Nashville Pussy

Nashville Pussy is a Grammy Nominated American rock & roll band from Atlanta, Georgia. Their musical style has been variously described as psychobilly, Southern rock, hard rock and cowpunk, as well as "sleaze rock". The band's lyrical themes mostly revolve around sex, drugs, drinking, fighting, and rock 'n' roll. Initially called Hell's Half-Acre, the band's name comes from Ted Nugent's introduction to "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" on the Double Live Gonzo album.

Following the initial 1997 breakup of Kentucky cowpunk band Nine Pound Hammer, guitarist Blaine Cartwright formed Nashville Pussy where he would take up vocal duties in addition to guitar. The core lineup of Nashville Pussy consists of husband-and-wife duo Blaine Cartwright and Ruyter Suys (pronounced "Rider Sighs"), and drummer Jeremy Thompson, formerly of Austin, Texas' Phantom Creeps. Original drummer Adam Neal (Nine Pound Hammer) left to form the Hookers. Original bassist Corey Parks (sister of former NBA basketball player Cherokee Parks) quit one month after the release of the album High as Hell, and later joined Die Hunns. Tracy Almazan a.k.a. Tracy Kickass formerly of NYC's the Wives, and Helldorado was enlisted to replace Parks mid-tour. Nashville Pussy recorded Say Something Nasty with Almazan on bass only to be replaced by Katielyn Campbell (of the band Famous Monsters). Katie Lynn's image is on the album Say Something Nasty. Campbell was subsequently replaced by Karen Cuda for the album Get Some. Karen Cuda also appeared as bassist on the album "From Hell To Texas", and in the live DVD Live in Hollywood.

Nashville Pussy have released six full-length studio albums, one EP and two live DVDs.

Following
The band has remained largely underground, but has been gaining a large cult following in the rock club scene, and in Europe, Australia, Japan, and the rest of the world. Grassroots promotion of the band has been aided by their taper-friendly show recording policy.
Ruyter Suys was recently voted One of the Greatest Female Electric Guitarists in ELLE magazine. Nine Pound Hammer has since reunited and plays the introduction song for the Adult Swim cartoon 12 Oz. Mouse. Cartwright also had a cameo in the Mr. Show spinoff movie Run Ronnie Run as Duke's Bar Owner. The band also played themselves in the Dutch Film 'Wilde Mossels' (Wild Mussels).

Nashville Pussy received a Best Metal Performance Grammy nomination for their song "Fried Chicken And Coffee" from their debut release, Let Them Eat Pussy (1998, The Enclave) 1999 Grammy. Between April 2 to May 7, 1999, the band toured as the opening act for the North American leg of Marilyn Manson's Rock Is Dead Tour. Ruyter Suys was featured on National Enquirer TV along with Jennifer Lopez on the Grammy Red Carpet for her 'revealing' Evel Knievel meets Wonder Woman leather bustier in a feature titled 'Too Much Too Little' and their songs "Come On, Come On" and "Hate & Whisky" were featured in the video game Jackass the Game. Additionally, "Snake Eyes" was for the end credits in the video game Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 and both "Shoot First and Run Like Hell" and "Wrong Side Of A Gun" were in the movie Super Troopers. The song 'DRIVE' with its Gary Glitter style infectious drum beat was featured in the episode 'Watching Too Much Television' of the HBO series The Sopranos. HBO'S Entourage also featured Nashville Pussy's 'Hell Ain't What It Used To Be' in the episode 'A Day In The Valley'. In 2012 Ruyter Suys has also played guitar and toured for Atlanta comedy metal band Dick Delicious and The Tasty Testicles.

Central Office for Information Technology in the Security Sector

The Central Office for Information Technology in the Security Sector (, ZITiS) is a federal agency of the German government. Headquartered in Munich, it is subordinate to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community. Its mission is to give computer hacking assistance to other government agencies.

As such ZITiS is not an intelligence or law enforcement agency of its own, but rather provides services for the Federal Police (BPOL), Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). The agency also cooperates with universities and research institutes to develop new surveillance technology and strategies. ZITiS operations are organised in four departments: Telecommunication Surveillance, Digital Forensics, Cryptanalysis, and Big Data Analysis.

History

The agency was founded on 6 April 2017, and by 2022 is planned to employ 400 people. The decryption of encrypted messenger services such as WhatsApp was cited as one of its primary goals. The agency's president Winfried Karl in 2017 publicly called for the authority to strike back against the perpetrators of cyberattacks.

In June 2018 the team consisted of 60 members, growing to 100 by April 2019, although the budget intended 150 employees in 2018. Some employees were recruited from other government agencies, others previously worked in the private industry.

The announcement of ZITiS' creation led to significant criticism from opposition parties and internet privacy activists. Alliance 90/The Greens threatened a constitutional complaint against the agency. Thomas de Maizière stated in response that ZITiS activities would be compliant with the law.

Temple of Spes

The Temple of Spes was an sanctuary in Ancient Rome dedicated to the goddess Spes.  The temple was situated on the Quirinal Hill by the Vicus Longus alongside the temples of Febris and Fortuna Euelpis. If still in use by the 4th-century, it would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire.

Ladies Empire Club

The Ladies Empire Club was a private members club for women at 69 Grosvenor Street, at the east end on the south side, in London's Mayfair district.

Foundation
The club was founded by members of the Victoria League to strengthen the league's work in providing hospitality to its British and visiting colonial members and the wives and parties of visiting colonial politicians. It was opened in 1902 by the colonial secretary Joseph Chamberlain and by 1906 had 700 members from the United Kingdom and 350 from British colonies. The club was independent but the Victoria League retained the right to nominate one third of the club's central committee.

Activities and membership
To be eligible for membership, two references were required, one to propose and apply to the secretary with an introductory note, the other to second the proposal. A joining fee and annual subscription would be required upon receipt of  election Members in 1913 included Mrs Stephen Spring-Rice of the London Society for Women's Suffrage, and fellow suffragist Lady Marie Willoughby de Broke.

The club provided spacious and hospitable facilities for reading and playing cards. It had smoking rooms and the bedrooms were "comfortable and attractive". It was particularly popular with Canadian women who came to support women’s rights.

In December 1957, an announcement appeared in The Times that the club would be accommodated at the Ladies Carlton Club from 1 January 1958.

Time in Venezuela

Venezuela uses the UTC−04:00 time offset, and they had previously used UTC−04:30 from December 9, 2007 until April 30, 2016. The time is commonly called Venezuelan Standard Time (VET), and legally referred to as Hora Legal de Venezuela (HLV) or Venezuela's Legal Time. The HLV is administered by the Navigation and Hydrography Service, in the Cagigal Naval Observatory, Caracas.

The official time zone of Venezuela is determined by meridian 60° west of Greenwich, UK.

UTC−04:30 was formerly the official time zone in Venezuela from 1912 to 1965, when the government changed it in order to adopt meridian 60° UTC−04:00, which passes through Punta de Playa, Delta Amacuro State. It was changed again to UTC−04:30 from 2007 to 2016.

Background
The Venezuela's Legal Time Service was founded in answer to the need of a standard time across the country, located approximately between meridians 60° W and 75° W, corresponding to UTC−04:00 and UTC−05:00 with respect to the prime meridian. In 1912, the meridian 67° 30' W was adopted as the first geographical reference for a national time system. The HLV was given to the National Telegraphy Central Office as an astronomical time standard, corresponding to GMT−04:30. During the 1930s, the broadcasting services began time reports synchronized with the HLV. In 1965 the Republic of Venezuela Congress established meridian 60° W, near Punta de Playa in Delta Amacuro state, as official, since the previous one did not fulfill the international requirement for time standards of being based on integer differences with the GMT. Beginning then, Venezuela Standard Time was UTC−04:00; this meant the addition of thirty more minutes to the previous time. This modification was carried out based on research from the La Electricidad de Caracas (Caracas Electricity) Company. The results indicated that adding thirty minutes to the previous time would save energy use, since all morning activities were going to be carried out in the presence of sunlight, and there would be an additional half an hour of sunlight in the afternoons.

Current standard time
In December 2007, Hugo Chávez changed, via decree, the official meridian to meridian 67° 30' W, the same used between 1912 and 1965. As result, the standard time was UTC−04:30, half an hour behind the previous time which eventually led to an increase in energy consumption.

On 15 April 2016, President Nicolás Maduro announced that Venezuela would reverse Chávez's time change due to the shortage of electricity (the country's hydroelectric power has been hit by low water levels) in Venezuela, with a return to UTC−04:00 which began on 1 May 2016 at 03:00:00.

The IANA time zone database contains one zone for Venezuela in the file zone.tab, named America/Caracas.

Bhasmasura (Hinduism)

In Hindu religion, Bhasmasura (, ), also known as Brahmasura, was an asura or demon who was granted the power  to burn up and immediately turn into ashes (bhasma) anyone whose head he touched with his hand. The asura was tricked by the  Lord Vishnu's only female avatar, the enchantress Mohini, to turn himself into ashes.

Legend
Bhasmasura was a devotee of the Lord Shiva who performed great penance to obtain a boon from the deity. Shiva became pleased and asked him to ask for a boon.  Bhasmasura then asked that he be granted the power that anyone whose head he touched with his hand should burn up and immediately turn into ashes (bhasma). Bhasmasura then wreaked havoc across the world with his new found power torturing everyone in sight as he was of low moral fibre. So the rishis ran to Vishnu for help. Vishnu, in the form of Mohini, appeared in front of Bhasmasura. Mohini was so exceedingly beautiful that Bhasmasura immediately fell in love with Mohini. Bhasmasura asked her to marry him. She told him that she was very fond of dancing, and would marry him only if he could match her moves identically. Bhasmasura agreed to the match and hence they started dancing. The feat went for days at an end. As Bhasmasura matched the disguised Vishnu's move by move, he began to let his guard down. While still dancing, Mohini, struck a pose where her hand was placed on top of her own head. As Bhasmasura imitated her, he was tricked into touching his own head, and hence Bhasmasura immediately burnt up and turned into ashes, due to the power he had recently gained.

There is a common misconception that Shiva fled from Bhasmasura. None of the original scriptures mention that Bhasmasura tries to place his hand on Lord Shiva or about Lord Shiva fleeing. Shiva is the Destroyer in the Trimurti (other being Brahma and Vishnu) and hence is part of the only three beings who have absolute immortality and omnipotence as a result of which he can bypass Bhasmasura's boon whenever he wants but since rules of universe apply to everyone Bhasmasura has to die without violation of boon given by Lord Shiva.

The other variation of this, in a nut shell, is: Vishnu appears in the form of Mohini. Bhasmasura forgets of newly acquired boon and asks Mohini to marry him. She agrees and asks Bhasmasura to take a dip in the lake and clean himself as he is not clean at the present condition. Bhasmasura is too happy to take a dip in the lake. He tries to get rid of the excess water in his hair (dries his hair) by running his hands over his head. Bhasmasura turned into ashes with the power of newly acquired boon.

Mohini Bhasmasura Kuchipudi Dance Ballet
In Kuchipudi dance also "Mohini Bhasmasura" is a very famous dance drama. Many Artists performed this ballet. Mainly Bharathakaprapoorna Sri Korada Narasimha Rao a famous Kuchipudi exponent performed Bhasmasura, in Mohini Bhasmasura Kuchipudi Dance ballet, his performance unforgettable.  His expression, way of dance, and his dialogues extraordinary. 1st Padmasree awardee in Kuchipudi dance, great dancer Sri Vedantham Satyanarayana Sarma played Mohini role in a great way in this ballet. His abhinaya, dressing as women, dance all are unique.
This ballet was conducted by Andhra Pradesh Nruthya Academy a Long ago. All great artists like Padma Sree Awardee Dr. Nataraja Rama Krishna did nattuvangam, Sri Korada Narasimha Rao as Bhasmasura, Sri Vedantham Satyanarayana Sarama as Mohini, great artist Dr.Sampath Kumar as Siva, another great artist Sri Gopal Raj Butt as Naradha. Great Combination.

In dance

In the Saho area of Chamba district in the State of Himachal Pradesh, the Sohal Nati dance is very popular.  It is generally performed on all festive occasions, but the main importance of this dance is in Baisakh during the days of Saho fair.  The dance is based on the story of Lord Vishnu killing Bhasmasura, and hence, it is also known as Mohini-Bhasmasura dance.

Based on the popular story, the dancers take different postures leading to them ultimately revolving both their hands on their heads.  The dancer enacting Bhasmasura is placed at the end of row and he is the last dancer to revolve his hands over his head.

The Bhasmasura-type pose--with one hand atop the head and the other behind the back--is also common in women's dancing in the Bhojpuri region and, by extension, in Indo-Caribbean society, where it is a typical feature of chutney dancing.  A few Indo-Caribbeans claim that this pose relates to the Bhasmasura myth.

ISO-IR-111

ISO-IR-111 or KOI8-E (formerly also ECMA-113 (1st ed., 1986)) is an 8-bit character set. It is a multinational extension of KOI-8 for Belarusian, Macedonian, Serbian, and Ukrainian (except Ґґ which is added to KOI8-F).

Naming confusion

ISO-IR-111, the 1985 edition of ECMA-113 (also called "ECMA-Cyrillic" or "KOI8-E"), was based on the 1974 edition of GOST 19768 (i.e. KOI-8). In 1987 ECMA-113 was redesigned. These newer editions of ECMA-113 are equivalent to ISO-8859-5,
 and do not follow the KOI layout. This confusion has led to a common misconception that ISO-8859-5 was defined in or based on GOST 19768-74.

Possibly as another consequence of this,  erroneously lists a different codepage under the names "ISO-IR-111" and "ECMA-Cyrillic", resembling ISO-8859-5 with re-ordered rows, and partially compatible with Windows-1251.

Character set
The following table shows the ISO-IR-111 encoding. Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point.

Incorrect RFC 1345 code page

 erroneously lists a different codepage under the name ISO-IR-111, encoding the same Cyrillic characters but with a different layout. It resembles a mixture of Windows-1251 and ISO-8859-5. Specifically, line A_ corresponds to ISO-8859-5, lines C_ through F_ correspond to Windows-1251 (equivalent to lines B_ through E_ of ISO-8859-5), and line B_ nearly corresponds to line F_ of ISO-8859-5, with the exception of the § being replaced with a ¤.

Certain codes resemble ISO-IR-111 with flipped letter case, which may have contributed to the confusion. The majority differ and are shown below with a heavy border.

Basil Gribbin

Basil Gribbin was a co-ordinating magistrate in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court and a member of the Queensland Magistrates Association, which is the equivalent of a Magistrates Union. Gribbin served as a Magistrate from 9 January 1987 to 10 May 2008.

Legal career
Gribbin commenced his working life as a clerk at the Magistrates Court at Warwick in 1964. He later worked as a registrar in over nine court registries including Springsure, Herberton, Cairns, Beenleigh, Inala and Rockhampton. After being admitted as a legal practitioner in late 1984, he undertook a series of appointments as Acting Magistrate at Herberton, Cairns, Beenleigh, Inala and Rockhampton over a two-year period before being appointed as a Queensland Magistrate.

In 1998, Queensland Courts established a Rules Committee to introduce and monitor the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules. Magistrate Gribbin served as one of the court’s two representatives on the committee since its inception – a role he relinquished just prior to his retirement.

Role in imprisonment of Di Fingleton
He is most famous for having written an affidavit in 2002 in support of a fellow magistrate named Ann Thacker, who was challenging a decision made by then Chief Magistrate, Di Fingleton to transfer her from Brisbane to Townsville. This resulted in Fingleton sending Gribbin an email asking him to show cause why she should not dismiss him from the position of supervising magistrate. Gribbin responded by accusing her of attempting to pervert the course of justice and trying to interfere with his right to give evidence in support of Thacker. Gribbin referred the matter to the Department of Public Prosecutions (DPP), and this resulted in Fingleton being convicted of the offence of retaliating against a witness. Her conviction was later quashed on appeal in a unanimous decision of the High Court of Australia.

Sialkot Cantonment

Sialkot Cantonment is a cantonment area in Sialkot adjacent to the city. It is one of the oldest and most important Cantonments of Pakistan. It was established in 1852 by the British Indian Army. As gleaned from the old records, the Sialkot Cantonment is the precursor of Wazirabad Garrison which was established for a sojourn from 1849-52. The site of Sialkot Cantonment was chosen by Sir Charles Napier, GCB, the then Commander-in-Chief, in 1851. The Wazirabad Cantonment was vacated and the garrison shifted to “Seealkot Cantt”, as it was then called, where actual occupation was in effect in 1852. "Cantt" is an abbreviation for cantonment.

The congenial climate, prospects of meeting military requisites and close proximity to the Jammu and Kashmir state led to the genesis of Sialkot Cantt. The Sialkot Cantonment is primarily flanked by two rivulets called "nullas" in vernacular, i.e. nullah “Palkhu” towards the north and nullah “Bhed” towards the south, both originating from the Indian Kashmir.

The Cantonment also serves as a military base and residential establishment. The civil population of Sialkot Cantonment is approximately 191,000 . The cantonment maintains its own infrastructure of civic facilities and is outside the jurisdiction of the Sialkot District Government. Its civic facilities are managed by Sialkot Cantonment Board. Sialkot Cantonment houses two divisions of infantry. There is also a small Sialkot Cantonment Airport in Sialkot Cantt which is in use by Army aviation.

Subscription library

A subscription library (also membership library or independent library) is a library that is financed by private funds either from membership fees or endowments. Unlike a public library, access is often restricted to members, but access rights can also be given to non-members, such as students.

Origins

In the 18th century, there were virtually no public libraries in the sense in which we now understand the term i.e. libraries provided from public funds and freely accessible to all. Only one important library in Britain, Chetham's Library in Manchester, was fully and freely accessible to the public. However, during the century, there came into being a whole network of library provision on a private or institutional basis.

The increase in secular literature at this time encouraged the establishment of commercial subscription libraries. Many small, private book clubs evolved into subscription libraries, charging high annual fees or requiring subscribing members to purchase shares. Subscription libraries would in turn use these earnings to expand their collections and later create their own publications. Unlike a public library, access was often restricted to members. Some of the earliest such institutions were founded in late-17th century England, such as Chetham's Library in 1653, Innerpeffray Library in 1680 and Thomas Plume's Library in 1704. In the American colonies, the Library Company of Philadelphia was started in 1731 by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia, PA. By paying an initial fee and annual dues, members had access to books, maps, fossils, antique coins, minerals, and scientific instruments. The first subscription library in Canada was formed in the 1800s at Niagara.

The materials available to subscribers tended to focus on particular subject areas, such as biography, history, philosophy, theology, and travel, rather than works of fiction, particularly the novel.

Subscription libraries were democratic in nature; created by and for communities of local subscribers who aimed to establish permanent collections of books and reading materials, rather than selling their collections annually as the circulating libraries tended to do, in order to raise funds to support their other commercial interests. Even though the subscription libraries were often founded by reading societies, committees, elected by the subscribers, chose books for the collection that were general, rather than aimed at a particular religious, political or professional group. The books selected for the collection were chosen because they would be mutually beneficial to the shareholders. The committee also selected the librarians who would manage the circulation of materials.

Subscription libraries were also referred to as 'proprietary' libraries due to the expectation that subscribers not only pay an annual fee, but that they must also invest in shares. These shares could be transferred by sale, gift or bequest. Many could not afford to purchase shares to become a member, even though they may have belonged to reading clubs.

Circulating libraries

The increasing production and demand for fiction promoted by rising literacy rates and the expansion of commercial markets, led to the rise of circulating libraries, which met a need that subscription libraries did not fulfill.

William Bathoe opened his commercial venture at two locations in London in 1737, and claimed to have been 'the Original Circulating library'. An early circulating library may even have been established in the mid-17th century; in an edition of "Tom Tyler and his Wife" in 1661 Francis Kirkman included a catalogue of 690 plays which he claimed to be ready to lend "upon reasonable considerations" from his premises in Westminster.

Circulating libraries charged subscription fees to users and offered serious subject matter as well as the popular novels, thus the difficulty in clearly distinguishing circulating from subscription libraries. Occasionally subscription libraries called themselves 'circulating libraries', and vice versa.

"Many ordinary circulating libraries might call themselves 'subscription' libraries because they charged a subscription, while the earliest private subscription libraries, such as Leeds, Warrington, or Liverpool, describe themselves as 'circulating' libraries in their titles. Since many circulating libraries called themselves after the town where they were situated, it is often difficult to distinguish the type of a particular library, especially since many are only known to posterity from a surviving book label, with nothing but the name as identification".

In Britain there were more than 200 commercial circulating libraries open in 1800, more than twice the number of subscription and private proprietary libraries that were operating at the same time. Many proprietors pandered to the most fashionable clientele, making much ado about the sort of shop they offered, the lush interiors, plenty of room and long hours of service. "These 'libraries' would be called rental collections today."

With the advent of free public libraries in the 19th century, most subscription libraries were replaced or taken over by the governing authorities.

Learned societies
In London, numerous scientific dabblers, amateurs, professionals concentrated in the comparatively small geographic area began to form a unique development - the learned society:

"These societies are voluntary associations of men and women who have come together because they are interested in the aims and objects which the societies serve and they feel that they can pursue those interests better as members of a society, rather than as individuals. The libraries therefore have been collected together for the purpose of serving the objects to which the various societies are dedicated and they do this, for the most part, by serving their members".

Learned society libraries were private but were owned by larger groups of people. Materials were often lent or borrowed by qualified individuals or institutions outside the society. Societies were concerned mainly with the sciences, physical and biological, and often cooperated with other groups like the Royal Society.

Exclusive subscription libraries, the world's oldest being the Chemical Society in London, was founded in 1841 for the general advancement of chemistry. Its primary objective was to guide and direct original research in chemistry and to disseminate that knowledge through debates, lectures and its own journal.

In 2017 Bright Health acquired the marketing firm Spyder Trap, and its founder became Bright Health's Chief Technology Officer. It next began offering plans in the State of Arizona, before setting plans to sell in Alabama in 2018, partnering with Arizona Care Network (a insurer owned by Dignity Health and Abrazo Community Health Network) in Phoenix and Brookwood Baptist Health in Birmingham.

Health insurance
It began selling health insurance plans in 2017 and Medicare Advantage plans in 2018, in reaction to the Affordable Healthcare Act. In June 2017, the company raised an additional $160 million in Series B funding. Bright Health works with “narrow networks” to suppress the cost of healthcare for those enrolled in their program. The company also has three technology components: a user interface, a data analytics module, and a platform that works with electronic medical records and telemedicine companies.

Aeonium dodrantale

Aeonium dodrantale is a species of tree houseleek in the family Crassulaceae.

Systematics

The first description as Sempervivum dodrantale by Carl Ludwig von Willdenow was published in 1809. Theodorus Hendrikus Maria Mes put the species in 1995 in the genus Aeonium.

A synonym in nomenclature is Greenovia dodrantalis (Willd.) Webb & Berthel. (1841).

Description

The species grows as a perennial, densely budding rosette plant, the offshoot of 2 to 8 inches long thin, smooth stem forms. The cup-shaped or urn-shaped rosettes reach a diameter of 3 to 6 centimeters and are tightly closed during the dry season. Their leaves are tightly packed during growth. The obovate-spateligen, pale green, bluish breath, initially with very fine mesh, later bare leaves are 2 to 3.5 centimetres long, 1 to 1.5 centimeters wide and 0.1 to 0.2 centimeters thick. Towards the top they are rounded or truncated and are often finished. The base is broadly wedge-shaped or slightly narrowed. The leaf margin is translucent.

The flattened inflorescence has a length of 3 to 6 centimeters and a width of 5 to 10 centimeters. The densely leafed peduncle is 10 to 25 centimeters long. The 18 to 23-fold flowers are on a 2 to 4 millimeters long, glandular-fluffy flower stem. Her sepals are glandular-fluffy. The deep yellow, reverse lanceolate petals are 6 to 7 millimeters long and 1 to 1.5 millimeters wide. The stamens are bare.

Distribution
Aeonium dodrantale is widespread in the east and west of Tenerife at heights of 150 to 1200 meters.

Cooksville, Illinois

Cooksville is a village in McLean County, Illinois, United States. The population was 182 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Bloomington–Normal Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Geography
Cooksville is located at  (40.542278, -88.716274).

According to the 2010 census, Cooksville has a total area of , all land.

History

Founding of Cooksville

Cooksville was laid out under the name Kochsville on December 4, 1882 by Frederick Wilhelm Koch (September 4, 1829 – May 4, 1900). Within a year of its founding the name was changed to Cooksville. Koch was a Bloomington Real estate dealer. He was born in Westphalia, in what is now Germany, and arrived in the United States on 6 November 1854. Koch was in Bloomington by 1860. He sold thirty or forty lots near his home in west Bloomington, and this neighborhood soon became known as Kochsville, giving Koch the honor of having two McLean County places named in his honor. The town of Kochsville was founded when the Clinton, Bloomington and Northeastern Railroad was finished from Colfax to Bloomington; in 1880 the part of the railroad from Kankakee to Colfax had been finished, resulting in the 1880 founding of Cropsey, Anchor, and Colfax; but the remainder of the railroad was delayed for two years. The railroad was soon taken over by the Illinois Central and was sometimes known as the Bloomer Line.  After requests for the grain elevators to join Alliance Grain, operator of the Bloomer Line, were denied, the tracks from Colfax to Cooksville were removed.  This left road transportation as the only available method for grain.

Design and Growth of Cooksville

Cooksville was incorporated in December 1901. The population of the town peaked in 1910 with 332 people.  The design of the original Town of Cooksville was a rectangle north of the tracks with the southern blocks slightly truncated because the railroad did not run exactly east and west. The Original Town contained about fifty-five lots. The depot was on the north side of the tracks and the two early elevators on the south side. Soon small additions were laid out south of the tracks and on the east side of the Original Town. In 1883 William G. Darnell established the first grain elevator in Cooksville.  Harvey W. Crumbacker also moved to the town in 1883. He established a hardware store and in 1902 built a two story brick building in the town.

Demographics

As of the census of 2000, there were 213 people, 91 households, and 64 families residing in the village. The population density was 917.9 people per square mile (357.6/km²). There were 94 housing units at an average density of 405.1 per square mile (157.8/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 99.53% White, 0.47% from other races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.47% of the population.

There were 91 households out of which 28.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 59.3% were married couples living together, 12.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 28.6% were non-families. 25.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 12.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.34 and the average family size was 2.82.

In the village, the population was spread out with 23.5% under the age of 18, 9.9% from 18 to 24, 29.6% from 25 to 44, 25.8% from 45 to 64, and 11.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females, there were 85.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 83.1 males.

The median income for a household in the village was $41,094, and the median income for a family was $48,125. Males had a median income of $31,563 versus $23,594 for females. The per capita income for the village was $16,984. None of the families and 0.8% of the population were living below the poverty line.

Education

John K. Giles

For the Republic of Ireland footballer, see: Johnny Giles.

John Knight Giles (February 16, 1895February 8, 1979) was an inmate at Alcatraz prison, most well known for an escape attempt in 1945. He was originally sentenced to the United States Penitentiary on May 11, 1935 for attempted robbery of the Denver and Rio Grande Western mail train; he had previously been serving a life sentence in Oregon for murder before escaping. Giles began serving his federal sentence for the attempted train robbery at McNeil Island on June 17, 1935, but due to his escape record and the length of his sentence, was transferred to Alcatraz Island on August 28, 1935.

Escape attempt
On July 31, 1945, at 10:40 a.m., the Army ferry  pulled into the Alcatraz Wharf. Giles, wearing an Army Technical Sergeant's uniform that he had been able to steal while working in the laundry that was contracted to clean army uniforms, jumped aboard the boat through a freight hatchway below deck. As the boat pulled away, a count of the soldiers on board indicated one extra, and at the same time, a count of the Alcatraz dock workers indicated one missing convict. Assistant Warden E.J. Miller was notified, and he followed the Army boat in a small speedboat until it reached Fort McDowell on Angel Island. Alcatraz officials called ahead to Fort McDowell, instructing them to keep everyone on the boat. The boat captain took this to mean nobody was to disembark without a pass. Giles showed his pass and was allowed to exit the boat. (According to Alcatraz Warden Johnston, it should have been called a successful escape, but the Bureau of Prisons and the Attorney General classified it as an attempted escape.)

While on board, Giles was unaware that he was being followed. He talked to fellow passengers and told them he was a "lineman working on the cable".

Capture, aftermath, and death
After Giles left the boat, he was questioned by Lieutenant Gordon L. Kilgore, the Fort McDowell officer of the day. Kilgore had noticed that Giles' uniform appeared incorrect. After inspecting the pass and realizing it was a bad forgery, Giles was detained and eventually turned over to Assistant Warden Miller. By 11 a.m., he was headed back to Alcatraz.

The story of Giles' capture and his attempted escape were profiled on the radio program Gang Busters in 1945. He died in 1979 in California.

Liparis bracteata

Liparis bracteata, commonly known as the yellow sphinx orchid, is a plant in the orchid family. It is an epiphytic or lithophytic orchid with cone-shaped pseudobulbs, each with two linear to lance-shaped leaves and between seven and twelve star-shaped pale green flowers that turn yellow as they age. This orchid grows on trees and rocks in rainforest in tropical North Queensland.

Description
Liparis bracteata is an epiphytic or lithophytic, clump-forming herb with smooth, dark green, cone-shaped pseudobulbs  long,  wide and covered with leaf like bracts when young. Each pseudobulb has two linear to lance-shaped, dark green leaves  and  wide. Between seven and twelve pale green flowers,  long and  wide are borne on a flowering stem  long. The flowering stem has up to fifteen bracts and the flowers turn yellow as they age. The sepals are  long and about  wide, the petals a similar length but narrower. The labellum is  long and  wide with two green calli near its base and two orange ridges along its midline. Flowering occurs between July and September.

Taxonomy and naming
Liparis bracteata was first formally described in 1946 by Trevor Edgar Hunt who published the description in the North Queensland Naturalist. The type specimen was collected by John Henry Wilkie on Mount Bartle Frere. The specific epithet (bracteata) is derived from the Latin word bractea, meaning "small leaf".

Distribution and habitat
The yellow sphinx orchid grows on trees and rocks in rainforest between the Cedar Bay and the Tully River in Queensland.

Wagga Wagga railway station

The Wagga Wagga railway station is a heritage-listed railway station and now museum and railway station located on the Main South line in Wagga Wagga, in the City of Wagga Wagga local government area of New South Wales, Australia. The station is also known as the Wagga Wagga Railway Station and yard group. The property is owned by RailCorp, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. The station was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

History
Wagga Wagga station opened on 1 September 1879 as South Wagga Wagga when the Main South line was extended from Bomen. It served as the terminus until the line was extended to Gerogery on 1 September 1880. It was renamed Wagga Wagga on 1 March 1882.

On 14 May 1917, Wagga Wagga became a junction station when the Tumbarumba line opened as far as Humula.

Services
Wagga Wagga is served by two daily NSW TrainLink XPT services in each direction operating between Sydney and Melbourne. NSW TrainLink also operate road coach services to Tumbarumba, Griffith, Echuca and a trial service to Queanbeyan.

Former transport services
Firefly Express operated a daily Sydney to Melbourne service, which was cancelled in May 2018. Greyhound Australia operated a daily Canberra to Melbourne service as well as a second service from Canberra which terminated at Wagga Wagga. NSW TrainLink operated a daily coach service to Wodonga from July 2018 to June 2019.

Description
The station complex comprises a type 5 station building made with first class brick and completed in 1879; together with a type 4 brick two-storey station master's residence, also completed in 1879. The railway platform is faced with brick and a footbridge from Station Place to Railway Street was completed in 1936. A  tripod crane, type T221, was erected in 1879 and is no longer extant. Landscaping to the station forecourt and approaches comprise part of the complex.

Heritage listing
As at 9 August 2016, Wagga Wagga was a major station complex in the State system. It is the first building designed by John Whitton and is similar in plan to the larger Albury station. It is of high significance. A refreshment room was added after 1917 for the journey to Albury. The station is an important civic element in Wagga Wagga and has an impressive forecourt area. The design of the building is unique in the railway system.
The station master's residence is of equal significance to the station building dating from the same period and adds to the completeness of the group with its location near the entrance to the station.
The other buildings reflect the importance of the location as a junction and are excellent examples of their type.

Isocitric acid

Isocitric acid is a structural isomer of citric acid.  Salts and esters of isocitric acid are known as isocitrates. The isocitrate anion is a substrate of the citric acid cycle. Isocitrate is formed from citrate with the help of the enzyme aconitase, and is acted upon by isocitrate dehydrogenase.

Isocitric acid is commonly used as a marker to detect the authenticity and quality of fruit products, most often citrus juices.  In authentic orange juice, for example, the ratio of citric acid to D-isocitric acid is usually less than 130. An isocitric acid value higher than this may be indicative of fruit juice adulteration.

Andrieu Contredit d'Arras

Andrieu Contredit d'Arras (c. 1200 – 1248) was a trouvère from Arras and active in the Puy d'Arras. "Contredit" is probably a nickname. He wrote mostly grand chants, but also a pastourelle, a lai, and a jeu-parti with Guillaume li Vinier.

Andrieu is probably the  who in 1239, according to French royal documents, joined the Crusade of Theobald I of Navarre as a knight and minstrel. His appearance in royal documents may indicate his service (probably as a minstrel) to Louis IX, and he addressed his song  to Louis.

His song  was addressed to the Puy. One of the most important sources on his life is the register of the Puy. It records his death at Arras in 1248 and the death of his wife in 1225. Besides the register of the Puy are Andrieu's poems themselves, since he wrote twenty and named himself as author in fourteen. He addressed  to a "Marote", probably fellow trouvère Maroie de Diergnau de Lille. He praised the city of Arras in . Andrieu twice refers to himself as messire (mister), a title reserved for nobility. His blason had once decorated chansonnier known as MS 844 in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, but it has now been lost.

Andrieu's verses show little variation of form. They all begin with the same rhyme scheme (ABAB), all are in regular metre, and all use the same few lengths of line. Andrieu's music is more varied, though it is all in bar form. The melodies are frequently non-repetitive and sometimes motivic.

Bank of Mexico

The Bank of Mexico (), abbreviated BdeM or Banxico, is Mexico's central bank, monetary authority and lender of last resort. The Bank of Mexico is autonomous in exercising its functions, and its main objective is to achieve stability in the purchasing power of the national currency.

History

Background
Plans for a national bank of Mexico began as early as the Mexican Empire of Agustín de Iturbide with his idea of a Gran Banco del Imperio Mexicano (Grand Bank of the Mexican Empire). This idea was never pursued, instead, credit was generally issued by religious orders or trading guilds. In 1827 Mexico defaulted on a loan from British lenders which made it difficult to find foreign capital and it was forced to rely on local lenders as it had no national bank to lend to it. Instead the government was forced to rely on domestic lenders known as agiotistas (speculators) who specialized in short-term, high-interest loans.

The first bank organized by the government was the Banco de Avío which was formed in 1830 during the regime of Anastasio Bustamante under the direction of the Minister of Interior and Foreign Affairs, Lucas Alamán. The primary purpose of the bank was to stimulate the manufacturing and textile industries. But due to ongoing political and military crises the bank was closed in 1842 by President Antinio López de Santa Anna.

Private banks
Private banking officially began in Mexico under the rule of Emperor Maximiliano in 1864 when the Banco de Londres, México y Sud America (Bank of London, Mexico and South America) opened in Mexico City. In the 1870s the Banco de Santa Eulalia opened in Chihuahua and the Monte de Piedad, which had functioned as a pawnshop since 1775, expanded its services into banking. Both banks issued their own bank notes and many more banks followed suit in the next decade, including the Banco Nacional Mexicano (Mexican National Bank) in 1882, opened by the administration of President Manuel González.

In 1884 the Banco Nacional Mexicano soon merged with Banco Mercantil Mexicano (Mexican Mercantile Bank) to form the Banco Nacional de México (National Bank of Mexico) which issued notes and was the primary lender to the government. The same year government issued a commercial code that gave it control of the banking sector, including the responsibility of chartering banks and establishing minimum levels of capital. The new code also stipulated that all paper money had to be backed by gold or silver on deposit in the national treasury.

The next 15 years were turbulent for the banking sector of Mexico. Due to poor management, the Monte de Piedad temporarily closed, reopening without its banking services. The government mismanaged the emission of a new non-silver coin and was forced to hastily recall it. Both of these events caused the public to lose confidence in the banks and paper money.

Porfiriato
In 1897, during the presidency of Porfirio Díaz, Finance Minister José Yves Limantour helped to guide the passing of the Ley de Instituciones de Crédito (Law of Credit Institutions). The new law grouped banks into three categories: issuing banks, mortgage loan banks, and auxiliary development banks. Issuing banks were allowed to circulate banknotes within the state they were issued, but only the Banco Nacional de México and the Banco de Londres y Mexico notes were allowed to circulate nationally. They were also authorized to make short-term loans. Mortgage banks were authorized to make loans collateralized by real estate for periods up to 40 years. The auxiliary development banks were authorized to make loans for periods up to two years for the purpose of financing industrial endeavors such as mining, manufacturing, and agriculture. Nationwide, there were 24 banks with issuing authority, two mortgage banks, and five auxiliary development banks.

In 1908 Limantour issued new reforms to protect the Mexican economy from weaknesses exposed by the US financial crisis of 1907. These reforms prevented emissions banks from opening new branches and required them to convert themselves into auxiliary or mortgage banks. These changes had limited success, and though Limantour predicted a budget surplus for 1911, the collapse of the Porfirian regime and the intensification of the Revolution ground normal banking activity to a halt.

Revolution
In 1911 Francisco I. Madero took power from Díaz. Madero worked to increase the number of banks in the country but he was not trusted by the United States which worked with one of Madero's generals, Victoriano Huerta, to overthrown him in February 1913. When Huerta took power in 1913, he confiscated all of the metal backed banknotes from private issuing banks then issued unbacked banknotes into circulation, crippling the national banking system.

When Huerta was forced from office, the number of banknotes issued multiplied and the population began to lose faith in paper money. As warlords ravaged the country vying for control, they forced banks to make exorbitant loans or they looted them. In 1916 Venustiano Carranza declared that all banks must fully back their banknotes with metal. The 1897 law said that private banks only had to back 33% of the value of their issued notes, consequently all of the private banks were dissolved and their assets seized. That same year Carranza issued his own "unforgeable" notes in May though these lost all value by July of the same year. The banks seized by Carranza weren't returned to their owners until the administration of Álvaro Obregón in 1921.

Foundation
The current constitution of Mexico was signed in 1917. Article 28 of that constitution stipulated that all paper money would be issued by a single bank controlled by the government. But it wasn't until the end of 1924 that the Ley General de Instituciones de Crédito (General Law of Credit Institutions) was passed which was the legal antecedent for the Banco de México. The law prevented banks from owning stock in other banks and eliminated the stock exemption for banks. Most importantly, the law called for the creation of a central bank.

The Banco de México was created on September 1, 1925 under the direction of Minister of Finance Alberto J. Pani. It was given exclusive authority to mint coins and print banknotes, a sharp departure from policies of the past. The bank was also given responsibility over exchange rates, interest rates, and monetary regulation. Initially, retail banks even had the option not to partner with Banco de México. The main goals of the Bank at that time were to unify the fractured banking system left behind by the Revolution, create a flexible financial system that could modernize the country, reestablish credit, and renew trust in paper money.

The bank's first years were difficult. Initially only two private banks affiliated themselves with Banco de México, and by 1927, in the midst of the Christero War, the bank exceeded the legal limit of how much it could loan to the government. The unease of the private banking institution was assuaged somewhat when the initial offices of Banco de México were temporarily located in the headquarters of the Banco de Londres y Mexico. The banking interests cemented their relationship with the government by issuing loans to government officials, ensuring that the politicians had a vested interest in the stability of the system.

In 1932, laws were passed that required all private banks to invest their capital in Mexico and associate themselves with Banco de México. The laws also required that Banco de México cease operating as a commercial bank. After passage of this legislation, only three foreign banks remained in the country. These changes and a looser restriction on the issuance of banknotes led to a growing trust in the central bank.
