Birzgale Parish () is an administrative territorial entity of the Ogre Municipality, Latvia.
The entire parish is on the left bank of the Daugava, in the region of Semigallia. The parish borders with Tome Parish, Vecumnieki Municipality Vecumnieki Parish and Valle Parish, Jaunjelgava Municipality Jaunjelgava, its rural territory and Sērene Parish, along Daugava with Skrīveri Municipality, Lielvārde Municipality Lielvārde city, its rural territory and Jumprava Parish.

History

In the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia in the 16th century Linde Manor belonged to Pletenberg family, in 1567 the Linde-Birzgale parish region was formed, which later belonged to . In 1752, the pastoral manor house Gotthard Friedrich Stenders burned down completely. The pastoral manor burned down for the second time in 1824, when the entire church archive was destroyed.
In 1769, Linde's landlord designated four villages as the pastors of the pastor's manor, later the classrooms were leased, and in 1892 the house was sold to the landlords.
The parish church was restored several times, in 1867 the church tower with stone foundations was built, in 1894 the sacristy destroyed by fire was restored and in 1896 part of the church was rebuilt.
Even before abolition of serfdom in Livonia in 1816, the owner of Linde (Daugava) manor Sophia von Mengden published three law books for her people, namely, "Duties, Works and Hearings of Linde and Birzgale Parishes" (1796), "Soldiers 'or Recruits' Messli" (1805) and "Linde and Birzgale Farmer's or Parish Court" (1805).
Linde (Daugava) manor with Birzgale half-manor was located in the territory of the parish, later Alstiķi manor ( Gut Halswigshof ), Kalna manor ( Berghof ), Kannenieki manor ( Gut Kanenneken ). During the land reform of 1920, Birzgale-Linde manor and pastor's manor were divided into 178 units in a total area of 3,200 hectares.

In 1935, the area of Birzgale Parish (until 1925 "Lindes Parish") was 207.5 km. In 1945, Birzgale, Daugaviešu, Degļupe and Oškalnes village council were established in the parish, but in 1949 the parish was liquidated. In 1954, the liquidated village of Oškalne was added to Birzgale village, but in 1956 the territory of Valles village kolkhoz "Jaunā gvarde" was added. In 1974, part of the territory of Birzgale village was added to Daugavieši village. In 1977, the territories were exchanged with Vecumnieki Municipality. The territory of the liquidated Daugavieši village was added in 1979.  In 1990, the village was reorganized into a parish.  In 2009, Birzgale parish was included in Ķegums Municipality.

Inner Harbour is a neighbourhood located in downtown Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The Inner Harbour district is bounded by Joseph Street to the north, Princess Street to the south, Division Street on the west and the Cataraqui River on the east. The area is within the King's Town District. The District is represented on Kingston City Council by Councillor Rob Hutchison for the 2010-14 term of office.

The average family income for the area is $45,715  which is lower than the city average. The Inner Harbour area consists primarily of working-class families with commercial activity focused primarily along Princess and Queen Streets on the south side of the neighbourhood.

In the past the demographics of the Inner Harbour in addition to other north Kingston neighbourhoods contributed to local negativity toward living "north of Princess". The term refers to areas located on the north side of Princess Street, which is the main east–west thoroughfare through Kingston, and runs the length of the city as it is Highway 2 through town. In recent years the socio-demographic nature of this area has changed as increasing levels of gentrification and some studentification (the social and environmental changes caused by increasing numbers of post-secondary students living in a particular urban area) has taken place in some of these neighbourhoods.

The areas proximity to downtown Kingston means it has many good examples of 19th century heritage buildings constructed of local limestone. It is also home to Leon's Centre, a large venue entertainment and sporting arena. The La Salle Causeway which enters the Inner Harbour neighbourhood at the foot of Ontario Street is also the main link between Kingston and its eastern suburbs. It consists of three bridges, one of which is a lift bridge allowing boats access to the Cataraqui River, Inner Harbour and Rideau Canal system linking Kingston with Ottawa.

The Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER) is a research center under the Office of Research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) whose mission is to preserve regional biodiversity and restore ecosystems on campus lands. CCBER has three main functions: curation and preservation of natural history collections, native coastal ecosystem and habitat restoration on campus lands, and education and outreach for both UCSB students and local community schools.

History
In 1954, a UCSB faculty member, Dr. Cornelius H. Muller, founded a herbarium to be used for research and teaching. Another faculty member, Mary Erickson, founded a vertebrate collection with similar goals. In 1995, the two facilities merged to become the Museum of Systematics and Ecology (MSE). In 2005, MSE teamed up with the UCSB ecological restoration program, whose director was Wayne Ferren, to become CCBER. CCBER's first director was Jennifer Thorsch, a botanical researcher at UCSB.

CCBER was named after Vernon and Mary Cheadle. Vernon Cheadle was the chancellor at UCSB between 1962 and 1977, but also a botanist who, along with Katherine Esau, contributed thousands of specimens to CCBER's natural history collections. Vernon Cheadle and Katherine Esau formed a research partnership at UC Davis in 1950, and when Cheadle became the chancellor of UCSB in 1962, Esau followed so they could continue their collaboration. Katherine Esau, a pioneering plant anatomist, focused much of her work on phloem, the food conducting cells in higher plants. Esau published numerous award-winning botany textbooks, including "Plant Anatomy," published in 1953. The Cheadle and Esau families have made generous donations that have ensured the long-term operation of CCBER.

The current senior staff at CCBER are: Katja Seltmann (Kathrine Esau Director), Lisa Stratton (Director of Ecosystem Management), and Gregory Wahlert (Shirley Tucker Curator of Biodiversity Collections and Botanical Research).

Projects and Programs

Ecological Restoration
CCBER conducts varying amounts of native ecosystem and habitat restoration and management on over 300 acres of open-space on the UCSB campus, between the Goleta Slough and Elwood Mesa in Goleta, California. The open space areas are used for multiple purposes, such as ecosystem and native habitat restoration and conservation, education, research, outreach, and community involvement.

According to Section 30607.1 of the California Coastal Act, when UCSB plans to develop and potentially damage land, specifically wetlands, they must undertake restoration projects on separate pieces of land of equal or greater area and biological productivity in order to mitigate the ecological impacts of construction. Many of these restoration efforts are handed over to CCBER, including San Clemente wetland, the lot 38 bioswale, North Bluff and the Campus Lagoon.

Some of the open space areas managed by CCBER already contained portions of intact native vegetation and/or wetlands that are protected by the Clean Water Act and Coastal Act, as well as areas that are being restored after significant human impacts, such as North Bluff, Campus Lagoon, Manzanita Village, Storke Wetlands, San Clemente wetlands, and the 136-acre (55 ha) North Campus Open Space. While many of CCBER's restoration projects are products of this agreement, many are also volunteer based restoration projects. Examples of CCBER's volunteer based restoration projects include parts of Campus Lagoon, and most of North Campus Open Space.

CCBER's management areas include: East Bluff, Campus Lagoon, Lot 38 Bioswale, Manzanita Village, North Bluff, North Campus Open Space (NCOS), North Parcel, San Clemente, San Joaquin, Sierra Madre, South Parcel, and Storke Wetland. The open spaces managed by CCBER are characterized by coastal dune, oak woodland, coastal sage scrub, grassland, and wetland ecosystems.

Restoration methods include non-native species removal, reintroduction of native species, and often the creation of wetland features such as bioswales and vernal pools. In some cases, the restoration involves the removal or conversion of structures built during previous uses or ownership of the land. For example, nearly half of the area that comprises NCOS was the site of a former golf course before CCBER began restoring the wetland and upland habitats that previously existed there.

Natural History Collections
CCBER runs the UCSB Natural History Collection, which houses around half a million individual plant, insect, and vertebrate specimens including: invertebrates, mammals, birds, reptiles, vascular plants, algae, and lichen. This collection is maintained by CCBER for educational, research, and outreach purposes.

The UCSB Natural History Collections at CCBER provide data for research and support mentoring and training for collection curators and student-driven research projects.

"Capturing California's Flowers," one of CCBER's current projects made possible through a National Science Foundation grant, will allow CCBER to digitize more than 900,000 plant specimens. Digitalization of these specimens will make them available online for anyone to use for research and education.

Another National Science Foundation grant of $4.3 million will allow Katja Seltmann, the center's Collections Director, to investigate terrestrial parasite species. Investigation of these species is conducted because arthropods are major carriers of diseases to humans worldwide, and scientists like Seltmann are investigating how they will respond to the shifting climate. Seltmann uses an online data server called Ontobee to share data with the 27 other research institutions working on the Terrestrial Parasite Tracker project.

CCBER also conducts research by monitoring wildlife, partnered with iNaturalist and the Audubon Society.

Access to Collections and Research

For over 60 years CCBER's collections have contributed to the research and educational missions of UCSB. Natural history collections and collection-based research are vital to discovering, understanding, and documenting biodiversity and to inform public policy on such issues as invasive species, climate change, evolution, and emerging public health threats. Natural history collections represent the irreplaceable documentation of life on Earth.

CCBER's collections are available for use by university faculty, researchers, staff, and students as well as community members, including biological consultants, governmental agencies, K-12 educators and their students. The digitalization of CCBER's collection will make their specimens available to a global audience.

CCBER is conducting research to help understand how ecosystems will shift as a result of climate change, with a goal of developing adaptation and mitigation strategies. CCBER's primary research areas include the Coastal Ecosystem Restoration Research Program, Arthropods of Coastal California, Plant Speciation via Hybridization and Allopolyploidy, Natural History Collection Information Science, and Endangered Endemic Plants.

Education
CCBER involves itself in community education through UCSB courses, field guides, placement of interpretive placards, workshops, seminars, a K-12 environmental education program, and tours. It also provides field and lab-based resources for faculty, staff, and students at UCSB.

Affiliates and Funding

CCBER is funded through grants for scientific research and restoration from institutions like the National Science Foundation and Museum and Library Services, and agencies such as CalTrans and U.S. Fish and Wildlife. CCBER is a non-profit and relies largely on donations and grants to do program work. A grant awarded in 2013 by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), will allow CCBER to digitize around 70,000 of the specimens in their Natural History collection.

Another way CCBER receives funding is through UCSB construction and UCSB's relationship with the California Coastal Commission. According to Section 30607.1 of the California Coastal Act, when UCSB plans to develop and potentially damage land, specifically land containing wetlands, they must hand over an equal area of land, with equal or greater biological productivity for restoration efforts. CCBER serves as a campus agency that helps with locating and restoring these mitigation areas.

USS Riley (DE-579) was a Rudderow-class destroyer escort in the United States Navy during World War II. She later transferred to the Republic of China Navy and served as Tai Yuan (DE-27). The ship was finally scrapped in 1996.

Namesake
Paul James Riley was born on 12 April 1913 at Hot Springs, Arkansas. He enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve on 12 December 1931 and was appointed midshipman on 26 June 1933. Commissioned Ensign 4 years later, he was designated naval aviator on 22 May 1940 and on 28 July he reported for duty with Torpedo Squadron 6 on board . Promoted to Lieutenant on 6 January 1942, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for "heroic conduct in aerial combat during the operations of U.S. forces against the Marshall Islands", on 1 February 1942. During the Battle of Midway on 4 June he was killed as he "pressed home his attack" against the Japanese Fleet "in the face of a terrific barrage of antiaircraft fire." He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.

Construction and service

World War II
Riley was laid down 20 October 1943 by Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Inc., Hingham, Massachusetts; launched 29 December 1943; sponsored by Miss Mildred Laverne Riley, sister of ship's namesake. Riley was commissioned 13 March 1944.

Following shakedown exercises off Bermuda, Riley joined CortDiv 67 at Norfolk, Virginia, where until 6 June she trained prospective destroyer escort crews. On 7 June she sailed for New York whence she escorted a convoy back to Norfolk where she readied for her first transatlantic run. Departing Hampton Roads 23 June with convoy UGS-46, she crossed into the Mediterranean Sea on 10 July, fought off a German aerial attack on the 12th, and arrived off Bizerte on the 13th. She returned to the United States 9 August, conducted sonar tests in the New London area until the 29th, then, on the 30th, sailed eastward to escort another Bizerte bound convoy. Back in New York 17 October, she got underway, with her division, for the Pacific Theater 3 November. Steaming via Panama, she reached Bora-Bora on the 25th and continued on to Hollandia, anchoring in Humboldt Bay 11 December.

Between 19 December and 2 January 1945, Riley completed a round-trip escort run to Leyte, then on the 3rd got underway to escort the Lingayen Support Group from New Guinea to Luzon. A unit of Task Group 78.9, she herded her charges through Surigao Strait on the 9th, protected them during a series of kamikaze attacks on the 12th, and on the 13th delivered them to the transport area off the Lingayen Gulf invasion beaches. For the next 2 days, she patrolled to the seaward of the anchorages off Yellow and Orange beaches, then turned south to escort a convoy returning to Leyte. On the 26th, she sailed north again, in the screen of the "Mark VII" assault force. On the 29th, she took the assault force to the landing area in southern Zambales Province, Luzon, then patrolled off the area as the forces began to move inland from the San Felipe-San Narciso-San Antonio beachheads to seal off the Bataan Peninsula and prevent Japanese forces from leaving from Manila to duplicate General Wainwright's 1942 peninsular defense.

Retiring that night, Riley returned to Leyte, whence she conducted interisland escort runs until 20 March. Then heading southeast, she steamed to the Admiralties and the Palaus and returned to the Philippines 5 April. Into July she engaged in further escort work in the Philippines and to New Guinea. On 7 July she departed Hollandia on her initial Okinawan convoy. Arriving on the 23d, she sailed for the Philippines 2 days later. After the mid-August cessation of hostilities, she escorted another convoy to Okinawa, then, after the formal surrender, returned to that island, whence she escorted two occupation troop convoys to Jinsen, Korea.

Riley earned two battle stars during World War II. In mid-October Riley got underway for the United States. Steaming via Pearl Harbor, she arrived at San Diego 5 November and was assigned to the Pacific Reserve Fleet.

Postwar
Decommissioned 15 January 1947, inactivation was completed 5 February and she joined the mothball fleet at San Diego. Transferred to the Columbia River berthing area in 1957, Riley remained in the Reserve Fleet until transferred to the Republic of China 10 July 1968. The destroyer escort served as ROCS Tai Yuan (DE-27) and was nicknamed "Yang Jr." (), a reference to her similar albeit less-numerous armaments as compared to the larger and more-powerful Yang class destroyers also acquired by the ROCN. At the height of her career she was armed (in addition to the 5" guns and original ASW weapons) with two twin 40mm/60 Bofors AA guns, four single 20mm Oerlikon cannons, two Mk 32 triple torpedo tubes, and a Sea Chaparral missile launcher. In the late 1980s she was transferred to the fisheries patrol until paid off in 1992.

Personal Freedom Outreach (PFO) is an evangelical countercult organization that serves to "educate Christians about the dangers and heretical doctrines of religious cults, to use the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach members of those cults and to warn Christians of unbiblical teachings within the church itself."

Its main office is located in St. Louis, Missouri. PFO consists of seven directors. It has a board of reference, which includes Jay E. Adams, Norman L. Geisler and Ron Rhodes.

Focus
PFO was founded by M. Kurt Goedelman and his wife, Angela, in 1975. PFO publishes tracts and other materials that biblically critique the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, The Way International, the Unification Church, Christian Science, Christadelphians, and other new religious movements.

PFO publishes the Quarterly Journal since 1981 (since 1988 under that name). It has included articles on Protestant teachers and organizations which it considers marginal such as Benny Hinn, Rebecca Brown, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Bill Gothard, Joyce Meyer, and the Trinity Broadcasting Network, as well as groups which it considers cultic or theologically aberrant.

In 1996, PFO began hosting its biennial discernment conferences which deals with what it perceives as challenges to sound doctrine and a biblical worldview which face the Christian church today.

Standards and credentials
PFO is a member of Evangelical Ministries to New Religions and has cosponsored a conference where they adopted a comprehensive manual, establishing guidelines in theology and ethical conduct for member organizations of the Christian countercult network. The standards are inspired by the Lausanne Congress in 1974.

Bud Press of the Christian Research Service has endorsed PFO for their "well-written and researched articles, editorials, news updates, and book reviews."

They have also been laudably evaluated in scholarly literature. Everett Shrophire and John Morehead note the wealth of information possessed by organizations as PFO and envisions a central place for them in the coming challenges to Christian mission. Paul Carden makes much the same observation.

William H. Comstock (May 7, 1889 – September 23, 1961), known by his stage name Billy House, was an American vaudevillian, Broadway performer and feature film actor. After devoting most of his career to live performance, he moved to Hollywood where he became a supporting actor during the 1940s and 1950s. According to admirer Orson Welles, the name "Billy House" was likely an invention for use in burlesque theaters.

Career overview
Breaking into show business as a trumpet player, House worked in circuses, vaudeville, burlesque theaters and radio dramas before adding the occasional Broadway turn and bit part in feature films to his résumé. One of his Broadway co-stars, Pauline Moore, once recalled an incident about his performance in the 1933 Earl Carroll version of Murder at the Vanities:

House was also used as a live-action model for the Disney characters of Doc (in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) and Smee (in Peter Pan)).

By the mid-1940s he had begun working more steadily in film. The bulk of his larger film roles came between 1945 and 1952. House appeared on television at least once late in his career.

Theatrical legacy
Because much of House's earliest theatrical work took place in smaller off-Broadway venues and burlesque stages, much of it escaped the notice of theatrical critics. Consequently, it is difficult to assess the nature or quality of his work until the late 1920s, when he began appearing on Broadway. It is known that his estate memorabilia, which would have included many of his vaudeville routines, did pass into the hands of noted variety theater enthusiast and historian, Milt Larsen. This material was originally housed at the Society for the Preservation of Variety Arts in the Friday Morning Club building in the 1970s and 1980s, but was subsequently moved to the basement of the Magic Castle in about 1991.

House began performing on Broadway in the late 1920s, and generally caught the eye of national critics. Many reviews prominently mentioned his size as much as his performance. Time magazine said of House's presence in Luckee Girl (1928), "Billy House moved about the stage like a grinning Guava jelly, singing 'Whoopee' with suave insinuations." The New York Times was less focused on House's size, and more interested in his performance, which they said gave "considerable liveliness" to the venture. Five years later, Time said of Murder at the Vanities (1933) that House was "as incredibly fat behind as before", while noting that he contributed to the play's "bewildering" conclusion when his character requested "a steak so big you can milk it". By 1936, Time had essentially reduced House's contribution to White Horse Inn to theatrical trope, saying only that House was "a comic with a big belly". Still, the New York press was considerably kinder to White Horse Inn than Time. The New York Times said it was possessed of "lavish showmanship"; the New York Herald-Tribune said it was "a beautiful colorful and sufficiently lively show"; while the New York American raved, "Here, believe me, is a very magnum of delights." Because White Horse Inn was embraced by the New York press, Billy House received what one scholar of the play called "a big career boost".

Film legacy

House began his film career as the star of two-reelers in about 1930. His most frequent collaborator in these short films was the prolific two-reel director Aubrey Scotto. Together they made The Dunker, Retire Inn, Bullmania and Out of Bounds. All of these were also written by House, and at least some were adaptations of theatrical routines he had previously copyrighted. Between 1930 and 1931, he made at least four more two-reelers, and his first feature film, Smart Money. Money would see him work for the first time alongside Edward G. Robinson and Boris Karloff, both of whom would figure prominently in his later films.

After the short subject format fell out of fashion, House evolved into a character actor in feature-length films. House's significant girth made him a natural for the memorable role of Friar Tuck, opposite Alan Hale's Little John in the 1950 film, Rogues of Sherwood Forest. He is also remembered by scholars of horror films for his "superb" performance as the obese, ambiguously evil Lord Mortimer in Boris Karloff's Bedlam (1946). Later, he had significant role in the first Ma and Pa Kettle film, The Egg and I (1947) and appeared in Inner Sanctum (1948) and Naked Gun (1956).

House was a particular favorite of actor/director Orson Welles, who employed him on three occasions: The Stranger (1946), The Fountain of Youth (1956) and Touch of Evil (1958). Indeed, Welles had long watched House's burlesque career before initially casting him in The Stranger. While working with him on that first film, Welles came to know House as a "very funny man" possessed of "great old-fashioned slang that I've treasured through the years". His character — a comic druggist who played checkers — was not initially a major part of the film, but Welles became so enamored of House's talents, that the character's importance grew with last-minute script additions on the set. These revisions came at the expense of Edward G. Robinson's character, causing the more famous actor to complain ineffectually to studio executives. In the end, The Stranger was, according to Welles, "House's picture".

The Sterling ratio (SR) is a measure of the risk-adjusted return of an investment portfolio.

While multiple definitions of the Sterling ratio exist, it measures return over average drawdown, versus the more commonly used max drawdown. While the max drawdown looks back over the entire period and takes the worst point along that equity curve, a quick change of the look back allows one to see what the worst peak to valley loss was for each calendar year as well. From there, the drawdowns of each year are averaged to come up with an average annual drawdown. The original definition was most likely suggested by Deane Sterling Jones (a company no longer in existence):

If the drawdown is put in as a negative number, then subtract the 10%, and then multiply the whole thing by a negative to result in a positive ratio. If the drawdown is put in as a positive number, then add 10% and the result is the same positive ratio.

To clarify the reason he (Deane Sterling Jones) used 10% in the denominator was to compare any investment with a return stream to a risk-free investment (T-bills). He invented the ratio in 1981 when t-bills were yielding 10%. Since bills did not experience drawdowns (and a ratio of 1.0 at that time), he felt that any investment with a ratio greater than 1.0 had a better risk/reward tradeoff. The average drawdown was always averaged and entered as a positive number and then 10% was added to that value.

This version of the Sterling ratio may be adjusted to something more like a Sharpe ratio as follows:

In mathematics, Weingarten functions are rational functions indexed by partitions of integers that can be used to calculate integrals of products of matrix coefficients over classical groups. They were first studied by  who found their asymptotic behavior, and named by , who evaluated them explicitly for the unitary group.

Unitary groups
Weingarten functions are used for evaluating integrals over the unitary group Ud
of products of matrix coefficients of the form

where  denotes complex conjugation. Note that  where  is the conjugate transpose of , so one can interpret the above expression as being for the  matrix element of .

This integral is equal to

where Wg is the Weingarten function, given by

where the sum is over all partitions λ of q . Here χλ is the character of Sq corresponding to the partition λ and s is the Schur polynomial of λ, so that sλd(1) is the dimension of the representation of Ud corresponding to λ.

The Weingarten functions are rational functions in d. They can have poles for small values of d, which cancel out in the formula above. There is an alternative inequivalent definition of Weingarten functions, where one only sums over partitions with at most d parts. This is no longer a rational function of d, but is finite for all positive integers d. The two sorts of Weingarten functions coincide for d larger than q, and either can be used in the formula for the integral.

Values of the Weingarten function for simple permutations
The first few Weingarten functions Wg(σ, d) are
 (The trivial case where q = 0)

where permutations σ are denoted by their cycle shapes.

There exist computer algebra programs to produce these expressions.

Explicit expressions for the integrals in the first cases
The explicit expressions for the integrals of first- and second-degree polynomials, obtained via the formula above, are:

Asymptotic behavior
For large d, the Weingarten function Wg has the asymptotic behavior

where the permutation σ is a product of cycles of lengths Ci, and cn = (2n)!/n!(n + 1)! is a Catalan number, and |σ| is the smallest number of transpositions that σ is a product of. There exists a diagrammatic method to systematically calculate the integrals over the unitary group as a power series in 1/d.

Orthogonal and symplectic groups
For orthogonal and symplectic groups the Weingarten functions were evaluated by . Their theory is similar to the case of the unitary group. They are parameterized by partitions such that all parts have even size.

The 2010 IAAF World Cross Country Championships were held at Myślęcinek Park in Bydgoszcz, Poland on 28 March 2010. It was the first time in over twenty years that Poland hosted the annual championships, having previously held them in Warsaw in 1987. Kenyan runners dominated the competition, taking all four individual titles and all four team titles at the competition. Kenyans took the top four spots in both junior men's and junior women's races to finish with a perfect team score.

In the absence of Zersenay Tadese and Kenenisa Bekele, the senior men's race was an opportunity for less-established runners. Joseph Ebuya won the gold (his first major medal), becoming the first Kenyan to win the men's race since Paul Tergat in 1999. Teklemariam Medhin of Eritrea took second place (also his first major medal) while Moses Ndiema Kipsiro of Uganda was third. Kenya won the senior men's team gold with ease and Eritrea won the team silver medal. Defending champion Gebregziabher Gebremariam only just made the top ten but led Ethiopia to the team bronze.

Florence Kiplagat was not present to defend the women's senior title, leaving Linet Masai and Tirunesh Dibaba as the favourites. However, a sprint finish by little-known runner Emily Chebet rendered Masai the silver medallist for a second year running. Meselech Melkamu of Ethiopia won the fourth World Cross Country bronze of her career as Dibaba finished outside the medals. Kenya and Ethiopia won the team gold and silver, respectively, while Shalane Flanagan led the United States women's team to a bronze medal.

The top four in both the junior men and women's races were all Kenyan, with Caleb Mwangangi Ndiku and Mercy Cherono the gold medallists. The dominance of the competition by Kenyan and East African runners was accompanied by a decline in the number of European teams that were entered for the tournament, with some historically strong countries sending no athletes at all.

Preparation

Bidding
The Bydgoszcz bid for the World Cross Country Championships was approved on 22 March 2009 at the spring IAAF Council meeting.

Eurocross
Almond Blossom Cross

Pre-championship events
In order to raise awareness prior to the championships, the city and Polish athletics association organised a weekly cross country run (the Cross Bydgoski) every Sunday on the race course from 25 October onwards. Renowned Polish athletes were invited and Artur Kohutek and Marika Popowicz were among those who took to the course to compete alongside professional and amateur runners alike.

The Polish Cross Country Championships were held at the venue, acting as a pre-championship tester for the Myślęcinek Park course two weeks prior to the main event. Katarzyna Kowalska won the women's 8 km race while Marcin Chabowski won the men's 12 km event. The organising committee introduced an event mascot – a large grey squirrel called "Crossby".

Pre-race form
Before the event, the possible medallists of men's race were less predictable than in previous years – Kenenisa Bekele, who had won six long and five short course gold medals in the previous decade, was ruled out due to an injury and his nearest competitor, 2007 winner Zersenay Tadese, missed the championships to focus on road running instead.

Their absence suggested that a Kenyan runner might top the men's podium for the first time in over ten years. The largely untested Paul Tanui had established himself by summarily beating his more experienced counterparts by over half a minute at the Kenyan championships. Leonard Komon and Joseph Ebuya were other Kenyan men in strong form. Many of Ethiopia's top athletes were absent, although the defending champion Gebregziabher Gebremariam was a key medal contender and former junior champion Ayele Abshero was making his first try at the senior ranks. Outside the traditionally successful Ethiopian and Kenya teams, Samuel Tsegay of Eritrea and 2009 silver medallist Moses Ndiema Kipsiro of Uganda were medal possibilities, while the 2009 European Champion Alemayehu Bezabeh headed an improved Spanish team.

In the women's race, Linet Masai (2009 silver medallist) and Tirunesh Dibaba (the 2008 champion) were strong favourites for the women's medals. The defending champion, Florence Kiplagat, was not in attendance but 2009 fourth placer Lineth Chepkurui was another Kenyan contender for the medals. Ethiopia entered a strong team, including Dibaba, 2003 champion Werknesh Kidane and multiple past medallist Meselech Melkamu. Non-African runners in good form were 2004 champion Benita Willis of Australia and 2009 European champion Hayley Yelling. The United States and Portugal had entered strong women's teams, led by national champions Shalane Flanagan and Ana Dulce Félix respectively, which were given good medalling possibilities.

Competition

Venue and conditions

The course for the race was flat with a number of turns and was grassy and reasonably dry underfoot. An unusual addition to the relatively straightforward course was the placement of large wooden logs on the course as hurdles. This aspect came under criticism from Jason Henderson of Athletics Weekly, who commented that the course "seems to be some kind of children’s play park, runners also have to run past a bizarre-looking wooden crocodile." A mix of unseasonably warm weather, followed by a cold, overcast day prior to the championships, suggested the event would be held in less than ideal conditions. However, the race day itself was sunny and (at 10°C) the temperature was well-suited to the runners.

Men's race
The men's race started at a middling-pace and 20 runners (mostly Kenyans, Ethiopians and Eritreans) had formed a leading pack by the third lap. Defending champion Gebregziabher Gebremariam was not among them and it soon became obvious he would not reach the podium for a second year running. Samuel Tsegay and Teklemariam Medhin of Eritrea began to increase the pace at the beginning of the fourth lap. This disrupted the pack and by the end of the lap Medhin was leading, shortly followed by Joseph Ebuya and Moses Kipsiro, who was a little further behind. Ebuya took the lead and he continued the quicker pace for the fifth and final lap. Medhin stayed close to Ebuya, however, while Leonard Komon and Kipsiro were battling for the bronze medal position.

As the race drew to a close, Ebuya pulled away from Medhin to beat the Eritrean by six seconds, becoming the first Kenyan senior men's champion since Paul Tergat in 1999. Komon and Kipsiro engaged in a sprint finish in the final straight and, although they recorded the same time, it was Kipsiro who took the honours. Tsegay and Hasan Mahboob took fifth and sixth places and a Kenyan trio of Richard Kipkemboi Mateelong, Paul Tanui, and Hosea Mwok Macharinyang ensured that Kenya took the team gold as well. Eritrea took the team silver medal, pushing Ethiopian into third place on the team podium. Chakir Boujattaoui (in 12th place) helped Morocco to fourth in the rankings while Saudi Arabian-born runner Simon Bairu, representing Canada, was the first non-African to cross the line.

Later that year, Boujattaoui's performance was erased from the record as he failed a pre-race drug test for MIRCERA (an EPO variant). This meant that Bairu was elevated into the top twelve while Uganda moved ahead of Morocco by one place in the final team rankings.

Women's race

Linet Masai, the previous year's silver medallist, made a strong start to the race and began to set the pace for the race alongside her Kenyan teammates. After the first lap around fifteen runners had formed a leading pack comprising mainly Kenyan and Ethiopian runners, although Benita Willis, Shalane Flanagan, and Hilda Kibet remained among them. The group stayed together until the third lap at which point the pace became too much for some runners. By the midpoint of the lap, former champion Tirunesh Dibaba had slipped out of contention and was ten seconds behind the three leading athletes: Masai, Emily Chebet and Meselech Melkamu.

In the final lap, Masai made her move and began to forge a lead over the other two runners. However, Chebet began to chase Masai, leaving Melkamu behind her. Masai was ahead at the final straight towards the finish but Chebet's sprint quickly reduced the gap between the two. The little-known Chebet won at the line, defeating the pre-race favourite Masai, who had to content herself with another silver having lost another sprint finish at the competition. Melkamu took third uncontested while Dibaba was fourth some twelve seconds behind the bronze medallist. Kenyans Lineth Chepkurui and Margaret Wangari Muriuki took fifth and sixth to confirm their team gold and the Ethiopian women took the team silver. American runner Shalane Flanagan was twelfth and top-20 finishes from Molly Huddle and Magdalena Lewy-Boulet helped the United States to a team bronze.

Junior races
The junior men's race was a straightforward affair: a Kenyan trio of Caleb Ndiku, Clement Langat and Japhet Korir monopolised first position for laps one and two. Ndiku took to the front of the leading pack on the third lap and never relinquished his position after maintaining a fast pace. As Ndiku increased his lead, Moses Kibet of Uganda attempted to follow, but he eventually fell off the pace. Langat and Korir pulled closer to their teammate in the final stages but they took second and third place respectively. Isaiah Koech overtook Kibet to head the Kenyan team to a perfect gold, occupying the top four spots. With Ethiopia, Uganda and Eritrea taking the next three team spots, the upper rankings featured almost exclusively East African runners, with Joel Mmone of South Africa (21st place) being the only exception among the first 24 runners to finish.

The junior women's race marked a resounding defeat for the defending Ethiopian team and its defending champion Genzebe Dibaba. The leading pack remained large during the first two laps, but on the third and final lap the Kenyan women asserted themselves. By the halfway point, Mercy Cherono was at the front of a group of four Kenyans comprising Purity Rionoripo, Esther Chemtai and Faith Chepngetich. Cherono pulled ahead of her compatriots and won with ease. Rionoripo just pipped Chemtai for second place in a sprint finish, shortly followed by Chepndetich in fourth place. Dibaba finished in eleventh, helping Ethiopia to the team silver. Uganda took the team bronze while the first non-African-born runner home was Gulshat Fazlitdinova of Russia.

Reception
Having won every gold medal on offer, as well as a 1–2 in the women's race and every junior individual medal, Kenya were perceived as being by far the dominant force of the championships. However, while this success was lauded as a great achievement for Kenya by commentators such as former champion John Ngugi, this dominance came with a fall in both interest and participation from Western countries. Nations with distinguished histories in long distance running, such as Russia, Germany and Finland, sent no senior athletes to the championships at all, while the sole runners for Belgium and the Netherlands (Atelaw Yeshetela and Hilda Kibet) were both born in East Africa.

The secretary general of the IAAF, Pierre Weiss, acknowledged the lack of European teams present at the competition, but said that problem was solely with world championships participation and not the sport of cross country running as a whole as the 2009 European Cross Country Championships had been successful. IAAF president Lamine Diack stated that European runners needed to learn from the East Africans to improve their performances. However, the decline in European interest had a direct effect on the scheduling of the world championships event, which had been changed from an annual to a biennial format by a large majority of votes at the 2009 IAAF Congress.

Back taxes is a term for taxes that were not completely paid when due. Typically, these are taxes that are owed from a previous year. Causes for back taxes include failure to pay taxes by the deadline, failure to correctly report one's income, or neglecting to file a tax return altogether.

A government might implement different approaches to collect back taxes, including criminal charges, offering a voluntary disclosure program that allows a broad variety of payment methods, or tax liens.

If the taxes remain unpaid, the tax authority could use a tax levy to legally seize the taxpayer's assets (such as bank accounts, investment accounts, automobiles, and real estate) to collect the money it is owed.

United States
In the United States, unpaid taxes can be owed at federal, state, and/or local government levels, so are assessed by them. Paying the full amount of tax debt as soon as possible is always the least expensive option for the taxpayer because of penalties and interest accumulation. In 2016, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began a new private collection program of certain overdue federal tax debts. The new program authorized designated contractors to collect, on the government's behalf, outstanding inactive tax receivables. By an offer in compromise, taxpayers lacking the means to repay taxes may negotiate a lesser settlement with the IRS.

The consequences for not paying one's back taxes differ. The IRS may send written notices regarding back taxes, and usually expects a response in 30–60 days. A penalty fee is issued if the taxes remain unpaid. The minimum penalty fee is $135. Also, one has to pay interest on the unpaid taxes. The interest rate is usually determined by the federal short-term rate.

The IRS can summon taxpayers, which is a legal requirement for the taxpayer to visit an IRS officer and bring appropriate records and documents. A third party with relevant information about the case, such as a record keeper from a financial institution, can also be summoned by the IRS. If one has a right to tax refunds, the IRS will not hand the refund to the taxpayer until he or she has repaid the back taxes.
Other, more severe consequences are losing ground on one's credit report, having one's property seized, declaring bankruptcy, and serving jail time.

St. Julie's Catholic High School is a Roman Catholic secondary school for girls aged 11–18 located in Woolton, Liverpool.

History
The school is the amalgamation of several different institutions, most established by the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, founded by Saint Julie Billiart. The sisters were called to Liverpool in 1851 at the behest of Fr. James Nugent to help educate the poor families in the area. The sisters opened a fee-paying school at Woolton Hall in 1950. This school later became a voluntary aided Grammar School and then merged with Notre Dame Mount Pleasant High School in 1970 to form Notre Dame Woolton. In 1983, Notre Dame Woolton merged with La Sagesse, a school of the Daughters of Wisdom on Aigburth Road in Aigburth, and adopted its current name.

In 2014, there were plans to move the school to a site on Beaconsfield Road adjacent to St. Francis Xavier's College, but a revised plan was subsequently implemented to build largely on the existing site. The footprint of the new building required the use of some land from the adjacent field, which was exchanged for a much larger area of privately held historic woodland. This woodland is now accessible to all, increasing the size of Woolton Woods parkland for the benefit and enjoyment of Wooltonians. Teaching began in the new building in September 2017, and it was officially opened by Mayor Joe Anderson in September 2018.

USS Leslie L. B. Knox (DE-580) was a Rudderow-class destroyer escort in service with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. She was scrapped in 1973.

Namesake
Leslie Lockhart Bruce Knox was born on 17 November 1916 in Brisbane, Australia. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy as seaman second class at New York City on 28 April 1939, and was appointed as aviation cadet on 20 September. After flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, he was commissioned Ensign on 12 June 1940 and reported to Scouting Squadron 41 at Norfolk, Virginia.

On 15 March 1941 he was transferred to VF-42 and, except for temporary duty with Fighting Squadron 41, remained with that unit until his death in the Battle of the Coral Sea on 8 May 1942. He was posthumously promoted to Lieutenant (junior grade) on 25 June 1942 and awarded the Navy Cross for "extraordinary heroism and conspicuous courage as pilot of an aircraft of a Fighting Squadron in action against enemy Japanese forces, in the Battle of the Coral Sea...On that evening, as one of the fighters launched to oppose enemy Japanese aircraft in the vicinity of his ship, Ensign Knox attacked a formation of seven enemy aircraft, shooting down one and assisting...in dispersing the others. In this engagement, he displayed unusual skill and devotion to duty, carrying out his mission with determination and aggressiveness against great enemy odds and with complete disregard for his own personal safety."

Construction and service
Leslie L. B. Knox was laid down 7 November 1943 by the Bethlehem Hingham Shipyard, Inc., Hingham, Massachusetts; launched 8 January 1944; sponsored by Louise Kennedy Knox, widow of the ship's namesake and commissioned 22 March 1944.

Battle of the Atlantic
After shakedown out of Bermuda, the new destroyer escort was assigned to Escort Division 67, Atlantic Fleet. Following two runs escorting coastal convoys between New York and Norfolk, Virginia, she departed Hampton Roads 24 June 1944 on the first of two round-trip voyages escorting convoys to Bizerte, Tunisia. Returning from the second voyage, she arrived New York 16 October for repairs.

Pacific War
Leslie L. B. Knox steamed from New York and 3 November rendezvoused with Escort Division 67 en route to the Pacific. After transiting the Panama Canal and touching the Galapagos, Society, and Solomon Islands, she arrived Hollandia, New Guinea, 11 December.

From December 1944 through June 1945, the ship was engaged in convoy escort duty, ASW patrols, and mail runs in the New Guinea and Philippine waters. She received her first battle star for convoy escort duty from Hollandia to Leyte Gulf 3 to 14 January 1945 in support of the Lingayen Gulf landing. During this mission, the convoy fought off Japanese kamikaze planes so that only one merchant ship was damaged.

After the successful Lingayen Gulf landing, Leslie L. B. Knox continued convoy-escort and mail-run duties, earning two more battle stars for her work in the Manila Bay-Bicol Operation and the campaign to liberate the southern Philippine Islands. After V-J Day, she steamed to Okinawa, arriving 7 September 1945 for occupation duty and service along the coast of China. During this period the ship called at Jinsen, Korea, and Shanghai and Tsingtao, China.

Postwar
She departed 14 October for the United States, arriving San Diego 5 November. Leslie L. B. Knox was decommissioned on 15 June 1946, and entered the Pacific Reserve Fleet at San Diego. Later she was berthed at Stockton, California. Leslie L. B. Knox received three battle stars for World War II service. She was scrapped in 1973.

Kupea is a monotypic moth genus of the family Crambidae described by Alfred Philpott in 1930. It contains only one species, Kupea electilis, also known as Kupe's grassmoth, which is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as Nationally Vulnerable by the Department of Conservation. The female of the species was first discovered in 2012.

Taxonomy
Kupea electilis was first described by Alfred Philpott in 1930 using a male specimen collected at Birdling's Flat, Kaitorete Spit by Stuart Lindsay in March. The species was again described and figured by George Vernon Hudson in 1939. David E. Gaskin discussed the species in 1975 stating that once a female specimen was found the systemic position of the genus should be reassessed. The type specimen is held at the Canterbury Museum.

Description
The adult male's forewings are brassy ochreous, suffused with grey in the disc. There is a brownish-black mark in the disc, followed by a white bar. The hindwings are brownish. The male has a limited ability to fly. The female of the species is brachypterous.

Distribution
Kupea electilis is endemic to New Zealand. It has only ever been recorded on sites around Kaitorete Spit, Canterbury. The female of the species was first discovered in 2012.

Life history
The larvae exist in a cocoon constructed of silk and sand. They feed on dried pieces of their host plant within the cocoon. Adults are on the wing from mid March to mid April. The time they are active is unknown as K. electilis are not attracted to light but it has been hypothesised they are active at twilight.

Habitat and host plant
This species occurs at sand plains, behind foredunes and low hind dunes. The host of this species is the endemic plant Zoysia minima.

Conservation status
Kupea electilis is regarded as being "Nationally Vulnerable" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. The main threats to this species include grazing cattle and introduced pests such as rabbits that eat its host plant, weed invasion from plants such as sea spurge, and the development or use of land by humans.

Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (DTM&H) is a postgraduate award, given after a prescribed period of instruction followed by an examination consisting of three parts; (a) a written examination (b) a practical laboratory examination and (c) an oral examination. In some schools, a fourth part consisting of a clinical bedside examination may be required.

The DTM&H is offered at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the University of Glasgow, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals,  Nagasaki University School of Tropical Medicine and Global Health, and at Mahidol University Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Several American universities offer an equivalent course, sometimes simplified to the Diploma in Tropical Medicine (DTM), including Johns Hopkins University, National School of Tropical Medicine (Baylor College of Medicine), University of Alabama at Birmingham/Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (Gorgas Course), and the University of Minnesota.

The DTM&H Coursework at Mahidol University, Faculty of Tropical Medicine is a 6-month program in an area endemic with many tropical diseases. The University of Glasgow in conjunction with the Royal College of Physicians offer a part-time course taught both online and in house which leads to DTM&H qualification.  Sheffield Teaching Hospitals offer a similar service leading to the DTM&H qualification.

Similar courses
A similar course is offered at the University of Pretoria, leading to the award of the Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Health which is also abbreviated DTM&H.
 There is also an online course offered over 1 year at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, where the abbreviation is also styled DTM&H.

The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland and Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland jointly offer a similar course, but the diploma awarded is called the Diploma in Tropical Medicine. That is abbreviated as DTM RCP&SI or DTM RCPSI.

The American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene administers an exam and Certificate in Tropical Medicine (CTropMed) for graduates of DTM&H courses.

The University of Western Australia offers Graduate Diploma in Infectious Diseases, as well as a more popular Master of Infectious Diseases (Coursework & Dissertation), abbreviated GradDipInfectDis. and MInfectDis., respectively. These courses have components taught by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

Carlton A. Roles (August 29, 1903 – January 16, 1970) was an American Thoroughbred horse racing trainer who served for a time as the President of the California Thoroughbred Trainers Association.

Usually known as Carl Roles, he was sometimes referred to by the nickname, "Slim." A Thoroughbred trainer and owner, he trained for prominent stable owners such as Ada L. Rice of Chicago,  Hollywood film studio boss, Louis B. Mayer and Milly Factor. In the 1930s he met with considerable success as the trainer of Time Supply for owner Frank A. Carreaud. The colt won a number of important races including the Massachusetts Handicap, San Antonio Handicap, San Vicente Handicap, and the Narragansett Special. However, Roles is best known as the trainer of Terrang whose race conditioning he took over in January 1957 after the horse was purchased by his clients, Roland Bond and Lawrence S. Pollock. In the summer of 1966, the owner of Desert Trial, Muriel Vanderbilt Adams, sent her horse west to trainer Carl Roles where he saddled him to a number of important stakes including back-to-back editions of the Ramona Handicap.

Barbara Roles
Daughter, Barbara Roles, won the 1958 United States Junior Women's Figure Skating Championship and in 1962, the Senior Women's Championship. She was also the Bronze medallist in the 1960 Winter Olympics.

Carl Roles died at age sixty-six in 1970. At the time of his death, he was living in Pasadena, California.

Wilhelm Herman Barth  (27 April 1813 – 1 August 1896) was a Danish musician, composer and music theorist.

Barth was born in Copenhagen, the son of carpenter Friderich Wilhelm Barth (born in Berlin in 1787) and Eleonora Elisabeth, née Schultz. In 1834 he married Caroline Amalie Marquard, daughter of his manager Johan Hendrik Marquard.

Barth played violin, horn, cello and organ.  He was appointed to the Royal Life Guards from 1834 to 1838. In 1852, Barth was the organist at the Reformerte Church, in 1859 at the St. Peter's Church, Copenhagen, and in 1878 at the Jacob Church.

Barth was a notable music theorist and was one of the first independent writers in this field in his region. His works were heavily used in the teaching of music theory.
