title: Danil Khalimov

text:
Danil Takhirovich Khalimov (; 6 July 1978 – 15 October 2020) was a Russian-Kazakhstani amateur  Greco-Roman wrestler of Tatar descent, who competed in the men's middleweight category.

Career
He won two silver medals each in the 74 kg division at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, and at the 2004 Asian Wrestling Championships in Almaty, and later scored a fifth-place finish at the Summer Olympics in Athens, representing Kazakhstan. Khalimov also trained full-time for Professional Sport Club Daulet in Almaty, under his personal coach Anvar Sagitov.

Khalimov was born in Nizhny Tagil, Russian SFSR. He qualified for his naturalized Kazakh squad in the men's 74 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Earlier in the process, he finished fourth from the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in Créteil, France, and then captured the silver medal at the Asian Championships to guarantee a spot on the Kazakh wrestling team. He ousted Georgian-born wrestler Yasha Manasherov of Israel in his opening match by a quick 8–0 margin, and then brushed aside Olympic veteran José Alberto Recuero of Spain with a tough 3–2 decision in the prelim pool to secure his place for the next round of the competition. Khalimov lost in overtime to Switzerland's Reto Bucher in the quarterfinal match at 0–3, but easily scored a triumph in a fifth-place playoff against two-time Olympic champion Filiberto Azcuy of Cuba, who withdrew from the tournament because of an injury.

Khalimov died from COVID-19 on 15 October 2020, at the age of 42 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia.

title: The Boat Race 1842

text:
The 6th Boat Race took place on the River Thames on 11 June 1842. The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.  In a race substantially interrupted by river traffic, Oxford beat Cambridge by a distance of  lengths.

Background
The Boat Race, first held in 1829, is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having defeated Oxford by 22 lengths in the previous year's race.  They led overall with four wins to Oxford's one.

Cambridge University Boat Club received the challenge to race from the Oxford University Boat Club secretary Fletcher Menzies in late 1841, in which it was proposed that a race between the universities should take place in late June or early July 1842.  Cambridge rejected the suggestion, maintaining that an Easter race would be preferable.  A challenge from their captain, John Ridley, was then sent to Leander Club, whose reply bemoaned the fact that they had insufficient numbers to provide an eight, suggesting a four instead.  This counteroffer was also rejected and Cambridge offered to row "any eight-oared crew from any club or clubs whatsoever."  After further, somewhat acrimonious discussion, it was agreed that Oxford would challenge Cambridge on 11 June 1842, with the caveat that the Light Blues would not row on the Thames before 8 June.

The race took place on a five-and-three-quarter-mile (9.2 km) stretch of the Thames between Westminster Bridge and Putney Bridge.  The umpire for the race was W. H. Harrison, Commodore of the Royal Thames Yacht Club.

Crews
The Oxford crew weighed an average of 11 st 9.375 lb (73.9 kg), about  per rower more than their Light Blue opposition. None of the Oxford crew had rowed in previous Boat Races while Cambridge saw five return from the previous year's event, including John M. Ridley and Francis Penrose who had rowed in the 1840 race.

Race

Cambridge won the toss and elected to start on the Middlesex side of the river, handing Oxford the Surrey side of the river.  Both boats started below the arches of Westminster Bridge.  Although Oxford made the better start, Cambridge pulled ahead and led until their course was diverted by river traffic including a steamer and a lighter, allowing the Dark Blues to retake the lead. Between the National Penitentiary and Wandsworth, according to MacMichael "they were not once free from the swell of the steamers" but continued to extend their lead.  Once clear of the steamers, Cambridge began to close the gap in the last mile to Putney, but Oxford passed under Putney Bridge with a lead of  lengths in a time of 30 minutes 1 second.  It was their first victory since the inaugural race in 1829, hence their first win on "London water".

title: The Long Secret

text:
The Long Secret is a children's novel written and illustrated by Louise Fitzhugh that was released by Harper & Row on October 27, 1965. It is a sequel or "companion" to Harriet the Spy (1964), the only one published during Fitzhugh's lifetime.

Sport, another sequel to Harriet written by Fitzhugh, was published by the Dell imprint Delacorte Press in 1979.

Plot summary
Harriet and her family are spending their summer in the beach town of Water Mill, Long Island). Her summertime friend, twelve-year-old Beth Ellen Hanson, sometimes called Mouse, is also in Water Mill with her grandmother. Mysterious anonymous notes start showing up all over town; they have a religious slant and expose the "sins" of the recipients. Harriet is determined to find out who is leaving them, and suspects anyone who reads the Bible.

Harriet drags Beth Ellen along on spying expeditions directed against Bunny, the piano-playing manager of the local hotel, and the Jenkinses, an eccentric southern family preoccupied with moneymaking schemes. Harriet's other friend Janie Gibbs and Mrs Agatha K. Plumber from Harriet the Spy also appear.

Beth Ellen learns that her rich mother, Zeeney, who left when she was five, is returning from Europe with her new husband, Wallace. Her grandmother expects Beth Ellen to be excited by the news, but she is indifferent. Zeeney turns out to be a beautiful but shallow socialite who is dissatisfied with her introverted daughter. Beth Ellen's dislike of her mother finally explodes in a temper tantrum which clears her head, leaving her happier and more confident.

Rhythm in Mind is an album by saxophonist Steve Coleman, recorded in 1991 and released by Novus Records.

Reception
The Toronto Star wrote that "the fluid emotional work of altoist Coleman headlines an octet gathering of post-bop conservatism, spacey odysseys and booting contributions from veterans Von Freeman on tenor and Tommy Flanagan on piano."

Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated: "The music is essentially a quirky version of straight-ahead jazz with generally strong solos from the diverse players, hints of Coleman's M-Base music, and some blues. Intriguing but not essential."

title: Polak model

text:
The Polak model is a monetary approach to the balance of payment published by J. J. Polak in 1957. It seeks to model a small, open economy operating under fixed nominal exchange rate. Polak suggest explicit links between the monetary and external sectors. Polak results continue to form the theoretical bases on which the IMF Financial Programming are carried out.

The Polak Model is based on the following four equations:

Where  is the demand for money,  is the velocity of money (here considered constant),  is the output,  is the imports,  is the marginal propensity to import,  is the money supply,  is the amount of foreign reserves,  is the Domestic Credit,  is exports, and  are other net foreign currency flows.

In the model the following variables are seen as exogenous:

Real Output , Exports , other foreign currency inflows
.

They have to be projected during the IMF Financial Programming exercise in order to set the desired levels for the target variables which are:

Level of International Reserves
Inflation, of change in price for the domestic sector  and,
Credit extended to the private sector .

The model also assumes that sooner or later the market will clear meaning that demand and supply of money will equal, or:

title: Radway Allen

text:
Kenneth Radway Allen (12 February 1911 – 16 February 2008) was a New Zealand fisheries biologist.

Academic career
After a MSc from Cambridge University Allen arrived in New Zealand and worked for what was to become the DSIR for many years on fisheries matters. In 1972 he moved to Cronulla, south of Sydney, New South Wales to become head of the CSIRO Division of Fisheries and Oceanography, where he worked until he retired. Allen was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1961. Since 1995, the Australian Society for Fish Biology has awarded the K. Radway Allen Award to researchers who have made "an outstanding contribution in fish or fisheries science."

The International Whaling Commission (IWC) and The Committee of Three
Allen worked on the International Whaling Commission's panel termed The Committee of Three that found new methods to calculate whaling quotas.  The group analyzed whaling data (catches, the number of whaling boats etc.) to come up with proposals for annual quotas for whales. The panel's report, in 1961, was the international whaling commission's first attempt to come up with quotas that would permit whaling while allowing the whale population to increase. The three scientists on the panel (Allen, Douglas G. Chapman and Sidney Holt) were selected because they specialized in fisheries research but were not officially connected with Norway, the Soviet Union, the Netherlands, Japan or Britain, the countries conducting the whaling they were to study. The quotas recommended were so much lower than usual that the whaling countries argued over them for many years but eventually they had to lower the quotas. However the whaling countries first adopted interim, compromise quotas which were higher than recommended.

title: Howie Stange

text:
Howard Erwin Stange (March 3, 1924 – December 4, 1990) was an American musician, singer and pianist who played Rockabilly and Country music, possessing a distinctive vocal and playing style.  Howie was a musical virtuoso who had the ability to pick up any instrument and play with a high degree of technical proficiency, despite the fact that he never learned how to read music.  Howie was born of four sisters and two brothers who include: Gertrude 'Kiki' Stange, Doris Stange, Frank Anthony Stange, Raymond Christopher Stange, Esther Madelyn Stange and Kathleen Leona Stange. Among the six siblings, only his youngest sister, Kathleen, lives to date, age 85. Howie achieved both national and international fame recognition, for his hit 45 record, "Real Gone Daddy/This Old Bomb of Mine", released in 1957.  Regarded as one of the most significant and influential Rockabilly musicians of his era, Howie's music currently resides on over 100 record compilations of the best rockabilly music ever produced. Howie's song "Real Gone Daddy" has achieved "Maybelline" status among fans.  Additionally, in 1958 he went on to record "Are You Lonesome To-Night?" which was subsequently picked up by Elvis Presley Are You Lonesome Tonight? (song) who later went on to chart this song at number 1 on the Billboard Charts in 1960.  Howie Stange did not achieve significant fame or fortune during his lifetime: however, his music left a lasting impression on a generation of young listeners who were first being introduced to rock and roll music in the 1950s.

Life and Career (Childhood 1924–1938)
Born in Meriden, Connecticut, Howie Stange grew up and lived his entire life in his home town. His family lived a hard-scrabble life; very little to eat, no indoor plumbing, and no money for medical care.  Howard suffered from severe asthma, and the family always lived in fear of an asthma attack, for they did not have the $3.00 it cost for a doctor to make a house call.  The family survived the Great Depression by hard work and frugality.  Howie's father, Thomas Anthony Stange, worked during the 1930s at the Works Progress Administration as a laborer.  Prior to this, Thomas spent much of his younger days working the Vaudeville circuit.  Thomas started in New York City as a theater foreman, and was able to land himself a stage role, ultimately working alongside Al Jolson's troupe playing the 'end-man' minstrel role.  Howie's father was multi-talented, being able to sing, tap, and play a variety of instruments. Thomas also performed "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" with spoken part, as part of his Vaudeville performance. Howie would later find his father's sheet music for "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" while cleaning out the attic and bring it to the next studio session in NYC and convince Jim Flaherty to record the song.  Thomas would move to Connecticut in 1916 where he continued to perform in Vaudeville at the Meriden Jacques Opera House and the Leows Poli Palace Theater. Thomas Anthony also appeared on the Major Bowes amateur Hour Edward Bowes  as a singer, performing his favorite tune 'I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen'.  Music was part of the fabric of the household, with a piano set up in the front room, and dad spending evenings and weekends singing and entertaining his family.  His musical talents certainly were passed down to his children, and at a very early age the boys; Frank, Howie, and Raymond, all began to play music.  At a very young age, Howie learned the rudiments of playing the guitar from a neighbor, Herbert LaMontagne. Howie attended school at St. Stanislaus School in Meriden for elementary and grammar school.  Born a left-hander, the school nuns felt that writing with the left hand was improper, so they would bind Howie's left hand so he couldn't use it, and forced him to write with his right hand.  Howie would spend the rest of his life writing with his right hand, and performing all other tasks with his left.  Howie's mother, Mary Stange, would work at New Departure , and remained a dutiful wife, mother, and homemaker her entire life.  Howie's father died in 1938 when Howie was at the young and impressionable age of 14. His father's death would have a profound impact on young Howie, and shape his life in many ways, from his personal relationships to his love of music.

Life and Career (Youth 1938–1948)
After Thomas died in 1938, Howie left school in pursuit of work after completing eighth grade in order to help support the family.  Brothers Frank and Raymond did the same.  Howie and his family moved into a fourth floor apartment on top of a grocery store in downtown Meriden. This spot became the neighborhood hangout, as each weekend, the Stange siblings and friends would play music at jam sessions. During these early years, Howie was already expressing exceptionally rare musical talent, and excelled at playing the piano.  During the summer of 1940, and free piano was offered to Howie, with the caveat 'if you can get it into the apartment, it's yours.'  The boys spent the better part of the afternoon with the window frame removed, hoisting this piano up to the fourth floor apartment on the corner of Cook Ave and Summer Street, above an Italian Restaurant.  This musical collaboration amongst the brothers would remain for a lifetime; Frank and Raymond would often join Howie up on stage as well as in the studio.  The Stange family musicians had an inauspicious start: Warren Sattler relates a story from 1939, where he competed at a local talent show hosted at a Meriden movie theater, resulted in pitting four-year-old Warren performing yodeling against the three teenage Stange boys performing country music.  The young yodeler won out over the Stange family band.  The local kids played the usual boyhood activities, such as playing football as part of the 'Acorn' gang, hanging out at Spencer's garage on Main Street, and attending events at the Meriden Boys Club. It was at the Boys Club that Howie took up boxing, a sport he would pursue in earnest after World War II.  The start of World War II disrupted Howie's life and propelled him, like many in his generation, to enlist when he turned eighteen.  He chose to sign up for the Coast Guard, the same service as his brother Frank.  Stationed for two years on Long Island, New York, Howie's time was spent with beach patrols, inspections, training, and drills.  It was during this period that Howie married his first love, Jane Webster, on July 15, 1943.  Howie and the other men of his unit would let off steam by participating in Coast Guard boxing matches.  Howie received a medical discharge from the Coast Guard on January 5, 1944 for chronic asthma. In 1944, Howie settled down with his new family, wife and soon to be two children.  During the day Howie worked at New Departure in the guard shack, but his passion at the time was with boxing.  Howie was a promising you bantamweight fighter with a strong left punch.  He earned the nickname of 'Lefty' during this time which stuck with him for the remainder of his life.  Howie was good friends and sparring partner to Joe Coffee.  In late 1947 Joe broke his left hand in 2 places in a fight, ending his career.  Howie took this as a sign that he too should find other pursuits, as Howie knew that an injury such as Joe suffered would end his musical aspirations.

Village Playboys (1949–1955)
It was during the late 1940s and early 1950s that Howie ventured forth and began his solo act playing at clubs and small venues.  His strong vocals and aggressive piano playing style really took the local community by surprise.  As his popularity grew, offers of playing in a band soon arrived.  Howie's break would come in 1952, when Andy Calabrese, Harold 'Slim' Huntley and Gus French, came looking for a vocalist.  The trio had heard of a singer and piano player named Howie Stange.  Slim and Gus went in search of Howie to see if they could interest him in joining the band.  The two went to visit Howie while he was living in a trailer behind the Greenwood Lodge.  Howie did not need much convincing, as he desperately wanted to get out and play his music for the public.  Shortly thereafter, Andy left to form his own very successful group, The Top Hatters, and Bob Guyette was recruited, and the Village Playboys were born.  Gus played on the big bass, Slim on the rhythm guitar, Bob on the lead guitar, and Howie on the piano, mandolin, rhythm guitar, banjo, fiddle, or vocals, or a combination thereof.  Over the next four years, the group would play constantly, mainly in Connecticut and Massachusetts, at any venue they could get booked in.  Clubs, diners, halls, auditoriums, restaurants, and family gatherings all became home away from home for the Playboys.  The band kept a grueling schedule, with Howie earning $12.00 a show and each of the bandmates $10.00.  They would play hour and a half sets, and then help move off all the tables and chairs for dancing the rest of the evening.  Over time Robert Kowalczyk, aka Bob 'Cat' Gibson (Bob would go on to play lead guitar for Bill Flagg), came in to replace Bob Guyette.

At this point in time, the type of music being played by the group was very traditional country ballads in the vein of George Jones, Hank Snow and Roy Acuff.  The talents Howie possessed were an extremely rare phenomena, especially considering he did not have any formal music training. Howie had perfect pitch, and he could pick up any music by hearing it only once.  Howie could play the piano, the Gibson flattop guitar, the fiddle, Gibson mandolin, the five string banjo, harmonica, and provide vocals.  Howie was technically proficient, and played his instruments with clean, crisp breaks and a fast play style.  He modeled his piano play after Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, and his tenor voice was a beautiful cross of George Jones and Elvis Presley. Howie's rendition of "Are You Lonesome To-Night?" is perhaps the finest example of Howie's vocal talents, and his play on the piano is unsurpassed on "This Old Bomb of Mine".  Playing at the Mountain View Lodge in 1956 to a packed house, the band performed "What Would You Do If Jesus Came to Your House" for the finale, and when done, the audience was completely silent, in awe of how strong the vocal performance was.  Howie then turned back towards the bass player, Gus French, and said, "that is the biggest tribute they [the audience] could ever pay you."  Upon hearing this, the audience burst into applause.  During this time, Howie struck up a friendship with the Sycz family in Newington, Connecticut.  The Sycz's had built a sound studio in their basement, and Howie spent time recording in the studio, often being accompanied by a then teenage Jean Syck (whose later married name was Jean Perron).  The Sycz family gave Howie a portable record cutting machine, which from now on accompanied Howie most places, and would serve as the vehicle that created the Howie Stange Music Catalogue.  This catalogue is being hosted online at www.realgonedaddyrecords.com.

Many of the venues where rough and tumble joints; for example, the Lake Besek Grill of Middlefield was also known as the 'Bucket of Blood.'  It was at one such event that Howie showed just how feisty he could be.  A bar patron stood up out of the audience while Howie was playing the piano and began shouting "you knocked out two of my brothers in the boxing ring, and now I'm going to kick your a**!"  And with that, the patron came up onto the stage and up and over the piano, and took a mighty swing at Howie, who, without skipping a musical note, raised his left hand off the ivories and gave him a stout left hook right to the head, knocking him off the stage and into the floor speakers, leaving him unconscious.  Howie continued right on playing.  Another such memorable night happened at the Long Lane Farm School for Girls in Middletown.  Being an all-girls school, and one with strict curfews, the students did not have much exposure to neither the opposite sex, nor the new type of music being played, rock and roll.  The band played to a packed house, and by the end of the evening it had turned into a riot of screaming girls running to and fro.  The Band barely escaped, fleeing in a Cadillac as dawn broke.   Howie also possessed a great sense of humor, in one instance, as the set was winding down, an obviously drunk bar patron pulled a gun out and confronted one of the band members.  Howie shouted from behind the piano "go ahead and take a swing at 'em, don't worry, he's too chicken to use it".  At this point, the patron swung the gun around and pointed it right at Gus French.  This distraction enabled others to jump in and subdue the man.  In 1955 there was more transition with band members, with Slim Huntley joining the Jim Flaherty's Western Caravan, and Richard N. 'Moon' Burgess Sr. joining up with Howie.  Others musicians joined: Pete Hazelwood, Leroy 'Shadow' Dontigney, and Maurice Corely.  This new group called themselves the Valley Playboys.  Rita Burgess recalled the good times: "it does bring back some good memory's Saturday night at the Shamrock Howie on the piano, Corley on lead guitar Moon on guitar and Shadow on drums.  One night there was a fight and they took Leroy Dontigney, "Shadow", drums and all, right out the door and he never stopped playing".  The "Shadow" would earn his moniker as one minute he would be there, and the next moment gone.  The advent of Moon and the other musicians allowed for a new style of music to emerge, with Moon playing his signature Martin guitar.  This new combination of talent brought an entirely different sound to the group. The group was also being influenced by popular culture of the times, with rock and roll splashing all over new radio stations and television stations.  A brand of music called Rockabilly was just starting to take off in popularity, and the group began to adopt these sounds.  This type of music was being performed by the likes of such artists as Chuck Berry, Bill Flagg, and Elvis Presley.

Jim Flaherty's Western Caravan (1956–1960)
As the Playboys' popularity grew, in 1956 the group was offered a Saturday morning radio show at WMMW 1470 AM.  Howie hosted the show and would invite the Village Playboys and other local musicians to come in and play.  This exposure at WMMW brought Howie to come into contact with Jim Flaherty.  In 1956, Howie was invited to join the Jim Flaherty's Western Caravan, and Howie brought with him Gus French.  This group, with manager and lead guitar player
Jim Flaherty, would be a significant step-up for Howie from his previous band.  Jim was a very popular DJ at WHAY in New Britain, Connecticut, a successful concert promoter, and manager of the popular Belmont Record Shop located on Washington Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Howie played with the Jim Flaherty's Western Caravan, providing lead vocals, and playing instruments as needed, with a particular emphasis on the banjo, piano, and fiddle.  The group would tour tirelessly throughout New England during these years and became quite popular.  This time in Howie's life was certainly the pinnacle of his commercial and musical career.  A dedicated self-promoter, Jim Flaherty secured multiple recording contracts with A&R man  Morty Craft in New York City from 1957 through 1960.  The band began at Bell Studios as a studio band for other larger acts managed by Morty at the time.  Morty was a hard-taskmaster, Gus French recalls "Morty would have us play for 12 hours plus, one day my fingers were bleeding we stayed at it for so long, we asked if we could take a break, Morty replied put some tape on 'em and keep playing.".  The working relationship however soon evolved into actual productions by the band on the Indie labels of MELL, JENN, & Frankie.  The band would go on to record at the Bell Sound Studios in New York City, with Morty Craft acting as producer.  These recordings, beginning with "Real Gone Daddy" began to get much radio airtime throughout New England and put Howie and the band on the map.  A total of 4 commercially produced 45's were released during this time.  There was even a Howie Stange Fan Club, according to past President Mary Jane Papallo, who fell in love with the music after seeing Howie open for the Everly Brothers.  On September 1, 1958 the band opened for the Wilburn Brothers and Johnny Cash at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut.

As was typical of the practices in the music industry in those days, a song produced by a lesser known band would start to gain air time on the radio, the A&R men would promote that song up to the bigger artists.  This was the case with the bands rendition of "Are You Lonesome To-Night?" with vocals by Howie Stange.  Howie's version of that song was passed along to Chet Atkins, RCA A&R man, by Jim Flaherty at a DJ Convention in Nashville in November 1959.  Chet was the A&R man for Elvis at the time and passed this song along to Elvis for recording.  Jim Flaherty had a close working relationship with Elvis's record labels, as letters, in the possession of Jim Flaherty's family, written by the labels in the 1950s attest to.  Elvis would go on to send this song to the number 1 spot on the Billboard charts in 1960.  Also, producers would 'doctor' the recordings to give them more of a 'commercial' appeal.  This can be seen by the Morty Craft produced "Baby I'm Sorry" and "You Never Had It So Good" with vocals by Howie Stange.  These two songs were  unlike anything produced by the band, and were entirely pop music productions, designed to draw in a larger audience.  Dubbed over the original takes were harmonies by the Ray Charles Singers.  Morty passed up Howie's particular version of "Baby I'm Sorry" to Ricky Nelson, who then charted the song into Billboar's top 10    Morty also 'sped up' the song of 'Real Gone Daddy' giving it a very up-tempo beat.  During 1959, the group's popularity really began to take off.  The band appeared twice in 1959 on "The Connecticut Bandstand".  The "Bandstand" was a daily TV show that was the forerunner of American Bandstand.  Aired by WNHC-TV Channel 8 out of New Haven,  it was hosted by Jim Gallant, and featured teenagers dancing while bands performed.  Jim Flaherty's Western Caravan performed twice in 1959 to promote their first two recordings, Real Gone Daddy/This Old Bomb Of Mine, and Are You Lonesome To-Night?/My Foolish Heart. During this time, Howie was invited to perform at the Hayloft Jamboree in Boston, Massachusetts as well as the Hayloft Jamboree in Wheeling, West Virginia.  He worked side-by-side with such notables as Harkshaw Hawkins, Web Pierce, and Lefty Frizzell.  The band also opened for distiniguished acts like Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton.  Ultimately, hard work and a hard life, coupled with a new wife and big family, finally took their toll, and in 1960, Howie left the band.  The Jim Flaherty's Western Caravan would continue to enjoy much success in the 1960s with two notable lead men, Maury Dubois, who recorded "Am I Losing You" which cracked the Billboard's top 10, and Lou 'Dee' Demaria.

Personal life
Howie married his first wife, as he was leaving the Coast Guard in 1943.  They had two children together.  Howie earned a living as a buffer and later an engraver with the International Silver Company in Meriden.  After that, Howie turned to sales, and worked for the Fuller Brush Company as a door-to-door salesman.  He also picked up where he left off with boxing, and became a local boxing champion, http://www.myrecordjournal.com/community/frontporchnews/4100803-129/local-boxing-champions.html fighting in the welterweight division from 1945 to 1948.  He was quite the dancer, and known for his fancy footwork in the ring.  He was a lefty, and consistently gave his opponents difficult fights.  Howie boxed under the name Howie 'Lefty' Stange, and continued to carry the nickname 'Lefty' for the rest of his life.  The fights were staged mainly at an outdoor arena on Colony Street, and later Howie would fight at the Meriden City Hall Auditorium and at the Meriden Armory. His marriage unraveled in 1954, as the relationship could not survive the temptations of the road.  Howie was known for hard living, and women and booze were easy to come by.  Howie married his second wife in 1954.  This marriage produced one child.  It was during this time that Howie and his family lost many of their personal belongings in a terrible apartment fire, Howie lost many of his musical instruments.  Slim Coxx hosted a benefit at an old dance hall in Farmington, Connecticut.  Howie had a terrific sense of humor and a story told by Gertrude French illustrates this.  in 1959, as a salesman for the Fuller Brush Company, Howie was out driving one day down a long, steep hill, and at the last moment as car turned out in front of him and a fender bender ensued.  Howie got out, and checked on the elderly driver of the second car, and the driver exclaimed "I thought I could make it!".  Howie would tell this story over and over again and just laugh out loud at what the old man had said.  Howie's second marriage did not survive either, and he and his wife divorced in 1959.  In 1960, Howie married his third wife, Marion Dickerman, whom he had three  children with: Howard Erwin Stange Jr., born November 26, 1961: Stephen Dickerman Stange, born July 24, 1964: and Raymond Enos Stange, born on September 1, 1965.  The obligations of three marriages and six children finally caught up to Howie, and in 1960, he left the Jim Flaherty's Western Caravan to focus on his family life.  He would turn his energies to becoming a car salesman.  Howie was quite successful at this, winning multiple awards and earning the title of 'New England Car Salesman of the Year' and a large celebration up in Boston.  Howie retired from his job in 1985. Howie continued to play music in his leisure time, but his music was limited to weekends at a local Meriden venues or in the summers out at Lake Beseck in Middletown, Connecticut, joining on-stage such performers like Slim Coxx.  Howie's third marriage would also end in divorce in 1970.  Howie married his fourth and final wife in 1970.  They would have one child together.  Howie also adopted the daughter of his fourth wife.  This marriage would be the one that lasted, and Howie remained married to her until his death in 1990.  Howie Stange left a positive, long-lasting impression on men and women across America.  Two men in particular owe much in their life to Howie: Dave Cook and Warren Cyr http://www.acousticguitarcommunity.com/profile/WarrenCyr.  Dave Cook played with Howie during the WMMW radio show throughout the 1950s and Howie provided the inspiration that led Dave to a life of music and playing in his own bands for over twenty five years, 'Big John & The Western Ramblers.'  Howie, Dave once said, "He was a hero, a wonderful man, and a man who inspired me for the remainder of my life."  And Warren Cyr, who said "Howie was a real country gentleman.  I never heard a cuss word from him.  Your dad and Dave Cook introduced me to Johnny Cash and inspired me to learn to play the guitar, teach guitar for many years, and as a result succeed in life.  I was influenced by Howie: may he be blessed."  Howie Stange was also quick to praise, as country music performer Warren Sattler relates an incident in his early career, when Howie ran into Warren at the Oyster Bay restaurant in Meriden, "Warren", said Howie, "what the he** are you still doing here.  I thought you would be in Nashville by now".

Later years and death (1960–1990)
After leaving the Jim Flaherty's Western Caravan, Howie worked in the 1960s with various artists under the Howie Stange & the Gang, later just Howie Stange, a one-man show.  Howie remained a very popular performer in central Connecticut.  He would say that "he would rather be a big fish in a small pond."  Fame eluded Howie, and certainly his life-style did not help.  Howie said once that "fame is just a matter of timing," This comment can be interpreted that he came so very close to reaching new heights in the music industry.  Howie spent his remaining years in pursuit of his other passions, in particular, fishing.  He also enjoyed playing the piano regularly out at restaurants and bars in Meriden, enjoying his family, as well as entertaining at home.  Howie Stange died on December 4, 1990 at the age 66 surrounded by his family.

Legacy
Howie's legacy endures as a Rockabilly music artist and as a performer. Howie Stange's music is more popular now than in his lifetime, played on oldies record stations throughout the country and in much of Europe.  Howie  performed music his entire life.  In local venues such as clubs, restaurants, bars, and pubs, he sang to local crowds that loved to hear him play. His song, "Real Gone Daddy" is perhaps the finest piece of Rockabilly music of all time, and has led to Howie's recent induction into the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame on March 1, 2014, http://www.rockabillyhall.org/.  An accomplished musician, Howie's talent exceeded many of those more famous than he: "He would bang those piano keys that would make Jerry Lee Lewis look sad," recounted Pete Hazelwood. Those who knew him best in the music industry would call him 'Godfather' or just 'Dad' in respect for his many years of music contribution in the state of Connecticut.  Recently, a treasure trove of studio out-takes and demo records have been discovered, and the Howie Stange Music Catalogue now exists.  The project of professionally restoring this music, some of which was in a very poor state, was overseen by Cristian Coban, Ph.D., CVC Productions, at http://www.lp2cd.com.  Coupled with the five commercially released singles of Howie, over 100 songs are now featured in the "Catalogue".
When Howie opened for Johnny Cash on May 30, 1964 at the Massachusetts Arena, Boston, Warren Cyr is quoted as saying that, "Howie stole the show."  Howie's legacy has been memorialized by those who knew him best, his country music fans.  Howie was inducted into the Connecticut County Music Association Hall of Fame, in December 2004.  In modern culture, the song "Real Gone Daddy" has been featured by NASCAR in a biography of Junior Johnson and also in Hot Rod magazine feature of a 1949 Cadillac.

title: Garçonne (magazine)

text:
Garçonne was a Weimar-era German magazine for lesbians. It was published from 1926 to 1930 under the title Frauenliebe (Woman Love) and from 1930 to 1932 as Garçonne.

Title
The magazine was named after Victor Margueritte's 1922 novel La Garçonne—whose title was translated for English readers as The Bachelor Girl—which was a critique of tomboys and flappers.

The word garçonne is derived from the French word for "boy" (garçon) with the addition of a feminine suffix; its closest English translation is "tomboy". After the publication of Margueritte's novel, the term came into popular use as a descriptor for flappers, women who wore masculine clothing, and lesbians. According to Marsha Meskimmon, the relaunch of Frauenliebe as Garçonne, "the more modish title", provided the magazine with a more marketable title that functioned as "a common currency as a lesbian type".

History

Frauenliebe
Frauenliebe was established in Berlin in 1926 and its first issue was published on 9 June 1926. It was advertised with the description "Weekly for friendship, love and sexual enlightenment". At the time, it was one of three lesbian periodicals published in Berlin, alongside Die Freundin and Selli Engler's Die BIF – Blätter Idealer Frauenfreundschaften. Its target audience included lesbians and heterosexual male transvestites. Frauenliebe and Garçonne, as the competing Freundin have been published, often edited and even partly written by men, as they were part of the male dominated homosexual movement of the 1920s and 1930s, who saw lesbian women as a possible supportive force in their fight. The only independent magazine, where only women were in charge, was the short-lived Die BIF. Writer Ruth Margarete Roellig started working as a journalist at Frauenliebe in 1927.

Frauenliebe was shut down for a time in 1928 by legal authorities, who were unable to name homosexual content as offensive under a law that prohibited , but deemed that the "literary portion of the issues is worthless" and the advertisements that "facilitate sexual relationships [have] to be seen as obscene in the sense of the law". In 1930, the magazine's editors changed the name from Frauenliebe to Garçonne to avoid legal troubles.

Garçonne
The first issue of the magazine printed under the new title of Garçonne was published on 15 October 1930. In addition to works of fiction and short stories, the magazine published lesbian-related news and opinion pieces from Germany and neighbouring countries; a 1931 article about the lack of lesbian organisations and publications in Switzerland led to the formation of the Swiss lesbian group Amicitia. Its issues contained ongoing debate about the nature of lesbianism and echoed the popular views of sexologists at the time that homosexuality was a form of natural biological variation. Although it was printed and distributed in Berlin, and focused mainly on Berlin's lesbian scene, it was accessible by subscription in regional areas of Germany where there was no local lesbian subculture. One reader from Görlitz submitted a letter to Garçonne in 1931 declaring that "this paper means everything to me", while another from Karlsruhe reported that "I cannot any longer do without this magazine".

Garçonne ceased publication in 1932.

title: Northeast Coast campaign (1712)

text:
The Northeast Coast campaign involved the Wabanaki Confederacy raiding British villages along the former border of Acadia in present-day Maine during Queen Anne's War in the spring and summer of 1712.

Historical context
After the Northeast Coast campaign (1703), in the spring of 1704, after the Raid on Deerfield in February, the Wabanaki again attacked Wells and York, Maine. They raided Saco, Maine again in 1704 and 1705. They raided Winter Harbor (in present-day Biddeford near Biddeford Pool), two more times in 1707 and 1710.

The raids on British villages was in retaliation to their capture of the capital of Acadia, Port Royal, which the British renamed Annapolis Royal.

Campaign
Natives made raids on Kittery, Wells, Berwick, York, Spruce Creek, Portsmouth. The campaign also reached into New Hampshire and Massachusetts with native raids on Exeter, Oyster River, and Dover.

title: Solar power in Switzerland

text:
Solar power in Switzerland has been growing rapidly in recent years due to declining system costs and a feed-in tariff instituted by the Swiss government. In 2013, cumulative capacity increased by 69% to 730 megawatts (MW) and contributed 544 GWh or 0.8% of the countries net-electricity production.

In 2014, another 320 megawatts were added bringing total installations to 1,076 MW and giving rise to Switzerland entering the group of currently twenty countries with a solar gigawatt market. As per the IEA-PVPS's calculations, the installed capacity by the end of 2014 should be enough to generate close to 2% of the domestic electricity demand—a significant increase compared to the 0.8% contributed by solar in 2013 (see charts below).

Historically, Switzerland had been a pioneer in solar photovoltaics in the 1980s and early 1990s but has since lost touch with the rapid-paced roll-out of solar by its world-leading southern and northern neighbors, Italy and Germany. However, the capped capacities that were put into place to avoid unregulated growth were raised in recent years as the surcharge on consumed electricity to pay for the feed-in tariff had been increased by the parliament. As the country is phasing-out nuclear power and the Swiss electricity sector is about to become completely liberalized, the electricity market is currently undergoing its largest change in history.

2019 Switzerland announced plans of large-scale solar auctions.

Domestic feed-in tariffs

The federal government adopted feed-in tariffs to offer a cost-based compensation to renewable energy producers. The feed-in remuneration at cost (KEV, , , ) is the primary instrument for promoting the deployment of power systems using renewable energy sources.

It covers the difference between the production and the market price, and guarantees producers of electricity from renewable sources  a price that corresponds to their production costs. The following renewable energy sources are supported by the KEV remuneration: distributed small hydro (with capacities up to 10 MW), solar photovoltaics, wind power, geothermal energy, biomass and biogas (from agriculture, waste and water treatment).

The KEV remuneration is financed by collecting a surcharge on the consumed kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity. As in other countries, industries with a large electricity consumption are exempt from the surcharge, which has gradually been increased and stands at 1.5 cents per kWh as of 2014.

The remuneration tariffs for renewables have been specified based on reference power plants for each individual technology. Feed-in tariffs are applicable for 20 to 25 years, depending on the technology. For solar PV, the time-span was reduced from 25 to 20 years in 2014. In view of the anticipated technological progress and the increasing degree of market maturity of renewables energy technologies (especially for solar PV), the feed-in tariffs are subjected to a gradual reduction twice a year. These reductions only apply to new production facilities that are put into operation.

Planned installations of renewable power facilities have to be registered with Swissgrid, the national network operator. As of the end of 2014, a growing waiting list for solar photovoltaic systems has accumulated as demand exceeds the capped capacities given by the currently available funds of the KEV remuneration.

During the summer of 1963, she was a counselor at the Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia where she lived with Paul Washington, the church's African-American rector, and his family. In her junior year, she was one of 13 white exchange students at the Spelman College in Spring 1964. There she attended a seminar on nonviolence conducted by Staughton Lynd and became involved with the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights. She volunteered as a Freedom School teacher in Holly Springs, Mississippi, for Freedom Summer.

Women's liberation movement
Allen was a key activist in the white women's liberation movement and she advocated for greater attention to be given to racism within the movement. She co-founded New York Radical Women in 1967. The group planned the Jeannette Rankin Brigade action. Allen later left the group, criticizing their views of motherhood and rejection of traditional roles for women. She  worked for The Guardian in early 1968. She moved to San Francisco, where she joined the feminist group Sudsofloppen. Based on her experiences with the group, she wrote the influential pamphlet Free Space: A Perspective on the Small Group in Women's Liberation, in which she outlined a four-stage method of consciousness raising. The work was influenced by humanistic psychology.

She was editor for the newspaper of the Union Women's Alliance to Gain Equality (Union WAGE). She was also involved with the Bridal Fair action of 1969, the Miss America protest, and International Women's Day.

She changed her name from Pamela Allen to Chude Pamela Allen.
