title: French submarine Amazone (Q161)

text:
Amazone (Q161) was a French Navy  commissioned in 1933. During World War II, she operated on the Allied side until 1940, when she became part of the naval forces of Vichy France. In 1942 she joined the Free French Naval Forces. She was stricken in 1946.

Construction and commissioning
Amazone was authorized in the 1927 program under the naval law of 19 December 1926. Her keel was laid down by Ateliers et Chantiers de la Seine-Maritime at Le Trait, France, on 22 August 1929. She was launched on 28 December 1931 and commissioned on 12 October 1933.

Service history

French Navy
When World War II began on 1 September 1939 with the German invasion of Poland, Amazone was part of the 16th Submarine Division — under the command of the 1st Maritime Prefecture at the Submarine Center — at Cherbourg along with her sister ships  , , and . France entered the war on the side of the Allies on 3 September 1939.

In 1940 the Allies made plans to intervene in Norway to prevent the shipment of iron ore from Sweden to Germany via Narvik on the Norwegian coast. Twelve French submarines were to participate in the operation, including the four submarines of the 16th Division, under the overall command of Royal Navy Vice Admiral Max Horton. Accordingly, all four submarines of the 16th Submarine Division got underway in company with the French Navy submarine tender  and proceeded to Harwich, England, where they arrived on 22 March 1940. At Harwich, they formed the 10th Flotilla under Horton's command. The four submarines patrolled in the North Sea off the coast of the Netherlands until 7 April 1940 without success.

On 8 April 1940 German U-boats began operations in accordance with Operationsbefehl Hartmut ("Operation Order Hartmut") in support of Operation Weserübung, the German invasion of Norway and Denmark. Allied operations related to Norway became of greater urgency when the German invasion of both countries began on 9 April 1940. As they took part in the Norwegian campaign, the French submarines found limited facilities available to them at Harwich and had to rely largely on Jules Verne and spare parts sent from Cherbourg in France for repairs, some of which never were completed.

By 6 May 1940 the Allies had indications that a German invasion of the Netherlands was imminent, and that day Horton ordered all available submarines to put to sea. The submarines of the 16th Submarine Division received orders to join four other French, four British, and two Polish Navy submarines in forming a patrol line in the North Sea off the coast of the Netherlands to find and attack German submarines believed to be operating in the area. On 9 May 1940 Amazone avoided torpedoes a German U-boat fired at her.

The Battle of France began when German ground forces advanced into France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg on 10 May 1940. At 23:57 on 11 May 1940, Amazone fired two torpedoes at a submarine she identified as a German U-boat in the North Sea off the coast of the Netherlands at . Both the German submarine  and the British submarine  reported that a submarine had attacked them in that area at that time, and it remains unclear whether Amazone targeted U-7 or was involved in a friendly fire incident with Shark.

On 25 May 1940, Jules Verne and the submarines of the 2nd, 13th, and 16th Submarine Divisions arrived in Dundee, Scotland. On 4 June 1940, Jules Verne and all the French submarines assigned to her departed Dundee and proceeded to Brest, France. Italy declared war on France on 10 June 1940 and joined the invasion. As German ground forces approached Brest on 18 June 1940, all French ships received orders at 18:00 to evacuate the port, with those unable to get underway ordered to scuttle themselves. At 18:30, Jules Verne and 13 submarines, including Amazone, got underway from Brest bound for Casablanca, French Morocco, which they reached on 23 June 1940.

The Battle of France ended in France's defeat and armistices with Germany on 22 June 1940 and with Italy on 24 June. When the two armistices both went into effect on 25 June 1940, Amazone was at Casablanca.

Vichy France

After France′s surrender, Amazone served in the naval forces of Vichy France. On 3 July 1940, the British began Operation Catapult, which sought to seize or neutralize the ships of the French Navy to prevent their use by the Axis Powers. The Royal Navy′s Force H arrived off the French naval base at Mers El Kébir near Oran in Algeria that day and demanded that the French Navy either turn over the ships based there to British custody or disable them. When the French refused, the British warships opened fire on the French ships in the harbor in the attack on Mers-el-Kébir. Concerned that the British might also attack the incomplete battleship  at Casablanca, French forces at Casablanca went on alert that day, and that evening Amazone and the submarines  and  put to sea to establish a standing submarine patrol along a  radius from Casablanca.

As of 23 October 1940, Amazone Antiope, Orphée, and Sibylle still constituted the 16th Submarine Division and were based in French Morocco. In 1941, Amazone was placed under guard in an unarmed and unfueled state in accordance with the June 1940 armistices. Subsequently reactivated, she was based at Dakar in Senegal in French West Africa by February 1942. As of 1 October 1942, she still was part of the 16th Submarine Division, which by then also included Amphitrite, Antiope, Sibylle, and the submarine . She received orders on 20 October 1942 to proceed with Convoy D-60 to Port-Etienne in Mauritania and make a port call there from 25 to 30 October 1942, but these orders were rescinded when the 16th Submarine Division was relieved in French West Africa and ordered to proceed to Casablanca.

During the night of 7–8 November 1942, the French naval commander at Casablanca received indications that an Allied invasion of French North Africa was imminent and took action to resist it. Operation Torch, the Allied amphibious landings in French Morocco and Algeria, began in the predawn hours of 8 November. That morning at 06:13, Amazone departed Casablanca bound for a patrol area in the Atlantic Ocean off French Morocco bearing between 200 degrees and 210 degrees from El Hank off Roches Noires. At around 10:00, with the Naval Battle of Casablanca raging between United States Navy and Vichy French forces, she unsuccessfully attacked the U.S. Navy light cruiser . Facing no counterattacks by U.S. forces, she returned to Casablanca, where she anchored in the outer harbor, then docked at the Delure pier to refuel.

On 9 November 1942 Amazone and Antiope got underway from Casablanca bound for Port-Etienne. While they were at sea, fighting between Allied and Vichy French forces in French North Africa ended on 11 November 1942. The two submarines arrived at Port-Etienne on 15 November 1942 for an overnight stop, then proceeded on 16 November to Dakar, which they reached without incident on 18 November 1942.

Free French Naval Forces

After the end of hostilities between French and Allied forces in French North Africa, Amazone and Antiope joined the Free French Naval Forces. They were reassigned to the 17th Submarine Division.

In 1943, Amazone was assigned to duty in support of the U.S. Navy sound school at Bermuda. Getting underway from Dakar, she made a stop at Bermuda from 26 to 28 February 1943, then proceeded to the Philadelphia Navy Yard on League Island in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she underwent an overhaul.

After the completion of her overhaul, Amazone departed the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 14 October 1943 and made for Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, arriving there on 16 October. She then headed for Bermuda, which she reached on 1 November 1943. Beginning her support to the sound school, she conducted exercises off Bermuda daily from 15 to 20 November, on 24 and 25 November, from 28 November to 1 December, on 3 and 4 December, from 6 to 9 December, from 20 to 25 December, and on 27 and 31 December 1943, and on 1, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, and 20 January, from 23 through 25 and from 27 through 29 January, from 1 to 3 February, and on 5 and 6 February 1944.

Amazone departed Bermuda on 12 February 1944 and headed for Key West, Florida, where she assumed duties with the U.S. Navy sound school there.  She later proceeded to the Philadelphia Navy Yard for a refit. With it complete, she departed Philadelphia on 7 October 1944 and headed for Naval Base New London, which she reached on 8 October. She ran aground on 15 October 1944 inside Fort Pond Bay at Montauk, Long Island, New York. She was refloated on 16 October and towed to Naval Submarine Base New London. She departed Groton on 21 October 1944 under tow by the U.S. Navy rescue tug  and arrived at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 23 October 1944 for repairs. After the completion of her repairs, Amazone got underway from Philadelphia on 7 December 1944 and proceeded to Key West, where she arrived on 12 December 1944 and resumed her duties with the sound school.

World War II ended in Europe on 8 May 1945. Amazone departed Key West on 12 July 1945 bound for Bermuda. She got underway from Bermuda on 7 August 1945 and, after a stop at Ponta Delgada in the Azores, headed for Casablanca. While she was at sea, World War II ended with the surrender of Japan on 15 August 1945. She arrived at Casablanca on 19 August 1945.

Final disposition

Amazone was stricken from the navy list and condemned on 26 April 1946.

title: Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard

text:
The Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard (Abronia anzuetoi), also known commonly as Anzueto's arboreal alligator lizard,  is a species of lizard in the family Anguidae. The species is endemic to Volcán de Agua in Guatemala.

Etymology
The specific name, anzuetoi is in honor of Guatemalan naturalist Roderico Anzueto, who collected the holotype.

Conservation status
The extent of occurrence of A. anzuetoi is approximately 24 km2 (9.3 mi2), and thus the species is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. Anthropogenic impact is minimized by the fact that its native habitat has many landmines, and surrounding coffee plantations have been abandoned.

Habitat
A. anzuetoi is found at elevations from  on Volcán de Agua, inhabiting cloud forests on the mountain.

Behaviour
A. anzuetoi is a diurnal tree-dwelling lizard. Dominant males exhibit territorial behaviour.

Reproduction
A. anzuetoi is viviparous.

title: Mighty Oaks (band)

text:
Mighty Oaks are an indie/folk rock trio made up of Ian Hooper (US), Claudio Donzelli (Italy) and Craig Saunders (UK).  They formed in 2010 and are based in Berlin. According to Allmusic, the group releases "tight, three-part harmonies and effusive, largely acoustic-driven folk anthems." In early 2014 they released their first LP, Howl, on Universal Records. The album peaked at No. 10 on the Official German charts with several singles charting as well. They have since released a second LP, Dreamers (2017), and an EP, Storm (2017). On the 7th of February 2020, they released their third full-length album, All Things Go.

History

2010–12: Founding, first EPs

Mighty Oaks was formed in early 2010 by instrumentalists and vocalists Ian Hooper (United States), Claudio Donzelli (Italy), and Craig Saunders (United Kingdom). Hooper had moved to Hamburg after college some time before, and had befriended bassist Saunders when both were working on solo material as singer-songwriters. Several months later they met Donzelli at a small acoustic festival, and kept in touch afterwards. All three members had an interest in indie rock and folk rock, and together began focusing on guitar and instruments such as mandolin. The group self-released an EP on March 21, 2011, recording it themselves in Donzelli's apartment. Though never officially released on a label, the EP garnered several hundred thousand hits on SoundCloud.

2012–14: Studio releases
The group began focusing fully on their music in the middle of 2012, beginning to record in a studio. In the summer of 2012 they self-released their first studio EP, Just One Day, distributed through Rough Trade Records. In support of the EP they toured with Shout Out Louds in Europe, opened the Waldbühne in Berlin for Kings of Leon, and joined bands such as Chvrches on the 'Introducing!' tour of Germany put on by Intro Magazine. The band later played a sold-out tour of Switzerland, Austria, and Germany in the fall of 2013.

2014–2019: Howl and Dreamers

In early 2014 they released their first LP, Howl, on Universal Records in Europe. The album peaked at No. 10 on the German chart, with several singles charting as well. It reached the top 10 on the charts in Switzerland, also charting in several other European countries. In early 2014 the band released the single "Brother," releasing a music video which was filmed in Washington state. The band stated that "‘Brother’ is based on Ian’s relationship with his best friend in the States, and their adventures and maturation in the...Pacific Northwest of America." They released the EP Brother in the United States in October 2014. About the EP, the band explained that "each song represents a different excerpt from a point in Ian’s life and, in such, we treated each track as a different scene in a movie, or chapter in a novel, hoping that each one would carry its own meaning and be surrounded by its own world and emotion."

Major festival performances from 2014 included events such as the Melt! Festival and Dockville in Germany, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Latitude Festival in the UK, Slotsfjell in Norway, Way Out West in Sweden, Exit Festival in Serbia,  and Valkhof (NL). As of December 2014 the group was touring Europe on The Golden Road Tour. Their debut album was released in the United States in the spring of 2015 and the band played festivals like SXSW in Austin, Texas in support of the release and went on a US tour to perform together with Milky Chance.

2016 was a year of turning points and upheavals, also for the band whose members took a break after two years of uninterrupted touring and left Berlin to temporarily return to their home countries. They all reunited in Washington State, not far from Ian's hometown, where the band retreated to the studio of producer Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Vance Joy, etc.). It was there that they recorded Dreamers, their second album, which was released on March 24, 2017 on Universal Music. The band went on a sold-out Europe tour in spring, a North American tour in September and a follow-up European tour in November and December 2017. Just before the band started off for their winter tour, they self-released a 4-track EP called Storm.

In the summer of 2018 they played several European festivals, among them Hurricane Festival and Southside Festival, Traumzeit Festival, Zermatt Unplugged and a Milky Chance & Friends Open Air in Berlin.

According to their Instagram page the band has retreated to the studio in autumn 2018 to work on new music.

2020–present: All Things Go
The band's third studio album, All Things Go, was released on February 7, 2020, via BMG.
Their fourth studio album, Mexico, was released on May 7, 2021, via Sony Music.

Style and influences

According to Allmusic, the group releases "tight, three-part harmonies and effusive, largely acoustic-driven folk anthems." The band's lyrics are mostly autobiographical, often focusing on themes such as nature, family, friendship, love, loss, and beauty. Songs periodically reference the Pacific Northwest of North America, where Hooper is from. All members contribute to the songwriting process.

The brilliant arboreal alligator lizard (Abronia gaiophantasma) is a species of lizard endemic to Guatemala.

This species is restricted to the mountains of east-central Guatemala, from the Sierra de las Minas east to the Chilascó region. It occurs at elevations of 1,600–2,650 m, and can be found in pine–oak and cloud forests of lower montane wet forests. Its extent of occurrence is estimated at only 750 km2, and has been declared endangered. Threats to this species include habitat loss from agriculture, and the exportation of ornamental Chamaedaphne calyculata plants, conversion of habitats to pine plantations, and intentional fires. It can be found in protected areas such as Mario Dary Rivera Protected Biotope and Sierra de las Minas Biosphere Reserve.

title: Southern Railway Terminal (New Orleans)

text:
The Southern Railway Terminal, originally officially "New Orleans Terminal", in New Orleans  was constructed by the Southern Railway in 1908 on the neutral ground of Basin Street at the intersection of Canal Street.  The building was designed by Daniel Burnham, who was also the architect for the Union Station in Washington D.C. The station also served the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad and the New Orleans Terminal Company. It was the terminus for many of Southern's premier trains, most notably the Crescent. As such, it was the "front door" to New Orleans for many passengers from the Northeast for most of the first half of the 20th century.

From New Orleans, Southern provided service to the following areas:

 Northern Gateway (Cincinnati, Louisville and Washington D.C.)
 Western Gateway (Memphis and St. Louis)
 Ports (Baltimore, Brunswick, Charleston, Gulfport, Jacksonville, and Savannah)

The station was demolished in 1956 after all passenger service was relocated to the new Union Passenger Terminal. After station and tracks were removed the neutral ground was landscaped and the area was designated as the "Garden of the Americas."

title: Musim Mas

text:
Musim Mas Group operates globally in the palm oil industry, with a presence in 13 countries spanning Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and South America. The group owns a significant network of palm oil refineries and is involved in vegetable oil refining. Additionally, it manufactures consumer goods such as soap and cooking oil brands in Indonesia. With a workforce of 37,000 employees, Musim Mas is supported by an extensive logistics network consisting of chemical and coastal tankers, barges, tugboats, and bulk installations at major ports in Indonesia and other strategic locations worldwide.

Musim Mas holds the distinction of being the first company in Indonesia to achieve Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification. The group's Executive Chairman has also served on RSPO's inaugural executive board. Even before environmental protection gained widespread attention, Musim Mas championed sustainability and implemented green initiatives throughout its operations, as reported by Channel News Asia. In addition to its involvement in the palm oil industry, the group has diversified interests in real estate and owns the 4-star Mikie Holiday Resorts in Berastagi, North Sumatra.

A key focus of Musim Mas Group is sustainable palm oil production. The company takes proactive measures to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions by capturing methane gas, a highly toxic waste gas that is 34 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Musim Mas converts this gas into energy to power their mills and estates. All of Musim Mas' mills are equipped with methane capture facilities, also known as Biogas plants. In 2021, Musim Mas announced a partnership with AAK and Nestlé to address deforestation outside of plantation concession areas in Aceh, Indonesia. The partnership aims to engage approximately 1,000 independent oil palm smallholders within two years, enrolling them in Musim Mas' smallholders program supported by a Smallholders Hub.

Management
Musim Mas is a privately-owned company managed by the Karim brothers: Mr. Bachtiar Karim, Mr. Bahari Karim, and Mr. Burhan Karim.

Subsidiaries
Musim Mas distributes its products through its marketing arm, Inter-Continental Oil and Fats Pte. Ltd. (ICOF), which is based in Singapore. ICOF serves global markets and offers a wide range of tropical oils and derivative products.

A wholly owned subsidiary of the Musim Mas Group, Maschem B.V., has established an advanced Ethoxylation Facility at the Dow Benelux B.V. site in Terneuzen. This facility specializes in the production of surfactants, which are surface active agents derived from alcohols, oils, esters, fatty acids, and amines. These surfactants serve as essential raw materials in the manufacturing of personal care products and detergents.

title: Poudre City, Colorado

text:
Poudre City is a ghost town located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in northwestern Larimer County, Colorado, United States. The town was founded in 1890 around a gold reducing stamp mill. The town was destroyed on June 10, 1891 when the Chambers Lake dam burst and swept down the Poudre Canyon. All that remains of the town today is the chimney from the stamp mill.

History
In the late 1800s, it was suspected that there was gold in Larimer County and in the hills of the Poudre Canyon and many prospectors moved to the area. John Zimmerman built a 5 stamp gold reducing stamp mill in 1890 to process the ore being brought out of the area. A saloon, general store, hotel, and houses sprouted in the area surrounding the mill.

Shortly after the mill's construction, it was determined that the ore bore very little gold, and Zimmerman sold it to pursue other endeavors in the area.

In 1891, Zimmerman inspected the dam at Chamber's Lake and had determined it was severely undersized and likely to give way. He had corresponded with the Larimer County Ditch Company, the owner of the lake, and even had hosted the company's Chief Engineer, William Rist, but the dam was not corrected. On the morning of June 10, 1891, the dam gave way. Poudre City, being on the banks of the Poudre River, and directly downstream of Chamber's Lake was in a very vulnerable position.  Zimmerman had been out working the fields some 3 1/2 miles upstream that morning and heard the tell tale sounds of water rushing down the canyon. He rode into town to warn the residents to move to higher ground. The flood waters destroyed the entire town and left nothing behind save for the chimney of the stamp mill, which survives to this day.

In 1973, the Colorado State Historical Society placed a plaque at the base of the mill.

title: Cloonlara (horse)

text:
Cloonlara (28 April 1974 – 23 August 1981) was an American-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. Although she never contested a Group One race as a two-year-old, Cloonlara was regarded as the best juvenile filly to race in Europe in 1976. The daughter of Derby winner Sir Ivor won all three of her races that year by wide margins, culminating in a six length win over colts in the Phoenix Stakes. She missed the rest of the season through injury and failed to reproduce her best form in 1977, when she became increasingly temperamental. Cloonlara made a highly promising start to her breeding career before her death from a lightning strike at the age of seven in August 1981.

Background
Cloonlara was a bay filly bred in Kentucky by the Irish-based Lyonstown Stud. She was sired by Sir Ivor, an American-bred colt whose wins included The Derby and Washington, D.C. International in 1968. At stud he was best known as an exceptional sire of broodmares but also sired many good winners over a wide variety of distances and surfaces with his progeny including Ivanjica, Bates Motel, Sir Tristram and French Holly. Cloonlara's dam Fish Bar produced several other winners including the leading miler Kings Lake. Fish Bar was a granddaughter of the 1000 Guineas and St Leger Stakes winner Herringbone, whose other descendants included Moon Madness, Celtic Swing and Michelozzo. Racing in the colours of John Mulcahy, Cloonlara was sent to race in Ireland where she was trained by Vincent O'Brien at Ballydoyle. She was named after a village in County Clare.

Racing career

1976: two-year-old season
On her racecourse debut Cloonlara contested the Hurry-On Stakes over five furlongs at Phoenix Park Racecourse and won by five lengths from Success At Last and seven others. Only two horses appeared to oppose the filly when she was moved up in distance for the Probationers Stakes over six and a half furlongs at the Curragh Racecourse. Starting at odds of 1/10 she won by five lengths, emulating her sire, Sir Ivor, who won the same race in 1967. Cloonlara was then dropped back in distance, and moved up in class for the Group Two Phoenix Stakes over five furlongs on firm ground at Phoenix Park. She was made second favourite behind the colt Godswalk who had won the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot by four lengths. Cloonlara broke quickly, established a clear advantage, and was never seriously challenged, winning by six lengths from Godswalk with Ring Leader (who had won his previous race by ten lengths) in third place. The filly sustained an injury in the race and finished lame. Despite hopes that she might return for the Cheveley Park Stakes she did not race again in 1976.

1977: three-year-old season
On her debut as a three-year-old in April 1977, Cloonlara was sent to England for the 1000 Guineas Trial at Ascot Racecourse where the ground was so soft that the starting stalls could not be used and the race was started by flag. When the flag fell for the first time, Cloonlara, ridden by Lester Piggott, started well, but the runners were recalled after a false start was declared. On the second start, Cloonlara was standing side-on as the flag fell, lost approximately twenty yards and never recovered, finishing unplaced behind the French filly Sanedtki. The race reportedly provoked a "sharp exchange" between Piggott and the starter Dick Smalley. Despite her unfortunate experience at Ascot, Cloonlara was made 6/4 favourite for the 165th running of the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket Racecourse. She took the lead from the start but was strongly challenged by the 16/1 outsider Mrs McArdy two furlongs from the finish. When Piggott resorted to the whip, the filly's only response was to swish her tail in a "querulous" manner, and she finished the race in fourth place behind Mrs McArdy, Freeze The Secret and Sanedtki.

Attempts to return the filly to sprint distances in the Cork and Orrery Stakes at Royal Ascot in June proved unsuccessful as she threw Piggott off in the preliminaries and then refused to enter the starting stalls. In the Prix de la Porte Maillot over 1400 metres at Longchamp Racecourse later that month, she was more co-operative, consenting to start the race without giving any trouble. Starting at odds of 11/1 she appeared to have every chance in the straight but finished fourth of the eleven runners, two and three-quarter lengths behind the winner Polyponder.

Assessment
There was no International Classification of European two-year-olds in 1976: the official handicappers of Britain, Ireland and France compiled separate rankings for horses which competed in those countries. In the Irish Free Handicap Cloonlara was rated the best two-year-old of either sex, seven pounds superior to Godswalk, ten ahead of The Minstrel and thirteen ahead of Nebbiolo. The independent Timeform organisation gave her a rating of 130, making her the best two-year-old filly of the season, one pound behind their best two-year-old colt Blushing Groom and level with their highest-rated British juvenile J O Tobin. The veteran Irish trainer Paddy Prendergast regarded her as the best filly seen in Ireland for more than thirty years. In 1977, Cloonlara was given a rating of 117 by Timeform, sixteen pounds below their top-rated three-year-old filly Dunfermline. In the inaugural International Classification for three-year-olds she was given a rating of 80, ten pounds below the top fillies Dunfermline and Madelia.

In their book A Century of Champions, based on a modified version of the Timeform system, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Cloonlara the twenty-first best British or Irish-trained two-year-old filly of the 20th century.

Breeding record
Cloonlara was retired from racing to become a broodmare. She produced only three foals, all of whom won races:

Chivalry (bay colt, foaled in 1979, sired by Nijinsky), won one race in Ireland and one race in the United States
Glenstal (bay colt, 1980, by Northern Dancer), won three of his five races including the National Stakes and the Prix Daphnis and sired the 1000 Guineas winner Las Meninas.
Atlantic Salmon (brown gelding, 1981, by Lyphard), won two races in Ireland

Cloonlara was in foal to Northern Dancer, when she was killed by lightning in 1981.

title: Sax Pax for a Sax

text:
Sax Pax for a Sax is a collaboration album between the London Saxophonic and the blind musician, composer, and  performer Moondog.  The album was recorded in 1994 and released on November 28, 1997.  The album marks Moondog's re-emergence into the American jazz market.

Critical reception

The album was well received by the public and peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Albums. Entertainment Weekly magazine said the album was a "hypnotic blend of jazz and classical music," and gave it a B.

The music critic David D. Duncan says that the album "sounds like a nostalgic big band on laughing gas."

Another music critic Ian Koss said that the "music on Sax Pax for a Sax is bold assertive-even at its most demure the saxophone can't help its brassy nature-powerful without losing grace." He also explains "Increasingly larger groups of saxophones interplay in melodies that weave through kettledrum pillars in a way that is equal parts Philip Glass and Paul McCartney."

A review by John Murph for "JazzTimes" said "A stargazing composer, Moondog's penchant for crafting accessible, yet utterly otherworldly melodies bridges European classical forms with American jazz sensibilities."

title: Preclearance Authorization Act of 2014

text:
The Preclearance Authorization Act of 2014 () is a bill that would authorize the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish preclearance facilities, conduct preclearance operations, or provide customs services outside of the United States of America to prevent terrorists, terrorist instruments, and other national security threats from gaining access to the United States.

The bill was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress.

Background
Travelers who undergo the pre-clearance procedures at one of these facilities in a foreign airport do not have to go through U.S. customs upon their arrival in the United States.

Provisions of the bill
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.

The Preclearance Authorization Act of 2014 would authorize the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish preclearance facilities, conduct preclearance operations, or provide customs services outside of the United States of America to prevent terrorists, terrorist instruments, and other national security threats from gaining access to the United States.

The bill would declare such requirements shall not apply to any preclearance facility that was in operation outside of the United States before enactment of this Act.

The bill would declare that any preclearance facility located, preclearance operations conducted, or customs services provided at Abu Dhabi International Airport, Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai International Airport in the United Arab Emirates, or Doha International Airport in Qatar shall not be considered to have been in operation, conducted, or provided before enactment of this Act. Prohibits such facility, operations, or services from being established, conducted, or provided at any of such airports on or after such enactment.

The bill would require the Secretary, not later than 180 days before entering into any agreement to establish a preclearance facility, conduct preclearance operations, or provide customs services outside of the United States, to: (1) notify Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) of the intent to establish such facility, conduct such operations, or provide such services; as well as (2) assess any impacts on passengers traveling to the United States, or economic or security impacts on the United States.

Congressional Budget Office report
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security on June 11, 2014. This is a public domain source.

H.R. 3488 would authorize Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the United States Department of Homeland Security to establish preclearance (inspection) stations in foreign countries. CBP currently operates preclearance facilities in about a dozen locations, mostly in Canada. The bill would require the agency to notify the Congress before establishing preclearance stations in countries that currently have none. H.R. 3488 also would specify policies and requirements to ensure that aviation security screening performed at foreign airports engaged in preclearance operations meet U.S. standards.

CBP anticipates opening new preclearance stations over the next several years and can do so under current law, so we estimate that implementing the bill would not significantly affect agency spending. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) also expects that implementing the bill’s requirements related to aviation security would not significantly affect federal costs. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

H.R. 3488 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.

Procedural history
The Preclearance Authorization Act of 2014 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on November 14, 2013 by Rep. Patrick Meehan (R, PA-7). It was referred to the United States House Committee on Homeland Security, the United States House Committee on Ways and Means, and the United States House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security. On July 3, 2014, the bill was reported (amended) by the Committee on Homeland Security alongside House Report 113-511 part 1. The House was scheduled to vote on the bill on July 8, 2014, under a suspension of the rules.

Debate and discussion
Rep. Pat Meehan, who introduced the bill, indicated that the goal of the bill is to prevent the Customs Bureau from opening a pre-clearance facility at Abu Dhabi International Airport in the United Arab Emirates because one airline there currently flies to the United States. That airline is Etihad, a state-run airline, that supporters of the bill wish to avoid giving an unfair competitive advantage that might result from travelers flying on Etihad through that airport in order to take advantage of the chance to be pre-cleared, and opportunity passengers on other airlines would not have.

According to the American Association of Airport Executives, the bill is supported by the U.S. airline industry. The Air Line Pilots Association lobbied in favor of the bill.

title: Augustus Clissold

text:
Augustus Clissold (c. 1797–1882) was an English Anglican priest. He is known as a Swedenborgian, who was active in later life publishing his views.

Life
Born in or about 1797, the fifth son of Stephen Clissold (1764–1834) of Stonehouse, near Stroud, Gloucestershire, he had Stephen Clissold the writer as an elder brother. He matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford on 6 December 1814, the same day as his elder brother Henry. He took the ordinary B.A. degree on 19 November 1818, proceeding M.A. on 13 June 1821.

In 1821 Clissold was ordained deacon and in 1823 admitted to priest's orders by Thomas Burgess, Bishop of Salisbury. He held for some time the curacies of St Martin-in-the-Fields and St Mary, Stoke Newington.

Clissold became a follower of Emanuel Swedenborg and withdrew from the Anglican ministry about 1840, but remained nominally connected with the Church of England to the end of his life. He continued to reside in Stoke Newington. He died on 30 October 1882 at his country house, 4 Broadwater Down, Tunbridge Wells, in his 86th year.

Swedenborgian
The Swedenborg Association was started in 1845 for the publication of Swedenborg's scientific works, and merged after its task had been larger accomplished, with the larger Swedenborg Society. Clissold was chosen as President of the Association. In 1838 he joined the Swedenborg Society as a life member, and in the same year he was placed on the committee. In 1840 he chaired the annual meeting. In 1854 he purchased for the use of the society seventy years' lease of 36 Bloomsbury Street, London, which later became a distribution centre for "New Church" literature.

During the troubled time through which the Swedenborg Society passed in 1859–1860, Clissold supported it financially. He left it £4,000 in his will.

Works
Clissold translated and printed at his own expense Swedenborg's Principia Rerum Naturalium, 2 vols., London, 1845–1846, and Œconomia Regni Animalis (edited by J. J. Garth Wilkinson), 2 vols., London, 1846, both of which he gave to the Swedenborg Association. He was the author of the following:

The Practical Nature of the Doctrines and alleged Revelations contained in the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg … in a Letter to the Archbishop of Dublin (R. Whately), London, 1838 (2nd ed. as The Practical Nature of the Theological Writings, London, 1860 [1859])

Clissold also published a sermon preached on the death of the Rev. George Gaskin, London, 1829. In 1870 he busied himself with promoting the publication of the Documents concerning the Life and Character of Emanuel Swedenborg 2 vols. 1875–1877, based on originals collected, translated, and annotated by Johann Friedrich Immanuel Tafel. During the last two years of his life he assisted similarly in the publication of Swedenborg's posthumous work on The Brain, 1882, part of the Regnum Animale perlustratum.

Family
Clissold married Elizabeth Crawshay, daughter of William Crawshay, some time after the latter's death in 1834. They had no children. On the marriage, the Newington Park House estate passed to Clissold. It was renamed Clissold Park and the house Clissold House.

title: Vehicular Security Center

text:
The World Trade Center Vehicle Security Center and Tour Bus Parking Facility, or simply the Vehicular Security Center (VSC), is a secure complex for truck delivery and underground parking at the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York City. The entrance to the VSC is located at street-level along the southern edge of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum on Liberty Street. The VSC is connected via tunnels that feed the entire  WTC complex, linking the security checkpoint at its entrance with the buildings and services at the complex requiring vehicular services.

title: I due maghi del pallone

text:
I due maghi del pallone (The two wizards of the ball) is a 1970 Italian comedy film directed by Mariano Laurenti starring the comic duo Franco and Ciccio.

Plot summary
Ciccio Ingrassetti is the PR of a milanese pharmaceutical firm which is trying to promote its products through the football team of its sicilian branch. To guarantee success, the owner asks Ciccio to secure the talents of an innovative coach, a "magician" (just like Inter Milan coach Helenio Herrera was dubbed at the time). Ciccio, totally unaware of the subtleties of football (but wary to confess his ignorance of the matter to his boss) misinterprets his orders and hires K.K., an impostor 'clairvoyant' who actually tries to help the team through his 'spells'. Hijinks and mishaps soon ensue.

title: Hausdorff gap

text:
In mathematics, a Hausdorff gap consists roughly of two collections of sequences of integers, such that there is no sequence lying between the two collections. The first example was found by . The existence of Hausdorff gaps shows that the partially ordered set of possible growth rates of sequences is not complete.

Definition

Let  be the set of all sequences of non-negative integers, and define  to mean .

If  is a poset and  and  are cardinals, then a -pregap in  is a set of elements  for  and a set of elements  for  such that:
The transfinite sequence  is strictly increasing;
The transfinite sequence  is strictly decreasing;
Every element of the sequence  is less than every element of the sequence .

A pregap is called a gap if it satisfies the additional condition:

There is no element  greater than all elements of  and less than all elements of .

A Hausdorff gap is a -gap in  such that for every countable ordinal  and every natural number  there are only a finite number of  less than  such that for all  we have .

There are some variations of these definitions, with the ordered set  replaced by a similar set. For example, one can redefine  to mean  for all but finitely many . Another variation introduced by  is to replace  by the set of all subsets of , with the order given by  if  has only finitely many elements not in  but  has infinitely many elements not in .

Existence
It is possible to prove in ZFC that there exist Hausdorff gaps and -gaps where  is the cardinality of the smallest unbounded set in , and that there are no -gaps. The stronger open coloring axiom can rule out all types of gaps except Hausdorff gaps and those of type  with .

title: Epic E1000

text:
The Epic E1000 is an American single-engine, six-seat, turboprop light aircraft  developed by Epic Aircraft of Bend, Oregon.

The project's aim is that the E1000 will be the fastest single-engine civil aircraft at its time of introduction.

Design
A development of the kit-built Epic LT, the E1000 aircraft features a cantilever low-wing, a 6.5 psi pressurized cabin with an airstair door just ahead of the rear seats, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single  Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6-67A turboprop aircraft engine, de-rated to  engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft is predominantly made from carbon fiber and its  span wing mounts flaps and winglets.

The aircraft has a goal empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of  and a full-fuel payload of , allowing the fuel tanks and seats to all be filled.
Preliminary performance data shows a 325kt (600 km/h)  maximum airspeed, 1,650nmi (3,050 km) range, 45USgal/h fuel consumption at cruise altitude, and a 34,000 ft operating ceiling.

Development

In 2013, the E1000 was launched, intended to be a type certificated, upgraded Epic LT kit plane.
In 2014, Epic stopped selling the kit plane, the 54th and final one was delivered in the second quarter of 2019.

In February 2014, Epic had ten orders for the type and initial deliveries were targeted for the second half of 2015.
In early 2014, the design was forecast for its first flight in June 2015, with certification then expected later in 2015.
By October 2014, it had 60 orders and Epic targeted 50 sales per year.
In October 2014, the manufacturer introduced the interior design which includes features such as club seating, adjustable tray tables in the cabin sidewalls, pockets large enough to stow a tablet computer, USB power outlets, cup holders and light-emitting diode light switches. The Garmin G1000 navigation system will include a synthetic vision system.
It includes SPD-Smart Electronically Dimmable Window (EDW) Systems.

In 2015, certification slipped to 2016.
and the company forecast commencing deliveries in 2016, as well.

The E1000 first flew on 19 December 2015 and Epic reported "more than" 60 orders.
In May 2016, the first conforming prototype was under construction and certification was then expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016, with customer deliveries forecast for early 2017.

In October 2017, Epic reported 76 outstanding orders of the US$3.25M aircraft. The first prototype had accumulated 400 hours, while the production-conforming second prototype was nearing first flight.
Russian-owned Epic was hoping at that time to complete type certification in 2018.
The second prototype flew in January 2018.

In 2018, the company hoped to convert its 85 reservations into firm orders and planned a production capacity of 50 aircraft per year.
By 2018, the company had 250 employees, enough funds for certification and the initial production years. Eight to 12 aircraft are planned to be delivered in 2019, 24 in 2020, 36 in 2021 and 50 thereafter, with an ultimate market forecast of 80 to 90 units per year.
The fuselage was tested to 18 psi, nearly three times its normal 6.6 psi pressurization, while the wing was tested to , deflecting to .
By September 2018, after 700 hours of flight tests, Epic Aircraft maintained it would achieve its year-end type certification goal, with production certification following six months later.
By November 2018, the two prototypes had accumulated 800 hours and Epic expected US type inspection authorization in December for an early 2019 type certification and deliveries soon after, a two-year delay from earlier forecasts.
The final Epic LT kit plane was completed in June 2019.

In November 2019, the design was FAA type certificated after a seven-year development effort, with the two prototypes completing more than 1,000 hours of flight testing.
Initial customer deliveries against the existing 80 aircraft on order were planned before the end of 2019. After delays imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, in July 2020 the company received its FAA production certificate for the aircraft.

The first aircraft was delivered in February 2020 before being leased back to Epic to support engineering projects, and the second aircraft was delivered in May.
In 2023, its equipped price was $4.45M.

Operational history
In July 2020 the E1000 was named as the winner of Flying magazine's 2020 Innovation Award. Flying's Editor-in-Chief Julie Boatman, noted the aircraft's deliveries starting during the COVID-19 pandemic, "we’re really pleased to be in a position to award the 2020 Innovation Award to Epic Aircraft for the phenomenal job that you’ve done, not just bringing the aircraft to certification over a couple of decades, but also in the midst of everything that we’ve been going through over the last 4 months now, to continue pushing forward, to get those first deliveries out the door, and into the hands of some extremely happy pilots".

title: Branch coral

text:
The branch coral (Acropora florida) is a species of acroporid coral found in the southwest and northern Indian Ocean, the central Indo-Pacific, Australia, Southeast Asia, Japan and the East China Sea, Cook Islands and the oceanic west Pacific Ocean. It can be found in shallow reefs on the reef tops, walls and slopes to depths of 30 m.

Description
Colonies of Acropora florida consist of thick upright, and sometimes horizontal, branches growing from a sprawling or encrusting base. There are side branches and small branchlets which resemble knobs. The corallites are evenly spread. The colour of this coral varies, and may be pinkish-brown or some shade of green.

Biology
Acropora florida is a zooxanthellate species of coral. It obtains most of its nutritional needs from the symbiotic dinoflagellates that live inside its soft tissues. These photosynthetic organisms provide the coral with organic carbon and nitrogen, sometimes providing up to 90% of their host's energy needs for metabolism and growth. Its remaining needs are met by the planktonic organisms caught by the tentacles of the polyps.

Status
This coral is a common species and no species-specific threats have been identified. The main threats faced by corals in general are related to climate change and the mechanical destruction of their coral reef habitats; increasing damage from extreme weather events, rising sea water temperatures and ocean acidification. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the conservation status of this species as being "near threatened". All corals receive protection by being listed on CITES Appendix II.

It also occurs in the Raja Ampat Islands, Mariana Islands, Palau, and the Pitcairn Islands. Occurring in tropical shallow reefs on upper reef flats and slopes at depths of up to , it was described by Dana in 1846.

Description
The species is found in digitate colonies of thick tapering branches. The branches contain one or more axial corallites that are large and dome-shaped, and either incipient axial corallites or branchlets at their bases. Its radial corallites are found in two different diameters, the larger of which are organised in rows. It is mainly cream, blue, brown or purple in colour and the branches have cream or blue tips.

Distribution
It is classed as a Near Threatened species on the IUCN Red List and it is believed that its population is decreasing; the species is also listed under Appendix II of CITES. Figures of its population are unknown, but is likely to be threatened by the global reduction of coral reefs, the increase of temperature causing coral bleaching, climate change, human activity, the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) and disease. It occurs in the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, the northern and southwestern Indian Ocean, Australia, the central Indo-Pacific, Japan, southeast Asia, the East China Sea, the central and western Pacific Ocean, the Johnston Atoll and the northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It is present in the Raja Ampat Islands, Mariana Islands, Palau, and the Pitcairn Islands.

title: Zakkur

text:
Zakkur (or Zakir) was the ancient king of Hamath and Luhuti (also known as Nuhašše) in Syria. He ruled around 785 BC. Most of the information about him comes from his basalt stele, known as the Stele of Zakkur.

History
Irhuleni and his son Uratami were Kings of Hamath prior to Zakkur. Irhuleni led a coalition against the Assyrian expansion under Shalmaneser III. Their coalition succeeded in 853 BC in the Battle of Qarqar. Later Irhuleni maintained good relations with Assyria.

Not so much is known about the background of Zakkur. He is first mentioned in Assyrian sources probably in 785 BC, in the last years of Adad-nirari III. Adad-nirari ordered his commander Shamshi-ilu to mediate the border dispute between Zakkur and Atarshumki I of Arpad.

Zakkur appears to have been a native of 'Ana' (which may refer to the city of Hana/Terqa) on the Euphrates River, that was within the influence of Assyria.

Zakkur is believed to have founded the Aramean dynasty at the city of Hamath (now known as Hama). Some scholars consider him as an usurper, because, previously, Hamath was ruled by the kings with Luwian or neo-Hittite names.

Luhuti, over which Zakkur came to rule, is known primarily from Assyrian inscriptions. Nevertheless, these inscriptions describe Luhuti as a country with many cities and troops.

The capital of Luhuti was the city of Hazrik (modern Tell Afis; it was known as Hatarikka for the Assyrians), located 45 kilometers south of Aleppo. This is where the Zakkur Stele was found.

Luhuti was incorporated into Hamath around 796 BC; it formed the northern province of the kingdom.

Events described in the Stele
Zakkur was besieged in Tell Afis by a coalition of Aramean kings incited by Ben-Hadad III of Aram-Damascus, and led by the king of Bit Agusi. Zakkur survived the siege and commemorated the event by commissioning the Stele of Zakkur.
