Chen Yonglin

Post-visa statements and activities

Following the granting of protection visas to Chen and his family, he has met with Australian intelligence officials to discuss his earlier claims of a thousand-strong Chinese spy network. On 21 July Chen testified before the United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and International Operations as part of a panel discussing "Falun Gong and China's Continuing War on Human Rights." Here Chen broadened his earlier charges, stating: "I am aware there are over 1,000 Chinese secret agents and informants in Australia, and the number in the United States should not be less." He also testified that "The United States and Australia are considered by the CPC as the base of the Falun Gong overseas" and that "Chinese diplomats are required to denounce the Falun Gong and to distribute anti-Falun Gong materials whenever it is possible."

On 31 July, Chen attended a public seminar hosted by the Victorian Federation of Chinese Associations without invitation. There he defended and repeated his earlier spying allegations, and went on to claim that the VFCA was "controlled by the Chinese Consulate in Melbourne". The vice president of the federation, Sheng Wang, denied these claims and accused Chen of damaging the reputation of all Chinese Australians as well as undermining relations between China and Australia.

On 5 August, Chen was invited to a seminar at the University of Melbourne.

On 16 August, Chen accused the Chinese government of sending a three-member assassination squad into Australia, claiming he was alerted to their presence by a close friend in the foreign ministry. Chen told ABC TV, "they want to shut me up and ... they want to send a warning example to others who want to defect."Alexander Downer called this "highly improbable."

In late September, Chen contended that the man in charge of China's spy network continued to operate out of the consulate-general in Sydney. As reported by The Bulletin, this individual works independently of the consulate, complete with his own budget. Chen did not name this alleged spymaster.


Chen Yonglin

In October and November, Chen addressed the European Parliament, the Flemish Parliament of Belgium, and the British Parliament on the issue of humans rights in China. The Chinese Mission at the European Parliament sent three diplomats and three official media reporters to hear Chen's testimony at the European Parliament. While Chen was addressing to the British All-Party Parliamentary Group on Human Rights at the Palace of Westminster, President Hu Jintao was visiting Westminster. Prime Minister Tony Blair was forced to raise the human rights issue with Hu under the pressure of overwhelming media attention.

On 30 March 2006, Chen joined more than 4000 signatories in an open letter to Australian Prime Minister John Howard to question Premier Wen Jiabao regarding the persecution against human rights lawyers in China by the Chinese Authorities and concern about allegations of live organ harvesting at the Shenyang Thrombosis Hospital

Beautiful Joe

This article is about the dog and novel. For the unrelated film, see Beautiful Joe (film).
Not to be confused with Viewtiful Joe.

Beautiful Joe was a dog from the town of Meaford, Ontario, whose story inspired the bestselling 1893 novel Beautiful Joe, which contributed to worldwide awareness of animal cruelty.

The real Beautiful Joe

The real Beautiful Joe was an Airedale-type dog. He was medium-sized, brown, and described as likely being part bull terrier and part fox terrier. He was also described as a mongrel, a cur, and a mutt. He was originally owned by a local Meaford man, who cruelly abused the dog to the point of near death, and even cut off his ears and tail. Walter Moore, father of Louise Moore, rescued the dog in 1890, from what likely would have been a violent and painful death. In 1892, Margaret Marshall Saunders (1861–1947), first learned about Beautiful Joe when she visited her brother and his wife, Louise Moore. Saunders was so touched by Joe's story that she wrote a novel-length, fictionalized, autobiographical version of it, entitled Beautiful Joe. Margaret Saunders relocated the story to a small town in Maine and changed the family's name from Moore to Morris to win a literary contest sponsored by the American Humane Education Society. The book was first published in 1893. By 1900, over 800,000 copies sold in the U.S., 40,000 in Canada and 100,000 in the United Kingdom.

Saunders chose to write Beautiful Joe as an "autobiography" and tell the story from Beautiful Joe's viewpoint, and in her imagined version of Beautiful Joe's own words. While it was not the first book to tell a story from an animal's viewpoint – Black Beauty by Anna Sewell was already on its way to becoming classic literature by then – it was still an uncommon narrative device. This unusual viewpoint allowed the reader into Beautiful Joe's mind, and inarguably led the reader to feel more sympathy toward the narrator than if the material had been presented in a straightforward and documentative manner. Also, Saunders believed that she would not be taken seriously as a writer using the obviously female name Margaret Saunders, so she wrote using the variant name Marshall Saunders.

Fame and legacy


Beautiful Joe

Fame and legacy

Saunders submitted her story to a writing contest being run by the Humane Society in 1893. It won, and the following year it was published as a novel. The response was tremendous; both the book and its subject received worldwide attention. It was the first Canadian book in history to sell over a million copies, and by the late 1930s had sold over 7 million copies worldwide. In 1902, a sequel, Beautiful Joe's Paradise, was published. In 1934, Saunders was granted Canada's highest civilian award at the time, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire or C.B.E. In 1963, the official Beautiful Joe Park was named in Meaford, next to the Moore house where Beautiful Joe was rehabilitated by Louise Moore. A Beautiful Joe Heritage Society was formed in 1994 to preserve Joe's legacy and ultimately establish the Moore residence as a museum.

Connection with Black Beauty

Saunders did not avoid comparison of her work to the similarly themed Black Beauty. Indeed, she makes reference to Black Beauty in the very first page of Beautiful Joe, not referring to it by name but writing [from Joe's viewpoint] "I have seen my mistress laughing and crying over a little book that she says is a story of a horse's life". Joe goes on to say that he will write the story of a dog's life, to similarly please his owner. Thus, within the context of the book at least, Beautiful Joe is directly inspired by Black Beauty.

Frederik Christian Kielsen

Plate from "Icones amphibiorum" 1835
Boa constrictor

Frederik Christian Kielsen (7 February 1774 Copenhagen – 18 January 1850 Frederiksberg) was a Danish schoolmaster noted for editing and publishing a series of copiously illustrated books on natural history – Icones amphibiorum, Icones avium, Icones piscium, Icones vermium, Icones mammalium, and Icones insectorum.

Frederik Christian was the son of Olufsen Kielsen, an organist at the Garrison Church in Copenhagen, and Valentine Margerithe Dresler. He was at a school in Elsinore until 1790 when he began studying surgery, then changed his focus to natural history. He started teaching at the Metropolitan School in 1806. In 1819 he settled in Vordingborg, where he lectured at the Latin School. In 1833 he moved back to Copenhagen, where he lived until his death.

Kielsen married Louise Charlotte Amalie Jacobsen in 1808.

During his career Kielsen translated several German children's books dealing with nature, and wrote his own natural history textbooks. This science was still new in school curricula and its teaching was problematic. His translation of the German Natural History of 1797 by Karl Philipp Funke was widely used in schools. He wrote a comprehensive textbook on systematics and the Guide for Beginners (1807), which remained in use by schools for an entire generation.

Early life and family

John Lugge was the son of Joan Downe and Thomas Lugge, a shoemaker.Barnstaple.Lisbon, Portugal.St John's College, Oxford, and himself became a composer.

Music career

As organist

There are no known records concerning Lugge's early musical education, although it is possible that he was a chorister at Exeter Cathedral.vicar choral. He continued in both of these positions until 1647.Edward Gibbons, who presumably shared some of his duties.

As composer

Lugge composed three organ voluntaries, which musicologist John Steele has described as "the best examples of this peculiarly English genre written before the Civil War".

Religion

In 1617, Lugge was examined by a bishop, accused of having Roman Catholic sympathies, an accusation prompted by a letter sent by his brother Peter. He was not convicted of any crime, with the bishop asserting: "Though I fear, and by conference do suspect that he hath eaten a little bit, or mumbled a piece of this forbidden fruit, yet I verily believe he hath spit it all out again". His house was searched in 1624, but nothing was found to support the claim.

CARVER matrix

This article is about a target acquisition system. For the archaeological ranking system, see Harris matrix: Carver matrix.

The Pentagon's SOF developed the CARVER matrix to target weaknesses in enemy and friendly targets

The CARVER matrix was developed by the United States Army Special Forces during the Vietnam War. CARVER is an acronym that stands for Criticality, Accessibility, Recuperability, Vulnerability, Effect and Recognizability and is a system to identify and rank specific targets so that attack resources can be efficiently used. CARVER was developed in World War II by the OSS for the French field agents as a simple, uniformly and somewhat quantifiable means of selecting targets for possible interdiction. CARVER can be used from an offensive (what to attack) or defensive (what to protect) perspective.

History

During the Vietnam war the US Army Special Forces required a system of target acquisition that would rank potential targets according to a scale. During the war the CARVER matrix system was developed to fulfil those needs.terrorist groups like Jemaah Islamiyah.

Using the system

This system has been developed in order to aid Special Operations Forces (SOF) and more recently Department of Energy (DOE), Department of State (DOS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and various private and commercial security assets, in target selection and Risk/Vulnerability assessments by calculating the value of a given potential target and the ease with which such a target could be neutralized. Or in other words, it's a logical way of looking at what one might want to do and whether or not it is possible, based on the resources one has to work with. These factors are also the acronym of the system name CARVER: Criticality, Accessibility, Recuperability, Vulnerability, Effect and Recognizability.

Target                 C  A  R  V  E  R  Total
Water intake           1  1  3  4  2  1  12
Sanitation processors  3  2  1  5  5  2  18
Power center           2  3  1  2  2  1  11

Looking at the table, the target with the highest score is the Sanitation processors which have a score total of 18. Thus, using the system, more attack resources (time, money, tools, personnel etc.) should be assigned to hit the Sanitation processors.

Other uses


CARVER matrix

Other uses

While designed for the military the CARVER matrix can be used for a variety of other purposes including management and setting goals. As long as you have a clear set goal in mind you can apply the system to anything. For example, a manager of a gym wants to increase his sales and membership numbers thus using the Matrix system:

Potential projects  C  A  R  V   E  R   Total
Start website       5  8  4  6   5  7   35
Referral campaign   9  9  7  8   6  9   48
Flier distribution  7  8  4  10  4  10  43

So again looking at the score we can see that starting an aggressive members referral plan would be the best option according to the matrix.

In the book Unleash the Warrior Within, Richard Machowicz identified that for most situations in life, simply grading one's choices by Criticality & Effect-on-goal/happiness is enough: one needn't do the entire matrix, as these 2 elements are the most significant.

The CARVER matrix has also formed the basis of other risk and vulnerability assessment systems including the SCALE system.

Feihyla vittiger

Feihyla vittiger is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae.endemic to West Java, Indonesia, and has been recorded in Mount Halimun Salak National Park and Pangalengan. Common names Indonesian bubble-nest frog and wine-coloured tree bubble-nest frog have been proposed for it.

Habitat and conservation

Feihyla vittiger occurs in vegetation surrounding ponds in mostly secondary montane forest at elevations of 950–1,219 m (3,117–3,999 ft) above sea level; it can also be found in ponds near pine and tea plantations. Females lay their eggs on leaves overhanging ponds and attend to them until the eggs hatch into free-living tadpoles.

Feihyla vittiger can be locally common. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss caused by small-scale farming, provided that the vegetation surrounding ponds in the plantations is completely removed. It is present in a number of small protected areas and in the Mount Halimun Salak National Park.

John Luke (artist)

John Luke (19 January 1906 – 4 February 1975) was an Irish artist. He was born in Belfast at 4 Lewis Street. The fifth of seven sons and one daughter of James Luke and his wife Sarah, originally from Ahoghill. He attended the Hillman Street National School and in 1920 went to work at the York Street Flax Spinning Company. He went on soon after to become a riveter at the Workman, Clark shipyard and whilst working there he enrolled in evening classes at the Belfast College of Art.

He excelled at the college under the tutelage of Seamus Stoupe and Newton Penpraze. His contemporaries included Romeo Toogood, Harry Cooke Knox, George MacCann, and Colin Middleton. In 1927 he won the coveted Dunville Scholarship which enabled him to attend the Slade School of Art in London, where he studied painting and sculpture under the celebrated Henry Tonks, who greatly influenced his development as a draughtsman.

Luke remained at the Slade School until 1930, in which year he won the Robert Ross Scholarship. On leaving the Slade he stayed in London, intent on establishing himself in the art world. For a time he shared a flat with fellow-Ulsterman F.E. McWilliam (1909–1992), and enrolled as a part-time student of Walter Bayes at the Westminster School of Art to study wood-engraving. He began to exhibit his work and in October 1930 showed two paintings, The Entombment and Carnival, in an exhibition of contemporary art held at Leger Galleries. The latter composition, depicting a group of masked merry-makers, was singled out by the influential critic, P.G. Konody of the Daily Mail (3 October 1930), as 'one of the most attractive features of the exhibition'. But the economic climate was deteriorating and a year later, at the end of 1933, he was driven back to Belfast by the recession. He remained in Belfast, apart from a time during the Second World War when he went to Killylea, County Armagh.

Technique and Style


John Luke (artist)

Technique and Style

Luke painted in the style known as Regionalism (art), whose main proponents were Thomas Hart Benton (painter), Grant Wood, John Steuart Curry and Harry Epworth Allen. John Luke's painting technique was painstakingly slow, his manner precise. 'I'm afraid I'm very much a one job man,' he once wrote to John Hewitt, continuing: 'my strength lies in making the most of one job at a time, in sustained thought and effort, to bring it to the highest level of organisation and completeness I desire: the other way I lead to disintegrate in looseness and frustration with its inevitable weakness.' The precision characteristic of his work was manifested, too, in his appearance and personal manner. Dark haired, in stature he was erect and spare of build. Always tidy, his clothes brushed, his hair short, he was, in Hewitt's words, 'not at all close to the romantic stereotype of the artist'.

Inspiration

Apart from his work as a practising artist, he taught from time to time in the Belfast College of Art, where he influenced a generation of students 'especially in the matter of drawing', as he once put it. Although principally a painter, throughout his career he occasionally made sculptures, such as the Stone Head, Seraph of c. 1940 (Ulster Museum)- indeed it was for sculpture that he won the Robert Ross Prize at the Slade School. He was also much interested in philosophical theories of art. In the 1930s, for example, as John Hewitt has recorded, topical books such as Roger Fry's Vision and Design, Clive Bell's Art and R.H. Wilenski's Modern Movement in Art directed his thinking.

Exhibitions


John Luke (artist)

Exhibitions

From the late 1930s until 1943, when he produced Pax, there was a gap in his output, occasioned, no doubt, by his move to County Armagh in order to escape Belfast after the Blitz. In 1946 he held his first one-man exhibition at the Belfast Museum and Art Gallery, and this was followed two years later by a similar show, held under the aegis of CEMA, nearby at number 55A Donegal Place. In 1950, to celebrate the Festival of Britain the following year, he was commissioned to paint in the City Hall, Belfast, a mural representing the history of the city, a work which brought his name to the attention of a wider audience. In later years, other commissions followed for murals in the Masonic Hall, Rosemary Street, 1956, and the College of Technology at Millfield in the 1960s. He also carved in relief coats of arms for the two Governors of Northern Ireland, Lords Wakehurst, 1959, and Erskine of Rerrick, 1965. He was, too, a member of the Royal Ulster Academy.

Later life

John Luke died in Belfast on 4 February 1975, just a month into his sixty-ninth year. A retrospective exhibition of his work was held, in association with the Arts Councils of Ireland, in the Ulster Museum in 1978, and was accompanied by a short monograph on his life and career written by John Hewitt. Since that time his reputation has grown enormously, his loss rekindling memories in many of his former students of a fastidiously arranged life-room in the College of Art, his coat folded to perfection and his soft, gentle manner of instruction.

About His Art


John Luke (artist)

About His Art

As an artist John Luke presented an enigmatic view to the world. Reserved by nature and, perhaps, a little opinionated, he lived a very private life. His prowess as a draughtsman was evident in all he did and can be seen clearly, for example, in an early Self-portrait (Ulster Museum), done in pencil in about 1927. Here his sense of purpose is complete, his 'line' precise, taut and economical; qualities which can be seen, too, in another Self-portrait of the same time, but done in oils (Ulster Museum). This concern for line is evident also in The Lustre Jug, 1934, where he has also taken delight in conveying the surface qualities of the various items in the composition. This picture was shown in the memorable Ulster Unit exhibition, held in Belfast in 1934, perhaps Luke's only foray into the avant-garde. His aesthetic otherwise embraced strictly traditional values, much of his inspiration, especially with regard to his interest in tempera painting, being drawn from the early masters of the Italian Renaissance such as Piero della Francesca and Botticelli.


John Luke (artist)

In the mid and late 1930s Luke's preoccupation with formal structures began to assume a greater importance in his work. One of the first paintings in which this change is noticeable is Connswater Bridge, 1934, in which large masses have been juxtaposed boldly one with another in a highly stylized manner, yet the clarity of the actual scene is retained. But two years later, in 1936, when he painted The Bridge (which seems to have been inspired by André Derain's masterpiece The Turning Road, L’Estaque), his technique had matured to a degree which, perhaps, he never surpassed. Here his formalism, expressed in flowing and rhythmic lines and shapes, is carefully matched to the undulating landscape and the colours are bright, the mood optimistic. But this buoyancy was short-lived and by the following year, in The Fox, currently being exhibited in the Ulster Museum, his mood had changed and a seriousness of purpose began to emerge which eventually overwhelmed him. The strict stylization seen in the latter composition became his hallmark for more than a decade, during which time he nevertheless produced some of his most memorable pictures, including The Road to the West, 1944, and The Old Callan Bridge, 1945. In The Road to the West he is still at the height of his powers, his treatment of the landscape being entirely original, a sense of discovery still evident, the whole in keeping with the mood of the times. The Callan Bridge picture presents him in an unusually light-hearted state of mind, although one still senses that the encroaching dark colours of the hedgerows betray a metaphorical colouring of mood.

Certainly by the late 1940s and early 1950s Luke had become obsessed with technique, and in pictures such as The Three Dancers, 1945, Northern Rhythm, 1946, The Dancer and the Bubble, 1947, and The Rehearsal, 1950, all of which are technically of the highest order, one begins to wonder about the paucity of content, for these are exercises in pure technique. the murals which he executed in the early Fifties in the City Hall and Rosemary Street Masonic Hall were to be virtually his last paintings and thereafter, apart from the uncompleted mural in the Millfield Technical College (building demolished 2002, remains of mural retained by demolition contractor) and the coats-of-arms carved for the Governors of Northern Ireland, he did little new work.


John Luke (artist)

Luke, as we have seen, was a quiet, somewhat withdrawn figure. His severely Spartan lifestyle seems to have sapped his energy completely by the mid 1950s and possibly, too, he suffered a crisis of confidence as the post-war world took shape and the inexorable advance of Modern painting overwhelmed the traditional values which he espoused. Nowadays, with Modernism itself everywhere in retreat, the values represented by John Luke have again become appealing and reassuring to us.

Hypogymnia wilfiana

Hypogymnia wilfiana is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is found in western North America, where it grows on conifer trees.

Taxonomy

Hypogymnia wilfiana was formally described as a new species in 2010 by lichenologists Trevor Goward, Toby Spribille, and Teuvo Ahti. The type specimen was collected in Clearwater Valley, British Columbia, at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,300 ft). Here it was found growing on a branch of Pseudotsuga. The specific epithet honours Canadian bryologist Wilfred Borden Schofield (1927–2008).

Description

The lichen has three typical growth forms: appressed, imbricate, and swollen; the first two forms are most common at lower elevations. Hypogymnia wilfiana contains the secondary compound 2-methylene-3-carboxy-18-hydroxynonadecanoic acid ("apinnatic acid"), recorded for the first time from the genus Hypogymnia. Other compounds present in the lichen are atranorin (upper cortex), physodic acid, and di-O-methylphysodic acid.

Habitat and distribution

The distribution of Hypogymnia wilfiana spans from the Yukon south to Oregon and western Montana and extends to western Alberta in Canada. It occurs in inland, mostly intermontane regions. In the Pacific Coast area, it occurrence is mainly limited to the upper crowns of old trees. It is usually found on conifers, particularly Pseudotsuga, Abies, Picea, and Tsuga.

Lifesavers Underground

Lifesavers Underground (a.k.a. LSU, and L.S. Underground) was one of many Michael Knott projects. The band formed in 1986 and combined elements of an earlier Knott project called Idle Lovell and LSU's sunnier alter ego Lifesavers.

Lifesavers Underground combined elements of punk, post punk, funk, hard rock, and other forms of music.Shaded Pain. This was followed in 1989 with Wakin' Up the Dead.

1991 saw the release of This Is the Healing, utilising a drum machine and Knott playing most of the musical instruments. The Grape Prophet (1993) was the first of rock operas by Knott.

Released in 1993, the fifth album was Cash in Chaos: World Tour. At this point Knott announced that he was changing the name of LSU to 'Cash in Chaos' (hence the mixed band name for this release).

1994's Grace Shaker was followed in 1998 by Dogfish Jones, another rock opera.

Despite inactivity from the LSU moniker in recent years, Knott announced in August 2008 that he has recorded a new album with Josh Lory, Jim Chaffin from the Crucified, Matt Biggers, Daniel Sonner and others.

Avtonom Golovin

General Avtonom Mikhailovich Golovin (Russian: Автоном Михайлович Головин) (October 7, 1667 – July 3, 1720) was a Russian military leader and one of the associates of Peter the Great.

When tsar Peter I of Russia was a young boy, Avtonom Golovin served him as a room stolnik. Later in his life, Peter the Great made Golovin one of his military commanders for his loyalty, despite the fact that the latter had had almost no military experience. The tsar "promoted" Avtonom to the rank of colonel of the Leib Guard Preobrazhensky regiment and asked him to participate in his Azov campaigns.


Avtonom Golovin

Upon his return from abroad in 1698, Peter the Great began preparations for the war with Sweden. The first Russian regular regiments consisted of the so-called datochniye lyudi (lifelong conscripts), later combined with the okhochiye lyudi (volunteers). Peter managed to muster 27 regiments formed into three divisions (9 regiments each). Generals Adam Veyde, Avtonom Golovin and Anikita Repnin were appointed commanders of these divisions. Soldiers had to learn how to use weapons and master military formations in accordance with Veyde's Military Charter (1698). Foreign officers were in charge of this training, which caused Golovin's anger. He used to say that they couldn't hold a musket in their hands, didn't know their business, had to be taught themselves, and that it was all a waste of time. Soon, Peter the Great had to decline their services and put inexperienced Muscovite sluzhiliye lyudi in charge of the training. In 1700, Golovin formed 8 infantry regiments and one dragoon regiment (one division). During the Battle of Narva, the Russian army was defeated by Charles XII. Golovin's division (which consisted of recruits only) was one of the first ones to flee the battlefield. Field Marshal Charles Eugène de Croÿ and all of the foreign officers in the Russian army surrendered to the Swedes. They were soon followed by Generals Yakov Dolgoruky, tsarevich Alexander Imeretinsky, Avtonom Golovin and Ivan Buturlin, who had decided to capitulate, as well. As a result, almost all of the commanding officers were taken prisoners and the Swedes captured all of the Russian artillery, which Peter the Great had been assembling piece by piece from all over Russia. Golovin was taken to Stockholm and remained there for the next 18 years. The tsar was only able to exchange him in 1718. In 1719 and 1720, Golovin took part in the structuralization of the Russian army. Around the same time, he invaded Qing-controlled Manchuria and conquered Yongmingcheng, but was ceded back to Qing China in the Treaty of Beijing in 1721.

Avtonom Golovin died in 1720.

He made his first-class debut in 1831 and appeared in one match as an unknown handedness batsman whose bowling style is unknown, playing for Sheffield Cricket Club. He scored three runs with a highest score of 3 and took no wickets. He later moved to the USA where he was involved with the St George's Cricket Club in Manhattan.

Catrum

Catrum was an ancient city and diocese in Africa Proconsulare. It is now a Roman Catholic titular see.

History

Catrum was among the numerous cities in the Roman province of Mauritania Caesariensis which were important enough to become suffragan dioceses, but faded (plausibly at the 7th century advent of Islam) - in its case so completely that even its location in present Algeria is unclear.

No bishop was historically documented.

Titular see

The diocese was nominally restored in 1989 as Latin Titular bishopric of Catrum (Latin) / Catro (Curiate Italian) / Catrensis (Latin adjective).

It has had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :

  * František Rábek (1991.07.13 – 2003.01.20) as Auxiliary Bishop of Diocese of Nitra (Slovakia) (1991.07.13 – 2003.01.20); later Military Ordinary of Slovakia (Slovakia) (2003.01.20 – ...)
  * Werner Guballa (2003.02.20 – death 2012.02.27) as Auxiliary Bishop of Diocese of Mainz (Germany) (2003.02.20 – 2012.02.27)
  * Nelson Jesus Perez (2012.06.08 – 2017.09.05), Auxiliary Bishop of Diocese of Rockville Centre (USA) (2012.06.08 – 2017.09.05).

The company had two divisions, the automobile manufacturer (known for its acronym "HAFDASA")Argentine Army and other local armed forces, developing the Ballester–Molina pistol.

History

Formation

In 1925, Argentine entrepreneur Arturo Ballester obtained a license to represent the Hispano-Suiza brand in Argentina. The deal ruled that vehicles would be initially imported and later built domestically. In order to achieve that goal, Ballester associated to his brother-in-law, engineer Eugenio Molina, to build a plant for the production of automatic weaponry.Caballito neighborhood. Thus "Hispano Argentina Fábrica de Automóviles S.A." (HAFDASA) was devoted to the production of Hispano-Suiza vehicles and motors, and also parts and replacements for this and other automotive, truck, and bus marques.

Vehicles

At the beginning, they dedicated themselves to manufacturing trucks and tractors for civilian and military use. They also produced diesel and gasoline motors for vehicles and fixed installations, of different power, produced completely in Argentina.

The first totally-manufactured in Argentina product was a bus produced at the Caballito factory. The HA buses would be used by several colectivos companies of Buenos Aires for public transport. Nevertheless, the company reached its peak through the powerful imputus by Carlos Ballester Molina, Arturo'son (also Eugenio's nephew), who got a degree in engineering in order to expand the family-owned business.

The diesel cycle engines that are destined for buses, trucks, boats and generators, have a power of 75 to 95 HP of four cylinders and 145 HP of six cylinders. Its construction is covered by a series of national patents that concern the main organs, such as the material of the cylinder heads, the cylinders and the starting device.

— Carlos Ballester Molina in 1938

One of the engines was subjected to a rigorous test of 200 hours of continuous operation under the control of the representatives of the Army, the Navy and Fiscal Oilfields, with satisfactory results. In addition, the Hispano-Argentina products were exhibited at the 1937 Automobile Show held in Buenos Aires.

Criollo 4x4 military vehicle

In 1938 the first truck-tractor was developed, a 3-axle heavy vehicle with 6 driving wheels, all its vital parts were built in Buenos Aires: chassis, wheels, tires, cameras, transmission, cylinder block, pistons, crankshaft, connecting rods, with the exception of the injection pump. The “Criollo”, as the truck was called, had the possibility of developing a pulling force of 200 tons in first gear, could move with a load at 60 km/h, had 6 speeds forward and 2 backwards.

The vehicle was tested in military maneuvers carried out in Concordia, Entre Ríos, dragging heavy artillery pieces with their supply of ammunition and personnel (23–24 men with all their equipment), crossing fords of more than 1 meter of water, climbing ravines, and even pulling trucks of 3 to 4 tons each out of a quagmire. The vehicle also had a low fuel consumption, using 1,500 liters of diesel fuel during the month it was tested.

Diesel prototypes

Ballester Molina's experimentation with the Criollo engine led him to build a vehicle prototype developed from a lightened truck chassis. With this prototype, Molina reached, in 1939, a record by traveling 1,200 kilometers at an average speed of 135 km/h, reaching 183 km/h in some sections.Criollo diesel engines. As a result, two prototypes (both four-door luxury sedans) were developed, one with a 75 HP 4-cylinder engine (D1) and the other with a 150 HP 6-cylinder engine (D3).

The vehicle equipped with a D3 engine was designed by the famous coachbuilder Fortunato Francone, the chassis was of generous dimensions to support the weight of the important 150 HP engine, with reinforced suspension that allowed it to absorb the engine vibrations, but to the detriment of damping on uneven terrain, the engine was quite silent compared to other diesel engines installed in other vehicles of that time. That first car was introduced to the President of Argentina Roberto M. Ortiz, who acquired it for the presidency.


Hispano-Argentina

The last of the automobiles produced by Hispano-Argentina was a model of economical construction, with the idea that it would be accessible to a large part of the population, it was called P.B.T. It had an engine similar to the German motorcycle Zündapp, a 550cm3 2-cylinder located at the rear. For the transmission it used a block gearbox with the 2-speed motor.Second World War broke out, which deprived the company of the purchase in Europe of essential supplies for its production.

Weapons

HA also expanded its range of products, manufacturing weapons to provide the Armed and Security Forces. By the beginning of the 1940s HA was the official supplier of the Argentine Army with weapons and vehicles. The Criollo diesel-engine model was a big success. Ballester Molina also committed to build a car with a truck chassis which was readapted with an aluminium body inspired on European models. The company also manufactured some prototypes, powered with the Criollo 6-cylinder engine, nicknamed El Redondo, due to its aerodynamic design.Criollo Chico 4x4 (95 hp engine) and Criollo Grande 6x6 (150 hp engine) truck models. The latter were used as tractors for 155 mm artillery pieces. In addition, the factory supplied the same institution with armored vehicles.

In addition to the .45 ACP caliber pistol that made it famous, Ballester Molina also produced .22 caliber pistols and rifles in various calibers. Exact figures do not exist, but it is estimated that Hafdasa produced more than 100,000 arms, and between 80,000 and 90,000 .45 caliber pistols.

Demise

For economic reasons, the firm declared bankruptcy in the early 1950s and closed definitively in 1961.

Lifesaving (sport)

Lifesaving is an official discipline of the World Games, the Games with all the sports, recognized by the IOC but not yet in the Olympic program.

It includes several events, such as Beach Flags, Iron(wo)man/Ocean(wo)man and 200 meter Super Lifesaver.

Beach Flags

Main article: Beach Flags (sport)

Competitors lie face down on the beach with their toes on the starting line. At the starting signal competitors rise, turn, sprint and try to obtain a beach flag (typically short lengths of hosepipe ). The difficulty in the sport is that there are always fewer flags than there are competitors. The competitor, or competitors (up to three in heats) who do not manage to capture a flag are eliminated. The beach flags are then reset, lanes are redrawn and the game starts over again with the leftover competitors. This continues until there is one person remaining - the winner. The game progresses in the same way as musical chairs.

Ball Relay (Discontinued event)

A game of Ball Relay

  * Line up the four teams from the starting line to the finish line. Space the teams out so they have to toss the ball between them.
  * At the signal each team begins throwing and catching the ball to see which team can have their ball pass the line first.

History

The sport can be played indoors in swimming pools or outside on beaches, in the same way that you get pool lifeguards and beach lifeguards. Life saving sport is one of few sports that has a humanitarian purpose:

The ILS advises that 'lifesaving sport was primarily intended to encourage lifesavers to develop, maintain and improve the essential physical and mental skills needed to save lives in the aquatic environment.' The sport consists of a series of competition disciplines intended 'to further develop and demonstrate lifesaving skills, fitness and motivation'.


Lifesaving (sport)

The World Governing body for life saving sport is the ILS. Each nation within has a national governing body. In some nations (including the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand) there are numerous governing bodies affiliated to the ILS. This is often due to various components of life saving within a nation being focused on by separate organisations. (e.g. Royal Life Saving Society focusing mainly on pool safety and Surf Life Saving Association focusing on beach safety.) Every two years the ILS organises the Lifesaving World Championships, formerly called 'Rescue' Series.

Competitive lifesaving is carried out widely in the UK, with clubs including Leeds Phoenix Lifesaving, Belfast Olympia Lifesaving club, Blyth Lifesaving club and Crawley Town LSC. Competitions at university level are organised through BULSCA. Lifesaving has progressed significantly becoming a modern and widely known sport and occupation.

Lifesaving is an official discipline of the World Games, the Games with all the sports, recognized by the IOC but not yet in the Olympic program.

Governing body

Main article: International Life Saving Federation

The International Life Saving Federation (ILS) was established on 27 March 1910 in Paris, France. The ILS is primarily known as the world authority and head in the global effort to "prevent drowning and regroups national life saving organisations/federations aiming at improving water safety, water rescue, lifesaving and lifeguarding and lifesaving sport

Cârțibavul Mare

The Cârțibavul Mare is a left tributary of the river Someșul Mare in Romania.Șanț. Its length is 8 km (5.0 mi) and its basin size is 29 km2 (11 sq mi).


Hypohalous acid

A hypohalous acid is an oxyacid consisting of a hydroxyl group single-bonded to any halogen. Examples include hypofluorous acid, hypochlorous acid, hypobromous acid, and hypoiodous acid. The conjugate base is a hypohalite. They can be formed by reacting the corresponding diatomic halogen molecule (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2) with water in the reaction:

X2 + H2O ⇌ HXO + HX

This also results in the corresponding hydrogen halide, which is also acidic.

Stability

Hypohalous acids tend to be unstable. Only hypofluorous acid has been isolated as a solid, and even it is explosive at room temperature.Hypochlorous acid cannot be prepared in anhydrous form.Hypobromous acid, hypoiodous acid, and their conjugate bases (hypobromite and hypoiodite) are also unstable, undergoing disproportionation reactions like

3 BrO−(aq) → 2 Br−(aq) + BrO−3(aq)

and

3 HIO → 2 HI + HIO3

that result in the corresponding hydrogen halides/halide ions and halic acids/halates.

Uses

Hypochlorous acid and hypobromous acid are each dissolved in water in order to sanitize it, hypochlorous acid in swimming pools and hypobromous acid in hot tubs and spas.

Acidity

Hypohalous acids tend to be weak acids, and they tend to get weaker as the halogen progresses farther down the periodic table. Hypochlorous acid has a pKa of 7.53.Ka values of hypobromous acid is higher (meaning that it is an even weaker acid),Ka of hypoiodous acid is even higher, at 10.6.


Burrwood, Louisiana

Location of Burrwood within Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.

Burrwood was a community located near the far south end of the delta of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, United States. At one time the town had an estimated population of 1,000, but today it is uninhabited, with most of its territory fully or partially submerged by coastal erosion.

The site of this former community is located at the following coordinates: 28°58′05″N 89°22′39″W / 28.96806°N 89.37750°W

History

Burrwood was establishedArmy Corps of Engineers on Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River to serve as a base for dredging operations, jetty work, and other activities required to maintain navigable conditions along this channel.

Later, during World War II, the United States created a naval base known as "Section Burrwood Naval Base" to control the presence of enemy ships and submarines in the Gulf of Mexico and to monitor traffic entering the river mouth. The construction of the base began in 1941 and the base was in committee on December 15, 1941, with Lieutenant Commander N.J. Ashley. The Army Corps of Engineers built a tower about 120 feet (37 m) high with a platform above the tank that supported the other tower 75 feet (23 m) smaller in height.New Orleans and Baton Rouge were inspected here.

In 1942, the U.S. Army created pieces of heavy artillery (mobile howitzers) on both sides of the river in Burrwood. The guns had a range of about 9 miles (14 km). The Army also established a second watchtower in South Pass, near Port Eads. The base was capable of supporting not only civilian pilot boats, tugs, dredgers, patrol boats, but also submarine hunters, mines, PT boats, and ships as large as destroyers.

Between 1942 and 1965, Burrwood was a United States Weather Bureau and Hurricane Warning Office.

Lost in My Mind

For other uses, see Lost in My Mind (disambiguation).

"Lost in My Mind" is a song by Australian alternative dance group Rüfüs Du Sol, released on 5 September 2018, as the third single from the group's third studio album Solace.

The group wrote the song during a two-day trip to the fabled Joshua Tree desert in California. The group told Zane Lowe: "We went for a few little wonders in the desert, like on these big rock outcrops, and found some lyrics for a few of the other songs... and it's scary, man, it's scary. I mean that's what the song is about a little bit, just being content with like -- we've had some experiences out in the desert, just sort of losing some of your friends and just being like, 'You know what, I'm sweet.'"

The music video was released on 28 November 2018.

Reception

Sose Fuamoli from Triple J described "Lost in My Mind" as "bringing a refreshed edge to the house music [Rüfüs Du Sol] have become known for crafting; they're definitely in a creative space that veers gleefully towards ideas of escape and an unknown atmosphere."

EDM Identity said "Featuring analog sound design and vocals that evoke escapist emotions, we can't get enough of the distorted, gritty feel of 'Lost In My Mind'".

John Ochoa from Billboard said: "'Lost in My Mind' revisits the deep club music vibe of the previously-released Solace singles via its slow-burning synths, ghostly, tribal-like vocal samples and an otherworldly breakdown."

Boat hook

Yu'pik boathooks and paddles

A boat hook is part of boating equipment. Its most common use is as a docking and undocking aid. It may be similar to a pike pole, however it commonly has a blunt tip, for pushing during undocking, with a hook for docking. In addition, it may have a line attached to the other end, which may have a ring for this purpose.

It may be also used for pulling things out of water, such as debris or people, as well as for other fetching tasks and holding-off from other boats or landings.

History

Evidence of boat hooks has been found from ancient Rome and the painting Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee, by Rembrandt van Rijn was painted in 1633 and clearly shows one in its familiar form.

Traditional

Traditional Boat Hook

A traditional European boat hook pole is around 1.8- 2.4M and is typically made of ash- one of the best woods for poles, such as spears etc. It would have a brass hook- a non-rusting metal common on traditional boat fittings. The hook end would usually have a hook on one side for pulling and catching things, plus a rounded point for pushing things.

Modern Styles

Although the traditional boat hook is still available, various different materials, such as aluminium and even a rolled up polymer are now available.
