title: 1883 Princeton Tigers football team

text:
The 1883 Princeton Tigers football team represented the College of New Jersey, then more commonly known as Princeton College, in the 1883 college football season. The team finished with a 7–1 record and outscored opponents 238 to 26, using the new scoring rules introduced by Walter Camp. The Tigers won their first seven games before losing the final game of the season to Yale in New York.

Alex Moffat was the team's captain and star player. Moffat played at the halfback position and developed a reputation as "probably the greatest kicker ever seen on a football field."  Football historian David M. Nelson credits Moffat with revolutionizing the kicking game in 1883 by developing the "spiral punt," described by Nelson as "a dramatic change from the traditional end-over-end kicks." Moffat has also been credited with inventing the drop kick, and kicked equally well with either foot. In 1883, Moffat kicked 32 goals in 15 games.

title: Desiring Julia

text:
Desiderando Giulia, internationally released as Desiring Julia, is a 1986 Italian erotic drama film directed by Andrea Barzini. It is loosely based on the 1898 novel Senilità by Italo Svevo.

Plot
Emilio, an unsuccessful writer, lives in a comfortable apartment in Rome with his older sister Amalia. In a theatre he sees a mysterious woman and, following her into the wardrobe room, they make love. She is Giulia, who lives in Ostia and is trying to make a career as a photographic model. Following a disordered life, including many men, she has little appetite for an affair with Emilio, whose interest in her is obsessive, but does meet him from time to time and they make love.

Amalia is jealous of Emilio's infatuation and, when a younger and more successful writer called Stefano visits the apartment, starts an affair with him. Emilio is outraged that his sister is having wild sex under his roof and breaks up the romance.

As his eyes slowly open to the true nature of Giulia and the people she mixes with, he decides to transform her into the person he wants her to be but this project, as could have been predicted, fails. His sister, deprived of her brother's affection and her one chance of love, commits suicide.

title: Atherigona reversura

text:
Atherigona reversura, the bermudagrass stem maggot, is a muscid shoot-fly. The genus comprises more than 220 species, and some of them are very damaging pests in agriculture.  The bermudagrass stem maggot takes its name from its host preference for bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) and stargrass (Cynodon nlemfuensis).

Description
This small fly has an angular head, transparent wings, and the adult fly is colored between gray and yellow. Males have a rounded abdomen and are smaller than females.  The abdomen in the females is larger and pointed.  The larvae is cylindrical, white and has mouthhooks that are used to masticate the tender parts of the new shoots.

Location
Atherigona reversura is native to Central and Southeast Asia.

This fly was accidentally introduced into Hawaii, and causes great damage in turfgrass.  In 2009 it was reported in California and in 2010 was reported in Georgia and southern Mexico,.  Without clear knowledge of its introduction, the bermudagrass stem maggot has rapidly spread over the Southeastern of United States causing significant yield loss in grazing and hay production systems,

Life cycle
Little is known about the life cycle of Atherigona reversura, nevertheless, it has been reported that the eggs are laid in the underside of the leaf in bermudagrass. After 2.5 days the larva emerge and move to the node where the stem emerges. The larva feed from the node causing the death of the leaf. After 1 to 3 days the feeding damage is evident, the larvae leave the stem, and move to the ground for pupation, where after 7 or 10 days the flies emerge. Adult flies can survive approximately 21 to 28 days producing many offspring during its adult life,. The populations of the bermudagrass stem maggot increase from south to north gradually, with populations picking up in mid-June in Central Florida and late July in North Georgia.
In general all the bermudagrass cultivars have been susceptible to stem maggot damage, but cultivars with high number of shoots, small shoot diameter and narrow leaves show higher preference by the fly.
Currently the recommendations to suppress infestations in the crops are to harvest the grass to help break the life cycle and to apply pyrethroid insecticides after grass regrowth, approximately 7 to 10 days after cutting,  Current research focuses on improving understanding of the behavior, biology and ecology of this insect pest.

title: Elsie Cornish

text:
Elsie Marion Cornish was a South Australian landscape gardener and was born in 1870 in Glenelg, South Australia.

Life and influences
The daughter of Samuel Cornish (an ironmonger) and Agnes (née Kirkpatrick), Cornish was educated in North Adelaide and trained herself in landscape design. She began her career as a professional gardener around 1916, gaining an interest in landscape gardening and design. As her career progressed through the 1910s, she gained a loyal cliéntele.

Cornish lived and had her plant nursery at her family's home in Palmer Place, North Adelaide, where Henry Stuckey and Edmund William Wright, Adelaide architects prominent in the mid-1800s, had once lived.

She died on 20 October 1946.

Key Design Features
Cornish's ideas were influenced by designers such as Gertrude Jekyll, and by Mediterranean traditions. She used formal elements such as symmetry and liked circular shapes.

Projects
Commissioned in 1938 and opened in 1941, the Pioneer Women's Memorial Garden in Adelaide, South Australia is one of Cornish's most significant commissions. Also of note is her design of the University of Adelaide escarpment (1934–46). Her employment at the university was on the personal recommendation of Walter Hervey Bagot, a prominent Adelaide architect of the time. She was still employed by the university on her unexpected passing in 1946.

Cornish worked on the grounds of Christ Church, North Adelaide, and on private gardens including those of Isabel (wife of Sir Sidney Kidman); Sir George Brookman; Sidney Wilcox; and the Darling, Darian Smith and Reid families.

Cornish advised Eva Waite on her garden Broadlees at Crafers and assisted her sister-in-law Gwyneth Cornish with the design of the gardens at Stangate House, Aldgate.

Cornish entered the annual Royal Adelaide Show model garden competition (1929–36). Her entry 'Narcissus Pool' in 1932 won the Royal Adelaide Show's Challenge Cup (Open Class) for Model Gardens.

Recognition
Following her death, Cornish's brother founded the Elsie Marion Cornish Prize in Botany at the Faculty of Science, University of Adelaide.

title: Kumbheshwar Temple

text:
Kumbheshwar Temple () is one of the oldest Hindu temples, situated 200m from the northern part of Patan Durbar Square. It was built in the 14th century (around 1392) by King Jayasthiti Malla which makes it the oldest temple in Patan. It is one of the two free-standing, five-story temples, the other being the famous Nyatapola temple of Bhaktapur. The temple is noted for its graceful proportions and fine woodcarvings and is dedicated to Shiva, as indicated by the large Nandi, or bull, facing the temple.

Temple complex

The Kumbheshwar Temple lies in a complex that includes many other structures, including Bagalamukhi (बगलामुखी मन्दिर), Ulmanta Bhairava (उल्मान्त भैरव) and two hiti ponds, among the most notable ones. It is a popular belief that the water spring that fills the ponds originates all the way from Gosainkunda, which is located 43 kilometers north of Kathmandu. So taking a dip in the pond during the festival of Janai Purnima (जनै पुर्णिमा) is equivalent to doing the same in Gosainkunda. Shiva’s mount, the bull Nandi is kneeling in front of the main Kumbheshwor Temple. High above the wooden roof tiers, it looks as if they might topple over on this five-story building.

Reception

Bad Habits has received mostly positive reviews upon its release.

Digital-retribution gave it 4 out of 5 saying, "Clever, gruesome, grotesque and all wrapped up in a gloriously slimy coat of sleaze, Bad Habits shows that its writer/director Dominic Deacon, and his crew who acquit themselves admirably, is a name to look out for. Next film please folks!".

Severed Cinema's Ray Casta gave 3 and a half stars (out of five) and said, "The film is also erotic and psychosexual, but it never once succumbs to exploitation.  A nice touch are the homage's to 1970's Italian cinema which are plentiful.  Dominic Deacon's "Bad Habits" is a naughty, Giallo-inspired head-trip that takes the viewer on a dark journey where nothing is what it seems".

Scaryminds.com gave it a perfect 10 out of 10 and said, "One of the best movies I've seen all year, full recommendation to anyone who loves them some quality cinema. Bad Habits will provide the fix true movie fans have been waiting on all year".

title: The Giant Pin

text:
The Giant Pin is the second album by The Nels Cline Singers led by American guitarist Nels Cline which was released in August 2003 on the  Cryptogramophone label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by William Tilland awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "it offers the most dramatic example of Cline's general ability to synthesize beauty, emotion, intellect, technique, and even humor in his playing". Writing for All About Jazz, Alex K. Fong stated "The compositions on The Giant Pin simultaneously evoke traditional jazz, blues, post rock, and free improvisation without any of the awkward deliberateness found on the trio's debut release Instrumentals. That's a testament to the development of Cline's writing and the group's chemistry". Pitchfork Media's Sam Ubl stated "Cline has fused his jazz and rock interests before but The Giant Pin takes both poles to heretofore untouched extremes-- especially at the low-volume end of the spectrum. Stark stylistic and dynamic contrasts pervade the album, yet the transitions are smooth. The record is quieter and more restrained than other The Singers releases, making it a rewarding if slightly less exhilarating final product. Whether Cline will continue to cleave himself from the gigging life remains to be seen, but for now he's handling the balancing act quite nicely". JazzTimes' David R. Adler noted "Cline's music is resolutely left of the dial, a challenge. But its dynamics, rhythmic intensity and frequently searing melodicism are a joy. It's easy to imagine listeners of many stripes cottoning to his sound. (Might he lure Wilco fans toward far-out jazz?)".

The Corpus Christi Ship Channel is a deep water navigable ship canal located in Corpus Christi, Texas. It is part of the Port of Corpus Christi, managed and controlled by the Corpus Christi Port Authority. The depth of the channel is . It is used mostly for heavy industry and the export and import of goods.

The channel dates back to the 1840s as a mud slough where cowboys hid and watched Comanche braves throw buffalo robes in the thick mud to prevent their horses from sinking. Years later a wooden bridge was constructed over the slough, at the time called Hall's Bayou.

title: Shigeru Suzuki

text:
is a Japanese musician, songwriter and guitarist. He first became known as a member of the influential rock band Happy End in the early 1970s, before starting a solo career and becoming a prolific session musician. As of 2006, Suzuki had contributed to 588 recordings. In 2019, Suzuki's high school band Skye reunited and released their first album.

Biography
Before being invited to join Happy End in 1969, Suzuki was in a band called  with his high school classmates Tatsuo Hayashi and Ray Ohara (Sadistic Mika Band). Happy End produced three albums, Happy End (1970), Kazemachi Roman (1971) and Happy End (1973), before officially disbanding on New Year's Eve 1972. Suzuki and Haruomi Hosono then formed  with Hayashi, Masataka Matsutoya and Hiroshi Sato in 1973. They changed their name to  a year later.

Suzuki released his first solo album, Band Wagon which was recorded in Los Angeles with musicians from notable acts such as Little Feat, Santana and Sly and the Family Stone, in 1975. To tour the record, he formed the band  with Sato, bassist Akihiro Tanaka and drummer Toshiaki Hayashi. The group played around 10 shows, before disbanding on November 16, 1975.

Suzuki, Hosono and Hayashi reformed Tin Pan Alley, dropping the "Alley" from the name, for an album in 2000.

On February 17, 2009, Suzuki was arrested by the Tokyo Wangan Police Station for violating the Cannabis Control Law. He received a six month prison sentence suspended for three years on March 17.

To celebrate his 40th anniversary as a solo artist, Suzuki teamed up with Ino Hidefumi for two concerts on April 3 and 4, 2015. They performed twice each day and were backed by Hayashi and Hama Okamoto.

Suzuki supported Matsutoya's wife Yumi at the 69th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen at the end of 2018. When Ohara invited Suzuki and Tatsuo Hayashi to record with Shiro Sano in 2019, the three decided to reunite their high school band Skye. Adding Matsutoya to the line-up, they released the album Kindan no Kajitsu with Sano on September 25, 2019. In 2020, Fender released Suzuki's signature model guitar, the "Shigeru Suzuki '62 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic". In June, he released the song  with Chu Kosaka under the name . Skye's self-titled first album was released on October 27, 2021. Album, their second album with Sano, was released on July 5, 2023.

title: ASM-3

text:
The ASM-3 is a supersonic anti-ship missile being developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to replace the ASM-1 and ASM-2 missiles. The major launch platform is the Mitsubishi F-2. Planned Initial Operational Capability was 2016. The missile will be used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. It can attack not only ships, but also ground targets. Since the original model of ASM-3 had a short range of 200 km, it was not deployed immediately, and an improved model was developed from 2017 to 2020, and deployment of ASM-3A with a range of about 300～400 km started in 2021.  In the future, it may also have a range of 400 km or more.

In November 2015, Japan's Ministry of Defense announced it would conduct a live-fire experiment of the XASM-3 in 2016, targeting the decommissioned ship JDS Shirane. In February 2017, an F-2 carried out a jettison test of the missile as a precursor to a live firing. Mass production was planned to begin in 2018 but stopped due to the further upgrade program that has been planned. Footage of a test launch was released in August 2017.

Improvement program

Despite its development being completed in 2017, the missile was not deployed because its range () was deemed too short to effectively counter the Chinese Navy's long range air-defense. In March 2019, it was reported that the ASM-3 would have its range extended to  or more.

In December 2019, the Japanese Defense Ministry secured ￥10.3 billion to upgrade the missile in its 2020 budget. In December 2020, Japan MoD announced the ASM-3A, a variant of the ASM-3 with extended range, and an intention to mass-produce it with the 2021 defense budget. Another upgraded version of the ASM-3, the ASM-3 (Kai), is also under development.

The ASM-3 may be used by the F-2's successor once the aircraft retires in the 2030s.

Variants
ASM-3A - Extended range version of ASM-3.
ASM-3 Kai () - Improved version of ASM-3A.

title: Greenwich International Film Festival

text:
The Greenwich International Film Festival (or GIFF) is a non-profit organization that celebrates the visual arts in Greenwich, CT, with an annual film festival in June and supporting events throughout the year. The Festival, located in downtown Greenwich, features film screenings, premieres, events and parties showcasing filmmakers, panel discussions, and an award ceremony. The Festival focuses on "socially conscious" films, acting in partnership with nonprofits.

The four-day Festival features 60+ domestic and international film premieres and screenings educational panels and workshops,

The inaugural Festival took place from June 4–7, 2015, and multiple events were hosted prior to that date, beginning with a March 2, 2014 launch party covering the 86th Academy Awards. In addition to the annual Festival, GIFF hosts year-round screenings of socially conscious films.

History

Before the Inaugural Festival

The Greenwich International Film Festival was first envisioned by Wendy Stapleton Reyes, Carina Crain and Colleen deVeer, three friends and Greenwich locals involved in the area's non-profit industry. Planning for the festival began in early 2013, as according to Reyes, the founders "wanted about a two-and-a-half year cushion going in to the inaugural festival."

The Festival's first official event was an Oscar-viewing launch party in March 2014, which was followed by the June 2014 hometown premiere screening of Lucky Them in Stamford, Connecticut, hometown of the film's producer and co-writer Emily Wachtel. On October 22, 2014, GIFF hosted a screening of The Good Lie, in collaboration with and benefitting the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, a drama film on the subject of the Lost Boys of Sudan, orphaned during the Second Sudanese Civil War.

Inaugural Festival- 2015

The inaugural Greenwich International Film Festival took place June 4 to 7, 2015. The Festival's charitable and socially conscious mission led it to donate a portion of proceeds to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, helping to support the OneminutesJr campaign, which equips young filmmakers with the resources to create one-minute short films, and showcases their work.

Over 7,500 celebrities, filmmakers, journalists, financial executives, and movie lovers attended the Festival which featured 31 domestic and international films, educational panels that were free to the public, a Children's Acting Workshop, Q&A's, parties, and evening events. Harry Belafonte and Mia Farrow were honored as the first-ever Changemakers in Film at the Changemaker Honoree Gala on June 6, 2015.  The event was held at L’Escale restaurant in Greenwich.  Kathie Lee Gifford and Regis Philbin presented the awards and served as Masters of Ceremony for the award ceremony. On the last night of the Festival, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina of Pussy Riot led a discussion on activism moderated by anti-corruption author Zephyr Teachout.

Second and Third Annual Festival- 2016 and 2017

Events leading up to the second annual festival including screening of the films Spotlight, The Big Short, and The Revenant. The advance screening of The Big Short, co-sponsored by GIFF Board Member Mark Teixeira, included a post-film panel featuring three of the men that inspired roles in the film.

In early January, GIFF presented the CT premiere of the Showtime series Billions. The screening of the pilot episode featured a post-screening panel moderated by David Edelstein of New York Magazine, and featured GIFF Board Member and co-creator David Levien, co-creator Brian Koppelman, director of the pilot episode Neil Burger, and actors David Costabile and Terry Kinney.

The 2016 Festival was scheduled for June 9–12.

In 2017, the festival was held for the third time. Jenna Bush Hager by then was a board member of GIFF.

Impact

The Festival donates a portion of proceeds to nonprofit organizations, with a partnership announced in August 2014 with UNICEF and the One Minute Foundation on the OneminutesJr campaign, which equips young filmmakers with the resources to create one-minute short films, and showcases their work. The selection of UNICEF as the Festival's first beneficiary organization was made to support efforts to "build a model that made the most of those connections to benefit both individual filmmakers and a charity everyone believed in."

The Greenwich International Film Festival offers a number of awards and cash prizes, including an award for the Best Social Impact Film, which is a focus of the Festival. Awards include $10,000 cash prizes for Best Social Impact Film, Best Narrative Feature, and Best Documentary Feature, and $2,500 cash prized for Best Narrative Short and Best Documentary Short.

Notable Films
GIFF primarily showcases narrative and documentary features and short films.  Recent premieres and award-winning films shown at GIFF include:  Entourage, All Things Must Pass, Jane Wants A Boyfriend (World Premiere), I Smile Back, The Keeping Room, The Overnight, Time Out of Mind, Mania Days, 7 Minutes, 40-Love, Night Owls, Uncle John, Victoria, WildLike, Zurich, 3 ½ Minutes, 10 Bullets, Landfill Harmonic, The Russian Woodpecker, Tiger Tiger, Vaclav Havel: Living in Freedom (U.S. Premiere), Dirty Laundry Day, I’ve Just Had a Dream, Coaching Colburn, Santa Cruz del Islote, Shipwreck, The Summer of Sangailé, and Grounded.

title: Gunadhya

text:
Guṇāḍhya is the Sanskrit name of the sixth-century Indian author of the Bṛhatkathā, a large collection of tales attested by Daṇḍin, the author of the Kavyadarsha, Subandhu, the author of Vasavadatta, and Bāṇabhaṭṭa, the author of the Kadambari. Scholars compare Guṇāḍhya with Vyasa and Valmiki even though he did not write the now long-lost Brihatkatha in Sanskrit; the loss of this text is one of the greatest losses of Indian literature. Presently available are its two Kashmiri Sanskrit recensions, the Brihatkathamanjari by Kshemendra and the Kathasaritsagara by Somadeva.

Date
Guṇāḍhya could have flourished during the reign of a Satvahana king of Pratishthana (modern-day Paithan, Maharashtra). According to D. C. Sircar, he probably flourished between the 1st century BCE and 3rd century CE. An alternative account, mentioned in the Nepala Mahatmya of the Skanda Purana, states that Gunadhya was born in Mathura, and was a court poet of the king Madana of Ujjain. Sircar calls this tradition less authentic.

Relevance
The earliest reference to Vikramāditya is traced in the lost Brihatkatha.  Guṇāḍhya describes the great generosity, undaunted valour and other qualities of Vikramāditya, whose qualities are also mentioned by Satavahana king Hāla or Halavahana, a predecessor of Gautamiputra Satakarni in his Gaha Sattasai; Guṇāḍhya and Hāla lived close to the time of Vikramāditya.

Guṇāḍhya wrote the Brihatkatha in the little-known Prakrit called Paiśācī, the language of common people of the border regions of Northwest India. Daṇḍin asserts the fundamental importance of the Brihatkatha and states that it was written in prose and not in poetic form suggested by the three known Kashmiri rescensions Haracaritacintamani of Jayaratha included.

Brihatkatha must have been a storehouse of tales about heroes and kings and gods and demigods and also about animals and birds. Kshemendra's Brihatkathamanjari must be a faithful summary of the original which too was in eighteen Books called Lambakas. The earliest version must have been the Bṛhatkathāślokasaṃgraha of Budhasvamin, the complete work of which has not been found.

Guṇāḍhya must have lived a glorious life; he must have been a versatile writer, a master of literary art capable of weaving into his story of romantic adventures all the marvels of myth, magic and fairy tale. The stories forming the Brihatkatha had a divine origin which origin is recounted by Somadeva.  Since King Satvahana has been identified with Shalivahana, Guṇāḍhya must have lived around 78 CE. Guṇāḍhya is perhaps the only author of a well-known text who speaks in the first person. His story is told from his point of view, not by an unseen, omnipresent narrator as in the case of Vyasa and Valmiki.

title: New Orleans Sun Belt Nets

text:
The New Orleans Sun Belt Nets were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT). The team first played as the Cleveland Nets in 1974, and was known as the Cleveland–Pittsburgh Nets in 1977, when it played roughly half of its home matches in each city. The Nets moved to New Orleans for the 1978 season. Following the 1978 season, the Nets announced that the team would fold. The Nets played all five seasons in WTT from the league's inception in 1974, until its suspension of operations after the 1978 season. The team had losing records in each of its five seasons.

Team history

Inaugural season

The Nets were founded as WTT's charter franchise for Cincinnati, Ohio in 1973, by Bill DeWitt, Jr. and Brian Heekin. Within weeks of being established, and before the team ever had a name in Cincinnati, DeWitt and Heekin sold it to Cleveland radio executive Joseph Zingale who paid them the same $50,000 as the franchise fee they had paid to WTT. Zingale relocated the team to Cleveland with a plan to have it play its home matches at the Cleveland Public Hall starting with the league's inaugural 1974 season and name it the Cleveland Nets. Before the draft, Zingale spoke to Clark Graebner, a native of Cleveland, about playing for the team as well as to being its coach and general manager. Graebner insisted his wife, Carole, had to be drafted by the team as well. The Nets selected them both as a pair in the fourth round of the draft. No other WTT team objected to the Nets selecting two players with one draft choice. When Clark and Carole Graebner separated, Clark traded Carole to the Pittsburgh Triangles. The couple never divorced, and Carole Graebner died in 2008. Peaches Bartkowicz was a key women's doubles player for the 1974 Nets but quit the team during the season. Through all the drama, the Nets finished with 21 wins and 23 losses, third in the Atlantic Section and snuck into the playoffs.

WTT division semifinals and division championship series in 1974, were played over two legs, one match on the home court of each team. The team with the best aggregate score over the two matches was the winner. The Nets met the Philadelphia Freedoms in the Eastern Division Semifinals. The Freedoms had the best regular-season record in the league and were led by WTT Most Valuable Player Billie Jean King. As the higher seed, the Freedoms had the choice to play either the first or the second match at home. Despite playing two tight matches, the Nets lost them both, 26–22 at home and 23–22 in Philadelphia, and saw their season come to an end.

A rookie sensation
Clark Graebner's Northwestern Wildcats college teammate Marty Riessen joined the Nets for the 1975 season as a player and the team's new coach. Although Graebner was relieved of coaching duties, he remained with the team as a player. Riessen had been drafted by the Chicago Aces in 1974, but he decided not to sign with the team. The Aces lost the rights to him when they folded after the 1974 season.

In addition to their new coach, the Nets also got a new home for 1975, as they moved into the brand-new Coliseum at Richfield in Richfield Township, Summit County, Ohio.

Riessen was a big success between the lines. He was named Male All-Star Match Most Valuable Player, led the WTT in game-winning percentage in men's singles and was named Male Rookie of the Year.

Despite Riessen's excellent play, the Nets finished with 16 wins and 28 losses, last place in the Eastern Division and missed the playoffs.

Nets sign Navratilova
Prior to the 1976 season, the Nets signed 19-year-old Martina Navratilova to a $150,000 contract and gave her a large diamond pendant in the shape of a "#1." Navratilova had defected from Czechoslovakia the previous year. Despite the presence of Navratilova, the Nets endured another losing season finishing with 20 wins and 24 losses, third place in the Eastern Division and missed the playoffs.

One star leaves and another arrives to find a team of two cities

The Pittsburgh Triangles folded following the 1976 season. With Pittsburgh and Philadelphia both lacking franchises, the league had considered fielding a team called the Pennsylvania Keystones in 1977, composed of players from the Soviet Union. However, with the Nets struggling to draw fans in Richfield, owner Joseph Zingale decided to fill the WTT void in nearby Pittsburgh and have his team play approximately half of its home matches in Richfield and the other half in Pittsburgh. The team was called the Cleveland–Pittsburgh Nets. After the Nets announced they would play half their matches in Pittsburgh, the league had planned to have the Keystones play in Philadelphia. The team of Soviet players did compete in WTT in 1977, but it did not have a permanent home and played its "home" matches in several different cities. The name Pennsylvania Keystones was scrapped, and the team was officially called the Soviet National Team or the Soviets.

As for the Nets, they played approximately half their 1977 home matches at the Coliseum at Richfield and the other half at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. The Nets also played some "home" matches in Nashville, New Orleans, St. Louis and Hollywood, Florida.

When Björn Borg, whom had been the Nets top draft choice in the inaugural WTT draft in 1973, expressed interest in playing in WTT, the team seized the opportunity to sign him for the 1977 season. Unable to afford the salaries of both Borg and Martina Navratilova, the Nets traded Navratilova to the Boston Lobsters for Wendy Turnbull. Borg was a big contributor to the Nets in 1977. He was the Male All-Star Match Most Valuable Player, led WTT in game-winning percentage in men's singles and was the Male Rookie of the Year.

But despite all the fanfare surrounding the big-money contract the Nets gave Borg and the presence of one of the world's top male players on the team, Nets owner Joe Zingale found a way to shine the spotlight even brighter on his team when he signed transsexual Renée Richards to a contract on June 2. At the press conference announcing her signing, Richards said, "I am thankful that I'm being given the opportunity to play professional tennis at the level that I have tried to play, but which has been met with so much frustration that I have been unable to do." When he was asked about whether WTT had approved Richards as a female player, Zingale said, "I didn't ask them. That's not the way I work. There's a lot of politics involved when you try to get approval from everybody for such a move." At the time of the signing, Richards was embroiled in litigation with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) which had denied her entry into the United States Open Tennis Championships as a female player, because she refused to take the Barr body test of her chromosomes as required by USTA rules. Not wanting to lock horns with the USTA, WTT ruled Richards not eligible to play as a female player until her court case was decided.

The Nets' home match against the San Diego Friars in South Florida on July 17, featuring Borg against Rod Laver in men's singles drew 8,470 fans.

Despite the stellar play of Borg, the Nets finished with 16 wins and 28 losses, fourth in the Eastern Division. This was good enough to earn them a berth in the Eastern Division Semifinals against the Lobsters who were led by Navratilova, their former teammate.

The Lobsters won the opening match in Boston, 30–26, on August 16. The following day, the New York State Supreme Court ruled in favor of Richards in her case against the USTA stating in its opinion that requiring Richards to take the test was "grossly unfair, discriminatory and inequitable and violative of her rights" and added, "it seems clear defendants [USTA] knowingly instituted this test for the sole purpose of preventing plaintiff [Richards] from participating in the tournament." The USTA immediately placed Richards in the main draw of the 1977 US Open bypassing qualification. WTT commissioner Butch Buchholz immediately sent the Nets a telegram confirming that Richard was now eligible to play as a female.

While there was much anticipation that Richards might make her WTT debut in the second match of the playoff series against the Lobsters a day after her victory in court, she was not on the bench when the match started. Nevertheless, the Nets staved off elimination in Richfield with a 21–20 victory. Marty Riessen and Turnbull opened the match with a 6–2 set win over Mike Estep and Greer Stevens in mixed doubles. Borg followed with a set win over Tony Roche by the same score to give the Nets an early 12–4 lead. The Lobsters fought back and took a 16–15 lead to the final set, men's doubles. Riessen and Borg topped Roche and Estep, 6–4, to take the match.

Prior to the third and deciding playoff match, Richards had expressed uncertainty about jumping into the team while the Nets were in the midst of a playoff series. Nets coach Riessen said that he planned to watch Richards warming up with the team before making the decision about having her play. Richards did not play in the match, and the Nets lost, 21–20, despite Turnbull taking the women's singles set from Navratilova, the player for whom she was traded, 7–6.

Move to New Orleans
Nets owner Joe Zingale was disappointed with the attendance in both Richfield and Pittsburgh. Since the Nets had played one of their 1977 home matches at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans and drawn a fairly large crowd, he decided to move the team there and rename it the New Orleans Sun Belt Nets with the plan of playing most of the home matches in the Superdome and a few in other cities in the southern United States. In addition to being called the New Orleans Sun Belt Nets, the team was sometimes referred to simply as the New Orleans Nets, often when they were playing home matches in New Orleans, and sometimes referred to as the Sun Belt Nets or the Sunbelt Nets, often when they were playing home matches outside New Orleans.

Renée Richards finally made her long-awaited WTT debut with the Nets in 1978. Starting about a quarter of the way through the season, she and two-sport athlete John Lucas were successful as the Nets' regular mixed-doubles team. The Nets finished with 20 wins and 24 losses, fourth place in the Eastern Division, losing out on third place by a standings tiebreaker. Their finish sent the Nets to a rematch with the Boston Lobsters in the Eastern Division Semifinals which the Lobsters won, ending the Nets' season.

Following the 1978 season, between October 27 and November 9, the New York Apples, Boston Lobsters, Los Angeles Strings, San Diego Friars and Indiana Loves all announced that they were folding, cutting the size of WTT from 10 teams to five. On the following day, the Nets, Anaheim Oranges and Seattle Cascades announced that they were folding as well.

title: Greythorn Park

text:
Greythorn Park is a park in the suburb of Balwyn North, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is located in the eastern part of the suburb known as Greythorn, from which the park gets its name.

History

The land where Greythorn Park currently is situated was owned by the Maughan family from 1838, when the area was thinly settled and largely bushland. When electric trams first began reaching the area, most notably the tram to Burke Road Kew in 1938 (present day route 48), it encouraged further subdivision of the area. By this time, the area was known as 'Whitethorn', which was later changed to 'Greythorn' to avoid confusion with Whitehorse Road.

In 1938, with the tram now extended to Balwyn Road, the North Balwyn Wildlife Sanctuary was opened on the present-day side of the park. Operated by the Maughan family, the facility contained Australian native animals, and played host to many American serviceman who were stationed in Melbourne during the Second World War in the 1940s. The sanctuary closed in 1954, but not before most of the land was bequeathed to the City of Camberwell for a recreational park in 1951. The remainder of the land was subdivided into 62 blocks, and the legacy of the sanctuary survives through street names such as 'Wildlife Parade'.

The tennis courts at the Greythorn Tennis Club opened in 1968 and the scout hall was constructed in 1976.

Recently, in collaboration with the Friends of Greythorn Park and the local council, the City of Boroondara, two signs were erected in the middle of the park, close to the Playground and 1st Greythorn Park Scout Hall. These signs display information regarding the history of Greythorn Park and the surrounding area.

Landscape
The park is located on top of a large hill, with an elevation of 91.2m above sea level. The park consists of two main open spaces. The western oval is used by various sporting clubs over summer and winter, with the eastern oval being allocated for passive recreation. A sports pavilion is situation between the two spaces, with a scout hall and tennis club pavilion also situated nearby. A small artificial creek is located near the centre of the park, next to a children's playground.

Access
No public transport directly services the site, but the park is a short walk from the 48 tram terminus on Balwyn Road  and from bus route 284 operating along Greythorn Road to the east. Two carparks are located within the park. One is access via Robert Street and the other off Alpha Street. A number of informal walking tracks also circle the park.

Clubs and groups
A number of sporting clubs and other community organisations utilise the park:
1st Greythorn Park Scouts
Greythorn Park Tennis Club
Kew Rovers Football Club
Koonung Heights Cricket Club
North Balwyn Combined Cricket Club
The Friends of Greythorn Park, formerly the Greythorn Park Advisory Committee, are also present at the site, and help to maintain the park with the assistance of local residents.

LimoLiner was an intercity bus service that operated from 2003 until 2019. It had offered bus service between Boston, Massachusetts and New York, New York.  Operating from a curbside location in Midtown Manhattan, it served the Boston area from a park-and-ride lot in suburban Framingham and a downtown location in the Back Bay.  Initial funding by founder Fergus McCann purchased 3 buses seating 28 passengers (instead of a more typical 55).  Sunday service was added in February 2004.

LimoLiner buses had larger leather seats with more legroom than typical intercity buses. Most rows had a single seat on one side of the aisle and two on the other. In addition to a bathroom, the bus had an attendant and a small galley provisioned with free light snacks.

In May 2014, the company announced on its Facebook page that its founder had retired, and that the company had been sold to Hamilton Transportation Group.

LimoLiner announced via its website and Facebook page on December 31, 2019 that it had ceased operations due to financial difficulties.

title: T. J. Cherian

text:
Thayil John Cherian, popularly known as TJC,  was a Malayali cardio-thoracic surgeon, from Kerala, India, known for his social commitment and compassionate approach. The government of India honoured him twice, first by awarding him the Padma Shri, in 1972 and, later in 1992, with the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award, for his services to the field of Medicine.

Life sketch

T. J. Cherian was born on 2 August 1920, in Thayil family, an ancient family with roots all over the State, to John and Elizabeth, in the southern Kerala town of Kottarakkara, in India, as the eldest of the two sons and two daughters. He completed his schooling at the Madras Christian College School, Chennai and did his college studies at the Madras Christian College. Choosing medical career, he joined the Madras Medical College, in 1959, to secure his MBBS and specialised in cardio-vascular surgery in 1963 after which he went to New South wales, Australia to complete his residency where he registered as a medical practitioner. The next move was to Canada for further specialisation in general medicine to get his MD. He was also made a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

Cherian started his career at the Indian Railways when he joined them as a medical officer. He served at various railway hospitals in Shoranur, Pothanur, Trichy and Perambur, in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. He was the chief medical officer of the Southern Railway at the time of his retirement. Subsequently, he resumed practice the Vijaya Hospital. Chennai, only to move to the Devaki Hospital For a while, he was sidelined by health problems but was practicing at the Kalliappa Hospital at the time of his death.

Thayil, a bachelor throughout his life, died on 6 March 2006, at the age of 85, at Chennai, succumbing to the injuries sustained following a fall from the terrace of his apartment building. He was laid to rest, the next day, at the St. George's Cathedral Cemetery, Chennai.

Death and the surrounding mystery
Official reports mention that the death of Cherian was due to head injuries suffered in a fall, death happening on the spot. The death occurred at the parking lot of his apartment complex at Abhiramapuram, in Chennai and his body was found on top of a parked car. Police investigations revealed that Cherian went up to the terrace of the building from where the fall occurred. However, the reason for the suicide is still unknown as it is reported that the doctor had no known enemies and had gone through the daily routine, on the day of his death, with no apparent deviations. No one's presence was also reported at the terrace and the police closed the matter as a case of suicide.

Legacy
It is reported that Cherian would refuse doctor's fees if he found that the patient came from a poor background. He is remembered by many as one of the old school medical doctors who always maintained a personal relationship with their patients.

Awards and recognitions
 Padma Bhushan - Government of India - 1992
 Padma Shri - Government of India - 1972
 Fellow of the American College of Surgeons

Other than the above honours, he was also given an emerald-studded ring by Sathya Sai Baba.

title: Koonung Creek Reserve

text:
Koonung Creek Reserve is a linear park in the suburb of Balwyn North, Melbourne, Australia. It follows the path of the Eastern Freeway from Bulleen Road in the west to Doncaster Road to the east.

History
The area has been green open space since before European settlement, being situated in a valley near the Yarra River. It was not formally declared as parkland as late as 1966, and its exact date of proclamation is unknown.

It remained relatively unaffected by suburban development in its immediate vicinity until the construction of the second stage of the Eastern Freeway in 1982. To provide some compensation for the significant loss of green space by the construction of the freeway, the Country Roads Board and the affected municipalities of Camberwell and Doncaster & Templestowe planted over 12,000 trees, primarily on the North Balwyn side of the freeway. The works also included undergrounding Koonung Creek for 2.4 km to allow for construction of the freeway. These works formed the basis for the use of the area as parkland.

The construction of the freeway through the area also sparked the commencement of a long-standing issue between local residents and the state government on traffic noise. Residents and the local council have lobbied the state government for many years to improve noise attenuation measures, particularly on the stretch of the road in Koonung Creek Reserve. The lack of any artificial noise barriers, relying instead on small dirt mounds and vegetation, has resulted in noise levels well above the 63 decibel limit for new freeways.

More recently, the reserve and surrounding parklands were involved in the East West Link project. Proposed works for the project included widening the Eastern Freeway by one lane in each direction up to Tram Road. The City of Boroondara strongly objected to any potential for parkland to be used in the widening of the road reserve in numerous submissions in 2013 and 2014.

Facilities

The Koonung Creek Trail runs through the park from east to west along a fully paved 3m wide path. Separate gravel paths have been provided for pedestrians along certain stretches. A playground and public toilet is located near the corner of Wilburton Parade and Arama Street.

Large open sections of the park are dog off-lead areas, while council local laws and a fence prohibit dogs close to the playground. A number of informal ovals are also located throughout the park.

Access
The main sealed pathway runs through the reserve from west to east as part of the Koonung Creek Trail and provides easy pedestrian and bicycle access to the entire park. Many frequent freeway bus services stop on the Eastern Freeway on ramp on the eastern end of the reserve. A small carpark is also accessible off Doncaster Road near the bus stop. The 285 bus provides the only direct access by public transport to the centre of the park. Unrestricted street parking is available along the entire length of the park adjacent to residential areas.

title: WNUF Halloween Special

text:
WNUF Halloween Special is a 2013 American comedy horror film directed primarily by Chris LaMartina, who also helped to co-write the film. Parody commercials are shown throughout the film, some of which were written and directed by persons other than LaMartina. Its plot follows a television personality that decides to investigate strange supernatural occurrences at a house purported to be haunted.

A sequel was released in 2022 under the title Out There Halloween Mega Tape.

Synopsis
The film presents itself as an off-air recording of television station WNUF's Halloween special that aired on October 31, 1987. The movie's main plot centers upon Frank Stewart (Paul Fahrenkopf), a television reporter that has decided to broadcast himself live as he and four other people (including the cameraman) investigate the Webber House, the site of the brutal murder of a husband and wife. Donald Webber, the suspected murderer and the couple's son, claims that he was commanded to murder his parents by demonic entities that he accidentally summoned using a Ouija board. Since that day, the house has been reported to be haunted and an anonymous police officer testifies that he and other fellow police officers have witnessed paranormal activity at the house. Frank initially treats the broadcast as a novelty, even going so far as to dismiss the concerns of paranormal investigators Louis and Claire Berger (Brian St. August and Helenmary Ball), as Claire immediately states that the house contains a menacing presence and that they are in danger as long as they are in the house. He tries to dissuade fears by bringing in Father Joseph Matheson (Robert Long II), who Frank claims is versed in Catholic exorcism rites, despite the priest's assertion that he only has a perfunctory knowledge of the rites and has never actually performed an exorcism.

As the film progresses the Bergers grow more and more tense, especially after Claire's cat Shadow (which she uses to help her with communications with the dead) goes missing. Frank manages to convince them to continue with the broadcast and hold a seance, even after their EVP recorder is smashed off camera by an unseen force. The couple finally leaves the house after their cat is discovered to have been brutally torn to pieces. Trying to keep the broadcast moving, Frank manages to convince a very reluctant Father Joseph to perform an exorcism, despite his protestations that the Church must approve all exorcisms. They move to the basement, where Father Joseph again tries to back out of the exorcism. As he begins to read the rites, the two hear a noise and try to go upstairs but find that they cannot leave the basement. As Frank grows more frantic, his producer Veronica (Nicolette le Faye) asks if the Bergers have returned to the house. The film then cuts to a commercial, after which Veronica is shown stating that she has sent an intern into the house with a camera to rescue the two men and to see what has happened as a whole. The frightened intern ventures into the house but is knocked over and presumably murdered by an unknown person wearing a flannel shirt. During this time the body of Claire Berger is shown on camera, which shows that the Bergers never made it out of the house and were both killed. Veronica frantically implores Frank to break down the door and leave the house, which prompts Frank to once again demand that Father Joseph perform an exorcism. Joseph then angrily states that he was not a priest and is only an actor. As Veronica prepares to cut to commercial, Frank discovers that the basement door has opened and goes out the door, only to be knocked down by the unknown person. The station cuts to a technical difficulties screen followed by static, after which point the bodies of the Bergers, Joseph, cameraman, and intern are shown. Frank is shown to be alive and the assailants are proven to be a human man and woman, two insane religious people who were seen previously in the film stating that Halloween was evil and making various threats that people participating in the holiday were doomed. The man then films his female partner cutting out Frank's tongue before the man glibly wishes the audience a happy Halloween. The film ends with a brief moment of static before a clip is shown of two sober newscasters stating that Frank and the others are all missing. They do not mention the deaths, leaving it up to the viewer to determine if the clip shown was part of the live broadcast or if it was something added to a personal video tape, meaning that we are viewing the copy owned by the murderers.

Throughout the film several commercials and news segments are shown, ranging from advertisements for local businesses or future television broadcasts to a news story about a local dentist's "cash for candy" campaign. Some of these are shown in their entirety while others are fast forwarded through by an unseen viewer.

Production
While filming, director Chris LaMartina tried to make the film closely resemble 1980s footage and shot on vintage tape stock. Of the WNUF Halloween Special, LaMartina stated that as most viewers would be able to instantly tell that the movie was not an actual broadcast from the 1980s they instead tried to "make people remind themselves why they fell in love with VHS and blatant localism in the first place" and that the movie is "a love letter to VHS and public access TV." LaMartina chose to include several faux commercials into the WNUF Halloween Special, as he wanted it to more closely resemble advertising for actual television shows, which will frequently interrupt a broadcast to repeat various commercials. Filming took place in an old rectory in Timonium, Maryland, and the crew made multiple copies of the film on several VCRs to degrade the film quality to where it would more closely resemble a bootleg VHS tape.

To publicize the film, LaMartina and the movie's producers left behind multiple VHS copies of the WNUF Halloween Special in various locations, such as a VHS convention in Pennsylvania, where they left them in bathrooms and tables. Their intent was that by doing this, they would start a successful whisper campaign.

Reception
Critical reception for the WNUF Halloween Special has been positive. HorrorNews.net gave the WNUF Halloween Special a favorable review and commented that the movie had the potential to become a cult classic. Daily Dead and Dread Central also rated the film highly, and the Daily Dead wrote that it was "by far, one of the most enjoyable indie horror movies I’ve seen for some time."

Sequel

During 2022 LaMantina announced a sequel to WNUF Halloween Special entitled Out There Halloween Mega Tape via social media; prior to this it was referred to as WNUF Halloween Sequel. He further stated that the film would simultaneously premiere on August 20, 2022 in Long Beach, California and Baltimore, Maryland. LaMantina released the film on DVD independently via his website and has stated that there were no current plans to license the film to a distributor or streaming services. A VHS copy was made available as part of a limited collector's set.  A special cut of Out There Halloween Mega Tape was also screened at the Nightmares Film Festival in October 2022; Dread Central rated the film favorably and the movie received the festival award for Best Writing for a Feature Film. Nashville Scene favorably reviewed the movie, commenting that the movie was more polished than its predecessor and that it was "structurally innovative and deeply rewatchable".

The sequel is set in the 1990s and centers upon a talk show host sent to a farm rumored to have had several alien encounters. Production on the film was severely impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown and LaMantina reported that several elements had to be tweaked or restyled in order to follow lockdown protocol. He also noted that the 1990s was more difficult to portray due to the changes in technology from the 1980s.
