title: Robert Roche (activist)

text:
Robert Roche, also known as Bob Roche and Rob Roche, is an activist for Native American civil rights. He is perhaps best known for being one of several prominent American Indians to spearhead the movement against the use of Native American imagery as sports mascots.

Early life
Robert Roche was born Robert Joseph Roche on 3 May 1947 at Saint Ann's Hospital located in Cleveland, Ohio. He would end up meeting Russell Means, a well-known actor, civil rights activist and founder of the Cleveland branch of the American Indian Movement. He would profoundly influence a young Roche, and the two would go on to collaborate on many projects.

Career
From 1974 to 1984, Roche worked in the City of Cleveland Juvenile Court Division as an Acting Probation Officer. During this time, he worked with indigenous youth who had come in contact with and were already in the juvenile justice system. In 1995, Robert Roche founded the American Indian Education Center, a non-profit organization that offered a variety of re-entry services for the American Indian population in the greater Greater Cleveland area, including HIV testing, tutoring, smoking cessation classes, cultural programming and resume writing instruction. in Cleveland, Ohio. Roche opened the American Indian Education Center to provide a more comprehensive variety of services after the two decades of controversy its "predecessor," the Cleveland American Indian Center, founded by Russell Means, had been embroiled in. in Cleveland, Ohio.
Robert currently serves as the executive director of the American Indian Education Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Some of the work he carried out was documented in a book written by attorney Joseph Patrick Meissner as part of a compendium of accounts focusing on people who work to improve their community. Robert Roche has also taught a course in Oberlin College's Experimental College Department about the history of the Native American civil rights organization, the American Indian Movement.

Activism
Roche was an active member of the Cleveland branch of the Autonomous American Indian Movement (AAIM) until January 2020, a separate division of the American Indian Movement.

Robert Roche has been a highly visible figure on the Cleveland scene for many decades, periodically using his role as a leader in the community to act as a character witness. He provided testimony in the clemency hearing for Billy Slagle, who was convicted of aggravated murder with death penalty specifications after, in 1987, he stabbed babysitter Mari Anne Pope to death while the children she was babysitting watched. In the appeal, Roche explained that Slagle, whose mother was Native American, visited the American Indian Education Center with his family as a child. Roche recalled alcohol abuse and violence were prominent fixtures in Slagle's home and believed Slagle would have been incapable of murder if it were not his addictions.

Roche worked to raise awareness for Cleveland kidnapping victim Amanda Berry, who is part Native American, by writing letters to the city police department and holding candlelight vigils for her.

Roche engaged in annual protests against Cleveland Indians mascot Chief Wahoo since 1973. He also founded the group "People, Not Mascots", a cohort which is dedicated to raise awareness against the use of a race of people as mascots and end the current use of offensive Native American imagery. As he explained, "We are not mascots. I'm nobody's mascot. My children are not mascots. "It mocks us as a race of people. It mocks our religion." Roche's protest at the Indians' 2014 home opener went viral when local blogger Peter Pattakos, who had hoped to film an argument for an anti-Chief Wahoo documentary, instead staged a confrontation by goading Pedro Rodriguez, a Latino fan wearing red face paint and a fake feather headdress, into approaching Roche on camera.

On 25 June 2014, major news media outlets began reporting that Robert Roche would file a lawsuit against the Cleveland Indians organization in July. Roche would be suing the team in excess of $9 billion. According to Roche, compensation would be sought based on the length of time and exploitation which has occurred from the use of the mascot. "We're going to be asking for $9 billion and we're basing it on a hundred years of disparity, racism, exploitation and profiteering," Roche said. "It's been offensive since day one. We are not mascots. My children are not mascots. We are people."

Criticism
Robert Roche has been the subject of criticism from some members within the Cleveland Native American community. Philip Joseph Yenyo, who has claimed at various time to be Cherokee Indian or Aztec Indian, protester, and member of the American Indian Movement of Ohio, claimed that Roche had constructed a false identity, claiming to have a birth certificate which reveals that Robert Roche was really Jose Roche. However, when asked to validate the nature of the injurious claims, Yenyo was unable to substantiate his accusations with material evidence. Roche has also been accused by members of the Native American community of using the Center as a platform for himself while failing to provide a consistent regimen of services. Roche was also asked by one of the founders of the original American Indian Movement to stop identifying himself as a member of the organization. According to Vernon Bellecourt, Robert Roche had never been an AIM representative in Ohio. "We have known for some time that he was invoking the name of AIM," Bellcourt said. "We feel if people are doing good work in our name, it's OK. But that is not the case with Roche. We received complaints about him from leaders of the Indian community, and that was enough to cause us to issue the letter." Despite identifying himself as a representative of the Autonomous America Indian Movement, Roche would also state that he was representative or executive director of Cleveland AIM, even doing so in a resume where he describes himself as an "appointed American Indian Movement executive director - Cleveland Ohio, 1994-present."

There have also questions raised about the use of grant funds allocated to the American Indian Education Center Roche operates. The Ohio Attorney General's Office launched an investigation into the use of the Center's finances following a 2013 anonymous complaint that alleged the American Indian Education Center mishandled the grant money it had been appropriated, and the fact Roche paid $153,00.00 in salary and benefits to himself that year, according to the tax filing. Closer examination to the available financial records, however, showed that Roche paid himself in relative proportion of grant funding allocated to the organization. In 2012, the American Indian Education Center received $650,000.00 in grant funding, an elevated increase in comparison from previous years. This was due largely to a Department of Education grant aimed at improving education for impoverished and underprivileged kids. In 2011, when the center was allocated $235,000.00 in grant funding, Roche paid himself only $37,000.00. Prior to that year, in 2010, when the Center was allocated $42,000.00 in grants, Roche, who served as the executive director, and the sole full-time employee on staff (who also worked seven days a week), paid himself only $12,000.00. During that same year, he also wrote a $16,000.00 loan for the center. On the tax filing, under "purpose," it read: "Keep Center Open."

New details into the mismanagement of money allocated to the American Indian Education Center have slowly emerged. It was revealed that the inspector general for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also launched an independent investigation into the American Indian Education Center. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) starting in 2011. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health, had provided thousands of dollars to the American Indian Education Center from 2011 onwards. However, due to the placement of a "high risk restriction" on the Center, access to the SAMHSA grant money was on a limited basis. The investigation also cites the lack of proper financial management to administer the federal grant. The probe has also identified certain irregularities into the expenditure of funds provided by the SAMHSA. These irregularities included the $136,000.00 salary Roche paid himself in 2012, which did not appear to be concordant with wages supplied in grant documentation provided by the American Indian Education Center, the flat fees paid to the center's grant writer, McGuire & Associates, are inconsistent with standard practice, and the Center's bylaws giving Roche governing authority and control over his board of directors, are not in keeping with federal guidelines, which state that the board should operate independently of its director. There are also matters of personnel costs, related taxes and fringe benefit payments that The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is looking into.

One grant received by the American Indian Education Center received in 2012 carried over into 2013. However, the grant was terminated by the grantor, the Ohio Department of Education, which decided that the program being funded by the grant was ineffective. Roche also made an attempt to open a second education center for American Indian people in the city of Columbus, Ohio in spite of financial difficulties faced during 2012. Although he cited poor health and financial difficulties, Roche registered a 1989 Jaguar in the "unfinished" Columbus Center's name in December 2012. According to Roche, he donated the car to the center, where he plans to raffle the vehicle in the name of American Indian services.

Embezzlement

Prior to his August 2018 indictment, Roche had been under investigation from the Department of Health and Human Services for several years. Investigators found Roche to have conspired with consultant Craig McGuire, whose company wrote grant applications, to steal the Circle of Care grant money. In April 2017, McGuire had pled guilty to conspiracy and theft of government funds.

Investigators said Roche worked with consultant Craig McGuire to steal Circle of Care grant money. According to Roche's indictment, the two secured grants meant to support the mental health and wellness programs for American Indian and Alaskan families and children. McGuire, whose company wrote grant applications, pleaded guilty in April 2017 to conspiracy and theft of government funds.

Roche and consultant Craig McGuire conspired to divert money from the American Indian Education Center. Investigators say McGuire submitted false applications to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). According to prosecutors, McGuire falsely claimed that the center offered an afterschool program for 500 children and had a "wellness department."

On 16 May 2018, Cleveland.com reported that Roche pled guilty to two counts of theft of government funds for stealing $77,000 in federal grant money meant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant money to improve the well-being of American Indians and Alaskan Natives living in Northeast Ohio. Roche was sentenced with four months in prison followed by four months of home confinement. Roche was also ordered by the judge to pay $77,000 in restitution, the amount he was accused of stealing.

Roche claimed he was in the early stages of dementia.

title: 1993 Brownlow Medal

text:
The 1993 Brownlow Medal was the 66th year the award was presented to the player adjudged the fairest and best player during the Australian Football League (AFL) home-and-away season. Gavin Wanganeen of the Essendon Football Club won the medal by polling eighteen votes during the 1993 AFL season. Wanganeen was the first Aboriginal player to win the Brownlow Medal in the history of the award, and, at age 20, he was the youngest winner since Denis Ryan in 1936. The South Australian also added a premiership medallion to his collection after Essendon defeated Carlton in the 1993 premiership decider. Both medals were already in addition to the 1993 Michael Tuck Medal Wanganeen was awarded for being judged best on ground in the pre-season grand final.

Controversy and credibility still hang over the legitimacy of the medal win. Greg Williams of Carlton received no votes for a 44-possession game against Melbourne in Round 10. In 2006, former umpire Murray Bird verified a conversation with main umpire John Russo after the game that revealed Russo refused to give any votes to Williams.

Leading vote-getters

* The player was ineligible to win the medal due to suspension by the AFL Tribunal during the year.

title: This Place (art project)

text:
This Place was a global art project that explored the complexity of Israel and the West Bank through the eyes of twelve photographers: Frédéric Brenner, Gilles Peress (France); Wendy Ewald, Fazal Sheikh, Stephen Shore, Rosalind Solomon (USA); Martin Kollar (Slovakia); Josef Koudelka (Czech Republic); Jungjin Lee (South Korea); Thomas Struth (Germany); Jeff Wall (Canada); and Nick Waplington (Britain). Each photographer created works in response to his or her own experience in the area; a total of over 500 images were exhibited internationally and published in a series of monographs.

History
Initiated by Frédéric Brenner, the project followed in the tradition of endeavors such as the Missions Héliographiques in nineteenth-century France and the Farm Security Administration in the United States, which gathered artists who used photography to ask essential questions about culture, society and the inner lives of individuals.
Each artist spent about six months in residence, traveling throughout Israel and the West Bank, following his or her own line of investigation. Brenner offered the photographers initial exploratory visits, so they could decide if, and how, they wanted to be involved with the project. According to Time: "This Place is not an act of photojournalism, nor does it contain — or send – a clear, unified message."

Exhibitions
The completed work was organized into an exhibition, curated by Charlotte Cotton, who stated that “Each artist has created a profound and personal narration of Israel and the West Bank, that, collectively, act a series of guides, leading the viewer into a deeper identification with the complexities and conflicts of the Holy Land." The exhibition was scheduled to open at DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague on October 24, 2014, thereafter traveling to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Norton Museum of Art, and other museums in Europe, the United States, and Asia.

title: Journey to Freedom (album)

text:
Journey to Freedom is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Michelle Williams, released on September 9, 2014, by E1 Music and Light Records. It marked her first release under the label after severing professional ties with longtime record company Columbia Records and manager Mathew Knowles in 2009. Following a hiatus from her recording career, Williams' album, a collaboration with main producer Harmony Samuels, was a fusion of both urban contemporary gospel and R&B sounds.

Released to critical acclaim, Journey to Freedom is ranked as the number-one, best gospel album of 2014 by Jubilee Cast. It is Williams' highest-charting album on the US Billboard 200, where it debuted in the top 30 and her second album to reach number two on the US Top Gospel Albums chart, where it is ranked by Billboard as one of the top 20 gospel albums of 2014.

The album was preceded by the release of the lead single, "If We Had Your Eyes" which peaked in the top 20 of the US Adult R&B Songs chart. A third single, "Say Yes", reunited Williams with her former Destiny's Child bandmates Beyoncé Knowles and Kelly Rowland and peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart for seven weeks. "Say Yes" was awarded Song of the Year at the 2014 Gospel Touch Music Awards and Music Video of the Year at the 2015 Stellar Awards, where Williams, Beyoncé Knowles and Kelly Rowland performed the song live. To further promote the album, Williams went on a tour in the United States. The album was nominated for Outstanding Gospel Album (Traditional or Contemporary) at the 46th NAACP Image Awards and earned Williams four nominations at the 30th annual Stellar Awards.

Background
In October 2008, Williams released her third studio album Unexpected, her first release since the disbanding of Destiny's Child. A breakaway from her previous solo efforts, gospel albums Heart to Yours (2002) and Do You Know (2004), the dance-pop-R&B album gained generally favorable reviews from critics, but became a moderate seller. Meanwhile, lead single "We Break the Dawn" and follow-up "The Greatest" became number-one hits on the US dance and dance airplay charts, though plans for a reissue of the album failed to materialize. In July 2009, Williams began a limited six-week engagement at the Cambridge Theatre in Chicago, making her the first African-American to be cast in the West End production of the musical. Her run was extended and Williams continued appearing for three additional weeks for an extended engagement through September 2009.

In January 2010, Michelle announced that she had parted ways with manager Mathew Knowles and Music World Entertainment. The following months, Williams made a return to Broadway by commencing a seven-week limited engagement in Chicago at the New York Ambassador Theatre, and in August, she joined the eighth series of British television show Strictly Come Dancing. In 2012, her collaboration with Ultra Naté, "Waiting On You" became her third top 20 hit on the US Dance Club Play chart.

On June 7, 2012, it was announced that Williams had been signed to Light Records and was due to release her fourth studio album in 2013. On January 3, 2013, it was announced that Williams would play Sandra in the national tour of the Tony-nominated musical Fela!, beginning January 29 in Washington, D.C. and playing in a total of 16 cities. On February 3, 2013, Williams performed at the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show, alongside Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland. On May 28, 2013, Kelly Rowland premiered "You Changed", featuring Beyoncé and Michelle Williams, on The Raheem DaVaughn Show on BLIS.fm. "You Changed" peaked at number 16 on the US R&B Digital Songs chart.

Music and lyrics
"Fire" contains a biblical reference to Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego, 'over a booming, midtempo track' which 'offers a great message of overcoming trials'.

Release and promotion

Singles
"If We Had Your Eyes" was digitally released worldwide as the lead single from Journey to Freedom on June 24, 2013. Fantasia Barrino features on the official remix which was released November 4, 2013. The song peaked on the US Adult R&B Songs chart at number 19 and the US Hot Gospel Songs chart at number 22. On September 3, 2013, a Derek Blanks-directed music video was premiered via YouTube and features appearances from the song's producer, Harmony Samuels and also former Destiny's Child member, LeToya Luckett.

"Fire", produced by Harmony Samuels, was digitally released worldwide as the second single on September 24, 2013. Williams recorded an acoustic live performance for Yahoo! Music. The music video premiered via YouTube on May 10, 2014, directed by Derek Blanks. Billy Johnson Jr. of Rolling Stone described the video as 'scorching in the vein of the Ohio Players's “Fire” album cover, except that Williams is, ahem, clothed. Williams looks flawless against the flame inducing red, orange, and yellow filters, backdrops, and lighting, leaving computer screens smoking.'

"Say Yes" featuring former Destiny's Child bandmates Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland was released as the third single on June 2, 2014. Although not a Destiny's Child song, "Say Yes" is the first song released as a single including all three former members since the group's disbandment in 2005. An accompanying music video was released on June 18, 2014. The music video for "Say Yes" was directed by Matthew A. Cherry and was filmed on May 20, 2014.

"Say Yes" peaked at number one on the US Hot Gospel Songs chart for seven non-consecutive weeks, number 9 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 and number 14 on the US Heatseekers Songs chart. It also appeared on several Billboard year-end charts between 2014 and 2015 and in 2019 was ranked as one of the top 50 gospel songs of the decade. On the 2014 year-end charts, "Say Yes" was ranked number 7 on US Gospel Songs, number 19 on US Gospel Airplay, number 11 on US Gospel Digital Songs and number 4 on US Gospel Streaming Songs. In 2015, "Say Yes" was ranked number 23 on the top US Hot Gospel Songs year-end chart. In 2019, Billboard ranked "Say Yes" at number 50 on the decade-end 2010-2019 US Hot Gospel Songs chart.
Internationally "Say Yes" charted in Belgium, France, Netherlands  and the UK; where it peaked at number 15 on the UK R&B Chart and number 8 on the UK Indie Chart. The music video was awarded Music Video of the Year at the 2015 Stellar Awards, where Williams performed the song live with Beyoncé & Kelly Rowland. Their live performance was released as a single on April 15, 2015.

Critical reception

Journey To Freedom received highly positive reviews from music critics. Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote 'this is among Williams' best work, highlighted by "Need Your Help," "Fire," and "If We Had Your Eyes."' Peggy Oliver for Soul Tracks expressed similarly, writing Journey to Freedom 'is by far Williams’ best body of work, a personal cleansing that further amplifies her dexterity with multiple genres. Michelle Williams’ half-dozen year hiatus away from the studio has served its purpose: she has emerged as an artist clearly traveling on her own artistic road to freedom, and delivering an album that was well worth the wait.' Mike Wass of Idolator complimented the production, praising the mix between R&B and Gospel noting 'Journey To Freedom is the perfect bridge between the singer’s gospel and secular output. By focusing on universal themes (love, hope and inner strength) and exploring new genres, Michelle has created something both inclusive and joyously experimental.' Wass also claiming Journey to Freedom is 'her best album to date.'

Timothy Yap of Hallels lent praise to the lyrical themes, writing, 'it's a theological meaty album with doses of spiritual muscle-inducing supplements derived directly from Scripture.' However, he noted 'the record is far too slanted towards having far too many mid-pacers. Songs such as "Free," "Just Like You" and "Everything" basically utilizes the same urban template effortlessly without having much time invested in developing stronger hooks making them more memorable. "Believe in Me," a smooth Diane Warren-styled R&B beat ballad, is redemptive in terms of breaking up the tempo. Nevertheless, despite the quibbles, Journey to Freedom is still one of this year's important releases. Williams could have chosen to journey the safe and money grabbing route by compromising her beliefs and Christian stance. But here she chooses to be true to her faith, her calling and her Lord; and the rewards are eternal.'

The GospelPundit praised Samuels' production and Williams' vocals writing; '[the album] is a catchy collection of upbeat music that promises a party, while inspiring and encouraging listeners. The Samuels Nigerian heritage provides a rich musical backdrop of African-influenced beats and chants, while his proven success in mainstream music (Chris Brown, J Lo, Ne-Yo and more) promises pop and urban styles that are relevant to a broad marketplace of music lovers. Michelle Williams tops it all off with vocals that range from pop to passionate, simple to soaring, all the while staying true to her own voice and vibe.' RoJay of Middlechild Promotions lauded the Williams' vocal performance 'although still criminally underrated as a vocalist, Michelle Williams takes control of her destiny once again and delivers another solid solo album where she gets to showcase the side of her personality that makes her as genuine and true to her art as her peers.'

Accolades

Commercial performance
Journey to Freedom debuted at number 29 on the US Billboard 200, Williams' highest appearance to date. It became her second debut at number two on the Top Gospel Albums chart, repeating the peak of her album Do You Know (2004). On the Top Gospel Albums chart Journey to Freedom debuted behind Lecrae's Anomaly, which was also released September 9, 2014 and became the first full-length album to top both the Billboard 200 and Top Gospel Albums chart simultaneously, selling over 88,000 units in its first week.Journey to Freedom also debuted at number 7 on the US Independent Albums chart and number 6 on the UK Christian & Gospel Albums chart.

Journey to Freedom spent a total of 30 weeks on the US Top Gospel Albums chart, making it her second longest-appearing album on the chart, following her debut album Heart to Yours (2002) which spent a total of 46 weeks on the chart. Billboard ranked the album at number 20 on the 2014 year-end chart, which lists the year's top 50 best-performing albums on the US Top Gospel Albums chart. Furthermore, Billboard ranked Williams as the 13th Top Gospel Artist of 2014 and 5th Top Gospel Artist - Female of 2014.

title: Bridges (Joe album)

text:
Bridges is the twelfth studio album by American musician Joe. It was released by on June 24, 2014 in the United States. The album marked his debut with co-executive producer Gerald Isaac's Plaid Takeover Entertainment after severing business ties with his longtime manager Kedar Massenburg. As with his previous release, 2013's Doubleback: Evolution of R&B, the album was chiefly produced by Derek "D.O.A." Allen, with additional contribution from Isaac, Philip Jackson, Vic Zapata and production team Element.

The album earned generally positive reviews from music critics, who called it one of Joe's best album projecs, though some found that Bridges was overlong. The album debuted at number 17 on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 15,000 copies. The first single released from the album was "Love & Sex, Pt. 2", a sequel to his 2013 song featuring singer Kelly Rowland, followed by "If You Lose Her," a top ten hit on the US Adult R&B Songs chart.

Critical reception

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called the album one of Joe's "best albums" and found that "while Bridges verges on pastiche and nearly outstays its welcome at 16 songs in 60-plus minutes, its vibrant nature is undeniable. Joe is engaging from beginning to end without sounding as if he's trying particularly hard, and he gets a tremendous amount of help from Derek "DOA" Allen, who produced all but two of the songs. Overall, this is more finely detailed than the majority of adult contemporary R&B, and there's a little more rhythmic bite through some deft dancefloor-aimed material."

Similarly, Boston Globe critic Ken Capobianco wrote that "although the 16-song disc is overlong, [Joe] covers diverse musical ground while showcasing his elastic tenor. The songs remain contemporary even as he nods to his influences." Melody Charles from SoulTracks noted: "Missteps and misconceptions aside, Joe's latest will do exactly what he intended to: guide his loyal 90s era fans into a new dimension of musical maturity. Trends change and tastes evolve, but Mr. Thomas's endurance comes from swaying with the currents rather than standing rigidly against them, a practice that makes this particular Bridge well worth the crossing."

Commercial performance
Bridges debuted at number 17 on the US Billboard 200 chart in week of July 12, 2014, with first-week sales of 15,126 copies in the United States. In its second week, the album dropped to number 40, selling another 7,000 copies, bringing its total album sales to 80,000 units.

title: Industrial Designers Society of America

text:
The  Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) is a membership-based not-for-profit organization that promotes the practice and education of industrial design.

The organization was formally established in 1965 by the collaborative merger of the Industrial Designers Institute (IDI), the American Society of Industrial Designers (ASID), and the Industrial Designers Education Association (IDEA). However, its origins can be traced back to the 1920s, prior to the founding in 1938 of the American Design Institute (ADI), which was the predecessor of IDI.<ref>Dubofsky, Melvyn (ed.) (2013). [https://books.google.com/books?id=D-NMAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA369 The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Business, Labor, and Economic History], p. 369. Oxford University Press. </ref> Its first chairman was John Vassos and its first president was Henry Dreyfuss.

The society publishes a quarterly journal, Innovation, in which Klaus Krippendorff coined the term "product semantics" in his 1984 article "Exploring the Symbolic Qualities of Form", as well as books such as Design Secrets: Products: 50 Real-Life Projects Uncovered''.

In 1980, the society established the International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA).

title: Building Performance Database

text:
The Building Performance Database (BPD) is an anonymized database that contains energy use intensity data for hundreds of thousands of buildings in the United States. It is built by the Department of Energy in the United States and maintained by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Users can examine specific building types and geographic areas, compare performance trends among similar buildings, identify and prioritize cost-saving energy efficiency improvements, and assess the range of likely savings from these improvements.

History

Prior to its launch, the BPD was described in a conference presentation by Elena Alschuler and Cody Taylor from October 2012. and another presentation by Alschuler in May 2013.

The BPD was launched in June 2013 with data from over 60,000 commercial and residential buildings.

A factsheet put out by the White House Press Room on May 28, 2014, cited the Building Performance Database as an example of a success story, saying that it has exceeded a milestone of 750,000 building records, making it the world's largest public database of real buildings’ energy performance information.

Data and API

The BPD has an application programming interface (API) that can return the energy use intensity for any group of buildings defined by an API request. The BPD contains business proprietary and confidential information, and all data is anonymized and can only be analyzed in aggregate. The API can be accessed using Python, Ruby, or cURL.

title: Foolproof Brewing Company

text:
Foolproof Brewing Company (formerly High Jinx Brewing Company) is a brewery based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

History
High Jinx Brewing Company was founded in 2012 by Nick Garrison, a former homebrewer from Massachusetts. Shortly after starting operations and before initial sales to the public, it was renamed Foolproof to avoid trademark conflicts with Magic Hat's beer brand, Jinx or Pennsylvania's HiJinx. It brewed its first batch in December 2013 and began in-state sales in January 2013. By the end of 2013 it had doubled its production capacity and expanded distribution to neighboring Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Beers

Foolproof produces limited production seasonal and specialty beers and four year-round beers: Barstool, a golden ale; Raincloud, a porter; La Ferme Urbaine, a farmhouse ale; Backyahd, an IPA which draws its name from the Eastern New England pronunciation of "backyard." The company markets its beers by naming them after "experiences," or common beer-drinking contexts, for which each is intended. Unusual for a small brewery, Foolproof releases most of its beer, and in particular its core year-round brands, in cans, and promotes the use of cans for better flavor. Foolproof's brewmaster, Damase Olsson, is a former chemist and brewer at Nashoba Valley Winery and now-defunct Pennichuck Brewery.

In January 2014 the brewery released a line of beer-based soaps in collaboration with Newport-based soapmaker Spindrift.

title: Tongwynlais railway station

text:
Tongwynlais railway station served Tongwynlais in South Wales.

History
The station was opened by the Cardiff Railway. Compared with the others on the line, Tongwynlais was one of the larger stations. It had two long platforms with a substantial wooden building on the up side. The platforms were linked with a metal footbridge. The 'down' platform closed on 16 May 1928 when the track was singled. The station closed to both goods and passengers in 1931. In 1947, the line re-opened, but the station did not.

After closure
Despite having been closed for 30 years, the station remained in a reasonable condition for a long time, and the station building was still standing in 1961. However, no trace of the  station remains, as it has since been buried under the A470 road.

title: Javier Arau

text:
Javier Arau (September 30, 1975) is an American composer, saxophonist, conductor, theorist, author, and entrepreneur. He is the founder and executive director of New York Jazz Academy, leads the Javier Arau Jazz Orchestra, and is the author of several works on music theory and improvisation. He is a four-time Downbeat Award winner.

Biography
Javier Arau was born in Santa Monica, California and raised in Sacramento, California. He received scholarships to attend Lawrence University in 1993 and New England Conservatory in 1998.

He received an Outstanding Performance Award in 1994, Extended Jazz Composition awards in 1996 and 2000, and a Jazz Arranging award in 2000 from DownBeat Magazine. He also was the first-ever recipient of the ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Award, in 2002.

He has been featured the New York Times, DownBeat Magazine, on NBC TV's Today in New York, and was the featured cover artist on the Saxophone Journal in August 2009. All About Jazz hailed, "Arau's 'Paper Train' is a marvelous bit of modern composition. Arau's 'Missouri Blues' toys with the edges of funk and fusion, and he puts grit into his tone to match. ...Good music based on strong roots.". Saxophone Journal noted, "Those who we remember best--Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi, Haydn and Mozart--did it all. Today there are very few who do it all, and an incredibly small proportion of them do it all extremely well. One who does is Javier Arau."

In 2009, he founded New York Jazz Academy, a NYC-based music school. He also leads the Javier Arau Jazz Orchestra.

Publications
Javier's compositions have received awards from ASCAP, BMI, DownBeat Magazine, and IAJE, and are published by UNC Jazz Press and Dorn Publications. At the age of 19, his transcription and analysis of  Joe Henderson's Grammy award-winning solo on Lush Life was published in IAJE's Jazz Educators Journal, which became widely regarded as the definitive transcription of that iconic performance. Henderson got word of Javier's efforts and quickly became a mentor to him. Arau has published his "Augmented Scale Theory," which helps bridge the gap between the chromatic tendencies of modern jazz and the diatonic roots of traditional jazz harmony, enabling the improviser to play creatively over such challenging material as Coltrane's “Giant Steps” and Wayne Shorter classics. His most recent book, a practice manual for all instruments, "365 Ways of Practicing Major Scales in Thirds" is available in bookstores nationwide. Javier is currently writing a book entitled "Anatomy Of A Melody: A Jazz Improv Primer for All Instruments". Javier's Jelly and Jam Session, his extensive music outreach program, was licensed by the NYC Department of Education to be used in the public school music curriculum.

title: Russell Wilson (Canadian politician)

text:
Russell Wilson (July 1864 – November 13, 1936) was a politician and merchant in Saskatchewan, Canada. He had served as a member of the Saskatoons city council and went on to become the city's mayor in 1926.

Wilson was born near Almonte, Canada West, to Robert and Jane Wilson. He received his education in Carleton County and, with his family, homesteaded on Beaver Creek near Hanley in 1883. The family had bought 190 acres of land in Beaver Creek. After leaving home, Wilson worked in Moose Jaw, as guide for the transport department during the North-West Rebellion and served as a railway contractor along with his brother from 1884 to 1885. Wilson started merchandising in dray in 1883. From 1893 to 1896, he traded in food and livery along with H. McDonald. Wilson and his brothers sold the property after their parents moved to Saskatoon in 1899. After selling their property Wilson continued his business in partnership with his brother Archibald. The two brothers started Wilson Bros., a livery business; they later sold the company and began trading in carriages, harnesses and automobiles. In 1908, he married Ida Dunham of Brockville. Wilson served as the director of the Saskatoon Milling Company (later sold to Quaker Oats), and the Northwestern Telephone Company. He also served on the Soldier Land Settlement Board in 1919, and on Saskatoon's city council from 1923 to 1925.

Wilson was a member of the Saskatoon School Board from 1906 to 1910 and from 1911 to 1912. After the University of Saskatchewan was established in 1907, Wilson became a member of the University's senate in 1914. In November 1925, Wilson was elected mayor of Saskatoon by acclamation,  succeeding William Harvey Clare. After he suffered two strokes, the city's council granted him a leave of absence in September 1926. He was the shortest-serving mayor in Saskatoon's history. George Wesley Norman succeeded him. After suffering another stroke Wilson died in 1936. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.

His brother James served as the first mayor of Saskatoon after it was incorporated as a town on July 1, 1903.

In 2006 it was found that a joint account (which he shared with a priest) had a total of $938.06 in it and the amount had remained unclaimed for the past 77 years. The account was not interest-bearing, so the balance had not changed since 1929. Whether the account has been claimed or not is unknown.
