# Paralaoma turbotti

***Paralaoma turbotti*** is a species of land snail in the family Punctidae. The species was first described by Baden Powell in 1948, and is endemic to Manawatāwhi / Three Kings Islands in New Zealand.

## Taxonomy

The species was identified by Powell in 1948, based on a shell collected from Manawatāwhi / Great Island in 1945 by Graham Turbott, who discovered the shell on the underside of decaying wood in leaf mold, in an area of kanuka scrub. Powell named the species after Turbott.

In 1999, specimens that had previously been identified as *P. turbotti* by Frank Climo in 1973 were described two new species, *Paralaoma manawatawhia* and *Paralaoma raki*. These species share a habitat and have overlapping distributions, suggesting that Quaternary sea level changes may have fragmented populations of *Paralaoma*, leading to speciation.

## Description

Powell's original text (the type description) reads as follows:

> Shell minute, depressed-turbinate, narrowly umbilicated, closely radially costate, microscopically densely spirally striate, thin, shining, uniformly light brown. Spire slightly taller than height of aperture. Suture deeply impressed. Whorls 4½, slowly increasing, including a low rounded protoconch of 1½ microscopically spirally striated whorls. Post-nuclear sculpture of numerous somewhat irregular rounded radial ribs, stronger on dorsal surface; about 60 on the penultimate and approximately 90 on the body-whorl. The whole surface crowded with dense, microscopic, spiral, linear-spaced lirations, interstial on the dorsal surface but crossing the weakened radials of the base. Umbilicus deep, narrow and straight sided, about one-eighth major diameter of the base. Aperture lunate, with thin outer lip. Inner lip reflexed, partly concealing the umbilicus. Major diameter, 1.6 mm (0.063 in).; minimum diameter, 1.45 mm (0.057 in).: height, 1.00 mm (0.039 in) (holotype).

The shell of the species is morphologically very similar to *Paralaoma buddlei*, however is much smaller compared to *P. buddlei*. They can be distinguished from *P. manawatawhia* due to the shells of this species being brown, bigger and having heavier ribbing.

## Distribution and habitat

The species is endemic to New Zealand, found on islands of the Manawatāwhi / Three Kings Islands group: Manawatāwhi / Great Island and Moekawa / South West Island. The snail lives primarily in broaflead forest and kanuka leaf litter.

# The Secret of My Success (musical)

***The Secret of My Success*** is a musical comedy play based on the 1987 movie of the same name starring Michael J. Fox. Music is by Michael Mahler and Alan Schmuckler and book by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen.

## Development

Development started in 2013 when Universal Theatrical Group, which holds the rights to the 1987 film, greenlighted the project. A 2018 reading cast Chris Dwan (Brantley Foster/Carlton Whitfield) and Lilli Cooper (Christy Lockhart) as leads. A 2020 premiere was announced in February 2019 and casting finalized in January 2020.

## Production

The musical was mid-run for its world premiere and pre-Broadway tryout at the Paramount Theatre in March 2020 with Sydney Morton (Christy Lockhart) and Billy Harrigan Tighe (Brantley Foster/Carlton Whitfield) as leads and Greenberg directing when production was shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. It had been scheduled to run from February 21 – March 29, and the final performance was March 12, as Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker shut down all performance venues starting March 13.

In 2022, the musical was remounted at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts by Theatre Under The Stars in Houston, Texas.

## Reception

Reviews of the pre-Broadway tryout were generally positive, though most were at least initially puzzled by the choice of source material*.* *Chicago Sun-Times* critic Catey Sullivan, calling the movie a "dumpster fire" and wondering "How on God’s green earth could anyone watch the 1987 film’s parade of stereotypes and misogyny and think, 'Hey! Let’s make it a musical!'?", said the musical was "a triumph over its source material." She predicted Broadway success. *Chicago Tribune* critic Chris Jones questioned whether the storyline, which he said had seemed dated in 1987, was edgy enough to attract a modern Broadway audience. He described the production as a "whip-bang, fast-paced, old-school, we-love-New York kind of show" and complimented its music and production values. Around the Town critic Alan Bresloff had also questioned whether the source material could be made interesting to modern audiences, but that the show had proved him wrong. New City Stage critic Noel Schechter had also questioned the wisdom of using the source material for a new musical but was convinced, crediting the success to the creation of multiple strong female lead characters, including Morton's Christy Lockhart and Heidi Kettenring's Vera Prescott. Jack Helbig of the Chicago Reader was unenthusiastic, calling the book "bland" and "cliched" and the music "forgettable", although he called out some of the performances, including those of Morton and Kettenring, for bringing "heart and fire" to the production.

# Lizette Parker

**Lizette Parker** (August 31, 1971 – April 24, 2016) was an American politician and social worker. She served as the Mayor of Teaneck, New Jersey, from 2014 until her death in April 2016. Parker was the first black woman to serve as Mayor of Teaneck, as well as the first black woman to serve as the mayor of any municipality in Bergen County, the state's most populous county. Coincidentally, she succeeded former Mayor Mohammed Hameeduddin, who became the first Muslim to become the Mayor of a Bergen County community in 2010.

## Early life and family

Parker was born in Harlem, New York City to Dolores-Ann and Lawrence Phillips, and she was raised in Teaneck, New Jersey. She graduated from Teaneck High School. She received her Bachelor of Arts in sociology from Montclair State University. She also earned a master's degree in administrative science from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Parker worked as a case worker and social work supervisor at the Bergen County Board of Social Services from 1992 until 2016. She had served on the Teaneck Township Council from 2006 until her death in 2016.

She was married to Anthony Parker The couple had one daughter, Alyssa, four-year-old at the time of her mother's death.

## Mayoralty

Parker was re-elected to the council in the Teaneck municipal election on May 13, 2014, receiving the most votes of any member of the council. The choice of mayor in Teaneck is made among council members, and Parker, who served as deputy mayor from 2006 to 2010, the 2010 election was contentious. Traditionally, the council chose the member with the highest vote total in the election to serve as mayor. Estina Baker, president of the Bergen County chapter of the NAACP, said the sentiment against choosing Parker was a matter of "race and gender," and Parker made the same allegation in an "unusually impassioned" speech. After the election, parker and Hameeduddin, who was chosen mayor despite having garnered fewer votes, worked together in a coalition that dominated the City Council.

In 2007, as deputy mayor, Parker performed the ceremony for the first same-sex civil union in New Jersey.

On July 1, 2014, the council unanimously elected Parker as the Mayor of Teaneck. She was sworn into the office at the same meeting. Parker became not only the first African-American female mayor of Teaneck, but also the first black woman to serve as Mayor of any municipality in Bergen County, New Jersey. Her predecessor, Mohammed Hameeduddin, remained in the government as a councilman. As mayor, she was a member of the New Jersey Black Mayors Alliance for Social Justice which spoke out against then Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump's call to ban all Muslim immigration in the United States.

## Death

Parker died in office after a respiratory illness at Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, New Jersey, on April 24, 2016, at the age of 44. She had recently suffered from cancer. Her current term as mayor would have expired on July 1, 2016. Teaneck Deputy Mayor Elie Katz became acting mayor upon her death.

She was buried in George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus, New Jersey. 600 people attended the funeral.

## Legacy

A street in Teaneck is named in her honor. A room at the Teaneck library was named in her honor.

The local chapter of the NAACP created the "Lizette Parker Trailblazer Award".

The Urban League of Bergen County created a scholarship fund to pay for the education of Parker's daughter.

# Pondfield Cove

**Pondfield Cove** is a small, secluded, south-facing cove immediately to the east of Worbarrow Tout and west of Gad Cliff on the south coast of the Isle of Purbeck, in Dorset, England. It is about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of Wareham and about 16 kilometres (10 mi) west of Swanage.

The cove is only accessible when the Lulworth Ranges are open to the public. It can be reached either by a 1.4-kilometre (0.9 mi) walk down an easy track alongside Tyneham Gwyle, from the car park alongside the ghost village of Tyneham, or alternatively via the South West Coast Path.

## Geology

The geology of the Isle of Purbeck is very complex and this is shown very clearly along this stretch of coast. The extreme angular layers of rock visibly demonstrate the complex sedimentary folding that affected this area some 30 million years ago. The foldings were caused by the tectonic pressures as the African and European continents collided.

During this period, the sediments were twisted horizontally, this is why the younger Cretaceous formations, between 85 and 145 million years old, are found to the rear of Worbarrow Bay. Pondfield Cove lies entirely within the Portland limestones, 150 million, and Purbeck Beds, 147 million years old. The sequence of Purbeck limestones and shales is clearly visible within the low neck of land between Worbarrow Tout and the mainland. This cliff face separates the cove from Worbarrow Bay to the north.

title: Prince Emmanuel, Duke of Vendôme

abstract: Prince Emmanuel of Orléans, Duke of Vendôme was a French royal from the House of Orléans.

text:
# Prince Emmanuel, Duke of Vendôme

**Prince Emmanuel of Orléans, Duke of Vendôme** (Philippe Emmanuel Maximilien Marie Eudes; 18 January 1872  1 February 1931) was a French royal from the House of Orléans.

## Early life

Emmanuel was born in Obermais, Meran on 18 January 1872. He was the second child and only son of Ferdinand Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Alençon and his wife Duchess Sophie Charlotte in Bavaria. His mother was the famed *duchesse d'Alençon* who died in a fire at a charity bazaar in Paris on 4 May 1897. His older sister, Louise d'Orléans, married Prince Alfons of Bavaria.

His paternal grandparents were Prince Louis, Duke of Nemours (son of Queen Maria and King Louis Philippe, who was forced to abdicate after the outbreak of the French Revolution of 1848) and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a first cousin of Queen Victoria). His maternal grandparents were Duke Maximilian Joseph in Bavaria and Princess Ludovika of Bavaria.

## Career

The Duke was a Major in the Austro-Hungarian Army, however, he was not allowed to serve in World War I due to an 1886 law barring all princes of the two former sovereign houses of France from being permitted serving their county in the army or navy or hold office in the French government. The Prince, undeterred, volunteered with the French Red Cross, was appointed a principal delegate on the Belgian front and served as a director of the Franco-Belgian Hospital in Calais.

In 1926, he led an excavation party that unearthed the village of Roquebillière, in the Alpes-Maritimes department, where several Roman tombs were found containing rare jewels, vases and objets d'art.

## Personal life

On 12 February 1896, he married Princess Henriette of Belgium (1870–1948) in Brussels. Henriette was a daughter of Prince Philippe, Count of Flanders and Princess Marie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, and the sister of King Albert I of Belgium. Together, they were known as the Sporting Duke and Duchess, and had four children:

The couple had estates in Belgium, France and Switzerland until after World War I, when their fortune diminished rapidly and they were forced to sell some properties.

Philippe died unexpectedly in 1931 from heart failure after catching a cold, in Cannes, France. He is buried in the Chapelle Royale de Saint Louis, in Dreux. His widow, Henriette Marie of Belgium died aged 77, on 28 March 1948, in Sierre, Valais, Switzerland.

title: Visapur Fort

abstract: Visapur Fort is a hill fort near Visapur village in Maharashtra, India. It is a part of the Lohagad-Visapur fortification.

text:
# Visapur Fort

**Visapur Fort** (also called **Visapoor Fort**) is a hill fort near Visapur village in Maharashtra, India. It is a part of the Lohagad-Visapur fortification.

## Location

It is located in Pune district, 5 to 6 km from Malavli Railway station out of which 3 km is steep road. It has an elevation of 1084 meters above sea level. It is built on the same plateau as Lohagad.

## History

It was built during 1713-1720 CE by Balaji Vishwanath, the first Peshwa of Maratha Empire. Visapur fort was built much later than Lohagad but the histories of the two forts are closely linked.

In 1818, when reducing the Peshwa's forts, the strength of Lohagad and its fame as the treasury of the Maratha kingdom, caused the English to make special preparations for its attack. A detachment of 380 European and 800 native soldiers, with a battering train, summoned from Konkan, were joined by artillery from Chakan, and two other British battalions. On 4 March 1818, Visapur was attacked and occupied.

Making use of its higher elevation and proximity to Lohagad, the British troops set up their cannons on Visapur and bombarded Lohagad, forcing the Marathas to flee. Thus, in 1818, Lohagad-Visapur was taken over by the British in 1818 AD and placed under the command of a Colonel Prother. Considering, the strategic importance of Visapur, both the north (Konkan) and the south (Deccan) gateways were blown up, and except a few huts, nothing was left standing. In contrast, most of Lohagad fort is still intact.

## Major Features

Visapur Fort is larger and at a higher elevation than its twin fort- Lohagad. Within the fort are caves, cisterns of water, a decorated arch and old houses. These two roofless buildings surrounded by outer or veranda walls said to have once been Government offices. The ruins of a large stone-built house are known as the Peshwa's palace. In addition to a huge carving of Hanuman, there are also several temples dedicated to him scattered all over the place.

There is a well which local legend says was built by the Pandavas. In 1885, near the north wall there was an iron gun ten feet long and of four-inch bore, marked with the Tudor Rose and Crown, flanked by the letters E. R. This is probably a gun of Queen Elizabeth's reign probably taken as bounty from an English ship and presented to the Peshwa by Kanhoji Angre or some other commander of the Maratha Navy. Like other guns on the fort it has been disabled by breaking off its trunnions. Close to it are the remains of an old Mahadev shrine.

Unlike the inner structure, majority of its wall is still intact. At a moderate pace, it takes two hours to walk along the winding Visapoor walls. It is high and strengthened by towers along the west face. In other parts, the wall varies from 3 feet thick fortification, backed by masonry platforms where the slope of the hill is easy, to a mere parapet of dry stone where the plateau ends in a precipice. Two massive bastions still flank the ruined central gate.

## Nearby attractions

## How to reach

The cheapest and convenient way to reach the fort is via railways. The nearest railhead to Visapur Fort is Malavli station (approx. 5 km) which is well connected to Mumbai, Lonavala, and Pune via local trains. From Malavli station shared auto/taxi are available for the base village of Visapur Fort

# USS Lucid (AM-259)

**USS *Lucid* (AM-259)** was an *Admirable*-class minesweeper built for the United States Navy during World War II. It was built to clear minefields in offshore waters, and served the Navy in the Atlantic Ocean.

*Lucid* was constructed by American Shipbuilding Co., Lorain, Ohio, on 20 February 1943; launched on 5 June 1943, sponsored by Mrs. Joseph S. Mood; and commissioned on 1 December 1943.

## World War II Atlantic operations

After shakedown out of Little Creek, Virginia, *Lucid* departed on 3 March 1944 for the Caribbean, arriving at Guantánamo Bay on 7 March. For the next twelve months, the minesweeper was assigned to escort duty between Trinidad, British West Indies, and Recife, Brazil. Protecting convoys from U-boat attacks, she made eight such voyages prior to reporting for duty as a training ship at Miami on 28 March 1945.

From April to June, *Lucid* operated as a school ship out of Miami and trained future naval officers in the art of seamanship.

## Decommissioning

Following a brief overhaul at Norfolk, Virginia, the minesweeper returned to Miami, Florida, and decommissioned there on 28 August 1945.

She was transferred to the Republic of China as ROCS *Yung Ting* (AM-45). Her transfer to the Republic of China was made permanent on 12 March 1948, and *Lucid* was struck from the U.S. Naval Vessel Register the same day. In 1964, she was reclassified as a survey ship and renamed ROCS *Yang Ming* (AGS 362). She was decommissioned and struck from the Republic of China Navy on 1 July 1972. Her ultimate fate is unknown.

## Local power

A large number of residents signed up to have their heating and electricity supplied by landfill gas powered CHP. However, due to a lack of council support the scheme did not go ahead. Poolsbrook is part of Staveley Town council, which is part of Chesterfield borough council. They have local elections to elect councillors on both of these councils. Many residents vote for the Labour Party and labour has been in power over Poolsbrook for many years.

text:
# USS Ludlow (DD-112)

**USS *Ludlow* (DD-112)** was a *Wickes*-class destroyer built for the United States Navy during World War I.

## Description

The *Wickes* class was an improved and faster version of the preceding *Caldwell*-class. Two different designs were prepared to the same specification that mainly differed in the turbines and boilers used. The ships built to the Bethlehem Steel design, built in the Fore River and Union Iron Works shipyards, mostly used Yarrow boilers that deteriorated badly during service and were mostly scrapped during the 1930s. The ships displaced 1,202–1,208 long tons (1,221–1,227 t) at standard load and 1,295–1,322 long tons (1,316–1,343 t) at deep load. They had an overall length of 314 feet 4 inches (95.8 m), a beam of 30 feet 11 inches (9.4 m) and a draught of 9 feet 10 inches (3.0 m). They had a crew of 6 officers and 108 enlisted men.

Performance differed radically between the ships of the class, often due to poor workmanship. The *Wickes* class was powered by two steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four water-tube boilers. The turbines were designed to produce a total of 27,000 shaft horsepower (20,000 kW) intended to reach a speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). The ships carried 225 long tons (229 t) of fuel oil which was intended gave them a range of 2,500 nautical miles (4,600 km; 2,900 mi) at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).

The ships were armed with four 4-inch (102 mm) guns in single mounts and were fitted with two 1-pounder guns for anti-aircraft defense. Their primary weapon, though, was their torpedo battery of a dozen 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes in four triple mounts. In many ships a shortage of 1-pounders caused them to be replaced by 3-inch (76 mm) anti-aircraft (AA) guns. They also carried a pair of depth charge rails. A "Y-gun" depth charge thrower was added to many ships.

## Construction and career

*Ludlow* named for Augustus C. Ludlow, was laid down 7 January 1918 at Union Iron Works, San Francisco, California, launched 9 June 1918; sponsored by Miss Elizabeth Ludlow Chrystie, a descendant of Lieutenant Ludlow; and commissioned 23 December 1918. Following west coast shakedown, *Ludlow* embarked on the continuous training program. On 17 July 1920 she was reclassified as a light minelayer and redesignated **DM-10**, A change of home ports followed 19 January 1921 when she arrived at Pearl Harbor for eight years with Mine Squadron 2, Fleet Base Force.

*Ludlow* joined in gunnery practice, mining operations antisubmarine training, and fleet battle problems in the Hawaiian Islands and off the United States West Coast, and in 1929 trained Naval Reserves.

## History

The Road Hammers was founded in 2004 as a project by lead singer and guitarist Jason McCoy, a multiple-time winner of Canadian Country Music Association male vocalist of the year. He stated the idea was to play trucker music, and came together with two other musicians with similar views on music - country-rocker Clayton Bellamy, whose father is a truck driver, and bassist Chris Byrne, a Newfoundlander. In addition to recording their self-titled album, the Road Hammers was also the subject of a reality show of the same name on Country Music Television in Canada.

The album The Road Hammers was released in 2005, and received strong reviews for its Southern rock sound and covers of classic songs. It debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian country albums chart. Covers on the album included "Girl on the Billboard," the 1965 number-one hit for Del Reeves, "East Bound and Down" by Jerry Reed, and Little Feat's "Willin'." In the wake of the album release, The Road Hammers swept to the upper end of the Canadian country charts; four songs reached the top 10 through 2005 and 2006, and the band was nominated for six CCMA Awards winning Group or Duo of the Year. It was also recognized at the Juno Awards for Country Recording of the Year. The album's success continued into 2006, with the Road Hammers receiving two CCMA awards, Group or Duo of the Year and Best Video.

In July 2007, McCoy stated that the band will be part of a second season of its reality show, following its attempts to secure a recording deal with an American label. In late 2007, The Road Hammers signed to an American record label, Montage Music Group and the group's debut American single, "I Don't Know When to Quit" was released on December 10. Their second album, entitled *Blood, Sweat, and Steel*, was released on June 24, 2008.

The Road Hammers released their second Canadian album, *The Road Hammers II*, on February 24, 2009. The album's first single, "Homegrown," has reached the Top 20 of the Canadian country singles chart.

Bellamy and McCoy were contestants on the reality show *Mantracker* on September 6, 2010, where they both beat the hunters to the finish line.

On October 8, 2013, The Road Hammers released a single titled "Get On Down the Road" on iTunes in Canada and the United States.

# 1969 Cincinnati Reds season

The **1969 Cincinnati Reds season** was a season in American baseball. It consisted of the Reds finishing in third place in the newly established National League West, four games behind the National League West champion Atlanta Braves. The Reds were managed by Dave Bristol, and played their home games at Crosley Field, which was in its final full season of operation, before moving into their new facility in the middle of the following season. The Reds led the major leagues this year with 798 runs scored.

## Offseason

### Divisional alignment

1969 not only marked the 100th anniversary of the original Cincinnati Red Stockings being the first fully professional baseball team, but it also marked the first year of divisional play in Major League Baseball. The Reds (along with the Atlanta Braves) were placed in the National League West division, despite being located further east than the two westernmost teams in the NL East division, the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals. This was because the New York Mets wanted to be in the same division as the reigning power in the NL, which were the Cardinals at the time (to compensate for playing against the Dodgers and Giants fewer times each season). The Cubs consequently demanded to be in the NL East as well in order to continue playing in the same division as the Cardinals, one of the Cubs' biggest rivals. A side effect of this alignment is that it set the stage for what is considered one of the greatest pennant races – and comebacks in such a race – in MLB history (see 1969 New York Mets season for more info).

# Vita Student Sheffield

**Vita Student Sheffield** (known as **Telephone House** prior to 2014) is a high-rise building on Wellington Street, near Charter Row in Sheffield city centre. It is 56 metres tall and has sixteen floors. When completed in 1972, it was Sheffield's third-tallest building; as of May 2020, it is now the ninth-tallest.

## History

Completed in 1972, it was until 2012 utilised by BT in order to manage Sheffield's phone networks. It was built on the site of council housing towards the end of the 1960s/1970s regeneration of Sheffield. Part of the lower stories of the building now form a large multi-storey car park.

In January 2012, a business consortium comprising companies Ace Liberty and Stone purchased the building, and BT fully vacated in October later that year. Around 400 BT workers and agency staff were made redundant due to the move, although some employees were offered the chance to take up work at Plusnet's Sheffield offices, as the company is a division of BT.

### Student accommodation

In March 2014, the vacant Telephone House was purchased by developer Vita Student, with the intention of converting the building into 366 'high-standard' apartments for students attending Sheffield's two universities (Hallam and Sheffield). The building was renamed to *Vita Student Sheffield* at this time. The value of the project is estimated at around £35 million and the redevelopment of the building involved a complete refurbishment of the interior and a facelift for the exterior, with all the windows being replaced, while retaining the original look of the building. A sixteenth floor was added containing luxury penthouses and suites. The ground and basement floors, originally used as a car park, are now used for communal facilities such as a gym, cinema, games room, laundry room and reception area.

Refurbishment work began in July 2014 and was completed in August 2015 in time for the 2015–2016 academic year.

# Trinity murders

The **"Trinity murders"** (so named for the high school attended by the victims) occurred in Louisville, Kentucky, on September 29, 1984, when Victor Dewayne Taylor and George Ellis Wade kidnapped and murdered two 17-year-old Trinity High School students, Scott Christopher Nelson and Richard David Stephenson. Taylor was sentenced to death, and Wade was sentenced to life imprisonment.

## Murders

On September 29, 1984, Scott Nelson and Richard David Stephenson were headed to a Trinity High School football game at Manual High School football stadium on East Burnett Avenue in the Schnitzelburg neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, when they became lost. The pair stopped at a Moby Dick restaurant located at the intersection of Logan & Oak Street to get directions, where Victor Taylor and his cousin George Wade said they would lead them to the stadium in exchange for a ride. Nelson and Stephenson were instead taken to a vacant lot in the 300 block of Ardella Ct. near the football stadium of Louisville Male High School where they were forced to take off their clothes, hand over their personal property, and were bound and gagged. After Victor Taylor sexually assaulted one of them, Nelson and Stephenson were shot in the back of the head to avoid the identification of Taylor and Wade.

The widely publicized murders led to the suspects when a relative who had been given a Trinity High school jacket reported George Wade to the police. Wade implicated Victor Taylor in the crime, and the personal belongings of the two murdered students were found in the home of Taylor's mother.

## Trial

After a change of venue motion due to publicity, the trials of Taylor and Wade were moved to Lexington, Kentucky where Taylor was convicted in 1986 of kidnapping, robbery, sodomy, and murder. Wade had previously testified against Taylor but recanted his testimony, which led to Taylor unsuccessfully appealing his conviction. George Wade was convicted of kidnapping, robbery, and murder. Taylor is on death row at the Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville, Kentucky, and George Wade is serving a life sentence at the Kentucky State Reformatory in LaGrange Kentucky.

Wade recanted his statement to the police that Taylor was with him when he kidnapped, sodomized, and killed the boys. Wade made this statement more than eleven years after Taylor's conviction.

In 2000, the clothier Benetton ran a controversial advertising campaign titled "We, On Death Row" which featured Victor Taylor and 24 other death row inmates from around the United States.

Maid-Rite Corporation's CEO and president is Bradley L. Burt. The corporate headquarters are located in Des Moines, Iowa. As of August 2019, Maid-Rite had 32 locations in Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri. The Quincy, Illinois, location was featured in the Food Network show *Feasting on Asphalt*.

## History

Fred Angell was a butcher in Muscatine, Iowa, who combined a special cut and grind of meat with a selected set of spices and created the Maid-Rite sandwich, which is not a traditional hamburger. Rather, it is called a "loose meat" sandwich. While the component meat is similar, the Maid-Rite sandwich's meat is not formed into a patty, making it similar to a sloppy joe without the tomato-based sauce.

### Restaurants

Angell opened his first restaurant in Muscatine, which was strictly walk-up. Later, a new eat-in building was opened. He and his son, Francis Angell, opened a second restaurant, featuring a "car hop" or drive-in service. This was the first such service of this kind in the United States; A&W Restaurants and White Castle Restaurants replicated this service shortly thereafter.

The first franchise was opened in Durant, Iowa, which still maintains a Maid-Rite restaurant. Maid-Rite began to grow in the number of franchises throughout the United States under the direction of William Angell, the grandson of the founder.

## Sale

The Angell family had controlling interest in the franchise until 1984, when it was sold to a partnership of Clayton Blue, a farmer from Russell, Iowa, and John Gillotti, a contractor from Des Moines. (The original Maid-Rite restaurants in Muscatine were sold to Gary Kopf, a local businessman who also operated vending companies, family restaurants and bakeries.)

Blue had plans to expand the chain into a worldwide operation and sell stock to the public; however, after Blue defaulted on the contract to buy Maid-Rite, Gillotti purchased the chain outright in 1988. Gillotti died in 1991, prompting a legal battle between Blue's family and Gillotti's heirs over the chain's ownership. After the Polk County District Court issued an injunction in 1992 that prohibited any new Maid-Rite franchises, the court awarded the Gillotti family ownership of the 138-store chain in 1995. Issues with franchise fees and product quality led to a number of restaurants closing, however, and by 2002 the number of Maid-Rite stores had dropped to 83.

In 2002, an investor group led by former Des Moines banker Bradley Burt purchased a majority interest in the Maid-Rite chain, with the Gillotti family retaining an interest. While up to 20 longtime franchisees left Maid-Rite during the first two years of its new ownership, Maid-Rite began to use computerized systems to control expenses, started offering ten-day courses on Maid-Rite food preparation to new franchise owners, and created a new uniform decor for its restaurants that retains the Maid-Rite brand's nostalgia. In 2006, Maid-Rite had a ten-year plan to open more than 1,000 restaurants throughout the United States.

In November 2007, Maid-Rite announced an agreement with Hy-Vee Food Stores, a Midwest-based grocer, to operate restaurants in their stores.

As of August 2023, there are 20 locations in Iowa, and 11 locations in other states.

# Ljutic Space Gun

The **Ljutic Space Gun** is a 12 gauge single-shot shotgun intended for trap shooting. Originally designed in 1955, the firearm has since been discontinued.

## History

With his father, Al Ljutic ran the Ljutic Gun Company (Now Ljutic Industries) in the vicinity of Fresno, California. In 1955, AA Reil, a friend and Remington field rep, invited Al to go trap shooting the day after. Al realized after that he didn't own a trap gun. Instead of buying one Al designed and built one by the end of the day. This became the template for the Ljutic Space Gun.

Only about 200 of the shotgun variant were made, making the firearm run anywhere from $2,500 to $3,000 on the secondary market (2013). However the weapon was also offered in single-shot rifle variants, using a 24-inch barrel, which began being produced in 1981. These were chambered in .22-250, .30/30 Win, .308 Win, and 30.06 calibers. With less than 20,000 total shotgun and rifle variants being made.

title: 1972 Moroccan coup attempt

abstract: The 1972 Moroccan coup attempt was an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate King Hassan II of Morocco on 16 August 1972. The attempted coup d'état occurred in Morocco when a rebel faction within the Moroccan military attempted to shoot down an aircraft carrying the King of Morocco, Hassan II. The attempt was orchestrated by General Mohamed Oufkir, a close advisor to King Hassan. He was assisted by Mohamed Amekrane, commander of the Moroccan air force base at Kenitra. The coup and protests aimed at overthrowing the authoritarian monarchy of King Hassan and his Alaouite dynasty in Morocco and forming a democratic republic that represented the Moroccan people instead. On August 16, four Northrop F-5 jets, acting on Oufkir's orders, intercepted King Hassan's Boeing 727 as it returned from France. Reportedly, King Hassan grabbed the radio and told the rebel pilots, "Stop firing! The tyrant is dead!" Fooled, the rebel pilots broke off their attack, believing that their mission had been accomplished. Hassan's plane, which had been strafed by the air force jets, killing eight and injuring 40, landed safely at Rabat's airport.

# 1972 Moroccan coup attempt

The **1972 Moroccan coup attempt** was an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate King Hassan II of Morocco on 16 August 1972. The attempted coup d'état occurred in Morocco when a rebel faction within the Moroccan military attempted to shoot down an aircraft carrying the King of Morocco, Hassan II. The attempt was orchestrated by General Mohamed Oufkir, a close advisor to King Hassan. He was assisted by Mohamed Amekrane, commander of the Moroccan air force base at Kenitra. The coup and protests aimed at overthrowing the authoritarian monarchy of King Hassan and his Alaouite dynasty in Morocco and forming a democratic republic that represented the Moroccan people instead. On August 16, four Northrop F-5 jets, acting on Oufkir's orders, intercepted King Hassan's Boeing 727 as it returned from France. Reportedly, King Hassan grabbed the radio and told the rebel pilots, "Stop firing! The tyrant is dead!" Fooled, the rebel pilots broke off their attack, believing that their mission had been accomplished.

Hassan's plane, which had been strafed by the air force jets, killing eight and injuring 40, landed safely at Rabat's airport.

## Background

The coup occurred a year after another attempted military coup against King Hassan II's regime. 250 rebels based in the Ahermoumou cadet training school attacked the King's palace on his 42nd birthday, killing 91 people and injuring 133.

Oufkir had gained power after the coup in 1971, moving from the Minister of Interior to Minister of Defence. Many had believed he planned the first coup to facilitate this rise.

## Attack

On 16 August 1972, as King Hassan was returning to Morocco from a personal visit to France, four Royal Moroccan Air Force pilots, flying Northrop F-5 fighter jets, attacked the Boeing 727, It was said that Major Kouera el-Ouafi led this attack. The planes shot holes through the fuselage, killing some passengers. During the attack, Major Kouera el-Ouafi plane's was damaged and was forced to bail out, but was captured shortly afterward. One plane broke off, strafing a nearby airfield and killing many on the ground.

Allegedly, the rebel pilots broke off their attack on the King's aircraft after the King himself grabbed the radio and told the rebel pilots, "Stop firing! The tyrant is dead!" Believing their mission to have been accomplished, the rebel pilots broke off their attack.

Eight passengers on the royal jet were killed and forty injured, however, the jet was able to land safely at Rabat airport.

Following the arrest of individuals alleged to have taken part in the failed coup attempt, 220 men were prosecuted, all of whom were officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers from the Kenitra air force installation. Most of them had only carried out the directives.

## Aftermath

Kenitra Air Base, where most of the rebellious air force officers were based, was surrounded and hundreds arrested.

Oufkir was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds later on 16 August, ostensibly from suicide when he learned the King knew of the betrayal. Many of his relatives were imprisoned, not being released until 1991, speculated to be because of international criticism for possible human rights abuses. General Mohamed Amekrane fled to Gibraltar after the coup's failure; he failed to receive asylum and was extradited back to Morocco where he was executed by firing squad.
