Astrosaurs
Astrosaurs is a series of children's science fiction novels written by Steve Cole, which have been released since 2005. The main characters are space-going dinosaurs named Teggs Stegosaur (a Stegosaurus), Gipsy Saurine (a Corythosaurus), Arx Orano (a Triceratops) and Iggy Tooth (an Iguanodon). The series are published by Random House. The first two Astrosaurs books were released on 1 February 2005, with over twenty books following. The Teeth of the T. Rex was a special edition book written especially for World Book Day. Free trading cards come with each Astrosaur book, featuring foes, weapons, crew members, ships, aliens and many other characters and things found in the relevant book, with a set of 'bonus cards' available to order from the Steve Cole website, which are now believed to have gone out of print, and featured characters from the first eight books. The World Book Day title The Teeth of the T. Rex does not include cards, and is much shorter than the other books. The first five Astrosaurs books have now been released in Audiobook format on CD in the UK. The series is a huge hit with children nationwide. Beginning in late 2010, the books have been re-released with new cover artwork. Currently, books 12–15 are the only ones not to have been given the new covers. Woody Fox is the illustrator on every Astrosaurs book, who also draws the illustrations for the trading cards, with Charlie Fawkes having designed the Astrosaurs logo, consisting of the word 'ASTROSAURS' with the four main characters above it. Synopsis The broad plot synopsis of the Astrosaurs series is that the dinosaurs were not in fact wiped out when a large meteor hit the earth millions of years ago; they had in fact discovered space travel during the Triassic period and had already left earth by the time the meteor struck. The dinosaurs subsequently settled in a part of space called the Jurassic Quadrant, which is divided between the carnivores and herbivores; between the two sectors is a neutral area of space. The two factions broadly stay at peace by avoiding each other, but invariably trouble flares up between the two from time to time. Admiral Rosso, a 'crusty old Barosaurus''', employs Teggs to work for the DSS (Dinosaur Space Service) in the first book and introduces him to his crew, which includes Arx Orano, Iggy Tooth and Gipsy Saurine, along with fifty Dimorphodon. In Earth Attack, which is notable for being an extra-long edition, General Loki the Velociraptor goes back in time to try and prevent the dinosaurs leaving Earth, so the whole history of Astrosaurs would never have happened. However, he is stopped. Characters Books in the series Astrosaurs Academy A spin-off series of Astrosaurs started on 1 May 2008. This series focuses on Teggs Stegosaur in Astrosaurs Academy, it is based before Teggs becomes an Astrosaur. In Astrosaurs Academy, Teggs has two best friends, Blink and Dutch. Gipsy, Arx and Iggy do not appear in this series. The series ended with Space Kidnap on 3 March 2011.Destination: Danger: Published – 1 May

Josef Grassi
Josef Grassi (22 April 1757 – 7 January 1838) was an Austrian portrait and history painter. His middle name is usually given as "Maria", although there is evidence that it was actually "Mathias". He is also called "Giuseppe Grassi". Life Josef Grassi was born in Vienna, the younger brother of sculptor and porcelain modeller Anton Grassi. Their father, Ottilio, was a goldsmith from Udine. Josef studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He felt that he was being unfairly treated there so, when he lost a competition for a travel scholarship to Heinrich Friedrich Füger, he took the advice of some friends who were Polish nationalists and moved to Warsaw. There, he became a teacher of Teresa Jabłonowska (a descendant of Stanisław Jan Jabłonowski) and established himself as a successful portrait painter. When the Kościuszko Uprising broke out in 1794, he was able to leave the battle zone through the mediation of Kościuszko, whose portrait he had painted. In 1799, he was appointed a Professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. He took two leaves of absence while there; one to Gotha in 1804, where he decorated a bedroom for Duke Augustus and, from 1808 to 1810 to Rome as a member of the Accademia di San Luca. From 1816 to 1821, he was in Rome again, serving as the "Director of Studies for Saxon Artists in Italy". At that time, however, the Nazarene movement came into vogue and his work was ignored, so he returned to Dresden. He received the Knight Grand Cross of the Civil Order of Saxony from King Frederick Augustus. Grassi is best known for his sensitive portraits of women. In his later years, his style became less graceful and settled into a form of academic classicism. He died in Dresden, aged 80.

Seasons The Flyers first competed in the National League Division Two in 1948 when they replaced Wigan Warriors after three matches. They competed in Division Two in 1949, 1950 and 1951. In 1952 they dropped out of the league and operated on an open licence riding challenge matches as Fleetwood Knights. 1948 season The first three meetings of the season were run by Wigan Warriors. As the Warriors they lost two and won one meetings. The first meeting at home was against Edinburgh Monarchs on 14 April, which they lost 35–49 with Norman Hargreaves top scoring on ten points. The track had been made available for practice on the afternoon prior to the meeting and the Monarchs took advantage of the session whilst the home riders did not.

Tomato soup
Tomato soup is a soup made with tomatoes as the primary ingredient. It may be served hot or cold in a bowl, and may be made in a variety of ways. It may be smooth in texture, and there are also recipes which include chunks of tomato, cream, chicken or vegetable stock, vermicelli, chunks of other vegetables and meatballs. Popular toppings for tomato soup include sour cream or croutons. In the United States, the soup is frequently served with crackers, which may be crumbled onto the soup by the diner, and a grilled cheese sandwich. Tomato soup is one of the top comfort foods in Poland and the United States. It can be made fresh by blanching tomatoes, removing the skins, then blending them into a puree. The first published tomato soup is mentioned by Eliza Leslie in 1857 in her final publication New Cookery Book. Joseph A. Campbell's recipe for condensed tomato soup in 1897 further increased its popularity. Prepared varieties Commercially prepared tomato soup is available in a variety of forms, including canned, condensed and in dehydrated powder form. "Tomato" ranks among the top three flavors of soup produced by the Campbell Soup Company. Canned tomato soup Canned tomato soup is primarily tomato puree: that is, tomato paste and water with a few other ingredients added to enhance flavor and physical properties of the food. The tomato is a high acid food therefore, "the tomato is not considered a high-risk food, as the pH of the fruit generally ranges from pH 4.2–4.9 with an average of about 4.5. At this point pathogens are unlikely to grow". However, there are still some foodborne pathogens that can pose as a major problem when it comes to the safety of the food and its shelf life stability. The main concern when canning is anaerobic microorganisms that produce toxins like Clostridium botulinum. Even though the tomato is a high acid food it still falls in the range where this organism can grow and produce toxin pH 4.6–8.5 with an optimum growing temperature between 30–40 °C and a maximum temperature of 50 °C. Even if the bacteria are killed they release heat resistant spores that if they start to multiply become a threat. Main ingredients and their functionality The main ingredients for tomato soup are tomato puree and wheat flour. The cell wall structural importance for the plant's growth and stability in the ripening process is equally as important to the quality of the tomato products it can produce. The pectin and cellulose are what determine the apparent viscosity of the tomato product. If they are broken at higher temperatures more enzymes are deactivated than if they are broken at lower temperatures. High-fructose corn syrup is sometimes added to tomato soup to make it sweeter. HFCS is composed of both glucose and fructose in their free monosaccharide from that doesn't crystallize readily. HFCS is also important in binding water, the monosaccharaides of fructose and glucose have the ability to bind to water in the product. The binding of water helps to reduce microbial growth by

Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation
The Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation, previously the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council was established in 1985 by descendants of the Wurundjeri people who are the traditional custodians of the country around Melbourne. There are three family groups in the council: the Nevins, Terricks and Wandins with 30 elders and about 60 members. The members of the Council are all descendants of a Woiwurrung / Wurundjeri man named Bebejan, through his daughter Annie Borate (Boorat), and in turn, her son Robert Wandin (Wandoon). Bebejan was a Ngurungaeta of the Wurundjeri people and was present at John Batman’s ‘treaty’ signing in 1835. The Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation is a Registered Aboriginal Party under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. Roles The Wurundjeri Land Council has a number of different roles: to raise awareness of Wurundjeri culture and history within the wider community. actively managing archaeological sites and sites of cultural significance benefiting the lives of present-day Wurundjeri people and families. Welcome to Country ceremonies that can include speaking in language, traditional dancing, gum leaf and smoking rituals. The Victorian Government has granted land of cultural significance for the Land Council to manage. These sites include: the Sunbury earth rings, an important ceremonial place. Coranderrk Aboriginal Station Cemetery in Healesville (1991) The Council had a statutory role under Commonwealth legislation that gave it the power to grant or refuse consent to disturb Aboriginal sites. This gave the Council members a significant say in how their important cultural places were managed. The Victorian state government introduced the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 and the Wurundjeri Council is now approved as a Registered Aboriginal Party under that Act, which will allow the Council to continue to make decisions about its cultural places. However the decision recognised only the area not under dispute with other parties. The other parties include the Wathaurung/ Wathaurong people to the west, the Dja Dja Wurrung/ Jaara Jaara people to the north-west, the Taungurung people to the north, the Gunai/Kurnai people to the east and the Boon Wurrung/ Bunurong people to the south. The dispute over territorial boundaries has been under challenge since they were set down in 1984 legislation. Administration In 2003 questions were raised over claims of missing funds. Wurundjeri Land Council revenue is predominantly from rental of buildings on the 38-hectare former Army School of Health site in Healesville and a $550 a day fee paid by developers for cultural "site monitoring" by the association to obtain approval for work on culturally sensitive areas. In 2007 the Land Council opened an office at the refurbished Abbotsford Convent to engage with members of the wider community and provide community space for members. The site is on the Yarra River Dreaming Trail, an important part of the bigger creation story of the Wurundjeri people and their country. There are important Wurundjeri camping sites located nearby which have been used for thousands of years. A little way north is the confluence of the Merri Creek and Yarra River near Dights Falls; the burial site of Billibellary;

Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets
Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets was the name of two separate ice hockey teams based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The original team played from 1915–1925. They evolved from being an amateur to a semi-pro team and are one of the earliest sports organizations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Yellow Jackets played primarily in the United States Amateur Hockey Association (USAHA). After winning the USAHA Championship in 1924 and 1925, the Yellow Jackets were sold to attorney James Callahan and soon became the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National Hockey League. However, after the demise of the Pirates in 1930, a second club (founded by the owner of the original club), debuted in the IHL as a professional entity, before reverting to an amateur club in 1934. The team would finish its run in the EAHL, before finally folding in 1937. Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets I After a career in local politics, Roy Schooley, a former hockey referee in the Western Pennsylvania Hockey League, founded the Yellow Jackets as an amateur hockey team in 1915. As with all American teams of this era, the Yellow Jackets fell under the jurisdiction of the International Skating Union. For 6 years, the club played in independent competitions. In late October, 1920, the United States Amateur Hockey Association was formed, with Yellow Jackets officials Schooley and W.S. Haddock serving as co-founders and respectively acting as the league's secretary-treasurer and president. The Yellow Jackets played exhibition games against other USAHA clubs in its inaugural season before joining the league full-time in 1921. "Pittsburgh's Canadians" According to former sports reporter Paul Sullivan, who covered hockey for much of his life for the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, the USAHA wasn't a completely amateur league. Sullivan noted that even though the USAHA was called an amateur league, "They didn't come down from Canada because they thought Pittsburgh was a nice place." This leads one to believe that money was paid out to top players in the league. The eastern teams of USAHA soon imported Canadian players, to add to their rosters of local players. In 1923, Schooley had invited Lionel Conacher, a future Hall of Famer, to come to Pittsburgh and officiate games in February 1923, "to see if the crowd would take to him". Schooley then asked Conacher to play with the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets in a four-game series against his former team, the Toronto Aura Lee hockey team, and against the Hamilton Tigers. Conacher impressed the Pittsburgh fans by scoring 11 of the Yellow Jackets' 23 goals in the four games. Conachar then, under the guidance of Roy Schooley, transformed the Yellow Jackets line-up to an almost Canadian team. Schooley then used his connections in the Pittsburgh media to promote Conachar to the city's hockey fans. After seeing how well the fans took to Conacher, Schooley made him the team’s captain, and asked him to invite a number of his friends to play for the Yellow Jackets. These players included Harold Cotton, Hib Milks, Harold Darragh, Rodger Smith, Duke McCurry, "Tex" White and goalie Roy Worters. Dick Carroll, who had coached the Toronto Arenas to the Stanley

Bus lane
A bus lane or bus-only lane is a lane restricted to buses, often on certain days and times, and generally used to speed up public transport that would be otherwise held up by traffic congestion. Bus lanes are a key component of a high-quality bus rapid transit (BRT) network, improving bus travel speeds and reliability by reducing delay caused by other traffic. A dedicated bus lane may occupy only part of a roadway which also has lanes serving general automotive traffic; the related term busway describes a roadway completely dedicated for use by buses. History The world's first designated bus lane was created in Chicago in 1940. The first bus lanes in Europe were established in 1963 in the German city of Hamburg, when the tram system was closed and the former segrated tram tracks were converted for bus travel. Other large German cities soon followed, and the implementation of bus lanes was officially sanctioned in the German highway code in 1970. Many experts from other countries (Japan among the first) studied the German example and implemented similar solutions. On 15 January 1964 the first bus lane in France was designated along the quai du Louvre in Paris and the first contraflow lane was established on the old pont de l’Alma on 15 June 1966. On 26 February 1968 the first bus lane in London was put into service on Vauxhall Bridge. The first contraflow bus lane in the UK was introduced in King's Road, Reading as a temporary measure when the road was made one-way (eastwards to Cemetery Junction) on 16 June 1968. The initial reason was to save the expense of rerouting the trolleybus, which was due to be scrapped on 3 November of that year. However the experiment proved so successful that it was made permanent for use by motor buses. By 1972 there were over of with-flow bus lanes in 100 cities within OECD member countries, and the network grew substantially in the following decades. The El Monte Busway between El Monte and Downtown Los Angeles was the first dedicated busway in the US, constructed in 1974. Design Bus lanes may be located in different locations on a street, such as on the sides of a street near the curb, or down the center. They may be long, continuous networks, or short segments used to allow buses to bypass bottlenecks or reduce route complexity, such as in a contraflow bus lane. Bus lanes may be demarcated in several ways. Descriptive text such as "BUS LANE" may be marked prominently on the road surface, particularly at the beginning and end. Some cities use a diamond-shaped pavement marking to indicate an exclusive bus lane. The road surface may have a distinctive color, usually red, which has been shown to reduce prohibited vehicles from entering bus lanes. Road signs may communicate when a bus lane is in effect. Bus lanes may also be physically separated from other traffic using bollards, curbs, or other raised elements. In some cities, such as The Hague in the Netherlands, buses are allowed to use reserved

USS Hickman County (LST-825)
USS Hickman County (LST-825) was an built for the United States Navy during World War II. Named after counties in Kentucky and Tennessee, she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name. Originally laid down as LST-825 on 2 October 1944 by the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company, Evansville, Indiana; launched 11 November; sponsored by Mrs. John Spindler; commissioned at New Orleans on 8 December with Lieutenant Henry V. Hartsell in command. Service history World War II, 1944–1946 After shakedown in the Gulf of Mexico, USS LST-825 loaded oil and cargo at New Orleans and sailed for the West Coast. She arrived at San Diego on 30 January 1945, discharged her cargo and continued on to Seattle, arriving on 4 February. Loading oil, ammunition and embarking troops, LST-825 sailed for the Pacific on 26 February 1945. The momentous Pacific campaign was in full swing at Okinawa when LST-825 reached that rocky Japanese fortress via Pearl Harbor, Guam, Eniwetok, and Ulithi on 21 April to discharge troop reinforcements and cargo. LST-825 retired to Saipan, where she loaded cargo and supplies for the famed Seabees and returned to Okinawa on 26 June. A late July convoy took the LST to Iwo Jima with cargo and supplies; and she returned to Okinawa on 4 September. Hostilities having ended on 15 August, LST-825 embarked troops and equipment of the Fifth Air Force destined to participate in the occupation of Japan. Entering Tokyo Bay on 25 September, she disembarked the occupation forces and their equipment and set course for Okinawa. During November 1945 LST-825 completed a second Okinawa-Japan trip. On the 16th the landing ship embarked 514 enlisted men at Guam and sailed for the United States via Pearl Harbor as part of the Operation Magic Carpet fleet bringing home veterans, arriving San Francisco on 22 December. After a few months of tactical operations along the West Coast, LST-825 decommissioned at Swan Island, Portland, Oregon and joined the Pacific Reserve Fleet on 22 May 1946. Korean War, 1950–1954 With the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, LST-825 recommissioned on 3 November 1950 with Lieutenant Thomas R. Ashton in command. After training out of San Diego, LST-825 entered Pearl Harbor on 8 April 1951 where she transported passengers and cargo among the Hawaiian Islands until returning stateside on 1 July. On 17 September she returned to Hawaii and operated there until her return on 16 December to San Diego. Departing San Diego on 26 April 1952, the LST arrived at Yokosuka on 11 June via Pearl Harbor and Midway Island. She made several cruises to the Korean coast to participate in tactical amphibious exercises and maneuvers of U.S. and Republic of Korean troops. LST-825 also carried prisoners-of-war from Korea to Japan. She returned to San Diego on 5 March 1953 for scheduled amphibious landing exercises and fleet tactics along the western seaboard. Her second Western Pacific cruise began on her departure from California on 20 January 1954. Spring and early summer were spent in operations along the Japanese and Korean coast as well as cargo duty

Karlamagnús saga
The Karlamagnús saga, Karlamagnussaga or Karlamagnus-saga ("saga of Charlemagne") was a late-thirteenth-century Norse prose compilation and adaptation, made for Haakon V of Norway, of the Old French chansons de geste of the Matter of France dealing with Charlemagne and his paladins. In some cases, the Karlamagnús saga remains the only source for otherwise-lost Old French epics. The ten branches The vast work is divided into 10 chapters, or "branches," as follows: I. "Karlamagnus" (Upphaf Karlamagnús) Or "Charlemagne’s Early Life," a digested account of Charlemagne and his knights. Includes a version of the tale of the thief Basin, which has not survived in French. II. "Lady Olif and Landres her Son" (Af frú Ólif og Landrés syni hennar) Based on an English version (of the lost Dame Olive et Landri), according to the author; it is an adaptation of the French chanson de geste Doon de la Roche a work also known in medieval Spain under the title Historia de Enrique, Fi de Oliva; III. "Oddgeir the Dane" (Af Oddgeiri dansks) Adaptation of La Chevalerie Ogier de Danemarche, recounting the exploits of Ogier the Dane; IV. "King Agulandus" (Af Agulando konungi & Ferakuts þáttur) Lengthiest branch by far, chronicling Charlemagne and Roland's battle with Agulandus (Agolant), his son Jamund, and the giant Ferragut, attempting to stitch together accounts from Historia Caroli Magni and a version of Chanson d'Aspremont; V. "Gvitalin the Saxon" (Af Gvitalín Saxa) An account of a campaign against the Saxons, related to Jean Bodel's Chanson de Saisnes; VI. "Otuel" (Af Otúel) A version of the French poem Chanson d'Otinel; VII. "The Journey to Jerusalem" (Af Jórsalaferð) A "very close translation" of an identified Anglo-Norman manuscript of the Le Pèlerinage de Charlemagne; VIII. "The Battle of Runzival" (Af Runzival Bardaga) A version of The Song of Roland textually close (although with a few notable differences) to the Oxford manuscript; IX. "William Short-Nose" (Af Vilhjálmi korneis) A rendition of the Moniage Guillaume of the Guillaume d'Orange cycle; X. "Miracles and Signs" (Um kraftaverk og jartegnir) Or "The Death of Charlemagne." Based on the account in Vincent de Beauvais’s Speculum historiale. Translations A modern English translation of the work, in three volumes, was completed by Constance B. Hieatt, with copious notes and index. The saga was translated into Swedish verse in the fourteenth century as Karl Magnus. It was also given an abridged translation into Danish as Karl Magnus Krønike, with the earliest manuscript dating to 1480, followed by printed versions. Roland og Magnus kongen is the only Norwegian ballad to have been composed out of the saga, based on Branch VIII.

El Paso station
El Paso station or The El Paso Union Depot is an Amtrak train station in El Paso, Texas, served by the Texas Eagle and Sunset Limited. The station was designed by architect Daniel Burnham, who also designed Washington D.C. Union Station. It was built between 1905 and 1906 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. History The station served as a transfer point for several railroads. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe ran a train north to Socorro, Belen and Albuquerque. The Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico operated a train south to Ciudad Madera, Chihuahua in Mexico. The Southern Pacific Railway operated trans-continental trains west to California, and east to Louisiana via Texas. The Texas Pacific and then the Missouri Pacific Railroad operated trains to Fort Worth, Texas. Present In addition to Amtrak service, the station is served by Sun Metro local buses at nearby stops. There has been intermittent talk of resurrecting streetcar service across the border to Ciudad Juarez since the last trolley rolled some thirty years ago. The station's office space are occupied by the Texas Tech College of Architecture, which opened in 2013. Sun Metro was formerly headquartered in the space until it moved in 2014.

It is based on the story of The Ballad of Narayama updated to the present day, with the substitution of putting a parent into an old people's home for the abandonment of the original. The film won the Golden St. George and the FIPRESCI Prize at the 21st Moscow International Film Festival. Plot Yasukichi (Rentarō Mikuni) visits "Ubasuteyama", a mountain where, in the past, old people were left to die. He is a regular at a bar. While at the bar he defecates in his clothes. The bar owner (Naoko Otani) literally kicks him out of the bar. Lying on the pavement, he is run over by a man on a bicycle, who turns out to be a doctor. His daughter, Tokuko (Shinobu Otake), is awakened by a phone call from the hospital asking her to collect Yasukichi. She tries to decline, saying she has bipolar disorder and cannot look after her father, but eventually is forced to take him in. Yasukichi has stolen a book from the hospital about Obasuteyama and begins reading it to Tokuko. The story of Ubasuteyama is told on the screen, in a black and white film. Tokuko's sister comes to visit. Yasukichi again loses control of his bowels before she arrives. Yasukichi visits a park and talks to the doctor again. He visits the bar again and begins arguing with the regulars about treatment of the elderly. He then loses control of his bowels and collapses, again, and returns to the hospital. At the hospital, his son visits and announces his marriage. After some persuasion, Yasukichi accepts that he must go into the old people's home. He goes into the old people's home but then Tokuko decides that she is lonely without him and brings him back out again.

Y Điêng
Y Điêng (born 1928) is an Ê Đê author and ethnographer from Sông Hinh District, Phú Yên Province, Vietnam. As a young man he joined the fight against the French for independence and subsequently worked for the Voice of Vietnam in the late 1950s. His ethnographic works such as Truyên cô Ê-đê (E De Tales) chronicle the lives of the Ê Đê people during the war against the French and explore the social mores, beliefs and lifestyles of his native community. After making the transition from recording oral folk literature to writing works of fiction, these themes also were common in his short stories and novels. Y Điêng's novels were the first to be published bilingually in Ê Đê and Vietnamese. He has won three local writing competitions and was the first Ê Đê recipient of the Vietnam State Award for Literature and Art (2007). Works Em chờ bộ đội Awa Hồ (1962) Ông già Khơ Rao (1964) Như cánh chim Kway (1974) Hơ Giang (1978) Drai hlinh đi về phía sáng (1985) Truyên cô Ê-đê (1988) Chuyện trên bờ sông Hinh (1994) References Category:Living people Category:1928 births Category:Vietnamese novelists Category:Vietnamese male short story writers Category:Vietnamese short story writers Category:People from Phú Yên Province Category:Rade people

Gordon Watson (footballer, born 1971)
Gordon Watson (born 20 March 1971) is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward. He played for Charlton Athletic, Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton, Bradford City, Bournemouth and Hartlepool United, making over 200 appearances in the Football League. Early and personal life Born in Sidcup, Watson grew up in children's homes in London. Throughout his career he was known as "Flash", after the comic book hero, Flash Gordon. Club career Charlton Athletic Watson started his career with the youth team of Charlton Athletic. He made a "successful transition" into the senior squad, scoring seven goals in 31 appearances for them in the Football League. Sheffield Wednesday He signed for Sheffield Wednesday for a fee of £250,000, with a further £100,000 payable depending on appearances. He made his debut for the club in March 1991. He made his last appearance for the club in May 1995. He scored 15 goals in 66 Football League appearances for them, scoring six further goals in 21 appearances in other competitions. In March 1995, after four years at Hillsborough, Watson was signed by relegation-threatened Southampton (under manager Alan Ball) for a fee of £1,200,000. Southampton He made his Saints debut at Nottingham Forest on 18 March 1995 and scored against Newcastle United in his home debut four days later as the Saints came from a goal down after 89 minutes to snatch a "priceless" 3–1 victory. Watson went on to make 12 Premier League appearances (scoring three goals) in the 1994–95 season as Saints lifted themselves to a 10th-place finish. According to Holley & Chalk's In That Number, Watson was "an effervescent,never-say-die forward, the sort the crowd always love and, although not the most skilful of front-runners, he had a swashbuckling style that unnerved defences." Alan Ball left The Dell at the end of the 1994–95 season, to be replaced by Dave Merrington. The 1995–96 season was a poor one for both the Saints (finishing in 17th place, just above the relegation zone) and Watson, with only three goals from 25 league appearances, with the goal-scoring being shared by Matthew Le Tissier and Neil Shipperley, with seven league goals each. For 1996–97, Saints appointed a new manager in Graeme Souness who brought in Egil Østenstad as first choice striker to play alongside Le Tissier, leaving Watson to make only the occasional appearance. His final appearance for The Saints was in a humiliating FA Cup defeat at Elm Park, Reading on 4 January 1997. Bradford City Two weeks later, Watson was sold to Bradford City for £500,000 and was the club's then record signing. On 1 February 1997, while making his third appearance for Bradford City, he suffered a double fracture of his right leg in a tackle with Huddersfield Town defender Kevin Gray. The tackle was described by football pundit, Jimmy Hill, as "late, dangerous and violent" and was one of the worst tackles he had ever seen. Watson and the club took the matter to court, suing both Huddersfield Town and Gray for negligence. Watson won the case, and was awarded initial damages of £50,000.

Almude
The almude or cântaro is an obsolete Portuguese unit of measurement of volume used in Portugal, Brazil and other parts of the Portuguese Empire. An almude was equivalent to 6 potes or 12 canadas. In Spain, the unit was called almud and it was much smaller. The exact value of the almude was different from region to region. Some examples were: Portugal (modern standard): 16.7 liters Faro: 17.04 liters. Lisbon: 16.54 liters. Madeira: 17.72 liters. Oporto: 25.08 liters. Rio de Janeiro (Brazil): 16.54 liters. Viana do Castelo: 24.60 liters.

Lawrence Armstrong
Lawrence Armstrong (1664 – 6 December 1739) was a lieutenant-governor of Nova Scotia and acted as a replacement for the governor, Richard Philipps, during his long absences from the colony. Armstrong was born in 1664 in Ireland. According to a Pedigree of Armstrongs compiled by Edmund Clarence Richard Armstrong, Bluemantle Pursuivant, Keeper of Irish Antiquities, National Museum, Dublin, His parents were Charles Armstrong (1646-1731) and a Miss Gostwick, who are shown in Burke's Commoners as having no issue. Charles Armstrong's birthplace was Stonestown, Offaly, Ireland. Armstrong arrived in the New World in 1711 as a ship-wreck victim along with troops headed to take Quebec. He and a contingent of men were dispatched to strengthen Annapolis Royal, in Nova Scotia. The garrison was impoverished and Armstrong and his fellow captains had little choice but to use their own pay to support their companies, trying to improve their situation, until the appointment of Richard Philipps as governor and the establishment of the new Col. Philipp's Regiment of Foot in 1717. Armstrong's debts accumulated as the problems of supporting his company increased, and with his Boston creditors pressing him, he went to England in 1715 to seek redress. In February 1715/16 he presented his case to the Lords of Trade, who arranged to reimburse him for his losses. He spent four years in England, living on his pay and compensation. He returned to Nova Scotia in 1720 where circumstances had markedly improved. In 1725, he was appointed lieutenant-governor of Nova Scotia. His period as lieutenant-governor was marked by many difficulties and attempts to improve the lot of the colony. There was a mistrust and dislike between Armstrong and Governor Philipps, and ongoing problems with the governor's brother-in-law, Major Alexander Cosby, who had a great deal of influence in the colonies of Nova Scotia. Armstrong left Nova Scotia as soon as Philipps arrived in 1729, but was back in 1731 bearing a new commission, as colonel commanding the 40th Foot, with orders for Philipps’ recall, and an entitlement to Philipps’ pay. At age 75 and suffering from illness, on 6 December 1739 Lieutenant-governor Armstrong allegedly committed suicide at Annapolis Royal, N.S to end his stormy, and often frustrating, career.

The Siket Disc
The Siket Disc is the eighth studio album by the American rock band Phish. The album was released in July 1999 through the band's website and mail-order service, and was released commercially by Elektra Records on November 7, 2000. Unlike Phish's other records, The Siket Disc is completely instrumental, and its songs are excerpts from studio jams recorded during the sessions for The Story of the Ghost. ProductionThe Siket Disc emerged from material developed during the Bearsville Studio sessions for Phish's 1998 album The Story of the Ghost. Not exactly outtakes or unfinished songs, The Siket Discs compositions are actually select excerpts from the long-form improvisation of the "Ghost Sessions". Phish keyboard player Page McConnell edited and mastered the selections into this compilation, named for engineer John Siket. The material on The Siket Disc is defined by an almost ambient, post-rock sound that is a distinct departure from the band's major studio albums. The album is almost completely instrumental, but contains a few instances of vocalization. "Quadrophonic Toppling", for instance, includes a triggered sample of bass guitarist Mike Gordon repeating the song's title. Only the compositions "My Left Toe" and "What's the Use?" have been notably incorporated into the band's live shows on a somewhat regular basis. (However, "Quadrophonic Toppling" and "The Happy Whip and Dung Song" have each made at least one live appearance). Gordon has indicated that The Siket Disc became a fixture in the band's late night tour bus music rotation in the early 2000s, saying that "It fit the vibe perfectly ... It's one of the only instances I can remember when we regularly played our own music." In February 2009, this album was made available as a download in FLAC and MP3 formats at LivePhish.com.

Toy store
A toy store or toy shop is a type of retail business specializing in selling toys. Notable examples Hamleys, the world’s largest toy shop Toys “R” Us, international company now Tru Kids FAO Schwarz, famous American brand and store The LEGO Store, official store for Legos Build-A-Bear Workshop has the concept of making your own stuffed toy Learning Express Toys, franchise of specialty toys History The first toy store was founded in 1760 by William Hamley in London, under the name of “Noah’s Ark”, later renamed to Hamleys. The famous toy store in New York City, FAO Schwarz, was founded under the name Schwarz Toy Bazaar. It was founded in 1862 by the German immigrant, Frederick August Otto Schwarz. The former largest toy retailer in the United States, Toys “R” Us, started business in 1948 by Charles Lazarus, a veteran of World War II. In 2015, FAO Schwarz closed, and did not reopen until after Toys “R” Us went bankrupt in 2018. Economics Today, toy stores face competition from the online toy market. As a result, many large toy retailers have been rendered bankrupt. These competing websites include Amazon or eBay. Toys “R” Us cut prices in an attempt to compete, but it ultimately ended in failure. As Jeff P. Bezos explained, "For a toy store to survive, they've got to create the kind of fun that Amazon can't." Toy Stores that adopt this model by increasing in-store interactivity have been more successful in maintaining business. Another model many stores have adopted is an online alternative, specifically for the individual retailer. Controversies There can be a large gender bias for the marketing of certain products. This includes using color to market products to a certain gender, or only showing one gender to market to that specific demographic. On the U.S. Disney Store website, the toys for boys are predominantly red, black, brown, or grey, while the toys for girls are mostly pink or purple. However, the toys meant for both boys and girls were mostly of the same color palette as the toys for boys.

Phaser (effect)
A phaser is an electronic sound processor used to filter a signal by creating a series of peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum. The position of the peaks and troughs of the waveform being affected is typically modulated so that they vary over time, creating a sweeping effect. For this purpose, phasers usually include a low-frequency oscillator. Phasers are often used to give a "synthesized" or electronic effect to natural sounds, such as human speech. The voice of C-3PO from Star Wars was created by taking the actor's voice and treating it with a phaser. Process The electronic phasing effect is created by splitting an audio signal into two paths. One path treats the signal with an all-pass filter, which preserves the amplitude of the original signal and alters the phase. The amount of change in phase depends on the frequency. When signals from the two paths are mixed, the frequencies that are out of phase will cancel each other out, creating the phaser's characteristic notches. Changing the mix ratio changes the depth of the notches; the deepest notches occur when the mix ratio is 50%. The definition of phaser typically excludes such devices where the all-pass section is a delay line; such a device is called a flanger. Using a delay line creates an unlimited series of equally spaced notches and peaks. It is possible to cascade a delay line with another type of all-pass filter. This combines the unlimited number of notches from the flanger with the uneven spacing of the phaser. Structure Traditional electronic phasers use a series of variable all-pass phase-shift networks which alter the phases of the different frequency components in the signal. These networks pass all frequencies at equal volume, introducing only phase change to the signal. Human ears are not very responsive to phase differences, but this creates audible interferences when mixed back with the dry (unprocessed) signal, creating notches. The simplified structure of a mono phaser is shown below: The number of all-pass filters (usually called stages) varies with different models, some analog phasers offer 4, 6, 8 or 12 stages. Digital phasers may offer up to 32 or even more. This determines the number of notches/peaks in the sound, affecting the general sound character. A phaser with n stages generally has n/2 notches in the spectrum, so a 4-stage phaser will have two notches. Additionally, the output can be fed back to the input for a more intense effect, creating a resonant effect by emphasizing frequencies between notches. This involves feeding the output of the all-pass filter chain back to the input, as shown here: The frequency response of an 8-stage phaser with or without feedback is shown. Note that the peaks between the notches are sharper when there's feedback, giving a distinct sound. A stereo phaser is usually two identical phasers modulated by a quadrature signal; the output of the oscillators for the left and right channels are a quarter-wave out of phase. Most modern phasers are a part of a digital signal processor, often emulating analog phasers. Phasers are mostly

Dikran Tulaine
Dikran Tulaine (born 23 June 1956) is an English-Armenian actor, storyteller and playwright, best known for appearances on television, such as the recurring guest role of Max on the NBC series The Blacklist (2013–15), and in the films G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013), Black Knight (2001) and Seeking Justice (2011). Early years Born John Dikran Utidjian in London, England, Dikran grew up in the Middle East, the Caribbean and the USA as his family followed his father's medical career. After spending his teen years in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he moved to London in the mid-70s to pursue his interests. In 1976 he became lead vocalist for the ska band Madness when they first formed as the North London Invaders. At this time he took the stage name Tulaine when he registered with Equity. Career Tulaine worked in the British theatre and television during the 1980s, at times touring in Paris, Croatia, Greece and the United States. In 1982, Tulaine worked at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1983 he appeared as part of the Second Company in all three parts of Shakespeare's Henry VI, as part of BBC Television Shakespeare, a series of the complete works as known at the time. In 1985-86, he performed at the Royal National Theatre as part of the McKellen-Petherbridge Group, founded by Ian McKellen and Edward Petherbridge. As part of the group, he appeared in Chekov's The Cherry Orchard, Sheridan's The Critic, and Webster's The Duchess of Malfi in repertory. In the early 1990s, Tulaine relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, in the US to work with the Atlanta Shakespeare Company, where he stayed for about 8 years, acting and directing. In the early 1980s, Tulaine began acting in film and television, and eventually he moved to New York City, New York, to increase his career opportunities. Besides working in film, he continues to be active in theater and as a performance artist. Margaret Jefferson quotes Tulaine on morality in her 2004 review of Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children. America, it shouldn't be forgotten, is a country founded by Puritans. Although a lot of this morality was outdated when it was first enforced, a curtain of morality still hangs over this country. It's a chain on the American Psyche. There's this idea here that all archetypes have to fulfill an absolutely ludicrous moral code. Tulaine also does "voice-over" work and reads for audiobooks, releasing The Iliad in 2012 and Drinking Midnight Wine in 2013. In 2015 he played the role of Lech Choinski in "Payback" the 20th episode of the 5th season of the CBS crime drama Blue Bloods. Works In April 2014, Tulaine's Shakespeare adaptation Antonio & Shylock: Monsters opened at Stage Left Studio in New York City. It was well received by critics.

Luang Prabang
Louangphabang, (Lao: ຫລວງພະບາງ) or Luang Phabang (pronounced ), commonly transliterated into Western languages from the pre-1975 Lao spelling ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ (ຣ = silent r) as Luang Prabang, literally meaning "Royal Buddha Image", is a city in north central Laos, consisting of 58 adjacent villages, of which 33 comprise the UNESCO Town Of Luang Prabang World Heritage Site. It was listed in 1995 for unique and "remarkably" well preserved architectural, religious and cultural heritage, a blend of the rural and urban developments over several centuries, including the French colonial influences during the 19th and 20th centuries. The centre of the city consists of four main roads and is located on a peninsula at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong River. Luang Prabang is well known for its numerous Buddhist temples and monasteries. Every morning, hundreds of monks from the various monasteries walk through the streets collecting alms. One of the city's major landmarks is Mount Phou Si; a large steep hill which despite the constrained scale of the city, is high; a steep staircase leads to Wat Chom Si shrine and an overlook of the city and the rivers. The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. It had also been known by the ancient name of Xieng Thong. It was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos, until the Pathet Lao takeover in 1975. The city is part of Luang Prabang District of Luang Prabang Province and is the capital and administrative centre of the province. It lies approximately north of the capital Vientiane. Currently, the population of the city as a whole is roughly 56,000 inhabitants with the UNESCO protected site being inhabited by around 24,000. History Muang Sua was the old name of Luang Prabang following its conquest in 698 CE by a Tai prince, Khun Lo. Khun Lo had been awarded the town by his father, Khun Borom, who is associated with the Lao legend of the creation of the world, which the Lao share with the Shan and other peoples of the region. Khun Lo established a dynasty whose fifteen rulers reigned over an independent Muang Sua for nearly a century. In the second half of the 8th century, Nan-chao intervened frequently in the affairs of the principalities of the middle Mekong Valley, resulting in the occupation of Muang Sua in 709. Nan-chao princes or administrators replaced the aristocracy of Tai overlords. Dates of the occupation are not known, but it probably ended well before the northward expansion of the Khmer empire under Indravarman I (r. 877–89) and extended as far as the territories of Sipsong Panna on the upper Mekong. In the meantime, the Khmers founded an outpost at Xay Fong near Vientiane, and Champa expanded again in southern Laos, maintaining its presence on the banks of the Mekong until 1070. Chanthaphanit, the local ruler of Xay Fong, moved north to Muang Sua and was accepted peacefully as ruler after the departure of the Nan-chao administrators. Chanthaphanit and his son had long reigns, during which the

Alin Pânzaru
Alin Cristinel Pânzaru (born 18 January 1976) is a Romanian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Pânzaru made his Liga I debut on 4 December 1993, for Oțelul Galați in a 1-1 draw against Inter Sibiu. In his first 9 years of career Pânzaru played mainly for teams from Galați such as: Oțelul Galați, Dunărea Galați or Constant CFR Galați. In 2003 he signed a contract with FC Vaslui, then playing for FC Gloria Buzău and the Moldovan side Zimbru Chișinău. In 2007 he moved to Oțelul Galați and Dunărea Galați bitter rival, Dacia Unirea Brăila, named CF Brăila at that time, and played there in more than 100 matches, until his retirement in 2012. In 2012, after retirement, Pânzaru started immediately his football manager career at his last club as a player Dacia Unirea Brăila. Trivia During the 2017–18 Liga II season he was the protagonist of a controversial moment, when he accused Gabriel Iosofache and Costel Roșu, two of the club players, of match fixing. Dacia Unirea was already in the middle of some media speculations at that moment due to some results with frequent score changes, such as: 2-3 (ASU Politehnica Timișoara), 4-4 (Știința Miroslava), 4-3 (Luceafărul Oradea), 2-3 (Olimpia Satu Mare), 3-4 (UTA Arad) or 3-3 (Pandurii Târgu Jiu). The rumors were also relied on the poor financial situation of the team, with some outstanding salaries of almost a year, the big scandal born at Luceafărul Oradea after the match against Brăila, when the owner of the club retired, the coach suspected his players of being involved in the betting mafia and finally the club being close to implosion and also Dacia Unirea's matches started to disappear from the betting offer.

Kuehneosauridae
Kuehneosauridae is an extinct family of small, lizard-like gliding diapsids known from the Triassic period of Europe and North America. They are often, but not always, placed in the group Lepidosauromorpha. They were distinguished from other diapsids by their 'wings', which were really sails of skin held up by ribs. These sails would have served as gliding tools, but the kuehneosaurids were incapable of powered flight. They were most likely insectivorous, judging from their pin-like teeth. The oldest and most primitive known member is Pamelina from the Early Triassic (Olenekian stage) of Poland. Icarosaurus, which is known from a single specimen from Carnian-aged Lockatong Formation of New Jersey, is basal to more advanced kuehneosaurids. The Late Triassic (Norian stage) kuehneosaurids from England, Kuehneosaurus and Kuehneosuchus, are very similar and can be distinguished from one another primarily on the length of their "wing" ribs, relatively short and massive in Kuehneosaurus but longer and more gracile in Kuehneosuchus. Rhabdopelix may have been a kuehneosaurid; however, the fossils were lost, and the characteristics described are not entirely consistent with the other family members. The cladogram below follows a 2009 analysis by paleontologists Susan E. Evans and Magdalena Borsuk−Białynicka. The 2017 description of Avicranium, a toothless drepanosaur, involved a phylogenetic analysis which places kuehneosaurids inside Archosauromorpha rather than Lepidosauromorpha. Specifically, they were primarily found to be close relatives of Boreopricea and/or different allokotosaurs, depending on the constraints induced within the study.

Oder
The Oder (, ; Czech, Lower Sorbian and ; ) is a river in Central Europe and Poland's third-longest river after the Vistula and Warta. It rises in the Czech Republic and flows through western Poland, later forming of the border between Poland and Germany as part of the Oder–Neisse line. The river ultimately flows into the Szczecin Lagoon north of Szczecin and then into three branches (the Dziwna, Świna and Peene) that empty into the Bay of Pomerania of the Baltic Sea. Names The Oder is known by several names in different languages, but the modern ones are very similar: English and ; Czech, Polish, and , ; (); Medieval Latin: Od(d)era; Renaissance Latin: Viadrus (invented in 1534). Ptolemy knew the modern Oder as the Συήβος (Suebos; Latin Suevus), a name apparently derived from the Suebi, a Germanic people. While he also refers to an outlet in the area as the Οὐιαδούα Ouiadoua (or Οὐιλδούα Ouildoua; Latin Viadua or Vildua), this was apparently the modern Wieprza, as it was said to be a third of the distance between the Suebos and Vistula. The name Suebos may be preserved in the modern name of the Świna river (German Swine), an outlet from the Szczecin Lagoon to the Baltic. In the Old Church Slavonic language, the name of the river is Vjodr. Geography The Oder is long: in the Czech Republic, in Poland (including on the border between Germany and Poland) and is the third longest river located within Poland (after the Vistula and Warta), however, second longest river overall taking into account its total length, including parts in neighbouring countries. It drains a basin of , of which are in Poland (89%), in the Czech Republic (6%), and in Germany (5%). Channels connect it to the Havel, Spree, Vistula system and Kłodnica. It flows through Silesian, Opole, Lower Silesian, Lubusz, and West Pomeranian voivodeships of Poland and the states of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany. The main branch empties into the Szczecin Lagoon near Police, Poland. The Szczecin Lagoon is bordered on the north by the islands of Usedom (west) and Wolin (east). Between these two islands, there is only a narrow channel (Świna) going to the Bay of Pomerania, which forms a part of the Baltic Sea. The largest city on the Oder is Wrocław, in Lower Silesia. Navigation The Oder is navigable over a large part of its total length, as far upstream as the town of Koźle, where the river connects to the Gliwice Canal. The upstream part of the river is canalized and permits larger barges (up to CEMT Class IV) to navigate between the industrial sites around the Wrocław area. Further downstream the river is free flowing, passing the towns of Eisenhüttenstadt (where the Oder–Spree Canal connects the river to the Spree in Berlin) and Frankfurt upon Oder. Downstream of Frankfurt the river Warta forms a navigable connection with Poznań and Bydgoszcz for smaller vessels. At Hohensaaten the Oder–Havel Canal connects with the Berlin waterways again. Near its mouth the Oder reaches the city of Szczecin, a

Danny Whitaker
Daniel Phillip Whitaker (born 14 November 1980) is an English former professional footballer who is now a first-team coach at Macclesfield Town. He made 761 league and cup appearances in an 18-year career, scoring 124 goals. A former Manchester United Academy player, he turned professional with Macclesfield Town in 2001. He spent five years with the club, and made over 200 appearances in all competitions, before he switched to Port Vale in June 2006. He played over 100 games for the Vale in two seasons, before he signed for Oldham Athletic in June 2008. Again a first team regular, he left after two seasons to join Chesterfield in May 2010. He helped the club to the League Two title in 2010–11, and also won himself a place on the division's PFA Team of the Year. He also helped the club to the League Trophy title in 2012. He returned to Macclesfield Town in August 2013, and played in the club's defeat at the 2017 FA Trophy Final, before helping the club to win promotion back to the English Football League as champions of the National League. He was appointed as the club's caretaker-manager in November 2018, before announcing his retirement in July 2019. He again stepped up to become caretaker-manager at Macclesfield in August 2019 and January 2020. Career Macclesfield Town Whitaker was a Manchester United junior, though he switched Moss Lane for Moss Rose, signing with Macclesfield Town. He scored on his Football League debut; during a 2–1 home defeat to Exeter City on 2 February 2002. He went on to make another 15 Third Division appearances that season, earning a fresh contract upon the season's end. A regular in the 2002–03 season, he scored a hat-trick in the League Cup 4–1 triumph over Barnsley on 11 September. In most unusual fashion all three goals came in the second period of extra time. With ten goals before the winter break he was linked to both Oldham Athletic and Preston North End. However manager David Moss was highly dismissive of such speculation, saying: "Quite frankly, I am sick and tired of reading about players who have just signed two-year contracts but want to get away. Danny Whitaker will be going nowhere except Macclesfield reserves if he doesn't improve." The club insisted that Whitaker was too valuable a player to let go. This transfer talk came despite him having recently signed a contract to keep him with the "Silkmen" until June 2005. Rated as a star player before the start of the 2003–04 season, he had a rather quiet season with just six goals, going 22 games without a goal from November to the season's finish. He scored just four goals in the 2004–05 season, though manager Brian Horton was still keen to hold on to him, despite nine others being deemed unworthy of a new deal. Six goals in 45 appearances followed in 2005–06. However, despite having been established in the heart of the Macclesfield midfield for the past four years and winning the club's player of the year award, he was

Ugandan booby trap
Ugandan booby trap is the name given to a group of crimes first reported in late 2008 in Uganda. The victims were discovered by police to have been found stripped naked, with all their possessions taken. When discovered, they were not able to remember anything about the circumstances which led to their being in that position, other than "being in the act of romancing", elsewhere described as "intimate activity", with an attractive, busty lady that had met earlier at a bar. A spokesman for Uganda's Criminal Investigations Directorate, Fred Enanga, found that the women involved had smeared their chests with chloroform, and several other types of strong sedatives, Enanga also stated that he first became aware of the situation after a known thief, Juliana Mukasa, whom Enanga described as a "very dangerous lady", "made a clean breast of the matter". Enanga warned all men to be on the warned of this danger, particularly travelling businessmen who tend to carry more cash. He reported that while they did not know how they were acquiring the sedatives, they were looking for the source. He also reported that the group's early investigations indicated that the gang involved may have had dozens of members, although it was not known whether they were all female. The story attracted substantial international attention at the time, with it being reported in such locations as The Daily Telegraph, The Huffington Post, AsiaOne, and the National Public Radio program Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!.

List of Jeeves characters
The following is a list of recurring and notable fictional characters featured in the Jeeves novels and short stories by P. G. Wodehouse. Anatole Anatole is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves stories, being the supremely skilled French chef of Aunt Dahlia at her country house Brinkley Court. He is mentioned in many of the stories and is often praised as "God's gift to the gastric juices". A small, rotund man, Anatole has a large moustache; Bertie Wooster notes that the ends of Anatole's moustache turn up when he is happy and droop when he is upset. Originally from Provence, Anatole speaks English with a mixed fluency, having learned much of his English from Bingo Little and an American chauffeur from Brooklyn. Anatole previously worked for the Littles but entered Aunt Dahlia's employment in "Clustering Round Young Bingo". The only cook known to be able to make food that agrees with Tom Travers's digestion, he was relied on to such an extent that Tom Travers postponed a Mediterranean trip because Anatole was ill with influenza in "The Spot of Art". Anatole is described as being temperamental, to the point of nearly resigning in Right Ho, Jeeves when several people at the dinner table push his food away in bids to catch their loved ones' attention. Many characters esteem Anatole's cooking and try to hire him away from the Travers household, including Jane Snettisham ("The Love That Purifies"), Sir Watkyn Bassett (The Code of the Woosters), and Mrs. Trotter (Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit). In Much Obliged, Jeeves, Bertie comments that Anatole suffers from mal au foie (liver problems) and is apt to discuss the subject at length. Rosie M. Banks Rosie M. Banks is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves stories, being an author who writes romance novels. She also appears in Drones Club stories outside the Jeeves canon. She is married to Bingo Little. Madeline Bassett Madeline Bassett is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves stories. She is the daughter of Sir Watkyn Bassett and is a rather mushy, sentimental girl. Bertie Wooster is briefly engaged to her. Watkyn Bassett Sir Watkyn Bassett, CBE, is a fictional character who appears in two Jeeves novels. He is the father of Madeline Bassett, and the uncle and guardian of Stephanie "Stiffy" Byng. He wears a pince-nez, and is described as a small man who makes up for his height by wearing clothes that are striking in appearance, including a prismatic checked suit in The Code of the Woosters. In Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, he wears a striking dressing-grown. As Bertie states regarding Bassett, "He was a small man...you got the impression, seeing him, that when they were making magistrates there wasn't enough material left over when they came to him...and for some reason not easy to explain it nearly always happens that the smaller the ex-magistrate, the louder the dressing-grown. His was a bright purple number with yellow frogs, and I am not deceiving my public when I say that it smote me like a blow, rendering me speechless." When

Mignot Memorial Hospital
Mignot Memorial Hospital is the principal hospital in Alderney, Channel Islands. It is located in the northern part of St. Anne, and operates as part of the States of Guernsey Health and Social Services Department. The hospital was established in 2008 and has 22 beds, serving Alderney’s population of 2,300. 14 beds are used for continuing care; 8 of the beds are used for medical, post-operative, maternity or paediatric care. Layout The hospital complex was developed in two phases. In the first phase of construction, which replaced an old temporary structure built in 1960s, was the ward complex with 14 single rooms, two maternity wards and two examination rooms. This phase was completed in May 2007 and a formal inauguration was graced by The Princess Royal. The BBC gave coverage to the new hospital prior to its inauguration. Soon thereafter, the second phase which involved construction of five intensive care wards and outpatient services with an additional entrance was also completed in 2008. Modern equipment It has a modern X-ray unit. A diagnostic instrument manufactured and supplied by Siemens Health care to the hospital is the "MULTIX TOP analogue X-ray system". This radiographic system replaced an older version, which was in use in the hospital for 14 years. The new X-ray equipment has enhanced the capability of the hospital in radiography by providing superior quality of images and total manoeuvrability of the equipment. The advantage of this instrument is stated to be “the ergonomic design of the ceiling-mounted X-ray system, which enables radiographers to access patients from all sides of the table.” Services Residents of Guernsey, Alderney, Herm or Jethou paying Social Security contributions are covered by the Specialist Health Insurance Scheme and so may receive specialist care and treatment free of charge at the hospital. Patients from countries with a reciprocal health agreement with Guernsey are exempt from charges. Alderney residents may choose to be treated privately at the hospital. The hospital has two GPs and occasional visiting specialists who hold out-patient clinics, especially from the Princess Elizabeth Hospital in Guernsey which acts as a parent institution to the Mignot Memorial Hospital of Alderney. The hospital has a 24-hour accident and emergency clinic, a physiotherapy department and a small radiography unit. Women giving birth to children in Alderney are generally taken to Guernsey. Legal amendment Subsequent to the opening of the new hospital in Alderney, legal amendments have been issued with changes made in the rules existing since 1997. An Ordinance titled “the Health Service (Alderney Hospital Benefit) (Amendment) Ordinance, 2008” has been issued with modifications in “paragraph 3(a), for the definition of "the Alderney hospital contract", as inserted in section 39(1) of the Law of 1990 by the Ordinance of 1997” substituted by "the Alderney hospital contract" means any agreement, for the time being in force, for the provision of Alderney hospital benefit at the Mignot Memorial Hospital, Alderney, made between the States of Guernsey and a supplier of medical care services approved for the purposes by the States Health and Social Services Department;" with additional provisions related to nursing.

California State Route 26 (1937–1964)
State Route 26 (SR 26) was a state highway in Los Angeles and Orange counties in the U.S. state of California, from 1937 to 1964. It traveled from U.S. Route 101 Alternate (US 101 Alt.) in Santa Monica to SR 39 in Buena Park. The route was assigned pre-1964 Legislative Route 173 (LR 173), defined in 1933 from Santa Monica to East Los Angeles. Between Santa Monica and Los Angeles, it was later replaced by the Santa Monica Freeway, and added to the Interstate Highway System on September 15, 1955. East of East Los Angeles, it was assigned LR 166. The highway originally traveled along 10th Street in Los Angeles, but as Olympic Boulevard was built out to the west and east, it was aligned to that. East of Los Angeles, the highway turned southeast along the Anaheim Telegraph Road, which it followed into Santa Fe Springs. It then continued along Los Nietos Road, Valley View Avenue, and Stage Road before its terminus at La Habra Road (now Beach Boulevard). The portion east of Downtown Los Angeles was eventually deleted from the system as redundant to US 101 Byp. which later became Interstate 5 (I-5). The highway was known as State Route 6 from 1934 to 1937. The current SR 26 bears no relation to this highway.

Traditions and student activities at MIT
The traditions and student activities at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology encompass hundreds of student activities, organizations, and athletics that contribute to MIT's distinct culture. Traditions MIT has relatively few formal traditions, compared to many other universities, but has a rich culture of informal traditions and jargon. There are a few "big events" such as Commencement (graduation), but many smaller, decentralized activities sponsored by departments, labs, living groups, student activities, and ad hoc groups of MIT community members united by common interests. Brass Rat "Brass Rat" refers to the MIT class ring, which prominently features the school mascot beaver on the top surface. The ring is traditionally made of gold, the beaver is the largest North American rodent, hence "gold beaver" has informally become "Brass Rat" in student lingo. Tim the Beaver Tim the Beaver is the official mascot of MIT, appearing at athletic events, fundraisers, and other occasions. The name "Tim" is simply "MIT" spelled backwards. A beaver was selected as the MIT mascot because beavers are "nature's engineers"; this decision was made at the Technology Club of New York's annual dinner on January 17, 1914. President Richard Maclaurin proposed the beaver. The sports teams at MIT often choose to feature Tim as their mascot, and go by the name "The Engineers". Course numbering MIT students often refer to both their majors and classes using numbers alone. Majors are numbered in the approximate order of when the department was founded; for example, Civil and Environmental Engineering is Course I, while Nuclear Science & Engineering is Course XXII. Students majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), the most popular department, collectively identify themselves as "Course VI." MIT students use a combination of the department's Course number and a number assigned to the class to identify their subjects; the course which many universities would designate as "Physics 101" is, at MIT, "8.01." For brevity, course number designations are pronounced without the decimal point and by replacing "oh" for zero (unless zero is the last number). Thus, "8.01" is pronounced eight oh one, "2.009" is pronounced two double oh nine, and "5.60" would be pronounced five sixty. Smoots The "Smoot" is a traditional unit of measuring length on the Harvard Bridge, which despite its name, connects MIT to Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, across the Charles River. Recurring events Independent Activities Period (IAP) Independent Activities Period is a four-week-long inter-semester "term" offering hundreds of optional classes, lectures, demonstrations, and other activities throughout the month of January between the Fall and Spring terms. The final event is a half-day "Charm School" sponsored by the Student Activities Office. The first IAP was in 1971. East Campus Rush Immediately before the beginning of Fall term, during Orientation Week for new students, residents of East Campus dormitory construct large-scale temporary structures, such as a full-scale roller coaster, in the space between the parallel wings of the residence. These projects are large enough that the City of Cambridge requires detailed engineering drawings in advance, plus a letter from a licensed engineer certifying that the design conforms to the Massachusetts

Elsie Jury
Elsie McLeod Murray Jury (11 October 1910 – 31 March 1993) was a Canadian archaeologist and historian known for her pioneering work on the historical archaeology of Ontario, especially her work on the excavations at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. She played a role in establishing the Fanshawe Pioneer Village and Museum of Ontario Archaeology. She is buried in the First Lobo Baptist Cemetery, in Lobo, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada. Early life and education Mary Alice McLeod Murray, who went by the first name Elsie, was born in Perth, Ontario in 1910. Of Scottish and Irish descent, her father was David Cameron Murray (1873–1938), a doctor, and her mother was Lucy L. Robinson. The family later relocated from Perth to Toronto, where Elsie attended the Riverdale Collegiate Institute. She studied at the University of Toronto, obtaining an undergraduate degree in history and English in 1933, and Columbia University, graduating with an MA in history in 1935. Her Master's thesis was on the Scottish settlers of Perth County. Career After graduating from Columbia, Jury returned to Toronto to work for the Toronto Public Library, at the same time studying for a degree in library science from the University of Toronto, which she completed in 1938. In 1942 she moved to London, Ontario, to take a position at the library of the University of Western Ontario under Fred Landon, who she knew through the Ontario Historical Society. She met Wilfrid Jury in 1944. Wilfrid was an archaeologist who had previously worked with Landon to gain Western University's support in establishing the Museum of Indian Archaeology and Pioneer Life (now the Museum of Ontario Archaeology). He initially hired Elsie to conduct historical research relating to his excavations of the Fairfield Mission. The two married in 1948 and after returning from their honeymoon Elsie joined Wilfrid at his excavations of the Crawford prehistoric village in Lambton County, their first joint archaeological project. Thereafter the Jurys collaborated on almost all of their subsequent excavations. At Penetanguishene, Jury noted that hay for livestock was imported to the site by scow. At Sainte-Marie, she and her husband recognised the importance of the Catholic identity of the inhabitants to the interpretation of the site. Sites excavated Ste.

Sinclair QL
The Sinclair QL (for Quantum leap), is a personal computer launched by Sinclair Research in 1984, as an upper-end counterpart to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. The QL was aimed at the serious home user and professional and executive users markets from small to large businesses and higher educational establishments, but failed to achieve commercial success. Description Based on a Motorola 68008 processor clocked at 7.5 MHz, the QL included 128 KB of RAM, which was officially expandable to 640 KB and in practice, 896 KB. It could be connected to a monitor or TV for display. Two built-in Microdrive tape-loop cartridge drives provided mass storage, in place of the more expensive floppy disk drives found on similar systems of the era. Microdrives had been introduced for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in July 1983, although the QL used a different logical tape format. Interfaces included an expansion slot, ROM cartridge socket, dual RS-232 ports, proprietary QLAN local area network ports, dual joystick ports and an external Microdrive bus. Two video modes were available, 256×256 pixels with 8 RGB colours and per-pixel flashing, or 512×256 pixels with four colours: black, red, green and white. The supported colours could be stippled in 2×2 blocks to simulate up to 256 colours, an effect which did not copy reliably on a TV, especially over an RF connection. Both screen modes used a 32 KB framebuffer in main memory. The hardware was capable of switching between two different areas of memory for the frame buffer, thus allowing double buffering. However, this would have used 64 KB of the standard machine's 128 KB of RAM and there was no support for this feature in the QL's original firmware. The alternative and much improved operating system Minerva does provide full support for the second frame buffer. When connected to a normally-adjusted TV or monitor, the QL's video output would overscan horizontally. This was reputed to have been due to the timing constants in the ZX8301 chip being optimised for the flat-screen CRT display originally intended for the QL. Internally, the QL comprised the CPU, two ULAs, (ZX8301 and ZX8302) and an Intel 8049 microcontroller known as the IPC, or "Intelligent Peripheral Controller". The ZX8301 or "Master Chip" implemented the video display generator and also provided DRAM refresh. The ZX8302, or "Peripheral Chip", interfaced to the RS-232 ports (transmit only) Microdrives, QLAN ports, real-time clock and the 8049 via a synchronous serial link. The 8049 included at late stage in the QL's design, the ZX8302 originally being intended to perform its functions ran at 11 MHz and acted as a keyboard/joystick interface, RS-232 receive buffer and audio generator. QDOS, a pre-emptive multitasking operating system primarily designed by Tony Tebby, was included on ROM, as was an advanced structured BASIC interpreter, named SuperBASIC designed by Jan Jones, which was also used as the command-line interpreter. The QL was bundled with an office suite, consisting of a word processor, spreadsheet, database, and business graphics written by Psion. Physically, the QL was the same black colour as the preceding ZX81 and Sinclair ZX Spectrum

Volpi Cup for Best Actress
The Volpi Cup for Best Actress is an award presented by the Venice Film Festival. It is given by the festival jury in honor of an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance from the films in the competition slate. It is named in honor of Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata, the founder of the festival. The 1st ceremony was held in 1932, when Helen Hayes received the Best Actress award for the title role in The Sin of Madelon Claudet—this was the only time that the award was chosen by public voting. From 1942 to 1945, the festival was suspended because of World War II. The student strikes in May 1968 opened a period of institutional changes, with no prizes were awarded from 1969 to 1979. The official name of the award has changed several times. In 1934, Katharine Hepburn was honored with the Great Gold Medal of the National Fascist Association for Entertainment for the Best Actress for her role in Little Women. It was renamed the Volpi Cup for Best Actress the following year. The awards given from 1947 to 1949 were named the International Award for the Best Actress. The Best Actress Award resumed in 1983, when Darling Légitimus became the first black woman to receive the award for her work Sugar Cane Alley. In 1992, Ingrid Bergman was honored posthumously for her performance in Europe '51, which was denied by the jury in 1952 because her voice was dubbed from Swedish into Italian. The award can be for lead or supporting roles with the exception of the period, when the additional award for Best Supporting Actress was given from 1993 to 1995. At the age of four, Victoire Thivisol became the youngest recipient for the title role in Ponette in 1996. Since its inception, the award has been given to 67 actresses. Only three of them have won more than once: Shirley MacLaine, Isabelle Huppert and Valeria Golino, who have each won the cup twice. Bette Davis is the only actress to win for two different roles in the same year; she won in 1937 for her contribution in Marked Woman and Kid Galahad. In 1988, the award was shared by two actresses in different films: Huppert in Story of Women and MacLaine in Madame Sousatzka. There have been two films, She's Been Away in 1989 and La Cérémonie in 1995, that garnered multiple winners in one year. , Ariane Ascaride is the most recent winner in this category for her portrayal of Sylvie in Gloria Mundi. Winners Multiple winners 2 wins Shirley MacLaine – The Apartment (1960), Madame Sousatzka (1988) Isabelle Huppert – Story of Women (1988), La Cérémonie (1995) Valeria Golino – A Tale of Love (1986), Per amor vostro (2015) See also Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress Silver Bear for Best Actress Academy Award for Best Actress Notes References External links Volpi Cup winners since 1935 at Venice Biennale Category:Venice Film Festival Category:Italian film awards Category:Awards for actresses

Friend class
A friend class in C++ can access the private and protected members of the class in which it is declared as a friend. A significant use of a friend class is for a part of a data structure, represented by a class, to provide access to the main class representing that data structure. The friend class mechanism allows to extend the storage and access to the parts, while retaining proper encapsulation as seen by the users of the data structure. Example The following example demonstrates the use of a friend-class for a graph data structure, where the graph is represented by the main class Graph, and the graph's vertices are represented by the class Vertex. #include <iostream> #include <memory> #include <string> #include <unordered_set> class Graph; class Vertex { public: explicit Vertex(std::string name) : edges_(), name_(std::move(name)) {} auto begin() const { return edges_.cbegin(); } auto end() const { return edges_.cend(); } const auto& name() const { return name_; } private: // Vertex gives access-rights to Graph. friend class Graph; std::unordered_set<Vertex*> edges_; std::string name_; }; class Graph { public: ~Graph() { while (!vertices_.empty()) { auto vertex = vertices_.begin(); RemoveVertex(*vertex); } } auto AddVertex(const std::string& name) -> Vertex* { auto vertex = std::make_unique<Vertex>(name); auto iter = vertices_.insert(vertex.get()); return vertex.release(); } void RemoveVertex(Vertex* vertex) { vertices_.erase(vertex); delete vertex; } auto AddEdge(Vertex* from, Vertex* to) { // Graph can access Vertex's private fields because Vertex declared Graph as // a friend. from->edges_.insert(to); } auto begin() const { return vertices_.cbegin(); } auto end() const { return vertices_.cend(); } private: std::unordered_set<Vertex*> vertices_; }; Encapsulation A proper use of friend classes increases encapsulation, because it allows to extend the private access of a data-structure to its parts --- which the data-structure owns --- without allowing private access to any other external class. This way the data-structure stays protected against accidental attempts at breaking the invariants of the data-structure from outside. It is important to notice that a class cannot give itself access to another class's private part; that would break encapsulation. Rather, a class gives access to its own private parts to another class --- by declaring that class as a friend. In the graph example, Graph cannot declare itself a friend Vertex. Rather, Vertex declares Graph a friend, and so provides Graph an access to its private fields. The fact that a class chooses its own friends means that friendship is not symmetric in general. In the graph example, Vertex cannot access private fields of Graph, although Graph can access private fields of Vertex. Alternatives A similar, but not equivalent, language feature is given by C#'s internal keyword, which allows classes inside the same assembly to access the private parts of other classes. This corresponds to marking each class a friend of another in the same assembly; friend classes are more fine-grained. Programming languages which lack support for friend classes, or a similar language feature, will have to implement workarounds to achieve a safe part-based interface to a data-structure. Examples of such workarounds are: Make the parts' fields public. This solution decreases encapsulation by making it possible to violate

Comics Campaign Council
The Comics Campaign Council was a British pressure group formed in 1953 in response to growing concern about the effects of imported American horror comics such as The Vault of Horror and The Haunt of Fear on British youths. At the time, the comics industry was largely unregulated, a situation that the Comics Campaign Council sought to rectify. Prior to the formation of the CCC, the majority of political campaigning on the issue had been by front organisations of the Communist Party of Great Britain, who objected to the "thoroughly pernicious influence" of "American-style [...] that wallow in crime, horror, violence and sex". Such concerns were largely dismissed by the government; a memorandum issued by the Home Secretary, Gwilym Lloyd George described the overall effect of such comics as being "a matter of opinion rather than of fact". The CCC served to unify the disparate protest groups, gathering support among professionals such as doctors and teachers, issuing pamphlets, holding public meetings and submitting opinion pieces to various national news outlets. The campaign intensified in late 1954 and within a year, the resulting moral panic among the British populace reached a level not seen since the backlash against penny dreadfuls in the 19th century. Despite having ruled in 1952 that no legislation of such works was required, the changing tide of public opinion led the government to push through the Children and Young Persons (Harmful Publications) Act 1955. The Act banned the printing or sale of any publication which "consists wholly or mainly of stories told in pictures" that portrayed "(a) the commission of crimes; or (b) acts of violence or cruelty; or (c) incidents of a repulsive or horrible nature; in such a way that the work as a whole would tend to corrupt a child or young person into whose hands it might fall". Following the passing of the Act into law, the Council concerned itself mostly with "outing" specific comics as examples of morally corrupting work and pushing for prosecution of the publishers. While many such cases were referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions, the first actual prosecution under the terms of the Act did not take place until 1970. Martin Barker's 1984 book A Haunt of Fears is principally concerned with a critical account of the CCC. In it he examines the early campaigns of the Communist Party at the time, and its concerns with British cultural values, cultural imperialism and a McCarthyism it perceived as intrinsic to popular American culture, the involvement of the NUT which would come to overshadow the efforts of the CP, the subject as it appeared in news and the perception of other cultural events like the emergence of the Teds in British society, and an examination of exemplary samples of horror comics like The Orphan (or Lucy's Tale, as Barker refers to it). Barker's conclusion is to cast the perception of comics as a form of moral panic, in part attributed to the real impact of the Second World War, comparing their reception to controversial literary examples like Golding's Lord of the

Bukit Timah Expressway
The Bukit Timah Expressway (abbreviation: BKE) is a highway in Singapore that starts at the Pan Island Expressway in Bukit Timah and travels north to the Woodlands Checkpoint and the Johor–Singapore Causeway in Woodlands. History On 22 May 1982, tenders were called to build the expressway and construction began thereafter. Construction of the expressway began in 1983 and it was built in two stages, the first stage from Woodlands to Mandai Road and the second from Mandai Road to the Pan-Island Expressway. Due to the hilly nature of the Bukit Timah area the second stage of the expressway went through, explosives were used to clear the area for construction. During the construction, the new road, Bukit Panjang Road was opened from BKE all the way to Woodlands Road, and new interchanges at Mandai Road and Woodlands Road were also added as well. Kampong roads were demolished such as Jalan Kwok Min, Lorong Kingkit and Lorong Garpu. The small section of Jalan Kwok Min remains and Singapore Armed Forces took over the Jalan Kwok Min area since 1997. It was opened in December 1985. Before the Kranji Expressway was completed, BKE was the shortest expressway in Singapore, at about . This expressway is a six-lane dual carriageway, with three lanes on either side. In 2003, the LTA began work to convert a section of the expressway, from the intersection with the Kranji Expressway to that with the Seletar Expressway, into a four-lane dual carriageway. This was completed in mid-2005. Features The Bukit Timah Satellite Earth Station is located near the Chantek flyover. The huge fence of Kranji-Marsiling MRT tracks can be found along Woodlands Avenue 3.

Ababel Yeshaneh
Ababel Yeshaneh Birhane (born 22 July 1991) is an Ethiopian long-distance runner who competes in track, road and cross country events. She represented her country in the 10,000 metres at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics, coming ninth, and ranked fifth in the world on time that year. She was a team silver medallist at the African Cross Country Championships in 2014. On the roads she has a marathon best of 2:33:10 hours and was the 2011 winner of the Stramilano. On 21 February 2020, at the RAK Half-Marathon in the United Arab Emirates she set the new world record, clocking 1:04:31 for the distance. Career While running in Ethiopia, she joined the Ethiopian Defense Forces sports club. She began to compete outside of Ethiopia in 2011, starting with a win at the Vadodara Half Marathon in India. She followed this with a win at the Stramilano in a best of 69:54 minutes, then had a runner-up finish at the Nice Half Marathon a few weeks later. She made her marathon debut that year, placing sixth at the Turin Marathon with a time of 2:34:36 hours in November. She ran sparingly in 2012, though she did set a 5000 metres track best of 15:17.05 minutes. Ababel came third at the Milan Marathon in April 2013, setting a new best of 2:33:10 hours. However, it was on the track that she made her impact. At the Golden Spike Ostrava meeting she was part of the most competitive 10,000 metres race of the season and her time of 30:35.91 minutes for fourth eventually ranked her fifth in the world on time that year. The performances earned her a place on the Ethiopian team for the 2013 World Championships in Athletics, after world leader Meseret Defar decided to focus on the 5000 m. In the 10,000 m world final she was in the main pack until the halfway point before drifting back to ninth place overall on her international debut. Her first international medal came at the 2014 African Cross Country Championships. She finished sixth in the women's race which brought her a silver medal as part of the Ethiopian women's team led by Tadelech Bekele. After this she returned to the roads, coming fourth at the Portugal Half Marathon. At the start of 2015 she won the half marathon section of the Ooredoo Marathon in Doha.

Benjamin Greene
Benjamin Greene (5 April 1780 – 26 November 1860) was the founder of Greene King, one of the United Kingdom's largest brewing businesses. Career Born in Oundle and apprenticed at Whitbread, Benjamin Greene initially founded a brewing business in 1801 with John Clark in Bury St Edmunds. Then in 1806 he dissolved that partnership and established a new venture with William Buck at the Westgate Brewery. It was this venture that became Greene King. On the death of Sir Patrick Blake, 2nd Baronet he became the executor and, on the subsequent death of Sir Patrick's widow, the owner of some estates in the West Indies. He was a supporter of the arts and in 1819 lent £5,000 to William Wilkins to build the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds. He acquired the Bury and Suffolk Herald in 1828 and as proprietor took an ultra-conservative position opposing both the Reform Bill and the Slavery Abolition Bill. This position attracted much criticism and three libel actions. He left Bury St Edmunds in 1836 and established with his son, Benjamin Greene & Son, West India merchants and shipowners, at 11 Mincing Lane, London. He died at Russell Square in London in 1860 and is buried at Highgate Cemetery. Family He was married twice: first in 1803 to Mary Maling and then in 1805 to Catherine Smith with whom he went on to have seven sons and six daughters including: Benjamin Buck (1808 - 1902) of Midgham House in Berkshire, Governor of the Bank of England Mary (1812–1870) Edward (1815–1891), Conservative MP for Bury St Edmunds (1865-1885) and Stowmarket (1886–91); Took charge of running the brewery.

Premise As the ruler of the Unikingdom, Princess Unikitty has various misadventures in her land with her brother Prince Puppycorn, scientist Dr. Fox, bodyguard Hawkodile, and advisor Richard. They also deal with the threats of Master Frown from the neighboring Frown Town. Characters Main Princess Unikitty (voiced by Tara Strong) – The princess of the Unikingdom who is a cat/unicorn hybrid. She is very happy, playful, cute, and upbeat, but has an angry side that she sometimes struggles to control. She was previously voiced by Alison Brie in the original film. Prince Puppycorn (voiced by Grey DeLisle) – Unikitty's little brother, a pug/unicorn hybrid. He is sometimes clueless and dimwitted, but is also loyal and good-hearted. Dr. Fox (voiced by Kate Micucci) – A red fox who is the castle's resident scientist whose experiments and inventions can both create and resolve problems. Dr. Fox's Robots – Small robots that work for Dr. Fox. Hawkodile (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) – Unikitty's trusty hawk/crocodile hybrid bodyguard who has a "macho" personality and has a crush on Dr. Fox. He trained to be a fighter in the Action Forest. Brichard (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) – A grey 1x3 Lego brick who is Unikitty's royal advisor and the castle's property caretaker.

Oldtown, Maryland
Oldtown is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Allegany County, Maryland, United States, along the North Branch Potomac River. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 86. History It was founded in 18th century colonial times and was initially called "Opessa's Town" or "Shawanese Old Town" because it was the site of a Shawnee Amerindian village abandoned about a decade earlier. In later years the explanatory prefix was dropped from the name and the place because known simply as "Oldtown". Oldtown was begun (on a soon to be busy road) with the building of a trading post along an old Native American trail, the Nemacolin Trail, as traders, especially fur traders (and trappers) pushed through the Cumberland Narrows mountain pass into the Monongahela River valley. In 1741 Thomas Cresap established a trading post at the abandoned village. A few years earlier, Cresap had figured prominently in the Conejohela War, (also called Cresap's War) concerning the Conejohela Flats area of the Susquehanna River valley, later York County, Pennsylvania. Shortly after his release from prison in Pennsylvania for advocating Maryland's claims, Cresap moved west to the sparsely settled frontier. Lord Baltimore claimed lands at the headwaters of the Potomac River. The move positioned Cresap and his patron to open the as yet uncharted Ohio Country. Cresap and the Delaware chief Nemacolin opened a road westward under the auspices of the Virginia and Maryland speculators of the Ohio Company once they received a charter. Cresap's son Michael Cresap was born at Oldtown, the first white male born in Allegany County. A post office was established there on May 26, 1870. Oldtown is connected by a one-lane low-water toll bridge to Green Spring in Hampshire County, West Virginia. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal reached Cumberland, Maryland, from Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) in 1850, passing Oldtown at milepost 166.5. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, located just across the Potomac from Oldtown, had reached Cumberland eight years earlier. The canal finally closed operations as a carrier in 1924 due to flood damage. The B&O Railroad, now CSX, continues to be a major carrier, and it is used daily by Amtrak's Capitol Limited between Washington, DC and Chicago. The Western Maryland Railway was extended west from Big Pool, Maryland, to Cumberland as a Class-I railroad in 1906, with the mainline being constructed through Oldtown complete with a train station located at the lower end of town. Passenger service ended on the Western Maryland Railway between Cumberland and Hagerstown on May 30, 1953. Afterwards it was not uncommon for B&O passenger trains to be rerouted over the Western Maryland through Oldtown. The last scheduled WM trains through Oldtown occurred on May 12, 1975, for freight, and May 21, 1975, for a Chessie System Passenger Special. The line was officially abandoned as part of the "Chessie System" consolidation, and all WM trains began running on the nearby B&O. A Chessie System work train pulled up the rails through Oldtown in June 1976. In 1924 a six-classroom/auditorium brick school was erected along Main Street, with the first class

Sandy Grossman
Sanford Morton "Sandy" Grossman (June 12, 1935 – April 2, 2014) was an American sports television director. He directed television broadcasts of 10 Super Bowls, 18 NBA Finals, 5 Stanley Cup finals and Olympic hockey matches. He won eight Emmy Awards for his directing. He was born on June 12, 1935, in Newark, New Jersey. After graduating from Weequahic High School, he studied broadcasting at the University of Alabama, where he called football games for the school radio station. He graduated in 1957 and wanted to pursue a career in the communication industry, but believed he did not have the right voice to be a broadcaster. Grossman worked as an usher for the Ed Sullivan Theater for several years before obtaining employment at the local CBS station, Channel 2. In 1963, he became a production assistant for CBS Sports. He was the chief director of broadcasting NBA games during the early 1970s and soon became the main N.F.L. director. Grossmann innovated using music at the break of basketball games, and after he played The Hustle by Van McCoy, McCoy sent him a gold record in thanks of his promotion. Grossman began working alongside John Madden and Pat Summerall on CBS in 1981, and their partnership lasted 21 seasons. Madden insisted that Grossman and producer Bob Stenner watch coaches’ films of the NFL teams, which helped Grossman choose the best shots to pair with Madden's commentary. Madden credits him for being the first director to widen the camera shot to incorporate footage of outside linebackers. He created these broadcasts out of a production truck crammed with television monitors that formed a screen shot. During a Giants-Bengals game in 1991, Stenner and Grossman made 1,100 decisions about camera angles and the like. Summerall and Madden decided to move to Fox Sports after that network acquired broadcasting rights to NFL games in 1994, and Grossman followed suit. He retired in 2012. That year, the Elite Football League of India hired Grossman to teach its camera crews how to cover the American sport. “There were some guys who couldn’t follow the players,” he said. “I said, ‘Get the kicker,’ and some of them didn’t know where to find him.”. Grossman died on April 2, 2014 in Boca Raton, Florida. The stated cause of death was cancer. He was survived by his wife, Faithe; sons Bobby and Dean; daughters, Jodi Grossman Rose and Bari Grossman Rosenholtz; and eight grandchildren; Alexa, Jordyn, Kaylie, Paige, Adam, Reese, Eliya, and Zachary. John Madden said about Grossman: “Sandy became like a defensive coordinator, the way he looked at stuff. If they go slot, if they bunch their receivers on one side and they break off — he had a plan for everything, and when it happens, boom, boom, boom, you’re right there. Sandy took the knowledge he got from the film and transferred it to the cameramen, who carried it over to the game.” References External links Category:American directors Category:1935 births Category:2014 deaths Category:People from Newark, New Jersey Category:University of Alabama alumni Category:Weequahic High School alumni

C. W. Deen House
The C. W. Deen House, at 413 N. Main St. in Baxley in Appling County, Georgia, was built during 1894–1897. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is a two-and-a-half-story Queen Anne-style house. It has a "four-over-four room with central stairhall plan" plus a one-story ell at the back for a kitchen. It has a wraparound one-story porch on its front, one side, and rear, and a second-story balcony on the front. Part of its significance is for its association with C.W. Deen, "the leading landowner and businessman in Appling County in the early years of the twentieth century" and "a major naval stores operator at a time when south Georgia led the world as a producer of naval stores". It is also significant as a center of social life in Baxley when W. Hughes Rogers and his wife Carrie Rogers, co-founder of the Baxley Women's Club, lived there.
