Washington Post critic Mike Joyce noted that "DeVaughn wears his influences with engaging style and brash confidence throughout the entire album, turning his major label debut into something worthy of soul music's major leagues [...] His gift for imaginatively arranging vocal tracks is enough to make him a welcome presence on the airwaves for years to come."Billboard compared DeVaughn to fellow R&B singer D'Angelo and questioned of he could he replace the latter, writing that "armed with a collection of songs steeped in promises of unconditional adoration and detailing steamy lovemaking sessions, DeVaughn proves himself a worthy contender."


The Love Experience

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found that "through numerous highlights scattered across the disc, it becomes apparent that DeVaughn is remarkably creative and talented and should be watched." While he was critical with the album's length, he praised DeVaughn's vocal performance and the production on the album, further writing: "Vocally, he's not too far from Dwele, with smooth, sweet tones that often drift into an even sweeter falsetto, though he could use a little of his peer's lyrical subtleties. His voice immediately pulls you in, so the shortcoming isn't as much of a factor as it would be with a singer of lesser skill. Most of his inspirations dwell in the '70s, favoring spare arrangements and elegant string flourishes over dramatic bombast and piercing keyboard stabs."

Presquile Plantation was a plantation located in southeastern Chesterfield County, Virginia built in the mid 18th century probably by Richard Randolph II of Curles, a grandson of William Randolph the Immigrant.Mary Randolph. Unfortunately, the couple did not live at Presquile for long, as the land surrounding it was extremely swampy and did not promote good health. In 1798 they moved to Richmond and lived in a grand mansion called Moldavia.

The next owner of Presquile was Abner Osborne of Nottoway County, who bought the property for £5,000 in 1801.Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries to be used as a wildlife preserve. The following year the land was passed to the US Department of the Interior and is today managed by the National Park Service as the Presquile National Wildlife Refuge. The house at Presquile was originally used by the park staff until a new dwelling nearby was built. In 1964, a historical consultant for the park service stated that he believed that the house had been built after the Civil War (when in reality it was 100 years older) and thus the 200 year old house was demolished.

The Chief received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 73, based on 9 reviews.Exclaim! said, "Just as Jidenna uses hip-hop music to convey the story of an immigrant, he reaches across the globe to pull from seemingly disparate genres as he tells his tales. Surprisingly, Jidenna makes it work, commanding the listener's attention from start to finish."XXL said, "The project gives Jidenna an identity that any artist aspires to: someone who makes pretty damn good music. He’ll still have to continue to get listeners familiar with what makes the man behind the music tick, but The Chief is an admirable beginning to what appears to be a blossoming career."HipHopDX said, "While The Chief sets him up for a more focused second effort, Jidenna’s genre-hopping album is merely a sliver of his versatility as an entertainer."AllMusic said, "What's thrown, including tepid trap beats, passable tropical pop-house, and overly fanciful retro-contemporary touches, doesn't always stick, yet Jidenna's charismatic flair and sharp writing make almost all of it entertaining, rarely dull. In a way, he's a Kid Creole for the 2010s, mixing and matching old and new cross-continental sounds with a twinkle in his eye, a glide in his stride, and a special knack for storybook-style narration."Pitchfork said, A versatile dandy, Jidenna tries on many different musical styles with his debut album—but all that changing quickly grows tiresome."

Commercial performance

The Chief debuted at number 38 on the Billboard 200, selling 13,312 album equivalent units, and 8,387 pure album copies in the first week.

History

Originally, there were five bars in Bombay Beach.American Legion.1950s cover songs there.video poker machine.

A visitor to the Inn in early 2019 filed this description:

The Ski Inn has lasted this long thanks mainly to snowbirds; retired folks in RVs seeking a mild winter at mineral bath resorts a few miles uphill. Groups will show up at the Ski Inn to chat over beers, and keep up a habit that started in the 1950s, when vacationers would write their names on dollar bills and stick them to the walls. Decades on, uncounted thousands of dollar bills plaster the place like wallpaper, covering every wall, door, ceiling, and even ceiling fan blade."

Reception

Dollar bills cover the interior.

Desert Magazine said the Ski Inn was one of the "only alive places I notice in this ghost town" and "worth a stop: Have a beer and hear some stories of the sea’s days gone by."LA Weekly's Hayley Fox called it a "charismatic dive" and recommended having "a beer and a burger."Palm Springs Life's Karen Graninger implored that "the cheeseburger and potato salad will fill you up nicely."KCET's Sandi Hemmerlein liked it for the "patty melt and exploring the remains of the town that have been consumed by floods and sand."

Vice's Jamie Lee Curtis Taete reviewed their meal with "The grilled cheese tasted exactly like the fries, which tasted exactly like the salad. Literally every dish on my plate tasted exactly like accidentally swallowing bath water."The Independent's Tim Walker remarked "It boasts a passable $5 burger and a handful of friendly, elderly regulars: the men and women who stayed when the world went away."Time Out Los Angeles's Kate Wertheimer suggested to "stop by for a drink or a greasy bite and decorate a dollar bill to hang on the wall or ceiling."

The Love Car Displacement

"The Love Car Displacement" is an episode of the television series The Big Bang Theory that first aired on CBS on January 20, 2011.Rick Fox.

Plot

Amy asks Penny to join her and the guys on a trip to a science conference in Big Sur, California. At first, Penny declines; however, after hearing it includes spa treatment, she changes her mind. Before they get on the road, Sheldon, elected "travel supervisor" by the others after threatening to filibuster, sets up an extensive program, deciding where and when they take breaks, and seating arrangements. Amy convinces Sheldon to let Penny ride in the lead car with them and Leonard, as Penny's "Nebraska backwoods skills and brawny hands" could help if their car breaks down.

After Penny criticizes Sheldon's rules, she is made to ride with Howard, Raj and Bernadette in the other car, where Howard and Bernadette discuss their sexual plans and sing constantly, annoying the other two. At the hotel check-in, Bernadette spots Glenn (Rick Fox), her former college professor and ex-boyfriend. Howard feels intimidated by the physically-imposing Glenn, and insecurely complains to Bernadette, accidentally implying that Glenn is too hot for her. An angered Bernadette decides to stay in Amy's and Penny's room.

Penny asks to sleep in Sheldon and Leonard's room due to Amy's nightmare post-effects: biting and scratching. Leonard accepts and the two climb into his bed together. Leonard tries to coax her into sex. During this exchange, Sheldon awakens, asking them if they are going to have sex. They both give different answers; Leonard saying yes while Penny saying no, prompting Sheldon to leave and seek shelter in Raj's room, where Raj is about to watch Bridget Jones's Diary. Sheldon eventually kicks Raj out of his room due to him waking him up with the movie, so Raj gets the key to Leonard's room where he and Penny are, at her suggestion, starting to have sex. Leonard rejects Raj's offer to watch Bridget Jones, so Raj crawls into the other bed to sleep, destroying the atmosphere for Leonard and Penny.


The Love Car Displacement

The next morning, Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj, Bernadette, and Amy speak at the conference. After a fairly normal start, they all begin to discuss the events of last night, with Leonard upset about Raj walking in on him and Penny, and Howard and Bernadette still fighting, with Sheldon being the "normal", professional one, staying out of the bickering. To make matters worse, Raj's drunkenness starts to get the best of him and a frustrated Penny searches for someone in the audience to drive her back to Los Angeles, and leaves with Glenn, much to Leonard's dismay.

The others drive back to Pasadena in low spirits the next day. Howard and Bernadette are still not speaking, and a police car pursues Leonard as he is speeding, bothered by Penny leaving with Glenn.

Reception

On the night of its first broadcast on January 20, 2011, the episode was watched by 13.63 million households.

IGN's Jenna Busch gave the episode a mixed review stating that "the episode was really a bit cheesy" and that she "didn't like the framework". She did, however, praise several character moments including Melissa Rauch's portrayal of Bernadette saying, "Bernadette was wonderful, as always. She's just so adorable, I could see her dating Rick Fox". Busch summed up by writing "There were definitely funny moments here, but that zing was missing tonight".TV Fanatic gave the episode a more positive review saying that "The brilliance of the show, as I've said before, is when Penny and Sheldon interact, but it's even striking a chord each time Penny and Amy are thrown together". Kirkpatrick also praised Kaley Cuoco as Penny, he wrote: "Kaley Cuoco is a very gifted comedienne, and her reactions to the nuttiness of the supposedly genius minds around her are always my favorite parts of every episode".

Presquile National Wildlife Refuge

This article is about the Virginia location. For other areas, see Presque Isle.

Presquile National Wildlife Refuge in the U.S. state of Virginia is one of four refuges that make up the Eastern Virginia Rivers National Wildlife Refuge Complex. It is managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The refuge is a 1,329-acre (5.38 km2) island in the James River, located approximately 20 miles (32 km) south of Richmond. It is located in the easternmost part of Chesterfield County, northeast of Hopewell.

In 1953, A. D Williams, a Richmond tobacco magnate, willed a parcel of land called Presquile to the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries for use as a wildlife refuge

Established to protect habitat for wintering waterfowl and other migratory birds, Presquile is an important component in the network of refuges on and around the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States. Presquile historically provided important habitat for wintering Canada geese that breed along James Bay in eastern Canada. The refuge is also home to nesting and roosting bald eagles. The refuge is primarily hardwood swamp, with a fringe of marsh and 300 acres (1.2 km2) of upland fields.

Raffaele Venusti

Raffaele Venusti (or Venosta) was an Italian Catholic apologist.

Biography

He was born at Tirano, Valtellina, northern Italy, about the end of the fifteenth century. He joined the Canons Regular of SS. Salvatore, devoting himself to theological and canonical studies, and winning fame as a powerful Catholic controversialist against the Lutherans and Calvinists.

When the discussion concerning the divorce of Henry VIII of England arose, Venusti was invited both by the king and by the Habsburg Emperor Charles V, the protector of Catherine of Aragon, to write an expression of his views on the question.

He died at Venice in 1543.

Writings

His polemical and apologetic works were printed in 1543; they treat of the Catholic doctrine as opposed to Protestantism, especially of the notes of the Church of Rome, free will, the councils etc.

These writings have a special historical value as representing the first phase of anti-Lutheran, anti-Calvinistic Catholic polemics, a phase which gave way later to the writings of Catholic theologians like Melchior Cano and the early Jesuit theologians. This class to which Venusti belonged is, in theology, parallel to the group of Catholic apologists in the field of history, who were predecessors of Baronius in his controversies with the Protestant Centuriators of Magdeburg.

Ravenswood, Ipswich

Part of Bonny Crescent, overlooking the Cricket pitch in Ravenswood.

Ravenswood is a district within Ipswich, in the Ipswich district, in the county of Suffolk, England. It is sited on the old Ipswich Airport to the south-east of the town. The area has grown rapidly due to private housing development. The old airport building has been transformed into small flats, and part of the terminal has been redeveloped for commercial purposes.

1172 homes have been built on the site so far, with a few hundred more to be built in the coming years, along with a planned sports park. The estate is bound to the north by Nacton Road, bound to the west and south west by Gainsborough Sports Centre and the Orwell County Park. It is also bound to the south by the A14 and a disused airport access road.

Construction

The development was planned to be environmentally sensitive. Space for cars is limited, with traffic calming measures and frequent bus service links to the town centre. Mixed cycle paths and walkways are also a feature. Incorporated into the design of the buildings and sewers is a sustainable urban drainage system which allows rainfall to be returned to the environment without going through the sewerage system.

A number of pieces of public art have been installed: "Formation" by Rick Kirby at the entrance, designed to commemorate the areas links with aviation; "Handstanding" by Martin Heron near the school; "Green Wind 2" by Diane Maclean as a focal point beyond the end of Downham Boulevard on the Tump; and "Propeller" by Harry Gray has been placed adjacent to the green.

The estate was fully built by Persimmon plc and Bellway, as well as Charles Church to the South of the estate. 4 restaurants have also been constructed at the entrance of the estate.


Ravenswood, Ipswich

In Autumn 2019, a resident discovered an untapped fund for community projects from Bellway , who built much of the housing on the estate, which totalled about £60000.The Tump on the nearby Brazier’s Wood . More recently, a new fencing project by Ipswich Borough Council has closed off some of the nearby meadows to help safeguard Rare Skylarks from human activity and disturbance. The area is also a habitat for Muntjac deer , ladybirds and lizards due to the grassland and heathland habitats being suitable for wildlife.

At the end of 2019, plans for The Stephen Hawking Neurological Centre next to Bluebird lodge along the South of the estate. It has a planned capacity of 24 residents and will be a local centre for the charity running the site. As of December 2021, no construction has occurred yet, but it may begin in 2022.

In March 2021, Ipswich Borough Council approved plans from Handford Homes, a housing company owned by Ipswich Borough Council, for 96 new homes on areas U, V, and W. There is a lot of criticism about the plans, due to the high number of social homes in the same place, potentially breaking the 35:65 social to private home plan that made the estate successful and attractive for residents. Despite these criticisms, construction will begin in early 2022, and it will go ahead as planned.

Amenities

Ravenswood Community Primary School.

Ravenswood has a primary school with a good Ofsted rating, sports centre and an NHS independent care centre. A retirement home named after Jamie Cann the MP for Ipswich who died in 2001 is also in the area. Behind the former airport terminal building, which has been converted into apartments, a small shopping centre has been built with one public house. Orwell Country Park is near to the area. The estate also features more care homes, known as Bluebird Lodge and Prince George care home.

Patches of gym equipment have also been installed due to money received from a community fund in 2019.

Susquehanna station

The Erie Railroad Station in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania was built by the Erie Railway (later reorganized as the Erie Railroad) in 1863. The three-story Gothic Revival structure included a large hotel, called Starrucca House, with rooms for 200 people and a 120 feet (37 m) long dining room. Overall building size is 327 feet (100 m) length by 40 feet (12 m) width.

The railroad converted the hotel into offices and sleeping quarters for railroad personnel c. 1903.Erie Lackawanna Railroad in 1960, which ended passenger train service over the former Erie Delaware Division through Susquehanna in 1966. The last passenger trains were the Atlantic Express/Pacific Express and unnamed trains to Binghamton timed to meet up with the Phoebe Snow.Scranton, Pennsylvania, was discontinued on January 6, 1970.National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

History

The Erie enters Susquehanna

The New York, Lake Erie and Western Railway constructed the railroad through a dense forest in 1848 as a central spot for their work between Piermont and Dunkirk, New York.300 acres (120 ha) along the Susquehanna River for repair shops and other necessary facilities. Constructions at Susquehanna included the large machine shop, (774 feet (236 m) by 138 feet (42 m)) with room for up to 40 locomotives; the boiler shop; blacksmith's shop; pattern shop; paint shop; foundry; and engine rooms for them. The facilities included a larger lecture hall for workers, with a capacity of 600 people.

The Erie also constructed the Starrucca House, which contained a dining hall that was 120 feet (37 m) by 40 feet (12 m) and was a hotel for passengers.Gulf Summit, New York that had to deal with the steep grade. The depot could feed 200 people and provide room as a hotel for the same number of people. This was the first depot constructed entirely out of brick in the United States, containing a 2,400 volume library, a reading room and the lecture room.


Susquehanna station

By 1863, the shops in Susquehanna employed 700 men (up from the original 350) in the community with a $38,000/year total payroll. The master mechanic of the shops, James Gregg, worked to renovate and improve the shops, which were consistent fire risks. Construction of the shops began that year at a cost of $1.25 million (1865 USD), along with $500,000 in tools and machinery, on an 8-acre site. 8 acres (3.2 ha).

March 1874 strike

In March 1874, the Erie fell behind paying its workers at the Susquehanna shops. On March 15, the day the railroad promised that it would pay its workers, they announced that finances were even worse and would have to delay the payment until March 25. The workers at the shop agreed with the delay, but stated that they were willing to walk off the job on March 25 if they were not paid. That day, the Erie announced that they had to pay workers on other parts of the railroad. Denied their wages, the railroad shop workers told the managers to leave the premises and took over the facilities. They demanded that, if the railroad did not pay within 24 hours, they would begin to stop trains from running.

Susquehanna station in 1971

The railroad responded by firing the leaders of the strike at Susquehanna, which caused things to get worse. The shop workers disabled locomotives and put them in a roundhouse, while stranding cars of coal and fuel on sidings in the area. Workers kept mechanical pieces of engines hostage and put them elsewhere in the town. The railroad was on the attack end of the media and the government, who sympathized with the workers. M.M. Helme, the local Sheriff, refused to have the strikers chased off the property. The Governor of Pennsylvania, John F. Hartranft told the railroad that only the Sheriff could request state troops to come in and the latter refused to do so, along with several leading citizens of the village.


Susquehanna station

The lawyers of the railroad soon learned that the trains down the line were being affected by the strike, only then causing Helme to call-in troops. The railroad offered that, in ending the strike, all but the spokespeople for the strike would get their jobs back, which was refused. With that refusal, the railroad threatened to move its shops to Elmira, New York, which would affect the local economy, causing their support to dwindle further. The strike ended within hours of that, with workers returning to their jobs.

Catholic Church and theatre

Many bishops, priests, and monks have strongly condemned theatrical amusements, and they even declared the actors to be "instruments of Satan", "a curse to the Church", and "beguiling unstable souls"Roman Catholic Church believedLord’s Prayer "Lead us not into temptation"

According to the Catholic Church, one must eat and drink for strength and not for gluttony and drunkenness, rest and sleep to the glory of God and not to sink into indolence and sloth nor to become the masters instead of the servants of the body, and amusements are the most dangerous temptations and the worst impulses,

Even exclusively Catholic countries were tolerant of the church-goers: ordinary theatrical amusements was tolerated and the Church allowed the general population to patronize the theatre. In most of those countries, theatres were even allowed to be opened on Sunday evenings when the popular plays are put on the boards. However, during Lent, the Catholic Church would dissuade or even prohibit the people from going to the theatre, and in some countries, where the civil law was controlled by the Catholic Church, the theaters were closed during Lent.

19th century

In the United States in the 19th century, actors endured the Church’s antitheatrical attacks, which included "social humiliations, aggressive animosity toward their profession and their lowly reputation. Religious attitude toward theatre not only hampered the profession as a whole but also humiliated them as individuals which also affected their family members".Anna Cora Mowatt stated that "being an actress, people considered her and all the actresses as immoral, flighty, silly buffoons who are not to be taken seriously for a moment."

The theatres in France had even more restrictions and limitations as the actors turned to the royal patronage for financial aid by joining the state theatre, Comédie-Française. "The actors of this state theatre were considered as servants of the king and were expected to entertain at the court under the rules and regulations of the royal authority. Anything from assigning roles to the actors and demanding actors to be punctual on the rehearsals were strictly controlled by the royal authority. Playwrights were personally obligated to obtain official approvals from the Lieutenant-General of Police who read the manuscripts and gave approvals based on the rules revolved around the King as well as the Church and the political notables. Plays could not mock or violate Roman Catholic beliefs and ceremonies, nor it can satirize living public figures (including the monarch)"

The Catholic Church in France also condemned the theatre as a school for scandal, held all actors to be ipso facto excommunicated, and forbade their burial in consecrated ground, which included every cemetery in Paris.

Actors are paid wages by the King, and excommunicated by the Church; they are ordered by the King to play every evening, and forbidden to play at all by the ritual. If they do not play they are put in to prison [as happened when His Majesty's Players went on strike]; if they play they are [at death] cast into the sewers.

— Voltaire

In fact, in 1730, Adrienne Lecouvreur died at the age of 38, but she was denied Christian burial and was hastily buried in the dead of night in an unmarked grave. This was because the Church in France still banned the actors from receiving any sacraments which included marriage, baptism, or final rites, and only by renouncing their professions first, they were able to receive the sacraments from the Church.Molière’s burial in the sanctified burial because he had not received the last rites with the priest present and that he did not renounce his profession as an actor before his death. When King Louis XIV directly intervened, the Archbishop of Paris allowed Molière to be buried only after sunset among the suicides’ and paupers’ graves with no requiem masses permitted in the Church.

Patristic views on theatre

Patristic views on theatre include:

The Cover of St. Augustine's Confessions


Catholic Church and theatre

The Cover of St. Augustine's Confessions

  * Clement of Alexandria (150-215 A.D.): dramatic compositions are nonsense and empty and would only lead to human misery. Christ is the real, eternal truth in the theatre of the universe. Christians don't serve two masters so they must maintain distant from theatre which doesn't serve Christ.
  * Tertullian (160-230 A.D.): first Latin Church Father was against the existence of permanent theatre. Tertullian interpreted the theatre of Pompeius as the theatre as a whole, as a dwelling place of the gods Venus and Liber, and a place where idololatria (capital crime of mankind including adultery, fraud, drunkenness, fornication; accumulation of deadly sins) committed. He thought theatre belonged to the pomp of the devil, and whoever went to theatre could not be an official.
  * Arnobius (300 A.D.) and Lactantius (260-340 A.D.): Arnobius considered theatre to the special and favourable ground for the activity of the daemons to exercise their influence on humans. Lactantius says that with the conversion of Constantine in the fifth century, a Christian culture slowly began to emerge which was manifested in art, literature and Christian architecture which is committing idoloatria (capital crime; an accumulation of several deadly sins).
  * Augustine (354-430 A.D.): the origin of the gods and the theatre are "deadly poison" and "crazy institution" rooted in demoralization and licentiousness and thus a dangerous influence on Roman youth.Confessions, The City of God, Concerning the Teacher, and On Christian Doctrine. In his Confessions, Augustine says he was attracted to theatre (the tragedies) and enjoyed the actor's performances which gave him things to grieve and pity from which he gained "harmful pleasure." Theatrical performances only affected the surface of his emotion, and as if he had been scratched with the poisoned fingernails, his life was filled with inflammation, swelling, putrefaction and corruption.
  * Isidore of Seville (ca. 560-633 A.D.): emphasized the wickedness of the stage should not be blamed on men but on the daemons because they had initiated the theatre.
  * Antitheatricality
  * Criticism of the Catholic Church

Susquehannock Trail System

The Susquehannock Trail System (STS) is an 83.4-mile (134.2 km) loop hiking trail in Susquehannock State Forest in Potter County (with a few short segments in Clinton County) in north-central Pennsylvania, United States.state parks and passes near three more state parks. It also traverses Hammersley Wild Area, the largest area in Pennsylvania without a road. The loop is supplemented by two cross-connector trails, several short access trails, a shared path with the Donut Hole Trail, and two connectors to the Black Forest Trail.

History

The Susquehannock Trail System was founded in 1966 by William Fish Jr., who suggested creating an extensive backpacking loop through remote areas of Potter County by combining several pre-existing footpaths and logging roads or railroads, with some new connectors.

Route

The Susquehannock Trail System is traditionally described in the clockwise direction. Many hikers begin at the "Northern Gateway" at the Susquehannock State Forest headquarters on U.S. Route 6 between the villages of Sweden Valley and Walton in Sweden Township. The main STS loop does not reach this point; instead the hiker follows a short access trail for 0.4 mile to reach the main STS loop.Allegheny Plateau, and for about the first 2.5 miles it encounters several side trails that lead to Denton Hill State Park. At 3.9 miles the STS begins its first significant elevation change with a descent into Jacob Hollow.

At 6.6 miles the STS crosses a long volunteer-built suspension over Lyman Run, climbs steeply, and passes a junction with a side trail that leads 1.5 miles to Lyman Run State Park. The STS passes an old dynamite shed, which has been converted into a small hiker's shelter, at 10.5 miles then reaches the valley of the West Branch of Pine Creek. At 11.1 miles, the STS passes a junction with the West Branch Trail, a cross-connector that leads 6.1 miles to the west side of the main loop. The STS then begins a steep ascent, nicknamed the "Cardiac Climb", back to the top of the Allegheny Plateau. At 13.5 miles the trail briefly jogs on PA Route 44 and passes an old fire tower and foreman's cabin.


Susquehannock Trail System

The STS then descends into the extensive canyon system formed by Cross Fork Creek. At 14.2 miles it passes a junction with the East Fork Trail, a cross-connector that leads 8.3 miles to the west side of the main loop. At 20.6 miles the STS crosses another volunteer-built suspension bridge, then climbs back to the top of the plateau. After a short road walk on top of the plateau, the trail descends steeply into Ole Bull State Park, which is often called the trail's "Southern Gateway". The trail uses the park's footbridge over Kettle Creek and then crosses PA Route 144 at 26.5 miles. The STS climbs very steeply to the top of the plateau again. A secluded area called "Spook Hollow", due to its dense tree cover and cooler temperatures, is reached at 30.8 miles. After leveling off on high ground, the trail passes a junction with the North Link Trail at 31.9 miles and another with the South Link Trail at 34.2 miles; both of those lead east to the Black Forest Trail.

At 35.6 miles, the STS reaches its first junction with the Donut Hole Trail; the two trails are concurrent for the next 8.6 miles. The trail descends very steeply, crosses a high footbridge called Ted's Truss (in honor of a state forester) over a branch of Young Womans Creek at 36.9 miles, and climbs to the top of the plateau again. After several miles on top of the plateau, the STS plunges again into the town of Cross Fork, reaching a side street at 49.0 miles, then crossing Cross Fork Creek again on a street bridge and encountering PA Route 144 for the second time. The STS climbs steeply again, enters Hammersley Wild Area, and begins a long walk alongside Hammersley Fork Creek at 54.4 miles. After another plunge off of the plateau, the trail walks through a semi-developed area alongside the East Fork of Sinnemahoning Creek starting at 63.4 miles.


Susquehannock Trail System

The STS then climbs to the top of the plateau yet again, and at 71.7 miles passes a junction with a short trail that leads west to the dilapidated Prouty Place State Park. The STS traverses several rugged side canyons, passes the western end of the East Fork Trail (cross-connector) at 73.9 miles, and walks through Patterson State Park at 76.7 miles. The trail crosses PA Route 44 for the second time at the edge of the state park, descends to the valley of the West Branch of Pine Creek for the second time, and passes the west end of the West Branch Trail (cross-connector) at 77.7 miles.splash dam; some local historians believe it may have been a beaver dam.

Tofana di Rozes

Tofana di Rozes (3,225 metres (10,581 ft)) is a mountain of the Dolomites in the Province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy. Located west of the resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo, the mountain's giant three-edged pyramid shape and its vertical south face, above the Falzarego Pass, makes it the most popular peak in the Tofane group, and one of the most popular in the Dolomites.

History

From May 1915 to July 1916, the mountain and its surroundings was the location of fierce fighting between Italian and German, later Austrio-Hungarian, troops, as part of the Italian front in World War I.

West of the main face, and separated from the mountain by a steep and rocky gully, is the Castelletto, a narrow, long rock 700 feet high. In 1915 it was occupied by a German platoon, which, armed with a machine gun and sniper rifles, wreaked havoc on the Italian troops in the valley. They were soon replaced by Austrian soldiers, and from their strategic position they prevented any Italian plans for a push north. For the Alpini, the Italian mountain infantry specialists, retaking the Castelletto became a prime objective. Two of their climbers, Ugo Vallepiana and Giuseppe Gaspard, climbed up the Tofana to a ledge a few hundred feet above the Castelletto, but their guns were not very successful. One summer night four Alpini climbed up the Castelletto but they were discovered and shot. An attack through the gully, taking advantage of the morning fog, was also unsuccessful (machine gunners shot the advancing soldiers when the fog thinned a little), as was a massive attack from three sides in the fall of 1915.Luigi Malvezziadit was in a "sheltered position within a natural ravine", accessed by a long ladder and thus logistically very demanding.gelignite. The other led to what was to be an attack position, to be opened with a smaller batch of explosives.

On July 11, at 3:30 AM, the gelignite was exploded, with King Victor Emmanuel III and the army's chief of staff, General Luigi Cadorna, looking on.Brandberg, Tyrol,Military Order of Savoy.

Climbing


Tofana di Rozes

Climbing

Most climbs start from the north, where the mountain is a relatively easy hike, or the west face, where the summit can be reached by a via ferrata. The south face, however, is a much more difficult challenge, with many of the routes being either fifth or sixth graded climbs.Paul Grohmann and local hunter Francesco Lacedelli. The south face was first climbed in 1901.

Via Ferrata

A via ferrata starts at the restored entrance to the mine tunnel at the Castelletto,Gold Medal of Military Valour.

Cave

The Grotta di Tofana is one of only a few natural caves in dolomite rather than regular limestone. It is accessible by way of a via ferrata that starts some 40 minutes from Rifugio Dibona. The cave is some 300 meters deep, and the roof is up to 10 meters high.Baedeker as "a large cavern accessible by ladders" and as an interesting visit.

PPSMI

Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik Dalam Bahasa Inggeris (PPSMI) (the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in English) is a government policy aimed at improving the command of the English language among pupils at primary and secondary schools in Malaysia. In accordance to this policy, the Science and Mathematics subjects are taught in the English medium as opposed to the Malay medium used before. This policy was introduced in 2003 by the then-Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad. PPSMI has been the subject of debate among academics, politicians and the public alike, which culminated to the announcement of the policy's reversal in 2012 by the Deputy Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin.

History

PPSMI's inception as a Malaysian Government policy was the result of the Cabinet meeting on 19 July 2002 under the administration of the fourth prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad. According to the Malaysian Ministry of Education, the policy would be run in stages, starting with the 2003 school session, pioneered by the all students of Year 1 in primary education level, and Form 1 of the secondary education level. PPSMI was then fully implemented to all secondary students in 2007, and to all primary students in 2008.

Objective

According to the statement regarding PPSMI in the Ministry of Education's website:

The rationale for the decision to change the medium of instruction from the Malay Language to English for the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics subjects was made based on the government’s concern on the nation’s human capital development towards achieving the standard of a developed country, as well as an early preparation to compete in the era of globalization.

It is widely known that the field of science and mathematics form the basis and have a crucial role in the progress and development of a country. Various innovations and discoveries in these two fields happen rapidly and information access is mostly in the English language.

English language is also the language spoken internationally and mastery in this language would allow easy access to information in these fields.


PPSMI

In conclusion, the policy decision to implement PPSMI was made to ensure students’ mastery in science and mathematics in view of the fact that most of the sources are available in the English language. Indirectly, it is also hoped that the implementation of PPSMI would contribute to the enhancing of students’ command of the language.

When proposing the policy, Mahathir Mohamad was in the opinion that Malaysia's progress is declining in the age of globalisation, and he had hoped that this policy gives a competitive edge to the nation, following the footsteps of Singapore and India which are moving forward because of their utilisation of the English language.

Implementation

PPSMI was implemented for the 2003 school session students enrolling in Year 1 and Form 1 in primary and secondary schools respectively. Students of other grades are not affected, and continued to study Mathematics and Science in the mother tongue. PPSMI learning materials were offered in the form of packages consisting of these components:

  * Textbooks: Given to students as the basic source for learning on concepts and skills in Science and Mathematics.
  * Activity Books: Given as supplementary material for students to practice their understanding of the concepts learned from textbooks. These "Buku Latihan dan Aktiviti" or "BLA" were provided for students of Year 1 only.
  * Teacher's Guide: Material prepared for teachers as reference and guide to plan and implement effective teaching of the Science and Mathematics.
  * MyCD or "Pupil's CD-ROM": "BLA" in the form of multimedia presentations recorded in compacts discs and included with every Activity Book. The contents consists of an interactive games and simulators as well as electronic tests.
  * Teacher's CD-ROM: This material was meant to help teachers to plan and implement effective teaching of the Science and Mathematics. Among the contents are questions banks, additional activities as well as URLs to websites with relevance to the subject. These CDs are included in the Teacher's Guide.
  * Science Practical Book: Published to ensure that Science are taught not only in theory but also in practice.
  * Glossary Book: A reference guide containing definition to terms pervasive in Science and Mathematics.

As for the implementation in Chinese schools, after a protest was made by the nation's union of Chinese schools Dong Jiao Zong, a compromise was reached where the teaching of Science and Mathematics was made done both in English and Mandarin.

Catholic Church, Zalău

The Catholic Church (Romanian: Biserica Catolică; Hungarian: Katolikus templom) is a church in Zalău, Romania.

In 1241 the Roman Catholic Church dedicated to the Holy Cross was demolished during the Mongol invasion of Europe, which was rebuilt in 1246 by Transylvanian bishopric. In 1527 reformation reached Zilah (Zalău) and the Catholic Church lost its property in 1542.

The Protestant domination lasted for 123 years, during which period the Catholic faith stopped to exist in the city. In 1742 András Nagy invited Minorite priests to Zilah, however, they were driven away by Calvinist statesman Miklós Wesselényi. In 1748 there were only 7 Roman Catholic believers in the city. In 1752 a parson was appointed again, and in 1784 the court of Vienna allowed to build a Catholic chapel in Zilah.

The foundation stone of the present church was laid down in 1878, and the constructions, that was carried out by the plans of István Jenei, took 4 years to finish.

PPP3CC

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2B catalytic subunit gamma isoform (PP2BC) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPP3CC gene.

Calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, calcineurin, is involved in a wide range of biologic activities, acting as a Ca(2+)-dependent modifier of phosphorylation status.

In testis, the motility of the sperm is thought to be controlled by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and a unique form of calcineurin appears to be associated with the flagellum. The calcineurin holoenzyme is composed of catalytic and regulatory subunits of 60 and 18 kD, respectively.

At least 3 genes, calcineurin A-alpha (CALNA1; MIM 114105), calcineurin A-beta (CALNA2; MIM 114106), and calcineurin A-gamma (CALNA3), have been cloned for the catalytic subunit. These genes have been identified in humans, mice, and rats, and are highly conserved between species (90 to 95% amino acid identity).[supplied by OMIM]
