Vaudreuil—Soulanges (federal electoral district)

Vaudreuil—Soulanges is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1867.

It consists of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality. The neighbouring ridings are Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation, Lac-Saint-Louis, Salaberry—Suroît, Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, and Glengarry—Prescott—Russell.

Profile
In recent electoral history, the Liberals have been dominant after taking the riding from the NDP in 2015. Their strength comes particularly from Vaudreuil, Dorion and Ile Perrot. The Bloc has its best showings in the south of the constituency, in Les Cèdres, with pockets in Vaudreuil and Rigaud. The Conservatives have also historically done relatively well, with notable showings in 2006 and 2008 (when they came second to the Bloc).

Demographics
According to the 2016 census, 58% had French as their mother tongue, 26% spoke English as their mother tongue, 2% combined the two and 14% spoke another language.

History
It was originally created by the British North America Act, 1867 as Vaudreuil. It initially consisted of Isle Perrot, the Seigniories of Vaudreuil and Rigaud, and the first, second, third and fourth ranges of the Township of Newton and augmentation adjacent.

It was merged with Soulanges in 1914 and was re-named Vaudreuil—Soulanges. In keeping with the usual Canadian naming practices, the appellations 'Vaudreuil' and 'Soulanges' were linked by an em-dash as the two counties remained officially separate, and their combination was for electoral purposes only. It was renamed Vaudreuil in 1966, adding a portion of the Island of Montreal and Île Bizard in the process. At the time, it was defined to consist of:

 * that part of the City of Pierrefonds situated southwest of the Town of Roxboro;
 * the Towns of Baie-D'Urfé, Beaconsfield, Dorion, Île-Cadieux, Île-Perrot, Kirkland, Pincourt, Pointe-du-Moulin, Rigaud, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Sainte-Geneviève and Vaudreuil;
 * the Counties of Soulanges and Vaudreuil;
 * the village municipality of Senneville;
 * the parish municipality of Saint-Raphaël-de-l'Île-Bizard.

In 1976, it was redefined to consist of:
 * the Towns of Baie-D'Urfé, Dorion, Hudson, Île-Cadieux, Île-Perrot, Kirkland, Pincourt, Pointe-du-Moulin, Rigaud, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Sainte-Geneviève and Vaudreuil;
 * the Counties of Soulanges and Vaudreuil;
 * the village municipality of Senneville and the parish municipality of Saint-Raphaël-de-l'Île-Bizard;
 * that part of the City of Pierrefonds lying southwest of the Town of Dollard-des-Ormeaux.

In 1987, it was redefined to consist of:
 * the towns of Baie-D'Urfé, Dorion, Hudson, Île-Cadieux, Île-Perrot, Kirkland, Pincourt, Rigaud, Saint-Anne-de-Bellevue and Vaudreuil;
 * in the County of the Île de Montréal: the Village Municipality of Senneville;
 * the counties of Vaudreuil and Soulanges.

In 1996, it was redefined to consist of:
 * the cities of Dorion, Hudson, L'Île-Cadieux, L'Île-Perrot, Pincourt, Rigaud and Vaudreuil;
 * the County Regional Municipality of Vaudreuil-Soulanges.

In 1997 it was renamed "Vaudreuil-Soulanges", as it had been realigned to be perfectly co-terminal to the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality.

This riding lost territory to Salaberry—Suroît during the 2012 electoral redistribution and was renamed "Vaudreuil—Soulanges".

Following the 2022 federal electoral redistribution the riding will be renamed back to Vaudreuil. It will lose the municipalities of Les Cèdres and Pointe-des-Cascades to Beauharnois—Salaberry—Soulanges—Huntingdon.

Members of Parliament
This riding has elected the following members of Parliament:

Vaudreuil—Soulanges, 1917–1968
Note: Liberal vote is compared to Opposition vote in 1917 general election.

Fred Armisen

Fereydun Robert Armisen (born December 4, 1966) is an American comedian, actor, musician, and writer. With his comedy partner Carrie Brownstein, he co-created and co-starred in the IFC sketch comedy series Portlandia. He also co-created and starred in the mockumentary IFC series Documentary Now! and the Showtime comedy series Moonbase 8.

Armisen is the bandleader and frequent drummer for the Late Night with Seth Meyers house band, The 8G Band. He is known as a cast member on the late-night sketch comedy and variety series Saturday Night Live from 2002 to 2013. He also voiced Speedy Gonzales on The Looney Tunes Show.

Armisen has acted in comedy films, including EuroTrip, Melvin Goes to Dinner, The Ex, and The Dictator. He is also notable for his guest-star appearances in television shows such as 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, New Girl, Broad City, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Difficult People, The Last Man on Earth, Toast of London, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, and Barry.

Armisen received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Comedy Album for Standup for Drummers in 2019. He has also won two Peabody Awards, one in 2008 as part of the Saturday Night Live political satire cast and one in 2011 for Portlandia. From 2019 to 2022, he co-starred and served as writer and executive producer on the Spanish-language series Los Espookys, which he co-created.

Early life
Armisen was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, on December 4, 1966, the son of schoolteacher Hildegardt Mirabal Level and IBM employee Fereydun Herbert Armisen. He moved with his family to New York as a baby, and briefly lived in Brazil in his youth. He was raised in Valley Stream, New York, where he was a classmate of fellow SNL alumnus Jim Breuer. He attended the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan before dropping out to begin a career as a rock drummer. He said that he was inspired to perform after seeing The Clash and Devo perform on television, and wanted to be a performer since he was a child.

Armisen's mother was Venezuelan, born in San Fernando de Apure, while his father was born in Soltau to a German mother and Korean father. For much of his life, Armisen thought his paternal grandfather Ehara Masami was Japanese; however, Masami (better known by his professional name Masami Kuni or birth name Park Yeong-in) was actually Korean and came from Ulsan; he adopted a Japanese name and persona after the massacre of Koreans in 1923 when he was a high school student. Park studied aesthetics at Tokyo Imperial University and became a professional dancer before moving to Germany. After the war, he returned to Japan, and formed a premier modern dance company. He eventually emigrated to the US, where he taught dance at what is now Cal State Fullerton from 1964 to 1975. Park Yeong-in's family were members of the Korean aristocracy, and Armisen's Korean lineage can be verifiably traced back to the 1600s.

Music
In 1984, Armisen played drums in a local band along with his high school friends in Valley Stream, New York, but the group soon ended. In 1988, he moved to Chicago to play drums for the punk rock band Trenchmouth, and in the 1990s he played background drums with Blue Man Group.

Armisen played drums on three tracks for Les Savy Fav's 2007 album Let's Stay Friends, as well as tracks for Matthew Sweet's 2011 album Modern Art and Wandering Lucy's 1996 album Leap Year.

Armisen is the music director and frequent drummer of the 8G Band, the house band for Late Night with Seth Meyers, since February 24, 2014. However, the band was laid off at the end of the 2023–2024 season due to budget cuts from NBC. However, they will still pre-record music for the show, but will not perform live.

In 2018, Armisen played drums as part of Devo at John Waters' Burger Boogaloo festival in Oakland, California.

In July 2021, he performed at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island.

Television and film
While not playing with the band Trenchmouth, Armisen's interests switched to acting. In a January 2006 interview, he said, "I wanted to be on TV somehow. For some reason, I always thought it would be an indirect route; I didn't know that it would be comedy and Saturday Night Live. I just wanted to do something with performing that would lead me there."

Armisen's subsequent television work, such as some "memorable Andy Kaufman–esque appearances" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, as well as work for Crank Yankers and Adult Swim, led to a role in 2002 as a featured player in the cast of Saturday Night Live. In the 2004 season, he was promoted to repertory cast member.

Armisen has landed several minor yet memorable roles that were defined by an interviewer as "feral foreigners" in comedy films such as Eurotrip, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Deck the Halls, The Ex, The Promotion, The Rocker, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, and Confessions of a Shopaholic, Cranky Kong's voice on Super Mario Brothers movie.

Further television work included an appearance on Parks and Recreation in the 2009 episode "Sister City". For the Cartoon Network series The Looney Tunes Show (2011–2014), Armisen voices Speedy Gonzales. He and fellow Saturday Night Live alums Bill Hader and Seth Meyers write, produce, and star in the IFC mockumentary series Documentary Now! which premiered in 2015.

Armisen starred in the IFC sketch series Portlandia alongside Carrie Brownstein (of Sleater-Kinney); the first season debuted on January 21, 2011. With Brownstein, he appeared on the 2012 Simpsons episode "The Day the Earth Stood Cool", in which they play the Simpsons' new neighbors, who encourage everyone to be cool like them.

Since 2014, Armisen has been music director and sometimes bandleader and drummer on Late Night with Seth Meyers, for which he received positive reviews for his deadpan comedy and especially for his interplay with the host.

For his work on Portlandia, Armisen was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series in 2012, 2013, and 2014 and for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2014.

In 2021, Armisen was executive producer on the documentary Charm Circle, directed by Nira Burstein.

In 2022, he appeared in Wednesday as Uncle Fester.

in 2024 he appeared as FDA representative Mike Puntz in Jerry Seinfeld’s Unfrosted.

Saturday Night Live
Armisen joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2002. He was promoted to a repertory player in 2004. After 11 years as a cast member, he decided to leave the show. At the time of his 2013 departure from the show, Armisen was the third-longest-tenured cast member (behind Seth Meyers and Darrell Hammond), and he appeared in the second-highest number of sketches (856) of any cast member. Since then, Armisen has come back for multiple cameo appearances on the show, including when he hosted the season 41 finale on May 21, 2016, with musical guest Courtney Barnett.

The following is a partial list of notable roles Armisen has played in Saturday Night Live sketches.

Recurring characters

 * Billy Smith – a Native American stand-up comedian who tells Native-American-themed jokes that no one understands.
 * Fericito – a Venezuelan nightclub comedian who has his own TV show, Show Biz Grande Explosion with sidekick Manuel (Horatio Sanz).
 * Gunther Kelly – a student at George Washington University who performs songs on Weekend Update with his brother Patrick (played by Will Forte).

 * Rodger Brush – a producer of multiple "Dr. Phil"-type talk shows, each focused on a different topic (teen, marital, sexual, and pregnancy issues), who fills in when the hosts are sick.

Armisen is part of ThunderAnt, a comedy duo with Sleater-Kinney guitarist Carrie Brownstein. The duo specializes in creating comedic short skits often about independent vocations such as one-man shows, feminist bookstores, and bicycle rights activists. Armisen founded ThunderAnt.com, a website that features the comedy sketches created with Brownstein.

Armisen has directed music videos for bands like The Helio Sequence. Armisen also had a role in the Wilco documentary I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, which featured footage from his stint opening for front man Jeff Tweedy's 2001 solo tour. He also appeared in video segments on Blue Man Group's How to be a Megastar Tour 2.0. Armisen occasionally writes for Pitchfork Media and interviewed Cat Power for that company. He appeared as Jens Hannemann on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on October 19, 2007, promoting a 28-minute DVD called Fred Armisen presents Jens Hannemann: "COMPLICATED DRUMMING TECHNIQUE". In 2010, Armisen briefly joined Joanna Newsom's tour for her album Have One on Me as his character Jens Hannemann. On SNL, Armisen often plays musical instruments in sketches, has two recurring characters who are musicians (Mackey the drummer from the Rialto Grande and Ferecito from Showbiz Grande Explosion), or impersonates famous figures in the music world such as Liberace, Phil Spector, Lou Reed, and Prince.

Armisen appeared in the official music video for Man Man's song "Rabbit Habits", playing a man who charms his blind date (Charlyne Yi) but runs away after she turns into a werewolf.

In late 2014, Armisen was featured on the popular comedy web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with host Jerry Seinfeld.

Armisen is a longtime fan of punk rock music and can be seen in the documentaries Salad Days and The Damned: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead.

In 2018, Armisen provided the foreword to The Yacht Rock Book by author Greg Prato.

Armisen appears as Michael on the sixth episode of the revival of The Kids in the Hall, released on May 13, 2022.

In 2024, Armisen made a cameo as DJ Carl in Fallout, living in a shack surrounded by bespoke traps and playing colonial-era violin music, a reference to the oft-hated Classical Radio station from Fallout 4.

Personal life
Armisen was married to English musician Sally Timms from 1998 to 2004, and English-American actress Elisabeth Moss from 2009 to 2011. In 2014, Moss described their time together as "extremely traumatic, awful and horrible" and said of Armisen, "He's so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person." During a later interview with Howard Stern, Armisen said, "I think I was a terrible husband. I think I'm a terrible boyfriend. [...] I feel bad for everyone I've gone out with."

Armisen started dating actress Natasha Lyonne in 2014. Lyonne confirmed that they had ended their relationship in April 2022: "We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we're still talking all the time." Armisen began dating and married comedienne Riki Lindhome later that year, and they purchased a home together in Los Feliz.

Since working together on ThunderAnt, Armisen and Carrie Brownstein developed what Brownstein has called "one of the most intimate, functional, romantic, but nonsexual relationships [they have] ever had". According to Armisen, their relationship is "all of the things that I've ever wanted, you know, aside from like the physical stuff, but the intimacy that I have with her is like no other".

Armisen is a fan of the Red Dead video game franchise, and voiced characters in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2. He is also a fan of black metal and death metal.

Armisen has stated that he is an atheist.

Louis-Saint-Laurent (electoral district)

Louis-Saint-Laurent is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 2004.

It was created in 2003 from parts of Portneuf and Quebec East ridings.

Geography
The riding, in the Quebec region of Capitale-Nationale, consists of the northwestern part of Quebec City, including parts of the boroughs of Laurentien, Les Rivières, and La Haute-Saint-Charles, along with the Wendake Indian reserve and the city of L'Ancienne-Lorette.

The neighbouring ridings are Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, Québec, and Louis-Hébert.

The riding lost a small fraction of territory to Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles and gained a small fraction from Louis-Hébert during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

Following the 2022 federal electoral redistribution the riding will be renamed Louis-Saint-Laurent—Akiawenhrahk. It will lose territory to Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles east of the following line: Boul. Val-Cartier to Rue de la Rivière-Nelson, Rivière Saint-Charles, the eastern limits of the Wendake Indian Reserve, Boul. Bastien and Boul. Pierre-Bertrand.

Demographics

 * According to the 2011 Canadian census

Ethnic groups: 94.9% White, 3.0% Indigenous, 0.6% Black, 1.5% other

Languages: 96.8% French, 1.3% English, 1.9% other

Religions: 88.9% Christian, 0.5% Muslim, 0.4% other, 10.2% none

Median income: $35,225 (2010)

Average income: $39,793 (2010)

History
The riding is named after former prime minister Louis St. Laurent, and is mostly a reconfigured version of his old riding of Quebec East; ironically, it has not been represented by an MP from his Liberal Party at any point since its creation. In the 2004 federal election, Bernard Cleary defeated Conservative candidate Josée Verner by some 3,000 votes. Verner's win in the 2006 election, was part of a Conservative breakthrough in Quebec that helped the party win government for the first time. After five years, Verner was swept out by the NDP's Alexandrine Latendresse as part of the NDP's sweep of Quebec City.

Members of Parliament
This riding has elected the following members of Parliament:

Louis-Saint-Laurent

 * - bgcolor="white"

 * - bgcolor="white"

Change from 2000 is based on redistributed results. Conservative Party change is based on the total of Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservative Party votes.

Party-line vote

A party-line vote in a deliberative assembly (such as a constituent assembly, parliament, or legislature) is a vote in which a substantial majority of members of a political party vote the same way (usually in opposition to the other political party(ies) whose members vote the opposite way).

Sources vary on what proportion of party members must adhere to the party line in order for the vote to constitute a "party-line" vote. For example, in the United States, the Congressional Record has stated: "A party-line vote is one on which a majority of Republicans vote one way and a majority of Democrats vote another. 2. A bipartisan vote is one in which a majority of Republicans and a majority of Democrats vote the same way". Another source defined this event for purposes of classifying votes for research purposes as "one where 90 percent of the majority party votes against 90 percent of the minority party". Party-line votes are also noted to reflect the degree to which the division of power requires parties to retain cohesion in order to implement its goals:

United States
In the U.S. Congress, it is the function of the party whip of each party in each house to ensure that members adhere to party policies and in particular that members vote for or against bills, amendments, and (in the case of the U.S. Senate) for or against treaties and administration appointments as determined by senior party leadership. The leverage available to the party whip may be in rewards (such as the negotiation of side deals for pork barrel spending) or in punishments (such as withholding appointments to powerful committees). The ultimate threat is to support another candidate in the primary election with endorsements and party funds. The party whip will operate under the direction of the particular party's leader (called respectively the majority leader or the minority leader).

Prior to the 1980s, it was not uncommon for members of the U.S. House of Representatives to "cross the aisle" and vote for legislation supported by the opposing party. By the mid-1990s, however, the House became almost completely partisan and polarized.

Hank von Hell

Hans-Erik Dyvik Husby (15 June 1972 – 19 November 2021), also known as Hank von Helvete in Norway and Hank von Hell internationally, was a Norwegian singer best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Turbonegro. He was a member of Turbonegro from 1993 to 2010, appearing on six studio albums with the band, and later embarked on a solo career.

Described as "a charismatic frontman who equally channeled humor and vulnerability", he died on 19 November 2021, at the age 49.

Career
Husby began his musical career with the punk band INRI and released the EP Breakfast Serial X in 1992. He joined Turbonegro the following year, where he would become known for his interactions with the audience while performing. In 1998, Turbonegro disbanded due to Husby's drug addiction. After going through rehab, he reunited with Turbonegro in 2002. Husby left the band in 2010 to focus on his family and career outside of rock music.

In 2009, Husby had a number one single on the Norwegian Singles Chart with Maria Solheim and the song "Rom for alle". The single spent three weeks at the number one spot, including the Christmas chart for 2009. In 2010, Husby portrayed singer-songwriter Cornelis Vreeswijk in the Swedish film Cornelis. He released a cover album with Vreeswijk songs titled I ljuset av Cornelis later that year.

On 6 June 2011, Husby and his new band Doctor Midnight & The Mercy Cult, released their first album I Declare: Treason. In late 2011, he was a judge in the Norwegian TV series Idol. Husby's biography was released in Norway in October 2012, written by writer and poet Håvard Rem, where he spoke openly about his life and career.

Solo career
On 31 August 2018, Husby released the first single, "Bum to Bum", from his debut solo album Egomania. The album was released on 2 November through Sony Music/Century Media worldwide. Egomania was co-written with Swedish guitarist and solo band member Eric Bäckman, also known as Cat Casino of Deathstars. When asked why he decided to return and produce a solo record in a 2018 interview, Husby stated: "The timing was just right. I was done with others "angels" in life, and it felt like it was time to go back and do what I always should've done – ROCK. And shake ass."

On 25 January 2019, Husby's song "Fake It" was chosen for competition in the Melodi Grand Prix 2019 to represent Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest in Israel. In June 2020, Husby released his second solo album, Dead.

Personal life and death
Husby and his family moved frequently during his childhood and adolescent years, living in various places across Norway. His early childhood years were spent in the village of Å on the southwest edge of the Lofoten islands, later moving to Fauske, Rognan and Tvedestrand.

Following Turbonegro's split in 1998, Husby went through detox while living at the island Moskenes in Lofoten, where he worked as a guide at Norwegian Fishing Village Museum and as a presenter at Moskenesradioen, a local radio station.

Husby was married to model Gro Skaustein from August 2009 until October 2014. The couple had a daughter together who was born on 21 December, 2008.

Husby died suddenly on 19 November 2021, at the age of 49, and was found dead in Slottsparken in Oslo. No cause of death was made public, but his manager later denied rumours that he had committed suicide, stating that "his body had finally given in" after a long life of drug abuse. Turbonegro and former bandmates Happy-Tom, Euroboy and Tim Skold paid tribute to him on social media, as did Tony "Duke of Nothing" Sylvester, his replacement in Turbonegro, who wrote "I never tried to fill your shoes as that would have been impossible." Other tributes were made by Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes, Steve-O, Behemoth frontman Nergal, former-Queens of the Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo, Sum 41 bassist Jason McCaslin, Danko Jones, wrestler Darby Allin and actress Juliette Lewis. On 9 December, Husby was buried in Lillestrøm.

Seventh Day Slumber

Seventh Day Slumber is an American Christian rock band from Dallas, Texas, formed in 1996. They were an independent band for five years until they signed with BEC Records in 2005. They are best known for their song "Oceans from the Rain" which was the 14th most played song on Christian CHR radio in 2006 according to the Weekend 22. Their songs have been featured frequently on X the album series.

History
Joseph Rojas tried to commit suicide following a cocaine binge, and became a Christian while being taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Joseph Rojas and Bernie Dufrene formed Seventh Day Slumber in the summer of 1996 at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas, where they met, wrote, and raised money for their first four-song demo project. The band was later signed to BEC Recordings. He teamed with guitarist Evan Weatherford, bassist Joshua Schwartz and drummer Adam Witte. After signing to the Afinia label the group issued Matthew Twenty-Five three years later. Their second album Freedom From Human Regulations was also released on an independent album before they made their major-label debut with Picking Up the Pieces in 2003.

Seventh Day Slumber released Once Upon a Shattered Life in 2005 which spanned their hit singles "Caroline" and "Oceans from the Rain". The album hit No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and No. 26 on the Top Christian Albums chart. After re-releasing Picking Up the Pieces that same year, they released Finally Awake in 2007. It peaked at No. 16 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart. The Spanish-language album Rescátame contained re-recordings of previous songs and it won the 2009 Dove Award for Spanish Language Album of the Year at the 40th GMA Dove Awards. It was followed by Take Everything, an album of new arrangements of Christian music worship songs. The album peaked at No. 141 on the Billboard 200 and No. 11 on the Top Christian Albums charts. The Anthem of Angels was released in November 2011. The "Small Town America Tour" ran from August 2011 to February 2012 to promote the album.

On March 8, 2013, the band issued Love and Worship, their second worship album featuring covers of contemporary Christian songs and originals. Afterwards, on May 13, 2014, they released We Are the Broken, then toured in the fall of that year with DavsEye and Nine Lashes.

On 9 October, SDS released an EP, Redline, which featured a cover of Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike" with Disciple vocalist Kevin Young guesting; they then co-headlined with Fireflight for the Small Town America Tour with guests Shonlock and Scarlet White. In 2015, Joseph's oldest son Blaise joined the band as their drummer. On July 28, 2017, Found, the tenth studio album by the band, was released.

After a period of touring, Joseph Rojas announced in a broadcast on October 30, 2018, the release of Closer to Chaos on May 31, 2019, and its guesting songwriters, including Josiah Prince of Disciple and Kellen McGregor of Memphis May Fire. In August 7, 2020, SDS dropped a worship EP, Unseen - The Lion, which was followed by a companion, Unseen - The Lamb, on September 24, 2020, and both were combined into a single album on January 15, 2021, with two bonus tracks. Successively on June 1, the first single for their thirteenth recording, Death by Admiration, "What I've Become" was dropped; the album was released on January 28, 2022. A music video for the title track, which featured Tyler Smith of The Word Alive as guest vocalist and co-songwriter, was released on March 4, 2022.

On February 10, 2023, SDS released a single, "Surviving the Wasteland". After a second single—"A Bullet Meant for Me"—released on July 7, 2023, SDS announced the September 22nd release of their fourteenth album, Feasting on Vultures, which turned out to only be a single featuring Kellin Quinn. The album, Fractured Paradise, was moved to March 15th as release date.

Activities
Joseph Rojas began hosting a national-syndicated radio program in 2015. In April 2018, Rojas formed a new record group called Nashville Label Group. Seventh Day Slumber signed with the group's RockFest Records.

Etymology and influences
The band's name Seventh Day Slumber comes from Genesis 2:2 where on the seventh day, after creating the universe, God rested. The band's influences include Collective Soul, Live, Jars of Clay, Pearl Jam, Second Coming and Creed.

David Neitz

David Neitz (born 22 January 1975), is a retired Australian rules footballer. A strongly built forward, he debuted at 18 years old. In just his sixth senior game kicked 6 goals 6 behinds. In his 2nd year, with Melbourne's forward line consisting of Garry Lyon and David Schwarz, among others. He was shifted to the backline to fill a need, Neitz proved he was capable of playing both ends of the ground.

Neitz was the longest-serving captain in the history of the Melbourne Football Club and the first Melbourne player to achieve the 300-game milestone. He is considered one of the greatest ever players to come out of the island state of Tasmania.

Neitz was born in Ulverstone, Tasmania, he was groomed as a potential Australian Football League player from the age of 15 and targeted by the recruiters at the Melbourne Football Club, entering the AFL in 1993 as a key position player, he soon became one of Melbourne's best young prospects.

In 1994, Neitz was named to his first Victorian State of Origin team, and he went one step further in 1995 by making the All-Australian team as well as the Victorian side.

After the retirement of Demons great Garry Lyon, Neitz moved to the full-forward position and began his successful run as one of the AFL's elite goal scorers. He has led Melbourne's goalkicking seven times (1996, 1997 (equal), 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006), and in 2002 won the prestigious Coleman Medal for leading the league in goals, making him not only the first Melbourne player to do so, but also the first Melbourne player to lead the competition's goalkicking since the 1940s. On 8 April 2005, Neitz became the 40th person in VFL/AFL history to kick 500 career goals.

Neitz was appointed captain of Melbourne in 2000, and on 8 April 2005 he broke the club record for most games captained (previously held by Garry Lyon with 112 games as captain). He has been an All-Australian in 1995 and 2002, and played for Australia in the 1998 International Rules Series and 2002 International Rules Series against Ireland. In 2002, Neitz also won his first Melbourne Best and Fairest Award, the Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Medal, along with the Coleman Medal, for kicking the most goals of any player in that season.

On 8 April 2005, Neitz played his 250th career AFL game, and in 2006 signed a two-year contract extension seeing him through to the end of 2007. Neitz became Melbourne's all-time leading goal-kicker on 19 May 2006, surpassing Norm Smith's previous record of 546 goals. Two weeks later, he broke Robert Flower's long standing record of 272 games, making him the longest serving Demon in history. He played his 300th AFL game for the Demons in the defeat against Collingwood on 17 August 2007. He is one of only two players to play as many games for the Melbourne Football Club, the other being Nathan Jones.

Neitz now sits on the AFL Tribunal jury, adjudicating on high-profile cases that arise during the regular season.

Smith & Wesson Model 5906

The Smith & Wesson 5906 is a pistol manufactured starting in 1988 by Smith & Wesson.

Design
The 5906 is a full-sized, double/single-action (DA/SA), staggered-column magazine, 9×19mm pistol. Its construction is all stainless steel. The 5906 is equipped with a magazine disconnect feature which is designed to deactivate the trigger if the magazine is not fully inserted. The pistol comes standard with either a 10- or 15-round magazine. Other features include ambidextrous safety levers, a one-piece rear wraparound grip, and a choice of either fixed sights or a rear sight fully adjustable for windage and elevation. Once a very popular model with law enforcement and military units in the United States, the DA/SA 5906 has been superseded by polymer-framed striker-fired models from Glock, Heckler & Koch, SIG Sauer as well as Smith & Wesson's own M&P line of polymer framed handguns in both 9mm and .40 calibers.

Variants
The first generation Smith & Wesson semi-auto pistol designations consist of two digits, such as Smith & Wesson Model 39 and Model 59. Second generation pistols are designated by three digits; these include the Model 459, Model 659, etc. Many second generation designs were eventually upgraded with various improvements, thus becoming the third generation pistols; these are identified by the addition of a fourth digit to the second generation model number: 5903, 5904, 5905, 5906, etc. However, there are exceptions to this numbering scheme, namely the third generation Value Series pistols such as the S&W Models 915 and 910, and the Model 457.

5900 series manufacturing history

 * The Model 5903 was manufactured from 1990 to 1997, and featured an aluminum alloy frame and a stainless steel slide with a 15-round double-stack magazine. Produced from 1989 to 1998.
 * The Model 5904 has an aluminum alloy frame and blued carbon steel slide, also with a 15-round magazine, and inspired two other derivative pistols, the Smith & Wesson Models 915 and 910.
 * The Model 5905 featured a carbon steel (blued) slide and frame, and was produced in 1991 only in very limited numbers.
 * The Model 5906, produced from 1989 to 1999, is an all-stainless steel model, and is therefore significantly heavier than the aluminum-frame models in the 59XX series.
 * The stainless steel double-action only variant of this pistol, the Model 5946, along with the Model 3953, produced from 1990 to 1999, was manufactured without safety levers, and is the primary issue service pistol of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Department of Fisheries and Oceans as well as one of three pistols available for selection by New York City Police Department.
 * The Model 5967 is a Lew Horton limited edition S&W model. Only 500 of these were made as a special offering in 1990. The pistol is a 3914 carbon steel slide on a 5906 stainless steel frame, two-tone tan polymer finish with brown Hogue grips. The sights are Novak Lo-Mount fixed three-dot sights. Product code is 103048, which is a 4-inch barrel and first (square) trigger guard.

Duane Michals

Duane Michals ( "Michaels"; born February 18, 1932) is an American photographer. Michals's work makes innovative use of photo-sequences, often incorporating text to examine emotion and philosophy.

Education and career
Michals's interest in art began at age 14 while attending watercolor university classes at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. In 1953, he received a B.A. from the University of Denver. In 1956, after two years in the Army, he went on to study at the Parsons School of Design with a plan to become a graphic designer; however, he did not complete his studies.

He describes his photographic skills as "completely self-taught." In 1958, while on a holiday in the USSR he discovered an interest in photography. The photographs he made during this trip became his first exhibition held in 1963 at the Underground Gallery in New York City.

For a number of years, Michals was a commercial photographer, working for Esquire and Mademoiselle, and he covered the filming of The Great Gatsby for Vogue (1974). He did not have a studio. Instead, he took portraits of people in their environment, which was a contrast to the method of other photographers at the time, such as Avedon and Irving Penn.

Michals was hired by the government of Mexico to photograph the 1968 Summer Olympics. In 1970, his works were shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The portraits he took between 1958 and 1988 would later become the basis of his book, Album.

In 1976, Michals received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Michals also produced the art for the album Synchronicity (by The Police) in 1983, and Clouds Over Eden by Richard Barone in 1993.

Artistic influences and impact
Though he has not been involved in gay civil rights, his photography has addressed gay themes. In discussing his notion of the artist's relationship to politics and power however, Michals feels ultimately that aspirations are useless:"I feel the political aspirations are impotent. They can never be seen. If they are, it will only be by a limited audience. If one is to act politically, one simply puts down the camera and goes out and does something. I think of someone like Heartfield who ridiculed the Nazis. Who very creatively took great stands. He could have been killed at any moment, he was Jewish, and my God what the guy did. It was extraordinary. You don't see that now." Michals cites Balthus, William Blake, Lewis Carroll, Thomas Eakins, René Magritte, and Walt Whitman as influences on his art. In turn, he has influenced photographers such as David Levinthal and Francesca Woodman.

He is noted for two innovations in artistic photography developed in the 1960s and 1970s. First, he "[told] a story through a series of photos" as in his 1970 book Sequences. Second, he handwrote text near his photographs, thereby giving information that the image itself could not convey.

Personal life

Talk:Harvey Milk High School

choice
I don't think you get to "choose" to send your child to Harvey Milk. the school was created as a haven for students who've had trouble in typical public schools due to harassment over sexuality/orientation. i think that when applying there, you have to be able to make a case that you NEED to go there based on past experiences at other city public schools. and not just 'i got teased that one time cause my mom's a lesbian' but 'i get the crap beat out of me every time i go into the boy's bathroom'. this is why only a couple hundred kids go there. it's not something i'd wish on anyone, as cool a resource as HM is. also, for what it's worth, NYC is, in general, one of the most LGBT-tolerant places on the planet. you wouldn't need to send your kid to a special school to soak in that atmosphere.

 * Well it's (mostly) not as dramatic as all that anymore (though of course sadly it does still happen at some of the more hide-bound schools).  It is true that was why is was originally founded, but that was over 20 years ago.

 * Now it's one of a group of "Transfer Schools" for people who for a wide variety of reasons are not getting along in the regular high-school setting. And actually because these "Transfer Schools" are smaller and many times academically better that the HUGE impersonal neighborhood high-schools many of them are a hidden gem of the pretty dismal NYC School system.  People who are thinking of switching over to a GED Program or dropping out altogether can get a excellent public education by using this resource.

 * This is why I put the "out of date" tag on it. Anyone feel like helping with an update?  I won't have time for a while.  CyntWorkStuff 00:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree -- the above was a response to the person below who said that if she ever moved to NYC, she'd send her kids to Harvey Milk. which, to my knowledge, isn't really how it works. there has to be a history of problems in a more traditional public school setting before one would be accepted to Harvey Milk. the kind of problems you don't wish on your kids just so they can go to an interesting and trendy school. sorry for any confusion.

If I ever live in NYC, I'm going to send my children to Harvey Milk High School when they're old enough. For me, it would be the perfect decision whilst living in that area, as I'd want my children to experience the same tolerant environment at school as they would at home. Heaven knows it would be healthier than them being taunted anywhere else for their moms or their own sexuality.

I don't have children yet, but I will one day. And they deserve the same respect that I get at my own school (Victoria School of Performing and Visual Arts, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada). --68.148.38.184 02:53, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)B. Walker

Harvey Milk
✅ Wouldn't it be a good idea to link to an article on Harvey Milk himself? Not everyone knows who he was, or why a school actively promoting tolerance ought to be named after him. Nuttyskin 03:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

this school page is way out of date as academic year 2006-07 approaches
And the data contained does not paint a full picture of this school. This is for the most part an ordinary NYC 'Empowerment School' that as of 2006, has been quietly educating high-school students for the past 21 years. It should really be updated and the sensational & controversial bits be put into proper perspective.

Help in updating & correcting would be appreciated. Thanks CyntWorkStuff 02:41, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Possible Sources
Hi, if anyone sees an article or other sources of information on the subject please add it here if you aren't going to add it to the article so other editors can do so. Benjiboi 01:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, there's the obit for the founding teacher.... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/16/nyregion/16goldhaber.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.101.76.79 (talk) 01:12, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Picture AND address?
This might be contentious, but given that the school is designed to be a haven and deliberately has no identifying signs outside its doors (and students are sometimes attacked on their way to class, see this BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4023335.stm), I feel that the inclusion of the school's full address AND a photo clearly identifying the building might be a bit too much. Marthiemoo (talk) 23:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

 * It's public information, readily available. I rather doubt those looking to attack bother to check wikipedia for info. If they did, and we didn't have it, they could just as easily find it elsewhere. Banj e  b oi   23:45, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Mission statement and vision
if you see problems with this section please edit in a judicious manner. Wholesale deletes are inappropriate. CyntWorkStuff (talk) 14:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Reversions without explanation is hardly appropriate either. We don't need a direct quote of the school's full mission statement.  Quite frankly, it reads as promotional material.  The entire section should be rewritten to highlight the reasoning behind the founding of the school and what the school achieves in a more encyclopedic manner.

"did not have a studio...."
Environmental portraiture wasn't such a novel thing in commercial photography... i.e. Arnold Newman. Thus I cringe at the sentence "He did not have a studio and took portraits of people in their environment, which was a contrast to other photographers at the time."

Side cap

A side cap is a military cap that can be folded flat when not being worn. It is also known as a garrison cap or flight cap in the United States, wedge cap in Canada, or field service cap in the United Kingdom; or in vulgar slang as a cunt cap or piss cutter. In form the side cap is comparable to the glengarry, a folding version of the Scottish military bonnet. It has been associated with various military forces since the middle of the 19th century, as well as various civilian organizations.

Australia
All ranks of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) are entitled to wear the blue garrison cap with appropriate cap badge as an optional items with General Purpose Uniform (GPU), Service Dress (SD) and Flying Dress (FD) uniforms. The piping of the garrison cap for air officers is light blue, the piping for all other ranks is solid blue.

The RAAF is the only branch of the Australian Defence Force entitled to wear garrison caps.

Army
In the Canadian Armed Forces, the field service cap (calot de campagne) is defined by the Canadian Forces Dress Instructions as a "cloth folding or 'wedge cap'...Originally designed for wear during field operations and training, it may now also be worn as an undress cap with full and undress uniforms." The cap is worn as part of the undress uniform by students of Royal Military College of Canada, and as an optional item by all ranks of rifle regiments with ceremonial dress, mess dress, and service dress uniforms.

The field service cap was originally adopted army-wide in 1939, and replaced in 1943 by a khaki beret. The coloured field service cap was a variant permitted for private purchase and worn only when off duty. These were in the colours of the regiment or corps of the wearer.

Air Force
For personnel who wear air force uniform, the blue wedge cap (calot) is authorized for wear with all orders of dress, save for the combat uniform. It is properly worn "on the right side of the head, centred front and back, with the front edge of the cap 2.5 cm above the right eyebrow." Cap badges are worn on the left side, with the centre of the badge 6.5 cm from the front of the cap centred between the flap and the top seam. The cap worn by general officers is embellished with silver piping. Air force military police in dress uniform wear a scarlet flash in the front of their wedge caps showing 1 cm. Air force members of Canadian Special Operations Forces Command wear a tan flash in the front of their wedge caps.

Prior to Unification in 1968, the Royal Canadian Air Force wore uniforms similar to those worn by the Royal Air Force, including a blue wedge cap. After 1968, the uniforms of the three services were replaced by a universal rifle-green uniform; the air force, however, was permitted to retain the wedge cap, although in rifle green instead of blue. With the advent of the Distinct Environmental Uniform, the blue wedge cap returned.

The wedge cap is also the official headdress of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association and the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.

France

The French bonnet de police (or "calot") originated as a long, pointed headdress, with a tassel at the end of the trailing crown (or flamme). Gradually the flamme grew shorter until by the mid-nineteenth century the bonnet de police had become a true folding cap with no trailing crown. Instead the tassel dangled from a short cord sewn onto front point of the crown, hanging above the soldier's right eye. This style of headdress with a hanging tassel was widely worn by both the Belgian Army and the Spanish Army during the first half of the 20th century. It is still used by the Spanish Foreign Legion.

When reintroduced for undress or fatigue wear in 1891 the French army's bonnet de police had become a plain item of dress without decoration. The colour of this working cap matched that of the tunic with which it was worn (either dark blue, light blue or black prior to World War I; horizon blue from 1915 to 1930; and thereafter khaki). In 1915 the bonnet de police generally replaced the kepi for other ranks during the remainder of the First World War, because of its greater convenience when the Adrian steel helmet was issued.

Between 1944 and 1962, however, this headdress was worn by most branches of the French Army in a wide variety of colours, which normally matched those of the kepis historically worn by the particular branch or regiment. Line infantry caps for example had a dark blue base with a red top. In 1959 the bonnet de police was replaced by the beret for most units.

In the modern French Army the bonnet de police is worn by the 1st Spahi Regiment in the historic bright red of this branch and, since 2017, by the 1st Tirailleur Regiment in light blue. The bonnet de police is also worn by the servicemen of the French Gendarmerie and the Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité (CRS), the riot units of the French National Police. Members of these units may have to change quickly from an ordinary headdress to a helmet, and an easily foldable cap is therefore practical.

Italy
In the Italian language, the side cap is called bustina. It was adopted by the Royal Italian Army in the 1920s, and by the 1930s it was the main cap used by personnel belonging to the Royal Italian Army, the Regia Aeronautica (air force) and the Blackshirts. It remained in use until well after World War II.

Norway
In Norway, this is known as båtlue, literally boat cap and is used by the Royal Norwegian Air Force. The Royal Guards use a distinct variety commonly known as gardelue which is worn in garrison and while on leave.

Portugal
In Portuguese service, the side cap is known as barrete de bivaque (bivouac cap) and often referred simply as bivaque.

Two basic models are in use by the armed forces, the security forces and the fire services of Portugal.

The first model has a curved top line and is used by the Portuguese Air Force (all personnel, except members of Air Police), the Portuguese Navy (officers and sergeants), the Public Security Police (all personnel, except members of special units) and the fire services.

The second model is a pointed cap and is used by the Portuguese Army (only personnel in training) and by the National Republican Guard (GNR).

Russia/Soviet Union
In the Soviet Union, the garrison cap was known as (пилотка, from "pilot"—the original cap was a part of the air force pilots' uniform in World War I). It was the most common type of cap used by the Red Army during the Second World War and after until the 1980s. The was worn during the summer season instead of the winter ushanka. It continues to be worn in modern Russia, although more in the Air Force and the Navy, especially among submarine personnel, where its compactness is inherently practical. In the Ground Forces the has been more or less displaced by the patrol cap and the beret as an undress headgear, although it remains in the regulations. Navy tropical uniform also features the peculiar visored, to protect its wearers from the sun. The garrison cap was also the standard dress headgear for women in all of the Russian armed services (except for those units authorised to wear berets, such as airborne troops and marines), until replaced in March 2017 by the world-standard female peaked cap.

Aeroflot flight attendants wear a scarlet-colored garrison cap with a gold Aeroflot winged sickle-and-hammer stitched in the center.

Spain
The gorro de cuartel – referred to variously as gorrillo, gorra, chapiri or platano – was modelled on the later versions of the French bonnet de police and has the same vestigial tassel hanging from the front of the crown. The gorro de cuartel was originally known as the Isabellina; a large beret-like headdress which also included a tassel and was worn by the supporters of Queen Isabella II during the Carlist Wars of the mid-19th century.

It was in common use by both sides during the Spanish Civil War and continued in use by the Francoist forces after the war ended. It is now the distinguishing headgear of the Spanish Legion who wear it in barracks and on parade.

Sweden
In Sweden this style of headdress is known as a båtmössa (lit. "boat cap"). It is mainly used by the Swedish Police Authority, Swedish Customs Service, Community Service Officers and also by Navy, Air Force and Army personnel, most recognizably by the infantry and cavalry units of the Life Guards.

Turkey
In Turkey the cap is called 'kayık kep' (lit. "boat cap"). The Turkish Air Force personnel employs a navy colored one while the aviation units of the Turkish Naval Forces using a tan cap and the Turkish Land Forces units use a green cap.

United Kingdom
In the British Army, the first cap to be adopted of this style was the "Glengarry", which was authorised for all British infantry regiments in 1868 (although Scottish regiments had been wearing a round version since 1848 called a Kilmarnock or Humle bonnet, which had been folded to make a side cap). The Glengarry was replaced for officers of most non-Scottish units by a cap called the "torin" (similar in shape to the USSR's ), which was worn from circa 1884 until 1896, when it too was replaced by a style for all ranks known as the "Austrian cap", which had a fold-down arrangement, giving the appearance when unfolded of a balaclava, thus warming the ears and back of the neck. The Austrian cap (officially known as the field service cap) was then replaced by an entirely different style of head dress in 1902 and so went into abeyance from general usage, although officers continued to wear them as a private purchase item of undress uniform. An all-khaki version was also selected in 1912 as a practical head dress by the fledgling Royal Flying Corps that went on to become the Royal Air Force (who continue to use the same type of cap).

In 1937, a khaki field service cap, described in an amendment to the Dress Regulations for the Army that year as "similar in shape to the Glengarry" was introduced as the "universal pattern field service cap", and saw extensive service during World War II as a head dress to be worn with Battledress when steel helmets were not required. At around the same time coloured versions were introduced for officers of both regular and territorial regiments, although these were an optional item and were produced in a range of colours for different regiments. In 1940 the War Office announced that such caps were to be part of the uniform of the LDV/Home Guard.

Since the universal introduction of the beret in 1947, the field service cap continued as an optional officer's accessory to be worn in barrack and mess dress (as an alternative to the peaked, khaki service-dress cap). They are still tailored in regimental colours. A more obscure type known as the "tent cap" is worn by officers of the Queen's Royal Hussars only and is unique in that it is not fitted with a badge, but identified instead by its regimental colouring. Its origins lie with one of their forebears, the 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars, who adopted the cap in the Second World War to reflect their long association with the Danish royal family, whose Royal Life Guards wear a similar design of cap with their undress uniform. This cap is in turn based on the French bonnet-de-police that was worn by hussars in the Napoleonic wars and after. The Torin style of cap is still worn by the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Royal Dragoon Guards.

Royal Air Force
In the Royal Air Force, a blue-grey field forage cap (sometimes called the 'chip bag hat') of an identical style remains widely worn with both working dress and flying suits.

United States
In the U.S. Armed Forces it is known as a garrison cap, campaign cap (not to be confused with campaign hat, a distinct form of headgear), flight cap, garrison hat, fore-and-aft cap, envelope cap, or overseas cap.

U.S. Army
When first issued to U.S. "doughboys" in World War I, the hat was called the overseas cap as it was only worn by troops in France who were given the French type forage cap, as they did not have their wide-brimmed campaign hats with them. The overseas cap could be stored easily when the helmet was being worn. A blue overseas cap was adopted post-war by the American Legion, but the hat largely disappeared from the Army between the wars, with the exception of the Army Air Corps (who called it the "flight cap") where it was authorized in August 1933 and armored units. However it returned in 1939 with a finalized specification as of February 1941. The hat was widely issued from then on as "the garrison cap." With the replacement of the service cap and campaign hat, the garrison cap was given branch of service color piping, as had earlier been the case with the cord of the campaign hat (light blue for infantry, red for artillery, yellow for cavalry, etc.). This practice was discontinued when individuals had to purchase a new hat if they were transferred to a different branch of the service. Officers' piping was similarly carried over from campaign hat cords and continues: warrant officers' caps are piped in silver and black, commissioned officers' caps are piped in gold and black, and general officers' caps are piped in gold.

Additionally, starting in World War II military parachutists and glider-born forces wore an Airborne Insignia on their garrison cap—enlisted wore them on the left while officers wore them on the right. Different variants of the Airborne Insignia were worn until later in World War II when parachute and glider formations combined their unit–specific insignia into one red, white, and blue, parachute and glider Airborne Insignia. The Airborne Insignia continued to be authorized for wear on the garrison cap by those assigned to airborne units until the garrison cap was replaced with the U.S. Army's black beret.

Until May 2004, it was also part of the initial uniform issue for soldiers who received their green "Class A" Army Service Uniform before becoming military occupation specialty-qualified, and thus allowed to wear the standard black beret. That green service uniform was discontinued in October 2015.

In 2020, the US Army introduced a new green service uniform based on the WWII-era "pinks and greens" officers' uniform, which reintroduced the garrison cap to the Army.

U.S. Marine Corps

The overseas cap ("cover") was first issued to Marines in France in early 1918. Originally Marine officers wore red piping and Marine generals wore gold piping with all ranks wearing the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor insignia on the wearer's left side. The cover was made in both forest green wool and khaki cotton.

Usage continues to be common in the U.S. Marine Corps as the most common headgear when wearing service uniforms (the other option being the bulkier frame-type "barracks cover"). In addition, it is the standard headgear for Marine aviators, flight officers, and enlisted aircrew wearing flight suits. The Marine officer's garrison cap, unlike those of the Army or Air Force, does not have metallic piping; the only items distinguishing it from the enlisted cap is the placement of small officer's rank insignia on the right side of the cap and the style of the Eagle, Globe and Anchor insignia on the left.

U.S. Navy

In the U.S. Navy the garrison cap ("cover") was first authorized during World War II, originally for aviators and later for all officers and chief petty officers (CPOs). Blue and white versions, as well as a forest green version for aviation officers and CPOs were later developed, although the blue and white versions were discontinued after the war. Today, garrison caps in khaki are almost always worn with service khakis and flight suits. Officers wear a miniature version of the officer crest on the left and small rank insignia on the right side of the cap, while CPOs will wear a CPO, SCPO or MCPO fouled anchor on the left as appropriate. Like the Marine Corps, and in contrast to their Army and Air Force counterparts, the Navy caps for officers also avoid the use of metallic piping. The blue version garrison cap, essentially black, was resurrected in the mid-1990s for wear with the blue working uniforms. Enlisted personnel since 2008 have been issued a black garrison cap for wear with the new Navy Service Uniform. It has since been authorized for the officer and CPO Service Dress Blue uniforms. The garrison cap is also worn by midshipmen and officer candidates.

U.S. Coast Guard

The U.S. Coast Guard issues the garrison cap ("cover") to all service members. The cap is serge and is authorized with Tropical Blue, the Winter Dress Blue, and Service Dress Blue uniform. Regulations for the placement of insignia are similar those of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Unlike the Navy, enlisted members in the rates E-1 through E-3 wear a miniature version of the enlisted combination cap device. Like the Navy and Marine Corps, and in contrast to their Army and Air Force counterparts, the Coast Guard garrison caps for officers also avoid the use of metallic piping.

U.S. Air Force
A blue flight cap is the most common headgear worn with the U.S. Air Force's service dress or "blues" uniform. The color of the piping varies: solid blue for enlisted, blue and silver metallic braid for company-grade officers and field grade officers, and solid silver metallic for general officers. Officers wear large metal rank insignia affixed to the left front of the cap in a manner similar to that historically used by the Army with their garrison caps. No other accoutrements are worn. The flight cap is also worn by members of the Civil Air Patrol in a manner appropriate to their rank. The company-grade officer version is also worn by United States Air Force Academy and Air Force ROTC cadets as well as officer trainees at officer training school. Cadets in the Junior ROTC and Civil Air Patrol cadet programs wear the enlisted version of the flight cap.

Serbia/Yugoslavia
In Serbian, the side cap is known as šajkača and was introduced to Serbian soldiers in 1870. It was an integral part of the uniform of Serbian soldiers in the Serbian–Turkish Wars (1876–1878), the Serbo-Bulgarian War (1885) and the Liberation Wars (1912–1918). It was used as the official cap of soldiers in the Yugoslav Army and Gendarmerie in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During the German-Italian occupation of Yugoslavia in the Second World War it was worn by numerous armed formations. Two distinct side caps were prominent among Yugoslav Partisans: the titovka, based on the Soviet pilotka, and the triglavka, based on the side caps worn by Yugoslav volunteers in the Spanish Civil War and the wider Republican faction. After the war in the new Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the titovka became the official cap of the Yugoslav People's Army.

Since 2020 the Serbian Air Force and Air Defence has used the side cap as standard attire for its pilots.

Civil use
Officers and Instructors of the Australian Air Force Cadets are also entitled to wear a garrison cap with service dress uniform.

Royal Canadian Air Cadets wear wedge caps in Air Force blue as part of their uniform.

United States Civil Air Patrol personnel wear the US Air Force flight cap with distinctive CAP hat insignia. Senior members (ages 18 and above) will wear the company grade/field grade officer or general officer style flight cap, dependent on CAP rank, but will wear a small version of the service hat device in lieu of rank insignia in order to distinguish themselves from actual Air Force officers (e.g., those in the active duty regular Air Force, the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard). CAP Cadet officers will wear the Air Force enlisted flight cap with cadet rank insignia instead of the CAP insignia, while cadets who are not cadet officers will wear a generic insignia. This hat is the standard cover with most of the Air Force style uniforms.

Many uniformed civilian organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America (which no longer uses them) have used garrison caps.

Waiters at many old fashioned style diners also wear garrison caps.

The American Legion and many other veterans service organizations wear distinctive garrison caps.

Some commercial air-line employees, particularly flight attendants, wear garrison caps.

Chrotomys

The genus Chrotomys contain a unique group of rodents found only in the Philippines, specifically the islands of Luzon, Mindoro, and Sibuyan. Instead of being predominantly herbivorous or omnivorous like other murines, these rats feed predominantly on invertebrates although they do eat some vegetable matter. This vermivory is probably the result of a rat-like animal moving into an ecological niche usually filled by shrews. Shrews and other insectivores are absent on these Philippine islands.

Taxonomy
Rickart et al. (2005) found that C. mindorensis, C. whiteheadi, and C. gonzalesi are closely related whereas C. silaceus and C. sibuyanensis represent earlier offshoots of the genus. Several authors place C. silaceus in the genus Celaenomys, but Rickart et al. (2005) suggest that neither genetic nor morphometric distance warrant it.

These rats are considered "old endemics" and are probably the result of one of the first colonisations of the Philippine islands. Other murines colonised the islands at a later time and are more closely related to mainland murines.

La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One

La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One is the third studio album by American heavy metal band White Zombie, released on March 30, 1992, through Geffen Records. The album marked a major artistic and commercial turning point for the band. After the recruitment of guitarist Jay Noel Yuenger, White Zombie was able to successfully embrace the metal sound they had pursued since Make Them Die Slowly (1989), while incorporating groove-based elements into their sound as they evolved away from their roots in punk rock and noise rock. The album was the band's last to feature drummer Ivan de Prume.

The album was a critical and commercial success for White Zombie after the artistic failure of Make Them Die Slowly. La Sexorcisto became the band's first album to chart on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 26 in 1993. The singles "Thunder Kiss '65" and "Black Sunshine" received heavy rotation on rock radio and MTV, the former earning the band their first Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance. The album has been certified two times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the United States. It has since been regarded as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time.

Album information
The album's sound is primarily groove metal with multiple B-movie samples. Rob Zombie explained he "wanted to keep a groovable dance element in the music", a trait that he found was often absent in metal music of the era. Iggy Pop provided a spoken introduction to the single "Black Sunshine".

In a 2021 interview, Sean Yseult reflected that the band were influenced by rap music during this time, including Ice-T, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, and Public Enemy: "Rob was very intent on merging some of the rhythms and beats of what we were hearing into some of our songs, and it worked well."

Contrary to rumors, a "Devil Music Volume Two" was never planned for recording or release. Almost every song on the album made an appearance on the 1994 video game Way of the Warrior.

Release and promotion
La Sexorcisto was a commercial success for White Zombie, climbing up the charts in the US and gaining massive MTV video airplay and mainstream rock radio airplay with "Thunder Kiss '65" and "Black Sunshine". Although released in early 1992, La Sexorcisto did not enter the Billboard 200 until 1993, after the success of "Thunder Kiss '65", which reached number 26 on the Mainstream Rock chart. It was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA, and gold by the CRIA.

White Zombie toured for two years to promote La Sexorcisto. The tour was a critical success and some archived footage of the shows can be seen on the Let Sleeping Corpses Lie DVD. White Zombie began a five-month U.S. tour in April 1992, supporting such bands as My Sister's Machine, Paw, Testament, Pantera, Trouble and Crowbar. In the fall of 1992, the band opened for Danzig on their How the Gods Kill tour in Europe and the United States, and wrapped up the year doing a brief U.S. tour, again supporting Pantera. White Zombie spent most of 1993 and 1994 touring non-stop in support of La Sexorcisto. They toured with Monster Magnet in February and March 1993 and with Anthrax and Quicksand that summer. White Zombie embarked on two more U.S. tours: one with Chemlab and Nudeswirl in the fall of 1993, and another with Prong and The Obsessed in early 1994. The La Sexorcisto tour concluded in May 1994 with four Japanese shows, which were supported by Pantera.

Critical reception and legacy
Upon release, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One received generally favourable critical reviews. Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune called the album a "tuneless but entertaining free-for-all", praising its guitar and sampling arrangements. Similarly, Peter Atkinson of the Record-Journal described it as "Deliberately sloppy, as 'Psychoholic Slag', 'Cosmic Monsters Inc.' and 'Grindhouse (A Go-Go)' indicate, and delightful because of it." Don Kaye of Kerrang! praised the album's overall heaviness, describing the experience of listening to White Zombie as akin to "being trapped alive inside a blurry, scratchy, black and white print of that one horror movie that scared the living shit out of you when you were a kid. Check it out, and you'll begin to understand." Denise Stillie of Metal Forces opined that, in spite of a lack of standout tracks, "the overall power of the album is undeniable".

Retrospective reviews of the album have been widely positive. Jacob N. Lunders of AllMusic claimed that La Sexorcisto "Perhaps [co-defined] the future of heavy metal, [...] nearly [equalling] fellow classics Guns N' Roses's Appetite for Destruction, The Cult's Electric, and Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger in significance". John A. Riley of PopMatters described the album as both an "exemplary metal album" and, noting its heavy use of samples, "an exemplary postmodern collage on par with better regarded non-metal LPs such as Brian Eno and David Byrne's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1981) and the Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique (1989)". Chris Krovatin of Kerrang! argued that the album's success proved that, "Even as grunge and alt-rock introduced new levels of vulnerability and introspection to heavy music" in the 1990s, "people still wanted something powerful and fun [...] with La Sexercisto [White Zombie] provided all the druggy, creepy, high-octane heavy metal that fans craved, even if they were too focused on looking disillusioned and thoughtful to admit it." On the eve of the album's 30th anniversary in 2022, MetalSucks called La Sexorcisto “a monumental moment in metal history, an example of how weird, far-out, and fun metal could be at a time where it was shaking on its legs."

In 1995, Raw listed La Sexorcisto as one of the 90 essential albums of the 1990s. In 2002, the album was ranked at number 85 on Hit Parader list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 CDs". In 2004, it was voted as the 195th greatest heavy metal album of all time in Martin Popoff's book of The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time. In 2005, it placed at number 282 on Rock Hard list of "The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time". In 2016, Loudwire ranked La Sexorcisto at number 89 on its list of the "Top 90 Hard Rock + Metal Albums of the 90's". Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 93 on its list of the 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time in 2017; in 2023, the same magazine listed "Thunder Kiss '65" as the 84th greatest metal song of all time.
