title: List of Atlantic City casinos that never opened

text:
Numerous casinos have been planned for Atlantic City, New Jersey but never opened.

In November 1976, New Jersey voters approved a referendum that legalized casino gambling in Atlantic City, and when the Casino Control Act of New Jersey was signed by the governor on June 2, 1977, Atlantic City became the first place in the U.S., outside of Nevada, with legalized casino gambling. A rush of investors announced plans to build hotel-casinos. However, a lack of available financing, along with legal issues such as zoning, licensing, and environmental regulations, ended most of these plans. Most of them stopped in the planning stage; only a few, such as the Dunes and the Penthouse, entered construction. Many of the proposed projects were announced with major publicity efforts but died quietly.

American Land Company
In July 1978, American Land Company, headed by Steven Silverberg, announced plans to build a hotel-casino in the marina area, named The Marina Casino.  However, later that year, he faced charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission for misleading investors in the project.  He later sold an option on the land for the project to MGM Grand Hotels.

American Motor Inns and Great American Industries
In June 1979, a joint venture to construct a hotel-casino in the marina area was announced by American Motor Inns, Inc. and Great American Industries.

Atlantic Beach Resort & Casino
In 2006, AC Gateway LLC, headed by Wally Barr and Curtis Bashaw, purchased a number of properties near Albany Avenue and the Boardwalk in order to build a hotel-casino.  These properties included the former Dunes and Sahara projects, along with the former Atlantic City High School site.  A plan for a $1.5-billion mega-casino called the Atlantic Beach Resort & Casino was unveiled in 2008. The project was suspended in 2009 due to the economic downturn. The project was later revived in 2011 as the proposed Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Atlantic Land Limited
Atlantic Land Limited opened an office near New York Avenue in 1979, proposing to build a 31-story hotel-casino.  However, by the next year, the office was closed.

Atlantis
In May 1977, Edward Sims announced that his investor group would develop a hotel-casino, called the Atlantis, in the marina area.  (This was no relation to the Atlantis Hotel and Casino, which was renamed from the Playboy Hotel and Casino in 1984.)  In 1978, a portion of the land they owned was sold to Harrahs, contingent on getting it rezoned.  However, the rezoning was refused and the sale was cancelled.  In 1980 the investor group announced that the property was to be sold to American Motor Inns.

Benihana Hotel-Casino / Carnival (or Carousel) Club Hotel Casino
The Shelburne Hotel (Atlantic City) was leased to Japanese investors Rocky Aoki, owner of the Benihana restaurant chain, and Takashi Sasakawa, who planned to keep the existing hotel as well as add a 31-story tower and casino calling it the Benihana Hotel-Casino. In 1983 work crews began to renovate the hotel, however, disagreements between the Malmut family (owners of the hotel), the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, and outside investors led Akoi and Sasakawa to abandon the project after investing over $25 million in construction and renovations. Sasakawa was the son of noted Japanese fascist and philanthropist Ryoichi Sasakawa, who had links with the Yakuza. Aoki and Sasakawa had also faced charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission for insider trading in the stock of Hardwicke Companies, which had planned to manage the hotel/casino.

After the Benihana Hotel-Casino project stopped, the Shelburne Hotel (Atlantic City) was acquired in 1984 by Blumenfeld Development Corp. and the hotel was demolished.  The company applied for a casino license on July 23, 1985.  In 1986 a groundbreaking was held for the intended construction of the Carousel Club Hotel Casino.  (It was originally called the Carnival Club Hotel Casino, but the name was changed after Carnival Cruise Lines sued them.)   However, the company did not obtain sufficient financing and after foreclosure the property was sold to Bally's Manufacturing Corp., which built Bally's Wild Wild West Casino in 1997.

Caesars Palace Atlantic City
In June 1977, Caesars World Inc. leased the site where the Traymore Hotel had once stood.  (The hotel was imploded in 1972.)  They planned to build Caesars Palace Atlantic City on the site.  However, when the opportunity came about in June 1978 to lease the Howard Johnson's Regency Motor Hotel and use the existing facilities to more quickly build a hotel-casino complex, the Traymore site project was put on hold.  The Boardwalk Regency opened in June 1979.  The company applied for a license on January 8, 1980, for the Caesars Palace Atlantic City project but never built anything on the site.  The land was later sold to Pinnacle Atlantic City for a proposed hotel-casino.  However, that project also fell through.

Camelot Hotel/Casino
See entry for Camelot Hotel/Casino.

Captain Starn's Restaurant
Captain Starn's Restaurant was a popular restaurant located at Maine Avenue, Caspian Avenue and the Boardwalk, by the Absecon Inlet.  The owners were approached twice by potential investors to buy the land for a hotel-casino, the first time by Meister Associates and the second time by Edward Wong. Caesars later took an option on the site and tried to swap it with the United States government for the site of the United States Coast Guard station in the marina area, but were turned down.

Casino by the Sea / Royale Vista
In June 1978, Levin Computer Corporation, along with Hotel Associates, announced plans to develop a hotel-casino in the marina area named Casino by the Sea.  Levin Computer had briefly owned the Bonanza Casino in Las Vegas.  Levin later offered a leasehold interest in the property to Cavanaugh Communities Corp.

In 1979, Cavanaugh Communities Corporation, a Florida land sales company, planned to develop a hotel-casino in the marina area called the Royale Vista.  However, the land was sold to Resorts Casino Hotel in 1983, after a Cavanaugh subsidiary filed bankruptcy.

Chalfonte Hotel – Holiday Inns
Holiday Inns purchased the Chalfonte Hotel from Resorts Casino Hotel in 1979, intending to demolish the hotel and develop a new hotel-casino.  However, in 1981, they announced that the development was postponed and eventually the project was cancelled.

Colonial Commercial Corp. / King International Corp.
Colonial Commercial Corp. was a company that made cement and blue jeans.  In 1979, King International Corp., which operated a hotel-casino in Aruba, acquired an option to purchase some land from Trans-Expo Inc.  Colonial Commercial then acquired the option from King International, with which  it planned to merge, and later exercised the option.  Colonial filed bankruptcy in 1982 and gave the land back to Trans-Expo, which held the mortgage.

Context Industries and Terminal Industries
In June 1979, Context Industries, Inc. announced that it had entered into a memorandum of understanding with Terminal Industries, Inc. to develop a hotel-casino.

Dunes Hotel and Casino (Atlantic City)
See entry for Dunes Hotel and Casino (Atlantic City).

First Artists Production Company
In October 1977, First Artists Production Company confirmed reports that they were negotiating for potential hotel-casino properties in Atlantic City.  The company was partly owned by entertainers Paul Newman, Barbra Streisand, Steve McQueen, Sidney Poitier and Dustin Hoffman. The property mentioned was the Holiday Inn, which was sold a few months later to Penthouse for its Penthouse Boardwalk Hotel and Casino project.

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (Atlantic City)
Hard Rock International announced plans in 2010 to build a $300-million casino in partnership with Och-Ziff Real Estate on the Boardwalk at Albany Avenue, at the site previously proposed for the Atlantic Beach Resort & Casino. It was proposed under the state's recently enacted "boutique casino" law, which allowed up to two casinos to be opened with a minimum of 200 hotel rooms, instead of the usual 500 rooms. The first phase of construction would have included 208 hotel rooms and  of gaming space; a second phase would follow with an additional 642 rooms and  of gaming space. Other features would have included a beachfront Hard Rock Cafe, other upscale restaurants, bars, a rock-and-roll museum, a spa, and beach cabanas.

Construction was planned to begin by July 2012, with an opening date in 2014, but the schedule was pushed back because of delays in the permitting process. Hard Rock dropped the project in September 2012 because market conditions in Atlantic City, including poor results at the newly opened Revel casino, made it very difficult to secure financing. The company would later return to the city in 2017 with its purchase of the shuttered Trump Taj Mahal and planned renovation of the property as a Hard Rock casino.

Hard Rock Casino Atlantic City opened June 28, 2018.

Kissane-Leddy
In 1977, William Kissane and John Leddy, announced that they were seeking to lease land in the marina area to develop a hotel-casino.  In 1980, they had their land surveying licenses suspended.

Le Jardin
After the original Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino opened in 1980, the Mirage Resorts explored sites for another hotel-casino. In 1982, they looked at acquiring a site on Great Island from Vornado, Inc., but the site required rezoning.  In the mid-1990s, the company proposed to build the Le Jardin hotel-casino in the marina area if the state of New Jersey built a road that connected to the hotel-casino.  The company had also agreed to allow Circus Circus Enterprises and Boyd Gaming to build casinos on the site, but later reneged on the agreement.  While the road, called the Atlantic City-Brigantine Connector, was eventually built, Le Jardin was cancelled after the company was acquired in 2000 by MGM Grand Inc., which later built the Borgata, in a joint venture with Boyd Gaming, on the site.

Loews Corp.
Loews Corporation is a large conglomerate with interests in hotels, movie theaters, insurance, and cigarettes.  In 1977, they conducted a feasibility study to determine whether they should re-enter the Atlantic City market and develop a hotel-casino. The company had formerly owned the Traymore Hotel and the Ambassador Hotel, but sold them before gambling was legalized in the city.

Lucky Lady (or Lady Luck) Casino
Jean Savage, a Nutley NJ realtor and the president of HEJJ Inc. approached the 72 owners of properties bordered between Texas Ave., Bellevue Ave., Pacific Ave. and the Boardwalk.  She offered them $100,000 each to sell their properties, contingent on all of them agreeing to sell.  She reportedly represented some unnamed company that planned to build a hotel-casino.  The effort failed.

Metropole Hotel-Casino
Metropole Associates, Inc, of New York, in November 1978 announced plans to build a hotel-casino at the site of the Morton Hotel on Virginia Avenue.

MGM Grand Atlantic City
MGM planned to enter the Atlantic City market in the late 1970s.  However, a catastrophic fire, which killed 85 people, in 1980 at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (now Bally's Las Vegas) in Las Vegas, Nevada postponed those plans.  The fire resulted in substantial litigation.  In 1996, the company began buying parcels of land  adjacent to the Showboat Atlantic City for a planned hotel-casino.  The effort was delayed for several years due to a few land owners refusing to sell.  After MGM acquired Mirage Resorts in 2000, the company switched its focus to developing the Borgata in the marina area and abandoned plans for the Boardwalk site.  The land was then sold to North Beach Holdings, which in turn sold the land to a group that built the Revel.  For plans by MGM to build a hotel-casino in the marina area in 2007 see the entry for MGM Grand Atlantic City.

Nortek, Inc.
In 1978, Nortek, Inc, a textile and tombstone company, indicated it planned to invest in a casino. The following year, an investor lawsuit was filed against the company claiming it drove the stock price up by using false claims.

Pagano / Triple Five
In 2008, realtor Robert Pagano and a representative from shopping mall owner Triple Five Group sought to get land they owned in the marina district rezoned for hotel-casino and retail use. The land consisted of 17 acres adjacent to The Borgata owned by Pagano, and a 13-acre site across the street owned by Marina Towers Association.

Penn National Gaming
In 2008, Penn National Gaming had two proposals for new hotel-casinos.  They offered to buy the recently closed Bader Field airport for $900 million. They planned to build one hotel-casino and sell up to three other parcels to other developers.  Later that year, they planned to rezone a parcel of land on Route 30 at the city's gateway for development of a hotel-casino.  Neither venture went through.

Penthouse Boardwalk Hotel and Casino

Pinnacle Atlantic City
See entry for Pinnacle Atlantic City.

Planet Hollywood
In 1996, Planet Hollywood International Inc., a theme restaurant chain, and ITT Corporation, which had recently acquired Caesars World, announced a joint venture to develop a hotel-casino.  However, nothing became of it.  After Planet Hollywood acquired the Aladdin Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, they announced plans in 2005 to open a hotel-casino in Atlantic City.  However, the casino was never built, and after having financial problems, the company lost ownership of the hotel-casino in Las Vegas in 2010.

Prime Motor Inns
Prime Motor Inns had announced in January 1980 that it had approval from lenders for financing for a hotel-casino.  However, the company was denied permits from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. They later tried to do a joint venture with the Dunes Hotel and Casino (Atlantic City) project, but that fell through.

Regency Hotel
In August 1977, Jerrold Polinsky, a cable television owner from Minnesota, announced an agreement to lease the Howard Johnson's Regency Motor Hotel and build a casino.  His partners included former New York Jets owner Sonny Werblin,  attorney Adrian Foley and local art dealer Reese Palley.  Werblin and Foley were the chairman and Treasurer, respectively, of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority.  Palley had been appointed as Chairman of the New Jersey State Lottery Commission. Werblin and Foley soon dropped out of the partnership after the media and politicians noted the conflicts of interest.  Polinsky sought additional investors, but could not meet the lease terms and the agreement was terminated in May 1978. Rocky Aoki had come in at the last minute to try to save the project, but the court rejected his claim. (Aoki would later try to develop the Benihana Hotel-Casino.) The property was subsequently leased to Caesars World in June 1978 and they developed the Boardwalk Regency . Polinsky went on to other ventures in the gambling industry, but was convicted in the mid-1990s of bribery, tax evasion, and securities fraud.

Ritz-Carlton
In 1978, an investor group purchased the Ritz-Carlton Atlantic City intending to convert it to a hotel and casino.  However, unfavorable publicity linking it to the Abscam investigation ended that plan.  Senator Harrison A. Williams (D-N.J.) told an undercover FBI agent that he could help save the investors $30 million by allowing them to renovate the existing property, rather than building a new one.  Williams' wife was a paid consultant and shareholder in Hardwicke Companies, the majority investor in the project, and Williams expected to receive a $1 million finder's fee for helping arrange financing for the project.  Williams was later convicted on other charges relating to the Abscam scandal.

Route 1 Corporation / Hotel Associates
Al Olshan, a developer from Little Ferry, New Jersey purchased some land in the marina district through a partnership, Hotel Associates, intending to develop a hotel-casino.  In 1982, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Olsham and his company, Route 1 Corp., with securities violations involving Hotel Associates.

Royale Atlantic Hotel / Atlantic Plaza Hotel Casino
Robert Maheu, a former aide to Howard Hughes, and Grady Sanders announced plans for a hotel-casino in August 1978, called the Royale Atlantic Hotel.  However, they were unable to get funding for the project and turned it over to other developers.

Howard Weingrow, Robert Lifton and Midland Resources took over the Royale Atlantic hotel-casino project in 1979, and renamed it the Atlantic Plaza Hotel Casino.  They applied for a casino license on September 4, 1979.  However, they were unable to get funding for the project, and Donald Trump took it over and developed the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.

Sahara Boardwalk Hotel and Casino
See entry for Sahara Boardwalk Hotel and Casino.

Sardi's Broadway Casino Hotel
In 1986, two theatrical producers, who had recently bought Sardi's restaurant in New York, announced plans to develop a hotel-casino in the marina district called Sardi's Broadway Casino Hotel.  The project was a venture with the successor company that had tried to develop the Camelot Hotel/Casino.  The producers lost ownership of Sardi's restaurant in a 1990 bankruptcy case.

SS United States
In July 1977, a group headed by Harry Katz announced that they were trying to purchase the ocean liner SS United States and dock it at a pier in Atlantic City.  The ship would have a casino and the cabins would function as a hotel.

Steel Pier
In August 1977, Alvin Snyder, a Maryland real estate developer, planned to use the famous Steel Pier to house a hotel-casino called Casino at Sea.  He bought the pier, contingent on getting the necessary government approvals for the construction and use.  However, the approvals could not be obtained.  In July 1978, the pier was purchased by the Resorts Casino Hotel for non-casino use.

Trans-Expo Casino
Kupper Associates, a Piscataway, New Jersey engineering firm announced plans in February 1978  to build a hotel-casino at Arkansas Ave. near the terminus of the Atlantic City Expressway.  The land was later sold to Colonial Commercial Corp., which defaulted on the mortgage and the land was reacquired by Tran-Expo.

Trump Yacht Casino
In 1996, Donald Trump proposed building a 430-foot yacht, docking it next to the Trump's Castle resort in the marina district, and opening a casino on the boat.  At the time, it would have been the largest yacht in the world, costing $75 million and having 35,000 square feet of casino space on three levels.  The yacht was never built.

Trump World's Fair successor
The Trump World's Fair (formerly the Trump Regency, which was formerly the Atlantis Hotel and Casino, which was formerly the Playboy Hotel and Casino) was torn down in 2000. Donald Trump then proposed building a 62-story hotel-casino on the site.  However, after his company entered bankruptcy in 2005, the property was auctioned off to BET Investments, owned by real estate developer Bruce E. Toll.  A deed restriction, preventing the property being used as a casino, was lifted in 2011 in exchange for $5.5 million, but no plans were announced for a hotel-casino.

Two-O-Two Corp.
Two New Jersey developers, John Griek and Martin Cummins announced plans in April 1977 to develop a hotel-casino on a tract of land on U.S. Route 30 and the Absecon bridge.  They were seeking to have the land rezoned from industrial to commercial use.

Vornado, Inc.
Vornado, Inc., the owner of the Two Guys discount store chain, announced in November 1978 that they planned to open two hotel-casinos on Great Island, about a mile west of the Boardwalk.  In 1982, Golden Nugget announced plans to purchase the site if it could be rezoned for a hotel-casino.  However, the site was in the flight path of the Bader Field airport and failed to get the required Federal Aviation Administration approval for the structure.

The Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (referred to in short as the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA)) is a 2009 international treaty of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) designed to prevent and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.

Content
The treaty requires that fishing vessels request permission to dock at a port and inform the port of the details of its fishing operations. Permission to dock can be denied if unregulated fishing occurred. The measure is intended to block illegally caught fish from entering the marketplace. Other measures in the treaty include inspections of equipment, paperwork, catches, and ship's records. Though the treaty does not compel countries to apply these measures to ships under their own flags, they may choose to do so under the agreement.

Creation and entry into force
The treaty was concluded on 22 November 2009 at the 36th Session of the FAO Conference held in Rome. Ninety-one states negotiated and agreed to the treaty text. Twenty-three states signed the treaty while it was open for signature in 2009 and 2010.

The treaty entered into force on 5 June 2016, which was 30 days after it was ratified by a 25th state. As of September 2018, the treaty has 55 parties, which includes 54 states plus the European Union:

Five signatory states have not ratified the treaty: Angola, Benin, Brazil, Samoa, and Sierra Leone.

title: Como Mujer

text:
"Como Mujer" (English: "As A Woman") is a song by Puerto Rican recording artist Ivy Queen, from her debut studio album, En Mi Imperio (1997). It was composed by Queen, produced by DJ Nelson, and released as the album's lead single in 1997. The single was followed by "Pongan Atención". Both "Como Mujer" and "Pongan Atencion" have been certified Gold and Platinum in sales.

Background
When she was eighteen, Queen moved from Añasco, Puerto Rico to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she met rapper and producer DJ Negro. In 1995, she joined an all-male Puerto Rican group called The Noise, at the invitation of DJ Negro. The group became part of the emerging reggaeton scene. DJ Negro began producing a series of CDs centered on The Noise. Queen made her first appearance on the fifth installment of the CD series on a track called "Somos Raperos Pero No Delincuentes".

She became tired of the violent and sexual themes often used in reggaeton, and wished to write about a wider variety of subjects. DJ Negro convinced Queen to go solo, and in 1996 she began recording material for her debut studio album.

Musical composition

"Como Mujer", (""), the album's lead single, was composed in minor key tonality and takes influences from Afro-Latin sources. Musically, the song features synthetic instrumentation and Puerto Rican roots while lyrically, the song features social or political themes.

Reception
The song, along with "Pongan Atencion" has been certified Gold and Platinum in sales, according to the Lakeland Ledger. As of February 2004, the album has sold over 80,000 copies in the United States, and over 100,000 copies in Puerto Rico. It, along with the two singles, however, have not been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America. In 2004, Queen revealed that she did not receive any profits from the album's sales due to her inexperience in the music business.

title: Perkeep

text:
Perkeep (previously Camlistore, Content-Addressable Multi-Layer Indexed Storage) is a set of open-source formats, protocols, and software for modeling, storing, searching, sharing, and synchronizing data.

Storage
Perkeep's content-addressable storage is based on GPG-signed claims. These claims provide modeling, storing, searching, sharing, and synchronization of data. Perkeep can be thought of as Git for general personal information storage: a user's Perkeep is the main repository. Perkeep is graph-based rather than a working tree in data model terminology. Perkeep can store files like a traditional file system, but it specializes in storing objects such as pictures and videos.

Development
The Perkeep project is under active development led by Brad Fitzpatrick, a former Google employee (originally as a 20% Project), and co-maintainer Mathieu Lonjaret. The project has two goals: expand the standard library of the Go programming language, and implementing Perkeep open source formats, protocols, and software for modeling, storing, searching, sharing of a long-term, personal datastore system.

title: Kipps Run

text:
Kipps Run (also known as Kipp's Run) is a tributary of the Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately  long and flows through Rush Township and the borough of Riverside. Wilson Run is a tributary of the stream. Kipps Run has an annual sediment load of , most of which comes from cropland. The stream's watershed has an area of 6.38 square miles, nearly all of which is agricultural or forested land. The stream has a riparian buffer.

Course

Kipps Run begins in northern Rush Township. The stream's headwaters are on Blue Hill. The stream begins flowing southwest and then northwest in a valley, but after a short distance curves north, following the road. It then exits Rush Township and enters the community of Riverside, where it turns west-northwest, away from the road. The stream also leaves its valley at this point. It receives the tributary Wilson Run from the left and then passes through a series of small ponds. Further downstream, it turns northwest, crossing another road and then crossing the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. Immediately afterwards, the stream enters the Susquehanna River.

Kipps Run joins the Susquehanna River  upstream of its mouth.

Tributaries
The only named tributary of Kipps Run is Wilson Run. Wilson Run is on the western side of the main stem. It joins Kipps Run  upstream of its mouth and its watershed has an area of 3.27 square miles.

Hydrology
The annual load of sediment in Kipps Run is . The largest contributor is cropland, which contributes  to the stream. Stream banks contribute  of sediment per year and  of it comes from hay and pastures. Forested land contributes  per year,  comes from land designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection as "low-intensity development", and  comes from land designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection as "transitional".

Geography, geology, and climate

80 percent of the rock in the watershed of Kipps Run is interbedded sedimentary rock and 20 percent is sandstone. 80 percent of the soils in the watershed of the stream belong to the hydrologic soil group C. The remaining 20 percent belong to the hydrologic soil group B. The geology of the watershed does not influence the water quality of the stream in any significant way.

The topography of the land around Kipps Run varies by direction. To the east of the stream is a bowl-shaped topographical feature in which the community of Riverside is located. To the west of it and to the south of Sunbury Road, there is a steep rise climbing to more than  above sea level. To the west of the stream and to the north of Sunbury Road, the terrain is largely flat. The stream has an elevation of  above sea level near its mouth.

The comprehensive plan for Riverside describes the channel of Kipps run as "adequate".

The average annual amount of precipitation in the watershed of Kipps Run is  per year. The average annual amount of runoff is  per year.

Watershed
The watershed of Kipps Run has an area of 6.38 square miles. 48 percent of the watershed's area is agricultural land and 48 percent is forested land. There are 1099.6 acres of cropland and 617.8 acres of hay and pastures in the watershed. The remaining 4 percent has other uses, such as "low-intensity development", of which there are 175.4 acres in the watershed and "transitional" land, of which there are 7.4 acres in the watershed.

In the area that is to the west of Kipps Run and to the south of Sunbury Road, there is mostly forested land with some farms on the tops of the hills. North of Sunbury Road and west of the stream, there are large tracts of farmland.

Kipps Run is one of the main streams in Riverside, according to the comprehensive plan for the borough.

History and recreation
In 1790, William Gearhart settled near in Northumberland County and gained possession of a tract of land near Kipps Run. Alem Marr Sechler purchased a farm along Kipps Run in 1854. In the late 1800s, the Danville, Hazleton and Wilkes-Barre Railroad passed by Kipps Run.

During a flood in 1904, a gorge in the watershed of Kipps Run helped stop the flooding from affecting areas downstream of Subnbury for several days. The Kipp's Run Swim Club is located in a developed area south of Kipps Run and has been since at least 1962. In the late 1960s, the borough of Riverside had plans to build a pumping station in the vicinity of the stream.

In July 2012, Kipps Run was designated as the reference watershed for the TMDL of Deerlick Run.

Biology
Kipps Run has a sizable riparian buffer.

title: Pongan Atención

text:
"Pongan Atención" is a song by Puerto Rican recording artist Ivy Queen, from her debut studio album, En Mi Imperio (1997). It was composed by Queen, produced by DJ Nelson, and released as the album's second single in 1997. The single was preceded by "Como Mujer", the album's lead single. Both "Como Mujer" and "Pongan Atencion" have been certified Gold and Platinum in sales.

Background
When she was eighteen, Queen moved from Añasco, Puerto Rico to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she met rapper and producer DJ Negro. In 1995, she joined an all-male Puerto Rican group called The Noise, at the invitation of DJ Negro. The group became part of the emerging reggaeton scene. DJ Negro began producing a series of CDs centered on The Noise. Queen made her first appearance on the fifth installment of the CD series on a track called "Somos Raperos Pero No Delincuentes".

She became tired of the violent and sexual themes often used in reggaeton, and wished to write about a wider variety of subjects. DJ Negro convinced Queen to go solo, and in 1996 she began recording material for her debut studio album.

Musical composition
"Pongan Atencion", ("Pay Attention"), lyrically demands that Queen be heard on a local and national level. She sings, "Pongan atencion, pais, nacion, asociacion, que ya llego la queen", ("Pay attention, country, nation, association, the queen has arrived"). A music video for "Pongan Atención" was filmed in Spanish Harlem and was directed by Ozzie Forbes in 1997. It departs from Queen's usual appearances in music videos filmed within the island of Puerto Rico.

Reception
The song, along with "Como Mujer" has been certified Gold and Platinum in sales, according to the Lakeland Ledger. As of February 2004, the album has sold over 80,000 copies in the United States, and over 100,000 copies in Puerto Rico. It, along with the two singles, however, have not been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America. In 2004, Queen revealed that she did not receive any profits from the album's sales due to her inexperience in the music business.

title: Palazzo dello Spagnolo, Naples

text:
The Palazzo dello Spagnolo is a Rococo or late-Baroque-style palace in Rione Sanità in central Naples. It is best known for its elaborate staircase.

History

The Palace was erected during 1738, commissioned by the Marchese di Poppano, Nicola Moscati, and is attributed to the architect Ferdinando Sanfelice. Through an indistinct façade one enters to an interior octagonal courtyard leads to a double ramp stairwell. The interior was richly stuccoed by Aniello Prezioso, using designs by Francesco Attanasio in 1742. The top floor was added at the end of the 18th century. In the following century, the family sold apartments in the lower floors to Tommaso Atienza, nicknamed lo Spagnolo (the Spaniard), whence the name of the palace.

The staircases with arches in shifting planes still grants an aura of complex scenography, despite its present cramped and dilapidated state: a grandiose entrance leading only to a decrepit palace. The nearby Palazzo San Felice is attributed to the same architect and has similar staircases.

title: African Silences

text:
African Silences is a 1991 book by Peter Matthiessen published by Random House. It recounts journeys through Equatorial Africa to study the situation of elephants and other wildlife and is a meditation upon the natural world and mankind's relationship to it and effect upon it.

Content
The book recounts two sets of journeys: firstly, trips in the 1970s to Senegal, Gambia, and the Ivory Coast (with the primatologist Gilbert Boese) and secondly a 1986 trip to Gabon and Zaire. In different areas he explored different animals - for example, in Zaire, he was concerned primarily with the Congo peacock. Matthiessen observed that the situation in terms of animal populations and their sustainability was often far worse than anticipated - in certain cases "the animals are so scarce that they have no reality in daily life." The silence of the title refers to the silences caused by the absence of animals on the one hand and the growing absence of verdant forest away from the greater and greater proliferation of human urbanisation.

One element of slight optimism amongst the rather despairing reports of the 'silencing' of nature (which has an echo of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring) is the discussion of moves for an international ban on the ivory trade, which Matthiessen thought were influenced by the study conducted by him in collaboration with the ecologist David Western regarding the population of the forest elephant.

The book also has a political subtext, since Matthiessen also commented on the brutality of certain governments in the region, as well as discussing the environment and the natural world. Certain human groups are described in far more glowing terms, such as the Mbuti pygmies in the Ituri Forest.

title: Heinrich Eduard Linde-Walther

text:
Heinrich Eduard Linde-Walther, born Walther Heinrich Eduard Linde (16 August 1868, Lübeck - 23 May 1939, Travemünde) was a German painter and illustrator.

Life
He was the son of Hermann Linde the Elder, a pharmacist and pioneering photographer. His brothers were Max Linde, an ophthalmologist and art collector, and Hermann Linde, who was also a painter. He received his first drawing lessons from his grandfather, Christian Peter Wilhelm Stolle, a decorative artist.

He became a student in the Department of Photography at the "Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt" (Graphic Arts and Research Institute) in Vienna. From 1887 to 1889 he worked as a photographer and colorist (someone who adds color to black-and-white photographs) in Cairo. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, from 1891 to 1894, where he studied with Gabriel von Hackl and Paul Hoecker. From 1895 to 1898 he was at the Académie Julian in Paris, then travelled extensively, visiting Sweden, the Netherlands and Spain.

After 1900, he lived in Berlin and became a member of the Berlin Secession in 1902, continuing to travel and exhibit widely. He was mostly known for landscapes and still-lifes, but also did numerous portraits of children. Most of his works were commissioned by individual clients and remain in private ownership. In addition to paintings, he produced book illustrations and was especially noted for his work on the children's storybooks published by A. Molling & Comp.

title: Gunsmoke (season 4)

text:
Gunsmoke is an American Western television series developed by Charles Marquis Warren and based on the radio program of the same name. The series ran for 20 seasons, making it the longest-running Western in television history.

The first episode of season 4 aired in the United States on September 13, 1958, and the final episode aired on June 13, 1959.  All episodes were broadcast in the U.S. by CBS.

Season 4 of Gunsmoke was a half-hour program filmed in black-and-white, as one hour episodes were not introduced until season 7, and color episodes were not filmed until season 12.

Synopsis
Gunsmoke is set in and around Dodge City, Kansas, in the post-Civil War era and centers on United States Marshal Matt Dillon (James Arness) as he enforces law and order in the city. In its original format, the series also focuses on Dillon's friendship with three other citizens of Dodge City: Doctor Galen "Doc" Adams (Milburn Stone), the town's physician; Kitty Russell (Amanda Blake), saloon girl and later owner of the Long Branch Saloon; and Chester Goode (Dennis Weaver), Dillon's assistant.

Cast and characters

Main

 James Arness as Matt Dillon
 Dennis Weaver as Chester
 Milburn Stone as Doc
 Amanda Blake as Kitty

Production

Season 4 consisted of 39 half-hour black-and-white episodes produced by Norman Macdonnell.

Casting
Ken Curtis appears in this season prior to his casting as Festus Haggen.  He was cast in episode 21, "Jayhawkers" and episode 32, "Change of Heart".

Eddie Little Sky, who played the warrior in episode 39, "Cheyennes", was a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe. He was one of the first Native American actors to play Native American roles.  Kim Winona who played the daughter in the same episode, was an enrolled member of the Santee Sioux people.

Writing
As in previous seasons, scripts would occasionally use real-life characters in the storyline.  In episode 38, "Blue Horse", the character Blue Horse was an Oglala Lakota chief who had signed the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, along with his brothers Chief American Horse the Elder and Chief Red Cloud.

Production design
Sets were often reused across multiple episodes. The ranch used in episode 36, "Print Asper", was also used in several prior episodes.  The cabin with the wooden bridge across the ditch in the beginning scenes of episode 39, "Cheyennes", was also used in multiple episodes.

Producers were not always careful about consistency with the time period.  In the background of episode 24, "Doc Quits", there's a Pabst Blue Ribbon advertising sign on the wall behind Doc in the Long Branch when the new doctor approaches him. The sign may be out of place since the label wasn't created until 1893.  In episode 36, "Print Asper", when Will Asper is eavesdropping at the lawyer's window you can see an electrical outlet on the wall, next to the tree.

title: Maria Gurowska

text:
Maria Gurowska (née Zand; 1 October 1915 - 4 January 1998) was a Polish judge in the People's Republic of Poland.

Personal life
She was born in a Jewish family to Moryc and Frajda (Eisenman) Zand. Her father was an accountant and a trade agent; he died in 1941.

She graduated from the "Państwowe Gimnazjum Żeńskie im. E. Szczanieckiej" in Łódź and then from the Law Faculty of Warsaw University.

Career

In 1937, she worked as a lawyer in "Centralne Stowarzyszenie Kupców i Przemysłowców Województwa Łódzkiego". During the German occupation in the Second World War she hid under the name of Genowefa Maria Danielak. In 1940 she left Łodź with her parents. She lived in Żyrardów for one year and then moved to Warsaw, working as tutor, trader and glove maker.

From 1943 on, she was a member of Gwardia Ludowa and communist Polish Workers' Party, which was under direct control of Joseph Stalin. She was assigned to the signal corp of The People's Army (another partisan, communist groups) at the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising and afterwards in Staff of The People's Army. When the Warsaw Uprising fell she left Warsaw along with her mother for Częstochowa.

In January 1945 she was nominated as head of the Department of Information and Propaganda in Częstochowa. She moved again to Łódź in March 1945 to taking the position of propaganda instructor in the Executive Committee of Polish Workers' Party.

As of 1946 she begin to rise in the Department of Justice, becoming prosecutor, judge in Łódź and Warsaw and finally judge to the IV Criminal Department of Regional Court on 4 January 1951.

From 1950-1954 she was a member of the secret section inside Regional Court in Warsaw, responsible for judging in political trials on requests from the Ministry of Public Security of Poland, unleashing terror against the political opposition. Gurowska was a judge in the trial against general August Emil Fieldorf, whom she sentenced to death.

On the wave of De-Stalinization she was released in 1956 from the Department of Justice, and finally in 1970 from the position of judge.

The Institute of National Remembrance took the case against Maria Gurowska on 5 May 1992 accusing her of court-sanctioned murder of General Fieldorf. Gurowska defended herself, stating the verdict against Fieldorf was legitimate. The trial against Gurowska began on 22 December 1997, but the accused did not appear in court. She refused to appear until her death in 1998.

Feature film
In 2009 a historical drama entitled Generał Nil based on Fieldorf's life premiered in Poland to generally positive reviews. It was directed by Ryszard Bugajski with Katarzyna Herman in the role of Gurowska.

title: Statue of John Bunyan, Bedford

text:
A bronze statue of John Bunyan stands on St Peter's Green, Bedford, England. The statue was sculpted by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm, it was erected in 1874, and unveiled on 10 June of that year.  The statue was commissioned by the Ninth Duke of Bedford (who also commissioned the bronze reliefs on the doors of the Bunyan Meeting Free Church) and presented by him to Bedford town.

Location
The statue stands at the south-western corner of St Peter's Green, facing down Bedford's High Street.  The site was selected by Boehm for its significance as a crossroads, and faces symbolically the site of his imprisonment.  A ring of bollards connected by chains protect the base of the statue.  A controlled crossing has resulted in the erection of a set of traffic lights extremely close to the statue.

Subject

John Bunyan (1628-1688) was an English Christian writer and religious dissident, who was born, and lived in Bedfordshire  and was twice imprisoned in Bedford County Gaol.

Artist

Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm, Baronet (1834–1890) was a medallist and sculptor, born in Vienna to Hungarian parents.  While several of Boehm's colossal statues are considered important, notably the statue of Queen Victoria he is certainly famous for the Bunyan piece. Boehm was later commissioned to produce the sarcophagus for Arthur Stanley, who addressed the guests at the unveiling ceremony, and was husband of Augusta Stanley who unveiled the Bunyan statue.  He was responsible for the statue of the Duchess of Bedford in the park at Woburn Abbey.

Sponsor

Francis Charles Hastings Russell, Duke of Bedford (1819–1891) was an English nobleman, active in politics and agriculture, as well as the civic life of Bedford.

The Duke of Bedford had been active in civic life, and proposed the donation of the statue two years before the unveiling, when opening the Bedford Corn Exchange.

Two years later, in 1876, he donated the doors to the Bunyan Meeting House.  The doors contain ten bas-relief panels, illustrating, like the panels on the base of the Bedford statue, scenes from the Pilgrims Progress.   The design of the doors is based on the Gates of Paradise, by Ghiberti in the Battistero di San Giovanni in Florence.  The Bunyan doors were executed by Fredrick Thrupp (1812-1895), in copper on bronze.

Unveiling - the Bunyan Celebration of 1874

The unveiling was a major event, called the Bunyan Celebration (or the Bunyan Festival), attended by people from across the United Kingdom, from the then colonies and from America.  The day was treated as a holiday by all  the nearby villages and Bunyan's birthplace, Elstow.   Locally invitations went to all Sunday Schools, totalling 3,380 children who consumed a ton and a quarter of cake.

The statue was unveiled by Lady Augusta Stanley, wife of the then Dean of Westminster, Arthur Stanley, on Wednesday 10 June 1874, before a crowd of 10,000, presided over by the Mayor of Bedford (Alderman George Hurst).  (Brown remarks that Augusta Stanley, as a Bruce of Elgin, was a direct descendant of the "noblemen who persecuted Bunyan and his people.") Sermons were preached, the church bells rung and a fire-work display was given.

The Dean of Westminster said in his address, at the celebration:

The celebration was also addressed by Francis Cowper, 7th Earl Cowper, Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire, the member of Parliament (Samuel Whitbread), and Dr Brock and Dr Allon representing the Non-conformist movement.

In the evening a lecture on the life and works of Bunyan was given by Rev. C. M. Birrell of Liverpool, in the Bunyan Meeting House.

An exhibition of Bunyan relics, including Bunyan's will (now housed in the John Bunyan Museum) was on display in the hall of the Corn Exchange.  The Mayor entertained seventy guests at a banquet.

The event was covered by much of the press including Daily News of the following day, and the Illustrated London News of 20 June, and documented in The Book of the Bunyan Festival, edited by William Howie Wylie.

Even Punch covered the unveiling:

Bunyan the Pilgrim, dreamer, preacher,
Sinner and soldier, tinker and teacher,
For heresy scoffed, scourged, put in prison—
The day of Tolerance yet un-arisen—
Who heard from the dark of his dungeon lair
The roar and the tumult of Vanity Fair,
Ans shadowed Man's pilgimrage forth with passion,
Heroic, in God-guided poet fashion,
Has now his revenge; he looks down at you
In a ducally-commissioned Statue

was part of Mr Punch's opinion.

A certain amount of discussion in the press revived an old idea that Bunyan had plagiarized the Pilgrims Progress from a work by a medieval French monk, Guillaume de Guileville, The Pylgrymage of the Sowle.

On 2 October 1874 the Illustrated London News reported that "A handsome illuminated address" from the Corporation of Bedford had been  presented to the Duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey, by a delegation headed by the mayor, in acknowledgement of his gift of the statue.

Later history
In the twentieth century, according to Paddy Ashdown, red footprints were painted from the statue to a nearby ladies public convenience, and back to the plinth.

Description
Bunyan is depicted in a two and a half ton bronze cloaked figure, preaching from an open Bible, to an invisible congregation, with a broken fetter representing his imprisonment by his left foot.  The pose is reminiscent of one of the figures in the picture in the house of the Interpreter the Pilgrim's Progress, "...it had eyes uplift to Heaven, the best of Books in his hand, the law of Truth was written upon his lips...".

The figure, which incorporates a substantial base inscribed "John Bunyan" stands on a square plinth of Aberdeen granite.  There are three bronze relief scenes from The Pilgrim's Progress set in the plinth:  Christian at the wicket gate; his fight with Apollyon; and losing his burden at the foot of the cross of Jesus.

title: Bravery Star in Silver

text:
The Bravery Star in Silver, post-nominal letters BSS, was instituted by the President of the Republic of South Africa in April 1996. It was awarded to veteran cadres of the Azanian People's Liberation Army, the military wing of the Pan Africanist Congress, who had distinguished themselves during "the struggle" by performing acts of bravery.

Azanian People's Liberation Army
The Azanian People's Liberation Army (APLA) was the para-military wing of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC). It was established in 1961 to wage an armed "struggle" against the Nationalist government inside South Africa. On 27 April 1994 the Azanian People's Liberation Army was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Bravery Star in Silver, post-nominal letters BSS, was instituted by the President of South Africa in April 1996. It is the middle award of a set of three decorations for bravery, along with the Gold Star for Bravery and the Star for Conspicuous Leadership.

In all of her films, music plays an important role. Third film, Hopscotch had a deep impression of Polanski, his style of fear and little touch of Hitchcock. Not only that, she used only one actor to tell the full story. Fourth film, TikTok TikTok, had a great impression of Godard. In this film onwards she introduced her style of voice sound mix, which became her signature style.

She introduced, no sync dialogues to create the feeling of playing with sounds - As she was influenced by Chaplin, thus did a silent film which is erotic in nature. She is a great believer of breaking all rules and creating one's own. In her film, The Bird, she shot with stills and video, thus using the oldest art form to tell her story, in a single space.

text:
The Heroes, also known as The Shaolin Heroes, is a 1980 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Wu Ma and Pao Hsueh-li and starring Ti Lung, Shih Szu and Danny Lee.

Plot
During the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court views the righteous Shaolin Temple as an eyesore and sends a group of soldiers to destroy the temple, led by chief Ko Fei (Ti Lung), a former Shaolin disciple. After Shaolin was destroyed, all of its disciples were captured and detained. Although Ko made them work as hard labors, he was actually helping them increase their physical strength to refine their martial arts. On the surface, Ko seems to be working for the imperial court, but he was assisting his fellow disciples to recover Shaolin. However, his fellow disciples did not accept the token of his appreciation. Afterwards, the disciples fled and revolted before killing the Emperor (Michael Chan). At that time, Ko was also killed and his heroic deed was not known even after he died. Ko is considered a true hero who can tolerate the most insult and humiliation.

title: Radio y Televisión Querétaro

text:
Radio y Televisión Querétaro (RTQ) is the state radio and television network of the Mexican state of Querétaro, broadcasting on two radio stations and one television station in the state. It is operated by the Sistema Estatal de Comunicación Cultural y Educativa del Gobierno de Querétaro (SECCE), or "State System for Cultural and Educational Communication of the Government of Querétaro".

Radio
XEQUE-AM 1150 kHz came to air on February 5, 1988, a day after its formal inauguration by President Miguel de la Madrid. Radio Querétaro was initially considered among the best noncommercial radio stations in Mexico, earning favorable comparisons to Radio Educación. In June 2005, XEQUE was replaced with a new FM station, XHQUE-FM on 100.3 MHz with 15 kilowatts ERP.

In 2005, the state government applied for a new AM radio station to be located in Jalpan de Serra, and XEQJAL-AM 1200 kHz, a 5 kW daytimer, signed on after receiving its permit in early 2007. The permit failed to be renewed; on September 18, 2019, a substitute concession for XECPAC-AM 1200 was granted.

Television

In January 2012, Cofetel awarded the permit for a digital television station on channel 50 with callsign XHSECE-TDT to SECCE in January 2012, making XHSECE one of two new public television stations in Querétaro, alongside OPMA transmitter XHOPMQ-TDT (channel 30). XHSECE's transmitter is located in El Cimatario National Park along with those for other stations serving Querétaro. XHSECE was assigned virtual channel 10 in 2016.

In March 2018, in order to facilitate the repacking of TV services out of the 600 MHz band (channels 38-51), XHSECE was assigned channel 14 for continued digital operations.

title: Car Radio (song)

text:
"Car Radio" is a song written and recorded by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots originally appearing on their second studio album Regional at Best. It was re-released on March 18, 2014, as the sixth and final single from their third studio album, Vessel.

Background
The song was inspired by an event which had happened to frontman Tyler Joseph during college. In an interview with Rock Sound, he explained that one day he arrived to class late and forgot to lock his car's door. After class, he returned to discover that someone had broken into his car and stolen everything inside, including the radio, GPS and his CDs. At the time, Joseph didn't have the finances necessary to afford to replace what was lost. The subsequent experience of going on without his car radio made him realize "music can act as a distraction and can get in the way of where your mind wants to go."

Composition
According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, "Car Radio" is written in the time signature of common time, with a slow tempo of 65 beats per minute. "Car Radio" is composed in the key of A minor, while Tyler Joseph's vocal range spans one octave, from a low of C4 to a high of C5. The song has a basic sequence of F–G–Am–G during the verses and interludes and follows Fmaj7–G6–Am–G6 at the refrain as its chord progression. One of the band's more streamlined numbers, "Car Radio" starts off as a brooding alt-pop and rap rock anthem before exploding into existential rave-hop and electronic rock at its euphoric climax.
Its musical composition has a song structure that is "way out in left field" due to the fact it contains no chorus and no hook. The song's verses talk about a true story of Tyler Joseph being late to a class at college and losing his car radio.

Music video
The music video was uploaded to YouTube on April 19, 2013, and was directed by Mark C. Eshleman of Reel Bear Media. It was shot at a concert. Tyler Joseph sits in a bathroom singing the song, he then shaves off all of his hair, puts on a ski mask, and heads out to the stage where Josh Dun is seen playing drums. Joseph walks into the crowd which is standing still, and once Joseph jumps, the crowd jumps with him. Joseph surfs the crowd to the platform and performs the rest of the song on stage with Dun. As the song ends, Joseph is seen by himself on the stage and the crowd is gone. He takes off his mask, revealing his face once again (as well as his full head of hair, as if it were never shaven). Joseph then sings the final lyrics to the song, in which he falls backwards off the stage and the screen turns to black, ending the video.
