# Minnesota State Highway 105

**Minnesota State Highway 105** (**MN 105**) is a 13.645-mile-long (21.959 km) highway in southeast Minnesota, which runs from Mitchell County Road S70 at the Iowa state line and continues north to its northern terminus at its interchange with Interstate Highway 90 outside Austin.

Highway 105 passes through the communities of Lyle Township, Austin Township, and the city of Austin.

## Route description

State Highway 105 serves as a northsouth route between the Iowa state line and the city of Austin.

The route is located in Mower County.

Highway 105 is also known as *12th Street SW* and *Oakland Avenue W* in the city of Austin.

The route parallels the Cedar River and U.S. Highway 218.

The route is legally defined as Route 199 in the Minnesota Statutes. It is not marked with this number.

## History

State Highway 105 was authorized on April 22, 1933.

The route was paved by 1940.

From 1934 to 1980, the northern terminus of Highway 105 was previously at old U.S. 16 / old *Minnesota 116* (Oakland Avenue) in Austin. *Minnesota 116* was turned back to city maintenance in 1980. The 1.6 mile connecting route of old *Minnesota 116* (Oakland Avenue) between Highway 105 at 12th Street and Interstate 90 on the western side of Austin was then added as an extension of *105* in 1980.

Highway 105 is currently a turnback candidate because of low traffic volume and it ends at a county road.

## Major intersections

The entire route is in Mower County.

title: HMPNGS Salamaua

abstract: HMPNGS Salamaua is a Balikpapan-class heavy landing craft operated by the Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF). Prior to 1974, the vessel was called HMAS Salamaua and was operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

text:
# HMPNGS Salamaua

**HMPNGS *Salamaua*** is a *Balikpapan*-class heavy landing craft operated by the Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF). Prior to 1974, the vessel was called **HMAS *Salamaua* (L 131)** and was operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

## Design and construction

The eight-vessel *Balikpapan* class was ordered as a locally manufactured replacement for the Australian Army's LSM-1-class landing ship medium and ALC 50 landing craft. They are 44.5 metres (146 ft) long, with a beam of 10.1 metres (33 ft), and a draught of 1.9 metres (6 ft 3 in). The landing craft have a standard displacement of 316 tons, with a full load displacement of 503 tons. They are propelled by two G.M. Detroit 6-71 diesel motors, providing 675 brake horsepower to the two propeller shafts, allowing the vessels to reach 9 knots (17 km/h; 10 mph). The standard ship's company is 13-strong. The *Balikpapan*s are equipped with a Decca RM 916 navigational radar, and fitted with two 7.62 millimetres (0.300 in) machine guns for self-defence.

The LCHs have a maximum payload of 180 tons; equivalent to 3 Leopard 1 tanks, 13 M113 armored personnel carriers 23 quarter-tonne trucks, or four LARC-V amphibious cargo vehicles. As a troop transport, a *Balikpapan*-class vessel can transport up to 400 soldiers between a larger amphibious ship and the shore, or embark 60 soldiers in six-berth caravans for longer voyages. The vessel's payload affects the range: at 175 tons of cargo, each vessel has a range of 1,300 nautical miles (2,400 km; 1,500 mi), which increases to 2,280 nautical miles (4,220 km; 2,620 mi) with a 150-ton payload, and 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km; 3,500 mi) when unladen. The flat, box-like keel causes the ships to roll considerably in other-than-calm conditions, limiting their ability to make long voyages.

*Salamaua* was laid down Walkers Limited at Maryborough, Queensland on 29 May 1972, launched on 27 July 1972, and commissioned into the RAN on 19 October 1973.

## Operational history

*Salamaua* was transferred to the Papua New Guinea Defence Force on 14 November 1974. She was in active service as of 2013. She was retired on June 19, 2020.

# National Association of Real Estate Brokers

The  **National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB)** is a real estate trade organisation that was established on July 29, 1947. NAREB was created by African-American real estate professionals as an alternative space for African-Americans who were racially and specifically excluded from the National Association of Realtors.

NAREB members are called *realtists* (rather than *realtors*) and include all professional disciplines within the real estate industry including residential and commercial real estate agents and brokers, loan officers, mortgage brokers, title companies, appraisers, insurance agents and developers.

NAREB is headquartered in Lanham, Maryland.

## History

NAREB was founded by twelve individuals in Tampa, FL, one woman and eleven men from seven states across the United States. NAREB held its first convention at the Convention Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., between July 19–20, 1948.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at the NAREB National Mid-Winter Conference that was held in February 1968, in San Francisco, California a few months before he was assassinated. During his speech, King talked about how a privately managed "Marshall Plan", similar to the one initiated in Europe following World War II, was needed to revitalize America's inner cities. King stated that in America's inner cities, a ten-billion dollar investment over ten years from the government would help attract or develop new businesses as well as maintain and improve existing businesses. In this revitalized urban economy, the employed inner city residents would become homeowners, he said, thus improving the social and economic climate of their communities.

## 2010s

In early August 2011, at its national convention in New Orleans, LA, NAREB announced an engagement with Wall Street investors to launch an $800 million Homeowner's Assurance Program (HAP) to address the effects of the housing mortgage crisis on African-Americans and other communities of color across the United States.

In March 2011, NAREB, along with two other organizations representing multicultural real estate professionals — the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) and the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) — convened at the Multicultural Real Estate & Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. to discuss regulatory and policy changes to preserve access to homeownership for people of color. As a result of that meeting the organizations issued a joint report entitled "The Five Point Plan: Refocusing the Future of Minority Homeownership."

In 2010, NAREB announced the formation of two partnerships with organizations focused on addressing the needs of communities of people of color. In July, NAREB partnered with Integrated Mortgage Solutions (IMS), the only woman-owned collateral protection firm offering resources for the mortgage servicing sector. Additionally, NAREB announced its partnership with PartnerFirst, LLC, a provider of resources to mortgage services and outsourcers, creating a certified, nationwide, and multicultural short sale agent network to help communities of color across the United States avoid foreclosure.

In April 2015, Antoine M. Thompson became the National Executive Director of NAREB.

## Organization

NAREB's 2023-2025 leadership includes Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose, President; Ashley Thomas III, First Vice President; Danny Felton, Sr., Second Vice President; Courtney Jones, Third Vice President, Kathy Mann, Treasurer; Booker Pickett, Sr., Assistant Treasurer; Stacey Carter, Secretary; Ketrina Kier, Asst. Secretary, Felica Guidry, Chaplain, Monroe Wooten, Parliamentarian, and C. Renee Wilson, Executive Director.

Over its 69-year history, two women have led the organization as President: Evelyn A. Reeves and Maria Kong. In 2005, Catherine Dorsey was named co-chairman of the NAREB. She was the first woman named to the post. The current chairman and vice-chairman of the Board are Robert Hughes and Michelle Callaway, respectively.

NAREB, over the years, has operated mainly as a member-managed organization. However, in 2001, Lee Bowman became the official executive director of NAREB, ultimately, serving in the role of the organization's Executive Consultant, until 2004. He also had been the 2000 President and CEO of Lee Bowman & Associates, a Baltimore community development and finance consulting company. Prior to joining NAREB, Bowman served for six years as Mid-Atlantic Regional Director; Director of Housing and Community Development at Fannie Mae.

Brenda Brown became the first woman to serve as the Executive Consultant for NAREB. Previously, at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), Brown developed a comprehensive diversity program based on former U.S. President Bill Clinton's initiative on race called One America Initiative.

## Affiliates

NAREB's affiliates consist of the following:

* National Society of Real Estate Appraisers
* Commercial Industrial Division
* National Investment Division
* United Developers Council
* Real Estate Management Brokers Institute
* Young Realtists Division
* Sales Division
* Women's Council of NAREB
* Home Ownership Counselors
* Construction Division

## Women’s Council of NAREB

The Women's Council of NAREB, one of NAREB's ten affiliate organizations, is a nonprofit organization that focuses on community grassroots. Founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1971, officers and bylaws were established and Laura Seale became the first president of the Women's Council. It has over 18 chapters nationwide and women comprise 53 percent of the NAREB's membership, with participation in all divisions and aspects of the organization.


title: Ore concentrate

abstract: Ore concentrate, dressed ore or simply concentrate is the product generally produced by metal ore mines. The raw ore is usually ground finely in various comminution operations and gangue (waste) is removed, thus concentrating the metal component. The concentrate is then transported to various physical or chemical processes called hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy smelters, and electrometallurgy where it is used to produce useful metals. Ore concentrates are classified as a hazardous cargo for shipping by the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code, which is part of the SOLAS Convention, due to their tendency under certain conditions, to liquefy, which may affect the stability of the ship due to the free surface effect potentially causing a ship to capsize. Special measures are required by the code in order to safely transport concentrates.

# Gig in the Sky

**Gig in the Sky** was a record-breaking concert performed by the British band Jamiroquai on a private Boeing 757 during February 2007. The concert was organised and promoted by Sony Ericsson for the band's compilation album *High Times: Singles 1992–2006*.

## Concert

The Gig in the Sky concert began as a competition held by Sony Ericsson that accepted 200 winners onto a private jet to see Jamiroquai play live. The jet was a modified Boeing 757 that contained altered lighting, staging and space for the band. Jamiroquai's unofficial logo, the Buffalo Man, was painted on the exterior.

The Gig in the Sky commenced on 27 February 2007, when the flight took off at 4:00 am; it was scheduled to fly from Munich to Athens. Midway through the flight, at an altitude of 35,000 feet, the concert commenced, with Jamiroquai playing five songs, including two new songs from their compilation album *High Times: Singles 1992–2006*, released in November the previous year.

After touchdown, passengers were invited to attend an after-party held at a nearby hotel in Athens before returning home.

## Records

As part of the concert's promotion by Sony Ericsson, Jamiroquai additionally aimed to qualify for several unique Guinness World Records. During the concert, an adjudicator from Guinness World Records was present on the plane in order to present the records to Jay Kay of Jamiroquai at the end of the performance.

The band broke six records, including the highest and fastest concert, recording, and gig in a plane. These were not the first records received by the band—Jamiroquai also held the record for the greatest-selling funk album of all time, *Travelling Without Moving*.

Since then, Black Eyed Peas took the world record for highest concert in an aircraft, at 41,000 ft on 9 September 2009, in conjunction with the world's highest recorded track. The event was named "Mile High Karaoke" and was awarded the Guinness World Record certificate. Since then, the altitude records have been beaten further by English pop/rock artist James Blunt in 2010, who performed a concert at the altitude of 42,080 feet, and in 2013 by Kim Wilde and Tony Hadley at 43,000 ft, where the record stands today. Jamiroquai still holds the record for the highest recording and fastest concert.

# HMOX2

**Heme oxygenase 2** is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the *HMOX2* gene.

## Function

Heme oxygenase, an essential enzyme in heme catabolism, cleaves heme to form biliverdin, which is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase, and carbon monoxide, a putative neurotransmitter. Heme oxygenase activity is induced by its substrate heme and by various nonheme substances. Heme oxygenase occurs as 2 isozymes, an inducible heme oxygenase-1 and a constitutive heme oxygenase-2. HMOX1 and HMOX2 (this enzyme) belong to the heme oxygenase family.

# Hammel

**Hammel** is a town in central Denmark with a population of 7,215 (1 January 2024), and a former railway town at the Aarhus-Hammel-Thorsø railroad which was closed in 1956. The town is located in Favrskov municipality in Jutland. Until 1 January 2007 it was also the site of the municipal council of the now former Hammel Municipality.

## History

Hammel first saw significant settlement in the 13th century. The town was recorded as "Hamel" in 1479 and "Hammell" in 1596. The etymology of the town's name is believed to derive from the old Danish term "hamal", meaning "hill".

Hammel was not significantly larger than the other settlements in the area until the 1860s. In the first half of the 19th century, the village had about 11 farms and 40 houses which belonged to the count of Frijsenborg. Its expansion was the result of several initiatives taken by the count, who sought to transform the village into a market-town. Through his influence, the local court building for the judicial district of Frijsenborg-Favrskov was established in the town in 1837. By 1900, a prison, pharmacy, hotel, post office, technical school, primary school, hospital school and industrial factories had opened in the town.

By 1902, the town had a population of over 1,200. That year, Hammel station was designed by architect Heinrich Wenck and opened as the terminus of the Hammel-Aarhus Railway. The rail line was extended in 1914 to Thorsø, though the number of passengers traveling from Thorsø to Hammel was never profitable. Nevertheless, the railway connection in Hammel turned it into a railway town, and its population expanded. By 1916 Hammel had a population of 1,513, and by 1955 had 2,282. The entire railway line closed in 1956 and parts have since been preserved as a walking path. Wenck's original station building still stands at Torvegade 9.

For much of its history, Hammel was a parish within the jurisdiction of Gjern Herred. Following the 1970 Danish Municipal Reform the town beceame the seat of Hammel Municipality. The municipality was dissolved in the municipal reform of 2007, and today Hammel lies with Favrskov Municipality.

## Religion

Hammel Church was originally constructed in the romanesque style c. 1100. Its nave and part of the choir date to the 12th century, while the tower was added in the 17th and altered in the 19th century. In 1558, the king ordered that the nearby Jernit Church be demolished and its possessions be transferred to Hammel, thus expanding the size of Hammel's parish. Today, the church is considered a road church.

# National Maritime Museum Cornwall

The **National Maritime Museum, Cornwall** is located in a harbourside building at Falmouth in Cornwall, England. The building was designed by architect M. J. Long, following an architectural design competition managed by RIBA Competitions.

The museum grew out of the FIMI (Falmouth International Maritime Initiative) partnership which was created in 1992 and was the result of collaboration between the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich and the former Cornwall Maritime Museum in Falmouth. It opened in February 2003. It is an independent charitable trust and, unlike other national museums, receives no direct government support.

Its mission is to promote an understanding of boats and their place in people's lives, and of the maritime heritage of Cornwall. It does this by presenting the story of the sea, boats and the maritime history of Cornwall. It maintains the **National Small Boats Register** (NSBR).

## Boats

The Museum manages the National Small Boat Collection, which came from the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, in addition to its own collection of Cornish and other boats. Famous boats on show in its collection include:

* *Waterlily*, a Thames steam boat built by Thornycrofts in 1866
* *Fricka*, a gentleman's day sailor built by William Fife
* Champions like the *Ventnor* planing hydrofoil; the Flying Dutchman *Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious* (*Superdocious* for short) in which Rodney Pattisson won a gold medal at the Mexico Olympics; *Rita*, the Finn in which Ben Ainslie won Olympic gold medals in 2004, 2008, and 2012; and "Defender II"
* *Thunder and Lightning* the International 14 which was the first boat to use a trapeze competitively
* Early examples of popular sailing dinghies like Mirror No.1, Firefly No.1 and Dart No. 1
* *Curlew*, the Falmouth Quay Punt in which Tim and Pauline Carr sailed to the Antarctic
* *Britannia* rowboat, in which John Fairfax rowed across the Atlantic in 1969
* *Wanderer-W48*, a Wayfarer (dinghy), in which Frank Dye sailed to Iceland and to Norway from Scotland (surviving four capsizes and a broken mast during a Force 9 storm) \[Ref-7\].

The museum is the country's premier museum for boats and maintains the National Small Boat Register (NSBR) of small boats (under 33-foot) and invites owners of historic craft to register them.

## Cornwall's maritime history

Three galleries are devoted to the maritime history of Cornwall. These cover topics such as Cornish fishing, trading, boatbuilding, wrecks and emigration.

The Falmouth gallery also tells the story of:

* The life of Falmouth in the late 19th century when "to Falmouth for Orders" was a familiar instruction to ships' captains and the harbour was filled with vessels returning to Europe from around the world; and
* The 20th century when Falmouth was a jumping off point for D-Day and the first and last port of call for sailors like Robin Knox-Johnston, the first man to sail solo around the world, and Ellen MacArthur who broke the solo round the world sailing record having left from, and returned to the museum

## Main galleries

* The Main Hall – containing the Survival Zone

Kassel cups are quite similar to Band cups, but shallower and usually rather small. The lip and body of the vase are usually decorated with simple band patterns.

text:
# Tiburtia gens

The **gens Tiburtia** was a minor plebeian family at ancient Rome. Hardly any members of this gens are mentioned in history, but a large number are known from inscriptions.

## Origin

The nomen *Tiburtius* is derived from the earlier cognomen *Tiburtes*, referring to an inhabitant of the ancient city of Tibur in Latium. This indicates that the Tiburtii claimed descent from a Tiburtine family that settled at Rome, or else obtained Roman citizenship at an early period. Chase classifies the nomen among those gentilicia that either originated at Rome, or which cannot be shown to have come from anywhere else.

## Praenomina

The main praenomina of the Tiburtii were *Lucius* and *Gaius*, the two most common names at all periods of Roman history. While a number of other common praenomina are found amongst the inscriptions of this gens, the only ones that appear more than once are *Aulus*, *Marcus*, *Publius*, and *Titus*.

## Members

*This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.* * Aulus Tiburtius A. l. Timiso, one of the leaders of the ironworkers' guild at Praeneste in Latium during the late second century or the early first century BC.
* Tiburtia Posilla, buried at Tarquinii in Etruria, aged sixty, in a tomb dating from the first quarter of the first century BC.
* Gaius Tiburtius C. l. Flaccus, a freedman named in an inscription from Casilinum in Campania, dating from the first half of the first century BC.
* Lucius Tiburtius, a centurion who was present at a parley along the Apsus between the forces of Caesar and Pompeius during the Civil War. As Titus Labienus conferred with Publius Vatinius, the soldiers of each side began fighting, and Tiburtius was among the officers who were wounded.
* Quintus Tiburtius Q. l. Menolavus, a freedman buried at Casilinum, in a tomb dating from the late first century BC.
* Tiburtia T. l., buried at Baeterrae in Gallia Narbonensis, in a tomb dating from the first half of the first century.
* Tiburtia Ɔ. l. Chelido, a freedwoman buried at Rome in the first half of the first century.
* Gaius Tiburtius M. f. Clemens, buried at Ateste in Venetia and Histria, in a tomb built by his sister, Tiburtia Quarta, dating from the first half of the first century.
* Tiburtia M. f. Quarta, dedicated a tomb at Ateste, dating from the first half of the first century, for her brother, Gaius Tiburtius Clemens.
* Publius Tiburtius Buttus, one of the principals in an auction at Pompeii in AD 55.

# Heartland Food Corporation

**Heartland Foods** is one of the largest franchises of Burger King. The Downers Grove, Illinois-based company owns and operates over 225 restaurants in six US States.

## History

By 2001 and nearly eighteen years of stagnant growth, many of Burger King's franchises were in some sort of financial distress. The lack of growth severely impacted BKC's largest franchise, the nearly 400 store AmeriKing; by 2001 the company, which until this point had been struggling under a nearly $300 million debt load and been shedding store across the US, was forced to enter Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

While several individual BK franchisees also took advantage of the AmeriKing failure and the resulting sale of its assets, Miami-based franchisee Al Cabrera and cofounder Joseph DaGrosa purchased the largest chunk of stores, 130 locations primarily in Chicago and the Upper Midwest, from the failed company for a bargain basement price of $16 million, or approximately 88% of their original value. Taking these stores, he and his partners created a new company called Core Value Partners to renovate and update the locations which had deteriorated during Ameriking's decline. During this time, the company was renamed Heartland Foods and it purchased 120 additional stores from other financially distressed owners and completely revamped them as well. The resulting purchases made Mr. Cabrerra Burger King's largest minority franchisee and Heartland one of BKC's top franchisee groups. By 2006, the company was valued at over $150 million, and was sold to New York-based GSO Capital Partners.

title: Werde munter, mein Gemüte

abstract: "Werde munter, mein Gemüte" is a Lutheran evening hymn by Johann Rist, consisting of twelve stanzas with eight lines each, first printed in 1642. The hymn has been translated to English and appears in 67 hymnals.

text:
# Werde munter, mein Gemüte

"**Werde munter, mein Gemüte**" (Become cheerful, my mind) is a Lutheran evening hymn by Johann Rist, consisting of twelve stanzas with eight lines each, first printed in 1642. The hymn has been translated to English and appears in 67 hymnals.

## History

The hymn was first published as "Dritte Zehen" (third ten) of Rist's *Himlische Lieder* (Heavenly songs) in Lüneburg in 1642. It was subtitled "A Christian evening hymn, with which to commit oneself to the protection of the Most High". Johann Crüger included it in the 1656 edition of his Praxis pietatis melica.

## Melody and musical settings

The hymn tune, Zahn No. 6551, is by Johann Schop, who often collaborated with Rist. Georg Philipp Telemann composed a cantata *Werde munter, mein Gemüte*, TWV 1:1576, for choir, strings and continuo before 1760. Johann Sebastian Bach used the hymn's sixth stanza, "Bin ich gleich von dir gewichen", in his cantata *Ich armer Mensch, ich Sündenknecht*, BWV 55, and in his *St Matthew Passion*. Max Reger composed a chorale prelude as No. 48 of his 52 Chorale Preludes, Op. 67 in 1902, and Sigfrid Karg-Elert wrote an improvisation as part of his 66 Chorale improvisations for organ, Op. 65.

The same hymn melody was assigned to the song "Jesu, meiner Seelen Wonne" written by Martin Janus (or Jahn). Bach used it in the Leipzig version of his cantata *Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben*, BWV 147. It became famous as the arrangement *Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring*.

The tune for "Werde munter" was also paired with "Like the Golden Sun Ascending," which was translated from selected stanzas of Thomas Kingo's 1689 "Som den gyldne Sol frembryder."

## Translations

Translations to English were made by J. C. Jacobi, who published "Rouse thy self my Soul and gather" in his *Psalmodia Germanica* in 1722, and by Catherine Winkworth, who published "Sink not yet, my soul, to slumber" in 1858 in her *Lyra Germanica*. The song appeared in 67 hymnals.

# National Maritime Museum of China

The **National Maritime Museum of China** (Chinese: 国家海洋博物馆) is located in the Binhai Tourism Zone of the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city in Binhai New Area, Tianjin, China, at the intersection of Rongsheng Road and Haixuan Road. It is a national comprehensive maritime museum jointly established and managed by the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China and the Tianjin Municipal People's Government. It is a public cultural institution under the Binhai New Area People's Government, integrating collection, display, research, and education. The museum opened to the public for trial operation on May 1, 2019, and is the largest maritime museum in the world.

## Background and site selection

In September 2007, over 30 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering jointly wrote to the State Council, suggesting the construction of a modern comprehensive maritime museum commensurate with China's status as a major maritime nation. The proposal was approved by the State Council. As the first national maritime museum in China, the site selection for the National Maritime Museum was complex and cautious, with multiple demonstrations conducted by the State Oceanic Administration and other departments since 2008. In April 2008, the Tianjin Municipal Government established a leadership group to apply for the construction of the National Maritime Museum in Tianjin, with then-Mayor Huang Xingguo serving as the group leader.

In April 2010, the National Development and Reform Commission officially approved the site selection for the National Maritime Museum in the eastern coastal area of Binhai New Area, Tianjin, due to its "coastal proximity to the capital" and favorable construction and transportation conditions. The Tianjin Institute of Urban Planning and Design's Binhai Branch and the Tianjin Oceanic Administration collaborated with relevant departments to research major maritime museums worldwide and large specialized museums domestically to provide references for the site selection and construction of the National Maritime Museum in Binhai New Area, Tianjin. After determining the development model and construction scale, the site selection working group inspected four coastal functional areas under the jurisdiction of Binhai New Area: Nangang Industrial Zone, Lingang Industrial Zone, Haigang Logistics Zone, and Binhai Tourism Zone. The Binhai Tourism Zone was finally chosen as the most suitable site for the National Maritime Museum due to its project characteristics and its potential to form a marine-themed cluster with nearby attractions such as the Kiev Aircraft Carrier Theme Park, the Ancient Coast Shell Dike Site, and the Bohai Marine Monitoring Base. Within the Binhai Tourism Zone, the working group identified three potential sites: near the Ancient Shell Dike, east of the Bohai Marine Monitoring Base, and across from the core area of the Binhai Tourism Zone. The site across from the core area was ultimately selected.

## Construction

On May 17, 2011, the State Oceanic Administration's Education and Propaganda Center and the Tianjin Oceanic Administration signed an agreement to establish a coordination mechanism for the construction and management of the National Maritime Museum, committing to jointly coordinate the construction of the National Maritime Museum according to the requirements of the State Oceanic Administration and the Tianjin Municipal People's Government.

From November 2012 to February 2013, the National Maritime Museum conducted two global solicitations for architectural design plans. Six units, including GMP International Architecture Design Firm from Germany, Preston Scott Cohen Design Firm from the United States, EMBT Architecture Firm from Spain, KDG Architecture Design Firm from the United States, Waterman International Engineering Company from the United Kingdom, and South China University of Technology, entered the preliminary evaluation. In the second round, the design plan by Australian architect and chief designer of the Sydney Olympic Stadium, Philip Cox, was unanimously approved. Liu Jingliang, Honorary President of the Tianjin Institute of Architectural Design, served as the chief designer on the Chinese side. In 2013, the architectural plan for the National Maritime Museum won the 2013 World Architecture Award, 2013 World Cultural Building Award, and 2013 Best Competition Design Award at the World Architecture Festival held in Singapore.

On March 29, 2013, the Tianjin Municipal People's Government and the State Oceanic Administration decided to establish the National Maritime Museum Management Committee to coordinate and decide on major issues related to the construction and operation of the National Maritime Museum. On April 18, the site selection opinion for the National Maritime Museum project was approved by the Tianjin Planning Bureau.

In October 2014, the main building of the National Maritime Museum commenced construction. In February 2017, the main structure of the National Maritime Museum construction project was topped off. In December 2018, the construction project of the National Maritime Museum passed the final acceptance inspection.

## Exhibitions

The National Maritime Museum has six main exhibition areas, each with a specific theme: Marine Life, Marine Ecology, Marine Resources, Marine Transportation, Marine Culture, and Marine Science. The museum houses more than 50,000 exhibits, including numerous rare marine biological specimens and precious marine cultural relics. The exhibition area of the National Maritime Museum is approximately 23,000 square meters, divided into five halls: the Ancient Ocean Hall, the World Ocean Hall, the Chinese Ocean Hall, the Marine Hall, and the Future Ocean Hall. The museum integrates various display methods, including physical objects, models, charts, multimedia, and interactive exhibits, to showcase the vast and mysterious marine world to the public.

# Waheed Muzhda

**Ahmad Waheed Mozhdah** (1953 – 20 November 2019) was a senior Afghan political analyst, writer and a peace activist. He was also a poet and wrote several anti-Soviet poetry during the Soviet Afghan war. He was widely cited by various international newspapers for his views on Afghan conflict. During his career, Muzhda criticized both the Taliban and the Afghan government. Muzhda was praised as a probing intellectual by many journalists and scholars. He was assassinated on 20 November 2019 in Kabul. Several political observers and experts believe that Muzhda was assassinated for his views by pro-government groups as 'a part of campaign to silence people with different views'. Previously, he was reported to have been arrested by Afghan intelligence agency NDS.

His death drew widespread condemnation from prominent Afghan officials with many describing his death as a loss for Afghan nation. Former Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, termed his death as an attack on freedom of speech in Afghanistan.

## Early life

Muzhda was born in 1953 in Baghlan province. He completed his elementary education at Habibia High School in Kabul, and later earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Kabul University.

## Soviet-Afghan war

During the Soviet Afghan war, Muzhda was a part Afghan Mujahideen and wrote several anti-Soviet poetry. In 1989, *Time magazine reported that Muzhda was working as a translator for Dr Abdullah Azzam, a leader of Afghan Arabs—foreign fighters who had travelled to Afghanistan to help their fellow Muslims in opposition to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.*

After Taliban took control of Afghanistan, Muzhda worked at Taliban's Foreign Ministry. However, he was never a part of any Taliban religious militia. After the fall of Taliban in 2001, Muzhda continued to stay in Kabul and started working for the new Afghan government.

## Later career

In 2013, during an interview with German newspaper *Die Presse*, Muzhda said that Taliban and Iran had links with each other since 2009 and these links have been ignored by the European and US media. He stated that Iran was supporting Taliban because it wanted to get rid of United States presence in Afghanistan.

Following the killing of Osama bin Laden, Muzdha, while talking to Associated Press (AP), said: "I think now is an opportunity for the Taliban to end their relations with al-Qaeda." Muzdha insisted that the Taliban's ties to bin Laden had weakened prior to his death.

On 9 April 2012, Al Jazeera quoted Muzhda after former colleague Abdul Salam Zaeef fled Afghanistan for the United Arab Emirates. Zaeef, like Muzhda, had worked in the Taliban's Foreign Ministry, and had served as the Taliban's Ambassador to Pakistan. Zaeef was held in the controversial Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba. Following his release, he served as a key intermediary between his former colleagues within the Taliban and American peace negotiators and he had been the target of repeated night raids. Muzhda explained that many other former Guantanamo captives who had been the target of night raids had been killed, not captured, and that Zaeef feared that US special forces would kill him in a future raid if he didn't leave Afghanistan.

Muzhda was also working toward ending war in Afghanistan and was actively involved in peace process. Qazi Hafizurrahman Naqi, an Afghan political analyst and a religious scholar, described the role of Muzhda as 'critical for bringing peace in Afghanistan'. He stated that 'Muzhda murder was stab in the back for the peace process'.

## Assassination

On 20 November 2019, Waheed Muzhda was assassinated in Kabul by two gunmen on a motorcycle while he was on his way to the Mosque near a Russian embassy.

No group claimed responsibility for killing him. However, political observers and experts believe that the pro-government groups were behind the killing of Muzhda. They believe that Muzhda was targeted because of his views.

### Reaction

His killing drew widespread condemnation from prominent Afghan officials with many describing his death as "a loss for Afghan nation".

Former Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, condemned the killing of Muzhda and termed his murder as an "attack on civil liberties and freedom of speech in Afghanistan".

Omar Zakhilwal, a former Afghan envoy to Pakistan, also condemned the killing of Muzhda. He stated that "Muzhda killing is a part of an alarming trend of targeting individuals who work for peace and freedom of speech".

German ambassador to Afghanistan, Peter Prugel, also condemned the targeted assassination of Muzhda. He said that "dissenting voices and opinions must be heard and dealt with, not silenced".

Khairullah Shinwari, a political activist, said that "Afghanistan is not a good place for scholars. Anyone who talks about facts, gets killed. The freedom of speech in Afghanistan is just a slogan".

Abdul Karim Kuram, a former head of office at the Afghan presidential palace, insisted that "if this pattern continues, the funeral of the democracy will also be held, and the main responsibility for this will belong to the government."

Taliban also condemned the assassination of Muzhda and held Afghan intelligence agency, National Directorate of Security (NDS), responsible for the killing of Muzhda.

Muzhda's funeral took place on 21 November 2019 and was attended by Prominent figures of all backgrounds.

**Heartland Industrial Partners** was a private equity firm founded in 1999 focused on industry consolidation and growth capital investments in middle-market industrial companies.

The firm, which was based in Stamford, Connecticut, terminated its registration with the SEC in 2013.

## History

The firm was founded in 1999 by former Reagan budget director David Stockman, Timothy Leuliette and Daniel Tredwell In 2001, the firm completed fundraising for its first and only private equity fund with approximately $1.4 billion of investor commitments.

### Collins & Aikman

In 2005, it was reported that Stockman handed control of the fund, Heartland Industrial Partners, over to his partners following his resignation as chairman of Collins & Aikman, which was a major investment for the fund that ended in bankruptcy.

On March 26, 2007, federal prosecutors in Manhattan indicted Stockman in "a scheme ... to defraud Collins & Aikman's investors, banks and creditors by manipulating C&A's reported revenues and earnings." At the same time, the Securities and Exchange Commission brought civil charges against Stockman related to actions he took while CEO of Collins & Aikman. Stockman suffered a personal financial loss, estimated at $13 million, along with losses suffered by as many as 15,000 Collins & Aikman employees worldwide. Stockman said in a statement posted on his law firm's Web site that the company's collapse was the consequence of an industry melt-down, not fraud. In August 2008, a trial date was set but on January 9, 2009, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced that it did not intend to prosecute Stockman in this case.

Other investments in the Heartland portfolio included auto parts suppliers Metaldyne and TriMas as well as Springs Industries, a manufacturer of home furnishings.
