1984 Indian vice presidential election
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Indian_vice_presidential_election#/random
R. Venkataraman defeated B. C. Kamble 71.05% to 28.95%.

Some interesting things about India's system of government: It ends up having a lot in common with England's (which makes sense since it was a former British colony) and by extension a lot in common with the U.S. (since us "colonists" stole a lot from England's system of governance as well).

The Vice President serves a 5 year term and would take over if the President is impeached. They have a bicameral legislature. The veep is head of the "higher" house. (The Rajya Sabha)

DAVE CURREY (AMERICAN FOOTBALL)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Currey_(American_football)#/random

So my apologies if you're a big fan of college football coach Currey but it kinda seems like the phrase "meh" was invented just for him. (As a college coach anyhow. His coaching career for high school WAS impressive: 26-6 over 2 years).

He had a 22 year head coaching career beginning in 1967 with his best year in 1980 at Long Beach State with an 8-3 record, undefeated within the conference but 3-3 outside of the PCAA.

So Currey was this massive unstoppable coaching force within the PCAA right? Just ruling it for six years?

Nah. His record was 40-36 INSIDE the conference and 19-17 OUTSIDE of it. So more wins than losses but not THAT impressive.

Nevertheless, this just barely in the W column stretch convinced the University of Cincinnati to take Currey on as coach for five years where in his best years (1985-1986) he led the Bearcats to almost (ALMOST!) break even..5-6 each year.

His career record is 59-72.

Steven Gan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Gan

Journalist considered an “agitator” by the Malaysian government for publishing news they sought to censor such as a 1995 expose about 59 prison inmates who died in a detention camp of preventable disesases (typhoid and beriberi). Jailed by the government in 1996 after reporting at the Asia Pacific Conference and named a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International. Seeking to circumvent government censorship of print media, he founded the news website Malaysiakini.com in 1999 and grew it to become the 14th most visited Malaysian site. The site has been the victim of several cyberattacks during its existence which Gan has blamed on the Malaysian authorities.

The Bangladesh Premier League is the top professional league.

Some of the more widely known NRMs include the Latter Day Saints (“Mormons”), Unification Church (“Moonies”), the Nation of Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Scientology

Yes, THAT Batcave although there are other articles about its use in a non-literal sense. I like Batman but I'm not a fanboy so there were some cool factoids I learned. Such as to get to the secret entrance behind the grandfather clock you "unlock" the door by setting the clock hands to the exact time when Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered. Or that originally there was no cave at all...just an underground tunnel from Wayne Manor to an old barn where the Batmobile was kept hidden.

47. Bee Palmer



Beatrice C. "Bee" Palmer (11 September 1894 – 22 December 1967) was an American singer and dancer born in Chicago, Illinois.



Palmer first attracted significant attention as one of the first exponents of the "shimmy" dance in the late 1910s. She was sometimes credited as the creator of the "shimmy" (although there were other claimants at the time as well).



She first appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies in 1918.



She toured with an early jazz band, which included such notables as Emmett Hardy, Leon Ropollo and Santo Pecora in addition to pianist/songwriter Al Siegel (whom Palmer married). The band was called "Bee Palmer's New Orleans Rhythm Kings". With some personnel changes, the Rhythm Kings went on to even greater fame after parting ways with Palmer.



In 1921, an alleged affair with boxing champ Jack Dempsey created a scandal and a lawsuit.



She is credited as co-composer of the pop song standard "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone".



She made a few recordings which were not issued at the time (including a session with Frankie Trumbauer). Thanks to surviving test pressings/masters, the recordings were finally issued in the 1990s and 2000s.

25. Project Socrates



Project Socrates was a classified U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency program established in 1983 within the Reagan administration. It was founded and directed by physicist Michael C. Sekora to determine why the United States was unable to maintain economic competitiveness—and to rectify the situation.



According to Project Socrates:



[B]ird’s eye view of competition went far beyond, in terms of scope and completeness, the extremely narrow slices of data that were available to the professors, professional economists, and consultants that addressed the issue of competitiveness. The conclusions that the Socrates team derived about competitiveness in general and about the U.S. in particular were in almost all cases in direct opposition to what the professors, economists and consultants had been saying for years, and to what had been accepted as irrefutable underlying truths by decision-makers throughout the U.S.



When Reagan's presidential term ended and the Bush administration came to the White House, Project Socrates was labeled as "industrial policy", and began to fall from favor. As a result, in April 1990, the program was defunded.

19. Dew's Ponds



A 6.7 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) south of Halesworth in Suffolk. It is a Special Area of Conservation.



This site has a variety of types of grassland, hedges and ditches, on chalk overlain by boulder clay.

12. Oranjewoud



A small village in the Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Heerenveen, Friesland. Oranjewoud had a population of 1570 in January 2017. It is known for Oranjewoud Palace.



Oranjewoud Palace was built for the royal family. In 1676 Countess Albertine Agnes of Nassau bought a country seat in the woods as a buitenplaats or summer residence. She was a Princess of Orange, and a widow of the Frisian Stadtholder Willem Frederik of Nassau-Dietz.



After her death, her daughter Princess Henriëtte Amalia of Anhalt-Dessau owned the palace. Her architect Daniel Marot, known for Het Loo Palace, designed a new palace. Two wings were built, but the central building was never built.



After Princess Henriëtte's death, John William Friso, Prince of Orange lived in the palace. He died very early, and his wife, Landgravine Marie Louise of Hesse-Kassel stayed at Oranjewoud after his death. Until 1747 the palace was often visited by the stadhouders. At that time William IV, Prince of Orange lived in Oranjewoud. William V, Prince of Orange visited the palace one last time in 1777.



Beside Oranjewoud Palace the royal family had another residence called Carolineburg. This was a small castle. Probably it was named after Princess Carolina of Orange-Nassau, who lived there. In 1774 it was demolished.



During the French Revolution the palace was demolished and the estate was sold to the Frisian nobility.



One of them was Hans Willem de Blocq van Scheltinga. In 1834 he built a new buitenplaats on the previously royal estate called Oranjewoud, after Oranjewoud Palace. This new buitenplaats was not longer owned by the royal family. It was occasionally visited by members of the royal family. King William I of the Netherlands, King William III of the Netherlands and Queen Juliana of the Netherlands all stayed at Oranjewoud.



Prince Henry of the Netherlands, Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and Prince Claus of the Netherlands visited the buitenplaats as well. Later, the buitenplaats is owned by the Friesland Bank. now it is owned by the Bopper Fryslan Foundation.

8. Ellis River



A 23-mile-long (37 km) river in Oxford County in western Maine. It is a tributary of the Androscoggin River.



The river begins at the outlet of Ellis Pond in the northwest corner of Roxbury and flows southwest via a meandering course into Andover, passing the village of East Andover before turning more to the southeast near South Andover. The river enters the corporate limits of Rumford and joins the Androscoggin at the village of Rumford Point.



From South Andover to the river's mouth, the Ellis River is followed by Maine State Route 5. U.S. Route 2 crosses the river just above its outlet to the Androscoggin.

13) Barry Bingham Jr.

He was an American newspaper publisher and television/radio executive. He was also the third and last generation of the Bingham family that controlled the Louisville daily newspaper, a television station and 2 radio stations.



Barry Jr. was the surviving son of Barry Bingham, Sr. The original plan by Bingham Sr. was for his son to control the family's broadcast properties, as well as the Standard Gravure rotogravure print plant. Robert Worth Bingham III , the brother of Barry Jr., was slated to run the newspapers, but Worth was killed in a freak driving accident at the age of 34 that broke his neck and killed him instantly in 1966 which changed the elder Bingham's plans, and Barry Jr. took over management of the newspapers in 1971.



He was a different breed of newspaper publisher. He insisted on professionalism at all levels, even to the point of insisting on the removal of his own wife, mother, and two sisters from the company board of directors.
