title: Richard Clinton (cricketer)

text:
Richard Selvey Clinton (born 1 September 1981) is an English cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and occasional right-arm medium-pace bowler.

Born in Sidcup, Kent, he made his first-class debut for Essex against Surrey in 2001. He batted at number six in the first innings, making 36, but opened the batting in the second and hit 58 not out. His List A debut a few days later was also personally successful, albeit in a losing cause, as he scored 56 from 57 balls against Durham; as of June 2006, this remains his highest List A score.

Clinton made his maiden first-class hundred (107) against Cambridge UCCE in 2002, but left the county at the end of the season. He moved to Surrey in 2004 to replace Jonathan Batty as opening batsman. For the following season he competed actively for the opening batsman's position with James Benning and was given a new two-year contract at the end of 2004.

Clinton enjoyed a long run in the team in 2005, hitting 811 first-class runs at 31.39 and hitting two centuries and five fifties. However, he made only three appearances in the one-day game, aggregating only 21 runs from these.

He has also made several first-class appearances for Loughborough UCCE, having graduated from Loughborough University in 2006.

His father Grahame had a significant first-class career with Kent and Surrey, while his cousin Paul has played a handful of first-class games for Oxford UCCE.

title: Costanza Chiaramonte

text:
Costanza Chiaramonte ( – 1423) was a queen consort of Naples in 1389–1392, married to King Ladislaus of Naples. With changing political circumstances, their marriage was annulled.

Life
Costanza was a daughter of Manfredi III Chiaramonte, count of Modica and Malta, and a powerful figure in Palermo.

Queen
Her marriage to King Ladislaus, took place celebrated in Gaeta in 1389 when she was 12, was calculated to bring her family's financial and military support, and not adversity, to his rule.

The fortunes of the Chiaramonte family changed after her father died in 1391, and her brother was caught and executed by the forces of King Martin of Aragon, who had declared himself king of Sicily. With this turn of fortunes, Ladislaus obtained an annulment by decree of the pope Boniface IX. In July 1392, the bishop of Gaeta and Cardinal Acciaioli announced the dissolution of the marriage in church. The supposed reason for the annulment was either the age of the couple or the accusation that Costanza's mother was living dissolutely in concubinage.

Later life
The following year Constance was forced to marry the count of Altavilla, Andrea di Capua, son of Bartolomeo, and protonotary of the kingdom, who was residing in the Palazzo Marigliano, Naples. At the public wedding ceremony, Costanza was said to have proclaimed to her groom that he should take pride in having the king's wife and queen as his concubine.

Legacy
Constanza's fate attracted later storytellers and songwriters. Even in the 20th century, it was pointed as an example of ecclesiastical hypocrisy over the sanctity of marriage.

title: Enrique Omar Suárez

text:
Enrique Omar Suárez is an Argentine union leader, businessman, and politician. He is the previous Secretary General of SOMU (Sindicato de Obreros Marítimos Unidos), the Argentinian union for longshoremen and other maritime workers. He is also the president of Mercante SA and director of Maruba SCA, the largest shipping company in Argentina.

A longtime friend and ally of the nation's ruling Kirchner family, Suárez has been described as an “ultra-Menemista” who became a “hyper-Kirchnerista.” He has also been called a “Cristina-ista.” One source identifies him as “President Cristina Kirchner’s closest and most powerful ally.” He is accused by some sources as having been implicated in killings, shootings, narcotics trafficking, and various underworld activities. Nowadays he is in jail in Marcos Paz facility.

He is widely known by the nickname “Caballo” (horse).

Early life and family
Suárez was born and raised in Monte Caseros, a town in the province of Corrientes, where he grew up in “a humble family.” His father was a carpenter, and his mother a hairdresser. He had two brothers and a sister. His brother Antonio, who was in turn president of the Social Work SOMU and head of the AFJP (Administradoras de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones) San José, died under “strange” circumstances but was ruled a suicide.

Career
According to an official biographical account, Suárez began to work in SOMU in 1973 and after that worked in “various firms in the sector,” until 1987, when he was elected delegate and secretary of the Closed Section of SOMU. In 1989, he was elected Deputy Secretary General of SOMU, and in 1992 he was elected SOMU's Secretary General, a position he holds to this day. Several accounts state that Suárez was the chauffeur for his predecessor as Secretary General of SOMU, Juan Arce, and that he became Secretary General as a result of a 1989 building takeover by “armed thugs” who were members of the union. “His arrival in the union was, as is the mark of his entire career, through the gang,” comments one source, which adds that some of the “thugs” that put Suárez in his job continued to work under him, “negotiating with companies and squeezing opponents.”

Suárez was a candidate for Provincial Deputy for the New Party. Businessman Adolfo Navajas Artaza, who was governor of Corrientes in 1969-73 and was denounced for involvement in the disappearance of rural peasants who worked for his company, has been called Suárez's “political godfather.”

During the Menem years (1989–99), Suárez was “harshly questioned” when he and others signed an agreement on behalf of the Argentine Marines that accepted “poor working conditions” on ships flying under a Uruguayan flag of convenience.

In 2006, Suárez was elected president of the Mutual Association of SOMU. He is also a member of the Commission of Port, Maritime, and River Interests, and is heavily involved in the General Confederation of Labor of the Republic of Argentina (CGT). During his tenure at SOMU, he has also held various positions in the Argentina Confederation of Transport Workers (CATT), the Argentine Maritime Federation (FAMAR), the Caja de Asignaciones Familiares Portuarias y Maritímas (CAFPYMAR) and the Maritime Staff Social Work (OSPM). He is also the founder of la Escuela de Capacitación y Formación Marítima Omar Alberto Rupp, created in 1999 to upgrade the training of maritime workers.

Suárez became director of Maruba in October 2010, after Mercante SA announced that it would acquire a 30% stake in the firm, pending government approval.

Suárez has been criticized for signing agreements that resulted in lower wages and poorer working conditions and for spending $1.5 million on a recreational camp for union leaders, El Progreso, to which maritime workers are forbidden access.

A 2011 investigative report accused Suárez of having “invented” much of his past, and maintained that it was “a challenge” to determine his actual work history.

Smith International, 2010
After Suárez became director of Maruba in October 2010, he used his position at SOMU to launch “a strong attack” on other companies in the sector, pressuring union shippers in the port of Buenos Aires to hire Maruba's tugboats instead of those belonging to the Dutch firm Smith International. Smith complained to Ricardo Lujan of the Secretariat for Ports and Waterways, but he refused to act against Suárez. Smith backed off from operations in Buenos Aires and sought instead to increase its presence in the port of Bahía Blanca, but Suárez then put on the pressure there, engineering strikes that made it impossible for Smith to meet its contracts; ultimately, Smith withdrew entirely from the Argentinian market. Its disappearance from Bahía Blanca improved the fortunes of local competitors but the port lost half of its tugboats, which increased the likelihood of delays.

Blockade, 2010
In late 2010, SOMU blockaded Paraguayan trade in the port of Buenos Aires, and consequently about 7000 containers in transit to Paraguay had to wait nearly a month to be shipped to their destinations. Suárez said that SOMU had “the full support of the Cristina Kirchner administration” in implementing the blockade. He said that it was “a Kirchner government strategy to have Argentine pre-eminence in the Paraná-Paraguay river system” and that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner had in fact “explicitly called for a boycott for five days in a gesture of solidarity” with Paraguayan maritime workers.

Suárez later denied having stated that the president supported the boycott. “I never said that. Clarín misrepresented my words," he maintained, and claimed that, on the contrary, he had told Clarín “that the president asked us to lift the blockade.” He said that the blockade had been undertaken in solidarity with Paraguayan maritime workers, because Paraguayan vessels “do not respect minimum and decent working conditions set out in international standards.” The Paraguayan counterpart to SOMU, however, announced that it was opposed to the blockade.

Blockade threat, 2011
In the summer of 2011, Suárez threatened to blockade Paraguayan shipping to overcome “wage asymmetry” in Mercosur and “asymmetry in navigation” on the Paraná. The real goal of Suárez and the Argentinian government, it was claimed, was to compel shippers to switch several billion dollars’ worth of freight from Paraguayan firms to Maruba.

Bianchi criticisms, 2011
In September 2011, Ivana Maria Bianchi, a member of the Argentinian Chamber of Deputies, filed a document with the Chamber of Deputies requesting an investigation of Suárez, listing several charges against him. According to Bianchi, Suárez had “launched a powerful attack against shipping, oil and grain” to promote SOMU and Maruba; had unsettled “the waters and the rules of the local maritime sector” with the support of the government of Christina Fernández de Kirchner; had frequently boasted that “everything that moves over the water is mine”; had “carried out a prolonged assault on the fishing industry in Mar del Plata” in 2008 in an effort to force it to yield to union demands; had pressured Maruba's competitors to cede business to it; had benefited from government favoritism in matters ranging from permits to contracts; and had “loot[ed] the coffers of the National Bank” to increase Argentinian shipbuilding and heighten the Argentinian maritime presence around the globe. Bianchi noted that Maruba, formerly “a company in deep economic problems,” had quickly turned successful as a result of government support, despite owning “virtually no Argentinian vessels” and having debts in ports around the world. Bianchi called Suárez “the most visible and militant face of the merchant marine.”

Strike, 2012
SOMU called a strike on March 6, 2012, demanding higher staffing levels. “We don’t have anything to negotiate,” said Suárez. “They either assign the number of crew members that are necessary or the coast guard can do the work.” When the strike paralyzed maritime operations in Argentina, Suárez said: “Not one ship more will enter or leave.” As a result of the strike, soy futures soared on the Chicago Board of Trade.

U.K. boycott, 2012
In February 2012, Suárez announced that SOMU would “cease to provide services to U.K. vessels as well as those of other nations hired by U.K.-based shipping companies,” owing to escalating tensions between Argentina and the U.K. over the Falkland Islands. “As workers we are totally offended by...the militarization of the South Atlantic,” Suárez said.

Other activities
Suárez has been described as being responsible for “a lush handbook of deaths, drugs, and corruption.” When Eduardo Galantini was mayor of Monte Caseros, he was reportedly “threatened with death” because the municipality held land that was “coveted by Suárez.”

Suárez reportedly played a key role in Kirchnerist businessman Cristóbal López’s development of a nationwide gambling empire.

Politician, businessman, and union leader Luis Barrionuevo reportedly financed Suárez’s “Proyecto Corrientes,” a Peronist political organization in Suárez's home province.

Papal visit, 2013
Suárez was one of ten or so members of the delegation that accompanied Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to Rome to meet with Pope Francis in 2013.

Relationship with the Kirchners
Suárez and leaders of three other unions agreed in 2006 “to unify their efforts to support and deepen the national recovery policy promoted by the government of President Néstor Kirchner.” Suárez himself stated that the four unions were “in full accordance with the national direction of economic and social policy of President Néstor Kirchner and in full service to the reconstruction of the Argentine maritime sector.” Suárez said that “the unity of the major world trade unions” was “terrible news for the nostalgia of neoliberalism” and represented a success for the economic and social strategy of President Kirchner.

Mayor Javier Iud of San Antonio said in 2007 that it was important to work closely with Suárez on local issues because Suárez is “a ‘soldier’ of Cristina” and an “unconditional ally of CGT as he was under Néstor Kirchner.”

One source wrote in 2008 that Suárez was “now identified with Kirchner to the point that in the early months of the presidential campaign, he decorated the port area…with slogans reading ‘With him or with her, Kirchner president, SOMU driving. Omar Suárez.’”

Suárez took part in a labor-union tribute to Néstor Kirchner on the first anniversary of his death.

Suárez said in May 2011 that Argentina’s “historic” maritime presence around the world was a sign of "the remarkable recovery of Argentina at the hands of our President, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner,” and was proof that “the Argentine people need four more years of Cristina.”

Suárez stated in April 2012 that in the elections for head of the CGT, scheduled for 2013, he would vote for the Kirchner candidate, not for current CGT leader Hugo Moyano, from whom, it was reported, he had recently been maintaining a “certain distance.”

Suárez stated in March 2014 that his goal as head of SOMU is “to recover a Néstor Kirchner Argentina that is a matrix of energy and development.”

Suárez has been described as using his contacts with the Casa Rosada to obtain credit at the National Bank to purchase ships from China.

Nowadays he is in jail in Marcos Paz facility.

title: Palisades Park (Counting Crows song)

text:
"Palisades Park" is a 2014 song released by Counting Crows on Capitol Records as the lead single from the album Somewhere Under Wonderland.

Adam Duritz has said that the song is "about the best thing I've written in my life. It's an epic story of two kids from New York in the late '70s and their lives in Basin Park. It's about taking a look at your life and trying to figure out how you got here when you were there. It's also about Reno in 1910 and the story of Jack Johnson knocking out Jim Jeffries, who ends up lying on the ground looking at the sky thinking he’s not sure how this happened, how am I here? I was there. It starts as a story about that, then changes to be about these kids and their lives and how they changed. It's the best thing I've ever written, very heartfelt." Duritz expanded on a 2014 episode of Acoustic Café: "I started writing this song and initially it was about a guy and a girl growing up in the '60s and '70s. I started to write about their lives, but then when we got to... the verse after the first chorus. 'You walk into the bar like some Saturday star stud straight on spiked heels and needles and nerves.' I really started to get this idea about them cross-dressing. Well at least the guy dressing up in woman's clothes. So the song's very informed about that, about people living on the fringes and trying things just cause it's interesting to try things in life. I mean cause they're interested in what's over the next hill. What does it feel like to dress up in woman's clothes when you’re a guy? You know, it's nothing to do with being gay or not being gay. It's just what does it feel like to be different?"

Music video
The song was promoted by a short film directed by Bill Fishman, filmed in New York City in 2014.

title: The Ecology

text:
The Ecology is the second studio album by American hip hop recording artist Fashawn. The album was released on February 24, 2015 by Nas' Mass Appeal Records. Nas serves as executive producer for the album, and guest features include Nas himself, Aloe Blacc, BJ the Chicago Kid, and Dom Kennedy. The album's production, similar to Fashawn's debut album Boy Meets World, is handled primarily by Exile, with additional contributions by DJ Khalil, The Alchemist, and more.

The title and concept of the album entails exploring the "ecology" of one's environment: the people, objects, and events surrounding one's life, the things that provoke human behavior, how individual choices lead to different paths, and how everyone and everything is ultimately interconnected.

In its first week of release, The Ecology ranked among the top 10 most downloaded albums on the iTunes Hip-Hop Chart. The album was met with widespread acclaim from critics, who praised its heartfelt lyricism and soulful production. Since then, songs from the album have been featured in various forms of popular media.

Background
Following the release of his critically acclaimed debut solo album Boy Meets World in 2009, Fashawn spent the subsequent years involved in numerous musical endeavors. Through collaboration albums, mixtapes, and guest appearances, he worked with many high-profile artists and producers such as J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Murs, Evidence, DJ Dahi, and 9th Wonder. He also continued to tour around the United States and overseas, including joining Kendrick Lamar on stage for a duo freestyle at Hip Hop Kemp, as well as performing the entrance theme to WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley's rematch against Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. As Fashawn garnered more mainstream attention, anticipation for his sophomore album grew.

After nearly five years since the release of his debut album, it was announced in 2014 that Fashawn's second full-length solo album The Ecology was in the recording process, with Exile once again handling most of the production. In an April 2014 interview, Fashawn stated, "The Ecology has been a concept that started at least five years ago for me. I took the time to really work on this project because I knew that it would be important not just for my career, but for hip-hop. There could be no better time for all these blessings to be coming my way, and I'm just so happy to say that The Ecology will be coming out."

Release and promotion

On June 9, 2014, a variety of media outlets reported that Fashawn had officially signed to Nas' Mass Appeal Records, and that The Ecology was scheduled to be released under the new label. "Fashawn is one of the most underrated in the game," Nas said in a statement. "The world is gonna know soon. We're excited to have him as a part of the family." On August 21, 2014, Fashawn held a private listening party for The Ecology at a sold-out venue in his hometown Fresno, California, where attendees heard the entire album for the first time. He continued to keep busy with shows, including a performance set at Nas' 20-Year Illmatic Anniversary Concert at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in October 2014.

As a prelude to his new album, Fashawn also released an EP with The Alchemist titled FASH-ionably Late on December 18, 2014. In January 2015, Fashawn announced that The Ecology would be officially released on February 24, 2015, and that he would also embark on a nationwide tour soon after its release. An official track list soon followed, which confirmed guest features by Nas, Aloe Blacc, BJ the Chicago Kid, and Dom Kennedy. On February 20, 2014, Fashawn surprised eager fans by releasing The Ecology on iTunes ahead of schedule, with the album debuting on its Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums Chart. Physical CD and vinyl copies of The Ecology maintained the original release date of February 24, 2015.

To kickoff The Ecology tour in the United States, a special album release concert took place at Echoplex in Los Angeles on February 26, 2015, in which Fashawn headlined a sold-out venue with additional performances by Aloe Blacc, Blu, Exile, and more. The event was also highlighted by surprise guest appearances by Nas, Dilated Peoples, Dom Kennedy, and Everlast (who performed the 90s classic "Jump Around") to an energetic crowd. Following his American tour, Fashawn later embarked on The Ecology European Tour along with Exile in September 2015.

Singles
The album's first single "Golden State of Mind" was released to iTunes on October 21, 2014. The track contains a west coast anthem vibe and features fellow California native Dom Kennedy. A second single "Guess Who's Back" was released via digital distribution on January 27, 2015. On February 17, 2015, a third single "Out the Trunk" (featuring Busta Rhymes on the chorus) was released for online listening. On May 18, 2015, MTV debuted the official remix for "Out the Trunk", featuring a brand new verse from Busta Rhymes.

"Something to Believe In", one of the most anticipated tracks from The Ecology, was premiered by Billboard on February 19, 2015. The song features Nas, who serves as executive producer for the album, and Aloe Blacc, a long-time collaborator of Fashawn.

Music videos

The first music video "Guess Who's Back" debuted on February 10, 2015.  The video shows Fashawn reflecting on overcoming challenges in his hometown of Fresno, and contains a notable scene shot inside the city's Chukchansi Park with nobody present in the entire stadium except Fashawn. A second music video was released on April 24, 2015 for "Higher", in which Fashawn pays tribute to his daughter. Both his daughter and the song's producer Exile appear in the video. An animated video for "Confess" was released on October 1, 2015. The video contains over a dozen animated cameo appearances by Earl Sweatshirt, Killer Mike, Bishop Nehru, Large Professor, and more.

Documentary
In conjunction with the album, Mass Appeal Records released "The Ecology", a 16-minute film documentary that explores the emotional and economic hardships that Fashawn had to overcome at a young age, as well as the musical journey that ultimately led to Nas signing him to Mass Appeal Records. The film is directed by Punit Dhesi, and features heartfelt reflections given by Fashawn, his mother and uncle, manager Aren Hekimian, producer Exile, mentor Evidence, and others.

Critical reception

The Ecology was met with universal acclaim from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received a composite score of 84, indicating "universal acclaim". In a USA Today article, The Ecology ranked at number 5 among the Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums of 2015. Darryl Robertson of XXL gave the album an XL rating, saying that "The Ecology’s core throbs with an MC offering an array of content matched with the confidence to tell his story, even if it’s not about moving tons of drugs, fucking bitches and being covered in jewels." HipHopDX gave the album a favorable review, stating that "Fashawn’s sophomore release is a strong follow-up, six years in the making, that hits hard while preaching perseverance. Mass Appeal appears to be doing all the right things, and Fashawn is in a unique position on a roster ripe with young talent. The Ecology is the great second album he needed to keep trending upwards." In a positive review for Exclaim!, Del F. Cowie wrote that "Fashawn hangs admirably with his label boss [Nas], assertively vowing he's in it for the long haul, issuing a forthright missive that confirms The Ecology was definitely worth the wait.". Jeff Weiss of LA Weekly commented, "There’s heartfelt realism, raw raps and endearing warmth."

Popular culture
"The Letter F" appears on the soundtrack for the video game NBA Live 15, released by EA Sports on October 28, 2014. The game's successor NBA Live 16 was released on September 29, 2015, and features "Out the Trunk" as its main theme.

title: The Norwalk Theatre

text:
The Norwalk Theatre is a historic theatre building located at 57 East Main Street in Norwalk, Ohio. It is owned by the Norwalk Arts Center, LLC, and is a textbook example of the pre-World War II Art Deco style of architecture. Designed by the noted theatre architect John Eberson, the theatre was completed in 1941. It features a porcelain enamel and brick facade and the largest marquee in the state of Ohio.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.

Built for Schine Chain Theatres, Inc., the theatre was air conditioned using the latest available equipment, and it offered customers with hearing loss special headphones to better enjoy the films. It was originally outfitted with 1,111 seats (901 on the main floor, 210 in the balcony). The theatre currently features 924 seats due to the later addition of an expanded stage, orchestra pit, and theatre organ. A special elevator assembly allows the theatre organ to be lifted to stage height for pre-show music performances.

Outside, the marquee features both neon and incandescent illumination, with a portion of the incandescent bulbs (surrounding the vertical panels) operated by a mechanical chaser motor. Interior and exterior art deco fixtures and décor all remain as when built, with the exception of the front office/candy shop area, which was revised to accommodate the addition of restrooms with increased accessibility.

In the auditorium, large art deco murals depicting a goddess (possibly Diana) with wildlife were painted by Edoardo G. Battisti of Battisti Studios in New York, a firm responsible for the interior decoration within many theatres of this era.

The theatre opened to the public on August 13, 1941, with the showing of The Bride Came C.O.D. and various other shorts, including Bugs Bunny in The Heckling Hare.

The theatre has been undergoing renovation since 2012, and a project completion date is uncertain at this time.

title: No-show (airlines)

text:
A no-show is a condition when a person does not appear to their expected place. In aviation, no-show is when a ticketed passenger doesn't show up for their flight. Such passenger are also sometimes called a no-show.

Airlines attempt to reduce losses caused by no-shows by employing tactics such as overbooking, reconfirmation, and no-show penalty charges. The U.S. government warns consumers to not be a no-show.

Some airlines include a no-show clause in their Contract of carriage. It basically means that a user not showing up for the outbound flight will be considered a no-show, and all the connecting flights associated with this one, even a return flight, will be cancelled and no refund will apply.

This is an example of no-show clause in the terms of use of Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS):

While it is not clear if carriers should refund users regarding navigation taxes (related to the airline operation and to the governments, which do not appear on a ticket), other expenses, like security, air passenger duty, and noise/environmental can all be refunded, as these all relate to the passenger's use of any particular airport to depart/arrive on any particular flight.

This clause has raised much concern among users, and court rulings have converged to the conclusion that "carriers cannot force passengers to fly".

Often no-shows are treated the same way regardless of reason. This means that a passenger who is delayed by a problem during the travel to airport will get the return flight cancelled even if wanting to rebook the outbound flight at the airport. A new ticket bought shortly before departure often needs to be business class due to airline policy.

The Samsung Galaxy Spica, also known as Samsung Spica, Samsung GT-I5700, Samsung Galaxy Lite and Samsung Galaxy Portal, is a smartphone manufactured by Samsung that uses the open source Android operating system. The phone is positioned below the Samsung Galaxy (original). Even though some of its features like the camera resolution, storage and data connection speeds are lower than the i7500 its processor's clock speed is much higher at 800 MHz. It is succeeded by the Samsung Galaxy 3.

Features
The Galaxy Spica is 3G smartphone, offering quad-band GSM and announced with two-band HSDPA (900/2100) at 3.6Mbit/s. The phone features a 3.2-inch LCD capacitive touch screen, a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, and a digital compass. The i5700 has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack and is equipped with DNSe 2.0.

Software-wise, the Galaxy Spica offers a suite of Mobile Google services, including Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Google Calendar, and Google Talk. The phone's GPS enables Google Maps features such as My Location, Google Latitude, and Street View. It also supports MP3, AAC (including iTunes Plus downloads), WMA audio, and H.264 video.

title: Appleseed Alpha

text:
Appleseed Alpha (also styled as Appleseed α) is a computer-animated military science fiction cyberpunk film. The English version's voice cast includes Luci Christian (Deunan Knute), David Matranga (Briareos) and Wendel Calvert (Two Horns). It was announced on February 11, 2014, that Sony Pictures Worldwide and Lucent Pictures Entertainment would making a new CG-animated film. This film does not follow the previous Appleseed movie canon; it is an alternate version of the story's origins. Briareos, for example, is already a cyborg and did not become separated from Deunan to be later reunited in Olympus to join ESWAT. A 2 volume prequel manga by Iou Kuroda was published in Morning Two in 2014.

Appleseed Alpha had an advance digital release on July 15, 2014.

Plot

In the 22nd century, after a devastating world war, veterans Deunan Knute and Briareos are living in the ruins of New York doing jobs for a cyborg despot named Two Horns, with Deunan hoping that once they've paid off their debt to him for fixing Briareos' war injuries, they can go find the legendary utopic city of Olympus, though Briareos is more pessimistic. However, whenever they are close to finishing a job, they are sabotaged.

One day, while eliminating rogue combat drones, Deunan and Briareos meet Olson, a cybernetics-equipped soldier, and a young girl named Iris. Though initially reserved around each other, Olson discovers that Two Horns' mechanic Mattews has been deliberately crippling Briareos' systems to keep him and Deunan under Two Horns' thumb. Soon after, two cyborgs named Talos and Nyx, who are trailing Olson and Iris, appear, forcing Deunan and Briareos to depart with their new friends. After questioning Two Horns, and then attempting to kill him, Talos puts Deunan and Briareos on his target list as well. After recovering, Two Horns follows them to capture Iris and use her as a bargaining chip against Talos.

As they travel together, Iris and Olson gradually reveal that they are from Olympus, on a mission to dispose of leftover weapons from the war. Talos is also an agent from Olympus who has developed a messiah complex and wants to use Iris to take control of these weapons. When Two Horns finds and attacks them, Iris and Olson are captured by Talos. After brutally extracting the location of a prototype superweapon from Olson's memories, Talos murders him and takes Iris with him. Briareos and Deunan find Olson's body, recover the information they need and follow Talos and Iris to the weapon's location.

In a secret underground bunker, Talos activates the superweapon - a giant, heavily armed mobile fortress - using Iris' retinal pattern. Deunan and Briareos fight their way into the complex, supported by Two Horns, who is now out for revenge against Talos, and Mattews, who presents Deunan with a power amor suit. Briareos duels and kills Nyx, but Deunan is too late to save Iris; the fortress makes its way to the surface, but instead of following Talos' commands, it is hardwired on a suicide bombing mission against New York. With Two Horns and Briareos' help, Deunan boards the superwalker and kills Talos, but in order to destroy the weapon, Briareos must snipe its power core. To prevent countermeasures, Iris remains aboard and evicts Deunan from the fortress after revealing that she is a bioroid specifically created for this mission. Briareos takes the shot, destroying both the fortress and Iris inside it.

After regrouping, Deunan and Briareos depart for Olympus, with Two Horns absolving them of their debts and Mattews gifting them the restored exosuit. Unknown to them, they have been closely observed by Olympus Officer Hitomi, Iris' human template. When asked whether Deunan and Briareos should be brought to Olympus for their help, Hitomi explains instead: "They're like apple seeds. Wherever they go, hope will sprout. Others who are worthy are sure to follow."

title: Love Creek

text:
Love Creek is a creek in California. It starts around 1,000 feet above sea level, flows southward through the town of Ben Lomond, California in Santa Cruz County, California, and enters the San Lorenzo River south of Ben Lomond. It is actually on the higher ground side of the business district, which makes the possibility of flooding serious.

On the night of 5 January 1982, thirty homes were destroyed and ten people killed by a massive mudslide.

Etymology
Love Creek gets the name from Captain Harry Love who, in 1853, was in charge of the California Rangers to track down the bandit Joaquin Murieta (some spell it Murrieta). He later moved to the Santa Cruz Mountains and built a sawmill on a stream this stream that was later named for him.

History
Love Creek is remembered because of the landslide in 1982. Quoted from, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey USGS Premiers Documentary Film on "Landslide Danger in the Bay Area" 2/20/2007: "In January 1982 a single, catastrophic rainstorm triggered 18,000 landslides throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The most destructive of these landslides was in the Love Creek area of the Santa Cruz Mountains, where a 1000-foot slab of heavily wooded hill slope crashed down without warning on sleeping residents of Love Creek Heights. Ten of the Love Creek residents were buried by the slide." Quoted from a report on landslides by the USGS: " The slide occurred on the west-facing slope of Love Creek, about  north of the city of Santa Cruz. It was about  wide,  long, and  thick, with a volume of about 500,000 cubic meters(17.6 million cubic feet). The slide and an accompanying debris flow dammed Love Creek, forming a lake about  long that flooded several homes."

In 1976 the Santa Cruz county officials had started to contract for the services of an environmental consulting firm with Michael C. Moore and Bruce W. Stenman, to use the newly declassified NASA satellite photos of the county to conduct a mapping and on the ground assessment of stability. The county officials cancelled the survey after local real estate developers expressed strong opposition. A survey of unsafe areas would have limited the ability of the developers to build roads and homes in the mountainous areas of Santa Cruz county. A later study was done but without the requisite verification on the ground and so it was not an accurate survey of area.

Love Creek flooding and landslides took place in an area that had been stable for centuries prior to the logging and removal of the redwoods which continues to the present day. Santa Cruz county officials approved the building of roads and homes while ignoring the hazardous conditions being created with this change in the landscape. This was a man made disaster.

title: Leslie R. Hewitt

text:
Leslie Randall Hewitt (September 12, 1867 – December 17, 1936) was an American journalist, lawyer, judge and politician. He wrote for the Los Angeles Express before reading law. From 1906 to 1910, Hewitt was Los Angeles City Attorney. He later served one term in the California State Senate, and between 1913 and 1924, served as a judge in the California superior court system.

Personal

Hewitt was born on September 12, 1867, in Olympia, Washington, the son of Randall H. Hewitt, a journalist from Seneca Falls, New York, and Ellen L. Hewitt. Leslie was brought to Los Angeles by his parents at age about 9; he was an unsuccessful candidate for appointment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, when he was 14 years old. He graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1885, and he was president of the school's alumni association in 1890.

That same year, Hewitt was awarded a bachelor of letters degree by the University of California

Hewitt was married to Mable Eastwood of New Castle, California, on April 30, 1901, in San Francisco. They had three children, Beatrice, Asa R. and Emily Ellen. He was a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association and the California State Bar Association.  He was a thirty-second degree Mason, belonging to Pentalpha Lodge, No. 202, Free and Accepted Masons; Los Angeles Consistory of the Scottish Rite; and Al Malaikah Temple of the Mystic Shrine.  He also is affiliated with Los Angeles Lodge, No. 2, Knights of Pythias; the University club, and the Army and Navy Club.

Hewitt died December 17, 1936, in his home on South Oakland Avenue in Pasadena, California. Burial was in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale.

Career

Hewitt worked for the Los Angeles Express when he was young, but after graduating from the university he studied law in the offices of Wills, Monroe and Lee and then with Houghton, Silent and Campbell. He was admitted to the bar in San Francisco in August 1893, and in 1895 he set up his own practice.

He was appointed deputy to Los Angeles City Attorney Walter F. Haas and then to Haas's successor, W.B. Mathews. In 1906 he was elected city attorney himself. One of the cases on which Hewitt worked was a petition for a writ of mandate against City Clerk Harry J. Lelande who had refused to publish an ordinance calling for an election on bond issues to provide for a Los Angeles Harbor and to improve the power system. While working on that case, he suffered a "nervous attack," a "swoon," and city health officer L.M. Powers had to be summoned. Hewitt insisted on finishing the complaint but then took time off to recover. Hewitt resigned the city attorney position in 1911 to become a special counsel for the first Los Angeles City Board of Harbor Commissioners.

A Republican, Hewitt was elected to the California State Senate in November 1910; he served four years. Between 1913 and 1924 he was a Superior Court judge, and then he gave up the bench to resume private practice, partnering with Guy R. Crump in the Title Insurance Building.

text:
Tomas Henry Gaynor (born 21 February 1991), known professionally as Allday, is an Australian rapper, singer and songwriter from Adelaide. Gaynor became active in 2011, when he began uploading his music for free online. Following his works becoming increasingly popular, he moved to Melbourne, to pursue a serious career before later relocating to Los Angeles in February 2017. His works have been influenced by acts such as Silverchair, Frank Ocean, and TLC. Gaynor released his debut album, Startup Cult, in July 2014 to Australian audiences. Startup Cult achieved success and reached number three on the ARIA Charts.

Early life
Gaynor grew up in the Adelaide suburb of Blackwood. He was raised Catholic and attended Blackwood High School. Gaynor played in a short-lived punk band in high school, which generated his interest in music. In 2011 Gaynor said "I basically grew up in the hip hop scene; I would have been about 11 years old when I went to my first show." In his youth, he had jobs at a pie shop, a pizza shop and Nando's. Gaynor started writing music at 11 years old but, due to a lack of equipment, he did not begin recording his music until he was 18.

Career

2011–2013: Career beginnings and mixtapes
Gaynor began producing works under the name Allday in 2011. The name "Allday" came about from a supermarket trip after Gaynor had smoked marijuana where he took a long time to choose a Tiny Teddy flavour.

In September 2011, Allday released his free for download debut mixtape Noue Yesue (pronounced "no-way yes-way"). It was followed by Soon I'll Be in Cali.

title: Pandemonium (Cavalera Conspiracy album)

text:
Pandemonium is the third studio album by Cavalera Conspiracy. The album was released October 31 in Europe, November 3 in the UK, and November 4, 2014 in North America.

Album information
During the writing of the album Max Cavalera almost considered naming the album "Fuck That Groove" because of how fast and brutal the songs ended up. In an interview with Loudwire, Max admitted to putting his brother Igor to the test, “It’s like trying to make him play fast like he’s 15-years-old … You’re gonna play fast the whole time and every time he was in a groove, I’d say, ‘Fuck the groove, get out of the groove and go back to fast.”

A new song titled "Bonzai Kamikaze" was uploaded to Napalm's official SoundCloud in August. The song is about Japanese kamikaze pilots and their fervor to commit suicide for their country.

title: Columbus Cats

text:
The Columbus Cats AFC are an Australian Rules football team based in the city of Columbus, Ohio. The team is a part of the wider Columbus ARFC Inc. organization which is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization.  The Cats compete in the United States Australian Football League and were Division Two national champions in 2013 and Division Three runner-up in 2012.

History

Australian Rules Football in the United States began in 1997 as the Cincinnati Dockers tackled the Louisville Kings. These clubs would form the foundation of the USAFL. In the mid-2000s, young, athletic Dockers full back Matthew Reiss moved to central Ohio. In 2007, Chester Ridenour returned from a trip to Australia with a new-found enthusiasm for Aussie Rules. He subsequently joined the Dockers, who had never seen such a tall, determined player. Somewhere in between his first game and July 2008, Ridenour tricked Reiss into founding a club in their native city.  They were a match made in heaven: Ridenour's oft obnoxious enthusiasm and energy meshed well with Reiss's pragmatic sensibilities.

Recruitment was easy for the newly formed club, as Ridenour initially tapped into his vast sporting network associated with Thomas Worthington High School. The club won its first meeting with the Cincinnati Dockers in 2008 and several players competed on their national championship team that season. The team grew through 2009 and 2010, with the Jackaroos obtaining their first win at the USAFL national championships over the Las Vegas Gamblers in 2010.

Former Marine John Fisher took over the coaching reins in 2011.  Fisher's style of play, emphasizing hard running and handball, paid dividends.  In 2011, the Jackaroos dismantled the Nashville Kangaroos and the North Carolina Tigers but key players missing at Nationals in Austin, Texas, meant the team went winless.  The following season, Columbus enjoyed its first ever win over the Chicago Swans and performed consistently all year.  The 2012 national championships saw the Jackaroos lose to Chicago in highly controversial circumstances in the Division Three grand final.

This miscarriage of justice only served to steel the resolve of the playing group and 2013 led to by far the greatest season in central Ohio's Aussie Rules history. The Jackaroos had only dropped one game heading in to Nationals in Austin; this form raised them into Division Two. The Jackaroos vanquished Baltimore/Washington, Minnesota and New York in short order. The grand final against Los Angeles saw a healthy crowd watch David slay Goliath, as the Jackaroos raised the championship cup for the first time. Many have said it was the greatest victory in Aussie Rules Football history.

title: The 1947 Partition Archive

text:
The 1947 Partition Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit oral history organization in Berkeley, California, and a registered trust in Delhi, India, that collects, preserves, and shares first-hand accounts of the Partition of India in 1947.

Given the sensitive relationship between Partition stories and Hindu–Muslim relations, only a small portion of the Archive's collection has been released to the public in edited form. Currently, access to the stories is granted on a case-by-case basis to scholars for academic research.

In 2023, the Archive started to observe June 3 as the Partition Remembrance Day because it was on this day in 1947 that the viceroy declared the Mountbatten Plan to divide India. It also announced to launch a book with 4000 oral testimonies and 1000 photographs illustrating the voices of the partition survivors spread across various countries in South Asia and elsewhere.

History
The organization started in 2010 when Dr Guneeta Singh Bhalla began recording video interviews with elder Partition witnesses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and was formalized in 2011. The creation of the 1947 Partition Archive was inspired by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and the work of various Holocaust memorials.

Organization
The 1947 Partition Archive crowd-sources the collection of Partition witness interviews and conducts free classes, in the form of an online Oral History Workshop, to train volunteers in story-collection and interviewing techniques. As of July 2023, over 10,200 interviews have been collected from more than 450 cities and villages in 14 countries including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel among others. These interviews are documented in diverse languages and dialects. The Archive's website includes a Story Map that shows the migration patterns of each interviewee.

The Archive's methods of crowd-sourcing story collection include Story Scholars, a fellowship program in which individuals are chosen based on academic merit and prior experience to conduct interviews in a selected region, and Citizen Historians, a program in which volunteers can contribute Partition stories to the organization's website. Based on the Archive's digital media platforms, ordinary citizens across the globe are "invited to join free oral history webinar workshops to learn the basic techniques for documenting oral histories, as outlined by the Oral History Association and Baylor University’s open source online resources." According to Dr Bhalla, "workshop attendees who successfully submit their first oral history interview, and it matches The Archive’s standards with its nine-point criteria, are certified as ‘Citizen Historian’ volunteers."

The Archive also offers funding for a one-month immersive residency to university faculties and students to research on Partition, known as the Tata Trusts Partition Archive Research Grants, in association with the University of Delhi, Ashoka University, and Guru Nanak Dev University. The primary objective of the Archive is to collect the "vanishing history of Punjab and South Asia through crowdsourced lived memories."

title: XHTM-TDT

text:
XHTM-TDT is a television station licensed to and broadcasting from Altzomoni, State of Mexico on virtual channel 2. Founded in 1952, it was the second television station built outside of Mexico City and the first relayer of Las Estrellas.

XHTM, along with Canal 5 transmitter XEX, serves one of Mexico's largest television service areas with a string of transmitters stretching from Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero to Tlaxcala, Tlaxcala, including transmitters in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Cuernavaca, Morelos and San Martín Texmelucan, Puebla. XHTM's digital transmitter was initially located at Televisa's Puebla transmitter site along with the digital operations of its Altzomoni sister stations and both analog and digital signals of Televisa's Puebla independent XHP-TV; in 2015, final digital facilities were built on Altzomoni, coinciding with a power increase from 45 kW to 236.

History
XHTM channel 10 started life with a different callsign and channel number. In late 1952, XEQ-TV channel 9 took to the air; owned by Emilio Azcárraga and bearing the callsign of his XEQ AM radio in Mexico City, it was the second television station outside of the nation's capital (preceded only by XELD-TV in Matamoros) and the nation's fourth. The original concessionaire was Radio Panamericana, S.A., making it a direct sister station to XEQ radio. The transmission from Paso de Cortés (Cortez Pass),  high, was said to make channel 9 the world's highest television station. The sign-on of XEQ-TV was the first step in the development of a national relay network, reaching an additional three million people. Not long after, Romulo O'Farrill built his own relay station on the mountain, XEX-TV. The establishment of XEQ thus led to Televisa's massive system of relay stations covering most of Mexico.

In 1985, XEX-TV and XEQ-TV were affected by a series of moves that added a VHF channel to the Mexico City area. Mexico City had channel 8, then known as XHTM-TV. XHTM moved to channel 9, taking on the XEQ-TV callsign. A new television station was placed on channel 7, Imevisión's XHIMT-TV. To accomplish this move, XEX-TV was relocated to channel 8 and XEQ-TV to channel 10, picking up the XHTM callsign discarded in Mexico City.

In 1994, XEX and XHTM were joined on the mountain by a third Televisa station, XHATZ-TV (channel 32), as part of a 62-station concession used to help take XEQ-TV's signal national.

Digital operations for Televisa's Altzomoni stations—XEX, XHTM and XHATZ—were based in Puebla proper until 2015.

Repeaters
XHTM operates one of Mexico's most extensive networks of repeaters:

History
During the British period all connections from southern parts of Bengal to North Bengal were through the eastern part of Bengal. From 1878, the railway route from Kolkata, then called Calcutta, was in two laps. The first lap was a 185 km journey along the Eastern Bengal State Railway from Calcutta Station (later renamed Sealdah) to Damookdeah Ghat on the southern bank of the Padma River, then across the river in a ferry and the second lap of the journey. A 336 km metre-gauge line of the North Bengal Railway linked Saraghat on the northern bank of the Padma to Siliguri via Jalpaiguri.

The 1.8 km long Hardinge Bridge across the Padma came up in 1912. In 1926 the metre-gauge section north of the bridge was converted to broad gauge, and so the entire Calcutta–Siliguri route became broad-gauge. The route thus ran: Sealdah–Ranaghat–Bheramara–Hardinge Bridge–Iswardi–Santahar––Parabtipur–Nilphamari–––Siliguri.

With the partition of India, this track got trisected. The through route was formally closed after the India–Pakistan War in 1965.

The Siliguri–Haldibari, part of the original broad-gauge Calcutta–Siliguri track via Hardinge Bridge, got delinked from the trunk route in 1947. As all the other tracks in the area were metre gauge, it was converted from broad gauge to metre gauge in the late forties. When New Jalpaiguri railway station came up, the line was extended to New Jalpiguri. When broad-gauge lines were laid in the area, it was reconverted to broad gauge and now functions as the Haldibari–New Jalpaiguri line.

title: Gerrit Cornelisz Vlasman

text:
Gerrit Cornelisz. Vlasman (before 1600 – after 1624), was a Dutch Golden Age brewer and member of the Haarlem schutterij.

Biography
He was the son of Cornelis Gerritsz. Vlasman, a landowner with privileges near Sassenheim who owned the Haarlem brewery Het Zeepaard. He became a flag bearer of the St. George militia in Haarlem from 1612-1624. He was portrayed by Frans Hals in The Banquet of the Officers of the St George Militia Company in 1616.

He either died or married after 1624, as his name no longer appears in the membership lists of the St. George militia after that. He was probably related to Cornelia Jansdr. Vlasman, who married the painter Floris van Dyck in 1625.

title: John Sampson (North Carolina politician)

text:
John Sampson (1719–1784) was a politician in North Carolina during and after the American Colonial era. After immigrating to the colony from northern Ireland, he settled near Wilmington. He was appointed to local offices, raised a militia to defend against the Spanish Alarm, and served as a Revolutionary War Patriot militia officer. He was an early settler in Duplin County, North Carolina. He served as mayor of Wilmington, North Carolina starting in 1760.

Sampson County, North Carolina is named in honor of him.

Early life
John Sampson was born in 1719 and grew up in northern Ireland, and was likely of Scots-Irish or Border English descent. He immigrated as a youth or young man to the colony of North Carolina in North America in the 1730s or 1740s, settling in the Wilmington, North Carolina area. He appeared to have become established before the Spanish Alarm of 1747. He developed a farm there, and married and had a family.

Military career
The War of the Austrian Succession brought military battle close to Sampson in 1747. He was called upon to raise a militia company of men in New Hanover County to protect against any Spanish raids or invasions from Florida. Spanish forces raided the coastal towns of the Carolinas and Georgia during the period known as the Spanish Alarm, extending into the 1740s.

In 1771, Sampson served as a Lieutenant General in the Colonial Militia of the Royal Governor William Tryon, fighting against members of the Regulator Rebellion in Halifax, North Carolina. Governor Tryon ordered Sampson to raise several hundred men from Duplin County in order to help.

There was widespread fighting and civil disobedience: county justices of the peace, such as future state governor Alexander Martin, were attacked and flogged on the street by Regulators. The Regulator Rebellion forces outnumbered those of the colonial militia by a two to one ratio. Governor Tryon led an attack in what became known as the Battle of Alamance, which resulted in between 8-12 men killed and as many as 100 wounded. Several of the captains of the Regulator's Militia were taken prisoner and later executed by Tryon. John Sampson appeared to support the Continental Militia during the Revolutionary War.

Political career
Sampson was appointed as the first Register of Deeds for Duplin County for the first two years after the county had been created in 1750 from New Hanover County, North Carolina. A decade later, Sampson was elected in 1760 as the first mayor of the strategic port of Wilmington, North Carolina.

During the administration of Colonial Governor William Tryon, Sampson was a member of his Executive Council. He is believed to have continued in this role after the Halifax Constitution of 1776 was signed and Richard Caswell became Governor of the state.

Legacy
Sampson's step-son Richard Clinton and his biological son, James Sampson, also became important political and military figures during the American Revolution and the early years of the 19th century. Sampson County, North Carolina is named in honor of General John Sampson.
