Samuth Sithnaruepol

Samuth Sithnaruepol (Thai: สมุทร ศิษย์นฤพนธ์, born 17 May 1959) is a Thai retired professional boxer. He was the first Thai fighter to win the IBF world championship and weight class 105 lbs.

Boxing career

After a Muay Thai career that saw him lose more fights than he won, Sithnaruepol turned to professional boxing in early 1982. Managed by Sr. Col. Banju Ongsangkune, he won the 105 lb. OPBF title and defended it four times.

On March 24, 1988, Sithnaruepol fought Filipino contender Pretty Boy Lucas for the vacant IBF mini flyweight title at Rajadamnern Stadium in Bangkok. In the 11th round, a facial injury left Lucas unable to continue, making Sithnaruepol the winner by TKO and Thailand's 11th world boxing champion.

Sithnaruepol defended two times before losing to Indonesian Nico Thomas on June 17, 1989 at Jakarta. Thomas became Indonesia's second world champion, after Ellyas Pical.

Despite being a champion, Sithnaruepol was not as well known as contemporaries like Khaosai Galaxy, Sot Chitalada, or Samart Payakaroon, perhaps because the IBF was a newly formed organization and not well known in Thailand.

After retirement, he entered military service as a Sergeant Major Second Class (SM2) at Department of Army Transportation.

Sewanee Natural Bridge

Sewanee Natural Bridge

Sewanee Natural Bridge in Franklin County, Tennessee, is a 25 feet (7.6 m) high natural sandstone arch with a span of 50 feet (15 m). It is essentially a giant sinkhole partially eroded to form a large stone bridge. A wet weather spring located behind the bridge in a rock cave probably contributed to the erosion forming the arch. It is called the Sewanee Natural Bridge as it was once owned by the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. It is a 3-acre (12,000 m2) designated state natural area.

The natural area is accessed via Highway Alt. 41. In Sewanee turn south onto Highway 56 and proceed 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to Natural Bridge Road. Turn left onto Natural Bridge Road and proceed 1⁄2 mile (800 m) to the parking area.

In popular culture

The Silver Jews named their album The Natural Bridge after it.

Burgen, Bernkastel-Wittlich

Burgen is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Geography

Location

The municipality lies at the outermost end of an ancient river valley of the Middle Moselle, which formed at a time when the river had not settled on the course that it now follows. Burgen is found right below the Hunsrück’s first forests and from the point of view of transport, lies on a dead end. However, it can be reached from two directions, from Brauneberg over Kreisstraße 87 and from Veldenz over Kreisstraße 89. South of the municipality is only Brauneberg’s outlying centre of Hirzlei, where Kreisstraße 87 comes to an end. There is almost no through traffic.

Burgen belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Bernkastel-Kues, whose seat is in the like-named town.

Nearby communities

Neighbouring municipalities are, among others, Brauneberg with its outlying centre of Hirzlei and Veldenz. The nearest middle centres are the double town of Bernkastel-Kues some 6 km away, and Wittlich, some 14 km away. Trier is about 30 km away.

Climate

Burgen lies within the temperate zone; compared to other regions in Germany, a very warm and sunny climate prevails here. In neighbouring Brauneberg on 11 August 1998, a record temperature of 41.2 °C in the shade, the highest ever air temperature recorded in the Federal Republic, was confirmed. Because of its location alee of the Eifel, precipitation from northwest weather systems is often kept away. Ongoing evaporation of water from the Moselle regularly leads to high humidity, which, especially in summer, makes at times for heavy and muggy weather, and which also brings many storms along with it.

History

The village of Burgen was part of the former County of Veldenz. In the medieval the count resided in the nearby Veldenz Castle, some 1.5 km from Burgen.


Burgen, Bernkastel-Wittlich

In nearby areas, remnants of human habitation have been found from the Bronze Age, as have the ruins of a flight castle, the Heidenmauer (“Heathen Wall”), which is found some 1.5 km from Burgen behind Schloss Veldenz. As early as about 500 BC there came settlement by the Treveri, a people of mixed Celtic and Germanic stock, from whom the Latin name for the city of Trier, Augusta Treverorum, is also derived. From about 50 BC until sometime about AD 500 came the Romans, who found the place where Burgen now stands to be strategically favourable: the nearby Hunsrück plateau and the important Roman road from Trier by way of Bingen to Mainz could be reached without much effort. The climb up to the Hunsrück was secured with the help of a fortified military base – in Latin a burgus – which later took the folk form Burgen.

Politics

Municipal council

The council is made up of 12 council members, who were elected at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.

The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:

Mayor

The mayor is Reinhard Grasnick.

Coat of arms

The municipality’s arms might be described thus: Per fess argent a lion passant azure armed Or and langued gules, and sable a castle gules with a gateway of the field and two towers each embattled of three and with two windows of the field, the wall masoned, surmounting which and emerging from base a mount of three vert.

Culture and sightseeing

Winegrowing


Burgen, Bernkastel-Wittlich

Culture and sightseeing

Winegrowing

Winegrowing is practised at the locations of Kirchberg, Hasenläufer and Römerberg. The last lies on the south slope with all-day sunshine, deep, humus-rich Devonian slate soil parallel to the famous Brauneberger Juffer. Hasenläufer is said to be the only mountain in Europe that is completely covered over with vineyards. There are several other wineries in the municipality; Riesling is the customary grape variety. Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Dornfelder, Kerner, Rivaner, Silvaner and Pinot blanc, among others, are also grown.

Sightseeing

Restored timber-frame and quarrystone houses, wine parlours and wineries characterize the local scene. Also worth mentioning is the watermill, which is under monumental protection, from late Biedermeier times in 1845 with and overshot waterwheel and two sets of grindstones. Besides regular tours, the museum offers presentation boards and information about the epoch, a cultural-historical overview of mill development and a description of the milling process with a side tour into food sciences. Part of the watermill is a vast nature garden complex with a brook, boxwood hedges, dry-stone walls and a herb bed.

Burgeners are also proud of their genuine Giant Sequoia tree, a species once found only in California but which can now be found worldwide and is no longer a peculiarity. Also, the Frohnbach flows through the village, open along its whole length. All together there are 19 stone, wooden and wrought iron bridges and footbridges crossing the brook. No other place in the region has quite so many bridges. Also found in Burgen are two churches, one Catholic and the other Evangelical.

Regular events


Burgen, Bernkastel-Wittlich

Regular events

Regularly held in Burgen are a Shrovetide (Fastnacht) parade, a Maypole festival, Deutscher Mühlentag (“German Mill Day”, at Whitsun), the music club’s Lindenfest and the obligatory Saint Martin’s Day parade. The Burgener Bühnchen (“little stage”), a department of the Burgen local history club, stages theatrical productions. In nearby Bernkastel-Kues, with the onset of late summer each year comes the Großes Weinfest der Mittelmosel (“Great Wine Festival of the Middle Moselle”), one of the Moselle’s biggest wine festivals.

Sport

Burgen, together with the neighbouring municipality of Veldenz and the Morgan-Club Deutschland, regularly organizes Hunsrück hillclimbing events for classic sport cars. In 2000, Trier also became the official venue for the Rallye Deutschland, a heat on the way to the World Rally Championship. Since then, special stages have regularly been held in the area vineyards. The courses are distinguished by short, fast straightaways followed by sharp turns and switchback stretches of road in the sloped areas. Several tens of thousands of people come to the region around Burgen for this on the weekend in August when this is done.

Economy and infrastructure

From days of yore, an important rôle has been played by winegrowing. Local demands are supplied by a village shop. The nearest small supermarket is found in neighbouring Veldenz, as is a discount store in neighbouring Brauneberg. Hiking trails lead around the village. Public transport is integrated into the Verkehrsverbund Region Trier (VRT), whose fares therefore apply.

Civil Asset Forfeiture


Seward County, Nebraska

Civil Asset Forfeiture

The county engages in extensive civil asset forfeiture, as the county of less than 18,000 people accounts for a third of all Nebraska civil forfeitures. From 2018 to 2023, the county obtained $7.5 million in forfeited cash. Nearly all of the civil forfeitures stem from traffic stops of out-of-state drivers on Interstate 80 where Seward County police give stopped drivers a choice to give up cash or go to jail. The routine seizures of money never result in convictions of drivers, raising questions about the intent of the forfeitures.

The Serpent on the Crown

The Serpent on the Crown is the 17th in a series of historical mystery novels, written by Elizabeth Peters and published in 2005. It features fictional sleuth and archaeologist Amelia Peabody. The story is set in 1922, in the dig season in Egypt.

Plot summary

In 1922 the Emersons are excavating at Deir el Medina, living in Luxor, when melodramatic Mrs Magda Petherick appears, hands them a box with an antique that she believes killed her husband in November. She fears its curse will kill her. Emerson agrees to hold the antique and to get rid of the curse. After she leaves, they see that the box holds a solid gold small statue of a pharaoh, and it is both beautiful and a genuine antique. The work is quite skilled, likely from the era of Amenhotep. Their friend Cyrus Vandergelt assures them of its high value in the antiques market, and says he will be happy to buy it.

Next, stepson Adrian arrives, with a rifle, complaining they have stolen the most valuable item in their late father’s collection. Ramses holds him until he is calm. Then his sister Harriet arrives. She takes care of her war-wounded brother. She says their father died of natural causes.

Emerson revises his plan of work to learn the provenance of the statue. He goes to Cairo to get permission to work in KV55; he returns with Sethos. Experienced in robbing tombs in his past, Sethos never saw or sold that fine statue. He joins the household. News of the statue brings thieves and reporters

Heinrich Lidman joins the staff briefly. He ends up with a head wound in the river, but survives.

To slow or stop intruders, they build a guardhouse. It gets bombed. They get a dog, Amira, to bark at strangers; someone feeds it drugged meat.

Grandson David John scares his grandfather by moving the statue from the locked drawer to his toy chest. No place is safe.

Ramses specializes in reading ancient Egyptian writing; there is a lot of it at the current site, and one note points to a change in that ancient culture, about asking the gods forgiveness for wrongdoing. He hires an assistant, Mikhail Katchenovsky.


The Serpent on the Crown

David Todros arrives in Luxor; David and Ramses are best friends. Emerson does the exorcism, to end the power of the curse Mrs Petherick named. All enjoy the performance.

The next morning, they learn that Mrs Petherick’s body was found in the gardens of the hotel, with white flower petals scattered over her. She was dressed in red, not her black clothes as a widow. The autopsy reveals she was smothered. Amelia gets to work on finding who killed her.

While Ramses and David reach Cairo in search of the Pethericks, Emerson realizes the golden statue is stolen, and that Lidman took it. He and Amelia take steps rapidly to find him, including the police, and the Vandergelts. Jumana knows where Lidman might hide. She goes there alone, to tomb 25 in the West Valley.

Unstable Adrian has been harming his sister Harriet; Ramses and David find them at a lonely tomb in Giza where exactly that is happening. Ramses grabs Adrian, whose gun goes off but misses Harriet. Ramses and David take them to Cairo, and admit Adrian to hospital. Harriet stays with him.

Lidman is in tomb 25, and he has tied up Jumana, holding a knife to her. Lidman hid the statue. Emerson negotiates with Lidman. Jumana rolls away from Lidman, Bertie Vandergelt grabs for the knife. Emerson jumps on Lidman, who escapes and starts climbing. Amelia shoots him in the leg; he survives the tumble down the cliff face. The scene shifts to the house, where Nefret is tending to Jumana; Bertie vents his strong views on the risks she took, for the first time ever he speaks forcefully and angrily to her for going out alone. Then Lidman is carried in, unconscious. Amelia sits with him; he briefly regains consciousness and talks to her before he dies.


The Serpent on the Crown

Lidman confessed that his true name is Morritz X Daffinger. Lidman, an archaeologist, had been killed in the war, but was comrades with Daffinger before he died. Daffinger was the first husband to Magda; they met in Leipzig and married in Berlin when she was 16. They wrote the successful books together. He was a prisoner of war and it took him a while to get home. She was bored before the war ended, not waiting for him to return, and went to England where she met her wealthy husband. Daffinger found her after she married Petherick, and began blackmailing her. When she came to Luxor, so did he, using the knowledge he gained from Lidman to get a position with Cyrus. He had called the statue “rightfully his” because it belonged to his wife. He killed her, after she tried and failed to kill him by pushing hum into the river. Her second marriage was not valid, so Mr Petherick’s collection passes to his children.

The Emersons and Vandergelts search the tomb area, finding the statue when Sethos points out what to him is the obvious hiding place.

Ramses asks Katchenovsky if he translated all of the note; he had, and wants to claim sole credit for it. Katchenovsky has a gun to kill Ramses; Amelia comes in to the room with her pistol and misses. She is wounded by Katchenovsky. Ramses beats Katchenovsky up after Amelia is shot. Katchenovsky is alive, charged with attempted murder.

Her recovery takes a while, after Nefret operates on her. Daoud finds the one piece of the gold statue that was missing, the serpent in the crown, and puts the completed statue next to Amelia as she recovers.

From more scraps of papyrus found at the dig, that man’s confession of thievery in the 18th dynasty names Tutankhamun as the statue he stole.

Tutankhamun is the one pharaoh whose tomb has not been found. The statue was stolen from his tomb by a worker. The worker lived at Deir el Medina and placed it in a temple there, along with his note of confession. A modern day thief stole the statue and Ramses translated the note. Tutankhamun’s tomb is yet to be found.


The Serpent on the Crown

Harriet sells the gold statue to Cyrus. She needs the money to care for her brother, still recovering from the Great War.

Title

The book's title is from the Poetical Stela of Thutmose III:

"I have robbed their nostrils of the breath of life and made the dread of you fill their hearts. My serpent on your brow consumed them."

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews found this novel a bit less complex or convoluted in plot than others in this series, a plus. The author’s writing style in this series is excessive in their view, while the main characters are likable. “Peabody’s Victorian rhetoric can go over the top, but her likable family’s fans will find much to enjoy in an adventure less convoluted than usual, salted with the obligatory tidbits of Egyptology.”

Andrew Newman in The New York Times wrote about the audio book, specifically the recording by much-praised Barbara Rosenblat. Newman observed her “recording of "The Serpent on the Crown," the 17th installment of Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody Mysteries series” in Chelsea for Recorded Books. Rosenblat is an actress, but uses different skills when narrating a historical novel; Rosenblat “was shifting quickly between characters with British, Indian, Arabic, Egyptian, Irish, Austro-Hungarian and Texan accents. Those distinct roles interacted with incredulity, shock, anguish and sarcasm. It was emotion layered on dialect layered on perfect enunciation.”

Riot Zone

Riot Zone, known in Japan as Crest of Wolf ( 狼的紋章(クレスト・オブ・ウルフ)), is a 1992, beat 'em up video game by Hudson Soft for the TurboGrafx-CD console. It was re-released on the Virtual Console for North America on January 14, 2008,PAL regions on January 18, 2008, and in Japan on April 1, 2008.

Plot

In the beginning, the setting takes place in New York City where two men known as Hawk Takezaki and Tony Aldus met up with their chief Jim Hyde, and told him that they finally forced a villain known as Bossman to stay in a place called the DragonZone. The chief advised Hawk not to enter the DragonZone and head back home, but Hawk refused to do so. Before he immediately began traveling toward DragonZone and try to demolish it, in order to save a girl named Candy, Tony told Hawk that he will join him.

Gameplay

Like Riot City, Riot Zone resembles Capcom's 1989 arcade hit, Final Fight, which is an archetypal side scrolling beat-em-up game. Players choose between two characters: Hawk, the blond-haired vigilante who has average statistics, and Tony, who is strong, but slow and has a break-dancing move. Player controls the chosen character from left to right through each level (most of which are split into three or more scenes), fighting with the enemy characters who appear, until they reach a confrontation with a stronger boss character at the end of the level. Once that boss is beaten, the player automatically moves on to the next stage. Enemies appear from both sides of the screen, and the player must defeat all of them to progress. If the player tries to simply travel through the levels without fighting, the screen will stop scrolling until all current enemies have been defeated, before allowing the player to continue progress. Enemies may move outside the confines of the screen, but players may not. Unlike Final Fight, there are no weapons to pick up along the way, but the player will only pick up items for points and health. Unlike Riot City, Riot Zone lacks multiplayer and instead of chiptune music, the TurboGrafx-CD allows it to play high-quality CD-DA music.

Riot Zone

Development

Riot Zone is a port of the 1991 arcade game Riot City developed by Westone Bit Entertainment and distributed by Sega. When Hudson Soft picked up the rights to the game for a home conversion to the TurboGrafx-16, they changed the title and character designs in a matter similar to what they done with various ports of the Wonder Boy series to non-Sega consoles (such as the original Adventure Island on the NES or Dragon's Curse on the TurboGrafx-16). The development of the game was handled by Agenda Co. Ltd.

Sewall–Ware House

The Sewall–Ware House was a historic house at 100 S. Main Street in Sherborn, Massachusetts. The house stood on land once belonging to Massachusetts judge Samuel Sewall (best known for his participation in the Salem witch trials). The house may have been constructed by Sewall's instructions for a tenant farmer. In the mid-18th century it was the boyhood home of Harvard College divinity professor Henry Ware, and remained in the Ware family well into the 19th century.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The house no longer stands at the location described in the listing papers, and has probably been demolished.

Boano

For the Italian coachbuilder, see Felice Mario Boano.

Boano Island is an island in West Seram Regency, Maluku Province, Indonesia. It is located off the northern coast of the Hoamoal Peninsula at the western end of Seram Island, across the Boano Strait. The inhabitants speak the Boano, Luhu, as well as Indonesian and Ambonese Malay.

Pua Island, highest point 403 m, is located close off Boano's northwestern tip.

Geography

Boano is mostly flat in the east and north, rising to hills in the west and south. The highest point on Boano is Gunung Tahun in the west of the island, with an altitude of 606 metres (1,988 ft). In the northwest, is the long and narrow Pua Island, separated from Boano by the narrow Valentine Strait, which is interspersed with coral reefs in many places.

Boano has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen climate classification Af). The island is divided into two villages (desa), whose border is disputed. At the 2020 Census, the population in South Buano was 1,741 while in North Buano (including Pulau Pua) was 8,287 inhabitants.

History

Boano is mentioned by Dutch naturalist and author François Valentijn, in his book Beschryvinge van Amboina in 1724 as Bunoa, Boan, Boano, and Bonnoa, along with a listing of the names of various villages and their leaders. At that time, he estimated to have been inhabited by 1,200 people most of whom were subsistence farmers. Valentijn also mentioned the peace talks between Herman van Speult of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and a local ruler named Sengadji in 1619.


Boano

The Hoamoal Peninsula region in western Seram was a center of the spice trade since before the 17th century's and Buano Island had the advantage of being a safe harbor during the west monsoon season. In the 17th century, Buano Island and the Hoamoal Peninsula were subject to the Sultanate of Ternate. Islam also spread in this area at that time. Today, Islam tends to dominate the northern part of Buano while Protestant Christianity is concentrated in the south. When the VOC consolidated its monopoly on the spice trade in Maluku, there were several rebellions, including the Hoamoal War which also involved Buano in 1639. The VOC succeeded in winning the war and in 1656, and subsequently carried out forced displacement of residents to various regions in western Seram in an effort to quell further rebellion. Many inhabitants of Buano were forcibly relocated to Manipa Island. In 1675, Ternate made a treaty with the VOC, withdrawing its claims against the Ambon and surrounding areas including Buano. Until 1917, Boano was listed as an area of the West Seram Onderafdeling, Afdeling Seram, Governorate of Ambon.

The island did not receive significant attention in the later stage of Dutch colonization. After the capture of the Netherlands East Indies by Japan during World War II in 1942, Boano, together with the rest of the Moluccas, was assigned to the zone of occupation of the Japanese 2nd Fleet. The occupation formally ended in August 1945; however, the newly-proclaimed Republic of Indonesia was unable to establish its power in such a remote region, and in early 1946 the Netherlands regained control of Boano without resistance. A few months later, Boano, along with all the Moluccas, Sulawesi and the Lesser Sunda Islands, was included in the quasi-independent State of East Indonesia. In December 1949. The decision to incorporate East Indonesia into the Republic of Indonesia in April 1950 was opposed by many inhabitants, leading to the proclamation of the Republic of South Moluccas, which included Boano. The succession was crushed by the Indonesian military by the end of 1950 and Boano was proclaimed part of the Republic of Indonesia.

In 1983, sectarian rioting broke out when several North Buano residents attacked South Buano. Several people were killed and a number of buildings in South Buano were burned. In 1999 during the Maluku sectarian conflict, further violence erupted.

MusicHound R&B: The Essential Album Guide

The Chicago Tribune noted that "Butler sings about the enduring virtues of adult love like few other singers, and his backing musicians are restrained but soulful-far removed from the synth-drenched wallpaper that passes for R&B these days."USA Today stated that Butler is back to "caressing smooth ballads with his infectious rasp."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution thought that the "title song, with a '90s beat and a catchy little chorus, is almost hypnotic ... [the album is] a hodgepodge of styles, but in the hands of the Ice Man, somehow it gels."Fort Worth Star-Telegram deemed Time & Faith "a sort of low-key concept album about growing older alone and realizing how hard it is to find lasting love."

AllMusic wrote that "Time & Faith is fairly unpredictable; while 'Trying to Break the Habit' is a bluesy soul number, the ballads 'I Was Right About You' and 'You're the Only One' are essentially adult contemporary."

Deh Now-e Gork Allah

Deh Now-e Gork Allah (Persian: ده نوگرك اله, also Romanized as Deh Now-e Gork Allāh; also known as Deh Now-e Gorgallāh, Gorg Allāh, and Gorgollāh)Rig Rural District, in the Central District of Lordegan County, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 635, in 148 families.


The 1995 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 66th playing of the midsummer classic between the all-stars of the American League (AL) and National League (NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball. The game was held on July 11, 1995, at The Ballpark in Arlington in Arlington, Texas, the home of the Texas Rangers of the American League. It was the first All-Star Game held in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but not the first hosted by the franchise (as the Washington Senators, the team hosted the game in 1962 and 1969).

In this All-Star Game, American League pitchers held National League batters to just three base hits, but all three were home runs. The game resulted in the National League defeating the American League 3–2. This is also the most recent All-Star Game to be televised by the ABC television network.

Because of the MLBPA Strike, and the lack of official champions, the leagues chose to designate the managers of the unofficial league champions (teams with the best record at the time of abandonment of the season) as managers for this All-Star Game. The All-Star break that season was actually only two days - because of the strike induced schedule in 1995, there were games scheduled for the next day. As a result, by the time this game ended, several players had already flown out of Texas to get to where their teams were playing the next day.

There were two color guards participating in the pregame ceremonies. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police National Color Guard from Ottawa, Ontario, carried the Canadian flag, while the 1995-96 Del Rio (TX) High School ROTC Color Guard carried the American flag. Country singer Michelle Wright later sang "O Canada", while fellow country singer (and native Texan) Lyle Lovett sang "The Star-Spangled Banner". Nolan Ryan threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

National League President Len Coleman presented Jeff Conine with the All-Star Game MVP Award in lieu of the Commissioner of Baseball, marking the second year in a row that Coleman presided over the MVP Award presentation.

Broadcasting

The 1995 All-Star Game was the first Major League Baseball All-Star Game to be televised by ABC since the 1988 edition from Cincinnati. Just like in 1988, Al Michaels provided play-by-play duties for ABC alongside color commentators Jim Palmer and Tim McCarver. Also assisting in ABC's coverage were John Saunders (who interviewed players in the American League dugout), Lesley Visser (who interviewed players in the National League dugout as well as game MVP Jeff Conine), and Rick Dempsey (who interviewed players inside the bullpen at the Ballpark in Arlington).


The 1995 All-Star Game officially launched the second season for The Baseball Network, which was a consortium that ABC was in partnership with Major League Baseball as well as NBC. As previously alluded to, the inaugural season in 1994 was cut short due to a players' strike that began on August 12 and wound up causing the World Series (for which ABC was due to broadcast) to be cancelled. The strike proved to hurt the long term viability of The Baseball Network. The arraignment between Major League Baseball, ABC, and NBC was originally supposed to run at least through the 1999 season. But instead, both networks announced on June 22, 1995,World Series.

Archaia Nemea

Archaia Nemea (Greek: Αρχαία Νεμέα, "Ancient Nemea", before 1958: Ηράκλειον - IrakleionCorinth in Greece named after the nearby ruins of the ancient site of Nemea. The old name of this place was Iraklion. At the 2011 census, it had 559 inhabitants.

There is an ancient Sanctuary of Zeus nearby and very early Neolithic skeletal remains have been discovered in the region.

"The Sanctuary of Zeus and the site of Tsoungiza (as well as the modern and 19th century villages of Archaia Nemea and Koutsomodi, respectively) are located at the head or southern end of the small Nemea Valley through which flows a small river. This end of the valley is enclosed by a ring of low hills which form a water catchment that supplies the river. The hills continue to the north flanking the valley on either side. Less than two kilometers from the head of the valley it narrows, and the river cuts deeply into the valley floor and runs down to the Corinthian Gulf."

The Service is an essay written in 1840 by Henry David Thoreau. He submitted it to The Dial for publication, but they declined to print it. It was not published until after Thoreau's death.

The essay uses war and military discipline as metaphors that, as Thoreau would have it, can instruct us in how to order and conduct our lives.

Themes

The Service is in part a contrarian swipe at the many pacifist writers and lecturers whose teachings on "nonresistance" were then very much in vogue, in part thanks to Christian anarchist and pacifist Adin Ballou who spoke on the subject at the Concord Lyceum on occasion and who founded the New England Non-Resistance Society (of which William Lloyd Garrison was also a leader, and a Lyceum speaker as well).


The Service

Thoreau debated the subject "Is it ever proper to offer forcible resistance?" in a formal Lyceum debate (arguing the affirmative) in 1841, and surviving records of the Lyceum note that the subject came up many times in debates, discussions, and lectures.

Thoreau's own views were very much influenced by these non-resistants, and are often confused with them even today. When Amos Bronson Alcott resisted his taxes to protest war and slavery, three years before Thoreau would resist his taxes over the same issues, Alcott's action was explained within the context of "non-resistant" philosophy. When Thoreau explained his own tax resistance, he took pains to distinguish his theory from theirs, titling his essay Resistance to Civil Government.

In The Service, Thoreau tosses barbs at the non-resistance preachers, warning his readers that pacifism can be a temptation to passivity:

Better that we have some of that testy spirit of knight errantry, and if we are so blind as to think the world is not rich enough nowadays to afford a real foe to combat, with our trusty swords and double-handed maces, hew and mangle some unreal phantom of the brain. In the pale and shivering fogs of the morning, gathering them up betimes, and withdrawing sluggishly to their daylight haunts, I see Falsehood sneaking from the full blaze of truth, and with good relish could do execution on their rearward ranks, with the first brand that came to hand. We too are such puny creatures as to be put to flight by the sun, and suffer our ardor to grow cool in proportion as his increases; our own short-lived chivalry sounds a retreat with the fumes and vapors of the night; and we turn to meet mankind, with its meek face preaching peace, and such non-resistance as the chaff that rides before the whirlwind.


The Service

Of such sort, then, be our crusade, – which, while it inclines chiefly to the hearty good will and activity of war, rather than the insincerity and sloth of peace, will set an example to both of calmness and energy; – as unconcerned for victory as careless of defeat, – not seeking to lengthen our term of service, nor to cut it short by a reprieve, – but earnestly applying ourselves to the campaign before us.

Boar's Nest

The Boar's Nest is a fictional local restaurant and tavern appearing in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard and its various spinoff films and other productions, and the movie Moonrunners.

It is the oldest establishment in Hazzard County, and is owned by Boss Hogg. It is the main social gathering place for the Duke family—cousins Bo, Luke and Daisy, and their Uncle Jesse—and their friends and adversaries. One source describes it as the place "where the Dukes unwound with a beer at the end of most episodes".The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning, she was depicted as being conservatively-dressed until she sought a job there, adopting her trademark "sexy attire" to gain the approval of bartender Hughie Hogg.

The establishment contains ample seating room for customers, a small kitchen and a bar. The main bar also contains a popcorn machine, a jukebox, a pinball machine, a pool table and pay telephone. There is also a small stage area, where plays, contests and performances by big-name country music stars perform, usually to settle trumped up traffic violations applied by Sheriff Rosco when they pass through his jurisdiction. One group shown performing there was The Oak Ridge Boys, twice featured on the show. Member Joe Bonsall wrote that these were "[t]wo of our most popular appearances on television".Ben Jones, who played mechanic Cooter in the series, explained:

We had an occasional piece at the end of some episodes called “ Boss Hogg's Speed Trap , " a musical ending that featured Nashville stars who had been stopped in Hazzard's speed trap and had to perform at the Boar's Nest in lieu of a huge fine. Boss, who owned the joint, would make a killing when Tammy Wynette or Roy Orbison did a show at his honky-tonk.

Jones noted that he suggested having James Brown appear in this way, which the cast supported. The network vetoed this, asserting that this would not appeal to the show's audience, which the cast considered an insulting reaction.

In the back of the restaurant is an office where Boss Hogg conducts many of his crooked business schemes. The basement has an escape tunnel, which was used in the days when the Hogg and Duke families were involved in moonshine running and were trying to elude the authorities.


Boar's Nest

Outside the business are two HoggoCo gas pumps and ample parking space. The parking lot often serves as the starting and finishing lines for various races that take place in Hazzard County.

In the 1997 The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! movie, the original Boar's Nest had been burned down by a wedding party, and a new one was built in town.

Origin

The Boar's Nest was an actual bar in the area where Jerry Rushing used to run moonshine. His stories were the basis for the film Moonrunners (the precursor to the Dukes of Hazzard, and the first appearance of the Boar's Nest on camera). The fictional bar was also described as resembling the well-known honky-tonk, Gilley's, in Pasadena, Texas, which was used in the 1980 John Travolta film, Urban Cowboy.

The building used as the Boar's Nest at 290 Flat Rock Road, just north of Covington, Georgia, during the filming of the first five episodes of season one still exists. It is now being used as a church.Los Angeles, California.

Archain 1

Archain 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARCN1 gene.

Function

This gene maps in a region, which include the mixed lineage leukemia and Friend leukemia virus integration 1 genes, where multiple disease-associated chromosome translocations occur. It is an intracellular protein. Archain sequences are well conserved among eukaryotes and this protein may play a fundamental role in eukaryotic cell biology. It has similarities to heat shock proteins and clathrin-associated proteins, and may be involved in vesicle structure or vesicle trafficking.

The Servant Christ

The Servant Christ is a public artwork by American artist Jimilu Mason, located at Christ House, 1717 Columbia Road, NW in Washington, D.C., United States. The Servant Christ was originally surveyed as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1994.

Description

The bronze sculpture is a contemporary depiction of Jesus Christ, wearing a sweatshirt, pants and no shoes. He kneels down and his hands hover over a bowl installed in the base of the sculpture. He has a beard and mustache and looks upwards to the sky. The sculpture is a working fountain with water flowing up from the bowl and into the figure's proper left hand.

A plaque nearby is inscribed with:

Jimilu (American) THE SERVANT OF CHRIST MEEKLY I FIT MY STATUE TO YOUR NEED TILL BY SNECHART (sic) I SHALL ACHIEVE MY MORIAL (sic) PLAN. TO PASS THE LOW INITIAL OF THE HUMAN HEART. FROM IMMANANCE (sic) BY EVALYN UNDERHILL

Background

The sculpture is installed on the sidewalk in front of Christ House, a medical facility for homeless men. The statue represents Christ offering to wash the feet of the people of the Adams Morgan neighborhood where the sculpture is located. The sculpture faces towards the building at a relief on the wall and under the window of a sun-room. According to the artist, "the men in the sunroom window become a living part of the men and women and children in the Frieze, which represents the richness of the cultural diversity in Adams Morgan."

When the work was installed, people questioned why Mason would want to have the piece displayed outside "where it would surely be abused". In response, Mason said "there is very little they could do to him that hasn't already been done".

Condition

This sculpture was surveyed in 1994 for its condition and it was described that treatment was needed.
