Tabor Church () is the church of the Evangelical Tabor Congregation, a member of the Protestant umbrella organisation Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia. The church building is located in Wrangelkiez in the Berlin borough of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. The church was named in memory of the Transfiguration of Jesus, which allegedly took place on Mount Tabor הר תבור in today's Israel.

 The parish's district belonged to the Congregation of Emmaus Church (part of today's Emmaus-Mount of Olives Congregation). Due to the high number of parishioners the district was divided into subsections by 1904, which were provided their own prayer halls. The future Tabor parish then used to be called Emmaus North.

The Church Building
On 1 June 1903 the cornerstone for Tabor Church was laid. Baurat Ernst Schwartzkopff designed the plans. The church is inserted into the alignment of houses in Taborstraße, but facing Wrangelstraße, a long street directed northwest starting opposite of the church façade. The tower of originally 71 m height was built to be a landmark viewable through all of Wrangelstraße. Due to the position of the site inserted between neighbouring houses the quire of the church is not properly oriented, but directed to the southeast.

 Schwartzkopff died before finishing his work and thus Baurat Adolph Bürkner accomplished the constructions. The Evangelischer Kirchenbauverein (Evangelical Association for the Construction of Churches), a charitable organisation then headed by Empress Augusta Victoria, financed the constructions.

The church was inaugurated on 20 December 1905. In 1906 the parish subsection Emmaus North was legally established as the parish Tabor Congregation, becoming the proprietor of Tabor Church.

The church is built from red brick stones in anachronistic neo-Brick Gothic style. A trass statue of Jesus of Nazareth by Julius Wucherer (a 1905-copy after Bertel Thorvaldsen) stands on top of the entrance portal. The street section of the building includes apartments. The prayer hall is built as a centralized auditory hall, typical for Protestant church architecture. The prayer hall is topped by a central stellar vault with a skylight.

The church weathered the Second World War with little damage. But the high conic spire of the tower had been shortened after considerable damage. The remaining stump consists of the massive brick stone construction of the lower parts of the tower.

Furnishings as of 1905
Wall paintings with scenes from birth and resurrection of Jesus by Birkle & Thomer, mosaic tympana at the portals by A. Becker.

The Cemetery of Tabor Congregation in formerly East German Ahrensfelde
Tabor Congregation, located in what used to be West Berlin, has its own graveyard section in the denominational Eastern Churchyard () in formerly East Berlin's eastern suburb of Ahrensfelde. Between May 27, 1952 and 3 October 1972 West Berliners were banned from free access to the East German German Democratic Republic proper – as distinguished from East Berlin. In this time all West Berliners, wishing to visit the grave of a late relative or friend in the cemeteries in East Germany, were excluded, as well as late widows and widowers, who wanted to be buried side by side with their earlier deceased spouses buried there. Between 1972 and December 22, 1989 West Berliners had restricted access, because they had to apply for East German visas and to pay for a compulsory exchange (officially in , i.e. minimum exchange).

El Valle de Antón, generally called El Valle, or Anton's Valley in English, is a town of 7,600 in the Coclé province of Panama.

Geography

The town is located in the flat wide caldera of the 6 km wide El Valle volcano that is inactive; there is evidence that it erupted as recently as about 300,000 years ago  Because of its elevation (600 m), it is cooler than the Panamanian lowlands. Natural attractions near El Valle include the Chorro El Macho waterfall, Las Mozas waterfall, the "square" trees behind Hotel Campestre, and a group of small thermal pools (which consist of three cement pools of mineralized water that varies in color depending on the specific minerals present at a given moment). The area around the town is also known for being one of the last habitats of the critically endangered Panamanian golden frog. Some of the forests around the town are protected areas.

Demographics
El Valle had a population of 7,602 as of 2010. In 2000 its population was 6,175;  in 1990 it was 4,900.

Features

El Valle has one main road, called Avenida Central or Calle Central, which runs east–west across the town. A main landmark is the town's public market, which is open seven days a week, although it is sometimes referred to as El Valle's Sunday Market. El Valle has a very small historical and geological museum, as well as a small zoo (El Nispero, named after a type of tree), a small serpentarium, a butterfly house, and an orchid conservation center, called APROVACA, which displays over 100 native local orchid species. There are also several petroglyphs west of town that are known as La Piedra Pintada.

Some of the people who own properties in the heart of El Valle are wealthy people from Panama City who use the area as their vacation or weekend home. Popular activities in the area include cycling, hiking, horseback riding, and birdwatching. El Valle is home to around 500 species of birds.

The town is about 25 km off the Interamerican Highway by a two-lane road. The road is generally in good condition, with a few potholes that are repaired regularly. Buses, usually mini-buses, to Panama City are frequent and take approximately 2.5 hours.  As of 2014, the last direct bus to Panama City leaves El Valle at 3pm with a fare of $4.25. To reach other locations in Panama, it is generally necessary to take a bus to San Carlos and transfer there. As of 2014, the last bus from El Valle to San Carlos leaves at 6pm.

Matt Bird is an Australian film director.

Biography
Matt Bird is a Sydney-based director who in February 2013 became the first filmmaker to be selected as a Tropfest finalist for 3 consecutive years, the world’s largest short film festival.

The three films were ‘Taser’ (2013) starring Firass Dirani, ‘Min Min’ (2012) and ‘A Desperate Deed’ (2011), which won Best Editing and Best Original Score.

Bird’s notoriety as a director began in 2000 when he wrote, directed and produced the indie feature 'Blue Neon' during his final year of film studies at the University of Technology, Sydney. Triple J radio film critic Peter Castaldi declared at the time: "Australian screens need a future and this is it!"
Bird was then invited as one of eight award-winning directors to make a film for POV 2002, from a script by celebrated writer Brendan Cowell. Bird's film 'The Doppelgangers' told the story of a woman haunted by horrific visions of her lover's double, and starred AFI Award Winner Pia Miranda.

After meeting producer/MC Thes One of People Under The Stairs, Bird directed the Los Angeles hip-hop duo's debut music video "The Wiz" in 2008. He has also directed music videos for ARIA Award winner's Bliss N Eso and operates Chesterfilm, a film & TV production company based in Sydney.

In 2011, Bird's thriller 'Cold Sore', starring Saskia Burmeister and Henry Nixon, travelled the international film festival circuit and won Best Short Film at the Indie Spirit Film Festival, and Best Story Line at the Boston International Film Festival. The film had its UK Premiere at the 65th Edinburgh International Film Festival.

In addition to his 3 Tropfest films, Bird also made 'The Exchange' for the APRA Tropscore competition in 2013, in which composers were invited to write a score for Bird’s film.

The PUAH Institute (Hebrew: מכון פועה Machon Puah) is an Israel-based, international organization that works with Jewish couples with fertility problems . PUAH was founded in 1990 at the request of Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu to bridge the gap between fertility treatment and Jewish law.

The institute offers counseling services and technical support for couples engaging with infertility.

Background

In vitro fertilisation and related treatments at their outset in the 1980s were viewed with great skepticism by the religious communities.

Within the Orthodox Jewish community, the concept was debated. In general, traditional Judaism views medical intervention positively. Regarding ART, the positive view of medicine is challenged by the Jewish religious legal system (halakha) which has numerous laws regarding modesty, sexuality and verifiable lineage.

Rabbi Menachem Burstein was requested by Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu to create a framework to assist couples in navigating the medical options while remaining within halakha.

Services
The institute receives daily calls and services many couples each year. Advisers are mostly available by phone and email - rarely in person.

Counseling Services
Puah works with couples both by reviewing medical records and advising as to specific doctors and by finding solutions to problems of Jewish law raised by treatment procedures. Common problems in ART and halacha include sperm sampling and banking, fertility treatments on Shabbat and surrogacy.

Supervision Services

Due to fear of both human error and intentional deception (as in the case of Cecil Jacobson) the majority of orthodox rabbis have ruled that Jewish law requires an outside supervisor present to monitor the procedure and storage of the genetic material. An orthodox man or women must oversee all aspects of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process, including sample washing, centrifugation, freezing and loading of pipettes.

If the clinic can spare it, the lab will have a dedicated incubator or storage tanks for the Puah-supervised couples. That particular incubator, unlike those containing the reproductive material of non-supervised couples, is locked with a latch and key. The Puah supervisor is the only person with a key.

An alternative is a stainless steel case with dime sized holes in it, known as a Puanite box. The material is placed inside the container, which is then locked with a plastic or metal tie embossed seal with the supervising organization's insignia and placed on one of the incubator shelves. The case can only be opened by snipping the tie.

Puah Institute provides these supervision services in Israel, Europe, Australia, South Africa, South America, the United States and Canada.

Educational Programs
The interplay between traditional Jewish law and modern medicine has created many challenges for the Jewish community. Over the past 30 years many people and organizations have worked to bridge this gap. Puah's educational department works to educate medical professionals to better understand the religious lifestyle and restrictions of the Orthodox Jewish patient and to educate Rabbis to understand the medical challenges and options confronting their congregants.

In January 2010, Puah launched JewishFertility.org, an educational website giving information about the practical applications and interactions of Jewish law and fertility medicine. The web site is presented as a guide for couples experiencing infertility issues.

Professional expertise is also available to the general public through a wide variety of lectures worldwide, training courses and educational news releases. An annual conference is held in Jerusalem each year aimed at the broad public with attendance of over 1500.

The 52d Troop Carrier Wing (52 TCW) is a disbanded unit of the United States Air Force.  It was last assigned to the New York Air National Guard (NY ANG) as the 52d Fighter Wing, being stationed at Westchester County Airport, New York.  It was inactivated on 31 October 1950 and the unit designation withdrawn and returned to the Air Force by the National Guard Bureau.  It was disbanded on 15 June 1983.

History

World War II
The wing was established and activated as an airlift unit, the 52d Transport Wing on 15 June 1942. It was a major training organization for I Troop Carrier Command, from 1942 to 1943, training subordinate units in the United States prior to overseas deployment.

The wing deployed to North Africa in 1943 and was assigned to Twelfth Air Force. its units subsequently engaged in combat operations, supporting Fifth Army units in the North African and Tunisian Campaigns.  The wing's five groups also carried Army parachutists and towed gliders during Operation Husky.   It provided supply transportation during the subsequent Italian Campaign during the balance of 1943

The wing was reassigned to Ninth Air Force and moved to England during February 1944.  Its subordinate units began training for the invasion of continental Europe. This training involved airdropping paratroopers and towing gliders.
Groups present for the invasion training were the 61st Troop Carrier Group, 313th Troop Carrier Group, 314th Troop Carrier Group, 315th Troop Carrier Group, 316th Troop Carrier Group, 349th Troop Carrier Group, and 434th Troop Carrier Group.

In June 1944, subordinate units of the wing dropped paratroopers in Normandy, subsequently flying numerous missions to bring in reinforcements and needed supplies. During the airborne attack on the Netherlands (Operation Market Garden), in September 1944, the 50th dropped paratroops, towed gliders, and flew resupply missions. Several of its subordinate units also participated in the invasion of southern France in August 1944. The 50th supported the 101st Airborne Division in the Battle of the Bulge by towing gliders full of supplies near Bastogne on 27 December 1944. In addition, its units participated in Operation Varsity, the air assault across the Rhine River in early 1945 and later flew numerous aerial resupply and casualty evacuation flights of wounded personnel as well as theater troop transport operations. It operated until V-E Day, then returned to the United States until inactivation in 1946.

New York Air National Guard
The wartime 52d Troop Carrier Wing was allotted to the New York Air National Guard, on 28 August 1946. It was re-designated as the 52d Fighter Wing and organized at Westchester County Airport, New York, being extended federal recognition on 3 October 1947 by the National Guard Bureau.

It was a command and control organization, controlling one bombardment group at Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn and a fighter group at Niagara Falls International Airport.   The wing also controlled Air National Guard units in New Jersey and Delaware.

At the end of October 1950, the ANG converted to the wing-base (Hobson Plan) organization. As a result, the wing was inactivated on 31 October 1950 and the allocation was withdrawn from the New York ANG.  The 106th Bombardment Wing at Brooklyn, and 107th Fighter Wing at Niagara Falls formed and were simultaneously allotted to the NY ANG and activated to replace the 52d, reporting directly to the New York National Guard Adjutant General in Albany.

The NY ANG 52d Fighter Wing should not be confused with the 52d Fighter Wing first activated in June 1948 and currently active.

The Manú Learning Centre (MLC) is located within the Fundo Mascoitania Reserve, a 643 hectare private nature reserve, encompassed within the cultural zone of the Manú Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest protected areas in Peru. It is home to a variety of rainforest types including lowland Andean, pre-montane, bamboo and high terrace forests. This geographical complexity creates habitats for a diversity of flora and fauna.  The MLC is operated by the CREES group, a non-profit and business collaboration working towards sustainability for the Manú Region. The MLC serves local schools and communities as well as international researchers and volunteers.  It has hosted workshops for the Organization for Tropical Studies, and on behalf of the Manú National Park Guards, as well as research projects from the University of Oxford, Aberdeen, and Glasgow University in addition to the SOAS.  The MLC has also worked alongside schools from the UK including Southbank International School and Tonbridge School.

History
The MLC was built in 2004 on an abandoned hacienda, the first to be developed in the region.  The initial concept was to demonstrate that it was possible to use novel land use techniques to rehabilitate large areas of degraded land and to empower and educate local communities throughout this process.  There is a large body of work that had been completed at the MLC incorporating aspects of biology, geography, zoology, anthropology, tropical agriculture, politics, and art. Specific projects have focused on reforestation, mammal behaviour patterns, human impact studies, environmental management, monitoring of the blue headed macaw (CITES Red listed), soil & agricultural sustainability, forest dynamics, carbon offsetting, and the legitimacy of local power structures to name a handful.

In 2017 a new species of frog, Ameerega shihuemoy was described from the research station, where it was found occurring in SLR (selectively logged rainforest) habitat at the back of the reserve.

CREES
CREES (Conservation, Research & Education towards Environmental Sustainability) was established in 2003 prior to the construction of the MLC and the creation of Fundo Mascoitania. It is the only organisation to be in operation within the Manú region of Peru who regularly consults with local populations about their development priorities and leads the consequential local development projects.

Access
The MLC is accessible from Cusco by road until Atalaya and then by lancha until the port at the MLC.  During the dry season boats may not be able to navigate the river from Atalaya in which case transport is needed up until the Aguanos settlement on the opposite side of the Alto Madre de Dios River.  Crossing is then possible by raft or by lancha.

Biodiversity and wildlife

Macaw Collpa

The MLC reserve attracts an array of parrots and macaws thanks to the spectacular clay mineral lick, or Collpa carved out by the Alto Madre de Dios river. This collpa is the only one of its type in the zone, and is visited daily by hundreds of colourful and noisy parrots and macaws, the most notable of these being the Blue Headed Macaw. These in turn draw raptors such as the ornate hawk eagle and crested eagle.

Mammal Collpa

The MLC boasts two large mammal collpas which attracts smaller mammals as well as large groups of white-lipped peccary and their natural Jaguar predators.

Wildlife Monitoring Array

The MLC's wildlife monitoring array was established in 2005. The array comprises a 1 km2 monitoring grid mapped using GPS.  It provides a quantified area in which researchers can complete research on plants, animals and birds.

The 1978 Wolverhampton Metropolitan Borough Council election for the City of Wolverhampton Council was held on Thursday 4 May.

Following the elections no single party had overall control of Wolverhampton Metropolitan Borough Council, the WAR candidates voted with Labour at the mayor making a few weeks later but control passed to the Conservative group following the February 1979 Low Hill by election when the Conservatives gained a seat from Labour.

The 1978 election is notable in that two future Wolverhampton Members of Parliament, Dennis Turner (Bilston East) and Ken Purchase (Eastfield) were both elected to the council.

A vacant seat in St Peters meant two seats were contested in that ward.

The composition of the council prior to the election was:

Labour 33
Conservative 24
Wolverhampton Association of Ratepayers 2

Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths is a 1999 adventure game developed by Nayma Software.

The game's first appearance was in December 1997 in Torino during the multimedia event Saloon.bit at Nayma Expo-Stand and then on March 24, 1998 in Firenze during the MediARTech International Exhibition, where the game got attention from main Italian computer magazines and distributors.

Tony Tough received one sequel: Tony Tough 2: A Rake's Progress (2006). In 2011, Tony Tough entered the ScummVM project. On October 24, 2012, the game was launched again under license from DotEmu, a retro-gaming company based in Paris, France.

Gameplay
Players control the titular Tony Tough, a private detective described as "a gnome-sized, nasal-voiced hypochondriac momma’s boy", guiding him through the game by positioning the cursor over objects and instructing Tony to interact with them. The game shares many traits with titles such as Day of the Tentacle, which it has been compared with by reviewers. These include a focus on conversations with strange characters, puzzle solving, and combining and using items found throughout the game. The graphics and animation are cartoon-like. Two modes of play are present; beginner mode has fewer puzzles and does not feature the two in-game mini-games.

Tony Tough began development in 1997. It was released in 1999.

International release
In France, the game was released in 2003 by Focus Home Interactive. The publisher was inspired to release the game because of the commercial success of Runaway: A Road Adventure.

Reception

Tony Toughs German publisher, DTP Entertainment, remarked in 2004 that the game's performance in the region was "satisfying, but I would lie if I talked of a 'hit'." They noted that sales had been damaged by competition from Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon and Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, thanks to its launch during the holiday shopping season. In France, Focus Home Interactive's Cédric Lagarrigue reported conservative sales forecasts for Tony Tough, but said in August 2003 that its "first sales results are satisfactory". Summarizing its overall commercial performance, Randy Sluganski of Just Adventure remarked that the game "just did not sell."

My Life at First Try is a 2008 semi-autobiographical flash fiction novel by Mark Budman that was published by Counterpoint Press.

Summary
My Life at First Try follows the character of Alex, who was born in 1950s Soviet Union. Alex hopes for a future where two things come to pass: he becomes a writer and meets his American cousin Annie. He also wants to overcome the bleakness of the Soviet Union and become someone a carefree foreigner akin to some tourists he saw as a child. However, as he grows the institutionalized nature of his surroundings dims these dreams. When he and his family moves to America in the 80s, Alex finally gets to fulfill his wish of being a foreigner, only to discover that rather than being carefree, his new life feels alien to him and it's up to him to try to find his own self-fulfillment.

Reception
Critical reception for My Life at First Try was mixed to positive, with Kirkus Reviews calling the book "a funny, little-seen version of the American dream". The Washington Post wrote that while readers won't want to stop reading, "Budman's success with this form is uneven, and too many wonderful scenes seem truncated or prematurely abandoned when he breaks off for the next year". Publishers Weekly and People Magazine both reviewed the book, with Publishers Weekly giving a positive review.

Temple Oheb Shalom (Hebrew; Lovers of Peace) is a Reform synagogue in Baltimore, Maryland. The highest point in the city is located in its parking lot.

History
The congregation was founded in 1853 by Jewish immigrants from German Confederation member states, Hungary, and Czech territories; pioneer Reform rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise had considerable influence in the congregation's establishment. Its first home was on Hanover Street near Camden Yards.

Benjamin Szold was rabbi from 1859 to 1892; his daughter Henrietta Szold was the founder of Hadassah. Szold had a moderating effect on the march of Oheb Shalom toward Reform practice. He encouraged Sabbath observance and replaced Wise's Minhag America with his own traditional Abodat Yisroel siddur. William Rosenau succeeded him (1892-1940).

In 1892 the congregation built the Eutaw Place Temple, designed by architect Joseph Evans Sperry who modeled it after the Great Synagogue of Florence in the fashionable Moorish Revival style. The congregation sold the building to the Prince Hall Masons in 1961.

In 1953 the congregation acquired land in Pikesville, and finished construction on its present building on Park Heights Avenue, designed by Sheldon I. Leavitt with consulting architect Walter Gropius in 1960. The design is dominated by four large vaults and Gropius saw the design as a modern combination of "the turbine with the Torah." Gropius' design also had an atypical design, with the sanctuary floor ascending toward the bimah on the eastern wall; this design was later reversed so that the floor descends toward the bimah on the western wall.

On Friday, May 3, 2002, a fire broke out at the Mitchell County jail in Bakersville, North Carolina. Bakersville is located northeast of Asheville, North Carolina, and has a population of less than 500. The jail, built in the 1950s, held 17 inmates; some were serving time for misdemeanors and others were awaiting trial on felonies.

Fire
Jailer Diane Greene smelled smoke and called for help around 10:05 p.m. Greene and an inmate trustee, Melissa Robinson, tried to rescue trapped inmates, but heavy smoke forced them out of the building. The jail's four cells only could be opened manually, one at a time with keys. one deputie Charles Vines Jr., freed eight inmates on the ground floor, but they were not able to reach the men upstairs. By 11:30 p.m., about 100 firefighters from four counties had extinguished the fire.

Eight inmates died of smoke inhalation. Seven were trapped on the second floor, and one was in a holding cell on the ground floor. Thirteen others — nine inmates, three jail employees, and one firefighter — were injured and hospitalized.

The SBI originally classified the fire as an accident, saying it began in a storage room on the jail's ground floor when cardboard boxes stacked against a heater ignited creating heavy smoke that quickly spread through the two-story brick and wood building.

The site of the former jail has been turned into a memorial.

Victims
The men who died in the fire:
 Mark Halen Thomas, 20, was serving time for driving while impaired and driving while license revoked.
 Jeremiah Presnell, 20, was serving time for driving while license revoked and probation violation.
 Joey Grindstaff, 23, was serving time for fleeing to elude arrest.
 Jesse Allen Davis, 26, was serving time for felony breaking and entering and larceny, habitual felon, possession of a schedule IV controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance on jail premises, possession of a firearm by a felon, and assault and battery.
 Jason Boston, 27, was serving time for driving while impaired.
 Tywain Neal, 28, was serving time for felony obtaining property by false pretenses.
 Danny Johnson, 42, was serving time for felony breaking and entering, first degree kidnapping, and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict harm.
 Edmond Banks, 46, was serving time for driving while impaired, driving with license revoked, fleeing to elude arrest, and reckless driving.

Alleged perpetrators
The state alleges Robinson, in return for drugs and money, planned to make a smoke diversion to give way for the escape.

In a motion, the state says Robinson let Denise into the jail on May 3, 2002. In a back storeroom, Denise and Robinson piled cardboard boxes near a wall heater to make the fire look like it was sparked accidentally. They set the fire and doused the boxes with fingernail polish remover.

A date for the trial has not been set. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation has reopened its investigation.

Legal
Since 2007 the state has compiled 16 depositions from friends of Robinson, inmates that survived the fire, and investigators and paramedics responding to the fire.

The following tort claims from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Resources to pay for pain and suffering incurred because of the fire have been settled:
 The Estate of Jason Boston, $400,000.
 The Estate of Mark Thomas, $325,000.
 The Estate of Jeremiah Presnell, $310,000.
 The Estate of Joey Grindstaff, $276,000.
 The Estate of Danny Johnson, $240,000.
 The Estate of Jesse Davis, $27,000.
 OM Ledford, $276,000.

Pending claims
Some claims remain pending because the department is counterclaiming the amounts, saying Robinson conspired with Jesse Davis and his wife Denise in starting the fire. The following claims are still pending:
 Melissa Robinson, a/k/a Melissa Tipton Buchanan
 Arthur Robinson
 Patrick Mays
 Ricky Foreman

"Chuck Versus the Nemesis" is the tenth episode of Chuck's first season. It aired on November 26, 2007. Chuck is forced to confront his former college roommate and the man who ruined his life when Bryce Larkin is discovered alive.

Plot summary

Main plot

Bryce Larkin (Matthew Bomer) is undergoing examination in a CIA detention facility while Casey and Sarah look on. However, he refuses to speak with anyone but Chuck. Chuck is at work, still trying to get in touch with Sarah since their kiss in the previous episode. Sarah arrives to bring him in before they can discuss what happened between them.

Chuck is shocked to learn Bryce is alive and wants to see him. Casey lets Chuck into the room where he's being held, but Bryce doesn't believe it's him until after a short exchange in Klingon. Before Chuck can get any answers, Bryce takes him hostage and uses him to escape into an elevator. Bryce releases him and begins to explain when the elevator stops and he is confronted by Tommy (Anthony Ruivivar). Chuck flashes and identifies him as a member of Fulcrum. Tommy tells Bryce to give himself up, but Bryce refuses. The elevator starts moving again and Chuck questions him about Fulcrum, but Bryce is evasive. He admits his surprise how quickly the Intersect works but as the elevator stops again, Bryce tranquillizes Chuck and leaves him as he makes his escape.

Later Sarah is helping Chuck home and tells him that Bryce is not their concern. Ellie comes out to ask if Sarah is joining them for Thanksgiving dinner and Sarah agrees. The next night Sarah meets Chuck at his home. Ellie has also invited Casey, and Morgan brings Anna. Chuck has to go to his car to get the marshmallows for Morgan's favorite dish and is approached by Bryce, who requests to talk to Sarah without Casey interfering. Chuck agrees and lets Bryce hide in his room before returning to dinner, where he tips off Sarah. Bryce starts explaining the situation and that she should believe him because she's still in love with him, then kisses her. Unknown to both, Chuck sees the two kissing and tips off Casey that Bryce is there. Bryce leaves before Casey arrives and Thanksgiving dinner breaks up, with Casey, Sarah and Chuck pursuing Bryce.

Casey has Chuck and Sarah look in his apartment while he checks the back, where Chuck admits to having seen Bryce kiss her. They're unable to discuss the issue further before realizing someone is inside Casey's apartment. They enter to find Bryce attempting to break into the computer. Bryce tells them he's not rogue and that he was recruited by Fulcrum for an operation called "Sandwall," which causes Chuck to flash, confirming his story. He tells them Fulcrum is a rogue faction within the CIA, and he stole, destroyed, and sent the Intersect to Chuck to keep it out of their hands. Casey returns home, and before anyone can stop him, shoots Bryce.

Sarah checks up on Bryce and finds he was wearing a bulletproof vest. They manage to convince Casey that Bryce is telling the truth, and develop a plan to turn Bryce over to the CIA, using the Buy More Black Friday sale and the Intersect to ensure the contacts are not Fulcrum. Everyone arrives at the store and the hand-off goes as planned. Sarah accompanies Bryce to the transfer point, but they are ambushed on the way. They manage to escape their captors and head back to find Chuck. Meanwhile, Tommy shows up at the Buy More having deduced that Chuck is actually the Intersect. Chuck uses a pre-arranged "panic" word ("Pineapple") to trigger an evacuation of the store, distracting Tommy long enough for Casey to get him to the safety of the Home Theater room.

A shootout between Casey and Tommy's team erupts after the store evacuates, destroying the store. Bryce and Sarah arrive and engage the Fulcrum team in hand-to-hand combat while Casey attempts a breakout with Chuck but is knocked out by Tommy, who takes Chuck captive. Bryce asks Chuck a question in Klingon, and after he responds, Bryce shoots Chuck. Casey then arrives and knocks out Tommy. Sarah discovers Chuck is wearing a bulletproof vest and is alive. Bryce is assigned to go after Fulcrum and offers Sarah a chance to go with him. The episode ends with both Bryce and Chuck calling her, and Sarah unsure of which call to answer.

Buy More

Morgan is placed in charge of prepping the store for the Black Friday sale by Big Mike. The Nerd Herd team spends Thanksgiving morning going over crowd control. Morgan teaches them to use the word "pineapple" as a code to trigger an evacuation of the store, which the team begins mocking.

Morgan brings his new girlfriend, Anna, to Thanksgiving dinner where Anna immediately takes a dislike to Ellie, as Morgan's crush on her is well known. When Morgan begins going into ecstasies over his favorite dish, which Ellie makes as a specialty, Anna gets upset and leaves.

The next morning at the store, Chuck uses the "pineapple" code to trigger an evacuation when he's captured by Tommy. Big Mike panics at seeing the customers leave but is unable to stop them and is swept out of the store. Anna is knocked down by the press of people, and Morgan carries her out, passing her "test". Big Mike is about to fire Morgan when a fireman (part of an NSA cleanup team) tells him there was a gas leak, and Morgan saved everyone's life.

Production

"Chuck Versus the Nemesis" answered several questions left by the pilot episode, specifically why Bryce stole the Intersect and sent it to Chuck in the first place. The episode is the beginning of the Fulcrum arc which became the primary focus of Season 2.

Tommy was the show's first antagonist to appear in more than one episode, having first appeared in "Chuck Versus the Imported Hard Salami". This is also the first time Fulcrum was mentioned or described. It also fleshes out more of Bryce's background. While Sarah has referred to her partnership with Bryce in past episodes, it is also the first time that audiences were shown how well they work together, illustrated by the fight scene in the Buy More when they work together to take out Tommy's men. It also marks the first time Bryce was used as a plot device to stagger the development of Chuck and Sarah's personal relationship.

Flashes

Chuck flashes the first time he sees Tommy. This is the first time he learns about Fulcrum.
When Bryce says the name of Fulcrum's operation to steal the Intersect, Chuck has a flash.

Reception

IGN.com gave the episode a 9/10, feeling the episode made good use of the Black Friday subplot, and integrating the main and Buy More storylines. The comedy of the Thanksgiving dinner scene, and Anna's automatic dislike of Ellie was also greatly appreciated. The action in the second half was also well-done.

TVSquad enjoyed the turn from the self-contained stories leading up to "Chuck Versus the Nemesis" to the beginning of the overall arc. As with IGN, TVSquad touted the use of Black Friday.

Bryce's line to Sarah, "We'll always have Omaha" is a nod to Casablanca's famed goodbye line "We'll always have Paris".

Dude Cowboy is a 1941 American western film. David Howard directed the film (his final one) and Morton Grant wrote the screenplay. The film stars Tim Holt as Terry McVey, Eddie Kane as Gordon West, Marjorie Reynolds as Barbara Adams (alias Bernice Allen), Byron Foulger as Frank Adams, Louise Currie as Gail Sargent, Eddie Dew as French, Helen Holmes as Aunt Althea Carter, Lloyd Ingraham as Pop Stebbins, Eddie Kane as Gordon West, and Tom London as the Silver City Sheriff.

Filming began 25 April 1941.

Plot summary
In the Old West, cowhand, Terry McVey, is hired by the United States Secret Service to go undercover in Silver City, Nevada and investigate a counterfeiting ring after the disappearance of Frank Adams, a noted engraver. Adams is being held at the Silver Bar Ranch by counterfeiter Gordon West and his gang. The ranch includes a casino and hotel through which West launders his fake money. Terry arrives by train along with Adams' daughter, Barbara, who poses as "Bernice Allen."  Terry and Barbara are attracted to each other. Also in Silver City are two of Terry's pals, Smokey and Whopper, who are working a medicine show.

The sheriff arrests Terry, Smokey and Whopper for disturbing the peace after a fight breaks out. The three are released but the medicine show inventory is auctioned to Pop Stebbins. Meanwhile, Barbara, posing as Bernice, arrives at the Silver Bar Ranch stating she wants to board there for a few days. Terry and his pals are hired to work at the ranch. West plans to kill Adams after his work is completed.

Terry and Barbara become suspicious of French, one of West's men, and follow him to the Silver Queen mine, a hideout where Adams is printing the counterfeit money. Terry's cover is blown and he is chased by West's gang. French discovers Barbara and takes her hostage. Terry eludes his pursuers and heads back to the ranch. Terry informs Smokey and Whopper about the counterfeiting at the mine. French discovers Barbara's true identity and also Terry's involvement. Terry, Smokey and Whopper are held prisoner by West's gang. The gang abandons the three, taking the horses and cutting the phone lines. However, Pop Stebbins arrives with the medicine show wagon which the boys use to transport themselves to the Silver Queen mine. Terry and his pals breach the mine and a gunfight ensues. Adams attempts to destroy the engraving plates but is knocked down by West. Pop Stebbins summons the sheriff to bring a posse. West orders a stampede of the horses to facilitate his escape but Terry jumps on West and French as they ride out, subduing both. Outside the mine, the sheriff and his posse have arrived and arrest West and his gang.

With the ranch now in the hands of Aunt Althea Carter, Terry bids farewell to Barbara, promising to return. Whopper tells Terry that Althea hired him as ranch foreman and he plans to stay. However, when a preacher arrives, Whopper chases Terry's wagon to avoid marrying Althea.

Clifton is a hamlet by the River Cherwell in Deddington civil parish about  south of Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. Clifton is on the B4031 road between Deddington and Croughton, Northamptonshire.

Chapels
A dependent chapel of Deddington parish church still existed in Clifton in 1523 but seems to have disappeared by the 17th century.  A Methodist chapel was built in Clifton in about 1815. It was a small brick building and has since been demolished. The Methodists replaced it in 1869 with a new brick and stucco chapel with plain lancet windows. It was still in use for worship in the 1950s but was disused by 1983 and is now a private house.  A new Church of England chapel of Saint James the Great was completed in 1853. The Diocese of Oxford declared the chapel redundant in and sold it for secular commercial use in 1974.

Community

Clifton has a public house, the Duke of Cumberland's Head, which has recently re-opened with a new campsite and travelling caravan park.  The Clifton dog actor Sykes (born c.2004), is owned by a local animal trainer. He has appeared as "Harvey" in Thinkbox marketing commercials, TV serials, and films. His advertisement for John Smith's Brewery saw him play "Tonto" against Peter Kay.

Michael Peace (born November 30, 1958) is an American rapper and one of Christian rap's first solo artists. Peace was raised in New York City as the second oldest of four children.

Considered the Grandfather of Christian hip hop, he received the "African-American of Distinction" award in 1994 for his commitment to urban communities from then New York Governor Mario Cuomo.

Peace is the founder and president of Michael Peace and Associates, a multi-faceted youth, urban affairs, music and general consulting organization. He has developed curriculum for educational at-risk children and is part of a team spearheading the establishing of abstinence education funding for the city of Rochester (the City-Wide Black Experience History game), as well as being an instructor in public schools.

Peace is the executive director and pastor of Bethel Express of AMERICA, a non-profit in Rochester, New York. He earned a B.S. degree in 1981 in mass media and speech communications from State University of New York at Brockport. In the early 1990s he was a contributing writer to Christian music publication Digital Audio Notebook/Diganote. He was the co-author of an article in 2000 in the Journal of Community Health entitled "Abstinence Education for Urban Youth".

Peace started out in 1985 with several albums released by Reunion and StarSong Records in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1995, he stopped touring in order to concentrate on mentoring at-risk youth in his hometown of Rochester.

After a long layoff, Peace made a live recording at Kingdom Bound in Darien Center, New York on August 7, 2007. It was his first new recording since 1994. During the live session, he assembled about two dozen artists to put together the "world's biggest freestyle single", where rappers each had several seconds to add their own unique lyrical spin to a funky beat.

Peace was married in 1987, and they have one son. He is also a 2018 recipient of the Martin Luther King Everyday Hero. Peace said that God told him "to minister by faith and not charge a fee." Thus, he only made $1,000-2,500 per concert at the height of his career. "The couple depended on God to provide for the ministry, and He did."

is an action platform video game. Originally released in Japan for the MSX2 as  in 1988, it was later released as Psychic World on the Master System and Game Gear worldwide in 1991.

Gameplay
Psychic World is a platform game wherein the player's character Lucía runs from one stage to the other using her "ESP Booster" to blast monstrous enemies while obtaining item power-ups through them or by jumping on various ledges and platforms. The Booster has a gauge of how often certain items and abilities can be used, but that, as with her health, can be replenished by power-ups. All her weapons are upgradeable by merely picking up the same item for that particular weapon and new weapons are obtained through mini-bosses and end-level bosses. The player has to use Lucia's psionic weapons strategically in levels using different elements to their advantage (in the ice stage, rocks being doused by falling water can be frozen and used as a stable platform for Lucía to jump on by blasting the rock with the ice shot, while the sonic wave weapon can destroy certain foreground objects blocking her path).

Plot
Taking place at a remote laboratory in the year 19XX, a three-staff research team consisting of Dr. Knavik and his assistants the TWIN sisters Cecile and Lucia is studying the exploration and usage of ESP. One day while Lucia was getting ready for work, an explosion burst from the lab. By the time Lucia got there, Dr. Knavik was all right, but Cecile had disappeared. Dr. Knavik explains that part of his experiments involved running tests on a variety of monsters, but eventually the subjects rebelled and took Cecile with them. As Lucia follows the monster's track, Dr. Knavik gives her the ESP Booster, a device he created that will enable the user to wield psychic powers.

Reception
Psychic World for the Master System was given mixed but mostly positive reviews 70% by RAZE, and 69% by Video Games. The Game Gear version received a score of 83% from Joystick.

Edward Henry Thorne, F.R.C.O. (1834-1916) was born in Dorset in 1834. He learned music under George Elvey at Chapel Royal. He became Organist of Henley Parish Church at the age of 19. He was working at Chichester Cathedral when the Cathedral reopened with a rebuilt spire and crossing; his anthem, 'I Was Glad', was composed for the special service that marked that occasion. In 1870, he moved to St Patrick's Church, Hove, and he was later at several London churches, notably St Anne's Church, Soho, where he carried on the revival of Bach's music instigated by Joseph Barnby. He was also a composer. An overture of his was performed at an 1885 Promenade Concert, and a number of his hymn tunes were included in Hymns Ancient and Modern. He died in 1916.

The Quest of the Historical Jesus (, literally "From Reimarus to Wrede: a History of Life-of-Jesus Research") is a 1906 work of Biblical historical criticism written by Albert Schweitzer during the previous year, before he began to study for a medical degree.

The original edition was translated into English by William Montgomery and published in 1910. An expanded second German edition was published during 1913, containing theologically significant revisions and expansions. This expanded edition was not published in English until 2001.

Presentation
In The Quest, Schweitzer reviews all prior work on the question of the "historical Jesus" starting with the late 18th century. He points out how Jesus' image has changed with the times and with the personal proclivities of the various authors. He concludes with his own synopsis and interpretation of what had been learned over the course of the previous century. He takes the position that the life and thinking of Jesus must be interpreted in the light of Jesus' own convictions, which he characterizes as those of "late Jewish eschatology", and that Jesus defies any attempt at understanding him by making parallels to the ways of thinking or feeling of modern men. In Schweitzer's view, Jesus genuinely believed that his ministry would bring about the end of history and did not see any prolonged period elapsing between his time on earth and God's final judgment.

The 1913 second edition of Quest included a rebuttal to the "mythicists" of his day, i.e. those scholars who maintain that no historical Jesus ever existed.

Analysis
Schweitzer wrote that Jesus and his followers expected the imminent end of the world. He became very focused on the study and cross referencing of the many Biblical verses promising the return of the Son of Man and the exact details of this urgent event, as it was originally believed that it would unfold. He noted that in the Gospel of St Mark, Jesus speaks of a "tribulation," with nation rising against nation, false prophets, earthquakes, stars falling from the sky, and the coming of the Son of Man "in the clouds with great power and glory." Jesus even tells his disciples when all this will happen: "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done." (Mark 13:30) The same story is told in the Gospel of St Matthew, with Jesus promising his rapid return as the Son of Man, and again saying: "Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Even St Paul believed these things, Schweitzer observes (e.g. 1 Thessalonians 4), and Schweitzer concludes that Christians of the first-century theology literally believed in the imminent fulfilment of Jesus's promise.

Schweitzer writes that the many modern versions of Christianity deliberately ignore the urgency of the message that Jesus proclaimed. Each new generation hopes to be the one to see the world destroyed, another world coming, and the saints governing a new earth. Schweitzer thus concludes that the First Century theology, originating in the lifetimes of those who first followed Jesus, is both incompatible and very different from those beliefs later made official by various councils of the Church.

Schweitzer established his reputation further as a New Testament scholar with other theological studies including The Psychiatric Study of Jesus (1913, medical degree dissertation; criticism of works challenging Jesus' mental health) and his two studies of the apostle Paul, Paul and his Interpreters, and the more complete The Mysticism of Paul the Apostle (1930). This examined the eschatological beliefs of Paul and (through this) the message of the New Testament.

Expanded second edition

The Christ Myth was first published in 1909 by Arthur Drews on the Christ myth theory and the denial of the existence of a historical Jesus.
To discuss Drews's thesis, Schweitzer added two new chapters in the 1913 second edition of his work, The Quest of the Historical Jesus. (Geschichte der Leben-Jesu-Forschung, 2. Auflage, 1913)
Ch. 22, (p. 451–499), "The New Denial of the Historicity of Jesus" (Die Neueste Bestreitung der Geschichtlichkeit Jesu) analyzes Drews's thesis, plus eight writers in support of Drews's thesis about the non-existence of Jesus: J. M. Robertson, Peter Jensen, Andrzej Niemojewski, Christian Paul Fuhrmann, W.B. Smith, Thomas Whittaker, G.J.P.J. Bolland, Samuel Lublinski. Three of them favor mythic-astral explanations.
Ch. 23 (p. 500–560), "The Debate About the Historicity of Jesus" (Die Diskussion über die Geschichtlichkeit Jesu), reviews the publications of 40 theologians/scholars in response to Drews, and mentions the participants in the Feb. 1910 public debate. Most of the publications are critical and negative. Schweitzer continues his systematic exposure of the problems and difficulties in the theories of the Bestreiter ("challengers') and Verneiner ("deniers") — the Dutch Radicals, J. M. Robertson, W. B. Smith and Drews – and the authenticity of Paul's epistles and Paul's historicity as well.

An examination of the claims for and against the historicity of Jesus thus reveals that the difficulties faced by those undertaking to prove that he is not historical, in the fields both of the history of religion and the history of doctrine, and not least in the interpretation of the earliest tradition are far more numerous and profound than those which face their opponents. Seen in their totality, they must be considered as having no possible solution. Added to this, all hypotheses which have so far been put forward to the effect that Jesus never lived are in the strangest opposition to each other, both in their method of working and their interpretation of the Gospel reports, and thus merely cancel each other out. Hence we must conclude that the supposition that Jesus did exist is exceedingly likely, whereas its converse is exceedingly unlikely. This does not mean that the latter will not be proposed again from time to time, just as the romantic view of the life of Jesus is also destined for immortality. It is even able to dress itself up with certain scholarly technique, and with a little skillful manipulation can have much influence on the mass of people. But as soon as it does more than engage in noisy polemics with 'theology' and hazards an attempt to produce real evidence, it immediately reveals itself to be an implausible hypothesis. (pp. 435–436)

Influence
This book established Schweitzer's reputation. Its publication effectively stopped for decades work on the Historical Jesus as a sub-discipline of New Testament studies. This work resumed however with the development of the so-called "Second Quest", among whose notable exponents were Rudolf Bultmann's students Ernst Käsemann and Gunther Bornkamm, his successor as professor of New Testament Studies at the University of Heidelberg, who wrote that the Gospels “bring before our eyes…the historical person of Jesus with the utmost vividness.”  Richard Webster writes that the messianic fantasies associated with the story of the crucifixion in the Gospels are perhaps still best understood by way of The Quest of the Historical Jesus.
