The 2014 American League Championship Series was a best-of-seven playoff pitting the Baltimore Orioles against the Kansas City Royals for the American League pennant and the right to play in the 2014 World Series. The Royals won the series four games to zero. The series was the 45th in league history with TBS airing all games in the United States. Even as the Royals swept the series, each game was decided by two runs or fewer.

It was the first-ever postseason meeting between the two teams.  It was the first ALCS since 2005 not to feature the Yankees, Red Sox, or Tigers.

The Royals would go on to lose to the San Francisco Giants in the World Series.

Game summaries

Game 1

The Royals drew first blood in a back-and-forth opener that featured high offensive output from both teams. After hitting just three home runs in the regular season, Alcides Escobar hit a one-out homer to left to give the Royals a 1–0 lead. Later in the inning, with the bases loaded, Alex Gordon hit a broken bat, looping fly ball that dropped just fair inside the right-field line to plate all three runners. Suddenly, it was 4–0 Kansas City. Baltimore got a run back in the bottom of the inning on Adam Jones' RBI-single, but it could have been more had it not been for a great diving catch by Gordon in the left-center field gap, robbing Steven Pearce of a hit. In the bottom of the fifth, after the Royals added a run in the top of the frame, the Orioles finally got to James Shields. Nelson Cruz added to his postseason legacy with an RBI-double and Ryan Flaherty delivered a two-run single to make it a one-run game, 5–4. In the sixth, after a walk to Jonathan Schoop and a flare single to right by Nick Markakis, Alejandro De Aza hit a high chopper past the pitcher's mound that shortstop Escobar had no play on; Schoop scored to tie the game. Jones hit what appeared to be a double play ball, but Mike Moustaskas' relay throw short-hopped first baseman Eric Hosmer and the inning continued to bring up Cruz. He could not deliver the big hit this time as he rolled into an inning-ending double play.

The game turned to the bullpens, generally decided to be a strength for both teams, but in the top of the ninth, Orioles' reliever Zach Britton struggled to find the strike zone, walking the first three batters; at one point, Britton missed with 12 straight pitches. Britton then got out of the jam by getting Hosmer on a force play at home, before Darren O'Day was brought in to pitch, getting Billy Butler to hit into a double play to keep the game tied heading to the bottom of the ninth.

Wade Davis finished a strong outing by striking out the heart of the Orioles' lineup in the bottom of the ninth, and Game 1 was headed to extra innings. Alex Gordon's postseason breakout was complete when his tenth inning fly landed over the top of the high right-field wall to give Kansas City a 6–5 lead, but they weren't done yet. Salvador Pérez reached on a walk, then Moustakas launched his third home run of the playoffs, giving the Royals a three-run lead.

Royals' closer Greg Holland got the first two outs in the bottom of the tenth, but then gave up a single to Flaherty. Pinch-hitter Jimmy Paredes reached on a walk, then Delmon Young delivered a pinch-hit single to make it a two-run game. Holland would then get Markakis to ground out to second, ending the game.

Game 2

The Royals struck first in Game 2 off of Bud Norris when with one out in the first when Nori Aoki singled, Lorenzo Cain doubled, and Eric Hosmer singled to score both runners. In the bottom of the second, Yordano Ventura walked three batters to load the bases for the Orioles before Caleb Joseph's sacrifice fly cut the Royals' lead to 2–1. They get the run back in the third when Cain singled with two outs, moved to third on Hosmer's single and scored on Billy Butler's double. In the bottom of the inning, Alejandro De Aza doubled before Adam Jones's two-run home run tied the game. In the fourth, Mike Moustakas's home run put the Royals back in front 4–3. The Orioles tied it in the fifth when De Aza singled, moved to third on Jones's single, and scored on Nelson Cruz's groundout.

The Kansas City defense continued their postseason run of highlight reel plays in the 6th when Adam Jones led off the inning with what appeared to be (at least) a double to the right-center field gap.  However, Cain made diving catch to retire Jones. Statcast calculated that Cain covered  in 3.65 seconds, reaching a top speed of  on the play.  In the 7th, Cain (now playing in right field) would make another great catch, with the bases loaded, down the right field line to rob J. J. Hardy of at least 2 RBI.

The game stayed tied until the top of the ninth when Omar Infante hit a leadoff single off of Darren O'Day.  Terrance Gore came in to pinch-run for Infante and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt after Zach Britton relieved O'Day, and the speedy runner scored easily on Alcides Escobar's double. After Jarrod Dyson reached on an error, Lorenzo Cain's single made it 6-4 Royals. Greg Holland threw a scoreless bottom of the ninth for his second save of the series. This was the last playoff game to take place at Camden Yards until the 2023 ALDS.

Game 3

The Orioles struck first in Game 3 on back-to-back doubles in the second by Steve Pearce and J. J. Hardy off of Jeremy Guthrie, but that would be the only time they led in the series as four relievers threw four perfect innings. The Royals loaded the bases in the fourth on two singles and a walk off of Wei-Yin Chen before Alex Gordon's groundout tied the game. In the sixth, Nori Aoki hit a leadoff single off of Chen, moved to third on Eric Hosmer's single one out later, and scored on Billy Butler's sacrifice fly. The Royals' 2–1 lead held, with Jason Frasor pitching a perfect 6th, Kelvin Herrera a perfect 7th, Wade Davis a perfect 8th, and Greg Holland a perfect 9th for the save, putting them one win away from the World Series.

The Royals continued their postseason streak of highlight reel defensive plays, this time highlighted by Mike Moustakas.  In the 4th he dove and snagged a hard liner from Steve Pearce for an out, but that play seemed routine compared to his play in the 6th.  Adam Jones popped a ball up in foul territory past 3rd base.  Moustakas gave chase and caught the ball while falling over the railing and into the fan dugout, where the loyal Royals fans caught him to prevent him from landing on his head.

Game 4

In Game 4, the Royals took a 2–0 lead in the first off of Miguel Gonzalez when Alcides Escobar hit a leadoff singled and moved to second on Nori Aoki's hit-by-pitch. Lorenzo Cain's sacrifice bunt (the eventual ALCS MVP's first ever sacrifice bunt) moved both runners a base before Eric Hosmer grounded to first. Baseman Steve Pearce threw the ball to catcher Caleb Joseph, but the ball got away, allowing Escobar and Aoki to score. Though Gonzalez and the Orioles bullpen shut out the Royals for the rest of the game, Jason Vargas and the Kansas City bullpen limited Baltimore to only Ryan Flaherty's home run in the third and four hits. The Royals extended their postseason win streak to 11 games, dating back to Game 5 of the 1985 World Series. This win gave Kansas City its first American League Pennant since 1985 (and third overall, the most of any AL expansion franchise), and for the first time in Major League history, a team won all eight of their first postseason games (the previous record was seven, held by the 2007 Colorado Rockies and the 1976 Cincinnati Reds).

The Kansas City 8-game postseason winning streak wouldn't be complete without a defensive gem, this time provided by multi-time gold-glove left-fielder Alex Gordon.  In the 5th, J. J. Hardy looked to have an extra-base hit deep to left-center field, but Gordon, running full speed, leaped and caught the ball, while crashing into the wall for the out.

Aftermath
The Royals lost the World Series in seven games to the Giants, in a series defined by the dominance of Madison Bumgarner. Bumgarner won twice in the series and held a lead in game seven with a five inning save on 2-days rest. Their disappointment would be short lived as the Royals finished off the job the following season, beating the Mets in the World Series in five games. It was their first World Series victory since 1985.

There would be a bit of bad blood between the two teams in 2015 and 2016, with Yordano Ventura and Manny Machado at the center of it. In a game on September 12, 2015, Ventura hit Machado and Chris Davis with pitches which ultimately just led to words between exchanged between the two teams. Tensions exploded in the fifth inning of a June 7, 2016 game between the Kansas City Royals and the Baltimore Orioles after Ventura hit Manny Machado again with a pitch in the back. This time it led to Machado rushing the mound and getting a few punches in on Ventura before his Royals teammates intervened. Both players were ejected and MLB suspended Ventura for 9 games, while Machado received a 4-game suspension.

The Orioles could not build off their AL Championship Series appearance, as it represented a peak for the franchise under the Buck Showalter-era. They finished with a .500 record in 2015, as they lost the wild card game to Toronto on a walk-off home run by Edwin Encarnación in 2016, and in they finished with a losing record for the first time since 2011 in 2017. Headed into the 2018 season, the Orioles were uncertain whether they were still a contender, in spite of having finished last in the AL East the previous season. On-field results quickly demonstrated that contention was out of the question, as they were instead threatening the franchise record for most losses in a season. With the trading deadline approaching, the front office decided to clean house. In the span of a few days, they traded veteran SS Manny Machado, their lone All-Star, 2B Jonathan Schoop and pitchers Brad Brach, Zach Britton, Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day, netting a total of 17 players in return with only IF Jonathan Villar having any significant major league experience. They also attempted to trade CF Adam Jones, but he vetoed a deal as was his right as a 10-5 player, i.e. one who had ten years of major league experience, including the past five with the same team. The only veterans which the Orioles retained were those who were basically unmovable because of bad contracts, such as underperforming 1B Chris Davis. The Orioles did end up setting a new franchise record for losses in 2018, finishing at 47–115, a whopping 61 games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox. The Orioles next winning record did not come until 2022, when they went 83–79. They did not make the postseason again until the following season when they went 101-61 and won the American League East for the first time since 2014.

title: 2014 American League Division Series

text:
The 2014 American League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series to determine the participating teams in the 2014 American League Championship Series.  The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Baltimore Orioles, and Detroit Tigers (divisional winners, seeded 1–3 based on regular season record) as well as the Wild Card game winning Kansas City Royals played in the two series. TBS carried all the games.

These matchups were:
 (1) Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (West Division champions) vs. (4) Kansas City Royals (Wild Card Game winner): Royals win series 3–0.
 (2) Baltimore Orioles (East Division champions) vs. (3) Detroit Tigers (Central Division champions): Orioles win series 3–0.

This was the first postseason played under the current divisional alignment, going back to 1995, in which neither the Boston Red Sox nor the New York Yankees competed in an ALDS. It was also the Royals' first appearance in the current version of the ALDS, as their last previous postseason appearance had come in 1985, prior to its conception (although the team had played in one of the 1981 ALDS necessitated by that year's player strike and the resulting split season). It was also the Orioles' first ALDS win since 1997.

Both the Angels and the Royals, and the Tigers and the Orioles, met for the first time in the postseason.

The Royals went on to defeat the Orioles in the ALCS, then lost the 2014 World Series to the National League champion San Francisco Giants.

Los Angeles vs. Kansas City

Game 1

Mike Moustakas, who is a native of Los Angeles, hit a  home run deep into right field in the 11th inning to give the Royals a 3–2 victory in Game 1. Closer Greg Holland, who arrived during the fourth inning following a trip to North Carolina for the birth of his son, pitched a perfect bottom half of the 11th to seal the Royals' victory. Alcides Escobar had an RBI double in the third inning, allowing Moustakas to score, and Omar Infante's sacrifice fly allowed Alex Gordon to score in the fifth. The Angels' only scores were home runs from Chris Iannetta in the third and David Freese in the fifth.

This game also started a string of postseason games in which the Royals defense would make a number of highlight reel defensive plays.  Outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Nori Aoki each had a pair of great catches, which slowed down the Angels' high powered offense.

Game 2

Eric Hosmer hit a two-run homer and Salvador Pérez recorded an RBI infield single in the 11th inning, as the Royals won Game 2, 4–1. Kansas City scored first on Alex Gordon's RBI single in the second, but the Angels tied the game in the sixth with Albert Pujols' RBI single.

Kansas City again came up with a timely defensive gem.  In the bottom of the eighth with no outs and pinch runner Collin Cowgill at second base, Jarrod Dyson caught a fly ball to left-center field off  Chris Iannetta, and then threw a picture perfect strike to Mike Moustakas at third to double-up Cowgill, who tried to advance on the play.

Game 3

The Angels took their only lead of this series with a one out home run by Mike Trout in the top of the first off  James Shields, but C. J. Wilson gave up a triple in the bottom half to Alex Gordon and was immediately knocked out of the game. Eric Hosmer would add his second home run of this series, a two-run home run in the third off  Hector Santiago, to make it 5–1 Royals. The Angels cut it to 5–2 in the fourth on Albert Pujols's home run, but in the bottom of the inning, Mike Morin allowed a one-out home run to Mike Moustakas, then two singles to put runners on first and third before Lorenzo Cain's sacrifice fly made it 7–2 Royals. They made it 8–2 in the sixth off  Kevin Jepsen on Nori Aoki's RBI single that scored Omar Infante from second. The Angels scored the last run of the series in the eighth off  Wade Davis on Josh Hamilton's groundout with runners on second and third as the Royals completed a three-game sweep to punch their ticket to the 2014 ALCS.

The defense again showed up for Kansas City.  The highlights of the game included back-to-back diving catches in the fifth inning by Lorenzo Cain with runners on base.

As of 2023, this remains the Angels’ most recent postseason appearance.

Baltimore vs. Detroit

Game 1

Nelson Cruz's two-run home run in the bottom of the first started the scoring for the Orioles. The Tigers tied the score in the top of the second on back-to-back home runs by Victor Martinez and J. D. Martinez, but Baltimore pulled ahead on an RBI single by Nick Markakis in the bottom half. The score remained unchanged until Baltimore scored in the seventh on a home run from J. J. Hardy to make the score 4–2. In the top of the eighth, Ian Kinsler singled off of Darren O'Day, but was doubled off of first on a line drive by Torii Hunter. The play proved to be critical as the next batter, Miguel Cabrera, homered. In the bottom half, after a one out double by Alejandro De Aza, Joba Chamberlain relieved starter Max Scherzer and a crucial error by Andrew Romine allowed De Aza to score and Adam Jones to reach base. Jones stole second, then scored on Nelson Cruz's single. Joakim Soria relieved Chamberlain and a single and intentional walk loaded the bases before Ryan Flaherty's single and Nick Hundley's groundout scored a run each, then Jonathan Schoop's double scored two more. Phil Coke relieved Soria and threw a wild pitch that moved Schoop to third, then walked Nick Markakis before De Aza, in his second at-bat of the inning, doubled to score both men. Baltimore scored a team postseason record and LDS record eight runs in the inning. This record would be tied the next day in the Cardinals/Dodgers NLDS series. With the game out of reach, Tommy Hunter came on and pitched out of a bases loaded jam to seal the game.

Game 2

Nick Markakis' two-run home run off Tiger starter Justin Verlander in the third put the Orioles on the board. But in the top of the fourth, Torii Hunter singled, Cabrera doubled him to third, Victor Martinez singled to score Hunter, J. D. Martinez homered to put Detroit on top 4–2 and Nick Castellanos homered to push the lead to three runs before the first out was recorded. After the next two outs were recorded, Rajai Davis singled and chased Baltimore starter Wei-Yin Chen in the process. Kevin Gausman came on and got the final out of the inning without further damage to keep the score 5–2. A two out RBI single by J. J. Hardy cut the score to 5–3 but Verlander escaped without another run crossing the plate. The score stayed at 5–3 until the top of the eighth when Victor Martinez doubled home Hunter to push the lead back to three runs. But for the second straight day Baltimore would fight back against the Tiger bullpen in the bottom of the eighth. Joba Chamberlain came on and got De Aza to ground out, but Adam Jones was hit by a pitch, Nelson Cruz singled Jones to second, and Steve Pearce singled in Jones to make it a 6–4 game. Joakim Soria came on in relief of Chamberlain and walked Hardy to load the bases for former Tiger Delmon Young. Young unloaded the bases with a go-ahead three-run double to put the Orioles back on top 7–6. Zach Britton came on and pitched a perfect ninth to send Baltimore to Detroit up two games to none.

Game 3

Adam Jones' single and Nelson Cruz's two-run home run that just stayed fair down the right field line off  David Price in the sixth broke a scoreless tie and the backs of the Tigers as Baltimore completed a three-game sweep. The Tigers got back-to-back leadoff doubles from Victor Martinez and J. D. Martinez in the ninth to pull within a run. After Bryan Holaday struck out, an intentional walk to Nick Castellanos put the winning run on base. Britton got Hernan Perez to ground into the game-ending, series-ending double play, sending the Orioles to their first ALCS appearance in 17 years. With the loss, the Tigers lost their first ever ALDS. In their previous four appearances, they advanced to the ALCS every time. As of 2023, this remains their last postseason appearance, and the last postseason win for the Orioles.

title: T. C. Fairbairn

text:
Thomas C. Fairbairn (usually credited as T. C. Fairbairn) was a theatre impresario, particularly known for his productions of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Hiawatha.

Fairbairn first produced his dramatised, costumed version of Scenes from the Song of Hiawatha in 1924. Held at the Royal Albert Hall, and featuring the Royal Choral Society, it raised funds for the Royal National Institute for the Blind. The eight performances were so successful that he rebooked the hall and choir for the following year. He repeated the show every year until 1939, apart from 1926, the year of the General Strike. All but the first show featured 1,000 performers, 200 of whom were dancers. The production also toured other venues in the greater London area.

Fairbairn appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 18 May 1974.

title: Crying Wolf (The Vampire Diaries)

text:
"Crying Wolf" is the 14th episode of the second season of The CW television series The Vampire Diaries, and the 36th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on February 10, 2011. The episode was written by Brian Young and directed by David Von Ancken.

Plot
The episode starts with Jules (Michaela McManus) and Brady (Stephen Amell) burning the bodies of the dead werewolves so people will not find them. Another werewolf, Stevie (Erik Stocklin), is also there who informs them that Mason was looking for the moonstone to break the curse of the sun and the moon and explains that if the vampires break it then they will be able to walk in the sun but if the werewolves do it, then they will be able to turn whenever they want (even never) and not be forced to do it only at the full moon. Jules and Brady decide that they have to find the moonstone and everything that is needed to break the curse, including Elena (Nina Dobrev), and they ask Tyler's (Michael Trevino) help.

Elena wants to get away from everything for a while, so she goes away with Stefan (Paul Wesley) for a romantic weekend at her parents' house near the lake. When they get there, Elena remembers her parents and memories of them at the house come back to her mind. Stefan is there for her and they later find out a secret place where Elena's parents were hiding vampire weapons as well as other Gilbert journals.

Damon (Ian Somerhalder) meets Elijah (Daniel Gillies) at the tea party Carol (Susan Walters) is organizing and tries to find out his plans and why he wants to keep Elena safe at the moment but Elijah does not seem willing to share his plans. At the same time, Bonnie (Kat Graham), with the help of Caroline (Candice Accola) and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), uses her magic to force Luka (Bryton James) tell her about Elijah's plans.

Damon gets back to the Salvatore house with Alaric (Matt Davis) and they try to figure out what Elijah wants and how they are going to kill him. Alaric has to meet Jenna (Sara Canning) and gets up to leave, but on his way out he gets stabbed from a werewolf and Stevie drugs Damon. The werewolves tie Damon up and they start torturing him so he will tell them where the moonstone is. Damon does not tell them anything when Elijah appears with the moonstone. He challenges the werewolves to take it and he kills all of them while Jules runs away. Before he leaves, he tells Damon once again to keep Elena safe.

Tyler arrives at the Grill bar where Caroline is and manages to get her phone without her noticing him. Tyler uses Caroline's phone to text Elena so he can learn where she is and then he informs Brady that Elena is at the lake with Stefan. Brady and Tyler head to the lake so they can capture her. When they get there, Brady shoots Stefan and asks Tyler to keep him down while he will go to get Elena. When Brady leaves, Stefan informs Tyler what Brady and the other werewolves really need Elena for since they have to kill her to break the curse and Tyler feels bad since he did not know about that detail. Brady chases Elena who manages to escape from him till the moment Stefan appears and kills him. Tyler apologizes to Elena because he did not know what they would do to her and that is why he helped them and Elena forgives him.

Bonnie, Jeremy and Caroline manage to get the information they need from Luka; that Elijah plans to break the curse on his own so he can kill Klaus who will be weakened right after the sacrifice. Luka and his father just help him because Klaus has his sister and they just want to take her back. Bonnie calls Damon to tell him that Elijah plans to kill Elena after all and Damon calls Stefan to inform him about it. Stefan tells Elena who does not seem surprised and tells him that Elijah agreed to keep her friends and family safe and not her as well. Stefan is mad at Elena for making such kind of a deal and he leaves.

Bonnie and Jeremy get together while Tyler meets Matt (Zach Roerig) at the bar to tell him that Caroline loves him and she needs him and that he should not be mad at her. He admits to him that she helped him during a difficult period but there was nothing between them and he leaves. Tyler also leaves a note to his mother and then leaves town with Jules.

Reception

Ratings
In its original American broadcast, "Crying Wolf" was watched by 2.78 million, down by 0.44 from the previous episode.

Reviews
"Crying Wolf" received positive reviews.

Emma Fraser of TV Overmind gave the episode an A rating, saying that it was "Another strong outing [episode] from the show that just doesn’t slow down even when romantic getaways are thrown in to the mix."

E. Reagan from The TV Chick gave the episode an A− rating, saying that it was another awesome episode and the show continues to impress with how good it is.

Carrie Raisler from The A.V. Club gave the episode a B+ rating, saying that "overall, [the episode] was a very strong sequence for the characters and featured some tight and suspenseful direction. Good stuff, all around."

Matt Richenthal of TV Fanatic rated the episode a 4.6/5, saying that it was an episode "with a lot of heart".

Diana Steenbergen from IGN rated the episode an 8.5/10, stating that "the plot revolving around the curse on vampires and werewolves is growing increasingly twisty", and that this is something the show excels at. Steenbergen also praised Daniel Gillies, saying that he continues to do a great job as Elija; "He is cool under pressure and menacing without seeming to try. He barely broke a sweat shrugging off Damon's attempt to intimidate him, and his offer of a handkerchief for Damon to wipe up the blood was a nice touch."

Robin Franson Pruter of Forced Viewing rated the episode a 3/4, saying that the storylines begin to come together in this "enjoyable, if overly violent, episode." Pruter praises Candice Accola's acting, saying that she steals every scene she's in," but criticizes the violence of the episode. "On the whole, this episode, despite the gratuitous violence and the mystifying Tyler departure, provides an excellent level of story development and execution for an ordinary episode from the middle of a season."

Meg from Two Cents TV gave a positive review to the episode, saying that it was a good one.

title: Mirasole Abbey

text:
Mirasole Abbey () is a monastery in the comune of Opera near Milan, Lombardy, Northern Italy. The monastery was initially founded by the Humiliati in the 13th century. The buildings have had diverse uses over the centuries. Since 2013, houses a community of the Premonstratensians.

History
The abbey was founded as a monastery of the Humiliati in the first half of the 13th century. Its economy was based on the working of wool and the production of woollen cloth.

The Humiliati were suppressed in 1571, and the abbey became the property of the Collegio Elvetico in Milan, which was taken over for the use of the Austrian administration in 1786. The building is now the Palazzo del Senato); its spiritual life was administered by the Olivetans. In 1797, the former abbey was given to the Ospedale Maggiore of Milan.

In 2013 a community of Premonstratensian canons moved into the former abbey premises as the Priorato San Norberto, a priory of Mondaye Abbey in France.

Buildings
The rectangular layout includes a church and cloisters. The buildings were once surrounded by a moat, towers and a drawbridge. One entrance led towards the country, the other into the city. The church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was constructed in the 14th and 15th centuries. It contains a fresco of the Assumption of the Virgin by an anonymous master of 1460, linked to the school of Michelino da Besozzo.

title: The Isis Magazine

text:
The Isis is a student publication at the University of Oxford, where the magazine was established in 1892. Traditionally a rival to the student newspaper Cherwell, Isis was finally acquired by the latter's publishing house, Oxford Student Publications Limited, in the late 1990s. It now operates as a termly magazine and website, providing an outlet for features journalism, although for most of its life it appeared weekly. The two publications are named after the two rivers in Oxford, "Isis" being the local name for the River Thames.

History

The Isis was founded by Mostyn Turtle Piggott, the first of the student editors, on 27 April 1892. In his first editorial he wrote:

"We have no politics and fewer principles, and should we last until the General Election we shall use our influence for neither side. We shall endeavour to be humorous without being ill-humoured, critical without being captious, militant without being malevolent, independent without being impertinent, and funny (as Mr Albert Chevalier says) without being vulgar."

In its early days, The Isis was owned and published by the Holywell Press. Students were given complete independence, as long as the paper they produced was profitable and within good taste. Oxford welcomed the addition to its scene wholeheartedly, and was more than prepared to pay the weekly sixpence. The Isis was an accurate recorder of proceedings in the Oxford Union - enough of a function to maintain sales. The same price (2.5p in modern money) lasted into the 1960s.

One of the features of the magazine that survives today is the "Icons" section (then known as "Idols"). In the 1890s, being President of OUDS (the Oxford University Dramatic Society) seemed to guarantee an appearance in print. Some of the Idols featured pre-1939 were Lord David Cecil and T. E. Lawrence; it was not until 1935 that the editors judged a woman worthy of being featured as an Idol – Lady Katharine Cairns being the first.

After the beginning of World War I, The Isis ceased publication for four years, until it was resurrected in 1919 by Beverley Nichols, who produced the opening issue entirely by himself:"the great fact remains that Oxford is still here, a little dazed and unsteady perhaps, but Oxford all the same, and it is to sing of Oxford that The Isis appears once more, to reflect its every tendency, to echo its laughter and – well, to do the other thing."

Evelyn Waugh contributed to the magazine regularly. Waugh was also the first to participate in the rivalry between The Isis and the freshly established Cherwell by writing for both. The Isis was disparagingly referred to in The Cherwell as "The Was-Was".

The 1930s were times of much political turmoil in Europe, yet serene in The Isis - but then, so were they in the rest of the British press. A couple of articles more flippant than political in tone resulted in The Isis being banned in Germany in 1935. Only a year later, the magazine had again to suspend its operations until 1945, to re-emerge with new strength.

The H-bomb was a significant topic for debate in 1958, and the magazine published a whole issue on the subject consisting of unsigned articles. Two of the undergraduate contributors, William Miller and Paul Thompson, were both ex-national service, and wrote about British Intelligence operations on the borders of the Soviet Union. The two men were prosecuted under section 2 of the Official Secrets Act 1911, and sentenced to three months imprisonment. As result, the proprietors at Holywell Press saw the need to step in, with the objection that the staff was now "definitely left-wing and will almost inevitably remain so."

The definite article dropped from its title, in the 1960s Isis turned its guns on Oxford. In Michaelmas Term 1961 under Editor Paul Foot, the magazine began publishing reviews of university lectures. Of themselves the reviews attracted little interest outside the university. However, the decision of the university's Proctors to ban them triggered a national outcry. Three years later, under editor Chris Meakin, Isis had a second attempt. This time it succeeded and the Proctors, despite a fierce intellectual battle with the Editor using their Proctorial Summonses, at length found it simpler to back down under the spotlight of national newspaper interest. The debate revolved around the disagreement: who was doing more to "bring the name of the university into disrepute"? > > the reviews by exposing in public the worth of university lecturers > > or the Proctors by banning the reviews? Isis won. The Reviews then lasted for several terms until less-connected editors lost interest. Exceptionally the Editor also undertook the role of lead Oxford Union critic himself, as noted above a position of considerable influence around Oxford University from the magazine's earliest days.

For the Isis Idol in his term, Meakin prophetically chose the (much later) novelist Jeffrey Archer, who showed no literary flair whatever at Oxford and never wrote for Isis. The magazine did not only criticise Oxford. One issue during that same term was mainly devoted to an on-the-spot examination of a controversial parliamentary election in the Birmingham-area constituency of Smethwick, where the widely criticised Conservative candidate Peter Griffiths was considered to have fought a racist campaign. To produce that particular issue, Isis took a coachload of undergraduate journalists to Birmingham for the day. The result was an edition of the magazine which was widely admired and which Paul Foot hailed as "one of the best things Isis has ever done." Following his editorship, Meakin produced a weekly satirical column "The Fifth Column", a title that has been borrowed numerous times since; it then took him about fifty years to produce his first novel The Chinese Ocean published in June 2015. It was probably a record delay for editors of the magazine; he followed this in 2017 with his non-fiction "The Origin of Economies."

Meantime the first of several attempted rescues came from businessman, Robert Maxwell, and his Pergamon Press on Headington Hill, Oxford. In a risky business move, a national student publication was created - Isis National, which began distribution in Spring 1964, without success. He departed in 1970,  making Isis an entirely independent and student-run company. The "University" tag was scrapped, and Isis was also distributed at the Oxford Polytechnic in Headington (now Oxford Brookes University). Quite soon, the absence of solid financial backing caused the frequency of publication to be cut by half, and Isis began to appear fortnightly. The following decades were interspersed with financial crises, the worst of which was a £1,000 printing bill in 1972 - and no cash to cover it with. Again, a rescue squad appeared from an unlikely, but illustrious source, in the form of this telegram:

"Read of your financial troubles in The Times STOP One thousand pounds will be en route as soon as you cable us name and address of printers at the Granotel Rome - Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton"

In 1998, after a series of growing financial crises, "Isis Publications Ltd" was created. Today The Isis is a termly magazine owned and published by Oxford Student Publications Ltd and is an anthology of poetry, investigations and art. The Isis also runs events for students in Oxford.

Alumni
The Isis has been the springboard for careers in literature, the theatre and television, with specific influences in Private Eye and Westminster politics. Isis alumni include Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh, Harold Acton, Graham Greene, John Betjeman, Michael Foot, Jo Grimond, Sylvia Plath, Sue Lloyd-Roberts, playwright Dennis Potter, Adrian Mitchell, Charles Graves, Robert Robinson (the BBC broadcaster), Richard Ingrams (former editor of Private Eye),  David Dimbleby (BBC Question Time), Paul Foot (former deputy editor of Private Eye), Alastair Macdonald (deputy Permanent Secretary at the Department for Trade and Industry), Derek Parfit (All Souls philosopher), Christopher Meakin (journalist, economist, banker},  Peter Gillman, Mary Kaldor (Professor at LSE), Sally Laird (writer, translator and editor), Gyles Brandreth (MP and entertainer) and Terry Jones (actor).  Then in the "only four issues a term" era: George Osborne, Nigella Lawson, Jo Johnson and Ben Goldacre.

title: Nancy Glenn-Nieto

text:
Nancy Glenn-Nieto (born September 20, 1944) is an American-Mexican actress, model, and fine art painter. She is perhaps best known as a model and an actress in Mexico City; however, her art work has become highly collectable. She is the widow of Mexican Oaxacan painter Rodolfo Nieto.

Early life
Born Nancy Hoskins in Oklahoma to Howard Hoskins (March 1, 1911 – 1995), an engineer for Douglas Aircraft Company, and Mary Hoskins, (July 29, 1922 – March 6, 2014) a school teacher; when a child she moved with her family to Southern California. During her girlhood she spent a good deal of time with her maternal grandmother Herminia Matuse Harrel (May 7, 1889 – January 23, 1995) who was born and raised in Cruces, Chihuahua, Mexico. Nancy became enchanted with her grandmother's stories that created colorful contrasting views of a country full of culture, music, and art, but politically on the brink of upheaval with individuals such as Porfirio Díaz, Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata and how her grandmother escaped the Mexican Revolution of 1911 crossing the Rio Grande into the safety of El Paso, Texas. Growing up in a family of two cultures, Nancy integrated both with equal value into her personal perspective.

Her interest in art began when she was a little girl. She liked to draw pictures of the neighborhood dogs and cats, often bringing them into her home. Her mother remembered this time with "Nancy was always bringing a stray cat or dog home. She'd feed them, and soon they became part of our family." During her high school years, her first job was painting Christmas scenes on the local merchant's shop window.

While Nancy liked to paint and draw, she also liked the attention she got when she won the Miss Los Angeles beauty contest. That same year at 23 years old she entered the Queen of the Pacific Beauty Pageant held in Melbourne, Australia, as the representative from California.

Mexico City
After graduating University of California, Santa Barbara, with a degree in Fine Art, Nancy's identification with her grandmother motivated her to get to know her grandmother's Mexican roots. After traveling throughout Mexico, she decided to establish herself in Mexico City.
While visiting an art gallery in the bohemian Zona Rosa, Mexico City, she was spotted by Ned Motola the publicity director of the Mexico City office of the international publicity company Doyle Dane and Bernbach. Impressed with her shapely legs, he offered her a contract to model in commercials for his client Christian Dior's leg wear. From that national exposure, her modeling career blossomed. Soon she became one of Mexico's top models. Large international companies used her image to advertise their product. She appeared on billboards, TV commercials, magazines such as Vanity, in major newspapers, and she modeled in Haute couture fashion shows for Catalina Swimwear, Chanel, Dior, and El Palacio de Hierro. Not unlike the well known model Suzy Parker, modeling became Nancy's springboard into acting in movies that is until her marriage to Rodolfo Nieto.

Marriage
Newly married to the fine arts painter Rodolfo Nieto, her husband preferred that she did not continue to work in movies because when she was on location, he missed her. On the other hand, modeling took her away from home for a few hours; therefore, he encouraged her to continue modeling. Which she did when she was not helping him prepare canvasses. Rodolfo Nieto was a prolific painter who often worked on numerous canvasses—up to ten canvasses at one time—he'd work intensely for long periods of time at home in his studio.

They had met at the grand opening of the Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros named after the Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. Nancy was impressed with Rodolfo's "impeccable sense of style. When I first saw him-- tall and lean, with a shock of dark wavy hair that contrasted interestingly with his cat-like green eyes, he was wearing a beautiful European cut tweed jacket, with corduroy trousers, a silk shirt, and a pink ascot around his neck." He likewise was attracted to the beautiful actress / model, but when he discovered that she also was a painter, a few months later on September 11, 1971, they married in the Civil registry in the Colonia Coyoacán.

They spent years together painting with a constant effort to stretch their artistic endeavors. Blending the Mexican tradition and contemporary art concepts, they studied Pre-Columbian art and architecture in Oaxaca, Jalapa, Guerrero, Veracruz, Chiapas and Mexico City. They also visited European museums and lived for a while in Paris. A devotion to the creative experience was the uniting bond between the two artists whose favorite evening activity was listening to music and studying art books.

Skull Art
After Rodolfo Nieto's death in June 1985, the following November 1st—the Day of the Dead—in her home she decorated an altar with his photograph at the center surrounded with things he enjoyed in life, such as fruits, a bottle of wine, and bread; along with little Calaveras or skulls made of sugar and Cempasúchil. In the ancient Mexican tradition where the worship of death involved the worship of new life: the skull – symbol of death – was a promise to resurrection. Subsequently, she began a series of paintings that depicted the mysterious character of the ancient celebration of the skull. Her series initiated and defined the genre of Skull Art.

Later the Mexican Cultural Institute impressed with her Skull Art invited her to exhibit for the Day of the Dead in the Mexican consulates, where she would install elaborate altars surrounded with her paintings of "skull trees," odd parrots, and the living dead.

Major themes
Nancy's major themes are mystical animals, colorful flowers, and powerful saints; she explains "I have developed my own style." That has become a combination of Mexican folklore, realism, and American pop art where rich colors saturate the canvass evoking Picassoesque images placed on firm construction lines. Like a novel with a reliable narrator, it pleases. "When you live with such a great artist (Rodolfo Nieto) for so long, you begin to feel like you have no talent at all. But little by little, I got my courage up and began to have shows."

title: Bolivian Spanish

text:
Bolivian Spanish (or Castilian) is the variety of Spanish spoken by the majority of the population in Bolivia, either as a mother tongue or as a second language. Within the Spanish of Bolivia there are different regional varieties. In the border areas, Bolivia shares dialectal features with the neighboring countries.

Throughout Bolivia the preservation of phonemic contrast between  and the lateral  (i.e. the absence of yeísmo) is the norm. Aspiration of syllable-final  is frequent in the lowlands, while in the highlands the sibilant  tends to be preserved, realized either as a laminal or, frequently, an apical . In highland dialects, the "trill" phoneme (orthographic  or word-initial ) is often assibilated, realized as a voiced apicoalveolar fricative, or alveolar approximant, which pronunciation is similar to the sound of  () in English. In highland Bolivian Spanish there is "intense reduction" of unstressed vowels in contact with , often resulting in syllables with  as their nucleus, e.g. pues ("well,...") pronounced .

Dialects

Andean Spanish

Camba Spanish

This variety of Spanish is spoken on the Chaco-Beni plain and in the Santa Cruz valleys, a region that includes the departments of Santa Cruz, Beni, and Pando. Spanish is spoken by almost the entire population of these regions, and—like Spanish throughout the Americas—has its basis in Andalusian Spanish and Canarian Spanish, but with influences of native languages such as Chiquitano, Chané and Guarani, as well as Old World languages including Portuguese and Arabic. And although it is fairly uniform across regions and social classes, there are subtle geographical differences.

This dialect is characterized by the debuccalization ("aspiration") of final . For example, the word pues is pronounced . For the second-person-singular pronoun and verb forms, the use of "voseo" is dominant. The use of diminutive -ingo and the augmentative -ango is unique to this dialect. For example: chiquitingo ("very small") and grandango ("very large").

Loanwords from Chiquitano or from an extinct variety close to Chiquitano include bi 'genipa', masi 'squirrel', peni 'lizard', peta 'turtle, tortoise', jachi 'chicha leftover', jichi 'worm; jichi spirit', among many others.

Chapaco Spanish
This dialect is spoken mainly in the valleys and the Gran Chaco of the department of Tarija, but also in the region of Villa Abecia and Camargo (in the department of Chuquisaca), in the province of Sud Chichas (capital Tupiza), and in the Chaco regions of Chuquisaca and Santa Cruz.

The second-person-singular voseo is in full use in Tupiza, in the west of Tarija, and in the rest of the aforementioned areas.

The Chapaco accent has an intonation similar to that of Jujuy, Salta, and Tucumán in Argentina, as the territory where it was originally spoken is now located in the Río de la Plata Province of Tarija. This intonation appears throughout the Bolivian Chaco, Tupiza (Sud Chichas) and the Chuquisaca valleys of Camargo, Villa Abecia, Azurduy, Alcalá, etc.

Valluno Spanish
This variety is spoken in the departments of Cochabamba and Chuquisaca. It is somewhat similar to  Andean Spanish but differs in intonation and the use of idiomatic expressions, due to the mixture of Spanish and Quechua spoken in the valleys of Bolivia.

Tuteo and voseo
Because many institutions and companies use "tú" and the "tuteante" verb forms for the familiar second-person singular, it is common to encounter the erroneous statement that "tuteo" rather than "voseo" is the usual form in the speech of Bolivia.

Similarities
This chart shows the similarities between the dialects of Spanish spoken in Bolivia and those spoken in its neighboring Spanish-speaking countries Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Paraguay, as well as Portuguese spoken in neighboring Brazil.

title: Hafelekarspitze

text:
The Hafelekarspitze is a mountain in the so-called North Chain (Nordkette) north of Innsbruck in Austria.

Location and landscape
Below and west of the summit is the top station of Hafelekar, the second section of the Nordkette Cable Car at a height of , from where the Hafelekarspitze may be reached in a few minutes by foot on a metalled path.

Not far from there is the Hafelekar Survey Station, a cosmic radiation observatory of the University of Innsbruck, the only one of its kind in Austria. It was here in 1937 that physicists Marietta Blau and Hertha Wambacher using Nuclear emulsion plates, made the first ever observation of nuclear disintegration 'stars' (Zertrümmerungsterne) caused by cosmic rays striking nuclei in the emulsion.

Routes
In summer, the Hafelekarspitze is the start point for mountain hikes and tours along the Goethe Way (Goetheweg) to the Gleirschspitze, the Mandlspitze (), the Gleirschtaler Brandjoch saddle or to the  Rumer Spitze. At the eastern end of the Goethe Way is the Pfeis Hut north and below the Rumer Spitze, which is used as a base for the long route via the Wilde Bande-Steig to the Lafatscher Joch () and the Hallerangerhaus. In winter there is a ski route from the top station to the Seegrube (), the centre of the North Chain ski area.

title: Bahaddur

text:
Bahaddur () is a 2014 Indian Kannada-language masala film directed by Chethan Kumar and produced by R. Srinivas. The film stars Dhruva Sarja and Radhika Pandit in the lead roles. The supporting cast features P. Ravi Shankar, Achyuth Kumar, Jai Jagadish and Srinivasa Murthy. The film released on 3 October 2014, in 7.1 surround sound, the first in Kannada cinema. The 2016 Telugu movie Srirastu Subhamastu was reported to have been heavily inspired by the core plot of this movie.

Cast

Plot

Set in an urban milieu, the story revolves around Ashok (Dhruva Sarja), who belongs to the Bahaddur royal family. He comes to Mysore in search of an ideal girl and is smitten by the charming Anjali (Radhika Pandit). From teasing her, following her, irritating her and cajoling her, he tries every trick of the trade to win her heart. However, he doesn't disclose his background. But Anjali has a promise to keep. She's made a commitment to her father Shankarappa (Srinivasamurthy) that she will marry the boy of his choice. This doesn't deter the lover in Ashok from giving up. In due course of time, Anjali's engagement is fixed with Sharath, the son of Shankarappa's close friend. The story takes a turn when Appaji Gowda (Ravishankar), her father's friend, reveals what's brewing between Ashok and Anjali.

Production

Casting
Speculations of Radhika Pandit having been signed as the female lead opposite Sarja were confirmed in March 2013. However, Sarja's signing was confirmed in October 2013. Having worked together in Addhuri (2012) previously, the film was their second together. It was revealed in August 2014, that actor Puneeth Rajkumar would be giving a voice-over for the film. Speaking on the importance of this, the director Chethan Kumar said, "The film begins with Puneeth's voice over. He introduces the characters and the story and his voice becomes the sutradhar of the film, as it returns towards the end of the film. What he says also forms an essence of this story that we have tried to narrate".

Filming
After the film was announced in 2012, the filming got underway, until the producers Legend International backed out in March 2013, following losses incurred from the failure of its previous production Andhar Bahar. Filming then resumed after R. S. Productions took over in October 2013. Majority of the film was shot in Mysore and Hubli, among other places like Bangalore and Mandya. Two songs for the film were shot in Malaysia. In an interview, Sarja revealed that he had to put on 22 kg for his role in the film and then shed 18 kg for the song sequences.

Marketing
The trailer of the Bahaddur was released on 22 September 2014, on YouTube. As part of the promotional activities, the cast and crew of the film participated in a blood donation camp in Bangalore, organized by fan clubs Dhruva Warriors and Besuge Adda, prior to its 25th day run in theatres. The cast and crew then promoted the film in various theatres in Bangalore. They further went on a tour of Karnataka promoting the film, visiting places such as Mandya, Chitradurga, Davangere, Chamrajnagar and Tumkur.

Soundtrack

The music for the film and soundtracks were composed by V. Harikrishna, with lyrics for the soundtracks penned by Chethan Kumar, Yogaraj Bhat, Kaviraj and A. P. Arjun. The soundtrack album has five tracks. It was released first on 1 September 2014, under the label D Beats, owned by V. Harikrishna. However, it was released officially on 20 September.

Reception
The soundtrack album was received positively by critics and fans alike. It sold 1 lakh audio CDs in 18 days from its release, also with 1.5 lakh digital downloads by the time. Following this, the platinum disc was launched in September 2014. Reviewing the album, Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India wrote, "The tracks make for a perfect mix of romance, massy and dance numbers -the must-haves in a commercial entertainer."

Release and reception
The film released on 3 October 2014, in around screens across Karnataka. The distribution rights of the film were bought by Samarth Prasad under his banner Samarth Ventures. Following a good response at the domestic box-office, it was announced 24 October, that the film would be screened in 29 centres abroad, that include screens in Australia, the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and Singapore.

Critical reception
Upon its theatrical release, the film received mixed reviews from critics. Shyam Prasad S. of Bangalore Mirror gave the film a rating of four out of five and said, "[the film]... takes the romantic story of boy-meets-girl to the level where the rest of the characters are down to a bare minimum." and gave credit to the "chemistry between the lead pair". G. S. Kumar of The Times of India felt the film has "all the ingredients of the perfect romantic flick". He concluded writing praises for the roles of the acting, music, cinematography and the choreography departments in the film. Bharath Bhat of FilmiBeat gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Bahaddur is a very entertaining movie. The viewers will not have single moment of boredom. A must watch to all cine lovers." However, it received a negative review from S. Viswanath of Deccan Herald who gave the film a 1/5 rating and called the film "sickening". He wrote of the film, "Legitimising stalking, in the guise of comedy, Director Chethan Kumar gives one goosebumps."

Box office
Following a good opening, reports said Bahaddur collected  in the first week of its release. A bulk of this,  came from the Bangalore, Kolar and Tumkur regions. Following its first week from release, it managed to retain all the screens and collected  within 2 weeks. Unusually, even two weeks after its release, the film was said to be faring well at multiplexes considering the Kannada films were screened in single screens after such a run, previously.

title: John Medica Gardens

text:
The John Medica Gardens are a collection of folk art stoneworks and gardens created by John Medica in Santa Rosa, California in the United States. The gardens are on the list of California Historical Landmarks. The garden is located on a private property. It took Medica 20 years to create the gardens.

History

John Medica was born in Croatia. He owned a turkey farm, which served as the location for the gardens. He started by building a stone wall around the property in 1955. The wall was made of basalt from a former quarry located on the farm. In 1957, he sold his turkey farm and focused on working full-time on developing the gardens.

Medica built a series of castles made out of cement on his property. He taught himself masonry in order to proceed with the development of the gardens. He worked on the project from until 1967 and would work upwards of 12 hours a day on the property. The gardens total 4 acres. He did not draw or plan his designs, he would just start building and see what types of creations developed.

In total, the property has 28 stone buildings. Many of them are over 3 1/2 feet tall and have towers that are 7-feet tall. There are six bridges, three arches that are 8-foot high, a small railroad, a pool, grotto, and walkways. Lights and fountains provided ambiance for the gardens.

Today

When Medica died, the property went into escrow. It was already a California Historical Landmark. Government officials tried to have the property blended into the nearby Spring Lake Park, which was originally property owned by Medica that he donated for public land. The property began to be vandalized and parts of the castles, including abalone shells used as decorations, were stolen. As of today, the property is located in a residential neighborhood. The gardens are inaccessible to the public. The castles have been described as "in disrepair," and in need of conservation. SPACES has been raising funds in order to preserve the space.

title: Mark Lubbock

text:
Mark Hugh Lubbock (17 November 1898 – 10 November 1986) was a British conductor and composer, especially of operetta and light music.

Life
Lubbock was born in Downe, Kent, the son of Hugh Nevile Lubbock and Margaret Tiarks. His grandfather was the Kent county cricketer Sir Nevile Lubbock, and his cousin was the politician Eric Lubbock, 4th Baron Avebury. He was educated at Eton College, and later in Dresden. He also served in World War I with the Royal Artillery and the Labour Corps.

He began his career as a singer in the choruses of several musical comedies, making his conducting debut with theatrical touring companies in 1920, initially with the Shaftesbury Theatre. The earnings from this funded his study period in Dresden, where he also became a répétiteur and assistant conductor to Kurt Striegler. In 1933, he and Harry S. Pepper were recruited by the BBC, both being noted as "established composers of light music".  Lubbock was the BBC's Light Music Conductor from 1933 to 1944, replacing Stanford Robinson.

On 15 January 1930 he married the writer Bea Howe, author of the group biography A Galaxy of Governesses (1954), regular contributor to Country Life and a close friend of Sylvia Townsend Warner. They lived in Kensington, London and at The Old Forge, Althorne in Essex. Lubbock also had a relationship with the actress Barbara Shotter (sister of Winifred Shotter), with whom he had a daughter.

Lubbock appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 15 June 1974.

Works
His 1931 operetta The King Can Do No Wrong was one of the first to be commissioned and broadcast by the BBC specifically for radio broadcast.  It was one of at least 12 musical comedies he wrote in collaboration with the playwright and BBC producer C. Denis Freeman, including Seat in Hyde Park (1931), His Majesty Proclaims, Fame in a Night, Uplift, Wonderful Weekend (1932) and The Castle on the Hill (1933). A later radio operetta was  The Rose and the Violet (1942), with book and lyrics by Barbara Cartland, set against the Edwardian background of Rotten Row.

His other compositions include light orchestral pieces such as Fiesta, Moon Lullaby, Polka Dots and Saltarello,  and songs such as A Smuggler's Song, Blackbird in the Apple Tree, Dance Again, Lullaby River, The Whispering Poplar, and Winter Rose. He also wrote the incidental music for the 1952 London production of An Italian Straw Hat at the Old Vic.

In 1962 Lubbock published a reference work, The Complete Book of Light Opera, a book of synopses conceived as a companion to Kobbé with an American section by David Ewen.
