title: St. Johns City Hall

text:
St. Johns City Hall is a neo-Georgian style municipal building located adjacent to the east end of the St. Johns Bridge in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Constructed in 1907 by Youngferdorf & Son the building was the city hall for St. Johns, Oregon. After Portland annexed St. Johns in 1915, the building was turned over to city officials who designated it as the Portland Police Bureau's North Precinct until 2009. It now houses the Police Bureau's Traffic Division.

History

City of St. Johns (1905–1915)
By 1905, the St. Johns City Council was planning to build a new city hall building. In January 1906, amid financial woes, the city was facing the prospect of selling of their land for which they intended to erect the new municipal building. The land was purchased by Charles Olhouse for $3,500 ($ adjusted for inflation). By January, with one month remaining on their payment deadline, the council had only put-up $200 ($ adjusted for inflation) total. M. L. Holbrook gave the town $2,000 ($ adjusted for inflation) and W. M. Killingsworth contributed $1,000 ($ adjusted for inflation) to the project with the promise that it would be returned in due time. One member of the city council who was adamant in his disapproval of the proposed city hall was Alderman S. C. Norton, who claimed the council was purposely misleading the public and acting against their will. Norton claimed that the proposed $10,000 ($ adjusted for inflation) to build a new city hall was a made-up figure. Ultimately a $7,953 ($ adjusted for inflation) contract was granted to Youngferdorf & Son, who would be responsible for the building's foundation, outside and inside walls, roof, gas piping, and flooring.

The city hall contract was to be completed in just two months, November and December 1906. But Youngfedorf & Son failed to meet the deadline, causing the city to step in and take over the operation. The contractors were paid just $2,000 ($ adjusted for inflation), with $800 ($ adjusted for inflation) worth of work to still be done on the building. This alarmed Alderman S. C. Norton, who said there was a "conspiracy" between the contractors and Alderman, and hoped to get to the bottom of it. Norton sharply questioned City Recorder Thorndyke about the haste placed on the construction of the building. He and City Attorney Green, as well as councilmen W. H. King, felt that Norton was grasping at straws. The building's architect, W. W. Goodrich, explained in a letter to the council that the contract was not completed due to poor weather and failed shipments. Eventually, Goodrich won the favor of Mayor Hinman, who called for the contact be restored to Youngfedorf & Son.

A week later the architect was dead. Goodrich's son took the project over. It was scheduled to be completed and ready for use by July 1, 1907. The two-story brick building on concrete foundation had offices for the mayor, city recorder, city attorney, chief of police and the fire department, as well as a gymnasium and a records room on the first floor. The second floor had the council's chambers which encompassed most of the floor. Smaller rooms were also on the second floor, to be used as committee and jury rooms. The basement featured jail cells.

After it was voted that St. Johns would be annexed into the City of Portland the mayor of St. Johns made his final order, that the prison's lone inmate be freed. The keys were turned over to Portland officials on July 8, 1915, along with $292.69 ($ adjusted for inflation) from the treasury. It was noted that there was a balance of $6019.10 ($ adjusted for inflation) on the books just a week prior, prompting Portland officials to launch an investigation.

City of Portland (1915–present)
After St. Johns was annexed in 1915, the City of Portland used the building to house members of Portland Fire & Rescue and the Portland Police Bureau. In 1954, a new fire station was built in St. Johns leaving the police as the lone tenant in the city hall. In 1976, the building was temporarily closed for improvements which was a part of an urban renewal plan spearheaded by mayor Neil Goldschmidt. In the late 1970s, the Portland Police Bureau allowed the St. John Booster Club to use the conference room. Plans to close the precinct were announced in 1994, but canceled at the urging of St. Johns residents and mayor Vera Katz. Budget cuts forecasted the need to close the building in 1997, but again mayor Katz led the effort to save the precinct which was ultimately successful. It was again defended by Katz during 2002 budget cuts. By 2007, the Portland Police Bureau lowest volume of calls came from the north precinct. In 2009, Portland Police Chief Rosie Sizer announced the consolidation of Portland's five police precincts into three, combining North and Northeast into one larger North Precinct which would be headquartered out of the former Northeast precinct building located at NE Emerson and MLK Jr. Blvd. The old North precinct building has since been home to PPB's Traffic Division.

title: Quakers (album)

text:
Quakers is the debut studio album by Quakers, a hip hop supergroup consisting of producers Fuzzface (Geoff Barrow), 7-Stu-7, and Katalyst. It was released on Stones Throw Records on 26 March 2012. The CD edition comes with a full instrumental version as a bonus disc.

Critical reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 80, based on 14 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Chase McMullen of Beats Per Minute wrote: "As both a display of production mastery, and as a hip hop effort, Quakers is one of the most consistently refreshing albums in recent memory." Heather Phares of AllMusic commented that "since there's so much talent involved and the tracks are so short (Estee Nack's meditative 'Lost and Found' is the longest at just over four minutes), the bright spots come at listeners thick and fast." She added, "Quakers is the kind of album where favorite tracks change from listen to listen, and a testament to hip-hop's enduring power."

title: Surdulica massacre

text:
The Surdulica massacre was the mass murder of Serbian men by Bulgarian occupational authorities in the southern Serbian town of Surdulica in 1916 and early 1917, during World War I. Members of the Serbian intelligentsia in the region, mostly functionaries, teachers, priests and former soldiers, were detained by Bulgarian forces—ostensibly so that they could be deported to the Bulgarian capital, Sofia—before being taken into the forests around Surdulica and killed. An estimated 2,000–3,000 Serbian men were executed by the Bulgarians in the town and its surroundings. Witnesses to the massacre were interviewed by American writer William A. Drayton in December 1918 and January 1919.

Background
Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on 28 July, marking the beginning of World War I. Serbia was invaded by a combined German and Austro-Hungarian force on 7 October 1915. On 14 October, the Kingdom of Bulgaria declared war on Serbia and invaded the country from the east. The Serbian Army was forced to retreat through Albania. Serbia was divided between the Austro-Hungarians, Germans and Bulgarians. The Bulgarian occupation zone was located in the area between the cities of Skopje and Niš, which had been a target of Bulgarian nationalism.

As Bulgarians emphasize, before 1878, that area was under the jurisdiction of the Bulgarian Exarchate and had certain Bulgarophile intelligentsia, but afterwards it was ceded to Serbia and pro-Serbian sentiments became prevailing ubiquitously. A policy of Bulgarianisation targeting ethnic Serbs was implemented there. As result in September 1916, the Serbian high command sent Kosta Pećanac in the Toplica District to organize a guerrilla uprising.

There, Pećanac contacted several groups and joined forces with local leaders. As a consequence, one of the first measures undertaken by the Bulgarian military authorities was the mass-deportation of non-Bulgarian adult males. On 16 December 1916, the Bulgarian military governor of the occupied Serbian territories ordered that "all men between 18 and 50 who have served in the Serbian Army, all officers, former teachers, priests, journalists, former deputies, military functionaries, and all suspected persons, should be arrested and interned". Arrests of Serbian men followed.

In January–February 1917 the Bulgarians began conscripting local Serbs for military service and a rumor was spread that the Allies had reached Skopje, so the Serbs should rise in revolt. The decision for this rebellion was taken and on 21 February, and the Toplica rebellion broke out. Its leaders gathered several hundreds of rebels who conquered Prokuplje and Kuršumlija. Pećanac also attempted to attract Albanians on his side, but without success. On 12 March, the Bulgarian counterattack started under the command of Alexander Protogerov involving  comitadjis' forces of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation.

After several days of fighting, the Bulgarians entered Prokuplje on 14 March and Austro-Hungarians the Kuršumlija. As of 25 March, the order there was fully restored. In the battles, several thousand people were killed, including civilians. In April 1917, the Serbian guerrillas attacked a railway station and on 15 May, Pecanac entered the old Bulgarian border and invaded Bosilegrad, which was burned down. Then he withdrew to Kosovo, controlled then by the Austro-Hungarians.

Massacre
By these circumstances many Serbian men in the occupied territories were detained by Bulgarian patrolmen, ostensibly to be taken to the Bulgarian capital, Sofia. Instead, they were taken into the forests surrounding the town of Surdulica and killed, as historian Andrej Mitrović describes it, "using the most brutal methods". Colonel von Lustig, an Austro-Hungarian liaison attached to the German 11th Army, reported:

An estimated 2,000–3,000 Serbian men were executed by the Bulgarians only in Surdulica and its surroundings. At the same time the Bulgarian military authorities killed also many civilians in Vranje, Zajecar, Kacanik, and other places in that area. The Bulgarian head of the Vranje district described the executed men as "killers, thieves and butchers" whose "[crimes] were so great that at least ten years would be needed to mend their evil".

Gallery

Aftermath
The relatives of those executed in and around Surdulica were harassed and persecuted by Bulgarian authorities following the massacre. An American writer named William A. Drayton visited Macedonia and southern Serbia between December 1918 and January 1919 as part of a Serbian commission investigating Bulgarian war crimes in these regions. Drayton noted in his diary that he interviewed fifteen eyewitnesses who charged that Bulgarian forces deported Serbs to Surdulica and executed a portion of them there in accordance with pre-determined lists of names. The rest, according to the witnesses, actually were deported to Sofia.

title: Order-7 heptagrammic tiling

text:
In geometry, the order-7 heptagrammic tiling is a tiling of the hyperbolic plane by overlapping heptagrams.

Description
This tiling is a regular star-tiling, and has Schläfli symbol of {7/2,7}. The heptagrams forming the tiling are of type {7/2}, . The overlapping heptagrams subdivide the hyperbolic plane into isosceles triangles, 14 of which form each heptagram.

Each point of the hyperbolic plane that does not lie on a heptagram edge belongs to the central heptagon of one heptagram, and is in one of the points of exactly one other heptagram. The winding number of each heptagram around its points is one, and the winding number around the central heptagon is two, so adding these two numbers together, each point of the plane is surrounded three times; that is, the density of the tiling is 3.

In the Euclidean plane, a heptagram of type {7/2} would have angles of 3/7 at its vertices, but in the hyperbolic plane heptagrams can have the sharper vertex angle 2/7 that is needed to make exactly seven other heptagrams meet up at the center of each heptagram of the tiling.

Related tilings
It has the same vertex arrangement as the regular order-7 triangular tiling, {3,7}. The full set of edges coincide with the edges of a heptakis heptagonal tiling.  The valance 6 vertices in this tiling are false-vertices in the heptagrammic one caused by crossed edges.

It is related to a Kepler-Poinsot polyhedron, the small stellated dodecahedron, {5/2,5}, which is polyhedron and a density-3 regular star-tiling on the sphere:

title: Mount Tyson, Queensland

text:
Mount Tyson is a rural town and locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia. In the , the locality of Mount Tyson had a population of 285 people.

Geography
Mount Tyson is on the Darling Downs. It is located  west of Toowoomba city centre.

The Toowoomba–Cecil Plains Road runs along part of the northern boundary.

Mount Tyson has the following mountains:

 Mount Edgecombe ()
 Mount Tyson ()

History
The town's name derives from the name of its railway station, which in turn was derived from the local mountain, which was believed to be named after James Tyson, a grazier and Member of the Queensland Legislative Council.

Mount Tyson Provisional School opened on 18 April 1904 (Easter) with 35 pupils; Minnie (McIntyre) Fletcher was the first teacher. On 1 January 1909 it became Mount Tyson State School. The school was extended in 1916, 1949, 1963, 1973 (library) and 1996 (Prep year building). The school celebrated its centenary in 2004.

Mount Tyson Post Office opened by 1917 (a receiving office had been open from 1904, briefly known as Mount Russell).

Between 1914 and 1994, the town was serviced by the Cecil Plains railway line.

St Philip's Anglican Church was dedicated on 13 October 1907 by St Clair Donaldson, the Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane. When St John's Anglican Church in Springside closed circa 1974, its church building was relocated to the site of St Philip's  for use as a Sunday school and later remodelled as a parish hall. Circa 2014, St Philip's church also closed. The land with the two church buildings at 6-8 Main Street () was sold as a single lot on 4 August 2016 and is now privately owned.

Mount Tyson Methodist Church was built in 1907 at a cost of £105. It could seat 100 people. It has since been demolished.

Mary Immaculate Catholic Church was built in 1958. The timber church was designed  by F Cullen.

In 1991, Mount Tyson was the national winner of the Australian Tidy Town Awards, run by Keep Australia Beautiful.

In the , the locality of Mount Tyson had a population of 285 people.

Education
Mount Tyson State School is a government primary (Prep-6) school for boys and girls at Main Street ().

title: Wilhelm Friedrich Georg Behn

text:
Wilhelm Friedrich Georg Behn (25 December 1808, Kiel – 14 May 1878, Dresden) was a German anatomist and zoologist. For eight years he was president of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.

From 1828 he studied medicine at the Universities of Göttingen and Kiel, afterwards continuing his education in Paris (1834), where he made the acquaintanceship of famed scientists that included Dupuytren, Flourens, Poiseuille and Chevreul. In 1837 he was named an associate professor of anatomy and physiology as well as director of the anatomical institute and the zoological museum at Kiel.

In 1845–47 he participated in a circumnavigation of the globe aboard the Danish ship "Galathea". As a result of the expedition, he collected valuable natural history material for the zoological museum in Kiel. After his return to Kiel, he was appointed a full professor of anatomy and zoology (1848). In 1867 he resigned his professorship at Kiel as a protest against the annexation of Holstein by Prussia and the formation of the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein. He then relocated to Dresden, where from 1870 until his death in 1878, he served as president of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.

title: Bear Brook State Park Civilian Conservation Corps Camp Historic District

text:
The Bear Brook State Park Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp Historic District is the only surviving Civilian Conservation Corps work camp in New Hampshire.  Located in Bear Brook State Park, in Allenstown, the camp's facilities have been adaptively reused to provide space for park administration and a small museum.  It is located in the northwestern portion of the park, south of Deerfield Road.  It is also believed to be one of the few relatively intact CCC camps in the nation.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

Description and history
The United States Forest Service purchased the lands that make up much of Bear Brook State Park in 1935, as part of a jobs plan for acquiring and adapting lands of marginal agricultural value for recreational purposes.  The 1123rd Company of the Civilian Conservation Corps was established in those lands in 1935 to undertake the process of building out infrastructure for recreation.  The crew was housed in a camp that included thirteen structures, built out of relatively inexpensive materials in a rapid period of time, to standardized designs developed by the United States Army.  The buildings were framed in southern pine, with walls and roofs of pine wallboard covered in tarpaper.  They were built without foundations, the sills set directly on the ground, as they were intended to be temporary structures.

The camp at Bear Brook operated from 1935 until 1942, when the CCC program was terminated.  It was used for one year as a recreational facility for United States Navy personnel on leave from ships docked in nearby coastal harbors, and was then turned over to the state.  The camp complex was adapted for use as a maintenance and residence facility for park staff.  Buildings were given more durable exteriors (now generally asphalt shingle roofing and wooden shingle siding), and their interiors were altered for these new uses.  Of the roughly fifteen buildings erected in the camp, eight survive, as do many of the trees planted in the campground by the CCC, which have matured and provide shade to the area.  One of the buildings now houses a small museum devoted to local CCC history.  The camp is the only one to survive in any significant form in the state (out of 26 built), and is one of a small number in the nation to retain as many buildings as it has.

title: After Romeo

text:
After Romeo was a band based in Los Angeles, California. After Romeo was formed in late 2012 by Drew Ryan Scott, Jayk Purdy, and T.C. Carter after their previous band, Varsity Fanclub, was disbanded. The band consisted Drew Ryan Scott, Jayk Purdy, T.C. Carter, Blake English, and Devin Fox.

After signing with Sony Music Japan, the group released an album titled "The Story Continues..." exclusively in Japan. After Devin Fox's departure, the group rebranded and released the "Good Things" EP on all streaming platforms. The band disbanded in 2017.

History

2012-2013: Formation and Debut
In February 2012, Varsity Fanclub was officially disbanded after their Germany tour due to David Lei Brandt leaving the group to tour with Lady Gaga. Shortly after the speculation of David’s departure, a video was posted on Varsity Fanclub’s YouTube page asking fans to help them pick a new name for them so they can rebrand in the United States. After months of waiting, the band revealed their new name: After Romeo. With this rebranding, ex-VFC members Drew Ryan Scott, Jayk Purdy, and T.C. Carter introduced two new members of the group: Blake English and Devin Fox. Blake English was introduced to the other members via T.C. Carter, as the two of them were childhood friends who grew up together in Georgia. Devin Fox was recruited by Drew Ryan Scott after Scott spoke at a performing arts school in Los Angeles. Scott claimed that he was a guest speaker at the school to talk about song writing and that’s when he saw Devin. The group met up with Devin and his mother for dinner and as Scott claims, “…the rest is history.”

After several weeks of songwriting, recording, and rehearsals, the group officially signed with Jonnie Forster’s 4SOUND Label.

The group planned to release “Free Fall” as their first studio single. Since the group was recently formed, they were not in a financial position to film a high-budget production for their music video. Drew Ryan Scott funded the project out of his own pocket. Prior to the release of the music video, Jayk Purdy cold-called the Vevo headquarters under his alias “Ryan Hill” to convince them to advertise the video on the Vevo homepage. Much to everyone’s surprise, Vevo accepted the offer and even cross-promoted the group’s video on One Direction’s Vevo page. The music video reached number one on the MTV music chart and was featured in an internationally broadcast advertisement.[3] In February 2014, After Romeo was launched in the Italian music market.[4]

In 2012, the group performed at the SXSW – Rags 2 Riches event. Their performance was universally panned and the group subsequently had any video of the performance removed from YouTube – stating that it was “not a fair representation” of what they were capable of.

Soon after, the group went on to audition for the X-Factor, opting to perform an acoustic rendition of One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful”. The judges were not impressed – pointing out the group’s uneven make-up and even suggested that some of the members were older than they led on (which was later proven to be correct).

2014-2015: The Bully-Proof Tour and the ‘Love on Lock EP'
In 2014, After Romeo partnered with several artists on a 300-school and 35-mall Bully Proof Tour, where they traveled across the country to give daily performances and to educate fans about the issue of bullying in hopes to establish a bully-free community. Each member of the group stood before students and parents to share their own experiences with bullying and the negative long-term effects that may come out of it.

The group released their first unofficial EP entitled the “Love on Lock EP” exclusively for those who attended their Bully Proof concerts. The track list included the songs: Love on Lock, On Our Side, One Night, Mr. Impatient, Meet Me in my Dreams, Love on Lock (Acoustic), and Love on Lock (Instrumental). The EP was not released on any streaming platforms.

The group partnered up with David Lehre to produce their music videos for ‘Love on Lock’ and ‘Juliet’.

2015: Japan Tour and ‘THE STORY CONTINUES…’
In 2015, After Romeo signed a major record deal with Sony Japan for their Asian territory tours. With Sony, the group was able to reach a new audience via Vogue Japan interviews, exclusive YouTube videos, and a new tour. The tour garnered major attention for the group, allowing them to release their debut album “The Story Continues…” The album was released exclusively in Japan, with hopes to release a US version of the album once the tour was done.

The Japanese release of the album notably left out the songs ‘Thirsty,’ ‘Superhuman,’ and ‘Fight for Love.’ Drew explained in an interview that the songs were replaced with ‘Hard to Get,’ ‘Overnight,’ and ‘Tokyo 2 LA’ because they wanted to introduce J-Rock-sounding tracks for the Japanese market. The latter tracks were scheduled to be included in the US release of the album (which was shelved).

2015-2016: Rebranding and the ‘GOOD THINGS’ EP
Following the departure of Devin Fox, the group decided to take the time to rebrand themselves.

The group then released their single, “Where the People Go,” which was a major departure from their usual pop sound. The song was written by Drew Ryan Scott and Blake English during the writing camp and was eventually presented to the other members. It was at this point where the group focused on shifting their sound from generic "bubble-gum" pop music to indie pop with folk and R&B influences. The Pop nation tour served as a taste of their new sound going forward, as they performed remixes of their songs “Free Fall,” “Love on Lock,” as well as a new song called “Handmade.”

After the Pop Nation tour completed its run, the group became part of Macy’s iHeartRadio Rising Star campaign, which featured 25 artists that had the opportunity to win the chance to open the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. After Romeo took this opportunity to announce their new EP: “Good Things.” The group’s new sound was more mature and aesthetically pleasing compared to their original boyband image. Drew Ryan Scott claimed that the group had already recorded enough material to complete an entire album but opted to distribute an EP first to test the waters.

Their first single, “Convenience” took a giant leap into the band’s maturity from a production, vocal, and lyrical perspective. The song itself caused a major stir within the industry as some of the biggest pop stars were competing to make “Convenience” their own. The “Good Things” EP was critically acclaimed and had positive reviews – showing that the group had a bright future ahead of them.

The group partnered up with Samsung to star in a world-wide commercial promoting the Samsung Galaxy S7 – which included a VR headset feature. After Romeo was featured on Billboard as well as the AOL Build Series.

2017: Disbanding and the Devin Fox Allegations
On September 7, 2017, Devin Fox filed a lawsuit via the Los Angeles Superior Court against the entire group (including their label 4SOUND) – alleging everything from sexual battery and harassment to emotional distress and negligence. Due to these allegations – the group quietly disbanded while the suit was ongoing. Jayk, T.C., and Blake were shortly dismissed from the suit due to lack of fault.

The case was settled and did not go to trial. Drew Ryan Scott agreed to pay an undisclosed monthly settlement amount until 2024.

In 2020, Devin Fox took to Twitter to state that the Los Angeles Superior Court failed him and that he did not receive justice for what happened to him between 2012-2015. At this point, other teens took to Twitter to discuss the group’s behavior towards them. The allegations ranged from band members asking inappropriate questions, predatorial behavior, as well as asking for inappropriate pictures via the social media app ‘KIK’. Devin’s tweets would later be deleted (most likely due to his settlement still being paid out).

In light of Devin’s tweets, Drew set his social media accounts to private to avoid any harassment.

title: Matt Suiche

text:
Matthieu Suiche (born September 22, 1988), also known as Matt and under the username msuiche, is a French hacker and entrepreneur widely known as the founder of MoonSols, and co-founder of CloudVolumes before it was acquired by VMWare in 2014. In March 2014, Suiche was highlighted as one of the 100 key French developers in a report for French minister Fleur Pellerin.

Career
Suiche is best known for his work in the memory forensics and computer security fields. His most notable research contributions include Windows hibernation file analysis and Mac OS X physical memory analysis.

Furthermore, he created LiveCloudKd, a utility to analyze running Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines. Microsoft Technical fellow Mark Russinovich highlighted it on his blog before introducing a similar feature in one of Microsoft's tools. Russinovich also said "We were so impressed that we invited Matthieu to speak about live kernel debugging and LiveCloudKd at this year’s BlueHat Security Briefings".

He is also known to have discovered multiple security flaws in multiple Microsoft Windows kernel components. Suiche is Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in Enterprise Security.

Suiche started his career as an independent security researcher by presenting his work about the Microsoft Windows hibernation file for the first time at the international conference PacSec held in Tokyo in 2007. He also had been invited by Europol to speak at their internal High Tech Crime Experts Meeting in 2008. Between 2009 and 2010, he worked as a researcher for Netherlands Forensic Institute in The Hague before starting MoonSols which specialized in memory forensics and incident response.

Suiche was also contributor of the Samba project during the Google Summer of Code in 2008, where he was in charge of implementing the new compression algorithms used by the networking protocols.

In 2011, Suiche founded CloudVolumes (formerly SnapVolumes) a California-based virtualization management product company where he served as a Chief Scientist. Company was acquired by VMware in 2014.

In 2016, Suiche founded Comae, is a UAE-based cybersecurity company that specializes in cloud-based memory analysis used to recover evidence from the volatile memory of devices. Company was acquired by Magnet Forensics in 2022.

Conferences
Suiche also had been a frequent speaker at various computer security conferences such as Black Hat Briefings, Microsoft Blue Hat Hacker Conference, Shakacon, Hackito Ergo Sum, Europol High Tech Crime Experts Meeting, CanSecWest, PacSec, Hack In The Box, SyScan and Shakacon.

He is on the board of Program Committee of Shakacon security conference, and one of the founders of Hackito Ergo Sum security conference in Paris.

The Shadow Brokers
The Shadow Brokers is a hacker group who first appeared in the summer of 2016. They published several leaks containing hacking tools, including several zero-day exploits, from the "Equation Group" who are widely suspected to be a branch of the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States. Suiche spoke at the BlackHat about The Shadow Brokers’ saga, the large Vegas-based cybersecurity conference and after his presentation the TSB posted a public message stating “Hello Matt Suiche, The ShadowBrokers is sorry TheShadowBrokers is missing you at theblackhats or maybe not.”

Suiche along with James Bamford speculated that an insider, "possibly someone assigned to the [NSA's] highly sensitive Tailored Access Operations", stole the hacking tools.

Pwnie Awards 2013
In 2012, Suiche was one of the security researchers (along with several other well-known security researchers) who submitted a bogus article entitled "Nmap: The Internet Considered Harmful - DARPA Inference Checking Kludge Scanning" to Hakin9 Information Security Magazine. This article has been used as a social proof to demonstrate the lack of relevance and expertise of certain media dedicated to Information Security, but also to criticize spamming techniques used by media in order to generate quantity-oriented data rather than quality-oriented information. The following year, this article resulted in being awarded the 2013 Pwnie Awards attributed to Hakin9 under the "Most Epic FAIL" category.

Awards and recognition
 2009-2015, Microsoft Most Valuable Professional.
 2014, One of the 100 top key developers in France.

title: Calvin Frye

text:
Calvin Augustine Frye (August 24, 1845 – April 26, 1917) was the personal assistant of Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910), the founder of Christian Science.

Biography

Calvin Frye was born in Frye Village, named after an ancestor of his, which is now part of Andover, Massachusetts. After attending the public school in Andover, Frye was apprenticed as a machinist in Davis & Furber's machine shops in North Andover, where he worked until he joined Eddy. He moved with his family to Lawrence in the early 1860s. When he was 26 years old, Calvin married Ada E. Brush of Lowell, who was visiting in Lawrence, and who attended the same church. She died one year after the marriage, and Frye moved back in with his family.

Calvin and his widowed sister, Lydia Roaf, first became interested in Christian Science through a sister-in-law, Mrs. Oscar Frye. Calvin took a course of instruction under Eddy, after which he, as well as his sister, became practitioners in Lawrence, although he would only be there about a year. Calvin joined Eddy in Boston in 1882, shortly after the death of her husband Asa Eddy. Lydia followed Calvin, and for some time did Eddy's housework. Lydia later returned to Lawrence.

Frye lived in Eddy's homes at 569 Columbus Avenue, Boston, and later at Pleasant View, Concord, New Hampshire, and Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. He worked as Eddy's secretary, managing her personal affairs, and dealing with her official correspondence. He was reportedly with her practically every day from August 1882, when he joined her household as her chief aide, until she died in December 1910. Eddy praised Frye, saying "Calvin is invaluable to me in my work, because he would not break one of the ten commandments."

After Eddy's death, Frye continued serving the church, as First Reader of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Concord, New Hampshire from 1912 to 1915; and as president of The Mother Church in 1916. Frye also traveled and played music.

Frye became known locally during his lifetime for taking Eddy for a daily ride in a horse-drawn carriage, with Frye dressed in a uniform and top hat sitting next to the coachman. Among critics of the church he is known chiefly for the diary he left behind, which details Eddy's domestic life. Caroline Fraser, the most famous modern critic, called his notebooks "mysterious" in 1999, and claimed that at the time of writing, no outside scholars had been allowed to see the originals. In 2002, Frye's diaries, which number well over 100, were made available to the public through the Mary Baker Eddy Library.

In the hours following Frye's death, John V. Dittemore, a former member of the church's Board of Directors who had become estranged from them, entered Frye's house and removed sections from Frye's diary which he considered most incriminating, he then transcribed, photographed, and burned the originals. He later used the copies to write a critical biography of Eddy with Ernest Sutherland Bates in 1932.

title: Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san

text:
is a Japanese comedy manga series written and illustrated by Masahiro Hirakata. It was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from November 2012 to May 2013, with its chapters collected in three tankōbon volumes. The series focuses on the comedic adventures of Kiruko Otonashi and Haruki Anjō, two rookie policemen in the kōban of the small rural town of , and their chief, Kanjūrō Tsutsui.

Plot
Haruki Anjō is a police officer eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first junior in the rural and uneventful town of  where he works. However, he certainly didn't expect the rookie to be ex-mercenary Kiruko Otonashi, a green-haired young woman without any common sense who has the unfortunate habit of hilariously failing every single task she tries, often causing more harm than good. And thus, Haruki must take the responsibility of teaching Kiruko how to be a proper policewoman, while covering up and fixing all the trouble she stirs.

Characters

A former mercenary with considerable experience on the battlefield, she later became a policewoman and got assigned to the Nagashima police station (to which officers not wanted by other stations are often sent). Kiruko is depicted as an average-sized young woman who is distinct for having bright green hair and orange eyes (one covered by an eyepatch). Kiruko is considered attractive by many of the other characters, and is also noted for her large bust size, which her colleagues (especially Haruki) often bring up or reference during everyday conversation. She is energetic and enthusiastic about her new job with the police, though often gets carried away, and ends up doing more harm than good.
Due to her extensive training in the military, Kiruko often fails to apply common sense and greatly overreacts to everyday scenarios, or applies military strategies (such as proposing to clear a road with grenades before crossing). Though wanting to do good, Kiruko is oftentimes inexperienced and escalates or overreacts to normal issues (much to the annoyance of Haruki). Kiruko wields two Tonfa Blades, which she carries with her all the time, and is capable of inflicting great damage with them (despite being repeatedly warned by Haruki not to). She is very fast and powerful physically, and seems to be resistant to injuries (such as being stabbed with a knife blade).

Depicted as an "everyday" male police officer at Nagashima station (having been transferred there due to his poor and perverted behavior). Depicted an ordinary in most ways, with reddish-brown hair and yellow eyes, Haruki is sometimes lazy and tries to avoid doing work when on duty. He is the colleague and mentor of Kiruko, being with her most of the time while carrying out their duties and policemen, and as a result, is responsible for her mistakes and accidents (a running gag being that he gets punished whenever Kiruko screws up, often in form of getting his pay deducted).
Unlike Kiruko, Haruki has much more experience in the police force, and is also much calmer (though panics when his plans fail). He confesses himself to be very perverted, often wanting to touch Kiruko's breasts, and would (inadvertently) tell his desires to other characters. Despite his numerous shortcomings, however, Haruki is shown to be generally helpful and competent, often trying his best at helping Kiruko on the job (though he may only be doing this to avoid further pay deductions) or taking the initiative to support others.

The chief of Nagashima station. He has black hair and eyes, and is shown to be older than Haruki. He organises events at the station, has good manners and has a frank and straightforward personality.

Publication
Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san, written and illustrated by Masahiro Hirakata, was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from November 19, 2012, to May 20, 2013. Shueisha collected its 24 individual chapters in three tankōbon volumes published from March 4 to July 4, 2013.

Volume list

Reception
The series got a fan following after the series' first chapter release, with art community Pixiv having hundreds of pictures.

title: Maa Markama Temple

text:
Maa Markama Temple located at Bissam Cuttack village of Rayagada district is a place of tourist interest. It is the only shrine (Shakti Peethas) of Devi Maa Markama and Maa karkama in the Indian state of Odisha. The temple of Maa Karkama (believed to be the sister of Maa Markama) is situated next to the temple of Maa Markama. The legend says that the Devi is being worshiped for centuries. However, the temple was constructed in the recent past.
A junior college and a university college in Bissam Cuttack are named after Maa Markama. The temple is one of the places of tourist attractions in the Rayagada district.  Dussehra and chaitra Paraba are celebrated every year at the temple. The nearest railhead is Chatikona, which is 7 km (4.34 miles) from Bissam Cuttack.

History

As per historical references,  Kalahambir, the king of the SURYA dynasty (Suryavansi) ruled Bissam cuttack and Devi Maa Markama was the Ishtadevi of the royal family. The ritual of human sacrifice was prevalent here and was stopped during British rule. Yet the ritual of buffalo sacrifice continued, which was stopped by the then Regional officer Shri Gadhadhar Mishro(01.07.1953-19.03.1955). The mention of Devi Maa Markama can also be found in the CHANDI PURANA of Sarala Dash and also in BATA ABAKASH of Matta Balarama Dash. The Devi has been mentioned as Utkaleeya (Oriya for "of Odisha") jogini in mythological books. Several legends say that Devi Markama helped the King of Bissam Cuttack during a war by mesmerizing the enemy soldiers.

title: Santiago J. Erevia

text:
Santiago Jesus Erevia (December 15, 1945 – March 22, 2016) was an American soldier who fought in the Vietnam War and a recipient of the Medal of Honor.

Biography
Santiago Erevia, a Mexican-American, was born in Nordheim, Texas, in 1945, volunteering to join the United States Army in San Antonio when he was 22 years old.

Serving in the Vietnam War, his conduct resulted in his being presented with the Medal of Honor: while a Spc. 4, Erevia distinguished himself May 21, 1969, while serving as a radio-telephone operator during Operation Lamar Plain, a "search and destroy" mission near Tam Ky City, in the Republic of Vietnam.

In 1970, Erevia left active service with a two-year reserve obligation. In 1972, he joined the Texas National Guard and went on to serve 17 years. Erevia worked as a mail carrier for the United States Postal Service, retiring in 2002 after thirty-two years of service. Erevia died on March 22, 2016, in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 70.

Medal of Honor award
Erevia was one of two dozen veterans who received the Medal of Honor in 2014 after a Pentagon review, mandated by Congress in 2002, of past discrimination in the bestowal of the military's highest honor for valor. Erevia was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama in a March 18, 2014 ceremony at the White House.

The award came through the Defense Authorization Act which called for a review of Jewish American and Hispanic American veterans from World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War to ensure that no prejudice was shown to those deserving the Medal of Honor.

Medal of Honor citation
Erevia's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:

Specialist Four Santiago J. Erevia distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a radio telephone operator in Company C, 1st Battalion (Airmobile), 501st Infantry, 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile) during search and clear mission near Tam Ky, Republic of Vietnam on May 21, 1969. After breaching an insurgent perimeter, Specialist Four Erevia was designated by his platoon leader to render first aid to several casualties, and the rest of the platoon moved forward. As he was doing so, he came under intense hostile fire from four bunkers to his left front. Although he could have taken cover with the rest of the element, he chose a retaliatory course of action. With heavy enemy fire directed at him, he moved in full view of the hostile gunners as he proceeded to crawl from one wounded man to another, gathering ammunition. Armed with two M-16 rifles and several hand grenades, he charged toward the enemy positions behind the suppressive fire of the two rifles. Under very intense fire, he continued to advance on the insurgents until he was near the first bunker. Disregarding the enemy fire, he pulled the pin from a hand grenade and advanced on the bunker, leveling suppressive fire until he could drop the grenade into the bunker, mortally wounding the insurgent and destroying the fortification. Without hesitation, he employed identical tactics as he proceeded to eliminate the next two enemy positions. With the destruction of the third bunker, Specialist Four Erevia had exhausted his supply of hand grenades. Still under intense fire from the fourth position, he courageously charged forward behind the fire emitted by his M-16 rifles. Arriving at the very edge of the bunker, he silenced the occupant within the fortification at point blank range. Through his heroic actions the lives of the wounded were saved and the members of the Company Command Post were relieved from a very precarious situation. His exemplary performance in the face of overwhelming danger was an inspiration to his entire company and contributed immeasurably to the success of the mission. Specialist Four Erevia's conspicuous gallantry, extraordinary heroism, and intrepidity at the risk of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

Citation represents Soldier's rank at time of action.

Other awards and citations
In addition to receiving the Medal of Honor, Erevia received the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with five Bronze Service Stars, Combat Infantryman Badge, Sharpshooter Marksmanship Badge with Auto Rifle Bar, Marksman Marksmanship Badge with Rifle Bar, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal with "60" Device, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Gold Star Device and Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Honor Medal, First Class.

title: Bennett Farm (Henniker, New Hampshire)

text:
Bennett Farm is a historic farmstead at 11 Bennett Road in Henniker, New Hampshire. The area has been farmed since the 1730s, when Henniker was laid out, and has been in the Bennett family for over a century. It is the oldest surviving farmstead in the rural community, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

Description and history
The Bennett Farm consists of  of land in eastern Henniker, roughly bounded by Elm Street, Bennett Road (aka Old Route 114), and New Hampshire Route 114. A narrow strip of cleared farmland lies north of Bennett Road, as does the main house. Additional cleared land is southwest of the Bennett Road/Elm Street junction, with the balance of the land wooded. The farmstead includes a number of buildings, the oldest of which is the c. 1780 main house. This building, a five-bay two-story wood frame with a large central chimney, was used as a tavern until the mid-19th century, when the property was converted to exclusively agricultural uses. The most unusual building on the property is the barn, which was originally built in 1834 as a religious meeting house, was moved to its present location in 1860 and then converted for use as a barn. Its steeple was blown off in 1937, leaving a cupola-like top.

The land making up the farm was first granted to John Clark in 1733. This property was purchased in 1779 by John Goodenow, who established a tavern the following year, and is the likely builder of the house. The property continued in use as a tavern until 1848, after which it was used exclusively for agricultural purposes. It has been owned since 1902 by the Bennett family, which originally had a diversified farm operation, including the raising of poultry and dairy cattle. In recent years the land has been farmed by neighbors.

title: Candelario Garcia

text:
Candelario Garcia, Jr. (February 26, 1944 – January 10, 2013) was a United States Army veteran of the Vietnam War, and a recipient of the Medal of Honor.

Biography
Garcia was born in Corsicana, Texas on February 26, 1944, of Mexican descent.

He enlisted in the U.S. Army on May 28, 1963, and his actions on December 8, 1968 while serving in Vietnam caused him to receive the Medal of Honor, posthumously, in 2014. Garcia died on January 10, 2013, aged 68, in his native Corsicana.

Medal of Honor
Garcia distinguished himself on December 8, 1968, as a team leader during a reconnaissance-in-force mission near Lai Khê, Vietnam during Operation Toan Thang II. Garcia destroyed two enemy machine-gun positions in an attempt to aid casualties that were in the open and under fire, then rejoining his company in a successful assault on the remaining enemy positions. Garcia was originally awarded a Distinguished Service Cross on 4 April 1969 for this action. The award was rescinded on 18 March 2014 under Permanent Order 077-34.

He received the Medal of Honor, posthumously, from President Barack Obama in a March 18, 2014 White House ceremony. As Garcia had been a former "Big Red One" (1st Infantry Division) soldier, the 1st Infantry Division's Command Sgt. Maj. Michael A. Grinston received the medal on behalf of Garcia and his surviving family members.   Garcia's surviving Family members had asked the division to represent him in the White House ceremony and the Pentagon ceremony inducting him into the Pentagon Hall of Heroes.

The award came through the Defense Authorization Act which called for a review of Jewish American and Hispanic American veterans from World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War to ensure that no prejudice was shown to those deserving the Medal of Honor.

title: St. John's Church, Bremen

text:
St. John's Church (German: St. Johann) is a Roman Catholic provost church in Bremen. It was built in the fourteenth century as a Franciscan abbey church and has been a listed monument since 1973.

History and architecture

On the site of the modern church in the eastern part of the old city, in Schnoor, the Franciscans erected a monastery with a basilica in 1225. The monastery grew rapidly and the church was soon too small. As a result, a vaulted Hall church with three aisles was built in its place in 1380. The money for this came mostly from the many funerary endowments resulting from the Black Death in Europe, which killed seven thousand in Bremen.

In 1528, during the Reformation, the monastery was closed and Bremen's first hospital and mental asylum was built on the site of the monastery in 1538, with the approval of the monks. Church and monastery served different purposes; the church was used as a hospital church and sometimes served Protestant congregations when their churches were being renovated or repaired. From 1684 religious services of the Huguenots and later of Belgian religious refugees were held in the church. Until the middle of the seventeenth century, the monastery continued to serve as Bremen's hospital. At that point it became a retirement home, in which the possessors of prebends lived - citizens who had secured a permanent right of residence for themselves in exchange for a payment of a sum.

From 1802 only the choir was used in religious services. The nave was meant to be converted into a warehouse, but, due to the Napoleonic invasion of Bremen, this never occurred. The catholic community which was officially recognised again in 1806 acquired the church at the impetus of the council and rededicated it as a Catholic church on 17 October 1823, after restoration work. Using the rubble from the destruction of the monastery for hygiene reasons in 1834, the level of the streets around the church was raised by two meters to avoid floods; within the church, the floor level was raised by three metres. As a result, a large cellar was created, which was rented commercially in order to offset debt until 1992 when it became the crypt. Raising the floor level of the church meant that the ceiling height is three metres lower than it used to be. The reconstruction of 1822/3 can be most easily be discerned from the lower part of the choir windows which have been bricked up.

St John is the only surviving monastery church in the city. Only Catherine's Passage (Katharinenpassage) in the city centre testifies to the existence of the earlier Dominican monastery and its church of St Katherine. St Paul's monastery in front of the city gates was destroyed in 1546 by military action.

The church building is a particularly clear example of the Brick gothic style. All three naves were covered by a single especially large pitched roof. The west gable's extraordinary form and size derives from this design. It is divided into three stories, which each contain pointed arch windows arranged in pairs. The base line of these windows is a line of ornamental brickwork. At the apex of the gable is a cruciform window with a star of David. This has been in place since 1878, when the roof was repaired and the new gable installed, surmounted by a stone cross.
The star of David was probably included as a result of horror vacui. No other symbolic significance at all is attested in church documents. One can, however, suggest that the star of David is symbolic of the Old Testament and the cruciform shape is symbolic of the New Testament. The two belong together and form the foundation of the church.

The building did not include a tower originally, in line with the rules of the Franciscan order, though it did have a Flèche.

St John's Abbey
The former St John's Abbey of the Franciscan order, which stood next to the church, no longer survives. It existed from 1258 to 1528.

Provost of St John
In 1965 a series of two-story red stone houses, designed by Bernhard Wessel for the Provost of St John (Propstei St. Johannis), were built at Hohe Straße 2-7/Franziskanerstraße 7 on the monastery grounds. Since 1973 the buildings are among Bremen's listed heritage sites.

Community
The parish  of St John and the parish of St Elisabeth in Hastedt (Bremen) were combined as the provostship of St John on 1 January 2007. 10,500 Catholics from more than a hundred nations belong to the new congregation.

The provostship has its office at Hohe Straße 2-7. St John's kindergarten (Kolpingstraße 2), St John's elementary school (Tiefer 12), St John's secondary school I and II (Dechanatstraße 9) and Birgittenkloster (Convent of Saint Birgitta) are a few of many provostship buildings in the municipal area.

Dr Hermann Lange was chaplain and pastor of the church from 1911 to 1931.

Organ
The organ of St John's was built in 1965 by the organ firm Franz Breil (Dorsten). The instrument has 47 registers in three manuals. The playing system is mechanical, but the register system is electronic.

title: Leonard L. Alvarado

text:
Leonard Louis Alvarado (February 13, 1947 – August 12, 1969) was a U.S. Army posthumous recipient of the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War.

Alvarado joined the Army in 1968, and served as a specialist four. While on an exercise to rescue a trapped American platoon in Phuoc Long Province, Alvarado's company was attacked by the besiegers, and it was pinned down. Alvarado was wounded several times, but took out several enemy gun positions. While in the process of covering suppressing fire, Alvarado died of his wounds. He was awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor in 2014.

Biography
Alvarado was born in Bakersfield, California on Feb. 13, 1947, and enlisted in the U. S. Army on July 25, 1968, serving in the Vietnam War. He was killed in action, leaving behind his wife and a young daughter.

Medal of Honor

Alvarado distinguished himself on Aug. 12, 1969, while serving as a rifleman during a mission to relieve a sister platoon, in Phuoc Long Province, Vietnam. Alvarado was killed in action after disrupting an enemy raid and saving the lives of several comrades.

Alvarado's daughter Lenora accepted the Medal of Honor on his behalf from President Barack Obama in a March 18, 2014 White House ceremony.

The award came through the Defense Authorization Act which called for a review of Jewish American and Hispanic American veterans from World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War to ensure that no prejudice was shown to those deserving the Medal of Honor.

Medal of Honor Citation
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:

Specialist Four Leonard L. Alvarado distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a Rifleman with Company D, 2d Battalion, 12th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) during combat operations against an armed enemy in Phuoc Long Province, Republic of Vietnam on August 12, 1969. On that day, as Specialist Four Alvarado and a small reaction force moved through dense jungle en route to a beleaguered friendly platoon, Specialist Four Alvarado detected enemy movement and opened fire. Despite his quick reaction, Specialist Four Alvarado and his comrades were soon pinned down by the hostile force that blocked the path to the trapped platoon. Specialist Four Alvarado quickly moved forward through the hostile machinegun fire in order to engage the enemy troops. Suddenly, an enemy grenade exploded nearby, wounding and momentarily stunning him. Retaliating immediately, he killed the grenadier just as another enemy barrage wounded him again. Specialist Four Alvarado crawled forward through the fusillade to pull several comrades back within the hastily-formed perimeter. Realizing his element needed to break away from the hostile force, Specialist Four Alvarado began maneuvering forward alone. Though repeatedly thrown to the ground by exploding satchel charges, he continued advancing and firing, silencing several emplacements, including one enemy machinegun position. From his dangerous forward position, he persistently laid suppressive fire on the hostile forces, and after the enemy troops had broken contact, his comrades discovered that he had succumbed to his wounds. Specialist Four Alvarado's extraordinary heroism and selflessness at the cost of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty, are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.

Other awards and decorations
In addition to the Medal of Honor, Alvarado received the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal with "V" Device, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with three Bronze Service Stars, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal with "60" Device, Valorous Unit Award, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with Palm Device, Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Honor Medal Unit Citation First Class, Combat Infantryman Badge and the Expert Marksmanship Badge with Rifle, Auto Rifle and Machine-Gun Bars.

Staff Sergeant Conde-Falcon and his company encountered an extensive enemy bunker complex, later identified as a battalion command post. Following tactical artillery and air strikes on the heavily-secured enemy position, Staff Sergeant Conde-Falcon’s platoon was selected to assault and clear the bunker fortifications. Moving out ahead of his platoon, Staff Sergeant Conde-Falcon charged the first bunker, heaving grenades as he went. As the hostile fire increased, he crawled to the blind side of an entrenchment position, jumped to the roof, and tossed a grenade into the bunker aperture. Without hesitating, he proceeded to two additional bunkers, both of which he destroyed in the same manner as the first. Rejoining his platoon, Staff Sergeant Conde-Falcon advanced about one hundred meters through the trees before coming under intense hostile fire. Selecting three men to accompany him, he maneuvered toward the enemy’s flank position. Carrying a machinegun, he single-handedly assaulted the nearest fortification, killing the enemy inside before running out of ammunition. After returning to the three men with his empty weapon and taking up an M-16 rifle, he concentrated on the next bunker. Within ten meters of his goal, Staff Sergeant Conde-Falcon was shot by an unseen assailant and soon died of his wounds.

Copas was born in Fort Pierce, Florida. He joined the U.S. Army on June 18, 1969. During  the Vietnam War, he was killed in Romeas Haek, Cambodia, for which his Distinguished Service Cross was posthumously upgraded to the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Medal of Honor
U.S. Army Specialist 4 Ardie R. Copas distinguished himself on May 12, 1970, while serving as a machine gunner near Ph Romeas Hek, Cambodia. When his convoy was ambushed, Copas repelled the enemy under heavy fire, holding his post while his wounded comrades were evacuated. Copas was killed in action.

Copas' daughter Shyrell Jean Copas accepted the Medal of Honor on his behalf in a March 18, 2014 White House ceremony.

The award came through the Defense Authorization Act which called for a review of Jewish American and Hispanic American veterans from World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War to ensure that no prejudice was shown to those deserving the Medal of Honor.
