Green River Ordinance is an American rock band from Fort Worth, Texas, United States. Their name refers to Green River Ordinances, laws which prohibit door-to-door sales unless the house's owner gives permission to do so.

History

Early years
Bassist Geoff Ice and guitarist Jamey Ice are brothers. Early in their career (circa 2003), the band regularly did opening gigs with Flickerstick in Texas, and by 2005 had toured with Collective Soul and played with Eisley and Mutemath, among others. The band's initial releases, a 2005 full-length and a 2007 EP, were both released on the small independent label For Mona. Their debut release for Virgin Records, Out of My Hands, was released in February 2009, and garnered comparisons to 1990s mainstream rock acts such as Sister Hazel, Third Eye Blind and Matchbox 20, as well as contemporaries like Augustana and The Fray. Out of My Hands peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The single "Come On" reached No. 17 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 late in 2009; the single "On Your Own" reached No. 37 on the same chart in 2010.

2009 and 2010

In 2009 and 2010, GRO saw two Top 40 radio singles, songs on over 20 television shows ("So You Think You Can Dance", "The Hills", "The Young and the Restless"), two music videos on MTV and VH1, as well as tours with several nationally touring artists, such as Goo Goo Dolls, Collective Soul, Switchfoot, Train, Lifehouse, and American Idol winners David Cook & Kris Allen. Billboard Magazine even stated, "Green River Ordinance has established itself as a pop-rock act to keep an eye on in 2010."  GRO's original song "Rise Up" was featured on the AT&T Team USA Soundtrack (2010) alongside Mariah Carey, 3 Doors Down, Train, and Rascal Flatts.  Their Capitol/Virgin Records debut album Out of My Hands and various singles were featured on Zune, Walmart.com, AmazonMP3, iTunes, Rhapsody, and Napster as Staff Picks, Song of the Day, What’s Hot, Track of the Week, and other promotions.

GRO left EMI on August 6, 2010 and 14 days later proceeded to go on tour with Goo Goo Dolls and Switchfoot. Also, they were featured on every episode of MTV's show "If You Really Knew Me" and also had their video "On Your Own" featured after shows during credits on MTV, all of this while being independent of any label ties.  On September 6, 2010, GRO released "The Morning Passengers - Acoustic Sessions EP" to iTunes only, and it reached No 3 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, as well as the No. 39 on Billboard Independent Albums.

2011
After leaving EMI, GRO turned to Kickstarter to raise over $40,000 from their fans in order to produce a new album. While recording the new album, amidst touring, they released two additional EPs: Songs We Like From Before We Were Born and Waterhope.

2012–2014
The band released their third studio album, Under Fire, on February 28, 2012.  They began a national tour, "Under Fire - The North American Tour," on March 29, 2012 in support of album, with Graham Colton as their opener. The album was fully funded by their fans, through the launch of a Kickstarter campaign over a year earlier. The album features the hit Texas Country song, "Dancing Shoes," as well as "Heart of Me."

2015–present
On September 23, 2015, the band announced that their fourth full-length studio album, Fifteen, would be released on January 22, 2016, through Residence Music.

Charity work
In April 2010, Green River Ordinance launched their own charity site, in order to help make a difference for those less fortunate. Through this site, Green River Ordinance offers ten songs for purchase and information on five charities each member of the band picked. The consumer can select which of the songs they would like to purchase and select which band member's charity they would like their money to go toward. 100% of the proceeds go to the charity of the consumer's choice.

On October 8, 2010, International Justice Mission released the compilation album Freedom exclusively through Family Christian Stores as a joint effort to raise funds and awareness to end global slavery.  Green River Ordinance is featured with their song "Don't Give Up."  They are alongside the biggest names in contemporary Christian music and are one of the only secular artists on the compilation due to their zealous passion on the topic of slavery.  13,000 physical units were sold the first week in stores.

On October 15, 2010, Green River Ordinance was direct support for Bon Jovi in Gulf Shores, AL as part of the BP-sponsored concert series "Concerts for the Coast," done in hopes of attracting tourists to the region in the off-season during the oil spill recovery.   There were 37,000+ people in attendance.

Beechwood is a historic house at 495 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built in 1868, it is prominent locally as a fine early example of Stick style architecture, and as one of the first houses to be built that became one of the city's upper-class neighborhoods.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
Beechwood is located near the transition point on the west side of downtown Southbridge between its commercial area and adjacent residential parts of Main Street.  It is set on the south side of Main Street, between South and Marcy Streets.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a complex cross-gabled roof configuration and a mostly clapboarded exterior. The roof is covered in multi-colored slate, and is mainly a side gable, although a clipped gable facing front ends a perpendicular ridge set atop a projecting section. The roof eave is adorned in places with brackets, and in the front-facing gable with bargeboard.  A single-story porch shelters the left section of the main facade; it has paneled square posts, a low balustrade, and open-spandrel arches.  Windows on the projecting right-side section are separated from each other by decorative wooden paneling.

The house was built in 1868 as a wedding gift from Jedidah Marcy to his granddaughter, and was one of the first houses of the early Victorian style to be built in Southbridge.  It was also one of the first built in that section of Southbridge, an area that would not be fully developed until the 1890s.  Its porch, while typical of later buildings, shows details that are indicative of the earlier Italianate styling.  The Marcys were descendants of one of Southbridge's early settlers, and the house was built nearly across the street from the family homestead (where the Notre Dame Church now stands).

An echo vowel, also known as a synharmonic vowel, is a paragogic vowel that repeats the final vowel in a word in speech. For example, in Chumash, when a word ends with a glottal stop and comes at the end of an intonation unit, the final vowel is repeated after the glottal stop but is whispered and faint, as in  for  "arrow" (written ya).

Languages
In modern Sanskrit, echo vowels are often added in pronunciation to the visarga.

In Rukai, an Austronesian language, vowels are pronounced as full vowels but are predictable and disappear when they are under reduplication or when a suffix beginning with /a/ is added to the word:

Similarly, in the related Uneapa, echo vowels are added after a Proto-Oceanic final consonant, such as *Rumaq "house" > rumaka.

The Makassaric languages also occurs the echo vowels with stems ending in final /r/, /l/ or /s/. E.g. /botol/ "bottle" is realized as bótolo in Selayar and Coastal Konjo, and as bótoloʔ in Makassarese (the latter regularly adds a glottal stop to the echo vowel). This echo vowel is dropped if a suffix is added, but retained if followed by an enclitic.

Echo vowels have also been reconstructed for Proto-Macro-Jê.

Syllabaries
Echo vowels are also found in writing, especially with syllabaries. For example, a word kab may be written as if it were kaba, and keb would be written as if it were kebe. Such a system is found in Maya, with complications depending on the quality of the preceding vowel. In Linear B, such final consonants were simply not written. However, consonant clusters were separated with echo vowels: the city of Knossos is written as if it were Konoso (Linear B: , ko-no-so).

In Ainu, some writers write final /r/ with a subscript kana for ra, re, ri, ro or ru, depending on the preceding vowel, but others use a subscript ru in all cases.

The Alexis Boyer House is a historic house at 306 Hamilton Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built in 1888, it is a good local example of Queen Anne/Stick style architecture.  It was built for Alexis Boyer, a political leader in the city's sizable French Canadian community.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The Alexis Boyer House is located in a residential area near its larger historic mill complexes, on the north side of Hamilton Street opposite its junction with Pine Street.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and mostly clapboarded exterior. A cross-gabled section projects from the middle of the right side, and there are two gabled wall dormers on the left side.  Most of these gables are decorated with elaborate stickwork.  A single-story porch extends across the front and around to the right-side projection, with a peaked gable above the front stairs.  It also has a feature otherwise unusual for Queen Anne houses, an exterior rear staircase, which is believed to have originated among the French Canadians.

The house was built in 1888 for Alexis Boyer, a builder and political leader of the sizable French Canadian community in Southbridge.  The immediate neighborhood had developed as a French Canadian enclave due to the presence of a Catholic church that catered to that group.  Boyer is known to have built a significant number of triple decker residences in the city.  His political activities included service in the state legislature and on the state Democratic Party organizing committee.  The house is architecturally distinguished for its relatively rare surviving gable trim.

Ralph Alanson Sawyer (January 5, 1895 – December 6, 1978) was an American physicist and a leader in American science.

A New Hampshire native, he graduated from the Atkinson Academy in 1911 and in 1915 from Dartmouth. He then went to the University of Chicago where, under the direction of R. A. Millikan, he finished his PhD in 1919, a time during which he also served as a scientific liaison officer in the United States Navy. At the invitation of Harrison M. Randall, Sawyer then joined the faculty of the physics department at the University of Michigan, an affiliation that he retained for his entire career.

At Michigan, he began by doing work in ultraviolet spectroscopy for studies of atomic structure; he also did much to develop industrial applications of spectroscopy. In later years, his talent for administration brought him to positions of scientific, military, and academic leadership that extended beyond his formal retirement from Michigan in 1964.

Sawyer was the civilian director of the 1946 Bikini atomic bomb tests, president of the Optical Society of America from 1955 to 1957, and was awarded the Frederic Ives Medal in 1963. He was also dean of the graduate school and vice president for research at the University of Michigan.

Sawyer died in 1978, at 83 years of age, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

In India, basketball is a popular sport, with a multiple club league system, as well as men's and women's national teams. Indian basketball made significant improvements, most notably in 2015, making them one of the top emerging continental teams.

History

Basketball was brought to India in 1893–4 by Canadian T. Duncan Patton, who later returned to India as the Acting General Secretary of the Calcutta YMCA from 1903–5. The game was initially most popular among women, although slow to spread. The country's first match is recorded as 1930 by some sources, with the first Indian National Championship for men being held in 1934 in New Delhi. The Basketball Federation of India (BFI), which controls the game in India, was formed in 1950.

Basketball in India as of today
Basketball is played in most Indian high schools, colleges and universities. There is considerable patronage for the game among the younger generation. It is played by both men and women of all ages and ability. Many government institutions have professional basketball teams who play for them. For example, ONGC in Uttarakhand, Indian Overseas Bank in Tamil Nadu, Indian Bank in Karnataka, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited in New Delhi, Indian Railways, and Kerala State Electricity Board in Trivandrum play for their respective institution and state.

There are many championships for senior, junior, and youth levels for boys and girls. Invitational all-India tournaments like Master Prithvinath Memorial, Don Bosco Invitational Tournament, Kiloi Invitational Tournament, Ramu Memorial and many other are being organised every year. Indian basketball has championships throughout the year for different age groups. Championships for youth are mainly between April and July when children have their summer break from school.

Basketball is especially popular among the Tibetan exile community in Dharamshala.

Being one of the earliest countries to adopt basketball, India has so far produced numerous talented basketballers who have earned recognition in the international arena. Indian players have also won several trophies for their country. Basketball in India is mainly being run and managed by a large number of national and state level associations, spread all over India. These basketball associations are working with a common view of popularising the game in all parts of the country. Apart from that, developing the overall infrastructure for the game and uncovering new talent from the grassroots level are some of the other principal objectives of the Indian basketball associations.

India's first ever professional basketball league UBA was started in 2015. UBA completed four seasons in India.

Basketball Federation of India
The Basketball Federation of India was established in 1950 and is the official governing body of basketball in India. It follows FIBA rules for organising basketball championships and is affiliated to FIBA Asia and the Indian Olympic Association.

League system
India created its first professional basketball league, titled Universal Basketball Alliance (UBA), in 2015. The first winner of the UBA was Chennai Slam. The tournament was folded in 2017 after it completed its fourth season and in 2022 the league was replaced with the EPBL and the developmental INBL.

The National Basketball Championship is national level basketball tournament for both men and women, organised by the Basketball Federation of India, contested among the regional state teams affiliated under the federation.

International support and influence

NBA in India
The National Basketball Association has realised the immense potential of the sport in this large and growing market, and is working hard with the Basketball Federation of India to expand its popularity.

2008
Late in 2008, NBA great Robert Parish came to India as part of the NBA/WNBA Hoop School Program. This relationship further expanded into a cultural exchange, which saw Bollywood superstars Lara Dutta and Dino Morea make a trip to watch the Los Angeles Lakers in action, and on 8 April, 2009, saw the NBA inaugurate a refurbished basketball court in a Mumbai suburb.

2015
In April 2015, Canadian Sim Bhullar made his professional debut in the NBA, becoming the first player of Indian descent in the league. Two months later, Satnam Singh Bhamara became the first Indian to ever be selected in the NBA by being the 52nd pick in the 2015 NBA draft for the Dallas Mavericks. He'd also been the first player to be drafted as a high school postgraduate since 2005.

2017
In April 2017, India on track (IOT) collaborated with NBA to form NBA Basketball Schools to train kids and teach them to play the NBA way. There are more than 12 centres running around the country from Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and many more.

2019
The first ever NBA games in India took place on 4 and 5 October 2019 at the NSCI Dome in Mumbai. The NBA India Games featured two preseason games between the Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers, and marked the first time that teams from a North American sports league played in India.

IMG Reliance joint venture
In June 2010, a deal was struck with the Basketball Federation of India and the IMG-Reliance joint venture which aimed to take Indian basketball to a professional level. The 30-year deal sees IMG Reliance take control of the game launching a league, controlling merchandise, developing infrastructure and other commercial aspects in this new development. The BFI will launch and control school and college leagues with assistance from IMG. IMG Reliance will also construct academies in India in line with the IMG Florida sports academy. In July, coaches from Florida came to India to select 8 boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 15 to take to the US on a scholarship. The first batch was selected and is preparing to undertake the scholarship at IMG Florida. More scholarships will be offered with the aim of launching India's first professional league in four years. IMG chief Ted Fortsmann and Reliance owner Mukesh Ambani see the IPL as a perfect model to use.

One of the first people to have been accepted to the IMG Reliance program, Satnam Singh Bhamara, had also declared to go for the 2015 NBA draft while coming straight out of the IMG Reliance program as a post-graduate. When Bhamara was selected by the Dallas Mavericks as the 52nd pick of the draft, he would be the first player to have been drafted directly out of high school without any additional international, college, or D-League competition since Amir Johnson back in 2005.

India Rising
Founded as best Indian diaspora basketball team, they participate at various international events, such as The Basketball Tournament.

The Building at 25–27 River Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts, is one of two similar triple-deckers built during a housing boom related to the success of the nearby Hamilton Woolen Company.  The relatively plain form of these buildings is in contrast to earlier, more ornate styles that preceded their construction.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
25–27 River Street is located east of the former Hamilton Woolen Company plant, on the south side of River Street between Oliver and Cross Streets.  It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and an exterior of modern siding.  Its front facade is mostly covered by a three-level porch, each level supported by round columns.  The building original had a spindled balustrade, but this has been replaced by sided construction. The main entrance to the building is via a three-level porch on the right side, with outside stairs providing access to the upper floors.  The roof is flat, with a projecting but relatively plain cornice.

This building was erected sometime between 1910 and 1920, these years following the construction of the Hamilton Company's "New Mill" across the street.  The economic success of the Hamilton Company and its accompanying construction was in contrast to other Massachusetts mill communities, which went into decline during this period.  The mill across the street was shuttered in 1935 following a strike.  Of six triple deckers built in the 1910s and 1920s on River Street, only it and 29-31 River Street remain.

The Building at 29–31 River Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts, is one of two once similar triple-deckers built during a housing boom related to the success of the nearby Hamilton Woolen Company.  Of six such houses built in the 1910s and 1920s on River Street, only it and 25-27 River Street remain.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, since when its historic integrity has been compromised.

Description and history
29–31 River Street is located east of the former Hamilton Woolen Company plant, on the south side of River Street between Oliver and Cross Streets.  It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and an exterior of modern siding.  Its front facade was once mostly covered by a three-level porch, each level supported by round columns; the upper porches have been removed.  The main entrances to the building are via a pair of doors in the surviving ground-floor porch.  The roof is flat, with a projecting but relatively plain cornice, and an extension over where the porches were located.  The relatively plain form of these buildings is in contrast to earlier, more ornate styles that preceded their construction.

This building was erected sometime between 1910 and 1920, these years following the construction of the Hamilton Company's "New Mill" across the street.  The economic success of the Hamilton Company and its accompanying construction was in contrast to other Massachusetts mill communities, which went into decline during this period.  The mill across the street was shuttered in 1935 following a strike.  Of six triple deckers built in the 1910s and 1920s on River Street, only it and 25-27 River Street remain.  Both have had their historic integrity compromised by exterior changes; in the case of this building, removal of the porches and application of modern siding is particularly significant.

Deane Brewster Judd (November 15, 1900 – October 15, 1972) was an American physicist who made important contributions to the fields of colorimetry, color discrimination, color order, and color vision.

Education
Judd was born in South Hadley Falls, Massachusetts and attended Ohio State University and Cornell University, where he received a Ph.D. degree in physics in 1926. He was a Munsell Research Associate in colorimetry at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in Washington, D.C. in 1926.

Career
In 1927, Judd joined the National Bureau of Standards' permanent staff where he remained until his retirement in 1969 and subsequently continued as a guest worker. During this time he "… made monumental contributions to the science of colorimetry." In addition to his work in research and standardization related to color he represented the United States in international commissions on color science. He was the U.S.'s representative in colorimetry in eight meetings of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) from 1931 to 1967 and thereby a key force in the development of the CIE standard system of colorimetry, with its definitions of standard observers in 1931 and 1964, standard illuminants B and C, work resulting in upgraded daylight illuminants like D6500, definition of colorimetric purity and other matters. Largely responsible for the coining of the term “psychophysics” he wrestled throughout his career with the relationship between color stimuli and color perception.

Colorimetric system: Judd introduced the concept of keeping luminosity and chromaticness separate in the CIE system. He was active in the colorimetric definition of color temperature and introduced the CIE colorimetric system to U.S. industrial industries. Together with D. L. MacAdam and G. Wyszecki, he used in 1964 the method of principal component analysis to demonstrate that natural daylights are largely composed of three components from which daylights at any correlated color temperature can be defined (CIE method of calculating D-illuminants).

Color difference: In a series of papers in the 1930s, Judd represented then-available color scaling data first into a chromaticity diagram based on color matching functions introduced by the Optical Society of America in 1922, then represented the resulting diagram in a Maxwell-type primary triangle, and finally the resulting unit difference ellipses into the CIE chromaticity diagram. This work became the basis for the CIE u,v color difference diagram in 1960, slightly modified into the 1976 CIELUV color difference space. In 1939, he was instrumental in developing the NBS color difference formula. When in 1947 at the suggestion of the U.S. National Research Council the Optical Society of America (OSA) undertook to develop a perceptually uniform color space, Judd became its chairman and remained in that position until 1968, when David L. MacAdam assumed the chairmanship, with results published in 1974. One of the key findings was “that strictly uniform color scales of all kinds are not homologous with Euclidean space” to which Judd proposed a solution implemented in the OSA Uniform Color Space.

Systematic color names:  The perceived need for systematic naming of colors resulted in 1939 in ISCC-NBS Method of Designating Colors, based on the Munsell color system, with a revised edition published in 1955.

Color constancy: Judd in 1940 and later, together with Helson and Warren in 1952, presented results of meticulous work on the subject of color constancy.

Miscellaneous:  In connection with his work at NBS, Judd investigated impaired color vision, whiteness measurement of paper, opacity, color stimulus measurement, a flattery index for artificial light sources, and other subjects. In 1951, he proposed a modification of the CIE 1924 luminous efficiency function V(λ) below 460 nm that became known as Judd-modified V(λ), not implemented in the CIE system but used in some vision research work.
In addition to his positions at the CIE, Judd was president of the Optical Society of America from 1953–1955 and of the Inter-Society Color Council from 1940-1944. He was president of the board of trustees of the Munsell Color Foundation from 1942-1972. (1)

In his homage, the International Colour Association, AIC, instituted a prize that since 1975 is bestowed every two years to persons who have made relevant contributions in color research: the AIC Judd Award.

Publications
Judd was the author of Color in Business, Science, and Industry, published in three editions, the latter two in collaboration with G. Wyszecki (the third published posthumously). He is the author of more than 200 articles. A selection of 57 of these was published by the NBS in 1979.

Jan Hřímalý (, also Ivan Voitsekhovich Grzhimali; 13 April 1844 – ) was an influential Czech violinist and teacher, who was associated with the Moscow Conservatory for 46 years in 1869–1915.

He was born in Pilsen, Bohemia (then part of the Austrian Empire), the second son of the organist and composer Vojtěch Hřímalý (1809–1880), and a member of a notable Czech musical family. He was taught by his older brother Vojtěch Hřímalý jr., and by Moritz Mildner. Hřímalý studied violin at the Prague Conservatory (1855–1861), and went on to become leader of the Amsterdam Orchestra (1862–1868). In 1869 he was appointed violin teacher at the Moscow Conservatory. He succeeded Ferdinand Laub as professor of violin studies 1874–1915. He was leader of the Russian Musical Society Orchestra in Moscow from 1874 until 1906.

He was acquainted with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who held him in high regard. He co-premiered Tchaikovsky's String Quartets Nos. 2 (1874) and 3 (1876). In March 1882, he appeared in the first performance (private) of Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A minor and may have also appeared in the public premiere in October, although this is not certain.

He made a very early recording on wax cylinders of the Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor by Anton Arensky, with the composer at the piano and the cellist Anatoliy Brandukov. This recording was made shortly after its composition and is almost certainly its first recording, although it is not complete.

He was considered an outstanding teacher. His students included Iosif Kotek, Reinhold Glière, who dedicated his Octet for Strings, Op. 5, to his teacher; Paul Juon; Vladimir Bakaleinikov; Arcady Dubensky; Stanisław Barcewicz, Pyotr Stolyarsky (the teacher of David Oistrakh, Nathan Milstein, and many others); Nikolai Roslavets; Konstantin Saradzhev; Alexander Petschnikoff, Mikhail Press, Alexander Schmuller; and possibly Mitrofan Vasiliev, the first violin teacher of Jean Sibelius.

He published a number of technical exercises and studies, some of which were valued by Jascha Heifetz, and he died in Moscow in 1915.

All his siblings were musically talented. Together with his brothers, Vojtěch (1842–1908), Jan Bartulomeus Čestmír (1844–1915), and Bohuslav Ferdinand Wenzl (1848–1894), they started the first string quartet in Bohemia. His sisters, Maria Regina (1839–1924) and Anna Jana (1840–1897) were renowned singers in Salzburg, Austria.

The Building at 38–42 Worcester Street is a historic six-unit triple decker in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built sometime between 1878 and 1898, it has features influenced by the area's then-growing French Canadian immigrant population, including its outside porches.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
38–42 Worcester Street is located in the area north of downtown Southbridge known as "The Flats", which was heavily developed beginning in the late 1880s with densely built worker housing.  It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a low-pitch roof that extends over a porch that extends across the front and halfway down each side.  The porch is accessed via front-facing stairs at either end, and shelters outside stairs that provide access to each of the building's six units.  This type of porch is found in other buildings of Southbridge that were built by or for French Canadian immigrants. The original porch had turned posts that gave it a lacy Victorian appearance, a detail that has since been lost.

The house was built sometime between 1878 and 1898, when development of The Flats was begun to provide additional housing for workers at the American Optical Company, one of Southbridge's leading employers.  By 1898 the area had several clusters of closely built three-deckers, of which this was one.  In the early years of the 20th century, the area was developed more intensively, filling in the gaps with more three-deckers.  Of the ones built during the first phase of development, this one is the best preserved.

Monique Williams (born 23 September 1985) is a New Zealand sprinter from Tokoroa.

Williams became the first New Zealand female sprinter to win a gold medal at a major world championship event, when she won the 200 m at the World University Games (Universiade) in Belgrade during 2009.

In doing so she became only the second Kiwi sprinter to win gold at a world event, after Don Jowett won the 220 yards at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games.

Williams was selected as the flag Bearer for New Zealand at the 2009 Universiade.

During her development years, in 2006 she was awarded a New Zealand Prime Minister's Scholarship from Helen Clark, recognising Williams as an emerging and talented New Zealander.  Williams won three consecutive New Zealand Athletics titles in the 100, 200 and 400 m in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Williams broke the New Zealand national record for 200 m which had stood for almost 31 years, when she ran 22.98 in February 2009. She then ran 22.96 in the heats of the IAAF 2009 World Championships in Athletics in Berlin, before running 22.90s in the final, a record which lasted until 19 February 2023.

In 2009 Williams was named Auckland's North Shore Sports Personality of the Year and was short-listed for the Halberg Awards.

Williams graduated from Waikato University with a Bachelor of Education in primary school teaching and is a qualified primary school teacher.

The Building at 52 Main Street is a historic triple decker residence in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built early in the 20th century, it is a good example of period worker housing with French Canadian immigrant design features.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
52 Main Street is located east of downtown Southbridge, on the north side of Main Street between Maple and Crystal Streets.  It was built during a housing boom brought about by the success of the nearby American Optical Company, during which larger house lots on Main Street were subdivided and built on with this type of worker housing.  In this instance, the present three-story building was built as a replacement for an older two-family residence.  This building is of wood frame construction, with a clapboarded exterior and low-pitch gable roof, and is set on a brick foundation.  Its network of exterior porches is a locally distinctive feature brought by French Canadian immigrants, wrapping around two sides of the house and sheltering staircases that provide outside access to the upper level residential units.  These types of porches are commonly found on surviving triple deckers of the first two decades of the 20th century.  The porch railings were originally in the more delicately featured Queen Anne style, with turned posts bracketed at their tops and spindled balusters, but those have been replaced by square posts and balusters.

Brian Andrew DuBois (April 18, 1967 – February 12, 2023) was a left-handed American Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher who played for two seasons. He played for the Detroit Tigers for six games during the 1989 Detroit Tigers season and 12 games during the 1990 Detroit Tigers season. Dubois had been traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the Tigers for Keith Moreland on July 28, 1989. On September 6, 1989, he picked up a rare five-inning save. DuBois pitched five shutout innings and picked up the save during an 11–5 Tigers victory over the Royals. It was his only save at the MLB level.

DuBois attended Reed-Custer High School in Braidwood, Illinois, from 1981 to 1985. On Tuesday, June 6, 1985, DuBois ended an All-American high school pitching career with a 5–0 win over Litchfield (IL) High School during the Illinois Class A State Championship Title Game. In the Comets' 5–0 triumph over Litchfield, DuBois struck out 12 and came within one slip of pitching his second no-hitter in three tournament appearances. He threw 75 pitches in the state title game, 57 of them strikes. In one stretch, he struck out four batters on 12 pitches.

In 13 innings, he struck out 29 batters, walked three, allowed a blooper hit and even picked two men off first base. Minutes after the title game, DuBois found out he had been selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the fourth round of the free-agent draft.

DuBois' struck out 226 batters in 1985. It remains the all-time highest number of strikeouts during one season in Illinois High School Association's (IHSA) baseball history. During the 1985 season, DuBois pitched 109 innings, recorded an ERA of 0.06 with 3 no-hitters.

During his varsity career at Reed-Custer High School, DuBois had an ERA of .074, and struck out 626 batters in 295 innings. His 626 career strikeouts remain the second all-time highest in Illinois' high school history.

DuBois died in Wilmington, Illinois, on February 12, 2023, at the age of 55.

The Central Mills Historic District encompasses a historic mill complex on the Quinebaug River in central Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Located at the corner of Foster and North Streets, the site consists of three brick buildings, the oldest of which has portions dating to 1837.  Despite being extensively rebuilt in the early 20th century, the complex has an appearance that is more typical of 19th century mills.

The Central Manufacturing Company was established in 1837, and was one of Southbridge's major employers well into the 20th century.  The company built its premises on the site of Southbridge's earliest grist- and sawmills, and the town grew around the facility.  By late in the 19th century most New England textile mills were in decline, due to increased competition in the South.  However, Central Manufacturing embarked on a major renovation of its plant in 1908.  It knocked a significant portion of the 1837 plant, and built the present two story brick structure, with the surviving 1837 section attached to its rear.  The building is in the Romanesque Revival style, with rounded arch windows and a small tower.

In addition to the main factory building, there are two other buildings in the complex.  One is a small single story office building, also built in 1908 and with Romanesque Revival styling.  This building is on the same parcel as the main building.  The third building is a more utilitarian brick warehouse, built 1915, which is located across North Street (but also fronting on Foster) from the main building.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

The Centre Village Historic District encompasses the historic central business district of Southbridge, Massachusetts.  The district includes properties on Main Street, roughly between Elm and Goddard Streets.  The central area represents a fairly well preserved Late Victorian commercial center.  It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Description and history
The area that is now the city of Southbridge was settled in 1713, and was incorporated out of portions of Sturbridge and Charlton in 1816.  Its center was long a civic meeting space, with a meeting house at the site of the present Central Baptist Church, and the adjacent cemetery.  Its industrial development also began early, with sawmills and gristmills on the banks of the Quinebaug River.  In the 19th century, the city experienced rapid growth, as the waters of the river were harnessed for the manufacture of textiles and optical equipment.  Main Street (now Massachusetts Route 131) developed as both a commercial center, and as the place were the city's business leaders built their homes.  The result is a central commercial area with commercial architecture dating from the 1840s to the 1910s, along with a series of high-quality homes of the same period.

The historic district extends along Main Street for about , from Hamilton Street in the west to Coombs Street in the east.  Anchoring the east end of the district is the 1810s house of Ebenezer Ammidown, whose family one of the leading forces in the creation of both the city's mills and its downtown.  The house now serves as a local cultural center.  Prominent at the western end of the district is the former Universalist Church, a Greek Revival structure built about 1840.  Commercial buildings lining Main Street in between date mainly from 1840 to 1900, and are a combination of wood-frame and brick buildings in a diversity of styles.  Prominent civic buildings include the Jacob Edwards Library, a fine Georgian Revival building built in 1914 to a design by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham.

Roswell Clifton Gibbs (July 1, 1878 – October 4, 1966) was Chairman of the Department of Physics at Cornell University from 1934 to 1946. A graduate of Cornell, he became an assistant professor of Physics there in 1912, and a professor in 1918. His research primarily concerned spectroscopy, and he was the  author or co-author of over forty research papers. As Chairman of the Department of Physics, he hired distinguished physicists including Stanley Livingston, Robert Bacher and Hans Bethe, who later won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work at Cornell. After World War II, Gibbs was Chairman of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Division of the National Research Council.

Early life
Roswell Clifton Gibbs was born in Hume, New York, on July 1, 1878, the son of Orlando Charles Gibbs and his wife Frances  née Beaderslee. He was educated at schools in Hume and Pike, New York. He married Clara Laura Davis on 22 August 1901. In 1903, he entered Cornell University, from which he received his degrees of Bachelor of Arts (AB) in 1906, Master of Arts (AM) in 1908, and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in 1910.

Physicist
As a physicist, Gibbs's primary area of interest was spectroscopy. At the time, this was the fairly new and exciting field of research in physics. Physicists investigated the emission and absorption of radiation, creating an understanding of atomic structure. The new theory of quantum mechanics attempted to explain phenomena at the atomic and subatomic level. Gibbs was the author or co-author of over forty research papers, on subjects such as the ultraviolet spectra of isoelectronic sequences, and the hyperfine structure of spectra. He determined the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron by studying the intervals between the H-alpha lines of hydrogen and deuterium, and investigated the absorption spectra of organic compounds in solution.

Gibbs became an assistant professor of Physics at Cornell in 1912, and a professor of Physics in 1918. He rose to chairman of the Department of Physics from 1934 to 1946. As chairman, he moved the thrust of physics research at Cornell to nuclear physics. He hired Stanley Livingston, who had worked with Ernest Lawrence at the University of California, Berkeley, to build a cyclotron at Cornell, and Hans Bethe as a theoretical physicist, and Robert Bacher as an experimental physicist. In this, he was opposed by the Dean of the Graduate School, fellow Cornell-educated physicist Floyd K. Richtmyer, who wanted the department to concentrate on his own field of research, X-ray spectroscopy. Bethe would work at Cornell for seven decades, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967 for his work on stellar nucleosynthesis.

Later life
During World War II, Gibbs struggled to meet the department's commitments in the face of the departure of key members of staff to do war work, including Bethe and Bacher, who played key roles in the Manhattan Project. He retired from Cornell in 1946, and moved to Washington, D.C., where he became the chairman of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Division of the National Research Council. He subsequently became chairman of the advisory committee to the U. S. Army's Office of Ordnance Research. He was a consultant to the National Research Council's Nuclear Data Project, and the supervisor of its exchange-visitor program. He was also the editor of the Directory of Nuclear Data Tabulations for many years.

Gibbs a member of the Optical Society of America, serving as its president from 1937 to 1938, a Fellow  of  the American Physical Society  and  member  of the American Association of Physics Teachers, serving as its president in 1942 and again from 1944 to 1946, and  the  American Association for the Advancement of Science, of which he was vice-president in 1945). He was also a member of Phi Kappa Phi, and was its president for a time.

He died on October 14, 1966.

The Chamberlain-Bordeau House is a historic house at 718 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built sometime between 1855 and 1870, it is one of the best preserved Italianate houses in the city.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The Chamberlain-Bordeau House is located west of downtown Southbridge, on the north side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 131) near its junction with Sayles Street.  It is a somewhat boxy two-story wood-frame structure, with a shallow pitch hip roof and clapboarded exterior.  The roof has deep eaves with paired Italianate brackets., and the building corners have wooden quoin blocks.  The main entrance is sheltered by a hip-roof portico supported by grouped columns with brackets forming an arch.  Windows are rectangular sash, with projecting window caps.

The land on which the house stands originally belonged to the Plimpton family, who were among Southbridge's first settlers.  A Plimpton house, differing in placement and orientation, is recorded as standing on this property in an 1855 map.  This house was built sometime between 1855 and 1870 for Captain John Chamberlain, an insurance agent.  In the 1890s it was acquired by Gilbert Bordeau, a box maker, who owned it until 1920.  At the time of its construction it was the only house on the north side of that section of Main Street; development of the rest of the immediate area followed in the next few decades.

Wilbur B. Rayton was president of the Optical Society of America from 1933–34.

Born in 1884, Wilbur Rayton was a charter member of Optical Society of America. He spent his career as a member of the Bausch & Lomb staff but also taught at the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics from 1929–1931.

In 1926, he served on a committee (along with T.R. Wilkins of the University of Rochester and Loyd A. Jones of Eastman Kodak) that outlined possible courses to be offered in the proposed new Institute of Optics. He was also active in the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and designed cameras for that organization. In 1926, he developed a petrographic microscope.

Rayton's lens design skill did much to advance astronomical observation. He specialized in designing objectives for high-speed cameras for astronomical spectrographs. In 1937 Rayton designed a lens that was described as the "world's fastest". Its speed was f:0.59—6.5 times faster than the f:1.5 lenses used in minicameras of the day. Astronomer Milton Humason used Rayton's lens to observe star clusters beyond the Milky Way Galaxy. The lens cut the time it took to make spectrographic readings of remote objects in half.

When the Journal of the Optical Society of America began publication in 1917, Rayton published an article in the very first volume on reflected images in spectacle lenses. In all, he published five articles in JOSA, including one that described the needs of the criteria of optical glass for the budding U.S. optics industry.

Rayton died in 1946.

The Chapin Block is a historic commercial building at 208-222 Hamilton Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built in 1888, it is the only Shingle style commercial building in Southbridge.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The Chapin Block is located in Globe Village, a predominantly residential area just north of Southbridge's downtown, occupying a narrow plot of land at the junction of Hamilton and Crane Streets.  The building is set to advantage on the oddly-shaped narrow triangular lot, giving the building a flatiron appearance with a rounded point.  It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a small tower (that once held a clock) at the point were Hamilton and Crane Streets meet.  It is finished in wooden shingles, and has a modillioned cornice.  There are four storefronts on the front of the building (facing Hamilton Street), each with plate glass windows flanking recessed entries.  This layout dates to the early 20th century.  On the Crane Street side, the building's brick basement is exposed, providing a series of building entrances at that level. The first floor on that side is largely plain, while the second floor has a projecting balcony.

The block was built in 1888 by Francis Chapin, a local bank officer and real estate developer, and provided local shops for the area residential neighborhood, and a meeting hall on the second floor.  Early occupants of the retail spaces included a candy store, barber, tobacconist, and clothing store.  It was sold by Chapin shortly after its construction to J. J. Delahanty, owner of a local furniture store; it remained in his family until 1972.

Jon Kortajarena Redruello (born 19 May 1985) is a Spanish fashion model and actor. He has landed advertising campaigns for Just Cavalli, Versace, Giorgio Armani, Guerlain, Bally, Etro, Trussardi, Diesel, Mangano, Lagerfeld, Pepe Jeans but notably H&M, Zara, Guess and Tom Ford for his consecutive seasons with the brands. On 26 June 2009, Forbes ranked Kortajarena eighth in The World's 10 Most Successful Male Models.

Career

Early life and career
Kortajarena was born in Bilbao, Biscay, Basque Country, Spain. He was discovered in September 2003 while vacationing in Barcelona and accompanying a friend who was invited to attend a fashion show. While there, a booker noticed him and persuaded him to give the fashion world a go. His first professional experience was in a Madrid Fashion Week show for Roberto Verino. He left Bilbao, his hometown, and ventured into the fashion industry in Paris. In 2004, at the age of 18, Kortajarena became the face of Just Cavalli for Roberto Cavalli's spring campaign which quickly jet started his career. He made his international fashion show debut at the fall Milan and Paris fashion weeks for Emporio Armani and John Galliano. Two months later, in New York, Steven Meisel photographed him for Versace. Kortajarena's other runway credentials include walking for Chanel, Versace, Balmain, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, Salvatore Ferragamo, Carolina Herrera, Giorgio Armani, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gautier, and Valentino in Milan and Paris. Kortajarena appeared in a commercial for the sugar-free Fanta Z "Mediterraneo", a TV ad in 2005 which poked fun at the departed Fanta Lite. Its content, though, quickly drew complaints in Britain and it eventually became restricted to the post-9 PM broadcasts.

2007–2009

In 2007, Kortajarena signed with Guess and renewed his contract again in 2008. With new campaigns on the stands, Terry Richardson photographed Kortajarena for Tom Ford alongside Noah Mills and became the label's signature male model for the next consecutive seasons. He was featured on the cover of the spring/summer 2008 issue of L'Officiel Hommes magazine, devoting him 200 pages, with the cover title reading "200 Pages of Fashion with Jon Kortajarena".

It was the first time a male model had achieved this and consequently it became a reference in the industry; other models to follow such honor were Andres Velencoso and Arthur Sales. For the 2009 spring men's wear and eyewear advertising campaigns Jon was art directed and photographed, for the first time, by Tom Ford himself.

On 26 June 2009, Forbes published its list of The World's 10 Most Successful Male Models ranking Kortajarena in 8th place. In November Kortajarena was named by German GQ as Model of the Year. Spain's Marie Claire awards "Prix de la Moda" awarded him Best Spanish Model for 2009.

2010–present
Breaking into 2010 with ad campaigns for H&M, True Trussardi and Esprit; Kortajarena modeled alongside Alexa Chung for Pepe Jeans fall/winter Campaign. He was in the Next autumn/winter campaign and in its TV advert that launched on 10 September, alongside Emanuela de Paula.

In 2011 he was selected as one of the models to star in Lacoste's $66 million new advertising concept under the new tagline, "Unconventional Chic". The ads were shot by Mert and Marcus showing models wearing the iconic white Lacoste polo shirts worn over eveningwear. He fronted the cover of the March 2011 issue of Vogue Spain alongside Anja Rubik and compatriot Andres Velencoso. Described as "an icon of charm and masculinity", Kortajarena was chosen as the protagonist for the special video version of Roberto Cavalli Men's Spring/Summer 2012 runway and opened the show held at the Palazzo Serbelloni in Milan. For the fall campaigns he became the face of David Yurman for the third consecutive time and was photographed by legendary photographer Peter Lindbergh.

Kortajarena played Alex in one episode of the 2020 Amazon Prime Video series Tales from the Loop.

Personal life
Kortajarena speaks Basque, Spanish, and English. He went to an ikastola school until he was 10 years old, but due to traveling he went on to enroll in public, private, and Catholic schools thereafter. His mother is a hairdresser and she often styles his hair. If he was not modeling he would be a full-time actor; however, he notes that interior designing and photography are some fields he has always been curious about. His hobbies include watching films, reading books by Hermann Hesse, sunbathing, going to the mountains with friends, and listening to music. He describes himself as an 'ultimate romantic'. Some of his favorite novels include Perfume, The Wheel of Life by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and Siddhartha.
Between 2014 and 2016, Kortajarena dated Welsh actor Luke Evans.

The Alpha M. Cheney House is a historic house at 61 Chestnut Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  It was built in 1881 for Alpha M. Cheney, then one of the largest shareholders in American Optical Company, one of Southbridge's largest employers.  Designed by Barker & Nourse of Worcester, the house is one of Southbridge's best surviving examples of high Victorian Gothic styling.  The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
Alpha M. Cheney (1834-1897) was the son of a local deacon, and received his education at Nichols Academy before beginning employment in the spectacle manufacturing trade.  He acquired an interest in R. H. Cole, probably after working there, and was one of the principals in the founding in 1869 of the American Optical Company.  At his death he was reported to have "a large amount of property including one of the finest private residences in Southbridge."

Cheney's house occupies a large lot at the northeast corner of Chestnut and Cisco Streets in a residential area east of downtown Southbridge.  The house is  stories in height, with steep gables that are ornamented with Stick style decorations.  It has a turret with a projecting gables on the four sides of the steep roof, and a projecting front porch with ornamented railings and turned posts.  The property also includes a carriage house that was built around the same time, and is similarly styled.

The house was built in 1881 to a design by Barker & Nourse of Worcester.  At the time, Chestnut Street only had a few houses on it, including a series of houses across the street which Cheney had apparently built as worker housing on his estate.  This was a common means by which other leading businessmen in Southbridge provided housing for their workers.

Joseph C. Salema is the former Chief of Staff to New Jersey Governor James Florio, a position he held from 1990 to 1993. Salema resigned in the Spring of 1993 amid intensifying media scrutiny during an investigation of illegal misconduct while serving the State of New Jersey.

He lives in Wenonah, New Jersey and is the married father of two children.

Armacon Securities Scandal
Prior to becoming the Governor's Chief of Staff in 1990, Salema joined in a partnership with longtime friend and associate, Nicholas Rudi, within the Armacon Securities firm. Seven months after being named Governor James Florio's Chief of Staff, Salema engaged in a blind trust with Armacon Securities, in what was later speculated to be an attempt to conceal a personal interest.

Investigation
In 1990, Mark Fitterman, the Associate Director of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Market Regulation division, led the investigation into whether the Merrill Lynch investment bank took part in an illegal pay to play scheme in the sale of $2.9 billion in New Jersey Turnpike bonds. In the sale of such bonds, it is considered advantageous for an investment bank to attain the lead manager mandate, as these banks customarily keep 50% of all underwriting fees.

It is during the prospective sale of these bonds (in February 1990) that Armacon Securities' cash holdings increased from $4,600 to $412,000; Armacon's assets skyrocketed from $10,100 to $665,577 and their net capital increased in similar fashion from $8,100 to $395,710.  Armacon Securities prospered greatly while performing extremely little underwriting during this period. In 1991, the following year, Armacon took in $727,800 in underwriting fees, while its total operating expenses were less than $50,000. The firm operated without any staff to sell the bonds, no clients to buy the bonds and very little capital with which to finance an inventory.

In the three years that Joseph Salema served as the Governor's Chief of Staff, Armacon Securities received over one million dollars in underwriting fees while lacking the necessities a firm would require to operate as an underwriter.

In 1993, Armacon Securities became a familiar name in the daily news media. Journalists became increasingly aware that a chief aide to the Governor of New Jersey was a partner in a firm that was managing to post robust returns while remaining virtually inactive. By May 1993, Joseph Salema willingly resigned amid growing public sentiment that he had inappropriately made use of his position to funnel cash and assets into his firm. Salema and his legal representation denied being the subject of the federal inquiry, claiming the resignation was a measure to spare Governor James Florio further political embarrassment.

Guilty Plea and Sentencing

At the conclusion of the federal investigation, Joseph Salema was formally indicted in February 1995 for the acceptance of kickbacks in exchange for influencing New Jersey state bond deals.

Salema pleaded guilty to the federal charge of sharing in more than $200,000 in kickbacks. In August 1995, he was sentenced to six months in a halfway house and six months of home confinement. Salema was also fined $10,000 and required to serve 1,400 hours of community service. (His Armacon Securities partner, Nicholas Rudi, was later acquitted of all federal charges after going to trial in June 1996).

In a subsequent civil suit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Joseph Salema reached a settlement, paying $324,764.55 without admitting or denying liability.

The Moggy Hollow Natural Area is a  nature preserve in Far Hills, Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. As the Wisconsin Glacier advanced, Glacial Lake Passaic formed eventually rising until it found an  outlet at Moggy Hollow, draining to the Raritan River.  It was designated a National Natural Landmark in January 1970.

Geology
The Wisconsin glacier expanded and closed off lower height gaps to the north, forming Lake Passaic. As the lake continued to grow to a maximum depth around , it found its outlet out of the basin at Moggy Hollow at the western edge of the lake. The ledge of harder basaltic rock at  above sea level served as a spillway for Lake Passaic carving a deep ravine out of the softer soil as the lake drained. Even as the glacier retreated, Moggy Hollow remained the main outlet due to debris left at Millburn until Little Falls and Paterson emerged from the ice.  There were several post glacial lakes which formed above Moggy Hollow, bringing the ledge to its current height.

History
The property is owned and managed by the Raritan Headwaters Association.  Most of the current site was donated to the association on November 4, 1967, by J. Malcolm Belcher, a former mayor of Far Hills, on behalf of the Belcher family. The remainder of the site was acquired from Leonard J. Buck.

Visiting
The ravine is located adjacent to and above the Leonard J. Buck Garden. Visitors can either ask to cross the Buck Garden to reach the lower portion of the ravine, or park above on Liberty Corner Road to access the top of the ledge. Portions of the hollow are steep and dangerous.

The J. M. Cheney Rental House is a historic house at 32 Edwards Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  It is a well-preserved vernacular Victorian house exhibiting details in a number of different styles.  It was built in the late 19th century, during a second phase of construction in the Hamilton Street area that replaced larger properties of wealthier owners with smaller, more densely site, middle-class housing.  This house was built for J. M. Cheney, treasurer of the Litchfield Shuttle Company, who owned several properties in the area, including the adjacent Kinney House, and also lived nearby.  There is no hard evidence the property was intended for use as a rental, but this seems likely.

The basic house layout, a three-wide side-hall plan, was typical of the period, but the house's ornamentation is not.  The window caps and the rounded gable window are Italianate in styling, but there is also a steeply pointed Gothic-style gable dormer, and the gable ends are decorated with Stick style ornaments.  The front porch exhibits both Italianate and Queen Anne styling, with turned posts, brackets, and a decorative rectangular patterned balustrade.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Keāhole Point is the westernmost point of the island of Hawaii. The Kona International Airport was moved here from directly north of the town of Kailua-Kona in 1970, when the previous smaller airstrip was converted into the Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area. The name comes from Ke āhole since the āhole fish (Kuhlia sandvicensis) was found nearby.

Between the airport and the coast lies the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii.  Most of the land was formed in 1801 by the Huehue lava flow from Hualālai.  This flow extended the shoreline out an estimated 1 mile, adding some 4 km2 of land to the island.  The southern part of this point is sometimes referred to as Kalihi Point.

The Ahupuaa (ancient name of the community in this area) was Kalaoa, still used by the census.
The site includes a house platform, a walled enclosure, a debris pile with volcanic glass and marine shells, and a larger wall.
Probably the home of a common family, an excavation in 1975 estimated occupation from about 1500 to 1800.
On January 14, 1989, the Kalaoa Permanent House Site was put on the state register of historic places as site number 10-27-10,205. On November 21, 1992, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as site number 92001552. It was described as site 81 in a 1930 survey by Reinecke, and site 8 in a 1975 survey by Rosendahl & Kirch, and site HA-D15-12 on a state survey. Just south of this area is the area known as Ooma.

The Clarke–Glover Farmhouse is a historic house at 201 South Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built about 1830, it is a good local example of Greek Revival architecture.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The Clarke–Glover Farmhouse is located in a predominantly residential area west of downtown Southbridge, at the southwest corner of South and High Street, on a large level lot fringed by iron fencing.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a front-facing gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.  The building corners have paneled pilasters rising to a full entablature and fully pedimented gable.  The main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the right bay.  It is recessed in a paneled opening, which is framed by pilasters and topped by a peaked gable.  Within the recess, the door, a modern replacement, is flanked by sidelight windows.  A two-story ell extends to the rear.

The area where the Clarke-Glover house was built was primarily farmland until the early 19th century, when South Street began to be lined by houses of established and well-to-do families on spacious lots.  This house was built c. 1830 by Lemuel Clarke, on land that once belonged to his father, Moses Clarke.  When originally built it probably had Federal styling, but this was modified sometime thereafter during the Greek Revival, which is its present style.  After Clarke died in 1845 the house was acquired by R. Glover, who is thought to have done the remodeling.  Glover owned the house through much of the second half of the 19th century.

Friedrich Gottlieb Süskind (February 17, 1767 – November 12, 1829) was a German Protestant theologian born in Neuenstadt am Kocher.

In 1783, he began his theological studies at the Protestant seminar in Tübingen, later embarking on an extensive journey throughout Germany (1790). Afterwards, he served as "pastor repentant" at Tübinger Stift, followed by a vicariate in Stuttgart (1795). Between 1795 and 1798, he served as a Diakonus (deacon) in Urach. In 1798, he became an associate professor at the University of Tübingen, and in 1805 returned to Stuttgart, where he was appointed Oberhofprediger and Konsistorialrat. In 1809, he was involved in the liturgical reorganization in Württemberg.

Süskind was a disciple of Gottlob Christian Storr (1746–1805), and a prominent member of the so-called Ältere Tübinger Schule (conservative Tübingen theologians). Within this group he excelled in the field of dialectics. His work was primarily directed to the apologetic and dogmatic fundamental questions of Christianity. During his career, he was in constant conflict with proponents of Kantian and Fichtean philosophies.

With Johann Friedrich Flatt (1759-1821), he was editor of the "Magazin für christliche Dogmatik und Moral" (Magazine for Christian Dogmatics and Morals).

The E. Merritt Cole House is a historic house at 386 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built in the early 19th century and restyled sometime between 1855 and 1878, it is a distinctive local example of Gothic Revival architecture.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The E. Merritt Cole House is located adjacent to Southbridge's central business district, on an isolated lot that is accessed from the parking lot in front belonging to Consumer Auto Parts as of 2021. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Portions of the exterior have the siding applied either vertically or at an angle, and there are panels decorated with diamond motifs.  The main facade is three bays wide, and is dominated by a central two-story gabled portico, supported by square posts.  A single-story porch extends to the right side, and a secondary entrance on the left side is sheltered by a gabled portico.

The house was built in the early 1800s by Jacob Edwards, and acquired its present Gothic Revival appearance as the result of a renovation between 1855 and 1878.  This work was done for E. Merritt Cole, treasurer and a founding shareholder of the American Optical Company, a major local employer.  The house's distinctive styling appears to have been an inspiration for similar but more vernacular treatments on worker housing in the area. The house was briefly turned into a law office in the 1990s into the early 2000s.

Crandell Addington (born June 2, 1938, in Graham, Texas) is an entrepreneur and poker player who is best known as one of the founders of the World Series of Poker, and is a member of the Poker Hall of Fame.

Poker
Known as "Dandy" because he was always well-dressed, Addington was a regular player in the Texas poker circuit in the 1960s.  In 1969, he won the Texas Gamblers Convention in Reno, Nevada; it was there that the idea for the World Series of Poker was conceived. At the time, Addington was already a self-made millionaire who played poker primarily for fun; for him, the game was more about personal challenge.

Addington participated in the first World Series of Poker in 1970 along with Amarillo Slim, Doyle Brunson, Sailor Roberts, Puggy Pearson, and Carl Cannon. Addington made the final table of the WSOP Main Event almost every year from 1972 to 1979, and still holds the record for most final table appearances (seven). He finished second on two occasions, losing to Johnny Moss in 1974 and Bobby Baldwin in 1978.  However, since the WSOP Main Event was winner-take-all until 1978, most of these appearances were not in the money finishes.

Although he is no longer an active player and has not had a tournament cash since 1990, fellow Hall of Famer Doyle Brunson has described him as a "No Limit Hold'em Legend".

In 2005, Addington took another shot at a WSOP win when he returned to Vegas to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame, but did not fare as well as he had in the 1970s.

As of 2008, his total live tournament winnings exceed $160,000.

Business
Addington graduated from Southwestern University with majors in economics and accounting. He left his professional poker career in the 1980s to put his business degree to work. Over the course of his 40 years as an entrepreneur, he founded successful businesses ranging from chemical manufacturing to oil and gas exploration.

He is the currently the CEO, Chairman, and Director of Phoenix Biotechnology, a company that focuses on cancer treatment research.

The Comins-Wall House is a historic house located at 42 Hamilton Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built about 1850, it is a distinctive local example of a Greek Revival cottage with later Victorian embellishments.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1989.

Description and history
The Comins-Wall House is located in Southbridge's central business district, on the east side of Hamilton Street near its junction with Hook Street.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof.  Its front facade is finished in wooden clapboards, and the sides are covered in asphalt shingle siding. Its corners have pilasters, which rise to an entablature that runs along the sides.  The front facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the left bay and two sash windows to its right; another two sash windows are found in the gable above.  The entrance is framed by sidelight and transom windows, slight recessed in an opening with flanked by slender paneled pilasters.  A single-story porch extends across the front, with chamfered square posts rising to decorative jigsawn brackets.

The -story Greek Revival cottage is estimated to have been built in 1850, probably for a J. Comins, who was listed as its owner in 1855. The cottage, a fairly typical middle-class house of the period, is a rare survivor of a fire that swept the area in 1863.  The front porch was probably added in the 1880s.  This change may have been made by George F. Wall, a tailor and cloth dealer who owned it in the 1870s.

The National Republican Trust Political Action Committee is a conservative political action committee run by Scott Wheeler. According to the group, they are "not an official RNC committee".  They describe themselves as "conservative Republicans dedicated to helping restore the GOP to its historic conservative roots by mobilizing like-minded Republicans nationwide."

Fundraising
Carrie Dann, writing for Congress Daily, described the National Republican Trust as an "aggressive fundraising group".  The trust has said that it does not accept money from corporations, and relies on small donations from individuals in the $25–50 range.

During the 2009 run-up to the United States Senate special election in Massachusetts, 2010, the trust contributed $95,000 to the election of Scott Brown.

Ad campaigns
On November 1, 2008,  just days before the United States presidential election between Barack Obama and John McCain, NBC ran an NRT anti-Obama ad featuring Jeremiah Wright during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live.  According to Newsweek,  "the ad attacking Obama's former pastor was slick, with much better production values than the crude Reverend Wright videos running on the Internet. But it was too little, too late."  Dann reported that the ad cost more than $11 million.

In 2010, NRT produced "Kill Ground Zero Mosque",  a 60-second ad "urging Americans to oppose the building of a mosque two blocks from New York's Ground Zero".  According to the ad, "On Sept. 11, they declared war against us, and to celebrate that murder of 3,000 Americans, they want to build a monstrous 13-story mosque at Ground Zero." NBC and CBS rejected the ad due to its "vague language".

In November 2010, it was reported that five Fox affiliates and one ABC affiliate owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group had broadcast an infomercial critical of then-President Barack Obama, Breaking Point: 25 Minutes that will Change America, which was sponsored by NRT. The infomercial painted Obama as an extremist, and claimed that, during the 2008 presidential campaign, he received some campaign money from the Hamas terrorist group, and that Obama said in a speech, "You want freedom? You’re gonna have to kill some crackers! You gonna have to kill some of those babies." The special also discusses Obama advisers Van Jones and John Holdren, as well as Obama staff Anita Dunn, Kevin Jennings, Carol Browner and Cass Sunstein – all in an unflattering light; in one case, the special claimed that Holdren said that trees should be permitted to sue humans in court. The infomercial aired at various times during the weekend of October 30, 2010 on Sinclair-owned stations in Madison, Cape Girardeau, Lexington, Pittsburgh, Des Moines, and Winston-Salem – all in swing states vital to the 2010 elections.

John Malachi (September 6, 1919 – February 11, 1987) was an American jazz pianist.

Early life
Malachi was born in Red Springs, North Carolina on September 6, 1919, and grew up in Durham, North Carolina. At the age of ten he moved with his family to Washington, D.C. He was a self-taught musician.

Later life and career
Malachi was a member of the epochal Billy Eckstine Bebop Orchestra in 1944-1945 and again in 1947. He also worked with Illinois Jacquet in 1948, Louis Jordan in 1951, and a series of singers including Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Al Hibbler, and Joe Williams.

Malachi opted out of the traveling life of the touring jazz musician in the 1960s, living roughly the last decade and a half of his life in Washington, D.C. freelancing, playing with touring bands and artists when they stopped in Washington, and leading music workshops at clubs like Jimmy MacPhail's Gold Room and Bill Harris's Pig's Foot. Malachi's generosity towards younger musicians was legendary. One of the musicians he helped influence recalls that younger players referred to his workshops as "The University of John Malachi".

John Malachi is the great-grandfather of Carolyn Malachi. The singer, poet, and rap artist received a Best Urban / Alternative Performance Grammy Award nomination in 2011.

The E. B. Cummings House is a historic house at 52 Marcy Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built in the 1870s, it is an unusually late example of Greek Revival architecture with Italianate embellishments and later Victorian additions.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1989.

Description and history
The E.B. Cummings House is located in a residential area northwest of downtown Southbridge, at the southwest corner of Marcy and Edward Streets. It is the smallest but best preserved house of those at this corner, which was a fashionable residential area in the mid to late 19th century.  The house is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.  Despite a construction date well past the typical period for Greek Revival styling, the house has paneled corner pilasters, and sidelight and transom windows around the door, elements characteristic of that style. It also has Italianate details such as double brackets in the eaves, roof pitch, and front porch. A number of other elements, such as the second floor bay window, are later additions.

The house was built in the 1870s for Edwin B. Cummings, co-owner of a hardware store on Main Street.  The neighborhood had been a desirable location for the city's business elite since the 1850s, and the neighbors were either prominent local businessmen or agents for the city's mills.  The other houses at the corner, while of greater size and originally more stylish, have had their historic integrity compromised by the application of synthetic siding.

Dennison School House is a historic school building (now a private residence) at Dennison Lane in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built about 1849, it is the city's only surviving rural district schoolhouse built in brick.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The former Dennison School House is located in a rural setting of southwestern Southbridge, on the east side of Dennison Lane near its junction with Dennison Crossing.  It is a modest -story brick structure, with a gabled roof.  The main facade is three bays wide, with sash windows on either side of the entrance, which has a small transom window.  A wood-frame ell extends to the right.  The gable ends on the sides are framed in wood and finished in siding.

The building's location is believed to be the first place in Southbridge to be occupied by a school, because a school was documented to stand here in 1795, when the area was still part of Sturbridge.  The present building is estimated to have been built in 1849, based on its modest Greek Revival design.  It is unusual for the use of brick in its construction; the only other brick school from the period is the larger one in the city center.  The building was probably originally built with its entrance at one of the gable ends, a typical placement for small schools.  Only one other rural district school survives in the city; it is a heavily altered frame structure that has also been converted to residential use.

"On My Radio" is a song by English 2 tone ska revival band the Selecter, released as a single on 5 October 1979 by 2 Tone Records. It peaked at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for nine weeks, and became their most successful single.

Background and recording
"On My Radio" was originally written by Neol Davies whilst a member of another band, the Transposed Men, before the Selecter had been formed. "On My Radio" criticises radio as seen with the lyric "It's just the same old show on my radio", but also jokes at the expense of radio that the singer's lover prefers to listen to the radio than to them.

Interest in the Selecter had grown after the release of their first single "The Selecter" which had been released earlier in 1979 as the B-side to the split single "Gangsters" by the Special A.K.A. They supported the Specials on tour and signed to 2 Tone Records, who gave them £1,000 to record a single.

At Coventry's Horizon Studios, however, the group did not want to record "On My Radio" as a single, as they thought it sounded “like a Eurovision entry”. Producer Roger Lomas eventually persuaded them to record three songs (the other two being the eventual B-side "Too Much Pressure" and "Street Feeling") and let the record company decide on which to release as a single. The song is also noted for its unusual 7/4 time signature, instead of the common 4/4, which lead singer Pauline Black says was "because we just didn't know the rules".

"On My Radio" peaked at number 29 on the NME Top Singles of 1979. In 2008, Freaky Trigger placed the song at number 44 in its list of "The Top 100 Songs of All Time".
