Archaeologists estimate that the first inhabitants of Sussex County, the southernmost county in Delaware, arrived between 10,000 and 14,000 years ago. Native Americans in Sussex County called themselves by the various tribal names of the Algonquin Nation. The most prominent tribes in the area were the Leni Lenape and Nanticoke tribes. The people settled along the numerous bodies of water in the area where they were able to harvest fish, oysters, and other shellfish in the fall and winter. In the warmer months they planted crops, and hunted deer and other small mammals as larger game was not present in the area.
There is no universally agreed upon group known to be the first to settle in Sussex County. In the early years of exploration, from 1593 to 1630, many feel the Spanish or Portuguese were probably the first Europeans to see the Delaware River and the lands of present day Sussex County.
Henry Hudson, on his expedition for the Dutch West India Company, discovered the Delaware River in 1609. Attempting to following him, Samuel Argall, an English explorer, was blown off course in 1610 and landed in a strange bay that he named after the Governor of Virginia, Thomas West, Lord De La Warr.
In the first half of 1613, Cornelius Jacobsen Mey, a Dutch navigator, discovered and named both Cape May, New Jersey and Cape Henlopen, (originally Hindlopen) in the Delaware Bay. Later it was found that what May had named Henlopen, was actually Fenwick Island protruding into the Atlantic Ocean, and the name of the cape was moved to its present location just east of Lewes.
Sussex County was the site of the first European settlement in Delaware, a trading post named Zwaanendael at the present site of Lewes. On June 3, 1631, Dutch captain David Pietersen de Vries landed along the shores of the Delaware to establish a whaling colony in the mid-Atlantic of the New World. The colony only lasted until 1632, when De Vries left. Upon returning to Zwaanendael that December, he found the Indian tribes had killed his men and burned the colony. The Dutch then set about settling the area once again.
The original boundaries were undefined with boundary disputes between the family of William Penn, who claimed the county extended to Fenwick Island, and Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore, who claimed the county ended at Lewes with all the land south of that belonging to Somerset County. Maryland and Pennsylvania both claimed the land between the 39th and 40th parallels according to the charters granted to each colony. The 'Three Lower Counties' (Delaware) along Delaware Bay moved into the Penn sphere of settlement, and later became the Delaware Colony, a satellite of Pennsylvania.
In 1732 the proprietary governor of Maryland, Charles Calvert, signed an agreement with William Penn's sons which drew a line somewhere in between, and also renounced the Calvert claim to Delaware. But later Lord Baltimore claimed that the document he signed did not contain the terms he had agreed to, and refused to put the agreement into effect. Beginning in the mid-1730s, violence erupted between settlers claiming various loyalties to Maryland and Pennsylvania. The border conflict between Pennsylvania and Maryland would be known as Cresap's War.
The issue was unresolved until the Crown intervened in 1760, ordering Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore to accept the 1732 agreement. As part of the settlement, the Penns and Calverts commissioned the English team of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon to survey the newly established boundaries between the Province of Pennsylvania, the Province of Maryland, Delaware Colony and parts of Colony and Old Dominion of Virginia.
Between 1763 and 1767, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon surveyed the Mason-Dixon line settling Sussex County's western and southern borders. After Pennsylvania abolished slavery in 1781, the western part of this line and the Ohio River became a border between free and slave states, although Delaware remained a slave state.
In 1769 there was a movement started to move the county seat from Lewes to the area then known as Cross Roads, the present day site of Milton. The current county seat of Georgetown was settled upon on January 27, 1791 after residents in western Sussex County successfully petitioned the Delaware General Assembly to move the county seat to a central location as roads at the time made it too difficult to reach the county seat in Lewes. Georgetown was not a previously established town and on May 9, 1791, the 10 commissioners headed by President of the State Senate George Mitchell negotiated the purchase of 76 acres (310,000 m2) and Commissioner Rhodes Shankland began the survey by laying out "a spacious square of 100 yards (91 m) each way." Eventually the Town was laid out in a circle one mile (1.6 km) across, centered on the original square surveyed by Shankland and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Georgetown was named after Senate President George Mitchell.
Sussex County has been known by several names over the years including Susan County, Hoorenkill or Whorekill County as named by the Dutch prior to 1680 when Kent County broke off, Deale County from 1680 to 1682 after being taken over by the British under James Stuart, Duke of York prior to signing over to William Penn, and Durham County when claimed by the Lords Baltimore during the boundary dispute with the Penn family.
Law and government
Sussex county's government is composed of an elected legislature and various elective executive heads of departments.
The county council has five members; all are elected in and for specific geographic subdivisions for four years. This forms the legislative authority of the county, which then chooses a "County Administrator" or executive.
The current county council members are Council President Michael H. Vincent, Vice President Samuel R. Wilson, Vance Phillips, George Cole, and Joan Deaver.
The additional offices of Clerk of the Peace, Register of Deeds, Register of Wills and Sheriff are elected at large. These positions are held by George Parish, Scott Dailey, Cynthia Green, and Jeffrey Christopher, respectively.
Sussex County is served by eight public school districts.
- Cape Henlopen School District

In what appears to be a clarification of a previous decision, an official from the National Election Committee said Sunday that private broadcast stations will be allowed to televise candidate debates.
“The NEC does not have the right to check the content of the videotape [supplied] by political parties or NGOs unless that debate is produced by state-run media such as TVK,” said Prum Nhean Vichet, media officer for the NEC. Previously, representatives from Apsara and Bayon TV said they would broadcast the debates only if the NEC approved the videotape’s content and if they received payment for the broadcast.
Despite Prum Nhien Vichet’s statement, an official from the Khmer Institute for Democracy said several private television stations have said they will not televise the first debate held Saturday in Kampot province, either because they fear they will break election laws or they do not want to get involved with the Feb 3 commune elections.
“Some television stations told us that the NEC said they could broadcast the debate, but the [non-state run] station is responsible for the content,” said Kem Sambaddh, head of administration for the Khmer Institute.
He said the Khmer Institute approached every privately run television station in Phnom Penh, including TV3, TV5 and Apsara, and was essentially denied broadcast privileges by all but TV9, which said it would charge the Khmer Institute approximately $2,000 to televise the two-hour debate.
Kem Sambaddh said Sunday he was editing the Kampot debate and would still send it to NEC for approval either late Sunday or this morning, because the television stations told him they would only broadcast the debate with prior NEC authorization.
On Sunday, the NEC also ordered all political parties to immediately cease playing video and audio cassettes that “criticize personal and other political parties.” The order, signed by NEC Chairman Chheng Phon, was faxed to the offices of all political parties.
Although no parties were mentioned by name, officials from the Sam Rainsy Party said the order was directed at them because they have been playing audio recordings of opposition leader Sam Rainsy’s speeches made in the National Assembly during the budget debates. “We been playing these tapes in [eight] provinces, and the commune election committees and provincial election committees have been confiscating these tapes from the party,” said Phi Thach, Sam Rainsy Party Cabinet chief.
The Sam Rainsy Party also filed a complaint with the NEC, accusing local authorities and commune election officials of illegally banning the party’s campaign material, said Eng Chhay Eang, secretary-general for the party.
Prum Nhien Vichet said the tapes would promote violence and, therefore, should be outlawed.
“What some parties have produced has violated the regulations and election procedures under article 126 and 128 of Chapter 8 of the election law,” he said.

66 GERARD, THE LION HUNTER
by the gentle tones of her formidable acquaintance, and surprised that this strange and splendid lion should know her name.
' Who can have told you what I am called, my lord ? '
' The breeze which loves you, and which, after playing through your hair, carries its perfume to the roses as it sighs " Ai'ssa ! " The stream which loves you, and which, after bathing your fair feet, waters the moss in my cave as it murmurs " A'issa ! " The bird which, since it heard your voice, has been jealous of you, and died of pique as it cried " Ai'ssa ! " '
The girl blushed with pleasure, and began to arrange her veil, taking great care, however, to do it in such a way that the lion could see her all the better ; for whether the flatterer is a lion or a fox, and the one flattered an Arab maiden or a crow, you see the result of flattery is always much the same everywhere, and with every one.
The lion, who had hitherto remained at a little distance, now ventured to draw nearer to the girl, but seeing her begin to tremble again, he asked, in his tenderest and most anxious voice : What is the matter, Ai'ssa ? '
She longed to answer, ' I am afraid of you, my lord,' but did not dare; so said, ' The Touareg tribe is not far off, and I am so afraid of the Touaregs.'
The lion smiled, after the fashion of lions. ' When you are with me,' he said, ' you need fear nothing.'
' But,' replied A'issa, ' I shall not always have the honour of your company. It is getting late, and my father's tent is some way from here.'
' I will escort you home,' said the lion.
Eefusal was impossible, and Ai'ssa had no choice but to accept. The lion came up close, and held out his head as a support, much as a gentleman might offer a lady his arm ; the girl laid her hand on his mane, and, side by side, they set out for the tent of Aissa's father.
On their way they met gazelles, who started away

“Up Next” Artist Review- Wallows
Written by VIC Radio on March 4, 2021
By Roxy Augeri
The Wallows are a band close to my heart, possibly making my top ten indie bands of all time. This band allows me to leave all my worries behind and follow them on a journey through their easy going and fun loving indie pop anthems.
Indie pop trio drew eyes immediately after releasing their first album “Nothing Happens” in early 2019 as lead singer and guitarist Dylan Minette was one of the hottest actors of the time, most known for his role as Clay Jensen in Netflix’s “13 Reasons Why.” Co-frontman Braeden Lemasters is also an actor in Hollywood, which led early listeners to write the band off as a side project for the actors trying to make music.
However, this music couldn’t be called a side project due to the care and precision that is injected in each lyric. With the addition of Cole Preston on the drums, they have mastered the perfect balance of songs you can groove along too while still sticking to their indie roots. Music is an extremely emotional thing, and they’ve found the perfect balance between making their music meaningful while still making it easy to listen to. One of the reasons I love the band is they write each album in a cohesive order, so you can listen to each song one after the other as I believe all albums are intended to be listened to. That being said, the songs also hold up extremely well on their own and can be added to any playlist to add a bit of flavor.
Another reason I think this band is one of the most applicable indie bands of our generations is because their music can be listened to in any location when you’re in any mood. Sometimes I think indie music can be kind of intimidating to someone who doesn’t usually listen to it and I think Wallows is able to offer something to everyone. That is so important when you are looking for a great band because it’s something that anyone would like regardless of the genre.
I have so many favorites from this band but if I had to choose it would definitely be “What You Like” because it puts me in a good mood anytime I listen to it. Minette’s vocals are so smooth and it gives me just enough of a guitar line to be able to dance along. Some honorable mentions are “Scrawny” for getting ready for the day, “Dig What You Dug” for a party at the beach, and “Remember When” for a scenic drive with your best friend.
Overall, Wallows is a band that is very close to my heart and loved by everyone who listens to them. They are the perfect band for any occasion, and work tirelessly to put out music they are passionate about. I would recommend this to anyone who’s intimidated by the indie genre as a whole, because it has a little something everyone can love. 4.9 out of 5 stars.


After giving up three earned runs with a 4-0 lead in the ninth inning of the Houston Astros' extra-innings win on Tuesday, the team optioned the fiery right-hander to Triple-A Fresno. The Astros are recalling left-handed pitcher Cionel Perez from Double-A Corpus Christi in a corresponding move.
It has been a season of woe so far for Giles, in whom the Astros have entrusted the closer role.
Giles in 34 appearances has an ERA of 4.99.
But Giles has memorably sunk the 'Stros in high-leverage spots this season. Back on May 27, Giles was given an 8-3 lead vs. Cleveland in the ninth inning before allowing three earned runs as part of an Indians rally. Houston lost 10-9 in 14 innings.
Almost more memorable than that was Giles punching himself in the face after giving up four runs to the Yankees in the ninth inning on May 1.
Uh, did Ken Giles just punch himself in the face? pic.twitter.com/Y8kbDIDVtl— Kenny Ducey (@KennyDucey) May 2, 2018
On Tuesday, Giles was seen spouting off as manager A.J. Hinch pulled him from the mound.
Giles was acquired in a trade with the Phillies before the 2016 season. In the past offseason, Giles won arbitration for a $4.6 million salary this season.

We're Number one! almost, because we're number one 2! Jerry Lee Lewis would only ever reach as high as #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 Here are some great songs that just didn't make it to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 or R&B charts. In my post on Little Richard I commented on his breakthrough single, " Tutti Frutti " that got stalled at #2 because " Great Pretender " by 'The Platters' would not budge from the #1 spot from the beginning of January through to the week ending March 10. I've run across this before so I decided to research how many of the old classic hit songs had the same fate and just didn't get to the #1 spot. I've talked about many of these songs but when you look at the number that didn't make it is a bit surprising. And do we remember them any less for being #2? Let's show the song that kept them out of the top spot and see how it compares. Here are the #2 songs I could find up to 1970 al
A blog about cover songs. Much about the 50's thru 70's and beyond. Blues, Rock, and Country focus with a bit of everything in between. Artist profiles, song profiles and theme's with cover songs being the central focus.


It was all about centrifuges, industrial spinning tubes designed to enrich uranium and crucial to making a nuclear bomb.
Five years ago, Iran was set to spin thousands of them, but the deal brokered in 2015 stopped almost all of them and Iran’s nuclear programme was frozen.
But Donald Trump has never liked it, once even labelling it as “insane”. And today he has the chance to pull his country out of the Iran nuclear agreement for good.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is amongst many who have urged him to stay along with the other signatories. The leaders of Israel and Saudi Arabia have egged him on to pull out.

The Intel Core i7-11700K processor might be more powerful than it’s previously been given credit for. While early leaks had suggested the Intel CPU would fall behind the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, new benchmark results show the chip blowing AMD’s flagship processors out of the water.
While not everyone is a fan of how UserBenchmark (opens in new tab) - the site where these Intel Core i7-11700K results have cropped up - calculates its average scores list, the CPU did well in the single-core, dual-core, four-core, eight-core charts. As with all leaked info we can't guarantee the results are 100% legitimate but regardless these results give us a reason to pay attention to the latest entry in the Rocket Lake-S series.
We’ll learn more about the Intel Core i7-11700K later this month, with an official unveiling expected for March 16. After the chips went on sale early we found out that you’ll likely be able to pick one up for €469 (around $570 / £410 / AU$730) with a rumored release date of March 30.
- Intel Core i7-11700KF spotted in game benchmark
- Where to buy AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X
- Best processors 2021 from Intel and AMD
What’s in a benchmark?
It’s worth noting that Intel CPUs typically do outperform AMD when it comes to lower-core benchmarks. Intel makes up the top five for the single-core charts on UserBenchmark and the Intel Core i7-11700K and Core i9 11900F are the best two CPUs in the dual-core, four-core and eight-core categories.
The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X jostle for third behind them in those lists but they both do significantly better in higher core categories. However, given that the AMD Ryzen 9 chips are so hard to get your hands on right now, even if they are more powerful, that won't matter.
For now, just don’t get too carried away, the Intel Core i7-11700K benchmark results are based only on three samples at the time of writing, compared with the 21 thousand of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. As more people test the hardware we’ll likely see the numbers change as we get a better picture of how good the processor really is. But if you’re in the market for a new CPU, you might want to consider waiting.

Antoine Griezmann, current FC Barcelona player – formerly Atltico de Madrid and Real Sociedad – is preparing to compete in Euro 2020 with the French national team, but until then he is showing that He is an expert in football video games, or at least one in particular: Football Manager, the Sega manager. The player has shown on social networks his successes with Newcastle United -a team he has never played for in real life- that has won no less than five competitions in 2027: the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup, Super Cup and the Community Shield tournament -similar to the Super Cups of other countries-.
Why Newcastle? In the past it was one of the great teams in the Premier League, but in recent times poor management has relegated it to the bottom of the table and with a very tight budget. There is the merit of Griezmann, who has managed to take the club to the top starting from a “humble” beginning – as far as possible, as he is still in the Premier League – instead of choosing one of the most powerful teams in Europe.
One of the secrets of his success has been sign French teammate Kylian Mbappe for Newcastle, currently at PSG -and target of big clubs, such as Real Madrid- for no less than 134 million euros, a figure not excessively high for the prices that were paid in the market a few years ago for the big stars.
A game that served to simulate the main competitions without the Super League clubs
With the announcement of the Super League a few months ago, today a project that seems at least paralyzed, UEFA threatened to expel the clubs involved from all European competitions and leagues. Football Manager 2021 was then used as a simulator of the results of the next 25 years: Borussia Dortmund, PSG and Bayern will be the teams that benefit the most for the departure of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atltico de Madrid and the rest of the clubs that, initially, had shown their commitment to the Super League.

US Liner has developed a translucent roof option for dry vans based on a new composite material. BXR Series T-Roof panels establish new benchmarks in durability and performance, the company claims.
“Earlier translucent roof materials could not hold up to the rigours of the trucking industry,” explains Michael LaRocco, US Liner’s President. “They were fragile, prone to puncture and tear from low-hanging trees and other objects. More importantly, over time, UV rays caused the thermoset materials to become brittle.”
According to LaRocco, the mere mention of translucent roof as an OEM option was quickly dismissed. While fleet owners appreciated the bright interiors the roofs provided, they didn’t like the poor performance and constant need for repair and replacement.
“Our customers wanted something better,” he reports. “That’s when we set our product development team loose to create a better solution, using proven, US Liner materials.”
BXR Series T-Roof panels are engineered with a five-layer construction using durable Versitex and Bulitex materials. The panels are reinforced with continuous woven and non-woven glass fibres.
“For the first time, BXR T-Roof permits us to provide a translucent roof product that can withstand the rigours of loading and unloading,” reports Jeff Meek, US Liner’s VP, Sales and Marketing. “BXR provides a high level of light transmittance, while reducing radiant heat absorption, commonly found with first-generation translucent materials.”
Meek reports that customer response has exceeded expectations.
“Essentially, BXR T-Roof has caused fleet owners to rethink what they’ve come to expect from translucent roof performance,” he says.
US Liner states that key performance attributes of BXR T-Roof include:
“In addition to BXR’s superior performance properties, it is a maintenance friendly material, too,” LaRocco adds. “It is easy to clean and is fully field repairable, should the need arise, using a standard heat gun. Minor repairs do not require harsh chemicals, typically used with fibreglass compositions.”

Lots of people (and by "lots" I mean roughly 99% of everyone I've ever spoken to) believe that the dictionary is a Who's Who of words. That it's like Ivy League college admissions. That only the really good words, the ones that have eaten all their spinach and who play the oboe and who get high scores on the SAT, make it into the dictionary. That the words that make it into the dictionary are somehow "realler" than the words that don't.and
Some people have the idea that if a word isn't in the dictionary, they can't use it. This is not a rule any lexicographer ever came up with (think about it — if this were true, we'd all be out of jobs right quick) and luckily not a rule that most people follow. If a word you want to use isn't in the dictionary (and you're sure you haven't just misspelled it — hey, don't worry, it happens to everyone), go ahead and use it! That's the best way to get it in the next edition, and then everyone's happy.(1)So. This thought forced onto you as a prelude to noting that the Oxford Univeristy Press people have recently announced their "Word of the Year," which this time goes to the term (as opposed to word) carbon neutral. Perhaps this term got a boost from its political timeliness, whatever. I found some of the runners-up more interesting:
funner as a comparative for fun. Now there's a term that earn endless opprobrium.
Islamofascism, another terribly timely term, which is partly interesting because it reflects the continuing widespread use of the term fascism among people who, I suspect, could not define it to save their lives.
pregaming, another lovely use of the flexible pre- suffix.
There you have it folks -- words in the dictionary, all legal-like. What could be funner?
PS Among the comments, one person suggests the term pre-mortem, used (possibly in a new metaphorical way -- see Webster's) by Glenn Reynolds for his gloomy predictions about the recent "thumping" the GOP got, to quote our president. (Which reminds me also the pre-buttal tactic that emerged a few years back, and which has made it to Webster's.)
(1) For those who've , ahem, seen this before, apologies for the double posting.

WHEN Alzheimer's patients lose their bearings, it may be their vision that is at fault. Neurologists in New York say patients can't interpret the visual cues we use to work out which direction we are moving in.
Confusion in people with Alzheimer's disease is thought to be linked to loss of memory, so when patients get lost, doctors assume they have forgotten where they are going. But Charles Duffy of the University of Rochester, who has studied how monkeys process visual patterns to tell them which way they are moving, wondered if faulty vision processing also contributed to the problem.
To test this, he and his colleagues asked 11 people with Alzheimer's and 18 healthy subjects to watch patterns on a giant computer screen. The screen showed dots streaming outwards from a spot, giving the impression that the observer is moving forward. The team then tested the volunteers' ability to ...

What's in a name?
Would the world feel the same way about Joaquin Phoenix if he'd stuck with his birth name, Joaquin Rafael Bottom? Or Marilyn Monroe, christened Norma Jean Mortensen?
And so too cities, towns and even countries change their names. Sometimes it's a tweak – India's Mysore to Mysuru for example – sometimes a change that reflects a major power shift. Constantinople became Istanbul while the Soviet Union, or what was left of it, reverted to Russia.
Names bestowed by colonial powers can feel slightly less than comfortable when independence finally comes along, which explains why Portuguese East Africa became Mozambique and German South West Africa is now Namibia.
Here's a selection of places that we once knew by a different name, and why we now call them something else.
Burma – Myanmar
In 1989, following a bloody coup, the ruling military government made a push to establish a new sense of national identity and to mark a separation from colonial rule by ditching names imposed by British rulers. Burma changed its name to Myanmar, Rangoon became Yangon, the Irrawaddy River became the Ayeyarwady, the hilltown of Maymyo became Pyin U Lwin.
However, Burma's democracy movement continued to refer to the country as "Burma", a rejection of the military junta rather than a harking back to the colonial era. In fact both names have long been used to describe their country by ethnic Burmans, who make up the majority of the population.
Myanmar is the more formal, written form while Burma is the colloquial. Since the name Myanmar was imposed by an illegitimate, unelected military junta, some countries and many individuals chose to demonstrate their opposition to the junta by continuing to refer to the country as Burma.
Cambodia – Kampuchea – Cambodia
Angkor Whatitsname? Cambodia has changed names several times. Photo: Shutterstock
For more than 1000 years the country we know as Cambodia was Kampuja. Under French colonial rule, that became Cambodge, which from the mouth of a francophone sounds about the same as Kampuja from the lips of a Khmer. That name was always tricky for non-French speakers who referred to the country as Cambodia.
During the troubled years when the country was run by the Khmer Rouge, followed by the Vietnamese backed government, the country morphed into the Khmer Republic, then Democratic Kampuchea, the People's Republic of Kampuchea, the State of Cambodia and finally came to rest as the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Rhodesia – Zimbabwe

Originally Southern Rhodesia, to draw the line between it and Northern Rhodesia, which became Zambia upon independence in 1964, "Rhodesia" was a tribute to the enthusiastic British empire builder Cecil Rhodes who commandeered much of this region as a corporate fiefdom in the late 1800s.
When the country became independent in 1980 the ruling ZANU-PF party was keen to shuck off the remnants of its colonial inheritance. After a brief transition period when it was known as Zimbabwe Rhodesia, followed by the "British Colony of Southern Rhodesia", the country became Zimbabwe. The name comes from the ancient ruined city of Great Zimbabwe, the capital of a large empire that flourished from the 13th to the 15th century, now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Madras is now Chennai. Photo: Shutterstock
With the exception of Delhi, every major Indian city has changed its name over the past few years. Bombay is now Mumbai, Calcutta is Kolkata, Madras is Chennai – and that's just for starters. States too. Mysore State is now Karnataka, Madras State is Tamil Nadu. Some of these changes were made to realign Anglicised cities' names with local pronunciation – Calcutta to Kolkata for example, or Pondicherry, now Puducherry.
Others are a complete reworking such as Madras, named by the British after the fishing village to the north of Fort St George, the original British settlement sited here. "Chennai" – the new name for the city, means "face" in the Tamil language and refers to the Chennakesava Perumal Temple, dedicated to the city's patron deity, therefore the "face" of the city.
Since about 2015 Delhi has been stripping the names of British governors, generals and viceroys from its streets and replacing them with the names of Indian freedom fighters, painters, musicians and historic figures.
Ceylon – Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's capital Colombo. Photo: Shutterstock
"Ceylon" was the name given to the teardrop-shaped island by the British, who ruled it from 1815 to 1948. "Lanka" predates that by about 2000 years, the name for the island in the Ramayana, one of the classics of Indian literature. The origin of "Ceylon" is a lot more obscure, possibly a reference to an Old Tamil word.
The Romans knew it as Serendivis , Arab traders as Serandib, the Persians as Serendip from which we get the word serendipity, to make a happy discovery by chance, surely the prettiest name ever bestowed on a country.
"Sri Lanka" – the "Sri" is an honorific – was introduced during the push for independence early in the 20th century. The country adopted the name "The Republic of Sri Lanka" in 1972 and later, the "Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka".
Republic of North Macedonia

Tsipras' visit in early April was the first official visit of a Greek leader to its neighbour after decades of strained relations over the name "Macedonia". Photo: AP
Once part of Yugoslavia, this Balkan country became the Republic of Macedonia when Yugoslavia disintegrated in the early 1990s.
The problem was that Greece has its own Macedonia in the north of the country, and the name game has been a running sore in relations ever since. Most recently the country adopted the name Republic of North Macedonia after a referendum in 2018 and the Greeks have been partially pacified, although the grumbling goes on.
Swaziland – Kingdom of eSwatini
In 2018 King Mswati III of Swaziland, the last of Africa's absolute monarchs, declared that his country would henceforth be known as the Kingdom of eSwatini, a name for the digital era if ever there was one. The name means "Land of the Swazis" and apparently the king was sick of his country being confused with Switzerland.
Apart from the fact that both are landlocked and they have mountains and trains – far fewer in the case of eSwatini – there aren't too many similarities that would lead to confusion between abundantly rich, chilly and mostly white Switzerland and subsistence-economy eSwatini.
Names that should never change
Some names bring a smile to the lips, and long may they live. Who could resist Truth or Consequences, New Mexico (originally called Hot Springs, it changed its name as part of a game show promotion in 1950), Bastardo in Italy's Umbria, Peculiar in Missouri or Boring, Oregon?
Looking to add some sparkle to your love life with a getaway to a place with a suggestive name? How about the French protectorate of Ile de la Passion off the coast of Mexico, although it's an uninhabited coral island.
Or perhaps Lovelady in Texas or Lustin, Belgium, not forgetting Lusty in Somerset and Desire, Pennsylvania. Need to up the ante? Well there's always Intercourse, in the Amish country of Pennsylvania, and Sexmoan in the Philippines, regrettably now known as Sasmuan. So too the Beach of Passionate Love at the top end of Malaysia's east coast, now rechristened Moonlight Beach. And if it all falls through you can always console yourself in Loveless, Alabama.

A lot of factors have contributed to American inequality: slavery, economic policy, technological change, the power of lobbying, globalization, and so on. In their wake, what’s left?
That’s the question at the heart of a new book, The Vanishing Middle Class: Prejudice and Power in a Dual Economy , by Peter Temin, an economist from MIT. Temin argues that, following decades of growing inequality, America is now left with what is more or less a two-class system: One small, predominantly white upper class that wields a disproportionate share of money, power, and political influence and a much larger, minority-heavy (but […]

In the early post-war years, it was the view that shortage of capital was the bane of development. Countries were advised to attract capital through foreign aid and/or investment.

Another pitched upon technology as the lever for growth and plumbed for its global diffusion.

text: An accurate SO(2) prediction method for using broadband continuous-wave diffuse reflectance near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is proposed. The method fitted the NIR spectra to a Taylor expansion attenuation model, and used the simulated annealing method to initialize the nonlinear least squares fit. This paper investigated the effect of potential spectral interferences that are likely to be encountered in clinical use, on SO(2) prediction accuracy. The factors include the concentration of hemoglobin in blood, the volume of blood and volume of water in the tissue under the sensor, reduced scattering coefficient, µ(s)', of the muscle, fat thickness and the source-detector spacing. The SO(2) prediction method was evaluated on simulated muscle spectra as well as on dual-dye phantoms which simulate the absorbance of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin.

SYDNEY, May 30. AUSTRALIAN Swimming is today mourning the loss of one of its greatest administrators, former Olympian, master coach and fierce anti-drugs campaigner Terry Gathercole, who died in Canberra this morning, aged 65.
Gathercole, died of a heart attack after a long illness and was surrounded by his wife Carol, son Ben and daughter Gai. His youngest son Tim will fly home from the United States to join the family in Canberra this week.
A funeral in West Wyalong and a Memorial Service at the Australan Institute of Sport in Canberra, are expected to be held next week.
"Coach" as he was affectionately known throughout Australia and by the thousands of swimmers who have graduated through the "Gathercole school" will be sadly missed by the swimming fraternity world wide.
Gathercole served as Australian Swimming president between 1997 and 2000 and he led a very public campaign in the fight against drugs in swimming.
Born in West Wyalong and bred in the NSW country town, Gathercole, was a country kid with a passion for swimming and in particular breaststroke swimming.
A man who lived for his sport and a man who was determined, through ailing health, to survive the 2000 Sydney Olympics and stand tall as the president of one of the great swimmers powers.
Gathercole convinced the Sydney Olympic Torch Relay organisers to re-route his leg of the relay past the West Wyalong Olympic Pool, where he so proudly carried the torch on its way to Sydney.
Australian Swimming president, life long friend and Olympic teammate, John Devitt said from Osaka today, where he has been officiating as Australia's Chef de Mission at the 3rd East Asian Games, that Australian Swimming had lost one of its greats.
Mr Devitt said: "My family and my personal loss is immense, so is the loss to Australian Swimming of one of the great administrators and master coaches of our sport.
"Terry was fiercely loyal, passionate and he believed that an even playing field was the only path that swimming world wide should follow. He wanted and achieved the removal of drug takers and cheats from our sport.
"To all of us who have lost a motivator and importantly a true friend, we should be well comforted that we had him amongst us for such a long while.
"We indeed have lost a great mate, one we cannot replace."
One of his prized pupils, Olympian and Commonwealth Games gold medalist Lisa Forrest said she was with
"Coach" two weeks ago.
"He was chirpy and full of beans right to the end, working on projects to make sure swimming was always on the move," said Forrest, who went on to become an actress and author.
"I will always remember him as one of the toughest men I have ever met, a great coach, a great man, a wonderful friend to us all."
Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association president and former Olympian and Australian head coach Tery Buck said: "Terry Gathercole was a pioneer in the world of swimming. He was in the Australian team in its peak in the 50s and 60s, saw the sport at its worst in the 70s and was there at the helm in the position as president when the Australian team finished second in world at the Sydney Olympics in 2000
"He has seen it all. What a lucky man, to have the talent to be there, what a marvellous innings from a very special man who was passionionate about swimming, his contribution was immeasurable."
Gathercole was the Australian 100 and 200 metre and 110 and 220 yards breaststroke champion from 1954 to 1960 which for many years was listed in the Guinness book of records as the most consecutive National Titles won by a male competitor.
He represented Australia at the 1956 and 1960 Olympics, where he won silver in the Australian medley relay team.
He was also a Commonwealth Games representative and gold medallist and world record holder in the Australian medley team.
Gathercole was the world record holder in 200m, 110 yards and 220 yards Breaststroke from 1958 to 1961, a record regained in 1964 by Olympic gold medalist Ian O'Brien who was coached by Terry Gathercole at that time.
He was a member of Australian medley relay teams with freestylers John Devitt, Jon Henricks, Geoff Shipton, butterflyers Brian Wilkinson and Neville Hayes and backstrokers John Monckton and the great David Theile over a seven year consecutive period.
He represented West Wyalong Amateur Swimming Club throughout his entire swimming career and joined training squads coached by Forbes Carlisle when selected for Olympic, Commonwealth or National Training Squads or Tours.
Gathercole commenced swim coaching in December 1960 and among his most prominent pupils who gained Olympic Games selection were: Gold medallists Ian O'Brien (1964 & 1968) and Beverley Whitfield (1972; Graham Dunn (1968); Denise Langford (1968)); Mark Kerry (1976, 1980, 1984)); Peter Dawson (1976); Paul Jarvie (1976); Georgina Parkes (1980); Lisa Forrest (1980); Ian McAdam (1988); Linley Frame (1992) Phillip Rogers (1992, 1996, 2000).
He was an Australian Olympic Swim Team Coach – Tokyo 1964; Montreal 1976; Australian Commonwealth Games Swim Team Coach – Jamaica 1966; World Championship Swim Team Coach – Columbia 1975; Pan Pacific Swim Meet Coach – Japan 1983; The Australian World Championship team inn 1991 and Barcrelona Olympic team in 1992.
He built the first heated Indoor Swimming Pool at Castle Cove, Sydney NSW in 1961
In 1968 he accepted the Head Coach position with the city of Midland, Texas, USA to form a swim team to national competitive level. The team grew from an original 29 members to 320 competitive swimmers and in the five years contract period qualified four swimmers for the American Olympic Trials.
He was presented with a Senate resolution by the President of the Senate for the state of Texas in recognition of the contribution made to the Team and the youth of the Community and the State of Texas.
Beyond the Local level, he was instrumental in standardising swimming rules and administration; achieved nationwide recognition by serving on American Swimming Coaches Association board of Directors and later became first non-American to be elected as the President of American Swim Coaches Association.
He was the head Coach of WIN A.S.C who won the Australian National Point Score, February 1981.
Gathercole was named NSW and Australian Coach of the Year by Australian Swim Coaches 1981 and after selling Killarney Heights Pool in October 1985 was named Senior Coach Men Swimming at Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra January 1986.
In August 1987 he was made a life member of Australian Swim Coaches Association and at the Australian Swim Coaches Conference in 1987 awarded the title of Master Coach Award.
He was inducted into the NSW Hall of Champions In 1980 and was made a Life Member of the New South Wales Branch of the Australian Swimming Coaches Association and Life Member of the Australian Swimming Coaches Association.
He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA in 1985 and was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 1988 and made a life member of Australian Swimming in 1999 and an associate Member of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
He was Chairman of the Australian Swim Coaches Association (until 1990); Board member and past Treasurer and Board Member of Australian Swimming Inc. (as Chairman of the Coaching Co-ordination Committee).
Australian Swim Coaches Committee Member on National Accreditation for Swim Coaches and the Development of the curriculum for submission to the National Coaching Council and implementation of Coaches Accreditation.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is to provide technical aid to Bulgaria's National Company Railway Infrastructure (NRIC).
The EIB is to cooperate with Bulgaria's NRIC on the formation of a tariff policy for the access and use of the railway infrastructure under the Operational Program "Transport" 2007-2013.
The decision adopted by the Bulgarian government on Wednesday aims to pave the way for concrete actions for the preparation of a proposal for a new tariff policy and a methodology for calculating infrastructure fees collected by the NRIC from the railway carriers in line with EU Directives and national law.
The signing and the implementation of the Agreement is to guarantee equal and fair access to the railway infrastructure for all transport operators, quality services and appropriate management of the demand for access to infrastructure, streamlined management and control of resources and optimized maintenance and exploitation of the existing railway infrastructure, greater transparency of the management of the NRIC and the introduction of good business practices, greater competition on the transport market and consistency with the state goals in the sphere of transport.
