title: Mathew Barzal

text:
Mathew Barzal (born May 26, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward for the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL). Barzal was selected by the Islanders in the first round, 16th overall, of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. He won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's top rookie in 2017–18, the fifth Islander to win the award.

Playing career

Amateur
Barzal played in the 2010 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with his youth team from Burnaby. He was selected first overall by the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League (WHL) in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft. In his rookie season with the Thunderbirds in the 2013–14 season, Barzal scored 14 goals and 40 assists for 54 points. He was ranked seventh in the NHL's midterm rankings ahead of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

New York Islanders
Barzal was selected 16th overall by the New York Islanders in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. On September 10, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Islanders.

On October 15, 2016, Barzal made his NHL debut. He returned to the Thunderbirds and won the 2017 WHL championship as Barzal was named WHL Playoff MVP after registering 25 points (7 goals and 18 assists) in 16 games.

Barzal's first NHL point came on October 15, 2017, against the Los Angeles Kings when he assisted on a goal by Josh Bailey. Barzal's first NHL goal came on October 19 against Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers.

Barzal's first multi-point NHL game came on October 26, 2017, when he had a goal and an assist playing against the Minnesota Wild. The goal, the second of his career, came in the waning seconds of the Islanders' 6–4 loss. Barzal's first NHL power play goal (and also his first NHL goal at home) came on October 30 against the Vegas Golden Knights. Barzal set a franchise record for assists by a rookie when he recorded five assists on November 5 in a 6–4 Islanders win over the Colorado Avalanche. This also tied the franchise record for points in a game by a rookie.

Barzal's first multi-goal game and his first hat-trick came on December 23, 2017, against the Winnipeg Jets in a 5–2 Islanders win. On January 13, 2018, in a 7–2 win over the Rangers, he became just the fifth player in NHL history to have two five-point games in a season before his 21st birthday. On February 9, 2018, in a 7–6 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, Barzal became the first NHL rookie to record three five-point games in a season since Joe Malone did so in the 1917–18 season. On April 7, Barzal tied the Islanders record (held by Bryan Trottier) for most assists by a rookie with 63. On April 22, Barzal was named a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the best rookie in the NHL. On June 20, he won the award. Barzal and Kyle Okposo are the only players to lead the Islanders in scoring during John Tavares' nine-year tenure with the team; however, Okposo did it in a season in which Tavares was hurt, whereas Barzal did it in a season in which they both played the full 82 games.

Following the departure of Tavares during the 2018 off-season, Barzal began the 2018–19 season centering the Islanders' top line with Anthony Beauvillier and Josh Bailey. On December 29, Barzal scored a natural hat-trick in a 4–0 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, becoming the first Islanders player to score a hat-trick against the Maple Leafs since Mike Bossy on March 20, 1986. On January 3, 2019, Barzal was named to the 2019 NHL All-Star Game. Barzal finished the season with 62 points (18 goals and 44 assists), leading the Islanders in both points and assists.

Barzal won the fastest skater competition at the 2020 NHL All-Star Skills Competition.

In the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs, Barzal scored his first playoff overtime winner against the Washington Capitals in Game 3 to give the Islanders a 3–0 series lead. The Islanders ended up winning the series 4–1 to face the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round, whom the Islanders beat in seven games. The Islanders lost to eventual Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On January 11, 2021, Barzal was signed to a reported three-year, $21 million contract with the Islanders.

On October 4, 2022, Barzal signed an eight-year, $73.2 million contract extension with the Islanders. On January 1, 2023, in his 400th NHL regular season game, Barzal scored his 100th career goal in a 4–1 loss to the Seattle Kraken.

International play

Barzal helped Canada capture the bronze medal at the 2014 IIHF World U18 Championships and won gold at the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. Barzal was again named to the Canada roster the following year to compete at the 2015 IIHF World U18 Championship, where he again won bronze.

Barzal was selected as an alternate captain for Canada at the 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. He helped guide Canada to a silver medal and was one of the top ten scorers in the tournament.

On April 12, 2018, Barzal was named to Canada's senior team to compete at the 2018 IIHF World Championship.

Personal life
Barzal speaks fluent French, having undergone French immersion in school; as a result, he has a very close friendship with former Islanders teammate Anthony Beauvillier, a French-speaker whom he met when the two played for Canada at the 2015 World U18 Championship.

title: STEM Education Act of 2014

text:
The STEM Education Act of 2014 () is a bill that would add computer science to the definition of STEM fields used by the United States federal government in determining grants and education funding. It would open up some training programs to teachers pursuing their master's degrees, not just teachers who had already earned one.

It was introduced and passed in the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress.

Background

"STEM" is an acronym referring to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The term is typically used in the US when addressing education policy and curriculum choices in schools from k-12 through college to improve  competitiveness in technology development. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy. In the United States, the acronym began to be used in education and immigration debates in initiatives to begin to address the perceived lack of qualified candidates for high-tech jobs.  It also addresses concern that the subjects are often taught in isolation, instead of as an integrated curriculum. Maintaining a citizenry that is well versed in the STEM fields is a key portion of the public education agenda of the United States.

Provisions of the bill
There are three major components of the bill.

First, the bill would expand the definition of "STEM education" to include education in the field of computer science. This definition is used by NASA, the National Science Foundation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the United States Department of Energy in their programs. This would "ensure federal grants and programs related to STEM education include computer science education."

Second, the bill would confirm the importance of STEM education outside of school.

A final provision of the bill would make "classroom teachers with bachelor’s degrees in STEM fields who are pursuing master’s degrees eligible for NSF-administered Master Teaching Fellowships in exchange for a four-year commitment to teach in high-need school districts."

Procedural history
The STEM Education Act of 2014 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on July 8, 2014 by Rep. Lamar Smith (R, TX-21). It was referred to the United States House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. On July 14, 2014, the House voted to pass the bill in a voice vote.

Debate and discussion
The IEEE-USA supported the bill, with President Gary Blank saying that "IEEE-USA strongly supports federal, state and local efforts to improve K-12 science, technology, engineering and math education, particularly programs that increase student interest and engagement in engineering and computer science."

Rep. Elizabeth Esty (D-CT), who co-sponsored the bill, said that "STEM education is critical to preparing our students for high-demand careers in engineering, manufacturing, and information technology." According to Esty, she frequently hears from "manufactures and small business owners that it's increasingly difficult to find workers with the right skill sets to fill the jobs in demand."

Rep. Smith, who introduced the bill, said that "we have to capture and hold the desire of our nation's youth to study science and engineering so they will want to pursue these careers. A healthy and viable STEM workforce, literate in all STEM subjects including computer science, is critical to American industries. We must work to ensure that students continue to go into these fields so that their ideas can lead to a more innovative and prosperous America."

title: Erling Poppe

text:
Erling Poppe (12 November 1898 – 1970) was an Austrian-born English-raised motor vehicle designer who studied engineering in Birmingham, England, and designed Packman & Poppe Motorcycles, Sunbeam motorcycles and Gordon three-wheeler cars.

Early life
Poppe was born in Steyr, Austria, 12 November 1898, the son of Norwegian Peter August Poppe and Frederikke Emilie Poppe, while his father had been on loan to Steyr Mannlicher. The whole family were settled in Coventry by February 1901 when their next child  was born.

Motor cycles
At Packman & Poppe Motorcycles in 1922 Erling Poppe was responsible for their first motorcycle which featured a 250 cc two-stroke engine, a 976 cc side-valve machine with a JAP V-twin engine in 1923 and the Silent Three using a 350 cc Barr and Stroud sleeve-valve engine.

Poppe designed the Sunbeam S7 and S8 motorcycles based on the BMW R75 designs that were acquired by BSA (together with the full rights to the Sunbeam brand) at the end of World War II.
Built in Redditch, the engine layout was an unusual in-line 500 cc twin with a shaft drive to the rear wheel.

Motorcars
At Gordon, Poppe designed a three-wheeled two-seater with a single front wheel. The single-cylinder, 197 cc, Villiers engine was mounted next to the driver (RHD), outside of the body with an external chain-drive to one rear wheel. Access to the interior was via a single door. The steel body had a folding fabric roof, and at £300 it was the cheapest car on the UK market.

title: Caliroa

text:
The genus Caliroa is a group of sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae are slimy in appearance, and are sometimes referred to as "slugs" (e.g., the "pear slug") although they are insects rather than gastropods.

The larvae of some species in this genus are important pests which can do significant damage to the leaves of trees such as oaks, poplars, and cherry and pear trees. The larvae are covered in slime, making them unpalatable to predators; when fully grown, they drop off the tree and pupate underground.

title: List of Peep Show characters

text:
Peep Show is a British sitcom starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb. The series follows the lives of two men from their twenties to thirties who live in a flat in Croydon, London. Mark Corrigan (Mitchell), who has steady employment for most of the series, and his lodger, Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne (Webb), an unemployed would-be musician, are the main characters of the show. It was shown on Channel 4 from 2003 to 2015.

Major characters
Characters appear in all series unless otherwise specified.

Mark Corrigan
Mark Corrigan (played by David Mitchell) is the miserly, vindictive owner of the flat (in Apollo House) which he shares with Jeremy. Mark is portrayed to be responsible, articulate (both in his inner thoughts and his outer speech) and relatively intelligent, at least compared with most of the other characters. He is also pessimistic, unhappy and socially and sexually awkward. He had a miserable upbringing, and is terrified of his father, who is gruff and difficult. He is a graduate in Business Studies from the fictional Dartmouth University, where he met Jeremy. He passed 7 GCSEs, and he has a love of history, especially ancient history—which he originally wanted to study at university, before being pressured by his parents into reading business studies instead. He often makes references to history - including Nazi Germany and The Second World War - in relation to events that happen in his day-to-day life.

Mark is convinced that Jeremy's laziness, lack of logical rigour and indifference towards cultural pursuits are markers of low intellect, but often looks to him for social guidance. He is plagued by paranoia as to how others perceive him, and by doubts over whether his actions are normal. In spite of his thoughtful and sensible exterior and his tendency to act as the moral centre of his surroundings, he has frequent bouts of selfishness, schadenfreude and impulsive behaviour. He loathes many aspects of modern culture, such as drug use and openness of sexuality; Mark often simply endures activities that others around him enjoy, as “the price you pay to avoid loneliness”.

Mark's political sympathies are arguably the most developed of any character on the show, and yet they retain some ambiguity. He appears to be politically rational, if socially the exact opposite. He is mildly Eurosceptic and often ticks many centrist and a few socially conservative boxes, although it is unclear whether this is out of true political conviction or the aforementioned wish to blend in. In the second series he does not seem to mind being associated with the notion that “Tony Blair isn't such a bad thing”, but in the fifth series, he claims "nobody wanted New Labour" and shows admiration for the Liberal Democrats’ Paddy Ashdown. What seems to be clear is that he is uncomfortable with and oft-irritated by political correctness and praises “the miracle of consumer capitalism”, albeit often with pessimistic acceptance rather than enthusiasm. And he seems genuinely to abhor bigotry and far-right politics, which in Series 2 causes him to lose one of the few true friends he had made onscreen aside from Jez. He often criticises those who believe in God, but has been seen praying in times of extreme panic.  Although it is never stated in the show, his surname is of Irish origin.

When the series starts, Mark has already been a loan manager at a London branch of JLB (a Frankfurt-based loan and credit company) for around four years, at least judging from the timing given by Jez in Series 2. His time at JLB comes to a close when the branch closes down in the first episode of Series 6; later on, Mark works as a waiter at the Mexican restaurant Banditos, a bathroom equipment salesman at Bath, Bathrooms, and Fittings, and finally again as a loan manager at the fictional Met City Bank with his former boss Alan Johnson. He is fired in the series finale, partly because of Jeremy's belated reaction to an abusive loan Mark had set up for him at the bank.

Mark's obsession with Sophie and his relationship with her (which is his first), is a major storyline of the first four series. Following their disastrous wedding and separation immediately afterwards, he pursues a series of other women during series 5, wondering whether each could be "the one". After having sex with Sophie following their breakup, she becomes pregnant and later gives birth to Mark's son.

Mark's only other relationship is with Dobby, whom he meets at JLB shortly after splitting from Sophie. Like with Sophie, Mark gradually succeeds in getting closer to Dobby and ultimately entering a relationship with her, but Dobby leaves him at the end of series 8 for a job in New York. She returns in series 9 with an American boyfriend, a new look and a more upbeat attitude, and Mark becomes less attracted to her as a result.

In the final series – 9 – he has a fling with April, whom he knew briefly years earlier, who is now unhappily married to a middle-aged man, Angus. Mark tries to poach her, but fails in the show's finale when he allows Jeremy and Super Hans to kidnap Angus and hold him captive in their flat, which she discovers.

Jeremy Usbourne
Jeremy 'Jez' Usbourne (portrayed by Robert Webb) is a "work-shy freeloader" who lives in the spare room of Mark's flat. He is selfish, juvenile and arrogant, but considers himself to be immensely talented and attractive. He is confident, but can sometimes come across as spiteful and stubborn. Although more socially skilled than Mark on a superficial level, his over-confidence and narcissism mean that in practice he is equally socially inept.

Jez displays a readiness to engage in actions that are detrimental to his friends for his own gain, including ganging up on Mark with a bully, overdosing Mark on paracetamol to save a magic mushroom party and then angrily blaming him for the guests' departure, having sex with Sophie (and her mother), ruining some of Mark's onscreen relationships or relapsing Super Hans into drug addiction. His relationship with Mark, which is by far the most developed throughout the series, oscillates between mutual, albeit poorly timed demonstrations of unconditional loyalty and acts and thoughts of deep envy and petty vindictiveness. Jeremy shows a tendency to sabotage Mark's romantic and professional life in ways that are sometimes the result of selfish opportunism, but other times appear to be the unwanted outcome of genuine kindness.

Jez attended Dartmouth with Mark and graduated with a degree in nursing. Jez was a nurse for a while, but quit because he was "disgusted at having to help people". He also receives financial support from his mother, despite maintaining an estranged relationship with her. For most of the series, he pursues a musical career with his friend Super Hans, in a band with no consistent name, despite having little musical talent or skill. In later series he claims to become a "life coach", despite having no ability to do that either. As well as being lazy, Jez is financially reckless, never opens his bank statements, and has apparently spent a "nest-egg" given to him by his mother. He is unaware of how bank loans work, he expresses annoyance at the effort taken to travel to the job centre once a week to claim unemployment benefit, and despite Mark's protestations, bizarrely claims that inheriting £20,000 from a great aunt will make him a "millionaire". Neither the threat or the reality of becoming destitute encourages Jeremy to try and earn money and pay his own way.

Jez is free-spirited, popular with women in the short-term, and enjoys recreational drugs as well as casual sex, although he has several emotionally attached relationships. His first major love interest during the series is Nancy, whom he marries in order to allow her to stay in the UK; she leaves him after he admits to having sex with Toni. He later has a fling with Big Suze, whom he split from shortly before the series began. She leaves him when he tries to convince her to have sex with Johnson for money. During series 6, he has a relationship with Elena, during which he discovers that she is in a long-term same-sex relationship relationship with Gail; he later reveals the affair to Gail. In series 7 he has a fling with Zahra, who lives with her partner Ben. After Zahra and Ben separate, Jez resumes his relationship with her, but she leaves him after he attempts to have sex with Super Hans's girlfriend. In series 8, Jeremy discovers he is in love with Dobby and ruins Mark's plan to propose to her, thereby putting a six-month hiatus on their friendship. In series 9, he enters a same-sex relationship with Joe - who is over a decade younger than him. Jez pretends to be a year younger than he is, which leads to Joe leaving him at his 40th birthday party, in the finale.

Super Hans
Portrayed by Matt King, Jeremy's bandmate and friend, ’Super’ Hans is an untrustworthy selfish fantasist who very frequently uses recreational drugs. His musical skills are implied to be only marginally better than Jeremy's, and at least part of his role (which in Season 2 Jeremy is briefly asked to fill in for) seems to be merely to front for other bands, "hit a few keys on the sequencer, make a bit of a show". Hans's real name is Simon (as revealed during his wedding to Molly in series 9). He experiences a crack cocaine addiction in the second series, remarking "that crack is really moreish", later referenced again in the final episode of the third series and in the seventh series.

In spite of the damage he routinely causes to his brain, he is portrayed to be a fast thinker, and the drug-addled stream-of-consciousness that passes for his normal speech is occasionally insightful and indicative of a huge volume of pop-culture knowledge. His professed political beliefs appear to be closer to the far-left of the political spectrum (probably some warped, sui generis form of left-wing anarchism combined with a willingness to provoke outrage) but given that his thoughts are not audible as voiceovers, it is difficult to know how much he truly adheres to anything he says. He ostensibly had a rough childhood, which included being locked up by his father to "monitor the home brew." He seems to be unfazed and unaffected by things that would shock, scare or repel others, but he does appear to have his limits as well, as exemplified by a New Year's Eve party that is too disturbing even for him in the series 7 final episode.

Hans' contentious opinions often contradict Jeremy's ideas. His tough-love attitude towards Jeremy thinly masks a readiness to betray him whenever it suits him, e.g. edging him out of band projects, stealing his love interests, claiming sole ownership of shared song credits or having Jeremy take the blame for his own drug use and then leaving him temporarily homeless in order to save his marriage. His relationship with Mark, on the other hand, is tolerant - although the two have very little in common, Hans seems less concerned by Mark's social awkwardness than others, and even expresses sincere and unprompted appreciation of Mark's character and friendship on the evening before Hans's wedding, while Mark is often surprisingly forgiving of Hans's eccentric and destructive behaviour.

He works in a recording studio in the first series. At the end of series five he and Jeremy join a religious cult whose teachings resemble a cross between Scientology and the theories of Wilhelm Reich, and Hans has (or feigns) a much deeper commitment to their beliefs than Jeremy. During the finale of the sixth series he says that he is father to eight-year-old twins who have an opaque connection to the German language. In series five, he says that he is barred from entering some EU countries. He is of constant surprise to the others, including in the last episode of the seventh series in which he has apparently found the love of his life, a previously unseen young East Asian woman, who speaks no English, but a tiny bit of German. In the final series he marries a woman called Molly. Because of her hatred for Jeremy, Hans asks Mark to be his best man at their wedding, revealing either a very small circle of friends, or, a lack of any 'straight' friends also acceptable to Molly. However, she leaves Hans after he kidnaps Angus in an attempt to help Mark. At the wedding, it is revealed that Hans's real name is Simon, and two young boys are present who seem to be the aforementioned twins. At the end of the series, he decides to go to Macedonia and open a moped rental shop. Russell Brand originally auditioned for the part. Hans was inspired by the character Danny from the film Withnail and I.

Alan Johnson
Alan Johnson (portrayed by Paterson Joseph) is a senior loan manager at JLB. Usually referred to and addressed simply as "Johnson", he becomes friends with Mark after meeting him at work. During series 2, he becomes Mark's boss. His approach to life in general and business in particular is basically an aggressive, social Darwinian apology of the survival of the fittest and borderline fascistic, as seen in his eulogy for Gerard in series 8. Although a confident, suave and intelligent businessman and apparently a pillar of the community, he was previously an alcoholic for 15 years. Mark continues to get on well with Johnson despite some misunderstandings, and Johnson is one of the few people who takes Mark's side after the breakdown of his marriage to Sophie. Johnson and Jez dislike each other from the start, even more so after Big Suze leaves Jez for him. During series 6, after the termination of the UK JLB operation, he lives in a council house with Suze, referred to by Mark as his "recession residence" and shows delusions due to his fall from power. He swindles Mark out of £2000 by attempting to make him an executive in a new consultancy agency. In the final episode of series 7, he throws away his sobriety during a new year party. He drives an E39 520i BMW, but later on during the show is seen being driven in an E65 7 series BMW.

Sophie Chapman
(series 1–7, guest series 9) Portrayed by Olivia Colman, Sophie is a colleague and love interest for both Mark and Jeff. She is initially in a relationship with Jeff, but leaves him and starts a relationship with Mark. She marries him, then immediately separates from him. Her family live in the countryside, and she begins drinking heavily and taking drugs. She is less friendly with, or respected by, their boss Johnson than Mark is. Dobby and Johnson are the only people in the office to take Mark's side after their disastrous wedding. At the start of series 6, she discovers that she is pregnant with Mark, Jez, or Jeff's child. By the end, a DNA test proves that Mark is the father. In the first episode of series 7, their son is born. Despite his greatest efforts, Sophie is let down throughout series 6 and 7 by Mark concerning his responsibilities as a father, including unintentionally missing the christening of his son and therefore losing his rights to name his own baby as punishment. Sophie is mentioned - but does not appear - in series 8. She returns in series 9 for one episode where she offers Mark the chance to live with her and their son at her grandmother's cottage, which she had gained after her death. Mark initially agrees for baby Ian's sake, but changes his mind in favour of pursuing April.

Jeff Heaney
Portrayed by Neil Fitzmaurice. Jeff is a colleague of Mark and Sophie's at JLB and an intimidating, manly bully from Merseyside. He repeatedly clashes verbally and occasionally physically with Mark, not least for the attentions of Sophie, who chooses Jeff but leaves him after he kisses another woman. In the later series, as Mark and Sophie's relationship takes its course, he is frequently seen mocking Mark. After their relationship falls apart, Jeff appears to be gradually getting close to Sophie again. Mark's anger over this peaks when Sophie even considers naming their child 'Geoff'. However, Sophie sees no connection between this name and that of Mark's rival, instead claiming that she takes it from her uncle. In series 7, he becomes the baby's godfather when Mark and Jez both fail to turn up on time, and it appears that Jeff and Sophie are back in a relationship by the end of the series, which is a major torment to Mark, who constantly believes that his son will think Jeff is his father. Jeff confirms they are back together when he comes to Mark's house to collect the baby in series 8. Jeff returns in the very last episode in series 9, no longer with Sophie but once again working for Alan when Mark is fired from his new job.

Dobby
(Series 5–9) Portrayed by Isy Suttie. Dobby works in the IT department of JLB and is a self-described misfit, much like Mark. She tells Mark that her real name is Debbie, but everyone calls her Dobby. She has many interests that are similar to those of Mark, including MMORPGs. Mark meets her in series 5 episode 2 in the office canteen and quickly develops strong feelings for her, as does Mark's colleague Gerard soon after. Dobby expresses obvious interest in, and feelings for Mark in the first episodes, and even takes the bulk of the sexual initiative during their first encounters. However, Mark's failure to act on those first overtures and ask her out properly from the beginning, coupled with his general emotional and social immaturity once they start dating, as well as negative circumstantial influence (including Sophie's pregnancy and a disastrous Christmas lunch), leads to an at-times difficult relationship, and she is strongly implied to gradually lose interest in it. By the end of series 7, Mark invites Dobby to move into his flat, and he spends series 8 unsuccessfully encouraging her to do so, while Jez secretly falls in love with her. While Dobby wants to go interrailing across Europe with Mark, he decides the best way to keep her is to ask her to marry him in the Quantocks, as he did with Sophie in series 3. However, Jeremy sabotages this event by revealing his feelings for her to Mark and creating an altercation that results in Dobby walking off to go to New York. In series 9, Dobby returns and meets Mark and the two are friendly towards each other. Just as Mark finally gets over his infatuation with her, he is beaten up by her boyfriend Gregory after he discovers that Mark has been stalking her online for months.

Big Suze
(played by Sophie Winkleman, series 3–7)
Big Suze lived with Jez in a flat (which he nostalgically refers to as the "love shack") for around a year and a half, prior to the start of the first series of the show. She is occasionally mentioned from series 1 but does not make an appearance until her introduction as a major supporting character in the third series. Suze is posh and is an actress, but between roles works as a waitress in a café. Jez is desperate to get back together with her, and although they reunite briefly, she later leaves him for Alan Johnson. Her nickname comes from her being tall. Her appearance in the third series was intended for Nancy, but Rachel Blanchard was unavailable. During series 6, her relationship with Johnson is troubled, leading to their breakup in series 7, and her throwing a separate New Year's Eve party, resulting in Johnson relapsing into drinking alcohol.

Minor characters

April Danecroft
(Catherine Shepherd, (s2 & 9). A Dartmouth University student and shoe salesgirl who has the magical combination of beauty and low self-esteem. Mark pretends to be doing the same course as her at Dartmouth in order to meet her there. He fails in his attempt to have casual sex with her. She returns in s9 as a successful historian and is unhappily married to boring middle-aged historian Angus. She has a fling with Mark.

Gerard Matthew
(Jim Howick, s4–8). Mark's colleague at JLB, and later, his rival for Dobby's affections. He has health problems which sometimes result in a need for a tube up his nose. He has similar interests to Dobby - including MMORPGs and live action roleplay. Mark considers himself socially superior to him. In s7, he and Mark form The Dobby Club, an organisation of two who are committed to breaking Dobby up from her boyfriend Simon, deciding that the matter of which of them gets to date her if they succeed can be resolved afterwards. Each would readily betray the other if it meant getting what he wanted. Gerard dies of flu in the first episode of s8.

Gail Huggins
(Emily Bruni, s6-8). Elena's long-term girlfriend, a member of Mensa and a musician. She manages a Mexican restaurant, hiring Mark until she fires him shortly after in s7. In s8, she campaigns to be chairman of the freehold committee in Apollo House.

Simon
(Mathew Baynton, s7 & 8). Dobby's boyfriend for part of s7. During s8, Simon tries to get Dobby back after she reveals she is going to move in with Mark.

Ian Chapman
(Paul Clayton, s4–7). Sophie's homophobic, ultra-conservative father who lives with his wife and son in the countryside. He dislikes Mark, but most of the time silently resents him, rather than trying to break Sophie and Mark up. After Mark impregnates Sophie, he tries to persuade Mark to get back together with Sophie. Mark and Sophie's baby is named after him.

Zahra
(Camilla Marie Beeput, s7). A young woman whom Jez meets in a hospital waiting room while her partner Ben is in a coma. Ben regains consciousness and later employs Jez, in a role which Jez uses as a means to try to get close to, and eventually seduce, Zahra. She is interested in many refined subjects that are beyond Jez, such as foreign-language films and classic literature, including Frankenstein, which he pretends to know about and be interested in as a means to impress her. Jez and Zahra eventually have a fling, unbeknownst to Ben. When Ben and Zahra later break up, Zahra asks Jez to move in with her. She dumps him before he is able to accept her offer, because she finds out that he attempted to cheat on her.

Elena
(Vera Filatova, s6). Elena is an Eastern European immigrant who lives in the same block of flats as Mark and Jez. She works part-time as a legal secretary in human rights law and deals marijuana on the side. She has a sexual attraction towards fathers, is bisexual, and in a long-term relationship with Gail. She hides the relationship from Jez at the start of their fling, which goes on to become a secret affair. She likes spelt bread as she is wheat intolerant.

Nancy
(Rachel Blanchard, s2 & 4). Arriving in Britain from the US where she had a conservative upbringing, Nancy is hedonistic and carefree. Her attitude towards love and relationships is affected by her upbringing and her Christian beliefs clashing with her personality and desires, leading her to send her boyfriend Jez very mixed messages, from having adventurous, frequent sex to abstaining completely. She marries him to stay in the UK, but does not reciprocate his love for her.

Toni
(Elizabeth Marmur, s 1–2). The next-door neighbour of Mark and Jez, and an object of their affections throughout the first series of the show. She separates from her husband Tony (John Hodgkinson) in s1, but the couple reunite during s2, although they still argue. Her father died when she was three and she appears to be seeking a father figure. During her childhood she regularly went skiing. She has two sisters; one with cancer, and a half-sister. She is headstrong and liberal, and engages in casual sex with Jez on a few occasions. In s1 e2, she engages in pyramid selling, but at the end of s2 she is working as a supervisor in a call centre.

Ben
(Danny Babington, s7). Jez and Mark meet Ben - who is in a coma - and his partner Zahra in hospital where Mark and Jez accompany Sophie, who is giving birth to Mark's son. Jez works for Ben in order to spend time with Zahra, enabling Jez to have a fling with her.

Sarah Corrigan
(Eliza L. Bennett, s3 & 6-8). Mark's sister, a solicitor who aids Mark in regard to custody rights over his son. She first appears having split up with her husband. Jez quickly seduces her, much to Mark's chagrin which worsens when he has sex with her the same night they meet. Jez finishes with her very soon after he finds out Suze is single, but she continues to show a sexual interest in him every time she appears. Although Jez tries to avoid her, he briefly moves in with her and her son Joshy in s8, when he agrees to move out of Mark's flat but realises that he has nowhere to go.

Megan
(Cariad Lloyd, s9). A barmaid whom Jez meets during Super Hans' stag night. He gives her life coaching to help her pursue her dream job as an artist. Jez has an affair with her boyfriend Joe, and also ends up having sex with her behind his back. By coincidence, the two discover the other's cheating with Jez at the same time. Megan agrees to have a "threeism" with the two men based on a set of guidelines, but a dispute on who gets to be with who on which day results in Joe leaving Megan for Jez. Despite her anger towards Jez, Megan attends his 40th birthday, where she reunites with Joe after Jez breaks up with him.

Joe
(Bart Edwards, s9). Megan's boyfriend. Jez has sex with him on an impulse, which results in an ongoing relationship between the two. Jez also has sex with Megan, but chooses Joe over her. His older age prevents him from keeping up with Joe, and Jez pretends to be a year younger than he actually is when Jez's 40th birthday approaches. Joe buys him some tickets to spend a whole week raving together, but Jez declines, so Joe returns to Megan.

Big Mad Andy
(Liam Noble, s3 & 8). An emotionally volatile handyman whom Jez manages to befriend after Andy is tasked with repairing a bathroom door destroyed by Super Hans. Jez attempts to 'life coach' Andy in a futile and self-serving effort to treat Andy's patently urgent mental health problems. Andy is a heavy drinker who punches people when intoxicated in order to provoke a fight and have his own thoughts "punched out of him".

Jerry
(Tim Key, s9). Mark's colleague who moves in to Jeremy's old room. Although mild-mannered, cheerful, and ostensibly sharing a lot of Mark's more cultured interests (books, history), Jerry proves an irritant, and Mark wishes to return to his more low-brow domestic arrangement with Jeremy.

title: Super Black Racing

text:
Super Black Racing was a New Zealand motor racing team that competed in the Australian Supercars Championship between 2014 and 2016.

History

Super Black Racing was conceived in 2014 by Paul Radisich with the aim of forming a New Zealand team to enter the V8 Supercars Championship.

In June 2014, it was announced the team had been formed with backing from Tony Lentino and Andrew Hiskens.

The team debuted at the 2014 Bathurst 1000 with Ant Pedersen and Andre Heimgartner finishing 11th. The team raced a Ford Falcon FG leased from and prepared by Prodrive Racing Australia.

Super Black Racing started the 2015 series with Heimgartner driving a customer Prodrive Racing Australia Falcon FG with a Racing Entitlement Contract (REC) leased from DJR Team Penske. A few rounds into the 2015 V8 Supercars season, Super Black Racing upgraded to a Ford FG X Falcon. After driving in the last two rounds of 2015, Chris Pither drove the car in 2016. With DJR Team Penske taking back its REC, Super Black purchased one from Walkinshaw Racing.

With help from MW Motorsport, the team also ran a Falcon FG for Simon Evans in the 2015 Development Series.

The team raced with number 111, in memory of Mark Porter. Following the death of Lentino, the team ended at the end of 2016 with the REC sold to Tim Blanchard.

title: Age of Kill

text:
Age of Kill is a 2015 action film directed by Neil Jones and starring Martin Kemp, Patrick Bergin, April Pearson, Philip Davis and Bruce Payne. It was written by Simon Cluett.

Premise
A black ops sniper, Sam Blake (Martin Kemp) is blackmailed by a psychotic terrorist known only as "Jericho" into killing six seemingly unrelated people in six hours. If he fails, if he misses a target, if he goes to the police or is caught, the death toll will be far higher.

Cast

Martin Kemp as Sam Blake
Patrick Bergin as Sir Alistair Montcrief
Bruce Payne as Prime Minister
Dexter Fletcher as Major Jackman
April Pearson as Lexi
Philip Davis as Bill Weybridge
Nick Moran as Roy Dixon
Donna Air as Sarah
Lucy Pinder as Jenna

Dani Dyer as Joss Blake
Sebastian Street as Agent Dalton
Tony Denham as Gaz
Chris Brazier as D.C. Hicks
Bartley Burke as Agent Cole
George McCluskey as PC Flynn
Mike Firth as Passerby

Reception

The film received largely negative reviews. Matt Glasby of Total Film stated that 'Neil Jones threadbare Brit thriller short-changes all comers, particularly lead Martin Kemp, who plays a government hitman blackmailed into going rogue, and co-stars Nick Moran and Patrick Bergin, who add some undeserved class'. Allie Gemmill stated that Age of Kill is 'ultimately another poorly-acted, poorly-constructed film that will only disappoint viewers who are hungry for a good action film'. Mark Kermode stated that the film 'will disappoint even the most undiscerning viewer'. In Stuart Boyland's view 'all but the staunchest fans of the cockney-tough-guy, sub-standard sub-genre of action thrillers should probably steer clear' of the film. In contrast, Eoin Friel stated that 'Age of Kill is another winner for Richwater films with a great cast, fast pace and some decent action'. Ivo Bochenski also gave the film a favourable review, stating that it was 'an enjoyable modern day spy thriller with an intriguing cast of East End faces'. Mike Haberfelner stated that the film is 'full of action and the plot moves forward at a very steady pace - but that said it's anything but a one-dimensional action flick, its plot is complex and multi-layered, twists and turns and is full of surprises, it leads us into a grey area rather than presenting us with the typical good vs evil dichotomy, and it features a bunch of interesting, colourful characters'. In Paul Heath's view 'for a low-budget, though high-octane, British action film with surprisingly big production values, Age Of Kill is a film that won’t overly delight the critics, but is perfect for that post-pub visit on a Friday night to slap on with your mates'.

title: Corson (singer)

text:
Alain Cordier (; born 25 November 1979 in Thionville), better known by his stage name Corson, is a French singer-songwriter. He is a versatile singer with a characteristic tenor lyrical voice and classical singing techniques but equally efficient as a pop rock performer. Corson is also the name of his musical pop rock group. His debut 11-track album The Rainbow was released on Polydor in January 2015.

Biography

Corson with encouragement of his mother studied piano at age 8. At 17 years, he took classical singing classes at the Thionville music conservatory also becoming the vocalist for the band Samsara, a funk group he formed with his high school friend. He also entered Thionville Conservatory and later Asnières Conservatory specializing in lyrical singing. He took part in a number of musical comedies touring various French venues.

Cordier also graduated with a diploma in International Commerce and worked for a time in a Luxembourg bank before quitting to concentrate all his time to music. At 21, he decided to move to Paris and to attempt a musical career. In 2003, he played in Belles belles belles (a musical based on Claude François' songs) and in Roméo et Juliette by Gérard Presgurvic.

He wrote songs for Amaury Vassili, Joy Esther and in 2009 his meeting with producer Selim Mouhoubi and his Selisam Productions company was very critical in developing his career. Alain Cordier decided to change his artistic name to Corson in memory of his mother being the first syllables of his mother's given name and surname.

In 2011, an EP titled Corson released with 5 tracks on label Mercury Records. The singles The Rainbow, We'll Come Again, Raise Me Up were broadcast on French radios Virgin Radio, RTL, NRJ.

In 2014, Sophie-Tith invited Corson on her album. He also opened concerts by Skip the Use, Boy George, Imagine Dragons, Lisa Stansfield, Laura Pausini at Zénith de Paris, Morten Harket at Olympia, Calogero at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy. Corson also performed in solo concerts at Le Divan du Monde and Café de la Danse. A new single Loud released in July 2014.

His song We'll Come Again can be heard in Lancôme's commercial for the fragrance "La Vie est belle" with Julia Roberts.

Style
Corson discovered U2 as an adolescent and tried to sing like Bono and Luciano Pavarotti on the duet Miss Sarajevo who inspired him the single We'll come again. He has an operatic voice who serves melancholic lyrics and melodies. He illustrates his songs by artistic video clips. Corson reminds Brad Pitt's Meet Joe Black for We'll come again.

Charity involvement
He supports the association Rafael Lorraine, a charity created for helping sick children.

title: Swordsman Online

text:
Swordsman was a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) by Perfect World Entertainment. Closed Beta began on , and was open to all users with a Closed Beta key. On , the closed beta ended and the open beta began on  for players with early access benefits and , for all players. The game shut down on .

Story
Swordsman is based upon the novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (Xiao Ao Jiang Hu) by Louis Cha, the best-selling Chinese writer alive at the time. He’s famed for his wuxia novels, with over 100 million copies of his works sold worldwide. As part of the wuxia genre of Chinese martial arts and chivalry, in Swordsman, the player takes the role of a wandering hero and experiences the hero’s rise to glory amongst one of ten schools of martial arts, the quest to avenge the hero’s destroyed village, and the opportunity to adventure with great heroes around the world.

Gameplay
Swordsman gameplay has a focus on action-oriented combat that is less focused on stats and more on player skill. Players can excel through character mobility, aerial combat, twitch reflexes, dodging, and dynamic combat styles inspired by martial arts.

Zones dynamically transform as a result of player actions and the actions of player guilds. As players move through the main story, the environment may change based on their decisions. Towns will be destroyed or saved, new NPCs and quest givers will appear, and secret rooms will be revealed. Players can see the effects of their decisions reflected in the balance between good and evil in each zone.

Martial Arts Schools
Players are able to choose from one of 11 different schools of combat including Shaolin, Wu-tang, Five Venoms, Splendor, Infinity, Sun and Moon Cult, Zephyr, House Tong, Harmony, E'mei, Falconer and the newly released class Grace.

Each school representing a different class also consists of different skill sets and usage in different weapons which expands on personal preferences and uniqueness for any player.

title: Yorkshire Evening News Tournament

text:
The Yorkshire Evening News Tournament was a professional golf tournament that was held in the Leeds area of Yorkshire, England between 1923 and 1963. It was a fixture on the British PGA tournament circuit, which would later become the European Tour.  Before World War II, it was a knockout match play tournament preceded by a 36-hole stroke play qualifying round; when it was revived following the war it was a pure stroke play tournament, except for 1949 when it was played as knockout match play.

In the early years, the Yorkshire Evening News Tournament was considered a British major golf tournament. "The first tournament, in 1923, was billed as the  unofficial ‘Championship of the World’ between American superstars Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen.  Hagen triumphed, but lost in the final by a two-hole margin to Ryder Cup star Herbert Jolly."

Format
From its founding in 1923 until 1939, the Yorkshire Evening News Tournament was contested as match play knockout by the leading players after 36 holes of stroke play. When it was revived in 1944, during World War II, it was a 36-hole stroke play tournament. Following the end of the war, in 1946, it was extended to 72 holes. The 72-hole stroke play format was retained except for 1949, when it was played as knockout match play in order to provide British players with practice in advance of the Ryder Cup.

title: Kettle Point Formation

text:
The Kettle Point Formation, also known as the Kettle Point (black) Shale, is a geologic formation that consists of thinly laminated, siliciclastic, organic-rich black shale with thin to thick interbeds of organic-poor mudstone. It is largely restricted to the subsurface of southwestern Ontario.

The eponymous type location of the Kettle Point Formation is Kettle Point which is located on the southeast shore of Lake Huron, southwestern Ontario. Kettle Point is the sole significant, and relatively accessible, outcrop of this formation. The outcrop consists of a wave-cut bluff which is  high. Along its length, the wave-cut bluff exposes  of slightly tilted shale. Kettle Point was named for decimetre- to meter-sized, hemispherical to spheroidal authigenic carbonate concretions that erode out of the Kettle Point Formation. These concretions are locally called kettles due to their resemblance to cooking vessels used by European settlers.

Nomenclature

In 1863, Logan first informally described the strata comprising the Kettle Point Formation as the Kettle Point black shale and its outcrop at Kettle Point. In 1900, Dadly described the shales and concretions, locally called kettles, and their outcrop at Kettle Point in detail. His descriptions of them have been used and cited by later researchers. Caley first formally named and defined the Kettle Point beds in 1943. Later in 1955, Sanford and Brady redefined it to include only those beds that occur between the top of the Hamilton Formation and the base of the Port Lambton beds. Further detailed descriptions of this unit were published by MacDonald and Russell.

Lithology
The Kettle Point Formation of consists of organic-rich laminated black shale interbedded with beds of organic-poor greyish green mudstones and rare red and red–beige mudstones. The black shales of the Kettle Point Formation are organic-rich and highly fissile. Some layer of black shale are interlaminated with white-coloured laminae of clay- to silt-sized quartz and calcite grains. The associated greyish green mudstones are homogeneous, lacking discernible lamination or other primary sedimentary structures. Furthermore, they lack the organic matter and microfossils, i.e. Tasmanites , which are abundant in the black shale. The beds of greyish green mudstones occur interbedded with beds of black shale. Thin, <  (average ), beds of red and red–beige mudstone were observed in three drill holes of the Kettle Point Formation. The homogeneous red and red–beige mudstones are significantly lower in mud content than the greyish green mudstones and have a microcrystalline appearance. The reddish color is due to small siderite crystals that are less than  in diameter.

The concretions that are found within the Kettle Point Formation are typically spheres to oblate spheroids. The oblate spheroids are flattened slightly parallel to the plane of bedding. The diameters of these concretions range from . The fragments of these concretions display internal fabric that consists of an inner homogeneous, commonly burrowed zone surrounded by an outer zone of radiating fibrous carbonate. These concretions lack any obvious nuclei, such as macrofossils, at their centers. These concretions occur in the black shale in the lower part of the Kettle Point Formation. Because the concretions are so much harder than the enclosing weakly indurated shale, they readily weather out of the shale along the shoreline and are incorporated into the rubble mantling the lake bottom adjacent to the outcrop.

Contacts
The lower contact of the Kettle Point Formation is a disconformity that lies on the uneven surface of the underlying Hamilton Group. The uneven topography of the basal contact is the result of a combination of the dissolution of the underlying Silurian Salina Salt and erosion of the underlying Hamilton Group. At Kettle Point, the black shales of the Kettle Point Formation rest directly upon a layer of "conodont hash", which in turn rest upon a -thick bed of chert. This cherts lies upon chert intercalated with limestone of the Hamilton Group.

The upper contact of the Kettle Point Formation is an erosional unconformity. Typically in southern Ontario, it is directly overlain by Pleistocene glacial tills and related deposits. In the central part of southern Ontario, the Carboniferous Bedford Formation of the Port Lambton Group unconformably rests upon Kettle Point Formation. Locally, sandstone-filled fluvial channels of the Berea Formation have removed the Bedford Formation and cut into the Kettle Point Formation.

Fossils
Except for Tasmanites and conodonts, the flora and fauna of the Kettle Point Formation is very limited in terms of diversity as well as in number. Within the Kettle Point Formation, only Tasmanites, an orange or amber colored cyst of a marine planktonic alga, is abundant on typical bedding planes and within concretions. Conodonts are also common and less commonly ostracods, scolecodonts, arenaceous foraminiferans, and pyritized radiolarians and sponge spicules have also been observed. Rare megafossils include plant remains (e.g. Callixylon and Protosalvinia), the inarticulate brachiopod, Lingula, and fish remains (scales, dermal plates, and possible teeth). Small, unidentified, highly fragmented brachiopods and crinoids have been recovered from drill cuttings. Finally, well-preserved, silicified fossils of Prototaxites have been observed and collected from the black shales of the Kettle Point Formation at Kettle Point.

Age and Correlation
The analysis of conodonts concluded that the strata comprising the Kettle Point Formation range in age from Frasnian and Famennian (Late Devonian). These conodonts faunas are also interpreted to indicate that the Kettle Point Formation is stratigraphically equivalent to more extensive organic-rich, fine-grained strata, e.g. the Ohio, New Albany, Chattanooga, and Antrim shales, of the eastern United States. It is also considered to be stratigraphically equivalent to organic-rich, fine-grained strata, the Long Rapids Formation, of the Hudson Bay platform in northern Ontario.

title: Carlos Howard

text:
Carlos Howard (1738 - ?) was an Irish-born military officer who served as Governor of West Florida (in Pensacola), between 1792 and 1793. Prior to that appointment, he served as secretary and general administrative assistant to the East Florida Governor Vicente Manuel de Céspedes y Velasco, in St. Augustine.

Biography
He joined the Spanish army in his youth, attaining the rank of captain. He was part of the Irish Infantry Regiment, and later joined the Regiment of Louisiana, where he attained the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Eventually he emigrated to Florida, where he became secretary of the Governor Vicente Manuel de Céspedes y Velasco. He also served as general administrative assistant.

Cespedes sent a message to Howard to “prepare the Anglo-American residents of the province for a change of masters”. This was in reference to the regime change from  two decades of British rule to a resumption of Spanish authority. Howard sent information about Georgia to St. Augustine.

In November 1792, Howard was appointed Governor of West Florida, where he established a small militia among the settlers on the Nassau and St. Marys Rivers. He left the office in August 1793.

In June 1795, American rebel marauders led by Richard Lang attacked the Spanish garrison on Amelia Island. Colonel Howard, once again an officer in the Spanish military, discovered that the rebels had built a battery and were flying the French flag. On August 2, he raised a sizable Spanish force, sailed up Sisters Creek and the Nassau River, and attacked them. The rebels fled across the St. Marys to Georgia.

Personal life
Howard spoke English, French and Spanish.

title: Rochester and Suburban Railway

text:
The Rochester and Suburban Railway was a streetcar company that operated in the Rochester, New York area. The company was preceded by the Rochester and Lake Ontario Railway, which was formed in 1879 to construct a steam-powered railroad connecting Rochester at Portland Avenue with Sea Breeze on the shores of Lake Ontario. The line was operated with enclosed "dummy" steam locomotives. At the line's terminus, the railroad constructed a resort, which later became the modern Seabreeze amusement park. The railroad was leased by the Rochester and Irondequoit Railroad in 1893, which in turn built its own electric streetcar line along St. Paul Boulevard to the Summerville lakeside community in Irondequoit. The electric line only operated in the summer months, and connected to a ferry boat that transported passengers across the Genesee River to Charlotte. The opening of the Stutson Street Bridge in 1927 forced the termination of ferry service, and the railroads entered receivership soon after.

Control by New York State Railways
The Rochester and Suburban Railway was chartered in 1900 and purchased the Rochester and Irondequoit Railroad at a foreclosure sale, and then merged the Rochester and Lake Ontario Railway. The former R&LO line was rebuilt and electrified and year-round service to Summerville began in 1905. That same year, the railroad was leased to the Rochester Railway Company, which in turn was acquired by New York State Railways in 1909. The Sea Breeze line was closed in 1936, and the Summerville line followed a year later.

title: Verulam Formation

text:
The Verulam Formation is a geologic formation and Lagerstätte in Ontario, Canada. It preserves fossils dating back to the Katian stage of the Ordovician period, or Shermanian to Chatfieldian in the regional stratigraphy.

Description
The Verulam Formation belongs to the Simcoe Group and overlies the Bobcaygeon Formation. Both the Bobcaygeon and Verulam Formations are composed of bioclastic wackestones, grainstones, and packstones interbedded with calcareous shales and siltstones. The Verulam contains more shale than the underlying Bobcaygeon Formation. Several hardgrounds have been documented in detail from the upper Bobcaygeon and lower Verulam. The paleoenvironments in which the Bobcaygeon and Verulam Formations were deposited have been interpreted as a proximal carbonate shelf that ranged in depth and proximity from shoal to shallow shelf in the Bobcaygeon and from deep shelf to shoal or shallow shelf in the Verulam Formation.

Fossil content
The Verulam Formation and the underlying Bobcaygeon Formation have provided many fossils. Both formations form the Brechin Lagerstätte, a Lagerstätte of excellent preservation of numerous exceptionally preserved crinoid specimens with arms, stems, and attachment structures intact. Also ostracods, trilobites, bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods and other fossils were found in the formation.
