The Bigfoot Trail is an unofficial U.S. long-distance hiking trail in northern California. The Bigfoot Trail was originally proposed by Michael Kauffmann in 2009 as a suggested route to navigate the Klamath Mountains from south to north as well as a long-trail to introduce nature lovers to the biodiversity of the Klamath Mountains region. The trail begins in the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness and ends in Redwood National Park at the Pacific Ocean near Crescent City, California.  A major focus along the trail is conifer diversity, passing 32 species in . The route crosses six wilderness areas, one National Park, and one State Park. Northwest California's Klamath Mountains foster one of the most diverse temperate coniferous forests on Earth, and this route is intended to be a celebration of that biodiversity.

Route
Of the 360 miles, approximately  are along seldom used Forest Service roads while the remaining segments are backcountry trails, either in wilderness or on National Forest land. The Pacific Crest Trail briefly coincides with the Bigfoot Trail in the northern Marble Mountain Wilderness and north of Seiad Valley to the edge of the Red Buttes Wilderness.  Due to the strenuous nature of the trail and the fact that some sections have been un-maintained for many years it is not a trail that can be hiked quickly. Experience using map and compass as well as the ability to read the landscape are necessary for a successful thru-hike.

The trail passes through these areas, listed south to north:
Mendocino National Forest
Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness
Shasta-Trinity National Forest
Trinity Alps Wilderness
Klamath National Forest
Russian Wilderness
Marble Mountain Wilderness
Red Buttes Wilderness
Siskiyou Wilderness
Six Rivers National Forest
Siskiyou Wilderness
Smith River National Recreation Area
Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park
Redwood National Park

Flora
The botanical diversity exists in northwest California because of the interactions of a variety of factors that have remained "consistent" for millions of years. Northwest California is a museum of sorts, hiding relicts of epochs gone by, called paleoendemics, and fostering the growth of new species, called neoendemics, in unusual nooks created by complex climate and soils. These small microclimates, linked with isolation in space and time, create this unique setting.

Northwest California is an ancient meeting ground—having a central location and continuity with other mountain ranges as well as a proximity to the Pacific Ocean. While there are many endemic plants in northwest California, the endemic and relict conifers are of particular interest and importance because there is so much diversity in such a small area. There are 3,540 vascular plant taxa (species, subspecies, and variations) of plants—and as many as 38 species of conifers depending on where one delineates northwest California  The Klamath Mountains fosters one of the most diverse temperate coniferous forests on Earth and the Bigfoot Trail is in place to visit and celebrate that diversity.

Geology

For the majority of the route, the Bigfoot Trail is in the Klamath Mountains. Topographically, the Klamath Mountains are part of the set of coastal ranges that run roughly parallel to the Pacific Ocean in California and Oregon, but the Klamath Mountains differ in history, complexity, and geological character. In fact, the Klamath Mountains' closest geological connection is to the Sierra Nevada (U.S.). While most of northwest California can geologically be referred to as the Klamath Mountain Province, the region also presents a coastal area called the North California Coast Range. The first 27 miles and final 16 miles traverse the Coast Range (here defined as the Franciscan Complex). This geologic region also has its share of interesting botanical rarities.

The geology of northwest California has helped foster the regions high plant species diversity. Complex soils of the Klamath Mountains have helped create a spectrum of subtle microclimates in which plant species have been able to "hide out" and evolve.

Climate

On a grand scale, the area is comfortable for plant growth compared to other areas of the West—there is a moderate climate. The region fosters three distinct climatic gradients.  First, there is a north-to-south trend of decreasing winter precipitation and warmer summer temperatures. Second, there is a west to east trend away from cooler and moister summer temperatures to a warmer, drier environment. Third, a montane gradient is expressed in which temperature decreases and precipitation increases with elevation. While in California's Mediterranean climate it is difficult to calculate an "average" level of precipitation—as fluctuations from year to year are common—northwest California offers more year-to-year stability than any other place in the state. These climatic gradients contribute to the plant diversity of the region—and the botanical rarities that can be seen along the Bigfoot Trail. Because the trail traverses varied topography by first traveling in a south to north direction and then east to west, many of northwest California's common and unique vegetation types are visited.

The Battle of Ravenna, capital of the Western Roman Empire, between the Heruli under their King Odoacer and the remnants of the Western Roman army in Roman Italy occurred in early September 476, and represented a culminating event in the ongoing fall of the Western Roman Empire. The Roman Empire had been in relative decline since the beginning of the barbarian invasions and Rome, the symbolical heart and largest city of the Western Empire, was sacked in 410 by the Visigoths and in 455 by the Vandals. By 476 the Roman emperor was little more than a puppet, having very little de facto control of any territory outside of Italy. The last Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was not recognized as a legitimate ruler outside of Italy; the Eastern Roman Empire recognized Julius Nepos as the true Western Roman Emperor.

Herulians were foederati of the Western Roman Empire; they were mercenary troops of the Roman army of Italy. They envied the fortune of their brethren in Gaul, Spain, and Africa, whose victorious arms had acquired an independent and perpetual inheritance; and they insisted that a third part of the lands of Italy should be immediately divided among them. Orestes, the father of emperor Romulus Augustus, rejected their demand – causing their revolt. From all the camps and garrisons of Italy the confederates flocked to the standard of Odoacer, their leader; Orestes later retreated to Pavia. Pavia was subsequently pillaged and Orestes was executed.

The decisive battle was fought on 2 September 476 near Ravenna, the capital of the Western Roman Empire: it saw the foederati defeat the largely depleted Roman garrison. The city, defended by Paulus (the brother of Orestes) was captured swiftly and easily. Two days later, the sixteen year old emperor Romulus Augustulus was forced to abdicate by Odoacer. Romulus was sent into retirement in Campania.

Trombidium holosericeum is a species of mite in the genus Trombidium. It occurs in Europe, Asia, and North Africa and is commonly confused with other red mite species.

Description

This species is one of the largest mites in northern temperate zones, with a body length of about ). The soft, brightly red body is covered with fine hairs, giving it a velvety appearance. The small eyes are located on stalks. They have scissor-like chelicerae and their pedipalps are used as touch organs.

Its bright red color results from carotenoids, warning predators about the toxicity of the mite (aposematism). Almost nothing is known about the toxic substances used, but they are probably contained within the integument.

The specific epithet is derived from Ancient Greek , , "whole" and , , "silken".

Biology
While adults live freely and are often found wandering about, searching for small animals and insect eggs for food, the larvae try to find a host to attach themselves to, often an insect like a grasshopper or fly, but also arachnids like harvestmen or spiders. At this stage they appear as red globules on their hosts, sucking body liquid without severely harming the host. These larvae then develop into free-living nymphs that resemble adults.

William Philip Burns (19 August 1884 – 17 June 1955) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Geelong and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Bill 'Boots' Burns played with Ararat Football Club 1904–05, 10 games, 1904 Premiership

Burns, from South Bendigo originally, started out at Geelong and in 1908 became a member of Richmond's inaugural VFL team. A follower, he went from hero to villain during the 1909 VFL season after kicking the winning goal in one game and then getting a life ban for a kicking incident later in the year.

His goal came in Richmond's round two encounter against University, after he had received a bump which gave him bad concussion. He was in the dressing room at three quarter time, preparing to go to hospital, but decided to return to the field as the scores were close.

Against Melbourne at the MCG mid-season, Burns was reported for kicking an opponent and suspended for life by the VFL tribunal. Despite the ban, Burns had made three appearances for West Perth in the 1910 West Australian Football League season. He returned to Richmond in 1912 once his suspension had been lifted, having missed 46 games.

Once he left Richmond for good, he played at WAFL club East Fremantle and was a half forward flanker in their 1914 premiership side. He was a premiership player again in 1918 and also appeared in losing Grand Finals over the next few years, mostly as a wingman. Burns then retired, having played 104 senior games for East Fremantle. He was a Western Australian interstate representative at the 1914 Sydney Carnival.

The SS Abbotsford was a brig-rigged iron passenger ship built by the Gourlay Brothers of Dundee for the Red Star Line, of Antwerp. Despite the company's home in Belgium, the liner was registered in Liverpool and flew the British flag.

She was launched on 29 March 1873. Her maiden voyage from Liverpool to Philadelphia started on 10 May 1873 for the Red Star.

On 24 November 1874 the Abbotsford collided with the  on the way to New York from Antwerp. Repairs were made in London, England. That same year, small pox broke out on the ship forcing the hospitalization of 8 passengers with the other passengers sent to Liverpool.

On 7 January 1875 a machinery failure disabled the Abbotsford while easterly bound and she was taken in tow by the . A slight collision occurred in towing.

On 21 July 1875, the Abbotsford was driven ashore in Cummons Bay, Anglesey. Passengers were landed within 30 minutes and lodged at Amlwch. She was on a voyage from Philadelphia to Liverpool. On 23 July the Abbotsford heeled over and sank. She was replaced in service by the .

(Literally: General of the Mountain Troops) was a category of German Army three-star, a new example of the traditional German 'General der' rank introduced by the Wehrmacht in 1940, comparable to the NATO grade OF-8.

Rank and rank insignia
The rank was equivalent to the long established General der Kavallerie, General der Artillerie and General der Infanterie. The Wehrmacht also introduced General der Panzertruppe (armoured troops), General der Pioniere (engineers), General der Fallschirmtruppe (parachute troops) and General der Nachrichtentruppe (communications troops).

Mountain Infantry (Gebirgsjäger) Generals were identifiable by their edelweiss sleeve and cap insignia and the mountain cap (bergmütze) worn instead of the peaked cap of officers from other branches of the Wehrmacht. In October 1942 an order was issued that general officers should have gold piping around the crown of the cap to distinguish them more readily from other ranks.

PyQuante is an open-source (BSD) suite of programs for developing quantum chemistry methods using Gaussian type orbital (GTO) basis sets. The program is written in the Python programming language, but has "rate-determining" modules written in C for speed, and also uses and requires the NumPy linear algebra extensions to Python. The resulting code, though not as fast as other quantum chemistry programs, is much easier to understand and modify. The goal of this software is not necessarily to provide a working quantum chemistry program but rather to provide a set of tools so that scientists can construct their own quantum chemistry programs without going through the tedium of having to write every low-level routine. PyQuante 1.6.3 is the latest stable version of the program.

PyQuante features
 Hartree–Fock: restricted closed-shell and unrestricted open-shell implementations;
 Density functional theory: LDA (SVWN, Xalpha) and GGA (BLYP) functionals;
 Optimized-effective potential method for orbital-dependent density functional approximations;
 Two electron integrals computed using Huzinaga, Rys, or Head-Gordon/Pople techniques; C and Python interfaces to these programs;
 MINDO/3 semiempirical energies and forces;
 CI-singles excited states;
 DIIS convergence acceleration;
 Second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2).

or , also known as , is a Japanese sword school founded by  in the 17th century. Abe was a disciple of Taisha-ryū, an offshoot of Shinkage-ryū. He was considered a Kengō (great swordsman) and instructor to the Akizuki-han in Chikuzen Province.

The Abe ryū is known as the first major school of kenjutsu to use the term  in 1673, although the characters had also been used earlier in China. Kendō, or ken no michi, "the way of the sword", describes the teachings of his ryū which emphasized mental and moral practice rather than physical techniques.  There is no direct connection between the Abe-ryū usage of kendō and the kendo practiced today.

The 2009 Men's Division III Rugby Tournament is a tournament which involved 103 schools playing in a single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of men's NSCRO Division III college rugby as a culmination of the 2008–09 rugby season. It began in the fall 2008 season in the northeast, midwest and mid-atlantic, and picked up again in the spring 2009 season for the southern teams, and concludes with the Fearsome Four, a final four-style semifinals and championship games co-hosted by South Jersey RFC on April 25-6 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

National Championship Bracket

Fearsome Four – Cherry Hill, New Jersey

National Semifinal

The National Semifinals were held on a warm sunny day, on a badly worn pitch at Green Acre Park in Cherry Hill, NJ. The event was not well publicized.  Each match was attended by about 40 rugby fans, friends and family members.  The event host, South Jersey RFC, had a small concession lean-to, offering pretzels, sodas and event T-shirts.

In the first match of the day, New England Rugby Football Union Champion Salve Regina met NY State Rugby Conference Champion SUNY Oswego.  Salve Regina was the only true small college in the tournament (having approximately 500 male students to SUNY's 3000), and it showed.  SUNY's large squad took advantage of poor SRU tackling up the middle and took a 22-0 lead into halftime.  The first half was led by the dominance of Oswego flankers Matt Moir (senior)with 4 tries, Kandu Agmibson, fly half Jordan Storie (senior captain), and outside center Jay McGukin (senior captain).

In the second half, Oswego replaced four of its starters including starting scrum half and senior captain Alex Rufer among others due to injury and conservation for the finals match, which was to be determined. Consequently, SRU showed some spirit and put points on the board, exchanging tries with SUNY, but they never really got the hang of EPRU referee Pete Hesler's refusal to penalize an offside.   And on those other penalties that were called, SRU was physically restrained from quicktapping on multiple occasions by Hesler to allow Oswego to adequately retreat.  One such restraint took place on the Oswego 5m line, evoking a barrage of criticism from the SRU sideline, and for which they probably should have been disciplined.  Overall, SUNY Oswego was by far the better team on the day, running in multiply tries from outside the 22m.

In the second match, VRU Champion Longwood met USA Rugby South Champion Coastal Carolina.  The two teams were well coached and matched up very well.  Again, however, the large college program carried the day.  Coastal Carolina was physically larger, and took an early lead, but Longwood battled back, playing smart rugby and making some key kicks for points.  At halftime, Coastal Carolina held a 17-13 lead.  In the second half, fitness seemed to be an issue, not so much for the teams, but for the officiating crew, all of whom seemed to be approaching 60 years old and overweight.  Apparently, the event host had some difficulty arranging referees, and had to do some last minute scrambling to obtain referee coverage.  Longwood took a brief lead, before giving it back to Coastal Carolina for good about midway through the second half.  Coastal Carolina was the best team on Saturday.  They were big, fit, aggressive and knowledgeable.  Longwood matched them in every category but size and points.

Emily Levine (October 20, 1944 – February 3, 2019) was an American humorist, writer, actress and public speaker who lectured on science and the human condition. Levine has been recognized as a philosopher comic. "In her celebrated career, Levine has been part of an improv comedy group, written for television sitcoms, done stand-up comedy, and wrote and performed an Emmy-winning series of commercial satire segments for television." She has earned the greatest praise for her one-woman shows, "Myself, Myself, I'll Do It Myself" and "Common Sense".

Early life
Levine was born on October 20, 1944, in Nashville, and brought up in Connecticut and Brooklyn. Levine and her family moved quite frequently due to her father's career as a doctor. Levine eventually settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in order to attend Harvard University. While at Harvard, Levine began to act alongside fellow students such as John Lithgow. Levine graduated cum laude from Harvard University earning a degree in English and Social Relations. After graduating, Levine moved to Rome and found a job Dubbing (filmmaking) Spaghetti Westerns.

On returning to Brooklyn, Levine decided to put her personable skills to use and taught autistic children. Levine explained “I was naturally good because of my performing abilities. At the same time, I didn't want to turn the classroom into my own personal stage.” Levine channelled her acting potential into a late night improvisation group known as The New York City Stickball Team. The group consisted of individuals such as Robert Klein, Peter Boyle, and David Brenner. Levine was the only female within the group; a dynamic that caused relational problems between Levine and her partners. Levine explains: “We fought all the time, and you couldn’t make a cent. But although I wanted to act, at the time I was cast only as cute and ditzy. I knew if I went that route, I'd become cute and ditzy in real life." The New York City Stickball Team disbanded soon after it began, however Levine found an innate pleasure in performing comedy, and decided to continue honing her comedic skills.

Career

1977–2007
During the 1970's Levine began performing stand-up sets all around the United States. Levine's comedic style and persona has been defined as a "lean, lucid, 'lauder' of laughter". "She 'raps' about all aspects of human dynamics--like being somebody, money, or lack of it, power, violence, love. . . Emily refers to her presentation as an 'obscene overture,' but actually her slightly censorable innuendoes are balanced perfectly by her soft-peddled, hard hitting facts of life.". On February 9, 1977 Variety (magazine) wrote a small critique on Levine's early stand-up performances. The review read: "At this point, Levine has the basis of some good material, but delivery seems to be of the lecture-platform type. Levine gives the impression of being intellectual and works in a manner that gets knowing glances and a few smiles." Levine continued to work on her stand-up routines, incorporating her intellect and humor in a more refined and professional manner.

The 1970's proved to be a difficult time period for several female comedians. "Once, in the mid 1970's at New York's Improvisation, Emily Levine found her time slot threatened when a stripper in the audience stood and began to perform impromptu, inspiring another woman, a rank amateur at stripping, to join her on stage." "Another comedienne and I were watching this," remarked Levine "and we're going nuts. Because these are our time spots going down the drain. Suddenly, we looked at each other . . . and within seconds we were in the restroom. We took off our tops and went on the stage and told jokes." Levine, and countless other female comedians had several obstacles to overcome during their careers in comedy.

Levine began to write and produce a number of Emmy-award winning commercial satire segments for WNET's "Fifty-First State." WNBC's News Center 4 (based in New York City) admired her unique style of humor and realism so much so, that they hired Levine as a weekly feature to provide consumer information.

In the 1980s, Levine became a television writer and producer, working on shows such as Designing Women, Love & War and Dangerous Minds. Levine was a radio commentator for WNYC in New York. She also has created several one-woman shows: It's Not You, It's the Universe: How to Have Your Cake and Eat It Too and Lose Weight and How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Free Market. Her one woman show "Chaos, Paradox, Ballroom Dancing" examines "society's shift from Newtonian physics and all its social, ethical, cultural, political and philosophical implications to quantum physics, with all its requisite implications."

Using her clever, intellectually relevant humor, Levine created and produced pilots for new situation comedies for CBS, NBC, ABC and HBO. Levine continued writing for television throughout the later half of the 1980's. Her talent as a writer and producer began attracting the eyes of several large companies including The Walt Disney Company. Levine worked at Disney for two years, however she had several issues with the company. “The problem with Disney,” she says, “was that they treated the TV writer like a screenwriter who, in Hollywood, is a surrogate parent: The producer impregnates the writer with the seed of an idea, the writer brings it to term and then it’s taken away. Eisner would give the same idea to five writers and they would compete to win his favor. Then, when I finally capitulated and signed with Disney, they said they were so excited they were sending me a present. I was thinking, maybe a Lalique vase; I could do with one of those. I looked out the window and saw the guy coming up the walk with a three-foot-high stuffed mouse. I looked it up in the catalogue and it was $60. And they called it ‘life-size’.”

Although Levine excelled in this profession, it was not until she was invited to join a "think tank" session at the University of Southern California that she found her true calling. Levine was able to publicly speak about subjects such as Pornography and surrogate parenting. Levine explains: "People kept laughing when I said what I thought. But suddenly I realized it wasn’t derision. It was the shock of recognition. That made such a difference - understanding that people took me seriously.” Soon after, Levine was invited to another "think tank" in La Jolla. In order to prepare, Levine brushed up on physics and while doing so, stumbled onto Quantum logic. Levine quickly came to the realization that she could continue comedy while lecturing audiences on intellectual material.

Levine appeared in the 1991 film Wisecracks, directed by Gail Singer. In 1992, Levine performed at a ceremony in which the Jessie Bernard Award recipients were awarded. In the mid 1990s, Levine began to experience a strange array of symptoms including Mental fog, Osteoarthritis, and a curious lack of interest in activities that she used to enjoy. These symptoms had a negative impact on Levine's career. In 2007, Levine was finally diagnosed with a tumor on her pituitary gland. After getting her tumor removed, Levine felt compelled to continue her career in comedy, but with a twist; Levine began lecturing on the human condition and its relation to science.

2007–2019
"After working in improv, stand-up, and sitcoms, she discovered quantum entanglement and chaos dynamics and somehow found a way to build comedy acts around science - and offer them, loaded with advice and social commentary, to corporate audiences." Once she realized that she was a natural at giving humorous lectures, Levine began to perform at conferences and large events. Levine spoke periodically at TED (conferences), earning her immense recognition within the TED community. Levine spoke at an environmental awards conference in 2013 sponsored by Elbaz Family Foundation, Rolling Stone magazine, and One PacificCoast Bank, and others. In 2015, Levine spoke at a conference held by the University of California, Berkeley in which she spoke about the human condition.

Levine received praise for her unique lecturing style. Levine's love of science led her to begin creating a film called Emily @ the Edge of Chaos. In order to create the authentically scientific content of her show, Levine worked with "EST science advisor and physicist Gabriel Cwilich." The show will "take you on an explosive, thought-provoking and hilarious ride through several paradigm shifts: from Newton's rational universe through quantum physics, chaos and complexity theory. You'll never feel the same way about phase transitions again and you'll finally understand how WIMPs can be action heroes." The film includes Lily Tomlin, Leonard Nimoy, John Lithgow, and several other famous individuals. Her daughter, Abigail Sims, continues to work on releasing the entire film, as Levine died before she could finish it herself.

Lung cancer
Her diagnosis with stage IV Lung cancer emerged as a theme in her humorous writing including a blog for the Huffington Post and two blogs on her personal website entitled "The Yoy of Dying" and "Oracle Em." Levine continued to perform at conferences despite her various health concerns. In her 2018 TED Talk, "How I Made Friends With Reality", Levine expresses her feelings towards her recent diagnosis of Stage IV lung cancer, and the inevitability of her own death. "I love being in sync with the cyclical rhythms of the universe." says Levine. "That's what's so extraordinary about life: it's a cycle of generation, degeneration, regeneration. 'I' am just a collection of particles that is arranged into this pattern, then will decompose and be available, all of its constituent parts, to nature, to reorganize into another pattern."

Death
Levine spent her final years in a rural home in California with her daughter, Abigail Sims. She died at her home in Inverness, California, on February 3, 2019. Levine was confined to her bed for less than a week, she didn’t experience pain, she was able to communicate her wishes, and continue being her hilarious, quick-witted, grateful self. Levine's daughter Abigail Sims continues to run Levine's website "Emily's Universe".

Shahrdari Tabriz Cultural and Athletic Club (, Bashgah-e Futbal-e Vârzeshi-ye Shiherdari Tebriz) was an Iranian sports club most widely known for its professional football team based in Tabriz, Iran.

Shahrdari Tabriz also has futsal, basketball, road cycling, and volleyball teams.

They were promoted to the Iran Pro League after their performance in the 2012–13 season, but their promotion was revoked due to their involvement in a match-fixing scandal, and they were relegated one division to League 2. Shahrdari stopped all their professional teams in order not to accept the FFIRI's penalty. The team's license was moved to Pashazadeh Company.

Club history

The birth of the club

In 1979 Tabriz Firefighters Sports Club was formed in the city of Tabriz and started competing in the 2nd Division of the local leagues of Tabriz. They were eventually promoted to the top flight in Tabriz, and in 1985 they were renamed to Shahrdari Tabriz Sports and Cultural Club. The club eventually became one of the best teams in Tabriz alongside Tractor and Machine Sazi.

Golden Age
In 1993 Shahrdari defeated Tractor to become champions of the East Azerbaijan Province League and earned a spot in the national 2nd Division. A year later they were promoted to the Azadegan League, then the first tier of Iranian football. In their first year Shahrdari finished fourth in their group. In the 1995–96 season however, Shahrdari were relegated back to the 2nd Division. The next season they became champions of the 2nd Division and once again were promoted to the Azadegan League.

Promotion and relegation
Shahrdari Tabriz won promotion to the Persian Gulf Pro League after a 2–0 win at Mashhad and Sanat Naft's 2–1 loss at Isfahan against Sepahan Novin on June 11, 2010, ending an 11 year absence from the top division and finishing as champions in the Azadegan League.

Shahrdari was relegated at the end of the 2011–12 season. They won promotion back to the Persian Gulf Cup the following year but were relegated to the 2nd Division because of a match-fixing scandal. Shahrdari finished 2nd in the 2013–14 season and were promoted to the Azadegan League for the 2014–15 season. In the 2014–15 season, Shahrdari only escaped relegation after defeating Esteghlal Ahvaz in the relegation play-off. Before the 2015–16 season, due to financial problems, Shahrdari dropped out of the Azadegan League and were placed in the 2nd Division. Machine Sazi took their place in the Azadegan League.

In 2017, Shahrdari returned to the Azadegan League after finishing first in Group A.

Don Diego de Sandoval y la Mota (c. 1505 – c. June 1580) was a Spanish explorer and conquistador.

Biography

Sandoval was born in the town of Santa Olalla, near Toledo, around 1505. His parents, Gonzalo de Sandoval and Inés de la Mota, belonged to established Toledan families.

In 1522, aged barely 17, he crossed the Atlantic to the American continent, newly encountered by Europeans. Together with Pedro de Alvarado he set out for the conquest of Guatemala, paying his own way (horse and weapons). He participated in the founding of the city of Santiago de los Caballeros, then established himself in Cuzcatán.

Around 1533 he joined Alvarado on his journey to Quito. They first arrived in the coast of what is now the Ecuadorian province of Manabi, then had to cross the dense jungle around the Guayas River to reach the lower part of the Andes range. They arrived at a pass called Liribamba, where Sandoval and his men found another conquistador, Sebastian de Benalcazar, whose forces he joined (after the two leaders arranged for monetary compensation for Alvarado). Sandoval and Benalcazar soon became friends and with their forces advanced on the forces of Rumiñahui (who took charge of the Inca forces after Atahualpa's death) in the north.

On December 6, 1534 Diego de Sandoval was one of the first "vecinos" (citizens with rights) to receive a piece of land in the newly founded San Francisco de Quito (current capital of Ecuador). The next year he went with Benalcazar to regain contact with the Spaniards that had stayed in Santiago (now Santiago de Guayaquil) and pacify the region around the Guayas river and Puna Island. They then marched on to San Miguel de Piura through the land of the Cañari (a tribe that gave fierce resistance to the Incas during their own conquest) where they met a fleeing group of daughters of Huayna Capac (the Inca ruler before Atahualpa). Sandoval got one of them from Benalcazar, after she was taken to him and had presented herself "as the daughter of the lord of Peru, Huayna Capac". She was called 'La Coya' by the first "vecinos" of Quito. He had her baptized with the name Francisca, living with her but without officially marrying her and then returning with her to Quito. According to John Hemming "Sandoval captured a group of Inca fugitives including the sister-wife of Atahualpa who was baptized as Doña Francisca Coya (1515-1544).. the natives of Quito venerated her with pathetic passion".

He was called by Francisco Pizarro to answer some unspecified accusation but at arrival found that Lima had been besieged by an Indian revolt.
With his men he dislodged the surrounding forces from San Cristobal hill, thus getting Pizarro's thanks and absolution. He immediately returned to Quito looking for more men to stop the revolt in Perú, but the current leader of the city (Capt. Pedro de Puelles) opposed him in this so he had to go to the province of Cañar (that was under his command) to recruit 500 Cañari warriors. The Cañari had historically resisted the Inca invasions and having suffered greatly under their empire were eager to help the Spaniards. Sandoval and his Cañari forces marched south to engage the forces of Inca Manco who harassed the Spanish forces with his own. After a long struggle he managed to subdue the revolt and broker a peace between the factions fighting in the Mamaicanta highlands.

On 1536 'La Coya' gave birth in Quito to a daughter, baptized Eugenia de Sandoval Inca, who lived in Popayan and later in Anserma with her father after her mother's death and who received in 1545 a royal grant confirming her rights (Real Cédula de Legitimación) from Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (Charles I of Spain) so that she could marry Captain Gil de Rengifo (leaving numerous decedents in both Ecuador and Colombia).

In 1537 he was named Alguacil Mayor (colonial office) and increased his land holdings in Mulaló, Pomasqui and other areas around Quito. In that year he also presented his title of "Alferez" that permitted him to carry the flag of the king.

In 1538 he received a confirmation of his "encomienda" of the Cañaris from Pizarro and in 1539 he further proved his services to the crown in places like Cuzco and Popayán. He lost all his commands and was taken prisoner to Lima during the uprising of Gonzalo Pizarro.

Around 1541 he found his friend Alonso de Fuenmayor in the city of Pasto and went into business raising pigs. He was very successful with this venture.  He went to Cali and found buyers for a herd of sheep he had brought from the south and got enough money to convince Benalcazar to name him Governor and General Captain of Nevia and of the Pijao and Panchen Indians.

He then joined the forces of Lcdo. Vaca de Vega who had been sent by the crown to punish Almagro (the younger) and helped man his forces with people from the amazon regions.

On 1543 he presented the titles and commands that Benalcazar had given him but had to confront several local authorities in order to get them legalized. Through all these travails he kept his business sense and acquired many land holdings as payment for his support of the crown and its representatives.  Around 1545 he was named Lieutenant Governor and General Captain of Anserma and helped the now Viceroy Blasco Núñez Vela in his expeditions and conquests with his own money.

This same year he married Catalina Calderón de Robles (widow of Alonso Castro and later of Triana and mother of one son), paying a handsome dowry, with whom he had two daughters and many descendants in Quito.

In 1547 he heeded Pedro de la Gasca (the new crown representative) in his call to war again the rebellious Gonzalo Pizarro from whom he was in bad terms since his imprisonment in 1540, but a rebellion began in Anserma and he could not leave his post.

In 1548 he traveled to Lima and was again given "encomiendas" in Mulalo and Pomasqui (close to Quito) and returned to Quito with his family.

Around 1550 he became the owner of the area known as Mullihambato and created ranches dedicated to raising and commercialization of sheep, goats, cattle and pigs. The Quito city government gave him a special mark to distinguish his animals and special rights for their sale in the region.

There is little information from 1550 to 1559, but in that year he returns to Quito and becomes "Regidor Perpetuo de su Cabildo" (a sort of perpetual magistrate of the city). At this time he began the construction of the chapel of San Juan de Latrán next to the church of La Merced in Quito. In 156l Pope Pius IV approved said construction. In 1562 the king, Phillip II, confirmed his appointment as Regidor Perpetuo.

Around 1565 he returned to Spain to rest from his American ordeals. He visited the town where he was born and the place where his grandfather's weapons (Hernán Dianes de San Pedro) and took some of them back to Quito where they some are still held. In 1567 king Philip II gave him his own coat of arms, in which some of his exploits, like the breaking the siege of Lima, were shown.
In 1568 he returned to Quito bringing many decorations for the chapel he had built, including a couple of paintings by the Italian artist Titian and to two relics of Santa Maria de Nieva (piece of hand and foot).

1577 his encomienda of Mulalo was confirmed for two lives by the crown and on May 29, 1580 he wrote his will in Quito with the scribe Juan Carrillo. His lands in Mulalo were divided among various heirs and part of them was given to the Indians that lived there. His great wealth, that included houses, workshops, land, silver, jewels, cattle, horses went to his two daughters. His house in Quito, next to that of another conquistador Juan de Londoño, was left to his eldest daughter.

He died a few days later at the house of his son in law, Miguel Fernandez de Sandoval, and was buried in the chapel he had built for the purpose (San Juan de Letran). Due to a contract with the church of la Merced masses were to be said for him in his chapel from then on.

Michael John Arlen (born December 9, 1930, London, England) is an American writer, primarily of non-fiction and personal history, as well as a longtime staff writer and television critic for The New Yorker.

Early life

Arlen is the son of a British-Armenian writer, Michael Arlen, and former Countess Atalanta Mercati of Athens, Greece. His early childhood was spent with his family in Cannes, in the South of France. At the outbreak of World War II, he was at boarding school in England and went with his school to join a Canadian school in Ottawa, Canada. Later he transferred to St. Paul's School, Concord, NH, after which he went to Harvard College, where he was a co-President of The Harvard Lampoon and graduated in 1952.

Career

Arlen worked as a reporter on Life for five years, from 1952 to 1957, before joining the staff of The New Yorker in 1957 where he remained until 1990. His first book was Living-Room War, a collection of his television pieces centered on the Vietnam War. The book's title, a term Arlen coined, has gone on to be heavily referenced in academic and journalistic writing. His two best-known books are Exiles (focused on his childhood in the South of France) and Passage to Ararat (about his Armenian heritage),  both of them personal histories that first appeared in full in The New Yorker.

Awards

Exiles was short-listed for the National Book Award. Passage to Ararat won the National Book Award (Contemporary Affairs) in 1976.

Personal life

Arlen has four children from his first marriage. He married a second time, to screenwriter Alice Albright, in 1972, and together they raised an extended family of seven children. Alice Albright Arlen died in 2016.

Dog World was a weekly newspaper published in the United Kingdom. It was one of two specialist publications - the other being Our Dogs - catering mainly for the serious enthusiast of the pedigree dog but with content aimed at all who are interested in dogs. It should not be confused with the Dog World magazine published in the USA. The UK company ceased trading in June 2017 after being placed in administration.

Profile
Each week Dog World contains news concerning all aspects of the canine world, in particular details of current events affecting dog owners, breeders, exhibitors and those who compete with their dogs in activities such as obedience, agility, gundog work and heelwork to music. Extensive coverage is given to political issues which may affect all dog owners.
Regular feature articles include informed comment on the show scene and other competitive activities, living with dogs, veterinary topics, the dog in art, travelling with dogs, and young people and their dogs. Since 1993, the regular weekly column "A Vet's View" has been written by Professor Steve Dean, a KC Charitable Trust trustee who became Chairman of the Kennel Club in 2011.
All the major dog shows in Britain are reported on, with the principal results and photographs of the main winners, and there is comprehensive news from events overseas.

The breeds recognised by The Kennel Club each have a regular column written by an experienced enthusiast, and a major part of the paper consists of judges' reports from the shows. The listings section includes details of forthcoming canine events.
In association with companies well known in the world of dogs, Dog World runs annual points competitions to find the leading show dog, stud dog and brood bitch in each breed, sponsored by Arden Grange, Royal Canin and Lintbells respectively, as well as the Pup of the Year contest, sponsored by Nestle Purina,  in which the cream of the young animals can compete.

The Audit Bureau records a 98.8 per cent purchased average circulation figure of 11,700 print copies each week throughout 2012.

Dog politics
Dog World has traditionally published a wide cross section of opinion and has often taken issue with the Kennel Club (KC). Issues have included how the KC deals with complaints about judges' critiques. Columnists such as Steven Seymour have often been very critical of the lack of democracy in the KC. In 2010 the "Clarges Street Clarion" column written by a Kennel Club insider under the pseudonym "Trumpeter" was withdrawn due to the writer's, widely acknowledged to have been former KC Chairman Ronnie Irving, disagreements with editorial policy.

In 2008 the British dog world was shaken by the television programme Pedigree Dogs Exposed. Dog World was widely regarded as taking a softer line towards the programme and reforms that followed it than its rival Our Dogs. Most Dog World columnists took the view that PDE, although sensationalist and damaging, had made some valid points. One columnist, Kevin Colwill, was and remains largely supportive of the programme and the subsequent reforms in the pedigree word.

Dog World's website often has a majority of posters hostile to the KC and supportive of the health reform agenda although this may not be a true reflection of the feelings of the paper's readership.

Associated publications
At intervals throughout the year, free supplements are issued with the weekly newspaper, dealing with individual breeds, groups of breeds or special topics. These include a guide to the world's best known and largest dog show, Crufts, which takes place in Birmingham each March, and another supplement featuring exclusively the leading show dogs of the previous year.
Since the 1920s the company has also produced each December the glossy Dog World Annual which includes feature articles connected with the show scene, reports from around the world and advertisements from leading breeders and exhibitors.

History
What is now Dog World first appeared on 21 February 1902, under the title of Illustrated Kennel News. It was edited by George Krehl, breeder and importer of a number of breeds and former editor of the dog section of The Stockkeeper. Proprietors included a number of the most eminent personalities of the dog scene of the time.
In April 1918 the paper was renamed Country World and Illustrated Kennel News, this title lasting just under a year as the name Dog World was adopted on 4 April 1919.
Of its editors, the longest serving in subsequent years were Phyllis Robson in the 1930s and 1940s. Robson bred Bulldogs but was better known for her successful Afghan Hound Ch. Asri-Havid of Ghazni. She often travelled to America and was described by Bengtson as "one of the emerging dog world's first international celebrities." On becoming editor, she retired from judging.

Editor in the 1950s and early 1960s was the famous all-breed judge Leo Wilson. He had a successful kennel of Smooth Fox Terriers.

Ferelith Hamilton, later Somerfield, one of Britain's best known dog judges, edited the paper from 1967 to 1986. She was followed by Simon Parsons, noted Corgi breeder and judge, to 2003.

The next editor, Stuart Baillie, was a departure in that he was not a "dog person" but a professional journalist. Baillie forged a partnership with Kerry Williamson, the company's Managing Director, that modernized and developed the paper. Baillie undertook a buy out of the paper in November 2007 and become joint-owner with Williamson.
After Williamson's death Baillie became the sole owner of the company. He took over the role of managing director and, after a period operating under interim editors, the editorship passed to Damian Duro.
Under Baillie's direction the company has moved into video production with dog world.tv. and it directs/produces the Horse and Country TV programme Around the Dog World. The programme first launched in 2011 and includes footage and interviews filmed at a variety of championship dog shows throughout the UK. On 8 June 2017 the company went into administration (formally announced on 13 June in The London Gazette); trading ceased on 23 June.

was a Japanese feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period, located in Tōtōmi Province. The domain was centered in what is now the Sagara district of Makinohara city, Shizuoka Prefecture. The site of the Sagara jin'ya is now the Sagara Elementary School.

History
In 1710, Honda Tadaharu, lord of Ibo Domain in Mikawa Province was transferred by the Tokugawa shogunate to Sagara, on the coast of Tōtōmi Province and his revenues were raised from 10,000 koku to 15,000 koku. The Honda clan ruled Sagara for three generations, until Honda Tadayuki was transferred to Izumi Domain in Mutsu Province in 1746.

The Honda were replaced by Itakura Katsukiyo, who ruled for only three years before being transferred to Annaka Domain in Kōzuke Province. Sagara was then returned to the Honda clan in the form of Honda Tadanaka, formerly of Komoro Domain in Mikawa; however, it was reclassified as only a minor 10,000 koku domain at this time.

In 1767, Sagara Domain was awarded to Tanuma Okitsugu, who rose from very humble status as a page to Shōgun Tokugawa Ieshige, to chamberlain, and then grand-chamberlain and rōjū  under Shōgun Tokugawa Ieharu. He was also elevated to the status of daimyō when he was awarded Sagara Domain, and over the years increased its revenues from 10,000 koku to 57,000 koku. Sagara prospered greatly under his economic reforms, and a road was built linking it to the great Tōkaidō highway connecting Edo with Kyoto. However, after Tokugawa Ieharu’s death Tanuma Okitsugu soon fell from favor, and reduced in rank and income. His grandson, Tanuma Okiaki, inherited a domain reduced back to its former 10,000 koku status in 1787, and less than a year later, was transferred to Shimomura Domain in Mutsu Province. Sagara Domain became a tenryō territory ruled directly by the Shōgun.

However, in 1823, his son Tanuma Ogimasa was allowed to return to Sagara, where he and his descendants remained until the Meiji Restoration. The domain had a population of 310 samurai at the start of the Meiji period. The domain maintained its primary residence (kamiyashiki) in Edo at Kanda, until the An'ei (1772–81) period, and at Hanjo at the time of the Meiji restoration.

In February 1869, the final daimyō of Sagara Domain, Tanuma Okitaka, was transferred by the new Meiji government to the short-lived Kokubo Domain in Kazusa Province and Sagara Domain was absorbed into the new Shizuoka Domain created for retired ex-Shōgun Tokugawa Yoshinobu.

Contemporary Whitehead Studies (CWS) is an interdisciplinary book series that publishes manuscripts from scholars with contemporary and innovative approaches to  the studies of Alfred North Whitehead.

The book series was founded in 2009 with Rodopi as a special series in the Value Inquiry Book Series. In 2011 the series moved to Lexington Books, an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield.

Editors
 Roland Faber, Ph.D., Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University, USA
 Brian G. Henning, Ph.D., Gonzaga University, USA

Mission
CWS especially seeks projects that:
 explore the connections between Whitehead and contemporary continental philosophy, especially sources, like Heidegger, or contemporary streams like poststructuralism,
 reconnect Whitehead to pragmatism, analytical philosophy and philosophy of language, as a matter of source and recourse for an understanding of the tradition out of which Whitehead formulated his philosophic concepts or as a matter of engagement in areas that have excluded Whitehead,
 explore creative East/West dialogues facilitated by Whitehead's work,
 explore the interconnections of the mathematician with the philosopher and the contemporary importance of these parts of Whitehead's work for the dialogue between sciences and humanities,
 reconnect Whitehead to the wider field of philosophy, the humanities, the sciences and academic research with Whitehead's pluralistic impulses in the context of a pluralistic world,
 address Whitehead's philosophy (and, per example, of philosophy per se) in the midst of contemporary problems facing humanity, such as climate change, war & peace, race, and the future development of civilization.

Affiliated Project
Contemporary Whitehead Studies is affiliated with the Whitehead Research Project.
