Geoffrey Sisk (March 11, 1965) is an American professional golfer. Sisk had a sterling amateur career at Temple University, earning All-American honors and winning eight tournaments, a Temple record. He had difficulties getting on to the PGA Tour, however, with repeated failures at PGA Tour Qualifying school. In the interim, he played local events in New England with incredible success, ultimately winning the Massachusetts Open six times. Sisk finally earned PGA Tour memberships before the 1999 season but did not have much success. For most of the remainder of his career, Sisk played on the local minitours, especially the New England Pro Golf Tour, with much success, winning over a dozen tournaments. |
Sisk was born in Arlington, Massachusetts. He grew up in Billerica, Massachusetts. Around the age of 15, however, his family moved to Marshfield, Massachusetts. Sisk attended Marshfield High School. In his early teens, he won the Marshfield Country Club junior championship. As a sophomore at Marshfield High, he earned the top spot on his high school's golf team. He also finished in fourth place at the Massachusetts State Junior Championship. Late in the academic year, Sisk first received notable media coverage in "The Boston Globe". The newspaper referred to him as part of the 1981 Golf All-Scholastics team. |
In the summer of 1982, Sisk's play at the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) Intermediate Tournament was reported by "The Boston Globe". Sisk won the CYO defeating Ted Wheeler in the finals 3 & 2. During his senior year, Sisk maintained top-notch play for Marshfield High School. "He has been around par or under par all year," his coach Dennis Zicko said. Late in the academic year, Sisk played the Cape Area sectional title at Pocasset Golf Club in Bourne, Massachusetts. Sisk won the event, scoring four birdies against three bogeys, finishing with a one-under-par 71. |
In the spring of 1983, Sisk was recruited to attend Temple University on a "partial golf scholarship." It was the only college to offer him an athletic scholarship. In the fall of 1983, Sisk began attending Temple University. During the academic year, he won the Big 5 Invitational, his first win college win. In March 1984, Sisk received media attention for his play at the Iron Duke Classic. At the elite event, he finished in joint second place among individuals, one shot behind champion Webb Heintzelman. |
In June 1985, Sisk was the low amateur at the Massachusetts Open. He again won the Commonwealth Cup for his achievements. In July 1985, he was joint medalist at the qualifying rounds for the Massachusetts Amateur. As of November 1985, Sisk had won five college tournaments, including the ACC Tournament and two Big Five titles. In the fall of 1985, Sisk was selected to play in the Sun Bowl. During this era, Sisk was the "No. 1 man" for Temple University's golf team. |
In 1986, however, according to the "The Boston Globe", Sisk's season was only "so-so." "My game was just deteriorating," Sisk later said. "I couldn't understand it was happening to my game. It was frustrating." Sisk did record a few highlights during this era though. In April 1986, Sisk won the individual portion of the Navy Invitational and led his team to a second-place finish. In May 1986, Sisk earned an invitation to the NCAA Division I Golf Championships. |
In the late 1980s, Sisk continued to have success at local New England amateur events. In 1988, Sisk won the John Cronin Memorial Four-ball with partner Mark Greenhaigh. Later in the spring, he was low amateur at the Massachusetts Open again. In the summer of 1988, Sisk recorded "a grueling one-stroke victory" at the Rockland Open. A few days later he attempted to qualify for the U.S. Amateur. In final round, he shot a "spectacular" 69 to earn medalist honors and qualify for the event. Sisk ultimately qualified for the match play portion of the event. He reached the Round of 16 and received "national media attention" for his performance. In July 1989, Sisk shot a 69, the only under-par score, to earn medalist honors at the Massachusetts Amateur. The following month, he qualified for the U.S. Amateur again. During this era, Sisk was regarded as one of the top amateurs in the state by the Massachusetts Golf Association (MGA). |
Professional career. |
For the remainder of 1995 and much of 1996, however, Sisk struggled. He did not play the Florida minitours that winter but rather decided to focus on practice in an effort to improve his game. In the spring of 1996, Sisk started playing on the Nike Tour, the PGA Tour's developmental tour, once again. However, Sisk did not have full-time exempt status. Early in the season, Sisk played in six events and made the cut in four of them with one top-25. In May, Sisk attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open. However, he shot 148 at sectionals and missed qualifying by several shots. In June, he missed the cut at the Vermont Open. He told "The Boston Globe", "Honestly I've been struggling. It's frustrating." In June, Sisk attempted to defend his Massachusetts Open title. However, he was not in contention, finishing ten shots back at 215 (+2). |
In 2013, Sisk attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open again. Sisk's local qualifying was held at Pinehills Golf Club. Sisk was successful shooting a 68. Sectional qualifying was held at Purchase, New York. He "punche[d] his seventh ticket" to the tournament with rounds of 67 and 69 to earn joint medalist honors. It was also the sixth time Sisk had earned entry in the event through both local and sectional qualifying. Sisk earned much media attention for this achievement. Doug Ferguson of the "Associated Press" wrote a profile of Sisk that was widely published across the United States. Michael Whitmer of "The Boston Globe" wrote a full-length article about Sisk in preparation for the event. Joe Juliano of the "The Philadelphia Inquirer" also wrote a full-length profile about Sisk. Due to his success at getting into the U.S. Open, he was later referred to by the "The Times and Democrat" as "the master of USGA qualifiers." |
Late in his regular career, Sisk had much success at local events in New England, recording a number of first- and second-place finishes. In late July 2013, he played the New Hampshire Open. Sisk opened with a seven-under-par 65 to take the solo lead. He ultimately finished in a tie for second place. Days later, Sisk began play at the Maine Open. He was considered "[a]rguably the most accomplished player in the field." Sisk again finished joint second. He earned $6,250. The following week, Sisk once more finished in joint second, this time at the Manchester Open. In September, he finished solo second at the New England Open. In late July 2014, Sisk began play at the New Hampshire Open. Sisk opened with a 67 (−5) but was well behind leader Chris Wellde. However, during the 36-hole finale, he shot rounds of 66 and 67 to tie David Chung at the end of regulation. Sisk then won it on the third playoff hole. |
As of 1997, Sisk is married to Denise, an attorney. She was expecting their first child in late November. In August 2001, Sisk's wife had their second daughter. |

Hans Diehl (1946 – 2 August 2023) was an American physician and Seventh-day Adventist, best known for his advocacy of lifestyle medicine and whole food plant-based nutrition. He was the founder of the Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP). |
Diehl was born in Germany. He credited his early interest in healthy lifestyle to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was inspired by the research of Denis Burkitt and Nathan Pritikin who he had met and worked with. Diehl was a research and education director at the Pritikin Longevity Center. He was concerned that Pritikin's program was only available for those who could afford it so in 1988 he founded the Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP), a comprehensive lifestyle intervention that advocates a whole-food plant-based diet and incorporates the importance of exercise, kindness and sleep. The CHIP program emphasizes a diet low in cholesterol, fat, oil, processed sugar and salt. It is abundant in fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains with limited nuts and seeds. Diehl stated that CHIP is not "ideologically structured as a vegetarian or vegan program" but based on lifestyle changes. CHIP was later renamed Pivio Health. |
Diehl obtained a Master of Public Health and Doctor of Health Science from Loma Linda University in 1975. He was a professor of preventative medicine at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. Diehl established the Lifestyle Medicine Institute in Loma Linda, California which enhanced knowledge of the role lifestyle plays in health. The Lifestyle Medicine Institute promotes The Optimal Diet, a whole-food plant-based diet that is described as "almost devoid of overly processed and refined products". |
He was a speaker at the 35th World Vegetarian Congress in 2002. In 2015, Diehl was inducted in the North American Vegetarian Society's Vegan Hall of Fame. His books have been translated into 36 languages and over two million copies sold. |
Diehl died from an AFib-related stroke at Loma Linda University Medical Center on 2 August 2023, aged 77. |
Diehl was a lifelong Seventh-day Adventist. He became a lacto-ovo vegetarian in 1967. He adopted a whole-food plant-based diet in 1997. He was married to Lily Pan Diehl a pianist and singer, they had two children. |

Charles Burckhalter (January 5, 1849 – September 20, 1923) was an American educator and amateur astronomer. He was the first director of the Chabot Observatory and a popular astronomy teacher. |
Burckhalter was born on January 5, 1849, in Taylorsville, Ohio. the son of Adam and Elisabeth Burckhalter. He graduated Ottumwa High School in 1866. In 1877 he moved to California and became an insurance adjuster in the San Francisco–Oakland region. The following year he was married to Mary Catherine Nash. They would have five children: Mary, Frank, Charles, Edward, and Robert. Burckhalter developed a strong interest in astronomy, and by 1880 he owned a telescope. Three years later he had constructed his own reflector. In 1885, Burckhalter was hired to teach geography and astronomy at the Oakland High School. He became director of the Chabot Observatory in 1887, which was located in central Oakland and owned by the City Board of Education. |
Burckhalter organized and led an expedition of the Pacific Coast Amateur Photographic Association to photograph the Solar eclipse of January 1, 1889. The group gathered at Cloverdale, California with a total of 75 participants and thirty cameras. This assembly of amateur and professional astronomers led to the founding of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP). It was organized on February 7, 1889, with Burckhalter serving as one of the secretaries. He would later serve as president of this society, in 1895–96 and 1908–09, and would retain an active interest in the association for the remainder of his life. |
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society on February 12, 1892. Burckhalter joined the Lick Observatory eclipse expedition to observe the solar eclipse of August 9, 1896. He led the ASP expedition to India for the solar eclipse of January 22, 1898. He was also able to observe the solar eclipse of May 28, 1900 that crossed the eastern United States. In 1906 he was a member of the board of directors for the newly founded Seismological Society of America. He was able to relocate the Chabot Observatory to Leona Heights in east Oakland in 1915. Burckhalter managed to arrange for a equatorial telescope to be added to the observatory. |
Because of ill health, during May 1923 Burckhalter resigned from his post as head of the Department of Astronomy for the Oakland schools. He died on September 20, 1923, at his home in east Oakland. Earle G. Linsley from Mills College was chosen to be his successor as director of Chabot Observatory. At the age of 71, Burckhalter's wife died January 23, 1930, while still living in Oakland. |
In 1924, the 20-inch telescope at Chabot Observatory was dedicated to the memory of Charles Burckhalter, with a plaque mounted on the telescope pier. The minor planet 3447 Burckhalter was named after him, as was the Charles Burckhalter elementary school, Burckhalter park, and Burckhalter avenue in Oakland. |
Outline of Kazak military history |
The following is a topical outline of English Wikipedia articles about Kazak military history. It includes the military events, individuals, and topics involving the contemporary Republic of Kazakhstan and its predecessor states. The topics are outlined chronologically. |
Military operations history. |
Desht-i-Kipchak (1025-1241). |
By the 11th and 12th centuries, the nomadic confederacy of the Cumans and (Eastern) Kipchaks (who were a distinct tribe with whom the Cumans created a confederacy, although other sources say that Cumans and Kipchak are simply different names for the same tribe ) were the dominant force over the vast territories stretching from present-day Kazakhstan, southern Russia, Ukraine, to southern Moldavia and eastern Wallachia in present-day Romania. Considering the nomadic way of life of these peoples, these frontiers can be regarded only as approximate; |
Golden Horde (1242-1428). |
Golden Horde-the mongolian ulus, which became independent in the course of history and was later Turkicized |
Kazakh Khanate (1465—1847). |
Kazakh Khanate was established by Janibek Khan and Kerei Khan in 1465. From 16th to 17th century, the Kazakh Khanate ruled and expanded its territories to eastern Cumania (modern-day West Kazakhstan), to most of Uzbekistan, Karakalpakstan and the Syr Darya river with military confrontation as far as Astrakhan and Khorasan Province. The Khanate was later weakened by a series of Oirat and Dzungar invasions. These resulted in a decline and further disintegration into three Juzes, which gradually lost their sovereignty and were incorporated to the expanding Russian Empire in the 19th century. |
Alash-orda (1917-1920). |
After almost a century of Russian colonialism and policies of Russification, many Kazakhs began to openly support measures against the Russian state. In the 1870s and 80s, access to education was increasingly assured with the opening of schools and other educational institutions. Many of the future higher-up members of the Alash party were pupils during this period of time. |
In 1919, when the White forces were losing, the Alash Autonomous government began negotiations with the Bolsheviks. By 1920, the Bolsheviks had defeated the White Russian forces in the region and occupied Kazakhstan. On 17 August 1920, the Soviet government established the Kirghiz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which in 1925 changed its name to Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic, and finally to Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic in 1936. |

Raymond J. Walsh (March 18, 1916 – August 6, 1998) was an American football executive. He served as the general manager for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL) from 1947 to 1973 and remained with the team through 1993. |
Walsh was born on March 18, 1916, in New York City. He attended Fordham Preparatory School in The Bronx, New York, before attending Fordham University. At Fordham, he played tennis and was the school's No. 1 singles player for three years. He went undefeated in doubles play as a junior and senior and was known as a "fierce competitor"; according to the Fordham website, "Walsh liked to run around using his backhand and possessed a swooping forehand described by contemporaries as 'murderous'". |
Walsh graduated from Fordham "magna cum laude" in 1937. He later attended the Fordham University School of Law where he graduated in 1942, and remained active in tennis affairs, including helping found the school tennis club where he was a member in the 1950s and 1960s. He was a multi-time tennis champion of White Plains, New York, in the 1950s. He was inducted into the Fordham Rams Hall of Fame in 1990. |
After having worked for a time in the insurance field, Walsh joined the New York Giants, owned by a friend of his at Fordham in Wellington Mara, in 1947. He officially held the position of general manager, but acted more as a scout and advisor to Mara, who performed most of the work the position usually encompassed. Walsh still served as the manager of much of the team's business affairs, and also helped run the team's radio and television operations. He ultimately served in the position for 27 seasons – from 1947 to 1973 – and helped the team compile a regular season record of 180–158–12, which included seven playoff appearances, six conference title appearances and a league championship in 1956. |
Walsh was removed as general manager and replaced by Andy Robustelli in 1974, but remained with the team as vice president and secretary. He negotiated the team's move to Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in 1976. He stayed with the Giants through 1993 before announcing his retirement; he helped them win the Super Bowls for the 1986 and 1990 seasons. |
Personal life and death. |
Walsh was married and had four children. He died on August 6, 1998, at the age of 82, in White Plains. |
