# Rocky Brands

**Rocky Brands, Inc.**, formerly known as **Rocky Shoes & Boots, Inc.**, is a company which designs, develops, manufactures, and markets outdoor, work, western and military footwear, and other outdoor and work apparel and accessories. The company was founded in 1932 in Nelsonville, Ohio, and still maintains its corporate headquarters there.

## History

In 1932, William Brooks, joined by his brother F. M. "Mike" Brooks, founded The William Brooks Shoe Company in Nelsonville, Ohio. Both men had lost their jobs during the Great Depression when Godman Shoe Co. of Columbus went bankrupt. In search of opportunity, the brothers set up shop in a rent-free factory with lent equipment and what would eventually become Rocky Brands was born.

The company originally employed 50 to 100 workers with a production rate of 300 pairs of shoes per day. With a newly constructed addition and the installation of more equipment, by the mid-1930s the factory employed 225 people and production output increased to more than 2,000 pairs per day. During the 1940s and 1950s business continued to grow. While supplying more than one million pairs of shoes and boots for military conflicts such as World War II and the Korean War, the company built key relationships with leading footwear retailers.

But in 1958, William Brooks decided to sell the business to the Irving Drew Shoe Company of Lancaster, Ohio. His nephew, John Brooks, who had worked in the plant full-time since age 17, attempted to make a play for the family-run business, but his efforts were rebuffed. William Brooks refused to sell, telling his nephew the shoe industry had no future.

In 1975, the new owners were getting ready to sell or shut down the business. John Brooks, who stayed through the Irving Drew years as plant manager, bought the business back for $640,000, re-establishing The William Brooks Shoe Company in Nelsonville. John Brooks then brought his son, Mike Brooks, into the business as a product designer and manager. In 1977, Mike Brooks won an award for what now is called the original "Rocky boot," and the company paid $1,000 for a trademark and launched the Rocky brand.

As the company struggled in the early 1980s, the shoe market bounced back, and in 1983, the company began marketing occupational shoes, such as those worn by police officers and mail carriers, under the Rocky brand. It opened up new markets and new distribution methods. Sales rose and in 1988, the company reached $20 million in annual revenue.

Two years after the retirement of John Brooks in 1991, his son, Mike Brooks took the company public, spending nearly three-quarters of a million dollars in the process, changing the name to Rocky Shoes & Boots and initiating the company's initial public offering.

Rocky Shoes & Boots acquired EJ Footwear on December 6, 2004, for $87.7 million in cash and roughly $10 million in stock. The move brought Georgia Boot, Durango, and Lehigh Safety Shoes brands into Rocky's fold and added a licensed footwear brand in Dickies.

In 2006, Rocky Shoes & Boots changed its name to Rocky Brands, Inc. Following the name change Rocky Brands acquired comfort footwear Zumfoot shoes and Michelin footwear.

In February 2014 the company acquired Los Angeles based Creative Recreation for $11 million. In 2015, Creative Recreation's original owner Rich Cofinco was made creative director.

In 2021, Rocky Brands acquired Honeywell's performance and lifestyle footwear business for $230 million, including The Original Muck Boot Company, the neoprene boot brand Xtratuf, as well as the Servus, NEOS and Ranger footwear brands.

## Philanthropy

In 2009, Rocky Brands formed the not-for-profit philanthropic organization Rocky Community Improvement Fund (RCIF), which maintains an endowment and awards grants.

## Awards

Rocky was awarded *Footwear Plus* magazine's Plus Award in the work footwear category for 2010.

# Dynamite (1929 film)

***Dynamite*** is a 1929 American pre-Code drama film produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Conrad Nagel, Kay Johnson, Charles Bickford, and Julia Faye. Written by Jeanie MacPherson, John Howard Lawson, and Gladys Unger, the film is about a convicted murderer scheduled to be executed, whom a socialite marries simply to satisfy a condition of her grandfather's will. Mitchell Leisen was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction.

## Plot

Coal miner Hagon Derk is sentenced to hang for murder. His only concern is for his young sister Katie, who will be left all alone. Frivolous socialite Cynthia Crothers has her own troubles. By the terms of her grandfather's will, if she is not married by her twenty-third birthday (only a month away), she will not inherit his millions and will be left penniless. She is "engaged" to Roger Towne, but he is married to Marcia. Marcia has her own lover, Marco, and is willing to grant Roger a divorce ... for the right price. The two women haggle behind Roger's back and settle on $100,000.

Hagon, desperate to provide for Katie, offers his body for $10,000 in a newspaper ad. Cynthia offers him the money in exchange for him marrying her. He accepts. Just minutes before Hagon's execution though, the real killer is goaded into attacking a man with a gun and is fatally shot. He confesses before dying, and Hagon is released.

Hagon goes to see his stunned wife. When her friends show up to party the night away, he sees Cynthia writing a $25,000 check as a down payment to Marcia and discussing the terms of their agreement. Hagon grabs the check stashed in Marcia's garter and shows it to Roger as proof that he has been made a pawn. Roger tells Cynthia that he will settle with Marcia himself, but if Cynthia gives her the check, they are through. Cynthia rips up the check as Marcia threatens to expose the plot. The pair go downstairs where Cynthia reveals that she married another man. When Hagon reveals he is her husband, Cynthia is made a laughingstock. Hagon throws out the partygoers, which frightens the men and arouses the women. Cynthia shows little appreciation for his saving her from the mockery and locks herself in her room. Hagon breaks down her door. After a brief confrontation, Hagon flings $10,000 at her and leaves.

When Cynthia is informed that she must actually be living with her husband on her birthday, she drives to his mining town. He refuses to go back to her apartment, so she persuades him to let her stay with him. He agrees on condition that she cook and clean, just like a real wife, and locks up her fancy car in his tool shed. Her first attempt at preparing a meal is a dismal failure. Katie kindly helps out and keeps it a secret from Hagon, but Cynthia confesses. Hagon tells her it is the first honest thing he has seen her do.

The next day, while shopping at the local store, Cynthia buys a gift for a young boy. His mother objects, but the child runs away with his present and is hurt in a traffic accident. The doctor says that only a brain specialist in the city can save him, but the boy only has hours to live. Cynthia breaks into the tool shed, speeds away in her car and returns with the specialist. The child is saved.

Hagon returns from work to find the door of his tool shed demolished and learns that Cynthia withdrew $2,000 from the bank (to pay the specialist). He assumes that she got tired of his way of life and went to see Roger. When Hagon demands an explanation, Cynthia is too disheartened to reply. She telephones Roger to come for her. However, the child's mother tells Hagon what Cynthia has done.

When Roger shows up, he insists on seeing Hagon before leaving. They go down into the mine to find him. A cave-in traps the trio with only fifteen minutes worth of air. Hagon finally confesses he loves Cynthia. Then he realizes there is a way out. He quickly packs a stick of dynamite into a wall; there is another chamber on the other side with enough air to sustain them until they can be rescued. However, without a fuse cap, someone will have to strike the dynamite with a sledgehammer to set it off. After arguing, the two men toss a coin for the privilege. Roger "wins", but Hagon wrestles the sledgehammer away from him. After Cynthia whispers something to Roger, he tells Hagon that Cynthia wants to say goodbye to him. When Hagon goes to Cynthia, he asks her to get on with saying what she needs to say. Confused, she reveals that she said she loves Hagon. With the two safely out of the way, Roger sets off the dynamite and is blown to pieces. As Hagon carries Cynthia into the opened chamber, he tells her that he was wrong about Roger - that he was a brave man after all.

## Cast

## Production

*Dynamite* was DeMille's first full-length sound film (a silent version was also released simultaneously), and casting the right actors (with adequate voices) proved a difficult process. Development began on the heels of the release of his previous film, *The Godless Girl*, which had featured hastily added sound footage (now currently unavailable for viewing) and which had been a box-office disappointment.

Numerous actors were screen-tested by assistant Mitchell Leisen by December 18, 1928, and apart from Ricardo Cortez and Monte Blue, most of them were B-movie actors. Male actors tested but passed over included Buck Jones, Bob Custer, Jason Robards, Sr., Guinn "Big Boy" Williams, Dean Jagger and Randolph Scott. Actresses tested but passed over included Carmelita Geraghty, Merna Kennedy, Leila Hyams, Dorothy Burgess and Sally Blane. His final selections were Charles Bickford and Kay Johnson, primarily known for their stage work. Leisen reportedly tried to interest DeMille in up-and-coming Carole Lombard for Johnson's role; allegedly, she can be glimpsed in the surviving versions of the film.

Filming of *Dynamite* began on January 29, 1929, and lasted until April 30. Scenes for the silent version were shot beginning on May 28 and ending on June 5. Charles Bickford would later describe the script as "'a mess of corn' with terrible dialogue."

Dorothy Parker, who was living in Los Angeles at the time, was commandeered to pen the lyrics for an original song for *Dynamite*. Her third try, titled "How Am I To Know", and set to music by Jack King, was accepted and featured in the film's prison sequence; after that introduction into the film, the music is used in a foxtrot form by a pianist in an impromptu party given at Johnson's home just after Bickford arrives there (and is hustled out of sight of the guests), a subsequent sequence in the mining town where Johnson teaches Bickford to dance (and they almost kiss) to music coming from Bickford's radio, and also under the film's "The End" credit.

## Reception

*The New York Times* reviewer Mordaunt Hall had mixed feelings about DeMille's first talkie, calling it "an astonishing mixture, with artificiality vying with realism and comedy hanging on the heels of grim melodrama." "Even in the work of the performers, there are moments when they are human beings and then, at times, they become nothing more than Mr. De Mille's puppets", "behaving strangely and conversing in movie epigrams". Nonetheless, Hall approved of the efforts of Johnson ("an accomplished actress") and Bickford ("a splendid performance"), though he could not say the same of Nagel ("does not act up to his usual standard").

# Ced Hovey

**Cedric John Hovey** (12 July 1918 – 19 February 2014) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

## Career

Hovey, who came from Modewarre, was runner-up in the Geelong seconds best and fairest award for the 1944 season. Mostly as a centreman, Hovey made 10 appearances with the senior side in the 1945 VFL season, debuting at the age of 26. He didn't play VFL football in 1946 and instead captained the Geelong seconds.

In 1947 he was cleared to Geelong West, in the Ballarat Football League. At Geelong West, Hovey was a best and fairest winner and captain-coached the club in 1948.

## Personal life

Hovey was one of four brothers to play football for Geelong. Most successful of the four was Ron Hovey, who was a member of Geelong's 1951 and 1952 premiership teams. Another, Jim, played 41 league games in the late 1940s. The eldest of the four, Bernard "Bern" Hovey, played for the Geelong seconds, before his death in an RAAF air crash in 1943.

On 19 February 2014, Hovey died at his home in Geelong, aged 95. He was the oldest surviving Geelong player at the time of his death.

# BioPHP

**BioPHP** is a collection of open-source PHP code, with classes for DNA and protein sequence analysis, alignment, database parsing, and other bioinformatics tools. BioRuby is released under the GNU GPL version 2 licence and is one of a number of Bio\* projects, designed to reduce code duplication. As an open source bioinformatics project, BioPHP is affiliated with the Open Bioinformatics Foundation.

## History

The BioPHP project grew out of GenePHP, which was started by Serge Gregorio in 2003. GenePHP was conceived as a PHP-based implementation of similar bioinformatics packages such as BioPerl and BioPython and BioRuby. BioPHP was developed in December 2005 by Joseba Bikandi at the University of the Basque Country, Spain as an extension of GenePHP. GenePHP is one of the four projects currently forming BioPHP.

## Projects

BioPHP is divided into four 'projects'. The **GenePHP** project has a similar structure to other Bio\* projects, with a number of classes representing (amongst other things) DNA and protein sequences and sequence alignments. Each class is designed to be general enough to be useful in a number of BioPHP projects. Similarly, the **Functions** project aims to create a number of functions to perform tasks on class objects and reduce code duplication between projects. The **Minitools** and **Tools** projects aim to generate a set of PHP scripts for small, repetitive tasks; scripts in the Tools project generally have special requirements, such as interfacing with non-PHP scripts and/or code (written in, for instance, Perl or ).

abstract: The District of Columbia Interscholastic Athletic Association (DCIAA) is the public high school athletic league in Washington, D.C. The league was founded in 1958. The original high school conference for D.C. schools was the Inter-High School Athletic Association, formed around 1896. That organization was segregated, and black schools in the District formed their own athletic association. The Inter-High League was renamed the DCIAA in 1989 to bring the District of Columbia in line with other states with interscholastic athletic programs. The DCIAA offers sports on the elementary, middle and high school levels. The DCIAA sponsors varsity championships in archery, basketball, baseball, bowling, cheer, cross country, football, flag football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.

## Football Divisions (HS)

To increase the parity in DCIAA football, two separate divisions based on ability were created, rather than the East-West division structure of previous years. The **Stars Division** is the more competitive division, and those schools will be eligible for the historic Turkey Bowl game.

**Stars Division**

* Ballou
* Coolidge
* Dunbar
* Eastern
* H.D. Woodson
* Jackson-Reed
* Roosevelt

**Stripes Division**

* Anacostia
* Bell (CHEC)
* Cardozo
* McKinley Tech
* Phelps
* Ron Brown

In 2016-2017, Eastern moved up to the **Stars Division** while Coolidge goes to **Stripes Division**. In 2018-2019, Roosevelt moved up to the **Stars Division.** In 2024-2025, Coolidge moved up to the **Stars Division.**

## Football Championships (HS)

The biggest and most-celebrated DCIAA sport, the football champion of the Stars Division is decided in the annual Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving Day. The Stripes Division championship is decided at the Gravy Bowl. Here is the history of the DCIAA football champions.

Intended for use as a multi-purpose platform, including anti-air, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), ground strike, maritime strike, search and rescue, and surveillance and aerial reconnaissance capabilities which can fly a maximum range of 10,000 km at medium altitude with a maximum take-off weight of 6,200 kg. Wing Loong-3 is by far the largest and first air-to-air capable model of the Wing Loong family

## Design and development

The prototype of the Wing Loong-3 was unveiled for the first time to the public during the Airshow China exhibition, held in Zhuhai from 8–11 November 2022.

The design of the Wing Loong 3 is similar to the Wing Loong 2 consisting of a monoplane slender fuselage and empennage with a prominent V-tail and ventral fin. The landing gear consists of two main wheels under the fuselage and one single wheel under the nose. The electro-optical payload pod, fitted under the forward section of the fuselage, is integrated with daylight and infrared cameras and sensors to collect surveillance and targeting data in both day and low-light / night conditions.

54°51′36″N 1°34′26″W / 54.860°N 1.574°W / 54.860; -1.574

**Chester-le-Street** was a local government district in County Durham, England. Its council was based in Chester-le-Street. Other places in the district included Great Lumley and Sacriston.

## Formation

The district was formed on 1 April 1974 as part of a general reorganisation of local administration throughout England and Wales carried out under the Local Government Act 1972. Chester-le-Street was one of eight non-metropolitan districts into which County Durham was divided, and was formed from the areas of the abolished urban district of Chester-le-Street along with the bulk of Chester-le-Street Rural District, namely the parishes of Bournmoor, Birtley (reduced in size), Edmondsley, Great Lumley, Lambton, Little Lumley, North Lodge (created from the part of Harraton outside Washington New Town), Ouston, Pelton, Plawsworth, Sacriston, South Biddick (reduced in size), Urpeth and Waldridge. The remainder of the rural district was transferred to the metropolitan boroughs of Gateshead and Sunderland, in the new county of Tyne and Wear.

## Insignia

The district council did not have a coat of arms, but instead used the design of the chairman's badge of office as its logo. the design consisted of a circle divided by a curved cross into four quarters.

* In the centre of the cross was a lion, taken from the arms of the Lambton family of Lambton Castle.
* In the top left quarter was a cross of Saint Cuthbert. The saint's remains lay in Chester for more than a century, and the town was the see of a bishop. The saint's relics and the bishopric were subsequently transferred to Durham. The River Wear formed the background.
* In the top right quarter was a depiction of the pithead gear of a coal mine, illustrating the area's traditional source of wealth. Behind this was shown the Chester-le-Street Viaduct
* In the bottom left quarter was a falcon, with Lumley Castle in the background.
* In the bottom right quarter was a depiction of the legendary Lambton Worm.

The emblems in the upper left and lower left quarters were subsequently altered to a bishop's mitre and a Roman eagle standard.

## Abolition

The district was abolished as part of the 2009 structural changes to local government in England being replaced by a new unitary authority called Durham County Council.

## Electoral divisions

* *Chester-le-Street North and East* Chester East ward; Chester North ward
* *Chester-le-Street South* Chester South ward; Edmondsley and Waldridge ward
* *Chester-le-Street West Central* Chester Central ward; Chester West ward; Pelton Fell ward

# Dynamite!! USA

***SoftBank presents Dynamite!! USA*** was a mixed martial arts (MMA) event co-promoted by Fighting and Entertainment Group (FEG), the promoters of K-1 kickboxing events and Hero's MMA events, and EliteXC. The event was held on Saturday, June 2, 2007 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. Mauro Ranallo, Bill Goldberg, and Jay Glazer did commentary.

## Background

The event featured the MMA debut of former professional wrestler Brock Lesnar and the anticipated rematch between Royce Gracie and Kazushi Sakuraba. The show also featured the MMA debut of NFL wide receiver Johnnie Morton.

The event was aired in two parts in the United States, with three preliminary bouts airing for free on Showtime and a main fight card shown on pay-per-view. In Japan, the card was aired as a two-hour edited broadcast on TBS on June 4, 2007. A condensed one-hour version of the entire event was broadcast on Showtime June 9, 2007. The Pay Per View cost viewers $29.95

## Controversy

### Pre-fight problems

The event encountered numerous problems and controversies even before it began. FEG had difficulties obtaining a promoter's license, and was only granted a temporary one by the California State Athletic Commission eight days before the event.

Popular South Korean fighter Hong-Man Choi, initially scheduled to fight Brock Lesnar, was denied a license to fight in the state roughly a week and a half before the event for medical reasons (later reported to be a tumor on his pituitary gland). K-1 continued to advertise a Lesnar vs. Choi bout up until the day of the fight, despite knowing that it would not occur.

An originally announced women's bout featuring Jan Finney vs. Gina Carano was canceled on May 16, 2007, when Carano withdrew due to illness.

Antônio Silva was also removed from the card due to an undisclosed medical condition, and was replaced by Tim Persey.

An announced match between Ray Sefo and Marvin Eastman was dropped from the card with no explanation given.

### Attendance and live gate

On June 7, 2007, the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) announced that 42,757 tickets were distributed for the event – something promoters say validated the claim of having the largest attendance for a Mixed Martial Arts event in North America (a record previously held by UFC 68). The paid gate for the event was $2,545,590. However, the promoters of the event paid $2,342,500 of that to buy 39,083 tickets to its own event. The final verified paid attendance number for K-1 Dynamite stands at 3,674 which generated $203,090 in revenue.

### Post-fight

Fighter Tim Percy tested positive for methamphetamines after his fight, and was suspended by the CSAC. In addition, Johnnie Morton tested positive for anabolic steroids and Royce Gracie tested positive for Nandrolone, a commonly used anabolic steroid.

# Red-billed pied tanager

The **red-billed pied tanager** (***Lamprospiza melanoleuca***) is a species of bird in the family Mitrospingidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru and Suriname. Placed in family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers, for over two centuries, the International Ornithological Committee reclassified this species to Mitrospingidae in 2018.

## Taxonomy and systematics

French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot described the red-billed pied tanager as *Saltator melanoleucus* in 1817. In 1823, English ornithologist John Latham called it the divaricated tanager, having seen a specimen in Lord Stanley's collection. French naturalist René Lesson called it *Psaris habia* in his work *Centurie zoologique*. English ornithologist George Robert Gray followed on by placing in the genus *Tityra* as *T. habia* in his *Genera of Birds*. German ornithologist Jean Cabanis defined the genus *Lamprospiza* in 1847, giving it the binomial name of *Lamprospiza habia*. Finally English zoologist Philip Sclater gave it its current name in 1856, synonymising the species descriptions to date.

The red-billed pied tanager and the three other species in family Mitrospingidae were previously placed in family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. A 2013 publication detailed how they did not belong there and proposed the new family for them. The North and South American Classification Committees of the American Ornithological Society accepted the new placement in July 2017 and March 2019, respectively. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) followed suit in January 2018.

The red-billed pied tanager is the only member of its genus and has no subspecies.

## Description

The red-billed pied tanager is 17 to 18 cm (6.7 to 7.1 in) long and weighs 24 to 42 g (0.85 to 1.48 oz). The male's head and upper parts are glossy blue-black, its throat and chest black, and the rest of the underparts white. The female is similar but the nape, back, and rump are gray. Both have the eponymous red bill. The juvenile is quite different; it has a black bill and head. Its upper back is white and the lower back mottled black and white. The underparts are white with some black mixed in.

## Distribution and habitat

The red-billed pied tanager is found in the upper Amazon Basin from eastern and southeastern Peru and northern Bolivia east to central Brazil and north into the Guianas. There it inhabits the canopy and emergent trees of humid *terra firme* forest up to about 900 m (3,000 ft) elevation. It can also be found on the edges of the forest.

## Behavior

### Feeding

The red-billed pied tanager's diet includes berries, seeds, beetles, and *Cecropia* catkins. It typically forages in groups of three to eight individuals that may associate with mixed-species feeding flocks. It hops between branches and occasionally sallies out for flying prey.

### Breeding

Very little has been published about the red-billed pied tanager's breeding phenology. A female was seen on a nest in Brazil's Amazonas state in February. Fledged young were seen in Mato Grosso in June and in Amazonas in September.

### Vocalization

The red-billed pied tanager's song is complex, "a semi-musical but jumbled series". Flocks give a call rendered as "ééé-ééh...ééé-ééé-ééh...ééé-ééh-yuu...".

## Status

The IUCN has assessed the red-billed pied tanager as being of Least Concern. It has a "reasonably large range, and no obvious threats."

**Celine Frere** is a Swiss evolutionary biologist. In 2017, she was named one of Australia's first "Superstars of STEM" by Science & Technology Australia. She is known for co-founding USC's Detection Dogs for Conservation initiative, training sniffer dogs to aid in research and conversation efforts around endangered and protected species.

## Early life and education

Frere was born and raised outside of Geneva, Switzerland. After graduating high school in 1999, she moved to Australia to attend university. In 2002, she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from the University of Queensland, where she studied humpback dolphins for her undergraduate research. She then pursued her graduate education in evolutionary biology at the University of New South Wales, where she joined the Shark Bay Dolphin Project, working to understand how social and genetic factors affect dolphins' ability to survive and reproduce. She began her postdoctoral work in 2009 at the University of Queensland, transitioning from studying dolphins to studying koalas as they were undergoing a dramatic decline in their population. Her research focused on using koala poop to track and trace the animals, which became the basis for her subsequent research.

## Career

Frere became a research fellow at the University of the Sunshine Coast where she began her program of training dogs to follow the scent trail of koala poop to track where koalas were living and patters of habitation. She and her research group tested a detection dog called Maya trained by professional dog trainer Gary Jackson to smell koala scat, demonstrating that this method was more efficient and accurate than other scat surveying methods. The method served as the basis for USC's Detection Dogs for Conservation, which she co-founded with colleague Romane Critescu. The program is dedicated to promoting the use of detection dogs in environmental conservation efforts. The program has since trained three dogs, including a dog called Bear, who found and rescued over 100 koalas affected by the 2020 bushfires.

title: Bistel

abstract: Bistel, acronym for Belgian Information System by Telephone, was a Belgian service using the Videotex protocol, established in 1986 at the initiative of the then Prime Minister Wilfried Martens. It was a federal government service that gave access through videotex to Belga telex news releases, to a press review, judicial databases JUSTEL and CREDOC, economical databases ECOTEL and BUDGETEX. In 1988, Bart Halewijck, a former PM cabinet adviser and municipal councillor for the same CVP party in Gistel, used the passwords he had kept to view sensitive government informations and showed it to a friend, then to a journalist from De Standaard to prove the security failures. This led to a judiciary "Bistel Case". In spite of recommendations, all passwords had not been changed every six months and many were still the same after two years. Halewijck and his friend, as there was then no specific penal provisions for such crimes, were charged for forgery and use of forgery, theft of energy with burglary, forgery by an official of a telegraphic despatch and destruction of State property. The two first ever "Belgian hackers" got only light penalties but the case showed the urgent need for a specific legislation.

# Chevaleret station

**Chevaleret** (French pronunciation: \[ʃəvalʁɛ\]) is an elevated station of the Paris Métro serving line 6 at the intersection of the *Rue du Chevaleret* and the *Boulevard Vincent Auriol* in the 13th arrondissement.

## History

The station opened on 1 March 1909 with the opening of the original section of line 6 from Place d'Italie to Nation (although part of line 5—some dating back to 2 October 1900—was incorporated into line 6 on 12 October 1942). It is named after the *Rue de Chevaleret*, a street that already existed in 1670, and was named after the locality, which in turn was probably named after its owner.

As part of the RATP *Renouveau du métro* program, the station was completely renovated in 2003.

## Passenger services

### Access

The station has two accesses leading to either side of the central median of Boulevard Vincent-Auriol:

* Access 1 - "Rue Bruant - La Pitié-Salpêtrière" located on the north side opposite the Institut de Cardiologie de l'Hôpital de la Salpêtrière, at no. 50 boulevard;
* Access 2 - "Rue du Chevaleret" located on the south side to the right of no. 79 of the boulevard.

Each opens onto a communal area under the viaduct from where access to the platforms is by means of stairs or escalators.

### Platforms

Chevaleret is an elevated station of standard configuration. It has two platforms separated by the metro tracks, all covered with a glass roof in the style of the canopies of the stations of the time. The vertical walls are covered with bevelled white ceramic tiles on the inside, and bricks drawing geometric patterns on the outside. The advertising frames are made of white ceramic and the name of the station is inscribed in Parisine font on enamelled plaques. The *Motte* style seats are red in colour. The lighting is semi-direct, projected on the ground by blue ceiling lights, on the wall by partially concealed tubes and on the frame by blue light projectors. Access is via the western end.

### Bus connections

The station is served by line 61 of the RATP Bus Network.

## Nearby

Nearby are the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital and the Ministry of Finance.
