title: Death Race (1976 video game)

text:
Death Race is an arcade driving video game developed and released by Exidy in the United States, first shipping to arcade distributors in April 1976. The game was a modification of Exidy's 1975 game Destruction Derby in which players crashed into cars to accrue points. In Death Race, the objective became to run into "gremlins" to gain score. The game could be played with one or two players controlling different cars. The original working title for the game which appeared on some early advertisements was Death Race 98.

The game attracted a great deal of controversy over the content of the game which was centered around killing humanoid figures. In July 1976, newspapers and civic organizations began to attack the game for facilitating violence in virtual form.

Gameplay

In the game, one or two players control an on-screen car with a steering wheel and an acceleration pedal. The object is to run down "gremlins" who are fleeing the vehicle. As the player hits them, they scream or squeal and are replaced on-screen by tombstones. This increases the challenge of the game as the screen clutters up and the player has to avoid the tombstones.

The cabinet is black-with-white graphics of a muscle car racing through a cemetery with a vulture in a tree looking on. The marquee and monitor bezel are colored. A limited number had white sides with the artwork in black, instead of the reverse. It was in an upright standard racing-style cabinet.

History
In 1975, Exidy licensed its game Destruction Derby to arcade game company Chicago Coin to manufacture. However, the following year Chicago Coin entered financial difficulties which would eventually lead to the dissolution of the company, and as Exidy had sold exclusive manufacturing rights they could no longer profit from Destruction Derby.

Needing an interim product to introduce to distributors, they decided to modify the Destruction Derby game so that it would be saleable by their organization. Newly-arrived engineer Howell Ivy from Ramtek made several modifications to Destruction Derby in order to create this new product. He added curbs to the left and right of the screen that the enemies could hide behind, but players would be stalled if they attempted to cross over. On the top and bottom of the screen, players could wrap around to the opposite side in a manner similar to Atari's Space Race (1973).

The enemy opponents were changed to animated figures which walked around the screen instead of vehicles. These 'gremlins' would wander the playspace until one of the players collided with them, at which point they would let out a 'screech' and leave behind a cross representing a tombstone. Though a number of sources have reported that the game was a licensed adaptation of the 1975 film Death Race 2000, Exidy has denied that this was the case. The name "Death Race" was chosen as a reflection of the undead monsters depicted in the cabinet art and marketing, both devised by artist Michael Cooper-Hart.

Exidy only intended Death Race as an interim product until their subsequent game Car Polo (1977) was completed. Viewed from an aerial perspective, the gremlins look very similar to humans and this got the attention of national news programs such as 60 Minutes. In July 1976, Associated Press reporter Wendy Walker reached out to Exidy based on her viewing of the game at a Seattle arcade. Concerned about the game's violent content and its potential effect on those playing it, she wrote a widely disseminated article which pointed out the game's content unfavorably.

Following this article, many news organizations through 1976 and 1977 reported on Death Race, including national newspapers like The New York Times. Many at Exidy attribute a large jump in sales for the company to this increase in national profile for Death Race, even though most of the coverage was negative. By the end of 1977 the game no longer graced headlines.

Reception
In the United States, it was the eighth highest-grossing arcade game of 1976 according to RePlay magazine. It was later the seventh highest-grossing arcade game of 1977, according to Play Meter magazine.

Legacy
Funspot has a working arcade machine in an all-yellow cabinet. An original arcade version of Death Race is present in the Musée Mécanique in San Francisco. The Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, Illinois, received an original black cabinet as a donation.

In 2016 Binary Star Software released a dual title cartridge called "Nox / Death Chase". The release of "Death Chase" recreates the look, feel, and play of the 1970s Death Race on the 1980s Vectrex vector graphics home video game system.

History

Early years (2013)
Shudall met both Rourke and Plummer through mutual friends at the annual music festival Liverpool Sound City in 2013, meeting Falconer not long after at the same festival where he worked as a stage manager. During the summer and autumn of 2013 the band played several short UK tours, which included some secret shows. In a July 2014 interview in Paris, Falconer stated regarding the band name's origin, "Kieran wrote the demo for "Young Chasers", recorded it and uploaded it to SoundCloud in one day. As he was uploading it he needed a name and it was the first thing that came into his head in that split second."

Debut single and Young Chasers EP (2013–2014)
On 2 December 2013, the band released their debut single "Get Away/Good for Me", a double A-side on Transgressive Records handled by Jen Long's Kissibility label. In February 2014, radio DJ Zane Lowe played the band's second single "Stuck in My Teeth" as his Hottest Record in the World. The band opened the NME Awards Tour in March 2014, which also included Temples, Interpol and Royal Blood. On 10 June 2014 Circa Waves released their Young Chasers EP on Virgin Records in the US. A Japanese edition was released on 2 July 2014.

Also during 2014 they supported the 1975 on tour around the UK.

Circa Waves performed at various festivals during the summer of 2014, including Hurricane and Southside Festivals in Germany, Latitude Festival, T in the Park, Glastonbury Festival, and Splendour in the Grass (Australia). They also performed at Arenal Sound (Spain), Summer Sonic Festival in Japan, and at Reading and Leeds Festival at the end of August 2014.

Young Chasers (2014–2015)
The band released their debut studio album, Young Chasers, on 30 March 2015 which reached 10 in the UK Album Charts and performed at a number of festivals, including Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds and Boardmasters.

title: Thomas Campbell (sculptor)

text:
Thomas Campbell (1 May 1790 – 4 February 1858) was a Scottish sculptor in the early 19th century. He has several important public works, most notably a statue of Sarah Siddons in Westminster Abbey. He also has several works in the National Gallery in London. He was heavily patronised by the British aristocracy, as evidenced by his works.

Life
He was born in Tolbooth parish, Edinburgh Old Town, now part of the Royal Mile. He was the son of Douglas Campbell, "gentleman servant", and Helen Thorburn.

He was apprenticed to John Marshall, marble cutter on Leith Walk. During his apprenticeship he befriended James Locke, later to be credited with the naming Tweed. Whilst at Marshall's, over three years, he sculpted two figures for the facade of the Royal Bank of Scotland, which around 1817 attracted the patronage of Gilbert Innes of Stow, depute governor of the Bank. He paid for Campbell to study at the Royal Academy Schools in London from 1818, and also permitted him to set up a studio in Rome, Italy in 1819, where a connection continued until 1830. In Rome he met with both Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen.

In London he studied under Joseph Nollekens and assisted Edward Hodges Baily.
He was briefly assisted in Rome and London by his much younger and short-lived brother, James Campbell (1810–1833).

His London studio was originally at 28 Leicester Square. From 1833 to 1857 his studio was at 15/16 Great Marlborough Street, London.
He died unmarried at 1 Great Castle Street in London. He is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery in London.

text:
HWD Hospital Radio is a hospital radio station which broadcasts to the patients and staff of Mid Yorkshire Trust hospitals in West Yorkshire, England. The station is a member of the Hospital Broadcasting Association and is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, number 227515.

History
HWD Hospital Radio is the broadcasting name of the Heavy Woollen District Hospitals Broadcasts Association. The station's first broadcast was live commentary of a rugby match at Batley’s Mount Pleasant Stadium in 1952. It received so many compliments that commentaries began to be broadcast on a more regular basis.

Record requests began in the late 1950s when the station set up a studio in the attic of Batley General Hospital. From there it broadcast to the former Dewsbury General Hospital, Staincliffe Hospital and five care homes across the Heavy Woollen District.

In the 1980s, the National Health Service announced plans to build a new hospital to replace Batley General Hospital, Dewsbury General Hospital and Staincliffe Hospital. HWD Hospital Radio moved to a brand-new studio complex at the newly built Dewsbury and District Hospital in 1989, where it remains to this day. The studios were officially opened on 23 November 1989 by Harry Gration of BBC Look North.

HWD Hospital Radio has extended and refurbished its studio complex over the years to include the latest digital technology. The station broadcasts 24 hours a day online, through its website.

A wide variety of programmes are broadcast covering a range of genres as well as sports commentary, entertainment and news. Listener participation is welcomed and encouraged. The ever-popular Sunday morning request show, You Pick the Mix,  is open for patients and their relatives to select the music played.

Towards the end of 2016, HWD Hospital Radio began work to refurbish its main on air studio. This work was completed in February 2017. On 30 March 2017, actress, television writer and Labour Co-operative MP for Batley and Spen, Tracy Brabin, officially opened the refurbished studio, along with Martin Barkley; Chief Executive of the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

title: Shane Walsh (Gaelic footballer)

text:
Shane Walsh (born 4 June 1993) is a Gaelic footballer who plays for the Kilmacud Crokes club and at senior level for the Galway county team. He previously played for the Kilkerrin-Clonberne club from 2010 to 2022.

Club

Kilkerrin-Clonberne
Walsh played for the  Kilkerrin-Clonberne club in North Galway from 2010 to 2022. They compete in the Galway Intermediate Football Championship.

Kilmacud transfer
On 30 July 2022, news emerged that Walsh was seeking a transfer to reigning Dublin Senior Football Champions Kilmacud Crokes.

On 1 August 2022, he confirmed his intention to join Kilmacud Crokes in time to play in the upcoming Dublin championship. In a brief statement, Walsh pointed out that he was now studying and living in Dublin and that while he intended to return to his home club of Kilkerrin-Clonberne before the end of his playing days, a switch to the Stillorgan-based club was "the right move" for him. His transfer was completed on 25 August.

Walsh made his debut as a substitute on 4 September against  Templeogue Synge Street. He scored 0-1 in their 3-25 to 1-06 win.

He scored 1-3 in the 2023 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship Final and in the process won his first All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.

Inter-county
Walsh joined the Galway county football team in 2013 after a highly successful underage county and schools career with St Jarlath's College, Tuam.

Walsh was nominated for both an All-Star and the Young Footballer of the Year award in 2014. In addition he has received All Star nominations in 2018, 2020 and 2021.

He has reached All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Quarter Finals in 2014 and 2016. An All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Semi Final in 2018.

He is the winner of three Connacht Senior Football Championships in 2016, 2018 and 2021.

Galway captaincy
Galway manager Pádraic Joyce named Walsh as captain ahead of the 2020 season. He remained as captain for two seasons until Joyce appointed Seán Kelly as his successor ahead of the 2022 season.

2022 season
Walsh was at the centre of an incident during the first half of Galway's 2022 All-Ireland SFC semi-final win against Derry when the Hawk-Eye score detection system malfunctioned and overruled an umpire who signalled that Walsh's '45 into Hill 16 late in the half had gone over the bar. This meant that Galway entered the half-time break a point behind. However, the referee retrospectively awarded the point and the game resumed for the second half with the teams level on the scoreboard.

Walsh was voted Footballer of the Week on the GAA.ie website after Galway's defeat in the 2022 All-Ireland SFC final, a game in which he scored nine points. He also won an All Star that year.

title: Jeyakumari Balendran

text:
Jeyakumari Balendran is a Sri Lankan Tamil woman and an activist campaigning for the families of those who disappeared while in Sri Lankan military custody. Sri Lankan government forces currently have Ms Jeyakumari and her 13-year-old daughter Vipoosika in detention at an unknown location. They gained prominence during British Prime Minister David Cameron’s visit to Jaffna in November, when Vipoosika’s desperate pleas for the return of her missing brother gained widespread coverage. Civil society campaigners have expressed concern for the safety of mother and daughter.

Protests against the Government of Sri Lanka

Forced disappearance of son
Jeyakumari's youngest son was conscripted into the LTTE prior to the final stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War that was being waged in the Northern  and Eastern parts of the country. Having survived the war and rejoined his family, the boy was asked to surrender to the Sri Lanka Armed Forces. Jeyakumari heeded the call of the authorities and surrendered her son, who was 15 years old at the time. He vanished while in the custody of the Lankan state, after he was photographed being ‘rehabilitated’.

Since then Jeyakumari has been engaged in a peaceful struggle to discover the whereabouts not only of her son, but also of thousands of others who 'disappeared' while in the Sri Lankan military's custody. She emerged as one of the leading human rights activists in the Northern Province among thousands of widows and children who lost their husbands, fathers and loved ones during the conflict. She and Vipoosika have been prominent in campaigns to establish the whereabouts of missing people.

Demonstrations in 2013
Jeyakumari led the demonstration that greeted British Prime Minister David Cameron when he visited Jaffna in November 2013. She and Vipoosika were at the forefront of a weeping crowd that held up photographs of their missing relatives.

Arrest

Jeyakumari and Vipoosika were arrested in March 2014 on alleged charges that they were harboring a suspected criminal who had shot and wounded a policeman. Hundreds of troops surrounded the area while the arrest took place. The Sri Lankan Police later announced that both had been detained by officers attached to the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID). When one of her friends tried to contact her by phone, the military personnel terminated the call and the phone was switched off. TNPF leader, Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam, who was able to speak briefly to Ms Jeyakumari soon after the raid began, said she was being threatened for taking part in protests by families of those who had disappeared.

Jeyakumari is still being detained without any charge. She fears for her life because she possesses tangible evidence against the Sri Lankan Armed Forces for rights violations, especially in relation to the disappearance of her husband, the killing of her two sons and the disappearance of the third. She has a strong case against the government because it published a photograph of her son in a government book depicting rehabilitation of rebel fighters. Furthermore, the Sri Lankan state has also detained Ruki Fernando and Father Praveen Mahesan, human right defenders in the north, who were documenting her arrest and trying to assist her.

International organisations such as the Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances (AFAID) and Asian Human Rights Commission(AHRC) have expressed shock and concern over Jeyakumari's arbitrary detention and believe that her life is in danger. Prior to the arrests of Fernando and Jeyakumari, several other human rights defenders and critics of the authoritarian Rajapaksa-led government were intimidated, harassed, and have disappeared.

title: The Eagle Wounded by an Arrow

text:
The situation of the Eagle Wounded by an Arrow vaned with its own feathers is referred to in several ancient Greek sources and is listed as fable 276 in the Perry Index. It is generally applied to the misery of realising that one has contributed to one's own injury but also as a warning against self-reliant pride.

The fable and its interpretations
The earliest mention of the fable is a brief reference in The Myrmidons, a lost tragedy of Aeschylus written in the 5th century BCE. Here it is said to be of Libyan origin and is generally supposed to refer to the personal blame felt by Achilles for the death of his friend Patroclus.
So the eagle, pierced by the bow-sped shaft, looked
 At the feathered device and said, “Thus, not by others,
But by means of our own plumage are we slain”.

Widespread references to the fable afterwards suggest that it had gained proverbial force. A version titled  "The Archer and the Eagle" and ascribed to Aesop appeared among the collection of fables by Babrius.

The fable did not appear in mediaeval collections of fables reliant on Latin sources but began to be noticed in Europe from the 16th century. In Guillaume La Perrière's Emblem book Le théatre des bons engins (The theatre of fine devices, 1544), there is an illustration of the wounded eagle accompanied by a verse commenting that its sorrow at being struck down is doubled by the knowledge that it has furnished the means for its own destruction. But when the situation appeared in La Fontaine's Fables, it was under the more generalised title of "The bird wounded by an arrow" (II.6) and a wider lesson is drawn from the incident. The dying bird blames humans for using its own parts against itself and claims that they have learnt this cruelty from the way they treat each other.

A contemporary French emblem book took a different view of how the bird had contributed to its own hurt. Daniel de la Feuille's Devises et emblêmes (1691) starts from the perception that the bird in the poem was on the look-out for a hare. If another hunter brings it down while so engaged, then it is a case of poetic justice, of having inflicted on itself the harm it was purposing to inflict on others. Illustrated under the Latin title Capiens capior (the preyer become prey), it shows a sparrow hawk perched on a hare with an arrow through its own neck. There is also a coded reference to the fable in a mountain landscape by Anne-Louis Girodet dating from 1793/5. There an eagle pierced by an arrow lies at the foot of the picture, while towards it a huge snake is crawling across the rocks. Its writhing is echoed by the strangling ivy that climbs the tree beneath which the bird has fallen. Violence and cruelty is not limited to the human sphere; in the artist's eyes they are characteristic of nature as a whole.

The Greek origin of the fable was not lost sight of in France and Isaac de Benserade included L'aigle percé d'une flèche in his collection of Aesop's fables, recounting how it had allowed certain feathers to drop while grooming itself which were collected by the hunter who shot it.
Pierre de Frasnay (1676–1753) also provided a four-line poetic version in his Mythologie ou recueil des fables grecques, ésopiques et sybaritiques (Orléans 1750). The moral he drew from the story was that one should not be too self-reliant, for that too is an avenue that leads to harm.

Condemnation of pride was the interpretation given the fable when it travelled eastwards as well. In the 11th century Diwan (poetical works) of Nasir Khusraw, an eagle soars through the air, vaunting itself. When it is brought down by a hunter and recognises the feathers on the arrow, the realisation comes that it has been injured by its own means. Pieter de la Court was to give the story a similar interpretation in his Sinryke Fabulen (1685), making the point that those who thrust themselves into prominence become the mark for others to harm. The point is underlined by the Latin tag beneath the illustration of the injured bird, an adaptation of proverbial lines from the 4th century Latin poet Claudian: Vivitur exiguo melius, natura beatis / omnibus esse dedit, si quis cognoverit uti (it is better to live on little, [nature has provided for all to do so happily,] could one but know it).

Yet another fable of similar meaning is numbered 303 in the Perry Index. In it an oak (or a pine in another version) complains of being split by wedges made from its own branches. Commentaries on these fables point out that suffering is increased by the knowledge that it is one's own fault.

Poetical allusions
The proverbial image of the wounded eagle was to become a common conceit in English poetry of the 17th century and after. Just as Aeschylus described his image as coming from Libya, James Howell identifies the 2nd century writer Lucian as his source in a commendatory poem on the work of Giles Fletcher:
England, like Lucian’s eagle with an arrow
Of her own plumes, piercing her heart quite thorow.
As he does so, he is also echoing the same conceit used in Fletcher's poem "Christ's Victory in Heaven".

Two poets identified with the Cavalier cause also used the conceit. Katherine Philips placed it at the start of her poem "On Controversies in Religion" (1667), arguing that religion becomes the victim of misapplied texts
And meets that Eagles destiny, whose breast
Felt the same shaft which his own feathers drest.
Edmund Waller, on the other hand, turned the image to Baroque hyperbole by making himself the victim of "A Lady singing a Song of his Composing".

The image was still current at the start of the 19th century. Lord Byron used it in the course of lamenting the early death of Henry Kirke White while still a student. At more or less the same time, Thomas Moore applied it in his early political poem "Corruption" (1808).

Artistic use

La Fontaine's version of the fable was illustrated by woodcuts in various editions over the centuries, usually by nothing more original than a picture of a bird lying on the ground with an arrow piercing its neck or breast. One or other of these served as model for the left-hand page of Kawanabe Kyosui's coloured woodcut in the collectors edition Choix de Fables de La Fontaine published from Tokyo in 1894 with illustrations by Japanese artists. What brings the composition to life is the depiction of the bowman crouching on the bushy shore on the right-hand page.

Marc Chagall also included a distant bowman in his coloured print of 1927 but gives greater prominence to the death agonies of the wounded bird, which is echoed by the waving foliage in the background. André Masson's L'oiseau percé de flèches (1925) equally gives a sense of painful movement. In this Cubist work, the stricken bird inclines diagonally across a stylised rocky background and still aspires upwards.

The painting by Rosa Bonheur of a wounded eagle in mid-air (c. 1870) is not generally referred to the original Greek fable and no arrow is shown there. Instead, it is the eagle's political symbolism on which critics comment, interpreting the work as referring both to the defeat of Napoleon III in the Franco-Prussian war and to the injury to the Prussian state of its aggression. Nevertheless, the theme of harm brought by its own agency is available as an alternative reading.

Among musical settings of La Fontaine's fable are Heitor Villa-Lobos' for voice and piano (1913), and that of Marcelle de Manziarly as the second of her Trois Fables de La Fontaine (1935). In addition, it was Marianne Moore’s poetical versions that were used in Ned Rorem's Fables (1971) as the basis of his 'very short operas', of which "The bird wounded by an arrow" is placed third. More recently it featured as the third piece in Vladimir Cosma's Eh bien ! Dansez maintenant (2006), a light-hearted interpretation for narrator and orchestra in the style of a funeral march.

title: Woolundunga Station

text:
Woolundunga Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station in South Australia.

It is situated approximately  north west of Wilmington and  south west of Quorn at the foot of the Flinders Ranges.

The leasehold has existed since 1859. The station was put up for auction in 1863 and sold to Charles Swinden. At that time it occupied an area of  and was stocked with approximately 15,000 sheep, 500 cattle and 24 horses.

Walter Kingsmill acquired the property in the 1860s. He also owned Mount Brown, Mount Serle and Mount Chambers Stations.

By 1922 the station was in a terrible state, nearly devoid of vegetation, as a result of drought, overstocking and the effects of rabbits.

A new two-storey homestead was built on the Station in 1950, a replica of one built in about 1892.

In late 1950, scenes for the film Kangaroo were shot on Woolundunga, and the Station was temporarily renamed as Rooloora for American audiences of the film.

In 2012 the entire area was ravaged by fire, killing 600 sheep and burning out .

title: Tùng Dương

text:
Tùng Dương (birth name Nguyễn Tùng Dương, born September 18, 1983) is a Vietnamese singer. He came to fame after the 2004 music contest Sao Mai điểm hẹn, in which he won first place as ranked by the judges. Songs he performed in the contest, most of which are contemporary folk songs written by Lê Minh Sơn, were included in his first studio album called Chạy trốn (2004). After ceasing from performing Lê Minh Sơn's compositions, Tùng Dương started to sing songs by other songwriters such as Ngọc Đại, Như Huy, Giáng Son, Lưu Hà An, and performed in two music shows, Vọng Nguyệt by songwriter Quốc Trung and Gió bình minh by songwriter Đỗ Bảo.

Biography

Early life and childhood
Tùng Dương was born on September 18th, 1983, in Hà Nội. His father's homeland is Quảng Trị. He is the eldest child in his family. His father is a businessman, his mother was once the owner of a make-up and photo shop ~ later she became the costume designer for Tùng Dương. While his parents weren't singers, Dương had been exposed to music early in life, especially under the influence of his grandfather, songwriter Trần Hoàn. Other than that, poet Phạm Hổ and songwriter Phạm Thế Mỹ were his grandmother's younger brothers. When Tùng Dương was in grade 3, his parents went to Russia for business, and Dương was brought up by his uncles. In Russia, his parents often sent him new CDs. He had been exposed to jazz since he was very young, which helped shape his musical style later on.

In 1995, Tùng Dương received his first award, a silver medal at the 1995 Vietnam National Radio and Television Broadcast Talented Vocalist (Huy chương bạc Giọng hát hay Phát thanh Truyền hình Toàn quốc). Soon after that, when he was 12, Dương was delegated as the youngest member of Vietnam Singing and Dancing Team (Đoàn Ca múa nhạc Việt Nam) to perform in Moscow.

In 1999, Tùng Dương passed the entrance test of Hanoi Conservatory of Music (currently the Vietnam National Academy of Music), and studied under the guidance of Quang Thọ. Tùng Dương continued to win numerous awards, namely the third prize of Hanoi Music Contest for Young Singers in 1999, third prize and first prize of Hanoi Music Contest for Talented Singers in 2001 and 2003, respectively. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from the Academy in 2007.

title: Fernandinho (footballer, born March 1993)

text:
Fernando Henrique da Conceição (), known as Fernandinho, Fernando Henrique or Fei Nanduo (; born 16 March 1993), is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Chinese Super League club Shandong Taishan.

Born in Brazil, he obtained Chinese citizenship through naturalization.

Club career
Fernandinho began his professional career with his local lower league side Atlético Sorocaba after graduating from their youth team. After playing in several games he was bought by sports marketing company Traffic and trained with top tier club Flamengo who decided to buy 70% of the economic rights of the player. On 15 August 2012 the manager Dorival Júnior decided to give Fernando his debut for the club in a league game against Palmeiras where he came on as a substitute for Thomás Jaguaribe in a game that ended in a 1-0 defeat. The following season Mano Menezes became the manager of the team and decided to give him a run of games and a new name of just Fernando.

At the start of the 2014 league season it was decided that Fernando needed regular playing time and he joined third tier club Madureira. He would soon join top tier Portuguese team Estoril Praia soon afterwards before going on loan to struggling top tier Chinese side Chongqing Lifan. The move would see Chongqing avoid relegation and Fernando was offered a permanent four year contract with the club. After four seasons with the club Fernando was sold to another top tier Chinese club in Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao who immediately loaned him out to Hebei China Fortune.

On 8 April 2023, Fernando joined Chinese Super League club Shandong Taishan, but without being officially introduced he played a 2023 Chinese FA Super Cup against Wuhan Three Towns after being named in the substitutes. Three days later, Shandong Taishan officially announced that they had signed Fernando.

title: SV Raisting

text:
The SV Raisting is a German association football club from the town of Raisting, Bavaria.

The club's greatest success came in 2013, when it qualified for the southern division of the Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system.

History
SV Raisting, for the most of its history, has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football. The club was formed in 1924 as Sportabteilung Raisting as part of local club MTV Diessen. Playing only friendlies in the early year the club became independent in 1929 under its current name. Disbanded at the end of the Second World War SV Raisting reformed on 8 July 1946, and entered local football once more in the Zugspitze region. In the following decades the club fluctuated between the lowest division, the C-Klasse, and two levels higher, the A-Klasse. In 1959, SVR faced a crises that led to the club almost being disbanded but it recovered. It built a new home ground in 1969 with the earth works being carried out by the US Army.

The club won promotion to the Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Süd in 1979 and again in 1991. In 1994, itwon a championship in the Bezirksliga and earned promotion to the Bezirksoberliga.

Raisting played in the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern, the highest league in Upper Bavaria, for three seasons from 1994 onwards, finishing in the bottom half of the table each year and eventually being relegated again in 1997. After two years in the Bezirksliga the club returned to the Bezirksoberliga again in 1999. The club's second three season stint in this league was more successful, culminating in promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd in 2002.

The club's first ever Landesliga season was unsuccessful, finishing sixteenth and being relegated again. Four more Bezirksoberliga seasons followed before Raisting returned to the Landesliga for a second time in 2007. On this occasion, Raisting lasted for two seasons before dropping down again in 2009. The club dropped straight from the Landesliga via the Bezirksoberliga to the Bezirksliga and rose back up again to the Bezirksoberliga by 2011. The 2011–12 season was to be the last of the Bezirksoberliga and Raisting, despite only finishing eleventh qualified for the Landesliga, the later having been expanded from three to five divisions.

The club came second in the inaugural season of the Landesliga Bayern-Südwest and, via the promotion round, earned promotion to the Bayernliga. Raisting came eleventh in its first season in the southern division of the Bayernliga in 2013–14. The club finished on a relegation play-off rank in the 2014–15 season and, after losing to FV Illertissen II in the first round, was relegated back to the Landesliga.

Recent seasons
The recent season-by-season performance of the club:

With the introduction of the Bezirksoberligas in 1988 as the new fifth tier, below the Landesligas, all leagues below dropped one tier. With the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 and the 3. Liga in 2008 as the new third tier, below the 2. Bundesliga, all leagues below dropped one tier. With the establishment of the Regionalliga Bayern as the new fourth tier in Bavaria in 2012 the Bayernliga was split into a northern and a southern division, the number of Landesligas expanded from three to five and the Bezirksoberligas abolished. All leagues from the Bezirksligas onwards were elevated one tier.

title: Talk Back and You're Dead

text:
Talk Back and You're Dead is a 2014 Filipino romantic comedy-action film directed by Andoy Ranay, starring James Reid, Nadine Lustre and Joseph Marco and is based on the bestselling novel of the same name originally published on Wattpad by Alesana Marie. The film was distributed by Viva Films Skylight Films & Star Cinema and was released on August 20, 2014, in theaters nationwide.

Plot

A boy and girl in costumes promise each other that they will someday marry. In the present day, Miracle Samantha Perez is inside a bookstore and notices her friend Michie confronting Timothy Odelle "Top" Pendleton with his girlfriend outside. Samantha assumes Top is cheating on Michie and joins the scene. She slaps and insults him, and her friends drag her away from the scene. Inside the girls' comfort room, Michie and her other friends, China and Maggie, admit the scene with Top was only playtime because they want Hershey to break up with Top. At home, Samantha's scene with Top goes viral on the internet. While taking up an exam later, Samantha receives a call from Top, but she curses him when greeted rudely, resulting in her phone being confiscated by her teacher. Top tries calling again, but the teacher answers instead and they end up cursing each other again. Top arrives with his gang at St. Celestine to abduct Samantha where Jared "Red" Dela Cruz brings her to a night club.

At the night club, Top asks Samantha to date him but she refuses. In the middle of their argument, Piggy's gang arrives and starts a fight. Top is badly hurt after the fight and Samantha worries about his condition. She asks a doctor of Top's condition, and mistakenly believes that he has a brain cancer and will die. Samantha agrees to be his girlfriend, then Top admits he will not die. Samantha realizes this and intends to leave him but is threatened by Top to try to avoid him. Samantha also discovers that Top is not a common gangster but the leader of the Lucky 13, the most notorious gang of the district. At the mall, Top breaks up with Hershey and introduces Samantha as his new girlfriend. Back at school, Samantha hears some rumors that Red's sister, Audrey Dela Cruz, has a gangster boyfriend from Pendleton High named Top. Piggy's gang abducts Audrey as they mistake her for Top's girlfriend in order to lure him to their hideout, but Top overpowers Piggy's gang and saves Audrey. Top confronts Samantha if she gave Piggy the information that Audrey was his girlfriend in which she denies. He warns Samantha to be careful and not to get caught.

Samantha believes that Top is just playing on her, so she confronts Audrey. Meanwhile, at dinner, Top told his parents that he already has a girlfriend and he will invite her for tomorrow dinner. Top picks up Samantha from school and brings her to his house for dinner with his family, but the dinner ends up with Top and his father arguing about the death of Top's mother. That night, Top breaks up with Samantha because she was too perfect for him, but Samantha has already fallen in love with him. Samantha is badly hurt that Top broke up with her, then Audrey told her that Top was an ex-convict. After school, Samantha was abducted by Piggy's gang in order to avenge. Top and his gang arrives at Piggy's hideout and start fighting where they overpower Piggy's gang. Samantha calls Top an ex-convict and he was stunned of what he heard, as Red takes Samantha home telling her that Top is not really a bad guy and it was the second time that Top saves her as the first was a mistaken identity caused by Samantha. Samantha invites Top to a date to make peace of what she has said. At Pendleton High, Top humiliates Samantha in front of everyone for being present at their basketball game. Top apologizes to Samantha for humiliating her at his school then Top confesses his true feelings for Samantha and they become officially lovers. At a theme park, Top gives Samantha a teddy bear which he got from Audrey's date after the guy verbally harassed Samantha which angered Top and knocks down the guy unconscious. Samantha and Audrey finally make peace of their dislike toward each other. Top went to the guy who stole Samantha's teddy bear to bring it back to her and beats the guy. Top and Red went to Samantha's house to give back the teddy bear but Top was surprised when he saw Lee, Samantha's cousin. Top asks Lee why he lied to him in believe that Sammy/Samantha was in Japan and Lee admits to him that Samantha was bound to a fixed marriage and he can never have Samantha. Upset on what he discovered, Top breaks up again with her but Samantha wanted Top to fight for them.

With no other options, Top and Samantha decide to live-in, far away from their families. They stay in Top's beach house for several days. Red and the rest of the gang arrives at the beach house as Red had a plan. Red told Samantha that her parents knows where she is and they intend to sue Top of kidnapping and rape since Samantha is still a minor that will cause a huge issue between the Perez and the Pendleton Group of Companies. Samantha decides to go home in order to save Top from being jailed. Back at home, Samantha's parents were so upset for what she has done and her parents told her that Top was ex-convicted for kidnapping. Shocked, Samantha confronts Top about it but she was surprised when he admits it. She also learns that the person he kidnapped was his girlfriend, who turns out to be his half-sister. She admits to Samantha that Top actually helped her to escape from his abusive father. Upset of what she heard, she goes to see Top at his mother's tombstone to apologize and Top introduces Samantha to his mother. Samantha discovers that Lee and his parents lied to him because they want her to marry another man.

The Perez family celebrated a special night announcing the marriage of their only heir, Samantha, to the eldest sibling of the Dela Cruz family, Red. Top goes to the party with blonde hair and hears that Samantha and Red are getting married. Samantha, mad that she will marry her boyfriend's best friend, tries to convince Red to refuse the marriage, as an angry Top confronts Red because of his betrayal to him. Samantha asks him to leave, with her ending up their relationship because no one can do anything. Samantha was told by her parents that they will be leaving for France together with Red. At St. Celestine, the Lucky 13 gang tells Samantha that Top is waiting outside before playing a live song performance. She goes outside and sees Top at his car apologizing that she can't do anything about the marriage but she still loves him promising that she will be back for him and Top replied to her that he is willing to wait for the day she returns and they kiss under the fireworks.

Two years later, Samantha receives a call from Audrey that Top got into an accident after he mysteriously vanished without anyone knowing. Samantha and Red return home and Samantha realizes that Top could be at his beach house. She goes to the beach house and she watches a video footage of a boy and a girl making promises to each other that they will be getting married someday, as seen in the beginning of the film. Meanwhile, Red admits to Audrey that he has fallen in love with Samantha. As Samantha recalls the lost memories of her past where she and Top made a promise to each other as children, a dog walks through and leads her to Top at the beach. Samantha sees his realization that he has lost his sight, and Top asks God for a miracle because he badly needs one. Samantha then hugs Top with tears of joy at their reunion.

Production

Casting
According to the author of the novel, Joseph Marco is the perfect role for Timothy "Top" Pendleton but the producers instead gave Marco the character of Jared "Red" Dela Cruz.

Deleted scene
The scene where Samantha lost her other shoe after Top Pendleton fights the gang members who chased her. Jared carries her home. The clip wasn't featured in the actual movie but can be seen in the trailer. Another scene features Jared inviting Samantha on a date.

Soundtrack
The movie's soundtrack is entitled "Bahala Na" (Eng. Translation: Come What May), a duet featuring the two stars of the film, Nadine Lustre and James Reid.

Reception

Box office
According to the showbiz news reporter Ginger Conejero of TV Patrol, the film earned PHP 30 Million on its first 3 days of showing. Box Office Mojo places the total gross of PHP 76,941,733 as of September 14, 2014, second to the top-grosser Rurouni Kenshin. There has been no official release of the final box office gross from the film's production.

Critical response
Philbert Ortiz-Dy of Click the City gave a mixed review in the film, stating that "The film just feels hastily assembled, its only real purpose to provide another platform for the onscreen pairing of Nadine Lustre and James Reid [...] but the pair works best outside the machinations of the plot, when the movie simply gives them the room to linger in an intimate moment." He also stated that "Talk Back and You're Dead makes so little sense that it may as well be taking place in an entirely different universe. What starts out as a weird little tale of animosity growing into affection turns into a monster of melodramatic convolutions reliant on information that's mostly hidden from the audience."

Zig Marasigan of Rappler gave a negative review of the film, stating "Trying to make sense of Talk Back and You're Dead is very much like watching a snake eat its own tail. It's fascinatingly grotesque, watching a serpent devour itself from the outside. It slowly works towards its delicate innards, oblivious to its own demise. The snake eventually dies from its own gastric juices, and all you're left with is a reptilian corpse that is just too eager but too consumed to tell its tail from its meal. Talk Back and You're Dead doesn't have a horrible story, it simply doesn't have a story. But if a film like Talk Back and You're Dead can be produced and released without a need for story, who needs writers?"

Cancelled sequel
During the end credits, a clip from the sequel was shown and it is confirmed that there will be a sequel of this film, entitled Never Talk Back To A Gangster.

As of 2018, there is still no confirmation by the director or the production staff about the said sequel coming out.

title: Digital buffer

text:
A digital buffer (or a voltage buffer) is an electronic circuit element used to isolate an input from an output. The buffer's output state mirrors the input state. The buffer's input impedance is high. It draws little current, to avoid disturbing the input circuit. Also called a unity gain buffer, a digital buffer does not intentionally amplify or attenuate the input signal.

The digital buffer is important in data transmission, translating voltage pulses between connected systems. Buffers are used in registers (data storage device) and buses (data transferring device). A tri-state digital buffer can connect a device to a digital bus. The tri-state buffer's output is either high, low, or disconnected.

Functionality
A digital buffer transfers a voltage from a high output impedance circuit to a second circuit with low input impedance. Directly connecting a low impedance load to a power source draws current according to Ohm's law. The high current affects the source. Digital buffer inputs are high impedance. A buffered load effectively does not affect the source circuit. The buffer's output current is generated within the buffer. In this way, a buffer provides isolation between a power source and a low impedance input.

Types

Single input voltage buffer

Inverting buffer
This buffer's output state is the opposite of the input state. If the input is high, the output is low, and vice versa. Graphically, an inverting buffer is represented by a triangle with a small circle at the output, with the circle signifying inversion. The inverter is a basic building block in digital electronics. Decoders, state machines, and other sophisticated digital devices often include inverters.

Non-inverting buffer
This kind of buffer performs no inversion or decision-making possibilities. A single input digital buffer is different from an inverter. It does not invert or alter its input signal in any way. It reads an input and outputs a value. Usually, the input side reads either HIGH or LOW input and outputs a HIGH or LOW value, correspondingly. Whether the output terminal sends off HIGH or LOW signal is determined by its input value. The output value will be high if and only if the input value is high. In other words, Q will be high if and only if A is HIGH.

Tri-state digital buffer
Unlike the single input digital buffer which has only one input, Tri-state digital buffer has two inputs: a data input and a control input. (A control input is analogous to a valve, which controls the data flow.) When the control input is active, the output value is the input value, and the buffer is not different from the single input digital buffer.

Active high tri-state digital buffer
An active high tri-state digital buffer is a buffer with control input high as an active state. When the control input is 1, data transmission occurs. When the control input is 0,

"Hi-Z" indicates no current and high impedance, as if the part had been removed from the circuit. When the control input is 0, the output is the "Hi-Z" state. When the control input is 1, the data input is transmitted to the output.

Active low tri-state digital buffer
It is basically the same as active high digital buffer except the fact that the buffer is active when the control input is at a low state.

Inverting tri-state digital buffer
Tri-State digital buffers also have inverting varieties in which the output is the inverse of the input.

Application
Single input voltage buffers are used in many places for measurements including:
 In strain gauge circuitry to measure deformations in structures like bridges, airplane wings and I-beams in buildings.
 In temperature measurement circuitry for boilers and in high altitude aircraft in a cold environment.
 In control circuits for aircraft, people movers in airports, subways and in many different production operations.
Tri-state voltage buffers are used widely on buses, which allows multiple devices communicate with each other. A bus can only read one data input from a device at one time, and that is when a tri-state buffer is applied. A tri-state buffer, with its control input, can prevent a bus from reading excessive input.

title: Almond Castle

text:
Almond Castle is a ruined L-plan castle dating from the 15th century. It is located  west of Linlithgow, and north of the Union Canal, in Falkirk, Scotland. It was known as Haining Castle until the 17th century. The structure is unsound and is  protected as a scheduled monument.

History
The estate originally belonged to the Crawford family, and they built the castle in about 1470.  In about 1540 it passed by marriage to the Livingstones, who built an extension at the south west.  They also built an extension along the south east wall in 1586. When James Livingstone was created Baron Livingstone of Almond in 1633 the castle's name was changed to Almond from Haining.  After the Jacobite rising of 1715 the castle was forfeited to the crown by the Livingstone Earls of Callendar.  It was abandoned in the 1750s.
In 1783 the ruin was sold to William Forbes by the York Buildings Company.

Structure
The ruin has a vaulted basement.  The hall was on the first floor, while there is a kitchen in the wing.  There is a courtyard, with a wall and ditch, enclosing the remains of 16th-century buildings. The castle was four storeys and a garret high.  The entrance, on the long south east face, gave access to the first floor.
