title: The Last of Us: American Dreams

text:
The Last of Us: American Dreams is a four-issue comic book series based on the video game The Last of Us. It was written by The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann and cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks, with illustrations by Hicks and coloring by Rachelle Rosenberg. The series was published by Dark Horse Comics between April and July 2013, and a collected edition was published in October 2013.

Like the game, the comic is set in a post-apocalyptic United States, overrun by zombie-like creatures infected by a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus. The comics serve as a prequel to the game, chronicling the journey of the young Ellie and her meeting with another young survivor, Riley Abel. Druckmann chose Ellie as the focus of the comic due to the uniqueness of her birth and upbringing in the post-apocalyptic world. Hicks joined the project after discovering Ellie's role in the game, considering her an unusual character to include in a survival horror game. The comic's art style is different than the game art—a choice from Hicks to give the comic a unique feel and identity.

The series received generally positive reviews. Critics particularly praised Druckmann's writing and character development, as well as the simplicity of Hicks' illustrations. The series was also a commercial success, with some issues requiring reprinting due to high demand.

Publication history

Dark Horse Comics approached creative director Neil Druckmann, who was working on The Last of Us, to produce a tie-in comic book series for the game. Druckmann was initially wary of the idea, but eventually agreed when he realized Dark Horse "didn't want to do something tangential" with the opportunity of expanding their characters and universe beyond the game. Work on the comic began during the game's development, which allowed the stories of the two projects to integrate, and influence each other. Druckmann requested webcomic artist Faith Erin Hicks as a collaborator on the project, after reading her comic Friends with Boys (2012) and appreciating "how personal it felt". He also felt that Hicks could capture the "gritty" feel of the game. Hicks then sent some concept art to Dark Horse as a pitch for the job; they accepted, and she became officially involved with the project. Hicks was drawn to the project after reading about the character of Ellie in the game's script; she considered Ellie an unusual character to include in a survival horror game, calling her a "tough teenage girl who wasn't sexualized, and who seemed very much the equal of her male counterpart". Hicks was given access to various gameplay sequences and the game's script during development, to allow her to better understand the story. She was also given videos of the actors performing on set, which was helpful when illustrating the characters. "I get a look at these characters and I see them interacting as human beings, not just as concept art," said Hicks.

Ellie's backstory was originally intended to fit as a gameplay sequence within The Last of Us, but this was ultimately scrapped. When Dark Horse approached Naughty Dog with the idea of a comic book, Druckmann had the opportunity to tell the story. Druckmann found that Ellie was the ideal main character for the comic due to her birth and upbringing; while characters like Joel mostly lived in the world before the outbreak, Ellie is unaware of life prior to the outbreak. This created an interesting idea for Druckmann, who became intrigued with discovering the effects of everyday actions in a post-apocalyptic world. Hicks enjoyed writing American Dreams, particularly due to the humor featured in the comic. Druckmann allowed Hicks to design the character of Riley, including her physical appearance, characteristics, and most of her dialogue. "It felt like a good way to split it, where [Hicks] would own Riley and I would own Ellie," said Druckmann. When creating the comic's art style, Hicks avoided replicating the game art, instead opting to "draw it in [her] own style and to the best of [her] ability". She felt that the art style is slightly "cartoony", which is partially due to Ellie's young age. "If [the comic] was hyper-realistic and super-rendered, I think it would undermine the story we're trying to tell", said Hicks. When designing the character Angel Knives for the comic's second issue, Hicks was inspired by the style of the characters from the Mortal Kombat series.

The first issue of the comic was published on April 3, 2013, and a reprint became available on May 29; the second issue was also published on May 29, followed by the third issue on June 26, and the fourth issue on July 31. All four issues were republished in a collected edition as a single package on October 30, 2013. The comics were republished with new cover art by David Blatt in the Firefly Edition of The Last of Us Part I on September 2, 2022.

Plot
At the Boston quarantine zone, Ellie becomes caught in a fight with a group of boys who attempt to steal her belongings. Riley Abel steps in to break up the fight, beating one of the boys and making the others flee. Ellie becomes angered by this, claiming that she can take care of herself. Riley then advises Ellie to flee, but the latter is caught and assigned to cleaning duty. While she is completing the chore, she realizes that Riley stole her Walkman, and later demands that she return it, which Riley reluctantly does.

At night, Ellie catches Riley attempting to sneak out of the school, and demands to accompany her. Riley reluctantly agrees, and the two make their way to the mall, where they meet Riley's friend Winston. As Winston teaches Ellie how to ride a horse, Riley steals his radio, and discovers that an attack by the Fireflies—a rebel group opposing the quarantine zone authorities—has occurred nearby. Ellie and Riley make their way to the attack, and find that the Fireflies are wounded and outnumbered. To help, Ellie and Riley throw smoke grenades at the military, allowing the Fireflies to retreat safely. They are spotted by the military, and escape into a nearby alley, where they narrowly avoid being bitten by an Infected—zombie-like creatures infected by a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus.

The girls are soon captured by Fireflies, who restrain them; Marlene, the leader of the Fireflies, recognizes Ellie, and demands that she remain safe. When Riley claims she would like to join their group, Marlene refuses, and the two argue, resulting in Marlene threatening to shoot Riley. Ellie intervenes, demanding at gunpoint that Marlene explain how she knows information about Ellie. When Ellie finally lowers the gun, Marlene informs her that she knew Ellie's mother, and had promised her that she would take care of Ellie. Ellie hands the gun to Marlene, who says that she would tell her more about her mother in the future, before telling the girls to leave. When Ellie and Riley reenter the quarantine zone, Riley says that there is no escape. Ellie suggests running away, but Riley informs her that this will just result in death. The two then walk back into the school.

Reception

The Last of Us: American Dreams received generally positive reviews. Praise was particularly directed at the story and artwork of the comic, which were said to complement each other. The comic was also a commercial success; the first issue sold out, and the resulting high demand led to Dark Horse reissuing the installment.

The comic's story received positive reactions. Lonnie Nadler of Bloody Disgusting felt unsure about the story in the first two issues due to their dedication to character development, but praised the final issue for delivering "authentic drama and raw intensity" which was missing from previous issues. IGN's Jesse Schedeen felt that the story served to enhance the world and characters, and later praised the comic's availability to readers who had not played the game. Conversely, Nathan Butler of Invisible Gamer felt that the introduction and development of the first two issues could have been shortened, and that the final issue attempted to include too much content, ultimately calling the comic a "sub-par attempt at a video game tie-in series".

Reviewers also praised the comic's artwork. Alasdair Stuart of SciFiNow wrote that the art was "so expressive and relaxed", naming Hicks "one of the best artists of her generation". Jen Bosier of Forbes felt that the art style worked well within the context of the story, and IGN's Schedeen felt that the comic heavily relied on the artwork, and that its art style gave it a unique "style and identity". Nadler of Bloody Disgusting called it "quite simplistic, but very clean", and "visually expressive when it matters", comparing it to Scott Pilgrim. Nadler also praised the choice of color, stating that it contained "the right palette of dark and murkey hues", as well as the cover artwork, calling it "consistently stunning". Jennifer Cheng of Comic Book Resources also wrote that the colors fit with the setting of the comic. Peter Jubinsky of Geeks of Doom particularly praised Hicks' depiction of the Infected as "in pain and desperate", calling this "especially harrowing".

title: Almunge Church

text:
Almunge Church () is a Lutheran church at Almunge  in Uppsala County, Sweden. The church is associated with the Archdiocese of Uppsala of the Church of Sweden

History and architecture

The history of Almunge Church is somewhat opaque; probably the church was built sometime between 1250 and 1350. The church porch is a later addition, probably built during the 15th century. During the same century the church was remade internally and equipped with brick vaulting, decorated with murals in the style of painter Albertus Pictor (ca.1440–1509). The church was enlarged during the 17th century with the presently visible choir and the external buttresses. During this time the paintings were also covered with whitewash but rediscovered and laid bare again in 1911. New windows were added and old ones enlarged during the 19th century. The organ façade is in neoclassical style  designed  in 1834 by architect Carl Gustaf Blom Carlsson (1799–1868).

Of the furnishings, the baptismal font  dates to the medieval era. The altarpiece and the pulpit both date from the early 18th century.
Both feature gold baroque trimming by German-Swedish sculptor  Burchard Precht (1651–1738).

title: Anton Braith

text:
Anton Braith (2 September 1836 – 3 January 1905) was a German landscape and animal painter. He was also a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich

Life

Braith was born in Biberach an der Riß. His father was a day-laborer who later became a farm manager. As a child, Braith helped herd the cattle. In 1851, he won a scholarship to attend the Royal Art School in Stuttgart where he studied under Bernhard von Neher and Heinrich von Rustige. Later, in 1860, he and his classmate Albert Kappis moved to Munich, where they made the acquaintance of Christian Mali and became involved in several local "art colonies".

In 1867, he travelled to Paris, together with Kappis and Mali. Several exhibitions there, in Vienna and in Munich were very successful. By 1875, Braith was able to buy a villa in Biberach. He undertook his first trip to Italy in 1884 and returned there in 1889. During the Munich Secession in 1892, Braith remained loyal to the Academy.

He was diagnosed with liver disease in 1903 and, in 1904, went to Bolzano seeking a cure. Six months before his death, he returned to his home town. As he had never married, he left his estate to the city of Biberach, which used part of his legacy to create a museum. His friend Mali died shortly thereafter and also bequeathed his estate to the city. The two are buried side by side in the Old Catholic Cemetery.

The Braith-Mali Museum is now part of an expanded museum complex that also has a large collection of works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.

Work
Braith was a member of the Munich School and, after the death of Friedrich Voltz, was considered the greatest painter of animals in Germany. His primary subject was livestock, but he occasionally also painted poultry. He was the first to portray animals in large format, studio pictures. His success as a painter is often attributed to a sense of nostalgia induced by Germany's rapidly industrializing culture.

His work is divided into four phases:
 1851–1860: Idyllic landscape scenes after the manner of the Dutch.
 1860–1873: Animals in the context of genre scenes (e.g. with shepherds).
 1874–1894: Increasingly dramatic portrayals of animals in dynamic situations.
 1894–1904: Quieter scenes, essentially still-lifes, of animals on pastures.

title: 2014 Belgian Cup final

text:
The 2014 Belgian Cup final, named Cofidis Cup after the sponsor, was the 59th Belgian Cup final and took place on 22 March 2014 between Lokeren and Zulte Waregem. It was won by Lokeren with the only goal coming from Alexander Scholz. For Lokeren it was their second cup win in three years.

Match

Summary
Zulte Waregem had the best opportunities in a closed first half. Both Idrissa Sylla and Mbaye Leye saw their shot hit the post, while Lokeren only had one decent chance, the header of Nill De Pauw going wide.

In the second half, the goal by Jens Naessens was correctly disallowed for offside. With just under an hour played, Alexander Scholz headed the ball into the top corner of the goal, which would remain the only goal of the game as Zulte Waregem did not manage to break through the Lokeren defence in the last half-hour, even though they saw most of the ball.

title: The Jody Grind (band)

text:
The Jody Grind was an American band from the Cabbagetown neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

Karen Schoemer's review of their debut album for The New York Times put their sound in historical context: "This young band from Atlanta is so at home with the musical languages of past eras, one can imagine it sharing cocktail chitchat with Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra and the Gershwins." Billboard's Chris Morris described them as a "sweet, swinging."

The Jody Grind opened for R.E.M., Bob Margolin, Robyn Hitchcock and Poi Dog Pondering.

History
In 1988, vocalist Kelly Hogan met Bill Taft at one of his open mic nights at the White Dot in Atlanta. A mutual appreciation of old-time jazz and swing kicked off the friendship, and Taft soon invited Hogan to perform with him. They were soon joined by David Ellis (bass) and Walter Brewer (drums) and performed as An Evening With the Garbagemen. Ellis left soon after, and the band continued as a three-piece. He was eventually replaced by Robert Hayes.

By 1989, they were called the Jody Grind. In 1990, the band released their debut album, One Man's Trash (Is Another Man's Treasure). It was produced by John Keane and released by DB Records. Said Schoemer of that debut album: "Their eclecticism never sounds forced; the performances are loose and enthusiastic, and each song is linked by the smoky, sashaying vocals of Kelly Hogan Murray. Her singing, like the album, feels effortless and lovely." By 1990 they were playing packed crowds in Atlanta, many times sharing the bill with Atlanta performance artist and poet Deacon Lunchbox.

In 1992, the Jody Grind released their second album, Lefty's Deceiver. It was also produced by John Keane and released by DB Records. Soon after the album was recorded, Rob Clayton joined the band as their new drummer.

On April 19, 1992, less than a week after the release of Lefty’s Deceiver, a camper driven by a drunk driver crossed the I-65 median near Greenville, Alabama, and struck a borrowed van carrying Clayton, Hayes and Deacon Lunchbox, who were heading back to Atlanta from shows in Florida. Clayton, Hayes and Deacon Lunchbox died at the scene. Hogan and Taft had decided to spend the night in Pensacola and did not learn of the crash until arriving home.

After the crash, Hogan and Taft disbanded the Jody Grind and formed a duo called Kick Me.  Allen Page joined Kick Me, but the band broke up following his heroin overdose in 1994.

Hogan later moved to Chicago to continue a solo career, and has since played with a variety of bands, including Rock*A*Teens, Wee Hairy Beasties and Neko Case. Taft still lives in Atlanta and has been involved with several projects since, including Another Evening with the Garbageman, Smoke, Hubcap City and W8ing4UFOs.

title: Walter Caddell

text:
Brigadier-General Walter Buckingham Caddell (22 September 1879 – 20 April 1944) was a Royal Artillery, Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force officer who served in a number of senior military aviation appointments during World War I.

Born on 22 September 1879, the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Caddell and his wife Anna Matilda (née Persse), Walter Caddell was to grow up in a large family being the fourth child amongst nine children.

He was commissioned a Second lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Artillery on 26 May 1900, and promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 29 March 1902.

In March 1916 Caddell was appointed Deputy Assistant Director of Military Aeronautics at the War Office in London. He effectively served as the chief assistant to Brigadier-General Duncan MacInnes, the Director of Aircraft Equipment. It was in that capacity that he was introduced to George Constantinescu who had developed an experimental synchronization gear. With support from the Military Aeronautics Directorate, Constantinescu's synchronization gear was improved and deployed on aircraft in France. Archibald Low and the RFC Experimental Works, Feltham were under his command. In April 1917 Caddell took over from an overworked and exhausted MacInnes as Director of Aircraft Equipment.  He retired from the RAF on 28 May 1919 with the honorary rank of brigadier-general.

For her work on the city council, her advocacy of women in her political party, and her community activism she was made a member of the Order of Orange-Nassau in 2008.

Biography

Alice Besseling was born into a Roman Catholic family in Hem, a small community in West-Friesland, in 1944. From a young age she was interested in governance, first in youth organizations and later in professional organizationsin 1971 she was working for IBM when the Dutch government passed legislation mandating works councils for larger corporations, and she became the first elected member of the IBM works council. After her marriage she moved to Alphen aan den Rijn, where in 1978 she was elected to the city council for the newly formed Christian Democratic Appeal, a centrist-right coalition of Christian parties. She served on the city council until 1990. During her tenure she was active in supporting weaker members of society; she claimed that "social policy is too important to leave to left-wing parties". With a neighbor, Anke Bakker, she spent fifteen years researching the abandoned and razed Jewish cemetery on the Aarkade in Alphen aan den Rijn, uncovering much of the local Jewish history in the process (later the topic of a book by Bakker). In 2012, the city turned the abandoned cemetery into a city park and placed a monument remembering the Jewish community. Besseling was a founding member of the local women's group for the CDA, and until her death she was a member of her party's provincial women's group. In 2008, her contributions to the community were rewarded with membership in the Order of Orange-Nassau.

After resigning from the Alphen city council, she worked for eleven years at the Centre for Law in the Information Society at Leiden University, and retired in 2010.

Other community activities in Alphen includes founding and serving as a board member of a dance club for elderly singles, as president of the local athletic association Avanti, and as lector in Alphen's St. Boniface church.

text:
Alamance Regional Medical Center is a private, not-for-profit 238 bed hospital located in Burlington, North Carolina.  The hospital opened in 1995 on Huffman Mill Road.  Alamance Regional provides healthcare to residents of Alamance County, North Carolina and surrounding areas.  Alamance Regional joined the Cone Health network in May 2013.

History
Alamance Regional Medical Center roots began in 1916 with the opening of Rainey Hospital at 1308 Rainey Street in East Burlington.  This hospital was renamed  Alamance General Hospital, Inc., in 1937.  Rainey Hospital was the primary hospital in the area until Alamance County Hospital opened at 319 North Graham-Hopedale Road.  Rainey Hospital closed in 1961 when a replacement facility was built as Alamance Memorial Hospital.  The former hospital building is still used by private businesses.

Alamance County hospital opened in 1951.  This hospital was operated by Alamance County until turning private in the 1980s.  The former hospital building is currently owned and operated by Alamance County government as the Human Services Center.

Alamance Memorial Hospital opened as a 100-bed facility off of Edgewood Avenue in Burlington as a replacement for Rainey Hospital.  This facility was demolished and replaced with a retirement facility after the merger of the two county hospitals into Alamance Regional Medical Center.

In 1986, the two hospital boards merged the hospitals by resolution, making them subsidiaries of Alamance Health Services. Alamance Regional Medical Center was constructed as a replacement for the two older hospitals and opened in 1995.  In 2013, Alamance Regional Medical Center merged with Cone Health and became Cone Health Alamance Regional Medical Center.

title: Daniel Hogan (Illinois politician)

text:
Daniel Hogan (1849-1912) was an Irish American politician and telegrapher. Coming from Ireland to Pulaski County, Illinois with his parents at a young age, Hogan studied telegraphy in his youth. These skills were valuable during the Civil War and Hogan traveled with Ulysses S. Grant to several major battles. After a stint working for Western Union, Hogan returned to Illinois to be with his parents and was named to the Illinois Senate. He served four two-year terms.

Biography
Daniel Hogan was born in Kilkenny, Ireland on July 4, 1849. His parents immigrated with him to the United States in 1852 and settled in Pulaski County, Illinois. There, Hogan attended public schools and helped on the family farm. Later, he attended Cairo High School and independently studied telegraphy.

Hogan was too young to enlist in the Union Army when the Civil War broke out, but his elder brother snuck him into the 31st Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment, a unit under the command of John A. Logan. His telegraphy skills were noticed and he was sent to serve under Ulysses S. Grant's brigade with the telegraph corps. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant and was later promoted to captain. He was at many of Grant's major battles, including Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Corinth, Nashville, and Iuka.

He was mustered out at the close of the war, whereupon he attended the business school at Bryant & Stratton College. After graduation, he worked for Western Union in several cities. He returned to Mound City, Illinois in 1869 to attend to his aging parents. In 1873, Hogan was elected Pulaski County Clerk, holding the office for nine years. Hogan purchased the Pulaski Patriot in 1880. In 1882, Hogan was elected as a Republican to the Illinois Senate. He was re-elected in each election through 1890, serving four two-year terms. In 1889, he was named collector of internal revenue. He died in Danville in 1912.

title: Arthur St. Clair (minister)

text:
Arthur W. St. Clair (died 1877) was an African-American community leader in Brooksville, Florida, who was murdered in 1877 by a mob days after he presided over the marriage of a black man and a white woman in the area that is now Dade City, Florida. Controversy followed as efforts to investigate the white men accused of killing him were stymied. The courthouse was destroyed in a fire.

Slave
St. Clair was a slave on the plantation owned by John and Marina Sanderson May (who owned much of the land around what later became the town).

Career
After the American Civil War, he was Hernando County's first post-Civil War voter registrar (1867–1868). He submitted an affidavit to Congress alleging instances of ineligible voting during the November 1876 election for State Legislature.

St. Clair was a Baptist minister and founded Bethlehem Progressive Baptist Church. He also founded Hernando County's first school for blacks with his brother Hampton Sinclair. He was appointed by Florida's governor to lead the state's Third Brigade militia. He was a Hernando County Commissioner from 1875 until 1877.

St. Clair was a candidate for office in the state legislature three times as a Republican and would have been a fourth time but was murdered two months before the election.

Death
St. Clair was murdered in 1877. The killing took place after he presided over the marriage of Dave James and Lizzie Day, an interracial marriage (miscegenation). He was on his way back to Brooksville from the area that is now Dade City, Florida.

The county courthouse was destroyed in a fire that destroyed records including those related to the case and was followed by other obstructions of efforts seeking justice in the case.

Recognition
The Brooksville City Council named him a Great Brooksvillian in 2007, the city's sixth person designated with the honor and its first African-American so honored.

title: Tristeno

text:
Tristeno (; older name , ), is a village and a community of the Zagori municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of East Zagori, of which it was a municipal district. The 2011 census recorded 71 inhabitants in the village. The community of Tristeno covers an area of 15.325 km2.

History
Although no memories are preserved among the local population of any past Orthodox Christian Albanian presence, Albanian linguistic remnants in the local Greek speech may point that they were the first settlers of the village. This would also explain the local Aromanian name of the village given the nearby Aromanian settlement of Zagori (, "Albanian village"). Kahl (1999) suggests that the village might have been a mixed Albanian-Aromanian village, while Koukoudēs (2003) argues that it shouldn't be included among Vlach villages.

The Tristeno of Eastern Zagori is not known when it was created as a village. It was first recorded in a golden edict of 1319 (a type of concession) of Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II. It referred to a lord of Ioannina called Drestenikos, whose name existed at least until the last century in Ioannina.

Apparently from the name of this Byzantine honorary, the village was named Drestenikos Greek: Δρεστένικος and later Dresteniko Greek: Δρεστένικο and Ntresteniko Greek: Ντρεστένικο. Several years after the liberation of Epirus (1912-1913), in 1927 with a decree (ΦΕΚ 76/1927), it was renamed Tristeno, out of the three straits that exist above the village.

The first settlers are mentioned as shepherds from Himarra who brought their sheep for grazing in Zagori in the summer. This version is not accepted by the village's inhabitants who oppose the view that the first settlers came from Veria and were craftsmen.

title: Tim Cooney (baseball)

text:

The Cardinals selected him in the third round of the 2012 amateur draft after attending Wake Forest University and playing college baseball for the Demon Deacons. He made his major league debut on April 30, 2015.

Career

Amateur
Cooney attended Malvern Preparatory School in Malvern, Pennsylvania.  Pitching for Malvern's baseball team, Cooney won the Pennsylvania state championship in 2009.  Though Cooney received scholarship offers from Ivy League universities, he chose to enroll at Wake Forest University to play college baseball for the Demon Deacons in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).  As a sophomore, Cooney was named to the All-ACC second team. After the 2011 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham Anglers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.

St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals chose Cooney in the third round, with the 117th overall selection, of the 2012 MLB Draft.  He made his professional debut that year with the Batavia Muckdogs of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League.  In 2013, Cooney began the season with the Palm Beach Cardinals of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, and was promoted to the Springfield Cardinals of the Class AA Texas League.  The Cardinals invited Cooney to spring training in 2014.  With Springfield, he was a mid-season All-Star for the Texas League.  Next, Cooney pitched for the Memphis Redbirds of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL) in 2014, and opened the season with Memphis in 2015.  Entering the 2015 season, Baseball America rated Cooney as having the best control in the Cardinals organization.

Cooney made his major league debut on April 30, 2015, replacing the injured Adam Wainwright in the Cardinals' starting rotation.  Cooney struggled in his debut, and was optioned back to Memphis the next day.  On May 17, he was named the PCL Pitcher of the Week after allowing a 0.66 ERA in  IP against the New Orleans Zephyrs and Omaha Storm Chasers.  He also held batters to a .143 batting average against (7-for-49).  In his first 14 starts of the season with Memphis, Cooney completed  IP, allowing 27 ER for a 2.74 ERA.  He also struck out 63 batters and was 6–4 in won–loss decisions.  He was named to the 2015 PCL All-Star squad on July 1.  The Cardinals recalled him the next day when they placed outfielder Jon Jay on the disabled list.

On July 24 against the Atlanta Braves, Cooney earned his first major league victory by pitching a career-high seven innings in a 4−2 outcome.  He had previously received no-decisions in each of his first five major league starts.  Further, he had a 12-inning scoreless streak that ended in the sixth inning.  The Cardinals withheld Cooney from play for the remainder of the season starting on September 1 due to appendicitis.  His major league totals for the season included a 1–0 record, 3.16 ERA, 28 hits, 10 walks allowed and 29 strikeouts in  innings.

Prior to the 2016 season, Baseball America rated Cooney as the second-best prospect in the Cardinals organization. However, Cooney missed the whole 2016 season due to a shoulder injury.

Cleveland Indians
On November 18, 2016, Cooney was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Indians. The Indians released Cooney on April 2, 2017. Cooney signed a minor league deal with the Indians on April 6, 2017. He pitched only four games in 2017, with the AZL Indians where he posted a 6.00 ERA, due to injury. He elected free agency following the season on November 6.

title: Alsike Church

text:
Alsike Church () is a Lutheran church at Alsike in Uppsala County, Sweden. It lies in Knivsta Municipality, a suburb to Stockholm. The church is associated with the Archdiocese of Uppsala of the Church of Sweden.

History and architecture

Alsike Church stands by a formerly important sea-route linking Uppsala, Sigtuna and Stockholm, in an area characterised by its old cultural landscape. Although the oldest parts of the presently visible church date from the 13th century, it was probably pre-dated by an earlier wooden church. The church is constructed largely in brick, a material not usually used in medieval churches in Uppland (fieldstone was often the material of choice). The use of brick may be explained by the vicinity to the more costly churches in Sigtuna or Sko Abbey near Skokloster Castle (Skoklosters slott). The main part of the church was probably built circa 1250-1350. The tower and the church porch date from the 15th century, and during the same century the church was also equipped with mural-decorated vaults; due to later damage these have been rebuilt and only fragments of the murals still remain.

The church was rebuilt during the mid-19th century. Two transepts were added, and the exterior whitewashed. Inside the church was equipped with a new pulpit and new pews. In 1910-11, the church was redecorated internally with paintings in Art Nouveau style by architect Sigurd Curman (1879-1966). During repairs in 1947 a runestone was discovered in the church; it is displayed at the church entrance.

The church is characterised by a mix of medieval and neoclassical styles as a result of the reconstruction during the 19th century. Among the furnishings, a Venetian crucifix from  1600 and a figure of Christ from the 15th century are noteworthy.

Campaigns and battles

In December 1669, Colbert - who assumed command of naval (la marine) services after having nominated in November Louis de Bourbon, the legitimate heir of Louis XIV, aged only ten years, to the Admiralty of France - enacted an ordinance which created two regiments destined for naval service on the vessels and in the colonies. The regiments were designated « Royal-La Marine » and « Amiral  ».

The regiment Royal-La Marine was attached to the Flotte du Ponant.

The Royal Navy () in need of quality marine offices, nominated the possibility of having naval officers of the two regiment as marine officers. In the same spirit on December 26, 1669, was constituted, a « Garde de Monsieur l'Amiral » ( Guard of Monsieur Admiral ), even referred as « Garde de Monsieur le comte de Vermandois » ( Guard of Monsieur the Count of Vermandois ), which was created to become a crucible of marine officers.

With Louvois intervention, a new regulation of July 1670 passed the nomination of the officers of these two regiments - attached to the navy since creation - to the authority of the ministère de la Guerre, while also amending the possibility to pass naval officers to form the officers marine corps. Such a new regulation was the first passage of the "bigor" of the navy () to the French Army.

The only service at sea of these two regiments was brief. In August 1670, they embarked on the fleet of Duquesne on their way to the Canary Islands and Green Cape, and were back in Brest on March 11, 1671.

On August 13, 1704, while through the decisive Battle of Blenheim (), during the War of the Spanish Succession (), Le Royal-La Marine was part of the reserve army of maréchal Marsin, foreseen to support the Franco-Bavarian, placed under the command of Camille d'Hostun, duc de Tallard and Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria.

In 1720-1721, the regiment garrisoned at Souppes sur Loing (Seine et Marne) and participated to the construction of the canal du Loing.

On June 27, 1743, the regiment participated to the Battle of Dettingen (). The following year, the regiment participated to the Siege of Menin, the Siege of Ypres (1744) () then Furnes, prior to joining the army of maréchal de Saxe at Courtrai.

From 1779 to 1782, the régiment Royal-La Marine participated to operations in Antilles

The 1st battalion of the 60th Line Infantry Regiment conducted the campaign of 1794 at the armée de l'Ouest (); the 2e, embarked at La Rochelle in 1792 for Saint-Domingue, where garrison would be held until 1794.

Personalities having served in the Régiment Royal–La Marine
Joseph Claude Vincent de Kermoysan, Breton knight, was Captain of the Regiment between 1740 and 1750.
In 1780, Amateur-Jérôme Le Bras des Forges de Boishardy (), son of a musketeer, entered the Regiment, where he stayed twelve years.
In the same year, Jean Baptiste Bernadotte (), future Marshal of France and then King of Sweden and Norway, began his military career by entering the regiment as a soldier at the age of 17. In 1789, he became sergeant.

Mauricio Andrés Cuero Castillo (born 28 January 1993) is a Colombian footballer who plays as a winger for Argentinian club Independiente.

Club career
Born in Tumaco, Cuero was a La Equidad youth graduate. He made his first team – and Categoría Primera A – debut on 23 October 2011, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win against Independiente Medellín.

On 29 January 2014 Cuero moved abroad, after agreeing to a three-year contract with Romanian Liga I side FC Vaslui. He made his debut in the category on 23 February, again from the bench in a 0–0 draw at CFR Cluj.

After being rarely used, Cuero was loaned to Club Olimpo on 16 July 2014. He scored his first professional goal on 8 November, scoring his team's second in a 2–1 home win against Quilmes AC.

On 8 January 2015 Cuero moved to Club Atlético Banfield on loan, still owned by La Equidad. He scored seven goals for the side in 29 appearances, as his side finished eighth.

On 10 November 2015, Levante UD reached an agreement with La Equidad for the transfer of Cuero, who is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Valencian side. On 21 July 2016, after suffering relegation, he signed for Santos Laguna.

On 5 June 2017, Club Santos Laguna's president, Alejandro Irarragorri, announced that they had loaned Cuero to Xolos de Tijuana.

title: Holden Day Wilson

text:
Holden Day Wilson LLP was a law firm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. When it closed in 1996, it was the largest law firm failure in Canadian history.

History
The firm was founded in the early 20th century as Day, Wilson, led by founding partner Jimmy Day's expertise in the incorporation of mining companies. In 1990, the firm merged with the prominent firm of Holden, Murdoch and renamed itself Holden Day Wilson.

In 1993, one of its partners, Garry Hoy, died after throwing himself against a glass window of its downtown Toronto-Dominion Centre office, in a playful attempt to demonstrate the strength of the window. The window frame gave way and Hoy fell to his death from the 24th floor. The shock of losing one of its most successful lawyers was a contributing factor in the firm's decline and fall, and the firm lost nearly 30 lawyers in the following three years.

In 1996, the firm closed permanently. Until the closing of Goodman and Carr in 2007, it was the largest law firm failure in Canadian history.

title: APR-1400

text:
The APR-1400 (for Advanced Power Reactor 1400 MW electricity) is an advanced pressurized water nuclear reactor designed by the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). Originally known as the Korean Next Generation Reactor (KNGR), this Generation III reactor was developed from the earlier OPR-1000 design and also incorporates features from the US Combustion Engineering (C-E) System 80+ design. Currently in South Korea there are 3 units in operation (Shin Kori unit 3 and 4, Shin Hanul unit 1), and 3 units in construction (Shin Hanul unit 2, Shin Kori unit 5 and 6). Three units are completed and in commercial operation in the United Arab Emirates at Barakah, with one more under construction at the same plant.

History

APR-1400 design began in 1992 and was awarded certification by the Korean Institute of Nuclear Safety in May 2002. The design certification application was submitted to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in December 2014 and in March 2015, it was accepted for technical review to determine if the reactor design meets basic US safety requirements.

In October 2017, European Utility Requirements (EUR) organization approved changes to the APR-1400 design for emergency cooling, allowing the design to be built in countries outside Europe to EUR certification.

As of September 2018, the NRC issued its final safety evaluation report and standard design approval finding the design technically acceptable and valid for 15 years. In April 2019 the NRC approved a rule to certify the APR-1400 standard design.
In September 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave the APR-1400 Standard Design Approval, and in September 2019 it received a design certificate valid for 15 years.

In 2022, Westinghouse Electric Company, which had acquired Combustion Engineering in 2000, filed a lawsuit in a U.S. federal court against KHNP and Kepco alleging that the APR-1400 was copied the System 80 reactor. This had the indirect effect that the U.S. government rejected a request for necessary APR-1400 permission to export to a third country while the case is resolved.

Locations

South Korea
The first commercial APR-1400 reactors at Shin Kori were approved in September 2007, with construction starting in October 2008 (Unit 3) and August 2009 (Unit 4). Shin Kori-3 was initially scheduled to commence operation by the end of 2013, but the schedules for both Units 3 & 4 were delayed by approximately one year to replace safety-related control cabling, which had failed some tests. Construction of two more APR-1400 units at Shin Kori, Korea (Units 5 and 6) had been expected to begin in 2014, but as of December 2016 plans had not been finalised.

Construction of two new APR-1400s, Shin Hanul Units 1 & 2, began in May 2012 (Unit 1) and June 2013 (Unit 2), with Unit 1 expected to be completed in April 2017. Two more APR-1400s at Shin Hanul were approved in 2014, with construction to start in 2017.

After the election of President Moon Jae-in in May 2017, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) suspended design work on Shin Hanul-3 and -4, and construction work was suspended on Shin Kori-5 and -6 in July 2017 for a three-month period while a government-appointed committee met to discuss the country's future nuclear power policy. President Moon had signed an agreement in March 2017 calling for the phase-out of nuclear energy while campaigning for president. In October 2017, the committee recommended proceeding with the construction of Shin Kori-5 and -6. President Moon announced he supported the committee's decision, but added that no new construction would be allowed, throwing doubt on the fate of Shin Hanul-3 and -4.

As of April 2020, Shin-Kori 1 and 2  and Shin-Hanul 1 are operational while Shin-Hanul 2 being loaded with fuel.

United Arab Emirates
In December 2009, a KEPCO-led consortium was awarded the contract to build four APR-1400 reactors at Barakah, United Arab Emirates. Construction of Barakah Unit 1 started in July 2012, Unit 2 started construction in May 2013, Unit 3 started construction in September 2014 and Unit 4 started construction in September 2015. Block 1 started to produce energy on 1 August 2020 and went into commercial operation on 6 April 2021. several research projects were performed at Khalifa University to ensure the safe operation for the APR1400 nuclear power plant

United Kingdom
NuGeneration (NuGen) was formed as the joint venture between Engie, Iberdrola, and Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) to develop the Moorside Nuclear Power Station in Cumbria; the initial plans called for three Westinghouse AP1000 units. SSE was bought out by Engie and Iberdrola in 2011, and Iberdrola's share, in turn, was purchased by Toshiba in 2013. Following the bankruptcy of Toshiba's subsidiary Westinghouse Electric Corporation in March 2017, Engie pulled out of NuGen in July, leaving Toshiba as the sole owner of NuGen. In December 2017, NuGen announced that KEPCO was named the preferred bidder to acquire NuGen from Toshiba. In July 2018 Kepco’s preferred bidder status was terminated, in response to difficulties financing the development.

Poland
In October 2022, Polish utilities PGE and ZE PAK announced an agreement with KHNP to build a number of APR-1400 reactors near ZE PAK's coal-fired plant at Pątnów.

Summary

Notes

Design
The APR-1400 is an evolutionary Advanced Light Water Reactor which is based on the previous OPR-1000 design. Under Korean conditions, the reactor produced 1455 MW gross electrical power with a thermal power capacity of 3983 MW (4000 MW nominal).

The design was developed to meet 43 design requirements, with the main developments being evolution in capacity, increased lifetime and enhanced safety. The design improvements also focus on meeting economic objectives and licensing requirements. Compared to the OPR-1000, the key features are:

 Net Electric power: 1400 MW (40% increase)
 Design Life: 60 years (50% increase)
 Seismic Design Basis: 0.3g (50% increase)
 Core Damage Frequency: less than 10−5/yr (10x decrease)
 Core fuel assemblies: 241 (36% increase)

Several other changes were incorporated such as moving to complete digital I/C and implementation of new systems in the Safety Injection System (SIT).

Core
The reactor core of the APR-1400 consists of 241 fuel assemblies, 93 control element assemblies, and 61 in-core instrumentation assemblies. Each fuel assembly has 236 fuel rods in a 16 x 16 array (some space is taken up by guide tubes for control elements) containing Uranium dioxide (average enrichment of 2.6 w/o), which is capable of producing an average volumetric power density of 100.9 W/cm^3. Up to 30% of the core can also be loaded with Mixed Oxide fuel with minor modifications. The core is designed for an 18-month operating cycle with a discharge burnup up to 60,000 MWD/MTU, with a thermal margin of 10%. For the control element assemblies, 76 Boron carbide pellets rods are used in the full strength control rods, while 17 Inconel-625 is used in the part strength control rods.

Primary
Like the OPR-1000 and preceding C-E designs, the APR-1400 has two reactor coolant loops. In each loop, heated primary coolant leaves the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) through one hot leg, passing through one steam generator (SG), returning to the reactor vessel through two cold legs, each equipped with a reactor coolant pump (RCP). In loop 2, there is one pressurizer (PZR) on the hot leg, where a steam bubble is maintained during operation. The loops are arranged symmetrically, so the hot legs are diametrically opposed on the RPV's circumference. Because the steam generators are elevated relative to the RPV, natural convection will circulate reactor coolant in the event of RCP malfunction. The pressurizer is equipped with a pilot-operated relief valve which not only protects against Reactor Coolant System over-pressure, it also allows manual depressurization in the case of a total loss of feedwater.

Secondary
Each steam generator has 13,102 Inconel 690 tubes; this material improves resistance to stress corrosion cracking compared to the Inconel 600 used in prior designs. Like the late-evolution System 80+ design, the steam generator design incorporates an integral feedwater economizer, which pre-heats feedwater before it is introduced into the SG. Compared with the OPR-1000 design, the steam generator features a larger secondary feedwater inventory, extending the dry-out time and affording more time for manual operator intervention, should it be needed. The design tube plugging margin is 10%, meaning the unit can operate at full power with up to 10% of the SG tubes plugged. Each of the two main steam lines from the steam generator contain five safety valves, a main steam relief valve and one isolation valve.

APR+
The APR-1400 has been further developed into the APR+ design, which received its official type certification on 14 August 2014 after seven years in development. The reactor design features improved safety and among others "a core damage frequency an entire order of magnitude lower than that calculated for the APR1400 design that it supplants". The APR+ core uses 257 fuel assemblies (16 more than APR-1400) to increase output to 1550 MW gross electricity. Certain safety features, such as backup generators, have been increased from two to four independent, redundant systems.

title: Thomas Dillon (judge)

text:
Thomas Dillon (c. 1535 – 1606) was an Irish judge and landowner: his descendants held the title Baron Clonbrock.

He was born at Proudstown, near Navan, County Meath. He was a grandson of Gerald Dillon, whose elder brother Sir Robert Dillon founded the senior branch of the family which held the title Earl of Roscommon. Thomas's father, Richard Dillon (died 1565), son of Gerald  and his wife Ellen Macrery, was a judge of the Court of Queen's Bench (Ireland).

He entered the Inner Temple in 1559. He was called to the Bar; he was a member of the King's Inns and had a chamber there. He briefly held office as justice of Wexford, then practised on the Connacht circuit. He became Chief Justice of Connacht in 1577, in which office he gained a reputation for integrity, and was suggested as a possible Lord Chief Justice of Ireland in 1582.

In 1593, despite the general rule that a provincial Chief Justiceship should not be combined with a seat on the High Court Bench, he became a justice of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland). He continued to spend most of his time in Connacht, but in 1596 he clashed with his formidable superior, Sir Richard Bingham, the Lord President of Connaught, and was committed to Dublin Castle as a result. He was restored to favour the following year, after Bingham himself suffered temporary disgrace and fled to England. Thomas lived mainly at Curraghboy, County Roscommon; his property was ravaged during the Nine Years War. He died in 1606 and was buried in Dublin.

He married Alice Shaen (or Farrell), daughter of Nicholas Shaen and Margaret Bathe (or Bath), and sister of Sir Francis Shaen or Shane, ancestor of the Shaen Baronets. Her stepfather Sir Thomas Lestrange (died 1590) was Bingham's Deputy as Lord President of Connaught. They had at least one son Robert (died 1628), and a daughter Jenet, who married Sir John Bathe of Drumcondra, Dublin, a leading spokesman for the Roman Catholic  community, by whom she had five children. Thomas's last direct male descendant was Robert Dillon, 5th Baron Clonbrock, who died in 1926.
