She was, in her prepubescent years, a member of the Girl Scouts, during which time she was forced to attend a nature camping event, a memory she detests. This was revealed in Episode #402 "Antisocial Climbers". Other camping events Jane has partaken in include Mr O'Neill's overnight field trip to local woodlands (as depicted in Episode #402) and a summer vacation to the Ashfield Artists' Colony (as depicted in the Daria telemovie, Is It Fall Yet?).

Ashe envisioned recording Broonzy in a style reminiscent of his 1930s records: as a solo performer accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. According to musicologist Jeff Place, Broonzy's stripped-down approach brought his singing and lyrics to the forefront. Although fusing folk with blues influences was common during the folk revival, particularly with Lead Belly and Josh White, Broonzy was arguably the most chronicled bluesman of the era. Asch and Smith had partaken in several projects with Broonzy, including albums and interviews, before he was forced to retire from music in early 1957, due to complications from throat cancer.

The Indian Navy has established cooperative activities with South East Asia, and has also assisted East African and island states. The Bangladesh Navy has also prioritised maritime security as an essential element to the stability of the country, so that they can benefit from the blue economy for economic development. In order to establish the security necessary for this, they have facilitated joint exercises with the US Navy and Special Force in the Exclusive Economic zone, which both Japan and India have partaken in during the last decade. The Bangladesh Navy has also engaged in specific anti- smuggling operations, which target drug trafficking.

Karen later gets revenge, but is depicted as just as seedy and conniving as the men who had partaken in this bet and exploited her. Madonna was frustrated with the role and the negative reception, which she vented into her lyrics. The result was a set of three songs—"Till Death Do Us Part", "Promise to Try" and "Oh Father"—where she sought to purge herself from her personal paranoia and demons. Written with producer Patrick Leonard, in "Oh Father" the singer wanted to revisit the pain and confusion that had characterized her relationship with her father.

The school was originally designed to be a full circle with a courtyard in the middle, but because of lack of funding, poor spending, and lack of support the school was completed as a half circle. Within the courtyard of the school stands a statue of The Holy Trinity - images of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In recent years, the Holy Trinity Trojans have developed outstanding athletic programs which have seen much success with the three students that have partaken in our athletic programs. In March 2009, Trinity gave the very first renovation of the school, to only the Art Room, the Wood Shop Lab, and the Foods Lab.

At the same time the Anglican Church in North America was recognized as the legitimate Anglican body in the United States.

The Super Rallye was lowered by , had a more steeply raked windshield, a higher aluminium content, and plexiglass side windows - all in the name of aerodynamics and lower weight. In addition to the ten regular series cars, an additional car was built from a 1962 Le Mans Coach. The Super Rallye was often seen in racing, having partaken in the 1960 and 1961 Le Mans 24 Hours, the 1961 Rallye Monte Carlo, in the Tour de France Automobile, and countless lesser regional races.

The Alzheimer's Association has partaken in many opportunities to assist in diagnosing and treating Alzheimer's Disease. In 1987 the Alzheimer's Association teamed up with the NIA and Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Company (now known as Pfizer) and helped launch and recruit participants for clinical trials of the first drug to specifically target symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease. In 1995, the Alzheimer's Association funded the development of a mouse model of a rare neurodegenerative disorder, thus laying down the technical foundation for Alzheimer's mouse models. In 2003, the Alzheimer's Association partnered with the NIA in finding participants for the National Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Study in order to identify Alzheimer's risk in genes.

Voiced by Jarrad Wright Mike Nolan, often nicknamed "Nolesy" is a local resident of Brown Town and self described "jack of all trades", regarding any work other than 'cashies' as being unworthy of his time. Mike works at various places around Brown Town and is close friends with the rest of the main cast. Much like them, Mike is an avid fan of recreational drug use, as well as a heavy smoker, having chain-smoked since the age of 4 years old. He and Quinton are the only two human members of the main cast, and as such are shown to usually be affected to a greater degree by the constant substance abuse partaken in by the group.

Prior to his arrival in Andorra, little is known about Skossyreff. When the Russian revolution of 1917 broke out, Skossyreff was able to seek political asylum in England, where he enlisted for around two years in the British army for the end of World War I. He told The Times that he had served in the Royal Naval Air Service Armoured Service, which was sent to Russia to fight against the Germans. Following World War I, Skossyreff was mentioned in multiple newspapers for Cheque fraud and swindling of a gold watch. He was alleged to have served in the British Foreign Office, and partaken in several classified missions which took him to Siberia, Japan and the United States.

HMS's association with powerboats had already begun while living in London, and his love of the sea was largely attributable to his younger years living in Cornwall near the coastal town of Fowey. After meeting the celebrated war veteran, former Colditz POW and global adventurer Michael Alexander, Montgomery-Swan, along with Jan Falkowski, Paul Lemmer, Tony Lee-Elliott and others, helped form the British Inflatable Boat Owners Association.

Cepeda Samudio harbored an intense love and knowledge of films, and often wrote in his columns criticisms on the subject. García Márquez writes that his sustenance as a film critic would not have been possible had he not partaken in "the traveling school of Álvaro Cepeda". The two eventually made a short black and white feature together called La langosta azul (The Blue Lobster) (1954), which they co-wrote and directed based on an idea by Cepeda Samudio; García Márquez states that he conceded to take part in its creation as "it had a large dose of lunacy to make it seem like ours." The film still occasionally makes appearances at "daring festivals" around the world, with the help of Cepeda Samudio's wife, Tita Cepeda.

The 6th Congress saw the weakening of the authority of those people who supported faster and more radical economic reforms. Leading officials who was not elected to the Central Committee were Khamphoui Keoboualapha, the Chairman of the Committee for Planning and Cooperation, Minister of Finance Khamsai Souphanouvong and Phao Bounnaphon, the Minister of Communications. Of the 49 members elected to the 6th Central Committee, 76 percent of them had joined the party before 1975, when the party seized power and the Lao People's Democratic Republic was established. Only three members of the Central Committee had been members of the Indochinese Communist Party, and less than 10 percent of the Central Committee members had not partaken in the revolutionary struggle to seize power in 1975.

In the past, these have included Paradise Falls, KinK, and Naked Josh. Another of these shows, the low-budget Trailer Park Boys became a bona fide national phenomenon, spawning DVDs, merchandising tie-ins, and two feature films (Trailer Park Boys: The Movie and Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day). The success of Trailer Park Boys led to the increasing prominence of edgy and risqué programming on Showcase (which at the time used the tagline "Television Without Borders"), including a block consisting entirely of its eroticism-themed shows known as Fridays Without Borders. In recent years, Showcase has partaken in international co- productions. The channel was formerly subject to a condition of licence obligating it to air 100% Canadian content between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

The NFL has also partaken in clean zone policies around Super Bowl sites to protect against saturation ambush marketing. The XFL, a forthcoming rival league, floated a large blimp designed to resemble the XFL's signature red and black Spalding football over the Oakland Coliseum during an Oakland Raiders playoff game on January 6, 2001. The league intended to do so again on January 14 for the AFC championship game, but on the 9th, the blimp was let loose unmanned after a failed attempt to land it at Oakland International Airport, and it crashed over a waterfront restaurant on the Oakland Estuary after getting caught on a sailboat mast. The blimp sustained US$2.5 million worth of damage, and the incident was later considered to be an omen for the XFL's eventual failure.

Alexander McLeod was a Scottish-Canadian who served as sheriff in Niagara, Ontario. After the Upper Canada Rebellion, he boasted that he had partaken in the 1837 Caroline Affair, the sinking of an American steamboat that had been supplying William Lyon Mackenzie's rebels with arms. Three years later, he was arrested by the United States and charged with the murder of the sailor killed in the attack, but his incarceration infuriated Canada and Great Britain, which demanded his repatriation in the strongest terms; suggesting that any action taken against the Caroline had been taken under orders, and the responsibility lay with Great Britain, not McLeod himself.National Intelligencer, February 1, 1842 President Martin van Buren ignored the demands for repatriation,Moore: A digest of international law as embodied in diplomatic discussions, treaties and other international agreements, vol.

More than 100 businesses, organization and enterprises have partaken in the Bellona foundation's B7-program, since it was introduced in 1998.

The organization's cooperation with industry and business came about as a result of recognition by the Bellona Foundation that the environmental movement alone would not be able to impel the necessary changes in order to counter the impending threats against environment.

However, recently there has been a resurgence for Australian tennis, with the Fed Cup team returning to the World Group in 2011 and 2013, and Stosur becoming a consistent top ten singles player and becoming the first Australian woman since 1980 to win a Grand Slam title at the 2011 US Open. Young Australian tennis players such as 2012 Fed Cup debutant Olivia Rogowska and Ashleigh Barty are also considered to make future rises in the rankings. The Australian team is one of four nations to compete in every edition of the Fed Cup since its initiation; Margaret Court (then known as Margaret Smith), Jan O'Neill and Lesley Turner partook in the first competition. Wendy Turnbull has partaken in the most ties, and has also achieved the most doubles wins and most total wins for an Australian in Fed Cup.

The Phillies had used all available pitchers in the 15-inning game and Velasquez was unavailable to pitch having been used against the Giants two days prior, and had partaken in a bullpen session that day. He recorded an outfield assist on a run-saving play at the plate and nearly had a second to prevent the go-ahead run in the 15th. The Sox took the lead on the play by one run and on the very next play Velasquez made a diving snag for out number three containing the damage and keeping it a one-run game. The Sox went on to win the game. In 2019 he was 7-8 with a 4.91 ERA, as in 33 games (23 starts) he pitched 117.1 innings and struck out 130 batters (averaging 10.0 strikeouts per 9 innings) while hitting nine batters (9th-most in the NL).

Link analysis is a subset of network analysis, exploring associations between objects. An example may be examining the addresses of suspects and victims, the telephone numbers they have dialed and financial transactions that they have partaken in during a given timeframe, and the familial relationships between these subjects as a part of police investigation. Link analysis here provides the crucial relationships and associations between very many objects of different types that are not apparent from isolated pieces of information. Computer-assisted or fully automatic computer-based link analysis is increasingly employed by banks and insurance agencies in fraud detection, by telecommunication operators in telecommunication network analysis, by medical sector in epidemiology and pharmacology, in law enforcement investigations, by search engines for relevance rating (and conversely by the spammers for spamdexing and by business owners for search engine optimization), and everywhere else where relationships between many objects have to be analyzed.

In the late 1940s until 1966, Gollobin's practice expanded as the need for legal representation for citizens and non- citizens alike called before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC; HUAC) and the Senate International Security Committee. In 1948 before HUAC, Gollobin provided counsel to Victor Perlo, whom Elizabeth Bentley and Whittaker Chambers alleged had led (Bentley's "Perlo Group") and partaken in (Chambers's "Ware Group") a communist "apparatus" in Washington made up of Federal officials. (NLG fellow Carol Weiss King represented J. Peters in related hearings.) In 1960 Gollobin devised a strategy which turned the tables with HUAC as evident in the hearings in April 1964 in Buffalo, NY where witnesses skillfully and relentlessly challenged the legitimacy of the Committee (, Pam Sporn). In 1964 Gollobin fought for 16 years (1951–1967), all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States, before victory was achieved in Hong Hai Chew v.

Present on this trip was O. Y. U. Borzakovskyy, and research workers from the Chapli Reserve who had partaken in the previous excursion. These individuals were the Heads of the Department of the Scientific Zoological Station, O. O. Schumer and entomologist S. I. Medvedev. In his report of the expedition, Sharleman noted the urgent need to strengthen reserve protection and inform nearby villages about environmental protection. He also acknowledged the need for more detailed study of coastal reserves and the need for permanent research stations in reserve areas.Sharleman M.

In January 2015, Monster Inc. sued Beats for fraud, alleging that the company had used illicit tactics to force Monster out of the venture whilst retaining rights to the technologies and products that it had co-developed, and engaged in collusion to harm Monster's own audio products business. Monster argued that the acquisition of Beats by HTC and its founders' subsequent buyback was a "sham" to take control of Monster's stake in the company—which could have been valued at over $100 million in the Apple purchase, that the company had "concealed" the role of Monster and its CEO Noel Lee in the design and engineering of its products, and that "had the partnership expired on its own terms, there would have been no transfer of Monster's years of work [onto the company]". Monster also alleged that Beats had partaken in anti-competitive practices with retailers to force those offering Beats products to not offer Monster's competing products.

After the Holmes fight, Cooney had fought only sporadically, in the seven plus years between his fight with Holmes and Foreman, Cooney had only partaken in four fights and had completely sat out the entire years of 1983, 1985, 1988 and 1989. Before his fight with Foreman, Cooney's last fight had been against then-undefeated The Ring and lineal heavyweight champion Michael Spinks two and a half year earlier on June 15, 1987, a fight Cooney would lose by knockout in the fifth round. Despite criticism of both fighters advanced ages, with critics in the media dubbing the fight "The Geezers at Caesars","Geezers at Caesars" Nothing but a Joke, Orlando Sentinel article, 1990-01-09, Retrieved on 2014-04-06 there was some considerable hype surrounding the fight and it was decided that the bout would air on pay-per-view. There was even added drama with Cooney enlisting Foreman's long-time trainer Gil Clancy to train him for the fight.

The final text was presented to the Plenary Session of the Conference and was officially adopted on July 22 as the Bretton Woods Resolution VI. The first aim of the resolution stated that neutral nations were to take immediate action to prevent the transfer of assets from Axis locations to neutral countries. The second aim stated that neutral countries were to prevent the concealment of German assets. Resolution VI provided Operation Safehaven with the legal base necessary to pursue its aims. In September 1944 the US sent directives to neutral countries as well as those nations that had partaken in the Bretton Woods Conference to stress the urgency in establishing procedures that would achieve the goals of Resolution VI. Urgent action was taken by the US and Britain following the approval of Resolution VI. The British Ministry of Economic Warfare formed a Safehaven division that worked with American officials to merge the intelligence collected.

US President Barack Obama to Canada, February 19, 2009 During a tour of Nunavut in early 2009, the Governor General again garnered headlines when she participated in a traditional Inuit seal feast at a community festival, gutting a seal that had been recently killed by hunters and consuming a piece of the raw heart. While both her immediate predecessor and Prince Charles had previously partaken in raw seal meat in the Canadian Arctic, Jean's simple act drew attention, both positive and negative, because of its coincidence with the European Parliament's recent ban on the import of Canadian seal products. Dining on seal was a traditional aspect of the annual event and it was proper etiquette for the Governor General, as a guest, to take part. When asked by reporters what her motivations were, Jean replied: "Take from that what you will." A series of state visits followed in 2009, to Norway, Croatia, Greece, and Mexico, as well as another visit to Canadian troops in Afghanistan from September 8–9.

The title of Reality Hunger comes from Shields's idea that people today, living in an increasingly fragmentary culture, are experiencing a growing "hunger" for doses of real life injected into the art they experience. According to his argument, traditional genres, such as realist fiction, are failing to adequately reflect lived reality because they have gone largely unchanged since their early development, and are therefore obsessed with current events because society rarely experiences any. The role of plagiarism in art also constitutes a major theme. Shields argues that plagiarism is something that artists have always partaken in, and that only recently has the act acquired the stigma it has, due in large part to copyright legislation and the culture surrounding it. Rather than shy away from wholesale appropriation, Shields encourages it, stating that “reality-based art hijacks its material and doesn’t apologize.” In support of this argument, the work includes a chapter on hip-hop, which, in addition to examining other facets of the genre, discusses the genre's use of DJing, sampling, and remixing.
