title: Streetcars in Reno

text:
For over two decades in the early twentieth century, there existed a network of streetcars in Reno that served as the main mode of public transit in Reno, Nevada, United States. The system consisted of a streetcar network in the area of Reno and Sparks, Nevada, as well as an interurban line between Reno and the Moana Springs resort.

Reno's streetcar network operated from Thanksgiving Day in 1904 to September 1927.

To the present day, the early twentieth century streetcar network in Reno, Nevada is the only streetcar or light rail system that has ever operated in the state of Nevada.

History

Background

There were only a few settlers in the Reno area after 1850, until the discovery of silver in the Comstock Lode which led to a silver rush in the area and resulted in more settlers in Reno. By January 1863, the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) had begun laying tracks east from Sacramento, California, in order to connect with the Union Pacific Railroad at Promontory, Utah, and form the First transcontinental railroad. Once the railroad station was established, the town of Reno officially came into being on May 9, 1868. In 1871, Reno became the county seat of the newly expanded Washoe County, replacing the previous county seat, located at Washoe City.

After the opening of the Transcontinental Railroad, branch railroads began to connect with the first Transcontinental Railroad.  For example, the Virginia and Truckee Railroad was extended to Reno in 1872, which provided a boost to the new city's economy. These railroads hauled lumber from Carson City to the mines, and ore from the mines out to the main Transcontinental Railroad. In 1885, the University of Nevada (then called Nevada State University) moved from Elko to Reno.

Reno's streetcar system

By the early 1900s, Reno was large enough that the establishment of an electric streetcar system for public transit in the city was justified. A group of local businessmen organized the Nevada Transit Company, with the aim of building an electric streetcar line.  The line, which traveled the  route between Reno and the newly founded town of Sparks, Nevada, was constructed in just four months, and opened with a celebration on Thanksgiving Day, 1904.

This initial streetcar line ran from Reno's downtown railway node eastward to Sparks, turning south just before Deer Park, then east to run to the Southern Pacific roundhouse and railroad yards. The portion of the line in Reno proper traveled west along Fourth Street to Sierra Street, then south to Second Street, east to Virginia Street, and south again to the Truckee River. In January 1905, the line's route was extended over the Truckee River on the Virginia Street Bridge. The car barn for the streetcar company stood at 911 E. 4th Street, near Morrill Avenue.

The streetcar service was purchased in 1906 and was renamed the Reno Traction Company. Streetcars were used heavily by commuting workers, shoppers, and pleasure-seekers headed to Wieland’s Park (later known as Coney Island), with the Reno-Sparks line being by far the most popular and generating 80% of all ridership. With an initial fare of ten cents, the journey from Reno to Sparks took approximately thirty minutes, with the streetcar traveling at just ten miles per hour.

Later expansions connected downtown Reno to the University of Nevada to the north of downtown. A separate company, the Nevada Interurban, offered interurban service southward along Plumas Street to the Moana Springs resort.

The decline of Reno's streetcar network

However, the increasing popularity of automobiles, as well as the high cost of track maintenance, soon led to the decline of streetcars in Reno.

Facing declining patronage, the Reno Traction Company stopped service on every route in Reno in 1919, except for the Reno-Sparks line.

Intercity bus service between Reno and Sparks began on June 15, 1927, attracting away the remaining streetcar line's customers. Operations on the Reno-Sparks line ended soon afterwards, in September 1927.  This was the final end of Reno's over two decade experiment with a streetcar system.

Potential streetcar revival discussions

On October 11, 2009, Reno opened up a new bus rapid transit (BRT) line called RTC Rapid along Virginia Street, sharing a portion of its route with Reno's original streetcar line.  Around the time of the opening of the RTC Rapid line, some discussions of ultimately converting the BRT line to a streetcar line arose.  However, there have been no further discussion of converting the BRT line to a streetcar line since that time, and there is no mention of building a streetcar line in Reno's long-range transportation plan.

title: Sam Henry (musician)

text:
Samuel William Henry (December 28, 1956 – February 20, 2022) was an American drummer, best known for his work with the punk rock group The Wipers. He was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2011.

Musical career

The Wipers
Henry played with multiple bands growing up but it was not until 1975/76 when he met Greg Sage and Dave Koupal that he formed his first serious band. The trio played for a year or so together before moving to Cape Coral, Florida, and forming what then became the band The Wipers in 1977, with the original lineup of Sam Henry on drums, Dave Koupal on bass, and Greg Sage on guitar and vocals. According to Henry they had to move out of Portland because the insurgence of the 70's disco left them with no place to play. After moving out of Florida and back to Portland The band recorded and released their first two singles ("Better Off Dead" and "Alien Boy"), as well as their first full length "Is This Real". The band continued to move around the country including making a move to New York, but in 1979 Henry left the band and joined Fred Cole and his wife Toody Cole to play in the pre-Dead Moon band called The Rats.

Napalm Beach
Henry was the drummer in The Rats until 1981 when he left the band and joined Chris Newman to play in Napalm Beach. Napalm Beach was Henry's longest running band, playing their final show on Sam's 60th birthday.

Jenny Don't and the Spurs
In 2009 Henry formed the Portland band "Don't" with Jenny Connors, Dan Lowinger, and David Minick. The group released a full-length LP titled "Away, Away" and two 45's on Kelly Halliburton's label "Doomtown Sounds" and one single on the Long Island label "Dead Broke Rekerds". Don't went on tour with Pierced Arrows as direct support for two U.S. tours in 2011 and 2012 and toured Europe in 2013.

Henry and Jenny also joined with Kelly Halliburton to form the roots/alt-country band Jenny Don't and The Spurs.  The trio released their first single on Fred Cole's label Tombstone Records.

title: Claude Ignace François Michaud

text:
Claude Ignace François Michaud (28 October 1751 – 19 October 1835) commanded French troops during the French Revolutionary Wars, rising to command the Army of the Rhine in 1794. After serving in a cavalry regiment from 1780 to 1783 he returned to civilian life. During the French Revolution he became lieutenant colonel of a volunteer battalion. In 1793 he was promoted to both general of brigade and general of division. He led a division at Haguenau and Second Wissembourg.

When Jean-Charles Pichegru was transferred to lead the Army of the North in January 1794, Michaud was elevated to army command somewhat unwillingly. That year he led the army at Schifferstadt and the Vosges. The army was consolidated with the Army of Rhin-et-Moselle in April 1795. He commanded posts in the interior until 1800 when he led troops at the Mincio in Italy. He commanded soldiers in Holland and North Germany from 1805 to 1813 during the First French Empire. He retired in 1814 and died in 1835. MICHAUD is one of the names inscribed under the Arc de Triomphe, on Column 13.

text:
Poverest is an area in south-east London, England, within the London Borough of Bromley in Greater London. Prior to 1965 it was within the historic county of Kent. It lies south of St Paul's Cray, west of St Mary Cray, north of Orpington and Broom Hill, and east of Petts Wood.

History
The remains of a Roman bathhouse and Saxon burial ground have been uncovered on Poverest Road. The name is a corruption of Margaret de Pouery, who owned a manorial estate here in the 14th century. Some limited development took place in the 19th century, with cottages being built to house workers in the nearby paper mills, however the area remained a predominantly rural one into the 20th century. Mass house building occurred in the late 1910s-20s, with a shopping parade being built along Marion Crescent.

Amenities
The main shopping area is along Marion Crescent, with a smaller parade located on Tillingbourne Green/Ranmore Path. The main green spaces in the area are Poverest Park, Tillingbourne Green and Robin Hood Green.

title: No. 2 Air Navigation School RCAF

text:
No. 2 Air Navigation School was a navigation training school in No. 3 Training Command RCAF, of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan("BCATP"), flying Avro Anson's from RCAF Station Pennfield Ridge. It was opened on 21 July 1941 and closed on 30 April 1942. A second school with the same number opened at RCAF Station Charlottetown on 21 February 1944 and closed on 7 July 1945.

RCAF Eastern Air Command was part of the Royal Canadian Air Force's Home War Establishment responsible for air operations on the Atlantic coast of Canada during the Second World War, including BCATP flight schools.  Many of its assigned training schools conducted advanced flying courses including Service Flying Training (SFTS), Air Observer (AOS), Bombing and Gunnery (BGS), General Reconnaissance (ocean patrol) (GRS), Naval Aerial Gunnery (NAGS), Air Navigation (ANS) and Operational (OTU) training throughout the war. Together with some advanced aircraft types these units mainly flew older bomber and patrol aircraft that had been removed from active service.

These schools were not part of the Order of Battle of RCAF Eastern Air Command. However, 3 Training Command aircraft were very active over the entire Eastern Command Area of Operations. They made an important contribution to the surveillance of the region as a force multiplier, providing extra eyes and ears. During the emergency known as the Battle of the St. Lawrence, their role was very important and some units undertook combat patrols.

title: Break the Rules (Charli XCX song)

text:
"Break the Rules" is a song by English singer Charli XCX from her second studio album, Sucker (2014). It was released on 19 August 2014 as the album's second single. In a 2020 interview with Red Bull, XCX stated that she regrets recording the track.

Composition

"Break the Rules" is an electro-rock and alternative rock song, set against a "propulsive" synth-pop groove. The song is written in the key of E major in common time with a tempo of 124 beats per minute.  "Break the Rules" follows a chord progression of C5–B5–A5–E5–F5, and Charli's vocals span from B3 to C5.

Critical reception
Cosmopolitan listed "Break the Rules" at number five on its 2014 best songs list. Ahead of the release of her 2022 album Crash, Consequence of Sound ranked the song as Charli's best, which she disagreed with.

Music video
The music video for "Break the Rules" was directed by Marc Klasfeld and premiered on 25 August 2014. The video was filmed at Birmingham High School while class was in session, so the lyrics "getting high and getting wrecked" had to be muted during playbacks. According to Charli, the video draws inspiration from films such as Carrie (1976), The Craft (1996) and Jawbreaker (1999). It features a cameo from actress Rose McGowan, the star of Jawbreaker, as a school chaperone.

Usage in media
The song was used in trailers for the 2015 film Goosebumps. It was also featured in the 2016 film Good Kids. The song was also used in a 2016 Dish Network commercial and as the theme song of season 7 of Vietnam's Next Top Model. It is also used in both trailers for the 2020 film My Spy.

Mchunu vs. Usyk
Mchunu challenged the reigning WBO cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on the Bernard Hopkins vs. Joe Smith Jr. undercard on 17 December 2016. The bout took place at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The fight started out slow, causing the fans in attendance to boo with displeasure. The pace picked up after the first couple of rounds when Usyk began breaking down Mchunu, before knocking him out in the ninth round. Mchunu was outlanded 163 to 76 in total punches.

Mixed fortunes
Following the third loss of his professional career, Mchunu was scheduled to face Johnny Muller for the vacant African and South African cruiserweight titles on 10 June 2017. He thoroughly dominated Muller en-route to a unanimous decision victory, with all three judges awarding Mchunu a 120-108 scorecard. After he bounced back from his loss to Usyk, Mchunu was booked to challenge the WBC International and Continental Americas cruiserweight champion Constantin Bejenaru on 25 November 2017.

The two fought an immediate rematch on 8 December 2018, with his South African cruiserweight and Oosthuizen's African cruiserweight titles being on the line. Mchunu won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 118-111, 119-111 and 119-109.

Second cruiserweight title run

WBC Silver cruiserweight champion

Shihepo retired from the bout at the end of the third round, thus awarding Mchunu a stoppage victory. Shihepo gave a surprising reason for his retirement from the fight however, stating: "I am hungry, I have no energy because I never had anything to eat".

Mchunu vs. Lebedev
Mchunu faced the former unified cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev for the vacant WBC Silver cruiserweight title on 21 December 2019, at the Ivan Yarygin Sports Palace in Krasnoyarsk, Russia.

Lebedev was ranked #9 by the WBC at cruiserweight. Mchunu won the fight by a wide unanimous decision, with scores of 119-108, 120-107 and 115-112. Lebedev subsequently announced his second retirement from the sport.

Mchunu vs. Tishchenko
Mchunu made his first WBC Silver title defense against the 2016 Olympic gold medalist Evgeny Tishchenko on 27 March 2021, at the RCC Boxing Academy in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in what was the WBC cruiserweight title eliminator as well. He won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 117-111, 117-111 and 119-109. By beating Tishchenko, Mchunu earned the status of mandatory challenger to the reigning WBC champion Ilunga Makabu, who handed Mchunu his second professional loss.

Mchunu vs. Makabu
Mchunu is scheduled to make his second world title challenge against the reigning WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu on January 29, 2022, at the Packard Music Hall in Warren, Ohio. Makabu was ranked as the #2 cruiserweight in the world by The Ring magazine. The bout was independently broadcast on Fite TV by Don King promotions. Makabu won the fight by split decision. Two of the judge scored the bout in his favor (115–113 and 116–112), while the third judge scored it 115–113 for Mchunu. Many news outlets disagreed with the decision, as they had scored it in favor of Mchunu.

Later career
On January 31, 2023, Mchunu was ordered by the WBC to face the former light heavyweight world champion Sergey Kovalev in a cruiserweight semifinal eliminator.

It was recorded on August 7, 2010, at a concert at Marco Zeroo in Recife, in front of tens of thousands, and encompassing the band's biggest hits. On 1 March 2012, the group performed a show at Quinta da Boa Vista, on the birthday of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Album and DVD Sorriso 15 Anos - Ao Vivo celebrated the 15th anniversary of the band, and the participation of several artist in support like Jammil e Uma Noites, Trio Ternura, Coral Resgate, Revelação, Gusttavo Lima, amongst others.

The American musician Brian McKnight, rerecorded a new version of the band's 2002 hit "E Agora Nós?" version of the song retitled "Back at One". Michel Teló recorded "É Nóis Fazê Parapapá" in 2013, giving the band and its singer Bruno Cardoso greater international fame. Also in 2013, the band released Riscos e Certezas, an EP of six tracks. The bonus track "Fofinha Delícia (Excesso de Gostosura)" was used as theme song the soap opera Amor à Vida.

In 2015, their album Sorriso Eu Gosto - Ao Vivo No Maracanãzinho was nominated for the 16th Latin Grammy Awards in the Best Samba/Pagode Album category.

No. 8 Service Flying Training School RCAF was a flight training squadron in 3 Training Command, of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), flying Avro Ansons from RCAF Station Moncton, New Brunswick. The school was opened 23 December 1940.  The school was relocated to RCAF Station Weyburn, Saskatchewan on 24 January 1944 and was disbanded 30 June 1944.

RCAF Eastern Air Command was the part of the Royal Canadian Air Force's Home War Establishment responsible for air operations on the Atlantic coast of Canada during the Second World War, including BCATP flight schools.  Many of its assigned training schools conducted advanced flying courses including Service Flying Training (SFTS), Air Observer (AOS), Bombing and Gunnery (BGS), General Reconnaissance (ocean patrol) (GRS), Naval Aerial Gunnery (NAGS), Air Navigation (ANS) and Operational (OTU) training throughout the war. Together with some advanced aircraft types these units mainly flew older bomber and patrol aircraft that had been removed from active service.

These schools were not part of the Order of Battle of RCAF Eastern Air Command. However, 3 Training Command aircraft were very active over the entire Eastern Command Area of Operations. They made an important contribution to the surveillance of the region as a force multiplier, providing extra eyes and ears. During the emergency known as the Battle of the St. Lawrence their role was very important and some units undertook combat patrols.

title: Daniel Reintzel

text:
Daniel Reintzel (November 3, 1755November 18, 1828) was an American merchant who served three terms as mayor of the town of Georgetown, both when it was part of Maryland and when it was part of the District of Columbia.

Life and career

Early life
Daniel Reintzel was born in November 1755 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, to Johan Valentine Reintzel Sr. and Maria Sarah Reintzel ( Riegle).  The family came from the Imperial Free City of Hamburg in the Holy Roman Empire (now Germany), emigrating to North America in the early 1700s. He had six brothers (Andreas, George, Johan Jacob, Conrad Jacob, Jorg David, and Valentine) and four sisters (Mariliss, Maria Margreta, Maria Magdalena, and Maria Katerina).

Founding Georgetown and Maryland legislative service
Almost nothing is known of Reintzel's early life and education, and it is unclear when he moved from Pennsylvania to southern Maryland. But Daniel and his brothers Johan (or John) and Valentine were well-established in Georgetown by 1780. All three brothers were heavily involved in the buying and selling of real estate in the town. Georgetown was chartered as a town by the Province of Maryland on June 8, 1751. The province appointed seven Commissioners to identify property for purchase, lay out the town, and govern it. Reintzel must have been well-established, well-known, and highly respected by 1782, for on May 22 he was appointed clerk to the Georgetown Commissioners (the previous clerk having performed his job poorly). Reintzel served as clerk probably to January 20, 1789, when the Georgetown Commissioners met for the last time.

Georgetown was incorporated by the Maryland General Assembly on December 25, 1789. The town's charter provided for a mayor, recorder, several aldermen, and a "common council" of 10 people. The first recorded meeting of the common council was on November 28, 1791. Reintzel was appointed an alderman, and attended the meeting.

On July 9, 1790, Congress passed the Residence Act, which approved the creation of a national capital on the Potomac River. The exact location was to be selected by President George Washington, who chose a portion of the states of Maryland and Virginia on January 24, 1791. Until December 1, 1800, citizens of the District of Columbia were able to vote in federal, state, and local elections in both Maryland and Virginia. Under Maryland law, a free male could vote in Maryland if he owned a minimum of  of land and had £30. Reintzel ran for and won election to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1794 and 1795, and served one-year terms as a delegate from Montgomery County in 1795 and 1796.

Mayor of Georgetown
Reintzel was elected Mayor of Georgetown on January 4, 1796, to a one-year term. Other members of the Reintzel family were also prominent in town affairs at this time: Valentine Reintzel served on the Georgetown Common Council in 1791, and brothers Anthony and Johan served on separate committees in 1800 which investigated incidents of yellow fever in the mid-Atlantic area.

Reintzel's first term of office ended on January 1, 1797. He was replaced as mayor by Lloyd Beall, brother of George Beall (whose land was condemned in order to found the town). But Beall received a commission in the Continental Army, which was then fighting in the American Revolutionary War. Believing he could not serve as mayor and in the army at the same time, he resigned on October 19, 1799. Reintzel was elected mayor the same day. Reintzel's mayoralty was widely supported by the people of the town, which was growing rapidly during this period. He served one-year terms as mayor continuously for the next three years.

Reintzel stepped down as mayor at the beginning of January 1803 in favor of the new mayor, wealthy landowner Thomas Corcoran. Corcoran served two terms as mayor, and Reintzel was again elected mayor in 1805. He served two terms as mayor before stepping down for good on January 3, 1808.

Post-mayoral life
Daniel Reintzel married Elizabeth Waughop in 1804. He owned at least three African slaves during his lifetime, including one named Abraham Aftley. Aftley had been owned by Lloyd Beall, and was purchased at some point by Reintzel. Reintzel freed Aftley on March 26, 1806, and required no payment from Aftley or anyone else in order to give Aftley his freedom.

In November 1812, President James Madison appointed Reintzel justice of the peace for Washington County (that part of the District of Columbia outside Georgetown and the City of Washington).

Supreme Court cases

In the last two decades of his life, Reintzel was involved in two legal actions—both of which ended up before the Supreme Court of the United States.

The first case, , involved an action taken by Reintzel as mayor. His brother, George, and a business partner, Jacob Mountz, had taken out a loan in 1805. They defaulted on this loan, and the lenders, one Hodgson and Thompson, sought relief. Maryland law allowed the lenders to avoid seizure of their goods if they swore before two justices of the peace that they were liable for the loan. This avoided a lengthy court proceeding to prove that the debt had, in fact, been incurred. Mountz, without George Reintzel, went before justices of the peace John Ott and Daniel Reintzel and affirmed the debt. But Daniel Reintzel signed his name as Mayor of Georgetown, rather than as Justice of the Peace for Washington County. Six months later, Hodgson and Thompson attempted to seize the goods of Mountz in payment of the debt. Mountz sued for relief, claiming that Reintzel had signed in his capacity as mayor rather than justice of the peace, and that George Reintzel was not present for the affirmation. The Supreme Court overruled Mountz on both issues.

The second legal action () began in 1822, and was decided in January 1829 (two months after his death). Reintzel took out a loan for $3,700 on May 6, 1819, from the Bank of Columbia. The loan was guaranteed by Thomas Corcoran. A second and third loan, each in the amount of $400, was secured by Reintzel in May 1819. When the loans came due, Reintzel refused to pay. The bank sought payment from Corcoran as endorser of the first loan, and left notice for him at the store owned by his son, James Corcoran. The bank sued in court, and a default judgment issued against Thomas Corcoran. Corcoran counter-sued, arguing that he had never properly been notified of the suit. The bank asked the court to instruct the jury that leaving the notice at the store was sufficient, since Corcoran lived above the store. The court declined, and the jury found for Corcoran (e.g., he had not been properly notified of the suit). The bank appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which held that no error had been committed. It affirmed the jury's finding.

Reintzel's brother, Anthony, was a litigant involved in a third Supreme Court case, .

Death
Reintzel died of unspecified causes at his home on November 18, 1828. He had just celebrated his 73rd birthday. He was initially interred at the Presbyterian Burying Ground in Georgetown, a cemetery for the town's elite.

The Presbyterian Burying Ground was largely abandoned by 1891. By 1907, its owners had agreed to have all bodies in the cemetery removed so that the land might be converted to a city park. Reintzel's body was disinterred in November 1907 and—according to the Washington Evening Star newspaper—was reburied at Prospect Hill Cemetery. This report was incorrect; Daniel Reintzel was reburied in the Masonic Circle at Glenwood Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

title: Wat That Khao

text:
Wat That Khao (; "Temple of the White Reliquary") is a ruined temple in the Wiang Kum Kam archaeological site, south of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, thought to have been built in the 16th or 17th century. Its chedi is presumed to have been formerly lime-plastered, hence the name. The temple faces northeast.

History
Excavation started in 1985. A vihara was found in front of the chedi, and at its rear an altar and a wall. South of the vihara a building considered to have perhaps been a rites pavilion was discovered, behind which parts of a lime-coated, brick Buddha image were discovered. Also discovered were 16th century writings in the Fak Kham script, and Haripunchai-style Buddha amulets dating to the 15th century that are assumed to have been brought to the site at a later date. Excavation was halted due to a land ownership dispute, and restoration of the structures was completed in 1986.

title: Miriam Cabessa

text:
Miriam Cabessa (born 1966) is an Israeli-American painter, performance and installation artist, winner of the 2022 Israeli Ministry of Culture Lifetime Achievement Award. Cabessa was born in Morocco, raised in Israel, and has lived and worked in New York City since 2000. Her slow action painting has been internationally recognized since 1997 when she represented Israel at the Venice Biennale. Over the past two decades, she has abstained from using brushes, opting to make marks with objects and her body. Her imagery ranges from organic to mechanistic with surfaces that are both haptically handmade and digitally serene. Cabessa has shown extensively in the U.S., Europe, and Israel.

Biography

Miriam Cabessa was born in 1966 in Casablanca, Morocco. In 1969 she immigrated to Israel together with her family and settled in the city of Tiberias. At the age of thirteen, she moved to Kibbutz Sha'ar Hagolan in the Jordan Valley. She grew up in an artistic home: her father was a jazz trumpeter and her mother ran the “Maskit” shop of Tiberias (a state-owned company promoting locally produced fashion and crafts) and founded a sewing school named after her, the “Helen” School. Cabessa started following private drawing lessons at the age of six and later studied painting at Tel Hai College. She also trained horses at the farm of Kibbutz Sha'ar Hagolan. At seventeen she qualified for a brown belt in karate and worked as a karate coach at Kibbutz Afikim. She was also one of the first windsurfers to windsurf on the Sea of Galilee. She served in the Israeli army in the mid-1980s and moved to Tel Aviv after completing her military service.

In the year 1988, Cabessa studied at the late Kalisher painting school, after which she studied privately with the artist Tamara Rickman for three years. Cabessa went on to study Fine Art at the Midrasha Art School from 1991 to 1993, and Theory and Criticism at Camera Obscura in 1997. Soon after completing her degree at the Midrasha, she was invited to participate in a group exhibition at the Tel Aviv Art Museum curated by Ellen Ginton. She gained public attention in 1993 with her first solo exhibition at Dvir Gallery, where she presented a series of paintings on masonite that laid the foundations for her artistic identity: using houseware items such as mops, garbage cans, plates and drinking glasses, Cabessa devised a unique and innovative technique to create painterly representations of three-dimensional pipes. Although seemingly complex and computer-generated, the works were all handmade by the artist. The gap between these images and their production process aroused much skepticism and wonder. The exhibition's works thrived on the Israeli art market and positioned Cabessa as a promising young artist. In 1995 she became the first winner of the Gottesdiener Prize, sponsored by the Tel Aviv Art Museum and considered as one of the most prestigious prizes for Israeli artists. At the Gottesdiener Prize exhibition she presented paintings on masonite and graphite works on paper. The show was accompanied by a catalog.

In 1997 Cabessa was chosen by Sarah Breitberg-Semel to represent Israel at the Israeli pavilion of the Venice Biennale. Cabessa exhibited a series of paintings which notably refined and consolidated the artist's pictural language: the presented black-and-white oil paintings on masonite of abstract swirls and stripes confirmed the artist's high degree of artistic precision, virtuosity and control. Whereas her show at Dvir Gallery had demonstrated her immense capacity for imagination, the Biennale exhibition established her abilities for restraint and self-discipline. One of the works in the series is a “30-second painting”, titled after the duration for which Cabessa imprinted her touch on the painting. Plastik Magazine published a reproduction of this work along with an interview of the artist by Reilly Azoulay. The use of performative constraints and self-instructions allows Cabessa to reformulate the painterly act as both process-based and conceptually driven. The “30-second” constraint is borrowed from the military realm; yet the additional instruction to touch the painting's surface with eyes closed serves to turn a masculine principle into a feminine, intimate and sensual act. This will later lead Cabessa to create public painting performances, exposing to the audience the intimacy of her painting process.

In 1998, Cabessa presented “Mummies”, a series of powerful works produced with a cold and hot iron. This series mimics the act of ironing in a seemingly desperate attempt to flatten out the surface of the painting, bringing to mind both modernism and the tradition of flat painting. Cabessa's choice of painting tools is part of a conscious attempt to turn domestic appliances into feminist instruments: she disconnects houseware items from their original function and redefines their purpose within a new and elevated context. Cabessa has thus transformed garbage cans, rags and squeegees into painting tools. In doing so, she is to be associated with feminist artists from the 1980s such as Barbara Krueger, Cindy Sherman and Sherry Levine, who rather than striving to master the act of painting itself have aimed to question how women could enter the male-dominated world of painting. Hence the act of ironing touches upon both personal memories - the smell of ironing in Cabessa's childhood home - and a much wider feminist aspiration: to break through social and gender limitations.

Before her departure to New York, Cabessa exhibited at Dvir Gallery a painting series of imaginary urban landscapes of New York City. She moved to Manhattan in October 1999 and joined the ISCP studio residency program a year later. In 2001 she started working with Stefan Stux Gallery, leading her work to gain a wider exposure on the New York art scene. In 2002, she participated in a group exhibition curated by John Yao at the Maryland Institute College of Art. This led Yao and Cabessa to initiate a close dialogue on Cabessa's work; its mode of action, its pictorial language and its bodily presence. Yao uncovered the femininity in Cabessa's work and the ingenuity with which it evades masculine motion; some aspects of the artist's practice which only grew stronger and sharper over the years. Cabessa began to think of her work in terms of language: she wanted to formulate a unique language of painting movements by tapping into a much wider context. At this stage, personal and spiritual investigations had become more prevalent in her life and work. She became associated with various spiritual groups operating in New York and beyond ("Circle Paintings", a solo exhibition at Alon Segev Gallery in Tel Aviv, 2003). Her work became particularly influenced by Sufi whirling: the loss of orientation and sense of ecstasy that this practice generates allows for a change in consciousness which guided the artist in her painting. Cabessa would walk around the canvas for long hours, retracing a neverending circular motion.

In 2004, Cabessa's painting process was filmed for the first time in a series of five video works, each lasting a few minutes, documenting her painting action from start to finish.

Between 2005 and 2009, Cabessa participated in group exhibitions in the United States and in Europe. In 2008, she exhibited at Slate Gallery a series of 30 paintings entitled "79" and entirely made with oil and gold dust. 79 is the atomic number of the chemical element of gold which pigment Cabessa used in her paintings.

In 2009 she performed for the first time in front of an audience. In a performance called "Slow motion action painting," she painted on a 15-meter-long canvas using a keffiyeh and a tallit (Jewish prayer shawl). The performance was supported by Artis and presented at Pulse Art Fair on its opening day for 12 consecutive hours. In choosing a keffiyeh and a tallit as painting tools, Cabessa neutralized the highly symbolic charge of those traditional garments while simultaneously uniting them into a harmonious form through the act of painting. They give in to each other and follow each other's motion, in a dialogue that is both formal and conceptual.

In 2010, following a deepened spiritual process, Cabessa exhibited a series of works described as “slow-motion action painting” in which she examined the movement generated by meditative and conscious breathing. The resulting paintings present themselves as breathing traces, or seismographs of the body's vibrations. These works have been shown on a number of platforms throughout the world.

In 2012 Cabassa held a performance at Rothschild 69 Gallery in Tel Aviv, for which she invited about 100 guests. “Performance” had two stages: in the first stage, Cabessa reenacted painting actions from her past works, engaging in a kind of live retrospective. In the second stage, she crawled from one side of the five meter-long surface to the other. The crawling action, a unit of time in itself, served to redefine and delineate time.
In the same year Cabessa exhibited a series of Circle paintings at the Nye+Brown Gallery in Los Angeles, which specializes in artists from the 1960s. Their interest in Cabessa's work lied in the Pop-Art quality proper to this series of painting.

In 2014, Cabessa presented a solo exhibition at Julie M. Gallery in Tel Aviv. She painted on 50 cm wide stickers that ran along all the gallery walls (42 meters), totaling 100 meters of painting. This work was produced in her studio over the length of several months as a stream of consciousness or intuitive writing. The final painting was thus presented just as it was made, without any painting rehearsal or subsequent correction.

In 2015, Cabessa exhibited at Jenn Singer Gallery in New York. For this painting series, Cabessa laid out books she had read and especially liked onto an oil-covered plywood surface, leaving the imprint of their open pages on the surface and at times even inverted letters from the text. She presented close to fifty paintings bearing the imprints of books by authors such as Nabokov and Kafka, selected from Cabessa's collection of most influential books. The produced images deliberately resemble a series of vaginas: like spread-out legs, the imprints of the open books symbolically serve to feminize the books’ mostly male writers. The surprising aspect of this process consisted in the wide variety of images produced from similar-looking books.

At the beginning of 2017, Cabessa decided to start running a studio in Tel Aviv in parallel to her studio in New York, and it is with a strong sense of nostalgia that she returned to the country and landscapes of her birth. She was invited to work at the Harel printing workshop which had just inaugurated a printing press for formats of 2 meters by 1.40 meters, and on which Cabessa was commissioned to produce a new series of works. She chose to use the printing press as one of her painting tools: the Kinneret print series was produced using the press to spread out color. The press served to produce the paint stain, using a mixture of oil paints and metallic pigments to create images reminiscent of the light reflections and surface changes on the Sea of Galilee. The return to the Sea of Galilee is for Cabessa a return to her childhood years when she used to live in Tiberias and observe for long hours the water's changing surface and reflection. As a windsurfer in her youth, Cabessa had established a deep connection with the lake. About 20 works from this series of monotypes were selected for an exhibition at Harel Gallery.

In 2018, she presented her first collaborative project “Night Painting” at the Uri and Rami Nehoshtan Museum, a contemporary art museum located in Kibbutz Ashdot Yaakov in the Jordan Valley, curated by its director Smadar Keren. The work was created in collaboration with theater director Noam Ben Azar and his group of actors. Over the course of a year, they met for a series of improvisation exercises based on the “Grid technique”. This technique acts as a framework for producing incidental interactions and compositions, and allows the actors to reach a deeper intuitive state from which to draw material for their performance. During the sessions, actors were directed by Ben Azar to move around the space following imaginary vertical and horizontal lines on the canvas, tuning themselves to their own body and feelings while maintaining an acute awareness of others’ movements in the space; during that time Cabessa worked with diluted oil paint on the canvas, alternately adding and subtracting paint. This resulted in a four-hour live performance, video and large-scale painting.

In early 2019, Cabessa created “Living Room”, a temporary painting installation that takes over the living room of an old Brooklyn apartment. The 100-year-old building is set to be renovated in the course of 2019. The piece took eight full days to complete. Cabessa painted over the entire space, including the walls, floor and furniture - lamp, table, chair, couch, etc., using the vibration of her own breath to dictate the rhythm of her brushstrokes. If the painting gesture is usually associated with fast and intuitive movements, in this piece it becomes the result of a very slow and careful observation of the breath. This piece marked the beginning of a new direction in Cabessa's work. She later had a solo exhibition "Time of the World" at Be'eeri Gallery where she painted on the entire space, and later in 2022 she painted on an entire space at Haifa Museum in "Vital Signs" exhibition.

title: Henry Wakefield (American football)

text:
Henry Smith "Hek" Wakefield  (February 10, 1899 – November 19, 1962) was an American college football player and coach. He played fullback and end for the Vanderbilt Commodores of Vanderbilt University from 1921 to 1924, receiving the honor of consensus All-American in his senior year. He was considered the greatest drop kicker in school history.

Early years
Wakefield was born on February 10, 1899, in Petersburg, Tennessee, to Samuel S. T. Wakefield and Lula Dyer.  Samuel, who owned a sawmill in Petersburg, reportedly died in 1917 as a result of burns caused by the explosion of a steam engine at his sawmill.

Prep school
Wakefield attended prep school at Fitzgerald & Clarke School in Tullahoma, Tennessee, where he won a state football title on a team coached by Wallace Wade, who later coached Wakefield at Vanderbilt. All-American Vanderbilt end Lynn Bomar was a teammate at both  Fitzgerald & Clarke and Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt University

Football
Wakefield played for coach Dan McGugin's Vanderbilt Commodores from 1921 to 1924.  He was a prominent member of Commodores teams that compiled a win–loss–tie record of 26–5–4 () over his four seasons, and was an All-Southern selection in 1923 and 1924. The Commodores won three conference titles over this span, including their most recent one to date. He played fullback and end, as well as kicker for extra points and field goals.

1921
Wakefield starred in the Sewanee game to finish his freshman year. The Commodores closed the undefeated season winning 9 to 0 in what was called the "muddiest game" in its history.  The Commodores were reportedly knee-deep in mud and water, with players unrecognizable. The touchdown for Vanderbilt came after Wakefield's punt of 54 yards was fumbled by Sewanee and recovered by Pos Elam. The subsequent drive resulted in a five-yard touchdown run by Wakefield. Wakefield kicked his own extra point.

1922

Wakefield was the starting fullback and kicker for the undefeated 1922 team. He was thus a starter for the scoreless tie with Michigan at the dedication of Vanderbilt's new Dudley Field. "That's the only game in which I prayed", said Wakefield, "I was a sophomore at the time and when they put me in, I remember saying a little prayer that Michigan would run the other way." In the game against Texas at the Texas State Fair, which Vanderbilt won 20 to 10, the Commodores' first score came after Wakefield recovered a fumble by Texas's Franklin Stacy on a punt return, at the 25-yard line.  Wakefield also blocked a Texas field goal attempt that day. He made an 18-yard field goal in a 9 to 0 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats. A trick play which resulted in a touchdown thrown from Doc Kuhn to Lynn Bomar against Sewanee was set up by a 33-yard punt return by Wakefield. Vanderbilt won 26 to 0, finishing the year as Southern Conference champions. Wakefield made seven extra points on the year.

1923
During the 1923 season, in a close loss of 3 to 0 against that season's eventual national champion, Michigan, opposing coach Fielding Yost said of Wakefield, "I never saw a greater exhibition of end play." The Kingsport Times reported that governor Austin Peay had praised Wakefield for his play that day. In the game against Tulane, Wakefield had to play quarterback. Vanderbilt was without its quarterback and captain, Doc Kuhn, as well as halfback Gil Reese. Reese had hurt his knee, and during the previous week's game against the Texas Longhorns, Kuhn was hit on the head and had yet to regain his mental composure. Vanderbilt won 17–0. Wakefield contributed a field goal to the 51–7 drubbing of the Tennessee Volunteers. Against the Georgia Bulldogs, the Commodores won 35–7. In the third quarter, Kuhn completed a 45-yard pass to Wakefield, caught at Georgia's four-yard line. From there, Vanderbilt scored with a line buck from Tom Ryan. Georgia athletic director and former coach Herman Stegeman rated Wakefield as the best player in all of the south. At year's end, Wakefield, along with Bomar, were selected as All-Southern ends. Vanderbilt and Washington & Lee finished the season as co-champions of the Southern Conference. A poll of sportswriters selected the Commodores as the best team in the south, awarding them the Champ Pickens Trophy.

Jack Wakefield
In a postseason contest played for the benefit of local charitable institutions, Vanderbilt played a cast of former Princeton varsity stars on December 8. Among the stars were Stan Keck, Frank Murrey, Hank Garrity, John P. Gorman, Ralph Gilroy, A. Barr Snively, and Herb Treat. It was the first showcase of Eastern football in Nashville in many years. The Commodores tied the team of ex-Tigers, 7–7. Both scoring plays occurred within five minutes of each other. Murrey mentored Wakefield in the art of drop-kicking.

During the game, the one player on Vanderbilt's roster not from the 1923 varsity team was Hek's younger brother, Robert Allen "Jack" Wakefield.  He was a highly renowned back on the freshman team, called "the greatest player in Southern freshman football for the past season." By all accounts, he played an inspired game, "he cut an all Princeton line into shreds of Black and Orange. He threw all America tackles aside as he would throw sacks of straw, and trampled great names into the turf." Twenty-five years later, Centre head coach Charley Moran called Jack "the greatest football player I ever saw, barring nobody." It was the only game Jack ever played with a varsity team at Vanderbilt. He soon left to play professional baseball with the Saint Louis Cardinals, but twice broke his leg in preliminary work with the Cardinals, leaving him out for the season.  On December 10, 1924, after a quarrel with his fiancee, Jack went to the house of a friend in Memphis and committed suicide with a pistol.

1924

Fred Russell's Fifty Years of Vanderbilt Football dubs 1924 "the most eventful season in the history of Vanderbilt football." Vanderbilt opened Wakefield's senior season in the rain on September 27, 1924, against Henderson-Brown at Dudley Field in Nashville, winning by a score of 13–0. Wakefield scored both touchdowns. The first came after captain and guard Tuck Kelly blocked a punt, the other on a pass into the end zone from quarterback Nig Waller. In the game with the Quantico Marines, Vanderbilt was stymied by a 13–13 tie. A newspaper account describes Vanderbilt's first score:

It was Lynn Bomar's gigantic figure that broke up what looked like a Marine cakewalk. After receiving the kickoff, the Marines drove steadily to Vanderbilt's 10-yard line as Goettge repeatedly completed short passes. At the 10, Groves dropped back. The pass from center was low. He missed it. He reached for the ball. It trickled off his fingers. The Commodores were boring in. Wakefield was in there. Then Bomar came charging through. He picked up the ball and with a twist was out of Groves' grasp. He came out of the bunch with a long, charging run. Then he seemed a little undecided. One fleeting glance behind him and he struck out. Up came his free arm to brush off his headgear. His thin, yellow hair stood out. On he swept like a thundercloud of vengeance across the goal. Bedlam broke loose.

To open the second half, Waller fumbled the kickoff. The Marines recovered and were already near the goal. The Commodores' line held the Marines scoreless inside the 10-yard line on three separate occasions, mostly due to Wakefield, Bob Ledyard, and Jess Keene.

As an interim team captain following the loss of both Kelly and Bomar to injuries, Wakefield scored twice in the Commodores' 13–0 win over the Auburn Tigers, and defeated the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 3–0 with a 37-yard drop-kick field goal. He also played every minute of an inspired game against Minnesota, resulting in Vanderbilt's first win over a Northern school: "Wakefield chose his plays with excellent judgement. His tackling forced the Gophers frequently to take time out, and he repeatedly threw Minnesota back for losses", reported the Nashville Tennessean. The final game with Sewanee saw the Tigers win for the first time in years, 16 to 0. In the first few minutes of play, Wakefield suffered a broken leg, yet played for ten more minutes before hobbling to the bench, joining Kelly and Bomar. Following his senior season, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American, having received first-team honors from the International News Service (INS), the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), and Billy Evans. Wakefield was selected a second-team All-American by Walter Camp of Collier's Weekly, who said, "The south has been entirely overlooked this year on the first eleven. It is a well known fact that the experts in that section were positive Wakefield of Vanderbilt would draw one of the ends." Billy Evans, who selected Wakefield first-team All America, claimed that "Wakefield is one of the best ends I have seen in years. Southern experts rate him the greatest end the south has ever produced."

Track
Wakefield was also a member of Vanderbilt's track team.

Coaching career
After graduating from Vanderbilt, Wakefield became an assistant coach under McGugin from 1925 to 1928. He coached the ends. Larry Creson was cited as an example of a Wakefield protégé.

Post-coaching career and death
Wakefield went into banking in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1929. On June 17, 1929, he was shot twice, but survived. In 1936, coach McGugin died, and Wakefield was a pall bearer. The same year, Wakefield suffered a broken jaw in a car crash.

Death
In 1962, Wakefield was found dead, lying in the doorway of his motel room near his parked car which had apparently been involved in a crash. The car was badly damaged; the seat stained with blood.  The investigator said Wakefield had likely crashed into a utility pole and managed to drive back to his motel before collapsing.

title: New Forest, North Yorkshire

text:
New Forest is a civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England.  It lies  west of Richmond.

There is no village in the parish.  It consists mainly of grouse moor, and the isolated farms of Helwith, Holgate, Kexwith, and Kersey Green.  The population of the parish is estimated at 10.

In Norman times the New Forest was a hunting forest, held by the Earls of Richmond together with the forest of Arkengarthdale to the west.  In the Middle Ages there were lead mines and coal mines in the forest.  It was a township in the large ancient parish of Kirkby Ravensworth until 1866, when it became a separate civil parish.

The civil parish now shares a grouped parish council with the civil parish of Marske, known as Marske & New Forest Parish Council.

title: Climacocystis borealis

text:
Climacocystis borealis is a species of poroid fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae.

Taxonomy
First described in 1821 by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries, it has since acquired an extensive synonymy of alternate scientific names. Until 2014, it was the sole member of the Climacocystis, a genus circumscribed by Czech mycologists František Kotlaba and Zdeněk Pouzar in 1958, when the newly described Chinese species Climacocystis montana was added to the genus.

Ecology and distribution
Climacocystis borealis is both a saprophyte and a secondary pathogen that causes a heart rot in the roots and bole of host trees. It is widely distributed, and has been recorded from Asia, Europe, Oceania, and North America. In China, it is found in Shanxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Tibet. It is not edible by humans.

title: Benisheik massacre

text:
The Benisheik massacre was a massacre that occurred on 18 September 2013 in Benisheik, Borno State, Nigeria.
Some 161 people were killed. Boko Haram took responsibility for the attacks.

Details
Benisheik, is located between the cities of Damaturu and Maiduguri in Borno State. The attack began on 18 September. The rebels arrived in the city through a convoy of over twenty trucks, dressed in stolen Nigerian Army uniforms and carrying anti-aircraft weapons.
Allegedly, the attack was launched by Boko Haram in response to self-defense militas that were attempting to protect the city. The rebels entered the city and set fire to numerous buildings and set up roadside checkpoints on the road between Damaturu and Maiduguri. Drivers at these roadblocks were killed if they lived in Borno State, while others were apparently free to go.

Two days later, Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the attack.

Casualties
The day after the attack, Borno State officials put the death toll at 87, though they were still looking for new bodies.

On 22 September Abdulaziz Kolomi, of the state's environmental protection agency, said that an additional 55 bodies had been found, raising the death toll to 142. According to police sources, another 16 bodies were found in Benisheik and another 19 between Maiduguri and Bamboa. The Daily Trust reported that in total 161 people had been killed; 142 travelers, 2 soldiers, 3 police officers and 14 citizens.

Reception
Variety's reviewer was enthusiastic about the film, calling it "a grand package of entertainment that will play a merry tune at the b. o... Despite his financial interests, Crosby gives support plenty of work and opportunity for some fat lines and situations. Result is a nicely molded piece of light entertainment, long on the comedy and human interest sides, with Crosby the dominant factor throughout. . .  Picture is smartly paced, hitting a nice tempo at the start and rolling merrily to the finish. . . Four tunes by Monaco and Burke are handled competently by Crosby, all good, and all with a chance for pop attention.

Frank Nugent, writing in The New York Times, was equally positive: "If there is anything in motion pictures more subtly calculated to paralyze the critical facility than Bing Crosby, it is the formula which Universal has happily hit upon in East Side of Heaven, at the Music Hall: Bing Crosby and a baby. Whatever the cause—and it is never too wise to inquire too nicely into the origins of the comic spirit—the result in this case is the most felicitous occurrence involving Crosby since last year’s Sing You Sinners Even for persons who hate crooning, the spectacle of Mr. Crosby dutifully chanting holiday greetings over the telephone for Postal Union Telegraph...should afford a certain sadistic pleasure...And those rare, dyspeptical types who hate both crooners and babies will derive an evil joy from the scenes in which Bing forced to hide the child after it is kidnapped from grandpa by mama, walks the floor in his pajamas crooning to the helpless infant."

title: LazPaint

text:
LazPaint is a free and open-source cross-platform lightweight image editor with raster and vectorial layers created with Lazarus. The software aims at being simpler than GIMP, is an alternative to Paint.NET and is also similar to Paintbrush.

Rendering is done with antialiasing and gamma correction. It can read/write usual image formats and interoperate with other layered editors via OpenRaster format. It also imports Paint.NET files (with their layer structure) and Photoshop files (as flattened images). Also, it can import 3d objects in Wavefront (.obj) format. There are complex selection functions, various filters and rendering of textures.

Colorspace
Colors are stored in sRGB colorspace but drawing functions take into account gamma correction. There are many color manipulation functions such as shifting colors and colorizing. Since version 6, there is a curve adjustments function on RGBA channels and according to a corrected HSL colorspace. This correction takes into account the gamma factor and also perceived lightness according to the hue.

Vector shapes
Since version 7, shapes are stored with vectorial information. Thus they are editable after they have been drawn and are rendered again in case of layer transform. Layers are converted when needed to raster or vector. If a tool like the pen is applied, the layer is rasterized and vectorial information becomes unavailable.

Filling can be a solid color, a gradient or a texture. It can apply to simple shapes, complex curves, text and shaded shapes.
