title: Tormund Giantsbane

text:
Tormund Giantsbane is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.

Introduced in 2000's A Storm of Swords, he is a renowned wildling leader and chief lieutenant of Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-The-Wall. He subsequently appeared in Martin's A Dance with Dragons. Although initially antagonistic towards Jon Snow and the Night's Watch, he later proves to be a crucial ally in their fight against the White Walkers.

Tormund Giantsbane is portrayed by Norwegian actor Kristofer Hivju in the HBO television adaptation, for which he has received positive reviews.

Character
Tormund, better known as Tormund Giantsbane or Tormund Thunderfist, is a famous wildling raider. On his massive arms he wears golden bands engraved with runes of the First Men, which have been passed down by his forefathers. Tormund is armored with heavy ringmail taken from a dead Night's Watch ranger. Like most of the wildlings, he is illiterate. He has four sons: Toregg, Torwynd, Dryn and Dormund; and one daughter, Munda.

The often jovial Tormund enjoys food and drink, especially ale and mead, and likes cracking dick jokes. He is styled Tall-talker, Horn-blower and Breaker of Ice, Husband to Bears, the Mead-king of Ruddy Hall, Speaker to Gods and Father of Hosts. Mance Rayder named him Horn-blower for the power of Tormund's lungs, as it is said that Tormund can laugh the snow off mountaintops. Although Tormund is said to have slain a giant, he claims to have actually cut open the belly of a sleeping giantess and slept in her for warmth during a winter storm. Tormund claims the giantess, thinking he was a babe, then suckled him for three months in the spring. Tormund also claims to once have drunkenly slept with a bear.

Tormund once thought to make himself King-Beyond-the-Wall, but he was defeated by Mance Rayder. He distrusts the men of the Frozen Shore.

Storylines

In the books
Tormund is not a point of view character in the novels, so his actions are witnessed and interpreted exclusively through the eyes of Jon Snow.

A Storm of Swords

When Jon Snow is captured, Tormund is among those gathered in Mance Rayder's tent when Jon is presented to Mance. Jon is later attached to Tormund's war party, with Ygritte and Longspear Ryk joining as well. Tormund is friendly towards Jon, and Jon grows quite fond of him despite the distrust. Tormund joins in the singing of "The Last of the Giants", and encourages Jon to sleep with Ygritte.

During the battle beneath the Wall, Jon spots Tormund and two of his sons near a siege turtle. When Jon goes to treat with Mance for the Night's Watch, Tormund is the first to greet him. He brings Jon to Mance's tent and defends Jon's right to speak, and during the negotiation Mance threatens to have Tormund blow the Horn of Winter to bring down the Wall. When Stannis Baratheon attacks the wildlings, Tormund leads a triple line of spearmen but are flanked and routed by Stannis's knights. Tormund escapes capture but his son Dormund is killed by Ser Richard Horpe.

A Dance with Dragons

With Mance a captive at Castle Black, Tormund leads a band of four thousand free folk beyond the Wall. He is forced to kill one of his sons, Torwynd, who dies from a chill and later rises as a wight. Tormund's daughter Munda marries Longspear Ryk, much to his chagrin.

Jon Snow, now Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and other officers expect that Tormund will besiege the undermanned Wall again. Jon sends Mance Rayder's sister-in-law Val to find Tormund and bring an offer of peace to him. When Jon meets with Tormund, Tormund dislikes the terms offered by the Night's Watch, but consents due to increasing attacks by the Others and the need to get his people south of the Wall. In accordance with the terms, Tormund has the free folk give their valuables to the Watch to help the Watch pay for food to feed the free folk, while a son is required as a hostage from each of their chiefs, a term implemented to prevent the free folk from raiding the lands belonging to various Westerosi. Tormund gives over his gold wristbands but though Jon insists he keep them due to their personal importance to Tormund, Tormund refuses; he will not let it be said he made the rest of his people give up their wealth while he kept his. Tormund also confides in a sympathetic Jon about the loss of his son.

As part of the peace, the free folk warriors help the Night's Watch brothers garrison the abandoned castles along the Wall to defend it from the Others, while the non-martial free folk will be settled on the Gift and the New Gift. Jon re-garrisons Oakenshield as Tormund's seat, and takes on Tormund's son Dryn as his page. Another son, Toregg, burns the dead to prevent them from becoming wights.

When Cotter Pyke's Eastwatch fleet report back desperate situations at Hardhome, Jon asks Tormund to help him rescue the stranded wildlings there. Later, Jon receives a threatening letter from Ramsay Bolton. Jon discusses the situation with Tormund for two hours. Tormund agrees to lead the ranging to Hardhome in Jon's stead while Jon deals with Ramsay. Jon calls for volunteers to march with him to Winterfell and confront Ramsay and the wildlings volunteer. However, after the meeting, Jon is attacked and stabbed by mutineers led by Bowen Marsh.

In the show
Tormund is played by Kristofer Hivju in the television adaption of the series of books. He is one of Mance's top generals, fierce and terrifying in combat.

Season 3
When Jon Snow first arrives in the wildling camp, Jon initially mistakes Tormund for Mance Rayder, much to Tormund's amusement. Mance directs Tormund to lead a group of wildlings including Jon Snow and his captor, Ygritte, south of the Wall to await the signal of Mance Rayder to attack the Night's Watch.

Season 4
After joining up with a clan of the cannibalistic Thenns, Tormund leads the wildlings in a rampage through the lands south of the Wall, including a sack of Mole's Town. During the Battle of Castle Black, he duels and severely wounds Ser Alliser Thorne, but is brought down by several arrows and taken prisoner. After his wounds are healed by Maester Aemon, Jon briefly talks with him, and Tormund tells Jon that Ygritte loved him, citing Ygritte's apparent desire to kill him as proof. He asks Jon to burn Ygritte's body north of the Wall.

Season 5
Tormund is later present at Mance's execution and is saddened by his friend's death. Jon frees Tormund and they journey to Hardhome, where Tormund attempts to convince the local wildlings to ally with the Night's Watch against the White Walkers. When Hardhome is overrun by wights, Tormund and Jon fight them off and they, along with the surviving wildlings, escape to the boats. Jon takes Tormund and the wildlings south of the Wall and into Westeros.

Season 6
After Jon's assassination by Ser Alliser and his mutineers, Tormund and the wildlings are summoned by Edd Tollett to help capture them. Jon is later resurrected by the red priestess Melisandre, and Tormund tells him that some of the wildlings believe him to be a god. Several days later, Jon's half-sister Sansa Stark arrives at the Wall fleeing her abusive husband Ramsay Bolton. Tormund is attracted to Brienne of Tarth and attempts to court her, although she doesn't seem interested in his advances. After Ramsay sends a letter to Jon threatening to kill Jon's half-brother Rickon and the wildlings if Sansa is not returned, Tormund persuades the wildlings to help Jon and Sansa defeat the Boltons. Tormund later participates in the Battle of the Bastards, killing Lord Smalljon Umber, biting off his ear in the process. Following the battle, he is amongst those who declare Jon King in the North.

Season 7
Jon asks Tormund and the wildlings to reinforce defenses at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, the Night Watch's fortress closest to Hardhome. Later, scouts find the Brotherhood Without Banners and Sandor Clegane attempting to pass through the Wall, and interns them in Eastwatch's ice cells.

Later, Jon, Davos, Jorah Mormont and Gendry arrive, revealing that they need to capture a wight in order to convince Daenerys Targaryen and Cersei Lannister of the White Walkers' existence. Although displeased at having to ally with Jeor Mormont's son, Tormund, the Brotherhood, and the Hound join Jon's allies beyond the Wall. They successfully capture a wight but are soon surrounded by the White Walkers and their army of wights. However, Daenerys arrives with her dragons to rescue them but one of the dragons, Viserion, is killed by the Night King. As the Night King prepares to attack again, they are forced to leave Jon behind when Jon tells them to flee but he manages to return to Eastwatch. Tormund remains at Eastwatch while Jon, Daenerys, the Hound, and Jorah travel to King's Landing.

Soon after, the White Walkers and their army finally march on the Wall. The Night King, which has reanimated Viserion, uses the dragon to destroy Eastwatch and the section of the Wall behind the castle, allowing the army of the dead to march on the Seven Kingdoms and seemingly trapping Tormund and Beric Dondarrion on top of the remaining part of the Wall.

Season 8
Tormund and Beric manage to escape the Wall and retreat to Winterfell. Along the way, they stop at Last Hearth and find it has already been overwhelmed by the White Walkers. They encounter Dolorous Edd and the Night's Watch. Tormund realises that they must reach Winterfell to warn its defenders of the dead's proximity, and arrive on the eve of the White Walkers' arrival. Tormund fights in the ensuing battle and is amongst the survivors when the Night King is finally defeated. Afterward, Tormund tells Jon that he and his people are returning to their lands beyond the Wall after the worst of winter has passed. Jon asks him to take his direwolf, Ghost, with him, saying Ghost belongs in the far North.

Following Daenerys massacring King's Landing after the city surrenders to her, Jon tries but fails to dissuade her from more destruction and ultimately assassinates her, for which he is exiled to the Night's Watch. Tormund and Ghost are reunited with Jon when he arrives at Castle Black. Jon and Ghost accompany Tormund as he leads the wildlings to return to their lands beyond the Wall.

title: Oaklawn (Huntsville, Alabama)

text:
Oaklawn (also known as the John Robinson House and the Robinson-Dilworth House) is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built in 1844 by John Robinson, a longtime revenue commissioner in Madison County who became one of the county's largest landowners. During the Civil War, the house was used by the Union Army as an officers' quarters. The family vacated the house in the late 19th century, and during the Spanish–American War, the grounds were used as an army camp and hospital. In 1919, the house was purchased by the Dilworth family and restored from its poor condition. The house was later owned by Max Luther, a prominent local merchant.

The Greek Revival house has a five-bay main block with two attached wings to the sides, an unusual layout for the time in Alabama. A portico spans the center three bays, and has four smooth Doric columns supporting a plain entablature and pediment. Pilasters with Doric capitals are present on the corners of both the main block and the wings, as well as terminating the portico.  The main block has a gable roof, while the one-story wings have flat roofs with deep cornices forming parapets.  There are four interior chimneys in the main block, and one each in the wings.  The double entry doors have multi-pane sidelights and a transom. The interior is laid out with a large central hall on both floors, flanked by a pair of rooms on each side.  Each wing features one room, with extensions built in the 1920s containing bathrooms. A kitchen was added to the rear in the 1940s.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

title: I Love Maria

text:
I Love Maria (also known as Roboforce) is a 1988 Hong Kong science fiction film directed by David Chung, produced by Tsui Hark and John Shum, and starring Hark and Shum alongside Sally Yeh, Tony Leung and Lam Ching-ying.

Plot
On one evening, Hong Kong's largest gang, the Hero Gang, uses an armed robot named Pioneer I to rob a bank and the police was unable to stop it. Maria (Sally Yeh) is a loyal member to the Hero Gang and its leader (Ben Lam) and did not hesitate to kill the mechanical maintenance staff who tried to escape. Master (Lam Ching-ying), an elder member of the gang was dissatisfied with Maria's style of cold-blooded killing. Maria later discovers that the leader is obsessed with robots and he created a female armed robot named Pioneer II, which was modeled after Maria's face. This leads Maria to develop a strong hatred towards Pioneer II.

Reporter Chong Chi Keung (Tony Leung) was fired because he was unable to photograph Pioneer I during the bank robbery. Curly (John Shum), who works at the Research Department of the police force, invents a cannon that may be able to fight robots, which attracts jealousy from his superior. Whiskey (Tsui Hark), a young member of the Hero Gang, feels dissatisfied about the gang's development and resigns. Later, Whiskey meets and befriends Curly at a bar and he is suspected to have betrayed the gang and the Hero Gang sends Pioneer II to kill him. While chasing Whiskey, Pioneer II malfunctions and is taken away by Whiskey (who has a secret crush on Maria) and Curly. Afterwards, Curly was wanted by the police for suspected collision with the Hero Gang.

Curly and Whiskey flees with the malfunctioned Pioneer II to a shack where Curly repairs its vanguard and reprogrammed it so that would only obey his commands, which also inadvertently causes it to produce human responses. Maria then brings Pioneer I to the shack to kill Whiskey. Curly commands Pioneer II to attack Pioneer I but the latter was armed with a "Counteract Bullets Device" making the former's attack ineffective. At this time, Master comes in masked and helps Whiskey and Curly escape the gang and flee to s shipyard. Reporter Chong also tracks them to the shipyard and performs a comedy skit with Pioneer II, who is gradually developing more human reactions. Chong then informs the police and Curly and Whiskey were arrested while Pioneer II fell into the hands of the Hero Gang again to be reprogrammed.

Later, Chong begins to sympathize for Curly and Whiskey and sneaks into the base of the Hero Gang. With the hep of Master, Chong was able to escape with Pioneer II from there while Master gets into a fight. Master, who raised every member of the gang from childhood, was dissatisfied with the gang's recent development and wants to terminate the leader's plan to create robots. When he was fighting with the leader, Master discovers that he himself has been made into a robot by the leader. Master soon lost the fight and was captured.

Chong gets Pioneer II to help Curly and Whiskey to escape from prison where afterwards, the four of them bring Curly's cannons to confront the Hero Gang at its base. Pioneer II fights the gang, Curly and Whiskey installs cannons around the base and Chong goes to save the soon-to-be executed Master. After defeating the gang, however, Pioneer II was captured by Pioneer I and Curly and Whiskey were suppressed by Maria and were unable to fire the cannons. At this time, Whiskey knocks down Maria to save Pioneer II and Pioneer II also ignores her own safety and shoots a cannon near herself and Pioneer I and destroys the robot it while saving Curly and Whiskey. The leader wants to activate the giant robot Pioneer III: The Ultimate Pioneer and escape. As the leader enters the navigation space of the robot, he was kicked off by Chong and Master whom had earlier sneaked in. Master and the leader fight on top of the robot's shoulder where Master uses the robots' giant joint to defeat the leader. Chong, however, mishandled the robot and flew up in the air but fortunately, Chong and Master successfully jumped out. The leader falls to his death from the roof and Maria also jumps off to die with him.

In the end, Curly, Whiskey and the now anthropomorphic Pioneer II lead a happy lives together while Chong dashingly abandons the pictures he took.

title: Hrere

text:
Hrere (sometimes spelled as Hrēre or Herere; ḥrr.t, "flower") was an ancient Egyptian noble lady of the late 20th-early 21st dynasties of Egypt.
Although during her life she must have been an influential person, not much is known for certain about her  family relationships. The names of her parents have not come down to us and the identity of her husband is not beyond dispute. She is often seen as either the wife or grandmother of the High Priest at Thebes, Piankh, but it has also been suggested that she may have been the wife of the High Priest Amenhotep.

As will be explained below, Hrere’s exact place in the family of Theban High Priests ultimately depends on two factors, neither of which has yet been resolved:

 the identity of her daughter Nodjmet
 the relative order of Herihor and Piankh

Her relation to Nodjmet
The only thing which can be established beyond doubt is that she was the mother of the lady Nodjmet whose mummy and funerary outfit have been found in the Great Royal Cache near Deir el Bahri.
With the mummy of this Nodjmet two Books of the Dead, were found.
One of them, Papyrus BM 10490, now in the British museum, belonged to “the King’s Mother Nodjmet, the daughter of the King’s Mother Hrere”. Whereas the name of Nodjmet was written in a cartouche, the name of Hrere was not. Since mostly this Nodjmet is seen as the wife of the High Priest Herihor, who is also attested with royal titles, Hrere’s title is often interpreted as “King’s Mother-in-law”, although her title “who bore the Strong Bull” suggests that she actually must have given birth to a king.

However, recently, the common opinion that there was only one Queen Nodjmet has been challenged and the old view that the mummy found in the Royal Cache was that of the mother of Herihor rather than his wife has been revived. Although it is beyond dispute that Herihor had a queen called Nodjmet (this was already recognised by Champollion), Édouard Naville postulated in 1878 that Herihor must have had a mother called Nodjmet. He did so on the basis of Papyrus BM 10541, the other Book of the Dead found with her mummy. It is indeed remarkable that, although Herihor figures in P. BM 10541, Nodjmet nowhere in either of her two Books of the Dead is designated as “King’s Wife”. All the stress is on her position as “King’s Mother”, as if this was her only title relevant in relation to Herihor. The ruling family from the transitional period from the 20th to the 21st dynasty is notorious for the repetitiveness of names, so Herihor having a homonymous wife and mother would in itself not be impossible or unlikely. If the Nodjmet from the Royal Cache was indeed the mother of Herihor, it follows that Hrere must have been the grandmother of Herihor rather than his mother(-in-law). In this position she could well have been the wife of the High Priest Amenhotep. However, the debate on this issue is still going on.

The Late Ramesside Letters
One of the “Late Ramesside Letters”, letter no.2, written by the Scribe of the Necropolis Dhutmose, mentions Hrere as being in Elephantine during a military expedition of Piankh. Since this seemed to imply that Piankh had his grandmother accompany him on the first part of a dangerous campaign, M. Bierbrier suggested that besides a Hrere A, the mother of Nodjmet, there may have been a Hrere B, the daughter of Nodjmet and the wife of Piankh.
The need for a second Hrere more or less ceased to exist when Karl Jansen-Winkeln proposed to put the pontificate of Piankh before that of Herihor. In his model there was only one Hrere, who was both the wife of Piankh and the mother-in-law of Herihor. Her title “who bore the Strong Bull” now became related to her being the mother of the High Priest Pinedjem, who is believed to have taken on semi-royal status later in his career.

title: Jakotina (river)

text:
The Jakotina (Serbian Cyrillic: Јакотина)  is a left tributary of the Vrbanja river. It rises on the north-eastern slopes of the mountains Čemernica (at about 1,050 meters above sea level) in the area Rađići village. This locality is above the regional road Banja Luka - Kneževo. The length of this river is about 20 kilometers. Along its course, in the 1970s there were at least 10 water-mills. Its mouth is in the Kotor Varoš, about 200 meters downstream from the old bazaar.
After a watershed with Cvrcka (also tributary of Vrbanja), and tributaries of Ugar, Jakotina has a relatively short and deep canyon (depth of about 300 meters). The canyon spreads to the mouth Grabačevac, its richest tributary. Near Kotor Varoš there is also one small and one large waterfall (300 meters above sea level). Large waterfall is called "Bobas"; its height is about seven metres.

On the right slopes above the waterfall there is a source of drinking water that centuries has been connected with popular legends. Above Bobas, there are still remains of the city walls of the medieval town of Kotor (563 m). Up until the end of the World War II, the ruins of a fortress jails and staircase communication between them were preserved. The diameter of the bell on the tower was 5 meters. It is not preserved and the fort was abandoned today

During the War in Bosnia (1992-1995), the old bridge on Bobas was destroyed, but (after 1996) "renewed with the support of the European Union".

Along Jakotina there is regional road from Kotor Varoš to Kneževo, with access to the road to Travnik  (alternative: over  Ilomska or Ugar, and Banja Luka.

On Bobas, this river divides settlements Kotor (mostly Bosniaks) and Čepak  (mostly Croatian). During the War in Bosnia 1992–1995, the inhabitants of these town were killed or displaced, as well as other Bosniaks and Croats citizens of the municipality of Kotor Varoš (1992). All non-Serbs settlements in the valley of Vrbanja were extremely devastated, from Kruševo Brdo to Banja Luka.

title: Walking football

text:
Walking football is a variant of association football that is aimed at keeping people aged over 50 involved with football if, due to a lack of mobility or for other reasons, they are not able to play the traditional game. The sport can be played both indoors and outdoors. Walking football was devised as a competitive sport by John Croot of Chesterfield FC.
Coverage of a walking football session, initially believed to be an April Fools' joke, on Sky Sports News and in a documentary aired on Sky Sports Football in October 2017, led to several other clubs taking up this version of the game. It has since become a current craze.

There are now thousands of teams and session all over the UK with players now featuring in over 50s, over 60s and over 70s teams. The sport has also proved popular with women over 40.

Though based on association football (albeit with more than 50 differences), the key difference from standard football is that if a player runs then they concede a free kick to the other side. This restriction, together with a ban on slide tackles, is aimed both at avoiding injuries and facilitating the playing of the sport by those who are physically disadvantaged. The manner in which the sport is played promotes cardiovascular fitness whilst reducing stress on the body. It also helps participants maintain an active lifestyle.

In walking football the game was originally played without goalkeepers (though goalkeepers now play in some variations) and, crucially, the ball must never be kicked above head height. Different footballs are used in the indoor and the outdoor variations of the sport. When played indoors, a size 4 futsal ball is used. Outdoor games involve a traditional football. The size of the pitch can vary to suit different locations. The length should be from 20 to 40 yards and the width between 15 and 30 yards.

The sport came to wider public attention in July 2014, when Barclays Bank aired a television advertisement featuring walking football to promote its services.

The governing body of walking football in England is the Walking Football Association. Wales and Scotland have their own governing bodies.

In 2018 an international governing body was established to help promote and coordinate international matches between nations. This body, the Federation of International Walking Football Associations (FIWFA),  is based in the UK.

Similar slower-paced sports include walking netball, walking rugby,  walking basketball, walking hockey (based on field hockey) and walking cricket.

Walking Football World Cup

Although there were discussions about holding the first Walking Football World Cup in England in 2020, the World Cup tournament. will be held in Derby in 2023, with 32 teams in the over 50s and over 60s age bracket. Teams from Asia, Africa, South America and Europe will take part.

title: Sagada orange

text:
The Sagada orange is a variety of orange grown in the Cordillera region of the Philippines. The variety was first developed by the Department of Agriculture and was first propagated in Kalinga. The fruit due to being larger than an average orange became popular in Sagada, Mountain Province and gained reputation as a "giant orange" variety hence the name of the orange variety. The Sagada orange skin is color orange with green patches.

It was reported that local merchants from tourist destinations in the Cordilleras such as Baguio and even as far as in Divisoria marketplace in Manila, were labeling larger oranges from China as "Sagada oranges". The Sagada orange was named “Mislabeled of the Year" by Baguio newspaper Midland Courier. The oranges from China were cheaper and larger but less sweet than the Sagada variety. The Chinese oranges sold has a brighter orange color than the Sagada orange. Midland Courier criticized as unethical the practice of merchants deliberately mislabeling oranges from China as "Sagada oranges".

In 2001 Cynthia Wechselberger replaced Stefan Ritter as singer.

no:carrier have released five studio albums and several EPs and Singles to date. Their last studio album Wisdom & Failure was released on April 29, 2014.

History

no:carrier started off in Germany as an EBM band, consisting of Chris Wirsig and Stefan Ritter. Their first official release was the tape death:row in 1996, followed by processing in fall 1997, which was a solo project by Chris Wirsig after Stefan Ritter had left the band.

In 2001 singer Cynthia Wechselberger joined as the new singer and their style changed from EBM to Electro pop, Synthpop and Dark wave. In March 2002 the band released the album My Own Dream on their own label Electric Heresy. It received good reviews in several German electronic and dark music magazines, like Orkus, Electrocution, Dark Obsession and Black.

After Electric Heresy had been shut down for the time being in September 2003, no:carrier signed with the German label electric stars that re-released My Own Dream with a new packaging. In 2005 the band released the song Mr. Einstein, that was featured on NovaTune's Einstein tribute album mc2. Two years later Chris Wirsig re-activated the label Electric Heresy and re-released the first album in its original format including the 8-page booklet. One year later no:carrier wrote the music for the song Defensless on the album The 11th Hour by the Synthpop band Psyche.

Completely new songs were released in 2009: After the two digital singles Cask Of Wonders and Sin Of Regret the new album Between The Chairs was published by the end of the year. Also this album got good reviews in European magazines, e.g. in Sonic Seducer, Side-Line, Dark Spy, madgoth.de and Amboss-Mag. In the summer of 2011 Perfectly Safe, a third digital single from the album was released along with a video.

In 2012 Chris Wirsig relocated to San Francisco while Cynthia Wechselberger stayed in Germany, but the band decided to continue nevertheless.

From June 2013 on no:carrier set the stage for the publication of their third album Wisdom & Failure by releasing the singles/EPs Last Scene, The Nine Days' Queen (devoted to the life of Lady Jane Grey), and Confession. Wisdom & Failure was released on Electric Heresy for the US market on April 29 and in Europe on May 2, 2014. The publication was accompanied by a tour through California and Las Vegas, the official CD release party was at the Viper Room in West Hollywood. The performance from this night was released on the free download Live At The Viper Room, Los Angeles.

The album, as well as the EP and the singles, were reviewed in many publications in North America and Europe, such as The Big Takeover Side-Line Punknews.org Soletron Digital Journal

In May 2015 the band released four cover version (a first for them) of rather unusual songs for an electro band ("The Boys of Summer (song)" by Don Henley, "California" by Belinda Carlisle, "Room With A View" by Tony Carey and the Irish traditional "She Moved Through The Fair", which melody also was used by the Simple Minds in their song "Belfast Child"). This EP, "Ghosts Of The West Coast," is showing the dark side of California and the American Dream, says the band. For the first time no:carrier also worked with guest singers from California on this release including Kalib DuArte from the band Audio Terrorist.

After Chris Wirsig's move to Los Angeles the band grew with more guest vocalists and released the album "Broken Rainbow - Songs for an Apocalyptic World" in November 2016. The song Your Heroin was released as video single shortly before that. Apart from Cynthia Wechselberger and Chris Wirsig the current lineup of no:carrier also lists the singers Lauralee Brown, Liza Marie Sparks, Scilla Hess and Bobby Halvorson. With "Bad Moon Rising" the album also contains another cover version.

title: Electrotettix

text:
Electrotettix is an extinct genus of pygmy locust found in amber collected in the Dominican Republic.  Represented by a single species, Electrotettix attenboroughi, which lived 18-20 million years ago, it fed primarily on moss, fungi, and algae.  The genus name is derived from electrum, Latin for "amber", and Greek tettix, meaning "grasshopper".  The species was named after Sir David Attenborough.  The female measures 8 millimeters in length: the male is unknown.  The species is distinguished from modern members of the Cladonotinae subfamily by the fact that it retains vestigial wings, a feature lost somewhere between the ancient specimens and more modern species.  E. attenboroughi was identified from a collection of amber at the Illinois Natural History Survey, which had been stored in a cabinet under a sink since it was collected in the 1950s by entomologist Milton Sanderson.

title: Alma Lloyd

text:
Alma Lloyd (April 3, 1914 – June 14, 1988) was an American actress. She is best known for her roles in If I Were King as Colette, Song of the Saddle as Jen Coburn, and The Big Noise as Betty Trent.

Family background and personal life
Lloyd was the daughter of film director Frank Lloyd. She was the only child of Frank and his wife Alma Haller, who was a vaudeville actress.

On November 11, 1939, she and actor, playwright Franklin Gray were married in Los Angeles. They had  met five years earlier on a theater guild production. She left acting to raise a family. She had four children, Christopher who was born in 1942, Antonia born in 1947, Jonathan born in 1951 and Miranda who was born in 1954.

She died on June 14, 1988, aged 74. Her last place of residence was in California.

Her daughter Antonia aka Tonia Guerrero is a retired teacher and translator who as of 2008 was living in Santa Barbara. She has been vocal about preserving the older films as well as introducing Frank Lloyd's films. Two of Alma Lloyd's other children Christopher Gray and Miranda Gray are involved in film. Chris makes documentary films and Miranda is a film editor.

Career
Prior to her film entry as an adult, she had acted on stage and had done reasonably well. She had started out at the Pasadena Community Playhouse. She had also had a couple of acting roles as a child with one in a film that her father was in, playing a villain. In July 1935, she was signed up by Warner Brothers in a long-term contract.  In late 1935, along with, among others, Kay Linaker, June Travis, Paula Stone, and Marie Wilson, she was picked for stardom. It was predicted that she along with them would be a fully fledged star by 1938. Also that year, she was pictured in the May 22 edition of the Nashua Telegraph presenting a winners trophy to athlete Frank Wykoff.

In an article that ran in the Chicago Daily Tribune, March 13, 1936 edition, she said that her father was a burden to her career. She said that he embarrassed her friends with his questions, checking up on her and asking people such as Guy Kibbee if she had any talent. She also said that his taking her out and showing her off was affecting her studying her lines and doing her rehearsals.

Film work
At the age of eleven she had a small part in The Wise Guy which her father directed.

She was the co-star of the Louis King directed film Song of the Saddle. She played the part of Jen Coburn. This film which was released in 1936 also starred Dick Foran and Charles Middleton. Her role contributed to the appeal of the film. In the 1936 film The Big Noise aka Modern Madness, she played Betty Trent, a young woman who falls in love with her father's business partner Warren Hull, played by Ken Mitchell. The film plot also involves an extortion plot by gangsters who attempt to get money from her father and her lover.<ref>Herald-Journal July 5, 1936 Page 8 Comedy-Drama At The State</ref> In the November 27 edition of The Lewiston Daily Sun, she was listed along with Claude Rains, Olivia de Havilland and Steffi Duna as the latest cast editions to the Warner Bros. film Anthony Adverse. She played the part of Florence Udney as an adult in the film.Signature Entertainment Memorabilia Auction Page 19 20092 "Anthony Adverse" Shots She had prepared for the role and put in time studying day and night for her role. According to her co-stars, the director and producer, her work was noteworthy. Her scenes with Fredric March were said to be particular outstanding. The publicity prior to the film's completion indicated or predicted that her part would be one of the most brilliant in the production. When she attended the film's preview with her parents and friends, she was shocked to discover that all of her work had been cut from the film. The reason given was one of excessive footage.Hollywood Jan-Dec 1936 Page 32 Features for December, Death On The Cutting Room Floor! How Alma Was "Killed" Apparently what had happened to Alma Lloyd in Anthony Adverse had happened to other actors in other films. Similarly Valerie Hobson had her work cut from Great Expectations as did Sara Haden with her work in A Midsummer Nights Dream.Hollywood Jan-Dec 1936 Page 63 Death on the Cutting Room Floor (Continued from Page Thirty-Two), Many Other Instances

1937 onwards
In 1938,  even though she was one of the principal supporting actors,Evening Post 25 August 1938 Page 21 Busy Period and even though an important role, it was less prominent than usual featured role as Colette in the film If I Were King. It was both directed and produced by her father Frank Lloyd. In spite of her star which earlier appeared to be on the rise with a co-starring role like she had in Song of the Saddle, and unlike Ellen Drew who also acted with her in If I Were King'', her career slowed down.

title: The Peep Tempel

text:
The Peep Tempel was a punk rock band from Melbourne, Australia. The band's line-up for most of its tenure was Blake Scott (vocals, guitar), Steven Carter (drums) and Stewart Rayner (bass guitar). The band released three studio albums: The Peep Tempel (2012), Tales (2014) and Joy (2016).

History

2008–2013: formation and The Peep Tempel
The Peep Tempel was formed in 2008 as a two-piece by singer-songwriter Blake Scott and drummer Steven Carter who were neighbours at the time. As a two-piece, the band recorded in their own home studio and released two 7-inch singles through the imprint Wing Sing. The band's name came from a strip club in Vienna.

In late 2011, Stewart Rayner joined the band to play bass guitar and during 2012 the band toured both in Australia and Europe as a three-piece.

In 2011 The Peep Tempel invited Matthew Duffy, who had recorded the band's first two singles along with Clinton Kraus, to join the band to play bass guitar for their debut studio album. The Peep Tempel recorded and released their debut album The Peep Tempel in 2012 through Wing Sing. The Peep Tempel was nominated in the category of Best Independent Hard Rock or Punk Album at the AIR Awards of 2012.

In 2013, the band recorded the EP Modern Professional, which was released through Wing Sing in June 2013.

2014–2017: Tales & Joy
In 2014 the band recorded their second studio album Tales, which was released through Wing Sing in October 2014. Tales was shortlisted for the 2014 Australian Music Prize and nominated in the category of Best Independent Hard Rock, Heavy or Punk Album at the AIR Awards of 2015.

"Carol," a song featured on Tales, was shortlisted for the 2014 Song of the Year APRA Awards (Australia) and nominated in the category of Best Song at the Music Victoria Awards of 2015.

In 2016, The Peep Tempel recorded their third album Joy at Sing Sing Studios with Anna Laverty. The album was released 14 October 2016. The band played their final shows in 2017 before entering an indefinite hiatus.

Since the band's hiatus, Carter and Rayner have formed a new band, Shepparton Airplane. Scott, meanwhile, released his debut solo album Niscitam in October 2020.

title: Unturned

text:
Unturned is a free-to-play survival game by Smartly Dressed Games, a studio consisting solely of Canadian game designer Nelson Sexton. It was released for Windows, macOS, and Linux in July 2014. Unturned allows players to create custom maps using an in-game editor. Cosmetics and mods can also be created using the game's Unity engine, which allows them to publish creations on the Steam Workshop. A retail version of the game was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One by 505 Games in November 2020.

Gameplay

Unturned features several different game modes, all of which consist of the same basic concept of zombie survival. The game also has multiple difficulty settings.

In the survival game mode, the player's character is spawned on a game map with clothes depending on their skill set.  Players must find weapons and supplies to survive against the zombies. As the player progresses through the game, they gain experience points which can then be used for upgrades or, on certain maps, as a currency for trading. Survival mode is also available in multiplayer. The greater aim is to survive, but the players may team-up or fight each other. Players must keep up their health, food and water, and radiation levels. Radiation damage can be obtained from getting hit by zombies or entering "deadzones" without proper hazmat protection. The game's multiplayer option has created a platform for multiple kinds of gameplay, such as survival, roleplay, creative, paintball and a battle royale like arena style arena matches. The game has a chance to give players a cosmetic item, like clothing or effects for their character, or camouflage or skins for weapons. Players can purchase keys, cases, and other items from the Steam Market.
The game supports the use of the steam workshop to add custom items, vehicles, armor, and weapons to either enhance or change the basic experience. Many popular user-created maps are curated, and many custom skins for items in the base game are added with updates. However, although the game supports mods, the game's files are closed source and players cannot add new categories of assets, they instead must place their creations in an already existing category.

The game has several maps available. Arena game mode is for multiplayer only. Players are spawned in the middle of a map with supplies and weapons scattered around. The winner is the last person, or the last team, alive. Players may die due to being slain by other players or by crossing the boundaries of the map. The game will also spawn helpful items like armor, attachments for guns, and the 3 types of health items. These items are essential, as the game has an intense bleeding out mechanic that can finish a player without medical supplies. The game will also spawn vehicles, which can enable players to avoid the border or roadkill other players. The arena mode grants a massive advantage to teams in arena mode. Since there is no separated solo/squad modes, solo players will be up against teams who can aid each other. The game does not require teams to fight each other, so multiple players can win.

Plot
The game's story is spread out across all of its maps. On the Washington map, there is a lab belonging to a company known as Scorpion-7. Outside the lab, there is an overrun military unit and within the building, in the basement, there are canisters containing zombies in stasis, one of which is broken. An apology note can also be found in which it appears the writer was attacked before the note was completed. It is assumed that this lab was ground zero for the start of the outbreak. The exact origin and the cause of the outbreak remain vague, but it is heavily implied that the virus was inadvertently created through bioweapons research the company was conducting, and the outbreak was caused by the escape of a test subject from their containment. The player is introduced as one of the few survivors, alluding to the idea that the player has not "turned" into a zombie. The player can help the Coalition, the organization fighting the outbreak and locating survivors.

Development
Unturned was developed by Nelson Sexton, an indie game developer from Calgary, Canada. He was only sixteen years old at the time of Unturned first release. Sexton started his career with Roblox, creating two of the most-popular games on the platform at that time, Battlefield and Deadzone. Deadzone was a zombie-survival game similar to Unturned. Neither of Nelson's original Roblox games are still on Roblox, as they were both made private due to security issues which resulted in Roblox being flooded with copies of both games.

Unturned was originally listed on Steam Greenlight as 'Unturned 2.0' in May 2014. The game was released out of early access on July 7, 2017. Sexton plans to create a sequel to the game named Unturned II using Unreal Engine. The development of the sequel has since been put on hold.

Reception
According to gaming website Kotaku, Unturned was one of the most-popular games on Steam in mid-2014. Both Kotaku and Rock, Paper, Shotgun characterized the game's popularity as unexpected, since the game is mainly developed by a single person without a major studio's resources. PC Gamer said that while Unturned had few real ideas on its own, it was a "simple, accessible survival-simulator" that players may enjoy provided they could "stomach the low production values". In October 2022 the game broke its peak lifetime player count record with 93,161 concurrent players.

The launch of the console port of Unturned came with poor reception as the trailer was very disconnected from the actual game.

title: Aphaenogaster sommerfeldti

text:
Aphaenogaster sommerfeldti is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a group of Middle Eocene fossils found in Europe. A. sommerfeldti is one of three species in the ant genus Aphaenogaster to have been noted from fossils found in Baltic amber by William Morton Wheeler.

History and classification
When first examined, Aphaenogaster sommerfeldti was described from a pair of type specimen workers which are fossilized as inclusions in transparent chunks of Baltic amber.  Baltic amber is approximately forty six million years old, having been deposited during Lutetian stage of the Middle Eocene.  There is debate on what plant family the amber was produced by, with evidence supporting relatives of either an Agathis relative or a Pseudolarix relative.  All the type specimens were collected over 125 years ago, and when first described were part of the University of Königsberg amber collection.  The fossils were first studied by Austrian entomologist Gustav Mayr who placed the species in the genus Aphaenogaster.  Mayr's 1868 type description of the new species was published in the Königsberg journal Beiträge zur Naturkunde Preussens.

William Morton Wheeler in his 1915 paper The ants of the Baltic amber noted that the University of Königsberg collections then contained a total of fourteen workers, plus one unnumbered specimen.  An additional three were present in the private collection of Professor Richard Klebs, who first interested Wheeler on working with Baltic amber ant specimens.  Alongside A. sommerfeldti, three other Aphaenogaster species are known from European amber fossil, A. antiqua, A. mersa, and A. oligocenica. While both A. oligocenica and A. sommerfeldti are known from Baltic and Bitterfeld amber, A. mersa has only been found in Baltic amber and A. antiqua from Rovno amber.

Description
Overall Aphaenogaster sommerfeldti can be distinguished from the related Baltic amber species A. oligocenica in several ways.  A. sommerfeldti individuals have an overall more sloped and curved mesonotum with the epinotum showing more tooth liked projections on the surface then seen in A. oligocenica.  The other Baltic amber species, A. mersa, shows a more extensive amount of rugose structuring to the head, thorax, and body, with a reticulation in the structuring, while that of A. sommerfeldti is a longitudinal striate pattern.  A. sommerfeldti shows a similar morphology to the living species A. subterranea from the warmer areas of southern Europe.  The two species differ in the more upright spines on the epinotum of A. sommerfeldti.  The head capsule of A. sommerfeldti is slimmer with thinner antenna segments and more complex rugosity on the rear of the capsule.

title: Aegidientorplatz

text:
Aegidien Gate Square () is a busy square known colloquially as  in Hanover, Germany. Located above a subway station of the same name, the square was named for the Aegidien Gate (), one of the city gates of medieval Hanover. While the gate was removed in 1780, the square is still named after it.

Aegidien Gate

The Aegidien Gate () was the southeastern gate in the  Through it the road from Hildesheim entered the city. Its name derived from the nearby Aegidien Church, although it was occasionally also written as .

First built in 1307 as a multi-story inner tower-gate with a passageway, it stood in the middle of Broad Street (). During the renovation of the city walls in 1504, a ward was built outside the walls, right next to the outer gatehouse (roughly in the middle of the modern Aegidien Gate Square). After that, visitors entered the city by passing over the moat on a drawbridge, through the outer gatehouse, over a second bridge and through the inner gate. This arrangement was removed in the dismantling of the civic fortifications from 1763. Today there is a plaque at 7/10 Broad Street, marking the former location of the medieval inner tower-gate. The tower was demolished in 1748 by mayor  to make way for

Outside the gate was the settlement of  Established in the 9th century, and thus predating the fortifications and gate, it was abandoned in the 15th century.

Aegidien Gate Square
In the course of slighting the civic fortifications after 1780, the remnants of the gate structure were demolished and the location occupied by the Aegidien Gate Square around 1844. A checkpoint (somewhere near the end of ) and a more decorative gate structure took over the last remaining functions of the city gate. This structure was itself demolished in 1859.

The square has been characterised by a severely geometrical, classicising arrangement of streets for a long time. From 1872, a horsecar stopped at the square, linking it to Kröpcke via

As a result of the conversion of Hanover's main roads into the Cityring in the 1950s, the square was made significantly more spacious. Beginning in September 1968, an overpass was constructed above the square as part of the inner city ring, despite five construction stoppages to allow the construction of the Hanover Stadtbahn. It was opened to traffic on 1 November 1968. This street, known as Aegi Overpass, was originally intended as a temporary measure. However, it remained in use until it was demolished on 17–18 October 1998. The Aegi Overpass often had to be closed in winter due to ice build up, was only authorised for cars weighing less than , and was limited to a top speed of .

Planning for the reconstruction and renovation of the square began in 1996. At this time the Stadtbahn line 10 ended at  (now the site of the NORD/LB building). By rearranging the Stadtbahn and demolishing the dilapidated overpass, a completely new arrangement was to be produced. This plan followed a general plan of the civil engineering department of the city of Hanover and TransTeC-bau, a subsidiary of üstra. From the end of 1997 until 1999, the square was completely rebuilt. The Stadtbahn received a raised rail platform designed by the architectural firm Wiege and ran from  to the entrance of Aegidien Gate Square. The space that was opened up by the demolition of the overpass was used for additional turning lanes and also for a central bus lane.

Before the beginning of this project there was much discussion of whether the square could deal with its traffic load without the overpass. Traffic jams were predicted in all directions by many critics. The experience has been that these predictions were not correct.

In 2003 planning began for further renovations, which would begin in November 2004, after the waiting period for the previous project imposed by the Municipal Transport Financing Act had expired. The bus lane created in the previous project would be abandoned as far as the intersection with  to permit an easier route for the buses. Some of the space was used for a new lane in the direction of the street . The remaining space was converted into the so-called Aegidien Forest (), designed by Dominik Geilker and Stefanie Schmoll, landscape architecture students at the Leibniz University Hannover, who were supervised by Professor Udo Weilacher and civil engineer Thomas Göbel-Groß. The planning and project management of the project was the responsibility of the architectural firm of

Buildings
Directly at the Aegidien Gate Square is the Theatre at Aegi, built in 1953, which has been a privately operated theatre for external performances since 1994. At the northern end of the square is an office complex used by Nord/LB. The ensemble consists of five buildings, including a high-rise building with nine stories. The travertine clad buildings were erected between 1956 and 1958.

At the northeastern end of the square is the Hansa House () between the intersections of  and . This was erected in 1905–06, originally in the neo-baroque style. The Hanover savings bank, , established its headquarters here in 1922 and installed counters on the ground floor. The artist and architect  later lived in one of the rooms above it. It is now a listed building.

A notable example of urban planning on Aegidien Gate Square is the massive headquarters of Nord/LB. Of architectural interest is the so-called Gate House Hanover () located between  and . This building overhangs the sidewalk by several metres, but for structural reasons could not rest on the station below it. The weight of this portion of the building is therefore borne by large steel beams extending into the back part of the building.

On the east side of the theatre, an office building of the accounting firm Deloitte was completed in June 2014. Initially, the Hanoverian architecture firm BKSP planned an office building with nine stories, later this was raised to ten. The façade of the new building, made of white concrete and natural stone should match the old Nord/LB building opposite it. On the same location, at the intersection with Hildesheimer Straße is an office building of  from 1950.

For the bus stops of lines 100 and 120 on the square, Jasper Morrison designed functionalist stop as part of the art project

Subway station

The Aegidien Gate Square subway station of the Hanover stadtbahn is an interchange station for the B and C lines. On two directional platforms located one above the other, it is possible to transfer without passing through any barriers.

On the lowest level (-3) the trains on lines 4, 5, 6, and 11 head from  towards  (C-line) and the trains on lines 1, 2 and 8 head towards  (B-line). At the level above (-2), trains on the other lines head into the city, in the direction of Kröpcke.

On the connecting level (-1) of the station (exiting on to ) a wall features a large reproduction of the Aegidien Gate as it appeared in 1620 according to  book . The walls of the station have images of the old gate as decorative elements.

title: In Advance of the Broken Arm

text:
In Advance of the Broken Arm, also called Prelude to a Broken Arm, is a 1915 sculpture by Dada artist Marcel Duchamp that consisted of a regular snow shovel with "from Marcel Duchamp 1915" painted on the handle. One explanation for the title is that without the shovel to remove snow, one might fall and break an arm. This type of humor is not atypical of dadaist work.

An antidote to what Duchamp called "retinal art", In Advance of the Broken Arm was the second of a series of sculptures that he named "ready-mades", the most famous of which is his 1917 Fountain. At the time, the term "ready-made" referred to manufactured goods as opposed to handmade goods, but Duchamp used the term to describe "an ordinary object elevated to the dignity of a work of art by the mere choice of an artist".

The original was hung from a wire in the studio and has since been lost. A replica of the sculpture is on display at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut.

title: Zerocater

text:
ZeroCater is a food service company headquartered in San Francisco, California, specializing in providing companies with catered meals from local restaurants, caterers, and food trucks. The company expanded its offerings in 2017 to include a fully customizable solution for office snacking called ZeroCater Snacks and Kitchens and, in 2018, to deliver alcohol with Zerocater Pours. The company launched Enterprise Catering for companies with 500 or more employees in 2019. Zerocater currently feeds thousands of employees of companies including Slack, PagerDuty, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Salesforce, JUUL, Datadog , and Cisco Meraki. As of November 2017, ZeroCater operates in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Los Angeles, Austin, Washington, D.C., and Chicago.

History

Zerocater was founded in 2009 by Arram Sabeti. As an early employee at Justin. tv (now Twitch.tv) Arram was responsible for ordering lunch for their office. He created a process to make it easy to order from a variety of local restaurants. Soon other companies began asking for his list of restaurants. Sensing this might be a new business opportunity, Arram left Justin. tv to work full-time on what would become ZeroCater. After running the business on a spreadsheet and bootstrapping for 18 months Zerocater was accepted into the Winter 2011 class of Y Combinator and placed first on Demo Day.

In 2011, ZeroCater raised a $1.5m seed round from investors including Paul Buchheit (the creator of Gmail and Google’s unofficial ‘Don’t be evil’ motto), SV Angel, and Vaizra. In 2016, Zerocater raised a $4.1m Series A. In 2018, ZeroCater raised $12m Series B led by Cleveland Avenue, founded by the former CEO of McDonald's, with participation by Justin Kan, Romulus Capital , and Struck Capital.

In 2020, Zerocater laid off the majority of its workforce due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

As companies return to office in a hybrid workforce model, Zerocater now provides two basic varieties of service: a “Cloud Cafe” that lets individuals pre-order boxed meals from a daily selection; and a “Managed Cafe” that provides buffet-style offerings with the offerings and amounts also pre-determined by pre-ordering. Alongside those, it lets companies blend those two together, and it also provides its services for one-off events. Food experiences are delivered, designed, and staffed by Zerocater people.

In 2023, Zerocater raised $15m Series C led by Cleveland Avenue, with participation by Romulus Capital.

Media coverage

Zerocater has been covered in Fast Company, the Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Forbes, CNNMoney, and other mainstream technology publications.

title: New Conservative Party (UK)

text:
The New Conservative Party was a minor nationalist political party in the United Kingdom.

The party was founded in March 1960 by John E. Dayton, a civil engineer living in Dorking, Surrey.  He described it as a party "neither of the extreme right nor left", although The History of British Political Parties describes its main policy as British nationalism.

Dayton stood as a candidate first in the 1960 Harrow West by-election, at which he took 4.7% of the vote – which proved to be the party's highest ever share.  Following this, he launched a party newsletter, Watching Brief, and then in November stood in the Bolton East by-election.  He took only 1.2% of the vote in Bolton East, while fellow party member C. F. H. Gilliard fared even worse in the 1960 Mid Bedfordshire by-election, with 0.6% of the votes cast.

In May 1961, the party was renamed as the True Conservative Party, but this change did not revive its fortunes, and it was dissolved in the autumn.  However, Dayton founded the Patriotic Front for Political Action and stood in the 1961 Oswestry by-election, at which he took a 2.8% share.  He soon ceased publishing Watching Brief, and dissolved the new party in February 1962, joining the Labour Party, and standing for the party in Westmorland at the 1966 general election.

title: Lake Alan Henry

text:
Lake Alan Henry is a reservoir situated in the upper Brazos River Basin in the United States. Created by the construction of the John T. Montford Dam in 1993, it is operated and used as a future tertiary water supply by the city of Lubbock, Texas and serves as a recreational spot for the region of West Texas. The surface area of the lake is  with a mean depth of . Lake Alan Henry is located  east of Justiceburg, Texas, and  south of Lubbock.

Geography
Lake Alan Henry is located on the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River in West Texas. South of Lubbock and east of Justiceburg, the lake extends  and has over  of shoreline. Its elevation is  lower than the city of Lubbock. Lake Alan Henry has a maximum depth of  with an average depth of , and the water is typically murky-to-clear with a visibility depth of one to four feet. Lake water levels fluctuate moderately between two and four feet per year. Vegetation of the lake mainly consists of flooded trees.

Operating at full capacity, Lake Alan Henry could potentially contain over 40 billion gallons of water.

Fish populations
Lake Alan Henry has been stocked with several different populations of fish in order to encourage recreational and fishing activities. Stocking of the lake began in 1993 with adult shads and gizzards. Between 1993 and 1994, Lake Alan Henry was stocked with largemouth bass, white crappie, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and other assorted fish by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Currently, a consumption advisory is in place for certain species of fish found in the lake due to concerns of high levels of mercury.

History
In the 1960s, the city of Lubbock moved forward with plans to create another water source for its growing population, and after years of soil studies and engineering research, the current location of the John T. Montford Dam was chosen as the closest and most suitable area for the structure and subsequent reservoir. After an application was approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, design work on the dam began in the 1980s. Construction started in 1991, and after two years, the dam was completed and began operation in 1993. The dam was named in honor of Senator John Thomas Montford for his efforts in legislation concerning the reservoir; likewise, Lake Alan Henry was named for a former mayor of Lubbock.

In 1994, as the reservoir began to fill, a water sampling program was created by Lubbock city officials in order to establish baseline water quality data. Before its water can be officially utilized, it is projected three pumping stations, a new water treatment plant, and  of the pipeline are needed to be established in-between Lubbock and Lake Alan Henry. This would have a predicted maximum yield of 23 million gallons of water per day for Lubbock.

Today, the lake is used primarily as a recreational spot for the surrounding areas; fishing, water skiing, hunting, and other outdoor activities (including hiking and camping) are the main draw for visitors to the lake. The Sam Wahl Recreational Area consists of over .
