thought they [Israeli authorities] would take it this far. After all, this is a cultural event." The mayor said Dichter was made aware of the planned festivities as early as March 11 but decided to wait nine days before issuing the order "to prevent a public outcry and legal action on our part. Dichter is trying to compete with (Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman) Avigdor Lieberman's anti-Arab trend, and anyone who holds democracy and freedom of expression dear must condemn his position," he said.
 As a reaction on the Israeli ban, the Dutch composer Merlijn Twaalfhoven initiated Al Quds Underground Festival. Palestinian and international artists created around 150 small theatre and music events in living rooms across the Old City. Access to the festival was on invitation only to avoid problems with the Israeli authorities. In 2010, the festival saw its second edition.

In the Gaza Strip

Spokesperson of the Ministry of the Interior Ihab al-Ghussein said that the celebrations for Al-Quds Arab Capital of Culture in March at the headquarters of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Gaza. Abbas accused Hamas of blocking celebrations.

In Denmark
Events took place on September 26 and 27 in Denmark. This celebration, the only one outside the Arab world, included more than 40 Palestinian artists, among them the hip hop group Ramallah Underground, the folklore dance troupe El Funoun, the Oriental Music Ensemble, visual artist Rana Bishara, and film director Larissa Sansour who presented her film A Space Exodus (reviewed by Professor Helga Tawil Souri). They were also joint cultural productions produced with prominent Danish artists, as well as a bazaar showcasing cultural products and Palestinian cuisine.

Herbert Schilder (8 September 1928 in Brooklyn, New York – 25 January 2006 in Newton, Massachusetts) was a dental surgeon. Schilder is best known for the improvements he made to root canal therapies (endodontic therapy) in the 1960s when he taught at the Boston University School of Dental Medicine.

Herbert Schilder received his D.D.S. from New York University, and taught at Tufts University and Temple University prior to permanently joining Boston University in 1958. In his early years after joining Boston University, he founded the specialty program in endodontics to train dentists to become endodontists. He also developed a new technique to fill root canals after disinfection, now known as "Schilder's warm gutta-percha vertical compaction technique." This technique is now widely used by most endodontic programs.

He was president of the American Association of Endodontists and the Massachusetts Dental Society. He was also the first vice president of the American Dental Association.

Dr. Schilder was a very influential scholar and educator in endodontics. His level of popularity in the field led to the use of his name in the movie Finding Nemo, in which the "Schilder technique" was mentioned in the conversation between the fish.

James Mason was a 19th-century footballer and referee. He played for Burslem Port Vale and refereed the 1909 FA Cup final.

Career
Mason joined Burslem Port Vale in November 1892. He made his debut in a 5–2 home defeat to Newton Heath on 24 December 1894, becoming a regular from March 1895. In 1896 he was reported to be performing 'his usual trick act of shooting at the winding gear of the adjacent colliery or at the clock in the Cobridge Church tower'. He lost his first team place in December 1896, despite this ability. He was suspended by the club in February 1897 for 'offensive conduct' and only made one further appearance, in October 1897. Despite this he actually went on to become a referee after being released in 1898.

He refereed the 1909 FA Cup final, as well as four England games.

In Japan, a  is required when operating a car, motorcycle or moped on public roads. Driving licenses are issued by the prefectural governments' public safety commissions and are overseen on a nationwide basis by the National Police Agency.

Types of license
Japanese licenses are divided by experience level and by vehicle type.

Classes

Categories
The vehicle classes are as follows:

The "restricted to automatic" license () can be issued for ordinary vehicle (including Class 2 license), ordinary motorcycle and heavy motorcycle license classes.
The "restricted to small motorcycle" license ( 1.0Kw/125cc or less) can be issued for ordinary motorcycle license class, and can be issued along with the "restricted to automatic" license.

Vehicle Type Ratings
The vehicle type ratings are as follows:

The minimum requirement for heavy or medium vehicle license can be relaxed to 19 years old and one year experience under ordinary vehicle/heavy special vehicle license by certain lesson in driving school.

Required training
There are two options for learners. Firstly, learners can attend a designated driving school. Graduates from a designated driving school do not need to sit the practical examination but they do need to sit the written examination. Secondly, learners can attend non-designated driving school or obtain practice through other means, in which case they must sit both the practical and written examinations. The Japanese driving examination consists of a written examination and a practical examination for each level of license. Most Japanese go to a driving school prior to taking these examinations (though it is not required), and upon completing the course at a non-designated driving school must register for the examinations in the prefecture where they are registered as a resident. The practical examination consists of driving a vehicle through a purpose-designed driving course while obeying relevant rules of the road.

Japan also allows Japan-resident holders of foreign driving licenses to convert their foreign license to a Japanese license through an abbreviated examination process. This consists of an eyesight test and, depending on the issuing country of the foreign license, may also require a short written examination and a practical examination.

Countries exempt from the exam include, as of 2022: Iceland, Ireland, parts of the United States (limited to only the states of Ohio, Virginia, Hawaii, Maryland and Washington), United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Austria, Netherlands, Canada, South Korea, Greece, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Hungary, Finland, France, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, Monaco, Luxembourg, and Taiwan.

In 2003, the first-time pass rate for Americans was slightly higher than the 35 percent pass rate for Japanese returnees, but not much. On the other hand, for those who took the regular test, they had to go through an intensive (and expensive) driver education program. The first time pass rate for this group, even with the harder test, was 90 to 100 percent. As of 2022, the fee for an English-speaking foreigner to obtain a license from a Japanese driving school is about ¥500,000 (or about US$).

Driving license card
Every licensed driver is issued with a , which they are required to have available for inspection whenever they exercise the privileges granted by the license.

Layout of a driving license card

Description
The sections of the sample license shown are:

Date format
The dates are written in year-month-day order. The years follow the Japanese era calendar scheme. The months and days follow the Gregorian calendar, as in most Western countries.

For example:
 the driver's date of birth (昭和５０年６月１日) is the 1st day (１日) of the 6th month (６月) of the 50th year (５０年) of the reign of Emperor Shōwa (昭和), or 1 June 1975
 the expiry date (平成２４年０７月０１日) is the 1st day (０１日) of the 7th month (０７月) of the 24th year (２４年) of the reign of Emperor Heisei (平成), or 1 July 2012

Categories of license
Abbreviated names of the categories of vehicle this license includes. For illustrative purposes, this sample license shows every category. Category names are in the same places on every license.

This list of tallest buildings in Memphis ranks completed buildings by height in the U.S. city of Memphis, Tennessee, the 28th largest city in the United States. The tallest building is the 100 North Main building at 430 ft (131m), built in 1965. The Sterick Building, 364 ft (111m) was the tallest building in the Southern United States when built in 1930, holding that title until 1932 when surpassed by the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge. The first skyscraper built in Memphis was the Dr. D.T. Porter Building, 131 ft (40m), in 1895. The tallest man-made structure in the city is the 1003 ft (305.7m) Edwin L. Nass Tower 1, a guyed steel TV transmitting tower located at 5317 Crestview Road in northeast Memphis.

Unlike many other downtowns in the Sun Belt, Memphis did not experience the high-rise building booms of the late 1980s or early 2000s. Only four buildings over 100m have been built in downtown Memphis since World War II: 100 North Main, Raymond James Tower, One Commerce Square, and First Tennessee Bank Building. This has resulted in a smaller, more historic skyline compared to other nearby cities of similar age and population (compare to Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas/Fort Worth, or St. Louis). Three of the tallest in the city are located in the upscale neighborhood of East Memphis: the Clark Tower, the Hilton Memphis, and the White Station Tower.

As of 2018 the long-delayed One Beale Street project getting a completely revised plan of 4 separate components: hotel, residential, office and garage. The hotel component will be built first, and received a ground-breaking date for January 2019.
Also, a major renovation of the cities' tallest tower—100 North Main St—which currently sits vacant, was planned and the same owner/developer announced plans for a 26-story Loews brand highrise hotel. This will be built near city hall and the convention center downtown. In addition, there may be a 2nd tower built for either office or residential mixed-use.

With the COVID-19 pandemic putting a halt to many projects worldwide in early 2020, some of Memphis' development projects were delayed and tabled, as-a-result. The Memphis Convention Center renovation, rebranded as Memphis Renasant Convention Center will open in early 2021, and the One Beale St project has been underway since late 2018 and progressing, after years of delays. The Pinch District has skyscraper proposals on the table, and the new development formerly known as "Union Row," has been renamed and rebranded as "The Walk on Union."

Medway NHS Trust is an NHS foundation trust based in Kent which runs Medway Maritime Hospital.

History
The trust was established as Medway NHS Trust on 1 November 1993, and became operational on 1 April 1994.

A proposed merger with Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust was called off in September 2013.

Special measures
In July 2013 as a result of the Keogh Review the Trust was put into special measures by Monitor. In November 2013 it was threatened that Monitor would remove the management because of its failure to address problems. It was put into a buddying arrangement with East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust.

In December 2013 the Trust was one of 13 hospital trusts named by Dr Foster Intelligence as having higher than expected mortality indicator scores for the period April 2012 to March 2013 in their Hospital Guide 2013 and in June 2014, the Daily Telegraph highlighted "six figure sums" paid to "dozens of managers" at a time when the "failing hospital" was short of some 120 nurses. The Telegraph quoted the £200,000 package for a 2-day week of chairman Christopher Langley who is entitled to £17,000 flat rate expenses, and banker Robert Griffiths who is paid the annual equivalent of £540,000 to act as "treasurer". The Care Quality Commission (CQC) made a further inspection in July 2014 and rated it as inadequate. Particular problems were identified in the casualty department where staff "felt under siege", with up to 16 ambulances queuing outside and patients waited for more than 24 hours on at least ten occasions during the year. The CQC imposed conditions on the running of the Accident and Emergency Department that all patients arriving at the Department must be assessed by a clinician within 15 minutes.  A system must be established to record each patient's arrival, registration and time of first clinical assessment and the Trust is required to report on a weekly basis every time this standard is failed; and provide details about the patients affected, how long each one waited for an initial assessment, the reason why they waited longer than 15 minutes, and if there were consequences.

In an effort to improve performance the Trust was given support first by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and then by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.

In March 2017 the trust came out of special measures after an inspection that showed substantial improvements had been made. In April 2017 32% of patients with suspected cancer had to wait longer than 2 weeks to see a specialist though 93% should see a cancer specialist within that time.

Performance

The Trust was one of 26 responsible for half of the national growth in patients waiting more than four hours in accident and emergency over the 2014/5 winter.

In 2014/5 the Trust was given a loan of £22.5 million by the Department of Health which was to be paid back within five years.

The Trust spent 13.3% of its total turnover on agency staff in 2014/5 – the biggest proportion of any NHS Trust in England.

In March 2016 the Trust was rated as having a poor reporting culture in the Learning from Mistakes League. Ten thousand patients were said to have waited more than 18 weeks for their first out-patient appointment, a situation that was expected to continue for at least a year. The Trust had the second worst rating in the English inpatient experience survey, and ended 2015/6 in deficit of £52.5 million.

The Trust had a deficit of £62 million in 2017-18, £24.3 million worse than planned, and with loans from the Department of Health and Social Care of £217 million, £11.2 million more than its assets. The Trust expects a deficit of £46.8 million in 2018/9 with no prospect of repaying its loans.

In January 2019 seven out of 92 patients (8%) referred for investigation of breast symptoms were seen by a specialist within two weeks. The target is 93%

Mark Reckless
During the 2014 Rochester and Strood by-election Mark Reckless, the UKIP candidate produced a leaflet attacking the Conservative Party for failing NHS patients, featuring a picture of him, taken when he was a Conservative MP,  with Dr Phillip Barnes, the acting Chief Executive of the Trust. Shena Winning, the Chair of the Trust, complained to Reckless, pointing out that public bodies cannot be associated with politically-biased information that could be seen to give any party an electoral advantage and that he had not asked permission to use the picture. Winning required that the leaflet be withdrawn and a public retraction.

History
Dr Helen Mair  was District Medical Officer for the Trust in the 1980s.

The Hancock air whistle was a railroad whistle intended for use on North American diesel locomotives in place of the standard air horn. It was manufactured by the Hancock Valve Division of Manning, Maxwell and Moore.

History

Steam era
Hancock was well-known to the railroads during the days of steam. The company produced many appliances, one of which was the popular long-bell three-chime steam whistle.

When railroads began dieselising, Hancock, along with other manufacturers of railroad equipment, adjusted their offerings in order to remain competitive. And so Hancock modified their whistle design so they could be used on diesel locomotives.

Diesel era
Hancock already had vast experience with steam whistles, and practically none with air horns. Also, diesel locomotives were an emerging technology, and most early models were equipped with single-note 'honkers'. These horns were anything but appealing to the general public. Therefore, Hancock developed their line of air whistles in an attempt to romanticize the diesel locomotives. Production of these air whistles spanned from the late 1950s until the late 1960s.

Users
The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad was the largest user of these whistles, and every FL9 purchased by the New Haven came from the factory equipped with a Hancock 4700 air whistle on the roof in the front, and an H4700 whistle (no reflector dish) on the rear. Additionally, the NH's 40 Budd RDCs had two Hancock 4700 whistles, plus their Mack FCD-1 & FCD-2 railbuses, 30 GP9s, 15 RS-11s, 15 H-16-44s, 20 SW1200s & their fleet of Pullman-Westinghouse stainless steel MUs. One DL-109 was also retrofitted with a pair.

Other railroads occasionally used them, notably the New York Central on some RS-3s, the Seaboard Air Line on their SDP-35s, the Cambria & Indiana on its SW9s, and the Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern.

Unfortunately, it was found that at high speeds, the whistles were difficult to hear. Class I railroads eventually replaced their Hancock whistles with horns, namely for safety reasons. Short line users were generally steel mill railroads, where it was found that the whistle was easier to hear than a horn within the mill.

Types of air whistles

Hancock offered three different models of their air whistle. The most common was the 4700, which consisted of the whistle along with a large, rectangular bowl in the same plane as the languid plate. This bowl, or reflector, is used to project the sound of the whistle ahead of the locomotive, instead of omnidirectional as in the case of most whistles. The second model was the 4700-2. This whistle is basically the same as the 4700 except that it has an electric heating element installed in the bowl to keep it from freezing. The final offering was the H4700, which did not include the reflector bowl. Aside from this difference, it is basically identical to the 4700.

The Hancock air whistles were all designed so that the bell of the whistle is horizontal when mounted on a standard horn mount. All the whistles are a single-bell chime, playing the notes E A C (A major triad) when blown on air. However, over time, many of the whistles got off-key and produced some variants.

2007–08 Albanian Cup () was the fifty-sixth season of Albania's annual cup competition. It began in August 2007 with the First Preliminary Round and ended on 7 May 2006 with the Final match. The winners of the competition qualified for the 2008-09 first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. KS Besa were the defending champions, having won their first Albanian Cup last season. The cup was won by KS Vllaznia.

The rounds were played in a two-legged format similar to those of European competitions. If the aggregated score was tied after both games, the team with the higher number of away goals advanced. If the number of away goals was equal in both games, the match was decided by extra time and a penalty shootout, if necessary.

The Howlin' Wolf Album is the first studio album by Howlin' Wolf, released in 1969. It features members of Rotary Connection as his backing band. The album mixed blues with psychedelic rock arrangements of several of Wolf's classic songs. Howlin' Wolf strongly disliked the album, which is noted on the album's cover art. The album peaked at number 69 on Billboard magazine's "Black Albums" chart.

Production
In 1967, Marshall Chess formed Cadet Concept Records as a subsidiary of Chess Records. The label's first release was the self-titled debut album of the psychedelic band Rotary Connection, whose members Chess described as "the hottest, most avant garde rock guys in Chicago". As a result of the album's success, Chess felt that he could revive the career of bluesmen Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf by recording two albums of experimental, psychedelic blues with members of Rotary Connection as the  backing band for the singers, producing the albums Electric Mud and The Howlin' Wolf Album.  Chess hoped the new albums would sell well among fans of psychedelic rock bands influenced by Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.

In place of Howlin' Wolf's regular musicians were Gene Barge, Pete Cosey, Roland Faulkner, Morris Jennings, Louis Satterfield, Charles Stepney and Phil Upchurch. Cosey, Upchurch and Jennings joked about calling the group "The Electric Niggers". Marshall Chess liked the suggestion, but Leonard Chess refused to allow the name.

The album incorporates use of wah-wah pedal and fuzzbox.  Marshall Chess augmented the rhythm of Howlin Wolf's live band with the use of electronic organ and saxophone. Blues purists criticized the album's psychedelic sound. Howlin' Wolf disliked the sound, which he did not consider to be blues. According to guitarist Pete Cosey, during the recording sessions, Howlin' Wolf "looked at me and he said 'Why don't you take them wah-wahs and all that other shit and go throw it off in the lake – on your way to the barber shop?'"

Release and reception

Marshall Chess referred to Howlin' Wolf's dislike of the arrangements on the album's cover. Howlin' Wolf took exception to the blurb, as he had enthusiastically adopted the use of electric guitar, and had led the first entirely electric blues combo in West Memphis in the early 1950s. Howlin' Wolf stated that the album was "dog shit". According to Chess, the album's cover hurt its sales. Chess states that "I used negativity in the title, and it was a big lesson: You can't say on the cover that the artist didn't like the album. It didn't really sell that well. But it was just an attempt. They were just experiments."

The Howlin' Wolf Album did not sell as well as Electric Mud. The Howlin' Wolf Album peaked at number 69 on Billboard magazine's Black Albums chart. The album's single, "Evil", peaked at number 43 on the R&B Singles chart.

In 2007, a digitally remastered compact disc edition was released as a limited edition in Japan. Because of an error in remastering, the CD version cut 34 seconds from the last song, “Back-Door Man.” Instead of a fade out, the song ends abruptly at 6:31. On March 22, 2011, Get On Down Records reissued the CD in the US with the same mastering error. The reason for the error is that the printed time for "Back-Door Man " printed on the back cover is 6:17, however, this is for the music only. The correct timing for the full song with the spoken intro is 6:51. The album has never been released on CD in its complete form.

The singer Bilal names it among his 25 favorite albums. In 1998 The Wire included the album in a list of groundbreaking albums, where Sasha Frere-Jones wrote of how Chess' wish to put "the greatest shouter of all time" against an electric band to recut several of his early hits unusually resulted in a group that "was capable of outdoing both Funkadelic and The Meters at their own game, and unafraid to get very foreground and doubly black." He wrote that the same group's albums with Muddy Waters "came close to the majesty" of The Howlin' Wolf Album, but that ultimately "there's no topping Howlin's polytonal bellow. Combine that voice with the rhythm and noise here and you have evidence of the greatest rock group that never was."

Coelophora inaequalis, the variable ladybird, common Australian lady beetle or common Australian ladybug is a ladybird species endemic to Australia, Oceania and Southern Asia. The variable ladybird gets its name from the black markings on the adult elytra, that vary from one individual to another.

C. inaequalis was introduced into Florida and Hawaii as a biological control agent to combat Sipha flava, the yellow sugarcane aphid.
