title: Apshawa Preserve

text:
The Apshawa Preserve is a 576-acre nature preserve in the highlands of northern New Jersey, United States. Located off Northwood Drive in West Milford, the preserve is managed by the New Jersey Conservation Foundation and by Passaic County. The preserve is mostly wooded with oak and maple.

The Apshawa is a brook, a tributary of the Pequannock River; it flows through the preserve and is dammed to form the 40-acre Butler Reservoir within the preserve. The reservoir once served to provide water to Butler. Apshawa Preserve includes a network of hiking trails and a 43-acre reservoir.

Since 2010 part of the preserve is protected by a gated deer fence to protect native plants that otherwise would be decimated by a high density deer population.

In September 2014, 22-year-old student Darsh Patel was mauled by a  black bear in the preserve and died. He was the first known person in New Jersey history to be killed by a black bear.

Location and access
The Apshawa Preserve is open year round from dawn to dusk for recreation, and can be accessed from 4 Macopin Road, West Milford. Onsite parking is provided in a gravel parking lot that is located off Northwood Drive (turn off of Macopin), where hikers will find a kiosk with trail maps as well as trailheads. Apshawa Preserve cannot yet be accessed via public transportation.

Hiking
There are about five miles of marked trails including three loop trails (Red 1.6 miles; Green 1.7 miles; Yellow .5 miles).  There are five other connector trails which create a variety of possibilities.  The red loop trail goes all the way around the Butler Reservoir and is accessible by the 1 mile blue trail from the parking lot.

No new episodes were aired between 23 and 27 March 2015 during the period of National Mourning of Lee Kuan Yew's death.

Synopsis
Shen Chuyi (Rui En) is a happy-go-lucky girl who, since she was a child, has seen how much her father has suffered from kidney dialysis. Thus, she has cultivated the good habit of eating healthily, and often reminds people around her to maintain a healthy diet. Chuyi works in the events company of Yu Yang (Pierre Png), the fiancé of her bosom friend, Cai Jiayi. The three of them volunteer regularly in the charity activities of NKF.

Sadly, when Chuyi grown older, she realised that she has some conditions that is similar to that of her father's. Chuyi was worried if she have kidney disease, like her father. After the checkup, Chuyi is diagnosed with acute kidney disease. Chuyi’s boyfriend, Ding Zhanpeng (Allen Chen), leaves her as his parents disapprove them from being together. Chuyi's mother, Chen Miaoyu (Aileen Tan) is devastated and tries to donate her kidney to save Chuyi but is unable to do so because of her own health problems. Jiayi cannot bear to see Chuyi tormented by kidney disease, she decides to donate a kidney to her. Chuyi is adamant about refusing it, not to mention that Jiayi’s parents oppose the decision vehemently. Before Jiayi manages to convince her parents, she is killed in a car accident at an early age. In accordance with the organ pledge form that she had signed before her death, Jiayi’s kidney is donated to Chuyi….

After being given a new lease of life, Chuyi and Junkai (Dasmond Koh), a fellow kidney patient, set up a mutual support group with several other patients. A strong and cohesive group, they meet regularly for activities and exercises every week.

Ever since Jiayi died, the Cai family has been living in grief. Out of gratitude and her wish to take care of Jiayi’s parents, Chuyi begins to associate with the family. She becomes “acquainted with” 85-kg Cai Jiajia (Ya Hui) who indulges in binge eating, and Jiayi’s parents, Cai Qingde (Chen Shucheng) and Huang Cuijiao (Lin Meijiao). Having had a taste of the lifestyle and eating habits of the family, Chuyi tries to change their extremely unhealthy ways. Ever since Qingde and Cuijiao lost their beloved daughter, they have been wallowing in misery. When Chuyi enters their lives, they discover that she shares similar characteristics with Jiayi. For some strange reasons, they develop a fondness for her, and started to regard Chuyi as their daughter. Jiajia feels indignant that Chuyi means more to her parents than she does….

As for Yu Yang, Jiayi’s death drives him to shut himself away. He furiously buries himself in work. Yu Yang has a bosom friend, Lin Zhongken (Jeffrey Xu). He counsels Yu Yang to accept the truth that Jiayi is gone, and points out that it is unrealistic for him to let his feelings die off.

Zhongken is an instructor at a fitness academy who has a psychological issue with “complete honesty”; he suffocates for no reason the moment he tells a lie. Through Yu Yang, Zhongken gets to know Jiajia. His inability to tell lies leads to several unpleasant encounters with her, but deep down, he develops feelings for Jiajia.

Zhongken spares no effort in helping Jiajia to lose weight, and reveals his love for her. Jiajia naturally refuses to believe him, let alone accept his love. She finds that the two of them are incompatible. Accepting Zhongken will only put undue pressure on herself. Zhongken feels helpless.

Chuyi is well aware of the pain that Jiayi’s death has inflicted on Yu Yang. In helping Yu Yang to emerge from his emotional abyss, the two of them unknowingly develop feelings for each other. Unexpectedly, Chuyi meets Zhanpeng, her former boyfriend. It turns out that after jilting Chuyi, he married Simone, his new girlfriend and had a son with her. Unfortunately, the baby was born with a heart condition. Simone deserted both of them, leaving Zhanpeng to take care of their ailing child singlehandedly. Upon learning the situation, Chuyi selflessly extends a helping hand and shows concern for father and son. Zhanpeng regrets his stupid decision to leave Chuyi. His love for her is rekindled.

At the same time, Chuyi discovers that a client of hers, Lin Shaoping (Hong Huifang) is actually Yu Yang’s mother who abandoned him when he was a child. Yu Yang was six when his mother left him to elope with her boyfriend. The sight of his devastated and humiliated father made Yu Yang hate her to the core. After marrying her boyfriend, Shaoping built up a furniture empire. The remorse she feels towards her son increases by the day. By chance, she finds out about his events company. She conceals her identity and becomes a client of the company. Chuyi finds out the secret but promises Shaoping that she will keep the truth from Yu Yang. She often creates opportunities for mother and son to spend time together. Shaoping, stricken with heart disease, dies with regret. As Yu Yang feels guilty about behaving callously towards his mother, he is reluctant to inherit the fortune she has left for him. In the end, he uses part of it to set up a charity foundation in his mother’s name…

Jiajia’s weight problem becomes serious and she has a bad fall one day. With her legs rendered immobile, it makes her even more discouraged. Yu Yang hopes that Jiajia will take good care of her health for the sake of her parents. Jiajia finally overcomes her resentment towards Chuyi and accepts help from both of them by embarking on a health regimen of diet and exercise…. Love grows between Yu Yang and Chuyi as they spend more and more time together. Slowly but surely, Chuyi enters Yu Yang’s life. Be it in his daily activities or areas of work, Chuyi plays an indispensable role. Yu Yang cannot help but fear that he is falling for her so naturally.  He is afraid of betraying the late Jiayi and forgetting her by loving Chuyi. He forces himself to curb his feelings. Will Yu Yang be able to open his heart to embrace Chuyi’s love?

On the other hand, Zhanpeng, who is increasingly reliant on Chuyi, is doing his best to touch her heart. He pleads with her to renew their relationship, and to take care of his sickly son together. Chuyi is hesitant. Should she accept Zhanpeng?

title: Indian locomotive class WAG-12

text:
The Indian locomotive class WAG-12B is a class of 25 kV AC electric locomotives that was developed in 2017 by Alstom with technological collaboration with Indian Railways. The model name stands for wide gauge(W), Alternating Current (A), Goods traffic (G) locomotive-12 . They entered trial service in 2019. A total of 360 WAG-12B have been built at Electric Locomotive Factory, Madhepura, Bihar, India.

With a power output of 12,000 hp, the WAG 12 is twice as powerful as its immediate predecessor, WAG-9, making it one of the most powerful freight locomotives in the world. The locomotive is being developed for deployment on the Dedicated Freight Corridors, where it will be used to haul freight trains weighing more than  at speeds of  to , essentially doubling the average speed of freight trains in the sector.

History

Origins

The origins of WAG-12B can be traced back to 2006. When the Government of India approved the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) project and set up the DFCCIL to build it. In order to run trains at maximum efficiency, even the most powerful locomotive of that era, the WAG-9 was found inadequate. Hence, it was decided to procure new, powerful locomotives for dedicated operations on the two DFCs in an manner unlike it was done until now, where locos were built at CLW by Indian Railways under technology transfer agreements.

In June 2008, the Ministry of Railways invited bids from global firms to design and develop the locomotives. The initial deal was to set up a new electric locomotive factory at Madhepura, Bihar to build and maintain 660 high-horsepower locomotives in a joint venture where Indian Railways would hold a 26% stake and the bidder 74%. This would have been the first foreign direct investment in the fully state-owned railway sector of the country.

This invitation received bids from General Electric, Alstom, Bombardier Transportation, Siemens Mobility, China CNR and CSR Corporation. The number of locomotives to be built was subsequently increased from 660 to 800. The Research Design and Standards Organisation published a specification in June 2013, detailing the capability requirements for an eight-axle locomotive intended to be used on Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC). It was not until November 2015, however, that Alstom was finally awarded the contract to build the locomotives.

Development

Development of the locomotive began after the Ministry of Railways and Alstom signed a contract worth . and created a joint venture for the project. The largest Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) project of Indian Railways, the first locomotive was initially expected to enter service on 28 February 2018.  Alstom announced that the new locomotive would be based on its highly successful Prima II model. Alstom calls it the Prima T8. This was the first time in 20 years that Indian Railways procured new locomotives.

However, the locomotive was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Madhepura, Bihar on 10 April 2018.

Production
As development of the engines progressed, Alstom outsourced the task of producing traction transformers for the locomotives to Swedish-Swiss multinational corporation ABB in 2016. These all-weather transformers were to be produced in Vadodara, Gujarat. In 2017, Alstom outsourced the task of developing, testing, and maintaining the brakes of the locomotives to German brake manufacturing firm Knorr-Bremse. These brakes were to be produced at Palwal in the Indian state of Haryana. The couplers of the locomotive were designed and developed by French Railway company Faiveley Transport. Around 85-90% of the components will be procured from within India.

The first body shell of the locomotive was delivered to the Haldia Port in West Bengal on 20 September 2017. It was then transferred to the Electric Locomotive Factory (Alstom Madhepura) for final assembly, which began on 11 October 2017. The first locomotive, numbered 60001, was tested in the Madhepura factory on 27 February 2018, one day before its initial launch date.

Deliveries of the locomotives are planned from 2018 through 2028, with the first locomotive slated to enter service in 2018, and a total of five by 2019. This is to be followed by the assembly of 35 new locomotives in 2020, 60 in 2021, and 100 locomotives each year from 2022 until all 800 locomotives are delivered.

Design
They are three phase, twin-section electric freight locomotive consisting of two identical sections, each of which rests on two twin-axled Bo-Bo bogies. The locomotive is being jointly developed by Alstom and the Indian Railways, and is the first Indian Railways locomotive that has a power output greater than 10,000 horsepower. With a power output of 12,000 hp, it is twice as powerful as its immediate predecessor, WAG 9, and is one of the most powerful freight locomotives in the world.

For super-high powered locomotives like the WAG-12, design specifications make it necessary that they have twin sections. For a locomotive to output 9 mega watts (12000 hp), it would be impossible to house all that equipment into a body the size of a standard locomotive. The traction motors necessary to produce such torque would not even fit onto the axles. More axles will be needed for optimum load distribution and pulling power. All this will make the locomotive incredibly long. Now, no railway vehicle on Indian Railways may be longer than 25 metres, else they won’t be able to negotiate turnouts. Since all the equipment caused the WAG-12 to be around 38 metres long, the solution as to add a vestibule at the middle, making it a twin section locomotive.

The eight-axle design of the locomotive reportedly improves performance and minimises energy consumption and maintenance costs. The locomotive incorporates special features based on the Alstom Prima T8 for operations in humid or dusty environments and extreme temperatures ranging from  to . The cabin of the locomotive is comparatively larger and offers better comfort for drivers, especially during long-distance operations. The locomotives can also be equipped with climate control systems such as air conditioners, food preparation and storage facilities, and even a toilet—a standard that Indian Railways introduced in 2016.

It will also have state of the art systems, including GPS and GPRS-based remote diagnostics, tracking and systems monitoring, wireless control of multiple-unit locomotives, cruise control, autopilot, incident recorder or a “black box”, etc.

Sub-classes

WAG-12A
It is the original version which was imported. Limitations of the original WAG-12 design resulted in modifications and the WAG-12B variant. Only one unit (60001) was made. This unit has been modified to WAG-12B specification.

WAG-12B

It is the current version in production. Differences with WAG-12A variant include:

title: Gedung Agung

text:
The Gedung Agung (English: The Great Building) is one of six presidential palaces of Indonesia, it is located in the city of Yogyakarta. The palace complex covers an area of approximately 4.4 hectares. It is located in front of Fort Vredeburg.

History
It was initially built in 1824 on an estate owned by the 18th Dutch resident of Yogyakarta, Anthonie Hendriks Smissaert. The first building was designed by an architect named A. Payen, with typical Indies tropical architecture design. The construction of the building was delayed by the ongoing Java War, a rebellion led by Prince Diponegoro and was only completed in 1832.

An earthquake shook and toppled the first palace on 10 June 1867 and the building was initially rebuilt in 1869. The status of Yogyakarta was changed from Resident to a province on 19 December 1927, thus the building changed its purpose as the governor's office.

During the struggle for Independence, the capital city of Jakarta was occupied by Allied forces and the government was moved to Yogyakarta on 6 January 1946. The palace became the residence of president Sukarno between 1946 and 1949, until the government was moved back to Jakarta on 28 December 1949.

After Suharto's became the 2nd president of Indonesia, the palace was made a venue for afternoon parade on every 17 August to commemorate Indonesia's independence. Later in 1991 the building is used to celebrate every moment of seconds of the declaration of the independence.

Feature
On the yard of the building stands two guardian statues of Dwarapala with heights of  and an obelisk made of andesite named Tugu Dagoba (Dagoba Monument), or Tugu Lilin (Candle Monument) by locals, which stands at  in height. In total there are 26 buildings in the palatial complex with Gedung Induk (main building) as the main audience hall for receiving guests.

title: Juana Sujo

text:
Juana Sujo (1913–1961) was an Argentine stage and film actress. Sujo was a noted stage actress, and in 1939 appeared in her first film. In 1948 she left Argentina due to her opposition to the regime of Juan Perón and settled in Venezuela where she lived until her death.

Biography
She was born as Juana Sujovolsky to an Argentine Jewish family in Buenos Aires and spent some of childhood in Brazil and Germany. She was educated alongside her sisters Berta and Ana in Berlin where they were currently living in 1923. She studied with the renowned Max Reinhardt and Ilka Grüning, and was the companion and friend of actress Lilli Palmer. During her studies, she met Stefan Schnabel and Franz Schnyder in Berlin where she played her first role in a film, The Cold Heart by Karl Ulrich Schnabel. She was contracted to work with Otto Falckenberg in the Munich Kammerspiele.

She was forced to flee to England after the rise of Nazism and returned to Argentina where she debuted in Enrique Susini's theater company with Lola Membrives. In 1948 she began traveling through Ecuador, Chile, and Peru, where she found acting work. In April 1949 Sujo moved to Venezuela to star in the Bolívar Films movie El demonio es un ángel. In 1950 she founded the Estudio Dramático Juana Sujo at the Museo de Bellas Artes, which she converted into the Escuela Nacional de Arte Escénico in 1952. She founded the Sociedad Venezolana de Teatro in 1955.

An opponent of the repressive regime of Venezuelan President Marcos Pérez Jiménez, she was credited with sparking the popular uprising that led to his removal from power. Aaron Copland had come to Caracas to conduct the first Venezuelan performance of his Lincoln Portrait on March 27, 1957. A New York Times reviewer said it had a "magical effect" on the audience. As Copland recalled, "To everyone's surprise, the reigning dictator, who had rarely dared to be seen in public, arrived at the last possible moment." On that evening Juana Sujo was the narrator who performed the spoken-word parts of the piece. When she spoke the final words, "...that government of the people, by the people, for the people (el gobierno del pueblo, por el pueblo y para el pueblo) shall not perish from the earth," the audience rose and began cheering and shouting so loudly that Copland could not hear the remainder of the music. Copland continued, "It was not long after that the dictator was deposed and fled from the country. I was later told by an American foreign service officer that the Lincoln Portrait was credited with having inspired the first public demonstration against him. That, in effect, it had started a revolution."

title: Peter Martyn (judge)

text:
Peter Martyn (born after 1630, died after 1690) was an Irish barrister, landowner and judge. He was one of the Roman Catholic judges appointed to the Irish Bench by King James II, as part of James's policy of creating an exclusively Catholic Irish administration. After the downfall of James' cause at the Battle of the Boyne he was accused of attempting to ingratiate himself with the new regime, but soon afterwards he was attainted. He later fled the country and died in exile.

Background
He was born in Kinvara, County Galway, the second son of Richard Óge Martyn (died 1648) of Dunguaire Castle and his wife Magdalen French. His father was a wealthy landowner, lawyer and politician, who with his cousin Patrick D'Arcy belonged to a group of Roman Catholic lawyers in County Galway who continued to practice law in the 1630s in defiance of the Penal Laws, which barred Catholics from the practice of any profession, until the Crown finally put a stop to their practice; later Richard was a key figure in Confederate Ireland. His eldest son Oliver Óge Martyn, despite his father's dubious loyalty to the Crown, was able to hold on to the family estates; unlike his brother Peter, he was never attainted, apparently due to the high regard felt for him by his neighbours.

Career

In the general atmosphere of religious toleration which followed the Restoration of Charles II (since both the King and his brother and heir James were known to incline to the Roman Catholic faith) Peter's cousin Patrick Darcy was able to resume his legal practice and may have encouraged Peter to follow him to the Irish Bar. Peter entered Middle Temple in 1663 and the King's Inn in 1673, and was on the Connaught Circuit in 1683. He became wealthy, and bought the manor of Kilconnel, County Galway.

On his accession to the English Crown in 1685, the Catholic King James II did not move at once to replace the Protestant judges on the Irish Bench, but by 1687 he had decided on a comprehensive policy of appointing Catholics to key positions. Ball points out that Martyn had only 14 years in practice; on the other hand, his wealth and social standing may have made him an acceptable candidate for judicial office. He was appointed third justice of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland). He went regularly on the Connaught circuit as judge of assize.

Disgrace and death

After King James' downfall at the Battle of the Boyne, Martyn, like many of his colleagues, tried hard to reach an understanding with the victorious King William III: it seems that he offered his services to the new regime, since he was described by Jacobite loyalists as "a civil governor in the enemy's quarter". The fact that his brother Oliver was pardoned for his services to James may have given him hope of similarly favourable treatment, but this proved to be an illusion: he was attainted and his estate at Kilconnel was forfeited. With his family he fled the country and died in exile; his precise date of death is unknown.

Burke, writing in 1885, described Martyn as a "great humourist" of whom many stories were still being told, but apparently, he did not think any of the stories memorable enough to repeat.

On 2 July 1960 van den Bosch arrived in Léopoldville, capital of the newly independent Republic of the Congo (formerly the Belgian Congo) to serve as ambassador. Two days later he presented his credentials to President Joseph Kasa-Vubu. In the subsequent Congo Crisis, Van den Bosch wanted to avoid a total administrative collapse and worked to ensure the retention of Belgian personnel in the civil service. In doing so he established contacts with ONUC, Congolese ministers in favor of a strong relationship with Belgium, and certain ministries (namely Finance, Economic Affairs, and External Commerce). He also communicated with the remaining Belgian civil servants who were anxious about serving in an administration that had the disapproval of the Belgian government, advising those in the employment of moderate ministers or the Presidency to continue their work while cautioning those attached to the "extremists" to avoid any undertakings that would harm Belgian interests. Relations between Belgium and the Congo quickly deteriorated, however, and van den Bosch was accused by the Congolese government of instigating unrest throughout the country. He was ordered to be expelled from the Congo, but did not receive any notice until the morning of 9 August when a Congolese Foreign Ministry official informed him that he had until noon that day to leave. Facing a large crowd of angry Congolese, van den Bosch left the Belgian embassy under the escort of United Nations peacekeepers to the docks, where he took a boat to Brazzaville and from there flew back to Belgium.

title: The Tango on Broadway

text:
El Tango en Broadway (English: The Tango on Broadway) is a 1934 American musical film directed by Louis J. Gasnier and starring Carlos Gardel, Trini Ramos, and Blanca Vischer. The film was a Spanish-language production made in the United States, for release to Spanish-speaking audiences at home and abroad without English subtitles. It was released by Paramount Pictures and filmed at the company's New York Studios. Gardel was a popular Argentine singer of tango music who made a number of films for Paramount before his death in 1935. Like Gardel's other American films, it is not a version of an existing English-language film, but a completely original story. By contrast, most of Hollywood's Spanish language films were remakes of English productions.

title: William S. Herriman

text:
William S. Herriman (24 October 1791 – 6 April 1867) was a wealthy businessman who became President of Long Island Bank, the first bank in Brooklyn, New York. He remained in that position until his death when he was replaced by William C. Fowler.

Family background
Herriman was born 1791 in Jamaica, Queens, New York, and was the third of four known surviving children. He had a brother and three sisters. His father was Stephen Herriman (formerly Harriman) III (1757-1792). His mother was Elizabeth Smith (1760-1847). William married Maria Belle Stillwell Frecke/Freeke on 13 December 1820.

Children
Herriman had five children. His second child, Caroline Herriman Polhemus (died 1906), the wife of Henry Ditmas Polhemus, founded the Polhemus Memorial Clinic, the first "skyscraper hospital", in honour of her late husband, who had served as the Regent of Long Island College Hospital (LICH) from 1872 until his death in 1895, and donated $400,000 to LICH for this work. She also founded the Herriman Home in Monsey, Rockland County.

His third child, William H. Herriman (1829-1918), became a noted art collector and gave a large number of paintings to the Brooklyn Museum on his death.

title: Boudewijn van Offenberg

text:
Boudewijn van Offenberg or Offenberch (1590–1653), was a Dutch Golden Age notary, merchant and member of the Haarlem schutterij.

Biography
He was born in Haarlem as the son of Pieter van Offenberg, a cloth and wine merchant who relocated in Haarlem with his brothers Dirck and Lucas from Wesel via Antwerp, and Maria van Loo. Boudewijn's mother Maria van Loo and his uncle Dirck van Offenberg were the godparents of Dirck Hals in Haarlem, but the families knew each other already from their Antwerp period, because the sister of Boudewijn's grandmother Maria van Offenberg had been the godmother of Maria Hals, the older sister of Dirck and Frans, who was born in Antwerp. He married Beatrix de Laignier in 1627 and was a merchant in Haarlem, Leiden, and Bad Bentheim. He was a flag bearer of the St. George militia in Haarlem from 1612-1627 and had to resign when he got married, as Catholics were not allowed to become officers and flag bearers were bachelors. He was portrayed by Frans Hals twice, in The Banquet of the Officers of the St George Militia Company in 1616 and in The Banquet of the Officers of the St George Militia Company in 1627.

His wife Beatrix was a daughter of the "tafel houder" or "bank holder" Maximiliaan de Laignier, who ran the Bank van Lening, Haarlem.
After they married they lived on the Spaarne at the spot where the house number 47 exists today. The couple moved to Leiden in 1642 where they lived on the Rapenburg at (today's) number 14 until 1652. By this time Boudewijn had become a merchant in stone and in 1652 he moved again with his family to Bentheim, where he died a year later and was mentioned in the death register as a stein händler who died of elefantiasi. The disease elephantiasis was rare, so it is possible that he was just fat, as his second portrait by Hals shows him to be considerably fatter than the first, though he was only 37 at that time. After he died, his wife and two sons moved to Oldenzaal, where his son Maximiliaan became a magistrate and his son Petrus became mayor.

title: Reckitt and Sons

text:
Reckitt and Sons was a leading British manufacturer of household products, notably starch, black lead, laundry blue, and household polish, and based in Kingston upon Hull.

Isaac Reckitt began business in Hull in 1840, and his business became a private company "Isaac Reckitt and Sons" in 1879, and a public company in 1888. The company expanded through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It merged with a major competitor in the starch market J. & J. Colman in 1938 to form Reckitt & Colman

Colmans' food business was subsequently divested and a merger made with Benckiser to form Reckitt Benckiser in 1999.

 the company's original site at Dansom Lane, Hull, is still used for manufacturing.

History

Origins

In 1818 Isaac Reckitt and his brother Thomas established a milling business in Boston, Lincolnshire with capital of £1,300 (), building Maud Foster Mill (1819), and later expanding their business into cement manufacture (1823) and bone milling (1828). Isaac quit the partnership in 1833 establishing himself as a corn factor in Nottingham; this business failed and in 1840 he moved to Kingston upon Hull, and rented the starch works (b.1835) of Charles Middleton, in Dansom Lane.

The business made soluble starch from both farina and sago; by 1847 the business was profitable generating an excess of £1,000 (). In the late 1840s the business began promoting itself through extensive use of advertising, though initial positive effects were limited. In the 1850s the business began manufacturing laundry blue using ultramarine, and then black lead; the two products together with starch, plus their derivatives became the mainstay of the business. In 1857 the company began manufacturing biscuits. The developments of the 1850s led to extension of the works at Dansom Lane, and a new biscuit factory was built 1861, and a rice starch plant in 1864.

Isaac Reckitt died on 7 March 1862, and three of his sons George, Francis and James, became partners in the firm. The biscuit factory burnt down in 1866, and the activity was not restarted; the goodwill of the company was sold to Peak, Frean and Co. T.R. Ferens joined the company in 1868 as a shorthand clerk. The company, then known as Isaac Reckitt and Sons became a private joint stock company, with capital of £150,000 in 1879, as Reckitt and Sons Ltd.

Reckitt and Sons Ltd. (1879–1954)
In 1882 the company built a factory for the manufacture of synthetic Ultramarine in Morley Street, Stoneferry, and expertise in its manufacture was brought in from Germany, manufacturing began in 1884, at 150 tons, increasing to 500 tons by 1891.

In 1888 the business was converted into a public company, with its capital increased to £450,000.  Subsequently, the factory was expanded substantially around the Dansom Lane site, the works in Stoneferry were also expanded, increasing production of Ultramarine to 650 tons pa, and adding mills for graphite. In 1894 James Reckitt accepted a Baronetcy, in part for his services to the local Liberal Party.

New brands in the 1890 included "Robin Starch" an improved starch with a borax lubricant derived from a product produced by Heinrich Mack of Ulm; and "Zebra" black lead.  The dominance of the British Empire in the early 1900s also benefited the company's export business, the company increased its overseas business, first in Australia, later other countries of the British Empire, and in the 1900s into South America and the USA, as well as Europe. The company's corporate welfare towards its employees was also active from the 1890s onwards: a non-contributory pension fund was started, and in 1908 the model workers housing estate, the Garden Village opened; the company also organised evening classes, other social activities.

Scientific laboratory work and the employment of qualified chemists began in the late 1890s. At the start this work was purely directed towards quality control and the testing of raw materials; research was subsequently carried out into new products and the improvement of production efficiency.

In the pre-First World War years of the 20th century the company expanded by acquisition, as well as by organic growth. The Brasso metal polish product was introduced in 1905, and an additional factory established on Dansom Lane for its manufacture; rival polishes-Bluebell, Shinio and Mepo were acquired in the early 1900s, along with a number of stove, boot and metal polish brands, and blue manufacturers. The company's first Irish branch was started in Edmondstown in 1910, and the Chiswick Polish Company was founded in 1913 as a joint venture. The company expanded by acquiring related manufacturing and raw material concerns, cutting costs: Wilson's Canister Works in Stoneferry was acquired, and carbon black manufacturers were acquired. The acquisitions increased Reckitt's employees from 3,025 in 1909 to 5,339 in 1913.

During the First World War, as the proprietors were Quakers, the company produced non-combative equipment, including petrol tins. Additionally, a number of German owned concerns were bought from the Custodian of Enemy Property; the company also expanded its Ultramarine production, as much of the demand for the product had previously been settled by German firms. Reckitt's social club hall was used as a Voluntary Aid Detachment hospital.

In the 1920s the Zebo liquid grate polish, Windo (later Windolene) window cleaner, Karpol car body wash and Reckitt's Bath Cubes brands were launched. The black lead works of competitor Hargreaves in Gipsyville, Hull was acquired in 1922 and closed after that company became insolvent.  In 1926 the major acquisition of the Belgian ultramarine manufacturer S.A. des Usines Destrée was made, which included factories in Haren, Melle and Comines. Together with Colman's, the company acquired French's, the American mustard manufacturer, in 1926 for £750,000. Overseas acquisitions in the 1920s and 1930s were partly in response to the protectionist environment of that period.

In 1929, a former scientist at Jeyes joined the firm, and developed the Dettol disinfectant. The product was launched . In 1932 the Harpic lavatory cleaner business was also acquired.

Discussions relating to an amalgamation with J. & J. Colman had begun in 1909, and continued with over the next decades, with asset swaps or a complete merger discussed in 1919; worldwide pooling arrangements had been made in 1930; in 1937 agreement was reached on an amalgamation. Reckitt and Colman was formed in 1938 with Sir Philip Reckitt as chairman, and Sir Jeremiah Colman as vice-chairman.

The merged companies retained separate listings on the London Stock Exchange until 1954, when a full merger took place, forming Reckitt & Colman Holdings Ltd.; the 'Chiswick' shoe polish joint venture business was absorbed in the same year.

title: Nothing More

text:
Nothing More is an American rock band from San Antonio, Texas. Formed in 2003, the band spent much of the 2000s recording independent albums and struggling to maintain a steady lineup or attract record label interest. Towards the end of the decade, the band's long-time drummer, Jonny Hawkins, decided to switch to being the band's frontman and lead vocalist, stabilizing the band's core lineup along with other long-time members Mark Vollelunga (guitar) and Daniel Oliver (bass). The band self-funded and recorded their fourth studio album, Nothing More, over the course of three years and used it to gain the attention of Eleven Seven Music record label, who signed the band to a five album record contract upon hearing it. The album became the band's breakthrough release in 2014, with multiple charting singles, including "This is the Time (Ballast)", which hit number 1 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart and number 2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and "Mr. MTV", "Jenny" and "Here's to the Heartache" all charting in the top 15 of both charts.

The band began working on a follow-up in 2016 while continuing to tour in support of their self-titled release, and in September 2017, released their fifth studio album - their second on a major record label - The Stories We Tell Ourselves. The lead single, "Go to War", outperformed the prior singles, topping the Mainstream Rock chart, and the release earned the band three Grammy Award nominations; Best Rock Album for the album, and Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance for "Go to War". The band continued to promote the release moving into 2018, releasing singles, "Do You Really Want It?" and "Just Say When", and embarking on multiple North American tours into 2019.

Their sixth studio album, Spirits, was released on October 14, 2022.

History

Formation and early independent releases (2000–2010)
Band member Jonny Hawkins began playing drums as early as the seventh grade, which is around the time he met guitarist Mark Vollelunga, by hearing him play guitar at a church camp. The two became friends, and would hold informal jam sessions together with other students throughout their middle and high school years. In 2003, Hawkins and Vollelunga officially formed the band.

Around the end of high school, the band began recording music and touring locally, which they did for years, plagued by lineup changes and the inability to garner a contract from a record label. In 2004, the band released the more funk-influenced album Shelter with vocalist Josh Klaus, bassist Matt Reynolds, and second guitarist Josh Kercheville. Klaus, followed shortly by Reynolds, were replaced in 2004 by Travis Cox and Daniel Oliver, respectively; they recorded and released the EP Madhatter's Bliss in July 2005. A compilation album, Vandura, largely consisting of the tracks from the first two releases, was also released in May 2006. Cox was later replaced by singer Trey Graham, who had previously toured with Kelly Clarkson. The band found some form of success in the release, releasing the album Save You/Save Me in 2007 and touring with Thirty Seconds to Mars and getting on to The Warped Tour, but ultimately felt unhappy with the compromise of moving in a more pop, mainstream influence from Graham, and parted ways with the singer. Around the same time, Kercheville left the band as well, leaving the band as a trio.

By mid-2008, the band was at a crossroads. Hawkins began struggling with depression, due to a number of personal issues, ranging from his mother's diagnosis, and eventual death, from cancer, the end of a five-year romantic relationship, and stress from turnover in band membership. Additionally, the band had won a "battle of the bands" contest prior to losing Graham and Kercheville, but collecting the prize money and instruments they had won required them to perform a showcase in front of record label executives. Feeling a drastic change was in order, Hawkins decided, after over eight years as the band's drummer, to instead become the band's frontman and lead vocalist. While the performance, having Hawkins do drums and vocals concurrently, did not go over well, his instinct was that this was the correct direction for the band to pursue ultimately. Despite Hawkins' lack of formal experience in singing, and even general fear of public speaking, he garnered the support of remaining members Vollelunga and Oliver, and the band pushed forward, opting to use fill-in temporary drummers for live performances moving forward. The members saw this as a new beginning for the band, and later even removed all their previous recordings from any sort of retail space, feeling it no longer represented the band.

In 2009, the band released their first album with Hawkins as the lead vocalist, The Few Not Fleeting. Hawkins largely drew from the aforementioned personal issues for lyrical material on the album, and it largely being created by the core trio, the band was able to delve farther into their preferred music stylings, which the band described as more in the progressive rock, alternative rock, and hard rock veins than prior releases. The album recorded in Hawkins' home studio, allowing the band to not be constrained by money or time restraints in the studio, which in turn improved the release's overall sound quality as well. The band toured in support of the album for two years. While Hawkins performed drums on the album, the band recruited a new drummer, Devin Travieso, who toured in support of the album with the band.

Mainstream breakthrough with Nothing More (2011–2015)

After the two years of touring in support of The Few Not Fleeting, the band turned to working on recording new music in 2011. Still unable to secure a contract from a record label, the band decided to work independently again. Despite this, they set their goal to make a record that sounded as good as a major label release, but on an independent budget. The band recruited new permanent drummer, Paul O'Brien, who reached out to the band after his prior band, Pandemic, broke up. Nothing More members, who were familiar with his work with Pandemic, knew he would be a good fit, and hired him after a successful audition. The four proceeded to move in to a house together and worked on the album for three years, writing about the cumulative five years in between the prior and then upcoming album, where they faced many personal hardships they had lived through during the recording process. Feeling financial hardships during the time, the band raised money through a successful Kickstarter campaign. The band had written 60 song ideas, and spent an entire year filtering through the song ideas into 20 songs, and then down to the 17 found on the album's final track list.

The band finished the album, titled it Nothing More, released it independently in June 2013, and then began touring in support of the album. Their big break occurred in September at the 2013 Aftershock Festival. After a successful show on the first day of the festival, they were asked to come back and perform on the second day, to replace a bigger-named band at one of the show's larger stages. The shows exposed them to a much larger crowd than they usually played - between 10,000 and 13,000 audience members - and after a successful second show, the band finally began getting a number of record label offers. In March 2014, the band decided to sign a contract with Eleven Seven Music, not only ending their long-term search for record label support, but securing a five-album deal. Nothing More was then given a much wider release by the label on June 4, 2014. This time, the album charted, debuting at number 33 on the Billboard 200 and selling 8,600 copies in its opening week.

The band also found much success at rock radio from the releases, with multiple singles charting from the album. The lead single, "This is the Time (Ballast)", hit number 1 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart. It also peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Follow-up singles also performed well on the Mainstream Rock chart, including "Mr. MTV", peaking at number 12, "Jenny", peaking at number 6, and "Here's to the Heartache", peaking at number 4. The band toured extensively in support of the album, across North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia. Notably, this included a tour with Chevelle prior to the album's release, an arena tour with Five Finger Death Punch, Hellyeah, and Volbeat in 2014, a tour with Shinedown in 2015, and the Monster Energy Outbreak tour with Marmozets in 2015. However, by September 2015, O'Brien amicably chose to leave the band, with the extensive stadium touring being too stressful for him, causing him depression and anxiety. He was replaced by Ben Anderson, who finished out the 2015 touring and became a permanent member of the band.

Mainstream success with The Stories We Tell Ourselves (2016–2021)
After extensive touring across 2014 and 2015, the band returned to writing and recording new material in early 2016. By September 2016, the band had 17 fully developed songs, and were contemplating whether or not any songs should be trimmed from the final track listing. The band took a break from recording at this point to tour with Disturbed and Chevelle throughout the end of the year, before returning to complete the recording of the album in early 2017.

In June 2017, the band officially announced the title of their fifth studio album, The Stories We Tell Ourselves, and that it would be released on September 15, 2017. The album debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200 all-format album chart, selling approximately 20,000 copies in its first week. Prior to the album's release, the band released its first single, "Go to War", and a number of other promotional songs, including "Don't Stop" and "Let 'Em Burn". The band performed at the Alternative Press Music Awards and the Loudwire Music Awards in the latter half of 2017. In November 2017, it was announced that the band was nominated for three Grammy Awards for the 2018 Grammy Awards; "Go to War" being nominated for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song, and The Stories We Tell Ourselves for Best Rock Album. In the same month, "Go to War" topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock song chart as well.

The band toured heavily in support of the album in 2018, including a headlining North American tour in February and March, and a North American tour with Papa Roach and Escape the Fate in April and May. Just prior to the 2018 touring, the band released a music video for their second single, "Do You Really Want It?". The CEO of the band's record label mentioned future plans of releasing "Just Say When" as a single as well, which was later done in April 2018; "Let 'Em Burn" later received a formal single release in December. The band continued touring in support of the album into 2019 with a headlining North American tour. The band was the opening act for the band Ghost in the fall of 2019.

Spirits (2022–present)

Planning for a follow-up album started as early as January 2019, with Hawkins that he was working on prepping a new studio to prepare for new album sessions between legs of touring. Hawkins noted it was difficult at times focusing on touring when he had so many thoughts on creating a new album. By October, Vollelunga noted that the band had been creating makeshift recording areas in locker rooms and dressing rooms so they could hold impromptu jam sessions of new material prior to performing their lives shows. He noted that the band would change gears and focus 100% on writing and recording a new album in 2020.The release did not surface in 2021 as work on the album took longer than expected, and in January 2022, the band was revealed to be playing Wisconsin's Rock Fest. This was followed by the announcement of an American co-headlining tour with Asking Alexandria in March which would stretch across May and June, with Atreyu and Eva Under Fire as supporting acts.

Two weeks later, they released their first promotional song, "Turn It Up Like (Stand in the Fire)". The first official single, "Tired of Winning", was released in late April, and the band were announced as a special guest on In This Moment's Blood 1983 tour in late June, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their 2012 album Blood. Three days later, Nothing More's new album title, Spirits, was revealed alongside its title track. Set for release on October 14, another song from the record, "You Don't Know What Love Means", was released in advance of the album in mid-August.

Musical style, influences and impact
The band has been described as alternative rock, alternative metal, hard rock, progressive rock, progressive metal, and heavy metal.  While not directly given the label, their music has been described as having a hardcore and nu metal influence. AllMusic has described the band's overall sound as "somewhere between System of a Down and Incubus", while Team Rock described them as "Hard as fuck crunchy riffs with a slight metal edge all polished up with a fuck-ton of gleaming, radio-friendly production. Imagine if Nine Inch Nails colluded with Royal Blood and Biffy Clyro and you're sort of close." Musically, Hawkins was influenced by the bands Tool and Rage Against the Machine, and the drumming of ex-Dream Theater member Mike Portnoy. In a profile by The Guardian, their musical approach was outlined:

The band's lyrical content has been inspired by a wide variety of factors. Hawkin's personal life has been a large influence; the single "Jenny" is a song that was inspired by his aunt who struggles with schizophrenia and his sister Jenna who struggles with bipolar disorder. The band used the song, and respective music video, to help raise awareness and money for mental illness. "God Went North" is about the passing of his mother. They have found inspiration from a wide variety of influential writers and philosophers as well, from Carl Jung to C.S. Lewis. Hawkins explained that "Films have inspired a lot of our songwriting, obviously through the stories but also through how certain directors communicate emotions through visual media, and I think a lot of philosophers like Alan Watts for instance, who has been a big influence on our lyrics and how we view songwriting altogether which affects how we end up creating all of it." Nothing More has also listed Eckhart Tolle, Stanley Kubrick, Terrence Malick, and Dustin Kensrue as their influences.

Mike Wengren, the drummer of the band Disturbed, cited Nothing More as one of his favorite newer hard rock bands, citing them as one of the examples against the "rock music is dead" argument.

Live performances
The band is known for its elaborate and energetic live performances, with it being likened to "some sort of twisted, rock 'n roll adaptation of Blue Man Group — if Blue Man Group ever opened for Rage Against the Machine." The band has set up two separate drum sets for their live show, one for the band's primary drummer Ben Anderson, and one for Hawkins to join in on intermittently, who had previously been a drummer himself in the early years of the band. The performances also include a number of contraptions created by the bands themselves, including "The Scorpion Tail" in 2016, an animated structure created out of scrap metal and salvaged auto parts, weighing 400 pounds and measuring 14 feet tall. Hawkins rides the structure, while also using it to create digital electronic effects for the songs as well. Its design is based on the "Drumtron"/"Bassinator" contraption the band has used prior, which also allowed the band to perform 3 person bass solos by Hawkins, Vollelunga, and Oliver.

title: North Hampton Town Hall

text:
The North Hampton Town Hall is located at 231 Atlantic Avenue in North Hampton, New Hampshire. Built in 1844, it was the town's first purpose-built municipal building, and continues to be used as such. Its construction includes materials recovered from older dual-purpose religious and civic buildings, and its tower houses a Revere bell. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, and the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places in 2006.

Description and history
The North Hampton Town Hall stands amid a cluster of civic buildings on the north side of Atlantic Avenue (New Hampshire Route 111), a short way east of its junction with Lafayette Road (U.S. Route 1). It is a single-story white clapboarded building with a two-stage tower, in which hangs an 1816 Revere bell. The tower's pyramidal roof and clock were added in 1920. The building corners have Greek Revival pilasters, which rise to an entablature and a fully pedimented gable. At the center of the gable is a half-oval fanlight in the Federal style. There is a single main entrance, placed at the center of the front facade, with sash windows on either side. Both the windows and entrance are trimmed by narrower Federal-style moulding.

The structure was built in 1844 to serve the town's municipal needs, a function it continues to serve today. It was built about  east of the previous meetinghouse, which served both civic and religious functions, and marked a shift in the civic center of the community to a point nearer the railroad, which passes north-south just east of the municipal complex. In addition to the bell, which originally hung in the town's second meetinghouse, the building includes timbers from meetinghouses built in 1734 and 1761.

title: South Humberside Main Line

text:
The South Humberside Main Line runs from Doncaster on the East Coast Main Line to Thorne where it diverges from the Sheffield to Hull Line. It then runs eastwards to Scunthorpe and the Humber ports of Immingham and Grimsby, with the coastal resort of Cleethorpes as terminus.

Route
From Doncaster the line forms a joint route with the Sheffield–Hull line to Hatfield, passing Hatfield Colliery where the lines diverge at Thorne Junction. The line runs across Thorne and Hatfield Moors to run along the Stainforth and Keadby Canal toward the River Trent. Close to Keadby Power Station the route turns around Keadby and crosses the river Trent at Keadby Bridge. The line then climbs and passes over the M181 motorway and on viaduct to cross the Lincoln Edge at Scunthorpe. Through Scunthorpe, the line passes through the steelworks into the Ancholme Valley before crossing under the M180 motorway. To the west of Barnetby the line branches further at Wrawby Junction with the Grimsby–Lincoln–Newark line turning south towards Market Rasen, and the Kirton Lindsey line, (formerly a continuation of the Sheffield to Lincoln Line). After Barnetby railway station the line crosses the Lincolnshire Wolds passing quarries at Melton Ross and passes close to Humberside Airport near to where it diverges with the Barton Line and a branch which serves Immingham Docks close to Ulceby. The main line continues to Grimsby roughly parallel with the A180 road though Habrough railway station, Stallingborough railway station, Great Coates railway station to Grimsby railway station. The route then passes Grimsby Docks railway station which is open only during daylight hours, towards Grimsby Docks, and then on to New Clee railway station running along the humber bank/sea wall to Cleethorpes railway station.

Passenger Services
The population in station catchments of the line is 470,000.

The East Midlands Railway service between Cleethorpes and Barton on Humber uses the line until taking the Barton Line branch.

Northern operate a service between Scunthorpe and Sheffield, calling at intermediate stations.

The Barton Line forms a branch to this line from Ulceby Junction, to Barton upon Humber. Passenger services on the line were provided by EMR.

Service patterns
One train per hour Northern Rail, Sheffield-Doncaster-Scunthorpe.
One train per hour TransPennine Express service, Manchester Airport–Doncaster–Cleethorpes.
One train per two hours East Midlands service, Barton-on-Humber–Cleethorpes.
One train per two hours East Midlands service, Nottingham–Lincoln–Grimsby Town.

Freight

The South Humberside Main Line is one of eight national Seven Day Railway Routes, which target the routes with the strongest business case for investment. The port of Immingham is located at the end of the South Humberside Main Line from Doncaster. This generates around one fifth of the total UK freight tonnage with potential for significantly more. This line is therefore a very important route for freight and extra capacity is needed to allow rail to grow with the port. Humber International Terminal stage 2 was completed in 2006 which has doubled the amount of coal the port can handle.

The route from Doncaster to Immingham via Scunthorpe is a key artery for rail freight services conveying approximately 20% of the total rail freight volume moved in the UK, it includes:

Steel to/from Scunthorpe Steelworks which is normally 10 trains per day
Waste to Scunthorpe Roxby Gullet which is normally 6 trains per day
Coal from Immingham to various Power Stations in the Aire and Trent Valley which is normally 40 trains per day
Petroleum from Humber and Lindsey Oil Refineries which is normally 8 trains per day
Petrochemical traffic from Immingham to Preston and Stalybridge which is normally 2 trains per day
Steel from Immingham to Avesta Works Sheffield (Outokumpu) which is normally 2 trains per day*
Services on the Doncaster to Goole/Hull via Thorne line, which normally amount to eight trains per day, are also affected by these trains.

Totals: 68 freight trains per day, journey each way = 136 paths

There are three tracks between Brocklesby and Wrawby, two in the Doncaster direction and one in the Immingham direction. The line speed also restricts capacity, between Ulceby and Doncaster the line speed is predominantly 55 mph, with Wrawby Junction only 30 mph. The line speed between Immingham and Ulceby is mainly 30 mph. Loaded freight trains generally run at 60 mph on other lines, with some modern unloaded trains being capable of 75 mph.

History
The line was initially part of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway until the company changed name to
the Great Central Railway in 1897. In 1916 the section of route between Wrawby and Brocklesby was quadrupled to cope with the growing amount of freight traffic heading for the docks at Immingham and Grimsby.

In April 2019, a level crossing over the line at Suggitt's Lane in Cleethorpes was closed due to safety concerns. In 2022, Suggitt's Lane Bridge was opened, replacing the level crossing.

Incidents
In February 2013, a spoil heap (from the now closed Hatfield Colliery) that was weakened by rainfall, caused a landslip and pushed the lines and trackbed up into the air. The line was closed for five months, with trains being diverted through  and  before it was re-opened in July 2013.

7 August 2015 a freight train derailed at Foreign Ore junction, Santon near Scunthorpe closing the line. A train previously derailed in this area in 2008.

title: Darkness Divided

text:
Darkness Divided was an American Christian metalcore band from San Antonio, Texas, formed in 2010 by brothers Gerard, Christopher, and Joseph Mora. The band had released two studio albums through Victory Records as well as an independent EP.

History

Early Years and Formation (2010–2012)
As teenagers, the Mora brothers performed worship music together at their local church, mostly performing covers of contemporary worship songs. In 2010, the brothers changed genres and started Darkness Divided with original drummer Colby Moreno and second guitar/backup vocalist Joey Jiménez after becoming fans of metal music. The new band was named Darkness Divided after the Biblical verse Genesis 1:4, and is described by the band as a reference to finding hope in tough times.

Chronicles and Written in Blood (2012–2015)
In 2012, Darkness Divided released a 5 track EP entitled Chronicles, which was produced by Daniel Castleman.

Since releasing Chronicles, the band released two singles with accompanying music videos. Redeemer was produced with Daniel Castleman, while "Voyager" was produced elsewhere.

Prior to its release, Teen View Music stated that Written in Blood was  Intelligently put together and expertly recorded, Written in Blood has the fuel and fire for a metalcore fan. It is obvious to me just by listening to the album that their live shows are electric with energy and absolute loads of fun. For fans of Christian metal, this is a must-have.
Jesus Freak Hideout says "Heavy metal newcomers, Darkness Divided, will release their Victory Records debut album, Written In Blood, on August 19th. Written In Blood is an 11-track assault of deeply penetrating, sometimes chaotic, sometimes melodic, but always brutalizing metal core riffage coupled with crushing rhythmic breakdowns and Gerard Mora's thunderously demanding vocals. Driven by faith and fueled by conviction, Darkness Divided are on a mission to prove that through suffering comes salvation." They released a new single called "A Well Run Dry" off their upcoming album to iTunes and released an animated stream of the song to YouTube on July 15. They released their second single "The Hands That Bled" along with a music video on August 11.

Departure of Chris Mora, Induction of Hayden Allen, self titled album,  The End of It All EP and breakup (2015–2018)
On November 11, 2015, guitarist Chris Mora put out an announcement on the band's Facebook page.

In 2016, the band released their sophomore self titled on Victory Records. In 2017, the band embarked on many tours. The band would go on tour with Convictions in October 2017, replacing Earth Groans, who took the first half of the date.

In late 2017, the band announced they would disband in 2018 after releasing one final EP and doing one final tour from March to May, with the final show taking place at the Alamo City Music Hall in San Antonio, Texas, on May 12. The band released their final EP, The End of It All, digitally on March 9.

Music and lyrics
Gerard Mora gave an interview in Outburn, where he was asked "What lyrical themes do you explore?", while his response was the following:  He was also asked during the same interview, "Could you ever see yourselves touring with a secular band?", and his answer was the following:

Journalistic career

Early years
Drucker began his journalistic career as a general reporter, and later on a real-estate and infrastructure reporter in Maariv newspaper. In 1997 he was promoted to be the newspaper's chief political reporter. In 1998 he became the political and diplomatic correspondent for Galei Tzahal (Israel's Army Radio), where he also occasionally hosted the daily "Ma Bo'er" (What's Hot) news broadcast.

In the 2002/3 academic year Drucker was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University.

Channel 10
After returning to Israel, Drucker became Channel 10's political commentator. He was later the co-presenter of the Channel's Friday evening news program together with Ofer Shelah. In 2009 he became the host of Hamakor ("the Source"), the Channel's investigative reporting magazine. He co-hosted the show together with Shelah, who was replaced by Mickey Rosenthal when Shelah decided to join politics. Rosenthal himself later joined Israeli politics and was replaced as Drucker's co-host by Razi Barkai. Both Shelah and Rosenthal were elected to the Knesset in the 2013 elections.

Select journalistic achievements
Drucker is responsible for unearthing several high-profile scandals in Israeli politics, that were a result of his investigations.

Three weeks before the 2006 elections, he exposed the "Omri Diary", the schedule of Omri Sharon, son of Israel's late Prime-Minister Ariel Sharon and a Knesset member himself. The papers detailed political appointments orchestrated by Sharon jr.

On June 15, 2007, three days after the primary elections for chairperson of the Israeli Labor Party, Drucker aired candid camera footage showing the faking of ballots results, a report which led to a police investigation.

Another police investigation was the result of his publication of leaked documents from Ehud Olmert's office as Israel's Prime Minister, documenting various promises to members of the Likud convention.

In 2008 Drucker published a series of reports on travels of Benjamin Netanyahu as a Knesset member, with his wife to London. According to the reports, these travels were paid for by private donors and included ostentatious accommodation, and were not properly approved of by the Knesset Ethics' committee. PM associates accused Drucker of applying a double standard, and the Netanyahus filed a libel suit against Drucker, which they later withdrew. The scandal is known in Israeli politics as "Bibi tours" (Bibi is the Nickname for Netanyahu). It was later reported that Netanyahu aides tied government willingness to postpone collection of Channel 10 debts to the state, which threatened its existence, to a demand to fire Drucker. In January 2015 Drucker published a draft of the State Comptroller's report on the matter, which according to the publication raises suspicion of compromised integrity.

In 2014 Drucker ran a series of investigative reports on the Jewish National Fund a non-profit organization owning 13% of total land in Israel, documenting questionable agreements with politicians and media outlets and politically motivated  allocations of major sums to projects with allegedly little connection to the organization's declared goals.

Clash with Prime Minister Netanyahu
In October and November 2016 Drucker published a series of investigative reports related to Israel's PM, Benjamin Netanyahu. The one that drew the most attention argued that Netanyahu's personal lawyer and second cousin, David Shimron, represented a German submarine manufacturer in a multi-million dollar deal with Israel, alleging possible conflict of interest. Another report alleged that Netanyahu's son, Yair Netanyahu, received valuable gifts from Australian billionaire James Packer, and triggered a police investigation. Netanyahu responded with fierceful attacks on Drucker in his personal Facebook account, accusing him of "morbid and obsessive pursuit of the prime minister" and his family, and framing his channel 10 as "radical left-wing".

Public activity
In 2004 Drucker founded the Movement for Freedom of Information in Israel. He served as its chairman through December 2016.

Books
Drucker is the author of two books: Harakiri about the period of Ehud Barak's government, and Boomerang, which he wrote together with Ofer Shelah, about "the failure of Israeli leadership during the second Intifada".
