It was produced by Robert Greenwald Productions and stars Richard Thomas, Tess Harper, Glynnis O'Connor and Shawn Elliot. The film is a dramatization of the 1991 death of wealthy Dallas resident Nancy Lyon (played by O'Connor) by arsenic poisoning, a crime for which her husband Richard Lyon (Thomas) was the police's main suspect.

## Plot

On January 9, 1991, in Dallas, Texas, Nancy Lyon is rushed to the hospital where she eventually dies from arsenic poisoning. Detective Ortega and A.D.A. Sims investigate the case. The pair question Nancy's wealthy family, the Dillards, who tell them that Nancy and her husband, Richard Lyon, had recently gotten back together after Richard previously left to be with his mistress. According to the Dillards, Nancy had suspected that Richard was slowly poisoning her, but had been too embarrassed to get the police involved. Nancy's brother Bill is adamant that Richard killed Nancy so as to inherit her fortune. Ortega and Sims question the Lyons' nanny, Ellen, who describes Richard as a loving father to the couple's two children. Flashbacks reveal that while both Nancy and Richard were architects, Nancy's far more successful career often kept her away from her family and put a strain on their marriage. The couple also often argued over Nancy's family, who looked down on Richard.

The police discover that Richard had recently purchased arsenic, which he says was for a fire ant infestation in the house. Richard suggests his lawyer, Guthrie, look into the possibility that Nancy may have committed suicide. Richard recounts how Nancy was full of life when they first met in college. He insists they were happily married until one particular family trip to Arizona, in which Nancy visited Bill who was in a treatment center for his drug and alcohol problems. After that trip, Nancy began isolating herself, quit her job and started seeing a therapist. Richard says it was at this time that he began an affair and filed for divorce, although he later returned to Nancy for the sake of their children. Meanwhile, the police receive anonymous letters claiming that Bill is responsible for poisoning Nancy. As they are unable to identify the sender, Richard remains the police's prime suspect.

After a grand jury indicts Richard, he is arrested and put on trial for Nancy's murder. During the trial, Guthrie accuses the police of overlooking Bill as a suspect. It comes to light from Nancy's therapy sessions that Bill and Nancy had an incestuous relationship when they were children. Guthrie also presents handwritten notes that were found among Nancy's belongings, in which she writes about how grateful she is to Richard for saving her from Bill, and shares her fears that Bill might have sexual desires towards her daughters. Bill insists that he and Nancy were on good terms before her death, and that their past incest was the result of a lonely childhood. To prove his innocence, Bill agrees to take a polygraph test, the result of which is inconclusive.

Ellen is called to the witness stand next and admits she had been concerned that Nancy was suicidal after Richard left her. Guthrie then produces an invoice for arsenic from a chemical plant with Nancy's signature on it. The owner of the plant is called to the stand where he testifies that while a woman did call to inquire about arsenic for a fire ant infestation, she never actually purchased any from him. Moreover, he is unable to confirm if Nancy was the woman in question as they never met in-person. When questioned about the invoice, the plant owner insists it is a forgery. A.D.A. Sims then brings in a handwriting expert who testifies that the aforementioned handwritten notes contain both Nancy and Richard's handwritings, suggesting that Richard had doctored the evidence. Despite Richard's insistence that he is innocent, the jury finds him guilty of first-degree murder and he is sentenced to life imprisonment.

## Cast

## Production

*Death in Small Doses* is a dramatization of the 1991 death of wealthy Dallas native Nancy Lyon by arsenic poisoning, a crime for which her husband Richard Lyon was the police's prime suspect. The film was directed by Sondra Locke and written by Scott Swanton. It was produced by Robert Greenwald Productions for ABC, with Robert Greenwald and Carla Singer serving as the executive producers. The creative team also included director of photography William A. Fraker, editor John W. Wheeler, and composer Jeff Rona.

Although Locke had already directed two theatrical films, *Death in Small Doses* was the actress-turned-director's television directorial debut. According to Locke, she had been struggling to get her next theatrical project off the ground when her agent suggested she try her hand at directing a television film instead. Locke read through a few scripts and picked Swanton's as her next project, citing the "mysterious quality" that set it apart from the other more straightforward scripts. She was especially drawn to the story's open-ended resolution which aligned with her own uncertainty about Richard's guilt. She explained:

> I thought this will be interesting to tell a story as a director when I'm not quite sure as a director myself truly what he did or did not do. To the audience, then, it's like a game of, "Did he or didn't he?"

Locke said she underestimated how difficult directing for television would be, with the tight schedule keeping her on her toes and leaving little room for error. The true crime aspect posed its own challenges for the filmmaker, as adhering to the real-life case meant having to limit the film's dramatic scope. Locke also noted the directorial challenge of finding ways to keep the story moving while covering nearly 30 pages of courtroom scenes that had been pieced together from the real-life court transcripts.

Locke scheduled three days of rehearsals for the cast which enabled them to have extensive discussions about the source material. In the film, Richard and Nancy Lyon are played by Richard Thomas and Glynnis O'Connor respectively. Locke was keen to have Thomas portray the accused husband, feeling that the actor's "quality of innocence or directness" would play well into the ambiguity surrounding the character's guilt. For Thomas, he liked that the film set itself apart from other true crime dramas by leaving so much room for interpretation. Because her character mainly appears in sporadic flashbacks after dying at the start of the film, O'Connor described Nancy as "a real mystery" and felt that she had more creative freedom that usual in how she approached the role. O'Connor researched the physical effects of arsenic poisoning and worked with the production's makeup artist to ensure she looked the part.

*Death in Small Doses* was filmed over 18 days in and around February 1993. It was shot on location in both Charlotte and Monroe, North Carolina, with specific locales including the VanLandingham Estate and the Union County Courthouse, the latter of which was used to recreate the courtroom scenes. Local celebrities such as radio personalities Robert D. Raiford and Don Russell were cast in minor roles.

## Release and reception

*Death in Small Doses* premiered on ABC on January 16, 1995, in the 9:00–11:00 pm time slot. The film was originally scheduled to premiere one year earlier on January 10, 1994, but had its air date postponed by the network. According to a network representative, the delay was to avoid having a crowd of similar crime films airing around the same time.

### Ratings

The film earned a national Nielsen rating of 11.0, where each ratings point represents 954,000 households, making it the 40th-highest-rated prime time broadcast for the week of January 16 to 22, 1995.

### Critical response

*Variety*'s Ray Loynd commended Locke's well-executed direction, Swanton's engaging story, and the cast's performance, with particular praise for the "utterly convincing" Thomas. However, Loynd found the lead characters unsympathetic and cold, which greatly detracted from his appreciation of the otherwise suspense-filled drama. Like Loynd, Faye Zuckerman's review in *The Spokesman-Review* credited the "high suspense" to Locke's direction and Thomas' performance. On the other hand, *People*'s David Hiltbrand was not impressed by the lukewarm suspense, but nonetheless found the film engaging thanks mostly to Locke's confident visual command.

In a positive review, the *Sun-Sentinel*'s Tom Jicha wrote that *Death in Small Doses* breaks conventional wisdom by proving that true crime dramas "can be provocative and gripping without being exploitive and titillating." Jicha praised Thomas' compelling turn as the dubious husband, and predicted that the uncertainty over Richard's guilt by the film's end would stir up debate among audiences. The ambiguous resolution also drew mixed reactions from critics: Tom Maurstad of *The Dallas Morning News* felt it appropriately reflected "how elusive and unknowable 'the truth' can be," while Jeff Plass of *The News-Press* felt it undermined the rest of the otherwise well-paced and intriguing film. Meanwhile, *The San Diego Union-Tribune*'s John Freeman and *The Grand Rapids Press*' Ruth Butler both praised the film. The former enjoyed the pacing, while the latter concluded that the film "keeps your interest, is short on histrionics and takes a dignified route to the finish."

Other reviewers were more critical; Paul Droesch of *TV Guide Magazine* and Tammy C. Carter of *The Times-Picayune* both gave *Death in Small Doses* middling reviews. Droesch thought the film fumbled in its attempts to build suspense, while Carter thought it lacked substance despite a good performance from Thomas. John Koch's review in *The Boston Globe* found that the film spends too much time focusing on certain details of the investigation instead of building up the characters and human elements of the story. Overall, Koch was highly critical of Locke's direction, writing that she "makes a jumble of what might have been a fairly suspenseful, if all-too-familiar, network based-upon." John Voorhees of *The Seattle Times* thought the insufficient background on Nancy's life—seen only through flashbacks—was the script's undoing, as it ensures that the audience does not care about Nancy's death and thus the overall story.

# Teopanzolco

**Teopanzolco** is an Aztec archaeological site in the Mexican state of Morelos. Due to urban growth, it now lies within the modern city of Cuernavaca. Most of the visible remains date from the Middle to Late Postclassic Period (1300-1521).

## Etymology

*Teopanzolco* comes from the Nahuatl language, it has been interpreted as "the place of the old temple".

## Location

Teopanzolco was built upon a hill formed from a lava flow. Although this area is now occupied by the Vista Hermosa district of Cuernavaca, in pre-Columbian times it was an area of coniferous woodland.

## History of the site

The Morelos Valley was settled from about 2000 BC. During the Classic Period, Teopanzolco came under the influence of the great metropolis of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico. By the Postclassic, various Nahua groups had moved into the *Altiplano*; the Tlahuicas founded nearby Cuauhnahuac (Cuernavaca) and Teopanzolco itself. They were conquered in 1427 AD by the Aztec emperor Moctezuma Ilhuicamina, after which they were integrated into the Aztec Empire and were obliged to pay tribute and participate in Aztec military campaigns. The prehispanic history of Teopanzolco was brought to a close by the Spanish Conquest in 1521, at which time the Tlahuicas were still living in the area and paying tribute to the Aztecs.

Teopanzolco was probably the original centre of the city of Cuauhnahuac during the Early Aztec period (AD 11501350) before the ceremonial centre was moved to a more defensible location, now the centre of the modern city of Cuernavaca. After the relocation of the ceremonial centre no new construction was undertaken at Teopanzolco.

The site of Teopanzolco was rediscovered in the 1910s, during the Mexican Revolution, when the revolutionary forces of Emiliano Zapata installed an artillery emplacement upon the Great Platform (Building 1) in order to shell federalist positions in the centre of Cuernavaca. The resulting cannon fire shook loose the soil, revealing the stonework below.

The modern history of Teopanzolco begins with the first excavations at the site in 1921, no further investigations took place until it was excavated in 1956-7 by Mexican archaeologists Román Piña Chan and Eduardo Noguera, who investigated the temple of Ehecatl and established a ceramic sequence for the site. Further archaeological investigations took place in 1968-9 (by Angulo Villaseñor) and in 1980 (by Wanda Tomassi). INAH has undertaken maintenance and minor excavations annually since 1985.

The earthquake of September 19, 2017, damaged the main temple. As archaeologists began repairing the damage, they were surprised to find a smaller, previously unknown temple inside, which presumably was dedicated to Tlaloc, the god of rain. Archaeologists discovered stucco-covered walls, a bench, and a pilaster, which may date to the Posclásico Medio period (A.D. 1150-1200). While more studies need to be undertaken to prove this theory, this would mean that the temple of Teopanzolco predates the Templo Mayor in Mexico City.

## The site

Only the ceremonial centre of Teopanzolco has been preserved. The residential areas of the prehispanic city lie beneath the modern development of Vista Hermosa, for this reason the actual size of the city is unknown. The surviving remains were built using local basalt. Although nothing survives of the original finishing, the buildings were presumably covered with painted plaster, as at other archaeological sites. Although the site had been developed by both the Tlahuicas and the Aztecs, the dominant architectural style and the majority of the excavated ceramics are Aztec in origin.

* **Great Platform** or **Building 1**. This is the principal building within the archaeological zone. It consists of a westward facing rectangular pyramidal base that once supported twin temples; the northernmost was dedicated to Tlaloc, the Aztec rain god, while the southern temple was dedicated to Huitzilopochtli, the god of war. Two parallel stairways give access to the temples. This style of double temple is Aztec in origin. Two phases of building are evident, the second practically identical to the first and built on top of it. Only the platform survives from the second phase but sections of the walls of the twin temples survive from the earlier building phase. The later phase of construction appears to have been interrupted by the Spanish Conquest.
* **Temple of Tlaloc** This consisted of a small enclosure surrounded by four pillars that presumably supported a wide roof that extended beyond the temple enclosure itself. It is situated upon the Great Platform.
* **Temple of Huitzilopochtli** This was larger than the temple of Tlaloc and consisted of two rooms, one lying behind the other and accessed through it. The remains of an altar have been found in this inner sanctum . It is situated upon the Great Platform.
* **Building 2** This is a low, irregular platform with a wide north-facing stairway.
* **Building 3** is a small rectangular platform with an east-facing stairway.
* **Building 4** is a wide but shallow rectangular platform with a borderless east-facing stairway. A pit was found in this structure, which contained a great number of human bones together with two obsidian knives. The bones belonged to 35 individuals of both sexes who had been sacrificed and dismembered.
* **Building 5** is another small rectangular platform with an east-facing stairway.
* **Building 6** is a small rectangular platform with an east-facing stairway.
* **Building 7** is a small, low circular platform with an east-facing stairway. It was a shrine dedicated to Ehecatl, the Aztec god of wind, one of the manifestations of Quetzalcoatl. A sunken chamber was found inside this platform, it was filled with offerings of ceramic vessels and human skulls, probably belonging to sacrificial victims.
* **Building 8** is a very small rectangular platform with an east-facing stairway.
* **Building 9** is another low circular platform. It was another shrine to Ehecatl, slightly larger than the similar Building 7.
* **Building 10** is a long rectangular platform running east–west, located behind buildings 3 to 6. It has two stairways facing east and another facing to the west. It appears to have been expanded several times during its history.
* **Building 12** is a large platform aligned with the Great Platform, lying directly to the north. It has three west-facing stairways.
* **Temple of Tezcatlipoca** or **Building 13** is directly behind (i.e. to the east of) the Great Platform. Its lower level had a double stairway that faced towards the latter. The upper level has a single, wide stairway. The combination of a cannonball strike during the Mexican Revolution and a large looters' pit has inflicted extensive damage upon the remains.
* **Platform 15** was excavated in 1997. It is located at the southern edge of the archaeological site. It was a large platform in a poor state of preservation. Below the platform were found the remains of a residence whose inhabitants manufactured dyes, as evidenced by the discovery of hearths with tools and traces of iron oxide-based pigments. The residence was demolished in order to build the overlying platform, leaving only the foundations containing domestic human burials.

The site is in the care of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (*National Institute of Anthropology and History*) and is open to the public.

Independent laboratory results (Nova Biologicals, Inc - Conroe, Texas) and television commercials for the product claim it will keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer, (some items for up to 21 days) by absorbing ethylene gas. The bags' ethylene absorption is intended to slow the ripening process and preserve the produces' shelf life. The product's packaging acknowledges that certain vegetables and fruits are preserved better in the bags than others. For example, strawberries are only advertised to last about nine days in a Green Bag compared to over three weeks for cabbage or carrots. The bags can be used to keep cut flowers fresh longer as well.

## Effectiveness

Several television news programs have broadcast consumer affairs segments on the product. KDKA-TV Channel 2 News in Pittsburgh featured Debbie Meyer GreenBags® in its recurring "Does It Really Do That?" segment and discovered mostly positive results. KDKA reported that "strawberries, bananas and tomatoes" spoiled in standard storage faster than in the GreenBags®, while the GreenBags® did keep carrots and green peppers "much fresher much longer".

WPVI-TV in Philadelphia also reported on the bags. The station had a viewer keep a log for thirty days. They tested Debbie Meyer GreenBags® against Ziploc Storage Bags, Ziploc Storage Containers, and the food items' original packaging. Most items did better in the GreenBags®.

Another station, KTVI-TV in St. Louis, has given Green Bags a very positive review. They tested the bags for their Deal or Dud segment and found the bags kept both fruits and vegetables fresher. They called the bags “a Deal”.

## Plot

### *Deep Sleep* (2012)

Interested in lucid dreams, an unseen researcher constructs a world in his mind to explore. However, the world in his dream quickly turns nightmarish, and the researcher becomes trapped. Prompted by a phone call from an unknown source, the researcher must "wake up" and to look for a lighthouse that somehow leads to freedom. Shadowy figures haunt this world and attempt to capture him. In order to advance, he unlocks doors through the building they're trapped in. A dark room in a long hallway contains multiple news clippings informing the researcher of mysterious events that imply he's far from the only one to have ventured into this nightmare realm. Near the end of the game, shadowy figures start to appear and will advance towards the researcher. He has to escape the figures, as they cannot be killed. The researcher eventually reaches the lighthouse, but is cornered by the shadow figures after restoring the lighthouse lamp. He then turns the light on the shadows, seemingly banishing them. The game then ends, as the player "wakes up". However, the researcher remains curious about the Shadow Figures and declares that he wants to visit them again.

### *Deeper Sleep* (2013)

Following the events of the previous game, the protagonist develops an obsession over the previously-encountered shadow people, and begins to worry that they may be real entities. While seeking information at the library, the world begins to degrade around them, revealing that they have already returned to the dream world. Much of the gameplay is similar to that of the previous game, as the player navigates various rooms and buildings and utilizes various items to advance through the game. A torn book page, slowly reassembled over the course of the game, give more insight into the nature of the Shadow People, which are described as ancient otherworldly entities that exist only in the dream world and desire to escape into the real world by possessing the uninhabited bodies of people stuck in comas or lucid dreams. Such people who enter this realm this way are referred to as Travelers. Another Traveler can be encountered mid-way through the adventure, and is revealed to be the source of the mysterious phone call from the first game. They explain that the protagonist is a fool for returning and informs him that he has descended too far down to re-ascend like last time, and must hit the bottom in order to "bounce" back to the waking realm. Towards the end of the game, the player descends down a water well and, trapped by Shadow People above him, enters a tunnel. He encounters two eye-like orbs of light in the darkness in the tunnel. The game then ends, and a newspaper article is shown, revealing that a young boy named Cody (whom the player had previously given a tiger plushie) had baffled doctors by awakening from a three-month coma, indicating that the player's action in the dream world can have consequences in the real world.

### *Deepest Sleep* (2014)

Picking up at a different point in time from the previous game, the player awakens in their bed, immobile, and sees a shadowy figure in their room, which briefly attacks before vanishing. The player then fully "awakens" and exits their room, only to discover that they are still in the dream world and resume their attempts at escaping. After finding various items and proceeding through various rooms, the player enters a series of underground sewers and tunnels, inhabited by massive dream world predators known as "bottom feeders" that the player must evade. Upon escaping the sewer system, the player enters a room explored in a previous game, where they discover that their uninhabited body had become possessed when they descended into the well, and they are now a Shadow Person themselves. Upon facing this realization, the player encounters another Traveler through the dream realm, who begins to flee. The player is then given the option to either let the Traveler escape unharmed and remain trapped in the dream realm, or possess the Traveler's body and leave them doomed as a Shadow Person. It is heavily implied that this person is in fact the same person as the protagonist in the first game, and later games developed by Sriptwelder would suggest that this Traveler is the same person but from a parallel universe.

### *Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken* (2024)

Amy’s brother is dead. She hadn't even seen him in years. Thomas has always been a little eccentric. Obsessed with lucid dreaming and the concept of other worlds. All a little too fantastical for a small town vet like Amy herself. But then Amy comes across his journals. And what at first seems like the ramblings of a troubled mind slowly begin to seem more and more plausible. Maybe her brother was right about everything. And maybe, just maybe… he isn’t actually dead. The game will launch in 2024.

## Reception

*Deep Sleep* received mostly positive reviews. Adam Smith of *Rock, Paper, Shotgun* wrote that although the game has a minimalist story, it "relies on mood rather than jump scares to unsettle". Cassandra Khaw of Indiegames.com called it "creepy without being overdone". Steve Brown of Adventure Gamers called it "a truly disturbing experience".

Both sequels received similarly positive reception, with Jay Is Games calling *Deeper Sleep* a "chilling, wonderfully creepy game that will make the hair on your arms stand on end, and you'll wind up eager for more" and *PC Gamer* including *Deepest Sleep* in its "best free games of the week" for August 2, 2014.

title: Territorial Air Force (New Zealand)

abstract: The Territorial Air Force, or TAF, is a reserve air force that operates in New Zealand. The service traces its lineage back to a 1919 report that proposed an air force for the country manned by part-time volunteers, with the first recruits arriving in 1923. However, it was not until 1930 that the Territorial Air Force was formally constituted. The pilots had all previously served with the Royal Air Force, many in the First World War. Structurally, the force consisted of a wing of four squadrons, each allocated to one of the major cities of the country, with major sites at Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington. The Territorial Air Force suffered from a lack of equipment, particularly aircraft, throughout its existence. Initially, it relied on aircraft operated by the New Zealand Permanent Air Force, including obsolete examples that had been provided as part of the Imperial Gift, until a batch of second-hand Blackburn Baffin were purchased to provide both training and combat service. The Territorial Air Force was absorbed into the Royal New Zealand Air Force with the start of the Second World War. At the end of the war, an expanded network was originally envisaged, but the revived version of 1948 retained its structure of four squadrons. The TAF's flying squadron lasted only another nine years before the force was reduced to providing non-flying personnel like air traffic controllers and band members.

The TAF's flying squadron lasted only another nine years before the force was reduced to providing non-flying personnel like air traffic controllers and band members.

## History

The roots of the New Zealand Territorial Air Force lay with a report written by Group Captain Bettington of the Royal Air Force written in June 1919. The report was pessimistic about the possibility of a long-lasting peace after the Armistice of 11 November 1918, despite the imminent Treaty of Versailles. It envisaged a Territorial Air Force of 174 officers and 1,060 other ranks, to be built up over eight years. The force was to consist of volunteers who would work part-time in the Territorial Air Force, mirroring the existing Territorial Force of the New Zealand Military Forces, supported by a smaller nucleus of full-time officers who would form the complementary New Zealand Permanent Air Force. However, it was not until 1923 that the first 72 officers were recruited. All had previously served in the First World War with the Royal Air Force and started to receive their refresher training in 1924. By 1927, this had increased to 101. However, insufficient available aircraft meant that actual flying time was limited and within two years the force had diminished to nonviable levels.

### Initial incarnation

What was required was a more formal structure and, in August 1930, the Territorial Air Force, or TAF, was formed, based on squadrons of aircraft led by permanent staff. It was not until 1934 that the first aircraft dedicated to the Territorial Air Force were made available, initially transferred from New Zealand Permanent Air Force stocks. It was also in 1934 that the Permanent Air Force was renamed the Royal New Zealand Air Force or RNZAF, although the TAF remained in the New Zealand Air Force. Despite this, the TAF remained essentially a paper force until the arrival of twelve second-hand aircraft from Britain in 1937. These aircraft were based at the aerodrome outside Wellington, and were accompanied by an additional three that acted as spares. The choice of second-hand examples was for financial prudence, although low hour airframes were chosen to ensure the aircraft could operate for a reasonable time in service.

Expansion then was rapid. In the run up to the Second World War, the Air Board utilised the Territorial Air Force as a channel to increase the intake of pilots, particularly taking those already involved in civil aviation and members of aero clubs. An Auckland Territorial Squadron based at Hobsonville was founded in June 1938 and the first aircraft arrived at Wigram to serve the unit at Christchurch in the following September. By March 1939, the TAF included 18 officers and 96 airmen based in Wellington, 17 and 92 respectively in Christchurch and 20 and 77 based in Auckland. A fourth squadron, at Dunedin, was authorised at the same time but did not yet exist. With the declaration of war on Germany by the United Kingdom, which due to an existing treaty meant that New Zealand was also at war, the Territorial Air Force was fully mobilised. The Auckland and Christchurch squadrons started training almost immediately, the latter particularly including anti-submarine warfare in its regime. The Wellington Squadron moved to a new aerodrome at Blenheim three days later to do the same. Discussions were had in April 1939 about expanding this further. Instead, the units was absorbed into the regular air force, the RNZAF, and the personnel moved to active roles.

### Post-war revival

Towards the end of the war, the future of the Territorial Air Force was discussed and, in 1945, Air Commodore Arthur Neville produced a report recommending a large network of Territorial Air Force stations across the country. In December 1948, the TAF was revived with four squadrons of training aircraft, based at Auckland, Canterbury, Otago and Wellington. The squadrons were later equipped with fighters which also performed ground attack duties. In 1952, a fifth squadron, numbered six, was added, equipped for maritime reconnaissance. Increasing financial pressure, and the reduction in the need for defence spending, meant that the flying squadrons of the TAF were disbanded on 31 July 1957.

The Royal New Zealand Air Force retained a reserve unit after the TAF flying squadrons were disbanded. One key responsibility was to provide the musicians that formed the Air Force Band, a service that the TAF had performed since 1935 apart from a hiatus between 1940 and 1945. In 1982, the report of the Naval Board of the Defence Council for the period 1 April 1981 to 31 March 1982 wrote that "as in previous years the Territorial Air Force continued to provide for Air Traffic Control appointments and to man the RNZAF’s band." It also spoke of non-regular force squadrons that were to be established at each RNZAF base, which were never actually formed. In 1984, RNZAF reserve personnel included 201 territorial members, each of which served 7 weeks and 20 days a year. The band was one of only three military bands that were retained in 2012.

## Organisation

The New Zealand Territorial Air Force was constructed after the model of the Royal Air Force. The service consisted of squadrons each of twelve aircraft, subdivided into flights, supported by a pool of spares. As the primary role of the force was refresher training, an extensive programme was developed to provide a wide range of skills. Staff were given instruction in flying duties, theory of flight, rigging and aircraft-engines. They were also trained in the use of radios and weapons, including Lewis and Vickers machine guns.

The operational headquarters of the TAF was initially Wellington, although Christchurch soon became the hub for operations. The first recruits were trained alongside the Permanent Air Force, but part-time while travelling in from home. Ground crews who provided service or maintenance, non-commissioned officers and other ranks were trained independently at Christchurch Technical College.

As constituted in August 1930, the Territorial Air Force was a wing of four squadrons, each led by a permanent officer. A squadron was allocated to one of the major cities in New Zealand, with staff allocated generally to the one closest to where they lived. Ranks were changed to reflect practice in the Royal Air Force, rather than using the Army as a model. The initial strength was sixty officers from the previous incarnation and six cadets from aero clubs. Training took place at the Hobsonville and Wigram Aerodromes, although this was still restricted to pilots. By 1936, Hobsonville had sufficient facilities, including an engine repair shop, to provide the support needed by the fleet. Permanent maintenance staff, two non-commissioned officers, four fitters and four riggers, arrived in February 1939, shortly before the TAF was absorbed into the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Despite recommendations for further expansion, the 1948 incarnation of the Territorial Air Force was similarly based on a wing of initially four squadrons. Each squadron consisted of typically twelve aircraft.

title: Territorial Army and Militia Act 1921

abstract: The Territorial Army and Militia Act 1921 was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of the United Kingdom affecting the reserves of the British Army It modified the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907, renaming the existing Territorial Force as the "Territorial Army" and the Special Reserve as the "Militia", and updated or repealed a number of outdated regulations. The Act primarily served to rename the two organisations, which had been announced as a government policy the previous year, and ensure that all regulations and legislation referring to the two were updated. The renaming provoked some controversy and confusion, particularly as the original use of "Militia" had only been abolished fourteen years earlier, but it was argued that the role of a "Militia" was clearer and more readily understood by the public than that of a "Special Reserve". The Act also served to abolish the "legislative lumber", as it was termed by Viscount Peel, the previous Under-Secretary of State for War, of the old Militia and Yeomanry Acts which were still nominally in force. The eighteenth and nineteenth-century system of a locally conscripted Militia and volunteer Yeomanry had been effectively abolished by the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907, and all the organised units had been dissolved or transferred to the new system, but the legislative framework still existed. The Act thus abolished these powers as no longer necessary or appropriate.

title: Deer Island (Thousand Islands)

abstract: Deer Island is one of the American Thousand Islands. It lies between mainland Canada and United States, within the Saint Lawrence River, in the Town of Alexandria, close to Alexandria Bay, New York. It is owned entirely by the Russell Trust Association and is used as a Skull and Bones retreat. The island lies near Boldt Castle and can be seen up close from several Canadian and U.S. tour vessels that operate in the local waterways. The land on the island is densely overgrown, with a small lodge on the southern corner of the island. Skull and Bones doesn't own an opulent island hideaway like the one depicted in The Skulls. It does own an island on the St. Lawrence River — Deer Island, in Alexandria Bay. The forty-acre retreat is intended to give Bonesmen an opportunity to "get together and rekindle old friendships". A century ago the island sported tennis courts and its softball fields were surrounded by rhubarb plants and gooseberry bushes. Catboats waited on the lake. Stewards catered elegant meals. But although each new Skull and Bones member still visits Deer Island, the place leaves something to be desired. "Now it is just a bunch of burned-out stone buildings," a patriarch sighs. "It's basically ruins." Another Bonesman says that to call the island "rustic" would be to glorify it. "It's a dump, but it's beautiful." The fading of Deer Island exemplifies the dwindling finances of Skull and Bones, which can no longer claim the largest society endowment at Yale. Unlike members of other societies, Bonesmen pay no dues, though patriarchs receive an annual letter requesting a "voluntary contribution to the Russell Trust Association." In truth, Skull and Bones has never been wealthy.

The island is covered in indigenous trees, made up of mostly white pine, black oak, hemlock, and sugar maple — typical of the Canadian Shield — as is much of the surrounding area. There are several abandoned ruins located throughout the 50-acre (20 ha) island, now overgrown and barely visible beneath the growth.

## Summary

The game revolves around surviving a package holiday to the Spanish resort of Terrormolinos (a play on Torremolinos) and bringing back home ten snapshots. The user takes the role of the husband and goes away on a package holiday with wife Beryl and two children, Ken and Doreen.

## Suspension of operations

On February 5, 2015, A Dela Rosa Transit bus with license plate TYM-449 rammed and crushed a silver 2015 Toyota Vios before sandwiching it against another bus on EDSA in the Muñoz district of Quezon City. The driver of the Vios was trapped for a few minutes, but was later extricated by the MMDA and rushed to the hospital. Following the accident, the Land Transportation Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) ordered the preventive suspension of Dela Rosa Transit and ordered all of the company's drivers to undergo drug testing and road safety seminars within 15 days of the announcement. The bus driver involved in the accident fled the scene, but was later arrested and placed under police custody. Despite his claims that the brakes on the bus failed, he has been charged with reckless imprudence resulting in multiple injuries and damage to property. The driver has since been fired by Dela Rosa Transit.

title: Deborah Raney

abstract: Deborah Raney is an American writer.

# Deborah Raney

**Deborah Raney** is an American writer.

## Early life and education

Raney was born in Texas and grew up in Rice County, Kansas, the eldest of five children. Growing up on a farm in Kansas, Raney was inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder's popular *Little House on the Prairie* series. She graduated from Lyons High School in Lyons, Kansas and subsequently attended Emporia State University and later, Kansas State University. She and her husband, Ken, currently live in Missouri. They have four children.

## Career

After spending almost two decades as a stay-at-home mom to her and her husband's two sons and two daughters, Raney finally began to work on her first novel  a contemporary story that developed out of a discussion with her husband and teenage children on Alzheimer's disease. Drawing on her experiences working in a New York nursing home early in her marriage, she crafted a fictional account of one family's struggle with Alzheimer's disease. The award-winning book, *A Vow to Cherish*, published by Bethany House Publishers, would go on to win the 1997 Angel Award from Excellence in Media. It has since been translated into Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Dutch, and was also published in a hardcover large-print edition by Thorndike Press.

In 1999, the World Wide Pictures adapted the book into a screenplay that became a made-for-television movie and was aired in 200 major markets, with Raney and her husband attending the Hollywood premiere in June of that year. The movie was rebroadcast a second time in December 2004, and was subsequently released on video and DVD in seven languages. Ten years after its first publication, A Vow to Cherish was reissued in trade and mass market formats by Steeple Hill books.

After the releases of two additional novels, *In the Still of the Night* (Bethany House 1997) and *Kindred Bond* (Bethany House 1998), both of which are now out of print, Raney would pen *Beneath a Southern Sky* in 2001. The Waterbrook Press (Random House) novel won the 2001 Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award, the 2002 Inspirational Readers' Choice Award, Book of the Year for American Christian Romance Writers, and Romance Writers of America's 2002 RITA Award.

*After the Rains* was published by Waterbrook Press in 2002, a sequel to *Beneath a Southern Sky*, *After the Rains* also garnered numerous national recognitions. After the Rains also earned Book of the Year Honors (2003) from ACFW, was a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice nominee (2002) and named a Top 20 Fiction book (2002) by Christian Book Distributors.

Raney's next release, *Playing by Heart*, a novella, was published by Barbour Books in 2003. The plot relied on a bed-and-breakfast for its setting, and was conceived the previous autumn when Deborah retreated to write at such a B and B while on a tight deadline. *Playing by Heart* again earned ACFW Book of the Year honors (2004), was a 2004 Christy Award Finalist, and recognized with the National Readers Choice Award for Best Novella (2003).

Since then, Raney has written or contributed to more than forty other books, most notably her Clayburn Novels series and Hanover Falls Novels series from Howard, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, and her Chicory Inn Novels series from Abingdon Press. She served on the executive board of the 2600-member American Christian Fiction Writers for 18 years, and has been on faculty at the organization's annual writers conference since 2001. She has also served on faculty at other writers conferences, including Christian Writers Guild Write for the Soul, Oregon Christian Writers Conference, Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference, Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference, Colorado Christian Writers Conference, Autumn in the Mountains Novelists Retreat, and others.

With her husband, Ken Raney, she reissued many of her early books through Raney Day Press, including *Beneath a Southern Sky*, *After the Rains*, *A Scarlet Cord*, *Because of the Rain*, *Above All Things*, *A Nest of Sparrows*, *A Scarlet Cord*, *The Face of the Earth*, *Insight*, *Over the Waters*, *A Vow to Cherish*, *Within This Circle*, among other works.

The album's cover art was designed by Karl Kotas and is a spoof of *Cheap Thrills* by Big Brother and the Holding Company.

## Production

The album's production was halted on 19 April 2011 when a recording session at Lords of Acid's Belgium-based recording studio was interrupted by a police raid. Neighbors had complained of "hedonistic chantings" coming from the studio. Khan and the studio staff were detained and questioned for three hours by the police. Following their release, police refused to release Khan's ID card to him until he agreed to submit to a drug test.

The album's production also took an unexpected turn during a May recording session when Khan's studio computer took on a life of its own and began writing its own music. Khan described the experience, stating "While working on a new Lords of Acid track tremendous fear shook my heart as I tried to edit a melody line on my cubase. All of a sudden it felt like the computer came to life, notes started to change position creating a new melody, completely different from the original one." He went on to say there was no way his computer could have been hacked as it was not connected to the Internet. This "ghost track" was turned into the song "Paranormal Energy".

Deep Chills is the first album to take to social media outlets asking fans what subject matter they wanted on the album. Fans were allowed to vote and name songs on polls through Facebook.
