Mindaugas Timinskas

Mindaugas Timinskas (born March 28, 1974) is a Lithuanian former professional basketball player and basketball coach. He represented the senior Lithuanian national basketball team.

College career
Born in Šilutė, Lithuanian SSR, Timinskas played NCAA Division I college basketball, in the United States, at Iona College, from 1993 to 1997.

Professional career
After college, Timinskas returned to Lithuania. Timinskas began his pro career in the 1997–98 season, after he signed with his home town team of Šilutė. At the time, the team was playing in the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL).

Timinskas left his main mark in his career, while playing with the Spanish Liga ACB club TAU Cerámica, during the EuroLeague 2000–01 Finals. During the finals, he had three double-digit scoring games, most notably with 18 points scored in Game 4, to force the series to a fifth and final contest. His rim-rocking dunk in that game, is still remembered as one of the greatest highlights of the EuroLeague's modern era (2001 to present).

Coaching career
Timinskas was named the head coach of the Cary Academy varsity basketball team, for the 2012–13 season, replacing Kenny Inge. He was let go following the 2015–16 season.

USS Case (DD-370)

USS Case (DD-370) was a Mahan-class destroyer in the United States Navy before and during World War II. She was the second ship named for Augustus Ludlow Case. Case was berthed at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese struck on 7 December 1941, then served in the United States Pacific Fleet until the end of World War II.

Construction and commissioning
Case was launched at the Boston Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, on 14 September 1935, sponsored by Miss. M. R. Case, and commissioned on 15 September 1936.

Service history
Case joined in fleet problems in the Hawaiian area, and in 1938, served as school ship at San Diego, California. From this, her home port, she carried midshipmen on an Alaskan cruise in summer 1939, and in April 1940 returned to Pearl Harbor to take part in a fleet problem which found her sailing to Midway, Johnston Island, and Palmyra Island. Between February and April 1941, she cruised to Samoa, Tahiti, and Auckland, New Zealand.

Pearl Harbor
Case was in a nest of destroyers at Pearl Harbor Navy Yard on 7 December 1941 during the attack on Pearl Harbor. From 7 December until 23 May 1942, Case escorted convoys passing between the United States West Coast and Pearl Harbor.

Patrols
From 31 May to 7 August 1942, Case patrolled and carried out the usual varied destroyer assignments off Kodiak, Alaska. On 7 August, she unleashed her guns in the pre-invasion bombardment of Kiska and on an enemy tanker with undetermined results. Case continued on patrol off Adak until mid-October, when she escorted shipping to Pearl Harbor, then proceeded to the States for overhaul.

Returning to Pearl Harbor in late November 1942, Case cleared to escort a convoy to the Fiji Islands, arriving 20 December. From Fiji she sailed to Guadalcanal to screen a convoy during its unloading period, and on 1 January 1943, arrived at Espiritu Santo, her base for escort, patrol, and training duty through 23 September. After overhaul at San Francisco, California, Case returned to Pearl Harbor in December.

For the next eight months, Case was almost constantly at sea, screening groups of the 3rd and 5th Fleets. From mid-January through mid-March 1944, these strikes were against Japanese bases in the Marshall Islands, supporting the invasion of these islands. Palau and the western Carolines were the targets 30 March-1 April, and Case next sailed from Majuro for the late-April air raids on Hollandia, Truk, Satawan, and Ponape. A month of local screening and escort duty at Majuro preceded Case's assignment to TG 58.4 for the strikes on Japanese airfields in the Bonins, designed to neutralize these bases during the invasion of the Marianas. With this group, she screened carriers in the historic Battle of the Philippine Sea on 19 and 20 June.

Repairs
After a repair period at Eniwetok, Case resumed her operations with TG 58.4, screening for air strikes preparing for the landings on Guam late in July 1944, and the attacks on the Bonins on 4 and 5 August. Through mid-September, Case served on inter-island escort duty in the Marianas. In September, she rendezvoused with two submarines carrying allied prisoners of war, many of them wounded, rescued after the sinking of a Japanese transport. Since rough seas prevented the submarines from transferring the wounded to Case, the destroyer put medical officers on board the submarines.

Case participated in the bombardment of Marcus Island on 9 October 1944 and then joined TG 38.1 for strikes on Luzon in conjunction with the invasion of Leyte from 18 to 23 October. She returned to Ulithi 29 October, putting to sea again 8 November for the bombardment of Iwo Jima on the night of 11/12 November.

Resuming escort duty from Ulithi, Case was screening cruisers bound for Saipan on 20 November, when she rammed and sank a Japanese midget submarine at the entrance to Mugai Channel. Immediately, she put back to Ulithi for an inspection of damage incurred in the encounter, but was back in action just two days later, bound for off shore patrol at Saipan until 6 December.

Iwo Jima
Case joined in a smashing bombardment of Iwo Jima once more on 24 December 1944, during which she and USS Roe (DD-418) were dispatched to attack a fleeing Japanese transport. A two-hour chase at full speed followed, both destroyers firing as the range closed. At 15:59, the effect of accurate gunfire told as the transport sank, her survivors refusing any assistance from the American destroyers. After repairs at Saipan, she returned to Iwo Jima 24 and 25 January 1945 for antisubmarine patrol during the opening phases of operations ashore. Escort and patrol duty from Saipan occupied her until 19 March, when she began an extended period of antisubmarine patrol, air-sea rescue, and radar picket duty between Saipan and Iwo Jima until the close of the war in August 1945.

At 13:50 on 31 March 1945, Case departed her air-sea rescue station to investigate a surface contact reported by a patrol aircraft at 29.33333°N, 136.51667°W. At 19:51, she sighted a submarine on the surface in the Philippine Sea 425 nmi southeast of Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japan at 29.23333°N, 137.3°W which did not respond to recognition signals. At 20:09, Case opened gunfire on the submarine at a range of 5,500 yd. She fired fifteen 5 in rounds, scoring no hits but straddling the submarine′s conning tower with her third salvo as it crash-dived. After the submarine submerged to a depth of 450 ft, Case exchanged recognition signals with it identifying it as friendly, and Case suspended her attack and headed for Iwo Jima at 20:29. The submarine, USS Spot (SS-413), suffered no damage or casualties.

Surrender of the Bonin Islands
On 2 September 1945, the Case sailed to Chichi Jima to accept and supervise the surrender of the Bonins Islands. On 19 September 1945, she took departure from Iwo Jima for Norfolk, Virginia, arriving 1 November 1945. Here, she was decommissioned 13 December 1945, and sold 31 December 1947.

Awards
Case received seven battle stars for World War II service.

Talk:The Warriors (video game)

Controversy section
I don't how you might want to work this in: "As reported by the Daily News, a Take-Two spokesman has commented that the company “has a valid third-party license for the rights to use Roger Hill's likeness and the character of Cyrus in The Warriors video game and related marketing materials”." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shamharush (talk • contribs) 14:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't feel that it's really important to remember what Jack Thompson says. I say the Controversy section should either be edited or removed. Nobody is going to care about what he said even six months from now. It's different when talking about GTA: San Andreas since the game rating was changed, but here it isn't going to happen since it isn't the blockbuster that GTA games are.

Singe —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.164.117.125 (talk) 20:37, 21 November 2005

If the controversy section is kept, we shouldn't include Jack Thompson's opinions on the game. It's one thing to include an organization's opinion, but Jack Thompson is nothing but a sensationalist and pathological liar.--Vercalos 01:59, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

All the more reason it should be kept. In a year or so, after his entire "reputation" has gone down the drain and he kills himself, people are going to be looking back at all the silly things he said, for a good laugh to share with their family and friends.--69.37.44.228 19:51, 16 December 2005 (UTC) i enjoy reading thompsons quotes because it amuses me greatly him saying bully let you rape teachers and kill students,priceless how has south park,family guy,or the daily show not picked on him yet? About Cleon's death, there should be a note put in brackets that show that in the game it is never proven that he is killed but just shows him being attacked. He could have been knocked out and captured by the Riffs.--Phytos 01:57:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

If you play through the mini game, Cleon comes back as a ghost. That's why he and Fox are considered dead. - JC234 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JC234 (talk • contribs). so what the mini game also shows chatter box alive and fox is obviously dead cleon was probably caught by the cops but he probably is dead.63.164.225.201 01:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)medayugiohman

Soundtrack
Can anyone name the songs played during this game??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.16.151.116 (talk) 01:55, 8 September 2006

Game Score
Does anyone know the names of the scores that play during the game as well as the loading sequences? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RVDDP2501 (talk • contribs).

Add more to Reception section
All it says is that one of the original actors in the movie liked the game. Either there should be a list of how different gaming publications and sites rated it or the whole section should be removed since it seems unnecessary. Since the statement that one of the original actors liked the game does not have a citation, I think the section should be removed. I would have done it myself, but I don't want to anger anyone. What do you think should happen? --Ultimo Camdawg 00:06, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Level by level summaries
Who put all the summaries in those boxes? It's ugly and annoying. Gladrius 06:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Flashback Missions
where is the flashback synopsis within the PLOT SUMMARY?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.153.33.255 (talk) 12:39, 3 February 2007

should be noted
if you look closely in the background of the manual you can see the eliminaters symbol

Rivalries
Who got information on the rivalry between The Panzers and The Baseball Furies, the rivalry between The Hi-Hats and The Electric Eliminators, and the rivalry between The Destroyers and The Satan's Mothers? I would like to know. The King Gemini (talk) 14:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know about the Panzers and the Baseball Furies, but the Electric Eliminators are one of the gangs lured to the competition, so it's like that they have problems with the Hi-hats. I imagine the rivalry is presumed between The Destroyers and The Satan's Mothers because of the drug deal, but a line of dialog in the game says that the Mothers still do deals with the Destroyers despite that mission.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 16:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Problems with tone
This article needs a major rewrite to comply with the standards of wikipedia. I already spruced up the character profiles, but there's a lot of work left to be done.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 16:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Gangs
I made modifications to the gangs section. First, I replaced all instances of "Overlord" with "Warlord" as that's the term used in the game. For Warchief, I got the impression that a warchief was second in command, and any member who's particularly tough is labled a lieutenant. Since there are only three confirmed second-in-commands in the game, I created a new entry for lieutenants and placed most of the former warchiefs there.

The problem with ranking characters is that many high-ups aren't specifically said to be leaders, warchiefs or whatever. It's easy to assume that the biggest member is automatically in charge, but different gangs would have different standards, and we already have an in-game example where the biggest member wasn't a leader in regards to the Satan's Mothers. Throughout the game, Diego/Vargas and Big Moe are mentioned several times, but they are never referred to as the leaders of their gangs, even though most leaders are identified right off the bat. Because of these issues, for each character who isn't specifically said to hold a certain position in the gang, I labled them "presumed". Finally, I removed assumed rivalries and put in another one, between the Savage Huns and Satan's Mothers. IIRC, this is only mentioned in additional lines of dialog that you can only hear if you listen to the radio and NPC chatter long enough.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 16:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Comparison of Game and Movie
This needs to be expanded to include comparison to Xenophon's Anabasis, and the original novel The Warriors (novel). I'll try to tackle this over the next few days.--Digitalmischief (talk) 07:16, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Dont bother, someone removed it. Portillo (talk) 07:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Birdie "Leader" of the Turnbull AC's ?
Far as I know, he was mentioned as being a "liutenant". --201.230.126.164 (talk) 22:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Jodhpuri

A Jodhpuri suit or Bandhgala (lit. closed neck) suit, is a formal suit from India. It originated in the Jodhpur State, and was popularized during mid 19th - mid 20th century in India. It consists of a coat and trousers, sometimes accompanied by a vest. It brings together a shorter cut with hand-embroidery escorted by the waistcoat. It is suitable for occasions such as weddings and formal gatherings.

The material can be silk or any other suiting material. Normally, the material is lined at the collar and at the buttons with embroidery. This can be plain, jacquard or jamewari material. Normally, the trousers match that of the coat. There is also a trend to wear contrasting trousers to match the coat colour.

History
Angarkha is considered the predecessor of the Bandhgala. An angrakha was a traditional court outfit in ancient and classical India that a person could wrap comfortably around himself, offering flexible ease with the knots and ties. Bandhgala emerged as a shortened version of the Achkan. Bandhgala quickly became a popular formal and semi-formal uniform across Rajasthan and eventually throughout India. Designer Wendell Rodricks observes that formal wear such as the Bandhgala are evolutions of a costume legacy that is 6,000 years old. Although, unlike the indigenous european style men's skirts, eastern style pants are worn with it.

Sheigetz

Sheigetz or shegetz (שייגעץ or in Hebrew שֵׁיְגֶּץ; alternative Romanizations incl. shaygetz, shaigetz, sheygets) with the alternative form shkotz (plural: sheygetses and shkotzim, respectively ) is a Yiddish word that has entered English to refer to a repulsive or low-class non-Jewish boy or young man. It may also be used by an observant Jew when referring to a non-observant Jewish man. It is mostly used disparagingly, although it can also be used in appreciation by semantic reversal, similar to "rascal" becoming positive when used affectionately in regard to a teenager. It is sometimes used to describe a specifically disgusting non-Jew, vs. a decent non-Jew.

Etymology
The word shegetz, like its feminine counterpart shiksa, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is derived from sheqeṣ ("a detested thing").

Alternative forms
In former times, it was common practice for Ashkenazi Jews who were harassed by youths to label their tormentors shkotzim. Nacham Grossbard of Haifa, writing in the Memorial Book for the Community of Ciechanów (1962), recounted these memories of his early years in Poland: "At the finish of the match, as soon as the whistle blows, we Jewish boys run as fast as we can, out of breath, all the way home in order not to have stones thrown at us or be hit by the shkotzim (non-Jewish boys)."

The form shkotz was apparently less used in Europe, leading Philologos (Hillel Halkin) to write that it's a back-formation that only occurred in America.

 * DeleteI don't know anything about "linkspamming" as criteria for deletion. If this was truly a notable place, fixing the links would be easy.  Regarding the number of google hits mentioned by dylan, many of those are for Shocco Springs, Alabama (the town, not the baptist conference center).  As for notability, this looks to be the most notable event that I could find on my brief stroll through the links.

Janet Weiss

Janet Lee Weiss (born September 24, 1965) is an American rock drummer, a member of Quasi and former member of Sleater-Kinney. She was the drummer for Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, leaving after the album Mirror Traffic, and contributed to the Shins' fourth studio album, Port of Morrow (2012). She was also the drummer for the supergroup Wild Flag.

Weiss is highly regarded as a drummer; Stylus Magazine listed her in 2007 as number 48 of rock's 50 greatest drummers, while in 2014 LA Weekly placed her at number 12 in the top 20. In 2016, Rolling Stone placed her at number 90 on its list of the 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time, and in 2018, New Musical Express ranked her as number 25 of the top 32 rock drummers.

Early life
Weiss was born in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California to a Jewish family, and began playing guitar at the age of 16. According to her interviews, her two elder sisters introduced her "to good music". She left Hollywood aged 17. She attended San Francisco State University and graduated with a degree in photography.

The Furies
While in college in San Francisco, Weiss became involved in the local club scene, following local bands such as Camper Van Beethoven and the Donner Party, and absorbing their punky/DIY ethos. When she was 22, Weiss was invited to learn the drums to join an all-girl trio called the Furies as their replacement drummer for a West Coast tour. The Furies' guitarist found Weiss a drum kit at a local pawn shop, and with one drum lesson and about two weeks practice under her belt, she became the Furies' second drummer. Self-taught as a drummer, Weiss learned her technique by watching the drummers at innumerable live shows, and by studying rock and punk greats like John Bonham and Topper Headon. She moved to Portland, Oregon in 1989 and soon after began playing with former Donner Party leader, Sam Coomes, in a band called Motorgoat. (Motorgoat disbanded and reformed as Quasi in 1993; Coomes is Weiss's ex-husband.)

Sleater-Kinney
Weiss started playing with Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein in Sleater-Kinney in 1996, after seeing them play a show. Tucker and Brownstein then played her a new song they were working on at the time, "Dig Me Out". Her bandmates later said that she made up a beat so solid "you could practically bang your head against it." Weiss eventually became the band's drummer; she was the fourth in the band's history. Brownstein has described Weiss as "one of the most musically intelligent people I know" and "certainly the most musically gifted member of the band, the one with the largest musical lexicon and sphere from which to draw influence and reference."

On July 1, 2019, Sleater-Kinney announced via social media that Weiss would be leaving the group and would not be joining their upcoming fall tour. Weiss said that the band was taking a "new direction" and that it was time for her to exit.

Quasi
Weiss and Sam Coomes formed Quasi in 1993, and the band has remained active both as a duo and a trio, featuring Joanna Bolme from 2007 to 2011, for the past 30+ years.

The Jicks
Upon the dissolution of Sleater-Kinney in 2006, Weiss joined Quasi bandmate Joanna Bolme in Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks. She performed on two albums, Real Emotional Trash (2008) and Mirror Traffic (2011). She left the band prior to its tour in support of the latter album.

Wild Flag
Beginning in September 2010, she drummed in Wild Flag, with Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney), Mary Timony (Helium), and Rebecca Cole (the Minders). By December 2013, Wild Flag had disbanded.

Other work
She has also played for Bright Eyes, Junior High, the Shadow Mortons, the Go Betweens, Sarah Dougher, Elliott Smith, and one Goldcard song. She is in the band Slang, with her partner Drew Grow (formerly of Modern Kin, Careen, Drew Grow and the Pastors' Wives, and Five O'Clock People).

On June 4, 2007, she performed with Bright Eyes on the Late Show with David Letterman before joining the band for their summer European tour.

Portlandia
Weiss was part of the production team on the TV show, Portlandia, working as the permit manager; bandmate Carrie Brownstein was one of the show's creators and lead actors.

Equipment
Weiss plays a vintage Ludwig kit (ca. 1973) in natural maple finish. Specs. as follows:

 * 6.5x14" Craviotto Snare
 * 9x13 rack tom
 * 16x16 floor tom

Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station

The Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station is a decommissioned nuclear power plant built by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) in Herald, California.

History
In 1966, SMUD purchased 2100 acre in southeast Sacramento County for a nuclear power plant, which was built in Herald, 25 mi south-east of downtown Sacramento.

In the early 1970s, a small pond was expanded to a 160 acre lake to serve as an emergency backup water supply for the station. The lake has always received its water from the Folsom South Canal and has no relationship with the power plant's daily water supply. Surrounding the lake is 400 acre of recreational area originally operated by the County of Sacramento for day-use activities.

The 2,772 MWt Babcock & Wilcox pressurized water reactor (913 MWe) achieved initial criticality on September 16, 1974, and entered commercial operation on April 17, 1975.

On March 20, 1978, a power supply failure for the plant's non-nuclear instrumentation system led to steam generator dryout (ref NRC LER 312/78-001). This triggered an automatic reactor shutdown. In a 2005 document, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission indicated that it was the third most serious safety-related occurrence in the United States as of 2005 (behind the Three Mile Island accident and the Browns Ferry cable tray fire). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff concluded that fundamental design flaws which were known by plant operators and the NRC itself were at the heart of the problem and should have been fixed years before. “In summary, the information was available and known which could have prevented this overcooling transient; but in the absence of adequate plant modifications, the incident should have been expected,” the staff wrote.

The plant operated from April 1975 to June 1989, with a lifetime capacity factor of less than 40%; it was closed by public vote in June 1989 (53% to 47%) after half of its intended lifetime primarily for economic reasons: ratepayers had seen their rates doubled in the last four years to pay for improvements to the plant, and electricity from natural gas was priced at half that of the electricity generated by Rancho Seco. (2.3 cents / kWh, vs. 5.4 cents / kWh)

All power-generating equipment has been removed from the plant, and the 425 foot cooling towers remain a prominent part of the local landscape as the tallest buildings in the Central Valley. Also scattered throughout the area around the plant are abandoned civil defense sirens that at one time would have warned people of a radioactivity release from the station. Additions to SMUD's Rancho Seco property have included an 11 MW solar installation and, in 2006, the 600 MW natural gas-fired Cosumnes Power Plant.

On October 23, 2009, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission released the majority of the site for unrestricted public use, while approximately 11 acre of land including a storage building for low-level radioactive waste and a dry-cask spent fuel storage facility remain under NRC licenses.

According to a study published in the journal Biomedicine International, the statistically significant drop in cancer rates observed in Sacramento County between 1988 and 2009 (plant closed in 1989) might be partially attributable to the closure of the Rancho Seco plant, and the resultant decline in nuclear emissions. The result has been questioned by radiation expert and health physicist Robert Emery, who suggested it being the result of the sharpshooter fallacy and highlighted the author Joseph Mangano's history of exaggerated claims about radiological risks.

The plant cost $375 million when it was built in 1974 ($ in dollars) and it cost about $120 million in 1974 dollars to decommission ($ in  dollars), according to the SMUD Rancho Seco Nuclear Education Center.

Ollie's correct and legal name and place of birth
Ollie's legal name is: Ollie Jngbert Christian Olsen. It was legally changed in about 1990. Any edits people have made in the past to this page in regards to Ollie's name, will have been because they know this to be factual. Ollie released Whirlywirld material under the name: "Ian" but obviously Ollie has since changed their name. Most material released by Olsen is under the name: Ollie Olsen. Ollie was born in Melbourne, Australia not Norway. Ollie had a parent of Norwegian descent, since deceased.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaynebeatrix (talk • contribs) 23:37, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The 2nd Edn of Ian McFarlane's encyclopaedia confirms the usage of Ian "Ollie" Olsen. It updates information about his year of birth, place of birth and descent. It is now included in the article. A ref from Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA) gives his full name as Olsen, Ollie Jngbert Christian and this is returned to the article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 23:01, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Birth name and year of birth
could you explain why the subject's birth name has been removed from the Lead and birth year from the infobox. I don't see any problem at WP:DOB (only birth year is used here, not the full date) and I see no problem at WP:BLP. His name, at about 1989, is seen in numerous on-line sites, which give song writing credits for his work for Max Q and other earlier bands. As indicated above, his birth year is in the 2nd edn of McFarlane's encyclopaedia, a page no. is cited in the wp article. McFarlane refers to him as Ian "Ollie" Olsen.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Then you should add it back and cite it using a non-primary source. I didn't see 1958 mentioned in any of the sources supporting that sentence. Toddst1 (talk) 16:35, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * As indicated above, 1958, is in McFarlane's 2nd Edn (not the online version), where he corrects the lead-in sentence of his 1st Edn entry (the online one). It is currently part of ref [1]. This difference between the two editions is already mentioned in a note in the article. McFarlane is a non-primary source. I will now fix the article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 20:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This is without a doubt, the definition of a WP:BLPPRIMARY. (currently ref 2).  I don't understand why you added the year of birth back without citing it. It's been removed again.  Please don't add it back without citing it.  Toddst1 (talk) 22:42, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * What about ref [1], which I expanded in October 2020, here. Once again, McFarlane's 2nd Edn (2017) is a reliable secondary source and was updated from the on-line (1999) version. Specifically he changed the lead-in sentence from, "Norwegian-born, Melbourne-bred musician Ian 'Ollie' Olsen is recognised as one of the key figures in the Australian post-punk electronic movement of the late 1970s." to "Norwegian-descended Melbourne-born musician, Ian 'Ollie' Olsen (b. 1958)  is recognised as one of the key figures in the Australian post-punk electronic movement of the late 1970s." McFarlane states that Olsen was born in Melbourne in 1958: how is this a WP:BLPPRIMARY?
 * When an otherwise reliable source (McFarlane) is incorrect this is commonly pointed out in a comment/note on that source. I did this by appending such a note to the McFarlane ref [1].
 * As for source [2], I did add it, incorrectly, later that same day. That source and related content was correctly removed by you, also on the same day, here. You later removed the DOB and other tainted content. However, a bot returned source [2] about half an hour after your last edit on that day, see here. I did not return ref [2].01:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I indicated above that I was using McFarlane's 2nd edn to verify his birth year of 1958. Ref [2] is not needed for his birth year. I returned his birth year based on McFarlane, which is a direct secondary source, albeit it is not online. Returning his birth year is not vandalism nor unconstructive editing. Please withdraw your allegation "Caution: Unconstructive editing on Ollie Olsen" from my talkpage or take the matter up with AN1 or other processes if you feel the need to do so. Please return birth year (and other content) recently reverted, here.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:21, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It is still not sourced.  We source things to WP:VERIFY facts.  If I came upon that article, there is no attribution in the article for the year of birth.
 * Second, if you add [1] as the source and anyone tries to verify that fact, they would be directed to the 1st edition which does not support the year of birth being 1958, so it would be tagged.
 * Could you please fix it so that it has a viable source or revert your edit? Putting the info on the talk page is not sufficient. Toddst1 (talk) 20:23, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I have trimmed the McFarlane ref, i.e. ref [1], to just the 2nd Edn. It verifies his descent, birth place and birth year.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 20:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Mark Bernes

Mark Naumovich Bernes (Ма́рк Нау́мович Берне́с) (8 October 1911, – 16 August 1969) was a Soviet film actor and a Russian chansonnier. He is widely regarded as among the most popular artists of the Soviet stage in the 1950s-1960s, and performed a number of poignant songs about World War II, including "Dark Is the Night" (Тёмная ночь, "Tyomnaya noch"; 1943) and "Cranes" (Журавли, "Zhuravli"; 1969). He is also credited with playing a primary role in the formation of the golden fund of Soviet song classics.

Life and work
In the late 1930s, not long before the war, Mark Bernes starred in two motion pictures: Man With a Rifle and The Fighter Planes. In both of these films, he performed songs which immediately became famous all over the Soviet Union after each film was released. In the former film, he performed the song "Clouds Rose over the City," which was a romantic song of a simple young Soviet worker. In the later film, he performed a famous patriotic ballad "Beloved Town". This pre-war song was full of hope and optimism, and several years later, encouraged soldiers during the war.

When the war began, Bernes became among the first singers to perform for the Soviet troops. In 1943, he starred in the motion picture Two Fighters. He played a young soldier from Odesa named Arkady Dzubin. In that film, Bernes demonstrated Jewish wit and humor characteristic of Jews from Odessa. In that film, he sang two masterpiece songs: "Dark Is the Night" (Тёмная ночь, "Tyomnaya noch") and "Scows Full of Mullet" (Шаланды полные кефали, "Shalandy polnye kefali"). The second song is the humorous account of Kostya the sailor from Odessa who ironically spoke to his fiancee Sonya, the fishing girl. The first song, "Dark Is the Night" was a serious ballad about a wife with a baby waiting for a soldier in the midst of a deadly fight. The song was sung by Bernes from the point of view of that soldier, who addressed his wife at home and assured her that he will live through all the deadly battles as long as she waits for him. "Dark Is the Night" is the most recognizable Soviet song from World War II.

Bernes's name had become closely associated with World War II. After the war, he continued to perform songs about the war. His greatest hits of the 1950s were "Muscovites" (also known as "Seryozhka from Malaya Bronnaya Street") and "Enemies Burned the Native Hut Down". Both songs were about hardships suffered by people who lost family members in the war, and expressed extreme melancholy, directly confronting death and grief. The latter song was banned by the government because it was considered purportedly as too pessimistic. In the song, the soldier from front-line dugout bespeaks to his distant wife and his child at the cot, with sad and melancholy, but with hope for future meeting too.

In the 1950s, Mark Bernes also performed torch songs such as the sentimental ballad I Dreamed of You Three Years, and inspirational optimistic songs such as the march "I Love You, My Life".

In 1969, Mark Bernes was dying from lung cancer. In the summer of 1969, he recorded his last song "Cranes" (Журавли́, "Zhuravli"), which became his swan song. Bernes sang that the soldiers that perished in war turned into cranes, that the cranes are still flying, and, that he will join their ranks. On 16 August, Mark Bernes died. "Cranes" was played at his funeral.

Popular songs

 * "Cranes" (Журавли, "Zhuravli"; 1969)
 * "Dark Night" (Тёмная ночь, "Tyomnaya noch"; 1943
 * "Scows full of mullet" (Шаланды, полные кефали, "Shalandy polnyie kefali")
 * "What does the motherland begin with?" (С чего начинается Родина, "S Chego Nachinayetsya Rodina")
 * "I love you, Life" (Я люблю тебя, жизнь, "Ya lyublyu tebya, zhizn")
 * "Do the Russians Want War?" (Хотят ли русские войны, "Khotyat Li Russkie Voyny")
 * "Dark mounds are sleeping" (Спят курганы тёмные, "Spyat Kurgany Tyomnyie")
 * "When a distant friend sings" (Когда поёт далёкий друг, "Kogda poyot daliokiy drug")
 * "Enemies burnt the native hut down" (Враги сожгли родную хату, "Vragi sozhgli rodnuyu khatu")
 * "Vast Sky" (Огромное небо, "Ogromnoe nebo")

Honors
Bernes received People's Actor of the RSFSR (1965), was awarded the Stalin Prize (1951), Order of the Red Star, Order of the Badge of Honour, Medal "For Valiant Labour in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945" and few other medals. in 1993, Bernes received a star in his honour on the Star Square in Moscow.

A minor planet 3038 Bernes discovered by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Stepanovich Chernykh in 1978 is named after him.

Typhoon Herb

Typhoon Herb, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Huaning, was the strongest and the largest storm of 1996. Herb struck the Ryūkyū Islands, Taiwan and the People's Republic of China, causing major damage. The name Herb was used in the Western Pacific name list for the first time after the list had been revised earlier in 1996. Although the name was not retired, the Western Pacific name list was changed from English names to Asian names in 2000, so 1996 was in fact the only occasion when the name was used (it was never used in the Atlantic Ocean or the Eastern Pacific.)

Meteorological history
The active monsoon trough that spawned Typhoons Frankie (08W) and Gloria (09W) consolidated into a third area well east of the other two to develop Tropical Depression 10W near Saipan on July 23. It moved northward at first, then westward in response to the subtropical ridge to its north. Tropical Depression 10W intensified into a tropical storm and was named Herb on July 24. Tropical Storm Herb moved west, growing in size and strengthening to typhoon status on July 25 before rapidly intensifying into a Category 4 48 hours later. Herb slightly weakened while it underwent a Fujiwhara interaction with Typhoon Gloria. Shortly afterward Herb began to intensify again, and became a Category 5 super typhoon on July 30, reaching its peak intensity with a barometric pressure of 925 hPa and 10-minute sustained winds of 175 km/h. Herb also became the largest typhoon in July and one of the largest typhoons since 1977.

Herb made its first landfall on the island of Taketomi, in the Ryūkyū Islands, before its second landfall in northern Taiwan as a Category 4 on July 31. The eye of the storm passed directly over the capital, Taipei. Herb weakened as it crossed Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait, to make landfall in China as a strong Category 2. Herb rapidly weakened over the country and dissipated on August 3.

Ryūkyū Islands
Prior to the typhoon's arrival in the southern Ryūkyū Islands, officials issued storm warnings for most islands and canceled 76 flights. On July 31, the eye of Typhoon Herb passed roughly 16 to 20 km southwest of Iriomote Island. On the island, a barometric pressure of 927.1 mbar (hPa; 27.38 inHg) was measured. On Yonaguni, a maximum wind gust of 244 km/h was also measured. Widespread damage took place across the southern Ryūkyū Islands, with losses reaching ¥667 million (US$6.2 million). On Ishigaki Island, one home was destroyed and eighteen others were damaged. Extensive losses to agriculture, fisheries, and forestry took place across the region as well. Losses on Ishigaki alone reached ¥630 million (US$5.9 million). In Okinawa, large swells up to 4 m flooded low-lying areas, leaving minor damage.

Taiwan
In Taiwan, heavy rain from Herb caused flooding and major damage. In Taiwan, at least 51 people were killed and 22 went missing. Herb is the fourth wettest known tropical cyclone to impact the country.

Mainland China
In China, the code name of the typhoon was "9608", and over 13,000 people were injured or killed, including 779 deaths. Total damage to agriculture and property totaled US$5 billion (1996 dollars).

Wikipedia
I perceive Wikipedia as having the potential to provide credible information. Unfortunately, there are too many articles on this vast site that contain a substantial amount of inaccuracies. Thus, I would not encourage elementary and secondary students to use Wikipedia as a research tool on the basis that they might come across invalid information. Therefore, I purpose the following:

 * All users wishing to contribute to Wikipedia by editing and creating articles should complete an application that screens their credentials, and create an individualized account.

 * Users must write a proposal, abstract, and annotative bibliography that must be approved by a certain number fellow members, and an administrator before creating a new article.

Feel free to post any comments concerning this matter in my discussion page. However, kindly sign your posts so I can respond, if necessary.

Society
I strongly believe that children are conditioned to become the type of people they are today. Think of a child’s mind as if it were a large computer hard drive complete with a pre-installed basic operating system. The operating system contains the basic components necessary to for children to acquire essential motor skills. Otherwise, the child’s memory is open to a vast amount of information that is recorded throughout his or her lifespan, specifically childhood. However, digital files that can easily be deleted from a computer hard drive, unlike humans who permanently store information somewhere in their brains. Humans merely forget memories, displacing them somewhere in their minds, making it difficult for easy recollection. It is somewhat similar to hard drives that are presently becoming much larger in capacity, therefore it easy for someone to misplace an important text file in a folder and forget its location. Thus, that is why a file search component is readily available in computer operating systems such as Windows XP or Mac OS X. We can search through our memories by simply making ourselves comfortable and meditate. Therefore, it is important to protect the images children are exposed to at an early age.

Have you turned on the television lately? If so, chances are high that you were exposed to various forms of sex and violence. Just tune into one of the MTV networks and you might see Daddy Yankee’s music video titled “Gasolina” (Spanish meaning gasoline). This music video features scantly dressed women dancing provocatively, whilst providing the chorus lyrics “dame más gasoline,” which translates to “give more gasoline” or “you give me more gasoline.” Adolescent boys exposed to such music videos develop the concept that women are merely sexy objects, while adolescent girls longing to “feel sexy and like attention” will reduce themselves to demeaning roles. You know things have gone really bad if you see first grade girls at inner-city schools dancing like the women in music videos.

The Collapse of the United States?
Many historians argue the Roman Empire’s collapse is not solely owed to external forces, such as Germanic “barbarian” tribes. Rather, Rome’s downfall as the world’s ancient superpower is owed to decay from within. Such decay is attributed to the corruption and debauchery of various consuls, emperors, and the Roman Senate. Many leaders prioritized personal wealth over the people of Rome. Consequently, Rome’s infrastructure began to crumble whilst the empire’s domain progressively diminished to the point of non-existence.

I am highly confident the brief synopsis of Rome’s downfall sounds somewhat familiar with regards to current affairs. For instance, the United States is apparently losing credibility and leadership in the eyes of the international community due to the highly confrontational foreign policy of a particular President. His administrative colleagues appear exceptionally dubious, citing the Vice President’s subtle affiliation with Halliburton. This raises one question, is the current presidential administration working in the best interest of the American people, or the wealthy conglomerates? I can safely assume the latter judging from the outcome of November 2006’s midterm elections, and recent approval ratings.

Interestingly, it appears the conglomerates in question are more concerned with Iraqi infrastructure rather than that of America’s. Nevertheless, there is no legitimate reason why any bridge should collapse on American soil. There is no legitimate explanation to the administration’s lack of attention after a hurricane nearly eliminated an American city from the face of the Earth. Unfortunately, the apathy of our elected leaders may result in one consequence… the collapse of the United States of America.

RE: To Catch a Predator
It appears Perverted Justice and NBC's "To Catch a Predator" are making a valuable contribution to our society by helping our respective law enforcement agencies find justice for those who would do harm to children. Unfortunately, this may not be the case at all. Let’s say someone is convicted of soliciting sex with minor (or something along those lines). This is in addition to having their lives ruined on national television, which usually culminates to termination of employment and destruction of the family unit. The pervert serves time in a penitentiary for a certain period of time and even receives psychological treatment if funding permits. Hypothetically, the ex-convict is reformed and ready to rejoin our society. Yet, the person who poses no harm to others is permanently branded a “sex offender” on criminal background checks, and required to live a certain distance from where children are likely to congregate. The ex-con will not even be able to acquire a janitor’s job at a McDonald’s restaurant because the company probably fears a potential liability in the event of an “incident” in the playpen. Some sensationalists might say this is the price one pays for soliciting sex with minors, but true intellectuals will beg to differ. Thus, our penal system is merely a factory for converting non-violent sex-offenders to violent felons. People will do just about anything to keep themselves warm and sheltered whilst putting food in their stomachs. They will likely resort to violent crimes if they are unable to do so.

Abortion
This is actually an easier issue to resolve than most people think. Many politicians use it as a "weapon of mass distraction" to avoid being held accountable for more significant issues. The fact of the matter is many wedded couples are unable to have their own biologic children due to medical reasons, so why not adoption?

The relevance of this term is the difference of this style from Angevine Gothic = Plantagenet Style, which is etymologically the same. But both styles have nothing in common but that both are variants of Gothic style.

Therefore, both styles must be presented in different articles, in order to prevent confusion.

But User:Onel5969 or somebody else has considered this article irrelevant.

And User:Onel5969 has withdrawn it from the public, without contacting me before.--Ulamm (talk) 02:05, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

De Saisset Museum

The de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University opened in 1955, after Isabel de Saisset, the last member of a California pioneer family bequeathed her estate to the University of Santa Clara. The museum owns nearly 10,000 art pieces and historical artifacts, including the work of early Californian artist and university alumnus Ernest de Saisset and a considerable collection of California mission artifacts. The de Saisset recently completed a major renovation of its storage facilities and is open to the public free of charge.

About the museum
The 19210 sqft building is located in front of Mission Santa Clara de Asís and has been a part of the university campus since 1955. It is one of only two museums in the San Jose area accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

The museum is housed in a three level building that conforms with the Mission Style prevalent on the Santa Clara campus and bears the de Saisset family crest above the foyer door. The ground floor holds a foyer, several rooms for visiting exhibits, and a large lecture hall for presentations and activities. The upstairs includes room for exhibits from the permanent collection and a bathroom, and the basement displays historical artifacts, artwork from the permanent collection, and houses viewing drawers for many of the European prints.

de Saisset family
Pedro de Alcântara Brasileiro de Saisset was born in Paris, France, the illegitimate son of Pedro I & IV, King of Portugal and Emperor of Brazil, and his mistress Henrietta Josephine Mees Saisset. He emigrated from France near the time of the gold rush intending to capitalize on the newfound wealth in the region. While in the area, he served as a consular representative in San Jose and founded the Brush Electric Light company in San Jose, California. While in San Jose, de Saisset married with Maria de Jesus (Jesusita) Palomares (1832–1907) and had four children together: Henrietta, Ernest, Pierre, and Isabel.

Of these children, Henrietta was the only one to marry, and none of the siblings had any children of their own. Ernest was the oldest of the children and began his education at Santa Clara College when he was sixteen. He continued as a student for three years, showing potential in French and drawing. During the final year of his studies, Ernest studied painting with Fr. Bartholomew Tortone, who approved of his work. Since art instructors were in short supply in pioneer California, the de Saisset family sent Ernest to Paris for further study in art at Académie Julian. In 1895, he returned to California; however, he died four years later in 1899.

Museum history
Before her death in 1950, Isabel de Saisset informed the president and governing board of the University of Santa Clara of her wish to donate family real estate and the family art collection for the purpose of constructing a gallery and museum. Many of her personal items—jewels, silver, and tapestries—were also donated. Since that time, the museum has expanded its collections to include many objects from the United States and abroad.

The museum was opened in 1955.

"Highlights of the de Saisset’s permanent collection include Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and 19th century prints by artists such as Albrecht Dürer, William Hogarth, and Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Modernist prints in the de Saisset Collection include works by Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso." The museum also houses important collections of contemporary prints and photographs.

Costa Rican Civil War

The Costa Rican Civil War took place from 12 March to 24 April 1948 (44 days). The conflict began after the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica, dominated by pro-government representatives, voted on 1 March 1948 to annul the results of the presidential elections of 8 February, alleging that the triumph of opposition candidate Otilio Ulate over the ruling party's Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia had been achieved by fraud. This triggered an armed uprising led by José Figueres Ferrer, a businessman who had not participated in the elections, against the government of President Teodoro Picado.

The Costa Rican army was small and ill-equipped, and the uprising was most heavily resisted by the militias of the Communist People's Vanguard Party, which was part of the governing coalition in the Legislative Assembly and had voted to annul the presidential elections. Figueres' rebels rapidly defeated the government forces and their Communist allies, forcing President Picado to step down and leave the country along with former president Calderón Guardia.

After the war, Figueres toppled the army and ruled the country for 18 months as head of a provisional government junta, which oversaw the election of a Constitutional Assembly in December. That Assembly adopted the new 1949 constitution, after which the junta was dissolved and power was handed to Ulate as the new constitutional president. During the war, about 2,000 people are believed to have died, making it the bloodiest event in 20th-century Costa Rican history. Since the end of the conflict in 1949, Costa Rica has experienced some riots, but no political violence even remotely approaching the civil war in severity.

Background
In the 1940s, the Costa Rican political scene came to be dominated by Rafael Ángel Calderón, a medical doctor who served as President of Costa Rica from 1940 to 1944. The Constitution forbade consecutive reelection, so for the 1944 elections, Calderón's National Republican Party nominated Teodoro Picado, a law professor who was perceived as a weak figure controlled by Calderón.

The Picado administration resorted several times to military force to keep the peace, and pro-Calderón elements within the military institution often become involved in street violence, which helped to sully the image of the military in the minds of the people. The Costa Rican communist movement, organized in the Popular Vanguard Party led by congressman Manuel Mora, was allied to Picado's government and contributed to the unrest by deploying its militia against the opposition. As the violence grew, supporters of the opposition began to carry guns, and the police began to threaten the use of firearms rather than just beating demonstrators.

Disgust with the government's violent reprisals against the opposition led to the Huelga de Brazos Caídos, a strike that stalled commerce in Costa Rica for seven days. Pro-Calderón and communist demonstrators began to sack businesses that participated in the strike; Picado's government intimidated participating merchants and professionals and threatened workers with dismissal and military service. By the end of the strike, police and military forces patrolled the streets, and San José appeared as if under siege.

Calderón returned as the ruling party's candidate for the election of 1948 and there were widespread fears that the government would intervene to ensure his triumph against his main opponent, journalist Otilio Ulate. To assuage these fears, Picado's government for the first time in Costa Rican history placed the election under the control of an independent electoral tribunal.

Figueres and the Caribbean Legion
José Figueres, a Costa Rican businessman, had been forced into exile in Mexico on April 12, 1942, after he strongly criticized the Calderón regime during a radio broadcast. Figueres returned to Costa Rica after the election of Picado. Before the elections of 1948, Figueres had already been planning for a war. Unlike Ulate, former president León Cortés, and the other members of the Costa Rican opposition, Figueres believed that Calderón would never allow a fair election to take place.

Figueres began training the Caribbean Legion, an irregular force of 700. Hoping to use Costa Rica as a base, the Legion planned to move against other authoritarian governments in Middle America. U.S. officials followed the Legion's activities with concern, especially after Figueres carried out terrorist attacks inside Costa Rica during 1945 and 1946 that were meant to incite a general strike. The people did not respond.

1948 elections and violent aftermath
After a highly contentious electoral process plagued by violence and irregularities concluded on February 8, 1948, the independent electoral tribunal, by a split vote of 2 to 1, declared that opposition candidate Otilio Ulate of the National Union Party, had been elected president. The ruling party's Calderón claimed that this result had been obtained by fraud and petitioned Congress, where the coalition of his own party and the Popular Vanguard Party held a majority, to void the results and call for a new election. When Congress granted this request, the country erupted in chaos, as both sides accused the other of vote tampering and electoral fraud.

On the day that the government annulled the elections, police surrounded the home of Dr. Carlos Luis Valverde, the acting campaign manager for Union National, where Ulate was and Figueres had been only moments before. Shots rang out, and Valverde fell dead on his doorstep. Ulate escaped but was later captured and imprisoned, all of which helped to paint an especially distasteful image of the military.

Beginning of civil war
The annulment of the election results in 1948 and the killing of Valverde on the same day seemed to give Figueres the evidence that he needed that the government had no intention of peacefully accepting the popular will, thus justifying a violent insurrection. On March 11, Figueres made the call that brought in the arms and military leaders he needed for a successful military campaign. On March 12, his National Liberation Army exchanged fire with government forces, and the war began.

Ideological context
Costa Rican politics have traditionally been guided by personal allegiances far more than by ideological consistency, and the Civil War of 1948 provides a striking example of this. Calderón had been elected president in 1940 as the candidate of the right, closely allied with the Roman Catholic Church and with the business elite, but his enthusiastic support for the Allies during World War II, and especially his punitive measures against the rich and influential German community in Costa Rica, caused that elite to withdraw its support for him.

Calderón then created a different political base by allying himself with the Costa Rican communists (the Popular Vanguard Party), led by Manuel Mora, and with the socially progressive Catholic Archbishop of San José, Víctor Manuel Sanabria, in order to pass legislation guaranteeing labor rights and establishing a welfare state. Mora's communist militias provided important armed support for the government, both during the tense years of Picado's administration (1944–48) and during the Civil War itself.

The rebel forces led by Figueres were a mix of anti-communist right-wingers, economically conservative elements weary of the welfare state (represented by the winner of the 1948 election himself, Otilio Ulate), and a social democratic intelligentsia which sought to strengthen the new welfare state while ensuring democratic transparency. After their victory this alliance quickly fell apart. The right-wing faction, led by the junta's Minister of Public Safety, Édgar Cardona, attempted to overthrow Figueres and was excluded from the government thereafter. Figueres himself became closely identified with the social democratic faction, which later dominated his own National Liberation Party (PLN). The economically conservative groups under Ulate ended up allying themselves in the 1950s with Calderón's supporters to form a broad anti-PLN coalition.

This lack of ideological consistency is further underscored by the fact that during the Civil War, the government forces, despite being allied to the Costa Rican communists, enjoyed the support of right-wing Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza, while Figueres's rebels, who as anti-communists were tacitly supported by the United States, received significant aid from leftist Guatemalan president Juan José Arévalo.

Fall of Cartago
The National Liberation Army, as the rebel army called itself, slowly worked their way up the Pan American Highway, capturing small but important cities and ports with relative ease. The official army, which was then led by Picado's brother, was unable to organize an effective resistance to Figueres' National Liberation Army. Figueres also contended against the communist militias commanded by congressman Carlos Luis Fallas and against Nicaraguan soldiers who had been sent by Somoza to help the government retain power.

In Cartago, Costa Rica's second-largest city, located only 12 miles from the capital, Figueres' forces met considerable military opposition; however, the limited forces and supplies of the governmental forces quickly ran out, and Cartago was captured by the rebels on April 12. Costa Rican President Picado, realizing that defeat was inevitable, sent notice to Figueres that he was willing to compromise.

Picado's long-time political ally, Manuel Mora of the communist Popular Vanguard Party, had no intention of negotiating with Figueres. Mora's forces had sealed themselves up inside the capital of San José, and were determined not to capitulate as quickly as Picado. As the target of many of Figueres' criticisms about Costa Rica, Mora and his party were worried that a Figueres-led takeover might well lead to their expulsion from politics.

Surrender of Picado
The day after the fall of Cartago, Picado—low on supplies and without any other source of support—sent a letter to Mora and Calderón stating that "the attempt to hold San José would be futile and catastrophic." Mora, facing the reality that now the United States was ready to act against him as well, gave in to Picado's plea.

On April 19, Picado and Father Benjamín Núñez, an eminent labor leader within Costa Rica, signed the so-called Pact of the Mexican Embassy, ending the armed uprising. Picado resigned the next day, leaving Santos León Herrera as interim president. Picado and former president Calderón Guardia went into exile in Nicaragua. On 24 April, Figueres' forces entered San José, almost six weeks after beginning their revolt in southern Costa Rica. On 8 May the provisional junta presided by Figueres formally took over the government.

USS Conyngham (DD-371)

The second USS Conyngham (DD-371) was a Mahan-class destroyer used in the United States Navy before and during World War II. She was named after Gustavus Conyngham.

History
Conyngham was launched 14 September 1934 by Boston Navy Yard; sponsored by Mrs. A. C. G. Johnson; and commissioned 4 November 1936.

In the spring of 1937, Conyngham made her maiden cruise to ports of northern Europe, and after overhaul at Boston, Massachusetts, sailed for San Diego, California where from 22 October she conducted training exercises. Operations along the west coast, in the Hawaiian Islands, and in the Caribbean continued until 2 April 1940, when she sailed from San Diego for Pearl Harbor, and duty with the security patrol. In March 1941, she sailed on a cruise to Samoa, Fiji, and Australia, returning to local operations from Pearl Harbor.

On 7 December 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Conyngham lay moored at berth X-8, East Loch, Pearl Harbor, on the starboard side of a nest of five destroyers to port of destroyer tender Whitney (AD-4). To port of Conyngham lay USS Reid (DD-369), USS Tucker (DD-374), USS Selfridge (DD-357) and USS Case (DD-370). The nest of destroyers opened fire on the attacking Japanese, and downed several enemy planes.

Conyngham continued to patrol from Pearl Harbor through December, and after a brief overhaul at Mare Island, had escort duty between the west coast and the New Hebrides. In June 1942, Conyngham's escort duties were interrupted to screen carriers in the Battle of Midway, and fought on 4, 5, and 6 June.

Conyngham returned to escort duties until 16 October 1942, when she put out from Pearl Harbor to screen USS Enterprise (CV-6) for action in the Southwest Pacific. She defended the carriers in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on 26 October. On 2 November, Conyngham bombarded Kokumbona, a village on the island of Guadalcanal, and while maneuvering in close quarters, collided with another destroyer. The resulting damage was temporarily repaired at Nouméa and completed at Pearl Harbor. Conyngham returned to Espiritu Santo 4 February 1943 to resume her support of the Guadalcanal operation. On 7 February she bombarded Doma Cove, and for the next 5 months, continued patrol and escort duties between bases in the South Pacific and Australia.

Conyngham brought gunfire support to Operation Chronicle, landings on Woodlark and Kiriwina Islands, off New Guinea from 1 to 3 July 1943, and on 23 August bombarded Finschhafen, New Guinea. On 4 September she screened landings at Lae, New Guinea, and was attacked by three bombers, which damaged her with near misses. Quickly repaired, she returned to Finschhafen 22 September to cover landings, and then sailed to Brisbane, Australia. She was back in action for the landings on Arawe, New Britain, on 15 December, on Cape Gloucester 26 December, and on Saidor, New Guinea, 2 January 1944. She continued duties in the New Guinea area, aside from a repair period in Australia in January 1944, until she sailed in March for an overhaul at San Francisco, California.

Returning to Majuro late in May 1944, Conyngham sailed with TF 58, screening battleships during the Marianas operation. On 13 June she fired in the bombardment of Saipan, and remained in the Marianas offering fire support, escort, and patrol services until August. After escorting ships in preparation for the return to the Philippines, Conyngham arrived in Leyte Gulf 4 November screening reinforcements. She was strafed by a float plane on 16 November, which wounded 17 of her men and caused slight damage to the ship. On 7 December she covered the landings in Ormoc Bay under heavy air attack, and on 11 December, entered Ormoc Bay again with reinforcements.

Fate
Putting into Manus for replenishment 23 December 1944, Conyngham sailed on to Hollandia to join the screen of a convoy bound for Leyte and on the landings in Lingayen Gulf. Here she joined in pre-assault bombardment, and remained on patrol after the landings of 9 January 1945 until 18 January. On 1 February, along with USS Lough she sank in error motor torpedo boats PT-77 and PT-79 near Talin Point. At Subic Bay from 22 July for overhaul, she remained there at the close of the war, and was decommissioned 20 December 1946. Used as a target in the 1946 atomic weapons tests at Bikini, she was destroyed by sinking 2 July 1948 off the California coast.

Conyngham received 14 battle stars in World War II.

Lavagna

Lavagna is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Genoa, in the Italian region of Liguria.

History and culture
The village, unlike nearby Chiavari which has pre-Roman evidence, seems to have developed in Roman times with the Latin name of Lavania. The name has remained unchanged, over the centuries, until it became the current toponym of Lavagna in the following centuries.

Since 1198 it was a fief of the Fieschi family, who used Lavagna as their stronghold in the numerous inner struggles of the Republic of Genoa.

In 1564 it was sacked by the admiral of the Ottoman fleet Occhiali. From 1815 it was part of the Kingdom of Sardinia and, later, of the Kingdom of Italy.

The city recreates medieval festivities annually as the Torta dei Fieschi ("Fieschi Cake Party"), since 1949, the festivities is about a colorful parade through the Lavagna streets that reunites the inhabitants of the six medieval quarters of Lavagna, as the gigantic cake is distributed among those in the crowd who have found the matching half of their tickets.

The main city sights of Lavagna are: Church of Santo Stefano (17th century style), Church of Santa Giulia (1654), Church of Nostra Signora del Ponte (13th century), with the nearby bridge.

Controversies
In 2016, Giuseppe Sanguineti, the former mayor of Lavagna, was arrested due to the involvement of 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia, in the disposal of the municipal waste.

Chaparral High School (Temecula, California)

Chaparral High School, colloquially known as Chap, is a public, 4-year comprehensive high school in Temecula, California, United States. The school serves students in grades 9 through 12 and is one of five high schools in the Temecula Valley Unified School District.

History
The school opened in 1997 with a class of freshmen and sophomores, and added juniors the following year and seniors after that, graduating its first class in 2000. It was the second comprehensive high school built in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, after Temecula Valley, and was constructed at a cost of $36 million. The puma was chosen over the cougar for the school mascot, and platinum was chosen for a school color instead of flat silver. It was also named a California Gold Ribbon School in 2017.
