# Trump Oil Corporation

The **Trump Oil Corporation** was a Vancouver-based company owned by former US President Donald Trump during his business career.

## Background

The company was initially created on 31 August 1995 as Visioneering Corporation, then changed to Asiamerica Energy Corporation on 12 January 1996, Care Financial Corporation on 29 April 1996, and became Trump Oil Corporation on 15 May 1997.

In October 1996, the Trump Oil Corporation acquired Care Concepts, a Nevada company specialized in wheelchair-accessible minivans. In August 1997, Trump Oil Corporation abandoned a deal for sapphires, emeralds and gold in Madagascar. Patrick Leloup, the first person to obtain an emerald exploitation licence in Madagascar, was a consultant for the Trump Oil Corporation.

In February 1998, Trump Oil was preparing a takeover of Fenway Resources, after Donald Trump was introduced to Fenway by Ranbir "Ron" Singh Dhaliwa. The Vancouver Stock Exchange red-flagged the deal because of two controversial intermediaries, Lucky Janda and Gerry Sklar. The British Columbia Securities Commission provided the following information after investigating the Trump Oil Corporation: While the company was set up in Nevada in 1995, its headquarters and directors were all based in British Columbia. Before making an offer to purchase Fenway with Trump Oil shares in 1998, the commission identified a grey area between 1997 and 1998 where the value of the Trump Oil shares were inflated by way of unreported transfers and over-the-counter trades through the bulletin board of the NASD, which led to a market valuation of $32,593,814 as of 13 January 1998.  The Fenway deal was giving a pro forma financial stake of $14,423,790 to the Trump Oil Corporation in the Palawan exploitation rights held by Fenway.

In 1999, the Trump Oil Corporation reported $2,500 in sales, and around $20,000 in losses. The same year it acquired the Colorado-based company 20/20 Web Design. Another report states that the 20/20 Web Design company was based in Nevada. After the merger, Trump Oil Corporation changed its name to 20/20 Web Design and was merged with Colorado-based Multi-Source Capital Ltd., acquired in April 1999 by Stein's Holdings Inc.

**WORD-FM** (101.5 MHz) is a Christian talk radio station based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Owned by the Salem Media Group, the station broadcasts with an ERP of 43 kW. Its transmitter is located in Reserve Township, Pennsylvania.

## History

In Pittsburgh, WORD-FM was originally on the 104.7 frequency (now WPGB-FM). Salem Communications, which had formed in the early 1980s by Christian broadcasters Ed Atsinger and Stuart W. Epperson, had first made overtures to purchase WPIT AM/FM from Associated Communications back in the mid-80's, but the station had been sold to Boston-based Pyramid Broadcasting, which operated WPIT AM/FM under the name Kiss Limited Partnership, for a much higher price than what Salem was willing to pay.

Still recognizing the profit potential for Christian-formatted radio in Pittsburgh despite a competitor, Salem entered into an agreement with Pittsburgh-based Gateway Broadcasting Enterprises, which owned WYDD (now WPGB) and WKPA (now WMNY), both operating out of New Kensington, a suburb of Pittsburgh. The deal was signed in 1987, but due to legal complexities between the two companies, it would not be until January 1990 that the deal between Salem and Gateway was consummated.

Salem still had yet to obtain the contracts for the ministries that would provide the programming for the station. By the time of their takeover, WYDD had become Top 40 rocker WNRJ, which stayed around for about a year. Upon Salem's acquisition, WNRJ's format was immediately changed to beautiful music provided by Salt Lake City-based Bonneville Broadcasting and its airstaff laid off. The call letters were changed to WEZE-FM (the same calls as Salem's co-owned AM in Boston) and the station adopted the moniker "Easy 104.7".

WKPA, which operated independently of its FM sister since 1940, had its weekday programming substituted with a simulcast of WEZE-FM, but kept existing separate specialty programming on the weekends.

In August 1991, Salem announced that WEZE-FM would change to the heritage Christian-formatted radio formula that had become the staple of its other high-powered FM stations. Salem purchased the WORD call letters, which belonged to an AM station in Spartanburg, South Carolina, for $20,000. The format change took place in October, and 104.7 became WORD-FM.

In September 1991, Richard Rossi began broadcasting his nightly radio show *Rich Rossi Live* on Pittsburgh's WPIT-FM. The program created controversy when Rossi challenged the sale to Salem, calling Christian radio and other evangelical churches "whores" who sell out the gospel for money.

### Salem acquires WPIT AM/FM

In 1992, after a lengthy series of negotiations, the opportunity presented itself again for Salem to acquire WPIT AM/FM. New FCC rules governing ownership allowed Salem to hold more than two licenses simultaneously, and a deal was made for Salem to buy out its former rival and spin their existing stations off to new owners.

WKPA was spun off to Pentecostal Temple Development Corporation in November 1992 as a gift. PTDC was the business arm of Pentecostal Temple Church of God, pastored by former WPXI-TV reporter Dr. D. Loran Mann. WORD-FM 104.7 was also sold off to Entercom, Inc., which operated country music competitor WDSY-FM, and had been looking for an FM station for a duopoly property.

### WORD-FM merger with WPIT

The transaction took place in January 1993, and WORD-FM moved its current call letters and format to 101.5, which had been the FM partial simulcast of WPIT. Some of WPIT-FM's existing programming elements were retained, but much of the programming mirrored WORD-FM's original format that began on 104.7.

104.7 then came under the control of Entercom in an LMA (local marketing agreement) deal with Salem until it was purchased outright six months later. The new 104.7 was assigned the call letters WXRB and adopted the moniker "Rebel 104.7 Hit Country" after stunting for a brief period with a Classic Rock format and the name "U.S. 104.7".

WPIT, which had been running all ministry-based conservative programming all day, then began to run contemporary Christian music during the afternoon and evening hours to appease listeners who had grown accustomed to hearing CCM on WPIT-FM prior to the ownership change.

### WORD-FM today

WPIT, which for years had been co-located with WPIT-FM at Gateway Towers in downtown Pittsburgh, joined the new WORD-FM at its home at Seven Parkway Center in Greentree, located just off I-279 south of the Fort Pitt Tunnells. WORD-FM still maintains the ministries as the mainstay of its programming, but has in recent years added CCM music back into its programming.

Unlike many other major market radio stations, WORD-FM has a stable, secure staff, some of whom have been with the station since its format switch from beautiful music to Christian Talk. General Manager Chuck Gratner (also known in the 1960s and 1970s as West Coast DJ legend Chuck Roy) managed WORD-FM from its start-up until his retirement in 2014. Former WORD-FM sales manager Tom Lemmon was appointed to succeed Gratner. Kenny Woods, formerly mid-days at crosstown oldies WWSW, has been at the station since 2001.

## Weekend music

On weekends (Saturday and Sunday), WORD-FM plays Christian music during the early morning, afternoon, and evening on Saturdays, and during the early morning and afternoon on Sundays. Kenny Woods is the DJ during the afternoon and Chris Reynolds hosts the Pop Top 20 Countdown on Saturdays evenings.

# Ugolino di Nerio

**Ugolino di Nerio** (1280? – 1349) was an Italian painter active in his native city of Siena and in Florence between the years 1317 and 1327.

He was a follower of Duccio di Buoninsegna, from whose Maestà some of his scenes are clearly derived. He was a leading master who contributed to the spread of Sienese painting in Florence by earning commissions to paint in the two main basilicas there, Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce.

## Biography and works

Nerio was born around 1280 in Siena to a family of painters. His father as well as his siblings, Guido and Muccio, were artists. His only known signed work is his altarpiece for the main altar of Saint Croce, dated around 1325. The signature is now lost but was recorded by Vasari. The work was moved from the main altar in 1566 to make way for a ciborium designed by Vasari. It was reassembled in the friars' dormitory where it remained until, at some time around the beginning of the 19th century, it was broken up and the surviving parts sold to William Young Ottley, an English collector. Today the panels are scattered in several museums around the world. The National Gallery in London has eleven. Studies of this work have resulted in putative reconstructions.

Ugolino di Nerio emerged as an independent master around 1315. His early paintings like the Madonna Contini Bonaccossi in the Pitti Palace, are painted in a style drawn from that of Duccio. From about 1320 a distinct mature style emerges, spiritual and elegant. His choice of brighter colours was perhaps influenced by Simone Martini.

Evidence of di Nerio’s fondness for painting pious subject matter can be seen in his iconic depictions of Mary Magdalene and Louis of Toulouse, which were both executed in 1328. Both of these paintings utilize the rich and vibrant colors that he was known for using, especially since the dominant colors in these two particular pieces are bright red and gold.

The altarpiece for Santa Croce was the most important commission in a series of works that the Franciscans entrusted to him. At least eight polyptychs have survived in parts. Other important polyptychs are in the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts. His best-known Madonna is in the Chiesa della Misericordia, San Casciano in Val di Pesa; there is another in the Louvre.

According to Vasari he died in Siena.

title: PsaA RNA motif

abstract: The psaA RNA motif describes a class of RNAs with a common secondary structure. psaA RNAs are exclusively found in locations that presumably correspond to the 5' untranslated regions of operons formed of psaA and psaB genes. For this reason, it was hypothesized that psaA RNAs function as cis-regulatory elements of these genes. The psaAB genes encode proteins that form subunits in the photosystem I structure used for photosynthesis. psaA RNAs have been detected only in cyanobacteria, which is consistent with their association with photosynthesis. psaAB genes are known to be regulated in species of cyanobacteria that do not use psaA RNAs, and this system of regulation involves transcription factor proteins. In this system, the expression of psaAB genes is increased when cells are growing with limited amount of light, presumably to maximize their energy from the limited resource. On the other hand, the genes' expression is reduced when light levels are high, presumable to reduce damage that can be caused by free radicals that are a byproduct of photosynthesis. A region of the psaA RNA motif corresponds to the expected sequence of a binding site of the NtcA protein, which is involved in nitrogen regulation. Structurally, the psaA RNA motif consists of a somewhat complex arrangement of stems resulting from base pairing, and many stem-loops are terminated by the stable UNCG tetraloop. Most of the conserved nucleotides in the motif participate in standard Watson-Crick base pairs. However, since the precise function of psaA RNAs is unknown, it is also unknown what biochemical role these features play.

The first-round game was held at the home team venue while all succeeding games were played at the Olympia Stadium in Detroit, Michigan.

## Qualifying teams

The NCAA gave four teams automatic bids into the tournament. The two ECAC teams that reached the ECAC tournament final received bids as did the two WCHA co-champions. The NCAA also had the ability to add up to 4 additional teams as it saw fit and chose to include the CCHA tournament champion as well.

## Format

The four automatic qualifiers were seeded according to pre-tournament finish. The ECAC champion was seeded as the top eastern team while the WCHA co-champion that finished highest in the regular season was given the top western seed. The second eastern seed was slotted to play the top western seed and vice versa. Because an at-large bid was offered to a western school they were placed in a first-round game with the second western seed to determine the final semifinalist. The first-round game was played at the home venue of the second seed while all succeeding games were played at the Olympia in Detroit, Michigan. All matches were Single-game eliminations with the semifinal winners advancing to the national championship game and the losers playing in a consolation game.

title: Mi-Go

abstract: Mi-Go are a fictional race of extraterrestrials created by H. P. Lovecraft and used by others in the Cthulhu Mythos setting. The aliens are fungus-based lifeforms which are extremely varied due to their prodigious surgical, biological, chemical, and mechanical skill. The variants witnessed by the protagonist of "The Whisperer in Darkness" resemble winged human-sized crabs. Mi-Go are first named as such in Lovecraft's short story "The Whisperer in Darkness" (1931). However, since they are described in this story as "fungi" that come "from Yuggoth," they can be considered an elaboration on earlier references to alien vegetation on dream-worlds in Lovecraft's sonnet cycle Fungi from Yuggoth (1929–30).

# Mi-Go

**Mi-Go** are a fictional race of extraterrestrials created by H. P. Lovecraft and used by others in the Cthulhu Mythos setting. The aliens are fungus-based lifeforms which are extremely varied due to their prodigious surgical, biological, chemical, and mechanical skill. The variants witnessed by the protagonist of "The Whisperer in Darkness" resemble winged human-sized crabs.

Mi-Go are first named as such in Lovecraft's short story "The Whisperer in Darkness" (1931). However, since they are described in this story as "fungi" that come "from Yuggoth," they can be considered an elaboration on earlier references to alien vegetation on dream-worlds in Lovecraft's sonnet cycle *Fungi from Yuggoth* (1929–30).

## Description

The Mi-Go are large, pinkish, fungoid, crustacean-like entities the size of a man; where a head would be, they have a "convoluted ellipsoid" composed of pyramided, fleshy rings and covered in antennae. They are about five feet (1.5 m) long, and their crustacean-like bodies bear numerous sets of paired appendages. They possess a pair of membranous bat-like wings which are used to fly through the "aether" of outer space. The wings do not function well on Earth. Several other races in Lovecraft's Mythos also have wings like these.

In the original short story, the creatures cannot be recorded using ordinary photographic film, due to their bodies being formed from otherworldly matter.

They are capable of going into suspended animation until softened and reheated by the sun or some other source of heat.

The Mi-Go can transport humans from Earth to Pluto (and beyond) and back again by removing the subject's living brain and placing it into a "brain cylinder", which can be attached to external devices to allow it to see, hear, and speak.

In "The Whisperer in Darkness" the Mi-Go are heard to give praise to Nyarlathotep and Shub-Niggurath, suggesting some form of worship. Their moral system is completely alien, making them seem highly malicious from a human perspective.

One of the moons of Yuggoth holds designs that are sacred to the Mi-Go; these are useful in various processes mentioned in the *Necronomicon*. It is said that transcriptions of these designs can be sensed by the Mi-Go, and those possessing them shall be hunted down by the few remaining on Earth.

The narrator of "The Whisperer in Darkness" learns that, ostensibly, a group known as the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign is dedicated to hunting down and exterminating the fungoid threat, though it is unknown if this is actually true since it was given as a pat explanation for the Mi-Go remaining hidden. The name "Hastur" is mentioned in passing among several other places and things, was eventually applied into a god-like alien being by August Derleth who gave Hastur the title "Him Who is Not to be Named". However, in Lovecraft's story, a human ally of the Mi-Go mentions "Him Who Is Not to Be Named" in the list of honored entities along with Nyarlathotep and Shub-Niggurath, and "Hastur" in connection with the cult of the Yellow Sign opposing the Mi-Go's work on Earth. Lovecraft never made a connection between Hastur and "Him Who Is Not to Be Named", and indeed did not even imply Hastur was a being; Derleth was the one to do so.

title: Patrolled By Radar

abstract: Patrolled By Radar (PBR) is a roots rock trio based in Los Angeles. The band blends alt-country, blues and soul with "equal parts British invasion, cow-punk and Americana, songwriting respected as craft". After dismantling his group 50 Cent Haircut, which had been an institution in the US southwest for over a decade and performed over 1,000 shows, folksinger Souza formed PBR in 2010 with lead guitarist and longtime bandmate Bosco Sheff, both of whom are from Boston, Massachusetts. Shortly thereafter, they were joined by drummer Ben Johnsen, a veteran of the New York City music scene from Hackensack, New Jersey. The sound post-production and Emmy-winner Preston Mann, from Paisley, Scotland, played with the group on Hammond Organ and piano from 2012 to 2014. Managed for their first two years by Knitting Factory Entertainment's CEO, Morgan Margolis, they released their first album, Be Happy, in June 2011, on Knitting Factory Records. Recorded and mixed by the Grammy-nominated producer Peter Curry of the group Los Straitjackets, the record received good reviews. On that momentum, they toured in direct support of the Grammy winners Los Lonely Boys, playing to capacity audiences in concert theaters throughout the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. A review of their performance at The Wilma Theater in Missoula, Montana, described PBR as "classic heartland rock and roll, providing an old school Bob Dylan and The Band vibe". In 2013, the group independently released a full-length studio album of cover versions titled Cards, Gifts & Caskets Vol. 1. They finished a full-length original record titled "Cool Your Jets", set for release early 2014. Both, were produced by Peter Curry. "With a timeless narrative style" PBR is a consummate bar band in the 1970s pub rock tradition and has played with Porter Wagoner, Marty Stuart, Taj Mahal, Dave Davies Kinks Chronicles, The Jayhawks, Tim Finn and Richard Thompson, Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, and The Gourds. "A mixture of Bob Dylan lyrics with Ray Davies passion, add a dash of Johnny Cash swagger and throw in a Wilco-type musical journey, and you have Patrolled By Radar."

# Loóna

**Loóna** is a mobile app designed for relaxation and sleep. Created in 2019, the app is available globally on iOS, macOS, iPadOS and Android.

The developer of the app is Loona Inc. (U.S.). Loóna was awarded the title of "Best App" in the U.S. by Google Play’s Best of 2020 Awards and won the 2021 Apple Design Award in the Visuals and Graphics category.

## History

Loóna was developed by the team behind the AR face-swap app MSQRD that was acquired by Facebook in 2016.

In 2019, after spending one year working for Facebook, Andrew Yanchurevich and Dmitry Doryn launched a new project—Loóna. Subsequently, Sergey Gonchar and Eugene Nevgen also left Facebook to join the venture.

Loóna was imagined as an app to induce relaxation and aid in the preparation for sleep. Initially, the app was created as a 3D coloring activity incorporating soothing music. Later, the inspiration for adding interactive storytelling emerged when Andrew Yanchurevich, who was reading bedtime stories to his three-year-old son on a nightly basis, noticed that he was becoming drowsy himself. The team went on to create tales describing what was happening in detailed dioramas to fully immerse users in the coloring process—catalyzing the concept of ‘sleepscapes’. Sleepscapes are immersive episodes that bundle music, storytelling, and coloring.

Loóna’s soft launch on iOS happened in May 2019, and on Android in June 2020.

Loóna investors include Elefund, Hoxton Ventures, and Natalia Vodianova, a supermodel and philanthropist.

The app is currently available in the English and Russian languages.

## Functionality

Loóna is a mix of 3D coloring, meditative music, and calming stories.

Project investor Natalia Vodianova attributes the app’s success to the concept that it is at the intersection of two industries—health and entertainment. Unlike other sleep and meditation apps that suggest users close their eyes and simply listen to the narration, Loóna aims to engage and immerse the audience in the experience. The app combines activity-based relaxation techniques and invites users to color in scenes while listening to music and storytelling specially created for each episode. The content library includes both fantastic tales, such as ‘Light of Hope’ or ‘The Luminous Realm,’ as well as more reality-based stories that take place in familiar locations such as a park in Paris or a cafe in Brooklyn. Some episodes are interconnected as ‘Easter eggs’ pop up across them.

Developers shared that one of the challenges behind creating the artwork was anticipating and avoiding potential visual triggers that would activate the users’ minds before bedtime— scattered objects being one such example. They were used in 3D dioramas to enhance graphic details but were disliked by users, causing unpleasant associations to their everyday lives and preventing them from relaxing.

## Reception

Loóna was awarded the title of “Best App” in the U.S. by Google Play’s Best of 2020 Awards.

‘The Best App of 2020 \[Loóna\] provides images and sounds that help you relax and fall asleep,’ according to CNN Business. The Guardian and Forbes noted that Loóna is ‘at the heart of the sleep aid revolution’ in a fast-growing market.

The app also won an accolade at the Apple Design Awards 2021 in the Visuals and Graphics category. Loóna has been ranked among the best apps for relaxation and sleep by Quartz.

In 2020, Andrew Yanchurevich, Dmitry Doryn, Sergey Gonchar, and Eugene Nevgen won ‘The Businessmen Of The Year’ nomination by GQ with the Loóna project. In 2021, Andrew Yanchurevich and Dmitry Doryn were nominated into Forbes Russia ’30 under 30’ rating in the ‘Entrepreneurs’ category as the founders of Loóna.

**Wade Island** is located in the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Itself a part of the Sheets Island archipelago, the small island is home to Pennsylvania's large nesting colony of herons and egrets.

## 2002 survey

In May 2002, the annual survey of the waterbird colony on Wade Island in the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg was conducted. It is Pennsylvania's sole population of nesting great egrets, which is why this species is listed as endangered. Some 142 egret nests were found, a 14 percent decrease from 2001. Wade Island is also home to the largest black-crowned night heron rookery in the state. Over the past decade this species suffered a general decline. On a positive note, 107 nests were found, 14 more than in 2001. Surveyors noted a dramatic increase, a near doubling, of cormorant nests from 11 to 21, a 91 percent increase. The most dramatic finding resulted from an assessment of the perimeter of the island taken by Pennsylvania Game Commission biologist Cal Butchkoski. Comparison to a 1987 map revealed severe erosion on the east side of the island resulting in a loss of one third of its area over 15 years.

title: Patrick T. Powers

abstract: Patrick T. Powers was an American baseball executive who served as president of the Eastern League and founding president of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL). Already president of the Eastern League, he was elected by several minor league presidents on September 5, 1901, at the Leland Hotel in Chicago. The purpose of the NAPBL was to keep the uniting minor leagues independent of the American League and National League, who were engaged in a turf war, stealing players and hurling accusations at each other. By then, the established major National League had abrogated its agreement with the minor leagues when threatened by the American side. After the American League won its equality with the National League, the two major leagues and the minor association led by Powers reestablished a National Agreement. Once again, a system was in place to protect rosters and territories and at the same time feed some players to the National and American Leagues. Before becoming a league executive, Powers was a team manager including two seasons in the major leagues. In 1890, he led the Rochester Broncos of the American Association to a 63–63 record and a fifth-place finish. With the New York Giants in 1892, he finished 8th in the 12-team National League with a record of 71–80. There were 35 leagues and 246 professional baseball clubs in the organization. It has continued on as the trade association of those lesser baseball leagues that make up organized baseball. It goes by the aforementioned moniker of Minor League Baseball today, which implies a universality no longer even approximately attained. Once again at the end of the 20th century as at the beginning, there were many independent professional leagues, such as the Northern League, Central League, and Golden Baseball League. Those leagues also feed players, albeit many fewer, to the major leagues. Powers retired from the presidency of the NABPL in 1909, at a time when the Eastern League considered leaving. Michael H. Sexton was chosen to replace Powers as president at the Winter Meetings in 1909. Powers and Sexton have been considered the "fathers" of the current Minor League Baseball, as they thought alike and acted alike, and were in agreement on the path that the organization should take. As a result, Sexton extended the valuable legacy of Powers during the next 24 years. In 1909, a group of three Eastern League owners attempted to oust Powers as league president, believing that he had not been impartial in his decision making and had made poor decisions when hiring umpires. Powers was reelected after neither his opposition's candidates - James R. Price and Ed Barrow, gained enough votes to take the presidency. In 1910, Barrow was elected president with 5 votes to Powers 3. Powers died at the age of 65 in Belmar, New Jersey.

title: Ulitsa 1905 Goda

abstract: Ulitsa 1905 Goda is a Moscow Metro station in the Presnensky District, Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow, Russia. It is on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line, between Begovaya and Barrikadnaya stations. The station was opened on 30 December 1972, as part of the Krasnopresnenskiy radius.

# Ulitsa 1905 Goda

**Ulitsa 1905 Goda** (Russian: Улица 1905 года, romanized: *Ulitsa tysyacha devyat'sot pyatogo goda*) is a Moscow Metro station in the Presnensky District, Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow, Russia. It is on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line, between Begovaya and Barrikadnaya stations. The station was opened on 30 December 1972, as part of the Krasnopresnenskiy radius.

## Name

It is named after the nearby street, which in turn is named to commemorate the Revolution of 1905.

## Building

The station is considered to be the first in Moscow of the modified column tri-span "Sorokonozhka" design which signified that the era where functionality dominated metro architecture had ceased. The number of pillars was lowered from 40 to 26, and the interpillar distance increased from 4 to 6.5 metres. The architect, Robert Pogrebnoi, applied a decoration of pink marble to the pillars of varying shades. The walls were also decorated with marble instead of ceramic tiles for the first time. The grey marble shade is punctuated with frisian and metallic artworks showing the numbers 1905 and torches (works of Yury Korolev). Grey granite covers the floor.

The western vestibule is underground with an exit to Year 1905 street, whilst the eastern vestibule is a surface rotunda building (very unusual for a shallow station) and is situated in the middle of Krasnopresnenskaya Zastava square. It is decorated inside with a frisian mosaic of the events of 1905.

The station carries a total of 74410 people daily.

# Prue Super Standard

The **Prue Super Standard** is an American, high-wing, single-seat, FAI Standard Class glider that was designed by Irving Prue in 1962 as a development of the Prue Standard.

## Design and development

After Prue fielded the Standard in 1961 he quickly set about improving the design based on initial experience. The Super Standard appeared as a result, in 1962.

The Super Standard incorporated many changes, including a conventional low-tail to replace the Standard's V-tail, which was intended to reduce induced drag in circling flight. Other changes included a two-piece canopy, a fuselage with less height, trailing edge dive brakes and the use of a different airfoil. Whereas the Standard employs the NACA 63-618 airfoil, the Super uses the NACA 65-518. As required by the Standard Class rules, the Super Standard has no water ballast and the landing gear is a fixed monowheel.

The wing skins of the prototype Super are thick ones made from magnesium that allow fewer wing ribs to be used. Later Supers built used aluminium wing skins, including the conforming certification prototype. Despite the improvements, the Super's glider ratio and minimum sink rates are identical to the Standard's.

Prue pursued Federal Aviation Administration aircraft type certification for the Super Standard in anticipation of series production. The type certificate was awarded on 28 December 1964, but only three aircraft were completed, the prototype in the *Experimental - amateur-built* category, one in the *Experimental - certification compliance* category and one certified example.

## Operational history

The famous sailplane photographer, Alex Aldott, set the Hungarian national distance record of 748 km (465 mi) in a Prue Super Standard.

In June 2011 two Super Standards were still registered with the FAA, with the third listed as having its registration revoked.

# Thomas Perrett

**Thomas Perrett** (November 27, 1843 - April 22, 1923) was an American politician and businessman. He was elected to the North Carolina Senate in 1907, representing the state's 10th Senate district and later served as mayor of Faison, North Carolina for 25 years.

## Early life

Perrett was born on November 27, 1843, at his family's home in western Chatham County, North Carolina. Later, his family moved to a farm near Alamance County. He worked on the farm and attended a local public school. Perrett was the grandson of Thos Howell, a merchant from England.

## Confederate States Army service

Despite being the son of supporters of the Union, Perrett volunteered on January 10, 1861 to serve in the Mathews Cress Roads Company of the 26th North Carolina Infantry Regiment of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He served under the command of Colonel Zebulon Vance, Lieutenant Colonel Harry Burgwyn, and Major Abner B. Carmichael. He was wounded during the Battle of Gettysburg.

On February 22, 1865, command of his regiment had fallen to Perrett. He deserted along with 17 others of the company but was brought back to camp at one of the Roanoke River crossings. He stood trial for desertion in March 1865.

## Post-war

Perrett served as a Justice of the Peace for Duplin County by appointment of the General Assembly, with his term beginning on April 1, 1899.

As a Democrat, he was elected to the North Carolina Senate to represent the 10th district in 1907, replacing James J. Moore. He served on the state agriculture, pension and soldiers, and public roads committees. He also served on the committees for congressional apportionment and manufacturing, and chaired the committee on enrolled bills. He supported enacting prohibition throughout the state, having helped to pass such legislation for Duplin County. He was succeeded as representative for Duplin and Pender counties by Edmond Hawes in 1909.

He also ran a general store since at least 1878, and was a notary public.

## Personal life

Perrett was married twice. His second wife, Eloise Faison of Friendship Plantation, was a member of a prominent family and a relative of U.S. Congressman John M. Faison.

Perrett was also a member of the Faison Hunting Club and a Freemason for 58 years.

Perrett died at his home in Faison, North Carolina on April 22, 1923.

# TromaDance

The **TromaDance Film Festival** is a free annual independent non-competitive film festival organized by Troma Entertainment. Founded in 1999, TromaDance was originally held in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, operating concurrently alongside the Sundance Film Festival in order to showcase an independent alternative to Sundance's perceived mainstream offerings. Between 2010 and 2013, the festival had been relocated to various locations throughout New Jersey. Since 2014, TromaDance has relocated to New York City, and Mahoning Drive-In Theater.

## Overview

TromaDance advertises itself as "the first and only film festival of the people, for the people, and by the people", dedicated to "bringing independent art back to the people". In direct opposition to Sundance, TromaDance doesn't charge an entry fee for filmmakers to submit their films and doesn't charge admission fees for people to attend the film screenings. Although Troma themselves are notorious for their violent low-budget horror films, TromaDance showcases both shorts and features of varying genres and formats, including comedy, drama, documentary, animation and experimental film, though horror, fantasy and sci-fi usually make up a significant portion of the entries.

TromaDance is primarily funded by donations, and the festival's employees and volunteers are entirely unpaid. TromaDance has been sponsored over the years by *Filmmaker Magazine*, G4, Jägermeister, Kodak, *MovieMaker Magazine*, PETA, *Rue Morgue Magazine*, *SLUG Magazine*, and Stella Artois. Troma also sponsors fan-organized events called TromaPaloozas, music festivals that serve as fundraisers for TromaDance. TromaPaloozas have been held in Denver, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Murfreesboro, and Tulsa.

## History

The idea for TromaDance was developed by Troma president Lloyd Kaufman, who got the idea from *South Park* co-creator Trey Parker (whose debut film, *Cannibal! The Musical*, was distributed by Troma). Feeling that Sundance had become too "Hollywood" by charging high entry fees, showing multimillion-dollar "independent" movies and practicing an elitist structure and film selection process, Parker urged Kaufman to create his own film festival that was the direct independent opposite of Sundance, one that was completely free and focused on independently produced film that was made without the Hollywood system in order to give first-time filmmakers a chance at getting their work seen.

Troma has released five volumes of *"The Best of TromaDance"*, DVDs of selected shorts each from two years worth of the festival. The press conference for the 2005 festival held in October 2004 featured the introduction of the official TromaDance Theme Song by longtime Troma character Count Smokula.

# Trochocarpa gunnii

***Trochocarpa gunnii*** is a species of flowering plant of the family Ericaceae and is endemic to Tasmania. It is a common, tall, rainforest understorey shrub with broadly oblong leaves and small, dense spikes of white, sometimes pink or red, glabrous flowers and purple to orange drupes.

## Description

*Trochocarpa gunnii* is a common, rainforest understorey shrub that typically grows to a height of about 2–4 m (6 ft 7 in – 13 ft 1 in) and has many branches. The leaves are arranged alternately along the branches, so that the shoot appears flattened. The leaves are oval to oblong, usually 6–9 mm (0.24–0.35 in) long with 3 to 5 ribs on the lower, lighter surface. The flowers are borne in short, almost spherical spikes on the ends of branches or on the previous year's growth with bracts and bracteoles about half as long as the sepals, the sepals about 1.6 mm (0.063 in) long. The petals are white, pink or red and glabrous, joined at the base to for a bell-shaped tube 3.2 mm (0.13 in) long and longer than the sepals, the petal-lobe short. The fruits is a fleshy, purple to orange drupe about 8 mm (0.31 in) in diameter.

## Taxonomy

This species was first formally described in 1847 by Joseph Dalton Hooker who gave it the name *Decaspora gunnii* in William Jackson Hooker's *The London journal of botany*, from specimens collected in the "Hampshire Hills" by Ronald Campbell Gunn. In 1868, George Bentham transferred the species to *Trochocarpa* as *T. gunnii* in his *Flora Australiensis*." The specific epithet (*gunnii*), honours the collector of the type collection.

This species can be confused with *Trochocarpa cunninghamii*, which is a low growing, scrambling shrub with red flowers, and is more commonly found at high altitudes. The rainforest *Archeria* species (*A. eriocarpa* and *A. hirtella*) also have similar foliage to *T. gunnii*, however these species only have one vein on the underside of the leaf.

## Distribution and habitat

*Trochocarpa gunnii* is endemic to Tasmania and is found in rainforests and sub-alpine areas of the state.

## Phylogeny

The closest relatives of *Trochocarpa gunnii* appear to be *Monotoca scoparia* and *Montitega dealbata*, both of which occur in Tasmania. *M. scoparia* is endemic to Australia and is found in many parts of the South East of the country, while *M. dealbata* is endemic to Tasmania.

title: Manipur bush rat

abstract: The Manipur bush rat, also known as Hume's rat or Hume's hadromys, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in northeastern India, and is listed as endangered.

text:
# Manipur bush rat

The **Manipur bush rat** (***Hadromys humei***), also known as **Hume's rat** or **Hume's hadromys**, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in northeastern India, and is listed as endangered.

## Range and habitat

The species is endemic to northeast India, and has been recorded from several localities. These are: Angarakhata in Kamrup district (Assam), Bishnupur, Imphal, Senapati and Karong (specimen FMNH 76562) in Manipur.

Originally thought to occur in Yunnan in China also, the Chinese animals have been reclassified as *Hadromys yunnanensis* Yang & Wang 1987. The fossil record shows that populations of the Manipur Bush Rat existed all over Thailand right down to the Thai-Malay border during the Pleistocene. During that time, the Indo-Malayan region may have had a cooler and drier climate with savanna-like regions. A related species is known from the Siwalik fossils from northern Pakistan. These findings indicate that *Hadromys humei* is probably a "relict" species.

The Manipur bush rat occurs at medium altitudes from 900 to 1,300 m (3,000 to 4,300 ft) above sea level. It inhabits tropical evergreen, moist deciduous and evergreen forests and also found in secondary forests in northeastern India.

## Discovery

The murid was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1886 from specimens in the Manipur collection of Allan Octavian Hume, which was donated to the British Museum (Natural History) after Hume's life's work in ornithological notes were sold by a servant as waste paper. The Manipur Bush Rat was named in his honour. The collection has two male and two female specimens, recorded to be collected on 23 March 1881 from "Moirang" (in Manipur), the type locality for this species.

## Description

The specimen has been described by Thomas (1886) as:

> General colour above exceedingly like that of *Golunda ellioti*, Gr., viz. coarsely grizzled grey, lightest on the head and graduallv turning to deep rufous on the rump, the tips of the great majoritv of the hairs being white or yellowish white on the head and fore quarters, and gradually becoming rich rufous on the hind quarters, their bases in all cases deep slaty -blue. The other hairs are black throughout, and form the black element in the general grizzling. Sides like the forequarters. Belly yellow or orange, mixed with the slate of the haii -bases; no black-tipped hairs below. The inner sides of the thighs and all round the base of the tail rich rufous. The fur throughout is soft, and unmixed with flattened or spinous bristles. Feet grizzled yellowish white. Ears thinly covered outside with black hairs, and inside with black and yellow or red ones; an indistinct tuft of orange-tipped hairs iu front of the basal notch. Tail well haired, but not pencilled, markedly bicolor, the hairs black above and white below, but the scales, even of the lower side, are uniformly brown. Ears large and evenly rounded, with a small projection in the middle of their inner margins; laid forward they reacli to the posterior corner of the eye. Tail about as long as the body without the head. Fifth front toe unusually short, its claw barely reaching to the bottom of the division between the 2nd and 3rd toes, giving the foot, at first sight, the appearance of being only provided with three toes. Fifth hind toe reaching just to the base of the fourth. Foot-pads 5-6. Mammae 8, 2 pectoral and 2 inguinal pairs.

The head and body length of the largest specimen, a female, was 125 millimetres (4.9 in) long while the tail is 106 millimetres (4.2 in) long. Elsewhere, the head and body length has been given as head and body length as 95 to 140 millimetres (3.7 to 5.5 in), the tail length as 195 to 40 millimetres (7.7 to 1.6 in). The weight has been recorded as ranging from 41 to 77 grams (1.4 to 2.7 oz).

## Conservation status

The species has been given conservation status of "Endangered - B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii)" in IUCN Red List ver 3.1. The criteria for this assessment include:

* Limited area of occurrence (less than 500 km2 (190 sq mi)).
* Limited geographical extent of range (less than 5,000 km (3,100 mi)).
* Less than five areas from which it is reported.
* Continuing decline in extent and degradation of habitat.

The principal threats to this species are assessed to be loss of and degradation of habitat, fragmentation, and encroachment. Besides these, hunting and fire are also considered to be contributing causes.
