title: Catherine Gavin

text:
Catherine Irvine Gavin (13 May 1907 – 27 December 1999) was a Scottish academic historian, war correspondent, and historical novelist.

Early life
Gavin was born in Aberdeen in 1907, and studied history and English at the University of Aberdeen, graduating with first-class honours. She completed doctoral work in 1931, with a doctoral thesis on Louis Philippe of France; her thesis was published in 1933.

Career
Gavin held positions as a history lecturer at Aberdeen and at the University of Glasgow. She stood unsuccessfully as a Unionist candidate in two parliamentary elections in the 1930s.

During World War II, she worked in France and the Netherlands for Kemsley Newspapers. She also wrote a biography of Edward VII, published in 1941. She was a correspondent in the Middle East and Ethiopia after the war, for the Daily Express. After marriage, she worked a few years on the staff of Time magazine in New York. She wrote about her wartime experiences in Liberated France (1955).

Most of Gavin's literary output was in the genre of historical romance. "Her characters are attractive flesh-and-blood people, her narrative adventurous and suspenseful, and her use of history skillful and unerring," reported one American reviewer in 1957. The University of Aberdeen awarded her an honorary DLitt in 1986. The Catherine Gavin Room there is named in her honour. The university has a 1940 portrait of her, in oil, by Elizabeth Mary Watt.

Gavin appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 24 June 1978.

title: Dündar of Hamidoğlu

text:
Dündar Bey (conventionally called Falakuddin Dündar bin Ilyas bin Hamit) was the founder of Hamidoğlu Beylik, an Anatolian beylik in the 14th century. (Anatolia is the Asiatic part of Turkey). His father was İlyas Bey.

In the 13th century, Seljuks of Anatolia settled Hamit Bey's Turkoman tribe in the newly conquered territory in southwest Anatolia around Uluborlu. But after Seljuks were defeated by the Mongols in 1243, eventually like all other Turkmen tribes Hamit's tribe became semi independent under Mongol Ilkhanate suzerainty. Hamit's grandson Dündar conquered Antalya port and appointed his brother Yunus as the governor of the city. Over confident of himself, he declared independence and assumed the title sultan in 1316. However, Timurtash the high commander of Mongols in Anatolia marched to Eğirdir, Dündar's capital and Dündar fled to Antalya. But Mahmud the governor of the city who was Dündar's nephew allied himself with the Mongols and arrested him. He was executed by the Mongols in 1324. Timurtash temporarily annexed the territory around Eğridir but Mahmut kept his possessions. On the other hand, after Timurtash himself took refuge in Egypt, Dündar's sons were able to continue their father's beylik (without the southern lands around Antalya which were issued from the main beylik and called Teke Beylik after 1327).

Family
He had three sons. Hızır Bey, Ishak Bey and Muhamet Bey.

title: National symbols of Latvia

text:
Symbols of Latvia are items or symbols that have symbolic meaning to, or represent, Latvia. These symbols are seen in official capacities, such as flags, coats of arms, postage stamps, and currency, and in URLs. They appear less formally as recurring themes in  literature, art and folk art, heraldry, monuments, clothing, personal decoration, and as the names of parks, bridges, streets, and clubs. The less formal manifestations may be classified as national emblems.

During the occupation of Latvia by the Soviet Union and briefly by Nazi Germany during World War II, the anthem, coat of arms and flag were prohibited from display and the Soviet versions of the flag, coat of arms and the anthem were used during its rule as a Soviet republic. All national symbols of Latvia were reinstated in 1990 before Latvia restored its independence a year later which are considered the continuation of the Latvian state before its occupation in 1940. The public display of the Nazi swastika and the Soviet hammer and sickle along with other symbols associated with them are now banned in Latvia in 2014.

Official symbols

Flag

The national flag of Latvia is a carmine red field with a narrow white stripe in the middle, the flag was created in 1917 based on a 13th-century legend from the Rhymed Chronicle of Livonia that a Latgalian leader was wounded in battle, and the edges of the white sheet in which he was wrapped were stained by his blood with the center stripe of the flag is left unstained. It was officially adopted in 1921 but suppressed after the country was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, and officially restored in 1990.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms of Latvia is used new symbols for the nation's freedom and elements from coats of arms of Polish and Swedish Livonia and the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia, it was adopted in 1921 along with the national flag, but abolished in 1940 after Soviet occupation started, and officially restored in 1990.

National Anthem

Dievs, svētī Latviju! is the national anthem of Latvia. It was initially created in 1873 as a patriotic song, and in 1920 became the national anthem.

Other symbols
Besides the three official symbols, there are some other objects in Latvia which have the symbolic value for national identity, including the national flower ox-eye daisy, the national tree small-leaved linden and European oak, the national mineral amber, Freedom Monument as the symbol of Latvian independence, national festival Jāņi.


title: Hurden ship canal

text:
The Hurden ship canal () is a  long canal in the Swiss canton of Schwyz. It connects the lower section of Lake Zürich with the upper section, sometimes called the Obersee, permitting shipping services on the lake to pass between the two halves of the lake without passing through the shallows, and under the low bridges, of the Seedamm. The canal was opened in 1943, and cuts through the base of the peninsular containing the village of Hurden, thus placing the centre of the village on an artificial island.

The canal is spanned by the Sternenbrücke, which carries both road and railway, with the railway being used by the S5 and S40 lines of the S-Bahn Zürich and by the Südostbahn Voralpen Express. This bridge was renewed between March and November 2010 to allow 40 ton trucks to cross the Seedamm.

The canal's navigation channel is only wide enough to pass a single ship at a time, and vessels proceeding up the lake must give way to vessels proceeding downstream. Amongst other vessels, it is used by the paddle steamers and motor ships of the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft on their services from the city of Zürich to the Obersee.

To the west of the Sternenbrücke, the canal passes through the Frauenwinkel nature reserve, with its important bog landscape.

title: Robert Thyer

text:
Robert Thyer (1709–1781) was an 18th-century British writer and literary editor, best known as Chetham's Librarian.

Life
Son of Robert Thyer, a silk weaver of Manchester, by his wife Elizabeth Brabant, he was baptised on 20 February 1709 at Manchester Collegiate Church. Educated at Manchester Grammar School, he won an exhibition in 1727 to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he graduated as a BA on 12 October 1730, and was later elected FSA

Returning to Lancashire, Thyer was appointed as librarian of Chetham's Library in February 1732, and continued in post until 3 October 1763. A close friend of John Byrom, he was also on good terms with the Egertons of Tatton Park, Cheshire (his wife's first husband, John Leigh (who died in 1738), was a relation of the Earls of Bridgewater); Thyer was a legatee under the will of Samuel Egerton, M.P.

Thyer died on 27 October 1781 and was buried at Manchester Collegiate Church where his ancestors were buried.

Legacy
Some of Thyer's manuscripts went to the Chetham Library, and many of his letters, as well as a specimen of his verse, were printed in Byrom's Remains.

Works
Thyer annotated and published in 1759 The Genuine Remains in Verse and Prose of Samuel Butler, 2 vols., and contemplated a new annotated edition of Hudibras. He was working with papers left by Butler to William Longueville, patron and literary executor, and now in the British Library (Add. MS. 32625). Dr Samuel Johnson was complimentary, while Bishop William Warburton and others criticised Thyer. A new edition of the Remains came out in 1827. Thyer was also one of the scholars who supplied notes to Thomas Newton for his edition of John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Family
Thyer married, on 9 December 1741, Silence, daughter of John Wagstaffe of Hasland Hall, Derbyshire, and widow of John Leigh of Middle Hulton near Deane, Lancashire, great-great-grandfather of Lydia Becker and uncle of Sir Egerton Leigh, 1st Baronet as too of Dr Egerton Leigh of West Hall, High Legh in Cheshire.

title: Ground Zero (As Blood Runs Black album)

text:
Ground Zero is the third studio album by the American deathcore band As Blood Runs Black. It was released on October 27, 2014. It is the band's first album with the vocalist Christopher Bartholomew. The songs "Insomniac", "Vision", "An Oath", and "Eulogy" have clean vocals, a first for the band.

History
Crowdfunding for the album began on June 30, 2013, and ended on September 29, 2013. Due to numerous setbacks (robbery, being dropped from their record label, several lineup changes — including then-vocalist Sonik Garcia) - many fans speculated that the band might not produce their third album. According to the drummer Hector "Lech" De Santiago, on August 11, 2014, the band was splitting up. A week later, on August 18, the band released the first single from the album, titled "Insomniac", and announced a final North America farewell tour to support the album beginning in fall 2014. The band intended to part ways on concluding the tour.

title: Another Language (album)

text:
Another Language is the fourth studio album by American post-rock band This Will Destroy You. It was released on September 12, 2014, by Suicide Squeeze Records and Hobbledehoy Record Co. Another Language was preceded by the digital release of two singles, "Dustism" and "Invitation".

Background and production
According to a press release published by Suicide Squeeze Records, the album was recorded after a "prolonged vacuous dark period that threatened to break both the band and the members themselves". In February 2013, one of the band's guitarists, Jeremy Galindo, said that the band had started writing the next studio album. Nine months later, the band said they were halfway done with the recording process. In February 2014, the band's bassist
Donovan Jones reported that they were still working on the album.
This is the last album to feature Donovan Jones and Alex Bhore after they left the band in late May 2016.

Composition
According to the band, Another Language'''s sound is "more upbeat and rhythmic" than their previous work. They also described the sound of the album with the genre "doomgaze", a portmanteau of the words doom metal and shoegaze. Fred Thomas of AllMusic described the sound of the album as "far heavier" than the "tense, brooding post-rock" on the band's previous work. He characterized the sound of Another Language as "cinematic" post-rock influenced by doom metal and shoegaze, and called the production "more intricate" and "otherworldly". Thomas also praised the band's "always airtight sense of dynamics". Matt Bobkin of Exclaim! labeled the album's sound as post-rock, but acknowledged that the band seemed to be moving away from that sound.

The album's first track, "New Topia", "grows from laid-back rhythms and gentle bell sounds into a slow, pounding wail". Thomas found that the production of the track was influenced by drone metal, and the other sounds "blur into a hungry wash of delay and toothy noise". "Dustism" was characterized by "dubbed-out drums and high-pitched feedback synths", while "Invitation" features "rolling, distorted rhythms and faraway guitar sounds". "Serpent Mound" features an ambient opening followed by "face-melting melodic guitar lines with a solid wave of fuzzy, distorted sound and crashing drums", described by Bobkin as "doomgaze". The album's closing track, "God's Teeth", features ambient sounds that were compared to the works of Brian Eno and William Basinski.

 Release and promotion
The release and album artwork of the album were announced on June 23, 2014, with the release of the first single, "Dustism". The album's second single, "Invitation", was released on August 11. Another Language was made available for streaming through Pitchfork Media on September 8. A video to accompany the album was directed by Sean Miller and Christopher Royal King.

Prior to the album release, This Will Destroy You announced a worldwide concert and festival tour, with support from Future Death and Silent Land Time Machine in North America, and Thought Forms and Lymbyc Systym in Europe.

 Critical reception Another Language received positive reviews upon its release. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album held a score of 72/100 based on nine reviews—indicating "generally favorable reviews"—following its release. Fred Thomas of AllMusic, who gave the album four out of five stars, complimented the band's "more intricate, otherworldly production methods" and ability to write intense songs that are not "overly long". He praised the closing track of the album, "God's Teeth", calling it "gorgeous and haunting". Matt Bobkin of Exclaim!'', who gave the album seven out of ten points, criticized the album for its long ambient segments in the middle of the record, but praised the following tracks, "Invitation" and "Memory Loss".

Patricia Batty Shaw, CBE (born Patricia Heckels, 1928–2004) was a chairwoman of the United Kingdom's National Federation of Women's Institutes.

She was born at Epsom, Surrey, England, on 18 November 1928. Her father was a general practitioner and medical officer to the Derby horse race.

She was educated at Wimbledon High School and trained as a medical social worker (almoner) at Southampton University. She then worked at Guy's Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital. On 7 May 1954, she married Dr. Anthony Batty Shaw at St Martins, Epsom and took his double-barrelled surname.

title: Who's Doing the Dishes?

text:
Who's Doing the Dishes? is a cooking game show that aired on ITV from 1 September 2014 to 14 October 2016 and is hosted by Brian McFadden.

Format
Who's Doing the Dishes? featured four diners in a celebrity's home who cooked them a three-course meal. The diners had to guess the identity of the celebrity from six clues that the celebrity would come up with. Three were given in the names of the dishes and three were given around the house. If the diners guessed the celebrity's identity correctly, they would win a £500 cash prize and the celebrity had to wash the dishes. If they guessed wrong, the contestants had to wash the dishes themselves. In series 2, "Brian's Bonus" was introduced. This was an extra clue from McFadden, which if taken, reduced the day's winnings from £500 to £400.

title: Lighthouse of Ponta do Albernaz

text:
The Ponta do Albernaz Lighthouse () is a beacon/lighthouse located along the cliffs of Ponta do Albernaz in the northern parish of Ponta Delgada on the island of Flores, in the Archipelago of the Azores, Portugal.

History

It was erected in the northwest tip of the island, over a clifftop that allowed visibility to northern traffic around the island's waters.

Initially projected under the 1883 Plano Geral de Alumiamento e Balizagem (Illumination and Buoyage General Plan) for the settlement of Ponta Delgada, its construction was pre-empted by the 1902 commission, which intended to develop a new lighthouse based on modern technologies at the time. The plan called for the construction of a fourth-order lighthouse, and was projected by the commission for the area of Ponta do Albarnaz,  away from the settlement, in an elevated position along the western coast that allowed visibility in Corvo and the entire northwest coast of Flores (the promontory of Ponta do Albernaz).

This was a polemic decision, as indicated from the commission's minutes, wherein the body decided firmly:
"It was of great importance to the Commission that the illumination of that group (the islands of Flores and Corvo) that a study was made, with the most blatant attention and debated, the group of advantages that could accrue to navigation, by installing on the same Ponta do Albernaz a hyper-radiant appliance."

The 1902 commission in charge of adapting the general plan to the new realities, proposed the installation of a first-order light, with an equidistant beacon providing rotation at 5 second intervals.

A friendly contract was signed with property-owner João Lourenço in 1922, and the  pastureland was expropriated (at the cost of $3.500 reis), for the construction of the lighthouse. It was a real feat of construction, since there was no access by road to the parish of Ponta Delgada, and much less to the tip of Albernaz.

The lighthouse was equipped with a third-order dioptoric beacon with a  focal length, moved by clockwork turntable, serving a  range. The lighthouse became operational on 28 January 1925, utilizing a lamp powered by diesel generator, which was later converted to incandescent light in 1938, allowing the beacon extend its range to .

In 1938, a plane crashed in the vicinity of the lighthouse.

The site was electrified in 1956, using generating cells, and a new 3000 Watt/110 Volt lamp was installed. But, it was only in another four years before the site became linked to the telephone network. In the following decades new improvements were installed at the site, including the expansion of the lighthouse and in the upgrade of the beacon with a  1000 W, 120 Volt lamp (in 1983). In 1968, the parish priest (João de Jesus Lourenço) acquired  for 1000$00 escudos, with the intent of expanding the number of lighthouse-keepers. in the 1980s, the lamp was replaced with metallic 1000 Watt/120 Volt halogen lamp.

Yet, by 2005, it was the unique lighthouse in the country not linked to the national electrical network.

title: Lasing without inversion

text:
Lasing without inversion (LWI), or lasing without population inversion, is a technique used for light amplification by stimulated emission without the requirement of population inversion. A laser working under this scheme exploits the quantum interference between the probability amplitudes of atomic transitions in order to eliminate absorption without disturbing the stimulated emission. This phenomenon is also the essence of electromagnetically induced transparency.

The basic LWI concept was first predicted by Ali Javan in 1956. The first demonstration of LWI was carried out by Marlan Scully in an experiment in rubidium and sodium at Texas A&M University, and then at NIST in Boulder.

title: Janne Lucas Persson

text:
Jan Lars Persson (born 3 October 1947), known by his stage name Janne Lucas, is a Swedish singer, songwriter and musician. He is best known as the lead vocalist and primary lyricist of pop band Lucas.

Early life
Janne Lucas was born Jan Persson in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 3 October 1947. As a child, he spent time in Frillesås, where his grandparents lived.

Career

1965–1969: Lucas
At the age of 18, Persson formed a pop group, Lucas. The group's name came from one of Persson's friends who thought that if you could call a pop group something as Tages, Lucas would work as a name too. The group was characterized by his skilful piano playing and singing. The group's breakthrough came two years later, in 1967, when they won Sveriges Radio's Pop Band Competition, and charted on Tio i Topp with the song "Antisocial Season". The band had its first success with a cover version of The Moody Blues' song "Go Now", originally written by Bessie Banks in 1964. Lucas' single was one of the most popular songs in Sweden in 1968. The song peaked at No. 2 on Tio i Topp where it stayed for 8 weeks.

Later in 1967, the Swedish newspaper Bildjournalen released its own vinyl record, on which Lucas was featured with their song "Touring". The band made several successful tours in Scandinavia throughout their career, playing as an opening act for The Rolling Stones in Helsingborg and for Jimi Hendrix at Liseberg.

As pop bands became less popular in the late 1960s, Lucas disbanded in 1969.

1969–present: Solo career
As Lucas disbanded in 1969, Persson pursued a solo career. Persson played the piano on Pugh Rogefeldt's 1973 album Pugh on the Rocks. In the early 1970s, Persson moved to Las Palmas where he played the piano in the house band of a whiskey club. The Swedish music manager Stig Anderson contacted Persson, who wanted him to go on a summer tour together with Ted Gärdestad and Lena Andersson. Persson accepted and returned to Sweden.

Janne Lucas participated at Melodifestivalen 1980 with the song "Växeln hallå", coming in second. The upcoming year he participated with the song "Rocky Mountain", ending up third.

For many years, Janne Lucas also acted as pianist for Vi i femman.

Janne also accompanied the vocal group Noviserna for a while, where Anna-Lisa Cederquist participated.

In a Bildjournalen issue was a commercial record with, among others, the band Lucas and the song One Night Stand.

On 6 November 2009, he participated at Doobidoo in SVT, playing "Växeln hallå" on the piano.

He is also the choral director for the Onsala and Mölnlycke Gospel Choir.

title: Paksiw

text:
Paksiw () is a Filipino style of cooking, whose name  means "to cook and simmer in vinegar". Common dishes bearing the term, however, can vary substantially depending on what is being cooked.

Pinangat na isda may sometimes also be referred to as paksiw, though it is a different but related dish that uses sour fruits like calamansi, kamias (bilimbi) or sampalok (tamarind) to sour the broth rather than vinegar.

Types
Paksiw refers to a wide range of very different dishes that are cooked in a vinegar broth. They include the following:

Ginataang paksiw na isda

A common variant of ginataang isda (fish in coconut milk) that adds vinegar to sour the broth. This variant combines the ginataan and paksiw methods of cooking in Filipino cuisine.

Inun-unan
Inun-unan or inun-onan is a notable Visayan version of the fish paksiw dish spiced primarily with ginger, as well as onions, shallots, pepper, salt, and sometimes siling haba chilis. Unlike northern paksiw na isda, it does not include vegetables and very little or no water is added to the broth. It is sometimes anglicized as "boiled pickled fish". The name comes from the Visayan verb un-un or un-on, meaning to "stew with vinegar, salt, and spices."

Paksiw na baboy
Paksiw na baboy, which is pork, usually hock or shank (paksiw na pata for pig's trotters), cooked in ingredients similar to those in adobo but with the addition of sugar and banana blossoms (or pineapples) to make it sweeter and water to keep the meat moist and to yield a rich sauce.

Paksiw na dilis
A unique variant of fish paksiw made with anchovies (known as dilis in Tagalog and bolinaw in Visayan languages) that is then wrapped in a banana leaf. It is also known as inun-unan na bolinaw or pinais na bolinaw in Visayan-speaking regions.

Paksiw na isda
Paksiw na isda is fish poached in a vinegar broth usually seasoned with fish sauce and spiced with siling mahaba. It also usually includes vegetables, commonly ampalaya (bitter melon).

Paksiw na lechon
Paksiw na lechon, which is left-over spit-roasted pork (lechon) meat cooked in vinegar, garlic, onions, black pepper, and some water. The Luzon version adds ground liver or liver spread ("lechon sauce"), while the Visayan versions do not.

title: Experiment of Leith

text:
Experiment of Leith was a catamaran engineered by the Scottish banker Patrick Miller of Dalswinton, to be used by the Swedish fleet in the Russo-Swedish War (1788-90). By the time the ship reached Stockholm the war was, however, already over.

The ship
The ship had five masts, and the two hulls were each 32 metres long and 3.7 metres wide. In the absence of wind it could be driven by  four or five paddlewheels powered by a capstan. Predating the marine implementation of steam power by a few decades the ship was thus powered manually by the crew and was reported to have reached 4.3 knots.

Experiment of Leith was anchored to the east of the island of Skeppsholmen in Stockholm where it remained for over four years until it was sunk in 1794 in order to form part of the  foundation for a bridge.

The ship was a smaller version of one of Miller's earlier plans for a warship, which had been referred to by Swedish naval architect Fredrik Henrik af Chapman as the "Sea-Spook".

The golden box
In return for the ship the king of Sweden, Gustavus III, gave Miller a golden box. It was the size of a snuff box and is kept today at the Victoria and Albert Museum together with the letter of thanks from the Swedish king, dated 20 May 1791.

The box contained swede seeds which Miller planted, and which are said to have started the Scottish taste for turnips or "neeps", eaten for example as a classic side to the national dish haggis.

title: Shawn Porter vs. Kell Brook

text:
Shawn Porter vs. Kell Brook was a professional boxing match contested between IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter and the IBF's number one ranked contender Kell Brook. The bout took place on August 16, 2014 at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Brook defeated Porter by majority decision, with two judges scoring the bout 117–111 and 116–112 in favour of Brook, while the third scored it a draw at 114–114.

Background

Porter
Shawn Porter had won his world title by defeating Devon Alexander on December 7, 2013. He went on to defend his title against Paulie Malignaggi on April 19, 2014.
He went into the fight with Brook as a heavy favourite, with boxers Keith Thurman, Amir Khan and Devon Alexander all predicting Porter would knock Brook out.

Brook
Kell Brook had been in line to face the IBF champion since October, 2012. Although he had been rated as the number 1 contender for nearly two years, many boxing experts questioned his previous opposition, and felt Porter would be too big a step up.

The Fight
Despite being a heavy underdog, Brook boxed well against Porter, and collected the victory via a majority decision.

Brook: 441 Thrown, 158 Landed, 36% Connect Rate

Porter: 626 Thrown, 154 Landed, 25% Connect Rate

Post Fight
Brook stated he was confident he had won the fight afterwards, whilst Porter said he felt he was "still the champion."
There was criticism from Kenny Porter, Shawn Porter's father and trainer, about what he perceived as excessive clinching from Kell Brook despite Porter being just as bad or more so by hitting Brook at the back of the head.

Fight Purses
 Shawn Porter ($500,000) lost Kell Brook ($200,000)
 Sakio Bika ($700,000) lost Anthony Dirrell ($500,000)
 Deontay Wilder ($50,000) def. Jason Gavern ($32,500)

April
The month started on 4 April with a 1–2 away win over Flamurtari Vlorë with the goals scored by Muça and Bušić. Four days later, in the first leg of Albanian Cup semi-final, Tirana was unable to break the fortitude of Laçi as they drew 0–0 at Qemal Stafa Stadium in front of more than 2,000 fans. In the next league match against Vllaznia Shkodër on 12th, Tirana were behind in the 33rd following the superb goal of Eraldo Çinari, but they responded in the second half with two goals of Muça, who scored his first career brace. After the match, he dedicated the goals to the Tirana ultras, Geri Allkaj, who died in a car accident two days before. Tirana continues its good run in league by beating 3–1 away Elbasani with the goals of Hyshmeri, Bušić and Bakaj. On 22 April, in the returning leg of Albanian Cup semi-final, Tirana fell to Laçi by losing 1–0 thanks to the winner of James Adeniyi. This match saw Tirana playing with ten players following the exclusion of Ndikumana in the 16th minute following a brawl with Olsi Teqja, who was only yellow-carded. Teqja also injured the knee of Gjergji Muzaka in the 42nd minute of the match, and he soon needed surgery on his knee. He undergo the surgery on 11 May in Rome, and started recovering from his knee injury in Greece. On 26 April, in the last league match for this month, Tirana finally prevail over Laçi by beating them 1–0 at Qemal Stafa Stadium thanks to late goal of Francis Kahata.

May
In the last derby of the season against Partizani Tirana, Tirana drew 2–2 after taking the advantage in the 34th minute with Elis Bakaj, who scored even the second goal. This draw shattered the club hopes of winning the title, as Skënderbeu cemented its first spot with five points gap and with only three matches to go. Five days later, in the next league match exactly against Skënderbeu, Tirana didn't go more than a goalless draw as Skënderbeu received what they come for. This with precious draw, Skënderbeu assured mathematically the 5th consecutive league title, as Tirana went trophyless for the third year in a row.

Now that the "league goal" was gone, the only goal left for Tirana was to qualify in the European competitions, but to achieve this they had to beat Kukësi in the penultimate championship round. However, for Tirana thing went from bad to worse as they were thrashed 4–1 by Kukësi at Zeqir Ymeri Stadium thanks to the goal of Hysa and hat-trick of Pero Pejić. This heavy lose forced the coach Gugash Magani to resign after more than a year in change. He was temporarily replaced by his assistant Ndubuisi Egbo for the final championship round, in which Tirana won 1–0 against Teuta Durrës thanks to the late winner of Elis Bakaj. Tirana ended the season in disappointment, in an eventual 4th league place and an Albanian Cup semi-final exit to Laçi.

title: DWF Group

text:
DWF is a global legal business, headquartered in Manchester, England, with 31 offices across the world. In March 2019, DWF was listed on the London Stock Exchange. With a £366m valuation and offer size of £95m, DWF became the UK's largest listed law firm.

The firm started as a four office practice in North West England and has now grown globally through a series of international mergers. It currently has around 3,100 staff and is the 19th-largest law firm in the UK measured by revenues. It advises national and multinational corporations, financial institutions and governments.

DWF's London offices at 20 Fenchurch Street also known as London's "Walkie Talkie"

In March 2019, DWF floated on the London Stock Exchange, valued at just under £370m, rather short of the £1 billion that it was hoping for a year earlier.

History
Davies Wallis was founded in 1977 in Liverpool and merged with Dodds Ashcroft in 1989.

A merger with Foysters in 1990 brought a Manchester office and a change of name to Davies Wallis Foyster, which was abbreviated to DWF in 2007, shortly after the acquisition of Ricksons. The Ricksons acquisition added offices in Preston and Leeds. DWF opened a London office in 2008.

A series of acquisitions in 2012 and 2013 added offices in Birmingham (Buller Jeffries), Newcastle (Crutes), Glasgow and Edinburgh (both Biggart Baillie), Bristol, Dublin and a second London office (Fishburns), before acquiring Cobbetts through a pre-pack administration.

In 2014, DWF reported a 23% increase in net profit from £20.8 million in 2012/13 to £25.5 million in its first full year financial results following four mergers.

DWF opened an office in Dubai in March 2015, the firm's first office outside of the British Isles.

DWF opened six offices in 2017, including two new operations in Continental Europe. The firm opened in Berlin after hiring two lawyers from DLA Piper. It also launched its first office in France through a merger with four-partner Paris firm Heenan Blaikie. In the Asia Pacific region, DWF also launched two offices in Melbourne and Brisbane through a combination with independent firm MVM Legal.

DWF further opened in Singapore after hiring from Eversheds Sutherland’s practice. It gained bases in Sydney, Chicago and Toronto after the acquisition of claims company Triton in January.

DWF posted strong results for H1 2017/18, with revenue up 23% and net profit increasing by circa 33%. Turnover for H1 2017/18 was £113.5m in a period marked by a spate of office openings in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.

In June 2018, DWF announced its intention to seek a stock exchange listing.

The firm strengthened the IPO business case with a double-digit growth in September 2018. DWF posted revenue growth of 18% from £201.3m to £236m ($309m) for 2017/18 ahead of the firm's initial public offering. The firm also said profit per equity partner (PEP) increased by 9%.

In September 2018, DWF agreed to an exclusive association with US law firm Wood, Smith, Henning & Berman LLP (WSHB), a Los Angeles headquartered full-service law firm with 22 offices across the US, 56 partners and 250 lawyers, and generated gross revenue of $81m in its last financial year.

In January 2020, DWF acquired Mindcrest, a legal and managed services business, for $18.50 million.

title: The Farmer and his Sons

text:
The Farmer and his Sons is a story of Greek origin that is included among Aesop's Fables and is listed as 42 in the Perry Index. It illustrates both the value of hard work and the need to temper parental advice with practicality.

The Fable
A farmer nearing death calls his sons to him in secret and tells them not to divide the family land since there is a treasure hidden somewhere on it. But afterwards, although they dig it over carefully, they find nothing. However, when the crops (or in some versions the vines) flourish profitably, they realise the valuable hidden meaning of his advice refers to hard work.

The fable is rare in dealing directly with the human situation, rather than through the intermediary of animals. Although it has long been accepted as one of Aesop's, and appeared as his in early European collections, the story has also been ascribed to the philosopher Socrates. The Neo-Latin poets Gabriele Faerno and Hieronymus Osius both wrote poetic versions, as did Jean de la Fontaine in French.

There is no consistency of titling. Greek sources make the father a farmer (Γεωργὸς), while Osius calls him a peasant (rusticus). Caxton's description is labourer, as is La Fontaine's, although the French laboureur has the meaning of an independent husbandman, the term used by Samuel Croxall. The nature of the ground cultivated differs as well. The 15th century illustrations in the Medici Manuscript and in Heinrich Steinhowel's collection make it a vineyard, as it is also described in the poems by Faerno and Osius, but other versions are not always so specific.

The moral of the story appears pithily in La Fontaine's version as le travail est un trésor (work is wealth), as is also made explicit in the Greek (ὁ κάματος θησαυρός ἐστι) and in Faerno's Latin (thesaurus est labor). English versions have been more roundabout and long-winded. Caxton prefaces the story with the opinion that "He that laboureth and werketh contynuelly maye not faylle to haue plente of goodes”. Croxall prefaces his long application with, "Labour and Industry, well applied, seldom fail of finding a Treasure”, while Thomas Bewick's edition contains the verse “Assiduous pains the swelling coffers fill”. However, Bewick's main comment is on the value of the father’s advice and the craft by which he conveyed it. This also is what attracts the attention of Roger L'Estrange: “Good Counsel is the best Legacy a Father can leave to a Child”.

Treatment in the arts
The 15th century manuscript illustration already mentioned combines the sons gathered about their dying father's bed with a view of their toiling in the vineyard. Most subsequent textual treatments of the fable chose either one or the other theme, until the composite treatment in Benjamin Rabier's poster of 1906. However, magic-realist painter Lukáš Kándl prefers to point towards the fable's moral in depicting plants breaking out of the ground, each sheathing a gold-coloured pearl.

Several composers have set La Fontaine's version of the fable, Le laboureur et ses enfants. They include the four-part song by the Belgian harpist Felix Godefroid (1818-1897) and other French examples by Théodore Schloesser (1866), Paul Blanquière (1892) and E. Levasseur (1906). Two more, a setting for three children's voices by Henri Maréchal (Paris, 1900) and for four male voices by Jules Pajot, (Lyon, 1910), precede the more ambitious Eh bien ! Dansez maintenant (2006) by Vladimir Cosma, in which the fable is the final piece in a light-hearted interpretation for narrator and orchestra, in this case in the style of a pavane. The fable is also included in Isabelle Aboulker's Les Fables Enchantées (2004).

There have also been French dramatic treatments, including the three-act comédie rustique of 1935 by H. Frederic Pottecher (1905-2001) and the 1936 one-act version by painter-playwright Henri Brochet (1898-1952).

title: Lucky Boy (1929 film)

text:
Lucky Boy is a 1929 American musical comedy-drama film directed by Norman Taurog and Charles C. Wilson and starring George Jessel. The film was mainly a silent film with synchronized music and sound effects, as well as some talking sequences. The film's plot bore strong similarities to that of the hit 1927 film The Jazz Singer, which had originally been intended to star Jessel (the star of The Jazz Singer stage production) before Al Jolson took over the role.

Plot
A young Jewish man works in his father's jewelry business, but he does not like it at all—he wants to be an entertainer, something he knows that his father would never approve of. He comes up with a scheme to put on his own show in a theater and show his father that he can be a success, but things do not work out quite as well as he planned.

Production

The film was originally developed with the title The Schlemiel based on a story by Viola Brothers Shore. It was initially filmed without sound by director Norman Taurog under the working title of The Ghetto in April 1928, reportedly in a "record time" of twelve days. Based on his role in the original stage production of The Jazz Singer, Jessel was billed as "The Original Jazz Singer" in advertisements. Jessel was credited with writing the spoken and intertitle dialogue.

Music
The film's theme song (featured four times) was "My Mother's Eyes", which (along with the titular song "Lucky Boy") was composed by Abel Baer with lyrics by L. Wolfe Gilbert. The film also featured a score by Hugo Riesenfeld; "You're My Real Sweetheart" and "In My Bouquet of Memories" by Sam M. Lewis, Joe Young, and William Axt; "Keep Sweeping the Cobwebs Off the Moon" by  Sam M. Lewis, Joe Young, and Oscar Levant; and "My Blackbirds are Bluebirds Now" by Irving Caesar and Cliff Friend.

Alongside Lucky Boy'''s theatrical release, "My Mother's Eyes" was released by RCA Victor as a single (Victor 21852), backed with "When the Curtain Comes Down" written by Carl Hoefle, Al Lewis & Al Sherman. As well as becoming Jessel's signature number, the song was re-recorded several times, including an instrumental version by Tab Smith (1952), Frankie Valli's debut 1953 single (which also featured in the 2005 jukebox musical Jersey Boys and its 2014 film adaptation), and the titular song from the Sonny Stitt album, My Mother's Eyes (1963).

Preservation
Considered to be lost for many years, Lucky Boy'' is still in existence with a copy of the film held in the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
