title: Mission 31

text:
Mission 31 was an undersea expedition organized by Fabien Cousteau.  It was originally scheduled for November 2013, but was delayed to June 2014.  On June 1, Cousteau and six crew members descended to the undersea laboratory Aquarius in the Florida Keys.  Halfway through the expedition, three of crew were replaced, as had been planned.  After 31 days, Cousteau and the crew ascended on July 2.

Throughout Mission 31, Cousteau's team conducted extended scuba diving expeditions to collect scientific data and IMAX footage.  They hosted various one-day guests, conversed live with classrooms, and kept in touch with the outside world via social media.  Cousteau estimated that his team collected the equivalent of two years' worth of surface dive data, enough for 10 scientific papers.  Mission 31 was envisioned as a tribute to Cousteau's grandfather, Jacques Cousteau, who spent 30 days living underwater in 1963.  Fabien Cousteau thus beat his grandfather's record for time spent underwater by a film crew by one day.

Background
In 1963, French oceanographer and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau spent 30 days living underwater in Conshelf Two, in the Red Sea. The footage was turned into the Academy Award-winning film World Without Sun. Subsequently, his television show, The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau, was seen by audiences around the world.  Cousteau was one of the world's first advocates for governmental action in environmental protection and, by the time of his death in 1997, was one of the world's most famous television personalities.

Jacques Cousteau's grandson, Fabien Cousteau, organized Mission 31 as a tribute to his late grandfather. The mission had two goals — to gather scientific data and to raise funds for Aquarius, an underwater laboratory located at a depth of  below the surface, about  south of Key Largo. Aquarius is the world's only operating undersea laboratory. Measuring  by , it holds up to six people. It is pressurized, air conditioned, and has wireless Internet access. A typical mission lasts 10 days, with the longest previous mission lasting 18 days. Aquarius is owned by the United States government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and run by Florida International University.

Fabien Cousteau also hoped to break his grandfather's record for longest time spent underwater by a film crew, and draw the public's attention to environmental issues. According to Guinness World Records, the longest time anyone has spent underwater in a fixed environment is 73 days 2 hours 34 minutes. (A submarine spent 111 days under water.

Mission
Fabien Cousteau got the idea for Mission 31 when visiting Aquarius during a fundraiser aiming to keep the laboratory operating in the wake of federal budget cuts. It was originally scheduled to take place in November 2013, fifty years after Jacques Cousteau's original mission. When the United States federal government shutdown in October 2013, Fabien Cousteau elected to postpone the mission until the spring of 2014.

On June 1, 2014, Cousteau and five team members dived down to Aquarius. Joining Cousteau for the entire 31-day expedition were habitat technicians Mark "Otter" Hulsbeck and Ryan LaPete. The other three crew members — Kip Evans, Andy Shantz, and Adam Zenone — were replaced according to plan midway through the mission by Matt Ferraro, Liz Magee, and Grace C. Young. The crew included researchers from Florida International University, Northeastern University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For most of the crew, including Cousteau, it was their first saturation diving experience. Periodically, they were joined by "VIP guests" for a day, including Cousteau's father, Jean-Michel and sister Céline, actor Ian Somerhalder, and marine biologist Sylvia Earle. Rapper will.i.am and businessman-explorer Richard Branson were tentatively scheduled to visit had the expedition taking place in October 2013 as originally planned.

Days were spent diving to conduct experiments and gather data to study the effects of climate change and pollution on coral reefs, while the evenings were spent in Aquarius on lab work, relaxation and stress tests: Cousteau and his crew made themselves available for physiological and psychological tests to determine the effects of long-term living under the sea and without sunlight.  The crew also appeared on Weather Channel broadcasts periodically. They used a sonar device that records a wide range of frequencies and a slow-motion camera to capture more thorough data and installed tiny probes, less than the width of a human hair, into the coral reef. Among the animals seen during the expedition were eels, mantis shrimp, octopus, plankton, porkfish, snook, sponges, spotted eagle rays, starfish, tarpon, and various reef sharks. The crew also observed an Atlantic goliath grouper attack a barracuda, a scene which Shantz described as "something I never imagined happening".

Mission 31 was broadcast live 24 hours a day via the Internet, although the cameras were occasionally turned off to give the divers some privacy. Filming was done with sonar cameras to avoid disturbing the underwater life with artificial light. Team members were able to conduct live lectures for students and interact with the public through social media. The team primarily ate "astronaut-type food", as the limited space did not allow for ordinary food. Early in the expedition, the air conditioning in Aquarius broke, leading to  temperatures at 95% humidity until it could be fixed.

As they were undergoing 16 hours of decompression before resurfacing, the Mission 31 crew watched World Without Sun.

Funding
Mission 31 cost an estimated US$1.8 million.  It was paid for through corporate sponsorship and private donations, including a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.  Swiss watchmaker Doxa sold a Mission-31 dive watch for $2,890, with 25% of the funds going to the expedition.  Aquarius costs cost $15,000 a day to operate; the rest of the funds went to pay for equipment.

Impact
By working out of Aquarius instead of diving from the surface, Mission 31 crew members were able to scuba dive up to nine hours without surfacing or undergoing decompression. They were thus able to collect substantially more data in the time frame than otherwise would have been possible. Additionally, they were able to observe creatures at night, which would not be possible ordinarily. Cousteau estimated his team had collected the equivalent of two years' worth of data during the mission, enough for ten scientific papers. Shantz said during his two weeks, 12 terabytes of data were collected. Additionally, equipment was installed to monitor ocean acidification.

According to Cousteau's PR team, around 330 million people heard about Mission 31 while it was taking place. Florida International dean Michael Heithaus remarked "Fabian has helped us reach out to millions of people that we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise" and added "This is launching the age of Aquarius at FIU". An IMAX documentary film on the expedition is expected to be released within 18 months.

title: Broughton House

text:
Broughton House is an 18th-century town house standing on the High Street of Kirkcudbright, Scotland. It was the home of Scots impressionist artist E. A. Hornel between 1901 and his death in 1933. During this time Hornel remodelled the house and created the Japanese-influenced gardens. Since 1997 it has been in the care of the National Trust for Scotland, and is maintained as "a living museum of Hornel’s life and work". The house is a category A listed building, and the gardens are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.

History
The main building was constructed in 1734 as two houses, at no.10 and no.12 High Street. In 1740 they were both purchased by Alexander Murray, Provost of Kirkcudbright and MP, who had them remodelled as one. The Murray family sold it in 1756, after which it had various owners, including the 5th Earl of Selkirk.

Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864–1933) was brought up in Kirkcudbright, and as an artist was associated with the Glasgow Boys. In the 1890s he travelled to Japan, spending over a year making a series of around 30 paintings that were exhibited in Glasgow on his return in 1895. The proceeds from the sale of these paintings allowed him to spend £650 on buying Broughton House in 1901. Hornel lived at Broughton House with his sister Elizabeth ('Tizzy'), for the rest of his life. He commissioned his friend, the Glasgow architect John Keppie, to add a studio to the house, and in 1910 Keppie designed the gallery. A successful artist, Hornel continued to travel in the Far East, and also collected rare books. After Hornel's death in 1933, his sister continued to live at Broughton House until her death in 1950, after which the property was managed by The Broughton House Trust before being transferred to the National Trust for Scotland. In his will, Hornel wished that his house should "be preserved as a public art gallery for the benefit of the people of the Stewartry and visitors thereto".

House and gardens

The National Trust for Scotland maintain the house and its contents as a museum of Hornel's life and work. Within the house is a range of period furniture as well as artworks by Hornel and his contemporaries. The house also contains a large reference library of some 15,000 books collected by Hornel, including a 2,500-volume collection of works by or about Robert Burns, one of the largest such collections in the world.
The library also holds Hornel's personal archive of newspaper clippings, letters, and other material. The studio is maintained as it would have looked when the artist was at work. In the gallery is a frieze designed to imitate the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon.

The gardens, which back onto the River Dee, were laid out by Hornel and his sister and cover an area of around . The Japanese garden includes a rockery and a pond with stepping stones, while closer to the river a series of beds are divided by box hedging. A number of 17th-century and 18th-century sundials are sited in the garden, as well as late 17th-century carved stone gate posts.

title: James Murray (1727–1799)

text:
James Murray (1727 – 30 April 1799) was a landowner and politician from the Scottish Borders. He was a member of parliament (MP) from 1762 to 1774.

Early life and family

Murray was the first-born son of Alexander Murray of Broughton and his wife Lady Euphemia Stewart, daughter of the 5th Earl of Galloway.
He was educated at the University of Glasgow, and then went on a grand tour.

On his father's death, Murray inherited extensive estates in Scotland and Ireland. They included Broughton House in Kirkcudbright, Killybegs in County Donegal, and Cally House near Gatehouse of Fleet, which Murray rebuilt to the designs of Robert Mylne.

In 1726 he had married his first cousin Lady Catherine Stewart,
daughter of his mother's brother the 6th Earl of Galloway.
They had only one child, Alicia, who fell ill and died while on a holiday in Rome.
However, Murray had already fathered an illegitimate daughter, Ann, born in 1725. Ann was raised at the Murray's Cally estate, with support of Lady Catherine.

In 1762, James and Catherine Murray met the writer James Boswell. In Boswell's words, James was a "most amiable man, [who] has very good sense, great knowledge of the world, and easy politeness of manners". He described Catherine as "very beautiful and, what is more, very agreeable, being possessed of the most engaging affability".

Career

At the 1761 general election, Murray contested Wigtownshire on the interest of his relatives the Earls of Galloway, but lost by a small margin to John Hamilton of Bargany.
Murray lodged a petition, with the support of the Marquess of Rockingham, and a compromise was negotiated whereby Hamilton resigned and was found an alternative seat in Wigtown Burghs.

At the 1768 general election, the Earl of Stewart displaced Murray from the Wigtownshire seat in favour of his son Keith Stewart, who was Murray's brother-in-law and first cousin.
Murray was returned instead for Kirkcudbright Stewartry, but financial difficulties after the collapse of the Ayr Bank forced him to stand down in 1774. He voted regularly in Parliament, but did not speak in any debates.

From 1783 to 1784 Murray was the Receiver General of Land Tax for Scotland. From 1765 to 1773 he had been paid the salary for the job, without, actually doing it, and in 1766 he had turned down Rockingham's offer of formally taking the post.

He resigned as receiver in 1784, hoping to find another seat in Parliament, but the negotiations did not produce terms he could accept. Instead he eloped overseas with his mistress, whose child inherited his lands.

title: Galfridus Walpole

text:
Galfridus Walpole  (1683 – 7 August 1726) was a Royal Navy officer, politician and postmaster general of the Kingdom of Great Britain. He lost his right arm after a naval battle against the French in Vado Bay, Italy, in 1711 and commanded ships for another nine years. He sat in the House of Commons from 1715 to 1721, when he took office as joint postmaster general.

Early life
Walpole was born in 1683, the son of Robert Walpole and Mary Burwell of Houghton, Norfolk, and was the younger brother of the politician Sir Robert Walpole. In 1709 he married Cornelia Hays, but they had no children.

Naval career
In 1706 Walpole was commander of , a sixth-rate 24-gun frigate, followed by  and between 1707–1709 he commanded , a fifth-rate frigate. From 1710–1714 he was in charge of , a 60-gun fourth-rate ship of the line. His last commission was on  from 1716–1720, a ship that later became a royal yacht.

While commanding Lion, on 22 March 1711, Walpole's ship was in Vado Bay on the Italian coast in the Mediterranean as a lookout cruiser when it sighted four French ships. Amongst those who gave chase and engaged the enemy for about two hours was Lion, with the loss of forty men. Walpole was so badly injured that his right arm was amputated by the ship's surgeon, John Atkins. He sat up for two nights with Walpole, who gave the surgeon no thanks for the attention.

Political career

Walpole was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Lostwithiel, Cornwall, at the 1715 general election. Also in 1715, he was appointed to a sinecure post as Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital, London.  He was appointed joint postmaster general, on 8 April 1721  when he was required to vacate his seat in parliament, and also stood down as Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital. He remained in post as Postmaster General for the rest of his life. In 1725, he took out a lease on Westcombe Park, a country estate owned by Sir Gregory Page, 2nd Baronet.

Death
Walpole died without issue on 7 August 1726. He is buried at the Church of St Martin on his brother’s Houghton Hall estate.

Lord Nelson's sword
According to legend, Walpole's sword, used on HMS Lion, was given to a young Horatio Nelson, who is reported to have been carrying it when he too lost his right arm, in the Battle of Santa Cruz on 15 July 1797. The Walpole sword, which has a silver-hilted hanger, was made by Nixon Cutlers of London, has London silver hallmarks for 1752, and a 60 cm curved blade. Due to its provenance, the sword is known as the Galfridus Walpole — Suckling Sword, having been given to Walpole's godson and great nephew Maurice Suckling whose sister Catherine Suckling was Nelson's mother. William Suckling, Maurice's brother, gave the sword to Nelson, who wore his uncle's valued gift in his early career. The sword appears to have been returned to the Suckling family.

The sword was sold at auction by Sotheby's in late 2003 for £36,000, described as "believed to be that carried by Captain (later Admiral Lord) Horatio Nelson" and with extensive notes relating to the provenance and origins of the story that it was with Nelson at the time of his death. Some, however, have doubted the truth of the legend, and W. J. Andrew in Notes and Queries in 1922 argued that Nelson would be most unlikely to have used a hundred-year-old sword in battle.

text:
Albert Baertsoen (9 January 1866 – 9 June 1922) was a Belgian painter, pastellist and graphic artist.

Life and work
He was born in Ghent. His father was an industrialist and textile manufacturer. In 1882, he began attending the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under Gustave Den Duyts and Jean Delvin. His debut as a painter came in 1887, when he participated in an exhibition in Brussels held by the secessionist group l'Essor.

He continued his studies in Paris, at the art school of Alfred Philippe Roll, and exhibited at the Salon in 1889. The following year, he accompanied James Ensor, Frantz Charlet and other Belgian painters on a study trip to London. In 1894, he helped found the "Cercle des Beaux-Arts d'Ostende". The years 1894/95 saw another stay in Paris, where his painting "Oude Vlaamse Vaart" (Old Flemish Sails) was acquired by the Musée du Luxembourg and he participated in an exhibition held by La Libre Esthétique. From 1896 to 1901, he continued to exhibit throughout Europe, winning several Gold Medals.

In 1913, he served as a member of the art jury for the Ghent World's Fair. During World War I, he lived in London, returning to Ghent in 1919. That same year, he was appointed a member of the Royal Academy of Belgium. Two years later, a retrospective of his work was held at the Galerie Georges Giroux in Brussels. He died in Ghent in 1922.

title: George E. Mowry

text:
George Edwin Mowry (September 5, 1909 – May 12, 1984) was an American historian focusing primarily on the Progressive Era.  As a professor at UCLA and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he taught large classes and directed over 50 PhD dissertations.  Mowry published five books, co-authored six others and edited three books.  He published 10 book chapters, over 50 encyclopedia articles and over 100 book reviews in magazines and professional journals.  He joined John Donald Hicks as coauthor of a highly successful university textbook.  He was active in many organizations, especially the Organization of American Historians. His interpretation of the middle class foundation of the Progressive Era remains influential.

Early life and education
Mowry was born in Washington D.C., the son of James Reilly Mowry and Ibby (Green) Mowry.  He grew up in Ohio, attending high school and graduating from Miami University in 1933.  Teachers in high school and college exposed him to the Populist Movement, causing him to enroll at the University of Wisconsin–Madison to work with John Donald Hicks for his master's degree (1934) and doctorate (1938).   Historian Keith M. Heim believes that Mowry's Midwestern background and personality influenced his interest in reform movements. Heim says Mowry showed a "disdain for elites and social pretense" and an "impatience with bureaucracies". In 1937 Mowry married La Verne Raasch a fellow graduate student majoring in English.

Professional roles

Teacher
Mowry taught thousands of undergraduates and mentored over fifty doctoral students in his career.  He allowed graduate students to "make their own decisions and use my own intervention as little as possible in making those decisions.". He worked vigorously with his students when they were selecting their dissertation topics to urge them to select something "significant" but also allowed students to select topics that could succeed without intrusive supervision. His own mentor, John D. Hicks, had played a similar role for Mowry and encouraged him to not write on a second rate figure but rather to find a "big subject." When Mowry suggested the Progressive Movement, Hicks said, "Fine, go ahead. That's big enough!"

Mowry's first teaching position was as an instructor then an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1938 to 1942. During World War II, he worked as a policy analyst for the Army Quartermaster Corps and then for the War Production Board from 1942 to 1944. Mills College in California invited Mowry to become their May Treat Morrison Professor of American History. He taught there from fall 1944 to 1947 and published Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressive Movement (1946) and did most of the research for his next book, The California Progressives (1951).

He left California for a professorship at the University of Iowa but in 1950 he returned to California this time as a full professor of history at the University of California at Los Angeles. He served as professor, department chair, (1955-1967) and also Dean of the Division of Social Sciences (1959-1967). He wrote The Era of Theodore Roosevelt (1958) and The Urban Nation (1965) and co-authored three additional books while at UCLA. He was invited as a visiting professor to the University of Strasbourg (1950-1951), University of Rennes (1951), Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1953-1954), University of Marseilles, Nice, (1958), University of California at Berkeley, Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University) and Columbia University. He lectured in Italy, Japan, and India, and served as the Harold Vyvyan Harmsworth Visiting Professor of American History at Oxford University in 1960–1961.  He returned to Chapel Hill in 1967 as the William Rand Kenan Professor of History. He wrote Another Look at the Twentieth-Century South (1973).

Author
Mowry published five books, co-authored six others and edited three books.  He published 10 book chapters, over 50 encyclopedia articles and wrote over 100 book reviews in magazines and professional journals such as American Historical Review, Journal of American History, American Political Science Review, Mississippi Valley Historical Review, Journal of Southern History, New York Times, and Saturday Review of Literature. Three of his books were awarded the Silver Literary Medal by the Commonwealth Club of California in 1946, 1956, 1959.  His several university textbooks (especially those coauthored with Hicks) went through numerous editions.

Debate on Progressive leadership
According to historian Michael H. Ebner, "Mowry-Hofstadter-Chandler (Richard Hofstadter, Alfred D. Chandler Jr.) amounted to an inseparable intellectual trio for those studying the Progressive Era in American History."  These three pioneers shaped the debate by emphasizing the middle class nature of Progressivism in the early 20th century and declared that it was a cohesive movement. Their findings were partially challenged by Gabriel Kolko, Samuel Hays, Robert Wiebe, James Weinstein, and J. Joseph Huthmacher who all questioned the middle-class background of these reformers. Meanwhile, Peter Filene opened the debate on whether progressivism was indeed a cohesive movement. Others have focused on individuals or on individual reforms to add depth to the pioneering work started by Hofstadter and Mowry. Mowry encouraged historians to enrich and expand his profile of Progressive reforms especially quantitative historians who could compile and analyze data on the common citizen. That there was a viable Progressive profile is commonly accepted.

Mowry was the first historian to use President Theodore Roosevelt's papers after 1909 and published a revised form of his dissertation entitled Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressive Movement which highlighted the critical role populism played as the "real seedbed" of progressivism. His next work, The California Progressives, (1963) what Mowry considered his most "ablest work" was a group study of literate, middle class progressives.  Mowry continued his interest in urban history and in 1967 published The Urban Nation 1920-1960 which was later updated and expanded with Blaine A. Brownell (1981)

Professional Leadership Roles
Mowry was elected at President of the Organization of American Historians (1965–66), and for years was the chairman of its executive committee. He also served as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission's Historical Advisory Committee from 1967 to 1969. He was a member of the editorial board of the Mississippi Valley Historical Review (1949–52) and a fellow of the Society of American Historians. Historian Thomas D. Clark characterized Mowry as a man of "absolute integrity" and added "keen intellect, broad academic interests, insight, and balanced judgment - all essential to the historian and teacher."

The Maoergai Dam is a rock-filled embankment dam on the Heishui River in Mao County of Sichuan Province, China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power production and it supports a 420 MW power station. Preliminary construction (roads, bridges and foundation) for the dam began in 2006 while construction on the dam and power station commenced in 2008. The generators were commissioned in 2011. To produce power, water from the reservoir is diverted to a power station downstream through a  long headrace tunnel and penstock. The difference in elevation between the reservoir and power station affords a hydraulic head (water drop) of . The dam sits just below the headwaters of the Heishui and water discharged through its power station regulates the flow of water for smaller power stations downstream.

title: Nil Desperandum GAA

text:
Nil Desperandum F.C. was a sporting club in Cork, Ireland. When it was founded it was mainly a rugby club. In 1888, after "some years" of playing rugby "Nils", as they were known, played their first Gaelic football game.

Within a few years Nils was one of the strongest Gaelic Athletic Association clubs in Cork. It had a headquarters on Marlboro' Street and was largely represented by West Cork men who had come to the city to work.

After winning the Cork Senior Football Championship in 1894, Nils went on to represent Cork in the controversial All-Ireland Senior Football Championship of 1894.

By the late 1920s the club was almost defunct and at the 1929 AGM the chairman "exhorted every member present both individually and collectively to strive earnestly for the welfare of the club whose motto was 'Nil Desperandum' and bring all possible honors to the club and to the county this year. He stressed the fact that Gaelic Football was in a deplorable state in the city at the present time, and teams of long connection with the GAA like Nils and Lees, found it almost impossible to put a single senior team on the field when a couple of years back they could put senior, intermediate and junior teams. There was certainly work for an organiser here to organise Gaelic football in Cork City and help to bring it back to the high position in the GAA which it held some years back."

title: Let's Get It (Cash Out album)

text:
Let's Get It is the debut studio album by American hip hop recording artist Cash Out. It was released on August 26, 2014, by Bases Loaded Records and eOne Music. The album features guest appearances from Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, French Montana, Shanell, Rich Homie Quan and Waka Flocka Flame. It was supported by three singles, "She Twerkin", "Mexico" and "She Wanna Ride".

Singles
 The album's lead single, "She Twerkin" was released on February 25, 2014. The song peaked at number 98 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it his second overall Hot 100 entry.
 The album's second single, "Mexico" was released on April 22, 2014.
 The album's third single, "She Wanna Ride" featuring Shanell, was released on August 5, 2014.

Critical reception

The album was met with positive reviews, David Jeffries of AllMusic said Let's Get It takes the lightheaded and lighthearted club hit "She Twerkin" and blows it up to an album, as "Stunt on Ya Haters" and "She Wanna Ride" come packaged in the same mix of stoned and slick. "Mexico" introduces the rapper's ridiculous Latino accent imitation, which pops up like a weird Speedy Gonzales character throughout the LP, while the well-chosen guest list of French Montana, Waka Flocka Flame, and Rich Homie Quan are all simpatico with the hardcore yet hedonistic world of Ca$h Out.

title: Patel Para

text:
Patel Para is one of the neighbourhoods of Jamshed Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

Before the independence of Pakistan in 1947, there was a substantial population of Patel Hindus, Parsis and Ismailis who lived in the area now known as Patel Para. “Whenever any Hindu died and had unclaimed property, the Patels would automatically become the custodians of that property. At that time, Patels in that area were in a majority, and thus this area became Patel Para. After the independence of Pakistan, nearly all Hindus migrated to India in 1947.

There are several ethnic groups including Muhajirs, Punjabis, Sindhis, Kashmiris, Seraikis, Pakhtuns, Balochis, Memons, Bohras, Ismailis and Christians.

title: Jong Islamieten Bond

text:
Jong Islamieten Bond (JIB) or Islamic youth association was a youth organization during Dutch East Indies ruling established in Batavia on January 1, 1925.  The organization was established by Indonesian young students with the first goal to provide courses on Islam to Muslim students to engage the sense of brotherhood amongst the educated Muslim youth from different regions of the archipelago who were previously members of local associations, such as Jong Java (March 7, 1915), Jong Sumatra (December 9, 1917), and others.

JIB was not a political organization. The first elected chairman at the first JIB Congress in 1925 in Yogyakarta, Samsurijal, when giving the speech said, "In the courses, lectures and debates which we hold, we try as far as possible to enhance the understanding of religion and politics especially from the point of Islam to members, but JIB will not join any political activities". The composition of the first Executive Committee of the newly created JIB were: Raden Samsurijal (chairman); Wibowo Purbohadidjojo (vice chairman); Syahbuddin Latif (Secretary I); Hoesin (secretary II), Soetijono (treasurer I); and So'eb (treasurer II). The Commissioners were Moegni, Thoib, Soewardi, Shamsuddin, Soetan Palindih, Kasman Singodimedjo, Mohammad Koesban, Soegeng, and Haji Hashim. The Executive Committee of the new JIB has four branches: Batavia, Yogyakarta, Solo and Madiun. The position of the Central Executive Board (DPP) was located in Batavia.

During the JIB membership campaign, Syahbuddin Latif was sent to Yogyakarta and Madiun, Mohammad Koesban to Solo, Kasman Singodimedjo to Purworedjo and Kutorejo while Samsurijal and the advisor to JIB, Haji Agus Salim to Bandung to establish a JIB branch. As of December 1925 JIB had 7 branches with 1,004 members. At the JIB Congress II in Solo  in 1926, Wiwoho was elected as chairman replacing Samsurijal. At the JIB Congress in 1929 in Batavia, Kasman Singodimedjo was elected as the chairman replacing Wiwoho, and also moved the position of the DPP to Jakarta. At the JIB Congress in 1935 in Jakarta, M. Arif Aini was elected as the chairman and the position of the DPP moved to Semarang.

To disseminate their ideas and thoughts, JIB published a magazine named an Nur (Het Licht) in Dutch which was the first Islamic scholarly magazine in Indonesia, published since March 1925. The magazine survived until the dissolution of the JIB itself. JIB also formed Indonesian Scout Organizations (National Indonesische Padvinderij, abbreviated Natipij), the first scout organization that uses the name of Indonesia, a term which was not commonly used at the time. In each branch, JIB held Islamic religious courses. In October 1931 JIB built a  HIS (Hollandsch Inlandsche School) school, an elementary school for higher class indigenous children in Tegal and in November 1931 another HIS school was built in Batavia.

During Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, all organizations were put in freeze, including JIB.  In 1947, the original frozen JIB transformed into a new organization called PII (Pelajar Islam Indonesia or Islamic students of Indonesia).

The American Red Cross Volunteer Life Saving Corps, also known as the Life-Saving Service of the American Red Cross, is a lifeguard body of the American Red Cross that began in 1914 as a response to the growing number of drowning deaths in the United States.

History

Recognizing an epidemic of water-related death, in 1912 Wilbert Longfellow presented a plan to the American Red Cross for improved water safety. The Red Cross adopted the nation-wide plan in January 1914, and established the Red Cross Life Saving Corps. The corps is the forerunner of the present-day Red Cross water safety program. Longfellow organized the lifesaving program.

The Jacksonville Beach volunteer corps is the last of its kind in the country. The American Red Cross Volunteer Life Saving Corps Station is listed in the National Register of Historic Places Program.

The 1948 United States Senate election in Montana took place on November 2, 1948. Incumbent United States Senator James E. Murray, who was first elected to the Senate in a special election in 1934 and was re-elected in 1936 and 1942, ran for re-election. After winning the Democratic primary, he faced Tom J. Davis, an attorney and the Republican nominee, in the general election. Following a narrow re-election in 1936, Murray significantly expanded his margin of victory and comfortably won re-election over Davis, resulting in him winning his fourth term and his third full term in the Senate.

title: Valamon Viiniherman

text:
Valamon Viiniherman Oy ("Valamo Wine Herman") is a company, whose main owner is the Valamo Monastery in Finland. It was founded in 1997, and its main field of operations, according to the Finnish Trade Register, is the distilling and mixing of alcoholic beverages and production of ethanol through fermentation.

The company was founded by the Valamo Monastery and a winery called Hermannin viinitila ("Hermann's Wine Estate") from Ilomantsi. The latter is the oldest wine estate in Finland, having been founded in 1989.

In 2013 Valamo owned half of Valamon Viiniherman. The company produces wines, liqueurs and in the future, also whisky.

The company is said to be the creation of Father Andreas of the monastery. It made €60 000 in profits in 2012.

In 2014 it was announced that the company will begin to produce whisky. The monastery plans to make whisky the foundation of their economy. The initial investment amounts to ca. one million euros. The company believes the operation will be a profitable one, even though they will not be able to sell their whisky until 2018. The distillery needed in the project forms a company of its own, and the majority of the shares is owned by the monastery. The person responsible for the production of alcoholic beverages in the monastery is Timo Kettunen.

title: 2015 IndyCar Series

text:
The 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series was the 20th season of the IndyCar Series and the 104th season of American open wheel racing. Its premier event was the 99th Indianapolis 500, which was held on May 24. Will Power returned as the reigning champion, while Ryan Hunter-Reay was the defending Indy 500 champion. Chevrolet entered the season as the reigning Manufacturers' champion. Indianapolis 500 and the season finale counted for double points.

The season was overshadowed by the death of driver Justin Wilson at Pocono, after being struck on the head by debris from Sage Karam's car. That left the door for his brother, Stefan Wilson, to compete in future Indy 500s from 2016 onward.

A week after Wilson's fatal accident, the finale was held at Sonoma Raceway, where Scott Dixon secured his fourth career title after a low-key season that saw him win on a tiebreak against Juan Pablo Montoya following his third win of the season after many consistent finishes leading up to the finale. Montoya won the Indianapolis 500 earlier in the season. It was a very competitive season with no standout performers and many different race winners and pacesetters. Except Dixon's three race wins, he finished on the podium only once, but due to their consistent finishing Dixon and Montoya had a significant margin to reigning champion Will Power in third.

Confirmed entries

The following teams, entries, and drivers have been announced to compete in the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series season. All teams will use a spec Dallara DW12 chassis with manufacturer aero kits and Firestone tires.

Notes
 Bryan Clauson drove an entry fielded by Jonathan Byrd's Racing at the Indy 500 in 2015 and 2016. KV Racing Technology was confirmed to support the entry.
 Ed Carpenter Racing and Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing merged to form CFH Racing, and use Chevrolet engines and aerokits in 2015.
 Andretti Autosport re-signed Ryan Hunter-Reay and sponsor DHL to a multi year contract.
 Josef Newgarden announced that he would drive the CFH Racing #67 entry full-time in 2015 with an option for an extension of the contract for a second year.
 Simon Pagenaud departed Schmidt Peterson Motorsports after three years and joined Team Penske in the No. 22 car.
 Team Penske president Tim Cindric confirmed on Twitter that defending series champion Will Power would be running the #1 car, as opposed to his usual #12.
 Ryan Briscoe did not return to Chip Ganassi Racing in 2015, and actively pursued another ride.
 James Hinchcliffe announced that he left Andretti Autosport to replace Pagenaud in the #5 Schmidt Peterson Racing car. He was joined in the team by James Jakes – replacing Mikhail Aleshin – who returned to the series after missing the 2014 season.

Schedule changes and notes
The Itaipava Brasília Indy 300 was scheduled to be held on March 8 at the Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet in Brasília, Brazil. On January 29, the race was cancelled by the Federal District officials newly elected in the 2014 national elections, where the incumbent Governor from the Workers' Party had been defeated, and replaced by the candidate from the Brazilian Socialist Party. As tires and fuel had already been shipped for the race, the series sent representatives to the Autódromo de Goiânia to check the viability of the venue to host the race.
NOLA Motorsports Park was announced to have a race over the weekend of April 10–12, 2015.
Texas Motor Speedway was confirmed to return to the June 4–6 weekend and that the race would be on NBCSN.
Auto Club Speedway was confirmed to be scheduled for June 27, moved from their usual date at the end of the season.
IndyCar & Mi-Jack Promotions announced on August 29, 2014, that the Houston doubleheader at NRG Park has been canceled for 2015 due to scheduling issues.
The races at Barber Motorsports Park (April 26), Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (August 2) and Sonoma Raceway (August 30) were confirmed by the release of the Pirelli World Challenge schedule; PWC supports those events on the IndyCar calendar as well as St. Petersburg, Long Beach & Detroit.
 The Toronto Sun reported that the Honda Indy Toronto would stay at Exhibition Place and would be run on the weekend of June 12–14, 2015, to avoid a clash with the 2015 Pan American Games, due to be held the following month in the city. Unlike the last two seasons, the race weekend only featured one race instead of two, making Detroit the only double-header weekend of the season.
 The ABC Supply Wisconsin 250 at the Milwaukee Mile was confirmed to be held on July 12, 2015, by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
 The ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway was moved from the July 4 weekend date the track had in 2013 and 2014 to the weekend of August 23 for the 2015 season.

Rule changes
Aerokit modifications became specific to Honda and Chevy.
Double points were awarded for the Indianapolis 500 race and for the season finale at Sonoma only. Previously double points were awarded at the three 500 mile oval events.
Each team would continue to have two weeks of testing. Unlike past seasons, Promoter Days/Open Tests would count towards the testing allocation.
The medical exemption was eliminated from pit selections.  Pit selections are no longer based on drivers but teams' performance in the last race.  This change eliminates a disadvantage by one IndyCar team that used a "two-platoon" system, with driver based on the circuit.
Qualifying groups for qualifying at road/street course events was determined by the final practice session held before qualifying instead of by the first session of the weekend.
Standing starts have been eliminated for 2015. The series says more development is needed before re-introducing them to the series, especially after numerous aborted standing starts and a crash at Houston during the 2013 season, and a start-line pile-up at the Indianapolis road course race in 2014.
Each phase of the Indianapolis 500 Rookie Orientation Program saw see the speed requirements increased by 5 mph. Phase One consists of 10 laps at 205–210 mph, Phase Two of 15 laps at 210–215 mph and Phase Three of 15 laps at 215+ mph. The laps do not have to be consecutive. The phases and corresponding speeds may be adjusted based on track/weather conditions. The refresher program consisted of Phases Two and Three.

Race summaries

Round 1: St. Petersburg
The season opener at St. Petersburg was also the debut of unique aero kits for Honda and Chevrolet. Apprehension amongst the teams going into the race revolved around the complex, elaborate, and seemingly fragile front wings, and the lack of adequate replacement parts. The concerns were not unfounded, as dozens of on-track contacts throughout the field damaged countless wing components.

Will Power won the pole position, leading a Team Penske sweep of the first four positions on the grid. Power took the lead at the start, and led 75 laps. During the final round of pit stops, Juan Pablo Montoya grabbed the lead after he managed a quicker pit stop than Power. In the closing laps, Power chased down Montoya, and narrowed the gap to less than a second with 11 laps to go. Power tried to pass Montoya for the lead in turn 10, but the two cars touched, damaging Power's front wing. Montoya held the lead, and went on to win, his first road course victory in IndyCar racing since 1999.

Round 2: New Orleans
IndyCar made its first visit to NOLA Motorsports Park for the second round of the series. Lightning during qualifying in the middle of Round 1B cancelled the entire session, with the grid determined by entrant points, placing Juan Pablo Montoya on pole courtesy of having won the opening race in St. Petersburg. He was joined on the front row by Penske teammate Will Power.

The weather had eased on race day though not completely cleared, seeing the race begin in wet conditions. Montoya led the race early as conditions improved prompting a number of drivers to gamble on a switch to dry tires. Tony Kanaan and Ryan Hunter-Reay both stopped after 11 laps, a decision which proved too early as Kanaan spun off soon after. Conditions rapidly improved though and two laps later the leaders pitted for dry tires which promoted James Hinchcliffe into the lead, courtesy of an earlier stop. From there on the race was dictated by a series of caution periods as the drivers continued to struggle in the mixed conditions, the final caution period coming as Hunter-Reay, Sébastien Bourdais and Simon Pagenaud crashed together.

The series had announced a 1-hour and 45 minute time limit in the event of a wet race. Due to this time limit being reached in addition to the cautions, the race ended under yellow following the 3-car crash involving Hunter-Reay, Bourdais, and Pagenaud. Hinchcliffe won the race.

Round 3: Long Beach
Hélio Castroneves won the pole position with a track record of 1:06.7442, beating Sébastien Bourdais's mark set in Champ Car in 2006. Castroneves's Penske teammate Juan Pablo Montoya started alongside on the front row. At the start, Castroneves got the jump, and led into turn one.

During the first sequence of green flag pit stops on lap 29, Castoneves was briefly held in his pit box to avoid collision with Tony Kanaan, who was entering the stall just ahead. The delay cost Castroneves valuable track position, and allowed Scott Dixon to take over the lead. During the second round of pit stops on lap 55, Dixon was narrowly able to hold the lead, and cruised to victory, his first career win at Long Beach. With Dixon comfortably out in front, and Castroneves in second, the closing laps focused on a furious four-car battle for third place, led by Juan Pablo Montoya and Simon Pagenaud. Fifth place went to Tony Kanaan.

Round 4: Birmingham
With a second consecutive pole position, Hélio Castroneves took the front row with a time of 1:07.1925 alongside teammate Will Power, while a third-place effort by Simon Pagenaud made it another Penske 1-2-3 qualifying lock-out. Josef Newgarden took his first career victory, the fourth different winner in the four races thus far in the season.

Castroneves led early in the race, but lost the lead on lap 19 after another pit stop problem. The right-front tire changer lost a wheel nut, and that allowed Josef Newgarden to come to the lead. In the second half, Newgarden led, Scott Dixon was second, and Castroneves was third, but Graham Rahal was on a different pit strategy. As the leaders were attempting to save fuel and make it to the finish, Rahal pit on lap 70. With a full load of fuel, and new red option tires, Rahal went on a spirited charge to catch the leaders. He shaved 18 seconds off of Newgarden's lead, and passed Scott Dixon for second on the final lap. Newgarden held off the charge and won his first ever IndyCar race by just 2.2 seconds.

Castroneves ran out of fuel on the final lap, forcing him to pit, and he dropped to 15th. Will Power recovered from a collision exiting the pits (and subsequent drive-through penalty) on lap 24 to come home fourth. With Castroneves dropping to 15th at the finish, teammate Juan Pablo Montoya maintained the championship lead.

Round 5: Grand Prix of Indianapolis
Will Power won the pole position for the second annual Grand Prix of Indianapolis, continuing a dominating trend in 2015 for Penske Racing during qualifying. Penske cars qualified 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, with Ganassi's Scott Dixon (2nd) situated on the outside of the front row.

At the start, a multi-car tangle in turn one saw Scott Dixon spin out in front of the entire field. Hélio Castroneves (in his milestone 300th Indy car start) was involved in contact, as was Josef Newgarden, and others. Will Power took the lead and dominated the race, leading 65 of 82 laps. Power became the fifth different winner in as many races for 2015.

Round 6: Indianapolis 500
2008 winner Scott Dixon started from pole position for the 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. In a Three way shootout over the 14 remaining laps with Will Power and Scott Dixon, Juan Pablo Montoya was crowned with his second Indianapolis 500 title.

Round 7: Detroit (Sat.)
A southwesterly cold front drenching the circuit for Saturday's race 1 of the Belle Isle Detroit Grand Prix, it was Will Power on pole position. In a wet race on the composite circuit, Carlos Munoz took his first IndyCar win, lapping through 9th place in the process. Runner-up was Marco Andretti; Simon Pagenaud finished 3rd.

Round 8: Detroit (Sun.)
The remnant of yesterday's cold front lingered in a fog over a soaking wet Belle Isle circuit for Sunday's race 2 of the Detroit Grand Prix. Qualification scrubbed, the grid formed up on the basis of driver points, Juan Pablo Montoya on pole position, with Will Power alongside, row 1. The first 37 laps were run caution free. Yet, 50% of the last 31 laps run under caution, seldom were there ever more than three consecutive green flag laps run, over the remaining portion of the race. The driver hasn't gotten his strategy correct, Sébastien Bourdais led to the stripe with 6 laps to go, gapped the field, and earned his first win of the 2015 season, Takuma Sato finished 2nd, Graham Rahal - 3rd.

Round 9: Texas
Under a clear sky, high heat, and 63% humidity, 23 cars took to the D-shaped 1.5 mile Texas Motor Speedway circuit with Will Power on pole position. Ganassi drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan finished first and second respectively, 7.8 seconds apart, with second-place Kanaan about 10 seconds ahead of third-place Hélio Castroneves.

Round 10: Toronto
With light rain as the field approached for the green flag, starter's orders called for a mandatory single-file rolling start. Will Power earned pole position; Josef Newgarden won the race, holding off his CFH Racing teammate Luca Filippi by 1.4 seconds, ahead of third-place Castroneves, fourth-place Power and Sébastien Bourdais in fifth.

Round 11: Fontana
Simon Pagenaud won pole position, followed by Hélio Castroneves, Marco Andretti, Ed Carpenter, Juan Montoya and Tony Kanaan. The lead would subsequently alternate 80 times throughout the 500-mile race, an IndyCar Series record. On lap 241, Sato collided into Will Power, taking them both out of the race. This would set up a late sprint to the finish when the green flag waved on lap 247. On the penultimate lap of the race, the final incident of the day occurred when Sage Karam and Juan Pablo Montoya pinched Ryan Hunter-Reay into Ryan Briscoe, the latter of whom was sent airborne at a speed of . This allowed Rahal to complete the final two laps to the checkered flag under caution, for his first win of the year.

Round 12: Milwaukee
Josef Newgarden picked up his first career pole in the Verizon Indycar Series. The first caution didn't came until 114 when James Jakes lost an engine in turn 1. The second caution didn't fly until 131 when Ryan Briscoe spun and hit his country mate Will Power in turn 4. The 3rd and final caution came in lap 222 when Justin Wilson lost an engine in turn 1. Sébastien Bourdais eventually lapped the entire field. He managed to hold off Hélio Castroneves and Graham Rahal to pick up his 2nd win of the year. Sébastien Bourdais got his first oval win since 2006 and the 34th of his career, tying Al Unser Jr.

Round 13: Iowa
Hélio Castroneves picked up his 3rd pole at Iowa. The start was waved off when Hélio Castroneves jumped his country mate and friend Tony Kanaan. The first caution waved on lap 10 when Championship leader Juan Pablo Montoya crashed in turn 2. The second caution came on lap 25 when Charlie Kimball and Stefano Coletti got together in turn 3. The third caution waved on lap 108 when Justin Wilson got up high in turn 2, eventually cutting a tire down. The fourth caution came out on lap 172 when Charlie Kimball crashed in turn 2. The fifth caution came on lap 195 when Stefano Coletti crashed in turn 2. The sixth and final caution waved on lap 262 when Takuma Sato hit the wall in turn 2. Ryan Hunter Reay held off Josef Newgarden and Sage Karam to pick up his first win of the season. Ed Carpenter got out of his car after the race and confronted the 20 year old rookie driver from Nazareth Pennsylvania Sage Karam.

Round 14: Mid-Ohio
Scott Dixon captured the pole at Mid Ohio, his 2nd pole of the season. he was followed by Will Power, Sébastien Bourdais, Hélio Castroneves, Josef Newgarden, and Charlie Kimball. Early on Josef Newgarden ran Will Power off track in turn 4, the first caution came out when Charlie Kimball spun in turn 6, after getting his tire cut down from Will Power. The first restart came on lap 7. The 2nd caution came out when Stefano Coletti spun Takuma Sato in turn 4, and there was debris in various locations around the track. The next restart came on lap 26. The 3rd caution came when Sage Karam spun between turns 4 & 5. The next restart came on lap 70. The final caution came when Rodolfo González spun Charlie Kimball in turn 4.

After the race Rahal got out of his car and went to confront Bourdais. Dixon won his third win at Sonoma Raceway, third of the year, and back to back wins at Sonoma Raceway like Will Power did in 2010 and 2011.
