2012 Sorta Unofficial New Zealand Film Awards

The 2012 Sorta Unofficial New Zealand Film Awards was the first presentation for the Sorta Unofficial NZ Film Awards, a New Zealand film industry award.

Following the demise of the Aotearoa Film and Television Awards and the announcement that the Screen Directors Guild of New Zealand would not hold film awards in 2012, New Zealand film industry figure Ant Timpson and nzherald.co.nz online entertainment editor Hugh Sundae announced the formation of the Sorta Unofficial New Zealand Film Awards, also known as the Moas.

The inaugural awards ceremony took place at the Civic Wintergarden in Auckland on 4 December 2012 and was webcast at the nzherald.co.nz, and broadcast on the Rialto Channel on 16 December 2012.

Nominees and Winners
Moas were awarded in 26 categories in three groups – feature film, documentary film and short film. The 2012 Moas cover the period of 15 August 2011 to 29 September 2012 for feature films and short films, and 1 August 2011 to 29 September 2012 for documentaries. Nominees were announced on 5 November 2012, with The Orator and Two Little Boys receiving 11 nominations each.

The Orator won eight awards in feature film categories, including Best Film. In the documentary categories, Shihad: Beautiful Machine won two awards, and the short film category was dominated by Honk If You're Horny, winning three of the six award categories.

Yellow Oval Room

The Yellow Oval Room is an oval room located on the south side of the second floor in the White House, the official residence of the President of the United States. First used as a drawing room in the John Adams administration, it has been used as a library, office, and family parlor. Today the Yellow Oval Room is used for small receptions and for greeting heads of states immediately before a State Dinner.

The room is entered from the Center Hall on the north side of the room. Three large windows on the south side of the room face the South Lawn and The Ellipse. The southwest window has a swing-sash door leading to the Truman Balcony. Double doors on the west side of the room, with flags of the United States and of the presidency on either side, lead to the president and first lady's bedrooms, private sitting room and dressing room.

Furnishings
The earliest written description of the room dates to the John Adams administration, and describes the room as a ladies drawing room. The room was papered in yellow with gilded stars, and a suite of crimson furniture. This furniture, likely a mix of Louis XVI and English Hepplewhite styles, was moved from the President's House in Philadelphia.

With the building of the West Wing in 1902, and moving of offices out of the residence, this oval room was again used as a parlor. Franklin Roosevelt used it as an office and library in the residence and would often serve after-work drinks to guests and work on his stamp collection. Following the Truman reconstruction the room was once more used for state events and entertaining. During the Kennedy Administration the room was designated as a drawing room and received many of the furnishings now located there as well as its designation as the Yellow Oval Room. The American interior designer Sister Parish established the basic design of the room by painting the walls a soft yellow, joined by a pale yellow oval carpet topped by Oriental rugs. The French interior designer Stéphane Boudin built upon Parish's contributions, replacing the Truman era hotel style furniture with late 18th and early 19th century French antiques. The furnishings today are mostly in the Louis XVI style, assembled during the Kennedy restoration. Two short columns of green marble were designed by Stéphane Boudin to hold antique, electrified candelabras and Boudin also found the bronze doré and rock crystal 18th century chandelier in Paris for the room. A suite of American manufactured painted wood Neoclassical settee, six armchairs and four side chairs, were reupholstered in a wool and silk velvet faux tiger print during the administration of George W. Bush and moved to the adjoining Center Hall.

Under the direction of Pat Nixon, the room was refurbished (although the project was not complete until just after President Nixon's resignation). The Yellow Oval Room was redesigned in a more academic style by the Nixons' new curator, Clement Conger, with architect and interior designer Edward Vason Jones.  Vason Jones replaced Sister Parish's simple curtains that fit within the window frames with the current grander gold and coral stripe that cover the woodwork, somewhat reducing the sense of height of the room. A settee and two matching chairs, crafted for President James Monroe in 1805, were donated by a resident of Houston, Texas. A Hereke carpet from Turkey and four bergère enclosed armchairs from France were also added to the room. The total cost of the renovation was $400,000 ($ in  dollars).

During the Carter administration, American Impressionist paintings, including those of Mary Cassatt, were acquired and hung in this room and the Center Hall.

Nancy Reagan, with her designer Ted Graber, brought back the two upholstered sofas used by Jacqueline Kennedy in the room. Laura Bush, working with her family decorator Ken Blasingame, replaced these sofas with similar ones of a slightly larger scale; returned a number of bouillotte lamps to the room; and added an overmantel mirror. She also re-installed the chandelier from the Kennedy era, which Pat Nixon had replaced with an overscale, Empire chandelier, formerly in the Kennedy Blue Room.

History
On January 1, 1801, and before it was even complete, John Adams held the first presidential reception in this room, known then only as "the upstairs oval parlor." Dolley Madison first decorated the room in yellow damask in 1809.

In 1851, Abigail Fillmore got an allocation from Congress for books to make the room into the first White House library. The Harrisons continued to use the room as a library and family parlor and, in 1889, put the first White House Christmas tree here.

Franklin D. Roosevelt converted the room into his study, and it was in this room on December 7, 1941, that he learned of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Secret Service moved his desk away from the windows as a security precaution. Harry Truman continued to use the room as a study and opened access to a new balcony he added, called the "Truman Balcony," to the South Portico in 1948. Following the Truman reconstruction the room was decorated by B. Altman and Company, New York with reproduction traditional furniture. Later presidents reserved the room as a parlor for formal receptions and used the Treaty Room, just to the east, as a private study instead.

Fairness Foundation

The Fairness Foundation is a non-commercial limited company based in Frankfurt, Germany. It strives to establish  fairness in society, economy, politics and culture. It imparts to people in responsible positions some background information and help to support them in preserving fairness in their companies or institutions. The Fairness Foundation supplies staff in responsible positions with perspectives and results from research, and it also offers qualification courses regarding fairness.

History

The Fairness Foundation was established in May 2000 by . He had a background of twenty years' experience as a consultant of executives and organisations. Already from his studies (mainly psychology and theology), he had collected some special knowledge about communication, leadership and fairness.

During the first three years, the Fairness Foundation received an initial financial support from venture philanthropist Norman Rentrop, a German publisher. The Foundation’'s board of trustees was founded at the same time. It elected Rupert Lay, an emeritus professor, as its president, and Karl-Heinz Brodbeck as his deputy.

The Foundation decided it might help its vision of Fairness in society as well as the Foundation's proceedings if it gained public attention. The "Deutscher Fairness Preis" (German Fairness Prize) was created and awarded for the first time in 2001. In connection with the celebration, an International Fairness Forum is held (also for the first time in 2001).

In 2004, Prof. Rupert Lay was himself awarded the German Fairness Prize and became the board of trustees' honorary president. He was awarded the Prize in honour of his life's work.

A second important line of the Foundation's efforts is the creation of certificates and prizes. People who are interested in counselling organisations towards a fair corporate culture can learn some basic principles of what should be observed as a method of intervention. The same applies to people who are interested in coaching people in need (suffering under unfair conditions or treatment). If a person has reached a certain standard of instructions, this is then expressed in a certificate. The first certificates of this kind were awarded in 2003. The fairness coaches or trainers are now the means of how the Fairness Foundation can become active in granting support to people suffering under unfair conditions.

The Fairness Foundation is a non-commercial limited company (a ) which already implies some degree of public recognition. In Germany, such institutions have to accept a regular check by governmental institutions. There was an additional kind of public recognition in 2003 when Federal President Johannes Rau accepted the patronage of the International Fairness Forum of that year.

Priorities

The Fairness Foundation's particular objectives in serving the public good are being put to practice in the following areas:

 information
 prevention
 help for those who help themselves
 advances in leadership competence
 development of good culture in companies and associations

These efforts, again, aim at creating a conscience in society for fairness in all areas – like the economy, society, politics, cultural affairs, sports and the media. Some of the means to achieve this are public relations and media work. Apart from a homepage which informs about all the Foundation's offers, there are some special means like a data bank for court sentences, a list of suitable and helpful publications and in particular the Fairness Partner Seal.

A lot of the Foundation's and its individual contributors' work is dedicated to the identification of cases of overwhelming unfairness and social and personal risks. The Foundation's coaches try to help by on-site analyses, experts' opinions, dialogue groups and development of personal perspectives.

This is dealing with the side of the victims or possible victims of unfair treatment.  What is also necessary is the support of people in responsible positions. These people, too, need counselling and accompaniment in the frame of the Foundation's fairness service so that they can better establish and secure a culture of fairness in their companies and among its executives.

All the Foundation's help, of course, has resulted in a lot of specialist knowledge and information. So it is natural that this competence is spread to people interested in fairness in open seminars, trainings, workshops, courses, and many of these interested people find that they would like to offer their services as certified fairness coaches, fairness trainers or fairness scouts. Depending on how much they can invest, they attend offers in the context of the Fairness Service.

Making Knowledge about Fairness Grow

All these participants, of course, contribute to a growing network of personalities or professionals (lawyers, psychologists, etc.) with a sound orientation to fairness that provide current and relevant information to people seeking help from the Foundation, to senior executives willing to support fairness in their companies and to themselves so that they help one another in the qualification of their advice. The Foundation offers support to this network building by its Fairness Networks and Fairness Experts Networks.

The Fairness Foundation describes its aims in its own words (memorandum HRB6897, §2): “The Foundation’s objective is the psychological and social counselling and accompanying of people who have drifted in their jobs or in the scope of their vocational activities into psychological affliction (people as meant by §53 section 1 AO), in particular people who are in positions of full responsibility in organisations, companies, associations, institutions, in the economy, in society, politics or cultural affairs, and also the education and public relations measures on behalf of fairness and a fair dealing with one another and against harassment, malicious gossip and other acts hurting the personalities of others as well as the encouragement of fair ways of getting to terms with one another and the co-operation in organisations.”

With all the requests for help arriving at the Foundation's doors and with all the contributions from well-meaning experts and executives, the question arises again: What really is meant by "fairness"? Up to what degree can one expect fair treatment from others? The Foundation has therefore established a definition of what it thinks to be indispensable: “The esteem and respect of every human being (…), taking into regard and balancing different interests (…), the mutual validity and observation of the rules that are valid for all people involved and enhancing life (…), the social, personal, ecologic and ethical compatibility of attitudes, decisions and behaviour, of structures, procedures and rules, of products and services.” (passage “Fairness and Fairness Ethics”).

Structure and Finances

The Foundation's managing director is Dr. Norbert Copray, the founder. The Board of Trustees has presently four  people in it. They are:

 Helmut Graf
 Johannes Hans A. Nikel
 Adolf Winderl
 Prof. Rupert Lay is Honorary President since 2004.

The Fairness Foundation establishes its annual accounts and a balance sheet and has the use of its donations and sponsoring contributions examined by a chartered accountant. It goes one step further than most of the other foundations of its kind in that it publishes the legally required data in the electronic version of the Bundesanzeiger. This is an official periodical published by the Central Government of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Foundation is based in Oberursel, a small town in the north of Frankfurt, and its office is in the centre of Frankfurt.

The Foundation does everything in its power to deal properly and transparently with its own status as a public foundation. For that reason it has become a member of the Bundesverband Deutscher Stiftungen (Federal Association of Foundations).

The financial means that are available for the Foundation  have four chief sources: donations, sponsoring, inheritance and charged services.

Public relations, media use and presence in the public

The Fairness Foundation runs its own internet site concerning fairness and unfairness with a focal point on people in responsible positions, organisations and companies. This site also provides a data bank for court sentences.

There is a separate internet site, the www.mobbing-scout.de. (It needs explanation, though, that German uses the word “mobbing” not for “grouping together” but in the sense of “harassment, being put into disadvantage, being discriminated”.) This is a webportal for all people suffering under unfairness or unfair attacks. It provides addresses of consultation service providers, telephone numbers, check lists, some preliminary advice how best to proceed as well as advanced information for people with a discrimination history or in the middle of some steps of defence.

By means of its webportal www.fairness-check.de the Foundation pursues the aim to check the commitment to fairness of companies.  The Fairness-Check addresses consumers by marking up fair companies and those who just practice green-washing. For this purpose the webportal publishes all commitments to fairness and their corresponding proofs or disproofs through media, journalists, NGOs and consumers. Every check is concluded with an evaluation of the companies’ quality of fairness

Another field of the Foundation's attention is advertisements. It offers the service “Fair Telephone Advertisement” and by it wants to contribute to fairness also in the context of telephone marketing and advertisement. It wants to support the desire of business people to get the matching telephone partner in the area business to business (B2B), based on commitment, feedback and a higher quality in the area of telephone marketing. Thus, at the same time, it wants to stop nonsensical, cheating or unfair advertisement calls. Company customers can register in a list with the name “B2B telephone advertisement stop list”, which grants protection to all partners in this cooperation. To support people and companies who are willing to use telephone properly and fairly, the Foundation has established the site www.faire-telefonwerbung.de. Here, people find all relevant aspects concerning telephone advertisements, several complaint procedures are described, the ethics code of the partners in this cooperation is published, there is a chronicle of court sentences and legal texts and their comments are released there, too.

Another site is www.faire-partner.de. This is for companies who have made some efforts to establish an atmosphere of fairness and would like to prove and present this with regard to customers, clients, employees, citizens and suppliers. These companies are offered help on this site how best to present their success. Organisations which can prove at least minimum standards of a fairness culture and oblige themselves to join the Fairness Feedback System may show a “Fairness Partner” seal which the Foundation provides.

Prizes

Every year, the Fairness Foundation awards its renowned “German Fairness Prize”. This goes to a personality who has rendered outstanding services with regard to the development and enhancement of fairness in a company and through his or her personal leadership. Or, if it is not an executive of a company, the Prize can also be awarded because of special academic research and instruction or public cultural or political commitment. The laureates are chosen by the Fairness Foundation's board of trustees on the basis of an internal list of nominations. Always on the last Saturday in October, the Prize is awarded in the frame of a public celebration in Frankfurt on the Main. The award winners have been so far:

In 2010, a new category the “Fairness Initiativ-Preis” was introduced, and some first Fairness Initiative Prizes went to www.abgeordnetenwatch.de, www.foodwatch.de and www.irrsinnig-menschlich.de for their efforts on behalf of more fairness and transparency in politics and citizenship.

Seminars

Moreo

In addition to the Fairness Forum as a major event, the Foundation also carries out seminars in its own rooms and as in-house programmes in companies. Then there are the further education seminars for people who would like to support others and become a Fairness Coach or Fairness Trainer.

Usually, candidates to become professional coaches or trainers are experienced executives, personnel officers or lawyers. They can get a two years’ training course run by the Fairness Foundation and will become a Certified Fairness Coach/Trainer at the completion of the course. They can then join the Fairness Experts Network (which is a German speaking forum so far), make use of the Foundation's resources (approaches, methods, models), join the exchange of opinions among colleagues and, what is more, they can call upon the Foundation for supervision of their own work.

People who are interested in fairness or who are already committed on its behalf can join the Fairness Network so that fairness is encouraged in Germany, and that these people may enjoy contacts with other people committed like themselves. For companies and organisations, there is another site. It is called fairness-in-business-network. This network also works as the place where people can look professional exchange.

Consultation, hotlines, e-mail consultation

For people who find themselves subject to unfair attacks, the Fairness Foundation offers a Fairness Hotline. On this hotline, there are honorary helpers working who have been trained and supervised. With no exception, they all bring professional knowledge and thorough business experience with them.

Then there are two more possible addresses at the Foundation. Any people with a certain feeling of responsibility who would like to get along better in certain situations as fairness is concerned, would like to improve the quality of their company's treatment of staff or would like to learn from mistakes can consult the Foundation's coaching line. And any people who are suffering from unfair attacks may find advice and help under www.mobbingscout.de.

Fairness Barometer

By means of a Fairness Barometer, the Foundation confronts the German society once a year with a mirror telling them about the state of affairs for fairness. This Barometer and the importance that people place on fairness in their private or business or consumer lives.

Fairness and Fairness Ethics

In its Fairness Charta, the Fairness Foundation has described the social importance of fairness and its claim on every person to become active on behalf of fairness. It says:

“In order that people, families, organisations, companies and associations may develop positively, in order that personal, social, economic and cultural life may thrive, in order that people remain unharmed physically, psychologically, socially, in their minds and spiritually, may keep their well-being or achieve it and find their lives’ fulfilment, it is necessary to grant by all means a just and fair dealing of the people with one another, the care, tolerance and understanding for other people in their individual behaviour, make efforts on behalf of rules, structures, values and procedures that make fairness and fair play possible and safeguard them.”

To a more fully extent, founder Dr. Norbert Copray has explained what is really meant by fairness in his book “Fairness. A key to cooperation and confidence” (Gütersloh 2010).

And in a shorter guideline-form, the Foundation phrased its idea of fairness: “Show that behaviour to others and towards yourself as you would like others to deal with you when you are dependent on others’ benevolence.”

However, it is vital to observe in the practices of this organisation, the Fairness Foundation: It is taking its idea of fairness so serious and so far to say that no other fairness definition is to be imposed on others but that a fair debate is encouraged which enables an agreement on the mutual fairness conditions. It is thus – by cooperative communication – that the Fairness Foundation would like to arrive at a solution of problems and a perspective for solutions. It is vital that people learn to foster fairness competence and that organisations create a fairness culture.

Addressees

The Fairness Foundation is primarily, yet not exclusively, directed to people with a considerable responsibility, but independent of their status as self-employed, employed, freelance, full-time or honorary workers. It looks at self-employed people, employees in executive positions and honorary people in leadership positions.

Protection of Czechoslovak borders during the Cold War

The protection of borders between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (CSSR) and Capitalist countries of Western Europe, namely with West Germany and Austria, in the Cold War era and especially after 1951, was provided by special troops of the Pohraniční Stráž () and system of engineer equipment which created the real "Iron Curtain". The purpose was to prevent citizens of the Eastern Bloc escaping to the West, although official reports stated it was to keep the enemy's spies and saboteurs out of Czechoslovakia. The border system of Czechoslovakia was not as elaborate and fortified as that of the Inner German border or the Berlin Wall, but it was considered difficult to cross the border undetected.

History and development

After World War II and liberation of country the original borders of Czechoslovakia were restored and special units of police (SNB) were to protect the borders together with the army. Following the Communist takeover in the government, thousands of opponents of the communist regime tried to escape the country. For individuals or small groups it was quite easy to avoid the guards and cross the borders, though it was dangerous if they were spotted, as the guards were allowed to shoot the intruders on sight. About 10,000 people including 50 prominent politicians crossed the borders in the first year after the political change.

Consequently, the independent HQ of Border Guard was created but the number of crew was nearly the same (about 6,000 men) as the detection of potential emigrants by regular police was preferred. The so-called "forbidden zone" was established up to  from the border in which no civilians could reside. A wider region, so called "border zone" also existed, up to  from the border, in which no "disloyal" or "suspect" civilians could reside or work. For example, the entire Aš-Bulge creating the most problematic part of the border territory fell within the border zone.

Substantial changes occurred by the end of 1951, after several successful attempts of mass-escape. The number of men increased to 17,000. The Border Guard was reorganised into two brigades with headquarters in Cheb and Znojmo. Finally, the real iron containment by means of engineer equipment was built. From 1951 onwards, this area was designated by a signal fence some kilometres inside the border, while the border itself was secured by a guarded strip with a single barbed wire fence. This fence, originally an electric fence with a voltage of 5000 V, was replaced starting in 1968 by a double wire mesh fence similar to that used on the Inner German border. In addition,  the border was fitted with watch towers. In contrast with the concrete towers used in East Germany, these towers were usually made of wood or steel framework. In some areas various types of land mines were used, notably PP Mi-Ba, PP Mi-D, and PP Mi.

The barrier typically lay around  inside the actual boundary line. As the fence was not visible from there at some places, it repeatedly occurred that curious or careless West German strollers overlooked border markers and mistakenly entered Czechoslovak territory, which could lead to their arrest.

Czechoslovakia witnessed the drama at the West German embassy in Prague, where thousands of East Germans were hiding. This wore down the patience of the Czechoslovak authorities, who eventually gave in, letting all East Germans travel directly to West Germany from 3 November 1989, thus breaking the Iron Curtain.

On 17 November 1989, the Velvet Revolution succeeded. The barbed wire on the borders with East Germany and Austria was removed from 5 December onwards, and from 11 December the Czechoslovak fortifications on the West German border were dismantled.

The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and Austria are now all part of the Schengen Agreement, which allows border crossing without identity checks.

Battle of Coronea (447 BC)

The Battle of Coronea (also known as the First Battle of Coronea) took place between the Athenian-led Delian League and the Boeotian League in 447 BC during the First Peloponnesian War.

In 457 BC the Athenians had taken control of Boeotia at the Battle of Oenophyta, and spent the next ten years attempting to consolidate the League's power. In 454 BC Athens lost a fleet attempting to aid an Egyptian revolt against Persia; fearing revolts by the other members of the Delian League, Athens moved the treasury to their city from Delos in 453 BC, and signed the Peace of Callias with Persia around 450 BC.

The Delian League was essentially an Athenian empire, and while Athens was usually successful at holding their possessions in the Aegean Sea, they were less successful on land. By 447 BC some of the men exiled from Boeotia after the Athenian victory there in 457 had returned home and began to take back some of the Boeotian towns. The Athenians under Tolmides, with 1,000 hoplites plus other troops from their allies, marched into Boeotia to take back the recaptured towns. They captured Chaeronea, but were attacked and defeated by the Boeotians at Coronea. The Athenians were forced to give up control of Boeotia. Boeotia was allowed to leave the Delian League in return for allowing the Athenians to leave Boeotia safely. The defeat led to revolts on Euboea and in Megara, which in turn led to further conflict with Sparta, contributing to the Peloponnesian War.

Grandview Heights Historic District

The Grandview Heights Historic District (also known as Grandview Heights Neighborhood) is a U.S. historic district (designated as such on July 8, 1999) located in West Palm Beach, Florida. The district is bounded by Park Place, Alabama Avenue, M Street, and Lake Avenue.

One of the city's oldest neighborhoods still intact, Grandview Heights was built as an extension of Palm Beach Heights from around 1910 to 1925. The neighborhood has one of the city's best collection of early craftsman-style bungalows, as well as some modest, Mediterranean revival-style homes. Grandview Heights first residents were ministers, downtown shopkeepers, and the craftsmen who built the luxury hotels of Palm Beach. Despite having modest elevation, it contained the highest elevation to the south to Cuba, and at the time provided views of Lake Worth Lagoon over Woodlawn Cemetery and Pioneer Memorial Park.
After a period of urban decline in the 1980s, almost all of Palm Beach Heights and portions of Grandview Heights were demolished in 1989 to make way for the proposed Downtown/Uptown urban revitalization project. This land, immediately north of the neighborhood, later became CityPlace, a New Urbanist mixed-use shopping and dining district.

Grandview Heights neighborhood has been restored to a mixed-use, walkable neighborhood with a mix of mostly single family homes, modern townhomes, and apartments. Also located in the neighborhood are two historic churches, several bed and breakfasts, and small local businesses.

The west end of the neighborhood is Howard Park, the largest urban park in West Palm Beach. Howard Park contains the historic Stub Canal Turning Basin, originally used for unloading crops grown to the west, including the central portions of the state near Lake Okeechobee, for shipment to the North. At the time, the land just across the canal from the park remained undeveloped marshlands, and was used for hunting. During the land-boom era, Howard Park was used as camp for settlers, including tent-sites, running water, and out-houses provided by the city. This camp was later converted to a Boy Scout camp, and is the location of the present-day dog park. Some tourists and settlers would alternatively rent apartments located over garages in the neighborhood, providing additional income to residents. The historic Art Deco style Armory building was built in 1939 with WPA funds for use by the National Guard. It currently houses the Armory Arts Center, which includes an art school and galleries.

Immediately east of the neighborhood is the historic Woodlawn Cemetery, the South Dixie shopping district, and the Norton Museum of Art.

Historic Buildings

The Grandview Heights Historic District contains 268 historic buildings.

Suncoast Credit Union

Suncoast Credit Union is a credit union headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The credit union formed in 1934 to originally serve teachers in Hillsborough County and later expanded to serve school employees within the state's suncoast region. Since December 2013, the credit union is open anyone who lives, works, attends school, or worships in the 17 counties which the credit union serves. As of September 30, 2019, Suncoast has $10.5 billion in assets and more than 866,000 members. Suncoast Credit Union is the largest credit union in Florida and the ninth largest in the United States based on membership.

History
The credit union began as Hillsborough County Teachers Credit Union on January 31, 1934, with the intention to help teachers working in Hillsborough County. The credit union amended its charter in 1953 to open membership to teachers in the nearby Citrus, DeSoto, Hardee, Hernando, and Pasco counties. By 1960, membership was opened to Charlotte, Levy, Manatee, and Sumter counties as well as to all employees of schools in counties their charter extended to. To reflect its changed field of membership, the credit union changed its name to Suncoast Schools Credit Union in 1975. In 1978, it converted to a federal charter and changed its name again to Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union. In December 2013, the credit union obtained a state charter and changed its name to Suncoast Credit Union.

Eekhout Abbey

Eekhout Abbey () was a medieval house of Augustinian Canons in Bruges, West Flanders, Belgium.

History
The origin of the abbey, dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, was traditionally linked to the religious community that had grown up round the cell of the hermit Everelmus in about 1050, although the first reference dates only from 1130.

In or around 1146 it joined the Arrouaisian Order, and in consequence adopted the Rule of St Augustine and became an abbey, under the first abbot, Lambertus. The men's and women's communities which had previously coexisted here were separated:  the women were moved to premises in Odegem (now Steenbrugge) where their community developed into St. Trudo's Abbey (still extant and housed since 1954 in Male Castle), while the men remained on the existing site near the centre of Bruges.

After centuries of decline the abbey was dissolved in the French Revolution.

Dispersal
In 1803, after being sold off as state property, the abbey was entirely demolished by its French purchaser Rousseau, except for a single doorway onto the Eekhoutstraat, which still stands. Isolated plots which connected to their property in the Garenmarkt came into the hands of the Du Jardin family. After the failure of their family business, the Bank Du Jardin, in 1874 a large part of their property here came into the possession of the Sisters of the Sint-Andreasinstituut, who had a school built on it. The site of the former abbey is now occupied by the Groeningemuseum.

Lengnau, Aargau

Lengnau is a municipality in the district of Zurzach in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

It is notable for being one of two villages where residence was permitted for Swiss Jews between 1633 and 1874. Lengnau's synagogue is listed as a heritage site of national significance.

History
The remains of a Roman era farm was discovered near Lengnau.  The modern municipality of Lengnau is first mentioned in 798  as Lenginwanc.  The Herrschaft rights were claimed by both the Bishop of Constance and the Habsburgs.  After the conquest of the Aargau in 1415, the Bishop and the County of Baden continued to dispute the rights over the village.  It wasn't until the late 15th Century that the rights went over entirely to the Swiss Confederation.  After 1269 the low court right was held by the Teutonic Knights through their Commandry of Beuggen.  Until 1400 the Bishop's vogt in Klingnau was also involved in the low court.  The hamlet of Husen was under the low court of the Knights Hospitaller Commandry of Leuggern.

The Catholic parish of Lengnau was probably the proprietary church of the House of Regensberg. In 1269 the church and the other rights of the Lords of Regensberg passed to the Beuggen family.

St. Martin's Church was built in 1977, incorporating the older baroque choir and tower.  The Reformed Church members are part of the parish of Tegerfelden since 1940.  Before that, it is unclear what parish they may have belonged to.  The Jewish population built their first synagogue in 1750 and the second in 1847, which shaped much of the modern village.

While the Christian residents mainly worked in agriculture (crops and increasingly in the 19th Century, livestock farming), the Jews (who were forbidden land or cattle) worked in trade or peddling.

Lengnau can be reached through a bus line which had run since 1921.  In 1953 it was connected by the Surbtalstrasse road with Baden.  In 1968, an industrial zone was opened, which in the decades that followed attracted about 80 companies.  This has led to a population increase, and since the 1970s a number of new single-and multi-family neighborhoods have been built.

Jewish history

In accordance with the resolution of the Tagsatzung in 1678, Jews were allowed to settle in the communities of the Surb valley.  After 1776, they were further restricted to living in only Endingen and Lengnau.  This immigration slowly but steadily changed the appearance of the communities.  The village of Endingen never built a Christian church, only a Jewish synagogue.  The local Christians traveled to neighboring villages for church.  The Jewish and Christian families are often under one roof.

Beginning in 1603, the deceased Jews of the Surbtal communities were buried on a small Rhein river island, the so-called Judenäule ("Jew's island") which was leased by the Jewish community. As the island was repeatedly flooded and devastated, in 1750 the Surbtal Jews asked the Tagsatzung to establish a cemetery in the vicinity of their communities in the Surb valley.

The Jewish population was fairly well tolerated (except for the Zwetschgenkrieg or "plum war" riots in 1802), self-managed and maintained its own school.

However, the Jewish resident were only allowed to enter a few professions, such as trade.  Houses were built with two separate entrances, one for Jews and one for Christians. They were under the high and low courts of the Baden bailiff and had to buy "protection and safety" letters from the authorities.  It wasn't until 1876 that Jews were granted full equality in civil rights and allowed to travel.  By 1920, most Jews had left the community.  The members of the Jewish citizen's corporation were not included in the local citizen's corporation of Lengnau, but by a decree in 1879 they were formed into the local citizen's corporation of Neu-Lengnau.  This was merged in 1983 with the local citizen's corporation of Lengnau and all common property was transferred into the merged citizen's corporation.  In 1903 the Swiss Israelite retirement home of Lengnau opened.

Plum war
In 1798, the French under Napoleon I invaded Switzerland and set up the Helvetic Republic.  The Republic attempted to modernize and centralize the Swiss Confederation.  As part of this new, liberal state, Swiss reformers attempted to enforce the emancipation of the Jews in the new central Swiss Parliament in Aarau.  When that failed, they attempted to get the French to force this change on the new Swiss government.  The changes of the Republic were not embraced by many of the Swiss and the issue of emancipation for the Jews became another contentious issue between the old order and the new government.  Finally in 1802 the population revolted and turned against the Jews. The mob looted the Jewish villages of Endingen and Lengnau.  At the same time other revolts, such as the Stecklikrieg, stretched the French Army too far.  Napoleon lacked the troops to bring peace to Switzerland, and also he needed the Swiss regiments for his campaigns.  Seeking a peaceful resolution to the uprising, in 1803 he issued the Act of Mediation.  The Act of Mediation was a compromise between the Ancien Regime and a Republic.  One of the compromises in the Act was that no further rights were granted to the Jews.

Arriach

Arriach () is a municipality in the district of Villach-Land in the Austrian state of Carinthia.

Geography
Situated within the Nock Mountains range of the Gurktal Alps, about  north of the city of Villach, Arriach houses the geographical centre of the state of Carinthia. The commune is a state-recognised health resort, its economy mainly depends on tourism.

The municipal area consists of the four cadastral communities: Arriach proper, Innerteuchen, Laastadt, and Sauerwald.

Neighboring municipalities

History
The parish of Ovriach was first mentioned in a 1207 deed. In early modern times, the remote area was a centre of Crypto-protestantism in the Duchy of Carinthia. The present-day municipality was established in 1850; the Sauerwald community joined in 1898.

Religion
According to a 2001 census 68.8% of the population were Protestants, which is the highest percentage of all Carinthian municipalities. Therefore, the Four Evangelists parish church, a Neo-Gothic building erected in 1903, is the largest Protestant church in mainly Catholic Carinthia. It is located at the site of a former 'prayer house' (Bethaus), built after the Patent of Toleration was issued by the Habsburg emperor Joseph II in 1781. Furthermore, Arriach's coat of arms depicts a Eucharist chalice and a Luther rose.

The smaller Catholic parish church dedicated to Sts. Philipp and Jakob, erected about 1200 and rebuilt several times, stands nearby. Arriach also features several historic rustic log homes preserved in quite good condition.

Socrates of Achaea

Socrates () (c. 436 BC – 401 BC) was a Greek mercenary general from Achaea who traveled to Persia to fight at the Battle of Cunaxa. Xenophon describes him as brave in war and a reliable friend. Socrates was summoned by Cyrus, with whom he was already connected, to bring as many troops as he could muster under the pretense that Cyrus intended to attack Tissaphernes. Socrates had previously been besieging Miletus alongside Pasion the Megarian.  Socrates brought Cyrus about 500 Hoplites. Socrates and the other troops were only later told that Cyrus intended to seize the Persian throne from his brother Artaxerxes. Socrates fought at the Battle of Cunaxa and the Greek forces were able to drive the Persians into retreat, but Cyrus and his force faced heavy casualties and Cyrus himself was killed in battle.

With Cyrus dead, the Greek troops were left in limbo, trying to make arrangements to return home first with Ariaeus (Cyrus' good friend and second in command at the battle) and then with Tissaphernes (one of the Persian generals at the battle). Eventually Socrates and several other Greek generals were betrayed by Tissaphernes and Ariaeus. Socrates, along with Clearchus, Agis of Arcadia, Menon of Thessaly and Proxenus of Boeotia were summoned for a cordial meeting in the tent of Tissaphernes. They were seized and taken to Artaxerxes, where they were beheaded.

Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook

Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook (born 1957, Thailand) is a Thai artist who works primarily with film and video. She lives in Chiang Mai, Thailand. She represented Thailand at the 51st Venice Biennale (2005), and exhibited at dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel, 2012. In January 2015 her first retrospective in the United States opened at SculptureCenter, New York.

She studied at Silpakorn University, Bangkok, and Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig in Germany.

Artworks
Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook experimented with intaglio printmaking and sculptural installations in the 1980s and '90s, before starting to focus in on film and video.

Several of her early sculptural installations have been interpreted as speaking to the position of women in Thai society. In Isolated Hands (1992) and Departure of Thai Country Girls (1995), dismembered parts of female-coded bodies are presented in isolation; in the former, a pair of hands rest on a plate of water, and in the latter, pairs of upside-down legs are lined up on a wooden boat. In Isolated Moral Female Object, in a Relationship with a Male Bird II (1995), an isolated woman's head gazes out through a circular frame containing an image of the sky, while a sculptural bird flies freely through the frame.

In the late 1990s and 2000s, Rasdjarmrearnsook began to bring the rituals of the dead into her practice, accompanied by a shift to video work. She created a series of video works dealing with human corpses. This involved her filming her own rituals for the dead at morgues, in collaboration with the medical community. This includes works like A Walk (1996, 2003), Reading for Corpses, (2002), Chant for Female Corpse (2001, 2002), Sudsiri and Araya (2002), I'm Living (2003), Wind Princess, White Birds (2006), the Conversation series (2005) and The Class series (2005). In The Class (2005), for example, she gives a tutorial to six corpses who are lined up in morgue trays.

In her series Two Planets (2008) and Village and Elsewhere (2011), Rasdjarmrearnsook looked at the interactions between viewers and artworks when placing reproductions of iconic Western paintings in rural areas in Thailand. In Two Planets (2007–08), a group of locals in a Thai countryside are presented with reproductions of 19th-century European paintings. They sit with their backs to the camera and their unpretentious reflections on the artworks are subtitled in English.

Patriot (Worlds of Fun)

Patriot is a steel inverted roller coaster designed by Bolliger & Mabillard at the Worlds of Fun amusement park in Kansas City, Missouri. Announced on September 7, 2005, the roller coaster opened to the public on April 8, 2006. The ride lasts about 2 minutes and 18 seconds and features four inversions, a maximum height of  and a length of .

History
Patriot was announced on September 7, 2005 and was the park's largest investment at the time. Construction started in the transfer track and station area before progressing to the lift hill in early-October 2005. Just over two weeks later, the roller coaster's  lift hill was topped off. After erecting the first drop and loop, construction on the zero-gravity-roll was complete by mid-November. The third inversion, an Immelmann loop, was completed about a week later followed by the placement of the inclined loop pieces. After the corkscrew and other track elements were completed, the final piece of track was placed in the morning of January 13, 2006.

After testing was completed, the attraction opened to the public on April 8, 2006.

Ride experience

After departing from the station, the train makes a left turn leading directly to the beginning of the  lift hill. Once the train reaches the top of the lift hill, it makes a sharp, downward  drop followed by an  loop. After exiting the loop and making a slight right turn, the train goes up leading into a zero-gravity roll. The train drops back to the ground before going through an Immelmann loop. Next, the train enters an inclined loop. Then the train goes over a small inverted hill, drops to the ground, and makes a left turn into a corkscrew. Then the train makes a right turn which leads to the brake run. The train then makes a left turn back into the station where the next riders board.

One complete cycle of the roller coaster lasts about 2 minutes and 18 seconds.

Characteristics

Trains
Patriot operates with two steel and fiberglass trains which were manufactured in Switzerland before being shipped to Kansas City. Each train has seven cars that can seat four riders in a single row for a total of 28 riders per train. The train structure is colored blue, yellow, and white and the seats and over-the-shoulder restraints are both red.

Track
The steel track of Patriot is approximately  long. The height of the lift hill is approximately  high, and (with the supports) weighs approximately . It was fabricated by Clermont Steel Fabricators in Batavia, Ohio, who manufactures Bolliger & Mabillard's roller coasters and was erected by Lico Steel. The track color is red with a continuous white strip running through the middle and the supports are blue.

Reception
Mike (no last name given) from NewsPlusNotes likes the fact that Patriot and Talon at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom are very similar in terms of their layouts. He also praises the ride for its speed and enjoyability, "[The train] heads through those elements at a good clip and keeps the fun factor up throughout the ride."

Awards

In Mitch Hawker's worldwide Best Roller Coaster Poll, Patriot peaked at position 48 in its second year of operation. The ride's ranking in subsequent polls is shown in the table below.

The roller coaster has never placed in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards.

Port Laoise Courthouse

Port Laoise Courthouse is a judicial facility in Port Laoise, County Laois, Ireland.

History
The building, which was designed by Sir Richard Morrison in the Neoclassical style, was completed in 1805. It was re-modelled to the designs of James Rawson Carroll in 1875. The building was primarily used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, which established county councils in every county, the Grand Jury Room also became the meeting place for Laois County Council. After the courthouse became inadequate, the county council moved to County Hall in May 1982. In order to accommodate the large caseload of the court, which had become the second busiest in Ireland, in May 2019, the county council announced plans to build a new courthouse outside the town.

Tomás de Borja y Castro

Tomás de Borja y Castro (c. 1551, Gandía, Province of Valencia – September 13, 1610, Zaragoza) was a Spanish noble from the House of Borja who became Bishop of Málaga and Archbishop of Zaragoza.

Biography
Tomás studied in the Colegio Mayor de San Ildefonso at Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. He later went on to study at Colegio Mayor de San Bartolomé at Salamanca where he obtained a doctorate in theology.  He there after dedicated himself to the clergy and the life of the cloth.

In 1571, Tomás together with his brother, the future Saint, Francisco de Borja and the Cardinal Alejandrino set out on a trip around Europe that was bound for Rome.  Upon arrival in Rome, Tomás was designated the Consultor de la Inquisición Romana, a title affiliated to the Inquisition.  Upon returning to Spain, he was appointed cannon of Toledo and Abbot of the Iglesia de la Santísima Trinidad Orense.

In 1599, Philip III of Spain appointed Tomás as the Bishop of Málaga.  His ascendancy coincided with an outbreak of pestilence whose origins came from Spanish troops returning from Spanish Morocco and other African conquests.  So strong was this plague that people would fall down in the streets and there was nothing that could be medically done to save them, overflowing the capacity of the hospitals.  Tomás devoted himself to caring for the sick, even those that nobody would approach due to fear of infection.  The plague lasted two years and killed such a large portion of the population that people were brought in from other regions of Spain to fill all the vacant jobs left behind by the dead.

In 1603, he was named Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Zaragoza, and in 1606, he was named Captain General of Aragón.

He died on September 13 of 1610 at the age of 70.  He was buried in a sepulcher at the  Capilla Mayor of the Colegio de las Vírgenes.

Distinction
In his honor, in the Spanish city of Málaga, in the area of Pedregalejo, there is a street named after him.

Analog feedback shift register

AFSR also stands for the Argonne Fast Source Reactor  -- see list of nuclear reactors.
'' AFSR was also the abbreviation of the Armed Forces of South Russia.

An analog feedback shift register (AFSR) is a generalization of the (binary, digital) linear-feedback shift register (LFSR).

While binary LFSRs require less power to generate spread spectrum signals than AFSRs, AFSR receivers require less power (in theory) to synchronize to those signals than binary LFSR receivers.

As of 2005, AFSRs are still in research.
AFSR techniques could make spread-spectrum receivers (such as GPS receivers and cell phones and Wi-Fi receivers and RFIDs) cost less and have longer battery lifetimes.
