Forest Flower
|
Forest Flower: Charles Lloyd at Monterey is a live album by jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd, recorded at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1966 by the Charles Lloyd Quartet featuring Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette. The album was a crossover hit, becoming popular on FM rock radio, and becoming one of the first jazz albums to sell over one million copies.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated: "It is difficult to believe that, with players so young (and having been together under a year), Lloyd was able to muster a progressive jazz that was so far-reaching and so undeniably sophisticated, yet so rich and accessible... By the time the band reaches its final number they have touched upon virtually the entire history of jazz and still pushed it forward with seamless aplomb. Forest Flower is a great live record".

Wilhelm Lauche (21 May 1827, Gartow – 12 September 1883) was a German gardener, dendrologist and pomologist.
Horticultural career
Lauche was the son of a palace gardener for the Count of Bernstorff in Gartow, and so early was familiar with the nursery. He received his horticultural training at the Schloss Ludwigslust park and deepened it in various places such as Erfurt, Hannover, and Potsdam. Lauche spent five years planting nurseries near Potsdam, until he founded his own market garden.
Because of his reputation, in 1869 he was transferred as a royal garden supervisor to the technical management of the Royal Gardening and Nursery School (Königlichen Landesbaumschule und Gärtner-Lehranstalt) in Potsdam, which is closely linked with his name. From 1877 to 1879 he was board chairman of the German Pomological Society (Deutscher Pomologenverein).
Models of fruit that he made for a "pomological cabinet" are still visible today in the collection of the German Horticultural Museum, Erfurt.

In October 1994, Billboard magazine established Latin Pop Airplay, a chart that ranks the top-performing songs played on Latin pop radio stations in the United States based on weekly airplay data compiled by Nielsen's Broadcast Data Systems (BDS). It is a subchart of Hot Latin Songs, which lists the best-performing Spanish-language songs in the country. According to Billboard, "Latin pop" refers to pop music sung in Spanish. Five songs topped the chart in 1994 while 16 tracks did the same in 1995. Until November 5, 1994, BDS ran tests charts which only listed the number one song of the week on Billboards electronic database. Castro was also the artist with the most number-one songs in 1995 with "Con Tu Amor", "Azul Gris", and "Vuélveme a Querer". The latter song held this position for the longest with 14 weeks. Luis Miguel had two number-one songs on the chart in 1994 with "El Día Que Me Quieras" and "La Media Vuelta", the second of which was the final chart-topper of the year and the first at the start of 1995. Ednita Nazario became the first female artist to have a chart-topper with "Quiero Que Me Hagas el Amor" and achieved her second number one song a year later with "Gata Sin Luna".
Former Timbiriche band member, Claudio Bermúdez (credited for this release simply as Claudio), released his debut album Como Aire Fresco in 1994 which was promoted by its lead single "Ven Junto a Mi". "Ven Junto a Mi" spent seven consecutive weeks on top of the chart in 1995. Despite this level of chart success, the song remains Bermúdez's only number one recording. Selena's "I Could Fall in Love" posthumously became the first English-language song to song to peak at number one on the survey and remains her only number-one song on this chart. Similarly, Lucero and Julio Iglesias obtained their first and only chart-toppers in 1995. Laura Pausini was the only female act to have more than one chart-topper in 1995 with the Spanish-language versions of "Strani amori" ("Amores Extraños") and "Gente". Although it spent only a single week at number one in 1995, "Ese Hombre" by Myriam Hernández was named as the best-performing Latin pop song of the year. The final number one of 1995 was "Más Allá" by Gloria Estefan.

St. Peter's Church, Aungier Street, Dublin
|
'''St. Peter's Church''' was a former Church of Ireland parish church located in Aungier Street in Dublin, Ireland, where the Dublin YMCA building now stands. It was built on land that formerly belonged to the Whitefriars in Dublin. It served the largest Church of Ireland parish in Dublin.
The church
The land of the Whitefriars, who arrived in Dublin in the 12th century, took in what was probably a pre-Viking Irish monastic settlement. A small church, dedicated to St. Peter (St. Peter del Hille - St. Peter on the Hill), was built in 1280 near present-day Stephen Street Later a hostel and church, dedicated to St. Stephen (after which St. Stephen's Green is named) and for the use of lepers, was built nearby, and its clergy also administered to the parishioners of St. Peter's. The Whitefriars were dissolved by Henry VIII in the 16th century and their lands forfeited by the Crown during the Reformation.
In 1625 Sir Francis Aungier obtained a grant to the Whitefriars' estates. A later Francis Aungier (created Earl of Longford) started developing the area and while building Aungier Street in 1677 also contributed to the building of the church, which was completed in 1685. The church took the place of the two older churches, both falling into ruin.
Georgian rebuilding (1750-52)
The church appears to have been largely rebuilt to a Georgian style under the direction of architect Michael Wills from 1750-52.
The new St Peter's was enlarged in 1773.
Gothic rebuilding (1864-67)
It was rebuilt in the Gothic style in 1867, retaining only the nave walls of the original church. The architect was Edward Henry Carson, father of Edward Carson. At the time it was the largest Church of Ireland parish church in Dublin. The church was demolished in 1983.
In the 19th century, charity sermons were delivered in the church by guest preachers. The most famous of these at the church was the Rev. Walter Blake Kirwan (1754–1805). For a number of years, he managed to raise over £4,000 per annum for charity, in addition to donations of jewellery, watches and other items which parishioners overcome with emotion spontaneously threw into the collection plate.
The churchyard
The churchyard of St. Peter's was the final resting place of many members of the parish, which in the 19th century grew to be the largest Church of Ireland parish in Dublin. It was also used as a burial place by the Huguenot community. The churchyard continued in use until about 1883.
After the church was closed the churchyard was taken over by W & R Jacob's biscuit factory as a recreation ground for its staff. When the land was developed in the 1980s the remains of the Huguenots were transferred to Mount Jerome cemetery. In December 2000 planning permission was granted to the YMCA by Dublin Corporation to erect a hostel at the site.
Among the notable people buried in St. Peter's Churchyard were the Earl of Roden and several members of his family, along with a great number of bishops and other dignitaries. Also interred there are the Dunboyne family, the judge Charles Burton, Mary Anne Holmes, and the notorious Black Jack Fitzgibbon, Earl of Clare and Lord High Chancellor of Ireland.
The parish
Due to the shortage of clergymen after the Restoration, the new parish of St. Peter in 1680 consisted of the old parish, the whole of St. Kevin's, almost all St. Stephen's and a good part of St. Bridged's. Due to the large size of the parish, several chapels of ease were required to administer it. These included St. Kevin's in Camden Row, St. Stephen's in Mount St. and several others. The parish corresponded to the civil parish of St. Peter's. and Lieutenant-general Archibald Hamilton, who fought at the Siege of Derry, in 1688.
The novelist Charles Robert Maturin (1780–1824) was born in Dublin of a Huguenot family. In 1805 he became curate of St Peter's, where he remained until his death.
The church was the parochial church of the family of Robert Emmet and family members, notably Emmet's grand-nephew Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet, believed that Emmet was reburied in the family vault in St Peter's. According to this story, which was independently shared by the Hammond family, friends of the Emmets, the interment of Mary Anne Holmes around 1804 was used to secretly transfer Emmet's body from St. Michan's Church with the help of the Rev Thomas Gamble, who ministered in St Michan's. he died at Posillipo in 1887 and was buried in the English Cemetery, Naples.
Catherine, daughter of Owen Connellan, writer, antiquarian and Professor of Celtic Languages and Literature at Cork, who had a house in Emor Street, was married in the church.<ref name="Church records"/>
The writer Catherine Mary MacSorley (1848-1929) was the daughter of Rev. John James MacSorley, rector of the church at the end of the 19th century.
George Bernard Shaw attended St. Peter's parish school in Camden Row.

Russell M. Perry
|
Russell M. Perry is an American businessman, banker, publisher, and broadcaster from Oklahoma. Perry served as the Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce from 1999 to 2000, having been appointed by governor of Oklahoma Frank Keating. Perry was the first African American to hold that position. After being nominated by Keating, Perry was never confirmed by the Oklahoma Senate. Perry's appointment became a central issue in the 2001 Oklahoma Supreme Court case Keating v. Edmondson.
Corporate career
Perry started the Black Chronicle in 1979, a statewide newspaper based out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma that focuses on the African community in Oklahoma. At the same time, Perry founded and become the President of Perry Publishing and Broadcasting Company, which is a print media, cable television and radio broadcasting corporation. Perry Publishing owns radio stations KVSP and KRMP in Oklahoma City, KJMM and KGTO in Tulsa, among others.
Perry would later come to own the controlling interest in First Security Bank of Oklahoma City.
Keating Administration
Commerce Secretary
In 1999, following the resignation of Howard Barnett Jr., Governor of Oklahoma Frank Keating appointed Perry to serve as his third Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce, making Perry the first African American to ever serve in that position.
Perry served as Secretary in an unconfirmed basis while his Governor Keating sent his nomination to the Oklahoma Senate. Initially Perry's nomination was set to be heard by Senate Economic Development Committee, where the nominations of Dean Werries, Ron Rosenfeld and Howard Barnett Jr. (Keating's former Secretaries of Commerce) had been heard. However, President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate Stratton Taylor (at the request of State Senator Angela Monson) transferred his nomination to the Senate Finance Committee, which Senator Monson chaired. Though 10 members of the 15 member committee favored Perry's appointment, Senator Monson blocked the nomination by never allowing it to be heard before the Finance Committee. Ultimately, the Oklahoma Senate adjourned without ever hearing Perry's nomination.
Governor Keating and Perry claimed that the reason Perry's nomination was not heard was because he was a conservative Republican African American. They claimed that the move was done at the request of the Legislative Black Caucus, all member of which were Democrats. Senator Monson, however, said that Perry's salary as Commerce Secretary would cost the State too much and be duplicative.
Economic Development Secretary
After Perry spent a year in political limbo, in May 2000 Governor Keating issued executive order 2000–11 which abolished the position of Secretary of Commerce and established the position of Secretary of Economic Development and Special Affairs. Keating then nominated Perry to the new position, which Perry would serve in on a voluntary basis.
On June 8, 2000, Senator Monson submitted a request for an official opinion to Attorney General of Oklahoma Drew Edmondson concerning Keating's actions. Edmondson issued Attorney General Opinion 2000–54 on October 26, 2000, in which Edmondson found Keating's actions against the provisions of the Executive Branch Reform Act of 1986. Governor Keating then filed a petition on October 27, 2000, in Oklahoma County District Court to overturn Edmondson's opinion. After hearing oral arguments, the trial judge upheld the Attorney General's opinion.
On December 29, 2000, Keating appealed a single issue – whether a Governor is empowered to reorganize the executive cabinet throughout the term of office. The appeal was sent to the Oklahoma Supreme Court for consideration.
In May 2001, Keating withdraw Perry's nomination for consideration as Economic Development Secretary and instead appointed Perry as his Special Adviser for Economic Development, which is a non-cabinet-level post.
Keating v. Edmondson
The Supreme Court decided the case of Keating v. Edmondson on December 4, 2001. In a unanimous decision, the Court rejected the Governor's appeal and upheld Edmondson's opinion. Chief Justice Rudolph Hargrave authored the majority opinion and was joined by Justices Watt, Hodges, Lavender, Opala, Kauger, Summers, and Boudreau. Justice Winchester wrote a concurring opinion to the majority. Noting that the legislative intent was clear and not ambiguous, the Court rejected the Governor's position and found that state law provided the Governor no power to alter Cabinet positions at will.
Personal life
In 2006, Perry was inducted into the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
Perry was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2013.

Kimi and Ritz
|
Kimi and Ritz were a short-lived English pop vocal duo in the early 1970s, comprising Richard O'Brien (best known as the creator of cult stage musical The Rocky Horror Show) and his then-wife, Kimi Wong. Although the duo only recorded six songs (of which two were never even released), they have since acquired something of a cult reputation in the light of O'Brien's subsequent success as a performer and songwriter.
Background
In 1971, Richard O'Brien and his girlfriend Kimi Wong were struggling actors, performing in the English touring production of the stage musical Hair. During this time they befriended fellow cast member John Sinclair and, through him, John's childhood friend Andrew (Andy) Leighton, a budding record engineer. When Sinclair left Hair after a knee injury, he and Leighton attempted to establish their own recording studio, and then co-founded a music publishing company, Druidcrest Music. By this time, Richard O'Brien had left the cast of Hair to join the original London production of Jesus Christ Superstar, although he soon left when the management disagreed over his interpretation of Herod. He and Kimi were married on 4 December 1971. After the birth of their son the following April, Kimi re-joined the cast of Hair (playing the featured role of Chrissie) while O'Brien stayed home and looked after their son while working on the script that would eventually become The Rocky Horror Show. Although O'Brien himself was involved in these projects in various capacities (as a writer, co-writer and/or vocalist), he and his wife never again recorded under the name Kimi & Ritz. Kimi Wong appeared in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), and in O'Brien's follow-up stage musical, T Zee (1976) before the couple divorced in 1979. Both the original 7-inch vinyl releases, and the bootleg CD (of which only 35 copies were pressed) remain extremely rare and sought-after collector's items, particularly amongst fans of The Rocky Horror Show. In more recent years, the tracks (except for the still-unreleased "Liebesträume" and "There's a Light" recordings) have circulated as internet downloads from various websites.

The Dictionary of American Biography (DAB) was a multi-volume dictionary published in New York City by Charles Scribner's Sons under the auspices of the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS).
History
The dictionary was first proposed to the Council in 1920 by historian Frederick Jackson Turner. The first edition was published in 20 volumes from 1928 to 1936, appearing at a rate of two or three volumes per year. These 20 volumes contained 15,000 biographies. In 1946, the 20 volumes were released as a ten-volume set, with each of the ten volumes divided into two parts (Part 1 and Part 2) corresponding to two volumes of the first edition combined into one, the page numbering of the first edition being retained.
The ACLS appealed to Adolph Ochs, publisher of The New York Times, for funding. He loaned the Council $50,000 per year for 10 years. Ochs exercised no editorial control.
The dictionary included no biographies of the living, and some period of residence in the United States was required for inclusion. These twenty volumes had numerous quirks. For example, the entry for Mary Baker Eddy filled eight pages, the entry for Mark Twain only six and a half. Connecticut and Massachusetts were overrepresented, while Arizona had just one entry. Noticeable omissions included, among others, Sojourner Truth, Martha Washington, Scott Joplin, Charles Guiteau, and Joe Hill.
With the passage of time the usefulness of the series as a reference work waned. Ten supplementary volumes were issued, between 1944 and 1995, each covering people who had died after the previous supplement. The first eight supplements were produced under the auspices of the American Council of Learned Societies. By terms of an agreement signed in 1990, Macmillan was allowed to produce the final two supplements, covering people who had died through 1980, without the council's participation. (Macmillan acquired the dictionary's publisher Charles Scribner's Sons in 1984.) When Macmillan in 1993 applied to the ACLS for permission to publish a further supplement, the Council refused.
In mid 1995 Macmillan announced that it would put the old D.A.B. on CD-ROM, with updates to the existing entries as well as new biographies of people left out of the old dictionary. Professor Stanley N. Katz, then president of the council, protested that the publisher had no legal right to do so without the council's approval. Macmillan insisted that the terms of the 1927 licensing agreement with Scribner's gave it the right to publish the dictionary "in all forms." In May 1996 the American Council of Learned Societies sued Macmillan in Federal District Court in Manhattan to try to block it from publishing the D.A.B. on CD-ROM and adding what it considered unauthorized supplements. "Our client has taken the position that we want the original work preserved in its pristine form," said Lawrence S. Robbins, a lawyer representing the council. "We regard it as a treasure and we don't want it to be tinkered with. The suit says, in part, we don't want it updated, missing-personed, digitized, colorized. We want it to exist the way it is." Macmillan moved to have the lawsuit thrown out.
The ACLS signed a contract with Oxford University Press to publish a new series to be called the American National Biography, with financial support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Macmillan, which had acquired Scribner's, decided to publish its own project supplementing the original Dictionary of American Biography, and called it The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives (SEAL), with Kenneth T. Jackson (who had been editor-in-chief of the DAB from 1990 to 1996) as the editor-in-chief.NotesReferences* Dictionary of American BiographyExternal links*[https://archive.org/search.php?querytitle%3A%28%22Dictionary%20of%20American%20biography%22%29 Search results of Dictionary of American Biography] at the Internet Archive

Orcutt Oil Field
|
thumb|right|350px|Location of the Orcutt Oil Field in southern and central California. Other oil fields are shown in dark gray.
The Orcutt Oil Field is a large oil field in the Solomon Hills south of Orcutt, in Santa Barbara County, California, United States. Discovered in 1901 by William Warren Orcutt, it was the first giant field (over in ultimate recovery) to be found in Santa Barbara County, and its development led to the boom town of Orcutt, now the major unincorporated southern suburb of Santa Maria. With a cumulative production in 2008 of of oil, it is the largest onshore producing field in Santa Barbara County. The field, mostly located on the old Careaga family ranch, also contains the remains of the ghost town of Bicknell, a company town built for oil workers in the early years of the 20th century, but abandoned in the mid-1930s.
Setting
thumb|350px|Detail of the Orcutt field, showing adjacent highways and the town of Orcutt to the north.
The Orcutt field occupies a large portion of the Solomon Hills and Careaga canyon south of Orcutt, including most of the otherwise undeveloped land between Highway 101 on the east and State Route 135 on the west. Its total productive area is , almost . Most of the active oilfield operations are invisible from the populated parts of the Santa Maria Valley, as the wells, tanks, and other facilities are behind the Graciosa Ridge, which rises to elevation at Mount Solomon, and the most active part of the field in 2009 was on the south slope of the range. There are no public roads entering the field.
Terrain is rolling and occasionally steep, with wellpads cut into hillsides or occupying flat areas. Native vegetation is a mix of chaparral and oak woodlands (California montane chaparral and woodlands), with some stands of Bishop pine (Pinus muricata) on north-facing slopes.
The region has a Mediterranean climate, with cool and rainy winters, and dry summers during which the heat is greatly diminished by fog and northwesterly winds from the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean, which is about west of the field. Prevailing winds year-round are from the west-northwest. Approximately of rain falls in a typical winter, with the rainy season lasting from around November to April. Drainage on the south side of the hills is down Harris Canyon, Long Canyon, and Careaga Canyon, to San Antonio Creek, which exits to the ocean through Vandenberg Air Force Base. Drainage to the north is to Orcutt Creek, which passes Old Town Orcutt on the north on its way to its juncture with the Santa Maria River and the Pacific Ocean near Guadalupe.
Geology
thumb|350px|Santa Maria Valley Oil Field Structure Map, 1943
The Orcutt field is one of several along the Casmalia-Orcutt Anticline, one of several anticlinal structures in the region along which oil fields are found, with the Solomon Hills being the surface expression of this anticline. In the Orcutt field, oil has pooled in a dome-like structure bounded on the north by the Orcutt Fault and on the southwest by the Casmalia Fault, at a minimum depth of in a diatomite formation. The deepest oil-producing horizon was not discovered until 1981, and yields oil from about below ground surface.
The capping geologic units are the Sisquoc, Careaga, and Foxen formations. The Careaga and Foxen are of Pliocene age, while the thicker, diatomaceous Sisquoc is both Pliocene and Upper Miocene. Beneath these, separated by an unconformity, is the fractured shale of the Monterey Formation which has been richly productive for over 100 years.
Oil from the field is heavy in the main Monterey producing horizon, with API gravity of 14-17. The Point Sal, discovered in 1905 at a depth of , has lighter oil, with gravity 22-24. Some of the more recently discovered deep horizons, such as the Lospe in the Careaga Area, or the Deep Monterey in the field's Main Area, are lighter yet. These two pools were discovered in 1985 and 1981, respectively. It produced over in its long history, not being plugged and abandoned until 1988. The origin of the name "Old Maud" has not been definitively determined; some sources attribute it to the name of a mule, others to a favored town prostitute.
thumb | Orcutt Oil Field (Early 1900’s)
Peak oil production from the Orcutt field – or the Santa Maria field as it was known then – occurred early, in 1908, at in that year. By this year the boom town of Orcutt, built to house the oilfield workers, already had approximately 1,000 residents, along with saloons, hotels, and restaurants. Production from the field began to slow after the peak, and in the late 1920s Union Oil, which by then owned the majority of the field, cut production in half. Breitburn remains the largest operator on the field. Another operator active as of 2010 is Pacific Resources, LLC, a division of Santa Maria Pacific.

Pee Dee Light Artillery
|
The Pee Dee Light Artillery was a distinguished Confederate light artillery battery during the American Civil War. The origins of the battery began as the Darlington Guards, a local militia of Darlington, South Carolina. The Darlington Guards volunteered their service to South Carolina on January 4, 1861, for a period of six months. These men were the very first soldiers to volunteer to fight in Civil War. They became Company B, First South Carolina Volunteers, commanded by Captain F.F. Warley and Lieutenant David Gregg McIntosh. After six months on the Charleston, South Carolina, coast and a short campaign in Virginia, the unit was released. Half the unit remained with Captain Warley and served the remainder of the war as the Darlington Guards. The other half reformed in Darlington, South Carolina, under McIntosh. The unit called themselves the Pee Dee Rifles and in August 1861 rendered their service as an infantry unit to the Confederate States of America for the duration of the war. While in training in Suffolk, Virginia, in the winter of 1861-62, the unit was reorganized as Company D, First South Carolina Regiment, a light artillery battery, and became the Pee Dee Light Artillery.
In 1862, the battery was assigned to General A.P. Hill’s Light Artillery Division and fought in the Seven Days Battles. During that battle, two horses were shot from beneath Captain McIntosh in a single day. Afterwards, the battery was reorganized under General Stonewall Jackson’s famous Second Corps. The battery fought with General Jackson at the Battles of Cedar Mountain, Second Manassas, Chantilly, Harpers Ferry, Sharpsburg and the Fredericksburg. In 1863, the battery fought in the Battle of Chancellorsville and the Battle of Gettysburg. In 1864, the battery did not have enough men and horses to effectively operate in battle. In June 1864, the battery exchanged service with Charles Battery serving in the Charleston Harbor. In 1864 the Pee Dee Light Artillery served around Charleston Harbor until they were utilized in an effort to slow down Sherman’s March to the Sea. In 1865, the Pee Dee Light Artillery continued as part of the Confederate forces under General Johnston. On April 26, 1865, General Johnston surrendered his forces. The battle flag of the Pee Dee Light Artillery was never surrendered. Instead, it was wrapped around the body of the battery guidon bearer, Private R.C. Nettles who returned to South Carolina. The battle flag remained in the hands of the members of the Pee Dee Light Artillery in the Darlington area until 1905, when it was turned over to the South Carolina Legislature by surviving veterans. The flag has recently been preserved and remains today in the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum in Columbia, South Carolina.

Wellington Suburbs (New Zealand electorate)
|
Wellington Suburbs was a parliamentary electorate in Wellington, New Zealand. It existed from 1893 to 1902, then from 1908 to 1911, and from 1919 to 1946. The electorate was represented by six Members of Parliament.
Population centres
In the 1892 electoral redistribution, population shift to the North Island required the transfer of one seat from the South Island to the north. The resulting ripple effect saw every electorate established in 1890 have its boundaries altered, and eight electorates were established for the first time, including Wellington Suburbs.HistorySuburbs of Wellington was formed for the . The first representative was Alfred Newman, who had been in Parliament since a . At the next election in , Newman stood in Otaki and was defeated.
Thomas Wilford of the Liberal Party won the , but the result was declared void after an election petition on the grounds of corrupt and illegal practices. Charles Wilson, also of the Liberal Party, was elected MP for Wellington Suburbs following a by-election on 23 April 1897, but retired at the end of the term in 1899. Wilford then won the electorate in the . Wellington Suburbs was abolished in 1902, and Wilford successfully contested the electorate instead.
The electorate was recreated as Wellington Suburbs in 1908 for one parliamentary term, i.e. until 1911. John Luke of the Liberal Party won the . He was defeated for Wellington Suburbs and Country in the .
The electorate was recreated in 1919. Robert Wright, who was first elected to Parliament in and was most recently representing the Wellington Suburbs and Country electorate, won the representing the Reform Party. He continued to represent the electorate until he unsuccessfully stood in the electorate in the .
Wright was succeeded by Harry Combs in 1938. He was a member of the Labour Party and represented the electorate for two parliamentary terms until 1946, when it was abolished again. Combs successfully contested in .Members of Parliament

Wellington (New Zealand electorate)
|
Wellington (originally City of Wellington), was a parliamentary electorate in Wellington, New Zealand. It existed from 1853 to 1905 with a break in the 1880s. It was a multi-member electorate. The electorate was represented, over the years, by 24 members of parliament.
Population centres
In December 1887, the House of Representatives voted to reduce its membership from general electorates from 91 to 70. The 1890 electoral redistribution used the same 1886 census data used for the 1887 electoral redistribution. In addition, three-member electorates were introduced in the four main centres. This resulted in a major restructuring of electorates, and Wellington was one of eight electorates to be re-created for the 1890 election.History
The electorate was one of the original electorates used in the 1853 election for the 1st New Zealand Parliament. During the period until 1871, Wellington was a three-member electorate.
In 1858, Isaac Featherston and William Fitzherbert resigned their seats in Parliament. Featherston apparently wanted to return to England. Instead, he successfully stood for re-election within months. The other person returned in the same by-election was William Barnard Rhodes.
The election for the 3rd Parliament was held on 11 December 1860, with the announcement of the official results on 15 December.Members of Parliament

Grevillea pteridifolia
|
, or rarely a prostrate shrub. Its leaves are long and usually pinnatisect with 13 to 29 linear or very narrowly egg-shaped lobes long and wide. The edges of the leaves are rolled under, the exposed parts of the lower surface covered with silky hairs. The flowers are arranged in clusters on one side of a rachis long, the flowers at the base of the cluster opening first. The flowers are greyish-green to silvery on the outside, the inside and the style bright orange-yellow or reddish, the pistil long. Flowering occurs in most months with a peak from May to September and the fruit is a shaggy-hairy follicle long. However, the description of the species was not published until Joseph Knight described it in his 1809 work On the cultivation of the plants belonging to the natural order of Proteeae as Grevillia Pteridifolia (the "Pteris-leaved Grevillia"). The following year Robert Brown gave it the name Grevillea chrysodendron in his work Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen. In 1870, George Bentham used Brown's name in volume 5 of his landmark publication Flora Australiensis, however it has since been reduced to synonymy with Grevillea pteridifolia as it is not the oldest published name.
Distribution and habitat
Grevillea pteridifolia is found from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, across the Northern Territory and into Queensland where it is found along the Great Dividing Range to the vicinity of Barcaldine. Grevillea 'Honey Gem' is a cross with a red form of Grevillea banksii. Similar to 'Honey Gem' is G. 'Winter Sparkles', another hybrid of G. pteridifolia and G. banksii.
The leaves were used as stuffing and as a herb when cooking emu by the Aborigines on Groote Eylandt, and used by early settlers to stuff pillows.

Temuka (New Zealand electorate)
|
Temuka was a parliamentary electorate in the Canterbury region of New Zealand from 1911 to 1946. The electorate was represented by four Members of Parliament.
Population centres
In the 1911 electoral redistribution, the North Island gained a further seat from the South Island due to faster population growth. In addition, there were substantial population movements within each island, and significant changes resulted from this. Only four electorates were unaltered, five electorates were abolished, one former electorate was re-established, and four electorates, including Temuka, were created for the first time.
Through the 1911 electoral redistribution, the electorate was abolished, and its area split between the new Temuka electorate and an enlarged electorate. Initially, the Temuka electorate included the settlements of Temuka, Pleasant Point, Fairlie, Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook, and Twizel.
In the 1918 electoral redistribution, the Temuka electorate moved north and gained the town of Geraldine. In the 1922 electoral redistribution, the Temuka electorate moved slightly south with losing or gaining significant settlements.
In the 1927 electoral redistribution, the Temuka electorate moved significantly to the north, and Fairlie, Lake Tekapo, Twizel, and Mount Cook were lost, and Mount Somers was gained. Boundary changes through the 1937 electoral redistribution were minimal, with some area near the town of Temuka gained from the electorate. In the 1946 electoral redistribution, the Temuka electorate was abolished, with most of its area going to the Ashburton electorate, and the balance, including the town of Temuka, going to the electorate.HistoryThe electorate was established for the . The first representative was Thomas Buxton of the Liberal Party, who had previously represented and who retired at the end of the term in 1914. Charles John Talbot won the , but was defeated at the by Thomas Burnett of the Reform Party. Burnett represented Temuka until his death in 1941.
Jack Acland succeeded Burnett in a . The electorate was abolished in 1946, and Acland was defeated standing for the Timaru electorate.
Members of Parliament
The electorate was represented by four Members of Parliament.

Lincoln (New Zealand electorate)
|
Lincoln was a parliamentary electorate in the Canterbury region of New Zealand from 1881 to 1890. It was represented by two Members of Parliament.
Population centres
The previous electoral redistribution was undertaken in 1875 for the 1875–1876 election. In the six years since, New Zealand's European population had increased by 65%. In the 1881 electoral redistribution, the House of Representatives increased the number of European representatives to 91 (up from 84 since the 1875–76 election). The number of Māori electorates was held at four. The House further decided that electorates should not have more than one representative, which led to 35 new electorates being formed, including Lincoln, and two electorates that had previously been abolished to be recreated. This necessitated a major disruption to existing boundaries.
For the and s, there were polling booths in Springston, Prebbleton, Spreydon and Lincoln. The nomination meeting for the was held in Kirwee. The had polling booths in Lincoln, Springston, Yaldhurst, West Melton, Cass, Prebbleton, Springfield, Sheffield, Halkett, Kirwee and Darfield. and Henry William Peryman contested the Lincoln electorate in the 1881 election. O'Callaghan, who supported the opposition, beat Peryman by 277 to 154.
Alfred Saunders challenged O'Callaghan in the . The incumbent narrowly won the election with 266 to 263 votes.
At the nomination meeting for the , O'Callaghan, Saunders and John Davis Enys were proposed. Saunders strongly criticised O'Callaghan, who as a government supporter had his share of responsibility of the recession, according to Saunders' claim. Saunders won the show of hands at that meeting, with Enys coming second.
O'Callaghan was taken to the Christchurch Magistrate's Court over unpaid wages towards the end of 1888. He became insolvent and resigned from Parliament on 9 November 1888. John Ollivier, best known for his activities on the Canterbury Provincial Council and last represented in Parliament in 1860, announced his candidacy on the day of O'Callaghan's resignation. At the nomination meeting on 9 January 1889, Ollivier and Saunders were put forward, with the latter winning the show of hands. The was held on 16 January and was won by Saunders with 676 votes to 332.

RMR (revolver)
|
The RMR was a double-action revolver chambered for .357 Magnum cartridges chosen by the French National Police to replace the Manurhin MR 73. Production was a joint venture between Manurhin and Sturm, Ruger & Co. and ran from 1981 to 1984.
Description
In order to produce a more affordable revolver, Manurhin signed an agreement with the American firearms manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co., which specializes in micro-fusion and investment casting, processes which are less expensive than machining firearm parts from blocks of forged steel. The resulting weapon was the RMR, with a frame and mechanism made by Ruger, and the barrel and cylinder made by Manurhin similar to the Manurhin MR 73. Production was small and the gun was replaced by the Manurhin Special Police F1 (SP F1).

Christchurch Country
|
Christchurch Country was a parliamentary electorate in the Canterbury region of New Zealand from 1853 to 1860. It was thus one of the original 24 electorates used for the 1st New Zealand Parliament.
Geography
The area covered by the Christchurch Country electorate was synonymous with the original area of Canterbury Province, i.e. covering all land from the east coast to the west coast of the South Island that lay north of Otago Province (covered by the electorate) and south of Nelson Province (covered by the electorate on the east coast; the west coast was virtually uninhibited by Europeans and initially not covered by an electorate). Thus, the Christchurch Country electorate extended from Awarua Point to the Grey River on the West Coast, and from the Waitaki River to the Hurunui River. Three settlements within Canterbury Province were covered by their own electorates, namely Town of Christchurch (covering an area now to be considered the central city), Town of Lyttelton, and (which covered the eastern half of Banks Peninsula).
History
The electorate was created for the first Parliament as a two-member electorate.
The nomination meeting for the first election was held on 16 August 1853 at the Christchurch Land Office, together with the nomination meeting for the Town of Christchurch electorate. The first election was held on Saturday, 27 August between 9 am and 4 pm at the Resident Magistrate's Office in Christchurch, with Charles Simeon acting as the returning officer. James Stuart-Wortley and Jerningham Wakefield were the first two representatives, with Guise Brittan being defeated. Two days later, polling booths were in Christchurch, Lyttelton, and Kaiapoi, and the successful candidates were John Hall and Dingley Askham Brittin, who defeated John Ollivier and Crosbie Ward. Hall later became New Zealand's 12th Premier (1879–82).
Members of Parliament
The electorate was represented by seven Members of Parliament.

Ion Atanasiu
|
Ion A. Atanasiu (25 September 1894 – 19 December 1978) was the founder of the Romanian School of Electrochemistry and the first to teach this subject in Romania. He is known as the originator of cerimetry, an analytical method based on Cerium (IV) as titration reagent.
Born in Iași, Atanasiu became a professor of geology at the University of Iași and later at the University of Bucharest. He was elected corresponding member of the Romanian Academy in 1940. His father, Sava Athanasiu, a geologist and paleontologist, became a honorary member of the Academy in 1945, while his brother, , a physicist, became a titular member in 1963.

My Baby Left Me
|
"My Baby Left Me" is a rhythm and blues song written by blues singer Arthur Crudup.
Original recording
The song was first recorded by Crudup in Chicago on November 8, 1950, with Ransom Knowling on bass and Judge Riley on drums, and was released as a single on RCA Victor 22–0109.
Later versions
It gained further exposure in covers by Elvis Presley, who put his version on the B-side to his 1956 single "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You"; by Wanda Jackson who often shared the same bill as Presley; by Creedence Clearwater Revival, who recorded it as a track on their 1970 album, ''Cosmo's Factory; by Buffy Sainte-Marie on her 1972 album Moonshot; and by John Lennon (incorrectly titled "Since My Baby Left Me"), recorded during the Rock 'n' Roll sessions in 1973, but first released posthumously on Menlove Ave. in 1986. It was included as a bonus track (still incorrectly titled) on the 2004 CD version of Rock 'n' Roll''. It was also a No. 37 UK Singles Chart hit in 1964 for Dave Berry. Elton John used a snippet of "My Baby Left Me" as part of a medley (along with a snippet of the Beatles' "Get Back") during his concert performance of "Burn Down the Mission" on his 17-11-70 live album. Loggins and Messina also covered this song on their 1975 album, So Fine.
Slade version
"My Baby Left Me" was covered by the British rock band Slade in 1977 and released as a non-album single as a tribute to Elvis Presley, who died in August of that year. The Slade version merged "My Baby Left Me" with "That's All Right", another Crudup-penned track. "My Baby Left Me But That's Alright Mama" reached No. 32 in the UK and remained in the charts for four weeks.
Background
Returning to the UK from the United States in August 1976, Slade found themselves out-of-favour at the time of the UK's punk rock explosion. The band's 1977 album Whatever Happened to Slade proved a commercial failure while their tour that spring had shown that they could no longer fill large venues. Although their April 1977 single "Burning in the Heat of Love" also failed to chart, the band returned to the Top 40 with "My Baby Left Me". Released in November 1977, it reached No. 32 and would be the band's last Top 40 single until 1981's "We'll Bring the House Down". The band decided to record the song as a tribute to Elvis Presley following his death earlier that month. As guitarist Dave Hill was busy doing interviews in northern England, bassist Jim Lea played guitar on the recording. "My Baby Left Me" was released on 7" vinyl by Barn Records in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France and Germany. The B-side, "O.H.M.S.", was exclusive to the single and would later appear on the band's 2007 compilation B-Sides.
A music video was filmed to promote the single, featuring the band performing on a stage. In the UK, the band performed the song on the music show Top of the Pops. In Germany, it was performed on the TV shows Disco and Rund.Critical receptionUpon its release, Tony Mitchell of Sounds picked "My Baby Left Me/That's Alright Mama" as "Best Comeback Single" and described it as a "fabulous treatment of this old Arthur Crudup number" which "could easily see Slade back in the charts". He continued, "It's a bouncy, struttin' 12-bar blues quite unlike most of the band's earlier hit singles and it could just be the right thing to get them back into favour at the current time." He also noted the "remarkable similarity" between Slade's treatment of the song and that of the "old blues numbers" covered by Johnny Winter. Ken Lawrence of the Sports Argus praised it as a "fine rocker", with Slade "back in the old routine [with] a surefire hit". Barry Cain of Record Mirror described Slade's version as "real pleasant", but added, "I can remember a time when Slade records were vixen fearsome rather than pleasant. Fearsome on their own songs, not some cruising rocker from what back. Get out while the going's bad, 'cos it's only going to get hideous."Track listing

Euphorbia milii var. splendens
|
Euphorbia milii var. splendens is a variety of the species Euphorbia milii. Like the other varieties of E. milii (and other plants in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae) E. m. var. splendens produces a milky latex that is an irritant poison. Under the name (alternative spelling ) the plant, known formerly as Euphorbia splendens, is considered to be sacred in the Bathouist religion of the Bodo people of Assam, West Bengal, Nagaland and Nepal, in which it symbolizes the supreme deity, Bathoubwrai (Master of the Five Elements). This cultivation of the tree for ritual purposes was particularly strong among the Bodo people (known also as Mech) of the Goalpara region. The plant does not often set seed, but is easy to propagate vegetatively; branches broken from an established plant root readily as cuttings. Families that follow Bathouism plant a shrub at the northeast corner of their courtyard in an altar referred to as the . Bodo communities that follow Bathouism generally plant a shrub or small tree in a piece of communally-owned land, which they fence with eighteen pairs of bamboo strips with five fastenings. Each pair symbolizes a divine couple consisting of a minor God and Goddess. From bottom to top, the five fastenings () signify birth, pain, death, marriage and peace/pleasure. The milestones on the path of life represented by the bottom three fastenings are those that one cannot escape; whereas those symbolized by the top two are not necessarily attained by all.

The Little Salmon River is a tributary of the Salmon River in Idaho in the western United States. The river is approximately in length and drains of land.
Course
The Little Salmon River rises at an elevation of above sea level on Blue Bunch Ridge in the Sawtooth Range of south-central Idaho, near Payette Lake. From there, it flows north through the broad Meadows Valley past Meadows and New Meadows, where it receives Goose Creek from the right and Mud Creek from the left.
The river then enters a canyon, cutting across the western edge of the Salmon River Mountains, forming the boundary between Idaho and Adams counties. Most of the Little Salmon runs parallel to U.S. Route 95, with the highway crossing it several times. It receives Hazard Creek and Payette Creek both from the right, then receives Boulder Creek, the Rapid River, and Squaw Creek from the left, and past Pollock, then joins the Salmon River at the south end of Riggins, at above sea level. The highest flow ever recorded was on June 17, 1974.Geology and land useThe Little Salmon River formed as a result of a rift valley developing between the Rocky Mountains and the Columbia Plateau section of the Intermontane Plateaus. Columbia River basalts underlie much of the western and central parts of the watershed, while other types of volcanic rock of closer origin form the foundations of the eastern mountains. The entire watershed is dissected by fault-block rifting. The water table is high, and soils are generally well drained and of volcanic origin.<ref name"SBP1"/>
The upper section of the watershed is a broad and low-gradient, sediment-floored valley used primarily for agriculture and ranching activities. It also has most of the basin's population. The rest of the river flows in a wild, deep, and narrow canyon mostly undeveloped with the exception of US Highway 95. Logging has also been a past activity in the valley, and tourism and fishing are growing industries.<ref name"SBP1"/> In a rare occurrence with rivers, the Little Salmon starts out in a developed, relatively flat area and flows through mountains further downstream, bearing some resemblance to the Klamath River, which also begins in an agricultural valley before cutting through mountains to the sea.
History
Historically, the Nez Perce, Shoshone, and Bannock Native American tribes inhabited the watershed of the Little Salmon River. Their lifestyle depended on the river for salmon and on the surrounding lands for other animals, as well as precious natural minerals and resources that provided them with items to trade. Europeans introduced horses to the Bannock, who in turn spread their use to the Shoshones, allowing them to travel further and hunt buffalo and other big game. Settlers began arriving in the 1850s and established farms, ranches and towns. Communications to the outside world was limited until the construction of roads and railroads in the early 20th century. Despite that, the region has still remained relatively isolated.<ref name="SBP1"/>
The Payette National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest cover portions of the Little Salmon River watershed, but at no point does the river flow over federally protected lands. However, the river is also completely free flowing and unobstructed by dams or dikes. Most of the watershed receives about of rainfall per year. On higher mountain slopes rainfall can be up to annually, and on the highest west-facing mountains, precipitation can be much higher than that.<ref name"SBP1"/> About half of the river is inhabited by namesake salmon, but at river mile 24.7 (river kilometer 39.8) Little Salmon Falls, at the confluence with Round Valley Creek, marks the end of the limit for anadromous fish. However, this barrier may have been different at some point in the past, because Native Americans have traditionally fished on the Little Salmon well upriver of the falls. Other than salmon, steelhead, Pacific lamprey, several different species of trout and dace, and other species of fish, are also present. Cottonwood, willow, dogwood and alder grow along the banks of the river.<ref name"SBP1"/>
Hydrology
Irrigation is now the primary water use in the Little Salmon River watershed. Although irrigated farmland lies all along the river, most of it is in the Meadows Valley and also in the watershed of Round Valley Creek, a major western tributary. There are of irrigated farmland in the Meadows Valley and the Round Valley Creek area, and closer to the mouth of the river. Although no dams have been built on the river, there are three dams in the headwaters of Goose Creek, a major tributary of the river, to regulate flows for irrigation water. The total water usage for irrigation is per year.<ref name"SBP1"/>ZoologyLittle Salmon River is home to fish species such as Steelhead, Spring-Summer Chinook, and Rainbow Trout.The former two species are listed under the federal Endangered Species Act.See also

The FR 7 and FR 8 are bolt-action rifles adopted by Spain in the 1950s. The "FR" stands for Fusil Reformado in Spanish ("Converted Rifle" in English).
The FR 7 is a variant of the "Spanish M93 Mauser" bolt action while the FR 8 is based on the "Mauser System 98" bolt action. Due to their light weight, short barrel and the calibre used,
their recoil and muzzle blast are relatively heavy.
History
The FR7 and FR8 were introduced in the 1950s when the Spanish military was already implementing the CETME automatic rifle, but did not yet have sufficient inventory to equip and train all troops. The rifles were made from existing stockpiles of Mauser bolt-action rifles. The FR-7 was a modification of the Model 1916 short rifle, which in turn was based on the Mauser Model 1893. These three rifles are often referred to as being "small ring" Mausers, as the receiver ring is smaller in diameter than the latter Model 1898 by .110-inch (1.410 inches vs. 1.300 inches).
The FR-8 was rebuilt from the Model 1943 short rifle, which was based on the "large ring" Model 1898 Carbine Mauser action(98K). Both rifles were modified to fire 7.62×51mm NATO but the FR-7 uses a low powered variation due to the small rings weaker design. The FR 8 was used well into the 1970s by mounted Guardia Civil units in the Sierra Nevada. Features The flash hider was designed to also function as a rifle grenade launcher, compatible with NATO-standard 22 mm rifle grenades. It also has notches in it so that wire could be cut with it by firing a round. The under-barrel tube, which resembles the gas cylinder found on automatic weapons, actually serves as the bayonet mount and as storage for cleaning gear. The rear sight is an elevation-adjustable rotary type with apertures for , and , as well as an open "V" notch for . The front sight is elevation-adjustable via a special tool. Operation is identical to the standard Mauser design.

Penns Neck Baptist Church (also known as Red Lion Tavern and Princeton Baptist Church at Penns Neck) is a historic church located on US 1 at Washington Road in the Penns Neck section of West Windsor Township, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. Built in 1812, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 28, 1989, for its significance in architecture, exploration/settlement, and religion.HistoryThe church was built alongside the then new Trenton and New Brunswick Turnpike, now Route One. The turnpike, which had opened in 1807, was designed to help provide a proper road connection between Philadelphia and New York City. The parsonage pre-dated the church and had been a public house in which, it is thought, George Washington and William Penn had stayed. At the time the area was also called Williamsburg and the church was first referred to as Williamsborough Baptist. The Rev. Peter Wilson started in ministry in central Jersey preaching in private homes, starting at that of John Flock in Pennington in 1790, and also at John Campbell's house in Princeton. In 1791 John Hight and his wife of Penn's Neck were baptized and preaching continued in their home as well as others in Princeton. By the time the church was built, twenty-nine residents of the Penn's Neck area had been baptized including Richard Thomas, who would later serve as a delegate to the New Jersey Association (formed 1811), and New Jersey Baptist State Convention (formed 1830). Funds for the church building were raised from the congregation in Hightstown as well as residents of Princeton. At its dedication the church had thirty-seven members.See also*National Register of Historic Places listings in Mercer County, New JerseyReferencesExternal links

The Koonya was a wood carvel screw steamer built in 1887 at Hobart, that was wrecked when it stuck the shore at Doboy reef whilst carrying passengers & cargo between Moruya and Sydney and was lost off Cronulla Beach, Port Hacking, New South Wales on 25 January 1898.
The vessel was originally built by William Bayes of Hobart and owned by the Risby Bros merchants and used to trade between Hobart and the Tasman's Peninsula as well as running a number of pleasure cruises. In 1888 the ownership changed and the vessel started trading to the West Coast of Tasmania often used to carry gold, silver and tin back from the mines on the west coast. During this period it was involved with two collisions and a number of smaller incidences. Finally in 1898 ownership was transferred to the Moruya Steam Navigation Company and the vessel commenced weekly runs between Sydney and Moruya before finally running ashore to the south of Sydney.
Construction
The SS Koonya was named in the Tasmanian aboriginal dialect after the portion of the island Sorell
The vessel was custom built for the Risby Bros merchants in Tasmania by the well-known local shipbuilder William Bayes at Tilly's shipyard, Battery Point.
</blockquote>
The vessel was originally intended to be launched on Saturday 7 May 1887 but owing to the unfavourable state of the tide the ceremony was postponed until Tuesday 10 May 1887 where some 400 spectators watched.
<blockquote>
Mr. Arthur Risby's eldest daughter performed the ceremony of christening the new craft. The chocks were immediately knocked away, and the vessel glided gradually into the water amidst the cheering of the bystanders. The launch may be termed highly successful, no hitch of any kind taking place, and from the time the first chock was knocked away, 10 minutes did not elapse until the vessel rode in her native element
When originally built the vessel was described at the time of her launching as:
<blockquote>
The general appearance of the new craft is built on more symmetrical lines, the Koonya promises to be a fast steamer, and should soon make a name for herself, and prove a profitable investment to her owner, who intends to put her in the Channel and Sorell trade
The Koonya is rigged as a fore-and-aft schooner, with a flush deck, surrounded with a Tasmanian Blackwood hand-rail. Her keel, frame, kelson, and bottom planking’s are of blue gum, with a top of Oregon pine, whilst the decks and beams are of kauri, and every bit of timber in her is well seasoned and of the best possible quality. Her dimensions are as follows:-
Length on the keel, .,
beam, .,
depth, .,
and she has a carrying capacity of 120tons. on a draft of of water.
Her engines, which arrived here in the SS Chollerton, are from the well-known works of Ross and Duncan, Glasgow, the firm, and are on the compound surface condensing principle, having a nominal horse-power of 30. The cylinders have an stroke, with a high and-low-pressure of 18 and 26. She is also fitted with a novelty in the shape of a Duncan's patent propeller.
A fine commodious cabin, x is fitted aft, and the owners intend to have it upholstered without regard to expense. On the left of the cabin are the officers quarters, whilst a special compartment for ladies occupies the right side. Coming up on deck a fine bridge spans the vessel amidships, on which the wheel and steering gear is situated. Altogether the boat is a perfect model of her class, and a credit to both builder and owner.
The vessel's maiden voyage was between Hobart, Tasman's Peninsula, East Bay Neck, and Lewisham on Monday 15 August 1887, with" a profusion of bunting being displayed from the rigging " it was then intended that the vessel leave Hobart every Monday and Thursday at 8:00 a.m., returning from Lewisham, via intermediate calling places every Tuesday and Friday.,
Within a month of this first voyage the Koonya ran aground alongside the wharf, at North West Bay and hours after midnight the Koonya was refloated, and had a good run back to Hobart.
By 16 January 1888 the SS Koonya had broken two propellers by striking sunken piles at Cascades and Impression Bay. This was the first of many such accidents; later a craft was engaged in shifting the sunken piles away from the steamers track.
In April 1888 William Wilson, master of the SS Koonya, was charged by the harbour master, Captain Riddle, with a breach of the Marine Board regulations by carrying an excessive complement of passengers on board the steamer. The SS Koonya had taken a government charter on her first trip to the West Coast of Tasmania and a large number of Government men and a greater number of passengers were on board as there were no means of getting these men round to Trial Harbour except by water. The trip occupied only 23 hours, there was no danger or inconvenience William Wilson, master of the SS Koonya admitted the breach of the regulations and was given a penalty of 5s for each passenger carried over the number prescribed by law, in addition to a fine of two guineas, with professional and other costs.United Steamship Co. November 1888 – May 1896
<blockquote>
We are informed by Captain Miles that he has purchased the SS. Koonya from Messrs. -Risby Bros, for the sum of £4,500. Captain Miles resold her shortly afterwards to the -United Steamship Co., of Launceston, at an advance. The new owners of the Koonya intend, to run a weekly service between Hobart and Macquarie Harbour.
</blockquote>
The vessel was handed over to the United Steamship Co on Monday 19 November 1888. In January 1889 the Koonya was altered affecting her passenger accommodation as when re surveyed she was entitled to carry.

In October 1889 there was an accident aboard the vessel:
<blockquote>
The obliging chief officer of the SS Koonya met with an accident by getting one of his feet crushed, which has necessitated his being obliged to lay up for a time, and another man has been engaged to perform his duties on the ship
</blockquote>
By September 1890 the current Captain of the Koonya (Captain Cordell) was leaving to be replaced by Captain J. Madden who had come from the Centennial.
The Koonya again threw off a blade of her propeller while on a trip from Strahan and was required to be slipped to have another fitted. Again while on an excursion to New Norfolk on 10 November 1890 she again lost a propeller, the vessel had left New Norfolk.
<blockquote>
on the return journey shortly after 4 O’clock, and all went well until about a mile of the distance had been covered when she collided with some rocks, the result being that the propeller was seriously injured, making a perceptible difference in her speed. Pilot Richardson, who was in charge of the vessel, attributes this accident to a mishap to the steering gear. But little excitement was occasioned-a few of the female passengers indulging in screaming. The journey was pursued, and when Hearing the bridge it was seen that the danger signal was flying, indicating that the bridge would not be opened for vessels to pass through until the up and down trains, 'hen due, had passed. It was decided to bring the Koonya up alongside the pier on the northern side of the bridge, but on the order to "go astern" being given and the engines reversed It was quickly discovered that the propeller, was not sufficiently powerful in its injured condition to take the way off the vessel, and though lines were put out, and every endeavour made to check her, she crashed into the swing portion of the bridge, striking one of the girders with such violence as to bond a portion of it, this having the effect of rendering the bridge unworkable. One of the wheels was also injured. The Koonya was not injured in any degree, a valuable testimony to the stability of her build. It was fortunate that the tide was flowing, for had it been ebbing the vessel would have collided with far greater force. The accident was one in which no blame apparently attaches to anyone. The passengers were brought into town by the special train in connection with the Colebrook races The Koonya will have to remain in her present berth till the bridge can be repaired.
</blockquote>
Koonya and Pinafore collision
The vessel was again involved with significant incidents within six weeks. She collided with another vessel, which was left partially submerged; and the next day stripped three blades off her propeller on a floating log.
<blockquote>
A collision occurred on Christmas afternoon between the steamers Koonya and Pinafore. The Koonya, which was returning from her pleasure trip to Oyster Cove, collided with the Pinafore, smashing her stern to the water-line, but sustaining no damage to herself. The Pinafore immediately began to fill, but with the aid of some men the master succeeded in transferring some heavy timber from aft to the fore part of the vessel. Thus trimmed, the Pinafore was taken in tow by the Victory, and towed to the end of the New Wharf, where she now lies partially submerged. The Koonya, when coming down from New Norfolk yesterday, struck on a log lying in the river, and stripped three blades off her propeller, which will necessitate her being slipped.
</blockquote>
At around this time the owners of the Koonya decided to remove her from her long-held Hobart-to-Strahan route and place her on the run between Launceston and the west coast. At the time she was described as "a popular boat and will, no doubt, maintain her reputation in her new service" with a pleasant ceremony taking place in the cabin at the time of the final Hobart-to-Strahan run which involved a few of the many friends of Captain Madden, Mr. Thomas Williams, the engineer, and Mr. L. Pridmont, the provider.
In mid-1891 a <blockquote>sad accident happened at Trial Harbour yesterday morning. The steamer Koonya was leaving the harbour when her boat got adrift. Two lumpers, named Thomas Bowen and William Evans, went to pick up the boat, when their own boat capsized and both men drowned. The bodies have not yet been recovered. Bowen leaves a wife and seven children.
</blockquote>
Koonya and Pioneer collision
On the morning of 16 July 1891 at 6 a.m. the SS Pioneer was coming from the northward and was off the shore at Trial Harbour when a steamer's light appeared, coming from the southward, which turned out to be those of the Koonya. Soon after the Koonya struck the Pioneer, and the Pioneer immediately began to take on water quickly.
<blockquote>
Captain MacCallum (of the Pioneer) hailed Captain Madden, of the Koonya, and told him he was in a sinking condition, and asked to be towed into Strahan. This was done, and the Pioneer jettisoned her deck cargo, and a part of that in her hold. While being towed, however, she began to fill very rapidly, and at the request of her captain a boat was sent from the Koonya to stand by. The crew of the Pioneer were eventually taken off, and the vessel sank stern first, about eight miles from Strahan, between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The Pioneer was built in Melbourne, in 1874 for the Westernport trade, and after some service there was placed in the Melbourne and Circular Head trade, and afterwards in the Port Kembla-Sydney trade.
Whilst thus employed she was purchased by Captain E. T. Miles for the Tasmanian East Coast trade, and arrived here in April, 1889, under the command of Captain Chaplin. She was built of wood, was 95ft. long, with a beam of 16ft, and a depth of 7ft 0in. Soon after her arrival she was thoroughly overhauled, fitted with new machinery, and practically made a new vessel, upon which she was put in the Hobart-Strahan trade by Messrs. T. A. .Reynolds and Co. She continued in this 'trade until early in April of this year, when .he became the property of Mr. J. S. Lee, of the Duck River, and since that time she has been employed in the West Coast carrying trade. Her registered tonnage was 78 tons, her carrying capacity 120 tons. Captain A. McCallum was her commander. It is sup- posed that the Pioneer is not insured.
</blockquote>
At the Marine Court Inquiry it was found That the master of the Koonya, William Madden, was primarily at fault, and the Court ordered the suspension of William Madden's master's certificate for three months, and adjudged him to pay the Nautical Assessor's fee of £3 5s. Captain T. H. Holyman, of the ketch Violet, took command of the SS. Koonya during the suspension of Captain Madden's certificate. The Koonya continued on quietly till her next change of ownership.
Moruya Steam Navigation Company and sinking
On Tuesday 12 May 1896 the Steamer Koonya was sold at auction to the Moruya Steam Navigation Company. Koonya was placed into weekly trips between Sydney and Moruya. The vessel had a relatively uneventful life till her shaft broke off near Jervis Bay on 10 June 1897. She was towed into the bay by the steamer Murray during the night. It took approximately a fortnight till the vessel returned to her regular journeys.
When the Kameruka sank in October 1897, the Koonya sailed with the ''Kameruka's part salvaged cargo aboard, consisting of 25 tons of butter and a large quantity of cheese and cream, all in good condition. The remainder of the cargo from the Kameruka'' was damaged, and was abandoned.Wreck
Early in the morning of Tuesday 25 January 1898 the smart little coasting steamer Koonya in a thick fog ran aground at the northern end of Cronulla Beach outside Merries Reef onto Doboy reef about three-quarters of a mile from the shore.
<blockquote>
The steamer left Moruya at 10 a m on Monday for Sydney, with 14 passengers, amongst whom were a number of ladies and children All was right until about 3 a.m. yesterday, the weather being intensely thick and raining, when the steamer ran ashore on a fungus-growth patch at the northern- most end of Cronulla Beach The land could not be seen, and there is no light there. The captain was on the bridge, it being his watch, he having relieved the mate at midnight .The master is Captain T .Nicholson, and his chief officer Mr F Basclain. Immediately the vessel struck all hands were at once on deck, and the stewardess routed out the ladies and children, and lifebelts were supplied. There was a heavy sea, and the belts were put round the passengers. Soon after the Captain, who behaved coolly, told the people there was no real danger. They might take the belts off, as he could easily land them at daylight. No seas broke aboard the steamer lying on her side in a comparatively sheltered spot.<br /><br />
The women and children all got on the bridge. When daylight came in the boat was launched and took a line ashore. This was made fast to a tree, the vessel being about 50 or 60 yards from the land. By these means all the passengers were got ashore- that is, that the crew worked the boat between the ship and shore by the hand-line thus established, the women and children being landed first, next the male passengers, and afterwards their luggage and the effects of the crew, with the exception of those of the stewardess, which were lost , Miss Rankin being so busy looking after those in her charge that her personal goods were overlooked. The passengers speak in unmeasured terms of praise of Miss Rankin's noble efforts in helping the women and children during the trying time They also have a good word for the master and crew
After getting ashore an impromptu camp was put up, in winch the whole party breakfasted, plenty of everything being available by boat from the vessel<br /><br />
Very soon after, however, whether owing to the tide rising and the heavy easterly swell setting in (wind at time of wreck was S E to E ), the vessel began to range about, and presently broke in halves, and at high water only a little of her stern could be seen Then the action of the sea soon smashed her up, and wreckage was strewn along the beach Cheese were particularly in evidence, and some 20 pigs out of 25 that were on board were seen gambolling on the beach At this time no person had put in an appearance at the scene, and the captain sent a message into Sutherland, whence it was dispatched to Sydney, asking for conveyances to be sent to take the people to the hotel at Port Hacking In response to this message a conveyance came, and took the party with their effects to the hotel The road is a pretty rough one, so that progress was slow, and the people had to get out and walk at intervals At the hotel all their requirements were attended to
The vessel struck the Doboy reef about three-quarters of a mile from the shore the vessel was going at the rate of about eight knots.... , and she broke up in a few hours The stern portion of the vessel, with the ladies' cabin intact, was washed up on the rocks to high-water mark, where it remained fast.<br /><br />
The list -Mrs. Jones Miss F Holder, Mrs. Warren and four children, Mrs. Walters and one child, Mrs. Craig, Messrs Cleary, Hopkins, M. Dean, Murphy, W Smith, Master Jeffrevs, Captain Holder<br /><br />
The Cargo 1222 cheese, 100 bags corn, 310 bags bark, 14 bags potatoes, 1 case fish, 12 hides, 3 kegs and 7 boxes butter, 7 boxes eggs, 6 blocks granite, 39 pigs, and sundries<br /><br />
The Koonya was a wooden screw steamer of 119 tons, built 10 years ago in Hobart, and owned by the Moruya Steam Navigation Company She was insured for £2500
</blockquote>
Thomas Nicholson, skipper of the Koonya, said that he had been in command of the boat about 13 months, or it might be a little more trading between Sydney, Moruya, Wagonga, and Montague Island The wreck was sold at auction for £50 to Mr. Einerson after having start at a £5 bidWreck Site & WreckageThe vessel struck the Doboy reef about three-quarters of a mile from the shore
</blockquote>
In February 1898 The Sydney Mail had three pictures of the wreck of the Koonya.

'USNS Waters (T-AGS-45)' is a United States Navy vessel tasked with supporting submarine navigation-system testing and providing ballistic missile flight test support services. In 2011, it was homeported in Port Canaveral, Florida.
Features
Waters is operated by Military Sealift Command to provide an operating platform and services for unique U.S. military and federal government missions. Special missions ships work for several different U.S. Navy customers, including Naval Sea Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command and the Oceanographer of the Navy.
Background
Waters was originally an oceanographic survey ship, built by the Avondale Shipyard and delivered to the US Navy in 1993. Under the sponsorship of the Strategic Systems Program Office, Waters was converted in 1998 by Detyens Shipyard to support submarine navigation system testing and ballistic missile flight test support services. Waters began operating in the fall of 1999, replacing USNS Vanguard (T-AG 194), a submarine navigation system test platform ship, deactivated in 1998; and USNS Range Sentinel (T-AGM 22), a flight test navigation support ship deactivated in 1997.

The main-belt asteroid 2555 Thomas, discovered by Edward Bowell at Anderson Mesa Station in 1980, was named in his honor.

Waikaraka Cycleway

The Waikaraka Cycleway is an off-road cycleway in the south of the Auckland isthmus, New Zealand, running from the suburb of Wesley along New Zealand State Highway 20 to Onehunga and then continuing along the shoreline of the Manukau Harbour (Māngere Inlet) beside mostly industrialised areas until it ends at Hugo Johnston Drive, in Southdown.
Along SH20
Originally running only currently 4 km from Onehunga, near the Māngere Bridge to Pikes Point, As of early 2010 this extension of the link currently still had gaps near Onehunga and the Mt Roskill cone, which were closed as works on the Mangere Bridge duplication and the Mt Roskill park facilities proceeded, with this latter gap finished in July 2010.
The Mt Roskill gap was particularly late in being closed, due to sensitive issues regarding building a motorway and the associated cycleway across the side of a protected environment that is also important to local Māori. An agreement was finally reached that narrowed the cycleway locally (but avoided proposals which would have created long detours around the south of the mountain) and included significant new landscaping, as well as Māori carvings such as a winged sculptural gate across the path.
Other linkages
NZ Transport Agency has also improved linkages to the cycleway near Mangere Bridge, including with a new overbridge over Onehunga Harbour Road and works on the causeway / Old Mangere Bridge link to the Māngere Bridge suburb to the south.
Link to Northwestern Cycleway
In May 2011, the Board of Inquiry hearing the resource consent process for the Waterview Connection decided that NZTA was to set aside $8 million for the construction of an off-road surface cycleway between SH16 and the existing SH20 section in Hillsborough, as part of the tunneling project. This will create a connection between the Northwestern Cycleway and the Waikaraka Cycleway.

Harold James Reitsema (born January 19, 1948) the fifth of Neptune's known moons, and Telesto, Saturn's thirteenth moon. Reitsema and his colleagues discovered the moons through ground-based telescopic observations. Using a coronagraphic imaging system with one of the first charge-coupled devices available for astronomical use, they first observed Telesto on April 8, 1980, just two months after being one of the first groups to observe Janus, also a moon of Saturn. Reitsema, as part of a different team of astronomers, observed Larissa on May 24, 1981, by watching the occultation of a star by the Neptune system.
Reitsema is also responsible for several advances in the use of false-color techniques as applied to astronomical images. He was a member of the Halley Multicolour Camera team on the ESA Giotto spacecraft that took close-up images of Comet Halley in 1986.
Reitsema received a B.A. in physics from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1972 and a Ph.D. in astronomy from New Mexico State University in 1977. His dissertation was titled "Quantitative Spectral Classification of Solar-Type Stars and the Sun" with advisor Reta Beebe. He has been involved in many of NASA's space science missions including the Spitzer Space Telescope, Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite, the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kepler Space Observatory project searching for Earth-like planets orbiting distant stars similar to the Sun.
Reitsema participated in the ground-based observations of Deep Impact mission in 2005. He observed the impact on the Tempel 1 comet from the telescopes of the San Pedro Martir Observatory (Mexico) with Kevin Walsh (U. Maryland), Ashley Zauderer (U. Maryland), and Roberto Vazquez (UNAM).
Reitsema retired in 2008 from Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colorado. He is a consultant to NASA and the aerospace industry in mission design and Near-Earth Objects. He is the Mission Director for the B612 Foundation's Sentinel program that will find Near Earth Asteroids and identify potential Earth impact threats. He is listed in ''Who's Who in America''. Asteroid 13327 Reitsema was named in recognition of his achievements.

Smooth toadfish
|
The smooth toadfish (Tetractenos glaber) is a species of fish in the pufferfish family Tetraodontidae. It is native to shallow coastal and estuarine waters of southeastern Australia, where it is widespread and abundant. French naturalist Christophe-Paulin de La Poix de Fréminville described the species in 1813, though early records confused it with its close relative, the common toadfish (T. hamiltonii). The two are the only members of the genus Tetractenos after going through several taxonomic changes since discovery.
Up to long with distinctive leopard-like dark markings on its dorsal side, the smooth toadfish has a rounded front and tapers to a narrow tail at the back. Unlike most of its relatives, it does not have prominent spines on its body. Like other pufferfish, it can inflate itself with water or air. It forages for its preferred foods—molluscs and crustaceans—in sand and mud of the bottom sediment. Often an unwanted catch by anglers, the smooth toadfish is highly poisonous because of the tetrodotoxin present in its body, and eating it may result in death.
Taxonomy
French naturalist Christophe-Paulin de La Poix de Fréminville described the smooth toadfish in 1813 as Tetrodon glaber, based on a specimen collected in Adventure Bay in southeastern Tasmania by Claude Riche. This holotype was then catalogued in the collection of French naturalist Alexandre Brongniart, but was subsequently lost; upon his death, Brongniart's collection was bequeathed to the Paris Museum and the specimen did not appear there nor at any other institution. The specific name glaber is from the Latin adjective glăber, meaning "bald". Fréminville's description was overlooked by many subsequent authorities, resulting in the confusion of this species with the closely related common toadfish (Tetractenos hamiltoni); it is unclear with many records which species was being referred to, though those from Victoria and Tasmania belong to this species. who had died suddenly. since Duméril had only written a (French) translation of the genus name—αφανης qui nе parait pas, ἃκανθα, épine ("with no thorns"). Australian biologist Gilbert Whitley equated Regan's description with Fréminville's original naming and gave it the combination Spheroides glaber in 1955, and later Gastrophysus glaber in 1964.
The smooth toadfish was assigned to the genera Tetrodon (now Tetraodon) and Sphaeroides, both of which became wastebasket taxa. Recognising that the smooth and common toadfish were distinct enough from other species to warrant their own genus and that no valid genus name existed, Hardy reassigned the two species to the new genus Tetractenos in 1983. slimey toadfish or smooth blowie. Along with related toadfish species, the smooth toadfish is known in Australia as a "toadie". Gaguni is a Tharawal name for toadfish in the Sydney region, the word recorded by William Dawes as ca-gone in his 1791 diaries of the Sydney language.DescriptionWith a total adult length of anywhere from , It generally lives in shallow water less than 3 m (10 ft) deep, They are more commonly found in seagrass patches in water less than 1.5 m (5 ft) deep rather than deeper water of 3.5–6 m (11–20 ft). A South Australian field study on wrack and associated fauna found that the smooth toadfish was associated with larger volumes and aggregations containing green algae.
Although its movements are poorly known, tagging patterns indicate that the smooth toadfish spends most of its life cycle and reproduces in estuaries. It can venture well into freshwater past brackish areas. In 1964 a school of toadfish were found in the Lang Lang River at the South Gippsland Highway—34 km (21 mi) from Western Port Bay and well beyond tidal areas.ConservationIts large range, abundance and stable population mean the smooth toadfish is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Although no decline in numbers has been recorded, the effects of disappearance of its habitat—mangroves and seagrass beds—is unknown. Fieldwork in the Hawkesbury River and tributaries north of Sydney found that the smooth toadfish breeds between April and July, building up fat stores in its liver from February to April beforehand. The proportions of crustaceans to molluscs can vary widely depending on the abundance of food items; hence in a 1999 field study, the soldier crab (Mictyris longicarpus) predominated in Cowan Creek while the black mussel did so in nearby Berowra Creek.
Because it is a common estuarine fish, it has been used in studies of heavy metal contamination in coastal waters. Fish tested around Sydney showed uptake was highest in the gonads, then muscle, gills and liver. It is unclear why metal concentrations were lower in toadfish livers (compared with studies of contamination in other fish) but their liver cells may be more effective at removing these elements. Lead, cadmium and nickel levels corresponded with those in the sediment from which the fish were taken, suggesting dietary intake. The gonads of male fish had twenty times as much arsenic as those of females, while the gills of female fish contained thirty times as much lead as those of males. Raised levels of arsenic, cobalt, cadmium and lead in gills suggested the fish absorbed these from the surrounding water. An experiment exposing smooth toadfish to radioactive cadmium and selenium in either food or water found that cadmium in food was taken up in and excreted by the liver, while cadmium in water was taken up in the gut lining and excreted in liver, gills and kidney, indicating the fish were consuming a lot of water. Selenium was taken up in the gills, kidneys and liver regardless of whether it was in food or water. Fieldwork in Sydney waterways showed that higher arsenic, lead, cadmium and cobalt corresponded with decreased lipid levels in liver and gonadal tissue, and raised cobalt and nickel correspond to increased protein levels in muscle, liver and gonadal tissue. Raised lead levels were consistent with smaller egg size.
Toxicity
Notorious for taking bait from fish hooks, the smooth toadfish is an unwanted catch for anglers as its flesh is highly poisonous and unfit for human consumption. Its lack of spines makes it easier to handle than other toadfish when it inflates itself after being caught.}}
An inquest into the deaths took place on 29 March 1831. The family's three servants, one of whom appeared to have been poisoned as well and was ill, were placed in custody separately to stop them communicating with each other while the investigation proceeded. The jury replicated the effects by feeding the fish to (and poisoning) two cats. Warnings about toadfish were subsequently issued. Many species of pufferfish bear this toxin, obtaining it from tetrodotoxin-containing bacteria in their diet. Eating the fish can have fatal consequences. The symptoms of poisoning, which are predominantly neurological, include ataxia, in addition to numbness and/or paraesthesia (tingling) around the mouth, lips, and limb extremities.<ref name"isbister02"/> Cases of pets being poisoned have occurred when the fish have been left where they can eat them.<ref name"Australian Fish Guide"/>ReferencesExternal links

}}
Yuyutsu Ram Dass Sharma (; born January 5, 1960) is a Nepalese-Indian poet and journalist. He was born at Nakodar, Punjab and moved to Nepal at an early age. He writes in English and Nepali.Life and careerSharma received his early education first at DAV College, Nakodar, Punjab, and later at Baring Union Christian College, Batala and University of Rajasthan. While at Rajasthan, Sharma met American poet David Ray while assisting Ray on an issue of New Letters. Ray introduced Sharma to the work of prominent American poets such as William Carlos Williams and Allen Ginsberg, and encouraged Sharma to publish his own work. Sharma has called meeting Ray a "watershed" moment in his life.
Yuyutsu remained active in the literary circles of Rajasthan and acted in plays by Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht, Harold Pinter, and Edward Albee. Later he taught at various campuses of Punjab University, Chandigarh and Tribhuwan University, Kathmandu.
He met German Photographer Andreas Stimm in 2004 and his collaboration with Stimm resulted in three books of picture/poetry: Nepal Trilogy:Photographs and Poetry on Annapurna, Everest, Helambu & Langtang.
In 2006, he published The Lake Fewa and a Horse and later in 2008, Annapurna Poems, Selected and New. According to a review of Annapurna Poems by critic Jim Feast, Sharma operates "at the edge of a belief system or way of living that has fallen short", a position from which great poetry emerges according to essayist and American poet laureate Allen Tate.
His 2009 poetry collection Space Cake features artwork by Henry Avignon. Reminiscent of traditions in beat poetry, it chronicles his travels in Europe and America, including an episode in Amsterdam where he accidentally consumes a cannabis edible, from which the collection gets its title. In the Kathmandu Tribune, Arun Budhathoki wrote that it "immortalized the tragic event and captured the bitter memories of the Himalayan on a grand scale". Andrea Dawn Bryant called it "stunningly heart-wrenching, albeit healing".
Sharma is the editor of Pratik, A Quarterly Magazine of Contemporary Writing. He is the recipient of fellowships and grants from The Rockefeller Foundation, Ireland Literature Exchange, Trubar Foundation, Slovenia, The Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Literature and The Foundation for the Production and Translation of Dutch Literature.Poetry

Te Aroha (New Zealand electorate)
|
Te Aroha was a parliamentary electorate in the Waikato region of New Zealand from 1890 to 1893. The electorate was represented by two Members of Parliament. The current Te Aroha ward is represented by the Matamata-Piako District in the Waikato region of New Zealand.
Population centres
In December 1887, the House of Representatives voted to reduce its membership from general electorates from 91 to 70. The 1890 electoral redistribution used the same 1886 census data used for the 1887 electoral redistribution. In addition, three-member electorates were introduced in the four main centres. This resulted in a major restructuring of electorates, and Te Aroha was one of four electorates to be first created for the 1890 election.
The electorate was based on the town of Te Aroha. In the 1890 elections, there were 22 polling booths in the electorate covering a large part of the eastern Waikato and the Coromandel.HistoryThe electorate was first formed for the 11th New Zealand Parliament in 1890. William Shepherd Allen and William Fraser contested the . Votes for Allen and Fraser were 786 and 609 respectively; a majority of 177 votes for Allen, who was declared elected. After a petition by Fraser was accepted, the election was declared void on 3 April 1891.
The 9 July was contested by Fraser, Sir Walter Buller, and Dr Broome (Allen was prevented from standing). It was won by Fraser with a large majority. He represented the electorate until the end of the term of the 11th Parliament in 1893, when the electorate was abolished.

Joffa Corfe

| occupation = Welfare worker

}}
Jeffrey "Joffa" Corfe (born 7 July 1960) is an Australian rules football supporter best known for being the leader of the Collingwood Football Club cheer squad from 2001 to 2019. In February 2023, Corfe was convicted and sentenced for engaging in child sexual abuse.
Early life
Corfe, one of four boys and three girls, came from a working-class family in Melbourne. His mother, June Murphy, was an alcoholic and a drug addict. His father, Robert Corfe, who also was an alcoholic and a drug addict, drove a truck, delivered mail and had various other jobs. When he was a young child, Corfe's family moved around various suburbs in Melbourne, escaping debt and financial obligations. His six siblings also lived in and out of public homes and foster care throughout their early years due to their parents' chronic instability and poverty. He has not had a drink of alcohol since 2000, saying: "I never had a problem with it, but I have major problems with people who are intoxicated. They just don't make sense." a Salvation Army refuge for homeless men, The jacket came from the Channel Nine wardrobe and had been previously worn by Bernard King and Tommy Hanlon Jr. When Corfe saw Eddie McGuire wear it on The Footy Show, he emailed McGuire to ask if he could use it to celebrate Collingwood victories. McGuire had the jacket dry-cleaned and handed it over at a Victoria Park training session.
Before the 2003 AFL Grand Final, Corfe announced that he was going to discontinue use of the jacket; however, after Collingwood's loss, he suggested that the jacket would make a comeback the next season. New jackets were introduced in 2005
Charity work
]]Corfe was a notable fundraiser for the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria for several years. Joffa’s Walk for Epilepsy was run in 2006. In conjunction with the release of Joffa: The Movie in 2010, Joffa bobblehead dolls were sold by the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria to raise funds for epilepsy research.
His iconic gold jacket, retired after Collingwood's 2010 premiership win, was auctioned on eBay for $3,900 with all proceeds going to the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria.
From 30 July 2011 to 6 August 2011, Corfe and Joffre Pearce, father of Danyle Pearce, at the time a player with the Port Adelaide Football Club, completed a fundraising bicycle ride from Rockbank, outside of Melbourne, to Football Park in Adelaide. Along the way they met up with local football clubs, and gave and received encouragement. Olympic Gold Medalist Brett Aitken joined the riders on their final leg. The ride raised over $1,300 for the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria's Parent Epilepsy Support Network.
Movie and biography
Inspired by the classic Australian movie The Club, producer-director Chris Liontos decided to make his own film about Australian rules football "through the eyes of the most passionate supporter in the country." Joffa: The Movie was released nationally in cinemas on 2 September 2010. The DVD of the movie was released in December 2010 by Madman Entertainment. The DVD includes a full set of commentaries, bloopers and footage of Collingwood's 2010 Grand Final win celebrations.
Corfe's biography (''Joffa: Isn't That Life?) was launched by Father Bob Maguire on 11 June 2015. The book was reviewed by Rohan Connolly in The Age and Peter Rolfe in the Sunday Herald Sun''. Controversies When Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, tried to rally voters during the 2010 Federal election by calling for a "unity ticket" of people who hated the Collingwood Football Club, Corfe reacted by saying that she had "lost his vote". When she was asked to explain her comments, Gillard said that she had no choice but to "stick with her footy principles".
After a ban on the use of the term "white maggot" in reference to umpires was introduced at the Gabba in 2007, Corfe defended the right of supporters to use the term. He compared security at the ground to the Gestapo.
Although Corfe has been the highest profile member of the Collingwood cheer squad, he has not always had a comfortable relationship with other fans and club staff. In 2003 leaflets criticising his behaviour and including his home address were distributed at a Collingwood match.
After the final report of the aged care royal commission was handed to the federal government, Corfe tweeted: "Get rid of all Indian workers in aged care might be a start". This occurred at a time when Collingwood Football Club was investigating systemic racism through its "Do Better" report, and the club distanced itself from Corfe and his comment.
Historical sexual abuse
In May 2021, it was announced that Corfe had been charged with a child sex offence for an incident that occurred in 2005. Corfe was arrested in Abbotsford, Melbourne, on 6 May 2021 and charged with historical child sexual abuse pertaining to the sexual penetration of a 14-year-old minor, following an investigation launched in 2020 by the Fawkner Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team. In a statement, Collingwood FC said, "Collingwood condemns without qualification inappropriate conduct of any kind but cannot, and will not, comment on matters before the courts."
In November 2022, Corfe pled guilty to the sexual penetration of a 14-year-old boy. The prosecution sought a term of imprisonment. On 27 February 2023, Corfe was sentenced to 12 months’ prison, wholly suspended for two years.
In December 2022, a second man, aged 39, alleged he was 15 when he began speaking to Corfe on a hotline for LGTBQ teenagers in late 1998. The victim, using the alias "Thomas", signed a statutory declaration to The Age alleging that Corfe, who was 39 at the time, invited him to a Collingwood–Hawthorn game. Thomas claims he and Corfe walked to Flinders Street Station, where an alleged sexual assault happened inside a bathroom.
In March 2023, the Office of Public Prosecution announced that they will not be appealing the sentence.
In August 2024 after several months of a police investigation, due to insufficient evidence no charges were laid against Corfe. However a successful application was made to the Victims Of Crime Tribunal where a determination was made that offences were committed in 1998/1999 and monetary compensation was paid to the 2nd known victim who has waived his right to privacy and can now be revealed as 41 year old Mark Porter.

thumb|right|150px|Coat of arms of the Ammendorf family
The Ammendorf family was a German family of Brandenburg nobility, from which the Blumenthal and Grabow families originated, by a change of name.
History
The earliest known member was Fritz von Ammendorf who took part in a tournament in 969 in Merseburg. The next documentary reference to the family is in 1224 when "Albertus de Ammendorf" is mentioned. The continuous family tree begins in 1239 with Heinemann von Ammendorf. An Albertus de Ammendorf appears in 1263–71 as Provincial Governor of the Bailliwick of Thuringia in the county of Zwätzen. There is a reference in a Latin document of 1266 to Heinricus de Ammendorf nobilis vir. The family appears in Merseburg and in and around Halle, and later also owned estates in the diocese of Magdeburg and near Rothenburg. The family died out with Conrad von Ammendorf in 1550.

Khalafiyya Shia
|
}}
The Khalafiyya Shia (named for its founder Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad) were a subsect of the Zaidi branch of Shia Islam.
Beliefs
The Khalafiyya Shia had the following beliefs:
*They believed that the Imams after Zayd ibn Ali ibn Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abī Ṭālib are as follows (in chronological order):
**Abd al-Samad (a client of Zayd ibn Ali, although the Khalafiyya Shia claim he was a son of Zayd), then
**Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad (who fled from the Umayyads to the land of the Turks), then
**Muhammad ibn Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad, then
**Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad, then
**The Khalafiyya Shia did not know the names of the Imams after Ahmad, but they believed that a descendant of Ahmad, still residing in the land of the Turks (since the migration to that land of his ancestor Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad), would rise as the Mahdi.
*They believed the Imam’s knowledge comes to him by inspiration, not by acquisition.
*They believed the Imam understood all languages.
*They believed that Khalaf ibn Abd al-Samad left behind a book which he composed in letters of an alphabet unknown to anyone other than his successor Imams and that these Imams alone would be able to explain his book.
*They believed in a doctrine of Tawhid (Oneness of God) which denies that a person can describe or characterize God in any way. For example:
**a person cannot say that God is knowing, or that God is not knowing.
**a person cannot say that God is powerful, or that God is not powerful.
**a person cannot say that God is a thing, or that God is not a thing.
*They also believed in a devotion to fives. For example (according to them):
**5 primary angels; Mikha’il (the chief angel of the Khalafiyya), Jibra’il, Izra’il, Mika’il and Israfil
**5 chosen creatures on Earth; Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah, Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali
**5 fingers
**5 pillars of Islam; Shahadah, Salat, Zakat, Sawm and Hajj
**5 senses; hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste
**5 prayer times; Fajr (Dawn prayer), Dhuhr (Mid-day prayer), Asr (Afternoon prayer), Maghrib (Sunset prayer) and Isha'a (Night prayer)
**5 books of scripture; the Suhuf Ibrahim (commonly the Scrolls of Abraham), the Tawrat (Torah), the Zabur (commonly the Psalms), the Injil (commonly the Gospel), and the Qur'an
**5 things leading to salvation
**5 special months of the year; Muharram, Rajab, Ramadan, Dhu al-Qi'dah and Dhu al-Hijjah

Courtenay (New Zealand electorate)
|
thumb|Courtenay, the township that gave the electorate its name
Courtenay was a parliamentary electorate in Canterbury, New Zealand from 1902 to 1908. The electorate was represented by one Member of Parliament, Charles Lewis.
Population centres
The Representation Act 1900 had increased the membership of the House of Representatives from general electorates 70 to 76, and this was implemented through the 1902 electoral redistribution. In 1902, changes to the country quota affected the three-member electorates in the four main centres. The tolerance between electorates was increased to ±1,250 so that the Representation Commissions (since 1896, there had been separate commissions for the North and South Islands) could take greater account of communities of interest. These changes proved very disruptive to existing boundaries, and six electorates were established for the first time, including Courtenay, and two electorates that previously existed were re-established.
The Courtenay electorate was based on the Canterbury area of Kirwee and Courtenay. The settlement of Courtenay on the south bank of the Waimakariri River dates from the 1850s.
In the 1907 electoral redistribution, a major change that had to be allowed for was a reduction of the tolerance to ±750 to those electorates where the country quota applied. The North Island had once again a higher population growth than the South Island, and three seats were transferred from south to north. In the resulting boundary distribution, every existing electorate was affected, and some were abolished, including the Courtenay electorate. These changes took effect with the .

Frames of Reference is a 1960 black-and-white educational film directed by Richard Leacock, written and presented by Patterson Hume and Donald Ivey, and produced for the Physical Science Study Committee.
A recording of this audio was utilized in the Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps 2015 show, Kinetic Noise.
Synopsis
The film was made to be shown in high school physics courses and humor is employed both to hold students' interest and to demonstrate the concepts being discussed. In the film, University of Toronto physics professors Patterson Hume and Donald Ivey explain the distinction between inertial and noninertial frames of reference,<ref name"Turner1962"/> while demonstrating these concepts through humorous camera tricks. For example, the film opens with Dr. Hume, who appears to be upside down, accusing Dr. Ivey of being upside down. Only when the pair flip a coin and it floats up does it become obvious that Dr. Ivey — and the camera — are indeed inverted.<ref name"Turner1962"/>

Newtown (New Zealand electorate)
|
Newtown was a parliamentary electorate in Wellington, New Zealand, from 1902 to 1908.Population centresThe Representation Act 1900 had increased the membership of the House of Representatives from general electorates 70 to 76, and this was implemented through the 1902 electoral redistribution. In 1902, changes to the country quota affected the three-member electorates in the four main centres. The tolerance between electorates was increased to ±1,250 so that the Representation Commissions (since 1896, there had been separate commissions for the North and South Islands) could take greater account of communities of interest. These changes proved very disruptive to existing boundaries, and six electorates were established for the first time, including Newtown, and two electorates that previously existed were re-established.
The electorate was based on the inner city suburb of Newtown.
History
The electorate was represented by one Member of Parliament, William Henry Peter Barber.
The 1902 election was contested by Barber, Thomas William Hislop, Charles Luke, William Chapple and William George Tustin. They received 1385, 1357, 1100, 1017, and 159 votes, respectively.
The 1905 election was contested by Barber, Thomas William Hislop, William Chapple and Alfred Hindmarsh. They received 3231, 2018, 1795, and 383 votes, respectively.
Members of Parliament
Newtown was represented by one Member of Parliament, William Barber.

Petroleum industry in Ohio

The petroleum industry in Ohio dates from 1859. Ohio continues to produce significant quantities of oil and gas, having produced more than 1 billion barrels of oil and 9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas since 1860. Unconventional resources, primarily in eastern Ohio, are likely to increase production in Ohio.
In late 1859, blacksmith William Jeffrey drilled the first well in Ohio specifically intended to produce petroleum. This well is located in Mecca Township, Trumbull County, northeast of Warren. In 1860, similar activity occurred in Macksburg.
The Ohio Oil Rush
Oil production climbed year after year, especially after major oil and gas reserves were found in Wood County in northwest Ohio in the 1880s. From Toledo to Lima and into Indiana, the Bowling Green Fault fractured the Trenton Formation limestone, in which hydrocarbons were trapped by overlying rock. In 1891, the likely first overwater drilling operations in the world occurred in Grand Lake, where more than 100 wells were drilled in less than 10 years. In 1883, Ohio ranked fifth among oil-producing states, behind Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, and California; its total production of 47,000 barrels of oil that year was less than one percent of the nation's oil output. But Ohio production climbed rapidly, and in 1895 Ohio became America's leading oil-producing state. Ohio oil production peaked in 1896 at 24 million barrels, but Ohio continued as the leading oil state until 1902, when that title was taken by Oklahoma. The Trenton limestone produced more than 380 million barrels of oil and 2 trillion cubic feet of gas, peaking in 1896 at 23.9 million barrels of oil. Large scale production of oil continued into the 1930s. Due to inefficient early drilling techniques, the oil fields rapidly lost pressure.
Natural gas
In 1836, gas was encountered when drilling a ten-foot water well in the Findlay field. However, it wasn't until 1884, that a gas well was drilled into the Trenton Limestone, after Dr. Charles Oesterlen organized the Findlay Natural Gas Company. Known as the Pioneer Well, it reached the limestone at a depth of 314 feet, and a gas reservoir at a depth of just over 1000 feet. Then in 1886, the Karg well produced a prodigious amount of gas from a depth of 347 feet. Gas was soon discovered at Bowling Green, and oil at Lima in 1885.
The usefulness of natural gas was not discovered until the 1880s. Up until then, it was considered a “nuisance.” During this period, many towns in Ohio experienced rapid boom-to-bust cycles. Findlay was “the gas capital of Ohio in late 1885.” For example, in Findlay, the first commercial natural gas well began producing in 1884. In 1886, the productive Karg Well (over 10,000,000 cubic feet/day) and other wells resulted in so much gas being flared that Findlay was known as the "City of Light" and free fuel and light attracted many industries, including glass. By 1888, Findlay was one of the largest glass production centers. The gas was assumed to be "inexhaustible". By 1890, gas output began to decline.
Production during mid and late 1900s
In northwest Ohio, the production of oil was relatively new. The lack of knowledge about the field of industry led to poor management. In turn, it led to much waste during production, resulting in the end of the period's “oil boom.” Since 2005, the oil and gas industry has developed technologies for producing shale gas and tight oil from low permeability rock. These technologies include horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. This has greatly increased drilling for dry gas from the Marcellus Formation in eastern Ohio, as far south as Washington County, west to Guernsey County, and north to Lake and Ashtabula Counties. Since 2009, this interest has extended to oil and wet gas production from the Utica Shale, with a western boundary line extending from Erie County south to Pickaway County and then southeast to Meigs County on the Ohio River. Large quantities of technically recoverable oil and gas remain in the Trenton and other formations in northwest Ohio and reservoir repressuring and other new technologies may re-invigorate exploration.

Ioan Haydn Price (1883 – 7 March 1964) was a Welsh footballer who played at wing half or centre forward for various clubs in the period prior to World War I and the Wales national team, before brief spells as a manager with Walsall and Grimsby Town.
Playing career
Price was born at Maerdy in Glamorgan and after playing for Mardy Corinthians joined Aberdare Athletic in 1902, where he played in the 1904 Welsh Cup Final against Druids, losing narrowly 3–2. Price was a schoolteacher by profession and was nicknamed "the Birmingham schoolmaster".
In December 1904, Price joined Aston Villa of the English First Division; at this time, Villa had a large playing staff and Price rarely played for the reserves and never played for the first team.
Described as a "strong sprinter with good distributive ability but faulty shooting", Price was an extremely versatile player who could play at wing half, left wing or as a central forward.
Price spent one season at Wrexham, at the end of which the club won the Welsh Cup, although Price was not a member of the Cup Final eleven. Whilst with Wrexham, he picked up a further three Welsh caps, playing in all Wales' matches in the 1909 British Home Championship.
In the summer of 1909, Price returned to the English Second Division with Leeds City but found it hard to force his way into the first team.
In July 1920, Price became manager at Grimsby Town; he succeeded H.N. Hickson but unlike his predecessor, he was given responsibility for signing new players and for team selection. as well as Jimmy Carmichael, Albert Irvine and Harry Moody. His spell as manager at Blundell Park was short-lived ending in acrimony in November 1920 when he resigned publicly in a letter to the Grimsby Evening Telegraph
Price returned to Mid Rhondda in 1921<ref name"City"/> where he was hit by more controversy when the club failed to pay its players and other debts and was suspended by the Football Association of Wales.<ref name "Who's Who"/>
Price died in Portsmouth in March 1964 in his early 80s.<ref name "Who's Who"/>ReferencesExternal links*

| last_aired was produced by UTV Television with inputs from Creative Director and writer Roshni Ghosh.
A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed, in 2011, by Indraprashtha People, an NGO, through its President Sanjay Tiwari Ujala. He said "through this programme, the TV channel has been hurting the feeling of viewers, spreading vulgarity and demoting social and moral values in our society".
The Law commission, floated a discussion paper, saying "In the recent past, instances of Television channels exceeding the limits of decency by using sting operation (hidden camera) as a tool in ongoing reality shows to expose infidelity of a spouse, boyfriend, etc have been noticed," the commission noted in its discussion paper. "Such sting operations, showing the private life of common men and women, are not conducted for exposing public wrongs and do not serve any public interest or public purpose. They are violating the right to privacy and taking civilisation backward," it added.

Stereo Love

}}
}}
"Stereo Love" is a song by Romanian musician Edward Maya featuring Moldovan-Romanian musician Vika Jigulina. It was released as their debut single on 23 February 2009 for radio airplay in Romania, and was later included on Maya's debut studio album, The Stereo Love Show (2014). The song was written by Maya and Jigulina, while the production was handled by the two alongside Ilie Alexandru; Azerbaijani musician Eldar Mansurov is listed as a composer for the interpolation of the 1989 song "Bayatılar". Mansurov's contribution was initially uncredited, but was later acknowledged through a contract signed between him and Maya in January 2010. It is a Eurodance, techno and trance song with lyrics about lovesickness, and also follows the Romanian popcorn music trend popular around the time of release. The song prominently features an accordion hook.
Music critics gave generally positive reviews of the song upon its release, noting the universal appeal. At the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, the track was awarded "Top Dance Song". Commercially, "Stereo Love" peaked at number two on the Romanian Top 100 in August 2009 and became a worldwide sleeper hit over the next two years. The song was a number-one in Czech Republic, Finland, France, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden, and further peaked within the top five in several other countries including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It has peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100, standing as the best-performing Romanian song there. An alternative North American version of "Stereo Love" released with Mia Martina was a top ten hit in Canada. Maya was alleged not to have approved the release of this version and ended up in a lawsuit with the label Cat Music.
An accompanying music video was released on YouTube on 6 July 2009. Directed by Dragoș Buliga, it was shot in Mykonos, Greece, and sees Maya and Jigulina searching for each other through the streets of the island. For further promotion, the two performed the song at multiple events, including at Spanish award show Los Premios 40 Principales 2010, and on a tour visiting India and the Americas. Among other usage of "Stereo Love", Indian label T-Series released the Hindi "Love Stereo Again" by Tiger Shroff and Zahrah S. Khan in July 2023, which is based on the song.
Background and release
Maya first became involved in the music scene in 2006, when he was a student at the National University of Music Bucharest and contributed songwriting to the Romanian Eurovision Song Contest 2006 entry "Tornerò" performed by Mihai Trăistariu. Subsequently, he worked on songs released by other Romanian acts such as Costi Ioniță and Blaxy Girls, and lent his production to group Akcent's 2009 studio album Fără lacrimi (Without Tears), which spawned the commercially successful singles "Stay with Me" and "That's My Name". Around the release of "Stereo Love", Maya was in a relationship with Jigulina. She had graduated from a music college before working in Romanian clubs and at Romanian radio station Vibe FM.
"Stereo Love" was sent for radio airplay in Romania on 23 February 2009, as Maya's and Jigulina's debut single. On 6 July 2009, Cat Music made the song available for digital download in several countries, including Romania, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. On 15 April 2024, a blue-colored 12-inch vinyl was made available in Germany by Dance on the Beat Records.
Composition
Music critics described "Stereo Love" as a Eurodance, techno and trance song. It can also be assigned to the Romanian popcorn genre, which was internationally popular around the time of the song's release. "Stereo Love" is set in the key of C minor and has a tempo of 127 beats per minute (BPM), with the ambitus of the vocals spanning from C3 to B4. Fraser McAlpine of BBC described the track as "mournful" and emotional, noting that Jigulina is singing in an "icy" tone to her love interest. Azerbaijani musician Eldar Mansurov is listed as a composer on "Stereo Love" for an interpolation of the 1989 song "Bayatılar" performed by Azerbaijani singer Brilliant Dadashova in its accordion hook. Leila Cobo of Reuters opined that the accordion melody evoked that of "Lambada" (1989) by French-Brazilian group Kaoma (originally featured in "Llorando se fue" (1982) by Bolivian band Los Kjarkas). Mansurov eventually issued a complaint at the Romanian Copyright Office upon finding "Stereo Love" on the internet. this thought was echoed by Maya's North American management, which stated that prior to "Stereo Love", the accordion had rarely been featured in commercially successful music. Both Pune Mirror and Complex noted the universal appeal of "Stereo Love", with an editor of the latter publication tracing it back to what they saw as the campy nature of the song. They elaborated: "It's gaudy, it's basic and seems to be ticking off so many boxes of what a 'Euro' dance song should be, that it borders on parody." as well as for a Romanian Music Award in the "Best Song" category. At the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, "Stereo Love" won the "Top Dance Song" accolade, which was the first win by a Romanian act.
Commercial performance
music and songs released by artists such as Inna (pictured) became part of the international mainstream. It developed into a sleeper hit in several territories, progressively impacting charts from 2009 to 2011. and "Desert Rain" in November 2010—which also began gaining their own momentum.
"Stereo Love" had a similar commercial trajectory to several other Romanian popcorn songs released around the late 2000s, and was part of the emergence of Romania as a center for Europe's dance music scene. Several songs would first gain traction in clubs in Romanian resorts, and then gradually cross over to Southern and Southeast Europe, as well as to the United Kingdom and German-speaking Europe. In a December 2022 interview, Maya described how he initially felt frustrated with the success of "Stereo Love", as he was fearful of remaining a one-hit wonder. This resulted in a period of him "mak[ing] the same style of music, us[ing] the same accordion, the same voices, in the hopes of surpassing the previous success". The song went on to peak at number five in August, The track ended up as the 15th most-successful song in the country in both 2009 and 2010. A month later, "Stereo Love" reached number eight on the Brasil Hot 100 Airplay chart, while also peaking at numbers two and four on the Austrian and German singles charts, respectively, in August. It has since received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the United States, but has since then notably also been uploaded to the platform by other labels such as Spinnin' and Ultra Records. "Stereo Love" is the first Romanian song to have amassed one million views on YouTube.
For further promotion, Maya and Jigulina gave selected live performances of the song. They performed at the Spanish award show Los Premios 40 Principales 2010, and at Romanian talk show Razii de noapte in May 2011. The two additionally embarked on a tour in 2011, which visited territories such as India and the Americas. Maya eventually also reworked "Stereo Love" into an orchestra show.
Mia Martina remix
}}
}}
Canadian singer Mia Martina recorded a cover version of "Stereo Love" and released it on her YouTube channel on 15 June 2010. It was later issued for digital download in Canada on 7 September 2010 by Ultra Records―who had previously searched for an artist to record a North American remix of "Stereo Love"—as Martina's debut single. She is credited as a co-lead artist on the song alongside Maya, Tony Lofaro of the Ottawa Citizen called Martina's version an "infectious pop hit".
Directed by Marc André Debruyne in Toronto, Canada, a music video for the remix was uploaded on YouTube on 9 September 2010, depicting Martina in a sailboat at sunset and riding around the town in a chauffeured Mercedes-Benz at night. Ultra Records did not approve of a budget for a music video, but Martina and her management insisted on filming one, using "around 500 dollars" of their own money for it.
Martina's version of "Stereo Love" experienced commercial success in Canada and surpassed the original, peaking at number ten on the Canadian Hot 100 in November 2010. "Stereo Love" also received a nomination at the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards in the "Most Watched Video of the Year" category.Label disputesMaya was dissatisfied with the release of the remix, claiming on his social media that he did not know Martina and had not approved of her version. He further complained about Ultra Records trying to book her instead of him at an upcoming North American tour. In response to Maya, the label stated that they had legally acquired the rights from Cat Music to remix "Stereo Love". In 2011, Maya and Jigulina parted ways with Cat Music, accusing the label of breach of contract for withholding their royalties and not promoting their version of "Stereo Love", as well as for granting cover licenses for the song without their consent. Cat Music sued Maya and Jigulina for two million euros for their statements.
Other usage
"Stereo Love" was included on the NRJ Music Awards 2010 compilation. It has been further covered by acts such as Dominican bachata band Grupo Extra, and was played at Real Betis football matches in a violin rendition. On 21 July 2023, Indian label T-Series released "Love Stereo Again" by Tiger Shroff and Zahrah S. Khan. The Hindi song is based on "Stereo Love" and further credits Tanishk Bagchi and Shraddha Pandit as authors alongside the original writers. French singers Léa Zelia and Adryano sampled "Stereo Love" in their 2024 single "Plus L'Time (Stereo Love)"; Maya is credited as a co-lead artist.Track listings

Christchurch (New Zealand electorate)
|
Christchurch was a parliamentary electorate in Christchurch, New Zealand. It existed three times. Originally it was the Town of Christchurch from 1853 to 1860. From the 1860–1861 election to the 1871 election, it existed as City of Christchurch. It then existed from the 1875–1876 election until the 1881 election. The last period was from the 1890 election to the 1905 election. Since the 1946 election, a similarly named electorate called Christchurch Central has been in existence.
The historic electorate was represented by 21 members of parliament. For some of the time, it was represented by one member at a time. During other periods, it was one of the few three-member electorates in New Zealand.
Population centres
In December 1887, the House of Representatives voted to reduce its membership from general electorates from 91 to 70. The 1890 electoral redistribution used the same 1886 census data used for the 1887 electoral redistribution. In addition, three-member electorates were introduced in the four main centres. This resulted in a major restructuring of electorates, and Christchurch was one of eight electorates to be re-created for the 1890 election. The electorate included Christchurch City, Hagley Park, the boroughs of Sydenham and St Albans, and parts of the Linwood borough.
History
1853 to 1871
The nomination meeting for the first election was held on 16 August 1853 at the Christchurch Land Office, together with the nomination meeting for the Christchurch Country electorate. The first election was held on Saturday, 20 August between 9 am and 4 pm at the Resident Magistrate's Office in Christchurch, with Charles Simeon acting as the returning officer.
At the nomination meeting on 31 January 1861, John Cracroft Wilson was proposed by William Wilson and seconded by William Thomson. Cracroft Wilson was declared elected unopposed. In the , James FitzGerald was unopposed.
From 1853 to 1871, the electorate was represented by one member at a time. Prior to the 1860/61 election, it was known as Town of Christchurch:

1875 to 1881
The electorate was recreated for the 1875 election and existed for two terms until the 1881 election as a three-member electorate.
The nomination meeting for the 1875 election<!-- election held on 21 December 1875 --> was held on 16 December. The former member of the Legislative Council, Leslie Lee, was the returning officer. Edward Richardson, who had previously represented Christchurch West, was nominated by Louis Edward Nathan and seconded by Edward Bishop. Edward Cephas John Stevens, who had previously represented , was nominated John Inglis and seconded by William Derisley Wood. Samuel Paull Andrews was nominated by Henry Wynn-Williams and seconded by Daniel Reese. William Sefton Moorhouse was nominated by Fred Hobbs and seconded by William Wilson. Jerningham Wakefield put his own name forward, and he was seconded by James Treadwell. The latter was in turn proposed by J. R. Johnson and seconded by J. S. Buxton. The election was held on 21 December, and Stevens, Richardson, and Moorhouse were returned with 1059, 992, and 662 votes, respectively. Andrews, Wakefield, and Treadwell received 532, 241, and 22 votes, respectively. Historian George Macdonald said of Treadwell that "he was not taken seriously and there was no reason why he should be".
George Grey was elected in both the Thames and the City of Christchurch electorates in September 1879. Grey came first in the three-member Christchurch electorate (Samuel Paull Andrews and Edward Stevens came second with equal numbers of votes, and only 23 votes ahead of Edward Richardson). Richardson petitioned against Grey's return on technical grounds, as Grey had already been elected in the Thames electorate. The electoral commission unseated Grey on 24 October, with Richardson offered to fill this vacancy a few days later. Grey kept the Thames seat and remained a member of parliament through that constituency.

Linwood (New Zealand electorate)
|
Linwood was a parliamentary electorate in Christchurch, New Zealand, from 1887 to 1890. The electorate was represented by one Member of Parliament, Andrew Loughrey.
Population centres
In the 1887 electoral redistribution, although the Representation Commission was required through the Representation Act 1887 to maintain existing electorates "as far as possible", rapid population growth in the North Island required the transfer of three seats from the South Island to the north. Ten new electorates were created, including Linwood, and one former electorate was recreated.
The electorate was based on the suburb of Linwood. Polling booths for the election were located in Phillipstown and Richmond.
History
The Linwood electorate was formed for the 1887 election, which determined the composition of the 10th Parliament.
The electorate was represented by one Member of Parliament, Andrew Loughrey. The 1887 election was contested by Loughrey, William Flesher (father of James Arthur Flesher), Daniel Reese and J. T. Partridge. Loughrey, Flesher, Reese and Partridge received 699, 331, 270 and 15 votes, respectively.
Loughrey remained a member during the term of the term of the 10th Parliament. The Linwood electorate was abolished in 1890.
