title: Bayat (tribe)

text:
Bayat (; ; ; ) is one of the Oghuz tribes in Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. When Oghuz Turks started to migrate from the Aral steppes to Khorasan in the 11th and 13th centuries, Bayat people spread throughout the region. They are sub-ethnic groups of Turkmens and Azerbaijanis. Bayats are Muslim and speak a southern dialect of Azerbaijani language in Azerbaijan and Iran, or their own dialect of Turkish in Turkey, and Ersari dialect of Turkmen in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The ancient Turkmen proverb says: "Kayi and Bayat tribes shall lead the people" (Turkmen: "Il başy - gaýy-baýat").

Etymology and origin
Initially, the ethnonym Bayat was mentioned as an Oguz tribe in the 11th century by the Turkic historian Mahmud Kashgari. Bayat - an Oghuz Turkic tribe, who stood together with the Kayi tribe at the head of all 24 Oguz tribes - "Il bashi Kayi-Bayat."

In the traditions of the Turkic tribes, the origin of this tribe is traced to Bayat - the grandson of Oghuz-Khan. In the book of the Khan and historian of the Khiva Khanate, Abu al-Ghazi Bahadur, "Genealogy of the Turkmens," the meaning of the name of the tribe is given as "rich". Bayat was the second son of Gun-Khan, who was the first son of Oguz-Khan. According to the work of the historian, Rashid-al-Din Fazl-Allah, "Oghuz-nameh", which is part of his extensive historical work Jami' al-tawarikh (Collection of Chronicles), the name Bayat means "rich, full of grace".

On the territory of Kievan Rus, Bayats are recorded as part of the Oghuz tribes in chronicles of the 10th-12th centuries by the name of bouts.

Clans
Bayat is the name of an originally Turkic clan in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran which traces its origin to the 12th century. When Bayat clan started to migrate from the Aral steppes, their first destination was the city of Nishapur in the south of Khorasan, a state in the north-east of Iran. The Bayat clan moved in the 13th century to three different locations after attacks by Mongol forces.

From there, one group went east and north-east, so that the surname Bayat is still found in Afghanistan.

A second group went south-west towards Isfahan, and the surname Bayat is prominent in Arak, Hamedan, Malayer, Isfahan, Zanjan and Shiraz cities. The third group went north-west, and in Azerbaijan they divided in two; one part of the group took the west to Anatolia, and second part went south into Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.

Bayat in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
Until 1928, the Gyzyletrek settlement of the Balkan velayat of Turkmenistan was called Bayathaji, while Bayat Turkmens still live in Darganata, Danew, Turkmenabat, Sayat, Farap and Hojambaz etraps (districts) of the Lebap velayat of Turkmenistan. Representatives of the Bayat tribe may also be found in many districts of Bukhara province of Uzbekistan, especially in Olat and Qarako'l.

Places with name Bayat
Bayats are spread far into western Anatolia, their principal areas of settlement being in the provinces of Konya, Bursa, Afyon, Balıkesir and Kütahya. Today the name in forms such as Bayat, Bayatlar, Bayatlı is found in thirty-two mainly western Anatolian toponyms. The name also appears in toponyms in Iran, two near Arāk, one near Zanjan, one near Urmia, one in Khuzestan, one near Borūjerd, and one in Khorasan. In post-Soviet countries, five places in Azerbaijan, four in Turkmenistan, and one in Uzbekistan close to the Turkmenistan border bear the names Bayat. In Gujarat, India, one place can be found about 250 km away from the India-Pakistan border.

title: Central Ground

text:
The Central Ground was a football stadium in Northwich, Cheshire, which was the home ground of Witton Albion Football Club between 1910 and 1 May 1989. A Sainsbury's supermarket now occupies the site.

History
Witton Albion's first ground was adjacent to the Parish Church Vicarage. In 1897 and 1910, the club moved to Magdala Place. By 1910, the club moved to a new site near the Victoria Saw Mills on Witton Street. Over the next ten years, the club leased the land for £15 per year, and in July 1920, the club purchased the land outright for £750, and was renamed as the Central Ground.

In the 1960s, a small grandstand was constructed at the southern perimeter of the ground. The northern perimeter included a terrace area that ran the length of the pitch. The goal ends featured grass embankments with hooped metal railings.

Witton Albion sold the Central Ground to J Sainsbury PLC in 1989, and the football club moved to Wincham Park, a new ground in nearby Wincham later that year. The final match at the Central Ground was a 1–1 draw against Frickley Athletic on 1 May 1989. A new Sainsbury's store was erected on the site along with a new link road, Venables Road.

title: Benjamín Rubio

text:
Benjamin Rubio (Bustarga, Leon, 1925 - August 25, 2007) was an active trade unionist in the Laciana area.

Biography

Benjamin Rubio was born in Bustarga, in Ancares (Leon) on October 12, 1925. During the Spanish Civil War he saw the repression of the Nationalists and it scarred his life forever. At the age of 16 he began working in the mining industry, with an anarcho-syndicalist influence, and served as liaison between the army of the "Maquis" and the Léon-Galicia Guerrilla Group, led by César Ríos, between 1942 and 1949. During these years, he suffered persecution and finally was imprisoned.

After leaving prison, he moved to the Leonesa Region of Laciana, to return to work in the mines. Leaving behind its anarcho-syndicalist influences, the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) contacted him for the reorganization of its structure in the Spanish interior. Thus, he became the underground communist leader for León and Galicia. His participation in the Mining Strike of 1962 (called "The Huelgona"), sets an important historic precedent, to settle one of the first permanent Workers' Commissions. Since the late 1950s, the trade-union policy of the PCE has marked the over-involvement of the Vertical unions. Various Asturian miners' strikes (1958, 1959, ...), had formed the Workers Commission, which dissolved by the end of the conflict. The difference from the Laciana case is that, during that strike, the workers managed to introduce 12 representatives into the Company Board controlled by the Ponferrada Mining, Iron and Steel Company and close to Francoist Spain. One of those representatives was Benjamin Rubio, settling a Permanent Work Commission, and whose extension will be the birth of the Workers Commission Union (CCOO), of which he became an important leader.

In the early years of the 1970s, as part of the Anthracite Strike, and with CCOO outlawed and persecuted, Benjamin Rubio was called on to travel to the UK to seek support for the Workers' Commissions from the European trade unions, support which he obtained. For several years he continued his work as leader of the Spanish Communist Party and the Workers' Commissions, participating in the Spanish Transition. Finally, he left the front line of politics, beginning a collaboration with the War and Exile Association (AGE) in the struggle for the recovery of historical memory and recognition of the rebels as soldiers and not as bandits. Between these activities, in 2000 he collaborated with the Caravan of Memory, which brought together several guerrillas from Galicia and Leon in Villablino, initiating a struggle for the memoirs.

Some months before dying, he published his book "Memoirs of the Anti-Franco Struggle", where important biographical and historical aspects are collected, such as the lyrics of Guerrilla anthems and other information. He also participated in the Documentary "La Guerrilla de la Memoria" (The Guerrilla of Memory).

He died on August 25, 2007.

title: Christine Jones (police officer)

text:
Commander Christine Jones QPM (born 1964/1965) is a senior British police officer serving with London's Metropolitan Police Service ("the Met"). As of 2014, she is the Met's senior officer responsible for mental health and for domestic violence; she also the leads the Association of Chief Police Officers' (ACPO) National Mental Health Working Group.

Career
In 2008, Jones was in charge of an operation in which Mark Saunders was shot dead by police firearms officers after repeatedly firing a shotgun out of a window; after the inquest into Saunders' death, Jones said "the object of the police was to protect the public and [to] bring Mark Saunders to safety. But we are prepared to take appropriate action to make difficult decisions to protect the public". In April 2011, Jones was responsible for the security operation at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

Jones was appointed to lead the Met on mental health in 2012 upon the retirement of her predecessor. In this role, she has worked to change the way people with mental health problems are treated when they come into contact with the police. Shortly after her appointment, Jones undertook a review of cases involving mental health including deaths in police custody. She concluded that police officers were too often being used for tasks of which they were not trained, such as transporting people detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 to hospital or detention of people in crisis at police stations—a practice she wishes to see become a "never event".

Jones oversaw the implementation of an assessment framework for the Met in 2013 which was intended to assist police officers in recognising mental health issues, which showed that a third of individuals who come to police attention have mental health problems. During Jones' tenure, mental health professionals have been stationed at police custody suites in London, and the Met aims to extend the scheme to all of its custody suites by the end of 2014. Jones has also overseen the retraining of police officers to recognise a mental health crisis as a medical emergency, with the result that the number of mentally ill people taken to police custody (rather than another "place of safety") in the Metropolitan Police area decreased from 86 in 2013 to 27 in the first half of 2014. Jones praised the assistance she received from NHS England in implementing the changes, but was critical of the lack of mental health provision elsewhere in England and Wales, describing it as "wholly inadequate and [...] until recently, non-existent in some areas".

In an interview for The Guardian newspaper, Jones expressed disinterest in becoming commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, stating that she "wouldn't want that sort of personal intrusion. Everything you do is under the spotlight".

Personal life
Jones' sister is a consultant psychiatrist and both her parents worked for the National Health Service (NHS). Her brother also worked for the NHS but died suddenly.

Honours
Jones was awarded the Queen's Police Medal (QPM) in the 2015 Birthday Honours.

title: Boglösa Church

text:
Boglösa Church () is a medieval Lutheran church in the Archdiocese of Uppsala a few kilometres south of Enköping in Uppsala County, Sweden.

History and architecture

Boglösa Church lies in an area with old cultural traditions; notably, there are several preserved petroglyphs in the vicinity of the church. According to an old tradition, a battle against an unnamed enemy was once fought on the site of the church.

The oldest parts of the church dates from the early Middle Ages, i.e. the 12th or 13th century. The church was enlarged during the 14th century, and during the 15th century the wooden ceiling was replaced with brick vaults. The church was further enlarged during the 18th century, and received larger windows. A renovation was carried out in 1957-59.

Among the furnishings, the altarpiece (15th century) merits special attention. It was originally made for Stockholm Cathedral but sold to Boglösa Church already in 1470. There is also a church tabernacle and a triumphal cross from the 14th century in the church, as well as a medieval baptismal font made on Gotland. The pulpit and the pews are from 1744. The organ dates from 1844.

title: Mikkira

text:
Mikkira Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station in South Australia.

It is situated approximately  south west of Port Lincoln and  south east of Coffin Bay on the Eyre Peninsula. The property is composed of grassy plains well watered by Sleaford Mere, Fishery Creek and other permanent springs along with numerous wells.

The traditional owners of the area are the Barngalla, Nauo and Battara peoples, who inhabited the Eyre peninsula for thousands of years and often camped at the permanent Mikkira waterhole while travelling along the coastline.

Settled in 1842, Mikkira was one of the first properties settled on the lower Eyre Peninsula.

The station was placed on the market in 1863; it had some improvements and was stocked with 9,700 sheep. Owned by the Cadby Brothers, Mikkira occupied an area of . It contained a homestead, workers huts, store, kitchen, wool shed and drafting yards.

The property was owned by William James Browne from before 1870 to at least 1881; the property was being managed by Alexander Tolmer from 1864 to 1887.

In 1884 Mikkira was put up for auction when it was stocked with about 6,000 sheep.

John William Henderson acquired Mikkira in 1911 and held it until his death in 1914.

The Theakstone family acquired the station in 1923, with the family still owning the property today. Elzabeth de la Perrelle (née Theakstone) took over the freehold in 1986.

In 2012 the station was struck by the Sleaford bushfire and several koalas at the property were killed. A count was completed in 2013 and found 114 koalas as were found in the sanctuary area, although some of their habitat had been destroyed by the flames.

title: Peter Miller (software engineer)

text:
Peter Miller (16 October 1960 – 27 July 2014) was an Australian software developer who wrote Recursive Make Considered Harmful and created Aegis and cook.   He also proposed a set of "laws" for modern software engineering and architecture in the early 1990s:

Miller's laws are:

 The number of interactions within a development team is O(n!) without controlled access to the baseline. If the development team does have controlled access to the baseline, interactions can be reduced to near O(n), where n is the number of developers and/or files in the source tree, whichever is larger.
 The baseline MUST always be in working order.
 The software build/construction process can be reduced to a directed, acyclical graph (DAG).
 It is necessary to build a rigid framework of selected components (aka the top level aegis design).
 The framework should not do any real work, and should instead delegate everything to external components. The external components should be as interchangeable as possible.
 The framework should use the Strategy pattern for most complex tasks.

title: Quebec carbon tax

text:
The Canadian province of Quebec became the first in Canada to introduce a carbon tax. The tax was to be imposed on energy producers starting October 1, 2007, with revenue collected used for energy-efficiency programs including public transit. The tax rate for gasoline in Canadian currency was 0.8 cents per litre, or about $3.50 per tonne of  equivalent. The tax was also applied at 0.9 cents per litre of diesel fuel; 0.96 cents per litre of light heating oil; 1 cent per litre of heavy heating oil; 1.3 cents per litre of coke used in making steel; 0.5 cents per litre of propane; and $8 per tonne of coal. The proceeds were paid into a Green Fund, which will provided the resources for the implementation of the provincial climate change plan. A complete list of measures and details can be found in the official plan (2006-2012): Quebec and Climate Change -- A Challenge for the Future.

Quebec's carbon taxes have increased since the 2007 plan was introduced.  As part of an effort to discourage car use, there is a public transportation tax of 3.0 cents per litre in the case of gasoline sold in Montréal and surrounding municipalities. These currency figures are in Canadian dollars.

In Quebec, gasoline, diesel and propane taxes are reduced by varying amounts in certain remote areas and within 20 kilometres of the provincial and U.S. borders.

title: Jack Hood

text:
Jack Hood (17 December 1902 – 1 July 1992) was a British boxer who was British and European welterweight champion in the 1920s and 1930s.

Career

Early years
From Birmingham, "Gentleman" Jack Hood made his professional debut in September 1924 with a win over Joe Boswell. Undefeated in his first seven fights, he lost to Edouard Verret on a points decision in September 1925. He fought Verret again in January 1926, this time winning on points over twenty rounds. His next fight was a challenge for Harry Mason's British welterweight title, winning a controversial points decision over 20 rounds and earning a Lonsdale Belt. A rematch two months later ended in the same result. In 1926 he travelled to the United States for a series of fights with the aim of securing a shot at the world title, which included wins over Paul Doyle and Meyer Grace, a draw with Jimmy Jones, and a defeat to Jack Movey.

British and Empire middleweight titles
An undefeated run back in the UK, including a knock-out win over European middleweight champion Bruno Frattini and a points win over Belgian cruiserweight champion Louis Wustenrad, led to a fight in October 1929 with Len Harvey, with British and Empire middleweight titles and a £4,100 purse at stake; Harvey won, and retained his titles in a rematch in December after the fight was drawn.

Welterweight title
Hood's welterweight title was removed by the BBBofC in October 1931 after failing to defend the title. Over the next three years Hood fought with mixed success, including defeats to Harry Mason and Len Harvey, and two draws with Dave Shade and a draw with Vince Dundee, but in 1933 he got another shot at the British welterweight title against Stoker George Reynolds after initially turning down the fight as he deemed the £500 purse inadequate; Hood won with a ninth-round knockout to regain the title. This led to a European title fight against Adrien Anneet in May 1933, which Hood won when Anneet was disqualified in the third round for throwing low blows. The fight was subject to an inquiry by the International Boxing Union, which confirmed the result in December.

Final boxing years
Promoter Ted Salmon unsuccessfully tried to get Hood a fight with Young Corbett for the world welterweight title in 1933, and Hood filed a challenge with the New York State Athletic Commission in January 1934 for a world title fight with Jimmy McLarnin, but he didn't get a chance to challenge for the title. Hood lost to Len "Tiger" Smith in February 1934, the match postponed from January after Hood fell ill with influenza, subsequently announcing his retirement from boxing and relinquishing the British welterweight title, saying "We must all bow to the inevitable, and being no exception I realise that my best boxing days are now past." He returned, however, in October to fight Smith again, this time winning a points decision over 15 rounds, this proving to be his final fight. In an 11-year career he won 35 of 48 fights and in 6 defeats was only stopped once.

Hood's Lonsdale Belt sold at auction in 2011 for £36,000.

Retirement from boxing
Hood went on to run The Bell Inn, a public house, in Tanworth-in-Arden for 36 years.

Death
Jack Hood died on 1 July 1992, aged 89.

title: Rowing at the 1996 Summer Olympics – Men's single sculls

text:
The men's single sculls competition at the 1996 Summer Olympics took place at Lake Lanier, Atlanta, United States of America. The event was held from 21 to 27 July 1996. There were 21 competitors from 21 nations, with each nation limited to a single boat in the event. The event was won by Xeno Müller of Switzerland, the nation's first victory in the event and first medal of any color since 1960. Derek Porter's silver was Canada's best-ever result in the event, over bronze medals in 1912 and 1984. Two-time defending champion Thomas Lange of Germany settled with a bronze medal this time, becoming the fourth man to win three medals in the event.

Background

This was the 22nd appearance of the event. Rowing had been on the programme in 1896 but was cancelled due to bad weather. The single sculls has been held every time that rowing has been contested, beginning in 1900.

Five of the 22 single scullers from the 1992 Games returned: two-time gold medalist Thomas Lange of Germany, silver medalist Václav Chalupa of Czechoslovakia (now representing the Czech Republic), fifth-place finisher Jüri Jaanson of Estonia, sixth-place finisher Sergio Fernández González of Argentina, and thirteenth-place finisher Massimo Marconcini of Italy. The field was strong with no clear favorite. There were four World Champions competing in Atlanta: Lange (1987 and 1989), Jaanson (1990), Derek Porter of Canada (1993), and Iztok Čop of Slovenia (reigning, 1995). Chalupa was a four-time World silver medalist along with his 1992 Olympic silver. Fernández González was the reigning Pan American champion. Lange, Xeno Müller of Switzerland, and Jaanson had won the Diamond Challenge Sculls in 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.

The Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Russia, Slovenia, and Ukraine each made their debut in the event. The United States made its 18th appearance, most among nations.

Competition format

This rowing event was a single scull event, meaning that each boat was propelled by a single rower. The "scull" portion means that the rower used two oars, one on each side of the boat. The course used the 2000 metres distance that became the Olympic standard in 1912.

The tournament used the four-round format (three main rounds and a repechage) that had been used since 1968. The competition continued to use the six-boat heat standardized in 1960. The use of multiple classes of semifinals and finals to rank every boat, introduced in 1992, continued as well.

 Quarterfinals: Four heats of 5 or 6 boats each. The top boat in each heat (4 total) advanced directly to the "A/B" semifinals. The remaining boats (17 total) went to the repechage.
 Repechage: Four heats of 4 or 5 boats each. The top two boats in each heat (8 total) rejoined the quarterfinal winners in the "A/B" semifinals. The other boats (9 total) went to the "C/D" semifinals, where they were no longer competing for medals.
 Semifinals: Four semifinals. Two "A/B" semifinals of 6 boats each for boats still in contention for medals; the top three boats in each heat (6 total) advanced to Final A, the remaining boats (6 total) went to Final B. Two "C/D" semifinals were used to sort remaining boats into ranking finals with no chance of medals; the top three boats in each heat (6 total) went to Final C while the remaining boats (3 total) went to Final D.
 Final: Four finals. Final A consisted of the top 6 boats. Final B placed boats 7 through 12. Final C placed boats 13 through 18. Final D placed boats 19 through 21.

title: The Beatstalkers

text:
The Beatstalkers are a Glasgow beat group formed in the late 1960s. They were sometimes billed as "the Scottish Beatles", because of the hoards of screaming girls attending their concerts, and like other Scottish beat groups The Poets, The Athenians and The Pathfinders, specialised in covers of US hits.

History
In 1962, Alan Mair and Eddie Campbell formed the Glasgow band with a lineup including Davie Lennox on vocals, Eddie Campbell on guitar, Alan Mair on bass and ‘Tudge’ Williamson on drums (replaced by Jeff Allen). Later Ronnie Smith joined the group on rhythm guitar. Under the management of Joe Gaffney, the band went on to become Scotland's "top group" at the time. Their roadie was Joe's oldest son, William.

The group came to the attention of Decca Records in London after their riotous concert in George Square, Glasgow. However the band were unable to translate the same success they had in Scotland into success in England. They decided to split in 1969 after their van was stolen with all their equipment in it.

Alan Mair went on to play with the Only Ones and drummer Jeff Allen played with East of Eden. The Beatstalkers played a reunion concert on 23 December 2005 in Glasgow.

title: Ernie Price (English footballer)

text:
Ernest "Ernie" Price (12 May 1926 – 25 February 2013) was an English footballer who made 103 appearances in the Football League playing for Darlington and Crystal Palace in the years following the Second World War. A wing half, he began his career with Sunderland, but never represented that club in the League, and also played non-league football for Weymouth, Bideford and Taunton. He was player-manager of Taunton for several years.

Life and career
Price was born in Easington, County Durham, and worked as a police officer. He began his football career on the books of Sunderland, but never played for them in the Football League, and joined Third Division North club Darlington in 1948. After three seasons and 69 League appearances he signed for Crystal Palace of the Southern Section. He played around half of Palace's matches in the 1951–52 season, five the next, and then moved into non-league football in the south-west of England.

After brief spells with Weymouth and Bideford, Price was appointed player-manager of Western League Second Division club Taunton in 1954. In his second season, he led them to promotion to First Division as runners-up, and managed then for five more years in the bottom half of the higher division. He became a director of the club in 1982.

Price and wife Joyce had two children. He died in Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, Somerset, on 25 February 2013 at the age of 86.
