Reinaldo Antonio Stennett Porte (April 5, 1949 – May 18, 2021) was a Panamanian professional baseball second baseman, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1971–79) and San Francisco Giants (1980–81). He batted and threw right-handed. A World Series champion with the Pirates in 1979, Stennett is one of two players to collect seven hits in a nine-inning game, which he did in a 22–0 victory over the Chicago Cubs, in 1975. Stennett was also a member of the first all-Black and Latino starting lineup in big league history. ==Early life== Stennett was born in Colón, Panama, on April 5, 1949. He was raised in the Panama Canal Zone and attended Paraiso High School, the same as Rod Carew. Stennett piqued the interest of the New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, and Houston Astros, who wanted him to continue his schooling in the United States and develop him into a pitcher. However, he rejected their overtures on the recommendation of his father. He was signed as an amateur free agent by the Pittsburgh Pirates on February 12, 1969. ==Career== Stennett played for four minor league teams in the Pirates' farm system from 1969 to 1971: the Class A Gastonia Pirates (1969), the Class A Salem Rebels (1970), the Triple-A Columbus Jets (1970), and the Triple-A Charleston Charlies (1971). He made his MLB debut on July 10, 1971, at the age of 20, leading off for the Pirates and going 0-for-4 against the Atlanta Braves. He collected his first major league hits a week later, going 2-for-4 against the San Diego Padres. On September 1, Pittsburgh faced the Phillies with the first major league all-Black and Latino starting lineup Stennett led off the game for the Pirates, who won 10–7. In his first three seasons with Pittsburgh, Stennett was used at shortstop and second base. He also played a solid defense at all three outfield positions, with an average arm and great reaction speed. He showed progress in 1973, when he hit 10 home runs and 55 RBIs in 128 games. Following the 1973 season, Pittsburgh traded incumbent second baseman Dave Cash to Philadelphia and gave Stennett the starting job. Batting from the leadoff spot, he responded with a .291 average, 84 runs, 56 RBI, and a career-high 196 hits. On September 16, 1975, Stennett became the only player in the 20th century to have seven hits in seven at bats in a nine- inning game, as Pittsburgh routed the Cubs, 22–0. Stennett's first hit in that game came off starter Rick Reuschel and his seventh was off Rick's brother Paul. Pittsburgh also set a major league record for the largest winning score in a shutout game in the modern era (later matched by the Cleveland Indians in 2004). He was the third player to collect seven hits in a single game, and the second to do it in a nine-inning game, equaling the record set by Wilbert Robinson of the 1892 Baltimore Orioles. With Stennett's position at second base secure in a lineup loaded with young hitters such as Dave Parker, Richie Zisk, and Rich Hebner and complemented by veterans Willie Stargell and Manny Sanguillén, Pittsburgh traded up-and-coming second baseman Willie Randolph to the New York Yankees after the 1975 season. On August 21, 1977, Stennett was batting .336 for the season, but he broke his right leg while sliding into second base in a game versus San Francisco. He was out for the year and had fewer than the required number of plate appearances (12), falling short of qualifying for the batting title, won by teammate Dave Parker (.338). In that season, Stennett collected a career-high 28 stolen bases. Stennett was part of the 1979 Pirates team that won the World Series. He singled in his only at-bat in the series, in which Phil Garner was the starter at second base for each game. Stennett signed a five-year, $1 million free agent contract with the San Francisco Giants on December 12, 1979."Giants Confirm Signing Stennett, May, Wohlford," United Press International (UPI), Wednesday, December 12, 1979. Retrieved October 19, 2022. However, the Giants would release Stennett in April 1982, with three years remaining and $2 million left on his contract. He hit a combined .242 with San Francisco. Not yet 31 years of age, Stennett would never again play in Major League Baseball. He played in the Mexican League in 1982 before finishing his professional career with 55 games for the Double-A Wichita Aeros in 1983. ==Later years== In August 2016, Stennett met with Brandon Crawford of the San Francisco Giants at Marlins Park, two days after Crawford's seven-hit game against the Miami Marlins. Crawford was the first major league player to collect seven hits in a game, although in extra innings, since Stennett. Stennett died on May 18, 2021, in Coconut Creek, Florida. He was 72, and suffered from cancer prior to his death. ==See also== *List of Major League Baseball single-game hits leaders ==References== ==External links== * *Rennie Stennett at SABR (Baseball BioProject) *Historia del Béisbol en Panamá *Box score of Stennett's 7-for-7 game Category:1949 births Category:2021 deaths Category:Águilas Cibaeñas players Category:Panamanian expatriate baseball players in the Dominican Republic Category:Broncos de Reynosa players Category:Charleston Charlies players Category:Columbus Jets players Category:Gastonia Pirates players Category:Gold Coast Suns (baseball) players Category:Major League Baseball players from Panama Category:Major League Baseball second basemen Category:Panamanian expatriate baseball players in Mexico Category:Panamanian expatriate baseball players in the United States Category:Sportspeople from Colón, Panama Category:Pittsburgh Pirates players Category:Salem Rebels (baseball) players Category:San Francisco Giants players Category:Wichita Aeros players

The I. G. Baker Company was a mercantile and grocery company based in Fort Benton, Montana, started by Isaac Gilbert Baker and his brother, George Amos Baker, as I. G. Baker & Brother in 1866.Klassen, Henry Cornelius. Eye on the future: business people in Calgary and the Bow Valley, 1870-1900. Calgary: Univ. Alberta Press, 2002." Ch 2 is about the Conrads & I. G. Baker & Co., but ch. 1 & 3 are also pertinent. After the Conrad brothers (Charles E. & Wm. G.) were admitted as partners in 1873, the company name was changed to I. G. Baker & Co., which name was retained after the Conrads purchased George Baker’s interest in 1874. In 1891, the Canadian assets of the company were purchased by its chief rival there, the Hudson's Bay Company. The company was prominent in early Western Canadian history. It operated the first store established in Calgary, Alberta in 1875. There were also stores in Fort Macleod and Lethbridge, Alberta and in Fort Walsh, Saskatchewan. The I. G. Baker Company brought a herd of cattle from Montana to southern Alberta, the first livestock imported for what is now a significant industry in Alberta. ==References== Category:Fur trade Category:Economic history of Canada

Reality Checkpoint. The Washington Post. 2008-07-08. Page B01. To the north of Trinidad is the more industrial neighborhood of Ivy City. To the west is Gallaudet University and the Florida Market (D.C.'s wholesale food district, also called the Capital City Market or more recently Union Market). To the east lies Carver Langston. To the south of Trinidad is Old City, so named because it was part of Pierre L'Enfant's original plan for the city, and generally referred to as either Near Northeast or Capitol Hill North. Located immediately south of Trinidad is the H Street Corridor. The eastern portion of the H Street Corridor is sometimes referred to as the Atlas District, part of a neighborhood branding campaign centered on the revitalized Atlas Theater. ==History== The area got its name from 19th-century speculator James Barry, who had once lived on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. A street in the neighborhood bears the name of Trinidad Avenue NE. The land passed to and from the Corcoran family, who used it as a country estate, to Columbian College, which later became George Washington University, and then to the Washington Brick Machine Company. The brickworks intended to excavate clay from the land, but not needing all of the land, began selling off parcels, and, in the late 19th century, the first houses in southern Trinidad were built. The American League Park was located at the corner of Florida Ave NE and Trinidad Avenue NE from 1901 to 1904. It was home to the Washington SenatorsImage 59 of Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from Washington, District of Columbia, District of Columbia - 1904 ==Architecture== The first two blocks north of Florida Avenue feature classic Victorian rowhouses similar to those in nearby Capitol Hill. Further north, many of the row houses are built in a flat porch-fronted style (similar to craftsman style) that gained popularity during the 1920s. Northern portions of Trinidad were developed later, some parts as late as the 1940s. ==Education== Crummel Elementary School is located in Ivy City. ===Wheatley Education Campus=== Wheatley Education Campus is a public school that serves grades PK-8.

Divan-i Kabir (), also known as Divan-i Shams () and Divan-i Shams-i Tabrizi (), is a collection of poems written by the Persian poet and Sufi mystic Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī, also known as Rumi. A compilation of lyric poems written in the Persian language, it contains more than 40,000 versesForuzanfar, 1957. and over 3,000 ghazals.Foruzanfar (tran. Sorkhabi), 2012, p. 183. While following the long tradition of Sufi poetry as well as the traditional metrical conventions of ghazals, the poems in the Divan showcase Rumi’s unique, trance-like poetic style.Lewis, 2014, p. 704. Written in the aftermath of the disappearance of Rumi’s beloved spiritual teacher, Shams-i Tabrizi, the Divan is dedicated to Shams and contains many verses praising him and lamenting his disappearance.Gooch, 2017, pp. 133–134. Although not a didactic work, the Divan still explores deep philosophical themes, particularly those of love and longing.De Groot, 2011, p. 67. == Content == The Divan contains poems in several different Eastern-Islamic poetic styles (e.g. ghazals, elegies, quatrains, etc.). It contains 44,292 lines (according to Foruzanfar's edition,Foruzanfar, 1957. which is based on the oldest manuscripts available); 3,229 ghazals in fifty-five different metres (34,662);Foruzanfar (tran. Sorkhabi), 2012, p. 183. 44 tarji-bands (1,698 lines); and 1,983 quatrains (7,932 lines).Gamard. Although most of the poems are written in Persian, there are also some in Arabic, as well as some bilingual poems written in Turkish, Arabic, and Greek.Foruzanfar (tran. Sorkhabi), 2012, p. 182. == Form and style == Most of the poems in the Divan follow the form of a ghazal, a type of lyric poem often used to express themes of love and friendship as well as more mystical Sufi theological subjects.Boostani & Moghaddas, 2015, p. 77. By convention, poets writing ghazals often adopted poetic personas which they then invoked as pen names at the end of their poems, in what are called takhallos.Lewis, 2014, p. 435. Rumi signed off most of his own ghazals as either Khâmush (Silence) or Shams-i Tabrizi.Lewis, 2014, p. 436. Although he had belonged to a long tradition of Sufi poetry, Rumi developed his own unique style. Notably, due to the extemporaneous manner in which Rumi composed his poems, much of Rumi’s poetry has an ecstatic, almost trance-like style that differs from the works of other professional Islamic poets.Lewis, 2014, p. 704. Rumi evidently found the traditional metrical constraints of ghazals to be constraining, lamenting in one ghazal that fitting his poems into the traditional “dum-ta-ta-dum” ghazal metre was a process so dreadful that it nearly killed him.Lewis, 2014, p. 705. == Origins and history == thumb|225x225px| In 1244 C.E, Rumi, then a jurist and spiritual counselor working at the behest of the Seljuk Sultan of Rûm,Gooch, 2017, p. 81. met a wandering Persian Sufi dervish named Shams-i Tabrizi in Konya.Gooch, 2017, p. 84. Rumi, who previously had no background in poetics,Foruzanfar (tran. Sorkhabi), 2012, p. 176. quickly became attached to Shams, who acted as a spiritual teacher to Rumi and introduced him to music, sung poetry, and dance through Sufi samas.Gooch, 2017, p. 91. Shams abruptly left Konya in 1246 C.E,Gooch, 2017, p. 125. returned a year later,Gooch, 2017, p. 131. then vanished again in 1248 C.E,Gooch, 2017, pp. 145–146. possibly having been murdered.Gooch, 2017, p. 149. During Shams’ initial separation from Rumi, Rumi wrote poetic letters to Shams pleading for his return.Gooch, 2107, p. 111. Following Shams’ second disappearance, Rumi returned to writing poetry lauding Shams and lamenting his disappearance.Gooch, 2017, pp. 133–134. These poems would be collected after Rumi’s death by his students as the Divan-i Shams-i Tabrizi.Gooch, 2017, p. 141. The creation dates of some of the poems in the Divan are unknown.Lewis, 2014, p. 277. However, a major portion of the Divan’s poems were written in the initial aftermath of Sham’s second disappearance.Lewis, 2014, p. 277. Therefore, most of the poems probably date from around 1247 C.E. and the years that followed until Rumi had overcome his grief over the loss of Shams.Lewis, 2014, p. 277. Another seventy poems in the Divan were written after Rumi had confirmed that Shams was dead.Lewis, 2014, p. 277. Rumi dedicated these poems to his friend Salah al-Din Zarkub, who died in December 1258.Lewis, 2014, p. 277. By the sixteenth century, most editors organized the poems in the Divan by alphabetical order according to the last letter of each line, disregarding the varying meters and topics of the poems.Lewis, 2014, p. 394. This method for arranging lyrical poems in the Divan is still used in modern Iranian editions of the Divan.Lewis, 2014, p. 395. Turkish editions, however, follow the practice of the Mevlevi Order and group the poems by metre.Lewis, 2014, p. 395. The first printed copy of the Divan was made in Europe in 1838 by Vincenz von Rosenzweig-Schwannau, who printed seventy-five poems of dubious authenticity.Lewis, 2014, p. 400. Reynold A. Nicholson produced a more selective text of fifty ghazals from the Divan, although Badi al-Zaman Foruzanfar’s critical edition has since determined several of Nicholson’s selections to have been inauthentic.Lewis, 2014, p. 400. In 1957, Foruzanfar published a critical collection of the Divan’s poems based upon manuscripts written within a hundred years of Rumi’s death.Lewis, 2014, p. 402. == Themes == Although the Divan is, in contrast to Rumi's Masnavi, not a didactic work, it is still a deeply philosophical work, expressing Rumi’s mystical Sufi theology. Among the more prominent themes in the Divan are those of love and longing. Some Rumi scholars such as Rokus de Groot argue that Rumi rejects longing in favour of a divine unity, or tawhid, a concept which de Groot considers to originate in the Shahada's declaration that there is no other god save God.De Groot, 2011, p. 67. According to de Groot, Rumi holds that longing, being a lust to grasp something beyond oneself, necessarily creates a duality between subjects and objects.De Groot, 2011, p. 64. Thus, those drunk with love, as Rumi writes, are double, whereas those drunk with god are united as one.Rumi (tran. Nicholson), 1973, p. 47. De Groot maintains that Rumi’s philosophy of the oneness of love explains why Rumi signed about a third of the Divan under Shams-i Tabrizi’s name; By writing as if he and Shams were the same person, Rumi repudiated the longing that plagued him after Shams’ disappearance in favour of the unity of all beings found in divine love.De Groot, 2011, p. 83. In contrast, Mostafa Vaziri argues for a non-Islamic interpretation of Rumi. In Vaziri’s view, Rumi’s references to love compose a separate Mazhab-e ‘Ishq, or “Religion of Love,” which was universalist rather than uniquely Islamic in outlook.Vaziri, 2015, pp. 12–13. Vaziri posits that Rumi’s notion of love was a designation for the incorporeal reality of existence that lies outside of physical conception.Vaziri, 2015, p. 13. Thus, according to Vaziri, Rumi’s references to Shams in the Divan refer not to the person of Shams but to the all- encompassing universality of the love-reality.Vaziri, 2015, pp. 14. == Legacy == The Divan has influenced several poets and writers. American Transcendentalists such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman were acquainted with the Divan, and were inspired by its philosophical mysticism.Boostani & Moghaddas, 2015, pp. 79–80.

Tony Alva (born September 2, 1957) is an American skateboarder, entrepreneur, and musician. He was a pioneer of vertical skateboarding and one of the original members of the Zephyr Competition Skateboarding Team, also known as the Z-Boys. The Transworld Skateboarding Magazine ranked him eighth in its list of the "30 Most Influential skateboarders" of all time. ==Early life== Tony Alva was born September 2, 1957, in Santa Monica, California, to Dutch and Mexican-American parents. He first began surfing and skateboarding around 1967 at the age of 10. ==Career== Influenced by the new, aggressive surfing style happening on the Hawaiian Islands, Alva brought a radical new and powerful free form surf style to skateboarding. Alva's style was revolutionary and stood in stark contrast with the contrived traditional style of the era, which was still based around tricks formulated in the 1960s. His skill, style and charismatic nature led him to become a professionally sponsored skateboarder.Dogtown and Z-Boys. Written by Stacy Peralta and Craig Stecyk. Dir. Stacy Peralta. Perf. Sean Penn, Jay Adams, Tony Alva. Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment, 2003. DVD. In 1972, he joined the Zephyr Skateboard team along with Jay Adams and Stacy Peralta. Alva and the other Z-Boys (also all surfers), were among the first to bring the dangerous art of skating empty swimming pools into the mainstream. Alva is considered an originator of vertical skating and is credited as one of the first skateboarders to successfully pull a Frontside Air. That moment, captured on film by photographer Glen E. Friedman, is considered by many to be the birth of modern skateboarding. Alongside professional skaters Arto Saari, Brandon Biebel, Perry Caravello, and Stevie Williams, Alva completed a photo and video shoot for Playboy magazine, that was shot by Irish photographer Tony Kelly. The shoot is entitled "Playboy Poolside" and features the four subjects skateboarding in and around an empty swimming pool. ===Business ventures=== Alva started his long relationship working with Vans in 1974, helping to design the off-the-wall skateboard shoe, the original skate shoe. Alva's father had been buying Vans shoes for his kids since they were young. Vans was established in 1966 and was the shoe of choice for the Santa Monica youth culture. In 1977, at the age of 19, Alva shunned the major skate companies to form his own company, entitled Alva Skates. It was the first company run and owned by a skateboarder, as well as being one of the first to use layered Canadian maple plywood in skateboard decks. In December 2005, Alva opened two retail stores in Southern California located in Oceanside, near San Diego, and on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles. In December 2006, he celebrated the first anniversary of the stores with a party at the Los Angeles shop, which was attended by some of the old Z-Boys, current Alva Team members, MySpace friends, skate fans, and other minor celebrities. Alva signed autographs and served as the DJ for the catered event. The "bad boy" image of the Z-Boy was reiterated in the postcard invitation for the event, which featured a profane drawing. Alva pioneered the first Rip Grip product, a material that could stick onto the underside of a skateboarder's deck, making it easier to maintain grip. Alva signed a three-year deal with Vans shoes and his pro model high-top was released in 2006. ==Music== In the early 1980s, Alva played bass guitar for the "Skoundrelz", a Venice, California punk band. Three songs appeared on BCT's First Strike compilation released in 1983. Later, Alva was in an early line-up of sleaze rock band Junkyard. In 2007, he formed the band G.F.P. (General Fucking Principle) with Dead Fucking Last vocalist Tom Paul Davis (Crazy Tom), guitarist Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks, Bad Religion) and former Suicidal Tendencies drummer Amery Smith. In 2013, Alva began playing with Los Angeles rock band, His Eyes Have Fangs. In July 2023, His Eyes Have Fangs participated as a special musical guest at the Los Angeles art and music collective Surf Skate Roots Rock, reuniting with fellow skateboarding-artist pioneers such as Lance Mountain, Lonnie Toft, Mike Smith, Marty Grimes, George Wilson, Steve Olson, etc. ==Media appearances== Tony Alva is featured in the 2001 documentary on Santa Monica and Venice Beach skate culture Dogtown and Z-Boys, which was fictionalized into the 2005 feature film Lords of Dogtown. He also played the role of Tony Bluetile in the 1978 film Skateboard: The Movie. He also played 'T.A.', a member of the bad boy skaters in the 1986 film Thrashin' and served as skate technical advisor. Alva makes an appearance in the 2012 documentary Bones Brigade: An Autobiography, directed by Stacy Peralta. In 2012, Alva appeared on an episode of the A&E; reality series, Storage Wars to appraise a skateboard. Alva was featured in the 2005 skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. He is seen on the cover of the album The Action Is Go by stoner rock band Fu Manchu. Alva also featured in the 1978 documentary "Skateboard Kings" produced by director Horace Ové. ==Awards== 1975 USSA World Invitational Skateboard Champion. Alva was voted "Skateboarder of the Year" in Skateboarder Magazine's readers poll and he set the Guinness World Record for barrel jumping. ==Bibliography== * * * ==References== ==External links== * * Alva Skates website * Category:1957 births Category:American skateboarders Category:Living people Category:Sportspeople from Santa Monica, California Category:American sportspeople of Mexican descent

Jay J. Adams (February 3, 1961 – August 15, 2014) was an American skateboarder who, as a teen, was the youngest member of the Zephyr Competition Skateboarding Team (Z-Boys). His spontaneous freestyle skateboarding style, inspired by ocean surfing, helped innovate and popularize modern skateboarding. His aggressive vertical tricks make him one of skateboarding's most influential stylists. Adams died of a heart attack on August 15, 2014.Dougherty, Conor (August 17, 2014) "Jay Adams, Who Revolutionized Skateboarding, Dies at 53," The New York Times. Retrieved on June 3, 2016. ==Early life== Jay Adams was born in Venice, California. He was the only child of Robert Adams and Philaine Herring, and grew up with his mother and his stepfather, Kent Sherwood. He began skating and surfing at the age of four.Fitzgerald, Heidi (February 1, 2000) "Jay Adams," Juice Magazine. Retrieved on June 9, 2016. Sherwood worked at Dave Sweet's Surf Shop under Pacific Ocean Park, where Adams was introduced to skateboarding. Adams' skateboarding was greatly influenced by Larry Bertlemann, a professional surfer known for dragging his hands along the waves as he rode them. In 1974 at age 13, Adams became the youngest member to join the Santa Monica-based Zephyr surf team representing Jeff Ho Surfboards and Zephyr Productions. Fellow Z-Boy Tony Alva said of Adams, "Some kids are born and raised on graham crackers and milk; he was born and raised on surfing and skateboarding."Dogtown and Z-Boys. Written by Stacy Peralta and Craig Stecyk. Dir. Stacy Peralta. Perf. Sean Penn, Jay Adams, Tony Alva. Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment, 2003. DVD. ==Career== The Z-Boys became a skate team when they heard about the Bahne-Cadillac Del Mar Nationals in 1975. Adams was the first member to enter the competition, held in Del Mar, California, taking second place in the Junior Men's Freestyle. His explosive energy and low, bold, surf-like moves characterized the style of the Z-Boys and contrasted with the traditional style of the era, which was still based around gymnastic- style tricks formulated in the 1960s. Adams' ability to turn near-disasters into never-before-seen feats of style and agility was termed "an athletic stream-of-consciousness" by the 2001 documentary about the team, Dogtown and Z-Boys. Much of Adams' and the rest of the Zephyr team's fame is due to photo- journalist and writer Craig Stecyk's "Dogtown Chronicles" in the 1975 relaunch of Skateboarder Magazine. The series of magazine articles chronicled the adventures of the Z-Boys, who rode empty swimming pools in Southern California over a two-year period, laying the foundation for vertical skateboarding.Rosenfeld, David (August 21, 2013) "Jay Adams: The long ride of a Z-Boy," Westside People. Retrieved on June 9, 2016. The international reach of Stecyk's Dogtown articles and skateboard-industry sponsorship led to skateboarding becoming a viable profession. By age 15, Adams was one of the first skateboarders shown "catching air" (time spent in the air after launching) above the edge of a swimming pool.Bane, Colin (August 16, 2014) "Skateboarding pioneer Jay Adams dies in Mexico," XGames, Austin, ESPN. Retrieved on June 3, 2016. The Zephyr team broke up shortly after the Del Mar Nationals. Half the team formed a new team under Adams' stepfather Kent Sherwood, who made the Zephyr boards. Sherwood and Adams created the brand and team EZ-RYDER, which changed its name to Z-Flex six months later. Adams was the face of the brand. During his skateboarding career, Adams was sponsored by Hurley, Nixon, Osiris Shoes, Z-Flex, Tracker Trucks, Vercelli Surfboards, Carver Racks, Abec 11 wheels and Black Flys. Along with Jef Hartsel, Adams would go on to revive EZ-RYDER as EZ Ryder Originalz, custom designing and testing their handcrafted equipment. He collaborated with Z-Flex, designing boards in the Z-Flex range, most notably the Z-Flex Jay Adams Cruiser Skateboard. According to former Z-Boys teammate Stacy Peralta, Adams "is probably not the greatest skater of all time, but I can say without fear of being wrong that he is clearly the archetype of modern-day skateboarding." Adams was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame in 2012. ==Films== Adams is featured prominently in the 2001 Peralta-directed documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys. Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan noted his contribution to the film: "Dogtown is at its dramatic best with mini-profiles of its two biggest names, Adams and Tony Alva. The Adams segment especially, which shows the most naturally gifted of the Z-Boys regretful about the bad choices he made in his life, provides the kind of thoughtful introspection this film could have used a lot more of."Gettell, Oliver (August 15, 2014) "Jay Adams dies: Examining the legacy of 'Dogtown and Z-Boys,'" Los Angeles Times. Retrieved on June 2, 2016. The documentary won awards at Sundance and an Independent Spirit Award. Adams was portrayed by Emile Hirsch in the 2005 dramatized feature-film account of the Z-Boys origins, Lords of Dogtown, written by Peralta and directed by Catherine Hardwicke. He was also featured in Joshua Pomer's 2010 surf documentary The Westsiders.The Westsiders with Jay Adams, Westsiders Movie Channel, YouTube (November 19, 2010) Retrieved on June 2, 2016. ==Personal life== ===Legal troubles & personal struggles=== Adams spent time in prisons as he struggled with drug addiction.Edelstein, David, "A Lord of Dogtown Reemerges". The New York Times. July 30, 2008, accessed November 11, 2008. After a Suicidal Tendencies concert in 1982, Adams screamed slurs at a gay couple outside a popular Hollywood hangout. When one of them yelled back, he knocked him down. Adams claims he fled but that the crowd behind him closed in and kicked and beat the men, killing one of them. He was convicted of felony assault and sentenced to six months in relation to the death of Dan Bradbury. In the late 1990s, after the murder of his brother, and the death of his mother, father, and grandmother all in the same year, he began using heroin. He was serving two-and-a-half years on drug charges in Hawaii during the production of Dogtown and Z-Boys and was released in 2002. The movie brought Adams back into the limelight and led to endorsement deals for him. As of 2005, Adams claimed to be drug-free and spoke to children at local schools about his past struggles. Nonetheless, in November 2005, he was arrested and sentenced to four years, after being caught on a wiretap acting as a go-between for a buyer and seller of crystal methamphetamine. He was released to a halfway house on July 8, 2008, for the remainder of his sentence. He completed his probation in January 2014. ===Family=== Adams' first wife was Alisha Adams, with whom he had a daughter, Venice. He also has a son, Seven, with ex-girlfriend Samantha Baglioni. Adams married Tracy Adams in 2011. They most recently resided in San Clemente, California, where Adams was an active member at a local church. ==Death== Adams died of a heart attack on August 15, 2014. A memorial funeral service was held in honor of Adams at Venice Beach, California, on August 30, 2014. Surfers and skateboarders from across the country showed their respect by taking part in a traditional Hawaiian-style paddle-out tribute. A memorial skate session was held for Adams at the Venice Beach Skatepark by fellow skateboarders Tony Alva and Christian Hosoi. Two Venice-area murals have commemorated Adams. One is on the building site of the original Zephyr Skate Shop in Santa Monica.Glettner, Eva (October 22, 2014) "Street Art Spotter: Dogtown Legend Jay Adams Lives on in Venice," Los Angeles Magazine.

thumb|Portrait by Thomas Beach c.1786 Roger Kemble (1 March 1721 – 6 December 1802) was an English theatre manager, strolling player and actor. In 1753, he married Irish actress Sarah "Sally" Ward (1735–1806) at Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and they had thirteen children, who formed the Kemble family of 19th-century actors and actresses. ==Biography== Roger Kemble was born in Hereford, a grand-nephew of Fr John Kemble, a recusant priest, who was hanged in that city in 1679. Kemble first entered the theatre by joining Smith's company at Canterbury in 1752. Whilst he was there it was agreed that he would marry Fanny Furnival and although she appeared as "Mrs Kemble" it is thought that they never married. Furnival and Kemble then moved to Birmingham under the management of John Ward, whose daughter Kemble would eventually marry. Upon Ward's retirement, Roger took on his first management position by taking over the management of the theatre at Leominster in 1766. He formed a traveling theatrical company soon after his marriage to Sarah Ward, and subsequently she and their children toured with the company for the next fifteen years. Five of Kemble's children and many of his grandchildren became famous actors. The oldest of their twelve children, Sarah Siddons, became the most famous. She first appeared as Ariel in The Tempest with her father's company in Coventry in 1766. In 1767 the actor William Siddons joined the company whom Sarah married in 1773, returning to the stage as Mrs. Siddons. As primarily a theatre manager, Roger Kemble never became as famous as his children, although he scored a success at London's Haymarket Theatre where in 1788 he appeared as Falstaff in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1 and in the Miller of Mansfield. ==Legacy== There is a plaque commemorating Kemble's Hereford birthplace at 28-29 Church Street and Kemble Road in London's Forest Hill is named after him. ==Notes== == References == * Philip H.

Beat Richner (13 March 1947 – 9 September 2018) was a Swiss pediatrician, cellist and founder of children's hospitals in Cambodia. He created the Kantha Bopha Foundation in Zurich in 1992 and became its head. Along with another expatriate, he oversaw and ran the predominantly Cambodian-manned hospitals. As both a cellist and a medical doctor, Richner was known by patients, audiences, and donors as "Beatocello". ==Career== After receiving his medical degree in 1973, Dr Richner specialized in pediatric care at the Zurich Children's Hospital. Following this, working for the Swiss Red Cross, he was sent to Cambodia where he worked at the Kantha Bopha Children's Hospital in Phnom Penh in 1974 and 1975. The hospital is named in memory of HRH Samdach Preah Ang Mechas Norodom Kantha Bopha (1948–1952), who was the daughter of King Norodom Sihanouk and died at a very young age. When the Khmer Rouge overran Cambodia, Richner was forced to return to Switzerland where he continued his work at the Zurich Children's Hospital. In the process of pursuing his medical career and an interest in music and entertainment, Dr. Richner developed the character of "Beatocello", an artistic and comedic clown who played the cello. Along with this persona, Richner also published many children's books based on "Beatocello". In December 1991 Richner returned to Cambodia and saw the devastation that had taken place following the ensuing conflicts with the Khmer Rouge and Vietnam. He was asked to re-open and re- build Kantha Bopha by the Cambodian government. Creating the Kantha Bopha Foundation in March 1992, Richner officially returned to Cambodia to begin reconstruction and Kantha Bopha was reopened in November 1992. Since then, the foundation has funded the expansion of Kantha Bopha Children's Hospitals to include five hospitals in total. As "Beatocello", Richner performed free concerts at the Jayavarman VII hospital in Siem Reap on Thursday and Saturday nights, during the high season. The evenings included songs, played on his cello, and talks on the health crisis in Cambodia. He asked the young tourists for blood, the older tourists for money, and the ones in between for both. Richner and his work in Cambodia were also the subject of six documentary films by Georges Gachot: Bach at the Pagoda (1997), And the Beat Goes On (1999), Depardieu goes for Beatocello (2002), Money or Blood (2004), "15 Years of Kantha Bopha" (2007), "Beatocello's Umbrella" (2012) . In 2006, the documentary "Dr Beat and The Passive Genocide of Children" by Australian film maker Janine Hosking was produced. Richner waged war on the large aid agencies, claiming that their policies of poor health care for poor people in poor countries are both illogical and immoral. Richner was named "Swiss of the Year" in 2002. He died of a serious illness on 9 September 2018 aged 71. ==Kantha Bopha== The five children's hospitals built by Richner and the Kantha Bopha Foundation are located in Cambodia's major cities. All of the hospitals provide treatment free of charge. Kantha Bopha I and II can be found in Phnom Penh and Jayavarman VII in Siem Reap. Kantha Bopha IV was opened in Phnom Penh in December 2005 and is connected to Kantha Bopha I. The 5th hospital, the most recent construction, opened in December 2007 (also in Phnom Penh). Kantha Bopha II was inaugurated on 12 October 1996. The hospital was constructed because of an apparent need caused by overcrowding in Kantha Bopha I. Land was donated by King Norodom Sihanouk. Jayavarman VII, constructed in 1998, similarly was constructed on land donated by Prime Minister Hun Sen. The commissioning of this hospital came from the initiative of Cham Prasidh, the minister of commerce. The hospital is located near Angkor Wat and has health education facilities as well inpatient and outpatient care. On 9 October 2001 a maternity ward for HIV infected mothers was added to Jayavarman VII and includes 350 hospital beds. In 2004, construction of Kantha Bopha IV began to offset structural and capacity issues of Kantha Bopha I. Built in connection to the first hospital, Kantha Bopha IV stands near the famous Wat Phnom in the capital city. Richner's funding and donation campaign for this hospital raised 15 million USD. The campaign "Aktion Zwaenzger Noetli 2004" was primarily done in Switzerland. The Kantha Bopha hospitals treat half a million children per year free of charge. Approx 100,000 seriously ill children are admitted. Japanese encephalitis, malaria, dengue fever and typhoid are common, often exacerbated by the presence of TB. TB is the number one killer. Mortality rate is an astonishingly low 1%. Richner says that over 80% of all paediatric health care in Cambodia is provided by his hospitals. The hospitals are primarily funded by donations from individuals in Switzerland. Operational expense in 2006 was in the order of US$17m. Since the Foundation started in 1991, it has reportedly raised US$370 million. In addition to medical care, the hospitals also provide an International Postgraduate Course. The Kantha Bopha Academy for Pediatrics was started in 2009. The program includes lectures and courses on general pediatrics, infectology, immunology and diagnostic imaging. The course program also includes an introduction into the organization and management of a children’s hospital and maternity facilities in a poor tropical country. ==Works== *Kantha Bopha.

Shams-i Tabrīzī () or Shams al-Din Mohammad (1185–1248) was a Persian * * * * Shafi'ite poet,Ibrahim Gamard, Rumi and Islam: Selections from his stories and poems, Pg Introduction xix who is credited as the spiritual instructor of Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi and is referenced with great reverence in Rumi's poetic collection, in particular Diwan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī. Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before fleeing for Damascus. The tomb of Shams-i Tabrīzī was recently nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ==Life== According to Sipah Salar, a devotee and intimate friend of Rumi who spent forty days with him, Shams was the son of the Imam Ala al-Din. In a work entitled Manāqib al-'arifīn (Eulogies of the Gnostics), Aflaki names a certain 'Ali as the father of Shams-i Tabrīzī and his grandfather as Malikdad. Apparently basing his calculations on Haji Bektash Veli's Maqālāt (Conversations), Aflaki suggests that Shams arrived in Konya at the age of sixty years. However, various scholars have questioned Aflaki's reliability.Virani, Shafique N. The Ismailis in the Middle Ages: A History of Survival, A Search for Salvation (New York: Oxford University Press), 2007, p. 51. Shams received his education in Tabriz and was a disciple of Baba Kamal al-Din Jumdi. Before meeting Rumi, he apparently traveled from place to place weaving baskets and selling girdles for a living.A History of Persian Philosophy, Vol II; M.M. Sharif. Page 824 Despite his occupation as a weaver, Shams received the epithet of "the embroiderer" (zarduz) in various biographical accounts including that of the Persian historian Dawlatshah Samarqandi. This however, is not the occupation listed by Haji Bektash Veli in the Maqālat and was rather the epithet given to the Ismaili Imam Shams al-din Muhammad, who worked as an embroiderer while living in anonymity in Tabriz. The transference of the epithet to the biography of Rumi's mentor suggests that this Imam's biography must have been known to Shams-i Tabrīzī's biographers. The specificities of how this transference occurred, however, are not yet known. ===Shams' first encounter with Rumi=== On 15 November 1244, a man in a black suit from head to toe came to the famous inn of Sugar Merchants of Konya. His name was Shams Tabrizi. He was claiming to be a travelling merchant. As it was said in Haji Bektash Veli's book, "Makalat", he was looking for something which he was going to find in Konya. Eventually he found Rumi riding a horse. One day Rumi was reading next to a large stack of books. Shams Tabriz, passing by, asked him, "What are you doing?" Rumi scoffingly replied, "Something you cannot understand." (This is knowledge that cannot be understood by the unlearned.) On hearing this, Shams threw the stack of books into a nearby pool of water. Rumi hastily rescued the books and to his surprise they were all dry. Rumi then asked Shams, "What is this?" To which Shams replied, "Mowlana, this is what you cannot understand." (This is knowledge that cannot be understood by the learned.) A second version of the tale has Shams passing by Rumi who again is reading a book. Rumi regards him as an uneducated stranger. Shams asks Rumi what he is doing, to which Rumi replies, "Something that you do not understand!" At that moment, the books suddenly catch fire and Rumi asks Shams to explain what happened. His reply was, "Something you do not understand."https://www.amazon.com/dp/1851682147 Franklin Lewis, Rumi, Past and Present, East and West, pp. 154–161. Another version of the first encounter is this: In the marketplace of Konya, amid the cotton stalls, sugar vendors, and vegetable stands, Rumi rode through the street, surrounded by his students. Shams caught hold of the reins of his donkey and rudely challenged the master with two questions. "Who was the greater mystic, Bayazid [a Sufi saint] or Muhammad?” Shams demanded. "What a strange question! Muhammad is greater than all the saints," Rumi replied. "So, why is it then that Muhammad said to God, 'I didn't know you as I should have,' while Bayazid proclaimed, 'Glory be to me! How exalted is my Glory! [that is, he claimed the station of God himself]?" Rumi explained that Muhammad was the greater of the two, because Bayazid could be filled to capacity by a single experience of divine blessings. He lost himself completely and was filled with God. Muhammad's capacity was unlimited and could never be filled. His desire was endless, and he was always thirsty. With every moment he came closer to God, and then regretted his former distant state. For that reason he said, "I have never known you as I should have". It is recorded that after this exchange of words, Rumi felt a window open at the top of his head and saw smoke rise to heaven. He cried out, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness for one hour. Shams, upon hearing these answers, realized that he was face to face with the object of his longing, the one he had prayed God to send him. When Rumi awoke, he took Shams's hand, and the two of them returned to Rumi's school together on foot. After several years with Rumi in Konya, Shams left and settled in Khoy. As the years passed, Rumi attributed more and more of his own poetry to Shams as a sign of love for his departed friend and master. In Rumi's poetry Shams becomes a guide of Allah's (Creator) love for mankind; Shams was a sun ("Shams" means "Sun" in Arabic) shining the Light of Sun as guide for the right path dispelling darkness in Rumi's heart, mind, and body on earth. The source of Shams' teachings was the knowledge of Ali ibn Abu Talib, who is also called the father of sufism. ==Death== thumb|Tomb of Shams TabriziAccording to contemporary Sufi tradition, Shams Tabrizi mysteriously disappeared: some say he was killed by close disciples of Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi who were jealous of the close relationship between Rumi and Shams, but according to many certain evidences, he left Konya and died in Khoy where he was buried. Sultan Walad, Rumi's son, in his Walad-Nama mathnawi just mentions that Shams mysteriously disappeared from Konya with no more specific details. Shams Tabrizi's tomb in Khoy, beside a tower monument in a memorial park, has been nominated as a World Cultural Heritage Center by UNESCO. 3 Timurid Skeletons Discovered near Minaret of Shams-e Tabrizi ==Discourse of Shams Tabrīzī== thumb|Tomb of Shams TabriziThe Maqalat-e Shams-e Tabrizi (Discourse of Shams-i Tabrīzī) is a Persian prose book written by Shams.Franklin Lewis, Rumi Past and Present, East and West, Oneworld Publications, 2000 Shams al-Din Tabrizi, Maqalat-e Shams-e Tabrizi, ed. Mohammad-Ali Movahhed (Tehran: Sahami, Entesharat-e Khwarazmi, 1990) Note: This is a two-volume edition The Maqalat seems to have been written during the later years of Shams, as he speaks of himself as an old man. Overall, it bears a mystical interpretation of Islam and contains spiritual advice. Some excerpts from the Maqalat provide insight into the thoughts of Shams: * Blessing is excess, so to speak, an excess of everything. Don't be content with being a faqih (religious scholar), say I want more – more than being a Sufi (a mystic), more than being a mystic – more than each thing that comes before you. * A good man complains of no-one; he does not look to faults. * Joy is like pure clear water; wherever it flows, wondrous blossoms grow…Sorrow is like a black flood; wherever it flows it wilts the blossoms. * And the Persian language, how did it happen? With so much elegance and goodness such that the meanings and elegance that is found in the Persian language is not found in Arabic.Shams al-Din Tabrizi, Maqalat-e Shams-e Tabrizi, ed. Mohammad-Ali Movahhed (Tehran: Sahami, Entesharat-e Khwarazmi, 1990). Note: This is a two volume edition. Actual quote: زبان پارسی را چه شده است؟ بدین لطیفی و خوبی، که آن معانی و لطافت که در زبان پارسی آمده است و در تازی نیامده است» Also found in: William Chittick, "Me and Rumi: The Autobiography of Shams-i Tabrīzī", Annotated and Translated. (Louisville, KY: Fons Vitae, 2004) *The meaning of the Book of God is not the text, it is the man who guides. He is the Book of God, he is its verses, he is scripture. p. 93. An array of mystical poetry, laden with devotional sentiments and strong 'Alid inclinations, has been attributed to Shams-i Tabrīzī across the Persian Islamic world. Scholars such as Gabrielle van den Berg have sometimes questioned whether these were really authored by Shams-i Tabrīzī. However, later scholars have pointed out that it may instead be a question of whether the name Shams-i Tabriz has been used for more than one person. Van den Berg suggests that this identification is the pen name of Rumi. However she acknowledges that, despite the large number of poems attributed to Shams, that comprise the devotional repertoire of the Ismailis of Badakhshan, an overwhelming majority of these cannot be located in any of the existing works of Rumi. Rather, as Virani observes, some of these are located in the "Rose Garden of Shams" (Gulzār-i Shams), authored by Mulukshah, a descendant of the Ismaili Pir Shams, as well as in other works.Virani, Shafique N.

Runyon Heights, also known as the area of Nepperhan, is a historically African American middle-class neighborhood in northwestern Yonkers, New York, US. Runyon Heights can be found along the north side of Tuckahoe Road between Saw Mill River Parkway and New York State Thruway. Noteworthy locations include Saint Mary's Cemetery and Kardash Park. ==History== Nepperhan, aka Runyon Heights was created as a small part of the Tenth Ward of the city of Yonkers. In those days Yonkers was divided into twelve wards. One of the common features of the Runyon Heights neighborhood is the frequency of dead-end streets, which separate the area from adjacent neighborhoods. Runyon Heights became one of the first predominantly black suburban areas, with few through streets into neighboring white neighborhoods - a feature designed in the years before World War 1. Barber shops and beauty salons doubled as meeting places for the politically active local community. Voters from Nepperhan were noted for crossing party lines when they cast their ballots. Their votes were driven by issues, making them influential in tight local elections. The political philosophy of the Runyon Heights community was that votes should go to candidates that did the most for them and not just voting uncritically for the Democratic Party. == Politics == Black Americans mostly voted democrat after the New Deal and President Truman's Committee on Civil Rights. Runyon Heights is considered an anomaly. In 1930 77% of voters were Republicans; by 1940 they were losing ground to Democrats, but Republicans held the majority through the Eisenhower years, and into the mid-1960s. Runyon Heights voters may have been influenced by Reconstruction era loyalties to the Republican Party. They also leaned socially conservative like many other typical suburbs. The residents described themselves as "Eisenhower Republicans". ==References== ==External links== *Runyon Heights Improvement Association (Yonkers.gov) Category:Neighborhoods in Yonkers, New York Category:African-American history of Westchester County, New York

Henry Kemble (1 June 1848 – 17 November 1907) was a British actor. A member of the famed Kemble family, he was the grandson of Charles Kemble. ==Life== He was born in London, the son of Henry Kemble, a captain of the 37th Foot, and educated at Maze Hill School Greenwich, King's College School and King's College London. In 1865 he took a post in the privy council office, but spent much of his time in amateur theatre, before making his professional début at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, on 7 October 1867. After a year or so as a junior member of the company there, he took old men and character parts in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Scarborough and Newcastle upon Tyne. On 29 August 1874 he made his first appearance in London at Drury Lane as Tony Foster in Andrew Halliday's Amy Robsart and was the original Philip of France in the same author's Richard Coeur de Lion. He then took the part of Dr Caius in The Merry Wives of Windsor before joining John Hare's company at the Royal Court Theatre in 1875, where he played Dr Penguin in J. Palgrave Simpson's A Scrap of Paper. In September 1876 he appeared at the Prince of Wales Theatre as Crossby Beck in Bolton and Saville Rowe's Peril (an adaptation of Victorien Sardou's Nos intimes), followed by the parts of Sir Oliver Surface in The School for Scandal and Mr Trelawney Smith in an adaptation of Sardou's Duty by Albery. On 31 January 1880 he appeared at the Haymarket Theatre as Mr Stout on the opening night of Bulwer-Lytton's Money. After two years alternating between the Haymarket and touring the provinces, first with Ellen Terry and then with Mrs Scott-Siddons, he reappeared in February 1882 at the Court Theatre as the Revd Mr Jones in Dion Boucicault's adaptation of My Little Girl and as Mr Justice Bunby in F. C. Burnand's farce The Manager. In 1885 he played his old part of Mr Snarl in Masks and Faces, by Charles Reade and Tom Taylor. For the next fifteen years Kemble played lesser roles in the West End, including some Shakespeare at the Haymarket. In September 1891 he took the part of Polonius at the Theatre Royal, Manchester in Herbert Beerbohm Tree's first performance of Hamlet, later becoming a leading member of Tree's Crystal Palace company, joining Tree at Her Majesty's Theatre on 1 February 1902, to play the original Ctesippus in Stephen Phillips's Ulysses. His last stage appearance was in April 1907 as Archibald Coke in Henry Arthur Jones's The Liars at the Criterion Theatre. He died, unmarried, in St Helier, Jersey.

Laurence BonJour (born August 31, 1943) is an American philosopher and Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Washington. ==Education and career== He received his bachelor's degrees in Philosophy and Political Science from Macalester College and his doctorate in 1969 from Princeton University with a dissertation directed by Richard Rorty. Before moving to UW he taught at the University of Texas at Austin. ==Philosophical work== BonJour specializes in epistemology, Kant, and British empiricism, but is best known for his contributions to epistemology. Initially defending coherentism in his anti-foundationalist critique The Structure of Empirical Knowledge (1985), BonJour subsequently moved to defend Cartesian foundationalism in later work such as 1998's In Defense of Pure Reason. The latter book is a sustained defense of a priori justification, strongly criticizing empiricists and pragmatists who dismiss it (such as W. V. O. Quine and Richard Rorty). In 1980, in his essay Externalist theories of empirical knowledge, Bonjour criticized the reliabilism of Armstrong and Goldman, proposing internalist approach to epistemic truth and knowledge justification. He formulated the examples of a clairvoyant and her reliable forecasts about the presence of the U.S. president in New York City. To set the problematic of this essay, Bonjour said that foundationalism, the most common form of internalism, requires the concept of a basic belief to solve the regress problem in epistemology: he wrote that this central concept is itself by no means unproblematic. ==Publications== ===Books=== *The Structure of Empirical Knowledge (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1985), pp. xiii, 258. *In Defense of Pure Reason (London: Cambridge University Press, 1998), pp. xiv, 232. *Epistemology: Classic Problems and Contemporary Responses (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2002), pp. viii, 283. *Epistemic Justification: Internalism vs. Externalism, Foundations vs. Virtues (jointly with Ernest Sosa).

Dunwoodie is a neighborhood in Yonkers, New York, noted for being the home of St. Joseph's Seminary and College on Valentine Hill. Dunwoodie (proper) is located north of the Seminary, while Dunwoodie Heights includes the seminary and what is south of it. Dunwoodie also includes Yonkers' "Little Italy" and a public golf course. The Yonkers Raceway is close by, located in Wakefield Park, while the Cross County Shopping Mall is also close by, but located in the neighborhood of Kimball. St. Joseph's Seminary is located technically in the neighborhood of Seminary Heights, but it is colloquially known as Dunwoodie. The Bee-Line Bus System has bus stops near the Cross County Shopping Center and Yonkers Raceway. The neighborhood is also accessible by exit 3 on the I-87 (Major Deegan Expressway). The Bronx River Parkway (to Exit 11W) and Cross County Expressway (exit 4S) are also nearby. == Intellectual life == Dunwoodie has given its name to The Dunwoodie Review, a theological journal published at St. Joseph's Seminary.http://www.dunwoodiereview.org The journal is a successor to the New York Review which was published by the seminary from 1905 to 1908. The Dunwoodie Review was published from 1961 to 1974 and, after a hiatus, annually from 1990 to the present. ==References== ==External links== *Yonkers Neighborhood Maps (City-Data.com) Category:Little Italys in the United States Category:Neighborhoods in Yonkers, New York

The Zephyr Competition Team (or Z-Boys) were a group of American skateboarders in the mid-1970s from Santa Monica and Venice, California. Originally consisting of 12 members, the Z-boys were originally sponsored by the Jeff Ho Surfboards and Zephyr Productions surf and skate shop. Their innovative surfing-based style and aerial moves formed the foundations of contemporary vert and transition skateboarding. The story of the Z-Boys and the Zephyr shop have been popularized in feature films such as Lords of Dogtown and Dogtown and Z-Boys. ==History== === Initial beginnings === The Z-boys began as a surf team for the Zephyr surfboard shop at Santa Monica. Jeff Ho, Skip Engblom, and Craig Stecyk opened the shop, titled Jeff Ho Surfboards and Zephyr Production Team, in 1973, and they soon begin recruiting young locals to represent them in surfing competitions. 14 year old Nathan Pratt was the first member of the team; he originally had worked in the shop as an apprentice surfboard shaper under Ho, Engblom, and Stecyk. In an interview with Juice Magazine, Pratt notes the following: > "Within our world, the surf team was primary and the skate team was > secondary. Allen Sarlo, Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta, Chris Cahill > and myself were on the surf team before there was a skate team. We were > junior members of the surf team along with John Baum, Jimmy and Ricky > Tavarez and Brian Walker. Guys like Ronnie Jay, Wayne Inouye, Wayne > Saunders, Pat Kaiser, Barry Amos, Jeff Sibley, Bill Urbany and Adrian Reif > were the top dogs. The history, skill and accomplishments of all the team > members was represented in those shirts. Then we added Bob Biniak, Wentzle > Ruml, Paul Constantineau, Jim Muir, Shogo Kubo and Peggy Oki to the skate > team so that a team shirt represented a decent number of people." In 1974, Allen Sarlo, Jay Adams, Tony Alva, Chris Cahill, and Stacey Peralta joined the Zephyr team; these local youths exhibited street style and aggressive mannerisms both on and off the surfboard. The majority of the team lived in the "Dogtown" area of Santa Monica; their primary surfing spot was the Cove at Pacific Ocean Park. However, thanks to the invention of urethane wheels, the Z-boys began to transition their surfing style to skateboarding. === Formation of the Zephyr Competition Team === In 1975, Cahill, Pratt, Adams, Sarlo, Peralta, and Alva became the first members of the official Zephyr skateboarding team. Soon after, the Zephyr shop gained the final members of their team, making the total number 12 in all. These additional members were: Bob Biniak, Paul Constantineau, Jim Muir, Peggy Oki, Shogo Kubo and Wentzle Ruml. The team began to practice in the backs of four schools in the surrounding area; it was at these asphalt banks that the Z-boys showcased their ability to transition surfing style to skateboarding. Taking inspiration from surfer Larry Bertleman, the Z-boys would skate low to the ground, dragging their hands against the concrete as if they were riding a wave. === The Del Mar Nationals === The Z-Boys' first appearance at a skateboard competition occurred at the 1975 Del Mar Nationals; the contest was the first major skateboarding competition since the mid 1960s. Their low, aggressive style in the freestyle section of the competition, though innovative, was critiqued by the older establishment of skateboarding. However, half of the finalists at the end of the competition were members of the Zephyr Competition Team (Freestyle: Jay Adams 3rd, Tony Alva 4th, Slalom: Dennis Harney 2nd, Nathan Pratt 4th, Womens Freestyle: Peggy Oki 1st). The performance of Z-Boys such as Jay Adams marked the beginning of a national change in the style of skateboarding. === Backyard pool skating === From 1976 to 1977, Southern California experienced a major drought that contributed to the 1st and 4th driest years in Californian history. In an effort to conserve water, neighborhood homes were draining their backyard swimming pools, leaving empty bowls of smooth concrete. The Z-boys took advantage of the sloping walls of the pools to push the boundary of innovation when it came to aerial skateboarding. Craig Stecyk's photographs of the Z-Boys' aerial maneuvers appeared in Skateboarder Magazine under a series titled "Dogtown Articles"; Stecyk's collections aided in the spike of skateboarding popularity in the late 20th century. === Later years === Following the success of the "Dogtown Articles", the Z-Boys witnessed an exponential rise in public popularity. Due to growing interest from rival companies, many Z-Boys left in favor of more lucrative sponsorships. By 1977, the Zephyr Competition Team had ceased to exist. While the existence of the Zephyr team was short-lived, the Z-Boys are still widely regarded as one of the most influential teams in skateboarding history. ==Members== === Original members === * Jay Adams * Tony Alva * Bob Biniak * Chris Cahill * Paul Constantineau * Shogo Kubo * Jim Muir * Peggy Oki * Stacy Peralta * Nathan Pratt * Wentzle Ruml IV * Allen Sarlo * Mike Morris * Aspers Aspinall === Later members === * Marshall Coben * Paul Cullen * Cris Dawson * Jose Galan * Dennis Harney * Paul Hoffman * Donnie Olham * Tommy Waller * Cory M.F.

Written Cantonese is the most complete written form of Chinese after that for Mandarin Chinese and Classical Chinese. Written Chinese was originally developed for Classical Chinese, and was the main literary language of China until the 19th century. Written vernacular Chinese first appeared in the 17th century, and a written form of Mandarin became standard throughout China in the early 20th century. Cantonese is a common language in places like Hong Kong and Macau. While the Mandarin form can in principle be read and spoken word for word in other Chinese varieties, its intelligibility to non-Mandarin speakers is poor to incomprehensible because of differences in idioms, grammar and usage. Modern Cantonese speakers have therefore developed new characters for words that do not exist and have retained others that have been lost in standard Chinese. With the advent of the computer and standardization of character sets specifically for Cantonese, many printed materials in predominantly Cantonese-speaking areas of the world are written to cater to their population with these written Cantonese characters. ==History== === Early history === Before the 20th century, the standard written language of China was Classical Chinese, which has grammar and vocabulary based on the Chinese used in ancient China, Old Chinese. However, while this written standard remained essentially static for over two thousand years, the actual spoken language diverged further and further away. The first Cantonese writings belong to Canton's specific mukjyusyu () literary form, that supposedly has its roots in Buddhist chants accompanied by wooden fish. Mukjyu texts were popular light reading, their primary audience were women, as female (and overall) literacy was unusually high in that region. The mukjyus were intended to be sung, similarly to other performing genres such as naamyam, although without musical instruments. The earliest known work with elements of written Cantonese, Faazin Gei (, "The Flowery Paper"), was composed by an unknown author during the late Ming dynasty (16-17th century); its oldest extant edition is dated to 1713. The Faazin Gei is an example of the "scholar and beauty" genre popular at the time, with its story set in Suzhou. Its text, while still being close to the literary Chinese, contains a lot of specific Cantonese wording and even Cantonese vernacular characters, especially in the dialogue sentences, but also in the narrative text. Other praised early works include Ji-Hofaa Si (, "The Two Lotus Flowers") and Gamso-Jyunjoeng Saanwusin Gei (, "Coral Fan and Golden-lock Mandarin-ducks Pendant"). Since the late Ming era, the naamyam song genre flourished. These southern songs were frequently sung in Canton's brothels, accompanied by string instruments. Their language was in general very literary, only occasionally throwing in some colloquial Cantonese words. The purpose of such inclusions is debated, they were likely added purely for rhythmic purposes. An example of such practice is Haaktou Cauhan (, "The Traveler's Autumn Regrets") written in the first decade of 1800s, which is considered one of the most outstanding examples of the naamyam genre. The Cantonese vocabulary was used much more in the lungzau (, "Dragon boat") songs, performed mainly by beggars on the streets. These songs were considered the least prestigious genre and were rarely published, and then only after careful editing to make them less vernacular in style. An important landmark in the history of written Cantonese was the publication of Jyut-au (, "Cantonese Love Songs") by Zhao Ziyong () in 1828. It marked the beginning of an extremely popular genre. Being an educated juren, Zhao Ziyong earned some prestige and respect for the "heavy" vernacular literature, which used to be rejected. === Modern times === In the early 20th century, Chinese reformers like Hu Shih saw the need for language reform and championed the development of a vernacular that allowed modern Chinese to write the language the same way they speak. The vernacular language movement took hold, and the written language was standardized as vernacular Chinese. Mandarin was chosen as the basis for the new standard. The standardization and adoption of written Mandarin preempted the development and standardization of vernaculars based on other varieties of Chinese. No matter which dialect one spoke, they still wrote in standardized Mandarin for everyday writing. However, Cantonese is unique amongst the non-Mandarin varieties in having a widely used written form. Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong used to be a British colony isolated from mainland China before 1997, so most HK citizens do not speak Mandarin. Written Cantonese has developed as a means of informal communication. Still, Cantonese speakers must use standard written Chinese, or even literary Chinese, in most formal written communications, since written Cantonese may be unintelligible to speakers of other varieties of Chinese. By the 1920s, with the rise of fully written libretti () for Cantonese opera, a well-recognised system had arisen for the use of written Cantonese. The theatrical art form became popularised further through the 1950s with the post-war Hong Kong film industry, during which one third of all cinema production was devoted to Cantonese opera. With the consistent use of on-screen subtitles, the film- going audiences regularly encountered written Cantonese at the cinema, as well as on the backs of phonograph records and later audiocassette and CD cases. Historically, written Cantonese has been used in Hong Kong for legal proceedings in order to write down the exact spoken testimony of a witness, instead of paraphrasing spoken Cantonese into standard written Chinese. However, its popularity and usage has been rising in the last two decades, the late Wong Jim being one of the pioneers of its use as an effective written language. Written Cantonese has become quite popular in certain tabloids, online chat rooms, instant messaging, and even social networking websites; this would be even more evident since the rise of localism in Hong Kong from the 2010s, where the articles written by those localist media are written in Cantonese. Although most foreign movies and TV shows are subtitled in Standard Chinese, some, such as The Simpsons, are subtitled using written Cantonese. Newspapers have the news section written in Standard Chinese, but they may have editorials or columns that contain Cantonese discourses, and Cantonese characters are increasing in popularity on advertisements and billboards. It has been stated that written Cantonese remains limited outside Hong Kong, including other Cantonese-speaking areas in Guangdong Province. However, colloquial Cantonese advertisements are sometimes seen in Guangdong, suggesting that written Cantonese is widely understood and is regarded favourably, at least in some contexts. Some sources will use only colloquial Cantonese forms, resulting in text similar to natural speech. However, it is more common to use a mixture of colloquial forms and standard Chinese forms, some of which are alien to natural speech. Thus the resulting "hybrid" text lies on a continuum between two norms: standard Chinese and colloquial Cantonese as spoken. ==Cantonese characters== ===Early sources=== A good source for well documented written Cantonese words can be found in the scripts for Cantonese opera. Readings in Cantonese colloquial: being selections from books in the Cantonese vernacular with free and literal translations of the Chinese character and romanized spelling (1894) by James Dyer Ball has a bibliography of printed works available in Cantonese characters in the last decade of the nineteenth century. A few libraries have collections of so- called "wooden fish books" written in Cantonese characters. Facsimiles and plot precis of a few of these have been published in Wolfram Eberhard's Cantonese Ballads. See also Cantonese love-songs, translated with introduction and notes by Cecil Clementi (1904) or a newer translation of these by Peter T. Morris in Cantonese love songs : an English translation of Jiu Ji-yung's Cantonese songs of the early 19th century (1992). Cantonese character versions of the Bible, Pilgrims Progress, and Peep of Day, as well as simple catechisms, were published by mission presses. The special Cantonese characters used in all of these were not standardized and show wide variation. ===Characters today=== File:Cantonesebillboard.jpg|A Hong Kong billboard in Written Cantonese with a mixture of English words in the typical code switch style of Hong Kong speech. File:Written_cantonese.jpg|A Hong Kong political advertisement in Written Cantonese File:Cantopoliticalbanner.jpg|Political banner in Written Cantonese Written Cantonese contains many characters not used in standard written Chinese in order to transcribe words not present in the standard lexicon, and for some words from Old Chinese when their original forms have been forgotten. Despite attempts by the government of Hong Kong in the 1990s to standardize this character set, culminating in the release of the Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set (HKSCS) for use in electronic communication, there is still significant disagreement about which characters are correct in written Cantonese, as many of the Cantonese words existed as descendants of Old Chinese words, but are being replaced by some new invented Cantonese words. ===Vocabulary=== General estimates of vocabulary differences between Cantonese and Mandarin range from 30 to 50 percent. Donald B. Snow, the author of Cantonese as Written Language: The Growth of a Written Chinese Vernacular, wrote that "It is difficult to quantify precisely how different" the two vocabularies are. Snow wrote that the different vocabulary systems are the main difference between written Mandarin and written Cantonese. Ouyang Shan made a corpus-based estimate concluding that one third of the lexical items used in regular Cantonese speech do not exist in Mandarin, but that between the formal registers the differences were smaller. He analyzed a radio news broadcast and concluded that of its lexical items, 10.6% were distinctly Cantonese. Here are examples of differing lexical items in a sentence: Written Cantonese and standard written Chinese equivalents with corresponding Jyutping romanization Gloss Written Cantonese Standard Written Chinese is hai6 si6 (Mandarin: shì) not m4 bat1 (Mandarin: bù) they/them keoi5-dei6 taa1-mun4 (Mandarin: tāmen) (possessive marker) ge3 dik1 (Mandarin: de) Is it theirs? hai6-m4-hai6 keoi5-dei6 ge3? Si6-bat1-si6 taa1-mun4 dik1? (Mandarin: Shì bùshì tāmen de?) The two Chinese sentences are grammatically identical, using an A-not-A question to ask "Is it theirs?" (referring to an aforementioned object). Though the characters correspond 1:1, the actual glyphs used are all different. ===Cognates=== There are certain words that share a common root with standard written Chinese words. However, because they have diverged in pronunciation, tone, and/or meaning, they are often written using a different character. One example is the doublet loi4 (standard) and lei4 (Cantonese), meaning "to come." Both share the same meaning and usage, but because the colloquial pronunciation differs from the literary pronunciation, they are represented using two different characters. Some people argue that representing the colloquial pronunciation with a different (and often extremely complex) character is superfluous, and would encourage using the same character for both forms since they are cognates (see Derived characters below). ===Native words=== Some Cantonese words have no equivalents in Mandarin, though equivalents may exist in classical or other varieties of Chinese. Cantonese writers have from time to time reinvented or borrowed a new character if they are not aware of the original one. For example, some suggest that the common word leng3, meaning pretty in Cantonese but also looking into the mirror in Mandarin, is in fact the character ling3.cantonese.org.cn Today those characters can mainly be found in ancient rime dictionaries such as Guangyun. Some scholars have made some "archaeological" efforts to find out what the "original characters" are. Often, however, these efforts are of little use to the modern Cantonese writer, since the characters so discovered are not available in the standard character sets provided to computer users, and many have fallen out of usage. In Southeast Asia, Cantonese people may adopt local Malay words into their daily speech, such as using the term 鐳 leoi1 to mean money rather than 錢 cin2, which would be used in Hong Kong. ===Particles=== Cantonese particles may be added to the end of a sentence or suffixed to verbs to indicate aspect. There are many such particles; here are a few. * – "me1" is placed at the end of a sentence to indicate disbelief, e.g. ？ Is your nickname really Raymond Lam? * – "ne1" is placed at the end of a sentence to indicate a question,ctcfl.ox.ac.uk e.g. What is your name? * – "mei6" is placed at the end of a sentence to ask if an action is done yet, e.g. Are you done yet? * – "haa5" is placed after a verb to indicate a little bit, e.g. Eat a little bit; "haa2" is used singly to show uncertainty or unbelief, e.g. ? What? Is that so? * – "gan2" is placed after a verb to indicate a progressive action, e.g. I'm eating an apple. * – "zo2" placed after a verb to indicate a completed action, e.g. I ate an apple. * – "saai3" placed after a verb to indicate an action to all of the targets, e.g. I ate all the apples. * – "maai4" is placed after a verb to indicate an expansion of the target of action, or that the action is an addition to the one(s) previously mentioned, e.g. I'll go after I finish eating the rest. ("eating the rest" is an expansion of the target of action from the food eaten to the food not yet eaten); You can go first. I'll eat before going. (The action "eating" is an addition to the action "going" which is previously mentioned or mutually known.) * – "waa1 / waa3" interjection of amazement, e.g. Wow! That's amazing! * – "gaa3 laa1" is used when the context seems to be commonplace, e.g., Everyone is like that. * – "ze1 maa3" translates as "just", e.g. I just have two pages of homework left to do. ===Loanwords=== Some Cantonese loanwords are written in existing Chinese characters.

Most of these tend to be archaic or rarely used characters. An example is the character 子, which means "child". The Cantonese word for child is represented by 仔(jai), which has the original meaning of "young animal". ===Compound formation=== The majority of characters used in Standard Chinese are phono-semantic compounds - characters formed by placing two radicals, one hinting as its meaning and one hinting its pronunciation. Written Cantonese continues this practice via putting the 'mouth' radical () next to a character pronounced similarly that indicates its pronunciation. As an example, the character uses the mouth radical with a , which means 'down', but the meaning has no relation to the meaning of . (An exception is mē, which is not pronounced like (yèuhng, sheep) but was chosen to represent the sound sheep make.) The characters which are commonly used in Cantonese writing include: Character Jyutping Notes Standard Chinese equivalent gaa3 function word haa5 function word aak1 v. cheat, hoax gam2 function word like this, e.g., gam3 function word like this, e.g., zo2 function word indicates past tense me1 function word, also a contraction of saai3 function word indicates completion, e.g., moved all, finished moving , dei6 function word, indicates plural form of a pronoun ni1 / nei1 adv. this, these m4 adv. not, no, cannot; originally a function word ngaam1 / aam1Wikipedia:粵語本字表 - 維基百科，自由嘅百科全書 adv. just, nearly ngaam1 / aam1Wikipedia:粵語本字表 - 維基百科，自由嘅百科全書 adv. correct, suitable di1 genitive, similar to 's but pluralizing i.e., this → these, = = "hurry!" , , juk1 v. to move hai2 prep. at, in, during (time), at, in (place) go2 adv. that, those ge3 genitive, similar to 's; sometimes function word , mak1 n. mark, trademark; transliteration of "mark" laak3 function word laa3 function word je5 n. thing, stuff , saai1 v. to waste lei4 / lai4 v. to come; sometimes function word gau6 function word a piece of lo1 / lo3 function word tau2 v. to rest haam3 v. to cry mai5 / mai6 v. not be, contraction of 唔係 m4 hai6, used following 係 in yes–no questions; also other uses , aa1 final particle expressing consent and denial, liveliness and irritation, etc. There is evidence that the mouth radical in such characters can, over time, be replaced by a different one. For instance, (lām, "bud"), written with the determinative ("cover"), is instead written in older dictionaries as , with the mouth radical. ===Derived characters=== Other common characters are unique to Cantonese or are different from their Mandarin usage, including: etc. The characters which are commonly used in Cantonese writing include: * mou5 (v. not have). Originally . Standard written Mandarin: * hai6 (v. be). Standard written Mandarin: * keoi5 (pron. he/she/it). Originally . Standard written Mandarin: , , , , * mat1 (pron. what) often followed by to form . Originally . Standard written Mandarin: * zai2 (n. son, child, small thing). Originally . * lou2 (n. guy, dude). Originally . * bei2 (v. give). Standard written Mandarin: * leng3 (adj. pretty, handsome). Standard written Mandarin: * saai3 (adv. completely; v. bask in sun) * fan3 (v. sleep). Originally . Standard written Mandarin: , * lo2 (v. take, get). Standard written Mandarin: * ling1 (v. take, get). Standard written Mandarin: * lei6 (n. tongue). Standard written Mandarin: * gui6 (adj. tired). Standard written Mandarin: * deng6 (n. place) often followed by to form . Standard written Mandarin: The words represented by these characters are sometimes cognates with pre-existing Chinese words. However, their colloquial Cantonese pronunciations have diverged from formal Cantonese pronunciations. For example, ("without") is normally pronounced mou4 in literature. In spoken Cantonese, mou5 has the same usage, meaning, and pronunciation as , except for tone. represents the spoken Cantonese form of the word "without", while represents the word used in Classical Chinese and Mandarin. However, is still used in some instances in spoken Cantonese, such as ("no matter what happens"). Another example is the doublet , which means "come". loi4 is used in literature; lei4 is the spoken Cantonese form. ===Workarounds=== Though most Cantonese words can be found in the current encoding system, input workarounds are commonly used both by those unfamiliar with them, and by those whose input methods do not allow for easy input (similar to how some Russian speakers might write in the Latin script if their computing device lacks the ability to input Cyrillic). Some Cantonese writers use simple romanization (e.g., use D as 啲), symbols (add a Latin letter "o" in front of another Chinese character; e.g., 㗎 is defined in Unicode but will not display if not installed on the device in use, hence the proxy o架 is often used), homophones (e.g., use 果 as 嗰), and Chinese characters which have different meanings in Mandarin (e.g., 乜, 係, 俾; etc.) For example, Character 你 喺 嗰 喥 好 喇, 千 祈 咪 搞 佢 啲 嘢。 Substitution 你 o係 果 度 好 la, 千 祈 咪 搞 佢 D 野。 Gloss you being there there good (final particle), thousand pray don't mess with he/she (genitive particle) things/stuff. Translation You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff. You'd better stay there, and under no circumstances mess with his/her stuff.

Usenet is a worldwide, distributed discussion system that uses the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP). Programs called newsreaders are used to read and post messages (called articles or posts, and collectively termed news) to one or more newsgroups. Users must have access to a news server to use a newsreader. This is a list of such newsreaders. ==Types of clients== * Text newsreader – designed primarily for reading/posting text posts; unable to download binary attachments * Traditional newsreader – a newsreader with text support that can also handle binary attachments, though less efficiently than more specialized clients * Binary grabber/plucker – designed specifically for easy and efficient downloading of multi-part binary post attachments; limited or nonexistent reading/posting ability. These generally offer multi-server and multi-connection support. Most now support NZBs, and several either support or plan to support automatic Par2 processing. Some additionally support video and audio streaming. * NZB downloader – binary grabber client without header support – cannot browse groups or read/post text messages; can only load 3rd- party NZBs to download binary post attachments. Some incorporate an interface for accessing selected NZB search websites. * Binary posting client – designed specifically and exclusively for posting multi-part binary files * Combination client – Jack-of-all-trades supporting text reading/posting, as well as multi- segment binary downloading and automatic Par2 processing *Web-Based Client - Client designed for access through a web browser and does not require any additional software to access Usenet. ==Active== === Commercial software === * BinTube * Forté Agent * NewsBin * NewsLeecher * Novell GroupWise * Postbox * Turnpike * Usenet Explorer === Freeware === * GrabIt * Opera Mail * Xnews – MS Windows === Free/Open-source software === * Claws Mail is a GTK+-based email and news client for Linux, BSD, Solaris, and Windows. * GNOME Evolution * Gnus, is an email and news client, and feed reader for GNU Emacs. * Mozilla Thunderbird is a free and open-source cross-platform email client, news client, RSS and chat client developed by the Mozilla Foundation. *Pan a full- featured text and binary NNTP and Usenet client for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, and Windows. *SeaMonkey Mail & Newsgroups * Sylpheed * X Python Newsreader === Text-based === * Alpine * Gnus (Emacs based) * Line Mode Browser * Lynx (has limited Usenet support) * Mutt (3rd party patches) * rn * Slrn * tin === Web-based === * Easynews * Google Groups == Discontinued == === Commercial software === *Lotus Notes * Netscape Communicator (superseded by Mozilla) *Windows Mail – replaced Outlook Express for Windows Vista – terminated by Windows 7 * Windows Live Mail – replaced Outlook Express for Windows XP; optional for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 === Freeware === * MT NewsWatcher – Mac OS X Universal Binary === Free/Open Source === * Arachne (with aranews.apm package) * Arena * Argo (discontinued) * Beonex Communicator * KNode (may be embedded in Kontact) * Mozilla Mail & Newsgroups (renamed to SeaMonkey) * Spotnet === Shareware === * Unison – Mac OS X === Text-based === * Agora (email server) * Pine ==See also== * Comparison of Usenet newsreaders * List of newsgroups ==References== ==External links== * Usenet newsreaders List

thumb|right|300px|NASA picture of the Reef Islands. The Reef Islands are a loose collection of 16 islands in the northwestern part of the Solomon Islands province of Temotu. These islands have historically also been known by the names of Swallow Islands and Matema Islands. ==Geography== The islands lie about north of Nendo, the largest of the Santa Cruz Islands. The center of the group is at approximately 10°12'36" S lat., 166°10'12" E. long. The islands are raised some five metres on the east and tilted west. The islands are subject to tidal surges caused by cyclones and volcanic activity from nearby Tinakula volcano. The island soils are shallow yet fertile. The islands or atolls of the group are: *Lomlom *Nifiloli *Fenualoa *Ngalo *Ngawa *Ngandeli *Nibanga Temau *Nibanga Nendi *Matema Island *Ngatendo *Pigeon Island. Numa Miombilou or "Great Reef" is one continuous shoal, extending about west of Nifiloli. About to the south of this shoal are 4 small coral reefs: *Malani *Malim *Manuwa *Matumbi. Separated from these groups are what are called the "outer islands": *Nalongo and Nupani at 10°6'36" S. lat., 165°19'12" E. long., located at about 75 km (45 mi.) northwest of the main group *Nukapu located about 35 km (21 mi.) to the northwest of the main group *Makalom about 17 km (10 mi.) to the northwest of the main group *Pileni about 9 km (5.5 mi.) to the northwest of the main group *Patteson Shoal about 100 km (60 mi.) away from the main group ==Population and languages== The total population of the Reef Islands is about 5,600, according to 2003 estimates. This includes a Polynesian community, believed to be descendants of people from northern Tuvalu. Two very different languages are spoken in the Reef Islands, both Oceanic, yet genealogically and typologically very different. The inhabitants of Pileni, Matema, Nupani and Nukapu, speak Vaeakau-Taumako (a.k.a. Pileni), a Polynesian outlier language. The remaining Melanesian (non-Polynesian) population speaks Äiwoo, a member of the Reefs–Santa Cruz group of Oceanic.Boerger, Brenda; Næss, Åshild; Vaa, Anders; Emerine, Rachel; Hoover, Angela. 2012.

"The Aleph" (original Spanish title: "El Aleph") is a short story by the Argentine writer and poet Jorge Luis Borges. First published in September 1945, it was reprinted in the short story collection, The Aleph and Other Stories, in 1949, and revised by the author in 1974. ==Plot summary== In Borges' story, the Aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping, or confusion. The story traces the theme of infinity found in several of Borges' other works, such as "The Book of Sand". Borges has stated that the inspiration for this story came from H.G. Wells's short story "The Door in the Wall". As in many of Borges' short stories, the protagonist is a fictionalized version of the author. At the beginning of the story, he is mourning the recent death of Beatriz Viterbo, a woman he loved, and he resolves to stop by the house of her family to pay his respects. Over time, he comes to know her first cousin, Carlos Argentino Daneri, a mediocre poet with a vastly exaggerated view of his own talent who has made it his lifelong quest to write an epic poem that describes every single location on the planet in excruciatingly fine detail. Later in the story, a business attempts to tear down Daneri's house in the course of its expansion. Daneri becomes enraged, explaining to the narrator that he must keep the house in order to finish his poem, because the cellar contains an Aleph which he is using to write the poem. Though by now he believes Daneri to be insane, the narrator proposes to come to the house and see the Aleph for himself. Left alone in the darkness of the cellar, the narrator begins to fear that Daneri is conspiring to kill him, and then he sees the Aleph for himself: Though staggered by the experience of seeing the Aleph, the narrator pretends to have seen nothing in order to get revenge on Daneri, whom he dislikes, by giving Daneri a reason to doubt his own sanity. The narrator tells Daneri that Daneri has lived too long amongst the noise and bustle of the city and spent too much time in the dark and enclosed space of his cellar, and the narrator assures him that what he truly needs are the wide open spaces and fresh air of the countryside, and these will provide him with the true peace of mind that he needs to complete his poem. He then takes his leave of Daneri and exits the house. In a postscript to the story, Borges explains that Daneri's house was ultimately demolished, but that Daneri himself won second place for the Argentine National Prize for Literature. He also states his belief that the Aleph in Daneri's house was "a false Aleph". Borges then defends this claim by citing many similar instances where objects were inaccurately perceived to be Alephs. ==References== ==External links== * Category:1945 short stories Category:Short stories by Jorge Luis Borges Category:Fantasy short stories Category:Short stories about writers Category:Works originally published in Sur (magazine) Category:Mathematics and culture Category:Buenos Aires in fiction Category:Fray Bentos in fiction Category:Novels set in Buenos Aires Category:Argentine speculative fiction works Category:Works based on the Divine Comedy

Eugene Aserinsky (May 6, 1921 - July 22, 1998), a pioneer in sleep research, was a graduate student at the University of Chicago in 1953 when he discovered REM sleep. He was the son of a dentist of Russian–Jewish descent. He made the discovery after hours spent studying the eyelids of sleeping subjects. While the phenomenon was in the beginning more interesting for a fellow of PhD student Aserinsky, William Charles Dement, both Aserinsky and their PhD adviser, Nathaniel Kleitman, went on to demonstrate that this "rapid-eye movement" was correlated with dreaming and a general increase in brain activity. Aserinsky and Kleitman pioneered procedures that have now been used with thousands of volunteers using the electroencephalograph. Because of these discoveries, Aserinsky and Kleitman are generally considered the founders of modern sleep research. Eugene Aserinsky died on July 22, 1998, when his car hit a tree north of San Diego. An autopsy was inconclusive about the cause of the accident, but raised the possibility that it had resulted from him having fallen asleep at the wheel.Chip Brown, October 2003 "The Stubborn Scientist Who Unraveled A Mystery of the Night", Smithsonian Magazine He was 77 and lived in Escondido, California. ==References== Category:American physiologists Category:1921 births Category:1998 deaths Category:Sleep researchers Category:Oneirologists Category:University of Chicago alumni Category:20th- century American Jews Category:20th-century American physicians

A deodand is a thing forfeited or given to God, specifically, in law, an object or instrument that becomes forfeited because it has caused a person's death. The English common law of deodands traces back to the 11th century and was applied, on and off, until Parliament abolished it in 1846. Under this law, a chattel (i.e. some personal property, such as a horse or a haystack) was considered a deodand whenever a coroner's jury decided that it had caused the death of a human being. In theory, deodands were forfeited to the Crown, which was supposed to sell the chattel and then apply the profits to some pious end.Sir Edward Coke (1669) The term deodand derives from the Latin phrase "deo dandum", which means "to be given to God." In reality, the juries who decided that a particular animal or object was a deodand also appraised its value, and the owners were expected to pay a fine equal to the value of the deodand. If the owner could not pay the deodand, his township was held responsible. ==History== Before 1066, animals and objects causing serious damage or even death were called banes and were handed over directly to the victim in a practice known as noxal surrender. Early legislation also directed people to pay specific sums of money, called wergild, as compensation for actions that resulted in someone else's death. The transition from bane to deodand remains obscure. By the second half of the thirteenth century, however, the coroner's rolls were replete with references to vats, tubs, horses, carts, boats, stones, trees, etc. The rules on which they depended were not easily explained by the old commentators. The law distinguished, for instance, between a thing in motion and a thing standing still. If a horse or other animal in motion killed a person, whether infant or adult, or if a cart ran over him, it was forfeited as a deodand. On the other hand, if death were caused by falling from a cart or a horse at rest, the law made the chattel a deodand if the person killed were an adult, but not if he were below the years of discretion. Deodands were still being forfeited throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, although not as frequently as before. Some scholars think the practice died out completely in the 18th century. Others speculated that deodands had become nominal assessments that were routinely levied.Smith (1967) Another possibility is that the practice was receiving less official attention because the profits from deodands were no longer going into royal coffers. By then, the Crown had long sold off the rights to deodands from most jurisdictions to lords, townships and corporations.Parliamentary Debates pp623-626 ==Demise== The rapid development of the railways during the 1830s saw an epidemic of railway deaths. The indifferent attitudes of the railway companies caused increasing public hostility. Under the common law of England and Wales, compensation could only be paid for physical damage to the claimant or their property. The families of fatal accident victims had no claim for purely emotional and economic loss. As a result, coroner's juries started to award deodands as a way of penalising the railways. On Christmas Eve 1841, in an accident on the Great Western Railway, a train ran into a landslip in Sonning Cutting and eight passengers were killed. The inquest jury assigned a deodand value of £1,000 to the train. Subsequently, a Board of Trade inspector exonerated the company from blame and the deodand was quashed on appeal, on technicalities. This alerted legislators, in particular Lord Campbell and the Select committee on Railway Labourers (1846). In the face of railway opposition, Campbell introduced a bill in 1845 to compensate victims. The bill led to the Fatal Accidents Act 1846, also known as Lord Campbell's Act. Campbell also introduced a bill to abolish deodands. The latter proposal, which became law as the Deodands Act 1846, to some extent mitigated railway hostility. ==In the United States== In American law, the deodand has been cited as a source for the modern civil forfeiture doctrine. The constitutions of New HampshireArt. 89 of the Constitution and Vermont§ 65 of the Constitution prohibit deodands, along with the Idaho Criminal CodeID Code § 18-314 and the Rhode Island laws.R.I.

Horacio Villamayor de la Costa (May 9, 1916 – March 20, 1977) was a Filipino Jesuit priest, historian and academic. He was the first Filipino Provincial Superior of the Society of Jesus in the Philippines, and a recognized authority in Philippine and Asian culture and history. Ordained a Jesuit priest at the age of 30, he became, at age 55, the first Filipino provincial superior of this religious order, the Society of Jesus. ==Early life and education== Horacio de la Costa was born in Maúban, Tayabas (now the province of Quezon) on May 9, 1916, to Judge Sixto de la Costa and Emiliana Villamayor. De la Costa first attended the public elementary school in Batangas before moving on to the Ateneo de Manila, where he distinguished himself for academic excellence and student leadership, particularly as a writer and, later, as editor of The Guidon, the campus newspaper. After earning there his Bachelor of Arts degree, summa cum laude, in 1935, he entered the Society of Jesus at the Sacred Heart Novitiate in Novaliches, where he later completed his master's degree. Afterward, he went back to the Ateneo to teach philosophy and history for two years. During this time, he also worked as a writer and radio talent for the Chesteron Evidence Guild, more specifically, the "Common Weal Hour", for which he created the character of Teban, the calesa driver, at the height of the controversy over the 1940 divorce bill. The program evolved into "Kuwentong Kutsero", consisting of satirical tales dealing mostly with life in Manila. ==War-time and post-war activities== During the war, the Japanese imprisoned him for two months in Fort Santiago for his role in the resistance movement. He helped Rev. Fr. John F. Hurley, the Jesuits' superior, in taking clothes and medicines to American and Filipino soldiers who had evaded capture by the Japanese or escaped from Japanese prison camps. For this, he was awarded the Medal of Freedom by the United States government in 1946. Early in 1946, he left for the United States to pursue further studies in theology at Woodstock College, Maryland, where he was ordained a priest on March 24, 1946, by American Bishop John F. McNamara. He received his doctorate degree in history at Harvard University in 1951. ==Return to the Philippines== Back in the Philippines, he served anew with the faculty of the Ateneo de Manila in 1953, later becoming its first Filipino college dean while teaching history at the same time. In 1958, he was made a consultant of the Philippine province of the Society of Jesus and, in 1959, assumed the editorship of its scholarly publication, Philippine Studies. Fr. de la Costa received a Smith-Mundt- Fuldright scholarship in 1960. In 1962, he became a research associate of the London School of Oriental and African Studies. During this period, he received honorary doctorates from the University of Santo Tomás, Tokyo's Sophia University, and Dumaguete's Silliman University. On December 8, 1964, he assumed office as provincial superior of the Philippine province of the Society of Jesus. His appointment ended the long line of Spanish and American Jesuits who were appointed to the said post in the Philippines. ==Works and achievements== De la Costa was the author of a number of books, particularly on Philippine culture and history, which revealed his nationalistic bent, among which are: *The Jesuits in the Philippines, 1581–1768 *The Trial of Dr. Rizal, an edited translation of W.E. Retana's transcription of the official Spanish documents *Recent Oriental History *Readings in Philippines History *The Background of Nationalism, and Other Essays *Asia and the Philippines He also contributed numerous articles on these subjects to various local and foreign scholarly publications, such as Philippine Social Sciences and Humanities Review, Bulletin of the Philippine Historical Association, Hispanic American Historical Review, Comment, Science Review, Theological Studies, and Philippine Studies. The Catholic Encyclopedia carries his article on the Philippines. In 1965, he was presented the Republic Heritage Award by the then Philippine President Diosdado Macapagal for his historical writings. In 1971 he became General Assistant to the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Pedro Arrupe, in Rome. Fr. de le Costa was one of the founding members of the Philippine Academy of Science and Humanities, as well as the International Association of Historians of Asia. He was also a member of the National Research Council of the Philippines, Philippine Bibliographical Society, Philippine Historical Association and the National Historical Society of the National Historical Commission. ==Death and legacy== thumb|left|Historical marker installed by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines in 2017 at the Ateneo de Manila University. A few years before his death, De la Costa attended the General Congregation of Jesuits from all over the world in Rome. In need of a composition on "The Jesuits Today", the delegates entrusted him the preparation. He worked on it by himself for three days. When he was finished, he returned to the congregation and read his draft. His composition was accepted exactly as he had written it. De la Costa died of cancer on March 20, 1977, at the age of 60. He was buried in the Jesuit Novitiate Compound in Novaliches, Quezon City. For his achievements in the Jesuit Philippine Province and the Jesuit congregation in general, the Loyola School of Theology of the Ateneo de Manila University was inaugurated while the Horacio de la Costa Hall in the same university was named, both in his honor. A street in Salcedo Village in Makati's central business district, where the Ateneo de Manila's Salcedo Campus (which is home to the university's Graduate School of Business and the Center for Continuing Education) is located has been named after him as well. In 1982, the National Historical Institute (now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines) unveiled a historical marker in his hometown of Mauban. Another marker was unveiled in 2017 at his namesake hall at the Ateneo de Manila. In 2016, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas released a limited edition one-peso commemorative coin in honor of de la Costa's 100th birth anniversary. ==References== *Tribute * *Nationalism in Spanish * * ==External links== *Austere laurels Category:1916 births Category:1977 deaths Category:Ateneo de Manila University alumni Category:Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences alumni Category:Academic staff of Ateneo de Manila University Category:20th-century Filipino historians Category:20th-century Filipino Jesuits Category:Filipino writers Category:Writers from Quezon Category:Recipients of the Medal of Freedom Category:University of Santo Tomas alumni Category:Silliman University alumni Category:Woodstock College alumni

Spin welding is a friction welding technique used on thermoplastic materials, in which the parts to be welded are heated by friction. The heat may be generated by turning on a lathe, a drill press, or a milling machine, where one part is driven by the chuck, and the other is held stationary with the spinning part driven against it. This is continued until the heat of friction between the parts reaches a sufficient level for the parts to weld. The stationary part is then released to spin as well, while pressure is applied along the axis of rotation, holding the parts together as they cool. In the 1970s, Mattel sold a toy called "Spinwelder", which consisted of a high-speed motor in a handle that spun a small plastic welding rod against a plastic joint to form a bond. Mattel sold construction kits sold for the purpose of assembling with the Spinwelder. ==References== Category:Plastic welding

Kauko Armas Nieminen (15 February 1929 – 2010) was a Finnish self-taught physicist. Nieminen was born in Kuopio, Finland. Although he was most known for his works in physics, he did not have any academic training or degree in physics, but was entirely self-taught. He had a bachelor's degree in law from the University of Helsinki. Nieminen's research and theories in physics were unusual. The basis of his work was the theory of "ether vortices". In principle, the theory claimed that the universe is filled with ether, and as the ends of the ether come close to each other vortices appear. The center of a vortex is an elementary particle. Nieminen claimed his theories can explain gravity, quantum phenomena, ball lightnings and the creation of the world.Nieminen, Kauko: Eetteripyörteet voimina. . Nieminen was also very critical towards the established scientific community, though not towards students of science, and had in fact been frequently invited to lecture to the same amidst mutual respect and good humor. Nieminen had published several books. Nieminen did not use a commercial publisher or advertisement agency, but instead published and distributed his books and advertisements himself. Kauko Nieminen was a deputy member of the city council of Helsinki from 2001 to 2004.Polyteekkari 12/2002 In the 2000 municipal elections, he was a candidate from the joint election list of the independent candidates in the Helsinki Metropolitan area.Candidates in the municipal elections in 2000 ==Publications== *Eetterin fysiikkaa (1980) * Eetteripyörteet voimina (1984) * Sähkö eetteripyörteitä (1987) * Tajunta ja sähköpyörteitä (1991) * Luomisen pyörteet (1993) * Tajunnan pyörteet (1993) * Kokonaisuuden eduksi (1994) * Aika ja aine (1995) * Aika ja aine, osa 2 (1999) * Luoja ja alkuluvut (2000) * Voima (2002) * Eetteripyörre (2003) * Jatko (2004) * Pyörteet (2005) * Alkuluvut ja sähkö (2006) ==References== ==External links== * An interview with Kauko Nieminen Category:1929 births Category:Finnish writers Category:2010 deaths Category:People from Kuopio Category:Pseudoscientific physicists

St Abb's Head is a rocky promontory by the village of St Abbs in Scottish Borders, Scotland, and a national nature reserve administered by the National Trust for Scotland. St Abb's Head Lighthouse was designed and built by the brothers David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and began service on 24 February 1862. ==Geology== The layered sedimentary rocks of greywacke and siltstone which lie to the north and south of the Head were laid down at the bottom of the sea between 460 and 410 million years ago. The Head itself is made from hard volcanic rock which formed as lava flowed from volcanoes around 400 million years ago. The different type of rocks accounts for the contrast in colour between the rocks of the Head and those of mainland cliffs. The softer sedimentary rocks have eroded over time, leaving behind the high headland made from the harder rock. However even this tough volcanic rock has been affected by the actions of the sea, leaving steep gullies and sea stacks which are ideal for nesting seabirds. The harder rocks of the Head are separated from the sedimentary rock to the southwest by the northwest slanting St Abb's Head Fault, which is marked by a low lying valley which contains the man made Mire Loch and at times of higher sea level would have been flooded, cutting off the headland from the mainland.Geological Conservation Review. Gives details of geology. ==Flora and fauna== St Abb's Head is home to a 60,000 strong seabird colony. Guillemots and razorbills nest on the offshore stacks, with guillemots nesting together in tightly packed crowds whilst razorbills prefer to nest in single pairs or in smaller groups. Kittiwakes breed on the sheer cliff faces of St Abb's Head, building nests from grass and mud on narrow ledges, whilst fulmars prefer grass-covered ledges and crevices. Shags, herring gulls and puffins are also present. Although best known for its seabirds, the reserve also has flower rich grasslands and a freshwater loch. To preserve the marine habitat, the NTS in conjunction with the Scottish Wildlife Trust, the local fishing community and diving clubs, have set up a Voluntary Marine Reserve which stretches south down the coast to the town of Eyemouth. The grazing on the Head is leased by the Trust to Northfield Farm which stands just to the south of the Head near St Abbs village. The grassland is surprisingly rich for a coastal situation, in some places it is possible to find over 20 different species of plant in one square metre. There are at least 10 different kinds of butterfly on the Head including the northern brown argus which is a nationally rare butterfly in the UK. The butterflies drink nectar from the flowers of the wild thyme and the caterpillars eat the leaves of rock rose, the areas in which these two plants grow are protected from sheep grazing by fencing. Just inland from the lighthouse is Mire Loch, a artificially created lake. ==History== Just 0.5 km to the SE of the lighthouse is Kirk Hill. On the summit of this hill are the remains of the 7th century monastery settlement of Saint Æbbe. About AD 643 Æbbe established the monastery on Kirk Hill within the remains of a 6th-century fort known as Urbs Coludi (Colud's Fort). Both monks and nuns lived at the monastery in basic beehive huts made from mud and branches. Æbbe remained as abbess until her death around 680, a few years later the monastery was accidentally burned down and was not replaced. The settlement was protected by a massive three-metre-high () turf rampart on the landward side, the remains of this rampart can be seen as a low ridge around the rim of the hill. These are the only remnants of the 7th-century monastic settlement of Æbbe. However, there are faint outlines of buildings, field boundaries and a rectangular burial site dating from the 12th century. These are the scant traces of a Benedictine chapel established in 1188 and dedicated to Æbbe by monks from Coldingham Priory. On the north side of the Head is Pettico Wick Bay this provides a natural trap for salmon as they swim down the coast. A fishing station was established here in 1880 and lasted until around 1950. A jetty was also built in the bay so supplies could be landed for the lighthouse. A signal station was established on the cliffs before 1820 and the facilities were shared by Trinity House and Her Majesty's Coastguard. The Northern Lighthouse Board recommended the building of a lighthouse at St Abb's Head after the sinking of the "Martello" on Carr Rock in 1857. The lighthouse was designed and built by the brothers David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and assisted navigation before and after sight of the Bell Rock and Isle of May lights disappeared from view. The light began service on 24 February 1862 and initially used oil to generate its light, it was converted to incandescent power in 1906 and to electricity in 1966 and finally automated in 1993. Before automation the lighthouse was staffed by three full-time keepers whose duties included keeping detailed weather records. Despite the lighthouse, several ships have been lost on the jagged coastline off St Abbs. The cargo ship MV Nyon ran aground on 16 November 1958 in dense fog. The crew was rescued ship was beached on rocks but the stern was successfully separated and salvaged, eventually towed to the Netherlands where it was rebuilt with a new front section. The Nyon's original bow section remained at St Abbs until it was destroyed by wave action. Royal Navy Scout Cruiser HMS Pathfinder, the first vessel to be destroyed by a self-propelled torpedo, sunk off St Abbs Head on 5 September 1914 with the loss of 259 lives, having been attacked by German U-boat, SM U-21. The explosion that destroyed the ship was witnessed by author Aldous Huxley who was staying in St Abbs at the time. ==Visitor facilities== thumb|St Abbs Visitor Centre The NTS has an information point for St Abb's Head located at Northfield Farm which has an exhibition with information about the Head, coffee shop, art gallery and textile shop. There are maps describing the walk to the Head and as well as Ranger led guided walks. March 2011 saw the opening of the latest addition to the many attractions of St Abbs in the form of the new St Abbs Visitor Centre. This facility is located in St Abbs old village hall, located at the cliff edge. Built as a resource for both visitors and locals, the centre offers free admission, interactive exhibits, library area, web access, photographs and historical artefacts. It provides visitors with information on the history of the village, the geology and also the local flora and fauna they are may encounter. The position of the building offers a 180-degree view from St Abb's Head all the way to the harbour and beyond. The centre is run by an independent Scottish charity.St Abbs Visitor Centre ==Conservation designations== Land around St Abb's Head was designated as a national nature reserve in 1984. The reserve is managed by the National Trust for Scotland in co-operation with NatureScot. The first part was purchased in 1980, with the Lumsdaine coastal strip being donated by Pearl Assurance Company Ltd. in 1984. Blackpotts grazings were purchased in 1994. As well as being an NNR, St Abb's Head forms part of several other national and international conservation designations as an important site for wildlife: *The NNR is classified as a Category IV protected area by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. *St Abb's Head lies at the southern end of the St Abb's Head to Fast Castle Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which covers a stretch of coastline running north as far as Fast Castle Head. *The intertidal areas form part of a separate SSSI, the Berwickshire Coast (Intertidal) SSSI, which extends as far south as the English border. *The NNR lies within the St Abb's Head to Fast Castle Special Protection Area (SPA). *The St Abb's Head to Fast Castle coastline is also designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and the seas offshore are part of a further SAC, the Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast SAC, which crosses the border to extend into England. ==See also== * St Abbs * St Æbbe * Coldingham Loch * Coldingham Priory * Coldingham ==Gallery== File:St Abbs village from St Abbs Head.jpg|The village of St Abbs seen from the southern side of St Abb's Head.

James Dewar (12 October 1942 – 16 May 2002) was a Scottish musician best known as the bassist and vocalist for Robin Trower and Stone the Crows, the latter having its beginnings as the resident band at Burns Howff in Glasgow. ==Biography== Dewar's career began with Lulu and the Luvvers in the early 1960s. His career eventually reached its zenith with the Robin Trower Band, a British rock power trio, after the 1974 release of the album Bridge of Sighs. Dewar made his mark as an acclaimed blue-eyed soul singer, performing in front of sold-out stadiums and concert halls at the crest of the 1970s classic rock era. The Scot had a rich, powerful voice, with a soulful timbre, and has been regarded by critics as one of the most under-rated rock vocalists. His vocal sound was deep, gritty, and resonating, his style shows the influence of Ray Charles and Otis Redding. Like Paul Rodgers and Frankie Miller, his voice evoked a bluesy, soul-inspired sound. Dewar recorded his one solo album, Stumbledown Romancer, during the 1970s, at the height of his career, but it was not released until two decades later. He collaborated primarily with former Procol Harum organist Matthew Fisher on the album, with the title track relating a hard-luck story. At Dykebar Hospital in Paisley, Scotland, Dewar died in May 2002 of a stroke after years of disability resulting from a rare medical condition, CADASIL, which caused a series of strokes. His funeral was held at Paisley's Woodside Crematorium. ==Discography== ===With Stone the Crows=== on bass: *1970: Stone the Crows *1970: Ode to John Law ===With Robin Trower Band=== as lead singer and bassist (except where noted): * 1973: Twice Removed from Yesterday * 1974: Bridge of Sighs * 1975: For Earth Below * 1976: Robin Trower Live! * 1976: Long Misty Days * 1977: In City Dreams (lead singer only) * 1978: Caravan to Midnight (lead singer only) * 1980: Victims of the Fury * 1983: Back It Up ===Solo=== * 1998: Stumbledown Romancer * 2015: Word for Word CD single ==References== ==External links== * TrowerPower.com – Official Robin Trower website Category:1942 births Category:2002 deaths Category:Musicians from Glasgow Category:Scottish baritones Category:Scottish bass guitarists Category:20th-century Scottish male singers Category:Scottish rock singers Category:20th-century Scottish musicians Category:20th-century bass guitarists Category:Male bass guitarists

Rock City (subtitled or alternative titled Rock City - Version 2.0) is the debut studio album by American rapper Royce da 5'9". After a two-year delay, resulting from a creative issue and label changes, the album was released on November 26, 2002. == Background == Originally receiving national attention for his appearance on Eminem's track, "Bad Meets Evil", which later launched the duo of the same name in 1999, Royce da 5'9" was cornered by Dr. Dre to join his imprint, Aftermath Entertainment, but he refused to fire his manager. After he was rejected, he later signed a development deal with Tommy Boy Records, which later fell through due to the fact that he learned that the label would own his publishing and master recordings for the following ten years by contract. Recording for the album began in 1999, after signing with Game Recordings, with the single, "Boom". In 2000, after signing with Columbia Records, the album's recording process began to dwindle when the label demanded radio-friendly singles; something Royce was not keen to create. Completed by October, it suffered numerous delays from December 2000 to November 2001, due to internal conflicts with label Columbia Records. As a result, in December 2001, Royce da 5'9" was dropped from the label and signed with Koch Records (now MNRK Music Group). In February 2002, the original version of the album was released promotionally outside of the United States without Royce's personal or legal authority. He threatened to take legal action against Columbia's parent, Sony Music, but ultimately did not do it. Ultimately, Royce had to re-recorded a majority of the album, with tracks removed due to Sony owning rights to the content. Therefore, the album had to foresee a November 26, 2002 release date under Game Recordings and Koch Records. The subtitle, Version 2.0, was also added, due to the rearrangements. In mid-2023, the original version of Rock City leaked online and on digital music services. == Reception == === Commercial === The album failed to make the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, but debuted at number twenty-nine on the Top R&B;/Hip-Hop Albums chart. ==Track listing== * The album was released in many versions. Most notable of them is Version 2.0 * The track listing is for Version 2.0 === Notes === "Get'cha Paper", "We Live (Danger)", "D-Elite Part 2", "She's the One" and "What Would You Do" from his original album do not appear on Version 2.0. === Samples === * "My Friend" samples "Let's Have Some Fun" by The Bar-Kays, "Cross My Heart" by Killah Priest * "Nickel Nine Is..." samples "I'll Live My Love for You" by Millie Jackson * "Boom" samples "Forever Is a Long, Long Time" by Marc Hannibal, "Anthology" by Kay-Gees, "You Know My Steez" by Gang Starr, "Afro Puffs" by The Lady of Rage * "Who Am I" samples "Livin Inside Your Love" by Earl Klugh * "Life" samples "Woman in Love" by Barbra Streisand * "You Can't Touch Me" samples "Love and Happiness" by Al Green * "King of Kings" samples "Distant Land" by Traci Lords ==Chart positions== ===Album chart positions=== Chart (2002) Peak position scope="row" scope="row" ===Singles chart positions=== Year Song Chart positions Hot R&B;/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks Hot Rap Singles 1999 "Boom" - #48 2000 "You Can't Touch Me" #66 - 2002 "Rock City" #99 - ==References== Category:2002 debut albums Category:Royce da 5'9" albums Category:E1 Music albums Category:Albums produced by the Neptunes Category:Albums produced by DJ Premier Category:Albums produced by Ayatollah Category:Albums produced by Ty Fyffe

(French for veil) is a soft, sheer fabric, usually made of 99% cotton or cotton blended with linen or polyester. The term is because of its light weight, the fabric is mostly used in soft furnishing. In tropical climates, voile is used for window treatments and mosquito nets. When used as curtain material, voile is similar to net curtains. Voiles are available in a range of patterns and colours. Because of their semitransparent quality, voile curtains are made using heading tape that is less easily noticeable through the fabric. Voile fabric is also used in dressmaking, either in multiple layers or laid over a second material. It is similar to chiffon. ==Material types== Light- penetrable sheer fabrics include voile, muslin, and lace. These can be broadly divided into two groups based on method of production. The first are the natural fibers such as cotton and silk. The second group is prepared from a man-made fiber. This kind of synthetic sheer is extracted from raw material such as wood pulp or petroleum. They are robust and sturdy, yet still delicate looking, and tend to take dye well. They are often used as window dressing as they fall into soft folds that are appropriate for scarf swags. In music, a voile refers to the cloth used to muffle a drum. == See also == *Marquisette *Organza ==References== == External links == * Category:Net fabrics Category:Woven fabrics

thumb|View from Lizard Point thumb|Lizard Point seen from near the Youth Hostel Lizard Point () in Cornwall is at the southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula. It is situated half-a-mile (800 m) south of Lizard village in the civil parish of Landewednack and about 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Helston. Lizard Point is the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain at 49° 57' 30" N. With the exception of parts of the Isles of Scilly, it is the southernmost part of England and the wider United Kingdom. ==History and geography== Lizard Point is for many ships the starting point of their ocean passage and a well known shipping hazard. The Lizard Lighthouse is situated at Lizard Point. Immediately below the lighthouse, situated in what used to be a hotel, is the YHA Lizard Youth Hostel. Lizard Point is situated within Caerthillian to Kennack SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), noted for its biological and geological interest. Polpeor Cove is a small cove to the east of Lizard Point.Ordnance Survey Landranger Series of Great Britain; Land's End, The Lizard & The Isles of Scilly, sheet 203. 1983 The area is famous for its carved serpentine items, which range from ornaments to the pump handles in the Five Pilchards public house, in Porthallow. The geology of Lizard is of particular interest, being interpreted as an ophiolite, a piece of ocean floor, with a number of planned walks available from local tourist authorities to discover more about the local rocks. The first sighting of the Spanish Armada on mainland Britain was off Lizard Point at 3 pm on 29 July 1588. The Battle at the Lizard, between the English and the French navies during the War of the Spanish Succession, took place off The Lizard on 21 October 1707. ===Sinking of Ardgarry=== The 1,074 gross ton bulk coaster carrier MV Ardgarry (1957) was lost in a heavy storm, in over 30 ft (9m) high waves, off Lizard Point on 29 December 1962. All 12 crewmen perished and were never found. She was built by James Lamont & Co at the Port Glasgow shipyard. The Ardgarry was carrying coal from Swansea and headed to Rouen in France. Six of the crew were from Northern Ireland, five from Scotland, and one from Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. Found again in 2006, the ship's bell was recovered, and a memorial service was held by family members in August 2008. ===Bugaled Breizh sinking=== On 15 January 2004 the French fishing trawler Bugaled Breizh (child of Brittany) sank off Lizard Point with the loss of five lives. There were claims at the time by French marine accident experts that the vessel may have been pulled under when her nets became entangled in a British or Dutch submarine which was conducting NATO exercises in the area at the time. ==Lifeboat service== thumb|The disused lifeboat slipway, Polpeor Cove The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) operates The Lizard lifeboat station at Kilcobben Cove, two miles (3 km) northeast of Lizard Point. A Tyne class lifeboat is housed in a large boathouse at the base of the cliff. The station features a funicular line to transport lifeboat crews from the boathouse to the clifftop station car park. The biggest rescue in the RNLI's history was 17 March 1907 when the 12,000 tonne liner SS Suevic hit the Maenheere Reef near Lizard Point. In a strong gale and dense fog RNLI lifeboat volunteers rescued 456 passengers, including seventy babies. Crews from The Lizard, Cadgwith, Coverack and Porthleven rowed out repeatedly for sixteen hours to rescue all of the people on board. Six silver RNLI medals were later awarded, two to Suevic crew members. ==See also== *Land's End, westernmost point of mainland England *Marshall Meadows Bay, northernmost point of England *Ness Point, easternmost point of England ==References== Category:Lizard Peninsula Category:Headlands of Cornwall Category:Tourist attractions in Cornwall

Death Is Certain is the second studio album by American rapper Royce da 5'9". It was released on February 24, 2004, through Koch Records. Recording sessions took place from December 2002 to January 2004 at Isolation Records, at Nation Studios in Detroit, and at MPA Studios. The majority of the album's production was handled by Carlos "6 July" Broady of Bad Boy Records production team The Hitmen. Other producers contributed to the album are Jason "Asar" Qualls, Ty Fyffe, Rob "Reef" Tewlow, Mark Bassin, and DJ Premier, who produced the album's lead single "Hip Hop". It features guest appearances from Ingrid Smalls, 6 July, Cha Cha and Cutty Mack. The album peaked at number 161 on the Billboard 200 and number 39 on the Top R&B;/Hip-Hop Albums. ==Background== Released two years after his official debut Rock City, Royce spent his two- year hiatus entangled in a beef with fellow Detroit natives and former allies, D12. Due in part to a battle with depression, Death Is Certain features a sound considerably darker than that heard on his debut. Royce's new sound garnered him considerable acclaim for the album, with most critics calling Death Is Certain his strongest effort. The album is also noted by many listeners to contain both 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. influences in Royce's lyrics. Later, Royce said he can't listen to the album because it takes him "to a dark place and a dark time". About the process during the production of it: "I like the fact that album happened. It taught me a lot about the creative process. I had no choice but to be honest. I didn't go into that album the way I go into albums now, where I know exactly what I need to be doing as an artist. I know not to reach for anything, to just be myself. To be honest and be transparent, that's what I like to do. That's what I feel will resonate the best. That's what I did with Death Is Certain, but I didn't plan to. It was like I was stuck in that mode. I was going through so much. We actually did that album, me and Six July, we did that album in like two weeks. Six of those songs I did within the first couple of days. That was the first batch of beats he played me. I remember they went to the titty bar, and I was just writing all of them. Knocking them down real quick. It was like, so much on my mind, I don't even think I was focused on being super lyrical. [laughs] I was just spilling. Just spilling shit. And I was super drunk". ==Critical reception== Death Is Certain was met with generally positive reviews. At Album of the Year, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional critics, the album received an average score of 70, based on four reviews. About the critical acclaim, Royce said: "For the album to have that type of reaction, to resonate with people like that...It just gave me an idea-- when we come in the game, everything is trial and error. It's going to be from making mistakes. Death Is Certain was a situation where I learned from something that was successful. Most of the shit I know now, I learned from making mistakes. Most of my valuable lessons came from making mistakes". ==Track listing== ;Sample credits *"Regardless" samples "Love and Happiness" by Al Green and contains re-sung elements of Lose Yourself by Eminem *"Hip Hop" samples "Overture" by Jerry Goldsmith *"I & Me" contains re-sung elements of "Against All Odds" by 2Pac *"T.O.D.A.Y." samples "Ike's Mood 1" by Isaac Hayes and contains re-sung elements of "B.I.G.

Tikopia is a volcanic island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It forms a part of the Melanesian nation state of Solomon Islands but is culturally Polynesian. The first Europeans arrived on 22 April 1606 as part of the Spanish expedition of Pedro Fernandes de Queirós.Kelly, Celsus, O.F.M. La Austrialia del Espiritu Santo. The Journal of Fray Martín de Munilla O.F.M. and other documents relating to the Voyage of Pedro Fernández de Quirós to the South Sea (1605-1606) and the Franciscan Missionary Plan (1617-1627) Cambridge, 1966, p.39, 62. ==Location and geography== Covering an area of , the island is the remnant of an extinct volcano. Its highest point, Mt. Reani, reaches an elevation of above sea level. Lake Te Roto covers an old volcanic crater which is deep. Tikopia's location is relatively remote. It is sometimes grouped with the Santa Cruz Islands. Administratively, Tikopia belongs to Temotu Province as the southernmost of the Solomon Islands. Some discussions of Tikopian society include its nearest neighbour, the even tinier island of Anuta. ==History as a Polynesian outlier== While it is located in Melanesia, the people of Tikopia are culturally Polynesian. Their language, Tikopian, is a member of the Samoic branch of the Polynesian languages. The linguistic analysis indicates that Tikopia was colonized by seafaring Polynesians, mostly from the Ellice Islands (Tuvalu). The time frame of the migration is not precisely identified but is understood to be some time between the 10th century to the mid-13th century. The arrival of the voyagers in Anuta could have occurred later. The pattern of settlement that is believed to have occurred is that the Polynesians spread out from Tonga and other islands in the central and south eastern Pacific. During pre-European-contact times there was frequent canoe voyaging between the islands as Polynesian navigation skills are recognised to have allowed deliberate journeys on double-hull sailing canoes or outrigger canoes. The voyagers moved into the Tuvaluan atolls as a stepping stone to migration into the Polynesian outlier communities in Melanesia and Micronesia. In Tikopian mythology Atua Fafine and Atua I Raropuka are creator gods and Atua I Kafika is the supreme sky god. == Population == The population of Tikopia is about 1,200, distributed among more than 20 villages mostly along the coast. The largest village is Matautu on the west coast (not to be confused with Mata-Utu, the capital of Wallis and Futuna). Historically, the tiny island has supported a high-density population of a thousand or so. Strict social controls over reproduction prevented further increase. Tikopians practice an intensive system of agriculture (which has been compared to permaculture), similar in principle to forest gardening and the gardens of the New Guinea Highlands. Their agricultural practices are strongly and consciously tied to the population density. For example, around 1600, the people agreed to slaughter all pigs on the island, and substitute fishing, because the pigs were taking too much food that could be eaten by people. Tikopians have developed rituals and figurative constructions related to their fishing practices. Unlike the rapidly Westernizing society of much of the rest of Temotu Province, Tikopia society is little changed from ancient times. Its people take great pride in their customs, and see themselves as holding fast to their Polynesian traditions while they regard the Melanesians around them to have lost most of theirs. The island is controlled by four chiefs (ariki) Kafika, Tafua, Taumako and Fangarere, with Kafika recognised as the first among equals. Tikopians have a highly developed culture with a strong Polynesian influence, including a complex social structure. ==Field work on Tikopia by Raymond Firth== New Zealand anthropologist Raymond Firth, who lived on Tikopia in 1928 and 1929, detailed its social life. He showed how the society was divided geographically into two zones and was organized into four clans, headed by clan chiefs. At the core of social life was te paito – the house inherited from male (patrilineal) ancestors, who were buried inside it. Relationships with the family grouping of one's mother (matrilateral relations) were also very important. The relations between a mother's brother and his nephew had a sacred dimension: the uncle oversaw the passage of his nephew through life, in particular, officiating at his manhood ceremonies. Intricate economic and ritual links between paito houses and deference to the chiefs within the clan organization were key dimensions of island life. Raymond Firth, who did his post-graduate anthropological study under Bronislaw Malinowski in 1924, speculates about the ways population control may have been achieved, including celibacy, warfare (including expulsion), infanticide and sea-voyaging (which claimed many youths). Firth's book, Tikopia Ritual and Belief (1967, London, George Allen & Unwin) remains an important source for the study of Tikopia culture. ==Christianity== The Anglican Melanesian Mission first made contact with Tikopia in 1858. A mission teacher was not allowed to settle on the island until 1907. Conversion to Christianity of the total population did not occur until the 1950s. Administratively, Tikopia is part of the Anglican Church of Melanesia's Diocese of Temotu. The introduction of Christianity resulted to the banning of traditional birth control, which had the consequence of a 50% increase of the population: 1,200 in 1920 to 1,800 in 1950. The increase in population resulted in migration to other places in the Solomon Islands, including in the settlement of Nukukaisi in Makira. ==Shipwreck== On Tikopia in 1964, explorers found artifacts from the shipwreck of the expedition of Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse. ==Cyclone Zoe== Cyclone Zoe in December 2002 devastated the vegetation and human settlements in Tikopia. Despite the extensive damage, no deaths were reported, as the islanders followed their traditions and sheltered in the caves in the higher ground. The narrow bank that separated the freshwater lagoon from the sea was breached by the storm, resulting in the continuing contamination of the lagoon and the threatened death of the sago palms on which the islanders depend for survival. A remarkable international effort by "friends of" the island, including many yacht crews who had had contact with Tikopia over the decades, culminated in the construction in 2006 of a gabion dam to seal the breach. ==Cultural significance== Jared Diamond's book Collapse describes Tikopia as a success case in matching the challenges of sustainability, contrasting it with Easter Island. ==Tikopia in media== In 2009 a double canoe closely following the original design of the traditional Tikopia canoes was donated to the island, as well as to Tikopia's sister island Anuta, in order to give the islands their own independent sea transport. This canoe called 'Lapita Tikopia' and its sistership 'Lapita Anuta' were built in the Philippines in 2008 and sailed to Tikopia and Anuta in a 5 months voyage following the ancient migration route of the Lapita people into the Pacific. This voyage was called the 'Lapita Voyage', with more information about the voyage here. Its original concept (by Hanneke Boon of James Wharram Designs) to donate such a canoe was first published in 2005 in a project called 'A Voyaging Canoe for Tikopia' in order to raise money for the building of the canoes. The project was filmed and is available as DVD. In 2013 a Norwegian mother and father brought their two children and a nephew to Tikopia and lived there for 6 months. A film crew went along and a 13 episode children's series was made of the family experiences and stay, primarily focusing on the experiences of the young daughter of the Norwegian family, Ivi, with the local children, local school the local chief Tafua and his family, etc. The series was shown on NRK television channel NRK Super. In October 2018, the king of the island, Ti Namo, made his first visit to the western world to share his worries about climate change on his island. He went to Grenoble in France, where he presented his documentary Nous Tikopia before a national release on November 7, and declared to the press, "Before, we suffered a cyclone every ten years. Today it's every two years." == See also == * Oceania * Pacific Islands == References == == External links == * (The Island of Tikopia.

This is a list of music videos by the German musical project Enigma. ==MCMXC a.D. == Song title Personnel External links "Sadeness (Part I)" Director: Michel Guimbard Producer: Thierry Sadoun A man is writing at a desk with a quill pen when he falls asleep. He then descends into a dream where he wears a red cloak, and explores the ruins of an old cathedral. During his exploration, the screen fades in and out from the cathedral into one of a woman. One of the most striking objects in the cathedral is a vivid rose, contrasting the decay of his surroundings. He is then brought back into the cathedral and tries to run away after opening a door that leads to darkness. He then disappears into the ground and the cloak left behind floats into the darkness, and he wakes up from his dream abruptly. "Principles of Lust" Director: Howard Greenhalgh Producer: Megan Hollister/Pam JamesOnly Pam James was listed as the producer in the video credits, but other sources also credit Megan Hollister as a producer for the music video. The scene shows an orgy of sorts, with a large group of adult males and females engaging in lascivious behavior with each other. The setting is in a non-descript room with a heavy red color setting, with heavy accents of rose and nude tones as well. The characters wear what appears to be lingerie from the Victorian era, as well as European-style wigs and accessory jewelry. For the length of the song, only soft-core sexual acts being performed, with nothing overtly obscene being displayed. British model Laura Berkley is the main female character in the video. "Mea Culpa (Part II)" Director: Howard Greenhalgh Producer: Pam James The video for uses the "Orthodox Mix" of the song instead of the album version and is usually credited as "Mea Culpa Part II". Most of the video is cast in a sepia tone and features an endless plume of smoke superimposed over the images. The video begins and ends with a kneeling woman swaying as if in prayer, with close-ups revealing that she wears a pair of heavy gauntlets. In-between are scenes of a young woman either running through an expansive cathedral's courtyard or being carted away in a rickety wagon as if to a witch trial. In a highly unusual move for Enigma videos, the band's name is featured prominently in several scenes alongside what appears to be an alchemical symbol. "The Rivers of Belief" Director: Howard Greenhalgh Producer: Megan Hollister The two settings for the music video are medieval Europe and rural India. It starts off with a few crusade-like images, and proceeds to showing clips of an Indian boy jumping into, and running in, a yellow river. The rest of the video interleaves those two settings, along with some clips of the singer, Michael Cretu. ==The Cross of Changes== Song title Personnel External links "Return to Innocence" Director: Julien Temple The music video begins in black and white with an old man tending to a fruit farm. He plucks a quince from a tree and bites into it before lying down on the grass, dying. The fallen fruits surrounding him then rises back up into the tree as the video switches to colour. Then his life is shown in reverse, working and living in the countryside together with his wife. The video progresses backwards showing the couple's church wedding, their lovemaking in the farmhouse and the time when they both were young adults. The video then shows the wife as a young girl just learning to write and the man as a young boy, biting into a fruit. The music video ends with the boy being baptised as a baby. During the length of the video, a white unicorn, representing innocence and purity, appears several times as it gallops in reverse. The music video was shot in Málaga, Spain, "Age of Loneliness" Director: Big TV! The video contains many clips from central New York and daily New York life. Both urban and suburban parts of the town are shown. Most of these clips also have people of different ages, races and gender floating and swimming mid-air. Some of them are shown wet and naked, seemingly invisible to the surrounding New Yorkers. The video has no apparent story, instead relying on the surreal images to capture the viewer. At the very end of the video clip, a taxi passes by a cinema which has a signboard that says "Almost Full Moon". That is a probable but unconfirmed reference to a song with the same title on the next Enigma album, released in 1996. "The Eyes of Truth" Director: Julien Temple The video is set in a rural part of Nepal. It begins by observing beekeepers at work but quickly turns to a woman placing her baby in a reed basket and floating it down a river. The baby is eventually found by elephants and raised by them. A few years later, the child begins a journey with the elephant, passing through mountains and forests before reaching a village where he is welcomed by exuberant crowds as a messianic figure. "Out from the Deep" Director: Ángel GraciaÁngel Gracia is a Venezuelan director, often known as just the mono-monikered Angel , also winner of MTV's Make My Video competition for his direction on the video "True Blue" from Madonna. In the music video, a diver wearing a standard diving dress explores an ancient sunken city by flashlight while fishes swim throughout the city. He comes upon a big door, opens it and is engulfed in a bright light. In the next scene the diver awakes and finds himself in a room with Roman-era frescoes. The people in the frescoes comes alive as the city cracks and crumbles with the diver in it. In the last scene, the diver has himself been turned into a fresco on a chunk of the city wall. ==Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!== Song title Personnel External links "Beyond the Invisible" Director: Julien Temple In the music video, a girl escapes from an unhappy home and into a forest where forest nymphs reside. There she sees a couple figure skating in the middle of the forest and hides in the bushes to watch them secretly. At the end, she is spotted by one of the "man-machines" and leaves together with them as they and the other two "man-machines" fade and disappear. The skaters are Finnish European Figure Skating Championship winners, Susanna Rahkamo and Petri Kokko. The music video is influenced by Michael Cretu's vision of ice skating, forest nymphs, and "man-machines" (the latter of which also adorn the album cover). "T.N.T. for the Brain" Director: Anthea Benton The video follows the dreams of a handsome young man dressed in a style reminiscent of Victorian fashion. The man finds himself before several doorways, behind each lies a different woman. The first is a woman dressed in a similarly Victorian style with an elaborate mask tattooed onto her face. She moves unnaturally and wears menacing silver jewelry on her hands. The second woman is dressed simply but wears a pink wicker mask. The third rests in a spiderweb. The final women he meets are a pair of heavily made-up twins. Between these scenes is featured a mysterious man dressed in what appears to be a matador's outfit. ==The Screen Behind the Mirror== Song title Personnel External links "Gravity of Love" Director: Thomas Job In the video a high society masquerade ball is being held at a huge mansion. Even the wait staff wear black masks. Early on in the video, we are granted a glimpse of the party going on "behind the mirror", where the guests wear significantly less and a host of unusual characters hold sway, including a strange woman dressed in white and attended by young girls and a severe dominatrix-like woman offering Eucharist in an eroticized priest's outfit. As the video progresses, the guests behind the mirror give in more and more to lust and hedonism, while the strange woman convulses as if giving birth. At the climax of the song, things suddenly change and the party behind the mirror beings to die down. The guests in the real world run from the mansion, leaving only the wait staff and a final image of the strange woman standing naked as if reborn. The video is filmed in location in Vienna, Austria. "Push the Limits" Director: Thomas Job The video for features a young man and woman in three different but related storylines. The two approach a two-player arcade machine set in an open field. Both of them pick a character to represent in the game, which appears to resemble kendo. They are shown putting on their armor and preparing themselves in the game, the boy dressed in black and the woman in white. Meanwhile, a third set of images shows the man and woman simulating sex in a bed that sits in the same field as the video game cabinets, but both are wearing simple masks with sad expressions implying the simulated acts are not entirely consensual. As the video progresses and the two kendo fighters duel, the bed scenes become more intense. The man gains the upper hand in both scenes but the woman fights back until black fighter falls. The couple walks away from the machine and the boy kneels before the girl in defeat. In the video game storyline, the white fighter removes their mask and it is revealed that the man played the white fighter the entire time. The woman is now lifeless on the floor and her armour dissolves, so does her own body too, leaving behind flower petals in the silhouette of her body. The video is filmed in location in South Africa, and Brazilian model Milene Zardo plays as both the woman and the kendo fighter. ==Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits== Song title Personnel External links "Turn Around" Director: Thomas Job The video is partly digitally animated, with the main vocals being sung by a semi-transparent animated head. The video has no strong theme and features many random clips from different settings from modern time (rocket takeoff, club dancing, middle-east stargazing). It has quite a lot of clips of women dancing, some of them without clothes, and even while it might seem to have been censored (using rotating balls or bubbles), the keen eye will easily see that this video is not safe for work. ==Voyageur== The third single from the album, "Following the Sun", is the only Enigma single not to have a music video accompanied with it. Song title Personnel External links "Voyageur" Director: Thomas Job In the video we follow a middle age woman on a night out. The woman moves in a very jerky way, and also influences anyone in her immediate vicinity to move the same way. She visits a restaurant, a nightclub and later a party. One of the stronger images in the video is where the woman goes past a crucifix, and turns around mimicking the way Jesus hangs on the cross. After proceeding to have a cuddle session with another woman visiting the party, she goes back home. Just outside her gate, she stops, takes out her earphones and starts moving normally. "Boum-Boum" Director: Charles Eames The song in the video is the "Chicane Club Version". It features yet again a young man and a very attractive lady in a modern city complete with shining skyscrapers. Both of them spend their time separate from each other during most of the day, and in the middle of the video they meet at a subway station. The two go shopping and sightseeing, as well as flirting with each other in a quiet building hallway. The video ends with both of them together in their apartment, holding each other's hands. ==15 Years After== Song title Personnel External links "Hello and Welcome" Director: Thomas Job The video alternates between German boxer Felix Sturm's training, and clips of Sturm's battles with his opponents in the ring. With every punch that Sturm lands on his opponent, the screen turns into a tinted red. At the very end of the video, a white horse that looks similar to the unicorn from Return to Innocence appears for a brief instant. ==A Posteriori== The album was released in DVD form in December 2006, which features the entire album in 5.1 surround with only galactic images in kaleidoscope style and geometric patters. ==Seven Lives, Many Faces== Song title Personnel External links "Seven Lives" The video was largely based on clips taken from the previous music videos, such as Push the Limits and Mea Culpa. "La Puerta del Cielo" The video was largely based on clips taken from the previous music video, such as Age of Loneliness. ==MMX (The Social Song)== Song title Personnel External links "MMX (The Social Song)" Director: Aristides Moreno Produced: Steadycamline Since the song itself is a collaboration by the fans themselves, the video was also made of clips submitted by fans all over the world. On January 24, 2011 an ultimate event for the single was announced on the official website and a video contest was set up. After a month of submissions and votes, Aristides Moreno (Steadycamline) was finally announced as the winner of the video contest and became its official director. The video shows many random people at random places all over the world lifting up their heads. Later, the woman, who resembles an angel figure, explodes a yellow ball, and people start floating in the midair. Throughout the video there is a blue light flying across the sky, which is usually interpreted as the idea of music or social connection. ==The Fall of a Rebel Angel== Song title Personnel External links "Sadeness (Part II)" The song features Anggun. "Amen" The song features Aquilo. ==Additional information== Label: Virgin Catalog#: 50999 227124 9 3 Format: DVD, DVD-Video, Album, PAL, Regionfree Country: Europe Released: 28 Nov 2008 Genre: Electronic, Pop, Rock, Stage & Screen Style: New Age, Abstract, Disco, Lo-Fi, Ambient Artwork By - Dirk Rudolph Film Director [Director] - Thomas Job (2) Other Artist [Photos] - Rosemary Robenn, Vinod Kotiya Producer - Michael Cretu Written-By, Lyrics By - Andru Donalds (tracks: 8,9), Margarita Roig (tracks: 7,11), Michael Cretu (tracks: 1-13) Comes in standard (black) DVD-case with insert.

"J'attendrai" (French for "I will wait") is a popular French song first recorded by Rina Ketty in 1938. It became the big French song during World War II; a counterpart to Lale Andersen's "Lili Marleen" in Germany and Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again" in Britain. "J'attendrai" is a French version of the Italian song "Tornerai" (Italian for "You Will Return") ISWC: T-005.001.119-2 composed by Dino Olivieri (music) and Nino Rastelli (lyrics) in 1936, said to be inspired from the Humming Chorus of Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly. It was first recorded in 1937 by both Carlo Buti and Trio Lescano (accompanied by the Italian jazz quartet Quartetto Jazz Funaro),Ricordando i Trii Vocali: Quartetto Jazz Funaro (Italian only), Triivocali.weebly.com, Retrieved 2015-06-24), and become a hit in Italy. The French lyrics were written by Louis Poterat, and "J'attendrai" became an instant success. Rina Ketty's version was followed the same year by one of Belgian chanteuse Anne Clercy, and both Tino Rossi and Jean Sablon recorded it in 1939. When France was occupied in 1940, it quickly became the big French war song, with the love song's title being interpreted as meaning waiting for peace and/or liberation. The French version of this Italian song became so well known across Europe that it was often called "J'attendrai" even when recorded instrumentally, such the two versions recorded by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli in 1938, or referred to as the original source when sung in other languages, such as Richard Tauber's British "Au revoir" (1945, with lyrics by Bruce Sievier) and Bing Crosby's and Hildegarde's American "I’ll Be Yours" (both 1945 with lyrics by Anna Sosenko). The Crosby version was recorded on December 18, 1945, for Decca Records with Camarata and His Orchestra. There were also German versions ("Komm zurück", lyrics by Ralph Maria Siegel), sung by both Rudi Schuricke and Horst Winter on recordings made in 1939. The song became known in Denmark as "Kun for dig" (1939, lyrics by Victor Skaarup); in Norway as "Kun for deg" (1939); in Sweden as "Blott för dig'" (1940, lyrics by Tor Bergström); in Poland as "Czekam cię" (recorded in 1939 by Mieczysław Fogg with lyrics by Andrzej Włast); in Czechoslovakia as "Věřím vám" (recorded by both Rudolf Antonín Dvorský and Oldřich Kovář with lyrics by Karel Kozel); and in Lithuania as "Ak, sugrįžk" (with lyrics by Adelė Lenartavičienė). ==Later recordings== A popular version of the song was recorded by Dalida for her 1975 album J'attendrai. Single issued on January 12, 1976. The following year, she covered the song again for her disco album Coup de chapeau au passé: that version reached the Dutch charts on February 21, 1976. It has status of first disco hit in France. Inspired by Django Reinhardt's version, many stars of the European Gypsy Jazz scene have recorded the song, including Raphaël Faÿs (2000), Fapy Lafertin (1996), Angelo Debarre (2007), and Jimmy Rosenberg (2000). Other Gypsy Jazz versions have been recorded by North American groups such as The Hot Club of Detroit, The Hot Club of San Francisco, and Hot Club Sandwich. French singer Raquel Bitton sings "J'attendrai" on her album Boleros. Italian singer Raffaella Carrá covered the song in Italian, titled Tornerai in her 1976 album Forte Forte Forte, and later in Spanish, titled Volveré. Canadian singer Jill Barber covered the song in her French album Chansons, which was released in 2013. A recent version of this song was recorded by Italian singer Antonella Ruggiero on the album Souvenir d'Italie, released in 2007. In 2010, Greek singer Vicky Leandros recorded this song in a new German version entitled "Wenn Du Gehst" ("When you leave"), which is included in her album Zeitlos ("Timeless"). In 2016, American musician and former member of Neutral Milk Hotel, Julian Koster, recorded this song with its original title "J'Attrendai", for his podcast, The Orbiting Human Circus (of the Air). American jazz guitarist Robert Allena released a single of this song in 2020. ==In film== Recordings of "Tornerai" / "J'attendrai" have been popular for film and TV soundtracks since the early 1950s, being heard in more than 15 films and TV series, among them Lilacs in the Spring (1954), Arch of Triumph (1984), Das Boot (1981), A Good Year (2006) and Allied (2016). J'attendrai is the main song in Arch of Triumph, a 1984 film starring Anthony Hopkins and Lesley-Anne Down. ==Other uses== The tune of "J'attendrai" served a Yiddish song sung in Auschwitz "Komm zu mir".Lider fun di ghettos un lagern (songs of the ghettos and concentration camps), Congress for Jewish Culture inc. (New York 1948), p. 407 (text on p. 219) The intro of "J'attendrai" is also heard in a sleeping quarters of the underground barracks of Fort Eben- Emael, Belgium. The room shows visitors what sleeping quarters of regular soldiers looked like in 1940, when Belgium was attacked by Nazi-Germany. The song was used in a French television commercial for car manufacturer Renault in 2007. The song was also used in the novel Love From Paris by Alexandra Potter, to signify the love between two characters. In Pierre Assouline's WWII novel Lutetia, the J'attendrai is sung defiantly by political prisoners held by the Nazis at the Cherche-Midi prison in Paris. == Charts == Dalida version Chart (1976) Peakposition (SNEP) (CIDD) ==References== ==External links== * Du Temps des cerises aux Feuilles mortes - Un site sur la chanson française de 1870 à 1945 - audio file of Rina Ketty Version * Category:Dalida songs Category:1930 songs Category:1938 songs Category:French pop songs

It consists mainly of three islands located to the west of Greater Kinmen and immediately to the east of Xiamen (Amoy) of the People's Republic of China: Lesser Kinmen (; Pīnyīn: Xiǎojīnmén), Dadan, and Erdan. ==Name== According to tradition, Greater Kinmen/Kinmen Island and Lesser Kinmen/Lieyu were originally one island. Lieyu was split-off ( lie) from Kinmen Island, hence the name Lieyu. ==History== The first people arrived from the Central Plains of China during the Tang Dynasty and quickly developed the island. The population quickly multiplied. During the Tang Dynasty, a horse pasture was set up on the island. During the Song Dynasty, a salt works was constructed. During the Ming Dynasty, a frontier command was constructed. During the Qing Dynasty, a garrison was sent to protect against Japanese pirates. thumb|WWII monument of 7 martyrs fending a fortress of Great Wall of China in 1933, built in 1966 On July 26, 1950, ROC forces on the Dadan Island (Tatan), in total 298 soldiers, repulsed an attack (大擔島戰役) from a People's Liberation Army force of 700 soldiers that landed on the island.

Aeimnestus () is an Ancient Greek word, also spelled and that means "unforgettable", literally "of everlasting memory". It was the name of multiple revered Greek warriors. A Spartan soldier Aeimnestus killed the Persian general Mardonius by crushing Mardonius' head with a rock during the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC. The event was described in Book 9 of the Histories of Herodotus.Herodotus, Histories, ix. 64 Plutarch calls the same man "Arimnestus" ().Plutarch, Aristides 19 Another Spartan by the same name led three hundred men against the whole Messenian army in the Messenian Wars; both he and his company were killed to the last man. A Plataean general Arimnestos led his city's host in the battles of Marathon and Plataea. ==Notes== Category:Ancient Spartan soldiers Category:5th-century BC Greek people Category:Ancient Greeks killed in battle Category:People of the Greco- Persian Wars

The Babcock Model describes a mechanism which can explain magnetic and sunspot patterns observed on the Sun. == History == The modern understanding of sunspots starts with George Ellery Hale, who linked magnetic fields and sunspots. Hale suggested that the sunspot cycle period is 22 years, covering two polar reversals of the solar magnetic dipole field. Horace W. Babcock proposed in 1961 a qualitative model for solar dynamics. On the largest scale, the Sun supports an oscillatory magnetic field, with a quasi-steady periodicity of 22 years. This oscillation is known as the Babcock-Leighton dynamo cycle, amounting to the oscillatory exchange of energy between poloidal and toroidal solar magnetic field ingredients. == Babcock-Leighton dynamo cycle == A half dynamo cycle corresponds to a single sunspot solar cycle. At solar maximum, the external poloidal dipolar magnetic field is near its dynamo-cycle minimum strength, but an internal toroidal quadrupolar field, generated through differential rotation, is near its maximum strength. At this point in the dynamo cycle, buoyant upwelling within the convective zone forces emergence of a toroidal magnetic field through the photosphere, giving rise to patches of concentrated magnetic field corresponding to sunspots. During the solar cycle’s declining phase, energy shifts from the internal toroidal magnetic field to the external poloidal field, and sunspots diminish in number. At solar-cycle minimum, the toroidal field is, correspondingly, at minimum strength, sunspots are few in number, and the poloidal field is at its maximum strength. With the rise of the next 11 year sunspot cycle, magnetic energy shifts back from the poloidal to the toroidal field, but with a polarity that is opposite to the previous cycle. The process carries on continuously, and in an idealized, simplified scenario, each 11 year sunspot cycle corresponds to a change in the overall polarity of the Sun's large-scale magnetic field. == References == Category:Stellar phenomena Category:Solar phenomena

"I Am One" is the debut single by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins. It was the band's first ever release and remains the only single issued by the band with co-writing credits to both Billy Corgan and James Iha. It charted on the UK Singles Chart at a peak position of number 73. Two recordings of the song were released. One was recorded in 1990 and was the Pumpkins' first release and first on Limited Potential. This recording was financed with the money from Corgan's college tuition fund left by his grandmother.Fricke, David. "Smashing Pumpkins Look Back in Wonder ". Rolling Stone Magazine. December 20, 2000. "I Am One" was re-recorded for Gish and a new single was released on Caroline Records and Hut Recordings. Corgan later stated his regret with not re-working the song for Gish, as the two versions are nearly identical. A video for the song was also filmed, but never released (until 2001) due to the band being unhappy with the result. Footage from the video was instead used on the long form video, Vieuphoria, the long version of the music video was released on the Greatest Hits Video Collection. With only 1500 copies pressed, the release is highly sought after by collectors. There are apparently three test pressings also in existence, two owned by Billy Corgan and one was formally owned by Limited Potential owner, Mike Potential. "I Am One" features a doubled guitar solo – a technique later used on Pumpkins songs like "Ava Adore", "Tarantula", and "Bring the Light". The music video features a live performance by the band. == Performance == In live performance (starting around the release of Siamese Dream) Corgan would often improvise a speech during the extended bass break; as a result the song could extend to 8–10 minutes in length. The speech section is known among fans as "the I Am One rant". These rants were criticized, sometimes even by the other band members, due to their abrasive nature. Jimmy Chamberlin considered these rants to be "art-breakdown". The rants were apparently based around the erosion of the belief structure in America's youth, and Corgan has stated they were the gestation for many ideas he later explored on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Some of the rants contained lyrics for future songs, most notably "Zero". The recording of "I Am One" on Vieuphoria / Earphoria features one such rant. When the band released their greatest hits compilation, Rotten Apples, in 2001, "I Am One" was one of the few singles that did not make the cut (the others were "Tristessa", "Rocket", "Thirty-Three", "The End Is the Beginning Is the End", and on American copies of the album, "Try, Try, Try"). == Track listing == == Single personnel == === The Smashing Pumpkins === * Billy Corgan – vocals, guitar, production * James Iha (as "James" on Limited Potential) – guitar, photography (Gish version) * D'arcy Wretzky – bass guitar * Jimmy Chamberlin – drums === Technical personnel === * Kerry Brown – production, CD single b-sides * Butch Vig – production, Gish version * Lynne Fischer – design, photography (Limited Potential) == References == == External links == * * Music video Category:1990 debut singles Category:The Smashing Pumpkins songs Category:1992 singles Category:Songs written by James Iha Category:Songs written by Billy Corgan Category:Song recordings produced by Billy Corgan Category:Song recordings produced by Butch Vig Category:Virgin Records singles Category:Music videos directed by Kevin Kerslake Category:1990 songs

Utah Tech University (UT), formerly known as Dixie State University (DSU) and similar names, is a public university in St. George, Utah. The university offers master's degrees, bachelor's degrees, and associate degrees. As of fall 2022, there are 12,556 students enrolled at UT. The institution began as St. George Stake Academy, founded in 1911 by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (LDS Church). Later it became a state school of the Utah System of Higher Education. Until 2000, it was a two-year junior college named Dixie College. In 2021, after controversy over the use of the term "Dixie" in the school's name, the state legislature approved the bill that allowed the school to become Utah Tech University. UT's 16 athletic teams compete in NCAA Division I and are collectively known as the Utah Tech Trailblazers. Utah Tech reclassified to Division I in 2019 and joined the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in the 2020–2021 season. Previously, the Trailblazers competed in NCAA Division II, with the football team being part of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, while the Women's Swimming team competed in the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference, and the school's 14 other athletic teams competed in the PacWest Conference. ==History== The institution was founded by the LDS Church on September 19, 1911, as St. George Stake Academy. The academy, located in a region called "Utah's Dixie" by Brigham Young and local settlers, was renamed to Dixie Academy in 1913 Dixie Normal College in 1916, and Dixie Junior College in 1923. In 1933, the LDS Church discontinued its support of the college, and rather than give up on it, the local citizenry came together and maintained the school's operation through donations and labor for two years. In 1935, the State Board of Education took over the funding for the school, but wanted to split the college students from the high school students, with the high school moving under the direction of Washington County. The community resisted, feeling that the approximate 200 college students and similar number of high school students needed to be combined to provide a good-sized student body for the many social and academic programs. Another concern was that the county did not have the funds to build a new high school. Between 1935 and 1963 there were close calls when various state leaders proposed closing the college, but the local citizens were willing to donate to keep it alive. These local citizens, particularly the Dixie Education Association, raised the funds to purchase four blocks of land on 700 East and 100 South for a new campus. They presented that land to the state which, in turn, agreed to fund a few buildings for a new campus there. In 1957, the gymnasium was finished and by 1963 four other buildings were ready for college students with the high school students remaining on the downtown campus. In 1970 the name was changed from Dixie Junior College to Dixie College. On September 7, 2007, Dixie State College Board of Trustees members announced that Dixie State College of Utah would petition the University of Utah to become the University of Utah–St. George. The proposal was approved by the Dixie State College Board of Trustees on October 7, 2007, and by the University of Utah Board of Trustees on October 14, 2007; however, this did not come to fruition. In 2011, a bill was drafted for the review of the Utah State Legislature and the Utah State Governor to support Dixie State College's transition to university status. The institution contracted with a local advertising firm, Sorenson Advertising, to investigate names for the institution as a university and found that alumni overwhelmingly supported the name Dixie while less than half of faculty/staff supported the name Dixie (p. 48). Controversy over the name Dixie has arisen many times.Dixie (Utah) In December 2020, the university's board of trustees unanimously voted to recommend removing the word Dixie from the school's name. In 2013, the Utah Legislature changed the status of the institution from a college to a university and named it Dixie State University. Governor Gary Herbert signed the bill into law in a ceremony on campus, calling the new university into existence on February 16, 2013. President Stephen Nadauld of Dixie State University and others recognized this step as the fulfillment of the dream of the original Mormon pioneers of the area to have a university for their communities. That same year the Board of Trustees approved a student- driven proposed campus-wide tobacco ban. The ban prohibits all tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes. The ban went into effect on January 1, 2014. Also in 2013, Dixie State University student Indigo Klabanoff pushed for the creation of a sorority and its financial support. DSU did not approve it or the creation of clubs with Greek letters in their names (excepting honor societies), because they said introducing Greek Life properly requires significant funding and the inherent "partying" stereotype of a Greek system was not a culture they wanted to encourage on campus. ==="Dixie" name, Confederacy symbols, and mascot changes=== The Dixie College sports teams were called the Rebels starting in 1952 and a Confederate soldier was used as a mascot starting in 1956. Until 1994, the university used the Confederate Battle Flag as a school symbol (and for a time, still used a reminiscent pattern of stripes with stars after dropping it), and the yearbook was called The Confederate. The Salt Lake Tribune described the yearbooks containing "troubling photos, some as late as the early 1990s", in which "White students sing in black face, dress as Confederate soldiers, stage slave auctions and affectionately display the Confederate battle standard." In 2009, the school dropped its "Rodney the Rebel" mascot and "the Rebels" as the name for the sports teams, renaming the teams to Red Storm, with a bull mascot. The sports team name was eventually changed to Trailblazers with Brooks the Bison as the mascot in 2016. The process of changing the university's name began in June 2020 during the George Floyd protests in the midst of the 2020–2022 racial unrest and the Black Lives Matter movement. In December 2020, both the university board of trustees and the Utah Board of Higher Education unanimously voted to recommend a name change to the state legislature, which established the name in state law. Although the legislature delegated the task to a committee that collected suggestions and decided on Utah Polytechnic State University, the Dixie board of trustees recommended Utah Tech University after the original proposed name received negative community input. The Utah System of Higher Education voted unanimously to recommend the name change to Utah Tech University which the Utah State Legislature approved with the condition that the main St. George campus will be named the "Dixie Campus" of UT. The name change took effect July 1, 2022. === 2014 termination of a professor === In December 2014, theater professor Varlo Davenport received a notice of dismissal and termination of employment in connection with a student complaint of an alleged assault, but because of his tenured status he was allowed to request a termination appeal hearing as outlined in (then) DSU Policy. A reinstatement petition was started by students that ultimately garnered over 1,400 signatures, and many letters were also sent to the State Board of Regents from the community and faculty members. A faculty review board convened, and after hearing testimony and evidence from both sides, recommended Davenport's reinstatement. In the final review of the hearing evidence and testimony, University President Richard Williams found the faculty review board's recommendation to be contrary to the information presented. He rejected the recommendation and upheld the termination. Members of the faculty review board subsequently met with President Williams, pressing for a change in his decision. They were unsuccessful. The City of St. George filed Class B misdemeanor charges in Justice Court and a trial was held in 2016, with the jury finding the professor not guilty. ===2015 accusation of censorship=== In 2015, in accordance with school policy, three students requested permission from the university to post fliers with satirical images of former U.S. President George W. Bush and Argentine revolutionary leader Che Guevara on campus. The university disapproved the request because the fliers violated school policy by mocking people. The three students filed a lawsuit against Dixie State University in federal court, stating that the university violated their Constitutional right to free speech with an overly restrictive and overly vague school policy. Shortly thereafter, President Williams announced that all campus policies that infringed upon free expression and free speech were temporarily rescinded and new directives were being drafted.Lang-Byrd, Mary Lou. "Dixie State University to Revise Policies to Protect Free Speech ". The Washington Free Beacon. May 6, 2015. A few months later, Dixie State University settled the lawsuit with the three plaintiffs involved in the case.Kessler, Mori. "Dixie State settles free speech lawsuit; students get $50,000 ". St George News. September 18, 2015. The university agreed to pay the students $50,000 total in damages and attorney fees. The university also agreed to revise its speech policies that the three plaintiffs said were restrictive and vague. ==Campus== The primary campus of Utah Tech University, known as the Dixie Campus, is in St. George, Utah. The Hurricane Education Center campus extension located in Hurricane, Utah, is 20 minutes to the east. At the center of UT campus is the Encampment Mall, where Mormon pioneers first camped when they arrived in 1861 to settle and grow cotton in the desert. Utah Tech has also expanded its campus to surrounding communities by adding new community education centers that offer concurrent enrollment and college-level classes. * Kanab Center, located at Kanab High School in Kanab, UT. * Water Canyon Center, located at Water Canyon High School in Hildale, UT, opened in May 2022. * Panguitch Center, located at Panguitch High School in Panguitch, UT, opened in September 2022. The Utah State legislature granted Utah Tech over $55 million in 2022 to build a 120,000 square-foot General Classroom Building which is set to open in fall 2025. The building will have 45 classrooms, 105 faculty offices, and 20 study rooms. ===Atwood Innovation Plaza=== The Atwood Innovation Plaza on Utah Tech's campus provides resources to students and the St. George community at large for business and idea development. Students and community members have access to free consultations and an incubator workspace through the Business Resource Center, tools to create prototypes and perform small-run manufacturing through the Makerspace, assistance with research, patents, trademarks, and copyrights through Innovation Guidance & Solutions, and help getting businesses off the ground through the Startup Incubator. Since opening, the Atwood Innovation Plaza has helped to submit 195 patents with 100 of those patents being granted along with helping to secure 104 trademarks and 22 copyrights. ==Academics== As of June 2021, Utah Tech University offers 242 academic programs, including 4 master's degrees, 53 bachelor's degrees with 70 different emphases, 18 associate degrees, 45 minors, and 52 certificate and endorsement options. On January 26, 2018, the university added its first graduate degree program, a Master of Accountancy. The university is set to offer its first doctoral degree, a clinical doctorate in occupational therapy, after it was approved by the Utah Board of Higher Education in July 2022. The program is currently being reviewed by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities for final approval. If the program is approved, the first cohort will start in fall 2023 and graduate in spring 2026. The university is organized into seven academic colleges: * College of the Arts * College of Business * College of Education * College of Health Sciences * College of Humanities and Social Sciences * College of Science, Engineering, and Technology * University College ===Polytechnic academic model=== In 2016, Utah Tech made the decision to pivot towards becoming a comprehensive polytechnic university. A polytechnic model was selected because it relies on the university's instructional model of "active learning. active life," that focuses on career preparation and engagement in regional economic and workforce growth and development. UT specializes in three core principles of a polytechnic university, including active and applied student learning, student career preparation and development, and industry collaboration. ===Booth Honors Program=== The mission of the Booth Honors Program at Utah Tech is to “attract a diverse community of highly capable and motivated individuals who challenge one another in a lifelong pursuit of learning.” The Honors Program allows students access to priority registration, scholarship opportunities that provide students with research and travel grants, and small, discussion formatted classes that cover a wide range of topics, like HON 3010: Science and Nature Writing or HON 3010: Super Heroes and Citizenship. Students involved in the Honors Program are also granted access to an exclusive honors space in the Holland Centennial Commons, which serves as a spot for students to study, read, meet and socialize with other Honors students. ==Student life== Utah Tech University's Student Association (UTSA) is a federated student administrative body overseeing the functions, funding, and promotion of official student organizations. Executive and legislative power is primarily vested in an elected Executive Council, the President's Cabinet, and the Student Senate. Student clubs interact with the UTSA governing bodies primarily through non-elected Club Representatives. Club Representatives work on behalf of the following organizational categories: Academic Clubs, Student Organizations, Non-Traditional Clubs, Multicultural and Diversity Clubs, Health Science Clubs, and Athletic and Recreation Clubs. All Executive Council members and most Managers receive some sort of financial aid in return for their work. Various responsibilities fall to UTSA including the planning of most on-campus events, charity and service work, and relations between university students and the school's faculty and surrounding community. Any student is able to apply for any position in UTSA, and if chosen is asked to maintain good academic and community standing, while abiding by the university's other rules and bylaws. The UTSA Inter-Club Council (ICC) comprises all the university club presidents and UTSA's Club Council. ICC meetings are held bi-weekly and club presidents are encouraged to attend. Utah Tech University has over 85 clubs for students to join, including the Hiking Club, Japanese Culture Club, Trailgazers Astronomy Club, and the Healthy Trailblazers Coalition. ===Housing=== Utah Tech provides students with single student and family student housing options. Single student housing includes Campus View Suites I, Campus View Suites II, Abby Apartments, and Chancellor Apartments. Family student housing includes Tech View Apartments and Morgan Apartments. Campus View Suites I & II offer students access to a fitness room, community kitchens, a basketball court, a pickleball court, a sand volleyball court, barbecue areas, a hammock garden and Brooks’ Stop Grill & Market. Campus View Suites III is set to open in fall 2024 to accommodate the growing student population. ===Outdoor recreation=== With 300 days of sunshine, an average temperature of 77 degrees, and 0 annual inches of snowfall, outdoor recreation is a popular student activity at Utah Tech, with many participating in activities like hiking, rock climbing, and biking. The university is a 50-minute drive from Zion National Park, a 2-hour drive from Bryce Canyon National Park, and a 20-minute drive from Snow Canyon State Park. ===Greek Life=== Students of Utah Tech University started a chapter of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, the first official fraternity in the Saint George area in 2019, and has since been operational. ==Athletics== Utah Tech University competes in NCAA Division I as a full member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). Previously, Dixie played in the Intermountain Collegiate Athletic Conference. The teams are collectively known as the Utah Tech University Trailblazers (new Trailblazers nickname for then DSU was unveiled on April 11, 2016.) Ken Beazer serves as Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and is in his first year replacing former director Jason Boothe. During Boothe's his first seven years at the helm, (then) DSU continued to establish itself as a powerful NCAA Division II program as it experienced high levels of success both on and off the courts and fields. In July 2020, Dixie State began the multi-year reclassification process to NCAA Division I. The Trailblazers began competition against Division I opponents in the 2020–21 season in the WAC, though the football program competed as a FCS independent for a single season, as the WAC re-established sponsorship of football. After the 2022 season, the WAC merged its football league with that of another FCS group, the ASUN Conference, forming the football-only United Athletic Conference, with Utah Tech as one of its nine inaugural members. The Trailblazers have won 16 PacWest Championships, 5 PacWest Community Engagement Awards, and have appeared in 34 NCAA Division II tournaments. The men's basketball team appeared in the sweet sixteen in 2011 and the women's volleyball appeared in 2014. The women's softball team has appeared in the College World Series three times and finished as runner up of the 2015 College World Series. The athletic department as a whole has completed 8,500 hours of community service since 2010 and held a grade point average of 2.97 during the 2016–2017 academic year. The Trailblazers compete in: *Football *Basketball *Soccer *Baseball *Softball *Swimming *Tennis *Cross Country *Volleyball *Distance Track The Trailblazers' mascot is Brooks the Bison, who made his first appearance on September 1, 2016, during half-time at the Fall 2016 football season-opener against New Mexico Highlands in Greater Zion Stadium (formerly known as Legend Solar Stadium). The football team went on to win that game, marking its first season-opening win since August 2009. The mascot is named after the first student in the institution's history, Samuel Brooks, who slept on the steps outside what was then St. George Stake Academy to be the first to pay the $10 tuition the next morning. The descended family of Samuel Brooks sat in the stands and was recognized when Brooks the Bison first arrived in the stadium. The Utah Tech student section is called "The Stampede" and is run by the Utah Tech Student Association. The Trailblazers soccer team, won the PacWest 2016 championship by going 13–0, for the first time in school history. They also earned 11 PacWest Postseason Honors. Bradley Tella earned Goalkeeper of the year, and Bryan Baugh was named First team all-conference. ===Athletic facilities=== The Trailblazers football, soccer, and track and field teams compete in Greater Zion Stadium, formerly known as Hansen Stadium, and shortly known as Legend Solar Stadium. On April 29, 2016, Legend Solar announced it a donation of $10 million in cash and trade toward the renovation of DSU's stadium. The west grandstand was previously named "Hansen Grandstand" in honor of the George T. Hansen family, who funded the construction of the stadium in the 1980s and who support the renaming and renovation of Legend Solar Stadium. In April 2018, Legend Solar and Dixie State parted ways due to financial troubles for the solar company. As of January 2020, the Dixie State stadium is now known as "Greater Zion Stadium" since the school reached an agreement with Washington County, Utah that included naming rights for the stadium as well as planned expansions to UT's athletic facilities. The stadium name comes from the branding of the county's tourism promotion agency as the Greater Zion Convention and Tourism Office. The planned renovations include the construction of an east grandstand (completed in 2019); an addition to the top of the west grandstand for banquet rooms, executive boxes, and new press box (completed in 2022); a renovation below the west grandstand to create new locker rooms and training facilities (in progress as of October 2020); a new scoreboard and video board (completed in October 2020) and the installation of solar panels and a 1,500-kilowatt system in the stadium and throughout UT's campus. The Trailblazers basketball teams play in the Burns Arena, named after Dixie alumnus and donor M. Anthony Burns. The arena contains over 4,700 permanent seats, and recently underwent multiple upgrades, including adding a new large-scale video board and scoreboard hanging above mid-court (funds donated by Mountain America Credit Union). UT's women's volleyball plays in the Old Gymnasium, located in the Student Activities Center. The Old Gymnasium has seating for just under 1,500 spectators, and offers close, intimate views from nearly every seat. Utah Tech University baseball has called Bruce Hurst Field their home since 1994. Named after St. George native and former Major League pitcher Bruce Hurst, the stadium has seen its share of great teams in both the junior college and NCAA Division II ranks. The field features a natural grass surface in the infield and outfield. Fences are 12 feet high from the foul poles to the batter's eye in center, which extends to 20 feet high. Hurst Field sits 2,500 capacity, with a reserved section of seats in the main seating bowl. Nine field-level boxes were added in 2008 right behind home plate to complement four boxes just beyond the first base dugout. The complex also hosts multiple high school baseball tournaments and summer league games. Utah Tech University softball has called Karl Brooks Field its home since construction of the Cooper Diamonds. The field has played home to multiple runs for the Trailblazers toward Pacific West Conference and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championships. The complex hosted the 2009 West Regional and Super Regional during DSU's run to the Division II College Softball Championships. Utah Tech University women's swim team competes in the Human Performance Center which holds a 50-meter Olympic-sized swimming pool, grandstands that can hold a capacity of 750 attendees, a large-scale video board, 2 movable bulk heads, two 3-meter and two 1-meter diving springboards, and a 20-person spa. The Human Performance Center also houses a multi-story gym, multiple basketball courts, an indoor soccer court, a large climbing wall, pickleball courts, indoor/outdoor running track, classrooms and labs, and more. Utah Tech University golf teams call Entrada Golf Course their home. The off-campus course is known for its breathtaking scenery due to its location near Snow Canyon State Park. Utah Tech's tennis team plays at the Utah Tech Tennis Courts. Their old courts were demolished in 2018 to make room for the construction of the Human Performance Center and a larger parking lot. The new courts were constructed in place of an old parking lot just a block West of campus. The Frank Habibian Wrestling and Athletic Center was constructed in 2010 and houses a 6,400-square-foot weight training facility for UT student-athletes, along with 4,800 square feet dedicated to youth and college club wrestling. In addition, the Habibian Center houses locker-room facilities for the men and women soccer teams, two coaches' offices, and one classroom. Utah Tech Athletics recently entered into a five-year partnership with dōTERRA to create the dōTERRA Nutrition Center. The center will be located next to UT's weight training facility in the Habibian Athletic Center and will provide student-athletes with the nutritional resources they need to compete at the Division I level. ==Notable alumni== * Mike Affleck, professional football player * Nolan D.

Robert Michael Kielty (last name pronounced KELT-ee) (born August 5, 1976) is an American former professional baseball outfielder. He played for the Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland Athletics, and Boston Red Sox during a Major League Baseball (MLB) career that lasted from 2001 to 2007. In his final MLB season, Kielty won the 2007 World Series over the Colorado Rockies as a member of the Red Sox. ==College (1994–98)== Kielty graduated from Canyon Springs High School (Moreno Valley, California) in 1994. After high school, he attended the University of Southern California from 1994 to 1995, Riverside City College from 1996 to 1997, and the University of Mississippi from 1997 to 1998. In 1998 Kielty played collegiate summer baseball for the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL). He was named league MVP after leading the league in batting average (.384) and RBI (45). Kielty was inducted into the CCBL Hall of Fame in 2005. Kielty was also named 1998 Summer Player of the Year by Baseball America. In , he was signed by the Minnesota Twins as an amateur free agent. ==Professional career (1999–2011)== ===Minnesota Twins (1999–2003)=== In 1999, Kielty began his minor league career with the Quad City River Bandits of the Midwest League. An eye problem forced him to miss more than a month of action (May 21-June 24), and he was disabled with a strained right hamstring (August 25-September 3). In only 69 games, Kielty batted .294 with 13 HR and 43 RBI and 12 SB. He homered in 3 consecutive games from August 14–16. Kielty was promoted to the New Britain Rock Cats of the Eastern League in 2000. He hit a grand slam against Portland on April 8, and another against Erie on May 26. He played in the Eastern League all-star game held in Bowie, Maryland. Kielty led the team in home runs (14), was second in RBI (65) and third in hits (118). His 98 walks led the league. He also had a .262 batting average for the season. On August 26, Kielty was promoted to the Salt Lake Stingers of the Pacific Coast League, where he played in only nine games, and hit .242 with 2 RBI. He was rated the Twins eighth best prospect, and the ninth best prospect in the Eastern League. Kielty then began the 2001 season with the Twins' newly relocated Pacific Coast League team in Edmonton with the Edmonton Trappers. Then in early April, the Minnesota Twins purchased his contract and Kielty made his Major League debut on April 10 against the Detroit Tigers. The Twins optioned Kielty back down to Edmonton on April 21, but was recalled by the team on July 31. Kielty was demoted to Edmonton again on August 17, but then returned to the Twins on September 3 and played in 28 of the Twins' last 37 games. Overall with Edmonton, he finished with a .287 average, 12 HR and 50 RBI, while with Minnesota he hit .250 with 2 HR and 14 RBI. Kielty once again started the 2002 season in Edmonton, but only appeared in two games before the Twins called him up. Kielty made his post-season debut against the Oakland Athletics in the ALDS, going 0 for 4 in the series. He then went 0 for 3 with a walk and RBI in the ALCS against the Anaheim Angels. After the season, he won the Bill Boni Award as the Twins' most outstanding rookie, and he finished fourth in the American League for AL Rookie of the Year. Kielty finished the year with a .291 average, 12 HR and 46 RBI in 112 games. After the Twins traded right fielder Matt Lawton to the New York Mets midway through the 2001 season, the team frequently used a platoon of Kielty and Dustan Mohr in right field. Twins fans were so accustomed to seeing one or the other player in right field that they dubbed the duo "Dusty Kielmohr". This situation persisted until midway through the 2003 season. Kielty began the 2003 season with a 12-game hitting streak with the Twins, and had his first career two- homer game on April 17 against Detroit. He was traded mid-season to the Toronto Blue Jays. ===Toronto Blue Jays (2003)=== On July 16, Minnesota traded Kielty to the Toronto Blue Jays for left fielder Shannon Stewart. He made his Blue Jays debut the next day against the Boston Red Sox, going 3 for 4 with a home run and 3 RBI. Kielty's stats were .244, 13 HR and 57 RBI. In the off- season, the Blue Jays traded Kielty to the Oakland Athletics for starting pitcher Ted Lilly in a move that had been pre-planned by the two management groups as Athletics GM Billy Beane was a fan of Kielty's. ===Oakland Athletics (2004–07)=== Kielty was the Athletics' Opening Day left fielder in 2004, and through May 19, he was hitting .250 with 4 HR and 14 RBI. After that, he hit .190 with 3 HR and 17 RBI for the rest of the season, ending up with a .214 average, 7 HR and 31 RBI. Kielty rebounded in 2005 by hitting .263 with 10 HR and tied his career high with 57 RBI. Kielty missed 3 weeks in September due to an oblique muscle injury. In the 2005 season, Kielty, along with other members of the team, grew out his hair and refused to cut it. He earned the nickname "Ronny Mac" due to his similarity to McDonald's mascot, Ronald McDonald. Kielty cut his hair in the 2005 off-season, and began the 2006 season with the Athletics Triple A affiliate, the Sacramento River Cats. He spent 10 games there, batting .222 with 1 HR and 4 RBI before being recalled by the A's. With Oakland, he managed to play in 81 games, hitting .270 with 8 HR and 36 RBI, helping the club make the playoffs. Kielty did not appear in the Athletics series against the Minnesota Twins, in which the A's swept Minnesota, and he saw very limited action in the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers, as he went hitless in 2 at bats, as Oakland was swept. Kielty returned to Oakland for the 2007 season, however, he ran into injury problems, and played in just 13 games, hitting .200 with 0 HR and 3 RBI. On July 23, 2007, Kielty was designated for assignment by the Athletics to make room for closer Huston Street. He was released a week later. ===Boston Red Sox (2007)=== On August 6, the Boston Red Sox signed Kielty to a minor-league deal, setting up his potential promotion as a fourth outfielder. On August 18, the Red Sox called Kielty up from Triple-A Pawtucket, following the trade of Wily Mo Peña to the Washington Nationals. He hit .237 with 2 HR and 5 RBI in 10 games with Pawtucket. With Boston, Kielty saw limited action as the 4th outfielder, appearing in 20 games, hitting .231 with 1 HR and 9 RBI. He saw no action in the Red Sox playoff series against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, which the Red Sox swept. In the ALCS against the Cleveland Indians, Kielty played in games 1 and 5 due to his past success against Cleveland starter CC Sabathia, hitting .400 with 2 RBI, and helping the team advance to the World Series. On October 28, in his only World Series at bat and on the first pitch, Kielty hit a pinch-hit solo home run in Game 4 of the 2007 World Series, which turned out to be the series-clinching game winner in the 4–3 final over the Colorado Rockies. He is the 21st player to hit a pinch-hit home run in the World Series. The at-bat would turn out to be Kielty's final appearance in a major league game. On February 6, 2008, the Red Sox re-signed Kielty to a one-year non-guaranteed deal. On March 31, 2008, Kielty accepted an assignment to the Pawtucket Red Sox rather than opt for free agency. On April 25, Kielty had surgery on his left hand that would require an absence of 4 to 6 weeks. Kielty asked for and was granted his release from the Red Sox organization on July 13, 2008. ===Second stint with Twins (2008)=== Kielty re-entered the Twins system when he signed a minor league contract on August 11, 2008. He was assigned to the Rochester Red Wings, the Twins' Triple-A affiliate, and played three weeks with the ballclub. When the major league rosters expanded on September 1, Kielty was not among those called up to Minnesota. Since Kielty's contract had a clause that allowed him to leave the organization if he was not called up to the Twins, Kielty was granted his release from the Twins system prior to the Red Wings' final game of the season on September 1. ===New York Mets (2009)=== In January 2009, Kielty signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets. He was released on June 22. ===San Diego Padres (2011)=== On February 3, 2011, Kielty signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres. ==References== ==External links== * Bobby Kielty: It's gotta be the hair (Minnesota Public Radio) * Catching up with Kielty (Minnesota Public Radio) * Baseball Almanac Category:1976 births Category:Living people Category:American expatriate baseball players in Canada Category:Boston Red Sox players Category:Brewster Whitecaps players Category:Buffalo Bisons (minor league) players Category:Edmonton Trappers players Category:Lancaster Barnstormers players Category:Lancaster JetHawks players Category:Lowell Spinners players Category:Major League Baseball outfielders Category:Minnesota Twins players Category:New Britain Rock Cats players Category:Oakland Athletics players Category:Pawtucket Red Sox players Category:People from Moreno Valley, California Category:Quad Cities River Bandits players Category:Riverside City Tigers baseball players Category:Rochester Red Wings players Category:Sacramento River Cats players Category:Salt Lake Buzz players Category:San Antonio Missions players Category:Baseball players from Riverside County, California Category:Toronto Blue Jays players Category:Tucson Padres players Category:USC Trojans baseball players Category:Ole Miss Rebels baseball players

Theodore Roosevelt Lilly III (born January 4, 1976) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. Lilly attended Yosemite High School in Oakhurst, California, and Fresno City College. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Montreal Expos, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers. ==Professional career== ===Minor leagues=== Lilly was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 23rd round of the 1996 MLB draft. After two seasons in the Dodgers farm system, he was traded (along with Peter Bergeron, Wilton Guerrero and Jonathan Tucker) to the Montreal Expos for Hiram Bocachica, Mark Grudzielanek and Carlos Pérez. ===Montreal Expos=== Lilly made his MLB debut for the Expos on May 14, 1999, against the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitching one inning in relief. He made his first MLB start on September 19 against the Atlanta Braves. He pitched in nine games for the Expos, with three starts. ===New York Yankees=== Lilly was traded to the New York Yankees on March 17, 2000, along with Christian Parker, as a player to be named later in the 1999 trade that also sent Jake Westbrook to the Yankees in exchange for Hideki Irabu.Ted Lilly, baseball-reference.com, Retrieved on June 6, 2007. ===Oakland Athletics=== Lilly played for more than two years for the Yankees before being dealt to the Oakland Athletics in a three-team deal that included pitchers Jeff Weaver heading to New York and Jeremy Bonderman going to the Detroit Tigers. Lilly was in the starting rotation for Oakland, and pitched in the American League Division Series in both 2002 and 2003. ===Toronto Blue Jays=== Lilly was traded from the Athletics to the Toronto Blue Jays for Bobby Kielty. He made the American League All-Star team in 2004 as the Jays' lone representative that year. The highlight of his career as a Blue Jay was a start on August 23, 2004, against the Boston Red Sox. He pitched a complete-game shutout and struck out 13 batters in a three-hit 3–0 victory. Lilly was 15–13 with a 4.31 ERA and 160 strikeouts in 2006, exceeding his previous career-high for wins (12). He also equaled a career high for starts (32) and nearly matched his career highs in strikeouts and innings pitched. This season, he ranked first among the Jays' pitching staff in strikeouts and second only to Roy Halladay in wins (Halladay had a 16–5 record before a recurring elbow injury ended his season in late September). On August 21, 2006, in a game against the Oakland Athletics, Lilly was surrendering an early 8–0 lead in the 3rd inning when manager John Gibbons took him out of the game. With the score 8-5 and runners on 1st and 3rd, Lilly refused to give him the ball. Eventually, he reluctantly left the mound and later feuded with Gibbons in the locker room, though Gibbons maintained no punches were thrown. Lilly filed for free agency at the end of the 2006 season, and alongside Barry Zito, Jason Schmidt and Jeff Suppan, was one of the most sought-after free agent pitchers, partially due to the thin market for starting pitching. On the morning of December 6, 2006, he informed the Blue Jays that he would not be returning to the club, thus rejecting a four-year, $40 million deal. He cited a "change in scenery" as his reasoning. Later on that day, Lilly agreed to an identical four-year, $40 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, officially ending his tenure with the Blue Jays. ===Chicago Cubs=== 240px|thumb|Lilly pitching for the Cubs in 2007. In his first start for the Cubs, Lilly defeated the Cincinnati Reds in a strong outing, taking a no hitter into the fifth inning, and only yielding one earned run over seven innings.Wittenmyer, Gordon, In complete command , Chicago Sun- Times, Accessed on June 6, 2007 Lilly then was the starting pitcher for the Cubs home opening game at Wrigley Field on April 9, 2007. Lilly gave up three runs in six innings, but did not factor into the decision.Gano, Rick, Houston 5, Cubs 3, Yahoo! Sports, Retrieved on June 16, 2007. Lilly pitched well in April, lasting at least six innings in each of his five starts while never giving up more than three runs in a game posting a 2.18 ERA.Ted Lilly Stats, Yahoo! Sports, Retrieved on June 16, 2007. Lilly was prominent in a contentious series in Atlanta between the Cubs and the Atlanta Braves. In game one of the series, Alfonso Soriano hit three home runs in his first three at- bats as part of a Cubs 9–1 victory.Odom, Charles, Chi Cubs 9, Atlanta 1 , Yahoo! Sports, Retrieved on June 16, 2007 In the next game, Tim Hudson hit Soriano with a first-pitch fastball triggering home-plate umpire Tim Tschida to issue warnings to both teams.Odom, Charles, Atlanta 9, Chi Cubs 5, Yahoo! Sports, Retrieved on June 16, 2007 On the final game of the series, Lilly hit Édgar Rentería in the first inning, and was promptly thrown out of the ballgame by Jim Wolf.Henry, George, Atlanta 5, Chi Cubs 4, Yahoo! Sports, Retrieved on June 16, 2007 Lilly was not suspended for his actions in the game. In 2009, he was named to his second all-star game, as the Cubs lone representative. On June 13, 2010, Lilly took a no-hitter into the 9th against the Chicago White Sox. In the ninth, he gave up a lead off single to Juan Pierre, then was lifted for relief pitcher Carlos Mármol, who got the save, getting out of a bases loaded jam, for a 1-0 Cub victory. This was the longest outing that Lilly held a team hitless. The no-hitter would have been the first pitched at Wrigley Field since Milt Pappas in 1972. ===2009 World Baseball Classic=== Lilly was the starting pitcher in two games for Team USA in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. In the first game he faced Venezuela but was pulled after 36 pitches. Manager Davey Johnson wanted to get work for starter Jeremy Guthrie and as many relievers as possible. Lilly left with the United States trailing 1–0, thanks to the homer he served up to his former Cubs batterymate, Henry Blanco. His second start was against Puerto Rico, a game that Team USA would win with a David Wright two-run single in the bottom of the ninth. For his part Lilly gave up two home runs, the only two hits he gave up in his 3 innings. ===Los Angeles Dodgers=== On July 31, 2010, Lilly and Ryan Theriot were traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Blake DeWitt, Brett Wallach, and Kyle Smit.Gurnick, Ken, Dodgers get Lilly, Theriot for DeWitt, MLB.com, Retrieved on July 31, 2010 Lilly won his first five starts as a Dodger posting a 1.83 ERA. He finished his season with the Dodgers with a record of 7-4 and a 3.52 ERA in 12 starts, which included a complete game shutout on August 19 against the Colorado Rockies. On October 19, 2010, Lilly agreed to a 3-year, $33 million, contract with the Dodgers.LHP Lilly signs 3-year deal with Dodgers After a disappointing first half of the season in 2011, where he had an ERA of 4.79, Lilly pitched much better in the second half, with a 2.94 mark, also allowing only 9 homers in the second half after allowing 19 the first half. His final record was 12–14 with a 3.97 ERA in 33 starts. Lilly started the 2012 season with a 5–1 record and a 3.14 ERA in 8 starts. However, after struggling in his May 24 start, Lilly felt some pain in his shoulder and was placed on the disabled list. He made some rehab appearances with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga in July but suffered a setback and was shut down. He remained hopeful that he would return to the team and pitch out of the bullpen in September, however it was eventually decided that he would have surgery on his shoulder on September 21 and would not return to the mound that season. Lilly returned for spring training in 2013 but lost time due to illness and rainouts so he was unable to build up arm strength. He started the season on the disabled list, and made several rehab appearances in the minors. After injuries to starters Zack Greinke and Chris Capuano, Lilly was activated off the disabled list and returned to the rotation on April 24. He made 2 starts and then returned to the DL on May 3 with a strained rib cage muscle. He returned again on May 20 and he made 3 more starts before injuring his neck when he was bumped into by Kyle Blanks of the San Diego Padres in a game on June 4, which led to him returning to the disabled list. After a few more rehab starts, Lilly claimed he was having trouble recovering after starts and that he wanted to work out of the bullpen after his return from the DL. However, the Dodgers instead designated him for assignment on July 25 and released him on August 2. ===San Francisco Giants=== Just a few days after being released by the Dodgers, reports claimed Lilly was signed to a minor league contract by the San Francisco Giants on August 6. However, the Giants called off the deal after the two sides could not agree on a designated callup date. ===Retirement=== He had his nerve endings in his neck cauterized after the 2013 season in an attempt to stem the pain that had bothered him throughout the season and joined the Venezuela Winter League to try to show other MLB teams he could still play. However, persistent health problems led him to announce his retirement on November 27, 2013. The Cubs hired Lilly as a special assistant in March 2014. Lilly was eligible to be elected into the Hall of Fame in 2019, but received less than 5% of the vote and became ineligible for the 2020 ballot. ==Pitching style== As a finesse pitcher, Lilly relied more on above-average control and movement rather than elite velocity. He also demonstrated the ability to throw a variety of pitches: a changeup, two fastballs—a four-seamer and a two-seamer in the 86-90 mph range, as well as two breaking balls, a slider and a curveball. His slider was more frequently used against left-handed batters and his other off-speed pitches more against right-handed batters. His pitching motion was a straight-over- the-top delivery. ==Personal life== Lilly's wife, Natasha (Tasha), is a veterinarian. They are active advocates for animal humane societies,. Their son, Theodore Roosevelt Lilly IV, was born on March 14, 2010. In January 2015, Lilly was charged with three counts of vehicle insurance fraud. He accepted a plea bargain to pay a $2,500 fine, be on informal probation for two years, and perform 250 hours of community service. ==References== ==External links== Category:1976 births Category:Living people Category:Albuquerque Dukes players Category:Albuquerque Isotopes players Category:American expatriate baseball players in Canada Category:American League All-Stars Category:Chicago Cubs players Category:Columbus Clippers players Category:Fresno City Rams baseball players Category:Iowa Cubs players Category:Los Angeles Dodgers players Category:Major League Baseball pitchers Category:Montreal Expos players Category:National League All-Stars Category:Navegantes del Magallanes players Category:American expatriate baseball players in Venezuela Category:New York Yankees players Category:Oakland Athletics players Category:Ottawa Lynx players Category:People from Lomita, California Category:Baseball players from Los Angeles County, California Category:Peoria Chiefs players Category:Rancho Cucamonga Quakes players Category:San Antonio Missions players Category:San Bernardino Stampede players Category:Syracuse SkyChiefs players Category:Tampa Yankees players Category:Toronto Blue Jays players Category:World Baseball Classic players of the United States Category:Yakima Bears players Category:2009 World Baseball Classic players

"Monday Tuesday... Laissez moi danser" is a 1979-released disco single by French recording artist Dalida. It was a number one hit and the biggest success of the disco period in France. == Description == It topped the French chart in 1979, and had considerable success throughout Europe. The song was written by Toto Cutugno who offered it to Dalida and himself recorded it in Italian, under the title "Voglio l'Anima". Dalida recorded the song in three languages; French, Spanish; "Dejame Bailar", and English; "Let Me Dance Tonight". The English-language version was released on 7" single, backed with an English version of "Il Venait d'Avoir 18 Ans". The French version of the song was released on her 1979 album Dédié à toi. It is also featured on numerous posthomous compilation albums. A video was not made to accompany the original release; however, Dalida did make several TV appearances performing the song. A 2001 remix by French disco-artist Cerrone, which samples his 1981 track "Took Me So Long", is accompanied by a video, using archive footage and computer-generated effects. ===Track listings=== ==== 7" single ==== # "Monday Tuesday...

Higinbotham Province was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council. It existed as a two-member electorate from 1937 to 2006, with members serving alternating eight-year terms. It was considered a safe seat for the Liberal throughout its history, though it was won by Labor candidate Noel Pullen in Labor's landslide victory at the 2002 state election. It was abolished from the 2006 state election in the wake of the Bracks Labor government's reform of the Legislative Council. It was located in the south-east of Melbourne. In 2002, when it was last contested, it covered an area of 108 km2 and included the suburbs of Bentleigh, Black Rock, Brighton, Cheltenham, Mentone, Moorabbin, Mordialloc and Sandringham. ==Members for Higinbotham Province== Member 1 Member 1 Party Year James Kennedy United Australia 1937 Member 2 Member 2 Party James Kennedy United Australia 1940 James Disney United Australia James Kennedy United Australia 1943 James Disney United Australia James Kennedy Liberal 1945 James Disney Liberal James Kennedy Liberal 1946 Arthur Warner Liberal James Kennedy Liberal and Country 1949 Arthur Warner Liberal and Country James Kennedy Liberal and Country 1949 Arthur Warner Liberal and Country James Kennedy Liberal and Country 1952 Arthur Warner Liberal and Country Lindsay Thompson Liberal and Country 1954 Arthur Warner Liberal and Country Lindsay Thompson Liberal and Country 1955 Arthur Warner Liberal and Country Lindsay Thompson Liberal and Country 1958 Arthur Warner Liberal and Country Lindsay Thompson Liberal and Country 1961 Arthur Warner Liberal and Country Lindsay Thompson Liberal and Country 1964 Baron Snider Liberal and Country Lindsay Thompson Liberal 1965 Baron Snider Liberal Lindsay Thompson Liberal 1967 Murray Hamilton Liberal William Fry Liberal 1967 Murray Hamilton Liberal William Fry Liberal 1970 Murray Hamilton Liberal William Fry Liberal 1973 Murray Hamilton Liberal William Fry Liberal 1976 Murray Hamilton Liberal Robert Lawson Liberal 1979 Murray Hamilton Liberal Robert Lawson Liberal 1982 Geoffrey Connard Liberal Robert Lawson Liberal 1985 Geoffrey Connard Liberal Robert Lawson Liberal 1988 Geoffrey Connard Liberal Chris Strong Liberal 1992 Geoffrey Connard Liberal Chris Strong Liberal 1996 John Ross Liberal Chris Strong Liberal 1999 John Ross Liberal Chris Strong Liberal 2002 Noel Pullen Labor ==Election results== ==References== Category:Former electoral provinces of Victoria (state) Category:1937 establishments in Australia Category:2006 disestablishments in Australia

Prince Semien Fielder (born May 9, 1984) is an American former professional baseball first baseman and designated hitter, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers, and Texas Rangers. He was selected in the first round of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft by the Brewers out of Eau Gallie High School in Melbourne, Florida, and spent the first seven years of his MLB career with the Brewers before signing with the Tigers, in January 2012. In November 2013, Fielder was traded to the Rangers, where he played the remainder of his career. Fielder is a six-time All-Star. He holds the Brewers' team record for home runs (HR) and runs batted in (RBI) in a season and is the youngest player in National League (NL) history to hit 50 home runs in a season. He became the first Brewer to win the Home Run Derby, defeating Nelson Cruz in the final round of the 2009 derby. Fielder also won the 2012 derby, joining Ken Griffey Jr. (and later Yoenis Céspedes and Pete Alonso) as the only players to win more than one derby and becoming the first player to win the Derby as both an American League (AL) and NL All- Star. On August 10, 2016, Fielder announced that he would be unable to continue his playing career after undergoing a second neck surgery in three years. He was released by the Rangers on October 4, 2017. He ended his career with 319 home runs, the same number as his father, Cecil Fielder. Prince and Cecil Fielder are also the only father-son duo to each hit 50 MLB home runs in a season, and were the only father-son duo to hit 40 MLB home runs in a season until 2021, when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. joined his own father in achieving the feat. ==Early life== Fielder was initially right-handed, but at a very young age was converted to being a left-handed hitter by his father, baseball player Cecil Fielder. Fielder was a fixture around his father's teams' clubhouses growing up. He appeared with his father on MTV Rock N' Jock Softball. When his father played for Detroit, Prince would sometimes come along for batting practice. Fielder hit a home run off Tigers third base coach Terry Francona into the upper deck of Tiger Stadium as a 12-year-old in 1996. Fielder attended Saint Edward's School in Vero Beach, Florida, for two years, where he played junior varsity baseball. Fielder spent his first three years of high school playing at Florida Air Academy in Melbourne, Florida. He then transferred to Eau Gallie High School, located in the Eau Gallie neighborhood of Melbourne, to play baseball there his senior year (2002). He hit .524 with 13 doubles, 10 home runs, 41 RBIs, and 47 runs in his senior year. He was named by Florida Today as the All-Space Coast Player of the Year in 2002. Fielder committed to play college baseball for Arizona State. ==Professional career== ===Draft and minor leagues=== The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Fielder in the first round, with the seventh overall selection, of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft. He signed with the Brewers and began his professional career in minor league baseball with the Ogden Raptors of the Rookie-level Pioneer League. In his first professional game, he hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th inning to tie it up. Ogden would go on to win in the 10th inning. He was promoted to the Beloit Snappers of the Class A Midwest League that season. Fielder spent the 2003 season with Beloit and was promoted to the Huntsville Stars of the Class AA Southern League for the 2004 season. Fielder began the 2005 season with the Nashville Sounds of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League. ===Milwaukee Brewers (2005–2011)=== ====2005==== Fielder earned his first call-up to Major League Baseball on June 13, 2005. He served as the designated hitter for the Brewers during interleague play. On June 15, 2005, he collected his first major league hit, a double, off Hideo Nomo, and drove in his first big league run with his second hit of the night at Tampa Bay. Prince also hit his first home run on June 25, 2005. However, with Lyle Overbay serving as the Brewers' regular first baseman, Fielder was sent back down to the Sounds shortly after the end of interleague play. Fielder was again called up to the Majors on August 17, 2005, and went on to finish the season with the Brewers, where he was used as a pinch-hitter. He was the sixth-youngest player in the league. ====2006==== After the Brewers traded Overbay to the Toronto Blue Jays, Fielder became the Brewers' starting first baseman in 2006. He was an early favorite for National League Rookie of the Year. Fielder did not get off to a great start in the 2006 regular season, going 0–9 with seven strikeouts. In his 12th at-bat, Fielder delivered a game- winning hit that drove home Geoff Jenkins for the winning run in the bottom of the 8th inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Fielder was named the National League's Rookie of the Month for April. With his 18th home run of the year, Fielder broke the Brewers' rookie home run record previously held by Danny Walton and Greg Vaughn. Fielder led all major league rookies with 28 homers in the 2006 season. On defense, he had the lowest zone rating among NL first basemen, .804. ====2007==== Fielder had a strong first half in 2007, earning a start at first base in the 2007 All-Star game over the previous two MVP winners, Ryan Howard (2006) and Albert Pujols (2005). On August 13, 2007, Fielder was featured on a magazine cover for the first time when he was featured on the August 13, 2007, issue of ESPN The Magazine. On September 15, 2007, Fielder broke the Brewers franchise record for home runs in a season, hitting his 46th in a game against the Cincinnati Reds. The record was previously jointly held by Richie Sexson (twice) and Gorman Thomas. On September 25, Fielder became the youngest player ever to reach 50 home runs in a season, joining his estranged father in the exclusive club. Fielder stated that he hoped to surpass his father's total of 51 home runs in a season (1990) as a way of exorcising the demons that came with being the son of a prominent major-leaguer. "A lot of people said that's the only reason I got drafted... I don't mind people comparing me to him but I'm a completely different player. One day I want people to mention my name and not have to mention his," Fielder said. Earlier in the season, Cecil Fielder had told a magazine that it was his famous name that led to his son being such a highly-touted prospect. The younger Fielder also saw his contention in the 2007 NL MVP race as a way of proving his father wrong, but got little else from the rift but motivation saying, "You've got to look at who's saying it. Let's be honest. He's not really the brightest guy." Fielder ranked first in the National League in home runs (50) in his MVP-caliber 2007 season (and was, until the 2017 MLB season, the last player in the National League to hit 50 or more home runs in a single season, when Giancarlo Stanton hit 59 home runs), was second in slugging percentage to teammate Ryan Braun (.618), second in at-bats per home run (11.5) and OPS (1.013), third in RBIs (119) and extra-base hits (87), fourth in total bases (354) and hit by pitch (14), fifth in intentional walks (21) and sacrifice flies (8), seventh in runs (109) and times on base (269), and ninth in walks (90). In 2007, he led all major league first basemen in errors, with 14, and was last among eligible major league first basemen in range factor (8.49). Fielder earned the Milwaukee Brewers Team MVP award, the Player's Choice NL Outstanding Player award, 2007 Silver Slugger award, and was voted the National League's Hank Aaron Award winner.Fielder adds Aaron Award to '07 honors. The Official Site of The Milwaukee Brewers. October 28, 2007 ====2008==== Unable to come up with an agreement for a long-term contract with the Brewers, Fielder and his agent, Scott Boras, signed a one-year, $670,000 deal with the Brewers. Fielder was quoted saying, "I'm not happy about it at all", showing his disappointment in not being able to reach an agreement with the club. On June 19, while playing against the Toronto Blue Jays, Fielder hit the second inside-the-park home run of his career. On August 4, Fielder and teammate Manny Parra got into a scuffle in the dugout during a game against the Cincinnati Reds in which Parra was the starting pitcher. They were having a brief conversation, which led to Parra throwing his jacket down and Fielder shoving him. Fielder had to be restrained by teammates Ray Durham, Dave Bush, J. J. Hardy, Ryan Braun, and pitching coach Mike Maddux. ESPN reported that night that the dispute was over Parra heading back to the clubhouse after being pulled from the game instead of staying in the dugout to watch the Brewers bat in the next inning. Baseball Tonight also reported that the exchange was started when Parra told Fielder to "get off his fat ass and play defense." Manager Ned Yost said reporters asking questions about the incident was as rude as "going over to the neighbors' house after they've been fighting and asking about it." On September 23, Fielder hit his second walk- off home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates, helping the Brewers keep pace with the New York Mets in the NL Wild Card race. Fielder was named the National League Player of the Week for the week of September 15–21 after he batted .462, with 27 total bases, six doubles, 11 RBIs, .533 on-base percentage, and a 1.038 slugging percentage. Fielder ended the 2008 regular season with a .276 batting average, 34 home runs, 102 RBIs, 86 runs and 84 walks. The Brewers finished 90–72, earning the NL Wild Card on the final day of the regular season, their first postseason berth as a National League club and their first since losing to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1982 World Series. They faced the Philadelphia Phillies and were eliminated in four. Fielder hit the Brewers' only home run of the series, in Game 4. ====2009==== After the 2008 season, Fielder was seeking an $8 million salary in 2009, while the Brewers filed for $6 million. On January 23, the Brewers and Fielder avoided arbitration and finalized a two-year $18 million contract. On June 15, 2009, Fielder hit his first career grand slam at Progressive Field against Rafael Perez of the Cleveland Indians . Fielder was one of four NL first basemen who made the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, joining starter Albert Pujols and fellow reservists Adrián González and Ryan Howard. Fielder won the 2009 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby in St Louis. Fielder began the Derby with a Rickie Weeks bat, but quickly switched to one of Ryan Braun's because it was longer and gave him more plate coverage.Brewers soak up experience Milwaukee Journal Sentinel He made the finals with 17 home runs after the first two rounds, eliminating local favorites Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard. He then beat former Brewers teammate Nelson Cruz with six homers in the final round. His 23 long balls tied for the sixth-most in the Derby's history. He also hit the longest home run of the Derby at . On August 4, Fielder was involved in an incident with Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Guillermo Mota. With two outs in the ninth inning, Mota hit Fielder with a pitch on the leg, apparently in retaliation for Mota's teammate Manny Ramirez being hit in the hand by Brewers pitcher Chris Smith. Mota was ejected. After the 17–4 Dodgers victory, Fielder went to the Dodgers clubhouse in an effort to confront Mota. The Dodgers security guards stopped Fielder from entering, though the incident was captured by a television crew. Both Mota and Fielder were fined by Major League Baseball for their roles in the incident. Fielder had a good September. While playing the San Francisco Giants on September 6, Fielder hit his third career walk-off home run in the 12th inning. The Brewers' subsequent home plate celebration sparked a minor controversy due to its unusual style. Then, on September 19, Fielder set the Brewers' single- season record for RBIs at 127, beating Cecil Cooper's 1983 record of 126. He set this record during a game against the Houston Astros — the team Cooper was managing at the time. The record-breaking RBI was a sacrifice fly, scoring Mike Cameron. He finished the season with 141 RBIs, which surpassed his father's career high of 133 in 1991. Fielder finished tied for first in the National League in RBIs with Ryan Howard, and second in home runs with 46. He is one of three players in Brewers franchise history to have 100 or more RBIs in three consecutive seasons, along with Richie Sexson (2001–03) and Ryan Braun (2008–10). ====2011==== On January 18, Fielder and the Brewers agreed on a one-year, $15.5 million contract. Fielder was named MVP of the 82nd All Star Game, in which he hit a 3-run home run. Along with Fielder, Braun also hit 30 home runs on the season, marking the 4th time the duo each hit at least 30 home runs in a season. Only 6 other duos have done this in major league history. Fielder became one of three Brewers who have had four 100-RBI seasons, along with Cecil Cooper and Braun. On September 27 in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Fielder went 3-for-3 with three home runs and a walk, and 5 RBIs. It was his first career three-home run game. In 2011, Fielder batted .299, led the National League in intentional walks (32, a Brewers record), was second in the league in home runs (38), and was third in slugging percentage (.566). On defense, he led the majors in errors committed by a first baseman (15) and had the lowest fielding percentage of all first basemen (.990). Through 2011, he had the second-highest career slugging percentage (.540) and OPS (.929) of any player in Brewers history, behind Braun, and was second in career home runs (230) to Robin Yount. Fielder came in third in the voting for the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player Award, behind winner and teammate Ryan Braun and Matt Kemp. ===Detroit Tigers (2012–2013)=== ====2012==== Following the 2011 World Series, Fielder became a free agent. On January 26, 2012, Fielder agreed to a nine-year, $214 million contract with the Detroit Tigers to play first base and bat clean-up in the Tigers batting order. It was the largest contract in the history of the Tigers, surpassing Miguel Cabrera's contract of $185.3 million over eight years. The Tigers acquired Fielder to replace the bat of an injured Víctor Martínez, the everyday designated hitter in 2011. The acquisition of Fielder, who had only played first base in his career, required 2008–2011 first baseman Miguel Cabrera to move to third, which Cabrera was notably happy to do. On April 5, 2012, Fielder made his debut with the Tigers and singled in his first at bat. Fielder hit his first two home runs as a Tiger on April 7, 2012, in a 10–0 victory over the Boston Red Sox. In his first season in the American League, he was voted to the 2012 All-Star team as a starter. It is his fourth All-Star appearance overall. Fielder was also selected by American League captain, Robinson Canó, to participate in the 2012 Home Run Derby. On July 9, 2012, Fielder became the 2012 Home Run Derby champion, hitting 12 home runs in the third and final round over José Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays. This is Fielder's second win in the derby, his first coming in 2009. Fielder became the first participant to win for both the National and American League, and joined Ken Griffey Jr. as the only two players to win multiple Derbies. Fielder finished the 2012 regular season with a career-best .313 batting average. He hit 30 home runs, giving him six straight seasons with at least 30 long balls, and drove in 108 runs for his fifth career 100-plus RBI season. He also had an on-base percentage of .412, his fourth straight season with an on- base percentage above .400. He played in all 162 games for Detroit, his third such season in his career, and he led the American League in being hit by pitches (17). Some in the sports media have given Fielder at least partial credit for teammate Cabrera winning the Triple Crown of batting in 2012. With Fielder hitting behind him in the Tiger order, Cabrera's walks declined from 108 the previous season to just 66, giving him more opportunities to hit home runs and drive in runs. Cabrera would later confirm in a June 2013 Sports Illustrated article: "You can see a difference. They pitch to me more...I see a lot of good pitches.""Bash Bros": Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder Featured on This Week's SI Cover insidesportsillustrated.com on June 12, 2013. Retrieved August 19, 2013. The 2012 World Series was Fielder's first career trip to the World Series. He compiled only a .071 batting average (1-for-14) during the World Series as the Tigers were swept in four games at the hands of the San Francisco Giants. In Game 2 of the series, Fielder was hit on the shoulder by a pitch from Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner. After Delmon Young hit a double down the left-field line, Prince attempted to score. However, a relay throw from Gregor Blanco to Marco Scutaro to Buster Posey tagged Fielder out as he was sliding home. This became the first-ever 7-4-2 putout in a World Series. ====2013==== Fielder was named AL Player of the Week for April 8–14. He hit .632 during the week (12-for-19) with 11 RBIs and 22 total bases. He finished the month of April with a .301 batting average, 7 home runs, and 27 RBIs. On July 1, Fielder was voted in as a reserve infielder in the AL player balloting for the 2013 Major League All-Star Game.All-Star Rosters mlb.mlb.com on July 14, 2013. It was his fifth career All-Star selection. During the All-Star Game, he hit a lead-off triple in the ninth inning off of Jason Grilli. He did not score but the American League still won the game 3–0. Fielder hit .279 during the 2013 regular season, and his 25 home runs was the lowest total in any of his eight full major league seasons until he hit only 23 in 2015. He did, however, drive in 106 runs, marking the sixth time he topped 100 in his career. Fielder also played all 162 games for the third straight season, and played in his 500th consecutive game on September 24.Fielder plays in 500th consecutive game Beck, Jason at mlb.com on September 24, 2013. This followed a 327-game streak that was broken in September 2010, when he played for the Brewers. (He missed one game due to severe flu symptoms.) By the end of the 2013 season, he had played in 831 of his last 832 regular-season games. Fielder batted .278 in the ALDS against Oakland, registering 5 hits and no RBIs. In the 2013 ALCS he declined further, registering a .182 average with only 4 hits and no RBIs. ===Texas Rangers (2014–2017)=== ====2014==== On November 20, 2013, Fielder was traded to the Texas Rangers along with $30 million for second baseman Ian Kinsler. In June 2014 Fielder underwent season ending neck surgery. At the time of his mid- season departure, he was batting .247 with 3 home runs and 16 RBI in 42 games. Fielder's then league-leading streak of 547 consecutive games started was ended. ====2015==== Nearly halfway through the season Fielder led the AL in batting average and was selected as a reserve designated hitter for the MLB All Star Game in Cincinnati. It was Fielder's sixth appearance in the All-Star Game and his fourth selection in five seasons. He finished the 2015 season with a .305 batting average, 23 home runs, and 98 RBIs. He had to be very patient with his power, but he said "the way I'm hitting this year, I'm fine with it." ====2016==== On April 29, 2016, in a game against the Los Angeles Angels in the bottom of the 6th inning, Fielder hit a sharp single through the shift to score Rougned Odor, making him and his father Cecil Fielder the 2nd father-son combo to both record 1,000 RBIs. On July 20, it was revealed that Fielder was diagnosed with C4-C5 herniations in his neck, putting his career in jeopardy. In a press conference on August 10, Fielder announced that he would not be able to continue playing professional baseball due to his injuries. In 89 games of 2016, Fielder finished his injury-shortened season with a .212 batting average, 16 doubles, 8 home runs, and 44 RBIs. ====2017==== On October 5, 2017, the Rangers released Fielder, citing financial considerations. Although Fielder was not completely retired at the point he was released, the Rangers decided to release him anyway. ===Career statistics=== In 1611 games over 12 seasons, Fielder posted a .283 batting average (1645-for-5821) with 862 runs, 321 doubles, 10 triples, 319 home runs, 1028 RBI, 18 stolen bases, 847 bases on balls, .382 on-base percentage and .506 slugging percentage. Defensively, he recorded a .992 fielding percentage playing every inning at first base. In 44 postseason games, he batted only .189 (31-for-164) with 13 runs, 5 doubles, 5 home runs, 12 RBI and 15 walks. Fielder was included on the ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame class of when it was announced on November 22, 2021, but after ballots were counted, he became ineligible for future balloting, due to receiving less than 5% of the total. ==Personal life== Fielder was named after his grandfather. He married his wife Chanel in 2005 during the Triple-A All-Star break while playing for the Nashville Sounds. They have two sons. Fielder filed for divorce in May 2013, but by March 2014, he and his wife had reconciled. They reside in Windermere, FL.

Liz Balmaseda (born January 17, 1959) is a journalist who writes for The Palm Beach Post. Balmaseda was born in Puerto Padre, Cuba, amidst the Cuban Revolution. Her family emigrated to the United States, and she grew up in Miami, Florida. She received an associate's degree from Miami Dade College, and then a bachelor's degree from Florida International University in communications in 1981. She had been an intern for the Miami Herald in 1980, and was hired upon her graduation in 1981 to write for El Herald, the Miami Heralds Spanish-language sister paper. She worked in this and several other reporting assignments at the Herald until 1985, when she left to become Central America bureau chief, based in El Salvador, for Newsweek. She moved to NBC News as a field producer based in Honduras before returning to the Miami Herald in November 1987 as a feature writer. Balmaseda was awarded her first Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1993 for her writings on the plight of Cuban and Haitian refugees. Her second was awarded for breaking-news reporting in 2001, for her role in covering the story of Elián González. That same year, she won the Hispanic Heritage Award for Literature. ==References== ==External links== * Category:1959 births Category:Living people Category:Cuban emigrants to the United States Category:Writers from Miami Category:American women writers Category:Pulitzer Prize for Commentary winners Category:Florida International University alumni Category:Miami Herald people Category:Miami Dade College alumni Category:American women journalists Category:21st-century American women writers

Isaac Luck (12 May 1817 – 15 December 1881) was a New Zealand architect. A professional builder, he arrived in Lyttelton on the Steadfast in 1851. He was the third chairman of the Christchurch Town Council. He was the brother-in-law of and in partnership with Benjamin Mountfort, and was the less well-known architectural partner for the design of the Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings. ==Early life== Luck was born in 1817 in Oxford, England; his parents were Jesse and Mary Luck. He worked in a partnership with John Plowman the younger as builder and architect. Some of his buildings in England include the Littlemore Lunatic Asylum (1846, as builder), the parsonage at Burton Dassett (1847, as architect), additions to the Oxford Lunatic Asylum (1847, as architect), and additions to the Union Poor House in Faringdon (1849, as builder). He was the surveyor for the demolition of the old Aylesbury Prison. His partnership with Plowman was dissolved in 1850. ==New Zealand== ===Builder and architect=== Luck arrived in Lyttelton on the Steadfast on 9 June 1851. In 1852, Luck built the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Lyttelton, which was architect Benjamin Mountfort's first commission in New Zealand. The building proved vulnerable to high winds and was considered unsafe. It was demolished in 1857. During an 1852 visit to Christchurch of the Governor, George Grey, it was agreed that the government would pay for a lock-up. Luck built the structure on the corner of Armagh Street and Cambridge Terrace at the Market Place, which measured only , and which was built by June of that year. What was long talked about afterwards was that upon completion, he held a ball in it for his friends. Luck was the builder of the original wooden St Peter's Church in Upper Riccarton, which was consecrated in 1858 by Bishop Harper. The architectural design work for the later stone church was started by Mountfort. Luck and Mountfort formed a partnership in mid-1857. They co-designed the Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings in Christchurch, which were constructed between 1858 and 1865. On 6 January 1858, the foundation stone was laid by the Superintendent, William Sefton Moorhouse. After attending church at St Michael and All Angels, a procession of Police, a band, dignitaries, provincial councillors, members and officials of the government, bishop and clergy made their way along the Avon River, where Mountfort and Luck handed a ceremonial trowel to the Superintendent and helped him put the foundation stone in place. The buildings, which opened in stages, were first used for a council meeting on 29 September 1859. The Provincial Council Buildings are considered to be the finest Gothic buildings in the Southern Hemisphere, and the buildings have a Category I heritage order with Heritage New Zealand (NZHPT). Luck was the less dominant half of the partnership as credit for their joint work is generally given to the better known Mountfort. In 1861 the duo designed the Christchurch Club which was probably New Zealand's first club. The building has a Category I heritage order with the NZHPT. He worked in partnership with Mountfort until July 1864. ===Political career=== Luck was elected onto the Christchurch Town Council for the period from 1863 to 1866. John Ollivier had the chairman of the Christchurch Town Council since 1863; the role was predecessor to Mayor of Christchurch. At the time, chairmen were voted by their fellow councillors. At a special meeting of the Town Council on 13 January 1865, Ollivier was elected chairman for another year. But only 10 days later, on 23 January 1865, Ollivier resigned as chairman. At the next meeting on 30 January 1865, Luck was voted chairman for the coming year, thus becoming the third person to take that role. Only a month later, Luck called a public meeting concerning the most exciting news that had ever been received in Christchurch yet, as gold had been found on the West Coast in Hokitika. At the time, the Canterbury Province covered both coasts of the South Island, and within three weeks, 2500 diggers had crossed the Waimakariri River on their overland route to the gold diggings in the western part of the province. Luck stood for election to the fifth Canterbury Provincial Council in June 1866, and he was nominated by the then-chairman of the Town Council, Edward Bishop. There were seven contenders for the four available positions in the City of Christchurch electorate. The Press commented that the return of three of the candidates (prominent solicitor Francis James Garrick, auctioneer James George Hawkes, and lawyer Henry Wynn-Williams) was almost guaranteed, and the fourth position was the only real contest and could be expected to either go to nurseryman William Wilson (who had been representing the Kaiapoi electorate since 1864) or Luck. Wilson was some 20 votes ahead of Luck; the other unsuccessful candidates were the working-class representative Samuel Paull Andrews and Jerningham Wakefield, who had represented Christchurch Country electorate in the 1st New Zealand Parliament. Within days, Luck became a candidate in the Lincoln electorate, where two positions were available. His business partner, Charles Clark, had represented the electorate since 1862, but was unwell and did not stand again, and supported Luck's candidacy. Three candidates stood in the election, and Luck came third by a two-vote margin against Henry Tancred and Arthur Charles Knight. ===Land holdings=== Luck owned or leased various sections in Christchurch in what is now the central city. At the time, when rural land was purchased, the buyer also obtained the right to purchase town sections. Before he arrived in New Zealand, Luck took up of land in Heathcote in March 1851 through and with his partner Edward Kent. Rural Section 64 was located next to the Ōpāwaho / Heathcote River near where it flowed into the Avon Heathcote Estuary / Ihutai. Kent chose several town sections, including TS 705, which is the corner property fronting Colombo Street, Gloucester Street, and Cathedral Square in the north-west quadrant of the Square. TS 705 was sold to Luck, with a conveyancing date of 3 June 1853 on the title document. Luck built a house for himself on the Gloucester Street frontage. Land was subleased in 1862 on a 21-year term. Benjamin Lancaster, an absentee landowner with family connections to the Canterbury Association, purchased RS 62, which later became known as Lancaster Park. Lancaster took up the option of also buying town sections, and he chose TS 706 and 707, with the former being adjacent to Luck's TS 705. Luck leased those sections from Lancaster from November 1853, and thus controlled most of the north-west quadrant of the Square. After the lease to Luck expired, Charles Clark purchased TS 706 in 1876. Luck owned town sections 584 and 586 on the north- west corner of the intersection of Colombo and Gloucester Streets, which took in half the block fronting Colombo Street between Gloucester and Armagh Streets. He also owned town section 755 in Worcester Street, in the section between Manchester Street and Latimer Square. After Luck had left New Zealand for England, a substantial building was erected on town sections 584 and 586. The Mountfort-designed building became known as Luck's Building. Most of Luck's Building was demolished in 1973 to make way for a new development, the MfL Building. Following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the block holding Luck's Building was designated for the new Convention Centre. In December 2012, Luck's Building was the first of the 761 central city properties to be purchased by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority. ===Business interests=== From July 1855, Luck had the agency for the Lyttelton Times for Christchurch and Canterbury. Luck was the chairman of the Canterbury Gas, Coal and Coke Company for some time. From November 1861, Luck was the business partner of Charles Clark and they traded as 'Luck and Clark' as land agents and auctioneers from premises on the north-west corner of the intersection of Colombo and Gloucester Streets, with Luck owning that land. Luck and Clark dissolved their partnership on 31 August 1866, Clark moved to new premises further south on Colombo Street, Luck took over the accounts receivable, and Luck carried on under the business name 'Luck and Co'. But only a few months later, the situation was reversed when Luck decided to go back to England. In March 1867, Luck advertised that any remaining debts to 'Luck and Clark' are now due to be paid to Charles Clark, and 'Clark and Co' moved back into Luck's premises on the corner of Colombo and Gloucester Street. Luck also advertised that all claims against him personally are to be presented by 3 April 1867, and he left New Zealand five days later. Clark then rented out Luck's house Meriden in Merivale. ===Family=== Luck had a close association to the Mountfort family beyond his business relationship with the architect. In February 1852, Luck became godfather to Wilfred Lewis Mountfort, a son of the architect. On 20 April 1853, he married Susanna Wale Mountfort (born May 1828), the architect's sister, at Holy Trinity Church. Together with his wife and five children, he left on the Mermaid on 8 April 1867 for London. ==Retirement and death== Luck retired to England. From abroad, he subscribed to the ChristChurch Cathedral fund. In April 1881, he was living at 20 Westfield Park, Bristol, with his wife and three daughters, as recorded in the 1881 United Kingdom Census. He died on 15 December 1881 at his home leaving a personal estate of £2,359; his wife died in 1889 while visiting Navestock from her home in London. There is a memorial to Luck inside ChristChurch Cathedral. ==Notes== ==References== * * * * * * ==External links== * Christchurch survey map, identifying sections owned by Luck (584, 686, 755) Category:1817 births Category:1881 deaths Category:Mayors of Christchurch Category:19th-century New Zealand architects Category:19th-century New Zealand politicians

Lyle Stefan Overbay (born January 28, 1977) is an American former professional baseball first baseman. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays, Pittsburgh Pirates, Atlanta Braves, New York Yankees, and Milwaukee Brewers from 2001 through 2014. He now coaches for the Tumwater Thunderbirds. https://www.theolympian.com/sports/high- school/article250465956.html the source. ==College career== Overbay attended the University of Nevada, Reno, where he played college baseball for the Nevada Wolf Pack baseball team. ==Professional career== ===Draft and minors=== Overbay was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 18th round of the 1999 MLB draft. While playing in the farm system, he was named Diamondbacks minor league player of the year in 2001. ===Arizona Diamondbacks=== Overbay made his Major League debut on September 19, 2001. Overbay appeared in two games, getting one hit out of two plate appearances during his brief stint in the majors in 2001. He was also part of the Diamondbacks' postseason roster to serve as a backup first baseman and eventually won the World Series over the Yankees. During the 2002 season, Overbay played mostly in the minors and only played in 10 games in the majors. Overbay first played with the Diamondbacks as the full-time first baseman in 2003. He played in 86 games, batting .276 with four home runs and 28 RBI. He was sent down to Triple-A Tucson in June, but was called up in September to be part of the 40-man roster expansion. He was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers during the off-season. ===Milwaukee Brewers=== Overbay was acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers on December 1, 2003, in a trade that sent Richie Sexson and Shane Nance to Arizona for Overbay, Craig Counsell, Junior Spivey, Chris Capuano, Chad Moeller, and Jorge de la Rosa. During the 2004 season, Overbay batted .301 with 16 home runs, 87 RBI, and a major league-leading 53 doubles. In 2005, Overbay hit 19 home runs, surpassing his 2004 total of 16. On July 23, he had a career high 6 RBI against the Cincinnati Reds, hitting two home runs, including a grand slam. This feat was also the most in a season by a Brewer. He played very well against the Reds, batting .431 with six home runs and 18 RBI. He was traded to the Blue Jays in the off-season. He was a fan favorite in Milwaukee. When Overbay stepped up to plate, fans would do the "O chant." Fans would raise their hands over their heads in an "O" symbol – some brought cardboard cut outs of the letter "O" – and would chant a prolonged "O" sound to honor Overbay. Overbay said of the chant, "The "O" chant doesn't break my concentration. Sometimes it gets me too pumped up because I want to come through and give the fans something to cheer about, instead of just chanting. But overall, I think it's cool that I get that treatment from Brewers fans." ===Toronto Blue Jays=== thumb|left|Overbay with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats On December 7, 2005, Overbay was traded from the Brewers along with pitching prospect Ty Taubenheim to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for outfielder Gabe Gross and pitchers Dave Bush and Zach Jackson. Although the trade was acknowledged as a needed acquisition for the Blue Jays, Overbay did not have the statistical impact hoped for, at least beyond 2006. From 2007 to 2008, Overbay statistically trailed Bush in the sabermetric categories wins above replacement player and value over replacement player. On July 5, 2006, Overbay was named American League Player of the Week after hitting .423 and hitting four home runs during the week of June 26 to July 2, 2006. In 2006, he had a career season, batting .312 with 22 home runs, 92 RBI and 181 hits, which were all career-highs. He also had 46 doubles, which was tenth among the major leagues. On January 15, 2007, the Toronto Blue Jays signed Overbay to a four- year contract, buying out his final two arbitration-eligible years, and his first two years of free agency, with a $24 million contract. On June 4, 2007, Overbay was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning of a game against the Chicago White Sox. The pitch was a high and inside fastball that ran in and hit him in the hand, resulting in a fracture that was estimated to sideline him for four to six weeks. He was on the disabled list until July 12, 2007, rejoining the Blue Jays after the All-Star break. After his return, he struggled at the plate, especially with hitting for power. Overbay set a new team record on May 25, 2008, by reaching base in his 12th consecutive plate appearance after walking on a full count in the second inning. The previous record holder was Tony Fernández who reached base 11 straight times. That season, he was criticized by fans for his penchant to ground into double plays. He finished 2008 tied for seventh overall in this category, with 24. Overbay is also one of only 15 players to hit into an unassisted triple play, serving up Asdrúbal Cabrera of the Cleveland Indians on May 12, 2008. On June 8, 2009, Overbay was again named American League Player of the Week after leading the Major League in both batting average and slugging. He was also named the 2009 American Legion Graduate of the Year. ===Pittsburgh Pirates=== On December 14, 2010, Overbay signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. After batting .227 with eight home runs and 37 RBIs in 103 games, he was designated for assignment on August 1, 2011, and released on August 5. ===Second stint with the Arizona Diamondbacks=== On August 13, Overbay re- signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks, replacing the injured Xavier Nady. The Diamondbacks paired Overbay with Paul Goldschmidt, who Overbay mentored. On December 8, 2011, Overbay signed a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks. He was used mostly as a pinch hitter. On July 30, Arizona designated Overbay for assignment. They then released him on August 6. ===Atlanta Braves=== On August 20, 2012, the Atlanta Braves signed Overbay to a minor league contract. He was called up when the rosters expanded on September 1, 2012. ===Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees=== On January 13, 2013, the Boston Red Sox announced that Overbay had been signed to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training. He was released by the Red Sox on March 26, 2013, and signed by the New York Yankees to a minor league deal later that day. On March 31, the Yankees added Overbay to their 25-man active roster. On May 10, 2013, Overbay went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a two-run home run, 5 RBI, and two runs scored in an 11–6 win over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. On June 3, he made his first career start in right field. On June 26, the Yankees announced that Mark Teixeira was going to undergo season-ending wrist surgery, allowing Overbay to be the everyday first baseman for the remainder of the season. After the team signed Mark Reynolds on August 15, who had been released by the Cleveland Indians several days prior, Overbay and Reynolds platooned at first base for the remainder of the season, with the left-handed hitting Overbay usually starting against right-handed pitchers. ===Second stint with the Milwaukee Brewers=== On January 20, 2014, Overbay agreed to a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers that contained an invite to spring training. Overbay made the Brewers regular season roster, announced March 23, and will play first base for the Brewers alongside Mark Reynolds, the team's other first baseman. Coincidentally, these same two players played for the Yankees at the same time in the previous season. Manager Ron Roenicke cited Overbay's good defense skills at first base and his veteran status in making his decision. On May 19, 2014, Overbay made his first career pitching appearance against his old team, the Atlanta Braves. With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning of a 9–3 game, he was called upon to get the final out. He faced only one batter (Ryan Doumit), getting the needed out on a popup to the shortstop Jean Segura. Overbay finished the 2014 season batting .233 in 121 games, with four home runs and 35 RBI. On October 1, he told MLB Radio Network that he was "99.9 percent sure" he would retire. ===Career statistics=== In 1587 games over 14 seasons, Overbay posted a .266 batting average (1,355-for-5,102) with 645 runs, 356 doubles, 12 triples, 151 home runs, 675 RBI, 638 bases on balls, .347 on-base percentage and .429 slugging percentage. He finished his career with a .995 fielding percentage as a first baseman and also played several games at right field. ==Personal life== Overbay and his wife Sarah have six children.

"Salma Ya Salama" () is an Egyptian Folk song by Dalida from 1976, based on the original song by Sayed Darwish. The track became one of the singer's biggest hits and over the years has sold 4 million units on disc. It was among the first Ethnic fusion hits in the world, recorded in five languages (Egyptian Arabic, French, German, and Italian: "Uomo di sabbia" and Spanish). The French version speaks of a man wandering in the desert and sees a mirage of a garden paradise. == Release and reception == First recorded fully in Egyptian Arabic as a reviving of a famous Egyptian Folkloric song by Sayyed Darwish, it achieved big success upon its release thus it was later translated to French and released in France in 1977. Both versions are featured on eponymous album by Dalida released the same year, which contains several other hits. The 45 rpm single was released in two different pressings - The French version (IS 45730) coupled with "Ti amo" (originally by Umberto Tozzi) and the Egyptian version (IS 45731) coupled with the instrumental version. The disc was distributed by "Sonopresse". When Dalida signed with "Carrere" in 1978, a third 45 rpm pressing (CA 49354) was made. The song was then translated into Italian and German. ;Dalida remixes In 1995, Orlando (brother of Dalida, producer and French record label owner) released two completely re- orchestrated versions of the "Salma Ya Salama" in its album release Comme si j'étais là... one in French and the other in an Egyptian version (both offered as a bonus). The song was remixed again in late 1996 for the Dalida album L'an 2005 and as a CD single. This version, released in May 1997, was certified silver having reached the French Top 20 chart. A clip was made for the occasion. == Charts == Year Country Peak position Units sold Certifications 1977 6 + 730,000 & 1997 14 1977 1 - - 3 - - 5 - - 23 - - ===Other versions=== The song "Salma Ya Salama" has been performed by many other artists, such as Haifa Wehbe, Alabina, Chantal Chamandy, Jean Michel Jarre, Giota Lydia, Ziynet Sali, Krum & Miro, Mika, WAMA and Tiziana Rivale.

Craig John Counsell (born August 21, 1970) is an American former professional baseball player and current manager for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball. He was previously the manager for the Milwaukee Brewers and holds the Brewers’ franchise record for managerial wins. He led the team to five of their nine all-time postseason appearances. Counsell was an infielder who played 16 seasons in MLB for five teams, and was known for his unique batting stance. He had several notable postseason performances, winning the World Series in 1997 with the Florida Marlins and in 2001 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Counsell has the distinction of having been on base for the last two times that the World Series ended with a walk-off hit, and was named the NLCS Most Valuable Player in 2001. ==Early life== Counsell was born in South Bend, Indiana. He grew up in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, and attended Whitefish Bay High School, where he played baseball. His father, John, worked for the Milwaukee Brewers as their director of the speakers bureau and community relations. Counsell attended the University of Notre Dame, where he played for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish baseball team. He was an infielder for the Irish, with a career batting average of .306, 204 runs, 166 RBI, 50 doubles and twice as many walks (166) as strikeouts (82), graduating in 1992. ==Professional career== The Colorado Rockies selected Counsell in the 11th round of the 1992 MLB Draft. He made his MLB debut with the Rockies on September 17, 1995, appearing in only three games that season. The Rockies traded Counsell to the Florida Marlins for Mark Hutton in July 1997. He immediately became the Marlins' starting second baseman. He scored the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning of Game 7 of the 1997 World Series for the Marlins, on an Édgar Rentería single over pitcher Charles Nagy's head, after tying the game in the bottom of the ninth with a sacrifice fly. In June 1999, the Marlins traded Counsell to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a player to be named later (minor leaguer Ryan Moskau). The Dodgers released Counsell during 2000 spring training, and he signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. His stay with the Diamondbacks lasted four years. Counsell batted 8-for-21 in the 2001 National League Championship Series (NLCS), and won the NLCS Most Valuable Player Award. He was hit by a pitch by Mariano Rivera to load the bases for Luis Gonzalez in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, after which Gonzalez drove in the winning run for the Diamondbacks, a bloop single over the drawn-in infield. After the 2003 season, the Diamondbacks traded Counsell to the Milwaukee Brewers, with Chris Capuano, Chad Moeller, Lyle Overbay, Jorge de la Rosa, and Junior Spivey, for Richie Sexson, Shane Nance, and a player to be named later (minor leaguer Noochie Varner). With the Brewers, Counsell started at shortstop in 2004. After one season with the Brewers, Counsell returned to the Diamondbacks as a free agent for two more seasons. Counsell returned to the Brewers as a free agent for 2007 and filled the role of utility infielder. He recorded his 1,000th career hit on August 16, 2008, against Derek Lowe of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2011, he was the fourth-oldest player in the National League, and had the second-best career fielding percentage of all active second basemen (.991). In 2009, Counsell gained more regular playing time due to injuries and inconsistent play from other Brewers players, and had a .285 batting average, along with 8 triples, finishing in the top 10 in the National League in the latter category. In 2010, Counsell was chosen as the 13th-smartest athlete in sports by Sporting News. From June 11 to August 3, 2011, Counsell tied the all-time record for consecutive at-bats without a base hit for a position player, going hitless over a streak of 45 at-bats as a bench player and spot starter. The record was set by notoriously poor hitter Bill Bergen in 1909, and later tied by infielder Dave Campbell in 1973. It had been reported Bergen's streak was 46 at bats; however, subsequent research definitively established that Bergen's streak stopped at 45, meaning that Counsell tied but did not break the record. The record was broken only a few weeks after Counsell tied it, by Eugenio Vélez of the Los Angeles Dodgers. === Batting stance === For much of his career, Counsell had a batting stance that was very distinctive, usually holding his bat high, with his arms fully extended above his head. As he reached the end of his career, Counsell lowered his bat more in his stance, though he would nearly have his back to the pitcher, to where the number on his back was almost completely visible to the pitcher. Counsell also didn't wear batting gloves for the majority of his career, with the exception of his rookie season and his final season. ===Fielding=== By the SAFE: Spatial Aggregate Fielding Evaluation method of evaluating defense, Counsell was both the highest-rated 2nd baseman and the highest-rated 3rd baseman over the period from 2002 to 2008, with an average runs saved of 10.18 and 5.86, respectively. ==Post-playing career== In early 2012, Counsell retired as a professional baseball player, and took a front office position with the Brewers. Counsell served as special assistant to general manager Doug Melvin. In 2014, Counsell was named a part-time color analyst for Brewers radio broadcasts. He rotated with Darryl Hamilton and Jerry Augustine to call games with Joe Block when primary announcer Bob Uecker was absent. ==Managerial career== === Milwaukee Brewers === On May 4, 2015, Counsell was hired by the Brewers to become their manager after Ron Roenicke was fired the day before. He signed a three-year contract with the team. The Brewers, going through a rebuild, went 61–76 and 73–89 under Counsell in his first two seasons as manager. In 2017, the team went on a surprising run, going 86–76. They finished 2nd in the NL Central, falling one win short of a wild card berth. Counsell finished 4th in NL Manager of the Year voting. In their 2018 campaign, the Brewers went 96–67 under Counsell in the regular season, and won the NL Central by defeating the Chicago Cubs by a score of 3–1 in a tiebreaker game. In 2018 he was successful on a lower percentage of replay challenges than any other MLB manager with 10 or more challenges, at 20.6%.2018 Major League Baseball Managers | Baseball-Reference.com The Brewers advanced to the National League Championship Series after a sweep of the Colorado Rockies in the National League Division Series. The Brewers won the first and sixth games of the 2018 National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Miller Park in Milwaukee and the third game of the series at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, before falling to the Dodgers in seven games. Counsell thus became only the second Brewers manager to lead the team to the postseason after managing a full season with the team. After the season ended, he finished 2nd in NL Manager of the Year voting, losing to Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker. On September 18, 2021, Counsell won his 500th game as a manager, a 6–4 Brewers victory over the Chicago Cubs. He finished 2nd in NL Manager of the Year voting, losing to San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler, with one first place vote, 22 second place votes, and four third place votes. On June 15, 2022, with a win over the New York Mets, Counsell passed Phil Garner (563) for most wins as a Brewers manager. On September 19, 2023, Counsell won his 700th game as a manager, a 7–3 Brewers victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Counsell’s contract with the Brewers expired on November 1, 2023. === Chicago Cubs === On November 6, 2023, Counsell was hired as the manager of the Chicago Cubs on a five-year contract worth over $40 million, making him the highest-paid manager in Major League Baseball history, both in annual average value and total value. The move was described as a surprise by observers, who had expected Counsell to sign with the New York Mets or Cleveland Guardians if he did not remain with the Brewers. As a result of Counsell’s unexpected move to the Cubs, the sign for Craig Counsell Park, located in his hometown of Whitefish Bay, was vandalized. The Whitefish Bay little league primarily plays in this park. This vandalism echoed a common feeling of betrayal among the Milwaukee community, due to Counsell's unexpected signing with the Brewers' biggest rival, while others remarked upon the lowball offer Milwaukee offered Counsell. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/mlb/chicago-cubs/brewers-owner- has-5-word-response-to-craig-counsells-exit-to-cubs/3270913/?amp=1 ===Managerial record=== Team Year Regular season Postseason Games Won Lost Win % Finish Won Lost Win % Result MIL 2015 137 61 76 4th in NL Central – – – MIL 2016 162 73 89 4th in NL Central – – – MIL 2017 162 86 76 2nd in NL Central – – – MIL 2018 163 96 67 1st in NL Central 6 4 Lost NLCS (LAD) MIL 2019 162 89 73 2nd in NL Central 0 1 Lost NLWC (WAS) MIL 2020 60 29 31 4th in NL Central 0 2 Lost NLWC (LAD) MIL 2021 162 95 67 1st in NL Central 1 3 Lost NLDS (ATL) MIL 2022 162 86 76 2nd in NL Central MIL 2023 162 92 70 1st in NL Central 0 2 Lost NLWC (ARI) Total 1332 707 625 7 12 ==Personal life== Counsell and his wife, Michelle, have four children together.

He made his first start on May 17 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but only lasted 4 and innings while allowing seven earned runs to take the loss.

In 2006, Capuano continued his excellent pitching by taking over as the team's new ace with Ben Sheets injured and was named to the 2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game as a replacement for Tom Glavine.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee Brewers, Kansas City Royals, Colorado Rockies, Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs. ==Professional career== ===Minor leagues=== De la Rosa was signed as an amateur free agent by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1998. He was purchased by the Monterrey Sultanes of the Mexican League prior to the 2000 season. The Boston Red Sox purchased de la Rosa from Monterrey prior to the 2001 season. In November 2003 season, the Red Sox traded de la Rosa with Casey Fossum, Brandon Lyon and Michael Goss to the Diamondbacks for Curt Schilling. The Diamondbacks traded him in December 2003 with Chris Capuano, Craig Counsell, Chad Moeller, Lyle Overbay and Junior Spivey to the Milwaukee Brewers for Richie Sexson, Shane Nance and a player to be named later. ===Milwaukee Brewers=== De la Rosa made his MLB debut on August 14, 2004, for the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2005, De la Rosa split between the minors and the Brewers bullpen, appearing in 38 games, with a record of 2–2. During the season, Brewers starting pitchers Ben Sheets, Tomo Ohka, and long relief man Rick Helling were injured, leaving the fifth spot open. The Brewers inserted De la Rosa in the starting role after an unsuccessful stint with Dana Eveland. In 3 starts, he went 0–2 with a 12.27 ERA. In his third start, he was removed because of blisters on his finger. He was then placed on the 15-day disabled list. In 18 games, his ERA was 8.60 with 30 runs allowed and 22 walks in 30 innings. ===Kansas City Royals=== De la Rosa was traded to the Kansas City Royals for Tony Graffanino during the 2006 season. In his first start for the Kansas City Royals, he pitched six innings allowing two earned runs and getting the win. De la Rosa remained in the rotation, finishing the season with a 3–4 record in 10 starts for the Royals. De la Rosa's 2007 season marked his first full season in the major leagues, pitching in 23 starts for the Royals. His record was 8–12 with an ERA of 5.82 in just 130 innings for the Royals. ===Colorado Rockies=== On April 30, 2008, he was sent to the Colorado Rockies, completing the earlier trade that sent pitcher Ramón Ramírez to the Royals. In his first season with the Rockies, De la Rosa won 10 games for the first time in his career. He also lowered his ERA by a full run over the previous two seasons. De la Rosa struggled during the first half of the 2009 season, going 0–6 in his first 10 starts. However, after June 1, de la Rosa was one of the best pitchers in baseball. De la Rosa won 16 games for the Rockies that year, and he helped the Rockies clinch the NL wild card with his second-half performance. On October 4 while pitching against the Los Angeles Dodgers, de la Rosa suffered a strained left groin and left the game. De la Rosa would go on to miss the NLDS against the Phillies. De la Rosa had the best season of his career in 2009, going 16–9 with a 4.38 ERA, and 193 strikeouts. De la Rosa's 16 wins ranked him third in the NL in 2009. De la Rosa started the 2010 season going 3–1, 3.91 ERA, 26 K in 23 innings pitched before suffering a torn flexor tendon band in his left finger which put de la Rosa on the disabled list for the next 2 months. He returned in July from the DL and finished the season going 8–7, 4.22 ERA, and 113 K in 121.2 innings pitched. De la Rosa became a free agent at the end of the 2010 season. He signed a two-year contract with a player option for a third year to remain with the Rockies. On May 24, 2011, de la Rosa suffered a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, requiring Tommy John ligament transfer surgery, thus the end of his season. He had posted a record of 4–0 in April, and had a 1–2 May, before the injury. After missing almost the whole 2012 season, De la Rosa made his return toward the end of the season, making three starts for the Rockies. After three injury-plagued seasons, De la Rosa's 2013 season marked the best season of his career despite lowering his K/9. He finished tied for a career high in wins with 16 and a career low ERA of 3.49 in 30 starts. In 2014, De la Rosa took a step back from his previous season. He finished 14–11 with an ERA of 4.10 and a career high 21 home runs allowed. After the season, De la Rosa and the Rockies agreed to a two-year contract extension. On June 14, 2015, De la Rosa became the Rockies all-time wins leader, notching win number 73 for the franchise. Despite just winning 9 games in 2015 due to injury, De la Rosa set franchise records with the most wins by a Rockie and most K's in franchise history. De la Rosa's .618 winning percentage is a Rockies' franchise record (50 start minimum). De la Rosa also holds the Rockies all-time record for best winning percentage in Coors Field with a .763 winning percentage. ===Arizona Diamondbacks=== On February 19, 2017, he signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was added to the 40 man roster at the end of spring training and began the season as a reliever. De la Rosa pitched the whole season out of the bullpen for the first time since 2005. He went 3–1 with a 4.21 ERA in 65 games. On February 16, 2018, de la Rosa signed a new minor league contract with the Diamondbacks. On July 31, 2018, de la Rosa was designated for assignment. He was released on August 4, 2018. ===Chicago Cubs=== On August 10, 2018, de la Rosa signed a Major League contract with the Chicago Cubs. He became a free agent after the season. ===Second stint with Colorado=== On April 5, 2019, de la Rosa signed a new minor league contract with the Rockies. He was released on June 7, 2019, without appearing in any games due to an oblique injury. ==International career== De la Rosa played for the Mexican team during the 2006 World Baseball Classic. ==See also== * List of Colorado Rockies team records ==References== ==External links== Category:1981 births Category:Living people Category:Arizona Diamondbacks players Category:Arizona League Diamondbacks players Category:Baseball players from Nuevo León Category:Chicago Cubs players Category:Colorado Rockies players Category:Colorado Springs Sky Sox players Category:Grand Junction Rockies players Category:High Desert Mavericks players Category:Huntsville Stars players Category:Indianapolis Indians players Category:Kansas City Royals players Category:Major League Baseball pitchers Category:Major League Baseball players from Mexico Category:Mexican expatriate baseball players in the United States Category:Mexican League baseball pitchers Category:Milwaukee Brewers players Category:Missoula Osprey players Category:Modesto Nuts players Category:Naranjeros de Hermosillo players Category:Omaha Royals players Category:Pawtucket Red Sox players Category:Portland Sea Dogs players Category:Sarasota Red Sox players Category:Sportspeople from Monterrey Category:Sultanes de Monterrey players Category:Trenton Thunder players Category:Tulsa Drillers players Category:Wichita Wranglers players Category:2006 World Baseball Classic players

46664 was a series of AIDS benefit concerts played in honour of Nelson Mandela by South African and foreign musicians between 2003 and 2008. ==Origin== The second time that Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island was in 1964, and he was the 466th prisoner that year.

Matt Bianco are a British band that were formed in 1983. They are mainly known for their success in the mid-1980s and their jazz, Latin-flavoured music. The group's name suggests that Matt Bianco is a person, often assumed to be an alias for the main member and front man Mark Reilly. According to the group, however, Matt is in fact "a made up spy, a secret agent; we loved spy TV themes and film scores". ==Early years== Matt Bianco was formed in 1983 by Mark Reilly (vocals), Danny White (keyboard), Kito Poncioni (bass) – all of whom had just left art pop group Blue Rondo A La Turk – and vocalist Basia Trzetrzelewska. The band called itself "Bronze" before settling on the name Matt Bianco in 1983. The group was pictured as a quartet for their first single ("Get Out of Your Lazy Bed"/"Big Rosie"), although Poncioni only played on the non-album B-side "Big Rosie". He dropped out of the group entirely before the recording of their first album Whose Side Are You On? (1984), although he received a co-writing credit on the track "Half A Minute". The album spawned several UK and European hits, including "Get Out of Your Lazy Bed", "More Than I Can Bear", "Half a Minute" and "Sneaking Out The Back Door". The album made the top 3 in Germany and number 1 in Austria. The title track was not a hit in the UK, although it was a minor hit in Canada and Australia. In 1984, whilst promoting Whose Side Are You On?, the group appeared on the children's TV show Saturday Superstore, and during a live phone-in, a caller named Simon Roberts said, "hello, Matt Bianco […] you're a bunch of wankers." This moment of profanity has become infamous in the history of children's television in the UK. However, this incident did not stop the band appearing on subsequent BBC Children's TV programmes. Trzetrzelewska and White formed a romantic relationship, and left the group soon after the first album so that Trzetrzelewska could pursue an international solo career. Jenni Evans became the new female singer, and Mark Fisher became songwriter, producer, and keyboard player. This line-up recorded the Matt Bianco album, which was released in 1986. The hit "Yeh Yeh", a cover of Georgie Fame's hit, reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 7 in Germany. ==Reilly- Fisher duo years== With the addition of Mark Fisher, the sound changed considerably. Fisher, a keyboardist, composer and studio wizard, contributed a more contemporary sound, compared to that of the early Matt Bianco. The use of synthesizers increased notably: Yamaha's DX-7 can be heard providing the slap bass in most songs, but the choice of noted studio musicians remained consistent with Ronnie Ross being the most prominent example. After the first album with the new line-up, they took a 13-piece band on to a European tour that saw them perform in front of an audience of more than 250,000 attendees in total. Jenni Evans left the group shortly after the recording of the group's self-titled album and was not replaced. Bianco was now a household name in Europe, and Warner Brothers sought to market them in the United States. They hired Gloria Estefan's husband and producer Emilio Estefan to produce a few songs, and recorded their third album, Indigo, with the Estefan productions being chosen as singles. 1988's "Don't Blame it on That Girl" and "Good Times" only made a moderate impact. However, "Wap-Bam-Boogie", an album track originally on the B-side of the first single (and which did not involve Estefan in any capacity), did well on the dance charts. This pushed the joint single release of "Don't Blame it on That Girl"/"Wap-Bam-Boogie" up to Number 11 on the UK Singles Chart, making it Matt Bianco's most successful single. Their first Greatest Hits album, entitled The Best of Matt Bianco, collecting their greatest hits from 1983 to 1990, was released in 1990 and made the UK Top 50. Another studio album was released in 1991 by Warner Brothers, the fractured Samba in Your Casa, the fourth long-playing by the group. Reilly and Fisher then split from their record company and went freelance. From then on, they recorded their albums in their own studios, and then offered them to independent distributors worldwide. They scored contracts with ZYX Music and Intercord in Europe, and Victor Entertainment in Asia, but failed to sign on with another major label. The next albums did not sell well in Europe, but they created a loyal fan base in Japan and the rest of Asia. The albums Another Time Another Place, Gran Via, World Go Round, A/Collection (not a greatest hits album, but more of a compilation album, compiling a number of remakes of Matt Bianco's stand-out album tracks plus remixes of a few of their hits), Rico, and Echoes sold well enough for a comfortable lifestyle in the South-East of England. After twenty years recording and touring, the two split amicably. ==2003–2015: Reunion of the original trio and beyond== Initiated by a mutual friend, Basia and Danny White joined with Mark Reilly to reform the "original" Matt Bianco, in 2003, signing to the Emarcy label. Original bassist Kito Poncioni, who only played on one Matt Bianco track before leaving the band in 1984, had died in the late 1990s. In 2004, Matt Bianco released the album Matt's Mood, the name from one of their most popular early instrumental tracks. The album featured adult-contemporary/jazz numbers, in the spirit of their first album. The following year, they embarked on a world tour, which included stops in the UK, Japan, and the United States. Following Matt's Mood, Basia and White left Matt Bianco again to reinvigorate the Basia brand. Reilly reunited with Fisher, and Matt Bianco were back as a duo. Three compilation albums were marketed between 2005 and 2008, including The Best of Matt Bianco – Volume 2, containing many of the Asian tracks, which were so far only available in Germany for European fans, and the re-release of the original 1990 The Best of Matt Bianco, featuring their European hits from 1983 to 1990. In May 2009 Fisher and Reilly released their first album as a duo for eight years in Europe, the UK, and Japan. With HiFi Bossanova the band secured a recording contract with Edel Music in Europe and continued their co-operation with JVC-Victor in Japan which in November 2012 bore fruit again with the release of their latest album Hideaway. ==2016 onwards== Mark Reilly (without Mark Fisher) recorded a collaborative album with New Cool Collective in 2016. The Things You Love featured nine new tracks and a re-recording of "Don't Blame it on That Girl"; the collaboration was billed to "New Cool Collective/Matt Bianco (Mark Reilly)". Mark Fisher died on 12 December 2016. The official Matt Bianco site made it clear that Reilly intended to carry on under the "Matt Bianco" banner, indicating that a new album was in the process of being recorded. This (Gravity) was released in 2017. In October 2017, Cherry Red Records re-issued their album Matt Bianco in 2CD Deluxe Edition format, having re-issued a similarly packaged version of Whose Side Are You On? in June 2016. November 2020 saw the release of a second collaboration with New Cool Collective, High Anxiety. In June 2022 Matt Bianco released 2CD The Essential Matt Bianco. Re-imagined, Re-loved. It featured new latin flavoured 2022 versions of 15 Matt Bianco classics - preceded by the singles "More Than I Can Bear 2022", "Matt's Mood 2022" and "Wap Bam Boogie 2022" - plus 15 re- mixes and special versions. ==Discography== *Whose Side Are You On?

William George Peter Glaze (17 September 1917 - 20 February 1983) was an English comedian born in London. He appeared in Crackerjack! with Eamonn Andrews and Leslie Crowther in the 1960s, and with Michael Aspel, Don Maclean and Bernie Clifton in the 1970s. In Crackerjack! sketches, he usually played a pompous or middle-class character, who would always get exasperated with his partner Don Maclean during the course of the sketch. Maclean would then give an alliterative reply, such as "Don't get your knickers in a knot" or "Don't get your tights in a twist". He regularly uttered the expression "D'oh!", originated by James Finlayson in Laurel and Hardy films, long before it became associated with cartoon character Homer Simpson. He was also on the panel of the long-running radio panel game Twenty Questions, along with Joy Adamson, Anona Winn and Norman Hackforth. Glaze was the son of an actor-manager and began his career in entertainment as a comedian at the Windmill Theatre in 1946.1946 Windmill Theatre – Revudeville 15th Year Programme – Glenn Christodoulou Collection He was the Crazy Gang's understudy and appeared in the 1981 musical Underneath the Arches, with Roy Hudd and Christopher Timothy as Flanagan and Allen; he assisted Hudd in a re-creation of one of the Gang's routines for a televised Royal Variety Performance in 1982. He also appeared in Whack-O! (1958); as the villainous City Administrator in the Doctor Who serial The Sensorites (1964); and in The Sweeney episode "Big Spender" (1975) as Joe Spratt. Glaze also played the actor supplying the farm animal noises in the Hancock episode "The Bowmans" (1961). ==References== ==External links== * * Retrospective at Chortle.

Robo-Hunter is a recurring strip in the British Comic 2000 AD, initially written by John Wagner and illustrated by Ian Gibson. The series starred Sam Slade, a laconic, ageing, cigar-smoking bounty hunter of robots that have gone renegade. Though action oriented, the series was noted for its humorous tone. ==Publication history== The character first appeared in 1978. José Ferrer was the original artist, but the editorial team were not happy with his work and quickly replaced him with Ian Gibson, who redrew parts of Ferrer's episodes before taking over himself. ==Plots== ===Verdus=== In the first storyline, "Verdus" (also known as "The Robot Planet"), Slade is dispatched to a distant colony planet to solve the mystery of its vanished colonists. An act of sabotage on his space craft causes time dilation during the trip, meaning that Slade arrives at the planet restored to his early 20s while the ship's pilot, Kidd, is now a cynical talking baby. The colony world is populated entirely by robots. These robots, charged with terraforming the planet and preparing it for colonization, have been programmed by their initial creator, a wood- burning droid called Smokin' Joe, to believe that "humans are superior to robots in every way". By the time the first colonists arrive, however, the robots' strength and technology is so far advanced that this thesis no longer holds true, thus the Verdus robots deny the humanity of their masters. Colonists are imprisoned as "simulated humans" on arrival. The robots adhere to a strict hierarchy, with the leader of Verdus, Big Brain, as Class 9 and all others below him. Civic and military leaders are Class 7, vending and repair droids Class 1 and all others in between. For unexplained reasons, there appears to be no Class 8. Partly for Big Brain's amusement, the robots have established a society that mimics the worst elements of Earth including celebrity culture and party politics. After Big Brain's malfunction a civil war erupts between the human-loyalist First Army and the "anti-hume", or Denialist, Second. The First Army, led by a cowardly general and designed by Gibson to resemble the British Tommies of the First World War, is annihilated. Slade resolves the problem by building a radio transmitter that destroys all the planet's Robots - including Slade's ally "Boots", the first robot to believe the duo are human. Slade and Kidd show little remorse for any of the robots, although Smokin' Joe is repaired and taken back to earth, where Slade receives the "World Medal of Honour". ===The Day of the Droids=== A second long-running story, "The Day of the Droids", followed. Back on Earth, Sam investigates a plot replacing key officials with lifelike robot doubles in his unspecified home city (which judging by various references is located somewhere in America). This is part of robot Mafia boss the God-Droid's plan to take over the city. Meanwhile, the Amalgamated Androids Union, led by a cocktail waiter robot called Molotov, is threatening to strike. Sam is joined by an idiot kit-built robot assistant, Hoagy, and, after a crack-down on smoking in IPC Comics, is given a Cuban robot cigar called Stogie, designed to help him cut down on nicotine. Ultimately Sam defeats the God-Droid with the aid of the East Side Androids American football team, but Molotov takes all the credit, and after saving the city Sam finds himself out of a job. Slade quits the city for pastures new, spending his meagre reward money on a ticket to Brit-Cit. ===Brit Cit cases=== In 1982, Wagner, now working with his co- writer Alan Grant, returned to the character after an absence from 2000 AD of nineteen months. Robo-Hunter became a semi-regular feature in the comic for the next two years, during which the now Brit Cit located Sam investigated, among other cases, a plot to sabotage the robotic England football team's World Cup campaign. Sam solved a very lucrative case and retired rich, but was eventually forced out of retirement after Hoagy and Stogie spent all his money. When the series ended in 1985, Sam was back where he started, aging and down on his luck. Hoagy was given his own short story in the 1984 2000 AD album. ===Revival=== 2000 AD revived the character in 1991, written by newcomer Mark Millar, who had a different interpretation of the characters. Peter Hogan, who replaced Millar in 1993, returned the series to a more traditional interpretation. These episodes were illustrated by Rian Hughes. In 1995, Robo-Hunter was cancelled once again. A final, one-off episode appeared a year later. ===Samantha Slade=== In December 2003, Alan Grant and Ian Gibson reunited for a revival of the strip starring Sam's granddaughter, Samantha Slade, Hoagy and Stogie. As of September 2007, 2000 AD has presented 28 episodes of the revived series, comprising six short stories. ==External links== *2000 AD profile Category:Comics by Alan Grant (writer) Category:Comics by John Wagner Category:Comics set on fictional planets Category:2000 AD comic strips Category:2000 AD characters

Shep and the Limelites was an American doo-wop trio of the early 1960s, composed of James "Shep" Sheppard (September 24, 1935 – January 24, 1970), Clarence Bassett (March 13, 1936 – January 25, 2005) and Charles Baskerville (July 6, 1936 – January 18, 1995). They are best known for their 1961 hit recording, "Daddy's Home", co-written by Sheppard. ==Career== Sheppard and Bassett, both from Queens, New York, and Baskerville, originally from Virginia, organized a group in Queens in 1960. This was billed initially as Shane Sheppard And The Limelites, but quickly became Shep and the Limelites. All three had previous experience in other groups: Shep with The Heartbeats (notable for "A Thousand Miles Away"); Bassett with The Five Sharps and then, with Baskerville, in The Videos ("Trickle, Trickle" - later covered by The Manhattan Transfer). Shep & The Limelites' recording sessions for Hull Records started in August 1960. They recorded the original version of "Daddys Home" on February 1, 1961. "Daddy's Home" reached no. 2 on the Billboard popular music chart in May, and was covered by P. J. Proby (1970) Jermaine Jackson (1972), Toots and the Maytals (Funky Kingston 1973), Junior English, and Cliff Richard (1981). Later songs were not as successful as "Daddy's Home", but still sold well; among these were "What Did Daddy Do", "Ready For Your Love" and "Our Anniversary". Kahl Music, publisher of "A Thousand Miles Away", an earlier song written by Sheppard, sued Keel Music, publisher of "Daddy's Home", for copyright violation. Keel eventually lost, and this resulted in the end of the Limelites and Hull Records in 1966. Bassett joined The Flamingos and Baskerville joined The Players and then The Drifters. Sheppard re-formed the Limelites in the late 1960s, but was murdered on January 24, 1970. He died in his car on the Long Island Expressway as a result of injuries sustained in a robbery. Baskerville died, at age 58 on January 18, 1995, in New York. Bassett died on January 25, 2005, at age 68 from the complications of emphysema, at his home in Richmond, Virginia. In 2001, The Limelites appeared Rock, Rhythm, and Doo wop. The group consisted of Clarence Bassett, Randy Reid, Ronald Bassett, and Alfred Handfield. James Sheppard's legacy includes the composing of rock 'n' roll's first song cycle. Writing songs for both the Heartbeats and Shep and the Limelites, he tells the story of going home to his girl, with twists along the way, getting married, and celebrating their anniversary. The songs that told this story were "A Thousand Miles Away", "500 Miles to Go", both with the Heartbeats; and then "Daddy's Home", "Three Steps from the Altar," "Our Anniversary", and "What Did Daddy Do?" for Shep and the Limelites."Shep and the Limelites."

Cultural feminism, the view that there is a "female nature" or "female essence", attempts to revalue and redefine attributes ascribed to femaleness. It is also used to describe theories that commend innate differences between women and men. Cultural feminism diverged from radical feminism, when some radical feminists rejected the previous feminist and patriarchal notion that feminine traits are undesirable and returned to an essentialist view of gender differences in which they regard female traits as superior. ==Origins of the term== Unlike radical feminism or socialist feminism, cultural feminism was not an ideology widely claimed by proponents but was more commonly a pejorative label ascribed by its opponents. In 1975, Brooke Williams was the first to describe the "depoliticization of radical feminism" as "cultural feminism". However, the term had surfaced as early as 1971, when Frances Chapman, in a letter printed in Off Our Backs, condemned the literary magazine Aphra as having "served the cause of cultural feminism".Frances Chapman, "goodbye," Off Our Backs 1, no. 19 (25 March 1971): 14. Socialist feminist Elizabeth Diggs, in 1972, used the label "cultural feminism" to apply to all of radical feminism.Elizabeth Diggs, "What Is the Women's Movement?", Women: A Journal of Liberation 2, no. 4 (1972): 11-12, 20. ==Ideas== Although the term "cultural feminist" is generally applied to individuals in the 1970s, similar lines of thought have been traced to earlier periods. Jane Addams and Charlotte Perkins Gilman argued that in governing the state, cooperation, caring, and nonviolence in the settlement of conflicts society seem to be what was needed from women's virtues.Ritzer, George. Contemporary Sociological Theory and Its Classical Roots. New York: McGraw-Hill, 2007. Josephine Donovan argues that the nineteenth century journalist, critic, and women's rights activist, Margaret Fuller, initiated cultural feminism in Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1845). She stressed the emotional, intuitive side of knowledge and expressed an organic worldview that is quite different from the mechanistic view of Enlightenment rationalists.Donovan, Josefine. Feminist Theory. 3d ed. (New York: Continuum, 1985. However, it was Alice Echols' article, "Cultural Feminism: Feminist Capitalism and the Anti-Pornography Movement", that led to the widespread adoption of the term to describe contemporary feminists, not their historical antecedents. Linda Martín Alcoff claims cultural feminism places women in a position overdetermined by patriarchal systems. She contends that: > Man has said that woman can be defined, delineated, captured, understood, > explained, and diagnosed to a level of determination never accorded to man > himself, who is conceived as a rational animal with free will. Alcoff makes the point that "the cultural feminist reappraisal construes woman's passivity as her peacefulness, her sentimentality as her proclivity to nurture, her subjectiveness as her advanced self-awareness". Motherhood and child-bearing is another popular topic in cultural feminist theory. Adrienne Rich theorized motherhood as an institution, constructed to control women, which is different from authentic, natural motherhood. Cultural feminists declare the relationship between mother and daughter, and therefore all women, has been destroyed by patriarchy and must be repaired. Cultural feminists identify women as the most important and most marginalized group. Mary Daly asserted that other categories of identity including ethnicity and class are male-defined groups, and women who identify them are being divided from other women. Adrienne Rich declares the “social burden” placed on women is greater and more complex than even the burden of slavery. Verta Taylor and Leila J. Rupp have argued that critiques of cultural feminism are often an attack on lesbian feminism.Verta Taylor and Leila J. Rupp, "Women's Culture and Lesbian Feminist Activism: A Reconsideration of Cultural Feminism" Signs, 19, No. 1 (Autumn, 1993): 32–61.. Suzanne Staggenbourg's case study of Bloomington, Indiana led her to conclude that engagement in activities labeled as cultural feminist "provides little evidence that cultural feminism led to a decline in political activity in the women's movement."Suzanne Staggenborg, "Beyond Culture versus Politics: A Case Study of a Local Women's Movement,"Gender and Society, Vol. 15, No. 4 (Aug., 2001), pp. 507 == Theory == Cultural feminist theory appeared in the 1970s to explain how male-defined constructions of “woman” devalue female traits. Mary Daly, a cultural feminist theorist, linked "female energy", or her term Gyn/Ecology, to the female "life-affirming, life- creating biological condition" that is victimized by male aggression as a result of "male barrenness" Adrienne Rich asserts that female biology has “radical” potential that has been suppressed by its reduction by men. Some cultural feminists desired the separation of women-only, women-run centers and spaces to “challenge negative gendered constructions.” This form of separatism within cultural feminism was criticized for ignoring structural patriarchy to instead blame men as individuals for women's oppression. In addition to physical separation, cultural feminists called for “separation from male values.” In her exhaustive study of Second-wave feminist theory, Love and Politics : Radical Feminist and Lesbian Theories, Carol Anne Douglas (long- time critic at off our backs) included the influence of Susan Griffin's popular book Woman and Nature : The Roaring Inside Her as central to the development of this strain of theory. Notably, this chapter of Douglas' book is titled Male biology as a problem and the analysis of Griffin's ideas is subtitled Woman the Natural. == Criticisms == In a 2004 article for the Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Kristen Ghodsee notes several forms of criticism coming from women of color and women of developing countries, who believe that "the idea of a global sisterhood erases important differences in power and access to resources among women of varying races, ethnicities, and nationalities". A common concern, particularly among women of color and women of developing countries, is that cultural feminism only includes white, upper- class women, instead of taking into account women of different color and status. This concern is reflected by Audre Lorde in “An Open Letter to Mary Daly” in which Lorde expresses disappointment that Daly excluded the heritage and herstories of Lorde and other non-European women in her cultural feminist book, while selectively using non-European women's words out of context to prove her points and to describe “female victimization”. Another concern is the belief that cultural feminists "have not challenged the defining of woman but only the definition given by men" and therefore perpetuate gender essentialism This biological determinism is the topic of multiple criticisms. When cultural feminists claim issues like patriarchy and rape are inherent products of male biology and behavior, the opportunity to critique and challenge the structures behind these issues disappears. Furthermore, essentialist definitions of “woman” reinforce the oppressive requirement for women to live up to “an innate ‘womanhood’ they will be judged by.” Historian Alice Echols stated that cultural feminists believe in order to combat “male lasciviousness,” women should demand respect by repressing their sexualities and proposing a conservative "female standard of sexuality". She critiques this concept for attempting to control women's sexual expression to hold women responsible for perceived problems with male sexuality. Cultural feminism has also been criticized for engaging in capitalism, a practice which some feminists consider contradictory to feminist values and counterproductive to the feminist movement. To highlight problems with feminist capitalism, Echols analyzed the implementation, practices, and outcomes of the Feminist Economic Network (FEN), a feminist business that intended to use capitalism to help women overcome patriarchal barriers by lending money from feminist credit unions to feminist owned businesses. She found the network exploited employees, rejected democracy, collectivity, and accountability, and justified hierarchies of power within the business by claiming sisterhood ensures individual empowerment leads to collective empowerment for women. Echols's findings can be expanded upon by a critique of cultural feminist business practices in Off Our Backs. The authors explain that the “feminist” businesses cultural feminists advocate for depoliticize feminism, are inherently hierarchal, have minimal access to political economic influence, and are implicitly reformist. Additionally, the authors point out the flaws in cultural feminists’ attempts to counter oppression through membership in an oppressive economic system, use of bootstrap theory, and turning feminism into both a commodity and market which ultimately serves “male” capitalism. Another criticism regards cultural feminists' opinions of transgender women. Echols describes cultural feminist attribution of transgender women to male rapaciousness as inappropriate and explains that cultural feminists dislike transgender women for accusations that they “undermine the salience of gender, and erase the boundaries between genders,” appropriate the female body (which cultural feminists regard as a kind of rape), and threaten to bring the “residual heterosexuality” out of lesbians in lesbian-feminist spaces. ==See also== ==References== == Further reading == *Balbert, Peter.

John Thomas Alderdice, Baron Alderdice (born 28 March 1955) is a Northern Ireland politician. He was the Speaker and a Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly (MLA) for East Belfast from 1998 to 2004 and 1998 to 2003, respectively. Alderdice was the leader of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland from 1987 to 1998, and since 1996 has sat in the House of Lords as a Liberal Democrat. ==Personal life== Alderdice was born to David Alderdice and Annie Margaret Helena Shields. He was educated at Ballymena Academy and the Queen's University Belfast (QUB) where he studied medicine and qualified in 1978. In 1977 he married Joan Hill, with whom he has two sons and one daughter. He worked part-time as a consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy in the NHS from 1988 until he retired from psychiatric practice in 2010. He also lectured at Queen's University's Faculty of Medicine between 1991 and 1999. Alderdice claims a distant relationship to John King, a 19th-century Australian explorer and the sole survivor of the Burke and Wills expedition. He is the older brother of David Alderdice. == Political career in Northern Ireland == The Alliance Party was formed in 1970 as an alternative to sectarian politics. Alderdice was on the executive committee of the party between 1984 and 1998, chair of the policy committee between 1985 and 1987 and the party vice-chair in 1987, before becoming the party leader ahead of the 1987 general election. He contested Belfast East for the party in 1987 and 1992. He received 32.1% of the vote in 1987, the highest percentage achieved by Alliance in an individual seat in a Westminster election until Naomi Long's historic victory for the party in Belfast East in the 2010 general election. In 1988, in Alliance's keynote post-Anglo Irish Agreement document, "Governing with Consent", Alderdice called for a devolved power-sharing government based on a voluntary coalition elected by a qualified majority vote. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, Alliance's vote across Northern Ireland stabilised at between 6% and 8%. Alderdice once again contested Belfast East in the 1992 general election. He led the Alliance delegation to the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation at Dublin Castle and the Northern Ireland multiparty talks, and was a member of the Northern Ireland Forum. Alderdice was willing to talk with Sinn Féin, after the IRA called a ceasefire in 1994, when many in the unionist community regarded such discussions as unacceptable. He was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly for Belfast East in 1998 and became the assembly's first speaker, serving until 2004. Mo Mowlam said that Alderdice's "political and parliamentary experience mean that he is well suited to carry out this role". Alderdice was a member of Belfast City Council from 1989 until 1997 representing the Victoria constituency. He resigned as party leader in 1998 to take the position of Speaker. He was a member of the Independent Monitoring Commission from 2004 to 2011. == Elevation to peerage == Alderdice was created a life peer on 8 October 1996 as Baron Alderdice, of Knock in the City of Belfast, and was one of the youngest ever life peers. He sits in the House of Lords as a Liberal Democrat. On 10 June 2010, he was elected to the new position of convenor of the Liberal Democrat peers, a role in which he chairs the Liberal Democrat parliamentary party in the House of Lords. He was elected president of Liberal International in 2005 and served until Liberal International's Cairo congress in 2009. He was succeeded by Dutch politician Hans van Baalen. == Awards and honours == Alderdice has been awarded several honours: the John F Kennedy Profiles in Courage Award in 1998; the W. Averell Harriman Democracy Award in 1998; the Silver Medal of Congress of Peru in 1999 and 2004; the Medal of Honour, College of Medicine of Peru in 1999; and the Freedom of the City of Baltimore in 1991. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, but resigned in June 2018 due to the church's opposition to same-sex relationships. In 2001, he was made an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and has also been awarded an honorary doctorate in law from Robert Gordon University. == Arms == == See also == * List of Northern Ireland members of the House of Lords == References == ==External links== * Lord Alderdice profile at the site of Liberal Democrats * * * Biographies of Prominent People, CAIN.ulster.ac.uk Category:1955 births Category:Living people Category:Presbyterians from Northern Ireland Category:British psychiatrists Category:Liberal Democrats (UK) life peers Category:Life peers created by Elizabeth II Category:Leaders of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland Category:Alumni of Queen's University Belfast Category:Academics of Queen's University Belfast Category:Members of Belfast City Council Category:Members of the Northern Ireland Forum Category:Northern Ireland MLAs 1998–2003 Category:Fellows of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Category:Presidents of the Liberal International Category:People educated at Ballymena Academy Category:Speakers of the Northern Ireland Assembly Category:Alliance Party of Northern Ireland peers Category:Alliance Party of Northern Ireland councillors Category:Member of the Committee on Standards in Public Life

The Division of Angas was an Australian Electoral Division in South Australia. The division was created in 1903 and abolished in 1934. It was named for George Fife Angas, a South Australian pioneer, and was based in various rural areas to the east, south-east, north-east and north-west of Adelaide at different times including Angaston, Cadell, Eudunda, Gawler, Kapunda, Nuriootpa, Mallala, Murray Bridge, Tanunda and Walker Flat and from 1922 stretched further eastward as far as the South Australian border. It was a generally marginal seat which was won at various times by the Australian Labor Party and the Nationalist Party (and their predecessors). ==Members== Image Member Party Term Notes Paddy Glynn Free Trade 16 December 1903 – 1906 Previously held the Division of South Australia.

Joseph John Sepkoski Jr. (July 26, 1948 – May 1, 1999) was a University of Chicago paleontologist. Sepkoski studied the fossil record and the diversity of life on Earth. Sepkoski and David Raup produced a new understanding of extinction events, by developing a statistical approach to the study of taxonomic diversification. They suggested that the extinction of dinosaurs 66 mya was part of a cycle of mass extinctions that may have occurred every 26 million years. But their most important contribution was the identification of the "Big 5" mass extinctions, events that have shaped the evolution of life on earth. ==Life and work== Sepkoski was born in Presque Isle, Maine. In 1970, Sepkoski received a B.S. degree, magna cum laude, from the University of Notre Dame. Under Stephen Jay Gould he earned a Ph.D. in geological sciences from Harvard University in 1977. His Ph.D. was on the field geology and paleontology of the Black Hills of South Dakota. From 1974 to 1978, Sepkoski taught at the University of Rochester. In 1978 he joined the University of Chicago and became a professor in 1986. Sepkoski was also a research associate at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. He died of heart failure related to high blood pressure at the age of 50. Sepkoski is perhaps best known for his global compendia of marine animal families and genera, data sets that continue to motivate a tremendous amount of paleobiological research. Sepkoski himself explored his compendium very thoroughly. In 1981, he identified three great Evolutionary Faunas in the marine animal fossil record. Each of his Evolutionary Faunas, the Cambrian, Paleozoic, and Modern Faunas, is composed of Linnean classes of animals that have covarying diversity patterns, characteristic rates of turnover, and broadly similar ecologies. Most importantly, they sequentially replaced one another as dominant groups during the Phanerozoic. Sepkoski modeled the Evolutionary Faunas using three coupled logistic functions, but the underlying drivers of the prominent shift in taxonomic composition represented by the three faunas remains unknown. Sepkoski was married to paleontologist Christine Janis, a specialist in fossil mammals. His son (from a previous marriage) is the historian of science David Sepkoski. ==Awards== * (1983).

The Division of Angas was an Australian Electoral Division in South Australia. The division was created in 1949 and abolished in 1977. It was named for George Fife Angas, a South Australian pioneer. Angas was based in eastern and north-eastern rural areas including Mount Barker, Murray Bridge and Renmark. Until 1955 the seat had originally continued north, half way to the northern border of South Australia. From that point, the seat's boundaries remained relatively stable.

Houston Chronicle. Retrieved November 14, 2012. In 2010, the special advisory group, headed by Peter T. Flawn, former president of both UTSA and the University of Texas at Austin, concluded that a merger would not be in the best interest of the two institutions."UT System special advisory group releases merger report". UTSA Today. Retrieved November 14, 2012. Among its key arguments were that both institutions had strong leadership already on a positive trajectory, the merger would be a short-term distraction for UTHSCSA, and the benefit to UTSA's national stature would be slight.

The Division of Australian Capital Territory was an Australian electoral division in the Territory of the same name. The division was created in 1949 and included the whole of the city of Canberra and surrounding rural areas. Prior to 1949, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) had no representation in the Australian Parliament. The ACT's first member was elected at the 1949 federal election. However, until 1966 he could only vote on matters relating to the ACT and did not count for the purposes of forming government. In 1966, full voting rights were granted. For most of its history it was a fairly safe seat for the Australian Labor Party. In 1974, the division was divided into two new divisions, Canberra and Fraser. The last member for the united division, Kep Enderby, transferred to Canberra. ==Members== Image Member Party Term Notes Lewis Nott Independent 10 December 1949 – 28 April 1951 Previously held the Division of Herbert.

Tooley Street is a road in central and south London connecting London Bridge to St Saviour's Dock; it runs past Tower Bridge on the Southwark/Bermondsey side of the River Thames, and forms part of the A200 road. (.) == St Olave == The earliest name for the street recorded in the Rolls is the neutral regio vicio i.e. "royal street", meaning a public highway. In the "Woodcut" map of c.1561 it is shown as "Barms Street", i.e. street to Bermondsey; in the Stuart period it was referred to as "Short Southwark" to differentiate it from "Long Southwark" (the present Borough High Street). The later "Tooley" designation is a corruption of the original Church of St Olave and the transformation can be seen on maps of the area from those of Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, John Rocque, and later, which name the church "Synt Toulus", "Toulas", "Toolis", "Toolies". The church takes its name from the Norwegian King Olaf who was an ally of Æthelred the Unready and attacked Cnut's forces occupying the London Bridge area in 1013. The earliest reference to the church is in the Southwark entry in Domesday Book of 1086.The Ancient Parishes and Manors of Southwark by Tony Sharp 2005 Guildable Manor The church was a little to the east of London Bridge of the period. The church was demolished in 1926 for the headquarters of the Hay's Wharf Company, "St Olaf House", an office block built 1929-31 by Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel (1887–1959) in Art Deco style. This has a legend and mural depiction of the Saint. The termination of the street is not actually at the junction with Borough High Street, as often assumed, for that part of the highway is actually Duke Street Hill. Tooley Street actually joins Montague Close under the arch of London Bridge a little to the north of this. == Fire == thumb|The Tooley Street fire of 1861 This fire happened at a time when the fire 'brigade', formally known as the London Fire Engine Establishment, was still run by insurance companies. It began on 22 June 1861 in a warehouse at Cotton's Wharf in Tooley Street and raged for two days, destroying many nearby buildings. It was two weeks before the fire went out completely. The head of the Establishment, James Braidwood, was killed by a falling wall while fighting the fire. It was one of the largest fires in London during the 19th century. Afterwards the insurance companies raised their premiums and threatened to disband the brigade until finally the government agreed to take it over. The Metropolitan Fire Brigade Act was passed in 1865 and led to a publicly funded fire service – the first real London fire brigade. == George Orwell == In the early 1930s George Orwell lived as a tramp to gain a first-hand view of poverty. He befriended a man called Ginger in the hop-fields of Kent. They came to a "kip" (doss-house) in Tooley Street and stayed there from 19 September to 8 October 1931. Orwell wrote rough notes in the kip then went further along Tooley Street to Bermondsey Library where he wrote them up into the book Down and Out in Paris and London. The library building was demolished in the 1980s and the site is now part of the open space called Potter's Fields.Southwark Local Studies Library Tooley Street exhibition file. == Hay's Wharf == The most famous wharf of the south side of the Pool of London was Hay's Wharf, first mentioned in 1651 to the east of St Olave's church. For 300 years it grew, until Tooley Street and the surrounding industrial development was nicknamed "London's Larder". The warehouses burned down in the 1861 fire (see above). Hay's Wharf was where Ernest Shackleton's ship Quest lay in 1921. This dock was filled in during extensive rebuilding in the 1980s and is now a shopping mall called Hay's Galleria. The office block attached to it is called "Shackleton House". Nearby, at No. 27 is the private London Bridge Hospital in the St Olaf House building. == Old and new horrors == A 1542 map of Southwark shows only three or four features on Tooley Street, although it is not given a name on this.'Plan view of Southwark' ca 1542, Duchy of Lancaster One of them is a pillory, set up for punishing fraudulent traders. Next to it is a "cage". This was a place to keep drunken disorderly people who were arrested too late in the day to be imprisoned. They would sleep in the cage until sober. Until 2013 the site of those medieval punishments was occupied, quite appropriately, by London Dungeon, a popular tourist attraction. It opened in 1975 and is similar to the "Chamber of Horrors" in Madame Tussaud's Museum (it is owned by Merlin Entertainments) and relocated to County Hall in 2013. In nearby Stainer Street, off Tooley Street running under the mainline station, there is a blue plaque commemorating the 68 people who were killed in the 1941 bombing raid. Popular legend says that there was so much rubble that bodies were simply left behind, and re-buried in the masonry under London Bridge Station. Stainer Street has now been closed permanently as part of the London Bridge station redevelopment. Another museum and tourist attraction has been created under the Bridge at number 2-4 called 'The London Bridge Experience and London Tombs'; the first part of the display is an exhibition of the history of the Bridge and the other part is more of a popular entertainment similar to the 'Dungeon'. == John Keats == Before being permanently closed at its northern end in 2012 to allow for the redevelopment of London Bridge station, Weston Street connected with Tooley Street opposite Hay's Galleria. In the early 19th century, before the station was built, John Keats lived in Weston Street, at that time called Dean Street, when a medical student at Guy's Hospital. It was here that he wrote the poem "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer". == London Bridge City and More London == From 1987 into the early 1990s and again in the period from 1999 to 2009, new developments between the street and the river were created. In 1987, with the increasing urban regeneration of the Thames Corridor and nearby London Docklands, the area was acquired by the St Martins Property Group as part of their London Bridge City development, stretching from London Bridge easterly to English Grounds where it is terminated by the Southwark Crown Court site and this has caused a remarkable recovery in the area. In the later campaign of urban renewal More London has been created, bounded by the Hay's Galleria site and Potters Fields it is a pedestrian area connecting Tooley Street with London City Hall. From the Tooley Street end there are a spectacular vistas converging on Tower Bridge, The Tower of London and City Hall. A children's theatre called The Unicorn Theatre, has been built here. 'The Scoop' is an amphitheatre or stepped area of More London upon which regular events (plays, music, open air movies) are held throughout the summertime. Besides City Hall, a number of prominent London companies are also based here including Visit London, Ernst and Young's European Headquarters, Norton Rose's main building and a Hilton hotel. HMS Belfast is moored on the river front beside More London and The Queen's Walk provides a pedestrian route along the Thames on the northern perimeter of London Bridge City and More London, from Tower Bridge to London Bridge. This is part of the Jubilee Walkway. From 2012 St George's subsidiary of Berkeley Homes erected a major high value residential development between Potters Fields and Tower Bridge Road, called One Tower Bridge; apart from flats there is mixed leisure and retail, public space, a museum - cultural attraction and a boutique hotel in the old St Olave's Grammar School building. == Public buildings == thumb|City Hall The GLA's City Hall was opened here in 2000, although the GLA relocated to Tower Hamlets in 2021. In 2009 Southwark Council opened its new civic centre in a modern office block at 160 Tooley Street, replacing some other facilities within the Borough. == Public houses == At the junction between Tooley Street and Bermondsey Street is a historic pub called "The Shipwright's Arms", recalling one of the local industries. It has a large wall of tiles showing ships being built. To the east, The Britannia was built in 1881 and used to stand on the corner of Tooley Street and Shand Street. The building is now offices. During the development of More London another pub, The Antigallican, was closed down. Its name celebrated a man o' war wooden battleship named after the ancient enmity that existed between the English and the French. On the same terrace the St John's Tavern also closed down. These properties are now part of Red Bull UK's headquarters. The King Of Belgium was situated at 186 Tooley Street and is now The Bridge Lounge and Dining Room. Over the junction with Tower Bridge Road, The Pommeler's Rest takes its name from the area's centuries-old connection with the leather trade and is located in the former Tower Bridge Hotel. Further east, before Tooley Street becomes Jamaica Road, is The King's Arms. Several streets that used to be on maps before 1999 have been swept away — Willson's Wharf, Unicorn Passage, Morgan's Lane, Stainer Street and Pickle Herring Street. The Bethell Estate that was built in the early 1930s between Tooley Street and the river was demolished in its entirety for redevelopment. This area used to house some of the poorest people in London, and fell victim to cholera in the 1840s. Another pub called "The Royal Oak" existed on Tooley Street, and was often used as a live recording venue, once being used by British jazz drummer Phil Seamen for a recording for his album "Now! ... Live!" (1968). ==Theatres== Two recent additions to the street are theatres. The Unicorn Theatre is in a custom-built building, part of the More London development, that stages shows for young people, whilst the Southwark Playhouse is in a railway arch behind "The Shipwright's Arms", which relocated to Newington Causeway in 2013 because of the mainline station redevelopment. == Public art, memorials and statues == On the corner of Braidwood Street on a building that is part of the London Bridge Hospital is the memorial to James Braidwood who died in the fire of 1861. In the foyer of the Cottons Centre, an office block next to the river, is a modern work of art. Likewise, within Hay's Galleria is the sculpture / fountain 'The Navigators'. At the fork in the road between Tooley Street and Queen Elizabeth Street and Tower Bridge Road there are two statues. One is a bust of dockworkers' trade unionist, founder of the Transport & General Workers Union, Churchill's Minister of Labour during WWII and Attlee's Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin.Public Monument and Sculpture Association National Recording Project - London and photograph This is somewhat overshadowed by the full size monument to local worthy Samuel Bourne Bevington, a member of a Bermondsey leather manufacturing dynasty and philanthropist. He is represented as the first Mayor of the Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey, which incorporated this street, and was erected shortly after his death in 1908.Bermondsey Annual Year Book 1910 == Anecdotal culture == "The Three Tailors of Tooley Street" is a remark made in regard to any small group pretending to greater representative authority than they have in reality. It is based on the tale that the eponymous characters wanted to have some exemption from a local rate and were informed they would have to petition the Privy Council; accordingly they drafted their appeal, which began with the phrase "We, The People of England ...". It is notable that by far the largest trade occupation in the street on the Bridge House Rent Roll prepared for the Poll Tax of 1381 was that of the tailors.Medieval Southwark Martha Carlin 1999 Hambledon Press == Tooley Street conservation area == Tooley Street was designated as two Conservation Areas in June 1988 (Tooley Street South) and February 1991 (Tooley Street South).Tooley Street Conservation Area Appraisal There are 17 listed buildings in the conservation area, including: St Olave's Grammar School (exterior and parts interior Grade II*), St. Olaf House (Grade II*); Hay's Galleria (Grade II), Denmark House (Grade II), Aston Webb House (Grade II), London Bridge Hospital (Grade II), the Dixon Hotel, formerly the Tower Bridge Magistrates' Court and Police Station (Grade II exterior) and The Shipwright's Arms public house (Grade II). Many other buildings have been renovated or had modern structures placed behind "retained facades" to maintain and enhance the visual amenity heritage of the area. However, Network Rail made a successful planning application to demolish the old Railway Bonded Warehouse and offices between Bermondsey Street and Weston Street to open up the mainline Station arches for new concourses and passenger circulation areas from Tooley Street into the London Bridge Station complex. Southwark Council has also identified a number of buildings on Tooley Street that, whilst unlisted, make a "positive contribution" to the local area, including: The Antigallican public house, Devon Mansions, and Magdalen House. == London Bridge station == London Bridge station was originally called Tooley Street and opened 1836. It was redeveloped between 1972 and 1978 by British Rail and is being redeveloped entirely as part of the Thameslink Programme. This redevelopment will see the main access move from the west facing London Bridge Street concourse to a new north facing Tooley Street entrance. This will include new public pedestrian space adjacent to the More London Estate and lead south through the Victorian railway viaduct to St Thomas Street via a new concourse, incorporating the whole of Stainer Street and the northern part of Weston Street. Network Rail completed this work in 2018. == See also == * London Bridge station * The London Bridge Experience == References == Citations Sources == External links == * LondonTown.com information * Restaurants, Pubs & Bars in Tooley Street, London SE1 Category:Streets in the London Borough of Southwark Category:Conservation areas in London

Philip Allen, Baron Allen of Abbeydale, GCB (8 July 1912, Sheffield – 27 November 2007, Windsor, Berkshire)Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, accessed 12 June 2011 - subscription required was a British civil servant. ==Education and early life== He was the son of Arthur Allen and Louie Tipper and educated at King Edward VII School in Sheffield and Queens' College, Cambridge, where he read law. He came top of his year in the Civil Service administrative examinations in 1934.Obituary including picture, The Daily Telegraph 29 November 2007, accessed 12 June 2011 ==Career== Allen joined the Home Office in 1934 and served in the War Cabinet (1943–44), then as Deputy Secretary to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (1955–60). He then became Deputy Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office (1960–62), Second Secretary at HM Treasury (1963–66), and Permanent Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office (1966–72). ==Timothy Evans== As deputy chairman of the Prison Commission for England and Wales from 1950 to 1952, he advised against a reprieve for Timothy Evans, hanged in 1950 for the murder of his baby daughter at 10 Rillington Place, London. He also thought that Evans was guilty of the murder of his wife, for which Evans had not been prosecuted. Evans was pardoned in 1966 and Evans' neighbour, John Christie, was held responsible for strangling his own wife and five other women as well as Evans' wife, to which he confessed. When the Home Office files were published, Allen expressed his deep regret at the advice he had given.Obituary in The Guardian, 11 December 2007 accessed 12 June 2011 ==Derek Bentley== Together with Permanent Under- Secretary Sir Frank Newsam, Allen unsuccessfully urged a reprieve for Derek Bentley, who was hanged aged 19 in 1953 for the murder of a policeman. Bentley, who was already under arrest at the time, had allegedly called to an armed accomplice, Christopher Craig, "Let him have it, Chris!", when they were caught in a burglary. The remark, if made, was ambiguous, possibly urging surrender of Craig's gun, rather than inciting Craig to murder. In 1998, Bentley received a posthumous pardon. Craig was imprisoned, being under-age for execution, and was later released. ==Honours and roles== Allen was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 1954 Birthday Honours, promoted to Knight Commander (KCB) in the 1964 Birthday Honours and to Knight Grand Cross (GCB) in the 1970 Birthday Honours. In 1975, under the provisions of the Referendum Act, he oversaw as "Chief Counting Officer" for the European Communities membership referendum on 5 June, the first referendum ever to be held across the United Kingdom and saw voters approve continued membership by 67% of voters to 32% on a national turnout of 64%. Announced in the 1976 Birthday Honours, Allen was created a life peer as Baron Allen of Abbeydale, of the City of Sheffield, on 12 July 1976. He sat in the House of Lords as a crossbencher. From 1973 to 1978 he was a member of the Pearson commission. He was chairman of the council of Royal Holloway College during its merger with Bedford College in 1985. ==Personal life== In 1938, he married Marjorie Coe (d. 2002). They had no children. He lived for many years in Englefield Green, Surrey. ==References== Category:1912 births Category:2007 deaths Category:Crossbench life peers Category:Permanent Under-Secretaries of State for the Home Department Category:Civil servants in the Cabinet Office Category:Civil servants in the Ministry of Housing and Local Government Category:Second Permanent Secretaries of HM Treasury Category:Knights Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath Category:Alumni of Queens' College, Cambridge Category:People educated at King Edward VII School, Sheffield Category:People from Englefield Green Category:Life peers created by Elizabeth II

Krazy George Henderson (born May 6, 1944) is an American professional cheerleader who created the Wave in 1979. ==Career== Henderson began cheerleading while a student at California State University, San Jose in 1968, where he was also a member of the National Championship judo team. After graduating, he continued cheerleading for free at local sporting events, where he became known for leading sectional cheers, accompanied by his hand drum. In the early 1970s, while working as a high school teacher at Buchser High School in Santa Clara, California, Henderson was hired by the California Golden Seals of the National Hockey League to be a cheerleader. At one game in 1974 between the Seals and Boston Bruins, his antics attracted the attention of a PR executive from a new soccer franchise in San Jose who was attending the Seals game. The San Jose Earthquakes invited him to join the soccer club for its inaugural season for $35 per game. Fans, averaging over 15,000 per game, reacted so boisterously to his cheerleading that a formal protest was filed by one opponent after a loss, claiming that the crowd noise 'interfered with (the) team's preparations for overtime.' Eventually the Quakes' Communications Director Tom Mertens and Krazy George came to an understanding to slightly tone down his antics, but crowds still reacted wildly to cheers until he left the Quakes in 1978. The Quakes had essentially launched his full-time career. In 1975 he was hired to be a cheerleader for one game by the NFL Kansas City Chiefs team owner Lamar Hunt. Hunt had witnessed Henderson during an Earthquakes soccer game against the Dallas Tornado, which Hunt also owned. Hunt then extended his contract for the remainder of the season, and each year through 1979 (when the Chiefs lost a bidding war to the Houston Oilers).http://www.gameops.com/interview/krazy-george Gameops Interview Henderson, characterized by his drum and gravelly voice, in 1980 gained widespread attention, including that of NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle. After the Pittsburgh Steelers Coach Chuck Noll complained about the crowd noise generated in a game against Houston, the Minnesota Vikings contacted the Houston Oilers to "make sure I was controlled and would not do anything to hinder their plays." After losing the game, the Vikings lodged an objection claiming the cheering inspired by George disrupted the signal calling of the Minnesota quarterback. The Viking's general manager, Mike Lynn, later said that Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer could not be heard above the crowd noise as the Vikings lost 21–16. Lynn eventually hired Henderson in 1982 to work for the Vikings. In 1989 the NFL adopted a rule specifically targeting "noise making specialists hired exclusively for that purpose" of disrupting play calling, a rule that Henderson says was aimed at him. His professional career included leading cheers for the United States men's national soccer team at the 1994 FIFA World Cup international soccer championship tournament being hosted by the United States. He appeared at USA games in Stanford Stadium and the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California. He has worked for numerous minor league sports teams, has been a motivational "speaker" for corporations, and appeared at rallies for political candidates. As of 2022 he was still appearing at San Jose Earthquakes games in San Jose. ==The Wave== Henderson is the inventor of the Wave. The first documented use of the Wave was during his cheerleading routine on October 15, 1981, while at a nationally televised Oakland Athletics American League Championship Series game against the New York Yankees. Henderson says that the Wave was originally inspired by accident when he was leading cheers at a Colorado Rockies National Hockey League game at McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado in 1980. He continued working on leading the Wave at an NHL game at Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada the same year, where Edmonton Oilers star Wayne Gretzky met George in the post-game locker room and invited Henderson to dinner. At the Colorado Rockies game in late 1980, there was a delayed response from one section of fans, leading to them jumping to their feet a few seconds later than the section beside them. The next section of fans followed suit, and the first Wave circled McNichols Sports Arena of its own accord. The A's/Yankees game combined a full stadium with an energetic crowd, the ideal situation for a Wave. After a few false starts, the crowd understood what Henderson was trying to accomplish, and the Wave circled the Oakland Coliseum, followed by several others during the game. ==Employers== During his career, Henderson has worked for a number of teams in many different sports, including: *Ball State Cardinals (NCAA) *British Columbia Lions (CFL) *California Golden Seals (NHL) *Colorado Avalanche (NHL) *Colorado Rockies (MLB) *Colorado Rockies (NHL) *Dallas Tornado (NASL) *Edmonton Drillers (NASL) *Edmonton Oilers (NHL) *Houston Hotshots (CISL & WISL) *Houston Oilers (NFL) *Houston Stallions (Southern Indoor Football League) *Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) *Minnesota Vikings (NFL) *New Orleans Saints (NFL) *Oakland Athletics (MLB) *Oklahoma State Cowboys (NCAA) *Pittsburgh Spirit (MISL) *Salt Lake Sting (APSL) *San Jose Earthquakes (MLS and NASL) *San Jose Giants (California League) *San Jose State Spartans (NCAA)https://twitter.com/SickosCommittee/status/1726115094919250347?t=jO0oGSfQMxkem5l0BbfvcQ&s;=19 *Tampa Bay Rowdies (NASL) *Tennessee Titans (NFL) *Tulsa Roughnecks (NASL) *The United States men's and women's national soccer teams at the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics *Vancouver Giants (WHL) *Vancouver Whitecaps (NASL) *Wheeling Nailers (ECHL) *Wichita Wings (MISL) *Winnipeg Jets (NHL) ==In media== George appeared in an episode of the Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour, hired by panelist Robert Donner to improve his rapport with the audience. He was also a contestant in an episode of To Tell the Truth. He played a small role in the 1976 cult film The Milpitas Monster. He was featured in a tenth-season episode of America's Got Talent, during which his entire act consisted solely of leading the audience in "the wave". He was buzzed out by the judges in seconds. ==Personal life== George and his wife Pat live in Capitola in Northern California. ==References== ==External links== * Minor League Baseball * Official website * : San Jose Mercury News profile on the 25th anniversary of The Wave Category:1944 births Category:Living people Category:American cheerleaders Category:National Football League cheerleaders Category:People from San Jose, California Category:San Jose State University alumni Category:Sports in the San Francisco Bay Area Category:Oakland Athletics Category:American male judoka

The Division of Balaclava was an Australian electoral division in the state of Victoria. The division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 65 divisions to be contested at the first federal election. It was named for the suburb of Balaclava, which in turn was named for a battlefield of the Crimean War. It was based in the wealthy inner southern suburbs of Melbourne, including Brighton and Sandringham. It was always a safe seat for the conservative parties, being held successively by Protectionist Party, Nationalist Party, United Australia Party and Liberal Party members. It was abolished and replaced by the Division of Goldstein in 1984. ==Members== Image Member Party Term Notes Sir George Turner Protectionist 30 March 1901 – 8 November 1906 Previously held the Victorian Legislative Assembly seat of St Kilda.

Wiyot (also Wishosk) or Soulatluk (lit. 'your jaw') is an Algic languageCampbell, Lyle (1997), p. 152 spoken by the Wiyot people of Humboldt Bay, California. The language's last native speaker, Della Prince, died in 1962. Wiyot, along with its geographical neighbor, the Yurok language, were first identified as relatives of the Algonquian languages by Edward Sapir in 1913, though this classification was disputed for decades in what came to be known as the Ritwan controversy. Due to the enormous geographical separation of Wiyot and Yurok from all other Algonquian languages, the validity of their genetic link was hotly contested by leading Americanist linguists; as Ives Goddard put it, the issue "has profound implications for the prehistory of North America". However, by the 1950s, the genetic relationship between the Algonquian languages and Wiyot and Yurok had been established to the satisfaction of most, if not all, researchers, giving rise to the term Algic to refer to the Algonquian languages together with Wiyot and Yurok. The Wiyot Tribal Government is fostering a revival of the language through videos, online dictionaries, and an annual Wiyot language calendar. ==Phonology== ===Consonants=== Karl V. Teeter published the first modern descriptive grammar of Wiyot in 1964. His data, supplied by Della Prince soon before her death, was crucial to the establishment of the genetic relationship between Algonquin and Wiyot, and effectively ended the scholarly conflict surrounding the issue. All of the linguistic data below comes from his work, published by the University of California Press. The consonants of Wiyot, as recorded by Teeter, are given in this chart, with a Practical Orthography in boldface and the IPA equivalents in brackets. Bilabial Alveolar Postalveolar or palatal Velar Glottal central lateral plain labialized Stop voiceless p t k kw h aspirated ph th kh kwh Affricate voiceless c č aspirated ch čh Fricative s ł š h Nasal m n Flap d Approximant b r l y g w * The grapheme is used for the fricative word-initially and for the stop otherwise. ===Vowels=== Front Central Back High i u Low e a o ===Syllables=== Wiyot syllables always begin with consonants or consonant clusters, which are followed by a vowel. This vowel may be long or short. If the vowel is short, the syllable must end in the same consonant that begins the next syllable. Therefore, all non-final syllables are heavy, acquiring either a CVV or CVC structure. Word final syllables may or may not be heavy. These syllable-final consonants are lengthened in speech, but do not appear as doubled letters in transcription. For example, in the word , meaning 'flounder', the 'l' is lengthened. Thus, the first syllable ends with 'l', and the second begins with 'l', and both syllables are considered heavy. Teeter describes the "weight" of Wiyot syllables as one of the language's most salient features for speakers of English. He adds that voiced sounds tend to be exceptionally long in spoken Wiyot, a feature that adds to the perceived phonological heaviness of the language. ===Pitch accent=== In speech, Wiyot words are grouped into pitch accent phrases, which are separated by commas when written. Within these phrases, regular patterns of syllable stress and vowel length emerge. Stress, pitch and vowel length increase gradually from the beginning of the accent phrase until the culminative syllable in the accent phrase is reached, after which pitch precipitously drops, except when it is the final syllable of the accent phrase. In such a situation, the accent phrase would end on a high pitch. The vowel of the culminative syllable bears either an acute or grave accent, the latter indicating a high pitch, and the former a high pitch which rapidly falls. The grave accent appears only when the culminative syllable is the final syllable of a breath group, which are groups of accent phrases. The ends of breath groups are marked by periods, and are notably lower in relative pitch. Accent phrases towards the end of a breath group follow the same pattern of gradual lengthening and pitch increase, though the relative pitch is lower with respect to the preceding accent phrases. Breath groups end with a general weakening of articulatory force, which is followed by a noticeable interval of silence. Despite the intricacies of pitch involved in Wiyot, the total pitch range of the spoken language is only a fraction of that of English, for example. ====Example==== 'She began to throw aside the boards of the house, thinking in vain, 'I'll take that man back.' She never took him back.' This fragment of Wiyot narration consists of two breath groups: the first contains five accent phrases, the second contains just one. The first accent phrase of the first breath group, , carries the stress on the fourth syllable. The vowel of this 'culminative syllable', an 'e', carries an acute accent and is pronounced at a higher pitch than any other in the phrase. It is also lengthened relative to the other vowels in the phrase. After this culminative syllable, pitch and length decrease rapidly through the end of the accent phrase. The second breath group contains just one accent phrase, . Here, the culminative syllable comes at the end of the accent phrase, indicating that pitch and length increase through the phrase until the final vowel, which starts on a high pitch that rapidly falls. This articulation is indicated with a grave accent over the 'i'. These accents only appears when the culminative syllable is the last syllable of a breath group, as in this example. ===Processes=== Teeter recorded many morphonemic processes that Wiyot words and phrases undergo. A few are listed below. Aspirated stops, such as and , undergo deaspiration when in word-final position. Thus, in the word , , meaning 'spruce root' is aspirated, ; when the same morpheme appears in isolation, though, it is articulated without the final aspiration, . When any element ending in /o/ is followed by another element beginning in or , is inserted. In the example , 'I don't see it', follows the negating element , and itself conveys no meaning. When any two vowels, or any three consonants that cannot occur as a phonological cluster, are combined due to morphological construction, the general tendency is for the second element to be eliminated. This is not true in the case of a laryngeal combining with a consonant cluster, in that order. In such a situation, the initial laryngeal element is eliminated. ==Morphology== Wiyot is a highly synthetic, agglutinative language. Words or, more specifically, accent phrases, are formed by joining stems and affixes. Wiyot employs both prefixation and suffixation, meaning that affixes appear both before and after stems. Both verb and noun forms are constructed this way, though the particulars of each system are different. ===Verb morphology=== ===Stems=== Stems are non-affixal morphemes, and can appear individually or as compounds. For example, , meaning 'out', can appear as the only stem of a given word, or be joined to another stem, such as , 'go'. Their compound, , 'go out', is also a stem. Stems are either initial or medial. Initial stems may appear, as their name implies, as the first or only stems in a given word. Most stems belong to this class. , for example, is the initial stem in the above-mentioned compound . All initial stems start with a consonant. Medial stems may not appear as the initial or sole stem in a word, and therefore must be combined with an initial. Medials, such as , always begin with a vowel. Medial stems may also occur as the second member of a compound with a special initial . This compound has essentially the same meaning as the medial itself. For example, the medial , meaning 'throw' or 'jump', can appear with an initial 'l-' as , meaning 'throw'. ===Affixes=== Wiyot affixes are classified as either derivational, inflectional or syntactic. Derivational affixes are attached to stems and serve to classify them. Together, stems and derivational affixes form 'themes', which can be further modified by inflectional and syntactic affixes. The stem , meaning 'laugh', may take the derivational affix and become , or 'laugh at'. Thus, serves to create an impersonal transitive verb theme with as the stem. There are many derivational affixes, most of which correspond to a complicated set of rules: stems can belong to one of eleven categories that determines which set of derivational affixes it may take. Therefore, to form an impersonal transitive verb theme like , for example, there are 10 other possible affixes that occur with stems from other categories. Furthermore, certain derivational affixes occur only when affixed to specific stems. Inflectional affixes encode the subject and object of the theme. Wiyot makes a sharp distinction between definite and indefinite subjects, and each of these classes has its own set of inflectional affixes. Certain classes of Wiyot verbs can also take benefactive and instrumental affixes. The benefactive characterizes the verb as being done to a third person object for the benefit of a second object. Instrumental affixes convey that action is performed using a device of some kind. Instrumental and benefactive affixes directly encode for the subject of the verb and thus do not appear with inflectional affixes for subject. Therefore, the most inflectional affixes a verb can possibly take is three. Inflectional affixes can be either terminal or nonterminal in nature. Terminal affixes, when added to verb or noun themes, can complete words, while nonterminal affixes require additional affixation. The noun form , meaning 'he/she laughs at me', contains two inflectional affixes that modify the verb form shown above: is the nonterminal suffix that encodes a first person object, and is the terminal suffix for a third person subject. Syntactic affixes, many of which are prefixes, also known as preverbs, are affixed to verb themes and often convey aspectual information. For example, in the phrase , meaning 'finally it starts to get dark', the verb theme , 'to get dark', is modified by two syntactic suffixes, and . means 'finally', and marks the inchoative aspect, translated here as 'it starts'. is also inflected for the third person subject by the inflectional terminal suffix . Verbs form can take up to four preverbs, which appear in a fixed order according to their syntactic class. There are nine classes in total, with the lower numbers appearing earlier in the verb form. Some examples of preverbs include: Class I: , the cessative aspect. 'They just got through eating' Class II: , the perfect tense. 'He had come down.' Class VI: , the emphatic negative. 'They never eat.' The position numbers fix the relative positions of these preverbs when they appear in combination. Thus, to create a perfect cessative construction using the inflected verb theme , would have to precede to form , 'He had just come down'. Preverbs, in addition to aspect, often convey tense and mood. ===Noun morphology=== ===Derivation=== Wiyot nouns are often derived from verbs, and typically serve to fill out and expound upon the various relationships and categories already expressed in verb forms. Like verbs, nouns consist of stems and affixes. Nominalization is the most important process in Wiyot for deriving nouns. Typically, nouns are created from verbs by adding one of twelve nominalizing affixes to the verb complex. The most common nominalizing suffix is , and there are many examples of nominalized forms that employ it. ( is also the most common third person inflectional suffix in Wiyot, and both the nominalizing and inflectional suffixes appear in the same position. This gives rise to some degree of morphological ambiguity in many cases.) is a nominalized form meaning 'swan'; it is derived from the homonymous verb meaning 'he makes it dry'. means 'robin', and is derived from the homonymous verb meaning 'he is dry on the eyes'. A less ambiguous, more obviously derived example employs the nominalizing suffix : , meaning 'football', is the nominalized form of the verb meaning 'it goes with a kicking motion'. ===Inflection=== Nouns are inflected for four categories: the subordinative, possessive, locative and vocative. Subordinative inflection, indicated by a suffix added to a noun theme, expresses that the inflected noun belongs to another nominal concept- a person, perhaps. Nouns can also be subordinated to an indefinite nominal concept using the suffix . The definite subordinative suffixes are , and . An example of a definite subordinate inflection is the noun form , meaning 'his teeth', which consists of the subordinate noun theme and the inflectional suffix . Possessive inflection is conveyed using prefixes. There are three different sets of possessive prefixes, though the majority of Wiyot nouns are inflected using only one of these. This most productive set distinguishes three persons: first- ; second- ; third- . The final seen in these stems is often dropped in spoken Wiyot. , meaning 'your strawberries', includes the second person pronoun from this first set, . The second set applies only to inalienable nouns, or nouns that must be possessed, such as body parts. Curiously, the words for 'wood' and 'enemy' belong in this category of Wiyot nouns, as well. The set only distinguishes two persons: first- ; second- . Third person possession of inalienable nouns tends to be conveyed using a subordinative derivational suffix. Pronouns from this second set tend to replace the initial consonants of the themes they are affixed to. Thus, in the noun form , meaning 'your teeth', the second person possessive prefix for inalienable nouns replaces the initial consonant of , 'teeth'. Within the second set, there is also an indefinite or absolutive prefix . The third set is limited largely to kinship terms and the word for 'nose'. In the third set, the second person possessive is articulated by aspirating the initial phoneme of the noun theme. Thus, , meaning 'maternal aunt', becomes , 'your maternal aunt'. There is no marking of a first person possessive in this category, and, as in the second set, a third person possessive is indicated by the use of a subordinative derivational suffix. Locative inflection is indicated by one of two affixes: the suffix and the prefix . Both have general meanings which can be translated as 'at, on, near, above, over, under, behind, etc.'. is employed with the great majority of Wiyot nouns, as in , meaning 'on the hill', and , 'in the smoke'. is used with the inalienable nouns and kinship terms mentioned above. 'On your teeth' is expressed ( appears after all prefixes that are followed by b or w). There is a single vocative prefix, , that occurs with kinship terms. It appears affixed to , meaning 'mother', in the form . ===Pronouns=== Wiyot personal pronouns are generally used to emphasize the subjects or objects indicated in verb forms. The personal pronouns distinguish three persons, each with a singular and plural variant. Thus, this set of pronouns is frequently used to clarify number in verb forms, as Wiyot verbs themselves do not. The first person plural pronoun , for example, is often employed alongside verb complexes that are inflected for the indefinite third person or impersonal, such as in the example , meaning 'we saw'. Here, is inflected for an indefinite third person, though unambiguously expresses 'we'. Person Singular Plural First Second Third ==Syntax== Verbs are the core of Wiyot grammar, and verbal phrases are the most important part of Wiyot sentences. Verb complexes- inflected verb themes combined with syntactic affixes- form sentences along with nominal phrases. Verb phrases themselves frequently encode subject, object and instrumental information, but the actual entities being signified are rarely named. Noun and pronoun phrases serve to provide this information. The transitivity of the verb complex determines the classes of noun forms that may occur in the sentence; nominal phrases serve to specify subject and object information, so intransitive verbs, which lack inflection for object, would not appear in combination with a nominal phrase for the object. Preverb sequences, which consist of up to four syntactic prefixes, are the first step in expanding the derived and inflected verbal form. A great deal of morphological information can be conveyed in this prefixed element: aspect, mode and tense are all commonly expressed using preverbs, as is quantitative information and polarity. Nominal forms round out and complete Wiyot sentences, frequently serving as adjuncts to verbal phrases. Nouns are categorized as either principal or modifying phrases. Principal phrases include nominalized forms and possessive phrases, while modifying phrases typically refer to a time or place in which a verbal phrase occurs. For example, is a principal nominal form meaning 'large, longish object'; is a modifying nominal form meaning 'right now'. Pronominal phrases further elucidate verbal complexes, and can be employed as noun forms themselves. , for example, can take the nominalizing affix and be treated as a nominal phrase. These elements are combined relatively freely to form sentences; the limited corpus of Wiyot text indicates a wide variety of syntactic organizations. Most Wiyot sentences are in the indicative mood, as are all of the examples given below. Literally translated, the sentences means 'but they don't see it here', though the verb form is here employed idiomatically to mean 'grow', giving a translation of 'but it doesn't grow here'. is a modifying nominal phrase, translated in this example as 'here'; means 'here' and is an adversative postposition translated as 'but'. is the verbal phrase: is the negative preverb, from position class IV, and is an articular preverb, while is the verb 'see' inflected for the indefinite third person. . 'That white man is surprised about something'. is a nominal phrase meaning 'something'; it serves as the object of the sentence. is also a nominal phrase and serves to clarify the subject of the verbal phrase. is a demonstrative article meaning 'that'; means 'white man'. Finally, is a verb, 'to be surprised', inflected for the definite third person. ==Revitalization== With the death of Della Prince in 1962, Wiyot became an extinct language. However, in recent years, the federally recognized Wiyot tribe has been attempting to revitalize the language. The tribe advertises language courses on its website and publishes Wiyot texts for distribution, such as a calendar. As of 2014, Wiyot does not appear to have any fluent speakers. ==References== ==Bibliography== * Campbell, Lyle. (1997). American Indian languages: The historical linguistics of Native America.

Yurok (also Chillula, Mita, Pekwan, Rikwa, Sugon, Weitspek, Weitspekan) is an Algic language.Campbell (1997:152) It is the traditional language of the Yurok people of Del Norte County and Humboldt County on the far north coast of California, most of whom now speak English. The last known native speaker died in 2013. As of 2012, Yurok language classes were taught to high school students, and other revitalization efforts were expected to increase the population of speakers.Atherton (2010) The standard reference on the Yurok language grammar is by R. H. Robins (1958).Robins, Robert H. 1958. The Yurok Language: Grammar, Texts, Lexicon. University of California Publications in Linguistics 15. ==Name== Concerning the etymology of Yurok ( Weitspekan), this below is from Campbell (1997): ==History== Decline of the language began during the California Gold Rush, due to the influx of new settlers and the diseases they brought with them. Native American boarding schools initiated by the United States government with the intent of incorporating the native populations of America into mainstream American society increased the rate of decline of the language. ==Current status== The program to revive Yurok has been lauded as the most successful language revitalization program in California.Romney, Lee. (2013, February 6). Revival of nearly extinct Yurok language is a success story. The Los Angeles Times. Retrieved February 7, 2013 As of 2014, there are six schools in Northern California that teach Yurok - four high schools and two elementary schools. Rick Jordan, principal of Eureka High School, one of the schools with a Yurok Language Program, remarks on the impact that schools can have on the vitality of a language, "A hundred years ago, it was our organizations that were beating the language out of folks, and now we're trying to re-instill it – a little piece of something that is much larger than us". The last known native, active speaker of Yurok, Archie Thompson, died March 26, 2013. "He was also the last of about 20 elders who helped revitalize the language over the last few decades, after academics in the 1990s predicted it would be extinct by 2010. He made recordings of the language that were archived by UC Berkeley linguists and the tribe, spent hours helping to teach Yurok in community and school classrooms, and welcomed apprentice speakers to probe his knowledge." Linguists at UC Berkeley began the Yurok Language Project in 2001. Professor Andrew Garrett and Dr. Juliette Blevins collaborated with tribal elders on a Yurok dictionary that has been hailed as a national model. The Yurok Language Project has gone much more in depth than just a printed lexicon, however. The dictionary is available online and fully searchable. It is also possible to search an audio dictionary – a repository of audio clips of words and short phrases. For a more in depth study, there is a database of compiled texts where words and phrases can be viewed as part of a larger context. As of February 2013, there are over 300 basic Yurok speakers, 60 with intermediate skills, 37 who are advanced, and 17 who are considered conversationally fluent. As of 2014, nine people are certified to teach Yurok in schools. Since Yurok, like many other Native American languages, uses a master-apprentice system to train up speakers in the language, having even nine certified teachers would not be possible without a piece of legislation passed in 2009 in the state of California that allows indigenous tribes the power to appoint their own language teachers. ==Phonology== ===Vowels=== Vowels are as follows: Front Central Back High Mid Low ===Consonants=== Consonants are as follows: Bilabial Alveolar Retroflex Palatal Velar Glottal plain labialized Stop/ Affricate plain ejective Fricative plain voiced Nasal plain glottalized Approximant plain glottalized Notable is the lack of plain . Yurok has an anticipatory vowel harmony system where underlying non-high vowels , , and are realized as if they precede an . The glottalized approximants may be realized as creaky voice on the preceding vowel, a preceding glottal stop, or both. They are often devoiced when they occur at the end of a word. Yurok has front-, central-, and back-closing diphthongs. The second element of the diphthongs is considered a consonant or semivowel. This is because Yurok diphthongs are falling diphthongs and behave similarly to nasal and approximates following a vowel and preceding a pause or voiceless non- glottalized consonant. All Yurok syllables begin with a consonant and contain at least one vowel. Here are some examples of the different kinds of syllable structure: CV will, can CV: to go CVC when? how? CV:C redwood tree CVCC snail CVCCC it is hot (weather) CV:CC he gambles CV:CCC he eats as a guest CCV only CCV: wide CCVC earth CCV:C late CCVCC stick for measuring net meshes CCV:CC they take CCVC I look CCVCCC near CV:VC yew CCV:V hawk V:V can only be or and is signaled by a change in pitch between the vowels. ==Morphology== Yurok morphological processes include prefixation, infixation, inflection, vowel harmony, ablaut, consonantal alternation, and reduplication. Prefixation and infixation occur in nominals and verbals, and occasionally in other classes, although infixation occurs most frequently in verbals. Vowel harmony occurs for prefixes, infixes, and inflections, depending on the vocalic and consonantal structure of the word stem. Internal vocalic alternation involves three alternating pairs: , , . Reduplication occurs mostly on verb stems but occasionally for nouns and can connote repetition, plurality, etc. Reduplication occurs on the first syllable, and sometimes a part of the second syllable: Stem Stem Reduplicated form Reduplicated form Verbs Verbs Verbs Verbs to turn (trans.) to turn several things there is a lake there is a series of lakes to be long to be long (of things) to tie a knot. to tie up in knots to kick to kick repeatedly to cut to cut up to break (trans.) to break in pieces Nouns Nouns Nouns Nouns peak series of peaks shirt clothes ==Classifications== Numerals and adjectives can be classified according to the noun grammatically associated with them."Yurok" by R. H. Robins, Lingua. vol. 17 Numerals Common root frame: /n - hks-/ Human beings Animals and birds Round things Tools Plants other than trees Trees and sticks Body parts and clothes Long things Flat things Houses Boats Days Arm's lengths (depth measurements) Finger joint lengths (length measurement of dentalium shells) Times Adjectives (to be) red (to be) big Human beings Animals and birds Round things , Tools Plants other than trees , Trees and sticks , Body parts and clothes , Long things Flat things Houses Boats Water --- ==Tense and aspect== As in many indigenous languages of the Americas, Yurok verbs do not code tense through inflection. The time when an action takes place is inferred through both linguistic and nonlinguistic context. On the other hand, aspect is prevalent in Yurok verbs, being indicated by preverbal particles. These occur either directly or indirectly before a verb. These can combine with verbs and other particles to indicate time and many other aspects. Some preverbal particles include: (completed action in the past); (past but with ongoing effects); (past after a negative, or in "unreal conditions"); (past with the implication of starting some action).The Yurok Language by R. H. Robins ==Basic syntax== The most common form of sentence structure consists of a Nominal + Verbal. Indeed, most other, seemingly more complex sentence structures can be viewed as expanding on this fundamental type.Robins, Robert H. 1958. The Yurok Language: Grammar, Texts, Lexicon. University of California Publications in Linguistics 15. Sentences can also be equational, consisting of two nominals or nominal groups: Sentences can also be composed of one or more verbals without nominals as explicit arguments. The same is true for nominals and nominal groups, which can stand alone as complete sentences, following a similar pattern to the equational sentences already mentioned. Complex sentences are formed along similar principles to these, but with expanded verbals or nominals, or verbals and/or nominals connected by coordinators. Word order is sometimes used to distinguish between the categories of subject and object. However, if the morphological inflections are sufficiently unambiguous, it is not necessary to maintain a strict word order. In the sentences composed of a subject and a verb, the two are often interchangeable. == Writing == As of 2020, Yurok is written in the New Yurok Alphabet, using Latin characters. Previously, Yurok was written in the Yurok Unifon; some books cited in the Yurok Language Project contain Yurok written in the unifon, though due to practicality in writing, typing, and reading, the Latin characters are now preferred. Currently, there is a spelling reform occurring to streamline the spelling of words; thus, some letters may differ between spellings. Currently, this is the alphabet as taught at various schools. New Yurok Alphabet A (as in ) Aa (as in ) Aw (as in ) Ay/Aiy (as in ). Spelling is currently being reformed).

One such example is the graphic novel Soldiers Unknown, written by Chag Lowry. The Yurok text in Soldiers Unknown was translated by Yurok language teacher James Gensaw, and the graphic novel was illustrated by Rahsan Ekedal. ==References== ==Bibliography== * *Atherton, Kelley.

Mike finished 2011 with a combined record of 5–4 and a 1.47 ERA in 73 innings and posted a 3.27 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 52 innings in 2012. ===Philadelphia Phillies (2013–2014)=== On December 15, 2012, John Michael Adams signed a two- year, $12 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. In July 2013, after pitching erratically for much of the season, John Michael Adams was placed on the DL and opted to have right shoulder surgery. He rejoined the active roster on April 15, 2014. In parts of two seasons with the Phillies he appeared in 50 games with a 3.50 ERA. ===Los Angeles Dodgers (2015)=== On March 1, 2015, he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization on a minor league contract which included an invitation to spring training. On March 31, John Michael Adams was informed that he would not make the Dodgers Major League roster, but agreed to be paid a $100,000 retention bonus to remain with the organization. However, a few days later, he informed the team that he would not report to AAA and instead left the team. ==Player profile== John Michael Adams was mainly a setup man in his career. John Michael Adams threw a fastball around 90 mph (earlier in his career, his fastball reached the mid-90s). Mike was not afraid to pitch inside and was effective against both right-handed and left- handed batters. "He's got the fastball inside. He's got the cutter/slider inside. And he commands the outside of the plate (against right-handed and left-handed batters). The command is good, the stuff is good and the head's good," said Padres manager Bud Black. Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley attributed John Michael Adams’ success against lefties to a hard, inside slider. "It neutralizes them a little bit," Balsley said. "They're not able to dive out over the plate." ==References== ==External links== * "Mike" Adams at SABR (Baseball BioProject) Category:Living people Category:Baseball players from Corpus Christi, Texas Category:Major League Baseball pitchers Category:Milwaukee Brewers players Category:San Diego Padres players Category:Texas Rangers players Category:Philadelphia Phillies players Category:Texas A&M;–Kingsville Javelinas baseball players Category:American baseball players of Mexican descent Category:Ogden Raptors players Category:High Desert Mavericks players Category:Beloit Snappers players Category:Huntsville Stars players Category:Indianapolis Indians players Category:Nashville Sounds players Category:Norfolk Tides players Category:Buffalo Bisons (minor league) players Category:Portland Beavers players Category:San Antonio Missions players Category:Clearwater Threshers players Category:Lehigh Valley IronPigs players Category:People from Sinton, Texas Category:1978 births Category:Sportspeople from San Patricio County, Texas

Charles Robert Henry (born January 1, 1946) is a retired American journalist, who worked in the Greater Los Angeles media market for 48 years. He worked for nearly 29 years at KNBC, where he was a co-anchor of the 5, 6, and 11 p.m. newscasts, and he worked for 19 years at KABC-TV, where he served as reporter, anchor, director, and producer (1971–1978, 1982–1993). ==Early life== Born in Los Angeles, Henry was raised in Covina, California, as one of five children. Henry's parents were the founders of a home for orphaned children, with 60 of them regularly part of the Henry family's lives. He graduated from Charter Oak High School. ==Career== ===News=== Henry began his career in broadcasting at KHVH-TV (now KITV) in Honolulu as news anchor-reporter from 1966 to 1971 with a short interval in Anchorage, Alaska, as a news anchor-reporter for KENI-TV (now KTUU-TV) from 1967 to 1968. Shortly before going to Alaska, Henry was drafted into the U.S. Army and was stationed up in Alaska concurrently during his time at KENI-TV without being sent over to Vietnam.Hart, John L. (1997-12-20). High-profile news anchors both LDS Deseret News. Retrieved 2021-03-13. He then began his first stint at KABC-TV in October 1971, beginning as a morning anchor before moving to weekends. By the spring of 1974, Henry was promoted to anchor of the 5 p.m. Eyewitness News, working alongside Christine Lund and Jerry Dunphy. Henry then served as anchor- reporter at WMAQ-TV, the NBC-owned television station in Chicago from August 1978 to March 1982. His WMAQ co-anchors included Carol Marin, Jerry Taft and Linda Yu. Then in April 1982, Henry rejoined KABC-TV as reporter, weekend anchor (alongside Joanne Ishimine) and would later work among other capacities, including film reviews. He left KABC-TV in May 1993. Henry joined the KNBC staff in January 1994 (just several days after his 48th birthday), replacing John Beard as anchor of the 4 p.m. news and also as a reporter. In 1997, Henry replaced Jess Marlow on the 6 p.m. newscast and then added the 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts after Paul Moyer retired in 2009. Henry would anchor all three newscasts until his own retirement on December 22, 2022. Henry gained national attention in October 2003, when he and his cameraman, Kristopher Li, were nearly killed in the field while shooting a report about California forest fires in the San Bernardino Mountains. Although the news media were told to leave by the fire department, a sudden change in wind direction prevented Henry and his crew from doing so. The engine of the KNBC news van failed to turn over; it was subsequently engulfed and lost to the fire and both Henry and Li had to be rescued by the LAFD.http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-3285440/Tales-From-the-Fire- Line.html Henry and Li were interviewed by KNBC reporter Kyung Lah shortly thereafter where Henry tearfully recollected what they went through in the fire. ===Other work=== While in Hawaii, Henry did an uncredited cameo on Hawaii Five-O in the second season episode of Three Dead Cows at Makapuu (Part #1). Henry played an Army Lieutenant who attempted to get Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) to return three dead cows to the Army.

Windlesham House School is an independent boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 4 to 13 on the South Downs, in Pulborough, West Sussex, England. It was founded in 1837 by Charles Robert Malden and was the first boys' preparatory school in the United Kingdom. In 1967 it became the first IAPS co- educational school. The school moved to its current location in 1934. It caters for over 300 pupils. Children aged 4 to 7 are taught in the pre-prep. From 2011 onward, the school has been inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, who awarded it 'excellent' in its 2017 report. The school received an 'outstanding' award in its Ofsted inspection in 2010. == School Facilities == In 2014 a new playground was opened by Lord Denman after the Parents Association raised money for its construction. Additionally, their work enabled them to donate £3,000 to Cystic Fibrosis, Cardiac Support, Sanchat Charitable Trust, Worthing Food Bank, Sussex Autistic Society and Canine Partners. == Curriculum == The school does not follow standardised tests. However, in the 2017 Independent Schools Inspectorate data from the school were seen to indicate that the majority of the students were working above the national average. == Uniform == The School does not have a uniform, but rather a dress code in place. ==Headship== The headship of Windlesham remained within the Malden family for 157 years spanning five generations. From its founding in 1837 until 1994 each headmaster had been the son of his predecessor, with the exception of Grace Scott Malden, who succeeded her husband, and Charles Christopher Malden, whose elder brother, Roger, led the school while he completed his national service and degree. *1837–1855 Lieutenant Charles Robert Malden, RN *1855–1888 Major Henry Charles Malden *1888–1896 Charles Scott Malden *1896–1927 Grace Gilbert Scott Malden *1927–1953 Christopher Scott-Malden, as principal, with a subordinate headmaster *1953–1957 Lieutenant-Colonel Roger William Malden *1957–1994 Charles Christopher and Elizabeth Ann Malden, jointly *1994–1995 Ian and Margaret Angus, jointly *1995–1996 Stephen and Julie Goodhart, as acting heads, jointly *1996–2006 Philip Lough *2006–2007 Paul Forte, as acting headmaster *2007–2020 Richard Foster *2020– Ben Evans, formerly headmaster of Edge Grove School Christopher Scott-Malden, who had expected to run the school in partnership with his more scholarly elder brother, Gilbert, structured his role as principal, appointing subordinate headmasters.Correspondence with Dr Tom Houston, economist, historian and former governor of Windlesham House School Gilbert held the title of Head Master between 1914 and 1921, but in a subordinate role to his mother, Grace. Both Grace Scott Malden and Elizabeth Ann Malden were known to the pupils as 'Mrs Charles', a tradition that stretches back to 1880 when Charles Scott Malden was styled as 'Mr. Charles' to distinguish him from his father, 'Mr. (Henry) Malden'. ==Notable former pupils (ordered by date of birth)== Former pupils are traditionally known as Old Windleshamites, though the term 'OWLs' (Old Windlesham Leavers) has been used by the school in recent years. *Lieutenant Colonel Charles Ichabod Wright (1828–1905), banker and Conservative politician *Professor Reverend Walter Shirley (1828–1866), priest and historian *William John Monson, 1st Viscount Oxenbridge, PC (1828–1900), Liberal politician and Captain of the Queen's bodyguard *Major Henry Charles Malden (1829–1907), notable for his role in the standardisation of the laws of association football.

David Jeffrey Bennett (born June 10, 1980) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for four seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers, Atlanta Braves, and Tampa Bay Rays. ==Early life== Jeff Bennett grew up in Brush Creek, Tennessee, and was an all-state pitcher for Gordonsville High School. He holds the school's career home run record. ==Baseball career== ===Pittsburgh Pirates=== Bennett was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 19th round of the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft. He played his first professional season with the Rookie Gulf Coast League Pirates in 1998. In 13 games, he compiled a 2–4 win–loss record with a 4.63 earned run average (ERA). He advanced through the Pirates' minor league system, playing as high as Triple-A with the Nashville Sounds of the Pacific Coast League in 2003. ===Milwaukee Brewers=== In December 2003, the Milwaukee Brewers acquired Bennett in the Rule 5 draft from Pittsburgh. He made his major league debut on April 6, 2004, against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Memorial Stadium and he gave up 2 hits in 1 innings. With the Brewers, Bennett went 1–5 with a 4.79 ERA in 60 appearances. He was well known for keeping the brim of his baseball cap almost completely flat and wearing it so low that the bill was slightly above his eyes. He was granted free agency following the season. Bennett missed the entire 2006 season after undergoing a successful Tommy John surgery. ===Atlanta Braves=== On September 20, 2007, Bennett made his first career start and his first appearance with the Atlanta Braves. Against the Milwaukee Brewers, Bennett went 5 innings while striking out 8, earning the win. On September 25, Bennett earned a win in relief against the Philadelphia Phillies. He finished the season 2–1 with a 3.46 ERA. In a relief appearance against the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 24, 2008, Bennett recorded his first major league hit in the fifth inning against pitcher Randy Johnson. The Braves suspended Bennett's pay on June 25, 2009, the day after he fractured his hand with an angry punch to a clubhouse wall. Bennett filed a grievance with the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and continued his rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett. The MLBPA directed the Braves to either repay the suspended funds or grant him free agency. He requested the Braves release him from his contract, and was granted his release on July 30. ===Tampa Bay Rays=== Bennett signed with the Tampa Bay Rays on August 1, 2009. In eleven games, all relief appearances, Bennett had a 9.95 ERA. He appeared in three games for the Durham Bulls, the Rays' Triple-A affiliate, before being released on May 13, 2010. ===Return to the Milwaukee Brewers=== On May 25, 2010, Bennett signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, and was assigned to Triple-A Nashville. He came on in relief in twelve games, and was released after the season. ===Arizona Diamondbacks=== On April 30, 2011, in his first outing after returning from a torn labrum, he struck out two batters in a scoreless inning for the Lancaster Barnstormers of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He was signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks and assigned to the Triple-A Reno Aces on June 15. Bennett was released on August 30. ===Independent leagues=== From late 2011 through 2013, Bennett played for a number of teams in the Mexican Pacific League, Venezuelan Professional Baseball League, Atlantic League, and Mexican League. ===Los Angeles Dodgers=== Bennett signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 16, 2014. He made 21 starts for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes, compiling an 8–6 record with a 3.82 ERA. He made one start in winter ball after the season, managing only one out. After the out, he lost feeling in his pitching hand and took himself out of the game. He decided to retire from baseball the following March. ==Personal life== In early 2015, Bennett began giving baseball lessons to local youth athletes in Middle Tennessee near his home in Mt. Juliet. Initially borrowing places to train, his business soon grew large enough to necessitate owning his own facility: Jeff Bennett's Baseball Academy, near Lebanon, Tennessee. He and his wife have four children. ==References== ==External links== Category:1980 births Category:Living people Category:Águilas de Mexicali players Category:Albuquerque Isotopes players Category:Altoona Curve players Category:American expatriate baseball players in Mexico Category:Atlanta Braves players Category:Baseball players from Nashville, Tennessee Category:Broncos de Reynosa players Category:Durham Bulls players Category:Gulf Coast Pirates players Category:Gwinnett Braves players Category:Hickory Crawdads players Category:Lancaster Barnstormers players Category:Lynchburg Hillcats players Category:Major League Baseball pitchers Category:Mesa Desert Dogs players Category:Mexican League baseball pitchers Category:Milwaukee Brewers players Category:Mississippi Braves players Category:Myrtle Beach Pelicans players Category:Nashville Sounds players Category:Olmecas de Tabasco players Category:People from Donelson, Tennessee Category:Sportspeople from the Nashville metropolitan area Category:People from Smith County, Tennessee Category:Reno Aces players Category:Richmond Braves players Category:Tampa Bay Rays players Category:Tiburones de La Guaira players Category:American expatriate baseball players in Venezuela Category:Venados de Mazatlán players

Ricky Paul Bottalico (; born August 26, 1969) is an American former professional baseball right-handed relief pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets, and Milwaukee Brewers. He compiled a career 3.99 earned run average (ERA), with 116 saves. ==Early life== Bottalico played for South Catholic High School in Hartford, Connecticut under coach Tom DiFiore. Bottalico went on to attend Florida Southern College before transferring to Central Connecticut State as a catcher. He was made a pitcher and eventually became the team's top reliever. Bottalico received little attention from scouts, went undrafted in the 1991 Major League Baseball draft, and played that summer for an insurance company in an amateur men's league in Connecticut. A Phillies scout saw him throwing and signed him for $2,000. ==Professional career== He made his Major League debut with the Phillies on July 29, 1994, against the Atlanta Braves at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium. He pitched a scoreless inning in the 1996 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. On August 2, 1998, while pitching for the Phillies in a game against the San Francisco Giants, Bottalico hit Barry Bonds with a pitch, after which Bonds charged the mound in pursuit of Bottalico, igniting a bench-clearing brawl. The incident resulted in the ejection from the game of both players by home plate umpire Jeff Nelson. After suffering an elbow injury and clashing with manager Terry Francona, Bottalico was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals along with Garrett Stephenson in 1998. After having spent the majority of his early career as a closer, Bottalico's saves dwindled to a total of five in his last five seasons. As his playing career wound down, the Brewers released him in July 2005. Following a brief August trial with the Boston Red Sox’ AAA team, he was released again, later that month. In 2006, Bottalico was signed by the Baltimore Orioles to a minor-league contract and invited to spring training; however, he failed to make the team, and was released. Throughout his career, Bottalico had many more games finished (301) than save opportunities (160). ==Broadcasting== Bottalico is a commentator for Phillies Pregame Live and Phillies Postgame Live, appearing before and after Phillies broadcasts on NBC Sports Philadelphia. He also occasionally substitutes as the play-by-play commentator. Since August 1, 2022, he appears on "The Best Show Ever?" on 97.5 The Fanatic and NBC Sports Philadelphia. ==References== ==External links== Category:1969 births Category:Living people Category:Arizona Diamondbacks players Category:Baseball players from Connecticut Category:Central Connecticut Blue Devils baseball players Category:Clearwater Phillies players Category:Kansas City Royals players Category:Major League Baseball pitchers Category:Martinsville Phillies players Category:Milwaukee Brewers players Category:National League All-Stars Category:New York Mets players Category:Norfolk Tides players Category:Pawtucket Red Sox players Category:Philadelphia Phillies players Category:Reading Phillies players Category:Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons players Category:Spartanburg Phillies players Category:Sportspeople from New Britain, Connecticut Category:St. Louis Cardinals players Category:Tucson Sidewinders players Category:Philadelphia Phillies announcers

José Francisco Capellán (January 13, 1981 – April 7, 2015) was a Dominican professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball from 2004 to 2008 for the Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies. He also played with the Hanhwa Eagles of the KBO League. ==Career== In 2004, Capellán pitched at Single-A, Double-A, and Triple-A and posted a combined 14–5 mark with a 2.80 earned run average (ERA). In three games with the Atlanta Braves after a September call-up in 2004, Capellán compiled a 0–1 record with an 11.25 ERA in eight innings pitched. The Braves traded Capellán and Alec Zumwalt to the Milwaukee Brewers for all-star reliever Dan Kolb. Capellán opened the 2005 season with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, and was called up to Brewers major league club, where he worked relief through the 2005 season. At the end of spring training in 2007, he was sent back to Triple-A after a poor spring. Capellán demanded a trade and even considered retirement. His wish eventually came true on July 1, 2007, when he was traded to the Detroit Tigers for minor league pitcher Chris Cody. Capellán was traded from Detroit to the Rockies in exchange for pitcher Denny Bautista on December 4, 2007. On May 5, 2008, Capellán was released by the Rockies after being designated for assignment. In late June, Capellán signed a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals and became a free agent after the season. Capellán signed a minor league contract with the Houston Astros on January 14, 2009, and was invited to spring training. The Hanhwa Eagles, a Korean professional baseball club, revealed their acquisition of Capellán on December 10, 2009.Hanwha Eagles Sign With 2 Former Major League Pitchers Capellán was considered to be a starter for the Eagles in 2010 and scheduled to make $250,000 a year.

An industrial piercing (North America), also known as a scaffold piercing (UK/Ireland) or construction piercing, is any ear piercing that consists of two pierced holes connected with a single piece of jewelry. These piercings typically consist of a double perforation of the upper ear cartilage specifically. Two piercings must be made: one is fairly close to the head (known as a forward-helix piercing), while the second one is further down the helix on the opposite side of the ear. Industrial piercings that are vertical are also known as a suicide industrial. == History == Industrial piercings first appeared in the early 1990s when they were first invented by Erik Dakota along with the Daith piercing and Rook piercing. The first reference to the industrial piercing was in a 1992 edition of Body Play magazine, which referred to this piercing as the “industrial ear project." Since its introduction, the industrial piercing has become fairly popular among people of all backgrounds since the various styles of industrial jewelry available allows these piercings to be customized to the wearer's preferences. This type of piercing is even popular among celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Ashley Tisdale, and Miley Cyrus. == Procedure == Industrial piercings should always be done by a licensed professional with proper anatomical, procedural, and technical knowledge in a sterilized area. Industrial piercings require two piercings to be made with a piercing needle since the piercings must be precisely aligned to be properly connected with a single piece of jewelry like the barbell jewelry. Piercing guns should never be used for an industrial piercing because they are designed for lobe piercings, not cartilage ones. Additionally, piercing needles are designed for single-use, meaning they have less bacteria, thus decreasing risk for infection. The barbell jewelry worn with industrials are usually 14G, but may also be 16G. One of the piercings, the forward-helix piercing, is made closer to the head, while the second piercing, the outer-helix piercing, is made on the opposite side of the ear. While barbell jewelry is typically worn during the healing period to maintain piercing alignment, a pair of captive bead rings may be used as an alternative. Using captive bead rings may result in faster recovery times at the risk of the piercings becoming misaligned. == Aftercare == The recovery period for industrial piercings is anywhere between six months and a year. Fresh industrial piercings should only be touched when they are being cleaned. When getting a fresh industrial piercing, it is important to not remove the jewelry as this will give the piercings a chance to be exposed to bacteria and close (this includes replacing the jewelry before the piercings properly heal). The piercings should be cleaned regularly to avoid dirt from accumulating, which would increase risk for infection. There are multiple ways to care for industrial piercings, with two being the most common methods. Piercers will typically recommend a particular method to use. The first method is to use a pre-made saline solution at least twice a day. This method requires soaking a clean cloth with the solution and gently wiping each side of the barbell jewelry. Piercing professionals recommend against using cloths for this method as they may carry bacteria and get caught on the jewelry, thus irritating the piercing. It is important to clean the piercing sites on both sides of the ear repeatedly until the piercing holes are completely clean and crust free. The second most popular method for cleaning industrial piercings is quite similar to the saline solution method, but requires a DIY sea salt solution. This solution requires a mixture of sea salt and warm water. Professionals recommend mixing one ounce of sea salt into eight ounces of warm water until it completely dissolves. Once this mixture is ready, it must be applied to a clean cloth before gently wiping the piercing sites around the barbell jewelry. Other tips for industrial piercing aftercare include: \- Wear earphones instead of headphones to avoid applying unnecessary pressure on the piercings \- Avoid sleeping on the recently pierced ear as this will also apply unnecessary pressure. It is recommended to not get both ears pierced at the same time. ==References== Category:Ear piercing

John Gary Glover (born December 3, 1976) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He had a career major league ERA of 5.03 over eight seasons, including time spent with the Anaheim Angels, Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, Tampa Bay Devil Rays/Rays and Toronto Blue Jays, who selected Glover in the 15th round of the 1994 Major League Baseball draft. He also played for the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball and the Sydney Storm of the Australian Baseball League.Flintoff and Dunn Alamanac ==Career== ===Toronto Blue Jays=== The Blue Jays drafted Glover right out of high school in DeLand, Florida, selecting him the 15th round of the 1994 draft. Glover spent the next three seasons (–) playing for rookie-level minor affiliates; the Gulf Coast Blue Jays from 1994 to 1995 and the Medicine Hat Blue Jays in 1996. In those years Glover worked as a starter but had a spotty record. At Medicine Hat he posted a 3–12 record with a 7.75 ERA. Promoted the next year to the Single-A Hagerstown Suns Glover reduced his ERA to 3.73 but won only six games in twenty-eight starts. In Toronto promoted Glover to the High-A Dunedin Blue Jays where his record finally improved. In eighteen starts he was 7–6 with an ERA of 4.28. Toward the end of the 1998 season Toronto had promoted Glover to the Double-A Knoxville Smokies but he immediately struggled, losing five games without registering a single win and seeing his ERA skyrocket to 6.75. In however Glover pitched to an 8–2 record with Knoxville and made the Southern League All-Star team before being promoted mid-season to the Triple-A Syracuse SkyChiefs. At Syracuse Glover went 4–6 with a 5.19 ERA; he also developed a notable pitching rivalry against Ottawa Lynx pitcher Shayne Bennett, against whom he pitched three times (Glover won twice). Called up at the end of the season Glover made his major league debut with the Blue Jays on September 30, 1999, throwing one inning of no-hit shutout ball amid a 9–2 loss to the Cleveland Indians. Glover did not join the Blue Jays for the season, spending the year at Knoxville where he put together a strong winning streak but overall went 9–9 with a 5.02 ERA. On November 7, 2000 Toronto traded Glover to the Chicago White Sox for left-handed relief pitcher Scott Eyre. ===Chicago White Sox=== Over the 2000–2001 winter Glover played in the Venezuelan Winter League, where he and former SkyChiefs teammate John Bale were robbed by a man with a shotgun. Unfazed, Glover finished out the season in Venezuela, commenting that the experience made him realize that "this game is only going to be kind to you for so many years, so you've got to try to make the best of the game when you're in it." Glover opened the and got off to a strong start; retiring the first sixteen hitters he faced and picking up his first major league victory on April 11 in relief of Jim Parque against Cleveland. After a rocky May Chicago demoted Glover to the Triple-A Charlotte Knights, but he returned to the team in mid-June after posting a 1.88 ERA in six starts. On July 27 Glover made his first career major league start in place of the just-traded James Baldwin; like his debut and first win, it came against the Cleveland Indians. Glover allowed two hits in 3 innings but did not figure in the decision. Glover finished out the year at Chicago with a 5–5 record and a 4.93 ERA in 46 appearances, including 11 starts. Between the 2001 and seasons there was speculation that Glover would be part of the starting rotation, but Opening Day found him in the bullpen. Out of the bullpen he had an ERA of 1.15 by the third week of June, but his ERA as a starter was well over 6. Glover eventually made 22 starts in 2002, but Chicago manager Jerry Manuel moved him back to the bullpen in mid-September and indicated that Glover would pitch in relief in as well. Glover accepted the decision but indicated a desire to return to the rotation. On the year Glover was 7–8 with a 5.20 ERA. Glover opened the 2003 season with the White Sox but was little used, making just 24 appearances by the end of the July. During one stretch Glover went 19 days between appearances. On July 30 the Sox traded Glover along with minor-leaguers Scott Dunn and Tim Bittner to the Anaheim Angels for veteran pitcher Scott Schoeneweis. ===Anaheim Angels=== Glover worked in relief for the Angels and made 18 appearances, going 1–0 with 5.00 ERA and nearly equaling his playing time with Chicago that year. At the end of the season the Angels sent him outright to the Salt Lake Stingers. In December Glover was granted his release and signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago Cubs. ===Around the minors=== At the start of the season Glover was a candidate to fill a spot in the bullpen left open by the injured Mike Remlinger but started the year with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs after a terrible spring training. Glover made 20 appearances for the Iowa team, all but one in relief, going 3–2 with a 7.93 ERA. Exercising an option in his contract Glover was released from the Cubs and signed with the Rochester Red Wings, the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. There he continued to struggle, with an ERA of 8.44, and was released in mid-July to make room for Matt Guerrier. As Glover tells it, he had more or less given up on the 2004 season. Returning to the Tampa area, he "figured the season was over...I planned to go down to Florida for a while and help out the hurricane relief effort there, then go to winter ball and try to figure some things out." Glover was mulling various Independent League teams when on July 25 the Milwaukee Brewers offered him a contract. ===Milwaukee Brewers=== Glover joined the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians and rediscovered his control, going 3–3 with a 3.98 ERA. At the end of the minor league season the Brewers recalled Glover to the major leagues, his first appearance there since the end of the 2003 season. Glover appeared in four games, starting three of them, and went 2–1 with a 3.50 ERA. After a strong spring training Glover began the season as Milwaukee's fifth starter. Glover went 3–3 in his first nine starts but lost his spot in the starting rotation at the end of May to Wes Obermueller. Brewers manager Ned Yost cited Obermueller's hot streak: "I'm going with what amounts to the hot hand even though Glover pitches great the last time...Gary's done everything we've asked of him but Obermueller is starting to come on." As in Chicago, Glover was disappointed. The move was not a success: Obermueller was rocked in two successive starts, while Glover was hit hard in relief and sent down to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds in early June to make room for backup catcher Julio Mosquera. At Nashville Glover went 6–4 with a 3.03 in 16 starts; the Brewers recalled him in September to place a struggling Obermueller. In his final start of the year Glover pitched seven shutout innings in a 2–0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, striking out a career-high ten. The victory left the Brewers 80–79; they finished the season 81–81, the first time since 1992 that the team had finished at or above .500. On November 30, the Brewers released Glover, who signed with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball. ===Yomiuri Giants=== Glover spent the entire season with the Giants, where he amassed a 5–7 record with a 4.97 ERA, primarily as a starter. Glover did not find the transition to Japanese baseball difficult and was full of praise for his new team: "I realize the Giants are a great organization, and I feel fortunate to be playing for Yomiuri." The Giants kept him on a seven-day rotation, and as a consequence of starting on Sundays acquired the nickname "Mr. Sunday." At the end of the season Glover returned to the United States and signed a minor league contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. ===Tampa Bay Devil Rays=== Glover signed with Tampa Bay for several reasons: he wanted to return to the United States, it was close to his off-season home of Lutz, Florida, and after a year in Japan he believed he was ready to break into the big leagues for good. Reflected Glover ruefully: "I've always been a fifth starter or the last bullpen guy, which always made it difficult for me." Glover made the team and worked out of the bullpen and by the middle of the season he had earned a reputation for reliability. In a notable appearance July 30 against the Boston Red Sox he recorded the final seven outs on fifty pitches to complete a 5–2 win. Glover finished the season 6–5 with a 4.89 ERA and two saves. Glover returned to the re-christened Tampa Bay Rays for but was bedeviled by tendinitis in his shoulder and an injury to his left calf. On July 29, the Rays designated Glover for assignment. Manager Joe Maddon expressed regret: "There's just no room in the inn right now...There's no real complicated explanation. I like him and he fits in well here." On August 2, the Rays released Glover. ===Detroit Tigers=== Glover signed with the Detroit Tigers who assigned him to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens on August 9, 2008. The Tigers called up Glover on August 17, 2008 to replace the injured Todd Jones; Glover had not allowed a run in three appearances with the Mud Hens. Glover made his debut for the Tigers on August 18, 2008 in relief of Kenny Rogers against the Texas Rangers; he pitched a 1-2-3 inning and struck out a batter. Glover became a free agent on October 30, 2008 after electing free agency. In 18 appearances, he went 1–1 with a 4.43 ERA. ===Washington Nationals=== In January , Glover signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals. He attended the Nationals 2009 spring training camp but was sent back to the minors on March 31, 2009. Glover joined the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs which marked a sort of homecoming: nine years previous, he had pitched for the Chiefs, then the SkyChiefs and an affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.Nationals Release Pena Yahoo! Sports, March 31, 2009 He was released on May 9, 2009, to make room for Mike MacDougal. ===Florida Marlins=== On May 26, 2009, Glover signed a minor league contract with the Florida Marlins. ===SK Wyverns=== On June 21, 2009, Glover signed with SK Wyverns in South Korea, with whom he won the 2010 Korean Series on October 19, 2010. Glover started for the Wyverns in the deciding Game 4, in which the Wyverns defeated the Samsung Lions 4–2. ===Miami Marlins=== Glover signed a minor league contract with the Miami Marlins on January 22, 2012. He also received an invitation to spring training. ==Personal life== Glover currently resides in Lutz, Florida with his wife, son and daughter. ==References== ==External links== , or Retrosheet, or Baseball Reference (Minor, Japanese and Korean Leagues), or Pelota Binaria (Venezuelan Winter League) Category:1976 births Category:Living people Category:American expatriate baseball players in Canada Category:American expatriate baseball players in Japan Category:American expatriate baseball players in South Korea Category:Anaheim Angels players Category:Baseball players from Cleveland Category:Cardenales de Lara players Category:American expatriate baseball players in Venezuela Category:Charlotte Knights players Category:Chicago White Sox players Category:Detroit Tigers players Category:Dunedin Blue Jays players Category:Gulf Coast Blue Jays players Category:Hagerstown Suns players Category:Indianapolis Indians players Category:Iowa Cubs players Category:KBO League pitchers Category:Knoxville Smokies players Category:Major League Baseball pitchers Category:Medicine Hat Blue Jays players Category:Milwaukee Brewers players Category:Nashville Sounds players Category:New Orleans Zephyrs players Category:Nippon Professional Baseball pitchers Category:People from DeLand, Florida Category:Baseball players from Volusia County, Florida Category:People from Lutz, Florida Category:Baseball players from Hillsborough County, Florida Category:Rochester Red Wings players Category:SSG Landers players Category:Syracuse Chiefs players Category:Syracuse SkyChiefs players Category:Tampa Bay Devil Rays players Category:Tampa Bay Rays players Category:Toledo Mud Hens players Category:Toronto Blue Jays players Category:Yomiuri Giants players Category:American expatriate baseball players in Australia
