Summary

First half

The draw at the beginning of the match, concerning the right to choose the starting half of the football field, resulted in Odense KFUM getting the goal facing the western side of the stadium, towards Øster Allé, while Esbjerg fB started off with the goal in the east section, situated next to Østerbro Stadium. The weather on match day was sunny with an almost cloudless sky, and a light to fresh westerly wind — the maximum temperature was measured to 16 °C in Copenhagen.2–3–5 formations typical of the era, consisting of two full-backs, three half-backs, and five forwards, while Esbjerg fB was also using a fluent 4–2–4 system.

The match was initiated with a couple of close scoring opportunities by Esbjerg fB's Carl Bertelsen, but Odense KFUM and goalkeeper Tage Jørgensen managed not to concede any goals.Helge Jørgensen after 15 minutes of game play.dribble his way past the opponent's defenses, but ended up performing a somersault over the legs of Esbjerg fB's John Madsen.Jens Petersen had several shot attempts from the distance, which did not cause the Odense KFUM keeper any issues, while forward Bertelsen had two headers towards Odense KFUM's goal, both with no success.Erik Gaardhøje saved the attempt using his foot.


1964 Danish Cup final

During periods of the first half, when Esbjerg fB had the advantage in the game play, they combined at a faster pace than the Odense KFUM players.head coach Ole Petersen and the match selection committee, presided by Ove Birkholm, were to have the team's inner wings fall back to the Odense defensive area and pick up the ball, while attempting to keep the ball in play, until the left and right wingers were back in their positions – the same strategy employed by the Odense KFUM team in the last couple of competitive matches, which had successfully paid off.Aktuelt, Knud Lundberg, praised KFUM's tactics of deliberately slowing down the pace, keeping the ball in play with short passings at the center of the football field, and slowly initiating their attacks as a countermeasure to EfB's fast-paced squad, especially in the first half.

Second half

At the very beginning of the second half, Carl Bertelsen was able to get through Odense KFUM's defensive lines, but Tage Jørgensen managed to tackle and prevent a goal.Helge Jørgensen — his best attempt in the entire match, following a pass from half back Jørgen Larsen — was saved in flying style by EfB's keeper Erik Gaardhøje, resulting in the opponent being given a corner kick.Knud Petersen, in the right side eventually arrived at Bertelsen, who failed his kick due to a tackle, but it eluded the defense and the ball continued to a free Kikkenborg a few meters from the goal, who scored by hitting the lower edge of the crossbar ending up in the net.

Seven Buildings

The Seven Buildings in 1865.

The Seven Buildings were seven townhouses constructed on the northwest corner of Pennsylvania Avenue NW and 19th Street NW in Washington, D.C., in 1796.James Madison and his wife, Dolley, after the burning of the White House in 1814, and later the residence of Martin Van Buren shortly before and after his inauguration as president. Most of the buildings were demolished in 1959. The facades of two buildings were incorporated into the Embassy of Mexico in 1986.

Overview

The Residence Act of 1790, which established the District of Columbia as the site for the capital of the United States, provided for the appointment of three commissioners by the President (without the need for Senate confirmation) to govern the District of Columbia, survey its land, purchase property from private landowners, and construct federal buildings.James Greenleaf and Robert Morris purchased 6,000 lots from the commissioners and began marketing them for sale and development.Walter Stewart purchased the seven lots at 1901 to 1913 Pennsylvania Avenue and constructed seven three-story townhouses on the property.Georgetown, Hamburgh Village (the current neighborhood of Foggy Bottom), and on the many farms in what became D.C. preceded them. However, they were among the earliest residential homes to be constructed in the new "Federal City" in the District of Columbia.

The remaining facades of the Seven Buildings, incorporated into a 1986 office building (2007)

1901 Pennsylvania Avenue NW was the most famous of the seven structures. After the Burning of Washington by British troops in 1814, President James Madison and his wife, Dolley, lived in the building from October 1815 to March 1817 while the White House was restored.Andrew Jackson and his wife in the building in late 1815.Elbridge Gerry lived in it while he was vice president from 1813 till his death in 1814.Vice President Martin Van Buren lived for a short period in this house as well, just before he was elected. He stayed in it until shortly after his inauguration.

It is often reported, such as on the plaque erected on the remaining facades, that the corner house served briefly as the State Department headquarters from 1800 to 1801, and thus was where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were stored, but this is due to confusion between this row and the "Six Buildings" further down the street. The "Six Buildings" had a seventh building added on later and this is the source of the confusion.


Seven Buildings

From 1804 to 1811, the corner house was the French Embassy and from 1811 until the outbreak of the War of 1812 it was the British Embassy.Stephen Decatur purchased 1907 and 1909 Pennsylvania Avenue in 1816 and lived in one of them in from 1817 to 1818. It was his first home in D.C.

During the American Civil War, General George B. McClellan and General Martin Davis Hardin both had their headquarters in the Seven Buildings.

During their first 50 years, the Seven Buildings were some of the most fashionable addresses in the city. But by the 1890s, they were being used as commercial structures rather than homes.

Demolition and remaining facades

The first of the Seven Buildings to be razed was 1913 Pennsylvania Avenue NW which was replaced in 1898 with a new four-story building. The next three buildings, consisting of the addresses 1901-1907 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, were razed in 1959 and a large, modern office building was constructed on the site.

In 1986, the last two remaining buildings were gutted and their facades incorporated into a $4.5 million, nine-story office building.Embassy of Mexico.

Yoshio Yoshida (pilot)

Yoshio Yoshida (吉田 好雄, Yoshida Yoshio, 1921 – before 2000 was a Japanese army aviator known for achieving flying ace status against Boeing B-29 Superfortresses. Among pilots in his air group, the 70th Sentai, Yoshida downed the second-highest number of B-29s: six confirmed and one probable. He was awarded the Bukosho, the highest award given by the Imperial Japanese Army to soldiers who demonstrated (and survived) exceptionally valorous action in combat.

Career

In 1921, Yoshida was born in Hiroshima, the capital of Hiroshima Prefecture.Imperial Japanese Army Air Force Academy northwest of Tokyo. He completed his studies in March 1942 and was directed to the Akeno Fighter School to learn advanced fighter techniques. After this he was assigned to the 70th Sentai, flying the Nakajima Ki-44 Shōki, called "Tojo" by the Allies of World War II.

On 29 July 1944, American XX Bomber Command attacked Japanese military forces in Anshan, Manchuria, with 96 very heavy bombers. In August, Yoshida's air group moved to the Anshan area to provide air defense, flying the uprated Ki-44-II, with four larger 12.7 mm (.5 in) machine guns and a more powerful engine. On 8 September, 108 of the B-29s returned. The 70th Sentai rose to meet them and First Lieutenant Yoshida claimed one probable.

American B-29 groups were next directed to bomb Japan itself, so to counter the attacks the 70th Sentai was transferred in November 1944 to Kashiwa, Chiba, northeast of Tokyo. The fighter pilots were given newer 20 mm Ho-5 cannon-equipped Nakajima Ki-84 machines, called "Frank" by the Allies. In February, Captain Yoshida was made the leader of 3rd Chutai; a position he held until the end of the war in August 1945.Bukosho, his citation mentioning the bravery of the September 1944 action in the obsolescent Ki-44.

In the summer of 1945, Yoshida underwent testing to see if he was physically fit enough to fly the rocket-powered Mitsubishi J8M Shūsui, Japan's copy of the German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. The war ended before he was able to fly one of these aircraft.

Asia (1798 EIC ship)

For other ships with the same name, see Asia (East Indiaman) and Asia (ship).

Asia was launched at Liverpool in 1798. She competed four voyages for the British East India Company (EIC), and wrecked on her fifth. During the second she transported EIC troops to Macao to augment the Portuguese forces there, but the authorities there refused them permission to land. She was wrecked in 1809 on the outbound leg of a voyage to Madras and Bengal.

Career

EIC voyage #1 (1799–1800)

Captain Robert Wardlaw acquired a letter of marque on 15 March 1799. He sailed from Portsmouth on 18 June 1799, bound for Madras and Bengal. Asia reached the Cape of Good Hope on 6 September, and arrived at Kedgeree on 19 November. Homeward bound, she was at Saugor on 14 February 1800 and Madras on 15 March, reached St Helena on 8 July, and arrived at Deptford on 20 October.

EIC voyage #2 (1801–1803)

Captain Wardlaw sailed from Portsmouth on 31 March 1801, bound for Madras and Bengal. Asia reached Madras on 24 July, and arrived at Diamond Harbour on 20 August.

Macao Expedition: During the French revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars the British Government and the EIC feared that the French would capture one or more of Portugal's colonies of Goa, Damam, Diu, or Macao and use such a capture as a base for operations against Britain's possessions. Because Portugal was a British ally, the British could not invade the colonies, it could only offer assistance in the form of extra troops. In 1801 the Admiralty asked Admiral Peter Rainier, the commander of Royal Navy operations on the East Indies Station to assist the Portuguese at Macao.

Governor-General Warren Hastings decided to charter two East Indiamen, Asia and Dover Castle, to carry troops to Macao and offer the troops to the Portuguese as an augmentation of the garrison. A third vessel, the transport Rainier, would accompany the expedition.

The troops consisted of a company of the 78th Regiment of Foot, 500 men of the Bengal Marine Battalion, a company of European artillery, and a number of field and carriage guns, all under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton. HMS Romney was to provide an escort as far as the straits of Macassar.

Scolytus jacobsoni

Scolytus jacobsoni is an elm bark beetle occurring in forests of mixed broad-leaves with elm trees in Asia. In southeastern Russia, during years of outbreaks S. jacobsoni often attacks healthy trees along forest edges or standing alone along roads and in fields and gardens, making it an important pest for elm trees there. Reported hosts include Ulmus davidiana, Ulmus japonica, Ulmus laciniata, Ulmus propinqua, Carpinus betulus, and Pyrus ussuriensis.

Description

Body length is 3–5 mm long. The general color is dark-brown and shining, with lighter legs, elytra and antennae. The forehead of males is depressed and red hair covers its edges, which are curled toward the middle of the forehead. Female forehead is convex, bearing a medium longitudinal groove. Longitudinal wrinkle near the mouth and vertex punctured in both sexes.

The pronotum is somewhat longer than wide (7:6 ratio). It is covered with coarse punctures that are larger at the edges, particularly at its anterior. The length of the elytra is almost equal to their combined width. The elytra have longitudinal grooves made of large round punctures. The spaces between these grooves contain rows of smaller punctures, which are irregular on the first two inter-groove spaces, but form regular single lines on the others.

The abdomen is covered with short reddish hairs, which are denser on the first two and the last segments. The abdomen of males is concave toward the rear, with a steep depression on the second abdominal sternite, and bearing a horizontally extended finger-shaped tubercle on the middle of the posterior edge of the second abdominal sternite. This structure distinguishes it from other Russian Scolytus species. Males also have bumps on the 3rd and 4th abdominal sternites, which females lack.

Life cycle


Scolytus jacobsoni

Life cycle

The usual flight period is June–July in southeastern Russia. The female bores a vertical egg gallery (5–7 cm in length and up to 2.5 mm of diameter) below the bark of the trunk or thick branches of declining elms, either standing or fallen, including elms burned by grass fires, and also on healthy elms when beetle population is high or if the elms stand a short while away from the forest. Eggs are laid on the sides of this gallery on the inner surface of the bark. Long galleries contain about a hundred eggs. Upon hatching, larvae bore their own galleries perpendicularly from the egg galleries, close to one another, often touching adjacent larval galleries, but rarely intersecting. Larvae pupate in mid–July. Adults emerge in late July and early August. Soon after emerging, adults feed on thin young branches of elms, chew the thin bark and part of the sapwood, thus making grooves that run along or around these branches. There is usually a single generation per year. Sometimes there is a second generation, which flies in July–August, and lay eggs in mid–August. Their larvae develop in September, and reach near full larval maturity prior to the winter. Larvae overwinter. Several species of Chalcidoidea parasitoids use S. jacobsoni larvae as their host.

Distribution

This species has been reported from southeastern Russia (Primorsky Krai province and Sakhalin island), northeastern China (Heilongjiang and Liaoning provinces), and Japan.S. jacobsoni specimen caught in the wild in 2009 in the Vernon landfill in southern British Columbia, Canada, with a Lindgren funnel trap (multiple black funnels aligned vertically to mimic a tree trunk, with a collection vial at the base, to collect insects associated with trees) baited with a Scolytus multistriatus pheromones lure and an ultra high release ethanol lure. More traps were deployed in and around this area the following years but this species was never caught again.


Wrecker (film)

Wrecker is a 2015 Canadian horror film written and directed by Micheal Bafaro. It stars Anna Hutchison and Drea Whitburn as friends on a road trip who are menaced by a psychopathic tow truck driver. It premiered on November 6, 2015.

Plot

A husband and wife become stranded on a stretch of road known as Devil's Pass. When their cell phone reception cuts out, they wait for help. Elsewhere, Emily joins her friend Leslie on a road trip after she becomes frustrated with her boyfriend, whom she believes may have cheated on her. Emily drives their Ford Mustang as Leslie begins drinking their beer. At a fork, Leslie stops Emily and suggests they take Devil's Pass. After deliberating, Emily agrees.

Before long, they become stuck behind a foul-smelling tow truck that carries the earlier couple's car, a 1973 Ford Torino station wagon. Annoyed that the driver would not pull over to let them pass, Leslie curses the driver after they speed past it. As the women pull into a gas station, they see the truck follow them. Emily sees the driver's boots but nothing else. Wanting to avoid unnecessary confrontation, the women pull out without an oil change. The gas station attendant warns them to service the car soon.

The truck driver follows them and reacts aggressively to their presence, so Emily allows it to pass her. As it slows down in front of them, Emily attempts to pass it, only to be waved ahead into oncoming traffic. Shaken, the women speed ahead of it and nearly hit one of two children in a residential area. Emily and Leslie pull off the road to a diner, only to become nervous when they realize the tow truck driver is also parked there. They confront a patron they believe to be the driver, but he leaves in a pickup. A waitress asks them to leave for causing a scene, and they cautiously return to the highway.


Wrecker (film)

They find the couple's car, which the tow truck had previously been towing, abandoned on the road. The pickup driver stops to aid them, and they quickly explain their ordeal. As he helps them get the abandoned car off the road, the tow truck driver appears and hit the abandoned car with Emily in it. She quickly gets out. The women warn off the pickup truck driver and fearfully speed off. The tow truck continues following them, eventually driving them off the road with a flat tire. As the women flee on foot, Emily trips and falls on a rock, and passes out for a while. When she wakes, Leslie is gone, and the car's tire has been changed.

Not knowing what else to do, Emily returns to the road, only to become spooked by other trucks. She pulls off the road and sleeps for a while, having a nightmare about Leslie. When she wakes, she continues down Devil's Pass until a police officer stops her. Excited to find help, Emily tells the skeptical officer about the trucker. Before she can convince him, the trucker runs him over. The trucker hitches the squad car to his truck and drives off, confusing Emily. She takes the dead cop's pistol and returns to her own car, which has again ran low on gas.

Emily forgets she is holding the pistol when she stops at a gas station but uses it to force the attendant to give her gas. As she uses a pay phone to contact the police, the tow truck appears again and destroys the phone booth. Emily flees in the Mustang, which alerts her to engine trouble now that she has ignored the oil for too long. Knowing she can no longer outrun the tow truck, she engages it in a game of chicken. She drives straight toward it and the truck swerves hard enough to balance precariously off a cliff.


Wrecker (film)

Emily approaches the truck and demands to know what happened to Leslie. The trucker does not answer and continues attempting to back up from the edge. As she approaches closer, she hears a cell phone go off and runs back to the car. The ringing leads her to the trunk, which she slowly opens, dreading what she will find. She closes the trunk door after being horrified at the contents, then uses her car to ram the tow truck off the cliff. Later, in an unspecified junkyard that has the couple’s car, the police cruiser, and the pickup truck in storage, a similar tow truck menaces a driver who looks like Leslie, implying a series of paranormal events.

Production

Bafaro came up with the film's concept when he overheard two women argue at a remote gas station. He was inspired by Duel, The Vanishing, and Breakdown.Duel not to reveal the driver, saying that it makes the film "more thrilling".Duel, but said that it focused entirely on males. She was drawn to the script because it has more of a focus on females.Vancouver, Canada.Fraser Canyon near Lytton.

Release

XLrator Media released Wrecker to cinemas on November 6 and on video on demand on November 10, 2015.

Reception


Wrecker (film)

Reception

Dennis Harvey of Variety called the film a "low-budget ripoff" of Duel that suffers for the absence of both Dennis Weaver and the expected exploitative content.Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter, in comparing it negatively to Duel, wrote, "Director Bafaro shows little aptitude for the driving sequences, which are stunningly dull in their repetitiveness and lack of visual flair."Maitland McDonagh of Film Journal International wrote, "Pitched somewhere between Duel and Joy Ride, this motor-psycho picture fails to stake out new territory or ring any significant changes on a decades-old formula."Los Angeles Times also compared it negatively to Duel, saying that it reworks Duel into a film with "two nondescript heroes instead of one" and a series of boring cuts between the two vehicles.Starburst rated it 5/10 stars and wrote, "It's fast, slick and lovely to look at, but there's absolutely nothing there beneath the hood."Slant Magazine rated it 1.5/4 stars and called it "an undistinguished entry" that "offers minor pleasures" despite its lack of payoff.Dread Central rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "[T]his was one of the more repetitious, haphazardly, and ultimately boring series of chases I've seen in a long time."Ain't It Cool News wrote, "I really would rather recommend Duel any day of the week before I would tell someone they should check out Wrecker."
