title: Forest Grove Fire and Rescue

text:
Forest Grove Fire and Rescue is the municipal fire department for the city of Forest Grove, Oregon. Started in 1894, the department has two stations used to provide fire fighting and emergency medical services to both the city and the Forest Grove Rural Fire Protection District. The department also provides administrative support to the neighboring Cornelius Fire Department.

History
Forest Grove started a volunteer fire department on February 4, 1894, with combination of two fire companies. The department was created after bucket brigades were determined to be inefficient, and the two fire companies spent too much time fighting each other. One of the first chiefs was J. G. Lenneville, who was first elected to the post in 1901, and served through at least 1923. In December 1907, the city purchased a hose wagon for $100. The city replaced the fire bell that had been housed at a church and at the Old College Hall at Pacific University with an electric siren in October 1925. A 1907 steamer used by the Portland Fire Bureau was bought by Forest Grove in 1933 for $150, and is still owned by the fire department.

In 1956, the Forest Grove Rural Fire Protection District merged into Forest Grove Fire Department. Following the May 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens, the city used the department to clean the ash off of city streets. As of 1980, the Rural District covered  and paid 39% of the combined entities' costs, though split capital expenditures at 50–50. At that time the combined department had 11 paid and 45 volunteer firefighters.

One of the largest fires in the city came on July 14, 1982, when four downtown stores were burned, which required four alarms to contain. Firefighters from Gaston, Banks, Hillsboro, Cornelius, and Washington County Fire District 2 all helped put out the fire that caused $800,000 in damage. By 1983 the Rural District had shrunk to  with 6,000 residents. The department converted an old 1973 Seagrave into a new pumper truck in 1984, saving $40,000 over buying a new piece of apparatus.

The Spring Break Quake in 1993 damaged the main fire station on Ash Street in downtown, which was later repaired. In late 2006 and early 2007 the department was surrounded by turmoil concerning then chief Bob Mills as well as forgeries by Gary Clay Davis on fire inspection reports. The city was contracted by neighboring Cornelius in 2010 to provide administrative support to that city's combined city and rural fire department. In 2012, the department added living quarters to Station 7 in Gales Creek.

Apparatus and stations

The department maintains two stations. The main station is located in downtown Forest Grove on Ash Street, which also houses the 1907 American LaFrance steamer. A second station is located in rural Gales Creek west of the city. The Gales Creek station, number 7, is staffed entirely by volunteers.

Organization
Forest Grove Fire is led by Fire Chief Michael Kinkade. The service area for the rural district includes the communities of Gales Creek, Dilley, and Verboort. For 2013, the department had a total of 3,307 service calls, of which 2,297 were for emergency medical services and only 110 for fires. Of the 3,307 total calls, 2,794 were in the City of Forest Grove, while 408 were in the Rural Protection District.

title: Netto UK

text:
Netto was a discount supermarket chain in the United Kingdom. Netto arrived in the United Kingdom in December 1990, as part of an internationalisation process by its Danish owner, Salling Group. By May 2010, it operated 193 stores, before it was sold to Asda. In June 2014, Salling Group returned Netto to the United Kingdom, as a 50:50 joint venture with Sainsbury's.

In July 2016, the two companies announced they would end the joint venture, and close all of its stores, after Sainsbury's chose to focus on its main business ahead of any further investment.

History

Foundation

Netto began operating in England in Leeds, on 13 December 1990, with the company's United Kingdom headquarters being in the former mining village of South Elmsall, West Yorkshire.

Expansion
Netto primarily expanded in central England, before moving into Southern England, namely London. In January 2005, plans for a £200 million investment in South Wales were announced, but were cancelled for logistical issues, resulting in the sale of stores in Barry and Caerphilly. 1,700 jobs were promised in the expansion, but only a few were created.

By May 2010, there were 193 stores in the United Kingdom, all in England and Wales.

Sale to Asda
In May 2010, Netto UK was bought by Asda for £778 million, to increase its smaller store portfolio. The rebranding of 147 former Netto stores, under the Asda brand was complete by 29 November 2011. Competition laws required Asda to sell the remaining forty seven stores to other companies, such as Morrisons, the convenience store Ugo, and other retailers.

Re establishment with Sainsbury's
In June 2014, Salling Group announced a 50:50 joint venture, to operate supermarkets with Sainsbury's. The stores were to be between  and  in size. Netto opened the first new store in Moor Allerton, Leeds, on 6 November 2014, followed by stores in Sheffield Kilner Way Retail Park, Manchester Heaton Park, Doncaster Edenthorpe and Ormskirk The Hattersley Centre.

On 13 April 2015, it was announced that The Co-operative Food store in Hedon, East Yorkshire, would become the sixth Netto store to launch, following the sale of the existing store.

By December 2015, the company planned to have around 15 Netto stores in Northern England. By 25 January 2016, however, the business operated thirteen stores. On 4 July 2016, it was announced that following a strategic review of the joint partnership, that all stores would be closed during August 2016.

Former operations

Stores
By 2011, 193 Netto stores were sold to Asda, who under Competition Commission requirements then disposed of twenty seven stores to Morrisons, and twenty stores to Haldanes (including Ugo). This venture failed, with Haldanes going into administration in February 2012, with the twenty stores being sold to Poundstretcher.

The fate of the stores were as follows:
 165 stores rebranded to Asda.
 20 stores sold to Haldanes (Ugo).
 27 stores sold to Morrisons.
 Two stores demolished.

The Netto store in Halifax, West Yorkshire was demolished. There were proposals for the store to be turned into offices, whilst the car park was developed into Broad Street Plaza, an entertainment complex.
The store in Wolverhampton City Centre was also demolished in 2015 and developed into the new market area.

Store format
Netto stores carried a discount supermarket style store format. Many prices were very similar to wholesale prices, in a style and concept closest to the Kwik Save brand. To enforce fairness to all shoppers, many offers were limited to six per person. Netto sold brand name products, such as Pepsi and Walkers Crisps, which were often parallel imports.

title: George Barnett Smith

text:
George Barnett Smith (17 May 1841 – 2 January 1909) was an English author and journalist.

Life
Born at Ovenden, Yorkshire, on 17 May 1841, George Barnett Smith was the son of Titus and Mary Smith. He was educated at the British Lancastrian school in Halifax, then travelled to London where he worked as a journalist.

From 1865 to 1868 Smith was on the editorial staff of The Globe, and from 1868 to 1876 on that of The Echo. He was subsequently a contributor to The Times. With literary tastes and poetical ambition, Smith managed to become a contributor to the major magazines, among them the Edinburgh Review, the Fortnightly Review, and the Cornhill Magazine.

In 1889 lung trouble forced Smith to leave London for Bournemouth, and for the rest of his life he was an invalid. A Conservative government granted him a civil list pension in 1891, and a Liberal government increased it in 1906. Writing to the last, he died at Bournemouth on 2 January 1909, and was buried in the cemetery there.

Works
Smith made a reputation as author with a series of biographies, the first of which dealt with Percy Bysshe Shelley (1877).  A strong liberal in politics, he was more successful in his Life of W. E. Gladstone (1879; 14th edit. 1898), and in his Life and Speeches of John Bright (1881). There followed popular lives of Victor Hugo (1885), Queen Victoria (1886; new edit. 1901), and the German Emperor William I (1887). His most ambitious publication, History of the English Parliament (2 vols. 1892), occupied him five years. Among his other works were:

 Poets and Novelists, 1875.
 English Political Leaders, 1881.
 Women of Renown, 1893.
 Noble Womanhood, 1894.
 The United States, 1897.
 Canada, 1898.
 Heroes of the Nineteenth Century, 3 vols. 1899–1901.
 The Romance of the South Pole, 1900.

Smith published under the pseudonym of Guy Roslyn three volumes of verse and George Eliot in Derbyshire (1876). He was a contributor to the early volumes of the Dictionary of National Biography, and his article on Elizabeth Barrett Browning in the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica (1876) earned him the friendship of Robert Browning. Some of Smith's work were included in English Etchings (1884–87).

Family
Smith was twice married: (1) to Annie Hodson (died 1868); (2) in 1871, to Julia Timmis, who survived him. He had four daughters, of whom two survived him.

At the University of Alabama, Meadow became the Crimson Tide's first four-time first-team All-American. She left Alabama as the career record holder in most every category. She finished with a 71.89 scoring average, just 0.17 strokes above par per round over her 132 career rounds. Meadow won nine career tournaments - three times more than anyone else in school history, men's or women's - while carding school records with 73 career rounds of par or better, 125 counting rounds (95.5 percent) and 404 birdies.

Meadow was part of the Tide's first NCAA Women's Golf Championship in 2012 and is a recipient of the 2014 Elite 89 Award. She is also the only Southeastern Conference women's golfer to achieve both first team All-American and first team Academic All-American honors in consecutive years.

This remains her best result at a major championship to date, equalled by joint third in the 2023 Women's PGA Championship. In 2014, she achieved her highest ever position in the Women's World Golf Rankings with number eighty-two.

Meadow represented Ireland at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Meadow gained an LPGA Tour card for 2017 via the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.

At the 2020 Summer Olympics, held in August 2021, she finished 7th.

Meadow came joint third at the 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, receiving the largest ever prize check of her career at $423,070. This pushed her back into the top 100 in the world rankings, into 89th place.

title: Morgan Fisher (artist)

text:
Morgan Hall Fisher (born 1942, in Washington, D.C.) is an American experimental filmmaker and artist best known for his structuralist and minimalist films referencing the material processes of celluloid film and the means and methods of producing moving images, including the camera, the director and crew, and the editing process. Since the 1990s, Fisher has also been producing paintings and installation works. His work has been included in three Whitney Biennial exhibitions, 1985, 2004 and 2014. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1987.

Fisher's work has been noted for its relationship to the Southern California landscape and its architecture during a time when the region was staking an aesthetic and intellectual claim in the larger art world. Curator and critic Stuart Comer writes, "Windshields, billboards, movie screens, ocean views, econ-o-box apartment buildings and long expanses of asphalt and concrete form a unique Angeleno vocabulary of monochrome surfaces on which the symbolic configuration called California is played out. This seemingly limitless expanse of flat planes is the arena in which Fisher has staked his challenge to existing regimes of representation and narrative."

Early life and education

Fisher majored in Art History at Harvard University (1960–1964) before moving to the West Coast. He attended USC from 1964 to 1965, and worked toward an MFA in the Motion Picture Division at UCLA the following year.

Work

After ending his studies, Fisher worked in the Hollywood film industry, working in support roles on projects by low-budget master Roger Corman and Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler. Between 1968 and 1974, he created ten of his own films. His 1984 16 mm film, Standard Gauge, was widely acclaimed, and inspired the title for his 2005 exhibition at the Whitney Museum.

Fisher cites visual artists, such as Sol LeWitt and Andy Warhol, as influences. His 2003 film, (), consists of a series of inserts—shots from an alternate angle, usually of details, actions, or objects that clarify the action of the main shots—harvested from 16 mm commercial films and assembled according to a system influenced by LeWitt, allowing the order of the shots to be determined by this system. Fisher explains in the film's program notes: "A rule, or a method, underlies (), and I have obeyed it, even if the rule and my obedience to it are not visible."

Fisher's work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; FRAC Ile-de-France, Paris, France; Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, California; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, California; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden; Deutsche Kinemathek, Berlin, Germany; and Generali Foundation, Vienna, Austria. Fisher's paintings have been exhibited at the Generali Foundation in Vienna, Austria; Neuer Aachener Kunstverein in Aachen, Germany; Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands; Portikus in Frankfurt, Germany; and Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach, Germany.

title: Copper Country Limited

text:
The Copper Country Limited was a passenger train operated by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (the "Milwaukee Road") and the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway (DSS&A) between Chicago, Illinois and Calumet, Michigan, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It operated from 1907 to 1968.

History

According to historian Jim Scribbins the name "Copper Country Limited" was first used in March 1907 to describe an existing Chicago–Champion, Michigan–Calumet service which had run since 1899. The DSS&A handled the train north of Champion. The train operated overnight in both directions.

With the arrival of the Chippewa-Hiawatha on the Milwaukee Division during May 1938, the Copper Country Limited took a back seat on the Milwaukee Road's trains to Upper Michigan. During 1958, the through Sault Ste. Marie sleeper was discontinued entirely after several cutbacks leaving only the sleeper to Calumet. As ridership continued to slide the Milwaukee offered the sleeper only three days a week beginning in the spring of 1964. During its final years, the Copper Country carried only a few cars. Its existence persisted almost entirely because of the lucrative U.S. mail contracts that kept many similar trains running across the country. The Copper Country Limited lost its mail car in October 1967. With little reason to keep it and few riders remaining, the train made its last runs on March 7, 1968.

Timetable
The summer of 1967 timetable shows the northbound Copper Country Limited leaving Chicago at 7:25 p.m., arriving at Milwaukee at 8:50 p.m., leaving Milwaukee at 9:20 p.m, stopping at Green Bay from 12:20 a.m. to 12:55 a.m. and arriving at Champion, Michigan at 6:45 a.m. On Soo Line Railroad tracks, the Copper Country Limited left Champion at 7:20 a.m. and arrived in Calumet, Mich. at 10:05 a.m. The train made 31 stops in the 424 miles between Chicago and Calumet. The southbound Copper Country Limited left Calumet at 5 p.m., stopped at Champion from 7:40 to 7:50 p.m., Green Bay from 1:15 to 1:45 a.m., Milwaukee from 5:15 to 6:05 a.m. and arrived at Chicago at 7:45 a.m. The route had 31 stops between Calumet and Chicago.

Equipment
In steam days, the Copper Country Limited was hauled by non-streamlined Pacific 4-6-2 steam locomotives.  In 1952, diesel locomotives took over and classes included EMD FP7, EMD E7A and EMD E9.

title: Martin Wolff (sculptor)

text:
Martin Wolff (19 May 1852, Berlin – 6 October 1919, Berlin) was a German sculptor.

Life
He was the only son of sculptor Albert Wolff of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. From 1871 to 1875, he studied at the Prussian Academy of Art under Eduard Daege, followed by study trips to Vienna and Italy. His training was completed in his father's studio. In 1880, his figure group "Theseus Finden die Waffen Seines Vaters" (Theseus Finding His Father's Weapons) brought him a scholarship to Paris. From 1882 to 1883, he was in Rome and established his own studio upon returning to Berlin. The late 1890s proved to be a hard time for artists and his financial distress was relieved only when he was given a commission to work on the Kaiser's Siegesallee (Victory Avenue) project, possibly based on his father's reputation. His work earned him the Order of the Crown, Fourth Class. Although he became very successful afterward, he never grew beyond the Academic style taught to him by his father.

Selected major works
 1889-1898: Bust monuments for notable people who contributed to medicine and public health, at the Charité, Berlin: Heinrich Adolf von Bardeleben (1889), Eduard Heinrich Henoch (1890),  (1893),  Ludwig Traube (1895) and  (1898). Due to the fact that Henoch, Traube and Spinola were Jewish, their busts were melted down in 1940. The busts have since been replaced with memorial trees.
 1893: Fritz Reuter Monument, Neubrandenburg, created with the assistance of Wilhelm Wandschneider
 1899: "Denkmal 1870/71" (Monument for the Franco-Prussian War), "Viktoria mit sterbendem Krieger" (Victoria with a Dying Warrior), bronze figure group. Neustrelitz, Bahnhofsplatz; destroyed in World War II
 1901: Siegesallee Group 21, consisting of Johann Georg, Elector of Brandenburg, as the central figure; flanked by Count Rochus zu Lynar, a military engineer who built the Spandau Citadel, and Lampert Distelmeyer, Chancellor of the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
 1906 Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, bust monument, Weißwasser, Jahn-Park.
 1909 Frederick William, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, bronze statue, Neustrelitz, Paradeplatz; destroyed in 1944.
 1911 Joachim II Hector, Elector of Brandenburg, bronze statue, Stadtschloss, Berlin; missing and presumed destroyed.
 1912 Gaspard II de Coligny, bronze statue, Wilhelmshaven.

title: Mrs McArdy

text:
Mrs McArdy (1974 – 5 August 1991) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the classic 1000 Guineas in 1977. She won four minor races as a two-year-old in 1977 before emerging as a top-class performer in the following year. As a three-year-old, she won the Tote Free Handicap before winning the Guineas as a 16/1 outsider. She went on to win the Fen Ditton Stakes when conceding weight to colts and older horses and then took the Strensall Stakes. She was exported to race in the United States but failed to reproduce her European form. After her retirement from racing, she had some success as a broodmare.

Background
Mrs McArdy was a "shapely, attractive" bay mare with a large white star bred by Christopher Beckett, 4th Baron Grimthorpe, at his Westow Hall stud near York. She was arguably the best horse sired by Tribal Chief, a sprinter who won the New Stakes and the Norfolk Stakes as a two-year-old in 1969. Her dam, Hanina, was a poor racehorse but was a granddaughter of Star of India, the outstanding British two-year-old of 1955.

In 1975, Lord Grimthorpe sold all his bloodstock, with most being bought by trainer Mick Easterby. Easterby sold the horses on but kept Mrs McArdy and trained at her at his farm near Sheriff Hutton in Yorkshire. He later sold the filly privately to Edith Kettlewell, the wife of a hotelier.

Racing career

1976: two-year-old season
Campaigned exclusively in the North of England, Mrs McArdy made little impact in the earliest part of her racing career, finishing unplaced in her first four races before winning a maiden race over five furlongs at Newcastle Racecourse. She then made steady improvement, winning a nursery handicap race over six furlongs at Thirsk and the Prince of Wales's Nursery over a mile at Doncaster, receiving fifteen pounds from the runner-up, Fair Season. On her final appearance of the season, she took her winning run to four with a victory in a minor race over six furlongs at Redcar Racecourse in September, beating Sarasingh by three quarters of a length.

1977: three-year-old season
On her first appearance as a three-year-old, Mrs McArdy finished unplaced in the seven furlong Tote Spring Handicap at Doncaster in March. She began to show good form in training gallops, however, and was strongly fancied when she ran in the Tote Free Handicap at Newmarket Racecourse in April. Carrying 112 pounds and ridden by the lightweight jockey Taffy Thomas, she won by two and a half lengths from the colts Baudelaire and Brighthelmstone. Two weeks later, Mrs McArdy, ridden by Eddie Hide, started at odds of 16/1 for the 165th running of the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket. Cloonlara, the leading two-year-old filly of 1976, started 6/4 favourite, with the other leading contenders appearing to be Freeze The Secret, Sanedtki, Flota Armada, River Dane, Icena, Miss Pinkie, and Danseuse Etoile. Durtal, regarded as the best British filly of her generation, was withdrawn on the eve of the race. Hide tracked Cloonlara before sending Mrs McArdy into the lead two furlongs from the finish. Mrs McArdy established a decisive advantage and was never seriously challenged in the closing stages, winning by two lengths from Freeze The Secret, with Sanedtki narrowly beating Cloonlara for third.

Mrs McArdy was then moved up in distance to contest the Oaks Stakes over one and a half mile at Epsom Downs Racecourse in June. As she was the daughter of a sprinter, there was serious doubt about her ability to stay the distance. She was in contention until early in the straight but then rapidly faded and finished thirteenth of the fourteen runners behind Dunfermline. Unusually for a British classic winner, Mrs McArdy was then asked to concede weight to colts and older horses in a handicap race (the Fen Ditton Stakes) over a mile at Newmarket in July. Carrying 133 pounds, she took the lead approaching the final furlong and won by two and a half lengths. Timeform described her performance as "a striking achievement". Mrs McArdy became agitated before the start of the Sussex Stakes at Goodwwod Racecourse and failed to reproduce her best form, finishing sixth behind Artaius. In August, the filly was assigned top weight in the Strensall Stakes over seven furlongs at York Racecourse. She took the lead two furlongs from the finish and won by a length and a half from the Molecomb Stakes winner Be Easy, despite being eased down by Eddie Hide in the closing stages. On her final appearance of the season, she finished third to Boldboy in the Sanyo Stakes over seven furlongs at Doncaster in September.

Later career
In December 1977, Mrs McArdy was sent to the Tattersalls horses-in-training sale and was bought for 154,000 guineas by Bertram R. Firestone and exported to race in the United States. The price was a record for the sale.

Mrs McArdy ran five times in North America, failing to win and finishing second once before being retired from racing.

Assessment
In 1976, the independent Timeform organisation gave Mrs McArdy a rating of 103, twenty-seven pounds below their top-rated two-year-old filly, Cloonlara. In the Free Handicap, a rating of the best two-year-olds to race in Britain in 1976, the filly was assigned a weight of 105 pounds, 28 pounds below the top colt, J. O. Tobin, and fifteen pounds below the leading filly, Durtal. In the following year, she was given a rating of 123 by Timeform, fourteen pound behind their top-rated horse, Alleged, and ten pounds below their leading three-year-old filly, Dunfermline. In the official International Classification for three-year-olds, she was rated thirteen pounds behind Alleged and five pounds inferior to leading fillies Dunfermline and Madelia.

In their book A Century of Champions, based on the Timeform rating system, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Mrs McArdy an "average" winner of the 1000 Guineas.

Breeding record
Mrs McArdy was based as a broodmare in Europe for several years before being exported to Japan. She died at the Taiki Farm in Japan on 5 August 1991. Her progeny included:

Rising Spirits (chestnut filly, 1985, by Cure the Blues), won once as a two-year-old, dam of Gino's Spirits (Noble Damsel Handicap)
Citidancer (brown colt, 1986, by Lomond), won five races including two at Group Three level, runner-up in the Irish Champion Stakes
Golden Coast (colt, 1988 by Ahonoora), won one race
Lady President (brown mare, 1989, by Dominion), won two races
Admire McArdy (chestnut filly, 1991, by Northern Taste), unraced, dam of Admire Cozzene (Yasuda Kinen)

title: Olivia Anna Livki

text:
Olivia Anna Livki (Olivia Anna Schnitzler; born 2 April 1984), also known as LiVKi, is a German singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, arranger and filmmaker currently living in Berlin.

Life and education
Olivia Anna Schnitzler was born on 2 April 1988 in Opole, Poland and raised in Black Forest, South Germany. Olivia graduated from Gymnasium am Hoptbühl, VS in 2004. She went on to study Film Studies, English Philology and Comparative Literature at Freie Universität Berlin, which she finished with Bachelor of Arts in 2008. On April 7, 2018, she announced on Facebook, that she also earned her Master´s Degree in Film Studies. One year later, she also announced that she finished an education as a film and video editor  in Berlin.
From early childhood, Olivia showed a great interest in art and literature, yet especially music and motion picture.

At age 16, she made a Holocaust-shortfilm based on Janusz Korczak's "Ghetto Diaries", called Unbetitelt (which won her several festival-appearances and awards ).

Musical career
In 2009, Olivia began her career as a professional musician. She released her demo The Smiling Face of Progress  and made two internet-videos: Tennis Rackets (from Girl vs. City) and Hologram (stop motion-animation-video). In order to fund the financing of her debut-album, she took part in a music talent-show on Polish television in 2011. Her appearance caused a hype and frenzy on the internet and throughout the media, with journalists and audiences often referring to her as a musical "epiphany". Her videos Tennis Rackets and Hologram, as well as live-videos were watched altogether more than 300.000 times. A 2014-video-re-upload of her TV-performance of Tel Aviv (originally from 2011) generated more than 130.000 clicks. Demo-versions of songs were shared by fans on myspace and youtube.

In November 2011, the 9 track-concept-album The Name Of This Girl Is was released. It was written, arranged and produced by Livki and mixed by Patrick Dillett and Ron Allaire. On the album and its artwork, Olivia also collaborated with Scottisch drummer Robin Thomson and graphic novelist Iain Sommerville.

Livki designed the artwork (containing drawings by Sommerville) which shows characters from her songs, but also quotes movies, TV shows and themes of modern lifestyle and pop culture. The album was released on her own label L I V V and sold through her internet-shop. It was critically well received. Journalist Karolina Korwin-Piotrowska praises the artist and The Name of This Girl Is  in her book Bomba. Alfabet polskiego szolbiznesu ( The facto 2013 ) . On the day of the album's release, Livki opened for Lenny Kravitz in Torwar, Warsaw.

Livki earned herself the reputation of a celebrated, powerful live-act  and performed at numerous festivals in Berlin, Tokyo (), Prague () as well as OFF Festival 2011/2015, Reeperbahn Festival 2014 and Coke Live Music Festival 2011.

In July 2012, Olivia signed a license-contract with EMI Music in Poland. In September 2012, The Name Of This Girl Is was re-released as Extended Edition with 3 bonus tracks, and appeared in physical stores, accompanied by a promotional campaign. Its singles Abby Abby (Choir Girl Remix) and Blood Ponies became Youtube-hits, with Abby Abby´s music video earning almost half a million clicks. Livki ´s song Tennis Rackets was also featured on the original soundtrack album and score of feature film Big Love (2012 ).

In 2014, Livki collaborated with Producer Sterling Fox on her single Dark Blonde Rises, which was released under her second artist-pseudonym LiVKi on Fox´s US-indie label Silver Scream Records

In 2015, Livki released her second album Strangelivv   followed by an EP called I Am Carthago Pt.1. Its single Noke was featured  on Berlin Music Commissions´s Listen to Berlin-Compilation 2016/17.

In late 2019, Listen to Berlin 2019/20 gave a preview of her new music, by including her single Spectacular on the compilation. The single and music video will be officially released on February 20 and 24. In February 2020, Livki announced the release of her new single and album this years. Her third album Digital Dissidents will be released in March 2020.

title: Between Me and the Wardrobe

text:
Between Me and the Wardrobe is the third album by British singer-songwriter Gwyneth Herbert and her first album to consist entirely of her own songs. It was released in 2006 on Herbert's own Monkeywood Records label and reissued in 2007 by Blue Note Records.   A review in The Observer gave the album a five-star rating.

Production and release
After she left Universal Classics and Jazz to pursue a less commercial and more personal musical direction, Herbert collaborated with Polar Bear's Seb Rochford in a production role for this album. Self-financed by Herbert, it was recorded in three days and was never intended for general release. It was initially released, in 2006, on Herbert's own Monkeywood label before being picked up by Blue Note Records, making Herbert their first UK signing in 30 years.

Reception
In a five-starred review for The Observer, Stuart Nicholson said that on Between Me and the Wardrobe Herbert "lets the lyrics do the work for her. They are well thought out, moving between artfully constructed soft-focus simplicities to poignant yearning".

Colin Buttimer, writing for BBC Music, said: "stories are very much to the fore, in fact many of these songs are compacted narrative jewels... The music is oak-like, rich and weathered... Seb Rochford, best known as the strikingly hirsute drummer for Polar Bear, Fulborn Taversham and Acoustic Ladyland, is responsible for a production that’s stripped-down, but full of unexpected and highly rewarding details".

John Fordham, in a review for The Guardian, said: "Herbert's originals (all the pieces are hers) connect more with Janis Ian or Rufus Wainwright than the standards the subtly intelligent Herbert at first seemed destined for. Jazzers might be foxed by Blue Note's endorsement of this low-key, folk-inflected and very personal vision, but... the lyrics gleam with individuality... and though the tunes could have used a few more twists and turns, it confirms that Herbert is light years from the whisper-in-your-ear Krall clone some dismissed her as".

title: Americans in Germany

text:
Americans in Germany or  American Germans (German: Amerikanische Deutsche
or Amerika-Deutsche) refers to the American population in Germany and their German-born descendants. According to Destatis, 300,000 - 400,000 Americans live in Germany. 200,000 of them in Rhineland-Palatinate.

At the same time, more than 40,000 members of the US military and 15,000 civilian employees of American citizenship are permanently in Germany, with a strong presence in Kaiserslautern, which in the 1950s became the largest US military community outside of the United States. In addition, there are significant numbers of American expatriates in Germany, especially professionals sent abroad by their companies and an increasing number of college students and graduates (also due to the affordable higher education system and the favorable quality of life). By December 2013, the largest American diasporas in Germany are Rhineland-Palatinate with over 50,000. Berlin with over 16,000 people, and the area around Darmstadt with about 13,000 people.

Military backgrounds

A large portion of the American-German population has a military background. Great numbers of American soldiers were stationed in Germany after World War II. The Occupation statute of 1949 set regulations for the post-war time within Allied-occupied Germany. Numerous American military installations were established during this time, and eventually hundreds were in place, mainly in Southern Germany. At the time of German Reunification in 1990, there were still about 200,000 US soldiers in Germany. By 2014, the number had been steadily reduced to 42,450 stationed in 38 facilities.

During World War II General Dwight D. Eisenhower and the American War Department enforced a strict non-fraternization policy regarding contact between American military personnel and German citizens. After the war this prohibition was mitigated in several steps and finally abandoned in Austria and Germany in September 1945. In the earliest stages of the Allied occupation US soldiers were not allowed to pay maintenance for a child they admitted having fathered, since to do so was considered as "aiding the enemy". Marriages between white American soldiers and German women were not permitted until December 1946.

title: Diesel Only Records

text:
Diesel Only Records is a Brooklyn-based country music record label established in 1990 by musician-journalist Jeremy Tepper, then also the lead singer of the World Famous Blue Jays.

History
Tepper, along with Diesel Only's cofounders, Jay Sherman-Godfrey and Albert Caiati, originally started the label with the goal of releasing vinyl 45s for use in jukeboxes at truck stops. Tepper also started the label with the goal of releasing his own band's albums, as well as those by other young bands from New York City. The first non-vinyl record the label released was 1992's Rig Rock Jukebox, which was also their first singles compilation album. Also that year, the label released a single by Mark Brine entitled "New Blue Yodel," which, after Brine sent it to Hank Snow, landed him a gig at the Grand Ole Opry that July. By the end of 1993, Diesel Only had released more than 30 records by artists from all across the United States. The label did not become well-known until 1996, when its third singles compilation album, "Rig Rock Deluxe", was released, as part of a deal with Upstart Records. The album included songs by Buck Owens, Steve Earle, and Marty Stuart, and won Americana Album of the Year from the National Association of Independent Record Distributors. Tepper has recalled that after Owens agreed to contribute "Will There Be Big Rigs in Heaven?" to the album, they merely had to mention that he had signed on to the project, after which "we [Diesel Only] got anybody we wanted." "Rig Rock Deluxe" received a favorable review from Billboard, which described it as the label's best compilation yet.

In 1996, Peter Blackstock wrote in No Depression that through his work with Diesel Only, "Jeremy Tepper has established himself as a unique and indispensable cog in the alt-country underground." In 1997, Tepper married fellow musician Laura Cantrell. The label first diverged from its pattern of releasing compilations of trucker music in 2000, when it released Cantrell's debut album, Not the Tremblin' Kind. Cantrell and Tepper later became the co-owners and co-operators of Diesel Only. Cantrell has released all but one of her albums on Diesel Only (as of 2011).

title: Air Command Commander 147A

text:
The Air Command Commander 147A was an American autogyro that was designed and produced by Air Command International when it was located in Wylie, Texas. Now out of production, the aircraft was intended to be supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

The only example known to have been registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was the factory prototype, which was destroyed in a fatal test flight crash in Caddo Mills, Texas in July 1998.

Design and development
The Commander 147A was designed to comply with the US homebuilt aircraft rules. It featured a Skywheels single main rotor, a  two-seats-in side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants, plus a small tail caster and a Mazda 13B Wankel engine  engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft fuselage was made from bolted-together aluminum tubing with a fiberglass fairing. Its two-bladed rotor had a diameter of . The aircraft had a standard empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of .

Factory options included a long-range fuel tank, electric trim and a main rotor pre-rotator.

Operational history
The factory prototype, serial number 001, registration number N147GY, suffered a loss of rotor RPM while maneuvering over a runway at Caddo Mills Municipal Airport during a factory test flight on 15 July 1998. The rotor blades struck the tail boom, and the aircraft descended and impacted the ground in a nose-low attitude. A post-crash fire consumed the main wreckage, and the pilot, who was the sole occupant, was killed. The accident was attributed to "the pilot's failure to maintain rotor rpm while maneuvering, which resulted in the main rotor blades contacting the tail section of the gyroplane."

By May 2018, no examples were registered in the United States, with only N147GY listed as having been registered at one time; it is listed as "destroyed".

title: Billy Mitchell (pianist)

text:
William Allen Mitchell (born November 23, 1943) is an American jazz pianist, music producer, composer, and author. He is also known for his community work with at-risk youth.

Career
Mitchell was born November 23, 1943, in Tarrytown, New York, and raised in Buffalo. His father was a Baptist minister and community activist. Mitchell was introduced to the piano as a child by his mother but resisted all formal instruction. Instead he learned to play the piano by listening to the music and jazz recordings of the day.

Mitchell attended Morehouse College in the early 1960s, where he majored in history and political science. Between classes he would sneak into the music department to play jazz. He joined an off-campus jazz group, performing before an audience for the first time in a local talent show. In search of a career in music, he moved to Los Angeles in 1970.

He formed the Billy Mitchell Trio in the 1970s, which later became the Billy Mitchell Group. During the 1980s and 1990s he performed at clubs and festivals, including the Sedona Jazz Festival.

During the 1980s, Mitchell wrote a monthly column for Gig magazine that advised musicians about work and career. His book The Gigging Musician (Hal Leonard Publishing) is based on his Gig magazine articles, as well as interviews with industry professionals.

Mitchell appeared in the Bird (1988) directed by Clint Eastwood film, playing the part of Charlie Parker's pianist. He also appeared in Jazz, a docudrama about the lives and experiences of black musicians.

In 2002, Mitchell founded The Scholarship Audition Performance Preparatory Academy (SAPPA) to increase participation of inner-city students in music and art scholarship competitions. SAPPA also sponsors music workshops that provide free music instruction in various programs throughout the Los Angeles area. Mitchell established the Watts-Willowbook Conservatory and Youth Symphony.

title: Coriell Institute for Medical Research

text:
The Coriell Institute for Medical Research is an independent, non-profit biomedical research center dedicated to the study of the human genome. Coriell features programs in biobanking, personalized medicine, cell biology, cytogenetics, genotyping, and induced pluripotent stem cell science.  Located in downtown Camden, New Jersey, the Institute has partnered with several prominent state and national health leaders, including Cooper University Hospital, the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, the United States Air Force, the University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford University.

History

Coriell Institute was chartered in 1953 as the South Jersey Medical Research Foundation Laboratory and constructed facilities in 1956. The laboratory was later named for director Lewis L. Coriell, who had worked at the Camden Municipal Hospital and developed aseptic tissue culture techniques that ultimately allowed poliovirus to be grown in culture. Dr. Coriell also led the field trials for the resulting vaccine.

Operations

Biobanking

Regarded as one of the most diverse sources of cell lines and DNA available to the international research community, the Coriell Biorepositories maintain longstanding contracts with the National Institutes of Health and houses several significant collections, including the National Institute of General Medical Sciences Human Genetic Cell Repository, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Human Genetics DNA and Cell Line Repository, and the National Institute on Aging Cell Repository. The Institute houses cells for biotechnology companies and research foundations as well.

Research

In 2018, Coriell partnered with Cooper University Health Care and the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University to form the Camden Opioid Research Initiative (CORI), a state-funded research project studying risk factors for opioid use disorder. CORI utilizes a three-pronged approach: a study of chronic pain patients, a study of patients currently being treated for opioid use disorder, and the creation of a novel biobank of biological specimens as a resource for addiction researchers.

With these same partners, Coriell launched the Camden Cancer Research Center in 2023. Each of these three organizations has pledged an initial $1 million per year for 10 years, or a total of $30 million over 10 years, to investigate cancer and develop new therapies.

Coriell also contributes to the precision medicine space with its innovative research study, the Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative (CPMC). Launched in 2007, the CPMC was a longitudinal initiative involving a network of physicians, scientists, genetic counselors, and hospital and academic partners. The study aims to explore the clinical utility of genetic information and returned individualized reports to nearly 8,000 volunteer participants detailing genetic and non-genetic risks for complex diseases.

A spin-off company called Coriell Life Sciences was formed in January 2013 from a partnership between the Coriell Institute for Medical Research and IBM. The company offers full-service pharmacogenetics screening options to a range of different organizations.

Services

Coriell offers a diverse selection of services to customers and partners interested in outsourcing scientific work. Some of Coriell’s offered services include the creation of induced pluripotent stem cell lines, cell line authentication, cytogenetic analysis, DNA and RNA isolation, and public and private biobanking services.

Coriell’s quality management system has been certified to the latest ISO 9001:2015 standards.

text:
This is a list of communications and reconnaissance equipment in use with the British Army (and in some cases, shared with other branches of the British Armed Forces). For more equipment in use with the British Army, see Modern equipment of the British Army.

Bowman

Bowman is the tactical C4I system in service with British forces, replacing the Clansman system introduced in the 1970s. Designed to provide an integrated digital communications network interfacing with higher level systems and networks such as ISDN, Skynet V, Cormorant and FALCON. Commanders at all levels are given secure voice and data communications as well as an integrated Global Positioning System.

GEOINT
A deployable geospatial intelligence unit, this allows for situational awareness on a wide scale. With GEOINT exploitation and map production capabilities from strategic to tactical levels, it can update frontline troops with digital map updates for cohesive intelligence across the entire battlefront. Mounted on MOWAG Duro II trucks, the British Army has taken delivery of 11 GEOINT Stations with 3 vehicle-mounted tactical distribution systems.

HALO ASP Mk2
HALO is a sound ranging artillery detection designed to acoustically detect and track the direction and distance of enemy artillery launches out to 10 km and pass the information directly to a command post for counter-artillery fire to be immediately coordinated. The UK possesses only one unit, for specialist use in areas where UAVs might be unable to perform this role normally. It is held with 5th Regiment Royal Artillery.

MSTAR
MSTAR is a lightweight all-weather battlefield radar designed to detect helicopters, vehicles and infantry to a range in excess of 20 km. MSTAR is used by artillery Observation Parties (OPs) to detect where artillery shells are landing in relation to the target. It weighs 30 kg and is either stand alone or mounted in a vehicle. There are currently 200 in service.

COBRA
Cobra (Counter-battery Radar) is a 3D phased-array radar used for extremely long range artillery detection and location. Capable of tracking multiple barrage locations at one time, it has been designed to cope with saturation bombardment situations and provide locations of enemy artillery launches at extreme ranges for the GMLRS units of the Royal Artillery. There are currently 9 in service in 3 troops with 5th Regiment Royal Artillery.

BMETS
BMETS is a battlefield meteorological system that came into service to replace AMETS in 1999. It helps track enemy artillery locations by providing information on wind, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity and air density at various atmospheric levels from 90 m below to 4 km above sea level by releasing hydrogen filled balloons to detect and transmit information for counter-battery formula by allied units. Currently, there are six units consisting of two vehicles each in service, although only five are deployed in peacetime.

Surveillance System and Range Finder

This system  allows a soldier to quickly establish the location and distance of enemy forces and gives the soldier advice as to the most appropriate mortar or artillery firepower to use in response. The system is all-weather, day and night system has built-in GPS. 707 have been purchased for use, with deliveries complete in 2011, ahead of schedule.

ADAD
ADAD (Air Defence Alert System) is an infra-red thermal imaging surveillance system to detect close air targets such as jets or helicopters and direct air defence weapons on target. Built by Thorn EMI, it can track four targets at once and prioritise them in specific orders of threat for engagement, day and night.

Odette
The Odette system provides an electronic support measures (ESM) dimension within the overall electronic warfare capability; operating from both armoured and Land Rover borne variants, Odette electronically finds radio targets.

Scarus
SCARUS is an Electronic Support Measure (ESM) system that can be both man portable (WROTE) and vehicle borne (SEER) for electronic warfare.

The Large variant can be transported by C-17 Globemaster III and the Medium and RM variants by Hercules.

Joint Operational Command System
The JOCS provides digitised tools for controlling joint operations. With the formation of the Joint Rapid Reaction Force the requirement for a joint computer system was formed. This system provides a sophisticated operational picture, along with staff tools for controlling joint operations.

Army Tactical Computer System
The Army Tactical Computer System (ATacCS) provides the Army with a LAN and WAN based command and control system across the battlespace.

Falcon Secure Trunk Communication System
The Falcon Secure Trunk Communication System provides secure meshed communications infrastructure based on the Internet protocol suite for deployed formations and operating bases. It helps to deliver an information infrastructure that will provide the UK Armed Forces with the network enabled capability required in the 21st century. It is designed to operate with other communication and information systems such as Bowman, Cormorant and Skynet 5, and will be compatible with other NATO systems. The system provides the telephones and data distribution when deployed. Procurement started about 2005, with an intention to enter service in 2009. Testing and field trials were completed in 2012, with delivery through to mid-2013.

Defence Information Infrastructure
Defence Information Infrastructure (DII(F)) is one of the largest information infrastructure programmes in Europe. It will provide a computing infrastructure and services that will enable sharing of information and collaborative working to a variety of groups and individuals including those that currently have limited or no connectivity. Ultimately it will provide around 300,000 user accounts on approximately 150,000 terminals across about 2,000 MoD sites worldwide. DII will be central to transforming the capability of the Armed Forces by providing Network Enabled Capability through a single network of information. It will extend into the operational arena, interface with battlespace systems and improve shared information between headquarters, battlefield support and the front line, allowing greater interoperability between the MoD and its allies.

DII is being delivered in Increments. Increment 1 will provide DII(F) to around 70,000 desktops and 200,000 user accounts. Increment 2 looks at Deployed services and services to the Above Secret environment. The service ranges geographically from the office environment in headquarters to forward deployed units anywhere in the world.

MegaVoice
STG Media Systems has delivered 87 of the loudspeaker systems to Afghanistan for use at checkpoints and at public gatherings The ability to hear intelligible speech at 1 km allows the user to distance themselves  from danger and warn the public about imminent actions being taken by, for example, IED clearance teams.

Cormorant
The Cormorant system is a deployable communications network for the Joint Task Force Headquarters. It provides communications support for direct users at Joint Force and other deployed Command Headquarters. The system offers worldwide deployability and is an integral part of the broader Global Information Infrastructure concept.

Computer networks
 OVERTASK - On Operation HERRICK (Afghanistan), the OVERTASK network is used for strategic through to the tactical levels of command. This supports applications that deliver situational awareness, office tools and collaborative working.
 ARRC C2IS - As well as the core networks the HQ ARRC now has its own ARRC Command and Control Information System (ARRC C2IS) to provide a Battle Management System and office automation.
 J1/J4 IOS - In addition to OVERTASK, the J1/J4 Interim Operational Support (J1/J4 IOS) system is still in operation in Afghanistan but now serves significantly more users than it was originally designed for. J1/J4 IOS supports Restricted information transfer and applications such as Joint Personal Administration.

Satellite communications

Skynet (Satellite network)

Skynet is a family of military satellites, which provide strategic communication services to the three branches of the British Armed Forces and to NATO forces engaged in coalition tasks.

title: Canada at the 2014 Commonwealth Games

text:
Canada competed in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland from July 23 to August 3, 2014. It was the nation's 20th appearance at the Commonwealth Games, having competed at every Games since their inception in 1930. Canada competed in 16 out of 17 sports with the only exception being netball (as the team did not qualify). Canada's team consisted of 265 athletes and 100 support staff, the largest team for a games not hosted by the country. On September 12, 2012 former Commonwealth Games medalist Chantal Petitclerc was named as the Chef de mission of the team, marking the first time a former para athlete was named to the post.

Former multiple medal winning Commonwealth Games and sport shooter Susan Nattrass was named as the team's opening ceremony flagbearer in June.

Canada finished the games winning a total of 32 gold medals and 82 medals in total. The result pushed Canada back into the top three, after finishing fourth four years ago in New Delhi.
