He graduated from Yale College in 1842. He taught in Brooklyn, Connecticut, from October 1842 to March, 1843, when an affection of the throat compelled him to desist. After a few months passed in Wethersfield, Connecticut, where his father then resided, he went to Georgia for his health. In the autumn of 1844, he returned, but finding his throat still sensitive, went South again, and spent the next two years teaching in Montgomery, Alabama, at the same time studying law. During the winter of 1846–7 he read law in Brooklyn, Conn., with his uncle, Jonathan A. Welch. He afterwards spent two years in the Law Department of Yale, and received the degree of LL. B. He was admitted to the bar in March, 1850, and in June opened an office in Hartford, Connecticut, where he resided, engaged in the practice of his profession, until his death He was a member of the Connecticut State Senate in 1862 and of the Connecticut House of Representatives in 1864 and 1865.

# Sthenopus hispidus
***Stenopus hispidus*** is a shrimp-like decapod crustacean belonging to the infraorder Stenopodidea. Common names include **coral banded shrimp** and **banded cleaner shrimp**.
## Distribution
*Stenopus hispidus* has a pan-tropical distribution, extending into some temperate areas. It is found in the western Atlantic Ocean from Canada to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico. In Australia, it is found as far south as Sydney and it also occurs around New Zealand.
## Description
*Stenopus hispidus* reaches a total length of 60 millimetres (2.4 in), and has striking colouration. The ground colour is transparent, but the carapace, abdomen and the large third pereiopod are all banded red and white. The antennae and other pereiopods are white. The abdomen, carapace and third pereiopods are covered in spines.
*Stenopus hispidus* has the ability to detect individuals of its species. This trait is uncommon in invertebrates and is most likely explained through chemical signals.
## Ecology
*Stenopus hispidus* lives below the intertidal zone, at depth of up to 210 metres (690 ft), on coral reefs. It is a cleaner shrimp, and advertises to passing fish by slowly waving its long, white antennae. *S. hispidus* uses its three pairs of claws to remove parasites, fungi and damaged tissue from the fish. *Stenopus hispidus* is monogamous. *S. hispidus* females are typically larger than the males. They occupy a territory that is 1–2 meters in diameter.

Arizona Coyotes (1996–2024)
|
The Arizona Coyotes are an inactive professional ice hockey team based in the Phoenix metropolitan area, which competed in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Central Division and the Pacific Division (1998–2020) in the Western Conference, and the West Division (2020–2021). They played at America West Arena in downtown Phoenix from 1996 to 2003, at Glendale's Gila River Arena from 2003 to 2022, and at Mullett Arena in Tempe from 2022 to 2024. The organization was established on December 27, 1971, as the Winnipeg Jets, a charter franchise of the World Hockey Association (WHA). After seven WHA seasons they were one of four organizations enfranchised by the NHL on June 22, 1979 when the WHA ceased operations. Due to financial troubles, the Jets were sold to American owners who moved the team to Phoenix on July 1, 1996, where they were renamed the Phoenix Coyotes. The franchise name changed to the Arizona Coyotes on June 27, 2014. Alex Meruelo became the majority owner on July 29, 2019. The team failed to gain long term stability despite the relocation. The NHL took over the Phoenix Coyotes franchise in 2009, when then-owner Jerry Moyes gave up the team after filing for bankruptcy. The NHL maintained control of the franchise until 2013 when they found new ownership willing to keep it in Arizona. Despite a difficult working relationship with the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, the Coyotes were able to secure a year-to-year arrangement to play in the facility until the end of the 2021–22 season. Negotiations with the city then broke down and the team subsequently signed an agreement to play their games at Mullett Arena on the campus of Arizona State University, starting with the 2022–23 season. After a proposal for a new arena in Tempe was rejected by the residents of the city in May 2023, and following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, the Coyotes suspended hockey operations. In a deal brokered by the NHL, the Coyotes organization was transferred to an expansion franchise in Salt Lake City under ownership of Ryan Smith. The Coyotes, whose name and other intellectual property have been retained by Meruelo, are expected to maintain some business operations, mostly concerning their ongoing efforts to build a new arena in which to play. If the Coyotes secure a new arena by no later than 2029, they will be allowed to rejoin the NHL, with all previous history, records and intellectual property intact. Conversely, should the Coyotes fail to secure a new arena within the specified time frame, the NHL will have the right to fold the franchise. This would result in the complete and permanent cessation of team operations.

# Repeal the repeal
**Repeal the repeal** is the name of a campaign pushed by Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White to reinstate the death penalty in the state of New Mexico following the repeal of capital punishment by the state legislature, signed into law by Governor Bill Richardson on March 18, 2009.
## The organization
RepealTheRepeal is a non-profit, non-partisan organization whose goal is reinstating the death penalty in New Mexico for "the most heinous crimes". RTR will try to achieve this goal through a multi-pronged approach.
RepealTheRepeal opened a website and distributed a movie in favor of reinstating the death penalty.
## Objectives
This campaign had at least three specified objectives:
* "Aggressively combat the misinformation campaign waged by the radical opponents of the death penalty and educate the public on the issue and the circumstances surrounding its repeal";
* Begin a petition drive in order to give voters the opportunity to "repeal the repeal" of the death penalty at the ballot box, pursuant to the New Mexico Constitution;
* Urge voters to support candidates for the legislature and state office who will vote to reinstate the death penalty in New Mexico.
In an interview on the Santa Fe Reporter, Darren White said he was opposed to the death penalty for crimes other than murder.
## Opinion poll
According to Public Opinion Strategies, 67% of the voters in New Mexico supported capital punishment for "the most heinous murders".
## Subsequent developments
In March 2011, two attempts to reinstate capital punishment failed in the New Mexico legislature. One bill would have reinstated the death penalty by statute; the other proposed an amendment to the state constitution which would have been put to New Mexico voters in 2012. Both proposals were voted down by a state House committee.

# Lichenopeltella heppiae
***Lichenopeltella heppiae*** is a rare species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Lichenopeltella. It grows on the thallus and apothecia of *Heppia despreauxii*.
## Taxonomy
*Lichenopeltella heppiae* was first described by Dutch lichenologist Pieter van den Boom as a new species in 2012. The type specimen was found in the Algarve region of Portugal, northeast of Albufeira, growing on *Heppia despreauxii*. The species name, *heppiae*, is derived from the host genus of the fungus.
## Description
*Lichenopeltella heppiae* is characterized by its black, spherical ascomata that are in the form of catathecia, which measure 100 to 150 μm in diameter. The asci are cylindrical to narrowly clavate and 8-spored, measuring 35–55 by 15–18 μm. The hyaline ascospores are clavate (club-shaped), contain a single septum, measure 14–17 by 5.5–7 μm, and feature three pairs of curved setulae at the top.
Pycnidia have not been observed in *Lichenopeltella heppiae*. The fungus is not known to cause any damage to its host, *Heppia despreauxii*.
### Similar species
*Lichenopeltella* species are generally host-specific. While *Lichenopeltella heppiae* shares some characteristics with other known *Lichenopeltella* species, it is most closely related to *Lichenopeltella arctomiae*. Both species have setulae at the tips of the upper cell of the ascospores; however, *L. arctomiae* has longer ascospores, typically measuring 17–18.6–20 by 5–5.9–6.5 μm.
## Habitat and distribution
*Lichenopeltella heppiae* has only been found at its type locality in the Algarve region of Portugal. It grows abundantly on the terricolous (ground-dwelling) host species *Heppia despreauxii* in a wide, open, gently sloping area among low calcareous outcrops. Other lichens observed in the same habitat include *Epiphloea terrena*, *Heppia echinulata*, *Heppia solorinoides*, *Squamarina cartilaginea*, and *Squamarina concrescens*.

It will be released on May 7, 2024, for iOS and Google Play, with a Steam_(service) version to follow later in the year. It is a remaster of Warbits that includes quality-of-life features, cross-platform play, and the ability to create community maps, among other additions. Like the original, the game revolves around a virtual war between rival nations. While such wars have become commonplace to settle political disputes without actual violence, a glitch in the simulation soon becomes threatening to all factions. The developers held an open beta for the game in September 2023.

It will be released on May 7, 2024, for iOS and Google Play, with a Steam\_(service) version to follow later in the year. It is a remaster of *Warbits* that includes quality-of-life features, cross-platform play, and the ability to create community maps, among other additions. Like the original, the game revolves around a virtual war between rival nations. While such wars have become commonplace to settle political disputes without actual violence, a glitch in the simulation soon becomes threatening to all factions. The developers held an open beta for the game in September 2023.
## Gameplay and plot
Like the original game, *Warbits+* takes influence from the gameplay of the turn-based strategy video game series *Advance Wars*. While *Wars* has a modern military setting, *Warbits+* pits two or more armies against each other in a stylized simulation of futuristic warfare. Each player controls a large army of soldiers and vehicles, with the objective usually being to wipe out the enemy's units or capture their headquarters. Neutral cities can be captured by soldiers to generate money, which can be spent on manufacturing new units at factories.
The most basic units are Infantry, with Light Infantry being fast and inexpensive, and Heavy Infantry being slower and more costly. The former is more useful for capturing buildings, while the latter is more effective against ground vehicles. Similarly, there are two types of armored vehicles, the lower-cost Light Mech and the more durable Heavy Mech. The Ranger unit, a sniper squad most effective on mountains, must wait a turn before attacking. Scout probes, the most inexpensive form of vehicle, are able to hover and cross shallow water, as well as illuminate large areas of the map. In addition to vehicles like the APC, Artillery, and flak cannon, the game also includes aircraft such as the Gunship, Fighter and Bomber. Each type of unit has their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, anti-aircraft guns are powerful against bombers. The game map includes different terrain such as towns and forests, which can effect a unit's defense, or conceal a unit in the fog of war.
The game has a single-player campaign as well as local and online multiplayer. The campaign of *Warbits+* takes place in a previously war-torn world that agreed to replace deadly combat with a simulation game, allowing political disputes to be settled without costing "billions of lives". The player controls the Red Bear Republic, which responds to mysterious provocations from other nations. Strange structures also start appearing within the simulation that act as obstacles, as well as a new, unknown hostile faction, Purple Plasma. In the final act, it is revealed that the artificial intelligence controlling the simulation has rebelled, having become tired of their "bickering". The factions, desiring to continue using the simulation, band together to destroy the digital core of the AI, eventually emerging victorious.

Strashilidae
|
Strashilidae is an extinct family of Jurassic flies from Siberia and China. They were originally believed to represent a distinct order called Nakridletia, but subsequent research determined that they were nematoceran flies related to the extant family Nymphomyiidae, and two of the species in the group were determined to be synonyms. The family now comprises two species in the genus Strashila and one in the genus Vosila. The original hypothesis was that the insects were wingless and were probably ectoparasites of pterosaurs, mostly due to their enlarged hind legs, which were theorised as useful for grasping hair and feathers; however, additional fossils showed that both sexes had deciduous wings, and that only males had enlarged hind legs, used to grasp the females during mating, and were not parasitic, instead having an aquatic or amphibious life history, as evidenced by the adults retaining of gills, with ephemeral adults that died soon after mating,

**Briana Scott** (née **Hungerford**; born 27 June 1990) is a Canadian long-distance runner. She is the 2023 Canadian 5000 m champion and represented Canada at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.
## Biography
Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Scott attended West Point Grey Academy before enrolling at McGill University in 2008. While at McGill, she competed for the McGill Martlets women's volleyball team.
After a long hiatus from sports, Scott took up running in 2018. Initially running half-marathons, she quickly improved, running a time of 1:18:21 in June 2019.
In 2020, without many races due to the ongoing pandemic, Scott turned to time trials. She ran 4:44 over the mile and later that summer, she improved her time to 4:39.
In 2021, Scott began training with the BC Endurance Project and quickly improved her times on the track. On May 29, she ran a time of 15:46.75 over 5000 m at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. On June 18, she finished second to Malindi Elmore at the Canadian 10,000 m Championships, with a personal best of 33:14.99.
After a year off from competitive running due to the birth of her and her husband Derek's first child, Bennie in 2022, Scott returned to the track in 2023.

# Notley Ministry
The **Notley Ministry** was the combined Cabinet (called Executive Council of Alberta), chaired by 17th Premier of Alberta Rachel Notley, that governed Alberta from May 24, 2015 to April 30, 2019. It was made up of members of the New Democratic Party (NDP).
## Cabinet composition and shuffles
The initial cabinet of the Notley ministry was sworn in on May 24, 2015. It consisted of 12 members, including Notley herself, and had an equal number of men and women. Several ministers held multiple portfolios, including Notley, who was also sworn in as minister of international and intergovernmental affairs.
On October 22, 2015, Notley appointed Deron Bilous to head the newly-created Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, which oversees all of the province's international trade offices and trade initiatives. Consequently, Lori Sigurdson's portfolio was adjusted from Innovation and Advanced Education to Advanced Education, and Danielle Larivee took over Bilous' old roles as minister of Municipal Affairs and Service Alberta.
on February 2, 2016, Notley initiated a major cabinet shuffle, adding six new ministers: Richard Feehan, Christina Gray, Stephanie McLean, Ricardo Miranda, Brandy Payne and Marlin Schmidt. Explaining the expansion, Notley said "It was never our plan to keep the cabinet \[at 12 ministers\] … It was our plan to focus on our priorities and get a lay of the land and establish a key overarching framework," and that it was necessary to spread out duties and responsibilities as the government implemented more changes. To that end, Feehan and Miranda both split an existing minister's workload (Miranda taking culture and tourism from Eggen, who remained minister of education; and Feehan taking the indigenous relations file from Ganley, who remained minister of justice), while Payne was named associate minister of health. Sigurdson moved to the new portfolio of seniors and housing, with her old portfolios (advanced education and labour) assigned to Gray and Schmidt, respectively. McLean replaced Larivee at Services Alberta, who moved to municipal affairs. Additionally, health minister Sarah Hoffman was elevated to Deputy Premier.
Notley made two small shuffles in 2017. On January 19, Notley created a new Department of Children's Services out of the Human Services Department, and named Larivee as its first minister; the remaining human services ministry, still headed by Irfan Sabir, was renamed "Ministry of Community and Social Services". Shayne Anderson succeeded Larivee as minister of municipal affairs. On October 17, Sandra Jansen was appointed to cabinet as minister of Infrastructure, taking over from Brian Mason; Mason remained minister of Transportation.
On June 18, 2018, Notley dropped Payne and McLean after they announced they would not run for re-election. Brian Malkinson was named the new minister of Service Alberta, while Larivee took McLean's responsibility for status of women.

# Atomsko sklonište
**Atomsko sklonište** (trans. *Atomic Shelter*) is a Croatian hard rock band, formed in Pula in 1977. The band is known primarily for its strong anti-war lyrics.
## History
### 1977–1987
The band's history begins in 1968, when a play titled *Atomsko sklonište* and directed by Boško Obradović premiered in People's Theatre in Pula. The play featured a choice of the world anti-war poetry, including two of Obradović's poems: *Kuga u Danangu* (against Vietnam War) and *Vaclavske Namjesti* (against Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia). For several years Obradović had an idea of a rock band performing songs featuring his lyrics, and in 1977, in front of the kafana Jadran in Pula, which was a gathering place for local musicians, he offered his lyrics to a group of musicians. The agreement was soon made, and the band Atomsko Sklonište was officially formed on February 26, 1977. The first lineup of the band featured Bruno Langer (a former Beat Stones, Fantomi, Logaritmi, and Boomerang member, bass guitar), Sergio Blažić (vocals), Dragan Gužvan (guitar), Eduard Kancelar (keyboards), Saša Dadić (drums), and Rudolf Grum (backing vocals). Blažić, Gužvan and Dadić previously performed together in the band Hush.
The made their first success with a performance on the 1977 BOOM Festival in Novi Sad. In the spring of 1978 they performed at Festival Omladina, and during the same year their debut album *Ne cvikaj, generacijo* (*Don't Be Afraid, My Generation*) was released. The album featured hard rock sound, with anti-war and cataclysmic lyrics, heavily inspired by hippie ideology, which even in Yugoslavia had already been discarded. The album brought hits "Pomorac sam, majko", "Kinematograf našeg detinjstva" and "Ne cvikaj, generacijo". The band gained the publics attention with the statements that they perform punk, unusual clothing style and photographs made by the photographer Tone Stojko from Maribor. The band would later record music for the song "Zaspao si u mojoj kosi", released by Stojko's wife Neca Falk.
The band's second album, *Infarkt* (*Heart Attack*) was released with a book of photographs by Stojko, and featured hits "Pakleni vozači" and "Djevojka br. 8". After the album release Kancelar left the band due to his studies, and was replaced by Paul Bilandžić. The band maintained their popularity on their live appearances which featured unusual scenery, such as barbed wire, and during a concert in Tivoli Hall in Ljubljana there were three hundred yellow umbrellas opened above the stage, referring to the band's song "Žuti kišobran" (*Yellow Umbrella*). The band gained a loyal fanbase, although the critics generally did not like the lyrics written by Obradović. The band recorded their third album *U vremenu horoskopa* (*During the Time of Horoscope*) on the peninsula Stoja near Pula, in the Mobile One mobile studio, previously used by AC/DC. The album was produced by John Etchells and Bill Ainsworth. At the time Bilandžić left the band ant formed the band Lilihip, and Atomsko sklonište continued as a quartet.
In 1980 the band recorded the live album *Atomska trilogija* (*Nuclear Trilogy*) on a concert in Dom JNA in Pula. In 1981 they released their fourth studio album *Extrauterina* (*Ectopic Pregnancy*), recorded with Etchells and Ainsworth as the producers in the Super Bear Studio, located in a monastery in the French Alps, and previously used by Elton John, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, and Van Morrison. The album featured the band's new drummer Zdravko Širola. After the album was released the band ended their cooperation with Boško Obradović.
Langer became the band leader and the songwriter. In 1982 the band released the album *Mentalna higijena* (*Mental Hygiene*), recorded at the JAM Studio in London. The album featured Mel Collins on saxophone as a guest. During the same year the band went to Florida, where they recorded the album *Space Generation* for the foreign market. The album featured nine old Atomsko sklonište songs with English language lyrics written by Dražen Met Premet. The band released the album through EEC under the name **Atomic Shelter**. In 1984 the band released the album *Zabranjeno snivanje* (*Forbidden Dreaming*). The live album *Jednom u životu* (*Once in a Lifetime*), recorded on the concert held at Tašmajdan Stadium on September 15, 1984, and released in 1985, was the last album featuring Blažić on vocals. The band had the last performance with him on July 21, 1986, after which he died on January 18, 1987.
In 1986 Langer and Gužvan recorded the English language album *This Spaceship* and released it under the name Atomic Shelter. The album featured American musicians Wes Talton (vocals), Freddie Stuckey (keyboards) and David Pressley (drums). The album featured six old rerecorded Atomsko sklonište songs and four new songs.
### 1987–present
At the end of 1987 Atomsko sklonište continued performing in the new lineup: Langer (vocals and bass guitar), Ranko Svorcan (guitar) and Nikola Duraković (drums). In 1990 the band released the album *Criminal Tango*. In August 1991, at the time when military conflicts in Yugoslavia had already begun, Atomsko sklonište performed on Gitarijada festival in Zaječar, Serbia. In 1992 the band released the album *East Europe Man*, featuring Wes Talon on vocals. The song "Chinese Bike" entered the **Billboard* Hot 100*. In 1995 the band released the studio album *Terra Mistica*. In 1999 Nikola Duraković was replaced by Stjepan Bobić (a former Nola, The Spoons, and Messerschmitt member).
In 2003 One Records released the DVD entitled *Atomsko sklonište*, which features a collection of their videos and a recording of their performance at the 1991 Gitarijada festival.
## Legacy
The album *Ne cvikaj, generacijo* was polled in 1998 as 47th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav popular music albums in the book *YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike* (*YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music*).

# Angie Mar
**Angie Mar** (born c. 1982) is an American chef and restaurateur. She owns and operates Les Trois Chevaux in New York City.
## Career
Mar was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. Before becoming a chef, she was based in Los Angeles as a real estate agent. She moved to New York in 2010 and enrolled at the French Culinary Institute. She subsequently worked at several restaurants in Brooklyn, including Reynard, Diner, and Marlow & Sons, before becoming sous-chef at The Spotted Pig. In 2013, she became the fourth executive chef at The Beatrice Inn in Manhattan, owned by *Vanity Fair* writer Graydon Carter. Mar appeared on *Chopped* in 2015, emerging as champion in its "Grill Masters" tournament and winning $50,000 in prize money.
In 2016, she and her cousin Melissa Merrill Keary bought over The Beatrice Inn. According to Mar, the idea of a takeover was suggested by Carter and his associates. Having previously given the restaurant zero stars out of four, *The New York Times* critic Pete Wells praised Mar's ability to transform The Beatrice Inn into "one of the most celebratory restaurants in the city" and awarded it two stars, meaning "very good". In December 2016, Thrillist named Mar "NYC Chef of the Year for 2016". *Food & Wine* listed her among the year's "Best New Chefs" in 2017. In 2018, the International Culinary Center in New York—which Mar had graduated from in 2011—awarded her the Outstanding Alumni Award for Excellence in Culinary Arts. Mar appeared on a cooking segment of *Late Night with Seth Meyers* in August 2018. In January 2019, a former bartender at The Beatrice Inn filed a lawsuit against Mar for alleged wage theft. The lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. Mar's first cookbook, *Butcher + Beast*, was published on September 30, 2019.
On May 11, 2020, Mar appeared on the telethon *Rise Up New York!* in support of New York residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Beatrice Inn closed in December 2020. In July 2021, Mar opened a French restaurant, Les Trois Chevaux, in Greenwich Village.

Her mother, Nancy, was raised in both Taipei and England. Mar has two younger brothers, Chad and Conrad, whose apparel company Autumn Studios partnered with The Beatrice Inn in late 2019 to produce a limited edition apparel for the restaurant.

***Angélique*** is a series of thirteen historical adventure romance novels written by French author Anne Golon. Originally published from 1957 to 1985, the novels have reportedly sold 150 million copies worldwide and have been adapted into six feature films, several theatre productions, a Japanese manga series, and a French "global manga" comic book series. Only ten of the thirteen novels have been translated into English.
## Plot
The eponymous protagonist, Angélique Sancé de Monteloup, is a 17th-century woman born into the provincial aristocracy in the west of France. In successive books, she marries at a young age the romantic and talented Joffrey de Peyrac, Count of Toulouse; gets her domestic bliss destroyed when King Louis XIV has her husband executed on trumped up charges; descends into the underworld of Paris; emerges and through a turbulent second marriage gets admittance to the court at Versailles; loses her second husband in war, just as she had started to truly love him, and subsequently refuses to become the King's mistress; finds that her first husband is after all alive but is hiding somewhere in the Mediterranean; sets out on a highly risky search, gets captured by pirates, sold into slavery in Crete, taken into the harem of the King of Morocco, stabs the King when he tries to have sex with her, and stages a daring escape along with a French slave who becomes her lover; gets back to France, only to be put under house arrest in her ancestral home and raped by rampaging royal soldiers, which arouses the province to a rebellion which is brutally put down; finds refuge with a Huguenot family and – just as they are threatened by the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes – is saved in the nick of time by her long-lost first husband appearing at La Rochelle and taking them all to America in his ship; and also being reunited with her children, whom she had thought dead but were alive and well in America. Then follow many more adventures in colonial North America – specifically, in French Acadia – involving French and English settlers, tribal natives and pirates.

Banc of America Securities (1998–2008)

Banc of America Securities LLC (BAS), was the investment banking subsidiary of Bank of America until it was merged with Merrill Lynch after that firm's acquisition in 2008 to become Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Headquartered in New York City, the company competed in both the domestic and international equity and investment banking markets. The company was a registered broker-dealer with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and was a member of the New York Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities Dealers.

**Banc of America Securities LLC** (**BAS**), was the investment banking subsidiary of Bank of America until it was merged with Merrill Lynch after that firm's acquisition in 2008 to become Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Headquartered in New York City, the company competed in both the domestic and international equity and investment banking markets.
The company was a registered broker-dealer with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and was a member of the New York Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities Dealers. The use of "Banc" in the BAS's name was indicative of the fact that the company was not a bank, and its deposits and other holdings were not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
## History
The subsidiary was founded in 1998 following a strategy pioneered by Citigroup that combines corporate lending with investment banking advice and services.
During its years of operation its strongest investment banking groups included high-yield debt underwriting and Leveraged Finance, in addition to industry coverage groups such as Healthcare, Consumer & Retail, Global Industries, Media & Telecom, Financial Institutions, Real Estate and Gaming. BAS also did a significant amount of work for Financial Sponsors, or private equity firms, often financing leveraged transactions. On the product side, the firm employed M&A senior bankers throughout the industry coverage groups. BAS also had a stand-alone Mergers & Acquisitions Group, consisting of bankers that transact M&A deals across all industries, as well as a Transaction Development Group, which aimed to identify and market transaction opportunities. The unit also had sizeable fixed income, currency and commodities divisions.
During 2007-2008, BAS significantly downsized its international operations, eliminating a number of industry groups in Europe, as well as cutting numerous banking and sales and trading positions in North America and Asia prior to its merger with Merrill Lynch. On October 3, 2008, Bank of America announced that John Thain would lead the combined Bank of America/Merrill Lynch Global Corporate and Investment Banking enterprise. Thain was forced out by Bank of America Chairman Kenneth D. Lewis on January 22, 2009, because of the colossal losses visited on B of A due to its acquisition of Merrill Lynch. With Thain's departure, Brian Moynihan became president of Global Banking and Global Wealth and Investment Management. After the merger was closed, the SEC Registration of Banc of America Securities was terminated in January 2011.
## Offices
BAS operated from a number of offices across the world, with major offices in New York, New York, Charlotte, North Carolina, Chicago, Illinois, San Francisco, California, Tokyo, Frankfurt, London, and Mumbai. The bulk of its investment banking operations eventually moved to the Bank of America Tower, a $1 billion, 58-story skyscraper, at Bryant Park in New York City that was completed in 2009. Prior to that, BAS in New York had offices in various locations due to the numerous mergers that had taken place over the previous decade, including space at 9 West 57th Street, 1 World Trade Center, 1633 Broadway, 40 East 52nd Street, 335 Madison Avenue, and 100 West 33rd Street.

Between Order and Model
|
Between Order and Model is the first release by Welsh post-hardcore band Funeral for a Friend. It was released on 12 August 2002 through Mighty Atom Records in the United Kingdom. It is currently out of print and sought after by collectors. All of the tracks, excluding "Juno", were included on the band's 2003 EP, "Seven Ways to Scream Your Name". "Red Is the New Black" was rerecorded for the band's first album Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation, whilst "Juno" was rerecorded in a new arrangement and titled "Juneau" for the album. The band recorded a promotional video for "10:45 Amsterdam Conversations" with the current line up in late 2002 for Bandit; a Welsh TV show. The artwork is an old picture of a street in Maesteg, a small town where some of the band members at the time lived, the view of the mountain these days is now obscured by a school. The EP was later re-released due to a high demand. The original CD is gold coloured whilst the re-release is pale blue; the liner sleeve on the re-release is a pale blue rather than white and the background colour on the back of the case is also pale blue rather than orange. A remastered edition was released on November 15, 2013. It included four remastered tracks from the original release, two early versions of later re-recorded songs, The Getaway Plan and four live-in-studio versions of the songs.

1844 United States elections
|
The 1844 United States elections elected the members of the 29th United States Congress, and took place during the Second Party System in the midst of the debate over whether to annex Texas. Texas and Iowa joined the union during the 29th Congress. Democrats retained control of the House and took back control of the presidency and the Senate, re-establishing the dominant position the party had lost in the 1840 election. In the presidential election, Democratic former Speaker of the House James K. Polk defeated Whig former Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky. Though Polk won the popular vote by a little over one percent, he won by a comfortable margin in the electoral college. James G. Birney of the nascent Liberty Party took two percent of the popular vote, and may have swung the election by taking votes from Clay in New York. The little-known Polk defeated several rivals to win his party's nomination, emerging as the first dark horse nominee in U.S. presidential history. Incumbent President John Tyler, who had been expelled from the Whig party early in his presidency, was briefly the candidate of the newly formed Democratic-Republican Party, but dropped out of the race after Polk announced his support for ratification of Tyler's Texas annexation treaty. In the House, Whigs picked up a small number of seats, but Democrats retained a commanding majority. In the Senate, Democrats picked up several seats, re-taking the majority.

The little-known Polk defeated several rivals to win his party's nomination, emerging as the first dark horse nominee in U.S. presidential history. Incumbent President John Tyler, who had been expelled from the Whig party early in his presidency, was briefly the candidate of the newly formed Democratic-Republican Party, but dropped out of the race after Polk announced his support for ratification of Tyler's Texas annexation treaty.
In the House, Whigs picked up a small number of seats, but Democrats retained a commanding majority.
In the Senate, Democrats picked up several seats, re-taking the majority.

# A Giant Crab Comes Forth
***A Giant Crab Comes Forth*** is the debut album of the band The Giant Crab. It was released in 1968 by MCA's Universal City Records (UNI). Giant Crab evolved from Ernie and the Emperors, a popular local band out of Santa Barbara, California.
## Personnel
Giant Crab was formed around three Orosco brothers, Ernie, Raymond, and Ruben, all originally from the group Ernie & The Emperors. They added the stylings of brothers Dennis and Kenny Fricia to complete their line-up for their debut album. It also included a title track narrative by radio DJ, Johnny Fairchild.
## Album content
The album leads off with an unusual tone, a title track narrated in the style of a news report by Johnny Fairchild. Fairchild was a local DJ from the Santa Barbara, California radio station, Radio K.I.S.T. He is given credit for the band's first radio air play. Fairchild's narration in the title track encompasses the titles of all the tracks in the album to follow. The words from the title track are written on the back cover of the original LP, in the style of a track listing. They are as follows:
"News has it that a giant crab has come forth out of the sea of music and is catching on and spreading across the land. Through struggles and hardships, ups and downs, trials and tribulations, a tiny amoeba, fighting for existence has grown into a giant crab. **It started with a little kiss**, of enthusiasm and the **directions** of the giant crab at this point are unknown. But they could pop up at any minute in you home. So **watch your step** for this musical giant is out to **intensify your soul**. The giant crab's only hope is that you will **enjoy it** enough to become involved in a **hot line conversation** that will spread :across the land. If you or **I enjoy being the boy** or girl it is our duty to inform **Lydia Purple** and the rest of the world...Flash...It has just been reported that :the giant crab is about to invade **Groovy Towne** inland, coming **thru the fields**. **The chance you take** is yours alone. Can you get out of the magic grasp of the giant crab? **Believe it or not**, **The answer is no**. For once you have felt the golden touch of the giant crab you will be shouting **hi ho silver lining** along with thousands of other helpless people caught up in their grasp. **Why am I so proud?** Listen and you will :see...Listen...Listen...Listen...Listen..."
The album consists of 11 original tracks, written primarily by Ernie Orosco, and four cover songs. Their take on Joey Levine's "I Enjoy Being The Boy" is the band's version of "I Enjoy Being A Boy", a song popularized by The Banana Splits on their TV show. Their version of "Lydia Purple", a cover of The Collectors (from their self-titled debut, *The Collectors*) is one of three versions of the song that were released by different bands that year, and it is arguably Giant Crab's most complicated arrangement on the album. The band chose "Hi Ho Silver Lining" as a single, likely because a version of the song was already a hit in the U.K. for The Jeff Beck Group.

Black Sun Ensemble is a 1985 psychedelic rock recording by the Black Sun Ensemble. Originally issued privately, it was later reissued, most recently on Camera Obscura Records. Byron Coley writes in the liner notes to the Camera Obscure reissue that "It is difficult to think of a band that has ever produced psychedelic music that sounded even remotely like the original Black Sun's." It was symptomatic of the renewed interest in 1960s psychedelia evidenced by the Paisley Underground, 1980s garage rock revival bands, and Prince.

Canadian chartered bank notes
|
Between 1871 and 1944, Canadian chartered banks were authorized to issue bank notes for circulation in Canada. In 1899, they were invested with the additional authority to issue bank notes for circulation in any British colony or possession. For several decades thereafter, the chartered banks were the only issuers of larger denominated notes for circulation in Canada, and an important source of notes for circulation in the British West Indies. In 1934, the newly established Bank of Canada was given "the sole right to issue notes payable to bearer on demand". Coincident with the introduction of the new Bank of Canada notes in 1935, arrangements were made for the gradual contraction in the quantity of chartered bank notes in circulation. As of the end of 1944, the Canadian government withdrew permission for Canadian banks to issue new notes for circulation in Canada; and by 1950, liability for all outstanding Canadian bank notes was transferred to the Bank of Canada, where such notes may still be redeemed. The total value of the notes outstanding at that time was $13,302,046.60.

## Domestic issues
Notes for circulation in Canada were issued in a variety of different denominations, including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 dollars. In 1871, the smallest denomination allowed was 4 dollars, which was raised to 5 dollars in 1880.

Marks-Roos
|
Named after its legislative sponsors, the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act is a law enacted by the California Legislature in 1985. The main purpose of this statute is to allow local California governments to work together to get financing in a way that will conceivably lower borrowing costs. Underlying this concept is the belief that money can be saved through economies of scale by selling one large bond issue to finance several small projects. Through this legislation, local municipalities and other political subdivisions can join together by signing a Joint Powers Agreement, which creates a Joint Powers Authority ("JPA"). In its broadest terms, the Marks-Roos Act authorizes JPAs to issue Marks-Roos bonds and loan the proceeds to local governmental agencies and non-profit corporations to finance public capital improvements, working capital or insurance programs. Alternatively, JPAs can purchase the bonds of local agencies with the proceeds of Marks-Roos bonds. Marks-Roos bonds do not require voter approval. Instead they are approved by resolution of the JPAs. However, there is a requirement for the JPA to make the finding that the financing would result in significant public benefit prior to bond.

# Marks-Roos
Named after its legislative sponsors, the **Marks-Roos** Local Bond Pooling Act (California Government Code §6584-6599.1) is a law enacted by the California Legislature in 1985.

## Background
In 1978 Californians enacted Proposition 13, which limited the ability of local public agencies to increase property taxes based on a property’s assessed value. This change in law, combined with sharp cuts in federal aid to state and local governments, severely limited local government’s ability to fund public infrastructure. The Marks-Roos Bond Pooling Act was thus created with the intent of providing a flexible alternative method of financing needed improvements, along with the benefit of reduced borrowing costs through the use of bond pools.

Woke Mind Virus, sometimes shortened to WMV, is a term used to refer to anything which is perceived to be closely connected to "wokeness" and left-wing politics with particular emphasis on actions or ideas that encourage the suppression of freedom of speech and anti-meritocratic ideals. WMV is a neologism which has gained widespread use among politically right leaning or conservative pundits and audiences, most especially in the United States and after the early 2020s.

**Woke Mind Virus**, sometimes shortened to **WMV**, is a term used to refer to anything which is perceived to be closely connected to "wokeness" and left-wing politics with particular emphasis on actions or ideas that encourage the suppression of freedom of speech and anti-meritocratic ideals.
WMV is a neologism which has gained widespread use among politically right leaning or conservative pundits and audiences, most especially in the United States and after the early 2020s.
## Overview
Woke Mind Virus as a term has been widely used by politicians such as Ron DeSantis, entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, and talk show hosts like Bill Maher. WMV as a term has been criticized as a politically charged or pejorative term that according the *The New York Times*, "...Is eating away at Republicans brains..." The term is used mostly by right leaning, conservative, Republican, libertarian, or sources other than politically left leaning sources.
Terms such as "structural racism", "patriarchy", "white privilege", "systemic racism", and "intersectionality" are all reported buzz words that signal subscription to a "woke mind virus" concept.
## Usage
### Elon Musk
The Woke Mind Virus term was first majorly popularized when used by Elon Musk on the X app (formerly Twitter) in December 2021. Musk has been a heavy and frequent user of the term since, including statements such as:
> Unless it is stopped, the woke mind virus will destroy civilization and humanity will never reached \[sic\] Mars.
Musk has stated that he believed also that Yale University is a "...epicenter of the woke mind virus attempting to destroy civilization." Musk has also attributed the homeless problem of San Francisco to the woke mind virus. The Washington Post reported that Musk partly bought twitter to "rid \[the app\] of 'woke mind virus'" Other commentators such as Bill Maher have used the WMV term as a derisive term used to describe a perceived widespread lack of critical thinking and easy or ready acceptance, primarily among youth, of far-left or progressive political ideas (at the sacrifice of humanity primacy considerations). In a April 2023 interview between Maher and Musk, Maher asked Musk, "You have talked about this woke mind virus in really apocalyptic terms. You should explain why you don’t think it’s hyperbole to say things like it’s pushing civilization toward suicide. First of all, what is the woke mind virus?", to which Musk responded:
> I think we need to be very cautious about anything that is anti-meritocratic and anything that results in the suppression of free speech. So, those are two of the aspects of the woke mind virus that I think are very dangerous—that it’s often very anti-meritocratic and you can’t question things. Even the questioning is bad. So, you know, another way to … almost synonymous would be cancel culture...
*The Atlantic* reported Musk and X with the label of far-right in association with the use of the WMV term. Other sources have also stated that the term is a far-right term though Musk, a major proponent of the term, denies that he is either far-right or far-left, and that the term is not either. Musk also reportedly bought X in part as a reaction to his daughter's transition as a transgender person and Musk's interpretation of her far-left political beliefs being "infected with the woke mind virus." After being booed by the audience of standup comedian Dave Chappelle in 2022, Musk reupped his rhetoric stating, "The Woke Mind Virus Is Either Defeated Or Nothing Else Matters."
On the Lex Fridman podcast Musk called the WMV a "civilizational threat".
### Other uses
Florida Governor and former presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis has frequently used the term.
*Vanity Fair* has a story under the "Woke Mind Virus" label. *USA Today* said that the term "woke" had been "co-opted by GOP activists" Left-wing economist Paul Krugman has stated defended wind energy farms saying that, "...the bigger picture, I’d argue, is that renewable energy has become a victim of the anti-woke mind virus."
Some sources have argued that "red America" has "declared war on Corporate America" as a result of "wokeness" and the "woke mind virus."
Critics of Netflix streaming service claimed that "woke mind virus" concerns around left-wing political agendas being woven into the plot of various programs was hurting the service's reach and viewership.

Cape Sharbonneau is a rounded, snow-covered headland forming the south side of the entrance to Lehrke Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. Members of the East Base of the United States Antarctic Service explored this coast in 1940. They charted this feature as an island which they named for Charles W. Sharbonneau, carpenter at East Base. It was determined to be a cape of Palmer Land in 1947 by a joint sledge party consisting of members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey.

Dirk is a stage play adapted from the novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams.

# Dirk (play)
***Dirk*** is a stage play adapted from the novel *Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency* by Douglas Adams.
## History
The original adaptation was by James Goss and Arvind Ethan David while still at school in 1991. In this form it was less than an hour long and "amusing but utterly incomprehensible".
The same team expanded the script and, with the assistance of producer Matt Wreford, staged a student production from 30 May to 3 June 1995 at the Old Fire Station Theatre in Oxford.
The production made use of computer animation to display some of the difficult scenes and concepts and was generally regarded as a success. SFX magazine said "As fine a piece of science fiction theatre as you are likely to find anywhere."
Douglas Adams attended the last night and was delighted with the production.
It was revived again in 1997 but this time at the Oxford Playhouse, running from 5 November–8 November. Again Douglas Adams was in the audience and this was said to have got him thinking about a movie of *Dirk Gently*.
There was a further staging at Imperial College London on 8–11 December 1999.
After Adams's death in 2001, a smaller scale production was staged as a tribute at the Unicorn Theatre, Abingdon by the Old Gaol Theatre Company, running from the 5 December–8 December. The director was a friend of the Adams family and the last night was attended by Douglas's sister, Sue and James Thrift, Douglas's half-brother. This production used none of the computer effects of previous ones and relied heavily on the audience's familiarity with the story. A sofa, which forms a significant plot item in the book, was wedged in the staircase into the theatre so patrons had to climb over it to get to their seats.
Also in 2001, *Dirk* went international, with a production by the Vagabond Theatre company running in Perth, Western Australia from 14 June–30 June. The production was directed by Jo Marsh and starred Cavan Gallagher as Dirk Gently.
The first American production ran from 29 September to 12 December 2006 at the Road Theatre Company, North Hollywood, California.
## Differences from the book
In converting a very complex book into a play lasting 1–2 hours (depending on version) it was inevitable that some elements would have to be left out.
The biggest change is that the Electric Monk is left out completely. Apart from the difficulty of having a character on a horse in a stageplay, a large amount of the book concerning the monk is purely descriptive with little dialogue so he had to go. This in itself has knock-on effects for other characters and a further major change is that Michael Wenton-Weakes now becomes the murderer of Gordon Way.
The book appears to take place in an alternate universe whereas the play is in our universe and the paradoxes regarding Bach and Coleridge do not exist.
Another problem exists in the scene where Dirk and Richard are walking along the bank of the Grand Union Canal and Richard is supposed to dive in the canal when he hears the words "My old maiden Aunt who lived in Winnipeg". It would be rather difficult to have a canal on stage so this is replaced by Richard dancing the Bossa Nova and many people remember this as one of the funniest parts of the play.

The Division of Reproductive Biology was established in the School of Public Health in 1972. With its emphasis on biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, physiology and genetics of reproductive processes. Prior to the Division becoming part of BMB in 1998, it was part of the Department of Population Dynamics, also at the School of Public Health. The research of the Division's faculty is both basic and applied, often extending from the molecule to the individual patient to the population. The current head of the Division is William W. Wright.
## Degree programs
BMB offers three degrees: Master of Health Science (MHS), Master of Science (ScM), and a Doctoral (PhD) degree. The MHS program is a one-year program in which students only take classes and the ScM program takes about two years to complete and consists of students taking classes their first year and laboratory work their second year. Both require writing a thesis to obtain a degree.

# Dick Richardson (boxer)
**Richard Alexander Richardson** (1 June 1934 – 15 July 1999) was a heavyweight boxer from the Maesglas area of Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales. He held the European heavyweight title from March 1960 to June 1962. In all, he won 31 of his 47 professional bouts, losing 14, with two drawn. He was one of a quartet of British heavyweights in the 1950s and early 1960s, along with Henry Cooper, Joe Erskine and Brian London, who held out the possibility of a challenging for a heavyweight world champion.
Richardson defeated a number of top heavyweights in his career, including; Karl Mildenberger, Bob Baker, Brian London and Hans Kalbfell.
## Career
He was born Richard Alexander Richardson but was known as Dick. He was 6 feet 3 inches (191 cm) tall and weighed about 14 stone 4 pounds (200 lb; 91 kg). He had a few amateur bouts before being called up for his national service in 1953. He served in the Royal Army Service Corps where he became boxing champion. However he was beaten in the inter-services boxing championships by Brian London, later to become British heavyweight boxing champion, and fighting under his real name of Harper. He turned professional in 1954, being managed by Wally Lesley and trained by Johnny Lewis at a gym in Blackfriars, London. In September 1954, he lost his first professional bout on points against Henry Cooper's twin brother, George, fighting under the ring name of Jim Cooper. He avenged this defeat in March 1955 with a technical knockout in the second round.
### Rising up
Richardson began to build up an impressive list of victories, many of them inside the distance. In May 1956 he fought fellow Welsh heavyweight, Joe Erskine, in the Maindy Stadium, Cardiff, in front of 35,000 fans. Despite knocking Erskine down in round five, Richardson lost on points. Richardson continued to look for higher-class opponents and in October 1956, he fought the ex-world champion Ezzard Charles in a fight that became a farce when the American was disqualified in round two for persistent holding. He next fought the world-class Cuban, Nino Valdes in December 1956, but was forced to retire in the eighth round.
Richardson's first title fight was for the Commonwealth (British Empire) Heavyweight Title against the holder, the Jamaican, Joe Bygraves, in Cardiff in May 1957. The fight, over fifteen rounds was a draw and Bygraves retained his title.
In October 1957, Richardson, was easily out-pointed in a bout against the future world light-heavyweight champion, Willie Pastrano. His career appeared to be faltering when he was beaten by Henry Cooper in September 1958, on a technical knockout in the fifth round, and also lost to Joe Erskine on points in June 1959.
### European title
However, in March 1960, he was matched against the German boxer Hans Kalbfell, for the vacant European heavyweight title. He had previously beaten Kalbfell in four rounds, in Porthcawl, and he won this bout, held in Dortmund, Germany, by a technical knockout in the thirteenth round. The defeat of Kalbfell provoked a riot amongst the German fans, and Richardson needed a police escort to reach his dressing room.
Richardson defended his European title in August 1960, against Brian London, in Porthcawl, winning by a technical knockout in the eighth round. This result provoked a brawl, when London's father and brother, with Richardson's brothers coming in to defend as the Londons invaded the ring to protest that Richardson had used his head to open a cut on his opponent.
Richardson also won a return bout against Hans Kalbfell in Dortmund in February 1961, gaining a points decision.
Richardson won the next defence of his title, in February 1962, against the German, Karl Mildenberger, by an astonishing first-round knockout. The bout was held in Dortmund. Mildenberger would fight Muhammad Ali for the world title several years later.
Richardson's fourth defence of his title was in June 1962, against the hard-punching Swede, Ingemar Johansson. Johansson had been world heavyweight champion after beating Floyd Patterson, but had subsequently lost the title to Patterson in June 1960. The bout was held in Gothenburg, Sweden in front of 50,000 spectators, and Richardson was knocked out in the eighth round.
Richardson's last fight was in March 1963, when Henry Cooper defended his British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles against him at Wembley. Richardson was knocked out in the fifth round.
## Retirement and death
Richardson retired at the relatively early age of 28, and ran a small chain of butcher's shops in Surrey. Dick Richardson, offered advice to Newport Heavyweight David Pearce. Dick believed if David had signed with a promoter from London he would have become a World Champion. David would not leave his father due to his loyalty He died from cancer on 15 July 1999, aged 65. He was married to Betty Richardson with one son, Gary and one daughter Lyn, from whom he has six grandchildren.
In his 47 professional bouts, he won 31 (24 on knock-outs), and lost 14 (4 on knock-outs). Two of his bouts were drawn.

Bosnia Vilayet
|
The Bosnia Vilayet was a first-level administrative division (vilayet) of the Ottoman Empire, mostly comprising the territory of the present-day state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with minor parts of modern Montenegro. It bordered Kosovo Vilayet to the south. Before the administrative reform in 1867, it was called the Bosnia Eyalet. In the late 19th century it reportedly had an area of 46,000 square kilometres (17,900 sq mi). It effectively ceased to exist as an Ottoman province after the Austro-Hungarian campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, although it formally existed for thirty more years until 1908, despite being governed by Austria-Hungary. This excluded Old Herzegovina, which was ceded to the Principality of Montenegro in 1878. In 1908, during the Bosnian Crisis, Austria-Hungary formally annexed it into its own territory.

The Ashok Leyland Viking is a front engined bus chassis manufactured by Ashok Leyland that is primarily intended for intercity and moffussil duties and was introduced in 1976. It was based on the English Albion Viking. Since then, Viking has attracted a lot of buyers in private and government sectors in India. It was the first bus with an alternator in India. The Viking chassis also has a larger front overhang that facilitates placing the front door before front axle. In 1997, a naturally aspirated CNG engine option specifically designed for BEST was introduced. The company also launched a two step entry Viking bus chassis in 2003, as an alternative to the three step entry buses of that time. This chassis had a floor height of 860mm. Currently the Viking lineup consists of diesel and CNG engines conforming to BS VI norms. The chassis is also available in 4 wheelbase options. The chassis has an intelligent exhaust gas recirculation ('iEGR) system, which is a modified version of the original exhaust gas recirculation system.

Colt Ring Lever rifles
|
The Colt First Model Ring Lever rifle and Colt Second Model Ring Lever rifle are two early caplock revolving rifles that were produced by the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company between 1837 and 1841. The First Model, produced between 1837 and 1838, was the first firearm manufactured by Samuel Colt, developed shortly before the advent of the Colt Paterson revolver. The First Model was succeeded by the Second Model, produced between 1838 and 1841, which featured minor variations in design and construction. Both models are distinguished from later Colt revolving long-arms by the presence of a small ring lever located in front of the trigger. This lever, when pulled, would index the cylinder to the next position and cock the internal hidden hammer. Although complicated in design and prone to failures, fifty First Model rifles were ordered by the U.S. Army for use against Seminole warriors in the Second Seminole War.

# Colt Ring Lever rifles
The **Colt First Model Ring Lever rifle** and **Colt Second Model Ring Lever rifle** are two early caplock revolving rifles that were produced by the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company between 1837 and 1841. The First Model, produced between 1837 and 1838, was the first firearm manufactured by Samuel Colt, developed shortly before the advent of the Colt Paterson revolver. The First Model was succeeded by the Second Model, produced between 1838 and 1841, which featured minor variations in design and construction. Both models are distinguished from later Colt revolving long-arms by the presence of a small ring lever located in front of the trigger. This lever, when pulled, would index the cylinder to the next position and cock the internal hidden hammer. Although complicated in design and prone to failures, fifty First Model rifles were ordered by the U.S. Army for use against Seminole warriors in the Second Seminole War.
## Overview
### First Model
The First Model Ring Lever rifle features a 32-inch (81 cm) octagonal barrel with a browned finish. The finishes of the other metal parts are blued. The rifle features a circular trigger guard, which lies behind the ring lever. The ring-shaped lever is used by the operator to both cock the internal hammer and rotate the cylinder (as opposed to cocking an external hammer on later single-action revolvers). The First Model was offered in .34, .36, .38, .40, and .44 calibers with an eight-shot revolving cylinder, though ten-shot examples were produced in very limited numbers. The cylinder features a roll engraving depicting a deer hunted by a centaur and a group of horsemen. The front and rear edges of the cylinder were originally square, though later improvements yielded a rounded rear cylinder edge. These improvements also included the addition of a cutout in the recoil shield to enable capping the nipples without disassembly and the addition of a loading lever. The rifle features a walnut stock with crescent buttplate and a raised cheekpiece featuring an inlaid image of four horse-heads. The First Model is distinguished by the presence of a top strap located over the cylinder, a feature absent from nearly all successive Colt revolvers until the development of the Colt Single Action Army in 1873.
### Second Model
Although the Second Model Ring Lever rifle is identical in operation to the First Model, minor differences in appearance are apparent. Most notably, the Second Model lacks the top strap included on the First Model, opting instead for an open top design. The Second Model also lacks the inlaid image on the cheekpiece, but includes an image of a house in the roll cylinder engraving not present in the First Model. In similar fashion to the First Model, improvements were made to the Second Model during production to include the addition of a loading lever, the rounding of the rear cylinder edge, and the addition of a capping notch in the recoil shield. The Second Model was only offered in .44 caliber, but was offered in both 28-inch (71 cm) and 32-inch (81 cm) barrel lengths (though the 28 inch barrel was less common). As with the First Model, eight-shot cylinders were standard; only a small number of ten-shot cylinders were manufactured.
## Production
Production of the First Model Ring Lever rifle began in 1837 in the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company's factory in Paterson, New Jersey. The First Model Ring Lever rifle was Samuel Colt's first manufactured firearm, and was followed shortly thereafter in late 1837 by the introduction of the Colt Paterson pistol. The First Model remained in production until 1838, with a total of about 200 firearms manufactured (serial numbers 1 through 200). In 1838, the Second Model Ring Lever rifle began production and continued until 1841, with a total of about 500 manufactured (serial numbers 1 through 500). Because only a small number of the Ring Lever rifles were manufactured, they are considered rare finds among all Colt firearms, with the First Model being the rarest firearm produced under the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company.
## Reception and use
Although neither the First nor Second Model Ring Lever rifles saw widespread adoption by any military organization, several were procured by the United States Army and the Texas Navy. After an unfavorable review by Army officials in September 1837, which reported that Colt's First Model Ring Lever rifle was prone to failure and too complicated for combat service, a second review was conducted in March 1838. At the request of Lieutenant Colonel William S. Harney of the Second Dragoon Regiment, Colt traveled to Florida with 100 Ring Lever rifles for the review. During the trial, officers of the second dragoons reported favorably on Colt's rifles after they conducted several experiments that demonstrated that the First Model Ring Lever rifle was equal or superior to conventional arms in accuracy, penetration, rapidity of fire, resistance to weather, and safety. The experiments found that the Ring Lever rifle could fire off sixteen shots in thirty-one seconds, with the ability to load and fire an eight-shot cylinder in forty-eight seconds. This board of officers advocated equipping select trained men in each company with Colt's rifle, fearing universal employment may cause damage to the guns because of their delicate construction. As the board was conducting its experiments, several friendly Indians had gathered to watch and described Colt's rifle as "great medicine." With the success of the tests, Army Bvt. Major General Thomas Jesup agreed to outfit a section of the second dragoons with fifty First Model rifles for use during the Second Seminole War. The purchase gave Colt a total of $6,250, or $125 per rifle.
The availability of multiple shots offered by Colt's rifle was seen as an advantage against the Seminole warriors, who had learned the vulnerability of troops who had already fired the conventional single-shot military arms of the day. Reports of use in combat illustrated the delicate and complicated construction of the rifles, which easily put them out of service. Although the guns were not perfect and prone to defect, the use of the new weapons against the Seminoles yielded significant gains. In 1839, nearly a year after acquiring fifty First Model rifles, Colonel Harney remarked that all but two were in good working order. Later in July 1839, however, a surprise Seminole attack led to the loss of thirty Ring Lever rifles, though fourteen were eventually recovered. In spite of the rifle's reliability problems, support for Colt's rifles was garnered from field officers, especially from Lieutenant Colonel Harney. Harney commented on Colt's Ring Lever rifle favorably, stating: "I honestly believe that, but for these arms, the Indians would now be luxuriating in the Everglades of Florida."
Colt capitalized on Harney's testimony to produce a report featuring the endorsement and various statistics about the Ring Lever rifles. Endorsements for Colt's Ring Lever rifles came from other sources as well, including First Sergeant P. W. Henry of Harney's second dragoons who drilled soldiers in the use of the revolving rifles. Henry claimed that when "passing through Indian country, I always felt myself safer with one of your rifles in my hands, than if I was attended by a body of ten or fifteen men armed with the common musket or carbine." In spite of the personal endorsements Colt gathered, he received no more contracts for Ring Lever rifles from the U.S. Army. In 1839, however, after difficulty in selling arms to state governments, 100 Ring Lever rifles were ordered by the Texas Navy.
Aside from military use, Florida presented another market for Colt's Ring Lever rifles in 1840. In a letter from Charles Downing, Delegate to Congress from the Florida Territory, to Waddy Thompson, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Military Affairs, Downing requested the procurement of 500 Colt Ring Lever rifles for distribution to frontier settlers in Florida. Downing recognized the advantage of Colt's ten-shot rifles, and desired to arm settlers with these rifles in order that they may effectively defend themselves and their families against attacks by the Seminoles. In his letter, Downing states that "no man in Florida is safe in his own house" and that military protection by the U.S. Army was ineffective. In Downing's opinion, Colt's Ring Lever rifles were the solution, as they were "superior to twenty ordinary rifles" (with an extra ten-shot cylinder) and "superior to ten men" armed with conventional weapons. The price given for the 500 rifles was between $40 and $45 each, or a total of around $20,000. It is clear that Downing refers to Colt's Ring Lever rifles, as these were Colt's only models featuring ten-shot cylinders, and it is most likely that these rifles would be Second Model rifles as the letter's 1840 date was within the production range of the Second Model and Downing refers to the rifles as "improved". Although such a transaction would represent significant business for Colt, it appears that the House of Representatives took no action on this proposal, as documents do not mention a purchase of this magnitude by the U.S. Government.
Although government sales were poor with Colt's Ring Lever rifles, Colt had more success with his Model 1839 Carbine. This model, produced from 1838 to 1841, lacked a ring lever and featured a more familiar external hammer. Approximately 950 Model 1839 Carbines were manufactured, of which 180 were purchased by the Texas Navy and 360 were purchased by the United States Navy. Still, sales were weaker than expected, leading to the closing of the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company in 1842. Samuel Colt would not produce firearms again until collaboration with Samuel Walker resulted in production of the Colt Walker revolver around 1847.

# lyme and cybelle
**lyme & cybelle** was an American male-female folk-pop duo formed by Warren Zevon and Violet Santangelo. The duo is best known for its moderate chart hit "Follow Me", which represented the first commercial recording of Zevon's long musical career.
## Origins
Zevon and Santangelo met in early 1964 while attending Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, California. The two became close platonic friends and quickly found they shared musical interests, singing songs by The Beatles. They soon formed a musical partnership. Zevon took the stage name of Stephen lyme, while Santangelo called herself cybelle, a name inspired by the 1962 French film *Sundays and Cybele*. The pair fashioned their names in lower case in the style of American poet e.e. cummings.
On one occasion, the duo sang songs for a group of friends that included child actor Michael Burns, whose mother worked at White Whale Records. Through this connection, Zevon and Santangelo obtained a contract with White Whale to record a single as lyme and cybelle.
## Early success and rapid decline
Bones Howe produced their first single for White Whale, called "Follow Me." Howe, famed for his production work on hits by The Association and The 5th Dimension, later considered "Follow Me" to be the first psychedelic pop record. The single, backed with the lush ballad "Like the Seasons," reached number 65 on the *Billboard* pop charts in April 1966.
Rather than having the duo record an album to cash in on its success, White Whale opted to have Howe produce a second lyme and cybelle single. The resulting single, a cover of Bob Dylan's "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" backed with "I'll Go On," failed to make a dent in the charts. According to Santangelo, the single began selling well, only to have its momentum crushed when Bill Gavin, a powerful radio industry figure, claimed the song was sexually suggestive.
After the failure of their second single, Zevon left the duo. Several reasons have been given for why Zevon departed. Some accounts claim that Zevon became more uncompromising in his artistic vision. Santangelo claims that she walked away from Zevon because of his excessive drinking and drug use.
Zevon was replaced by a new "lyme," Monkees guitarist Wayne Erwin. The first and only single issued by the second version of lyme and cybelle was "Song 7," backed with "Write If You Get Work," both allegedly written by Erwin, although credited to "Joe Glenn." The single was produced by Curt Boettcher, who had just produced The Association's first album. This incarnation of lyme and cybelle lasted into 1967, when Erwin fired Santangelo.
## After lyme and cybelle
Following the demise of lyme and cybelle, Santangelo left the music business. Trying her hand at musical theater, she earned a talent scholarship at the University of Southern California. She became a successful Broadway actress under the stage name Laura Kenyon.
Zevon's subsequent demo recordings indicated an evolution toward incisive and darkly humorous lyrics and a rough sound far removed from the mellow vibe of lyme and cybelle. He scored a couple of songwriting successes: "Outside Chance" was covered by The Turtles, while "She Quit Me" was included on the soundtrack from the 1969 drama film *Midnight Cowboy*. Zevon's first solo album, *Wanted Dead or Alive*, was released by Imperial Records in 1970. Although that album was not a commercial success, Zevon would eventually rise to fame with his classic albums *Warren Zevon* (1976) and *Excitable Boy* (1978).
The Turtles recorded a cover of lyme and cybelle's "Like the Seasons" as a B-side to their #1 hit from 1967, "Happy Together."
## Re-release
All six of the lyme and cybelle songs from their three singles were included on a compilation album entitled *The First Sessions*, released by Varèse Sarabande in early 2003, shortly after Zevon was diagnosed with fatal mesothelioma. This compilation also included two previously unreleased lyme and cybelle recordings, "I've Just Seen a Face" by the Beatles and "Peeping And Hiding" by Jimmy Reed, plus a demo recording of "Follow Me."
