title: Bidet horse

text:
The Bidet was a type of small horse from France, now extinct. It was a landrace developed principally in the area around Brittany, Morvan, Auvergne, Poitou, and Burgundy. It stood about 110–135 centimetres at the withers. Two distinct groups are documented, which were bred in a semi-feral state.

Bidets were first identified in the 15th century. They were used as "jack-of-all-trades" animals, equally suited for riding, farm work and passenger transport. They declined during the 19th century, when railways and better-kept roads pressured horse breeders into specialising their breeds. Despite the animal's disappearance, the name "bidet" survives in several French cultural references.

Etymology and terminology
The term "bidet" first appeared in 1564, used by François Rabelais to describe a small horse. He probably borrowed the word from the Old French "bider", meaning "to trott", itself derived from "rabider", meaning "to run in haste", which was used in the 14th century. According to the Trésor de la langue française, a bidet horse is a "small post horse, stocky and vigorous, ridden by couriers; a small saddle horse or draft horse." The usage of the feminine form "bidette" can also be found in one of Gustave Flaubert's works.

The word "bidet" came to refer to a small saddle horse of the people, of a "genre peu élevé" ("a lowly kind"); thus, this term also came to have a pejorative connotation. Some tillers during the mid-20th century still referred to their workhorses as bidets, but usage of the term has significantly decreased, with "poney" replacing it as the common word.

The plumbing fixture known as the bidet has been referred to by this name since 1739, coming from a metaphor that most likely refers to the straddling position that one must assume while using the bidet.

History
The history of the bidet is associated with the history of commoners and the state. These horses were only valuable for the work they were able to carry out at a low cost. Therefore, the beauty, size, coat color, and sex of the horse were of no importance; only working ability and hardiness were taken into account. The breeding of this type of horse was carried out against the recommendations of the Haras Nationaux (national stud farms), who, in hoping for their eradication, criticized them as "little ugly horses." They were generally raised semi-wild without any true selection process. During antiquity, Brittany and Normandy had small horses, possibly introduced by the Celts during their migrations to Asia. During the 16th century, Normandy was known to have sturdy and heavy bidets, capable of pulling over long distances and serving as stagecoaches or artillery horses.

17th and 18th centuries
During the 17th century, most of the existing bidet horses were located in Brittany. In the following century, they could also be found in Auvergne, Poitou, Morvan, and Burgundy. The regions of Morvan and Auvergne (with Vivarais and Limousin) raised saddle bidets. This type of breeding flourished until the end of the 18th century, when bidets were in high demand by the belligerents of the French Revolution and thus frequently requisitioned by military forces. They were actively sought after by merchants, who sometimes traveled dozens of kilometers to various villages to buy and resell them.

Disappearance
Several hippologists, among them Jacques Mulliez, observe the disappearance of the bidet as having occurred from the 19th century up until the beginning of the 20th century. According to Bernadette Lizet, this type of breeding was abandoned due to a multitude of factors, including improvements in roads (allowing the passage of horse-drawn vehicles), the modernization of agriculture, the digging of canals, and the arrival of the railroad. The bidet's disappearance began in the "breeding countries" where one could find mares, as those fit for the saddle were eliminated in favor of those stronger and bigger horses that were better suited for pulling. The introduction of draft mares in the Bazois region, as documented by surviving sales records, was to the detriment of the cheaper bidets, who were less efficient in pulling. The bidets of Morvan, crossbred with stallions and draft mares, would disappear completely during the second half of the 19th century. In Brenne, the "brennou" pony, a variety of bidet, disappeared with the draining of the region's marshes. Another type of bidet that inhabited the moors and woods near Derval and Blain also disappeared.

During the 1850s, the Breton bidet became much less sought after, at least in the regions of Cornouaille and Morbihan. Around 1859, it was only still used in its place of origin, despite its hardiness and reliability. It was replaced by other Breton draft horses from Léon and Trégor. Small saddle horses, like the Norman merchant's bidet, were derided by many, who were instead in favor of carriage breeds. By the beginning of the 20th century, Breton bidets were "nothing more than a memory." The disappearance was not only physical, for Daniel Roche and Daniel Reytier have also noted a change in the common vocabulary; the word "bidet" was gradually substituted by "poney" (pony), a term imported from English speaking countries during the 1820s and 1830s.

title: Data center network architectures

text:
A data center is a pool of resources (computational, storage, network) interconnected using a communication network. A data center network (DCN) holds a pivotal role in a data center, as it interconnects all of the data center resources together. DCNs need to be scalable and efficient to connect tens or even hundreds of thousands of servers to handle the growing demands of cloud computing. Today's data centers are constrained by the interconnection network.

Types of data center network topologies
Data center networks can be divided into multiple separate categories.

 Fixed topology
 Tree-based
 Basic tree
 Clos network
 VL2
 Fat-tree
 Al-Fares et al.
 Portland
 Hedera
 Recursive
 DCell
 BCube

Types of data center network architectures

Three-tier

The legacy three-tier DCN architecture follows a multi-rooted tree based network topology composed of three layers of network switches, namely access, aggregate, and core layers. The servers in the lowest layers are connected directly to one of the edge layer switches.  The aggregate layer switches interconnect together multiple access layer switches. All of the aggregate layer switches are connected to each other by core layer switches. Core layer switches are also responsible for connecting the data center to the Internet. The three-tier is the common network architecture used in data centers. However, three-tier architecture is unable to handle the growing demand of cloud computing. The higher layers of the three-tier DCN are highly oversubscribed. Moreover, scalability is another major issue in three-tier DCN. Major problems faced by the three-tier architecture include, scalability, fault tolerance, energy efficiency, and cross-sectional bandwidth. The three-tier architecture uses enterprise-level network devices at the higher layers of topology that are very expensive and power hungry.

Fat tree

The fat tree DCN architecture reduces the oversubscription and cross section bandwidth problem faced by the legacy three-tier DCN architecture. Fat tree DCN employs commodity network switches based architecture using Clos topology. The network elements in fat tree topology also follows hierarchical organization of network switches in access, aggregate, and core layers. However, the number of network switches is much larger than the three-tier DCN. The architecture is composed of k pods, where each pod contains, (k/2)2 servers, k/2 access layer switches, and k/2 aggregate layer switches in the topology. The core layers contain (k/2)2 core switches where each of the core switches is connected to one aggregate layer switch in each of the pods. The fat tree topology can offer up to 1:1 oversubscription ratio and full bisection bandwidth, depending on each rack's total bandwidth versus the bandwidth available at the tree's highest levels.  Higher tree branches are typically oversubscribed to their lower branches by a ratio of 1:5, with the problem compounding at the highest tree levels, including up to 1:80 or 1:240, at the highest levels.  The fat tree architecture uses a customized addressing scheme and routing algorithm. The scalability is one of the major issues in fat tree DCN architecture and maximum number of pods is equal to the number of ports in each switch.

DCell

DCell is a server-centric hybrid DCN architecture where one server is directly connected to one server.  A server in the DCell architecture is equipped with multiple network interface cards (NICs). The DCell follows a recursively built hierarchy of cells. A cell0 is the basic unit and building block of DCell topology arranged in multiple levels, where a higher level cell contains multiple lower layer cells. The cell0 is building block of DCell topology, which contains n servers and one commodity network switch. The network switch is only used to connect the server within a cell0. A cell1 contain k=n+1 cell0 cells, and similarly a cell2 contains k * n + 1 dcell1. The DCell is a highly scalable architecture where a four level DCell with only six servers in cell0 can accommodate around 3.26 million servers. Besides very high scalability, the DCell architecture depicts very high structural robustness. However, cross section bandwidth and network latency is a major issue in DCell DCN architecture.

Others
Some of the other well-known DCNs include BCube, Camcube, FiConn, Jelly fish, and Scafida. A qualitative discussion of different DCNs along with benefits and drawbacks associated with each one has been made available.

Challenges
Scalability is one of the foremost challenges to the DCNs. With the advent of cloud paradigm, data centers are required to scale up to hundreds of thousands of nodes. Besides offering immense scalability, the DCNs are also required to deliver high cross-section bandwidth. Current DCN architectures, such as three-tier DCN offer poor cross-section bandwidth and possess very high over-subscription ratio near the root. Fat tree DCN architecture delivers 1:1 oversubscription ratio and high cross section bandwidth, but it suffers from low scalability limited to k=total number of ports in a switch.  DCell offers immense scalability, but it delivers very poor performance under heavy network load and one-to-many traffic patterns.

Performance Analysis of DCNs

A quantitative analysis of the three-tier, fat tree, and DCell architectures for performance comparison (based on throughput and latency) is performed for different network traffic pattern. The fat tree DCN delivers high throughput and low latency as compared to three-tier and DCell. DCell suffers from very low throughput under high network load and one to many traffic patterns. One of the major reasons for DCell's low throughput is very high over subscription ratio on the links that interconnect the highest level cells.

Structural robustness and Connectivity of DCNs

The DCell exhibits very high robustness against random and targeted attacks and retains most of its node in the giant cluster after even 10% of targeted failure. multiple failures whether targeted or random, as compared to the fat tree and three-tier DCNs. One of the major reasons for high robustness and connectivity of the DCell is its multiple connectivity to other nodes that is not found in fat tree or three-tier architectures.

Energy efficiency of DCNs

The concerns about the energy needs and environmental impacts of data centers are intensifying. Energy efficiency is one of the major challenges of today's information and communications technology (ICT) sector. The networking portion of a data center is accounted to consume around 15% of overall cyber energy usage. Around 15.6 billion kWh of energy was utilized solely by the communication infrastructure within the data centers worldwide in 2010. The energy consumption by the network infrastructure within a data center is expected to increase to around 50% in data centers. IEEE 802.3az standard has been standardized in 2011 that make use of adaptive link rate technique for energy efficiency. Moreover, fat tree and DCell architectures use commodity network equipment that is inherently energy efficient. Workload consolidation is also used for energy efficiency by consolidating the workload on few devices to power-off or sleep the idle devices.

title: Island Line Trail

text:
The Island Line Trail, also known as the Colchester Causeway, is a  rail trail located in northwest Vermont. It comprises the Burlington Bike Path (Burlington), Colchester Park (Colchester) and the Allen Point Access Area (South Hero). The trail follows the route of the Island Line railroad, built by the Rutland Railroad in 1901.

There is a  gap in the causeway that allows boat traffic to cross. A donation-based ferry operates in the summer months carrying trail users over the gap.

History

The history of the Rutland Railroad is covered in Robert C. Jones'  "Railroads of Vermont, Volume 2" () and in Jim Shaughnessy's "The Rutland Railroad", Howell-North Books, 1964.

Passenger service on the Rutland's Island Line (and on the entire Rutland RR system) ended after a strike by employees in late June, 1953. A second set of strikes, in 1960 and 1961, brought about the complete closure of the Rutland Railroad. The final trains ran on September 25, 1961. In 1963, the state of Vermont purchased the abandoned, but not torn-up, Rutland Railroad lines from Burlington to Rutland, North Bennington, Hoosick Junction and Bellows Falls, leasing them to the Vermont Railway and the Green Mountain Railroad to resume freight service, but the state chose not to acquire and reopen the Island Line.

There was little on-line traffic left on that portion of the route, and freight for Canada could be routed from Burlington north to Montreal over the somewhat-longer Central Vermont Railway through St. Albans, Vermont. After several years of inactivity, restoring service on the Island Line would have required extensive rebuilding, and renovations of the three swing bridges on the line over various bays of Lake Champlain. Ultimately, all of the swing bridges on the route were removed, but the roadbed on the causeway across the lake survived, as it was heavily built with much use of granite and marble tailings. The alignment along the shores of Lake Champlain from Burlington Union Station north to the causeway was converted to form the Burlington Bike Path, and later took the Island Line name when the causeway was reopened, with a seasonal bike-ferry replacing the swing bridge in the northern portion of the causeway alignment.  Due to a  gap in the causeway, the organization Local Motion operates the Island Line Bike Ferry to shuttle cyclists across the gap.

Recent developments
The trail was closed after Labor Day weekend in 2019 so that nearly $2 million in upgrades and repairs could be made, due to damage caused in May, 2019, when the trail experienced 70 mile-per-hour winds and 7-foot waves.  Trail reopening occurred in May, 2020.

A helicopter crashed into the causeway on July 30, 2021, closing the trail for three hours. The lone pilot escaped the wreckage and was taken to UVM Medical Center with minor to moderate injuries.

title: Baden-Powell's Scout training scheme

text:
Baden-Powell's Scout training scheme was a progressive series of tests for Boy Scouts, in skills which the founder of the Scout Movement believed would be useful in building character and good citizenship.

Background
Robert Baden-Powell tested his ideas on boys' citizenship training in 1907 with an experimental camp on Brownsea Island, and in the following year, published Scouting for Boys in fortnightly instalments. Originally intended as a programme for leaders of other youth organisations to utilise, however independent Scout patrols were formed spontaneously across the United Kingdom. Baden-Powell's response was to establish a structured organisation, including tests for ranks which would enable boys to mark their proficiency in the various Scouting skills.

Scout badges

Tenderfoot Scout
The Tenderfoot Test was the test that a boy, originally aged between 12 and 18 years old, would have to pass before he could make his Scout Promise and become an invested member of the Scout Troop. To become a Tenderfoot, a boy had to prove that he: knew the Scout Law and Promise, knew the Scout sign and salute, knew the composition of, and how to fly the Union Jack, and could tie six specified knots and knew their uses. The Tenderfoot Badge was the Scout fleur-de-lys emblem, embroidered on cloth and worn on the left pocket of the uniform shirt. A small brass badge was provided for wear in a lapel buttonhole when not in uniform.

Second Class Scout
To become a Second Class Scout, a boy had to: have been a Tenderfoot for at least one month, have a knowledge of basic first aid and how to tie bandages, know the Semaphore or Morse code alphabet, follow a track for half a mile within 25 minutes, travel a mile using "Scout's pace" (alternate walking and running) in 12 minutes, build and light a camp fire using only two matches, cook meat and potatoes over an open fire, have at least sixpence in a bank account, and know the sixteen points of the compass. The Second Class Badge was a depiction of a scroll bearing the Scout motto, "Be Prepared". It was worn on the left upper sleeve.

First Class Scout
The tests for a First Class Scout were: swim 50 yards, send and receive a message in Semaphore or Morse at a specified rate of letters per minute, go on a fourteen-mile expedition over two days, by foot, boat or canoe and write a report on returning, know how to deal with a wide range of specified accidents and know the correct first aid techniques to use, using an open fire, know how to cook items from a list that included skinning a rabbit and gutting a fish, also be able to make "damper" (bread cooked in the embers of a fire), know map symbols, draw a sketch map and take a compass bearing, use an axe, estimate distances, area and capacity to within 25% error, and finally train another boy in the Tenderfoot skills so that he passes the test. The First Class Badge was a Scout emblem above the Second Class Badge.

King's Scout

To become a King's Scout, a First Class Scout had to complete four proficiency badges from a specified list that covered core Scouting skills to a high standard.

Later developments
Scouting quickly spread to other countries and territories, both within the British Empire and outside of it. In these countries, Baden-Powell's scheme was adapted to suit local conditions. In the United Kingdom Boy Scouts' Association, there were several amendments to the scheme before it was replaced on the recommendation of the 1966 Advance Party Report, which said that "The worst condemnation of the present training Scheme is the fact that more than half of those who join the Movement never progress beyond the Tenderfoot stage". The proposal for a new three stage scheme in which Scouts could progress rapidly in the early stages was adopted by the Association and began to be implemented in October 1967. A number of Scout Groups that were dissatisfied with this and other restructuring formed the Baden-Powell Scouts' Association in 1970 and continue with an updated version of Baden-Powell's scheme to the present day.

The training scheme of Scouts BSA, although thoroughly adapted and modernised, retains the structure of Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class Scout devised by the founder.

title: Mount Vernon Cemetery (West Boylston, Massachusetts)

text:
Mount Vernon Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Church Street in West Boylston, Massachusetts.  It is actually composed of three separate cemeteries, which were eventually united under municipal ownership in the early decades of the 20th century.  The oldest of them, the Beaman cemetery, dates to c. 1757 and is the town's oldest cemetery.  It was forced to relocate to its present location next to the 1852 Mount Vernon Cemetery by the creation in 1904 of the Wachusett Reservoir; the association which owned the cemetery turned its resources over to the town ten years later.  The Old Burying Ground was established c. 1790, and is the only originally municipal portion of the cemetery.  The 1852 Mount Vernon Cemetery portion is the largest of the three, was designed in the rural cemetery style popular in the mid-19th century, and is where the cemetery's 1891 Holbrook Chapel is located.

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

title: Florida–Kentucky rivalry

text:
The Florida–Kentucky rivalry is a college sports rivalry between the University of Florida Gators and the University of Kentucky Wildcats. The rivalry between these schools, both founding members of the Southeastern Conference, has existed since before the conference's founding. Both teams are historic basketball rivals, both winning multiple national championships and conference championships over the past 100 years. In recent years, the football rivalry between Kentucky and Florida has escalated due to Kentucky breaking a streak of 31 consecutive years where the Florida Gators had beaten them. Despite the lopsidedness of the football series, Kentucky has won four of the last six appearances between the two.

Due to each team enjoying large periods of time of dominance in their respective sports, the two team's fan bases are incredibly hostile towards each other. Examples of this include:

 In 2017, several Kentucky football fans received backlash for displaying a sign making fun of Hurricane Irma. The sign said: “If Hurricane Irma didn’t FUK (sic) you up, CATS will.”
 In their February 2023 men's basketball meeting, an usher at Rupp Arena "Doug the Blue Coat" was fired by the University of Kentucky after showing his middle finger to several Florida Gators' fans. This firing resulted in a Kentucky student-led campaign to have the usher rehired under the hashtag "#FreeDoug."
 During that same game, 3 Florida fans were ejected after grabbing Kentucky guard Cason Wallace.
 In recent years, the University of Kentucky has licensed merchandise with companies that sell clothing that say "Gator Hater" or "Later Gator" on them.
 While this rivalry is predominantly focused on men’s sports, it’s worth noting that in March 2023, a fight broke out between the Kentucky and Florida women’s basketball teams. This fight resulted in 8 ejections.
 In the 2023 meeting between the two football teams, multiple different Florida fans would be ejected from Kroger Field for fighting Kentucky fans.

Men's basketball

In basketball, the two schools are permanent SEC rivals, meaning that they are scheduled to play twice a year in the SEC regular season while they rotate which four of the other 12 SEC teams they will play twice that season. Florida and Kentucky first met in 1927, with Kentucky winning 44–36. The two teams have played 149 times in total, with Kentucky holding a commanding 104-40 lead in the series. Despite Kentucky's lopsided series lead, this rivalry has produced many memorable games, including several match-ups in the SEC Tournament Championship Game (the most recent of which Florida defeated Kentucky 61–60, in 2014). Billy Donovan's arrival to Gainesville increased the competitiveness, with the rivalry placing seventh-best in college basketball on a 2013 ranking by Bleacher Report.[2] In addition, the Gators also hold the distinction of being the only team to ever defeat Kentucky seven straight times.

Kentucky leads the overall series 107–41, and leads the SEC Championship Game series 3–2. However, the rivalry has become much more even lately in the 2000s and 2010s, with Kentucky holding a 24–17 series lead since 2005, and Florida having a 2–1 advantage in the last three SEC Championship Game meetings. Kentucky victories are shaded blue, Florida victories are shaded orange. Games with * denote a meeting in the SEC Tournament, while games with ** denote a meeting in the SEC Tournament Championship Game.

Game results

Football

When the Southeastern Conference split into geographical divisions in 1992, Florida and Kentucky were both placed in the SEC East. This guarantees that both teams play each other every season, which they have done consecutively since 1967. The Gators and Wildcats will meet in 2024 despite the end of SEC divisions after the 2023 season. The two teams have played 74 times, with Florida holding a 53–21 lead in the series. From 1987-2017, Florida won every single game between the two schools. This 31-year streak was the third longest in FBS history, and the longest in the Southeastern Conference's history. Since 2017, the series has become incredibly competitive with a 4–3 split between the two teams with the winning margin being 11.4 points on average.

Former Florida head coach Steve Spurrier was notable for having a particular distain for Kentucky. During his tenure at Florida, he was known for running up the score in non-competitive games. In his 12 years coaching the Gators, Spurrier never lost to Kentucky, winning by an average score of 32.7 points. Spurrier was famous for the comments he made about his opponents (often referred to a "Spurrierisms") but he attacked Kentucky the most. Even after leaving Florida, Steve Spurrier would go out of his way to make comments at Kentucky's expense. In November 2004, Steve Spurrier accepted the head coaching job at the University of South Carolina. In 2006, The South Carolina Gamecocks upset their rival, the Clemson Tigers. In the following week, Clemson would go on to lose to Kentucky in the 2006 Music City Bowl. Following the bowl game, Steve Spurrier said" "We thought we had done something good beating Clemson. And then Kentucky beat 'em."

Notable games

1917: First meeting | Kentucky 52 – Florida 0
The Kentucky Wildcats defeated the Florida Gators 52–0 in the first-ever meeting between the schools. To date, this is Kentucky's largest margin of victory over Florida.

1927: Florida's first win | Florida 27 – Kentucky 6
In the third all-time meeting in series history, the Florida Gators defeated the Kentucky Wildcats by a score of 27–6. This was Florida's first-ever football win over Kentucky.

1951: Bear's bunch make it four in a row | Kentucky 14 – Florida 6
Led by head coach Bear Bryant, the Wildcats defeated the Gators by a score of 14–6 to earn their fourth straight win in the rivalry. The four-game streak is Kentucky's longest in the history of the series. Bryant would leave Kentucky two years later for Texas A&M's head coaching job before ultimately cementing his legacy as one of college football's greatest head coaches at Alabama.

1967: Beginning of the annual series | Florida 28 – Kentucky 12
The Florida Gators defeated the Kentucky Wildcats by a score of 28–12. The Gators and Wildcats have met every year without interruption on the football field since 1967.

1980: Collinsworth's catch | Florida 17 – Kentucky 15
Gators receiver Cris Collinsworth made a tiptoe catch on the sideline that was disputed by Wildcats head coach Fran Curci. The catch helped set up kicker Brian Clark's game-winning 34-yard field goal in the closing seconds to win it for Florida.

1986: Kentucky's last win of the century | Kentucky 10 – Florida 3
The Wildcats' "Wild Tackle 6" defense under head coach Jerry Claiborne held the Gators offense to just 220 total yards and three points as Kentucky won 10–3. The weather was cold and misty throughout the day at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington. This would be the Wildcats last win over the Gators in the 20th century and last until 2018.

1987: The streak begins | Florida 27 – Kentucky 14
Gators wide receiver Stacey Simmons returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown and added a 39–yard touchdown catch from quarterback Kerwin Bell as Florida beat Kentucky by a score of 27–14. This would be the first of Florida's 31 consecutive wins over Kentucky that wouldn't end until 2018.

1993: Wuerffel to Doering | Florida 24 – Kentucky 20
Gators quarterback Danny Wuerffel hit wide receiver Chris Doering with a 28-yard touchdown pass with three seconds remaining as Florida overcame seven turnovers committed in the game to win 24–20, breaking the hearts of the Kentucky faithful who had anxiously hoped for an upset. The seven turnovers forced by the Kentucky defense was a school record. Wuerffel, a redshirt freshman, made his second career start in the 1993 game against the Wildcats. Wuerffel would go on to win the Heisman Trophy in 1996.

1994: "Disaster at every turn" | Florida 73 – Kentucky 7
In the 1994 meeting between Kentucky and Florida, the Gators dominated the Wildcats 73–7. This 66-point rout was the worst defeat in 91 years for the Kentucky Wildcats. When asked about it, Kentucky head coach Bill Curry said: "It was just no contest...It was a disaster at every turn." Florida head coach Steve Spurrier followed up by saying "Obviously it got out of hand there...We didn't really plan on it, but it just worked out that way." Kentucky's season would produce more of the same, with the Wildcats going 1-10. Florida would enjoy a strong season, going 10-2-1 with an eventual loss to Florida State in the Sugar Bowl.

1996: "It proves we're better than Kentucky" | Florida 65 – Kentucky 0
In one of Florida's most dominant games, they beat Kentucky 65–0. Led by star quarterback Tim Couch, Kentucky traveled to Gainesville with hopes of upsetting the #1 ranked team in the country. Kentucky never stood a chance, gaining only 67 yards the entire game. Following the game, Steve Spurrier was asked "What does this victory prove about your team?” He replied: "These sort of games don't prove very much. All it proves is we're better than Kentucky.” Later that season, Kentucky would fire their head coach, Bill Curry. Steve Spurrier would conclude his 1996 season with a national championship, the first in Florida's illustrious history.

1997: Onside kick game | Florida 55 – Kentucky 28
Following the dismissal of Kentucky's Bill Curry, the Wildcats hired Hal Mumme as his replacement. Hal Mumme was a primary architect of the modern Air raid offense, an offense notable for moving at a fast pace and throwing often. Mumme would also be known for his particularly bad defenses. In 1997 meeting between Kentucky and Florida, Kentucky's defense struggled mightily. To prevent the defense from having to play, Kentucky head coach Hal Mumme called for several onside kicks throughout the game. When asked about it after the game, Steve Spurrier remarked: "If I had a defense like Hal Mumme has, I would be trying them on every kickoff." Kentucky would end their 1997 season 5-6, missing a bowl game. Florida would conclude their 1997 season going 10-2, beating Penn State in the Florida Citrus Bowl.

2000: Spurrier runs up the score | Florida 59 – Kentucky 31
In 2000, Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen threw for 360 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Gators. Spurrier responded by refusing to take a knee to end the game. With 1:13 to go in the game, Florida quarterback Rex Grossman threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Florida wide receiver Jabbar Gaffney. Spurrier faced backlash from the Kentucky fanbase, which he responded to by saying: "I guess they're upset about that pass. Well I called it. If there's 1:13 left, would that have been any nicer? They were padding their stats and I decided we were going to pad ours. Because ours were sufferin'. If Kentucky wants to be mad about it, we'll be up in Lexington next year, and they can do something about it then." Kentucky would go on to only win 2 games in the 2000 season. Following the season's conclusion, Kentucky would part ways with head coach Hal Mumme as a result of a recruiting scandal.

2009: Tebow injury | Florida 41 – Kentucky 7

The #1 ranked Florida Gators crushed the Kentucky Wildcats as the defending national champions won by 34 points. Notably, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow entered the game with a respiratory illness. During the game, Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham hit Tebow, knocking him to the ground where he hit his head on a teammate's knee. After hitting the ground, he remained "motionless." He was later helped to the sidelines, where he vomited. He was taken by ambulance to the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center, where he stayed overnight and was diagnosed with a concussion. Tim Tebow would go on to play in Florida's next game two weeks later, and for the remainder of the season which saw Florida beat Cincinnati 51–24 in the Sugar Bowl. Kentucky would also make a bowl appearance, which they would lose to Clemson 21–13. This would be Kentucky head coach Rich Brooks' last Florida–Kentucky game, as he retired following the conclusion of the 2009 season.

2014: Triple overtime thriller | Florida 36 – Kentucky 30
The Florida Gators defeated the Kentucky Wildcats 36–30 in painful fashion as they win in triple overtime. The game was close throughout, but had a controversial overtime frame. In the first frame of overtime, Florida converted on a 4th and 7 for a 9-yard touchdown score. Kentucky argued that Florida didn't start the play in time, and thus should have been penalized. Following the competition of the game, the SEC released a statement regarding the call:

"the conference office reviewed the fourth down play in the first overtime of the Kentucky-Florida game and has determined the officials applied the proper mechanics and guidelines that are in place to determine when a flag should be thrown for delay of game. The back judge is responsible for delay of game calls. The procedure for the back judge is for his eyes to stay on the clock when it nears zero. When the clock hits zero, he immediately looks from the clock to the ball. If the ball is moving, there is no delay of game. If the ball is stationary, a delay of game penalty is called."

As overtime continued, Kentucky missed a crucial 41-yard field goal. Florida followed this up with a 1-yard rushing touchdown to end the game. Florida would finish the season 7-5 with a bowl win over East Carolina. Kentucky would finish 5-7, missing a bowl. This would be Florida head coach Will Muschamp's last Florida–Kentucky game, as he was fired at the end of the 2014 season.

2017: Two blown coverages | Florida 28 – Kentucky 27
The Gators escaped with a 28–27 win in Lexington, overcoming a 13-point fourth quarter deficit to once again break the Wildcats' hearts. Florida took advantage of two blown Kentucky coverages during the game to complete wide open passes to help seal the comeback. The Wildcats still had a chance to win it late, but senior kicker Austin MacGinnis missed a 57-yard field goal as time expired. This would be the last of Florida's 31 consecutive wins over Kentucky dating back to 1987. This would be Florida head coach Jim McElwain's last Florida–Kentucky game, as he and the university administration agreed to part ways amidst on-field struggles and off-field controversies five weeks later.

2018: "The streak is broken!" | Kentucky 27 – Florida 16
By a score of 27–16, the Kentucky Wildcats defeated the Florida Gators for the first time since 1986 (and for the first time in Gainesville since 1979). At that point, it was the longest active streak of one team beating another in FBS. Also notably, this was the first SEC opener Florida has lost since 2004, a 13-year streak. Kentucky put up over 450 offensive yards compared to Florida's 360 as the Wildcats overwhelmed a solid Gators defense. Both teams would go on to have successful seasons, with both teams making a New Year's Six Bowl appearance (Kentucky making the Citrus Bowl and Florida making the Peach Bowl). This was Florida head coach Dan Mullen's first Florida–Kentucky game leading the Gators football program, as he had previously served as the Gators offensive coordinator from 2005–2008 under Urban Meyer.

2021: Field storming | Kentucky 20 – Florida 13

The Kentucky Wildcats defeated the Florida Gators in Lexington for the first time since 1986. The game was notable for the atmosphere at Kroger Field, hosting 61,632 fans that disrupted the Florida offense. Throughout the game, Florida suffered 15 penalties, 8 of which were False Start penalties. The game ended in dramatic fashion with Kentucky holding Florida on 7-straight goal line plays (Florida was able to get another set of downs after a 3rd and Goal Face Mask call against Kentucky). At the completion of the game, Kentucky fans stormed the field. In the following weeks after the game, Florida would continue to struggle, resulting in the firing of head coach Dan Mullen. Despite this, Florida would still make a bowl game, which they would lose. Kentucky would enjoy a successful season, winning 10 games including their bowl game. Mullen lost to Kentucky twice in his four seasons leading the Gators football program.

2022: Kentucky goes back to back | Kentucky 26 – Florida 16
The Wildcats defeated the Gators by a score of 26–16 to earn their second straight win over the Gators. The win marked the first time Kentucky defeated Florida in consecutive meetings since their wins in 1976 and 1977. The 2022 meeting was Florida head coach Billy Napier's first taste of the Florida–Kentucky football rivalry.

2023: Ray Davis's career game | Kentucky 33 – Florida 14
The Kentucky Wildcats blew out the Florida Gators 33–14 in Lexington behind Kentucky running back Ray Davis's career game. In the game, Ray Davis rushed for 280 yards and scored 4-total touchdowns in a historic 33-14 victory for the Wildcats. 280 yards is the third most in Kentucky football history for a single game (behind Moe Williams's 299 yards in 1995 and Lynn Bowden Jr's 284 yards in 2019) and is the most by any single player in this matchup. Notably, this victory was the first time the Kentucky Wildcats had beaten the Florida Gators in three straight meetings since 1949-1951.

title: Janice Atkinson

text:
Janice Ann Atkinson (born 31 August 1962) is a former British politician who was a Member of the European Parliament for the South East England region. She formerly represented the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and later sat as an independent: she was elected in 2014, second on the list for the region behind Nigel Farage.  In March 2015, she was expelled from UKIP for "bringing the party into disrepute" after her chief of staff was recorded trying to fraudulently inflate her expenses.

Political career
Atkinson is a former member of the Conservative Party and ran a marketing business for two decades prior to becoming an MEP.  As Janice Small, she was a press officer for the Conservatives in the south-east during the 2005 general election and in the 2010 general election, she was the Conservative candidate for Batley and Spen, finishing second, 4,406 votes behind Labour incumbent Mike Wood. She was also director of Conservative Action for Electoral Reform.

Atkinson joined UKIP in 2011, citing David Cameron's failure to produce a referendum on European Union membership. As Janice Atkinson-Small she wrote a column for the Daily Mail.

She was selected as the UKIP candidate for Folkestone and Hythe for the 2015 general election, before being expelled from the party and withdrawn as its candidate due to a 'serious financial irregularity'.

On 16 June 2015, it was announced that Atkinson had joined the newly formed far-right group in the European Parliament, Europe of Nations and Freedom (ENF).

Atkinson is an associate of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Atkinson campaigned for Brexit. She also asked Home Secretary Sajid Javid to make it mandatory for the Union Jack to be displayed at ports and airports; Javid refused the request.

Atkinson did not stand in the 2019 European Parliament elections.

Political views

Atkinson's political publications include: Migrant Crime Wave: The EU Cover Up Revealed, Beyond Brussels: Brexit and The New European Patriotism and What Women Want versus The gender, transgender and cultural wars of the West.

In the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing in May 2017, Atkinson called for the reintroduction of the death penalty for those convicted of terrorist crimes.

On 1 March 2018 Atkinson was one of three UK MEPs who voted against a motion to encourage national parliaments to ban "gay conversion therapies".

In August 2018 Atkinson called on Home Secretary Sajid Javid to fly the Union Jack at ports and airports; the request was refused.

Controversies
During the 2014 campaign it emerged that despite Atkinson's claims – and status as a champion of state selective education – her alma mater, Blackheath Bluecoat School, is not and has never been a grammar school.

It was also reported that, before she joined UKIP, Atkinson was dropped from the 2011 alternative vote campaign following a meeting with undecided Conservatives in which she mentioned "her support for elements of" the British National Party's platform. A few days later Atkinson swore at anti-racism campaigners. The incident followed her call for 'abusive' anti-UKIP protestors to be arrested by the police. A photo capturing the moment was widely reported and went viral on social media.
Atkinson, who has described towns in Kent as 'no-go areas' as a result of Eastern European immigration, has defended her position, claiming she marched as part of the Anti-Nazi League in her youth.

In August 2014 she issued an apology after being recorded by a BBC News crew referring to the Thai (or Thai-born) wife of a constituent, who were both UKIP supporters, as "a ting-tong from somewhere", a term used in Thailand for people with mental health problems. The woman and her husband threatened to withdraw from UKIP membership but changed their mind following a personal apology from UKIP leader Nigel Farage. Interviewed on camera later at their home, the woman and her husband said that Atkinson hadn't apologised to them and was quite belligerent. Whilst speaking of Atkinson, Farage said "99% of UKIP members aren't like that and don't hold those views". Atkinson apologised and explained in an interview shortly after that she never meant any malice and the unintended comment was taken out of context.

In December 2014 it was revealed that Atkinson, whose annual salary as an MEP was around £79,000 per year, owed more than £2,000 in unpaid child support. Her ex-husband claimed this had "caused major hardship for her son and for her family". Atkinson was singled out for criticism as she had previously attacked "feckless families" who have more children than they can afford.

Expenses fraud and expulsion from UKIP
On 19 March 2015 Atkinson was suspended from the party following "allegations of a serious financial nature". The Sun published a secret recording in which Atkinson's chief of staff, Christine Hewitt, spoke to a staff member at a restaurant in Margate and asked them for a fraudulent invoice, inflating the bill to over three times the cost of the £950 meal. On the recording Hewett was heard to say "we overcharge them slightly, because that’s the way we repatriate it". The following day the police were reported to be investigating.

On 23 March Atkinson was expelled from UKIP for "bringing the party into disrepute". No legal action was taken against Atkinson, but Hewitt pled guilty to fraud and was given a suspended sentence. Atkinson was cleared of all allegations by the Kent Police and no further action was taken against her.

Personal life
Atkinson was previously married to Steve Small, with whom she had two sons. Small, who was granted custody of the children following their divorce, criticised Atkinson in 2014 for falling behind on her child support payments. She was taken to court twice by the Child Support Agency to force her to pay what she owed.

Her current husband, Simon, is a banker. In March 2019, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer of the tonsils.

title: Supernatural: Bloodlines

text:
Supernatural: Bloodlines was a proposed American television series, before being decided against by The CW for the 2014–15 season. It was set to be a spin-off of Supernatural, with the twentieth episode of the show's ninth season serving as the backdoor pilot. The backdoor pilot was written by Andrew Dabb and directed by Robert Singer. The series was set to explore the "clashing hunter and monster cultures in Chicago".

Production
The existence of a Supernatural spin-off being developed was first made known in an interview with Robert Singer at SDCC 2013. It was later revealed that the spin-off would be centered in Chicago, and focus on clashes between hunters and monsters factions and introduce new characters. The title of the spin-off was officially confirmed by The CW as Supernatural: Tribes on January 29, 2014, the same day the network announced their new pilot slate. Later, descriptions for the characters to be featured in the spin-off were released. On March 8, 2014, it was reported that the project had been renamed Supernatural: Bloodlines. Andrew Dabb looked at several spin-off television series when developing Supernatural: Bloodlines, including The Originals, Angel, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and the NCIS spinoffs.

An episode simply titled "Bloodlines" aired as the twentieth episode of Supernatural's ninth season. Ultimately, the show was not picked up for the 2014–2015 season. While the tenth season was later confirmed to be the main priority of the CW, Jeremy Carver and Eric Kripke later revealed the ongoing development of another spin-off, with a concept dissimilar to that of Bloodlines. Carver later clarified that another potential spin-off's backdoor pilot would air in Supernatural's eleventh season as opposed to the tenth season. Mark Pedowitz eventually clarified Carver's comments by revealing that a spin-off would be discussed in June 2015. As of August 2015, Pedowitz stated there are no current plans for another spin-off attempt but he is still very open to the idea in the future.

title: Peru national football team kit

text:
The Peru national football team kit is the official sportswear used by the association football team organised by the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) to represent Peru in international football friendlies and competitions.

Due to its long history and wide popular appeal, Peru's football kit has become an unofficial national symbol.
The Peru national football team plays in red and white, the country's national colours.

Since 1936, Peru's first-choice kit has been white shirts, white shorts and white socks with a distinctive red "sash" crossing the shirt diagonally from the proper left shoulder to the right hip. This basic scheme has been only slightly altered over the years.

History
Historical records from the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) indicate that, in the early 20th century, when Peruvians and Englishmen played football matches in Callao (Peru's chief seaport), the locals wore red shirts to distinguish themselves from the foreigners. During leisure, British civilian workers and sailors played the sport among themselves and with locals in Callao and other commercial zones throughout South America. In 1924, the FPF also equipped with red sweaters and white shorts the team representing it in a match against the team representing the Uruguayan Football Association—although neither side claimed the teams as their official national squads, sports historian Jaime Pulgar-Vidal Otálora argues that the local spectators understood the Peruvian side, composed of players from Callao and Lima (Peru's capital), to represent their national football team. The FPF intended to present this squad as Peru's official national team at the 1924 South American Championship, which was held in Montevideo to celebrate the Uruguayan national football team's victory at the 1924 Summer Olympics, but internal disputes and economic troubles impeded the Peruvians from traveling to Uruguay for the tournament.

The Peru national football team wore its first official kit at its formal debut in the 1927 South American Championship held in Lima. Peru's kit comprised a white-and-red striped jersey (a thick vertical stripe running down the middle front and back, with two equally-thick vertical stripe on the sides), white shorts, and black socks. Financial difficulties almost impeded Peru from organizing the tournament, but the Peruvian government of Augusto B. Leguía intervened to guarantee the tournament's financial sustainability. Leguía's government promoted the development of football as the country's national pastime, and Peruvian society at the time considered that the president sponsored the local football club Alianza Lima. Peruvian sports historians debate Leguía's personal involvement with football, and with Alianza Lima in particular, but Pulgar-Vidal Otálora points out that it might not be mere coincidence that Peru's first official national football kit nearly identically resembled that of Alianza—its blue-colored stripes and shorts marked the only difference with the national kit. Peru used this kit for six official matches, three at Lima's tournament and three at the 1929 South American Championship held in Buenos Aires.

Peru were compelled to use an alternative design in the 1930 World Cup because Paraguay had already registered a kit with white-and-red striped shirts. The Peruvians instead wore white shirts with a red collar, white shorts and black socks.

For the 1935 South American Championship, a horizontal red stripe was added to the shirt.

The following year, at the Berlin Olympics, the team adopted the red sash design it has retained ever since. According to Pulgar-Vidal Otálora, the idea for the diagonal red stripe came from school matches. More specific alterations

Sponsorship

The Peru national football team has had eight official kit suppliers The first of these, Adidas, began supplying the team's kit in 1978. Peru have since had contracts with Penalty (1981–82), Adidas (1983–85), Calvo Sportwear (1987), Power (1989–91), Diadora (1991–92), local manufacturer Polmer (1993–95), Umbro (1996–97), and Peruvian company Walon Sport (1998–2010). Umbro have produced the team's kit since 2010. Marathon supplied kits since 1 August 2018.

Suppliers

Design

Peru wears as its badge the emblem of the Peruvian Football Federation. The first badge, presented in 1927, had a heater shield design with the country's name and the federation's acronym (FPF). Eight different emblems followed, with the longest-lasting design being the modern French escutcheon form emblazoned in the team's jersey from 1953 until 2014. This design had the Peruvian flag at its base, and either the country's name or the federation's acronym at its top. Since 2014, the badge has a retro-inspired heater shield design, with the entire field comprised by Peru's flag and the federation's acronym, surrounded by a gold-colored frame.

Popularity

Peru's kit has won praise as one of world football's most attractive designs. Christopher Turpin, the executive producer of NPR's All Things Considered news show, lauded the 1970 iteration as "the beautiful game's most beautiful shirt", also describing it as "retro even in 1970". Miles Kohrman, football reporter for The New Republic, commended Peru's kit as "one of soccer's best-kept secrets". Rory Smith, Chief Soccer Correspondent for The New York Times, referred to Peru's 2018 version of the jersey as "a classic" with a nostalgic, fan-pleasing "blood-red sash". The version worn in 1978 came first in a 2010 ESPN list of the "Best World Cup jerseys of all time", described therein as "simple yet strikingly effective".

The Peruvian kit allegedly impressed Malcolm Allison so much that he later introduced kits sporting sashes at Manchester City and Crystal Palace.

During the 2021 Peruvian presidential election, the Popular Force political party candidate Keiko Fujimori wore Peru's national football team jersey during rallies and debates. Some Peru national football team players also took to Twitter to promote the anti-communist message "Wear the Jersey Peru" (Spanish: "Ponte la camiseta Perú"), which implied support for Fujimori. Political analysts consider that the strategic use of the national team's jersey reduced the lead held by Pedro Castillo, the Free Peru political candidate. Castillo condemned what he called the "tarnishing" of the national team's jersey. Sociologist Sandro Venturo also expressed concern at the politicization of the national team's jersey, which he argues "in principle represents all Peruvians" regardless of their political leaning.

title: Jan Matuszyński

text:
Jan Edward Aleksander Matuszyński (Warsaw, 14 December 1808 – 20 April 1842, Paris) was a Polish physician and close friend, in Warsaw and Paris, of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.

Life

Jan Matuszyński's father, Jan Fryderyk Matuszyński (1768–1831), was a physician and surgeon and head of Warsaw's Lutheran Hospital.

Jan Matuszyński, a native of Warsaw, befriended Chopin whilst attending the Warsaw Lyceum, where he was taught by Chopin's father, Nicolas Chopin. Matuszyński came from a musical family; he himself played the flute, and his brother Leopold (1820–93) became an opera tenor and director.

From 1827 Jan studied medicine at the University of Warsaw. During the November 1830–31 Uprising he served as a medic with the Polish forces, in the 5th Mounted Rifles, and won the order of Virtuti Militari.

Following the suppression of the Uprising he went into exile in Germany, eventually graduating in medicine at the University of Tübingen.

Emigrating to Paris in 1834, he for more than two years shared Chopin's apartment in the Chaussée d'Antin and gave him medical advice.

He took a further medical degree in Paris, specializing in physiology, and married a Frenchwoman, Caroline Boquet.

In 1837 he published a treatise, De l'influence du nerf sympathique sur les fonctions des sens (On the Influence of the Sympathetic Nervous System on the Functions of the Senses).

Matuszyński died of tuberculosis. In his last days, Chopin and George Sand cared for him at the rooms they shared in the rue Pigalle. Sand wrote that he "died in our arms after a slow and cruel agony, which caused Chopin as much suffering as if it had been his own.  He [Chopin] was strong, courageous and devoted... but when it was over he was shattered."

Matuszyński was buried in the Cemetery of Montmartre.

The company was founded in 1914 by Middleborough Fire Chief Carlton Maxim, who felt that he could make a better fire engine than the town's recent purchase. By 1920 it was an established manufacturer of fire engines for towns in Massachusetts. From the 1920s through the 1980s it expanded to small but reliable markets in the south, Midwest, west coast, and internationally. In the late 1950s, Maxim, along with Mack and Seagrave, began to build Cab-forward fire trucks, which had originated with the American LaFrance 700 series.
The company became Maxim Motor Division of Seagrave Fire Apparatus on November 30, 1956, and operated as an independent corporation. It was known as Maxim Industries when bought by North Street Associates in 1975. The name was changed back to Maxim Motor Company when owned by David Deane, owner of Springfield Fire Equipment.
It was acquired by Harvey Waite in 1985 and company changed to Maxim Incorporated. Waite took on a partner in the form of Urban Transportation Development Company (UTDC), a subsidiary of Lavalin Ltd., a worldwide engineering company. UTDC bought Waite out in 1988.

On December 9, 1989, it ceased operation due to heavy competition. The main competitor was Ward LaFrance who could sell a Fire pumper for US$50,000 less than the US$180,000 asking price for a Maxim pumper.

In 2009 Maxim was re-established as a brand of custom fire apparatus by Greenwood Emergency Vehicles of North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

A review notes: "Franz Grundheber, the Wozzeck, avails himself of every possible type of vocal expression, even draining every bit of life from his voice when he is trapped in Act II." In 2001 he was awarded the Chilean Critics' Award for International Opera.

title: Broomball Canada

text:
Broomball Canada, formerly the Canadian Broomball Federation (CBF), is the official governing body of the sport of broomball in Canada.

The role of the organization is to provide leadership by promoting and developing broomball and developing and coordinating programs and services designed to meet the needs of the broomball community. The philosophy of the Broomball Canada places the athlete at the heart of the organization.

The annual Canadian membership is around 19,000 registered players with another 15,000 who participate at the recreational level which includes all age groups and schooling levels including elementary school.

The Canadian national broomball teams have competed in every World Broomball Championships since its inception.

Competitive categories

Broomball Canada has four main competitive categories to classify the different sports levels and divisions that are available to all ages.

History

The exact origin of the sport has been difficult to pin point.
Broomball can be traced back to the early 1900s. The sport was played on icy surfaces about the size of today's hockey rinks, surfaces such as lakes, ponds and rivers.
The First Nations peoples are believed to have passed the sport on to the settlers.

In 1961, the Fitness and Amateur Sport Act came into force in Canada whereby the Government of Canada made an official commitment to “encourage, promote and develop fitness and amateur sport in Canada.” A few years later, the Canadian government created two new directorates: Recreation Canada, which was tasked with improving the lifestyle of Canadians, and Sport Canada, which was responsible for developing competitive sport.

The predecessor to Broomball Canada, the Canadian Broomball Federation, was founded in 1976, roughly 10 years after the enactment of the Fitness and Amateur Sport Act. During the 1975 "national broomball tournament" in Montreal, Quebec it was decided that the sport needed a governing body. The members of the Alberta Broomball Association met with representatives of other Canadian provinces and formed what became the Canadian Broomball Federation.

In the 1980s, the organization developed the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) to focus on Canadian youth in the sport.

Current status

Over the past half decade the sport has seen a great decline in participation, evidence of which can be seen in all age categories and levels of competition. Schools are showing less team development in both elementary and high schools in every Canadian province.

At the Canadian Broomball Championships (CBC) there are fewer provinces participating. Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia/New Brunswick (together as Maritimes) currently hold the sport together. The remaining provinces, Alberta, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, and British Columbia, were once big players in the sport but have taken a step back.

The lack of participation has been blamed on lack of leadership at the higher levels of the sport. Additionally, a lack of general awareness and knowledge of the sport in schools across Canada is considered to be another contributing factor. Adding to the problem is that broomball is sometimes confused with ringette and curling. Parents tend to sign their children up for mainstream sports such as ice hockey. Although broomball is more well known in rural areas, it lacks funding to become more popular and achieve growth in urban areas.

Funding
Broomball is recognized as one of the first 6 Canadian heritage sports and thus receives funding from Heritage Canada to the amount of $105,000. The funding is meant to develop and build the sport as it receives little sponsorship from companies, the remaining income to the sport is from membership fees and workshops. To continue to receive funding from Heritage Canada, the broomball federation must continue to actively seek sponsorship from corporate sponsors. While the sport is strongly supported by Heritage Canada it would prefer to reduce dependency in order to more readily finance other initiatives.

title: Frank R. Parker

text:
Frank Ruff Parker III (May 11, 1940 – July 10, 1997) was an American civil rights lawyer and voting rights activist. Beginning in 1981, while working for The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, he directed the Voting Rights Project, where he helped secure from the United States Congress a 25-year extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. During his 12 years as Director of the Voting Rights Project, he launched a program to enforce the guarantees of the Voting Rights Act on a nationwide level through litigation and public education, and was a leader in the five-year struggle to enact the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. In 1990, he authored an award-winning book on the impact of the Voting Rights Act in Mississippi, Black Votes Count: Political Empowerment in Mississippi After 1965.

Early career
Frank Parker began his legal career as a staff attorney in the Office of General Counsel of the United States Commission on Civil Rights from 1966 to 1968. He moved to Jackson, Mississippi, in 1968, working as a staff attorney with the Jackson office of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. He became chief counsel in 1976. He litigated dozens of voting rights and employment discrimination cases in the state of Mississippi.

Parker served as chief counsel or co-counsel in several landmark cases, including, but not limited to, Brooks v. Winter, which resulted in the creation of a majority Black court-ordered congressional district and the election in 1986 of Mike Espy, the first Black member of Congress from Mississippi since Reconstruction; and Connor v. Finch, which resulted in four Black legislators being elected to the Mississippi Legislature in Hinds County in 1975 and a total of 17 Black legislators elected statewide from single member districts in 1979.

In 1978 Parker succeeded Mel Leventhal as counsel for plaintiffs in Loewen et al. v. Turnipseed et al., challenging Mississippi's denial of Mississippi: Conflict and Change, a textbook in Mississippi history intended for use in a required ninth-grade course. Under his leadership, the case was won, a victory that the American Library Association includes among a dozen decisions that underlie Americans' right to read.

When the 1979 Easter flood damaged the campus of Jackson Academy, the racially segregated private school resumed classes in temporary facilities provided by local churches. Jackson Academy was forced to vacate the churches after Parker filed a lawsuit to force the IRS to remove the churches' tax exempt status since the churches were aiding a segregation academy. Parker recalled that he received so many threats of violence that he had to leave Mississippi for several weeks.

Parker served as an associate professor of political science at Tougaloo College from 1975 to 1976. He returned to Washington, D.C., in 1981, working as voting rights director for the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law until 1993. Mr. Parker was a leader in the effort to gain passage of the Voter Registration Act of 1993, the "motor-voter" law.
Parker taught at the District of Columbia School of Law from 1993 to 1995. He taught at American University in 1996 and then accepted an appointment as a visiting professor at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, teaching constitutional law. At the time of his death on July 10, 1997, Parker had accepted an appointment as a visiting law professor at the University of Pittsburgh.

Awards
Parker's book Black Votes Count received numerous awards in 1991, including the Silver Gavel Award from the American Bar Association, the Ralph J. Bunche Award from the American Political Science Association, the V. O. Key Award from the Southern Political Science Association, the McLemore Prize from the Mississippi Historical Society, and the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Human Rights in the United States Outstanding Book Award. Parker was rewarded with an Honorary Black Man of the Year Award in 1970, the Martin Luther King-John F. Kennedy Award from the Mississippi Council on Human Relations in 1974 and the Jackson Branch NAACP Freedom Award in 1975.

Personal life and education

Frank Parker was born May 11, 1940, in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, to Marjorie LeClair Parker and Frank R. Parker Jr. He attended public schools in Steubenville, Ohio, and received his B.A. from Oberlin College. After studies at Oxford University, Parker received an Erwin N. Griswold Scholarship to Harvard Law School, where he obtained his L.L.B. degree in 1966. Married three times, to Virginia Foster Durr, Carolyn Parker, and Ann Burlock Lawver, Parker had four children: Barbara Parker Thornton, Stephanie Parker Weaver, Kevin Parker, and Ian Parker.

Frank Parker died July 10, 1997, from complications due to a ruptured aortic aneurysm.
