title: David Beattie (businessman)

text:
David Beattie (born 1955) is a British business executive who is currently Chief Executive of Enterprise Foods Ltd and chairman of Scottish Championship football club Partick Thistle.

Early life
Born in Whiteinch in 1955, David's father (a Partick born-man) was determined that his son would be the new striker for Thistle. However a footballing career never came into fruition. Educated in Linwood, he achieved very little academically but has always harboured a determination to succeed at whatever he turned his hand to.

Career
In the course of the last 30 years, he started and sold a number of companies in the food & drink industry, most recently creating the Enterprise Food Group Ltd in 1995 from the basement of his house.

He grew the company from a zero start to a position where it was employing over 500 people within the bakery sector, supplying supermarkets with cakes and related products and, in 2005, he sold the manufacturing arm of the company.

Partick Thistle
He was formally the chairman of his boyhood team Partick Thistle. As director, he helped the club see off a debt of around £3 million and, along with a managerial team of Alan Archibald and Scott Paterson, led Thistle into the 2013-14 Scottish Premiership. He also introduced the club's popular under-16s go free to Firhill scheme along with the then manager Ian McCall.

In July 2019, Beattie returned to the club after the dismissal of the incumbent board led by Jacqui Low after a poor domestic season in the Scottish Championship and allegations of poor financial management. He will form a new executive board for the 2019–20 season.

Personal life
Following taking over as chairman of Thistle, Beattie was diagnosed with throat cancer. He stated that the club and the fans saw him through the cancer, which is now in remission. He is married and has 5 children. In 1991, Beattie was team captain on an episode of Channel 4's The Crystal Maze.

title: Vic Anselmo

text:
Vic Anselmo (born Viktorija Kukule; 21 March 1985, in Riga, Latvia) is a Latvian singer-songwriter who lives in Bochum, Germany. Starting out as a performer of gothic metal, Vic performed with her own band throughout her whole career amongst co-operations with several other musicians.

After she moved to Germany, Vic decided to adjust her performance to the singer-songwriter genre. Vic finds her inspiration for her self-written music in bands, artists and composers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Lisa Gerrard, Edvard Grieg, Queen, Alice in Chains, Tom Waits, and Devin Townsend. Her music accounts for the way to express her emotions by solely using her voice that is often referred to as "stunning". Her albums, with a wide range from sensitive ballads to shades of blues and folk, are often themed on her state of mind at that time. Her artist name is derived from the surname of Phil Anselmo, singer of the American metal band Pantera which she was a fan of in her youth.

Career
Throughout her career, Vic was also involved in several interesting co-operations with the likes of Mick Moss (Antimatter), Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering) and Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema) amongst others.

In 2006 she released a demo-CD named Beverly. Later she released two CD's Trapped in a Dream (2008) and In My Fragile (2011). The latter album was released by Danse Macabre Records after label head Bruno Kramm became interested in Anselmo's cover of "Das dunkle Land".

In 2011 she was the opening act for the dark wave band Deine Lakaien.

On 2 October 2015 her new album Who Disturbs The Water was released.

title: John Wheble

text:
John Wheble (2 February 1746 – 22 September 1820) was an English printer, author and antiquary.

Early life and apprenticeship
He was born in Gatcombe, Isle of Wight in 1746. He was twice married, leaving a widow. Wheble was apprenticed in 1756 to "the well known bookseller, and publisher", John Wilkie, whom he eventually succeeded.

Literary career
Wheble is most famous for his association with John Horne Tooke and John Wilkes, and the Society of Gentlemen Supporters of the Bill of Rights, having printed pamphlets for them, and publishing articles in "The Middlesex Journal" in their defence.

Matters came to a head on 21 February 1771 when the Speaker of the House of Commons summoned Wheble to Parliament to explain why he had printed a full account of debates in the house, which was at that time against the law. A proclamation for him to appear in Parliament was also made in the name of King George, with a reward of fifty pounds offered for his apprehension.

At this development Wilkes concocted a plan to have Wheble brought before him in his capacity as sitting Alderman / Magistrate by a mutual friend (Twine Carpenter), so that the Charges made by Parliament against Wheble could be dismissed. In his letter to the Secretary of State, Lord Halifax, Wilkes wrote "That Wheble had been apprehended in violation of the rights of an Englishman, as well as of the chartered privileges of a Citizen of London"

For his services in these affairs Wheble was granted 100 guineas by the Constitutional Society, and received the thanks of the Corporation of London.

He was the projector of "The Midlesex Journal" and "The County Chronicle," and with Mr Harris co-founded "The Sporting Magazine." He was a close friend of John Nichols, and a friend and mentor to artists such as William Ward, John Constable, Joseph Turner and John Higton.

Other achievements
Wheble held a Commission in the Commissariat, was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, was for 16 years a Councillor for the Ward of Farringdon in the City of London, and a Freeman of London and a member of the Stationers' Company.

title: Televisión Independiente de México

text:
Televisión Independiente de México (Independent Mexican Television, known on air as TIM or Cadena TIM) was a Mexican national television network founded in 1965 by Eugenio Garza Sada. It operated until 1973, when it merged with its primary competitor, Telesistema Mexicano, owned by Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta, to form the Televisa conglomerate. Televisa absorbed all of TIM's assets, including its television transmitters and its series, including pioneering programs such as El Chavo del Ocho.

History

1965-68: From Monterrey south
TIM was founded not in Mexico City, which was the largest media market in the country, but in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey, where Garza Sada already owned a brewery (Cervecería Cuauhtémoc, now part of Heineken) and a glass factory, among other assets. The goal of TIM was to provide an alternative to the television stations located in Mexico City, chiefly XEW-TV on channel 2, XHTV-TV on channel 4, and XHGC-TV on channel 5.

In Monterrey TIM received the channel 6 allocation, which it built as XET-TV. It then sought to enter other major Mexican markets before eventually targeting Mexico City, a task that had TIM building stations elsewhere. In Veracruz it built and signed on XHFM-TV channel 2, and in Puebla it created XHP-TV channel 3, placed midway between Veracruz and Mexico City. It was in Puebla that José Ramón Fernández, one of Mexico's pioneering sports journalists, got his start.

TIM finally entered Mexico City in 1967, in time for the 1968 Summer Olympics. In Mexico City, TIM received a concession for channel 8, which was given the callsign XHTM-TV. It built new facilities in the San Ángel neighborhood. TIM's entry into Mexico City put it into direct competition with Telesistema Mexicano, which had just been formed between Azcárraga, XHTV owner Romulo O'Farrill Jr., and the shares of the deceased Guillermo González Camarena (owner of XHGC), for viewers in the nation's capital.

1968-72: At war with Telesistema Mexicano
An intense war broke out between the two giants of Mexican television, the recently formed TIM against Telesistema, who held an iron grip on Mexico City television. During this era TIM produced series such as Los Polivoces, Juan Pirulero and El Chavo del Ocho, originally named after XHTM's channel position.

Merger and legacy
In 1972, Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta died. As Garza Sada could not see a way out of the brutal war, he began talking to Azcárraga's heir, Emilio Azcárraga Milmo. Eight months before Garza Sada's death in September 1973, the two merged, forming Televisión via Satélite, S.A. de C.V., a business later known as Televisa.

The XHTM-based television network was slowly dismantled, with the transmitters being used to broadcast Televisa's other national networks.

In 1985, the Mexican government sought to build a channel 7 in Mexico City under the auspices of Imevisión, which was given the callsign XHIMT-TV. In order to facilitate the additional station, a frequency and callsign change was conducted involving XHTM and Televisa's XEQ-TV channel 9 in Puebla. The end result was that the Mexico City station became XEQ-TV, channel 9. Meanwhile, XEX-TV channel 7 moved to channel 8, while the Puebla XEQ became XHTM-TV, a rebroadcaster of XEW-TV located on channel 10. XEQ was primarily available in Mexico City until Televisa received approval in 1993 to extend its reach with 62 new transmitters.

Significant competition in Mexican television would not return until the 1990s and the privatization of Imevisión into a new company, Televisión Azteca, which inherited Imevisión's channels 7 and 13.

title: Michael Dal Colle

text:
Michael Dal Colle (born June 20, 1996) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with Iserlohn Roosters in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). Dal Colle was selected by the New York Islanders in the first round (fifth overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Dal Colle was born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, but grew up in Vaughan, Ontario.

Playing career
Dal Colle was selected seventh overall in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection by the Oshawa Generals. He was rated as a top prospect prior to the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Dal Colle was recognized for his outstanding performance during the 2012–13 season when he was named to the OHL First All-Rookie Team. He also won a gold medal with Team Canada at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.

On September 28, 2014, the Islanders announced that they had signed Dal Colle to a three-year entry level contract. On January 1, 2016, Oshawa traded Dal Colle to the Kingston Frontenacs in exchange for Robbie Burt and four draft picks. At the conclusion of the OHL season, Dal Colle joined the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the Islanders American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.

Dal Colle began the 2017–18 season with the Sound Tigers after being cut from the Islanders training camp. Dal Colle was called up from the Sound Tigers on January 11 and made his NHL debut with the Islanders on January 13, 2018, against the New York Rangers.

Dal Colle attended the Islanders training camp prior to the 2018–19 season but was reassigned to the Sound Tigers. On January 3, 2019, Dal Colle and teammate Sebastian Aho were selected to represent the Sound Tigers at the AHL All-Star Classic. On January 17, 2019, Dal Colle scored his first NHL goal in a 4–1 Islanders' victory over the New Jersey Devils. He was reassigned to the Sound Tigers shortly thereafter only to be recalled again on an emergency basis on March 5, 2019. In his first game back, Dal Colle recorded an assist off Devon Toews' goal to help the Islanders win 5–4 over the Ottawa Senators. On March 8, Dal Colle's emergency recall status was changed to a regular recall. The Islanders re-signed Dal Colle on September 21, 2021.

After the 2021–22 season, Dal Colle was not re-signed by the Islanders, making him an unrestricted free agent. On September 15, 2022, Dal Colle signed a professional try-out with the Ottawa Senators. He was released from the tryout on October 1, 2022. With his options in North America limited, Dal Colle embarked on a career abroad, signing a one-year contract with Finnish club, HC TPS of the Liiga, on October 16, 2022. In the 2022–23 season, Dal Colle made 36 regular season appearances with TPS, adapting to the European size rink with 4 goals and 15 assists for 19 points.

Leaving TPS at the conclusion of the season, Dal Colle continued his career in Europe by signing a one-year contract with German club, Iserlohn Roosters of the DEL, on July 27, 2023.

Personal life
Dal Colle was raised in Vaughan, Ontario as the youngest of three children to Gus and Wendy Dal Colle, having an older brother, Jonluca, who is autistic, and a sister, Daniela, who played hockey at Niagara University. Dal Colle is of Italian descent from his paternal side, with his grandparents, Bruno and Gilda, emigrating from Verona, while his mother is of Irish descent.

Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST) is a general use controlled vocabulary based on the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). FAST is developed as a part of WorldCat by OCLC, Inc., with the goal of making subject cataloging less costly and easier to implement in online contexts. FAST headings separate topical data from non-topical data, such as information about a document's form, chronological coverage, or geographical coverage.

Unlike LCSH headings, which are pre-coordinated (multiple terms are linked together by the cataloger in a specific order, e.g. "United States -- History"), FAST headings are post-coordinated (terms are singly assigned, so the user can mix and match, e.g. "United States" and "History").

Use
OCLC has been developing FAST since 1998, and originally intended the system to describe Web resources in simple metadata schemata, particularly Dublin Core.
FAST separates headings into eight distinct facets: topical, geographic, personal name, corporate name, form, chronological, title as subject, and meeting name. Each facet can be mapped to a specific Dublin Core element. For example, the geographic facet can be mapped to the coverage element in the basic Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, and to the coverage.geographic element in qualified Dublin Core.

In keeping with Dublin Core's simplicity, FAST headings are meant to be "simple and easy to apply and to comprehend." To facilitate subject assignment, OCLC has developed a tool called assignFast. This tool uses an autocomplete feature to assist catalogers with the details of FAST headings.

OCLC has published FAST as linked data under an Open Data Commons Attribution (ODC-By) License.

Organisations using the FAST vocabulary include:
 Analysis & Policy Observatory
 British Library
 Harvard University
 Informit (Australia)
 National Library of New Zealand

The FAST Policy and Outreach Committee (FPOC) was established in 2018.

Details
The FAST authority file contains over 1,700,000 authority records.

Reception
FAST's chronological periods have been critiqued as making little sense outside the context of full LCSH.

An OCLC study showed that several libraries that had adopted FAST were impressed by its "ease of use, simple syntax, [and] suitability for use by non-specialist staff." However, several libraries in the same study were discouraged by a lack of communication with OCLC.

title: Primary Colours (Eddy Current Suppression Ring album)

text:
Primary Colours is the second album by Australian garage punk band Eddy Current Suppression Ring. The album was recorded in a suburb of Melbourne over a 24-hour period in August 2007. The album was first released on Aarght! Records in Australia only on 5 May 2008, then on 9 September 2008 on Goner Records in the United States, and finally in the United Kingdom on Melodic Records on 17 August 2009. "Which Way to Go" was the only single released from Primary Colours.

At the J Awards of 2008, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.

Primary Colours peaked at No. 13 on the ARIA Hitseekers Chart in June 2008. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the album's minimalistic sound and warm, personable lyrics. It won the Australian Music Prize in 2008, and was nominated for the ARIA Award that same year for best rock album, but lost to The Living End's entry, White Noise.

Background and recording
Eddy Current Suppression Ring formed in 2004, as a group of friends writing and performing songs together for fun. They decided to keep making their music when they discovered that other people liked it. The band recorded their first song as a trio, at a vinyl pressing plant where Eddy Current (real name Mikey Young) was working at the time. After they took a liking to the resulting song, they recruited Rob Solid (real name Brad Barry) to play bass guitar. The group recorded their debut self-titled album in four hours in a rehearsal studio, and released it in 2006 on the Australian label Dropkick Records.

They recorded Primary Colours over the night of 3 August 2007 and part of the following day, in the Melbourne suburb of South Yarra on an 8-track, a form of multi-track recording. The process of recording it took 24 hours and cost $1500. The day after recording finished, the band and their engineer, Lachlan Wooden, added overdubs to the ten tracks. After recording, Eddy Current Suppression Ring toured the US for three weeks, after which Eddy Current, the band's guitarist, mixed the album during November and December 2007. The four members self-produced Primary Colours.

Eddy Current Suppression Ring's lead singer, Brendan Suppression (real name Brendan Huntley), explained the choice of Primary Colours as its title, saying that the band chose it because they "believe...that something beautiful can be made through simple colours or notes or lyrics". In an interview with The Age, Suppression also said that Primary Colourss title refers to the way that everything is made up of a combination of simple things, as all colours are made by combining primary colours.

Primary Colours was originally released in Australia on 5 May 2008 on Eddy Current Suppression Ring's own label, Aarght! Records, before being issued on 9 September 2008 in the United States on Goner Records. In Australia it was distributed by Shock Records. "Which Way to Go" was released as the only single. The following year, on 17 August, Primary Colours was re-released on Melodic Records in the United Kingdom, in conjunction with the band's eponymous debut album. On this release, the album's title was stylised with a "+" symbol at the end, with Primary Colours denoted as "CD1". Primary Colours was originally presented in one of three different album covers – one red, one yellow, and one blue.

Music and lyrics
The lyrics on Primary Colours often focus on mundane topics pertaining to the lives of ordinary people, including watching TV and eating ice cream, while its music often features shredding power chords. According to The Washington Posts Chris Richards, the music represents a new, gentler type of punk rock in the vein of No Age and Abe Vigoda. Richards also wrote that Suppression "[keeps] these upbeat rock tunes from becoming too saccharine with a nervy delivery that's part David Byrne, part Iggy Pop". A similar sentiment was expressed by David Bevan of Pitchfork Media, who wrote "there's a softening of edges taking place throughout, a band testing limits after having already refined them". He also described it as an "artfully polished extension of its predecessor". Current described the album as "a bit more '82ish than the '76ish sound of our first LP, slightly less frantic and maybe a bit more palatable".

The album's opening track, "Memory Lane", begins with guitar chopping described by Emily Mackay as "Stones-meets-Stooges rifforama". The second track on the album, "Sunday's Coming," is an "all-out skronkfest" featuring "whiplash guitars" and "so-nonchalant-they’re-muffled vocals". "Wrapped Up" contains "ribbons of guitar melody" matched with an "equally warm refrain". "Colour Television" consists of "five minutes of unhurried, snaky buildups" resembling the sound of The Pixies and Future of the Left. "That's Inside of Me" is a "Feelies-esque instrumental" with a "herky-jerky funk groove". The "glumly confessional" "I Admit My Faults" focuses on the same mood for its entire duration. "Which Way to Go", the album's single, begins with heavy riffage, then segues to the verse, then the chorus, then repeats from the beginning. The song's "sharp riffs, fiery speak-sing vocals and constant forward momentum" exemplify the band's typical sound. "You Let Me Be Honest with You" is centred on a lead guitar solo from Current. "We'll Be Turned On" sees Eddy Current Suppression Ring using an organ, and Suppression making an especially "goofy turn". "I Don't Wanna Play No More" features a single-note piano riff that recalls "I Wanna Be Your Dog".

Reception

Primary Colours received generally positive critical reception, so much so that Eddy Current Suppression Ring's front man, Current, remarked that it was "weird" because he didn't "know if anyone's said a bad word about it". Bevan awarded Primary Colours a rating of 8.2 out of 10. Robert Christgau gave the album a rating of A−, which, according to him, corresponds to "the kind of garden-variety good record that is the great luxury of musical micromarketing and overproduction". He also wrote that they do "the same thing punk bands have always done" and described the album as a "recurring miracle." Chris Richards compared the album to many early punk and post-punk bands such as "a breezier Stooges" or "The Fall with less squall". He concluded that the album was "the most righteous rock-and-roll moment of 2008". A more mixed review written by Emily Mackay awarded Primary Colours a rating of 7 out of 10 and criticised it for its lack of originality.

Many critics also praised Current's guitar work on the album, with Richards writing that his riffs "come ripping from his amplifier like sunbeams through a smog of distortion". Writing for Spin, Chuck Eddy wrote that Current's guitar chords "soar Byrds-like or surf Ventures-like out of melodic stomps that seem basic, but aren't". K. Ross Hoffman, writing for Allmusic, praised the song "Wrapped Up" for its "strong, slinky riff", while Bevan praised it for the way it "runs along some really beautiful ribbons of guitar melody".

Accolades and commercial performance
On 20 March 2009, Primary Colours won the $30,000 Australian Music Prize for the previous year, defeating eight other nominees, including Cut Copy and the Presets. Eddy Current Suppression Ring told Triple J that they didn't expect their recording plans to change significantly as a result of the win, but that they might be able to do them more quickly. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2008, it was nominated in the category "Best Rock Album", but lost to The Living End's entry, White Noise. Current described this nomination as "nice, but mainly hilarious".

Primary Colours was featured on several critics' year-end lists, including the 2008 Pazz & Jop (No. 73), the Washington Posts David Malitz's top 10 albums of 2008 (No. 5), and The Guardians 2009 critics' poll (No. 28). Primary Colours peaked at No. 13 on the ARIA Hitseekers Chart on 2 June 2008.

title: Hard Choices

text:
Hard Choices is a memoir of former United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, published by Simon & Schuster in 2014, giving her account of her tenure in that position from 2009 to 2013. It also discusses some personal aspects of her life and career, including her feelings towards President Barack Obama following her 2008 presidential campaign loss to him. It is generally supportive of decisions made by the Obama administration.

The book was promoted partly in light of the possibility of a Clinton bid in the 2016 presidential election (in which, two years after the release of the book, she would go on to win the Democratic nomination and then lose to Donald Trump in the general election).  Excerpts from the book were released in advance of its publication. Clinton staged an extensive promotional tour for the book, which had the air of a political campaign with groups both for and against her appearing at book-signing events.  Hard Choices reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List, but sold considerably less than her 2003 memoir, Living History.  Interpreting what sales of the book meant for her possible political future became a subject for discussion among interested parties.

Conception and development
Clinton's last day as Secretary of State was February 1, 2013.  As she departed from office, she indicated she was unsure of her future plans but that they did include writing another memoir to follow Living History.

On April 4, 2013, Simon & Schuster, her previous publisher, announced that Clinton had signed with them for this new work, with a target publication date of June 2014.  Lawyer Robert Barnett handled the negotiations from Clinton's side; the financial terms of any advance or royalties were not publicly disclosed. The New York Post reported "industry speculation" as saying that her advance could be as high as $14 million. Although not confirmed, that figure has been repeated by some other news sources.  From the beginning, the book was partly seen in the light of a possible Clinton bid for the 2016 presidential election.

Clinton was assisted in writing the book by three aides credited in the Acknowledgements section as her "book team", two former State Department assistants, speechwriter Dan Schwerin and researcher Ethan Gelber, and Ted Widmer, a speechwriter in the Bill Clinton administration.    The first draft of the manuscript was three times its final length. Clinton later said that the writing process had been "terrific" overall, but that "some days were off-the-charts wonderful and some days were not-even-on-the-charts terrible."

During April 2014, the official publication date of the book was announced as June 10, 2014, and the title of the book was revealed as Hard Choices about a week later.

Themes of the book
The book contained 635 pages of numbered text, accompanied by three sections of plates containing a total of 100 colored photographs.

In the book, Clinton frames the foreign policy situations encountered during her tenure as a series of hard choices, especially those involving the Middle East and the Arab Spring, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Russia.  Special attention is given to the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 and her relations with Egyptian President and longtime personal friend Hosni Mubarak.

Clinton sometimes delves into disagreements within the Obama administration and where she stood, such as her losing the argument to arm moderate elements of the Syrian opposition. In many other cases, however, she does not, saying such discussions "will remain private to honor the code of confidentiality that should exist between a president and his Secretary of State, especially while he is still in office."

A chapter of the book dealing with the 2012 Benghazi attack – in which the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked, resulting in the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to that country, J. Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans – was leaked to Politico.  It reiterates the explanations for what happened that Clinton and her supporters had previously made.

Clinton also delves into some personal aspects of her life and career, including getting past any hard feelings towards Obama from her 2008 presidential campaign, events in her family including her daughter Chelsea Clinton's wedding, and glimpses of personal interaction with citizens of other countries during her travels as secretary.  The book also addresses the disappointment of her 2008 loss, and for the first time fully recants her 2002 vote on the Iraq War Resolution that cost her in that campaign, writing that "I thought I had acted in good faith and made the best decision I could with the information I had. And I wasn't alone in getting it wrong. But I still got it wrong. Plain and simple."

The book concludes with some general thoughts about her visions for America going forward,  but it shed no light on whether she would run for president in 2016, saying only, "[t]he time for another hard choice will come soon."

Promotional efforts
Excerpts of the books came out early.  The first was in early May 2014, when Vogue published an excerpt in celebration of Mother's Day that was about and dedicated to Clinton's mother Dorothy Rodham, who had died during Clinton's time as secretary.  Simon & Schuster released an Author's Note explaining some of Clinton's perspectives on the book.  A video appeared on the book's Facebook page the following day.  A cover appearance on People magazine was also made to promote the book.

Later, the chapter of the book dealing with the Benghazi attack was leaked to Politico.  Observers suspected this was done to get news about it out of the way early so it would not dominate later coverage of the book as a whole. Shortly before the book's publication date, a passage that dealt with the now-repatriated soldier Bowe Bergdahl was made public as well.  The promotional book roll-out was staffed by veterans of political campaigns and political communications efforts, rather than the publicists who usually conduct such efforts.

There was competition among top news anchors and interviewers to get the first interviews with Clinton about the book.  In the end, Clinton sat down with several of them; the first went to ABC News' Diane Sawyer and aired on June 9.  The interviews themselves sometimes made news on topics unrelated to those covered by the book, such as Clinton's description to Sawyer of her and Bill's financial state as they left the White House ("dead broke") and an exchange with NPR's Terry Gross on Clinton's evolving views on same-sex marriage.  A later, unannounced appearance on The Colbert Report earned her some positive notices for a comic touch in her mock exchanges with host Stephen Colbert.

A promotional book tour in the United States and Canada began on June 10 with a book signing at a Barnes & Noble store in New York that attracted over a thousand people.  Other events, sometimes multiple per day, included a public discussion forum in Chicago with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former Clinton administration aide.  When signing books, she just wrote "Hillary"; no signing of personal items or extra messages were allowed.  Clinton's longtime aide Huma Abedin was in charge of managing each event.

The tour events had the air of campaign stops. Each brought considerable local media attention.  The independent SuperPAC known as Ready for Hillary parked a "Hillary Bus" nearby and handed out stickers and posters and signed up volunteers.  She herself has never gone on the bus; The Washington Post described it as "a campaign bus before there is even a campaign".

Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee had an intern go around greeting attendees in a large orange squirrel suit.  It wore a shirt with the message "Another Clinton in the White House is Nuts" and was accompanied by other staffers handing out sheets with anti-Clinton talking points.  During one promotional appearance in Washington, D.C., Clinton went up to the orange figure and said, "Hello, Mr. Squirrel, how are you? I wanted you to get you a copy of my book," adding, "you bring a smile to a lot of people's faces." The copy she gave the squirrel was inscribed, "Squirrel – Please make a hard choice and read my book! Hillary".

In early July, Clinton went to Europe to stage promotional appearances for the book, visiting England, Germany, and France.  Book signings back in the U.S. continued for the rest of that month.  The length of the promotional tour recalled her heavy travel schedule as Secretary of State, and largely put to rest questions about her health that had circulated among some since her concussion and blood clot treatment in late 2012.  While the appearances and the news coverage of some of her statements during the tour exposed some of Clinton's strengths and weaknesses as a public figure, they did not change Clinton's poll approval numbers.

Critical and commercial reception
Initial reviews for Hard Choices were generally mixed to favorable.

Writing for The New York Times, longtime book critic Michiko Kakutani said that the volume is better than Clinton's previous memoir and that Hard Choices "turns out to be a subtle, finely calibrated work that provides a portrait of the former secretary of state and former first lady as a heavy-duty policy wonk."  David Ignatius, writing in The Washington Post, said the memoir "begins and ends in the empty voice of a campaign speech. But in between, it contains a clear and at times riveting account of Hillary Rodham Clinton's four years as secretary of state."  Robin Abcarian of the Los Angeles Times assessed it as "a richly detailed and compelling chronicle of Clinton's role in the foreign initiatives and crises that defined the first term of the Obama administration ... told from the point of view of a policy wonk."

John Dickerson of Slate magazine characterized it as "a risk-free telling of Clinton's world travels" and compared it unfavorably to Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War, the recent account by Robert Gates, Clinton's cabinet colleague as Secretary of Defense.  Dickerson added, "Clinton's account is the low-salt, low-fat, low-calorie offering with vanilla pudding as the dessert. She goes on at great length, but not great depth."  Michael Scherer of Time magazine declared, "This is a campaign book, written by a candidate (via her speechwriters), processed through a political machine, and delivered to the public with the contradictory goals of depicting the author as a decisive leader and not betraying any evidence of leadership that would turn a voter off."  Ed Pilkington of The Guardian wrote that it was a less overt campaign manifesto than Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope had been in 2006, but "still manages to adroitly position Clinton for a 2016 presidential bid."  Peter Baker of the New York Times Book Review compared it somewhat unfavorably with former State Secretary Dean Acheson's 1969 memoir, Present at the Creation: My Years in the State Department, concluding his review by alluding to Clinton's possible presidential aspirations by saying that "Acheson won a Pulitzer Prize for his memoir. Clinton seems to have a bigger prize in mind."

By the time of the book's publication, it was said to have already received one million pre-orders.  In actuality, Simon & Schuster said that it during its first week on sale, it sold over 100,000 copies, a figure supported by extrapolation of the underlying Nielsen BookScan data.  It debuted at first on the New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover nonfiction.  During its second and third weeks of availability, sales of Hard Choices declined markedly, but were still enough to keep it atop the Times Best Sellers list.  In the fourth week, sales declined again and the book surrendered the top spot on the Times Best Sellers list to Edward Klein's Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. the Obamas, a lurid and lightly sourced account of purported rivalries between the two couples and within each marriage.  By this point, Hard Choices had sold some 177,000 physical copies.  By the end of July, the book had sold about 250,000 copies overall, including an estimate for e-book sales.  In all, it spent twelve weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list, nine of them in the top five.

Whether sales for the book were living up to expectations, or indicated a lack of public interest in hearing from Clinton, became an immediate subject for public relations and political spin from interested parties.  Its sales were better than those of memoirs by other former members of the Obama administration, but were considerably less than they had been in the comparable period for Clinton's first memoir Living History.  The publisher explained this as partly due to the differing contents of the two memoirs and partly due to the declining market for physical, nonfiction books over the decade between the two.  In any case, Simon & Schuster was unlikely to make back Clinton's advance or to sell all the copies it had shipped. Politico termed the book's sales "a solid figure in a depleted publishing industry but far from the juggernaut her backers hoped for."

The book continued to accumulate sales into the year following its publication.  By March 2015, Nielsen BookScan had it selling 264,000 copies, and figure that rose to 280,000 copies by July 2015 and 292,200 copies by March 2016.   By mid-2015, Clinton had earned more than $5 million in royalties from the book.  Compared to recent books published by the many 2016 Republican presidential candidates, her sales were well short of Ben Carson's One Nation: What We Can All Do To Save America's Future, but were well ahead of those of any of the others, with only the combined sales of a pair of books by Donald Trump coming close.  By late November 2015, counting both print and e-books, Time magazine said Hard Choices had sold a little over 340,000 units.

Foreign editions and translations

Simon & Schuster viewed international and foreign language sales as key to the book's potential for success.  On its initial release date of June 10, it was published in Canada, Great Britain, Australia, India, Germany, the Netherlands, and France.  A Spanish language translation, Decisiones difíciles, was released on June 24 in the U.S.  Altogether, foreign rights to the book were sold in sixteen countries.

While also available in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Hard Choices was effectively banned in mainland China as publishers there declined to purchase either the translation or English-language distribution rights for the book. Although Chinese publishers did not offer a specific reason for declining to buy the book, Simon & Schuster asserted that the ban was politically motivated as import agencies and publishers were fearful of retaliation by the Chinese government for printing material that was too politically sensitive, such as the chapter-length coverage of Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng and Clinton's generally critical comments about the Chinese government.

Paperback version
The paperback version of Hard Choices followed the hardcover and was released on April 28, 2015, two weeks after the announcement of her 2016 presidential campaign. The new epilogue from the paperback edition, titled "A New Chapter", was initially published by The Huffington Post by Clinton on April 10. The paperback version also has a new cover, in color, in which Clinton is angled away from the camera, turning her head and smiling slightly, while dressed in a blue, collared shirt and wearing bold silver earrings.

title: List of Volvo Trucks engines

text:
Volvo Trucks have built a number of engines, beginning in the late 1920s. In the 2010s, they have also begun using engines developed by Germany's Deutz AG. They were one of the first companies to use turbodiesel engines in commercially successful trucks.

B36

The Volvo B36 is a four-stroke, cast-iron 90 degree petrol V8 introduced in 1952. It develops  at 4000 rpm and  at 2200 rpm. The engine weighs  and displaces 3.56 liters. The two-port Carter carburetor and intake are located between the cylinder banks. The crossflow heads are of a cast iron alloy, while the five-bearing camshaft is of a case-hardened steel alloy. The engine is often said to be a twinned B18 four-cylinder, but in reality only some parts in the valve train are interchangeable between the two engines.

This engine was used in the Volvo L420 Snabbe truck, amongst others. It had been developed by Volvo for a planned luxury automobile called Volvo Philip in the early 1950s, when this project was cancelled it was installed in a truck instead. Due to excessive thirst, diesel engines soon became available in this range of trucks. The B36 was discontinued in 1973, although it had no longer been used in trucks after 1966. It was the last petrol truck engine built by Volvo, and the only V8 engine in any vehicle except for the newer Yamaha built unit used in XC90 and S80.

A marine version was available, the Volvo Penta AQ180 boasting 180 hp with twin carburetors.

Volvo originally lacked the resources to develop their own diesel engines. To fill the gap, the 3610 cc 4D "Dorset" OHV diesel inline-four engine built by Ford for their Fordson Major tractor was used, beginning in 1963. It was installed in the Volvo 425 (Snabbe) and the 435 (Trygge) until 1966, when a more powerful Perkins unit replaced it. The so-called D36 only has .

A 3869 cc OHV diesel inline-four engine from Perkins Engines was used by Volvo from late 1966 (Perkins 4.236), installed in the F82 and F83 (renamed models of the "Snabbe" and "Trygge"). It was eventually replaced by Volvo's own range of diesel engines. Labelled the D39 by Volvo, it has .

title: Chichele Lectures

text:
The Chichele Lectures are a series of lectures sponsored by All Souls College, Oxford and are an example of the college's use of its income for the general benefit of the University of Oxford. Henry Chichele was the founder of All Souls.

History
The series began formally in 1912, but the idea that All Souls College, Oxford might sponsor an independent series of academic lectures can be dated back to 1873, or even earlier. The college had already started to establish a series of professorships, the Chichele Professorships, beginning with the first two in 1859 and 1862, who delivered their own courses of "Chichele lectures". This series of lectures, separate from the professorships, can be traced to a proposal made in 1873 by Thomas Ryburn Buchanan that the  college invite a distinguished foreign professor to lecture.  He later withdrew his suggestion in the face of competing ideas. But on 1 June 1909, a proposal was approved that the college would set aside £300 for three "Chichele Lectures" in foreign history, along the lines of the already established Ford Lectures.  The first lecture was held in 1912. In 1919, the College widened the lecture to include law, political theory, or economic, as well as foreign and British history. Nevertheless, the lectureship was dormant from 1920 until it was revived again briefly in 1933, but was dormant again until 1947.  In recent years,  lectures have been given by several lecturers on a common theme as well as continuing the tradition of having a single lecturer.  The lectures have normally been given in the Old Library at All Souls, but in 1959 it was moved for the first time to accommodate the great crowd drawn by Field Marshall Montgomery.

title: Japanese invasion of Sakhalin

text:
The invasion of Sakhalin was the last land battle of the Russo-Japanese War, and took place from 7 July to 31 July 1905.

Background
The invasion and occupation of the island of Sakhalin had been considered by the Japanese government from the early stages of the Russo-Japanese War, and the plan was actively promoted by General Nagaoka Gaishi, a senior member of the Imperial General Headquarters. However, the plan was vetoed, primarily due to opposition by the Imperial Japanese Navy.

On 7 June 1905, shortly after the Battle of Tsushima, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt met with Japanese diplomat Kaneko Kentarō and the issue was reconsidered. Roosevelt agreed with the Japanese assessment that the invasion and occupation of Sakhalin was now necessary, as only the threat of direct loss of Russian territory would bring Tsar Nicholas II to consider a negotiated settlement to the war.

Japan and Russia had previously shared ownership of Sakhalin; however, the Japanese relinquished their claims in the 1875 Treaty of Saint Petersburg in exchange for undisputed sovereignty over all of the Kuril Islands. By 1904, Sakhalin had an estimated 30,000 inhabitants, including around 4,000 Ainu. The island was used as a prison and a place of exile for political dissidents, and did not figure prominently in Russian strategic plans. The island was noted for its harsh climate, isolation, and the high level of corruption of its ruling bureaucrats, and consequently little investment was made in its defence.

The Imperial Russian Army had a garrison on Sakhalin with a nominal strength of 7,280 men. However, many of these men were conscripted farmers, hunters, or political prisoners with minimal training or equipment. Russian General Mikhail Nikolaevich Lyapunov had been a lawyer before the war, and had limited formal military training.

The Imperial Japanese Army invasion force consisted of 14,000 men of the newly formed IJA 13th Division under General Haraguchi Kensai, supported by a naval force led by Admiral Kataoka Shichirō, consisting of four armored cruisers (under Vice Admiral Dewa Shigetō), four protected cruisers (under Rear Admiral Tōgō Masamichi), four coastal defense ships, nine destroyers and twelve torpedo boats.

The battle
The Japanese force commenced landing operations on 7 July 1905, with the main force landing between Aniva and Korsakov without opposition, and a second landing party nearer to Korsakov itself, where it destroyed a battery of field artillery after short combat. The Japanese moved on to occupy Korsakov on 8 July, which was set on fire by the retreating Russian garrison after having been defended for 17 hours by 2,000 men led by Colonel . The Japanese moved north, taking the village of Vladimirovka (present-day Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk) on 10 July, the same day that a new Japanese detachment landed at Cape Notoro. Colonel Arciszewski dug in to resist the Japanese, but was outflanked and forced to flee into the mountainous interior of the island. He surrendered with his remaining men on 16 July. About 200 Russians were captured while the Japanese suffered 18 dead and 58 wounded.

On 24 July, the Japanese landed in northern Sakhalin near Alexandrovsk-Sakhalinski. In northern Sakhalin, the Russians had about 5,000 troops under the direct command of General Lyapunov. Because of the numerical and material superiority of the Japanese, the Russians withdrew from the city and surrendered a few days later on 31 July 1905.

Results
The Japanese occupied Sakhalin with minimal effort and low losses. The Russians suffered 181 dead and had 3,270 taken prisoner. The reasons for the low Russian resistance lay in the low morale of the soldiers, who were mostly prisoners and deportees with little or no military training. Per the terms of the Treaty of Portsmouth ending the Russo-Japanese War, the southern half of Sakhalin was ceded to Japan, with the 50th parallel north as the boundary line, becoming Karafuto Prefecture.

title: Burritt on the Mountain

text:
Burritt on the Mountain is an open-air museum in Huntsville, Alabama.  The museum grounds on Round Top Mountain, a plateau connected to Monte Sano Mountain, were the estate of local physician William Burritt, who willed his house and land to the city for use as a museum upon his death in 1955.  A number of 19th-century rural structures have been added to Burritt's mansion, both in the interest of historical preservation and life re-enactment.

History
William Henry Burritt was born in Huntsville in 1869.  A great-great-grandson of Rev. Blackleach Burritt, he followed in his father, grandfather's and great-grandfather's footsteps, becoming a physician and set up practice in 1891.  In 1900 he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, with his second wife.  There he became involved in managing farming, logging, and mining operations, and in rubber production, where he received 22 patents for his tire inventions.  Burritt returned to Huntsville after his wife's death in 1934 and designed an eccentric mansion surrounded by 167 acres (68 ha) where he would farm and raise goats in his retirement.  In addition to eclectic decorative design, the house featured straw insulation, inspired by a visit on a hot day to a Missouri farm.  On June 6, 1936, the day Burritt moved into the mansion, it burned to the ground due to an electrical fire, exacerbated by the straw insulation and its protective metal panels.  The mansion was rebuilt, and Burritt lived there until his death in 1955.

Having no heirs, Burritt donated his house and property to the city for the purpose of establishing a museum.  The museum began purchasing rural log houses and barns that were in danger of demolition and relocating them to the grounds.  Three structures were moved to the museum between 1964 and 1974.  The park is divided into two areas: 1850 and 1900, with buildings, furniture, and tools from each time period.  Today, twelve 19th century structures have been fully restored and are part of the museum.

Exhibits
Major 19th-century buildings in the historic park include the Balch House, originally built in 1887 near Harvest; the Chandler House, a dogtrot house from Lester in Limestone County; an 1884 church that originally stood in downtown Madison; the Meals House, an 1845 cabin from near Lester; the Smith-Williams House, an 1868 marriage of two 1840s structures originally from McKay Hollow at the foot of Monte Sano; and an 1890s barn from near Minor Hill, Tennessee.  The museum also features two buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Burritt Mansion, and the Joel Eddins House.  Non-historic structures include a welcome center, administrative building, a replica of a four-room Rosenwald school, and an events center designed to look like the demolished Hotel Monte Sano.

William Burritt Mansion

The Burritt Mansion has a two-story, octagonal main section with 4 one-story wings forming an X shape.  Off the rear of the house on the east end is a conservatory.  The exterior walls are covered in grey asbestos shingles, mimicking a stone construction.  All of the roofs, except the pedimented portico, are flat and hidden by a stepped parapet topped with concrete caps.  The two-story main entry portico is supported by two fluted Doric columns.  The front door is in a Federal Style with sidelights and topped with a fanlight.  The second story of the portico features a small balcony.  On the face of the pediment, a panel reads "1935", the construction date of the original house.  A terrace runs the length of the front of the house.  Small porches with entries similar to the main entry are between the wings on the south and north sides of the house.  Windows on the first floor are casements with eight panes on each side and eight panes in a transom-like panel above.  The house has chimneys at the ends of the north, south, and west wings, and two interior chimneys in the north wing and in the center of the main block.

The main entry opens into a hall containing a spiral staircase.  The west wing (off the entry hall to the left) is a large parlor, while the south wing (to the right) is the master suite, consisting of a study and bedroom.  The northeastern part of the main block is a dining room, off of which the north wing contains the kitchen and a bedroom, and the east wing contains a sitting room and a bedroom.  Upstairs, an observatory room sits on the front of the house, with a view of the city below, and behind it are a bedroom and small kitchen.  Many of the rooms have been converted into gallery space which host rotating exhibits, usually historical and cultural topics relating to North Alabama.  The house was listed on the National Register in 1992.

Joel Eddins House

The Eddins House was built in 1810 near Ardmore in Limestone County.  The -story hall and parlor log home was moved to Burritt in 2007.  The house was listed on the National Register in 1996.

title: Onecept

text:
Onecept is an album by saxophonist David S. Ware which was recorded in 2009 and released on the AUM Fidelity label.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek said "Ware's development as a player is no longer reliant on his physicality -- though he still possesses it in abundance. Rather, it's his centering on that collective voice, which offers so many dimensions and textures to explore, where he expresses his creativity and mastery of his horns. Onecept is an exciting next step in Ware's musical evolution". PopMatters review stated "these nine songs are the rare glimpse of three jazz musicians lifting the sound way above their heads and pushing it through the ceiling. It’s almost a stretch to call it jazz. It’s just…music".

The All About Jazz review noted "Even after half a century playing the saxophone, for Ware the journey continues—and his cohorts are right there with him". The JazzTimes review by Michael J. West commented "David S. Ware could never be accused of following trends. If saxophone-led trios are all the rage, his release of a sax/bass/drums album feels coincidental. Either way, though, Onecept is among the best of that recent lot".

"Mantra" begins with a "wailing Middle Eastern introduction",  an ambient drone played by Shankar on electric violin, and is then propelled by tandem tablas of Zakir Hussain and Trilok Gurtu.

It was issued as a 12" and CD single in 1993 (Axiom / Island, AXMCD1) featuring the 17 minute "Praying Mantra Mix" by The Orb, the album's 8 minute "Doors of Perception Mix", and a 5-minute edit.

title: Donald A. McDonald

text:
Donald Alexander McDonald (January 1, 1833 - February 11, 1906) was a steamboat owner and lumberman from La Crosse, Wisconsin, who served in both houses of the state legislature as well as being a candidate for mayor of that city.

Background
McDonald was born in Gairloch in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, on January 1, 1833. In June 1844 he moved with his family to Dundas, Canada West. There he received an academic education in the common schools until 1853, when he moved to nearby Hamilton.

In Wisconsin
In 1855 he moved to Wisconsin and settled in Trempealeau where he went into the lumbering business, and remained for some time. He moved to La Crosse in 1869 where he engaged in lumbering and the operating of steamboats.

In 1873 McDonald, who had held various education-related local offices, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly from La Crosse County as a member of the Liberal Reform Party (a recently formed  coalition of Democrats, reform and Liberal Republicans, and Grangers  which secured the election of one Governor of Wisconsin and a number of state legislators) for a one-year term, with 1866 votes to 1740 for Republican R. M. Mooer. He was assigned to the standing committees on railroads and on enrolled bills. In 1874, he was defeated as the Liberal Reform candidate for the Senate's 31st District by Republican Sylvester Nevins, who won by 74 votes (1926 to 1852).

He remained in the lumber and steamboat businesses, and also traded in groceries, in large part to supply his own boats, shanties and so forth. In March 1882, he was granted a patent for an improved method of connected boats towing other watercraft, to improve steering and facilitate sharp turns.

In 1882, he was elected as a Democrat (the Reform Party having collapsed in the late 1870s) to the Senate seat he'd sought earlier, with 2853 votes to 1618 for former Republican Assemblyman John Brindley and 231 for Prohibitionist John James (Republican incumbent Merrick Wing was not a candidate). He would serve on the standing committee on privileges and elections.

In 1885, when eccentric local physician David Franklin Powell ran for mayor of La Crosse, McDonald (who had long been influential in La Crosse business circles) was tapped as the Democratic nominee for mayor. Powell outpolled McDonald by over 250 votes, although McDonald did better than the Republican candidate.

He was not a candidate for re-election in 1886, and was succeeded by Republican Thomas Dyson.

Personal life
He married Anna Black Beers, with whom he would have four children. He died on February 11, 1906, in La Crosse.

HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton is a 2014 book by two Washington-based reporters, Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen, about the tenure of Hillary Rodham Clinton (hence the 'HRC' of the title) as United States Secretary of State and about how she recovered politically from her loss in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries.

The book was particularly noted by the media for saying that Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, compiled a "hit list" of individuals who were viewed as having had been unhelpful during her 2008 presidential campaign.

In 2017 the same authors published Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign, about Clinton's loss in the 2016 United States presidential election.

The list
Parnes and Allen claim the hit list was created so that "Friends could be rewarded, and enemies punished". In the last days of Clinton's 2008 campaign many became convinced that she had failed in part because of the lack of support from those that the Clintons, especially Bill Clinton, had helped in the past. Staff compiled a list of Democratic Party politicians and figures who had remained true and those who had turned against them. Listed persons were ranked from 1 to 7, with 7 being reserved for those perceived to be the greatest betrayers. Examples of politicians the book claims were considered by the Clinton campaign to be the most egregious offenders are Claire McCaskill, John Kerry, and Jason Altmire.

Reception
Media took interest in the "enemies list," but reviews of the book were largely negative, criticizing it as overly praiseful of Clinton  with few new insights. Jodi Kantor of The New York Times wrote: "Their Clinton is the stock version, Democratic edition: gracious in defeat and fearless in negotiation, almost perfectly in sync with Obama, rarely making wrong bets despite choices of bewildering complexity."
