title: The Boat Race 1991

text:
The 137th Boat Race took place on 30 March 1991. Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames.  Oxford, whose crew contained one of only two men to have rowed for both universities, won by  lengths.

In the reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie defeated Oxford's Isis, while Oxford won the Women's Boat Race.

Background
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues") and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Light Blues").  First held in 1829, the race takes place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities and followed throughout the United Kingdom and broadcast worldwide.  Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1990 race by  lengths, with Cambridge leading overall with 69 victories to Oxford's 66 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877).  The race was sponsored by Beefeater Gin.

The first Women's Boat Race took place in 1927, but did not become an annual fixture until the 1960s. Until 2014, the contest was conducted as part of the Henley Boat Races, but as of the 2015 race, it is held on the River Thames, on the same day as the men's main and reserve races.  The reserve race, contested between Oxford's Isis boat and Cambridge's Goldie boat has been held since 1965.  It usually takes place on the Tideway, prior to the main Boat Race.

Crews
The Oxford crew weighed  per rower more than their opponents.  The Oxford crew's average age was 22, while Cambridge were, on average, half a year younger.  Richard Young, Oxford's bow, had rowed for Cambridge in the 1990 race, making him one of only two men to earn a rowing Blue for both universities.  Both crews contained former Blues; Cambridge saw Richard Staite, Guy Pooley and Adam Wright return, while Oxford welcomed the return of Young, Calman Maclennan, Matthew Pinsent and Rupert Obholzer.

Race

Oxford won the toss and elected to start from the Surrey station.  Rating higher, Cambridge took an early lead under the guidance of experienced stroke Adam Wright, and were almost a length up after two-and-a-half minutes.  By the Mile Post, the lead was just a second and the long bend around Harrods Furniture Depository, afforded Oxford the advantage, and by Hammersmith Bridge the Dark Blues were over two seconds ahead. Extending their lead to seven seconds by Chiswick Steps, Oxford took control of the race and passed under Barnes Bridge with a twelve-second advantage.  Oxford passed the finishing post in a time of 16 minutes 59 seconds, the third-fastest time in the history of the Boat Race, winning their 18th race in 23 years.  The Beefeater Gin Trophy was presented to the victorious Oxford Boat Club president Obholzer by the Princess Royal.

In the reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie won by four lengths over Isis, their fourth victory in five years.   Oxford won the 46th Women's Boat Race by three lengths in a time of 7 minutes and 29 seconds, their second victory in four years.

Reaction
Oxford's finishing coach was surprised that Cambridge made such a good start, while his counterpart, Stephen Peel, had hoped that his crew would "rattle Oxford by breaking contact". Winning head coach Stephen Royle praised his stroke, Obholzer: "Rupert was brilliant.  He took the race by the scruff of the neck."  Despite Michels shouting "see you at the finish" as his boat pulled away from Cambridge, and a celebration considered "street-gang-style prancing" by the Oxford crew, Michels explained: "without Cambridge, there is no race.  The beauty of the event is the personal conflict, and that is what it brings out in the crowds."

title: Susanne Rottenbacher

text:
Susanne Rottenbacher (born 11 July 1969) is a German artist primarily concerned with light, color and installation.

Life and work

Susanne Rottenbacher studied stage design at Barnard College from 1988 to 1991 in New York (B.A.) and then (1991-1992) completed a degree in light (MSc) at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning in London. She worked as a set designer at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and as a light designer for the "LichtKunstLicht" planning office. In this context, among other things, she designed the lighting design for the Federal Chancellery and the new government buildings. She has been working as a freelance light artist since 2007. Susanne Rottenbacher creates expansive installations from sculptural elements that can best be described as light-colored bodies. Her sculptures are characterised by great lightness and transparency and change in dialogue with the surrounding space and times of day. They penetrate the surrounding space like three-dimensional drawings and thus reinterpret it. The organically curved forms seem to be in dynamic motion and at the same time frozen in time and space.

title: Isabelle M. Côté

text:
Isabelle M. Côté is a professor of marine ecology at Simon Fraser University in Canada.

Life and education

Côté is from Montreal, Quebec. She received her B.Sc. in marine biology from McGill University in 1984, her M.Sc. in zoology from the University of Alberta in 1987, and her Ph.D. in behavioral ecology from the University of Toronto in 1993. Her research is notable for its impact on coral reef conservation.

Career
Côté pioneered the use of meta-analyses in marine conservation. Her research has addressed the extent of coral reef declines in the Caribbean at a regional level, and measured the effectiveness of marine protected areas at enhancing fish and their habitats. Côté and coauthors demonstrated that protected areas were not necessarily more resistant to climate change. Her recent research has focused on the dramatic invasion of Indo-Pacific lionfish throughout the Caribbean, with a focus on sub-tidal research.

Previously, she was a faculty member at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK.

Côté has published over 200 academic publications on behavioural ecology, coral reef ecology, and conservation, receiving over 20,000 citations, resulting in an h-index and i10-index of 67 and 200 respectively. Côté has spoken about different aspects of marine conservation for different media outlets, including CBC News.

Kshana Kshana () is a 2007 Indian Kannada language crime thriller film directed by Sunil Kumar Desai and produced by B. S. Thirumalai. The film stars Aditya, Prema, Kiran Rathod and Ashutosh Rana in the lead roles with actor Vishnuvardhan appearing in a special role.

The film released on 2 June 2007 across Karnataka to positive response from the critics. However upon release, the film generally met with average reviews from audiences. The core storyline of the movie - the protagonist, a well-known person in his/her profession, fearing that he/she is being targeted by an unknown person who wants to kill him/her for his past unknown deeds, hiring a detective/bodyguard who in turn fakes few attacks on the protagonist to gain his/her confidence and finally the original assailant turning out to be a person very close to the protagonist - is loosely based on Sidney Sheldon's first novel The Naked Face (1970).

Plot
Samarth returns from Switzerland to Thailand and eventually gets appointed as a bodyguard to famous actress Maya. He wins over the confidence of Maya and Phalguni along with their family. The real purpose of his visit to India is to trace the psychiatrist killer of his brother and thinks that Maya has some special relationship with the killer. He manages to almost convince her that she might be the killer of his brother when a don Kishore, who is after Maya, kidnaps her and keep her in a remote place. Meanwhile, her friend Ananth who is aware of this entire incident, is also abducted. Then enters a specially appointed DCP Vishnu who interrogates everyone involved in this case.

title: Counterguard

text:
The counterguard (, ) is an outwork in a bastioned fortification system that usually comprises only a low rampart and which is sited in front of the actual fortress moat that runs around the bastions or ravelins. The rampart way of a counterguard is, however, so constructed and at least wide enough that it enables the positioning of guns. An additional ditch in front of it guards the work from a frontal enemy assault. The function of counterguards was to protect the higher ravelin or bastion behind it from direct fire and to delay an attack on it as long as possible. So that the counterguards and the works that they were to protect, could not come under simultaneous fire along the line of the rampart they were not allowed to run parallel to one another.

If such a rampart work was built for defending infantry alone, i.e. without artillery positions, it was called a couvreface.

RIISA – Orthodox Church Museum of Finland () is a museum located in the city of Kuopio, which specializes in the research, preservation and archiving of the visual and tangible cultural heritage of the Finnish Orthodox Church.

History
The museum was founded in 1957 though its origins can be dated to the Collection of Ancient Objects founded in 1911 which was located in the Valamo Monastery.  The current museum was founded following the evacuation of Karelian Orthodox parishes and the monasteries of Valamo, Konevsky and Pechenga during the Second World War, after which these regions were annexed by the Soviet Union. The majority of the museum's collections are made up of artifacts that were evacuated during this period.

The evacuated artifacts form one of the most significant collections of Orthodox icons, ecclesiastical items and liturgical textiles in the Western world. Most of the artifacts date from the 18th and 19th centuries, with the oldest pieces dated to the 12th century. Some of the highlights from the collection include gifts from the Russian imperial family, a wooden ladle and pectoral cross that belonged to Saint Arseny of Konevsky and a pair of Georgian-Byzantine gilded enamel miniatures from the 12th century.  Another notable part of the museum's collection is made up of printed and handwritten rare books. The museum also manages a large collection of photographs, blueprints and maps.

RIIISA is located in a building designed by architect Dag Englund which was constructed in 1969.  Before its current location, parts of the collection were exhibited in the cellar of a clergy house in Kuopio.

The first layout of the museum in 1969 was underlining the survival after Second world war and the parishes of the areas annexed to Soviet Union. In 2015, the space was opened refurbished with new basic exhibition, covering the entire arch from Byzantium to modern-day orthodoxes in Finland.

Themes of the new displays include a chapel in Karelia, tradition of icon painting,  Collection of Ancient Objects from Valamo, orthodox sacraments, calendar year of the church and resurrection.

title: St. Maria Angelica

text:
The Parish Church of St. Maria Angelica in Hanover, Germany, is the church of the Old Catholic Parish of Hanover/Southern Lower Saxony (Pfarrgemeinde Hannover/Niedersachsen-Süd). The church, which has been in use since 2010 and was consecrated on 3 September 2011, is located on a property that originally belonged to the neighbouring Lutheran parish of St. James (Jakobikirche). The land was purchased in 2003 by the Old Catholic parish.

History

Background

Until 2007, the parish was a guest in churches of various other parishes and denominations, then in the chapel of the Annastift hospital. Between 2007 and 2010, the parish held its services in its new parish hall. The building of the church was begun with the laying of the cornerstone on 30 August 2009; the first service held in the church was the Easter Vigil in 2010. Since then, the parish has held its regular services there. The church was designed, planned and built by the architecture firm Amberge und Schwartze Architekten GmbH. The costs for the construction, as well as for an expansion of the existing parish hall and rectory, were originally estimated at €500,000; in the end it cost roughly €1 million and was financed with the parish’s own capital, additional capital from the Catholic Diocese of the Old Catholics in Germany, donations from other parishes in the diocese, and donations from the general public.

Name and consecration
On 23 May 2011, the parish assembly discussed a patron saint for the parish and church building. A vote was taken and Angélique Arnauld was chosen as patron. The consecration and dedication took place on 3 September 2011. On 30 January 2013, the parish vestry decided the final form of the name would be St. Maria Angelica, using the Latin form of her name.

Church building

Architecture

The church building is in a modern and simple design, yet is clearly based on the traditional design of churches in western Europe. It is an aisleless or hall church in tent form. It has the first full-immersion baptismal pool in the Old Catholic diocese in Germany, situated at the west end of the church’s nave. The church, in accordance with tradition, faces the east. Because the east side of the church faces the street, the church is entered via the parish hall. The sanctuary or chancel, which faces east in the direction of the rising sun, is indirectly flooded by light from the sides. The peak of the roof has a row of windows that look up to the heavens. The church can hold up to ca. 100 visitors, with additional space on the choir gallery for another 20.

The interior is defined above all by the staggered windows in the chancel, but also by the ceiling, which is designed like an abstract starry sky, with Greek cross-shaped “stars” covered in gold leaf. This decoration is an echo of traditional church architecture, as a reminder of the promise of God to Abraham that his people would be as numerous as the stars in the night sky ().

Bells
The church has a flèche with two bells. One of the bells, with a strike note of e2, was donated by the neighbouring Lutheran parish of St. James (Jakobikirche); the second, with a strike note of g2, was cast by order of the parish at the Glockengießerei Rudolf Perner in Passau. In May 2011, the parish had collected the necessary €7000 in donations for the second bell and for the installation of both bells in the flèche, so that it was able to place the order. On 18 November 2011, the bells were consecrated by German Old Catholic Bishop Matthias Ring. They rang for the first time during the Christmas Eve midnight Mass in 2011.

Altar

The original version of the altar was finished in Holy Week 2005 and was used in the parish hall’s temporary chapel for celebrating the Eucharist until the church was completed. It was designed by parish vestry member John Grantham and built by him together with the parish priest, Oliver Kaiser. A second version of the altar with the same design was built for the church consecration in 2011 and was consecrated along with the church by Bishop Matthias Ring.

The altar is filled with numerological symbolism. The five legs represent the Stigmata of Jesus Christ and are arranged in the form of a Greek cross. The outer dimensions form a cube, which is the simplest representation of three dimensions, three referring to the Holy Trinity and to the unity of God. Viewed from any side, the legs and top form a tau cross or T-cross. The mensa or top of the altar is composed of four groups of three blocks of wood each: Three stands for the Trinity and thus God and Heaven, four for the Earth (the four winds, four cardinal directions, four corners of the world, etc.). Three times four – thus connecting Heaven and Earth, God and man — makes twelve, the number of the Apostles, Twelve Tribes of Israel, and twelve gates of the New Jerusalem. In the middle of the mensa, surrounding the 12 blocks, is a cross made of three blocks of wood, which in turn is surrounded by a box made of four blocks of wood forming a cross potent, for a total of seven – the number of the Messiah.

title: Judit Kormos

text:
Judit Kormos () (born 1970) is a Hungarian-born British linguist. She is a professor and the Director of Studies for the MA TESOL Distance programme at the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University, United Kingdom. She is renowned for her work on motivation in second language learning, and self-regulation in second language writing. Her current interest is in dyslexia in second language learning.

Career
Kormos graduated at the School of English and American Studies of the Faculty of Humanities of the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary in 1994. Kormos gained her PhD at the Eötvös Loránd University in 1999. Her PhD was supervised by Zoltán Dörnyei. Kormos took up a lecturer position at the Lancaster University in 2008. and was promoted to a Readership in 2012. She chose to be called Reader in Second Language Acquisition. On 8 January 2015, Kormos was awarded a personal chair. Her title became "Professor of Second Language Acquisition".

She is the coordinator of the Dyslexia For Teachers Of English Foreign Language Project, funded by the European Commission. Since 2011, she has been a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Second Language Writing. She has been an Editor of Special Thematic Issues and Associate Journal Editor of the Language Learning.

In 2012, Kormos was interviewed by the Hungarian television channel ATV on recent changes in foreign language teaching policies in Hungary. She emphasised the important role of teaching students to learn foreign languages independently and autonomously with the help of modern technological tools. On 21 May 2014, Pearson Education released a new video lecture series on dyslexia and foreign language learning on YouTube. Kormos features in the first video of the series and discusses the psychological effects of dyslexia on the processes of foreign language learning.

In 2014, Kormos together with a European team from five partner countries won the ELTons award of the British Council in the Excellence in Course Innovation category.

Research
On 20 June 2014, she was cited in the Education webpage of the Guardian in a recent article on teaching languages to students with disabilities. She said that teaching methods and materials need to be adapted for dyslexic students, instead of taking them out of second language classes. Dyslexic students are able to acquire another language successfully and they have to be provided a chance. The teacher should be aware of the dyslexia and teach a bit differently. For example, teachers should include more visual materials, act things out and explain things slightly more explicitly than they would to other students. Some learners are more receptive to audio channels of learning, others to visual. Therefore, using a combination of the two may be really effective.

title: Shapell Manuscript Foundation

text:
The Shapell Manuscript Foundation (SMF) is a non-profit independent educational organization dedicated to research and the collection of historical documents and original manuscripts. The Foundation focuses on the histories of the United States and the Holy Land,  with emphasis on the people and events of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Collection

The Shapell Manuscript Collection is a private holding of primary source documents  relating to various events and historical figures in American, Jewish, and Holy Land history. Included in the Collection are signed documents, photographs and rare books. It is particularly rich with items from the Civil War era, Mark Twain, Albert Einstein, and many other historical figures.  Among the many noteworthy items are exceptional letters written by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy.

Website
The Shapell Manuscript Foundation's website offers a large digitized selection of the Collection online for public viewing and research. The online Collection is continuously expanding its offerings of primary source documents and historical artifacts as the digitization process continues.

Shapell Roster Project

The Shapell Roster Project is the ongoing research of Jewish Civil War soldiers and their stories.  As part of the Foundation's contribution to the Civil War Sesquicentennial Celebration, the Shapell Manuscript Foundation is preparing a new roster of Jewish Civil War soldiers. The Roster is based on a parallel section in Simon Wolf's book, The American Jew as Soldier, Patriot and Citizen, (1895), but uses modern research tools and technology to expand and correct the almost 120-year-old roster.

In addition, the Roster provides documentation (letters, photographs and official documents) for each soldier in the list. At the completion of the project all information and documents will be available online as well as be available in book form. The Union section of The Shapell Roster was made public and published online in 2022. The Confederate data is expected to be released by 2025.

Jewish American Historical Research
In addition to a general focus on the historic manuscripts of universally recognized world-renowned individuals, the foundation's collection frequently relates to the history of American Jewish life. The collected manuscripts explore such topics as the lives of Jewish soldiers during the American Civil War and other topics which bring light to bear on the role of American Jews on the general society around them.

Exhibitions

The documents and artifacts in the Foundation's holdings have been on display at various exhibitions internationally.  While the Foundation produces its own exhibitions, it also serves as a resource for other institutions' research efforts and exhibitions. The Foundation has collaborated with various historical institutes by creating and enhancing exhibitions with items on loan, and by contributing original research.

The Foundation regularly exhibits at the National Library of Israel at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.  The administrative offices are located in the United States and Israel.

SMF loaned items to the Library of Congress for the traveling exhibition "With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition."   The exhibition toured from February 2009 until April 2011 and included letters written by Lincoln, signed portraits and more.

From December 2010 to March 2013 SMF collaborated on the joint exhibition at  the National Library of Israel for the exhibit: "Dreamland: American Travelers to the Holy Land in the 19th Century." A sequel to that exhibition, "Dreams and Diplomacy in the Holy Land: American Consuls in Jerusalem in the 19th Century," opened in March 2013 and closed March, 2016.

The Smithsonian National Museum of American History exhibited several documents on loan from SMF at the exhibition: "Changing America: The Emancipation Proclamation, 1863, and the March on Washington, 1963" held from December 2012 until September 2013.

In 2015, SMF presented "With Firmness in the Right: Lincoln and the Jews" in collaboration with the New-York Historical Society and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The exhibition was produced in conjunction with the publication of the book, Lincoln and the Jews: A History, which contains original research and was co-authored by Professor Jonathan D. Sarna.

title: Joep van Lieshout

text:
Joep van Lieshout (born 1963), is a Dutch artist and sculptor born in Ravenstein, Netherlands, and founder of Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL).

Life and work
Van Lieshout received his formal education and training from the Academy of Modern Art in Rotterdam (1980–1985), Ateliers '63 in Haarlem (1985–1987), and from the Villa Arson in Nice, France (1987).

In 1995 Van Lieshout formed the Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL) studio group in Rotterdam, Netherlands, where the company continues to design and fabricate their widely exhibited works. Atelier Van Lieshout has attained international recognition for objects-based projects that balance on the boundary between art, architecture and design.

Recurring themes in the work of AVL include self-sufficiency, power, politics, and the more classical themes of life and death. The name Atelier Van Lieshout emphasizes the fact that, although Joep van Lieshout founded and leads the collective, the work produced stems from the creative impulses of the entire team.

Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL) is the studio of sculptor Joep van Lieshout founded in 1995 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, where the company continues to create and fabricate their widely exhibited works. The name Atelier Van Lieshout emphasizes the fact that, although Joep van Lieshout founded and leads the studio, the work produced stems from the creative impulses of the entire team.

Recurring themes in the work of Atelier Van Lieshout include self-sufficiency, power, politics, and the more classical themes of life and death. Atelier Van Lieshout has attained international recognition for objects-based projects that balance on the boundary between art, architecture and design.

Concept development
Atelier Van Lieshout's most relevant recurring themes are domestication, politics, complex functioning systems, and the re-contextualization of familiar, domestic objects.  The Atelier van Lieshout claims to make no distinction between "real artworks" and "just building something for someone."

Many projects by Atelier Van Lieshout include livable "houses" each with their own "theme", such as the "Mobile Home for Kröller Müller" (1995), "Autocrat" (1997), Dynamo (2010) or Drop Hammer House (2018), with special functions and the according materials and furniture elements.

Joep van Lieshout focuses on creating artworks whose design principles challenge conventional ideas of utility and functionality by reinventing how the viewer perceives or approaches an object and the environment in which it is placed.  This is achieved by the implementation of non-traditional materials and color palettes, odd or unusual subject matter, and through the strategic positioning or locale of the artwork.

For example, in the 2010 public artwork Funky Bones it is impossible to see in its entirety except at a distance, preferably from above. Moving close enough to actually interact with it produces an entirely different perspective.

AVL-Ville
AVL-Ville is the Free State of Atelier Van Lieshout in the Rotterdam harbour during the Rotterdam Cultural Capital year 2001. Originally designed as a place for experiments and inventions for the city of Almere. After Almere rejected the proposal Atelier Van Lieshout decided to realize its pioneer city on own property in the Rotterdam harbour.

The Autocrat and Workshop for Weapons & Bombs found a home along with new works like the Pioneer Set and AVL Transport.

AVL-Ville also created its own flag, its own constitution and its own currency.

Domestikator Louvre controversy
In October 2017, an AVL work titled "Domestikator" (2015) was scheduled for inclusion in the exhibition Hors Les Murs, (Foire Internationale d'Art Contemperain's outdoor program of architectural projects, sculptures, performances, and sound pieces that runs concurrently to the fair) held in the Tuileries Garden at the Louvre in Paris. On 17 October 2017 the President of the Louvre, Jean-Luc Martinez pulled the work from the exhibition, on the grounds that the piece, in which two interlocking buildings appear to be engaged in a sexual act, would have been displayed near a playground.  The work was instead displayed by the Centre Georges Pompidou in the front square outside of that art institution for a simultaneous run.

title: Calliope River Historical Village

text:
The Calliope River Historical Village is an open-air museum at 50951 Bruce Highway (on the side road known as Old Bruce Highway) beside the Calliope River in River Ranch in the Gladstone Region, Queensland, Australia. It is operated by the Port Curtis Historical Society.

History
The centenary celebrations of the Shire of Calliope in 1979 created a collection of historic material, which led to the establishment of the Port Curtis Historical Society. As a new bridge was being constructed for the Bruce Highway to cross the Calliope River, the diversion of the highway to the new bridge created a parcel of land that the shire proposed to use as a historical village. Following site works, the village commenced operation in 1983 with the arrival of the first building, the Ambrose railway station.

Collection

The museum comprises a number of historic buildings from the district which have been relocated to the historical village. Many of the buildings contain exhibits of everyday life and railway history.

The Raglan Memorial Hall was built in about 1932 and was used for dances until 1990, after which it stood idle. It was relocated to the village in March 2002 and officially re-opened by George Creed, the mayor of Calliope Shire.

Yarwun railway station was relocated to the village and was re-opened in June 2003 as the ticket office and kiosk.

A wooden railway carriage (No. 1353) was built in Ipswich in the early 1940s. It was used on many routes including the Sunshine Mail that ran from Brisbane to Cairns (which was superseded by the Sunlander in the 1960s). Having become surplus to requirements for passenger transport, Queensland Rail had it transported to the village on 1 June 1989 where it serves as a tourist information centre.

Historical survey monument
Although not part of the historical village, immediately outside its entrance is one of the Q150 historical survey makers placed by the  Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute in 2009. This monument commemorates Francis Peter MacCabe, the first surveyor of Gladstone. MacCabe was appointed by the Government of New South Wales to take a surveying party to the Port Curtis area to establish a settlement in 1853.

He achieved top six finishes in the 74-kg division at the Asian Games (1998 and 2002), produced a stark tally of four medals (one silver and three bronze) at the Asian Wrestling Championships, and also represented his nation India at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Before his sporting career ended in 2006, Maan trained full-time for Guru Hanuman Wrestling Club in his native New Delhi, under his coach and mentor Maha Singhrao.

Maan made his senior sporting debut at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand, where he placed fourth in the men's welterweight class (69 kg), losing out to Japan's Ryusaburo Katsu by a tough 2–3 verdict. Determined to return to the sporting scene, Maan continued to blossom his wrestling career by collecting three bronze medals in the same class at the Asian Wrestling Championships since 1999, until he delivered his stellar performance with a silver in 2004. He also entered the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea as one of the heavy medal favorites in the middleweight category, but left empty-handed with a sixth-place finish.

He won a gold medal at the 2003 Commonwealth Wrestling Championships help in London, Ontario, Canada. He was awarded the Best Wrestler Award at the 2003 Commonwealth Wrestling Championships for outscoring all his opponents 10-0. At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Maan qualified for his first Indian squad in the men's 74 kg class. Earlier in the process, he clinched the eighth spot at the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in New York City, New York, and then confirmed his berth on the Indian team by placing second from the Asian Championships in Tehran, Iran. At the 2004 Olympics he lost two straight matches each to Japan's Kunihiko Obata (8–0) and Cuba's Iván Fundora (6–0) by an identical margin, leaving him on the bottom of the prelim pool and placing eighteenth in the final standings. He played his last competition at 2006 World Wrestling Championships at 84 kg, where he lost his first bout, placing 21st in the competition.
He is currently the personal coach of Tokyo Olympics Bronze medallist Bajrang Punia.

title: Samuel Siegel

text:
Samuel Siegel (born 1875, Des Moines, Iowa — died January 14, 1948, Los Angeles, California) was an American mandolin virtuoso and composer who played mandolin on 29 records for Victor Records, including 9 pieces of his own composition and two that he arranged. Siegel was the first mandolinist to record on Emile Berliner's phonograph disk-records. He was labeled "America's Greatest Mandoline Virtuoso" and "The King of the Mandolin" in the May 1900 Banjo World.

Siegel performed both in vaudeville, as well as in concert halls. He had no formal training in music, but saw that the mandolin needed original music, rather than relying on the transcribed violin music. His compositions and arrangements were well known in his day.

He was the author of Siegel's Special Mandolin Studies, published by Joseph W. Stern & Co., 1901, in which he covered left-hand Pizzicato and harmonic duo style.

Recording partners
Siegel recorded with Roy Butin in 1908 on four Victor records, the tunes: Southern Fantasy, Estellita Waltz, American Valor March, and In Fairyland.

He recorded Edison Diamond Disk record Ragtime Echoes in 1918 with Marie Caveny, with her on ukulele, and also Dance, Mouse Dance, and Medley. Marie and her husband James Frank Caveny lived with Siegel as lodgers in Chicago during the 1910 United States Census. They were performers or lecturers in the Lyceum movement. James Franklin was a cartoonist and Marie sang soprano in their performance.

title: BIG6 European Football League

text:
The BIG6 European Football League (BIG6) was a European Cup style tournament for European American football teams. Originally organized by the EFAF (European Federation of American Football), the tournament had been run by the German Football League International since 2015. The final game of the BIG6 was called the EFL Bowl from 2014-2018. Previously the final game of the European Football League was called the Eurobowl and had been held annually since 1986 to 2014.

History

In 2014, the newly created BIG6 European Football League was introduced as the new top-tier competition  of American football in Europe, replacing the old European Football League (EFL). The EFL continued to be played as a second-tier competition, with its teams now playing for the newly created EFL Bowl trophy instead of the Eurobowl.

The BIG6 initially consisted of three teams from Germany, two from Austria and one from Switzerland, the clubs being Berlin Adler, New Yorker Lions, Dresden Monarchs, Raiffeisen Vikings Vienna, Swarco Raiders Tirol and the Calanda Broncos. The Berlin Adler became inaugural BIG6 champions, defeating fellow German club New Yorker Lions 20–17 in Eurobowl XXVIII.

For the 2015 season, Dresden and the Calanda Broncos were replaced by the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns (Germany) and the La Courneuve Flash (France), making La Courneuve the first team from outside of German-speaking Europe to enter the competition. In Eurobowl XXIX, the New Yorker Lions defeated fellow German club Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns 24–14.

For the 2016 season, the Flash were replaced by fellow French club Aix-en-Provence Argonautes. The 2016 season saw the first time that a non-German team survived the group stage when the Swarco Raiders Tirol knocked out the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns in the last group match to advance to Eurobowl XXX against the New Yorker Lions. In the final in Innsbruck, the Lions defeated the Raiders 35–21.

Before the 2017 season, both Austrian clubs left the BIG6. Aside from founding members New Yorker Lions, the league's management invited the Amsterdam Crusaders (Netherlands), the Carlstad Crusaders (Sweden), the Frankfurt Universe (Germany), the Milano Seamen (Italy) and one team from Berlin (either founding members Berlin Adler or the Berlin Rebels) to join the league for the new season. However, Carlstad's participation was vetoed by the Swedish American Football Federation. On 1 February 2017, it was announced that the Amsterdam Crusaders, the Badalona Dracs (Spain), the Berlin Rebels, the Frankfurt Universe, the Milano Seamen and the New Yorker Lions would be the six teams to compete in the 2017 BIG6 European Football League. From 2017 on, the last placed team of the BIG6 may have to play a relegation game against the winners of the EFL Bowl, and be relegated to the EFL if they lose. So far, this rule was never applied.

For the 2018 season, which was the league's last, the BIG6 was reduced to four teams.

title: A Change of Skin

text:
A Change of Skin (Spanish: Cambio de piel) is a 1967 novel written by Carlos Fuentes about a Mexican writer and his Jewish American wife.

Plot
This is the story about a frustrated Mexican writer named Javier, and his Jewish American wife, Elizabeth. The couple is making their way from Mexico City to Veracruz for a vacation. A man named Franz (a Czechoslovakian who helped construct the Nazi concentration camp, Theresienstadt and thereafter fled to Mexico) is with them, along with his young Mexican mistress, Isabel.

Once the two couples have left Mexico, they visit the pre-Columbian ruins at Xochicalco and then the pyramids at Cholula. Their car is sabotaged, forcing them to spend the night in Cholula. There they are joined by the ubiquitous Narrator, who is also en route to Cholula, just to complicate matters even more.

Acclaim for the book
 "At any rate, politically objectionable or not, Fuentes has written a challenging and interesting, if occasionally silly and pretentious, book." -David Gallagher, The New York Times
 "defines existentially a collective Mexican consciousness by exploring and reinterpreting the country’s myths." -Encyclopædia Britannica
 "...human history is envisioned as an obsessively repeated mythic drama or cycle." -Edith Grossman, "Myth and Madness in Carlos Fuentes' 'A Change of Skin'"
 It received the 1967 Premio Biblioteca Breve for best unpublished novel.

title: Irish Life

text:
Irish Life Assurance plc, commonly known as Irish Life, is an Irish life assurance and pensions company. Irish Life has been part of the Great-West Lifeco group of companies since 2013, when the Irish Government sold the business. Prior to 2012, Irish Life was part of Permanent TSB.

History
The Irish Life assurance company was created in 1939 with state assistance and concentrated on life assurance and investment products. By 1936, as a result of the Great Depression, many life assurance companies were technically insolvent. The four which merged to form Irish Life (and their dates of incorporation) were the City of Dublin Assurance (1925); Irish Life and General Assurance (1923); Irish National Assurance (1919); and Munster and Leinster Assurance (1929). Later, some British companies shed their Irish operations and merged them into this new company. These were Prudential Assurance, Britannic Assurance, Liverpool Victoria, Pearl Assurance, and Refuge Assurance Company. The 1939 company followed the procedures of the Prudential, its largest component. The intention was to form a new company and then release its shares back on the market. However, other events in 1939 made shares in a life assurance company less attractive. The shares were finally sold in July 1991.

In 1965, Irish Life entered the UK market and competed against its former parent, initially under its own name. Later, it acquired The City of Westminster Assurance. Irish Life and The City of Westminster Assurance closed for new business in the UK in 1996. This 'closed book' was sold to Chesnara for £47.5 million on 5 May 2005.

The Prudential re-entered the Irish market under its own name, then sold their second Irish operation to the Insurance Corporation of Ireland (ICI). Allied Irish Banks took over Insurance Corporation of Ireland. Shortly afterwards, the general insurance company became insolvent. The Insurance Corporation of Ireland Life (ICI Life) was the Life Assurance subsidiary of the Insurance Corporation of Ireland. The Government of Ireland wrote off the debts of Insurance Corporation of Ireland and sold the ICI Life arm as a profitable going concern to Prudential. Prudential Life operated in Ireland until its acquisition by Irish Permanent Building Society. The life office then traded as Progressive Life. In 1999, Irish Life Assurance plc and the Irish Permanent Building Society merged to form the Irish Life and Permanent Group, and the operations of Progressive Life and Irish Life Assurance were merged.

Even though the government had to assist Allied Irish Banks following the debacle of Insurance Corporation of Ireland, they established another life assurance company, called 'Ark Life'.

Irish Life Assurance was never a fully state owned company. In 1939, the minister owned 18% of the shares in the company. In 1947, restructuring and purchase by Minister of Finance of shares held by British life assurance companies resulting in a government holding of 90.25%. In July 1991, these shares were released on the market.

Irish Life Assurance was a founding member of Irish Life & Permanent plc. In March 2012, during the Irish financial crisis, the profitable Irish Life Group was purchased from Permanent TSB by the Irish State for €1.2 billion as part of the recapitalisation of Permanent TSB bank. This ended the association between Irish Life Assurance and PTSB.

In July 2013, Great-West Lifeco of Canada completed its purchase of Irish Life from the Irish State.

Subsidiaries of Irish Life include 'Irish Progressive Services International Ltd' (IPSI), a solution provider working in the Life and Pensions industry.

IPSI are a Third Party Administrator and supported Software provider to European Life Assurance Companies.
