# South-West Irish English

**South-West Irish English** (also known as **South-West Hiberno-English**) is a class of broad varieties of English spoken in Ireland's South-West Region (the province of Munster). Within Ireland, the varieties are best associated with either the urban working class of the South-West or traditional rural Ireland in general, and they are popularly identified by their specific city or county, such as **Cork English**, **Kerry English**, or **Limerick English**.

## Phonology

Among speakers in the South-West alone (famously Cork, Kerry, or Limerick), the vowel of DRESS raises to \[ɪ\] when before /n/ or /m/ (a pin–pen merger) and sentences may show a unique intonation pattern. This intonation is a slightly higher pitch followed by a significant drop in pitch on stressed long-vowel syllables (across multiple syllables or even within a single one), which is popularly heard in rapid conversation, by other English-speakers, as an undulating "sing-song" quality.

Among older speakers, /s/ and /z/ may respectively be pronounced as /ʃ/ and /ʒ/ before a consonant and so *fist* sounds like *fished*, *castle* like *cashle*, and *arrest* like *arresht*.

Certain South-West features may also exist in Ireland outside that region but typically only in rural areas. An example is the backing, slight lowering, and perhaps rounding of MOUTH towards \[ɐʊ~ʌʊ~ɔʊ\], so that, to a Dublin or General American speaker, *about* nears the sound of *a boat*. The consonants /θ/ and /ð/ (as in *thick* and *those*), which are typically dental in other Irish English varieties, are traditionally alveolar: \[t\] and \[d\], respectively (thus, *thick* and *those* merge to the sound of *tick* and *doze*). GOAT and FACE are preserved as long monophthongs: \[\] and \[\], respectively. Those varieties are all rhotic, like most other Irish accents, but the /r/ sound is specifically a velarised alveolar approximant: \[ɹˠ\]. (Among some very traditional speakers, other possible /r/ variants include a "tapped R", the alveolar tap \[\] , or even a "uvular R", the voiced uvular fricative \[\] , in rural south-central Ireland.)

Features shared with both rural Irish English and working-class Dublin English include the vowels in LOT, CLOTH, NORTH and THOUGHT having a more open starting point and lacking a rounded quality: \[ɑ~ä\]. Furthermore, for all of those varieties, PRICE and CHOICE may also lack a rounded quality, the lexical set START is very fronted (\[æːɹ\]), the /h/ may be dropped before /j/ (*hue* pronounced like *you*), a distinction remains between *tern* and *turn*, and \<w\> and \<wh\> remain separate sounds.

## Grammar

South-West Irish English allows the use of a *do be* habitual aspect. Examples include *I do be thinking about it* or *she does be late* and replace Standard English constructions of those sentences: *I think about it (often)* or *she is late (usually)*.

Non-canonical constituent order is also possible, in which a sentence may be arranged as *Thinking to steal a few eggs I was* (rather than *I was thinking to steal a few eggs*) to give the first clause salience or emphasis.

# Cletus Joseph Benjamin

**Cletus Joseph Benjamin** (May 2, 1909  May 15, 1961) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia from 1960 to 1961.

## Biography

Cletus Benjamin was born in Old Forge, Pennsylvania, to Evan Thomas and Mary (née Corcoran) Benjamin. He attended grade school in Forest City and high school in Scranton. He studied at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook for two years before entering the Pontifical North American College in Rome. He also studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University, where he earned a doctorate in theology.

Benjamin was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani on December 8, 1935. Following his return to Pennsylvania, he served as secretary to Cardinal Dennis Joseph Dougherty from 1938 to 1943. He then served as vice-chancellor of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia until 1945, when he became full chancellor. He was named a domestic prelate by Pope Pius XII in 1947, and became pastor of the Church of the Incarnation in Philadelphia in 1954.

On August 17, 1960, Benjamin was appointed auxiliary bishop of Philadelphia and titular bishop of Binda by Pope John XXIII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following December 22 from Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, with Bishops Joseph Mark McShea and Joseph Carroll McCormick serving as co-consecrators, at the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul.

Less than a year after his elevation to the episcopacy, Benjamin died from a heart attack at the Church of the Incarnation, at age 52.

# Christ Church (Greenville, South Carolina)

**Christ Church (Episcopal)** is an Episcopal church in Greenville, South Carolina, United States. which was consecrated in 1854. The church and its courtyard are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as **Christ Church (Episcopal) and Churchyard**. It is the oldest organized religious body and the oldest church building remaining in Greenville.

## History

In March, 1820, Reverend Rodolphus Dickerson founded St. James Mission in the village of Greenville Court House. In 1825, Vardry McBee, who was an early industrialist in Greenville, gave 4 acres (1.6 ha) for the church. The cornerstone was laid on September 15, 1825. The brick church was 55 ft (17 m) long and 30 ft (9 m) wide. The first service was held on June 18, 1826. The church was accepted into the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina as Christ Church Parish.

In 1845, the parish proposed the building of a new church. Joel Poinsett, who was a vestryman of the church, drew up plans. Since these were felt to too elaborate and unaffordable, construction was delayed and Poinsett died. Rev. John D. McCollough, who had designed and built over a dozen churches in upstate South Carolina, drew the final plans and built the church. The cornerstone was laid on May 29, 1852. It contained religious books, church and diocesan publications in a sealed copper box.

The nave of the brick Gothic church was originally 80 ft (24 m) long and 39 ft (12 m) wide. There were five lancet windows on each side. The west end had five narrow stained glass windows, which has been described as a "pentaphlet," and an art glass circular window depicting the Holy Trinity. The chancel had a triplet window in the chancel depicting Christ, St. John, and St. Peter. The peaked ceiling was 65 ft (20 m) tall. Although several sources, quoting an 1856 article in the *Southern Episcopalian*, say that the brick bell tower is 130 ft (40 m) tall, the 1934 architectural drawings indicate that is 104.67 ft (31.9 m) tall from the top of the foundation to the base of its cross. The church was consecrated on September 29, 1854.

A balcony was added in 1875. The south transept was constructed in 1880. In 1914, the triplex window in the chancel was replaced with a stained glass window of the Last Supper from Franz Mayer & Co. in Munich This window was dedicated to Ellison Capers, who was a Confederate general, rector in 1866 to 1888, and Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina. In 1968, the north transept was built to complete the Gothic cruciform design, and an undercroft was added. In 2000, the balcony was enlarged and a 68-rank Goulding and Wood organ was installed.

The Historic American Buildings Survey documented the church with photographs and measured drawings in 1934. The drawings include a site plan and drawings of various details of the church.

Christ Church is now in the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina. It sponsors Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville.

## Churchyard

The churchyard has a cemetery. In addition to Vardry McBee, clergy, church members, and former mayors, three politicians are interred: the post-Civil War provisional Governor Benjamin Franklin Perry, his son, U.S. Congressman William H. Perry, and U.S. Senator Joseph H. Earle.

Bomberman 64 is the first 3D game within the Bomberman series. It implements a different single-player mode by incorporating action-adventure and platforming stages instead of arenas in which enemies or other elements must be destroyed. This new variety of single-player game was well-received by critics for its imagination and depth, though most critics also deemed the multiplayer mode to be lacking compared to previous entries in the series. Three more Bomberman games were released on the Nintendo 64: Bomberman Hero (1998), Bomberman 64: The Second Attack (2000), and Bomberman 64 (2001).

# Bomberman 64 (1997 video game)

***Bomberman 64*** is a video game developed and published by Hudson Soft in Japan, and published by Nintendo in North America and Europe for the Nintendo 64. The game was released in Europe and North America in November and December 1997, respectively. While the game never saw a release on the Wii's Virtual Console service, it was released on the Wii U Virtual Console in both Europe and North America in March 2017 followed by Japan in June 2017.

*Bomberman 64* is the first 3D game within the *Bomberman* series. It implements a different single-player mode by incorporating action-adventure and platforming stages instead of arenas in which enemies or other elements must be destroyed. This new variety of single-player game was well-received by critics for its imagination and depth, though most critics also deemed the multiplayer mode to be lacking compared to previous entries in the series.

Three more Bomberman games were released on the Nintendo 64: *Bomberman Hero* (1998), *Bomberman 64: The Second Attack* (2000), and *Bomberman 64* (2001).

## Gameplay

This game is featured in full 3D, thus the directional controls change. Bomberman is able to walk in eight directions with a rotating camera facing in eight directions and with three different zoom levels. His bombs have a different effect than in other games of the series; the bomb's explosion waves have a spherical pattern, rather than the traditional cross-shaped ones.

In both single player and multi-player modes, Bomberman always has the ability to kick, pick up, and throw bombs, without the need of power-ups, as in previous games. A unique feature of this game is that Bomberman can "pump" a bomb while holding it, which will make the bomb's explosion more powerful. A pumped-up bomb cannot be kicked or picked up again. Unlike most platform games of its time, Bomberman cannot jump, nor can he swim in water, although he can wade in shallow water. Since Bomberman lacks the ability to jump, higher areas that do not have a path leading to them must be reached by bouncing across bombs - typically this requires the "remote" power-up to avoid the normally timed bombs exploding early. "Bomb jumping" is actually required to fully explore most levels, retrieve certain power-ups, and cross many obstacles.

If Bomberman runs into an enemy NPC, or is hit on the head by a small object, such as an unexploded bomb, he will become temporarily dizzy. While in this state, he can get hoisted up by an enemy and thrown around, or even finished off by getting thrown off the map, or into a bomb explosion. Bomberman can do the same to an enemy.

When Bomberman takes damage, he dies. If he has a "heart" power-up when he's hit, he will survive, but he will lose the heart. When he dies, all power-ups he obtained will scatter all over the place. In the Normal single-player mode, taking damage simply causes Bomberman to drop the heart, and if it doesn't bounce off the level, he can pick it up again to survive another hit. In the Hard mode, the heart will disappear.

The game has four bosses, all of which perform the same bomb attacks as Bomberman. All bosses can cause Bomberman to be dizzy if they touch him on Hard mode.

### Game progression

At the start of the game, Bomberman can enter any of four anchors, which are terrariums of other planets (that were probably drained by Altair). In each anchor there are four stages. The first and third stages are adventure stages which Bomberman must navigate by solving puzzles and blasting his way toward the "Goal Arrow." The second and fourth stages are boss stages. Bomberman must fight Sirius or one of Altair's subordinates in the second stage, and he must fight the world's guardian in the fourth.

After Bomberman beats the first four anchors, he can enter the Black Fortress. Like the previous worlds, the first and third stages are adventure stages, but this time Bomberman must fight the guardian in the second stage and Altair himself in the fourth stage.

In every stage there are five gold cards to collect (100 total). Once all gold cards have been collected, the player can unlock the secret world, Rainbow Palace. After all the gold cards have been collected from there (an additional 20, making a grand total of 120 Gold Cards) the player unlocks more courses in multiplayer mode plus the "Full Power" cheat option. With the cheat activated, Bomberman starts with 8 bombs, 5 flames, power bombs, and remote bombs.

## Synopsis

In the game's opening sequence, a peaceful-looking planet with gardens, rivers, and residential buildings abound is shown. But then the space pirate, Artemis, drops from the sky with a band of soldiers to raid the planet. Altair, the leader of the space pirates, watches from the Black Fortress, using his coveted weapon, the Omni Cube, to completely drain the planet's energy, condemning it to a zombie-like state. Artemis returns to the Black Fortress to meet up with her partners, fellow pirates Orion and Regulus and her superior, Altair. Together, they set their sights on their next target: Planet Bomber, home of the protagonist, Bomberman.

They maneuver their fortress into the atmosphere of Planet Bomber. Bomberman, from atop a cliff, observes the Black Fortress' descent. Not much later, the Fortress begins to open fire on the people of Planet Bomber, firing destructive energy rays into populated areas. A warrior clad in white then flies out to the surprised Bomberman, and asks if he plans to defeat the assailants. Bomberman gives an affirmative response, and the stranger (later introduced as Sirius) explains that a force field protects the Fortress from any outside attack. Sirius goes on to say that this force field can be deactivated by destroying the four anchors attached to the Fortress; the "Green Garden": a ruin-filled natural world, "Blue Resort": a fortress surrounded by water, "Red Mountain": a large volcano fraught with danger, and "White Glacier": a large, snowy mountain covered in ice. Once inside the Fortress, they must find and destroy Altair.

Bomberman climbs onto and destroys all four anchors with the help of Sirius, who supplies power-ups and teaches him new techniques. In the process, he kills Artemis and Orion, but Regulus survives. Once the force field around the Fortress is deactivated, the duo enter the Fortress. After sneaking through Altair's security measures, Bomberman finds and confronts Altair, and after a difficult struggle, defeats the pirate. The previously defeated Regulus swoops in and attempts to rescue his master from the battlefield, but is then knocked away by Sirius. Altair drops the Omni Cube, which Sirius lands on the battle platform to retrieve. Altair is annihilated by a newly powered-up Sirius. Sirius reveals that he was only using Bomberman's abilities into taking back the Omni Cube which was stolen by Altair, adding that he was sick of working with him and lying to him during the mission. He takes the Omni Cube and escapes to his secret lair to destroy Planet Bomber.

Bomberman pursues him, making his way through the palace, confronting Sirius for his betrayal. When Sirius is about to fire on Bomberman, he is saved by Regulus, knocking him away and destroying the Omni Cube. With the aid of Regulus, Bomberman defeats Sirius. Without the power of the Omni Cube, the Rainbow Palace crashes into the Black Fortress, destroying both, as Regulus escapes with Bomberman, informing him that he was surprised with Bomberman's ability to defeat Sirius, as he and his comrades had considerable difficulty taking the Omni Cube from Sirius. Regulus leaves Planet Bomber, stating that one day he will have a rematch with his new rival, Bomberman, who celebrates his victory.

## Development

After working on the game for about six months, the development team scrapped all their initial designs and started anew due to the emergence of more advanced 3D games on the market. It was subsequently exhibited at the 1997 Electronic Entertainment Expo.

## Reception

*Bomberman 64* received mixed reviews. Critics almost unanimously commented that, in a reversal of the *Bomberman* series's most fundamental trend, the single-player mode is much better than the multiplayer mode. However, their opinions of the overall quality of these modes varied. Doug Perry from *IGN* applauded the single-player mode for its intrigue and inventiveness, particularly the bomb bridging and tower-building abilities, and stated that the multiplayer mode, while not the best of the series, is accessible and benefits from well-designed arenas. Joe Fielder from *GameSpot* instead judged the single-player mode to be a satisfying improvement over previous *Bomberman* single-player experiences, but not essential, and said that the multiplayer mode has "lost all the addictive charm that so positively defined the series."

Shawn Smith and Dan Hsu of *Electronic Gaming Monthly* considered the multiplayer mode outright problematic, remarking that the 3D format, which occasionally makes it difficult to see what the player character is doing even in single-player mode, is a constant hassle in multiplayer. Hsu commented that "in my book, certain games should stay 2-D, and the B-man series is no exception." Their co-reviewer Crispin Boyer opined that the multiplayer simply gets old quickly, while Kraig Kujawa found it sufficiently intense and fun, though not as good as in previous installments. *GamePro* found that the analog stick control works fine in single-player mode, but causes heavy aggravation in the heat of the multiplayer battle mode. However, the reviewer concluded that the single-player mode is good enough to make the game worth buying.

title: Todd Thibaud

abstract: Todd Thibaud is a singer-songwriter based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He was a co-founder of the group Courage Brothers, a power pop group of the early 1990s, before establishing himself as a solo musician in the late 1990s and 2000s.

# Todd Thibaud

**Todd Thibaud** is a singer-songwriter based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He was a co-founder of the group Courage Brothers, a power pop group of the early 1990s, before establishing himself as a solo musician in the late 1990s and 2000s.

## Biography

Thibaud was raised in Burlington, Vermont, and moved to Boston in 1987 to pursue a career in music. The Courage Brothers, whom Thibaud fronted, released two albums independently in 1993 and 1994, and the group was nearing a deal with a major label Relativity Records when the group broke up. Thibaud retained the band name and continued work on the major-label release, but was eventually dropped when Relativity switched formats from rock to hip hop and R&B. Thibaud then embarked on a solo career, garnering critical acclaim for his first release, 1997's *Favorite Waste of Time*. The album was produced by Dumptruck founder Kevin Salem. Songs from *Favorite Waste of Time* were used on the television series *Melrose Place*, *7th Heaven* and *Smallville*, and Thibaud appeared on HBO's show, *Reverb*. The album *Little Mystery* followed in 1999, as did *Squash* in 2002; both met with critical success. Thibaud then was involved in Hardpan, a collaboration between Singer-Songwriters in 2002, including Thibaud, Chris Borrouhgs, Terry Lee Hale and Joseph Parsons. Thibaud also wrote the theme song to the 2000 Big East basketball championship for ESPN, a song entitled "In the City Tonight". Thibaud did two Records until now with Joseph Parsons (Blue Rose Records 2007 and 2011). Thibaud has toured the US numerous times but now performs mostly in the Boston area, continuing to release music independently; many of the albums he released in the 2000s have been on Blue Rose Records, a German imprint. His 2009 release *Broken* was released in single-CD and double-CD formats, the latter containing a full-length acoustic bonus disc.

# Dottie and Don

***Dottie and Don*** is a studio album by American country music artists Don Gibson and Dottie West. It was released in March 1969 on RCA Victor Records and was produced by Chet Atkins and Danny Davis. The album was a collection of duet recordings between Gibson and West. It was both artists first album of duets to be recorded. Among the songs from the project, "Rings of Gold" became a major hit in 1969.

## Background and content

*Dottie & Don* was first collection of duets to be recorded by Don Gibson and Dottie West. While West had previously recorded with Jim Reeves, Gibson had not professionally cut duets with another performer. The album was produced by both Chet Atkins and Danny Davis. The sessions were recorded in November 1968 at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee.

The project was a collection of 12 duet recordings. One song, "Final Examination", was composed by West. Another song, "Sweet Dreams" was composes (and first recorded by) Gibson. Remaining tracks were either new recordings or cover versions of songs cut by others. Among the album's cover versions was "I Love You Because", which was first a hit by Leon Payne. Another cover included "When I Stop Dreaming", which was first a song by The Louvin Brothers. "Sweet Memories" was a third cover, which was first a hit by Andy Williams.

*Dottie & Don* was originally released in March 1969 on RCA Victor Records. The album was first issued as a vinyl LP, featuring six songs on each side of the record. In 2019, the album was reissued to digital retailers by Sony Music Entertainment. *Dottie & Don* spent a total of 12 weeks on the *Billboard* Top Country Albums chart before peaking at number 21 in July 1969.

The album included two singles. The first being "Rings of Gold", which was released in February 1969.

title: Clevis fastener

# Clevis fastener

A **clevis fastener** is a two-piece fastener system consisting of a *clevis* and a *clevis pin head*.

## Terms

The *clevis* is a U-shaped piece that has holes at the end of the prongs to accept the clevis pin. The *clevis pin* is similar to a bolt, but is either partially threaded or unthreaded with a cross-hole for a split pin. A *tang* is a piece that is sometimes fitted in the space within the clevis and is held in place by the clevis pin. The combination of a simple clevis fitted with a pin is commonly called a *shackle,* although a clevis and pin is only one of the many forms a shackle may take.

## Usage

Clevises are used in a wide variety of fasteners used in farming equipment and sailboat rigging, as well as the automotive, aircraft and construction industries. They are also widely used to attach control surfaces and other accessories to servo controls in airworthy model aircraft. As a part of a fastener, a clevis provides a method of allowing rotation in some axes while restricting rotation in others.

## Clevis pin

There are two main types of clevis pins: threaded and unthreaded. Unthreaded clevis pins have a domed head at one end and a cross-hole at the other end. A cotter pin (US usage) or split pin is used to keep the clevis pin in place. Threaded clevis pins have a partially threaded shank on one end and a formed head on the other. The formed head has a lip, which acts as a stop when threading the pin into the shackle, and a flattened tab with a cross-hole. The flattened tab allows for easy installation of the pin and the cross-hole allows the pin to be moused.

A bolt can function as a clevis pin, but a bolt is not intended to take the lateral stress that a clevis pin must handle. Normal bolts are manufactured to handle tension loads, whereas clevis pins and bolts are designed to withstand shearing forces. The sheering strength of a threaded bolt is determined by its inner thread diameter.

Clevis pins should be closely fitted to the holes in the clevis to limit wear and reduce the failure rate of either the pin or the clevis.

## Twist clevis

A twist shackle provides a loop at a right angle to the axis of rotation. Older farming implements intended to be pulled by a team of draft animals often require a twist shackle to be hitched.

## Clevis hanger

A clevis hanger consists of one U-shaped clevis and a second V-shaped clevis with a hole in a flattened section at the base of the V, joined together with a bolt or pin. Clevis hangers are used as a pipe attachment providing vertical adjustment for pipes.

## Clevis bracket

A clevis bracket generally takes the form of a solid metal piece with a flat rectangular base, fitted with holes for bolts or machine screws, and two rounded wings in parallel forming a clevis. Commonly used in aircraft and cars, clevis brackets allow mounting of rods to flat surfaces.

## Clevis hook

A clevis hook is a hook, with or without a snap lock, with a clevis and bolt or pin at the base. The clevis is used to fasten the hook to a bracket or chain.

## Clevis rod end

A clevis rod end is a folded or machined piece formed into a clevis and fitted with a hole at its base to which a rod is attached. In machined pieces, the hole is most often threaded.

## Twin clevis

A twin clevis is a solid piece with two clevises directly opposite one another, each fitted with a pin. Twin clevises are commonly used to join two lengths of chain.

# Christ Church (Macon, Georgia)

**Christ Church** is an Episcopal church in Macon, Georgia. Founded in 1825, it was the first church established in the city. The current building was built in 1851 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

## History

Christ Church was founded by Reverend Lot Jones on May 5, 1825 while on a mission through Georgia. Organized only three years after Macon was incorporated, it was the first church to be founded in the city. In 1826, the fourth convention for the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia was held at the Macon parish, with Bishop Nathaniel Bowen of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina presiding. The first building was constructed in 1834 and later consecrated in 1838. On February 24, 1844, Thomas Fielding Scott was ordained priest by Bishop Stephen Elliott in this building. In 1851, the church building was demolished and replaced by the current structure, a Gothic building which was consecrated by Elliott on May 2, 1852. In October 1863, the church donated its large church bell to the Macon Arsenal as part of the war effort. It would later be replaced in 1868. On December 19, 1867, noted poet Sidney Lanier was married in the church. On July 14, 1971, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1999, a Fisk organ was installed in the nave.

# Just Say When

"**Just Say When**" is a song by American rock band Nothing More. It was their third single off of their album *The Stories We Tell Ourselves*. It peaked at number 8 on the *Billboard* Mainstream Rock Songs chart in September 2018.

## Background

In December 2017, after Nothing More earned three Grammy Award nominations, one for the album *The Stories We Tell Ourselves* (Best Rock Album), and two for its first single, "Go to War" (Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song), the president of the band's record label, Eleven Seven Music, announced plans to release the track "Just Say When" as a single. This was due to the belief that the softer sound of "Just Say When" was most likely out of the album to appeal outside of the band's core hard rock fanbase and into the alternative rock, indie rock, and pop music radio stations and markets, in an effort to maximize the band's exposure from the Grammy Nominations. While the band would ultimately release the hard rock "Do You Really Want It?" as the album's second single, the band later released "Just Say When" as the third single. The song, alongside an accompanying music video, was released on April 27, 2018. The video was directed by Daniel Cummings and recorded at El Paso International Airport. The video involves a man chasing after a woman, catching up to her, slow dancing with her, only to have one fall to their knees while the other ends up running away. A lyric video had also previously been released in August 2017, as a promotional effort prior to the album's release.

## Themes and composition

Frontman and lyricist Johnny Hawkins described the song as being about his emotionally difficult divorce.

> The day my mom died I met a girl. This girl became my girlfriend and years later my wife. With fear of the past and hope for the future, we set sail with holes in our boat. As the inevitable pressures of life came pouring in, we sensed ourselves starting to sink. Two half-souls shoveling buckets of water, desperate to hold on to an imagined future, but not fast enough. Then one day she became my ex-wife. I felt in my gut that it was right, but every other part felt wrong. Whether people will admit it or not, I think our deepest fear is the loss of love. I found something to be more afraid of... settling... lukewarm... Just Say When."

Musically, the song was described as an outlier for the band and album; while much of their music has a heavier, hard rock sound, the song was described as an acoustic ballad, consisting of just vocals, acoustic guitar, and strings, and having a pop punk ballad influence.

title: Clevosaurus

abstract: Clevosaurus is an extinct genus of rhynchocephalian reptile from the Late Triassic and the Early Jurassic periods. Species of Clevosaurus were widespread across Pangaea, and have been found on all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Five species of Clevosaurus have been found in ancient fissure fill deposits in south-west England and Wales, alongside other sphenodontians, early mammals and dinosaurs. In regards to its Pangaean distribution, C. hadroprodon is the oldest record of a sphenodontian from Gondwana, though its affinity to Clevosaurus has been questioned.

# Clevosaurus

***Clevosaurus*** (meaning "Gloucester lizard") is an extinct genus of rhynchocephalian reptile from the Late Triassic and the Early Jurassic periods. Species of *Clevosaurus* were widespread across Pangaea, and have been found on all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Five species of *Clevosaurus* have been found in ancient fissure fill deposits in south-west England and Wales, alongside other sphenodontians, early mammals and dinosaurs. In regards to its Pangaean distribution, *C. hadroprodon* is the oldest record of a sphenodontian from Gondwana, though its affinity to *Clevosaurus* has been questioned.

## History of discovery

The first species of *Clevosaurus* to be described was *C. hudsoni*, which was described by William Elgin Swinton in 1939 from a fissure fill deposit in Cromhall Quarry (Magnesian Conglomerate Formation) in the county of Gloucestershire, England, with the name of the county lending its name to the genus.

Another notable specimen was discovered in 1953 in Cromhall Quarry alongside the holotype of *Cryptovaranoides microlanius*.

## Description

Species of *Clevosaurus* varied in body size, with *Clevosaurus sectumsemper* having an estimated total length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in), while *C. hudsoni* had a total length of around 25 centimetres (9.8 in)*.* The skull length could range from as little as 1.4 centimetres (0.55 in) in *C. sectumsemper* and up to 4 centimetres (1.6 in) in *C. hudsoni*. Notable for their greatly reduced number of teeth (3-6 per jaw quadrant), broad skulls and shortened snouts. The teeth of european clevosaurs tended to be mesio-distally elongated, blade-like, and occluded precisely with the opposite pair of teeth, leaving conspicuous diagonal wear facets and acting as a self-sharpening cutting surface. However, the teeth of *C. brasiliensis* have a very different morphology with no diagonal wear facets, the teeth of the dentary are all conical excluding the posterior-most tooth which can be up to three-times bigger than any of the other teeth, they also have a unique form of implantation, where the base of the teeth sit deeply within the jaw bones, which is not known of in any other rhynchocephalian.

## Paleobiology

Species of *Clevosaurus* were likely insectivorous. Biomechanical modelling suggests that they had high enough tooth pressures and strong enough bite force to crush chitin, indicating that they had the ability to feed on thick-shelled beetles as well as possibly small vertebrates.

## Taxonomy

At least 9 species of *Clevosaurus* are considered valid:

The three species known from the Sinemurian aged Lufeng Formation of China (*C. mcgilli, C.wangi* and *C. petilus*) are now considered indeterminate within the genus. Indeterminate remains are also known from the Stormberg Group (either Elliot or Clarens Formation) of South Africa, dating to the Hettangian.

Below is a cladogram of the relationships within Clevosauridae based on the phylogenetic analysis of Hsiou et al. (2015):

*"Clevosaurus" latidens* was recovered outside of Clevosauridae, as the sister taxon of Opisthodontia. It was subsequently assigned to a new genus, *Fraserosphenodon*, in 2018.

*Clevosaurus* is considered to be a member of the group Eusphenodontia by the groups definition, due to it possessing characters not shared with more primitive sphenodontians. By definition, it is excluded from Neosphenodontia.

Position of *Clevosaurus* within Rhynchocephalia, after DeMar et al. 2022.

# Sincere Department Store

**Sincere Department Store** (Chinese: 先施百貨; pinyin: *Xiānshī Bǎihuò*; Wade–Giles: *Hsien-shih Pai-huo*) is a department store under the Sincere Company Limited and one of the oldest department chains in Hong Kong. Prior to 1949, its largest operation was in Shanghai, and along with Wing On (which survives in Hong Kong), Sun Sun (新新公司 1926–1951) and Da Sun (大新公司) was one of the "four great department stores" of Shanghai, and therefore, China generally.

## History

Founded by Ma Ying-piu on 8 January 1900 after returning from Australia and partnership with others to form the first Chinese department store in then British Hong Kong. Ma was inspired by his experience with retail stores in Sydney. and modelled Sincere after David Jones. Now, the company is owned by the Ma family.

Until it closed in 1954, Sincere's Shanghai branch was one of the "four great companies" of Shanghai. Sincere opened in Shanghai in 1917, the first Chinese-owned department store and the first of the "Four Great Companies", which were large department stores modelled on Australian precedent established by Cantonese migrants returning from Australia. The Four Great Companies brought the model of modern department stores with egalitarian service pioneered by Anthony Hordern & Sons to Shanghai and quickly became the focal points of Shanghai's commercial district.

Prior to World War II, Sincere operated in China with stores in Shanghai, Nanning and Guangzhou. The Guangzhou store was destroyed by enemy fire during the war. With the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 the remaining locations were eventually taken over by the Communist state, along with all other private companies in the country. The Shanghai department store closed in 1954 while the attached hotel was part nationalised in 1956.

Sincere returned to mainland China in 1993 by opening a shopping centre at 479 East Nanjing Road in Shanghai.

On 15 May 2020, Realord Group Holdings Limited proposed a voluntary conditional general cash offer to acquire the entire share capital of The Sincere Company Limited. The total cash consideration would be $500 million.

## Post 1997

Since 1997, Sincere's retailing arm is mostly in Hong Kong with four locations in Hong Kong (Central: Li Po Chun Chambers; Causeway Bay: Percival Street) and Kowloon (Mong Kok: Grand Century Place; Mong Kok: King Wah Centre; Sham Shui Po: Dragon Centre; Yau Tong: Domain; and Tsuen Wan: Citywalk 2); there are Chinese location, including Dalian. The Ma family still has a place on the corporate board (Board Chair Walter K.W. Ma, managing director/Executive Director Philip K.H. Ma and board member King Wing Ma), but most day-to-day operations are run by non-family executives. Sincere is one of a few department stores that survived, many foreign and local firms have since disappeared.

***Just Say Ozzy*** is a live EP by Ozzy Osbourne. It was released in March 1990, and was remastered on August 22, 1995. It entered the UK charts on 17 March and reached number 69.

## Overview

The sleeve states that *Just Say Ozzy* was recorded at London's Brixton Academy in November 1989. However, no known dates correspond (the tour ended in August 1989 in Moscow), and the music appears to have been re-recorded and mixed at Electric Lady Studios in New York with engineer Adam Yellin with the audience noise and some tracks kept from the original live recording.

*Just Say Ozzy* was remastered in 1995 along with the rest of the singer's catalog. However, the EP —along with *Speak Of The Devil*, *The Ultimate Sin* and *Live & Loud* —has since been deleted from Ozzy's catalog and was not remastered and reissued with the rest of Ozzy's catalog in 2002. This is mainly due to a continuing legal struggle with bassist/songwriter Phil Soussan over the song "Shot in the Dark".

*Just Say Ozzy* peaked at number 58 on the *Billboard* 200 and was certified Gold on July 21, 1993.

The tracks "Sweet Leaf" and "War Pigs" were composed and originally recorded by Black Sabbath, the group Osbourne fronted in the 1970s.
