Joey Jay

Joseph Richard Jay (born August 15, 1935) is an American former professional baseball starting pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from  through , Jay played for the Milwaukee Braves (1953–, –), Cincinnati Reds (–1966) and Atlanta Braves (1966). He was a switch-hitter and threw right-handed.

In a 13-season big league career, Jay posted a 99–91 win-loss record, with 999 strikeouts, and a 3.77 earned run average (ERA), in 1546.1 innings.

In July 2008, he was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.

Bonus Baby

In addition to being the first Little League player to advance to the major leagues, Jay was one of the first "bonus baby" players in the major leagues.  This resulted when he signed a significant contract ($20,000) with the Braves, which forced the Braves to keep Jay on their major league roster for two seasons because of the contract's amount.  On September 20, 1953, at the age of 17, making his first career start (having pitched only one game in relief previous), he pitched a seven-inning complete game shutout (the game was shortened due to rain), but generally was unremarkable in his two years with the team. Following the end of his two years, he was sent to the minors to gain experience on a staff that already was loaded with Hall of Famer Warren Spahn, Bob Buhl and Lew Burdette.  Jay went 7–5 with an ERA of 2.14 in 18 games for the Braves in his best season (1958), becoming the first pitcher (fourth player overall) to win the NL Player of the Month award in July (going 5-2 in 7 starts, posting an ERA of 1.39, and earning 46 SO in 58.1 IP) but a broken finger kept him out of the World Series.

Second Chance with Cincinnati

The Braves traded Jay to the Cincinnati Reds after the 1960 season for infielder Roy McMillan. Braves General Manager at the time, John McHale, reportedly made the deal based on the feeling that Carl Willey could do a better job for Milwaukee than Jay.

Jay took full advantage of the trade, as he became a key figure in the Reds' stunning revival in 1961.  Jay won 21 games (the first Red to win 20 since Ewell Blackwell in 1947), tied for the league lead in wins and shutouts, and won his second NL Player of the Month award in May (winning all six starts including a 4 May one-hitter against the Phillies, a 2.72 ERA, and 38 SO in 51.2 IP) as the Reds surged to their first National League pennant since 1940. However, the Reds faced a powerful New York Yankees that won 109 games and featured Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford, as the Reds lost in five game. However, the lone Reds' win occurred in Game 2, a 6-2 victory as Jay threw a complete-game four-hitter at Yankee Stadium. Jay's single-game career highlight.

On May 1, 1962, at the Polo Grounds, off New York Mets pitcher Sherman Jones, Jay hit a three-run HR (base runners were Wally Post and Leo Cárdenas), in the 6th inning, for his first MLB home run.  At Crosley Field, on May 28, 1962, Jay hit his only other career home run, off Houston Colt .45s pitcher Bobby Tiefenauer, in the 5th inning, a two-run blast (Don Zimmer was on base).

Jay also won 21 games in 1962 as the Reds won 98 games to finish in third-place behind the Giants and Dodgers. Jay's heavy workload in 1961 and '62 took a toll the following year as he struggled to a 7–18 record. Jay posted a (11-11) in 1964 as the Reds finished a single game behind the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals. He would finish his career by returning to the Braves for their initial season in Atlanta in 1966.

If You Go Away (New Kids on the Block song)

"If You Go Away" is a song by pop group New Kids on the Block (although the group was credited under the moniker of NKOTB on the jacket.)  Released as a stand-alone single on 1992, the only new song on the compilation H.I.T.S., it was later included on their 1994 album Face the Music. Written by John Bettis, Trey Lorenz and Walter Afanasieff, the latter of whom also served as the songs producer. Lead vocals are shared by Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre, with a spoken word by Danny Wood. It was, at that point, the first song the group put out after having split with longtime manager and producer Maurice Starr.

Reception
The song returned the group to the US top twenty, peaking at number sixteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the UK Singles Chart, and was a commercial rebound for the group after having seen its three previous songs all fail to reach the top forty. The group performed the song on The Arsenio Hall Show, while addressing an alleged lip-synching controversy. The single was the group's last hit until the release of the top 40 hit "Summertime" in 2008, and to date remains its final top twenty entry.

Sweet Dreams (1985 film)

Sweet Dreams is a 1985 American biographical film which tells the story of country music singer Patsy Cline.

The film was written by Robert Getchell and directed by Karel Reisz. It stars Jessica Lange, Ed Harris, Ann Wedgeworth, David Clennon, James Staley, Gary Basaraba, John Goodman, and P. J. Soles.

The film was nominated for Academy Award for Best Actress (Jessica Lange). For all the musical sequences, Lange lip-synced to the original Patsy Cline recordings. The soundtrack of the same name was released in September 1985. This film has developed a cult following based on Lange’s acclaimed performance.

Plot
Patsy Cline (Jessica Lange) is unhappily married and playing small-time gigs in the tri-state area consisting of Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland when she meets Charlie Dick (Ed Harris), whose charm and aggressive self-confidence catch her attention. Patsy is married but is planning to divorce. After her divorce, Patsy and Charlie marry, and she is free to pursue music, and focus on raising their children. After Charlie gets drafted into the U.S. Army, Patsy focuses on singing more, and after joining forces with manager Randy Hughes, Patsy becomes a rising star on the country music scene.

However, Patsy's success fuels her self-confidence, much to Charlie's annoyance, and he becomes increasingly physically and emotionally abusive as Patsy attempts to assert her independence. Patsy was at the peak of her popularity as one of the first great female stars of country music when she died in a plane crash on March 5, 1963, at the age of 30.

Non-factual differences (inaccuracies)
For the scenes at an Army post, supposedly Fort Bragg, North Carolina, filming took place at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, instead. Other scenes were shot in Nashville, Tennessee, Martinsburg, West Virginia and Hagerstown, Maryland.

Many of the sequences depicted in the film are inaccurate:

Patsy and her brother were not on their way to pick up beer when she nearly lost her life in a 1961 car crash. They were on their way to pick up material for her mother, a seamstress, to make her new stage clothes. The car crash happened on June 14, not in the winter.
Patsy's husband, Charlie Dick, and their daughter, Julie, have both stated that Charlie had never hit Patsy in front of their daughter. Charlie has said that he had slapped Patsy only once for becoming hysterical  Patsy's relatives have said that Patsy is portrayed more as a victim than she really was. "Their fights were always interesting to watch because you always knew Patsy would win", claimed friend Dottie West. However, other family members insist that Patsy was very badly beaten and sent to a hospital on numerous occasions.
Patsy's airplane crashed at 6:20 p.m. in a forest—not into a mountain cliff—near Camden, Tennessee. (There is no mountain at all in West Tennessee.)
The plane crashed because of pilot disorientation during bad weather, not due to difficulties in restarting the engine after switching from an empty fuel tank to a full one. Randy Hughes (Patsy's manager and the pilot of the aircraft), who was not instrument-rated, became disoriented in the inclement weather and eventually lost control.
The aircraft in the crash was a Piper Comanche, not a Cessna 172 Skyhawk, as in the film.
Patsy's mother, the late Hilda Hensley, once stated: "They [the producers] told me that they were going to make a love story. I saw the film once. That was enough."

Ed Harris as Charlie Dick, Patsy's husband

Reception

As of December 2018, the film holds a rating of 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 20 reviews.

Piano quartet

A piano quartet is a chamber music composition for piano and three other instruments, or a musical ensemble comprising such instruments.  Those other instruments are usually a string trio consisting of a violin, viola and cello.

Piano quartets for that standard lineup were written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Schumann, Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, Antonín Dvořák and Gabriel Fauré among others. In the 20th century, composers have also written for more varied groups, with Anton Webern's Quartet, opus 22 (1930), for example, being for piano, violin, clarinet and tenor saxophone, and Paul Hindemith's quartet (1938) as well as Olivier Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps (1940) both for piano, violin, cello and clarinet. An early example of this can be found in Franz Berwald's quartet for piano, horn, clarinet and bassoon (1819), his opus 1.

A rare form of piano quartets consist of two pianos with two players at each piano. This type of ensemble is informally referred to as "eight-hand piano", or "two piano eight hands". Eight-hand piano was popular in the late 19th century before the advent of recordings as it was a mechanism to reproduce and study symphonic works. Music lovers could hear the major symphonic works all in the convenience of a parlour or music hall that had two pianos and four pianists. Many of the popular works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Antonín Dvořák were transcribed for two piano eight hands. The majority of 8 hand piano music consists of transcriptions, or arrangements.

Volvo PV 36 Carioca

The Volvo PV 36 Carioca is a luxury car manufactured by Volvo Cars between 1935 and 1938. The word Carioca describes someone from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was also the name of a dance that was fashionable in Sweden at the time when the car was introduced.

Visually the car was styled similarly to the then strikingly modern Chrysler Airflow.  Volvo styling was heavily influenced by North American auto-design trends in the 1930s and 1940s, many of the company's senior engineers having previously worked in the US Auto-industry.

The PV36 was the first Volvo to offer an independent front suspension, but the car used the same side-valve engine as the traditional Volvo cars that were still produced alongside the modern Carioca. The PV36 was an expensive car, with a price at 8,500 kronor and Volvo didn't build more than 500 cars. The last one wasn't sold until 1938.

Alfonso Cusi

Alfonso "Al" Gaba Cusi (born December 4, 1949) is a Filipino businessman and politician from Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. He is the 14th Secretary of Energy under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. He is also the Vice Chairman of PDP–Laban and served in the Arroyo Administration as head of government air and sea transportation agencies from 2001 to 2010.

Early life and education
Cusi was born in the municipality of Roxas in the then undivided island province of Mindoro. He was educated at the University of St. La Salle in Bacolod (then known as La Salle College Bacolod), earning a Bachelor of Science degree in 1972. He also attended the University of the Philippines Cebu in Cebu City and received a Master of Business Administration in 1976.

Career and businesses
Cusi started his career in shipping. He joined the Aboitiz Shipping Company (now 2GO Group) in 1973 as Assistant Comptroller. He worked his way up to become the company's and its subsidiaries' Credit Collection Manager, Purchasing Manager, Passage and Stevedorial Manager, and Trucking Manager. By 1977, he was promoted as Assistant to the President, and eventually as Assistant Vice President in 1979, Vice President in 1983, and General Manager and EVP in 1985. He was Senior Vice President and Director before resigning from the company in 1990.

Cusi then ventured into his own shipping, logistics and distribution businesses. He founded the Starlite Ferries which offers roll-on/roll-off ferry service between his home province Mindoro and Batangas, as well as Aklan. He is also the President and founder of Starlite Cargo Xpress. He also entered the retail business with his own chain of convenience stores called Quick Stop.

With his broad experience and knowledge in the shipping and transportation industry, he was invited to join government service in 2001 as General Manager of the Philippine Ports Authority during the first  term of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. As head of the port authority, he is credited with having introduced and developed seaport terminals throughout the country. He was also the main project head of the Strong Republic Nautical Highway System of the Arroyo administration. In 2004, Cusi was then assigned by Arroyo to lead the Manila International Airport Authority. As an airport manager, he was responsible for finally opening the long-delayed Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in 2008.

Cusi assumed leadership of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) in March 2010. Among his contributions to the agency is regaining the Category 1 status of the Philippine aviation industry from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which finally allowed Philippine carriers to fly to the United States and Europe.

Cusi resigned from CAAP in December 2010 and returned to his private businesses. He served in the board of Intex Resources Philippines which has a nickel and cobalt mining project in his home province of Oriental Mindoro. He was also involved in Double Concept Investments, Ltd. prior to his return to government service under President Rodrigo Duterte on June 30, 2016.

The Witch's Head

The Witch's Head is the second novel by H. Rider Haggard, which he wrote just prior to King Solomon's Mines.

Background
Haggard wrote the novel following his debut effort Dawn. He was unable to find any magazine that would serialise the story, but it was accepted for publication by the firm that had put out Dawn. Haggard later wrote that "although, except for the African part, it is not in my opinion so good a story as Dawn, it was extremely well received and within certain limits very successful." The 1893 edition was illustrated by Charles H. M. Kerr.

Reception
The book was a minor success, earning Haggard a profit of fifty pounds.

Haggard later named his daughter Dorothy after the heroine in the novel.

Alfred Jaëll

Alfred Jaëll (5 March 183227 February 1882) was an Austrian pianist. His students included Benjamin Johnson Lang and Samuel Sanford (the eponym of the Sanford Medal).

Life
He was born in Trieste, then in the Austrian Empire.  He studied under Carl Czerny and began his public career at the age of 11, appearing at the Teatro San Benedetto, Venice, in 1843.  The following year he studied with Ignaz Moscheles in Vienna.  In 1845 and 1846 he lived in Brussels, then Paris.  According to one source, he was a student of Chopin, and according to another, he was a student of Liszt; however, most sources make no mention of these associations.

Jaëll made a tour of the United States, which was so successful that he stayed for three years, from 1851 to 1854.  He made his New York City debut on 15 November 1851, to ecstatic reviews. At his second concert on 22 November, he introduced Adelina Patti to the American public.  He also gave recitals with Ole Bull.  He was generally acknowledged to be the finest pianist ever to have visited North America up to that time.  He took some of Louis Moreau Gottschalk’s works into his repertoire and helped to popularise them. He returned to Europe in 1854.  He was made court pianist to the King of Hanover in 1855. He performed in London in 1862 and 1866.

In 1866 he married Marie Trautmann, a French pianist and writer of pedagogical works.   They toured together, performing their own works as well as the standard repertoire. He was one of Henryk Wieniawski’s accompanists for his famous performances of Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata.  He was the soloist in the London premiere of Joachim Raff’s Piano Concerto in 1875.

Alfred Jaëll died suddenly in Paris in 1882, aged only 49, leaving Marie a 35-year-old widow.   He left a number of "extremely effective" transcriptions from Wagner, Schumann and Mendelssohn, as well as original compositions, all now forgotten.

Jethro in rabbinic literature

Allusions in rabbinic literature to the Biblical character Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, contain various expansions, elaborations and inferences beyond what is presented in the text of the Bible itself.

His names

One puzzle for the Talmudists was the difference in names presented at  and , compared to : some thought that his real name was "Hobab" and that Reuel was his father (see Hobab); others thought that his name was "Reuel", interpreting it "the friend of God" (see Jethro—Biblical Data, and comp. the view of some modern scholars, who hold that his name was "Reuel," and that "Jethro" was a title, "his Excellency").

According to Shimon bar Yochai, he had two names, "Hobab" and "Jethro" (Sifre, Num. 78). It became, however, generally accepted that he had seven names: "Reuel", "Jether", "Jethro", "Hobab", "Heber", "Keni" (comp. Judges i. 16, iv. 11), and "Putiel"; Eleazar's father-in-law (Ex. vi. 25) being identified with Jethro by interpreting his name either as "he who abandoned idolatry" or as "who fattened calves for the sake of sacrifices to the idol" (Ex. R. xxvii. 7; Mek., Yitro, 'Amaleḳ, 1; Tan., Shemot, 11; comp. Targ. pseudo-Jonathan to Ex. vi. 25 and Soṭah 44a).

Previous life
According to the Talmud, Jethro together with Balaam and Job was consulted by Pharaoh as to the means for exterminating the children of Israel; and as he dissuaded Pharaoh from his design, he was recompensed in that his descendants, the Rechabites, sat with the Sanhedrin in the Temple (Talmud Sanhedrin. 106a; Ex. R. i. 12; comp. I Chron. ii. 55). In Exodus Rabba 27.5 it is said that Jethro and Amalek were consulted by Pharaoh, and that both advised him to throw the male children into the river; but, seeing that Amalek was excluded from both this and the future life (comp. Ex. xvii. 14), Jethro repented. Some commentators maintain that when Pharaoh asked his advisors about how to go about outsmarting/exterminating Israel, Jethro promptly fled the scene while Job remained silent and Balaam suggested to enslave them.

R. Joshua and R. Eleazar ha-Moda'i disagree as to Jethro's position in Midian: according to one, the words kohen Midyan mean that he was the "priest [of] Midian"; according to the other, "prince [of] Midian" (Mek. l.c.; Exodus Rabba 27.2). The opinion that Jethro was a priest is met with in Exodus Rabba 1.35 and in Tan., Yitro, 5.

It is further said (Exodus Rabba l.c.) that Jethro, having remarked that the worship of an idol was foolish, abandoned it. The Midianites therefore excommunicated him, and none would keep his flocks; so that his daughters were compelled to tend them and were ill-treated by the shepherds. This, however, is in conflict with another statement, to the effect that Jethro gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses on condition that their first son should be brought up in the worship of idols, and that Moses swore to respect this condition (Mek. l.c.; Yalk., Ex. 169).

Whether Jethro went to the wilderness before or after the Torah was given, and consequently what it was that induced him to go to the wilderness, are disputed points among the ancient rabbis (Zeb. 116a; Yer. Meg. i. 11; Mek. l.c.). According to some, it was the giving of the Torah; according to others, the crossing of the Red Sea dry-shod, or the falling of the manna.

Honored by Moses

The manner in which Jethro announced his arrival to Moses is also variously indicated. According to Rabbi Eliezer, Jethro sent a messenger; according to Rabbi Joshua, he wrote a letter and tied it to an arrow which he shot into the camp. Moses did not go out alone to meet his father-in-law; but was accompanied by Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel to honor Jethro. Some say that even the Shekinah itself went out to meet him (Mek. l.c.; Tan., Yitro, 6).

The words wa-yihad Yitro (Exodus 18.9), generally translated "and Jethro rejoiced," are interpreted by the Talmudists as "he circumcised himself"; or "he felt a stinging in his flesh"; that is to say, he was sorry for the loss of the Egyptians, his former coreligionists. By an interchange of the ח with the ה, the phrase would read wa-yihad, meaning "he became a Jew" (Tan., Yitro, 5).

Religion
Jethro was the first to utter a benediction to God for the wonders performed by Him for the Israelites (comp. Exodus xviii. 10). Such a thing had not been done either by Moses or by any of the Israelites (Sanh. l.c.; Mek. l.c. 2). Jethro knew that God was greater than all the gods (comp. Ex. xviii. 11), because he had previously worshiped all the idols of the world (Mek. l.c.; Tan. l.c.); but at the same time he did not deny to idols all divine power (Yalk., Ex. 269). According to Rabbi Joshua, Moses purposely sent Jethro away so he would not be present at the revelation of the Law (comp. Exodus 18.27, Hebr.).

Kia Kima Scout Reservation

Kia Kima Scout Reservation  is a nationally accredited Boy Scouts of America summer camp outside Hardy, Arkansas owned by the Chickasaw Council. The camp was founded in 1916 by Bolton Smith. The name "Kia Kima" means "Home of the Eagles" in the Zuni language (commonly translated as "Nest of Eagles"). Summer camp program at Kia Kima generally begins during the 2nd week of June and runs through the second week of July. A Cub and Webelos Resident Camp is generally offered during the first week in June. There is also a winter camp offered which starts after Christmas and lasts several days. The original property, Old Kia Kima, is listed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places.

History
Bolton Smith, an investment banker from Memphis, Tennessee and the first president of the Chickasaw Council, purchased and donated the original  Kia Kima site on April 11, 1916. He went on to serve as Vice President of the Boy Scouts of America and received the Silver Buffalo Award. The property consisted of a bluff overlooking the South Fork Spring River in Sharp County, Arkansas, near Hardy (in present day Cherokee Village). At the time the Hardy area was a popular vacation area for Memphis families.

The camp opened under the name Kamp Kia Kima for its first summer camp season in 1916. Edward Everett, the first Chickasaw Council Scout Executive, served as the camp director. Everett's wife served as the director of a nearby girl's vacation camp (future YWCA camp), Camp Miramichee.

Scouts came to camp as individuals and were then were sorted into "tribes" and assigned a stone lodge to live in. Activities included hiking, baseball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, canoeing, observation, and Scout drills.

During World War II the Chickasaw Council moved their summer camp program to Camp Currier in Eudora, Mississippi due to the declining attendance and increased costs. A Camp Director was still hired to maintain Kia Kima and during the 1940 summer six boys and two leaders camped there. In 1941 the Eastern Arkansas Area Council leased and operated Kia Kima, but later declined to purchase it citing the large financial drain it would place on their Council. In 1947 a group of alumni formed the Kia Kima Klub and began fundraising to reopen the camp. They were successful and Kia Kima reopened in 1948. The Chickasah Lodge in the Order of the Arrow was also founded at Kia Kima that year.

Over the next two decades the attendance increased at Kia Kima and more Units began to attend as opposed to individuals. Kia Kima is also credited with helping develop the local tourist economy and also attracting other camps to the area including Kamp Kiwani (now located in Middleton, TN) and the former Camp Cedar Valley. Because of the local historic significance and the distinctive rustic style architecture, Old Kia Kima is listed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places.

West Memphis, Arkansas businessman John Cooper bought property in the Hardy area after dropping his son off at camp. In 1953 he then formed the Cherokee Village Development Company and began developing the  Cherokee Village retirement community. By the early 1960s Cherokee Village had already exceeded the capacity and the CVDC needed more land. In the fall of 1963, Cooper proposed to exchange a  tract a few miles upriver outside Cherokee Village for the  of the original property. In addition, the CVDC would build a dining hall, water system, other buildings, roads and a lake for the new camp. After deliberation, the offer was accepted and work began immediately on the new camp Kia Kima in February 1964 and the new camp was ready for its first camping season the summer of that year.

In 1965 with the completion of John A. Cooper Lake by the Cherokee Village Development Company, Camp Cherokee opened across the river from Main Kamp (later renamed Camp Osage).

In 1976 the name was officially changed to "Kia Kima Scout Reservation" from the original "Kamp Kia Kima" to indicate the presence of multiple camps under the umbrella name of Kia Kima.

Kia Kima expanded to include a third camp in 1995 with the creation of the Ozark Venture Base with programs designed for older Scouts and Venturers.

Camps

The Reservation is split into three camps: Camp Osage, Camp Cherokee, and the Ozark Venture Base. There are also several areas that are not part of a specific camp such as the Golightly All-Faiths Chapel, the McGuire-Von Almen Friendship Circle, the shooting sports range, and the climbing tower.

Camp Osage
Camp Osage was originally the main camp and opened in 1964. It is the larger of the camps at Kia Kima Scout Reservation with 15 campsites. Camp Osage offers traditional camp programs including nature, ecology, Scoutcraft, handicraft, shooting sports, the trailblazer 1st year program, and aquatics. All aquatic activities, including swimming and boating, are held at the Osage waterfront on the South Fork Spring River. All meals in Camp Osage are served in the dining hall.

Osage offers a modern trading post which supplies campers with program supplies for merit badges, snacks, and Kia Kima memorabilia. Three shower facilities are offered on camp: Central, East, and West. Osage is also home to Kia Kima's administration building. In 2015 following a major Capital Campaign, a new larger Dining Hall was completed.

Camp Cherokee
Camp Cherokee was established in 1965 as an "outpost camp". All troops that camp in Cherokee retrieve their meals from the centralized commissary and prepare the food in their campsites. Cherokee is smaller than Camp Osage with 10 campsites. Cherokee is home to John A. Cooper Lake, the site of its waterfront, which includes small boat sailing, motorboating, and other merit badges available only at Cherokee.

Ozark Venture Base
Established in 1995, the Ozark Venture Base includes COPE, a mountain man living history program, a sea kayaking program on Lake Ouachita, and a trek program. Several of the programs take place off of the Reservation and Scouts only stay in the Base on the first and last days in the program. For COPE and Mountain Man, Scouts still camp with their Troops in either Osage or Cherokee.

Alumni Organizations
Two adult organizations have formed independent from the Chickasaw Council to support Kia Kima. Both groups are 501(c)3 charitable organizations.

The first organization is the Old Kia Kima Preservation Association which was formed in 1996 to purchase and restore the original Kia Kima property. Since then extensive work has been done to renovate Old Kia Kima and reopen it for camping by youth groups. Because of the work of the OKKPA, Old Kia Kima was able to be listed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places.

The second organization is the Kia Kima Alumni Association founded in 2015. The KKAA performs different service projects at Kia Kima Scout Reservation and hosts reunions throughout the year.

Gladiator (1992 film)

Gladiator is a 1992 American sports drama film directed by Rowdy Herrington, and starring Cuba Gooding Jr., James Marshall, Brian Dennehy, and Robert Loggia. The film tells the story of two teenagers trapped in the world of illegal underground boxing. One is fighting to pay off gambling debts accumulated by his father. The second is fighting for the money to get out of the ghetto. While being exploited by a boxing promoter, the two teens become friends.

Plot
Tommy Riley and his father have just moved to start a new life. Tommy's father has accumulated many gambling debts but has found a new job that requires him to travel extensively, leaving his son alone at home. Tommy also has a hard time fitting in at school, having crossed gang members. He takes a job at a local diner and enters into a romantic relationship with Dawn, the daughter of the owner, but is jumped by the gang members outside the restaurant. Seeing how well Tommy is able to fight, a local boxing promoter by the name of Pappy Jack offers Tommy a chance to fight in an illegal underground boxing operation. When two men arrive announcing that Tommy's father owes a large sum of money to pay off gambling debts, Jack convinces his boss, boxing promoter Jimmy Horn to buy out the debt, which forces Tommy to pay off his father's debts by boxing.

Tommy enjoys a great deal of success and develops a friendship with Romano and Abraham "Lincoln" Haines, two fellow fighters. However, he continues to be harassed by gang members, and discovers that two of them, "Black Death" and "Short Cut" are boxers who fight dirty, using elbows, kicks, knees, and low blows, and counting on the crooked refs to overlook the clear violations.  Tommy defeats Black Death in the ring, but Short Cut hides a fluid in his gloves, which he uses to blind Romano during a match.  Unable to defend himself, Romano is brutally beaten in the ring and is declared brain dead by the doctors.  Short Cut later tries the same trick on Tommy, but Tommy has learned to fight dirty, and defeats Short Cut.

Meanwhile, Lincoln shows signs of possible brain damage and is told to quit fighting for at least 60 days or else suffer permanent brain damage.  Despite this, Horn arranges a match between Lincoln and Tommy.  Afraid of killing Lincoln, Tommy takes a beating until the two are unwilling to continue the match.  In revenge, Horn, a former boxer who retired undefeated, punches Lincoln severely enough to knock him out of the ring.

Furious, Tommy challenges Horn to a match.  If Horn wins, Tommy will continue to work for him indefinitely, but if Tommy wins, his father's debt is wiped clean.  Horn accepts on the condition that they fight bare-knuckle. Horn's vast experience with boxing initially gives him the upper hand, and Horn's confidence influences him to play with and humiliate Tommy as a result. Tommy eventually uses the various forms of advice he has received throughout his brief boxing experience to outthink Horn: he fakes a broken hand to give Horn even more confidence, and then uses the element of surprise to defeat Horn, freeing himself from Horn's contract.

Purwoto Gandasubrata

Purwoto Gandasubrata was the eighth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Indonesia. Alongside the Ministry of Justice officials in the Sixth Development Cabinet, Gandasubrata was a part of a general return of civilian officials to the judiciary of Indonesia in the early 1990s after a period of former military officials dominating the branch from the late 1970s. Gandasubrata had initially served as the chief of the district court of Semarang, as well as the chairman of the regional branch of the Indonesian Judges Association.

Gandasubrata was the first Chief Justice appointed from the professional judiciary since Umar Seno Aji. During his two years in the position, much of his efforts were spent on attempts to increase the autonomy, power, and status of the judicial branch of government. On the occasion of his retirement in 1994, Gandasubrata announced a 100% salary increase for Indonesian judges in a move that was seen as a parting gift. The increase was later offset by a 45% reduction in benefits enacted by the government.

O Julissi

"O Julissi" also known as "O Julissi Na Jalini" is a song by the Belgian six-piece band Ishtar. The swing influenced song represented Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 first semi-final in Belgrade, but missed out on qualification to the grand final.

"O Julissi" was released as a single on 14 March 2008, and the song entered the Belgian Ultratop at #7. In its second week, "O Julissi" topped the list.

Ishtar's song was elected after they won the final of Eurosong 2008. Ishtar, until then an unknown band, defeated better known artists, like pop singers Sandrine and Brahim. The other contestants in the final were rock group Paranoiacs and Nelson, who had written a ballad.

Ishtar performed their song during the semi-finals on 20 May 2008 but did not qualify to the final.

It is sung entirely in Ukrainian-influenced imaginary language.

Date with an Angel

Date with an Angel is a 1987 American romantic fantasy comedy film starring Emmanuelle Béart, Phoebe Cates and Michael E. Knight. The film was written and directed by Tom McLoughlin. The original music score was composed by Randy Kerber. The visual effects were produced at Boss Film Studios under the supervision of Visual Effects Supervisor Richard Edlund. The film was marketed with the tagline "Jim is about to marry a princess... but he's in love with an angel."

Plot synopsis
Date with an Angel tells the story of Jim Sanders, an executive at a cosmetics company, about to marry Patty Winston, the spoiled daughter of Jim's employer. Jim unknowingly has a brain tumor, and his headaches have gotten worse. It is suggested that he will die, and an angel arrives on the scene, given the task of bringing Jim's soul back to heaven on the night of his engagement party.

After his three buddies, George, Don and Rex, kidnap Jim to take him to another celebration at his home, Jim decides that he has had enough of partying and goes to sleep. Jim later awakes to see a bright light illuminating from his apartment's swimming pool--and discovers an angel knocked unconscious after one of her wings was broken due to colliding with an orbiting satellite. Not wanting to see her be exploited and unable to get the local priest to listen (he thinks Jim is about to do something lewd when he attempts to disrobe the Angel to reveal her wings), Jim decides to keep her shielded from the world while he helps repair her wings. This proves difficult, as the Angel is unable to speak in human language (though she has no trouble understanding it), and is unaccustomed to the limitations/requirements of life as a mortal. However, she does develop a taste for French fries.

Inevitably, his buddies and his boss both discover her in his house; so does Patty, who—not seeing the Angel's wings—thinks that she is a mortal woman having an affair with Jim. Patty later sees the Angel and Jim together on television—Wings still under wraps—as he rescues her from being exposed to the world by his buddies, who had kidnapped her.

They later escape to Jim's former childhood hideaway. In a short time, the Angel's wing is fully healed, allowing her to take flight and return to the pearly gates. However, drunk and delusional, Patty starts chasing Jim with a shotgun; her father, Jim's father, stepmother, and his buddies also arrive to confront him. Amid the chaos, Jim's uncontrollable headaches cause him to collapse to the ground, but the Angel returns to save him, using harmless but frighteningly-placed lightning bolts to drive away Patty and her father, never to return.

Later, in the hospital, Jim's brain tumor gets worse and his situation appears grim. The Angel comes back to see him, finally confirming that it was her original intention to take him to heaven. Instead, she saves him, and in the process is allowed to return to earth as a mortal woman, now able to speak English. She is now a nurse at the hospital. She kisses Jim after assuring him that he will be around and that they will be together for a long time, humorously stating that she has that information "from the highest authority".

Heinrich von Vietinghoff

Heinrich Gottfried Otto Richard von Vietinghoff genannt Scheel (6 December 1887 – 23 February 1952) was a German general (Generaloberst) of the Wehrmacht during World War II. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves. Vietinghoff commanded the German troops in German-occupied Italy in 1945.

Military career
On 24 November 1938, Vietinghoff was appointed commander of the 5th Panzer Division and took part in the invasion of Poland under Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb. He was promoted to General in June 1940 after which he led the German XLVI Panzer Corps in the invasion of Yugoslavia.

During Operation Barbarossa, his Corps was part of Army Group Centre under Field Marshal Fedor von Bock. As all commanders of the German corps on the Eastern Front during the invasion, Vietinghoff implemented the criminal Commissar Order. Vietinghoff also later served with General Heinz Guderian in the 2nd Panzer Army.

From December 1941 to August 1943, he was Commander-in-Chief of the German Fifteenth Army in France. In Italy from August 1943 he commanded German Tenth Army, which was responsible for the delaying actions through the successive defensive lines built across Italy. Notable in this context were the defences on the Winter Line from November 1943 to May 1944 and the fighting in the autumn of 1944 on the Gothic Line.

In October 1944, he was temporarily raised to overall command in Italy (Army Group C) when Field Marshal Albert Kesselring was seriously injured in a car crash. In January 1945, on Kesselring's return, he left Italy to command Army Group Courland in East Prussia. When Kesselring was moved in March 1945 to command German Army Command West (OB West) in France, Vietinghoff returned as the supreme German commander in Italy.

At the end of April 1945, he made contact with the Allied forces and on 29 April, his representative General Karl Wolff  signed on his behalf at the Royal Palace in Caserta the instrument of surrender on 2 May 1945 at noon. Afterwards he spent two and a half years in British captivity at Bridgend Island Farm (Special Camp XI) among high-ranking German prisoners. He was released in September 1947.

After the war Vietinghoff was a member of the expert group dealing with the question of German rearmament. In October 1950 he wrote the Himmerod memorandum, named after the Himmerod Abbey where it was written, on behalf of the Adenauer government, on West German contributions to European defence. He died on 23 February 1952 in Pfronten.

Kiki and Herb

Kiki and Herb (Justin Bond and Kenny Mellman) are an American drag cabaret duo. Bond portrays Kiki DuRane, an aging, alcoholic, female lounge singer. Mellman portrays her gay, male piano accompanist, known only as "Herb."

Although Bond and Mellman are only in their late forties and early fifties, their characters are, according to their elaborate fictional biographies, more than eighty years old.

Overview

First wave: 1989 - 2004
Bond and Mellman began performing together in 1989, and created the characters of Kiki and Herb in the early 1990s in San Francisco.

Their act alternates between musical numbers and long, seemingly inebriated monologues by Kiki. The musical numbers, often medleys, draw on an enormous range of popular music, from Broadway musicals to Nirvana and from Britney Spears to REO Speedwagon.  They have also covered songs by Suicidal Tendencies, The Mountain Goats and Butt Trumpet.

Although both performers live in New York City, the pair have performed in American cities from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., as well as in Europe.

In 1995-1996 Kiki and Herb appeared regularly at "Cowgirl Hall of Fame" in Greenwich Village, where they honed their show and built their fanbase.  Among the devotees was John Cameron Mitchell (who later included Justin in his 2006 movie, Shortbus).

In 1998, the duo appeared at the first Gay Shame event, held at DUMBA in Brooklyn, and appear briefly in the short documentary film made by Scott Berry of the event entitled Gay Shame '98.

In 1999, they performed weekly in Have Another at the Fez and received their first New York Times review.

In 2000, they released their first album, a Christmas record called Do You Hear What We Hear? It is currently out of print.

In 2001, they received an Obie Award for their show Kiki and Herb: Jesus Wept.

In 2004, the duo appeared in a cameo role in the feature film Imaginary Heroes, released that year by Sony Pictures and starring, among others, Emile Hirsch, Jeff Daniels, and Sigourney Weaver. Kiki and Herb appear at a Christmas party attended by the main characters and perform an excerpt from Tonight's the Kind of Night, the final track from their Christmas LP, Do You Hear What We Hear?

The same year, Kiki and Herb gave a "farewell" performance at New York City's Carnegie Hall.
The one-night-only show was titled Kiki and Herb Will Die for You and featured a number of celebrities, including Sandra Bernhard, Isaac Mizrahi, Jake Shears, Michael Cavadias, and Rufus Wainwright. The show was recorded, and released as a two-disc album, titled Kiki and Herb Will Die for You: Live at Carnegie Hall.

After the performance, the duo took a break and worked on other projects; Bond moved to London to study scenography, while Mellman worked in New York.

Second coming: 2004 - 2008
Their retirement didn't last long, however. In 2005, the duo reunited for a tour of select U.S. cities titled The Resurrection Tour. A European tour followed, which included a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as two short documentary films about the duo that screened at a few film festivals: Kiki and Herb Reloaded and Kiki and Herb on the Rocks.

In the early summer of 2006, Bond and Mellman announced that Kiki and Herb would make their Broadway debut in August. After a handful of preview performances at the Wilma Theatre in Philadelphia, the show, titled Kiki & Herb: Alive on Broadway, debuted for a four-week run at the Helen Hayes Theatre on August 11. Reviews were mostly favorable, including a glowing assessment by Ben Brantley of the New York Times. For Brantley, Kiki "suggests some wondrous hybrid of Marianne Faithfull, Elaine Stritch, Patti Smith and Kitty Carlisle Hart," her vocals "radioactive with an angry sorrow, ecstasy, and cosmic fatigue" in which "the point is never the prettiness of the voice but the history behind it and the passion to endure that vibrates within."

The duo began a run of Sunday-night shows at Joe's Pub in New York City in January 2007, and toured the United States in the Spring and Summer of 2007. The tour was entitled The Year of Magical Drinking.

On May 15, 2007, Kiki and Herb: Alive on Broadway was nominated for a Tony Award for "Best Special Theatrical Event" and was predicted to win by the New York Observer. However, the show lost to Jay Johnson: The Two and Only.

In 2007, they toured around the world, returning to New York on December 12, 2007 for their return to Carnegie Hall: A Christmas-themed show entitled "Kiki and Herb: The Second Coming."

In January 2008, they released their first DVD: A recording of a 2007 performance at New York City's The Knitting Factory, entitled Kiki and Herb: Live at the Knitting Factory. In addition to the performance, the DVD also contains clips from performances by Bond and Mellman in 1993, 1999, and 2005.

Their last show together as Kiki and Herb was at Perez Hilton's 30th Birthday party.

Revivification: 2015
On September 18, 2015, Justin Vivian Bond and Kenny Mellman announced the return of Kiki and Herb with a new show, Seeking Asylum! at Joe's Pub from April 21 to May 6, 2016.

Fictional biography

For years, Bond and Mellman maintained a meticulous backstory for their characters, one made official on the Kiki and Herb MySpace page and their official website. This involved the characters meeting as children in a mental institution before becoming a jazz act in the fifties, beginning a long and chequered career mixing periods of success and misfortune. The shows were supposedly part of their comeback trail, and they would perform songs supposedly from throughout their career (which were actually anachronistic covers). Between songs Kiki would tell anecdotes from her life, including her friendships with Billie Holiday and Grace Kelly, and the details of her various relationships, whilst drinking heavily and often having on-stage rages and breakdowns.

However, in "Alive on Broadway," they introduced the notion that the fictional backstory may be meta-fictional—Kiki spoke of the duo actually being thousands of years old, implying that some of her previous stories were, at least in part, lies told by the character. After the Broadway show, Bond and Mellman consistently included this twist in their shows' monologues—Kiki will talk about knowing Jesus "in the Biblical sense," hanging around with Marie Antoinette, and even romancing a young Adolf Hitler.

Ignaz von Peczely

Ignaz von Peczely (January 26, 1826 – July 14, 1911) was a Hungarian scientist, physician, homeopath, considered the father of modern iridology. Von Peczely first thought of iridology when caring for an owl with a broken leg. After noticing a spot in the owl's eye he hypothesized a link between the two and later tested this theory with other animals.
