title: Stockholm Syndrome (American band)

abstract: Stockholm Syndrome is an American rock music band formed in Athens, Georgia, as a collaboration between Dave Schools of Widespread Panic and Jerry Joseph of Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons. The two enlisted Los Angeles drummer Wally Ingram, San Francisco guitarist Eric McFadden, and German keyboardist Danny Dziuk. Dziuk however, has since been replaced on tour by Gov't Mule keyboardist Danny Louis. Originally intended as a one-time studio side-project for the musicians, the band released an album in 2004, Holy Happy Hour, and then went on a nationwide tour in support of the album. The band has toured intermittently since then and on February 16, 2010, they released a live EP, "Stockholm Syndrome Live at Streetlight Records," which was recorded during an in-store performance at Streetlight Records in Santa Cruz in September 2009. The band has said that they have gotten another full-length album ready for release. As the band allows audience members to tape their shows, many of their concert recordings can be found at the Internet Archive. The band's second album, Apollo, was released on February 15, 2011. Schools and Joseph wrote the songs after sitting on a porch looking at redwood trees in California. The band recorded in " a converted chicken coop" to achieve "a low-fi garage [sound]". From the recording sessions, they produced a two-track vinyl record to sell at concerts.

# Stockholm Syndrome (American band)

**Stockholm Syndrome** is an American rock music band formed in Athens, Georgia, as a collaboration between Dave Schools of Widespread Panic and Jerry Joseph of Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons. The two enlisted Los Angeles drummer Wally Ingram (Jackson Browne and Sheryl Crow), San Francisco guitarist Eric McFadden (who had previously worked with Keb' Mo', Primus, Les Claypool, and the P Funk All Stars), and German keyboardist Danny Dziuk. Dziuk however, has since been replaced on tour by Gov't Mule keyboardist Danny Louis.

Originally intended as a one-time studio side-project for the musicians, the band released an album in 2004, *Holy Happy Hour,* and then went on a nationwide tour in support of the album.

The band's second album, *Apollo*, was released on February 15, 2011. Schools and Joseph wrote the songs after sitting on a porch looking at redwood trees in California.

## Formation

Schools and Joseph met and discovered their compatibility as songwriters. While Widespread Panic took a break, Schools and Joseph toured Europe because Schools wanted to be productive. The two continued to write songs together.

# Radja

**Radja** is an Indonesian rock band.

## History

Radja was formed in Banjarmasin, Indonesia, on 17 March 1999 and originally consisted of brothers Ian Kasela (vocals) and Moldy Kusnadi (guitar), as well as drummer Adit Taher and bassist Shuma. In their early days, the band performed in exchange for Nasi Bungkus, a humble Indonesian rice dish, at local cafes. Their name is a form of raja, meaning "king".

In 2001, the band debuted with *Lepas Masa Lalu*. Unfortunately, due to their label's failure to properly market the album, it never gained any traction and was overall considered a flop. Shuma and Adit left the band not long after and were replaced with bassist Indra Riwayat and drummer Seno Wilbowo. Their second album, *Manusia Biasa*, sold only 60,000 copies when it was released in 2003.

Their third album, *Langkah Baru*, was the first Radja released under EMI Music Indonesia and was significantly more successful. Though it contained three new songs, it was primarily a "repackaging" of tracks from previous albums; nonetheless, it sold 1.2 million copies upon its release in 2004 and soared to platinum status in Indonesia. It was one of the top 15 best-selling albums of the year from the EMI Group.

In 2006, they re-released *Aku Ada Karena Kau Ada* and debuted *1000 Bulan* ("1,000 Months"), an Islam themed album, producing 75,000 copies which were only available during that year's Ramadhan. The band's next album was launched in April 2008, titled *Membumi*.

Because of conflicts over what type of labels to work with, Indra and Seno left the band in 2010 to form Audio Jet and were replaced by Oji, Muhammad Vidin, and Radja keyboardist and synthesizer Aldi Rizky. Seno and Indra returned in 2015. Radja went on a brief hiatus, wherein they did not release music for three years; Ian claims this is due to the band's difficulty adapting to a more digital music market. In 2018, they established their own record label, Istana Musik.

In 2020, they released a new single, "Jangan Mudik Dulu", urging listeners to stay home and take precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also speculates that the COVID-19 pandemic is God's will. They also released "Hidup dan Mati". Their 2021 single, "Sapu Jagat", which focuses on Muslim prayer, was accused of plagiarizing Nissa Sabyan, which Radja denied.

Radja fans are referred to as Radjaku.

# Swords & Sorcery (SPI)

***Swords & Sorcery***, subtitled "Quest and Conquest in the Age of Magic", is a fantasy-themed board wargame published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) in 1978.

## Description

*Swords & Sorcery* is a fantasy game that includes both a traditional wargame called the Army game, as well as a Quest game involving individual characters. Both use a hex grid map and combat rules usually associated with military-themed wargames. The map's geographical locations are light-hearted puns such as Evelyn Woods, and the Stream of Consciousness. Characters likewise have amusing names such as "Logarithm Son of Algorithm."

### Components

The game box includes:

* 22" x 34" paper hex grid map
* 56-page Rulebook
* 56 cards (40 characters, 10 item, 6 monsters)
* 400 die-cut counters
* Errata sheet dated December 1978
* two sets of Charts & Tables
* Diplomacy/solar/personal combat display
* two 6-sided dice

### Army game

In the Army game, 2–6 players control armies of counters using traditional wargame rules of movement and combat, including zones of control and a combat results table (CRT). However, magical spells add a new element to the game. There are fourteen scenarios that have various victory conditions, generally elimination of enemy troops, conquering certain locations or defending certain locations.

### Quest game

In the Quest game, which lasts twelve turns, 3–24 players each have one character that maneuvers on the same map as the Army game to fulfil quests. Some player become Questors, seeking to fulfill quests, and the balance of players defend the objects being sought. Each game sets out a number of quests equal to half the number of players. Questors gain victory points for each quest that is completed, and lose some of those if they are slain. Defenders gain victory points for killing Questors.

## Publication history

With the sudden rise in the mid- and late 1970s of fantasy role-playing games such as *Dungeons & Dragons* and *RuneQuest*, wargaming publisher SPI decided to enter the fantasy game market, and the result was *Swords & Sorcery*, a fantasy-themed wargame designed by Greg Costikyan and developed by Eric Goldberg. Redmond A. Simonsen provided the graphical design, with artwork by Tim Kirk. After publication in 1978, *Swords & Sorcery* rose to No. 1 on SPI's Top Ten Bestseller List, and stayed on the list for the next year. An expansion was proposed for the game but it did not make the production queue.

## Reception

Issue 19 of *The Space Gamer* featured two reviews of *Swords & Sorcery*. In the first, David J. Butler noted that the counters needed in some scenarios were not available, and there were some errors and ambiguities in some scenario setups. Butler also noted several ambiguities in the rules that needed to be addressed. Despite these issues, he concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "this game must be considered a superior addition to any fantasy gamer's collection. Quest and scenario creations and the introduction of characters from other campaigns should keep this game alive a long time." David J. Ritchie vehemently disagreed, saying "it would seem that fantasy gaming has taken another step backward." Ritchie argued that the game fails because it tries to be everything to everyone, noting, "the designers seem lost in the mass of their material and the game lacks any believable rationale upon which to hang itself." He concluded with a strong recommendation NOT to buy, saying, "Beyond playing around with the genre, nothing else seems to have struck the designers as important. \[...\] The resulting disaster is understandable, if not forgivable."

David Ritchie reviewed *Swords and Sorcery* in *Ares Magazine* No. 1, and gave it a below-average rating of 6 out of 9, saying "The game is presented in a series of scenarios and adventures rather than a massive campaign game, which is just as well since the wealth of information presented is almost too much to handle in a lump. Quite complex. The average scenario takes about three hours to play. If you can get past the truly awful puns, it's worth more than a few replays.".

In Issue 22 of *Phoenix*, John and Deidre Evans found a number of troubling omissions and ambiguities in the rules, but despite this, concluded, "*Swords and Sorcery* represents an important and considerable step forward in the development of fantasy board wargaming and we are glad to have it in our games collection."

In the 1980 book *The Complete Book of Wargames*, game designer Jon Freeman commented that "it is not intended, even vaguely, to be a serious game ... This is as much a toy as a game. It is an enormous joke, and one you're invited to join in." Freeman gave this game an Overall Evaluation of "Good", concluding, "A bit of restraint all around would have helped make this a better and more coherent game and one more acceptable to the majority of gamers, but if you enjoy the designers' brand of humor, you'll have a lot of fun with this."

In a retrospective review in Issue 9 of *Simulacrum*, Mark Wegierski noted that "SPI was trying to appeal to a large element of the most stereotypical D&D mentality when it chose to make the background of its *S&S* game a thoroughly ridiculous world ... In any event, the game probably looked too complicated to attract the average *D&D*er into playing it, while most historical gamers had no interest in it."

In another retrospective review of *Swords & Sorcery* in *Black Gate*, John ONeill said "*Swords and Sorcery* was created by legendary game designer Greg Costikyan relatively early in his career. While it's clearly a product of its time — owing a huge debt to Tolkien for, well, just about everything, including the race histories and the entire story structure — it also has enough original touches to give the game a distinct flavor."

## Awards

At the 1979 Origins Awards, *Swords & Sorcery* was a finalist for the Charles S. Roberts Award for "Best Fantasy / Futuristic Board Game of 1978."

# Bolesław Gładych

**Bolesław Michal Gładych** (17 May 1918  12 July 2011) was a Polish fighter pilot, a flying ace of World War II. He was born in Warsaw.

## Polish Air Force

As a boy, Gladych was expelled from various schools, before choosing a military career. He graduated *summa cum laude* from the Polish Air Force Academy. He was commissioned on 1 September 1939, too late to see active service in the Polish campaign. He led a group of newly commissioned pilots to evacuate the PZL P.7 fighters of the Polish Pilot's School to neutral Romania. Escaping from the Romanian internment camp Turnu Severin (reputedly killing a guard in the process) he reached France, where he joined the recently formed Polish manned "Finnish" Squadron, intended to participate in the Finnish-Soviet war. The squadron became an *Armee de l'Air* Polish volunteer unit - *Groupe de Chasse I/145*. The unit was equipped with the experimental Caudron C.714 "Cyclone" fighter.

Later, Gladych recalled an air combat with a Bf 109E on 10 June 1940. After a long dogfight, the Pole's fighter was severely damaged. The pilot of the Messerschmitt - with the number "13" on its side - simply waggled his wings and disengaged. This, according to Gladych, was the first of several encounters with *Luftwaffe* ace *Hauptmann* Georg-Peter Eder. (Although according to *Luftwaffe* records Eder flew his first sorties with JG 51 in September 1940.)

Reputedly, 'Mike' claimed several air victories with the French Air Force, although this cannot be confirmed from surviving records.

## Royal Air Force

Gladych did reach the UK in 1940, attending 57 OTU before transferring to the famous No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron in October 1940, although again records suggest a later arrival in 1941. He claimed 3 Bf 109's shot down and a probable in 2 sorties on 23 June 1941, although after the second sortie he then crashed his damaged Spitfire at RAF Manston, and hit a telegraph pole, receiving a fractured skull, facial cuts, and a fractured collarbone.

Gladych returned to operations in October 1941 and was transferred to 302 Squadron "City of Poznan' in July 1942, joining it after recuperative leave in December 1942. By May he was a flight commander and had been promoted to Flight Lieutenant.

Gladych detailed in a magazine article years later (Real magazine, New York, April–May 1960) another encounter with *Hauptmann* Georg-Peter Eder. After crippling Gladych's Spitfire in the spring of 1943, yet again Eder flew alongside his victim and waggled his wings, before flying away.

The two aces possibly met in combat once more in 1944, when again Eder shot up Gladych's P-47 aircraft over Vechta, but the Pole cleverly tricked Eder by flying through the German *flak* barrage to escape. (Apparently in 1950 Eder and Gladych met by chance at a pilots reunion in Frankfurt and managed to confirm they had been adversaries in each case.)

Another story relating to Gladych is that in the autumn of 1943 Gladych mistakenly almost shot down the aircraft carrying Prime Minister Winston Churchill. RAF Fighter Command grounded Gladych as a punishment.

## United States Army Air Forces

After ending his second RAF tour in January 1944, Gladych, along with fellow Pole Flt Lt. Witold Lanowski, arranged a wholly unofficial secondment to the 56th Fighter Group of the U.S. Army Air Forces in early 1944. Recruited by Major Francis Gabreski of the 56th, who as a captain had previously been attached to the RAF Polish Fighter Wing in 1942, Gladych helped organized battle training for American replacement pilots, and was assigned to Gabreski's 61st Fighter Squadron. On 21 February 1944 Mike downed 2 Bf 109s in a single sortie.

When the Polish authorities became aware of the arrangement in June 1944 they attempted to discipline the pair with threats of expulsion from the Polish Air Force. Both continued to fly with the Americans, however, and were consequently expelled. Therefore, Gladych's combat claims with the USAAF are not recognised by the Polish Air Force. Gladych was not formally accepted into the USAAF either (his kill credits were officially recognized, however), and continued to fly unofficially until October 1944, when the Polish Air Force finally relented and sanctioned his secondment. Gladych was carried in American records by his RAF rank of squadron leader but was known in the unit by his equivalent American rank of major. He became the leading figure among six Polish pilots flying with the 61st Fighter Squadron, all but one of whom survived the war.

Gladych had claimed a further 10 air kills and 5 ground kills by the end of September 1944. Gladych reported that on 8 March 1944 while escorting bombers to Berlin, he engaged three Focke-Wulf Fw 190s. Low on fuel, he attempted to disengage after shooting down one of the Fw 190s, but the other two fighters boxed him in and tried to force him to land. As he approached a German airfield configured for landing, Gladych suddenly opened fire on the airfield with his remaining ammunition. German flak gunners responded, but missed Gladych and shot down the two following Fw 190s. When he crossed the English coast his P-47 ran out of fuel, forcing Gladych to bail out.

It was then claimed he flew further (unofficial?) operations with an unnamed P-51 group, claiming a Me 262 jet downed, but this is not confirmed by USAAF records and his ten credited kills were all made with the 61st FS. It is also claimed he intentionally understated the total of his air victories lest he be promoted and transferred off combat duties.

He was awarded the Virtuti Militari, Cross of Valour with three bars by the Polish Air Force, the DFC by the RAF, and the Silver Star and two clusters, the Air Medal and three clusters by the USAAF. He also claimed to have been awarded the *Croix de Guerre* for the sortie on 8 March 1944 when he strafed an airfield after shooting down an Fw 190.

He nicknamed the numerous P-47's assigned to him *Pengie*, after the nickname of his then girlfriend, a Canadian WAAF, continuing the series up to *Pengie V* as he received newer aircraft. The name included a cartoon image of a penguin on the left side of the engine cowling.

His wartime 'score' totals 17 claimed destroyed, 2 probables, 1 shared damaged, and 5 ground kills. His ten kills with the 56th FG are officially recognized by the U.S. Air Force, as are the 4 kills by Lanowski. (*USAF Historical Study No. 85: USAF Credits for the Destruction of Enemy Aircraft, World War II*, Air Force Historical Research Agency).

## Post-war biography

After the war ended, Gladych was allegedly involved in black market smuggling across Europe. In the early 1950s, he was recruited by the CIA to join a newly composed Project ARTICHOKE operating from Washington DC.

He also located his brother (a Polish resistance fighter) in a German POW camp in Austria, which had been liberated by the Russians in 1945. Anticipating the fact that most of the Polish resistance falling into the hands of the Soviets were likely to be deported to Siberia, Gladych used his USAAF status to visit the camp and managed to smuggle his brother out to the West.

After the war "Mike" Gladych emigrated to Seattle, Washington, obtaining a PhD degree and becoming a United States citizen. Until his death, he lived in the area where he practiced psychotherapy. He was a long-term practitioner of Yoga Nidra and integrated yoga into his therapeutic approach.

Mike was considered by many who knew him to be a Yogi, a name that he did not resist. As he described it, he encountered a man from India in a boarding house in England where he lived during World War II. A woman opened her house to people in the armed forces and others. Mike said that he struck up a conversation with the man, who described that he was a Yogi and had been charged by his master (not sure if that is the right word) to travel to England and teach willing people about Yoga. Mike was enthralled and accepted the man's teachings. According to Mike, he told the man that he had to resign his commission in the Air Force because he spent his days dropping bombs on people and trying to kill enemy pilots. The man told him that he had made a commitment to England and asked how he could break that commitment. Mike says that he asked the man, "Am I supposed to drop bombs on people all day and then talk to you about Yoga at night?" and that the man replied, "Yes, of course."

Mike said that his mission in life was to help people live harmoniously, which appears to have meant being at peace with the contradictions in life. Despite the many contradictions in his own life, Mike always seemed to be at peace with things, and he tried to share that with others. His visiting card for his psychotherapy practise read "Yoga Therapy." His wife, Elizabeth, "Pengie" died in 2008.

# Constantin Querard

**Constantin Querard** is a conservative political consultant based in Arizona.

## Personal life

Querard holds an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management. Querard moved to Arizona from Denver, Colorado, and is the son of a Russian mother and a French father.

## Political activities

Querard established the conservative Arizona Family Project.

Following the passage of a 1998 Arizona "clean elections" law, Querard became an important campaign manager in Arizona politics. One of Querard's first clients was Colette Rosati, who Querard convinced to run for the Arizona House of Representatives after deciding that the other Republican candidates were insufficiently conservative. Rosati, previously a homemaker, would ultimately win both the primary and the general election in her Phoenix-based district. By taking advantage of matching funds provisions and emphasizing "louder, bolder" conservatism, Querard helped lead numerous Republicans to victories in state legislative races.

In 2004, Querard's campaign practices were investigated by the Arizona Attorney General's Office and the Citizens Clean Elections Commission. Querard was cleared of those matters and received an apology from the Maricopa GOP for the actions of its chairman at the time.

By 2014, Querard had 25 clients in the state legislature and by 2016, 27 of the 52 Republicans in the State Legislature had been elected by Querard. Querard has been described as "one of the architects" of conservative control of the Arizona legislature.

In addition to his work for state legislative candidates, Querard has also consulted for other campaigns at various levels, from Mayors like Surprise's Skip Hall and Glendale's Jerry Weiers, all the way up to the U.S. Senate and even President of the United States (Cruz 2016)

Querard also does a limited amount of lobbying at the Arizona State Capitol, and has been very active on Article V issues like the Balanced Budget Amendment, Term Limits, and the Convention of States.

title: Trend line (technical analysis)

abstract: In finance, a trend line is a bounding line for the price movement of a security. It is formed when a diagonal line can be drawn between a minimum of three or more price pivot points. A line can be drawn between any two points, but it does not qualify as a trend line until tested. Hence the need for the third point, the test. Trend lines are commonly used to decide entry and exit timing when trading securities. They can also be referred to as a Dutch line, as the concept was first used in Holland. A support trend line is formed when a securities price decreases and then rebounds at a pivot point that aligns with at least two previous support pivot points. Similarly a resistance trend line is formed when a securities price increases and then rebounds at a pivot point that aligns with at least two previous resistance pivot points. Stock often begin or end trending because of a stock catalyst such as a product launch or change in management. Trend lines are a simple and widely used technical analysis approach to judging entry and exit investment timing. To establish a trend line historical data, typically presented in the format of a chart such as the above price chart, is required. Historically, trend lines have been drawn by hand on paper charts, but it is now more common to use charting software that enables trend lines to be drawn on computer based charts. There are some charting software that will automatically generate trend lines, however most traders prefer to draw their own trend lines. When establishing trend lines it is important to choose a chart based on a price interval period that aligns with your trading strategy. Short term traders tend to use charts based on interval periods, such as 1 minute, with longer term traders using price charts based on hourly, daily, weekly and monthly interval periods. However, time periods can also be viewed in terms of years. For example, below is a chart of the S&P 500 since the earliest data point until April 2008. While the Oracle example above uses a linear scale of price changes, long term data is more often viewed as logarithmic: e.g. the changes are really an attempt to approximate percentage changes than pure numerical value. Trend lines are typically used with price charts, however they can also be used with a range of technical analysis charts such as MACD and RSI. Trend lines can be used to identify positive and negative trending charts, whereby a positive trending chart forms an upsloping line when the support and the resistance pivots points are aligned, and a negative trending chart forms a downsloping line when the support and resistance pivot points are aligned. Trend lines are used in many ways by traders. If a stock price is moving between support and resistance trend lines, then a basic investment strategy commonly used by traders, is to buy a stock at support and sell at resistance, then short at resistance and cover the short at support. The logic behind this, is that when the price returns to an existing principal trend line it may be an opportunity to open new positions in the direction of the trend, in the belief that the trend line will hold and the trend will continue further.

text:
# Radjamin Purba

**Radjamin Purba** (22 December 1928  16 February 1977) was an Indonesian military officer and politician who served as the Regent of Simalungun from 1960 until 1973.

## Early life and career

Radjamin Purba was born on 22 December 1928, at Bangunpurba, a small village in Haranggaol, Simalungun. He was born as the son of Djaingon Purba and Rosmainta Saragih.

## Military career

During the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, Purba worked as an employee in the government's office on Pematangsiantar. Following the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence, Purba resigned from his job and entered the fledgling armed forces of Indonesia with the rank of first lieutenant. A year later, in 1946, Purba was sent on a trip to study at the Military Academy in Jogjakarta. Two year later, he graduated from the academy, and became the member of a program to reduce the size of the army by retaining only professional soldiers.

In November 1949, Purba became a liaison officer for Sumatran affairs in Yogyakarta. At the same time, he was also appointed as the member of the Central Joint Board for prisoner of war affairs. After the end of the Indonesian National Revolution, Purba was appointed as a military officer which handled personalia affairs.

Following the implementation of the Re-Ra policy (Reorganization and Rationalization), Purba was demoted to Second Lieutenant in 1951. He was promoted to First Lieutenant in 1953 when he enrolled in the Military Law Academy. He graduated from the academy in 1956 with the rank of Captain and a law degree. He moved to Sumatra, and became a staff in the Regional War Authority of North Sumatra. He briefly became an officer at the Indonesian Army Law Service before being assigned to the post of the Regent of Simalungun.

## Regent of Simalungun

### Inauguration

On 15 July 1960, Radjamin Purba was inaugurated as the Regent of Simalungun by Raja Junjungan Lubis, the Governor of North Sumatra at that time. His term was intended to end in 1966, but due to the crisis caused by the 30 September Movement, his term was extended until 1967.

By the mid-1967, an election for the new Regent was held by the Regional People's Representative Council of Simalungun. The council unanimously voted for Radjamin Purba to serve his second term. Purba was inaugurated on 26 August 1967 by Marah Halim Harahap.

### Simalungun University

## Later life and death

In February 1973, Purba's second term ended, and he was replaced by Colonel T.P.R. Purba. He moved to Jakarta, where he became the Inspector of the Headquarters for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. During an interview conducted by Lieutenant Colonel Mailan Damti Purba, Radjamin Purba stated that he wanted to dedicate his retirement life for the development of the Simalungun University.

At 03.00 on 16 February 1977, Radjamin Purba died in Jakarta after suffering a heart attack following his trip from Bandung. The news of his death quickly spread to Simalungun. The members of the *Partuha Maujana* gathered and requested the central government in Jakarta to bury Radjamin Purba's body in Pematangsiantar. The central government refused to fulfill the request and buried him at the Kalibata Heroes' Cemetery.

The burial ceremony was done on 17 February 1977, and Radjamin Purba was posthumously promoted from Colonel to Brigadier General.

## Legacy

Several buildings were named after Purba. A sports venue constructed in 2002 and a hall in the Simalungun University was named after him. The university also erected a full body statue of Purba in May 2012. The street in front of the university was also named after him.

## Personal life

Purba was married to Nana Kencana, a West Javanese aristocrat, in 1958. The marriage resulted in six children, namely Budi Raja Manggala, Darmayanti, Pandu, Suhaerani, Kurniaty, and Adi Rajadiningrat.

Purba was a Protestant Christian.

# Schober's test

**Schober's test** is a physical examination used in family medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, rheumatology to measure the ability of a patient to flex the lower back.

## Procedure

While the patient is in a standing position the examiner makes a mark approximately at the level of L5 (fifth lumbar vertebra). Two points are marked: 5 cm below and 10 cm above this point (for a total of 15 cm distance). Then the patient is asked to touch his/her toes while keeping the knees straight. If the distance of the two points do not increase by at least 5 cm (with the total distance greater than 20 cm), then this is a sign of restriction in the lumbar flexion. This can be useful in examining a patient suspected of ankylosing spondylitis.

## History

The test was first described in 1937 by Dr Paul Schober (March 11, 1865 - August 22, 1943), a German physician.

# Race Today

***Race Today*** was a monthly (later bimonthly) British political magazine. Launched in 1969 by the Institute of Race Relations, it was from 1973 published by the *Race Today* Collective, which included figures such as Darcus Howe, Farrukh Dhondy, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Leila Hassan and Jean Ambrose. The magazine was a leading organ of Black politics in 1970s Britain; publication ended in 1988.

## History

*Race Today* was established in 1969 by the Institute of Race Relations. From 1973 onward, the monthly magazine was under the direction of a breakaway organisation, the Brixton-based *Race Today* Collective. This body aimed for a political rather than scholarly approach, based on a combination of libertarian Marxism and radical anti-racism.

The magazine's first editor under the new leadership was journalist and broadcaster Darcus Howe. Howe was much influenced by Trinidadian Marxist C. L. R. James, and under his tenure *Race Today* became a leading voice of Black political journalism in Britain. (James would later live his final years in the building that housed the office of *Race Today*, at 165 Railton Road in Brixton, where a blue plaque was installed by English Heritage in 2004.) A compilation of Howe's arguments in *Race Today* appeared in a 1978 pamphlet entitled *The Road Make to Walk on Carnival Day*.

Farrukh Dhondy, later the author of a biography of C. L. R. James, began his writing career with *Race Today* in 1970. Another notable member of the *Race Today* Collective was Linton Kwesi Johnson, who joined the group in 1974. His first book of poems appeared the same year under the *Race Today* imprint, and he later served as the magazine's arts editor. The publication and its editor feature prominently in the song "Man Free (For Darcus Howe)" on Linton Kwesi Johnson's 1978 debut album *Dread Beat an' Blood* with his then band Poet and the Roots.

In the mid-1970, the *Race Today* Collective allied with the Black Panther Movement formed by John La Rose, who had been the chairman of the Institute of Race Relations in 1972 and 1973. In 1978, the magazine's publication frequency changed from monthly to bimonthly.

In 1985, Leila Hassan became the journal's editor; both the magazine and the *Race Today* Collective were discontinued in 1988. Described as "the most articulate organ of British Black politics in the 1970s", *Race Today* maintained close ties to the Notting Hill Carnival.

Race Today Publications was one of the organisers of the International Book Fair of Radical Black and Third World Books, together with New Beacon Books and Bogle-L'Ouverture Publications.

In September 2019, the book *Here to Stay, Here to Fight: A Race Today Anthology*, edited by Paul Field, Robin Bunce, Leila Hassan and Margaret Peacock, was published by Pluto Press. *Race Today* (2020), a film documenting the Race Today collective and its influence, was directed by Wayne G. Saunders, with Jean Ambrose as screenwriter and Linton Kwesi Johnson in the cast.

In March 2023, to commemorate what would have been the 80th birthday of Darcus Howe, the Race Today Legacy Collective launched the magazine's online digital archive. The launch at Goldsmiths University of London coincided with the publication of a commemorative Special Issue, the first publication of *Race Today* since 1988, edited by Leila Hassan, Deirdre Osborne and Margaret Peacock. Gary Younge gave the keynote lecture at the event.

# Race Wong

**Race Wong** is a Singaporean actress, singer and businesswoman. She was one of the former Hong Kong cantopop duo singer group 2R alongside her elder sister Rosanne Wong.

## Professional background

Born in Malaysia, raised in Singapore, she pursued her career in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong with her sister Rosanne Wong which won her various awards for her singing career as the cantopop group 2R, including Most Promising Newcomer and Most Popular Group Award in the Annual Top 10 Song of the Year Awards (2003), Metro Broadcasting Music awards (2004), TVB Top 10 Songs of the Year (2004) and Hong Kong Commercial Radio Music Awards’ (2003).

Wong became a spotlight when she was chosen to star alongside Stephen Chow in his famous annual San Miguel TV advertisement. Following that, she rose to fame for her leading role in a TVB youth series *Hearts of Fencing*. Which jumpstarted both her singing and acting career.

Wong hoped to focus her acting on roles beyond her youthful and sweet appearance. Her outstanding performance in her first leading role in the movie Abnormal Beauty won her a nomination for the Best New Actor in the 24th Annual Hong Kong Film Awards (2005) and the 42nd Golden Horse Film Awards' (2005) in Taiwan. Wong continued to experiment with different roles both on-screen and off-screen. In 2006, together with her sister Rosanne Wong, they took on groundbreaking leading roles in a musical adaption of The Smiling Proud Wanderer stage performance by the Hong Kong Dance Company (2006) where Rosanne famously shaved bald for the role. The musical enjoyed a success which brought them to perform in Shanghai the following year.

Later in 2008, Wong's starring role as a pregnant new immigrant from China was a break away from her usual youthful image in the movie True Women for Sale which earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2009.

Over the years as 2R, Wong has been a product spokesperson for various products such as Modern Beauty, Microworks Technology, Citicall, Biotherm, SAFA Mp3, 2R Online, 花花瘦身茶 (Fruity Flower Tea) and Polaroid & Cool-iCam.

In 2010, Wong took a Masters of Business course and graduated with a Masters of Business majoring in Marketing from the University of Newcastle (Australia) in 2013. Concurrently in 2011, she made an unexpected career change into finance, taking on the role of Marketing Manager at Maybank Kim Eng Securities (Hong Kong). She was licensed with the Securities and Futures Commission to conduct equities trading.

The year she turned 30, Wong relocated back to Singapore where her family is based. Together with her younger sister, Rhonda, she set up Anthill Realtors Pte. Ltd in 2013. She then co-founded Ohmyhome Pte Ltd in 2016, a tech company focused on connecting buyers to sellers, landlords to tenants in real estate. When asked about her career move, Wong said that she wanted to focus her attention on something that will provide more value to people, something on the opposite spectrum of her celebrity lifestyle.

## Personal life

Wong had a daughter, Cara Loh, born in 2017. She birthed her second child, Damon in 2021.

The Udawalawe National Park located approximately 160 km (99 mi) away from Colombo, is the closest national park to Colombo.

The town is also notable, because of the Udawalawe Reservoir, which was created in 1969, following the construction of a 3.9 km (2.4 mi) dam and a 6 MW (8,000 hp) hydro-electric plant on the Walawe river. The reservoir is the third largest reservoir in Sri Lanka.

# USS Lloyd

**USS *Lloyd* (DE-209/APD-63)**, a *Buckley*-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy, was named in honor of Ensign William R. Lloyd (1916–1942).

## Namesake

William Rees Lloyd was born on 23 September 1916 in Monticello, Florida. He enlisted in the United States Navy on 9 October 1940. He was appointed midshipman on 15 December 1940 and commissioned Ensign on 14 March 1941. He served briefly aboard USS *Luzon*, then reported to USS *Oahu* on 26 September 1941. He was killed in action on 6 May 1942 when *Oahu* was sunk at Corregidor at the close of the Battle of Corregidor. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.

## Construction and commissioning

*Lloyd* was laid down on 26 July 1943 by the Charleston Navy Yard, launched on 23 November 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Ella Lee Lloyd, mother of Ensign Lloyd; and commissioned on 11 February 1944.

## Service history

### World War II, 19441946

After shakedown off Bermuda, the new destroyer escort left Norfolk, Virginia on 12 May 1944 with 13 other destroyer escorts and a convoy of 100 transport ships bound for North Africa. The British relieved the escort ships at Bizerte, Tunisia, on 1 June; nine days later *Lloyd* and her sister ships departed to escort another convoy on the westward passage home. While en route, *Lloyd* was reclassified **APD-63** on 5 July 1944 and ordered to report to the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 29 June for conversion to a *Charles Lawrence*-class high speed transport.

Three months later, after conversion and shakedown, *Lloyd* steamed for the Pacific War zones, touched Bora Bora, Society Islands, on 20 October, and arrived Hollandia, New Guinea, on 4 November. Soon thereafter she became the permanent flagship for Transport Division 103.

Moving to Leyte on 23 November, for the next five months *Lloyd* transported invasion troops, as the Allies completed the Philippine liberation. In her first action on 7 December, the new transport ship landed troops at Ormoc on the western coast of Leyte. Ten days later he took part in the daring strike at Mindoro, the Japanese held island 500 miles northwest of Leyte. After Mindoro, she steamed via Lingayen to Hollandia to embark troops for the assault at Lingayen Gulf in northern Luzon. Departing New Guinea on 4 January 1945, she landed her troops at Lingayen a week later. That afternoon, the transport's guns knocked out an enemy shore battery. The next day *Lloyd* departed and fought her way back to Leyte, splashing four enemy suicide planes during the three-day passage.

During February the ship took part in the assaults on San Felipe and Subic Bay. On the 28th, she brought troops from Mindoro to help liberate the Island of Palawan, a vital stepping stone to Borneo. Another gateway to Borneo, Mindanao, ignored as the Navy leapfrogged to Leyte and Luzon, now had to be secured. Jumping off from Mindoro 8 March, two days later, *Lloyd* put troops ashore to liberate Zamboanga on the westernmost tip of Mindanao, then steamed to Leyte that evening.

Following repairs and patrol duty off Leyte during April, the ship shifted operations to Morotai on 7 May to participate in the liberation of Borneo. From 28 May to 19 June, she assisted the amphibious forces landing at Brunei Bay on the western coast of Borneo. During early July, *Lloyd* twice ferried reinforcements from Morotai to the landings at Balikpapan on the eastern coast.

In the last weeks of the war, the ship trained Army troops in amphibious warfare, then after V-J Day, transported occupation units from Okinawa to Korea. She departed Okinawa for Pearl Harbor on 26 November 1945, en route to the east coast to join the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. She reached the Brooklyn Navy Yard on 2 January 1946. Following a month in drydock, she steamed to Green Cove Springs, Florida, and decommissioned there on 1 July 1946.

### Korean War, 19511953

Under the demands of the Korean War, *Lloyd* recommissioned on 3 January 1951. After shakedown in Chesapeake Bay and availability at the Boston Naval Shipyard, she reported to the Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Virginia, on 26 September for local training duty. From April through October she operated with the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean.

### Atlantic coast, 19531958

From 1953 through 1957 the high speed transport continued to operate with the Marines out of Little Creek, VA. During this period she often operated in the Caribbean and visited most of the ports along the eastern seaboard. During this same period she also carried UDT (Underwater Demolition Teams) on demolition and retrieval exercises. She also participated in many ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare) exercises in concert with U.S submarines; during these exercises she operated as a team with U.S. Coast Guard ships during the submarine chasing. The Lloyd was also deployed with a small group of other ships to the Suez Canal during the Suez crisis – the group was recalled back to port after about 2 days at sea and never got to the Canal.

### Decommissioning and sale

*Lloyd* decommissioned on 18 February 1958 at Charleston, South Carolina, and rejoined the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. She was struck from the Navy List on 1 June 1966 and sold for scrap.
