Incidents

Helsingborgs IF vs. Djurgårdens IF
The season-opening Allsvenskan match at Olympia against Helsingborgs IF on 30 March 2014 was abandoned after 42 minutes of play, with the score at that time being 1–1. Djurgården fans invaded the pitch after reports that a Djurgården fan had died from injuries sustained in an assault outside the arena before the beginning of the match. The assault occurred at the Kärnan medieval tower. The death of the 43-year-old man was confirmed by the Skåne police. This was the first football-related death in Sweden since 2002, when IFK Göteborg supporter Tony Deogan was killed in Stockholm in a clash with AIK supporters. Another four people also sustained injuries in connection to the match. The decision was made to abandon the match. On 14 April 2014, the Swedish Football Association's (SFA) disciplinary committee decided that the match would not continue and that it would end with the score 1–1. According to the committee, the decision was taken in respect of the man killed.

Two days after the death, a 28-year-old man from Helsingborg was arrested. On 16 June 2014, the Helsingborg District Court sentenced him to eight months in prison for assault and involuntary manslaughter.

title: Iceland at the 2014 Winter Paralympics

text:
Iceland sent a delegation to compete at the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia from 7–16 March 2014.  This was Iceland's third time participating at a Winter Paralympic Games.  The Icelandic delegation consisted of two alpine skiers, Erna Friðriksdóttir and Jóhann Þór Hólmgrímsson.  Jóhann finished 23rd in the men's sitting giant slalom, while Erna finished 10th in the women's sitting slalom and 9th in the women's sitting giant slalom.

Background
Iceland has participated in every Summer Paralympics since the 1980 Summer Paralympics.  Before Sochi, they had only participated in two Winter Paralympic Games, the 1994 and 2010 editions, Sochi was therefore their third appearance at a Winter Paralympics.  The 2014 Winter Paralympics were held from 7–16 March 2014, in Sochi, Russia; 45 countries and 547 athletes took part in the multi-sport event. The Icelandic delegation to Sochi consisted of two alpine skiers, Erna Friðriksdóttir and Jóhann Þór Hólmgrímsson.  Erna was chosen as the Icelandic flag-bearer for the parade of nations during the opening ceremony, and Jóhann was chosen for the closing ceremony.

Disability classification
Every participant at the Paralympics has their disability grouped into one of five disability categories: amputation, the condition may be congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy; wheelchair athletes, though there is often overlap between this and other categories; visual impairment, including blindness; and Les autres, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, like dwarfism or multiple sclerosis. Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Events with "B" in the code are for athletes with visual impairment, codes LW1 to LW9 are for athletes who stand to compete and LW10 to LW12 are for athletes who compete sitting down. Alpine skiing events grouped athletes into separate competitions for sitting, standing and visually impaired athletes.

Alpine skiing

Jóhann Þór Hólmgrímsson was born with spina bifida, and is classified as an LW12-1 and competes in a sitting position.  He was 21 years old at the time of the Sochi Paralympics.  On 13 March, Jóhann took part in the men's sitting slalom, but did not finish the first leg of the race.  On 15 March, in the men's sitting giant slalom, he finished the first run in 1 minute and 56.84 seconds, and the second run in a faster 1 minute and 41.59 seconds.  Jóhann's total time of 3 minutes and 38.43 seconds put him 23rd and last among competitors who finished both legs.  The gold medal was won by Christoph Kunz of Switzerland in a time of 2 minutes and 32.73 seconds.

Erna Friðriksdóttir was also born with spina bifida, and is also classified as LW12-1.  She had previously represented Iceland at the 2010 Winter Paralympics, and was 26 years old at the time of the Sochi Paralympics.  On 12 March, she participated in the women's sitting slalom, finishing the first run in a time of 1 minute and 33.41 seconds, and the second in 1 minute and 36.89 seconds.  Her time of 3 minutes and 10.30 seconds placed her 10th and last among the classified finishers, and 1 minute behind gold medallist Anna Schaffelhuber of Germany. Four days later, on 16 March, she competed in the women's sitting giant slalom.  She posted run times of 1 minute and 49.53 seconds and a faster 1 minute and 41.66 seconds.  Her total time was 3 minutes and 31.19 seconds, placing her 9th out of 12 finishers, and roughly 40 seconds behind the gold medalist Schaffelhuber.

title: List of Coleco Adam games

text:
The Coleco Adam is a personal computer developed by Coleco from October 1983 to January 1985.

Coleco released the computer as a separate unit and as Expansion Module #3 for its ColecoVision, which would upgrade the console to make it fully compatible with the Adam. Earlier in its lifetime, the Adam suffered major defects leading to as many as 60 percent of the first batch of machines being returned. The negative publicity of the defects, along with a sluggish production rate after a late 1983 approval from the Federal Communications Commission, guaranteed dismal sales, including one missed figure in Christmas 1983 (only about 95,000 units shipped against the expected 500,000), and software developers were hesitant to support the computer. After failing to rectify its marred reputation despite repairing most of the defects, aggressive price cuts, and even a $500 scholarship program, Coleco discontinued the computer more than a year after its launch.

One advantage of the Coleco Adam is that it is inherently fully compatible with all ColecoVision titles through its cartridge slot. This list only contains games that natively support the computer and its features, which were usually released on proprietary Digital Data Pack cassette tapes. For a separate list for ColecoVision, see list of ColecoVision games. Long after its support was dropped, a community of enthusiasts continues to provide hardware and software for the machine, including homebrew games. Therefore, only games that have been noted by a publication are counted for inclusion.

title: Chinami Yoshida

text:
is a Japanese curler. She currently plays third for Team Loco Solare, which is skipped by Satsuki Fujisawa. The team won the bronze medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics and the silver medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Career
Yoshida began curling at age seven at the Tokoro Curling Club in Kitami. During her junior days, she skipped a Kitami-based junior rink of Kaho Onodera, Yumi Suzuki, and her sister Yurika Yoshida. They became a sensation by winning two straight bronze medals at the Japan Curling Championships when they were only in their early teens. However, on the national junior scene, the Yoshida rink was usually lagging behind other Japanese junior rinks, such as Satsuki Fujisawa and Sayaka Yoshimura, and therefore never earned the right to represent Japan at the Pacific Junior Curling Championships or the World Junior Curling Championships.

After her junior career, Yoshida joined Ayumi Ogasawara's Sapporo-based rink in late 2010, for which she mainly played lead. At the 2014 Winter Olympics, where they represented Japan and finished fifth with a 4–5 record, Yoshida was officially listed as the alternate for Team Japan but played second in 6 games and as lead in 2 games due to her teammate's flu.

After the 2013–14 season, Yoshida left the Ogasawara rink and returned to her hometown of Kitami. There, in June 2014, she joined Mari Motohashi's rink as third, reuniting with her former teammates Yumi Suzuki and Yurika Yoshida, both of whom had played for the Motohashi rink since 2010. With the team, Yoshida won her first World Curling Tour title at the 2014 Avonair Cash Spiel. Later in the 2014–15 season, at the national championships, they lost the final against the Ogasawara rink to miss a berth to the world championships.

In May 2015, the Motohashi rink added Satsuki Fujisawa, who was a four-time Japanese champion skip at that point. Motohashi, after that, moved from skip to alternate because of her pregnancy, and Fujisawa took over the rink of third Chinami Yoshida, second Yumi Suzuki, and lead Yurika Yoshida. During the 2015–16 season, they had success internationally as Japan's national team, winning gold at the 2015 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships and a silver at the 2016 World Women's Curling Championship, which was Japan's first-ever world championship medal. Meanwhile, domestically, Yoshida, with the team, won her first national championship title at the 2016 Japan Curling Championships. The team would win a bronze medal at the 2016 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships and a silver at the 2017 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships. They also won a bronze medal at the 2017 Asian Winter Games.

The rink would win the 2017 Japanese Olympic Curling Trials, and would represent Japan at the 2018 Olympics winning a bronze medal in the process.

Yoshida skipped the Fujisawa rink at the 2018 Humpty's Champions Cup with Fujisawa away playing in the 2018 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship. The team finished winless during the event, going 0–4 in the round robin.

Yoshida again represented Japan at the 2018 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships. Her team went an undefeated 6–0 record in the round robin but lost to the Koreans (skipped by Kim Min-ji) in the final. The next month, she represented Japan in the second leg of the 2018–19 Curling World Cup in Omaha, United States, which her team would end up winning, this time defeating Kim and her South Korean rink in the final.

Team Fujisawa began the 2019–20 season at the 2019 Hokkaido Bank Curling Classic, where they lost in the final to Jiang Yilun. Next, they won the ADVICS Cup. They had two more playoff appearances at their next two events, the Booster Juice Shoot-Out and the 2019 Colonial Square Ladies Classic, where they had semifinal and quarterfinal finishes, respectively. Next, they had a semifinal finish at the 2019 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic. In Grand Slam play, they made the quarterfinals at the Masters and the semifinals of the Tour Challenge, National and Canadian Open. They had two more playoff appearances on tour at the Red Deer Curling Classic, where they lost in the quarterfinals, and the Karuizawa International, where they lost the final to Anna Sidorova. For the first time in four seasons, Team Fujisawa won the Japan Curling Championships, defeating Seina Nakajima in the final. The team was set to represent Japan at the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship before the event got cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Japanese Championship would be their last event of the season as both the Players' Championship and the Champions Cup Grand Slam events were also cancelled due to the pandemic.

Team Fujisawa played in no World Curling Tour events during the abbreviated 2020–21 season as there were no events held in Japan or Asia. The team would compete in the 2021 Japan Curling Championships, held from February 8 to 14, 2021 in Wakkanai, Hokkaido, as the defending champions. After an unblemished 6–0 round robin record, the team defeated Team Sayaka Yoshimura of Hokkaido Bank to advance to the final where they would once again face Yoshimura. Down one in the tenth, Team Yoshimura scored two points to win the national championship 7–6 over Team Fujisawa. This meant that once again, the team would not get to represent Japan at the World Championships. Team Fujisawa ended their season at the 2021 Champions Cup and 2021 Players' Championship Grand Slam events, which were played in a "curling bubble" in Calgary, Alberta, with no spectators, to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. The team had quarterfinal finishes at both events, losing out to Rachel Homan at the Champions Cup and Anna Hasselborg at the Players'.

In their first event of the 2021–22 season, Team Fujisawa finished runner-up at the 2021 Hokkaido Bank Curling Classic. They then played in the 2021 Japanese Olympic Curling Trials, which were held in a best-of-five contest between the Fujisawa and Sayaka Yoshimura rinks. After losing the first two games, Team Fujisawa rattled off three straight victories to win the trials and earn the right to represent Japan at the 2021 Olympic Qualification Event. There, the team finished third in the round robin and then defeated South Korea to secure their spot in the 2022 Winter Olympics. At the Games, Team Fujisawa led Japan to a 5–4 round robin record, enough to qualify as the fourth seeds in the playoff round. They then defeated the number one seeds in Switzerland's Silvana Tirinzoni to advance to the Olympic final, where they would face Great Britain's Eve Muirhead. The team could not keep their momentum going in the final, however, dropping the match 10–3, earning the silver medal. Elsewhere on tour for the season, Team Fujisawa lost in the final of the 2021 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic after a previously undefeated record. In November, they went undefeated to claim the Red Deer Curling Classic. In Grand Slam play, they only qualified in one of three events they played in, the 2022 Players' Championship, where they reached the quarterfinals. The team wrapped up their season at the 2022 Japan Curling Championships. There, they went 7–1 through the round robin and won the 1 vs. 2 page playoff game over Hokkaido Bank. They then defeated the Ikue Kitazawa's Chubu Electric Power team 7–3 in the final to claim the national title.

The Fujisawa rink won their second event of the 2022–23 season, going undefeated to win the Advics Cup. At the 2022 National, the team went undefeated until the semifinals where they were stopped by Kerri Einarson 8–5. They also lost to Team Einarson at the next Slam, 6–5 in a tiebreaker. Because they won the 2022 national championship, Team Fujisawa represented Japan at the 2022 Pan Continental Curling Championships where they finished third in the round robin with a 6–2 record. They then beat Canada's Einarson in the semifinal before defeating Korea's Ha Seung-youn 8–6 in the championship game. The team again missed the playoffs at the 2022 Masters after a 1–3 record. In the new year, the team was the first qualifier at the 2023 Canadian Open, winning all three of their pre-qualifying matches. They then won 8–7 over Anna Hasselborg in the quarterfinals and 7–6 over Gim Eun-ji in the semifinals to reach their first Slam final. There, they became the first Asian team to win a Slam, excluding defunct events, with a 5–3 win over Team Einarson. Team Fujisawa won their second straight national title at the 2023 Japan Curling Championships, defeating SC Karuizawa Club's Asuka Kanai 7–5 in the final. This qualified them for the 2023 World Women's Curling Championship where they qualified for the playoffs with a 7–5 record. They were then eliminated by Canada 6–4 in the qualification round. They finished their season with a quarterfinal appearance at the 2023 Players' Championship and a semifinal appearance at the 2023 Champions Cup, losing out to the Einarson rink at both events.

Personal life
Yoshida is employed as an office worker for a car dealing company in Kitami City, which is one of her curling team's sponsors. Her younger sister Yurika Yoshida is her long-time teammate from their junior curling days, and her older sister Natsuki is a curler who has competed in the PJCC and the WJCC before.

title: Romania at the 2014 Winter Paralympics

text:
Romania competed at the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia, held between 7–16 March 2014.  This was Romania's second appearance at a Winter Paralympic Games.  The Romanian delegation consisted of one alpine skier, Laura Valeanu, who finished fifth in the slalom and seventh in the giant slalom.

Background
Romania first participated in Paralympic competition at the 1972 Summer Paralympics in Heidelberg, Germany, but did not make another appearance until the 1996 Summer Paralympics in Atlanta.  Their only prior appearance at the Winter Paralympics was four years prior, at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympics. Although the nation has won medals at the Summer Paralympics, they have yet to win a medal at the Winter Paralympics.  The 2014 Winter Paralympics were held from 7–16 March 2014, in Sochi, Russia; 45 countries and 547 athletes took part in the multi-sport event. Laura Valeanu was selected as the only athletes in the Romanian delegation to Sochi. She was chosen as the Romanian flag bearer for the parade of nations during the opening ceremony and for the closing ceremony.

Disability classification
Every participant at the Paralympics has their disability grouped into one of five disability categories; amputation, the condition may be congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy; wheelchair athletes, there is often overlap between this and other categories; visual impairment, including blindness; and Les Autres, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example dwarfism or multiple sclerosis. Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Events with "B" in the code are for athletes with visual impairment, codes LW1 to LW9 are for athletes who stand to compete and LW10 to LW12 are for athletes who compete sitting down. Alpine skiing events grouped athletes into separate competitions for sitting, standing and visually impaired athletes.

Alpine skiing

Laura Valeanu was 24 years old at the time of the Sochi Paralympics. She had previously represented Romania at the 2010 Winter Paralympics.  Valeanu was injured in a motorcycle accident in 2006, and her right leg was amputated below the knee.  She is classified as LW4, and therefore competes in a standing position.  An LW4 is explained by the International Paralympic Committee as "Similar to skiers in Sport Class LW 2, LW 4 skiers have an impairment in one leg only, but with less Activity Limitation. A typical example is a below knee amputation in one leg. They will use two skis during the race."  LW2's, on the other hand, use only one ski.  On 12 March, she competed in the standing slalom, and posted run times of one minute and five seconds and one minute and four seconds.  Her combined time of two minutes and 10 seconds saw her in fifth place, and a mere three seconds off the bronze medal time; the gold medal was won by Andrea Rothfuss of Germany. On 16 March she took part in the standing giant slalom, and completed the course in times of 1 minute and 33 seconds and 1 minute and 20 seconds.  Her combined time was 2 minutes and 54 seconds, which put her in 7th place out of 15 competitors who finished both runs of the course; Marie Bochet of France won the gold medal.

Russia competed as the host nation at the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, held between 7–16 March 2014.
Russia's 80 medals count is the highest medals ever recorded. The previous record was held by Austria with 70 medals in 1984.

In December 2014, German public broadcaster ARD aired a documentary which made wide-ranging allegations that Russia organized a state-run doping program which supplied their athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.  In November 2015, Russia's track and field team was provisionally suspended by the IAAF.

In May 2016, The New York Times published allegations by the former director of Russia's anti-doping laboratory, Grigory Rodchenkov, that a conspiracy of corrupt anti-doping officials, FSB intelligence agents, and compliant Russian athletes used banned substances to gain an unfair advantage during the Games.

On 9 December 2016, Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren published the second part of his independent report. The investigation found that from 2011 to 2015, more than 1,000 Russian competitors in various sports (including summer, winter, and Paralympic sports) benefited from the cover-up. Emails indicate that they included five blind powerlifters, who may have been given drugs without their knowledge, and a fifteen-year-old.

Concerns and controversies

Prior to the Games, the Ukrainian territory of Crimea was seized by the Russian military in the wake of the Ukrainian revolution. The Ukraine team still participated in the Games, but Valeriy Sushkevich, head of the country's National Paralympic Committee, warned that "if there is an escalation of the conflict, intervention on the territory of our country, God forbid the worst, we would not be able to stay here. We would go." Similarly to the Olympics, political protests and statements among athletes were forbidden during Paralympic events, although two major, symbolic protests by the Ukrainian team occurred during the Games. During the opening ceremonies, all but one of the country's 31 athletes declined to participate in the parade of nations. The country was represented solely by Nordic skier and flagbearer Mykailo Tkachenko, whose entrance was greeted with an ovation from the audience. Some Ukrainian medalists were seen covering their medal with their hand during ceremonies as another form of silent protest; Sushkevich stated that the covering was "a demonstration that aggression and the high ideals of Paralympic sports are incompatible."

title: New Zealand at the 2014 Winter Paralympics

text:
New Zealand sent a delegation to compete at the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia, held between 7–16 March 2014. The country continued its streak of competing in every Winter Paralympics since 1984.  New Zealand's delegation consisted of three competitors in alpine skiing, one of whom, Corey Peters, won a silver medal in the giant slalom.  With one silver medal, the country tied for 16th on the medal table for these Paralympics.

Background
New Zealand first began participating in the Summer Paralympics in 1968, and the Winter Paralympics  in 1984.  They have participated in every Paralympic Games since those respective debuts.  The team New Zealand sent to Sochi included three athletes and seven support staff.  The Chef de Mission for the team was Ashley Light.  The team had a goal of winning two gold medals. Adam Hall was chosen as the New Zealand flagbearer for the parade of nations during the opening ceremony.  Corey Peters was selected as the flagbearer for the closing ceremony.

Disability classification
Every participant at the Paralympics has their disability grouped into one of five disability categories; amputation, the condition may be congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy; wheelchair athletes, there is often overlap between this and other categories; visual impairment, including blindness; or Les autres.  Les autres includes+ any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example dwarfism or multiple sclerosis. Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition. Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing. Events with "B" in the code are for athletes with visual impairment, codes LW1 to LW9 are for athletes who stand to compete and LW10 to LW12 are for athletes who compete sitting down. Alpine skiing events grouped athletes into separate competitions for sitting, standing and visually impaired athletes.

Alpine skiing

Adam Hall was born with spina bifida; he said he considers himself "lucky" because he is able to stand with this condition, when most people that have it are confined to a wheelchair. He won a gold medal at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in the slalom event.   He competed in three events.  In the men's super-G he did not finish the single-run race.  In the Slalom, he was inside the top 10 for both heats, finishing with a combined time of one minute and 44 seconds, good enough for 7th place.  In the Super combined he finished 4th, his time was a mere 24 hundredths of a second out of bronze medal position.

Corey Peters was paralyzed as a result of a motocross injury in September 2009.   He participates in the sitting category of events, and took part in four events in Sochi.  In the Super-G he finished in 6th place.  In the Super Combined, he finished fourth with a time of 2 minutes, 21 seconds; 1.91 seconds behind the bronze medalist.  After placing 16th in the first run of the slalom, he failed to finish the second leg of the event.  In the giant slalom, he led the race after the first run with a time of 1 minute 18 seconds. Despite being faster in the second run, the field was also faster in general, and he had to settle for the silver medal, being less than half a second behind the gold medal time.

Snowboarding

For the 2014 Winter Paralympics, snowboard cross was considered a discipline of Alpine skiing, rather than a separate sport. Snowboarding was offered only for athletes who competed in a standing position. The men's snowboard cross event was held on 14 March 2014.  Carl Murphy has been a below-the-knee amputee in one leg since birth.   He finished his first two runs in fourth place.  Only the two best runs for each competitor counted, but with the chance to improve into the medal podium positions, he fell three times on his third and final run.  His first two runs were good enough for him to hold fourth place.

title: P. J. Williams

text:
Kenneth Lamar "P. J." Williams (born June 1, 1993) is an American football free safety who is a free agent. He played college football at Florida State. He was the Defensive MVP of the 2014 BCS National Championship Game.

Early years
Williams attended Vanguard High School in Ocala, Florida, where he played high school football. He played cornerback and wide receiver. He was ranked by Rivals.com as the nations ninth best safety recruit.

In addition to football, he was also a sprinter for the track team. He ran a career-best time of 10.68 seconds in the 100 meters at the prelims of the 2011 FHSAA 3A District 5 Championships.

College career
As a true freshman in 2012, Williams played in 14 games recording 14 tackles. As a sophomore in 2013, Williams made 35 tackles, had three interceptions and scored a touchdown. He was the Defensive MVP of the 2014 BCS National Championship Game after recording seven tackles and an interception. As a junior in 2014, Williams had 74 tackles, one interception and one sack.

On January 6, 2015, Williams announced via Twitter that he decided to forgo his senior season and declare himself eligible for the 2015 NFL Draft. He stated, "I will be taking my talent to the NFL, I wanna thank the NoleNation for some of the best 3 years of my life, the memories will never fade!"

Professional career
Williams was one of 54 collegiate defensive backs to attend the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. He performed all of the combine drills and finished first among all defensive backs in the broad jump and third in the vertical jump. His mediocre time in the 40-yard dash was seen as a disappointment by scouts and analysts. On March 31, 2015, Williams attended Florida State's pro day and chose to stand on the majority of numbers from the combine. He posted better times in the  40-yard dash (4.48s), 20-yard dash (2.55s), and 10-yard dash (1.58s), while also improving his vertical (41") and broad jump (11'3"). He showed smooth and fluid movement and displayed good hands in his position drills despite being sick with the flu. Over 150 scouts, team representatives, and media members attended Florida State's pro day, including head coaches Sean Payton (Saints), Lovie Smith (Buccaneers), Mike Tomlin (Steelers), Todd Bowles (Jets), and Ken Whisenhunt (Titans). During the draft process, Williams had private workouts and meetings with a few teams, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, and Dallas Cowboys. On April 3, 2015, Williams was arrested for DUI, but charges were dropped for insufficient evidence on April 27. 2015. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, NFL draft experts and scouts projected Williams to be a late first or second round pick. He was ranked the third best cornerback in the draft by Sports Illustrated, the fifth best cornerback by NFL analyst Charles Davis, was ranked the ninth best cornerback in the draft by NFL analyst Mike Mayock, and was ranked the 10th best cornerback prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.

The New Orleans Saints selected Williams in the third round (78th overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft. Williams unexpectedly fell to the Saints in the third round and was the 11th cornerback drafted in 2015. The pick used to select Williams originally was acquired from the Miami Dolphins along with Dannell Ellerbe in exchange for Kenny Stills.

2015
On May 12, 2015, the New Orleans Saints signed Williams to a four-year, $3.06 million contract and includes a signing bonus of $706,619.

Throughout training camp, Williams competed against Kyle Wilson, Damian Swann, Stanley Jean-Baptiste, and Delvin Breaux for the starting nickelback on the depth chart. On September 1, 2015, the New Orleans Saints placed Williams on injured reserve after suffering a torn hamstring. He did not appear in any games during his rookie season and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was fired in November.

2016
Williams returned in time for organized team activities and training camp. He competed for the starting nickelback job against Damian Swann and received snaps at outside corner while Keenan Lewis was out with an injury. Head coach Sean Payton named Williams the starting cornerback, along with Delvin Breaux, after the Saints opted to release Keenan Lewis.

He made his professional regular season debut and first career start in the New Orleans Saints' season-opener against the Oakland Raiders and recorded five combined tackles and a pass deflection in their 35-34 loss. On September 21, 2016, Williams suffered a serious concussion while attempting to make a tackle on New York Giants' tight end Larry Donnell. During the play, Donnell's right leg appeared to strike Williams' shoulder while he attempted to tackle Donnell and then took an accidental knee to the back of the helmet by Saints' linebacker Craig Robertson. The force snapped Williams head and neck back. Williams crumbled to the ground and players began frantically signaling for trainer that immediately responded and strapped Williams to a backboard and carted him off the field. It was reported he had movement of his extremities and was transported to a local hospital for testing and evaluation. Williams finished the 16–13 loss at the New York Giants with two solo tackles and a pass deflection. On September 21, 2016, the New Orleans Saints placed Williams on injured reserve for the remainder of the season after he was diagnosed with a concussion. He finished the  season with seven combined tackles (five solo) and two pass deflections in two games and two starts.

2017
Williams entered training camp competing for a job as the starting cornerback, opposite Delvin Breaux, against rookie first round pick Marshon Lattimore. Head coach Sean Payton named him one of the starting cornerbacks with Ken Crawley to begin the regular season after Breaux suffered a fractured fibula during camp.

He started the New Orleans Saints' season-opener at the Minnesota Vikings and recorded eight combined tackles during their 29-19 loss. The following week, he recorded a season-high ten combined tackles and a pass deflection in the Saints' 36-20 loss to the New England Patriots. On September 24, 2017, Williams made three combined tackles, deflected a pass, and made his first career interception off a pass attempt by Cam Newton in New Orleans' 34-13 victory. Although he played well, Williams was demoted to a reserve role behind Marshon Lattimore and Ken Crawley due to an unspecified disciplinary issue prior to their Week 4 matchup at the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Sean Payton declined to further comment on the matter, stating it was between the team and Williams. In Week 9, Williams recorded two combined tackles and deflected a pass during a 30-10 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after returning from a four-game stretch where he did not record a stat. On November 26, 2017, he made three solo tackles, three pass deflections, and intercepted Jared Goff in the Saints' 26-20 loss at the Los Angeles Rams. Williams finished the  season with 47 combined tackles (34 solo), nine pass deflections, and two interceptions in 16 games and six starts.

The New Orleans Saints finished the season first in the NFC South with an 11-5 record and received a wildcard playoff berth. On January 7, 2018, Williams played in his first playoff game and recorded a tackle and a pass deflection during the Saints' 31-26 victory over the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Wildcard game. The following week, he recorded four combined tackles and defended a pass as the Saints lost 29-24 at the Minnesota Vikings.

2018
In Week 8, Williams intercepted a pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins and returned it 45 yards for the touchdown in a 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings, earning him NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

2019

On April 2, 2019, Williams re-signed with the Saints. He was suspended for two games on October 15, 2019, for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He was reinstated from suspension on October 29, 2019, and the team received a roster exemption for him. He was activated the next day.
In week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Williams recorded his first interception of the season off a pass thrown by Jameis Winston in the 34–17 win.

2020
On April 7, 2020, the Saints re-signed Williams to a one-year, $2 million contract.

In Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football, Williams recovered a fumble lost by running back Jalen Richard during the 34–24 loss.
In Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers, Williams recorded his first interception of the season off a pass thrown by P. J. Walker during the 33–7 win.

2021
On March 29, 2021, Williams re-signed with the Saints on a one-year contract. In a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 31, 2021, Williams intercepted Tom Brady's pass intended for Chris Godwin and returned it 40 yards for a game-clinching pick six, and his second career defensive touchdown.

2022
On April 4, 2022, Williams re-signed with the Saints on a one-year contract. He was placed on injured reserve on October 8. He was activated on November 7.

Personal life
On October 5, 2014, Williams was involved in a car accident in Tallahassee, Florida. He and his two passengers, including teammate Ronald Darby, left the accident scene. Williams returned a short time later, the police officer on scene reported that Williams stated that his phone was dead and he went to make a phone call. The Tallahassee Police Department initially identified the accident as a hit and run, but downgraded the incident, issuing Williams two tickets one for driving on a suspended license. The accident was not included in Tallahassee's public online database of police calls.

On April 3, 2015, Williams was arrested for DUI in Tallahassee, Florida. Williams was pulled over after making an illegal left turn and swerving while he was driving a rental vehicle on a suspended license. The officer claimed Williams had blood shot and watery eyes and displayed slurred speech. He was arrested after declining to perform a field sobriety test and to take a breathalyzer at Leon County Jail. On April 27, 2015, it was reported that the DUI charge had been dropped. Paperwork filed by the state attorney stated, "The state is unable" to prove that Williams was driving and that his faculties were impaired by alcohol."

title: Luttrell Loop

text:
The Toronto Transit Commission's Luttrell Loop was the eastern terminus of the Bloor streetcar line. The loop was closed in 1968 after completion of an extension of the Bloor–Danforth subway line.

In 1913, the Toronto Civic Railways, owned by the City of Toronto, opened its Danforth streetcar line along Danforth Avenue from Broadview Avenue to Luttrell Avenue. The TCR used double-ended streetcars, so there were crossovers at each end of the line. After the Toronto Transportation Commission took over the TCR in 1921, it constructed the Luttrell Loop to turn single-ended Peter Witt streetcars. In 1923, the Luttrell Loop became the eastern terminal of the Bloor streetcar line running from Jane Loop, its western terminal. In 1966, the Bloor–Danforth subway line replaced the Bloor streetcar line between Woodbine and Keele stations. From then, the Danforth streetcar shuttle started running between Woodbine station and Luttrell Loop until replaced by an extension of the subway line in 1968.

The Luttrell Loop had two arrangements. Until 1955, the loop crossed the south-west corner of Danforth and Luttrell avenues in a counter-clockwise direction. The loop was next door to the garage of Danforth Bus Lines, absorbed by the TTC in 1954. In 1955, a new larger loop opened turning south on Kelvin Avenue, east on a private right-of way (behind the former Danforth Bus Lines garage) where a platform and waiting rooms were available, then north on Luttrell Avenue, and west on Danforth Avenue. Also, in 1955, the Main Loop was built on Main Street just north of Danforth Avenue to eliminate the congestion of having Carlton streetcars looping at the Luttrell Loop. Like the Jane Loop at the other end of the Bloor line, several local and intercity bus routes also terminated at the loop, allowing commuters to transfer between routes.

Luttrell Avenue, an otherwise obscure, tiny dead-end street, was (at the time the loop was in use) the eastern limit of the City of Toronto as it intersected with Danforth Avenue.  The borders of the borough of East York dipped down south of the Danforth at this point to encompass the Ford Motor plant (later Shoppers World Danforth), which lay directly to the east of Luttrell.

title: Harry Maitey

text:
The name Harry Maitey was given by Germans to a native Hawaiian (April 23, 1807 – February 26, 1872), who was the first Hawaiian in Prussia, Germany. According to the records of Wilhelm von Humboldt, he stated Teoni as his father's name and Bete as his mother's. He married Dorothea Charlotte Becker from Stolpe on August 28, 1833. Their son Heinrich Wilhelm Otto (born December 2, 1837) and his younger sister Friederike Wilhelmine (born in 1846) died as infants, while their second son Heinrich Wilhelm Eduard (born December 8, 1839, died 1906) survived his parents. His daughter Martha (born 1869), Maitey's only grandchild attaining adulthood, remained unmarried.

Biography

Early life

There is little known about Maitey's life in Hawai‘i. The information about his Hawaiian name Kaparena seems to have no confirmation from other sources. When the Prussian frigate Mentor arrived in Honolulu on November 28, 1823, the French whaler L'Aigle had left the harbour the day before with the Hawaiian king Liholiho and his queen Kamamalu the day before. Chiefs from other islands gathered on Oʻahu while the king was absent, and also the death of Keoua, the governor of Maui, caused an atmosphere of political uneasiness. It is unknown, if this situation urged Maitey to plead to be taken aboard of the Mentor, the first Prussian ship both to circumnavigate the globe as well as visiting Hawai‘i. Inquiries about the Hawaiian teenager confirmed, that he had no relatives, and he was allowed to leave Hawai‘i. The name Maitey was recorded by the Germans as Henry's (or Harry's) family name, but was obviously derived from the Hawaiian maika‘i or maita‘i.

Journey to Prussia

During the voyage the ownership of the ship was transferred to the  (Prussian Maritime Enterprise) under the jurisdiction of the Prussian king Frederick William III. Therefore, after the arrival of the Mentor in Swinemünde on September 14, 1824, the king was informed about the Sandwich islander, and decided on September 27, that the president of the Seehandlungsgesellschaft, Christian Rother, should bring him to Berlin. Maitey stayed in Rother's house there until the king decided on October 15, that he had to be educated in the German language and the principles of Christianity.

Education

Maitey continued to live with the family of president Rother until 1827, when he moved to the Erziehungshaus vor dem Halleschen Tor, a school institution he had attended since 1825. In 1827 Maitey was invited to meet Wilhelm von Humboldt for conversations about the Hawaiian language, the result of which Humboldt presented first in the Berlin Academy of Sciences in 1828. Based on these conversations the Sandwich-Wörterverzeichnis (Sandwich glossary) served as foundation of his research on the Malayo-Polynesian languages and Maitey was Humboldt's most important source for the Hawaiian language.

From fall in 1829 he had a Hawaiian companion in the Erziehungshaus for about eight months, Jony Kahopimeai, who had come to Germany with the Prussian ship Princess Louise. After Maitey started to serve at Peacock Island Jony occasionally visited him, but in February 1831 he became ill, died from pneumonia and was buried on March 2, 1831.

Service at Peacock Island

On April 23, 1830, Maitey was baptized and confirmed. He was given the German names Heinrich Wilhelm at the christening. In August Maitey was taken over by the royal household and assigned as assistant to the engine master at Peacock Island (German: Pfaueninsel). He was listed as a ward of the king and assistant to the engine master. However, it is documented that there was also a suggestion, that Maitey should become the ferryman of Peacock Island, but obviously his final assignments were a much better perspective for him.

In summer 1834 two Hawaiian geese (nēnē), which were brought to Germany on the ship Princess Louise as well, arrived also on the island.

The engine master Franciscus Joseph Friedrich trained Maitey as wood turner, locksmith, and cabinetmaker.

After some difficulties Maitey got the royal marriage consent with help from Christian Rother, and married Dorothea Charlotte Becker on August 25, 1833, in the church of Stolpe. After the wedding the couple moved to Klein-Glienicke, therefore Maitey had to travel to Peacock Island for work. Later he was more and more absent, which created difficulties for his relationship with Friedrich. Finally it was decided, that Maitey was assigned to the royal Garten Inspector Fintelmann.

While working under master Friedrich, Maitey apparently helped him building miniature replicas of famous castles and cathedrals from ivory and mother-of-pearl. The part of his carving skills seemed to be essential, because it was stated later, that Friedrich did not make the models anymore after Maitey left as his assistant. It is also suggested that Maitey was the artist who created some yellow room dividers in the castle, which were attributed to Friedrich as well.

Late years and descendants

Living in Klein-Glienicke (Kurfürstenstraße 10) for the rest of his life, Maitey died of smallpox at his home on February 26, 1872, "a pensioner of the king, at the age of sixty-four." His grave still exists at a small cemetery not far from the church Ss. Peter and Paul at Nikolskoe near Peacock Island and is also the final resting place of his wife and his in-laws:
 Here rest in God the Sandwich Islander Maitey, 1872, and his wife Dorothy Becker Maitey, 1889
 Here rest in God the animal keeper Becker and his wife. They are the in-laws of the Sandwich Islander Maitey
 Inscriptions on the cross at the grave

Maitey's son Eduard believed, that his father was a Hawaiian prince, which was doubted by Caesar von der Ahé who published articles about Maitey in 1930 and 1933. Von der Ahé mentioned the name Kaparena as probably Maitey's Hawaiian name, but there are no such records in the Prussian documents. He also referred to files of the former Prussian court when he wrote, that Maitey's father was a soldier in Hawai‘i.

It is unknown, if Maitey's widow or Eduard had the chance to see King Kalākaua during his visit in Berlin and Potsdam in August, 1881. However, Eduard served as an actuary in Angermünde for some time before he returned to Potsdam for the rest of his life.

Cultural characteristics

Maitey likely understood his relationship to the President of the Seehandlung Christian Rother as the usual adoption in Hawai‘i (hānai). This also explains the misunderstandings in the years 1829 and 1830, when Maitey hoped in vain to return to Rother's household.

A newspaper report from 1824 shows that Maitey performed a hula in Berlin, which can be identified as a hula noho:

Johann Gottfried Schadow who was strongly interested in physiognomy drew Maitey in 1824 and noted about his appearance:

Early life
Mills Olcott Burnham was born September 8, 1817, in Thetford, Vermont, the son of Timothy Burnham, and Catherine Young.  He was raised in Troy, New York, and served an apprenticeship in the Watervliet Government Arsenal, learning gunsmithing.

He moved to Florida for health reasons in 1837, and brought his wife and two children in August 1839. They originally settled in Garey's Ferry, near Jacksonville.

With the Armed Occupation Act, he filed a claim to settle in the area now known as Ankona, just south of present-day Fort Pierce, which was then called Susanna. He introduced pineapple cultivation, which would later prove to be a significant crop for the area.

He was the first sheriff of what was then St. Lucia County in 1847.

In order to supplement his income, he purchased a schooner, which he named "The Josephine" which he used to become a commercial fisherman. He harvested green sea turtles, and sold them in Charleston. He took good care of his cargo during shipping, and developed a reputation for quality goods. Burnham also raised sheep.

Political career
Burnham was a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 1847 to 1851.

Florida settler at Canaveral
After hostilities with natives, in August 1849, the Burnham's and most of the other settlers left the colony and fled to safety in St. Augustine. He and his family which now included three more daughters, moved to Canaveral, in 1853. He was the keeper of the Cape Canaveral Light for 30 years beginning in 1853.

Mills died on April 17, 1886, at age 68.

title: James Machon (skier)

text:
James Machon (born 23 November 1990) is a freestyle skier who competes in the halfpipe, his first Olympics was the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Biography
Machon was born on 23 November 1990, in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. He was schooled at Bamford Primary School, and went to Leeds Metropolitan University. He started skiing at the age of 6. Between the age of 6 and until he was 14, went on annual ski holidays with his family. He began practising freestyle skiing in the Sheffield freestyle skiing park when he was 15 years old. Half-pipe skiing is snow ski on a half-pipe. The sport is considered to be dangerous compared to other sports, and helmets are required to be worn during competitions.

In 2006 Machon entered his first British Championships, and in the period from 2009 to 2013 (inclusive), Machon won four consecutive British Halfpipe Championships. At the start of the Olympic qualifying season, Machon was ranked in the top 15 by the Association of Freeskiing Professionals, a position he feels is his "greatest sporting achievement so far". Shortly before the selection for the 2014 Winter Olympics, Machon was recovering from a severe knee injury, he had a tear in his anterior cruciate ligament, which kept him from competing for eight months; it was torn in training in Austria. Machon said that his competing after he tore his ligament was "looking virtually impossible", but he was happy he overcame the injury.

title: Nancy Drew: The Shattered Medallion

text:
The Shattered Medallion is the 30th installment in the Nancy Drew point-and-click adventure game series by Her Interactive. The game is available for play on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms. It has an ESRB rating of E for moments of mild violence. Players take on the first-person view of fictional amateur sleuth Nancy Drew and must solve the mystery through interrogation of suspects, solving puzzles, and discovering clues. There are two levels of gameplay, Amateur and Master sleuth modes, each offering a different difficulty level of puzzles and hints, however neither of these changes affect the actual plot of the game. The game is loosely based on a book entitled Real Fake (2007).

Plot
Nancy Drew and her friend George Fayne end up winning a spot on a reality television show in New Zealand called Pacific Run, in which the contestants complete physical challenges to get five pieces of a medallion. The eccentric Sonny Joon has hijacked production of the show, which is spiraling out of control as certain contestants are being favored and dangerous missions are being assigned. While competing in a challenge, George is seriously injured and Nancy's other friend Bess Marvin must step in to take her place. Nancy, George, and Bess must investigate the incident that caused George's injury as well as why Sonny took charge of the show and what he really plans to do with it.

Development

Characters
Nancy Drew (Lani Minella) – Nancy is an 18-year-old amateur detective from the fictional town of River Heights in the United States. She is the only playable character in the game, which means the player must solve the mystery from her perspective.

Bess Marvin (Jennifer Pratt) – Nancy's feminine, laid back best friend and George's cousin. Although she is not officially on Team Tui as a contestant, she has come along to support and encourage Nancy and George on this adventure.
Kiri Nind (Shiromi Arserio) – Team Tawaki's Kiri Nind is an intense competitor, but she seems to be an old pro when it comes to reality television. She has a reputation for being brutal, but she does seem to understand that the competition is just a game. Off camera she seems nice and may be willing to forge an alliance with Nancy.
Patrick Dowsett (Beau Prichard) – This former rugby star player has the athletic ability to bring his team to an easy victory, but his head is not in the game.
Leena Patel (Kira Lauren) – Leena Patel, the other member of Team Kea, is a bossy overachiever.  She is smart and skilled in solving puzzles, and is a stickler for the rules.

Luis J. Montaner is a researcher at The Wistar Institute in Philadelphia. His main research focus is the HIV-1 virus and how new immune therapies can strengthen the immune system and offer better treatment options for infected patients.

Montaner's laboratory has made several discoveries concerning potential HIV and AIDS treatments. In 2012, his laboratory reported that the AIDS virus could be suppressed by boosting the immune system, thereby reducing patients' reliance on existing antiviral drugs. In 2014, it was announced that the AIDS service organization Philadelphia FIGHT has partnered with the Wistar Institute on the largest clinical trial to date that would use interferon to strengthen the immune system in patients infected with the HIV-1 virus. The clinical trial is supported by a four-year, $6.2 million grant.
