The Pogues were an English Celtic punk band fronted by Shane MacGowan and others, founded in Kings Cross, London in 1982, as "Pogue Mahone" – the anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s, recording several hit albums and singles. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems, but the band continued – first with Joe Strummer and with Spider Stacy on vocals – before breaking up in 1996; the Pogues re-formed in late 2001, played across the UK and Ireland and on the US East Coast, until dissolving again in 2014. The group did not record any new material during this second incarnation, their politically-tinged music was informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds, yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, cittern and accordion. The future members of the Pogues first met when MacGowan, Peter "Spider" Stacy, Jem Finer were together in an occasional band called The Millwall Chainsaws in the late 1970s after MacGowan and Stacy met in the toilets at a Ramones gig at The Roundhouse in 1977.

MacGowan was with The Nips, though when they broke up in 1980 he concentrated a bit more on Stacy's Millwall Chainsaws, who changed their name to The New Republicans. In 1982, James Fearnley, a guitarist with The Nips, joined MacGowan and Finer, forming the band known as Pogue Mahone; the new group played their first gig at The Pindar of Wakefield on 4 October 1982. They appeared at Gossips in Dean Street Soho on Thursday 3 November 1983 with Trash Trash Trash and The Stingrays, they added Cait O'Riordan and Andrew Ranken. The band played London pubs and clubs, released a single, "Dark Streets of London", on their own, self-named label, gaining a small reputation – for their live performances, they came to the attention of the media and Stiff Records when they opened for The Clash on their 1984 tour. Shortening their name to "The Pogues" they released their first album Red Roses for Me on Stiff Records that October; the band gained more attention when the UK Channel 4's influential music show The Tube made a video of their version of "Waxie's Dargle" for the show.

The performance, featuring Spider Stacy smashing himself over the head with a beer tray, became a favourite with the viewers, but Stiff Records refused to release it as a single, feeling it was too late for it to help Red Roses for Me. It remained a favourite request for the show for many years. With the aid of producer Elvis Costello, they recorded the follow-up, Rum Sodomy & the Lash, in 1985 during which time guitarist Philip Chevron joined; the album title is a famous comment falsely attributed to Winston Churchill, describing the "true" traditions of the British Royal Navy. The album cover featured The Raft of the Medusa, with the faces of the characters in Théodore Géricault's painting replaced with those of the band members; the album shows the band moving away from covers to original material. Shane MacGowan came into his own as a songwriter with this disc, offering up poetic story-telling, such as "The Sick Bed of Cúchulainn" and "The Old Main Drag", as well as definitive interpretations of Ewan MacColl's "Dirty Old Town" and Eric Bogle's "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda".

The band failed to take advantage of the momentum created by the strong artistic and commercial success of their second album. They first refused to record another album. Looming over the band at this period was the erratic behaviour of their vocalist and principal songwriter, Shane MacGowan, their record label, Stiff Records, went bankrupt soon after the 1987 release of the single "The Irish Rover". Members of the band, including O'Riordan, acted in Alex Cox's Straight to Hell, five songs by the band were included on the film's soundtrack album; the band remained stable enough to record If I Should Fall from Grace with God with its Christmas hit duet with Kirsty MacColl "Fairytale of New York". "Fairytale of New York" was released as a single in 1987 and reached No. 1 in the Irish charts and No. 2 in the British charts over Christmas. The song has become a festive classic in the UK and Ireland over the years, was voted the best Christmas song of all time three years running in 2004, 2005, 2006 in polls by music channel VH1 UK, despite not achieving Christmas Number One when it was released.

It was voted as the 27th greatest song never to reach UK#1 in another VH1 poll, voted as the 84th greatest song of all time by BBC Radio 2 listeners in the "Sold on Song" top 100 poll. In 2007 the record was censored by the BBC because of the word "faggot" being deemed offensive to homosexual people. Following protests from listeners, including the mother of Kirsty MacColl, the censorship was lifted; the band was at the peak of its commercial success, with both albums making the top 5 in the UK, but MacGowan was unreliable. He failed to turn up for the opening dates of their 1988 tour of America, prevented the band from promoting their 1990 album Hell's Ditch, so in 1991 the band sacked him. Vocal duties were for a ti

M-147 was a state trunkline highway in the U. S. state of Michigan. The route started at M-106 just north of Jackson and stopped at the entrance of State Prison of Southern Michigan; the route of M-147 was transferred to local control in 1991 after being signed in 1936. M-147 started at an intersection with M-106 west of the State Prison of Southern Michigan property. From there, the trunkline terminated. Just east of the terminus was a branch line of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad. In 1976, a newspaper article said that "it's... the second shortest highway on Michigan's state highway system, but for those who travel it one way, M-147 is the longest road in the world" in discussing its role as the connection to the state prison. M-147 was designated in 1936 to connect the prison property with the state trunkline system, it would remain under state control until 1991. The entire highway was in Jackson County.

Genie Oil and Gas explored for conventional oil in the Golan Heights through its Afek Oil and Gas subsidiary, pursued oil shale projects through American Shale Oil, Israel Energy Initiatives and Genie Energy Mongolia.

AMSO, IEI, Genie Energy Mongolia are no longer active. 89% of GOGAS was owned by Genie Energy while Jacob Rothschild, Michael Steinhardt and Rupert Murdoch among others held minority interests. In February 2013, Israeli authorities awarded Afek Oil and Gas an exclusive 36-month petroleum exploration license to a 153-square-mile plot in the Golan Heights, which the UN recognizes to be Syrian territory. Afek subsequently conducted above-ground geophysical tests and based on its preliminary analysis, has applied for a ten well exploratory drilling program. South of Katzrin in the southern Golan Heights in 2015, Afek discovered a substantial amount of oil and natural gas reserves; the company had drilled a series of exploratory wells including Ness-5, just northwest of the Avnei Eitan and Nov moshavim and south of Kibbutz Natur and the town of Katzrin. In November 2017, the company announced that it suspended its exploratory drilling program as the well's target zone does not contain commercially producible quantities of oil or natural gas.

Human rights groups have said the drilling violates international law as Golan Heights is an occupied territory. American Shale Oil was a joint venture between Genie Energy and Total S. A.. Genie announced in May 2016, and its pilot plant facilities located outside of Rifle, CO. were subsequently decommissioned and removed. AMSO received in 2006 a Research and Demonstration lease from the U. S.

AMSO's tech team was headed by Dr. Alan Burnham, a scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. AMSO's proposed technology was called CCR. Israel Energy Initiatives was founded in 2008 to develop oil
