title: Battle of Morales

text:
The Battle of Morales was fought on 2 June 1813. It was a cavalry skirmish between the Duke of Wellington's vanguard and the rear guard of the French army. It occurred near the village of Morales which is in the vicinity of Toro, Zamora in Spain. General Digeon commanded the French cavalry and Colonel Grant the British hussars, although Major George Robarts was the one who gave the order to charge.

Considered a victory for the British, the French cavalry then retreated upon their own retreating infantry and the British cavalry without infantry support were unable to continue the attack.

title: Daniel Theis

text:
Daniel Theis (born 4 April 1992) is a German professional basketball player for the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). After seven seasons in the Basketball Bundesliga where he was a four-time All Star and three-time champion, Theis signed with the Boston Celtics of the NBA where he played for four seasons before a trade brought him to the Chicago Bulls in March 2021. The Bulls traded Theis to the Houston Rockets in August 2021, who in turn traded Theis back to the Celtics in February 2022, before being traded to the Indiana Pacers in July 2022. With the Celtics, he reached the NBA Finals during his second stint with the team.

Early life
Born in Salzgitter, Theis went through the Braunschweig youth system.

Professional career

Phantoms Braunschweig (2010–2012)
Theis made his debut in the German top-tier level league, the Basketball Bundesliga, during the 2010–11 season. Theis primarily gained playing time with Braunschweig's development squad, where he played alongside his older brother, Frank, from 2010 to 2012. He earned the Eurobasket.com website's All-2.Pro B Most Improved Player of the Year honors in 2011. In Braunschweig, Theis was also a teammate of fellow future NBA player Dennis Schröder.

Ratiopharm Ulm (2012–2014)
In the 2013–14 season, while with Ratiopharm Ulm, Theis won the BBL Best Young Player award.

Brose Bamberg (2014–2017)
Following his breakout season with Ulm, Theis signed with fellow German Bundesliga club Brose Bamberg. In the 2014 off-season, he played in the 2014 NBA Summer League for the Washington Wizards' summer league team.

In the 2014–15 season, Theis won his first German League championship with Brose Baskets. Brose beat FC Bayern Munich 3–2 in the German League Finals. In April 2015, he signed a fresh two-year deal with the Bamberg team, and he won two more German championships with Bamberg, in 2016 and 2017.

Boston Celtics (2017–2021)
On 20 July 2017, Theis signed with the Boston Celtics. He made his NBA debut on October 18 against the Milwaukee Bucks. On 12 March 2018, Theis suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee, and missed the remainder of the 2017–18 season after Theis repaired his left knee lateral meniscus in a surgery.

On 29 October 2018, Theis was found to have a slight tear of the plantar fascia in his right foot and was scheduled to be out indefinitely, but he returned shortly after the injury on 11 November vs. the Portland Trail Blazers.

On 17 July 2019, the Boston Celtics announced that they had re-signed Theis, along with former Brose Bamberg teammate Brad Wanamaker. The contract was reported to be worth $10 million in total for the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons.

Two thirds through the season, on 21 February 2020, Theis had a career-high 25 points and 16 rebounds in a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Celtics coach Brad Stevens said that Theis complemented the rest of the starters, playing in a way that "fits the other guys perfect."

Chicago Bulls (2021)
On 25 March 2021, Theis was traded to the Chicago Bulls in a three-team trade involving the Washington Wizards. By 12 April, he had worked his way into the starting lineup against the Memphis Grizzlies. On 26 April Theis scored 23 points and had 12 rebounds and 5 assists in a 110–102 victory against the Miami Heat.

Houston Rockets (2021–2022)
On 7 August 2021, Theis was traded to the Houston Rockets via a sign-and-trade deal.

Return to the Celtics (2022)
On 10 February 2022, the Boston Celtics re-acquired Theis from the Rockets in exchange for Bruno Fernando, Enes Freedom, and Dennis Schröder. Theis and the Celtics reached the NBA Finals, but lost to the Golden State Warriors in 6 games.

Indiana Pacers (2022–present)
On 9 July 2022, Theis was traded, alongside Nik Stauskas, Aaron Nesmith, Malik Fitts, Juwan Morgan and a 2023 first-round pick, to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Malcolm Brogdon. On 2 February 2023, after missing over 50 games due to knee surgery, Theis made his Pacers debut against the Los Angeles Lakers. On 13 February, against the Utah Jazz, Theis recorded a season–high 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists as the Pacers starting center. Theis spent the season as a mentor and backup to Myles Turner, Jalen Smith, and Isaiah Jackson before falling out of the Pacers rotation.

National team career
Theis was a member of the junior national teams of Germany. With the Germany U20 national team, he played at the 2011 FIBA U20 European Championship, and the 2012 FIBA U20 European Championship.

On 27 July 2014, Theis made his first appearance with the senior Germany national team in a game against Finland.

title: William Walton (writer)

text:
William Walton (1784–1857) was an English writer on Spain and Portugal.

Life
William Walton, consul for Spain in Liverpool, he was sent to Spain and Portugal at an early age to study the languages and train for a business career. Thence via the Spanish American colonies, he became secretary to the British expedition which captured San Domingo from the French in 1802. He remained there as British agent, returning to England in 1809.

Living first in Bristol, and then in London, Walton concentrated on writing about the contemporary politics of Spain and Portugal. For the most part he advocated against the policy pursued by the British ministers. He took an interest in the question of naturalising the alpaca, and wrote essays on the subject, the last being in a competition for the medal of the Highland and Agricultural Society in 1841.

Walton died in Oxford on 5 May 1857.

Walton was a prolific writer. His main works were:

 The present State of the Spanish Colonies, including an Account of Hispaniola, London, 1810.
 An Historical and Descriptive Account of the Four Species of Peruvian Sheep, London, 1811.
 An Exposé of the Dissensions of Spanish America, London, 1814.
 The true Interests of the European Powers and of the Empire of Brazil in reference to … Portugal, with other pamphlets, London, 1829.
 Letter to Viscount Goderich respecting the relations of England and Portugal, London, 1830. This was one of a number of letters to statesmen.
 Spain, or who is the lawful Successor to the Throne?, London, 1834.
 Legitimacy the only Salvation of Spain, London, 1835.
 Revolutions of Spain, London, 1837.

title: Franklin Community

text:
The Franklin Community was the first American Owenite community established in New York state. Founded in 1826 two miles from the Hudson River near the town of Haverstraw in Rockland County, the enterprise stumbled in its first year of existence and was terminated later that same year.

History

Background

The arrival of Welsh social reformer Robert Owen on American shores in the fall of 1824 was met with public curiosity and expectation. Owen's ideas about the relationship between human behavior and happiness and the material conditions of their existence were familiar to intellectuals in the United States from about 1817, when they were publicized in various British reviews. In response, those favoring the communitarian ideal had established an organization called the New York Society for Promoting Communities, a group headed by a Quaker apothecary named Cornelius C. Blatchly. It would be Blatchly and his associates who would welcome Owen to New York on November 4, 1824, presenting the visitor with a copy of the group's 1822 publication extracting Owen's writings, Essay on Common Wealths.

A great popular interest surrounded Owen's arrival and subsequent announcement that he had purchased an entire established community in the state of Indiana from the Harmony Society for $140,000, with a view to establishing a model community to test his social theories in the crucible of practice. Despite — or perhaps due to — the distance between New York and the Owenite example on the American frontier in Indiana, interest grew in establishment parallel communities elsewhere.

Despite the existence of the New York Society for Promoting Communities, it would not be the formal authority behind the creation of an Owenite colony; instead it would be a group of committed freethinkers from the New York City area, including atheist leader George Houston, who had previously suffered imprisonment in England for his anti-deist writings.

Establishment

In the spring of 1826 the Franklin Community was founded, with a preparatory constitution approved in March and a site selected the following month. The site selected was located about two miles from the Hudson River near the town of Haverstraw in Rockland County, New York. Included were 120 or 130 acres of farmland, with a purchase price of $16,000 or $18,000 stipulated. The enterprise was named in honor of Benjamin Franklin (1709-1790), one of the founding fathers of the American republic.

George Houston was named secretary of the new Owenite community. Families began to move in immediately, beginning to farm the land early in May 1826. Many believed that their so-called "sweat equity" (to borrow a modern phrase) would be sufficient to attain membership in the community. Deprived of access to Robert Owen's purse, the fledgling community found it difficult to raise funds, only managing to raise the necessary one-third downpayment on June 23, 1826. A financial restructuring was required and the constitution was altered shortly thereafter to require a cash payment in exchange for community membership — a change which resulted in the great unhappiness of early participants, who felt themselves cheated and robbed of their pioneering labor.
190 years later the house stands today in the town of Haverstraw on the outskirts of the village of West Haverstraw.  An article exists in the local paper titled "The short and unhappy life of a backwoods Utopia" by Isabelle Savell

Adding to the discord was the arrival of Houston and his atheist associates, who immediately set about secularizing the community's schools, encouraging Sunday labor in violation of Biblical precepts, and establishing a "Church of Reason" — backing their actions with anti-religious quotations from Robert Owen's written works.

Termination and legacy

Underfinanced and wracked with discord, the Franklin Community failed about five months after the launch of the venture.

Former secretary of the Franklin Community George Houston would found a new rationalist journal in January 1827, called The Correspondent. Houston would be joined in his editorial task by Abner Kneeland, whose subsequent trial for blasphemy would prove to be one of the landmark political events of the decade of the 1830s.

title: Nikolaos Tzafouris

text:
Nikolaos Tzafouris (; 1468–1501), also Niccolo, Niccolò, Niccolö, Zafuri, Zafuris, was a Greek Renaissance painter.  He was one of the founders of the Cretan School.  He was influenced by Angelos Akotantos.  His works influenced Emmanuel Tzanes, Elias Moskos, Georgios Klontzas and Theodoros Poulakis.  Tzafouris was one of the most respected artists in Crete.  His most notable work is Madre della Consolazione.  The painting exhibits a combination of Byzantine and Italian styles.  Another notable painter in Crete around the same time was Andreas Pavias.  According to the Institute of Neohellenic Research, thirteen paintings are attributed to Tzafouris.

History

 Nikolaos was born in Crete. He was influenced by Angelos Akotantos.  The artist traveled to Venice to continue his painting education.  He was exposed to the works of Giovanni Bellini and may have trained with him.  He returned to Crete towards the end of his life where he had a successful workshop.  His workshop mass-produced icons.  He painted a new style Madonna called Madre della Consolazione which was considered the Italian style and was the standard for the next hundred years.  He also emulated Bellini's Pieta which was also heavily copied.

Historians have records of the painter's activities in Crete between 1487 and 1501 involving economic affairs.   In 1492, he worked with famous Greek painter Georgios Vlastos and the sculptor Nikolaos Varvarigos.  The artists worked on a Catholic church in Nafplio called  Pala D'altare.  Regrettably, nothing from the church survived.   The existing documents notate Tzafouris had a workshop in Heraklion.  Tzafouris painted religious themes for local churches.   He died in Heraklion around 1501.  Tzafouris was mentioned in a will found in Venetian archives on February 23, 1537.

Five of his signed icons survive. His works followed the maniera greca tradition but also exhibited qualities of Byzantine paintings and frescos.  Many Cretan painters began to adopt a style mixing Byzantine and Italian techniques. One work executed by Nikolaos Tzafouris was a triptych Pietà with Saints Francis and Mary Magdalen which can be found at the Ashmolean Museum. Another example of signed icon from Nikolaos Tzafouris, Christ Bearing the Cross,  is in the collection of Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC.

title: Barbu de Grubbe

text:
The Barbu de Grubbe, , is a breed of bantam chicken from Belgium. It is a true bantam, and has no full-sized counterpart; males weigh about 700 grams and hens about 600 g. It is a tail-less variant of the Barbu d'Anvers, and is otherwise similar to it in every respect. The same colour varieties are accepted for the Barbu de Grubbe as for the Barbu d'Anvers.

History

In about 1904 a tail-less Barbu d'Anvers was born to the breeder Robert Pauwels, creator of the Barbu d'Everberg breed, at his breeding farm in the municipality of Kortenberg, between Brussels and Louvain. By careful cross-breeding he created a good number of such tail-less birds, which were seen at many exhibitions up to the time of the First World War. The name Barbu de Grubbe was given to the breed. After the War they were not again seen for several decades.

In 2012 a total of 170 breeding Barbu de Grubbe birds were counted in Belgium. The breed is rare, and is considered to be "in danger"; the conservation status of many other Belgian bantam breeds is classed as "critical". The Barbu de Grubbe is regularly seen at poultry exhibitions in the Netherlands, and has since 2008 been recognised in Germany. In the United kingdom it is classed among the true bantams.

Characteristics

The Barbu de Grubbe is identical in all respects to the Barbu d'Anvers, except that the tail and coccygeal bone are absent.

Use

The Barbu de Grubbe is an ornamental breed, kept mainly for fancy. Hens lay small creamy-white eggs weighing about .

title: Simon Garber

text:
Simon Garber (born 1966) is president and CEO of several taxi cab companies including Yellow Cab SLS Jet Management Corp in New York City and Chicago Carriage Cab Company in Chicago. Garber's companies are estimated to have the highest number of medallions in both Long Island City and Chicago, earning Garber the nickname of "Taxi King". Garber's cab companies have been involved in several scandals including the illegal use of salvaged police cars in the Chicago fleet and overcharging cab drivers in New York for leasing a medallion. In 2009, Garber founded the International Polo Club of Colts Neck near his residence in Colts Neck, New Jersey.

Early life
Simon Garber was born in 1966 in Odesa, Ukraine. In 1978, Garber immigrated with his parents to New Jersey where his father was a sheet-metal worker and his mother was a nurse. Garber reports that he initially had difficulty with bullying in school, until he joined a group of Lubavitchers who paid for him to attend a Jewish day school and helped him get a summer job at a Jewish camp.

Career
Garber started driving taxi cabs in New York City at the age of 18 to help pay for college, eventually owning two cabs. Soon he was buying and selling New York medallions (city-regulated individual permits to operate a cab) for a profit. Garber has claimed to be the holder of the most New York medallions, with over 400 to his name, though the state's Attorney General office has stated that he only controls 275.
In 1992, Garber became friends with Russian politician Vladimir Slutsker while on vacation in Monaco. Through Slutsker, Garber was introduced to several Russian high-ranking officials. Three years later, Slutsker convinced Garber to start the company Moscow Taxi with Garber's brother-in-law Eduard Sheinen. Using his political ties, Garber's business eventually grew to over 2,500 vehicles before a weak Russian economy forced the company to downsize the fleet.
While in Russia in 2001, Garber became friends with Patrick Daley, the son of long-time Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley. City officials tightly regulate all aspects of medallions ownership, granting permission to purchase medallions on an individual basis. Within a year of meeting Patrick, Garber quickly acquired over 300 Chicago taxi medallions. Garber also hired Mayor Daley's former chief of staff Gery Chico as a City Hall lobbyist. In 2003, Garber used this political capital to start the Chicago Carriage Cab Company and was granted permission to operate the taxi business in Chicago. Within six years, the Chicago Carriage Cab Company had amassed over 800 medallions, making it the largest taxi company in the city.

Michael Cohen and Garber were associates together with large interests in taxi companies in the United States.

Interests
Garber enjoys playing polo and has a training area on his 10-acre estate in Colts Neck, New Jersey. In 2009, Garber founded the International Polo Club of Colts Neck, which is located in New Jersey. Garber's polo teams are sponsored by his taxi companies, and compete in events worldwide.

Controversy

Illegal use of salvage vehicles as taxis
In 2010 city officials in Chicago investigated claims that some of the taxis in the city had been previously categorized as salvage vehicles (typically an insurance designation meaning the vehicles were damaged enough that it would cost more to fix the vehicle than the intrinsic worth of vehicle). Chicago law prohibits operating any vehicle as a taxi that was once deemed a salvage title. Chicago investigators found over 340 vehicles, of which 183 vehicles belonged to Garber's Chicago Carriage Cab Company. Garber had bought salvaged police cars, cleaned the titles of the salvage designation, and then illegally added the vehicles to his fleet. City officials fined Garber and his business associates up to $50,000 per vehicle for a total of $9 million. Garber's 183 salvage vehicles represented approximately 20% of his entire fleet. The prosecutors also estimated that many of the cars had been in service for up to 4 years prior to the investigation. Additionally, the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper investigated 100 of Garber's taxis from other fleets not associated with Chicago and found that 23 had previously been designated as salvage titles. The newspaper stated that it was unknown whether those vehicles were still in circulation. More details of the salvage scheme (and further implication of Garber's involvement) became available through the 2014 trial of one of Garber's business partners, Alexsandr Igolnikov, who was convicted of conspiracy as well as interstate transportation and possession of false automobile titles. Igolnikov was responsible for purchasing the salvage vehicles, repairing them, and then working through corrupt auto brokers to obtain clean titles from Indiana or Illinois. Once the new titles were secured, the salvaged vehicles were painted maroon and entered into Garber's taxi fleet as well as other fleets co-owned by Garber and Igolnikov. Igolnikov would repair and paint the vehicles in a garage owned by Garber.

Improper charging of taxi operators
On August 12, 2014, the Attorney General along with the Taxi and Limousine Commission for the state of New York announced that Garber's Yellow Cab SLS Jet Management Corp. had agreed to pay approximately $1.6 million in restitution and fines for overcharging cab drivers that leased vehicles from Garber. The taxi drivers who leased through Garber were required to pre-pay to lease the taxi, but did not provide a way for this to be done. If the taxi driver did not pre-pay, the driver was assessed a "late fee" at the time of payment, effectively ensuring that a late fee was included on every lease agreement. A few drivers reported that when they contacted the company for an explanation of the late fees, they were told that the fee was for leasing a hybrid fuel car, which is illegal in the state of New York. The Attorney General estimated that Garber's practice had overcharged approximately 2,000 taxi drivers. As part of the settlement, Garber agreed to pay approximately $1.4 million in restitution to the taxi drivers and $200,000 in fines and fees.

Employment of taxi drivers with a history of repeated vehicle citations
In 2012 the Chicago Tribune found that Garber's Chicago Carriage Cab Company had repeatedly employed cab drivers with a history of repeated moving vehicle violations. One such driver, Rida Lemghari, had been given 46 citations, of which he was found liable in 33 cases. Five of these citations occurred over a three-month time period, during which Lemghari was driving for Garber's company. Additionally, from 2006 to 2008, Lemghari collected 14 total citations while driving in Garber's taxis. Lobbying by the taxi industry enabled the inclusion of language in a repeat-offender law that allowed officials to voluntarily not enforce the law on a case-by-case basis. Unenforced regulation of repeat offenders allowed Garber to continue to employ these drivers, and when the investigation was announced, Garber did not face any sanctions.

Ethan Brown founded the company in 2009 with the stated mission of combating climate change. Brown initially contacted two University of Missouri professors, Fu-hung Hsieh and Harold Huff, who had been developing their meatless protein for years.

Upon licensing Hsieh and Huff's technology, Beyond Meat launched its first product, Beyond Chicken Strips (originally called "Chicken-Free Strips"), at Whole Foods in 2012 and expanded nationally in 2013. In 2014, Beyond Meat developed its first plant-based beef product, Beyond Beef Crumbles, and has since expanded into plant-based pork. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) named Beyond Meat as its Company of the Year for 2013.

IPO and finance
Over the years 2013 to 2016, the company received venture funding from GreatPoint Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Obvious Corporation, Bill Gates, Biz Stone, the Humane Society and Tyson Foods. Tyson Foods purchased a 5% stake in Beyond Meat in October 2016, but sold its 6.5% stake and exited the investment in April 2019, ahead of the company's initial public offering.

By 2018, Beyond Meat had raised  million in venture financing. Beyond Meat is also backed by celebrity and athlete investors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Chastain, Snoop Dogg, Liza Koshy, Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Hopkins and others.

In May 2019, Beyond Meat went public and trades on the United States Nasdaq exchange under the symbol BYND. It is the first plant-based meat analogue company to go public. On the day of its IPO, the company was valued at $3.8 billion and was the best-performing public offering by a major U.S. company in almost two decades. As of June 2021, Beyond Meat had a market cap of $9.44 billion. In November 2020, Beyond Meat announced sales had only grown by 2% year-on-year compared to an expected increase of 40% due to the impact of COVID-19 on foodservice sales. Beyond Meat shifted its focus to grocery, convenience stores, and other forms of distribution during the COVID-19 pandemic. By September 2022, the stock price had fallen to an all-time low, that was 93 % lower than the all-time high set in July 2019 and 74 % lower than at the start of 2022. In October 2022, the company announced a 19 % workforce reduction, or approximately 200 employees, due to revenue declines.

Manufacturing
In the United States, Beyond Meat has several manufacturing facilities in the United States, including in Columbia, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. In June 2018, Beyond Meat opened its second production facility in Columbia, Missouri, resulting in a three-fold increase of the company's manufacturing space. In 2020, Beyond Meat acquired a manufacturing facility in Devault, Pennsylvania. In Europe, Beyond Meat has two facilities in the Netherlands: a co-manufacturing facility in Zoeterwoude owned and operated by Dutch company Zandbergen, and an owned facility in Enschede. These two facilities service the distribution network across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

In China, Beyond Meat operates an owned manufacturing plant in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. It is the company's first "end-to-end manufacturing facility" outside of the United States and began full-scale production in 2021.

Research and innovation
In 2018, Beyond Meat opened a  R&D lab in El Segundo, California. In January 2021, Beyond Meat announced that it will be opening a new global headquarters in El Segundo, CA later that year. The company says the facility will house three to four times its current number of R&D team members once the campus is complete.

Joint ventures and distribution
In July 2019, Dunkin' Donuts announced that they would begin selling breakfast sandwiches using the Meatless Sausage product in Manhattan, with plans for national distribution beginning on 6 November 2019.

In November 2020, Beyond Meat announced a collaboration with McDonald's for development of the McPlant option, a plant-based patty and chicken substitute. It started testing the McPlant in Denmark and Sweden in February 2021.
Beyond Meat also announced the launch in China of a plant-based version of minced pork.

In 2020, Beyond Meat launched an e-commerce site to sell products directly to consumers.

In January 2021, Taco Bell announced a collaboration with Beyond Meat, initially as a test and then as a permanent option for a new plant-based protein food.

Also in January 2021, Beyond Meat and PepsiCo announced a joint venture, called The PLANeT Partnership, to develop and market plant-based snacks and drinks.

In February 2021, Beyond Meat started a partnership with McDonald's and Yum Brands. These deals will bring new choices to the food menu, such as the McPlant Burger and the plant-protein based pizza toppings, chicken alternatives and possibly taco fillings for Yum Brands' restaurants KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Testing of the McPlant burger by McDonald's in the USA ended in July 2022 after poor sales in 600 restaurants, but the product is sold in several European countries.

In September 2021, Beyond Meat announced it would begin selling their vegan chicken tenders in retail stores, including Walmart.

Civil suit
In March 2019, a civil suit was filed against Beyond Meat by its former business partner and supplier, Don Lee Farms. This was prompted by Beyond Meat's switch to different suppliers, with whom they then shared details about the manufacturing process. Don Lee Farms alleged breach of contract, and further alleged that they had expressed "significant concerns" about food safety protocols for raw materials produced at Beyond Meat's facility which were then given to Don Lee Farms for further processing.

Products

Chicken strips
The company's first product launched in 2012 was designed to emulate chicken and sold frozen. The product was licensed from Harold Huff and Fu-Hung Hsieh at the University of Missouri.  They were made from "soy powder, gluten-free flour, carrot fiber and other ingredients" which were mixed and fed into a food extrusion machine that cooks the mixture while forcing it through a specially designed mechanism that uses steam, pressure, and cold water to form the product's chicken-like texture. Although praised by some celebrities, journalists who tasted it said the "likeness to real chicken was tolerable, at best", and the chicken product was discontinued in 2019.

Beyond Burger

The company announced in 2014 that it had begun development of a new product emulating a beef burger, which was released in February 2015.

Ingredients
The burgers are made from pea protein isolates, rice protein, mung bean protein, canola oil, coconut oil, potato starch, apple extract, sunflower lecithin, and pomegranate powder. Beef products that "bleed" are achieved by using red beet juice. The products are certified as not containing genetically modified ingredients. The number of ingredients and processes involved in making the products mean they are classified as ultra-processed foods in the Nova classification.

One burger patty contains  of food energy, twenty grams of protein, twenty grams of fat (of which five grams is saturated fat) and one gram of salt. The protein and fat content are similar to a beef patty of a similar weight, but the salt content is "much higher". Nutrition of the burger varies according to the restaurant chain in which it is served.

Beyond Sausage
In December 2017, the company announced a vegan alternative to pork sausage called "Beyond Sausage". The three varieties of "sausage" were called Bratwurst, Hot Italian, and Sweet Italian.

Beyond Meatballs
"Beyond Meatballs", a plant-based alternative to traditional meatballs, were first introduced at Subway in 2019 through the Beyond Meatball Marinara sub. In September 2020, Beyond Meat announced the rollout of Beyond Meatballs at select grocery stores across the U.S.

Beyond Meat Jerky
Beyond Meat Jerky is the company's first shelf stable product and the first product produced with PepsiCo under the PLANeT Partnership.

Beyond Mince
In 2021, the Beyond range in the UK expanded to include 'Beyond Mince'.

Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina is an $88 million 3,023-seat performing arts facility. Its first public performance was a September 2021 concert which was followed by an official opening in November 2021. It replaces the 2,400-seat War Memorial Auditorium in the Greensboro Coliseum Complex; the auditorium was torn down in October 2014. The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro raised $35 million privately, to be paid over ten years. The city of Greensboro is paying $30 million. Construction was delayed a year so the foundation could get a $25 million bank loan to guarantee its contribution. The Greensboro Symphony and Guilford College's Bryan Series frequently use the facility. The facility will also hosts Broadway productions and concerts. The facility is named for Steven Tanger, CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, who pledged $7.5 million toward the project in 2013. After working for a year, a task force recommended a state of the art center in February 2013. Groundbreaking was held April 26, 2017 and the first work took place July 13.

History
In 2000, Greensboro arts groups wanted a new performance facility or changes to existing facilities which were inadequate. War Memorial Auditorium, with 2,400 seats, was too large for some events but had a small stage and orchestra pit as well as poor acoustics; Coliseum Managing Director Matt Brown had plans for $5 million in improvements but no funding. The Carolina Theatre downtown had only 1,100 seats. A preliminary study recommended a performing arts center with 1,700 to 2,000 seats, and a smaller 500-seat facility. The study also said the city had enough events for both existing and new facilities. Arts leaders wanted a more detailed study.

A 2001 downtown master plan estimated the cost of a new performing arts center at between $35 and $45 million. A feasibility study was done in 2004.

2006 and 2008 bond referendums to renovate were unsuccessful. In 2008, Brown said events were being lost to the Durham Performing Arts Center and that Greensboro was entitled to a facility of equal quality. Until that happened, the auditorium could be repaired as needed, but that would not be enough.

In January 2012, Brown asked the city council to consider a $36 million performing arts center to replace the auditorium, paid for with $25 million in bonds and $11 million in accommodations tax revenues. A Greensboro Performing Arts Center Task Force began meeting in February. At their first meeting, Interim City Manager Denise Turner Roth said a downtown location, which the city council wanted, would cost up to $15 million more, with $10 million of that amount coming from donations.

In June 2012, the task force recommended a 3000-seat $60 million facility downtown.

In 2013, Greensboro attorney Kathy Manning agreed to serve as chair to seek private funds for the performing arts center.

Originally, the city-owned former YMCA site was to be used but it was not enough. Land was purchased at North Elm and Lindsay Streets and Summit Avenue at a cost of $11.5 million.

During the closing ceremony for War Memorial Auditorium on September 4, 2014, Brown showed what the planned veterans' memorial would look like. Names of veterans shown on plaques at the auditorium would eventually go in the new memorial near the Tanger Center.

Because the Tanger Center is expected to lose money in its early years, a new premium parking lot at the Coliseum Complex will be used to help with operating expenses. Expected revenue from the lot is nearly $400,000 a year. A second, 250-space lot at the Tanger Center is expected to provide $675,000 per year.

On July 29, 2015, the city revealed the cost of the center would be $58 million, $8 million over the original estimate, and not including $11.5 million for the land. This was after cuts had been made, and more cuts were expected.

On December 8, 2015, the city council approved a plan to raise $11 million more for the center, after it became clear the original budget was already exceeded by more than $10 million. The Chamber of Commerce building would be replaced by VIP parking expected to provide $1.6 million. Private donors would be asked for $3.5 million more. Ticket service fees would be $1 more, and $1 less of the existing $3 service fee would go to arts groups, with each raising a projected $3.75 million over 25 years. Also, $4.4 million of the costs would be eliminated if possible. The city would also have to authorize $9,617,858 in bonds.

At a January 27, 2016 news conference, H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture showed designs for the exterior and lobby including a limestone and glass facade and lobby  art to be paid for by donations.

On February 17, 2016, Phillips Foundation announced a $1.5 million grant; this is in addition to a $3.5 million grant in May 2013, for which the 8000-square-foot lobby will be named Phillips Hall. $500,000 of this amount went for art installation.

Brown and others announced on December 16, 2016 that the $38.5 million fund-raising goal had been met and that $300,000 of the additional $3 million had been raised. Construction was expected to start in May 2017 and will be complete in early 2020. The 111,000-square-foot building will face Abe Brenner Place and occupy part of a 5.5-acre lot also bordered by North Elm and East Lindsay Streets and Summit Avenue. The 3000 seats will be white oak with red upholstery, and divided into lower orchestra, upper orchestra and balcony. A Founders Room will be available for events. The site will also have 329 VIP parking spaces.

As of March 8, 2017, the opening date of early 2019 was uncertain. Potential donors had been saying for several months that delays would result in their waiting to give their money.

Steven Tanger and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper attended the groundbreaking April 26, 2017. At the time, Brown predicted a June 2019 opening.

D.H. Griffin won the bidding for Phase I, which started July 13, 2017.

On December 19, 2017, the Greensboro city council awarded a $57.9 million contract to Barnhill Contracting Company of Raleigh, North Carolina. Work could start in January 2018, but this meant a completion date of January 2020. The project's total cost was $84.7 million, plus $5 million in financing costs. The Tanger Center would be collateral for $48 million in limited obligation bonds.

A web site was available and included what is described as a real-time camera permitting viewers to watch construction progress.

On March 13, 2020, it was announced that the center's opening would be put on hold due to statewide bans of gatherings consisting of more than 100 people due to the COVID-19 pandemic, effectively postponing or cancelling multiple opening events.

On December 1, 2020, the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra announced its first concert in the center would take place April 29, 2021. However, the first public performance at the center was a Rhiannon Giddens concert on September 2, 2021. The center's total cost was believed to be $88 million, not including financing costs. Tanger Center held an official opening ceremony November 15, 2021, that included the dedication of Genesis by Mabel Poblet, "nearly 200 strands of laser-cut, reflective metallic and clear acrylic discs ... from 6 inches to 24 inches in diameter" hanging from the ceiling of the lobby.

title: Typhoon (Bobbejaanland)

text:
Typhoon is a steel roller coaster at the Bobbejaanland amusement park in Lichtaart, Belgium. Typhoon is a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter model roller coaster, and the second installation of this model line. At 97 degrees, the coaster's first drop is steeper-than-vertical and it has the steepest drop of any roller coaster in Belgium.

History

Constructed by the German roller coaster manufacturer Gerstlauer, Typhoon opened on 10 April 2004 and was built to replace the Looping Star roller coaster at Bobbejaanland. Typhoon was the most popular roller coaster in the park as of 2010.

Layout and ride experience

Typhoon is a relatively compact roller coaster with a base of  by  with a maximum height of almost , which has been cited as being particularly small for a roller coaster with the number of inversions that Typhoon has. The Typhoon has four inversions: a vertical loop, double heartline roll and an additional single heartline roll. Typhoon has single cars which can each carry eight passengers (two rows of four people).

Incidents

There have been a number of publicized incidents involving riders becoming stuck on Typhoon. One incident occurred in May 2011 when four children and two teenagers were stuck on the coaster. The riders were eventually rescued and none were injured in the incident. In June 2013, eight riders were evacuated after another incident and were forced to use an emergency staircase to exit. Additional incidents occurred in both June and July 2014. In the June 2014 incident, the coaster was stuck on the top of the lift hill and riders were forced to evacuate using the emergency stair. In the July 2014 incident, the coaster was stuck near the end of the ride. Neither case resulted in any injuries.
