Track listing

Pentagón is a Lucha Libre, or professional wrestling ring character also referred to as a gimmick that has been played by a number of different people over the years. The character was created as an Evil twin of professional wrestler Octagón and is always a rudo, or heel character (A character portraying the "bad guy" in wrestling.) The character was created by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) owner Antonio Peña in 1995, giving AAA the rights to the name "Pentagón", which meant that when wrestlers who played Pentagón left AAA they had to modify the name such as "Pentagón Black". There have been at least three distinctive versions of Pentagón

Following the introduction of the Pentagón character Peña also introduced Pentagoncito, a Mini-Estrellas of Pentagón to act as the protagonist against the Mini-Estrella Octagoncito. There has been at least two diffent people under the Pentagoncito character. In 2012 AAA introduced Octagón, Jr., which led to the introduction of Pentagón Jr. a few months later.

Pentagon is a 1986 political novel by Allen Drury which follows the American military bureaucracy as it reacts to a crisis with the Soviet Union. It is a standalone work set in a different fictional timeline from Drury's 1959 novel Advise and Consent, which earned him a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

The novel was published in the United Kingdom as The Destiny Makers in 1988.

Plot summary

The Soviet Union invades and occupies a sparsely-populated Pacific atoll and proceeds to kill the inhabitants and gradually construct a missile and submarine base. Diplomatic overtures by the United States accomplish nothing, and a military response to this Soviet threat seems necessary. Such plans, however, are frustrated by infighting within the Pentagon, Congress, and elsewhere in the government. When the novel ends, the U.S. has failed to respond and the Soviets have consolidated their hold on the atoll.

Critical reception

Publishers Weekly called the idea behind the novel "promising" but then noted "the book's merit ends with that concept". The review went on to criticize it as a "bloated, wooden novel that lacks the simplest of narrative virtues" and added, "as the Pentagon's mishandling of this crisis reaches near-buffoonery, Drury's attempted critique of a bureaucracy burdened with political infighting, waste and mismanagement unintentionally becomes almost comic for those readers with the endurance to get that far."

The Historical pentagon represents the historic core of the Hessian capital Wiesbaden.

It is bordered to the south of the Rheinstraße, to the west of the Schwalbacher Straße, north of the Röderstraße and Taunusstrasse and to the east of the Wilhelmstrasse. These roads form a pentagon enclosing the old town of Wiesbaden. The development outside this street line did not start until the second half of the 19th century.

Within the pentagon of the medieval city layout is located with many historic buildings, including the City Palace of the Dukes of Nassau on Schloßplatz and Old Town Hall and the oldest surviving building in the city dating from Roman times, the Heidenmauer (Wiesbaden) (pagan wall).

The Historical pentagon goes back to the year 1818, when the Wiesbaden city builder and architect Christian Zais presented first building plans and expert evidence for an urban extension in which this approach was adopted.

In the United States, vehicle safety inspection and emissions inspection are governed by each state individually. 17 states have a periodic (annual or biennial) safety inspection program, while Maryland and Alabama require a safety inspection on sale or transfer of vehicles which were previously registered in another state. New Jersey discontinued its passenger vehicle safety inspection program on August 1, 2010.

In 1977, the federal Clean Air Act was amended by Congress to require states to implement vehicle emissions inspection programs, known as I/M programs (for Inspection and Maintenance), in all major metropolitan areas whose air quality failed to meet certain federal standards. New York's program started in 1982, California's program ("Smog Check") started in 1984, and Illinois' program started in 1986. The Clean Air Act of 1990 required some states to enact vehicle emissions inspection programs. State impacted were those in metropolitan areas where air quality did not meet federal standards. Some states, including Kentucky and Minnesota, have discontinued their testing programs in recent years with approval from the federal government.
