Bonaire Flamingo airport ...September 2008.First flight 1973.On Thursday 22/10/2009 the aeroplane sustained substantial damage in a ditching off Bonaire Island, Netherlands Antilles.
The aeroplane departed Curaçao-Hato International Airport (CUR) on a VFR scheduled flight to Bonaire-Flamingo International Airport (BON) at 09:48 with an estimated landing time of 10:13. At approximately 10 minutes after departure a the nr.2 engine quit. The pilot elected to continue the flight to Bonaire on the remaining engine and at approximately 24 nm west of Bonaire, the pilot contacted Flamingo Tower and informed the controller that he was flying on one engine.
PJ-SUN started to lose altitude at a rate of about 200 feet per minute until it impacted the water at a position approximately 0.5 nm south of Klein Bonaire and 3 nm west of the main Island at time 10:17.
During the ditching, at impact with the water surface, the cockpit door and left main landing gear (LH MLG) were detached from the aeroplane. All 9 passengers survived the ditch and were rescued by a diver’s boat that was near the position of the ditching. The passengers reported that after the ditching, the pilot was injured and appeared to be unconscious as he did not try to remove himself from the aeroplane. The pilot actually went down with the aeroplane despite the efforts of some passengers who tried to remove him from his seat while the aeroplane was sinking.Aeroplane was written off...fatality one.
OCTAVIAN. 32-31 BC. AR Denarius (3.45 gm). Bare head of Octavian right; c/m: IMP VES in rectangle / CAESAR DIVI F, Mercury seated right, playing lyre. RIC I 257; CRI 401; RSC 61; c/m: Howgego 839.
See BMCRE Vol. II, pg. xvii where it states that this countermark is found "very rarely" on denarii from about 120 BC to the time of Augustus. "This shows us that the old silver coinage was fast wearing out, and prepares us for the action of Trajan in melting it down in 107." cngcoins.com

Italian-born actress Marisa Pavan (1932) passed away on 6 December 2023. She first became famous as the twin sister to film star Pier Angeli (Anna Maria Pierangeli) before achieving film stardom on her own. The docile actress became known for her gentle, understated roles. She won the Golden Globe and was Oscar-nominated for her supporting turn in The Rose Tattoo (1955).
Marisa Pavan was born Marisa Pierangeli in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, in 1932. Her twin sister was Anna Maria Pierangeli, who later became film star Pier Angeli. Marisa studied briefly at Torquado Tasso College and made her first film appearance in an Italian satire of the Cold War, Ho Scelto L'Amore/I Chose Love (Mario Zampi, 1952), before coming with her family to the United States. She made her American debut playing a sweet village girl in What Price Glory? (John Ford, 1952), 20th Century Fox's remake of the 1926 classic. She then impressed as a blind witness to a murder in Down Three Dark Streets (Arnold Laven, 1953) opposite Broderick Crawford. Her breakthrough came in the film The Rose Tattoo (Daniel Mann, 1955) as Anna Magnani's teen-age daughter. Her role was first assigned to her twin, who at the time was unable to play the part. When Magnani won the Oscar for Best Actress, Pavan accepted on her behalf as Magnani was not present at the awards ceremony. Pavan was nominated for best supporting actress, losing to Jo Van Fleet for East of Eden (Elia Kazan, 1955). Both Magnani and Pavan won Golden Globe awards that year.
Marisa Pavan co-starred in several more Hollywood films, usually in gentle roles. She played the Native American childhood sweetheart of Alan Ladd in Drum Beat (Delmer Daves, 1954). Pavan appeared as the scheming Catherine de Medici in the opulent costume drama Diane (David Miller, 1955) starring Lana Turner, and she had an illegitimate child with Gregory Peck in The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit (Nunnally Johnson, 1956). In 1956, she married, later divorced, and then again remarried the French actor Jean-Pierre Aumont. In the following years she appeared opposite Tony Curtis in the Film Noir The Midnight Story (Joseph Pevney, 1957) as the leading lady to Robert Stack in the sea-faring historical epic John Paul Jones (John Farrow, 1959), and Abishag in the Biblical film adaptation Solomon and Sheba (King Vidor, 1959). Her Hollywood days ended with the dawn of the 1960s. With her husband, she sang in a supper club act that toured the United States, Canada and Mexico. She has been seen in several American TV productions, including The Diary of Anne Frank (Alex Segal, 1967) with Max von Sydow, Cutter's Trail (Vincent McEveety, 1970) with John Saxon, The Moneychangers (Boris Sagal, 1976) starring Kirk Douglas, and The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald (Gordon Davidson, David Greene, 1977).
Marisa Pavan returned to Europe and appeared in the French films L’Evenement Le Plus Important Depuis Que L’homme A Marche Sur La Lune/A Slightly Pregnant Man (Jacques Demy, 1973) starring Marcello Mastroianni, and the romance Antoine et Sebastien (Jean-Marie Perier, 1974) with Jacques Dutronc. She had a hit record in 1974 with a French-language version of Burt Bacharach's 'Green Grass Starts to Grow'. Later she guest-starred in episodes of popular American TV series like The Rockford Files (1979), Hawaii Five-O (1977), McMillan & Wife (1977) and Ryan's Hope (1985). In 1983 she was interviewed for Stelle Emigranti/Wandering Stars (Francesco Bortolini, Claudio Masenza, 1983), a revealing documentary about eight Italian actresses, including Gina Lollobrigida, Claudia Cardinale and Virna Lisi, who attained worldwide fame through films they made in Hollywood. Most of the eight agree that performers are treated better in Hollywood than in Italy and that American efficiency and organisation impressed them - but that in Italy, they had more challenging roles than was allowed in the USA. After Jean-Pierre Aumont died in 2001, Pavan lived in Paris. The pair appeared for the last time together in the French TV film Johnny Monroe (Renaud Saint-Pierre, 1987). They had two sons, Jean-Claude and Patrick. Marisa Pavan was also the stepmother of actress Tina Aumont.

Die Stadt Mühlhausen/Thüringen - Unstrut-Hainich-Kreis - war im Mittelalter nach Erfurt die zweitmächtigste Stadt im Thüringer Raum. Mit dem Bauernkrieg im Jahre 1525 wurde Mühlhausen durch den Prediger Thomas Müntzer und seinen Mitstreiter Heinrich Pfeiffer zum Zentrum von deren radikalreformatorischer Bewegung. Bis 1991 hatte Mühlhausen den Beinamen "Thomas-Müntzer-Stadt. Auch war Mühlhausen die Wirkungsstätte von Johann Sebastian Bach - 1707/1708 war Bach Organist an der Hauptkirche Divi Blasii (Sankt Blasius). Heute leben auf einer Fläche von 86,7 km² ca. 33 000 Einwohner*innen.
