Operation Ellamy was the codename for the United Kingdom participation in the 2011 military intervention in Libya. The operation was part of an international coalition aimed at enforcing a Libyan no-fly zone in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 which stipulated that \"all necessary measures\" shall be taken to protect civilians. The coalition operation was designated by NATO as Operation Unified Protector, by the US as Operation Odyssey Dawn. The Canadian participation as Operation Mobile and the French participation as Opération Harmattan. It was confirmed in December 2011 that the cost of the operations was £212m – less than was estimated, including £67m for replacing spent munitions, is all expected to be met from the Treasury reserve. The no-fly zone was proposed during the Libyan Civil War to prevent government forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi from carrying out air attacks on anti-Gaddafi forces. Several countries prepared to take immediate military action at a conference in Paris on 19 March 2011. The randomly generated codename, \"Ellamy,\" is an alternative spelling of the Early Modern English word, Elami (E-la-mi), a musical solmisation designating the note E in the context of a tetrachord. The spelling \"Ellamy\" is found in a poem frequently attributed to John Skelton, \"The Harmony of Birds\". | Event | SocietalEvent | MilitaryConflict |

WFTV Channel 38 was the first television station in Duluth, Minnesota. The station signed on in 1953 carrying programming from all four TV networks of the time, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the DuMont Television Network. It shared office space with WEBC radio and transmitted from the former WEBC-FM tower on Duluth's Observation Hill. WFTV faced challenges from the beginning, being a UHF station in an era when most television sets only included VHF tuners; set manufacturers were not required to include VHF tuning until 1964. Most Northland residents needed a converter to watch WFTV, and the picture quality left much to be desired even with one. Additionally, the Duluth market is a very large market geographically, and UHF stations do not carry well across large areas. As a result, the station never thrived; only the revenue from its radio sister kept it afloat. In March 1954, VHF stations WDSM-TV and KDAL-TV - both co-owned with other radio stations in the market - signed on and took the NBC and CBS affiliations. This left WFTV with ABC and DuMont. Saddled with affiliations with the two weakest and smallest networks, as well as a weak signal, WFTV could not compete and left the air shortly thereafter. Duluth would be a two-station market until WDIO-TV signed on in 1966. The market would not get another major UHF station until 1999 when KQDS-TV upgraded and affiliated with the FOX network. The bottom portion of the tower used by WEBC-FM and WFTV still stands, and is used today for telecommunications. Channel 38 was originally used for WDSE's digital signal, but went empty again in 2009 when WDSE moved digital operations to channel 8. The WFTV callsign was adopted by the ABC affiliate on Channel 9 in Orlando, Florida, which was previously WLOF, in 1963. | Agent | Broadcaster | TelevisionStation |

Herbert Otto Madden, normally known as \"Otto\" (02 January 1873 in Hoppegarten - 21 May 1942 in Newmarket, Suffolk) was a four time British flat racing Champion Jockey He was born to a jockey father, who had ridden Kincsem, the winningmost racehorse of all time in most of her races. Otto Madden was first apprenticed to James Waugh and then to Richard Marsh. For Marsh he won the Derby on the 100/1 longest-priced winner of all time, Jeddah in 1898. That same year he also won the Cesarewitch and Manchester November Handicap and ended the season as Champion Jockey. He went on to win every British Classic except the 1,000 Guineas. It has been suggested by some that he pulled Wool Winder when on course for a second Derby win in 1907. His last big race win came in the 1917 Oaks on Sunny Jane. Officially, he had retired, but he had returned to race riding due to the limited number of jockeys available during World War I. He later bred, owned and trained Chapeau to win the 1925 Ebor Handicap. In 1999, the Racing Post ranked him 30th in their list of the Top 50 jockeys of the 20th century. He still holds the record for most wins (as a jockey) of the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot, a race he won three times in the 1890s. | Agent | Athlete | Jockey |

Kalibushi was one of the few priests to speak out against government actions during the lead-up to the Rwandan Genocide.On 28 December 1993 he and the priests of Kibuye and Gisenyi issued a letter that criticized the government for issuing arms to civilians.His letter asked the authorities to \"clearly explain to the public the utility of the arms that had been distributed during recent days.\" Perhaps because of Kalibushi's willingness to support Tutsis and his criticism of the government, his compound at Nyundo was one of the first targets of the Hutu extremists. The morning after the death of President Juvénal Habyarimana, on 7 April 1994 a number of Tutsi families came to Nyundo for safety.A large, hostile and armed crowd arrived, and the killing began, including women and children who took refuge in the chapel. On the morning of 8 April the militia captured the bishop, stripped him and threatened to kill him, but were stopped by an army officer. Bishop Kalibushi was taken to Gisenyi and was later released at the request of the Vatican. On 3 May Mgr. Vincent Nsengiyumva wrote a letter to the Christians of Nyundo reassuring them that Kalibushi was safe and sound, and that rumors that he had fled to Nairobi were false.

The Çetintepe Dam is a gravity dam under construction on the Ortasu River (a tributary of the Hezil River) in Uludere district of Şırnak Province, southeast Turkey. Under contract from Turkey's State Hydraulic Works, Ozerka Insatt began construction on the dam in 2008 and a completion date has not been announced. The reported purpose of the dam is water storage and it can also support a 2 MW hydroelectric power station in the future. Another purpose of the dam which has been widely reported in the Turkish press is to reduce the freedom of movement of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants. Blocking and flooding valleys in close proximity to the Iraq–Turkey border is expected to help curb cross-border PKK smuggling and deny caves in which ammunition can be stored. A total of 11 dams along the border; seven in Şırnak Province and four in Hakkâri Province were implemented for this purpose. In Şırnak they are the Silopi, Şırnak, Uludere, Balli, Kavşaktepe and Musatepe Dams downstream of the Çetintepe Dam.

Campion is best known for his career at Manhattan College. Before graduating in 1975, in just over 2½ seasons, he set the still-standing school rebounds records for a game (30), season (419), and career (1,070). He also scored 1,223 points to give him a 1,000-point/rebound mark for his career. After his junior season he was given the Haggerty Award, an annual award that goes to the best male collegiate basketball player in the greater New York City area. Campion was selected in the fourth round (60th overall) in the 1975 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. The American Basketball Association's Virginia Squires also chose him that year, but Campion did not play in either league. After Manhattan College, Campion played in Italy for Mobilgirgi Varese.

The Oriental stork (Ciconia boyciana) is a large, white bird with black wing feathers in the stork family Ciconiidae. It is closely related to and resembles the European white stork, of which it was formerly often treated as a subspecies. It is typically larger than the white stork, at 100–129 cm (39.5–51 in) long, 110–150 cm (43–59 in) tall, a weight of 2.8–5.9 kg (6.2–13.0 lb) and a wingspan of 2.22 m (7.3 ft). Unlike its more widespread cousin, the Oriental stork has red skin around its eye, with a whitish iris and black bill. Both sexes are similar. The female is slightly smaller than male. The young are white with orange bills. At one time, the Oriental stork could be found in Japan, China, Korea and Russia. It is now extinct in Japan and the Korean peninsula. However, in May 2007 a hatchling was reported in Japan for the first time in 40 years in the wild. It was offspring of two storks who were bred in captivity. After breeding, the storks migrate to eastern China in September and return in March. The Oriental stork is a solitary bird except during the breeding season. Its diet consists mainly of fish, frogs, insects, small birds and reptiles, as well as rodents. The female usually lays between two and six eggs. The scientific name commemorates Robert Henry Boyce. Due to habitat loss and overhunting, the Oriental stork is classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix I of CITES. | Species | Animal | Bird |

Charitina of Lithuania (died 1281) is a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Her feast is on 5 October. Because her hagiography did not survive, very little is known about her life. Charitina was a noblewoman from the pagan Grand Duchy of Lithuania who became a nun in Novgorod. Possibly she was arranged to marry a Prince of Novgorod, but that could be a conflation of Charitina with Euphrosyne of Suzdal who was betrothed to Fyodor, eldest son of Yaroslav II of Vladimir. In Novgorod she entered Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul. There she earned the reputation of piousness and became an abbess. In 2009, Lithuanian historian Algimantas Bučys raised hypothesis that she might be a daughter of Tautvilas, who escaped to Novgorod after her father's murder by Treniota. | Agent | Cleric | Saint |
