The 1974 College Football All-America team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various organizations and writers that chose College Football All-America Teams in 1974. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) recognizes five selectors as "official" for the 1974 season. They are: (1) the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA); (2) the Associated Press (AP) selected based on the votes of sports writers at AP newspapers; (3) the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) selected by the nation's football writers; (4) the United Press International (UPI) selected based on the votes of sports writers at UPI newspapers; and (5) the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WC). Other selectors included Football News (FN), the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), The Sporting News (TSN), and Time magazine.

Six players were selected unanimously by all five of the official selectors.  The six unanimous All-Americans included running backs Archie Griffin of Ohio State (the 1974 Heisman Trophy winner), Joe Washington of Oklahoma, and Anthony Davis of USC.  On defense, the unanimous All-Americans were defensive back Dave Brown of Michigan, linebacker Rod Shoate of Oklahoma, and defensive end Randy White of Maryland.

The Ohio State and Oklahoma teams each had eight players who received first-team honors.  The Ohio State honorees were Archie Griffin, tight end Doug France, tackle Kurt Schumacher, center Steve Myers, defensive end Van DeCree, defensive tackle Pete Cusick, defensive back Neal Colzie, and punter Tom Skladany. The Oklahoma honorees were Joe Washington, Rod Shoate, receiver Tinker Owens, guard John Roush, center Kyle Davis, defensive tackle Lee Roy Selmon, middle guard Dewey Selmon, and defensive back Randy Hughes.

Michael Joseph Ready (April 9, 1893 – May 2, 1957) was an American prelate of the Catholic Church. He served as bishop of the Diocese of Columbus in Ohio from 1944 until his death.

Biography

Early life
The second youngest of 14 children, Michael Ready was born on April 9, 1893, in New Haven, Connecticut, to Michael T. and Mary A. (née Ellis) Ready. His parents were Irish immigrants who moved to the United States in the 1880s. In 1900, he and his family moved to Mansfield, Ohio, and later to Barberton, Ohio.

Ready studied at St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, at St. Bernard Seminary in Rochester, New York, and at St. Mary Seminary in Cleveland, Ohio.

Priesthood
Ready was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Cleveland by Bishop John Farrelly on September 14, 1918. He then served as an assistant pastor, teacher, and director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith in the diocese. In 1931, he was named Assistant general secretary of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, becoming its general secretary in 1936. He was raised to the rank of monsignor in 1934. During his time in Washington, Ready became friends with sports writer Bob Considine, baptizing his son in 1939.

In 1939, Ready joined Bishops John Gannon and James Griffin in a visit to Mexico to confer with Archbishop Luis Martínez.  They were discussing the founding of a seminary in Las Vegas, New Mexico, to supply priests for the Mexican Church, since seminaries were at that time illegal in that country. During the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s, Ready denounced the Spanish government for its anti-clerical policies.

Ready gave the benediction at the 1941 inauguration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Later that year, he met with Roosevelt after the latter made controversial remarks regarding the status of religious freedom in the Soviet Union.

In 1942, Ready declared that "the liberty and institutions" of the United States were threatened by the same "rampant totalitarian military forces which harass the Church and all that the Church has built," in an implicit reference to Japan. In 1944, Reverend Stanislaus Orlemanski returned to the United States from a visit to the Soviet Uniton to meet Premier Joseph Stalin, who signed his written support for religious freedom.  Ready described the priest's trip as "a political burlesque...staged and directed by capable Soviet agents," saying, "What we need from Stalin is his declaration of full religious freedom in Russia, not his signature." Ready also opposed military conscription in the United States, favoring volunteer recruiting

Bishop of Columbus

On November 11, 1944, Ready was appointed the fifth bishop of the Diocese of Columbus by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on December 14, 1944, from Archbishop Amleto Cicognani, with Archbishop John McNicholas and Bishop Edward Hoban serving as co-consecrators, at St. Matthew Cathedral in Washington, D.C. He was formally installed at St. Joseph's Cathedral on January 4, 1945.

One of Ready's first tasks was overseeing the erection of the Diocese of Steubenville from the eastern and southeastern portions of the Diocese of Columbus, as well as the consolidation of portions of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati into Columbus. He established the Catholic Welfare Bureau and appointed a director of charities for the diocese. Ready was a critic of the Ohio State University Board of Trustees decision in 1951 that all campus speakers had to be cleared by University President Howard L. Bevis in advance. During his tenure, Ready also served as chair of the Bishops' Committee on Motion Pictures; he reported that Hollywood produced more films with "wholesome and moral qualities" in 1952.

Ready also organized the Holy Name Society, a Parent-Teacher Organization, the Council of Catholic Women, the Catholic Youth Council, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society in the diocese. He created 18 new parishes and oversaw the construction of nine elementary and five high schools. Ready founded two nursing homes, the diocesan Child Guidance Center, and the Catholic Student Center at Ohio State University. He worked with his fellow Ohio bishops to start the Ohio Catholic Welfare Conference.

Ready died in Columbus from a cerebral hemorrhage on May 2, 1957, at age 64.  He was buried at St. Joseph Cemetery in Lockbourne, Ohio. Bishop Ready High School in Columbus is named in his honor.

John Winford Byers (22 March 1875 – 22 May 1966) was a Santa Monica architect and builder noted for use of the Spanish Colonial revival style.

Early life
Byers was born in Michigan. Byers, a graduate from Harvard University, was employed as a schoolteacher, teaching Spanish and French, at San Rafael High School and Santa Monica High School. Self-trained as a builder and architect, Byers completed his first commission, a house at 510 Lincoln Boulevard for W.F. Barnum, the principal of the Santa Monica High School in 1916.

Importance
Byers designed and built dozens of homes in Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Santa Monica from 1916 through 1946. He was fascinated with the native California architecture and its Mexican and Spanish roots. He was most notable for his "Adobe" designed buildings, having written several articles in the 1920s and 1930s on adobe construction and its influence in California architect. He studied the native building traditions of Hispanic cultures and went through a phase where he built houses of adobe and stucco. He established his own workshop, employing Mexican craftsmen who were masters at creating and installing the adobe brick, the decorative tile, wrought iron and woodwork that he used in his houses.

Some projects

Other dwellings were constructed in Coachella, Victorville, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills. Byers also constructed an adobe memorial recreation hall (Miles Playhouse) in Santa Monica, a clubhouse at Brentwood Park, and a building at the John Thomas Dye School.

He was also responsible for the adobe wall surrounding the landmarked Pascual Marquez Family Cemetery in Santa Monica Canyon.

Family life
When John Byers died in Santa Monica, at the age of 91 in 1966, he was based out of this Spanish Colonial Revival compound at 246 26th Street. Byers and his family lived in the house at 2034 La Mesa Drive for almost thirty years.

Cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) is a gene expression technique used in molecular biology to produce a snapshot of the 5′ end of the messenger RNA population in a biological sample (the transcriptome). The small fragments (historically 27 nucleotides long, but now limited only by sequencing technologies) from the very beginnings of mRNAs (5' ends of capped transcripts) are extracted, reverse-transcribed to cDNA, PCR amplified (if needed) and sequenced. CAGE was first published by Hayashizaki, Carninci and co-workers in 2003.
CAGE has been extensively used within the FANTOM research projects.

Analysis

The output of CAGE is a set of short nucleotide sequences (often called tags in analogy to expressed sequence tags) with their observed counts.  Copy numbers of CAGE tags provide a digital quantification of the RNA transcript abundances in biological samples.  Using a reference genome, a researcher can usually determine, with some confidence, the original mRNA (and therefore which gene) the tag was extracted from.

Unlike a similar technique serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) in which tags come from other parts of transcripts, CAGE is primarily used to locate exact transcription start sites in the genome. This knowledge in turn allows a researcher to investigate promoter structure necessary for gene expression.

CAGE tags tend to start with an extra guanine (G) that is not encoded in the genome, which is attributed to the template-free 5′-extension during the first-strand cDNA synthesis or reverse-transcription of the cap itself.  When not corrected, this can induce erroneous mapping of CAGE tags, for instance to nontranscribed pseudogenes. On the other hand, this addition of Gs was also utilised as a signal to filter more reliable TSS peaks.

History
The original CAGE method (Shiraki et al., 2003) was using CAP Trapper for capturing the 5′ ends, oligo-dT primers for synthesizing the cDNAs, the type IIs restriction enzyme MmeI for cleaving the tags, and the Sanger method for sequencing them.

Random reverse-transcription primers were introduced in 2006 by Kodzius et al. to better detect the non-polyadenylated RNAs.

In DeepCAGE (Valen et al., 2008), the tag concatemers were sequenced at a higher throughput on the 454 “next-generation” sequencing platform.

In 2008, barcode multiplexing was added to the DeepCAGE protocol (Maeda et al., 2008).

In nanoCAGE (Plessy et al., 2010), the 5′ ends or RNAs were captured with the template-switching method instead of CAP Trapper, in order to analyze smaller starting amounts of total RNA.  Longer tags were cleaved with the type III restriction enzyme EcoP15I and directly sequenced on the Solexa (then Illumina) platform without concatenation.

The CAGEscan methodology (Plessy et al., 2010), where the enzymatic tag cleavage is skipped, and the 5′ cDNAs sequenced paired-end, was introduced in the same article to connect novel promoters to known annotations.

With HeliScopeCAGE (Kanamori-Katayama et al., 2011), the CAP-trapped CAGE protocol was changed to skip the enzymatic tag cleavage and sequence directly the capped 5′ ends on the HeliScope platform, without PCR amplification.  It was then automated by Itoh et al. in 2012.

In 2012, the standard CAGE protocol was updated by Takahashi et al. to cleave tags with EcoP15I and sequence them on the Illumina-Solexa platform.

In 2013, Batut et al. combined CAP trapper, template switching, and 5′-phosphate-dependent exonuclease digestion in RAMPAGE to maximize promoter specificity.

In 2014, Murata et al. published the nAnTi-CAGE protocol, where capped 5′ ends are sequenced on the Illumina platform with no PCR amplification and no tag cleavage.

In 2017, Poulain et al. updated the nanoCAGE protocol to use the tagmentation method (based on Tn5 transposition) for multiplexing.

In 2018, Cvetesic  et al. increased the sensitivity of CAP-trapped CAGE by introducing selectively degradable carrier RNA (SLIC-CAGE, "Super-Low Input Carrier-CAGE").

In 2021, Takahashi et al. simplified the sequencing of CAGE libraries on Illumina sequencers by skipping second-strand synthesis directly loading single-strand cDNAs (Low Quantity Single Strand CAGE, "LQ-ssCAGE").

Tekle Haymanot Tesema, also known as Adal Tesema, Tekle Haymanot of Gojjam, and Tekle Haimanot of Gojjam (1847 – 10 January 1901), was King of Gojjam. He later was an army commander and a member of the nobility of the Ethiopian Empire.

Biography
Born Adal Tesema, Tekle Haymanot Tesema was the son of Tesema Goshu, Negus of Gojjam, which was a kingdom within the Ethiopian Empire. The title "King of Gojjam" was an honorific title.

Under Tekle Giyorgis
Dejazmach Tesema Goshu died during his son's minority.  As a result, a rival, and Gojam prince, of the Gojam imperial house, named Ras Desta Tadla assumed control in Gojjam and imprisoned Adal.  Adal eventually escaped to the lowlands and raised an army.  After returning to Gojjam and defeating Ras Desta, Adal submitted to Nəgusä Nägäst Tekle Giyorgis who confirmed him as the Shum of Gojjam and as Dejazmach.  The Nəgusä Nägäst even allowed Adal to marry his paternal sister, Laqetch Gebre Mehdin.

Under Yohannes IV
On 11 July 1871, Dejazmach Kassay Mercha defeated Nəgusä Nägäst Tekle Giyorgis and reinstated Ras Desta in Gojjam.  On 21 January 1872, Kassay Mercha became Nəgusä Nägäst Yohannes IV and left Gojjam.  Adal then returned to Gojjam and killed Desta. At that point, Adal had consolidated all of Gojjam under his rule.  In 1874, Adal submitted to Nəgusä Nägäst Yohannes IV.  Adal was now Ras Tekle Haymanot Tesema.

On 20 January 1881, in Debre Tabor, Nəgusä Nägäst Yohannes IV appointed Ras Tekle Haymanot Tesema as Negus of Gojjam Province and as Negus of Kaffa Province. However, the latter province was only his if he was able to conquer it.  Unfortunately for Ras Tekle Haymanot Tesema, Ras Menelik, Negus of Shewa, was also interested in Kaffa Province.  Yohannes provided Tekle Haymanot with 8,000 rifles to help with the conquest.

The Battle of Embabo

The followers of Negus Tekle Haymanot Tesema attempted to extend his control over the Kingdom of Kaffa.  But, on 6 June 1882, his forces were defeated at the Battle of Embabo by the superior forces of Negus Menelik. Tekle Haymanot Tesema was captured and Menelik gained the upper hand in Kaffa.  But Yohannes intervened and, while allowing Menelik to have Kaffa, he made Menelik give Wollo Province to Ras Araya Selassie Yohannes, his legitimate son.

Destruction and submission
In January 1887 Negus Tekle Haymanot defeated the Mahdists in a battle somewhere between Gederaf and Gallabat. In revenge, the following year the Mahdists under the command of Abu Anga campaigned into Ethiopia with an Army the size of 81,000 men. Their objective was the Historical town of Gondar. Tekle Haymanot confronted him at Sar Weha (in Dembiya) on 18 January 1888, but was defeated.

Austrian Catholic missionary Joseph Ohrwalder, who witnessed the battle, said that Tekle Haymanot's forces fought with "the courage of Lions" to protect their country and religion from the Muslim invaders, but they were overwhelmed by the larger and better equipped Mahdist army.

As a result of this loss, northwestern Ethiopia was open to the Mahdists who followed up their victory by entering, sacking, and burning Gondar.

Joseph Ohrwalder testified to the brutality that took place during the sack of Gondar:Emperor Yohannes IV ordered Negus Menelik and his Shewan army into Gojjam and Begemder.  Sensing a shift in power, Negus Tekle Haymanot Tesema negotiated a defensive alliance with Menelik.  After Menelik secured Gojjam and Begemder, Yohannes ordered him to return to Shewa.

In September 1888, when Tekle Haymanot Tesema refused to contribute forces to the efforts of Yohannes against Mahdist who had re-entered western Gojjam, Yohannes suspected Tekle Haymanot and Menelik of plotting against him.  To destroy the power of Tekle Haymanot, the army of Yohannes laid waste to much of Gojjam.  As a result of the destruction, Tekle Haymanot submitted to Yohannes.

Under Menelik II
In 1889, soon after the death of Yohannes at the Battle of Gallabat, Menelik proclaimed himself Nəgusä Nägäst Menelik II.  Negus Tekle Haymanot pledged his allegiance to the new Nəgusä Nägäst.  Menelik reinstated Tekle Haymanot as Shum of Gojjam and named him as an advisor.

Battle of Adwa

In 1896, Negus Tekle Haymanot fought at the Battle of Adwa on the side of Menelik. During the battle of Adwa he commanded 8,000 riflemen, 15,000 spearmen and 700 cavalry.

Death

Ultimately Emperor Menelik determined that Gojjam was too valuable a province to be held by one man and, upon the death of Tekle Haymanot, Menelik divided Gojjam into three parts.  He assigned the three parts to different men responsible to him.  One of the men came from Shewa.

Tekle Haymanot Tesema was the father of at least three sons and four daughters.  His sons were as follows: Bezabah, Hailu, and Balaw.  One of his sons, Ras Hailu Tekle Haymanot, succeeded him as Hailu II of Gojjam.

Cirsium crassicaule is a species of thistle known by the common name slough thistle. It is endemic to the San Joaquin Valley of California, where it is known primarily from freshwater wetlands. It has been found in only a few locations in Kern, Kings, and San Joaquin Counties.

Cirsium crassicaule is an annual or biennial herb known to reach 300 cm (10 feet) in height. The thick stem is hollow and may be nearly 10 centimeters (4 inches) wide at the base. It is coated in hairs and cobwebby fibers. The woolly, webby, spiny leaves are deeply cut into many lobes, the lobes often lined with teeth. The longest leaves near the base of the plant may be 70 centimeters (28 inches) long.

The inflorescence is a cluster of several flower heads each up to 3 centimeters long by 3 wide. The head is lined with spiny phyllaries and filled with pale pink or occasionally white flowers. The fruit is an achene with a flat, dark brown body about 5 millimeters long and topped with a pappus which may be 2 centimeters in length.

Edward Morse (born 1870; date of death unknown) was an English 19th-century footballer. He played 46 games (including 13 in the Football League and 25 in the Midland League) for Burslem Port Vale in the late 1890s.

Career
Morse joined Burslem Port Vale in February 1895. His debut came, rather unfortunately, in a 10–0 defeat at Notts County on 26 February; this was his only Second Division appearance of the 1894–95 season. He became a first-team regular from March 1896, playing 12 league games at the end of the 1895–96 campaign. However, he failed to rejoin the club after the 1897–98 season, despite the club retaining him. Perhaps this was in part to his experiences that season; he was 'hurled under the waggonette' by the crowd after Vale won 1–0 at Doncaster Rovers on 27 March 1897 in a Midland League match, and he was also sent off the next week at the Athletic Ground in a 1–0 loss to Ilkeston Town after punching an opponent who Morse claimed bit him on the nose.

Mount Warburton Pike is a mountain on Saturna Island in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada.  It is the highest summit in the Gulf Islands, other than Saltspring Island, and is part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.

Name origin
The mountain is named for Warburton Pike (1861–1915), who alienated land on Saturna in 1886 and whose ranch included the mountain.  Pike was an explorer, sportsman and author and wrote a book on his experiences in the Canadian North, The Barren Ground of Northern Canada.  Pike's death was untimely and tragic.  After returning to Britain to enlist for World War I and, being refused because he was too old, died by suicide.  The summit and a rock in Active Pass were named for him, and a memorial was erected at Porter Landing in the Dease Lake region, where he had ventured in his years in B.C. The monument was donated by his friends Osborne Beauclerk, 12th Duke of St Albans and Marshall Latham Bond.

Namgwangju station ("South Gwangju station") is a station on Gwangju Metro Line 1, located at Hak-dong 994 in Dong-gu, Gwangju, South Korea. It opened for service on April 28, 2004.

It lies at the site of the former Korail Namgwangju station, which had opened as Singwangju station in 1936 and been renamed Namgwangju in 1938. That station was closed in 2000 as part of the realignment of the Gyeongjeon Line.

Neighborhood
Namgwangju is historically a transportation hub and the gateway to southern Gwangju and Hwasun-gun (county), including the routes to Jeungsimsa Temple and Mudeungsan. The station serves the commercial district surrounding the South Gwangju General Market (Namgwangju Market), which opened in 1975 to serve the Yeosu, Boseong, and Jangheung areas.

Traffic in this area tends to be jammed during rush hours as educational institutions, including Jeonnam Medical School, Chosun University, and Chosun College of Nursing; and governmental and public offices such as the Military Manpower Administration and the Dong-gu government office; are clustered around this station.

Daniel Joseph Keefe (September 27, 1852 – January 2, 1929) was a founder and the first president of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), a trade union representing waterside workers in Canada and the United States of America.

Early life
Born in Willow Springs, Illinois the son of a teamster (wagon driver) of Irish ancestry, Daniel Keefe left school in the fourth grade and began working on the Chicago waterfront. In 1877, Keefe organized fellow workers into the Association of Lumber Handlers (ALH) and in 1882 was elected leader of the organization. While successful in expanding membership of the organization, from the start Keefe was considered conservative within the labour movement, focusing on winning wage rises and keeping the ALH away from broader trade union struggles of the time, notably the Eight-Hour Day movement during the 1880s.

Emergence, growth and leadership of the International Longshoremen's Association
In 1892 at a convention in Detroit, eleven local unions representing waterside workers from the Great Lakes region formed a single organization, the National Longshoremen's Association of the United States, and elected Daniel Keefe as president. By 1895 following recruitment of workers in Canada, the organization was renamed the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and Keefe affiliated the union to the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Under Keefe's leadership the union grew from 50,000 members in 1900 to 100,000 members by 1905, including expanding membership outside the Great Lakes region across the United States.

Leadership style, break from the AFL and departure from ILA
According to de la Pedraja: "[Keefe] was a shrewd negotiator with employers...and was able to obtain modest concessions for the Longshoremen." Because of the modest nature of these gains, some unions viewed Keefe's actions as company unionism. However, in the context of waterside workers coming under attack from employers elsewhere, especially New York City, Keefe's approach was accepted by others. Yet, it is acknowledged that Keefe was a conservative trade union leader who maintained strict control over the union and refused to endorse the Democratic Party in United States national politics. This eventually led to his conflicting with other elements of the ILA and following his endorsement of Republican William Taft in the 1908 Presidential Election, rather than face an inevitable loss of position, he resigned following Taft's victory and accepted the position of Commissioner–General of Immigration in the new administration.

Later career in public administration
Daniel Keefe was part of a succession of trade union leaders who took the position of Commissioner General of Immigration. Stanford Lyman argues that Keefe fitted the role, like his predecessors, because of nativist views and a willingness to use the post to enforce exclusion of migrant workers, especially from China. Keefe resigned from the position on May 31, 1913, and took a position in the Department of Labor for the rest of the decade. From 1921 to 1925 he worked at the United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation handling labour disputes.

Daniel Keefe died on January 2, 1929, in Elmhurst, Illinois.

He scored his only goal for the club in a 2–3 home defeat against Morecambe on 1 May. Later that month, he signed a new one-year contract.

He signed a contract with Dutch club Den Bosch in spring 2011. On 2 February 2015, Van den Broek signed with Romanian Liga I side Universitatea Cluj.

Mario Puratić (1904 - 1993) (usually spelled Puretic, and sometimes Puretich, in English) was an Austro-Hungarian Empire-born American inventor who made major advances in fishing technology, such as the Puretic power block.

Puratić was born in 1904 in the town of Sumartin on the island of Brač in a Croatian family of farmers and fishermen.
In 1938 he emigrated to the United States, worked at steel works and later in the harbour of Brooklyn.
Looking for the open sea after World War II he moved to California, to San Pedro, where many people from Brač had moved to. He hired there on tuna fisher boats and trawlers. A good catch of fish, meant that many men were necessary to pull the net on board.

Within a few months, during 1953 in San Pedro he invented the Puretic power block. A job which once needed 8 to 10 people could now equally quickly be done with only 5 or 6 people, but still no one was interested in the product.

In 1955 the company Marco from Seattle, specialized in sea building and design, recognized the potential of his invention and its engineers produced a product for practical use called the Power Block. It has a form of evening pulley with aluminium skeleton and the central rotating element, often wrapped in hard rubber, which can work. Quality of the product was very quickly recognized and up until 1960, most fishing boats in the northern seine fleet had installed the power block. It made possible the renaissance of the moribund United States distant water tuna fleet, an event that put the United States into the forefront of the fishing world and has kept it there, helped by the adoption of synthetic fibers for netting.

Due to his invention, Peru increased its fishing pelagic fish by 300 percent.

The puretic power block revolutionized the fishing industry in such a way that FAO stated that no single invention has contributed more to the success of purse seine net hauling than extensive line of Power Blocks.
In 1972 Canada issued a five-dollar bill with a salmon seiner on the reverse.
In 1975, Mario Puratić was proclaimed the inventor of the year in the United States and also one among America's most famous 100 inventors of the 20th century.

(John) Brian Harley ( – ) was a geographer, cartographer, and map historian at the universities of Birmingham, Liverpool, Exeter and Wisconsin–Milwaukee. He helped found the History of Cartography Project and was the founding co-editor of the resulting The History of Cartography. In recent years, Harley's work has gained broad prominence among geographers and social theorists, and it has contributed greatly to the emerging discipline of critical cartography.

Biography
Harley was born in Ashley, Gloucestershire. From 1943 to 1950 he attended Brewood Grammar School near Wolverhampton. After national service Harley gained a place at Birmingham University in 1952. After gaining his Dip Ed from University College, Oxford in 1956, he returned to Birmingham, gaining a PhD in 1960 for work on the historical geography of medieval Warwickshire.

Harley married Amy Doreen in 1957. He began teaching at Queensbridge School, Moseley, but was offered an assistant lecturership in geography at Liverpool University and took up the post in January 1959. In Liverpool Harley turned to the history of cartography, producing Christopher Greenwood, County Map-Maker (1962).

In 1969 Harley resigned from Liverpool to become an editor with publishers David and Charles in Newton Abbot. Harley commissioned a number of works, but by March 1970 he was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Exeter, becoming Montefiore Reader in 1972. In 1972, he published Maps for the local historian which introduced the use of maps to many amateur historians.

His main focus at Exeter was the history of the Ordnance Survey. He produced notes for the David and Charles reprints of the first edition one-inch maps, wrote Ordnance Survey Maps: a Descriptive Manual (1975), and a substantial part of the official history of the Ordnance Survey (1978).

From the 1970s Harley turned to a philosophical view of maps. In 1985 he was awarded a DLitt by the University of Birmingham.

Harley served on the council of the Institute of British Geographers (1971–74). But despite his academic distinction, he didn't secure promotion in Britain. After the death of his wife and son, Harley relocated to the United States in 1986, when he was appointed professor of geography at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Here he worked on the multi-volume History of Cartography with David Woodward. He was also involved in controversies over the Columbus celebrations, writing Maps and the Columbian Encounter (1990), and was due to give twelve public lectures on the topic in 1992.

Harley died suddenly of a heart attack on 20 December 1991. He was cremated in Milwaukee, and his ashes were interred at Newton Abbot, Devon.  Shortly before he died he proposed a new book combining a selection of essays, eventually published in 2001 as The New Nature of Maps (ed. P. Laxton).

Legacy
The J. B. Harley Research Trust was set up in London in 1992. This trust provides Harley Fellowships to permit scholars from around the world to conduct advanced research in the history of cartography at archives and libraries throughout the United Kingdom.

Berliner BC 03 was a German association football club from the city of Berlin. In the 1920s and 1930s, the club was known as BBC Brandenburg 92 Berlin and then FV Brandenburg 92 Berlin before eventually becoming part of a later side VfB Lichterfelde.

History
The team was established 18 November 1903 and played in the Oberliga Berlin-Brandenburg (I) for nearly a decade. Sent down in 1905 after their first season in the top flight, BBC returned a year later and played as a middling side until just before the outbreak of World War I. They earned a second-place result in 1913 and then finished the 1913–14 campaign atop their division. That earned BBC a place on the national stage: they advanced to the semifinals where they were put out 3:4 by eventual German champions SpVgg Fürth.

During this period BBC made a string of Berliner Pokal (Berlin Cup) appearances, advancing to the final in 1907 and 1909. Both of these matches ended in defeat at the hands of Viktoria 89 Berlin (0:2, 0:4).

During the war BBC played four seasons (1914–18) alongside Berliner Turnverein von 1850 as Kriegsvereinigung Berlin with their best result coming as a second-place finish in 1915. The club was relegated at the end of the 1917–18 season and continued to compete as a lower-tier side. On 22 July 1921, they merged with Sportverein Brandenburg 92 Berlin to become Berliner Ballspiel-Club Brandenburg 92 Berlin, which played the 1924–25 season in the Oberliga Berlin. In 1926 they were briefly joined by Sportclub Brandenburg 1922 Berlin which broke away again that same year to form Berliner BC 1926.

In 1929 the club adopted the name Fußballverein Brandenburg 92 Berlin and in 1933 was joined by the membership of Fußball-Club Eintract Lankwitz. Following World War II, most organizations in the country, including sports and football clubs, were dissolved by occupying Allied authorities and FV briefly disappeared. The former membership was re-organized as Sportgemeinde Steglitz-Friedenau in 1945 before the club resumed its pre-war identity in 1950. On 4 June 1971, FV joined Fußball-Club 1912 Lichterfelde to become FV Brandenburg-Lichterfeld. On 2 June 1988 FV merged with Lichterfelder Sport-Union to create VfB, which merged with Viktoria Berlin in 2013 to become FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin.

Alfred Balitzer is an American professor of government at Claremont Graduate University.

He graduated from California State University, Los Angeles, and from the University of Chicago with a master of arts degree. He completed his Ph.D. in government at CGU in 1971.
He has been involved in numerous political campaigns throughout California and the nation, such as director of the Republican National Committee under President Ronald Reagan, and chairman of Scholars for Reagan-Bush in 1984. President Reagan appointed Dr. Balitzer Special Ambassador to Brunei (special emissary to the Sultan of Brunei).

Balitzer was Dean of Faculty and Professor of Political Philosophy at Soka University of America from 2001 to 2003.  He was asked to resign his dean position by Soka University of America President Daniel Habuki after a student sit-in, which was reportedly spurred by an inflammatory email he wrote about Professor Joe McGinniss.

Balitzer has published a number of monographs on American political institutions and practices over the years, including on such subjects as political action committees, the initiative and referendum and redistricting. He played a leading role in preventing efforts to make the District of Columbia a state.  He also published frequently on issues concerning American government, among them American religion, grassroots politics, the role and impact of minority populations and demographic changes on American politics, and American foreign and military policy.

Fan Wen (, ) was the King of Champa from 336 to 349. Fan Wen was the commander in chief to Fan Yi, and, after Fan Yi's death in 336, he seized the throne. In 340, he sent an embassy to Eastern Jin dynasty of China to request the province of Jiaozhi. His request was denied, and so Fan Wen recaptured Rinan in 347. He died two years later on another campaign.

Fan Wen was an ethnic Chinese sold into slavery as a child to a barbarian chieftain. Legend states he caught two carp while tending goats, and hid them from his master. He was surprised to see them turned into two stones, one of which had iron in it. He forged two sabres and prayed, "If I split this rock when I hit it, let the divine virtue embodied in it make me a king." At fifteen, he fled and sought refuge with a Cham merchant, traveling to Western Jin dynasty of China in 315, before settling in Champa. He then entered the employ of Fan Yi, using his knowledge of martial art and city fortifications. He used the trust he gained to alienate Fan Yi from his children.

He received his education in Vienna, and following graduation remained in Vienna as a secondary school teacher. In 1884 he began work as an assistant at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. In 1887 he became an associate professor of ancient history at the University of Heidelberg, where in 1890 he attained full professorship.

The SS Chusan was a British ocean liner and cruise ship, built for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's Indian and Far East Service in 1950. She was named after Chusan, a small island off China. A smaller version of the , the Chusan had a gross register tonnage of 24,215;  and a capacity of 1,565 passengers and crew. She was built as a replacement for the , lost in the Second World War. She was  long. The Chusan is said to have brought new standards of shipboard luxury to India and the Far East. She was the last passenger liner built for P & O by Vickers-Armstrongs.

Chusan entered service in 1950, with her maiden voyage from London, England to Bombay, India. But she first made two "shake down" "all first class trips", one of a week's length and the other of a fortnight, sailing to Lisbon, Casablanca and Madeira. For most of her working life, she carried passengers between London, Bombay, and Japan, but from 1963 also operated to Sydney, Australia. In 1973, she retired from service and was sold to be scrapped at Chou’s Iron and Steel Company Ltd. in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Dimensions
The Chusan was  long, roughly the same length as two football fields laid end-to-end,  and had a beam (breadth) of .
Her draught (vertical distance of ship from waterline to keel) was . She was twin-screw configured.
Two masts, one at the bow and one aft, were present on the Chusan. She had one funnel.
The Chusan carried eighteen lifeboats, nine on each side.
Her capacity was 988 passengers and 577 crew, for a total of 1,565 people, though the passenger capacity was changed twice between the two classes (first class and tourist/second class).

Planning and construction (1946-1950)
Chusan was ordered in May 1946 and was built by Vickers Armstrong Ltd., Barrow (yard number #964) in the port of Furness, England. In February 1947, her keel was laid, and was launched on 28 June 1949 and christened by the wife of Viscount Bruce of Melbourne.  In June 1950, she underwent sea trials, and was delivered to P&O on 14 June 1950. The Chusan was the largest and last ship built for the Far East Services of P&O. A notable feature of the ship is that it was the first passenger ship to be equipped with anti-roll stabilizers.

Four transatlantic crossings were scheduled for Chusan under charter to Cunard Line. However, a delay occurred, and therefore her first voyage was to Rotterdam for the purpose of carrying British officials to a freight conference. The four transatlantic voyages were provided by the .

Ownership by P&O (1950-1970)

Chusan'''s maiden voyage was a nine-day cruise from Southampton to Madeira and Lisbon beginning on 1 July 1950. On 15 September 1950 she then made a voyage from London to Bombay via the Suez Canal. The service for which Chusan was intended commenced on 7 November 1950, from London to Hong Kong. After this, she would continue to the Far East, along with the ships , , and . In November 1950, Chusan resumed P&O's service to Japan, and made the first call after World War 2 at Yokohama. In December 1951 she carried the first batch of Malayan student teachers to England to begin their training at Kirkby College in Lancashire. The journey started in Hong Kong, picked up the student teachers in Singapore and Penang on 12 December and arrived in London on New Year's Day, 1952.Chusan was fitted with a Thornycroft funnel top in May 1952. This was done to reduce the deposit of soot and smut on her decks. The job was done by R&H Green and Silley Weir Ltd. at London.

On 12 June 1953, Chusan accidentally collided with the freighter Prospector, off the Goodwin Sands in the English Channel.  The collision tore a  breach in her hull. Consequently, she returned to London for two days of repairs.

In April 1954, Chusan departed London for a world cruise lasting 92 days, which was a first for the P&O Line.

In March 1955, another incident occurred, which involved bringing a smallpox-infected passenger to Port Said, Egypt. A bomb hoax during a Mediterranean cruise occurred on 2 September 1955, and the ship returned to Naples to be searched.

Passenger capacity was changed to 464 in first class and 541 in tourist (second) class in the year 1959. Chusan was refitted from December 1959 throughout March 1960, which involved the installation of air conditioning throughout the ship. She was transferred to P&O-Orient Lines in May 1960. Chusan was taken off Far East passenger service for use on cruises, before being again transferred to a regular service from Australia to Yokohama, with an intermediate port of call at Hong Kong.

In October 1966, she was again transferred back to P&O Lines. Passenger capacity was again changed to 455 in first class and 517 in tourist class.

Final Years (1970-1973)
The P&O's association with India ended in January 1970, with a voyage by Chusan on the final London to India service route. While docked in Southampton in July of that year, a fire occurred in her funnel uptakes. She was transferred to the P&O Passenger Division in 1971, and from December of that year to January 1972, she operated on P&O's first cruises starting from Cape Town, South Africa.

Her final commercial voyage ended on 26 March 1973, when she arrived in Southampton. She was retired from service soon after and was sold to Mitsui & Co. In turn, Chusan was sold to Chou's Iron and Steel Company Ltd. for scrapping. She arrived there on 1 July 1973, after a service life of 23 years. Demolition of Chusan at the scrapyard began in September 1973.

An engraving of the Chusan was featured on the obverse of the "Ship Series" $100 banknote issued by Singapore between 1984 and 1999.

Leo Funtek (August 21, 1885 – January 13, 1965) was a Slovenian violinist, conductor and arranger. He is best known for work as a music professor and for his 1922 arrangement of Modest Mussorgsky's piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition.

Funtek was born in Ljubljana, Austria-Hungary.  He received his musical education at the Leipzig Conservatory (now the Felix Mendelssohn College of Music and Theatre) and Leipzig University.

Funtek spent most of his working life in Finland, where he was conductor of the Finnish Opera.  He was concertmaster with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra from 1906 to 1909, and then was orchestra director of the Viipuri orchestra from 1909 to 1910.  His most prominent role as a practicing musician was as conductor of the Finnish Opera from 1915 to 1959.  He also served as assistant concertmaster for the Stockholm court orchestra from 1916 to 1919.

In addition to his work as a practicing musician, Funtek was an academician. His first such post was from 1911 to 1939, at the Helsinki Institute of Music (now the Sibelius Academy), where he taught violin, ensemble and orchestration.  He later taught at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, where he was a professor of violin at from 1939 to 1955,  and where he also taught the conducting class from 1950 to 1955.  He is credited with the introduction of orchestral training into the conducting class.  Funtek's students included Jorma Panula, who himself went to become a leading professor of conducting; as well as Helvi Leiviskä (1902–1982) and Heidi Sundblad-Halme (1903–1973), two of Finland's most prominent female composers; and the composer Usko Meriläinen.

As an arranger, Funtek is best known for his orchestral arrangement of Pictures at an Exhibition, which he published in July 1922, just months before an orchestration by the French composer Maurice Ravel, of whose project Funtek was seemingly unaware.  Ravel's orchestration premiered in October 1922, and is now by far the most-performed of the several orchestrations of the suite. In contrast to other orchestrations, Funtek's adheres closely to Mussorgsky's original piano version.

Funtek was married to Finnish soprano Ingeborg Liljeblad.  He died in Helsinki.

Mount Jurupa is the highest point of the Jurupa Mountains, located in northwestern Riverside County, California. The summit is just south of the Riverside – San Bernardino county line. A hiking trail leads to its summit, which offers panoramic views of Riverside, Fontana, San Bernardino, and Moreno Valley.

In a small canyon at the base of the mountain is the Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center, a non-profit educational facility that includes nature trails, gardens, and an Earth Science Museum.

The name can be traced to the Jurupa land grant dated September 28, 1838. Before the secularization of the missions, Jurupa was the name of one of the Mission San Gabriel ranchos. Jarupa was probably a Serrano or Gabrielino Shoshonean name.
