The Sylvester Dresser House is a historic house at 29 Summer Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built sometime between 1865 and 1870, it is a distinctive local example of Italianate architecture with some Gothic features.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The Sylvester Dresser House is located in a residential area just south of downtown Southbridge, on the north side of Summer Street.  It is a 2-1/2 brick structure in a strong Italianate form, with a truncated hip roof.  The blocky form with three bays, with the rounded arch entry and heavy balcony, are typical Italianate features, but the steeply pitched roof lines and Stick style decorative elements are more distinctly Gothic.  The choice of brick as a building material is locally somewhat unusual, but not unexpected given that its builder owned brickyards at the time of its construction.

The house was built between 1865 and 1870 for Sylvester Dresser, a leading businessman in Southbridge during the second half of the 19th century.  Dresser began his career as a schoolteacher, but operated a variety of businesses between the 1840s and 1860s.   In 1865 he began operating a brickyard, eventually owning three in Southbridge and neighboring Dudley.  He was notable for making the first shipment (a load of bricks) when the railroad arrived in Southbridge in 1866.  He was also active in civic affairs, serving in a variety of public posts for the city.

The Arnoux system is a train articulation system, for turning on railroad tracks, invented by Jean-Claude-Républicain Arnoux and patented in France in 1838. Arnoux was the chief engineer of the Ligne de Sceaux, which was originally built with very tight radii in the area around Sceaux, Hauts-de-Seine.

With the support of the French Academy of Sciences, Arnoux devised a new articulation system that allowed train wheels to turn, the  ("Arnoux rail system"), and the Ligne de Sceaux was built to test his prototypes. The line started commercial use in 1846, but the operating cost and the use of a broad gauge of  meant that it was not taken up more widely. The invention of the bogie made it redundant. It was abandoned entirely by 1893.

System

Problem
When steam railways were in their infancy, trains comprised a steam locomotive and one or more  railway carriages with two fixed axles. As speeds increased, this design caused significant wear to the track and instability in the track ballast.

Proposed solution
To ameliorate these faults, Arnoux proposed a system of  ("Articulated axles") whereby the yaw angle of the wheels was reduced essentially to zero. Arnoux adapted the system used on horse-carts, which pivoted each axle at its centre, to be applied equally over the two axles together.

Arnoux devised a system of chains and pulleys so that each of the wheels' correctly adjusted in yaw through the curve: as soon as the leading axle started to turn, all other axles would also turn by the same amount. Actually, this was a fatal design flaw since in a long train not all carriages are on the same part of the curve. A compromise was to use pulleys of different diameters, with guide wheels on the locomotive to control their motion. Also, using a broad gauge of  was expected to give greater stability.

This system was not suitable for steam locomotives so Arnoux invented a separate system for them.  The locomotives had a 2-4-2 wheel arrangement and the driving wheels were flangeless. The carrying wheels were arranged to pivot and were controlled by near-horizontal guide wheels.

Patent application
Arnoux applied for his patent, number 8342, on 28 March 1838.

Practical application

Trials and the Grand Prix de l'Institut
Trials took place at Saint-Mandé between 1839 and 1840 in a  circuit constructed by Alexis Dulong. These trials successfully demonstrated the stability and safety of the system. Public bodies, the Duke of Aumale and numerous members of the French Academy of Sciences, including François Arago. All unanimously praised the system.

After this experience, Arnoux was awarded the  ("Grand Prize for Mechanical Engineering") by the Institute.

Concession & opening of the Ligne de Sceaux

At the suggestion of François Arago, the Arnoux system was implemented on the Ligne de Sceaux from Paris to Sceaux, Hauts-de-Seine. On 5 September 1844, Arnoux and the Minister of Public Works signed a contract to build and operate the line.

The line began service in 1846, starting from the  ("Hell's Gate") (see Denfert-Rochereau station) with a curved passenger building of  radius on a balloon loop to allow trains to reverse direction. The route then had its first stop at Arcueil, then Bourg-la-Reine on a  radius curve. The incline towards Sceaux was straight until the station at Fontenay-aux-Roses, then had a succession of curves at ; the gradient was up to 11 mm/m (1.1%, 1:91), which was significant. All together the line was  long.

Alternatives
In fact, the problem was solved by the bogie, which was invented in the USA shortly after opening, but this was unknown in Europe at the time.

The Arnoux system bears some similarity to Cleminson's patent system. Both are designed to keep the axles radial to the curvature of the track.

Talgo utilise independent wheels mounted in a "rodal" between cars. Linkage rods keep the "rodal" aligned tangentially with the track. Like Arnoux, this system originally utilised (Iberian) broad gauge tracks, but recent versions are used on standard gauge or utilise variable gauge.

Current research may redeem the Arnoux system by replacing its mechanical steering linkages with modern electronic systems. The most promising approach places independent traction motors in each wheel which not only propel the vehicle but also steer the individual wheelset by means of torque vectoring which promises reduced weight and complexity over current bogies whilst also reducing wear on both train and track. Examples include Actiwheel and their proposed running gear for the
Next Generation Train.

Abandonment
Use of the Arnoux System from Paris to Limours was abandoned in 1883 during negotiations with the government and the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer d'Orléans à Rouen for construction of new lines. and the Ligne de Sceaux was the only one built to its design, with its unusual track gauge and specific construction of carriages and locomotives. The track was replaced overnight with standard gauge in May 1891.

The Dunbar-Vinton House is a historic house at Hook and Hamilton Streets in Southbridge, Massachusetts, USA.  Probably built in the early 19th century, it is locally unusual for its brick construction at that time, and may have been built as a district schoolhouse.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The Dunbar-Vinton House occupies a prominent site on the north side of downtown Southbridge, on the north side of the junction of Hook and Hamilton Streets.  It is a -story brick building, with a gabled roof and two end chimneys.  A wood-frame ell extends to the left side, covered by a shed roof and finished in wooden clapboards.  The main facade has the entrance at the far right, topped by an elongated rounded window; there are two sash windows set in rectangular openings in the left half of the facade, with stone sills and lintels.

The date of this building's construction, and its original use, are both the subject of local speculation. The site was reported by 19th century historians to be the site of a school, but whether this building is the school in question or not is unclear. It structurally resembles a small schoolhouse, which lends credence to the theory. It is surmised to have been built by Captain Calvin Clemence, who died in 1828; the school was operated by a Mrs. Dunbar in the 1830s. In 1901, the house was reported to be occupied by Albert Vinton.  The frame ell is a 20th-century addition, added in the 1970s.

The Henry E. Durfee Farmhouse is a historic Greek Revival farm house at 281 Eastford Road in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built about 1849, it is a good example of Greek Revival architecture, and a reminder of the now suburban area's once agricultural past.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The Henry E. Durfee Farmhouse is located south of downtown Southbridge, in a rural-residential area at the northeast corner of Eastford and Durfee Roads.  Its basic plan is a -story three bay side hall configuration; the front facade has significant Greek Revival detailing, including corner pilasters and a recessed doorway with corniced lintel as well as transom and sidelight windows.  There is a major addition on the left facade, extending two full stories.  The ell extending to the rear has a large gabled dormer with similar features, and a shed-roof porch across its south side.

The house is, despite its now somewhat suburban setting, a reminder of the rural past of that portion of southern Southbridge.  Construction of the house is estimated to have been in 1849, around the time of Henry Durfee's marriage; the house was built on land that probably belonged to his mother's family.  Its property was once much larger (over ), but has been reduced over the following years to now occupy less than one acre.  The area was basically agrarian until the early 20th century.

Loren Goodman (born 1968) is an American postmodern poet and associate professor of English literature and creative writing at Underwood International College, Yonsei University, in Seoul, South Korea.

Biography and education

Goodman is a native of Wichita, Kansas. He received a BA degree in philosophy from Columbia University (1991), a MFA degree in poetry from the University of Arizona, and PhD degrees in English literature and sociology from State University of New York at Buffalo (2006) and Kobe University, respectively.

Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition

Goodman’s collection of poems Famous Americans (Yale University Press, 2003) was selected by Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet W. S. Merwin as the 2003 winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition, appearing as volume ninety-seven in the series. Merwin compared Goodman to the Dadaists and said the aim of his poetry is "plain ridicule” and the "revelation of nonsense” in the form of “comic writing” (Foreword, 2003, pp. vii, ix).

Japanese Boxing

During his studies in Japan Goodman trained as an amateur boxer. He has also written on Japanese boxing culture, including a case study with interviews of professional middleweights Keitoku Senrima, Hisashi Teraji, Yoshinori Nishizawa, Tetsu Yokozaki, Kevin Palmer, Hiromi Amada, and Nobuhiro Ishida.

The James Gleason Cottage is a historic house at 31 Sayles Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  Built about 1830 for a local businessman, it is a regionally rare example of vernacular Gothic Revival architecture.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description and history
The James Gleason Cottage is located in Southbridge's Globe Village area, on the east side of Sayles Street near Ash Street.  The house is a modest -story wood-frame structure with a steeply pitched gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.  The main facade is three bays wide in the Greek Revival style, with corner pilasters and a pilastered entry in the left bay.  A single-story porch extends across the front and right side, with bracketed square posts and turned balustrade.  The front gable features a large recessed porch, its top consisting of an open Gothic arch.  The right side has a gabled wall dormer projecting from the roof, and an ell extends to the rear.

The house is a rare regional example of a residential house with Greek Revival and Gothic Revival features.  It was built c. 1830, probably for James Gleason, an owner of a successful grocery business in Globe Village.  It was originally located nearer the corner of Main and Sayles Street, and was moved to its present location about 1900.  It is now largely surrounded by parking lots of the adjacent medical center.

The Glover Street Historic District is a residential historic district in Southbridge, Massachusetts.  The district encompasses a cluster of nineteen houses on or adjacent to Glover Street between High and Poplar Streets.  The area was fully developed beginning in the first decades of the 20th century, filling in a previous round of development that had taken place in the 1890s.  These houses were targeted at Southbridge's growing middle class.

The land on which Glover Street was laid out was originally part of the Clarke-Glover Farm.  In the 1880s a series of Gothic style -story cottages were built at the northern end of Glover Street.  Six of these in particular feature jigsaw-cut bargeboard trim decoration and are among the best preserved of their type in Southbridge.  This period of development also saw construction of a house and barn with Italianate Victorian styling.

The second construction phase ran from the 1910s to the 1930s, and once again saw the construction of modestly sized houses in the styles of the period.  Most of these structures are Colonial Revival in styling, although there is one house with some Bungalow/craftsman styling.  The district includes one house that predates the development of Glover Street: a vernacular frame house dating to the early 19th century that faces High Street at its corner with Glover.  That house may have been associated with the Clarkes whose land it was.

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

KB Tirana are an Albanian professional basketball team based in Tiranë, which is the basketball branch of SK Tirana. They compete in the Albanian Basketball League, Liga Unike and the Balkan International Basketball League. The club plays its home domestic games at the Farie Hoti Sports Palace, and they play their international games at the Asllan Rusi Sports Palace.

Tirana are one of the most successful teams in the history of Albanian basketball (men), having won the Albanian League 21 times, the Albanian Cup a record of 19 times and the Albanian Supercups a record of 8 times. They have won a total of 48 trophies, which is the most in the country.

History

Early years (1920–43)
On 15 August 1920, shortly after Tirana became the capital city of Albania, patriot and football enthusiast Palokë Nika, who had already formed Vllaznia Shkodër built and trained a new team in Tirana, with A. Erebara, P. Jakova, A. Hoxha, Anastas Koja, P. Berisha, Avni Zajmi, H. Fortuzi, B. Pazari, L. Berisha, S. Frasheri, H. Alizoti, A. Gjitomi, and V. Fekeci. The name of the team was Gjurmuesit Republikanë, which a few months later was changed into Agimi Sports Association. The name Agimi (in English: Dawn), was taken from the building in the centre of Tirana near to where they would hold meetings. In 1925 the association's governing council was elected and its members were Avni Zajmi, Selman Stërmasi, B. Toptani, Irfan Gjinali and Anastas Koja. On 16 August 1927, which was the seventh anniversary of the formation of the Agimi Sports Association, the club's name changed into Sportklub Tirana, which would be commonly referred to as SK Tirana. On that day the president of the club was Teki Selenica. Although SK Tirana's early history was dominated by its emphasis on its football department, basketball was experiencing a rise in popularity in Albania at the time and basketball clubs across the country were being set up and friendly games were occasionally being played between clubs from different cities.

Early history and trophies (1944–72)
After the end of World War II and the liberation of Albania in 1944 Albania fell in the hands of the socialist dictator Enver Hoxha, and soon after sport in the country became organised, with national teams and domestic competitions being set up by the communist regime, and this happened with basketball in 1946. In early March 1946 at the Nacional movie theatre in Tirana, the ruling Communist Politburo had instructed the club to change its name to 17 Nëntori in honour of the Liberation of Tirana which took place on 17 November 1944 and later that year 17 Nëntori became a founding member of the Albanian Basketball League and they won the inaugural National Championship that took place in 1946. They failed to retain the title the following season as local rivals Partizani won the National Championship, but 17 Nëntori were to win 3 consecutive titles between 1948 and 1950.

Recent dominance (1999 onwards)
After 11 years drought Tirana got the right roster and coach and started winning trophies yet again. From 1999 to 2018 they won 28 such, dominating in the country.
On 30 August 2016 it was announced that Tirana would compete in the 2016–17 Balkan International Basketball League, becoming only the second Albanian club to do so after BC Vllaznia. Ahead of the 2016–17 season they appointed Macedonian Slobodan Petrovski as head coach, and signed Albanian internationals Endrit Hysenagolli, Erkand Karaj as well as foreigners Nemanja Gavranić, Griffin Ramme and Manuel Johnson. Tirana played fellow debutants KB Trepça from Kosovo on 10 October 2016 at the Asllan Rusi Sports Palace in front of around 1,100 spectators, and they won 78–66 to claim a victory in their first ever Balkan League game.

Contrary to the domestic domination, even by approaching some quality new players and coach, KB Tirana in the Balkan League has failed to impress so far, despite 2017-18 season participation in play-off and some memorable wins. Playing, however only few seasons in this competition, team needs more experience and perhaps bringing more skillful players to seek success.

Home arenas
Tirana plays its domestic homes games at the Farie Hoti Sports Palace, which has a capacity of around 1,200. Before this arena was built they played their home games at the 2,800 seater Asllan Rusi Sports Palace, which is the main sports arena in Tirana and indeed all of Albania. As of 2016, they played their Balkan International Basketball League home games at the Asllan Rusi Sports Palace as the Farie Hoti Sports Palace does not meet the licensing requirements to stage such games.

However, in 2017 club moved to the Tirana Olympic Park, as a requirement for playing the Balkan League.

Michael Foley (born June 17, 1963) is a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, representing the 14th District from 2006 to 2014.

Career
Prior to his time in the House, Foley had worked as director of the Cleveland Tenants Organization, as well as a court administrator, bailiff and community organizer.

Ohio House of Representatives
When Representative Dale Miller was appointed to replace Dan Brady in the Ohio Senate, Foley was among three who sought to succeed him in the Ohio House, along with former state representative Erin Sullivan.  In the end, the House Democratic Caucus chose to leave the seat open until after the May primary. The primary election proved to be very close, and Foley won the election by just ten votes. After a mandatory recount, it was initially decided that he had lost the race to teacher Bill Ritter, but ultimately he was deemed victorious. Foley went on to win the general election in the fall of 2006. He was reelected handily in 2008 and 2010.

In December 2007 after Steve Driehaus stepped down from his post as Assistant Minority Whip, Foley was appointed to the position by Minority Leader Joyce Beatty. For the 128th General Assembly, House Speaker Armond Budish named Foley Chairman of the Housing and Urban Revitalization Committee.

Back to the minority in the 129th General Assembly, Foley is currently serving as a member of the Financial Institutions, Housing, and Urban Development Committee, the Insurance Committee and the Insurance Subcommittee on Workers' Compensation, the Public Utilities Committee, and the Ways and Means Committee.

Foley won a final term in 2012, defeating Richard Cyngier with 68% of the vote. He was term-limited in 2014.

Initiatives, policies and positions
Foley has struck out against Republicans for their initiative to repeal the estate tax, stating "Without it, local governments will be forced to cut services and further contemplate raising taxes on their own citizens to make up for the shortfall."

A contributor to the Ohio transportation budget, Foley is critical of an exemption that eliminates the commercial activity tax for petroleum exchange transactions, stating it is a $5 million to $10 million annual "giveaway."

Building off his opposition to S.B. 5, Foley introduced legislation with Bob Hagan  that would allow voters to recall the governor, other statewide officeholders, and members of the General Assembly. They stated that the measure was initiated by John Kasich's low approval ratings and the outcry that occurred after S.B. 5.

Petersen claimed to have "[s]pent a third of my time on the coast as a child, lived in Peregian in my 20s, have been nurturing land on the coast for 12 years. 4th generation Noosa resident", yet, during her election campaigns in the Ipswich region she has also claimed to "[b]eing a fifth generation member of the Ipswich community, I feel a strong attachment to the historical buildings and sites within the local area. Similar to the way in which aborigines have a deep connection to their land, I am emotionally tied to my home, everything and everyone in it."

The French Revolution was a period of social radial and political society in France from 1789 to 1799, including the creation of a constitutional monarchy, the Reign of Terror, execution of Louis XVI and the proclamation of the French First Republic.

French Revolution or La Révolution Française may also refer to:

Events in France
France has seen a number of revolutions that can be classified into three groups:

 Four French revolutions that brought a change in political regime:
 The first French revolution, also called "Great Revolution" or simply "French Revolution", refers to a period of history that replaces the absolutism of the Old Regime and, after the constitutional monarchy, establishes the First Republic. This period usually ranges from the opening of the Estates General on May 5, 1789, to the Coup d'état of Bonaparte on Brumaire 18, Year VIII (November 9, 1799);
 The second French revolution, also called "July Revolution", refers to the three revolutionary days of July 27, 28 and 29 of 1830, nicknamed "The Three Glorious"; they replaced the Second Restauration by the July Monarchy, during which the king Charles X would be overthrown and replaced with his cousin Louis Philippe;
 The third French revolution, also called "February revolution", refers to the four revolutionary days from February 22 to February 25, 1848, during which would be put an end to the July Monarchy and would be proclaimed the Second Republic;
 The fourth French Revolution refers to the events of September 4, 1870, day on which both the populations of Paris and Lyon, faced with a hesitant Parliament (Corps Législatif), replaced the Second Empire with the Third Republic.

 Other events, referred to as revolutions or revolutionary days, that caused a popular uprising among the French:
 The "parliamentary revolution" of 1787, supported by the Parisian riots and prelude to the Convocation of the Estates General of 1789;
 The second revolution, prelude to the proclamation of the First Republic;
 The unsuccessful June Revolution, from the 22 of June 1848 to the 26, as a response to the closure of the National Workshops;
 The unsuccessful Paris Commune, the last of the great revolutionary events of the French nineteenth century, which began with the uprising of March 18, 1871, followed or preceded by insurrectionary communes, such as those of Lyon, Marseille, Saint-Étienne, Narbonne, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Algiers and Montereau, and ended in Paris on May 8, 1871.
 Other revolutionary days that marked a popular Parisian insurrection:
 The days of October 5 and 6, 1789, which led to the definitive return of the king and his family to Paris;
 The unsuccessful demonstration of June 20, 1792, during which the Parisian population invaded the Tuileries Palace;
 The insurrection of May 31 and June 2, 1793, which caused the fall of the Girondists, under the pressure of the people of Paris;
 The unsuccessful revolt of Prairial 1, Year III (May 20, 1795), whose failure put an end to the project of restoration of a revolution government dominated by the Montagnards;
 The unsuccessful June Rebellion, during which the republicans failed to overthrow the July Monarchy;
 The unsuccessful protest of June 13, 1849, the last revolutionary day of the Second Republic;
 The unsuccessful uprising of October 31, 1870, which was protesting against capitulation projects of the Government of National Defense;
 The unsuccessful uprising of January 22, 1871, which was aiming to prevent the Government of National Defense from deciding the Paris capitulation to Prussia;
 The events of May 68 are sometimes referred to as a missed revolution.

Kevin Bacon (born November 27, 1971) is a former state senator for the 3rd District of the Ohio Senate, who served from 2011 to 2018.  Formerly, he served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 2007 to 2010, and as a Blendon Township Trustee. Bacon represents the portions of Franklin County including Westerville, New Albany, Gahanna, Whitehall, Reynoldsburg, Canal Winchester, Obetz, Valley View, Marble Cliff and portions of Columbus.

An attorney, Bacon also served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Civil Justice. He is a Republican.

Career
Bacon was born and raised in Defiance, Ohio. After graduation from Miami University and Capital Law School, Bacon, a private practice attorney, previously worked for Farmer's Insurance and the Ohio Department of Commerce and as a prosecutor for the City of Lancaster, Ohio.  He currently is an attorney, of counsel, with the law firm of Appel & Hellstedt, located in Worthington, Ohio. He also served as a Blendon Township Trustee.

When incumbent Linda Reidelbach announced that she would not seek another term, Bacon was among three who sought to replace her. Bacon faced a clear shot in the primary.  With the district being one that Democrats sought to pick up, Bacon faced a somewhat difficult challenge in the 2006 general election, and it was one of the most closely targeted races in the cycle. The campaign was subject to many attack ads from both sides. He bested Democrat Dean Hernandez by fewer than 1000 votes. In his first term, Speaker of the House Jon Husted appointed Bacon Vice Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

In 2008, Bacon beat Democratic nominee Jay Perez 51%-45% in an overwhelmingly Democratic year.

Ohio Senate
With incumbent Senator David Goodman unable to seek another term, Bacon announced in May 2009 that he would run for the Ohio Senate. After no competition in the primary, he faced Democrat Mark Pfeifer in the general election, and won the election 50%-43%.

Bacon was the primary sponsor of Senate Bill 9, which updates Ohio’s insurance laws to reflect recent changes in federal health care laws.  SB 9 suspends the Open Enrollment Program, the Ohio Health Reinsurance Program, and the conversion of health insurance policies option.  The bill was signed into law by Governor John Kasich on June 4, 2013.

In 2014, Bacon was re-elected with 61% of the vote. For the 131st Ohio General Assembly, Bacon served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Civil Justice.

The 2010 California Attorney General election was held on November 2, 2010, to choose the Attorney General of California. The primary election was held on June 8, 2010. Incumbent Attorney General Jerry Brown, a Democrat, was elected Governor of California.

The two major candidates were district attorneys from Los Angeles County and San Francisco, Republican Steve Cooley and Democrat Kamala Harris respectively. On November 24, 2010, Cooley conceded to Harris, giving the Democrats a sweep of statewide executive offices. On November 30, Harris declared victory. Harris was the state's first female attorney general, first African American attorney general (father from Jamaica), and first Asian American (mother from India) state attorney general when her term began in January 2011. Harris would later go on to be elected as a U.S. Senator in 2016 and Vice President in 2020.

Campaign
For much of the election cycle following the primary election, political analysts theorized early on that the strength of Cooley's name after being twice elected District Attorney in Democratic-Stronghold Los Angeles County, being viewed as a rising star in the California Republican Party along with the strength of Meg Whitman's well-funded campaign anchoring the California Republican ticket in 2010 made Steve Cooley the initial favorite by a slight margin to win the election.

Kamala Harris coalesced Democratic support with her opposition to Proposition 8, which Cooley promised to defend in court, opposing the unpopular Proposition 23 and any proposal for an SB 1070-style law in California. Harris benefitted from an endorsement and joint appearance with President Barack Obama at a rally at the University of Southern California before election day as well as a focus of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party on promoting her candidacy in Los Angeles County towards the final weeks of the campaign, which promised to make the race competitive.

On election night, the headliners on the Republican ticket, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina were soundly defeated by Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer, with Democrats having a healthy margin to declare victory in every other statewide contest. Abel Maldonado, who was defeated for his reelection bid as Lieutenant Governor, stated that errors of the Whitman and Fiorina campaigns dragged Republican candidates on the bottom of the ticket down along with the fading fortunes of Whitman and Fiorina towards the end of the race.

The only bright spot statewide for the California Republican Party that night were early returns showing Cooley with a lead of up to eight points, in which he and many news organizations declared victory. However, the next morning, returns from Los Angeles County, which was believed to be a Cooley stronghold came in strong for Kamala Harris, removing one of Cooley's key advantages and making the race too close to call. Cooley then canceled a victory press conference scheduled for that day.

Los Angeles and San Francisco County reported their returns, which favored Harris with less than 38,000 votes (45.9% versus 45.7%)  separating both candidates at the end of counting that day.

On November 24, 2010, Cooley conceded the race when it was determined that he was going to be unable to overcome the 50,000-vote lead that Harris had built up and maintained during the past week, with a majority of the uncounted ballots coming from counties which Harris won. The closest statewide race of the 2010 cycle in California, Cooley was the top vote-getter of the 2010 Republican ticket, while Harris's victory gave the Democratic Party a clean sweep of all of California's statewide offices - a feat the party had last accomplished in 2002.

Orion Perseus Howe (December 29, 1848 – January 27, 1930) was among the youngest recipients of the Medal of Honor for his service in the American Civil War as a Union drummer boy. He was awarded the medal on April 23, 1896.

Early life
Howe was born in 1848 in Portage County, Ohio but after his mother died in 1852, the family moved to Waukegan, Illinois. Howe left his home—accompanied by his younger brother, Lyston Druett Howe—when he was 12 to serve in the 55th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

Military career
Howe and his brother both served as musicians in the same regiment where their father William, a Mexican–American War veteran, was the regimental band leader. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for remaining upon the field of battle until he had reported to General William Tecumseh Sherman the necessity of supplying cartridges for the use of troops under command of Colonel Oscar Malmborg on May 19, 1863. However, Malmborg had ordered Howe to fetch the wrong caliber of cartridge—.54 caliber instead of the needed .58 caliber. Howe was one of several men who volunteered to complete this task; while the others were killed, Howe was seriously wounded, and it took several months for him to recover.  Howe was only 14 years old at the time of his heroic actions, making him one of the youngest persons to earn the Medal of Honor.  On December 25, 1863, Howe reenlisted in the same regiment, being discharged as a corporal on November 30, 1864, and taking part in 14 battles.

A historian wrote of Howe: "We could see him nearly all the way . . . he ran through what seemed a hailstorm of canister and musket-balls, each throwing up its little puff of dust when it struck the dry hillside. Suddenly he dropped and hearts sank, but he had only tripped. Often he stumbled, sometimes he fell prostrate, but was quickly up again and he finally disappeared from us, limping over the summit and the 55th saw him no more for several months."

General Sherman wrote to Secretary of State Edwin M. Stanton about Howe, and for his bravery President Abraham Lincoln appointed him to the United States Naval Academy in July 1865 because he was too young for West Point. Howe resigned as a midshipman on June 15, 1867; he had been a member of the Class of 1870. He later graduated from the New York University dental school. Howe settled in Springfield, Missouri, where he died and was buried in the Springfield National Cemetery.

Medal of Honor citation

Rank and organization: Musician, Company C, 55th Illinois Infantry. Place and date: At Vicksburg, Miss., May 19, 1863. Entered service at: Woken (should be - Waukegan), Ill. Birth: Portage County, Ohio.

Citation:

A drummer boy, 14 years of age, and severely wounded and exposed to a heavy fire from the enemy, he persistently remained upon the field of battle until he had reported to Gen. W. T. Sherman the necessity of supplying cartridges for the use of troops under command of Colonel Malmborg.

Legacy
In 1982 the Waukegan, Illinois National Guard Armory was renamed in his honor. The 933rd Military Police Company currently drills there.

A statue of Howe is located in Veterans
Memorial Plaza at Washington Park, just west of downtown Waukegan. It was dedicated in 2006 by the Waukegan Park District

The Oakover River is a river in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The headwaters of the river rise north of the Wadara Range and west of the Saltbush range near Junction Well then flows in a northerly direction. The river continues north running parallel to the Gregory Range until merging with the Nullagine River to form the De Grey River.

The river flows through many permanent pools on its journey, including Toocoonaragee Pool, Carawine Pool, Yilgalong Pool and Ngumberramooring Pool.

There are 22 tributaries of the river, including Davis River, Stag Arrow Creek, Woodie Woodie Creek, Vanadium Creek, Yownama Creek and Yilgalong Creek.

The first European explorer to find the Oakover was Francis Thomas Gregory. Fellow explorer Peter Warburton crossed the river strapped to a camel toward the end of his trek across the Great Sandy Desert in 1873.

The traditional owners of the area are the Njamal or Nyamal people.

Brian G. Williams (born August 1, 1942) is a Democratic politician who served in the Ohio House of Representatives, representing District 41 from 2005 through 2011.

Life and career
A former educator and school superintendent, Williams moved to politics after a long career in the Akron City School System.

Ohio House of Representatives
When Representative, Bryan C. Williams resigned early to take another job in 2004, Republicans appointed Marilyn Slaby to a potential viable seat for Democrats.  Benefitting from name recognition and a potentially good year for Democrats, Williams entered the race.  He defeated Slaby by fewer than 1000 votes to take his seat.  He won reelection in 2006 easily over former NFL player Tom Cousineau.

By 2008, Democrats were on the verge of taking over the majority in the Ohio House of Representatives.  While the hometown Akron Beacon Journal newspaper supported Williams' opponent Randy Cole, Williams won a third term, as Democrats took control of the majority.  Two years later, Republicans took control by ousting thirteen Democrats, including Williams.

With the 2010 cycle, Marilyn Slaby's husband, Lynn Slaby, ran for the seat formerly held by his wife, and challenged Williams.  In an overwhelmingly Republican year, Slaby defeated Williams.  Following his defeat, Williams retired.

John Adams (born January 14, 1960) is an American politician who served as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 2007 to 2014. For part of his tenure, he served as the majority whip. In 2022, he ran for Ohio Secretary of State, but was defeated by incumbent Secretary of State Frank LaRose in the Republican primary.

Early life
Adams was born in Urbana, Ohio. He has studied at Mesa Community College and Edison State Community College. Adams was a Navy SEAL and later worked for Bethlehem Steel.

Career
He is the owner and operator of a furniture store. Adams has served two terms on the Board of Directors of the Shelby County United Way and was elected as president in 1991.

Politics
When incumbent Representative Derrick Seaver did not seek another term in 2006, Adams was one of four who sought to replace him. He won the Republican nomination with 50.26% of the electorate. He won the general election with 52.37% of the vote over Democrat Adam Ward.

In his first reelection bid in 2008, Adams ran unopposed. He became the minority whip in the House for the 128th General Assembly.

He won a third term in 2010 with 74.27% of the vote over Democrat Anthony Ehresmann. Soon after, House colleagues elected Adams to be majority whip of the 129th General Assembly. He was sworn in as whip on January 3, 2011. He also serves on the committees of Commerce, Labor and Technology; Insurance and its Subcommittee on Workers' Compensation; Rules and Reference; and State Government and Elections. Adams is also chairing the Tax Structure Study Committee.

Adams won a final term in 2012 unopposed.

Adams is a member of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), serving as Ohio state leader.

Initiatives and positions
In the 128th Ohio General Assembly, Adams introduced a measure that sought to eliminate the Ohio income tax, but was unsuccessful. Ohio Governor John Kasich afterwards used the same initiative as a campaign talking point, to mixed reviews.

Adams introduced a measure to create a panel that reviews the potential of any state-owned property for possible oil and gas drilling. A similar bill was introduced in the Ohio Senate. It would consist of a five-member panel that would open potential state lands up to the highest bidder for oil and gas exploration. While controversial, the bill passed the Ohio House of Representatives, with the promise that the measure would create jobs and help lower energy prices. The bill was signed into law by John Kasich, allowing for oil and gas to now be taken from state lands.

Stating that no profession is immune from economic reality, Adams voted for a bill that limits collective bargaining for public employees.

Personal life
Adams lives in Sidney, Ohio. He and his wife Tara have seven children.

Matt Hall (born 16 September 1971 in Newcastle, Australia) is a third-generation pilot, a former Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fighter combat instructor, international unlimited aerobatic competitor and the first Australian to be selected to compete in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, starting in 2009. He won the championship in the final season of Red Bull Air Race in 2019.

Flying history

Hall has a long flying history, having started flying with his father at an early age. He is a third-generation pilot, his grandfather having flown in World War II.

Hall's first solo flight was at age 15 in a glider, and he gained his aircraft pilot's licence at the age of 18. He is licensed in gliders, ultra-lights and hang gliders, and has had one parachute jump. He has more than 4,000 hours in various aircraft types, including over 700 in light aircraft and over 500 doing aerobatics. As these flights are often only 20–30 minutes, he has many more takeoffs and landings. Hall has over 300 hours in his airshow display aircraft, the Giles G-202.

A Mustang P-51D is his fifth aircraft (the others were a Vans RV-4, Acrosport II biplane, Piper Cherokee180C and the Giles G-202). He raced an MXS-R during the first five seasons of his Red Bull Air Race World Championship career (2009–2010, 2014–2016), switching to his current race plane, the Zivko Edge 540 V3, for the beginning of the 2017 Red Bull Air Race World Championship.

He also flies an EXTRA300L in which he performs domestic displays and conducts more than 400 joy flight experiences per year.

Military career

As a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fighter pilot, Hall logged over 1,500 F/A-18 Hornet hours. As a Fighter Combat Instructor, in 2006 he completed a tour as the chief instructor for this demanding course.

He has received many awards during his military career, including Dux of Pilot, F/A-18 Hornet and Fighter Combat Instructor courses, the 1997 Fighter Pilot of the Year, and he was awarded a Chief of Air Force commendation for his performance as the Chief Instructor of the 2006 Fighter Combat Instructor course.

Hall spent three years in the United States of America on a USAF exchange programme, flying over 500 hours in the F-15E Strike Eagle, including combat. For his efforts, he was awarded combat decorations by both the US and Australia.

He resigned from the RAAF to allow him to become a full-time race pilot.

Aerobatic history

Hall has flown aerobatics for many years, becoming more serious about competition and display aerobatics whilst on his military exchange in the USA. He travelled widely to air shows, fly-ins and aerobatic competitions, and was inspired by performances at the 2003 World Aerobatic Championships (WAC) in Florida. Through involvement at competitions and as a member of the International Aerobatic Club, he was able to be coached and mentored by many of the top US competitors and performers.

Initially competing in his Acrosport II biplane, he won the US East Coast Aerobatic Championship at the Sportsman level. He soon reached the limits of the aircraft's capabilities, and moved up to the Giles G-202, which he brought back to Australia, as the first of type. He won the NSW State Aerobatic Championships at Intermediate level in the Giles G-202 in October 2005.

In April 2006 Hall won the Australian Aerobatic Championships at the Advanced level, his first Nationals and Advanced competition. In April 2007 he moved up to Unlimited, and competed at the Australian National Aerobatic Championships, placing second overall, but first in Freestyle. He then went on to compete in the US Nationals in September, using Rob Holland's MX-2, achieving 10th place overall, and 5th in the Freestyle competition.

In November 2007, the Red Bull Air Race offered him the chance to participate in a series of Training Camps under former world champion Patrick Paris, as a lead up to the 2008 European Aerobatic Championships. During the lead up, he competed in the World Aerobatics Cup in Prague, finishing 8th, then achieved the required top half finish in the European Championships, finishing his eligibility requirements for selection for a Red Bull Air Race Qualification Camp. Racing aside, he aims to be aerobatic World Champion in the future.

In September 2008, he successfully completed the Red Bull Air Race Qualification Camp, becoming the first Australian to be awarded the coveted Red Bull Air Race Super Licence. Finally, in November 2008 he heard the news that he was selected to join Red Bull Air Race World Championship circuit in 2009.

In June 2010 while qualifying for first session in Windsor, Ontario for the Red Bull Air Race his plane touched the water of the Detroit River due to aerodynamic wing stall but he recovered and landed safely. The plane received "superficial damage", mainly to the right aileron.

Competition aside, Hall also spends a significant amount of his aerobatic flying working on his high energy display flying. This is a new style of "freestyle" flying, in which the pilot uses the aircraft surfaces in novel ways to develop new manoeuvres such as end-over-end tumbling. He is based at Belmont Airport, near his hometown of Newcastle, having purchased the site with other investors including a skydiving company in July 2014.

The Hammersley–Clifford theorem is a result in probability theory, mathematical statistics and statistical mechanics that gives necessary and sufficient conditions under which a strictly positive probability distribution (of events in a probability space)  can be represented as events generated by a Markov network (also known as a Markov random field). It is the fundamental theorem of random fields. It states that a probability distribution that has a strictly positive mass or density satisfies one of the Markov properties with respect to an undirected graph G if and only if it is a Gibbs random field, that is, its density can be factorized over the cliques (or complete subgraphs) of the graph.

The relationship between Markov and Gibbs random fields was initiated by Roland Dobrushin and Frank Spitzer in the context of statistical mechanics. The theorem is named after John Hammersley and Peter Clifford, who proved the equivalence in an unpublished paper in 1971. Simpler proofs using the inclusion–exclusion principle were given independently by Geoffrey Grimmett, Preston and Sherman in 1973, with a further proof by Julian Besag in 1974.

Proof outline

It is a trivial matter to show that a Gibbs random field satisfies every Markov property. As an example of this fact, see the following:

In the image to the right, a Gibbs random field over the provided graph has the form . If variables  and  are fixed, then the global Markov property requires that:  (see conditional independence), since  forms a barrier between  and .

With  and  constant,  where  and . This implies that .

To establish that every positive probability distribution that satisfies the local Markov property is also a Gibbs random field, the following lemma, which provides a means for combining different factorizations, needs to be proved:

Lemma 1

Let  denote the set of all random variables under consideration, and let  and  denote arbitrary sets of variables. (Here, given an arbitrary set of variables ,  will also denote an arbitrary assignment to the variables from .)

If

for functions  and , then there exist functions  and  such that

In other words,  provides a template for further factorization of .

In order to use  as a template to further factorize , all variables outside of  need to be fixed. To this end, let  be an arbitrary fixed assignment to the variables from  (the variables not in ). For an arbitrary set of variables , let  denote the assignment  restricted to the variables from  (the variables from , excluding the variables from ).

Moreover, to factorize only , the other factors  need to be rendered moot for the variables from . To do this, the factorization

will be re-expressed as

For each :  is  where all variables outside of  have been fixed to the values prescribed by .

Let

and

for each  so

What is most important is that  when the values assigned to  do not conflict with the values prescribed by , making  "disappear" when all variables not in  are fixed to the values from .

Fixing all variables not in  to the values from  gives

Since ,

Letting

gives:

which finally gives:

Lemma 1 provides a means of combining two different factorizations of . The local Markov property implies that for any random variable , that there exists factors  and  such that:

where  are the neighbors of node . Applying Lemma 1 repeatedly eventually factors  into a product of clique potentials (see the image on the right).

Dennis E. Murray Jr. (born May 25, 1962) is a current City Commissioner in the City of Sandusky. He has served as a Sandusky City Commissioner since 2014. Dennis is a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, serving the 89th District from 2009 to 2012. Dennis announced that he will run for re-election of his commission seat. On Nov. 2, 2021, Dennis won re-election of his commission seat.

Career
Murray obtained his law degree from Georgetown University and returned to Ohio to work in his family's law firm in Sandusky, where he specializes in contracts, antitrust, securities, and investor and banking fraud. He was elected a Sandusky City Commissioner in 2005 and served until his election to the House. In January 2014, he returned to the Sandusky City Commission where he was chosen to be ex officio mayor. He won re-election to an additional four-year term in November 2017, and in 2021 he won re-election to final four-year term.

Ohio House of Representatives
With incumbent and Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern unable to run again due to term limits, Murray received the nomination to replace him.  In the general election, he defeated Republican Ed Enderle with 53.22% of the vote to take his first term.

In 2010, Republicans saw Murray as potentially vulnerable and fielded Jeff Krabill, a marketing form owner and Sandusky City School Board member, to try to knock him off. However, he managed to keep his seat with 49.06% of the electorate, less than 1000 votes more than Krabill. Murray was sworn into a second term on January 3, 2011. He served on the committees of Judiciary and Ethics (as ranking member), Commerce and Labor, and Agriculture and Natural Resources. He also served on the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact Advisory Board; and the Turnpike Legislative Review Committee.

Initiatives and positions

Corporate welfare
Murray has been a vocal opponent of Governor John Kasich's plan to privatize the Ohio Department of Development.  Along with Michael J. Skindell, Murray has filed a lawsuit against Ohio Governor John Kasich's JobsOhio privatization measure, which Murray has called unconstitutional. One quarrel with the initiative is that under the Ohio Constitution, the Governor is unable to hold two positions, which would occur under JobsOhio. Murray has stated he will continue to challenge the provisions.

In yet another move that sought to challenge Ohio Governor John Kasich, Murray has challenged Kasich to withhold his campaign pledge to not allow drilling on Lake Erie.  Kasich has proposed leasing state properties for potential drilling for oil and natural gas.

Social issues
He also is an opponent of Matt Huffman's plan to raise Ohio's retirement age for judges seeking election from 70 to 75, stating he had practiced before several state and federal judges who appeared to have stayed too long on the bench.  Nonetheless, both measures ultimately passed the Ohio House of Representatives. Murray has acknowledged that there is no effective system of peers that can step up to sitting judges and tell them it's time to step aside.

Collective bargaining
With a collective bargaining bill that looks to take away specific rights for public employees, Murray has come out in opposition, and voted against the bill while it was in committee. He called the legislation masquerading as a budget issue.

Sulfoquinovose, also known as 6-sulfoquinovose and 6-deoxy-6-sulfo-D-glucopyranose, is a monosaccharide sugar that is found as a building block in the sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG). Sulfoquinovose is a sulfonic acid derivative of glucose, the sulfonic acid group is introduced into the sugar by the enzyme UDP-sulfoquinovose synthase (SQD1). Sulfoquinovose is degraded through a metabolic process termed sulfoglycolysis. The half-life for mutarotation of sulfoquinovose at pD 7.5 and 26C is 299 minutes.

David E. Burke (born July 26, 1967) served as State Senator for the 26th District of the Ohio Senate. He formerly served in the Ohio House of Representatives. He served as the Chairman of the Senate Finance Medicaid subcommittee.

Life and career
Burke received his bachelor's degree in pharmacy from Ohio Northern University and his master's degree in Business Administration from Capital University.  Burke owned Dave's Pharmacy in Marysville, Ohio from 1997 through 2020, and served on Marysville City Council from 2004 to 2008. Burke served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 2009 to 2011, and has served in the Ohio Senate from 2011 through 2020. He currently serves as a Union County Commissioner.

Dave is married, has two children, and lives in Marysville, Ohio.

Legislation
Having served in both chambers of Ohio's legislature, Burke has played a leading role in many reforms. Burke has been Chairman of the Senate Finance Subcommittee on Health and Medicaid, and in that role has been charged with crafting health policy and funding in the state's budget.

In 2010, Ohio was facing a crisis of prescription drug abuse. HB 93 - The Pill Mill Bill was sponsored by Representative Burke to increase accountability on the medical community by putting a stop to "pill mills". These pill mills were over vastly dispensing drugs such as OxyContin, Percocet, and Vicodin. The bill also created greater reporting requirements for medical professionals and provided tools to local law enforcement to combat the issue.

In 2013, Burke sponsored SB 206, creating The Joint Medicaid Oversight Committee (JMOC).The committee consists of five State Senators and five State Representatives, Burke currently serves as chairman. The committee provides General Assembly oversight to Medicaid operations, policy, and funding in the state. The committee meets regularly to hear from Medicaid state agencies and stakeholders to evaluate the various programs.

Ohio House of Representatives
With incumbent Tony Core unable to run for another term in the Ohio House of Representative, Burke was one of three Republicans who sought to replace him, along with Jack Reser and Cameron Wesselbeck. In the end, Burke won the nomination with 46.78% of the electorate, only 400 votes more than Reser. He ran unopposed in the general election, ensuring him a seat at the Statehouse. In 2010, Burke again ran unopposed.

In the 129th General Assembly, Speaker of the House William G. Batchelder had named Burke as a member of the Republican majority caucus' Policy Committee.

Ohio Senate
With Senator Karen Gillmor resigning from her seat, Burke had been named as a possible successor. Up against ten others who were vying for the seat, Burke was seen as one of the favorites to obtain the seat.

Ultimately, it was announced by Tom Niehaus that Burke would indeed be appointed to fill the vacancy.  He was sworn into office on July 13, 2011. Burke successfully ran for a full term to his seat in 2012, defeating Democrat Tanyce Addison 61% to 39%. Burke was reelected in 2016.

The Blue Tiger (manufacturer designation: DE-AC33C) is a type of high powered diesel-electric locomotive developed by ADtranz in association with General Electric.

History and design
The prototype was unveiled in 1996.

Initially the axle load was expected to be a light  and the power at ~. In practice, the German locomotives had an axle load of  (which is normal for this type of diesel locomotive).

General Electric supplied diesel engines and electrical transmission system (which used IGBT-based inverters driving AC traction motors). The rest of the locomotive was built by AdTranz in Kassel.

For the Pakistani export models a 16-cylinder engine was used.

Bombardier took over AdTranz in 2001, subsequently the Blue Tiger locomotive was shown at InnoTrans in 2002 with a view to European orders. The German production models had a mass of  (axle load ) and an engine power of .

As of 2009, the class is no longer listed as a production model by Bombardier; GE also lists the family as a former production type. For the European market, Bombardier produces the less powerful diesel variants of the TRAXX family, whilst GE offers variants of its Evolution series for export.

Operators

Pakistan
The first orders for the locomotives came from Pakistan Railways in the late 1990s. The locomotives were being built to a gauge of  and powered by a 16-cylinder engine of  instead of the 12-cylinder engine used in the prototype and other production models. The first ten were shipped out, the remainder assembled under license in Pakistan.
Pakistan Locomotive Series Start From 6001 to 6030.

Malaysia

Twenty locomotives were built to  gauge in 2003–2004 for KTM. They were designated as "Class 26" (Numbers: 26101 – 26120).

All the locomotives were named after capes in Malaysia. In the first decade of operations the locomotives proved more reliable than the Malaysian Class 29 locomotives bought at around the same time.

Germany

10 Locomotives were built to  gauge with a view to leasing or orders.

Various companies have used the locomotives. Initially Karsdorfer Eisenbahngesellschaft GmbH (KEG) was to use 8 units, but went bankrupt in 2005. In 2006, the distribution was:
Osthannoversche Eisenbahnen (5 units including the prototype)
ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft (Import Transport Logistik) (2 units)
Havelländische Eisenbahnen AG (4 units)

Models

A working scale model of this locomotive has been produced by the Slovenian company Mehano in N, TT and HO scale.
