Phuket Andaman Football Club (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอลภูเก็ต อันดามัน) is a Thai professional football club based in Phuket. The club is currently playing in the Thai League 3 Southern region.

History
In 2009, the club is formed as Phuket Football Club, nicknamed The  Southern Sea Kirins, and admitted to the Regional League South Division. Club home games to be played at Surakul Stadium. Sirirak Konthong named as the first ever coach of Phuket. In 2010 Phuket won the Southern Regional Division 2 and finished 2nd in the Division 2 Champions League after losing to Buriram FC in the final anyway the club promoted to Division 1.

In 2017, Phuket F.C. decided to dissolve the club due to financial problems about unfair contract cancellation.

In 2018, Phuket F.C. collapsed and combined with Phuket City.

In 2022, Phuket Andaman competed in the Thai League 3 for the 2022–23 season. It is their 3rd season in the professional league. The club started the season with a 1–0 home win over Muang Trang United and they ended the season with a 1–2 away defeat to Muang Trang United. The club has finished 6th place in the league of the Southern region. In addition, in the 2022–23 Thai League Cup Phuket Andaman was defeated 0–1 by Young Singh Hatyai United in the first qualification round, causing them to be eliminated.

Rental relocations are specific to certain types of rental equipment such as portable buildings, construction trailers, large generators and heavy equipment.

A rental relocation is normally required because the customer or end user of the equipment wants to move the rented item from one construction job site to another, or simply reposition on the existing site (particularly in the case of construction trailers, portable storage etc.). The key to why a relocation is necessary is that the customer does not have the resource or equipment available to move the asset.

Taxation and management
Within the United States market, different states, cities and counties may charge rental taxation based on delivery or shipping location, or based on the rental companies shipping address.

For locations such as the UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai etc.) there are no taxation requirements as taxes are not raised for rental services.

Rental management software can assist in managing rental relocations both in terms of creating shipping documentation and in terms of managing the taxation and address changes.

The Rigid-Band Model (or RBM) is one of the models used to describe the behavior of metal alloys. In some cases the model is even used for non-metal alloys such as Si alloys. According to the RBM the shape of the constant energy surfaces (hence the Fermi surface as well) and curve of density of states of the alloy are the same as those of the solvent metal under the following conditions:
 The excess charge of the solute atoms localizes around them.
 The mean free path of the electrons is much greater than the lattice spacing of the alloy.
 The electron states of interest in the pure solvent are all in one energy band, which is greatly separated in energy from the other bands.
The only effect of the addition of the solute, given that its valence is greater than that of the solvent, is the addition of electrons to the valence band. This results to swelling the Fermi surface and filling the density of states curve to a higher energy.

Theory
In a pure metal, because of the periodicity of the lattice, the features of its electronic structure are well known. The single-particle states can be described in terms of Bloch states, the energy structure is characterized by Brillouin zone boundaries, energy gaps and energy bands. In reality though no metal is perfectly pure. When the amount of the foreign element is dilute, the added atoms may be treated as impurities. But when its concentration exceeds several atomic % , an alloy is formed and the interaction among the added atoms can no longer be neglected.

Before giving a more mathematical outline of the RBM it is convenient to give somewhat of a visualization of what happens to a metal upon alloying it.  In a pure metal, we'll take silver as an example, all lattice sites are occupied by silver atoms. When different kind of atoms are dissolved into it, for example 10% of copper, some random lattice sites become occupied by copper atoms. Since silver has a valence of 1 and copper has a valence of 2, the alloy will now have a valence of 1.1. Most lattice sites however are still occupied by silver atoms and consequently the changes in electronic structure are minimal.

Basic concepts behind the Rigid-Band model
In a pure metal of valence Z1, all atoms become positive ions with the valence +Z1 by releasing the outermost Z1 electrons per atom to form the valence band. As a result, conduction electrons carrying negative charges are uniformly distributed over any atomic site with equal probability densities and maintain charge neutrality with the array of ions with positive charges. When an impurity atom of valence Z2 is introduced, the periodic potential is disturbed, conduction electrons are scattered and a screening potential is formed

where U(r) is the potential of the electrons in distance r, 1/λ is the screening radius and .

The Fermi surface of the pure metal is constructed under the assumption that the wave vector k of the Bloch electron is a good quantum number. But alloying destroys the periodicity of the lattice potential and thus results in scattering of the Bloch electron. The wave vector k changes upon scattering of the Bloch electron and can no longer be taken as a good quantum number. In spite of such fundamental difficulties, experimental and theoretical works have provided ample evidence that the concept of the Fermi surface and Brillouin zone is still valid even in concentrated crystalline alloys

In an alloy of atoms A and B, an intermetallic compound super-lattice structure tends to be formed. The chemical bonding between the unlike atoms leads to a very strong potential of the form

where   is the potential on position  due to ion X, whose position is specified by . X here stands for either A or B, so that    indicates the potential of ion A.  The RBM assumes  , hence ignores the difference in the potential of ions A and B. Thus, the electronic structure of the pure metal A is assumed to be the same as that of the pure metal B or any compositions in the alloy A–B. The Fermi level is then chosen so as to be consistent with the electron concentration of the alloy.  It is convenient to divide the predictions of the rigid-band model into two categories, geometric and density of states. The geometric predictions are those that use only the geometric properties of the constant energy surfaces. The density-of-states predictions are related to those properties which depend on the density of states at the Fermi energy such as the electronic specific heat.

Geometric structure
In a pure metal the eigenstates are the Bloch functions Ψk with energies ek. When the periodicity of the pure metal is destroyed by alloying, these Bloch states are no longer eigenstates and their energy becomes complex

The imaginary part Γk shows that the Bloch state in the alloy is no longer an eigenstate but scatters into other states with a lifetime of the order of  (2Γk)−1. However, if  , where Δ is the width of the band, then the Bloch states are approximately eigenstates and they can be used to calculate the properties of the alloys. In this case we can ignore Γk . The change in the energy of a Bloch state with alloying is then

When the perturbation is fairly localized about the solute site (which is one of the conditions of the RBM), ΔEk depends only on ek and not on k and thus . Therefore, the plot of  versus k for the alloy will have the same shape of constant energy surfaces as for the plot of versus k for the pure solvent. A given energy surface of the alloy will naturally correspond to a different energy value from that of the same shaped surface of the pure solvent, but the shapes will remain exactly the same.

Density of states
According to the Rigid Band Model  is constant (for a given energy level) and the density of states of the alloy has the shame shape as that of the pure solvent, displaced by . When the concentration of the solute a is small,  is also small and the density of states of the alloy at constant a is

where  is the density of states of the pure solvent.

In the case when  is constant we get

meaning that the shape of the density of states will be the same, only displaced by .

Calliphora loewi is part of the family Calliphoridae, bottle flies and blowflies, and in the genus Calliphora, blue bottle flies. The genus can be deceiving since C. loewi is not blue. Though this species is rare, it can play an important part in forensic entomology, spreading disease, and decomposing carrion. The life cycle of C. loewi is similar to the life cycle of the genus Calliphora. Since this species is rare there has not been very much research done with this species.

Description
Günther Enderlein, a German entomologist, first described Calliphora loewi in 1903. Calliphora loewi ranges in length from 6–14 mm. C. loewi is a rare species that can be confused with C. terraenovae because some species have a similar reddish genal groove. The head is typically a black color with the exception of the lower facial edge. The posterior of the head is concave with 3 to 5 rows of black setae, centrally with pale hairs. The frontal area of the males head is narrower than the females. The cerci in the males are long and narrow. Males also have bordering frontal orbital plates, whereas the females have frontal vita about three times the width of the frontal orbital plates. The females have very large antennae compared to normal sized antennae in males.

Food source
The maggots have hook-like mouth parts that tear apart the tissues where they live. The adults have sponge-like mouth parts in which they will first coat their food in digestive enzymes then suck up the matter. C. loewi primarily feed on dead animals but can be occasionally found on vegetation.

Distribution
Calliphora loewi is a very rare species but can be found in all parts of the world. C. loewi is widespread in Fennoscandia and Denmark and can be found limited in numbers in other parts of northern and central Europe. Specimens have been found as far east as Mongolia and Japan. The only recorded findings of the species in North America were in Alaska and Canada. C. loewi is also thought to avoid human settlements.

Life cycle
The life cycle of C. loewi has six stages: the egg, three larval stages (instars), pupae, and adult fly. The adults will lay their eggs on suitable habitats, usually carrion. Larvae will hatch within 6–48 hours after eggs have been deposited. They shed their skins three times during their larval stage. The time it takes to molt into the next instar is fairly consistent; however, temperature can be a factor. Colder weather will slow down the amount of time it takes for each developmental stage, and warmer weather will speed it up. The life cycle from egg to adult can be anywhere from 16–35 days, depending on environmental conditions.

Eggs to Larvae
The eggs of this genus are white, slightly curved, cylinder shaped and have blunt ends. Once the eggs hatch the larva stage begins. The three instars of the maggots have different characteristics. The first is less than 2 mm long and is a twelve segment skeleton with mouthparts present. The second instar has spines located on the dorsal side and has two posterior spiracle slits from which it breathes. During the third instar, the mouthparts are fully developed. The mouth-hook tooth becomes longer, and the maggot now has three posterior spiracles.

Larvae to Pupae
When the third-instar larva has finished growing (12–18 mm), it leaves the corpse and burrows into the ground where it develops into a hardened, capsule-like pupa. The brown/black pupa retains a maggot like appearance with outlines of its spiracles and skin, except now it is sclerotized. While encased as a pupa, it is unable to feed and is immobile.

Pupae to Adult
It takes around 14 days (at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit) before the pupa emerges as an adult fly. The newly adult fly is pale in color with a soft body and wings. As it matures, the fly expands its wings, and the body hardens and changes color. A mature C. loewi is approximately 6–14 mm in length. The fly then mates and will travel several miles to lay its eggs, and the cycle repeats.

Importance

Forensic
Forensic entomology is the study of arthropods and their connection to the courts of law. The family Calliphoridae is very important in forensic entomology. The genus Calliphora also has a very distinct life cycle so based on the different stages that can be found on a corpse; therefore an accurate post mortem interval can be determined.

Upon finding blowflies and or their larvae on a corpse, it is extremely important to accurately identify the correct species. For example, a semi- rounded sclerite lying behind the mouth-hook of blowfly larvae exists only in C. loewi and C. vomitoria. Since both of these species of Calliphoridae tend to be found in rural areas, an entomologist can use these characteristics to determine a region or habitat where the victim died.

Entomologists can use SDF (spiracle distance factor) values when identifying between Calliphora sp. SDF is calculated by dividing the distance between the spiracles by the greatest diameter of one spiracle. Since the greatest diameter of one spiracle tends to remain constant for each species, SDF values are very useful. To tell the difference between C. loewi and C. vomitoria, the SDF for C. vomitoria decreases (the spiracles come closer together) when the puparium transitions between the 2nd and 3rd instars. The SDF for C. loewi however remains constant (the spiracles maintain their distance between).

Medical

In the epidemiological sense, blowflies are of concern due to being possible mechanical vectors of disease. Blowfly breeding and feeding hosts tend to be decomposing animals and dung, which are covered with bacteria that consequentially come in contact with the fly. Lab studies have shown that blowflies coming in contact with agar have produced cultures that contain pathogens. Although C. loewi does breed in carrion and possibly in human feces, it remains uncertain whether it carries or transmits disease.

Ecological

They are also very important ecologically because they are decomposers. Blowflies are not only attracted to decomposing hosts but to some plants as well. C. loewi and other blowflies have been observed to be attracted to Phallus impudicus, the stinkhorn fungus, which tends to smell like carrion. The Stapelia flower, which smells like carrion and emits heat like that of decomposition, also attracts blowflies. The flower causes females to oviposit (deposit eggs from ovipositor) but it does not support past the 1st instars. Some other plants do support larvae through full development.

Research
Research has been performed using synthetic trap baits instead of carcasses to capture blowflies. In a field test, dimethyl trisulfide was used in trap baits and C. loewi and other various blowflies were caught in these traps. Blowflies are attracted to decaying hosts due to the odors produced by bacterial decomposition. Dimethyl trisulphide is probably a decomposition product from bacterial decomposition and a major attractant for blowflies looking for hosts. Dimethyl disulfide has also been used in trap baits and for the suppression of other Calliphora sp.

Future research about the behavior of C. loewi will provide more information to gain a better picture of the lifecycle which will allow investigators to better estimate the time of colonization and PMI. For medicinal purposes, the possibility that the larvae can be used in maggot therapy is currently unknown and also can be researched.

The 2009 UNLV Rebels football team was the 42nd varsity football team to represent the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The Rebels play in the Mountain West Conference and compete each season against the remaining eight members of the conference and one permanent interstate rival: Nevada. In 2009, UNLV also played non-conference games at home against Sacramento State, Oregon State and Hawaii. Mike Sanford entered his fifth and final season as UNLV's head coach and the Rebels played their home games at Sam Boyd Stadium in Whitney, Nevada.

In November, head coach Mike Sanford was fired after five losing seasons, a 16-43 record and no bowl appearances. He won his last game as head coach against San Diego State on November 28, 2009, 28-24, with a fourth quarter comeback.

Pre-season
At the 2009 Mountain West Conference Media Day in Las Vegas, the Rebels were picked to finish fifth in the conference, the highest preseason ranking since the Rebels were picked to finish tied for fifth with BYU in 2004.  ESPN NFL analyst Mel Kiper, Jr. named the Rebels, along with Miami (FL), California and SMU, as one of his sleepers that could make "national noise" in 2009.  Kiper stated: "If Omar Clayton, their quarterback, can stay healthy and get the ball to Ryan Wolfe, UNLV, I think, can go bowling for the first time in a long time and be a factor in the Mountain West Conference."  Paul Myerberg of The New York Times ranked UNLV in the 84th position in their preseason Quad Countdown, in front of Ball State and behind UTEP.  The ranking was an improvement of 27 spots from their 2008 preseason ranking of 111th.  Myerberg predicted that the Rebels would go 6-6 and earn their first bowl berth since their 2000 Las Vegas Bowl victory against Arkansas.

Junior quarterback Omar Clayton received much praise during the preseason including that from The New York Times and Mel Kiper, Jr. and was named as one of the favorites to be named the conference's Offensive Player of the Year by Bleacher Report's Mountain West Conference writer.  Senior wide receiver Ryan Wolfe was named as one of the best non-BCS receivers in the country by The New York Times and was named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list during the preseason.  Wolfe enters the season only 50 receptions and 900 yards away from breaking the conference's career receptions and receiving yards records.  Wolfe and senior linebacker Jason Beauchamp were both named to the All-MWC preseason team.

On July 3, 2009, sophomore linebacker Bryce Saldi suffered severe injuries following a skateboarding accident while in southern California.  Saldi was placed in the intensive care unit at Loma Linda University Medical Center.  There has been no word on a timetable for Saldi's return.

Sacramento State

UNLV opened their season as a 22-point favorite against FCS squad Sacramento State from the Big Sky Conference.  Both teams' passing games were hampered by the 32 mph wind gusts that were recorded around the stadium.  UNLV took a 10–3 lead into halftime after a one-yard touchdown run by junior runningback Channing Trotter and a 39-yard field goal by senior kicker Kyle Watson gave UNLV the 10–0 lead after the first quarter.  Sacramento State would get their only points of the game on a 44-yard field goal by Hornets' kicker Chris Diniz

In the second half, the Rebels would explode on offense, starting with another 1 yard touchdown run by Trotter late in the third quarter.  Trotter would score his third one-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter to push the Rebels lead to 24–3.  The Rebels increased their lead midway through the fourth on a 55-yard strike from senior quarterback Omar Clayton to senior wide receiver Rodelin Anthony.  Clayton's backup, sophomore Mike Clausen, played the final minutes of the game and sealed the Rebels victory with a 4-yard touchdown run.  The win against Sacramento State was their fourth straight opener.

José "Pocholo" del Rosario Ramírez de Arellano (January 19, 1933 – March 18, 2009), better known as Pocholo Ramírez, was a Filipino race car driver and television host. Also known as "Tito Poch", Ramirez was hailed as a racing legend in the Philippines, with a career in racing that spanned 45 years.

Racing career
Ramirez was born in Manila, Philippines. He began his racing career at the age of 30, beginning as a kart racer, then as a rally car driver starting in 1964. He won the Shell Car Rally Championship in 1966 and 1970, and was named Slalom Driver of the Year in 1967 and 1968.

Ramirez began circuit racing in 1969 and formula racing in 1974. Between 1973 and 1986, Ramirez participated in several prominent Grand Prix races in Southeast Asia, including the Macau Grand Prix, the Malaysian Grand Prix, the Selangor Grand Prix and the Indonesian Grand Prix. He placed second overall at the 1972 Macau Grand Prix (saloon car), and third overall the following year. Ramirez was named Best Southeast Asian driver during the 1978 and 1979 runs of the Macau Grand Prix.

In 1995, Ramirez established the Subic International Raceway at Zambales. The racetrack at Subic soon became the haven of hundreds of race car drivers who would train there, and would eventually host several international and local racing events.

Ramirez raced competitively until around 2008, when he was 75 and already battling cancer. In 2000, he was the Blaze Super Saloon Champion. Shortly before his death, Ramirez was inducted by the Automobile Association Philippines into its Hall of Fame.

Personal life
He is survived by his wife, Ellen, and children José André "Kookie"†, Georges, Louis, Michelle and Miguel.

In media
Ramirez was the long-time co-anchor (together with Butch Gamboa) of the racing show Motoring Today, which aired on the People's Television Network.

In 2005, Ramirez gained renewed popularity when he appeared in a popular advertisement for Petron, taking on a driving challenge that required him to traverse 1,114 kilometers across the Philippines on one full tank of gas. His tag line, "Traffic? Bring it on!" became popular and was widely imitated.

James Nyamweya (28 December 1927 – 25 September 1995) was a Kenyan politician who served in ministerial, parastatal, and political party leadership positions in both the Kenyatta and Moi governments from 1965 to 1995. He was Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Assistant Minister in the Office of the President, Minister of State in charge of External Affairs Foreign Minister, Minister of State in charge of Provincial Administration, Leader of Government Business in Parliament, Minister for Works, Minister for Power and Communication, Minister for Labour, Chairman Electoral Boundaries Commission, and National Vice Chairman of the Democratic Party.

Early life and education
Born in Kisii, Kenya, on 28 December 1927. Nyamweya was the fifth child of Pastor Paul Nyamweya and Louise Manyange. While still young, Nyamweya attended Nyanchwa Seventh Day Adventist Primary School and later moved to Kamagambo Mission School, where he excelled as a student and earned a reputation as an avid reader. Consequently, he qualified to attend Kisii Secondary School. He received a Bachelor of Laws degree from King's College London in 1958.

He served as a Barrister-at-Law at Lincoln's Inn. He served as the MP of the Nyaribari Constituency (now disestablished) from 1963 to 1976, representing the KANU party.

After the multiparty system was revoked in Kenya in 1992, Nyamweya led the newly founded Democratic Party in the Kisii area. His son George Omari Nyamweya later served as the Secretary General of DP.

Legal education
Nyamweya enrolled in a correspondence course through which he pursued his secondary education, culminating in obtaining the Cambridge School Certificate.

Nyamweya gained admission to Kings College at the University of London for undergraduate studies, where he obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1958. Nyamweya was called to the Bar in Lincoln's Inn in 1959 and became Barrister-at-Law in the same year.

Career
After completing his university education, he returned to Kenya. While studying in the United Kingdom, Nyamweya had the worked with some of the individuals who played a role in the Kenyan independence movement, including Dr Munyua Waiyaki, Sam Waruhiu, John Seroney, Mathews Muli. Upon his return to Kenya, Nyamweya initially joined a colonial government legal secretariat meant to offer legal assistance to all, which substantially helped him expand his political network and allies.

Odinga trial
Despite their position as public employees, Nyamweya and Seroney engaged in political agitation alongside Argwings-Kodhek and Mareka Gecaga, the three were also Kenyan pioneers in the legal profession. After a stint in the colonial civil service, Nyamweya resigned his job and opened a legal practice in Kisumu where he started working  with Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. The colonial administration charged Odinga with inciting Africans to rebel against the colonial government.

Nyamweya elaborated on the difficulties and intimidation African freedom fighters were encountering as they articulated the desires of African people to shed the chains of bondage in the trial. In his concluding submission, Nyamweya stated clearly that it is because of this struggle that African leaders were compelled to speak in such terms that the colonial regime misinterpreted as incitement.

In a manner characteristic of colonial magistrates, Nyamweya found himself a target of a contemptuous caution by the magistrate warning Nyamweya to stop turning the court into a platform for agitating African demands against the government. After this landmark case, Nyamweya stepped up his political activities in conjunction with other pre-independence leaders.

Elections
Nyamweya was one of the pioneer KANU leaders who drafted the initial KANU constitution.

Nyamweya eventually ran for elections alongside Lawrence Sagini, Thomas Mongare, Zephaniah Anyieni, among others. During these elections, Sagini contested the elections as a KADU candidate while Nyamweya was in KANU.

Political style
Nyamweya was a son of a pioneer Christian father, Pastor Paul Nyamweya, who was born in a religious home and schooled in mission institutions in Nyanchwa and Kamagambo. To cap it all, Nyamweya married Tabitha Moige, a daughter of Zachariah Nyaribo, a prominent Seventh Day Adventist church elder in Gesusu, Kisii. This background gave him a Christian worldview, which helped define his political style.

In one occasion, when Justus Mokamba challenged Nyamweya's election victory and lost the petition, Nyamweya refused to accept any compensation from him after the court threw out the petition and awarded costs. Instead, Nyamweya invited Mokamba for a discussion where he affirmed his desire not to seek compensation from him, and requested Mokamba to let bygones be bygones. Mokamba was stunned when Nyamweya volunteered to use his considerable influence in government to secure him a prime public service job.

Projects
Throughout his political career, Nyamweya was instrumental in initiating many community projects throughout his Nyaribari constituency such as the building of schools, churches, and cattle dips. He is renowned for being the first to introduce Harambee schools in Kisii, mainly to stop students from the area travelling all the way to Bugema, Uganda to seek secondary education. To make these projects a success, Nyamweya first embarked on activities aimed at uniting all the thirteen clans in Nyaribari so that they may work closely with him. The said thirteen Nyaribari clans were Bonyamoyio; Bonyamasicho; Mwamonda; Mwamoriango; Bonyakoni; Mwaboto; Bomobea; Boguche; Boburia; Botondo; Bokimotwe; Bosigisa and Bonyabondo.

Whenever confronted by cynics Nyamweya's discreet nature set in graciously constraining him from making an irrational, ill-considered reply. It is only after he had thoughtfully considered what to say that he answered back his critics in the most accommodating manner possible. His diplomatic ways earned him a reputation as a peace maker.

Consequently, when Mzee Kenyatta received information that Seventh Day Adventist fanatics in Kisii were uprooting tea plants in the belief that the crop was ungodly, the President turned on to Nyamweya to go and plead with the fanatics to stop engaging in such retrogressive activities. Applying his persuasive approach, it did not take long before the problem fizzled out.

Mwalimu Hotel
The teaching fraternity in Kisii will always remember Nyamweya for his outstanding contribution towards the construction of Mwalimu Teachers Hotel and Office Complex in Kisii. At that point, the local Kenya National Union of Teachers branch was experiencing a shortage of offices, and also wanted to put up a major hotel in Kisii but lacked necessary resources.

Nyamweya was the Minister for Labour when KNUT Kisii branch officials approached him for advice and assistance to obtain resources to implement the project. Nyamweya persuaded the teachers’ union branch to use the salary check-off system to collect the money required and personally ensured that the system was duly approved by the authorities concerned. This single but critical support and advice enabled the Kisii KNUT branch to realize a dream project.

Ministerial appointments
In addition to his everyday political activities, Nyamweya enjoyed a brilliant career as a trusted member of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta's government. Just before the 1963 general elections, constituency boundaries were redrawn and Kisii benefited with increased constituencies one of which was Nyaribari. Nyamweya once again entered the race and emerged a KANU winner a seat he retained for 16 years. After this well earned victory, President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta appointed him Assistant Minister for Constitutional Affairs, a ministry headed by his great friend and confidant, Tom Mboya.

After a while, Mzee Kenyatta appointed Nyamweya as Minister of State in charge of External Affairs. In a rare development in Kenyan political history, Nyamweya as a minister also served as Leader of Government Business in Parliament instead of then Vice President. Politically, these were very stormy days for Kenya as a country newly independent in an international environment characterised by the Cold War rivalry.

Inevitably, Kenya joined the Non Aligned Movement while faced with a Cabinet divided into two distinct groups, those who supported the Western Bloc and friends of the East. In his characteristic moderate stance, Nyamweya preferred the centrist position. Despite his preference, he pursued both centrist and rightist policies mainly because the largest group of the two, which enjoyed Mzee Kenyatta's ear and confidence, were rightists.

Legislation
When Nyamweya later moved to the Ministry of Labour, he used his legal background extensively succeeding in transforming the Ministry into one of the best performing at the time. Indeed, his performance in this ministry has been considered by many as the greatest achievement of Nyamweya among all ministerial portfolios he held in government. When Nyamweya took over the ministry, many labour laws and regulations needed redrafting and harmonising e.g. wages, conditions of work, occupational health, hygiene, and other legal instruments.

These were formative stages when the Ministry of Labour was developing critical employment legal instruments, which required preparation of lay drafts before their submission to the Attorney General's chambers. Nyamweya led discussions aimed at developing an employment tripartite structure and articulated the country's concerns at both local and international fora. Working hand in hand with workers, employers and government, Nyamweya was able to fine-tune the various industrial codes, for submission to the Attorney General's Chambers, which provided a solid foundation for existing Kenyan employment systems still in application today.

Training levy
On the other hand, the critical area of industrial training required legal instruments to govern training at the workplace, conditions of apprenticeship, and the training levy fund. Since in Kenya the training levy fund is industry specific, there were eleven separate funds to cater for, as a result each industry had to come up with its training levy order, which called for a rigorous legal drafting. Nyamweya made informed interventions and legal briefs, which assisted immensely in the development of comprehensive legal instruments. This work was even more challenging because each industry had unique requirements, which demanded submission of a separate draft.

Nyamweya's enormous contribution in form of comparative analysis and research, owing to his distinguished legal background, led to the development of watertight instruments difficult to abuse. The minister attained this level of perfection by applying a participative approach in form of extensive consultations among tripartite partners. Nyamweya was exceptionally good at ensuring that each lay draft was clear on the spirit of the proposed Act, which enabled the Attorney General's chambers to finalize draft bills emanating from his ministry quicker.

ILO Membership
It is while Nyamweya was minister in the Ministry of Labour that Kenya was a member of International Labour Organisation governing body. This is the body, which had the responsibility of steering ILO conventions, and recommendations globally. The responsibility of reporting to the ILO on how the Kenya government was implementing agreed recommendations and conventions was part of his portfolio. Nyamweya adopted a focused and articulated manner of reporting during the organisation's forums, and expression of the position of the Kenya government, and offered well thought out explanations on which conventions Kenya was able to ratify or was in the process of ratifying, and the hurdles the country was experiencing.

Nyamweya's proactive stance to ILO activities put Kenya in a very favourable position. The country enjoyed plenty of benefits from the organisation simply by respecting rules of the game. Consequently, this effort elevated the Kenya image abroad enormously winning the country a nomination to serve as Chairman of ILO governing body, for a period of two years.

Portfolio
At the time Mzee Kenyatta passed on in 1978, Nyamweya was Minister for Labour. In his long and fruitful political career, Nyamweya earned several ministerial and other appointments:
Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs; Assistant Minister, Office of the President; Minister of State in charge of External Affairs; Minister of State in charge of Provincial Administration;  Leader of Government Business in Parliament; Minister for Works; Minister for Power and Communication; Minister for Labour; Chairman Electoral Boundaries Commission; and Democratic Party, National Vice Chairman.

Relationships with people
All those who were privileged to work with Nyamweya describe him as a warm-hearted individual, a good friend to all, and morally upright. Despite his high academic and professional standing, nature blessed him with a rare modesty to blend well with all and sundry no matter their status in society. His actions were clear testimony to his expressed firm believe that in any competitive situation there shall be winners and losers and, therefore, once the best man or woman has won an election life must continue.

For instance, despite losing to Lawrence George Sagini in the 1961 pre-independence elections, thereafter his relations with Sagini remained cordial. Daughters of the former two political rivals, Joyce and Margaret, who were in the same school continued to enjoy a ride in any of either father's cars when it was end of term. Sagini's driver often picked up the boys, while Nyamweya's driver took the girls as they travelled to Kisii for school holidays. This close relationship extended to the political standpoints of the two political giants from Kisii. The two often consulted first before seeking the involvement of other Members of Parliament from Kisii with regard to the best position to take whenever major crisis arose in Kenyatta's government.

Friends
Due to his amiable nature, the list of Nyamweya's friends that used to visit his Nairobi and Kisii homes reads like who was who in Kenya those days. Among these were; Mwai Kibaki, Ronald Ngala, George Morara, Mbiyu Koinange, Tom Mboya (was a frequent visitor), Lawrence Sagini, Samuel Ayodo (another very close friend who was once a teacher in Kisii while Nyamweya was in the same profession).

At times, several of his friends Sagini, Mboya, and some of Nyanza MPs would unintentionally meet at Nyamweya's home, and after discussing a subject or two, they would burst into patriotic songs. It was abundantly clear that most Kenyan politicians worked together closely, in unity, and enjoyed their public life a lot immediately after independence.

Uncertainty
However, tension began to build up in the mid-sixties following the formation of the Kenya People's Union party, and following the assassination of Tom Mboya. Joyce Nyamweya clearly recalls one incidence during her April 1969 School holidays while at their rural home in Kisii when Tom Mboya made a surprise visit.

Ordinarily, Tom drove very beautiful cars and dressed smartly whether in a suit or in casual wear. However, that morning he arrived looking different, driving a ramshackle of a car accompanied by his daughter. Another strange aspect about the visit is that Tom entered the house through the back door: there was a sense of urgency and secrecy about it all.

Tom Mboya and Nyamweya sat in the dining room and during their consultations; only Joyce went in to deliver tea. It is then that Joyce overheard Tom Mboya remark, “James, this time it is serious.” Joyce noticed that her Dad paused intentionally waiting for his daughter to finish serving tea before he could respond. Joyce finished her chore and left the room. In July that year, an assassin shot and killed Tom Mboya in a Nairobi street.

This air of political uncertainty continued to affect even the relations between Nyamweya and Sagini towards the end of the sixties. Members of the Nyamweya family also noticed that a sense of distrust was beginning to build up between the then Vice President Daniel arap Moi and Nyamweya. These sore relations arose from a growing speculation at the time that Nyamweya was a pretender to the Vice Presidency, as Kenyatta succession politics heated up in the seventies.

J. M. Kariuki assassination
After assassination of another of Kenya's leading politicians, J. M. Kariuki, Parliament appointed a Select Committee to enquire into the murder.  Owing to enormous trust he commanded among parliamentarians and executive, Nyamweya was the only cabinet minister appointed to the Committee.  On the day Parliament was voting whether to adopt or simply note the Report of the Select Committee, Nyamweya happened to be out of the country attending the graduation ceremony of his daughter Rebecca at St Lawrence University, Canton, New York.

A major controversy arose after then Attorney General, Charles Njonjo, introduced a peculiar measure requesting Parliament only to note the Report of the Select Committee instead of adopting it. As expected, government rallied its troops in Parliament to support this position.  Kenyatta later sacked two members of the executive, Muliro and John Keen, for voting with the opposition.

Simeon Nyachae
One of Nyamweya's best friends was the former minister and Chief Secretary, Simeon Nyachae. The two were close friends and when the latter was Provincial Commissioner in the Rift Valley and based in Nakuru, Nyamweya and family never missed an opportunity to make a stopover for a meal before proceeding on to Nairobi or Kisii. Somehow, by the time Nyachae was moving to Nyeri as PC Central Province, a rift had started to emerge between the two. However, while Nyachae was Chief Secretary, the two managed to hold a couple of meetings culminating in restoration their friendship.

President Banda
Another great friend of Nyamweya was the then President of Malawi, Dr. Kamuzu Banda, who spent a night in Nyamweya's Kisii residence when he paid a state visit to Kenya. This is a testimony to the kind of deep-rooted trust and confidence that Nyamweya was able to exert on his friends and home government. It was without question unusual for a visiting Head of State to consider spending a night in a friend's house in a foreign country in which he is a state guest.

Nyamweya elicited such enormous trust from Mzee Kenyatta and his government that there was no reason whatsoever to harbour any suspicions as to what may transpire during such a memorable event. Other presidents who graced Nyamweya's home with visits include Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, and Mwai Kibaki.

Titles and honours
In his lifetime, Nyamweya received several awards, titles, and honours. Among these were recognitions from Moravian College, Pennsylvania, which awarded him a doctorate degree of laws in 1965, and St. Lawrence University Canton, New York, which awarded him an honorary degree of Doctor of Political Science in 1975. President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta also decorated him with two of the highest honours, Elder of the Golden Heart and Member of the Burning Spear, for his distinguished service to the country.

Opposition politics
After return of the multiparty politics in Kenya, Nyamweya joined hands with President Mwai Kibaki, then Minister for Health in Daniel arap Moi's cabinet, to form Democratic Party (DP). He was later to serve as National Vice-Chairman with Mwai Kibaki as Chairman. Nyamweya demonstrated his extraordinary qualities as a tactful politician when he mobilised the DP campaign so well in Kisii during the 1992 elections, which enabled Mwai Kibaki to get the highest number of votes in Kisii in comparison to other presidential candidates.

Nyamweya's son (George) became Secretary General of the Democratic Party and later formed Party of National Unity (PNU) with President Mwai Kibaki and subsequently became party National Vice-Chairman and nominated Member of Parliament.

Awards
In his lifetime, Nyamweya received several awards, titles, and honours. Among these were recognitions from Moravian College in Pennsylvania, which awarded him a doctorate degree of laws in 1965, and St. Lawrence University in New York, which awarded him an honorary Doctorate of Political Science in 1975. President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta also decorated him with two of the highest honours—Elder of the Golden Heart and Member of the Burning Spear—for his distinguished service to the country.

Death
Throughout his political career, Nyamweya remained a good-natured and sociable person, thorough in all his endeavours, and a deep thinker who spoke only when it was necessary for him to speak. By the time of his death, he had actualised and blended his spiritual, political, and philosophical self. Having been in positions of authority, legal practice, business, politics and all else Nyamweya had concluded that the ideal person is that who loves the Lord, and is at peace with God.

Nyamweya died on 25 September 1995 while serving as National Vice Chairman of the Democratic Party.

Van Ness DeCree, from Warren, Ohio, is a former football defensive end who was a two-time All-American (1973, 1974) at Ohio State University. DeCree is a member of the Ohio State Football Hall of Fame (Class of 1990) He was also a three-year starter and a three-time All-Big 10 selection at defensive end, having been voted all-conference as a sophomore, junior, and senior. He was also voted to the Ohio State Football All-Century Team in 1999.

DeCree was part of a 1973 Buckeyes team that was considered among the best in school history. The defense had solid players from the line— tackle Pete Cusick, to the linebackers— Rick Middleton and Randy Gradishar, to the secondary— Neal Colzie, Steve Luke, and Tim Fox. This unit led by All-Big 10 selection DeCree, shut out four opponents in 1973, including three in a row.

Four of DeCree's teammates (Middleton, Gradishar, Colzie, and Fox) all became first-round draft picks in the NFL, as did Archie Griffin, John Hicks, and Kurt Schumacher on offense. Punter Tom Skladany was also a high NFL draft picks. The offensive skill players included Cornelius Greene at quarterback wingback Brian Baschnagel and fullback Pete Johnson and halfback Griffin, who led the Big Ten in rushing, running behind the tackle duo of Schumacher (an All-American) and Hicks (also an All-American) and  winner of the 1973 Outland Trophy and the 1973 Lombardi Trophy.

The 1973 season finished with both the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines tied with perfect records and their season-ending game resulted in a tie score.  DeCree's late-game tackle of Michigan Quarterback Dennis Franklin resulted in Franklin breaking his collarbone. The Big Ten Conference Athletic Directors voted on the tiebreaker situation and sent the Buckeyes to the 1974 Rose Bowl, many citing the loss of Franklin to injury as a key reason. The 9-0-1 Buckeyes, in the 1973 season Rose Bowl Game, beat Johnny McKay's 9-1-1 USC Trojans 42-21. The following year in the 1974 season Rose Bowl, USC edged the Buckeyes 18-17, which ended DeCree's college career.

DeCree played professional football for the World Football League in 1975 for the Chicago Winds. The
Chicago Winds signed Van DeCree. Winds coach Gibron planned to use DeCree at linebacker. Due to the Chicago franchise folding due to league-wide financial troubles, DeCree ended playing the rest of the season (which was ultimately suspended) with Birmingham.

DeCree still resides in Columbus, Ohio, and remains a Buckeyes follower.

a The Giants earned an automatic bye into the Telus Cup because the Red Deer Optimist Rebels were hosting the tournament

Telus Cup
The Vancouver North West Giants (2007, 2011), Okanagan Rockets (2014) and the Vancouver North East Chiefs (2022) are the only teams to have represented the league at the Telus Cup.  Upon the Giants' winning the BC MML championship in 2007, a regional final with the AMHL was not necessary as Red Deer was hosting the Telus Cup that year. The Giants finished fourth in the Telus Cup tournament in 2007 before returning four years later; they again finished fourth in 2011. The 2014 Rockets, meanwhile, won the bronze medal.

Prior to the inauguration of the BC MML, the national midget championship was held in British Columbia twice – hosted by Kelowna in 1996 and Prince George in 2001.  The Burnaby Winter Club Travellers represent the only B.C. team to win the national championship, defeating the Gouverneurs de Ste-Foy from Quebec in 1982, as well as winning bronze in 1980.

The Cloud Computing Manifesto is a manifesto containing a "public declaration of principles and intentions" for cloud computing providers and vendors, annotated as "a call to action for the worldwide cloud community" and "dedicated belief that the cloud should be open". It follows the earlier development of the Cloud Computing Bill of Rights which addresses similar issues from the users' point of view.

The document was developed "by way of an open community consensus process" in response to a request by Microsoft that "any 'manifesto' should be created, from its inception, through an open mechanism like a Wiki, for public debate and comment, all available through a Creative Commons license". Accordingly, it is hosted on a MediaWiki wiki and licensed under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license.

The original, controversial version of the document called the Open Cloud Manifesto was sharply criticised by Microsoft who "spoke out vehemently against it" for being developed in secret by a "shadowy group of IT industry companies", raising questions about conflicts of interest and resulting in extensive media coverage over the following days. A pre-announcement commits to the official publication of this document on 30 March 2009 (in spite of calls to publish it earlier), at which time the identities of the signatories ("several of the largest technology companies and organizations" led by IBM along with OMG and believed also to include Cisco, HP, and Sun Microsystems) is said to be revealed. Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Salesforce.com are among those known to have rejected the document by declining to be signatories. The document was leaked by Geva Perry in a blog post on 27 March 2009 and confirmed to be authentic shortly afterwards.

The authors of both public and private documents have agreed to "work to bring together the best points of each effort".

Controversy
The Open Cloud Manifesto version, developed in private by a secret consortium of companies, was prematurely revealed by Microsoft's Senior Director of Developer Platform Product Management, Steve Martin on 26 March 2009. They claim that they were "privately shown a copy of the document, warned that it was a secret, and told that it must be signed 'as is,' without modifications or additional input", a point which is disputed by Reuven Cohen (originally believed to be the document's author). Some commentators found it ironic that Microsoft should speak out in support of open standards while others felt that their criticism was justified, comparing it to the "long, ugly war over WS-I". The call for open cloud standards was later echoed by Brandon Watson, Microsoft's Director of Cloud Services Ecosystem.

Principles
The following principles are defined by the document:
 User centric systems enrich the lives of individuals, education, communication, collaboration, business, entertainment and society as a whole; the end user is the primary stakeholder in cloud computing.
 Philanthropic initiatives can greatly increase the well-being of mankind; they should be enabled or enhanced by cloud computing where possible.
 Openness of standards, systems and software empowers and protects users; existing standards should be adopted where possible for the benefit of all stakeholders.
 Transparency fosters trust and accountability; decisions should be open to public collaboration and scrutiny and never be made "behind closed doors".
 Interoperability ensures effectiveness of cloud computing as a public resource; systems must be interoperable over a minimal set of community defined standards and vendor lock-in must be avoided.
 Representation of all stakeholders is essential; interoperability and standards efforts should not be dominated by vendor(s).
 Discrimination against any party for any reason is unacceptable; barriers to entry must be minimised.
 Evolution is an ongoing process in an immature market; standards may take some time to develop and coalesce but activities should be coordinated and collaborative.
 Balance of commercial and consumer interests is paramount; if in doubt consumer interests prevail.
 Security is fundamental, not optional.

Kyle McCarter (born June 27, 1962) is an American politician from Illinois and former diplomat. He served as the United States Ambassador to Kenya from 2019 to 2021. He previously served as a Republican member of the Illinois Senate from February 2009 to January 2019.

Early life
McCarter was born in Waco, Texas on June 27, 1962. He is the son of Mr. Calvin and Linda McCarter. He attended Muskogee High School and he completed his studies in 1980. McCarter graduated from Oral Roberts University in 1984 with a degree in accounting.

Career
McCarter was a member of the St. Clair County board from 2000 until 2009, when he was appointed to the Illinois State Senate. McCarter also served for six years on the O'Fallon Chamber of Commerce board of directors, including two years as President and four years as Chairman of the Economic Development Committee.

Businesses
McCarter owns and operates Custom Product Innovations and Custom Coating Innovations in Lebanon, Illinois. McCarter's companies outsource parts of their production to China. McCarter said, "I go to China four to six times a year to visit with our manufacturers. It's a capitalist's dream over there."

Non-profits
McCarter and his wife, Victoria, lived and worked in Kenya for Each1Feed1, a Christian ministry that gives care and education for orphans and widows, in 1987–1988 and built Faith Medical Clinic. Kyle currently is the International Director and Victoria is the Director of Education for Each1Feed1, and they travel to Kenya several times a year. McCarter is also a supporter of Mercy Ministries, a charitable Christian organization.

Illinois State Senate
After Republican State Senator Frank Watson resigned, shortly after suffering a stroke, McCarter was appointed to fill his place in the Illinois State Senate in February 2009. McCarter was described as "a reliable GOP vote in the state senate."

On May 31, 2011, McCarter accused Democratic state Sen. Mike Jacobs of punching him after a debate over an electricity rate increase, a claim Jacobs denied by saying in a televised interview that "the senator was full of shit" and "someone who couldn't even really polish my shoes". McCarter had noted that Jacobs' father was a registered lobbyist for the utility, but Jacobs' response was that "one thing he would not allow to happen would be for anyone to question my integrity." Jacobs also said this information had been fully disclosed, his constituents were aware of it, "and they would make a decision based on that". It was reported that McCarter filed a police statement over the incident.

After the Senate redistricting, parts of the old 51st, 54th, and 58th districts were combined to create the new 54th Senate District. Another incumbent Republican, John O. Jones, was also drawn into the 54th district. However, Jones failed to adequately meet the petition filing requirements and did not appear on the ballot. After Jones ruled out an independent bid, McCarter ran successfully for the 54th district.

He chose not to seek reelection in 2018. He was succeeded in the Illinois Senate by Jason Plummer.

Committee assignments
As of the 100th General Assembly, McCarter sits on the following committees: Appropriations II; *Environment and Conservation (Minority Spokesperson); Public Health; Local Government; Labor; and State Government.

Legislative positions

Energy

In a debate in 2012 and later public statements McCarter publicly supported a "clean coal" plant in Taylorville, Illinois. The day after Archer Daniels Midland and Tate & Lyle, both major employers in McCarter's senate district, expressed concern about the project, he changed his position and voted against the bill. Both companies were also donors to his campaign. In response Kurt Erickson of The Southern Illinoisan wrote, "In the process, he became the quintessential politician that voters love to hate: He said one thing on the campaign trail and then reversed himself once safely elected."

Anti-bullying bill
In May 2012, McCarter voted against a bill in the state senate that would have encouraged public schools to implement anti-bullying programs. McCarter voted against the bill because he believed such programs would be used to promote homosexuality. While answering questions about his vote, McCarter said, "Some of these programs are very good. They indeed encourage kids not to bully. But there are programs throughout the United States, used in some high schools and universities, that really have just a pro-homosexual agenda, and nothing but that."

2016 campaign for U.S. Congress

In October 2015, McCarter announced he would be running for the United States House of Representatives for the 15th district against fellow Republican incumbent John Shimkus, rather than run again for State Senate in 2018. While McCarter does not live in the 15th district, he lives close to the border and has said he is looking to move to Effingham.

McCarter has received Tea Party support, as well as support from other conservative groups, including the Club for Growth. McCarter is running to the right of Shimkus, saying he is insufficiently conservative and an "insider."

Prior to announcing his candidacy for Congress, McCarter used about $33,000 from his state campaign fund to pay a political consultant. That consultant, Elizabeth Van Holt of Isaiah Consulting, appeared with McCarter when he announced his congressional candidacy on October 7, 2015. State law prohibits the use of such campaign funds for federal races. McCarter said the money was paid for work related to his State Senate seat.

Prior to the second quarter of 2015, McCarter's campaign committee never reported more than $50,354 in any quarter since the 2010 election cycle. In early 2016, McCarter's campaign refunded $52,000 in campaign contributions that had been accepted against FEC rules.

McCarter ultimately lost the primary to Shimkus, receiving 39.63 percent of the vote.

United States Ambassador to Kenya
On May 11, 2017, the seven Republican congressmen from Illinois, including John Shimkus who beat McCarter in the 2016 primary, encouraged President Donald Trump to nominate McCarter as the next United States Ambassador to Kenya. The delegation wrote that McCarter's work in Kenya with Each1Feed1 has provided him "heightened insight into the governmental operations and other political, economic, and social realities of both Kenya and the larger region of East Africa." On March 28, 2018, Trump announced he was nominating McCarter to the position. He was scrutinized by Democrats during his committee hearing and was reported out of committee on a 12–9 vote. The United States Senate confirmed McCarter by voice vote on January 2, 2019. He presented his credentials to President Uhuru Kenyatta on March 12, 2019. He left office on January 20, 2021.

Later career
Following his ambassadorship, McCarter moved to Oklahoma. He considered, but ultimately declined, a run for U.S. Senate in 2022 special election in Oklahoma.

Personal life
McCarter and his wife Victoria lived in Lebanon, Illinois before moving to Oklahoma after his ambassadorship. They have two living children: Zach and Austin. Their daughter Amber died in 2006 at the age of 21 from a heroin overdose.

Hands On Learning Australia is a not-for-profit organisation listed as a Harm Prevention Charity by the Australian Government.  The charity was assisted to come into being by Social Ventures Australia and became an Australian company in 2008 with a board of directors providing governance and oversight.  The charity was formed to expand the implementation of a secondary school reengagement program started some nine years previously by high school teacher Russell Kerr, at Frankston high school.  The organisation has gained the patronage of Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia.  From April 1, 2017 Hands On Learning Australia merged with Save the Children Australia.

The Hands On Learning program
Hands On Learning (HOL) provides an alternative learning framework for disengaged students to reconnect with school and community. Students come out of normal classes one day per week to join a small team formed of Years 5 to 10 students to work on creative construction projects around their school and in their local community. The students remain part of their normal school program the other four days of the week.  Participation is voluntary and long term — students can remain in the program from several weeks to several years, depending upon their needs.

HOL was reviewed by the University of Melbourne and identified as an example of effective strategies for increasing school completion. The program was also considered by Monash University as a way of improving educational outcomes.  The program has featured in newspaper and radio broadcasts in Melbourne media, is acknowledged by the Dusseldorp Skills Forum, and endorsed as a strategy to be implemented by schools in the Gippsland region as part of their Youth Commitment to help increase retention rates.

One of the first projects a HOL program engages in is the construction of a HOL hut. This original straw bale hut continues to operate as the operational centre of HOL at Frankston High School.

Principles
HOL operates on three broad principles for dealing with students at risk of leaving school prematurely; Target them early and long-term; Work outside the square; Don't just talk, do!.  The following summaries are extracted from a presentation given at a Department of Education and Early Childhood Development conference in 2008 unless otherwise indicated.

Target them early and long-term
HOL involves students in the middle years (Years 5 - 10) as a preventative measure.  It operates on the assumption that if students have become fully disengaged they will either exit prematurely, or remain disaffected and derive minimal benefit from their time there.  Thus the program attempts to identify and recruit disengaging students before negative attitudes and behaviours become entrenched.  Students are reported to remain, on average, two years in the program on a voluntary basis.

Work outside the square
This phrase refers to the fact that students come out of their normal classes one day per week as a 'release valve' into a small group of students with two adults — a teacher:student ratio of 2:10.  These small groups are intended to provide an opportunity for students to form strong relationships and an alternate peer group, providing a sense of belonging.

Don't just talk, do!
HOL assumes that many of their target cohort of students will feel uncomfortable or stigmatised in seeking out student welfare personnel, or lack either the capacity or disposition to explore their issues verbally.  In giving these students practical, inherently purposeful tasks to take part in, it is believed that they will be able to form supportive relationships that will help build a sense of wellbeing without necessarily engaging in discussion about issues they may be facing.

Community projects
The HOL program has been involved in numerous community based projects since its inception.  Examples include the construction of board walks, foot bridges, renovation of community buildings, repairs to public park infrastructure etc.

HOL LiNK
In 2008 the HOL model was used as the basis for a pilot Literacy and Numeracy Knowledge program called HOL LiNK.  The HOL LiNK program was an extension to an existing HOL program at Carrum Downs Secondary College.  Somewhat unusually, the HOL LiNK program was expressly implemented as a non-remedial setting, working instead to help students avail themselves of incidental learning opportunities and to improve their strategies for coping in traditional classrooms.

HOL SaFE
In 2009 Hands On Learning Australia entered into a pilot partnership with Berry Street and Anglicare Victoria  to form a School and Family Engagement project (HOL SaFE) at two Victorian Government Secondary Colleges.  The HOL SaFE project consisted of bringing a Youth & Family Worker from the partnering agency into a HOL program within a school.  By working directly with disadvantaged students within the context of HOL, the Youth & Family Worker could form much stronger relationships over a longer period of time, thereby enhancing their capacity to engage and work with the students' families.

HOLmes
A third extension to the basic Hands On Learning program was piloted in 2009 utilising Medicare funding to enable a psychologist or social worker to join the HOL team to provide mental and emotional support (hence HOLmes) to those disaffected students who were eligible for a Mental Health Plan.

Early career
He made his racecourse debut in December 1997, where he won a maiden hurdle at Navan and followed this up with two further wins in January and February, including a Grade 2 race. In his final appearance of the 1997/98 season, he was sent off favourite for a Grade 3 race at Navan and finished fourth.

1998/99 Season
The 1998/99 season saw Rince Ri embark on a novice chasing campaign. He won a beginners chase at Navan in November 1998 and followed this up with two more wins in January and February, both in Grade 3 races. After finishing second in another Grade 3 race, Rince Ri went to Fairyhouse for the Powers Gold Cup, where he won by 9 lengths from Promalee.

1999/00 Season
He made his seasonal reappearance in the Troytown Chase in November, where he finished third, before stepping back up to the top level for the John Durkan Memorial Chase. He was sent off the 4/1 second favourite and finished a 3/4 length second to Buck Rogers. Rince Ri resumed winning ways in his next start, where he beat favourite Florida Pearl by a head in the Ericsson Chase at Leopardstown. His next start saw him lock horns with that rival again, but Florida Pearl recorded victory in the Irish Hennessy Chase, where Rince Ri finished third. His final start of the season saw him go to the Cheltenham Festival for the first time, where he was sent off a 33/1 shot for the Cheltenham Gold Cup. He unseated his rider, Ruby Walsh, three out.

2000/01 Season
The 2000/01 season started with Rince Ri's second successive win in the Ericsson Chase before injury ruled him out for the rest of the season.

2001/02 Season
November 2001 saw Rince Ri return from injury at Naas, where he finished fourth behind Knife Edge. He filled the same position in his next two starts, in the John Durkan Memorial Chase and the Ericsson Chase. After finishing second in the Pierse Chase in January 2002, Rince Ri crossed the shores to Cheltenham, where he won the Pillar Chase. His next start proved to be the final one of that season, where he finished third behind Alexander Banquet in the Irish Hennessy Chase.

2002/03 Season
The 2002/03 season was one of mixed fortunes for Rince Ri, as he finished down the field in the John Durkan Memorial Chase, the Ericsson Chase, the Pierse Chase, and the Irish Hennessy Chase, before he went to Fairyhouse, where he won the Bobbyjo Chase in February. He followed that up with another win in a Listed race at Navan. In his final start of the season, Rince Ri finished second behind First Gold in the Punchestown Gold Cup.

2003/04 Season
The 2003/04 season saw Rince Ri placed in numerous Grade 1 races, without ever getting his head in front. He was placed in the John Durkan Memorial Chase, the Normans Grove Chase, the Pillar Chase, and the Irish Hennessy Chase, and he finished the season with a fourth behind Beef Or Salmon in the Punchestown Gold Cup.

Final Two Seasons
His final two seasons saw Rince Ri run in a mixture of hurdle and chase races, including the Bobbyjo Chase and the 2006 Grand National, without getting his head in front again. After failing to finish in the 2006 Grand National, he was retired.

The Khoridol Saridag mountains (, Khoridol Saridagiin nuruu) are a 150 km-long mountain range in Khövsgöl aimag, Mongolia, between Khövsgöl nuur and the Darkhad valley. The range covers parts of the Renchinlkhümbe, Ulaan-Uul and Alag-Erdene sums. The highest peak is Delgerkhaan Uul (3093m), two other notable peaks are Ikh Uul (2961m) and Uran Dösh Uul (2702m) on the shores of Khövsgöl nuur.

The mountains along the lake are rich in phosphorite, and in the 1980s extensive exploration work was done for open-pit mining. Roads built during that time and other remains, are still visible all over the area. However, due to the political and economic changes of the early 1990s in Mongolia and Russia, those projects were cancelled. In 1997, a protected area covering 1886 km2 was founded.
