The 61st International 500 Mile Sweepstakes was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 29, 1977. Considered one of the most historically significant editions of the Indianapolis 500, several sidebar stories complemented the unprecedented accomplishment of race winner A. J. Foyt. Foyt became the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 four times. As of 2012, Foyt’s record has been tied by Al Unser and Rick Mears, but still stands as an Indy record.

The race was sanctioned by USAC, and was part of the 1977 USAC National Championship Trail.

Two major stories headlined qualifying. During time trials, pole position winner Tom Sneva became the first driver to break the 200 mph barrier at the Speedway. On the final day of time trials, Janet Guthrie broke the gender barrier by becoming the first female driver to qualify for the Indy 500.

During the summer of 1976, the entire track was repaved in asphalt. It marked the first time since the bricks were laid in the fall of 1909 that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was repaved in its entirety. The surface was allowed to cure over the winter, and during a tire test in March, Gordon Johncock ran a lap of 200.401 mph, an unofficial track record.^[1]

This would be the final Indy 500 for track owner Tony Hulman, who would die of heart failure on October 27, 1977. IMS Radio Network anchorSid Collins did not call the race for the first time since 1951. Collins committed suicide on May 2,^[2] just before opening day, after being diagnosed with ALS. Collins was replaced by new “voice of the 500” Paul Page.

Meridian (astronomy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the astronomical concept. For other uses of the word, see Meridian.

 

The meridian on the celestial sphere. The yellow semi circle represents the upper meridian, the opposite half being the lower meridian.

A meridian is the great circle passing through the celestial poles and the zenith of a particular location. Consequently, it also contains the horizon’s north and south points and it is perpendicular to the celestial equator and the celestial horizon. This celestial meridian matches the projection, onto the celestial sphere, of the terrestrial meridian. The term “meridian” comes from the Latin meridies, which means both “midday” and “south”.

The great circle defining the meridian is divided into the local meridian (containing the zenith and terminated by the celestial poles) and theantimeridian (opposite half containing the nadir). In the horizontal coordinate system a similar division is made between the halves terminated by the horizon’s north and south points: the upper meridian (through the zenith) and the lower meridian (through the nadir).

Because the meridian is fixed to the local horizon, a celestial object will appear to drift past the local meridian as the Earth spins. It reaches its highest point in the sky when crossing the meridian (culmination). Using an object’s right ascension and the local sidereal time it is possible to determine the time of its culmination (see hour angle).

‘Ar’ara (Arabic: عرعرة‎; Hebrew: עַרְעָרָה) (“juniper tree”^[1]), is an Arab town in the Wadi Ara region in northern Israel. It is located south of Umm al-Fahm just northwest of the Green Line and is part of the Triangle. In 2009, the population was 16,700.^[2]

Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Maqam Shaykh Khalaf 3 See also 4 References 4.1 Bibliography 5 External links

[edit]History

Burial complexes from the Roman period by Ar’ara have been excavated, revealing clay lamps and glass vessels and beads, commonly used in the 1st to 4th century C.E.. A few clay fragments from the Mamluk period have also been found at the same location.^[3]

In the Crusader period, the place was known as “Castellum Arearum”. In the land-allocation made by sultan Baybars in 663 H. (1265-1266 C.E.), Ar’ara was shared between his amirs Ala’ al-Din and Sayf al-Din Bayhaq al-Baghdadi.^[4]

Ar’ara, like the rest of Palestine, was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517, and in 1596, Ar’ara appeared in Ottoman tax registers as being in the Nahiya of Shara of the Liwa of Lajjun. It had a population of 8 Muslim households and paid taxes on wheat, barley, summercrops, olives, and goats or beehives.^[5]

By the eighteenth century, the village remained in the administrative district of Lajjun, but the revenue of the place was farmed for the Mutasarrıf ofJaffa.^[6] In the late nineteenth century, the site was described as:

A village of moderate size on high ground, with a spring to the east, a second to the west and a well to the south. There are rock cut tombs near. The population is stated by Consul Rogers (1859) as 400, the cultivation then being 30 feddans.^[7]

Operation Pathway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Operation Pathway was a British counterterrorism operation.^[1] The operation first came under public scrutiny when details of its activities were accidentally released in April 2009.

The name of the operation, and at least some of its details were inadvertently revealed when Assistant Commissioner for Special Operations Robert Quick was photographed entering Number 10 Downing Street with classified documents in plain sight.^[1] The operation was hurriedly executed after the security breach resulting in a dozen arrests of suspects of Pakistani origin in northwest England near Manchester, Liverpool and Lancashire.

Quick resigned on 9 April.^[1]

The operation continued following Quick’s resignation.^[2] On November 9 2009 The Telegraph reported that the operation produced the tip that lead American security officials to place Najibullah Zazi under investigation. British security officials were reported to have intercepted an email from a Pakistani planner to Najibullah Zazi containing instructions on how to conduct his attack. Najibullah Zazi was alleged to have begun to implement a plan to set off bombs in New York City on the 2009 anniversary of Al Qaeda’s WTC attacks on 9-11. His plan was described as the most serious plan against the USA since 9-11.
