Vorarlberg Tourismus GmbH is a state organisation in Vorarlberg with the task of developing **tourism in Vorarlberg** and marketing the region. The company was founded in 2008 by the state of Vorarlberg and the Vorarlberg Chamber of Commerce and emerged from the Vorarlberg Tourism Association.
## History
Vorarlberg Tourism's predecessor, the Provincial Tourist Association, was founded in Dornbirn on 5 November 1893. Its tasks included summer brochures, posters and advertising. In 1902, the newly introduced statistics recorded 48,649 arrivals. The first ski lift in the Alps was opened at Bödele in 1907, and in 1923 a winter brochure and radio advertisements were produced. The first tourist film was made in 1945.
The first Vorarlberg Tourism Act was passed in 1966, and ten years later market research was carried out with a nationwide guest survey. From 1982 onwards, more overnight stays were recorded in winter than in summer.
In 2008, Vorarlberg Tourismus Ges.m.b.H. was founded and the regional association was dissolved. In 2012, the company developed the Tourism Strategy 2020 together with the state of Vorarlberg and the Vorarlberg Chamber of Commerce.

**The Wildflowers** is a series of short novels ghostwritten by Andrew Neiderman under the name V.C. Andrews. The Wildflowers is a series of stories about a group of four teen girls in court ordered group therapy. The first four novels serve as prequels to the therapy sessions while the last deals with what happened after. An omnibus edition was released in 2001.
The four girls attend four group sessions in the home of therapist Dr. Marlowe, and they find that they have much in common, mainly their self-titled moniker 'OWPs' (Orphans With Parents).
## The 'OWPs'
### *Misty (1999)*
Misty's mother and father are divorced and constantly fight over alimony payments and other petty arguments. Misty becomes entangled with two separate male peers with whom she becomes increasingly impulsive. When confronted by police, she claims the stress over her parents' divorce led her down a destructive path, and she is ordered to attend therapy with Dr. Marlowe.
### *Star (1999)*
Star, a black girl from the poorer side of town, lives with her drunk mother and little brother Rodney (their father had walked out on them). Star's mother eventually abandons these children with Star's grandmother. Star is sent to therapy when her boyfriend is beaten to death by his abusive father.
### *Jade (1999)*
Jade lives with her divorced parents in the midst of a fierce custody battle. Feeling alone in the world, her parents are more obsessed with their battles than with their daughter. Jade finds solace with a mysterious man in a chat room called 'Loneboy.' Jade is catfished and held captive by this man, but eventually escapes. Her uncaring parents and traumatic escape lead her to attempt suicide, sending her to the hospital, and eventually into therapy.
### *Cat (1999)*
Cathy/Cat lives under her mother Geraldine's strict moral code. Cat's father sexually assaults Cat repeatedly as she progresses through puberty. Confused and upset by this, Cat eventually has a panic attack and is put in a psychiatric ward. After learning the reason for her daughter's panic attack, Geraldine divorces Howard, and Cat is put in therapy.
## *Into the Garden* *(1999)*
The final book, from Cat's point of view, brings the four young OWPs together after the therapy sessions are complete. Cat is faced with the constant pressures of living alone and the threat of her perverted adoptive father coming back to try and take her again. Misty deals with her father's remarriage to a much younger woman, and Star thinks she has found the man of her dreams. Cat's father kidnaps her and eventually the girls, the police, and Dr. Marlowe come to her rescue. Dr. Marlowe takes Cat in, Jade and Misty go on to college, and Star marries.

**Foundation of Goodness** is a Sri Lankan non-governmental charitable organisation established in 1999 by Kushil Gunasekera. Main aim of the Foundation of Goodness is to bridge the urban-rural divide across Sri Lanka via empowering the less privileged rural communities to have equal opportunities to excel in life.
A major milestone in the expansion of the Foundation of Goodness's work was the 2004 tsunami that devastated the lives of thousands of Sri Lankans. Following the devastation left in the wake of the tsunami the Foundation of Goodness focused on post-disaster recovery. As the country gradually recovered from the tsunami the Foundation began to return to its founding goals of the provision of essential services, training and employment opportunities for rural communities with developing holistic Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centre model which today delivers a wide range of programmes via 20 centers across Sri Lanka.
## History
Kushil Gunasekera alongside with Muttiah Muralitharan and Ashan Malalasekera established the organization Foundation of Goodness in 1999 and it was registred as a Voluntary Social Service/Non-Governmental Organisation in the Ministry of Social Welfare in 2005.
The organization was initially committed to the wellbeing of the Seenigama region (in southern Sri Lanka) supporting local communities through a range of projects across areas including children's needs, education and training, health care and psycho-social support, empowering women, sport environment and good values.
## Tsunami 2004
Seenigama's fortunes looked bleak when the tsunami struck the area, as several houses collapsed along with the destruction of several livelihoods. The tsunami hit the region devastatingly, as the area has been scarred by years of sea coral mining. Kushil Gunasekera stepped up for rescue efforts with the support of cricketers Muttiah Muralitharan and Kumar Sangakkara to bring back the normalcy to Seenigama region.
Kushil Gunasekera donated his newly built villa in Seenigama where he grew up to the Foundation of Goodness and turned it into a model campus with empowerment sectors creating opportunities for these in need. His ancestors home with the sponsorship of the Marylebone Cricket Club, turned into the MCC Centre of Excellence – the hub of the Foundation’s work today.
Canadian rock singer and guitarist Bryan Adams decided to support Sri Lanka after the tsunami in 2004 by auctioning his guitar. With the donated money Foundation of Goodness built a 25-meter swimming pool in Seenigama and also transformed the surrounding land into a place full of sports activities for underprivileged village children.
## Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centre
The Village Heartbeat Empowerment Centres (VHC) It is a holistic rural development concept to eradicate poverty by bridging the urban-rural divide, using skills development and training as the means to enhance knowledge and attitudes of youth and communities who otherwise do not have access to the required resources.

After a long period of obscurity, it enjoyed a renewed popularity in the cocktail renaissance of the early 2000s after being discovered by bartender Murray Stenson of the Zig Zag Café in Seattle. | 2009-03-11T16:37:30 | # Last word (cocktail)
The **Last Word** is a gin-based cocktail originating at the Detroit Athletic Club in the 1910s, shortly before the start of Prohibition. After a long period of obscurity, it enjoyed a renewed popularity in the cocktail renaissance of the early 2000s after being discovered by bartender Murray Stenson of the Zig Zag Café in Seattle.
## Recipe and variations
The Last Word consists of equal amounts of gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and freshly pressed lime juice, which are combined in a shaker with ice. After shaking, the mix is poured through a cocktail strainer and served straight up without ice.
The Prohibition-era cocktail at the Detroit Athletic Club used bathtub gin, and today the club serves a recreation of that spirit (vodka, spices, herbs, citrus) in their Last Word. Other variants include the "Final Ward," created by the New York bartender Phil Ward, which substitues rye whiskey and lemon juice for gin and lime; and the "Last of the Oaxacans," which uses mezcal instead of gin.
## History
Ted Saucier's 1951 cocktail book *Bottoms Up!* states that the Last Word originated at the Detroit Athletic Club and had been brought to New York in the late 1910s by the acclaimed vaudeville monologist Frank Fogarty, who had been working in Detroit. This had led some authors to assume that Fogarty had invented the drink. While its inventor is unknown, Detroit Athletic Club archives revealed the Last Word to be on the menu as early as 1916, when it was the club's most expensive cocktail at a price of 35 cents (equivalent to $9.8 in 2023).
The Last Word fell into obscurity after World War II. In 2003, Seattle bartender Murray Stenson saw the recipe in a copy of *Bottoms Up!* and added it to the menu of the Zig Zag Café, where it became a regional cult hit before spreading in popularity across the country. Bartender Audrey Saunders of New York's Pegu Club called the drink a "perfectly balanced" palate cleanser with a "good bite."
The recipe subsequently reappeared in cocktail guides, including the Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide.
On May 20, 2011 Rachel Maddow demonstrated the preparation of the cocktail in her show on MSNBC, calling the drink the "last word for the end of the world." This was in reference to the rapture and end of world prediction of the Christian radio host Harold Camping and the MSBNC news program *The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell*, which covered Camping's predictions extensively.

34,240,276 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Sangam | First Sangam | The First Sangam period or the First Academy, also known as the Head Sangam period, was a legendary period in the history of Ancient Tamilakam said to be the foremost of Tamil Sangams, known in the Tamil language as koodal or "gathering". It is the first of three Tamil Sangams of Classical Tamil literature. While most historians accept the historicity of this literature, they also understand that some literary academies would have held Pandyan patronage. This is not to be confused with the historical Third Sangam period which lasted roughly from 300 BCE to 300 CE. | 2011-12-31T22:03:07 | # First Sangam
The **First Sangam period** (Tamil: முதற்சங்க பருவம், *Muthaṟchanga paruvam*) or the First Academy, also known as the **Head Sangam period** (Tamil: தலைச்சங்க பருவம், *Thalaichanga paruvam*), was a legendary period in the history of Ancient Tamilakam said to be the foremost of Tamil Sangams, known in the Tamil language as *koodal* (Tamil: கூடல்) or "gathering". It is the first of three Tamil Sangams of Classical Tamil literature. While most historians accept the historicity of this literature, they also understand that some literary academies would have held Pandyan patronage. This is not to be confused with the historical Third Sangam period which lasted roughly from 300 BCE to 300 CE.
## Formation
It was said to be located in *Then Madurai* under the patronage of 89 Pandya kings, during this period. It is said to have lasted for 4,440 years, and this would put the First Sangam between 9600 BCE to 5200 BCE.
Some are of the opinion that Agathiyar was the head of the Head Sangam period. However, this is unlikely as the first mention of him is from Ptolemy and no Sangam work refers to him. A more likely proposition is Lord Muruga (Kartikeya) being the head of the First Sangam as believed by others.
## Activity
Its function was to judge literary works and credit their worth. Later literary works like Iraiyanar Akaporul mention that 549 poets were members of it including Shiva, Murugan, Kuperan and seven Pandya kings. And 16,149 authors attended the convocation. Its chief works were Perumparipadal, Mudukuruku, Mudunarai and Kalariyavirai. It used Agattiyam as its grammar. There are no surviving works from this period.
Muranjiyur Mudinagar, a member of the first Tamil Sangam, is believed to have been a king of the Nagas in Jaffna. Siddha medicine is said to have been practiced during the First Sangam, and people "enjoyed mental and bodily health, respecting nature and living hygienically."
## Destruction
Iraiyanar Kalaviyal mentions a King Kadungon was the last ruler during the Talaiccankam. He is not to be confused with Kadungon who defeated the Kalabhras. It was washed away in a sea-deluge. This led to the Middle Sangam period. |

76,083,432 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeian_Red | Pompeian Red | Pompeian red refers to the color of iron oxide-based mineral pigment with a hue close to red ochre, so named because of its common use in ancient Roman painting and the fact that it is abundant in the murals of Pompeii. Studies have shown that walls with Pompeian red backgrounds were painted in various ways, of which the use of cinnabar was the most expensive. This term also defines the ochre-red color of a plaster characteristic of Roman ceramics. | 2024-02-13T02:42:03 | # Pompeian Red
**Pompeian red** refers to the color of iron oxide-based mineral pigment with a hue close to red ochre, so named because of its common use in ancient Roman painting and the fact that it is abundant in the murals of Pompeii. Studies have shown that walls with Pompeian red backgrounds were painted in various ways, of which the use of cinnabar was the most expensive.
This term also defines the ochre-red color of a plaster characteristic of Roman ceramics.
## History of the concept
The concept of Pompeian Red was born with the real rediscovery of the site of Pompeii in the 18th century and its influence on art and taste in Europe. The Café Procope in Paris, redecorated in the 1980s in a style reminiscent of late eighteenth-century taste, was covered with Pompeian red walls. In the 19th century, museums often adopted Pompeian red for their walls. It was widely used in the decoration of residences and palaces built in the 19th century to emulate the great Roman villas, such as the Pompeian House (now gone) built by Prince Napoléon-Jérôme Bonaparte on Avenue Montaigne in Paris, or the *Pompejanum* built by Ludwig I of Bavaria in Aschaffenburg.
Pompeian red is not a color defined from a chromatic point of view or according to the pigments used, but an aesthetic and cultural reference.
## Red pigments in Pompeii
It's important not to confuse the colors obtained with the pigments used to make them. The Latin vocabulary is imprecise in this area, and Pliny the Elder, who is the main source of colors in ancient painting, confuses the terms that designate one or the other. The French term *rouge pompéien* refers to a set of hues obtained, to dark reds varying roughly around red ochre, sometimes tending more or less toward brown ochre or violet, and not to a particular pigment.
The red pigments used in Pompeii to obtain Pompeian red include cinnabar, sinopis, and red ochre (rubrica). Painters also overlaid layers of different pigments.
It could also be yellow ochre, whose color was transformed into red ochre at the time of the eruption due to the effect of heat, a mutation already known to the ancients when exposed to heat above 700°C. A team led by Sergio Omarini has shown that an important part of the red walls of Pompeii must have been yellow ochre before the eruption of 799; the impression we have today of a strong predominance of red, which gave rise to the expression Pompeian red, does not, therefore, correspond to the impression that contemporaries had.

**Etena** (meaning "Eden") is a deserted village on Swains Island, American Samoa.
## Description and history
Etena is located on the south side of Swains Island about 0.75 miles east of the atoll's sole village and harbor, Taulaga. It was constructed during the 19th century as the location for the "residency" of the island's European owners and "proprietors," the Jennings family. A four-bedroom, colonial-style residence was constructed there and occupied by family members for several years, but has since been abandoned and is now in a state of disrepair and largely overgrown by island vegetation. A nearby graveyard contains the remains of several early island residents.
Etena is deserted, with all Swains Island residents living in Taulaga. |

**Canadian Monopoly** is an edition of the popular board game Monopoly. It features Canadian properties, railways, and utilities, rather than the original version which is based in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The Canadian edition was originally released in 1982. An updated version was released in 2000, and another updated version was issued in 2010.
## 1982 edition
The properties (clockwise) span Canada from east to west, with streets in St. John's at the beginning of the circuit, with streets in Vancouver and Victoria taking over for "Boardwalk" and "Park Place." All four railways are Canadian lines, and the police officer depicted on the "Go to Jail" space is a Mountie. A beaver token is included in the player pieces.
## 2000 edition
The 2000 edition brought further changes from the Monopoly standard. Player pieces now include a moose, a canoe, a hockey player, and the aforementioned beaver. "Community Chest" and "Chance" cards are now called "Federal" or "Provincial"; one card depicts striking oil in Alberta and being awarded the Order of Canada. Several of the properties, railways, and utilities were reordered or changed.
## 2010 edition
For the 2010 edition of the game, an online contest was conducted in which participants were asked to vote for cities to be on the new board. Unlike the earlier editions, properties were arranged in their final vote order, and are not in any specific geographic arrangement. In this edition of the game, there are no cities from the Maritimes, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, the Yukon and Nunavut. Hasbro said that this edition would feature updated Chance and Community Chest cards that will "highlight events and culturally relevant scenarios from Canada".

The album wouldn't be released for four years however when it was picked up by Columbia Records, Germany.

**Edgar Linton** is a fictional character in Emily Brontë's 1847 novel *Wuthering Heights*. His role in the story is that of Catherine Earnshaw's husband. He resides at Thrushcross Grange and falls prey to Heathcliff's schemes for revenge against his family.
Edgar is the father of his and Catherine's daughter, Catherine Linton, and the brother of Isabella Linton. He is the foil of Heathcliff as a character, as shown by his tender, kind, loving, gentle, and weak personality as opposed to Heathcliff's savage, tyrannical nature.
## Description
Edgar Linton is regarded as the complete opposite of Heathcliff. Edgar has fair hair, pale skin, and blue eyes, and leads a quiet life at Thrushcross Grange, a home of peace and goodwill until Heathcliff's return. Edgar is said to be constitutionally weak, as is the case throughout the Linton family. Edgar becomes very distressed when he realizes that he cannot match the fire and passion of his wayward wife and her soul mate, Heathcliff. Edgar loves Catherine dearly despite her passion for Heathcliff, and adores their daughter, Cathy, who is named after his wife. When Edgar's sister, Isabella, marries Heathcliff, Edgar insists that he will no longer have a relationship with her, and that they are brother and sister only in name. His features are described within *Wuthering Heights* as such:
> Mrs. Dean raised the candle, and I discerned a soft-featured face, exceedingly resembling the young lady at the Heights, but more pensive and amiable in expression. It formed a sweet picture. The long light hair curled slightly on the temples; the eyes were large and serious; the figure almost too graceful.

The place lies on the border of the marshland near the Oste. The river Mehe, a tributary of the Oste, has its estuary near Brobergen.
The village Brobergen was an own municipality, but then got part of Kranenburg in the course of a reformation of municipality borders in Lower Saxony in 1972.
## History
Kranenburg, first mentioned in 1375 as *Kronesborg* (literally *cranes castle*), belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen, established in 1180. While Brobergen was first the name of the landscape, which referred to a larger area along the Oste between Gräpel and Burweg. In a charter from 1141 it is said, that the Rudolf of Freckleben, as Rudolf II Count of Stade (from 1135 to his death in 1144), gave Brobergen as a fief to one of the three brothers Dudo, Adiko and Ricbert, after they founded the Benedictine *Our Lady's Friary* in Stade.
In 1286 it was first mentioned, that there was a village by the castle, which was the seat of the *von Brobergen* family. In 1380 the family *von Mandelsloh* and other Bremian and Verdian creditors tried to gain by violence the estates, which the bankrupt Prince-Archbishop Albert II pledged in return for credits. The creditors ravaged the city of Bremen and the entire Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen. The city of Bremen concluded a pact with the other cities, the Chapter, the Landsgemeinden of the free peasants of the marshlands, and indigenous families of nobility and ministerialis to fight the exfrediation by the *von Mandelslohs*. In 1381 the troops of the city of Bremen captured the castle in Kranenburg.
The family of *von Brobergen*, owning the castle, lasted until 1618, when it became extinct. At this time the manor was sold to merchants from Hamburg. In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric, including Kranenburg, was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown – interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712–1715) – and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown.
In 1807 the ephemeric Kingdom of Westphalia annexed the Duchy, before France annexed it in 1810. In 1813 the Duchy was restored to the Electorate of Hanover, which – after its upgrade to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 – incorporated the Duchy in a real union and the Ducal territory, including Kranenburg, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823. In 1837, after many changes of owner, the castle and the pertaining domain were purchased by the farmers of Brobergen, who pooled together to become free of the ownership of their land by other persons.

"**Mango**" is the tenth single by the Bay Area collective Peach Tree Rascals released on October 2, 2019 by Homemade Projects and 10K Projects.
## Background and composition
Peach Tree Rascals had spent the September relocating from San Jose to Los Angeles, celebrating the move with the song. The song talks about having optimism as life goes on and serves as a "reminder to filter out any negative vibes." When asked about the song, the band stated that "'Mango' is about creating positive thoughts even on the worst of days. We live in a world where the pressure put on us to do something we don’t want is too common. \[…\] ‘Mango’ captures the true essence of what \[Peach Tree Rascals\] is all about."
## Music video
The music video was directed by Jorge Olazaba over a three-day period in Santa Cruz and includes vivid colors and camera work that represents a carefree day for the band. The video also includes many hand-drawn animations layered over it. Olazaba stated about the video: "I had chosen this location for its vivid colors and overall carefree environment that Santa Cruz represents. As for the random little hand-drawn animations found throughout the video, it looks almost like a little kid started drawing all over his homework. I love that feeling of nostalgia and innocence that it gives off. I wanted the video to be lighthearted, imaginative, and a stress reliever for those viewing it and be as happy as we were making it."
## Critical reception
Kevin McStravick of Operation Every Band gave the song an OEB score of 8 and a popularity score of 6, saying that "\[t\]here’s a comfortable coolness in Peach Tree Rascals’ music, but the quirky, personable approach gives their sound life. It’s a sound both tripped out and fun, complex but easygoing. Deep, emotive soul like the slowed-down, bassy “Violet” pairs nicely against the funky, sunny nature of “Mariposa” \[…\] It’s a charming sound, but not too sugary to overstay its welcome and a groove that is refreshing in its own creative and youthful way."

He had a significant influence on the character and architecture of the Village of Carmel. From 1902 to 1940, he built most of the early houses in Carmel, nearly 350 buildings. He erected the first house in Pebble Beach and also in the Carmel Highlands. He founded M. J. Murphy, Inc., which continues to supply building material for the Monterey Peninsula. | 2024-03-07T04:55:26 | # Michael J. Murphy (builder)
**Michael James Murphy** (June 26, 1885 March 6, 1959) was an American master builder in the Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. He had a significant influence on the character and architecture of the Village of Carmel. From 1902 to 1940, he built most of the early houses in Carmel, nearly 350 buildings. He erected the first house in Pebble Beach and also in the Carmel Highlands. He founded M. J. Murphy, Inc., which continues to supply building material for the Monterey Peninsula.
## Early life
Murphy was born in Mendon, Utah, on June 26, 1885. He was one of the twelve children of Michael and Martha Emma Hagle and grew up on his family's cattle ranch. In 1891, his parents sold the ranch and separated. In 1900, Emma and her five unmarried children moved from Utah to Los Angeles.
## Career
In 1901, Emma brought Murphy and her youngest daughter to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. They were promised work to construct small Victorian cottages for real estate developer James Franklin Devendorf and his Carmel Development Company. During this period, he was the only contrator in Carmel.
Murphy developed his own designs and did most of the building himself. As his reputation grew, more people wanted Murphy built homes. Murphy went back to Idaho to marry Edna M. Owens (1886-1954) on February 13, 1904, in Malad, Oneida, Idaho. They had four children.
In 1902, Murphy, at age 17, built his first one-story wood-framed home, a 820 square feet (76 m<sup>2</sup>) cottage, for his mother and sister on Mission Street between fifth and sixth Avenues. The home was a mixture of Victorian and Craftsman Bungalow. It has a horizontal clapboard wood siding and a used brick exterior wall chimney located on the South side.
In 1990, to save the house from demolition, and with the support of the Carmel Heritage Society, the citizens of Carmel formed the First Murphy Foundation, which raised $16,000 for the relocation of the Murphy house. The City of Carmel offered city-owned property at Lincoln Street and Sixth Avenue for the relocation site. The house occupies part of First Murphy Park and bronze sculpture on a commemorative wood bench by George W. Lundeen, at the corner of Lincoln and Sixth.
In 1914, Murphy became a general contractor and in 1924, he established M. J. Murphy, Inc., a business which sold building supplies, did rock crushing and concrete services, and operated a lumber mill and cabinet shop. His company did the rock crushing and supplied wood materials for the construction of the Big Sur Coast Highway.
Murphy was hired by Robinson Jeffers in 1919 to build the first part of the Tor House a small, two-story cottage. During the first stage of construction Jeffers studied under Murphy as an apprentice. Jeffers went on to finish the house and build Hawk Tower in 1924.
Murphy was also a Carmel City Council member and helped with the plans for planting trees along Ocean Avenue.
Murphy retired in 1941 and turned his business over to his son James Franklin Murphy. He had a fish camp on the Mackenzie River near Vida, Oregon. His wife died in 1954.
## Death and legacy
Murphy died on March 6, 1959, in Vida, Oregon. He was buried in the Little Chapel-by-the-Sea.
In 1992, the First Murphy House became the home for the Carmel Heritage Society. The house was declared historical by the City of Carmel and was registered with the California Register of Historical Resources on November 7, 2002. The house is significant under California Register criterion 2, for the contributions of Murphy in establishing the early residential character of the village between 1902 and the early 1920s.
About 350 buildings in Carmel are attributed to Michael J. Murphy. It is estimated that about 80% of the homes in Carmel were designed or constructed by him in the 1930s.

Raised in Toronto, he attended the Jesuit-run Brebeuf College School and then received his B.A. in political sciences in 1982 from the University of Western Ontario. After graduating, he opted to put himself within arm's reach of Canada's political hearth and enrolled at the University of Ottawa's law school. While studying to earn his LL.B., he served as the President of the Young Liberals of Canada and worked in the offices of Prime Minister John Turner and Finance Minister Marc Lalonde. He graduated with a law degree in 1985.
Mahoney was executive assistant to Paul Martin, during the latter's unsuccessful 1990 leadership campaign. He was elected president of the Liberal Party of Ontario from 1992 to 1995. After the 1995 provincial election resulted in a Progressive Conservative victory, Mahoney traveled the province on what he "wryly called the Hugh Grant apology tour'". His position as party president led Mahoney to wide media exposure in the Ontario press, and saw him acting as a political commentator for many years on TVO's Studio Two, CTV, CBC, 580 CFRA News Talk Radio, and other television and radio networks. After his term expired, he remained a close confidant of many federal and provincial politicians and was often called upon to advise Paul Martin, Canada's finance minister from 1993-2002. In 2003, the two worked closely on a successful Liberal leadership campaign, ultimately leading to Martin's election as Liberal leader and appointment as Canada's 21st Prime Minister.
After incumbent Liberal MP Mac Harb was appointed to the Senate in 2003, Mahoney garnered the party's nomination in Ottawa-Centre. Expecting to run in a by-election, he and his opponents were thrust into a national election when one was called for the early summer of the following year. The riding was captured by New Democratic Party candidate Ed Broadbent, one of the most formidable and respected politicians in Canada's recent political history. After a short-lived minority parliament, Mahoney ran as the Liberal candidate again in the election of 2006, but the riding was carried by Broadbent's NDP successor, Paul Dewar.
Early in his legal career, Mahoney directed much of his energy towards practicing refugee law, in front of the Immigration Refugee Board and the Federal Court of Canada. After his law practice evolved into other areas, he remained involved as a volunteer, assisting a number of refugees including as volunteer counsel to the SOS Viet Phi, who remained stateless in the Philippines until 2005, Vietnamese refugees after fleeing their country in the wake of the Vietnam War. He also worked, for seven years, as a director of the Royal Ottawa Hospital's fundraising foundation, using legal contacts to bring much-needed funding to community healthcare.
Mahoney has pursued a number of personal interests at the professional level as both a lawyer, sometime lobbyist and business executive. He was a senior vice president and of Borealis Capital, an investment firm owned by the OMERS pension fund. He practises business, public, regulatory and immigration law at Fraser Milner Casgrain, one of Canada's "leading business law firms" and recently sat on the board of the Canadian-American Business Council. Mahoney has used his expertise in law, government and policymaking as a representative for numerous clients, including Rogers Cable . He represents corporations from sectors such as "telecommunications, broadcasting, transportation, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, high technology and financial services."
Mahoney's role as a lawyer and lobbyist while simultaneously hoping to become an MP was, at times, controversial. An article in the *Ottawa Citizen* reported Mahoney successfully lobbied the Liberal government to lower Canadian content requirements for Canadian Satellite Radio prior to obtaining his lobbyist license. However, Mahoney attended the event in question as a Liberal Party donor and the nonpartisan Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists ruled there was no wrongdoing and that he had not, in fact, lobbied the government. Mahoney, also, resigned his position at Borealis in 2004 to prevent a conflict of interest during his turns as a candidate in general election campaigns.

### Don Kuhl (Portage—Lisgar)
Kuhl is a graduate of the University of Manitoba School of Agriculture. He was a partner in the Southern Manitoba Potato Company for a number of years, and ran a family farm from 1978 to 2000. He has served on numerous farm organizations and was a Board Member of the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association from 1990 to 1999, serving as President for five years. Kuhl was also a vice-chairman of the Western Canadian Pulse Growers Association. Kuhl is anti-abortion on a personal level, though it is not clear if he supports government restrictions on abortion.
He served on the council of Winkler, Manitoba, from 1983 to 1998, and was the community's deputy mayor for three years. He was defeated in a bid to become mayor in 2002 (*Winnipeg Free Press*, 24 October 2002).
The 2004 election was his first bid for federal office. He finished second to Conservative incumbent Brian Pallister with 6,174 votes (17.74%).
### Peter Epp (Provencher)
Epp is a successful lawyer. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from the University of Manitoba, and received a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of British Columbia. Until 1996, he practiced corporate, commercial and real estate law for the Pitblado firm in Manitoba.
He was hired by the prestigious Linklaters firm of New York in 1996, and practiced international finance and corporate law. In 1998, he undertook a one-year special appointment at the World Bank with a focus on international development financing. He later worked at the Washington, D.C., and London, UK offices of Linklaters.
Epp returned to Canada in 2004 to contest the Provencher riding, and defeated Marcel Hacault, Lee Guetre and Herm Martens to win the Liberal nomination (*Winnipeg Free Press*, 6 February 2004). The Liberal Party had held the riding as recently as 2000, but faced a difficult struggle to reclaim it. Epp received 8,975 votes (24.92%), finishing second against Conservative incumbent Vic Toews.
During the campaign, Epp criticized Toews for proposing to repeal a section of the Criminal Code that gives homosexuals protection from hate crimes. Toews argued that the law threatened freedom of speech and religion; Epp argued that Toews was "pandering and exploiting the fears of faith communities" (*WFP*, 9 June 2004).
After the election, Epp accepted a position as the Senior Policy Advisor to The Honourable David Caplan, Ontario Minister of Public Infrastructure Renewal. Following that he was a partner at the London, England office of the leading global law firm White & Case and is now a partner at Herbert Smith LLP, a leading international law firm based in London.

**Alabama's 9th congressional district** was formerly apportioned to portions of central and western Alabama from 1893 until 1963 when the seat was lost due to reapportionment after the 1960 United States census.
## Highlights
Formed in 1893, the district was first represented by Louis Washington Turpin, a self-educated tax assessor from Hale County. The district was represented by Democrats during the whole of its existence except from 1896–1897 when Truman Heminway Aldrich, a Republican, unseated Oscar W. Underwood in a post-election contest.
The 1960 United States census and the subsequent reapportionment decreased Alabama's representation in the United States Congress.
## History

**Aselefech Mergia Medessa** (Oromo: *Asallafach Margaa Mardaasaa*; Amharic: አሰለፈች መርጊያ; born 23 January 1985) is an Ethiopian long-distance runner who competes in the marathon. She was a bronze medallist in the event at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics. She is a two-time winner of the Dubai Marathon and has finished in the top three at the Paris and London Marathons. She was retrospectively confirmed as the winner of the 2010 London Marathon after the top two were disqualified. Her personal best of 2:19:31 hours is a former Ethiopian record for the distance and places her within the top ten of all-time.
## Career
She began taking part in professional road races in 2006, starting with a seventh-place finish at the Delhi Half Marathon. She won the Plymouth Half Marathon in 2007, finishing with a time of 1:14:50. She was second in the women's 10K in Glasgow, Scotland, finishing behind Vivian Cheruiyot but setting a personal best of 32:19 for the distance.
At the 2008 World Cross Country Championships she finished sixteenth in the senior race. With five Ethiopian runners ahead of her she missed out for a place on the victorious Ethiopian team. That year she won the Delhi Half Marathon with a personal best run of 1:08:17. She closed the year by winning a silver medal at the 2008 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships.
She made her marathon debut in April 2009 at the Paris Marathon, where she ran 2:25:02 for second place. She topped the podium at the World 10K Bangalore the following month, just holding off a charge from Mary Keitany to win the race in 32:08. Mergia won the bronze medal in the women's marathon at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, recording a time of 2:25:32.
Aselefech improved her half marathon personal best to 1:07:22 at the 2010 Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon. Despite the fast time, this was only enough for third place behind Elvan Abeylegesse and Mare Dibaba. More improvements came at the 2010 London Marathon: although initially finishing third with a run of 2:22:38, improving her best by over two and a half minutes, she was subsequently declared the winner after doping convictions nullified results of the first two runners. She returned to defend her Bangalore 10K title in May, but was beaten to the tape by compatriot Wude Ayalew and, finishing two seconds behind her, Mergia had to settle for the runner-up position. She regained her Delhi Half Marathon title in November: learning from the poor pacing which had left her in ninth place the previous year, she stuck to the front and won the race in a sprint finish ahead of Merima Mohammed.
She came close to her personal best with a win at the 2011 Dubai Marathon, just missed the course record mark, but gained the US$250,000 first place prize. She was chosen for the Ethiopian marathon team at the 2011 World Championships and was in twelfth at the 40 km point of the race, but dropped out in the final kilometres. In October she ran at the Great South Run and easily saw off a challenge from Doris Changeywo to win the 10-mile race. An attempt to defend her Delhi Half Marathon title ended in a third-place finish, although she improved her best time by a second.
In January 2012, Aselefech won the Dubai Marathon for the second time, setting an Ethiopian record of 2:19:31 hours to break the course record and become the seventh fastest woman ever over the distance.
In January 2015, Aselefech won the Dubai Marathon for the third time, 2:20:02.

6,858,862 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_third | Neutral third | A neutral third is a musical interval wider than a minor third but narrower than a major third, named by Jan Pieter Land in 1880. Land makes reference to the neutral third attributed to Zalzal, described by Al-Farabi as corresponding to a ratio of 27:22 and by Avicenna as 39:32. The Zalzalian third may have been a mobile interval. Three distinct intervals may be termed neutral thirds: The undecimal neutral third has a ratio of 11:9 between the frequencies of the two tones, or about 347.41 cents. This ratio is the mathematical mediant of the major third 5/4 and the minor third 6/5, and as such, has the property that if harmonic notes of frequency f and (11/9) f are played together, the beat frequency of the 5th harmonic of the lower pitch against the 4th of the upper, i.e. | 5 f − 4 f | = f , is the same as the beat frequency of the 6th harmonic of the lower pitch against the 5th of the upper, i.e. | 6 f − 5 f | = | − f | = f . In this sense, it is the unique ratio which is equally well-tuned as a major and minor third.
A tridecimal neutral third has a ratio of 16:13 between the frequencies of the two tones, or about 359.47 cents. This is the largest neutral third, and occurs infrequently in music, as little music utilizes the 13th harmonic. It is the mediant of the septimal major third 9/7 and septimal minor third 7/6, and as such, enjoys an analogous property with regard to the beating of the corresponding harmonics as above. That is, | 7 f − 6 f | = | 9 f − 7 f | = f .
An equal-tempered neutral third is characterized by a difference of 350 cents between the two tones, slightly wider than the 11:9 ratio, and exactly half of an equal-tempered perfect fifth. These intervals are all within about 12 cents and are difficult for most people to distinguish by ear. Neutral thirds are roughly a quarter tone sharp from 12 equal temperament minor thirds and a quarter tone flat from 12-ET major thirds. In just intonation, as well as in tunings such as 31-ET, 41-ET, or 72-ET, which more closely approximate just intonation, the intervals are closer together. In addition to the above examples, a square root neutral third can be characterized by a ratio of 3 / 2 between two frequencies, being exactly half of a just perfect fifth of 3/2 and measuring about 350.98 cents. Such a definition stems from the two thirds traditionally making a fifth-based triad. A triad formed by two neutral thirds is neither major nor minor, thus the neutral thirds triad is ambiguous. While it is not found in twelve tone equal temperament it is found in others such as the quarter tone scale and 31-tet . | 2023-09-30T07:53:50 | # Neutral third
A **neutral third** is a musical interval wider than a minor third play but narrower than a major third play, named by Jan Pieter Land in 1880. Land makes reference to the neutral third attributed to Zalzal (8th c.), described by Al-Farabi (10th c.) as corresponding to a ratio of 27:22 (354.5 cents) and by Avicenna (Ibn Sina, 11th c.) as 39:32 (342.5 cents). The Zalzalian third may have been a mobile interval.
Three distinct intervals may be termed neutral thirds:
* The *undecimal neutral third* has a ratio of 11:9 between the frequencies of the two tones, or about 347.41 cents play. This ratio is the mathematical mediant of the major third 5/4 and the minor third 6/5, and as such, has the property that if harmonic notes of frequency *f* and (11/9) *f* are played together, the beat frequency of the 5th harmonic of the lower pitch against the 4th of the upper, i.e. $|5f-4(11/9)f|=(1/9)f$, is the same as the beat frequency of the 6th harmonic of the lower pitch against the 5th of the upper, i.e. $|6f-5(11/9)f|=|-(1/9)f|=(1/9)f$. In this sense, it is the unique ratio which is equally well-tuned as a major and minor third.
* A *tridecimal neutral third* play has a ratio of 16:13 between the frequencies of the two tones, or about 359.47 cents. This is the largest neutral third, and occurs infrequently in music, as little music utilizes the 13th harmonic. It is the mediant of the septimal major third 9/7 and septimal minor third 7/6, and as such, enjoys an analogous property with regard to the beating of the corresponding harmonics as above. That is, $|7f-6(16/13)f|=|9f-7(16/13)f|=(5/13)f$.
* An *equal-tempered neutral third* play is characterized by a difference of 350 cents between the two tones, slightly wider than the 11:9 ratio, and exactly half of an equal-tempered perfect fifth.
These intervals are all within about 12 cents and are difficult for most people to distinguish by ear. Neutral thirds are roughly a quarter tone sharp from 12 equal temperament minor thirds and a quarter tone flat from 12-ET major thirds. In just intonation, as well as in tunings such as 31-ET, 41-ET, or 72-ET, which more closely approximate just intonation, the intervals are closer together.
In addition to the above examples, a *square root neutral third* can be characterized by a ratio of $\sqrt {3/2}$ between two frequencies, being exactly half of a just perfect fifth of 3/2 and measuring about 350.98 cents. Such a definition stems from the two thirds traditionally making a fifth-based triad.
A triad formed by two neutral thirds is neither major nor minor, thus the **neutral thirds triad** is ambiguous. While it is not found in twelve tone equal temperament it is found in others such as the quarter tone scale Play and 31-tet Play.
## Occurrence in human music
### In infants' song
Infants experiment with singing, and a few studies of individual infants' singing found that neutral thirds regularly arise in their improvisations. In two separate case studies of the progression and development of these improvisations, neutral thirds were found to arise in infants' songs after major and minor seconds and thirds, but before intervals smaller than a semitone and also before intervals as large as a perfect fourth or larger.
### In modern classical Western music
The neutral third has been used by a number of modern composers, including Charles Ives, James Tenney, and Gayle Young.
### In traditional music
Claudius Ptolemy describes an "even diatonic" tuning which uses two justly tuned neutral thirds in *Harmonikon* built off the 12:11 and 11:10 neutral seconds in compound intervals with 9:8 and 10:9 whole tones, forming the intervals: (12/11)\*(9/8) = 27/22, (11/10)\*(10/9) = 11/9. The latter of these is an interval found in the harmonic series as the interval between partials 9 and 11.
The equal-tempered neutral third may be found in the quarter tone scale and in some traditional Arab music (see also Arab tone system). Undecimal neutral thirds appear in traditional Georgian music. Neutral thirds are also found in American folk music.
Blue notes (a note found in country music, blues, and some rock music) on the third note of a scale can be seen as a variant of a neutral third with the tonic, as they fall in between a major third and a minor third. Similarly the blue note on the seventh note of the scale can be seen as a neutral third with the dominant.
## In equal temperaments
Two steps of seven-tone equal temperament form an interval of 342.8571 cents, which is within 5 cents of 347.4079 for the undecimal (11:9) neutral third. This is an equal temperament in reasonably common use, at least in the form of "near seven equal", as it is a tuning used for Thai music as well as the Ugandan Chopi tradition of music.
The neutral third also has good approximations in other commonly used equal temperaments including 24-ET (7 steps, 350 cents) and similarly by all multiples of 24 equal steps such as 48-ET and 72-ET, 31-ET (9 steps, 348.39), 34-ET (10 steps, 352.941 cents), 41-ET (12 steps, 351.22 cents), and slightly less closely by 53-ET (15 steps, 339.62 cents).
Close approximations to the tridecimal neutral third (16:13) appear in 53-ET and 72-ET. Both of these temperaments distinguish between the tridecimal (16:13) and undecimal (11:9) neutral thirds. All the other tuning systems mentioned above fail to distinguish between these intervals; they temper out the comma 144:143.

The **99th Infantry Regiment** (French - *99e régiment d'infanterie* or *99e RI*) was an infantry regiment of the French Army. It was formed in 1791 by renaming the Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment and fought in the French Revolutionary Wars before being merged into another unit in 1803. A new and unrelated 99th Infantry Regiment was formed in 1855 and took on the traditions of the previous regiment.
## History
On 1 January 1791 the National Constituent Assembly decided to remove the Royal Deux-Ponts Regiment's royal affiliation and rename it the 99th Line Infantry Regiment. On 21 July that year it lost its original status as a foreign-raised regiment and was fully integrated into the French army. It helped pursue the fleeing Prussians at Valmy and at Jemmapes in 1792 and in the battles of Blaton, Neerwinden and Kaiserslautern in 1793.
In 1793 it also became the 99th Battle Demi-Brigade, formed of the 1st Battalion of the 50th Line Infantry Regiment and the 4th and 9th Volunteer Battalions of Les Bouches-due-Rhône. It fought at the battle of Fleurus (1794) before being transferred to the armée d'Italie, in which it fought at Ponte-di-Nova on 16 April, Sotta on 26 May and Rochetta on 21 September. It then fought at Loano on 22 November 1795 and at Voltri, Millesimo, Dego, Montenotte, Fombio and Borghetto during the 1796 Italian campaign.
Its composition was also changed in 1796 - from then on it was made up of the 127th Battle Demi-Brigade (1st Battalion of the 68th Line Infantry Regiment, 2nd Eure Volunteer Battalion and 5th Haute-Marne Volunteer Battalion) and 172nd Battle Demi-Brigade (2nd Battalion of the 94th Line Infantry Regiment, 4th Marne Volunteer Battalion and 6th Marne Volunteer Battalion). It continued serving in 1796, taking part in the fighting at Limburg an der Lahn, Altenkirchen, Neubof and Mainz.
It was sent back to Italy in 1798, fighting in 1799 at the Trebbia, Bassignana, Novi, Fossano and Mondovi and in 1800 in the Var campaign and the crossing of the Mincio. In 1803 the unit was amalgamated with the 62nd Line Infantry Regiment.

**Angélica García Arrieta** (27 August 1958 – 22 December 2018) was a Mexican public accountant and politician, Senator in the LXIV Legislature of the Mexican Congress, and founder of the National Regeneration Movement political party.
## Life
García Arrieta, a native of Tetepango, obtained her degree in accounting in 1981 from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo. She worked as an auditor in the 1980s at the general hospital of Pachuca, at the state CONASUPO distributor, and at DICONSA. In 1999, she was elected to a three-year term as a local deputy in the Hidalgo state legislature. In 2005, García Arrieta served as the coordinator of get-out-the-vote efforts for Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Tepeapulco, Hidalgo; at the time, both she and López Obrador were members of the Party of the Democratic Revolution. After the 2012 election, she became a founding member of MORENA and rose to become the secretary general of the state party in Hidalgo. García Arrieta was elected to the Senate in June 2018, sharing a ticket with Julio Ramón Menchaca Salazar. She was the secretary of the Mining and Regional Development Commission and sat on four other commissions in the Senate.
Her death was announced by Senate leader Martí Batres Guadarrama on 22 December 2018. Friends of the senator stated she died due to complications of diabetes. Alternate senator María Merced González González, an environmental activist and accountant, was sworn in to replace her on January 2, 2019.

Processing and Cleaning Pipeline
Our conversion pipeline combines several sophisticated techniques to transform raw Wikipedia HTML into high-quality Markdown:
HTML Preprocessing: We start with the Enterprise HTML dump in Extended DOLMA format, which provides HTML representations of Wikipedia articles with metadata.
Structural Cleanup
- Mathematical equations are converted from MathML to LaTeX notation with appropriate delimiters
- Infoboxes are relocated to a dedicated section at the end of each article
- Reference sections and citations are removed to reduce noise and focus on the informative content
DOM Simplification: We employ a custom-enhanced version of Resiliparse that preserves semantic HTML structure. Rather than flattening to plain text, we retain important elements like headings, paragraphs, lists while removing scripts, tracking code, and boilerplate.
Markdown Conversion: Our custom Markdownify implementation transforms the simplified DOM into clean Markdown with these characteristics:
- Consistent heading format using the ATX style (# Heading)
- Removal of Wikipedia-specific navigation elements and edit buttons
- Preservation of tables in GitHub-flavored Markdown
- Standardized list formatting
The final output stores each article as a JSON object containing the Markdown text and essential metadata (ID, title, URL, creation date, and optional abstract).
Quality Filtering: Articles are discarded when they match any of these criteria:
- More than 50% digits
- Fewer than 70 words
- More than 50% special characters These filters were applied to remove statistical tables, list-only pages, and navigation stubs.
Usage Example
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset(
"marin-community/wikipedia-markdown",
split="train",
streaming=True
)
for article in ds.take(3):
print(article["text"])
