Nachiketa Chakraborty, simply known as Nachiketa, is an Indian singer, songwriter, musician, composer and playback singer who is known for his modern Bengali lyrics. He achieved fame in the early 1990s, with the release of his debut album Ei Besh Bhalo Achi.

Early life

Nachiketa was born in Kolkata at Muktaram Babu Street. His father was Sakha Ranjan Chakravarti. His ancestral roots lie in Chechri Rampur village in Kathalia Upazila of Jhalokati District of Bangladesh. His grandfather Lalit Mohan Chakravarti came to India before 1946. He started composing songs and performing live, as a student of Maharaja Manindra Chandra College in North Kolkata's Shyambazar. In 1993 his first album Ei besh bhalo achi was released; it was an instant hit. Initially he had a huge youth fan following; but gradually, he drew listeners from all age groups. His colloquial language immediately hit the stagnancy of Bengali music in the early 90s. Following the path of Kabir Suman (then Suman Chattopadhay), Nachiketa changed the age-old concept of Bengali lyrics.
Today, he remains a renowned singer-songwriter and composer in Kolkata.

Eve Frank or Eva Frank (1754 – 1816 or 1817) born Rachel Frank in Nikopol, Ottoman Empire (now Bulgaria), was a mystic cult leader, and the only woman to have been declared a Jewish messiah according to historian Jerry Rabow. She was the daughter of Jacob Frank, the claimant to the position of Jewish messiah in the 18th century, and allegedly Sophie Ascania/Catherine the Great.

Early life
Eve Frank received the name of Eve in 1760 upon the conversion of her family to Catholicism. For much of her life, she accompanied her father during his travels and after the death of her mother in 1770, the then 16-year-old Eve was declared to be the incarnation of the Shekinah, the female aspect of God, as well as the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary and thus became the object of a devotional subcult herself near the Catholic Marian shrine of Częstochowa, with some followers keeping small statues of her in their homes. According to historian Jerry Rabow, she was the only woman to have been declared a Jewish messiah.

Her father Jacob spread the rumor that Eve, who was often called "Eva Romanovna" at that point, was an illegitimate child of Catherine II of Russia. Father and daughter repeatedly traveled to Vienna, and succeeded in gaining the favor of the court.

Religious leader
Upon the death of her father in 1791, Eve became the "holy mistress" and leader of the cult. Eve Frank and her two younger brothers, Josef and Rochus, assumed responsibility for the direction of the court. Many people continued to go up to Offenbach am Main, to Gottes Haus, as the believers called it.

In 1800, the Franks sent "red letters" (in red ink) to hundreds of Jewish communities encouraging conversion to Frankism. However, the Frank siblings had neither the stature nor the strength of personality required to keep the cult going and as time went on the number of pilgrims and supply of money diminished drastically, while Eve continued to live in her accustomed luxury.

In November 1813, after the battle of Leipzig, Tsar Alexander I, then emperor of Russia, rode from Frankfurt to Offenbach to visit Eve.

Death and controversy
She finally became heavily indebted by three million gulden in 1817. It was alleged that she died in poverty in 1816, although she is believed to have escaped to Poland and continued to lead the community after the dismantling of the Frankist court and arrest order from the Duke of Hesse. Nonetheless, her followers continued to exist well into the middle of the 19th century. Among these were the parents of Louis Brandeis, the U.S. Supreme Court Justice.

Leadville is a town in New South Wales, Australia. The town is located in the Warrumbungle Shire local government area,  north west of the state capital, Sydney. At the 2016 census, Leadville and the surrounding area had a population of 169.

History

Aboriginal history
The site of modern-day Leadville lies on the traditional lands of Wiradjuri people, close to the lands of  neighbouring Kamilaroi people that lie to the north and east. Early government surveyors were directed to use local language words for place names whenever possible and place names of surrounding settlements such as Dunedoo, Coolah, Goolma, Gulgong and Mudgee are settler interpretations of Wiradjuri language words. That tends to confirm that it is Wiradjuri country.

Mining town
The origins of the town are associated with the nearby silver-lead ore deposits; the former Mount Stewart, Extended, Mount Scott, Grosvenor and Latimer Mines are nearby.

An Aboriginal man, Tommy Governor—the father of Jimmy Governor—found some interesting rocks, near what would become Mount Stewart, and showed these to Mr. George Stewart. The rocks were lead carbonate and assays showed the presence of silver. Governor was later to complain that he had not received what he thought was fair compensation for his discovery.

Mining commenced at Mount Stewart in 1888. For the first few years, the miners used nearby Denison Town for supplies and services. In 1891, Free Trader politician, gold-mining entrepreneur, and director of the Mount Stewart Lead and Silver Mining Company, Charles Lancelot Garland, retired as the member for Carcoar and bought , at what is now Leadville, immediately to the east of the Mount Stewart mine site. He subdivided the land into 250 town allotments. The new 'private town' of Leadville took its name from another silver-lead mining town, Leadville, Colorado. Private ownership of the town was the reason that Leadville was a 'town', while nearby Dunedoo and Coolah were officially only 'villages'. The streets of the new town were named after directors of the Mount Stewart mine—Clarke, Garland, Cox, Channon, Stewart, Plumb—and others—Denham, Davis (a mine manager), and Robinson.The growth of Leadville caused Denison Town to fade away, as business migrated to the new town; One of those to move was storekeeper, William Latimer.

Mining at Leadville occurred in three distinct phases, 1888 to 1894, 1913 to 1935, and 1950 to 1952.

Beginning in 1888, silver and lead ore was mined. In 1889, the Mount Steward mine shaft had reached a depth of  and was driving east and west from the  level. In 1890, the Mount Stewart Mining Lead and Silver Mining Company was floated.  For fourteen months, from early 1892, there was also a smelter at Leadville, which produced 1,539 tons of lead and  of silver, from 15,000 tons of ore. The smelter had an 80-ton "water jacket furnace" (a cold-blast furnace), with  steam-driven blast engine, and a  high brick chimney. The furnace used coke—brought from Newcastle to Mudgee by rail and then carted from there to Leadville, an expensive proposition—supplemented by locally burned charcoal. The fortunate accidental discovery of a deposit of limestone, within the mine itself,  provided a local source of limestone for flux used in the furnace.

The initial success of the Mount Stewart Mine prompted others to explore and take up leases in the area. A second mine, the Mount Steward Extended Mine—just north of the original Mount Stewart Mine and close to its smelter—was sunk in 1892 and a company floated to fund it; Garland was also a director of this company. The Dynevor Silver and Gold Mining Co. was floated in Melbourne in 1891, and began to mine a deposit of sulphide ores approximately one kilometre/mile away from the Mount Stuart Mine. Storekeeper William Latimer's freehold paddock also became a mine. Three miles from Leadville, yet another company sank a shaft, the Mount Scott Mine, which seems never to have gone into production.

Mining activity peaked in 1893, and with it the town's population—growing from 26 in 1891 to around 1000—before the silver price crashed in a worldwide financial panic.  By 1894, complicating the problem of the silver price, the carbonate ores at the Mount Stewart Mine were becoming exhausted, as miners reached the sulphide zone, consisting mainly of iron pyrites and zinc sulphide. Mining ceased around the end of 1894, and also effectively ended land sales in the town, leaving Garland with many unsold town allotments.

After silver-lead mining ended, some ethnic-Chinese shearers and station hands settled in the town, which had been vacated by the miners. There was an ethnic-Chinese presence in the town for some years.

Charles Garland bought the Mount Stewart Mine from the liquidator in 1898 and was joined in the venture by James Channon, a Sydney manufacturer and mine owner. Pyrite (iron pyrites) was used to make sulphuric acid, providing a potential market. In 1913, a trial shipment of 100 tons of pyrite was sold. Garland was soon advocating—despite his earlier political stance in favour of free trade—the imposition of a duty on imported iron pyrites, claiming his mine would be a local source.

Prior to 1920, the closest railway connection was at Craboon, on the Gwabegar railway line. In 1913, the construction of a branch line from Craboon to Coolah—passing through Leadville and servicing the mines there—was already under active consideration. Garland advocated the new line, as a means to lower the cost of Leadville iron pyrites to superphosphate fertiliser manufacturers. An act to build the line was passed in December 1915; it opened in March 1920.

In 1916, iron pyrites was shipped to the Wallaroo-Mount Lyall Superphosphate Works, and in 1920 to the Cockle Creek Smelter, over the new railway line. Around this time, in 1919, the population of Leadville and its surrounding area was still 772. However, misfortune followed; Channon died in  December 1920 and, on 14 October 1921, many buildings in the town and at the mine were damaged by a violent storm. Garland lost his earlier enthusiasm for operating the mine, and with it the support of the town.

In late 1926, the "Leadville Mines"—consisting of the Mount Stewart, Grosvenor, and Extended Mines— were on the market, "For the purposes of winding up a partnership", presumably the partnership of Garland and Channon's heirs. Garland had lost interest in reopening the mine, by 1929, further angering the people of the town whose future prosperity depended upon it. Garland died in 1930.

In 1932 the Mount Stewart Syndicate reopened the mine and began shipping iron pyrites to Australian Fertilisers Limited at Port Kembla but, in 1935, the mining ceased. In 1934–1935, there had been a bitter demarcation dispute between the Miners Federation and the Australian Workers Union, at Leadville, and, in April 1935, there was suspected sabotage at the mine. The dispute may have been a factor in bringing about the mine's closure. However, it was another industrial dispute—at distant Port Kembla—that was held responsible for the cessation of iron pyrites mining at Leadville and putting 50 men out of work.  Imminent reopening was anticipated—for some years—but did not occur.

In 1951, the Leadville Mining Company, produced a small amount of ore and concentrate and, in 1952, Mr R.H. Spence attempted to recover silver from the mine tailings using the cyanide process, unsuccessfully. That was the last mineral production at Leadville.

After the First World War, two locations near Leadville, 'Pine Ridge' and 'Lawson Park', became soldier-settlement areas. Consequently, a number of returned servicemen settled in the area. Leadville became a soldier-settler town, during the inter-war years, as mining declined.

In 1935, Leadville had a population of 250 (the district 600), a public school, post office, two hotels, two churches, bakery, butcher, billiard hall, fruiterer, newsagent, stock and station agent, a commercial store, a brand new community hall, and a passenger train from Sydney, every day except Saturday.

Around 1960, the town experienced a serious decline, as businesses and services drifted away to Dunedoo. In 1960 and 1965, town allotments—including many still owned by Charles Garland's estate—were sold to recover unpaid rates. The school—opened in 1892—closed in 1972. The post office—opened in 1891—closed in 1991.

Leadville railway station opened in 1920 and closed in 1975. It was located just to the north of the town. The Coolah branch railway last carried trains in 1982. For a time, a railway from Leadville to Merriwa was proposed as an alternative to the Sandy Hollow to Maryvale railway; in the end neither line would be completed.

The town's most famous son was Major-General Sir Ivan Dougherty (1907-1998). The continuation of Garland St, after it crosses the town's boundary, is named Sir Ivan Dougherty Drive in his honour.

Remnants
Modern-day Leadville is a quiet place. What remains of the town today lies just to the east of the site of the former Mount Stewart Mine. Most of the town allotments have been subsumed into larger blocks and paddocks but can still be viewed using Google Maps. The town's cemetery still exists.

Libby Fischer Hellmann is an American crime fiction writer who currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. Most of her novels and stories are set in Chicago; the Chicago Sun-Times notes that she "grew up in Washington, D.C., but she has embraced her adopted home of Chicago with the passion of a convert."

Early years
Raised in Washington D.C., Hellmann attended the National Cathedral School, followed by the University of Pennsylvania. After graduating with a BA in History, she enrolled in New York University's Graduate Program in Film and Television, earning an MFA in 1972.

She worked in television news as an assistant film editor for NBC in New York City, then relocated to D.C. where she joined National Public Affairs Center for Television, the public affairs unit that first paired Robert MacNeil with Jim Lehrer. Among other programs, she worked on the rebroadcast of the Watergate hearings in 1973. Hellmann also spent time at TVN, the news syndication service underwritten by Joseph Coors, and NBC in Washington, DC. In 1978 she joined Burson-Marsteller's Chicago creative department where she worked until 1985. She founded Fischer Hellmann Communications in 1985, which specializes in video production, speech writing, and spokesperson training.

Career in fiction
Hellmann's first crime fiction novel, An Eye For Murder, was published in hardcover in 2002 by Poisoned Pen Press and in paperback by Berkley Prime Crime. It was nominated for an Anthony for Best First, and won the Best First Readers Choice Award at Chicago's Love is Murder conference. Its protagonist, video producer and single mother Ellie Foreman, was featured in three additional novels.

Her second crime fiction series, featuring Private Investigator Georgia Davis, debuted in 2008 with Easy Innocence. Davis had been introduced in the 2004 Ellie Foreman novel An Image of Death, and Hellman said she knew immediately that she would want to write a book with Davis as protagonist. Her next book, Doubleback (October 2009, Bleak House Books), features both Davis and Foreman as co-protagonists. ToxiCity, a prequel to the Georgia Davis series, was published in 2011. A fourth thriller, Nobody's Child was released in 2014.

In 2012, Easy Innocence was translated into Spanish and published under the title Inocencia Fácil.

In 2010 she released Set the Night on Fire, published by Allium Press, a stand-alone thriller that goes back, in part, to the late 1960s in Chicago. A second stand-alone, A Bitter Veil, set largely in Revolutionary Iran, was published by Allium Press in 2012. Hellmann published "Havana Lost" in 2013. Although these three books are each stand-alone thrillers, they all deal with revolution and how it affects individuals, communities, cultures, and countries. Hellmann calls the three her "Revolution Trilogy."

Hellmann has published nearly 20 short stories, most of which are available in a collection called Nice Girl Does Noir. In 2013, this collection was translated into Italian and published under the title Ragazza Insospettabile Scrive Noir.

In 2007 Hellmann edited Chicago Blues, a short story anthology featuring over 20 prominent Chicago crime fiction authors including Stuart Kaminsky, Sara Paretsky, Barbara D'Amato, Sean Chercover, Marcus Sakey, Joe Konrath, Max Allan Collins, and others.

In 2006 Hellmann founded The Outfit Collective, a blog that was shared by eleven Chicago crime fiction authors. According to Blog Rank, it was the #7 mystery novels blog on the Web.

Awards and honors
Hellmann has been nominated for several major mystery awards, including the Shamus Award, the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense, the Anthony Award (twice) and the Agatha. She has won the Readers Choice/Lovey Award multiple times. Three of her novels have also been finalists in the Thriller of the Year/Foreword Reviews Magazine awards.

C-MORE: SUPER HI-CAT (Center for Microbial Oceanography- Research and Education: Survey of Underwater Plastic Ecosystem Response Hawaii to California Transit)

The SUPER HI-CAT research cruise was the first effort to study the microbial communities and the biogeochemistry associated with the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.[1] The study was conducted aboard the RV Kilo Moana (T-AGOR-26) between August 25, 2008 and September 5, 2008 by researchers from University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Oregon State University, and the Algalita Marine Research Foundation.

Previous research on the Plastic Patch had mostly focused on the effects of the plastic pieces on jellyfish, fish, sea turtles, and seabirds. Relatively little was known about how this type of marine debris would affect the microbial communities that make up 98% of the biomass in the ocean and control oceanic biogeochemistry. During this cruise, 30 sites were sampled. At 15 of these sites, a modified surface net called a manta trawl was used to collect plastic pieces, while water samples were collected from the upper 200 meters of the ocean. At the other 15 stations, only the surface waters were sampled. This study will allow researchers to begin to determine whether biofilms are forming on the plastic particles, whether the microbes living on the particles are different from the free-living planktonic organisms, and what effect these communities might have on the oceanic carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle.

Pierre Chastellain (1606 – 14 August 1684) was a Jesuit missionary among the Huron.

Life
Chastellain joined the Jesuits in 1624 and in 1636 sailed for New France with two other priests, Fathers Isaac Jogues and Charles Garnier. Also on the voyage was the Governor of New France, Charles de Montmagny who was replacing Samuel de Champlain.

In July, 1636, Chastellain and Garnier left Trois-Rivières to join the mission in the Huron country. He spent almost fifty years at appointments among the Hurons as well as in Quebec. He was a strong gentle man with a personal charity towards others.

An important legacy of his life is his book "Affectus amantis Christum seu Exercitium amoris erga Dominum Jesum pro totâ hebdomadâ".

Hemimeridae is a family of earwigs in the suborder Neodermaptera. Hemimeridae was formerly considered a suborder, Hemimerina, but was reduced in rank to family and included in the new suborder Neodermaptera.

Hemimeridae is represented by two genera, Hemimerus and Araeomerus. They are wingless, blind and viviparous ectoparasites of African rodents, and have filiform segmented cerci. The best known species is Hemimerus bouvieri.
Hemimeridae contains eleven described species placed within two genera: Hemimerus and Araeomerus (Nakata and Maa, 1974). Hemimerids are relatively small (5–15 mm) and inhabit the fur of giant nesomyid rats in Africa. Hemimerids have short, broad legs with grooves that allow them to cling to the host and specialized mouthparts for scraping dead skin and fungus from their host (Nakata and Maa, 1974). Araeomerus is found in the nest of long-tailed pouch rats (Beamys) and Hemimerus is found on giant (Cricetomys) rats (Nakata and Maa, 1974). Araeomerus are found more often in the burrows and nests of Beamys rat than on the rat itself, while Hemimerus less frequently leaves its host.

Genera
The family contains the following genera:
 Araeomerus Maa, 1974
 Hemimerus Walker, 1871

Banty Raids is a 1963 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Robert McKimson. The cartoon was released on June 29, 1963, and features Foghorn Leghorn and the Barnyard Dawg. The voices were performed by Mel Blanc.

This cartoon marked the last "classic-era" cartoon featuring Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dawg. Foghorn would make a cameo appearance in False Hare in 1964, but his next appearance after that was in 1980's The Yolk's on You.

Plot

A curmudgeon old rooster expels a young, pint-sized (bantam, aka "banty") rooster — who fancies himself as a hip beatnik and ladies' man — from the barnyard after repeatedly disturbing the peace with rock music. The banty, after regaining his senses (and shooting his guitar), sees the neighboring barnyard is full of hens and is immediately overcome with lust.

But to gain access to the barnyard, he needs to get past its superintendent, Foghorn Leghorn. The young rooster disguises himself as a baby and Foghorn takes the bait. Adopting him as his "son," Foghorn immediately shows the beatnik how to keep Barnyard Dawg in his place, using a rubber band contraption to punch the dog square in the head before tossing him in a garbage can.

The beatnik rooster constantly sneaks away to dance with the hens and kiss them. Foghorn eventually catches on that his young visitor is attracted to the "fairer sex", and decides to run a test on him. He shows the beatnik pictures of the Dawg, himself and a lady hen in an evening dress, the latter of which gets a wild reaction out of the banty ("Yahoo! Wildsville!") and confirms Foggy's suspicions ("Hah, just like I thought! He's wacky over females!"). The Barnyard Dawg also learns of this and, seeing an opportunity to get back at Foghorn, offers to aid the hip rooster. After the hen-obsessed rooster agrees, the dog has him stand in a nearby circle and sends a toy tank to seek out Foggy ("Uh oh. Looks like one of that silly dawg's booby traps!"). After dodging a shot from the tank, he is then kicked violently by a bull (the real target of the tank), launching and trapping him in a converted thresher retooled for the sole purpose of transforming Foghorn into a hen forever. After Foggy lands in the thresher, he disappears from view as a rope laden spindle revolves at high speed, ensnaring Foggy within an undetermined length of rope. Once Foggy pops out of the thresher landing on a conveyor belt, his arms are bound to his sides giving Foghorn a bustline, and his beak was also tied shut to prevent speech and to alter said beak into a fluted shape, adding to his new henlike appearance. While Foggy rides the conveyor belt, he is subjected to a "makeover" which begins when eyelids with blue eyeshadow and long thick eyelashes are literally glued on, continues when a plunger with red lipstick smacks into Foggy's beak, coating his beak with the lipstick, a blue bonnet with a redhead wig is put onto his head, and ends when Foggy drops headfirst into a blue dress, bounces off a makeshift trampoline (a corset), gently floating down to earth as his dress functions like an umbrella a minute later, the busty redheaded hen landing between the dog, and the banty rooster, as his feet slide into a pair of blue heels. The banty rooster demands an impromptu marriage ceremony and Barnyard Dog readily obliges, donning a preachers hat and declaring them husband and wife, "or somethin...". Foggy tries to protest ("But I'm a rooster!", which the beatnik rooster doesn't understand because Foggy's speech is obscured by his beak being tied shut); the banty rooster however, is willing to accept his shortcomings. Mimicking the final scene of Some Like It Hot the banty closes the cartoon carrying Foggy away, telling him "Don't let it bug ya ma'mm. Like, we can't all be perfect!"

Eleanor Manning O'Connor (June 27, 1884 – July 12, 1973) was an American architect and educator passionate about the creation of decent public housing for all.

Early life and education
Eleanor Manning O'Connor was born in 1884 to parents, Delia Josephine Grady and James Manning, a building contractor in Lynn, Massachusetts. Her Father, James Manning, was the son of Irish immigrants John Manning and Ellen Horgan.  Eleanor attended Lynn Classical High School and received an S.B. degree in architecture in 1906. Her thesis was entitled "Design for a Country Residence." She served as the president of Cleofan, MIT's club for women in her senior year.

Architectural practice
Two years after graduation, O'Connor accepted a position as a draftsman with another architect and MIT graduate, Lois Lilley Howe. In 1912, she took an extended leave of absence and traveled in Europe with her associate and classmate Eliza J. Newkirk Rogers, creating watercolors of the buildings she observed.
She cut short the trip to accept an offer of partnership from Howe and joined the firm calling themselves Howe and Manning,
America's fourth firm of female architects, later Howe, Manning & Almy, Inc.
The firm frequently worked on remodeling and renovating outdated structures and O'Connor coined the term "renovising" to describe their work.

In the 1920s, O'Connor worked with Lois Howe and other architects on the Village of Mariemont, a planned community in Hamilton County, Ohio.

During this period one of her major works was a commission from WPA for low-cost housing in an Irish neighborhood in South Boston called the Old Harbor Housing Project, constructed 1933-1938. She worked with other architects in a collaboration known as the Seventeen Associated Architects. This project, consisting of three story apartments and two story townhouses was distinguished for its residential appeal as compared to the sterile atmosphere of most public housing. Biographer Doris Cole  says that O'Connor was the partner most concerned about social issues and her concerns reflected the detailing, choice of materials and attention to proportion that contribute to the appeal of the project. Subsequently, O'Connor served on numerous housing commissions and councils at the city, state and national levels.

Educator
After WWI, O'Connor began lecturing at Simmons College as a Special Instructor of Architecture and later of Housing, a position that she held for 50 years
. During the 1930s she also taught at Pine Manor Junior College, Chamberlain School for Retailing, and Garland College.
She lectured frequently in the New England area on housing throughout her career.

Collaboration with Johnson O'Connor
In 1931, Eleanor Manning married the American psychometrician, researcher, and educator Johnson O'Connor, founder of the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation. At the foundation, she championed the causes of women and encouraged women to enter into the fields of engineering, medicines and science.

O'Connor died in Mexico in 1973 while researching Indian cultures and is buried beside her husband in Newport Beach, California. She was survived by O'Connor's engineer son, Chadwell O'Connor.

The 32nd Cavalry Regiment is a cavalry formation of the United States Army. From 1941 to 2000, it was an armor formation.

History
The 32nd Armor Regiment was activated 15 April 1941 at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana as the 2nd Armored Regiment and assigned to the 3rd Armored Division. This title designation did not last long as the unit was quickly redesignated less than a month later on 8 May 1941 as the 32nd Armor Regiment. The 32nd Armor along with the 33rd Armor were the only two of the six armor regiments (the others belonging to the 1st and 2nd Armored Divisions) to have ever been deployed in full regimental formation (during World War II.) All other armor units were deployed at the battalion level.
The 32nd Armor Regiment then moved to Fort Polk, Louisiana on 14 June 1941. When the unit arrived Fort Polk was still not completed but nonetheless it was designated as the training base for the 3rd Armored Division. The Battalion received the bulk of its men who underwent basic training, began field training and learned to operate their tanks.

World War II
The 32nd was assigned to the 3rd Armored Division.The unit moved to Normandy in mid June 1944. On 29 June 1944, the regiment entered combat as part of the 3rd Armored Division's Combat Command A at Villiers-Fossard. The regiment fought on until 24 April 1945. During their time in action the unit assisted in the liberation of France and Belgium and breaking through the Siegfried Line. It experienced heavy combat in the Hurtgen Forest and The Battle of the Bulge. The regiment earned two Distinguished Unit Citations and twice received the Meritorious Service Unit Plaque for their service.

Cold War

Following the end of the Second World War, the 32nd Armor Regiment stood down along with the rest of the 3rd Armored Division on 10 November 1945. As Cold War tensions grew, the regiment was reactivated on 15 July 1947. Battalions of the regiment were stationed with United States Army Europe in West Germany and was tasked with deterring any Soviet advance through the Fulda Gap. The 1st Battalion was in Germany after the Korean War ended, and was joined by 3rd Battalion after being dispatched from Fort Stewart, Georgia in the early 1960s.

Locations varied with divisional attachments. Examples in the 1960s: 1st Battalion and 3rd Battalion with the 3rd Brigade, 3rd Armored Division, in Friedberg; 5th Battalion with the 24th Infantry Division in Munich.

Meanwhile, the 2nd Battalion was in Hawaii during the 1950s.

Southwest Asia
The 32nd Armor Regiment also played an important role in Southwest Asia as part of the 3rd Armored Division. Following the end of hostilities in the Persian Gulf, the 32nd Armor Regiment stood down along with the rest of the 3rd Armored Division at Fort Knox, KY, on 17 October 1992 with personnel and equipment being transferred to the 2d Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment. 1/32 Armor was part of the 1st Cavalry Division out of Fort Hood, TX during Desert Shield/Desert Storm.

Reactivation as cavalry
The 1st Battalion was reactivated 16 April 1995 at Fort Lewis, Washington using personnel and equipment from the 5th Battalion, 77th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Division, recently transferred from Mannheim, Germany in 1994. The battalion then became a subordinate unit of the 2nd Infantry Division.

The 1st Battalion (the last active unit of the 32d Armor Regiment) was inactivated on 15 September 2000 at Fort Lewis, Washington with personnel and equipment being transferred to the 1st Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment.

On 10 August 2005 the 1st Squadron, 32nd Cavalry Regiment was activated as part of the 1st Brigade Combat Team (Bastogne), 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This new cavalry regiment inherited and continued the lineage and honors (including distinctive unit insignia) of the 32nd Armor Regiment.

War on Terrorism
On 23 September 2005, the 1st Squadron, 32d Cavalry (Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA)) deployed to Iraq for a tour in support of Operation Iraq Freedom. The unit conducted a relief in place with four battalions of the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment and assumed responsibility for over 18,000 square kilometers of eastern Diyala Province along the Iranian border. There, the Bandits partnered with and validated two Iraqi Brigades, fought Al-Qaeda in Iraq operatives and conducted counter-insurgency operations against insurgent networks attempting to destabilize the new Iraqi government. Between 20 May 2006 and 20 July 2006, Task Force Bandit, consisting of 1–32 Cavalry, elements of C/1-68 Armor and A/3-29 Field Artillery and with aviation support from 3rd, 4th and 7th Battalions, 101st Aviation,3/978 MP CO conducted a series of operations against Al-Qaeda and Ansar Al-Sunna safe areas within the isolated terrain along the Diyala River of the Muqdadiyah Qa'da. These operations denied the enemy sanctuary, rescued over twenty kidnapped civilians, eliminated strategic caches, destroyed vehicle-borne improvised explosive factories and disrupted senior Al-Qaeda and Ansar Al-Sunna leadership and planning. During this deployment, troopers of the 1st Squadron, 32d Cavalry Regiment (RSTA) earned four Bronze Star Medals for Valor and 29 Army Commendation Medals for Valor. On 24 August 2006, 1st Squadron, 32d Cavalry transitioned authority to 2nd Squadron, 9th Cavalry and returned to Fort Campbell, Kentucky to prepare for their next deployment.

On 21 September 2007, the 1st Squadron, 32d Cavalry once again departed Fort Campbell, again bound for eastern Diyala Province, Iraq for a 15-month tour as a part of the Iraqi Surge. Once in Iraq, the squadron relieved 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry and continued operations in Diyala, while planning for a move to FOB Paliwoda, located in southern Salah ad Din Province. While the majority of the squadron conducted their move to FOB Paliwoda and relieved 3rd Squadron, 8th Cavalry, C Troop remained in Diyala to turn over the area of operations to the 2nd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. During the next twelve months in Salah ad Din Province, 1–32 Cavalry set up numerous Sons of Iraq groups to assist in securing the local population, trained members of the Iraqi Army and National Police and conducted numerous targeted air assault raids against high-value targets throughout their area of operations. In November 2008, the squadron returned to Fort Campbell to once again train and prepare for another deployment, this time to Afghanistan.

April 2010, Task Force (TF) Bandit, deployed to eastern Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and executed counterinsurgency operations in the remote provinces of Nuristan and Kunar.  TF Bandit established security through offensive operations and the judicious application of joint direct and indirect fires, and improved governance and security by enabling local leaders and Afghan National Security Forces.  By mid-July, TF Bandit had made clear improvements in security, governance and development in Naray and Ghaziabad Districts by expanding local government and shifting from contractor-centric to community-focused development.  In July 2010, insurgent forces occupied the village of Barg-e Matal, an isolated but politically significant village in the northern region of TF Bandit's operational environment (OE) accessible only by air.

On 26 July 2010, TF Bandit conducted Operation AZMARAY FURY, a combined air assault, augmented with Soldiers from 1st and 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiments, Afghan National Security Forces elements and other enablers in order to secure the population of Barg-e Matal.  ANSF and TF Bandit seized the objective and conducted follow-on missions in the Mandigal Valley including the clearance of the villages of Badmuk and Bachancha. On 18 September 2010, TF Bandit enabled the safe completion of parliamentary elections by defending polling sites, securing a main supply route (MSR) and pursuing insurgents attempting to disrupt the electoral process.

On 8 February 2011, TF Bandit conducted a major offensive operation code named Northern Avalanche.  Augmented with Coalition and Afghan National Security Forces elements air assaulted and cleared to disrupt anti-Afghan forces within major valleys located in the southern portion in TF Bandit OE and allow ANSF to secure MSR south of Ghaziabad District Center. ANSF and TF Bandit decisively disrupted a major insurgent network, defeated defending enemy forces, and secured their objectives.  During OEF 10-11 TF Bandit took part in 327 enemy engagements, completed 661 indirect fire missions involving 5,024 projectiles and was awarded 32 Purple Hearts, 13 valor awards and 205 combat badges. The TF Bandit also devoted 50 projects and $3 million toward development, and treated over 3,000 local national patients

In November 2012, the 1st Squadron, 32nd Cavalry Regiment deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom as Security Force Advise and Assist Teams, SFAAT, under the command of 1st Brigade Combat Team, Bastogne and 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).

Popular culture

From 1958 to 1960 Elvis Presley served as an armor intelligence specialist with the 1st Medium Tank Battalion at Ray Barracks, Germany. One of Presley's Army uniforms is on display at the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, in a special exhibit called "Sgt. Presley, Citizen Soldier."

Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses, has a tattoo of the 32nd Armor regimental crest on his left arm, as a reference to unit veteran Elvis Presley, though Rose has never served in any military unit. Similarly, in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ferris sometimes wears the crest on a black beret.  Black berets were once worn by 3rd Armored Division tank crewmen. The 32nd Armor Regiment was part of the 3rd Armored Division.

Diplomatic Immunity is a New Zealand sitcom that follows the misadventures at the consulate of The Most Royal Kingdom of Fe'ausi and a fallen New Zealand Foreign Affairs high-flier who has been sent in to straighten out the consulate staff.  The show screened in New Zealand on TV One, every Tuesday night at 10:00.

Synopsis
After a public disgrace, Leighton Mills (Craig Parker) is sent to the Royal Consulate of Fe'ausi. He must stop the dodgy dealings of its staff and all the silly behaviour around the office including illegal weddings and April Fool's Day jokes taken too far, and try to encourage the immature ambassador Jonah Fa'auigaese (David Fane) to do the right thing.  Meanwhile, he is attracted to Jonah's daughter, Leilani (Lesley-Ann Brandt), and attempts to avoid the rest of the consulate staff.

Cast and characters

Main
 David Fane as Jonah Fa'auigaese: Jonah is the Fe'ausi ambassador to New Zealand and brother of King Gideon, the reigning monarch. A Machiavellian master politician who can go from great eloquence to feigned fresh-off-the-boat-ness with consummate skill, he truly believes that all the dodgy deals and morally questionable decisions he makes are for the good of his people.
 Craig Parker as Leighton Mills: Leighton is the fallen rising star of New Zealand Foreign Affairs. Ambitious and urbane, Leighton was an aspiring diplomat. An unfortunate incident involving alcohol; the randy daughter of a minor British Royal; the backseat of the Queen's limo and the paparazzi, saw his fledgling career nipped in the bud. Leighton has been shipped north from Wellington to Auckland, as a diplomatic attaché, attached to the consulate of The Most Royal Kingdom of Fe'ausi.
 Lesley-Ann Brandt as Leilani Fa'auigaese: Leilani is an intelligent, outspoken woman. But lately she has become a problem. Leilani has led the men of Fe'ausi on, while forcing them to listen to political ideas. Her popularity with men has made her extremely unpopular with the women. Thus Leilani has been deported to New Zealand, to be with her father; Jonah, who just wants to hide her away because she is severely endangering his chance to land the job of King. She has a phobia of whales.
 John Leigh as Mick Fa'auigaese: Mick is a funny wee guy with a mysterious past and an even more mysterious present. With no morals to speak of, he's like a human cockroach, scurrying from one deal to the next and trying at all costs, to avoid the light. Mick is the albino adopted second cousin of the king.
 Mario Gaoa as Malepe Fa'auigaese:  Malepe is the son of a cousin of the King. He specialises in hanging out and looking cool - and getting parking tickets outside strip clubs, of course.
 Kayte Ferguson as Suga Fa'auigaese: Suga is the niece of a cousin of the King. She has come to New Zealand to marry a rich white man, and to have many babies. Suga is officially, the consulate Tourist Affairs liaison.
 Hannah Marshall as Kirsty: Kirsty is the effervescent, irreplaceable heart and soul of the embassy. She questions nothing and does everything that is asked of her. Kirsty is pretty much the only one who does any legitimate work round the consulate. She also knows everything that is going on and is quite happy to use her knowledge to stir things up a bit.

Guest
 Natalie Medlock as Princess Grace: The French princess whom Leighton was caught with, which got him sent to the consulate. She marries Mick.
 Jason Hoyte and Johnathan Brugh as Brother Jacob and Brother John: Two brothers who want to marry desperately. They find it okay to marry more than one woman. They have a habit of asking Kirsty to marry them.
 Robbie Magasiva as Prince To'omai: Prince To'omai is the prince of the country of Fa'akofa. He is very handsome, but extremely stupid. He was to marry Leilani, but Leighton hides the key to the room where the traditional shagashaga is to be held, so the wedding was called off. To'omai likes many wives, who are blonde.
 Pua Magasiva as The Niu: The Niu is the carrier of the diplomatic pouch. He is an avid surfer and all the women in the consulate are attracted to him. His stupidity leads him to pick up a dangerous spider and bring it to the consulate. Leighton finds out he is gay.
 Paul Barrett as Lewis Moorecock: A gay financial advisor whom the consulate adores. He writes them a musical about Sir Edmund Hillary.
 Sarah Owen as Janice: A whale protestor who chains herself to the consulates fence. She has a vast knowledge of all whales. She also protests seal beatings.
 Michelle Langstone as Svetlana: a woman Jonah falls for.
 Madeleine Sami as Agent Amy Bickler: A secret agent who suspects Leilani of being a terrorist. She is slightly loopy and pretends to be Leighton's girlfriend in case people are secretly watching them.

The National Alliance for Advanced Transportation Battery Cell Manufacture
was formed in December 2008 as an alliance between 14 battery makers and the Argonne National Laboratory to improve the competitiveness of the American battery industry (which is in some respects playing catch-up to the Japanese battery industry) and to expedite the development of advanced lithium ion battery technology. The alliance is modeled after SEMATECH, formed in 1987 by a group of U.S. semiconductor manufacturers with $1 billion in federal funding to build manufacturing plants to compete with Asian competition.

The market for rechargeable lithium ion batteries is currently too small for any one company to build a plant on its own. By combining resources, and with the help of up to $2 billion from the federal government over the next five years, the hope is to catch up on the lead of Asian manufacturers that now supply the majority of batteries used in hybrid and electric cars.

Members
The alliance's members are:
3M, Johnson Controls-Saft Advanced Power Solutions, ActaCell, All Cell Technologies, Altair Nanotechnologies Inc, Eagle Picher Industries Inc., EnerSys, Envia Systems, FMC Corp, MicroSun Technologies, Mobius Power, SiLyte, Superior Graphite, and Townsend Advanced Energy.

The Arab Customs Union is a customs union announced at the Arab League's 2009 Arab Economic and Social Development Summit in Kuwait in order to achieve a functional customs union by 2015 and an Arab common market by 2020 and to increase inter-Arab trade and integration.

The announcement was made by the head of the Arab Customs Union Committee, Saud Al Jefeiri, who recently presided over a two-day meeting of the committee at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.

Participants in the meeting discussed the customs union plan and the structure of the customs union and reviewed the legal structure and regulations for the union. The union will lead to the establishment of an Arab common market.

Al Jefeiri, who represented Qatar at the meeting, said most Arab member countries agreed to put forward an implementing plan, Egypt and Morocco asked for an independent accord to govern the customs union.

The Arab customs union resolution contains 17 chapters and 179 articles regulating economic and trade relationship between Arab countries, and aims to boost trade and investment among member states

Mortgage modification is a process where the terms of a mortgage are modified outside the original terms of the contract agreed to by the lender and borrower (i.e. mortgagee and mortgagor in mortgage states; Trustee and Trustor in Trust Deed states). In general, any loan can be modified, and the process is referred to as loan modification or debt rescheduling.

Background
In the normal progression of a mortgage, payments are made according to the loan documents until the mortgage is paid in full (or paid off). The lender holds a lien on the property, and if the borrower sells the property before the mortgage is paid-off, the unpaid balance of the mortgage is paid to the lender to release the lien.  Any change to the mortgage terms is a modification. Changes may include any of the following: a reduction of the yield (commonly referred to as the interest rate), an extension of the payment term (ex. extending a 30-year term to a 40-year term), or a reduction of the principal balance of the loan.

In the United States
Following the 2007 real estate recession, the government mandated the program, Making Home Affordable (MHA), and its loan modification aspect, Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) became the answer for both the struggling borrower and the lender.  The lender is motivated to offer modification under this Program by the expectation that a loan in default will become a performing (current) loan which will be more valuable than the proceeds obtained from a foreclosure sale, along with receipt of financial incentives from the government.   The borrower, on the other hand, receives a fixed interest rate, a lower loan payment, often an extended term, and sometimes a principal reduction (if the property is upside down).

In Canada
The emergency loan-modification options give homeowners the potential to extend amortization periods on their homes if experiencing significant financial hardship or even when they’re facing foreclosure. These options can offer extensions up to a 40-year amortization, if a 15 year extension is granted on a previous 25-year amortization mortgage.

Gary Davies (born Gary Harding, 17 October 1982) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 2002 to 2012. He held the British bantamweight title in 2009.

Boxing career

Early professional career
Davies boxing career began on 1 June 2002, at the M.E.N. Arena when he was defeated by journeyman Steve Gethin by technical knock-out in the second round. His second fight on 5 October 2002, against Jason Thomas resulted in a first win and the year was topped off with a victory against Simon Chambers at the Liverpool Olympia. Davies did not fight at all in 2003 and in 2004 only fought once, winning against Furhan Rafiq. One more solitary fight in 2005 resulted in a second career loss for him, stopped in the fourth round at York Hall by Rocky Dean.

On 24 February 2006, Davies travelled to Scarborough and stopped Chris Hooper in the first round to win the Central Area super bantamweight belt, his first professional title. Despite never defending the title, Davies embarked upon a five fight unbeaten run. The run which included a draw against Barrington Brown and a second round stoppage of former British bantamweight champion Martin Power, resulted in Davies being given a shot at the full British title on 3 April 2009.

British champion
His opponent for the vacant championship was Welshman, Matthew Edmonds at York Hall.  Edmonds came into the contest with a record of 10–2 against Davies 8-2-1..  The title had been vacated by Ian Napa following a victory over Carmelo Ballone which saw him lift the European title. Davies eventually defeated Edmonds after knocking him down three times in the seventh round. The fight was televised on Friday Fight Night on Sky Sports. Davies lost the belt in his very first defence against former champion Ian Napa. Despite a close fight, Napa's experience fighting at championship level won the day with Davies cornermen left ruing mistakes made in the last two rounds of the fight which were to prove pivotal.

Comeback
On 19 March 2010, Davies returned to the ring and defeated another former British champion in Andy Bell. Bell, a former champion down at super flyweight level, was coming off a period of inactivity and a loss to unbeaten Paul Edwards. The fight did not hear the bell at the end of the first round, when following two knockdowns the referee ruled it off handing victory to Davies.

The Gentbrugge Formation (, abbreviation: Ge; named after the town of Gentbrugge in East Flanders) is a geologic formation in the west of Belgium. The formation crops out in East Flanders and West Flanders and also occurs in the subsurface of the Province of Antwerp. It consists of marine clay, silt and sand, deposited in the shallow sea that covered northern Belgium during the Ypresian age (around 50 million years ago, part of the early Eocene).

Description
The Gentbrugge Formation reaches its greatest thickness in the north of Belgium, where it can be maximally  thick. It is subdivided into three members. The base of the formation is formed by silty clay and clayey silt (Merelbeke Member). On top of this are laminae of silt (Pittem Member) and beds of very fine sand, disturbed by bioturbation (Vlierzele Member). The sands can have horizontal bedding as well as cross bedding, and are often lithified into sandstone.

Stratigraphy
The Gentbrugge Formation is part of the Ieper Group and is stratigraphically on top of the older Mons-en-Pévèle Formation (micaceous sandstone), another formation of the same group. On top of the Gentbrugge Formation are deposits of the Lutetian Zenne Group. In the north of Belgium this is often the Aalter Formation (marine clays and sands). In the south the Aalter Formation often lacks and the younger Brussel Formation (marine sand and marl) and Lede Formation (marine calcareous sand) can be found directly on top of the Gentbrugge Formation.

Bostock's Cup was a one-off British television comedy drama about a football team which appeared on ITV on the eve of the 1999 European Cup final. It was written by Chris England, directed by Marcus Mortimer and produced by Mark Robson. It starred Tim Healy as the club's manager, Neil Pearson as a veteran sportscaster, and Nick Hancock as his upstart rival. The film featured innovative use of old footage of 1970s football matches to recreate the era. It was aired on 25 May 1999.

Synopsis
Mike Tonker, a small-time sports journalist, is given the task of hosting a dinner gala honouring both Gerry Tudor, a well-known sports personality, and Bostock Stanley, a since-defunct football team. Tudor made a name for himself by producing and hosting a documentary about Stanley's 1973-74 season, which simultaneously saw them relegated from the Third Division with a record low points total, and yet getting to and winning that year's FA Cup final.

The film-within-a-film begins with Stanley appointing Bertie Masson, a journeyman old-school manager, with Masson's first act being to demote top scorer Alan Hardy from the captaincy and appoint hard man Mick Wallace to the position. Despite Stanley's hopeless league form, they manage to beat fellow Third Division strugglers Southport in the FA Cup, and then non-league Pontefract Athletic, despite the latter's 45-degree sloping pitch.

During the course of the dinner, Tonker gets a phone call from a mysterious informant, claiming to have information with which Tonker can ruin Tudor's career and advance his own. Tonker follows the instructions, and stumbles across an archive of unused footage from Tudor's film. When the film presentation resumes, it shows Stanley beating Chelsea in the fifth round, before recording suspicious victories against Hull City, where the Hull players suddenly become scared of the ball after Tudor arranges for a hypnotist to visit them, and then Leicester City, thanks in equal parts to a dazzling performance by a mysterious new player called Brian Parkinson (who is brought in at Tudor's recommendation after Hardy is pranked into submitting a transfer request, causing Masson to drop him from the team), and the referee demonstrating blatant bias against Leicester.

The FA Cup final sees Stanley coming up against First Division champions Leeds United, who are out to secure the Double. Against all the odds, and partly thanks to Wallace punching Billy Bremner in the groin just before kick-off, Stanley triumph 1–0.

After the film ends, Tonker reveals the additional footage, showing that Tudor bribed the referee in the Leicester match, illegally brought Brian Parkinson (actually an obscure member of Brazil's 1970 World Cup squad named Nero) into the country, and then secretly exploited a loophole in the leasehold to buy out Stanley's stadium, which he then demolished and replaced with a hotel, leading to Stanley going out of business before the 1974-75 season. Tudor weakly denies the accusations and then leaves, with Tonker expecting a promotion for his actions, only for his bosses to instead fire him for ruining the reputation of their most bankable star, as well as his needlessly humiliating Masson by showing a clip of his wife, Margaret, having sex with Tudor on Stanley's pitch (in turn causing Masson to dejectedly realise that his son, Trevor, is actually Tudor's son). He then discovers that his informant was actually Alan Hardy, who was bitter at Tudor over costing him a place in the final squad by bringing in "Parkinson."

Masson and the former players angrily confront Tudor in a bathroom, with Masson demanding to know the full extent of his meddling. Tudor confesses to his various misdeeds, but says that the only matches he actually played a part in rigging were the ones against Hull and Leicester, revealing that it was actually Leeds who bribed the referee in the cup final, and yet still lost. The Stanley players leave to celebrate, knowing their victory was still legitimate, while Masson tells Tudor that he will have to live with the consequences of his actions. Tudor, however, is confident that his career will soon recover, predicting that the worst thing that will happen is that he'll have to start working for Sky Sports.

Abbott Eliot Kittredge (July 20, 1834 – December 17, 1912), best known as A. E. Kittredge, was an American leader of the Presbyterian Church.

Born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, Kittredge graduated from Williams College in 1854; taught in Wilton, Connecticut, for a year, and graduated from the Andover Theological Seminary in 1859. He was ordained on September 14, 1859, as pastor of the Winthrop church, Charlestown, where he remained until 1863; he then led the Howard St. Presbyterian church in San Francisco, California, 1864 and was pastor of the Eleventh Presbyterian church of New York City from 1865 to 1870, and then of the Third Presbyterian church of Chicago, Illinois, from 1870 to 1886. His work in presiding over the Chicago congregation attracted nationwide attention. He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Williams College in 1878.

In 1896 he returned to New York city to lead the Madison Avenue Reformed church, until 1896. He was relieved of work for a time on account of ill health, and later, after extended travel, he again assumed the responsibility of the services.

He was twice married, his first wife having died in the late 1870s, and was survived by his second wife  and three daughters, including social worker Mabel Hyde Kittredge.
