# 2009 American Le Mans Series

The **2009 American Le Mans Series season** was the 39th season for the IMSA GT Championship, with it being the eleventh season with the American Le Mans Series moniker. It began on March 21, 2009, and ended on October 10, 2009 after ten events. The series was composed of Le Mans Prototypes (LMP) and Grand Tourer (GT) race cars divided into four classes: LMP1, LMP2, GT1, and GT2. A fifth category, known as the Challenge class, was also added for select races and featured Porsche 997 GT3 Cup cars from the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge. 2009 was also the final year for GT1, with Corvette Racing abandoning the class after Long Beach and switching over to much more competitive GT2 (renamed GT) class.

## Season summary

This was the first time that the Michelin Green X Challenge championship was used throughout a full ALMS season after its initial introduction at the 2008 Petit Le Mans. Two champions were determined by the entry which is the most efficient over the season within the LMP and GT categories.

Patrón Highcroft Racing duo David Brabham and Scott Sharp won the main LMP1 standings, holding off De Ferran Motorsports pairing Gil de Ferran and Simon Pagenaud at the final round of the season at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Adrián Fernández and Luis Díaz won the LMP2 title, in the final season of Fernández Racing, who closed at the end of the 2009 season. In GT2, Flying Lizard Motorsports' Patrick Long and Jörg Bergmeister won six races en route to the championship title. Husband-and-wife Martin and Melanie Snow won the inaugural GT Challenge class title, that ran at half of the season's ten races.

## Team changes

## Schedule

The 2009 schedule remained mostly identical to the 2008 schedule, although the season was shortened in length. This was done to allow teams from the American Le Mans Series to participate in events for the new Asian Le Mans Series in November. On December 18, 2008, it was announced that the Detroit race would be canceled.

The Challenge class of cars only participated in five rounds in 2009: Utah, Lime Rock, Mid-Ohio, Road America, and Laguna Seca.

## Championships

Points were awarded to the top ten cars and drivers which either finish the race or complete 70% of the winner's distance, except in the ALMS Challenge category where cars and drivers only have to complete 50% of their class winner's distance. Teams with multiple entries only scored the points of their highest finishing entry in each race. Drivers were required to drive a minimum of 45 minutes to earn points, except for the Long Beach event which required only 30 minutes. The GT1 category was only used for two events and no championships were awarded in that category.

title: Avernus

# Avernus

**Avernus** was an ancient name for a volcanic crater near Cumae (Cuma), Italy, in the region of Campania west of Naples. Part of the Phlegraean Fields of volcanoes, Avernus is approximately 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) in circumference. Within the crater is Lake Avernus (**Lago d'Averno**).

## Role in ancient Roman society

Avernus was believed to be the entrance to the underworld, and is portrayed as such in the *Aeneid* of Virgil. According to tradition, all birds flying over the lake were destined to fall dead, hence the lake’s name was transferred to Greek as Ἄορνος (λίμνη) *Áornos (límnē)*‚ or 'birdless (lake)'. This was likely due to the toxic fumes that the mouths of the crater gave off into the atmosphere. In later times, the word was simply an alternative name for the underworld.

On the shores of the lake is the grotto of the Cumaean Sibyl and the entrance to a long tunnel (Grotta di Cocceio, c. 800 metres (2,600 ft)) leading toward Cumae, where her sanctuary was located. There are also the remains of temples to Apollo and Jupiter. During the civil war between Octavian and Antony, Agrippa tried to turn the lake into a military port, the Portus Julius. A waterway was dug from Lake Lucrino to Avernus to this end. The port's remains may still be seen under the lake's surface.

## **Averni**

The term **avernus** (plural **averni**) was also used by ancient naturalists for certain lakes, grottos, and other places which infect the air with poisonous steams or vapors. The Cave of Dogs in Italy was a famous example. The most celebrated of these, however, is Lake Avernus.

They were also called mephites. Mephitis was the Roman goddess of noxious vapors who protected against malaria. The adjective 'mephitic' means 'foul-smelling' or 'malodorous'.


abstract:
The European Parliament (Representation) Act 2003 (c.7) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The long title is "An Act to make provision enabling alterations to be made to the total number of Members of the European Parliament to be elected for the United Kingdom and to their distribution between the electoral regions; to make provision for and in connection with the establishment of an electoral region including Gibraltar for the purposes of European Parliamentary elections; and for connected purposes." The Act made provision for a reduction in the number of Members of the European Parliament who represent the United Kingdom. Gibraltar was enfranchised by adding it to the South West England constituency after taking the British Government to the European Court of Justice. The number of seats each region was allocated is as follows:
  - East Midlands 6
  - Eastern 8
  - London 10
  - North East 4
  - North West 10
  - South East 11
  - South West 7
  - West Midlands 8
  - Yorkshire and the Humber 7
  - Scotland 8
  - Wales 5
  - Northern Ireland 3 The addition of Gibraltar to the English constituency gave rise to some problems concerning the jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales and the Courts of Gibraltar over which would have power to hear election petitions, this can be seen by some of the discussions held in the Standing Committee during the bill stage. The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 repealed the act on 31 January 2020.

South Korea won the coin flip held after the second semifinal between Japan and the United States, designating them as the home team for the final.

Japan drew first blood, scoring on a RBI single by Michihiro Ogasawara in the third inning. Shin-Soo Choo tied the score 1−all with a home run in the fifth inning. With runners on first and third, Hiroyuki Nakajima hit an RBI single to bring Seiichi Uchikawa home to give Japan the lead 2−1. South Korea failed to take advantage of Japanese pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma, who was visibly tired, when they failed to score in the seventh inning, when Iwakuma was relieved by Toshiya Sugiuchi after two outs. Uchikawa hit a single to start the eighth. Atsunori Inaba scored a double to put Uchikawa in scoring position, and Uchikawa scored on Akinori Iwamura's sacrifice fly. Hyun-wook Jong retired the remaining batters to close out the inning.

Japan brought out their closer, Yu Darvish, for the bottom of the ninth with a 3−2 lead. Darvish struck out Keun-woo Jeong, but walked Hyun-soo Kim and Tae-kyun Kim to put South Koreans on first and second with one out. Darvish then struck out Choo and was one out away from saving the game. But Bum-ho Lee singled, driving in Jong-wook Lee for the game-tying run to make it 3all and send the game into extra innings.

Japan batted first, with Chang-yong Lim pitching for South Korea in the tenth. Uchikawa and Iwamura hit a single to put runners on first and third with two out. Ichiro was one strike away from ending the inning when he hit a line-drive single up the middle that scored Iwamura and Uchikawa. Lim then hit Nakajima with a pitch and intentionally walked Norichika Aoki to face Kenji Johjima who was hitless up to that point. Lim was able to strikeout Johjima and send the game to the bottom of the tenth. Darvish made short work of South Korea, capping with a strikeout of Keun-woo Jeong to clinch Japan's successful defense of their 2006 championship.

Japan's Daisuke Matsuzaka was awarded the tournament MVP for the second consecutive time, with a 3−0 record and 2.45 ERA.

# Elizabeth Avery

**Elizabeth Avery** or **Elizabeth Parker** (fl.1614–1653) was an English prophet. She came from a religious family and disputed theological matters with her brother Thomas Parker.

## Life

Avery's family lived at Stanton St Bernard in Wiltshire. She was one of the three children of the Revd. Robert Parker and Dorothy Stevens. Her father was Stanton St. Bernard's vicar and prebendary. He was removed by his bishop in 1607 after publishing his views that certain religious ideas were anti-Christian; for example, he stated the sign of the cross should be avoided. By 1612 the whole family were in the Netherlands. Elizabeth reported that she thought her father godly and she that she was given a good education.

Avery published *Scripture-prophecies opened, which are to be accomplished in these last times, which do attend the second coming of Christ*, concerning theology and prophesy, in 1647. This was in the year following a publication by her brother, Thomas Parker about theology. He published his objections to her ideas in *The copy of a letter written by Thomas Parker, pastor of the church of Newbury in New England, to his sister, Mrs Elizabeth Avery* in 1650. He was annoyed not so much by the content of her writings but more by the idea that his sister could publish her ideas at all. He admitted that he had not read her 1647 publication when he wrote "your printing of a book beyond the custom of your sex, doth rankly smell".

title: 1876 Surinamese general election

# 1876 Surinamese general election

Partial general elections were held in Suriname in March 1876 to elect three of the nine elected members of the Colonial States.

## Electoral system

The Colonial States consisted of nine elected members and four appointed by the Governor-General. Elected members served six-year terms, with three members elected every two years. The 1876 elections were to replace the three members elected in 1870, Daniel Benjamins, G.J.A. Bosch Reitz and N.T.A. Arlaud. However, none of the three were still members by 1876; Bosch Reitz was replaced by A.J. da Costa in 1873, Arlaud died in 1874 and was replaced by Henry Barnett, while Benjamins resigned in 1875 and was replaced by Phoebus Hitzerus Verbeek.

The elections were held using the two-round system, with suffrage restricted to men meeting certain criteria. Voters had multiple votes, and any candidate receiving a number of votes equivalent to over 50% of the valid ballots cast was elected in the first round. If not all seats were filled, a second round was held with twice the number of candidates as seats remaining, who were the candidates who received the most votes but failed to be elected in the first round.

## Results

As there were 94 valid ballots cast, candidates required 48 votes to be elected in the first round. All three incumbents were easily re-elected in the first round.

| Candidate | Votes | % | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Phoebus Hitzerus Verbeek | 83 | 88.30 | Re-elected |
| A.J. da Costa | 73 | 77.66 | Re-elected |

## Aftermath

Governor-General Cornelis Ascanius van Sypesteyn reappointed G.J.A. Bosch Reitz, Karel Daniel Brakke and Jacobus de Jong as nominated members, together with J.F. Saile Vanier.

The newly elected States met for the first time on 11 May 1876, with Bosch Reitz remaining chairman. However, he resigned later in the year and was replaced by Jurriaan Antonie Jurriaanse. De Jong took over as chairman until he and Jurriaanse resigned from the States in 1877. They were replaced by Joël Benjamin Vos and Coenraad van Lier, with A.J. van Emden taking over as chairman.

title: 16 Word Guideline

abstract: The 16 Word Guideline, or the 16-letter Principle is a set of diplomatic principles acknowledged between the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1999 as the two countries sought to improve their strained relations after the Cambodian-Vietnamese War and the subsequent Sino-Vietnamese War. These principles, said to be "guiding the development of bilateral relations in the new century", were jointly set by the highest leaders from both countries' ruling communist parties: Lê Khả Phiêu, Vietnamese Communist Party's general secretary and Jiang Zemin, Chinese Communist Party's general secretary.

# 16 Word Guideline

The ***16 Word Guideline**,* or the **16-letter Principle** (Chinese: **十六字方针**; Vietnamese: **Phương châm 16 chữ)** is a set of diplomatic principles acknowledged between the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1999 as the two countries sought to improve their strained relations after the Cambodian-Vietnamese War and the subsequent Sino-Vietnamese War.

These principles, said to be "guiding the development of bilateral relations in the new century", were jointly set by the highest leaders from both countries' ruling communist parties: Lê Khả Phiêu, Vietnamese Communist Party's general secretary and Jiang Zemin, Chinese Communist Party's general secretary.

## Contents

The contents of the "16 words" are disputed among various sources. However, there are two distinct versions of this informal guideline that are widely known: a Chinese version and a Vietnamese version.

The Chinese version, often cited by high-ranking Chinese officials in many official visits between the two countries and is believed to be the original version proposed by the Chinese prior to the 1999 meeting, is as follows:

| Chinese | Sino-Vietnamese | English |
| --- | --- | --- |
| *山水相連* | *Sơn thủy tương liên,* | Our borders interlinked, |
| *理想相通* | *Lý tưởng tương thông,* | Ideals interconnected, |
| *文化相同* | *Văn hóa tương đồng,* | Cultures interwoven, |
| *運命相關* | *Vận mệnh tương quan.* | And our fates intertwined. |

The Vietnamese version, said to be the adaptation of the aforementioned version and commonly cited in Vietnamese state-run media during high-level visits between Vietnam and China, is as follows:

| Vietnamese | Chinese | Sino-Vietnamese | English |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| *Láng giềng hữu nghị,* | *睦邻友好* | Mục lân hữu hảo, | Friendly neighbourliness, |
| *Hợp tác toàn diện,* | *全面合作* | Toàn diện hợp tác, | Comprehensive cooperation, |
| *Ổn định lâu dài,* | *长期稳定* | Trường kỳ ổn định, | Long-term stability, |
| *Hướng tới tương lai.* | *面向未来* | Diện hướng vị lai. | Future-oriented thinking. |

## Controversies

The 16 Word Guideline is often the subject of controversies and public discourse in Vietnam, especially during important diplomatic events between Vietnam and China. Government critics view the principle, among other agreements with China during the normalization of relations between the two countries, as a concession to China. This view is said to stem from anti-communist sentiments as well as deep-rooted wariness since the people of Vietnam has been at constant war with China for millennia and because of territorial disputes regarding Paracel and Spratly.

# American Soldier (song)

"**American Soldier**" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Toby Keith. It was released in November 2003 as the second single from his album *Shock'n Y'all*. It became a number one hit on the *Billboard* U.S. Hot Country Songs chart, keeping the top spot for four weeks. Keith wrote the song with Chuck Cannon.

## Background and writing

Keith said that the song was written "for all the times that I get to meet the troops on these USO tours, and since Courtesy of Red, White, and Blue, the P.O.W.s and the families that have come and brought me back my old CD covers and stuff that they had and shown how much support they had (for me), this is my support for the American fighting men and women."

## Content

"American Soldier" is about an American in the Army Reserves. As he gets dressed and packs his bags for deployment, various clips show soldiers from different wars throughout U.S. history. Although each soldier is in a different battle and time period (the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and the present War on Terror), they are all meant to exemplify the traits of an American soldier: loyalty, fearlessness, and bravery. Meanwhile, the family arrives at a U.S. military base where the protagonist will be flown off to training camp. After saying goodbye to his wife and children, he boards a United States Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, ready to serve his country.

## Critical reception

Ray Waddell, of *Billboard* magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Keith "makes his politics readily apparent on the gentle, powerful" song.

## Commercial performance

"American Soldier" debuted at number 53 on the U.S. *Billboard* Hot Country Songs chart on the chart dated November 22, 2003, at the same time that Keith's previous single "I Love This Bar" was at number one. It was certified Platinum by the RIAA on December 10, 2013, slightly more than ten years after its release. The song reached its millionth digital sales mark in the US in January 2017, and has sold 1,032,000 as of July 2017.

## Music video

The music video was directed by Michael Salomon, and premiered on CMT on December 13, 2003. Toby Keith traveled to Edwards Air Force Base in Edwards, California to film the song's music video, featuring off-duty soldiers, reservists, and their families. The video begins with a man getting a phone call early one morning to go to war. He gets himself and his family ready in the morning, the service member acting like it's just another day, and they head off to a military base for him to leave for the war. He hugs his wife and kids, and gets on the plane, while his family watches sadly and wave goodbye from the gate as the plane leaves. The scenes are also intercut with soldiers from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Desert Storm. The video also features Keith performing in a military aircraft hangar.
