In January 2020, she was named in England's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.

On 18 June 2020, Sciver was named in a squad of 24 players to begin training ahead of international women's fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2021, Sciver was named in England's Test and WODI squad as the vice-captain for their home series against India. In the second match of the WODI series, she took the wicket of Shikha Pandey and claimed her 50th wicket in WODIs.

In December 2021, Sciver was named in England's squad for their tour to Australia to contest the Women's Ashes.

text:
The Saline Cemetery is one of the older cemeteries in Drew County, Arkansas.  It is located about  west of Wilmar on Allis Road, near the ghost town of Allis.  The Allis area was settled in 1860, and local residents established the Saline Associate Reform Presbyterian Church the following year, and the cemetery was established on the church grounds.  The oldest inscribed grave dates to 1878, and is that of a member of the Davis family, early settlers whose descendants continue to maintain the cemetery.  A number of the area's early settlers are among the more than 100 graves in the cemetery.

The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Domestic career
Farrant made her Kent senior team debut in 2012, and took 5/9 in the match. She was part of the Kent side that won the 2016 Women's County Championship after winning seven of their eight matches. In that season's match between Kent Women and Staffordshire Women, Farrant took six wickets for 16 runs.

In 2016, Farrant signed for Southern Vipers ahead of the inaugural Women's Cricket Super League. During the 2018 Women's Cricket Super League, Farrant took a hat-trick for Southern Vipers against Lancashire Thunder. Thunder won the match nevertheless.

title: Beth Langston

text:
Bethany Alicia Langston (born 6 September 1992) is an English cricketer who played six matches for the England women's cricket team: twice in 2013 and four times in 2016. Predominantly a medium-pace bowler, she began her cricket career with Essex in 2009, before moving to Yorkshire in 2016. She also played in the Women's Cricket Super League for both the Loughborough Lightning and the Yorkshire Diamonds.

Life and career
Bethany Alicia Langston was born on 6 September 1992 in Harold Wood, Essex. She attended Hall Mead School, and started playing cricket at Upminster Cricket Club, where her three older brothers played, and her parents were vice presidents. She later joined Loughton Cricket Club, who had a strong women's team. She made her debut for the Essex team in women's county cricket in 2009. Four years later, she was included in a 21-player "England Women's Performance Squad", and was chosen as a member of the England team to take part in the 2013–14 tour of the West Indies. She played in two Women's Twenty20 Internationals during the tour: the only ones of her career. In the first, a tied match, she opened the bowling for England, and took one wicket. In the second, an eight-wicket loss, she bowled four overs without taking a wicket, while conceding 28 runs.

After her tour of the West Indies, Langston suffered a stress fracture in her back, and although she remained a part of the England set-up, she was not selected as part of a squad again until 2015, when she took part in the England women's academy trip to Dubai to face an equivalent Australian team. She was again part of the academy squad the following year, travelling to Sri Lanka to take part in a tri-series against Australia A and Sri Lanka, during which she claimed eight wickets at an average of 17.12. For the 2016 domestic season, Langston switched from Essex to Yorkshire, a move that she explained as allowing her to keep playing top-level cricket: "Unfortunately, Essex had gone down a couple of divisions and I wanted to try and play first-division cricket."

Later that year, Langston was recalled to the England team for the 2016–17 tour of the West Indies: she was initially expected to have to miss the tour due to a broken thumb, but it healed well, and she was included in the squad. Ultimately, Langston did not play during the tour, but retained her place in the squad for the subsequent visit to Sri Lanka. She made her One Day International debut during the first match of the series, taking one wicket during a large win for England. She made all four of her One Day International appearances during that tour, picking up one more wicket. After the conclusion of the series, she was granted a "rookie contract" with England, which the England coach Mark Robinson said allowed them "to financially support players who sit just above the England Women's senior academy squad, but who have not quite hit the level required to win a full central contract."

After spending the 2016–17 season with the Otago Sparks in New Zealand, Langston was named as part of the England squad for the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup. England went on to win the tournament, though Langston did not play. In 2018, after playing two seasons in the Women's Cricket Super League with the Loughborough Lightning, Langston was moved to the Yorkshire Diamonds, in a switch described by the head of the league as helping "to ensure the best balance between the six sides and to maintain a fair and competitive competition". In 2019, Langston's England central contract was not renewed. In 2020 Langston was chosen as part of the Northern Diamonds squad in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. In 2021, she was Northern Diamonds' leading wicket-taker in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, with 13 wickets, as well as playing for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred.

In December 2021, Langston was named in England's A squad for their tour to Australia, with the matches being played alongside the Women's Ashes. In April 2022, she was bought by the Northern Superchargers for the 2022 season of The Hundred.

title: Delaware Run

text:
Delaware Run is a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is  long. It flows through Delaware Township, starting in the Muncy Hills. The watershed has an area of 11.7 square miles in Northumberland and Lycoming Counties. Delaware Run was reached by Europeans as early as 1737 and an area near it settled in 1769 and the community of Dewart is near Delaware Run.

Course
Delaware Run begins in Delaware Township, near the southern edge of the Muncy Hills. It flows southwards and crosses under Pennsylvania Route 54 before making a sharp turn northwest. The course gradually turns from northwest to westwards as the stream picks up two tributaries. It then turns southwest and passes by the community of Dewart and flowing under Pennsylvania Route 405. After passing Pennsylvania Route 405, the stream turns southwards, paralleling the West Branch Susquehanna River, and passes under Pennsylvania Route 44. Shortly after this, the stream reaches its confluence with the West Branch Susquehanna River.

Tributaries
Delaware Run has a large number of unnamed tributaries.

Hydrology
Delaware Run has an average daily load of  of sediment. This load would need to be reduced by 41% to meet the total maximum daily load set by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Out of this daily load, a total of  comes from croplands.  comes from stream banks and  comes from hay or pastures.  of sediment per day comes from low-intensity development and  per day comes from forested lands.  of the daily load comes from unpaved roads and  comes from land considered "in transition" by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.

Most of the lower reaches of Delaware Run and its tributaries are considered impaired by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. However, some of the streams in the upper reaches of the watershed are not considered impaired. The Environmental Protection Agency considers the stream to be impaired by siltation.

Between 1991 and 2011, the average annual rainfall was . The average annual runoff during the same period was .

Geology
The entirety watershed of Delaware Run is in the ridge and valley section of the Appalachian Mountains.

Ninety percent of the rocks in the watershed are sedimentary. These rocks include rocks from the Bloomsburg/Mifflinburg Formation, the Clinton Group, the Hamilton Group, the Onondaga/Old Port Formation, the Trimmers Rock Formation, and the Wills Creek Formation. Five percent of the rocks in the watershed are carbonate rocks, which come from the Keyser/Tonoloway Formation.

The Trimmers Rock Formation largely occurs in the northern part of the Delaware Run watershed. The Hamilton Group occurs in the central part of the watershed. The Onondaga/Old Port Formation occurs south of the Hamilton Group and the Keyser/Tonoloway Formation Undivided occurs south of the Onondaga/Old Port Formation. The Wills Creek Formation, the Bloomsburg/Mifflinburg Formation Undivided, and the Clinton Group occupy a small area in the southwestern part of the watershed. The basal outcrop of the Lower Helderberg Formation is located near the mouth of Delaware Run, although it is hidden under boulders and other debris starting south of the stream.

The Hamilton Group occupies 55% of the Delaware Run watershed and the Trimmers Rock Formation is found in 35%. The Onondaga/Old Port Formation is found in 10% of the watershed and the Keyser/Tonoloway Formation and the Wills Creek Formation each occur in 5% of the watershed. The Bloomsburg/Mifflintown Formation occurs in 4% of the watershed and the Clinton Group is found in 1%.

The main type of soil in the Delaware Run watershed is the Berks-Weikert-Bedington series, which is a silt loam with shale. It mostly is found in the upper reaches of the watershed. The Hagerstown-Edom-Washington series, the Chenango-Pope-Holly series, and the Watson-Berks-Alvira series are also found in the watershed.

The Berks-Weikert-Bedington series occurs in the northern, central, and south-central parts of the Delaware Run watershed. It makes up 60% of the watershed. The Hagerstown-Edom-Washington series, which makes up 17% of the watershed, is found in the southeastern part of the watershed and the Chenango-Pope-Holly series is found in the southwestern part of the watershed. It occurs in 20% of the watershed. The Watson-Berks-Alvira series is found in a small part (3%) of the eastern part of the watershed.

Parts of Delaware Run experience stream bank erosion.

Watershed
The Delaware Run watershed has an area of 11.7 square miles. There are a total of  of streams in the watershed of Delaware Run. One of the major highways in the watershed is Pennsylvania Route 54, which goes through the middle of it. There are also a large number of township roads in the watershed. Fifty-four percent of the land in the watershed is agricultural land and thirty-seven percent is forested land. The remaining nine percent of the land is developed. Most of the forested land is in the northern part of the watershed and much of the developed land is in the southwestern part.

Most of the watershed of Delaware Run is in Delaware Township, Northumberland County, but a small part of it is in Lycoming County.

Going from north to south, Delaware Run is the first significant stream to join the West Branch Susquehanna River in Northumberland County.

History
Europeans reached Delaware Run as early as March 17, 1737. On the aforementioned day, Conrad Weiser, a German, and three Native Americans journeying to Onandago passed by the stream, pausing "within the shadow of the great pines of Delaware Run. On February 3, 1769, Lieutenant Daniel Hunsicker purchased a tract of land a short distance south of the mouth of Delaware Run, near modern-day Watsontown. The first church in Delaware Township was situated on Delaware Run in the middle of the township. It was used until 1870, when a church was built in Watsontown. The community of Dewart was established near Delaware Run.

The Dewart Covered Bridge was a single-span covered bridge with multi-king post trusses and it crossed Delaware Run. It was built in 1882 by Samuel L. Culp and was destroyed on June 22, 1972 by a tropical storm.

Biology

title: Napier Enterprises

text:
Napier Enterprises (Napier Outdoors) is the world's largest developer and distributor of vehicle camping tents.

History
Napier was started by Roman Napieraj and is twin sister Christina Milan in 1990 and initially developed three models, but today the company has expanded to more than eight. “A big part of motocross is camping on-site. Competitors, crew and spectators camp – it’s part of the lifestyle,” he explained. “Well, I’ve always had bad allergies and the closer to the ground I am, the worse it gets. One night, I decided I was going to do something about it. I headed to a Canadian Tire store, I bought some wooden beams, a tarp, and an air mattress and created my own tent in the back of my truck. It worked out so well that I kept putting this makeshift tent up weekend after weekend. People kept commenting on the setup and giving really positive feedback and then one night, it started to rain buckets. Every camper who could grabbed their tent and put it on their truck bed. I knew right there that I had something – a game changer. There was nothing like it on the market at the time.”

Location
The head office is located in St. Catharines, Ontario, with majority of sales coming from the United States.

Manufacturing
Napier's line includes truck tents, which it invented in 1990, along with SUV/CUV tents, a Roof Top Tent and air mattresses.  Napier Enterprises supplies vehicle tents to major North American automotive manufacturers, including General Motors,  Ford, Nissan, Honda, MOPAR, and many others. The vehicle camping tents are also sold by major retailers such as Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas, Canadian Tire, etc. Since 1990, Napier has been changing the way people view camping by reshaping and merging the automotive and camping industries together.

Environmental contributions
For every Napier Backroadz tent sold, a tree is planted through the company's partnership with Trees For The Future It is also partnered with Leave No Trace and Tread Lightly.

title: James Hammond (author)

text:
James Hammond (1710–1742) was an English poet and politician.

Life
Born on 22 May 1710, he was the second son of Anthony Hammond of Somersham Place, Huntingdonshire, who married Jane, only daughter of Sir Walter Clarges. His mother was famous for her wit; the father was  a wit, politician, and spendthrift. Hammond was educated at Westminster School; at about the age of 18 Noel Broxholme, his future brother-in-law, introduced him to Lord Chesterfield. He soon became a member of the clique around Frederick, Prince of Wales: Cobham, Lyttelton, and Pitt.

In 1733 his relative Nicholas Hammond left Hammond £400 a year, and he became attached to the prince's court as an equerry. Through the prince's influence, as Duke of Cornwall, Hammond was returned to parliament on 13 May 1741 as member for . Hammond then fell into bad health, and died at Stowe House in Buckinghamshire on 7 June 1742, while on a visit to Lord Cobham.

Erasmus Lewis was left sole executor, but he declined to act, and Hammond's mother administered the estate.

Works
Hammond wrote elegies, avowed imitations of Tibullus. By popular tradition, which has been doubted, he was in love with Kitty Dashwood, later a bedchamber woman to Queen Charlotte. The volume of poems was entitled Love Elegies by Mr. H——nd. Written in the year 1732. With Preface by the E. of C——d., 1743, in which Chesterfield wrote a tribute. The elegies were included in Samuel Johnson's, Robert Anderson's, and Alexander Chalmers's collections of English poets; and were often republished, for example by Thomas Park in 1805 and George Dyer in 1818.

The poems were mostly inscribed to Neæra or to Delia, but one was in praise of George Grenville, and another was pointedly addressed to Kitty Dashwood, and to this Lady Mary Wortley Montagu wrote an answer, printed in Dodsley's collection, iv. 73–8.

In 1740 Hammond had written a prologue for George Lillo's posthumous tragedy of Elmerick, which was acted at Drury Lane Theatre, and some additional poems by him and references to his compositions were in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1779, 1781, 1786, and 1787.

title: Sheezus

text:
Sheezus is the third studio album by English singer Lily Allen. It was released on 2 May 2014 by Parlophone. The album is Allen's first work since her musical hiatus in 2009, after the release of her second studio album, It's Not Me, It's You (2009). In June 2012, Allen announced that she would be returning to music, revealing that she had been recording a new album and that she would be returning to the use of her professional name.

Sheezus features production from longtime collaborator Greg Kurstin, along with the likes of Shellback, DJ Dahi and Fraser T. Smith. Upon release, Sheezus received generally mixed reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming Allen's second consecutive number-one album.

The album was preceded by the release of two singles. The lead single "Hard out Here" was released on 17 November 2013 and entered the UK Singles Chart at number nine, giving Allen two simultaneous top-10 singles. "Air Balloon" was released as the second single from the album, peaking at number seven on the UK Singles Chart.

Background
Allen released her second album It's Not Me, It's You in 2009, which saw a genre shift to electropop, rather than the ska and reggae influences used in her debut album Alright, Still (2006). The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian Albums Chart and was well received by critics, noting the singer's musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the commercially successful singles "The Fear" and "Fuck You", popular mostly in Europe. Allen and Amy Winehouse were credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed "year of the women" in 2009 that saw five female artists making music of "experimentalism and fearlessness" nominated for the Mercury Prize.
In 2009, Allen announced that she would be taking a hiatus from musical activities. The following year, she opened a fashion rental shop named Lucy in Disguise with her sister Sarah, followed by the 2011 launching of her own record label.

Recording

Allen said in October 2012 that she was in the studio, "throwing shit in the wall and seeing if anything sticks ... It's great to work at my own pace with no commitments other than to make music." In February 2013, she performed live at a Paris fashion show produced by Mark Ronson in what she called her "mumback", and foreshadowed the release of a new album "inspired by her experiences of motherhood" by the end of 2013.

In 2013, Allen revealed that she had begun working on her third studio album. On 20 June 2012, Allen tweeted that she was in the studio working with Greg Kurstin on new music. She changed her professional name from Lily Allen to Lily Rose Cooper. In August 2013 she changed her professional name back to Allen and tweeted new music would be arriving "soon".
Allen confirmed in an interview with BBC Radio 1 on 19 November 2013 that she was to perform at the 2014 Glastonbury Festival. She also revealed that she wrote a song for the album inspired by a Twitter feud with Azealia Banks that happened in summer 2013. Sheezus was predominantly produced by longtime collaborator Greg Kurstin, with whom Allen had worked on her first and second studio albums. Other collaborations came from DJ Dahi, who produced the album's title track, and Shellback, who produced "Air Balloon".

Composition
Sheezus contains a "diverse mix of vibrant pop hooks, snappy commentary and a fearlessly perceptive outlook." Allen's sound, aesthetic, and lyricism on the album has been described as a return to "the same firecracker who turned heads in the mid-'00s with eclectic, post-hip-hop tunes and bullshit-slaying lyrics". The album's opening track "Sheezus" is a "sarcastic pop" song, containing "anti-pop" lyrics that namecheck artists such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Beyoncé and Lorde. "L8 CMMR" is a bubblegum pop and electropop song, whose lyrics describe Allen's obsession with her male lover.
"Air Balloon" is a bubblegum pop song that was described by Billboard as "more of a loopy lullaby than a slice of social commentary", the song contains a toy piano arrangement and creaseless beat. "Our Time" is song built over "synth pop swirls", described as having a "carefree attitude". "Insincerely Yours" is a funk song that contains a "narrative of blunt truths and gutsy celeb culture sneers." The track namechecks models Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn, as well as singer Rita Ora; Allen stated that the song is "not about them, it's about the idea of them—how the media perceive them. It's about how the way  the media perceive them as entities and how that actually has nothing to do with how they are in real life."

"Take My Place" is a song that lyrically is about Allen's first child who she lost through a stillbirth in 2010. "As Long as I Got You" contains a "jittery" harmonica and revolves around the theme of married life and Allen's partying past. "URL Badman" is a response to the controversy surrounding Allen's music video for Hard out Here. Layered over "ironic" dubstep wobbles, the song was described as "an astute slap across the faceless nature of the blogosphere". On "Silver Spoon", Allen lambasts all the critics who continually attribute her success to her privileged upbringing, echoing the "snarky charm" of her previous albums, Alright, Still and It's Not Me, It's You. "Hard out Here" is a "typically outspoken, sweary" synth-pop song. Lyrically, it speaks about "body image pressures and misogyny in the entertainment industry".

Singles
"Hard out Here" was released as the album's lead single on 17 November 2013. Upon release, "Hard out Here" was met with critical acclaim, with critics praising the song's feminist themes. The single debuted at number nine on the UK Singles Chart, selling 30,213 copies in its first week. The song's accompanying music video was a subject of controversy, with Allen accused of being racist for its use of mostly black dancers in an allegedly "disapproving" manner. Allen responded that ethnicity was not a factor in hiring the dancers, and the video was a light-hearted satirical look at objectification of women in modern pop music.

"Air Balloon" premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 13 January 2014, and was released on 20 January 2014 as the second single from the album. The song reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart.

"Our Time" was released as the album's third single on 10 March 2014, peaking at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was serviced to radio in the UK and Italy on 24 March and 14 April, respectively.

"URL Badman" was released on 13 July 2014 as the fourth single from the album.

"As Long as I Got You" was released on 24 August 2014 as the fifth and final single. The music video was filmed at the Glastonbury Festival 2014 and released on 24 July.

Other songs
"Somewhere Only We Know" was released on 10 November 2013 and was used as the John Lewis 2013 Christmas advertisement.

"Sheezus" was released as a promotional single on 22 April 2014. According to Allen, the song was not released as an "official single" due to its use of the word "period".

"L8 CMMR" was used for the television series Girls, and received a lyric video as well. It was also featured in episode 12 of Quantico.

Release and promotion
In December 2013, Allen was announced as one of the newest signees at Warner Bros. Records, following Warner Music Group's acquisition of Parlophone from Universal Music Group in May 2013. In an interview with Graham Norton on The Graham Norton Show on 21 February 2014, Allen confirmed that her third studio album would be titled Sheezus, saying that it is "a little nod to Kanye West", who had released the album Yeezus in 2013. Allen released the album's artwork and track listing on 10 March 2014, the artwork features Allen sitting outside a stately home with Corgis, while the building is engraved with the Latin phrase divide et impera translated to "divide and rule". The same day, Sheezus was made available for pre-order along with the song "Our Time".

On 14 November 2013, Allen made her debut live performance of "Hard out Here" in the YoYos pod at the Red Bull Revolutions in Sound event on the London Eye. During an interview with Graham Norton on The Graham Norton Show on 21 February 2014, Allen performed the album's second single, "Air Balloon". On 24 May 2014, Allen performed "Sheezus", "Hard Out Here", "URL Badman" and "Our Time" as part of her set at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow.

Allen played at Glastonbury Festival on 27 June 2014, where she also recorded a video for "As Long as I Got You". Moreover, to promote the album, Allen embarked on the Sheezus Tour, which took place in Europe, Australia and North America.

Critical reception

Sheezus received mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 60 based on 29 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

In his review for The Guardian, journalist Alexis Petridis said Allen seems timid lyrically and musically inconsistent on an album that is "far from terrible – indeed, in parts it's very sharp". NME magazine's Laura Snapes was more critical and derided the lyrics as egotistical, clichéd, lacking conviction, and plagued by "empty grandstanding, trying to say something about female oppression, but not knowing quite what". Stephen Thomas Erlewine, writing for AllMusic, felt only "Life for Me", "Insincerely Yours", and "URL Badman" showcase Allen's usually sharp songwriting, as "many of these songs falter on their specificity; she's traded incisive commentary for pedantic details paired with music that winds up diminished by her weariness." Stephanie Benson of Spin believed Allen's message in her lyrics about marriage and womanhood are inconsistent with the party themes on other songs: "Her attempt at convincing us she's a loving wife and mother of two, a savvy feminist, and a satirical mastermind mostly comes off as disingenuous."

In a positive review for the Chicago Tribune, Greg Kot argued that Sheezus is a modest but successful pop album that "connects because it's more conversational than confrontational, a personal statement that dabbles in pop rather than trying to embody the pop moment." Andy Gill of The Independent found both the music and themes diverse, which he felt "clinches the album's success, confirming that this is an artist with taste and opinions of her own, not just a schedule and a fanbase to satisfy". Robert Christgau was impressed by how melodic some of the songs are and Allen's take on marriage in her lyrics, writing in his review for Cuepoint: "Even when that bliss devolves into a painful argument, she can put it into song, and though the bite that was her premarital specialty has softened, give her credit—marital bliss is a theme few lyricists sharpen much at all."

Sheezus was placed at number 47 on The Daily Telegraphs list of 2014's best albums. Christgau ranked it 32nd on his year-end list for The Barnes & Noble Review.

Commercial performance
Sheezus debuted atop the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 35,414 copies, becoming Allen's second consecutive number-one album. As of June 2018, it had sold 113,054 copies in the United Kingdom. In the United States, the album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling 17,000 copies in its first week. In Japan, it sold 1,931 copies to enter the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart at number 26. The album debuted at number 23 on the French Albums Chart with 2,300 copies sold in its first week.

After Paul's funeral, Rita confronts Dexter about his involvement in Paul's death, and he admits to having an addiction, which Rita infers to be to drugs. She tells him that he can get help and they will get through it together. LaGuerta shows surprising support for her new boss.  Dexter finally is able to kill Little Chino and finds a new dumping ground.

Production
Filming locations for the episode included Miami, Florida as well as San Pedro (including St. Peter's Catholic Church) and Pasadena, California.

Reception

The episode was positively received. IGN's Eric Goldman gave the episode a rating of 8.4 out of 10, and commented that "subtlety is often not this show's strong point. But overall, this is another interesting episode that does a solid job of looking at Dexter's relationship with various adversaries, past and present [...] and showing how he reacts to their presence in his life." The A.V. Club critic Scott Tobias gave the episode a B+ grade and stated that it "turns into a strong meditation on grief, and the various ways people say goodbye to the flawed souls that have shaped their lives. In other words, it was basically an episode of Six Feet Under, except the deaths here are of unnatural causes."

title: Aidan Connolly

text:
Aidan Charles Patrick Connolly (born 15 August 1995) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Raith Rovers in the Scottish Championship.

Connolly began his career with Queen's Park before joining Dundee United in 2013, and also played for Brechin City on loan. He was released by Dundee United in January 2016, joining Raith Rovers shortly after. He spent two seasons with York City from 2016 to 2018, and one year with Dunfermline Athletic. He has represented Scotland at under-16 and under-19 level.

Early life
Connolly was born in Dundee on 15 August 1995, when his father Paddy Connolly was playing for Dundee United. He attended Williamwood High School in Clarkston, East Renfrewshire.

Club career
Connolly started his career at Queen's Park, progressing through the club's youth system. He made his first-team debut in November 2012 whilst still at school. He was voted Scottish Football League Young Player of the Month for December 2012 after scoring three times since his first appearance.

Together with Queen's Park teammate Andrew Robertson, Connolly signed for Scottish Premiership club Dundee United in June 2013. He was sent out on a one-month loan to Brechin City in September 2013. After returning from Brechin, Connolly made his Dundee United debut as a late substitute in a 3–1 victory over Motherwell. At the start of the following season he signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at the club until 2016. Connolly made his first start and scored his first goal for Dundee United against Hibernian in the Scottish League Cup on 29 October 2014. Retaining his place in the next match against St Mirren, he contributed to all three of United's goals on his first Premiership start.

After making only one starting appearance during the 2015–16 season, Connolly was released from his Dundee United contract by mutual consent on 21 January 2016. The following day, he joined Scottish Championship club Raith Rovers on a contract until the end of 2015–16.

On 28 June 2016, Connolly joined newly relegated National League club York City on a two-year contract, having previously played under manager Jackie McNamara at Dundee United. On 21 May 2017, he came on as a 69th-minute substitute as York beat Macclesfield Town 3–2 at Wembley Stadium in the 2017 FA Trophy Final, scoring the winning goal in the 86th minute after forcing Jon Parkin's shot over the line from centimetres out. Connolly was released by York at the end of 2017–18.

Connolly signed for Scottish Championship club Dunfermline Athletic on 20 June 2018 on a one-year contract. He left the club at the end of his contract and signed for League One club Falkirk under his former Raith manager, Ray McKinnon.

In 2021, Connolly returned to Raith Rovers on a two-year deal. After two successful seasons during which he was a vital player for the team, Connolly signed a new two-year deal in 2023, keeping him with Rovers until 2025.

International career
Connolly made one appearance for the Scotland under-16 team, against Jersey in 2010, and one for the under-19 team, against Latvia in 2013.

title: Aphetae

text:
Aphetae or Aphetai ( or Ἀφέται) was a port of Magnesia in Ancient Thessaly, said to have derived its name from the departure of the Argonauts from it. The Persian fleet occupied the bay of Aphetae, previous to the Battle of Artemisium in 480 BCE, from which Aphetae was distant 80 stadia, according to Herodotus. Modern scholars tentatively place the site of Aphetae in a place called Kato Yeoryios near the modern village of Platania (Πλατανιάς). The modern village of Afetes, at some distance to Kato Yeoryios, was renamed to reflect this ancient port.

title: Taylor Log House and Site

text:
The Taylor Log House and Site is a historic plantation site on Arkanasas Highway 138 in rural Drew County, Arkansas, near the town of Winchester.  Included on the plantation site is the best-preserved dog trot house in Arkansas's Lower Delta region.  The Taylor Log House, a two-story dog trot built out of cypress logs, was built in 1846 by John Martin Taylor, a Kentucky native who established a plantation on the banks of Bayou Bartholomew.  The building was moved, probably in the 1880s.  In addition to the house, the site is believed to include archeologically significant remnants of a wide variety of outbuildings.  The site was the subject of archeological activities in the 1990s.

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

title: Church of the Holy Archangels, Rogoz

text:
The Church of the Holy Archangels () is one of eight Wooden Churches of Maramureş in Romania listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1999. The structure is in the village of Rogoz in the Lăpuș River valley within the mountainous area of northern Transylvania.

History
The church was built in 1633, which is indirectly confirmed by the inscription at the entrance informing visitors about the Tatar raid in 1661. The church survived the last Tatar invasion of 1717 which is referred to on a mural writing which mentions the terrifying year 1717 of the time of the Tatars. In 1883 it was moved from Suciu de Sus to the centre of the village of Rogoz on the site of St. Parasceva, an existing church built in 1701. In 1834 the size of the nave windows was increased. In 1960-1961 a major renovation of the structure was undertaken and the floors were renewed.

Structure
The church is a timber structure built of slabs that are jointed together without the use of metal nails. The wooden walls rest on a base of stone blocks and pebbles. The timber is elm and according to tradition all this wood came from two huge trees from the hill of Dealul Popii.  The roof is of wooden shingles with very wide eaves that overhang the walls. There is a tower at the western end, the usual position in Maramures wooden churches. The tower has a spire and four corner pinnacles, all hung with shingles and surrounded by the sweep of the main roof. The nave is narrow and rectangular, extending to a heptagonal chancel at the eastern end. There is also a polygonal porch. The design combines Orthodox traditions with Gothic influences. Both the interior and exterior have carved wooden architectural details including a twisted rope decoration. There are two windows in the nave and the altar has a small circular window through which the sun's rays penetrate for a period of 30 minutes from 1 to 15 August.

Interior decoration
All the interior walls are painted with murals in bright colours by Nicholas Mann and Radu Munteanu from the village of Ungureni who also produced wall paintings for the church in Deseşti and others in the Lăpuş area. The murals date from 1785 as documented in inscriptions in Cyrillic. The scenes represented are not coherent as some  are missing and some are fragmented. In 1834 the ceiling and nave were repainted by an unidentified artist.

title: US–EEC Businessmen's Conference

text:
The U.S. – E.E.C. Businessmen’s Conference was an outreach initiative of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States which began in November 1970 with a series of exchanges and high-level meetings aimed at reassuring Europe’s business leaders and strengthening trans-Atlantic commercial ties during a period of trade and monetary instability. The turbulence became particularly acute surrounding the August 1971 Nixon Administration decision to decouple the Dollar from gold – a de facto devaluation along with the rise of protectionist sentiment embodied in the Burke-Hartke legislation advanced by American trade unions. After eight months of intense planning and numerous trips to Europe led by Chamber president Archie K. Davis (Chairman of Wachovia Bank) and the Chamber’s international group executive Nicholas E. Hollis, the resultant framework and momentum produced a three-day conference at Versailles outside Paris. The conference convened nearly 100 top industrialists and bankers at the historic Trianon Palace Hotel—and led to the creation of an ongoing organization called the U.S.-E.C. Business Council, as well as laying the foundation for the Trilateral Commission.

Origins

The U.S.-E.E.C. Businessmen’s Conference (US-EC) emerged from a concept paper presented in late 1970 before the Chamber’s International Committee which sparked formation of a special Task Force on US-EEC Trade Relations. Although initial concern centered on EEC expansion and the potential of United Kingdom accession, a positive exchange of letters occurred between the Task Force and officials at the European Communities offices in Washington (approved by Brussels) and encouragement by Nathaniel Samuels (Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs).

Following a Chamber leadership transition, incoming president Archie Davis quickly adopted the US-EC theme in his talking points during a speaking tour of American Chambers of Commerce in Europe. (Note: His predecessor, F. Ritter Shumway,
Chamber president 1970-71, had corresponded with European counterparts in April). As a banker, Davis was comfortable with monetary and investment issues, but shortly after conferring with George Champion (former Chase Manhattan Bank president),
Davis realized he had unwittingly sparked competitive forces when David Rockefeller (Chase’s new chairman) began to show particular interest. Rockefeller, a founder of the Emergency Committee for American Trade (ECAT), considered improving trans-Atlantic economic relations among his priorities, and regarded the Chamber’s international efforts as flat-footed and ineffectual. Perhaps fearing he would be overshadowed and/or outmaneuvered, Davis wrote Secretary of State William P. Rogers to stake out the Chamber’s conference theme on July 2 with copies shown to seven other Nixon cabinet members, as well as a number of sub-cabinet-level officials, including Peter G. Peterson.

Building a steering committee from the heartland

Davis next convened a steering committee to sound out the idea with leading industrialists in Chicago in late July. Encouraged by his host, Borg Warner chief Robert S. Ingersoll, and other leaders around the table (including William Blackie, chairman, Caterpillar Tractor; R.C. Gerstenberg, vice chairman of General Motors; Ian MacGregor, chairman of American Metal Climax; Charles F. Myers, chairman of Burlington Industries; Carl A. Gerstacker, chairman of Dow Chemical; and others), Davis felt he had a mandate, pledging another planning meeting in mid September, after taking further organizational steps in Europe.

European planning

Sensing urgency, on August 1, Davis rushed to Paris to begin assembling an informal counterpart body of European business leaders. He was relying on logistical support from US Ambassador Arthur Watson, but quickly discovered in Watson’s absence that most European (especially French) business leaders are rarely in their offices in August.
Other, more demanding complications began to set in on issues surrounding venue selection, agenda, organizing secretariat for the European side, finances, and the selection process for European participation. By September 15, Davis had been forced to broaden the agenda (to include trade and European Union enlargement) following the August 15 devaluation of the Dollar by the Nixon Administration. Tensions ran high at the next Steering Committee meeting at General Motors offices above Manhattan (September 15). There was even suggestion that the entire effort be scuttled.

Steering committee pressure mounts

Throughout the Fall, as details were hammered out with behind-the-scenes diplomacy, Davis’ idea of an informal “country club” symposium rapidly evolved into a carefully choreographed conference with functional steering committees, working groups and purposeful exchanges. Davis continued to resist pressure to place David Rockefeller in a leading position on monetary affairs—or to accept a widely held recommendation for European secretariat (UNICE in Brussels). But after a rocky November 19 Steering Committee meeting in Washington, with Robert Ingersoll and other members conveying National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger’s pressure for Rockefeller’s inclusion, Davis relented with some trade-offs, and Rockefeller was appeased.

Seeds of trilateral dialogue

In December, Davis hurriedly met with UNICE president Paul Huvelin (also president of the French Patronat - the leading industrial organization). The meeting was strained due to language barriers, but Davis agreed to the Brussels-based UNICE as the European secretariat and graciously offered Chamber underwriting for much of the conference expense. Concessions to Rockefeller later would prove costly, as the wily internationalist took virtual control of the monetary session which sparked a fiery rebuttal from French finance minister (and later president) Valery Giscard d’Estaing, who scolded conferees on the “Dollar Indifference,” claiming short-term capital outflows and dollar inconvertibility posed a threat to the monetary truce in the West. His remarks nearly derailed the cooperative atmosphere of the conference. In the reportage on the conference, Rockefeller received most of the media attention along with some of his ECAT supporters, including Donald Kendall, chairman of Pepsico. A casual read of the New York Times on March 2 and 3 revealed no mention of either the Chamber or its indefatigable president, A.K. Davis. In fact, the news reports implied ECAT had organized the affair, while ignoring a joint communiqué, which paved the way for a three way dialogue including the Japanese business community.

Historic irony at Versailles

Conference plenary sessions were held in the Clemenceau Room – with a twist of historical irony as this was the exact spot where the harsh Treaty of Versailles terms
ending World War I were first read to the German delegation in May 1919 by Allied leaders, including U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. Many historians believe the resultant treaty signed a few days later was a major contributing factor leading to WWII. A gold plaque on the outside door gave evidence of the room’s somber past.

Aftermath

Nonetheless, participants on both sides hailed the conference and its final dinner in the Galerie des Batailles as an “incontestable success.”  Rockefeller wrote Davis that the conference was “very useful” and followed up two days later with a second letter stating more directly, “I want to commend you on putting together an assemblage of European and American businessmen the likes of which I have never seen in one place in Europe”.

A few months later, emboldened by discussions surrounding the ninth annual Japan-U.S. Businessmen’s Conference in San Francisco, March 16–19 (which was also staffed by the Chamber’s International Group), Rockefeller embarked upon forming the Trilateral Commission. The Chamber parried by spearheading a follow-up conference directed at US-EC agricultural trade issues on November 30 – December 1 in Brussels.

Chamber- NAM cooperation opens new channels

In early February 1974, following cooperative discussions between Chamber chief Arch N. Booth, National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) president E. Douglas Kenna, and Commerce Secretary Fred Dent, the two business organizations fielded delegates to support a tripartite conference at Cerromar Beach outside San Juan, Puerto Rico, which included elements of the Japan-U.S Business Council executive committee along with
U.S and European leaders. This conference led to the formal launch of the U.S.-E.C. Businessmen's Council at the Amigo Hotel in Brussels in late October 1974. For his role in staffing the U.S.-E.C. program, Nicholas Hollis received recognition by the European Parliament as a “Young Leader.”

The era of bilateral, trilateral and multilateral business councils was flowering –strengthening economic and cultural ties in a challenging, post “oil shock” world.

title: District of Mitrovica

text:
Mitrovica District (, , Kosovskomitrovački okrug) is one of the unified seven districts of Kosovo. Its administrative center and the largest city is Mitrovica. The district borders on the District of Peja to the south-west, the District of Pristina to the south-east and east, and the Republic of Serbia to the north and northwest.

History

The first human habitations here can be traced back to the Prehistoric period. Some Neolithic sites have been discovered in the Mitrovica District, such as in Runik, Žitkovac-Karagaç, Vallaç and Fafos. This region was populated by Dardanians, an Illyrian tribe that lived in the territory of modern-day Kosovo.
By the end of the 1st century BC, the Romans invaded the region. At the time, one of the most important centres in the region was Municipium Dardanorum, located in Sočanica, Leposavić. Archeological sites from the Roman period were also found in the territory of Vushtrri (Vicianum), for example the ruins in Pestova and the Rashan Fortress.

Following Roman downfall, the Mitrovica was occupied by Byzantium. During the Justinian I period (527-565AD), the Old Fortress in Vučittn was built, which remains the city center today.
By the end of the 9th century, the region of Mitrovica became part of the Bulgarian state of Samuel.
The area was conquered by the Nemanjić dynasty in 1185. During Serbian rule, the region and Kosovo in general became a political and spiritual centre of the kingdom. The Ottomans later conquered the region in the 14th century and stayed until the 17th century. During this Ottoman period, Islam spread and many mosques, Turkish baths, madrasah, bridges and Ottoman houses were built. The cities of Vushtrri, Mitrovica and Zvečan became some of the largest cities in the region, and some of the most important in the Ottoman Empire. In 1912, after the Ottoman capitulation, Serbia acquired the territory of Kosovo. In the first World War, the region was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1915–18), then part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In World War II, Germany conquered most of the territory in the region, while other areas fell to the Italians.
After World War II, the economy grew in the region under Yugoslavia.

Geography

Relief

The terrain of the Mitrovica District is rugged and mountainous, comprising the south portion of Kopaonik mountain on the north-east, with the highest point  Pančić's Peak 2,017 meters above sea level (the northernmost extremity of Kosovo). The mountain ranges of Rogozna and Mokra Gora extend on the north-west by Zubin Potok with the peak of Berim, 1,731 meters (5,679 ft). The northern part of Drenica and Qyqavica mountain occupies the south-west part of region, while in the south east the boundary extends on the Plain of Kosovo. In the center of the region is the Ibar valley, where Mitrovica lies.

Hydrography

Regarding hydrography, Mitrovica District constitutes one of the richest regions in Kosovo. While a mountainous area, there are many small river sources in the region, and two of the most important rivers in Kosovo, Ibar and Sitnica, flow here.
Ibar originates in Rožaje, eastern Montenegro, passes through Sandžak and enters Kosovo by the town of Zubin Potok. Near this town, the river is dammed by the Gazivoda Dam, creating the artificial Lake Gazivode. As the largest lake in Kosovo (area 11.9 km2 or 4.6 sq mi, altitude 693 m or 2,274 ft, depth 105 m or 344 ft), Gazivoda Lake represents one of the most important assets of Kosovo's economy. Below Gazivode, another reservoir is created, Lake Pridvorice. In Mitrovica, the Ibar receives Lushta river and Sitnica, which consist of the longest river in Kosovo. Sitnica passes through the town of Vushtrri what makes an important element for agriculture in this area. In Mitrovica it receives Trepça river which originates from Bajgora mountains, of Kopaonik range.

Demographics

Population

According to the results of 2011 census and Kosovo Agency of Statistics 2008-2009 data for the municipalities with Serbian majority: Zvečan, Leposavić, Zubin Potok and North part of Mitrovica, in this region live approximately 232,833 inhabitants or 13.38% of total population of Kosovo.

Note: North Mitrovica is also included into Mitrovica.

Reception
Orla Madden of Nintendo Life gave the game a mixed review and a score of 5/10. While a fan of the film, Madden criticized the lack of presentation, noting a complete lack of dialogue or storyline. Other criticisms included the repetitive gameplay, lack of humor, and a lack of appearances of other characters from the film such as Anna and Elsa. While saying the game would be fun for younger players, she asserted that older gamers would find little to enjoy in the game.
