title: American Sports Network

text:
American Sports Network (ASN) was a sports brand owned by the U.S. television station owner Sinclair Broadcast Group through its Sinclair Networks subsidiary. Formed in July 2014, the multicast network component of ASN produced broadcasts of sporting events that were aired primarily across stations owned by Sinclair (in particular, The CW and MyNetworkTV stations owned and/or operated by the company, or, in some markets, on a digital subchannel of a Sinclair station), and syndicated to non-Sinclair stations and regional sports networks.

The multicast network component of ASN primarily dealt in college sports from NCAA Division I conferences, including live football and basketball games from the Atlantic 10 Conference, Big South Conference, Colonial Athletic Association, Conference USA, Horizon League, Ivy League, Mid-American Conference, Ohio Valley Conference, Patriot League, Southern Conference, Southland Conference, and Western Athletic Conference, as well as a limited number of professional sports events. In 2015, ASN acquired regional rights to Real Salt Lake and D.C. United of Major League Soccer, with games aired on Sinclair stations in the teams' market area, as well as television rights to the newly established Arizona Bowl.

In 2017, Sinclair announced that it would fold the multicast network component of ASN into a new joint venture with Silver Chalice called Stadium, which would combine ASN's broadcast distribution platforms with content from Silver Chalice's digital outlets 120 Sports and Campus Insiders. ASN-branded multicast programming continued on-air until September 6, when the network formally transitioned on-air to Stadium.

History
Sinclair Broadcast Group formally announced the launch of the American Sports Network on July 17, 2014; the service was led by Doron Gorshein, who joined the company in January 2014 in the role of chief operating officer of Sinclair Networks. ASN carried live broadcasts of mainly collegiate sporting events, along with ancillary programming focusing on colleges, their students and student-athletes. ASN's content aired primarily on Sinclair-owned-or-operated affiliates of The CW and MyNetworkTV or on secondary digital subchannels of other stations run by the company (some of which had carried content from competing syndicated sports distributors ESPN Regional Television and Raycom Sports until ASN's launch), the latter especially the case for its stations that have primary affiliations with one of the Big Four networks (ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox) which would not pre-empt the higher-tier sports coverage provided by their network partners. Sinclair opened ASN up for distribution by other broadcast outlets interested in carrying the service's content, and announced plans to expand ASN onto digital platforms.

ASN planned to initially broadcast college football, men's and women's college basketball, women's college soccer, and college baseball events, beginning with the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS and FCS football seasons. Prior to the service's formal launch, Sinclair reached broadcast rights agreements with five NCAA Division I conferences, including Conference USA, the Colonial Athletic Association, Big South Conference, Southern Conference, and the Patriot League.

ASN's first broadcasts took place on August 30, 2014, featuring two football games involving Conference USA teams (Old Dominion University vs. Hampton University and Florida International University hosting Bethune-Cookman University).

In September 2014, Sinclair reached a two-year deal with the International Motor Sports Association to syndicate broadcasts of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge series through ASN beginning that year, with a renewal option that could be exercised in 2016. Its first race broadcast on September 13, 2014 was shown on Sinclair stations in at least 36 markets, marking the first non-college sporting event to be syndicated by ASN.

On September 29, 2014, Sinclair announced a multi-year deal with the Western Athletic Conference to broadcast its games through ASN – marking the sixth conference to partner with the service. Sinclair also announced that it had reached syndication deals with stations in 67 markets where the company does not have a station in its portfolio to carry ASN's programming, expanding its total potential audience to 83 million viewers.

On October 16, 2014, Jonathan B. LeCrone announced the Horizon League had entered into a deal with the American Sports Network to broadcast select games; subsequently on November 10, ASN entered into a broadcast contract with the Ohio Valley Conference.

On December 2, 2014, ASN entered into the collegiate ice hockey field through an agreement that gave it the rights to air six Penn State Nittany Lions home games. ASN later added two other men's ice hockey contests from the Big Ten Conference, featuring the Wisconsin Badgers and Ohio State Buckeyes.

On January 23, 2015, Sinclair announced that it had acquired regional television rights to Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer beginning in the 2015 season, with ASN handling production of the telecasts. KMYU and KUTV aired the games locally, and they were syndicated to Sinclair stations in Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada as well as in Boise, Idaho. Stations in Arizona and New Mexico were able to bid for the local rights to telecast the matches in their markets.

On May 19, 2015, ASN announced that it had reached an agreement with Minor League Baseball (MiLB) to televise a weekly game during the 2015 season. ASN aired a weekly game live from different individual leagues on Sunday nights, and also aired the all-star games for the Florida State League and the Midwest League.

On June 24, 2015 the Southland Conference announced that ASN would televise select matches from their conference beginning with the 2015 fall football season. The ASN package replaced the Southland Conference TV Network syndication package.

In September 2015, ASN reached a deal with the Mid-American Conference, sub-licensed through ESPN, to broadcast selected games. In the 2015–16 academic season, ASN was scheduled to broadcast 10 football games, 10 men's basketball games, and 5 women's basketball games. ASN also reached deals with the NCAA Division I ice hockey conferences, including the Big Ten, ECAC Hockey, Hockey East, National Collegiate Hockey Conference, and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, to broadcast games as part of a Friday night package.

In November 2015, it was announced that ASN had acquired broadcast rights to the inaugural Arizona Bowl.

On December 18, 2015, D.C. United of Major League Soccer announced that Sinclair had acquired rights to the team. ASN-produced coverage was aired by News Channel 8 and WJLA-TV. Matches were also syndicated to digital subchannels of WUTB Baltimore, WRLH Richmond, WTVZ Norfolk, and WSET Roanoke.

On January 8, 2016, Sinclair announced a dedicated American Sports Network channel, offered as an affiliation for digital subchannels of stations in Baltimore, Charleston, Cincinnati, Columbus, Greensboro, Myrtle Beach, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Portland, and Raleigh-Durham. The service launched on January 11, 2016.

2017: Relaunch as Stadium
On April 13, 2017, Sinclair officially announced that the multicast network component of ASN would be re-launched later in the year as part of a joint venture with Silver Chalice (owner of Campus Insiders) and its online sports video service 120 Sports, later revealed to be Stadium. The service was set to target both broadcast and digital platforms, with the linear service utilizing the syndication and broadcast network built out for ASN, and 120 Sports providing original studio and long-form programming to the venture. On June 1, 2017, it was reported that Stadium would officially launch around late-July 2017. After a soft launch in July 2017, the service officially launched on August 24, with ASN's over-the-air network formally joining Stadium on September 6.

Stadium's studio programming is produced from Chicago; Sinclair's West Palm Beach CBS affiliate WPEC-TV shared facilities with ASN, and temporarily used ASN's studio and set for its newscasts while its main studio was being renovated. The same studio is also now used for a remotely-produced newscast for sister station WGFL.

title: CSS A. B. Seger

text:
The A. B. Seger (sometimes called the Seger, Segar, or Segur) was acquired by the Confederate States Navy in 1861 for service as a gunboat in Berwick Bay, Louisiana. The steamer operated with the naval force of Flag Officer George N. Hollins, CSN, who was charged with the defence of the Mississippi River and Louisiana coast.

The little gunboat was powered by two locomotive engines with "cylinders bolted to the top of and axis parallel to" her boiler—also from a railway locomotive. During 1862 A. B. Seger served as a dispatch boat, commanded by Acting Master I. C. Coons. As the Federal Flotilla under Lt. Comdr. Buchanan proceeded up Atchafalaya Bay on 1 November 1862, A. B. Seger was run aground and abandoned near Berwick Bay. She was then seized and placed in service by the Union.

Specification
The ship was a side wheel steamer of 30 tons,  long and mounting two guns.

title: Los Angeles & San Pedro Railroad

text:
The Los Angeles & San Pedro Railroad was Southern California's first railroad. Its  line from San Pedro Bay to Los Angeles was built from 1868 to 1869 and began operations on October 26, 1869. The railroad was the brainchild of Phineas Banning and its primary purpose was to transport freight from the port to the city.

The Los Angeles & San Pedro Railroad was purchased by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1873.

Securing Approvals

Los Angeles had used the harbor at San Pedro Bay as its principal seaport from the early Spanish days.  Though never considered a fine harbor, it was the best harbor between San Diego and Santa Barbara. The first means of transportation between the harbor and Los Angeles were oxcarts, to which were added large, horse-drawn wagons after the American conquest of California.

For some time, businessmen in Los Angeles felt that having a railroad to the bay would be beneficial.  As early as 1853, Phineas Banning saw the area around present-day Wilmington both as a possible terminus for a transcontinental railroad, and as a possible seaport.

Numerous plans for a railroad from Los Angeles to the area were discussed in the 1860s, but for one reason or another, nothing was done until Banning was elected a state Senator.  After two older, failed attempts to introduce legislation for an LA-to-the-harbor railroad (one by Abel Stearns in 1861 and another by E.J.C. Kewen in 1863), Senator Banning submitted bills in January 1868, regarding such a railroad and these were passed by the state legislature and signed by the governor on February 1, 1868.

The bills authorized the County of Los Angeles to subscribe to $100,000 of the capital stock of the new railroad, and the City of Los Angeles to subscribe to $75,000. One stipulation in the bill was that the city and county could assign the stock of the railroad to a transcontinental railroad if it were to come to Los Angeles. Stock would be sold to the public to raise the remaining $175,000 needed to complete the line.

Two weeks after passage the first stockholders meeting was held. John G. Downey was elected president, and John S. Griffin, M.D., John Kay and Matthew Keller were present. Articles of incorporation were filed February 18, 1868, and the incorporators asked the city and county for an election to approve the railroad subsidy, which was held March 24, 1868. Though there was opposition to the railroad from areas other than the harbor or Los Angeles, including rural areas such as Anaheim El Monte, Azusa, Ballona, San Fernando and Los Nietos , the subsidy passed in Los Angeles County with a vote of 700 to 672, and in Los Angeles City it passed more decisively with a vote of 347 to 245.

Construction
Phineas Banning initially received the contract for building the railroad, and ground was broken at Wilmington on September 20, 1868. He then contracted the actual construction to H.B. Tichenor, a San Francisco businessman.

The entire right of way from the Los Angeles City limits to Wilmington cost eight dollars, as most of the land was either donated outright or was procured for nominal sums, the owners anticipating benefits from the railroad running through their property.  The route chosen followed the San Pedro Road and Alameda Street, and skirted the eastern base of Dominguez Hill, and resulted in Downey withdrawing from the project, as he wanted the route to use the western side of Dominguez Hill, thereby passing through land he owned.

By June 14, 1869 only  of track had been finished, and farmers began to complain, as they anticipated saving on freight charges if they could ship their large grain crop, due to be harvested soon, by railroad. More workers were added and by June 20, another  were constructed. By August 19,  had been finished.

In February 1869 a depot site was purchased on the southwest corner of Alameda and Commercial Streets in Los Angeles. The wharf in Wilmington was improved by the addition of a depot, warehouse, a coal shed and the needed right of way.

The first locomotive in Southern California, the "San Gabriel", was put into service when the line opened on October 26, 1869, with an excursion to Wilmington and a grand ball. Regular service commenced on November 1, 1869, with trains leaving Los Angeles at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and Wilmington at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Passenger fares from Los Angeles to Wilmington were $1.50 ().

Impact

The railroad resulted in reduced fares and freight rates from Los Angeles to Banning's Wilmington wharf, with passenger rates from depot to depot set at $1.50, with an additional $1.00 charge from the wharf to steamers standing offshore, unable to dock in the shallow waters around the dock.  Freight rates for the first six months of operation totaled $61,847, an improvement over the $171,988 it would have cost using previous transportation methods.

There were controversies over the construction and financing, and complaints about the southern terminal not being on a deep-water port. Some newspapers criticized the "Railroad Ring" and complained about high freight rates. The city of Los Angeles eventually filed suit against the railroad, a suit that was eventually dropped.

The railroad was a strong stimulant to Los Angeles. Remi Nadeau's shipments of silver and lead from the Cerro Gordo Mines used the line to access the port at Wilmington, which increased coastal freight traffic and made Wilmington a much more active port, allowing it to build new amenities such as the Exchange Hotel and the Railroad Saloon.

The railroad spurred new communities along the route.  Florence, a farming community, was created about  south of the Los Angeles depot.  Comptonville (later Compton) was founded as Methodist temperance community about  further south.  further was Dominguez Station, which served the needs of the Dominguez family and their ranch. And Cerritos was created  further south as the shipping point for the Cerritos sheep ranch.

In 1871, there were reports that the railroad would be extended to Anaheim, and then through San Bernardino to Arizona or Utah. Congress, responding to requests from Southern California representatives, voted $200,000 for a deep water port on March 2, 1871.

Acquisition by Southern Pacific
In 1872, the Southern Pacific Railroad was building a line south from San Francisco, and Los Angeles was concerned that the main line might bypass the little community entirely, so Harris Newmark and John G. Downey met with Collis P. Huntington about running the line through Los Angeles. Huntington agreed, but insisted on a subsidy which also included the stock of the Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad, consistent with a state law passed in 1870 which made it possible for cities to pass bond measures of up to 5% of its property value to aid in railroad building. In return, Southern Pacific agreed to build  of lines connecting Los Angeles with other outlying areas, as well as running its main line through the city.

This proposal was well-received by the public.  A letter published in the Los Angeles Star favorably compared the $525,000 cost of the subsidy to the approximately $4 million cost of the lines to be built, and the possible appreciation in property values.  Only Anaheim, which favored a direct connection to a harbor, was opposed to the suggestion. In July, 1872 there was a meeting about the Southern Pacific's proposition; the city of Los Angeles agreed to donate the stock it held in the Los Angeles and San Pedro R.R. Finally, on November 5, 1872, in a county-wide election, voters decided to accept the Southern Pacific's offer.  the final vote was 1,896 For the SP and 724 Against.

The LA and SP RR was formally transferred to the Southern Pacific on April 23, 1873.

This not only allowed the SP to acquire a money-making railroad, but also gave the company a monopoly of port facilities at Wilmington until that monopoly was broken by the Los Angeles Terminal Railway twenty years later.

After the Southern Pacific Acquisition
From this initial beginning, the Southern Pacific built a station at San Fernando Road just north of the city of Los Angeles, called the River Station.  It then constructed a  line northward to San Fernando, which would eventually be connected to its line from San Francisco. It also constructed a line  east to Spadra, a community east of Pomona; this line would eventually connect to the Southern Pacific southern route main line.  Finally it built a line south east to Anaheim, which opened in January, 1875.

With the completion of the main line to Los Angeles on September 9, 1876, the Southern Pacific Railway had a complete monopoly on Los Angeles rail transportation, in the city area and to the harbor.

title: The Trapp Family in America

text:
The Trapp Family in America () is a 1958 West German comedy drama film about the real-life Austrian musical Trapp Family directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner and starring Ruth Leuwerik, Hans Holt, and Josef Meinrad. It is a sequel to the 1956 film The Trapp Family. It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich. The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Herlth.

Plot
The von Trapps have left Austria and are now in the United States. But the Land of Unlimited Possibilities turns out to be anything but for our hapless heroes. Though the American public has demonstrated countless times, that they'll pay anything to hear German folk songs and other pop songs, the von Trapps on the verge of being penniless and suicidal, thanks to Father Wasner, who's determined to teach Americans to appreciate great church music ... no matter how much his "cultural mission" pushes the von Trapps to starvation.  Only the insistence of paying patrons that they drop the holy roller music and the guffaws of the audience abandoning their shows finally convinces Maria, that it's time to start entertaining the paying public and give Palestrina a rest. Eventually they receive critical acclaim and a large following for their music. Later, they purchase a farm in Stowe Vermont and decide to remain in America.

title: Uriage-les-Bains

text:
Uriage-les-Bains (or Uriage) is a spa town in France, at  above sea level. Uriage is attached to the communes of Saint-Martin-d'Uriage and Vaulnaveys-le-Haut and is located in the department of Isère, beneath the ski resort of Chamrousse. The inhabitants are called the Uriageois (es). Uriage does not have the status of a municipality.

Uriage is served by the departmental road 524, which is the old N524 from Grenoble to Vizille, through Gières.

Origin
The town was established during the Roman Empire. The Romans built baths to enjoy the anti-rheumatic properties of the springwater. They ventured up to the Croix de Chamrousse at the foot of which, eight Roman bronze medals were found, in 1856.

Uriage thermal water
Uriage thermal water contains sulphide and salt, and has a molecular concentration similar to that of human blood serum, which is unique in the world and allowed to be administered directly in intra-muscular injections.

There are various curing techniques including showers, baths, hydromassages, applications of mud, filiform shower and aerosols.

Omnivore's initial releases were a pair of limited-edition vinyl issues for Record Store Day on April 16, 2011: the Big Star album Third [Test Pressing Edition], and the 7″ single "Close Up the Honky Tonks" by Buck Owens. Since then, the label has maintained a steady stream of releases.

The label releases recordings in a wide variety of formats, including but not limited to CD, digital, vinyl, flexi discs, cylinders and more. Some are limited editions; however, most are widely available through regular retail outlets worldwide. Billboard noted the "great historical significance" of Omnivore's limited-edition release in April 2012 of a rare recording of Buck Owens performing at the White House for President Lyndon Johnson in 1968, newly pressed by Omnivore on flexi discs in red, white, or blue, each copy packaged with an original uncirculated coloring book that had been commissioned by Owens in 1970 and preserved unreleased for over 40 years.

Omnivore also acquires vintage master recordings and publishing catalogues from defunct companies. These include the Nighthawk Records and Ru-Jac Records labels, and the Blackheart Music Publishing catalog.

Omnivore's releases are distributed by The Orchard/Sony Music.

title: Tours Métropole Basket

text:
Tours Métropole Basket () is a French professional basketball club based in the city of Tours in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France.

Founded in 1925, its heyday was in the 1970s under the name ASPO Tours, with two league titles in 1976 and 1980 and a European Cup Winners' Cup final in 1976.

After going through financial strife and successive reorganisations, Tours Métropole Basket is now the heir of the bankrupt club. As recently as the 2017–18 season, it had played in the fourth-tier Nationale 2, but earned promotion to Nationale 1 for 2018–19, and returned to the professional ranks by earning promotion to LNB Pro B for 2021–22.

History

ASPO Tours
The club was formed as the sports wing of railway company Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans in the city of Tours with the name Association Sportive du Paris-Orléans.
It therefore had close links to the railway industry, with a good portion of members either related to or themselves workers in the industry. As such the club later received subsidies from SNCF, the nationalised railway company, also enjoying in kind benefits such as reduced ticket fares.

The basketball section was formed in 1925, a women's section was created in 1937.

ASPO was Touraine champion every year from 1932 to 1940.
During the 1950s, after the parent company had been amalgamated into the SNCF, the club was renamed Association Sportive de Préparation Olympique, keeping the same initials.
It reached the Nationale, the highest division in the country, in 1950, staying there until 1953 before returning in 1955.

The club saw its first foreign recruits in 1956, two American soldiers from a military base in nearby Chinon.

After beating Berck (crowned champions in 1973 and 1974) by two points in March 1976, Tours won the French league that same year.
It also reached the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1976, in only its second participation in a European competition.
However, the French would lose 83–88 to Cinzano Milano.

The club had an unremarkable European Champions Cup, not repeating its success domestically either, with two successive seventh-place finishes before a fourth place in 1978–1979.

ASPO Tours was again crowned French champion in 1980.

Tours Basket Club
In 1981, the ASPO basketball section became Tours Basket Club and became independent in all ways from the other sections of the organisation.

After a series of mid-table finishes, Tours ended the 1988–89 season in the penultimate place and was relegated from the first division.

NPO
During the 1997–98 season, Tours Basket Club became NPO Tours (a pseudo-acronym in effect signifying New PO), also changing its historical colours of blue and white to red, white and black to mirror the successful Chicago Bulls.

The club had been struggling financially for years and that season worsened the situation. NPO Tours was declared bankrupt on 5 June 1998  with debts of 4.5 million francs, its participation in the league had been earlier denied.

Later incarnations
Touraine Basket Club was formed the same year, playing in the Nationale 2, the amateur fourth division.
In 2004, the municipalities of Tours and neighbouring Joué-lès-Tours pushed for a union between TBC and  AS Jocondien  from the latter town, which resulted in the fusion side Tours Joué Basket, playing in Nationale 2.
However, it proved an awkward collaboration and the club amassed significant debts (€130,000 out of a budget of  €380 000) and was declared bankrupt in 2009.

Touraine BC then played alone in the Nationale 3, the fifth division.
After repeated requests from TBC, a union was formed with PLL Tours, then of Nationale 2, in June 2014 to form Union Tours Basket Métropole.

Arena
After playing on an ever-changing number of courts, mostly uncovered outside courts, the club moved into the Palais des sports de Tours (known later as Palais des sports Robert Grenon) when it was inaugurated in October 1956.

When the club became Tours Joué Basket it played in the Palais des Sports Marcel Cerdan in Joué-lès-Tours.
As Touraine Basket Club it played in the Gymnase du Hallebardier until January 2012.
That year it moved into the newly constructed Gymnase Monconseil (capacity:1,200).

title: Robert Butler (U.S. commander)

text:
Robert Butler  was an American military officer and acting governor of East Florida between 10 July 1821 and 11 July 1821, after Florida was ceded to the United States by Spain.

Robert Butler was born in 1786.  In his youth, he joined the U.S. Army, attaining the ranks of colonel and commander.

Shortly after the death of his father Thomas Butler, Robert Butler and his siblings became wards of future president Andrew Jackson. He was a graduate of West Point and later served with distinction in the War of 1812. He served in the Battle of New Orleans as Jackson's adjutant.

Later, José María Coppinger delivered East Florida to Butler, who served as the representative of Jackson. He was named acting Governor of East Florida on 10 July 1821; but he was in charge for only two days, until the arrival of John R. Bell.

He was later appointed as the first surveyor general of the territory of Florida and settled on a plantation near Lake Jackson located to the north of Tallahassee.

Robert Butler died in 1860. He is the namesake of the city of Lake Butler, Florida.

title: Hrabove, Donetsk Oblast

text:
Hrabove (, also spelled as Grabove), also known as Grabovo () is a village in Horlivka Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine. Its population was 1,000 as of the 2001 Ukrainian census. It is known for being the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was shot down by Igor Girkin, Sergey Dubinsky, and Leonid Kharchenko, and crashed in the south of the village.

Hrabove is located beside the Mius river, some ten kilometers north-east of Shakhtarsk, and on the border between the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblast.

History
The village was founded in the late 15th century on the left bank of the river Mius; it was repositioned to its present site in 1787.

A stone church, the Holy Trinity Church, was built in 1803. Its basic form survives to this day, though it was substantially rebuilt in 1903.

After the fall of the Russian Empire, Hrabove was part of the Ukrainian People's Republic. In February 1918, it came under the control of the Makhnovshchina, led by the anarchist revolutionary Nestor Makhno. After the Ukrainian–Soviet War, Hrabove became part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

During World War II, the area was occupied by Nazi Germany at the conclusion of Operation Barbarossa. It returned to Soviet control following the Donbas strategic offensive of August 1943.

Following the outbreak of the war in Donbas in 2014, Hrabove fell under the control of the Russian-backed breakaway Donetsk People's Republic. In 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine and unilaterally annexed Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. In Ukrainian law, Hrabove and the other annexed regions remain part of the "temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine".

Shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

The village came to international attention when it became the site of much of the debris from the destruction of the Boeing 777 operating Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, which was shot down in the region on 17 July 2014, killing all 298 on board. At the time, Hrabove was in the area contested by Ukrainian military forces and Russian people's militias as part of the war in Donbas.

Politics and national identities
Since 2010 the head of the village council has been Volodymyr Berezhnyi (born 1955).

The 2001 census indicated a population of 1,000 people, categorized according to preferred mother tongue as 77.5% Ukrainian speaking and 22.0% Russian speaking, with a handful of Belarusian speakers. Most people living in the village identify as Ukrainian.

He is very devoted to John the Baptist, so Agostino lights a candle every night in a small chapel in the courtyard. But some of the oil in the wax necessary for the luminary, disappears every night. It is a fact that Agostino does not tolerate theft, but he does not know that behind these thefts continue, there is a gang of thugs. Meanwhile, Agostino, in addition to following the case of oil stolen, must fight against the daughter Serafina who has fallen in love with a poor young lamplighter. But he also has to fight against his wife Concetta, authoritative and cruel woman, so he hopes that St. John makes a grace for him, taking away her voice.

title: Tan Li

text:
Tan Li (; born October 1955) is a former Chinese politician who spent most of his career in Sichuan and Hainan provinces. Tan served in prominent municipal posts in Sichuan, first as Communist Party Secretary of Guang'an, then Party Secretary of Mianyang. He was subsequently transferred to take charge of party propaganda in Hainan Province, then became Vice Governor of Hainan beginning in 2010.

In 2014, Tan was subject to a corruption investigation by the Communist Party's internal disciplinary body. His Hainan colleague Ji Wenlin was also implicated with corruption. Tan was removed from office in July 2014. He has been linked to disgraced security tsar Zhou Yongkang.

Biography

Early life
Tan was born and raised in Chongqing, where he graduated from Chongqing Normal University.

During the Down to the Countryside Movement, Tan worked as a sent-down youth in Changning County, Sichuan. After the resumption of university entrance examination, Tan was admitted to Chongqing Normal University and received a degree on political history. After college, he was assigned to Yibin department of education, and later a provincial party-run school. He taught administrative management. He was given the title of "professor" in December 1992.

In September 1995, Tan was appointed the Communist Party Secretary of Pi County, a position he held until May 1998. He then worked as the head of the Chengdu propaganda department. In March 2001, Tan was transferred to Guang'an as the Party Secretary, then he was transferred laterally to serve as party chief in Mianyang in December 2004, where he served until March 2009.

Mianyang, Sichuan earthquake
The 2008 Sichuan earthquake struck the province in May 2008. Mianyang was particularly hard hit. The region was given special attention by the central government; both General Secretary and President Hu Jintao as well as Premier Wen Jiabao visited the region in the aftermath of the earthquake. In a widely circulated photo, Tan was seen smiling in the entourage of the Premier. In a television broadcast, Tan was also seen smiling amid the debris. Tan's smiling during the most destructive earthquake to hit the country since 1976 generated significant criticism online; internet users dubbed him "Tan Xiaoxiao" (, literally "the laughing Tan") or the "Smiling Secretary" ().

Tan responded to his critics during a media interview, "I don't think people know the truth... behind that incident. The General Secretary and the Premier were both visiting, I was greeting them. I was happy to see them, of course I wanted to smile." He also said that he faced immense stress coordinating the response to the earthquake, and that "as a public official, you need to withstand this stress [from the criticism], otherwise it will affect the work of the earthquake rescue activities. I'm the party secretary, like any politician, criticism comes with the job.

In the aftermath of the earthquake, Tan lived in a makeshift office, on the first floor, and slept on a sofa. Southern Weekend reported that Tan would scream and cry at night due to dealing with too much stress. Tan later received a medal of distinction from the central authorities for "exemplary work during the rescue efforts of the Sichuan earthquake." He was praised for the construction of permanent housing for locals in the aftermath of the earthquake, as well as the treatment of the water in a local lake which was affected by the earthquake.

Tan's term in Mianyang has also been marred with rumours that his second wife, a television host, had business interests which benefitted from government contracts aimed at increasing green space in Mianyang. His wife was made an official in Beichuan County, one of the places hardest hit by the earthquake, shortly after the earthquake struck. She then worked for the provincial Red Cross. A Caijing investigation also concluded that Tan took bribes from local businessman Liu Han (); Tan was said to have received several million yuan in gifts during the wedding reception of his daughter.

Hainan
In March 2009, Tan was elevated to lead the Communist Party's provincial propaganda department in Hainan province. This was a promotion that elevated him from the prefecture level to a provincial-level leadership body. During a meeting of the Hainan government where Tan's transfer was announced, one of the provincial government leaders showered Tan with praise, remarking, "this marks a strengthening of talent in the Hainan provincial government." He was elected as Vice-Governor of Hainan in January 2010.

Downfall
On July 8, 2014, it was announced that Tan was undergoing investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Chinese Communist Party for "serious violations of laws and regulations", in a case that was tied to the corruption investigation of Ji Wenlin, another provincial official in Hainan. According to state media, Tan's offenses included accepting bribes, extramarital relationships, and engaging in "lavish meals, karaoke, and other expensive pastimes." Both Tan Li and Ji Wenlin had at one point worked under then-Sichuan Party Secretary Zhou Yongkang. One day after state media announced the investigation into Zhou, Tan was removed from office.

Tan was expelled from the Communist Party in September 2014. On October 13, 2016 , Tan was sentenced to life in prison for guilty of bribery in Guangzhou People's Intermediate Court.

Personal life
Tan was twice married. His second wife worked as a television host for Mianyang Television.

title: Maria Vryoni

text:
Maria Louiza Vryoni (; born October 21, 1982, in Athens) is an amateur Greek freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's heavyweight category. She finished fourth in the 72-kg division at the 2013 Mediterranean Games in Mersin, Turkey, and also represented her home nation Greece at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Vryoni also trained most of her time as a member of Atlas Kallitheas Wrestling Club in Athens, under her coach Panagiotis Kalaitzidis.

Vryoni qualified as a member of the Greek squad in the women's 72 kg, when Greece welcomed the world to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She filled up an entry by the International Federation of Association Wrestling and the Hellenic Olympic Committee, as Greece received an automatic berth for being the host nation. Amassed the home crowd inside Ano Liossia Olympic Hall, Vryoni was haplessly pinned by Ukraine's Svetlana Saenko in her opening match, but bounced back to defeat Mongolia's Ochirbatyn Burmaa with an arduous 3–4 decision. Despite missing a chance for a medal, Vryoni seized an opportunity to compete against Germany's Anita Schätzle in the classification match, but was easily upset by Schatzle with another fall after fourteen seconds, placing only eighth in the final standings.

title: Welcome (sternwheeler)

text:
Welcome was a sternwheel steamboat that was operated on the Coquille River on the south Oregon coast from 1900 to 1907.

Design, construction, and launch
Welcome was built at Coquille, Oregon, in 1900 by S.H. McAdams  The steamer was  long, with a beam of  and depth of hold of .<ref name = 1901_list>[https://books.google.com/books?id=B10uAAAAYAAJ&q=Harrington&pg=PA255 Annual List of Merchant Vessels (for year ending June 30, 1901).]</ref>  The overall size of the vessel was 30 gross and 21 registered tons.
Power was furnished by twin steam engines, each driving a pitman arm connected to a crankpin on the sternwheel.

Service and route Welcome was intended to be used for passenger service on the Coquille River.  The route on the Coquille ran from Bandon on the coast, upriver to the county sea, Coquille, and then to Myrtle Point, which was near the head of navigation.

In 1901 only three steamers served on the river between Coquille and Myrtle Point, these were the propeller Reta (18 registered tons) the sternwheeler Echo (53 registered tons) and Welcome (21 registered tons).   Between these three vessels they hauled 1,554 tons of freight upriver and 2,834 tons downriver.  Upriver, the biggest single item was general merchandise, 800 tons.  Downriver was almost entirely agricultural products, with the biggest single item being 1,035 tons of milk. 10,187 passengers were carried up and downriver.

Stranding and rescue
On March 7, 1902, at 12:30 pm while en route to Bandon, Welcome became stranded on the north flats of the Coquille River during a very heavy squall, with the wind blowing at gale strength and a rough sea.  The vessel was immediately spotted by the personnel at the Coquille River Life-Saving Station, who boarded the steamer and then passed a line to the steamer Favorite.  Favorite however was not able to haul Welcome off the bank, and so the life-savers returned to the life-saving station in the surfboat, where they obtained an anchor, hawser, and cables, then rowed back to where Welcome was stranded.  They rigged the anchor to Welcome, and that night, when the tide was high, hove the vessel off the bank without damage.  Because the master of the Welcome was unfamiliar with the route, and the night was very dark, the keeper of the life-saving station piloted Welcome down to Bandon.

DispositionWelcome'' was stranded on January 11, 1907, at Myrtle Point and became a total loss. The vessel broke its mooring lines during high water, drifted into trees, and was damaged beyond repair.

title: George Herbert Kinsolving

text:
George Herbert Kinsolving (April 28, 1849 – October 23, 1928) was an American religious leader who was the second bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, serving from 1893 to 1928.

Early life and family
Kinsolving was born on April 28, 1849, in Bedford County, Virginia. He came from a family of clergymen. His father, the Reverend Otis Americus Kinsolving (1822–1894), minister at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Middleburg, Virginia became an avid Confederate, especially supporting Mosby's Rangers although G.H. Kinsolving's brother joined the Richmond Howitzers light artillery. The family of his father's second wife likewise supported the Confederacy (her father Asa Rogers became a local militia general), and after her death from complications of childbirth, Rev. Otis Kinsolving was imprisoned for treason by occupying Union forces. The child whose birth led to that death,  Lucien Lee Kinsolving (1862–1929), later became the first missionary bishop of Brazil, and G.H. Kinsolving preached the sermon at the consecration ceremony attended by twelve bishops. His other half-brother by his father's second wife, Rev. Arthur Barksdale Kinsolving (1861–1961), also became known as an author and historian in Maryland. His half-brother by his father's third wife, Rev. Wythe Leigh Kinsolving, served Episcopal churches in the South and New York City. Whereas his father's family were prominent Episcopalians, his mother's family, the Krauths, were devout Lutherans.

Education and Ordained Ministry
Kinsolving was a student at the University of Virginia between 1868 and 1870, after which he taught a year in a boys' school near Baltimore. He later studied at the Virginia Theological Seminary from where he graduated in 1874. In 1892 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Sacred Theology by Griswold College in Davenport, Iowa, and a Doctor of Divinity in 1893 by the University of the South.

He was the ordained deacon on June 26, 1874, by Bishop John Johns of Virginia and then priest in 1875 by Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham of Maryland. He initially served as assistant at Christ Church in Baltimore between 1874 and 1875, and then rector of St Mark's Church, Baltimore from 1875 until 1878. In 1878, he became rector of St John's Church in Cincinnati, while in 1881 he transferred to the Church of the Epiphany in Philadelphia where he remain until 1892. He married Grace Jaggar on October 8, 1879, and they had one child.

Episcopacy

June Yap (; born 1974) is a Singaporean curator, art critic, and writer. She is currently the Director of Curatorial & Collections at the Singapore Art Museum.

Yap has worked in the curatorial departments of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City, the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, and the Singapore Art Museum. As an independent curator, Yap has further organised shows at the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, Stuttgart, at the Osage Gallery, Hong Kong, and the NUS Museum, Singapore. In 2011, Yap curated the Singapore Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale, featuring Ho Tzu Nyen's video installation, The Cloud of Unknowing.

Education
Yap holds a BA from the National University of Singapore in philosophy and sociology. She received her MA in Fine Art (Art History) at the University of Melbourne, and her PhD. in Cultural Studies at the National University of Singapore.

Career
From 2003 to 2004, Yap organised new media art exhibitions as a curator at the Singapore Art Museum, later joining the institution's acquisitions committee. Her projects at the Singapore Art Museum from this time include Interrupt (2003), Twilight Tomorrow (2004), Seni: Singapore 2004, and Art & the Contemporary (2004).

Prior to 2008, Yap was the deputy director and Curator of the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, after which she would continue her curatorial practice as an independent curator. In 2008, Yap curated Bound for Glory at the NUS Museum as an independent curator. In 2010, Yap curated You and I, We’ve Never Been so Far Apart: Works From Asia for the Center for Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv for the International Video Art Biennial.

In 2011, Yap was curator for the Singapore Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale, featuring The Cloud of Unknowing by Singaporean artist Ho Tzu Nyen, a video installation that drew upon both the titular 14th-century mystical treatise and Hubert Damisch’s semiotic thesis, A Theory of /Cloud/: Toward a History of Painting.

From 2012 to 2014, Yap was selected for a residency at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum as part of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative. During her two-year stint, she was UBS MAP Curator, South and Southeast Asia, and in 2013 she organised the first exhibition of the initiative, No Country: Contemporary Art for South and Southeast Asia, which later in 2014 traveled to the Asia Society Hong Kong Center and the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore, where the show won Best Exhibition of Asian Contemporary Art at the Prudential Eye Awards. As part of her residency at the Guggenheim, Yap initiated the museum's Perspectives series, which featured essays, stories, and interviews by international artists, writers, and curators, and she would present about the series at a symposium held at the Queens Museum in 2013.

Published in 2016, Yap is the author of Retrospective: A Historiographical Aesthetic in Contemporary Singapore and Malaysia (Petaling Jaya: SIRD, 2016). In 2016, she was a member of the advisory committee of the 5th Singapore Biennale, and was meant to curate the Singapore Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017 before she left the team in January 2017 due to what the Singapore National Arts Council cited as "differences in the operational approaches." In August 2017, she was appointed the Director of Curatorial, Collections and Programmes at the Singapore Art Museum.

In 2020, Yap co-curated the exhibition They Do Not Understand Each Other, with Yuka Uematsu, National Museum of Art, Osaka, at Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong.

In 2021, Yap curated the exhibition The Gift that was part of Collecting Entanglements and Embodied Histories - a dialogue between the collections of the Singapore Art Museum, Galeri Nasional Indonesia, MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum and Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, initiated by the Goethe-Institut - with co-curators Anna-Catharina Gebbers, Grace Samboh and Gridthiya Gaweewong. She also presented the exhibition Nam June Paik: The Future is Now as Senior Curator of National Gallery Singapore, a collaborating partner of the touring exhibition with Tate Modern and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Also in 2021, Yap was appointed co-Artistic Director of the seventh edition of the Singapore Biennale opening in 2022, together with Binna Choi from South Korea/the Netherlands, Nida Ghouse from India, living in Germany, and Ala Younis from Jordan.
