title: Ethnic groups in Los Angeles

text:
The 1990 United States census and 2000 United States census found that non-Hispanic whites were becoming a minority in Los Angeles. Estimates for the 2010 United States census results find Latinos to be approximately half (47-49%) of the city's population, growing from 40% in 2000 and 30-35% in 1990 census.

The racial/ethnic/cultural composition of Los Angeles as of the 2005-2009 American Community Survey was as follows:

 White: 41.3% (Non-Hispanic Whites: 29.4%)
 Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 47.5%
 Black or African American: 9.8%
 Native American: 0.5%
 Asian: 10.7%
 Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander: 0.2%
   Other: 25.2%
 Two or more races: 2.8%

Approximately 59.4% of Los Angeles' residents were born in the 50 United States, and 0.9% were born in Puerto Rico, US territories, or abroad to American parents. 39.7% of the population were foreign-born.  Most foreigners (64.5%) were born in Latin America. A large minority (26.3%) were born in Asia. Smaller numbers were born in Europe (6.5%), Africa (1.5%), Northern America (0.9%), and Oceania (0.3%).

African Americans

Los Angeles was founded by settlers who were predominantly of African descent, and the city had 2,100 Black Americans in 1900. By 1920 this grew to approximately 15,000. In 1910, the city had the highest percentage of black home ownership in the nation, with more than 36% of the city's African-American residents owning their own homes. Black leader W.E.B. Du Bois described Los Angeles in 1913 as a "wonderful place" because it was less subjected to racial discrimination due to its population being small and the ongoing tensions between Anglos and Mexicans. This changed in the 1920s when restrictive covenants that enforced segregation became widespread. Blacks were mostly confined along the South Central corridor, Watts, and small enclaves in Venice and Pacoima, which received far fewer services than other areas of the city.

After World War II, the city's black population grew from 63,774 in 1940 to 170,000 a decade later as many continued to flee from the South for better opportunities. By 1960, Los Angeles had the fifth largest black population in the United States, larger than any city in the South. Still, they remained in segregated enclaves. The Supreme Court banned the legal enforcement of race-oriented restrictive covenants in the Shelley v. Kraemer case (1948), yet black home ownership declined severely during this period.

Decades of police mistreatment and other racial injustices eventually lead to the Watts riots of 1965, after a minor traffic incident resulted in four days of rioting. Thirty-four people were killed and 1,034 injured at a cost of $40 million in property damage and looting. So many businesses burned on 103rd Street that it became known as "Charcoal Alley."

The city strove to improve social services for the black community, but with many of the high-paying industrial jobs gone black unemployment remained high. The growth of street gangs and drugs in minority communities exacerbated the problems.

By 1990, the LAPD, which had followed a paramilitaristic model since Chief Parker's regime in the 1950s, became more alienated from minority communities following accusations of racial profiling. In 1992, a jury in suburban Simi Valley acquitted white Los Angeles police officers involved in the beating of a black motorist, Rodney King, the year before. After four days of rioting, more than 50 deaths, and billions of dollars of property losses, mostly in the Central City, the California Army National Guard, federal troops, and the local and state police finally regained control.

Since the 1980s, more middle class black families have left the central core of Los Angeles to settle in other California municipalities or out of state. In 1970, blacks made up 18% of the city's population. That percentage has dropped to 10% in 2010 as many continue to leave to settle elsewhere. Los Angeles still has the largest black population of any city in the Western United States. Blacks from Los Angeles have moved to the north suburbs of Palmdale and Lancaster. Many blacks are relocating to the Southern United States.

Caribbean and African black immigrants are more recent. 7,000 Nigerians, 5,000 Ethiopians, 1,000 Ghanaians, 9,900 Jamaicans, 1,900 Haitians, and 1,700 Trinidadians live in Los Angeles. They are concentrated in South Los Angeles, Compton and Inglewood.

There is an Ethiopian and Eritrean community in Little Ethiopia.

Louisiana Creoles are present in Los Angeles. Between 1940 and 1970, roughly 5 million African Americans from the Southern United States migrated North during the Second Great Migration. Many came from Southern states bordering the Gulf Coast, primarily Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Black families from Louisiana escaping Jim Crow racism primarily settled in California. Many of them were Louisiana Creoles.

Ethiopians
There is a large Ethiopian community in Little Ethiopia.

Jamaicans
Jamaicans are concentrated in South Los Angeles, South Bay and Long Beach.

Africans
There is a growing African immigrant community in Los Angeles. The largest African immigrant groups are Egyptians, Nigerians, Eritreans, South Africans, Ghanaians, Ethiopians, Cameroonians, Moroccans, Ugandans, Kenyans and Eritreans.

Asian Americans

According to the report "A Community Of Contrasts: Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles County" by the nonprofit group Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Los Angeles (formerly the Asian Pacific American Legal Center), Los Angeles County had 1,497,960 Asian Americans as of 2010. From 2000 to 2010 the Asian population in Los Angeles County increased by 20%.

Within Los Angeles County, as of 2010 13 cities and places are majority Asian. As of that year, the City of Los Angeles had the highest numeric Asian population, with slightly fewer than 500,000. The city with the highest percentage of Asians was Monterey Park, which was 68% Asian. From 2000 to 2010 the city of Arcadia saw its Asian population increase by 38%, the largest such increase in the county.

As of 2010, in the world, except for the respective home countries, Los Angeles County has the largest populations of Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, Korean, Sri Lankan, and Thai people. In Los Angeles County the largest Asian ethnic groups were the Chinese and the Filipinos. In the period 2000-2010 the percentage of Bangladeshi Americans increased by 122%. Indian Americans, Pakistani Americans, Sri Lankan Americans, and other South Asian ethnic groups had, according to the report and as paraphrased by Elson Trinidad of KCET, "high growth rates".

As of 2010, of the Asian ethnic groups, 70% of Japanese Americans were born in the U.S., the highest such rate of the ethnic groups. 19% of Japanese Americans were senior citizens, the highest such rate of the ethnic groups. From 2000-2010 the Japanese Americans increased by 1%, the lowest such rate of the ethnic groups.

Bangladeshis
More than 20,000 Bangladeshis live in the Los Angeles area. There is a Bangladesh community in Little Bangladesh.

Cambodians
Cambodians are concentrated in Long Beach, Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley, the Monterey Park-Alhambra area of the south San Gabriel Valley and the Walnut-Pomona area of the east San Gabriel Valley.

Chinese

The first Chinese arrived in Los Angeles in 1850. The great majority came from Guangdong Province in southeastern China, seeking a fortune in Gum Saan ("Gold Mountain"), the Chinese name for America. Henry Huntington came to value their expertise as engineers. He later said he would not have been able to build his portion of the transcontinental railroad without them. After the transcontinental railroad was completed, most took their earnings and returned to China, where they could find a wife and own a little land. Others moved to Chinatowns in the cities. By 1870, there were 178 Chinese in LA; 80% were adult men. Most worked as launderers, cooks and fruit and vegetable growers and sellers. Labor unions blamed Chinese for lowering the wages and living standards of Anglo workers, and for being ruled by violent secret societies known as "tongs." The newspapers of both Los Angeles and San Francisco were filled with anti-Chinese propaganda.

The thriving Chinatown, on the eastern edge of the Plaza, was the site of terrible violence on October 24, 1871. A gunfight between rival tongs resulted in the accidental death of a white man. This enraged the bystanders, and a mob of about 500 Anglos and Latinos descended on Chinatown. They randomly lynched 19 Chinese men and boys, only one of whom may have been involved in the original killing. Homes and businesses were looted. Only 10 rioters were tried. Eight were convicted of manslaughter, but their convictions were overturned the following year on a legal technicality. This Chinese Massacre of 1871 was the first time that Los Angeles was reported on the front pages of newspapers all over the world, even crowding out reports of the Great Chicago Fire, which had taken place two weeks earlier. While the Los Angeles Star went so far to call the massacre "a glorious victory", others fretted about the city's racist and violent image. With the coming economic opportunities of the railroads, city fathers set themselves to wipe out mob violence.

Their efforts, however, led to more restrictive measures against the Chinese. In 1878–79, the city council passed several measures adversely affecting Chinese vegetable merchants. The merchants went on strike. Los Angeles went without vegetables for several weeks, finally bringing the city to the bargaining table. Historian William Estrada wrote: "This little-known event may have helped the Chinese to better understand their role in the community as well as the power of organization as a means for community self-defense. The strike was a sign that Los Angeles was undergoing dramatic social, economic, and technological change and that the Chinese were a part of that change."

Filipinos

The city of Los Angeles is home to one of the largest communities of Filipinos abroad, boasting a population of nearly 150,000 people both foreign-born and multi-generational. Filipino American communities can be found throughout the city, however there is a dedicated Historic Filipinotown located near Echo Park.

Indians

Around 109,000 Indian Americans reside in Los Angeles County.

Indonesians
There is an Indonesian community in the Los Angeles area.

Japanese

The labor vacuum created by the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was filled by Japanese workers and, by 1910, the settlement known as "Little Tokyo" had risen next to Chinatown. As of December 1941, there were 37,000 ethnic Japanese in Los Angeles County, most of the adults lacked United States citizenship. It was disrupted in 1942 with all the residents moved to relocation camps inland in the Japanese American internment.

Koreans

Since 1965 when the immigration laws were liberalized, Los Angeles has emerged as a major center of the Korean American community. Its "Koreatown" is often seen as the "overseas Korean capital." Many have been entrepreneurs, opening shops and small factories.<ref>Ivan Light and Edna Bonacich. Immigrant Entrepreneurs: Koreans in Los Angeles, 1965-1982' '(1991).</ref> Koreatown experienced rapid transition in the 1990s, with heavy investment by Korean banks and corporations, and the arrival of tens of thousands of Koreans, as well as even larger numbers of Hispanic workers. Many entrepreneurs opened small businesses, and were hard hit by the 1992 Los Angeles riots. More recently, L.A.'s Koreatown has been perceived to have experienced declining political power secondary to re-districting and an increased crime rate, prompting an exodus of Koreans from the area. After the riots many relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area.

According to Park (1998) the violence against Korean Americans in 1992 stimulated a new wave of political activism among Korean Americans, but it also split them into two main camps. The "liberals" sought to unite with other minorities in Los Angeles to fight against racial oppression and scapegoating. The "conservatives," emphasized law and order and generally favored the economic and social policies of the Republican Party. The conservatives tended to emphasize the political differences between Koreans and other minorities, specifically blacks and Hispanics. Abelmann and Lie, (1997) report that the most profound result was the politicization of Korean Americans, all across the U.S. The younger generation especially realized they had been too uninvolved in American politics, and the riot shifted their political attention from South Korea to conditions in the United States.

Roma
50,000 Roma live in Los Angeles.

Thais

Hispanic and Latino Americans

The city has witnessed a development of a Hispanic (mainly Mexican) cultural presence since its settlement as a city in 1781. Mexican Americans have been one of the largest ethnic groups in Los Angeles since the 1910 census, as Mexican immigrants and U.S.-born Mexicans from the Southwest states came to the booming industrial economy of the LA area between 1915 and 1960, the Mexican-American or Chicano population was estimated at 815,000 by 1970. This migration peaked in the 1920s and again in the World War II era (1941–45).

The city's original barrios were located in the eastern half of the city and the unincorporated community of East Los Angeles. The trend of Hispanization began in 1970, then accelerated in the 1980s and 1990s with immigration from Mexico and Central America (especially El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala). These immigrants settled in the city's eastern and southern neighborhoods. Salvadoran Americans are the second largest Hispanic population in Los Angeles, a city which holds the largest Salvadoran population outside of El Salvador and the Salvadoran diaspora living abroad and overseas. These were refugees that arrived in the 1980s and 1990s during the Salvadoran Civil War which was part of the Central American crisis. By 2000, South Los Angeles was a majority Latino area, displacing most previous African American and Asian American residents. The city is often said to have the largest Mexican population outside Mexico and has the largest Spanish-speaking population outside Latin America or Spain. As of 2007, estimates of the number of residents originally from the Mexican state of Oaxaca ranged from 50,000 to 250,000. Central American, Cuban, Puerto Rican, and South American nationalities are also represented.

There is a shift of second and third generation Mexican Americans out of Los Angeles into nearby suburbs, such as Ventura County, Orange County, San Diego, and the Inland Empire, California region. Mexican and other Hispanic immigrants moved in east and south sections of Los Angeles and sometimes, Asian immigrants moved into historic barrios to become mostly Asian American areas. Starting in the late 1980s, Downey has become a renowned Latino majority community in Southern California, and the majority of residents moved in were middle or upper-middle class, and second and third generation Mexican Americans.

The anti-union, open-shop heritage of the Chandlers and the Los Angeles Times continued to assure Los Angeles of a steady supply of cheap labor from Mexico and Central America throughout the 20th century. This was met by the increasing opposition of anti-immigration forces throughout the country.

A steady migration of Mexicans to California from 1910 to 1930 expanded the Mexican and Latino population in Los Angeles to 97,116 or 7.8%. In 1930, a large repatriation of 400–500,000 Mexican immigrants and their children began after the onset of the Depression, massive unemployment, encouragement by the government of Mexico, the threat of deportation and welfare agencies willing to pay for the tickets of those leaving (some 2 million European immigrants left as well).

At the same time, the city celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1931 with a grand "fiesta de Los Angeles" featuring a blond "reina" in historic ranchera costume. By 1940 the Latino population dropped to 7.1%, but remained at slightly over 100,000.

During World War II, hostility toward Mexican-Americans took a different form, as local newspapers portrayed Chicano youths, who sometimes called themselves "pachucos", as barely civilized gangsters. Anglo servicemen attacked young Chicanos dressed in the pachuco uniform of the day: long coats with wide shoulders and pleated, high-waisted, pegged pants, or zoot suits. In 1943, twenty-two young Chicanos were convicted of a murder of another youth at a party held at a swimming hole southeast of Los Angeles known as the "sleepy lagoon" on a warm night in August 1942; they were eventually freed after an appeal that demonstrated both their innocence and the racism of the judge conducting the trial. Today, the event is known as the Zoot Suit Riots.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Chicanos and/or Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles organized protests and demonstrations calling for their civil rights and promoted self-empowerment in the Chicano Movement. In the 1990s, redistricting led to the election of Latino members of the city council and the first Latino members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors since its inception. In 1994, California voters passed Proposition 187, which denied undocumented immigrants and their families in California welfare, health benefits, and education.

City council member Antonio Villaraigosa was elected mayor in 2005, the first Latino elected to that office since the 1872.

In 2006 anti-immigration forces supported the federal Border Protection, Anti-terrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 (H.R. 4437). The act made "unlawful presence" an "aggravated felony." On 25 March, a million Latinos staged La Gran Marcha on City Hall to protest the bill. It was the largest demonstration in California history. Similar protests in other cities across the country made this a turning point in the debate on immigration reform.

Hispanics are concentrated in San Gabriel Valley suburbs like El Monte, Baldwin Park, Irwindale, and West Covina.

More than 10,000 Chileans live in the Los Angeles area.

Middle Eastern Americans

Middle Eastern groups in the Los Angeles area include Arab, Armenian, Iranian, and Israeli populations. The U.S. Census classifies them as "White".

Over 50% of Middle Eastern men in Los Angeles held professional and managerial jobs as of 1990. Compared to men, women of Middle Eastern backgrounds had less of a likelihood of having these positions. A large number of Middle Eastern immigrants to Los Angeles are self-employed.

Arabs
As of the 1990 U.S. census, the Los Angeles area had 80,000 Arabs, making up 9% of the total number of Arabs in the United States. This was, outside of Metro Detroit, one of the largest Arab populations in the country. As of 1996 economic reasons were the primary reasons for Arab immigration.

Most Arabs in the Los Angeles area come from Egypt and Lebanon; Arabs from other countries in the Middle East and North Africa are present. Most Arabs in Los Angeles are Muslim and Christian, though some are Jewish.

As of 1996, the self-employment rate of Arab managers and professionals in Los Angeles is over 50%.

The New Horizon School, a private Muslim day school in South Pasadena, was established in 1984 and had sponsorship of the Islamic Center of Southern California. 80% of its student body, as of 1988, was Muslim. The school had one daily hour of Arabic language instruction for its students.

Armenians

The Los Angeles metropolitan area has a significant Armenian American population. Beginning in the 1970s, large waves of Armenian immigration to Los Angeles took place, as a result of the Lebanese Civil War, the Iranian Revolution, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the First Nagorno-Karabakh War

Iranians

Jews

As of the 1990 U.S. census, the Los Angeles area had 20,000 Israelis, making up 17% of the total number of Israelis in the United States. This was the second-largest Israeli population after that of New York City. As of 1996 economic reasons were the primary reasons for Israeli immigration.

As of 1996 most immigrants from Israel to Los Angeles are Jews who are Hebrew-speakers.

As of 1996, the self-employment rate of Israeli managers and professionals in Los Angeles is over 50%.

Pacific Islander Americans
According to the report  "A Community Of Contrasts: Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles County" by the nonprofit group Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Los Angeles, Los Angeles County had 54,169 Pacific Islanders as of 2010. From 2000 to 2010 the Pacific Islander population in Los Angeles County increased by 9%. In 2010 the City of Los Angeles had 15,000 Pacific Islanders, the numerically largest in the county. The largest such per capita population was in Carson. From 2000 to 2010 the number of Pacific Islanders in Glendale increased by 74%, the largest such increase in the county.

The population of Fijian Americans in the county grew by 68% during 2000-2010, making them the fastest growing Pacific Islander group. Los Angeles County, as of 2013, has the largest population of non-immigrant Native Hawaiians on the mainland United States.

Hawaiians
There is a Hawaiian community in Los Angeles.

Others

Native Americans and Alaskan Natives (including Latin American Indian groups) are a low-percentage, yet notable, part of the population. Los Angeles is thought to have the largest Urban Indian community in the United States (est. above 100,000-about 2% or higher upwards to 5% of the city population) who belong to over 100 tribal nations. There are between 2,000 and 25,000 members of the Cherokee Nation based in Tahlequah, Oklahoma in the city and county respectively. There is the local Chumash tribe whose homeland encompasses the Los Angeles Basin and Central Coast of California. Native Americans in Los Angeles, like throughout the country, are referred to an "invisible minority" in the press.

More than 50,000 Roma live in Los Angeles. Los Angeles has the largest population of Romani Americans in the United States.

Ethnic enclaves

Ethnic enclaves like Chinatown, the Byzantine-Latino Quarter, Historic Filipinotown, Little Saigon, Little Armenia, Little Ethiopia, Little Bangladesh,  Little Moscow (in Hollywood), Little Tokyo, Croatian Place and Via Italia in San Pedro, several Koreatowns, Tehrangeles in West Los Angeles, the Chinese enclaves in the San Gabriel Valley and Thai Town provide examples of the polyglot multicultural character of Los Angeles. Below is a list of many ethnic enclaves present in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Historical demographics
Historically, there was limited immigration to Los Angeles from Europe through the ports of San Pedro, Long Beach, and Venice. In the first half of the 20th century there were Irish, Italian, Greek, Croatian, Serbian, Polish, German, Portuguese, and Armenian neighborhoods in Bunker Hill (in what is now the Civic Center of Los Angeles) and in Boyle/Lincoln Heights.

Los Angeles has a history of Jewish residents, and they used to have neighborhoods on the East side of Los Angeles in the early 20th century. Nowadays, Jews in Los Angeles tend to live in the West side and the San Fernando Valley.

In the 1870s Mormons from Utah were recruited to settle in the Los Angeles basin and San Bernardino and contributed to the development of its local economy. In the 1930s thousands of Okies and other displaced rural whites from the Dust Bowl-struck Great Plains and Southern United States settled down in the Arroyo Seco and Elysian Park neighborhoods.

Since World War II (1945 onward) most whites in these neighborhoods have relocated to other parts of the city (i.e. the San Fernando Valley and Westwood, Los Angeles), nearby suburbs including Santa Clarita, the Orange Coast, Anaheim Hills, Yorba Linda, Norco and Simi Valley and other parts of Southern California.

Ancestries
The most ancestries in Los Angeles are English (3.1%), French (1.1%), German (3.8%), Irish (3.6%), Italian (2.7), Norwegian (0.4), Polish (1.4) and Scottish (0.7).

Sir James was the son of Sir James Johnstone, 3rd Baronet and his wife Barabara, daughter of Alexander Murray, 4th Lord Elibank. In about 1759 he married Louisa Maria Elizabeth Colclough, the widow of Rev. John Meyrick, vicar of Edwinstowe, East Retford, Nottinghamshire.  They had no children.

Military career
He joined the marines in 1748 as a Second Lieutenant, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in 1772.

Political career
Johnstone first tried to enter Parliament at the 1774 general election, when he began canvassing Dumfries Burghs, where the interest of the 3rd Duke of Queensberry was dominant. However, he made little progress and withdrew in favour of Alexander Fergusson of Craigdarroch, who was also unsuccessful. Queensberry's candidate William Douglas took the seat.

Johnstone tried again at the 1784 general election.  The 4th Duke of Queensberry lived in England and was unpopular in the area, and Johnstone won the seat in a 4-way contest, with the support of two of the five burghs.

He took an independent line in Parliament, voting unpredictably. He supported Parliamentary reform and  abolition of the slave trade, opposed the penal laws, and protested the tax burden on the poor. He supported the impeachment of Warren Hastings and of Elijah Impey, proclaiming in Impey's case that: "We have beheaded a King, we have hanged a peer, we have shot an admiral, we are now trying a governor-general, and I can see no reason why we should not put on his trial a judge and a chief justice".

His independence was less appreciated in Scotland, where he denounced the Scottish legal system, and twice opposed reform of Scottish seats despite petitions in favour of reform from the Dumfries Burghs.  At the 1790 general election, he faced a strong challenge from Queensberry's interest, who spent over £8,000, while Johnstone spent over £12,000 (equivalent to £ in ). Corruption was rampant, and despite out-spending his opponent, Johnstone won only 2 of the five burghs.

However Johnstone's younger brother William had inherited a large fortune from his wife's family. He became one of the richest commoners in the empire and changed his name to William Pulteney. In 1790 he bought control of the four-seat borough of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, adding to his interest in other boroughs.

To provide a seat for James, William asked Thomas Tyrwhitt Jones to vacate his seat at Weymouth, and at a by-election in 1791 James was returned in his place. He held the seat until his death, when William Pulteney succeeded to the baronetcy.

title: The Allen Brothers (Australia)

text:
The Allen Brothers were an Australian cabaret act of Peter Allen and singer and guitarist Chris Bell. Allen was then Peter Woolnough, when at the age of fifteen he met Chris Bell, part of a singing duo, The Two Shades. When the other member of The Two Shades departed it was Bell's father who picked the name Allen Brothers for Chris and Peter. They also sang with the Barry Sisters, an Australian group unrelated to the American Barry Sisters. The duo broke up at the same time as Allen's marriage to Liza Minnelli and Chris Bell went to America and formed a touring band called Boomerang in the 70's  .

Musical Duo

Formation (1959-1960)
Upon their formation in 1959, Chris Bell and Peter Allen began performing folk-pop as the Allen Brothers in nightclubs in Surfers Paradise and the wider Gold Coast region. It was in the same year that they made their professional debut as a musical duo with a paid performance at the Grand Hotel in Coolangatta. The duo also performed on show Teen Time in 1959 which marked their first ever television performance. The duo relocated from the Gold Coast to Sydney in 1960 in search of more opportunities. It was in Sydney that they were scouted by Brian Henderson, who was the host of Bandstand, an Australian pop television show. Henderson made the Allen Brothers a regular act on the show, gaining them national popularity and providing networking opportunities such as their future close working relationship with Olivia Newton-John.

Musical Releases (1960)
The first official song released by The Allen Brothers was in 1960 and was titled ‘First Kiss.’ This release was recognised by musical producer Johnny O’Keefe, who signed the duo on a contract with label Leedon.  With this label, The Allen Brothers released four singles: ‘Bells Bells Bells’ / ‘Summer Clouds’ / ‘There’s No Need’ / ‘Busy Lips.’ After their contract with Leeds, the duo moved to Australian label Pye and recorded another four singles: ‘Pretty Keen Teen’ / ‘My Secret’ / ‘Too Much’ / ‘Ever Since’ and a collaboration with The Barry Sisters on the single ‘Knocking on the Right Front Door.’ The only single that had a chart entry in Australia was ‘First Kiss’ which entered Melbourne at number 32.

Musical Releases (1961-1962)
In 1961, The Allen Brothers switched labels again and signed a contract with HMV. In December 1961, they released the singles ‘No Fooling’ and ‘Be An Angel Darling.’ Two months later, they released the singles ‘Baby Loves Me’ and ‘Firefly.’ Lastly, they released ‘There’s Never Been a Girl Like You’ and ‘Ain’t Misbehaving’ in August 1962.

Performances and relocation (1962-1969)
During this period, The Allen Brothers had notable performances such as a role in an Alice In Wonderland production at the Phillip Theatre. Moreover, the duo played a regular support role for the American performer Frances Faye at a Sydney nightclub called Chequers. They gained enough popularity to book a three-week nightclub tour act in Tokyo. The performance was received so well that the tour was extended, and the Allen Brothers remained on tour in south-east Asia for two years. During their performance at the Hilton in Hong Kong, The Allen Brothers were spotted by international superstar Judy Garland who subsequently became their permanent manager and allowed them to open for her in her London concerts.

The connection with Garland provided The Allen Brothers with an opening into the American music industry. In the 1960s, the duo moved to New York City and supported Garland in performances across America and Canada. Throughout the decade, they performed across famous clubs, made television appearances and recorded an album. Peter Allen met Garland's daughter Liza Minnelli. They married on March 3, 1967, but were separated by the end of 1969.

Solo Careers
The Allen Brothers ultimately split in early 1970 due to Bell's desire to branch out musically in to the Broadway scene. Whereas Chris Bell quit the music industry after the duo split, Peter Allen went on to have an extensive solo career.

title: Male accessory gland infection

text:
Male accessory gland infection (MAGI) is a condition with signs of inflammation involving one or more sites in the male genital tract. Diagnosis is made according to parameters defined by the World Health Organization, and it is particularly made in relation to infectious or inflammatory causes of male infertility.

Although it is usually caused by infection spreading from the urethra, non-infectious causes also exist.

Definition
Along with testicles (orchitis), MAGI includes infections (bacterial, viral, fungal etc.) involving one or more of the following male genital organs or tracts:
 epididymis (epididymitis)
 vas deferens
 seminal vesicles (seminal vesiculitis)
 prostate gland (prostatitis)
 Cowper's glands
 urethra (urethritis)

Diagnosis
As infection has a negative impact on the secretory function of the accessory glands, findings that could indicate the presence of MAGI include:
 signs of inflammation in a semen analysis (leukocytes ≥ 1x106/mL and/or elastase ≥ 230 ng/mL)
 low semen volume
 elevated semen pH
 low levels of alpha-glucosidase, fructose and zinc

WHO criteria

MAGI can be diagnosed when there are two or more factors present that meet criteria defined by the World Health Organization (WHO):

Biomarkers

One study has proposed that elevated levels of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (SuPAR) in seminal plasma might be useful as a marker for MAGI.

Causes
The main infectious agents are Enterobacteriaceae (such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella), Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Chlamydia trachomatis.

One study has shown that men with MAGI who have lower serum levels of total testosterone tend to have a more complicated form of MAGI, such as involving more than one site, than those with normal levels.

Complications
Potential complications include:
 obstruction of the epididymis
 impairment of spermatogenesis
 impairmentment of sperm function
 induction of sperm auto-antibodies
 dysfunctions of the male accessory glands

These complications can result in
sexual dysfunction and male subfertility.

title: Hermitage-Vyborg Center

text:
The Hermitage-Vyborg Center is an external branch of the Saint Petersburg based Hermitage Museum in the Karelian town of Vyborg. The museum was opened in 2010. Hermitage-Vyborg Center is located in the Vyborg Art Museum and Drawing School building (1930), which was designed by the Finnish architect Uno Ullberg.

History
Vyborg Art Museum and Drawing School was built in 1929–1930 when the town was a part of Finland. The classicism and functionalism style building is located on top of the 16th-century Panzerlachs Bastion, which was one of the fortifications of the Vyborg town wall. Like Alvar Aalto's famous Vyborg Library, it is another remarkable piece of Finnish-era modern architecture in Vyborg.

The Vyborg Art Museum and Drawing School were founded by the Vyborg Art Society () (established in 1890). The museum had a large collection of Finnish and European art as well as works of various Russian masters. Vyborg was the second largest city in Finland and the Vyborg Art Museum was considered the country's second-most significant art museum, next to the Ateneum in Helsinki. It was severely damaged during World War II and the collections were relocated to several Finnish art museums. After the war, Vyborg became a part of the Soviet Union and the building was renovated for administrative use.

The latest renovations took place in the early 2000s. A children's art school was opened in 2003 and the Hermitage-Vyborg Center project was launched in November 2007. The branch museum was finally opened in June 2010.

Fred Mossler (born July 2, 1966 in San Francisco, CA) is a business executive, fashion guru, and philanthropist. He is best known as a former high-ranking executive at online shoe retailer Zappos, where he played a significant role in the company’s growth, as well as being the founder of Las Vegas-centric investment fund Honus Capital, LLC and co-founder of luxury fashion brand Ross and Snow.

Business
After graduating with a business degree from Southern Oregon University in 1990, Mossler moved to Seattle and joined Nordstrom in 1991. He spent the next eight years at Nordstrom, living in Sacramento, Hawaii, and San Francisco.

In 1999, while working for Nordstrom in San Francisco, Mossler was contacted by Zappos founder Nick Swinmurn to join his new company, then known as ShoeSite.com. Initially the Senior Vice President of Merchandising at Zappos, Mossler’s responsibilities expanded to overseeing a variety of departments, including the Customer Loyalty Team, Human Resources, Recruiting, Benefits, and Marketing. His wide range of duties led to his official position with the company to be known as “No Title”.  During Fred Mossler's tenure at Zappos, the company abolished its traditional hierarchy and adopted holacracy.

In April 2016, Mossler announced his departure from Zappos after nearly 17 years at the company, citing his desire to pursue full-time entrepreneurship. In the email announcing his departure, Mossler stated that he would remain with the company until June 3, 2016, to aid with the transition, and would remain in Las Vegas to focus on several projects in the area, including the Downtown Project (a downtown revitalization project started by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh), Mexican restaurant chain Nacho Daddy, area cultural festival Life is Beautiful and “close air support” training company Blue Air Training. The latter was recently named among recipients of $6.4 Billion in government contracts to increase virtual technology in "realistic flight training."
As co-founder of Nacho Daddy, Mossler has overseen the growth of the chain to three Las Vegas-area locations, and has made a food-donation program central to the restaurant's ethos: via the "Buy One, Give One" program, the chain has donated over 110,000 meals to local Vegas-area foodbank Three Square. In addition, as a partner in the Downtown Las Vegas music festival, Life is Beautiful, he has helped oversee the festival's growth into one of the regions most important arts events, with over 100,000 attendees in 2016 and music stars from an international roster of Platinum acts performing on stage (Stevie Wonder, Duran Duran, Snoop Dogg, Imagine Dragon).

On March 24, 2017, Footwear Daily reported that Mossler would be launching a footwear brand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Former Zappos executives, Fred Mossler and Meghan Mossler founded Ross & Snow, a luxury fashion brand with its factories being shared with couture brands in Italy.

As of March 21, 2018, Mossler has joined with partners Tony Hsieh, Cory Harwell and Keith Glynn to form Eleven Hospitality Group, an entity created to take popular Downtown Las Vegas restaurant Carson Kitchen from a local favorite to a national brand. A letter of intent has already been signed to open an Atlanta location.

Mossler and his partners have also been involved in the creation of and investment in Discount Italian Shoes, offering Italian fashion brands at lower price points to international consumers.

Philanthropy
Mossler serves as an honorary director of the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation, an organization that provides disadvantaged children and children in crisis with new shoes and socks. He holds a role on the Finance Committee of the Two Ten Footwear Foundation, which offers financial assistance, counseling, community resources, and scholarships to those working in the footwear industry. In this role he recently helped the foundation raise over $4 million at their 2019 gala. In addition, Mossler was involved with the Movember Foundation, a charity raising funds for promoting and researching men’s health.

Community involvement and other ventures
Mossler has participated in the TED conference series, presenting a TEDx talk in Las Vegas titled “Flourishing Communities: Live, Work, and Play” that outlines the transformation of a previously unused area of downtown Las Vegas into a cultural and economic hotspot.

He is on the board of the Downtown Project, a $350 million revitalization project in downtown Las Vegas. In addition to real estate, the project also invests in small businesses, arts and culture, education, healthcare, and tech startups. Tech investments are handled through the Downtown Project’s tech investment arm, VegasTechFund, in which Mossler holds the title of Limited Partner.

Mossler is an investor in Silver State Production Services, a Las Vegas-based film production company that has worked on projects such as Looking Glass (2017) and The Hangover Part III. He is also an executive producer on the movie Viena and the Fantomes released in 2020.

Mossler contributed to Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh’s book, Delivering Happiness, discussing how Zappos approaches vendor relationships. The book reached #1 on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.

In 2012, Mossler founded Honus Capital LLC, a hands-on investment fund for Las Vegas-area entrepreneurs.

In May 2017, Mossler became an active member of the Board of Directors of LivePerson, a mobile and online messaging and analytics solutions provider. As the company enters a growth and expansion phase, Mossler is expected to provide digital sales and growth strategy expertise.

In August 2019, Mossler and his wife were feature in Footwear News magazine as "local guides" to their home, Las Vegas, offering their recommendation for "go-to Vegas hangs." Mossler was also in attendance this same month at the FN Platform, a gathering for Footwear Industry "power players."

In October, 2019, Mossler was included in a team of expert judges to ascertain the "Startup of the Year," choosing re:3D for their advancements in the 3D market. In October 2020, Mossler joined The Board of Trustees for his alma mater, Southern Oregon University where he serves on the Development Committee.

title: Loyalist Man

text:
The Loyalist Man is an iconic sign located near the Reversing Falls in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The figure was conceived of by Jim Stackhouse and painted by Ron Howard. It represents a Loyalist soldier from the American Revolution, as many of Saint John's early settlers were Loyalists. The sign was first displayed in the 1950s though it has been taken out of use on occasion. It was originally created to encourage residents to shop at local stores. In 2005 the city replaced it with a "generic explorer figure" in an attempt to refurbish the city's image but it eventually returned. In 2014 the sign was removed temporarily for repairs after it lost a leg. The City of Saint John has used the image on other signs, pins and various marketing materials over the years. Loyalist Man was also featured as a superheroic character in the Interaction School of Performing Arts' The Saint John History Mystery, as portrayed by Elijah Wilcott.

The Australian Volunteers for International Development (AVID) program is an initiative of the Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The AVID program provides Australians with the opportunity to share their skills and establish connections with individuals and organizations in developing countries, as part of Australia's overseas aid initiative. This program is administered by three Core Partners on behalf of the Australian Government: Scope Global (formerly known as Austraining International), Australian Volunteers International, and the Australian Red Cross. Volunteers in the program come from diverse backgrounds, spanning ages 18 to 80, and they contribute various professional expertise. This diversity allows them to engage in a range of activities, such as assisting in the establishment of medical clinics for safe childbirth, constructing resilient homes to withstand cyclones, and supporting children with disabilities in accessing education.

The AVID program connects volunteers with Host Organizations (HOs) in regions like Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. These HOs encompass a wide range of entities, including government departments, international agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) at various levels (local, national, and international), educational institutions, research institutes, and private companies. Each assignment is aligned with the priorities of the Australian Government and is tailored to meet the specific needs of the host country. Additionally, the AVID program collaborates with Australian Partner Organizations (APOs) to facilitate and support Australian volunteer assignments. APOs, which comprise Australian government departments, NGOs, educational institutions, and private companies, aim to establish connections with development-focused organizations in Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. For instance, APOs collaborate with HOs to create volunteer assignment proposals, promote opportunities to potential volunteers, and offer guidance and assistance to volunteers during their assignments. It's important to note that HOs can submit assignments to the AVID program independently of APOs.

title: Ergatoid

text:
An ergatoid (from Greek ergat-, "worker" + -oid, "like") is a permanently wingless reproductive adult ant or termite. The similar but somewhat ambiguous term ergatogyne refers to any intermediate form between workers and standard gynes. Ergatoid queens are distinct from other ergatogyne individuals in that they are morphologically consistent within a species and are always capable of mating, whereas inter caste individuals, another class of ergatogynes, often are not. Ergatoids can exhibit wide morphological differences between species, sometimes appearing almost identical to normal workers and other times being quite distinct from both workers and standard queens. In addition to morphological features, ergatoids among different species can exhibit a wide range of behaviors, with some ergatoids acting only as reproductives and others actively foraging. Ergatoid queens have developed among a large number of ant species, and their presence within colonies can often provide clues on the social structures of colonies and as to how new colonies are founded. Without wings, almost all species of ants that solely produce ergatoid queens establish new colonies by fission.

Nomenclature
The term ergatoid has been used to denote wingless reproductive ants since Margaret Holliday's 1903 paper, "A study of a few ergatogynic ants", although its current usage was suggested and more completely defined in the 1991 paper, "Ergatoid queens and intercastes in ants: two distinct adult forms which look morphologically intermediate between workers and winged queens", by C.P. Peeters. The paper, "Intercastes, intermorphs, and ergatoid queens: who is who in ant reproduction?" provided further definition and discussion of how certain "intermorphic queens" should be denoted in 1998.

Morphology
The defining morphological features of all ergatoids include functional reproductive organs, which include spermathecae and numerous ovarioles in females and a lack of wings at any point in their life history. Whereas standard queens shed their wings after mating, ergatoids never develop wings, and thus, they must disperse on foot. Other than these key, defining traits, ergatoid queen morphology can vary widely among species. Some species' ergatoids look quite similar to workers of the species, whereas other species' ergatoids can exhibit extreme morphologies that make them highly distinct.

Variation among species
Ergatoid morphology can vary greatly among different species, even within the same genus. For example, one paper found that the ergatoid queens of Megalomyrmex foreli are distinct from workers, with an enlarged gaster, while the ergatoid queens of closely related Megalomyrmex wallacei are very similar in size to their workers. Army ant ergatoids are much larger than workers, with large gasters that help them to maintain millions of ants that can make up army ant colonies. The ergatoid queens of the species Blepharidatta conops are quite morphologically distinct as well, with an enlarged head used to wall off the nest entrance in the case of invasion by predators.

Ergatoid males
The species Cardiocondyla obscurior produces both regular, winged males and ergatoid males. In addition to the loss of wings, male C. obscurior have altered eye structure and pigmentation, larger bodies, and lifelong spermatogensis. In addition to their morphological changes, male C. obscurior ergatoids exhibit high levels of aggression toward each other, so much so that they've been dubbed local fighter ants. Similar morphology and behavior has been noted in Cardiocondyla nuda, which only produces ergatoid males.

Behavior
As with morphology, ergatoid behavior varies greatly among species. In many species, ergatoids are quite numerous, and un-mated ergatoids exhibit the same foraging behaviors that workers do. In other species, such as the army ant species, ergatoids live solely to reproduce. Colony formation behavior in most ergatoid queens is starkly different than in most winged queens.

Colony formation
Without wings, ergatoid queens founding new colonies disperse on foot. In the vast majority ergatoid-producing species, new colonies are founded by fission when a mated ergatoid and a group of workers disperse to a new nesting site; this is commonly known as dependent colony formation, or DCF. Only 3 species' ergatoid queens, all from the genus Pogonomyrmex (harvester ants), have been shown to practice independent colony formation, or ICF.

Evolution
The production of ergatoid queens has developed across at least 16 subfamilies and 55 genera. It has been suggested that this convergent evolution toward ergatoids stems from the DCF behavior that most ergatoid-producing species exhibit. It has also been suggested that the production of ergatoid queens is advantageous as it is less costly, and ergatoid queens may have higher survival rates than winged, independent colony forming queens.

The 1978 United States Senate election in Montana took place on November 7, 1978. Following the death of United States Senator Lee Metcalf on January 12, 1978, Montana Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul G. Hatfield was appointed to serve for the remainder of Metcalf's term. Hatfield opted to run for a full term, but was overwhelmingly defeated in the Democratic primary by U.S. Representative Max Baucus of the 1st congressional district. Baucus advanced to the general election, where he was opposed by the Republican nominee, author Larry R. Williams. Baucus ended up defeating Williams by a solid margin to win his first term in the Senate, and, following Hatfield's resignation on December 12, 1978, he began serving his first term in the Senate.

Despite the death of Metcalf, this was not a special election, as one for the year 1978 was already planned as a normal Senate election.

title: Ultrafast electron diffraction

text:
Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED), also known as femtosecond electron diffraction (FED), is a pump-probe experimental method based on the combination of optical pump-probe spectroscopy and electron diffraction.  UED provides information on the dynamical changes of the structure of materials. It is very similar to time resolved crystallography, but instead of using X-rays as the probe, it uses electrons. In the UED technique, a femtosecond (fs) laser optical pulse excites (pumps) a sample into an excited, usually non-equilibrium, state. The pump pulse may induce chemical, electronic or structural  transitions.  After a finite time interval, a fs electron pulse is incident upon the sample.  The electron pulse undergoes diffraction as a result of interacting with the sample.  The diffraction signal is, subsequently, detected by an electron counting instrument such as a CCD camera. Specifically, after the electron pulse diffracts from the sample, the scattered electrons will form a diffraction pattern (image) on a CCD camera.  This pattern contains structural information about the sample. By adjusting the time difference between the arrival (at the sample) of the pump and probe beams, one can obtain a series of diffraction patterns as a function of the various time differences.  The diffraction data series can be concatenated in order to produce a motion picture of the changes that occurred in the data. UED can provide a wealth of dynamics on charge carriers, atoms, and molecules.

History
The design of early ultrafast electron diffraction instruments was based on x-ray streak cameras, the first reported UED experiment demonstrating an electron pulse length of 100 ps.

Electron Pulse Production
The electron pulses are typically produced by the process of photoemission in which a fs optical pulse is directed toward a photocathode.  If the incident laser pulse has an appropriate energy, electrons will be ejected from the photocathode through a process known as photoemission. The electrons are subsequently accelerated to high energies, ranging from tens of kiloelectron-volts to several megaelectron-volts, using an electron gun.

Electron Pulse Compression
Generally, two methods are used in order to compress electron pulses in order to overcome pulsewidth expansion due to Coulomb repulsion.  Generating high-flux ultrashort electron beams has been relatively straightforward, but pulse duration below a picosecond proved extremely difficult due to space-charge effects. Space-charge interactions increase in severity with bunch charge and rapidly act to broaden the pulse duration, which has resulted in an apparently unavoidable trade-off between signal (bunch charge) and time-resolution in ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) experiments.  Radio-frequency (RF) compression has emerged has an leading method of reducing the pulse expansion in UED experiments, achieving temporal resolution well below 50 femtoseconds.
Shorter electron beams below 10 femtoseconds are ultimately required to probe the fastest dynamics
in solid state materials and observe gas phase molecular reactions.

Single shot

For studying irreversible process, a diffraction signal is obtained from a single electron bunch containing  or more particles.

Stroboscopic
When studying reversible process, especially weak signals caused by, e.g., thermal diffuse scattering, a diffraction pattern is accumulated from many electron bunches, as many as .

Resolution
The resolution of an ultrafast electron diffraction apparatus can be characterized both in space and in time. Spatial resolution comes in two distinct parts: real space and reciprocal space. Real space resolution is determined by the physical size of the electron probe on the sample. A smaller physical probe size can allow experiments on crystals that cannot feasibly be grown in large sizes.

High reciprocal space resolution allows for the detection of Bragg diffraction spots that correspond to long periodicity phenomena. It can be calculated with the following equation:
,
where  is the reciprocal space resolution,  is the Compton wavelength of the electrons,  is the normalized emittance of the electrons, and  is the size of the probe on the sample.

Temporal resolution is primarily a function of the bunch length of the electrons and the relative timing jitters between the pump and probe.

title: Al-Adab al-Mufrad

text:
Al-adab al-mufrad () is a topical book of hadiths collected by Muhammad al-Bukhari addressing the question of perfecting Muslim manners.

Description
The book has hadith about the manners of Islamic prophet Muhammad. It has 1,322 hadiths. This book is overshadowed by Imam al-Bukhari's other book, the classic collection of hadiths, al-Jami' al-Sahih.

Although al-Adab al-Mufrad was also a significant work of his, Imam al-Bukhari did not make it a requirement that the hadiths within al-Adab al-Mufrad meet the very strict and stringent conditions of authenticity which he laid down for his al-Jami' al-Sahih.  However, based on the writings of later scholars who explained, commented and/or traced and classified the chains of narration within al-Adab al-Mufrad, most of the narrations within it were ruled to be authentic or at the least sound.

title: Blake L. Sartini

text:
Blake L. Sartini (born January 16, 1959) is an American entrepreneur in the Nevada gaming and entertainment industry.

He is Chairman, President and CEO of Golden Entertainment, Inc., an owner and operator of distributed gaming, taverns and casinos based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It was formed in 2015 by the merger of Golden Gaming (founded in 2001 by Blake Sartini) and Lakes Entertainment. The Golden Entertainment, Inc. owns and operates gaming properties across two divisions – distributed gaming and resort and casino operations. Golden Entertainment, Inc. operates more than 12,000 gaming devices and over 30 table games in Nevada, Maryland and Montana. The company owns four casino properties, over 55 taverns and operates approximately 980 distributed gaming locations in Nevada, Maryland and Montana. In June 2017, Golden agreed to purchase American Casino & Entertainment Properties for $850 million, which would expand the company's casino portfolio by four: the Stratosphere Las Vegas, Arizona Charlie's Boulder, Arizona Charlie's Decatur, and the Aquarius Casino Resort. The transaction closed in October 2017 and Golden owns and operates eight casino-resort properties - seven in Nevada and one in Maryland. In March 2018, Sartini and Golden Entertainment announced plans for a $140 million renovation of the Stratosphere Las Vegas that will be completed in three phases. In January 2019, Golden Entertainment closed on its $190 million deal to acquire two Laughlin casinos, Colorado Belle and Edgewater.

Early life
Blake L. Sartini was born in Stockton, in the San Joaquin County of California. He is the son of Arthur Dennis Sartini and Sandra Louise Myers. He attended junior college in Stockton, and in 1964, when Blake was 5 years old, Arthur took a job as the assistant executive director of the Las Vegas Housing Authority.

Education
Sartini attended Ed W. Clark High School, where he played football as a tight end and defensive end.
He enrolled in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and in 1982 earned his bachelor's degree in Business Administration.

Career

Gaming History

Sartini began his career as a craps dealer in a downtown Las Vegas hotel and casino.  Following, he worked in various management and executive management positions with several gaming and entertainment companies. His career included working on the Las Vegas strip at the Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino and ultimately joining Station Casinos Inc.,where he held the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Director.  He was one of the four founding members when it became a public entity in May 1993. Under Sartini’s leadership the company grew from one property with 2,000 team members and $150 million in revenue to eight casinos with 12,000 team members and $850 million in revenue.

Golden Gaming/Golden Entertainment

Throughout the 1990s Sartini served as president of the Station Casinos subsidiary Southwest Gaming Services, a slot route operator that he founded in 1985. In 2001, he acquired the company from Station Casinos and it became Golden Route Operations, a division of Golden Gaming, LLC.

In 2002, he formed the Golden Tavern Group subsidiary — now known as PT’s Entertainment Group — and acquired the PT’s chain of taverns. It is now the largest tavern operator in Nevada, with over 55 establishments including PT’s, Sean Patrick's Irish Pub & Grill, Sierra Gold and SG Bar.

The third division is the Golden Casino Group, which consists of the Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino, the Gold Town Casino and the Lakeside Casino and RV Park in Pahrump, Nevada and Rocky Gap Casino and Resort in Flintstone, Maryland.

The Gold Town and Lakeside Casino and RV Park were purchased as part of a larger deal in March 2012 with Affinity Gaming that made Golden Gaming the largest casino operator in Nye County, and also (through Affinity’s slot route business) the largest slot route operator in Nevada.
In January 2013, the Nevada Gaming Commission approved the issue of an interactive gaming license to Sartini Synergy Online, the interactive arm of Golden Gaming.

The company expanded into Montana in 2016, purchasing slot routes with 2,800 machines for a total of $45 million.

In June 2017, Golden agreed to purchase American Casino & Entertainment Properties for $850 million, which would expand the company's casino portfolio by four: the Stratosphere Las Vegas, Arizona Charlie's Boulder, Arizona Charlie's Decatur, and the Aquarius Casino Resort. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 and Golden will own and operate eight casino-resorts - seven in Nevada and one on Maryland.

In June 2017, Golden Entertainment was granted a gaming license by the Illinois Gaming Board to operate video gaming terminals at bars, restaurants, truck stops and fraternal and veterans organizations. This marked the fourth state Golden is licensed.

In October 2017, Golden Entertainment closed its $850 million purchase of American Casino & Entertainment Properties which expanded the company's casino portfolio by four: the Stratosphere Las Vegas, Arizona Charlie's Boulder, Arizona Charlie's Decatur, and the Aquarius Casino Resort.

In January 2019, Golden Entertainment closed its $190 million acquisition of Laughlin properties, Colorado Belle and Edgewater.

Sartini Enterprises and Service1st Bank

In addition to his gaming and entertainment interests, Sartini is also founder, chairman and CEO of Sartini Enterprises, Inc. a family investment company established in 2007.

In 2007, Sartini co-founded a startup bank called Service1st Bank of Nevada.

The bank was acquired in September 2009 by Global Consumer Acquisition Corp., which soon became Western Liberty Bancorp. Western Liberty in turn was purchased by Western Alliance, the parent company of Bank of Nevada, in August 2012.
As its largest shareholder, Sartini was also a board member of Service1st through its acquisition and took a director role after its acquisition, which he served through 2011.

title: New Port, South Australia

text:
New Port is a north-western suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It is located in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield.

History
In 2004, Premier of South Australia Mike Rann, announced the commencement of a major redevelopment of the Port Adelaide waterfront. With an estimated budget of $1.2 billion, the Newport Quays development was to include 2000 homes across six different precincts. At completion, the development was proposed to also include cafes, museums, public parks and various commercial properties. In 2007, the suburb of New Port was created from parts of the suburbs of Birkenhead, Ethelton, Glanville and Semaphore Park. The name "Newport Quays" had been requested but this was not supported by the relevant government authority. On 6 August 2009, the eastern boundary of the suburb was extended in part to the centre-line of the Port River.

By 2007, stage one of Newport Quays was complete, with stage two construction well underway. Ambitious new plans for stage three of the development were revealed in September 2007, including an apartment building constructed over the Port River. However, these plans never eventuated, and the New Port Quays development had ultimately been stalled.

Newport Quays received a lot of criticism from the local community for being unsympathetic to the local area and destroying local heritage. A state government established committee found many issues with plans for development stage 2B, including lack of open space, and exceeding of permitted building heights. In 2008, residents in New Port raised concerns that the new development was a "ghost town". The local council estimated that less than half of finished properties were occupied. Similarly, investors launched legal action as the resale value of properties in the developments had significantly dropped below the initial cost. No new developments took place in New Port following stage two. In 2011, Premier, Jay Weatherill officially cancelled the Newport Quays project. The state government was accused of shelving the project to win voters in a local by-election. The government indicated that it instead had planned to develop a new masterplan for the remaining vacant sites of the Newport Quays development.

Fletcher's Slip Development
Following eight years of stalled development, Renewal SA announced that the remaining land in New Port would be developed by Cedar Woods Properties. Under the proposal, Cedar Woods will construct up to 500 new townhomes and apartments across the north-west corner of New Port adjacent to Glanville railway station, and Fletcher's Slip, on the site of the former Holden factory.

Much like it's predecessor, the Fletcher's Slip development has not been without criticism. Members of the local community accused Cedar Woods of destroying local heritage that they had previously indicated would remain part of the development. A dilapitated warehouse on the north-west of the site, referred to as Shed 26, was demolished in 2019 after an extended protest campaign.

In July 2022, the first new residents moved into the first stage of the Fletcher's Slip development.

Geography
New Port is primarily bound by the Port River and the Outer Harbor railway line. The northern side of the suburb is bound by Semaphore Road and Nelson Street.

Demographics
The 2021 Australian census, by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, reported 647 persons in New Port on census night. Of these, 52.4% were male and 47.6% were female.

The majority of residents (66%) are of Australian birth, with other common census responses being England (9.4%), Malaysia (1.9%), New Zealand (1.7%), Vietnam (1.4%), and Northern Ireland (1.1%). Additionally, people of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent made up 0.8% of the suburb.

Politics

Local government
New Port is part of the Port Adelaide ward in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield local government area. The Port Adelaide ward is represented by Joost den Hartog and Steve Vines.

State and federal government
New Port is located in the federal division of Hindmarsh, and represented by Mark Butler. The suburb is also located in the state electoral district of Port Adelaide, which is represented by Susan Close.

Facilities
New Port is served by Lefevre Peninsula Primary School in nearby Birkenhead, and Lefevre High School in Semaphore South. In addition, Portside Christian College lies on the southern boundary of New Port, which enrols students from Kindergarten through to Year 12.

Supermarkets and other stores are available in the nearby suburbs of Port Adelaide and Semaphore.

Transport

Roads
New Port is serviced by Causeway Road to the west, and Semaphore Road to the north. No major roadways pass through the suburb itself.

Public Transport
New Port is well serviced by public transport, with both bus and train services nearby.

Bus
Adelaide Metro bus route 333 runs from Glanville Interchange in the morning and afternoon on weekdays, with services to Port Adelaide and North Haven.

Train

New Port lies on the boundary of the Outer Harbor line, and is serviced by two railway stations. Ethelton railway station lies adjacent to Karra Cove, whilst Glanville railway station lies adjacent to Torrens Avenue in the Fletcher's Slip development. Select services run express to Adelaide from Port Adelaide in the morning peak.

title: The Only Way (1970 film)

text:
The Only Way is a 1970 war drama film about the Rescue of the Danish Jews starring Jane Seymour.

Plot
In October, 1943 in occupied Denmark, the Nazis decide to deport the Danish Jews to extermination camps. However, the Danish people decide to prevent this. Lillian Stein is a Jewish ballet teacher, learns of the Nazi plan, but her father, a violin dealer,  refuses to leave. The Nazi roundup nets very few Jews, because most have gone into hiding, protected by the Danish resistance.  Soldiers break into the Steins apartment, but they are not there, as they are hiding upstairs in the apartment of their friend, Mr. Petersen. The Resistance plans on how to get the Jews out of the country by hiring fishing boats to take them to neutral Sweden. Petersen meets with various people in an effort to get the Steins out of the country. Stein leaves the apartment to try and sell a valuable violin he owns to get funds.  When Dr. Kjær comes to pick up the family, Mrs. Stein refuses to leave without her husband and sends Lillian on ahead. The Nazis return to Stein’s shop, but he again eludes capture. The next day when the couple are leaving Petersen’s apartment, Lars, Stein's assistant  gives his life to prevent their capture. After some narrow escapes both Lillian and her parents reach the evacuation point. They get in a small boat and reach Sweden.

title: Stephen L. Ross

text:
Stephen L. Ross (c. 1815 – January 4, 1891) was an American farmer and enslaver from Jacks Creek, Tennessee, who served two terms in the Tennessee State Senate and (very briefly) in the Tennessee House of Representatives.

Background
Ross was born in Tennessee about 1815, the son of one Hugh Ross, later to be an early settler in Jacks Creek; his exact date and place of birth, and the nature and extent of his education are not known. He became a farmer by profession.

Public office
Ross served as a Democratic member of the Senate during the 1857-58 session for the district including Henderson, Benton, Decatur, Humphreys, and Perry counties. He was elected once more to represent a district (the 18th) which no longer included Humphreys or Perry counties, but now did include Hardin, and McNairy counties. for the 1877-78 session. He was elected to the House for the 41st General Assembly in 1878 to represent Henderson County; while he took his place at January 1, 1879 opening of the session, he was granted an indefinite leave of absence because of illness on  January 9. He resigned, and his successor Lafayette McHaney was elected and installed in office by March 6, 1879.

According to his 1891 obituary, he introduced the bill in the legislature which created Chester County, Tennessee, of which his home town would become a part when it was created in 1882.

Personal life
Ross married a woman from Virginia named Eliza. Their oldest child, a daughter named Neden, was born around 1846; they would have four more children: John, Margaret, Hugh, and Alice. His place of burial is unknown. He died January 4, 1891, at his home.

title: Anthosachne sacandros

text:
Anthosachne sacandros is a species of true grass in the tribe Triticeae. It is endemic to the Richmond temperate forests of the Marlborough Region, New Zealand. It is a medium-size, tufted, perennial grass that is primarily coastal, but extends inland in some locations. It grows on limestone cliffs, bluffs and river terraces, from elevations of 0–900 m. It flowers from October–February, and fruits from December–May. It is distinguished from the related A. falcis by its erect growth form, long, thin, ribbed and glaucous leaf blades, and the dense hairs at the leaf blade–ligule junction. It is threatened by introduced species such as the common brushtail possum, and plants such as Lycium ferocissimum and Pinus contorta. Its isolated populations are also threatened by fire, floods and erosion.
