Kazemat en kogels is een gekozen titel voor een tweedelig artistiek kunstwerk in Amsterdam-Centrum.

Tot midden jaren tachtig was de Wittenburgervaart een watergang tussen fabrieksterreinen in. De industrie had nog veelal te maken met de scheepsbouw, die hier jarenlang tierde. In die jaren kwam er sanering en stadsvernieuwing van de grond en de industrie moest plaatsmaken voor bewoning. Het was een zaak van lange adem; ook in 2020 wordt er nog aan gewerkt (Stork-complex). Met die stadsvernieuwing kwamen nieuwe bewoners en er werden aanpassingen in de infrastructuur verricht. Een van die aanpassingen werd gerealiseerd in de vorm van een brug voor voetgangers en fietsers; de brug kreeg de naam Ezelsbrug. Deze werd in 1987 geopend. Rond die brug liggen in 2022 twee objecten van kunst. Enerzijds aan de oostkant is er de Bandenboot van Robert Jasper Grootveld waarover van alles bekend is. Anderzijds aan de westkant bevinden zich de kazemat en (kanons)kogels. Deze liggen in het trottoir van de Poolstraat. De naam van de maker en/of ontwerper is niet bekend en ook het jaar van plaatsing is niet bekend. De doorbraak voor de brug stamt uit midden jaren tachtig; het kunstwerk is voor zover bekend voor het eerst gefotografeerd in maart 1990. Het kunstwerk bestaat uit een geheel dichte kazemat; een paar meter verder liggen gestapelde kanonskogels (waarvan er naar zeggen ooit een aantal gestolen zijn).

Tonkin-episoden betegner to påståede angreb foretaget af Nordvietnams flåde mod to destroyere fra USA's flåde, USS Maddox og USS Turner Joy. Angrebene skal have fundet sted 2. august og 4. august 1964 i Tonkin-bugten.

Resultatet af episoden var at USA's kongres godkendte den sydøstasiatiske resolution, bedre kendt som Tonkin-resolutionen, der gav præsident Lyndon B. Johnson tilladelse til at assistere ethvert sydøstasiatisk land hvis regering blev anset for at være truet af "kommunistisk agression." Resolutionen tjente som Johnsons lovgrundlag for at eskalere USA's engagement i Vietnamkrigen.

Senere undersøgelser, offentliggjort i en rapport der blev udgivet i 2005 af National Security Agency, indikerer at det sidste af angrebene sandsynligvis ikke fandt sted. Rapporten forsøgte også at modbevise en påstand om at medlemmer af præsident Lyndon B. Johnsons regering bevidst havde løjet om hændelsen. Robert McNamara har siden bl.a. i filmen "The Fog of War" indrømmet at det andet angreb "ikke fandt sted."

Fue seleccionado en la posición 43 del Draft de la NBA de 1997 por Phoenix Suns, pero no recibió oportunidades para jugar en la NBA, por lo que se tuvo que marchar a la CBA, donde promedió 2.7 puntos en 12.7 minutos de juego. Posteriormente, Jackson probó suerte en Australia, Venezuela y República Dominicana.

New Jersey Nets
Jackson no jugó en la NBA hasta la temporada 2000-01, haciéndolo en New Jersey Nets.

Sus promedios fueron de 3.9 puntos y 1.1 rebotes por encuentro, jugando 9.9 minutos.

Durante la temporada 2002-03, Jackson fue clave en los Spurs. Apareció en 80 partidos, 58 de ellos de titular, promediando 11.8 puntos, 3.6 rebotes y 2.3 asistencias en 28.2 minutos de juego.

Atlanta Hawks

Cykelmyggen og Dansemyggen er en dansk animationsfilm fra 2007, instrueret af Jannik Hastrup og Flemming Quist Møller og produceret af Marie Bro for Dansk Tegnefilm 2 ApS. Filmens manuskript er skrevet af Flemming Quist Møller. Filmen er solgt internationalt under navnet A tale of two mozzies.

Handling
Dansemyggen Dagmar brænder for sin dans og er lun på  Egon. Men Egon brænder for en hård spurt og vil ud at se verden. Kærligheden må vente, til drengetiden er forbi, mener han.

Da den onde, røde myredronning Dominella og hendes soldater dræber den sorte myredronning og overtager magten i hendes tue, inddrages vore helte mere eller mindre frivilligt i et skovbundsdrama, som sætter deres venskab på prøve og kræver, at de udnytter deres talenter til det yderste.

Cykelmyggen gør hvad han kan for ikke at involvere sig for kraftigt i myre-sagen, og lader sig let distrahere af skovbundens fristelser – som bi-prinsesser med adgang til uanede mængder af honning. Og der er jo en drenge-drøm at passe om at rejse verden rundt med et loppecirkus som cykelartist. Men i sidste ende bliver det op til Dagmar og Egon at redde de sorte myrer.

Persongalleri
Cykelmyggen Egon er en dreng på ca. 14 år. Frisk, fordomsfri, egocentrisk.  Prøver at undgå kedelige pligter og ansvar. Er god nok, når det gælder, men glemmer let at tænke på andres ønsker og behov.

Dansemyggen Dagmar, pige på ca. 14 år.  Frisk og frejdig. Finder sig ikke i hvad som helst  og kender sit eget værd. Hun har et åbent og nysgerrigt syn på verden.  Let koket, uden af være selvoptaget. Elsker dansen for dens egen skyld. Bliver hurtigt, og egentlig mod sin vilje, skudt i  Egon, selv om hun godt kan se, at han er alt for umoden til at være en ordentlig kæreste. Men man har jo lov til at drømme og med tiden bliver han vel voksen og følsom?  Det er Dagmar, som udtænker plottet til revolutionen i myretuen og hende, der styrer de ensporede myrer igennem problemerne.

Minibillen er en dreng på ca. 6 år. Han er "børneforelsket" til op over begge ører i dansemyggen og følger hende som en tro væbner.  Han er ikke jaloux på Egon, men ser hele tiden situationen fra Dagmars side og føler med hende, når Egon sårer hende med sin hvalpede ubetænksomhed.  Mini har et heftigt temperament og er totalt dødsforagtende, når retfærdighedens harme bruser i hans årer. Han vil gå i døden for sin hjerter dame som en ægte ridder.

Myrer er ikke uintelligente.  De kan løse tekniske, logistiske og organisatoriske problemer som ingenting.  Fantasi og humor og evnen til at fatte andre synspunkter end deres egne, skorter det derimod meget på. Ellers er de venlige, loyale og pålidelige.  Følelser som sorg og glæde, smerte og begejstring kan myrerne sagtens føle. Men det kræver, at de føler det samme samtidigt. Ellers bryder deres verden fuldstændigt sammen.

Myresoldaten Knud har hjertet på rette sted og er faktisk en blød mand, som kun ved skæbnens grusomme spil er havnet  i hjelm og kyrads. Han bryder sig ikke om sit brutale job og har medlidenhed med de undertrykte slavemyrer.  At han er forelsket i den sorte Maren Malkepige gør ikke hans liv lettere.  Hans figur skal vise, at ikke alle jyder er født onde. Ret skal være ret.

Musekterne har et medlem i bandet,  som ikke har replikker,  fordi  han ikke siger noget forståeligt. Kun
smaskende og dyriske lyde.  Det er
marimba-billen Køllekalle.  I storyboardet vil man se ham betvinge sit
instrument i virtuos  stil med alle fire
arme og tungen hængende ud af munden.

Græshoppen Sensitiva de Luxe spiller cello, violin og harpe og betjener alle instrumenter med udsøgt mesterskab. Hun besidder en ro og en autoritet, som er en diva værdig.  At hun ikke er upåvirket  af Banjobillen Børge Bøfs maskuline, sømandsagtige charme  og direkte kurmageri  er en af livets  positive overraskelser.  Men på trods af hans ubarberede  kæber og brede christianshavnske kæft (stemme: Kim Larsen) viser hans følsomme serenade, at der er sarte følelser bag det rå ydre.

Bierne føler sig  højt hævede over alle andre og taler utroligt dannet  og overklassepræget.  Dronning Flora er et sart og selvforkælet væsen og er ellers ret skikkelig. Prinsesserne er forkælede men friske og livshungrende.

È noto soprattutto come autore di opere teatrali e per il suo contributo alla stesura della Ratio atque Institutio Studiorum Societatis Iesu, l'Ordinamento ufficiale degli studi nella Compagnia di Gesù.

Biografia
Tuccio nacque a Monforte di Sicilia, oggi Monforte San Giorgio (Messina) nel 1540. Pur essendo dotato di una buona cultura classica trovò inizialmente difficoltà ad essere accolto nella Compagnia di Gesù soprattutto a causa del suo aspetto orribile, la brutta voce e i suoi modi rustici. Sulla base di tali caratteristiche i suoi biografi hanno ritenuto che i suoi genitori fossero poveri contadini. Entrò  nel Collegio Mamertino di Messina nell'ottobre 1517 grazie all'intervento del padre gesuita Ludovico Ungrìa che i medici e superiori avevano inviato a Monforte a recuperare la salute.

Dopo appena dieci mesi fu ritenuto pronto a svolgere il lavoro di insegnante e venne trasferito a Palermo dove rimase per tre anni. Quindi fu rimandato a Messina dove si fermò per nove anni consecutivi svolgendo i compiti di docente e predicatore. Qui divenne sacerdote nel 1566 e sviluppò l'attività  che lo rese maggiormente famoso, quella di drammaturgo. Scrisse e rappresentò tra il 1562 e il 1569 sei tragedie in lingua latina; tre di argomento biblico: Nabucodhonosor (Nabucodonosor), Opera scomparsa, Goliath (Golia), Juditha (Giuditta)  Christus Nascens (Il Natale), Christus Patiens (La Passione), Christus Judex (Cristo Giudice).

Dopo un ulteriore periodo trascorso a Palermo ottenne di recarsi a Roma dove negli anni 1573-1574 fu prefetto degli studi nel Seminario romano ma soprattutto completò i suoi studi teologici.

Intanto nel 1572, a Milano, il Palazzo di Brera era passato ai gesuiti che vi avevano aperto un collegio e l'Arcivescovo Carlo Borromeo aveva chiesto ai gesuiti di inviare come docente il teologo più prestigioso di allora, Roberto Bellarmino che si trovava a Lovanio nelle Fiandre. Inizialmente il Preposito generale dei Gesuiti Everardo Marcuriano aveva deciso di accontentarlo. Ma successivamente decise di utilizzare Bellarmino per altro compito e inviò in sua vece Stefano Tuccio qualificandolo come uno "dei maggiori soggetti della Compagnia, in virtù e in dottrina, quasi in ogni sorte di lettere". Ma Tuccio in realtà non fu assegnato al collegio milanese bensì al prestigioso collegio di Padova che apparteneva anch'esso alla Provincia Lombarda. Qui Tuccio insegnò Teologia scolastica negli anni 1575-1577. Ma a Padova Tuccio non si trovò per niente bene per cui il Generale lo trasferì prima a Loreto per insegnare Teologia morale (1577-1579) e poi al Collegio romano dove dal 1579 al 1582 insegnò Teologia scolastica. Nel 1583 il nuovo Preposito generale padre Claudio Acquaviva lo incaricò di coordinare i lavori per la redazione della Ratio atque Institutio Studiorum Societatis Iesu. Alla pubblicazione della prima edizione del lavoro (21 aprile 1586) fece seguito la revisione del testo e che portò alla Ratio del 1591 a cui Tuccio contribuì in modo veramente notevole.Il testo venne quindi inviato alle province perché fosse applicato In quel periodo Tuccio svolse anche i compiti di Rettore della Penitenzeria (1591-1593), Esperto di Casi di Coscienza nonché Oratore papale. Nel 1592 si manifestarono i primi sintomi del male che lo portò alla morte, una forma tumorale a collo. Morì a Roma il 21 gennaio 1597 con fama di santità.

Tuccio drammaturgo
Stefano Tuccio ha composto cinque opere teatrali:
 Nabucodhonosor
 Goliath
 Juditha
 Christus Nascens
 Christus Patiens
 Christus Judex

Tuccio oratore
Padre Tuccio pronunciò a Roma tre orazioni: la prima nel 1579 quando papa Gregorio XIII, si recò al Collegio Romano, la seconda quando lo stesso Pontefice il 28 ottobre 1584 andò a benedire il nuovo edificio del Collegio Romano e l'ultima nella Basilica di San Pietro il 17 aprile 1585 in occasione della morte del papa. Tuccio pronunciò altri due discorsi, uno sulla Passione di Cristo il Venerdì santo del 1583 alla presenza di Gregorio XIII e l'altro sul medesimo argomento nel 1586 alla presenza di Sisto V.

Scritti storici, biblici, teologici
Padre Tuccio è autore di numerosi scritti storici, biblici e teologici. Ne riportiamo alcuni :

 Cronologia sive Annales omnium regnorum a prima hominum memoria ad Neronis usque principatum.
 Disputatio de Praedestinatione.

Krabaten 3 är en kulturhistoriskt värdefull fastighet i kvarteret Krabaten vid Strandvägen 13 på Östermalm i Stockholm. Byggnaden uppfördes 1895–1896 efter ritningar av arkitekten Carl Kleitz och är grönmärkt av Stadsmuseet i Stockholm vilket innebär "särskilt värdefull från historisk, kulturhistorisk, miljömässig eller konstnärlig synpunkt".

Byggnadsbeskrivning

Den då nybildade fastigheten Krabaten 3 hade förvärvats av byggmästaren Sven Fritiof Wennerholm 1895. Han verkade under 1800-talets slut i Stockholm som byggmästare, byggherre och fastighetsägare. För Krabaten 3 uppges i Bebyggelseregistret en C. Sandelius som byggherre, enligt Stockholms adresskalender (1897–1903) var dock Wennerholm fastighetsägare innan han sålde fastigheten till löjtnant A.H. Wahlin.

Granntomten i väster, Strandvägen 11 (Krabaten 4) bebyggdes året innan efter ritningar av arkitekterna Gustav Lindgren och Kasper Salin och på granntomten i öster, Strandväven 15 (Krabaten 2) byggde man samtidigt där var arkitekt Johan Laurentz.

Wennerholm anlitade arkitekt Carl Kleitz att gestalta den nya byggnaden. Kleitz ritade ett påkostad hus i fem våningar med souterrängplan och en fasadbredd mot Strandvägen motsvarande sju fönsteraxlar. Gathuset sammanbyggdes genom en flygel med gårdshuset som fick fyra våningar. Ytterligare en flygel begränsar innergården mot väster. Upp till våning två trappor kläddes fasaden mot Strandvägen i rusticerade i grov- och släthuggen sand- och kalksten, däröver murades fasaden i gult tegel med dekorativa kalkstenspartier över fönster och balkongdörrar. Som bruklig gestaltades fasaderna mot innergården enklare, de utfördes i ockrafärgad slätputs.

Balkongerna fick sirliga, utbuktande smidesräcken. Huvudentréns portalöverstycke gestaltades i huggen kalksten. Yttertaket täcktes av skiffer. Mittpartiet accentuerades av en fronton som sträckte sig högt över takfoten. Arrangemanget förändrades i samband med en fullständig om- och påbyggnad på 1910-talet som genomfördes efter ritningar av arkitekt Oscar Waller.

Originalritningar från 1895

Interiör
Byggherren vände sig till den bättre bemedlade samhällsklassen vilket återspeglade sig i husets planlösning. Gathusets västra lägenhet bestod av fem rum och kök, den östra av sju rum och kök och gårdshuset av två fyrarummare med kök. Rumsbeteckningarna påminner om en herrgård med salong, herrum, sal, förmak, matsal, sängkammare och jungfrurum. Huset fick två huvudtrappor och två kökstrappor. Några badrum fanns inte men man hade torrtoalett i lägenheten. Vattentoaletter samt badrum tillkom 1908. I souterrängvåningen mot Strandvägen anordnades affärslokaler, i en av dem låg i början av 1900-talet ett konditori.

Trappsteg och vilplan belades med vit marmor med svart bård. Trapphusfönster utgörs av parvis välvda bågar glasade med färgat blyspröjsat glas. En hiss installerades i huvudtrappan 1905. I samband med Stadsmuseets byggnadsinventering på 1970-talet visade besökta lägenheter ursprunglig inredning med bland annat mönstrade parkettgolv, hög panel i hall, smygpaneler och vackra dörröverstycken. Salongstaken var i nyrokoko och salstaken fältindelade.

Bland hyresgästerna på 1950-talet märks grosshandlaren Juan Magnus Morales som på sin våning brukade framföra kammarmusik om kvällarna och spelade själv violin. Fastighetsägare är sedan 1997 bostadsrättsföreningen Strandvägen 13.

Stephen Trafton is a financial turnaround manager, land speed record holder, Arctic explorer and historian. In his position as the head of a major American bank, he also pursued a landmark breach-of-contract legal action against the U.S. Government. The suit asserted that the Federal Government is liable for damages due to a breach-of-contract on its part, even if that breach was caused by congressional action. This principle was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in a 7 to 2 ruling.

Career
In July 1990, during the Savings and Loan crisis, Stephen Trafton was hired by the nation's fifth largest S&L, Glendale Federal Bank, to devise a plan to save it from seizure by federal bank regulators. In March 1992, he was named Chairman, CEO and President of the bank and its holding company, Glenfed. Trafton then instigated and led one of the largest private (non government assisted) recapitalization and restructurings of a troubled financial institution in U.S. history. This action was credited with saving American taxpayers $4 - $5 billion, if it had been seized and liquidated by the federal Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC).  During his tenure, Trafton also oversaw a major breach-of-contract lawsuit against the Federal Government involving the passage and implementation of certain provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). Despite the government's arguments to the contrary, including the assertion that Trafton and Glendale were simply trying to defraud the Federal Government, the United States Supreme Court sided with Glendale. The court affirmed the principle that the U.S. Government cannot breach contracts with impunity. As a result, Glendale was initially awarded $908.9 million by the Court of Federal Claims. This was one of the largest ever judgments against the U.S.Government and helped to label Trafton as a turnaround specialist.
Trafton's successful court-case against the Federal Government was profiled in the Los Angeles Business Journal, Fortune Magazine, Business Week, The American Banker, Forbes, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and The Seattle Times.Trafton is also cited as an Arctic explorer, historical researcher, driver of the world's fastest Ferrari, author, and adventurer.

(écrit en capitales : ) est un single attribué à Ayumi featuring Dohzi-T and DJ Bass, sorti le  au Japon.

Présentation

C'est le premier disque enregistré par Ayumi Hamasaki, alors inconnue, sous le nom de scène Ayumi, accompagnée des rappeurs  et DJ Bass. Les trois titres du single (dont une version instrumentale de la chanson-titre) figureront sur son mini-album homonyme  qui sortira deux mois plus tard.

Le single est un échec commercial qui ne se classe pas à l'oricon. Après l'échec similaire de l'album, le label Nippon Columbia décidera de ne pas poursuivre son contrat avec la chanteuse, qui ne sortira pas d'autres disques pendant plus de deux ans, jusqu'à Poker Face en 1998 sur le label concurrent avex sous le nom de "Ayumi Hamasaki". En raison du succès ultérieur de l'artiste, ce single maintenant épuisé est généralement considéré comme un objet de collection. L'oricon ne le considère pas comme faisant partie de la discographie de "Ayumi Hamasaki" (puisque sorti sous l'appellation "Ayumi") et ne le compte pas dans ses statistiques sur l'artiste.

Appaloosa  is an offshore oil field located in the Mississippi Canyon blocks 459, 460, 503, and 504 of the United States sector of the Gulf of Mexico. It is a part of the Greater Longhorn area. The field is developed by the Italian energy company Eni.

History
Eni submitted an application to drill, complete and test five exploratory wells on the Appaloosa prospect in 2005. Two wells were drilled in 2007 by the Transocean-owned drillship Deepwater Millennium. However, oil was not discovered. In May 2008, oil was discovered by the Transocean-owned semi-submersible drilling rig GSF Celtic Sea The field development was approved in December 2008. A development well is drilled by semi-submersible drilling rig Transocean Amirante.

In June 2010, Eni stopped development of the project due to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Development
The wells will be tied-back to the Corral platform (previously named the Crystal platform). The contract for the tie-back engineering and construction is awarded to Technip. Offshore installations are done by Technip's deepwater pipe-laying ship Deep Blue.

Die TaylorMade Golf Company, Inc ist ein Hersteller von Golfausrüstung, insbesondere von Golfschlägern. Das Unternehmen hat seinen Sitz in Carlsbad im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien.

Geschichte
Gary Adams, Sohn eines Golfpros, gründete die Firma 1979 als Ein-Mann-Unternehmen. Zuvor war er Handelsvertreter eines Unternehmens für Golf-Range-Zubehör. Er hatte beobachtet, dass mit den damals üblichen Drivern aus Holz die neuen Two-Piece-Bälle nicht weiter geschlagen wurden als mit Eisenschlägern. Deswegen entwickelte er in Eigenarbeit einen Driver aus Eisen, auch "Metal-Wood" genannt. Einzelne Profispieler überzeugte dieser neue Schläger, so dass sie ihn weiterempfahlen. So verbreitete sich der Schläger trotz anfänglicher Vorurteile. Die Sieger der PGA Championship 1984 (Lee Trevino) und 1985 (Hubert Green) schlugen mit TaylorMade-Drivern ab.

1984 kaufte der Wintersportspezialist Salomon das damals noch kleine TaylorMade. Zum sportlichen Erfolg kam das zur Expansion nötige Kapital. Die Produktlinien Burner und Burner Plus kamen auf den Markt, ebenso produzierte TaylorMade ab 1985 auch Putter. Im selben Jahr verlegte man den Sitz von Illinois nach Carlsbad, wo auch die Konkurrenten Callaway und Cobra Golf schon produzierten.

1998 wurde Salomon, und damit auch TaylorMade an die Adidas AG verkauft. Der Zusammenschluss mit Adidas sorgte für weiteres Wachstum. Nach dem Verkauf von Salomon verblieb TaylorMade im Adidas-Konzern.

2007 erzielte es einen Umsatz von 812 Millionen Euro, 2012 1,7 Milliarden US-Dollar und 2015 waren es 1,5 Milliarden.

Anfang Mai 2016 teilte die Adidas AG mit, dass sie beabsichtige sich aus dem Golfgeschäft zurückzuziehen und die Marken TaylorMade, Ashworth und Adams zu verkaufen. Lediglich die Marke Adidas Golf, welche Bekleidung und Schuhe herstellt, soll im Konzern verbleiben. Im Mai 2017 gab die Adidas AG den Verkauf von TaylorMade, Ashworth und Adams an die Beteiligungsgesellschaft KPS Capital Partners bekannt. Der Kaufpreis lag bei 425 Millionen US-Dollar.

Produkte und Marken
Eine traditionell starke Stellung hat TaylorMade bei Drivern. Mit Fairway-Hölzern, Rescues, Eisen, Wedges und Puttern wird die komplette Palette an Schlägern unter dieser Marke hergestellt. Wie andere Hersteller auch bringt TaylorMade ein breites Angebot wie Handschuhe, Bags, Kappen und weitere Ausrüstungsgegenstände auf den Markt. Golfbälle wurden zwischenzeitlich sowohl unter dem Label TaylorMade als auch von dem damaligen Tochterunternehmen Maxfli hergestellt. Diese reine Golfballmarke wurde 2003 von der Dunlop Slazenger Group Limited übernommen. Februar 2008 verkaufte man die Marke Maxfli an Dick's Sporting Goods. Im November 2008 erwarb man mit Ashworth Inc. einen Spezialisten in Golfbekleidung.

Spieler
Eine Vielzahl von Tourspspielern haben Ausrüsterverträge mit TaylorMade. Derzeit sind das bei den Frauen unter anderem Natalie Gulbis und Paula Creamer, bei den Herren zum Beispiel Camilo Villegas, Dustin Johnson, Edoardo Molinari, Jason Day, Retief Goosen, Robert Garrigus, Rory Sabbatini, Sergio García und auch Martin Kaymer. Seit 2017 spielt Tiger Woods Taylor Made.

Die Schlossgarde-Kompanie (auch Schlossgardekompanie) war in Preußen bis 1918 mit der Bewachung der königlichen Schlösser und Gärten beauftragt. Bei feierlichen Gelegenheiten trug sie hohe Grenadiermützen aus dem 18. Jahrhundert.

Die Schloßgarde-Kompanie bestand aus mindestens zwölf Jahre gedienten, halbinvaliden Unteroffizieren der Infanterie. Die Teilnahme an Feldzügen war erwünscht, militärische Auszeichnungen waren unbedingte Voraussetzung. Die Truppe ergänzte sich ausnahmslos aus Preußen. Das Kommando lag anfangs bei einem Feldwebel-Leutnant, später bei einem Flügeladjutanten. Die Kompanie zählte zwei Feldwebel-Sergeanten, fünf Feldwebel-Unteroffiziere und 62 Unteroffiziere. Nach 25 Dienstjahren erhielten die Unteroffiziere das Portepee sowie einen Degen mit Krone und wurden daher Krongardisten genannt.

Die Schloßgarde-Kompanie wurde am 30. März 1829 als Garde-Unteroffizier-Kompanie gegründet und am 3. Oktober 1861 umbenannt.

Fontanna Herkulesa (czes. Herkulova kašna) – zabytkowa fontanna znajdująca się na Górnym Rynku (czes. Horní náměstí) w mieście Ołomuniec w Czechach. Druga najstarsza z zespołu siedmiu barokowych ołomunieckich fontann.
Powstała w 1687 r. Składa się z kamiennej podmurówki (liczącej ze względu na pochyłość terenu od 2 do 3 stopni), kamiennego basenu na planie barokowo rozbudowanego wielokąta oraz wieńczącej go kompozycji rzeźbiarskiej. Autorem tej kompozycji był artysta ze Znojma Michael Mandík. Fontanna stała pierwotnie u północno-zachodniego narożnika ratusza. W obecne miejsce (na wysokości frontu ratusza) została przeniesiona w roku 1716 w związku z rozpoczęciem budowy kolumny Trójcy Przenajświętszej.

Rzeźba przedstawia ponadludzkiej wielkości postać antycznego, mitycznego herosa Herkulesa, ustawioną na czworokątnym postumencie pośrodku basenu. Herkules na lewej ręce trzyma symbol miasta występujący w jego herbie - orlicę pokrytą szachowanym wzorem. Chroni ją przed siedmiogłową Hydrą, którą gromi maczugą trzymaną w prawej ręce. Z paszczy Hydry ciekną strumienie wody. Na ciele potwora artysta umieścił swą sygnaturę: "Mandik".

The Edward Schulmerich House is a two-story private residence on East Main Street in downtown Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. Completed in 1915, the American Craftsman Bungalow style structure was constructed for state senator Edward Schulmerich and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The building retains much of the original materials used in finishing the interior, including the linoleum in the kitchen and built-in cabinets of this Airplane Bungalow.

History
Edward Schulmerich was born in 1863 and moved to Oregon with his family in 1869. In 1906, he helped to found the Hillsboro Commercial Bank and later became the president of the bank. Schulmerich built a new two-story bank building in 1911 at Second and Main streets. The later merchant and member of the Oregon Legislative Assembly, had a new residence built in 1915 on Main Street at Sixth Avenue on the large corner property.

He had traveled to Pasadena, California, that year and discovered the arts and crafts style bungalows built there and returned with plans for a house in that style. Schulmerich died in 1937, and in 1967 Joan Krahmer purchased the house from a Mr. Mays. On February 28, 1991, the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2003, the residence was featured in the magazine American Bungalow. As of 2005, Krahmer, a columnist for The Hillsboro Argus and former teacher at Hillsboro High School, still owned the property that retained original elements that included the linoleum and cabinets in the kitchen, bookcases on the second floor, many lighting fixtures, and sugar and flour bins.

Details
Designed in the Airplane Bungalow style of residence, the design is meant to resemble an airplane with its smaller second story that provides a 360 degree view much like a cockpit. Other features that mimic aircraft are overhanging eaves and a low angle roof that combined resemble the wings of an airplane. The design exhibits the excitement generated by the early years of airplanes.

Inside, the building has an open floor plan and comprises 4,000 square-feet. Prominently featured is a large, arched brick fireplace with a mantle of green tiles. Also inside are oak paneling in the dining room, a built-in ironing station, lead glass windows, boxed beams, a cooling closet, built-in bookcases, a lift from the basement for firewood, and wainscoting. The built in cabinets and flooring were made from quartersawn oak. These cabinets include doors with leaded glass. Two bedrooms are located on the second floor, designed for ventilation during the warmer months and lined with a total of 34 windows.

On the outside of the home is a wraparound porch protected by the roof which includes overlapping gabled dormers. There are large, L-shaped brick piers on the porch which, along with the chimneys, was built using clinker bricks. These cast-off bricks were also used to build the large brick foundation. Landscaping features purple wisteria that hangs on the porch. Wood and stucco make up the siding on the exterior.

Ctenolophonaceae – monotypowa rodzina roślin okrytonasiennych z rzędu malpigiowców. Obejmuje rodzaj Ctenolophon w obrębie którego wyróżnia się dwa gatunki. Ctenolophon englerianus występuje w nizinnych lasach środkowo-zachodniej Afryki, a Ctenolophon parvifolius na półwyspie Malajskim i archipelagu Malajskim.

Morfologia
Okazałe drzewa osiągające do 40 m wysokości z pniami do 1,2 m średnicy. Liście są naprzeciwległe, pojedyncze i krótkoogonkowe (ogonek liściowy ma poniżej 1 cm długości). Blaszki liściowe są owalne do eliptycznych, na końcu zaostrzone i osiągają 10 cm długości (rzadko do 15 cm) oraz 6 cm szerokości (rzadko do 9 cm). Promieniste, pięciokrotne i obupłciowe kwiaty zebrane są w szczytowe wiechy, rzadziej wyrastające w kątach liści. Działki kielicha w liczbie 5 są szerokoeliptyczne. Płatki korony także w liczbie 5 są wąskie, osiągają do 12 mm długości. Pręciki w liczbie 10 wyrastają z kubeczkowatego dysku i mają nierówną długość. Górna zalążnia składa się z dwóch owocolistków i pokryta jest długimi, prostymi włoskami. W 2 komorach znajdują się po 2 zalążki. Prosty słupek zakończony jest dwoma główkowatymi znamionami. Owocem jest drewniejąca, zwykle jednonasienna torebka pękająca wzdłuż swej osi. Nasiono jest elipsoidalne i osiąga 2 cm długości.

Systematyka
Przynależność zaliczanych tu gatunków długi czas budziła kontrowersje wśród taksonomów. Opisywane były zwykle jako spokrewnione lub bezpośrednio włączane do lnowatych (Linaceae). Z badań molekularnych wynika, że rośliny te stanowią grupę siostrzaną dla kladu obejmującego krasnodrzewowate (Erythroxylaceae) i korzeniarowate (Rhizophoraceae) w obrębie malpigiowców (Malpighiales). Taką też pozycję rodzina ta zajmuje w systemie APG III z 2009, APG IV z 2016 i według APweb.

Herea (; en ) fou una ciutat d'Arcàdia, la més important del curs del riu Alfeu. El seu territori es deia Hereàtida, situat prop de la frontera amb l'Èlida, amb la qual limitava pel riu Erimant, i era format per vuit petites viles, totes a la riba de l'Alfeu o dels afluents Ladó i Erimant, unificades pel rei espartà Cleombrot o Cleònim. La unitat municipal d'Iraia pren el nom de l'antiga ciutat.

La llegenda atribueix la fundació d'Herea a Hereos, fill de Licàon, i el seu primer nom hauria estat Sologorgos. A un període molt antic (vers el 580 aC) la ciutat va concertar un tractat de defensa mútua per cent anys amb Elis, i el tractat, gravat en una tauleta de bronze en dialecte peloponnesi antic, és avui al Museu Britànic. Amb aquest tractat Elis va poder consolidar la seva supremacia sobre els veïns districtes de Pisàtida i Trifília. Per altra banda, l'aliança d'Herea amb Esparta va provocar l'hostilitat de la resta de ciutats d'Arcàdia, que van assolar el territori d'Herea el 370 aC.

Després la ciutat fou membre de la Lliga Aquea, i es va enfrontar amb Elis que era una de les principals ciutats de la Lliga Etòlia. Va caure en mans de Felip V de Macedònia (que el 219 aC va reconstruir el pont prop de la ciutat que creuava l'Alfeu) però finalment fou retornada a la Lliga Aquea. Pausànies l'esmenta com una ciutat mitjana amb temples (dos d'ells dedicats a Dionís, un a Pan, i un a Hera, aquest darrer en ruïnes), banys, plantacions i molts arbres a la vora de l'Alfeu. Posteriorment va romandre despoblada i és esmentada com a deserta en temps d'Estrabó.

Les seves ruïnes es troben prop de la desembocadura del riu Ladó, a la vila d'Aiánni ('Sant Joan'). A la zona es cultiven les vinyes de raïm negre i els cultius van eliminar bona part de les ruïnes. El vi d'Herea ja era conegut a l'antiguitat i se li atribuïa contribuir a la fertilitat de les dones. La ciutat era al camí que portava d'Olímpia cap d'Arcàdia; també arribava a la ciutat un camí del nord d'Arcàdia, i altres venien de Megalòpolis, Messene i Figàlia. Un pont creuava l'Alfeu prop de la ciutat.

Turning Point USA (TPUSA), or Turning Point, is an American nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative politics on high school, college, and university campuses. It was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery. TPUSA's sister organizations include Turning Point Endowment, Turning Point Action, Students for Trump, and Turning Point Faith. TPUSA has been described as the fastest growing organization of campus chapters in America, and according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, TPUSA "is now the dominant force in campus conservatism".

The organization started Professor Watchlist, a website that claims to expose professors that TPUSA says "discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom". According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, TPUSA has attempted to influence student government elections in an effort to "combat liberalism on college and university campuses." In 2021, TPUSA also started the School Board Watchlist website. It publishes the names and photos of school board members who have adopted mask mandates or anti-racist curricula.

TPUSA annually hosts several conferences on various topics throughout the year, such as the Student Action Summit, Young Women's Leadership Summit, Young Black Leadership Summit, AmericaFest, and Young Latino Leadership Summit. The organization is funded by conservative donors and foundations, including Republican Party politicians.

History

At Youth Government Day in 2012, 18-year old Charlie Kirk gave a speech at Benedictine University. Impressed by the teenager, seasoned political operative Bill Montgomery encouraged Kirk to postpone college and engage full-time in political activism. In June 2012, the day after Charlie Kirk graduated from high school, he founded Turning Point USA, a section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Montgomery became Kirk's mentor, and worked behind the scenes handling the paperwork for the organization. Montgomery often described himself as the group's co-founder, although it was not an official recognition by the group or Kirk.

At the 2012 Republican National Convention, Kirk met Foster Friess, a Republican donor, and persuaded him to finance the organization. Friess also serves on the organization's advisory council, alongside Ginni Thomas, wife of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Barry Russell, president and CEO of the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA), is a key advisor.

Between July 2016 and June 2017, the organization raised in excess of US$8.2 million. The same year, leaked records found that the group had funnelled "thousands of dollars" into student governments to elect conservatives. Donors include Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus, former Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, Richard Uihlein, and the Donors Trust on behalf of private donors.

TPUSA says its mission is "to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government". TPUSA has three key beliefs about culture and politics, listed on its website:

 The United States of America is the greatest country in the history of the world.
 The US Constitution is the most exceptional political document ever written.
 Capitalism is the most moral and proven economic system ever discovered

Leadership and associates

Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk is a conservative activist.

In a 2015 speech at the Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley, Kirk said that he had applied to the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, and was not accepted. He said that "the slot he considered his went to 'a far less-qualified candidate of a different gender and a different persuasion'" whose test scores he claimed he knew. In 2017 he told The New Yorker that he was being sarcastic when he said it, and at a New Hampshire Turning Point event featuring Senator Rand Paul in October 2019 he claimed that he never said it.

Kirk addressed the 2016 Republican National Convention. In an interview with Wired magazine during the convention, Kirk said that while he "was not the world's biggest Donald Trump fan," he would vote for him, and that Trump's candidacy made Turning Point's mission more difficult. He spent the rest of the 2016 presidential campaign assisting with travel and media arrangements and running errands for Donald Trump Jr.

Several former employees and student volunteers for Turning Point claimed they had witnessed collusion between high-ranking Turning Point employees – including Kirk himself and top advisor Ginni Thomas – and the presidential campaigns of both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. The interactions included Kirk coordinating via email with two officials at a pro-Cruz super PAC to send student volunteers to work for the PAC in South Carolina, as well as two students being requested by Thomas herself, via voicemail, to distribute over 200 Cruz placards in Wisconsin. A former employee for Turning Point, who had been based in Florida, alleged that Turning Point had given the personal information of over 700 student supporters to an employee with Rubio's presidential campaign.

In October 2016, Kirk participated in a Fox News event along with Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Lara Trump that had a pro-Donald Trump tone. A Turning Point staff member wrote on Facebook that students who attended the event would have their expenses covered. The event led tax experts to say the organization's conduct may have violated its tax-exempt status, a charge disputed by Turning Point.

In 2019, Charlie Kirk became CEO of Students for Trump. In 2020, he was a keynote speaker on the first day of the Republican National Convention, calling President Donald Trump the "bodyguard of western civilization."

Bill Montgomery
Montgomery (1940–2020) was a marketing entrepreneur and onetime participant in the Tea Party movement. He launched Turning Point with Kirk in 2012 and served as the organization's secretary and treasurer until April 2020.

Montgomery died of complications resulting from contracting COVID-19 in July 2020.

Tyler Bowyer
Bowyer became the organizations's chief operating officer (COO) in 2017.  He graduated from Arizona State University in 2012 with a bachelor's degree.  He was chairman of the Republican Party of Maricopa County, AZ, for two years before joining TPU as regional manager in 2015. Bowyer also oversees Students for Trump. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and part of an effort in August 2020 to launch a "Latter-day Saints for Trump" coalition.

Others
In February 2019, Turning Point hired Benny Johnson as chief creative officer. Johnson had been fired by BuzzFeed for plagiarism in 2014 and suspended by the Independent Journal Review in 2017 for publishing a conspiracy theory about Barack Obama.

In May 2019, communications director Candace Owens resigned after controversial remarks she made in December 2018 were publicized and some Turning Point campus chapters called for her resignation. She had said in a speech at a conservative event in London that "if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay fine. The problem is ... he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize." She later stated that "leftist journalists" had mischaracterized her statement.

In May 2019, it was reported that TPUSA's director for high school outreach, Kyle Kashuv, had previously used racially inflammatory language in a Google Document. Kashuv resigned from TPUSA hours after his former classmates threatened to make the screenshots from the document public. Almost a week after the screenshots were published, Kashuv acknowledged that his comments were "callous and inflammatory".

In 2021, political activist Jack Posobiec joined TPUSA to host the show Human Events Daily.

Finances
Turning Point USA receives funding from a cohort of conservative and right-wing donors and foundations, including several Republican politicians. According to the Center for Media and Democracy, donors include:

 Marcus Foundation (Bernard Marcus): $1,573,000 in 201518
 Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner: $100,000 in 2014
 Darwin Deason: $510,000 in 2014
 Ed Uihlein Family Foundation (Richard Uihlein): $750,000 in 201418
 Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation: $232,500 in 201418, $100,000 in 2019
 Donors Trust (on behalf of a cohort of right-wing private donors): $610,000 in 2017
 Thomas W. Smith Foundation: $400,000 in 201418
 Einhorn Family Charitable Trust: $120,000 in 201418

Turning Point USA also contributes money to its affiliated operational organizations, including Turning Point Endowment.

In the 201617 financial year, Turning Point reported US$8.2 million in donations to the IRS, an increase from $4.3 million the previous year. The same year, expenses for the group doubled, reaching $8.3 million, most of which were employment related costs ($4.3 million). In 2017, leaked records found that the group had funnelled "thousands of dollars" into student governments to elect conservative candidates.

In 2019, TPUSA's reported revenues from donors were $28.5 million, and CEO Charlie Kirk's compensation was $292,423.

Turning Point USA's revenues have grown from $78,000 in 2013 to $39.8 million in 2020. In 2020, Turning Point Endowment had revenues of $16,576,350.

In August 2021, Turning Point USA distributed a "2021 Investor Prospectus" that sought to raise $43 million for its national field program, events, media, productions, special projects, Turning Point Academy, and Turning Point Faith. The document stated "'The Left's plan is a path of destruction, a turning back of the clock 500 years to a past that's deficient of Western influence'" and that "[s]chools in this country have become intolerant and nihilistic dens of anti-American hate as Leftist professors slander our country with impunity and radical mobs shut down conservative speech entirely."

Activities
In late 2017, the organization claimed to have representation on 1,000 campuses. Journalist Joseph Guinto could not verify the number in 2018, finding that Turning Point had 400 officially registered chapters, many of whom showed no activity on their Facebook pages. Each of Turning Point's paid workers is supposed to meet a quota to make at least 1,500 student contacts per semester. Student volunteers have several different themes for promoting conservative ideas, including "The Healthcare Games", "Game of Loans", and "iCapitalism". According to The Washington Post, TPUSA centers "group membership on making provocative claims and publicly inciting outrage".

Turning Point USA supports the NRA and the use of fossil fuels, and opposes groups such as Black Lives Matter. Turning Point USA and Turning Point UK promote the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory and said they are working to "combat it" in universities. Kirk described universities as "islands of totalitarianism".

Annual summits
Turning Point holds several annual national conferences, including the Student Action Summit and the Young Women's Leadership Summit (YWLS). The National Rifle Association (NRA) was the headline sponsor of the YWLS in 2017 and 2018.  According to The New York Times, YWLS "styles itself as an alternative to a liberal culture of feminism that many Republicans characterize as oppressive" and had by 2018 "evolved into an ultra-Trumpian event complete with 'lock her up' chants and vulgar T-shirts disparaging Hillary Clinton." Candace Owens, who days prior to the 2018 conference stirred controversy by saying "the entire premise of #metoo is that women are stupid, weak, and inconsequential", was greeted with a standing ovation at the conference. Turning Point also hosts the Young Black Leadership Summit and the Young Latino Leadership Summit. Turning Point provided lodging and some meals for the attendees who could also apply for travel stipends. Turning Point USA also launched AmericaFest, a four-day conference that featured conservative speakers such as Donald Trump, Jr., and Sarah Palin interspersed with country music acts in December 2021.

On August 11, 2022, Alejandro Richard Velasquez Gomez, a 19-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, was arrested after making "credible threats" on Instagram against attendees of the Student Action Summit, an annual conference hosted by Turning Point USA for young conservatives in Tampa, Florida. Velasquez bought a plane ticket from Austin to Tampa, but cancelled his flight the night before the summit. The threat, made on Instagram under the username "LatinoZoomer", mirrored the language used by Elliot Rodger in his statements made before going on a deadly spree in Isla Vista, California, in 2014.

Young Women's Leadership Summit
The 2022 summit, a conference to promote women's leadership, encouraged women to get married, have children, and become homemakers. Kyle Rittenhouse, a young man who gained notoriety for murder charges in a Kenosha , was brought on stage as the "kind of man they "should want to be attracted to".

Professor Watchlist

First appearing on November 21, 2016, Turning Point USA also operates a website called Professor Watchlist. Kirk has said the site is "dedicated to documenting and exposing college professors who discriminate against conservative students, promote anti-American values, and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom." , more than 250 professors have been added to the site. Reporting from Politico has described that the list contains many inaccuracies, and includes professors listed for things they did not exactly say or do and others listed for being rude to students or for making "clever remarks" about Trump. Talking to New York Times, "Mr. Lamb", a director of constitutional enforcement and transparency at TPUSA admitted that the list was "simply aggregating" academics who had been subject to news reports, and that anyone could report a staff member without evidence.

The website has been criticized for using surveillance type propaganda to manipulate ideas of truth, equality, and freedom. Critics have compared Professor Watchlist to the actions of U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, who tried to publicly identify American citizens as Communists and Communist sympathizers in the 1950s. The New York Times wrote that it was "a threat to academic freedom," while Salon commented that it was "a sign of the stupidity of the post truth era."

In May 2017, Northern Arizona University criminology professor Luis Fernandez said Turning Point surveillance of him had led to multiple threats. In The Harvard Crimson, Harvard University Professor Danielle Allen also said she had been threatened after being targeted by Charlie Kirk and Turning Point.

Hans-Joerg Tiede, a staff member of the American Association of University Professors said of a professor who was named for writing a book chapter on teaching mathematics to minority ethnic children: "She was inundated with death threats. She was Jewish and received antisemitic threats and threats of sexual assault. Instances like that are happening with some regularity". The American Association of University Professors has also called for university administrators, governing bodies, faculty and individuals to "speak out clearly and forcefully to defend academic freedom and to condemn targeted harassment and intimidation of faculty members", with the New York Times describing the site as a threat to academic freedoms.

The Professor Watchlist currently includes Al Sharpton, Angela Y. Davis, Michael Eric Dyson, Ibram X. Kendi, Robin D.G. Kelley, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Joy Reid, Noam Chomsky, James Comey, John Brennan, Hunter Biden, and Peter Strzok.

Involvement in student government elections
Turning Point USA has been involved in influencing student government elections at a number of colleges and universities. Universities that have been targeted by this effort have included Ohio State University, the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and the University of Maryland. These claims led to conservative candidates at the University of Maryland withdrawing from student elections after failing to report assistance from Turning Point.

A private brochure, handed out only to Turning Point donors, highlighted the organization's alleged strategy to take over student governments at universities across the country, and included a list of every Turning Point-supported student who was elected to student government positions in the year 2017. Turning Point said that it had helped more than 50 conservatives win elections to become student-body presidents. When Politico looked into Turning Point's claims, it found the "success rate to be considerably overstated. Some of the students that Turning Point USA claimed to have backed flatly condemned the organization and said they'd never spoken to anyone who works for it."

School Board Watchlist
In 2021, TPUSA launched the School Board Watchlist, a site Kirk said would "hold district leaders accountable for 'dangerous agendas'." The website publishes names and photos of members of school boards that have adopted or supported mask mandates, mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations, and the way history, race, and conceptions of gender and sex are taught in schools.

Activism

In 2016, Turning Point at Grand Valley State University filed a lawsuit against the trustees of the school. The complainants asked the court to prohibit enforcement of GVSU's Speech Zone policy and declare it a violation of the students' 1st and 14th Amendment freedoms. They have since reached a settlement.

In September 2017, a University of Nebraska lecturer, Courtney Lawton was reassigned after a video was posted online showing her confronting a student recruiting for TPUSA.

In October 2017, several Turning Point student members at Kent State University conducted a protest against campus "safe space" culture, which involved members dressing up in diapers as babies. Following widespread ridicule on social media, the president of the chapter, Kaitlin Bennett, resigned, and the student-run publication KentWired.com reported that the Turning Point chapter at Kent State had disbanded.

Media
In October 2020, Kirk began hosting a daily three-hour radio talk show on Salem Media's "The Answer" radio channel.

In September 2021, TPUSA launched TPUSA LIVE, a three-hour streaming talk show featuring host John Root and selling "Save America" merchandize.

Turning Point USA's online audience grew from an average of 83,000 to 111,000 in 2020. A dozen social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram combined have more than 10 million followers online.

In 2021, the TPUSA Productions film "A Long Walk in Socialism" was the Rocky Mountain Emmy Award recipient in the category Cultural/Topical documentary.

In 2022, Turning Point USA in partnership with Salem Media Group released "Border Battle", a docuseries about America's southern border.

Political activities

2016 presidential election

Several former employees and student volunteers for Turning Point claimed they had witnessed collusion between high-ranking Turning Point employees – including Kirk himself and top advisor Ginni Thomas – and the presidential campaigns of both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. The interactions included Kirk coordinating via email with two officials at a pro-Cruz super PAC to send student volunteers to work for the PAC in South Carolina, as well as two students being requested by Thomas herself, via voicemail, to distribute over 200 Cruz placards in Wisconsin. A former employee for Turning Point, who had been based in Florida, alleged that Turning Point had given the personal information of over 700 student supporters to an employee with Rubio's presidential campaign.

A Turning Point staff member wrote on Facebook that students who attended the event would have their expenses covered. The event led tax experts to say the organization's conduct may have violated its tax-exempt status, a charge disputed by Turning Point.

2020 presidential election

In September 2020, Turning Point USA's affiliate Turning Point Action was reported by The Washington Post to have paid young people in Arizona, some of them minors, to produce thousands of posts with Turning Point content on their own social media accounts and on fake accounts without disclosing their relationship with Turning Point. According to an examination by the newspaper and an independent data science specialist, the campaign was highly coordinated and included similar messaging under the instruction of Turning Point to prevent detection.

In September 2020, Facebook removed 200 accounts and 55 pages as well as 76 Instagram accounts linked to Turning Point USA's marketing agency Rally Forge. The agency had paid teenagers in Phoenix, Arizona, on Turning Point's behalf to use their own and fake accounts and pages for thousands of posts boosting Trump and disparaging Democratic candidate Joe Biden during the 2020 United States presidential election. In October 2020, Facebook banned Rally Forge permanently while Twitter suspended 262 accounts from its platform. Neither organization penalized Turning Point USA or its affiliates, stating that they "could not determine the extent to which the group's leaders were aware of the specific violations carried out on their behalf, such as the use of fake accounts."

Turning Point hosted Trump reelection rallies, some of them featuring Trump surrogates and some of them Trump himself.

2021 United States Capitol attack

After the 2020 election, Kirk disputed the results and denied that Trump had lost. On January 4, 2021, Kirk announced that Turning Point would be sending more than 80 buses to a January 6, 2021, Trump rally near the White House in Washington, D.C, to protest the outcome of the election. They sent seven buses with approximately 350 participants. The rally, which was attended by several thousand Trump supporters, ended in a riot and the attack at the U.S. Capitol, where Biden's win was about to be certified. Kirk later deleted the tweet and said on his podcast that it was "bad judgment" and "not wise" to enter the Capitol but not necessarily insurrectionist.

Activities on campuses
At Drake University, Turning Point was denied recognition as an official student organization based on student senate concerns that the organization has "a hateful record," "aggressive marketing" and "an unethical privacy concern."

At Hagerstown Community College, a student's attempt to start a Turning Point group was initially blocked when the school said the organization duplicated an existing group. The student's lawsuit led to the school revising its policy on student organizations, clarifying that school funded groups will be denied if they duplicate existing groups while unfunded groups face no such restriction.

In February 2017, Santa Clara University's student government voted to deny recognition for Turning Point as a campus organization. As of March 2017, this decision was overturned by the Vice Provost for Student Life, and Turning Point has been recognized as a registered student organization.

Wartburg College's student senate voted to deny Turning Point USA recognition in late November. The chapter was forced to make changes to its constitution after initially being denied approval.

The Executive Board of the student union of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute also voted on January 18, 2018 to deny the Turning Point USA chapter status as an officially recognized student organization.

Wichita State University's student court overturned a decision by the student senate denying a Turning Point Chapter recognition on Campus.  The student court vote was unanimous that the denial of recognition was unconstitutional.

Controversies
In December 2017, The New Yorker published an article by Jane Mayer showcasing interviews with former minority members of TPUSA. Former staff members said they witnessed widespread discrimination against minorities in the group, and stated "the organization was a difficult workplace and rife with tension, some of it racial." One former employee, an African-American woman, said she was the only person of color working for the organization at the time she was hired in 2014; she then said that she was fired on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The article also revealed text messages sent by Crystal Clanton – who was a leading figure in the organization and served as the group's national field director for five years – to another Turning Point employee saying "i hate black people. Like fuck them all ... I hate blacks. End of story." Kirk responded to the revelations by saying that "Turning Point assessed the situation and took decisive action within 72 hours of being made aware of the issue." The article also noted that Kirk had explicitly praised Clanton in his book Time for a Turning Point, saying that she had been "the best hire we ever could have made", and that "Turning Point needs more Crystals; so does America."

In an April 2018 article titled "Turning Point USA Keeps Accidentally Hiring Racists", HuffPost reported that the woman hired to replace Crystal Clanton had a history of using racial slurs, particularly against African-Americans, on Twitter before deleting her account. In response to the reports, Kirk referred to the individual in question as "a former employee" in his official statement (without clarifying when she had been fired), and Turning Point issued an internal memo announcing that all current and new staff would face social media background checks.

In the Hillsdale College Collegian, opinions editor Kaylee McGhee wrote an article titled "Charlie Kirk and TPUSA aren't conservative, as real conservatives already knew". In the article, McGhee referred to TPUSA as a "reactionary cancer" rather than a group supporting real conservatism that is "supposed to preserve the timeless principles of liberty and equality for all". In June 2018, conservative radio talk show host Joe Walsh resigned from the TPUSA board because Kirk was too closely tied to Donald Trump. Walsh said: "It's so important to not be beholden to politicians, but to be beholden to the issues ... When Charlie went to work for Trump, that crossed that line. You can't advance Trump and advance these issues."

During October and November 2019, Kirk launched the Culture War college tour of speaking events with appearances from many conservatives such as Donald Trump Jr., Lara Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle. These events were frequently targeted by homophobic and antisemitic members of the alt-right and far-right who consider TPUSA to be too mainstream and not sufficiently conservative. Concerted efforts were made by this group to ask leading questions during the Q&A sections on controversial topics such as Israel and LGBTQ issues in order to challenge the extent of the speakers' views.

In November 2019, the Dartmouth Review called TPUSA an organization that promoted Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump first, rather than conservative values. The article added "True conservatives must eventually outgrow TPUSA and devote their efforts elsewhere. We must challenge ourselves by pursuing an environment of rigorous inquiry, instead of being coddled by the intellectually devoid echo chamber of TPUSA, compromising our values for recognition."

In July 2022, neo-Nazis appeared outside of TPUSA's Student Action Summit in Tampa; they were subsequently not let in. Joy Behar of The View falsely stated that TPUSA invited and embraced neo-Nazi protesters and compared the summit to the Third Reich. The View later issued a retraction, clarifying that "Turning Point USA condemned the Neo-Nazi protesters who had 'nothing to do' with the organization." Host Whoopi Goldberg would later say, "But you let them in, and you knew what they were," and "My point was metaphorical." Following these comments, TPUSA issued a cease and desist request and a deadline of July 27, asking for The View to apologize. In a later episode meeting the deadline, members of The View fully retracted the statements and apologized for making the comparisons.

In January 2023, MSNBC opinion columnist Julio Ricardo Varela criticized Florida Republican congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, writing that she had "worked with what I consider to be a MAGA white supremacist cult: Turning Point USA." After Turning Point USA's lawyers sent MSBNC a cease-and-desist letter (in which they called the statement "defamatory"), MSNBC modified Varela's column with softer language, referring to  "Turning Point USA's connections to white nationalist beliefs."

Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center
In 2019, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has called TPUSA an alt-lite organization. Both the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center have criticized TPUSA for affiliating with activists from the alt-right and the far-right. The ADL has also reported that the group's leadership and activists "have made multiple racist or bigoted comments" and have links to extremism.

In 2018, the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch documented TPUSA's links to white supremacists.

Feud with Young America's Foundation
In May 2018, an internal memo written by Young America's Foundation (YAF) was leaked, in which YAF leadership warned its members to not associate with TPUSA. The memo accused TPUSA of various improprieties, such as exaggerating its number of chapters and activities around the country; taking credit for other organizations' events; increasing attendance at its own events by "boosting numbers with racists & Nazi sympathizers"; and sponsoring "humiliating" campus activism events (a reference to the Kent State diaper incident). In addition, the YAF memo included another memo on the subject circulated internally by Young Americans for Liberty, which accused TPUSA of illegally obtaining YAL's email list and soliciting its students without their permission, which Turning Point only stopped doing after being issued a cease-and-desist order.

After the memo was leaked in June 2018, a representative for TPUSA criticized YAF in a statement to The Chronicle of Higher Education, accusing the group of "abandoning the 'Reagan Rule, known as "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican". Although Kirk did not directly respond to the memo, he posted on Twitter that he wished "some conservatives fought the left as hard as they fight people who support President Trump". TPUSA's communications director Candace Owens directly responded to the memo, saying she was "truly speechless" over the memo criticizing Kirk for his lack of college experience. A former employee stated on Twitter that "TPUSA activists do some incredible work. It's a shame the face for their work has become constant, EXTREME inflation of numbers to mislead donors. They have an opportunity to turn this around, and they should."

Internal dissension

After TPUSA's annual "Student Action Summit" in late December 2018, dissidents within the organization, headed by conservative activist Kevin Martin, formed "Heal Our Voice", a group critical of Kirk's leadership of Turning Point USA. One member of the group told The Daily Beast that "Charlie Kirk can be a little bit of a snowflake — or a lot a bit of a snowflake." Other complaints concerned sexual harassment and assault at TPUSA events.

Alleged tax code violations

In 2017, Jane Mayer of The New Yorker described two separate actions by Turning Point staff in the 2016 election that appear to have violated campaign finance regulations. Charlie Kirk denied any wrongdoing and said it was "completely ludicrous and ridiculous that there's some sort of secret plan." TPUSA attorney Sally Wagenmaker refuted allegations of campaign finance irregularities in an article published by ProPublica in July 2020, stating that "payments to businesses belonging to organization officials 'provided a compelling operational benefit in Turning Point's best and other interests,' and that they were 'in full compliance with TPUSA's IRS-compliant conflict of interest policy.'"

COVID-19 misinformation
In 2021, TPUSA and Turning Point Action made misleading claims about planned vaccination policies, as well as the dangers of catching COVID-19.

Turning Point organizations

Turning Point Action

Turning Point Action is a 501(c)(4) organization representing right-wing and conservative perspectives. While the group claims to be a "completely separate organization" from Turning Point USA, Forbes noted that both were founded by Kirk and use common marketing and branding styles. Donors to Turning Point Action received a bumper sticker prominently featuring the URL of Turning Point USA's website; the bumper sticker was also available for purchase from Turning Point USA's web store.

In May 2019, it was reported that Kirk was "preparing to unveil" Turning Point Action, a 501(c)(4) entity allowed to target Democrats.

During the  2020 presidential election campaign Turning Point Action paid teenagers  in Arizona, some of them minors, to produce thousands of posts with Turning Point USA content on their own social media accounts without disclosing their relationship with the organization.

Turning Point Faith

In 2021, Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point Faith, an organization that says it is dedicated to "recruit pastors and other church leaders to be active in local and national political issues." The organization promotes a culture war agenda and is intended to attract supporters among religious conservatives. Its activities include faith-based voter drives "and educating members on TPUSA's core values." According to TPUSA's 2021 Investor Prospectus, the program—with a budget of $6.4 million—"will 'address America's crumbling religious foundation by engaging thousands of pastors nationwide' in order to 'breathe renewed civic engagement into our churches'." Its activities include faith-based voter drives "and educating members on TPUSA's core values."

Turning Point Endowment

Turning Point Endowment Inc. is a self-described "supporting organization" whose "mission is to support and benefit Turning Point USA's charitable purposes and long-term vitality."

Turning Point Academy

In 2021, TPUSA announced Turning Point Academy as an online academy for "families seeking an 'America-first education.'" Plans to develop a curriculum with StrongMind, the firm that owns Arizona charter school Primavera Online High School, were abandoned when StrongMind's key subcontractor, the Freedom Learning Group, an education company run by military spouses and veterans, terminated the contract after finding out that the client was TPUSA.

Foreign offshoots

In 2017, the loosely connected group Turning Point Canada registered a chapter in Canada.
In 2019, Turning Point UK was set up in the United Kingdom.
