title: Ratko Butorović

text:
Ratko Butorović (17 July 1956 – 8 June 2013) also known as Bata Kan Kan was a controversial Montenegrin–Serbian businessman.

Born in Nikšić, Butorović found success in Novi Sad where he owned several hospitality venues and also had a stint owning the city's best-known football club FK Vojvodina. Known for his colourful clothing and eccentric ways, he also maintained alleged ties to various underworld figures in Serbia and Montenegro such as Đorđe Božović and Brano Mićunović.

Early life
Growing up in Nikšić, Buturović's extended family included his six-years-younger maternal cousin Milo Đukanović (son of Buturović's maternal uncle Radovan) who would later go on to become the longtime leader of Montenegro.

In the early-to-mid-1970s, after completing high school in his hometown, teenage Buturović moved northwards to SR Serbia: first to Belgrade before eventually settling in Novi Sad where he enrolled in the mechanical engineering program at the University of Novi Sad's Faculty of Technical Sciences. It was in Novi Sad where Buturović grew close to Brano Mićunović, a fellow Nikšić-born-and-bred Montenegrin who had, much like Buturović, arrived in Novi Sad in search of expanded opportunities and was already well on his way to becoming an influential organized crime figure. Young Buturović quickly developed a knack for business, often of the illegal or semi-legal variety, reportedly making his first money by selling clothing items stolen in Italy that had been smuggled into SFR Yugoslavia.

In his twenties, Butorović moved on to Vienna where, having had a strong physical build, he found employment as bouncer and bodyguard. It was reportedly during his time in Vienna that Buturović developed a close friendship with reputed mobster Đorđe "Giška" Božović. After Vienna, Buturović spent some time in Paris. By mid-1980s, he returned to SR Serbia within SFR Yugoslavia where he decided to modify his last name from Buturović to Butorović, reportedly in an effort of making himself harder to track down due to transgressions committed abroad.

Business career
Butorović's first foray into entrepreneurship took place in 1987 via opening a consumer goods retail store in Novi Sad. Named 'Kan Kan', the store further cemented his by now well-known nickname around town and soon expanded into a chain of shops throughout the city. Butorović soon diversified his business activities by establishing a rent-a-car company as well as an airport taxi service shuttling passengers between Novi Sad and Belgrade Airport.

By the early 1990s, Butorović was based out of a small office located in the state-owned Hotel Park in Novi Sad and involved in various business and community activities, including running a pawnbroker's shop and donating a medical vehicle to the Serbian forces fighting in the Battle of Vukovar.

In September 1995, nineteen-year-old beauty queen Jelena Molnar was found dead in a Hotel Park room, leased out to Butorović's company, where she had been staying with her twenty-three-year-old Cetinje-born boyfriend Predrag Maričić, one of Butorović's bodyguards. As a result, Butorović left Serbia and FR Yugoslavia, settling in Greece. Maričić was charged with murder, but eventually got acquitted following a Novi Sad District Court trial that saw Butorović provide testimony. The lower court verdict got appealed by the public prosecutor and the case went before the Serbian Supreme Court where Maričić got acquitted again.

While in Greece, Butorović resided in Thessaloniki, running a department store in the city in addition to several small hotels in Chalkidiki. For two years he reportedly held majority stake in the ownership of P.A.O.K. basketball club. The source of Butorović's wealth was often questioned with many speculating about his investments being a front for Đukanović's and Mićunović's ill-gotten funds. In several 1990s and early 2000s Serbian Interior Ministry (MUP) internal notes that have subsequently become public through freedom of information requests, Butorović is explicitly mentioned as "having direct ties and maintaining constant contact with Montenegrin organized crime groups".

Hospitality, construction, and property management
In 1998, following a controversial decision by the Budva municipality president to privatize the historic Hotel Jadranska Straža seaside property via circumventing the usual procedure of putting it to a vote before the municipal parliament, Butorović bought the small hotel for reportedly DM480,000. With a history dating back to the 9th century, the property — that had at one point been a Benedictine monastery — is designated as a structure of special importance. After having his expansion projects of building a marina and other luxury amenities rejected by the authorities, Butorović decided to sell Hotel Jadranska Straža to reputed Montenegrin mobster Blagota "Baja" Sekulić.

In 2000, Butorović began making larger investments in the hospitality industry. His first property of note was Xanadu, a 5-star boutique hotel in Kumbor near Herceg Novi in Montenegro, FR Yugoslavia, whose construction he financed before selling it several years later to a Russian investor.

He then financed the construction of a 6,500 m2 shopping center on Kralja Aleksandra Street in Novi Sad. Named Pariski Magazin, the property opened in 2003, housing a series of cafes, spas, beauty parlours, and retail shops.

Hotel Park
In 2004, Butorović made his biggest investment, buying Novi Sad's state-owned Hotel Park for RSD100 million (~€1.25 million) at a privatization tender auction. Refurbishing and upgrading the 22,000 m2 property that had already been the seat of his business activities for more than a decade, Butorović turned it into Novi Sad's premier hospitality venue.

Hotel Leopold I
In August 2006, at an international tender auction, Butorović's company HTUP Park won 30-year lease rights to Hotel Varadin on the Petrovaradin Fortress. Under the terms of the concession agreement signed by the Novi Sad mayor Maja Gojković and HTUP Park representative Kosta Kliska, Butorović's company took on the obligation of investing at least €6 million into the 5,405 m2 property while being allowed to forgo the payment of a lease fee to the city during the initial five years of the agreement. Furthermore, it committed to commence payment of the lease fee of €3.8 / m2 per month (€21,000 per month) to the city of Novi Sad once five years of the agreement have expired in September 2011. Many found the agreed lease amount to be ridiculous considering the average lease fee in Novi Sad at the time had been at least twice that and that the venue in question is a premier property — centrally-located baroque hotel. Butorović reportedly invested €6.5 million in the hotel renovation, re-opening it in June 2007 under the new name Hotel Leopold I after the 17th century Holy Roman Emperor. The amount of the investment Butorović made in the hotel has been disputed, however, due to lack of oversight. That is how it was possible that Butorović never paid a single euro for the use of this historic monument.

On 15 November 2007, the 200-meter long protective rampart, located at the Gornja tvrđava section of the Fortress in the hotel's near vicinity, got demolished. It was unclear who ordered the demolition with fingers being pointed back and forth between Butorović and several local publicly owned companies with jurisdiction over the Fortress. Eventually, the excavator operator Stjepan R. who carried out the demolition got arrested, but the responsibility for who ordered the action never got established. The rampart was subsequently re-built.

In January 2014, some six months following Butorović's death, his older son Balša confirmed that the family is no longer involved in running the hotel on a day-to-day basis, having decided to sublease it to a foreign entity.

FK Vojvodina
In 2006 Butorović became the owner of the struggling FK Vojvodina football club in Serbia. His investment triggered a revival in the club's fortunes, immediately breaking into the top three in the Serbian SuperLiga. Led by incoming head coach Milovan Rajevac and benefiting from the 17 league goals by twenty-three-year-old striker Ranko Despotović as well as midfield enterprise of newly acquired twenty-seven-year-old Milan Davidov and returning thirty-three-year-old veteran Miodrag Pantelić, Vojvodina finished third in the league (club's best league finish in a decade) and made the Serbian Cup final where they lost to Red Star Belgrade. Furthermore, the season saw regular playing time and continued development opportunities for their up-and-coming squad assets: eighteen-year-old attacking midfielder Dušan Tadić, nineteen-year-old midfielder Gojko Kačar, and twenty-two-year-old goalkeeper Damir Kahriman.

2008 arrest on match-fixing suspicion
On Tuesday, 29 January 2008, Butorović got arrested on suspicion of match fixing. His apprehension came as part of a sweeping action by Serbian police aimed at dealing with widespread football corruption in the country. Police suspected that Butorović, along with FK Vojvodina managing board president Milan Čabrić, fixed football matches by bribing football referees Mihajlo Jeknić and Borislav Kašanski whom he established contact with through former referee Goran Kovačić. Čabrić, Jeknić, Kašanski, and Kovačić were all also arrested on the same day. Butorović got taken in spectacular fashion as police stormed his villa in Stanoja Glavaša Street in the Telep neighbourhood around 4pm while some twenty investigators and plain-clothed policemen reportedly searched his house for relevant evidence before taking him to a police station around 7pm. A small number of FK Vojvodina fans gathered in front of his house while police searched it, offering support by chanting "Don't give up, Bata".

Butorović was later released with no charges pressed against him due to lack of evidence. Although Butorović was well known as the high-ranking member of the Montenegrin mafia in Novi Sad, this was the only time he was even investigated for any of his crimes. Reputedly he was protected by the Montenegrin president Milo Đukanović.

SD Vojvodina
In December 2011, Butorović was among the group of businessmen and former athletes that revived the dissolved Vojvodina sports society, an umbrella entity presiding over 22 men's and women's clubs carrying the "Vojvodina" name in various sports. The organization had existed for more than 90 years throughout the 20th century before falling on hard times financially and dissolving through bankruptcy during the late 2000s. Butorović was appointed president of the revived entity, a position he performed in parallel to his duties at FK Vojvodina.

Personal
In the late 1980s, Butorović married his wife Smiljka. They have two sons, Balša and Bodin. Butorović was known for his colourful lifestyle and flamboyance, adopting an extravagant style of dress and reportedly being friends with rapper 50 Cent.

Death
Butorović died of natural causes in 2013. His body was discovered in the morning hours of 8 June 2013 in a suite within his Hotel Park in Novi Sad; he was last seen alive the night before around 8:00 pm at the same hotel during a meeting with FK Vojvodina's managing board members and newly named head coach Marko Nikolić after which Butorović retired to the hotel suite he had reportedly often been using as a second home. Following an autopsy, it was concluded that he died in his sleep as a result of suffering a heart attack. Butorović had a history of coronary issues, even undergoing surgery in 2006 at the Sremska Kamenica Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases during which he had several stents inserted.

Two days after his death, a commemorative gathering in memory of Butorović was held at Hotel Park's Crystal Hall; it was attended by his family as well as friends and colleagues, including FK Vojvodina vice-president Dušan Vlaović, Srbijagas CEO Dušan Bajatović, businessman Miodrag Kostić, Serbian Football Association (FSS) president Tomislav Karadžić and secretary-general Zoran Laković, entire FK Vojvodina player squad, and various individuals from the world of football such as controversial administrator Zvezdan Terzić, coaches Milovan Rajevac, Dragoljub Bekvalac, etc.

Funeral
On 12 June 2013, before being transported to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport and flown to Montenegro for burial, the coffin with Butorović's body was displayed at Novi Sad's city cemetery — where, among others, pop-folk star Nataša Bekvalac came to pay her respects.

Upon landing in Montenegro in the early afternoon, Butorović's body was transported to his birthplace Nikšić to be displayed in the city chapel where the family received condolences alongside FK Vojvodina squad players, head coach Marko Nikolić, and sporting director Miodrag Pantelić before the funeral procession headed to the Kočani cemetery on the town's outskirts for burial. Among those present at the funeral were Butorović's first cousin, Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Đukanović alongside his family—wife Lidija Kuč, son Blažo, influential businessman brother Aco Đukanović, and court judge sister Ana Kolarević—in addition to high-ranking members of his DPS party (the ruling party in Montenegro): Svetozar Marović, Milan Roćen, Branimir Gvozdenović, Tarzan Milošević, Suad Numanović, Mevludin Nuhodžić, Milutin Simović, etc. Also present were Butorović's close friend, organized crime figure Brano Mićunović, Montenegrin FA (FSCG) president and former football great Dejan Savićević alongside his deputy Momir Đurđevac, Montenegrin Basketball Federation (KSCG) officials and businessmen Vesko Barović and Danilo Mitrović, businessman Duško Knežević, retired footballer Mateja Kežman, coaches Dejan Vukićević and Nebojša Vignjević, etc.

In July 2019, six years after his death, Butorović's widow put their 708 m2 Novi Sad villa up for sale, listed at €1.34 million.

title: Gear bearing

text:
A gear bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing similar to an epicyclic gear. Gear bearings consist of a number of smaller  'satellite' gears which revolve around the center of the bearing along a track on the outsides of the internal and satellite gears, and on the inside of the external gear.  Each gear is in between two concentric rings. Therefore, the widths of the satellite gears must all be the same.

Engagement

In order for the surfaces to provide efficient axial meshing, the teeth must either be beveled or made with engagement. This avoids misalignment, sticking, and reduces sliding friction in the bearing. For instance, the illustrations present implementations of bearing gears with beveled teeth and rollers on their adjacent end faces as well as a herringbone engagement to provide minimal axial shift due to opposite sloping teeth.

Work
Neglecting clearance and assuming perfect accuracy, the engagement of bearing gears is aimed at maximum rolling with minimum sliding friction of conjugated profiles in movement. End rollers limit the gears radial shift at their contact points so that when the gears are engaged, slip-free rolling motion of their conjugated pairs is achieved. Adjacent end faces of teeth and rollers limit the axial shift of conjugated bearing gears in plane-parallel motion. In such a way, using bearing gears as sun, ring and more than two satellites uniformly distributed among them the entire gear bearing is arranged, and carrier may be used instead of ring or sun gearwheels, or it may act as a frame unit and transfer rotation from the satellites, whereas limitation of carrier degrees of freedom would form redundant constraints or serve as an additional basis for force distribution in the mechanism. In case less than three bearing satellite gearwheels are involved, at least axles of movable sun and/or of ring bearing gearwheels should be fixed relative to housing parts.

Usage
Gear bearings could be used as a more efficient bearing when used as a planetary gear arrangement with simplified kinematic relations and/or suspension. It also possible to use double row planetary gear combinations. In particular, systems of direct analog indications such as measuring instruments and planetary watches.

Linear gear bearings can easily be made with straight tracks. One, cast in bronze, is used as the expansion joint in the centre of Kingsgate Bridge.

Implementations
The implementation of gear bearings  may be one-piece manufacturing or a fixed joint assembly using: screws, bracers, threaded connections, pressure coupling, soldering, welding, gluing, or friction coupling in the form of sliding safety clutch or friction connection. The gear bearing may also be assembled from separate sectional parts or by joining with optional elastic and/or thermal deformation in the manufacturing sequence.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages
 Simplicity of implementation (as bearing cages, carriers, simplified suspension, and mounting systems are not necessary)
 Increased efficiency due to decreased sliding friction losses
 May require fewer satellite gears, as their orbital motion is prescribed by gear engagement
 Possibility of use for direct visualization in measuring instruments

Disadvantages
 Anti-friction materials or coatings may be necessary because lubricants may be difficult to apply, especially in measuring instruments
 High standards of quality for manufacturing and assembling

title: Vijayakumar filmography

text:
Vijayakumar is an Indian actor and politician. Along with predominant work in Tamil cinema since 1973, he has acted in a few Malayalam and Telugu movies as well as one Kannada. He also works in television serials.

He began as a child actor in the film Sri Valli in 1961. Vijaykumar was the little Lord Murugan in Sri Valli, starring Sivaji Ganesan and Padmini. Though not many offers were forthcoming for the little actor, he was supposed to play Lord Murugan in Kandhan Karunai, but instead Sivakumar played that role. Vijayakumar acted in a small role as one of the Lords that was arrested by Surapadman. In 1973, Vijayakumar got his first break in Ponnukku Thanga Manasu, directed by Devaraj-Mohan. The other hero in the film was Sivakumar. The success of Ponnuku Thanga Manasu got him a permanent place in Tamil cinema. Vijayakumar was a popular actor the seventies, who acted alongside leading actors such as M. G. Ramachandran, in Indru Pol Endrum Vaazhga, with Sivaji Ganesan in Dheepam and Kamal Haasan in Neeya. While Vijayakumar was a popular supporting actor, he did play the lead role during the 1970s, in films such as Aval Oru Thodarkathai, Mathura Geetham and Azhage Unnai Arathikkiren.

Vijayakumar continued to act in supporting roles in the early 1980s. After a brief slump, Vijayakumar's second innings came in 1988 with Mani Ratnam's Agni Natchathiram, where he played the role of Prabhu Ganesan and Karthik Muthuraman's father. The movie told the story of two half brothers who fight for their father's love and property. During the 1990s, Vijayakumar was frequently seen in father roles such as Nattamai and Baasha. During the same time, Vijayakumar also played lead roles in award-winning films such as Kizhakku Cheemayile and Anthimanthaarai, with Bharathiraaja. The latter took him close to winning the National Film Award for Best Actor, eventually missing it by one vote. Vijayakumar continued to play senior roles during the 2000s; eventually the actor was seen in more grandfather roles. In the last few years, the actor has reduced his film commitments and focused on television serials. Vijayakumar has acted in over 400 films, primarily in Tamil, but also had brief stints in Telugu cinema.

Following is the list of films acted by Vijayakumar. Besides Tamil, he has also acted in a few Telugu and Malayalam films.

title: Kamil Ibragimov

text:
Kamil Anvarovich Ibragimov (; born 13 August 1993) is a Russian right-handed sabre fencer, two-time team European champion, and two-time team world champion.

Personal life
Ibragimov is the son of foil fencers Anvar Ibragimov and Olga Velichko and is of Tatar and Russian origin. He began fencing at the age of seven under the guidance of 1992 Olympic champion Aleksandr Shirshov, who remains his personal coach.

Career

Ibragimov is a Russian Armed Forces athlete, and his clubs are the Russian Central Sports Army Club and MGFSO.

Amongst seniors, he made his breakthrough during the 2012–13 season, when he climbed his first World Cup podium with a gold medal in the Glaive d'Asparoukh after defeating Romania's Tiberiu Dolniceanu in the final. That same year, he won the Junior World Championship in Poreč and the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan. At the World Championships in Budapest, he was eliminated in the second round by Max Hartung of Germany. In the team event, where Ibragimov stood as reserve, Russia won the gold medal after prevailing over Romania in the final.

In the 2014 European Championships at Strasbourg, Ibragimov made his way to the semi-finals where he was stopped by team-mate Aleksey Yakimenko and came away with the bronze medal. In the team event, Russia met Italy in the final. The Italians gained a 5-hit lead after the 7th relay. Despite individual victories in the two last legs, Russia could not bridge the gap and were defeated 44–45. A month after, in the World Championships at Kazan, Ibragimov was defeated in the second round by Nicolas Limbach of Germany. The team event was Ibragimov's first time as a full member of the side. Russia met Germany in the semi-finals. Selected to close the match instead of captain Nikolay Kovalev, Ibragimov could not prevent Germany from winning 45–40. They met Hungary in the small final, but were defeated once again and came away with no medal.

In the 2014–15 season Ibragimov won the Trofeo Luxardo in Padova after seeing off Ukraine's Andriy Yagodka in the final.

title: 2014 Super Rugby final

text:
The 2014 Super Rugby Final, was played between the New South Wales Waratahs from Australia and the Crusaders from New Zealand on 2 August 2014. It was the 19th final in the Super Rugby competition's history and the fourth under the expanded 15-team format. The Waratahs had qualified in first place during the regular season, while the Crusaders had qualified in second place. Both teams hosted semi-final matches, with the Waratahs defeating fellow Australian team the Brumbies in Sydney and the Crusaders defeating South African team the Sharks in Christchurch. As the Waratahs had qualified higher, the final was held in Sydney.

The final attracted the Super Rugby record attendance of 61,823 to the ANZ Stadium.

Road to the final

The 2014 Super Rugby competition involved fifteen teams, five each from South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The 2014 season was the 19th year of the competition, and the fourth in the expanded 15 team format (12 teams competed between 1996 and 2005, before increasing to 14 between 2006 and 2010). The 2014 competition began on 15 February with the regular season consisting of 120 matches over twenty-two weeks. Each team played the others from their own conference (both home and away), plus four out of five teams from the other two countries (two at home and two away in each case). The top six teams after the regular season advanced to the finals.

The Waratahs finished top of the Australian conference and topped the overall standings, with twelve wins and just four losses during the season (to the Brumbies, Western Force, Blues, and Sharks). The Crusaders finished top of the New Zealand conference with eleven wins and five losses—to the Hurricanes (twice), Chiefs, Blues, and Sharks. The Sharks won the South African conference, and the Brumbies, Chiefs and Highlanders filled the remaining three places as the next top finishers during the regular season.

The Brumbies hosted the Chiefs in Canberra in the first qualifying final, while the Highlanders traveled to Durban to play the Sharks. The Brumbies and Chiefs scored four tries apiece in the first qualifier, but the Brumbies prevailed with Christian Lealiifano successful with five kicks from eight off the tee in their 32–30 victory. The second qualifier was also a close match with the Sharks and Highlanders scoring three tries each, but the Sharks came from behind with two penalty kicks by François Steyn in the final 6 minutes to win by 31–27.

For the semi-finals, the Sharks flew to Christchurch to play the Crusaders and the Brumbies travelled to Sydney to play the Waratahs. Both games were won by a clear margin in the end but the run of play in each match was substantially different. The Crusaders scored five tries to nil to defeat the Sharks by 38–6. The Brumbies, by contrast, were not shut out of the game until Waratahs' fly-half Bernard Foley scored ten points in last seven minutes to secure victory for his side by 26–8.

The Fox From Up Above and the Fox From Down Below () is the sixth and final novel by Peruvian writer José María Arguedas published posthumously in 1971. It is an unfinished novel, interspersed with some personal and intimate diaries where the author relates the torments overwhelming him while writing the novel, finally announcing his impending suicide. Complementing the work are two letters and an epilogue. The novel depicts the consequences of accelerated modernization of the port of Chimbote, motivated by the fishing boom; thousands of Andean immigrants arrive, attracted by the opportunity to earn a living in a thriving industrial city, while at the same time they assimilate themselves under the guise of 'modernity', all of which, from the point of the writer, brings dire consequences: loss of Andean cultural identity and its moral degeneracy, succumbing to the vices of the city in bars and brothels.

Context

According to the author's correspondence, the draft of the novel was first conceived in the early months of 1966. In letters to the Spanish editor Carlos Barral dated from that year, Arguedas tells him about a draft novel that would concern anchovy fishermen and the revolution produced by the fishmeal industry on the Peruvian coast. From other sources we know that the novelistic project was originally set in Puerto Supe, which also experienced the fishing boom, but was later displaced by Chimbote, where Arguedas traveled to several times to document and interview fishermen and port workers. It was mid-1968 when it occurred to him to sandwich between the fictional chapters of his novel some personal diaries, the first of which drew on the 10th, 11th, 13th, 15th and 16 May. This "first diary" appeared in the journal Amaru and sparked controversy with the Argentine writer Julio Cortázar, following intemperate criticism that he made regionalist or 'telluric' literature. It was a difficult time for the writer as he encountered a strong depressive crisis, which had already lead him to a previous suicide attempt (in 1966); he lived in continual battle against insomnia and pains in the neck and back. Yet he endeavoured to carry out the project and wrote four chapters (which form the first part of the book), by his accounts on the second and third day sandwiched into the work. The second diary is dated in Museo de Sitio de Puruchuco in Lima, February 1969, and the third day in Chile, in May of that year. In Chile the author also developed the second part of the book, but later announced himself to be mentally unfit to continue. That's when he prepared his suicide and purchased a revolver. In what was labelled as his "Last Diary?" (whose revision is dated October of that year) he said his life would be ended by a bullet; a month later he carried out his threat (November 1969). This was finally inserted into the work, along with an epilogue: a letter the author sent to the editor Gonzalo Losada giving his final provisions on the publication of the work, despite it having been truncated. It has been said with certainty that the writer's death ends the novel.

title: Keith Hill (musical instrument maker)

text:
Keith Richard Hill (born 8 May 1948) is a prize winning American maker of musical instruments He has conducted research into the acoustical technology employed by musical instrument makers from 1550–1850, and used this knowledge to create hundreds of harpsichords, clavichords and other instruments.

Early life and education
Hill was born in China to missionary parents, and raised in the Philippines. He moved to the United States permanently in 1962. He attended music school at Michigan State University, studying piano and carillon with Wendell Westcott, organ with Corliss Arnold, and piano tuning and historical temperaments with Owen Jorgensen. He graduated with a Bachelor of Music in music history from Western Michigan University in 1971.

Hill became interested in making harpsichords while a student at Michigan State and built his first instrument there. He worked briefly making harpsichords for Rainer Schutze in Heidelberg, Germany and then for E.O. Witt in Three Rivers, Michigan before studying harpsichord performance with Anneke Uittenbosch at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He traveled around Europe making measurements of more than 150 antique harpsichords, fortepianos, clavichords, and virginals.

Career
In 1972 Hill opened a workshop in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Initially working alone, he made on average 12 double-manual harpsichords each year.  As interest in his instruments grew, Hill began to work with apprentices, some of whom later went on to become independent builders. These include Bruce Kennedy (began 1980), Philip Tyre (1982), David Jencks (1985), Dietrich Hein (1986), Dale Killewald (1987), Christoph Kern (1988), and Burkhard Zander (1989).  Hill and Tyre were business partners in the 1980s and some instruments bear the Hill and Tyre label.  During the early and mid-1980s Hill began extensive research into the acoustical technology of musical instrument makers from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods. Beginning in 1993, harpsichord production was moved to Manchester, Michigan.

In 1980 Hill designed and build a pedal harpsichord; the instrument was shown at the Boston Early Music Festival in the early 1980s.  In 2004 he performed an acoustical restoration of the 1658 Girolamo de Zentis harpsichord, originally part of the collection at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Hill wrote articles about instrument making for Continuo: The Magazine of Old Music,. including "The Anatomy of Authenticity" (1985) and  "How to Judge a Harpsichord" (1985).  In October 1987 Hill was Continuo's featured artist.  Another article was titled "Plastic versus Quill" (Continuo, 1993).

After researching tanning methods and techniques for the making of hammer leather suitable for use on fortepianos, Hill developed a custom hammer leather.

Hill began making violins and studying violin varnish in 1978.  After five years of experimentation, he developed a varnish made from wood ashes, water (to convert the ash to lye), linseed oil, and rosin. In 1994 he published his findings in an article in the Guild of American Luthiers Journal (#37) titled: "Ash Violin Varnish."  Further research in 2012-13 led Hill to refine the varnish formula currently in use.

Later Hill compiled his knowledge into thirteen acoustical principles, creating a lengthy document, Treatise on the True Art of Making Musical Instruments—a Practical Guide to the Forgotten Craft of Enhancing Sound. This work has been published.  It is used as the text for his Acoustical Technology Training program.

Hill has conducted his research in partnership with his wife, Marianne Ploger (Professor of Music Perception and Cognition at Vanderbilt University) and his brother, Robert Hill (Director of the Early Music Program at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg in Germany).  Hill and Ploger jointly re-wrote and revised an earlier article, "On Affect."  They have collaborated in presenting a series of workshops on the craft of musical communication at conservatories and schools of music in Europe and the United States.

In 2008 Hill established the Acoustical Technology Trainee program that is specific to the technical craft of enhancing sound, not instrument making, and has now taught keyboard instrument acoustics to a number of professional musicians and luthiers: Maxims Doronins, Artiom Sinelnikov, Ladislav Prokop, Devin Golka, Alexander Shchetnya, Alexander Shipanov, Romano Danesi, Fabio Rigali.

Hill maintains a violin making workshop in Nashville, Tennessee.  Keyboard instruments continue to be made in his Tennessee workshop.

Instruments built
Hill's instruments, which are known for their full tone, have been used in performances and recordings by keyboard artists such as Elizabeth Farr (Naxos), Robert Hill (Archive Prod. Hanssler Classics),  Mireille Lagace (ATMA, Calliope), Mitzi Meyerson (Dabringhaus & Grimm), Anthony Newman (Vox cum laude), Edward Parmentier (Wildboar), and Andreas Staier] (Archive Prod., Deutsche Harmonia Mundi) and many others.

Hill's production of musical instruments includes, as of 2014, 199 Double-manual Harpsichords (of which 6 are 16’ harpsichords), 143 Violins, 71 Single-manual Harpsichords, 9 Lautenwerks, 49 Clavichords, 39 Violas da Gamba, 22 Spinets, 19 Fortepianos, 11 Pedal Harpsichords, 8 Guitars, 10 Violas, 9 Cellos, and smaller numbers of various other heritage instruments.

title: Soviet submarine S-7

text:
S-7 was a Stalinets-class submarine of the Soviet Navy. Her keel was laid down by Krasnoye Sormovo in Gorkiy on 14 December 1936. She was launched on 5 April 1937 and commissioned on 30 June 1940 in the Baltic Fleet. During World War II, the submarine was under the command of Captain Sergei Prokofievich Lisin and took part in the Soviet submarine Baltic Sea campaign in 1942. S-7 scored victories, but was sunk in action.

Service history
The submarine made all her victories in summer 1942, having some success against the German-Swedish iron ore shipping lines (the main target of 1942 Soviet submarine campaign).

On 27 July 1942 S-7 also attacked the German merchant Ellen Larsen (1,938 GRT): the torpedoes missed and S-7 opened fire with her gun. As result the merchant was driven ashore.

Loss
While attempting a new campaign (after the successful summer one), S-7 was attacked, torpedoed and sunk by the .

Four crewmembers were saved and captured, including the commander Lisin. Commander Lisin was believed killed in action and was awarded post-mortem the distinction, Hero of the Soviet Union. Once Finland signed an armistice with the Allies in 1944, Lisin was freed and was sent by the Soviets to an NKVD special camp. However accusations against him were dropped (he kept the title of Hero) and became a military instructor at an officer school.

Discovery of wreck

In July 1998, the wreck of S-7 was found. The official data of war archives alleges that S-7 was torpedoed in Finnish waters, but the submarine was found in Swedish territorial waters – east of Söderarm in Stockholm's northern archipelago.

title: Jonathan Ndiku

text:
Jonathan Muia Ndiku (born 18 September 1991) is a Kenyan long-distance runner who specialises in the 3000 metres steeplechase. He has a personal best of 8:07.75 minutes. He was the gold medallist in the event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, where he broke the Commonwealth Games record.

As a youth Ndiku ran the fastest steeplechase time for an under-17 athlete. He went on to win back-to-back titles at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Athletics in 2008 and 2010 – the first ever to do so. He was also the African junior steeplechase champion in 2009. Based in Japan with the Hitachi Cable team, he has also represented Kenya at the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships.

Career

Youth and junior career
Born in Machakos, he began running seriously around 2004 in the hope he could make a living out of the sport. Ndiku made his international debut at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics, coming fourth in the 2000 metres steeplechase event. His technique was poor and his coach, Paul Mutwii, turned to Boniface Teren, the Kenyan national steeplechase coach, for help. Working with Teren, Ndiku's technique over the barriers greatly improved and one year later he won the gold medal at the 2008 World Junior Championships in Athletics, beating Uganda's Benjamin Kiplagat who had built up a sizeable lead in the early stages. Ndiku's winning time of 8:17.28 minutes was enough to rank the 16-year-old in the top 25 athletes in the world that year, as well as being the fastest ever recorded by a youth category athlete. His flat speed also improved, as he won the 1500 metres at the Commonwealth Youth Games that year. He also competed in Japan that year. After signing up with the Hitachi Cable corporate running team, he set track bests of 7:54.04 minutes for the 3000 metres, 13:21.17 minutes for the 5000 metres and 28:08.28 minutes for the 10,000 metres.

He won the steeplechase title at the 2009 African Junior Athletics Championships, despite having lost one of his running spikes in the first half of the race. Returning to Japanese track for Hitachi Cable, he won the 1500 m title at the All-Japan Corporate Track and Field Championships in a personal best of 3:41.83 minutes and was runner-up over 5000 m with another best time of 13:11.99 minutes. In addition, he set a 10,000 m best of 27:37.72 minutes in October – a time which ranked him in the top 25 that year.

He opened 2010 with a 1500 m win at the Hyogo Relays. He entered the steeplechase at the Kenyan Athletics Championships and was the national runner-up to Richard Mateelong. Still eighteen years old and in the junior category, he set about defending his title at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics. He was the clear winner with ten seconds over the runner-up, fellow Kenyan Albert Kiptoo Yator. This made Ndiku the first athlete to defend the title in the competition's history. Having extended his country's winning streak in the event since 1986, he remarked "This race is our culture. It's a Kenyan race." Success also came in flat races that year as he won both the 1500 m and 5000 m Japan Corporate Championship titles, including a personal best of 3:39.27 minutes.

Senior career
Ndiku began to establish himself as a steeplechaser in the senior ranks in 2011. He competed on the 2011 IAAF Diamond League circuit and set a personal best of 8:07.75 minutes for sixth place at the Herculis meeting – a time which ranked him the ninth fastest in the world that year. He also ranked third at the DN Galan and fifth at the Weltklasse Zürich. He was twice runner-up at the Japanese Corporate Championships. His 2012 season was more low-key and contained few races, with wins at the Hyogo Relays and the Japanese Corporate steeplechase being the highlights. Still, his time of 8:17.88 minutes at the Meeting Areva ranked him in the top 25 for the event. He gained his first senior selection for Kenya at the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, but failed to finish the race. He completed a Japanese Corporate double over the 5000 m and 3000 m steeplechase, but his season's best time of 8:18.78 minutes was not an improvement on the previous year for the 22-year-old.

In the 2014 season Ndiku emerged as a top senior level athlete. In the steeplechase he opened with a run of 8:10.72 minutes (his fastest time since 2011) which brought him third place at the IAAF World Challenge Beijing behind Paul Kipsiele Koech and Jairus Birech. He followed this with a runner-up finish at the national championships (behind Birech) and a top three finish at the Athletissima Diamond League meeting. He was chosen for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and was the least favoured entrant of the Kenyan team behind world-leader Birech and reigning world and Olympic champion Ezekiel Kemboi. However, Ndiku completed an upset by keeping with the pair before pulling ahead in the final lap to win the gold medal in a Games record time of 8:10.44 minutes.

1500 metres – 3:39.27 min (2010)

title: Henry Lowcock

text:
Henry W. Lowcock (c. 1837 – 1901) was an English businessman in Hong Kong and member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong.

Early Years
Lowcock was born in Middlesex, England in about 1837.

Career
He joined Gibb, Livingston & Co., a prominent trading firm in Hong Kong and China, and became a partner in July 1868 following the retirement of Edward Ford Duncanson and William Henry Gibb.

Lowcock was appointed to the Police Inquiry Commission in 1871 and was subsequently appointed to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong on 26 February 1872 as an interim replacement for Richard Rowett, who was on leave. He was re-appointed to the Legislative Council on 23 January 1875 upon Rowett's resignation. He was a Trustee of St. John's Cathedral. He retired from Gibb, Livingston & Co. on 31 March 1882.

Personal life and family

title: Sir Mark Palmer, 5th Baronet

text:
Sir Charles Mark Palmer, 5th Baronet (born 21 November 1941) is a British modelling agency manager who formed one of the first modelling agencies devoted to the male image, and later adopted an alternative lifestyle, travelling around Britain in a horse-drawn caravan.

Early life
Mark Palmer is the son of Sir Anthony Palmer, 4th Baronet and Henriette, Lady Abel Smith. His godmother was Queen Elizabeth II.

Palmer was educated at Eton College and spent a year at the University of Oxford.

From 1956 to 1959, he was Page of Honour to Queen Elizabeth II.

Career
In 1966, Palmer and Alice Pollock founded the early male modelling agency English Boy in Chelsea, London, with Palmer as manager. As Palmer said, "to change the image of British manhood and put the boy, as opposed to the girl, on the magazine cover in the future." In 1967, the New York Times reported that Palmer's English Boy had 12 young men on its books, "they are lean in the Twiggy style and look as though they need a good night's sleep. They don't smile.", and that they often buy their clothes from Hung On You. Other clients included Christine Keeler, who Palmer wanted to represent for films and television as well as modelling, but according to Keeler, "nothing developed". Brian Jones and Anita Pallenberg were also on the agency's books, but no work resulted.

By the end of the 1960s and into the 1970s, he was the leader of a wealthy band of New Age travellers who moved about in horse-drawn caravans and spent much time in the 1970s at Stargroves, the house and estate in East Woodhay, Hampshire, owned by Mick Jagger.

In 1972, Palmer helped Marc Bolan's wife June with a wide-ranging search for a country house, and they purchased the Grade II listed Old Rectory at Weston-under-Penyard, near Ross-on-Wye, which Bolan owned until 1977.

He made by hand the coffin for the 1999 funeral at London's Brompton Cemetery of the artists' model and memoirist Henrietta Moraes, who had spent time with Palmer in the early 1970s in his "cavalcade of horse-drawn caravans".

Personal life
Palmer was married to the astrologer Catherine Tennant, who wrote a weekly column for the Daily Telegraph's magazine.

title: Nilpena

text:
Nilpena Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station (formerly a sheep station) in the northern Flinders Ranges in South Australia.

Ediacaran fossils were discovered on the station in 1985, and in 2016,  two-thirds of the property was sold to the Government of South Australia, to become part of the Nilpena Ediacara National Park when proclaimed in 2021.  the owners of the station are the Fargher family.

History
Thomas Elder and Robert Barr Smith acquired Nilpena in 1859.

William James Browne owned the property in 1879 when he had the drover Giles take 12,000 sheep from Nilpena and overland them all the way to his new properties Newcastle Waters and Delamere Stations. Only 8000 sheep survived the journey, but it was still regarded as one of the most remarkable droving feats in Australian history. Browne appointed Roderick John Matheson to manage the property, along with Arkaba Station. Matheson and John Lewis later bought Nilpena, with Matheson later buying out Lewis.

In 1925, the Old Nilpena Station was placed on the market for auction. At this time it occupied  and was stocked with over 3000 merino sheep. It failed to reach the reserve price of £11,750.

Matheson still owned the property in 1926, along with neighbouring Warrioota Station, which together occupied an area of . He was running about 15,000 sheep across the two properties. Colin Matheson and his wife had taken over by 1931.
For some time in the 1930s through to the early 1950s, both sheep and cattle were run on the property. In 1944 the property was carrying 7000 sheep.

In January 1948, Colin Matheson of "Wilpena Station, via Quorn", was critically injured in a car accident in Adelaide. In 1950, the station was run by the Nilpena Pastoral Company, whose managing director was a Mr Toll. In that year, the station received 18 months' worth of rain over three days, some . The  property had over  completely under water. Toll estimated at the time that the property would have sufficient feed guaranteed for the next two years.
In 1950, the property was described as located approximately  west of Blinman and  north of Hawker in the Flinders Ranges and bounded by Lake Torrens.

Some time prior to the 1980s, Nilpena was fully converted into a cattle station, and the Fargher family acquired the property. Ross Fargher discovered a pristine Ediacaran fossil site in 1985 that later became the focus of ground-breaking research, and an application being made for  World Heritage listing to help protect the site.
In 2009, the station occupied an area of . In 2016, the Government of South Australia purchased two-thirds of Nilpena Station from the Fargher family, in order to enlarge Ediacara Conservation Park and to include land on which some of the valuable fossils were found.

Nilpena Ediacara National Park
In 2021 a large area was proclaimed as Nilpena Ediacara National Park, which opened in April 2023. Ross and Jane Fargher, who have been working for seven years with Jason Irving, head of the national parks program, are acting as caretakers of the fossil beds until a ranger is appointed.

In media
In 2009, the fossils and the property featured on the David Attenborough TV series First Life.
