Enrique José Hernández González (born August 24, 1991), nicknamed Kike ( ), is a Puerto Rican professional baseball utility player for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Houston Astros, Miami Marlins and Boston Red Sox.

The Astros drafted Hernández in the sixth round of the 2009 MLB draft, and he was called up to the majors for the first time in 2014. He has played every position except catcher in the majors, though he has spent the most time in the outfield and second base. Hernández was a member of the Dodgers' 2020 World Series championship team and won Fielding Bible Awards in 2020 and 2021.

Early life
Hernández is the eldest child of Enrique Hernández Sr., a scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and his wife Mónica González, owner of a boutique in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. His mother is Cuban. He has two younger sisters. He began playing baseball at age six and participated in international youth tournaments in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.

Hernández attended high school at the American Military Academy in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Though he was  tall in his junior year, he grew  during his senior year.

Professional career

Houston Astros
The Houston Astros drafted Hernández in the sixth round of the 2009 Major League Baseball draft. He earned a $150,000 signing bonus. In 2009, he played primarily second base and third base, and in 2010, he played exclusively second base.

Hernández was called up to the majors for the first time on July 1, 2014. He made his major league debut the same day, entering a game against the Seattle Mariners as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and collecting two hits, the first of which was a ground-rule double in his first at-bat, off Dominic Leone of the Mariners. Hernández hit his first home run the following day, off Chris Young of the Mariners. In 24 games, he hit .284/.348/.420 for the Astros.

Miami Marlins
On July 31, 2014, the Astros traded Hernández, Jarred Cosart, and Austin Wates to the Miami Marlins for Jake Marisnick, Colin Moran, Francis Martes, and a compensatory draft pick. Playing for the Marlins on September 26, 2014, Hernández hit a ninth-inning grand slam off Craig Stammen of the Washington Nationals for his first career grand slam in the major leagues. Overall, Hernández appeared in 18 games for the Marlins and batted .175/.267/.425 (seven hits in 40 at bats).

Los Angeles Dodgers

2015–2017
On December 10, 2014, Hernández was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers along with Chris Hatcher, Austin Barnes, and Andrew Heaney, in exchange for Dan Haren, Dee Gordon, Miguel Rojas, and cash. He was assigned to the AAA Oklahoma City Dodgers and was recalled by the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 28, 2015. He was used all over the field, with 20 games at second base, 19 in center field, 17 in left field, 16 at shortstop, 2 in right field and one at third base. In August, Hernández replaced a slumping Joc Pederson as the primary starting center fielder, though he missed much of September with a hamstring strain. He played in 76 games for the team in 2015, batting .307/.346/.490, with seven homers and 22 RBI. In 2015 he led all MLB hitters (60 or more plate appearances) in batting average against left-handers, at .423. During the season, he was known for his sense of humor and for wearing a banana suit in the dugout during games in which he was not playing.

In 2016, Hernández was less effective, hitting only .190/.283/.324 with seven homers and 18 RBI in 109 games. He was left off the roster for the first round of the playoffs and was hitless in eight at-bats in the 2016 National League Championship Series.

In 2017, he batted .215/.308/.421 in 297 at bats with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs, while playing at least one inning at every position except pitcher or catcher. In the 2017 National League Division Series, he had one hit, a double, in three at-bats. In the fifth game of the 2017 National League Championship Series, he hit three home runs, including a grand slam, and drove in seven runs to tie the record for most RBI in a postseason game, helping send the Dodgers to the World Series for the first time since 1988. In the World Series, he had three hits in 13 at-bats (.231 average) as the Dodgers lost to the Houston Astros in seven games.

2018–2020
Hernández was eligible for salary arbitration for the first time after the season, and in January 2018 signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract for 2018.

On July 25, 2018, Hernández pitched in a game for the first time in his career, entering in the 16th inning against the Philadelphia Phillies and picking up the loss after walking two batters and giving up a three-run walk-off home run. He is the first position player since Babe Ruth to play in the infield, outfield and give up three runs or more in the same game. He is also the first position player ever to give up a walk-off home run. For the season, he batted .256/.336/.470, hitting a career high 21 home runs and 52 RBIs. In the postseason, he was two for 12 in the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves, one for 14 in the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers and two for 15 in the 2018 World Series against the Boston Red Sox, with one home run.

On April 19, 2019, Hernández became the first player to hit a home run off Josh Hader when the count was 0-2. The Milwaukee Brewers pitcher had gone up 0-2 on 82 batters previously and held them to a .049 batting average. On August 22, 2019, Hernandez hit his first career walk-off hit in the team's 3-2 win against the Toronto Blue Jays. He would finish the season batting .237/.304/.411 with 17 home runs and a career-high 62 RBIs.

Prior to the 2020 season, Hernández agreed with the Dodgers on a one-year, $5.9 million, contract, avoiding arbitration. On July 23, 2020, Hernandez drove in five runs in an Opening Day 8–1 win against the San Francisco Giants. He played in 48 games during the Dodgers' pandemic-shortened 2020 season, hitting .230/.270/.410 with five home runs and 20 RBIs. He was hitless in five at-bats in the 2020 NLDS. In Game 7 of the 2020 National League Championship Series, Hernandez hit a game-tying solo home run in the sixth inning. With the homerun, Hernandez also became the first player to pinch hit a game-tying or go-ahead home run in a winner-take-all postseason game. Overall, he had 14 at-bats in the series, with four hits (two of them home runs). In the 2020 World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, Hernandez had two hits in 10 at-bats as the Dodgers won the championship.

Hernández was the last Dodger to wear number 14 before it was retired for Gil Hodges on June 4, 2022.

Boston Red Sox
On February 2, 2021, Hernández signed a two-year, $14 million contract with the Boston Red Sox. He began the season as Boston's primary center fielder, while also seeing time at second base. On May 7, Hernández was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain. On May 17, he played for the Worcester Red Sox on a rehabilitation assignment. He hit two home runs in the game, including the first grand slam in the team's history. Hernández returned to Boston's lineup the following day. He was named the AL Player of the Week after hitting .400 with nine RBIs during July 19–25. Hernández missed several games from late August into early September due to being on the COVID-19 related injured list. Overall during the regular season, Hernández played in 134 games for Boston, batting .250 with 20 home runs and 60 RBIs. He also appeared in 11 postseason games, batting 20-for-49 (.408). On October 11, Hernandez hit a sacrifice fly in Game 4 of the ALDS to send the Red Sox to the  American League Championship Series. During the final three games of the Division Series and first two games of the League Championship Series, Hernández set a new MLB record for the most total bases in a five-game playoff span, with 34; it also set a new Red Sox franchise record for the most total bases in any five-game span.

Hernández was Boston's starting center fielder for Opening Day in 2022. He missed the game of May 6 due to briefly being on the COVID-related list. On June 8, he was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hip flexor strain. On July 23, he was transferred to the 60-day injured list. He rejoined the team on August 16. On September 6, the Red Sox announced that Hernández signed a one-year, $10 million contract extension for the 2023 season. For the 2022 season, Hernández played in 93 games for Boston while batting .222 with six home runs and 45 RBIs.

Prior to the 2023 season, with longtime shortstop Xander Bogaerts gone, Hernández emerged as a leader in the Red Sox clubhouse. He was involved in recruiting former Dodgers teammates Justin Turner and Kenley Jansen to Boston. With both the departure of Bogaerts, and the injury of Trevor Story, Hernández was named to be the Red Sox starting shortstop come opening day. After 46 games starting on the position, manager Alex Cora announced that the team was moving him off of the position. At the time of the announcement, Hernández led the majors with 14 errors. However, multiple injuries for the Red Sox soon made them move Hernández back to the position, as well as some starts at second base. He played in 86 games for the Red Sox in 2023, batting .222 with 6 home runs and 31 RBI.

Los Angeles Dodgers (second stint)
On July 25, 2023, the Red Sox traded Hernández back to the Dodgers in exchange for Nick Robertson and Justin Hagenman. Hernández returned wearing the number 8, as in the time he was gone, his old number 14 was retired by the Dodgers in honor of Gil Hodges. In 54 games with the Dodgers, he hit .262 with five homers and 30 RBI.

International career
Hernández played for the Puerto Rico national baseball team in the 2017 World Baseball Classic, where he won a silver medal.

On October 29, 2018, he was selected to form part of the MLB All-Star team for the 2018 MLB Japan All-Star Series.

In October 2022, it was announced that Hernandez would once again represent Team Puerto Rico in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. He batted .300 over Puerto Rico's five games, adding two doubles and four RBI over the event.

Personal life
Hernández and his wife, Mariana, married in December 2019 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. They welcomed a daughter in January 2021.

title: Parti des déshérités de Madagascar

text:
The Parti des déshérités de Madagascar (PADESM, "Party of the Disinherited of Madagascar") was a political party active in Madagascar from June 1946 into the First Republic (1960–1972). It was formed in reaction to the establishment and rapid political success of the Mouvement démocratique de la rénovation malgache (MDRM) political party, formed by Merina elites on a platform of independence from France. While nationalism - and therefore the MDRM - had widespread support from all ethnic communities, PADESM championed the empowerment and equitable government of coastal peoples, who had historically been subjugated by the Merina and feared the MDRM could ensure their return to political dominance upon independence. They actively recruited and campaigned along ethnic lines, initially including coastal peoples and the descendants of Merina slaves, but eventually excluding the latter entirely. The formation and political success of PADESM was actively fostered by the French colonial administration, which manipulated election results in favor of the coastal party.

The nationalist Malagasy Uprising of 1947 led the French colonial administration to dissolve the MDRM and temporarily suspend all other political parties, including PADESM. Tensions between the parties played out during the uprising through targeted acts of violence between supporters of the rival groups. An estimated 1,900 to 5,000 PADESM supporters were killed during the uprising by pro-MDRM nationalist fighters.  After the nationalist movement was crushed in December 1948, PADESM experienced an increase in popularity, aided by continuing French support. The party won several key political elections in the 1950s. Nevertheless, as the process toward independence began, it became fragmented between conservative and progressive factions, with the latter splitting off in December 1956 to form the Parti sociale démocrate (PSD, Social Democratic Party). With this split and independence in 1960, PADESM became moribund.

PADESM has had a lasting impact on political life in Madagascar. Philibert Tsiranana, leader of the PSD, went on to become Madagascar's first president upon independence in 1960. Many other major political figures in Madagascar have connections to PADESM and PSD, including former president Didier Ratsiraka and former prime minister Jacques Sylla. More broadly, the formation of PADESM cemented ethnic rivalries within Malagasy politics, linking the interests of specific ethnic groups with particular political parties.

History

Founding and ideology
At the first post-war constituent assembly convened in Paris in November 1945 to draft the constitution of the French Fourth Republic, Madagascar was represented by two doctors named  and . They formed the Mouvement démocratique de la rénovation malgache (MDRM) political party together with future writer Jacques Rabemananjara in early 1946. All three leaders were the descendants of Hova Merina who had been politically prominent in the former royal court. The party's platform was built on national independence from France and garnered mass support that cut across geographic, ethnic and class divisions. In November 1946 the trio were elected to represent Madagascar as deputies (députés) in the French National Assembly.

In reaction to the founding of the MDRM, which many non-Merina feared would revive Merina political hegemony, the Party for the Disinherited of Madagascar (Parti des déshérités de Madagascar, PADESM) was formed in June 1946 by members of coastal communities formerly subjugated by the Merina empire, as well as highland-based descendants of former Merina slaves. Militant leader Mahasampo Raveloson was key in the creation of the party. Other founding members included Philibert Tsiranana (who became Madagascar's first president after independence), Albert Sylla (who became Minister of Foreign Affairs under Tsiranana, and whose son, Jacques Sylla, would go on to become Prime Minister of Madagascar under Marc Ravalomanana), and Albert Ratsiraka and Pascale Velonjara, respectively father and father-in-law of future president Didier Ratsiraka.

In July 1946, PADESM was changed to become a direct opposition party to MDRM. Initially a non-nationalist party, PADESM eventually favored a gradual process toward independence that would preserve close ties to France and prevent the reemergence of the precolonial hegemony. It actively recruited membership along ethnic lines to include coastal peoples and the descendants of Merina slaves, attracting a number of intellectual elites and political leaders from coastal areas. Its platform focused on increasing distribution of resources to coastal areas to counterbalance decades of colonial investment in the central highlands.  Over time, the party grew more conservative, and Mahasampo Raveloson led a successful effort to exclude any Merina from the party, including descendants of those who had been enslaved by nobles of their own ethnic group under the Kingdom of Imerina and shared their coastal compatriots' concerns regarding Merina political dominance.

The Socialist-dominated French authorities actively supported PADESM. The French characterized this support as an effort to champion the oppressed masses and strengthen their protection against exploitative Hova elites. Governor General Jules Marcel de Coppet provided the party with space in public buildings for meetings. PADESM candidates in the January 1947 provincial elections received financial support from French settlers owing to the party's favorable disposition to the French administration.

In the critical November 1946 election to select the first ever deputies to represent Madagascar at the French National Assembly, MDRM accused the French administration of stuffing ballot boxes, tampering with electoral rolls, intimidating MDRM candidates and supporters, and blatantly falsifying election results to ensure PADESM victory. Despite these irregularities, MDRM won 71 percent of the vote, and none of the PADESM candidates was elected. While MDRM won decisive victories in the central and eastern province, results were close in the western province, where the MDRM candidate Joseph Raseta won 21,475 votes and the PADESM candidate Totelehibe won 19,014 votes.

Role during and after the Malagasy Uprising
In early 1947 the French administration instituted a new rule that increased the weight of the French vote over the Malagasy vote in selection of candidates, and three PADESM candidates favored by French conservatives were elected to the Conseil de la Republique. The results of the election and popular discontent with French interference served to intensify widespread frustration against the colonial authority and desire for Malagasy self-governance across the island. These factors finally erupted in a nationalist uprising that began on the evening of 29 March 1947 with attacks against a police camp and several French plantations in the eastern rainforest carried out by militant Malagasy nationalists, chief among them the members of the nationalist secret societies Vy Vato Sakelika (VVS) and Jiny.

Despite the role of the militants in leading the Uprising, the colonial authorities immediately accused the MDRM of instigating the movement. This view was echoed by PADESM leaders and shared by the majority of French settlers. The French authorities responded by targeting not only MDRM leaders and members, but also their supporters, drawing the wider population into the conflict. Attacks against the colonial authority in the east were immediately followed by similar actions in the south of the island before rapidly spreading throughout the country. The movement enjoyed particularly strong support in the south, where the revolt attracted as many as one million peasants to fight for the nationalist cause. The French responded with heavy military action and psychological warfare, including incidences of crimes against humanity. Between July and September 1948, most of the key leaders of the Uprising were captured or killed, and the last of the fighters disbanded and fled into the forests in December 1948.

The eruption of the conflict provided the pretext for violence between highland Merina and coastal Malagasy of other ethnic groups. An estimated 1,900 to 5,000 Malagasy PADESM supporters were killed by their pro-MDRM nationalist countrymen during the conflict.

Although the MDRM leadership consistently maintained its innocence, the party was dissolved by the French administration on 10 May 1947, and all other political parties, including PADESM, were temporarily suspended. The banning of MDRM further strengthened PADESM's prominence after the end of the uprising. Between 1951 and 1956, PADESM candidates won three consecutive legislative elections.

Decline
Despite the outward appearance of success, the party was suffering from internal divisions. Other countries under French colonial rule, including Morocco, Indochina and several in West Africa, had either become independent or had begun to negotiate the process to independence; this inspired the hope that Madagascar could follow suit, allowing the tantalizing opportunity for PADESM to wield unfettered power in Malagasy politics.  This emerging possibility fragmented the party, which became paralyzed by in-fighting.  The progressive faction split off to form the Parti sociale démocrate (PSD, Social Democratic Party) in Mahajanga in December 1956, under the leadership of Philibert Tsiranana, a French-educated school teacher of Tsimihety coastal origin, and Andre Raseta.

Legacy
The PSD that emerged from the disintegration of PADESM was a powerful force in Malagasy politics throughout the First Republic. When Madagascar achieved independence in 1960, PSD leader Tsiranana was named the country's first president, a position he held until the rotaka protests forced him to resign in 1972. His administration was succeeded by the socialist nationalist Second Republic under Didier Ratsiraka.

title: Appenzell Railways

text:
Appenzell Railways (, AB) is a Swiss railway company with headquarters in Herisau. It operates a network of railways in the cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, St. Gallen and Thurgau.

History
The origins of the Appenzeller Bahnen company lies in a number of formerly independent companies and railway lines:

 The Rorschach–Heiden-Bergbahn (RHB), which opened its line from Rorschach to Heiden in 1875.
 The Appenzellerbahn (AB), which opened its line from Winkeln to Urnäsch via Herisau in 1875, with an extension from Urnäsch to Appenzell in 1886. In 1913, the line from Herisau to Winkeln was replaced by a new line to Gossau.
 The Frauenfeld–Wil railway (FW) in 1887
 The St. Gallen–Gais–Appenzell-Bahn (SGA), which opened between St. Gallen and Gais in 1889, and was extended to Appenzell in 1904.
 The Rheineck–Walzenhausen-Bergbahn (RhW), which opened between Rheineck and Walzenhausen in 1896.
 The Trogenerbahn (TB), which opened between St. Gallen and Trogen in 1903.
 The Altstätten-Gais-Bahn (AG), which opened between Gais and Altstätten in 1911.
 The Säntisbahn, which opened between Appenzell and Wasserauen in 1912.

The Appenzellerbahn and Santisbahn merged in 1947, retaining the Appenzellerbahn (AB) identity. The St. Gallen–Gais–Appenzell-Bahn and Altstätten-Gais-Bahn merged in 1948, under the name St. Gallen–Gais–Appenzell–Altstätten-Bahn (SGA).

The Appenzeller Bahnen company was formed in 1988, with the merger of the Appenzellerbahn and the St. Gallen–Gais–Appenzell–Altstätten-Bahn. In 2006, the Appenzeller Bahnen company merged with the Rorschach–Heiden-Bergbahn, the Rheineck–Walzenhausen-Bergbahn and the Trogenerbahn companies. In legal terms, this merger took the form of the Appenzeller Bahnen company acquiring the other companies.

In 2021 the company merged with Frauenfeld-Wil-Bahn AG, owner of the Frauenfeld–Wil line. The two companies had shared operations for years.

Operation

Today, the company operates the following railway lines:

 Appenzell–St. Gallen–Trogen
 Gossau–Appenzell–Wasserauen
 Altstaetten–Gais
 Rheineck–Walzenhausen
 Rorschach–Heiden
 Frauenfeld–Wil

The St. Gallen–Gais–Appenzell, Gossau–Appenzell–Wasserauen and Altstätten–Gais lines form a connected network of  lines, all electrified at 1500 V DC.  Until 2018, the St. Gallen–Trogen line was also of metre gauge, but ran independently.

From 2016 to 2018, the Appenzellerbahnen undertook a large construction project to connect the Appenzell-St. Gallen and St. Gallen-Trogen lines.  The three points of incompatibility were electrification (the St. Gallen-Trogen line was 1000 V DC with a brief stretch at 600 V DC shared with the St. Gallen trolleybus system), different (but physically adjacent) termini in St. Gallen, and maximal grades (the rack railway approach to St. Gallen from Appenzell was too steep for adhesion-based St. Gallen-Trogen rolling stock).  So the new project re-electrified the St. Gallen-Trogen line at 1500 V DC and constructed a new tunnel through St. Gallen.  The old alignment through St. Gallen closed in April 2018, and the system began through-running in October of the same year.

The Rheineck–Walzenhausen and Rorschach–Heiden lines are geographically separate from the rest of the network, and are of respectively  and standard () gauges. The Altstaetten–Gais, Rheineck–Walzenhausen and Rorschach–Heiden lines all have rack railway sections, whilst the Gossau–Appenzell–Wasserauen and Appenzell–St. Gallen–Trogen lines are adhesion only. Frauenfeld-Wil was cooperating closely, but legally distinct from 2003. It is not connected by tracks. 2021 they were taken over.

The company also operates a bus service from Teufen, on the St. Gallen–Gais–Appenzell line, to Speicher, on the St. Gallen–Trogen line. Night bus services are operated over the routes of the St. Gallen–Gais–Appenzell and St. Gallen–Trogen lines.

title: Maine State Route 197

text:
State Route 197 (SR 197) is a  east-west state highway in the US state of Maine.

Route description
SR 197 begins in Sabattus at the intersection with SR 9 and SR 126. This intersection is SR 197's western terminus. SR 197  heads east. From the corner it is called Litchfield Road. SR 197 then crosses the Sabattus-Wales town line, and then the Wales-Litchfield town line entering Kennebec County, as Litchfield Road becomes Richmond Road instead. SR 197 then passes over Interstate 95. Even though it is an east–west highway, it takes a sharp curve and heads south, and then it takes an easterly turn. The route enters Sagadahoc County and Bowdoin briefly and becomes County Rd. It SR 197 then enters Richmond intersects U.S. Route 201, called Brunswick Rd (northbound) and Augusta Rd (southbound).  and intersects SR 138. SR 197 continues to head east. It then and crosses the West Branch Denham Stream before coming to an interchange with on and off ramps onto Interstate 295. SR 197 continues to head east. In downtown Richmond, it has a concurrency with SR 24. SR 24 then branches off SR 197. A bridge carries SR 197 across the Kennebec River, into Lincoln County, and into the town of Dresden. It then junctions SR 128, crosses the Eastern River, and turns onto Middle Rd (This is also a junction with the northern terminus of SR 127). SR 197 continues along Middle Rd until the intersection with SR 27, where SR 197 has its eastern terminus.

title: Winged Lion Memorial

text:
The Winged Lion Memorial () was unveiled on 17 June 2014 at Klárov in Prague by the British Member of Parliament, Rt Hon Sir Nicholas Soames MP, grandson of Sir Winston Churchill.  It is dedicated to the Czechoslovak airmen who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II and who achieved acclaim for their contribution to the Battle of Britain.

Description

The two metre high Winged Lion is the work of the contemporary British sculptor Colin Spofforth. The Lion was cast in bronze at the artistic foundry in Horní Kalná, Hradec Králové Region. The Lion is placed on a concrete plinth covered by Czech granite. When viewed from above, the circular pedestal resembles the insignia of the Czech Air Force. The plinth riveted side coverings replicate the fuselage surface of aircraft of the day and since 2018 bear the names of all the Czechoslovakians who served with the Royal Air Force during the second world war.  In 2019 the site was extended with benches, information panels and paving around the plinth.

Inscribed on the monument in both Czech and English is: This monument is an expression of the British Community’s lasting gratitude to the 2,500 Czechoslovak airmen who served with the Royal Air Force between 1940 and 1945 for the freedom of Europe.

Also there is a quotation from British poet William Kean Seymour (1887-1975): "He fights for freedom, one of freedom's sons, lone in his aery sphere of blue and bronze."

It was unveiled by the right honourable Sir Nicholas Soames MP on 17 June 2014 as a gift to the Czech and Slovak peoples from the British community living and working in Czechia and Slovakia.

History
During World War II, some 2507 Czech and Slovak men and women served in the British Royal Air Force. About a fifth of them did not survive the war. Not all of them were pilots. In addition to the well-known men in blue, there was the ground crew. Other men worked in administrative positions such as liaison officers in the Royal Air Force or in the training units. Among the RAF pilots there were also airmen from many other countries. Czechoslovaks, like their Polish comrades, earned a great reputation in the RAF.

After February 1948, the Czechoslovaks who had served in the RAF and had repatriated to Czechoslovakia after 15 August 1945, often with wives and children, were subsequently persecuted by the communist regime.

The installation of the monument met with the criticism of Prague's conservationists, who protested against its location.  The protest was not upheld.

Funding and unveiling

About 99% of the funds raised  (about three million Czech crowns) was donated by the British community in Czechia and Slovakia. Donations from Czech citizens, businesses and individuals were also received. The origins of the monument are credited to Mr. Euan Edworthy, who has lived in the Czech Republic for many years and whose father served in the Royal Air Force and Colonel Andrew Shepherd, UK Defence Attache.

The unveiling ceremony at Klárov was accompanied by music performed by the Royal Air Force College band and by the Pipes and Drums of the Queen's Royal Hussars. The event was attended by nine former Czechoslovak RAF members.  Before the unveiling, Sir Nicholas Soames (the grandson of Sir Winston Churchill) gave a speech; he referred to the memorial as a symbol of the courage of the 2,500 Czechoslovak airmen and reminded the famous phrase of his grandfather, Churchill, who, speaking of the pilots who took part in the Battle of Britain, proclaimed that "never was so much owed by so many to so few." Immediately following  unveiling of the memorial a legendary aircraft Spitfire, in the livery of Squadron Leader Otto Smik DFC, made a flypast over Prague.

title: Winona Formation

text:
The Winona Formation (also called the Winona Sand or the Winona Greensand) is a sand geologic formation in Mississippi.  It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.

Description
The Winona Formation was originally described as a member of the Tallahatta Formation or as a member of the Lisbon Formation, both of which are members of the Claiborne Group. It was upgraded to formation status and is considered a separate formation from both by the Mississippi Dept. of Environmental Quality Office of Geology. The Winona formation is a medium to fine grain poorly sorted sand that contains silt, clay, and fossils. It has a high glauconite content, up to 50% in some areas. Fossils, molds, and casts are commonly found in lithified beds, and the fossil assemblage includes bivalves, gastropods, echinoids, shark teeth, crabs, foraminifera, and ostracods. The depositional environment for this formation is considered a shallow-water, near shore marine shelf facies as part of a marine transgression series.

title: William Ogilvy

text:
William Ogilvy (19 September 1793 – 10 April 1871) was a Scottish officer in the British Army, and briefly the Member of Parliament (MP) for Perth Burghs.

He was a younger son of Walter Ogilvy of Clova (died 1819) and his wife Jean, daughter of John Ogilvy MD, of Balfour and Murkl.  He was a  brother of Hon. Donald Ogilvy.

Ogilvy initially joined the Royal Navy, and disliked it and followed his brothers into the army. He fought in the Peninsula War and at the Battle of Waterloo. He left the army in 1826, and went to live with his brother in Airlie Castle.

In January 1831, he contested a by-election for the Perth Burghs. His rival Francis Jeffrey was returned as the winner, but Ogilvy lodged a petition, and was declared elected on 28 March 1831.

The 1831 general election followed a few weeks later, and Ogilvy began canvassing, but withdrew for lack of support.

title: Cameron connector

text:
The Cameron connector is a section of track built in 1995–1996 which connects the former Burlington Northern Railroad and the former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway tracks, both which are now part of the BNSF Railway, to each other near Cameron, Illinois.

Background and construction
In 1854, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) arrived in the town of Galesburg, Illinois, nine miles northeast of Cameron, followed by the Santa Fe Railway in the second half of the 1880s. The two railroads had two separate stations in Galesburg, with the Burlington station, which serviced trains such as the Nebraska Zephyr, Denver Zephyr and California Zephyr, being located on Seminary St. and the Santa Fe station, which serviced trains including the Super Chief and El Capitan, being located a few blocks northwest on North Broad Street. Continuing west, the two tracks intersected at Cameron, with the Santa Fe, heading southwest, crossing over the Burlington route, which headed directly west. In 1996, the Burlington Northern Railroad, which was itself the product of a 1970 merger of the CB&Q, Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railways, merged with the Santa Fe to form the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, later renamed the BNSF Railway.

With the anticipated Burlington Northern and Santa Fe merger, it became necessary to connect the BN's Ottumwa Subdivision to the Santa Fe's Chillicothe Subdivision, the latter of which became part of the BNSF's Southern Transcon Route. Work began in 1995, and was completed on May 29, 1996.

Route and infrastructure
Both ends of the connector, which cuts through farmland, have wyes along with signals that regulate the flow of train traffic that passes through the connector. Trains traveling on the former ATSF tracks enter the wye at a southwest-northeast angle. At the south end of the northern wye, the two tracks converge to one track, briefly traveling southeast, before the two tracks diverge to form the northern part of the southern wye, through which trains enter the former Burlington tracks, which travel directly east-west.

Impact
The connector has resulted in a direct connection between the BNSF rail yard in Galesburg to the Southern Transcon.

The line has also had a significant impact for Amtrak. Prior to the building of the connector, the Southwest Chief operated on the Chillicothe Subdivision to Galesburg, via Joliet, Streator and Chillicothe. The building of the connector enabled the Southwest Chief to be rerouted onto the BNSF's Mendota Subdivision, used by the California Zephyr and a couple of short-distance inter-city Amtrak trains via Naperville, Mendota and Princeton. Southwest Chief service to Streator and Chillicothe was dropped as part of the realignment, although Joliet continues to see Amtrak service from other trains. The rerouting of the Southwest Chief enabled passenger service to also operate through one station in Galesburg instead of two, and the station building along the former Santa Fe line was demolished.

title: R. H. Long Motors Company

text:
The R. H. Long Motors Company was a Framingham, Massachusetts-based automobile manufacturer that operated from 1922 to 1926. They produced the Bay State model automobile, which used a Continental Motors Company six-cylinder engine.

The company was founded by Richard H. Long, a shoe manufacturer from Framingham. During World War I, Long's factory switched to manufacturing war supplies, including high-grade automobile bodies. In 1922, R. H. Long Motors Company began production of the Bay State.

Although R. H. Long Motors ceased car production in 1926, the Long Automotive Group, an automobile dealership founded in 1927, was started from the remains of the business. Long Automotive still exists today in Southborough, Massachusetts (Long Cadillac), the world's oldest continually-owned Cadillac dealership, and Webster, Massachusetts (Long Subaru).

One remaining Bay State car, a 1925 model, is known to exist.

title: Praecoxanthus

text:
Praecoxanthus aphyllus, commonly known as leafless orchid, is the only species of the flowering plant genus Praecoxanthus in the orchid family, Orchidaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. Plants in flower lack a true leaf, although those plants that are not flowering do possess a green leaf. This species is one of the first orchids to flower each year and its creamy white, fragrant flower easily distinguishes it from other species.

Description
Praecoxanthus aphyllus is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herb with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and a tuber partly surrounded by a fibrous sheath. The tuber produces a replacement "dropper" which becomes the daughter tuber in the following year. Non-flowering plants produce a single, stalkless, egg-shaped leaf which is  long,  wide and glabrous with prominent white veins. The leaf of flowering plants is reduced to a tiny bract at the base of the stem.

There is a single resupinate flower on the end of a wiry, glabrous stem  high. The flower is  wide and long. The three sepals and two petals are spreading, creamy-white, free and similar in size and shape to each other. As is usual in orchids, one petal is highly modified as the central labellum. The labellum has three lobes and is purple, green and yellow with two irregular rows of stalked, club-like calli. The sexual parts of the flower are fused to the column, which has wing-like structures on its sides and are widest at the base. Flowering occurs from March to May and the fruit that follows is a non-fleshy, hairy, dehiscent capsule containing a large number of seeds.

Taxonomy and naming
Leafless orchid was first formally described in 1837 by George Bentham who gave it the name Caladenia aphylla and published the description in Flora Australiensis. In 2000, Stephen Hopper and Andrew Brown described the genus Praecoxanthus and included this species.

The genus name "Praecoxanthus" is derived from the Latin word praecox meaning "premature" or "precocious" and the Ancient Greek anthos meaning "flower". The specific epithet "aphyllus" is derived from the Ancient Greek prefix "a-" meaning "without" and phyllon meaning "leaf".

Ecology
Leafless orchid flowers are highly fragrant and attract native bees. The yellow calli on a purple labellum resemble pollen-bearing stamens but the flower is nectarless, attracting the insects to an absent reward.

Distribution and habitat
This orchid usually grows in sandy soils in woodland but near Esperance tends to grow in low heath with sub-soil moisture. Unlike some orchids, they do not usually grow in colonies and individuals are well-spaced. It occurs between Pinjarra and Albany and in a coastal strip east to Esperance in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions.

Conservation
Praecoxanthus aphyllus is classified as "Not Threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.

Joseph A. Munitiz (1931-2022) was a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest and academic.

Munitiz was born in Cardiff, Wales, of Basque parentage and educated by the Christian Brothers at Liverpool, and subsequently at the Junior Seminary at Comillas, Cantabria. Munitiz's multiple courses of study include Heythrop College, Oxon, Campion Hall, Oxford, where he took the degree in Greats (Literae Humaniores), the Pontifical University (Comillas) in Spain, the Pontifical Oriental Institute Rome. He was appointed to the staff of Leuven University with special responsibility for the Series Graeca of Corpus Christianorum (now published by Brepols).

Munitiz served as Master of Campion Hall, Oxford, from 1989 until 1998. He was subsequently retained as a research fellow at Birmingham University before retiring to Campion in 2010 and then to a house in London in 2016.

Early research work with Marcel Richard on the Series Graeca led him to publishing his thesis on Theognostos (with an academic introduction in French) volume 5  in that series, and completing Richard's volume, the Questions and Answers of Anastasios of Sinai, vol. 59 (this time with the introduction in English). A third volume, 13, the Curriculum Vitae of Nikephoros Blemmydes, appeared in 1984. Other publications in the Byzantine tradition followed, and also translations of two of the SG volumes, Anastasios and Theognostos (Corpus Christianorum in Translation vols. 7 and 16), the Blemmydes translation having been published separately.

Munitiz has at various times edited the Heythrop Journal and the spiritual magazine The Way (for which he remained on the editorial board for some time).

His interest in the work of the founder of the Society of Jesus led to articles and most notably to a joint Penguin publication on Ignatius of Loyola's Personal Writings.

He died in July 2022, shortly after being released from hospital.

title: Lee Crandall

text:
Lee Saunders Crandall (January 26, 1887 – June 25, 1969) was an American ornithologist and General Curator of Bronx Zoo. He worked at the Bronx Zoo from 1908 until his death in 1969.

Biography
Born in Sherburne, New York, before moving to Utica aged four, Crandall began breeding and exhibiting Sebright and Cochin Bantams aged fifteen. His father and grandfather being doctors, it was assumed Crandall would follow in their footsteps, and he attended Cornell Medical School in 1907; however, he only stayed for one year before realizing he wanted a career with animals. A chance conversation with his class president, the nephew of the Treasurer of the New York Zoological Society (now the Wildlife Conservation Society), led to an interview with Director of the New York Zoological Park (now the Bronx Zoo), William T. Hornaday.

After this interview, Crandall became a student at the Park in June 1908, with rotating duties in the Mammal, Reptile and Bird departments. A meeting with William Beebe, who at that time was Bird Department Curator, in late summer 1908, saw Crandall become Beebe's assistant and a salaried keeper at the Zoo in the fall of 1908. This led Crandall to attend Columbia University, where he took a variety of zoology courses during 1908 and 1909, returning to full-time work at the Zoo in 1909

Crandall was appointed assistant curator of birds in 1911 and became curator of the Bird Department in 1919, when Beebe began to devote his time fully to his Department of Tropical Research work. Crandall remained in this role until 1943, when he became general curator, a role in which he remained until his retirement in 1952. After his retirement, he continued to work in the zoo's offices at least five days a week and served as curator emeritus until his death in 1969.

His long and illustrious career led to him achieving a much respected worldwide reputation in the zoo field and he was considered the preeminent authority on zoological park management and the maintenance of wild animals in captivity.

Field Work
1909: Collecting trip to British Guiana with William Beebe, from which he returned with 300 birds of 50 species for the Bronx Zoo.

1912: Returned from a trip to numerous European zoos and animal dealers with a large collection of exhibition specimens.

1914: Expedition to Costa Rica, assisted by T. Donald Carter. After six weeks in the field they returned with 300 living mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and insects.

1928: Crandall's biggest expedition was to the interior of New Guinea to collect birds of paradise for the Zoo. Crandall left New York on August 9, 1928, and returned on March 21, 1929, with 40 birds of paradise and around 200 other birds and several mammals. He was able to penetrate the Owen Stanley Mountain Range and secured nine species of birds of paradise. He was accompanied by John E. Ward, an Australian field naturalist, and a team of native bearers. On the return voyage, his ship was wrecked on a coral reef between Port Moresby and Sydney. Crandall and his team rode out a storm for six days before they were rescued, and he arrived back in New York after a 44-day voyage, having not lost a single specimen. His collection of birds of paradise was one of the best collections ever to have left New Guinea, and they became the focus of an important series of papers by Crandall, which were mostly published in Zoologica. In 1930 Scribner's published his account of the expedition, entitled Paradise Quest.

Publications
Crandall wrote extensively throughout his career, the result of which is over 250 articles and four books.

His very first publication Wild birds bred in captivity in the United States (New York Zool. Soc. Bull. 2: 580–583, 1909) defined his interests and demonstrates the contributions Crandall made to the subject of understanding the management of captive wild animals.

Books by Crandall
Pets: Their History and Care (1917)
Paradise Quest (1931)
The Management of Wild Mammals in Captivity (1964)
A Zoo Man's Notebook (1966; with William Bridges)

Crandall's most significant publication was The Management of Wild Animals in Captivity, after which he became known as "dean of American zoo men," such was its impact. Work began on it directly after his retirement in 1952, and when it was published in 1964, it immediately became known in the zoo world as "the zoo man's bible". The publication was the culmination of fifty years of observation on the feeding, housing, reproduction and longevity of the animals at the Bronx Zoo, with references also drawn from zoos around the world.

Memberships, professional affiliations and other activities
1909: Became member of American Ornithologists' Union.
1930: Elected to membership of American Ornithologists' Union.
1951: Elected fellow of American Ornithologists' Union.

At the time of his death, Crandall was Secretary-Treasurer of the American Committee for International Wildlife Protection, a position which entailed coordination of American participation in world-wide conservation activities, a fellow of the New York Zoological Society and the New York Academy of Sciences. He was a corresponding member of the Zoological Society of London, an honorary member of the Zoological Society of San Diego, the American Institute of Park Executives, the International Union of Directors of Zoological Gardens and the Avicultural Society.

For many years, Crandall served as Inspector for the Fish and Wildlife Service of the United States Government.

Crandall was awarded the Everly Gold Medal of the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums in 1965.

Personal life
In 1910 Crandall married Celia Mary Dowd. They had one daughter together, Sylvia. Crandall's hobbies included bridge, stamp collecting, gardening, and golf.

title: Monkton Quartzite

text:
The Monkton Quartzite is a geologic formation in Vermont. It preserves fossils dating back to the middle of the Cambrian period.

Geology

The Monkton Quartzite consists of red ferruginous quartzite interbedded with lesser buff and white quartzites. Additionally, there are thick sections of dolomite (dolomstone) containing algal laminations similar to the Winooski Dolostone. The Monkton Quartzite preserves many primary sedimentary features, including wave-action ripples, rain-drop imprints, trilobite tracks, and burrows. The unit contains shallowing upward cycles of subtidal sand shoals overlain by intertidal beds of sand and silt. This shows a prograding tidal flat during a time of clastic deposition on the passive margin of Laurentia. Below the erosionally-resistant rocks of the Monkton lies the Dunham Dolostone, and above lies the Winooski Dolostone. The Monkton Quartzite is well exposed at the Redstone Quarry in South Burlington Vermont. Here, the Monkton Quartzites have been thrust to the west by the Champlain Thrust.

title: Martin Hill (camera collector)

text:
Martin Hill is a former camera man who collects antique cameras, reels and other various filmmaking equipment. After making a few films, Hill decided to collect cameras instead. At one point he owned the Panavision PSR 35mm that George Lucas used to film the first Star Wars movie, which eventually sold for over $600,000. His collection included cameras that filmed blockbusters such as Gone With the Wind, The Grapes of Wrath, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He also once owned the camera used for most of Charlie Chaplin's silent movies.

Early life

Martin Hill started collecting over fifty years ago. After he got out of the army, he and his wife, Patsy,  began dealing in army surplus. One day, he used all of their savings and bought a literal ton of gun parts for $200. He cataloged and sorted all the pieces, over 36,000, and sold them to dealers. He turned a $200 investment in a $4000 one.

Hill and his childhood friend, Harry Joyner, a cinematographer in Charlotte, NC, made amateur 8mm films when they were young. In 1971, they shot a 35mm film called "Body Shop." Hill believes it was the first 35mm film shot and produced in Charlotte. The film may still be found in obscure video stores by the name of "Dr. Gore."

Collection

Hill's camera collection includes a VistaVision camera from The Ten Commandments, among others, most of which have "scrap" stamped on their side. Hill and his family are working with museums and studios to try and raise awareness about preserving the historical artifacts of Hollywood.

Hill calls the cameras "monuments to my folly," his folly being his love of movies and movie making. Over the years, he has collected hundreds of cameras, but sells very few. He says on his death bed, he'll still be buying junk, knowing he won't sell it all.

One of the cameras that was once part of Hill's collection, Mitchell BNC #208, is currently on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures as part of "The Godfather" 50th anniversary exhibit, which will be running from 2022 to 2024. Although it's not the original camera used to film "The Godfather," it closely resembles the camera used in the movie. This is because the camera was modified into a reflexed camera by Camera Services Center in New York, making it similar to the one used during the filming of "The Godfather." In 2006, Hill sold the camera to Nathan Snyder of owyheesound, who then lent it to the Academy Museum in 2022.

Documentary

GreyHawk Films, a Charlotte, North Carolina, film production company, is currently completing a documentary on Martin Hill. Joanne Hock and John Disher, who work for GreyHawk Films, discovered Hill's story on a prop scout and thought it would make a great documentary.

They began a Kickstarter to raise the $6,000 necessary to complete the documentary. They reached their goal on August 21, 2011, with help from the historian Leonard Maltin, who blogged about their documentary. Maltin says, "Would you like to see the brushes Leonardo Da Vinci used to paint the Mona Lisa, or the chisel Rodin employed to carve The Thinker? Think of these cameras in the same way, and you’ll understand why they have artistic as well as historic value."
The documentary depicts, among other things, Hill's long-time friend Mark Mervis (a professional cinematographer) cranking up and running film through the "treasure" of his camera collection: a 1920s camera that Charlie Chaplin used to film most of his silent movies. Hill and his family entered the camera at an auction sponsored by Debbie Reynolds.

The documentary has had a few rough cut test screenings, but has not been released yet due to copyright issues.

Health

On July 3, 2012, Hill suffered from a stroke that paralyzed half of his body.

Death

Martin Hill died peacefully on March 24, 2017, at Clear Creek Nursing Home and Rehab.
