title: Stephen Dowthwaite

text:
Stephen V. Dowthwaite (born 1956) is an English perfumer, perfumery educator, programmer and writer. He is the founder of PerfumersWorld, a resource for professional perfumers. He is known for developing The ABC's of Perfumery, a comprehensive system of odour classification and perfume creation, and a training course in The Art and Technology of Perfumery.

Background

In 1971 Dowthwaite started as an apprentice at Picot Laboratories in London, England. Picot was one of the last perfume houses in the UK to create, compound, package and distribute their own fragrances. He trained under the perfumer Kenneth Burrows, and ex-Guerlain compounder Brian Maquaire.  He later worked in milled soap manufacture and became manager of the cosmetic chemistry department of Grossmiths Co. Ltd. From there went on to become a perfumer at R. Sarant & Co. Ltd. and then Norda Schimmel Co. Ltd. Between 1979 and 1988 he had two careers, as a London Metropolitan Police officer and a freelance perfumer working with several companies, notably Quintessence Fragrances Ltd., suppliers to the Body Shop and Cosmetics-To-Go (now Lush).

He states that police training was a major influence on his perfumery career using the systems he had learned as a policeman and applying them to perfumery creation and manufacture. Using a fusion of this systematic approach to perfumery with computer programming wrote the perfume creation software "The Perfumer's Workbook" which generates perfume formulations from odour descriptions.

In 1989, Dowthwaite moved to Bangkok, Thailand and set up agencies for Quintessence Fragrances Ltd., including training the sales staff of agents. In 1991, he set up the fragrance division of Adinop Co. Ltd., the first perfume compounding facility in Thailand, using a forerunner of the ABC's of Perfumery system for creation and manufacture. From 1996 under the sponsorship of The National Science and Technology Development Agency Dowthwaite worked with Thai-China Flavors and Fragrances Co. Ltd. and Guanghouz Baihua Flavours and Fragrances Co. Ltd. as assistant director, perfumer, technical consultant and trainer.

PerfumersWorld
In 1998, he formed PerfumersWorld to distribute the newly launched The Perfumer's Workbook. Due to the high demand for more information about perfumery creation, launched a series of e-learning and university courses and later workshops in The Art and Technology of Perfumery.

As of 2014, Dowthwaite has over 300 fragrances currently on the market, most of which are for toiletries, cosmetics and functional products. He is the creator of the Fleuressence range of speciality bases used in the "iSniffs" 7-step perfume creation system. He is also responsible for many natural aromatherapy blends used in spas and wellness products in over 30 countries.

title: Lime Lake (Michigan)

text:
Lime Lake is a freshwater lake located in Cleveland Township, Leelanau County, Michigan, approximately two miles north of the Village of Maple City, Michigan.

The lake is located in a basin setting of wooded rolling sand hills approximately  south of Good Harbor Bay and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.  The M-22, a State of Michigan scenic heritage route, skirts Lime Lake to the north.

Description
The lake is approximately  long, from south to north, and  wide, from east to west, and  at its deepest.  It covers .

Lime Lake is part of the Good Harbor Bay watershed.  In addition to a number of small creeks and springs, it is fed by Lime Creek at the southwestern corner of the lake.  Shetland Creek flows out of the north end of the lake and into Little Traverse Lake, and from there Shalda Creek flows out of Little Traverse Lake and into Good Harbor Bay on Lake Michigan.

Migratory fish from Lake Michigan have access to Lime Lake through this connection when there are no beaver dams or other natural obstructions.  Chinook salmon have been observed spawning in Lime Creek.

Lime Lake has a healthy fish community with abundant species diversity including brown trout, largemouth bass, northern pike, and smallmouth bass.

The south and north ends of the lake feature lowland swamps dominated by cedar, hemlock, and birch trees.  Rolling hillsides to the east and west feature upland hardwoods and conifers.

Teichner Preserve, a  parcel located on the northeast shore of the lake, was gifted to the Leelanau Conservancy in 1996.  Open to the public, a trail and boardwalk lead through extensive wetlands and forested lowlands to the lake shore.

The Lime Lake Association is the riparian association representing property owners on Lime Lake.

Lumber-era history
In the late 19th century the lumber industry dominated the area. The Lime Lake Lumber Company mill was constructed around 1880. Timber harvested from the surrounding land was cut at the mill, and then hauled down a 3-mile plank road to Good Harbor Bay for shipping. The northeastern corner of the lake has some slabwood remnants easily visible on the shallow bottom.

Geological history
Lime Lake is a glacial lake, formed by natural and geologic forces.

With the re-treat of the Laurentian Glacier, approximately 11,000 BP (before present), and the ice burden gone, the Earth’s crust in the northern part of the region began to rise.  Over time the shoreline of the proglacial Lake Algonquin Lake Algonquin evolved with long peninsulas and bays becoming truncated from the main body lake to form separate lakes.

At Good Harbor Bay, Lime Lake as well as neighboring Bass and School lakes, all at an elevation of , were closed off early during the Lake Algonquin stage (about 7,000 years ago).
During the Lake Nipissing stage (about 6,000 to 4,000 years ago), a crescent-shaped belt of dunes closed off Little Traverse Lake.

title: Privy Councillor Simon Heinrich Sack Family Foundation

text:
The Privy Councillor Simon Heinrich Sack Foundation or Hofrat Simon Heinrich Sack'sche Familienstiftung (as it is named in German) was founded by Simon Heinrich Sack, son of the royal court chaplain Friedrich Ernst Sack from Hecklingen. After his studies in Law in Halle and Frankfurt/Oder at the age of 27, he became Court and Justice Councillor in Glogau and Privy Councilor (Hofrat) to Frederick the Great. As a lawyer he enjoyed the trust of the Schlesien nobility and due to his integrity and impartiality became involved in the difficult ownership changes and after the Schlesien Wars and the Seven Years' War he was able to accrue considerable wealth.

Person und Family of the Foundation

Simon Heinrich Sack was not married and therefore had no children of his own. He did apparently have an illegitimate child with his housekeeper Anna Maria Biesler (1735–1799) (although the identity of the actual mother is still a matter of dispute and no exact records have been found). Her name was Louise Ernestine Biesler (1757–1831) and Simon Heinrich raised her as a foster daughter adopting her legally in 1774. She later married the Privy Councillor Carl Cramer from Glogau and thus took the name of her husband, "Cramer“.

After the death of his oldest brother in 1777, the preacher Friedrich Leberecht Sack from Pasewalk, Simon Heinrich Sack took over the care of his brother's children.

Establishment of the Foundation
Simon Heinrich Sack established the foundation in 1781 for the benefit of the descendants of his father, Friedrich Ernst Sack (1676–1783) (Ernestinian Line), August Friedrich Wilhelm Sack (Wilhelm Line) as well as of his adopted daughter Louise Ernestine Cramer (1757–1831) (Cramer Line).

In the year 1789 the foundation was recognized by "landesherrlichen Konsenz" (state agreement). Since 1945 its official seat is in Bückeburg

Despite the loss of the majority of its assets, the foundation still exists today and is administered by the descendants of the founder. It regularly publishes the so-called 'Silberne Buch der Familie Sack' (Silver Book) which records the history of the foundation and the family genealogy with the records of some 17,500 descendants

The foundation is particularly important because, due to the vast amount of wealth involved, it attracted the interest of the King of Prussia who wanted to appropriate its funds for the war effort against Napoleon. The initial assets were some 247,747 Thaler and the Count of Hoym who administered royal affairs in Silesia had a mathematician calculate that, as the number of initial beneficiaries was so small, the interest would accrue to the extent that in a few decades the assets would exceed those of the State of Prussia. A long process of negotiation with the King concluded with half the assets being kept for beneficiaries and the remainder was used to build the first state 'Werksschulen' in Silesia, thus paving the way for state education. This event was referred to as the Embarras de richesses (embarrassment of riches).

The Foundation Today

The archives of the foundation are stored and partially displayed at the Prussian Museum in North Rhine Westphalia in Germany. The most famous artifact is the painting by Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein: Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1776–1810), since 1793 wife of Frederick William III of Prussia. (1770–1840.

The Family magazine 'Die Taube' (The Dove) which has been almost continually published twice per annum since 1886 is still published today in both German and English. The latest edition of the 'Silver Book' was published in 2010 and included the data on over 17,500 descendants and was of some 566 pages, 310 x 230 mm.

title: Christene Palmer

text:
Christene M. Palmer is a retired Australian singer and actress, known for her performances in the contralto roles of Gilbert and Sullivan's Savoy operas with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company during the 1960s.  Her performance as Katisha in The Mikado is preserved in the D'Oyly Carte 1967 film version of that opera.

Life and career
Palmer was born in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. During high school she studied singing, piano and harmony before going to Melbourne for further voice training and joined the Oriana Madrigal Choir. In 1952 she was a semi-finalist in the Star for Opera Quest for the Royal South Street Society. The following year, she entered the Mobil Quest singing competition organised by the Vacuum Oil Company. In 1958 and 1960, she sang roles with the Elizabethan Opera Trust and solos at the annual Bach Festivals in Melbourne.

Palmer moved to London in 1961 to study at the National School of Opera there and performed on the concert stage and in opera, and was in the Glyndebourne Festival Opera chorus for two seasons, before joining the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1965. She was with D'Oyly Carte for six years, singing the contralto roles in all nine of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas performed by the company during her tenure (The Sorcerer was not performed by the company until just before she left in 1971). These roles were:  Little Buttercup in H.M.S. Pinafore, Ruth in The Pirates of Penzance, Lady Jane in Patience, the Queen of the Fairies in Iolanthe, Lady Blanche in Princess Ida, Katisha in The Mikado, Dame Hannah in Ruddigore, Dame Carruthers in The Yeomen of the Guard, and the Duchess of Plaza-Toro in The Gondoliers. At the same time, she occasionally performed in concerts with Gilbert and Sullivan for All.

Palmer married Norman Wilfred Wright in 1970, who also appeared with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company as a tenor in the chorus, from 1969 to 1971, and then with other opera companies. They have 3 children together, Stephen (born 1971), Chris (born 1974), and Catherine (born 1977) Wright. The family moved to Australia later in the 1970s, then returned to the UK in 1980 and settled in Nuneaton, where they directed productions for amateur opera companies, including the Coventry Savoyards. Wright performed with the Magic of Gilbert and Sullivan concert group and taught singing.

Recordings, film and television
Palmer sang the same roles in the D'Oyly Carte television production of Patience (1965), the animated film version of Ruddigore (1966) and the 1967 film version of The Mikado. In 2000 she appeared in the documentary Together Again: A Tribute to Kenneth Sandford, John Reed, and Thomas Round.

In D'Oyly Carte recordings, she sang her usual roles in Princess Ida (1965), Pirates (1968) and Pinafore (1971).  She also sang Lady Sangazure in the company's recording of The Sorcerer, a role that she never played on stage.  She participated on two D'Oyly Carte highlights discs, A Gilbert and Sullivan Spectacular in 1965, and Songs and Snatches in 1970.

title: Ben, in the World

text:
Ben, in the World is a novel written by Doris Lessing, published in 2000, in which she stages a parody of the 'objectivity' of the narrator's voice. The story delves into the life of Ben Lovatt following the events of the first book dedicated to this character, The Fifth Child.

Plot
Ben, in the World takes place a number of years after the events in The Fifth Child.

In the beginning of Ben, in the World, Ben Lovatt is 18 years old and living with an elderly lady named Mrs. Biggs. However, she cannot afford to support the both of them, and sends Ben to his estranged family to ask for his birth certificate so that he can get unemployment benefit. By the time Ben returns (without the birth certificate), Mrs. Biggs has been hospitalised. She returns home but needs to be nursed by Ben, but they cannot survive for long on her pension alone. He leaves to find somewhere else to stay.

He returns to Rita, a sex worker he has seen several times previously, and who was attracted to his primal nature. Johnston, her procurer, does not like Ben, but knows Rita cares for him.

Johnston comes up with a plan to use Ben to smuggle a large amount of narcotics into France, which would give him and Rita enough money to permanently get off the streets. Johnston also sees this as an opportunity to get Ben out of their lives by leaving him in France, a plan that Rita is aware of, and objects to, but ultimately doesn't do anything about. The plan succeeds, and Ben remains France under the temporary care of Richard, one of Johnston's men, in an expensive hotel, with a cut from the smuggling deal.

Although Richard comes to like Ben, and stays with him a little longer than planned, he ultimately leaves Ben in the hotel with two weeks paid in advance. Ben meets Alex, an American film producer who is drawn to Ben, and decides to make a film about him, with a theme around what he sees as primitive tribes. To save money he decides to set the film in Brazil, as he knows many people there who may fund it. He takes Ben to Rio de Janeiro and introduces Ben to Teresa, an actress who is Alex's girlfriend when he stays in Rio.

Alex goes into the jungle with his co-writer, leaving Teresa and Ben in a flat in Rio. Teresa grows attached to Ben, and introduces him to several friends, including Inez, who is privileged and works in a compound as a scientist. Alex stays longer and longer in the jungle, slowly abandoning his original idea for the movie, along with the inclusion of Ben in the story.

Inez introduces Ben to scientists from the compound at the flat, who see him as a throwback, and want to study him. Initially they have Teresa convince Ben to go for voluntary testing at the compound. When Ben becomes agitated, reminded of the testing and abuse suffered in the institution setting of The Fifth Child, he and Teresa refuses any further tests.

Unable to convince the pair to cooperate with the tests, Ben is kidnapped and caged with animals in a laboratory. Teresa rescues him with the help of Alfredo, who works at the compound and is an emerging love interest for Teresa.

After being rescued, Ben is in despair about his repeated poor treatment and abandonment by those who say they care for him. Alfredo, in an attempt to cheer him up, claims to have seen people like Ben before, which excites Ben, who wants to be taken to see them.

The group trek into the mountains to see Ben's people. As it turns out, those people are only rock paintings. Ben is the only person of his species still alive - he is a step backwards in evolution. The crushing despair Ben feels leads him to throw himself off the edge of a cliff.

Characters
Ben Lovatt. The fifth child of Harriet and David Lovatt, born different.
The Lovatts. Ben's family. Consists of his mother Harriet, father David, and his siblings Luke, Helen, Jane, and Paul.
Mrs. Biggs. An elderly woman who looks after Ben for a while.
Rita. A courtesan that Ben becomes interested in.
Johnston. The owner of a minicab company and Rita's pimp.
Alex. A film director and producer interested in making a movie about Ben.
Teresa. A courtesan turned actress interested in helping Ben.
Inez. Teresa's friend, and a scientist with a keen interest in Ben.
Alfredo. The man sent by the Scientific Institute to convince Ben to submit to testing, who eventually turns traitor and takes Ben to see 'his people'.

Reception
In his review for The New York Times, Michael Pye said the book "lets you see things as Ben sees them, as you have not seen things before. The book shares that uncanny effect with the best fiction." In her analysis of Lessing's experimental comments on literary genre, Susan Watkins argues that by exaggerating the picaresque, Lessing forces her readers "to ask a series of questions about the meaning of the distinction between the animal and the human." Watson finds that Ben is "a marginal figure, critical of society but unable to find a place outside it", like a picaro hero. Lessing uses the figure of Ben "as a way to comment on a society experiencing intense social upheaval." While the traditional picaro is a semi-outsider, Ben is much more isolated. Furthermore, it is far more in doubt if he is able "to survive by his wits and turn a series of exploitative situations to his advantage (another feature of the genre)." Watkins observes that in Ben, in the World prolepsis is used to a humorous effect by which the 'objectivity' of the narrator's voice is being parodied. The device of omniscience is exaggerated so that the reader is made to see how naïve it is to believe in what the narrator relates. Another effect of this is, according to Watson, that the reliability of perception is questioned and that any 'commons sense' judgments about Ben's alleged difference from others are called into doubt.

By its depicting an outsider, Ben, in the World has recently been seen as comparable to Bartleby, the Scrivener (1853) by Herman Melville, to The Metamorphosis (1912) by Franz Kafka, to The Stranger (1942) by Albert Camus, to Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) by George Orwell, to The Bluest Eye (1970) by Toni Morrison, and to Unaccustomed Earth (2008) by Jhumpa Lahiri.

Civil War career
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, McBlair resigned from the U.S. Navy, to take effect from 22 April 1861.

title: I'm Not the Only One

text:
"I'm Not the Only One" is a song recorded by English singer Sam Smith from their debut studio album, In the Lonely Hour (2014). It was written by Smith with Jimmy Napes, who also produced the song along with Steve Fitzmaurice. Capitol Records released it to digital download on 31 August 2014 as the album's third single  in the United Kingdom and on 24 September 2014 as the album's second single in the United States; an alternative version with American rapper A$AP Rocky was also released.

A piano soul ballad, anchored by orchestral strings and a gospel structure, "I'm Not the Only One" deals with themes of infidelity in a relationship and was inspired by a marriage of someone Smith and Napes knew. It received a positive response from critics, who praised their emotional vocals and its instrumentation. Commercially, the song was another success for Smith, becoming a top-three hit in the United Kingdom, a top-five hit in the United States, and a top-ten hit in over ten countries. A music video featuring actors Dianna Agron and Chris Messina was released on 1 August 2014 and it features content similar to the song's lyrics.

Background and release
After the success of previous singles, "Money on My Mind" and "Stay with Me" on the UK Singles Chart - with both becoming number-one singles, while the latter a worldwide hit - Smith announced that "I'm Not the Only One" was going to be the album's third single and that it would be released on 31 August 2014 to digital download in the United Kingdom. They chose the song to be released as a single since it was one of the songs that both they and their fans loved. They commented: "I just wanted to bring out a song that is classic and that had longevity to it. If you listen to the record, there's a few songs on there I actually think would be safer bets to go in terms of radio, but I wanted to make a statement. I also want people to know that I'm not just doing it to have big radio hits. I want people to buy into the album and I feel like 'I'm Not the Only One' is an album-seller." On 10 September 2014, a remix version of the song featuring American rapper A$AP Rocky was released worldwide through online music stores. Smith recalled that Zane Lowe called them and left a voice mail on their phone telling them the song was a hip-hop track and that he needed a rapper on it, and inspired them to get a rapper and show a different side of the music. The song was released as the second single in the United States, being serviced first to adult alternative radio on 24 September 2014 and later on 1 October 2014 to hot adult contemporary and contemporary hit radio. In Brazil, the song was part of the international soundtrack to the telenovela Babilônia (2015).

Composition
"I'm Not the Only One" was written by Sam Smith with Jimmy Napes, who was also responsible for the song's production along with Steve Fitzmaurice. The latter also recorded and mixed the song at The Pierces Room, London, while the song's strings were arranged and conducted by Simon Hale. The piano-led, marching midtempo soul ballad has strings, drums, piano, percussion, bass guitar and guitar as its main instrumentation with a gospel structure. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is composed in the key of F major with a tempo of 82 beats per minute. Smiths's vocals range from the note of F3 to C5. They admitted that they recorded the song when they were hungover, calling their vocals "hungover vocals". As Smith explained in a track-by-track commentary for Digital Spy, "Napes played the chords one day and I was obsessed with them. We wrote a completely different song on top of those chords and it wasn't very good, so we scrapped it. Then two weeks later, I just loved the chords so we returned to them, and then we wrote 'I'm Not The Only One' in like an hour."

Lyrically, "I'm Not the Only One" talks about infidelity and betrayal in a relationship, where someone decides to stay with a partner they know was cheating on them. In the chorus, Smith admits: "You say I'm crazy/'Cause you don't think I know what you've done/But when you call me baby/I know I'm not the only one". Smith revealed to Lewis Corner that the song was the only one on the album that is not about their life, but a marriage they observed first-hand, where they put themselves into the woman's shoes. They added: It came really naturally! The person I wrote it with, we both knew them and we just vibed off each other. We both had really strong opinions on what the woman was doing. It's quite a complex song. When you listen to it you think it's just bashing a guy for cheating, but it's not, it actually talks more about how the woman's a mug. She knows she's not the only one, but she's never going to leave. I think that's wrong.

Critical reception
The song received positive reviews from most music critics. Harley Brown of Billboard praised the track, calling it "[t]he first turning point of the record [...] where Smith goes home, dries off, and picks himself back up." Brown also added that "[t]he violins surging behind the breakdown are so high-pitched they practically sting." Lily Moayeri of The A.V. Club calling it one of the album's driving forces, noting that it "illustrates this with sophisticated piano and escalating strings." Ryan Lathan of PopMatters observed that "the charming 'I'm Not the Only One' confidently struts out from the rest of the set. An obvious candidate for future single, it’s the type of track that elicits head bobbing and finger snapping the second it begins." Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone called it "gorgeously bruising", while Andy Kellman of AllMusic picked it as one of the album's best tracks. Eric Davidson of CMJ thought that "[t]he Al Green vibe of 'I'm Not The Only One' has a verging-on-stern sentiment couched in a deeper groove that seems like a good direction Smith could head in."

In his review for Consequence of Sound, Sheldon Pearce called it "a two-stepping delight despite its somber tone." Adam Workman of The National noted that the song "really stands out among hackneyed lyrical content on love and longing; his high-pitched vocal extremes and fairly basic grasp of rhyming couplets both soon begin to rankle, too." Ben Kelly of Attitude opined that the song is "the album's bluesy moment" [...] "echo[ing] of Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, with Sam's strong falsetto running free as ever." Maeve Heslin of Hot Press labelled it "laidback, funky soul at its finest." Paul Cantor of Vibe praised the song's "lush and expansive" arrangements, called it a "notably highlight" and noting that it is "brought to life by Smith's clever vocal arpeggiations and phrasings." Rachel Sonis of Idolator defined it as "a jazzy, soothing, coffee shop-ready number that sticks to the album's 'quiet moments in life' theme", noting similarities to Adele's melancholic approach and praising the song for "show[ing] off his precious pipes more than ever before."

Commercial performance
Following the success of their breakthrough single "Stay with Me", "I'm Not the Only One" found chart success in several countries. In the United Kingdom, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number ninety-three, when the album was released on the week of 1 June 2014, before it re-entered at number sixty-nine on the week of 10 August 2014. It kept climbing the charts in the following weeks until it reached a peak of number three on the week of 14 September 2014. By reaching number three, the song became the album's third top-three hit for the singer, whose last two singles from the album reached number-one. In Ireland, the song reached number six, becoming their third top-ten hit. In Europe, the song also reached the top-ten in Denmark, Italy and Netherlands.

In the United States, "I'm Not the Only One" shared similar success. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty-nine, during the same week where "Stay with Me" was in the top-ten and "Latch" was reaching the top-twenty. It later reappeared at number ninety-three, and within four weeks the song climbed to number twenty-five, becoming that week's biggest gain in digital sales. The following week, the song reached number twenty, marking their fastest flight to the top-twenty (seven weeks) among his four entries. Four weeks later, the song climbed to number nine, thus earning Smith their third top-ten single in the same year (2014). With three top ten singles, Smith became the only male to achieve the feat in 2014 and the third overall artist with the most top ten singles of 2014, along with Iggy Azalea, who also scored three, and behind Ariana Grande, who had four. It eventually peaked at number five, becoming their second top-five hit.

In Australia, the song failed to reach the top-ten by one position, reaching its peak at number eleven, ending their streak of consecutive top-five singles, but in New Zealand the song peaked at number three, earning their second consecutive top-three single. The song was certified 10× platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association and 2× Platinum by Recorded Music NZ. In Brazil, the song was their first top-forty hit, reaching its peak at number thirty-nine. The song was also successful in South Africa, where it reached the top of the charts, and South Korea, where the international song peaked at number one.

Music video

The official music video for "I'm Not the Only One" was directed by Luke Monaghan, who also worked with Smith on the video for "Leave Your Lover", and it was filmed in Los Angeles on 8 July 2014. The music video features Glees Dianna Agron as a scorned bride and The Mindy Projects Chris Messina as the cause of and cure for her heartache. As Smith revealed: "I’m a huge fan of both of them. I thought I had my dream team around me." Agron revealed that she "tweeted Sam a long time ago and told him how important it was that I discovered his music. He tweeted me back, and we started messaging each other. Then the video happened, and we've become friends." Smith also claimed they wanted to "bring the song to life a bit more'" and "strike a nerve with a certain group of people". It was released to Smith's YouTube/VEVO channel on 1 August 2014.

The cycle of infidelity is the main theme of both the video and the song. It starts with a shot of the couple's house with Agron telling Messina that she made him breakfast, but he says he is in too much of a rush to eat it. She walks him out, and then he goes straight to a bar and does shots with his mistress, while Agron's character drinks alcohol and pieces together her husband's indiscretions. While Smith performs in the saloon, Agron proceeds to uncork a bottle of white wine in the middle of her neighbourhood liquor store, drink away her problems, and then eventually set fire to Messina's possessions. At the end of the video, she welcomes him back home as if nothing had happened.

As of January 2023, the video has received over 1.5 billion views.

Usage in media
The song is featured in the television shows The Flash and Suits.

title: PLO Negotiations Affairs Department

text:
The PLO Negotiations Affairs Department (NAD) was established in 1994 in Gaza in order to follow up on the implementation of the Interim Agreement signed between Israel and the PLO. Until mid 2003 the NAD was headed by President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), then Secretary-General of the PLO Executive Committee. After President Abbas was selected by the Palestinian Legislative Council in April 2003 to become the first Palestinian Prime Minister, Dr. Saeb Erekat, former Minister for Local Government and Chief Palestinian Negotiator was nominated as Head of the NAD by the PLO.

The NAD has two offices – one in Gaza and a second in Ramallah. The NAD office in Gaza is composed of units responsible for Israeli affairs, Israel’s violations of signed agreements, Israel’s colonization (illegal settlement policies), and Palestinian refugees. The Ramallah office is responsible for following up on the Interim Agreements and preparing Palestinian positions for the Permanent Status talks with Israel. The office is therefore structured into six units: Israeli Affairs, Research and Information, Interim Agreement, Permanent Status, Public Relations, and Administrative and Finance.

The Negotiations Support Project
In late 1998 the NAD approached the Government of the United Kingdom seeking technical assistance to its preparations for Permanent Status talks. The U.K. Department for International Development consequently agreed to support the establishment of the Negotiations Support Project in Ramallah. The purpose of the Negotiations Support Project is to provide highly professional legal, policy and communications advice to the NAD and Palestinian negotiators in preparation for, and during, Permanent Status negotiations with Israel. Following the collapse of formal negotiations at the outset of 2001, an additional purpose of the project is to encourage the resumption of Permanent Status negotiations by contributing to a variety of diplomatic initiatives aimed at bringing the two sides back together.

Following the establishment of the Negotiations Support Project, the governments of Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden also agreed to support the project. Since that time, these five governments have continuously provided funding to the project and have committed to doing so until today.

The Negotiations Support Project has two main departments: the Legal & Policy Department and the Communications Department.

The Legal & Policy Department has three objectives. The first is to strengthen and refine existing Palestinian negotiation positions. The second is to develop new positions where no policy previously existed. The third is to contribute to interim initiatives intended either to lead Palestine and Israel out of the current political crisis and towards resumption of permanent status negotiations or to minimize the damage inflicted by continuing Israeli actions on the likelihood of a fair and sustainable outcome to permanent status negotiations. The Department provides advice on the permanent status issues (security, settlements, Jerusalem, refugees, borders and water), as well as other issues (economic relations, compensation, agriculture, tourism, health, transport, energy, telecommunications and archaeology).

The Communications Department aims to explain and increase support for the Palestinian positions on permanent status issues and interim initiatives, to mobilize local and international civil society organizations to undertake advocacy on behalf of those positions, and to overcome misperceptions held by the Israeli public concerning Palestinian goals and intentions towards Israel. In essence the Department publicizes and explains Palestinian negotiation positions in order to confront and balance out alternative misleading narratives, thereby creating an atmosphere that will both allow negotiations to occur and increase the likelihood of a fair and sustainable outcome. The Department achieves its goals through a range of communications activities such as providing briefings to international journalists, parliamentarians and representatives of civil society; facilitating their access to the PLO leadership; providing communications advice to that leadership; publishing fact sheets, maps, and newsletters on key topics; maintaining the website of the NAD; lobbying editorial boards of international media organizations to ensure accurate reporting; building an email distribution list for NAD materials, and undertaking outreach activities in the United States, Europe and Israel.

Activities
In November 2008, PLO's Negotiations Department published ads promoting the Arab Peace Initiative in Israeli dailies. According to Yossi Alpher it was the first time a leading Arab institution published a "peace ad" in the Israeli press. In response, the Israeli activist group Peace Now published ads in Palestinian press.

title: 2014 NRL Grand Final

text:
The 2014 NRL Grand Final was the concluding and premiership-deciding match of the 2014 NRL season. Played on the evening of Sunday 5 October 2014 at ANZ Stadium, the match was contested by the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. South Sydney won the match with a decisive 30 points to 6 victory, ending a 43-year premiership drought by claiming their 21st title. South Sydney forward Sam Burgess, who suffered a broken cheekbone from the game's opening tackle, was awarded the Clive Churchill Medal as the best player on ground.

The match was preceded by the 2014 National Youth Competition Grand Final and the 2014 NRL State Championship. British-American musician and songwriter Slash and American alternative rock band Train performed at the event as pre-match entertainment, and Simon Gleeson performed the Australian National anthem. The match was broadcast live throughout in Australia by the Nine Network.

Background

History
Founded in 1908, Souths had won more premierships—20—than any other club. However, they had not appeared in a Grand Final since 1971. Over the subsequent decades, the club had battled financial problems before being excluded from the National Rugby League competition ahead of the 2000 season due to a failure to meet the league's criteria for inclusion. After litigation and high-profile public campaigns, the club was readmitted into the competition for the 2002 season.

For Canterbury, founded in 1934, the Grand Final was the club's 18th. Their most recent Grand Final appearance was a 2012 defeat to Melbourne, with their last premiership coming in 2004 against the Sydney Roosters.

The clubs had met each other in just one previous Grand Final in 1967, with South Sydney prevailing 12-10.

2014 season
South Sydney finished the regular season in third position, before defeating Manly and the Sydney Roosters in the finals series. Canterbury finished in seventh place, and made the grand final after successive sudden-death victories over Melbourne, Manly and Penrith.

Both sides had met each other twice during the course of the season, in rounds 7 and 25. The two teams were tied 1 apiece, with Canterbury winning the first encounter 15-14, and South Sydney winning the second encounter 21-14.

Teams

Both teams' first choice hookers were ruled out from playing in the week leading up to the Grand Final:
For South Sydney, Issac Luke was suspended for a dangerous throw in the Preliminary Final against Sonny Bill Williams of the Sydney Roosters and was replaced by Apisai Koroisau.
For Canterbury, captain Michael Ennis withdrew after suffering a fractured foot in the Preliminary Final against the Penrith Panthers; he was replaced by Moses Mbye as hooker, and the captaincy was shared between James Graham and Trent Hodkinson.

Match report

The first half of the match was a low-scoring affair. There was only one try—to South Sydney's Alex Johnston—while Adam Reynolds kicked a penalty goal to give Souths a 6–0 half-time lead.  Canterbury equalised ten minutes into the second half through a converted try to Tony Williams. George Burgess restored Souths' lead shortly thereafter, before further tries to Kirisome Auva'a, Reynolds and Greg Inglis in the final ten minutes of the match. The final score was Souths 30, Canterbury 6.

Souths' Sam Burgess played the entire match, despite fracturing his cheekbone and eye socket in contact in the opening tackle with James Graham. He was awarded the Clive Churchill Medal, as the man of the match in the grand final.  Souths player Dave Tyrrell was stretchered from the field after he was knocked out in the 68th minute following a head clash with Canterbury player James Graham.

Fullback Greg Inglis, who scored the final try of the game in the final minute of play, won his first valid premiership ring after previously featuring in the Melbourne Storm's 2007 and 2009 sides which had their premierships stripped from them due to salary cap breaches.

title: James Kay (golfer)

text:
James Kay  ( – 18 April 1927) was a Scottish professional golfer who played during the late 19th century and early 20th century. He served as the head professional at Seaton Carew Golf Club from 1886 to 1926, a remarkable 40 years of service. He had two top-10 finishes in the Open Championship. His son Andrew was also a professional golfer.

1892 Open Championship
Kay placed tied for 5th place in the 1892 Open Championship. The 1892 Open Championship was the 32nd Open Championship, held 22–23 September at Muirfield in Gullane, East Lothian, Scotland. Harold Hilton, an amateur, won the Championship by three strokes from another amateur, John Ball, and two professionals—Sandy Herd and Hugh Kirkaldy. This was the second win by an amateur following Ball's victory in 1890.

Career at Seaton Carew Golf Club
Very few golf clubs can claim to have had a golfing legend as their long-term professional, but an exceptional example is that of Seaton Carew Golf Club where Kay served as the head professional for a remarkable 40 years.

Kay, born in Lieth, Scotland in 1855, was engaged by Seaton Carew as their professional on 1 May 1886 following the resignation of Tom Park, a member of the famous Park Scottish golfing family. It was Kay's playing record that elevated him above his peers. Press reports of the time show that Kay played in a total of 22 Open Championships, qualifying in 20 and twice finishing in the top six in the 1892 Open at Muirfield and 1893 Open at Prestwick. On 8 June 1908 he also represented his homeland when he played for Scotland in an international match against England at Prestwick Golf Club.

In May 1909—at the age of 53—Kay won the Leeds Cup, a tournament for professional golfers; this is currently the oldest tournament in professional golf worldwide. It was presented to the Professional Golf Association on its formation in 1901 by Alderman Penrose-Green, Lord Mayor of Leeds and President of Leeds Golf Club to be competed for annually by professional golfers. The first competition was held in 1902 at Leeds Golf Club and Kay was one of its earliest winners. Contemporaries record that Kay was "a veritable demon on the green and extremely adept at laying a stymie and therefore as might be guessed was a very fine match player."

Kay played in an era when most of golf's professional players made their money through "money matches" and this was where Kay came into his own especially when playing against the top golfers of his era. Pride of place must go to his performances against the Great Triumvirate of golf. J. H.Taylor, James Braid and Harry Vardon. Many of these memorable matches being reported in newspaper articles of the day that are in the club's historical archive. In 1895 Kay defeated the then Open Champion, Taylor, who had just retained his prestigious title on the Old Course at St Andrews. The match, over 36 holes, took place on 16 June and although the respective scores were equal, James Kay beat his illustrious opponent by one hole.

On 22 September 1900, Kay exacted a similar outcome on Braid, although at that time Braid hadn't yet recorded any of his five Open Championship victories. Vardon was the only member of the Great Triumvirate to actually get the better of Kay on his home course, when he won 6 and 5 on 8 September 1898. In August 1898, Kay—in an Open Professional tournament at Earlsferry and Elie links—was second only to Vardon, then Open Champion, beating all other leading professionals including Braid, Taylor, Herd and Kirkaldy. But, eventually around the time of his Leeds Cup win, Kay exacted his revenge on Vardon in an exhibition match at Whitby, defeating Vardon by two holes in a 36-hole exhibition match. Not that these money matches were played in anything but the spirit of friendly rivalry as can be detected by Vardon's comment in his 1905 book "The Complete Golfer" where he tells how advice from his friend James Kay of Seaton Carew helped him win the 1896 Open Championship.

Given such a remarkable playing record it's not surprising that Kay was held in great esteem by the club's members, and on 20 July 1911 the Committee agreed to mark the great man's service of 25 years. A total of £23.8s.6d was raised by subscription and a tea and coffee service was presented to him at the club's annual general meeting. Some 14 years later the committee had more serious matters to contemplate, namely James Kay's retirement, but the matter was deferred for a further 12 months. On 9 December 1926, after long and serious discussion, it was finally resolved that a change in the professional was necessary. Inquiries were made as to Kay's financial status and it was decided to award him a pension and elect him as an Honorary Member of the club. A gift of £200 was also presented, following another subscription, and Kay's employment came to an end after 41 years.

Golf course designer
James Kay was himself a notable course designer; the Seaton Carew records show that he was charged with creating four additional holes which were opened on 4 August 1891. The club records of golf clubs such as Bishop Aukland Golf Club, Middlesbrough Golf Club and Beamish Park Golf Club record Kay's involvement in their design and subsequent works. There are likely to be a number of other clubs which benefited from Kay's advice.

Death
Shortly before his retirement Kay was helping his former assistant to chop up some old railway sleepers, for use as fuel in the clubhouse, when he got a wood splinter in his right thumb. He developed blood poisoning, his condition gradually worsened, and on 18 April 1927 Kay died. His funeral was attended by fellow professionals, Seaton Carew members, and staff from the club acted as pall bearers. The body of this golfing legend was finally laid to rest in Seaton Carew parish churchyard and he is commemorated in the name of the club's old course 8th hole which is named "Jimmy Kay".

title: 325th Division (Vietnam)

text:
The 325th Infantry Division is a division of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), first formed in March 1951 from independent units in Thừa Thiên, it is likely that it only became fully operational in mid-1952. It was one of the 6 original "Iron and Steel" Divisions of the Viet Minh.

First Indochina War
In December 1953 the 325th took part in the Viet Minh probe into Laos.

In late December 1953 seven battalions from Regiment 101 of the 325th and Regiment 66 of the 304th Division moving from Vinh attacked isolated French outposts in the Annamite Range in Annam and Central Laos.

Vietnam War
In early 1961 the Division was sent to Laos to support Pathet Lao forces and on 11 April captured Tchepone. This secured an essential area for the expansion of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

The Division's 95th Regiment arrived in Kon Tum Province in December 1964. In February 1965 the 95th was joined by the 101st Regiment.

U.S intelligence indicated that the 325C Division was operating in the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone by July 1967.

On 3 February 1968, a battalion of the 325C attacked the Marines on Hill 861A north of Khe Sanh Combat Base, the attack was repulsed with 7 Marines and 109 PAVN killed. On the night of 6/7 February, the 101st Regiment and the 22nd Regiment (attached to the 304th Division), supported by 12 PT-76 lights tanks of the 203rd Armored Regiment overran the US special forces camp at Lang Vei killing 316 of the camp's defenders including seven Americans for the loss of 90 PAVN killed and seven tanks destroyed. On 8 February a reinforced Battalion of the 101st Regiment attacked a 9th Marines' position west of the Combat Base, 21 Marines and 150 PAVN were killed.

On 12 July 1972 the Division together with the 312th Division was sent to support the Second Battle of Quảng Trị.

On 15 May 1974 the Division's 95th Regiment attacked Dak Pek Camp overrunning one of the last Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) bases on Route 14.

On 17 May 1974 PAVN 2nd Corps was formed comprising the Division, the 304th and 324th Divisions, the 673rd Air Defense Division, the 164th Artillery Brigade, the 203rd tank Brigade, the 219th Engineer Brigade and the 463rd Signal Regiment under the command of Major General Hoàng Văn Thái.

As part of the Hue-Da Nang Campaign on 19 March the Division and the 324th Division attacked the ARVN 1st Division and the 15th Ranger Group along Route 1 south of Huế. On the afternoon of 22 March the 324th pushed the 15th Rangers out of Phú Lộc cutting Route 1 and forcing the ARVN forces to withdraw back to a defensive line around Phu Bai Combat Base On 24 March all ARVN forces were ordered to abandon Huế and regroup in Danang, a disorganised seaborne evacuation followed and by 25 March the PAVN was in control of the city.

For the attack on Danang, by 26 March the Division advanced from the north, the 9th Regiment of the 304th was located northwest of Danang, while the rest of the 304th and 711th Divisions encircled from the south and the 3rd Regiment of the 324th was located southwest of the city. By the afternoon of 29 March the 2nd Corps had penetrated the ARVN defences and entered the city which finally fell on 31 March.

On 16 April the Division's 101st Regiment captured Phan Rang and then after defeating several ARVN counterattacks captured Phan Rang Air Base. On 18 April the Division's 18th Regiment captured Phan Thiết.

By 26 April the Division and the 304th Division were attacking Route 15, the last overland link between Saigon and Vung Tau. On 29 April the Division attacked Nhơn Trạch District, Thuy Ha and Cat Lai southwest of Saigon.

Present Day
Today the division remains part of the 2nd Corps.

title: Tribal (Imelda May album)

text:
Tribal is the fourth studio album by the Irish rockabilly musician Imelda May, released on 25 April 2014 on Decca Records.

Originally slated for a summer release, Tribal was recorded at Livingston Studios in London with producer Mike Crossey. The album features a more uptempo style of rockabilly in comparison to May's previous releases, with several critics drawing comparisons to the psychobilly punk band the Cramps and artists such as the B-52s. The album was supported by two singles: "It's Good to Be Alive" and "Wild Woman".

Upon its release, Tribal received generally favourable acclaim and placed in several international charts—including Ireland, where it debuted at number 1; the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 3; and New Zealand, where it placed in the top 20.

Release
Tribal was announced for release in early 2014. In the original announcement the album was planned for release in June 2014, although the official date was moved forward and Tribal was released on 25 April on Decca Records. The album was made available on CD, LP and as a digital download. Tribal is due to be released in the United States on 23 September on Verve Records.

Two singles were released from Tribal. Its lead single, "It's Good to Be Alive", was released on 1 March 2014; the song had debuted prior to its official release when May performed it on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno in November 2013. The album's second supporting single, "Wild Woman", was released on 18 April 2014.

Reception

Upon its release, Tribal received largely positive acclaim from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 71, based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favourable reviews". AllMusic writer Matt Collar awarded Tribal three-and-a-half out of five stars and referred to the album as her "call to arms; her statement of purpose", comparing it to material by Bow Wow Wow, the Cramps and the B-52s. Writing for the Guardian, Caroline Sullivan said that "in May's hands, rockabilly is a feral form, vitally alive and compelling" and surmised that "[Tribal] is no time capsule; it's fresh and bracing" in her four out of five star review. In a three-star review for the Independent, Andy Gill noted that on Tribal May is "still indulging the boisterous rapscallion character suggested by titles like 'Wild Woman', 'Hellfire Club' and 'Gypsy In Me'", adding that "there's sweetness to balance the earthier aspects". Hot Press rated the album three-and-a-half out of five stars.

The Irish Times reviewer Tony Clayton-Lea describe the Tribal as "an astute mix of signature creative riffs … blending film noir-like theme songs with burning and emotive torch ballads", rating the album four out of five stars. Phil Mongredien of the Observer was more critical towards the album writing in his review that although "May [is] an engaging and entertaining storyteller on the more breakneck material", her performance on the album's ballads and low-tempo tracks "are less distinguished" and "more delicate than memorable". He awarded the album three out of five stars. PopMatters writer Steve Horowitz said in a seven out of ten review that May "ferociously attacks the lyrics" on Tribal, "growling and stuttering as needed to reveal the urgency exploding inside of her. Meanwhile, the guitars swirl and the drums pound to create the whirlwind in which May operates." Rating the album four of five in State, Graham Mooney concluded that "with Tribal, Imelda May continues to impress and surprise in equal measure" and referred to the album as "the strongest collection of songs [she] has assembled to date."

title: Karl Racine

text:
Karl Anthony Racine (born December 14, 1962) is a Haitian-American lawyer and politician. He was the first independently elected Attorney General for the District of Columbia, a position he held from 2015 to 2023. Before that, he was the managing partner of Venable LLP. As Attorney General, Racine received national attention for his work on antitrust matters, and in 2021 launched an eventually-dismissed antitrust lawsuit against Amazon.

Early life and education
Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Racine and his family fled the François Duvalier regime and emigrated to Washington, D.C., when he was three years old. He attended public schools until eighth grade and graduated from St. John's College High School, and was a star high school basketball player.

Racine attended the University of Pennsylvania and became the team captain of the basketball team. He led the team to two Ivy League championships and made the second team all-Ivy League two times.

Racine then went to the University of Virginia School of Law, where he worked at a pro bono clinic representing migrant farm workers. He said he was drawn to the law because of the role lawyers played in advancing civil rights. While in law school, he and his mother produced the first Haitian Creole/English legal dictionary, intended to aid Haitian immigrants in the United States.

Legal career
After graduating from law school in 1989, Racine joined Venable LLP but left in 1992 to become a staff attorney at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia. He then returned to private practice at Cacheris & Treanor, where he handled large white-collar and civil cases, and later served as associate White House counsel in the Clinton administration. In addition, he served as a member of the D.C. Judicial Nomination Commission, a selection panel for judges. Racine returned to Venable in 2000 and was elected managing partner in 2006, becoming the first black managing partner of a top-100 law firm.

He led the team representing food services corporation Sodexo in a class action racial discrimination suit brought by over 2,500 African American employees, one of the largest such suits brought after the 1991 amendments to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

From 2011 to 2012, Racine represented D.C. Councilmember Harry Thomas Jr., who pleaded guilty after a protracted investigation to diverting $300,000 in grants earmarked for charity and youth baseball groups to pay for personal luxury items. During sentencing, Racine successfully argued that Thomas deserved a lighter sentence because his guilty plea was an example of his commitment to teaching the District's youth how to "take responsibility when you have done wrong." Racine later said Thomas "needed counsel to represent him zealously" and told possible critics, "I would represent them if, God forbid, they made significant mistakes, errors and violated the law."

In July 2014, Racine led an inquest into state-issued credit card spending by members of the Board of Education in Montgomery County, Maryland, finding no evidence of intentional wrongdoing but recommending that access to the cards be revoked.

Following his tenure as D.C. Attorney General, he joined law firm Hogan Lovells as a litigation partner.

D.C. Attorney General

Elections
In July 2014, Racine announced his candidacy for D.C. Attorney General, prompting friend and fellow prominent white-collar attorney Mark Tuohey to drop out of the race and endorse him, saying he "has all the qualifications."

On November 4, 2014, Racine became the first elected Attorney General for the District of Columbia, beating out four other challengers with 37% of the vote.

In September 2017, Racine announced he would run for reelection. Racine won reelection in the May 15 general election with 93% of the vote against Libertarian candidate Joe Henchman. Racine was mentioned as a possible candidate for mayor in 2022, to challenge incumbent Mayor Muriel Bowser., but decided not to run.

Racine did not seek reelection as the city's Attorney General in 2022.

Tenure
As Attorney General, Racine has established four priorities for the DC Office of the Attorney General: data-driven juvenile justice reform, protecting consumers from abusive tactics by unscrupulous businesses, preserving affordable housing and protecting tenants in communities across the District, and advancing democracy and safeguarding public integrity. Following the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, Racine urged Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment in order to remove President Donald Trump from office, declaring him "disinterested  in upholding the duties of his office".

In line with these priorities, Attorney General Racine helped end mandatory shackling of juveniles appearing before D.C. Superior Court and expanded options for rehabilitating low-risk juvenile offenders. A diversion program that helps these young people get and stay on the right track has achieved a success rate of nearly 80 percent. Under Attorney General Racine, OAG has increased participation in the program five-fold, positively impacting young lives and increasing public safety.

In 2015, Attorney General Racine established a standalone Office of Consumer Protection within OAG focused on outreach, education and legal actions to protect consumers. He has brought tens of millions of dollars to the District through settlements and judgments in cases against corporate wrongdoers. In 2017, Racine established the Public Advocacy Division to bring affirmative litigation to preserve affordable housing, protect residents against wage theft, safeguard the environment and ensure public integrity.

in 2019, Racine's office sued DoorDash for not paying customers' tips to delivery drivers. DoorDash used the tips to offset the "guaranteed amount" it paid drivers for each delivery, despite wording on its mobile app and website that said tips would be added to drivers' earnings, which Racine called "deceptive" and a violation of the District's Consumer Protection Procedures Act. DoorDash's settlement with the Attorney General's office required DoorDash to maintain a policy that tips would go to drivers without offsetting their guarantee amount. The settlement also required DoorDash to pay $1.5million to drivers who had made deliveries in the District while the tipping policy had been in place and to give $250,000 to local charities.

In 2021, Racine launched an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon, which was subsequently dismissed in court in March 2022. Known for his work on antitrust matters, in 2021 he was considered for a position on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) by President Joe Biden.

Personal life
Racine served as a board member of the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, as a member of the steering committee of the Whitman-Walker Clinic's Legal Services Program, and as a board member of the local literacy organization Everybody Wins.

He has also been active in aiding his native Haiti, raising $125,000 from Venable's lawyers, staff, and foundation to support relief efforts after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and raising money for the Haitian Education and Leadership Program (HELP).

Racine lives in Palisades. He is dating attorney Kimberly Stietz of law firm Covington & Burling. They have sons Karim  (2020)  and Kayleb (2021)  together.

title: Stiff + Trevillion

text:
Stiff + Trevillion is a London-based architectural practice founded in 1981 by Michael Stiff and Andrew Trevillion. By 2014, the firm had 40 staff members and had worked on over 2,000 projects. Designing both buildings and interiors their work covers the commercial, residential, restaurant and retail sectors, primarily in London but also across the UK and overseas. Some of their projects include the first Wagamama restaurant in 1992 and the first in the chain of Giraffe Restaurants. They have also designed various Italian restaurants for Jamie Oliver. Their residential clients have included Adele and Blur (band) and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn.

Background
Michael Stiff and Andrew Trevillion were graduates when they founded Stiff + Trevillion in the spring of 1981. In 1991 Stiff and Trevillion designed the first Wagamama restaurant in Bloomsbury which opened in 1992. After Wagamama was finished the practice was asked to create a restaurant with a similar concept of Japanese dining called Satsuma. The dark-stained timber back wall and the black and white terrazzo floor reflected Japanese and Scandinavian influences.

Stiff and Trevillion have designed a few buildings abroad. One of their projects was designing Aspria Health Club in Hamburg. They collaborated with Colwyn Foulkes & Partners to fit out a large building. The architects created a two-storey enclosure within the space, the overall approach was to give a sense of arrival to a welcome hub, providing glimpses of the sporting activities on offer.

Stiff and Trevillion were chosen to design Jamie's Italian flagship restaurant in Bath. This subsequently led to the firm designing a Jamie's Italian in Guildford and in other cities across the UK.

Further work for clients has included Portobello Dock for Derwent London who acquired the site in 2004. Stiff and Trevillion were commissioned to refurbish the building on the north side of the canal and to revitalise the nineteenth century dock site with a mixture of restaurant, office and residential buildings. They completed the construction on the building in 2008.

In April 2010 the practice designed the office interiors for Innocent Drinks after winning the competitive creative pitch. In 2012 the practice designed the new interiors for the food and drink chain Eat (restaurant).

The practice won a competition in early 2010 to design and implement the new concept of the Metropolitan Costa Coffee. The aim was to refresh the brand image through interior design, emphasising the use of the existing elements such as exposed brick walls and ceilings coupled with concrete flooring and statement lighting.

The architect's completed Sloane Street for the Cadogan Estate in 2016. Stiff and Trevillion have designed 5,500sq m of retail space across the ground floor. The other five floors are office spaces.

title: Cantherhines macrocerus

text:
Cantherhines macrocerus, commonly known as the whitespotted filefish or American whitespotted filefish, is a marine fish found along the coast of Florida extending southward into the Caribbean. This species is distinct and separate from Cantherhines dumerilii, the similarly named whitespotted filefish which is found in the Indian and Pacific oceans.

Description

The American whitespotted filefish typically has a brown or olive colored body, although it may also be grey.  These fish can rapidly change appearance to a high contrast color pattern with a much darker background and many light colored spots With a maximum length of around 18 inches, they are smaller than the scrawled filefish which is also found in their range.  The American whitespotted filefish is often seen in pairs.

Diet
These fish are omnivorous; although they eat animals like sponges, stinging coral and gorgonians, and algae.

As aquarium fish
The American whitespotted filefish can be kept in large aquariums.  These fish are non-aggressive, need plenty of places to hide, and will eat brine shrimp, krill and algae.
