History

KITN

Donald F. Whitman filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 11, 1955, to build a new daytime-only radio station in Olympia. He originally sought 800 kHz before amending his application to specify the frequency of 1440 kHz. The construction permit was granted on January 25, 1956, and the station began broadcasting that October as KITN.

Until 1961, Harold C. Singleton, an engineer from Portland, Oregon, owned stakes in KITN and KITI, another station owned by Whitman in Centralia/Chehalis. KITN upgraded from 500 watts on 1440 kHz to 1,000 watts on 920 kHz, still a daytime-only station, in 1959. The original KITN studios were at 610 Columbia Street; in 1967, the station relocated to the Capitol Center Building.

In 1975, KITN moved its studios from the Capitol Center Building to Lacey. The move was necessitated by plans, which were quickly dropped, to reuse the building as a county courthouse; despite the changes, Thurston County taxpayers still paid more than $17,000 in moving expenses. A change in FCC policy emphasizing coverage of a number of stations for cities of a given size enabled KITN to go from a daytime-only to a full-time station in 1977, with a second tower erected to create a directional pattern protecting a station in Spokane.

National Communications ownership
In August 1981, after a quarter-century, Whitman sold KITN to Space Center, Inc., through its affiliate National Communications. The new owners took over that October, and on January 18, the KITN call letters departed Olympia. A day of silence preceded the relaunch of what was billed as a "new" station, KQEU "KQ-92"; KITN's easy listening music made way for a more upbeat adult contemporary format. The revamped KQEU gave KGY, which had been on the air since 1922, credible competition with a "big city" sound. AM stereo broadcasts were added in 1985.

The "KQ-92" moniker stayed until 1992, when the station rebranded as "The Capital" and beefed up its local and national news programming; the call sign was changed the next year to KCPL. However, a lawsuit lost by National forced the station to dismantle one of its two towers, causing its power to be reduced from 5,000 to 500 watts during the day and just 8.5 watts at night. The power reduction limited the station's broadcast range significantly, which became a liability when National's corporate parent, the SpaceCom Group, went on the market in 1993 with all six of its radio stations. With no buyers, National took the station silent on August 31, 1995.

Spencer Broadcasting and Second Amendment Foundation ownership
Despite closing KCPL for lack of a buyer, National found one months later. In January 1996, it reached an agreement to sell the silent KCPL to Spencer Broadcasting for just $35,000. It returned to the air later that year with an oldies format and the call sign KGHO. Both were ditched for several months in April 1999 when the station was leased by KAYO-FM 99.3, a country music station in Aberdeen, and began simulcasting it.

The Second Amendment Foundation, headed by Alan Gottlieb and owner of KITZ in Silverdale, acquired KGHO in 2004 from Spencer and changed the format to talk radio as KGTK, with some programs being shared with KITZ.

Torsten Thure Renvall (23 October 1817 – 16 October 1898) was the Archbishop of Turku, and the spiritual head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland between 1884 and 1898.

Biography
Renvall was born on October 23, 1817, in Turku, the son of Henrik Renvall and Agneta Cornelia Cairenius. He graduated with a Bachelor of Philosophy in 1840 and as a Docent in History in 1845. He taught history in Vaasa high school from 1845 to 1851 and then at Turku high school from 1852 till 1858. Between 1846 and 1847 he contributed to the Vasabladet and founded the Ilmarinen magazine in Finnish between 1848 and 1850. He was ordained a priest in 1857. Among others, Renvall participated in the reform of the Church Act and was a member of the January Committee of 1862. He received the Doctor of Theology in 1864. He served as Dean of Turku between 1858 and 1884.

In 1884 he was appointed Archbishop of Turku. However, due to the fact that all the Finnish bishops had died there was no available bishop to consecrate Renvall. As Finland was then an autonomous Grand Duchy under Russian rule, it was politically impossible to obtain a foreign bishop for consecrations. Hence, the oldest theological professor, Axel Fredrik Granfelt, was commissioned to consecrate the new archbishop.  This in turn broke the apostolic succession which was brought into the Finnish Church by its mother church, the Church of Sweden. The apostolic succession was reinstated in the Finnish church in 1934 through the consecration of Aleksi Lehtonen who was co-consecrated by the Archbishop of Uppsala Erling Eidem.

Renvall's married Emilia Maria Lovisa Bergenstråle, in 1843 and secondly in 1865 to Amanda Sofia Limnell.

USNS Guam (T-HST-1), formerly Hawaii Superferry's Huakai, is a United States Navy high-speed transport vessel. The ship was completed in September 2008 and was intended to start Hawaiian service in May 2009, though delivery postponements saw that planned service canceled. In the Hawaiian language, huakai means "journey".

The design of the  is 70 percent in common with the Hawaii Superferries, both built by Austal USA.

Vessel

USNS Guam was built as Huakai, whose name is based on the Hawaiian language word huakai, which means "journey". The vessel is a  long high-speed roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) passenger ship. The vessel was originally built for Hawaii Superferry, and has a capacity of 866 passengers and up to 282 subcompact cars. It is  longer than its sister ship, , due to a bi-fold ramp installed on the stern of the ship.

The vessel featured environmentally friendly technologies including non-toxic bottom paint, zero wastewater discharge and clean diesel engines.

Austal USA, a subsidiary of Austal, an Australian company that is the world's largest builder of fast ferries, built Huakai. Construction on Huakai began in 2007 in Mobile, Alabama. The ship was intended to enter service in 2009, but due to the abrupt shut down of Hawaii Superferry, the ship was laid up. Alakai also returned to the Alabama ship yard. On July 2, 2009, Hawaii Superferry decided to abandon Huakai and Alakai.

Service history

In January 2010, the United States Maritime Administration announced that Huakai and Alakai would be used to assist with relief in the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

On September 13, 2010, Huakai and Alakai were auctioned off, for $25 million each, by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. They were purchased by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration.

On January 27, 2012, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration transferred two high speed vessels, Huakai and Alakai, to the U.S. Navy under the Defense Authorization Act of 2012. The Navy had planned to use the vessels to transport troops and equipment to training areas from Okinawa and other locations, helping the Navy meet these unique operational requirements without the need to build new vessels.

In May 2012, The Navy has announced that both Alakai and Huakai have been renamed. Alakai was renamed  and Huakai became Guam. Guam was modified to replace the chartered  in Okinawa in March 2013, and Puerto Rico remained laid up until 2016.

This is a list of Members of the Parliament of Australia who have represented more than one state or territory during their federal parliamentary career.

Most people in the list represented different states or territories in the House of Representatives.  Nobody has ever represented different states or territories in the Senate, although various attempts have been made. Only one person, Barnaby Joyce, has ever represented one state in the Senate and a different state in the House of Representatives.

The first person to represent a second state was Billy Hughes.  He had represented New South Wales since 1901, and was elected to a Victorian seat on 5 May 1917.  On 16 December 1922 he was again elected to a NSW seat, the only person to return to his original state.  Hughes is also the only person in this list whose parliamentary service was continuous.

The only person who represented both a state and a territory was Lewis Nott (Queensland 1925–28; Australian Capital Territory 1949–51).

All states and territories except South Australia and the Northern Territory are represented in the list.

Eileen Dietz is an American actress who is best known for her appearances in many horror films such as the face of the demon in The Exorcist and for her portrayal of characters on the soap operas Guiding Light and General Hospital.

Early life and career
As a child, Dietz appeared in commercials with her twin sister Marianne DeFossey, and beginning at the age of 12 she started studying acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse. She made her television debut in 1963 in a small guest role on The Doctors. Shortly thereafter she landed a recurring role on the soap opera Love of Life. She made her film debut starring in the 1966 movie Teenage Gang Debs as Ellie. The following year she portrayed Penny Wohl in the critically acclaimed independent film David Holzman's Diary. The film never got much in the way of theatrical distribution despite having Dietz's nude scene featured in Life Magazine's photo spread and in the book of the film. She did not recall if she auditioned for the role of Penny but she added, "it was a fun shoot."

Dietz spent much of the late 1960s and early 1970s appearing in theatre productions. She notably appeared Off-Broadway as the Young Girl in the premiere of Bruce Jay Friedman's Steambath at the Truck and Warehouse Theater in 1970. In 1972, she portrayed an androgynous runaway in the premiere of Joyce Carol Oates' Ontological Proof of My Existence. Her portrayal in the play led to an invitation to do a screen test for The Exorcist. She was cast in two memorable roles in the film: Pazuzu the demon (better known as the face of death), and the 'possessed Regan' (the Linda Blair character). She performed in scenes that were too violent or disturbing for Blair to perform, including the crucifix scene and the fistfight with Father Karras.  She recalled that director William Friedkin gave her no notes and said, "I wasn't playing a little girl, I was playing the demon that possessed a little girl." Blair, who recalls Friedkin telling her the film would not succeed if she was not in as many shots as possible, estimates that Dietz is in 17 seconds of the film. Dietz, angry that her contribution to the film had been minimized, claimed in the media to have performed all the possession scenes. Warners ultimately measured her screen presence at 28.25 seconds, but denied that her contribution was dramatically significant.

After The Exorcist, Dietz had a highly active career on television during the 1970s, appearing as a guest star on such shows as Planet of the Apes, Korg: 70,000 B.C., Barnaby Jones, and Happy Days among others. She also portrayed the recurring role of Linette Waterman in the soap opera The Guiding Light and appeared in the films You Light Up My Life (1977) and Parts: The Clonus Horror (1979).

In 1980, Dietz joined the cast of General Hospital as Sarah Abbott, a role she played for several years. She also appeared as a guest star on Trapper John, M.D. (1982) and in the horror film Freeway Maniac (1989). More recent film credits include Naked in the Cold Sun (1997), Hurricane Festival (1997), Bad Guys (2000), Exorcism (2003), The Mojo Cafe (2004), Neighborhood Watch (2005), Constantine (2005), Karla (2006), Creepshow III (2006), Dog Lover's Symphony (2006), and Tracing Cowboys (2008).

Dietz appeared as Winnie Gilmore in Halloween II (2009) in an uncredited role.

Dietz was cast in the thriller Eden Falls, co-written by Victor Miller, creator of Friday the 13th, and then slated for a 2017 release. However, , the project was still in development.

Personal life
Dietz has been married to Thomas Albany since March 1984.

Merry Christmas from the Brady Bunch is the debut studio album by American pop group the Brady Bunch. It was released on November 2, 1970, by Paramount Records. As its title suggests, the album consists of Christmas standards performed by the children who played the kids on the ABC sitcom The Brady Bunch.

The album was reissued in 1995 by MCA Records under the title Christmas with the Brady Bunch.

Critical reception
Billboard published a review in the November 14, 1970 issue that said: "With the success of their TV show assured, the Brady Bunch makes their recording debut with a first rate collection of Christmas carols and songs. Their bright and appealing performance of "Jingle Bells", "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town", and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" are complemented by warm readings of "The Little Drummer Boy", "Silent Night", and "The First Noel". Should prove a solid sales item for this holiday season".

The University of Utah Research Park, also known as Bionic Valley, is located on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, United States. The facility has helped create many businesses based on the work of university scientists over the years. Research Park now houses more than forty companies alongside sixty-nine academic departments and employs more than 7,500 people. The annual in-state productivity of park residents exceeds $550 million.

History
In 1968, the Utah state legislature allocated 320 acres along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to develop a research park. Research Park was intended to stimulate economic development within the State of Utah and encourage students who graduate from the University of Utah to stay in Salt Lake City by providing research jobs.

In 1982, when the successful implantation of the Jarvik 7 artificial heart attracted international headlines, artificial organ and medical device research and development at the University of Utah led Science Digest and the New York Times to nickname Salt Lake City the "Bionic Valley": "the epicenter of a bioengineering effort that promises to shake up the entire health-care system."

Muhammad Ayyub Thakur (1948 – 10 March 2004) was a political activist and founder of London-based World Kashmir Freedom Movement (WKFM). He also founded a charity organization called 'Mercy Universal'. In 2011, according to a report by The Telegraph, It was a front group for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).  After investigatation by the British Charity Commission, Scotland Yard and the FBI, it was stated that his organization had direct contacts with Hizbul Mujahideen, an EU-Sanctioned insurgent organization.

In 2001, Indian Government had booked him under  Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act for providing financing & logistical support to terrorists.

His son Muzammil Ayub Thakur is an active representative member of the UK based NGO

Early life
Thakur was born in 1948 in a farming family in Pudsoo village near Shopian, district Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir. He was the eldest of four children.
Thakur obtained his Doctorate (Phd.) in Nuclear Physics from the University of Kashmir.

Career

In 1978, after a brief stint at the Bhaba Atomic Research Centre (Zakoora, Srinagar), he became  lecturer in the Department of Physics in the University of Kashmir. He had a keen interest in the social and political issues of Jammu and Kashmir.

After becoming lecturer at the University of Kashmir he intensified his subversive political activities. He began organising protests. In August 1980, he and many of his colleagues at university and students organisation, Islami Jamiat-i-Talaba, organised an international conference on the issue of right of self-determination of Kashmiris. the government banned the conference, dismissed Thakur from his job as a university lecturer, and later imprisoned him along with his colleagues under Public Safety Act (PSA).

In 1981, Thakur joined the Nuclear Engineering Department of King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia as a lecturer.

World Kashmir Freedom Movement
WKFM, along with other two organisations founded by Thakur were investigated by Scotland Yard, the Charity Commission and FBI for ties to the Pakistan Military and Militant groups active in Jammu and Kashmir. The FBI implicated the ISI for funding both of these organizations in London and Brussels.

Impounding of Indian Passport and demand for extradition
Upon the revelation of his ties to militant groups, Indian government twice sought his extradition from the UK in 1992 and 1993. After its failure, they finally impounded his passport in 1993. Thakur subsequently obtained British travel papers which he used until his death in 2004.

During the visit of British Home Secretary Jack Straw to India in May 2002, Indian Deputy Prime Minister, LK Advani again demanded extradition of thakur citing  him being accused of providing funds to the terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. Advani also demanded the arrest of Thakur under the UK's New anti-terrorist laws.

Family Members Allegedly Harassed
Ayub regularly claimed that his family members, relatives and friends were subjected to house raids, torture and harassment by the Indian army [citation needed]. He often claimed that his ancestral home in Kashmir was raided many a time and his parents threatened.

Death
Thakur died at the age of 55, in London on 10 March 2004 after an illness. He was suffering from pulmonary fibrosis. His funeral was held at the London Central Mosque, Regent Park, and he was laid to rest at the Garden of Peace, in Greenford, West London, close to where he had been living for many years. The Indian Government, having stripped him of his citizenship in 1993, dismissed a request by his family that he be buried in Jammu and Kashmir. He is survived by his wife, a son and two daughters.

The Third Convention was a dissident group of Mexican Latter-day Saints (Mormons) who broke away from the main body of church authority in 1936 over a dispute about local governance and autonomy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico.

Origin
A contributing cause of the dissension may have been the Cristero War of 1926–1929, a counter-revolutionary movement against certain anti-clerical provisions of the 1917 Mexican Constitution.  These provisions had expelled foreign clergy from Mexico, resulting in isolation of Mexican Mormons from their church's headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.

As a result, a group of Mexican Mormons led by Abel Páez, first counselor of the Mexican district presidency, demanded that church leadership appoint a Mexican mission president "of pure race and blood" (de pura raza y sangre).  After three rebuffs, a breakaway faction of the Mexican mission district organized what came to be known as the Third Convention, separate from and without authority from church leadership in the United States.  These "Third Conventionists" (as they were known) conducted missionary activity in some small mountain villages in central Mexico.

Outcome
Several members of the Third Convention were temporarily excommunicated by the LDS Church during the period in which it was active, although most of these were changed to the lesser punishment of disfellowshipment by President George Albert Smith in 1946, signaling a compromise.  Rapprochement continued with President Smith's visit to Mexico that year, resulting in most Third Conventionists returning to the fellowship of the LDS Church.

Current status
Though scholars had believed the Third Convention movement had died out by the 1970s and '80s, anthropologist Thomas W. Murphy located an active Third Conventionist community in Ozumba, Mexico in 1996. The group was situated in Colonia Industrial, founded in 1947 as the community of Margarito Bautista, a prominent Third Conventionist. As of 2011, there are 800 people living in Colonia Industrial, and all are members of a church officially named El Reino de Dios en su Plenitud (The Kingdom of God in its Fullness), though adherents preferred to call themselves "Mormons."  The group practiced plural marriage and communal principles of the law of consecration, and seemed to be moderately affluent. They were affiliated with the Apostolic United Brethren Mormon fundamentalist church, and saw Owen Allred as a prophet.

Another Third Conventionist group about 300 strong, also rediscovered by Murphy in 1997, exists in San Gabriel Ometotztla, Puebla. It is called La Iglesia de los Santos de la Plenitud de los Tiempos (The Church of Jesus Christ of the Saints of the Fullness of Times).

Patrick Hartnett (17 May 1910 – 1 July 1990) was an Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1930s.

Hartnett came to St Kilda from North Launceston in Tasmania after winning that club's best all-round player award, and then returned to North after just one VFL season. He then played with Cananore before trying again at St Kilda in 1934. His second stint was more successful and he polled in St Kilda's top three at each of the 1934, 1935 and 1937 Brownlow Medal counts. Hartnett represented the VFL in 1935 and kicked six goals in an interstate match against South Australia, to go with the 22 goals he kicked for St Kilda that year.

He finished his career playing for Brighton in the VFA and won the 1939 Recorder Cup.

In 2005 Hartnett was inducted into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame.

Victor Albert Ernest Joseph Barwick (17 June 1879 – 20 December 1963) was an Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Football
Barwick began his early football career in the Tasmanian town of Queenstown and was noticed for the quality of his play in 1900 in a match against the visiting Fitzroy team from Victoria. Within a few years he ventured to the mainland and in 1903 joined St Kilda. He made his debut in the round six match versus Melbourne.

A strongly built rover, he was good enough to represent the VFL against Western Australia in 1904 and topped St Kilda's goal-kicking in 1909 with 16 goals. Barwick also was club captain for both the 1905 and 1909 seasons. Although he would return to St Kilda briefly in 1913, Barwick finished his career at Brighton in the Victorian Football Association.

He was one of the earlier Tasmanian players to have made a mark in the Victorian Football League and in 2005 he was inducted into his state's Football Hall of Fame.

John G. "Jay" McKnight (February 11, 1931 - November 5, 2022) was an American businessman and engineer who was the co-founder of the Magnetic Reference Laboratory, where he was engineering vice-president from 1972 to 1975 and was the president since 1975. He also developed new products and directed engineering at MRL.

Early life and education
McKnight was born in Seattle, Washington. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1952.

Career
McKnight worked for Ampex from 1952 through 1972. From 1953 to 1956, McKnight served in the United States Army as a part of the American Forces Network in New York City, where he also worked at the Gotham Recording studio.

At Ampex, he worked in the magnetic recording research group, the stereo tape division, and the professional audio division. In addition to research, he also worked on the design of the CinemaScope reproducer system; the Models 350, PR-10, and MR-70; improvements in the high-speed duplication system and operating procedures at the Ampex Music (Stereo Tape) Division; and he developed the "Ampex Master Equalization" (AME). He has published more than 70 technical papers, mostly in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), on the theory and practice of magnetic recording, and on audio engineering. He received the Audio Engineering Society's Publication Award in 1982.

From 1972 to 1974, he also was a consultant to Scully/Metrotech in Mountain View, California, and to MCI in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on audio systems and magnetic recording.

Les Paul

When Les Paul got the Ampex eight-track machine, he realized that he would need a custom built console to work with the new multitrack recorder. He hired Rein Narma (chief engineer at Fairchild Recording Equipment) to do the job. McKnight had worked with Narma at Gotham Audio in New York and wound up helping with some of the design and layout, as well as installation.

Nixon tapes

In 1973 and 1974 he was a member of Judge John Sirica's "Advisory Panel on White House Tapes". As a part of his testimony,

The first purpose, I recall, was to try to make the tapes that they found more understandable. But before very long they found out that there was an 18-minute gap in one of the tapes, and that's what the panel focused on. What we were able to do was verify which machines had made the recordings and which had been used to erase the recordings. The recordings were made on a Sony Model 800B, a little consumer kind of machine... it ran 15/16ths inches per second, and Nixon's staff had attached a sound-activated start and stop feature. And the Secret Service came through every evening and put new roll of tape on it if it had run out of tape. The machine that was used in the erasure was an Uher 5000, a commonly used German dictation recorder. What we could establish was that you can hear the clicks where the machine's been put in and out of recording mode. And we could establish that the clicks were in fact from going in and out of recording. We could say that the likelihood that it was done accidentally was incredibly remote. The erasing machine was put in and out of recording mode six times, so judge for yourself how likely that was to have been accidental.

Personal life
Jay and his wife Brigitte have four adult sons.

The Canadian League of Composers is an organization formed in 1951 of Canadian composers primarily interested in raising awareness and acceptance of Canadian music. Its activities are overseen and directed by an executive, and by a National Council, a 12-member elected board that aims to equally represent all regions of Canada. The league is funded by the SOCAN Foundation, annual member dues, and public donations.

Formation
In 1951, John Weinzweig met with fellow composers Harry Somers and Samuel Dolin to discuss the status of professional composers in Canada. They wished to raise awareness and acceptance of Canadian music, to be listened to and taken seriously. They contacted around a dozen other Canadian composers who shared their desires, and within a year had acquired a federal charter as the Canadian League of Composers (CLC), of which Weinzweig was the first president. Though the original members were all from within Weinzweig's circle, the idea of the CLC was to bring composers together to work for a common cause, not to achieve a uniform national style. This mindset was much like that of the Group of Seven, 30 years earlier in Canadian art. After several decades, national membership had grown to around 300 people and continued to grow steadily throughout the century.

Endeavors
The first project the League undertook was to sponsor public concerts featuring new Canadian compositions. They featured many different kinds of repertoire, including orchestral works, chamber music and opera, but lacked the support of many established performing groups. Despite this, about 30 concerts of exclusively Canadian music occurred between 1951 and 1960. The first, on May 16, 1951, was a program of entirely Weinzweig's music. It was jointly held with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) of Toronto, and received a favourable review by the art critic for The Globe and Mail.

The league next took on the task of editing an anthology of new piano repertoire. A small library was created of scores by many members, for the use of interested conductors and performers.

In 1960 the CLC organized the International Conference of Composers as part of the Stratford Music Festival. It drew composers from 30 countries, including Krenek, Varèse and Berio.

Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. has initiated an online musical instrument insurance program for members of various Canadian music associations, including the CLC.

Sukuma is a Bantu language of Tanzania, spoken in an area southeast of Lake Victoria between Mwanza, Shinyanga, and Lake Eyasi.

Its orthography uses Roman script without special letters, which resembles that used for Swahili, and has been used for Bible translations and in religious literature.

Dialects (KɪmunaSukuma in the west, GɪmunaNtuzu/GɪnaNtuzu in the northeast, and Jìnàkɪ̀ɪ̀yâ/JimunaKɪɪyâ in the southeast) are easily mutually intelligible.

Phonology

There are seven vowel qualities, which occur long and short:

, which are written , may be closer to , and  may be closer to .

Sukuma has gone through Dahl's Law (ɪdàtʊ́ 'three', from Proto-Bantu -tatʊ) and has voiceless nasal consonants.

It is not clear whether  should better be considered as stops or affricates as  or whether they are even palatal.

Syllables are V or CV. There are four tones on short vowels: high, low, rising, and falling.

Grammar
The following description is based on the JinaKɪɪya dialect. One of the characteristics of that dialect is that the noun-class prefixes subject to Dahl's Law  have been levelled to voiced consonants and so they no longer alternate.

Noun concord
Sukuma noun-class prefixes are augmented by pre-prefixes a-, ɪ-, ʊ-, which are dropped in certain constructions. The noun classes and the agreement that they trigger are as follows,   with attested forms in other dialects being added in parentheses:

(For compatibility,  is transcribed .)

Many kin terms have a reduced form of the nominal prefixes, zero and βa-, called class 1a/2a, as in  'mother',  'mothers'. Concord is identical with other class-1/2 nouns.

Singular/plural pairs are 1/2, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, and 12/13, and locative classes 16, 17, and 18 do not have plurals. Most others use class 6 for their plurals: 11/6, 14/6, 15/6, and also sometimes 7/6 and 12/6. There are also nouns that inflect as 11/4, 11/14, 14/10, and 15/8.

Verbal complex
Infinitive verbs have the form gʊ-object-ext-ROOT-ext-V-locative, where ext stands for any of various grammatical 'extensions', and -V is the final vowel. For example, with roots in bold and tone omitted,

gũ-n-tĩn-ĩl-a
'To cut for him/her'
gwĩ-tĩn-ĩl-a
'To cut for each other'
-ĩl is the applicative suffix, translated as 'for'. The reciprocal prefix ĩ has fused into the infinitive gũ.
gũ-fum-a-mo
'To get out there'
-mo is a locative 'inside', as in class 18 nominal concord.

Finite verbs have the form subject-TAM-ext-object-ROOT-ext-TAM-V. For example,
βa-lĩ-n-iiš-a
'They are feeding him/her'
The root iiš includes a fused causative suffix. Tense is marked by a prefix. The subject marker βa- shows that the subject is human plural, per the noun-concord table above.

o-dũ-saang-ile
'He found us'
Here tense is marked by a suffix.

βa-gĩ-gunaan-a
'They helped each other/themselves'
Here the prefix is fused tense and reciprocal ĩ.

Language identity

It is reported that although Sukuma is very similar to Nyamwezi, speakers themselves do not accept that they make up a single language.

Northeast Bantu languages
Languages of Tanzania


Nyamwezi is a major Bantu language of central Tanzania. It forms a dialect continuum with Sukuma, but is more distinct from it.

Konongo and Ruwila are sometimes considered dialects.

Phonology

Consonants

 Prenasalized voiceless stops [ᵐp ⁿt] may also frequently occur, as a result of loan words.
 Nasal sounds /m ŋ/ may also occur as labialized [mʷ ŋʷ].

Vowels

Tones
Tones present in Nyamwezi are high /v́/, low /v̀/, and rising /v̌/.

Sample text

Banhu bose bubyalagwa biyagalulile, n'ikujo haki zilenganelile. Banhu bose bina masala na wiganiki, hu kuyomba ihayilwe bitogwe giti bana ba mbyazi bumo.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

The Northeast Bantu languages are a group of Bantu languages spoken in East Africa. In Guthrie's geographic classification, they fall within Bantu zones E50 plus E46 (Sonjo), E60 plus E74a (Taita), F21–22, J, G60, plus Northeast Coast Bantu (of zones E & G). Some of these languages (F21, most of E50, and some of J) share a phonological innovation called Dahl's law that is unlikely to be borrowed as a productive process, though individual words reflecting Dahl's law have been borrowed into neighboring languages.

The languages, or clusters, are:

Kikuyu–Kamba  Thagiicu (primarily E50):
Sonjo (E40)
Cuka
Meru (incl. Tharaka, Mwimbi-Muthambi)

The Coachman Rat is an alternative account of the classic fairy tale Cinderella. It was published in 1989 and written by children's author David Henry Wilson.

Plot
The narrative follows the life of Robert, the rat that was transformed into the coachman on that fateful night when Amadea (Cinderella) fell in love with Prince Charming.  The majority of the novel is an account of the aftermath of that night, as Robert was transformed back into a rat at midnight of that night—yet retained the ability to speak; he then began a quest to find Mara, the "woman of light" (or Fairy Godmother) in order to become permanently human.

Critical reaction
Kirkus called it "clever" and "well-handled" but "obvious".  Pauline Morgan (for the Science Fiction Research Association Newsletter) found it "an allegory for the twentieth century" with the talking rat a curiosity and an outcast.  It was also reviewed by Library Journal, which found it a "highly recommended" but somber portrait of "Europe on the verge of the Enlightenment", and by Locus.

She traveled to Memphis Tennessee to guest-lecture and teach at Rhodes College (then Southwestern) during the 1962–1963 school year. In 1980, she was appointed professor of developmental psychology. Her main research interest has always been in the study of human thought and language. At Edinburgh, Professor Donaldson oversaw the development of research in developmental psychology and psycholinguistics.

At an early stage in her career, she spent some time at Jean Piaget's research institute in Geneva, and was much influenced by that experience, though she later came to question some important aspects of Piagetian theory. She spent a year in the United States as the holder of a John Hay Whitney Fellowship, and has also worked there with Jerome Bruner on curriculum development projects.

Donaldson authored A Study of Children's Thinking and Children's Minds. Along with Robert Grieve and Chris Pratt, she edited a book of readings entitled Early Childhood Development and Education. Jerome Bruner described Donaldson's Children's Minds as "One of the most powerful, most wisely balanced and best informed books on the development of the child's mind to have appeared in twenty years. Its implications for education are enormous."

The River Sence is a Leicestershire (England) tributary of the larger River Soar. The River Sence can be traced eastwards up to the village of Billesdon, and then flows south west through Great Glen, Leicestershire, and then west (south of Wigston and South Wigston) until the confluence with the River Soar just to the west of Blaby. Tracing the River Sence upstream, the Environment Agency does monitor the river between Blaby and Great Glen, but there has been no significant flooding in recent years, and the land along the River Sence is largely agricultural. In 1881 Sebastian Evans wrote that the usual names for this river were Billesdon Brook and Burton Brook.

The river flows past South Wigston at a point known locally as Crow Mills. After heavy rain the river level here rises quickly. It floods neighbouring fields and then flows across the road causing the road to become impassable to traffic. After prolonged rain the river floods large areas of farm land along its course. At village of Blaby it floods across the cricket pitch and also it can flood across the Leicester Road under the Leicester to Birmingham railway bridge. This can cause significant disruption to local traffic.
Over recent years the maintenance on the river appears to have been reduced. It can often be seen choked with weeds and other vegetation.

The flooding of the Soar Valley

As a tributary of the River Soar, The River Sence in the Blaby and Wigston area suffers from persistent flooding.

In the mid 1800s, the railway viaduct at Crow Mill was swept away in a storm and subsequent floods. The destroyed wooden structure was replaced by a steel and brick construction to restore the main railway line. However, in the 1960s it was dismantled when the line was closed as part of the branch line cuts proposed by Dr Beeching.

The road at Crow Mill still suffers closures through flooding, as does the road between Blaby (Northfield Park) and Glen Parva, due to the River Sence bursting its banks.

The so-called Apocalypse of Samuel of Kalamoun is a Coptic text of uncertain date and authorship now preserved only in its Arabic translation. It contains the strongest denunciation of the language shift in the Middle Ages of Egypt, by which Coptic was replaced by Arabic. It records that the Christians in Egypt, or at least those of the author's world; since the arabization of lower Egypt preceded that of Upper Egypt as mentioned by Ibn Hawqal in the late 10th century, were becoming increasingly Arabized in culture and customs, although actual conversion to Islam does not seem to be a concern.

The date of the text depends on the interpretation of the list of "predicted" Arab kings which it contains. These seem to be the Fatimid caliphs, and the work should therefore be dated to the crusader period. However it has been dated as early as the 8th century. The author of the work is supposedly the 7th century monk Samuel of Kalamoun.

The text is edited with a French translation in an unsatisfactory edition by J. Ziadeh.

The Great Lakes Bantu languages, also known as Lacustrine Bantu and Bantu zone J, are a group of Bantu languages of East Africa. They were recognized as a group by the Tervuren team, who posited them as an additional zone (zone J) to Guthrie's largely geographic classification of Bantu.

History
By 500BC, proto-Great Lakes Bantu speakers initially settled between Lakes Kivu and Rweru in Rwanda, before rapidly spreading as far east as Kenya.

Languages
The languages are, according to Bastin, Coupez, & Mann (1999), with Sumbwa added per Nurse (2003):

Gungu (E10)
Bwari (Kabwari) (D50)
Konzo (D40): Konjo, Nande, ? Kobo
Shi–Havu (D50): Hunde, Havu, Shi, Tembo, Nyindu, Fuliiru
Rwanda-Rundi (D60): Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Shubi, Hangaza, Ha, Vinza
Nyoro–Ganda (E10): Ganda, Nyankore, Nyoro, Tooro, Hema, Chiga, Soga, Gwere, West Nyala, Ruli
(See also Rutara languages, Runyakitara language, Nkore-Kiga)
Haya–Jita (E20): Haya–Rashi, Talinga-Bwisi, Zinza, Kerebe (Kerewe), Jita–Kara–Kwaya–Ruri, Nyambo, Subi
Masaba–Luhya (E30): Masaba (incl. Bukusu), Luhya proper, Nyore (or Nyole in Kenya), Nyole (or Olunyole in Uganda), Samia–Songa, Marachi, Khayo
Logooli–Kuria (E40): Logooli (Luhya), Ngurimi, Ikizu–Sizaki/Shashi, Suba, Suba-Simbiti, Kabwa, Singa, Idaxo-Isuxa-Tiriki (Luhya), Gusii (Kisii), Kuria (Simbiti, Hacha, Surwa, Sweta), Zanaki, Ikoma, ?Ware
Sumbwa (F20)
The codes in parentheses are Guthrie's original geographic classification.

Maho (2009) adds Yaka. Kobo was recognized later. It's said to be about equidistant between Nande and Hunde, so it's not clear where it should be in the tree above.

Glottolog (2022) separates Nyole in Uganda (and its dialects: Hadyo or Luhadyo, Menya, Sabi or Lusabi, and Wesa or Luwesa) from the E30 group (Masaba-Luhya) into an unclassified subgroup within a "Greater Luyia" group containing the Logoo-Kuria (E40) group. Beside this, it does not consider this older geographic classification relevant for its ongoing classification based on more recent linguistic studies, and uses four different subgroups (Greater Luhya, West Nyanza, East Nyanza, and Western Lakes Bantu), keeping Gungu (E10) separate from them.

Notes


Tom Morgan (14 November 1866 – 22 March 1899) was a Welsh international rugby union centre who played club rugby for Llanelli and international rugby for Wales. Morgan was a collier by profession.

Rugby career
Although Morgan had little international success in rugby, he is more notable for being part of the Llanelli squad that hosted the touring New Zealand Natives on 19 December 1888. This was the first ever match played in Wales by a touring Southern Hemisphere team, and the Māori team had just come from wins over Broughton Rangers and Wigan. The match was decided by a single dropped goal, scored by Llanelli's Harry Bowen from near the halfway line, which Morgan had set up after he forced the New Zealanders to minor when his kick passed their line.

Morgan was one of a small group of players from Llanelli Rugby Club, who gained international caps in the late 1880s, but played little more than a handful of games. Morgan played just a single game for his country, a home match at St. Helen's in Swansea, against Ireland as part of the 1889 Home Nations Championship. Among the Welsh team on that day were four Llanelli players, though none had been selected for the opening game of the tournament against Scotland. Morgan's club team-mates for that match included Giotto Griffiths, Ned Roberts and Dan Griffiths. This would be the last international game for all four players. Ireland won the game by two tries to nil, both of the scores coming from Irish debuts. Morgan lost his place in the Welsh squad the next season to Penarth's Dickie Garrett, and didn't play for Wales again.

Iztok Mlakar (born 21 June 1961) is a Slovenian singer-songwriter and theatre actor. Styled as the "bard of the Slovenian Littoral", he is best known for his ironic chansons in the Littoral dialect of Slovene. Together with Adi Smolar, Mlakar is among the best-known singer-songwriters in Slovenia since 1990.

He was born in Postojna in western Slovenia (then part of Yugoslavia), and spent his youth in the town of Nova Gorica on the border with Italy. His parents were from Cerkno, and Mlakar composed several songs in the distinctive Cerkno dialect of his parents' native region.

Career
After graduating from the Nova Gorica Grammar School, Mlakar studied acting at the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana, graduating from the drama program in 1986. He pursued a career as an actor in the Slovenian National Theatre of Nova Gorica, where he currently works. He has written many songs for plays, but he is best known as the composer and singer of his own chanson-style songs. In 1993, he received the Ježek Award.

Chansons
Mlakar is best known to the Slovenian public as a singer of songs composed in his local Slovene dialect. His songs are frequently witty and unusual reflections on eternal subjects such as love, passing and death, and also about the joys of life, particularly wine and good food. Always written from the perspective of the little man, they are often bitter comments on the struggle of daily life and the injustice of social and political settings.

His early songs contained many ironic commentaries on daily life in Titoist, Yugoslavia. Mlakar mostly sings about unusual personal stories, which highlight the absurdities and anxieties of the lives of the common people.

Language of the songs
Mlakar does not use standard Slovene in his songs, except in a few cases, when he wants to mark the differences in the social status of the characters of his stories. The majority of his songs are sung in the Karst dialect, which is the most distinctive and widely spoken Slovene dialect in the Slovenian Littoral. It is also spoken in the areas around the town of Nova Gorica, especially Solkan and Šempeter pri Gorici. The language of most of Mlakar's songs is based on the distinctive dialects of these areas, which have been strongly influenced by Italian and Friulian, especially in vocabulary and syntax.

Fewer of his songs are sung in the Inner Carniolan dialect, as it is spoken in the upper Vipava Valley ("Bose noge"), while others (such as "Pubi, usidma se", "Var se, čeča" and "Očenaš") are sung in the Cerkno dialect, which differs considerably from the dialect used in his other songs because it belongs to the different Rovte dialect group.

The vocabulary of most of Mlakar's songs is frequently difficult to understand for speakers from other Slovenian regions. The use of dialect and juicy expressions conveys a sense of familiarity to his songs.

Lyrics
Survival tactics, idiosyncrasies and anxieties of simple people are some of the constant themes of Mlakar's songs, as are joy for life and the seeking of pleasure. The characters of Mlakar's songs present a typical Slovene character. He sings about the simple Slovene man and woman of the 20th and 21st centuries, who are frequently oppressed by big historical events such as the world wars, expansionist policies of large nations, changing political regimes, unstable economic situations and shifts in moral and social customs. The characters of Mlakar's songs cope with these circumstances in different ways: they either stubbornly defy them ("Karlo Špacapan"), frequently becoming silly and pathetic in the process ("Pepi Žbaradorija"), accept them with a sense of poetic fatalism ("Bertolin in Štefana"), or opportunistically try to accommodate to them ("Politik Gvido"). Many of his songs narrate outbursts of anger directed against authority: some of them result in a temporary victory ("Ivo Balila"), some end in compromise ("Pubi usidma se"), while others remain a dream of a distant future egalitarian retaliation ("Puntarska", "Politik Gvido").

Many lyrics are an intelligent ironic comment on acute problems of contemporary Slovenian society, such as alcoholism ("Beštija"), drug abuse ("Marjo Špinel") and suicide ("Briškula"). Some lyrics ridicule the provincial customs of an enriched post-communist society ("Fool cool", "Truckin' rap", "Bogatašev song"). Many of them convey an unusual life philosophy or acquired wisdom ("Credo", "Počasno življenje", "Pismo"). Most of them, however, are about love, sex and the often difficult relations between men and women. These include stories of love and passion bridging ethnic and social divides ("Furlanka", "Valentin", "Var se čeča"); many are ironic songs about romantic deception ("Brika", "Valentinčič Rudi in Pepa Žgabucin") and stories of unfulfilled romantic promises ("Dešpet", "Vandima"). Only a few are traditional ballads of failed love ("En glaž vina mi dej").

Public performances
Mlakar is known for avoiding publicity. He has never performed at a big concert or public event, preferring small and selected audiences. His public performances are rare, and usually there is a very high interest in them, making it hard to get tickets. Such a style of performance usually goes well with the topics of his songs. With good food and wine, the audience gets in a good mood and participates in singing his songs.

Odalis Amadol Pérez (June 11, 1977 – March 10, 2022) was a Dominican professional baseball starting pitcher. He played with the Atlanta Braves (–), the Los Angeles Dodgers (–), the Kansas City Royals (2006–), and the Washington Nationals ().

Personal life

Pérez was a 1995 graduate of Damian David Ortiz High School in his homeland. He had a son, Odalis, Jr. Pérez, participated in community baseball clinics for the Dodgers and the Manny Mota International Foundation and also visited schools in Los Angeles area as part of the Dodger Jams program.

Professional career

Atlanta Braves
Pérez joined the Braves in September 1998, going 0-1. He won a game for the Braves in the 1998 postseason, becoming the first pitcher in MLB history to earn a playoff win without having won a regular season game.

On May 2, 1999, Pérez got his first regular-season victory pitching 5.2 innings and allowing two earned runs with seven strikeouts, as Atlanta rolled to a 5-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

On January 15, 2002, he was traded by the Braves with Andrew Brown (minors) and Brian Jordan to the Dodgers for Gary Sheffield.

Los Angeles Dodgers
In a two-year period from 2002-, he won 27 games (15 in 2002, 12 in 2003), which was tied for the third most wins by a left-handed pitcher in the National League, joining Tom Glavine behind Randy Johnson and Al Leiter, and 10th most in the majors. He was the first Dodger left-hander to register at least 12 wins in consecutive seasons since Fernando Valenzuela accomplished the feat during  (21) and  (14). During the same period, Pérez also had the sixth-most strikeouts  (296) among all major-league lefties, ranking fourth in the National League behind Johnson, Randy Wolf and Leiter.

Also in those two seasons, Pérez allowed two earned runs or less in 33 of his 62 starts, being selected to the All-Star game in 2002 — a season in which he pitched a pair of one-hit games.

A career highlight for Pérez occurred on August 28, 2002, as he defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium with a score of 1–0, during which he pitched 8.0 scoreless innings and slugged his first career home run for the only run of the game. With this victory, he became the first Major League pitcher to win a 1–0 game and hit the game-winning homer since the Dodgers’ Bob Welch accomplished the feat on June 17, 1983. This game also marked the beginning of closer Éric Gagné's record-breaking streak, the first game of 84 consecutive saves.

Pérez had 18 no decisions in 2004, the most among MLB starting pitchers for that season.

Kansas City Royals
In 2006, concerns about Pérez's work ethic and attitude arose, and the front office soon was looking to deal the left hander, as then-GM Ned Colletti details in his memoir, The Big Chair. Shortly after a disappointing outing in a 10-8 loss in Arizona on May 2, owner Frank McCourt approached Colletti, telling him to trade Odalis. "I don't care if you've got to eat the entire contract. Get him out of here." On July 25, 2006, Perez and two minor league pitchers (Blake Johnson and Julio Pimentel) were traded to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Elmer Dessens. Cash considerations were also sent to the Royals in the deal.

On October 31, 2007, the Royals declined Perez's $9 million option and paid him a $1.5 million buyout.

Washington Nationals
On February 19, 2008, Pérez signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals and was invited to spring training. Pérez had his contract purchased by the Nationals on March 20, 2008.

Perez got the Opening Day start for Washington on March 30, 2008. He gave up the first home run in the history of Nationals Park, to Chipper Jones in the top of the fourth. He allowed the one run and surrendered four hits over five innings and ended up with a no-decision. Ryan Zimmerman hit a walk-off home rune to decide the first game in the history of Nationals Park, 3-2. He also struck out the first batter and delivered the first pitch in the history of Nationals Park.

Pérez agreed to a minor league contract with the Nationals prior to the  season. However, he had second thoughts and did not report to spring training, instead wanting a major league deal.  He was subsequently released.

Death
Pérez died after falling off a ladder at his home in Santo Domingo on March 10, 2022. He was 44. Pérez was alone at home at the time of death.

Easy Come, Easy Go is the sixth studio album by Polish group 2 Plus 1, released in 1980. It was their first international LP, released by Autobahn Records in Germany and Wifon in Poland. Recorded with various outside musicians and producers, the album's blend of pop and disco was a departure from the band's previous folk-flavoured repertoire. The title track became 2 Plus 1's biggest hit in Germany and "Singapore" was popular in Japan. The album turned out a commercial success and was later certified Gold in Poland. Neither Easy Come, Easy Go nor 2 Plus 1's second international album were re-released on CD in their entirety.
