# 2014 Fatah–Hamas Agreements

The **2014 Fatah–Hamas Agreements** were two successive reconciliation agreements between Fatah and Hamas, concluded in 2014. The **Gaza Agreement** was signed in Gaza City on 23 April 2014 by Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister of the Hamas administration in Gaza, and a senior Palestine Liberation Organisation delegation dispatched by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Its main purpose was reconciliation between the parties and the formation of a Palestinian Unity Government within five weeks, to be followed by general elections within six months. The Unity Government was formed on 2 June 2014.

On 25 September 2014, almost 4 months after the formation of the Palestinian Unity Government, the parties concluded a second agreement, the **Cairo Agreement**, in Cairo, between Haniyeh and President Abbas, specifying the tasks and responsibilities of the Unity Government. The Government was to assume responsibilities in the Gaza Strip, work on re-activation of the Palestinian Legislative Council, and implement the 2006 National Conciliation Document and the National Reconciliation Document of 5 April 2011.

## Gaza Agreement, April 2014

The Gaza Agreement was signed in Gaza City on 23 April 2014 by Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister of the Hamas administration in Gaza, and a senior PLO delegation dispatched by Palestinian President Abbas. Its main purposes were reconciliation between the parties and the formation of a national unity government within five weeks, to be followed by general elections in December.

### Reactions

Mustafa Barghouti, General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative, who was involved in the negotiation, described the deal as an "end to the division between the Palestinian people."

Israel reacted angrily to the Fatah–Hamas Gaza Agreement of 23 April 2014. Israel halted peace talks with the Palestinians, saying it "will not negotiate with a Palestinian government backed by Hamas, a terrorist organization that calls for Israel's destruction", and threatened sanctions against the Palestinian Authority, including a previously announced Israeli plan to unilaterally deduct Palestinian debts to Israeli companies from the tax revenue Israel collects for the PA. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Abbas of sabotaging peace efforts. He said that Abbas cannot have peace with both Hamas and Israel and has to choose. Abbas said the deal did not contradict their commitment to peace with Israel on the basis of a two-state solution and assured reporters that any unity government would recognize Israel, be non-violent, and bound to previous PLO agreements. Shortly after, Israel began implementing economic sanctions against Palestinians and canceled plans to build housing for Palestinians in Area C of the West Bank. Abbas also threatened to dissolve the PA, leaving Israel fully responsible for both the West Bank and Gaza, a threat that the PA has not put into effect.

The United States said it was troubled by the announcement, which "could seriously complicate" negotiations to extend peace negotiations and could implications, inter alia regarding aid.

The European Union welcomed the agreement, but said the priority remains peace talks with Israel.

### Formation of Palestinian Unity Government

A Palestinian Unity Government was formed on 2 June 2014.

## West Bank plot

During the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict, that broke out on 8 July, the Shin Bet revealed an alleged plot by Hamas to depose Fatah rule in the West Bank. This was to be achieved by deploying Hamas cells around the West Bank to incite a third intifada and overwhelm Palestinian Authority forces. More than 90 people were arrested. President Abbas said the plot was "a grave threat to the unity of the Palestinian people and its future."

## Cairo Agreement, September 2014

On 25 September 2014, almost 4 months after the formation of the Unity Government, Haniyeh and Abbas concluded the Cairo Agreement. The Unity Government was to assume responsibilities in the Gaza Strip and the PA was to take control of the border crossings. Furthermore, it would work on lifting the siege and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, convene a donor conference, re-activation of the Palestinian Legislative Council, and implement the 2006 National Conciliation Document and the National Reconciliation Document of 5 April 2011.

The Unity Government convened on 9 October 2014 in Gaza, to discuss the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip following the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict. Hamas was discontented with the government over the failure of the reconstruction process in Gaza, the ongoing closure of the crossings and the failure to settle the issue of the payment of employee salaries, and threatened a vote of no confidence in the PNC in November 2014.

## Dissolution of government

President Abbas dissolved the Unity Government on 17 June 2015 saying the government was unable to operate in the Gaza Strip. The general elections stipulated to take place by December 2014 did not eventuate.

# 1671 in paleontology

Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces (coprolites), palynomorphs and chemical residues. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long history both before and after becoming formalized as a science. This article records significant discoveries and events related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 1671.

# USS Ouachita County

**USS *Ouachita County* (LST-1071)** was an *LST-542*-class tank landing ship built for the United States Navy during World War II. Named for Ouachita County, Arkansas, she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name.

Originally laid down as *LST-1071* on 13 February 1945 by the Bethlehem Hingham Shipyard, Inc. of Hingham, Massachusetts; launched on 14 March 1945; and commissioned on 9 April 1945.

## Service history

### World War II, 1945

Following shakedown in Chesapeake Bay, *LST–1071* steamed north to New York where she took on pontoon gear, LCT sections and LCT personnel. On 27 May 1945 she departed the East Coast for the Panama Canal and Pearl Harbor where she exchanged her LCT cargo and passengers for one complete LCT and Army troops bound for Guam. There, at that Marianas island when World War II ended, she took on 139th Construction Battalion personnel and sailed for Saipan and Okinawa.

### Post-war activities, 1945–1946

On 14 September she steamed into Tokyo Bay, from the Ryūkyūs, with Fifth Air Force units en route to occupation duty on Honshū. She completed another Okinawa/Japan run for the Air Force, then steamed to Leyte, whence she carried IX Corps units to Aomori, Japan. Army cargo shuttles in Japanese waters were followed in December by orders to Saipan. From there, on the 27th, she headed back to the United States.

*LST–1071* arrived at San Diego on 5 February 1946. On the 10th she moved north to San Francisco, and on the 25th to Portland, Oregon for inactivation. There the LST decommissioned on 10 June 1946 and joined the Pacific Reserve Fleet.

### Atlantic Fleet, 1951–1955

*LST–1071* recommissioned on 3 January 1951. Following shakedown and cargo runs along the California coast, she sailed for the East Coast, arriving at Norfolk, Virginia on 15 June. The LST then commenced operations out of Little Creek, Virginia as a unit of LST Flotilla 2, Atlantic Fleet. For the next four years, she conducted amphibious exercises along the mid-Atlantic coast and at Puerto Rico, and carried Army personnel and supplies to Labrador and Newfoundland. Named **USS *Ouachita County* (LST-1071)** on 1 July 1955, she returned from her last voyage in Canadian waters in September and, in November, steamed to Brooklyn for inactivation overhaul.

### Damage Sustained

In early August 1952, *LST-1071* sustained ice-related damage while navigating waters off the Northern coast of Labrador. The Officer of the Deck, who was disdained by the crew, did not correct his "wrong" order to turn to Port, rather than Starboard. As a result, the ship went directly into the iceberg. Two other LSTs on the mission pulled the 1071 off the ice. This account was made by a crew member (Richard G. Niehoff) who was on the Counting Tower at the time this event. The ship sailed to the Boston Navy Yard where she was placed in drydock for repairs. The ship was successfully repaired and on 22 September, she resumed her training and supply route that continued to take her around the North American continent.

### Decommissioning

With the new year, 1956, she steamed south to Green Cove Springs, Florida, arriving on 31 January and decommissioning on 15 February. She remained there, berthed as a unit of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet until struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 November 1959. Her final fate is unknown. One observer believes he went aboard her while she was tied up at Tacoma, Washington, (late fall, 1961) where within the following several years she was either scrapped or converted into a barge by Foss Tug & Barge.

title: Procedural animation

abstract: A procedural animation is a type of computer animation used to automatically generate animation in real-time to allow for a more diverse series of actions than would otherwise be tedious using predefined animations. Procedural animation is used to simulate particle systems, cloth and clothing, rigid body dynamics, and hair and fur dynamics, as well as character animation. In video games, it is often used for simple or complex actions such as turning a character's head whenever a player looks around or ragdoll physics, which is usually used for the death of a character in which the ragdoll will realistically fall to the floor. A ragdoll usually consists of a series of connected rigid bodies that are programmed to have Newtonian physics acting upon them; therefore, very realistic effects can be generated that would very hardly be possible with traditional animation. For example, a character can die slumped over a cliff and the weight of its upper-body can drag the rest of it over the edge. Even more complex examples of procedural animation can be found in the game Spore wherein user-created creatures will automatically be animated to all actions needed in the game from walking, to driving, to picking things up. In the game Unreal Tournament 3, bodies who have gone into ragdoll mode to fake death can arise from any position into which they have fallen and get back on their feet. The canceled Indiana Jones game from LucasArts shown at E3 2006 featured character motions that were animated entirely in real-time, with characters dodging, punching, and reacting to the environment based on an engine called Euphoria by NaturalMotion which has since been used in games such as Grand Theft Auto IV and Backbreaker.

# Procedural animation

A **procedural animation** is a type of computer animation used to automatically generate animation in real-time to allow for a more diverse series of actions than would otherwise be tedious using predefined animations.

Procedural animation is used to simulate particle systems (smoke, fire, water), cloth and clothing, rigid body dynamics, and hair and fur dynamics, as well as character animation.

In video games, it is often used for simple or complex actions such as turning a character's head whenever a player looks around (as in *Quake III Arena*) or ragdoll physics, which is usually used for the death of a character in which the ragdoll will realistically fall to the floor.

title: Temple Stakes

abstract: The Temple Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at Haydock Park over a distance of 5 furlongs, and it is scheduled to take place each year in May. The event was established in 1965, and it was originally held at Sandown Park. It was transferred to its present venue in 2008. The leading horses from the Temple Stakes often go on to compete in the King Charles III Stakes. The last to win both races in the same year was Profitable in 2016.

The **Temple Stakes** is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at Haydock Park over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in May.

The event was established in 1965, and it was originally held at Sandown Park. It was transferred to its present venue in 2008.

The leading horses from the Temple Stakes often go on to compete in the King Charles III Stakes. The last to win both races in the same year was Profitable in 2016.

text:
# Unity F.C. (England)

**Unity F.C.** was an English association football club from Blackheath, founded in 1875.

## History

The club was the works side of the William Tarn & Co department store in Elephant & Castle, and the club's three secretaries all give the store's address (165 Newington Causeway) as the club's correspondence address. In common with other department store sides in the area, the club was a member of the West End Football Association, and won the Challenge Cup in 1885 and 1889, and was also runner-up in 1884 and 1890.

The club's first recorded match was in November 1876 against Prairie Rangers. Unity was originally of little account; in 1877 it claimed to have won only one match the previous season and only scored two goals. However, in the 1877–78 season it won 8 and drew 8 of its 20 matches, scoring 14 and conceding 11.

Possibly as a result of this improvement the club entered the FA Cup in 1878–79. However, having been drawn to play the Remnants club, Unity withdrew.

It was the club's only FA Cup entry, even though the club remained members of the Football Association until 1883, and active until as late as 1895; the club was still of status enough in 1888 to play Luton Town on Boxing Day. A Unity F.C. was merged into the All Saints club of Middlesex at the start of 1896 and there is no further record of the Tarn club afterwards.

## Colours

The club played in navy blue and cerise.

## Ground

The club played at the Green Man Hotel in Blackheath.

title: Seanna Chnoc

abstract: Seanna Chnoc, correctly known as Seana Bheinn is an islet in outer Loch Ròg, Lewis, Scotland. It lies north west of Great Bernera and Bearasaigh. Stac nam Balg lies offshore to the north and there is a cave in the north west of the island. There is no regular access to the island although boat excursions are available locally. The correct name for the island is Seanna Bheinn and this is the name that has always been in local use by the local population although it is highly likely an earlier Norse name was used. The name Seanna Chnoc was introduced by the Ordnance Survey through the advice of linguistic academics but is unfortunately incorrect. The island appears to have been called Garvilan in the early 19th century which is an English corruption of Garbh Eilean meaning an inhospitable island and in 1549, Dean Monro wrote: "Besides the coist of Leozus towards the said north-west lyis ane Ile callit Garvellan, gude for store and fishing, perteining to Mccloyd of Leozus".

# Raiffeisen Zentralbank

**Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich A.G.** (**RZB**) was a significant bank in Austria and the central institution of the Raiffeisen Banking Group (RBG) until its merger into its subsidiary Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) in 2017.

It had subsidiaries held via RBI in, amongst others: Ukraine, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Switzerland. The largest of these subsidiaries by far was Raiffeisenbank (Russia) which accounted for 74 percent of the company's pretax profit.

## History

The incorporation meeting of the shareholders of the Austrian Raiffeisen cooperative was held on 16 August 1927. With this, a central institution was established for the Raiffeisen Banking Group, and since then this institution has functioned as the national and international representative and coordinator for the Group. The founding took place roughly four decades after the establishment of the first Austrian savings and loan cooperative to use the system devised by Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen.

The original company name was *Girozentrale der österreichischen Genossenschaften*. In 1939, after the German annexation of Austria, the new German owners changed the name to *Genossenschaftliche Zentralbank der Ostmark Aktiengesellschaft*, and then in 1942 to *Genossenschaftliche Zentralbank Wien Aktiengesellschaft*. From 1953 on, the new name was *Genossenschaftliche Zentralbank Aktiengesellschaft*, with the abbreviation GZB also being used for the company. Since 1989, the bank has been named *Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich Aktiengesellschaft*, abbreviated as RZB.

Founded primarily as a liquidity equalisation office for the Raiffeisen Banking Group, the company in its first ten years of operation significantly expanded its business activities through the 1930s to include fields such as foreign exchange and currency transactions, lending, acceptance of deposits and investment in securities. Along with this, the bank's staff also increased significantly, rising to 85 employees at the end of its first decade of existence.

In 1938, one day after the German occupation of Austria, the bank was taken over by a provisional German administrator and subsequently nationalised. The bank was not returned to its pre-war owners until 1955.

In the 1950s, GZB began to expand and transform its foreign operations. This was also clearly reflected in the bank's growth, with the number of staff rising to almost 200 by 1957. By the end of the 1950s, the bank began to found specialised companies or to invest in them. Working with the co-operatives also allowed the institution to offer each and every Raiffeisen bank and its customers a universal range of financial services. The product portfolio of the Raiffeisen Banking Group was further expanded with the founding of Raiffeisen Building Society, Raiffeisen Insurance, Raiffeisen Leasing and other specialised companies.

Along with its position as one of the largest commercial and investment banks in Austria, RZB started developing another main area of business already in the 1980s, founding the present-day Raiffeisen Bank in Budapest in 1986. This early strategic decision to expand into Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) proved to be one of the most important decisions in RZB's history. Starting from 1989, with the collapse of the communist regimes, RZB focused intensely on CEE, initially founding numerous banks to build up a viable network, which was complemented with acquisitions starting from 2000.

Along with Austria, RZB considers CEE to be its home market. The subsidiary bank Raiffeisen Bank International was formed, merging Raiffeisen International Bankholding AG and the corporate banking business and related subsidiaries from RZB. RZB currently holds a stake of approximately 78.5% (with the rest of the shares in free float) and operates one of the largest banking networks in CEE.

In 2005, RZB bought Ukrainian Bank Aval, and renamed its subsidiary Raiffeisen Bank Aval.

In 2007, Raiffeisen made €1.48 billion, 79% of it from operations abroad.

After the international financial problems of 2008, Raiffeisenbank Chairman Herbert Stepic served as spokesman for a group of 10 central and eastern European banks, which asked the European Central Bank (ECB) to extend their bailout.

In June 2013, Raiffeisen supported the nationalised Volksbank Group by purchasing a package of poor loans worth $300mn from them.

In February 2014, Raiffeisen Bank International was reported as reevaluating their participation in the Eastern European and Russian markets, where 57% of Raiffeisen's total assets were, according to bank data. Roughly half of the loans made by Raiffeisen and its subsidiaries in Ukraine were in U.S. dollars, while many loans in Hungary were in Swiss francs. As local currencies tumbled, those loans became more expensive for borrowers to pay off. The bank asked the Austrian taxpayer to buy preferred shares of Raiffeisen valued at €1.75 billion in a capital-raising measure. The coupons would pay 9.3% annual interest and must be repaid within five years, said an Austrian Finance Ministry spokesman.

In 2015 the Raiffeisen Bank made a profit again (379 million euros / $420 million). The bank postponed the sale announced in 2014 of its Polish subsidiary, Raiffeisen Bank Polska SA. Another factor that affected the bank's decision to wait with the sale were the elaborate demands by Polish regulators for bank sales. In response to Poland's new bank levy, Raiffeisen Bank announced that "in principle, we still want to sell the bank, but not under all circumstances and at any price, and we can’t rule out that we won’t sell it in the coming months and years."

In 2016 the parent company Raiffeisen-Landesbanken-Holding GmbH was merged with Raiffeisen Zentralbank; the latter was the surviving entity. On 18 March 2017 Raiffeisen Zentralbank merged with subsidiary Raiffeisen Bank International; the latter was the surviving entity.

## Shareholders

Before 2016, RZB was 90.43% owned by Raiffeisen‐Landesbanken‐Holding GmbH, which in turn is owned by the nine Austrian Raiffeisen regional banks (eight regional centres and Zveza Bank). Other RZB owners included:

In 2016 Raiffeisen‐Landesbanken‐Holding GmbH merged with Raiffeisen Zentralbank.

## Subsidiaries

The subsidiaries of RZB, other than RBI, included:

Raiffeisen Zentralbank, the Raiffeisen regional banks and Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien have numerous investments in companies in various fields of business: The most well known of these are:

* Uniqa Insurance Group
* Agrana,
* Strabag,
* Mediaprint (Kurier),
* Salinen Österreich,
* Landeshypothekenbanken for Oberösterreich, Salzburg and Steiermark,
* Do & Co,
* Demel
* Österreichische Lotterien

Additional companies in which RZB holds a stake include:

* Kathrein & Co. Privatgeschäftsbank AG
* Notartreuhandbank AG
* ZHS Office- & Facilitymanagement GmbH

## Controversy

### Holocaust

**Theft of Jewish Property**

Raiffeisen Zentralbank had charges brought against them by (plaintiffs) present and former nationals of Austria, and their heirs and successors, who sought compensation for the theft of their property during the Nazi Era and the Second World War.

Jewish organizations requested that Austria gets more engaged in the property side of the Holocaust equation.

**Movement Against Jewish Business owners**

At the time, founder Raiffeisen claimed that the Jews practice usury, cheat, and are dishonest and that they control the livestock market and the money market.

Once Jews were pushed out of the livestock trade this enabled the "Raiffeisen movement" of rural cooperatives to flourish.

### Mafia

A number of investigators have suggested that Raiffeisen Zentralbank is involved in laundering money for the Russian mafia.

When Moldovan journalist Natalia Morar investigated money flows involving Raiffeisen Zentralbank, she said she received a death threat from the FSB and she was banned from Russia.

A Gazprom spokesman has said that Raiffeisen Investment AG is a Gazprom partner in RosUkrEnergo, an opaque Ukrainian company. On 6 August 2004, Interfax reported "100 percent subsidiaries of Russia's Gazprombank and Austria's Raiffeisen Bank created the RosUkrEnergoprom company for the supply of Turkmen gas to the Ukrainian market. The company, shared by the parties 50-50, will be registered in Switzerland. However, Raiffeisen Investment has said that it only manages RosUkrEnergo for unknown "Ukrainian businessmen".

According to documents uncovered during the United States diplomatic cables leak, US diplomats suspected Raiffeisen Investment was "a front to provide legitimacy to the gas company that we suspect the U.S.-indicted Russian crime boss Semyon Mogilevich controls".

One of the cases involved the Russian bank called "Diskont". To illustrate the scale of money laundering, $1.6 billion was transferred from Diskont Bank's accounts to Raiffeisen on August 29, 2006. According to the *New York Times*, Diskont received a 10% commission from the money transfers. In September 2006, the deputy chairman of the Central bank of Russia, Andrey Kozlov, revoked Diskont's license. Just days later Kozlov was murdered.

The bank has been also suspected of laundering money for the Italian mafia.

### Troika laundromat

Troika laundromat or ŪkioLeaks is a money laundering scheme organized by Russia's former largest investment bank – Troika Dialog. This scheme allowed allowed the flow of some $4.8 billion of funds from Russian companies and figures into Europe and the US between 2003 and early 2013. It was noted that Raiffeisen have neglected AML obligations during handling the Troika's money.

# Da Yoopers

**Da Yoopers** are an American comedy and novelty musical group from Ishpeming, Michigan, United States. They are known primarily for their comedic songs and skits, most of which center on life in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The band's name includes the term "yooper", slang for residents of that part of the state, and the use of "da" instead of "the" is typical of the Yooper dialect. The band's members are Jim Bellmore (guitar, bass guitar, vocals, songwriting, production) and his wife, Lynn Bellmore (née Anderson) (keyboards, vocals), along with Jim "Hoolie" DeCaire (drums, vocals, songwriting, production). The original band lineup in 1985 consisted of Anderson and DeCaire, along with Joe Potila (guitar, vocals, songwriting, production) and Jim Pennell (bass guitar, vocals), with a number of membership changes ensuing throughout the band's history. Da Yoopers have released twelve studio albums and two compilation albums, all through their own You Guys Records label.

## History

Jim "Hoolie" DeCaire and Joe Potila, two songwriters from Ishpeming, Michigan, began writing music together in 1975. After unsuccessful attempts at getting songs cut by other artists, they began recording as Da Yoopers in 1985. The band's original lineup consisted of DeCaire on drums and Potila on guitar, with both also handling songwriting and production duties; completing the initial lineup were keyboardist Lynn Anderson and bassist Jim Pennell. All four founding members also alternated as vocalists. They were originally known as the Joe Arkansas Band. The band took their name from the word "yooper", a term for people of the "U.P.", an abbreviation for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and "Da" came from the Yooper dialect pronunciation of "the". The band toured throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula for several years, before recording their first album, *Yoopanese*, in 1986 on their personal label, You Guys Records.

A second album, *Culture Shock*, was released a year later. This second album featured several comedy songs, including "Second Week of Deer Camp" and "Rusty Chevrolet" (the latter a parody of "Jingle Bells"), both of which became local hits, including considerable regional airplay throughout the Midwestern United States and on Dr. Demento's radio shows.

By the release of *Camp Fever*, the band's third album, Joe DeLongchamp had replaced Pennell as bass guitarist. In addition, Lynn Anderson married Jerry Coffey, who joined as percussionist and occasional drummer. It also included the first song of the band's career not to be written by Potila or DeCaire, as DeLongchamp wrote the title track. *Yoop It Up*, their fourth cassette, was released in 1989.

### Early 1990s–present

*Yoopy Do Wah*, released in 1991, was the band's first album on compact disc. For this album, Dave "Doc" Bradbury replaced DeLongchamp on bass guitar. Also that year, a compilation titled *For Diehards Only* was released, featuring a selection of songs from the group's first four albums. Da Yoopers' 1993 album *One Can Short of a Six-Pack* featured both regular and Christmas songs, including a parody of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" titled "Grandpa Got Run Over By a Beer Truck". Potila retired in 1995 and was replaced by Jim Bellmore, who also assumed Potila's former role as co-writer and co-producer with DeCaire. Also at this point "Cowboy" Dan Collins joined as rhythm guitarist and occasional vocalist. Bellmore's first studio appearance was on *We're Still Rockin'* that same year. Potila died in 2001.

Two albums were released in 2000: *Jackpine Savage* and *Naked Elves in Cowboy Boots*, the latter an album of Christmas music. By this point, Bobby "Sy" Symons had become the band's touring drummer, although DeCaire continued to play drums in studio. Both Dan Collins and Jerry Coffey left shortly after *Naked Elves in Cowboy Boots*. *Songs for Fart Lovers* and *Diehards II* (a second compilation composed of songs from the first four albums) both came out in 2004, with the two-disc *21st Century Yoopers in Space* following in 2006. This album also featured several guest contributions in both performing and songwriting. Lynn, who divorced Jerry in 2005, was again credited as Lynn Anderson on *21st Century Yoopers in Space*, and married Bellmore shortly after that album's release. The last touring lineup consisted of the Bellmores, Lusardi, Symons, and DeCaire.

Lusardi died May 8, 2016. The band's 2018 album *Old Age Ain't for Sissies!* features the Bellmores and DeCaire as the remaining three members. Symons died August 20, 2020.

## Tourist Trap

Da Yoopers also own and operate a gift shop near Ishpeming called "Da Yoopers Tourist Trap", featuring various Upper Peninsula-themed merchandise.

Da Yooper's tourist trap not only contains merchandise, but 2 museums as well. The first museum is a mineral museum that contains various minerals found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It also has exhibits related to the local mining culture. This museum is found inside of Da Yooper's Tourist Trap. The other museum is an outdoor museum that is more oriented towards humor. It contains such things as a large chainsaw, called Big Gus, a large rifle, called Big Ernie, and Da Two-Holer (a very special outhouse). This comical museum has various other displays in which tourists are encouraged to see in order to understand the humor of the Yooper culture.

title: Scenes (album)

abstract: Scenes is the second studio album by guitarist Marty Friedman, released on November 17, 1992 through Shrapnel Records and Roadrunner Records (Europe). It is a notable stylistic departure from Friedman's first album, Dragon's Kiss (1988), as well as his heavier work with Cacophony and Megadeth, in that it predominantly features mellow, clean-tone playing instead of his usual distortion. The final track, "Triumph", is a remake of "Thunder March" from Dragon's Kiss. The album also features then-Megadeth bandmate Nick Menza on drums.

Robert Taylor at AllMusic gave *Scenes* three stars out of five, saying that "This recording marked the true arrival of one of the most important and original guitarists to emerge from the neo-classical genre", and that it "revealed a level of depth and maturity that equally surprised Megadeth and guitar-shred fans everywhere." In addition to Friedman's work, the production by Kitarō and keyboards by Brian BecVar were also heavily praised.

title: Próspero Morales

abstract: Próspero Morales was a Guatemalan lawyer who served as Secretary of Infrastructure, War and Public Instruction during José María Reina Barrios administration. Two year after being in office, Morales married the well known Guatemalan teacher Natalia Górriz. Morales resigned as Secretary on 5 March 1897 in order to run for president for the upcoming presidential elections; however, due to the failure of the Exposición Centroamericana and the severe economic crisis that Guatemala was undergoing at the time, due to the plummeting of coffee and silver international prices, general Reina Barrios suspended the elections and forcibly extended his tenure until 1902. Morales then joined the revolution that was brewing in Quetzaltenango, but the rebels were defeated on 14 September 1897. After Reina Barrios assassination on 8 February 1898, he unsuccessfully tried to overthrow interim president Manuel Estrada Cabrera–who also had served as Secretary under Reina Barrios–but was repelled by the forces of former president Manuel Lisandro Barillas.

# Próspero Morales

**Próspero Morales** (31 December 1856 - 17 August 1898) was a Guatemalan lawyer who served as Secretary of Infrastructure, War and Public Instruction during José María Reina Barrios administration. Two year after being in office, Morales married the well known Guatemalan teacher Natalia Górriz. Morales resigned as Secretary on 5 March 1897 in order to run for president for the upcoming presidential elections; however, due to the failure of the Exposición Centroamericana and the severe economic crisis that Guatemala was undergoing at the time, due to the plummeting of coffee and silver international prices, general Reina Barrios suspended the elections and forcibly extended his tenure until 1902. Morales then joined the revolution that was brewing in Quetzaltenango, but the rebels were defeated on 14 September 1897. After Reina Barrios assassination on 8 February 1898, he unsuccessfully tried to overthrow interim president Manuel Estrada Cabrera–who also had served as Secretary under Reina Barrios–but was repelled by the forces of former president Manuel Lisandro Barillas.

## Biography

In 1894, married Natalia Górriz, who put her successful teaching and administrative career on hold to focus on her family. In January 1897, some rebellions started against Reina Barrios; after a mild battle, a group of invaders were defeated and their leaders were taken prisoners, judged and summarily executed on the same day. The opposition press was also critical of the president, accusing him of tyranny given that he had not allowed opposition political parties to prosper.

On 5 March 1897, Morales resigned as Secretary of Public Instruction in order to run for president in the upcoming elections. Opposition newspaper *La República* editors accused the government–and particularly Próspero Morales, former Secretary of Infrastructure, and president Reina Barrios–of wasting the few resources the country had trying to do all their projects at once: besides the Northern Railroad–which in case of had been the only project built would have brought considerable benefits to the country–boulevards, parks, squares, public buildings, and luxurious office buildings had been built as well, not to mention the three millions pesos wasted on the failed Exposición Centroamericana.

On 31 May 1897, the president dissolved the National Assembly and by August the situation was critical. Próspero Morales moved with his family to San Marcos and joined the revolutions that rose against Reina Barrios in Quetzaltenango.

## Death

After the September Quetzaltenango Revolution of 1897 failed, Morales and Górriz fled Guatemala and moved into Tapachula, México where he learned that former Secretary of the Interior Manuel Estrada Cabrera had been appointed as interim president after Reina Barrios was murdered on 8 February 1898, Próspero Morales made the decision to be a presidential candidate in the 1898 elections. However, when he realized that Estrada Cabrera was using his position to ridge the elections, Morales went to México City to recruit people for an invasion to Guatemala. Back in Tapachula we received support from colonels Rodrigo Castilla and Víctor López, who lived on the Guatemalan side of the border, in San Marcos–where Morales was born. On 22 July 1898, approximately 1500 rebels entered Guatemala from Mexico equipped with Mauser rifles to end Estrada Cabrera regime, but their adventure was swiftly neutralized, as Estrada Cabrera sent twelve thousand troops to stop them, declared Martial Law and secured the help of a British navy ship to attack the Port of Ocós if needed. The commander in chief of the Guatemalan Army was former president Manuel Lisandro Barillas Bercián, who defeated the rebels in Vado Ancho on 5 August of that year. After the invasion failure, Morales followers split; some of them went back to Mexico while a few stayed with him, until he surrendered on 14 August. He eventually died on 17 August.

# Ranko Despotović

**Ranko Despotović** (Serbian Cyrillic: Ранко Деспотовић, pronounced \[râːŋko despǒːtoʋitɕ\]; born 21 January 1983) is a Serbian retired footballer who played as a forward, and the manager of UD Caravaca.

## Club career

Born in Loznica, Serbia, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Despotović made his professional debuts with local FK Loznica aged only 17, and proceeded to score almost 30 goals overall in his first three years, subsequently being acquired by FK Vojvodina.

After parts of seasons loaned to lowly FK Mačva Šabac, he returned, having a stellar 2006–07 season and helping the team to the third place in the league and coming up second in the domestic cup; to help achieve this, he topped the nation's goal charts by netting 17 times.

In January 2008, Despotović signed with FC Rapid București in Romania, and continued abroad for the ensuing summer as he joined Spain's Real Murcia for three years and 1.5 million. He was brought to the club by head coach Javier Clemente, who became aware of the player while coaching the Serbia national team.

For the 2009–10 campaign, Despotović stayed in the country and its second division, moving on a season-long loan to UD Salamanca. The following year, still in that level, he led Girona FC with 18 goals (seventh-best in the competition) as the Catalans finished comfortably in mid-table.

On 1 July 2011, Despotović signed for Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds. In late 2013, following an unsuccessful trial at former club Girona, he moved to Sydney FC, after being convinced to join by former Vojvodina teammate Nikola Petković. He made his debut for his new team against Wellington Phoenix FC, coming on as a substitute and scoring the 2–1 winner in injury time.

Despotović returned to Spain on 7 July 2014, joining second-level side Deportivo Alavés. He subsequently competed in the country's lower leagues, with Cádiz CF and Marbella FC.

## International career

Despotović made his debut for Serbia in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifier against Kazakhstan, a 1–0 home success on 24 November 2007. His fourth and final international was a June 2011 friendly match away against Australia.

title: DGCR2

abstract: The DGCR2 gene encodes the protein integral membrane protein DGCR2/IDD in humans. Deletions of the 22q11.2 have been associated with a wide range of developmental defects classified under the acronym CATCH 22. The DGCR2 gene encodes a novel putative adhesion receptor protein, which could play a role in neural crest cells migration, a process which has been proposed to be altered in DiGeorge syndrome. DGCR2 is thought to interact with the Reelin complex to regulate corticogenesis.

# DGCR2

The ***DGCR2*** gene encodes the protein **integral membrane protein DGCR2/IDD** in humans.

Deletions of the 22q11.2 have been associated with a wide range of developmental defects (notably DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome and isolated conotruncal cardiac defects) classified under the acronym CATCH 22. The *DGCR2* gene encodes a novel putative adhesion receptor protein, which could play a role in neural crest cells migration, a process which has been proposed to be altered in DiGeorge syndrome. DGCR2 is thought to interact with the Reelin complex to regulate corticogenesis.
