title: Doublelift

text:
Yiliang "Peter" Peng (), better known as Doublelift, is an American content creator, streamer, and professional League of Legends player for 100 Thieves. He previously played for Counter Logic Gaming, Team Liquid and Team SoloMid. Peng is considered one of the most iconic League of Legends players of all time. He is known for being a fierce competitor and trash-talking his opponents. One of his most famous statements came in 2013 at the League of Legends All-Star tournament when he claimed that, "Everyone else is trash."

Career
Peng comes from California, and started playing console games before jumping to PC titles such as DotA, World of Warcraft, and Heroes of Newerth, eventually moving to League of Legends. In an interview with Machinima in 2013, Peng said his relationship with his parents was strained, because of his dream of being a professional esports player. "I would always struggle with my parents... we would just argue over everything, especially games. When I wanted to play they thought it was just a complete waste of time. It got worse and worse over the years." Peng first entered professional League of Legends when he gained the attention of George "HotshotGG" Georgallidis, founder of Counter Logic Gaming (CLG), who recruited him as a substitute Support player. Shortly after, Peng left CLG to become the starting Support for Epik Gamer. He later joined UnRestricted as the starting AD Carry, and the team was acquired by Team Curse later that year.

Peng's first major tournament was DreamHack Summer 2011, also known as the Riot Season 1 Championship. Hosted in Sweden, he needed his parents' permission to go, but at the time his beginning esports career was a secret to his parents. "They wouldn't let me go... They were like 'You're going to die if you go to Sweden for Dreamhack'. " He was ultimately allowed to go after Doublelift's older brother helped convince their parents.

Peng was timid and socially awkward around his teammates. "I was really awkward and really introverted at the time. I was just that typical Asian guy who does nothing but play games. When I finally met my team I was like 'hi' and that was like the only thing I said. I said nothing after that. I was just a presence with them but I didn't interact with them very much." In a Reddit AMA, Peng said he owed it to Epik Gamer for giving him the opportunity to begin his career. "Without Epik Gamer, I would have never made it into the pro scene most likely."

When Peng returned home, he said his parents were not proud of his accomplishment at Dreamhack. "They wanted me to go to college." Tensions grew between him and his parents over his choice of career, until in 2011 his parents told him to leave the house. He did, taking his prize money from Dreamhack and his computer. Peng wrote about the event on Reddit in a thread titled "Hi I'm Doublelift, formerly of team [Epik Gamer], and today I became homeless." With no college degree or family to return to, he decided to go all-in on his professional gaming career. Peng began earning money for writing educational League of Legends content for Team Curse. "I pretty much made half the guides for that site... I was just super happy and I could finally pay rent that month."

2012
CLG prime would attend the 2012 MLG Fall Championship in Dallas on November 2 through 4th. In the first round they faced the Korean powerhouse NaJin Sword, where they were routed in two lopsided matches. Falling to the losers bracket, CLG Prime would sweep Curse Gaming in round one, and then pick up a close 2–1 series against another NA team Dignitas. They faced their sister team CLG EU in Round 3 and lost 2–1 and were eliminated from the tournament. CLG Prime finished in 4th with $2,500 in winnings.

2013
On February 27, 2013, CLG participated in the Riot Season 3 North American League Championship Series Spring Split.

2014
In 2014, Peng and CLG finished third and fifth, respectively in the spring and summer playoffs, and did not qualify for international events.

2015
CLG and Peng were fined on January 6, 2015, after being found guilty of poaching ZionSpartan. CLG was fined $2,000 while Peng was fined $2,500. Furthermore, CLG was restricted from fielding ZionSpartan as a player or coach for the first week of the 2015 LCS Spring Split.

For the first eight weeks of the spring split, CLG was never lower in the standings than tied for second place. In the end, they lost a second-place tiebreaker to Cloud9 and so ended up in third place in the regular season. Ultimately, CLG lost to Team Liquid in the quarterfinals and ended the split tied for fifth place with Gravity Gaming.

Peng was benched during the Summer LCS due to an injury incurred from playing basketball.

In August Peng helped CLG win their first-ever LCS Split playoff title. The victory also qualified them for the 2015 League of Legends World Championship. At Worlds CLG failed to make the bracket and finished 12/13th. On October 31, CLG informed Peng that they were not going to re-sign him.

2016
After CLG released a statement, Team SoloMid announced that Peng would be joining, replacing long tenured AD Carry WildTurtle. On his new team, Peng reached the finals of the spring split, and faced off against his old team, Counter Logic Gaming. TSM fell 3–2 to CLG, and took a second place finish, missing out on the Mid-Season Invitational. In summer, Team SoloMid added a new support to pair with Peng in the botlane, picking up Vincent "Biofrost" Wang. The team saw significant improvement in the summer split, improving their previous 9–9 record to a 17–1 standing at the end of the regular season, and earned a bye into playoffs. Peng also earned First Team All–Pro honors for his performance. Peng once again made it to the finals, and this time won, defeating Cloud9 3–1, to give Peng his second title.

2017
Before the start of the 2017 season, Team SoloMid announced that Peng would be taking a hiatus from professional League of Legends during the spring split, saying "it's time for a small break." While he would remain contracted to the team, he would be streaming full-time until his return to professional play in the summer when, according to Team SoloMid owner Andy Dinh, he would have to compete with his replacement to return to the starting roster. In the past, Peng has spoken out about the never-ending competitive schedule for professional League of Legends. After representing North America in the All-Star 2013 in Shanghai, Peng said in a Reddit AMA "I'm just tired of playing all day every day, and I want a goddamn break but it's not possible to get one." In a Reddit AMA in 2014, Peng said "Most people who look at pros think that we live the dream life when in reality you either practice 16 hours a day or lose and end up frustrated. Sometimes you practice 16 hours a day and still end up losing." One month later, Team SoloMid announced that WildTurtle would be Peng's replacement for the 2017 spring split. In an interview, teammate Bjergsen agreed with Dinh's initial announcement that Peng would need to compete with his replacement, saying "I want WildTurtle to succeed and I wasn't just sitting around waiting for Peter because I wanted someone who was committed, and like I said I was disappointed and I felt he wasn't very committed. I didn't feel like he should just have the luxury of going out and making a lot of money [streaming] and returning to the team... No matter how good of a friend they are to me, if someone decides he's just going to take six months off and he thinks he's can just reenter the team, that's just not okay with me because I think everyone has to earn their spot."

More than halfway through the spring season and threatened by relegation, Team Liquid announced that Peng would temporarily be joining the team and would be released back to Team SoloMid at the end of the spring split, sparking controversy due to concerns of a conflict of interest when Peng inevitably competed against Team SoloMid while signed to Team Liquid. Team Liquid owner Steve Arhancet responded that Riot Games approved the trade after the team demonstrated that no other player in that role would be suitable for the team.

2018
Before the start of the 2018 NA LCS season, Team SoloMid announced they would be parting ways with Peng, citing a desire for a stronger shot-caller in the bottom lane. On the same day, Team Liquid announced Peng would be returning along with his ex-Counter Logic Gaming teammates Xmithie and Pobelter. The team finished 4th place in the Spring Split regular season, securing a spot in the playoffs with a 12–8 record behind his former team TSM. Team Liquid defeated Cloud9 3–0 in the quarterfinals and Echo Fox 3–1 in the semifinals to make it to the Team Liquid's first ever final.

A week before the final, Peng learned that his mother Wei Ping Shen was killed and his father Guojon Peng seriously injured after his older brother Yihong Peng allegedly stabbed them in their family home in San Juan Capistrano California. Peng posted on Twitlonger "I'm still processing this news and joining up with my dad and little brother to make sure they're ok and the proper arrangements are being made. I'll likely be quiet on social media while I work through this. I hope you all understand and support me as you always have in the past." In an interview with Machinima in 2013, Peng had said his older brother was the biggest influence on his life and career, and that he had regrets over his falling out with his parents and wished to make amends in the future, but with his busy career "right now I can't do that, I'm too busy." Despite the pressure faced during this event, Steve Arhancet, owner and co-CEO of Team Liquid, announced that Doublelift would not be taking time off and was determined to play in the final as planned. In the final, Team Liquid convincingly defeated 100 Thieves 3–0 and won its first league championship.

In the summer split of 2018, Doublelift and Team Liquid picked up where they left off in spring. A tightly contested regular season saw Team Liquid come out with the number one seed by only a single game over Cloud9, qualifying them for a bye in the first round and a guaranteed spot in the semi-finals. Matched up against 100 Thieves, Doublelift and Team liquid cruised to a 3–1 series victory to move on to a spot in the finals against Cloud9. On the eve of the NA LCS finals, Doublelift was awarded a long-awaited NA LCS MVP for the summer split. This was his first MVP award. Team Liquid easily defeated Cloud9 3–0 in the finals to capture back to back North American LCS titles and looked towards a strong showing at Worlds 2018. However, they were eliminated in the group stage by KT Rolster and Edward Gaming.

2019
After their group stage exit at Worlds 2018, Team Liquid announced the signings of Jensen and former world champion CoreJJ to the mid lane and support positions respectively. With their newly revamped roster, Team Liquid finished 14–4 on the 2019 Spring Split advancing to the Spring finals to face Doublelift's former team TSM. Team Liquid dropped the first two games of the series, but won the final three games to reverse sweep TSM in the best of 5 series, thus earning Doublelift his 6th championship and 3rd straight title.

Despite coming off of a strong performance in the Spring playoffs, Team Liquid struggled initially in the group stage of MSI 2019, but with a strong finish to the group stage they secured the final spot in the knock–out stage. In the semifinals, the 4th seeded Team Liquid upset the defending world champions, Invictus Gaming, 3–1, and advanced to the finals, where they faced G2 Esports, and were ultimately defeated in a 3–0 sweep.

After MSI, Liquid started out the 2019 LCS Summer Split 2–2, tying them for 4th place. However, by the end of the split, they had once again accrued a 14–4 record, finishing first. In the summer playoffs, Team Liquid beat Clutch Gaming 3–2, and secured a spot at the 2019 League of Legends World Championship. They advanced to the summer finals where they met the second seeded Cloud9. TL won the first game of the series, then dropped games 2 and 3, before winning the final two games to secure their 4th straight LCS trophy. This was Doublelift his 7th championship overall, and passing Xmithie to become the player with the most Championship titles in LCS history. At Worlds, Team Liquid were drawn into Group D, alongside DAMWON Gaming, Invictus Gaming, and ahq e-Sports Club. They went 3–3, placing third in their group, and were eliminated from the tournament.

2020
With their premature exit from Worlds, Team Liquid parted ways with their jungler, Xmithie, and signed former Fnatic Jungler, Broxah. Prior to the start of the spring 2020 split, Broxah had visa issues preventing him from joining them for the start of the spring season, and Team Liquid performed very poorly. Midway through the split, Doublelift was benched in favor of Team Liquid Academy ADC Tactical. According to Doublelift, this decision stemmed from his apparent lack of motivation to begin the 2020 spring split. Doublelift publicly apologized to his teammates for his attitude, and promised to work harder to return to the LCS stage. Doublelift returned to the starting lineup the following week, but ultimately Liquid finished the split in 9th place and did not make 2020 Spring Playoffs. Doublelift and Team Liquid's failure to qualify for playoffs marked the first time in LCS history that the reigning champion not qualify for the following split's playoffs.

With a disappointing finish to Spring 2020, Team Liquid traded Doublelift to Team SoloMid for the 2020 Summer Split.

With his new team, Peng and TSM had a shaky start to the first half of the split, with a record of 6–3. Although they were third in LCS, critics deemed their wins unconvincing and some considered their record as not properly reflective of their actual skill level. In the middle of the split, Biofrost was replaced by TSM Academy support Treatz, with the team citing better communication and playmaking as the deciding factors.  TSM finished the regular split in 4th place with a 12–6 record and qualified for playoffs. In playoffs, TSM faced the fifth-seeded Golden Guardians in the upper bracket of the double-elimination tournament. Although it was projected to be a close series, Golden Guardians unexpectedly swept TSM 3–0 with the TSM bot lane being perceived as the weak link in the loss. After the first-round defeat, the team subbed Biofrost back in place of Treatz. The move was in part cited to the existing synergy between Doublelift and Biofrost, especially for laning phase. TSM would drop to the bottom half of the elimination bracket to face the 8th seed, Team Dignitas. TSM swept Dignitas in a convincing fashion, as expected. With the Golden Guardians' loss to Team Liquid, TSM had to face them once again in the 2nd round of the lower bracket. Golden Guardians took the first two games of the series, but behind outstanding performances from Bjergsen, Spica, and Brokenblade, TSM managed to come back and reverse sweep the series. In the next round, TSM faced Cloud9 in order to determine the final seed for the 2020 World Championships. TSM won the series against Cloud9 3–1 and qualified for Worlds. With Team Liquid losing to FlyQuest in the upper bracket, Doublelift faced his old team in order to move on to the summer split finals. TSM defeated Team Liquid 3–2 after a grueling five-game series. Critics cited improved play by Doublelift as one of the main reasons behind the win. TSM faced FlyQuest in the finals, with TSM once again winning 3–2 after a tough five-game series. This win marked Doublelift's 8th NA LCS title.

Successfully completing their miraculous lower bracket run, Doublelift and TSM headed to Shanghai for the 2020 World Championships as the NA 1st seed. During the tournament, TSM was placed into Group C along with the LCK 3rd seed Gen.G, the LEC 2nd seed FNC, and the LPL 4th seed LGD. Doublelift was once again unable to advance past the group stage, after TSM went 0–6 in the group stage.

In November 2020, Doublelift announced on his Twitter account that he was retiring from professional League of Legends, thus concluding a storied career which spanned nearly a decade.

2021
On March 11, 2021, TSM announced on their Twitter that Peng was returning to the organization as a full-time content creator and streamer. Several months after his retirement, Peng revealed a significant reason he walked away from the pro scene was due to discontent with Team SoloMid, even going so far as to say "I fucking hate TSM" as well as accusing the owner, Reginald, of abuse, and left the organization entirely in November.

2022
In December 2022, Doublelift announced his return to professional play, signing a contract with 100 Thieves for the 2023 season.

Personal life
Peng was born on July 19, 1993, and grew up in Mission Viejo, California. He has a younger and an older brother. In April 2018, his older brother killed their mother and injured their father after an altercation outside of their family's home.

Peng is close friends with esports journalist Travis Gafford. In an interview with Team Dignitas, Gafford said they first met when Peng posted on Reddit that he was homeless and Gafford offered for him to live on his couch until he had money to pay rent. Peng said "Travis really helped me grow up as a person because when I'm playing games and focusing on my job you don't have basic social skills or an understanding of the world. When I go outside I'm like 'how much money am I supposed to spend on food? How do I do my taxes? How do I get a bank account?' I didn't have a credit card, all I had was my wallet with cash and a PayPal account. He helped me set up a bank account, he helped me set up my life."

title: Somewhere in My Car

text:
"Somewhere in My Car" is a song co-written and recorded by New Zealand-born Australian country music singer Keith Urban. It was released in June 2014 as the fourth international single and fifth overall from his 2013 album Fuse. In December 2014, it became Urban's sixteenth number one single on the Country Airplay chart. Urban wrote this song with J. T. Harding.

Content
"Somewhere in My Car" is an uptempo, guitar-driven breakup song about a male recalling a failed relationship and wishing that he and his lover were "somewhere in [his] car". The song is set in the key of B major with a main chord pattern of E5–B5–E/G-Gm–Fsus-F, and Urban's vocals range from F to G.

Critical reception
Country music blog Taste of Country described the song favorably, saying that "One can’t ignore his guitar solo. It screams ’80s rock, while the rest of the song is distinctively modern. The new 'modern' comes with a strong ’80s influence, however, and 'Somewhere in My Car' rides blissfully along in that niche." Giving it an "A", Bob Paxman of Country Weekly wrote that "Keith [Urban] goes on to deliver the goods in a song that deftly mashes lyrical content with instrumentation to create the overall mood." He also praised the use of a wah-wah pedal on the solo, as well as Urban's singing voice.

Chart performance
"Somewhere in My Car" debuted on US Billboards Country Digital Songs chart at number 42 when the album Fuse was released in September 2013. After it was chosen as a single in June 2014, the song entered the US Country Airplay chart at number 59 the same week, and appeared on the Hot Country Songs chart a month later. As the song gained airplay, the song debuted at number 91 the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on the week of September 13, 2014. It reached its peak at number one on the Country Airplay chart and number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of December 6, 2014. As of February 2015, the song has sold 450,000 copies in the US. On August 16, 2019, the single was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and streaming data of over a million units in the United States.

The song debuted at number 32 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart when the album Fuse was released in September 2013. It reached number four on the Canada Country chart in November 2014.

Music video
The music video was directed by John Urbano and premiered in September 2014.

title: Georgia–Vanderbilt football rivalry

text:
The Georgia–Vanderbilt football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Georgia Bulldogs and Vanderbilt Commodores. Both universities are founding members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and currently members of the SEC's Eastern Division with a total of 83 meetings. This rivalry is both Georgia and Vanderbilt's fourth longest football rivalry. Georgia leads the series 61–20–2.

History
When the rivalry first started, Georgia only won two games by less than four points until the 12th match-up between the two teams. Georgia and Vanderbilt have played annually since 1968.

Both Georgia and Vanderbilt have shut out the other nine times. Georgia has won 19 of the last 22 games with the three losses in 2006, 2013, and 2016 by four points or less.

Notable games

1895: Vandy wins on a fumble
Georgia's Pomeroy fumbled and Vanderbilt's Elliott recovered the fumble and scored a touchdown. Georgia protested that Pomeroy was down, and coach Pop Warner  took his team from the field in protest.

1898: Georgia's first win

Prior to the game, the bets were 2 to 1 that Georgia would not score. In front of 2,000 fans at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, the Bulldogs beat the Commodores for the first ever time, 4 to 0. The score came on a run by Georgia back F. K. McCutcheon. At one point Vanderbilt disputed a John Edgerton fumble, and threatened to leave the field until Georgia's captain Walden said he would withdraw his men from the game if the decision were reversed. Georgia quarterback Kid Huff saved a touchdown when he tackled and forced a fumble from the big Wallace Crutchfield of Vanderbilt. The punting of Georgia fullback A. Clarence Jones featured throughout.

1921: Onside Kick from Scrimmage ties SIAA Championship
The Georgia Bulldogs won the SIAA championship in the prior year of 1920. The toughest Southern opponent left for either school, both with undefeated conference records, the Georgia-Vanderbilt game would decide the SIAA title. Georgia was the favorite to win this first meeting of the two schools since 1912, in part because the Bulldogs may have outplayed Harvard and defeated Auburn earlier in 1921. Georgia had the greatest line in the South, featuring four All-Southern linemen by the names of Puss Whelchel, Bum Day, Owen Reynolds, and Artie Pew. Not one team all year scored on Georgia through its line. Vanderbilt at this point was 6-1 against Georgia all time, the score all time was 184 to 4 in the Commodores' favor.

The first score came after a punt from the Commodores was returned by Georgia some 15 yards to around Vanderbilt's 30-yard line. The Bulldogs would complete an 18-yard pass from Hartley to halfback Jim Tom Reynolds, to Vanderbilt's 12-yard line.  Three punches at the line were stopped for short gains.  Hartley gained five yards and Vanderbilt was penalized for offsides.  Three line bucks netted three yards. Jim Reynolds, gaining a yard or so, went over for the touchdown with a counter on the following series. It was such a close call that it brought forth considerable argument.  Pew kicked goal.  The half ended with Georgia gaining 113 yards on offense to Vanderbilt's 9.

Soon after the start of the fourth quarter, Jess Neely intercepted a pass, weaving for a return of 25 yards to Georgia's 40-yard line before being brought down by Jim Reynolds. Two long pass attempts failed, and Thomas Ryan lined up to punt.  Rupert Smith snuck in behind Ryan, and rushed to recover the 25-yard onside kick, jumping up to get the ball off the bounce among a hoard of Bulldogs, after they had let it bounce, including the outstretched arms of the Bulldogs' Hartley, and raced for a 15-yard touchdown.  Rupert added his own extra point and the game ended as a tie, 7-7.  Georgia would go on to beat both Alabama and Clemson handily in the following weeks, while the next week Vanderbilt handled Sewanee in the mud, giving both Vanderbilt and Georgia an equal right to the claim of a 1921 SIAA title. A freshman Lynn Bomar's play at the linebacker position was especially noted, "Georgia would have trampled Vanderbilt to atoms but for Lynn Bomar," observed Nashville Tennessean sportswriter Blinkey Horn. It was said he stopped five Georgia touchdowns that day.  One source credits this as the first successful onside kick in the history of football.

1923: "Dixie's top team" licked by Commodores
On November 17, the Vanderbilt Commodores beat the Georgia Bulldogs at Dudley Field by a lopsided score of 35 to 7.  Fred Russell would say this was when "the Gold and Black hit the season's peak." Morgan Blake, sportswriter in the Atlanta Journal, wrote "No southern team has given the Georgia Bulldogs such a licking in a decade." Georgia was labeled "Dixie's top team;" its only loss coming against traditional powerhouse Yale.  Georgia's defense had previously shut out all its Southern Conference opponents, with no southern team crossing the Bulldogs' 20 or 25 yard line.  Vanderbilt halfback Gil Reese would star in this game, including two punt returns for touchdowns and two more touchdowns on the ground. Reese ran for over 200 yards for the second week in a row, with 232 yards on his five largest plays and over 300 total yards. Former Vanderbilt coach Wallace Wade, who was at the game scouting Georgia, said the Commodores that day were "the smartest I ever saw."

1924: Lynn Bomar injured

1924 brought the first victory for Georgia over Vanderbilt in twenty-seven "long years," having failed to win the last seven matches. The Commodores did well in the first quarter, but never threatened again after that. Georgia had 12 first downs to Vandy's 7, and the Bulldogs gained 284 yards to the Commodores' 128. The furthest the Commodores penetrated was to Georgia's 31-yard line. Thrice the Bulldogs got to within Vanderbilt's 10-yard line, but all three times the Vanderbilt defense stiffened and prevented a score. Bulldog quarterback "Scrappy" Moore made the 32-yard drop-kick which broke the scoreless tie in the fourth quarter. It was the last field goal kicked by a Bulldog until seventeen years later when Frank Sinkwich did so against Florida with a broken jaw in 1941.

1923 consensus All-American Lynn Bomar suffered an injury this day which would tragically end his career with Vanderbilt football. A kick to the chin from a cleat gave him a severe brain hemorrhage, leaving him with half of his body paralyzed for two days. It was figured he would never play football again. "Not a player on the team could talk of Bomar's injury without tears coming to his eyes." The next year, he would defy the odds and play professional football in the inaugural season for the New York Giants, leaving after 1926 from a different injury.

title: The Right of the People

text:
The Right of the People is a 1986 made-for-TV crime drama movie starring Michael Ontkean, Billy Dee Williams, Jane Kaczmarek, Jamie Smith Jackson and Lisa Jakub, with special guest John Randolph. It debuted on ABC on January 13, 1986. The movie, originally intended as a feature film, was written and directed by Jeffrey Bloom. He wrote the script in outrage over the mass murder during the robbery of a Los Angeles Bob's Big Boy restaurant in 1980. At the network's request, Bloom revised his original script to increase anti-gun viewpoints in the story.

Plot
Christopher Wells is a District Attorney, in fictional St. Lawrence, Kansas. One evening, his wife, Angela, and daughter Katie, are among several people shot to death in a robbery by two ex-cons. Wells, previously opposed to handguns, then pushes for mass arming of his town's citizens for self defense, while his best friend, police officer Mike Trainor, and Angela's friend Alicia remain opposed. Nonetheless, Wells' proposal passes and the movie explores Bloom's visions of an armed public.

title: New Market Historic District (New Market, Alabama)

text:
The New Market Historic District is a historic district in New Market, Alabama.  The town was founded in the 1820s as a trade center along the road between Huntsville and Winchester, Tennessee.  The town incorporated in 1837, and had grown to around 500 residents by the 1850s.  Although much of the town was destroyed in the Civil War, some antebellum structures survive, including Classical Revival houses built in 1854 and 1860, and the Whitman-Cobb House built circa 1861.

After the war, the town rebuilt, and a dam was constructed across Mountain Fork Creek to power various mills; it was rebuilt in 1913.  The New Market Presbyterian Church built their first building in 1852, which was destroyed in the war.  Its second building, constructed in 1884, was destroyed in a tornado in 1885; the current Gothic Revival building was completed in 1888.  An Akron Plan New Market United Methodist Church was built in 1923.  Many commercial buildings that were constructed in the early 1900s were destroyed in a fire in 1925.  Many were rebuilt, including the Classical Revival bank.

The district was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1991 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

title: Leave the Night On

text:
"Leave the Night On" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Sam Hunt. It was released to country radio, by MCA Nashville on June 16, 2014 as the lead single from his debut studio album Montevallo (2014). The song was written by Hunt, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.

Critical reception
Matt Bjorke of Roughstock reviewed the single favorably, saying that "There will be some who see 'Leave The Night On' as nothing but another 'Bro' song but to me, it feels much different. Yes, it's about hanging out and having a good time with a girl you like under the moonlight, but it uses that theme as a vehicle to deliver a seriously strong debut single". Taste of Country also reviewed the song favorably, with their review saying that "Lyrically 'Leave the Night On' is thematically similar to some of the most popular country songs but that doesn't mean Hunt has stopped pushing the boundaries of traditional country music just yet. Perhaps the most unique aspect of Hunt's talent, what distinguishes him from other new artists, is his polished, hip-hop inspired cadence." Giving it a "B", Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe said that "I feel like I've heard this song so many times before that the artist has to work extra hard just to even keep my attention. Sam Hunt works pretty hard to do that. Not as a vocalist, mind you. But as a songwriter, which is what's put him on the map in the first place."

Commercial performance
"Leave the Night On" debuted upon its release at number 26 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, selling 22,000 copies. The song quickly climbed up the Country Airplay chart, and entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 98 on its second week of release. The song peaked at number 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number one on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, for the week of November 15, 2014 after Hunt's debut studio album Montevallo was released. The album also debuted at number one on the Top Country Albums chart and number three on the US Billboard 200, making Hunt only the second solo male country artist in the Nielsen SoundScan-era to simultaneously lead the Top Country Albums and Hot Country Songs charts with a rookie release, more than 22 years after Billy Ray Cyrus achieved the same feat with his debut single "Achy Breaky Heart" and his debut studio album Some Gave All. The song was certified Platinum by the RIAA on October 28, 2014, and reached its millionth sales mark in the US in February 2015.

Music video
The music video was directed by Brad Belanger and premiered in July 2014.

title: R-Line (RIPTA)

text:
The R-Line is a Rapid Bus  service in Rhode Island, United States, running from Pawtucket to Cranston via downtown Providence. This route was a combination of the old routes 11 and 99. Operated by the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA), it is the agency's first rapid bus route, and the second such system to open in New England (after the MBTA Silver Line). After several years of planning and construction, R-Line service began on June 21, 2014.

Operations

The R-Line is branded as "Rapid Bus" rather than true bus rapid transit because it operates in mixed traffic rather than on fully dedicated lanes. However, the service incorporates other BRT elements including high-frequency limited-stop service, transit signal priority, queue jumps, and upgraded bus shelters, as well as branding separate from RIPTA's local bus system. The service combines the former 11 and 99 local bus routes, which were the two busiest in Rhode Island. It was conceived as an inexpensive way to improve service on the two busy routes.

The R-Line runs on 10-minute headways during the day, 20 minutes at night, and 15–20 minutes on weekends. Service runs from 5:00 am to 1:00 am on weekdays and Saturdays, and 6:30 am to midnight on Sundays. The line has 56 stops, largely placed in pairs on opposite sides of the street (except for the terminal loops). 25 have "wayfinding tokens" with systems for future audio announcements, while the remainder have enhanced bus stop signs.

Under a program titled The Artists Of The R-Line, local artists were selected to design wall panels and seating at 17 of the line's bus stops.

History
RIPTA was created by the state in 1964 to take over the bus routes of the United Transit Company, the descendant of the former Rhode Island Company streetcar system. The agency inherited a system of Providence-based local routes with rapidly falling ridership; over the next half-century RIPTA expanded service to cover more of the state. However, many of the local routes suffered from slow speeds and routes that followed former streetcar services rather than newer development.

In 2013, RIPTA released plans for major service changes, including the removal of some bus stops and a focusing of resources on higher-demand routes, designed to modernize their system under a constant budget. The report proposed rapid bus service on a combination of the 11 and 99 routes, as well as a long-planned extension of other services to South Attleboro station.

Transit signal priority construction began in February 2013 and was largely complete by the end of the year, with minor adjustments lasting until April 2014. Passenger amenities including shelters were installed in May and June 2014.

Service on the 11 and 99 continued normally during construction. R-Line service began on June 21, 2014, along with implementation of much of the 2013 plan. A new route, 98 Pawtucket Ave, began operations the same day to maintain service on Pawtucket Avenue southwest of downtown Pawtucket, which the 99 had traveled on but the R-Line does not. The 98 was later merged with the 71 Broad Street route to form the 71 Broad Street / Pawtucket Avenue route.

Future expansion
RIPTA plans to convert other high-ridership local routes into rapid bus routes; the 20, 27, and 56 routes will be given priority for conversion.

title: Ruth Frith

text:
Ruth Pauline Frith  (born Ruth Pursehouse, 23 August 1909 – 28 February 2014) was an Australian centenarian masters athlete. She was the oldest active athlete.  She is the current holder of the masters world record in numerous events including the W85 Triple Jump, W100 Shot Put, Discus, Hammer Throw, Weight Throw and Javelin Throw and was the oldest competitor to complete a Throws Pentathlon and thus holds the record in that event.  In younger age divisions, she held many more records that have been surpassed.

Her famous quote for longevity:

She was the mother of Australian Olympic jumper and pentathlete Helen Frith, who under her married name of Searle is also a multiple masters world record holder.

Early life

Ruth Pursehouse was born in Goulburn, New South Wales. She attended Goulburn High School, a NSW selective school, and was originally planning on becoming a solicitor. She won the state title in the 100 yard dash at the Sydney Cricket Ground and played field hockey as a girl. It was on a hockey trip to Dubbo that she met her future husband Ray Frith.  They were married in 1933.  She became active in sports administration as a young girl.

Sports athlete
An accomplished musician with the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, she served as the student representative to the Sports Union for Athletics.  After playing with the Gouldburn Hockey Club, she served on the team committee.  Her husband's work as a civil engineer took them to Darwin where she was Secretary of the Darwin Golf Club.  After 5 years in Lithgow, where Ray surveyed the athletics fields for Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst and Lithgow the couple lived in Sydney, where they were the power couple of athletics officiating.  She was a leader with the Women's Amateur Athletics Association of NSW serving as Country Secretary, Records Officer, State Executive, and Secretary of the Northern Suburbs Women's club and Mid-west club.  She also coached long jumping, in which her daughter excelled.  She took up being an active athlete in 1982 at the age of 73.

Recognition
Prior to her sporting career, she worked with the Northern Territory Indigenous Community in which she was given the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal in 1953. She was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in recognition of service to athletics in the 1994 Australia Day Honours, and in 2000 was a recipient of the Australian Sports Medal.

Later life
She moved to Queensland to be with her daughter.  Helen estimates she set as many as 25 world records in her career.  Ruth was featured in the ABC documentary about and entitled the 100+ Club.

She died in Algester in February 2014, aged 104.

title: Scott D. Anderson

text:
Major Scott Douglas Anderson (May 2, 1965 – March 23, 1999) was an American aviator, engineer, outdoor adventurer, and award-winning author. He flew F-16s and instructed pilots for the Air National Guard, and was a general aviation test pilot and flight operations officer. In 1998, he completed the flight-testing of the first certified whole-plane parachute recovery system, which is credited with saving over 200 lives as standard equipment on Duluth, Minnesota-based Cirrus Aircraft's line of single-engine light aircraft.

In 1999, Anderson died in a plane crash near the Duluth International Airport while conducting tests of the first production model Cirrus SR20. He was posthumously inducted into the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame in 2010 for his contributions to the development and advancement of aviation in the state. The Scott D. Anderson Leadership Foundation was created in his honor.

Early years and education
Scott Anderson was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He and his family moved to Duluth, Minnesota when he was six years old. He graduated from Duluth East High School as a star football player and went on to attend the University of Minnesota. As an undergraduate engineering student-intern and a member of Minnesota Power's Research and Development team, Anderson earned recognition as co-inventor on a U.S. patent. He continued his college career later at Stanford University, where he led an undergraduate team to build a two-person submarine. Anderson graduated from Stanford in 1987 with degrees in mechanical engineering and history.

Career
In 1987, the summer after graduating college, Anderson and his friend Steve Baker planned a marathon canoe trip from Duluth to York Factory on the Hudson Bay. After completing the 1,700-mile-long exploit, he wrote his first book, Distant Fires, published in 1990, an autobiographical adventure story based on their experiences during the journey. Distant Fires was widely received by the local community at the time of its release—the Duluth News Tribune describing it as a marvelous "voyage of discovery"—and went on to win Anderson the American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults Award in 1991.

Anderson was also a saxophonist, performing in Duluth jazz bands during the late 1980s and early 1990s. He then moved from the United States to Salzburg, Austria to play professional American football, before returning to become a pilot flying F-16s for the Air National Guard and flight instructing with Duluth's 179th Fighter Squadron. His second publication, and first novel, Unknown Rider (1995), was a fictional manifestation of his experience achieving the title "Fighter Pilot". He summed up his writing process saying, "When I was training to fly the F-16 at Kingsley Field in Oregon, each evening, after a day of flying fighters, I sat down and typed a little bit of this book… All I had to do was invent a few characters, put them in an airplane, and make them the heroes of the stories that filled the air."

Cirrus Aircraft

In early 1996, Anderson's career path led him to Cirrus Design (now called Cirrus Aircraft), a newly Duluth-landed general aviation startup founded by two brothers, Alan and Dale Klapmeier, hailing from a rural southern Wisconsin farm. He was named Director of Flight Operations along with Chief Test Pilot for the company, contributing his efforts to the early developmental stages of the Cirrus SR20 single-engine four-seat composite aircraft. In addition to all-composite construction, the SR20 introduced the light aircraft manufacturing industry to a number of innovative new designs, including a single power-lever that adjusts both throttle and propeller RPM, a side-yoke flight control system, a spin-resistant wing design, and a large LCD cockpit display for the avionics. In 1997, Anderson became the lead test pilot on a groundbreaking safety innovation by Ballistic Recovery Systems and Cirrus Aircraft. The feature was titled the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), and acted as a parachute recovery device installed on the SR20 that was designed to lower the entire aircraft safely to the ground after a loss of control or structural failure.

Anderson worked closest on the project with fellow Cirrus test pilot Gary Black, who also formerly flew jets for the military, as well as the company's Chief Engineer, Paul Johnston, who played a crucial role in the design process of the CAP system. Flight testing for CAPS began by the summer of 1998; the Cirrus team went out to the high desert of southern California where Anderson would conduct the first test. He deployed the parachute multiple times during dives and spins, to simulate recovery after a midair collision or after spatial disorientation, and from level flight to resemble engine failure. At this time Cirrus only had two SR20 prototypes, so in order to test the parachute repeatedly Anderson would restart the engine mid-air while descending under the parachute, cut the chute loose and land the plane normally for it to be tested again (ground-impact testing took place with a mockup that would be dropped at the calculated descent-velocity and measured based on sustained damage to the fuselage). Anderson successfully made all eight of the company's in-flight test deployments of CAPS. The SR20 became FAA approved and typed certified in October 1998, making Anderson the first pilot in history to successfully test a certified aircraft equipped with a ballistic parachute.

Death
The following year, on 23 March 1999, Anderson died while putting the first production SR20 through experimental test flights before it went on sale. The purpose of the flight was to perform routine torture-test maneuvers and assess changes to the aileron if there were any issues. The incident occurred after the plane's aileron had jammed. Anderson was about  from Duluth International Airport at the start of the flight when he radioed the control tower that he was returning due to a problem. At about  from the airport, he declared an emergency. Less than  out, Anderson crashed into a vacant exercise yard on the federal prison grounds located off the airport’s south side. He died later that day in the hospital at age 33. The plane Anderson was flying had not yet been equipped with the standard CAPS that would come on every aircraft. Due to Cirrus being in very early production phase, the company was 10 days away from receiving production model chute systems at the time of Anderson's death. Cirrus has never test-flown an aircraft without a parachute since.

Posthumous recognition

18-term Minnesota Congressman Jim Oberstar paid tribute to Anderson shortly after his death, calling him a "hero" and a "pioneer in general aviation". Oberstar went on saying, "Scott made a profound difference to the State of Minnesota and to the national aviation community". Cirrus Aircraft co-founder and former CEO Dale Klapmeier spoke at Anderson's induction into the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame on 24 April 2010, stating, "Scott was an exemplary pilot and person. During his tenure at Cirrus, he made considerable contributions to the company, the industry, and aviation safety that many people still benefit from today… To date, 17 CAPS deployments have saved 35 lives due to Scott's pioneering work."

Anderson has been referenced multiple times in national articles and columns such as The Atlantic and The New York Times Magazine by journalist, author and former speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter, James Fallows, who in a 2007 article called him a "Renaissance man" and "beloved, charismatic figure in Duluth". Anderson was also a supporting theme in Fallows' 2001 book, Free Flight: Inventing the Future of Travel.

Legacy
In the months following his death, Cirrus continued on to redesign the aileron in order to prevent the problem that killed Anderson, and sold their first SR20 in July 1999. The SR20's successor, the Cirrus SR22, became the world's best-selling general aviation airplane in 2003 and has held the title every year since, with a combined overall production of more than 6,000 examples from 1999–2015, something that hadn't been accomplished in the aviation industry for the last half-century. As of October 27, 2020, there have been 115 CAPS deployments saving 203 lives.

The Scott D. Anderson Leadership Foundation (SALF) was established in late 1999 and is a fund of the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation. It allows a group of high school students each year to receive scholarships dedicated to the delivery of high-quality, value-based leadership training.

Anderson is memorialized by the "ANDOE" waypoint for the outer marker on ILS runway 27 approaching Duluth International Airport.

Personal life
Anderson was a practicing Christian throughout the entirety of his life. On the SALF organization's website, it lists several of its "Guided Values and Principles", focusing mostly on promotion towards the common good, community, affirming the dignity of individuals, encouraging creativity, mentorship, pursuing goals, and strengthening one's character, stating:

He is survived today by his wife Laurie, their son Evan (born 1999), his siblings Catherine and Todd, and parents Paul and Carol. Scott's father Paul Anderson serves as the president of SALF.

The Anderson family resides in Duluth, Minnesota.

title: Cas and Jonesy

text:
Cas and Jonesy are an Australian duo known for being explorers, endurance athletes, motivational speakers, as well as a writer and documentary producer respectively. Their given names are James John Castrission (born 14 March 1982) and Justin Roderick Jones (born 20 June 1983).

In 2008 they kayaked 3318 km across the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand, becoming the first to do so.

On 26 January 2012, Castrission and Jones completed the first unsupported polar expedition from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without mechanical assistance. After 89 days they made it back to the coast, having skied 2275 km while towing sleds full of supplies. They arrived alongside Aleksander Gamme who had waited for them so they could all finish together.

Early life
Castrission was born in Sydney, the eldest of three children to parents John and Vivienne. Both sets of grandparents migrated to Australia from Greece after WWII. He was educated at Knox Grammar School and then attended The University of Sydney where he undertook a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance & Accounting). He is married to his wife Mia and has a son. They reside in Blackheath, Blue Mountains.

Jones was born 20 June 1983 the youngest of three children to parents Rod and Chintra Jones. He lived in Indonesia until he was 11, before attending boarding school at The Kings School Sydney.  He later moved to Knox Grammar School. Jones completed his tertiary education at The University of New South Wales where he studied a Bachelor of Science (Honors Physiology).   He currently resides in Tasmania with his wife Lauren and two daughters, Morgan and Dylan.

Castrission and Jones met when they were 15 and 16 respectively.  Castrission 's family was Jones's home family in Sydney, assigned to him while he attended boarding school. They became friends, sharing a common love of the outdoors. They participated in cadets together and upon leaving school, they began attempting a number of bushwalks and kayak expeditions together, while working separately in various roles. Castrission worked at Deloitte as an accountant, then management Consultant (2003–2007). Jones worked as a research assistance in a science laboratory (2004– 2007) and various pubs in Sydney.

In 2007, Castrission and Jones decided to work full-time on their plans to kayak across the Tasman Sea.  Since then, they have published books, filmed documentaries and given public speaking seminars based on their frequent expeditions.

Endurance events

Crossing the Ditch
As Cas & Jonesy they became the first people to cross the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand in a kayak. They set off from Forster, New South Wales on 13 November 2007 and arrived at Ngamotu Beach in New Plymouth, New Zealand on 13 January 2008, taking a total of 60 days, 20 hours and 50 minutes for crossing.

Cas and Jonesy travelled in a double kayak named Lot 41, custom designed by Rob Feloy. They transmitted podcasts and photographs during the trip.

Crossing the Ice
On 26 January 2012, Cas & Jonesy succeeded in skiing from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without assistance. It took 89 days and 2275 km of skiing, in what was the longest unsupported polar expedition of all time (the pair also finished along with Norwegian adventurer Aleksander Gamme, who had waited for them). Pulling everything they needed on a sled behind them and facing temperatures as low as – 40 C, they endured frostbite, crevasses, equipment failure and food deprivation.

The pair had almost no skiing experience before their expedition and spent months researching and consulting with experts from all over the world. They trained in the Arctic and in New Zealand, acclimatizing themselves to the extreme cold they would experience during the adventure. The Australian adventurers are the youngest team to ever reach the South Pole.

Okefenokee Swamp
In 2013, Cas and Jonesy completed the world's first on-foot segment crossing of the Okefenokee swamp, the largest blackwater swamp in North America. The pair were filming a pilot for National Geographic titled "Surviving Wild America", in which they retraced a 9-mile trail that had not been used in 40 years. They slept in hammocks above the swamp, travelled in blow up rafts and experienced numerous encounters with alligators, cotton mouth snakes and black bears

Bass Strait
The pair completed an unsupported Eastern route crossing in 9 days, travelling 340 km by kayak in 2006. The Bass Strait is the sea strait which separates Tasmania from the Australian mainland.

Murray River
Cas & Jonesy completed the world's first traverse of the Murray River, Australia's longest river, by kayak. They spent 49 days in 2001 and 2002 travelling a total of 2,560 km, raising $9,500 for the annual fundraiser Kayak for Kids.

Media

Published in January 2010, the book Crossing the Ditch tells the story of Cas and Jonesy's adventure across the Tasman, paddling more than 2000 km kayak from Australia to New Zealand.

Extreme South was written by Castrission following the couple's South Pole excursion and was published in July 2012.

In the documentary Crossing The Ditch (aka 62 Days at Sea), Jones uses footage recorded during Cas and Jonesy's crossing of the Tasman Sea to tell the story of their kayak journey from Australia to New Zealand.  The documentary features interviews from both adventurers.

In his second documentary, Crossing the Ice, Jones uses recorded footage and interviews to tell the story of the pair's journey over 1,140 km to the South Pole and back again, and the quest to become the first humans to achieve the feat unassisted.

Charities
Cas and Jonesy, under the Cultural Gifts Act, donated all the expedition equipment from their two major expeditions to museums in Sydney. In 2010, the Australian National Maritime Museum acquired and showcased equipment from their 'Crossing the Ditch' expedition, and as of 2018 it remains part of the collection.

The Powerhouse Museum accepted the equipment from their 'Crossing the Ice' expedition, and as of 2018 items are on display in the Expeditions section.

title: Stannosis

text:
Stannosis is an occupational, non-fibrotic pneumoconiosis caused by chronic exposure and inhalation of tin. Pneumoconiosis is essentially when inorganic dust is found on the lung tissue; in this case, caused by tin oxide minerals. Dust particles and fumes from tin industries, stannous oxide (SnO) and stannic oxide (SnO2), are specific to stannosis diagnoses. Hazardous occupations such as, tinning, tin-working, and smelting are where most cases of stannosis are documented. When melted tin ions are inhaled as a fume, the tin oxides deposit onto the lung nodules and immune response cells. If a worker is exposed to tin oxides over multiple events for an extended time, they are at risk of developing stannosis.

Toxicology and physiology

Workers with acute exposures, short duration with varying dose concentrations, to tin oxides develop a mild irritation on the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. When the inorganic metal materials are inhaled, the body activates the immune system and sends macrophages to the lungs. The macrophages try removing xenobiotic particles; however, stannous and stannic oxide interfere with the cells function. Tin deposition on lung nodules becomes apparent after X-ray imaging, although the stannosis does not appear to damage the lung tissues. Since the macrophages are laden with tin oxides but little to no fibrosis, stannosis is classified as a non-fibrotic pneumoniosis. Stannosis is an rare disease with only case-by-case appearances throughout history. Therefore, a diagnostic treatment plan has not yet been created by health officials.

Characteristics of Tin for industrial uses
Tin oxide metals are used for their variable valence state and positive charge deficit from their oxygen vacancy. When heated to temperatures above 2602 °C or 2875 K, tin oxides start to boil and produce fumes. For example, tin forms Sn2when heated in oxygenated environments; also called feebly acid. Tin oxide is known for being a good catalyst in solid photochemical reactions (photocatalysis) and electric production from light (photoelectrocatalysis). The energy produced form splitting water in photoelectrocatalysis is used for the creation of dehydrated dyes.

Tin is found in nature as an off-white or gray crystal mineral called cassiterite. The corrosion resistant metal is harvested primarily in Malaya, Bolivia, Indonesia, Zaire, thailand, and Nigeria. Traditionally, tin was used to create containers; however, since the increase use of plastics and aluminum its no longer common. There are two allotropic forms of tin, depending on the temperature. A variety of tin alloys morphologies exist including the following metals: soft solder, fusible, pewter, bronze, Babbit, White, and phosphor bronze metal. Tin oxide metals are corrosive resistant which is important in industrial uses.

Industrial applications of Tin oxides

Stannous oxide (SnO)
Stannous oxide (SnO) is used for manufacturing glass materials, like ceramics. The compound is insoluble in water and takes the form of a brow-black powder or blue-black crystalline solid. It is labeled as both an irritant and health hazard in the chemical safety sections of safety data sheets.

Stannic oxide ()

The primary uses for stannic oxide (SnO2) include polishing glass, marble, silver, and jewelry in addition to creating dyes for fabrics, paper, ceramic glazes, printing inks, coatings, and pigments in food polymers. Stannic oxide is also insoluble in water and dissociates in sulfuric acids and hydrochloric acid.

Case studies

De-tinning plant
In 1679, a 26 year old tin miner who worked in a smelter was found to have odd lung physiology after a radiography. He was asymptomatic despite having profuse small, metallic nodules in the lungs. At the same plant, a 55 year old man who loaded scrap tin into smelting furnaces for 15 years was assessed. His radiography confirmed that his cough and crackle was due to metallic bilateral nodules on the lungs, or stannosis. The second male's biopsy revealed macrophages overwhelmed with dust deposits that affected hist connective tissue in the lungs. The case study determined that two workers in a detinning mine, who handled molten tin, developed stannosis. According to the researchers of "Stannosis: A report of 2 cases", the two workers were subject to the dustiest job of packaging tin-oxide for transportation. Tin miners are typically researched when assessing for stannosis because their exposure to tin oxides is around 70-80% in comparison to other job tasks in a plant.

Tinning milk reservoir tanks
After 17 years of painting tin hot tin powder into the inside of tanks, a 74 year old male patient developed a dry cough and progressive dyspnea. Because engineering controls and respiratory personal protective equipment were not used, the worker suffered grave lung damage. In comparison to health, non-tinning workers, the patient had significantly higher bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BLAF) containing tin.

title: Rank–Raglan mythotype

text:
In narratology and comparative mythology, the Rank–Raglan mythotype (sometimes called the hero archetypes) is a set of narrative patterns proposed by psychoanalyst Otto Rank and later on amateur anthropologist Lord Raglan that lists different cross-cultural traits often found in the accounts of heroes, including mythical heroes.

Otto Rank developed his concept of the "Mythic Hero" in his 1909 text, The Myth of the Birth of the Hero that was based on Freudian ideas. It includes a set of 12 traits that are commonly found in hero myth narratives. Lord Raglan developed his concept of the "Mythic Hero" as an archetype, based on a ritualistic interpretation of myth, in his 1936 book, The Hero, A Study in Tradition, Myth and Drama. It is a set of 22 common traits that he said were shared by many heroes in various cultures, myths and religions throughout history and around the world. Raglan argued that the higher the score, the more likely the figure's biography is mythical. Raglan did not categorically deny the historicity of the Heroes he looked at, rather it was their common biographies he considered as nonhistorical.

The "Hero's Journey" (or monomyth) is a common story structure explored by anthropologists and mythologists. The concept of a standard narrative archetype of a monomythical "hero's quest" that was reputed to be pervasive across all cultures is controversial. The study of hero myths started in 1871 with anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor's observations of common patterns in plots of hero's journeys. Later on, others introduced various theories on hero myths such Otto Rank and his Freudian psychoanalytic approach to myth, Lord Raglan's unification of myth and rituals, and eventually hero myth pattern studies were popularized by Joseph Campbell, who was influenced by Carl Jung's view of myth, in his 1949 work The Hero with a Thousand Faces. It illustrates several uniting themes of hero stories that hold similar ideas of what a hero represents, despite vastly different cultures and beliefs. The monomyth or Hero's Journey consists of three separate stages including the Departure, Initiation, and Return. Within these stages there are several archetypes that the hero or heroine may follow including the call to adventure (which they may initially refuse), supernatural aid, proceeding down a road of trials, achieving a realization about themselves (or an apotheosis), and attaining the freedom to live through their quest or journey.

These theories have been criticized by scholars as being very flawed and loose to the point that historical persons such as Abraham Lincoln would fit the mythotypes. Furthermore, "one should make obvious that many fictional non-royal figures will score low on the scale, while historical rulers will start off with a number of points automatically" which would lead to false mythotyping of historical persons.

History

Otto Rank
Otto Rank, in 1909, developed a Hero pattern that was very much based on Oedipus' legend, followed Freudian psychoanalytic thought in that the pattern lingered on the Hero's relations with the parents and was limited to the first half of the life of the Hero:

Lord Raglan
Lord Raglan, in 1936, developed a 22-point myth-ritualist Hero archetype to account for common patterns across Indo-European cultures for Hero traditions, following myth-ritualists like James Frazer and S. H. Hooke:

When Raglan's 22 point outline is used, a Hero's tradition is considered more likely to be mythical the more of these traits they hold (a point is added per trait). Raglan himself scored the following Heroes: Oedipus (21 or 22 points), Theseus (20 points), Romulus (18 points), Heracles (17 points), Perseus (18 points), Jason (15 points), Bellerophon (16 points), Pelops (13 points), Dionysos (19 points), Apollo (11 points), Zeus (15 points), Joseph (12 points), Moses (20 points), Elijah (9 points), Watu Gunung (18 points), Nyikang (14 points), Sigurd (11 points), Llew Llawgyffes (17 points), King Arthur (19 points), Robin Hood (13 points), and Alexander the Great (7 points).

Folklorist Alan Dundes observed that Raglan never categorically denied the historical existence of any of the heroes, instead he was gauging the biographical pattern which he believed stemmed from ritual regicide. Raglan considered others like Jesus but avoided assessing him due to sensibilities. However, he did not deny his existence either.

Interpretation and criticism

Raglan and Rank

Folklorist Alan Dundes has noted that Raglan did not categorically deny the historicity of the Heroes he looked at, rather it was their common biographies he considered as potentially nonhistorical. Furthermore, Dundes noted that Raglan himself had admitted that his choice of 22 incidents, as opposed to any other number of incidents, was arbitrarily chosen. Though Lord Raglan took stories about heroes as literal and even equated heroes with gods, Otto Rank took stories as symbolic.

Folklorist Francis Utley applied Raglan's list on definite historical people such as Abraham Lincoln. He states that the criteria are so flexible and arbitrary that Lincoln fit all of Lord Raglan's 22 points and that using Raglan's ideas would lead one to conclude that Lincoln was a mythical figure. In their criticism of the hero pattern, other historical figures that have been argued to fit the hero pattern quite well were John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, Napoleon and William Wallace, which bring into question its usability on historical matters.

Classicist Thomas J. Sienkewicz did other rankings of numerous Heroes and among those that scored quite high were actual historical persons like Tsar Nicholas II (14), Mithridates VI of Pontus (22), Muhammad (17), and Buddha (15). Fictional characters such as Harry Potter (8) scored lower.

New Testament researcher James McGrath argues that fictional non-royal figures will score low on the scale and thus would be misclassified as "historical", while historical rulers will start off with a number of points automatically which would make them more likely to be misclassified as "mythical", for instance, Czar Nicholas II was historical and scored high and Harry Potter was clearly fictional and yet scored lower. Since the Rank and Raglan scales depend on the narratives about individuals, there is also an inherent problem in that sources will depict the same individual in a contradictory light as in the case of political figures who have supporters and opponents who wish to push contradictory narratives.

Hero's Journey (Monomyth)

According to Robert Segal, "The theories of Rank, Campbell, and Raglan typify the array of analyses of hero myths." For Otto Rank, the true subject of any hero myth was family relations, for Lord Raglan it was the physical world and the gods that controlled it, and for Joseph Campbell it was the mind. Both Rank and Campbell overlapped in views of myths as serving psychological functions and being primarily symbolic.

According to Northup (2006), mainstream scholarship of comparative mythology since Campbell has moved away from "highly general and universal" categories in general. This attitude is illustrated by e.g.  Consentino (1998), who remarks "It is just as important to stress differences as similarities, to avoid creating a (Joseph) Campbell soup of myths that loses all local flavor."

Similarly,  Ellwood (1999) stated "A tendency to think in generic terms of people, races ... is undoubtedly the profoundest flaw in mythological thinking."

Others have found the categories Campbell works with so vague as to be meaningless, and lacking the support required of scholarly argument:  Crespi (1990), writing in response to Campbell's filmed presentation of his model characterized it as "... unsatisfying from a social science perspective. Campbell's ethnocentrism will raise objections, and his analytic level is so abstract and devoid of ethnographic context that myth loses the very meanings supposed to be embedded in the 'hero.'" In Sacred Narrative: Readings in the Theory of Myth (1984), editor Alan Dundes  dismisses Campbell's work, characterizing him as a popularizer: "like most universalists, he is content to merely assert universality rather than bother to document it. […] If Campbell's generalizations about myth are not substantiated, why should students consider his work?"

title: Thunder Road Brewing Company

text:
Thunder Road Brewing Company is an independent brewery operating in the Melbourne inner suburb of Brunswick, Australia.  Since opening its doors for business in 2011, the brewery’s beers have been distributed for sale in Melbourne and distribution is now expanding throughout Australia.
Thunder Road Brewing Company brews year-round flagship beers including Full Steam Pale Lager, Collingwood Draught, Hop Star, Brunswick Bitter, as well as limited release seasonal beers, for on-tap sales.  In 2015, the company also introduced its first line of packaged beer, the Double Fermentation Series, and began a range of barrel aged beers known as the "President's Reserve" series.

The company is an active supporter of local sporting clubs, cultural events and local and national philanthropic organisations.  It is a sponsor of the local Brunswick Women's Australian Rules Football club, the Brunswick Renegades.  The company also sponsors a local fist-ball team - the Fistroy Lions.

In June 2014, Thunder Road held a major philanthropic event to raise money for the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) and donated over $10,000 to the charity.  The event attempted a "world record" by having the most people to ever brew a single batch of beer and drew over 800 "volunteer" brewers in a single day of brewing.  The beer was subsequently bottled and labeled "Be Strong Ale" based on volunteers voting for the beer's name and given to volunteer brewers.

The company is also a multiyear sponsor of the Brunswick Music Festival, a multi-week musical festival that highlights established and up and coming musical acts both from Australian and from overseas, and the annual associated Sydney Road Street Party, which routinely draws tens of thousands of attendees.  Both events are supported by the local Moreland Council, which encompasses the suburb of Brunswick.

In 2012 Thunder Road Brewing Company undertook legal action to unlock the trademarks to 59 heritage beer brands (including Ballarat Bitter, Richmond Lager, Kent, NQ Lager and Bulimba Gold Top) that had been acquired by CUB but were no longer in use as Thunder Road Brewing planned to release its own beers under the same names.

In September 2013 the Australian Trade Marks Office denied the request.  However, the Trade Mark Office agreed with the company's central argument regarding “non-use.”   In total, with 53 of the 54 trade marks at issue – grounds for “non-use” applications were established. Furthermore, ten additional CUB trade marks were ordered removed from the trademark register.  The remaining marks stayed on the register through the exercise of the Registrar's discretion.

In 2015 the company was awarded the 'Champion Medium Sized Australian Brewer' for the second consecutive year, the first time an Australian brewery has won this award back-to-back, at the Australian International Beer Awards.
