title: Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood

text:
Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood is the third installment of the Love & Hip Hop reality television franchise. It premiered on September 15, 2014 on VH1 and chronicles the lives of several people in the Hollywood area, involved with hip hop music. The show features appearances from notable figures associated with West Coast hip hop.

On July 8, 2019, VH1 announced the show's return for a sixth season, which premiered on August 5, 2019. On May 11, 2020, VH1 announced that production on any future seasons would be postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The show never returned, and after a series of crossover specials and spin-offs, several Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood cast members were transferred to Love & Hip Hop: Miami from August 23, 2021.

Development
Rumors of a Los Angeles-based spin-off of Love & Hip Hop began circulating in September 2013. In an interview, creator Mona Scott Young confirmed that the concept was being considered, along with possible spin-offs in Houston and New Orleans, saying “we’ve been looking in a few cities. It’s feeling like we’ll land in L.A., we’ve got some great stories to tell in L.A.” On October 11, 2013, it was reported that producers had approached Tyga, Blac Chyna, Karrueche Tran, LoLa Monroe, Bow Wow's ex-girlfriend Miss Joie and Christina Milian's boyfriend Jas Prince to star in Love & Hip Hop: L.A. Ray J was also offered to star, as both lead and co-producer, with his protege Yung Berg and love interests Teairra Marí and Princess Love rounding out the cast. Cassie was offered a supporting role. On October 15, 2013, Tran reportedly backed out of the show at her (then) boyfriend Chris Brown's insistence, after hearing that producers were in talks with Brown's ex Jasmine Sanders to join the cast, tweeting "Definitely not going to be on Love & Hip Hop LA lol". On January 10, 2014, it was reported that producers were having difficulties finalising casting, after Ray J's contractional obligations to Bad Girls All-Star Battle lead to some complications. The cast around this time reportedly included publicist-turned-rapper Hazel-E, Brooke Valentine, radio DJ Yesi Ortiz and video vixen Bria Myles. On March 31, 2014, the series began filming, with Ray, Teairra, Love, Berg, Joie, Ortiz, Ray's assistant Morgan Hardman, Omarion and his girlfriend Apryl Jones confirmed as part of the cast. On August 6, 2014, it was announced that Soulja Boy had joined the show. In interviews in 2017, Berg revealed he had filmed scenes with Joie as a couple, before Joie was fired three months into taping. Berg was then weaved into a storyline with Hazel-E, a relationship he claims was contrived for television.

On August 18, 2014, VH1 announced Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood would make its series premiere on September 15, 2014.

Series synopsis

Overview and casting

Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood revolves around the personal and professional struggles of several R&B artists and rappers in Los Angeles' music scene. The series is notable for its high profile cast, with the youngest and most established group of cast members in the franchise thus far. It has a sprawling supporting cast, who (in most cases) share the same amount of screen time and storyline focus as the show's leads.

The original cast consisted of Ray J, Soulja Boy, Omarion and his girlfriend Apryl Jones, Lil' Fizz and his ex-girlfriend Moniece Slaughter, Teairra Marí and former celebrity publicist Hazel-E, with Ray's assistant Morgan Hardman, Teddy Riley's daughter Nia Riley, Fizz's girlfriend Amanda Secor, Yung Berg, radio personality Yesi Ortiz, club promoter Sincere Show, socialite Nikki Mudarris and video vixen Masika Kalysha as supporting cast members. Although not mentioned in the initial cast announcement, Omarion's mother Leslie Burrell would also appear as a supporting cast member.

On November 5, 2014, Yung Berg was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend and fellow cast member Masika, several hours after the taping of the reunion special. VH1 released a statement that he had been terminated from the show effective immediately. On December 8, 2014, series creator Mona Scott-Young expressed regret for the firing, saying it was a network decision. The two-part reunion aired with a public service announcement about domestic violence, along with a statement by VH1 condemning Berg's actions.

All main cast members from the previous season returned for a second season. Ray J's girlfriend Princess Love joined the supporting cast, along with long time Love & Hip Hop: New York cast member Rich Dollaz, aspiring rappers Miles Brock and Milan Christopher, Miles' ex-girlfriend Amber Laura, Ray J's best friend Brandi Boyd, her husband Max Lux, Willie Taylor and his wife Shanda Denyce. Soulja's fling Nastassia Smith, Fizz's girlfriend Kamiah Adams, gossip blogger Jason Lee and Moniece's mother Marla Thomas would appear in minor supporting roles. Miles and Milan were the first openly gay couple of the franchise and several episodes featured public service announcements aimed to help viewers struggling with their sexual identity.

On September 16, 2015, during filming, Hazel-E announced on social media that she had quit the series, comparing it to a "freak show". Hazel had become increasingly frustrated that she had not been properly credited for her work behind-the-scenes, including her influence on casting, as well as her idea for the show title Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood instead of the original Love & Hip Hop: L.A..  Apryl and Omarion did not attend the taping of the second season reunion as Omarion was on tour. On December 7, 2015, Apryl confirmed the two had quit the show and would not be returning next season.

This third season saw the promotion of long time supporting cast members Nikki Mudarris and Princess Love to the main cast, as well as the return and promotion of Masika Kalysha to main cast after a season's absence. Record producer Floyd "A1" Bentley, his wife Lyrica Anderson, Lyrica's mother Lyrica Garrett, A1's mother Pam Bentley, Nicki Minaj's ex Safaree Samuels and fitness model Rosa Acosta joined the supporting cast. Ray J's mother Sonja Norwood and Willie's alleged mistress Kyesha Shalina would appear in minor supporting roles. Former main cast member Hazel E would return late into the season in a supporting role.

On August 19, 2016, Soulja Boy posted a video of himself on social media, brandishing a gun and threatening to kill Nia Riley and her alleged new boyfriend. From the third episode "For the Love of Money" onwards, Soulja was removed from the opening credits and had nearly all of his scenes deleted, essentially being reduced to a background extra on the two remaining episodes he did appear. On October 4, 2016, Soulja posted "I've decided to quit Love & Hip Hop. I feel my brand is too big for the show now. It's too ratchet." Series creator Mona Scott-Young responded by reposting a meme with the caption "If I ever get fired, I'm gone (sic) tell people I quit to protect my brand".

On March 17, 2017, singer Keyshia Cole revealed that she had joined the cast for its fourth season, along with her estranged ex-husband Daniel "Booby" Gibson. This season saw the promotion of Lyrica Anderson and Safaree Samuels to the main cast, as well as the return of Hazel E  after a season's absence. Lil Fizz and Masika Kalysha were demoted to supporting cast members, with Kalysha's demotion being a controversial and allegedly last minute decision, due to her refusal to film with or even discuss longtime rival Alexis Skyy on camera. The season revealed scenes of Kalysha breaking the fourth wall several times to express her displeasure with producers, as well as threatening legal action and storming off set. Brooke Valentine, Gibson, songwriter Marcus Black, stylist Zell Swag, Moniece's girlfriend A.D. Diggs and Fetty Wap's ex Alexis Skyy would all join the supporting cast, along with Chanel West Coast, producer Solo Lucci and Bridget Kelly. Love & Hip Hop: New York cast members Cisco Rosado and Jade Wifey, College Hill star Misster Ray, Alexandra Shipp's brother James Shipp Jr. and A.D.'s friend Tiffany Campbell would also appear in supporting roles.

During the season's reunion special, Safaree announced that he was leaving the show to join the cast of Love & Hip Hop: New York. On October 20, 2017, after sparking violent feuds with nearly every member of the cast and causing controversy for making a series of anti-gay and colorist posts on social media, it was reported that Hazel had been fired from the show. On February 7, 2018, it was reported that Keyshia Cole had quit the show, along with Masika Kalysha.

Season five saw the promotion of A1 and Brooke Valentine to the main cast after appearing previously as supporting cast members, as well as the return of K. Michelle to the franchise, who previously appeared on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop: New York and the spin-off K. Michelle: My Life. New cast members include video vixen Apple Watts, singer La'Britney, K. Michelle: My Lifes Paris Phillips, Grammy Award-nominated producer RoccStar, manager Shun Love, model Amber Diamond, bisexual rapper and drag performer JayWill, media personality Donatella and Apple's father John Watts.

On October 24, 2018, it was reported that Eastern TV had been fired as a production company for the show, with Big Fish Entertainment taking their place, and there would be a major cast retooling for season six, with more of an focus on "actual couples and big names". Brooke Valentine would leave the series after deciding to take a break after the birth of her child, while Moniece Slaughter would return as a supporting cast member, with Moniece announcing on social media that the season would be her last. Teairra Marí and Nikki Mudarris would also return late into the season in supporting roles. On July 8, 2019, VH1 confirmed the return of Apryl Jones and Fizz to the main cast, along with the addition of Yo-Yo, with new supporting cast members Micky Munday, J-Boog, Brittany B. and Akon's wife Tricia Ana.

The show never returned after the COVID-19 pandemic, instead Ray J and Princess were transferred to the cast of Love & Hip Hop: Miami to continue their storylines.

Note:

Storylines
Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood chronicles the professional and romantic struggles of women and men in the hip hop industry, as well as the intense and violent rivalries between them. Over the seasons, the show has explored addiction, substance abuse and mental illness.

Many female cast members identify as bisexual, lesbian or sexually fluid, and the show is one of the few television shows to explore LGBT issues from a black perspective. Homophobia in the hip hop world is explored in greater depth in the second season when openly gay rappers Milan and Miles join the cast.

Reception

Critical response
Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood has largely escaped the controversy and criticism that has plagued the franchise since its inception. Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called this incarnation a "great soap opera, but has little to do with modern music-making". Writer Michael Arceneaux praised the show for its portrayal of LGBT issues, and in 2018 for being the only show in the franchise to continue to provide "a ratchet good time".

Scripting allegations
Love & Hip Hop is often criticized for appearing to fabricate much of its storyline. Scott-Young has denied those claims: “I can’t stress enough that the stuff they deal with on (Love & Hip Hop) is real. We may frame it within a production construct that allows us to shoot on a schedule, but we’re not making up the stuff that they’re going through.”

Ratings
The Love & Hip Hop franchise is one of the highest-rated franchises in cable television history. In an overview of the television cultural divide, The New York Times reported that Love & Hip Hop was most popular show in the black belt.

The second series premiere garnered big ratings for the network, with VH1 announcing a combined rating of 3.6 million viewers.

Cultural impact
During a speech at a campaign rally in North Carolina on November 4, 2016, President Barack Obama referenced the show, comparing the 2016 presidential race to reality television, saying "I mean, its like some Love & Hip Hop stuff."

title: Rubi (footballer)

text:
Joan Francesc Ferrer Sicilia (born 1 January 1970), commonly known as Rubi, is a Spanish former footballer who played as a winger, currently a manager.

After a playing career spent no higher than Segunda División B, he embarked on a managerial career of over two decades, leading Levante, Sporting de Gijón, Espanyol, Betis and Almería in La Liga.

Playing career
Born in Vilassar de Mar, Barcelona, Catalonia, Rubi never competed in higher than Segunda División B during a ten-year senior career. He started out at local club UE Vilassar de Mar, in 1989.

Rubi appeared in the promotion playoffs to Segunda División with both AEC Manlleu and Terrassa FC, falling short on both occasions. Whilst with the former, he scored in a 3–3 away draw against Extremadura CF on 29 May 1994, but the team eventually finished in second position in their group.

Coaching career
Rubi began working as a coach with Vilassar de Mar, and subsequently was in charge of several Tercera División sides in his native region. With CE L'Hospitalet, he lost the 2004 promotion play-off final on penalties to Atlético Levante UD. His first experience in the third division was at CE Sabadell FC, being dismissed on 2 March 2005 while two points inside the relegation zone; he was promoted to that level with RCD Espanyol B, a year later.

After a short stint with UD Ibiza-Eivissa, Rubi was appointed at Benidorm CF. He left the club in the end of the campaign, after achieving a sixth-place finish in the third tier.

On 8 June 2012, Rubi signed with Girona FC after having been part of the staff in previous years. He took the team to the best season of their history, leading them to the fourth position in division two and being eventually knocked out in the play-offs.

Rubi left Girona and joined FC Barcelona on 28 June 2013, being added to Tito Vilanova's staff. On 3 June of the following year, he replaced dismissed Juan Ignacio Martínez at the helm of Real Valladolid.

After failing to win promotion to La Liga in 2015 Segunda División play-offs Rubi was replaced by Gaizka Garitano on 6 July 2015. On 28 October, he was appointed manager of Levante UD, taking over from the sacked Lucas Alcaraz. On his debut three days later, the team lost 3–0 at city rivals Valencia CF. He only managed to collect seven wins until the end of the season, the side returned to the second tier after a six-year stay and he was relieved of his duties on 26 May 2016.

Rubi took over at Sporting de Gijón on 18 January 2017, in the place of Abelardo. In June, following their relegation, he was hired at SD Huesca.

On 25 May 2018, after leading the Aragonese side to their first-ever promotion to the first division, Rubi announced he would leave the club at the end of the campaign. He returned to Espanyol on 3 June, being appointed manager of the first team also in the top flight.

On 6 June 2019, Rubi left Espanyol after paying his release clause, and was appointed Real Betis manager just hours later. He was dismissed on 21 June of the following year, with the club eight points above the relegation zone with as many games left to play.

Rubi signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with UD Almería on 28 April 2021, replacing José Gomes even though the team was placed third with six matches to go. He won the league in his first full season, thus returning to the top tier after seven years.

Almería survived on the final day of the 2022–23 campaign with a 3–3 draw at already relegated Espanyol, putting another of Rubi's former teams in Valladolid into the second division at their expense. He subsequently left at the end of his contract.

title: CCDC40 (gene)

text:
CCDC40 is the gene in humans that encodes the protein named coiled-coil domain containing 40.

Function
This gene encodes a protein that is necessary for motile cilia function. It functions in correct left-right axis formation by regulating the assembly of the inner dynein arm and the dynein regulatory complexes, which control ciliary beat. Mutations in this gene cause ciliary dyskinesia type 15, a disorder due to defects in cilia motility. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011].

title: Al Darby

text:
Alvis Russell Darby (born September 14, 1954) is an American former college and professional football player who was a tight end for two seasons in the National Football League (NFL).  Darby played college football for the University of Florida, and was chosen by the Seattle Seahawks in the sixth round of the 1976 NFL Draft.  He also played professionally for the NFL's Houston Oilers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Early years
Darby was born in Miami, Florida.  He attended Miami Edison High School, and played high school football for the Miami Edison Red Raiders.  In the 1970 Florida Class AA state championship game, he had a 62-yard touchdown reception, contributing to the Edison Red Raiders' 42–22 victory over Fort Pierce Central.

College career
Darby accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Doug Dickey's Florida Gators football team from 1973 to 1975.  He played in 35 games for the Gators, starting as a tight end as a sophomore and senior, but filling the wide receiver's slot as a junior.  On a Gators team that emphasized Doug Dickey's running game and option over the passing the game, Darby compiled 314 yards and four touchdowns on 22 receptions, with an average of 14.3 yards per catch.  During his three seasons as a Gator, the team appeared in three consecutive post-season bowl games for the first time in its history.  Memorably, he had a 32-yard reception in the 1974 Sugar Bowl.

Professional career
The NFL expansion Seattle Seahawks franchise chose Darby in the sixth round, with the 157th overall pick, of the 1976 NFL Draft.  During his 1976 rookie season, he appeared in one game for the Seahawks and two more for the Houston Oilers.  He did not play during the 1977 NFL season, but appeared in six games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1978.

The POlarization Emission of Millimeter Activity at the Sun (POEMAS) is a solar patrol system composed of two radio telescopes with superheterodyne circular polarization receivers at 45 and 90 GHz. Since their half power beam width is around 1.4°, they observe the full sun. The acquisition system allows to gather 100 values per second at both frequencies and polarizations, with a sensitivity of around 20 solar flux units (SFU) (1 SFU ≡ 104 Jy). The telescope saw first light in November 2011, and showed excellent performance during two years, when it observed many flares. Since November 2013 is stopped for repairing. The main interest of POEMAS is the observation of solar flares in a frequency range where there are very few detectors and fill the gap between microwaves observed with the Radio Solar Telescope Network (1 to 15.4 GHz) and submillimeter observations of the Solar Submillimeter Telescope (212 and 405 GHz). Moreover, POEMAS is the only current telescope capable of carrying on circular polarization solar flare observations at 90 GHz. (Although, in principle, ALMA band 3 may also observe at 90 GHz with circular polarization).

Science

POEMAS was designed to fill the gap between microwaves and submillimeter (less than 1 mm) wavelength observations of the solar activity. There are a number of different instruments around the world that monitors the sun at microwaves. The Nobeyama Radio Heliograph (NoRH) (Nobeyama, Japan) makes daily maps at 17 GHz (1.7 cm) with circular left and right polarizations and 34 GHz (8.8 mm), total intensity.  The Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters (NoRP), (Nobeyama, Japan) is a set of patrol telescopes with receivers from 1 GHz (λ≈30 cm) to 80 GHz (λ≈3.7 mm) at selected frequencies and circular polarization detection (except at 80 GHz) with full sun disk spatial resolution. The Radio Solar Telescope Network (RSTN) is worldwide network of telescopes with receivers at selected bands from few hundred MHz (λ≈75 cm) to 15.4 GHz (λ≈2 cm). At the other end of the band, the  Solar Submillimeter Telescope (SST) installed at Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito in San Juan Province, Argentina observes the sun at 212 GHz (λ≈1.4 mm) and 405 GHz (λ≈0.7 mm).  Since there is no observational time overlap between Japan and Argentina, the NoRH and NoRP cannot be used together with SST, and only data from some RSTN observatories have times in common with the SST.

The relevance of observing at 45 and 90 GHz comes from the necessity to determine the upturn frequency in the so-called THz events: if the main radiation mechanism is synchrotron radiation from accelerated electrons emitting at chromospheric or coronal heights, it is expected a spectrum with a long and descending logarithmic tail towards millimeter wavelengths.  In some cases this classical (textbook) shape is broken and an upturn or spectral reversion is observed. Since the reversion or upturn frequency has been estimated around 50 to 100 GHz for the observed cases, the importance of POEMAS is justified.

title: MAB21L2

text:
Mab-21-like 2 (C. elegans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAB21L2 gene.

Function

This gene is similar to the C. elegans MAB-21 cell fate-determining gene, a downstream target of transforming growth factor-beta signaling. It is thought that this gene may be involved in neural development. The protein encoded by this gene is primarily nuclear, although some cytoplasmic localization has been observed.

title: The Star Maker (1939 film)

text:
The Star Maker is a 1939 American musical film directed by Roy Del Ruth, written by Frank Butler, Don Hartman and Arthur Caesar, and starring Bing Crosby, Louise Campbell, Linda Ware, Ned Sparks, Laura Hope Crews, Janet Waldo and Walter Damrosch. Filming started in Hollywood on April 17, 1939 and was finished in June. The film was released on August 25, 1939, by Paramount Pictures, and had its New York premiere on August 30, 1939. It was the only film in which Crosby played a happily married man.

Plot
Loosely based on the life of vaudevillian Gus Edwards, the film follows the career of aspiring song writer Larry Earl (Crosby) who gives up his job as a night clerk and marries Mary (Louise Campbell). He is anxious to get his songs published and buys a piano which they can ill afford. He sees children performing in the street and has an idea to develop and produce their talent on stage. Initially he cannot obtain any bookings but Mary persuades an agent to give her husband a chance. The one night try-out is a success and he forms "Larry Earl Kiddie Productions" which in due course has 14 productions running in various towns. Larry Earl opens a Broadway musical called School Days, the crowning point of his career, but halfway through the first performance it is closed down by the Children's Welfare Society as they will not allow children under 12 years of age to work past 10 p.m. All of Earl's productions have to be closed down too. Earl had developed the career of Jane Gray (Linda Ware) and he transfers her contract to Walter Damrosch and she performs for him at Carnegie Hall. Later Earl realizes that he can still use children on radio and the film closes with him singing with a children's chorus on a radio show.

Reception
Frank S. Nugent of The New York Times was not impressed. The Star Maker,' the new Bing Crosby film at the Paramount, was inspired (to employ a euphemism) by the career of Gus Edwards, a show-minded Pied Piper who used to swing around the old vaudeville circuits followed by precocious little song and dance teams — the girls in sunbonnets, the boys in newsies' tatters — who grew up, or at least some of them did, to become Walter Winchell, George Jessel, Eddie Cantor and Mervyn LeRoy...There isn't much more to the picture. Mr. Crosby sings in his usual lullaby manner and hasn't many good lines to play with. Ned Sparks sneaks away with a comic scene or two as the child-hating press agent who has to tell bedtime stories and spins a grim whopper about the mean old wolf who gobbled up the little kiddies... But it is all, if Mr. Edwards will pardon us, too much like a Gus Edwards revue and far too much of that."

Variety was far more positive. "Film is first-class entertainment, a lively combination of the conventional backstage story, which is played for comedy angles, and filmusical technique, that is up to best standards...Audiences will quickly and cheerfully respond to the gayety [sic] which pervades the film. ... It's the Gus Edwards repertoire of pop tunes which gives the film zest and the feeling that yesterday is worth remembering. 'School Days' is recreated in an elaborate production number, including an interpolation when Crosby, speaking directly from the screen to the film audience, invites and obtains a spirited if somewhat vocally uncertain choral participation."

title: Hardwick Clothes

text:
Hardwick Clothes is an American clothing manufacturer headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee specializing in tailor-made suits for men and women. Founded on July 28, 1880, Hardwick Clothes is the oldest maker of tailored clothing in America, and the second-oldest company in Bradley County, Tennessee.

History

Hardwick Clothes is the oldest tailor-made clothing maker in the United States. The company started as Cleveland Woolen Mills, founded in 1880 in Cleveland, Tennessee, by C. L. Hardwick, John Craigmiles, John Parker, P.B. Mayfield and Creed Bates. Hardwick put his son George in charge of the clothing company, while his son Joseph ran the family's other company, Hardwick Stove.
The company achieved early success from weaving "jean cloth," a blend (76% wool, 24% cotton) that was crafted into a popular product known as "Dollar Pants."

Over the years, the company added modern machinery, and eventually Cleveland Woolen Mills evolved into a manufacturing plant, as well as a mill. In 1925, the name was changed to Hardwick Woolen Mills.
By the 1920s Hardwick Woolen Mills had expanded its operations, weaving the wool yarn and tailoring finished garments in the same factory. The integrated operation reflected the company motto: "From the sheep's back to the clothing rack." Among the many garments produced were men's suits, overcoats, knickers and boys' wear.

Hardwick Mills survived the Great Depression as a cottage industry, with much of the sewing done in the homes of workers. Despite the poor economy, Hardwick Mills continued to grow during the 1930s. After the New Deal introduced labor laws regulating working hours, production moved back into the factory.

For the first half of the 20th century, Hardwick Mills was one of the largest manufacturers of wool fabric and men's clothing in the world. During World War II, Hardwick Mills manufactured  uniforms for the military. After the war, the demand for wool decreased with the introduction of synthetic fabrics.

In the 1950s, Hardwick Mills sold its woolen operations to focus on the men's tailored clothing market. During this time, the company rebranded itself as Hardwick Clothes, Inc. The company also ended its status as a private label and, for the first time, began to advertise. Hardwick soon became a leader in the market for blazers, boasting one of the largest in-stock blazer programs in the industry.

In 1974, Hardwick Clothes moved from its original factory on Church Street to a modern 175,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing plant on the north side of Cleveland. The new facility allowed the company to modernize its equipment to remain competitive against overseas competition.

In the 21st century Hardwick expanded its base of specialty-store retailers with catalog and department store accounts. Its domestic clothing production has enabled the company to land contracts with organizations as diverse as the U.S. military and Major League Baseball umpires.

In 2001, the old Hardwick Woolen Mills factory was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Recent history
In 2013, due to the struggling economy, Hardwick Clothes faced problems with creditors and an underfunded pension plan that covers more than 600 employees and retirees. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation had demanded a payment of more than $7 million that coincided with the company's discontinuation of its pension plan due to a slowing of the marketplace. The payment was expected within days after the notice was received by Hardwick, causing the company to file for bankruptcy protection.

In March 2014, Cleveland businessman W. Allan Jones made a $1.9 million offer to purchase the company, and on June 19, 2014, the sale was completed. Jones owns a number of consumer financial services companies, such as Check Into Cash, Loan by Phone, U.S. Money Shops, Buy Here Pay Here USA, and LendingFrog.com.

Upon completion of the sale, Jones told the media, "Since that first day, the company has survived two major fires, two World Wars, the Great Depression, leisure suits, NAFTA and – worst of all – making us watch China manufacture our Olympic team's blazers." Jones also launched a new website for the company—Hardwick.com.

In July 2014, Bruce Bellusci was named the new CEO/President, becoming the ninth CEO/President of Hardwick Clothes in the company's history. Bellusci worked at Hart Schaffner Marx for 34 years, serving as executive vice president since 2006. Bellusci made several notable hires within his first few months, including several salesmen and the VP of Technical Design, Jeffery Diduch, from the Hart Schaffner Marx organization.  Diduch now serves as Hardwick Clothes Chief Creative Officer where he oversees all design, technical development, and creative direction for the brand.  The company also announced it will be flying over its factory the original 38-star American flag from 1880, the year it was founded.

Jones told the media in 2015 that he would help the stable southern workforce at Hardwick to reach new levels of productivity by purchasing state-of-the-art German and Italian automation technology. Jones said the addition of the technology would make Hardwick the most modern sewing operation of its kind in the United States.

On December 15, 2019, Puerto Rican Industries for the Blind acquired Hardwick Clothes.

title: Croatian Ecuadorians

text:
Croatian Ecuadorians are Ecuadorians who are descended from migrants from Croatia. There are approximately 4,000 Croats and their descendants living in Ecuador. One can mention two major periods of the immigration of Croats to Ecuador; the first one at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century and the recent that started in the 1990s.  During the first period, Croat immigrants were moistly traders from Dubrovnik, Split and the island of Vis who settled in agricultural parts of Ecuador, especially in the region of Manabí, and in the cities such Bahía de Caráquez, Chone, Manta, Portoviejo and Guayaquil, Cuenca and Quito.
The current immigration of Croats began with their arrival in Ecuador and was largely motivated by the interest in the fish industry and the exploration of marine crustaceans.  Most of these new immigrants come from the Adriatic coast, especially from Split, and are employed in the tuna and sardines processing industry. Ecuadorian Croats and their descendants have a high cultural and economic status in the society and are quite prominent, particularly in the agricultural and fishing fields, as well as in commerce and industry.
Ecuador has a large fleet of ships for banana transportation; also fish and merchant vessels whose crew is also made up of Croats living in Guayaquil. They are, however, not registered as Croatian immigrants.
In 2004 an association was established in Ecuador where Croats and their descendants often congregate.

title: Acts 1

text:
Acts 1 is the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book containing this chapter is anonymous but early Christian tradition affirmed that Luke composed this book as well as the Gospel of Luke. This chapter functions as a transition from the "former account" (that is, Gospel of Luke) with a narrative prelude (verses 1–5), repeated record of the ascension of Jesus Christ with more detail (verses 6–11) and the meeting of Jesus' followers (verses 12-26), until before Pentecost.

Text

The original text was written in Koine Greek and is divided into 26 verses.

Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
 Codex Vaticanus (AD 325–350)
 Codex Sinaiticus (330–360)
 Codex Bezae (~400)
 Codex Alexandrinus (400–440)
 Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (~450; extant verses 3–26)
 Papyrus 56 (5th/6th century)
 Codex Laudianus (~550)

 : Psalm ; Psalm 109:8

New Testament references

Locations

This chapter mentions the following places:
 Bethany
 Jerusalem
 Judea
 Mount of Olives
 Samaria

Introduction (1:1–5)
The beginning of the book follows a conventional opening statement containing the name of the addressee, Theophilus, and a brief reminder of the content of the "former account" (Gospel of Luke) by the same author.

Verses 1–3
The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

 "Former account" (from Greek: ,  , lit. "first book"): refers to Gospel of Luke.
 "Theophilus" (written in Greek in vocative word form): the intended reader of this book, as well as the previous one (Luke 1:3), might be a "patron" who is already informed about "things which have been fulfilled among us", but still needs "assurance" to "know the certainty of those things" (Luke 1:1-4).

Ascension of Jesus (1:6–12)

This section records that forty days after the  resurrection, Jesus commands the disciples during a meal to await the coming of the Holy Spirit, then a cloud takes him upward from sight, and two men in white appear to tell them (the disciples) that he will return "in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

Verse 8

[Jesus says:] "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Before Jesus left, he charged the disciples with the task of acting as 'witnesses' to him, in the locations that can be read as a 'geographical program' for the whole book of Acts:
 The first 7 chapters set in Jerusalem
 Chapter 8—11 record the spread of the gospel to the surrounding areas within Syria-Palestine ('Judea and Samaria')
 Chapter 13 onwards following Paul's mission ever farther places.

Luke chapter 24 tells how Jesus leads the eleven disciples "as far as" Bethany, a village on the Mount of Olives, where he instructs them to remain in Jerusalem until the coming of the Holy Spirit: "And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy" ().

The Gospel of John has three references to ascension in Jesus' own words: "No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the son of man" (); "What if you (the disciples) were to see the son of man ascending where he was before?" (); and to Mary Magdalene after his resurrection, "Do not hold me, for I not yet ascended to my father..." (). Various epistles (, , , , 1 Timothy 3:16, and ) also refer to an ascension in relation to the post-resurrection "exaltation" of Jesus to the right hand of God. Gospel of Mark () contains the brief ascension account, but it is considered by a broad consensus among scholars to be a later addition to the original version of that gospel.

Verse 12

Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city.
"The hill called the Mount of Olives" (ESV: "the mount called Olivet"): This geographical site is mentioned by Luke alone in the narrative of Jesus' last entry into Jerusalem () and as a place to rest during Jesus' final ministry of teaching ().  names Bethany as the site of ascension, which is identified in  as a location at the Mount of Olives.
"A Sabbath day's walk" (Greek: ): 2000 cubits (= 5 furlongs), about 5/8 mile or about 1 kilometer, showing a proximity to Jerusalem (fulfilling Jesus' command in ), as well as portraying the disciples as faithful Jews (cf. ). The distance seems differ significantly with the Bethany in , but the ascension site, according to Lightfoot, "was from the place where that tract of the Mount of Olives ceased to be called Bethphage and began to be called Bethany", not inside the village (15 furlongs far in Gospel of John).

Election of Matthias (1:13–26)
As the disciples waited obediently in the upper room in Jerusalem for the promised coming of the Holy Spirit, they devoted themselves "with one accord" in prayer (verse 14), underlying the unity of the group which surprisingly now includes Jesus' mother, brothers, and some women.

Verse 13 lists the names of the apostles with some differences compared to the apostolic list in  (cf. ; ):
 Andrew was moved down from the second place to the fourth place after John
 Thomas was moved up from the eighth place to the sixth place following Philip
 Judas Iscariot is no longer listed.
The omission of Judas Iscariot motivates the narrative of his final fate and Peter's call to find his replacement. The process begins by Peter's appeal to the Scripture (verse 20), and the requirements for the candidate (verses 21–22). With this, Peter reinforces the identity of the group and exerts his de facto authority in the group.

Verse 14
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
"Mary the mother of Jesus": was mentioned by name for the first time in Luke-Acts since the infancy narrative in Luke 2.
"Brothers": or "brothers and sisters", translated from the plural Greek word adelphoi, which, depending on the context in New Testament usage, may refer either to "brothers" or to "brothers and sisters" (also verse 1:15 in some versions).

Verse 15
In those days Peter stood up among the disciples (the number of people together was about a hundred and twenty), and said,
"Stood up": from Greek: : adding a participle to a finite verb ("to stand") to indicate the posture or position of a speaker is a characteristic of Luke as this word is found in the Gospel of Luke 17 times, and in Acts 19 times, only twice in Matthew, six or seven times in Mark.

Verses 21–22
[Peter says:] "Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning ('arxamenos') from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness ('martyra') with us of His resurrection."

 "Went in and out": is a "Semitism or Septuagintalism" expression (cf. ), comparable to the English phrase "comings and goings".
 "Beginning" (Greek: , ): The "baptism" of John" to "that day when He was taken up from us" (ascension) mark the scope for the story of Jesus, with an emphasis on "His resurrection". In Acts 10, Luke notes Peter preaching the gospel using "precisely the same parameters"  also using  arxamenos ("began")  with the claim of being a witness (accusative Greek: , ; plural: martyres) specifically to the resurrection (Acts 10:36-42).
 [Peter preaches to Cornelius and his household:] "The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began ('arxamenos') from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. And we are witnesses ('martyres') of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins."

The apostles proceed by asking God as the only resource to 'indicate' his choice through the casting of lots (verse 26), which is a familiar mean to ascertain divine purpose in both the Graeco-Roman world and the Bible, to get Matthias "numbered with the eleven apostles" (verse 26).

Verse 26
 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
"Matthias": only mentioned in this chapter in the whole Bible, he was chosen by casting lots to be included as "the Twelve" (replacing Judas Iscariot) from then on.

title: Railway stations in Coimbatore

text:
Coimbatore or Kovai is a major city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is the second largest city and urban agglomeration in the state after Chennai and the sixteenth largest urban agglomeration in India. It is administered by the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation and is the administrative capital of Coimbatore district. It is one of the fastest growing tier-II cities in India and a major textile, industrial, commercial, educational, information technology, healthcare and manufacturing hub of Tamil Nadu. It is often referred to as the "Manchester of South India" due to its cotton production and textile industries.

Train service in Coimbatore started in 1861, upon construction of the Podanur–Madras line connecting Kerala and the west coast with the rest of India. Coimbatore lies on the Coimbatore–Shoranur  broad gauge railway line. Until 1956, the Coimbatore railway division was functioning with Podanur as its Headquarters. In 1956, the headquarters was shifted to Olavakkode, of Kerala , and was named Olavakkod railway division. In 1980, Olavakkod division was renamed Palakkad railway division.  It comprised Kerala and western districts of Tamil Nadu. Ultimately, a new Salem railway division was carved out of the Palakkad railway division in 2006 with Salem as its headquarters. The city falls under the Salem Division of the Southern Railway zone of Indian Railways. The major railway station is the  which is the second largest income generating station in the Southern Railway zone after Chennai Central and is amongst the top hundred booking stations of Indian Railways. Other major railway stations catering to the city include ,  and minor stations at Peelamedu, Singanallur, , Perianaikanpalayam, , Somanur, Sulur & Thudiyalur .

List of railway stations

Metrorail

Three metrorail routes have been proposed. Two circular routes, in the northern and southern parts of the city and a dual linear line connecting the Eastern and Western parts. The Northern Route starts from Gandhipuram via Ganapathy, Sivanandha colony, Saibaba colony, RS Puram, Townhall,  and ends in Gandhipuram. The second circular route starts from  via Trichy Road, Sungam, Redfields, Race Course, City railway station, Ukkadam and ends at Podanur. A linear line was also proposed from Chinniampalayam, Coimbatore International Airport, CODISSIA, PSG Tech, Lakshmi Mills, Gandhipuram, , Cowley Brown Road and TNAU. Recently Vadavalli and Thondamuthur are the two new areas that has been included in the linear line as part of the phase extension. In 2017,Tamil Nadu government announced that CMRL would prepare DPR and feasibility report for Coimbatore metro rail project and will be funded by German-based company.

Coimbatore suburban circular railway
Coimbatore suburban circular railway is a circular suburban railway planned for Coimbatore city. The circular railway line will help run through Coimbatore Junction, Podanur, Vellalore, Irugur, Singanallur, Peelamedu and Coimbatore North (see map). This will certainly help decongest the city roads. A senior official with the Salem division says if the revival of an old line can bring about so many benefits, it can be considered.

Coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost (2:1–43)

The biblical narrative of Pentecost is given in the second chapter of the Book of Acts. Present were about one hundred and twenty followers of Christ (Acts 1:15), including the Twelve Apostles (i.e. the eleven disciples and Matthias who had replaced Judas Iscariot), Jesus' mother Mary, various other women disciples and Jesus' brothers (Acts 1:14). Their reception of the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room and their empowerment to speak in tongues are recounted in Acts 2:1–6:

Verses 1–6

While those on whom the Spirit had descended were speaking in many languages, the Apostle Peter stood up with the eleven and proclaimed to the crowd that this event was the fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel (in Book of Joel 2:28–29): "…I will pour out my Spirit…". (Acts 2:17).

Verse 15

"The third hour of the day" (about 9:00 AM): Peter explains that it is only breakfast time.

Verses 16–21

The extended quotation from Joel 2:28–32 (LXX) is to support that this event is something predicted in Scripture, and it clarifies some points about the apostolic proclamation:
 The ecstatic speech is to be identified with the biblical gift of prophecy, as the work of the same Spirit of God.
 This is a phenomenon of 'the last days' (verse 17), but is a stage before the final 'day of the Lord' (verse 20).

Verses 22–24

Peter then turns to the question, "Who was Jesus?", appealing to many people in the audience who had witnessed the miracles performed by Jesus, as a divine attestation of his ministry in the midst of his people (verse 22). Jesus' death is the responsibility of three groups: (1) 'the immediate agency' ('lawless hands' or 'lawless men'); (2) 'the proximate motive force' (the local audience which had witnessed Jesus' ministry, verses 22–23); and behind both of those, 'the divine plan' (verse 24).
"Loosening" (KJV/NKJV: "having loosed"): or having "destroyed or abolished"
"Pull of death" (KJV/NKJV: "pains of death"): also in the sense of "birth pangs"

Verses 25–28
Verses 25 to 28 quote :

According to a Christian interpretation, verse 27 recalls the belief in the preservation of the mortal bodies of the saints, identified with the people whose souls weren't condemned to the Hell. The latter is referred with the Hebrew word Sheol.
It has also been seen as a prophecy of Jesus' Harrowing of Hell, while verse 26 would have predicted the final Resurrection of the flesh for which the "body also will rest in hope".

Furthermore, the paths of life of  recall the more well known Jesus self-definition as being "the way, the truth, the life" (, even using the same Greek words (respectively: hodous zōēs and hodos, alētheia, zōē)

Verses 32–36
Verses 34 and 35 quotes  to conclude saying:

Verse 38

"Remission": or "forgiveness"

Acts 2:41 then reports that about 3000 people were baptized and added to the number of believers.

Verse 41

It would take a long time to immerse all 3,000 people in a single public pool such as Pool of Siloam, so the apostles probably made use of many mikvehs around the Temple Mount. A "mikveh" is a stepped immersion pool used by Jews for purification, before prayer or worship, to become ritually clean. Archaeological excavations in Jerusalem (and other Jewish communities) have discovered hundreds of mikvehs from before, during, and after the time of Jesus.

The fact that many understood in their native language, what the Spirit was saying demonstrates that the first miracle the Holy Spirit carried out was the translation of the Gospel. This message is one that is communicating "God's deeds of power". Such miracle carries the undertone that the gospel, would be for a diverse group that for a long time had been divided. "Whereas in Babel humanity was divided by different tongues, in Pentecost that division was overcome."

Location of the First Pentecost

Traditional interpretation holds that the Descent of the Holy Spirit took place in the Upper Room, or Cenacle, on the day of Pentecost (Shavuot). The Upper Room was first mentioned in Luke 22:12–13. This Upper Room was to be the location of the Last Supper and the institution of Holy Communion. The other mention of an "upper room" is in Acts 1:13–14, the continuation of the Luke narrative, authored by the same biblical writer.

Here the disciples and women waited and they gave themselves up to constant prayer, until the arrival of the "wind" mentioned above.

A description of the first Church (2:44–47)
Acts 2:44–47 contains a description of the earliest church, giving a practical view of how the church members acted.  The verses cover several aspects of life:
 The believers held everything in common
 They sold property and possessions so as to give to anyone who was in need
 They met together in the temple courts each day
 They ate together in each other's homes.

title: Giacomo Bufarini

text:
Known as RUN, Giacomo Bufarini is a London based Italian artist whose works can be seen adorning streets from China to Senegal. His recognisable style shows a level of detail and complexity rarely seen in street art today, evidenced through his vivid rendering of interlocking bodies in symbolic poses, pattern like, friezes in bright, arresting colours.

Overview
Giacomo Bufarini (aka RUN) is interested in street art as a language of communication, creating playful characters that speak to diverse audiences on multiple levels. The expansive scale of his works captivates the viewer, affecting a renaissance of muralism that reaches beyond the boundaries of street art.

He started graffiti painting on lorries, trains and walls when he was very young and his first big wall painting was in 2003. His inspiration comes from freedom, originality and quality.
RUN’s name is inspired by a Cypress Hill song and for him it is like having a tattoo when you are young, which does not necessarily have a deep meaning, but stays on your skin forever.

Exhibitions
In May 2013, Giacomo Bufarini (aka RUN) exhibited at the Dulwich Festival.

RUN's first solo exhibition has been held at Howard Griffin Gallery, Shoreditch, London from November 2014 till the beginning of February 2015. “Parabola Di G” is a semi-autobiographical story told through a unique series of highly detailed pen and ink drawings that collectively make up a book. The imagery follows the journey of a semi-fictional character, G, as he falls through levels of reality into a dreamscape.

In September 2014, RUN opened his second solo show entitled 'Man is God' at Howard Griffin Gallery, Los Angeles.

Murals
In June 2013, RUN painted on the Village Underground wall in Shoreditch, London

RUN's latest addition to London's neighbourhood of Clapton is a mural in Lower Clapton, painted along with Mexican artist Pablo Delgado.

In February 2014, RUN teamed up with Sheffield-based artist Phlegm and Christiaan Nagel on a mission to give final moments of vivacious life to yet another to be demolished building in London - the Blithehale Medical Centre in Bethnal Green.

title: Pierre Carrier-Belleuse

text:
Pierre-Gérard Carrier-Belleuse (28 January 1851 in Paris – 29 January 1932 in Paris) was a French painter.

Biography
His first studies were with his father, the sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse. Later he studied with Alexandre Cabanel and Pierre Victor Galland at the École des Beaux-Arts.

He exhibited at the Salon in 1875 and won a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle (1889). He also produced drawings and lithographs for Le Figaro Illustré.

Best known for his ballet scenes and pastels, he also did landscapes, portraits and genre works. Most of his paintings are in private collections.

Between 1914 and 1916, he and  proposed, planned and supervised the creation of the Panthéon de la Guerre, which was the world's largest painting (45 ft. high and 402 ft. in circumference) containing almost 5,000 portraits of notable French and Allied wartime figures, mostly sketched from life. Twenty artists played a major role in its production, although many more made contributions. It was exhibited in a specially constructed display building (which was demolished in 1960) next to the Hôtel des Invalides. Later, it made its way to the United States, and reconfigured portions of it may now be seen in the National World War I Museum at  the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City. It was his second such work, following the much smaller Panorama de Notre-Dame de Lourdes from 1881.

The painter Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse was Carrier-Belleuse's brother.
