title: Ferencváros Stadion

text:
The Ferencváros Stadion, also known as the Groupama Aréna for sponsorship purposes, is a multi-purpose stadium in Ferencváros, Budapest, Hungary and the home of Ferencvárosi TC. With a capacity of 22,000, it was for a time the largest stadium in Hungary (between the demolition of the larger Ferenc Puskás Stadium in 2017 and the opening of the  Puskás Aréna in November 2019). It was built on the site of the former Flórián Albert Stadium, the club's previous home, which was demolished in 2013.

The French insurance group Groupama purchased the naming rights to the stadium. However, the name cannot be used when hosting FIFA and UEFA events, since these governing bodies have policies forbidding corporate sponsorship from companies that are not official tournament partners.

History

Planning
Since 1911, Ferencváros had played their home games at Stadion Albert Flórián, originally named Üllői úti Stadion. The stadium had had a major upgrade from 1971 to 1974, and in the 21st century the club desired a stadium with an expanded capacity. Reconstruction of Stadion Albert Flórián was rejected for financial reasons, and plans to demolish the stadium and replace it with an entirely new structure were presented at a press conference in April 2012 by Gábor Kubatov, the president of Ferencváros. The proposed capacity of 22,600 would make it the second biggest stadium in Hungary.

The new stadium would be reorientated 90° and closer to Gyáli út, with a pitch 10 cm below ground level. Corporate hospitality, a restaurant, shop and museum were all planned, along with expanded changing facilities.

Construction

Market építő Zrt won the tender to construct the stadium, with a projected cost of 13.5 billion Ft. Construction started on 28 March 2013, with an estimated completion time of autumn 2014.

On 24 May 2013, Balázs Fürjes, MP of the Hungarian Parliament and person responsible for the investment, announced that the stadium would be finished on time. The construction of the new stadium is expected to be completed by the fall of 2014. In 2013 there will be 5,4 billion HUF available for the project and 8,1 billion HUF in 2014. Mihály Varga, minister of national economy of Hungary, said that the sale of the estate, which will be gained by rotating the stadium by 90°, will cover the expenses of the stadium. If the construction is not completed on time, the constructor company (Market Épitő Zrt.) will have to pay 65 million HUF daily.

Melinda Várkonyi said that an 82-millimetre grenade was found at the building site of the new stadium. Allegedly the shell originates from a Soviet grenade launcher from the Second World War.

On 3 October 2013, Balázs Fürjes, MP of the Hungarian Parliament, said that the construction of the stadium is of record speed. It was quite sure that the club could start the 2014–15 Hungarian League season in the new stadium. The Ferencváros club centre was opened, where the fans of the club can take a look at the plans of the new stadium or a 3D film can be watched about the future stadium. Balázs Fürjes also pointed out that the new stadium will be a multi-purpose stadium where concerts, conferences, cultural events can be held apart from association football matches. He also mentioned that the elements of the old Albert stadium will be used for the construction of the new stadium. Therefore, it is a green investment for two reasons: for the colours of the club, and for the eco-friendly construction. The steel structure, which weighs 2800 tons, was made in Kecskemét while the concrete structure, which is 25,000 cubic metres, was made in Dunaújváros. The construction of the new stadium gives jobs for almost 2000 blue-collar workers.

On 17 January 2014, new photos about the new stadium were released on the Facebook site of the Albert Stadium.

On 18 April 2014, it was announced that a 3-metre-tall statue of Ferencváros Ballon d'Or winner Flórián Albert will be erected in front of the main entrance. Sándor Kligl, sculptor and artist, was asked to make the bronze statue. The artist also said that he saw playing the Ferencváros legend live and it was worth going to the stadium just because of him. He was commissioned with many different tasks but this has been the most special one in his life. Junior Flórián Albert said that it was a moving moment to look at his father statue.

In April 2014, Lagardère Unlimited Stadium Solutions, the dedicated agency for stadia and arena operations owned by Lagardère Unlimited, signed a long-term naming right contract with and French insurer Groupama. The deal includes the operation, management and marketing of the new arena. Lagardère Unlimited Stadium Solutions is currently involved in consulting, operations and marketing services in several stadiums worldwide, including Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt, Imtech Arena in Hamburg and two stadiums in Brazil. On 2 July 2014, it was announced that the name of the new stadium would be the Groupama Arena.

On 7 July 2014, it was announced that the first kick would be executed by Ferencváros legend, Ferenc Rudas.

It was revealed that one of the halls will be named after former Ferencváros and Barcelona legend László Kubala who played for Ferencváros between 1945 and 1946 and scored 33 goals in 50 matches.

On 4 August 2014, the first unofficial match was played at the stadium in front of 6,500 spectators. Ferencváros old-boys team including Szeiler, Dzurják, Lipcsei, Telek, and Lisztes hosted their arch-rival Újpest old-boys including Kovács, Szlezák, Fehér, Egressy, and Mészöly. The final result was 6–5 to Újpest. The tickets for free those supporters who purchased season tickets before the match and for the workers and their relatives who contributed to the construction of the new stadium.

On 10 August 2014, Ferencváros played the opening match against Chelsea F.C. The first goal at the new stadium was scored by Ferencváros Legened, Zoltán Gera in the 17th minute. However, in the second half Ramires (51st minute) and Fàbregas scored (81st minute) which resulted the 2–1 defeat at the new stadium for the home side.

On 10 August 2014, around 2,500 spectators belonging to the B Közép organised an alternative match at the stadium of BKV Előre SC in protest against the high entrance fees earmarked by the leadership of Ferencváros, the entrance security checks, and that Chelsea would play the opening match against Ferencváros and not the Austrian archrival Rapid Wien. The two teams included the supporters of Ferencváros and Rapid Wien.

On 24 August 2014, the first Hungarian League match was played at the stadium. Ferencváros beat Nyíregyháza 3–1. The first goal was scored by Busai in the 13th minute.

On 7 September 2014, Hungary played their first match at the stadium against Northern Ireland. The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier ended with a 2–1 away victory.

On 14 November 2014, Hungary won their first match at the new stadium by beating Finland 1–0 thanks to Gera's 84th-minute goal in the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier.

On 9 July 2015, Ferencváros played their first international match at the stadium against Dutch club Go Ahead Eagles in the second leg of the first qualifying round of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League, with Ferencváros winning 4–1.

On 20 May 2016 the first non-UEFA member was hosted in the stadium when Hungary played against Ivory Coast in a goalless friendly tier.

On 22 September 2017, it was announced that the first CONCACAF member to play at the stadium will be national team of Costa Rica.

The final of the 2018–19 UEFA Women's Champions League was held at the stadium on 18 May 2019.

The capacity of the arena is 23,800 for Nemzeti Bajnokság I and Magyar Kupa matches and 22,000 for UEFA and FIFA matches.

The area of the stadium is 19,042 square metres, including the pitch it is 28,746.5 square metres. The main building has four floors, and under it there is a three-level garage which can host 354 vehicles. There is a car park in front of the main building which can host 106 cars.

The construction took 14 months. During the construction 60 000 cubic metre was moved. The amount of the concrete used in the construction was 24 492 cubic metre, while the steel structure was 2708 tons. The steel structure was manufactured in Kecskemét, while the pre-fabricated concrete was made in Dunaújváros.

Construction costs
The stadium cost 53.3 million USD. The price per seat was 1,996 USD. In 2014, the arena was the fifth cost-per-seat building and sixth by price in Hungary. Nagyerdei Stadion of Debrecen overtook in cost, but not in cost-per-seat.

Tenants

title: Sibonelo Mngometulu

text:
Sibonelo Mngometulu (born 16 June 1969), known as Inkhosikati LaMbikiza, is the senior queen consort and third wife of King Mswati III of Eswatini. Sibonelo married Mswati III in 1986, becoming the first wife he personally chose to marry, following two ceremonious marriages. She is the mother of Princess Sikhanyiso Dlamini and Prince Lindani Dlamini.

Although not permitted to practice law due to her status as a royal, she has a law degree from the University of South Africa and serves as a legal advisor to the king. As royal consort, Sibonelo serves a patron of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology and the Eswatini chapter of the Heal the World Foundation. She is the founder and director of multiple charitable organizations that champion public health and education. She has accompanied the king on various international visits, including the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012, the United States–Africa Leaders Summit in 2014, and the Coronation of Charles III and Camilla in 2023.

Early life and marriage
Sibonelo Mngometulu was born on 16 June 1969, the daughter of the diplomat Mbikiza Mngometulu, who served as the Eswatini Ambassador to the United Kingdom. She is a member of the Mngometulu tribe, descending from the Sotho people in South Africa. She was educated at St. Mary's School and St. Mark's School in Mbabane.

When Sibonelo was sixteen years old, she met Prince Makhosetive of Swaziland while performing in the annual reed dance. Shortly after, when she was seventeen, Prince Makhosetive was crowned as King Mswati III and chose her to be his wife. She dropped out of school upon her marriage. Mswati III had two other wives, Inkhosikati laMatsebula and Inkhosikati LaMotsa, who were ceremoniously chosen by the royal family, but she was the first wife to be personally chosen by the king.

She took up residence at the Nkoyoyo Royal Palace in Mbabane and at the Ludzidzini Royal Village.

Sibonelo has two children with the king, Princess Sikhanyiso Dlamini and Prince Lindani Dlamini.

Royal consort
Sibonelo is Mswati III's senior wife. As a royal consort, Sibonelo has championed and promoted Christian causes, poverty-reduction, women's rights, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, reducing maternal mortality rates, maternal health, public health, and human rights in Eswatini. Despite being in a polygamous marriage, she has been an outspoken critic of polygamy.

She is the first Swazi queen to continue her education after marrying the king. Sibonelo compelted a law degree from the University of South Africa. Although qualified to practice law in Eswatini, she is not permitted to do so as the royal family object to the idea of her working a common profession, and because a royal involved in law is seen as a potential disruption to the judicial process, as judges may change rule in favor of cases presented by the queen. Despite not practicing law, she does serve as the legal advisor to the king.

In 2012, she accompanied her husband to the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.

In August 2014, she and her husband attended the United States–Africa Leaders Summit, where they met with U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House.

In 2023, she accompanied her husband King Mswati III to the Coronation of King Charles III in London. While in London, she and her husband joined other leaders of the Commonwealth States for a discussion on the Commonwealth Heads of State and Government's declaration of 2023 as the "Year of the Youth". She also patrook in an event for spouses of Commonwealth leaders where they discussed treatments and prevention for cervical cancer.

Royal patronages and charity work
She is the founder of the Lusito Charity Organization, a South-African charitable foundation that provides financial assistance to people living in poverty and pays for orphaned children to receive an education. She is also the director of the Swazi Royal Initiative to Combat AIDS and the director of Tisite, a charity that helps care workers.

In July 2013, Sibonelo was appointed as the honorary patron of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology and the Eswatini chapter of the Heal the World Foundation.

Controversies
In 2001, Mswati III fell ill and Sibonelo was accused by rivals in the royal family of poisoning him. She fled to London, where her father was serving in the Eswatini High Commission to the United Kingdom. After his recovery, her husband went to visit her in London and the two returned together to Eswatini.

On 19 January 2022, Sibonelo and her daughter, Princess Sikhanyiso, were admitted to the Mbabane Clinic for gastroenteritis. Amid allegations of poisoning circulating due to a power struggle within the Eswatini royal family, an investigation opened to ascertain whether Siobelo and her daughter had been poisioned or ill due to natural causes. Mayibongwe Masangane, the Secretary General of the Swaziland Democratic Nurses Union, criticized the royal family upon the queen and princess's admittance to the hospital, stating: "[The monarchy] destroyed the health system and now they are rushing to such clinics because they can afford the bills. Unlike in public hospitals, drugs and other working equipment is always available in such clinics because that’s where the rich and powerful are treated."

In August 2022, Sibonelo was allegedly assaulted by her husband after she questioned him about the paternity of their grandson, Prince Phikolezwe. Percy Simelane, the king's spokesperson, commented to the press that he is responsible for the public image of the king, not private matters, and claimed that any inquirary about domestic abuse within the royal family would be an invasion of the king's privacy. The political activist Lucky Lukhele, who serves as spokesperson of the Swaziland Solidarity Network, confirmed with media outlets that he was made aware of the king assaulting Sibonelo and confirmed that one of the king's late wives, Nothando Dube, had sent him photographs as evidence of the king assaulting her. Lukhele said, "I am aware that LaMbikiza was assaulted by Mswati and she lost her teeth in the process. Other queens are suffering at the hands of the king, he doesn’t want them to socialise with men that he sees as competitors, he has a low self-esteem." Sibonelo allegedly flew to South Africa on 15 August 2022 to receive dental implants after the assault.

Personal life
Sibonelo is religious, as a practicing Christian, and was the first Swazi queen to record a gospel album.

In 2007, she was featured in the documentary film Without the King, which followed political and social issues in Eswatini.

In 2017, she earned a degree in graphic design from the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology.

title: The Historian's Craft

text:
The Historian's Craft () is a 1949 book by Marc Bloch and first published in English in 1953 (New York: Knopf). It was the first of his works to be translated into English. At that stage he was not as well known in the English-speaking world as he was to be in the 1960s where his works on feudal society and rural history were published. The book was written in 1941 and 1942. Bloch joined the French Resistance prior to its completion.

Content
The work explores the craft of the historian from a number of different angles and discusses what constitutes history and how it should be configured and created in literary form by the historian. The scope of the work is broad across space and time: in one chapter, for instance, he cites a number of examples of erroneous history-writing and forgeries, citing sources as wide-ranging as the Commentaries of Julius Caesar and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.  His approach is one that is configured not for those who are necessarily professional historians themselves (members of what he referred to as "the guild") but instead for all interested readers and non-specialists.

Bloch also expressed the viewpoint that the craft of the historian should not be a judgmental one – that the historian should attempt to explain and describe rather than evaluate in normative terms. At one stage in the work, Bloch observes that "the mania for making judgments" is a "satanic enemy of true history".

Reaction

The Historian's Craft has been described as unrepresentative of his historical approach in that they discuss contemporary events in which Bloch was personally involved and without access to primary sources. Along with the unfinished Strange Defeat, it was published posthumously in 1949. The historian Rees Davies has described The Historian's Craft as "beautifully sensitive and profound"; the book was written in response to his son, Étienne, asking, "Tell me, Daddy. What is the use of history?". Addressing fellow historian and close friend Lucien Febvre "by way of a dedication", Bloch wrote:

This game features magical girl characters from anime television series produced by Toei Animation from 1966 to 1981, and created by manga artists including Mitsuteru Yokoyama (Sally the Witch), Go Nagai (Cutie Honey), and Fujio Akatsuka (Himitsu no Akko-chan).

Sally Yumeno from the 1966 anime Mahou Tsukai Sally
Atsuko Kagami from the 1969 anime Himitsu no Akko-chan
Chappy the Witch from the 1972 anime Mahō Tsukai Chappy

title: Sacred Rock of Hunza

text:
The Sacred Rocks of Hunza or Haldeikish is one of the earliest sites of Petroglyphs along the ancient Silk Route. It is a cultural heritage site in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The carvings on the rocks dates back to the 1st Millennium AD.

The rock is situated on a top of a hill which lies to the east of the Hunza River. The site is located on the main Karakoram Highway (KKH), positioned between the Ganish village and the Attabad Lake.  In times past, it was accessible via well-worn stone steps and harbored a collection of Buddhist cave shelters. However, due to the harsh weather conditions and the passage of time in this mountainous area, many of these shelters have deteriorated, leaving only a few preserved examples. The rocks are one of the major tourist attractions in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

Location
The Sacred Rocks (Haldeikish) are situated between the Hunza River and the Karakorum Highway and a five minutes drive from the UNESCO enlisted village of Ganish, near the town of Karimabad in Hunza Valley. The rock is 180 metres in length and 9 metres at their highest point. It consists of four main boulders with two stages/portions of rock engravings and carvings. It is easily accessible from the Karakoram Highway which connects Pakistan to China via metallic road. It is an isolated rock which is further divided into two portions.

Haldeikish
The name Haldeikish translates to ‘a place of many male Ibex’, with engravings of Ibex scattered along the rock faces, a message to all travellers that wild Ibex were plentiful in this area.

Haldeikish has thousands of petroglyphs in Bactrian , Sogdian, Kharoshti, Tibetan, Chinese and Brahmi written by the Silk Route's 'many' travelers. These petroglyphs show the diverse cultural exchange that once passed through the Hunza region and helped us to understand the history of this entire region from the first millennium CE.

Specifications
The Sacred Rock is divided into two portions, an upper portion and a lower one. Both the portions carry carvings on them which are basically inscriptions and images from Pre-Historic era. There used to be many Buddhist shelter caves in ancient times which later collapsed or fell over the time only some being preserved.

Upper Portion
The upper portion of the rock consist of inscriptions which are carved in Sogdian, Kharosthi, Brahmi, Sarada and Proto Sarada languages. The  names of the Emperors of the Kushan Empire Kanishka and Huvishka appear in these inscriptions. The name of the Trukha King Ramadusa is also mentioned in inscriptions which are carved in the Brahmi script.

Lower Portion
The lower portion is engraved by the images of Ibexes. These ibexes are shown in different situations, including being hunted. The carvings also contain Horned-Human deities playing with the ibexes. The carvings of the Ibexes are a proof of the ibex being an animal which holds cultural importance to Buddhists as well as to the region in ancient times. One of the carvings also shows the image of an ancient Chinese King. Some carvings show a Tibetan styled Stupa.

Inscription mentioning Chandragupta II
The inscription mentioning Chandragupta II of Gupta empire reads ''Chandra Sri Vikramaditya conquers’' with a date corresponding to 419 AD. If Chandra is identified with Chandragupta, it appears that Chandragupta marched through the Punjab region, and advanced up to the country of the Vahlikas, that is, Balkh in present-day Afghanistan. The Sanskrit inscriptions at the Sacred Rock of Hunza, written in Gupta script, mention the name Chandra. A few of these inscriptions also mention the name Harishena, and one particular inscription mentions Chandra with the epithet "Vikramaditya". Based on the identification of "Chandra" with Chandragupta, and Harishena with the Gupta courtier Harishena, these inscriptions can be considered as further evidence of a Gupta military campaign in the area. However, this identification is not certain, and Chandra of the Hunza inscriptions could have well been a local ruler.

Preservation
The Sacred Rock of Hunza is a Cultural Heritage Site of Pakistan and is currently well preserved but still some the carvings carrying inscriptions are effected due to aging. There were many Buddhist shelter caves which fell over time and only few being preserved. Commissioner of Northern Areas of Pakistan and Director of Archaeology are responsible for the preservation of the site, both acting under the Government of Pakistan. Due to recent flooding in Hunza River the site faces extreme danger in future.

title: Myer J. Newmark

text:
Myer Joseph Newmark (1838–1911) was the youngest city attorney in the history of Los Angeles, California, and was active in the affairs of that city in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Personal

Background

Newmark was born in 1838 in New York City, the son of Joseph Newmark of Germany and Rosa Levy Newmark of England. The second of six children, Myer Newmark received his primary education first in New York and then in England, where he lived with his mother's parents. He returned to New York at age 13. He attended Columbia College in New York, and he also spent 18 months in a lawyer's office, studying law.

In December 1852, the family of two adults and six children followed the Gold Rush of 1849 by way of Cape Horn  to California and arrived there in April 1853. The Newmarks moved to Los Angeles in 1857, but young Myer, at age 16, returned to San Francisco until he was 19, when he went back to Los Angeles.

He and Sophie Cahen, a "recent French emigrant," were married on June 7, 1874, in the San Francisco residence of the bride's parents. The ceremony was "conducted by Joseph Newmark. Esq., father of the groom, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Eckman." The couple had three children, the first being a daughter, Sophie, born in Los Angeles in 1879 and married on September 11, 1902, to Alfred Sutro, nephew of Adolph Sutro of San Francisco. They also had a son, Henry M.(Myer) Newmark, and a younger daughter Rosa Newmark.

For three years, he and his family lived in Nice, France.

Newmark died in San Francisco on May 10, 1911, after an illness of two days.

Attributes

A Los Angeles Herald reporter wrote in 1900 that Newmark at the age of 62 was "under medium height," with "clear, gray eyes," who "betrays nervous energy in every movement. He is a restless being—one of those high-strung men who must ever be on the move. Five minutes of actual repose would be actual punishment to him. . . . That he ever managed to hold himself down to the plodding drudgery of his books long enough to master the dry details of law is a mystery  . . . ."

Avocation

Private enterprise

As a young adult in San Francisco, Newmark "embarked, in a boyish way, in mercantile pursuits," then sold his business for enough cash to enable him to study law independently in Los Angeles. He was admitted to practice in the local courts when he was 21 and to the California Supreme Court at age 22.

He formed his first partnership with Edward J. C. Kewen and his second with Joseph Lancaster Brent, but Brent left to fight with the Confederates at the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War, so Newmark linked up with Volney E. Howard. In May 1862, Newmark was elected Los Angeles city attorney; he thus became the youngest person who would ever serve in that position. He resigned in September 1862 to open a law practice in Nevada.

Newmark next practiced law in San Francisco, with Henry J. Labatt and Robert T. Payne, until 1865, "when he retired because of pressing business interests," those including a six-year stint in New York City, where he bought and sold goods for California enterprises.

In 1871 Newmark went into business in Los Angeles with Harris Newmark, and in 1874 he was operating a wholesale grocery and hardware establishment on Los Angeles Street near First.

By 1895, Newmark had returned to Los Angeles and joined with Kaspare Cohn in a firm that handled wool and hides on commission.

Public service

When Newmark was in Los Angeles in 1857 at age 19 he was active as a member of the Mechanics Institute, and he "was instrumental in organizing the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce," becoming its president in 1900.

Newmark, along with William H. Workman, Samuel Foy and others, helped to open a public reading room of donated books at Arcadia and Los Angeles streets, which became the forerunner of the Los Angeles Public Library. He was on the board of trustees of the library from 1899 to 1901.

A Democrat, Newmark was appointed United States consul in Nice, France, in 1888 under the Grover Cleveland administration and remained there three years.

In July 1898 Newmark was elected one of the fifteen members of a commission to draft a new city charter for Los Angeles, and in 1903 he was appointed by the county Board of Supervisors to be a member of a commission to investigate the possibility of merging the city with the county. He declined, stating that he was "in sympathy with the movement" but could not attend the organizational meeting. In 1902 he was part of a movement for a state constitutional amendment that would provide for "a system of direct legislation, state, county and municipal."

In 1900 Newmark was on a committee working to establish a Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, and three years later he was working to find a site for a proposed convention hall in the city.

Diary

When Newmark, then about 12 years old, sailed to California with his family from New York City, he kept a diary he titled "Incidents of a Voyage from New York to San Francisco around Cape Horn in the good ship Carrington, F.B. French Commander. Commenced Dec 15, 1852. Ended April 20th 1853."  The work was donated to the Southwest Museum by Henry M. Newmark before 1931. The original pages were pasted onto linen and tipped into a leather-bound volume.

title: Bikini a Go-Go

text:
Bikini a Go-Go is a 2004 American made-for-cable erotic film directed by Fred Olen Ray. It is also known by the alternate name Curse of the Erotic Tiki.

Plot

Brad runs a surf shop on the beach and is in a relationship with Janet. Brad gives his girlfriend an anniversary gift: a tiki amulet that causes seemingly sexual desires for the wearer. Unknown to them, however, the amulet actually belongs to the evil sorceress, Darvella, who does everything she can to steal it back for herself.

Background
The film was produced by the production company American Independent Productions and is distributed by Retromedia Entertainment. It was broadcast several times in Summer 2005 at fixed times and on demand on the premium channels Cinemax and Showtime.

The use of the names "Brad" and "Janet" appears to be an obvious reference to the infamous film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which featured a couple named Brad and Janet in pivotal roles.

Reception
The Video Vacuum gave the film three stars and praised addition to the general performance of the actors, especially the first scene of the movie with Stacy Burke and Cailey Taylor. In addition, positive evaluations were given by Dr. Gore's Movie Reviews.

title: Jim Toman

text:
James Michael Andrew Toman (born November 28, 1961) is an American college baseball coach and former player. He had been head coach of Liberty from the 2008 season until 2016. Under Toman, Liberty has qualified for two NCAA tournaments. He also served as the head coach of the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (2019–2022).

Playing career
Toman, a 1985 graduate of NC State, played baseball for the Wolfpack from 1981–1984.  He served as a team captain in 1983 and 1984 and was named to the All-Tournament Team at the 1984 ACC tournament. His teammates included Doug Davis, Dan Plesac, Doug Strange, and Tracy Woodson. When Woodson became the head coach at Richmond ahead of the 2014 season, the two coached against each other.

Coaching career

Assistant positions
After graduating, Toman worked as a high school coach for several years before starting his college coaching career in 1989 with a one-year stint at FIU. From 1989 to 1991 he was the pitching coach of the Brewster Whitecaps, a collegiate summer baseball team in the Cape Cod Baseball League. Toman returned to his alma mater to serve as an assistant to Ray Tanner at NC State; he held the position from 1990–1996.  When Tanner left for South Carolina for the 1997 season, Toman went with him and worked as an assistant for the Gamecocks from 1997–2007. In 2002, he was named the ABCA/Baseball America Assistant Coach of the Year.

Liberty
Toman left South Carolina to become the head coach at Liberty for the 2008 season.  At his introductory press conference, Toman said, "I am very honored and excited to accept the head coaching position at Liberty University. My wife and family are also very excited to join the Liberty family and work in a Christian environment. I have enjoyed my 11 years at the University of South Carolina and take away many fond memories. I appreciate the opportunity Ray Tanner gave me to be a member of his staff. I am ready to get started on putting a quality staff together and continuing to move the program forward, having success both in conference and nationally."

From 2008–2014, Toman's first seven seasons, Liberty won at least 30 games each year and at least 40 games three times.  After losing in the Big South championship game in 2008, 2010, and 2012, the Flames reached their first NCAA tournament under Toman in 2013.  In the Big South tournament, which Liberty hosted at the newly built Liberty Baseball Stadium, the Flames went 4–0 to win the championship; in the championship game, Liberty defeated top-seeded Campbell, 2–1, after an Ashton Perritt RBI single broke a 1–1 tie in the top of the ninth.  At the Columbia Regional, the Flames went 2–2, beating second-seeded Clemson twice and losing to host South Carolina twice.

In 2014, Liberty qualified for the NCAA tournament with an at-large bid.  The Flames won the Big South's North Division and swept the conference's major awards, with Toman winning Coach of the Year.  At the Charlottesville Regional, the team went 0–2, losing games to Arkansas and Bucknell.

In 2011, Liberty set a Big South record with seven draftees.  In 2012, the Flames had two players drafted in the top ten rounds.

On June 24, 2016 Toman resigned from Liberty as their baseball coach.

After Liberty
On August 4, 2017, it was announced that Toman would become the assistant head coach for the College of Charleston Cougars baseball team.

Middle Tennessee
On June 20, 2018, Toman was named the head coach of the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders baseball program.

In August 2022, a few weeks after being arrested on suspicion driving while intoxicated in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Toman resigned as MTSU's head coach.

title: Salvatore Petruolo

text:
Salvatore Petruolo (January 4, 1857 in Catanzaro, Kingdom of the Two Sicilies – 1946 in Naples, Italy), was an Italian painter.

Petruolo was a pupil of Gabriele Smargiassi at the Institute of Fine Arts in Naples. He is famous for his coastal landscapes, near Naples and very rare landscapes of Calabria. His landscapes from 1875 to 1898 show the style of the School of Posillipo with influences of Edoardo Dalbono. After 1898 his painting style became more personal and distinctive, with a symbolist influence.

He was popular with English and American visitors to Naples. His studio was visited by people including Empress Frederick, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Prince of Battenberg, Princess Louise, sister of King Edward of England. In 1889 he stayed with Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh at Malta for three months. He went on a painting trip to Spain visiting Granada, Seville, Cordoba and Zaragoza. He showed the works from this trip in an exhibition at Clarence House in London.

title: Equality Hawaii

text:
Equality Hawaii was a statewide political advocacy organization in Hawaii that advocated for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights, including same-sex marriage.

History
Equality Hawaii was founded as Family Equality Coalition on November 16, 2007, as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation. It was founded based on community and expert input at the organization's first meeting in September 2007 after a civil unions bill was attempted in February 2007. The organization made an early commitment to advocating for same-sex marriage in Hawaii. The first general membership meeting was held in partnership with UNITE HERE Local 5 and featured Cleve Jones. In 2010, the board elected to change its name to Equality Hawaii to reflect its scope expanding beyond just same-sex marriage.

Originally named Family Equality Foundation, Equality Hawaii Foundation (EHF) was founded on October 27, 2009 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. While its 501(c)(3) application was being approved by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the organization was fiscally sponsored by the Equality Federation Institute. This allowed the organization to immediately pursue grant funding. The organization received its official designation from the IRS on June 5, 2011.

Equality Hawaii Action Fund was founded August 13, 2010, as a 527 organization. It was formed in response to Governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle vetoing a 2010 civil unions bill; opponents of legal recognition of same-sex relationships had made public pledges to remove from office any legislators who supported civil unions; and Gubernatorial candidates Mufi Hannemann and Duke Aiona were promising to not only veto any future civil unions legislation, but put the issue on the ballot.

Equality Hawaii was a founding member and fiscal agent of Hawaii United for Marriage, a coalition of organizations that advocated for the Hawaii Marriage Equality Act, which was signed into law on November 13, 2013, by Governor Neil Abercrombie, and same-sex couples began marrying on December 2, 2013.

From 2013 to 2016, Equality Hawaii worked to pass key legislation to empower and protect Hawaii’s LGBTQ community, enabling transgender people to change the gender identity maker on official documents and preventing health insurers from discriminating against them. In 2016 Equality Hawaii formed a strategic alliance to share networks and resources with the Hawaii LGBT Legacy Foundation, an organization dedicated to unifying, facilitating and empowering Hawaii’s LGBTQ community.

Equality Hawaii ceased operations in January 2017.

Structure
Equality Hawaii is often used to describe three separate organizations:
 Equality Hawaii — a 501(c)(4) organization
 Equality Hawaii Foundation — a 501(c)(3) organization
 Equality Hawaii Action Fund — a 527 organization

title: Cabin Ben

text:
Cabin Ben is a historic log house at 115 Cullasaja Drive in Highlands, North Carolina.  The house consists of two rectangular sections, joined at an offset.  The smaller of the two sections houses a large living room, while the larger section houses the kitchen, dining, and bedroom areas.  The house was designed by Clemson University professor of architecture Rudolph Edward Lee for a family friend, Miss Anne England, and was built in 1932 by Joe Webb, a locally prominent builder of log houses.  It is a relatively unaltered example of Webb's work, having been designed to house relatively large family gatherings.  It has remained in the hands of England descendants.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

title: Goher Mumtaz

text:
Goher Mumtaz () is a Pakistani musician, singer-songwriter, music composer, guitarist and actor. He is famous for being the founding member of the rock band, Jal.
Children= 1 (Muhammad Sulaiman Goher)

Early life
Goher was born in Lahore. As a child, Goher practiced music on a keyboard which he got as a gift. At 16, he sold his bike to buy his first guitar which he hid under his bed due to parent's restrictions.

After his high school exams, Goher suffered an accident and was confined to bed for six months. This gave him time and space to grasp every note in the music that he listened to. With no formal training, Goher taught himself composition, song writing and singing. Later, he won in many college-level music competitions and gained momentum by performing at local restaurants in Lahore. He was inspired by Pakistani Bands Junoon and Vital Signs, and wanted to form a band of his own like them.

Personal life
Since 2016 he's married to Anum Ahmed, who made her acting debut with him in the 2016 Hum TV drama Kathputli, and who's interested in filmmaking as well.

Formation of Jal
Goher and Atif Aslam were college fellows and they used to sing in college concerts. They thought to form a band and released their first song "Aadat" on the Internet. The song was written and composed by Goher and sung by Atif. By the time the song was released it became a major hit in the subcontinent and all radio and TV stations started playing that song.

After the major hit, "Aadat", Goher &andAtif started getting concert queries, they then decided to give a proper name to their band, so they named it Jal (water in Urdu) and performed in various concerts with this name and line-up of Goher on ugitars and Atif on vocals.

Later on Atif, left the band because of some differences and he pursued his solo career, while Goher formed the new line-up and brought Farhan Saeed on vocals and Amir Sheraz (Shazi) on bass. With this new line-up Jal released their first studio album Aadat in 2003. The album was a major hit in both Pakistan and India and won various awards. With the same line-up, Jal released Boondh in 2007, and again it was a major hit and the band won many awards. They performed in numerous concerts with the same line-up. Jal also performed two songs in Coke Studio (Pakistan) in season 4.

In 2011, Farhan Saeed left the band because of some personal differences. Therefore, Goher took the position of lead vocalist and brought Saad Sultan on lead guitar .

Jal released album Pyass worldwide in 2013 and performed in many concerts with this line-up. The album was nominated as best album of the year in Hum Awards and Lux Style Awards.

Brand ambassador of Gibson Guitar
Goher Mumtaz became the first brand ambassador of Gibson Guitar Corporation in the subcontinent. It was a unique achievement and he gained it because of his exceptional guitar skills and composition of melodies which changed the course of pop music in the subcontinent.

Goher Mumtaz as lead vocalist of Jal

After the departure of Farhan Saeed Goher took the charge of vocalist of his band, in the beginning he faced criticism regarding his vocal abilities but after performing in various concerts with more than 20 songs in each concert, Mumtaz proved himself fully capable of taking charge of his band as lead singer. Jal's third studio album was released and all the songs were sung by Goher himself except one song, "Dil Ki Baat", which was sung by Shazi.

Later on he released many singles in his own voice and mesmerized his fans with his voice. "Tery Baajon", "Laiyan Laiyan" and "Ooncha" were super hit songs in Goher`s own voice. His fans used to like him as lyricist, composer and guitarist but after these songs they started liking him as singer as well.

Acting career

Due to his looks and performances in music videos Goher was approached by many directors and was offered many roles of TV Dramas. Initially, he rejected all the offers as he wanted to give his full attention to music only but after so many requests he signed his first drama Kountry Love starring Mawra Hocane, Urwa Hocane and other various artists of Pakistani drama industry.

After receiving overwhelming response Goher took his acting career seriously and signed another serial Tanhai for Hum TV.

After that he has been acting in dramas which are being aired on Geo TV, Hum TV, and ARY Digital. The roles played by him got much fame in social media specially the character Sameer who was a music teacher in drama serial Uff Yeh Mohabbat and his negative character of Adil in Ghayal.

In 2017, Goher signed another TV serial called Faisala along with Sonia Mishal, which aired on ARY Digital. He is playing the lead role of a very nice guy Asad in this drama. Goher has alson written, composed and sung OST of the song which is named with serial title that is "Faisla".

Patriotic songs
Goher has immense love for his country Pakistan and that love can easily be seen from the number of songs he has dedicated to his country and Pakistan Armed Forces. He dedicated his song "Tu Qadam Berhaye Ja" to the victims of the Army Public School massacre and armed forces of Pakistan. He also released a song "Ooncha", which was dedicated to Pakistan Air Force. Earlier, Jal had released a song "Ye Mera Pakistan", which was another patriotic song.

Big screen debut
Goher Mumtaz amazed his fans in his guest appearance in Pakistani film Lahore Se Aagey along with Ali Zafar. Though it was only a guest appearance but also it was first ever film appearance. The main cast of film includes Saba Qamar and Yasir Hussain.

title: Deltana Platform

text:
The Deltana Platform lies offshore, on the platform of the Orinoco delta about 90 km northeast of the island Tobejuba in the state  Delta Amacuro, and approximately 233 km southeast of Güiria, Sucre State, Venezuela.

Water Depths and  Topografhy of Bottom

The water depths range from about 66 m in the southwest up to 308 m in the northeast, with an average slope of approximately 0.4% (0.25 grades) to the east-northeast.  The relief of the seabed is generally irregular and includes frequent scarps related with faulting and erosion.

Geology

The seabed in general is composed mainly of very soft clays. The geologic features in this area include normal faults with northwest-southeast orientation, a system of exposed and buried reefs that cross the area from the

northwest toward the southeast, gas pockets trapped in faults and shallow strata at different levels of depth, paleo-channels, abrupt erosional slopes and scarps associated with submarine debris flows and faulting.  Several side scan sonar  targets are interpreted as scattered small debris.

title: Ynyslwyd Chapel, Aberdare

text:
Ynyslwyd Chapel, Aberdare was a Baptist chapel in Sunny Bank Place, located between Aberaman and Aberdare. It was formed as a branch of Calfaria, Aberdare.

Early history
Ynyslwyd was established in 1858 as a Sunday school although meetings were previously held in the long room of the Albion Inn, Cardiff Road, Aberaman, Aberaman. As with neighbouring chapels, including Gwawr, Aberaman, evidence suggests there was a closer link between early nonconformist chapels and public houses than has been thought. The chapel was built in 1862 by David Morgan of Treorchy and named Ynyslwyd after the estate which owned the land. The first minister was Thomas Davies.

Later history
In 1935, T.E. Thomas came to Ynyslwyd from Nazareth, Blaenllechau, a church in the Rhondda Valley that Ynyslwyd played a role in its establishment many years before.

The chapel closed in 1996 and was demolished in 1998.

The Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau (CGMPB; ), founded as the Exhibits and Publicity Bureau, was the film production agency of the Government of Canada administered by the Department of Trade and Commerce, and intended to promote trade and industry. Created in 1918, it was the first government film production organization in the world.

Its purpose, according to the Minister of Trade and Commerce, was "advertising abroad Canada's scenic attractions, agricultural resources and industrial development," and much of its production was devoted to producing travelogues and industrial films.

It also produced early Canadian documentaries such as Lest We Forget (1935), a compilation film (using newsreel footage with staged sequences) recounting Canada's role in the First World War, written, directed, and edited by Frank Badgley, the director of the Bureau from 1927 to 1941; and The Royal Visit (1939), also co-written and edited by Badgley, which documented the 1939 royal tour of Canada by King George VI and his consort, Queen Elizabeth.

History
The CGMPB was created in September 1918 by an order in council as the Exhibits and Publicity Bureau.

Its first success was a bi-weekly series of short informational films called Living Canada, which began production in 1919 and was distributed theatrically throughout Canada and abroad. By 1920, the Bureau maintained the largest studio and post-production facility in Canada. On 1 April 1923, it was renamed the Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau.

The Bureau was in its prime during the period of 1920 to 1931, when it had the largest and best equipped film studio in Canada and distributed its films throughout Canada and the Commonwealth, as well as in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Argentina, Chile, Japan, China, and the United States. At its peak in 1927, it had over one thousand prints circulating in the United States alone.

Into the 1930s, the Bureau began to see a decline, as its films were bland and of poor quality; it lacked a national policy, it was falling behind Associated Screen News of Canada, technologically and in terms of distribution. Underfunding and mismanagement made it difficult to invest in the arrival of sound film, and the Bureau continued to produce silent films until 1934.

By this time, government ministries began producing their own promotional films, usually using outside contractors rather than relying on the CGMPB. Most Canadian films during this decade were produced by the CGMPB or Associated Screen News, which was funded by the Canadian Pacific Railway and highly profitable in its own right. As such, concerns began to arise over the domination of American films in Canadian theatres.

In February 1936, a report written by Ross McLean, secretary of Vincent Massey, the Canadian High Commissioner in London, recommended an in-depth study of the government's production of promotional films and suggested the name of acclaimed British documentary filmmaker John Grierson. In 1938, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King heeded the report, agreeing that Canadian cinema deserves an increased presence in Canadian theatres; he commissioned Grierson thereafter to review the situation and make recommendations. This became the basis of the National Film Act (1939), written by Grierson himself, and the creation of the National Film Commission (later the National Film Board of Canada, or NFB), which Grierson modeled after Associated Screen News. Production and distribution of national films would be taken care of by this new organization, which coordinated the cinematographic activities of all the ministries; the CGMPB, on the other hand, would be in charge of the films' technical production.

In June 1940, Grierson recommended merging the CGMPB and the NFB. The two agencies coexisted for nearly another two years until 1941, when this consolidation took place and the NFB finally absorbed the CGMPB.

title: Living Your Life

text:
Living Your Life is the third and final studio album from British new wave musician Belouis Some. It was released in Germany in 1993.

Background
Living Your Life was Belouis Some's first studio album in six years, and would also be his last. After finding differing levels of commercial success with the albums Some People (1985) and Belouis Some (1987), Belouis Some decided to form a band. In 1989 he formed The Big Broadcast, and the band toured the UK playing small venues and clubs. However the group never made any recorded releases. Living Your Life was recorded after a long absence. The album, as described by Allmusic, blended contemporary pop with harder-edged techno. The album was produced for Kickstart Music Ltd, and recorded at Marcus Recording Studios in London, between February–April 1993. It was mastered at Transfermation, and produced in London by Geoff Dugmore and Nigel Butler (although "Sometimes" and "Total Control" were both produced by Robin Goodfellow). Some musicians appearing on the album included Karl Hyde, Steve Barnacle, Peter Oxendale, and J.J. Belle.

Belouis Some solely wrote six of the album tracks. Peter Oxendale co-wrote "Sometimes" with him, and Dugmore and Butler co-wrote "Wonderful Life" with Belouis Some. The album's closing track, "Total Control", is a cover of the 1979 song by the Motels, written by Jeff Jourard and Martha Davis.

The album, released in Germany only, was not a commercial success. It did spawn two singles, but they were also commercial failures. "Something She Said", the lead single, was released by Arista and BMG in the UK and Germany. "Sometimes" was released by Some Music LTD and BMG in the UK and Germany as the second single. In addition to these two singles, a promotional CD single was released by BMG Ariola to promote the album. "Living Your Life" was the featured track, and three other album tracks were included. Belouis Some would not release any new material after the album, except for one single in 1995. This was "Let Me Love You for Tonight", released in the UK only.

Release
The album was issued via BMG Ariola München GmbH on CD in Germany only. The CD remains out-of-print today, and the album itself has not been made available as an official MP3 download.

Track listing

Critical reception

In the Billboard magazine of 30 July 1994, one article under the Dance Trax section mentioned the album and the single "Sometimes". Writer Larry Flick stated, "Belouis Some is out to prove that there is life beyond mid-'80s dance/pop stardom. "Sometimes" [is] a dark and jangly mover. Some's voice has developed a worldly edge to his intelligent lyrics. "Sometimes" is an enticing peek into Living Your Life, an album that gingerly walks the line between hardcore dance and smooth urban pop. Among the standouts are the languid "Birthday in Paradise" and the stomping "New World". Open your mind and give a listen." Music & Media wrote: "This British new rock artist returns to the scene with possibly his strongest effort to date. Strong melodies abound, as well as imaginative and energetic arrangements."

In a review of the album's lead single "Something She Said", Andrew Hirst of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner commented, "We haven't heard from this chap for a while. The 60s psychedelia swagger is punctuated by some incisive guitar work. It all works rather well."

title: Auersberg (Hilders)

text:
The Auersberg is a mountain, , in the Rhön, that rises immediately north of Hilders. East of the wooded peak lies Simmershausen, a village in the municipality of Hilders, and to the north is Lahrbach, in the municipality of Tann (Rhön). On the southwestern slopes of the mountain are the ruins of Auersburg Castle. Like the western side of the peak these are on the Main-Werra Way, a tourist path managed by the Rhön Club. The Ulster flows past the Auersberg just to the west. The Auersberg near Hilders should not be confused with the Großer and Kleiner Auersberg near Wildflecken in the Bavarian part of the Rhön.

title: Fakhoury

text:
Fakhoury or variant Fakhouri () or variants Al-Fakhoury, Al-Fakhouri, El-Fakhoury, or El-Fakhouri () is an Arabic surname originating in Lebanon, with many people bearing the name being Palestinian or Jordanian.

The root of the surname Fakhoury likely comes from the Arabic root word fakhour () meaning ‘proud’. Many of the Fakhoury families can trace their roots to the Lebanese city of Rachaya Al Foukhar but they separated and some of them relocated to Saida where they bought a great amount of lands and got involved in the political decision of the South, while others spread in Keserwan and Matn area.

The Fakhoury family used to be one of the most important families of the South since 1785. After the turn of the 19th century they began to establish significant positions of power within the Ottoman empire where they were granted the title of  Beik.
As a long line of land owners and tax collectors, the Fakhouries were able to leverage their finances and capital using their connections to American, British, French, German and Russian consuls over the decade to establish extensive economic and political connections.

They also lived in Jordan near Amman with some later spreading to Syria, Palestine, or west to the United States, most commonly migrating to Michigan, New York, California, and Chicago. A large number also migrated to Sydney, Australia, Mexico City, Mexico and Sao Paolo, Brazil. Some of the Catholic families originally migrated from Russia, then to Albania after settlement in Lebanon in the 1870s.

title: Little Joe the Wrangler

text:
Little Joe the Wrangler is a classic American cowboy song, written by N. Howard "Jack" Thorp. It appeared in Thorp's 1908 Songs of the Cowboys, which was the first published collection of cowboy songs. The tune comes from the song 'Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane' written by Will Hayes in 1871. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.

The song is about a solitary runaway who is taken in by a group of cowboys and put to work at a man's job. Little Joe's life ends tragically when his horse suffers a fall during a stampede, crushing the young fellow beneath him. The song has been sung over and over in cow camps for over a century, and has been recorded by many Western singers.

Performances
In the film Destry Rides Again, Marlene Dietrich sings a version with altered lyrics, in which Little Joe is shot by the sheriff. This version is a reference for "Surly Joe," sung by Tim Blake Nelson in the film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
