title: Washington Redskins trademark dispute

text:
The Washington Redskins trademark dispute was a legal effort by Native Americans to define the term "redskin" to be an offensive and pejorative racial slur to deprive the owners of the NFL's Washington Redskins of the ability to maintain federal trademark protection for the name. These efforts had primarily been carried forward in two cases brought before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). While prevailing in the most recent case in which the trademarks were cancelled, petitioners withdrew for further litigation now that the legal issue has become moot due to a decision in another case which found the relevant portion of the trademark law to be an unconstitutional infringement on freedom of speech.

After decades of defending the name, amidst the removal of many names and images as part of the George Floyd protests, and pressure from investors and sponsors, the Redskins began the process of changing their name. On July 23, 2020 the team announced that, given that a rebrand typically takes 12 to 18 months, they would be called the Washington Football Team with a block "W" logo for the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

The franchise underwent an extensive search for a new trademark and name, and announced its new branding as the Washington Commanders on February 2, 2022.

Harjo case
The first action in the dispute occurred in 1992, when Suzan Shown Harjo, President of the Morning Star Institute, with six other prominent Native Americans represented by the Dorsey & Whitney law firm of Minneapolis, petitioned the USPTO to cancel the trademark registrations owned by the Redskins' corporate entity of Pro-Football, Inc.  They based their lawsuit on the claim that federal trademark law states that certain trademark registrations are not legal if they are "disparaging, scandalous, contemptuous, or disreputable." The legal battle went on for seven years. In 1999 the PTO judges canceled the federal registration of the mark REDSKINS "on the grounds that the subject marks may disparage Native Americans and may bring them into contempt or disrepute." The owners appealed the decision to a district court in the District of Columbia in Pro-Football, Inc. v. Harjo. The court reversed the USPTO's decision on the grounds of insufficient evidence of disparagement. Subsequent appeals have been rejected on the basis of laches, which means that the specific Native American plaintiffs had pursued their rights in an untimely and delayed manner. In 2009 the Supreme Court declined to take up the case.

Related trademark actions
Since 1992, the USPTO has rejected eleven applications for other trademarks that included the word redskins, based on the same reason of disparagement. Some of the applications were made by Pro-Football, Inc., including "Washington Redskins Cheerleaders", some for other products. The USPTO rejected an application to register "Redskins Hog Rinds" because it "consists of or includes matter which may disparage or bring into contempt or disrepute persons, institutions, beliefs, or national symbols".

Blackhorse case
A second case was filed, Blackhorse v. Pro-Football, Inc., with younger plaintiffs whose standing might not be hindered by laches. On June 18, 2014, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) voted to cancel the six trademarks held by the team in a two-to-one decision that held that the term "redskins" is disparaging to a "substantial composite of Native Americans", and this is demonstrated "by the near complete drop-off in usage of 'redskins' as a reference to Native Americans beginning in the 1960s." The Trademark board asked two questions in determining disparagement:  1)  what is the meaning of the mark as it appears in connection with the goods and services in the registrations and 2) is the meaning of the marks one that may be disparaging.  The questions are to be answered in the context of the respective dates of registration of each mark.

Evidence of disparagement submitted by the petitioners in the case include the frequent references to "scalping" made by sportswriters for sixty years when reporting the Redskins loss of a game, and passages from movies made from the 1940s to the 1960s using "redskin" to refer to Native Americans as a savage enemy. A linguistics expert for the team unsuccessfully argued that the name is merely a descriptive term no different than other uses of color to differentiate people by race. The TTAB also found that the term "redskin" refers to Native Americans (rather than having an "independent meaning" as the team sometimes claimed) as shown by the costumes worn by both the cheerleaders and marching band from the 1960s until the 1980s, and the native imagery used on the press guides for many years.

In a press release the trademark attorney for the team stated that they were confident that they would once again prevail on appeal, and that today's decision will make no difference in the continued use of the Redskins name. Plaintiff Amanda Blackhorse, a social worker and member of the Navajo Nation, said in an interview, "We’ve been through this process for eight years now. We will continue to fight. And, you know, this is not the end for us." Some legal experts have opined that the ruling could stick this time.

The political columnist George Will portrayed the case as an example of  overreach by government regulatory agencies, arguing that there was an "absence of general or Native American revulsion" toward the name. A sports columnist for The Washington Post compared the TTAB's actions to "policing speech".  The cancellation of Federal registration in fact made no change to the team's use of the name, but withdrew the government from the responsibility to regulate the use of the name by anyone. The team retains other rights under common law, but must enforce them without government assistance. However, in the opinion of one intellectual property law firm, the team "may be hesitant to sue another for infringing its marks because of the risk that a court could possibly determine that the team has no protectable interest in the name because of its disparaging nature".

Appeal of Blackhorse decision
The Washington Redskins filed its appeal in the Blackhorse case on August 14, 2014, stating their belief "that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) ignored both federal case law and the weight of the evidence". They also cite infringement of their First Amendment right to free expression. On September 22, 2014 the Native Americans asked that the team's appeal be dismissed because it names them as individuals, which is contrary to federal law, and because the appeal was filed with the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, VA, stating that the Redskins should have filed its case against the patent office in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, DC. In Oct, 2014 Judge Gerald B. Lee rejected the Native American plaintiffs' attempts to have the team's appeal dismissed. The United States Department of Justice entered the case in a limited way by stating that it will defend the constitutionality of the trademark law.

The ACLU filed an Amicus brief stating that while it found the name Redskins repellant, the government should not be able to decide what types of speech are forbidden, and that the provision of the Lanham Act barring the trademark of disparaging terms is unconstitutionally vague in its wording and has not been applied with consistency. On March 23, 2015, the Attorney General's Office filed a brief addressing the Constitutional issues, stating that as commercial speech, the team name and logo are not protected by the First Amendment, and that there is a large number of cases supporting the cancellation of the trademarks. The brief also stated that the court should also reject the claim that the cancellation of trademarks constitutes an illegal taking of valuable property which is barred by the Fifth Amendment. By opening up an inquiry into constitutional issues regarding limits on disparaging speech in order to protect "the unique cultural heritage" of the American Indian population, the case may go well beyond what a football team calls itself. The Navajo Nation filed an amicus curiae brief in support of the decision to cancel the trademarks, due to Pro-Football, Inc. stating in its appeal that individual members of the Navajo Nation such as former chairman Peter McDonald do not find the name disparaging. The brief states that these individuals speak only for themselves, while the tribe’s elected, appointed and traditional leaders speak for the Navajo people and present “unified opposition” to the team name because it is disparaging and has a negative psychological effect on tribal members.

On July 8, 2015, Judge Lee affirmed the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Judge Lee denied the team's summary judgment motions challenging the constitutionality of the Lanham Act and granted the Blackhorse Defendants' summary judgment motions, finding that "the evidence before the Court supports the legal conclusion that...the Redskin Marks consisted of matter that 'may disparage' a substantial composite of Native Americans." The decision does not bar the team from using the marks going forward, and the order itself is subject to further appeal.

Team president Bruce Allen expressed surprise at the decision, and that a summary judgement was made by the judge based upon the evidence submitted rather than proceeding to a trial. While the team continues to have certain rights to its trademarks, it must take action to protect those rights individually. The cancellation of federal registration of the trademarks means that the government will no longer take any action against anyone else using the name or logo, such as blocking counterfeit goods from being imported into the country.

On October 30, 2015 Pro-Football, Inc. filed its appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. In addition to maintaining the validity of all the arguments rejected by both the TTAB and the first appeal, the team has added a list of offensive names that have been given trademarks, thus claiming unequal treatment. The names cited as offensive are mainly sexual or scatological, but do include the racial terms "yid", "dago", "gringo" and "negro". Eighteen law professors have jointly filed an amicus brief in the case stating that the relevant section of the Lanham Act is an unconstitutional intrusion into freedom of expression, and rejecting the TTAB opinion that trademarks are government speech not protected by the first amendment. Ron Katz, sports attorney and Chair Emeritus of the Institute of Sports Law and Ethics at Santa Clara University, expects the team to win its appeal based upon constitutional grounds, while describing the trademark as "repugnant".

These cases prompted a range of opinions from law professors.
Megan M. Carpenter, a professor and co-director of the Center for Law and Intellectual Property at the Texas A&M University School of Law: Trademark law should not be used to make moral decisions, which change over time, and notes that the law has been applied unevenly.
Christine Haight Farley, a professor at American University Washington College of Law: A distinction should be made between trademarks and government registration. Protection of free speech may allow any trademark to be used, but registration places a seal of approval which should not be given to racist trademarks.
Sonia Katyal, professor of law and faculty co-director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology at the University of California, Berkeley: A distinction should be made between a racially sensitive trademark being used ironically by the targets of racism in order to reclaim it, and one used offensively. In addition, denying registration is not limiting speech, since the trademark may be used without government protection.
Ashutosh Bhagwat, professor of constitutional law at the University of California, Davis, School of Law: Banning any trademark is an unconstitutional violation of free speech protection.

Supreme Court review
Both the USPTO and Pro-Football, Inc. requested a review by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) of the same legal issue, the constitutionality of banning a disparaging trademark. The USPTO appealed the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit which found in December 2015 that part of the Lanham Act is unconstitutional. That case (Matal v. Tam) involved the denial of a trademark for an Asian-American rock band, "The Slants". The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) filed an amicus brief supporting the constitutionality of the Lanham Act, NAPABA President Cyndie Chang stating “Racial slurs should not be recognized as commercial speech through federally-protected trademarks. "Freedom of speech does not require that the government allow racially derogatory terms to be trademarked so that a trademark owner can have exclusive rights to use and monetize such terms." On June 19, 2017 the court ruled unanimously in favor of Tam, the majority opinion stating "The disparagement clause violates the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause. Contrary to the Government’s contention, trademarks are private, not government speech." Both the Native American petitioners and the Justice Department have withdrawn from any further litigation now that the Supreme Court has rendered the legal issue moot.

While team owner Daniel Snyder expressed the opinion that the court decision was a victory for the team, the executive director of the NCAI asserted that the name remains a slur, and the decision that grants it First Amendment protection does not alter any of the arguments against its continued use.

title: Santa Caterina da Siena, Naples

text:
The church of Santa Caterina da Siena is located in the city center of Naples, Italy, and while built in the 16th century, the interior was decorated by Baroque era artists over the next two centuries.

History
The church building was commissioned in the 1570s by Don John of Austria, the victorious admiral during the Battle of Lepanto. It was attached to a nearby hospital of Santa Maria della Vittoria, then later to the hospital of San Giacomo. In 1613, the church was transferred to the Dominican Order, who established a nearby cloistered monastery. At present, the church is owned by the Archdiocese of Naples who lets a private non-profit music Foundation, the Centro di Musica Antica Pietà de' Turchini, founded in 1997 to highlight performances and research of Neapolitan 16th-18th century musical and theatrical works.

Description
The interior contains a holy water font attributed to the studio of Cosimo Fanzago. In 1760, the floor was decorated in maiolica tiles. In 1766, the ceiling was frescoed by Vincenzo Diano with the Glorification of the Church (1784). The nave ceiling was painted by Fedele Fischetti, depicting a Glory of Saint Catherine, and in the tribune, God the Father and the Evangelists, and in the lunettes above the altar, the Cardinal and Theologic virtues. The main altarpiece depicts the Mystical Marriage of St Catherine by Lorenzo De Caro.

There are a number of chapels. The first chapel on the right has an altarpiece depicting St Augustine by Francesco De Mura. The second chapel on the right has an altarpiece depicting Calvary (1782) by Giacinto Diana. The third chapel on the right has frescoes by Fedele Fischetti, as well as an altarpiece depicting the Circumcision of Christ.

The 1968 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 5, 1968. All 50 states and the District of Columbia were part of the 1968 United States presidential election. Virginia voters chose twelve electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States.

For over sixty years Virginia had had the most restricted electorate in the United States due to a cumulative poll tax and literacy tests. Virginia would be almost entirely controlled by the conservative Democratic Byrd Organization for four decades, although during the Organization’s last twenty years of controlling the state it would direct many Virginia voters away from the national Democratic Party due to opposition to black civil rights and to the fiscal liberalism of the New Deal. After the Twenty-Fourth Amendment and Harper v. Virginia State Board of Elections the state’s electorate would substantially expand since the lower classes were no longer burdened by poll taxes. At the same time, the postwar Republican trend of the Northeast-aligned Washington D.C. suburbs, which had begun as early as 1944, would accelerate and become intensified by the mobilisation of working-class Piedmont whites against a national Democratic Party strongly associated with black interests.

Predictions
The following newspapers gave these predictions about how Virginia would vote in the 1968 presidential election:

Analysis
Virginia was won by Republican nominee and former Vice President Richard Nixon of California with 43.41 percent of the vote, against incumbent Vice President Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota with 32.53 percent and former Alabama Governor George Wallace who gained 23.55 percent. Nixon also won the national election with 43.42 percent of the vote. Regardless, all candidates had strong regional support in the state; Nixon's votes came mostly from Northern Virginia and the Appalachian Mountain areas, while Humphrey's votes were mainly from the Tidewater region and unionized coal counties in Southwest Virginia, which had both benefited from increased voter registration under the Voting Rights Act and been centres of opposition to the Byrd Organization in previous generations. Wallace received his core support in the Southern Virginia counties, where the core of Byrd machine power had been located.

, this is the last occasion when Powhatan County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. It is also the last occasion when Lunenburg County, Mecklenburg County and Pittsylvania County have not voted for the Republican nominee. Essex County would not vote Democratic again until 1996, and James City County would not vote Democratic again until 2020.

Nixon’s victory was the first of ten consecutive Republican victories in the state, as Virginia would not vote for a Democratic candidate again until Barack Obama in 2008. Since 2008, Virginia has consistently voted for the Democratic presidential candidate. Nixon was the first Republican to ever carry Amherst and Craig counties, the first since Warren G. Harding in 1920 to carry Dickenson County and Russell County, and the first since Herbert Hoover in 1928 to carry Patrick County.

Campaign
51% of white voters supported Nixon, 28% supported Wallace, and 21% supported Humphrey.

title: Paratropis tuxtlensis

text:
Paratropis tuxtlensis is a species of spider in the family Paratropididae.  Discovered in 2014 by a group of researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the species is only known to occur in the Volcán San Martin Biosphere Reserve in Veracruz, Mexico.

Description
The holotype male measured 8.20 millimeters in length, and the paratype female measured 12.90 millimeters.  When cleansed of soil (see Behavior, below) the body is reddish, with orange coloration on its chelicerae, sternum, endites, and labium.  Legs are olive colored, and spinnerets are yellow.

Paratropis tuxtlensis is distinguished from Paratropis papilligera, the only other species of Paratropis where the male is known, by its conical as opposed to cylindrical tibia and by the number of teeth in the cheliceral furrows: P. tuxtlensis has a total of 20 while P. papilligera has 24.

The species has an orbiculate carapace and legs covered in barbed and clubbed setae.

Range and habitat

Paratropis tuxtlensis is the first member of the family Paratropididae to be found in North America.  It is native to tropical rainforest in Veracruz, Mexico.  The first recorded specimens were discovered under rocks at an elevation of ; two more individuals were collected nearby at a lower elevation.

Etymology
The species name P. tuxtlensis is derived from Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, the only place to date where it has been found.

Behavior

Paratropis tuxtlensis excretes a sticky substance from glandular pores in its exoskeleton, which helps particles of soil adhere to its body.  This most likely serves as a form of camouflage to conceal it from both predators and prey.  When exposed, the spider remains completely motionless in order to avoid detection.

title: Elric of Melniboné (novel)

text:
Elric of Melniboné is a 1972 fantasy novel by Michael Moorcock. It is the first original full-length novel to feature Elric, the last emperor of the stagnating island civilisation of Melniboné who wields the cursed, soul-drinking sword Stormbringer.

Plot
After the death of his father, Elric reigns as the 428th sorcerer-king of the island kingdom of Melniboné, known as the Dragon Isle. Elric believes that, after millennia of dominating their world, the Melnibonéans have become decadent, and sees that their empire is crumbling and is now a shadow of its former glory. Only the capital city, Imrryr, has not reverted to wilderness. Melnibonéans are a haughty, arrogant race who live only for pleasure and novelty. Slavery and torture are common practices.

Elric, a sickly albino, requires potions and magic to sustain his health. He has spent much of his youth on Dreaming Couches, which allowed him to learn from virtual years worth of experiences in a short time. Elric is in love with his cousin, Cymoril. Elric confides to Cymoril that he would like to bring morality and fairness to Melniboné and that he is not interested in cruelty or power, as were his ancestors.

Yyrkoon, Cymoril's brother, also desires Cymoril and plots to take the throne of Melniboné for himself. When a fleet of invaders from the Young Kingdoms attacks Imrryr, Elric leads the Melnibonéan war barges to destroy them. During the battle, Yyrkoon takes advantage of Elric's weakened physical state and pushes him overboard into the sea.

Elric is saved from drowning by the sea god Straasha, who transports Elric back to Melniboné. Elric plans his punishment for Yyrkoon, but Yyrkoon escapes, kidnapping Cymoril. Elric makes a pact with Arioch, one of the Lords of Chaos and patron of Melniboné, for Arioch's help in finding Cymoril. Straasha grants use of The Ship That Travels Over Land And Sea to Elric, and Elric overcomes Yyrkoon's magic defenses. Yyrkoon places Cymoril in a spell-induced sleep and escapes to an alternate plane. Elric pursues him through the Shade Gate.

Elric finds Yyrkoon in a magical chamber containing the mythical Runeblades: Stormbringer and Mournblade. Wielding Stormbringer, a sentient sword that devours souls, Elric defeats Yyrkoon. Rather than putting Yyrkoon to death, Elric relinquishes the throne to him and decides to wander the Young Kingdoms alone and learn of the world outside of Melniboné.

Critical response
Writing for NPR, Jason Sheehan called Elric "far and away the coolest, grimmest, moodiest, most elegant, degenerate, drug-addicted, cursed, twisted and emotionally weird mass murderer of them all".

title: Yun Mu Kwan

text:
Yun Mu Kwan (Hangul: 연무관, Hanja: 研武館, eng.Hall or Institute for Martial Study) was one of the original five "kwans" that arose in Korea following World War II. It was the name of the place where a generic form of Japanese karate (Shotokan) was being taught by a number of Korean students who had studied in Japan and returned to Korea in the first half of the twentieth century, bringing the Japanese art with them. Yun Mu Kwan, as a style, would eventually be renamed Jidokwan by various former students and would become one of the core styles that contributed to the development of what is today known as Taekwondo.

Unlike the other kwans, the Yun Mu Kwan, as a name for a distinct style, disappeared very early in the history of Korean karate and was never formally consolidated into the new Korean national sport of taekwondo although Jidokwan, its successor style, was. There are groups today, however, that still make use of the older name.

History

The Yun Mu Kwan was originally a judo school in Seoul, started by Kyung Suk Lee during the Japanese occupation of Korea.

Chun Sang Sup, a returning Korean university student who had picked up karate during his university days in Japan began teaching it at the Yun Mu Kwan. His background had been in Shotokan karate, having studied it under the direct or indirect tutelage of that system's founder, Gichin Funakoshi.

On returning to Seoul, Chun began teaching the art to judo students at the Yun Mu Kwan and eventually became the head instructor there. However, Chun taught at the Yun Mu Kwan for only a few years prior to the break out of hostilities between North and South Korea, having disappeared during that conflict, the Korean War.

After the war, many of his  former students began training again, but at a new location and under different teachers who named their style Jidokwan (meaning the 'Hall or Institute for Wisdom's Way'). The Jidokwan was subsequently rolled up, along with most of the other Korean "kwans," into the newly systematized Korean national combat sport of "Taekwondo" (meaning "Foot Fist Way") circa 1959 to 1961.

Disappearance and survival
During his tenure at the Yun Mu Kwan, Chun shared teaching responsibilities with a colleague, Yoon Byung-in, who had also studied karate in Japan under another practitioner, Kanken Toyama who taught at a place called the Shudokan (although Toyama declined to characterize his methods as a distinct karate style).  Yoon Byung-in moved on to found his own school of Korean karate after only a brief stint with Chun at the Chosun Yun Mu Kwan and Chun, himself, went missing during the Korean War (1950–1953) leaving the martial arts system he had founded as Yun Mu Kwan to be restarted (at war's end) under different instructors and with the new name of Ji Do Kwan (or Jidokwan), meaning the Hall (or Institute) of Wisdom's Way.  Eventually Jidokwan would be absorbed, along with most of the other original Korean "kwans," into the new national art which was ultimately named "taekwondo" and which developed a standardized approach to training and methods that differed in many ways from the older transplanted Japanese-sourced karate styles it had come from. The aim of the creators of taekwondo was to unify the diverse methods and practices of the art and put their own Korean stamp on it.

There's some evidence, however, that the early Yun Mu Kwan of Chun Sang Sup produced more than one offshoot school.  According to the U.S. Taekwondo Han Moo Kwan website, its founder, Kyo Yoon Lee, having originally trained under Chun at the Yun Mu Kwan, initially began teaching Korean karate under the Jidokwan banner at the end of the Korean War to fellow returning Chosun Yun Mu Kwan students, but subsequently left to found his own school which he dubbed Han Moo Kwan.  In later years he maintained that his school actually traces its roots back to the former Chosun Yun Mu Kwan itself, rather than to Ji Do Kwan, making Han Moo Kwan, like Ji Do Kwan, a derivative school of the older Yun Mu Kwan.

Complicating the picture, somewhat, is the possibility that there may have been more than one early Korean karate system bearing the Yun Mu Kwan name as there appears to have been a second Korean karate "kwan", with the "Yun Moo Kwan" appellation established after the closing of the original Chosun Yun Mu Kwan, the advent of the Korean War and the older style's subsequent revival as Jidokwan.  According to KANG Won Sik and LEE Kyong Myong, in "A Modern History of Taekwondo" (Published in March 1999 by Bokyung Moonhwasa at 389-22 Seokyo-dong [Mapo-ku, Seoul, Korea 121-210] and haltingly translated for Stanford University from the original Korean), there was a period between the 1950s and 1960s when efforts in Korea at unifying the different kwans (begun around 1953–1955) into a single national system were in disarray.  During this period, the writers report, "more Annex Kwans (sub-kwans) came into existence, such as the Oh Do Kwan, Kang Duk Won, Jung Do Kwan, Han Moo Kwan [referenced in the preceding paragraph], Kuk Mu Kwan, Yun Moo Kwan, Soo Moo Kwan, Chang Hun Kwan, Moon Moo Kwan and others".  The authors don't make clear whether this later reference to "Yun Moo Kwan" alludes to a revival of the older kwan by individuals affiliated with the original group, who were reluctant to give up the connection with the original style (like Kyo Yoon Lee), or if this represented different individuals using the old name to establish something new.  However, the idea of a second or "annex" "kwan" called Yun Mu Kwan could help explain the persistence of "Yun Moo Kwan" as a karate style outside Korea long after the old Chosun Yun Mu Kwan had closed its doors and its karate practitioners had re-established themselves under different names.

Contemporary developments

Post-Unification events
Some practitioners of the original kwans, including some using the "tang soo do" name (another Korean version of the original meaning of the Japanese term "karate-do"), remained outside the new system of "taekwondo" while both Jidokwan and Han Mu Kwan exist today largely within the taekwondo family rather than as active, stand-alone styles. But the Yun Mu Kwan name lingers in different places. There are still practitioners, for instance, using "Yun Moo Kwan" or "Yun Mu Kwan," particularly in parts of Latin America.  For the most part, these practitioners have continued to emphasize the Korean reliance on high kicking, large movements and flashy leaps and acrobatics.  One variant evolved, however, in New York City where a Korean practitioner named Min Kyu Pai began teaching the style after emigrating to the United States in the 1950s.  His early efforts led to the introduction of the style to parts of Central America through one of his students, Francisco Miranda, who helped popularize karate in his native country of El Salvador.

Pai had come to the United States at the age of twenty and, according to one of his successors, James Stewart, worked as a hospital orderly for a time to earn enough to survive while attending a local college.  He taught himself English as he went along, largely, as he confided to Stewart, by going to English language movies.  But he found his true vocation when he began teaching the Korean fighting art he had become accomplished in back home.  In the early days of his involvement in the martial arts scene he would seek new skills by apprenticing himself to more senior karate masters, Stewart has stated, like Jhoon Rhee, one of the early pioneers of taekwondo in the United States.  But his desire to grow his skills did not end with taekwondo and he began to reach out to other styles and systems.  His original New York school (he ran two including a second in Connecticut), called  the Yun Mu Kwan Karate Institute (somewhat redundantly since "kwan" and "institute" are effectively synonymous in this context) was first documented in a contemporary article in Popular Science Magazine in the late 1960s. The school was close to New York City's Chinatown district and, as a result, Pai became deeply involved with a number of local Chinese martial artists who were then teaching their arts nearby (mostly behind closed doors in those days). Pai's methods of practice and of teaching slowly began to change through contact with these martial artists and the absorption of elements from their systems into his. Pai's activities in the 1960s and later were documented by Ramon Korff, a staff photographer, in 1964, for El Nuevo Día.

The Tournament circuit
His early students often distinguished themselves on the tournament circuit, including the free-fighting and kata competition champion, Monroe Marrow, although there was often resistance to the Chinese techniques his students frequently brought to their matches since karate tournament judges of the time were unfamiliar with (and so unwilling to credit) these moves.  Pai eventually distanced himself from the tournament world and turned inward, to the development of a synthesis of Chinese methods, as he found them in New York City, with the older Yun Mu Kwan he had brought with him from Korea.

The Later Yun Mu Kwan
By the early 1970s, Min Kyu Pai's teaching methods had changed so significantly that they ceased, in many ways, to resemble the older form of Yun Mu Kwan with which he had begun.  The most important influence on him at this time was Yang-style tai chi, a soft or internal Chinese martial art which was quite different from other forms of kung fu (among which it is categorized in China). By the early 1970s, Pai had become a formal student of fourth generation Yang style tai chi master Cheng Man-ch'ing.  Cheng, himself, had come to New York City from Taiwan some years earlier and was a renowned senior student of Yang Chengfu, whose version of the tai chi form, dating from the earlier twentieth century, is only to be found in old photographs today. Yang Chengfu was a grandson of the founder of the Yang style of tai chi, Yang Luchan, who had developed and practiced his style of tai chi in the 19th century based on the older, secretive Chen martial art system, now known as Chen style tai chi.

It was Yang Luchan's style of tai chi that became the most widespread in the late 19th and early twentieth centuries thanks to the reputation Yang's skills earned him, becoming, by the twentieth century, the best known of all versions of tai chi practiced around the world. (Beginning in the late twentieth century, as a result of China's opening, the older Chen style of tai chi has caught up to its younger sibling to become at least as well known as Yang style and perhaps even more so, at least in the martial arts community—although there are several other recognized styles as well, including Wu-Hao, Wu and Sun styles).  Min Pai's training in Yang style tai chi under Cheng Man-ch'ing eventually led to the most marked changes in the methods he taught in his later years.

By 1973, Min Kyu Pai's martial art, except for its general karate format, was no longer recognizable as the older form of Yun Mu Kwan with its emphasis on Korean-style high kicking and the hard, direct and aggressive methods of classic Japanese Shotokan.  Instead Pai introduced principles of movement based on tai chi (including yielding to give way and redirect an opponent's force, sensitivity to feel and facilitate the yielding techniques before incoming force, and "circular bodily movement," around an imaginary central axis, to manage and redirect incoming attacks).  In 1992, Pai essentially retired from teaching and relocated to a Zen monastery which he had arranged to have built with the advice and support of then head Abbot of the Zen Studies Society Eido Shimano Roshi. He turned his New York City school over to two of his senior black belts, James Stewart and Carolyn Campora.  Campora continues teaching today.  In 1995, Pai began devoting himself exclusively to monastery affairs, teaching only a small cadre of students until his death in 2004.

Despite the significant differences in the methods he had developed from those he had brought with him from his native Korea, Pai retained the Yun Mu Kwan name for most of his career, until some time after 1987 when he re-dubbed his style "Nabi Su" (meaning "butterfly hand" or "way"), a name he took from a form (a fixed practice routine, called "kata" by the Japanese and "hyung" or "poomse" in Korean) which he had developed in his later years to capture and crystallize the changes in combat methods he had embraced.  A number of his former students, however, continue to practice the style he developed and once taught as Yun Mu Kwan under that older name.

James Farmer was born on 28 October 1823 and was a lifelong resident of the Salford borough. With prior experience as a calico printer, he invented a new printing mechanism and established a business as millwrights and engineers. At the time of his death, this was operating from Adelphi Street as a partnership and was known as Sir James Farmer and Sons. He had suffered a "lingering illness" and his sons — Andrew William Farmer and James Salter Farmer — had been in charge of business for some time. Although primarily concerned with manufacture of machinery for bleaching, cotton spinning and weaving in the textiles industries, in the years immediately preceding his death the business had diversified. Among the newer developments was machinery manufactured for the use and disposal of sewage.

Politician

In late 1864, Farmer was elected as a member of Salford Corporation, the local government organisation for the borough, and remained on the council until his death. He was a member of the Conservative Party and, after 16 years as a councillor, he was made an alderman of the borough. In November 1885 he became mayor, at which time his past work for the council was described as being of "unobtrusive usefulness". He was reappointed to that office for a further year in 1886 and had to deal with significant local scandal concerning corruption at Salford Gas Works. His particular interests in local government were with regard to water supply — he was chairman of the Water Committee for over 25 years — and the fire brigade.

On 5 August 1887, Farmer was one of several incumbent mayors appointed a Knight Bachelor as part of the celebrations for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Salford was then one of the largest boroughs in the country, although dwarfed by its neighbour, Manchester.

Farmer was also a Justice of the Peace in Salford and had been a founder director of the Clayton Aniline Company. He was a Congregationalist.

Death and legacy
Soon after completing his second term as mayor, Farmer visited Australia with his two daughters in an attempt to improve his poor health. He died at his residence in Lytham St. Annes on 21 October 1892. His primary residence was Hope House in Eccles, from where he was taken for burial at Salford Cemetery. His wife had died many years previously and his estate, valued at £20,170, was bequeathed mostly to his children.

The partnership of Sir James Farmer and Sons was converted into a limited company of the same name within a month of his death. The company proposed to carry on the prior business of "machinists, mechanical engineers, machine and engineering toolmakers, boilermakers, ironfounders, brassfounders, millwrights and metalworkers, and to buy, sell, manufacture, convert, let on hire, and deal in machinery, rolling stock, iron, steel, metal implements, tools, utensils and conveniences of all kinds". The share capital was £50,000 and the shareholders included both of his sons and also his brother, Christopher Atkinson Farmer, who for many years was manager of the partnership and also served as a Salford councillor.

title: 1977 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

text:
The 1977 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe was a horse race held at Longchamp on Sunday 2 October 1977. It was the 56th running of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

The winner was Alleged, a three-year-old colt trained in Ireland by Vincent O'Brien and ridden by Lester Piggott. Alleged became the fourth Irish-trained horse to win the race twice after Ballymoss (also trained by O'Brien) in 1957 and Levmoss in 1970. Piggott had previously won the race on Rheingold in 1973.

The contenders
The favourite for the race was Alleged, who had won four of his five races including the Royal Whip Stakes, Gallinule Stakes and Great Voltigeur Stakes. His main rivals in the betting were the British filly Dunfermline, who had inflicted Alleged's only defeat in the St Leger Stakes, the Prix du Jockey Club winner Crystal Palace, the four-year-old Crow, and the five-year-old Orange Bay. The best of the other French contenders appeared to be Malacate (Irish Derby), Kamicia (Prix Vermeille) and Fabuleux Jane. The international entry included the New Zealand-bred, British-trained Balmerino, Mia from Argentina, Cunning Trick from the United States and Vivi from Germany. Alleged started at odds of 3.9/1 ahead of Crystal Palace, Dunfermline and Orange Bay on 8/1 and Crow on 19/2.

The race
Piggott sent Alleged into the lead from the start and set a steady pace with Crystal Palace, Crow and Orange Bay close behind. With no designated pacemakers and none of the recognised stayers making any attempt to challenge for the lead, the Irish colt was allowed to dictate the pace and on the downhill run towards the turn into the straight he led from Crystal Palace, Crow, Montcontour, Orange Bay and Yelpana. On the final turn, Alleged accelerated clear of the field and opened up a lead of four lengths. Although several horses made progress in the closing stages, Alleged was never seriously challenged and won by one and a half lengths from Balmerino, with Crystal Palace taking third, just ahead of Dunfermline and Crow. The winning time was 2:30.6.

title: Kevin Avruch

text:
Kevin Avruch (born the 22 February 1950 in Brooklyn, New York)  is an American anthropologist and sociologist, Dean of the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University. He is the Henry Hart Rice Professor of Conflict Resolution and Professor of Anthropology. He received his PhD in anthropology from the University of California, San Diego in 1978, where he also received his MA in anthropology in 1973. He received his AB from the University of Chicago. Dr. Avruch joined the faculty at George Mason University in 1980 after teaching at the University of Illinois and the University of California, San Diego. He has also taught at the Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies at the University of Malta, the Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego, the United Nations University for Peace in Costa Rica as well as for the Program in Conflict Resolution at Sabancı University in Istanbul. In 2011 he was a Fulbright specialist at the Banaras Hindu University.

Dr. Avruch is notable for his contributions to the developing field of Conflict Analysis and Resolution and has championed the importance of culture in understanding conflict. His work provided a counterbalance to the search for grand theories of human behavior and highlights the need for attending to particularities of culture in conflict analysis and conflict resolution. Together with Peter W. Black, another anthropologist at George Mason University, Avruch critiqued John Burton's theory of Basic Human Needs, asserting that it needed to recognize the fact that needs are understood and met differently in different cultures.

title: Tyson Family Commercial Building

text:
The Tyson Family Commercial Building is a historic commercial building at 151 Adams Street SE in Camden, Arkansas.  Built  1923, this vernacular  story brick commercial block is one of the few to survive in the city from this time.  Its main facade consists of three brick pilasters separated by plate glass windows supported by a metal frame.  These are topped by a series of smaller transom windows.  The two sections of the front are unequal in size, and one is slightly angled from the other.  Although a number of similar buildings were built in the 1920s, most were destroyed by fire in the 1960s.  It has always housed a general store.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

Kenneth Leslie Buehler (November 19, 1919 – April 18, 2019) was an American professional basketball player for the Sheboygan Red Skins and the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. He played in two seasons for the Red Skins and, after serving in the United States Navy in World War II, Buehler returned to professional basketball and played in eight games for the Pistons. During the 1942–43 season, the Red Skins won the National Basketball League (NBL) championship with Buehler as their third-leading scorer. He averaged 7.5 points per game and was also named that season's NBL Rookie of the Year.

Upon returning from the war, Buehler played for Sheboygan in three games late in the 1945–46 season. The following season, he played in only eight games for Fort Wayne before retiring from professional basketball due to a knee problem. He then attended Marquette University's dental school and became a dentist in his post-basketball career.

Buehler died in April 2019 at the age of 99 in Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

title: History of deaf education in Africa

text:
Prior to 1956, the only deaf schools in Africa were in Egypt and South Africa. Andrew Foster brought American Sign Language (ASL), and deaf schools to Africa in 1956. After Andrew Foster's death in 1986, deaf schools have continued to vary and spread across Africa.

Ghana
Deaf education was first introduced by Andrew Foster in 1957, there was no deaf education or organizations prior to that.

Andrew Foster introduced Ghanaian Sign Language, a variety of American Sign Language. Ghanaian Sign Language is the national sign language of deaf people in Ghana. However Ghanaian Sign Language threatens indigenous sign languages, such as Adamorobe Sign Language and Nanabin Sign Language.

There are researchers working to document Adamorobe Sign Language, most indigenous, or village sign languages are not documented.

There are nine schools for the deaf in Ghana.

Kenya
Deaf education in Kenya

Nigeria
Deaf education was first introduced by Andrew Foster in 1957, there was no deaf education or organizations prior to that. He introduced Ghanaian Sign Language, a dialect of ASL. In 1960 Nigerian Sign Language was introduced, also as dialect of ASL and it is the national sign language of Nigeria.

Local sign languages existed prior to these introduced languages, such as Bura Sign Language which is used by the Bura people in a very remote area.

Chadian teachers for the deaf are trained in Nigeria. There are deaf schools in N’Djamena, Sarh, and Moundou.

South Africa

As early as 1863, Irish nuns taught the deaf Irish Sign Language in South Africa.

Tunisia
The January 2012 Tunisian Revolution had positive results for the deaf population of Tunisia. Deaf people were allowed to vote for the first time in 50 years. There are also studies in Italian Sign Language.

title: Manfred Kirchheimer

text:
Manfred Kirchheimer (born 1931) is a documentary film maker and professor of film at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He previously taught at NYIT. He was born in Saarbrücken, Germany, and his family moved to New York City in 1936 to escape Nazi Germany.  After receiving a B.A. from the City College of New York in 1952, he worked primarily as a film editor and he also began making his own films.  A major theme in many of his documentaries is urban life.  His most notable documentaries include: Stations of the Elevated, We Were So Beloved, Tall: The American Skyscraper and Louis Sullivan, and Art Is... The Permanent Revolution.

Biography
In 1936, Kirchheimer's family fled to the United States from Nazi Germany. After arriving, he attended the New York City Public Schools. Upon graduating high school, he began studying film production with Hans Richter at the Hans Richter Institute of Film Techniques at the City College of New York from 1948 to 1952, receiving a B.A.

For the next 24 years, Kirchheimer worked as an editor, director, and camera operator in the New York film industry.  He edited on over 300 films for ABC, CBS, NBC, and National Educational Television.  The subjects of these films ranged from cultural to biographical.  During these years, he also financed his own independent films while also working with Hans Richter and Jay Leyda on films.  In 1963, he was a camera operator for Leo Hurwitz.

As of 2014, Kirchheimer is a professor of film at the School of Visual Arts.

Filmography

Style
Kirchheimer's films typically focus on aspects of urban life.  His films have been described as "hopeful, yet they admonish for the future". He typically uses written commentary on screen rather than voice-over in his films.  He often creates complex layerings of sound to create novel sound environments rather than the sound at the actual scene. About his audience he has said

He also avoids collaborating with others in making films because

Funding
According to Kirchheimer, most of the films he has made he paid for himself. His first film Colossus on the River cost about $3,500 to make. The first grant he received was $10,000 to make Stations of the Elevated, which he said paid for about half of the film.  He also received grants to make We Were So Beloved, which paid for some but not all of the film making.  Kirchheimer stated that he probably can make documentaries at lower cost than others because his former students help him without pay, but if he ever does make money from a film, they will get some of the proceeds. Kirchheimer stated in 2010 that he has never made back the money he has spent on his films.

Films

Awards and Grants
Kirchheimer has received a number of awards and grants for his documentary films including awards from: Athens International Film Festival, Yale Film Festival, American Film Festival, RiverRun International Film Festival, Ciné Golden Eagle, American Film Institute, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and New York State Council on the Arts.

title: Czech Republic at the FIFA World Cup

text:
This is a record of the Czech Republic's results at the FIFA World Cup, including those of Czechoslovakia which is considered as the Czech Republic's predecessor by FIFA. The FIFA World Cup is an international association football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II.

The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase (officially called the World Cup Finals). The qualification phase, which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals. The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation (or nations) over a period of about a month. The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final.

Czechoslovakia have been one of the better performing national teams in the history of the World Cup, having ended twice as runners-up, in 1934 and in 1962. Between 1930 and 1994 they qualified for 8 out of 13 World Cups they played qualifiers for, and did not enter in two other World Cups.

After the political split-up into Czech Republic and Slovakia, the official successor football team Czech Republic has been less successful at the World Cup than Czechoslovakia, qualifying only for one out of the seven tournaments held since (the 2006 FIFA World Cup) without surviving the group phase.

Throughout the World Cup history, Brazil became the team's historical rival. The two countries have met each other five times but the Czechs (always as Czechoslovakia) never managed to win, with three victories for the Brazilian side and two draws. Two other historical opponents in the finals were (West) Germany and Italy with three encounters each: Czechoslovakia won, drew and lost once against the Germans and the matches against Italy all ended in a defeat.

Professional career

Baltimore Orioles

Álvarez played for Camagüey in the Cuban National Series before starting his career in America. On July 24, 2013, Álvarez signed with the Baltimore Orioles organization as an international free agent. He began his professional career with the rookie-level Gulf Coast Orioles, going 4-for-9 with a home run in three games, before he was promoted to the High-A Frederick Keys. After hitting .436/.463/.641 with two home runs in 10 games, he was promoted to the Double-A Bowie Baysox. He finished the year hitting .342/.373/.570 with four home runs in 22 games.

He was assigned to Norfolk to begin the 2015 season, and was named an International League All-Star.

On August 28, 2015, Álvarez was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time. He made his Major League Baseball debut the same day as the starting right fielder against the Texas Rangers. In the game, Álvarez went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. On September 11, Alvarez hit his first career Major League home run off of Kansas City Royals starter Danny Duffy. He finished his rookie season 7-for-29 in 12 games with Baltimore.

title: Surat City Bus

text:
Surat City Bus is the name under which city buses are operated in Surat, Gujarat, India. It is operated by a private entity-‘Sitilink’ under a public private partnership model for the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC). The model is based on an earlier model by the Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) which operated bus services in Ahmedabad on a public-private partnership, but subsequently failed. In 2012, the Government of Gujarat announced that it would set up similar transport facilities in 180 cities across the state under a public-private partnership.

History
In 1997, the Surat Municipal Corporation had submitted a feasibility report to the Government of Gujarat, for privatisation of bus services in Surat city, as existing services being operated by the state-run Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) were found to be loss-making and insufficient for the city. In 1999, the GSRTC inaugurated a new bus stand and office at Udhna for city and rural bus services in and around the city.

Operations
In August 2007, the SMC entered into an agreement with a private entity to provide bus services for a period of five years. These buses were referred to as Redline buses and were fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG). In 2013, the SMC was unable to find a new operator, forcing it to extend the existing agreement by a few months. Subsequently, Redline services were suspended because the operator could not break even with the service. This reportedly affected 80,000 commuters per day across the city.
In July 2013, the SMC launched a new line of services labelled Blueline buses, operated by a different operator. A total of 120 bus stops were constructed by the SMC prior to the Blueline buses being flagged off. The Blueline service is expected to run 125 buses for six years. The passenger number has risen from 3,000 to 65,000 and the SMC's revenue, too, shot up from ₹46,000 to ₹600,000 daily. The ministry said that in Surat city the model shift of passengers from autorickshaw to city bus is about 86.91 per cent.
At least 6.18 per cent of two-wheel passengers, 0.67 per cent of car users and nearly 5 per cent of other passengers have started using city buses.

Fleet
It consists of 576 buses and runs on 28 different routes, covering 85 per cent of urban area. More than 2 lakh passengers use public transport on a daily.
