Richard Austin House

The Richard Austin House is located on Croton Avenue (New York State Route 133) in the village of Ossining, New York, United States. It is a wood frame structure dating to the 1870s. In 1989 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

At the time the house was built, Ossining was beginning its transition from a country town to a commuter suburb of New York City. The Austin House is one of the few from that period of the community's history to remain completely intact, both outside and in,Ossining Historical Society, which operates a museum in the building.

Building and grounds

The house is located on a half-acre (2,000 m2) lot at the east corner of Croton and Bradshaw Drive, a short cul-de-sac in eastern Ossining. To the west and southwest is Roosevelt School, a public elementary school. Across the street, on the north side of Croton, is Ossining Gospel Assembly of God Church. East, across Bradshaw, are 20th-century houses, which otherwise predominate in this section of the village. The terrain is a level area between low hills on the east and west.

A group of mature shade trees buffer the lot along Croton. From the corner a driveway leads to a small parking lot south of the house. A flagpole is on the front lawn. A display case on the property holds an old farm wagon and an original mile marker from the Albany Post Road. These are not considered to contribute to the site's historic character. However, a well in the south yard, now covered by a large block of slate, is believed to be original to the property, and is thus the only other contributing resource to the house's Register listing.

Exterior

The main block of the house is a two-and-a-half-story, rectangular, three-bay gable-roofed wood frame structure on a brick and stone foundation. Attached to the southeast corner is a similar extension, giving the whole house an L shape. Detached from this extension is a one-story frame gabled garage.


Richard Austin House

All faces are sided in clapboard. Across the first story of the north (front) facade is a wooden veranda. Its chamfered wooden posts with scroll-sawn side brackets hold up a flat wooden roof. Stone stairs, alongside a balustraded wooden wheelchair ramp, lead up to the deck, which has a latticework wooden drape below. A similar veranda is located on the south.

On both stories, windows are set with double-hung two-over-two sash, with decorative drip-mold wooden lintels and flanking louvered wooden shutters. The attic windows are smaller and round-arched, but otherwise have the same treatment. On the rear extension's west face, the windows of a small flat-roofed projecting bay are one-over-one double-hung sash, and are matched by recessed panels in the basement beneath. The south (rear) facade of the main block has the same window treatment but a simpler, square, single-light, single-hung attic window.

Below the roofline is a simple wooden frieze. Above it the broad overhanging eaves end in a molded cornice. The roof itself is shingled in slate and pierced in the middle by three corbelled brick chimneys with stone caps.

The garage addition has a gabled roof. Its foundation is purely brick. It has three-light casement windows in the basement and large double doors with six-light windows.

Interior

An extensively molded surround frames the segmental arched main entrance. It has panelled reveals and a transom with a single light. The double doors have decorated panels below double-light hinged windows.

The main feature of the living room is its original fireplace. It has a stone hearth, black brick surround (giving way to red at the chimney). Its molded wooden surround and mantelpiece have square pilaster capitals below a frieze with a floral pattern.


Richard Austin House

Both the living and dining rooms share molded baseboards and ceilings connected to the wall with a slight cavetto. The dining's room fireplace has been covered. Its most notable decorative feature is the entryway to the projecting west bay, an elliptical arch with projecting brackets. Within the bay itself the walls have panels below the windows. The kitchen, to the south, has low vertical wainscoting and a recess for the old dumbwaiter in the rear wall. A door in its south wall leads to a section of the garage that has been renovated into living space.

A staircase with a turned and panelled newel post, octagonal at its base, and a balustrade featuring turned and fluted balusters leads up to the second floor. From there it extends along the hall to the door to the attic stairs. There are four bedrooms. The floor has a lower baseboard than the first floor and no molded detailing, but is otherwise similar to the downstairs. The master bedroom has its own bath, the dumbwaiter's upper recess, and a closet incorporating two chests, their drawers retaining their detailed handles. In the south wall of the hallway, a door leads to stairs with a molded handrail down to the kitchen. Next to it another door opens onto the rear veranda's roof.

With the exception of an east room set off by vertical boards, the attic is unfinished. Brick nogging is in between the gable studs and the rafters, where they meet the floor. Below the first floor, double bulkhead doors of paneled wood sheathed in metal under a segmental arched brick lintel lead to the basement. Inside, the basement has a concrete floor, round wooden supports and a wooden staircase to the kitchen.

The garage addition's first floor has been extensively renovated for residential purposes and does not have much of its original finish. Some traces remain, such as the stuccoed walls, tin ceilings and ceiling radiators.

History

Originally known as Sing Sing, Ossining was for its earliest years primarily a port along the Hudson River, where farmers further inland brought their crops to ship to the markets of New York City downriver. They came down the Croton Turnpike, today Route 133, or the Albany Post Road (now U.S. Route 9). The settlement became Westchester County's first incorporated village in 1813.


Richard Austin House

Development began to benefit Ossining in the next several decades. First the Post Road was relocated to the west, creating the crossroads that now centers the village's downtown. Then, later in the decade, the prison was built. A decade afterwards, in 1837, the Old Croton Aqueduct, no longer in use today but a National Historic Landmark, was built through downtown, to provide water to New York. This era was capped by the construction of the Hudson River Railroad in 1849.

Ossining was now an hour from the city by train, making it possible to work there and live in what was still the country. Within the railroad's first year it was already offering three extra trains during morning rush hour two years later it had to add another one. The combined population of the village and the surrounding Town of Ossining nearly doubled in the railroad's first six years. The Civil War in the early 1860s slowed this growth but did not stop it. By 1880, it had grown by more than 50%, to almost three times its 1850 population.

During this era Richard Austin, a local lawyer whose family had been living in the area since 1820, was one of many to recognize the potential for growth. Along with his family, he bought vacant local parcels and sold them to people who would build houses on them. Throughout the seven decades of peak development in Ossining, records show that Austin, his father and grandfather were involved in 58 real estate transactions.

In 1878, he was living on Main Street downtown, near where he worked. He decided to build a new family home on two acres (8,100 m2) then just outside the village limit, in an area where farmland was slowly giving way to middle-class housing. There were over 20 houses within a half-mile (1 km) of the site.

Austin chose to build in the Gothic Revival style's Picturesque mode. This movement had been kicked off in the 1830s by the writings of Andrew Jackson Downing, who lived further up the Hudson in Newburgh. In his pattern books, particularly The Architecture of Country Houses, he extolled the rustic simplicity of the many cottage designs as more honest and attuned to the surrounding natural landscape in a way that the Greek Revival, the preferred mode for country homes in the early 19th century, could not possibly be.


Richard Austin House

While it is a rather late application of the style, the Austin House nevertheless has the features Downing advocated. It has a single, symmetrical form with cross-gables and a full-width veranda. Ornament is not shunned but reserved for the main features of the house, such as the brackets on the veranda and the main entrance's door paneling. While it is unavoidably present, it remains simple in character, another virtue Downing sought.

The Austins lived in the house for 15 years after its construction, by which time the suburbanization of Ossining was complete. After they sold the house in 1893, it passed through other private owners. One of them built the two-and-a-half-story rear addition in 1911. In 1920, a barn that had originally been on the rear of the property was removed to a short distance away and converted into a residence. By 1930, the garage addition had been built.

There have been no other significant changes to the house. In 1970, it was sold to the Ossining Historical Society,Washington School, another National Register-listed property a mile to the west along Croton. It uses the house as its offices and a museum, open by appointment only.

PyeongChang 2018 was the successful bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympics, to be held in Pyeongchang.

Overview

After losing the bids for the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics, Gangwon Province Governor Jin-sun Kim announced in September 2007 that Pyeongchang would bid for a third time. He cited increased knowledge of the bidding process and the enthusiasm of residents as reasons to keep trying.The Chosun Ilbo on December 23, 2009, 91.4% of Koreans, 93.4% of Pyeongchang and Jeongseon residents, and 93% of Gangwon residents supported the 2018 Winter Olympics bid.Cho Yang-ho, Chairman of Hanjin Group, was appointed as the bid committee chairman in 2009, and successfully won the bid in 2011.2010 Olympic champion Kim Yuna and IOC member and Samsung Group chairman Lee Kun-hee promoted the bid.Samsung Chairman and principal owner Lee Kun-hee, given a 3-year suspended sentence for tax evasion and illegal bond dealing, was reportedly pardoned by the South Korean president Lee Myung-bak with the hope that his connections and financial support would boost the chances of Pyeongchang.

On February 16, 2011, the IOC Evaluation Commission arrived in Korea for inspection of Pyeongchang’s bid. "We have seen great progress in the bid from the two previous bids," commission chairwoman Gunilla Lindberg said. "We have also seen progress in Korean winter sports during the last four years." Speaking at the IOC news conference following the inspection of Pyeongchang and venues in Gangwon Province, Lindberg said "I must also mention the passionate support of Gangwon residents. During our site visits it has been wonderful to see so many people to show their support to bring the Olympic Movement to Korea."


Seven venues had been built since the previous bids, including ski jumping slopes, and biathlon and cross-country skiing courses. km per hour KTX line will be built between Seoul and Wonju via Pyeongchang putting Pyeongchang within 50 minutes of Seoul.

German reporter Dietmar Gessner from Sport Bild said that "in Asia including Korea you can create more customers. You can make lots of money for winter sports.."

Pyeongchang’s slogan is “New Horizons.” The bid's logo suggests the winter scenery of Pyeongchang with snow on the mountains. The curve implies a will to win and symbolizes a snowboard and slope of winter sports.

Rifle bedding

Bedding epoxy in a stock

Rifle bedding is a gunsmithing process of providing a rigid and consistent foundation for a rifle’s operational components, by creating a stable and close-fitting bearing surface between the gun's functional parts (i.e. the receiver housing the barrelled action) and its structural support (i.e. the stock) that do not deform with heat, pressure and moisture, or shift under the shear stress of the recoil from firing. The bedding process is often an aftermarket modification, and is done for the goal of accurizing the rifle and (to a lesser extent) prolonging the service life of the stock.

Purpose

Increasing accuracy

Bedding increases accuracy in part by relieving stress on the action.screws that hold the action to the stock. If the stock is wooden, it will also expand or shrink significantly with environmental changes such as temperature and moisture, which causes changes in action screw tension. These result in inconsistencies during operation, which degrades accuracy. Bedding will create a flush bearing surface for the action and prevent flexing.

Bedding also reduces minute movements of the action within the stock. Without bedding, the action may be more likely to shift after each shot. If the action shifts and does not return to same spot in the stock the rifle will lose the ability to maintain zero.

The presence of the bedding material also adds a small amount of extra height to the action, and creates more of a gap between the barrel (which is fixed to the front of the action) and the fore-end of the stock, allowing the barrel to be better floated, which helps improve accuracy.

Prolonging stock life

Bedding can help prolong the life of the stock. Repeated shearing forces from recoils can create focal wear and chips in the stock surface, and eventually ruining the stock with repeated usage. Bedding redistributes stress over a larger area, reduces shifting between the action and the stock, and creates a hardier, protective epoxy coating over the softer stock contact surface, thus protecting it from mechanical wears over time.

Methods


Rifle bedding

Methods

Bedding involves molding an epoxy-based material onto the stock recess to fill away the gaps within its contact surface with the receiver (known as glass bedding), and/or inserting a metal cylinders (which act as compression members) around the action screws to reduce compressive shifting (known as pillar bedding). The receiver and the stock are sometimes fastened indirectly through an intermediate piece (usually made of rigid materials such as aluminium alloy) known as a bedding block, which multifunctionally serves as a larger pillar, a bedding surface and even recoil lugs. The contact interface on the stock may also be substituted by a metallic bedding frame known as a chassis, which is either embedded within the stock, or even completely replacing the stock like the lower receiver on many modern modular semi-automatic rifles.

Skim bedding refers to an adjustment of a glass bedding job, usually after wear and tear from use, which consists of removing a small layer of the bedding material — usually up to around 3 mm (0.12 in) — and adding new bedding material on top of that.

Several different bedding methods can be used depending on the type of stock, desired results and level of experience of the person attempting to perform the bedding. Methods include:

  * Full contact bedding of the action with the barrel floated.
  * Full contact bedding of the action and the barrel.
  * Full contact bedding of the action with a pressure-bearing pad for the barrel.
  * Pillar bedding of the action with the barrel floated.
  * Full length aluminum action bedding block.

Full contact bedding of the action with the barrel floated is a very common method for long range rifles with a heavy barrel. A free-floating barrel will generally produce the greatest accuracy. However, a pressure pad under the barrel just forward of the action can sometimes improve accuracy by acting on barrel harmonics and reducing stress on the action from the weight of the barrel. Pillar bedding can be used to float the action as well as the barrel, but the process is more difficult.

Precautions


Rifle bedding

Precautions

If performed improperly, bedding can destroy a rifle. Mechanical locking occurs when bedding material is allowed to harden in holes or around protrusions on the action. If locking occurs, the action can be permanently fixed to the stock. Extreme measures may have to be taken to separate the stock from the action, possibly destroying one or both. Improperly applied or insufficient release agent can cause the bedding material to bind to the metal. If the trigger assembly is not removed prior to bedding, epoxy can seep into the trigger assembly and ruin it.

Promotion

No music video was created for the single, although the song was part of the band's live set around the time of the album's release.

On August 25, 2003, the band performed the song live on Seattle EMP TV, along with "I Want You to Want Me", "Scent of a Woman" and "Surrender".

Critical reception

Upon release, The Buffalo News described the song as "pure, irresistible pop".Dallas Morning News noted: "The harmonies on "Words" are very Beatles, while "Too Much" evokes John Lennon in his post-Beatles solo days".Las Cruces Sun-News felt that "Too Much" was "one of their most effective ballads".Star-News called the song "dynamic".

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel noted: "For three days, I didn't leave my house cuz I was obsessed with first "Words" and later "Too Much." Robin never stops aching and yearning and the diminishing minor chords ala George Harrison guitars will saw your soul in half. The band basically lays back – mean, lean and pretty from top to back – and lets Robin's voice carry the tunes."Lexington Herald Leader stated: "Zander sounds as comfortable with the light stroll of "Too Much" as he does with the raise-the-dead scream of "If I Could"."

KNAC wrote: "..."Too Much," "My Obsession" and the title track prolong the boredom even further and find this once ferocious band sounding as tame and declawed as ever."MelodicRock.com commented: "Despite the tempo drop, the song works really well here and is a great feel good mid-tempo pop track that would have been right at home on Zander's solo album. Another possible radio hit."Chicago Tribune felt the song was one of a number of tracks on Special One to be "replete with worn, lumbering melodies", and added the melody that been "stolen" from '70s soul group The Three Degrees.

Pye v. Renshaw

Pye v. Renshaw,High Court of Australia case that deals with the interaction between section 51(xxxi) of the Constitution,section 96 of the Constitution (the grants power).

This case followed from P. J. Magennis Pty. Ltd. v. Commonwealth, which held that a Commonwealth law to purchase land via the New South Wales government was invalid. The Commonwealth amended the law, such that the reference to acquisition of land was removed.

The Court held that the law was valid; thus, the Commonwealth was able to get around the restrictions in section 51(xxxi) by ensuring that the law could not be characterised as land acquisition. Hence, section 51(xxxi) does not restrict the section 96 grants power.

Limonia hudsonica

Limonia hudsonica is a species of limoniid crane fly in the family Limoniidae.


Parkstadion

Parkstadion (German pronunciation: [ˈpaʁkˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn] (listen)) was a multi-purpose stadium in Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, that is no longer used to host any major events. The stadium was built in 1973 and hosted five matches of the 1974 FIFA World Cup.

During the 1974 FIFA World Cup, Yugoslavia set the record for the biggest win ever at a FIFA World Cup with a 9–0 hammering of Zaire.

Michael Jackson performed at the stadium during his Bad World Tour on 4 September 1988 and during his HIStory World Tour on 15 June 1997. He was also scheduled to perform at the stadium on 6 September 1992 on his Dangerous World Tour, but cancelled due to ill health.

The Rolling Stones performed at the stadium during their Urban Jungle Tour on 16 August 1990 and during their Bridges To Babylon Tour on 27 July 1998.

Pink Floyd performed at the stadium during The Division Bell Tour on 23 August 1994.

It was the home ground of football club FC Schalke 04 until May 2001, before the newly built and adjacent Arena AufSchalke opened in July of the same year.

The stadium hosted two UEFA Euro 1988 fixtures (West Germany v Denmark, and The Netherlands v the Republic of Ireland), as well as the first leg of the 1997 UEFA Cup Final between Schalke and Internazionale.

The last competitive football match played in the stadium was a Bundesliga fixture between Schalke and SpVgg Unterhaching on 19 May 2001. The match was attended by approximately 65,000 people. At the end of the match, after a difficult 5–3 win against SpVgg Unterhaching, and thanks to a last minute goal scored by Hamburg SV against Bayern Munich, the crowd celebrated Schalke's first Bundesliga title before Patrik Andersson equalized in the additional time for Bayern, made Bayern retain the title and instantly killed the joy of the fans celebrating in Parkstadion.

The stadium is now partly demolished and the Jumbotron that was placed atop of the northern stand was donated to Erzgebirgsstadion in Aue, where it was installed during the renovations of the stadium in 2004.

Too Much (Blondie song)

"Too Much" is a song by the American rock band Blondie, written by Matthew Katz-Bohen and Laurel Katz-Bohen. It was released as the third single from their eleventh studio album Pollinator on June 12, 2017, in European countries as a CD single, as well as a digital download.

Background and cover art

The song was recorded in 2016, and was one of the first songs recorded for Pollinator. Lyrically, it is about recovering after a breakup after thinking that the relationship was meant to last and picking up the pieces and leaving, still remaining in love. The cover art released for the single is exactly the same blue version of the album cover used for the artwork of the promotional single "Tonight."

Critical reception

"Too Much" met with critical acclaim, as did the previous Pollinator's singles. The Key claims "Pierced with synths and one of the catchiest hooks on the record, “Too Much” is another contemporary classic." Mushroom Promotions states that this song "proves Blondie continues to evolve almost song by song."Under the Radar Magazine called it "slick and sticky," and "has little to offer outside of the chorus."Rate Your Music.

Wilfred Benítez vs. Sugar Ray Leonard

Wilfred Benítez vs. Sugar Ray Leonard was a professional boxing match contested on November 30, 1979, for the WBC and The Ring welterweight titles.

Background

In late 1979 Top Rank promoter Bob Arum would organize a two-city boxing event (with one card apiece taking place in Nevada's Caesars Palace and New Orleans' Superdome) headlined by an anticipated bout between reigning WBC welterweight champion Wilfred Benítez and "Sugar" Ray Leonard. Benitez had won the title earlier in the year, becoming a 2-division champion at only 21 years old, whilst Leonard had won all 27 of his fights after turning pro following an Olympic gold medal in 1976 and had emerged as a top contender for the welterweight title and one of boxing's most popular fighters. In addition to the Benitez–Leonard bout, the card in also featured Vito Antuofermo defending his undisputed middleweight title against Marvin Hagler and a WBA light heavyweight title fight between Victor Galindez and Marvin Johnson

Benítez's father and trainer Gregorio would write an article for The Ring magazine titled "Why Benitez Will Lose His Title" in which he claimed his son was not training hard enough for the fight and stating that he wouldn't work his son's corner "Even if they gave me $200,000." Gregorio would later admit that he had written the article to motivate his son for the fight.

Benitez was scheduled to earn $1.2 million while Leonard would net $1 million, making their fight the richest non-heavyweight bout in boxing history at the time.

Wilfred Benítez vs. Sugar Ray Leonard

The fight

In a close, tactical fight, Leonard would ultimately score a technical knockout with only six seconds remaining in the 15th and final round. Leonard would score the only two knockdowns of the fight, first sending Benítez down on the seat of his pants with a well-timed left jab in the third round. The second would come in the 15th round. With Benítez behind on the scorecards, he fought aggressively though Leonard was able to hold his ground and go toe-to-toe with the champion. With 30 seconds remaining in the round, a Leonard left uppercut sent Benítez down on his knees. Though clearly hurt, Benítez was able to get back up and continue, but after Leonard landed two more punches, the referee would stop the fight and Leonard was named the winner by technical knockout at 2:54 of round 15. At the time of the stoppage, Leonard was ahead on all three of the judge's scorecards with scores of 137–133, 137–130 and 136–134

Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium

The Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium (Korean: 평창 올림픽 스타디움) was a temporary venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Pyeongchang County, Gangwon Province, South Korea. The stadium was demolished after the Games.

Background

It was located in Daegwallyeong-myeon, in the precinct of the Pyeongchang Olympic Plaza, about 2 km (1.2 mi) northeast of Alpensia Resort.

To limit its costs, the stadium had no roof or a central heating system. It cost ₩116 billion ($109 million).58,790 square meters (632,800 sq ft) and its circular stage had a diameter of 72-meter (236 ft)

Built on an 80,000 square meters (860,000 sq ft) site in Hoenggye, it was the final major structure built for these Games. The approximate elevation was 740 meters (2,430 ft) above sea level.

Adjacent to the stadium was an Olympic exhibition hall, traditional food markets, and other attractions, which would remain as heritage facilities and the medal plaza which hosted medal ceremonies.

History

In the bid book of PyeongChang 2018, the Opening and Closing Ceremonies were planned to take place in Alpensia Ski Jumping Stadium. As they did not plan to build an Olympic Stadium and so a plan similar to the one developed by Lillehammer for the 1994 Winter Olympics was presented. However, in July 2012, the POCOG announced some changes to the project and the venues plan and the ceremonies were moved to Hoenggye.

The construction of the stadium which took one year and ten months was completed on 30 September 2017.

The stadium only hosted five events before it was demolished, beginning with the Dream Concert—a special K-pop concert on 4 November 2017 to mark 100 days remaining before the opening ceremonies.opening and closing ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Olympics, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Paralympics.

Limonin

Not to be confused with Limonene.

Limonin is a limonoid, and a bitter, white, crystalline substance found in citrus and other plants. It is also known as limonoate D-ring-lactone and limonoic acid di-delta-lactone. Chemically, it is a member of the class of compounds known as furanolactones.

Limonin is enriched in citrus fruits and is often found at higher concentrations in seeds, for example orange and lemon seeds.

Presence in citrus products

Limonin and other limonoid compounds contribute to the bitter taste of some citrus food products. Researchers have proposed removal of limonoids from orange juice and other products (known as "debittering") through the use of polymeric films.

Research

Limonin is under basic research to assess its possible biological properties.

Polyptychoceras

Polyptychoceras is an extinct genus of ammonites from the Late Cretaceous of Asia, Europe, and NorthSouth America. It was first named by Hisakatsu Yabe in 1927.

Species and subspecies

This genus contains the following eight species and one subgenus, Subtychoceras, which contains one species.

  * Polyptychoceras mihoense
  * Polyptychoceras pseudogaultinum, could reach a length of 100 – 120 mm
  * Polyptychoceras haradanum (Yokoyama)
  * Polyptychoceras obatai
  * Polyptychoceras obliquecostatum
  * Polyptychoceras subunduratum

  * Polyptychoceras vancouverensis, located around the Trent and Puntledge Rivers.
  * Polyptychoceras (Subptychoceras) yubarense, could reach a maximum length of 200 mm

Description

Fossil shell of Polyptychoceras on display at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano

Polyptychoceras is a heteromorph ammonite, meaning that its shell does not curl up into the tight spiral shape which shells of ammonites from the subclass Ammonoidea typically do.

Polyptychoceras shells have an abrupt weight increase after formation of the initial shaft, which represents the shell's automatic balance condition.

Although the shafts in the fossils of the shells are usually parallel to each other, small aberrations during each growth stage often caused abrupt constrictions in the shape of the shell.

Life

A Japanese study in 1979 suggested that Polyptychoceras lived and travelled in schools, similarly to modern cuttlefish.Polyptychoceras are frequently found in sediments laid down in the same bed of water, around the Santonian and Upper Coniacian faunal stages of the Late Cretaceous Epoch.Polyptychoceras was probably buoyant, and swam in a slow, somewhat up-and-down locomotion.Subptychoceras yubarense was likely very long like an eel,benthic mode of life.

Distribution

Kayla Mendoza

Kayla Mendoza is an American woman who was sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2015 after being convicted of killing two women while driving drunk in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 17, 2013. She was 20 years old and not licensed to drive at the time. Mendoza is infamously known for tweeting: "2 drunk 2 care" hours before the fatal accident.

Crash and sentence

On the night of November 16, 2013, Mendoza, who was 20 years old at the time, went with her manager and co-workers from her job at a T-Mobile US store to the Tijuana Taxi Co., a local bar in Coral Springs, where she reportedly drank two "fishbowl" margaritas. Hours later, she got into a Hyundai Sonata and drove into the Sawgrass Expresswey the wrong way at 80 mph before colliding with a 2012 Toyota Camry driven by Kaitlyn Ferrante and Marisa Catronio, both aged 21, just after 1:45 a.m. on November 17. Catronio was instantly killed in the crash while Ferrante died in the hospital days later.

Hours before the crash, Mendoza posted: "2 drunk 2 care" on her Twitter account. She had proclaimed herself as a "pothead princess" on her account and posted quotes indicating her addiction to alcohol and marijuana, such as: "My car permanently smells like weed" and "I really am so baked right now".

The families of Ferrante and Catronio filed lawsuits against Mendoza, Reyes, The Tijuana Taxi Co., and the T-Mobile store Mendoza was employed to.

On May 4, 2015, two months after pleading guilty of two DUI manslaughter charges, Mendoza was sentenced to 24 years in prison. In addition, she will serve six years of probation after her sentence and she is permanently banned from driving a motor vehicle.

Aftermath

Gary Catronio and his wife founded Marisa's Way, named after their daughter. Marisa's Way aims to educate teenagers on the consequences of drunk or distracted driving.

Mayoworth is on the North Fork of the Powder River, which experienced severe flooding in 1992.

The Mayoworth Number Ten clay mine is just to the northwest of town.

Barnum is several miles south of Mayoworth, and Big Trails is the nearest place over the Bighorn range.

History

Nearby Dull Knife Battlefield is the site of an 1876 battle between the U.S. Army and Cheyenne.

From the late 1860s to about 1910, the Hole-in-the-Wall mountain pass was used by outlaws such as Butch Cassidy. Several gangs kept a cabin nearby.

Mayoworth is named after Mae Marie Jones and William Worthington Morgareidge. It’s a combination of their two names.

Warren-Lambert

Warren-Lambert 11 hp (1920)

The Warren-Lambert Engineering Co. Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer that was established from 1912 to 1922 in Richmond, then in Surrey (now part of London). A. Warren Lambert (his name had no hyphen but the car's name did), was an agent for Morgan cars in Putney which he also raced. In 1912 he designed and started to manufacture a two-seat four-wheel cyclecar from premises in Uxbridge Road, Shepherd's Bush. It was well received and around 25 cars a week were being made.

The first car made in 1912 was a two-cylinder cyclecar with an engine made by Precision rated at 9 hp. In 1914 it was replaced by a 1093cc 10 hp four-cylinder Dorman engined model. With the outbreak of World War I car production was discontinued in 1915. Around 200 cars had been made.

After the armistice in 1919 the company moved to Richmond and a new 11 hp model came out with a four-cylinder engine made by Alpha that had a displacement of 1331 cc. Like the pre-war cars it was a two-seater. A three- or four-speed transmission made by Moss was fitted driving the rear wheels but with no differential gear. The chassis had half elliptic leaf springs at the front and quarter elliptic at the rear and the brakes used rather primitive metal shoes. The 65 mph Sports version with a Coventry-Simplex engine of 1498 cc capacity had quarter elliptic leaf springs all round. A Dorman engined model was introduced in 1921 but it is believed that only two were made.

The last cars were made in 1921.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN 2B) is a genetic disease that causes multiple tumors on the mouth, eyes, and endocrine glands. It is the most severe type of multiple endocrine neoplasia,Wagenmann in 1922,

MEN 2B typically manifests before a child is 10 years old. Affected individuals tend to be tall and lanky, with an elongated face and protruding, blubbery lips. Benign tumors (neoplasms) develop in the mouth, eyes, and submucosa of almost all organs in the first decade of life.Medullary thyroid cancer almost always occurs, sometimes in infancy. It is often aggressive. Cancer of the adrenal glands (pheochromocytoma) occurs in 50% of cases.

A variety of eponyms have been proposed for MEN 2B, such as Williams-Pollock syndrome, Gorlin-Vickers syndrome, and Wagenmann-Froboese syndrome. However, none ever gained sufficient traction to merit continued use, and they are no longer used in the medical literature.

The prevalence of MEN2B is not well established, but has been derived from other epidemiological considerations as 1 in 600,000

Signs and symptoms

The most common clinical features of MEN2B are:

  * a tall, thin, "marfanoid" body build, in which long bones are disproportionately elongated;
  * masses beneath mucosal surfaces in the mouth, lips, and eyes (discussed below);
  * low muscle mass, sometimes with myopathy;
  * gastrointestinal complaints, especially constipation;
  * symptoms derived from medullary carcinoma of the thyroid;
  * symptoms derived from pheochromocytoma;
  * craniosynostosis;
  * dry eyes or lack of tears;
  * delayed puberty.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B

Histologically, neuromata contain a characteristic adventitious plaque of tissue composed of hyperplastic, interlacing bands of Schwann cells and myelinated fibers overlay the posterior columns of the spinal cord.perineurium, intertwined with one another in a plexiform pattern. This tortuous pattern of nerves is seen within a background of loose endoneurium-like fibrous stroma.

Causes

Variations in the RET proto-oncogene cause MEN2B. In recent decades no case of MEN2B has been reported that lacks such a variation. The M918T variant alone is responsible for approximately 95% of cases.transforming growth factor beta signaling system.

About half of cases are inherited from a parent as an autosomal dominant trait. The other half appear to be spontaneous mutations,

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

DNA testing is now the preferred method of establishing a diagnosis for MEN 2B, and is thought to be almost 100% sensitive and specific. Gordon et al. reported cases of a difference disease—the "multiple mucosal neuroma syndrome"—having the physical phenotype of MEN2B, but without variations in the RET gene and without malignancy.

MEN2B should be entertained as a diagnosis whenever a person is found to have either medullary thyroid carcinoma or pheochromocytoma. Before DNA testing became available, measurement of serum calcitonin was the most important laboratory test for MEN2B. Calcitonin is produced by the "C" cells of the thyroid, which, because they are always hyperplastic or malignant in MEN2B, produce more calcitonin than normal. Calcitonin levels remain a valuable marker to detect recurrence of medullary thyroid carcinoma after thyroidectomy.


Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B

Luxol fast blue staining identifies myelin sheathing of some fibers, and lesional cells react immunohistochemically for S-100 protein, collagen type IV, vimentin, NSE, and neural filaments. More mature lesions will react also for EMA, indicating a certain amount of perineurial differentiation. Early lesions, rich in acid mucopolysaccharides, stain positively with alcian blue. When medullary thyroid cancer is present, levels of the hormone calcitonin are elevated in serum and urine.traumatic neuroma, but the streaming fascicles of mucosal neuroma are usually more uniform and the intertwining nerves of the traumatic neuroma lack the thick perineurium of the mucosal neuroma.

Treatment

Without treatment, persons with MEN2B die prematurely. Details are lacking, owing to the absence of formal studies, but it is generally assumed that death in the 30s is typical unless prophylactic thyroidectomy and surveillance for pheochromocytoma are performed (see below). The range is quite variable, however: death early in childhood can occur, and a few untreated persons have been diagnosed in their 50s.

Thyroidectomy is the mainstay of treatment, and should be performed without delay as soon as a diagnosis of MEN2B is made, even if no malignancy is detectable in the thyroid. Without thyroidectomy, almost all patients with MEN2B develop medullary thyroid cancer, in a more aggressive form than MEN 2A.metastasize before age 10.

Pheochromocytoma - a hormone secreting tumor of the adrenal glands - is also present in 50% of cases.

Because prophylactic thyroidectomy improves survival, blood relatives of a person with MEN2B should be evaluated for MEN2B, even if lacking the typical signs and symptoms of the disorder.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B

Society and culture

Abraham Lincoln hypothesis

In 2007, Dr. John Sotos proposed that President Abraham Lincoln had MEN2B.marfan-like body habitus, large, bumpy lips, constipation, muscular hypotonia, a history compatible with cancer and a family history of the disorder - his sons Eddie, Willie, and Tad, and probably his mother. The "mole" on Lincoln's right cheek, the asymmetry of his face, his large jaw, his drooping eyelid, and "pseudo-depression" are also suggested as manifestations of MEN2B. Lincoln's longevity (dying at 56 of a gunshot wound and without any apparent suggestion of ill health otherwise) is the principal challenge to the MEN2B theory, which could be proven by DNA testing.

Otto Schimming

Otto Ferdinand Schimming (19 November 1908 – 7 December 2005) was a Namibian teacher and early independence activist. He was the first black teacher in Namibia when he founded the Rietquelle School.Katutura is named after him.

Personal

The son of a German Schutztruppe soldier and a Herero mother, Schimming was born in 1908 during imperial German rule of Namibia.Otjivero where he lived with Clemens Kapuuo's sister. By the age of 10, Schimming could speak three languages.

In 1940, Schimming married Charlotte Frier, a Damara-speaker and lived with her and their three children in the Old Location of Windhoek. Shortly after the marriage, the couple had their fourth child and they soon moved to a series of different farms across the country, including ones in Grootfontein, Gobabis, Rehoboth, Seeis, Windhoek and Okahandja before settling near Witvlei - where three of his surviving daughters are still farming today. All of Schimming's children received post-secondary education in South Africa, causing suspicion of thievery by the White South African authorities and regular raids of the household in search of stolen diamonds.

During the Old Location massacre on 10 December 1959, Schimming and his wife were in Cape Town attending the graduation of his son and son-in-law who are medical doctors.Ottilie Abrahams and her husband Kenneth Abrahams had moved to Rehoboth in 1962, he took his son-in-law and others to hide away in caves, after nearly being arrested by the South Africans for their political activities, on his farm in the Rehoboth area before transporting them to Botswana.Nora Schimming-Chase.

Schimming died on 7 December 2005 and is buried at De Rus (or Schimmings Rust) on the family farm near Rehoboth. At the time of his death, he was survived by three children, 17 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

He received an education from missionaries and eventually studied education at Lovedale Mission Station in South Africa. Upon completing his education at Lovedale, Schimming returned to South West Africa and was urged by Chief Hosea Kutako to start a school for Herero-speaking children in Aminuis. The Rietquelle School was founded and for a time, Schimming was the school's only teacher.Herero Chiefs Council and secretary to Kutako. In that position, Schimming drafted the first letter to the United Nations protesting the proposed formal incorporation of the then South West Africa into South Africa.Windhoek's municipality because of his skill with languages. He could speak Afrikaans, German, Damara and Nama, Herero, Oshiwambo, English, Xhosa and Latin.

Virginia (Montero)

Virginia (1873) is an opera in four acts with music by Venezuelan composer José Ángel Montero and libretto, in Italian, by Domenico Bancalari. It is believed to be the first opera ever composed in Venezuela, and was first performed in the Teatro Caracas on April 26, 1873. The plot of the opera deals with despotic power and social injustice.

In 1969, the opera was revived in the Teatro Municipal de Caracas with the soprano Fedora Alemán in the title role. Later it was recorded, and revived again in July 2003, in a setting by the Compañía Nacional de Ópera Alfredo Sadel and the Teresa Carreño Cultural Complex, with Elizabeth Almenar, Cayito Aponte and Amelia Salazar in the principal roles.
