Giants Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in East Rutherford, New Jersey , USA, in the Meadowlands Sports Complex . It primarily serves as the home stadium for the New York Giants and New York Jets American football teams of the NFL, and the New York Red Bulls soccer team of MLS. Maximum seating capacity is 78,741, making it the third-largest NFL stadium behind FedEx Field and the brand-new Cowboys Stadium . It is also the ninth-oldest stadium used by an NFL team. Giants Stadium will be closed and demolished in 2010 when the new Meadowlands Stadium opens.
The stadium is located at State Route 120 and State Route 3 (which is accessed from Midtown Manhattan via the Lincoln Tunnel). The New Jersey Turnpike is also close by. It is also accessible by rail via New Jersey Transit's Meadowlands Station , but only for events when more than 50,000 attendees are expected.
Giants Stadium was the first major league sporting venue in New Jersey (though the Brooklyn Dodgers had played some home games in Jersey City in 1957), and its success, along with that of the Giants in the 1980s was a major impetus behind increased pride and enthusiasm among New Jersey residents.
Giants Stadium opened on October 10, 1976, as 76,042 fans witnessed a loss by the Giants to the Dallas Cowboys. College football made its debut at Giants Stadium on October 23, 1976, with Rutgers University defeating Columbia 47–0.
The New York Giants played their first home opener in the stadium on September 25 of the 1977 season (a 20–12 loss to the Baltimore Colts).
Other professional football teams that have called Giants Stadium home over the years include the New Jersey Generals of the USFL; the New York/New Jersey Knights of the World League of American Football; and the New York/New Jersey Hitmen of the XFL. The New York Sentinels will play one game at the stadium in the United Football League inaugural season.
In the first game of the 2005 season, the New Orleans Saints used the stadium for a "home" game against the Giants because of extensive damage to the Louisiana Superdome after Hurricane Katrina.
The stadium has also hosted numerous college football games, including the Garden State Bowl from 1978–1981; the Kickoff Classic from 1983 to 2002; the New York Urban League Classic since 1981; a number of Rutgers homes games (including all their home games during the 1993 season); several Notre Dame–Navy and Notre Dame–Army games; and the Army–Navy Game on three occasions, most recently in 2002. Syracuse also played two home games at Giants Stadium during the 1979 season, against West Virginia and Penn State, while the Carrier Dome was under construction. Columbia also played some home games at Giants Stadium in 1983, due to construction at its home stadium. Temple, needing a home field due to a schedule conflict with Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia , used Giants Stadium as their home field versus Penn State in September 1996. Princeton also played one home game at Giants Stadium (against Yale) during the construction of Princeton's new stadium in 1997.
The New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League moved to Giants Stadium for the 1977 season and remained until the league folded in 1985.
Seven games of the 1994 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament were held at Giants Stadium (including the Italy v Bulgaria semi-final), along with several games of the 1999 Women's World Cup. In 2003, the SuperCoppa Italiana, an annual match pitting the winners of Serie A (Italy 's top division) and the Coppa Italia (Italian Cup), was held in Giants Stadium instead of in Italy because both clubs involved (Juventus and AC Milan) were touring the United States late in the summer, when the event is normally scheduled. In 2005, the stadium played host to several matches in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, including the final, which saw the USA defeat Panama, 3–1 in a penalty shootout after the sides played to a scoreless draw. It again held the final 4 years later for the CONCACAF Gold Cup which saw Mexico defeat the USA 0-5. It has seen many European soccer tours in recent years, hosting games involving such major soccer clubs as Manchester United, Glasgow Rangers, Celtic F.C, Chelsea, Liverpool, F.C Barcelona , and many others.
The New York Red Bulls (formerly the New York/New Jersey MetroStars) of Major League Soccer played at the stadium for their first fourteen seasons. They will move to the soccer-specific Red Bull Arena in nearby Harrison, New Jersey in 2010.
Concerts have also been a part of the Giants Stadium experience, with notable acts such as Madonna, The Jacksons, The Eagles, U2, Kiss, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Paul McCartney, The Cure, Grateful Dead, David Bowie, Dave Matthews Band, The Police, Depeche Mode, Metallica, Billy Joel, Radiohead, Elton John, Genesis, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Boston and Green Day, taking the stage before appreciative audiences.
Most of all, Giants Stadium as a concert venue is associated with Bruce Springsteen, who played there six nights in the summer of 1985 during his Born in the U.S.A. Tour and an even greater ten nights on his The Rising Tour during the summer of 2003. Springsteen returned to Giants Stadium on July 27, 28 and 31, 2008 in support of his Magic Tour. Springsteen returned to perform on September 30, October 2, 3, 8 and 9, 2009 for a special final season event for the stadium.
On Sunday, June 25, 1978, the "First Concert Ever" hosting The Beach Boys, Steve Miller Band, Pablo Cruise, and Stanky Brown was held here. The concert was named "Almost Summer". It kicked off at 12:30 with Endless Summer playing beforehand on the big screen as the gates had opened at approximately 8:30 that morning.
On Saturday, June 15, 1986, Amnesty International's Conspiracy of Hope Tour ended at Giants Stadium. The final show at Giants Stadium show was a sold-out, all-day event, running from noon until 11 p.m., broadcast on MTV, and at an outdoor stadium rather than the indoor arenas used for the first five stops. As such, these additional artists played there: John Eddie with Max Weinberg, Third World, The Hooters, Peter Paul & Mary, Little Steven with Bob Geldof, Stanley Jordan, Joan Armatrading, Jackson Browne, Rubén Blades with Fela and Carlos Santana, Yoko Ono, Howard Jones, Miles Davis, and Joni Mitchell. Spoken introductions were made by Bill Graham, Bill Bradley, Darryl Hannah, Robert DeNiro, Christopher Reeve, Michael J. Fox, and Muhammed Ali.
Pete Townshend was scheduled to play the Giants Stadium show, but cancelled at the last moment when his father, Cliff Townshend, became gravely ill. This would have been Pete Townshend's first ever US solo appearance.
In July 1994, Pink Floyd performed their last ever North American concerts at this venue in support of their album The Division Bell. These concerts are noted as it was one of two U.S. venues where the band played The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety on the US leg of the tour. These shows are available on bootleg.
On October 9, 1999, Giants stadium hosted the US side of NetAid, showcasing bands such as The Counting Crows and Jimmy Page.
On July 7, 2007 Giants Stadium was one of the hosts to the Live Earth concerts. Several artists performed at the concert including Bon Jovi, KT Tunstall, Kanye West, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, Smashing Pumpkins and The Police, just to name a few.
The majority of the "Paradise City" music video by Guns N' Roses was filmed at the stadium in 1988.
AC/DC and Anvil performed at Giants Stadium on July 31, 2009 on the Black Ice World Tour.
In 2009, Hot 97 had their last Summer Jam in Giants Stadium.
U2 played two nights at Giants Stadium, supported by Muse on September 23rd and 24th, 2009 as part of their 360° Tour. The concert tour had the band playing on a center stage, enabling the entire stadium to be utilized. This allowed the concerts to set a Giants Stadium attendance record, as over 82,000 people attended each night. Both shows sold out in a matter of minutes from the public onsale.
For some years, a popular urban legend purported that the remains of Jimmy Hoffa, whose disappearance coincided with construction of the stadium, had been buried under one of the end zones at the field. This led a Sports Illustrated writer to suggest that "This lends new meaning to the term coffin corner!" In a similar vein, sportscaster Marv Albert once said that a team was "kicking towards the Hoffa end of the field."
In the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still a scene shows the stadium being destroyed.
To accommodate these varied events, Giants Stadium has sported various playing surfaces in its history. AstroTurf was the original surface for the playing field. This surface was covered by Bermuda grass sod for the World Cup in 1994, identical to that at the Rose Bowl where the other semifinal and the finals were held (so that both teams in the finals would have played on identical surfaces). The grass was removed after the World Cup, as it would have died in the New Jersey winter. The MetroStars, however, installed a grass field each spring, but was removed prior to the football season, forcing the team to play its final home games each year on AstroTurf. The AstroTurf was removed in 2000 and a system of interchangeable grass trays was implemented from 2000 to 2002, but was considered a failure, since the quality of the field worsened as the NFL season progressed. Notably, this was the era when the New York/New Jersey Hitmen of the XFL played their games; XFL regulations required a grass surface, which Giants Stadium normally did not have. (Part of the problem may have stemmed from the fact that the original AstroTurf field was kept in place under the grass, to help in drainage.) It was replaced by a new artificial surface, FieldTurf, in 2003.
When the New York Jets left Shea Stadium and moved to Giants Stadium in 1984, many predicted the stadium would be renamed. Understandably, the Jets organization preferred not to reside in a facility named after another team. However, under the terms of the stadium lease, changing the name of the stadium requires the Giants' approval, and the Giants refused to change the name. The Jets formerly referred to their home field as "The Meadowlands," not "Giants Stadium." However, in recent years, Jets tickets and other materials have given the official stadium name. The proposed stadium is expected to bear a sponsor's name as bids for the naming rights are currently being accepted.
Thanks largely to the dual occupancy of Giants Stadium by two NFL teams since 1984, it has surpassed Wrigley Field (home of the Chicago Bears for fifty seasons) as the venue to have hosted more NFL games than any other in league history. The game played between the Jets and Miami Dolphins on September 14, 2003 was the 366th regular season NFL game at Giants Stadium breaking Wrigley's regular season record.
While the stadium has a decidedly blue atmosphere, matching the Giants' team colors, when the Jets play there, the walls are covered with green banners, matching their colors. In addition, the gates outside the stadium are covered with green Jets logos to hide the standard blue and red. As of 2007, both the Jets and Giants have returned to using color in the endzones (the Jets script is now a dark green, the Giants script is now blue), so the grounds crew must paint one logo on over the other when the stadium is being converted.
In mid-December, traditionally the stadium hosts a Saturday-Sunday NFL doubleheader, with the Giants playing a home game one day and the Jets playing the other. The night between the games is a challenge for the stadium grounds crew, as they have only hours to convert the stadium from one team's colors to the other. As per the NFL schedule, the Giants and the Jets play each other once every four years. In that case, there is a predetermined home team, and a predetermined away team. In those games, the away team gets a rare away game in their own home stadium. The Giants and Jets typically play each other every year in the third week of the NFL Preseason, and the teams annually rotate the home and away teams.

On a whim I got a 36-peg knitting loom (how I got it is a really long story) a few weeks ago and have really gotten into knitting with it since then.
You can knock out projects in a very short period of time—I'm an instant gratification type, and with this I finished my first hat (see pic) in hours. It turned out shockingly ok-looking so I started on a scarf, which I finished really fast too!
It's more beginner-friendly. With needle knitting, your tension affects the look of your finished product a lot, which is why all my scarves from before looked seriously lopsided. And even tension takes a lotta practice, which I never had the patience for. Loom knitting is more forgiving in that aspect.
Knitting is relaxing without being too relaxing. You know how people say it's good to meditate? I've never been able to make a habit of it because it just seems so boring and… pointless. Knitting is like meditation but still feeling as if you're being productive.
It's a hobby that takes my eyes away from a screen! My iPhone has started giving me these weekly "reports" on how much time I was spending on my phone. Last week my average daily usage was OVER 6 HOURS! I don't even wanna think about how much time I spend in front of my computer or TV. When I'm knitting, though, I can let my eyes take a break. I usually listen to podcasts or something else (recently I started on an audiobook version of Perfume by Patrick Suskind which my boyfriend has been telling me to read forever) to keep me occupied.
Of course, there are downsides too. Mainly, the limitations on what you can knit. Most patterns out there are for needle knitting or crochet, and the patterns that do exist for loom knitting are usually hats, scarves, socks, headbands or mittens (although there are a few creative ones, such as for sweaters and bangle bracelets).
I still want to challenge myself and push the limits of loom knitting—my current project is knitting a lil cozy for my wireless earphones—but seeing the diversity of objects that can be knit with needles has made me consider making another foray into that world as well.
Although getting started with knitting (casting on, basic stitches) is easy, going deeper can be rough because of how confusing the terminology is. A typical knitting pattern can include instructions like: slip the first st (to avoid a hole) and knit 10 sts past the other side of the MT, turn * slip the first st, past the MT and knit 10 sts more than previous turn*, repeat from * - * until 20-14-28-22-16 left mid front. Tbh, I'm still struggling to decipher patterns myself and I rely on video tutorials a lot. But it's pretty easy to Google the terms you don't know, and doing more simple items like hats and scarves at the beginning and practicing different stitches is the most pain-free way to improve before moving on to complicated patterns.
Something else I felt overwhelmed by when beginning to knit was all the different kinds of yarn. What do the big numbers on each skein mean? Should I use cotton, wool, polyester, acrylic, or something else for my project? Does more expensive = better quality?
So far, I've only used acrylic yarn and t-shirt yarn (which is mostly cotton), so I can't comment on these questions, but I'll be getting some answers next week when the yarn I ordered gets here! However, the numbers you usually find on new yarn skeins refer to the weight of the yarn, that is, how thick the strands are.
For loom knitting, I think yarn with medium weight or higher (i.e. 4–7) is best. But I've knitted with fine before (doubled up in two strands, so maybe it's closer to a medium?) and it turned out ok. I'm going to try experimenting with different weights of yarn and see how it makes a difference in the product. I think a thicker yarn will produce something stiffer.
Finally, I've compiled a big list of Canadian online yarn shops! Knitters really love their LYS (local yarn stores) but I'm kinda lazy to drive out 15 minutes to the nearest brick and mortar that in my city, so I've only done online shopping for yarn so far. I've only tried YarnCanada.ca and Yarnspirations, so I can't give reviews for the other places, but the great news is all of these companies are Canadian(!) except for Yarnspirations, I believe. I also hate shipping fees so most of these businesses have free shipping options as well.
Art of Yarn Free shipping on orders over $125.
Baaad Anna's has a smaller selection but carries lots of obscure brands. Free shipping over $200.
Black Sheep Yarns Free shipping over $125.
Camilla Valley Farm This one is pretty cool, they offer yarn on cones as well as skeins. I personally like cones more because I think it keeps the yarn more organized. Their physical storefront is located in Orangeville ON which isn't too far from Toronto. Shipping is somewhat expensive.
Coastal Fibres Free shipping over $125.
Dewedlebug Fibre Emporium I don't think free shipping is available.
Espace Tricot Free shipping over $200.
Eweknit offers free shipping over $75.

Wet Coast Wools has a similar price range to Little Red Mitten. Free shipping over $150. I haven't bought from them yet.
Wool-Tyme Free shipping over $100.
YarnCanada.ca is a newer company based in New Westminster BC. They offer free shipping over $45. While the selection isn't as extensive as some of these other more established sites, they still carry a lot of stuff and they're the most budget-friendly choice I'm aware of right now.
The Yarn Guy Free shipping over $100.
Yarnspirations one of the more well-known Canadian-based yarn suppliers. Brand and fiber selection is a bit limited; they only carry the bigger brands Bernat, Caron, Lily, Patons, and Phentex. Sometimes they have really great deals, I bought a bunch of their "mystery bag" yarns for $3 and each one is a pound of pretty good quality yarn. Shipping is free over $75!

The data link layer is layer two in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, this layer is used for nodes communicating over a single network such as a LAN, layer two packets cannot be transmitted from one network to another. The address system that the data link layer uses is the MAC address, these are 48-bit addresses that are assigned to each network interface, on each network the MAC address must be unique.
Technipages Explains Data Link Layer
The OSI model describes seven standard layers of computer networking that handle the addressing and structure of every stage between the application layer where programs state what data they want to transmit, to the physical layer where all data is represented in pure binary for transmission and back.
In the OSI model, the physical layer is the lowest layer and deals with the raw binary of the data in transmission. The data link layer is the second layer dealing with transmissions inside a single network. The network layer is for communication between networks and uses IP addresses to uniquely identify hosts.
The data link layer's address structure is completely flat, in that the addresses do not imply any sort of logical or physical structure. MAC addresses have an organised structure where the first half of the address is a manufacturer identifier as allocated by the IEEE, the second half of the MAC address is random and is generally assigned when a Network Interface Controller (NIC) is made. It is possible to manually modify or spoof the MAC address of a NIC, although this requires special software to perform.
Common Uses of Data Link Layer
Besides framing, the data link layer also includes mechanisms to detect and even recover from transmission errors.
Data-link frames do not cross the boundaries of a local area network.
The data link layer is the sixth of seven networking layers in the OSI model.
Common Misuses of Data Link Layer
The data link layer uses IP addresses as its address structure.

The company also plans to continue moving forward based on its concept of developing robots while always keeping in mind that the needs and expectations of the human being always come before those of its robotic assistant or companion.

Two sons of New Hampshire with the surname Castonguay served during WWI in the Canadian Army. They died in service 3 days apart. Their names are engraved on New Hampshire's Roll of Honor in Doric Hall of the New Hampshire State House. These are their stories.
Postcard view of Gorham NH before WWI.
The first soldier, only shown as "N.P. Castonguay" on the Honor Roll in the NH State House was Napoleon Paul Castonguay. He was born 10 April 1892 in Cookshire, Quebec, Canada, son of Alfred "Fred" & Virginia (Lepage) Castonguay. He had siblings Marie Louise (1887-1974; m. 1905 VT Ludevin Joseph Gregoire Bourbeau); Eugenie (1886-?); Joseph Alfred Castonguay (1888- 1978); and Levi Oliver Castonguay (1894-1978, married Alma A. Davis).
showing his cause of death.
immersed bridge raked by shell fire.
Regiment, Serial #3081736. He was shipped overseas arriving in England on 3 April 1918 aboard the SS Saxonia. In Europe he was transferred 20 June 1918 to the 14th Battalion, at Camp Bramshott [a temporary army camp set up on Bramshott Common, Hampshire, England]. From there he was sent to the battlefront in France. The History of the 14th Canadian Battalion shows that from 27 September through 2 October 1918 the 14th Battalion and Napoleon P. Castonguay was part of the Battle of Canal du Nord (that began one day after the American Meuse-Argonne Offensive).
It was probably in the Battle of Canal du Nord that Napoleon Paul Castonguay received a deadly gunshot wound to the abdomen. He died on the same day 1 October 1918 at Emergency Evacuation Post #13. His body now lies buried at Duisans British Cemetery, France. His family added a CENOTAPH at the family plot in Lakeside Cemetery, Island Pond Vermont.
Birdseye view of Greenville NH pre WWI.
The second soldier of this story is Henri Oswald Castonguay who was born 7 June 1896 in Greenville, New Hampshire, son of Henri and Adele (Robichaud) Castonguay. He grew up in and attended school in that small town with his parents and siblings Beatrice Delia (1889-1941, m. Robert Wilson Smith); Oran/Orande (1895-?); Florence (1900-1989, m. Harry G. Tidd); and Orlando (1901-1978, m. Beatrice Haines). By 1910 the family had moved to live in Lowell, MA where the father Henri was a weaver in the cotton mill.
At this point I need to add an important caution and explanation for readers to keep an open mind for what follows. The soldiers of WWI were imperfect human beings, just as we all are. During the World War ordinary people were faced with horrific situations and they did not always act nobly or bravely. Fear is a survival mechanism that soldiers were expected to overcome–not all succeeded. The diagnosis of battle exhaustion or fatigue was little known and rarely treated. In addition the 22nd (French Canadian) Battalion aka the "Van Doos" [see photos] to which Osward Castonguay was assigned had intermittent morale and discipline problems [as studied by several historians]. Please keep this all in mind as you learn Oswald Castonguay's story.
On 1 September 1915 at the age of 19 years 3 months, Oswald Castonguay completed his Attestation papers [large PDF file] at Quebec Canada. He described himself as being 5'7″ tall, fair complexioned with blue eyes and auburn hair. He considered fit for service. His Service ID Number was 417112. Oswald Castonguay was assigned at first to the 69th Battalion C.E.F., and as all Canadian soldiers were required to do, he made out his will. He was quickly transferred to the 22nd Battalion, arriving in England with his battalion on 28 October 1915. For several months his battalion was involved in training exercises.
Museum, George Metcalf Archival Collection.
According to one source, prior to his (later) court-martial for desertion, Castonguay illegally absented himself twice, on November 12, 1915 and January 8, 1916. I have no details of these events (whether they were AWOL or desertion) nor how he was punished. Studies show he was not alone among his fellow soldiers in this absenting behavior, and that many others in his battalion did the same thing.
Oswald Castonguay's first real battle experience occurred at St. Elois Craters 27 March – 16 April 1916. The battle is considered an "unmitigated disaster," but not due to the bravery of the soldiers involved. Lack of leadership, poor decision-making, and a loss of communications all contributed to great loss of life. [Read "The Blind Leading the Blind"]. One of the Canadian soldiers wrote describing what he saw when the sun rose on the first day in the trenches: ""When day broke, the sights that met our gaze were so horrible and ghastly that they beggar description. Heads, arms and legs were protruding from the mud at every yard and dear knows how many bodies the earth swallowed. Thirty corpses were at least showing [in] the crater and beneath its clayey waters other victims must be lying killed and drowned." The trenches in which they stood and fought were from two to three feet deep in cold water and mud. Oswald survived this battle, and a month later he was hospitalized. No doubt the battalion was now allowed some "rest time." From 20 May 1916 to 27 July 1916 he was treated for VDG.
The next battle that Oswald participated in was The Battle of Flers–Courcelette (15–22 September 1916). What history books and stories usually relate is that this was the first time tanks were used in battle. What is often glossed over is that the Canadian Corps fought here with great bravery and skill, but at a terrible cost–7,230 casualties. This battle is often called a "slaughterhouse." Those who survived suffered battle exhaustion. Replacements were sent from other battalions to fill the gaps left by the dead.
Oswald's sentence was commuted from 15 years to 2 years on 12 July 1917. Because he was incarcerated, we know that Oswald Castonguay did not participate in the Battle of Cambrai, 20 November 1917 with the 22nd Canadian Battalion.
Then, having served a year and two months of hard labor, Oswald Castonguay was released from prison 11 August 1918 with the remainder of his sentence suspended. He was re-assigned to 22nd Battalion and rejoined his unit on 15 August 1918. Two weeks later he was dead.
On 12 September 1918 the Fitchburg Sentinel published an obituary [Editor's note: I have used the overstrike (cross out) option to show the portions of the story that are not true according to Oswald's official military records]: Oswald Castonguay. Killed in Action. [actually died of wounds]. The first Greenville boy to give the last full measure of devotion for the cause of democracy is Oswald Castonguay, son of Mr. and Mrs. Castonguay , word having been received Sunday morning by telegraph that he had been killed during the present British drive, falling at the battle of Courcelette, [he fell at Cherisy] which his regiment captured. Long before his own country found it necessary to bear arms young Castonguay went to Canada and on Sept 2, 1915 enlisted in the 22nd Canadian regiment. He drilled two months at Camp Valeartier near Quebec after which he sailed for England where he trained for nearly a year. His regiment has seen hard service. He fought at Vimy Ridge nearly lost his life. in the battle of Cambrai last November and had seen continuous service since last Spring. The official communication came from Ottawa, Canada and stated that the information from across came from No 7 casualty clearing station, death occurring August 29 from shrapnel. Mr. Castonguay was born in this town on June 5, 1897 and attended the public schools. His parents received a letter from him about two months ago in which he stated that he expected to be home the coming Christmas. He is survived by his parents, two sisters and two brothers.
What we call illusions are often, in truth, a wilder vision of past and present realities–a willing movement of a man's soul with the larger sweep of the world's forces–a movement toward a more assured end than the chances of a single life. We see human heroism broken into units and say this unit did little, might as well not have been. But in this way we might break up a great army into units; in this way we might break the sunlight into fragments, and thinking that this and the other might be cheaply parted with. Let us, rather, raise a monument to the soldiers whose brave hearts only kept the ranks unbroken, and met death–a monument to the faithful who were not famous, and who are precious as the continuity of the sunbeams is precious, though some of them fall unseen and on barrenness.– George Elliot.

To me, it is remarkable that so few soldiers desert. I doubt I would have been able to endure seeing what happens in war.
Amy, I agree with you, and I hope that I wrote this story carefully enough so that people can understand and empathize with the situation of these soldiers. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Absolutely. I certainly reacted that way. Great job with a tough story, Janice.
I volunteered to go to Vietnam. It's like waiting in line for the roller coaster. Your scared silly yet the challenge is an exhilarating rush. Of course the people that were drafted had no choice.
David, Thank you for your service. You and the other veterans of that war were never thanked enough.
The horrors of war are difficult enough to read about let alone endure. It is difficult to imagine how one might feel if they faced the circumstances Oswald did. I think your story does justice to the service of this young man and others like him.
What an impressive set of sources and research on a heart-breaking story.
Thank you. I went through an exhaustive list to make sure that I had enough information to tell this story, and then was boggled at how I could possibly present it without the person being lost in the data. Thank you for making me feel I succeeded.
Very interesting story, fairly presented and well written. Thank you.

This is a great hotel with awesome front desk staff. The entire stay was perfect. The room was great for a big family.
Parents weekend at Geneseo, very nice hotel.
Everything was nice, but the floors in the halls, elevator etc all needed vacuuming. The couch in our suite was in need of a vacuum as well. Lint, food crumbs, etc in there when we opened it up for the kids. Otherwise, everything was wonderful!
Couldn't have asked for better place to stay. People were very nice. Room was the best we've stayed in.
Very friendly helpful employees at the front desk. Rooms were clean.

Rimkai – ist der höchste Stadtteil von Jonava in der Rajongemeinde Jonava, im Bezirk Kaunas (in Litauen), westlich vom Stadtzentrum, am geomorphologischen Schutzgebiet Kulva. Die Hauptstraßen im Mikrorajon sind Petro Vaičiūno-, Chemikų-, Abraomo Kulviečio-, Žemaitės- und ein Teil von Vasario 16-osios-Straße.

Geschichte

Das Rajon Rimkai war früher der östliche Teil des Dorfs Rimkai im Amtsbezirk Kulva.

1775  war der Ort als "Berže alias Rymki" (Tarifa Podymn.) bekannt. 1784 wurde das Dorf als "Rynki alias Borže" erwähnt. In der Landkarte von 1843 gab es einen Ort "Rimki" und 1883 "Rymki" (RTž), 1900  "Rimkiai", 1915  "Rymki" (WR). Seit 1933 heißt der Ort Rimkai.

Das Mikrorajon entstand in der Sowjetzeit. Damals gab es einen Wohnraumbedarf für die mehreren Mitarbeiter des  Chemiebetriebs G/S Azotas. Viele waren Russen und kamen aus Sowjetrussland. So entstand beispielsweise die Chemiker-Str. (Chemikų gatvė).

1981 wurde die 5. Mittelschule (mit 891 Schülern und 46 Lehrern) geöffnet. So  1988 öffnete man die 6. Mittelschule (mit 727 Schülern und 44 Lehrern). 1997 bekam die 6. Mittelschule Jonava den Namen von Raimundas Samulevičius und die 5. Mittelschule den Namen von Justinas Vareikis. 2001 wurden beide Mittelschulen zu den Hauptschulen reorganisiert. Die Schüler aus Rimkai erreichen jetzt die Abitur in zwei Gymnasien der Stadt.

2008 wurde die St.-Johannes-Pfarrgemeinde gegründet und dann die St.-Johannes-Kapelle eingerichtet. Für den Bau einer neuen St.-Johannes-Kirche wurde ein Gremium aus katholischen Einwohnern und Politikern der Rajongemeinde gebildet.

2009 wurde das Jugendzentrum Jonava  in Rimkai gegründet.

Der Rimkų-Wahlbezirk Nr. 1 (Rimkų rinkimų apylinkė Nr. 1) hat 2637 Wahlberechtigte (2012).

Einrichtungen
In Rimkai befindet sich das lokale Arbeitsamt als eine Unterabteilung Jonava der territorialen Arbeitsbörse Kaunas. Im Stadtteil gibt es insgesamt drei Schulen, zwei davon als Mittelschulen im damaligen Sowjetlitauen gebaut (später wurden sie zu den Hauptschulen reorganisiert). Dazu gehören das Justinas-Vareikis-Progymnasium (1–10 Klassen) und das Raimundas-Samulevičius-Progymnasium sowie die Rimkai-Grundschule Jonava (1–4 Klassen).

Es gibt den "Gandriukas"-Kindergarten, Filiale der Bibliothek Jonava, zwei Gesundheitszentren (Filiale von VšĮ "Jonavos pirminės sveikatos priežiūros centras" und UAB "Rimkų sveikatos centras"), ein Handelszentrum "Dobilas", ein modernes Bestattungshaus.

Transport

Es gibt lokale Bus-Verbindungen des Gemeinde-Transportunternehmens UAB "Jonavos autobusai":
Nr. 1 (Lietava – Rimkai – AB "Jonavos grūdai" - Autobusų Stotis)
Nr. 3 (Autobusų Stotis – Senelių Pensionatas – Rimkai)
Nr. 5 (Biblioteka – Rimkai – AB "Jonavos grūdai")

EXPOSED: How Oyeleke, Kwara PDP House of Reps candidate compromised Harmony Holdings Investigation (part 1)
Freshinsight July 16, 2022 in General Tagged Harmony Holdings, Hassan Oyeleke, Kwara State House of Assembly - 5 Minutes
By Abdulrasheed Akogun
The Peoples Democratic Party's House of Representatives candidate for Ifelodun/Offa/Oyun Federal constituency of Kwara State, Hon. Hassan Oyeleke has been confirmed to have compromised investigations into the books of Harmony Holdings while he served as member House of Assembly, Fresh Insight's investigation has revealed.
The Offa born politician who was a two term member of the Kwara State House of Assembly between 2011 – 2019, was the House leader under the Speakership of Rt. Hon. Ali Ahmad.
It would be recalled the Assembly had on August 17, 2017 constituted a 7-man Ad-hoc committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Hassan Oyeleke to investigate the activities of the State owned Harmony Holdings Limited, which was a result of allegations of corrupt practices leveled against the management of the outfit.
Other members of the committee includes Hon. Kamal Oyekunle Fagbemi, Hon. Abdulrasheed Taiwo Abdullahi, Hon. Moshood Bakare, Hon. Emmanuel Folorunsho Abodunrin, Hon. Abdulkadir Segilola, Hon. Ahmed Ibn Mohammed and Hon. Afolayan Bunmi Victoria.
The committee had five (5) terms of reference, which includes to verify which funds, property and assets were taken over by Harmony Holdings, investigate all account books and activities of Harmony Holdings till date and verify whether Harmony Holdings sufficiently justify its establishment as a commercial outfit.
Other terms of reference include identification of success stories recorded if any, by Harmony Holdings since inception and investigate allegations relating to fund and property managed by Harmony Holdings according to section 128 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
According to a secret recording of the proceedings detailing what transpired at the committee hearing, it can be concluded that the legislative committee's actions were anything but fair, just or credible.
According to excerpts from an audio recording of interaction with one of the indicted Directors, Bayo Sanni, Hon. Hassan Oyeleke said "Fagbemi's father was not only brought up in the palace, his father is the present Onijagbo of Ijagbo, he's thus a potential Oba. My own father was the Essa of Offa, I was also brought up in the palace. We were brought up with the core Yoruba tradition.
"Therefore if we do this thing officially, whatever things we put down here is already accepted on the floor of the House. If you want to make this thing messy and feel you're well connected, call the press, say all sort of things, we'll show you that we know our jobs here.
"Whatever we do is final, nobody can take the parliament to court, we can remove the Governor, regardless of if he's right or wrong.
"Harmony Holdings can cease to exist if we go to the floor of the House with that position, nobody dares do otherwise, not even the Governor.
"Why I asked them to put off the camera is that we're looking at the possibilities of looking the other side, all the excuse you've given ain't tenable.
"Many members of the political class have enjoyed more largesse than this, yet nobody raised eyebrows, you can see some prime land within the GRA given to members of the political class, without issues. Now you've blown your trumpet and that's why we're here, because the public are demanding we take action.
"When we got all your documents and see all these small small money, we even thought billions of naira was involved, especially with the public outcry. We've not seen any money stolen here.
"Mr. Sanni will do himself good by appealing strongly and reaching out to all members and we will play down the issues, which means us staking our integrity and not care about what the public will say and want.
"The only issue we've seen here is that of morality, the property in question was legally acquired.
"If we come out with a resolution that the House should be taken over from him, there will be jubilation in the town, because he has been adjudged wrongly, regardless of the fact that he's gotten all necessary documents to lay claim to the property, that's rather unfortunate.
"I think he should take advantage of our willingness to look the other side. Else we can indict all board members and even dissolve them. We're looking at how to resolve this logjam by being on the business side" he added.
Curiously, the committee's report which was tendered on the floor of the House 6 months after, as against the acceptance and confirmation of Hon. Hassan Oyeleke that nothing actually happened, came out negating his earlier submissions caught on tape.
According to committee's findings which was a complete negation, recommended that "Harmony Holdings which is a commercial entity is being run like a government parastatal. Often properties that were supposed to be sold at commercial rate were ridiculously released to staff and their cronies while the State bleeds under a stressed economy to survive.
"The board and management of Harmony Holdings should be dissolved. New managers should be appointed to take stock of the properties, accounts and interests of the Company" among others.
These two recommendations and many more, were, as could be heard from the audio the threats reeled out by Hon. Hassan Oyeleke at the committee sitting, insisting the only remedy is if all the committee members are reached out to, a subtle green light of the committee member's willingness to compromise.

Traditional May 1 union marches turned violent in France on Monday and presidential election frontrunner, Emmanuel Macron, attacked far-right rival Marine Le Pen, highlighting the divisions six days before the runoff.
Six police officers were hurt in clashes in Paris between masked youths throwing Molotov cocktails and riot police who responded with tear gas, as tens of thousands of union activists took to the streets for May Day demonstrations, AFP reported.
Interior Minister Matthias Fekl condemned the violence and said one officer was seriously burned on the hand while another had serious burns to the face, without saying which was the officer in the photograph.
In a feisty speech, Macron told thousands of his supporters he would defend "free democracy" if voters choose him on Sunday after Le Pen had urged voters to reject "the world of finance, of arrogance, of money as king" she said her opponent embodied.
The traditional union-led marches underlined the conspicuous absence of the united front shown in 2002 when Le Pen's father Jean-Marie shocked the country by reaching the runoff.
That show of force, coupled with a political closing of ranks, helped the center-right's Jacques Chirac inflict a crushing defeat on Le Pen senior.
This time, with leftwing candidates eliminated in the first round, the left is deeply divided over the choice between Le Pen's 48-year-old daughter and Macron, a 39-year-old former investment banker.
Two unions, CFDT and Unsa, have called for their members to back Macron.
But while three other more leftwing unions, including the biggest, CGT, have called for demonstrations against Le Pen's vision of French identity, they have stopped short of backing Macron whose economically liberal outlook worries many members.
Some militants have formed a movement they have called "Social Front" to block both candidates.
Le Pen hit back that the unions "are not defending workers' interests, they are looking after their own interests".
Macron is currently favored to become France's youngest-ever president, leading Le Pen by 19 points in the polls, but she has emerged as an effective campaigner.
Speaking at a convention center in northern Paris, Macron, however, said Le Pen "had fed off worry and hate for years".
Macron said he was aware that "many people will vote for me to avoid having the National Front".
"I say to them that I am completely aware that on May 7, I will be doing more than defending a political program—I will be leading the fight for the republic and for a free democracy," he said to roars of approval from supporters.
Le Pen took her campaign on Monday to the working-class Paris suburb of Villepinte where the first speaker was Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, a Euroskeptic from outside the FN who Le Pen has said will be her prime minister if she wins on Sunday.
"It's a choice between France and finance," Dupont-Aignan said in a jibe at Macron.

'Bin Laden warned US not to support Israel in last tape'
Islamist website posts purported final audio recording made by al-Qaida leader: Attacks will continue until Palestine knows security.

Osama bin Laden warned the US in the final audio tape he recorded before being killed that "our attacks will continue against you as long as your support for Israel continues," AFP reported on Sunday, citing an Islamist website.
Bin Laden addressed US President Barack Obama, saying "America will not be able to dream of security until we live in security in Palestine. It is unfair that you live in peace while our brothers in Gaza live in insecurity."
Obama: Bin Laden likely had some support in Pakistan
Middle Israel: Osama and the powers that be
The al-Qaida leader said that he has tried to send a message to the US through Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, known as the "underwear bomber," who tried to detonate a bomb on a Detroit-bound US airliner in December 2009.
"If it were possible to send you messages by way of words, we would not have had to use planes to send them to you," he said.
"So the message we wanted to convey through the plane of our hero, the fighter Umar Farouk, may God be with him, confirms a previous message which had been sent to you by our heroes of September 11," he said.
The recording, released on Shamikh1.net, a conduit for al-Qaida communications, was just over a minute long.

Takata airbag recall: What you need to know
Potentially defective airbags manufactured by the Japanese Takata company were fitted to an estimated 100 million vehicles worldwide.
August 2018 update: You can now check if your vehicle is affected by the compulsory recall by searching for your registration plate or Vehicle Identification Number at RightCar.govt.nz.
April 2018 update: A compulsory recall now applies to vehicles fitted with older "alpha" generation airbags, while the remaining vehicles remain under voluntary recall.
Potentially defective airbags manufactured by the Japanese Takata company have been fitted to an estimated 100 million vehicles worldwide. While the faulty airbags have resulted in deaths and injuries in other countries, the recall remains voluntary in New Zealand.
The problem is that the airbag inflator can be adversely affected by moisture, with the result being a chance the inflator could deploy with explosive force when in a crash. In the worst cases they have sent metal shards flying into the passenger cabin. Faulty Takata airbags have caused a reported 23 deaths and more than 230 injuries worldwide. While one death attributed to a faulty airbag has occurred in Australia, no fatalities or injuries have been reported here.
This isn't a new issue. Manufacturers have been recalling vehicles with these faulty airbags since 2013. More vehicles get added as the manufacturers and Takata understand which airbags are problematic and which vehicles have them fitted. It isn't just cheap or Japanese vehicles – the list includes most European manufacturers and luxury models from brands such as Ferrari and Jaguar.
Recall action
The recall is voluntary in New Zealand and was in Australia until yesterday. The Australian government has announced a compulsory recall of more than two million vehicles fitted with Takata airbags. Manufacturers have until the end of 2020 to replace the defective airbags, or face heavy fines. It's reported that 1.7 million cars in Australia have already been fixed. The compulsory recall affects an additional 2.3 million vehicles.
Part of the problem is the scale of the recall. It's impossible to co-ordinate the immediate replacement of airbags in 100 million vehicles worldwide. Takata is close to bankruptcy and struggling to supply enough replacement parts. Exacerbating the problem is that many early replacement airbag inflators need to be replaced again. Replacements are now either Takata models fitted with a desiccant drying agent to draw moisture out of the inflator, or parts from a different airbag manufacturer.
It's not as simple as saying a vehicle fitted with a potentially defective Takata airbag is deadly. Not all of the recalled airbags will explode on deployment (in fact, it's highly unlikely). However, there's no way of telling which inflators are defective, so the recall includes all cars fitted with them as a preventative measure.
"Alpha" airbags most at risk
Older "alpha" airbags (manufactured 11 to 16 years ago) are most at risk, especially if the car's in a hot and humid environment. Of nearly four million vehicles affected in Australia, about 115,000 have alpha model airbags: 89,000 of those have been replaced. The Australian government has told manufacturers vehicles with alpha inflators are a top priority. Manufacturers will have to follow a strict schedule to have cars repaired. Cars in areas of high heat and humidity are of the highest priority, followed by cars that are older than six years.
The Motor Industry Association (MIA) estimates 300,000 or more vehicles in New Zealand are affected, with many being used-imports. Those are subject to recalls in their country of origin – mostly Japan. The MIA and NZTA reported in September that 140,000 Kiwi motorists had been advised replacement inflators were available, and about half had taken their vehicles in for the fix.
The current situation New Zealand
Since the issue came to light in 2013, less than a quarter of vehicles with affected airbags on our roads have been fixed. That's a poor return. If the recall and fix rate doesn't improve voluntarily, our government needs to consider making it mandatory.
We have no reported incidents and enjoy a temperate climate, rather than the hot and humid conditions linked with these airbag failures. However, we're not in the clear. We have an old vehicle fleet – averaging almost 14 years old – so it's likely a higher proportion of our vehicles will be fitted with older alpha airbags. We think more needs to be done by manufacturers to identify and fix these vehicles as a priority.
Check to see if your vehicle is part of the compulsory alpha recall. You can search the database of alpha recalled vehicles by registration plate or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) here. The database includes BMW, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Subaru and Toyota models. It will be updated with other manufacturers as further information becomes available.
Check to see if your vehicle is part of the wider (voluntary) recall. You can look for NZ-new models here or find a list of used-import models recalled in Japan here. The lists are always being updated, as more makes and models are implicated, so keep checking.
If your car is on the recall list, the manufacturer will contact you. Make sure your contact details are up to date here.
If you are contacted by the manufacturer, take your car in and get it fixed. It won't cost you anything.
If you have a used-import that arrived in New Zealand in 2015 or 2016, which is part of the recall, check if the airbag has been disabled by following the guidelines here. You must take the car to an authorised dealer to have it reconnected, as it will not pass a WOF otherwise, and the safety issue of having no airbag far outweighs the risk of having a recalled airbag fitted and active. The car will need the airbag inflator replaced as part of the recall.
