title: Alexander Ignatius Roche

text:
Alexander Ignatius Roche (17 August 1861 – 10 March 1921) RSA NEAC RP was a Scottish artist in the late 19th century and an important figure in the "Glasgow Boys".

Life
He was born in the Gallowgate in Glasgow, the son of a milliner, Alexander Roche. He attended St Mungo's Academy in Bridgeton, Glasgow.

He originally trained as an architect, but then changed to art, studying at the Glasgow School of Art and, from 1881, at L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Here he studied under Gustave Boulanger and Jean-Léon Gérôme. In his time here he befriended William Kennedy, John Lavery, Thomas Millie Dow and William Stott. In the early 1880s he joined a colony of Scots artists in Grez-sur-Loing south of Fontainebleau. On his return to Scotland in 1885 he joined with the Glasgow Boys working on murals for the 1888 International Exhibition.
In 1888 he travelled to Capriwhere he befriended Fabio Fabbi and Harold Speed. In following years he visited both Venice and Florence, and married an Italian girl on the latter trip. This marriage was short-lived and they separated. As both were Catholics there seems to have never been any divorce.

In 1896 he moved from Glasgow to Edinburgh and began to distance himself from the Glasgow Boys. His work drifted from largely landscape to largely portraits.

In 1906 he remarried (possibly bigamously), to Jean Alexander, daughter of Robert Alexander. During this period they enjoyed the friendship of Joseph Crawhall.

From 1907 until 1914 they lived at 8 Royal Terrace, on Calton Hill, a very prestigious property.
Around 1910 a cerebral haemorrhage caused the loss of use of its right hand and he had to retrain to paint with the left.

He died in Hailes Cottage, near the Water of Leith in Slateford, Edinburgh. He is buried in the Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh near the north-east corner of the original cemetery.

Works
Roche exhibited in the Royal Scottish Academy from 1887 and in the Royal Academy from 1890-1919.

title: John Howard (industrialist)

text:
John Howard (16 March 1791 – 23 December 1878) was an English industrialist, an inventor of agricultural equipment and four times the Mayor of Bedford.

Life
Howard was born on 16 March 1791 in Bedford and was educated at Bedford Modern School.  The family of Howard had been settled in Bedford and the neighbourhood for three centuries and at one period was possessed of considerable property.  His father was John Moore Howard, Governor of the County Gaol in Bedford. Howard was the grandson and great nephew of two former Mayors of Bedford.

Howard was initially apprenticed to an ironmonger at Olney, Buckinghamshire by the Trustees of Bedford Charity.  In 1835 he set up an iron foundry in Bedford which he expanded rapidly.  The business was known in Bedford as 'The Firm', as it became the largest employer in the town.  Specialising in agricultural machinery, he invented and exhibited a two-wheel plough at the first meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society in 1839 for which he won an award.  John Howard retired from business in 1851 leaving his sons James and Frederick as his successors.  In the following year the firm commenced the manufacture of steam ploughs. The business established by Howard would later trade as James & Frederick Howard, the two brothers also building the Britannia Iron Works in Bedford in 1857.

Howard died on 23 December 1878.  He was the father of Sir Frederick Howard JP DL and James Howard MP.  He was also the grandfather of Sir George Farrar, 1st Baronet and via that line the great great grandfather of James Lowther, 7th Earl of Lonsdale. A painting of Howard is included in the BBC's 'Your Paintings' series.

title: Theodoros Pelecanos

text:
Theodoros Pelecanos of Corfu was a 15th-century Greek scribe who is known only as the creator of a copy of a collection of medieval alchemical works.

In 1478, Pelecanos produced a manuscript now known as the Parisinus graecus 2327 and held in the Bibliothèque Nationale in France. As well as works of unknown origin, it contains copies of texts from the 11th century, in the time of Psellus. These sources are believed to include the Marcianus Graecus 299 manuscript of the 6th or 7th centuries, now in the Biblioteca Marciana, Venice.

The manuscript includes a copy of a lost tract by Synesius, the Synosius, that contains a well-known drawing of the Ouroboros, an ancient alchemical symbol which stands for eternity and the circle of life and death.

title: FIDE Grand Prix 2014–15

text:
The FIDE Grand Prix 2014–15 was a series of four chess tournaments that formed part of the qualification cycle for the World Chess Championship 2016. Fabiano Caruana finished first, and Hikaru Nakamura second in the overall standings. Both therefore qualified for the 2016 Candidates Tournament.

Format
In contrast to the two previous Grand Prix cycles the number of tournaments was decreased from six to four, and players played three tournaments instead of four. As a result, no results were discarded, but each tournament result counted toward the total points. Sixteen players were selected to compete in the tournaments.

Each tournament was a 12-player, single round-robin tournament. In each round players scored 1 point for a win, ½ point for a draw and 0 for a loss. Grand Prix points were then allocated according to each player's standing in the tournament: 170 Grand Prix points for first place, 140 for second place, 110 for third place, and then 90 down to 10 points by steps of 10. In case of a tie in points the Grand Prix points are shared evenly by the tied players.

Players
The Grand Prix consists of 16 players. FIDE announced 11 qualifiers as per regulations, plus one nominee from each of the four organisers, and one FIDE President nominee.

Five original invitees declined to participate: Magnus Carlsen, Viswanathan Anand, Levon Aronian, Vladimir Kramnik and Veselin Topalov. The first four of these had also declined to participate in the FIDE Grand Prix 2012–13. In a later interview, Aronian said "I found it quite insulting to compete in a tournament with the first prize half as large as my participation fee [for] almost any other tournament [at] that time." Moreover, there was no prize money for overall standings, as there had been in previous Grand Prixes.

All five Grand Prix replacements were determined by the rating list as per regulations.

The final list of players was announced on 9 September 2014. Iranian player Ehsan Ghaem-Maghami was replaced by Georgian Baadur Jobava after the third stop was moved from Tehran to Tbilisi.

Prize money and Grand Prix points
The prize money is €120,000 per single Grand Prix (down from €170,000) and there is no financial bonus for the overall standings (€420,000 last in 2012–13).

Tie breaks
With the objective of determining qualifiers to play in the Candidates 2016, and in the case that two or more players have equal cumulative points at the top, the following criteria were utilized to decide the overall Series winner and other overall placings:
 Number of actual game result points scored in the three tournaments entered.
 Number of games played with black.
 Number of wins.
 Number of black wins.
 Drawing of lots.

Schedule
The third stop was initially to be played in Tehran, Iran but a move was announced in October. The fourth stop moved from Moscow to Khanty-Mansiysk.

The Union for Democracy and National Reconstruction (, UDRN) was a political party in Benin led by Azaria Fakorede.

History
The UDRN contested the 1991 elections as part of three-party alliance alongside the National Movement for Democracy and Development (MNDD) and the Movement for Solidarity, Union and Progress (MSUP). The three parties received 8% of the vote and won six of the 64 seats in the National Assembly.

The alliance split prior to the 1995 elections, with the MNDD running alone and the other two remaining in an alliance. Although the MNDD won a single seat with 2% of the vote, the MSUP–UDRN alliance received only 1% of the vote and failed to win a seat. MSUP leader Djamiou attempted to sought to have the election results in Cotonou overturned in the Constitutional Court, but his case was deemed inadmissible.

In the 1999 elections it was part of the Suru Alliance, which won one seat.

title: Ivan Wallin

text:
Ivan Emanuel Wallin (22 January 1883 – 6 March 1969) was an American biologist who made the first experimental works on endosymbiotic theory. Nicknamed the "Mitochondria Man", he claimed that mitochondria, which are cell organelles, were once independent bacteria, as supported by his comparative studies and culture of isolated mitochondria. From 1922, he published a series of papers titled "On the nature of mitochondria" in the American Journal of Anatomy which became the experimental foundations of his claims. He was the first person to specifically postulate that eukaryotic organelles originated from bacteria, and that symbiosis is a major force in creation of new species.

Wallin was Professor of Anatomy at the University of Colorado Medical School. He was noted for his eccentric life in academia, such as his preference for exclusively practical demonstration rather than lecturing, his frequent parties for students and an annual Christmas glögg party.

Biography
Wallin was born to Swedish immigrant parents, Claes Henrik Wallin and Emma Augusta Maria (Johansdotter), in a small farming community at Stanton, Ohio. He was educated at Augustana College at Illinois and Princeton University. He obtained a BS degree from the University of Iowa in 1905. He briefly taught biology at the University of Nebraska from where he earned his MSc in 1908. In 1915 he obtained his doctorate degree (DSc) in anatomy from the New York University. His thesis was on the tissue development, differentiation, and morphology of the lamprey Ammocoete. From 1918, he was professor of anatomy at the University of Colorado Medical School.

Origin of mitochondria
Wallin was the first to experimentally investigate the origin of mitochondria, particularly in relation to their similarities with certain bacteria. His first paper in 1922 described the staining techniques for bacterial cells, and found that the techniques were equally good for staining mitochondria. He concluded that "bacteria and mitochondria have a similar chemical constitution". His subsequent paper (in the same year and same journal) further strengthened his assumptions. In addition, he observed in his study of blue green algae that chloroplasts are "bacteria or bacteria-like organisms that accepted the leisure of a symbiotic partnership in the struggle for existence". He made a summary conclusion that:

Wallin was aware that he needed to culture mitochondria isolated from cell in an independent environment. His early experiment was a failure using tissue samples from guinea pig, dog, and human blood. However, he succeeded in obtaining a mitochondrial culture with liver of fetal and newborn rabbits. He reported his findings in 1924 with a remark that "mitochondria are, in reality, bacterial organisms, symbiotically combined with the tissues of higher organisms." He continued with prolific publications. The series of his papers titled "On the nature of mitochondria" reached nine in 1925. He gave a full description of his experiments and theories on mitochondria in his 1927 book Symbionticism and the Origin of Species. Although he claimed that his experiments were performed with utmost care, critics rejected them on the grounds of possible contamination, and Wallin and his works were largely forgotten, until Lynn Margulis introduced a more complete endosymbiotic theory with better evidences in 1967.

Personal life
Wallin married Eva Louise Shepard.

Wallin was known for his eccentric behaviour in his professional life. He avoided lecturing, but instead used practical demonstrations. He frequently organised parties for his students, who in return helped him build a cabin in North St. Vrain Canyon, 20 miles north of Boulder. The parties were simply named "Club Wallin" which involved heavy drinking beside playing games. His notable habit was holding an annual Christmas glögg party. At the party guests were treated with Swedish delicacies such as sillsallad (pickled herring salad), lutefisk (dried codfish), and mulled wine.

title: Last of the Comanches

text:
Last of the Comanches is a 1953 American Western film directed by Andre DeToth and starring Broderick Crawford, Barbara Hale, Johnny Stewart and Lloyd Bridges. The film is a remake of the 1943 World War II film Sahara, starring Humphrey Bogart. Lloyd Bridges appeared in both films.

Plot

In 1876 all the Indians are at peace except the Comanches led by Black Cloud. When he wipes out a complete town, leaving only burnt-out ruins, just six soldiers are left and they retreat into the desert, hoping to reach the safety of Fort Macklin. But it is at least 100 miles away, and they are short of water. They are reinforced by members of a stagecoach and find limited water at a deserted mission. Pinned down by Black Cloud they send an Indian boy who was a prisoner on to the fort for reinforcements, while they fight off Black Cloud. He is also suffering from lack of water and they try to delay him with (bogus) offers of water until the cavalry can arrive to rescue them. The stagecoach is carrying a consignment of dynamite and this is used to lay a trap for the marauding Indians – a truly spectacular explosion ensues...

title: 2017 Louis Vuitton Challenger's Trophy

text:
The 2017 Louis Vuitton Challenger's Trophy (officially, the Trophy was given to the winner of the 2017 Louis Vuitton America's Cup Challenger Playoffs) was a sailing competition held to determine the challenger in the 2017 America's Cup.

The tournament was an expansion of the previous Louis Vuitton Cup format, with the defender competing in the first round robin stage.

The races ran from 5 to 12 June 2017 in Bermuda and were preceded by the 2015–16 America's Cup World Series. It was won by Emirates Team New Zealand who defeated Artemis Racing in the final. The races were conducted using AC50 yachts, a new class of  hydrofoiling wingsail catamarans, larger than the AC45F yachts used in the world series and smaller than the AC72 yachts used in 2013. Emirates Team New Zealand went on to compete with defending champions Oracle Team USA in the 2017 America's Cup match.

Challenger of Record
On 1 October 2013, Australia's Hamilton Island Yacht Club was confirmed as the "Challenger of Record" for the 35th America's Cup. Only moments after the win by USA team Oracle, Hamilton Island Yacht Club (HIYC), located on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia issued its challenge for the 35th America's Cup. The HIYC challenge was accepted by the Golden Gate Yacht Club, which remained the Defender and Trustee of the world's oldest international sporting trophy. Australian billionaire Bob Oatley was said to be financially backing the Hamilton Island Yacht Club as the Challenger of Record for the 35th America's Cup.

On 19 July 2014, Russell Coutts, Director of the America's Cup Event Authority (ACEA), announced that Hamilton Island Yacht Club had withdrawn Team Australia from the 35th America's Cup. Team Australia claimed that the new protocols as set forth by defending champion Oracle Team USA were too hard to prepare for when no dates or venue have been confirmed for the event.

A replacement for Hamilton Island Yacht Club as Challenger of Record was not named.

Entry period
On 7 August 2014, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron on behalf of their crew, Emirates Team New Zealand, became the first team to announce an official America's Cup entry. 8 August was the actual deadline for challengers and the defenders had previously mentioned that four teams had entered or planned to by the deadline: Luna Rossa (ITA), Artemis Racing (SWE), Team France (FRA) and Ben Ainslie Racing (GBR).

Ben Ainslie, ORACLE TEAM USA's tactician at the 2013 America's Cup, expressed serious interest in challenging his former employers with his own team based out of the United Kingdom.

In an interview on RadioLIVE on 8 June the New Zealand Prime Minister John Key referred to the new America's Cup rules as "Mickey Mouse" and said the government would not help fund a challenge. In a follow-up interview with Grant Dalton the same day, Dalton said that the team's knowledge of the catamaran was far more advanced than at the same stage with the AC72. He announced that Team NZ had secured the services of the designer who fitted the servo to the Team Oracle USA AC72 in the last America's Cup.

On 25 June 2014 Team New Zealand confirmed their intention to challenge in a media statement as they had gained sufficient private financial backing from private sources such as Sir Stephen Tindall without government assistance. Speaking on RadioLIVE, government minister Steven Joyce said he did not rule out a New Zealand government contribution after the election as the government's previous investments of $37 million NZ had yielded dividends of about $87 million NZ in the previous challenge.

Team New Zealand confirmed its team would build a challenger program for the next Americas Cup. Yachting commentators said Team New Zealand had an incredibly strong design, technical and support team. The sailing crew is drawn from a mix of previous Americas cup sailors and some of the kiwi gold medal winners at the last Olympic games.

Hamilton Island Yacht Club challenged for the 35th America's Cup up just minutes after GGYC's win in the 34th America's Cup in September 2013. However, in July 2014, the team pulled out of the Cup due to the high financial risk.

Circolo della Vela Sicilia - Luna Rossa Challenge (withdrawn)
In June 2014, Luna Rossa confirmed they would again be challenging for the Cup, and would retain most of their team, including helmsman Chris Draper, skipper Max Sirena, and tactician Francesco Bruni. However, after the Challenger Committee, along with Oracle Team USA, chose to reduce the size of the boats from the AC62 class to the AC50, Luna Rossa withdrew in protest.

Former Team New Zealand helmsman Dean Barker joined the team as skipper and CEO in May, and British Olympic medalist and former Luna Rossa helmsman Chris Draper joined in June as tactician and Sailing Director. Due to the team's late entry, Oracle Team USA provided a design package for the team in order to kick-start their challenge.

Results

Qualifier round robins
The five challengers and the defender, Oracle Team USA, competed in two round robins between 26 May and 3 June 2017. Points were awarded for every win. The lowest ranking competitor was eliminated and the highest ranking competitor will be awarded a point at the start of the America's Cup match if it reaches that stage of the competition. In the event of a tie for lowest or highest ranking, "the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series standings" was to be "used as the tie breaker". The highest ranking challenger was able to pick its opponent in the semi-finals. The scores were:

Emirates Team New Zealand and defender Oracle Team USA were dominant in the round robins, with 8 wins each. New Zealand did not lose to a single challenger, both of their losses coming against Oracle. Artemis Racing and Land Rover BAR had shaky starts to the series (aided in part by a controversial penalty assessed against Artemis), but both came back strong in the second round robin. SoftBank Team Japan and Groupama Team France both struggled to win races, especially the French, who often lost races by several minutes. With only two wins, the French were eliminated and did not advance to the semi-finals. By virtue of their single point from the AC45 World Series, Oracle Team USA won the Qualifiers, giving them an automatic bonus point in the America's Cup match. As the highest-placed challenger, Emirates Team New Zealand won the right to choose their semi-finals opponent.

Challenger playoffs

Semi-finals
The top four challengers after the round robins advanced to best-of-nine semi-finals, held between 4 and 8 June 2017. As the highest placed challenger, Emirates Team New Zealand had the right to choose their opponent, and chose to face Land Rover BAR.

Land Rover BAR retired on leg 2 of the first semi-final race due to a camber arm failure; With the team unable to effect repairs before the subsequent race scheduled that day, two points were awarded to Team New Zealand. With winds peaking at 25.9kt during races on June 6, all four teams suffered visual damage to aerodynamic fairings, notably the port hydraulic daggerboard rams aboard Artemis Racing were exposed. After rounding mark #6 90s behind Team Japan and unable to reduce deficit, Artemis Racing retired. Pinned at the windward mark of the start line by opponent Land Rover BAR in the second race of June 6, Team New Zealand lost control of trim whilst bearing away after the starting gun, pitchpoling and capsizing their yacht; With the crew unable to right the boat without help from their support boat, they were subsequently disqualified when they were boarded by other team members. Team New Zealand and Artemis Racing won their respective semi-finals, advancing to the Challenger's Final.

Final
A best-of-nine final was held between 10 and 12 June. Team New Zealand registered five wins within the first seven races, advancing to the 2017 America's Cup match, which will be a best-of-thirteen races held between 17 and 27 June 2017.

Team New Zealand were presented with the newly made Louis Vuitton Challenger's Trophy.

title: Parflange F37

text:
The Parflange F37 system is a technology from the hydraulic area of Parker-Hannifin, which allows a non welded flange connection of hydraulic tubes and pipes.

Processing
Use-orientated, the connection will be done by either flaring or retaining ring technology.

Flaring Technology
After putting a F37 flange onto a seamless hydraulic tube or pipe, the tube end will be flared to 37°, what also explains the name of this technology. The flaring is done by a special orbitally flaring process, which compresses the surface of the pipe end, gaining an excellent sealing surface.

An insert made of carbon or stainless steel will be placed into the flared pipe end. The insert is soft sealed by an O-Ring to the pipe side. To be sealed against a flat counterpart (e.g. manifold or block) the insert has a groove on the front side for a so-called "F37-Seal" made of Polyurethane or optionally an o-ring or bonded seal made of carbon steel or stainless steel with a Nitrile rubber or FKM sealing lip. Alternatively, the front side of the insert can be flat. For a pipe to pipe connection, a special insert design with soft sealed cones on both sides to fit between two flared pipe ends is available.

Afterwards, the flange will be positioned to the pipe end and connected to a hydraulic component or another pipe having a similar flange and corresponding insert.

Retaining Ring Technology

For the Retaining Ring connection, a groove will be machined onto the pipe end to hold the retaining ring. The retaining ring is made of a segmented stainless steel ring covered by a steainless steel spring and is used to fix the flange. For the assembly, the retaining ring flange has to be put onto the machined pipe end. The retaining ring has to be widened for getting it on the pipe end to snap into the before machined groove. The inside contour of the retaining ring flange will cover the retaining ring from the outside.

The sealing of the Parflange F37 retaining ring connection is done by a bonded seal on the face side of the pipe end or alternatively by a pipe seal carrier ("PSC"). The pipe seal carrier has soft seales (o-rings or F37-Seals) on both sides. On one side, the pipe seal carrier has a centering aid to improve assembly.

Functionality

Flaring Technology

By flaring the pipe end, the flange gets a supporting surface and is able to build up force to ensure a stable connection.

At first, the insert has a sealing function. With its o-ring on the pipe end side, the sealing against the pipe is achieved. The sealing against the connecting part is done by the F37-Seal or a bonded seal. If the connecting part has a soft seal on the face side, an insert with a flat face has to be used. For the connection of two pipes, an insert with cones on both sides, which are soft sealed by o-rings, can be used as well.

Simultaneously, the insert stabilises the connection. The achieved pressure by tightening the flange bolts can be spread on a bigger contact surface of the insert, increasing the solidity of the connection.

Retaining Ring Technology

The special inside contour of the retaining ring flange covers the retaining ring, which is installed onto the machined pipe end. A form-closed connection results from the tightening of the flange, which will be sealed by bonded seal or pipe seal carrier on the face side.

Application
The Parflange F37 system is used to connect haydraulic tubes, pipes and components without welding.

Depending on pipe and flange size, the F37 system is approved for pressure ratings up to 420 bar (6000 psi, respectively 42 MPa). It is commonly used in shipbuilding, offshore and heavy machinery industry for moving and controlling of e.g. cranes and elevators.

Furthermore, the Parflange F37 technology allows to connect tubes and pipes from 16 to 273 millimeter outside diameter (1/2" to 10" flange size).

Approvals
The F37 system is approved by leading classification societies.

The flange hole patterns are according to ISO 6162-1/SAE J 518 Code 61 (3000 psi/210 bar), ISO 6162-2/SAE J518 Code 62 (6000 psi/420 bar) and ISO 6164 (400 bar).

Other information
Advantages of Parflange F37 compared to welded flange connections are mainly in savings on time and costs. No costly inspection of welds (f.e. by x-ray graphing) and post-weld acid cleaning is needed, making the connection also more environment-friendly and safer than welding.

Compared to welding, no welding stress corrosion is possible, resulting in maximum service time of the pipe connection and a reduction of service costs.

title: Verda Erman

text:
Verda Erman (19 December 1944 – 21 July 2014) was a Turkish pianist.

Born in Istanbul in 1944, she began her career at the Istanbul Municipal Conservatory. In 1957, she was sent to study at the Conservatoire de Paris under Turkish law no. 6660 for students with "extraordinary talents." She studied under French pianist Lucette Descaves and graduated from the conservatory with the highest honors. Erman then worked with pianist Lazare Lévy to improve her skills on the piano. She also enrolled in lessons on counterpoint and harmony from French composer, Noël Gallon. She gave a series of concerts in Paris before returning to Turkey.

Erman performed with the Presidential Symphony Orchestra of Turkey. She won first prize in the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud Competition (now called the Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition) in Paris in October 1963. In 1965, Erman placed second in the Canada International Piano Competition.

Verda Erman was honored as a State Artist in 1971, the year the honorary title was created. She toured extensively around the world as a guest musician after 1971. She enjoyed successful tenures in Belgrade, Paris, Montreal and Bucharest. Pianist Rudolf Serkin invited her to the Marlboro Music School and Festival in the U.S. state of Vermont. She continued to perform with the Turkish Presidential Symphony Orchestra as a vocal artist on the orchestra's European tours.

Erman died in Paris on 21 July 2014, possibly of leukemia, at the age of 70.

title: St John's Gardens, Manchester

text:
St John's Gardens in central Manchester, England, lies between Lower Byrom Street, Byrom Street and Quay Street. Previously occupied by St John's Church and its graveyard between 1769 and 1931, the site was redeveloped into a formal garden in 1932. It contains a central memorial to the church and those buried in its graveyard, whose tombstones have been covered over by  of soil except for that of John Owens, founder of Owen's College.

The garden was awarded a Green Flag in 2012 and is part of the St John Street conservation area.

Background

St John's Church was built on the site now occupied by the gardens in 1769 in response to the needs of a rapidly rising population. Its founder was Edward Byrom (13 June 1724 – 24 April 1773), a co-founder of the first bank in Manchester and the oldest surviving son of John Byrom, whose family was well known in the area.

The residential area around the church changed in character during the 19th century, as properties once occupied by affluent families became lodging houses and the locale became a place of business. Falling attendances led to a merger with St Matthew's parish in 1927. In 1929, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners proposed to hand over the site to Manchester Corporation, in the hope that it would be converted into an open space similar to Parsonage Gardens. The church was demolished in 1931.

Garden
In March 1914, Manchester Corporation was negotiating with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to turn St John's dreary city-centre churchyard from an "eyesore" to a garden planted with trees and shrubs. The church is commemorated by a stone cross in the garden; a plaque states that more than 22,000 bodies lie buried in the vicinity. Among those buried in the churchyard are John Owens, founder of Owens College, the forerunner of Manchester University, and William Marsden, who successfully campaigned for the introduction of a half-day holiday for workers on Saturdays. With the exception of Owens' grave, the tombstones in the churchyard were covered with  of soil. A garden and children's playground was formally opened on 10 February 1932.

The Black or Manchester Poplar, Populus nigra (subspecies betulifolia), Britain's most endangered native tree, was planted in the garden. Like the London Plane, the only other British  tree named after a city, it is one of the few trees that can survive in heavily polluted conditions.

In 2011 an orchard of twelve crab apple trees and wildflowers designed by Daniela Coray, was moved to the garden after the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show. Coray, RHS National Young Designer of the Year, had been awarded a gold award for the design, A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.

The garden was awarded a Green Flag in 2012 for promoting a "welcoming, safe and well-maintained" environment. and is in the St John Street conservation area.

title: Edward Leffingwell

text:
Edward G. Leffingwell (December 3, 1941 – August 5, 2014), was an American art critic and curator, affiliated with MoMA/P.S.1 and Art in America and associated with avant-garde art.

Biography
Leffingwell was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania, on December 3, 1941.  In the mid-1960s he moved to New York City and began associating with Max's Kansas City and the Warhol Factory crowd. During the 1960s and 1970s he was involved with a variety of avant-garde art projects, including a 1968 film by sculptor John Chamberlain ("The Secret Life of Hernando Cortez").

In the late 1970s Leffingwell left New York to take care of his mother, who was ill, and began to transition to a curatorial career in the arts. He entered Youngstown State University, completing a B.A. in 1982, and went on in 1984 to earn an M.A. in art history from the University of Cincinnati.

In 1985 he was hired by PS1, now affiliated with New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Leffingwell organized a number of key exhibitions, including two while he was in school.  His first exhibition, in 1983, was at the Butler: "Chinese Chance: An American Collection", which profiled the collection of Leffingwell's long-time associate, Mickey Ruskin, who had been one of the owners of Max's Kansas City.  His next major exhibition was at the University of Cincinnati, reviewing Lawrence Weiner, a conceptual artist.

Over the next several years Leffingwell organized several significant shows.  In New York, he developed a 20-year retrospective of sculptor John McCracken ("John McCracken: Heroic Stance") and a 1987 show of artist Michael Tracy ("Michael Tracy: Terminal Privileges"). In 1997 at P.S.1 he organized a retrospective of the work of artist and filmmaker Jack Smith ("Jack Smith: Flaming Creature: His Amazing Life and Times"). He also organized a show on James Rosenquist, and "About Place: Contemporary American Landscape" (1986).

Leffingwell spent four years in Los Angeles, directing the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park from 1988 to 1992.  There he organized an exhibition of George Herms, and a proposed biennial show, LAX: The Los Angeles Exhibition, a contemporary art exhibition spanning seven to eight institutions.

During this time Leffingwell became interested in and associated with Brazilian art and the São Paulo Art Biennial.  For that biennial, he organized a show on the painter Neil Williams, one of long-time friends and associates.

Leffingwell wrote prolifically, penning hundreds of reviews and critical essays for Art in America, as well as contributing to scholarship on artist Lawrence Weiner, photographer Joe Deal, artist Judith Murray, Claude Monet and Jack Smith.

Leffingwell died from cardiac arrest in Flushing, Queens, on August 5, 2014, at the age of 72, after suffering from Parkinson's disease.

title: Greek music in Israel

text:
Greek music in Israel is very popular and Greek musicians often visit Israel while on world tours. Popular Greek singers who have performed in Israel include Manolis Angelopoulos, Eleftheria Arvanitaki, George Dalaras, Haris Alexiou, Glykeria, Nikos Vertis and Natassa Theodoridou. In December 2012 Natasa Theodoridou performed some of her songs in Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center in Hebrew. In 2007 during the interview of Shimon Peres by Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation on George Dalaras concert in Israel, President Shimon Peres stated: "In Israel we love the Greek Music. For us Greece is a country but also a melody".

History
Greek-style bouzouki music became increasingly popular in the early 1960s. Aris San, a non-Jewish Greek singer who moved to Israel and became an Israeli citizen, was the driving spirit behind this trend. One of Aris San's hit songs was "Sigal" (lyrics by Yovav Katz). Aris San, who worked at the Zorba club in Jaffa, owned and opened by Shlomo Bachramov wrote songs for Aliza Azikri (Bahayim hakol over, Yesh ahava ata omer), that effectively broke down the barriers between Israeli song and the world of Greek and Mizrahi music. The songs of the iconic Greek singer Stelios Kazantzidis were translated into Hebrew and performed by the country's leading singers.

Many of the songs of Stelios Kazantzidis have been translated into Hebrew and performed by Israeli singers. Yaron Enosh, an Israeli Radio broadcaster who often plays Greek music on his programs, described the singer's ability to combine joy with sorrow: "This is the task of music: to touch the entire range of feelings...Kazantzidis could do this; he played on all the strings." To the Greek Jews who immigrated to Israel, Kazantzidis was "the voice of the world they left behind, for good or for bad." According to the operator of Radio Agapi, a station that plays Greek music 24 hours a day, "Kazantzidis was the voice of the people, of the weary, the exploited, the betrayed. And the voice of the refugee and the emigre, too."

Greek music day
A special broadcasting day of Greek classical and modern music was organised on 12 June 2013 by the Israel Broadcasting Authority, in cooperation with the Embassy of Greece in Tel Aviv. The program started with an hourly show, presented by Ambassador Lampridis and the Director of the Radio Station Arie Yass with an emphasis on the roots and the historical evolution of modern Greek music. During the whole day, Kol Ha Musica broadcast works of modern Greek composers including Hatzidakis, Theodorakis, Spanoudakis, Remboutsika, Karaidrou, Mikroutsikos and Markopoulos. The programme also included Sephardi music from Thessaloniki and Rhodes. Israeli Radio show "Yaron Enosh" is almost completely dedicated to Greece, the Greek culture, music, philosophy and history and has an audience of approximately 800,000 Israeli listeners. In Israel there are 12 internet radio stations that broadcast exclusively Greek music.

title: Hillfolk

text:
Hillfolk is a tabletop role-playing game designed by Robin Laws and published by Pelgrane Press.  It was initially launched via Kickstarter in 2012, with the funding being sufficiently successful that a second book called "Blood on the Snow", containing 33 new settings, was produced as a part of the kickstarter.  Reception was positive, with RPGamer saying "mechanics don't so much get out of the way of roleplay as provide a supportive foundation for it to happen." Hillfolk is influenced by the Indie RPGs of the 2000s, and emphasises relationships and interpersonal conflicts among the player characters, rather than what the system calls "procedural" scenes putting the characters against external obstacles.

As a result of the successful Kickstarter, Hillfolk incorporated additional settings by Jason Morningstar, Ken Hite, Matt Forbeck, and Emily Care Boss, among others. The game won the Indie RPG awards for Game of the Year and Best Support for 2013 and the 2014 Diana Jones award for excellence in gaming.

title: Michał Łysejko

text:
Michał Łysejko (born 1 June 1990) is a Polish heavy metal drummer. Łysejko has played with such bands as Decapitated, Norden, Sonheillon, Access Denied, Driller, Evilution and Melechesh. He currently plays in Morowe, Night of the World, Pagan Forest, Pleroms Gate, and Strandhogg.

Michał Łysejko is endorsed by Sabian Cymbals, Balbex Drumsticks, Czarcie Kopyto Pedals and Lime Ears Monitors.

Legal issues
On 9 September 2017, all four members of Decapitated (Lysejko, Waclaw Kiełtyka, Rafał Piotrowski and Hubert Więcek) were arrested in Santa Ana, California after a show, and were charged with first-degree kidnapping in relation to an incident alleged to have happened after the band's show at Spokane, Washington's The Pin on 31 August 2017.

During the alleged incident, two women were held in the band's tour bus against their will. Of the two women, one was able to escape. The other informed police that each member of the band raped her on the bus.

After being extracted to Spokane, each band member was formally charged with rape in October 2017. Lysejko and Wiecek's charges were for third degree rape, while Piotrowski and Kiełtyka were each charged with second degree rape. All members of the band plead not guilty to their respective criminal charges.

Later in October the band was released from jail, with each member paying $100,000 in bail and being required to surrender their passport.

Charges were dropped by prosecutors in January 2018, citing the "well-being of the victim", and the scheduled trial later that month was cancelled. The charges were dropped without prejudice, leaving the possibility of future charges open.

title: Salim Yusuf

text:
Salim Yusuf  (born 26 November 1952) is an Indian-born Canadian physician, the Marion W. Burke Chair in Cardiovascular Disease at McMaster University Medical School. He is a cardiologist and epidemiologist. Yusuf has criticized the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and disputes the scientific consensus on dietary sodium and saturated fat intake.

Early life and education
Born in the town of Kottarakkara in Kerala, Yusuf studied medicine at St. John's Medical College in Bangalore and earned a DPhil at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. At Oxford, he also took part in research into cardiovascular disease.

His doctoral thesis was titled "Beta adrenergic blockade in myocardial infarction" and his supervisor was Peter Sleight.

Career
In 1984, Yusuf moved to the National Institutes of Health in the United States, where he led clinical trials that showed the value of ACE inhibitors in people with left ventricular dysfunction and the optimal use of digoxin). He came to the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University in 1992 as director of the cardiology division. In 1999 McMaster created the Population Health Research Institute at the Hamilton Health Sciences campus of McMaster, and made Yusuf the director of the center and vice president of research at HHS.

From 1999 to 2004, he also held an appointment as a senior scientist at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

In 2011, he was the world's second-most cited cardiology researcher. and in 2020, he was the most-cited scientist in the world in cardiology. Yusuf's large-scale clinical trials have had a significant impact on the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. in particular, he has demonstrated the value of combinations of blood pressure lowering and lipid lowering with statins and of combinations of antiplatelet therapy and joint use of anticoagulants and aspirin in low doses to prevent cardiovascular disease and death.

He was a past president of the World Heart Federation 2015–2016, where he initiated the Emerging Leaders Program which is now named after him.

Dietary views

Yusuf disputes the guidelines on saturated fat and dietary sodium intake. In 2017, Yusuf spoke at the Cardiology Update 2017 symposium in which he disputed the saturated fat guidelines whilst admitting he is not an expert in nutrition. He stated that a higher saturated fat intake is protective and eating more dietary carbohydrates is harmful. Yusuf has commented that "saturated fats are not harmful, may even be slightly beneficial but there is no harm", and recommends people to consume high-fat dairy products and unprocessed red meat. These ideas were criticized by other medical researchers and nutritionists such as David L. Katz as "bizarre" and "misguided".

Yusuf has questioned the consensus on salt and cardiovascular disease and has argued that a low sodium intake does not lower risk of cardiovascular events and mortality but increases it. In 2018, he co-authored a controversial paper which argued that sodium intake is associated with cardiovascular disease only in communities where mean intake is greater than 5 g/day. The paper disputes the salt guidelines of the World Health Organization who recommend that populations consume less than 2 g/day as a preventive measure against cardiovascular disease. The paper was widely criticized by the medical community with the American Heart Association strongly disputing the study as flawed and offering no credible evidence.

In opposition to low-carbohydrate and high-carbohydrate diets, Yusuf advocates moderated carbohydrate consumption.

Honours
In 2013, Yusuf was named an Officer in the Order of Canada. He is also a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 2014, he was awarded the Canada Gairdner Wightman Award and was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.

text:
Astrit Fazliu (born 18 October 1987) is a Kosovan professional footballer who plays as a winger for Kosovan club Ferizaj in the Football Superleague of Kosovo.

Club career

Shkëndija

In December 2013, Fazliu signed a one-and-a-half year contract with the Macedonian First League side FK Shkëndija, with an renew option. He was given squad number 7 for the second part of the 2013–14 season.

2013–14 season
He had to wait until March to make his debut in the elite of Macedonian football, playing 65 minutes in a 3–0 triumph against Makedonija. Fazliu scored his first goal for Shkëndija in his fifth appearance for the club, netting the second in 91st minute to seal the 0–2 away success against Turnovo. He scored his second goal of the season in Tetovo derby, netting the fifth of the 5–0 home win against Renova. He ended his first six months with the club by scoring twice in 12 appearances, all in league, with the team securing a spot in first qualifying round of 2014–15 UEFA Europa League.

Partizani Tirana
On 19 August 2014, Fazliu completed a transfer to the second-most successful club in Albania, Partizani Tirana, signing a one-year deal with a salary $3,500 per month. After the summer transfer window was closed, Partizani had committed 32 transfers, signing 14 players and releasing 18, a record in Albanian football. During his presentation, Fazliu was allocated squad number 7 and dubbed his Partizani move as "the right choice".

2014–15 season
Fazliu made his club debut on 24 August in the first week of 2014–15 Albanian Superliga, appearing as a second-half substitute in the 1–1 away draw against Laçi. He replaced the fellow debutant Emiljano Vila. Fazliu played for the first time in Qemal Stafa Stadium on 11 September during the league encounter against Skënderbeu Korçë, again as a substitute in an eventual 1–0 win, first league win of the 2014–15 season. Eight days later, only in his second match as a starter, Fazliu scored his first goal against Teuta Durrës, netting the second of the match in the 44th minute after an assist by Račić, who had scored four minutes earlier.

One week later, Fazliu played in the famous Tirana derby against the rivals of Tirana, appearing in the last 11 minutes of the goalless draw at empty Qemal Stafa Stadium. During the October, Fazliu was able to make his Albanian Cup debut in the first leg of the first round against Iliria Fushë-Krujë, playing full-90 minutes in a 3–0 away win; later, in the returning match, he scored the first goal in a 2–1 home win, helping the team to pass the round with the aggregate 5–1. Partizani finished the first part of the season with 18 points, tied with rivals of Tirana as a leader.

Fazliu started the second part of the season by playing 18 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Laçi on 25 January of the following year. One month later, he scored his second goal of the season against Teuta Durrës, contributing in a 2–1 home win. In the next fixture against Flamurtari Vlorë, while the match was still 1–1, Fazliu missed an opportunity with an empty goal; however Partizani managed to win 2–1. On 4 May 2015, in the fourth and the last derby against Tirana, while Partizani was 1–0 down, Fazliu equalized in the 55th minute with a chip after the cross of Mazrekaj, helping the team to get a 2–2 draw and to end the season without losing a derby. On 22 May 2015, in the final of the league, Fazliu scored his fourth goal of the league, contributing in a 3–0 win against Elbasani at the neutral field Kamëz Stadium.

Fazliu ended his first season with Partizani appearing in 37 matches in all competitions, including 33 in league, with the team who failed to win the league but secured the third place, meaning that the team will play in European competitions for the first time after seven years. Partizani also reached the quarter-finals of Albanian Cup where they fell against Laçi in two-legged match. Fazliu scored six goals during the season, including four in league.

2015–16 season

For the new season, Fazliu left the number 9 after the arrival of Sebino Plaku, taking the vacant number 7. In team's first match of 2015–16 season against Norwegian side Strømsgodset, valid for the first qualifying round of Europa League, Fazliu entered in the field in the 60th minute and scored the only goal eight minutes later in a 1–3 defeat of Partizani at Marienlyst Stadion. In the returning match at Qemal Stafa Stadium, Fazliu played full-90 minutes, as Partizani suffered another defeat in the very last moments, thus ending the European campaign.

Flamurtari Vlorë
On 30 May 2016, Fazliu joined fellow Albanian Superliga side Flamurtari Vlorë as a free agent, signing a one-year contract. He was presented on the same day along with the new coach Gugash Magani, where he was given the vacant squad number 7. In an interview months later, Fazliu stated that leaving Partizani for Flamurtari was "a good decision".

Fazliu was an unused substitute in the opening league match of 2016–17 against Skënderbeu Korçë due to an injury. He returned from the injury in the second matchday on 11 September, playing 60 minutes in a 5–0 thrashing of Luftëtari Gjirokastër at home. He had ups and downs during the season as he spent it between bench and field, collecting 30 matches, including 26 in league, scoring only 1 time, the last of the 4–1 home win over Korabi Peshkopi. In June 2017, he left the team by terminating his contract by mutual consent, becoming a free agent in the process.

Drita
On 13 June 2017, Fazliu returned to Kosovo by signing with Drita. In the 2017–18 season, he played 27 matches and scored 4 goals. Drita won the championship for the second time after 15 years.

Feronikeli
On 2 June 2018, Fazliu completed a transfer to fellow Football Superleague of Kosovo side Feronikeli for an undisclosed fee.

Return to Drita
In December 2019 it was confirmed, that Fazliu had returned to FC Drita, signing a deal until the summer 2021, starting from 2020.

Personal life

Eight or Nine Wise Words about Letter-Writing is an essay by Lewis Carroll on useful tips for composing, writing, mailing, and recording letters. The essay was published in 1890 by Emberlin and Son as a hardcover booklet consisting of 35 pages of text, followed by four pages of advertising, three pages of illustration, a stamp holder, and an illustration on the back cover. This essay is of some importance in philately because it was part of the "Wonderland" Postage-Stamp-Case, which was first sold in 1889 by Emberlin and Son. There were at least seven editions of the booklet and at least three editions of the stamp case.

Nine rules
Section 3 "How to go on with a Letter" contains nine rules for letter writing.
1st Rule. Write legibly.
2nd Rule. Don't fill more than a page and a half with apologies for not having written sooner! The best subject, to begin with, is your friend's last letter.
3rd Rule. Don't repeat yourself.
4th Rule. When you have written a letter that you feel may possibly irritate your friend, however necessary you may have felt it to so express yourself, put it aside till the next day. Then read it over again, and fancy it addressed to yourself.
5th Rule. If your friend makes a severe remark, either leave it unnoticed, or make your reply distinctly less severe: and if he makes a friendly remark, tending towards "making up" the little difference that has arisen between you, let your reply be distinctly more friendly.
6th Rule. Don't try to have the last word!
7th Rule. If it should ever occur to you to write, jestingly, in dispraise of your friend, be sure you exaggerate enough to make the jesting obvious: a word spoken in jest, but taken as earnest, may lead to very serious consequences.
8th Rule. When you say, in your letter, "I enclose cheque for £5," or "I enclose John's letter for you to see," leave off writing for a moment—go and get the document referred to—and put it into the envelope. Otherwise, you are pretty certain to find it lying about, after the Post has gone!
9th Rule. When you get to the end of a notesheet, and find you have more to say, take another piece of paper—a whole sheet, or a scrap, as the case may demand: but whatever you do, don’t cross! Remember the "old" proverb: Cross-writing makes cross reading.
