Fedogan & Bremer is a weird fiction specialty publishing house founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1985 by Philip Rahman and Dennis Weiler. The name comes from the nicknames of the two founders when they were in college. The first Fedogan and Bremer project was a commercial cassette recording of a reading of H.P. Lovecraft's \"Fungi From Yuggoth\", released in 1987. A remastered CD version was released in the 1990s, and the work has been extensively pirated. Currently, it is not available, but a re-release is planned. Arkham House had announced the forthcoming publication of Colossus by Donald Wandrei as early as 1965. However, it remained unpublished into the 1980s. Philip Rahman approached the Wandrei estate with the hopes of publishing the collection. While no manuscript nor proposed contents could be found, Rahman and Weiler went forward and published a collection using the same title as the unpublished Arkham House collection. Fedogan and Bremer continued to publish the sorts of works that were published by Arkham House in the sixties under August Derleth's direction. Fedogan & Bremer books were distributed by DreamHaven Books in Minneapolis for many years. They distributed via Arkham House until 2011, when Arkham House temporarily ceased operations. Some Fedogan and Bremer titles have been issued in limited as well as in trade editions. Fedogan and Bremer became inactive from 2006 to 2011 due to personal troubles of the publisher, but never formally announced their closure. The announced project Dead Titans, Waken!, a variant version of Donald Wandrei's novel The Web of Easter Island edited for F&B by S.T. Joshi was purchased by Centipede Press and released as a Limited edition only, in 2011. Following the sudden death of Mr. Rahman 7/23/2011, the business reorganized. The press announced plans to resume production, and distribution arrangements are in place to sell their other titles still in print. WORLDS OF CTHULHU, a Lovecraftian collection edited by R.M. Price, was released in 2012, followed by WEIRDER SHADOWS OVER INNSMOUTH in 2013, and two more titles announced for 2014.

Manganaro's Grosseria Italiana, commonly referred to as Manganaro's, was an Italian market and deli on Ninth Avenue in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It opened in 1893 and operated for 119 years, helping to introduce the hero sandwich to Americans. The family closed the business and put the property up for sale in 2012. The business was founded in 1893 by Ernest Petrucci as a wine and spirits store, Petrucci's Wines & Brandies, that also sold groceries. Its location at 488 Ninth Avenue near 37th Street was on a stretch of the avenue that remained lined with exotic food stores for decades. After the enactment of Prohibition in the U.S. in 1919, Petrucci's nephew James Manganaro, an immigrant from Naples, took over the store in the 1920s and changed the name; in 1927 he was able to buy the building. Manganaro may have invented the hero sandwich, and played a role in introducing it to Americans. On his death in 1953, Manganaro's passed to his brother Louis and sister Nina Manganaro Dell'Orto and their spouses; in 1955, with a publicity agent's help, they invented the six-foot \"Hero-Boy\" sandwich, which was successful enough for one of Dell'Orto's four sons to go on the original version of the TV quiz show I've Got a Secret, and for the family to open a sandwich shop next door at 492–494 Ninth Avenue the following year, while continuing to operate a deli and lunch counter in the rear of the grocery store. In 1962 Louis Manganaro retired and two of his four nephews took over the grocery store and the other two the sandwich shop, Manganaro's Hero-Boy, and the businesses were separated. Sal Dell'Orto, who bought out his brother's half ownership of the grocery store, and James Dell'Orto, who bought out his brother's half ownership of the sandwich shop, fell out over rights to the \"Manganaro's Hero-Boy\" name, trademarked by the sandwich shop in 1969, and advertising for party sandwich telephone hotlines, which led to two separate court cases. The business' neon sign installed in the early 1930s, which became blinking in the 1960s, was turned off in 2000 so that Manganaro's Hero-Boy could not benefit from it. The grocery store was repeatedly found at fault over the hotline and was ordered to pay damages to the sandwich shop, and the financial drain plus waning popularity, some of it due to the declining neighborhood, led to the decision to sell the building and close. This was first announced early in 2011, but the building was withdrawn from the market; the business then closed in late February 2012. Anthony Bourdain featured the store (and its famously brusque service) in an episode of No Reservations in 2009.

McKale Memorial Center is an athletic arena located at 1721 E Enke Dr on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. It is primarily used for basketball, but also features state-of-the-art physical training and therapy facilities. Its construction is marked with a large copper cap that has turned brown over time. McKale Center is home to the University of Arizona Wildcats basketball team. The arena opened in February 1973 and has an official capacity of 14,655 spectators. It hosted the 1988 Pacific-10 Conference men's basketball tournament. The McKale Center was named in honor of J.F. \"Pop\" McKale, a major athletic figure at U of A from 1914 to 1957. At one time, he was head coach of all of the school's athletic teams. He was head basketball coach from 1914 to 1921, where he achieved a 49-12 record. McKale was coach of the Arizona football team from 1914 to 1930, with a record of 80 wins, 32 losses and six ties. It was his first team that resulted in Arizona's teams being nicknamed \"Wildcats.\" In 1914, Arizona's name meant very little in the college football world. Although they lost to Occidental College in Los Angeles 14-0, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times was so impressed with Arizona's effort that he wrote, \"The Arizona men showed the fight of wild cats ...\" Soon afterward, Arizona's student Following the Arizona State University game on February 26, 2000, the University of Arizona athletic department honored head coach Lute Olson with a ceremony to name the McKale Center playing surface \"Lute Olson Court\". Then, during a memorial service in January 2001 for Olson's late wife, Bobbi, it was renamed, \"Lute and Bobbi Olson Court\" in recognition of the couple's impact on the university and the city of Tucson. In 2002, the Eddie Lynch Athletics Pavilion, a state-of-the-art medical and strength/conditioning facility for Wildcat student athletes, was completed and opened. The pavilion (which cost $14 million) was a 36,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) addition to the north end of McKale Center. The upper level has a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) museum-like display area, open to the public, showcasing the history of Arizona Wildcat athletics. In terms of capacity, McKale Center is the second largest arena in the Pac-12 conference. Utah's Jon M. Huntsman Center is the largest basketball arena in the conference, but Arizona averages greater attendance.

Ware v. Hylton, 3 U.S. (3 Dall.) 199 (1796) is a United States Supreme Court case where a divided court ruled that an article in the Treaty of Paris, which provided that creditors on both sides should meet no lawful impediment when recovering bona fide debts, took precedence and overruled a Virginia law passed during the American Revolution which had nullified such debts. The full title of the case is Ware, administrator of Jones, Plaintiff in Error v. Hylton et al. It is also known as the British Debt case. \"The treaty of peace concluded between the United States and Great Britain, in 1783, enabled British creditors to recover debts previously owing to them by American citizens, notwithstanding a payment into a state treasury, under a state law of sequestration. An individual citizen of one state cannot set up the violation of a public treaty, by the other contracting party, to avoid an obligation arising under such treaty; the power to declare a treaty void, for such cause, rests solely with the government, which may, or may not, exercise its option in the premises.\" Justice Iredell delivered the controlling opinion of the Court. \"Patrick Henry, John Marshall, Alexander Campbell, and James Innis appeared for the American debtors, and Andrew Ronald, John Wickham 'the eloquent, the witty, and the graceful,' and Starke, and Baker, for theEnglish creditors.\" John Marshall's argument before the bar won him great admiration at the time of its delivery, and enlarged the circle of his reputation. Flanders also added the reader of Marshall's argument \"cannot fail to be impressedwith the vigor, rigorous analysis, and close reasoning that mark every sentence of it.\" Oral argument in the case was reenacted at Mount Vernon in 2011, with U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito presiding. Historic Mount Vernon and the U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society cosponsored the event.

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, 573 U.S. ___ (2014), is a landmark decision in United States corporate law by the United States Supreme Court allowing closely held for-profit corporations to be exempt from a law its owners religiously object to if there is a less restrictive means of furthering the law's interest. It is the first time that the court has recognized a for-profit corporation's claim of religious belief, but it is limited to closely held corporations. The decision is an interpretation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and does not address whether such corporations are protected by the free-exercise of religion clause of the First Amendment of the Constitution. For such companies, the Court's majority directly struck down the contraceptive mandate, a regulation adopted by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requiring employers to cover certain contraceptives for their female employees, by a 5-4 vote. The court said that the mandate was not the least restrictive way to ensure access to contraceptive care, noting that a less restrictive alternative was being provided for religious non-profits, until the Court issued an injunction 3 days later, effectively ending said alternative, replacing it with a government-sponsored alternative for any female employees of closely held corporations that do not wish to provide birth control.

311th Signal Command as the designated Signal command for the Army Service Component Commands within the Pacific and Korean theaters, the 311th Signal Command combines the strengths of more than 3000 active-duty soldiers, U.S. Army Reserve soldiers and Army civilians to bring expertise, experience and commitment to meet the Army's communications mission in the Pacific. Headquartered at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, the 311th SC and its subordinate units are stationed across 16 time zones, ranging from Alaska to Korea, and from Hawaii to California. The mission of the 311th is to maintain and defend the Pacific LandWarNet (PLWN), a secure Army network used throughout the Pacific region. Serving as the operational Signal command for U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC), the 311th SC takes the lead to ensure the PLWN can be extended to support the deployment and integration of modular, expeditionary Army units called to execute contingency operations within its Area of Responsibility (AOR). In addition to providing support for USARPAC missions with critical planning and execution of signal support, the 311th SC makes continual improvements to the PLWN to remain ahead of and prepared to support the transformation efforts of USARPAC’s Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs) and its sister Theater Enabling Commands (TECs). The 311th Signal Command also supports the Army Network Enterprise vision through its alignment with 9th Signal Command (Army)/NETCOM’s Global Network Enterprise objectives. Through this administrative command relationship, the 311th Signal Command ensures that the Army CIO/G6 and 9th Signal Command’s Army enterprise network standards are supported and implemented throughout the Pacific theater in order to establish a single global Army network enterprise.

Chilotilapia rhoadesii, the Malawi bream, is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi in East Africa where it prefers areas with muddy substrates from the shallows to quite deep waters. Its primary food consists of Melanoides and Lanistes snails. It can reach a length of 22.5 centimetres (8.9 in) TL. Though commonly called a \"bream\", this is due to its looks as it is quite unrelated to the breams proper, which are cypriniform fishes. This species is also found in the aquarium trade. It is the only known member of its genus.

El Agrado (Spanish pronunciation: [el aˈɣɾaðo]), according to oral tradition, the current territory of El Agrado, at the time of the Spanish conquest, was inhabited by the Chimbayaco, which belonged to the nation of Paez. But this can not be regarded as true as it also speaks of Yaguilgas, Yalcones and other groups belonging to the nation of Andaquíes, who lived in surrounding areas. Nor is there any documentation that describes its habitat, customs, and specific characteristics of the group Chimbayaco (across the river, Quechua). However, in the lands that now belong to the municipality of El Agrado, have been found petroglyphs, vestiges, and footprints, which indicates that there really were Indians living in the area and that it requires further investigation to clarify their own reality. One concludes that El Agrado, especially at the time of the Conquest, was visited in and out by Aboriginal people occasionally to organize and defend themselves when they were attacked from Timan by Pedro de Añasco and Juan de Ampudia. The history of El Agrado as an urban area began in the mid-eighteenth century (1753) as a result of the segregationist unrest between whites and Indians, which led to clashes which continued until the beginning of 1950. The Hacienda Chimbayaco, property of the Field Master Juan Losada Young, is the starting point for the development of El Agrado, when, on May 7, 1753, he gave the land known as the plain of Chimbayaco (also known as the Valley of the alfandoques), jurisdiction of the town of Timan, where lived the whites of the parish of Pital who lived with the Indians from Paez. So thrived the nucleus of people and goods, that 54 years later, José Antonio Barreiro, Camilo Carvajal, Joaquin Polo, Augustine Ramirez and Pedro Osorio revived the need to establish a vice-parish in the plain of Chimbayaco, and donated land for this purpose. The Viceroy Amar y Borbon, who reported to the Bishop of Popayán, ordered the creation of the vice-parish, under the protection of Nuestra señora de Belén, but still dependent on the parish of Pital. The new town (Belén) was named after Bethlehem (May 18, 1807). In 1818, before the growth of the town, they felt the need for a larger temple with its population size and economic capacity of the moment. The proposal was made by Rafael Chávarro, on behalf of the parishioners, and it was accepted by the Bishop of Jimenez after a visit. After 40 years, the Vice-parish of Nuestra señora de Belén was converted into a Parrish District on April 5, 1837. According to the Esquema de Ordenamiento Territorial (E.O.T.), El Agrado has a population of 9,461 inhabitants, of which 50.80% live in the town center and the remaining 49.19% in the surrounding rural areas. Its most populated streets are El Astillero, La Maria, Montesitos, La Cañada, La Escalereta, and San José de Belén.

The Battle of Kusonje was a two-day clash fought in the village of Kusonje near the town of Pakrac on 8–9 September 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence. The battle was initiated when a platoon of the Croatian National Guard (Croatian: Zbor narodne garde – ZNG) was ambushed by Croatian Serb forces while conducting a reconnaissance patrol. The ZNG deployed reinforcements to extract the ambushed platoon, but failed to reach them. The surviving members of the platoon held out until they ran out of ammunition and surrendered only to be killed by their captors and buried in a mass grave. The fate of the reconnaissance platoon was not known to Croatian authorities for months, adding fuel to an already volatile atmosphere in the city of Bjelovar, where the ambushed unit was originally based. This tension erupted a week later with the blockade and capture of the Yugoslav People's Army (Serbian: Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija – JNA) barracks in Bjelovar. During a commemoration service held two years later, a landmine exploded killing three and wounding others. The Croatian authorities declared the incident to be a terrorist attack, and it contributed to Croatian government's decision to launch Operation Medak Pocket the next day.

The 1885–86 season was Newton Heath LYR's third season of competitive football. The only competition that the club entered their first team in this season was the Manchester Cup, a competition in which they had reached the final at the first attempt the previous season. It was a case of \"second time lucky\" for the Heathens, as they went one better in the 1886 competition, beating Manchester 2–1 in the final to claim the first trophy in the club's history. The Lancashire Cup, which the club had entered and been soundly beaten in both of the two previous seasons, split into \"Senior\" and \"Junior\" competitions in 1885. Believing that the club's status was better suited to the Junior competition, the Heathens entered their reserve team for the 1885–86 season.

Blessed Gregorio Celli (1225 - 11 May 1343) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Order of Saint Augustine. Celli lived with the latter order in Rimini until he decided to spend the remainder of his life in deep contemplation and so moved to the region's hills where he dwelled in a cave near the Franciscans stationed there. It is claimed he was expelled from his order and became a Franciscan though there is no evidence to support this claim. His beatification received approval from Pope Clement XIV on 6 September 1769 after the pontiff confirmed the late friar's local 'cultus' - otherwise known as popular and enduring veneration.

The 2006 Philadelphia Eagles season ended in the Eagles finishing 10–6, reclaiming the NFC East, and winning a playoff game at home. The season ended in a Divisional Round playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints, but was seen as a success in the face of the adversity of losing starting quarterback Donovan McNabb to injury in Week 11. The Eagles had been to the playoffs from 2000 to 2004, but in 2005, the team was torn apart by injuries and the Terrell Owens saga and finished 6–10 a year after appearing in Super Bowl XXXIX. Retooled and refocused in 2006, the Eagles won four of their first five games, but they underwent a mid-season downturn that left them 5–6 and without McNabb. Backup quarterback Jeff Garcia stepped in and running back Brian Westbrook stepped up as the season turned around for Philadelphia. The team came back from the dead in late-November to win their last five regular season games, surprisingly winning the NFC East division title after a three-game December road sweep of all of its division rivals. They beat the New York Giants 23–20 in a home playoff game before finally losing to the Saints. McNabb started the season with MVP-caliber numbers before his November injury, while Garcia was efficient, running the \"West Coast offense\" perfectly and completing eleven touchdown passes with only two interceptions. Westbrook became the focal point of the team's offense after the loss of McNabb, and responded by rushing for 1,217 yards and racking up 699 receiving yards. Trade acquisition Donte Stallworth combined with second-year wideout Reggie Brown to catch 15 touchdown passes and amass 1,541 receiving yards. Meanwhile, the offensive line was a quiet strength of the team, featuring emerging star Shawn Andrews and a group that started all 16 games together. The offense managed to morph from a quick-strike team under McNabb to a methodical balanced attack under Garcia while finishing No. 2 in yards in the league. The defense was much improved from the previous season. The early season pass rush was savage, and the team appeared to be on the way to a sacks record, but a season-ending injury to Jevon Kearse and attrition weakened the defensive line. During the team's mid-season slump, the run defense was porous, but an elevation in play, spearheaded by defensive leader and All-Pro Brian Dawkins, helped the team turnaround. Trent Cole had eight of the team's 40 sacks and Lito Sheppard and his six interceptions made the Pro Bowl. The defense snagged 19 picks, and returned four of them for touchdowns.

Forty Carats is a play by Jay Allen. Adapted from the French original by Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Gredy, the comedy revolves around a 40-year-old American divorcee who is assisted by a 22-year-old when her car breaks down during a vacation in Greece. Their ensuing romantic interlude changes from a brief encounter to a potentially serious relationship when he turns up on her New York City doorstep to take her 17-year-old daughter on a date. Finding the attraction between them still irresistibly strong, she must overcome her resistance to a May–December romance while contending with her mother, ex-husband, and a real estate client who would like to discuss more than business. After two previews, the Broadway production, directed by Abe Burrows, opened on December 26, 1968, at the Morosco Theatre, where it ran for 780 performances. The opening-night cast included Julie Harris, Franklin Cover, Glenda Farrell, Murray Hamilton, Nancy Marchand, and Michael Nouri. June Allyson, Joan Fontaine, and Zsa Zsa Gabor succeeded Harris, who won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play, in the lead role. Over the years, the play has become a popular vehicle for leading ladies of \"a certain age\". The 1973 film adaptation starred Liv Ullman.

Jay Mazur (born January 22, 1965 in Hamilton, Ontario and raised in Akron, Ohio) is a retired Canadian-born American ice hockey forward.. Selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the 12th round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft from Breck HS in Minnesota (Mazur's father was a petroleum engineer who spent time in both the US and Canada), Mazur then spent four years at the University of Maine, where he earned a degree in physical education. Mazur turned pro in 1987 and signed with the Canucks. His first three pro seasons were spent primarily with the Canucks' IHL farm teams where he was a productive scorer, although he did manage to earn two callups and gain six games of NHL experience. While his size (6'1\" 210 lbs) and scoring touch were attractive to a small Canuck team, he needed time in the IHL to work on his skating, which was marginal by NHL standards. Mazur had a strong training camp in 1990 to crack Vancouver's NHL squad full-time. Unfortunately, though, his season was curtailed by two major injuries which limited him to only 36 games. However, he was productive in his limited action, finishing with 11 goals and 18 points. He also played in all 6 playoff games in Vancouver's opening-round loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Mazur was again on the Canucks' roster to start the 1991–92 season, although he was seeing limited action as a depth player. Following the team's signing of Russian superstar forward Pavel Bure a month into the season on October 31, Mazur was the odd man out and was reassigned to the AHL. He spent three more years in Vancouver's farm system before finally parting ways with the Canucks in 1994. He then became something of a hockey nomad, playing for 8 different pro teams in 5 different minor-pro leagues, as well as brief stops in Italy and Germany, before retiring in 2001. Following his retirement he returned to Maine, where he currently coaches high-school hockey at Scarborough High School and was a Gym Teacher at Scarborough Middle School.

The Lonesome Mouse is a 1943 American one-reel animated cartoon and is the 10th Tom and Jerry cartoon released. This is notable for being the first speaking role of the cat and mouse duo. It was created and released in 1943, and re-released to theatres in 1950. It was directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby. The animators of the cartoon were not credited (typically for early MGM shorts), and this was the last instance in a Tom and Jerry cartoon that this happened. All future Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts credited the animators. the original opening theme was \"Runnin' Wild\", as heard in Barney Bear's Wild Honey. It was replaced by the later Tom & Jerry theme on re-issue. This cartoon is animated by Kenneth Muse, George Gordon, Jack Zander and Irven Spence with additional animation by Pete Burness and Al Grandmain.

David Selwyn Burralung Merringwuy Galarrwuy Wyal Wirrpanda (/ˈwɪrᵊpʌndə/ wirr-ə-PUN-də; born 3 August 1979) is a former Australian rules footballer, best known for his career with the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). Born in Melbourne, Wirrpanda was raised in Shepparton, Victoria, and later attended Worawa Aboriginal College in Healesville, which had been established by his mother's family. He began his football career with a local team, and subsequently progressed to the Eastern Ranges team in the under-18 TAC Cup. Selected by West Coast during the 1995 draft period, Wirrpanda made his debut for the club during the following season. Having played his first game for West Coast at the age of 16 years and 268 days, he remains the youngest player to have played a senior game for the club. Limited by injuries in his first few seasons, Wirrpanda did not establish himself as a regular player until the early 2000s, usually playing out of a back pocket or across a half-back flank. Outstanding form in these positions led to his selection in the 2005 All-Australian team, and the following season he was a member of the West Coast premiership side that defeated Sydney in the 2006 grand final. Often playing as a small forward towards the end of his career, Wirrpanda retired at the end of the 2009 season, finishing with 227 games for the club. Since the conclusion of his playing career, he has involved himself in charity work, including the establishment of the David Wirrpanda Foundation, an organisation supporting Indigenous Australians. Wirrpanda has also expressed a desire to enter politics, and unsuccessfully contested 2013 federal election as the National Party's candidate for the Senate in Western Australia.

The Clement C. Clay Bridge (CC Clay Bridge or Whitesburg Bridge) are two bridges that span the Tennessee River just south of Huntsville in northern part of the U.S. state of Alabama. Both bridges are cantilever truss types. The original bridge span was built in 1931 replacing Whites Ferry which crossed the river at nearby Ditto's Landing. The second span was constructed in 1965. Upon completion, the newer span carried southbound traffic while the original span carried northbound traffic. The Clay bridge was named after former Alabama Governor and Senator Clement Comer Clay. The 1931 span was replaced by a reinforced concrete structure, which opened in June 2006. Demolition of the original span began on August 16, 2006. The bridge carries US-231 and hidden route SR-53 between the Huntsville Metropolitan Area and the Decatur Metropolitan Area. Before the 1952 extension of US-231, the bridge carried SR-38.

Warren Fury (born 10 December 1985 in Swansea) is a Welsh international rugby union player. He currently plays club rugby for Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership. A product of the Wasps Academy, he first came to attention in the 2004–05 season with a number of fine performances for the first team, not least in a friendly match against Western Stormers. Fury made a positive impact in his first year at the Wasps Academy. He made his debut for the 1st XV against Bath in January, aged just 19, and playing on the big stage did not daunt him as he went on to appear as a replacement in the Zurich Premiership semi and final. Fury missed three months in the early season through injury, making his rapid progress even more remarkable. This prompted the coaches' decision to send him to New Zealand for the summer where he gained more match time and experience playing for Auckland team, Suburbs. Fury was included in the 2005 Grand Slam winning Welsh squad that season but unfortunately was unable to take up this place due to injury. The early part of his career was blighted by injury which saw him briefly loaned to London Welsh to regain match fitness whilst at Wasps. Following his return to fitness he transferred to London Irish in 2007 in search of regular first team action which culminated in him winning 2 caps for Wales on the 2008 tour of South Africa. During the 2009 Six Nations campaign Fury was once again called into the Wales squad as scrum half cover. Shaun Edwards described Wales' scrum-half rookie Fury as \"one of the toughest kids I have ever coached physically and mentally\". On 19 May 2009 it was announced he would re-sign for Wasps. In July 2010 Fury joined Leeds Carnegie. After release by Leeds following an knee injury and the clubs demotion from the Premiership, in January after completing rehabilitation on his right knee 2012 he was signed by Bath for three months as cover for long-term injury Mark McMillan. Having left bath spent Fury spent the summer on the international sevens circuit and was included in the Wales squad that travelled to the Las Vegas leg of the series. Fury returned to the fifteen man code with Newcastle Falcons in the RFU Championship and aided them in the promotion back to the Aviva Premiership. Fury started the playoffs semi-final matches against Leeds before injuring his shoulder in first leg of the Playoff final against Bedford.

Nameisis or Namejs (also Nameise, Nameyxe) was a Smegallian duke in the second half of the 13th century. He ruled in the western part of Smegallia, with his capital at Tērvete (present-day Latvia). In 1279–81, he led a Smegallian uprising against the Livonian Order, a crusading military order. Very little is known about his life. He is mentioned only in the Livonian Rhymed Chronicle and in some documents from the 14th century. For this reason he is sometimes referred as semi legendary ruler in Latvian historiography. Nameisis was mentioned for the first time in 1272 when he was one of Smegallian nobles who signed a peace treaty with the Livonian Order and the Archbishop of Riga. In 1279, after the crusader defeat in the Battle of Aizkraukle, Nameisis led a Smegallian revolt against the crusaders. He made an alliance with Traidenis, Grand Duke of Lithuania, and managed to defeat the Livonian garrison in the Tērvete castle. In short time, Smegallians captured other castles and the crusaders were forced to leave Smegallia, except the Mežotne hillfort. In summer 1279, the crusaders made several attempts to conquer back their lost positions. They pillaged lands around Dobele and Tērvete but were unable to conquer the castles. In autumn 1280, Nameisis attacked Riga, the main crusader stronghold. The attack failed because the crusaders managed to summon a great force of their Latgalian allies and set up defensive positions in front of the city. However, the Smegallians managed to capture several prisoners, including order's marshal who was sent to duke Traidenis and eventually killed. In 1281, the Livonian army again attacked the Dobele Castle but, with the help of the Lithuanians, were defeated. In the autumn, a united crusader army (about 14,000 men) attacked Tērvete with war machines. The Smegallians were unable to resist such a force and Nameisis signed a new peace treaty with the Livonian Order. According to the treaty, the Smegallians were forced to pay a tribute and accept German judges but kept their castles and lands. After the treaty, Nameisis went to Lithuania to fight crusaders in Christburg, East Prussia together with duke Traidenis. Since there is no mention of Nameisis after that, it is presumed that he was killed there.

Andromache (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδρομάχη) is an Athenian tragedy by Euripides. It dramatises Andromache's life as a slave, years after the events of the Trojan War, and her conflict with her master's new wife, Hermione. The date of its first performance is unknown, although scholars place it sometime between 428 and 425 BC. A Byzantine scholion to the play suggests that its first production was staged outside of Athens, though modern scholarship regards this claim as dubious.
