# Vīrya (Hinduism)

***Vīrya*** (Sanskrit वीर्य) literally means "state of a strong man" or "manliness." In Hindu Vedic literature, the term is often associated with heroism and virility. In Brahmacharya in Hinduism, Virya also refers to semen in a male and it is considered to be the 'vital fluid'. Loss of Virya from the body is avoided in Brahmacharya.

## Vedic literature

*Vīryà* as "manly" and "hero" can be found, for instance, in the following excerpts from the Rig Veda (RV).

### RV, Mandala 1, Hymn 32, v. 1

1. I will declare the manly deeds of Indra, the first that he achieved, the Thunder-wielder. He slew the Dragon, then disclosed the waters, and cleft the channels of the mountain torrents.

### RV, Mandala 1, Hymn 103, vv. 5-7

5. See this abundant wealth that he possesses, and put your trust in Indra's hero vigour. He found the cattle, and he found the horses, he found the plants, the forests and the waters. 6. To him the truly strong, whose deeds are many, to him the strong Bull let us pour the Soma. The Hero, watching like a thief in ambush, goes parting the possessions of the godless. 7. Well didst thou do that hero deed, O Indra, in waking with thy bolt the slumbering Ahi. In thee, delighted, Dames divine rejoiced them, the flying Maruts and all Gods were joyful.  * Vīrya \- for the Buddhist definition of this term

title: Tenshin Bukō-ryū Heihō

abstract: Tenshin Bukō-ryū heihō (天真武甲流兵法) is a Japanese koryū martial art which has its roots in the Toda-ryū, founded in the late Muromachi period c. 1560 by Toda Seigen. The ryū contains an extensive curriculum of weapon-arts centering on naginatajutsu (naginata, kagitsuki naginata, & nagamaki, but also sōjutsu, bōjutsu kenjutsu and kusarigamajutsu. Toda-ryu was adopted by the Suneya family in the mountainous Chichibu region. Among other weapons, the clan apparently focused on the naginata, and its study, over many generations, was known as Suneya-kei naginatajutsu. In the mid-1800s, Suneya Ryōsuke and Suneya Sato-o, husband and wife, initiated a renaissance of the martial tradition. This became the Toda-ha Bukō-ryū. From Ryōsuke and Sato-o, Toda-ha Bukō-ryū divided into two lines, one located in its ancestral home in Chichibu and the other in Tokyo. The Chichibu line died out in the first part of the 20th century. The Tokyo line was continued by Komatsuzaki Koto-o and Yazawa Isao, two students of the Suneya. Most of their students are unknown, and with one exception, there is little evidence that any of them continued teaching in subsequent generations. The sole exception was Murakami Hideo, who was first a student of Komatsuzaki and then Yazawa. Only one of her students, Kobayashi Seio, continued the line, which she then passed to Nitta Suzuo, the 19th generation sōke. She was followed by the 20th generation sōke, Nakamura Yoichi. Before his untimely death, Nakamura appointed Kent Sorensen, director of central Funabashi dojo in Chiba, Japan, as sōkedairi of Toda-ha Bukō-ryū. In 2022, Sorensen, with the support of all shihan, initiated a second renaissance of the school, changing the name to Tenshin Bukō-ryū heihō. Beyond the Funabashi dojo, there are active dojo in France, the United States, Canada and Australia.

# Thomas L. Bromwell

**Thomas L. Bromwell** (born March 9, 1949) is a former Democratic state senator in Maryland, United States.

## Background

Bromwell was first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1979 to represent District 9 in Baltimore County, Maryland and Baltimore. In 1983, he successfully ran for the seat of District 8 in the Maryland State Senate. In 1986, Bromwell defeated Republican challenger Edward J. Glusing Jr., 73% to 27%. In 1990, Bromwell won a closer election, this time defeating Republican William Rush, 54% to 46%. The general election in 1994 was similar to 1990, and Bromwell defeated Republican John J. Bishop with 55% of the vote to Bishop's 45%. In 1998, Bromwell again faced William Rush, this time handily defeating his Republican challenger by capturing 68% of the vote to Rush's 32%.

Bromwell resigned his seat in 2002 to head the Maryland Injured Workers' Insurance Fund or IWIF, a state agency. Governor Parris Glendening appointed John R. Schneider to replace Bromwell in District 8. Schneider died only two months after his appointment, and Governor Glendening then appointed Joseph T. Ferraracci to the seat. However, Ferraracci did not run for election in 2002. Katherine A. Klausmeier ran for the seat as a Democrat and won.

## Education

Bromwell attended Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. After high school, he received his associate degree in business from Essex Community College, now known as one of the campuses of the Community Colleges of Baltimore County, in 1972.

## Career

Bromwell served a long and noted career in the Maryland State Senate. He was the chair of many committees over his career including the Finance Committee from 1995 to 2002, Workers' Compensation Benefit and Insurance Oversight Committee from 1987 to 1994, State Senate Rules Committee from 1991 to 1995, and the Baltimore County Delegation from 1985 to 1994.

In addition to Bromwell's political career, he also owned and managed a construction company, Dallas Construction. In 2001, Federal prosecutors began secretly taping conversations with Bromwell when they suspected he was involved in racketeering. Bromwell paid the property manager of the Candler Building over $6000 to direct contract work to his company, Dallas Construction. In addition, Bromwell then directed work and benefits to W. David Stoffregen and his company, Poole and Kent. Bromwell reportedly received over $190,000 free construction at his million dollar shore front residence from Stoffregen. The case against Bromwell also indicated that he may have used his political power and influence to help get work for such projects as M&T Bank Stadium and a new juvenile detention center.

During the trial, Bromwell had more than one attorney. One of the lawyers fought to have some of the tapings removed from evidence. The recordings included Bromwell's profanity-ridden racial and sexual epithets, including barbs against the Lieutenant Governor.

In 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Bromwell, his wife Mary Patricia Bromwell, and Stoffregen. The claim of the lawsuit was that Bromwell's *"Alleged Purpose of Scheme Was to Influence Thomas Bromwell in His Official Capacity as a Maryland State Senator".* The 30-count indictment included conspiring to violation the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, wire fraud, mail fraud, and extortion.

On October 31, 2005, Bromwell pleaded not-guilty to all charges. It was expected that he could be sentenced to up to 8 years in prison if found guilty. There was some criticism of First Mariner Bancorp because they continued to maintain Bromwell as a member of the board of directors.

On November 16, 2007, Thomas Bromwell was sentenced to 7 years in prison by U.S. District Court Judge J. Frederick Motz. Meanwhile, Bromwell's wife was sentenced to a year and a day for collecting money for her no-show job. She served her sentence first, then Thomas Bromwell was released in February 2013 to a community reintegration program, with final release scheduled for August 2013.

title: Nu Horologii

abstract: Nu Horologii, Latinized from ν Horologii, is the Bayer designation for a single star in the southern constellation of Horologium. It was catalogued by the Dutch explorer Frederick de Houtman in 1603. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.3, this star can be seen with the naked eye from the southern hemisphere. Based upon parallax, Nu Horologii lies at a distance of 169 light-years from Earth. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of +31 km/s.

# Nu Horologii

**Nu Horologii**, Latinized from ν Horologii, is the Bayer designation for a single star in the southern constellation of Horologium. It was catalogued by the Dutch explorer Frederick de Houtman in 1603. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.3, this star can be seen with the naked eye from the southern hemisphere. (According to the Bortle scale, it can be seen at night from bright suburban skies.) Based upon parallax, Nu Horologii lies at a distance of 169 light-years from Earth. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of +31 km/s.

## Physical characteristics

The stellar classification of A2 V indicates that it is an A-type main sequence star that is generating energy through thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium at its core. Nu Horologii is larger and hotter than the Sun, with 190% of the Sun's mass, 188% of the radius of the Sun, and it shines with 16.7 times the solar luminosity. This is a young star with an estimated age of 540 million years, and it is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 144 km/s along the equator. The effective temperature of the photosphere is 8,308 K, giving it the white-hued glow of an A-type star.

## Debris Disk

No orbiting companions down to the mass of a brown dwarf have been discovered within a radius of 150 AU of Nu Horologii. However, it is emitting an infrared excess that suggests it is being orbited by a debris disk of dust particles. The mean temperature of this disk is 56 K and it appears to have two components: an inner disk is orbiting at a distance of 96+9
−37 AU, while an outer disk lies 410+24
−96 AU from the star. The estimated mass of the disks is (1.3±0.7)×10−3 times the mass of the Earth. The disks may be viewed edge on, which limits the amount of detail that can be discerned.

Based upon their respective motions through space, ν Horologii had a close encounter with the star Alpha Fornacis some 351,200 years ago. The two stars came within 0.081+0.6250
−0.0488 pc of each other; close enough to disrupt their respective (hypothetical) Oort clouds. Potentially, the interaction may have produced asymmetries in the Nu Horologii debris disk, and could cause comet showers that increase the dust content. However, it is unlikely that the encounter was the cause of the disk itself.

title: Nuraghe Is Paras

abstract: The nuraghe Is Paras is an archeological site of Isili, a town in the historical region of Sarcidano, province of South Sardinia. The nuraghe is located in a strategic position dominating the underlying territories open to the West. Its shape is that of a trilobate nuraghe, formed by a triangular bastion with three towers at the corners. According to the archaeologist Giovanni Lilliu its tholos is the largest and most harmonious of all those present in Sardinia. The diameter of the base of the tower is of about 12,50 meters, its tholos chamber reached a height of 11,80 meters, making it the tallest dome in the world when it was built in the 15-14th century bc, it was surpassed by the underground tholos of the tomb of Atreus one or two centuries later. Inside the main tower there's a circular well. Originally there was an additional chamber on top of the first one, which would be reached through the still partially extant spiral staircase. Three smaller towers were added around the main one during the 13th century bc and connected by a wall. The complex was in turn surrounded by an external wall with towers.

title: OPEC siege

text:
# OPEC siege

On 21 December 1975, six terrorists attacked the semi-annual meeting of OPEC leaders in Vienna, Austria; the attackers took more than 60 hostages after killing an Austrian policeman, an Iraqi OPEC security officer, and a Libyan economist. Several other individuals were wounded. The self-named "Arm of the Arab Revolution" group was led by Carlos the Jackal. The siege resulted in complex diplomatic negotiations. It ended two days later, after flights to Algiers and Tripoli, with all the hostages and terrorists walking away from the situation. The fact that this was one of the first times that Arab states were targeted by terrorists also led to them being more cooperative in developing antiterrorism efforts at the United Nations.

## Background

At his trial, the former terrorist Hans-Joachim Klein revealed that the masterminds of the attack came from Libya. He testified in court in 2000 that the information about the security measures at the conference and the weapons came from Libya. Only under this condition could the campaign have been started.

## Siege

On 21 December 1975, Saudi Arabian Minister of Petroleum Ahmed Zaki Yamani and the other oil ministers of the members of OPEC were taken hostage in Vienna, Austria, where the ministers were attending a meeting at the OPEC headquarters at Dr-Karl-Lueger-Ring 10 (renamed Universitätsring in 2012). The hostage attack was orchestrated by a six-person team led by Venezuelan terrorist Carlos the Jackal (which included two West Germans Gabriele Kröcher-Tiedemann, Hans-Joachim Klein, Lebanese Anis al-Naqqash and Syrian Kamal Kheir Beik). The self-named "Arm of the Arab Revolution" group called for the liberation of Palestine. Carlos planned to take over the conference by force and kidnap all eleven oil ministers in attendance and hold them for ransom, with the exception of Ahmed Zaki Yamani and Iran's oil minister Jamshid Amuzegar, who were to be executed.

Carlos led his team past two Austrian police officers in the building's lobby and up to the first floor, where a police officer, an Iraqi plainclothes security guard and a young Libyan economist, Yusuf al-Azmarly, were shot dead.

As Carlos entered the conference room and fired shots into the ceiling, the delegates ducked under the table. The terrorists searched for Ahmed Zaki Yamani and then divided the sixty-three hostages into groups. Delegates of friendly countries were moved toward the door, 'neutrals' were placed in the centre of the room and the 'enemies' were placed along the back wall, next to a stack of explosives.

This last group included delegates from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Carlos demanded that a bus be provided to take his group and the hostages to the airport, where a DC-9 airplane and crew would be waiting. In the meantime, Carlos briefed Yamani on his plan to eventually fly to Aden, South Yemen where Yamani and Amuzegar would be killed. During the attack Hans-Joachim Klein was shot and injured; however, Carlos refused to leave him behind and demanded medical assistance. Kurdish-born doctor Wiriya Rawenduzy, who was living and working in Vienna, volunteered to accompany the terrorists on board in exchange for the hostages' safe release upon arrival.

Carlos threatened the execution of a hostage every 15 minutes and demanded that the Austrian authorities read a communiqué about the Palestinian cause on Austrian radio and television networks every two hours. To avoid the executions, the Austrian government agreed and the communiqué was broadcast as requested. The communiqué was written in French and demanded that the Arab world wage a "total liberation war". As requested, a bus was provided the following morning at 6:40 and 42 hostages were boarded and taken to Vienna International Airport. The Viennese police said that 96 hostages were taken during the siege, though around 50 hostages resident in Vienna were freed.

## Flight

An Austrian Airlines DC-9 was provided for the group and was airborne just after 9:00, with explosives placed under Yamani's seat. The plane first stopped in Algiers, where Carlos left the plane to meet with the Algerian Foreign minister Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Five oil ministers and 31 other hostages were released, while five oil ministers remained captive.

The refueled plane left for Tripoli, where there was trouble in acquiring another plane as had been planned. Carlos decided to instead return to Algiers and change to a Boeing 707, a plane large enough to fly to Baghdad nonstop. Ten more hostages were released before leaving.

With only ten hostages remaining, the Boeing 707 left for Algiers and arrived at 3:40 a.m. After leaving the plane to meet with the Algerians, Carlos talked with his colleagues in the front cabin of the plane and then told Yamani and Amuzegar that they would be released at mid-day. Carlos was then called from the plane a second time and returned after two hours.

At this second meeting it is believed that Carlos held a phone conversation with Algerian President Houari Boumédienne, who informed Carlos that the oil ministers' deaths would result in an attack on the plane. Yamani's biography suggests that the Algerians had used a covert listening device on the front of the aircraft to overhear the earlier conversation between the terrorists, and found that Carlos had in fact still planned to murder the two oil ministers. Boumédienne must also have offered Carlos asylum at this time and possibly financial compensation for failing to complete his assignment.

On returning to the plane, Carlos stood before Yamani and Amuzegar and expressed his regret at not being able to murder them. He then told the hostages that he and his comrades would leave the plane, after which they would all be free. After waiting for the terrorists to leave, Yamani and the other nine hostages followed and were taken to the airport by Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelaziz Bouteflika. The terrorists were present in the next lounge and Khalid, the Palestinian, asked to speak to Yamani. As his hand reached for his coat, Khalid was surrounded by guards and a gun was found concealed in a holster. All the hostages and terrorists walked away from the situation, two days after it began.

## Aftermath

In the years following the OPEC raid, Carlos's accomplices revealed that the operation was commanded by Wadie Haddad, a founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. They also claimed that the idea and funding came from an Arab president, widely thought to be Libya's Muammar al-Gaddafi. Fellow militants Bassam Abu Sharif and Klein claimed that Carlos received and kept a ransom between US$20 million and US$50 million from "an Arab president". Carlos claimed that Saudi Arabia paid ransom on behalf of Iran, but that the money was "diverted en route and lost by the Revolution". He was finally captured in 1994 in Khartoum, Sudan, and is serving life sentences for at least 16 other murders.

### Films

The 1997 film *The Assignment* depicts the OPEC siege early in the film.

The 2010 Olivier Assayas-directed series *Carlos* documented the life of Ramírez Sánchez. The film won a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries or Television Movie. Carlos was played by the Venezuelan actor Édgar Ramírez.

**WGBJ** (102.3 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Auburn, Indiana, and serving the Fort Wayne metropolitan area. It is owned by Sarkes Tarzian and it broadcasts an alternative rock radio format, known as "Alt 99.5 & 102.3". The studios and offices are on West Berry Street in Fort Wayne.

WGBJ has an effective radiated power of 6,000 watts. The transmitter is on Quincy Street in Altona, Indiana, about 30 miles north of Fort Wayne. Programming is also heard on 115-watt FM translator W258BY at 99.5 MHz in Fort Wayne. The translator helps listeners in Fort Wayne who might have trouble receiving the 102.3 signal.

## History

### Early years

The station first went on the air April 10, 1967, as WIFF on 105.5 MHz; it became WIFF-FM on May 10, 1968, ahead of the launch of WIFF (1570 AM). The call sign was changed to WDKB-FM on November 5, 1979, and back to WIFF-FM in 1981.

### Country, AC and modern rock

In 1993, the station moved to 102.3 as WGTB, and aired a country music format. This lasted until January 1994, when it flipped to adult contemporary. It would switch flip back to country, and then to adult standards. In early 1999, the station flipped to Top 40/CHR as "Z102.3", WCKZ.

In March 2001, WCKZ became WEJE, taking the call sign and modern rock format of the former "Extreme 96.3", which changed to a country format.

### Regional Mexican and Top 40

In September 2001, the station rebranded as "X102.3", with new call letters WXTW assigned shortly afterward. Following a sale from Summit City Radio Group to Three Amigos Broadcasting, WXTW adopted a Spanish-language regional Mexican format as "Mega 102.3" at midnight on September 1, 2006.

On September 21, 2009, the station adopted the slogan "Power 102.3" and flipped from regional Mexican to a contemporary hit radio format. This move returned Top 40 hits to the Fort Wayne radio market. On February 2, 2010, the station changed its moniker to "The Killer B102.3".

In the late hours of Saturday, April 3, 2010, WGBJ again changed formats from Top 40/CHR back to a Spanish contemporary format and started once again calling itself "Power 102.3". The top 40 format remained absent in the Fort Wayne area until WJFX flipped to that format in 2012.

### Alternative rock

On January 9, 2019, Sarkes Tarzian, Inc. acquired WGBJ—which by then had returned to regional Mexican as "*La Unica 102.3*"—for $515,000 and flipped it to a simulcast of WAJI-HD2 which was carrying an alternative rock format. Programming is also heard on FM translator W258BY at 99.5 FM in Fort Wayne. The two stations were now branded as "Alt 99.5 & 102.3".

On June 20, 2019, WGBJ rebranded as "Alt 102.3" as the 99.5 translator changed to a CHR format as "99.5 The Twenty-FM". On September 8, 2022, at noon, WGBJ readded FM translator W258BY and returned to the brand "Alt 99.5 & 102.3".(The "Twenty" format continues online and on WAJI-HD3.).

title: Teppo (name)

abstract: Teppo is a male Finnish name that originated as a diminutive of the name Tapani. It is quite an uncommon first name, and is derived from Stefanos, a Greek name that means, roughly translated, "laurel" or "crowned" or "crown". The name made its way through the Russian name Stefan to Karelian Stjoppi, from where it came to the Finnish version — Teppo. However, some claim the name's origin is the Greek name Teofilus or Teodor. In Finland, Teppo was the name of a pagan god, "Travel-Teppo", who was prayed to in order to guide the way and bless travels. In the 19th century, it began to be used as a normal first name. The most popular time for the name Teppo was from 1960–1980. In 2005, 3841 men had been given the name Teppo. Teppo can also be a last name, but it is quite rare.

It is quite an uncommon first name, and is derived from *Stefanos*, a Greek name that means, roughly translated, "laurel" or "crowned" or "crown". The name made its way through the Russian name Stefan (nickname Stepan, or Stjopa) to Karelian Stjoppi, from where it came to the Finnish version — Teppo. However, some claim the name's origin is the Greek name *Teofilus* (God's friend) or *Teodor* (God's gift).

In Finland, Teppo was the name of a pagan god, "Travel-Teppo", who was prayed to in order to guide the way and bless travels. In the 19th century, it began to be used as a normal first name. The most popular time for the name Teppo was from 1960–1980. In 2005, 3841 men had been given the name Teppo.

Teppo can also be a last name, but it is quite rare.

# Thomas L. Ashley

**Thomas William Ludlow** "**Lud**" **Ashley** (January 11, 1923  June 15, 2010) was an American businessman and politician of the Democratic Party. He served as a U.S. representative from Ohio from 1955 to 1981.

## Early life and education

Ashley was born on January 11, 1923, in Toledo, Ohio, and raised in the Old West End. He was the son of Mary Alida Gouverneur (née Ludlow) Ashley and William Meredith Ashley, who owned a small steel manufacturing firm. His older brother William was killed in May 1944, at age 22, when his Army bomber exploded during a training mission over Massachusetts.

Ashley attended Maumee Valley Country Day School and graduated from the Kent School in Connecticut in 1942. During World War II, he served in the United States Army as a corporal in the Pacific Theater of Operations. After the war, Ashley attended Yale University, where he graduated in 1948. At Yale, he was a member of the secret society Skull and Bones along with future U.S. President George H. W. Bush.

After graduating from Yale, Ashley worked with the Toledo Publicity and Efficiency Commission. Encouraged by Michael DiSalle, then mayor of Toledo and later governor of Ohio, he began studying law through night classes at the University of Toledo College of Law. He graduated from Ohio State University College of Law in 1951. He was admitted to the bar that year and began practicing law.

## Career

Ashley joined the staff of Radio Free Europe (RFE) in 1952. He served in Europe for RFE as the co-director of the press section and later the assistant director of special projects. He resigned from RFE on March 1, 1954, to run for Congress.

### U.S. Congress

Ashley was elected to Congress in 1954, beating the incumbent Frazier Reams, an independent, by 4,000 votes in a three-way race. He served 13 terms in Congress and was chairman of the Select Committee on Energy (Ad Hoc) from 1977 to 1979 and of the United States House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries from 1979 to 1981.

In 1961, Ashley was one of six congressmen who voted to withdraw funding for the House Un-American Activities Committee. He helped pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act and was a proponent of anti-poverty and housing legislation.

In 1980, Ashley lost in an upset to Republican challenger Ed Weber.

### Later career

Ashley was a member of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum board and served on many corporate boards, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the country's two largest mortgage lenders.

## Personal life

Ashley was twice married. He married Margaret Mary Sherman in 1956 and had a daughter but they separated and divorced quickly thereafter. He married Kathleen Lucey in 1967 at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in Trenton, New Jersey. Kathleen, the daughter of Charley Lucey (editor of *The Times Newspapers* in Trenton), was a graduate of Trinity College and Georgetown Law School and the Washington editor for the United States Savings and Loan League. They had two children:

* William Meredith Ashley, who married Monica Ann Manginello in 2008.
* Mark Michael Ashley

Kathleen Ashley died of heart failure at George Washington University Hospital in 1997. Lud Ashley lived in Leland, Michigan, until his death from melanoma at his home on June 15, 2010. After his death, George H. W. Bush said in a statement that he and Barbara Bush "mourn the loss of a very close friend" and said Ashley "might well have been my very best friend in life."

Ashley was the great-great-grandson of James Mitchell Ashley, who was a U.S. Representative from Ohio from 1859 to 1869, and was one of the main architects of the Thirteenth Amendment.

# Twinkle Crusaders

***Twinkle Crusaders*** (ティンクル☆くるせいだーす, *Teinkuru Kuruseidāsu*, commonly abbreviated as Kurukuru (クルくる)) is a Japanese visual novel developed by Lillian, and was originally released as an adult game for Windows on September 26, 2008. The game is described by the development team as a "Heart-pounding exciting student council love comedy" (どきどきワクワク生徒会ラブコメ, *Dokidoki Wakuwaku Seitokai Rabukome*). The gameplay in *Twinkle Crusaders* follows a linear plot line, which offers pre-determined scenarios and courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the five female main characters.

*Twinkle Crusaders* has also been adapted into four manga adaptations: a four-panel comic strip adaptation was serialized in the bishōjo magazine *Dengeki Hime*, a second adaptation was serialized irregularly in *Dengeki Daioh* and concluded with four chapters, an adult one-shot manga chapter was published in the adult magazine *Megastore*, and a fourth adaptation entitled *Twinkle Crusaders GoGo!* was serialized in *Dengeki Daioh*.

## Plot

The player assumes the role of Shin Sakura (咲良シン, *Sakura Shin*), the protagonist of *Twinkle Crusaders*. Shin is the student council president of Ryūsei Academy (流星学園, *Ryūsei Gakuen*), a position which he thought came with free meals from the cafeteria, as he has been raised in a poor family and is in need of money. Unfortunately there's no such thing as a free meal.

Synn Sakura (咲良シン, *Sakura Shin*) *Voiced by:* Mitsuki Saiga Main protagonist of the series. He comes from a poor family but became the student council president of Ryuusei Academy through sheer dumb luck, out of a sole desire for free food (which ended up not coming true). As it turns out, one of the jobs of the council is to fight off demons, or Mazoku. This is particularly troublesome for Shin, since his father is the previous maou (demon lord), and he himself is to be his successor. He later goes on to take on his role, but still continues to fight for good. In battle Shin uses the dark element, and has two forms. His first form is prior to his ascendance to maou, and his title is *Vicious Lancer*. In this form, he has average stats all-around except "Potential," which is maxed out. This leads into his second form as maou, titled Ancient Overlord, where he receives a boost in power, attack speed, and charge speed, as well as changing his hair color white. Nanaka Yuugiri (夕霧ナナカ, *Yūgiri Nanaka*) *Voiced by:* Keito Mizukiri One of the five heroines, she is Synn's lively childhood friend. Nanaka has a crush on Shin and has been following him around since she was young, enrolling in the same school and joining the student council, where she is the accountant. She likes sweet confectioneries and is the president of the sweets club at school. She holds a grudge against the president of the wagashi (Japanese Sweets) Club Akane Misasagi(御陵彩錦). While the sweets club receives no budget from the school and not even recognized as a proper club, Misasagi's wagashi club have "wagashi for thought" and was recognized as a club (though only in name). Her title is *Sword Master*). In battle, Nanaka has fire-based attacks, and is the powerhouse of the original group. In her first form, her power is on par with Shin's upgraded form, but her own upgraded form increases her power to go even further beyond that. Her speed and charge are average, with her support being below average in her first form, and average in her second. She's not the best in unisons, but in exchange, she can deal substantial damage even if she attacks solo. She's also the main protagonist of the anime series. Lolotte Rosenkreuz (ロロット・ローゼンクロイツ, *Rorotto Rōzenkuroitsu*) *Voiced by:* Motomi Nanaho A first-year student and the student council's secretary. Despite her attempts to hide the fact that she's actually an angel, it is generally known to the other characters, unbeknownst to her. Despite her looks and her voice, she's a real foul-mouth, though without any malicious intent. She is always carrying "Tontoro," a piggy bank filled with 500 yen, and always breaking it. She also carries a guidebook around that seems to have everything in context (although the usages are often wrong). Her family, the Rosenkreuz family, includes some of Ryuusei City's multimillionaires. She commutes by car, and her butler Riesling never leaves her side outside the school ground. Her title is *Elemental Muse*. In battle she uses water element and her power is not strong; her speed is unpredictable as well with a decent charge, making her support in some battles. Misa Brigitta Cristelis (聖沙・ブリジッタ・クリステレス, *Misa Burijitta Kurisuteresu*) *Voiced by:* Kayo Sakata *Twinkle Crusaders*'s third heroine and the student council's vice-president. Misa thinks of Shin as a rival, and always challenges him despite always ending up in second, falling behind Shin. She is especially annoyed about losing the election, which Shin won by chance. She has her cousin Shion Asuka i(飛鳥井紫苑) (who actually calls her "姉上(Big Sister)") as her assistant in some battles. Ria Kujoh (九浄リア, *Kujō Ria*) *Voiced by:* Yuki Sakata The fourth heroine in *Twinkle Crusaders*, Ria, is a clumsy and soft-spoken third year student. Ria serves as an adviser to the student council due to her past experience as the student council president. She enjoys wagashi and participates in the wagashi club at school. She's also the younger sister of the current chief director Helena (ヘレナ) who was in the current student council's shoes when she was a student. Helana assists Ria is some battles. Azel (アゼル, *Azeru*) *Voiced by:* Rumi Abe Azel is the final heroine in *Twinkle Crusaders*, a second-year student who transferred into Shin's class in the middle of the story. Azel is very quiet and has a cold attitude towards others. She does not participate in any school activities, and like Shin, comes from a poor family. Shion Asukai (飛鳥井紫苑, *Asukai Shion*) *Voiced by:* Akiko Hasegawa Misa's cousin, she is the shrine maiden of the Asukai Shrine and she assists Misa during battles. Like the twinkle crusaders, she too hunts demons due to her role, but she is somewhat reckless while hunting and destroys part of the street while Synn and Misa are passing by. Sacchiho Takahashi (高橋, *Takahashi Sachiho*) *Voiced by:* Asami Shimoda Close friend of Nanaka. Nickname “Sacchin”. A very positive personality -- just talking with her will make one feel lazy -- but surprisingly, she has a dark side. She is one of the few members of Sweets Association but often pisses Nanaka off since she likes anything sweet in general, including Japanese treats. Has poor academic grades, but has insights on life. She has a sharp sense on relationships -- when Synn chose other people she will comfort Nanaka. Akane Misasagi (御陵彩錦, *Misasagi Akane*) A classmate of Ria and President of the Wagashi club.

## Gameplay

Twinkle Crusaders is a combination of visual novel and turn-based strategy game. The novel portion consists of large amounts of often comedic conversations between characters, based on selections the player makes. There are also a lot of Easter eggs hidden within the game that can be discovered by choosing certain options during gameplay. The battle portion of the game consists of turn-based "scenes" where the player must reduce the opponent's Hit Points (HP) to zero using various battle strategies. In order to proceed with the story, the player must successfully defeat the enemy.

## Development

*Twinkle Crusaders* was first announced as the first project to be developed by the visual novel developer Lillian in the Japanese bishōjo magazine *Tech Gian*, on November 21, 2006. Art direction and character designs were provided by Rei Kannagi and Kotamaru who assisted Kannagi in the process. While the scenario in the game was worked on by Shigeta and Hideto Mayura, with Hozumi Nakamoto who provided assistance in the preparation of the story. The music in the game was composed entirely by Amedio. With the exception of Hozumi Nakamoto, the entire development team has previously worked on previous titles developed by Pajamas Soft, such as *Prism Ark*.

### Release

Before the game's release, three game demos were distributed online at the visual novel's official website, while a separate demo were distributed at retail stores. The demos gave the player a glimpse into the characters and the story of the game, and also introduced the player to the gameplay system, typically the battle system used in the game. The full game was first released on September 26, 2008, as both a limited edition and a premium edition. The limited edition release included the game itself, an arrange album titled *Kira-kira Sound Festival*, an art collection by twelve different artists, and a clear plastic casing. The premium edition release included the extras found in the limited edition release along with a silver necklace, and is limited to one-thousand units. An all-ages version entitled *Twinkle Crusaders GoGo!* was released for the PlayStation Portable published by ASCII Media Works on September 9, 2010, and contains additional content not found in the original release, namely a new heroine and promoting a sub heroine to heroine status. A release for windows 7 named *Twinkled Crusader Remaster* was released on 24 June 2010, since this was released before *Twinkled Crusaders GoGo!*, it does not contain the extra content from it.

### Internet radio show

An internet radio show to promote the *Twinkle Crusaders*, titled *Radio Twinkle Crusaders* (RADiO ティンクル☆くるせいだーす, *Radio Teinkuru Kuruseidāsu*) was first streamed online on August 27, 2008, as a pre-broadcast episode. It began its regular broadcast on September 10, 2008, and was streamed online bi-weekly on Mondays. The radio show is hosted by Kimiko Koyama and Shizuka Itō, who voiced Melilot and Herena in the visual novel, and is produced by Onsen.

### Manga

Before the game's release, a four-panel comic strip manga adaptation was serialized in ASCII Media Works' bishōjo magazine *Dengeki Hime* between the December 2007 and October 2008 issues sold on October 30, 2007, and August 30, 2008, respectively. The story of the manga is based on the visual novel, despite it not having been released yet, and was illustrated by Japanese illustrator Kotamaru, who has also contributed to the art in the game. A second manga adaptation was serialized irregularly between the April 2008 and August 2008 issues of *Dengeki Daioh*, published by ASCII Media Works on February 21 and June 21, 2008, respectively, and concluded with four chapters. The second manga was illustrated by Jin Arima, and unlike the first manga which is inspired from the visual novel, the story of the second manga's story is instead based on the game's storyline. A one-shot manga chapter was also serialized in the adult magazine *Megastore* on May 17, 2008. The manga chapter was drawn by Yasushi Kawakami, and contained adult content not found in the other two manga adaptations. A fourth manga adaptation entitled *Twinkle Crusaders GoGo!* began serialization in *Dengeki Daioh*'s July 2009 issue on May 27, 2009, and was illustrated by Hijiki and in October 2010.

## Reception and sales

This is not the first time Duvall and McDonald have made a record together, as they also co-wrote and produced "Shooting Star", featuring the platinum-selling artist Zaho (the song also appeared on Zaho's Congeous re-edition album) and it was the second single of Tara's debut album to be released later this year.

## Live performances

Tara McDonald performed "Vay-K" live on Fun Radio's LIVE concert in Albi, France on 21 February 2015 alongside French artists Soprano, Muttonheads, Lee Mashup and Tenny and at Contact FM Grand Live concert on 24 February 2015 at Pasino de Saint Amand Les Eaux alongside French artists M Pokora, Black M, Soprano, Louane, Chawki and Tenny. McDonald used giant pink inflatable flamingos on stage for the song.

title: Terminal Hotel (Little Rock, Arkansas)

abstract: The Terminal Hotel is a historic commercial building located on the southeast corner of Markham and Victory Streets in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a three-story Classical Revival brick building, set across Victory Street from Little Rock Union Station. It was opened in March 1909 as a railroad hotel, serving both passengers and railroad employees for many years until hotel operations ended in the late 1960s. It was later purchased and converted into residential housing units. The Terminal Hotel Company was incorporated in July 1908 and contracted with Little Rock architect Charles L. Thompson to design the structure. The ground floor was to be occupied with a barber shop, restaurant, drug store, hotel lobby and other accessories of hotel operation. The original Little Rock Union Depot structure included a hotel and restaurant operated by C.A. Pratt. Since the new Union Station was not going to include hotel accommodations in the building, the Terminal Hotel was intended as the replacement for those facilities. The proprietor of the Terminal Hotel was Miss Mary A. Crofton, who had been an employee of Pratt's Hotel and Restaurant for twenty years. The Terminal Hotel utilized a buff colored brick identical to that used for the new Union Station. The Terminal Hotel was opened for business on March 26, 1909, about six months before the new Union Station actually opened. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

# Shadowplay (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

"**Shadowplay**" is the 36th episode of the science fiction television series *Star Trek: Deep Space Nine*. It is the 16th episode of the second season.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures on Deep Space Nine, a space station located adjacent to a stable wormhole between the Alpha and Gamma quadrants of the Milky Way Galaxy, near the planet Bajor. In this episode, Deep Space Nine's shapeshifting security chief Odo and science officer Dax investigate mysterious disappearances of the population of a village in the Gamma Quadrant; meanwhile, Major Kira becomes romantically involved with the Bajoran priest Vedek Bareil.

The episode was directed by Robert Scheerer and written by Robert Hewitt Wolfe.

## Plot

Dax and Odo investigate an unusual particle field emanating from a planet in the Gamma Quadrant; they discover the field is coming from a small village's power generator. The village magistrate, Colyus, tells them 22 people have disappeared without a trace in the past few days. Odo and Dax offer to help investigate the disappearances; but the oldest villager, Rurigan, seems unconvinced that the villagers will ever be found.

The next day, Odo interviews Rurigan's granddaughter, Taya, whose mother has disappeared. The two find common ground in that they are both orphans; during the course of their conversation, Taya reveals that the villagers never leave their valley. Rurigan assures Odo that searching beyond the valley would be pointless. Apparently no one has thought about searching beyond the valley or ever considered leaving it.

Taya brings Odo and Dax to the edge of the valley. When Dax leaves the valley, a device from the village vanishes from her hand. Taya reaches past the edge of the valley, and her arm begins to disappear. The three return to the village to share their findings: the entire village, including its citizens, is a hologram created by the reactor's particle field. The reactor has fallen into disrepair and is breaking down, causing the villagers to disappear one by one.

They convince the villagers to let Dax shut down the reactor and repair it before it stops functioning completely. When she does so, the village and all the villagers vanish – except Rurigan. He explains that when an alien empire known as the Dominion arrived on his home planet, he fled to an abandoned planet and recreated the world he had lost; but now he admits that none of it was real. However, Odo argues that Taya and the others are real and deserve a chance to live. Dax and Rurigan repair the reactor, restoring the village, including the missing people. Before he and Dax leave, Odo realizes how close he has grown to Taya, and demonstrates his abilities by morphing into a toy that Taya played with earlier.

Meanwhile, back on Deep Space Nine, Major Kira begins a romance with Vedek Bareil; the bartender Quark had Bareil invited to the station to distract Kira from a criminal operation he was planning, but she sees through the scheme and apprehends Quark's accomplice. Jake Sisko begins taking engineering lessons from Miles O'Brien, but eventually admits to his father that he doesn't want to join Starfleet.

## Reception

In IGN's review of season 2, they said this and "The Alternate" were "good Odo episodes".

In 2013, Tor.com said this was a "magnificently constructed episode" that explored the idea of subverted expectations, and rated the episode 8 out of 10.

## Releases

This and "Paradise" were released on VHS in the United Kingdom paired on one cassette (VHR 2871).

On April 1, 2003 Season 2 of *Star Trek: Deep Space Nine* was released on DVD video discs, with 26 episodes on seven discs.

This episode was released in 2017 on DVD with the complete series box set, which had 176 episodes on 48 discs.
