title: Serum chloride

abstract: Chloride is an anion in the human body needed for metabolism. It also helps keep the body's acid-base balance. The amount of serum chloride is carefully controlled by the kidneys. Chloride ions have important physiological roles. For instance, in the central nervous system, the inhibitory action of glycine and some of the action of GABA relies on the entry of Cl− into specific neurons. Also, the chloride-bicarbonate exchanger biological transport protein relies on the chloride ion to increase the blood's capacity of carbon dioxide, in the form of the bicarbonate ion; this is the mechanism underpinning the chloride shift occurring as the blood passes through oxygen-consuming capillary beds. The normal blood reference range of chloride for adults in most labs is 96 to 106 milliequivalents (mEq) per liter. The normal range may vary slightly from lab to lab. Normal ranges are usually shown next to results in the lab report. A diagnostic test may use a chloridometer to determine the serum chloride level. The North American Dietary Reference Intake recommends a daily intake of between 2300 and 3600 mg/day for 25-year-old males.

title: Silver Strand Beach

abstract: Silver Strand Beach is an unincorporated beach neighborhood in Ventura County, California, United States. Lying between the mouth of Channel Islands Harbor on the north and the ocean entrance to the Port of Hueneme on the south, the eastern side of the beach community lies along the boundary of the Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme. The harbors and the Naval base almost completely surround Silver Strand, keeping the area relatively separate from the city of Oxnard and making it accessible by only one main road, Victoria Avenue. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has combined Silver Strand with two other historic neighborhoods, Hollywood Beach and Hollywood by the Sea, to define a census-designated place (CDP) named Channel Islands Beach. Because of its location near an open water trench, it is common to see a large array of marine life including dolphins, seals, and jellyfish. Silver Strand is also home to the Oxnard Base of the United States Coast Guard.

For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has combined Silver Strand with two other historic neighborhoods, Hollywood Beach and Hollywood by the Sea, to define a census-designated place (CDP) named Channel Islands Beach.

Because of its location near an open water trench, it is common to see a large array of marine life including dolphins, seals, and jellyfish. Silver Strand is also home to the Oxnard Base of the United States Coast Guard.

## Description

Silver Strand, commonly referred to as "The Strand" or "Strand", is a collection of mostly post-WW II single-family homes, some Multi-Family homes, and some newer homes directly on the beach. There are two small zoned commercial districts. The main commercial district is centered around Roosevelt Boulevard and consists of a collection of small restaurants, a yoga studio, and a few real estate offices and other small businesses. The second commercial zone is located at the south end of the beach and features a local beer & wine establishment.

Channel Islands Beach Community Services District provides local control over utilities services for Silver Strand and the unincorporated beach-front communities to the north that were separated by the construction of the ocean entrance to Channel Islands Harbor. The Population is 3,315. Median Household income is $71,850 with a per capita income $42,974. Median age is 39. The population is 89% White Non-Hispanic.

### Name

Silver Strand is known by numerous different names and spelling. When the name was created as part of the Hollywood Beach subdivision in 1924 it was spelled as one word *Silverstrand*. However, in the Ventura county coastal zoning ordinance the area is referred to with two words *Silver Strand*.

## History

The Silver Strand Beach community dates back to 1924 when the Hollywood Beach subdivision was initiated in unincorporated Ventura County. Silver Strand was mapped in 1925, and Hollywood by the Sea in 1926. Hollywood by the Sea is located adjacent to Silver Strand on the east side of Victoria Avenue / Roosevelt Boulevard. The harbor, which was constructed in the 1960s, is located where much of Hollywood by the Sea once stood. The original Hueneme lighthouse, constructed in 1874, was adjacent to the south end of the neighborhood but the establishment of the Naval Construction Battalion Center blocked direct access to Hueneme on the other side of the port and took over the south five blocks of the Silver Strand.

### Shipwreck

In 1970, the declining luxury cruise liner La Jenelle, formerly known as the SS Arosa Star, had been anchored off Silverstrand awaiting investments for reconditioning. On April 13 strong winds pushed the ship near the entrance of the Port of Hueneme. With only two crewmen aboard, they were unable to keep the wind and high waves from pushing the boat onto a sand bar near the beach where the ship capsized. Since the boat was well over 50 years old, it was abandoned by its owners and quickly started disintegrating in the surf. To prevent injury, the navy cut the exposed top off the boat and then filled hull and surrounding area with rocks and sand. This created a breakwater for the port as well as a popular fishing spot on the south end of the beach. Parts of the deck and hull are still visible from the south jetty and a full-length view of the ship can be seen from the ocean.

## Beach

Silver Strand Beach is a one-mile-long sandy beach (1.6 km) about 150-yard in width (140 m). It is capped by the north and south jetties which both have small parking lots and limited restroom facilities. In February 2014, construction started close to the parking lot near the north jetty to build a 2-story lifeguard tower with restrooms to replace the previous one that was there since 1967, but demolished in 2002 due to storm damage. The coast is a sandy bottom beach break which can sometimes feature rip tides and an undertow. Lifeguards are on duty every day during the summer and off duty from Sept to May.

## Localism

The area's isolated setting and blue-collar/Naval history contributes to a reputation for localism among Silver Strand's surfers. The Silver Strand Locals, often referred to as SSL, have been featured in the documentary *The Swell Life*.

## Music and entertainment

Silver Strand Beach is credited as being the birthplace of the Nardcore style of hardcore punk music. Oxnard was the epicenter of the early 1980s hardcore punk scene in Southern California, and many of its founding genre bands were from Silverstrand, most notable being Dr. Know, Stalag 13, Ill Repute, and Agression.

## Plot

As described in various film magazine reviews, Jessica Weston, unhappy in her marriage to her feckless husband, travels to her ranch in Wyoming. Her husband accompanies her, but is more interested in Molly, proprietress of the local saloon, than he is in Jessica. This incurs the wrath of ranch hand Ross, who is in love with Molly.

Meanwhile Jessica is rescued by neighbouring ranch owner Teddy North when her horse abandons her on an island; an attraction develops between them which deepens when Teddy again saves Jessica, this time from a mountain stream.

At a dance in the local saloon, Weston arrives with Molly, angering both Jessica and Ross. A fight breaks out at the same time that the power cuts out, and when light is restored, Weston is found to have been shot dead. Both Jessica and Teddy believe the other to be responsible for the crime, but, to save Jessica from prosecution, Teddy assumes the guilt.

Matters are resolved when Molly confesses that it was in fact Ross who shot Weston out of jealousy. Now that the question of guilt has been answered, Jessica and Teddy are free to pursue their romance.

text:
# CBASIC

**CBASIC** is a compiled version of the BASIC programming language written for the CP/M operating system by Gordon Eubanks in 1976–1977. It is an enhanced version of **BASIC-E**.

## History

BASIC-E was Eubank's master's thesis project. It was developed in PL/M by Eubanks for Gary Kildall's new CP/M operating system while both men were at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. BASIC-E was based on a BASIC compiler originally written by Gary Kildall in 1974.

Because it was developed at public expense, BASIC-E is in the public domain and cannot be marketed exclusively. Seymour Rubinstein, the marketing director of IMSAI contacted Eubanks and asked him to create a saleable version under contract for the IMSAI 8080 microcomputer. Eubanks developed CBASIC in his spare time while he was still a naval officer stationed on the submarine USS *George Washington* at Vallejo, California. He retained joint ownership of the program with IMSAI, and sold the program through his own company, *Compiler Systems*, until it was acquired by Digital Research in 1981.

* CBASIC COMPILER VER 2.07
* CRUN VER 2.38 / COPYRIGHT 1981 COMPILER SYSTEMS INC.

## Features

BASIC-E and early versions of CBASIC compiled source code into an intermediate p-code file, which was then executed by a separate run-time interpreter program. CBASIC could execute in a minimum of 24 KB of memory. Line numbers in the program source were optional, unless needed as a label for a program jump. CBASIC proved very popular because it incorporated 14-digit binary-coded decimal (BCD) math which eliminated MBASIC's rounding errors that were sometimes troublesome for accounting.

CBASIC2 adds the following features:

* Integer variables
* Chaining with common variables
* Additional pre-defined functions
* Cross reference capability

## Reception

*InfoWorld* in 1980 described CBASIC as the "primary language for the development of commercial CP/M applications", because of developers' widespread familiarity with BASIC and ability to distribute royalty-free binaries without source code to CBASIC owners. The magazine stated that the language had become popular "despite serious drawbacks", including the required preprocessor for interpreted source code making debugging difficult, slow speed, and incompatible changes. Jerry Pournelle said in May 1983 that Digital Research had "practically ruin\[ed\]" Eubanks' CBASIC manual after acquiring his company, but that the new edition was much better.

title: Sequah Medicine Company

abstract: Sequah Medicine Company was a medicine company that began in 1887 as the Sequah Medicine Co Ltd. It sold patent medicines such as prairie flower and Indian oil using traveling salesman, known as Sequahs. The traveling salesmen were quack doctors. The original Sequah was William Henry Hartley, who founded the company selling supposed Native American remedies in Great Britain and Ireland. The successful pitch quickly drew imitators, to the annoyance of Hartley. One such example is Peter Alexander Gordon, who went under the pseudonym James Kaspar. Gordon sold the Sequah Patent Medicine in Great Britain, Ireland, the West Indies and North America and South Africa. Sequah products were sold using the device of a traveling medicine show. These shows consisted of a warm-up act of music and other entertainments which attracted a crowd in order for the traveling salesman to begin his pitch. The British version, introduced in 1890, was made up of a fairground steam organ. The Government soon declared the practice of selling patent medicines in such a fashion illegal. The company went into liquidation in 1895 and was liquidated on March 26, 1909.

title: John Gibson (RAF officer)

abstract: John Albert Axel Gibson, was a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer and a flying ace of the Second World War. He was credited with the destruction of at least 13 enemy aircraft. Born in Brighton, the United Kingdom, Gibson moved to New Zealand with his mother after his parents divorced. In 1938, he went to England having been accepted for service with the RAF.

# John Gibson (RAF officer)

**John Albert Axel Gibson**, DSO, DFC (24 August 1916 – 1 July 2000) was a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer and a flying ace of the Second World War. He was credited with the destruction of at least 13 enemy aircraft.

Born in Brighton, the United Kingdom, Gibson moved to New Zealand with his mother after his parents divorced. In 1938, he went to England having been accepted for service with the RAF. He flew with No. 501 (County of Gloucester) Squadron during the Battle of France and the subsequent Battle of Britain. Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in late August 1940, he spent much of 1941 as an instructor before briefly serving with No. 457 Squadron. In mid-1942, he was loaned to the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) and served with its No. 15 Squadron, including a period as its commander, during the Solomon Islands campaign in the Pacific. He was later awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his service with the squadron. He returned to Europe in 1945, serving with No. 80 Squadron. After the war, he transferred to the RNZAF but then rejoined the RAF. He retired from the military in late 1954. In his later years, he was involved in civil aviation in South Africa and Rhodesia, and also flew during the Biafran War and the Rhodesian Bush War. He retired to England, where he died aged 83.

## Early life

John Gibson was born Axel John Albert von Wichmann in Brighton, in the United Kingdom, on 24 August 1916, the only child of Violet Lilian née Wells and Axel Charles von Wichmann. Gibson's parents divorced and he went to New Zealand with his mother and her family in 1920. His mother married James Gibson while his father, still in England, later anglicised his family name to Wickman and started the Coventry machine tool manufacturer A.C. Wickman, of Brighton and Hove. Gibson was educated at various schools in Auckland, including Auckland Grammar School, before going on to attend New Plymouth Boy's High School. A good sportsman, he was the school champion in rifle shooting.

## Royal Air Force

In 1937, Gibson applied to the Royal Air Force (RAF) for a short-service commission. When he was provisionally accepted, he went to the United Kingdom, departing New Zealand on 7 April 1938 aboard the RMS *Rangitata*. Just before he left the country, he changed his name by deed poll to John Albert Axel Gibson. He commenced an elementary flying course at Brough Aerodrome, learning to fly on Blackburn B-2 trainer aircraft. Passing the course, he was commissioned as an acting pilot officer on probation on 9 July and went to Uxbridge for formal induction into the RAF.

Gibson went onto No. 3 Flight Training School in South Cerney, flying Hawker Harts and Audaxes, gaining his wings in November. His commission confirmed on 16 August 1939, he became an army cooperation pilot, flying from Farnborough.

## Second World War

In May 1940, as France was invaded by Nazi Germany, Gibson was posted to No. 501 (County of Gloucester) Squadron. His squadron was dispatched from RAF Tangmere across the English Channel to Bétheniville, as reinforcements for the Advanced Air Striking Force. At the time he joined the squadron, it flew Hawker Hurricane fighters, a type which Gibson had not flown before. He was quick to adapt and was involved in a number of actions as the squadron operated in support of the Allied forces as they retreated before the advancing Germans. On 27 May, the squadron encountered 30 Heinkel He 111 medium bombers; Gibson destroyed one and shared in the destruction of another. He himself was then shot down, and crash landed close to Rouen. Unhurt, he was soon back in action. In the following days, he shot down another He 111 and was credited with the probable destruction of two more bombers, plus damaging another three. He was again shot down on 10 June over Le Mans, but not before destroying a Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter. A week later his squadron withdrew to Jersey, from where it covered the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Cherbourg.

### Battle of Britain

Having claimed 45 German aircraft destroyed during its service in France, No. 501 Squadron regrouped at Croydon Airport on 21 June, where it received replacement pilots. From 4 July, it performed convoy patrols off the Isle of Portland, flying from Warmwell. He damaged a He 111 on 9 July, flying over Portland, and a few days later destroyed a Dornier Do 17 medium bomber; the identification of the bomber was suspect, and it may have been a Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighter.

Later in the month, Gibson's squadron moved to Gravesend in Kent, carrying out patrols and intercepting incoming German raids. He shot down a Junkers Ju 87 divebomber over Dover on 29 July, one of a group of Ju 87s being escorted by Bf 109s. He also damaged another Ju 87 in the encounter. During a raid on a convoy near Deal on 12 August, Gibson claimed a Ju 87 as destroyed, observing its pilot bailing out after his attack. He was also credited with the destruction of an escorting Bf 109. Returning to his airfield, he crashed his Hurricane on landing, running it into a crater resulting from a bombing raid. Three days later, leading a section of three Hurricanes that encountered 20 Ju 87s, he destroyed one of the divebombers, seeing it crash into the sea. In the meantime, the airfield at Hawkinge, from which the squadron was operating at the time, was being attacked by more Ju 87s. Gibson and his section returned to deal with the attack, and he damaged one of the Ju 87s. His own aircraft was damaged and set on fire in the encounter; being over the populated area of Folkestone, he stayed with the Hurricane until it was clear of the town before he bailed out.

In another bombing raid mounted by the Luftwaffe, on 24 August over 50 Junkers Ju 88 bombers were intercepted by No. 501 Squadron over Ramsgate. Gibson destroyed one of the Ju 88s, seeing it crash into the sea off Margate. He was promoted to acting flight lieutenant the next day. In the evening of 29 August, he shot down a Bf 109 but was then shot down himself. He parachuted into the English Channel and was rescued by a launch. The next day he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his exploits of 15 August. The published citation read:

> In August, whilst on an offensive patrol over Dover this officer engaged and destroyed a Junkers 87 and was afterwards shot down himself. Although his aircraft was in flames he steered it away from the town of Folkestone and did not abandon the aircraft until it had descended to 1,000 feet. Pilot Officer Gibson has destroyed eight enemy aircraft, and has displayed great courage and presence of mind.
>
> *London Gazette*, No. 34935, 30 August 1940

Gibson's flying officer rank was made substantive in early September and a few days later, on 7 September, the Luftwaffe mounted its first large scale bombing attack on London. Ten RAF squadrons, No. 501 among them, were scrambled to intercept. Over 100 enemy aircraft were engaged by the RAF; Gibson claimed a probable. Later in the month, and now operating from Kenley, he claimed a Bf 109 and a Do 17 as damaged. He himself was wounded in one encounter and hospitalised. Over the next few months, Luftwaffe activity gradually decreased and in December, No. 501 Squadron returned to Filton.

For the first few months of 1941, the squadron converted to Supermarine Spitfire fighters and began preparing for offensive operations. However, in late May, Gibson, needing a rest, was posted to No. 53 Operational Training Unit, at Heston as an instructor. Later in the year, his acting rank of flight lieutenant was made substantive. In late 1941, he returned to operational flying as a flight commander with No. 457 Squadron, an Australian Spitfire squadron based on the Isle of Man. Until March 1942, the squadron was engaged in convoy patrols over the Irish Sea until it switched to offensive operations, flying sweeps from Redhill to occupied France. At the end of May, the squadron was taken off operations in anticipation of a move to Australia.

### Service in the Pacific

In June, Gibson was sent to New Zealand to serve with the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) on loan. He joined the newly formed No. 15 Squadron, which was at the time based at Whenuapai, as a flight commander. The squadron lacked aircraft, its intended P-40 Kittyhawk fighters having been sent to Allied units in the Middle East, which took priority for the equipment. Despite its lack of aircraft, the squadron went to Tonga at the end of October, taking over the Kittyhawks of the American 68th Pursuit Squadron. In addition to its aircrew undergoing operational training, the initial duties of the squadron was responsibility for the defence of Tonga. There were no engagements with the enemy before Gibson returned to New Zealand at the end of the year to take up a staff position at Air Headquarters, Control Group.

In May 1943, Gibson, just promoted to acting squadron leader, attended a course at the Army Staff College at Linton Military Camp before resuming staff duties. In December, he rejoined No. 15 Squadron, at the time based on New Georgia in the Solomon Islands. He took over as its commander from Squadron Leader Michael Herrick. At the start of 1944, the squadron covered the landings at Bougainville, before commencing operations from the island itself. He destroyed a *Zeke*, a variant of the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter, on 23 January during a mission escorting Grumman TBF Avenger divebombers over Rabaul. The next month, the squadron went to New Zealand for a rest. It returned to the South Pacific for another operational tour, flying first from Guadalcanal and then Bougainville. In August, Gibson's secondment to the RNZAF ended and he returned to Europe soon afterwards. His rank of squadron leader had been confirmed the previous month.

### Return to Europe

On arrival back in the United Kingdom, Gibson was posted to No. 80 Squadron, which operated the Hawker Tempest fighter. At the time, the squadron was part of the 2nd Tactical Air Force and was based at Volkel, in the Netherlands. It flew operations attacking ground targets of opportunity; transport, bridges and trains. On 16 March 1945 he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in recognition of his "gallantry and devotion to duty in the execution of air operations in the South-West Pacific area". By this time, he had flown 382 sorties and accumulated over 660 hours of flying on operations.

During Operation Varsity, which took place on 24 March, No. 80 Squadron flew in support of the gliders carrying airborne forces as part of the 21st Army Group's crossing of Rhine. Leading a group of Tempests targeting German transport, Gibson's aircraft was damaged by flak and he had to make a forced landing. Injured in the landing, he had to receive medical treatment in England, ending his active service in the war.

Gibson was credited with twelve enemy aircraft destroyed, one shared destroyed, two unconfirmed destroyed, one probably destroyed and eleven damaged.

## Postwar period

His short service commission completed, Gibson relinquished his rank of acting squadron leader and formally transferred to the RNZAF on 1 December 1945. However, in late 1946 he returned to the RAF, reverting to his substantive rank of flight lieutenant, with his commission extended for four years. He served as Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery's pilot and then from late 1947, was aide and pilot to Marshal of the Royal Air Force Arthur Tedder for an 18-month period. He gained a permanent commission in the RAF in 1951, again in the rank of flight lieutenant. He was promoted to squadron leader again on 1 January 1953. He finally retired from the RAF on 31 December 1954.

## Later life

Gibson settled in South Africa with his wife Isobel née Sharpe; she was his second wife. A wartime marriage, to Ethel Formby, the sister of George Formby, had been dissolved. There was a son from that relationship. He flew commercial aircraft for the Chamber of Mines, based in Johannesburg. In 1965, Gibson formed Bechuanaland National Airways, which operated the Douglas DC-3 and Douglas DC-4. During the Biafran War of 1969–70, Gibson flew for the Rhodesian Air Services airline, which was run by his friend Jack Malloch. Operating from an airstrip that was in fact a widened road, and with his son Michael as co-pilot, he flew in supplies and helped to evacuate refugee children. All the flights were made at night, often with few navigation aids.

He later formed a charter airline Jagair, based at Kariba Dam in Rhodesia. The company, a portmanteau based on Gibson's initials, operated a Cessna 310. He ended his involvement with his airline venture in 1974, but then flew with the Rhodesian Air Force until the end of the Rhodesian Bush War in 1979. He lived in Salisbury, Zimbabwe, working as the operations manager for the Department of Civil Aviation until 1987, when he retired and returned to the United Kingdom. He settled in Nottingham. He died on 1 July 2000 at the age of 83.

# Takadachi Gikeidō

**Takadachi Gikeidō** (高館義経堂) is a Buddhist chapel located in Hiraizumi in what is now southern Iwate Prefecture in the Tōhoku region of Japan, dedicated to Minamoto no Yoshitsune. It was designated a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty in 2014 as part of the Landscapes of the Oku no Hosomichi. It is managed by neighboring Mōtsū-ji.

## Overview

The chapel is located on the site of the Battle of Koromogawa, and was built on the ruins of the Koromogawa Palace (衣川館, *Koromogawa-no-tachi*) of Fujiwara no Motohari as was mentioned in the *Azuma Kagami*. The palace was located on a hill overlooking the Kitakami River some 500 meters east-southeast of the temple of Chūson-ji. In 1189, it was occupied by Fujiwara no Yasuhira, who extended shelter to Minamoto no Yoshitsune after the latter had a falling out with his brother, Minamoto no Yoritomo. This provided Yoritomo with a pretext to declare war on the Northern Fujiwara and his forces quickly overran the defenses of Hiraizumi. The palace was destroyed and was the site of Yoshitsune's last stand with his faithful retainer Benkei, as was celebrated in the medieval account *Gikeiki*.

In 1683, the 4th *daimyō* of Sendai Domain, Date Tsunamura built a memorial chapel on the site, and enshrined a statue of Yotsushine. This was visited by famed poet, Matsuo Basho in 1689, and a memorial stelae was later erected commemorating a famous *haiku* Basho wrote about this site.

These can then be shared via social media, allowing fundraisers to promote their campaigns. Additionally, Rally.org's platform analyzes how users respond to individual posts and provides data analytics tools for fundraisers to analyze their campaigns' effectiveness.

The proprietary payment system developed by Rally.org processes payments directly, rather than needing to use a third party payments platform such as PayPal or Amazon. Additionally, the system offers one-click payment functionality, which allows individuals donating through Rally.org to make multiple donations to different causes and campaigns without having to re-enter their payment information. Although the platform is free to use by fundraisers, the company takes 5.75 percent commission from each donation made through the site. This commission includes Rally.org's payments to credit card companies. Fundraisers do not need to meet a predetermined goal to receive their donations and are able to raise funds on an ongoing basis if they choose.

In addition to the fundraising platform, Rally.org offers space within its San Francisco headquarters for rent at a subsidized rate to non-profits and socially conscious entrepreneurs. The incubator is called RallyPad, and includes mentorship and other benefits. The company also operates a similar startup incubator in Berlin.

As of February 2013, the site had approximately 4.6 million total users, including donors, charitable causes and political campaigns. The company is based in San Francisco and is led by chief executive officer Jon Cole. It also has offices in New York City and Berlin, Germany and has approximately 23 employees.

## History

### Piryx

Tom Serres developing the precursor company, Piryx, in 2009 with co-founders Brian Upton Jonas Lamis and Naveed Lalani, originally as a platform to help political campaigns raise money online. According to Serres, the company's initial aim was to provide a service similar to PayPal, but customized for political fundraising. It was developed as a nonpartisan fundraising platform to be used by political candidates at all levels. The platform allowed donors to make payments directly to a campaign's bank account, and included an app that tracked donations and reported them to the Federal Election Commission. It also included features that campaigns could use to set up a webpage or fundraising tool via a Facebook group.

### Relaunch and venture funding

In June 2011, the company announced that it was rebranding as Rally.org and widening the scope of its platform to a broad range of organizations and individuals, such as charities, filmmakers and students, in addition to political campaigns and candidates. Prior to the relaunch, the company moved its headquarters from Austin to San Francisco.

In June 2012, the company announced that it had raised $7.9 million in its first Series A round of venture capital funding. The funding was raised online through AngelList and was the largest round of Series A venture capital ever raised online. Investors included Greylock Partners, Mike Maples of Floodgate Fund, Michael Birch, Tim Ferriss, Eric Ries and Google Ventures. Investing in Rally.org was Kevin Rose's first investment as a partner at Google Ventures. Serres stated that the company would use the funding to scale the business, hire more engineers and expand into Europe.

In 2012, during the U.S. presidential and congressional elections, the non-partisan platform was used by Governor Mitt Romney's presidential campaign in the general election as its only fundraising platform, as well as by Mayor Julian Castro and Senator Elizabeth Warren. Rally.org was also the platform used for Jon Bon Jovi’s hurricane relief campaign raising funds to rebuild New Jersey communities following Hurricane Sandy.

The company announced the launch of its platform in Europe in February 2013. The global payment system will process transactions in 17 currencies, starting with donations in euros. It also established a new office and startup incubator in Berlin.

Also in February 2013, Rally.org introduced a new feature called Covers, which allows fundraisers to add a video link or image about their cause to their donation form. The new Covers feature was used by film director Sam French to raise money for the two Afghan actors in his film *Buzkashi Boys* to attend the Academy Awards.

## Recognition

*Campaigns and Elections* named Piryx in 2011 and Rally.org in 2012 as the "Best Online Fundraising Tool". Also in 2012, the magazine named Rally.org the "Most Innovative Product of the Year" and named Tom Serres one of its 2012 CampaignTech Innovators for creating Rally.org. In 2013, *Forbes* included Rally.org in its list of "America's Most Promising Companies".

title: Raja Wodeyar I

abstract: Raja Wodeyar I was the ninth maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore. He was eldest son of Chamaraja Wodeyar IV, the seventh maharaja of Mysore. He ruled from 1578, after his cousin Chamaraja Wodeyar V's death, until his death in 1617.

text:
# Raja Wodeyar I

**Raja Wodeyar I** (2 June 1552 – 20 June 1617) was the ninth maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore. He was eldest son of Chamaraja Wodeyar IV, the seventh maharaja of Mysore. He ruled from 1578, after his cousin Chamaraja Wodeyar V's death, until his death in 1617.

## Expelling Vijayanagara envoys

Raja Wodeyar I furthered his father's expelling of the Vijayanagara ambassadors and envoys. During the reign of Sriranga II, who himself faced riots from within his family, Raja Wodeyar removed all Vijayanagara emissaries from the kingdom, except one in Srirangapattana. Although the kingdom declared independence from Vijayanagara and removed its representatives, Mysore continued to recognize the empire and the emperor.

## Mysore Dasara

His procession from the palace to the banni tree in present-day Bannimantap came to be famous after each Mysore king, which, today, has taken the form of the world-famous Mysore Dasara.

Raja Wadiyar is credited with starting the famous Mysore Dasara in 1610 to commemorate the kingdom's independence from the Vijayanagara Empire by offering prayers to the Banni tree, about two miles away from Puragiri–the location of present-day Mysore Palace. His only surviving son, Narasaraja Wadiyar, died just a day before the commencement of Navaratri, but the king, after consulting experts, decreed that the celebration of the ceremonies was not to be interrupted even by the death of members of the royal family.

Raja Wadiyar was a devoted Vaishnavaite, and he donated the famous bejewelled crown to Lord Cheluvarayaswami Temple at Melukote; it is a feature of the Raja Mudi carnival even today. This contribution is contrary to his own lineage, for the Wadiyars regarded the temple of Karigiri Lakshmi Narasimha (at Devarayanadurga in Tumkur) as their household deity. The mere fact that all the Wadiyars end their names by *Narasimharaja Wadiyar* stands testimony to this. During the Emergency of 1975, this crown was confiscated from the royal family by the Government of Karnataka. Legend has it that Raja Wadiyar, having entered the *garbhagruha* (*sanctum sanctorum*) of the Cheluvarayaswami Temple on 20 June 1617, became one with the deity (*aikya*; passed away). An idol (*bhakthi vigraha*) of the king may be found inside the temple and another in the Lakshminarayanaswami Temple inside the Mysore Palace Fort.

# Simeon Lord

**Simeon Lord** (c.28 January 1771 – 29 January 1840) was a pioneer merchant and a magistrate in Australia. He became a prominent trader in Sydney, buying and selling ship cargoes. Despite being an emancipist Lord was made a magistrate by Governor Lachlan Macquarie, and he became a frequent guest at government house. His business dealings were extensive. He became one of Sydney's wealthiest men. He was at various times a retailer, auctioneer, sealer, pastoralist, timber merchant and manufacturer. He is mentioned in many Australian History books, in particular regarding his status as an emancipist.

## Background

Lord, the fourth child of ten children of Simeon Lord and Ann Fielden of Dobroyd (near Todmorden), Yorkshire, England, was born about 28 January 1771. On 22 April 1790, as a 19-year-old, he was convicted to 7 years transportation at the Manchester Quarter Sessions in Lancashire for the theft of 21 pieces of cloth, 100 yards (91 m) of calico and 100 yards (91 m) of muslin. Lord was then transported to New South Wales as part of the Third Fleet on board the *Atlantic*. He arrived in Sydney on 20 August 1791, and the convict lad was assigned to Captain Thomas Rowley of the New South Wales Corps.

## Businessman

Lord developed many business interests in the colony, and became one of Sydney's wealthiest men. Lord's first known business venture was to run a drinking house, and he purchased a license for it in 1798 for £5, after his sentence had expired. The drinking house was documented as being called "The Swan", but when he renewed the license, for a further £5 in 1799, the name was documented as being *The Black Swan*. Simeon also signed as surety on James Squire's establishment called *The Malting Shovel* in 1799. In 1801 it was reported that "Simeon Lord sells rum at 32/- a gallon" ... "these are Governor Kings regulations for the benefit of the Colony while American ships who would be glad to sell their liquor at 5/-, 6/- or 7/- per G. are turned away!". With help from the government like this, it is no wonder that Lord prospered.

In a few years Lord had established a general merchandise and agency business, and in 1800 with a partner purchased a brig the *Anna Josepha* while partnered with shipwright James Underwood. He also became an auctioneer and prospered, a return made in 1804 said that the "estimated value of commercial articles imported from abroad in the hands of Simeon Lord and other dealers was £15,000". Though his position was not comparable with that of Robert Campbell, it is clear that already he was one of the leading merchants of Sydney. His business was on the site of the corner of Bridge Street and Macquarie Place. In 1807 Governor William Bligh spoke adversely about his business dealings with the masters of ships, and Judge Field several years later spoke in a similar way. Aspersions of this kind against members of the emancipist class at this period must, however, be accepted with caution. No doubt Lord was a keen business man well able to look after his own interests, but he also had enterprise and courage, valuable qualities in the developing colony.

About 1805 Lord began a relationship with Mary Hyde (1779–1864), a convict who had arrived in Australia in 1798. Mary already had two children from a previous relationship a business associate of Lord's, the deceased privateer (state-sanctioned pirate) and ship's officer Captain John Black, and Lord became their stepfather. He and Mary went on to have 8 children of their own over the next 15 years.

Also in 1805 Lord went into partnership with Henry Kable and James Underwood, but their association ended in legal disputes in the courts of New South Wales, as did many of Lord's ventures. Lord was immensely litigious, and his affairs also took up a large percentage of the early appeals from the Colony of New South Wales to the Privy Council in England. The records of the Privy Council indicate that his opponents may have had good grounds for arguing that he used the Privy Council as a means of warding off his creditors rather than in a genuine attempt to test the legality of judgments against him. In his partnership with Kable and Underwood he was active in developing the sealing boom at the Antipodes Islands to the south and east of New Zealand's South Island in 1805 to 1807.

Before Lord had begun his relationship with Mary Hyde, he had adopted the orphan Joanna Short (1792–1841). Joanna was the orphan of convicts Elizabeth Drury (died 1793) and Joseph Short (died 1795). In 1806 Simeon's adopted daughter, who was no more than 14, married Francis Williams, a business partner of Lord's, and the couple travelled together to London on business for Lord in 1807. On the ship with Joanna he sent Mary Hyde's 6-year-old daughter Mary Ann Black into the care of her grandfather Reverend John Black in England.

Lord was engaged in trade with New Zealand, and in 1809 had the misfortune to lose a valuable cargo of sealskins in the events surrounding the Boyd massacre. He had chartered the 'Boyd' and sent it to New Zealand to complete its cargo with a consignment of spars. The captain flogged a Māori chief for alleged misbehaviour, and in consequence the vessel was raided and looted, nearly everyone on board being killed. In spite of this disaster Lord joined in an attempt to obtain a monopoly to establish a flax plantation in New Zealand, and manufacture canvas and cordage from it in Sydney. The monopoly was, however, not granted and Lord turned his hands to other things. He employed a man to experiment in dyes and tanning, and was the first to weave with Australian wool. He succeeded in weavings coarse cloths, blankets and stockings and also made hats.

Long before this, in May 1810, Lord was made a magistrate and he became a frequent guest at government house. Governor Lachlan Macquarie in his dispatch to Viscount Castlereagh stating his intention to make Lord a magistrate described him as "an opulent merchant". He was, however, a man of little education, and when John Bigge was making his investigations in 1819–20, the alleged unsuitability of Lord for his position was used as a stick to beat Macquarie. Lord soon afterwards resigned and appears to have been less prosperous in his business for a period.

On 27 October 1814, at St Philip's Church, Sydney Lord married his partner of many years, Mary Hyde. The marriage was held when their fifth child was only one week old. A witness to the wedding was William Wentworth, the son of the family friend D'Arcy Wentworth.

In the 1820s Lord concentrated on pastoral and manufacturing interests. He also succeeded in compounding a claim for land resumed for public purposes in Sydney, by accepting in 1828 a large grant of land in the country. He did not come into public notice after this.

Lord became a large landholder during his lifetime, of both land he purchased himself, and of land grants. Lord's extensive land holdings included land at Petersham, Botany Bay and Tasmania.

Lord died "an immensely wealthy man" at the age of 69 on 29 January 1840 in the family home of "Banks House" at Botany.

## Legacy

Lord's sons also became well known in public life. One of them, George (1818–1880), a pastoralist, was elected to the first New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1856, and transferred to the legislative council in 1877. George was colonial treasurer in the third Martin ministry from December 1870 to May 1872. His eldest son Simeon Jnr. (1810–1892) was a pastoralist in Tasmania and Queensland. Another son, Francis (1812–1897), was a member of parliament for many years, and a third son, Edward (1814–1884), became city treasurer at Sydney and mayor of St Leonards. His stepson John Henry Black (1799–1867) later became the first manager of the Bank of New South Wales. One of his sons-in-law was another successful merchant in Sydney, Prosper de Mestre (1789–1844) who married his stepdaughter Mary Ann Black (1801–1861).

# The City of Trembling Leaves

***The City of Trembling Leaves*** (1945) is a semi-autobiographical novel by Walter Van Tilburg Clark. The novel is a series of parallel narratives detailing the lives and work of a group of redacted characters named Tim Hazard, Lawrence Black, Mary Turner, Rachel Wells, Marjory Hale, "Walt", (the narrator) and assorted other side-characters.

## Plot summary

The book opens over Reno, Nevada, the principal location for most of the stories. Clark describes the city as a scene, composed of several themes brought about by the physical structures of the city's districts. It is the early Twentieth Century. Reno is a bustling small town on the edge of a mountain range, with fantastic scenery all around. The vast majority of the book's elements are introduced by way of the primary character, Tim Hazard, and it is with him that the human narrative of the story begins. We find Tim in grade school and follow his adventures through childhood and adolescence until he becomes a man.

It is composed of so many stories and precious elements contained within, that even if the reader knows everything about the book, its whole storyline, from beginning to end, it is possible to observe countless elements not described in terms of the master narrative. Clark's fondness for the surroundings is not surprising—he grew up in Reno, son of a University of Nevada president. This familiarity with the underlying subject matter of the setting, leads the book to evoke a sense of place not readily found in other works.

## Themes

The narrative touches on a variety of themes, seeming to center around the inevitability of tomorrow and the pursuit of human interests through spirituality, creativity, and friendship. It touches on ideas of inevitability of purpose and futility of wrongly-directed effort.

# Seven Keys (film)

***Seven Keys*** is a 1961 British second feature crime thriller directed by Pat Jackson and starring Alan Dobie. The screenplay was by Jack Davies and Henry Blyth.

## Plot

Russell is a convict who is bequeathed a set of seven keys by a fellow prisoner. After discovering that the deceased was an embezzler who stole £20,000 that was never recovered, on his release Russell sets out to find the cash. However, he must first solve the mystery of which locks the keys fit, and run the gauntlet of the police and a number of gangsters who are after him and the money. He enlists the reluctant assistance of the embezzler's former secretary, and uncovers a blackmail scheme that explains where the money went.

## Cast

## Critical reception

*The Monthly Film Bulletin* wrote: "The mechanically contrived plot gets an understated and sometimes wryly humorous treatment from director Pat Jackson. The suspense is mild at best, but the adroit playing of Alan Dobie and Jeannie Carson gives the film an air of casual nonchalance that is rather refreshing."

*TV Guide* described it as a "well-worn crime picture ...A tame entry directed by former World War II documentarian Jackson, whose later works failed to make any impact on audiences".

*Britmovie* wrote: "Pat Jackson, who made his name with such wartime documentaries as *Western Approaches* \[1944\], intelligently directed this ingenious low-budget crime drama."

title: Tahurwaili

abstract: Tahurwaili was a king of the Hittites, c. early 15th century BC or mid 15th century BC. He was a cousin of the King Telipinu.

text:
# Tahurwaili

**Tahurwaili** was a king of the Hittites (Middle Kingdom), c. early 15th century BC (middle chronology) or mid 15th century BC (short chronology timeline). He was a cousin of the King Telipinu.

## Family

As a first cousin of Telipinu, must have been the son of one of Ammuna's brothers. This would have made him a direct male descendant of Zidanta I, so that his royal blood stemmed ultimately from Zidanta’s wife. It was tenuous, but the blood line was carried on.

## Reign

Tahurwaili is not mentioned in any of many "offering lists", but his existence is confirmed by the seal impressions found in Hattussa. The lack of evidence of his reign indicate his reign was short and perhaps omitted from lists of later rulers.

### Chronology

He ruled sometime between Telepinu and Zidanta II, but otherwise the placement of his rule in the sequence of kings is uncertain. Often he is put after Aluwamna and even Hantili II, based on the style of his seal (see, for example, History of the Hittites), but such decision is speculative. Since he is mentioned in one of the Telepinu's letters (KUB 26:77) and is supposed to be Telepinu's cousin, it makes sense to assume that he ruled right after Telepinu. Here is the reasoning by Bin-Nun: we know that Aluwamna was exiled by Telepinu, so it would be difficult for him to come to the throne right after Telepinu's death. Therefore, it makes sense to assume that the usurper could come to power for a while. Putting Tahurwaili's reign after Hantili II (son of Aluwamna, who is son-in-law of Telepinu) means moving Tahurwaili at least two generations down the time line.

### Treaty with Kizzuwatna

Tahurwaili is assumed to have made a parity treaty with Eheya of Kizzuwatna. Its terms were very similar to a treaty assumed to have been made by Hantili II and Paddatiššu of Kizzuwatna. These kings are usually assumed, because neither of the treaties name of a Hittite king.
