# My Teacher, My Obsession

***My Teacher, My Obsession*** (which was recently renamed ***Dad Crush***) is a 2018 American thriller drama film directed by Damian Romay, written by Patrick Robert Young and starring Rusty Joiner, Lucy Loken and Laura Bilgeri. The plot revolves around Riley (Laura Bilgeri) who has transferred to a new high school where her father is working as an English teacher. Riley initially has a hard time finding new friends, but eventually meets Kyla (Lucy Loken) and they become close friends. It turns out, though, that Kyla is obsessed with Riley's father.

## Plot

Riley is a high school senior starting her first day at a new school along with her father, Chris, the school's newest English teacher. During his first lesson, Chris catches the attention of both Tricia, a popular girl, and Kyla, the school's yearbook photographer. After class, Kyla befriends Riley, who reveals she is Chris's daughter, and asks to come over to her house for a study session. At her house, Riley tells Kyla about her mother's infidelity which led to her parents' divorce. That night, Kyla dreams of Chris and becomes infatuated with him.

The next day, Tricia befriends Riley, infuriating Kyla. She warns Riley that Tricia is dangerous and claims she has a history of messing around with teachers, as she had slept with a history teacher the year before. Later that night, Kyla's mother, Jess, is preparing for a date, which is revealed to be Chris. As she watches them flirt, Kyla grows jealous and sabotages their date, forcing Chris to spend the night, and allowing Kyla to get closer to him.

The following morning at school, Kyla confronts Riley about going out with Tricia despite her warning, and tells her she is being used by Tricia to get to her father. Riley tells her that Tricia claims it was not her who had slept with their history teacher, but Kyla herself. Kyla denies the accusation and Riley leaves. Later, Kyla confronts Tricia, threatening her to leave Riley alone, but Tricia refuses to back down.

The next day, Kyla, having filled her locker with lewd photos she had taken of herself the night before, tells Chris she is being harassed, and he promises to help find whoever is responsible. Kyla and Riley eventually make amends, and Kyla confesses to having slept with her history teacher, claiming he had manipulated her. Later that night as Chris and Jess prepare for a date, Kyla, posing as Tricia, sends sexually suggestive messages to Chris's phone. Jess, believing Chris is having sex with one of his students, throws him out. As Chris sits in his truck, Kyla enters and seduces him into kissing her. The following day, police arrive and take Tricia away, having found the phone used to text Chris the sexually suggestive messages, as well as containing the lewd photos of Kyla, in her locker. That night at Riley's birthday party, Kyla enters Chris' office at his home and seduces him into having sex. Riley discovers them, and runs away distraught. The next morning Jess confronts Chris, having been told everything by Riley. As she takes Kyla away, Kyla denies any wrongdoing, as she is of legal age and claims Chris and her are in love. Chris apologizes to Riley and tells her he will not see Kyla anymore, and Riley forgives him.

The next day, Kyla calls Tricia and asks to meet her before school. When Tricia arrives, Kyla admits to framing her, and harms herself by breaking her fingers. As Riley and Chris arrive, Kyla cries for help, claiming Tricia attacked her. Tricia is arrested and Kyla goes to the hospital. There, Riley tells Kyla her relationship with her father is over, and Kyla appears to agree. She asks Riley to take over her yearbook responsibilities for a volleyball game that night, which Riley reluctantly accepts. When Riley leaves, Kyla tells Chris they can finally be together with Tricia gone, but Chris denies her, telling her their relationship is over and to leave him alone. Kyla declares she will never leave Chris, and reminds him he will have to see her everyday in class. Chris decides to quit his job to get away from her, and leaves to gather his belongings from the classroom. Kyla takes a scalpel from the hospital and flees.

At the school, Kyla confronts Riley, declaring only one of them can be in Chris's life, and stabs her in the stomach. Making her way to Chris's class, she holds the scalpel to his throat, telling him they are meant to be together, and also revealing she was the one that had manipulated her previous teacher, not vice versa. Chris pushes Kyla off of him, but she trips him, causing him to hit his head, rendering him unconscious. A janitor hears the commotion, and stumbles upon Kyla, who pretends to be injured and asks him to get help. As the janitor runs to find assistance, Riley, alive but badly wounded, warns him to run, but Kyla slits his throat and kills him. The two begin to fight, and Riley eventually beats Kyla into submission. As police arrive, both Riley and Kyla are taken away in separate ambulances.

Some time later, Riley is leaving for her first day of college. As she says goodbye to her father, unseen by either of them, a hooded figure watches them from afar.

title: Pittosporum undulatum

abstract: Pittosporum undulatum is a fast-growing tree in the family Pittosporaceae. It is sometimes also known as sweet pittosporum, native daphne, Australian cheesewood, Victorian box or mock orange. P. undulatum has become invasive in parts of Australia where it is not indigenous. It is also highly invasive in South Africa, the Caribbean, Hawaii, the Azores and southern Brazil.

# Pittosporum undulatum

***Pittosporum undulatum*** is a fast-growing tree in the family Pittosporaceae. It is sometimes also known as **sweet pittosporum**, **native daphne**, **Australian cheesewood**, **Victorian box** or **mock orange**.

*P. undulatum* has become invasive in parts of Australia where it is not indigenous. It is also highly invasive in South Africa, the Caribbean, Hawaii, the Azores and southern Brazil.

## Description

*Pittosporum undulatum* grows as a shrub or small tree to 15 m (49 ft) tall. Its evergreen leaves are lance-shaped (lanceolate), with wavy (undulating) margins. It carries conspicuous orange woody fruits about 1 cm in diameter for several months after flowering in spring or early summer.

## Taxonomy

French botanist Étienne Pierre Ventenat described *Pittosporum undulatum* in 1802.

## Distribution and habitat

Originally *Pittosporum undulatum* grew in moist areas on the Australian east coast, where its natural range was from south-east Queensland to eastern Victoria, but has increased its range since European settlement.

## Ecology

Likely pollinators of its flowers are moths and butterflies, as the flower produces a fragrant perfume at night. The fruit are eaten by currawongs, red-whiskered bulbuls, Indian mynahs and grey-headed flying fox. Seed is dispersed in bird faeces.

## Invasive species

According to the Australasian Virtual Herbarium, the earliest-known record of *P. undulatum* is from Port Jackson, Sydney, in 1803. However, its status around the Sydney area is contentious. Even though it is native to the region, it has spread to soils and bushland where it wasn't found before European settlement, often out-competing other plants.

*P. undulatum* is the most invasive tree species in the Azores, and has spread through most of the mid- to low-altitude forests, out-shading and replacing native trees, such as *Myrica faya* and *Laurus azorica*.

*P. undulatum* has done especially well in areas where the environment has been altered by humans – for example by habitat fragmentation weakening other natives, due to fertilizer runoff from homes increasing soil nutrients, and by the suppression of bushfires near suburbs. Unlike most natives, it takes advantage of high nutrient levels and its seeds can germinate without needing fire. That has led to the species sometimes receiving the "invasive" label, although some think that it is merely returning to areas where it grew before people arrived in Australia and began burning the environment far beyond that which previously occurred.

Recommended control measures have included the identification and selective removal of female trees to prevent spread, as well as careful burning, where possible, together with follow-up weeding.

| Pragmatic loner Hachiman Hikigaya writes an essay describing his view on the lives of contemporary teenagers which displeases his language teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka. As punishment, she forces Hachiman to join the Soubu High School Service Club and requests that its sole member—Yukino Yukinoshita—try to remedy his broken social skills. This immediately results in a clash between both students and Shizuka proposes that they contest their ideals by helping people sent to the club. The next day, Hachiman learns that Yukino was paradoxically made an outcast because of her beauty and relates to her differential way of thinking. Afterwards, Yui Yuigahama requests that the Service Club help her bake cookies for a friend and Yukino fails teaching her the basics of cooking. Hachiman tries an alternative approach and uses psychology to get Yui to realize that the sheer act of doing something for another person means more than how the act turns out. The next week, Yukino and Hachiman discuss Yui's request with respect to the ultimate goal of personal improvement, versus the rewards of working towards said improvement despite risking failure in doing so. Afterwards, Yui shows up at the club and thanks both Hachiman and Yukino with homemade cookies she made herself. | | | | | | | |

| Shizuka once again reproves Hachiman for basing his Biology report on his dissatisfaction with the dominance hierarchy established by social groups. Later that day, Yumiko Miura pressures Yui for a straight excuse when she tries to break away from their social group to have lunch with Yukino. Yukino then shows up and demands an explanation for Yui's tardiness but ends up forgiving her. However Yumiko makes an outburst when Yui focuses her attention on Yukino, prompting the latter to call Yumiko out on her self-centeredness. The tense atmosphere then drives the other students out and Yui uses the opportunity to explain that meeting Hachiman and Yukino helped her realize that she can be her own person and not force herself to do what others want from her, which Yumiko accepts. The following afternoon, a delusional teen named Yoshiteru Zaimokuza shows up at the Service Club. After the group beats around the bush to dissect his ostentatious personality, Yoshiteru asks that they help review a light novel he wrote. Hachiman and Yukino then stay up all night reading his novel and present their critiques the next day which turn out less than positive. Despite the Service Club's brutal honesty, Yoshiteru sincerely accepts their words and promises to have them review his next literary work. | | | | | | | |

Transliteration: "Tamani Rabu Kome no Kami-sama wa ī Koto o Suru." (Japanese: たまにラブコメの神様はいいことをする。) | Kaoruhisa Iida | Douko Machida | April 19, 2013 (2013-04-19) |  |
| Yui interrupts Hachiman while having lunch outside at his favorite spot and excitedly tells him about her growing relationship with Yukino. During the following gym class, Saika Totsuka practices tennis with Hachiman and eventually asks him to join the tennis club. Hachiman then asks Yukino for her opinion on the offer during the next Service Club meeting. However, Saika arrives and requests that they help him practice tennis for the next few days. While the group practices one lunchtime, Yumiko and her group demand to use the tennis court and ignore the fact that Saika has permission to use it. However, Hayato Hayama proposes that they have a doubles match with the winner gaining access to the court. The match then begins with Hachiman & Yui vs. Hayato & Yumiko, until Yui sprains her ankle and switches with Yukino. After a bit of pregame banter with Yumiko, Yukino dominates the match until her stamina runs out and entrusts the game to Hachiman. Hachiman then makes his last two serves by using his knowledge of the sea breezes and hitting the ball in a high arc, which wins the game. The spectators end up ignoring the Service Club's victory when Hayato saves Yumiko from injuring herself from the final serve. | | | | | | | |

Transliteration: "Tsumari, Kare wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai." (Japanese: つまり、彼は友達が少ない。) | Hideya Takahashi | Shōtarō Suga | April 26, 2013 (2013-04-26) |  |
| While on their way to school, Hachiman and his sister Komachi Hikigaya discuss the car accident he was involved in on what was supposed to be his first day of high school. Afterward, Shizuka reprimands Hachiman for his choice of future occupation and reminds him about picking a three-person group for the upcoming workplace field-trip. Later the Service Club receives a mysterious shared text message. Hayato then requests that the Service Club put a stop to the message which paints his clique members Kakeru, Yamato, and Oka as delinquents. The Service Club then links the message to the field-trip and deduce that one of the three plans to eliminate another so they can form a group with Hayato. Hachiman and Yui then take turns gathering information, however, Yui ends up failing miserably due to her inability to remain subtle. Afterward, Hachiman begins observing Hayato's clique until Saika interrupts him. However, he solves the mystery when Hayato joins their conversation. Hachiman later explains the cohesive relationship between Kakeru, Yamato, and Oka, and has Hayato take himself out of their group to give them a chance to bond. Hayato then thanks Hachiman by grouping with him and Saika for the field-trip. | | | | | | | |
| 5 | 5 | "And Again, He Returns from Whence He Came"
Transliteration: "Mata Shite mo, Kare wa Moto Kita Michi e Hikikaesu." (Japanese: またしても、彼は元来た道へ引き返す。) | Noriyuki Noi | Douko Machida | May 3, 2013 (2013-05-03) |  |
| Shizuka scolds Hachiman for arriving at the very end of after-school classes. He then makes his way to a local cafe and runs into Yui, Yukino and Saika, and they are joined by Komachi and her friend Taishi Kawasaki. Taishi explains his concern over the late-night excursions of his sister Saki Kawasaki and the Service Club resolve to get to the bottom of the matter. The next day, the club employ various schemes of approaching Saki which all end up in failure. With Komachi's help however, the Service Club learn that Saki works nights at a cafe and eventually track her down to a bar at the top of a high-class hotel in Chiba. The Service Club then makes an exit after tensions flare between Saki and Yukino when they discover that the former had deceived the hotel management about her age to obtain employment. Saki then meets with the group the following morning and they learn that she had been saving up for college. However Komachi points out that she should not have made Taishi worry and Hachiman proposes that she apply for a scholarship instead. Afterwards Komachi shocks Hachiman with the revelation that Yui was the owner of the dog he had saved in the car accident. Believing that Yui was only friendly to him out of guilt, Hachiman ends their acquaintanceship during the field-trip. | | | | | | | |
| 6 | 6 | "Finally, His and Her Beginning Have Ended"
Transliteration: "Yōyaku Kare to Kanojo no Hajimari ga Owaru." (Japanese: ようやく彼と彼女の始まりが終わる。) | Tomoyuki Kurokawa | Shōtarō Suga | May 10, 2013 (2013-05-10) |  |
| Yui stops coming to the Service Club meetings and seems to drop out altogether following her previous encounter with Hachiman and Shizuka tasks them in recruiting a new third member. Yukino proposes that she would like Yui to rejoin the club by celebrating her birthday. Later that weekend, they visit the mall to present shop for Yui, with little luck. The pair eventually settle on purchasing some trendy accessories for Yui until they run into Yukino's older sister—Haruno Yukinoshita—who playfully teases them with her transparent persona. Much to their surprise, Yui also runs into the pair and Yukino invites her to the next Service Club meeting. At the next meeting, Yukino explains to Yui that they intended to celebrate her birthday and thank her for all the things she did for the club. Hachiman also uses the opportunity to clear the air with Yui and explains that she does not owe him anything and hence, should not pity him. Yui argues that she never thought of herself as pitying him but the complexity of the situation leaves her at a loss for words. However, Yukino helps repair the rift between them by sincerely explaining they should drop their current situation and begin a new path, which they decide to take. | | | | | | | |
| 7 | 7 | "Regardless, Not Getting a Break over Summer Break is Wrong"
Transliteration: "Tomoare, Natsuyasuminanoni Yasumenai no wa Nanikaokashī." (Japanese: ともあれ、夏休みなのに休めないのは何かおかしい。) | Tomoyuki Kawamura | Katsuhiko Takayama | May 17, 2013 (2013-05-17) |  |
| Hachiman tries his best to relax during Summer break and ignores the backlog of messages from Shizuka concerning the Service Club activities. Shizuka eventually manages to lure Hachiman out and takes the Service Club and other Soubu High students to a prefectural park in Chiba to oversee an elementary school Summer camp for a few days. During the orienteering event, Hachiman and Yukino bear witness to the deliberate shunning of the young Rumi Tsurumi by her peers, and the many failed attempts by Hayato to remedy the situation. Rumi senses a similar aura from Hachiman and Yukino and confides her problem to them, with Yukino adding that it would only snowball once she gets into middle school with the same people. The Soubu group later try to come up with ways to help Rumi that evening. However, tensions flare when Yukino shoots down an idea by Yumiko based on her general lack of experience in interactions with people like Rumi. Unable to sleep that night, Hachiman finds Yukino in the woods, and she explains her desire to help Rumi as she sees a reflection of Yui in her, and also a bit of the history that exists between herself and Hayato before going to bed. Unable to sleep as well, Rumi sits by a stream under the starlight. | | | | | | | |
| 8 | 8 | "One Day, They Shall Learn the Truth"
Transliteration: "Izure Karera Kanojora wa Shinjitsu o Shiru." (Japanese: いずれ彼ら彼女らは真実を知る。) | Hideaki Nakano | Katsuhiko Takayama | May 24, 2013 (2013-05-24) |  |
| The Summer camp continues and Shizuka asks the Soubu group to prepare a 'test of courage' and bonfire event for the evening. After some preparations, the Soubu girls relax at a nearby river and Rumi joins Hachiman on the bank where he outlines the waning probability of holding on to elementary school ties as one grows older. However, Rumi explains that she had already given up on making friends based on reciprocating her current treatment to her peers in the past. In order to assist Rumi, Hachiman proposes that the Soubu group create a source of conflict within the peer group that shuns Rumi. This would reveal their true self-allegiance and ultimately shatter the ties between them, thus moving the focus away from Rumi. The plan then seems to work when they implement it during the 'test of courage', until Rumi saves the girls in a dramatic turn of events. Afterwards during the bonfire event, the Soubu group notes that Hachiman's unorthodox plan had set the stage for the girls to split apart after betraying each other and hence slightly improve Rumi's situation. The camp then ends the next day and when Haruno comes to pick Yukino up, Yui and Hachiman recognise the Yukinoshita limousine as the one that struck Hachiman in the accident. | | | | | | | |
| 9 | 9 | "And Yet Again, He Returns from Whence He Came."
Transliteration: "Sando, Kare wa Moto Kita Michi e Hikikaesu." (Japanese: 三度、彼は元来た道へ引き返す。) | Hideya Takahashi | Shōtarō Suga | May 31, 2013 (2013-05-31) |  |
| Yui invites Hachiman and Komachi to the annual summer fireworks festival as thanks for taking care of her dog but Komachi backs out of the offer to give Hachiman and Yui a chance to go together. On the day of the festival, Hachiman and Yui try to compensate for the awkwardness of going out together for the first time by shopping around for some items for Komachi. The fireworks soon begin and the pair run into Haruno while looking for a place to watch the spectacle. Haruno uses the opportunity to explain a little of the complicated relationship between herself and Yukino and laments that Yukino has difficulty in forming meaningful relationships with people. At the end of the festival, Haruno mistakenly refers to Yukino's involvement in the accident but Hachiman brushes it off as water under the bridge. Afterwards, Hachiman takes Yui home and she explains that she would rather Hachiman, Yukino, and herself not keep their feelings bottled away and further laments that she would have befriended Hachiman even without the accident, which he rejects based on his own causal reasoning. However as school resumes the following week, Hachiman begins hating himself for believing that Yukino was incapable of lying since she had said she didn't know who he was in the first episode. | | | | | | | |
| 10 | 10 | "While They Remain As Distant As They Were, The Festival Shall Soon Encircle Us"
Transliteration: "Izentoshite Karera no Kyori wa Kawarazu ni, Matsuri wa Mōsugu Kānibaru." (Japanese: 依然として彼らの距離は変わらずに、祭りはもうすぐカーニバる。) | Risako Yoshida | Shōtarō Suga | June 7, 2013 (2013-06-07) |  |
| Shizuka volunteers Hachiman as the male representative of 2F for the cultural festival committee and Hayama later nominates Minami Sagami as the female representative, who further volunteers to be the committee chair in an attempt to further her self growth. Afterwards, Minami requests that Yukino assist her with the chairing responsibilities as vice-president. Much to everyone's surprise, Yukino excels at managing the festival responsibilities far more effectively than Minami. In the meantime, Hina Ebina takes charge of a stage production and Haruno tries to apply for a musical performance. Minami then suggests that the committee help enjoy preparing for the festival, with Yukino arguing that the logistical work takes priority. However more than half of the committee take Minami's advice and leave the remaining members in an up-hill battle with the growing paperwork. The next day, Yukino efficiently takes on most of the work but when Hayato criticises her for it, Hachiman moves the focus away from Yukino by blaming the deserting members. Afterwards, Minami passes most of her responsibilities to Yukino before going back to helping the other classes around the school. Overwhelmed with paperwork, Yukino takes most of it home and fails to show up at school the following day. | | | | | | | |
| 11 | 11 | "And So, the Curtain on Each's Stage Rises, and The Festival Grows to a Feast on Us"
Transliteration: "Soshite, Sorezore no Butai no Maku ga Agari, Matsuri wa Saikō ni Fesutiba Tte Iru." (Japanese: そして、それぞれの舞台の幕が上がり、祭りは最高にフェスティバっている。) | Shunsuke Ishikawa | Katsuhiko Takayama | June 14, 2013 (2013-06-14) |  |
| Hachiman and Yui visit Yukino and find that she had worked herself to exhaustion by taking on most of the festival work. Yui scolds her for not relying on them more and Hachiman reinforces her argument by explaining that in an ideal world people rely on each other, but even then he doesn't know if it would be the right course of action. The next day, the festival committee attempt to brainstorm festival slogans which all indicate a sense of comradery. Hachiman cleverly proposes a slogan by using the Kanji for "People" (, *Hito*) to highlight the unfair division of labor which Minami had introduced into the committee. This stunt grants Hachiman the contempt of the rest of the committee and they come out in droves the next day to falsify his words. The Soubu High School Cultural Festival begins some time later and Minami fumbles her opening speech due to stage fright. Despite this, the rest of the festival turns out to be a huge hit, especially Hina's yaoi stage production. Hachiman later takes a break and Yui joins him for lunch and explains that she had decided to wait for Yukino to open up to her and will also actively try to strengthen her bond with Hachiman. Elsewhere, Minami locks herself in the bathroom after being riddled with embarrassment. | | | | | | | |
| 12 | 12 | "And So, His and Her and Her Youths Continue Being Wrong"
Transliteration: "Kōshite, Kare to Kanojo to Kanojo no Seishun wa Machigai Tsudzukeru." (Japanese: こうして、彼と彼女と彼女の青春はまちがい続ける。) | Ai Yoshimura | Shōtarō Suga | June 21, 2013 (2013-06-21) |  |
| Soubu High's Cultural Festival continues and Hachiman is stuck carrying out his duty as a committee member by documenting the day's events on film. Komachi shows up and is surprised to find her brother actually taking a bit of responsibility. As the festival enters its last stages, Haruno entertains the audience with a full orchestra performance. Soon enough, as the closing ceremony approaches, Meguri reports that Minami is missing in action. Since she is needed to deliver the closing speech, the group decides to stall for time while Hachiman searches the campus for her. Hachiman eventually finds Minami atop the laboratory roof and realizes she is sulking because Yukino stole the spotlight away from her, despite asking for her help. Hayato and Minami's clique show up to get her, although she refuses to budge. Seeing no other alternative, Hachiman craftily uses reverse psychology combined with Minami's true social reality to guilt her into accepting her duty; using a tone which enrages Hayato. Afterwards, the festival ends as Yui, Yukino, Haruno and Shizuka give their extra musical performance followed by Minami's closing speech. Everyone shows mixed reactions on Hachiman's course of action but Shizuka compliments him for always finding ways to rescue people from their problems, but laments that it breaks her heart since he always sacrifices himself to do so. That evening, at the Service Club room, Hachiman and Yukino discuss how far they've come to know each other, with Yukino hinting that they've become friends. Yui eventually shows up at the club to invite them for an after party hosted by Hayato to celebrate the festival's success. Hachiman ends by pondering that while there aren't any second chances in life, his and Yukino's ideals on society may continue to be seen as deviances. | | | | | | | |

| Soubu High School holds its annual athletic festival and Hachiman tries to rationalize his disinterest in participating by reinterpreting a speech by Pierre de Coubertin. Some time earlier, Meguri Shiromeguri requests that the Service Club assist her in planning her final athletic festival at the school. The Service Club agree and Meguri has them brainstorm event ideas, all of which are shot down by Shizuka on account of the social sensitivity attached to them. Hachiman decides to enlist the creativity of Yoshiteru and Hina and they soon progress with the preparations. When the festival begins, the white team surges ahead of the red team but the tables turn when Yukino and the red team girls manage to win their historically-based event. Afterwards, Hachiman participates in the male pole-drop event and cleverly uses Yoshiteru as a distraction while he disguises himself as a white player and closes in on the pole. When Hayato and his clique intercept him however, Hachiman reveals his feint strategy in distracting Hayato so Yoshiteru can charge at the pole, thus winning the event and the festival for the red team. Sometime later, the Service Club discuss Hachiman's stunt which caused the disqualification of the red team. However they resolve to try their best in the next athletics festival. | | | | | | | |

# New Valley Project

The **New Valley Project** or **Toshka Project** consists of building a system of canals to carry water from Lake Nasser to irrigate part of the sandy wastes of the Western Desert of Egypt, which is part of the Sahara Desert.

## History

In 1997, the Egyptian government decided to develop a **new valley** (as opposed to the existing Nile Valley) where agricultural and industrial communities would develop. It has been an ambitious project which was meant to help Egypt cope with its rapidly growing population.

## Project

The canal inlet starts from a site 8 km to the north of Toshka Bay (Khor) on Lake Nasser. The canal is meant to continue westwards until it reaches the Darb el-Arbe'ien route, then northwards along the Darb el- Arbe'ien to the Baris Oasis, covering a distance of 310 km. But as of April 2012, the canal is still 60 km short of the Baris Oasis. The Mubarak Pumping Station in Toshka is the centerpiece of the project and was inaugurated in March 2005. It pumps water from Lake Nasser to be transported by way of a canal through the valley, with the idea of transforming 2340 km2 (588,000 acres) of desert into agricultural land. The Toshka Project has now been revived by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Half of the land will be given to college graduates, 1 acre each, funded by the Long Live Egypt Fund.

The essential problem is that the Western Desert's high saline levels and the presence of underground aquifers in the area act as a major obstacle to any irrigation project. As the land is irrigated, the salt would mix with the aquifers and would reduce access to potable water. There is also the difficulty that the clay minerals found in the soil are posing technical problems to the big wheeled structures moving around autonomously to irrigate the land. Often their wheels get stuck in a little bowl created by wet clay that dried, and the irrigation machines come to a standstill. The only objective met up to April 2012 is the diversion of water from Lake Nasser into what little of the Sheikh Zayed Canal has been built.

The Toshka Lakes are a by-product of the rising level of Lake Nasser and lie in the same general region as much of the New Valley Project.

# Heathcote, Victoria

**Heathcote** is a town in central Victoria, Australia, situated on the Northern Highway 110 kilometres north of Melbourne and 40 kilometres south-east of Bendigo via the McIvor Highway. Heathcote's local government area is the City of Greater Bendigo and it is part of the federal electorate of Bendigo and the state electorate of Euroa. At the 2021 census, Heathcote had a population of 2,962.

## History

The first European known to have visited the district was Major Thomas Mitchell in 1836. By 1851 about 400 Europeans lived on some 16 pastoral properties in the area.

Late in 1852 gold was discovered at McIvor Creek. Within six months some 40,000 miners were camped in the vicinity. It proved to be one of the richest finds during the Australian gold rushes, but the gold was so easily found that it was soon largely exhausted and by the end of the year a large proportion of the miners had already left for other recent finds (although deeper deposits continued to be mined for many years). This was not before the Victorian government gazetted the township of Heathcote on the site and ordered the construction of several official buildings. The post office opened on 1 July 1853 as McIvor Creek but six months later, on 1 January 1854, was renamed Heathcote.

With the decline of gold mining the region took on an increased importance as a pastoral district.

Heathcote was served by the Heathcote railway line from 1889 to 1968.

The Heathcote Magistrates' Court closed on 1 January 1990.

### Gold Escort Robbery

Mia Mia was the location of a violent gold escort robbery on 20 July 1853. A gang of at least six robbers and possibly as large as twelve bailed up a gold escort that departed Heathcote on the way to Kyneton. The robbers opened fire on the six escorts in which four were wounded. The other two fled to Heathcote to raise the alarm. When help arrived they found that the robbers and the gold was gone. All the robbers were living in Heathcote at the time working the gold diggings. Later John Francis gave crown evidence against the others and three of the villains were hanged.

This took place very close to where one of Australia's worst aviation disasters occurred in 1945.

Heathcote is the closest major town to the Heathcote-Graytown National Park and Lake Eppalock.

## Present

The town hosts an agricultural show on Melbourne Cup day, each November.

**Food & Wine**

A weekend early in October is dedicated to the Heathcote Wine and Food Festival held at the show grounds. This is a dynamic event that has grown rapidly since its inception in 1994.

The town is the centre of the recognised Heathcote wine region, notable for its Shiraz wines. In 2010 the Heathcote Winery won a gold medal at the Queensland Wine Show. In 2013, the Sanguine Estate Shiraz 2012 was awarded the category winner, a gold medal and a top 10 position in World's Greatest Syrah & Shiraz Challenge.

## Sport

The town has several sporting teams;

**Basketball:** One of the most celebrated sports teams in Heathcote, the Heathcote Panthers Basketball Club with both junior and senior teams ranging from the under 10's and under 12's in both boys and girls under 14's and under 16's boys and also both an adult men's and ladies' team.

**Australian Rules:** The town has an Australian Rules football team playing in the Heathcote District Football League.

Heathcote managed to capture back to back premierships in 2009/10. Heathcote continued to thrive over the next two seasons playing off in the Grand Final until a mass exodus of players.

Despite the reluctance of many to play alongside such a divisive character, the Saints maintained their century-long streak of at least one win per season.

**Cricket:** The Heathcote Cricket Club competes in the Northern United Cricket Association and celebrated back to back premiership success in seasons 2012/13 & 2013/14.

**Golf:** Golfers play at the Heathcote Golf Course, a quality 18 hole championship course.

**Motor Racing/Athletics & Horse Racing:** Heathcote has a harness track (2040m) that also acts as a speedway.

# Joseph A. Maressa

**Joseph A. Maressa Sr.** (October 17, 1923  October 30, 2012) was an American lawyer and Democratic Party politician who was elected to serve three terms in the New Jersey Senate, representing Legislative District 3B for his first two years and the 4th Legislative District for the remainder of his service in elected office. First elected to office in 1972, Maressa decided against running for office for a fourth term in 1982 after accepting a bribe to aid an Arab sheikh from an undercover FBI agent acting as part of the Abscam sting operation, though Maressa claimed that he had accepted the $10,000 as part of his patriotic efforts as an American to bring oil money back to the United States.

## Personal life

Born in Camden, New Jersey, on October 17, 1923, Maressa was one of eight children born to parents who had emigrated to the United States from Sicily. He graduated from Camden High School in 1942 and enlisted with the United States Navy during World War II, with which he served in the Pacific Theater of Operations on deep sea mine disposal and was commissioned as a lieutenant. He received his bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Temple University in 1947. Unsuccessful in his aspirations to become an agent with the FBI, Maressa became a trooper with the New Jersey State Police. In 1952, Maressa received his law degree from Rutgers School of Law–Camden, having attended night school. He began the practice of law in Berlin, New Jersey, with a specialization in local government law, working for municipalities and local boards of education.

During a 35-year span in which he served on the board of trustees and board and directors of the Kennedy Health System and Kennedy University Hospitals, Maressa played a pivotal role in the hospital's expansion through its acquisition of hospitals in Cherry Hill and the Turnersville section of Washington Township, earning recognition for his efforts by both the American Osteopathic Healthcare Association and the New Jersey Hospital Association.

A resident of the Atco neighborhood of Waterford Township, New Jersey, Maressa died at the age of 89 on October 30, 2012, at Virtua West Jersey Hospital in Berlin.

## Public service

In the 1971 general election, Maressa was elected to represent District 3B of the New Jersey Senate, one of four representatives from the 3rd Legislative District, which was further divided into four subdistricts (Districts 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D); District 3B included portions of Camden and Gloucester counties.

Upon the creation of a 40-district legislative map in 1973 in response to the one-man-one-vote system mandated by the 1964 Supreme Court decision in *Reynolds v. Sims*, the new 4th Legislative District consisted of portions of Burlington County, Camden County and Gloucester County. Maressa was elected to the new district in the 1973 general election representing the 4th District, and was re-elected in 1977.

Maressa took greatest pride in the passage of legislation that established the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey's School of Osteopathic Medicine (renamed in 2013 as the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine), established in 1976 and located on a campus in Stratford, New Jersey. Maressa felt that he was filling a vital need for a medical school that would serve South Jersey. In the Senate, Maressa served on the Judiciary Committee and was Majority Whip.

With Burlington County removed from the 4th District and portions of Atlantic County added in redistricting following the 1980 United States census, Maressa decided against running for re-election and was succeeded by Daniel Dalton, who defeated Kenneth A. Gewertz in the June Democratic Party primary and went on to win the November 1981 general election, defeating Republican Frank B. Smith by a 63%-37% margin.

## Abscam

In 1980, Maressa accepted $10,000 from a group of FBI agents who were part of the Abscam undercover operation. The money was given to Maressa to obtain his support on behalf of a fictitious Arab sheikh in exchange for Maressa's efforts to get legislative support to obtain a gambling license for a casino in Atlantic City. Maressa justified accepting what he described as legal fees, saying that "I felt like it would be patriotic to take some of this OPEC oil money and get it back to the United States". Maressa wasn't prosecuted for his actions.

# Platylepas ophiophila

***Platylepas ophiophila***, commonly known as the **sea snake barnacle**, is a species of barnacle in the family Platylepadidae. It is native to the Indo-Pacific Ocean where it lives as a epibiont of a sea snake.

## Ecology

*Platylepas ophiophila* is found living in association with several species of sea snake as an ectosymbiont. The barnacle adheres to the snake's skin, and has ribs that penetrate the snake's skin to make the attachment more secure. Nevertheless, the barnacle usually becomes detached when the snake sheds its skin. Barnacles breed by internal fertilisation, so individuals of this species have to be located adjacent to another individual in order to reproduce. Despite the fact that sea snakes are mobile and generally solitary, about half the sea snakes support barnacles. The barnacle may have adopted this lifestyle as a result of intense competition for space on coral reefs, rocks and other hard substrates; the advantages for the barnacle are freedom from predators, freedom from competitors, mobility, a feeding current, and possibly food fragments discarded by its host.

This species of barnacle is short-lived because it dies when the sea snake sheds its skin; as the skin is sloughed every four to six weeks, it is presumed that the barnacle completes its life cycle within this period. When fixed to the spine-bellied sea snake (*Lapemis hardwickii*) the output of eggs is relatively small, and this may be an adaptation to the mode of life of its host. Another barnacle, *Octolasmis warwickii* adheres to the slipper lobster (*Thenus orientalis*); it also dies when its host sheds its skin, but it has a much larger output of eggs.

The **Peugeot Type 15** was an early Peugeot model built from 1897 to 1901. Its production run of 276 vehicles was the highest by the company up to that point, and in excess of all previous models combined.

## Engine

Peugeot ended its Daimler partnership and produced their first in-house engine for this car, made in their recently built Audincourt factory. Their transversely mounted flat-twin was a departure from this prior foreign-made V-twin engine. It produced 8 bhp.

## Famous owners

Charles Rolls, who collaborated with Henry Royce to found the famous Rolls-Royce marque in 1906, owned a Peugeot Type 15 and established a dealership in Britain selling Peugeot and other French cars in 1902. Alberto Santos-Dumont purchased a Type 15 while in France, and later had it exported to his home country of Brazil.

# Siguiri

**Siguiri** (N’ko: ߛߌ߯ߙߌ߲߫ ; Arabic: سِجِرِ ِ) is a city in northeastern Guinea on the River Niger. It is a sub-prefecture and capital of Siguiri Prefecture in the Kankan Region.

It is known for its goldsmiths and as the birthplace of Sekouba Bambino Diabaté. Siguiri is the site of a former French fort built in 1888, and the Siguiri Airport.

## Etymology

'Sigui' means 'buffalo' and 'ri' means place, a name given to the area due to its dense brush and abundant population of wild animals.

## History

Siguiri has been an important center since the time of Sundiata Keita. Some oral traditions have Sundiata's oldest son, Nyamagan, settling and ruling there. The town moved several times, on both sides of the river, due to flooding and the search for richer agricultural land on the banks of the Niger.

## Mining

Placer gold is mined here. North and northwest of Siguiri, and along the Tinkisso River, is the **Bouré** region. This region replaced Bambouk as a major gold producer in the 11th-12th centuries.

## Climate

Siguiri has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification *Aw*).

title: Yellow dune

abstract: Yellow dunes are sand dunes that develop after the first set of embryo dunes appear. They have an average depth of about 5m and are composed primarily of sand. They are so named because their lack of humus gives them a yellow color. The percentage of exposed sand on these dunes is generally about 20%. The remaining 80% is covered with vegetation that cannot withstand the conditions on the embryo dunes. The plants on these dunes can withstand the slightly alkaline sand an example of the plants would be marram grass spinifex. The moisture content of these dunes is relatively low so the plants still have very strong root structure and are capable of getting every drop of water that comes their way. As this dune develops, a new embryo dune will form in front.

# Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard

**Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard** (Vietnamese: *Đường Nguyễn Huệ*) is a boulevard in District 1, downtown Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Being one of Saigon's oldest thoroughfares, the boulevard has undergone several transformations; it is currently a famous pedestrian street in the city.

The boulevard stretches from Lê Thánh Tôn Street, right across from Ho Chi Minh City Hall, to Tôn Đức Thắng Boulevard (Bạch Đằng Quay, Saigon River waterfront).

## History

The boulevard was originally a canal known as *Kinh Lớn* (Grand Canal), which linked the former Citadel of Saigon (the *Thành Quy*) to Saigon River. In the first two decades after the French conquest of Saigon, the canal remained an important waterway, as the central market was then located on its bank. The two quayside streets along the canal were designated by n° 18, before they were officially named Quai Charner (on the right bank) and Quai Rigault de Genouilly (on the left bank) in 1865. Due to the pestilential odors emanating from the canal, local residents had soon requested that it be filled in. However, it took eighteen years of discussions for this to be achieved in 1886–1887. The resulting wide thoroughfare was henceforth named **boulevard Charner**.

From 1926, the boulevard had two wide central avenues separated by a thin strip of grass, which was ordered by the former Saigon mayor Rouelle. In 1955, it was renamed **Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard** by the South Vietnamese government.

### Nguyen Hue pedestrian street

Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard in 2017

In October 2014, the government of Ho Chi Minh City decided to convert the middle lanes of the boulevard into a pedestrian square. The project was completed on April 29, 2015. During weekend evenings, the entire boulevard is pedestrianized.

## Nguyen Hue Flower Street

Nguyen Hue Flower Street, or natively known as Đường hoa Nguyễn Huệ, is the common name of Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard during the lunar new year festival. During the festival, the street is decorated for the occasion and are exclusively for pedestrians. The tradition started in 2004, which previously known as Flower Market Nguyễn Huệ.

During the 20th century, the street is commonly a marketplace for trading flowers during the end of the lunar years. Vendors would come from the port at Bạch Đằng Quay. As such, during these years, the street is a common attraction for citizens to sightseeing and enjoy the Tết atmosphere.

After 2003, the city relocated the flower market to 23 Tháng 9 park. In 2004, the city started the tradition to set up flowers decoration on the street, designated as a sightseeing area during new year times. Since then, the name Nguyen Hue flower street is born. The street during this time is for pedestrians, and transportations are forbidden on the street.

In February 2015, the boulevard was under construction, so the Flower Street event was held on the nearby Hàm Nghi Boulevard. Following the boulevard's conversion into a pedestrian street, the tradition continues, with flowers decorated during the new year time. Motorbike routes continued to be blocked, but this time with additional nearby streets like Lê Lợi. During Tet 2023, in addition to the Flower Street, a book street event was held on Lê Lợi Boulevard.

The Nguyễn Huệ flower street are considered to be a culture and tourist event during the new year time, attract many citizens, tourists, as well as home-coming overseas Vietnamese.
