Russia Tower

The Russia Tower (Башня Россия; Bashnya Rossiya) was a skyscraper project planned for the Moscow International Business Center in Moscow, Russia. It was started but eventually was cancelled due to the financial crisis of 2007–2008. It was replaced by the Neva Towers project.

Development
The original idea for the building was proposed in 1994. Since then, the tower's planned location changed five times. One of the proposed concepts, by Norman Foster, was meant to reach a height of 1 km; however, that concept was cancelled by the Mayor of Moscow, Yury Luzhkov.

In 2006, at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, proposed designs of the Russia Tower were presented. The model by Norman Foster won. This 2006 version had a height of 612 m and 118 floors. Construction began in September 2007, with a planned completion date of 2012, which was later postponed to 2016.

The total area of the structure would have covered 520000 m2, of which approximately 200000 m2 would have been underground. The tower would have contained 118 floors, 101 elevators, and 3,680 underground parking spaces. Commercial retail shops would have been located at the base of the building. The maximum capacity of the building was projected to be around 30,000 people.

The tower's development company froze the project and halted construction in November 2008, suspended it in February 2009, and in June 2009, the project was officially cancelled. The financial crisis of 2007–2008 led to problems in financing the project.

Financial and business history
The Russia Tower was proposed to be built on plots 2 and 3 of the Moscow International Business Center in 1994, and was intended to be the world's tallest building: a 648 m, 125-story tower. It was designed by the Chicago-based architecture firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.

Its building site was soon moved to plot 14. In the middle of 2003 an updated, 648 m, 134-story design had been approved and the site moved to plots 17 and 18. In January 2004, the Moscow Development Company (STT Group) was appointed as the main investor and developer of the US$2-billion project.

On 18 September 2007, the building's cornerstone was laid in a groundbreaking ceremony.

Russian news agency Interfax reported on 21 November 2008 that construction on the tower was to be halted. Shalva Chigirinsky, head of the tower's development company, indicated that the financial crisis of 2007–2008 had left him unable to secure financing for the project and had also removed demand for the tower's office space, even if the building were able to be completed.

On 3 December 2008, the Russian oil company Sibir Energy agreed to buy a number of real estate assets, including Russia Tower, from Chigirinsky. As Chigirinsky was a major shareholder in Sibir Energy, the purpose of the purchase was to alleviate financial pressures upon him, so that he would not be forced to sell his company shares, which would in turn enable the company to preserve its existing shareholder structure.

However, many business news analysts decried the move, arguing that such use of the oil company's business capital to assist Chigirinsky by purchasing his economically distressed real estate assets—which had no relation to the company's core oil business—at possibly inflated prices was detrimental to the company's shareholders and constituted a significant conflict of interest.

On 12 February 2009, it was announced that the Russia Tower would most likely not be built. The project developer's assistant stated that, "In today's economy, a project of such scale is no longer feasible for us and can no longer be justified." In place of the tower, the company proposed to use the land to build three smaller skyscrapers and a large parking garage.

In June 2009, the project was officially cancelled, to be turned into a parking lot for existing buildings. However, a smaller building is planned to be built on the site eventually.

West Virginia Route 94

West Virginia Route 94 is a 10 mi long north–south route connecting Marmet and Racine in West Virginia. The southern terminus of the route is at West Virginia Route 3 in Racine. The northern terminus is at West Virginia Route 61 in Marmet.

WV 94 was once signed in West Huntington from Interstate 64 to the Nick Joe Rahall II Bridge beginning in 1970. In 1984, the route was decommissioned and replaced instead by US 52. With the completion of Corridor G in the 1980s and 1990s, WV 94 would later resurface, replacing U.S. Route 119's former corridor as it was realigned with Corridor G.

Parliament of Moldova

The Parliament of Moldova (Parlamentul Republicii Moldova) is the supreme representative body of the Republic of Moldova (Republica Moldova), the only state legislative authority, being a unicameral structure composed of 101 elected MPs on lists, for a period or legislature of four years. The Parliament of Moldova is elected by universal vote, equal directly, secret and freely expressed. The president of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova is elected by the Parliament, with a minimum of 52 votes.

The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova, on a proposal of the Central Electoral Commission, decides to validate or invalidate the mandate of the Member of Parliament. The mandate is invalid in the case of violation of electoral legislation. The Parliament is meeting at the convening of the Speaker of the Parliament within 30 days of the elections. The Parliament's mandate is prolonged until the legal meeting of the new composition. During this period the Constitution cannot be amended and organic laws cannot be adopted, amended or abrogated.

Parliamentary elections in Moldova took place on 11 July 2021. The snap parliamentary elections resulted in a landslide win for the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS).

Apparatus
The Parliament staff ensures an organizational, informational and technological assistance to activity of the Parliament, the Standing Bureau, standing committees, parliamentary factions and of deputies. The structure and the personal record of the parliament staff are approved by the Parliament.

Legislative procedure
According to the Constitution of Moldova (1994), the Parliament is the supreme representative organ and the single legislative authority of the state. The right of legislative initiative belongs to the Members of Parliament, to the Speaker (excepting proposals to revise the Constitution) and to the Government. In exercise of this right MPs and the president of the state present to Parliament draft papers and legislative proposals, while the Government presents draft papers.

Parliamentary factions
In order to form the working bodies and to organize the activity of the parliament, deputies form parliamentary factions composed of at least 5 deputies elected on the basis of lists of electoral contestants, as well as parliamentary factions with the same numerical composition as independent deputies. The parliamentary factions are constituted within 10 days after the legal constitution of the parliament.

Oswald Houston

Oswald Houston (April 16, 1798 – June 11, 1861) was a merchant as well as the first treasurer of the city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA, serving the city from just after its inception in 1847 to the mid-1850s when he was disabled by a stroke.

Early life
Houston was born in Abbeville District, South Carolina, on April 16, 1798. On May 20, 1818, he received an appointment to attend West Point Military Academy, following his December 15, 1817, letter to the War Department. However, it is uncertain that he actually attended the Academy. He served as a Captain of Artillery in South Carolina. He married Sarah Saxon in 1819 and, after her death, he married Anna Eliza Shaw in 1821.

Career
In 1833, Houston and his family moved to Williamsport, Maury County, Tennessee. Here he farmed and was a member of the church. He and his wife raised their family, losing several children to infectious diseases. For a brief period, he moved to Paducah, but returned to Williamsport. In 1847, injured when his wagon overturned, he determined that he would have to seek alternative means of earning a living.

Atlanta's first treasurer
In May 1847, the year that the city changed its name from Marthasville to Atlanta, he moved his family to this burgeoning railroad terminus where he engaged in merchandising and was the first city treasurer. He was re-elected for several additional terms as treasurer until he was stricken with paralysis in 1855 after which he was an invalid until his death.

Commemoration and memorials
In noting his death, it was said, "...on June 11, 1861, of Oswald Houston, Atlanta lost the good citizen who kept watch over its finances in its formative years as a city, through long service as city treasurer." In June 1847, Houston was a co-founder of Atlanta's first Sunday school, an ecumenical school for all religions. In January 1848, he was a co-founder of the Presbyterian Church which ultimately became the First Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. He is buried at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta.

Houston Street in Atlanta, now renamed John Wesley Dobbs Avenue, was named for him. However, Houston County in central Georgia is said to have been named after John Houstoun who was governor of Georgia for several terms in the 18th century, Houston County, Georgia, and after whom some would erroneously claim John Houstoun the original name of Houston Street in Atlanta which was originally named after Oswald Houston.

Clarification on pronunciation
The pronunciation of his last name causes some friendly, and at times not-so-friendly, contention between natives of Georgia and Texas. He pronounced his last name "HOUSE-tun" and the (former) street name was also pronounced that way as is Houston Mill Road in Decatur, Georgia, named after the mill that was built by his son Washington Jackson Houston. Almost everyone who is not from Georgia will pronounce it in the way of the city in Texas, "HYOOS-tun", and will be quickly corrected by native Georgians.

Disambiguation
With the surname pronounced differently but spelled the same, Oswald has sometimes been said to be a relative of Sam Houston whose ancestry evolved in the same region but there is no documented linkage at this time.

There is a Benjamin Houston who married Elizabeth "Betsy" Oswald. Descendants are working on confirming whether Oswald Houston was a son of this couple.

Josie Bissett

Jolyn Christine Heutmaker (born October 5, 1970), known professionally as Josie Bissett, is an American actress. She is known for her role as Jane Mancini on the television series Melrose Place (1992–1999), and for her television film appearances over the past three decades.

Early life
A native of Seattle, Washington, Bissett began her career in front of the camera at the age of 12 as a model in print advertisements and television commercials.

Career
Bissett's acting debut was in the 1989 Italian-American produced horror film Hitcher in the Dark. By that time, she had adopted her mother's maiden name as her stage name, after her original surname Heutmaker was found too difficult for agents to pronounce. In early 1990, Bissett played a recurring role on the sitcom The Hogan Family for two seasons. In 1992, she was cast as fashion designer Jane Andrews-Mancini on the prime time soap opera Melrose Place. Bissett remained with the series for five-and-a-half seasons until halfway through the 1996–97 season when she suffered a real-life miscarriage. She then took some time off from the series, but returned to the show in 1998 for its final season. In 2009–10, Bissett made guest appearances in two episodes of The CW's updated version of Melrose Place, reprising her role as Jane Andrews-Mancini.

She has made appearances in such projects as the telefilms The Fire Above and Dare to Love on ABC, Deadly Vows on FOX, Baby Monitor: Sound of Fear on USA, and I Do, They Don't on ABC Family. She has also made numerous guest-starring appearances, such as a 2003 appearance on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In 2008, she began a recurring role on the ABC Family TV series The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She starred in the Lifetime Television original film The Other Woman, based on the novel by Joy Fielding and directed by Jason Priestley. It debuted on June 28, 2008.

Bissett's feature film debut was in 1991, in Oliver Stone's The Doors, as the girlfriend of Doors' guitarist Robby Krieger. Her subsequent films include the coming-of-age comedy Book of Love and the psychological thriller Mikey.

Bissett has hosted television series on the topic of parenting, including Parenting & Beyond, which offered parents creative solutions to everyday problems. She also hosted the PBS educational special Teach More, Love More which follows four families, each with a child in a stage of early childhood development.

Bissett played Bobbi Gilbert (Tammy Petrin) in the 1994 television movie called Deadly Vows. The second wife, Tammy Petrin, was gunned down along with a co-worker at a Burger King in Woonsocket, Rhode Island in 1991. Angel Luis Valentin-Ramos, 38, of Framingham was arrested about 4 p.m. Sunday near the Ted Williams Tunnel in Boston. Ronald Harnois, a convicted bigamist serving a 20-year sentence for trying to kill his first wife with a car bomb, was charged in 1998 with the murder-for-hire of Petrin and her Burger King co-worker. Harnois was convicted in the murder of Petrin as well. He is now serving three life sentences for Petrin's murder on top of the 20-year sentence he got for attempting to kill his second wife.

She has appeared on several magazine covers, including TV Guide, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Shape's Fit Pregnancy and New Woman.

Bissett has been the face of several national commercial campaigns, including Neutrogena's skin care line, Dr. Scholl's Pedicure Essentials, and Murad Skin Care.

She has also been the spokesperson of the 1997 Lee National Denim Day with the Lee Company. This was to help raise money for the fight against breast cancer and for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

She has co-edited two books, Little Bits Of Wisdom and Making Memories, which compile parenting stories and advice from parents around the world. She also authored a children's book, Tickle Monster, released in April 2008.

Personal life
In 1992, Bissett married actor Rob Estes, who also starred on Melrose Place. The couple have two children together. They announced their plans to divorce in January 2006.

Bissett resides in Seattle. She married Thomas Doig on July 4, 2017.

Albert system

The Albert system refers to a system of clarinet keywork and fingering developed by Eugène Albert. In the United Kingdom, it is known as the simple system. It has been largely replaced by the Boehm system and Oehler system.

Big Band musician Jimmy Dorsey used a clarinet outfitted with the Albert system.

The Albert system is still used, mainly by clarinettists who perform Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek and Turkish folk music, Klezmer, and Dixieland styles. Often these musicians prefer the Albert system due to the ease of slurring notes provided by unkeyed tone holes.

The system is a derivative of the early 19th century 13-key system developed by Iwan Müller and as such is related to the (more advanced) Oehler system used by most German and Austrian clarinettists.

Edward Lyon Berthon

Edward Lyon Berthon FRAS (20 February 1813 London – 27 October 1899) was an English inventor and clergyman.

Life
He was born in Finsbury Square, London, on 20 February 1813, was the tenth child of Peter Berthon, and his wife, Elizabeth Green Park, daughter of Henry Park of Liverpool, who were married in 1797. His father was great-grandson of St. Pol le Berthon, the only son of the Huguenot Marquis de Chatellerault, who escaped the persecutions that followed the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685. He found a refuge in Lisbon, whence his son proceeded to London. Peter Berthon was an army contractor, who was reduced from wealth to comparative poverty by the wreck of a number of his ships and the end of the war on the downfall of Napoleon.

Berthon was at school in Wanstead and then at the Monoux School Walthamstow (of which he left a memoir (quoted in Pond. Sir George Monoux's school Walthamstow 1527-1977, pub 1977 and quoted at https://oldmonovians.com/history/the-first-400-years/1820-1889.html). From there, he studied medicine  in Liverpool and Dublin, but after his marriage in 1834 he gave up his intention of becoming a doctor, and travelled for about six years on the continent. Keenly interested from boyhood in mechanical science, he made experiments in the application of the screw propeller for boats. But his model, with a two-bladed propeller, was only ridiculed when it was placed before the British admiralty. Berthon therefore did not complete the patent and the idea was left for Francis Smith to bring out more successfully in 1838.

In 1841 he entered Magdalene College, Cambridge, in order to study for the Church. There he produced what is usually known as "Berthon's log", in which the suction produced by the water streaming past the end of a pipe projected below a ship is registered on a mercury column above.

In 1845, he was ordained, and after holding a curacy at Lymington was given a living at Fareham. Here he was able to carry on experiments with his log, which was tested on the Southampton to Jersey steamboats; but the British admiralty gave him no encouragement, and it remained uncompleted. He then designed some instruments to indicate the trim and rolling of boats at sea; but the idea for which he is chiefly remembered was that of the "Berthon Folding Boat" in 1849. This invention was again adversely reported on by the admiralty. Berthon resigned his living at Fareham, and subsequently accepted the living of Romsey.

In 1856, Berthon unsuccessfully trialled an india-rubber mortar raft off Southsea Castle, which split open and sank with the loss of one man drowned after firing the fifteenth round. A scathing editorial in 'The Engineer' issue of Friday January 18, 1856, read:

"The Reverend Mr. Berthon offers himself as another example of the consequences of a man mistaking his vocation. This gentleman resigns his incumbency that he may be the better enabled to turn all his attention to, and occupy all his time in, the construction of a mortar-raft, which failed altogether to withstand the concussion consequent upon the discharge of the ordnance it was intended to sustain. It parts asunder, and disappears. Fortunately for the inventor, he had kept at a distance (not from fear, but for the purpose of witnessing the practice), and so escaped without hurt. One poor fellow was, however, not so fortunate. We trust Mr. Berthon will think no more of mortar-rafts. It ill becomes the minister of peace to renounce his mission, and devote the talent he possesses to the fabrication of war implements and the construction of war craft. War is, at best, in its strictest necessity, an appalling alternative; and from the preparation of its death-dealing machinery it seems peculiarly advisable and proper that the clergyman should keep his hands aloof."

In 1873, encouraged by Samuel Plimsoll, he again applied himself to perfecting his collapsible boat. Success was at last achieved, and in less than a year he had received orders from the admiralty for boats to the amount of £15,000. Some were taken by Sir George Nares to the Arctic, others were sent to General Gordon at Khartoum, and others again were taken to the Zambezi by Frederick Selous. Alain Gerbault used one as his tender in his famous 1923-1929 solo circumnavigation aboard his 39' sailboat Firecrest.

He died at the vicarage, Romsey, on 27 October 1899.

Brainerd International Raceway

Brainerd International Raceway is a road course, and dragstrip racing complex northwest of the city of Brainerd, Minnesota. The complex has a 0.25 mi dragstrip, and overlapping 2.500 mi and 3.100 mi road courses. The complex also includes a kart track. The raceway hosts the National Hot Rod Association's Lucas Oil Nationals. It is a popular racetrack for the Trans Am Series. The spectator seating capacity of the circuit is 20,000.

History
Opened in July 1968 as Donnybrooke Speedway, there were no safety barriers, run-out areas, grandstands or even restrooms. George Montgomery and Bud Stall cleared the racetrack through a wooded area on the south side of North Long Lake. It was SCCA's first venue in the region. It was also an NHRA-sanctioned track, with the first official event there an NHRA race, at the opening; Top Fuel Dragster was won by Doc Halladay. With the help of St Paul sports promoter Dennis Scanlan, it hosted a 2-heat USAC Indy Car race in 1969. The heats were won by Gordon Johncock and Dan Gurney.

Donnybrooke, played host to CanAm races in 1970, 1971, and 1972. These races were won by, respectively, Denny Hulme, Peter Revson, and François Cevert. In 1973 Jerry Hansen bought the track and renamed it Brainerd International Raceway.

In the 1970s, the Donnybrooke track began holding Funny Car events, in particular the Crown Auto Funny Car Championships, and in time, NHRA was convinced to stage a national event at Brainerd: in 1982, Shirley Muldowney (in Top Fuel Dragster), Frank Hawley (Top Fuel Funny Car), and Lee Shepherd (Pro Stock) were the headline winners at the first Quaker State North Star NHRA Nationals.

In Pro Stock, Bob Glidden won at Brainerd in 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1992.

The Brainerd strip became known as "one of the quickest and fastest in the world". It was completely resurfaced in 2003. In 2005, Tony Schumacher turned in a speed of 337.58 mph, "the fastest quarter-mile time ever", and in 2016 and 2017, national NHRA records in Funny Car were set there.

Kenny Bernstein won at Brainerd five times, 1983 and 1987 (in Top Fuel Funny Car) and in 1991, 1996, and 2002 (in Top Fuel Dragster)).

In the summer of 2006, Jed and Kristi Copham of Forest Lake, Minnesota, became the new owners of Brainerd International Raceway.

The track hosted two NASCAR K&N Pro Series West events between 2012 and 2013. The track also hosted one NASCAR Midwest Series race in 2004.

Brainerd International Raceway was damaged during a severe thunderstorm that struck portions of Minnesota on July 12, 2015.

Track Information
Brainerd International Raceway consists of 2 road tracks and 1 drag strip.

Donnybrooke Road Course
Brainerd International Raceway maintains the original name of the now 50-year-old course. The course is used for automotive and motorcycle racing.

The 3.100 mi Donnybrooke Road Course has 10 turns and is considered wide – the main straight is 60 ft wide. There is essentially no elevation change. BIR is a high-speed course; vehicles can reach speeds of nearly 180 mph and take the slowest corners around 80 mph. There are wide runoff areas at most of the corners, which makes BIR's road course extremely safe. This configuration uses the dragstrip as part of the course.

Competition Road Course
The 2009 racing season was the first for the 2.500 mi course which was completed in the 2008 summer.

Turn 1 on the 2.500 mi Competition Road Course is the same as Turn 1 on the three-mile road course. Turn 1 is a narrow but very high-speed banked right-hand 60-degree turn, which is intended be taken flat out by all vehicles. Turns 1 through 8 of the original 3.100 mi road course are used for the new circuit. At Turn 8, a 240-degree right-hand Clover Leaf transitions drivers from the old course to the new stretch of asphalt that winds its way back across the infield, eventually tying back into the original circuit just before Turn 1, avoiding the dragstrip. In all, the Competition Road Course features 13 turns and very little elevation change.

Dragstrip
The dragstrip dates back to 1969, when Donnybrooke converted the mile-long straightaway on its road course to a drag strip and hosted an NHRA Divisional Points Race. In 1977, BIR hosted the Crown Auto Funny Car Championships and the Crown Auto Winston Points Championship. It was reconstructed in 2005, adding a 700 ft concrete launch pad and new asphalt for the remaining 600 ft was installed. Tony Schumacher, set the world record for top fuel dragsters with a 337.58 mi/h run in 2005. This speed and time are recorded at the end of a standing start quarter mile acceleration race, before the NHRA shortened top fuel and funny car races to the current 1,000 ft since 2008.

Lap records
As of June 2024, the fastest official race lap records at the Brainerd International Raceway for different classes are listed as:

Mayo GAA

The Mayo County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Cumann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Maigh Eo) or Mayo GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Mayo and the Mayo county teams.

The county football team was the second from the province of Connacht to win an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC), following Galway, but the first to appear in the final. Mayo play in the Connacht Senior Football Championship. The team has won three All-Ireland Senior Football Championships; 1936, 1950, 1951 and has acquired a long-term record for reaching eleven All-Ireland SFC finals only to fall at the ultimate hurdle in 1989, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2006, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2021. Mayo has won the greatest number of National Football League titles consecutively (six, from 1934 to 1939). Mayo was the longest serving team in Division 1 of the National Football League when relegated in 2020, having played there since 1997. In 2021, Mayo gained promotion, at the first attempt, back to Division 1 of the National League.

Governance
Hurling in Mayo is administered by the Mayo GAA Hurling Committee, which is a sub-committee of the Mayo GAA County Board.

Clubs
Clubs contest the Mayo Senior Football Championship.

Crossmolina Deel Rovers won the 2000–01 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.

Ballina Stephenites won the 2004–05 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.

County team

The county team won its first All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) in 1936, defeating Laois in the final.

It won a second All-Ireland SFC in 1950, defeating Louth in the final. The team retained the All-Ireland SFC in 1951, defeating Meath in the final.

Mayo did not appear in another All-Ireland SFC final until 1989, losing to Cork.

Since 1989, the team has appeared in (and lost) All-Ireland SFC finals in 1996 (drawn game and reply), 1997, 2004, 2006, 2012, 2013, 2016 (drawn game and replay), 2017, 2020 and 2021. Three of those were one-point losses: 2013, 2016 (replay) and 2017.

Mayo scored 21 points to Dublin's nine in the 2016 drawn game but two of the scores were own goals by Mayo players. In 2020, Mayo conceded the fastest goal in the history of All-Ireland SFC finals, knocking more than twenty seconds off a record which had stood for 58 years. In the 2021 loss, Ryan O'Donoghue hit a penalty against the goalpost and numerous other goal chances were squandered. A curse is said to be upon the Mayo football team.

Clubs
Although not a traditional hurling county, hurling is strong in certain parts of the county especially in the eastern region around Ballyhaunis and Tooreen. Mayo has four senior hurling clubs, each of which competes against the others annually for the TJ Tyrell Mayo Senior Hurling Championship. These four clubs are Tooreen, Ballyhaunis, Castlebar Mitchels and Westport. Tooreen has the most titles, with 26.

Ballyhaunis is the reigning senior champion club; it has six senior titles.

Hurling at underage level is also expanding in Mayo, with ten clubs competing in underage leagues and championships in the county. As well as the four adult sides named above, four other underage clubs have formed in recent years. These clubs are Ballyvary, Moytura, Caiseal Gaels and Claremorris.

County team
The four senior clubs (see above) provide players for the Mayo senior hurling panel, which participates in the National Hurling League and the All-Ireland Christy Ring (Tier 2) Cup.

The ten underage clubs (see above) provide players for the Mayo underage hurling development panels. Mayo has development panels at under-14, under-15, under-16 and minor age-groups, and competes in the All-Ireland 'B' competitions each year.

The Mayo under-21 hurling team competes in the Connacht U-21B Hurling Championship each year alongside Leitrim, Roscommon and Sligo.

Mayo won the 2016 Nicky Rackard Cup, defeating Armagh by a scoreline of 2–16 to 1–15 at Croke Park.

Camogie
Mayo contested the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship final of 1959, captained by Josie Ruane from Menulla. Na Brídeoga won the Coiste Chontae an Chláir Shield at Féile na nGael in 2009, Parke (1983) and Ardagh (1988) had previously won divisional honours.

The county hosted the 2007 Máire Ní Chinnéide Cup.

Under Camogie's National Development Plan 2010–2015, "Our Game, Our Passion", Donegal, Kerry, Mayo and Monaghan were to get a total of 14 new clubs by 2015.

User:Geogre/Lists

This is a sample. Once there are more citizens of this category, this one should be removed.

I put this on my talk page ages ago, and I linked it clearly, so kind and dilligent folks came along and turned every link blue. This is a good thing. It is exactly how things ought to work.

However, I did this before I had the category idea, and that's why there is one thing about this that is not exemplary: it's named "Lists." That's stupid. What is better is if folks name their red lists on their user talk pages in a way that indicates what kind of list it is. I really hope this idea takes off. Geogre 12:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

History of Paris
What would you suggest is missing? Does it have FAC potential?

To answer my own question: I think it badly needs references, and a few of the statements (on Marie-Antoinette, or on behaviour during WW2) seem more like opinion than sure facts. David.Monniaux 19:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes it has potential, and the biggest job to get it ready will be finding sources to verify things that look a bit shaky. The article doesn't mention the Paris Olympics at all (1900 and 1924), which are a pretty historic events for the cities that hold them. The lead should also be expanded from the sentence it is now into two to three paragraphs that summarise the article.--nixie 05:43, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It's very selective. Very, VERY selective. Seriously. It has a great number of holes the size of Notre Dame. For instance, it doesn't mention the great flood of 1647, which took place during the Fronde. Not once does it mention the Grand-Opera tradition. Garnier's Opera is nowhere to be found. It zeroes in on the Eiffel Tower in connection with the Belle Epoque, even though the said epoch is associated with the phenomenon known as "Paris, 1900" and is symbolized, apart from the Champs Elysee, by the Sacre Couere Cathedral. There is no mention of the nineteenth century literary movements; no theatre, no Dumas (either one). It says something about the first Revolution, but it does not mention, in connection to it, that it triggered the rapid switch in, not just Paris, but world, architecture - from Baroque to Classicism. Housmann is mentioned. That's a blessing. However, he did not "demolish much of the old city." That's just plain silly. He very carefully selected buildings to be eliminated to make way for his Boulevards. Once in a while, you see in Paris a building, on a boulevard, whose facade does not parallel the sidewalk. That means that Housmann looked very carefully at it, liked the building a whole lot, and decided to spare it. The secret plans listing the buildings scheduled for demolition were sold to private citizens, who would then buy them from the owners for a regular price and, come time for the building to be razed, would re-sell it to the Government for a hell of a lot of money. There is a novel about this by none other than Zola. A circus is just that - a circus. No need to use the word when all you want to say is "plaza" or "roundabout." How about some extensive mention of the Metro? Highly unsatisfactory. Work on it.-- Impressionist 6 October 2005

 * I agree that the article needs sources and that it should pay a little more attention to architectural history, but I disagree that an encyclopedia article on the history of a city needs to mention Olympic Games from the early 20th century (when they were much less of an extravaganza than today). I also disagree that an encyclopedia article on the history of a city (as opposed, perhaps, to a full-length book) needs to cover the city's literary figures, especially in the case of Paris, where covering the city's literary history would essentially require a history of French literature.  I think it would suffice to state that the city played a central role in French literary history, with a link to the article on that subject.  Marco polo 19:30, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Monaghan GAA

The Monaghan County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Cumann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Mhuineacháin) or Monaghan GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Monaghan and the Monaghan county football and hurling teams. Separate county boards are responsible for the promotion & development of handball, camogie and ladies' football within the county, as well as having responsibility for their representative county players/teams. The current team sponsor of Monaghan GAA is Investec.

Clubs
Clubs contest the Monaghan Senior Football Championship.

County team
Football was recorded in Inniskeen in 1706 in a poem. Monaghan were prominent in Ulster championship competitions during the period 1914–30 and one of the first Ulster counties to contest an All-Ireland final.

Monaghan beat Kildare in a semi-final to reach the 1930 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, where Kerry beat them by 3–11 to 0-2 without their goalkeeper touching the ball.

In 1979 the Monaghan team won the Ulster Senior Football Championship for the first time in 41 years with a defeat of Donegal. In the final Monaghan Kieran Finlay scored 1-09, which was a record in an Ulster final for 20 years, until Armagh's Oisin McConville bettered it with a 2-07 tally against Down in 1999. They also won the Dr McKenna Cup in 1979. Victories in the Ceannarus Tournament against Roscommon and Dublin in 1979 brought gloss to the county's finest year on the football field in almost half a century. In the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship 1979 semi-final at Croke Park, Monaghan were again beaten by Kerry, 5–14 to 0-07.

In 1984 the Centenary Cup final was reached following wins over Limerick, Mayo, Offaly (quarter final) and Derry (semi-final after extra time) The Offaly and Derry games were played in Croke Park as was the final against Meath which Monaghan lost by 0–10 to 0-08. Monaghan also won Division 3 of the National Football League that year and lost to Meath in the quarterfinal.

1985 was the county's most successful year to date when a National Football League final victory against Armagh in 1985 created a momentum that peaked in 1985 when future Monaghan manager Eamonn McEneaney kicked one of the most spectacular equalizing points in many years from 48 metres out near the sideline beside the Hogan Stand to draw the All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry on a scoreline of Monaghan 2–09 to Kerry's 1-12. Kerry won the replay on a 2–09 to 0–10 score. That National football league title of 1985 was won by Monaghan on a 1–11 to 0–09 score against pre-match favourites Armagh. The game was effectively settled by an Eamon McEneaney penalty in the first half when referee John Gough from Antrim decided that an Armagh defender had taken too many steps in his own penalty area. Armagh got to within a point in the second half but a flurry of exceptional long range points from Bernie Murray, Eamon McEneaney and Ray McCarron brought the trophy to Monaghan for the first time.

That year's Ulster Senior Football Championship was also a stirring success. An easy first round victory over Donegal in Castleblayney, marked by a spectacular Eamon Murphy goal, followed by a lucky draw against Armagh in the semi-final and one-point victory in the replay saw Monaghan meet Derry in the Ulster Senior Football Championship final. The first day against Armagh, Monaghan relied on pure luck to survive for a draw, as Armagh dominated the game from start to finish, doing everything but score. Paddy Linden saved a penalty, while and Armagh player saw the line barely 30 seconds after coming onto the field as a substitute, following an apparent high tackle on Declan Flanagan. The replay was a better match but a late Armagh goal had Monaghan concerned. However they won by 1–11 to 2-07.

In the Ulster final against Derry Eamon McEneaney helped himself to 2-04 as Monaghan recorded and easy 2–09 to 0–08 win. As stated the drawn All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry was a thriller but the absence of David Byrne through injury in the second half probably cost Monaghan victory. Eamon McEneaney's last gasp equaliser was something special but in the replay Kerry were ruthless and despite serious Monaghan pressure the Kingdom won by 5 points. Monaghan's run that year was something special considering the fact that they were missing Declan Loughman, Gerry Hoey and Bernie Murray (all with broken legs). All three were prominent in the National Football League win over Armagh while they would form the spine of the Ulster Senior Football Championship winning side of 1988.

Monaghan reached the 1986 National Football League final but this time the opposition was Laois. Played in front of over 30,000 supporters the Laoismen edged out Monaghan by 2–06 to 2-05. Monaghan's championship run in 1986 consisted of a draw against Down in Castleblayney thanks to a last gap Eamon McEneaney free while in the replay Down emerged victors in Newcastle on a 2–11 to 0–11 score. A promising season was over before it had begun.

In 1987, Monaghan reached the National Football League semi-final again where they played out a thrilling game against Kerry at Croke Park. A superb second half performance against the wind had Monaghan leading by a couple of points near the end but a Pat Spillane goal and a late point by Mikey Sheehy saw the Kingdom win by 2–11 to 2-09. Monaghan's goals came from Mick O'Dowd and Hugo Clerkin. Disappointment followed in the Ulster championship with a shock 0–14 to 0–12 loss to Cavan in Breffni Park. The early promise of 1985 looked over as two successive seasons of flattering to deceive left the county in a state of gloom.

In 1988, the team reached the National Football League semi-final again but ended in a 4–12 to 1-08 drubbing from Dublin at Croke Park. However a good league run prior to that had rescued a season where relegation to Division 2 of the National Football League looked a distinct possibility. A change in management during that league run also added to the merit of the achievement. The 1988 All Ireland semi-final against Cork was even less memorable. Monaghan were holding out against a gale-force wind in the first half and were 0–08 to 0-01 behind at the break. Goalkeeper Paddy Linden had saved a penalty from Larry Tompkins. Two early second half points brought Monaghan to within 5 points. A highly controversial goal following an apparent foul on Monaghan's Brendan Murray rocked the Monaghan revival and Cork took over. Linden's display in that match was a significant factor in him being the first Ulster goalkeeper to receive an All-star award that year. As stated the game was decided when Cork scored a dubious goal and the All-Ireland dream died again. With that defeat, the successful team of the mid 80s started to break up.

However 1988 will be remembered for the Ulster title win over Tyrone when a "Nudie" Hughes goal following a fumble by Tyrone keeper Aidan Skelton saw Monaghan win by 1–10 to 0-11. An interesting facet of this particular game was that all Monaghan's scores came from play. Previous wins over Cavan (0-16 to 0-14), again marked by a 5 star performance from Nudie Hughes and Down (1-11 to 0-09) had brought Monaghan to the Ulster final.

In 1989 Monaghan scraped home with an 0–08 to 0–05 win against Antrim in Casement Park, Belfast, where the homesters literally kicked the game away. Down ended Monaghan's run in Castleblayney a few weeks later.

The 1990s and early part of the 2000s were lean years for the county.

The National Football League run of 1998 was also memorable for Monaghan when they surprisingly qualified from a "group of death" that included Tyrone, Dublin, Kerry, Cavan and Sligo to qualify for the quarter-finals against Down in Croke Park. Behind at one stage early in the second half by 1–05 to 0-02, the Down goal scored by James Mc Cartan, a rousing rally with goals by Darren Swift and Stephen Mc Ginnitty and a spectacular individual point by Peter Duffy saw Monaghan cause a mild surprise with a 2–05 to 1–06 win. The semi final against Derry was less memorable and defeat on a score of 1–12 to 0-08 was the result. The game had a bit of controversy too when a Mark Daly goal was disallowed and a Monaghan player was sent off. It set the tone for a niggly Ulster Senior Football Championship meeting between both sides a few weeks later. Monaghan's Edwin Murphy was sent off on the advice of a linesman but video evidence subsequently cleared him. However it didn't stop Monaghan suffering a heavy defeat on the day to Derry.

2005 was another memorable year for the county when they contested the Division 2 National Football League final against Meath at Croke Park. However it took a last gasp point from Paul Finlay in the final league game against Longford in Clones to earn a draw and automatic promotion to Division 1 for the first time in 18 years. The league semi final against Derry in Clones was also a thriller from a Monaghan perspective. A goal within 15 seconds of the throw in by Tommy Freeman set Monaghan on their way and despite Rory Woods being sent off Monaghan held out for a 1–13 to 1–11 win.

The NFL Division 2 final was a thrilling ding dong battle between two well match sides and was full of top drawer scores. It had the 40,000+ crowd on their feet from start to finish. Fortunes ebbed and flowed between both sides and in injury time Meath looked like holding onto a 2-point victory. However a Paul Finlay free with the last kick of the game (sounds familiar) from 40 yards out was deflected into the Meath net by a Meath player and Monaghan edged out 3–13 to 3-12 winners. This game preceded the National Football League final which saw Armagh overcome Wexford to gain their first league title. This marked Monaghan's first visit to Croke Park in 7 years, that resulting in a 1–12 to 0–08 defeat in a National Football League semi-final to Derry back in 1998.

Derry gained revenge in the Ulster Senior Football Championship with a 1–17 to 2–08 win, but "back door" wins over London, Wexford and Louth brought Monaghan to a last 12 meeting with eventual All-Ireland champions Tyrone in Croke Park. In a very entertaining game the tactic of isolating Tommy Freeman up front caused havoc for Tyrone in the first 25 minutes as they leaked 1-05, the goal a spectacular effort from Freeman. However a shrewd management move from Tyrone resulted in a player being brought back to double mark Freeman and the Farney threat was quashed. On the day Monaghan had no plan "B" and Tyrone took over. They ran out flattering 2–14 to 1-07 winners in the end, limiting Monaghan to a single point from a free in the second half. All the pre-match hype surrounded the question as to whether or not Tyrone's Ryan McMenamin would be playing, having been suspended following an incident in the Ulster final. He missed the game but later returned for the quarter-final against Dublin. Freeman's exploits in the summer of 2005 brought him an All-star nomination and an "Irish News" Ulster All star award on the "40".

2006 saw Monaghan compete in Division 1A of the National Football League but apart from a win over Dublin and a draw with Offaly, there was little else to celebrate despite battling displays against Kerry and Tyrone and relegation followed in the spring.

In the 2013 championship, Monaghan were handed a "favorable" draw. They were drawn against Antrim in the first round in Casement Park, Belfast. Monaghan had previously brushed aside the Antrim men in the National League. Monaghan started shakily and took a while to get going. They survived some scares but the free taking of Conor McManus powered them over the line 0–11 to 0–6. In the Ulster semi final Monaghan were pitted against local neighbours Cavan. The game was a tight affair with both teams trading scores tit for tat. In the end it finished on a score of 1–11 to 0-13. Coming into the final Monaghan faced the reigning Ulster and All Ireland Champions, Donegal. Nobody had given Monaghan a hope coming into the final but the Farney men took the Tir Chonaill boys by surprise rushing into a 4–0 lead while also keeping Donegal scoreless for 32 minutes. Drew Wylie and Colin Walshe were outstanding marking Colm McFadden and Paddy Mcbrearty respectively. At half time Monaghan led 05–02. Despite the 3 point advantage Donegal were still much fancied but Kieran Hughes stuck over 3 quick points in succession to buffer the Farney Men's advantage. With Vinny Corey's rough housing of Michael Murphy, Donegal failed to get going. Monaghan beat Donegal at their own game using the blanket defence system while Darren Hughes and Conor McManus remained outstanding. It was tight up until the last 10 minutes when Monaghan added some scores to put a gloss on the scoreline. Tommy Freeman one of the greatest servants of Monaghan coming off the bench and firing over the last point. At the end of the game Monaghan had won their first Ulster Senior Football Championship in 25 years. This result was coupled with the Minors superb comeback win earlier in the day defeating Tyrone to complete an historic double. Owen Lennon lifted the Anglo Celt Cup as no Monaghan Captain had done for 25 years.

Handball
In addition to football, handball (Gaelic handball) has a strong tradition within the county. Monaghan has enjoyed several major national successes in recent years in handball with Gavin Coyle winning three GAA Handball All Ireland 40×20 Singles titles over the past few years. Other notable Monaghan Handball players include Darren Doherty who has achieved several major titles over the last 10+ years. The sport of handball continues to grow within the county, with most GAA clubs providing GAA Handball facilities, namely in the form of 40x20, Wallball/One-wall and/or 60x30 handball courts. New handball courts have been built in recent years with Truagh Gaels GAA Club (new 40x20 court), Scotstown GAA Club (new Wallball court) & Bawn GAA Handball Club (new 40x20 court) all building new courts respectively. Additionally, St Macartan's College have recently refurbished their handball courts, boasting the only combined dual 60x30 and 40x20 handball courts facility in Ireland.

Red Square (novel)

Red Square is a crime novel by Martin Cruz Smith, primarily set in Moscow, Munich and Berlin between August 6 and August 21, 1991. It is a sequel to Gorky Park and Polar Star and features the Investigator Arkady Renko, taking place during the period of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Summary
As the existing social and economic structures of the Soviet Union break down, Arkady Renko has been reinstated as an Investigator in the Moscow Militsiya (Police Force). He is trying to clear up a nest of illicit traders when his chief informant dies in a horrific fireball. At the late informer's flat, his fax machine keeps asking the apparently meaningless question, "Where is Red Square?"

The question does not pertain to a location but to an avant-garde painting by suprematist painter Malevich which has resurfaced on the black market after being lost since World War II. The story, however, reverts to the August Coup, which takes place in and around Red Square and indeed throughout Moscow in August 1991, leading to the fragmentation of the former Soviet Union.

One of the subplots within this novel involves Arkady Renko's improbable reunion with the one great love of his life, Irina Asanova. Her seemingly total lack of interest in Arkady sends him resignedly on his way until, in an ultimate ironic twist, a belatedly-delivered message from Renko's recently deceased father galvanizes him into one last, determined attempt at winning Irina back.

Plot
Now back in Moscow, Arkady Renko struggles to keep the peace in a town overrun by organized crime and the economic recession caused by the death-throes of the Soviet Union. The lawlessness of the new Moscow is brought home to him when one of his informants, a Russian Jewish black marketer named Rudy Rosen, is killed by a fire bomb. Suspicion for the act is divided among each of the leading gangs, such as one led by a new Soviet "entrepreneur" or the ever troublesome Chechens.

Whilst looking over Rosen's apartment, Arkady is confused by an incoming fax asking "where is Red Square?", as well as several connections to Germany, specifically Munich. He also is amazed to hear the voice of Irina Asanova, his long lost love from Gorky Park, announcing for the recently unblocked American propaganda station Radio Liberty, operating out of Munich. Uncovering more and more connections to Germany, and once again facing suppression at home - including the killing of his partner - Arkady manages to coerce the prosecutor to allow him to go to the recently reunified Germany, in an unofficial capacity.

He looks up leads in the Rosen case, as well as trying to re-connect with Irina, but finds she wants nothing to do with him. He soon enters a strained but beneficial relationship with a German police officer called Peter Schiller, who describes his grandfather's escapades as one of Heinrich Himmler's art collectors, particularly of revolutionary avant garde Russian art, presently persecuted by the Soviet regime. Arkady finds himself a rival in Max Albov, Irina's colleague at Radio Liberty, whom he had previously encountered in Moscow and starts to suspect of involvement with Rosen. Irina repents of her dislike for Arkady, after learning that he had not been living as the spoiled apparatchik he had been portrayed, and awkwardly all three of them head for Berlin. At an art exhibition, the avant garde piece by Malevich called "Red Square" is proudly shown to audiences. Increasingly finding his present company intertwined with the case, Arkady realizes that he has stumbled across a vast, and deadly, art smuggling operation.

In an effort to silence him, Arkady is framed in the death of the Chechen leader Makhmud and has to dodge the inevitable reprisal. Arranging to get the painting, Arkady and Irina head back to Moscow - well aware of the staged coup of Communist Party hard-liners. He arranges a swap, knowing full well that it is a trap. During a fire-fight in rural Moscow where the stash of paintings are kept, both he and Max escape, and settle into the confusion of the coup and protests. Arkady finds himself cornered, but is saved by Chechen gang members who have learned the real cause of their leader's death. Together with Irina again, they stand with the other protesters and press as tanks march towards Russia's new impromptu parliament, the White House.

Sa'id I ibn Idris

Sa'id I ibn Idris (760–803) (سعيد بن ادريس الأول) was emir of Nekor. He moved the capital from Temsaman to Nekor. The city was later sacked by the Normans, who took many prisoners, a few of whom were ransomed by the Umayyad ruler of Spain. Later, part of the Ghomara tribe revolted, led by a person called Segguen; their revolt was defeated.

Sa'id I ibn Idris is the ancestor of the Berber Jebala people of Tangier, Tétouan and Chefchaouen.
