title: Emilio Cueche

text:
Emilio Cueche [eh-mee'-leo / coo-eh'-chay] (October 20, 1927 – July 31, 2006) was a Venezuelan professional baseball player. He was nicknamed ″Indio″.

Born in Barcelona, Anzoátegui, the righthander Cueche was one of the most dominant pitchers in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League during the decade of the 1950.

Actually, Cueche tried to starting out as a shortstop. Although Venezuela is renowned for producing noteworthy shortstops, he was not destined to be one of them. He was short, stocky, but uncommonly strong and well fit. At 5-foot-6 (1.68 m), 160 pounds (73 k), Cueche might not have had the physique of most of his contemporaries, though he relied on tenacity, savvy and hard-breaking pitches to establish himself as one of the most trustworthy pitchers of his era.

Besides a lively fastball, his repertoire included a slider, a knuckler, a changeup and a curve, being the latter one of his most effective pitches.

Through his brief career, Cueche set several records in the VPBL that still remain intact. Considered a workhorse who could pitch deep into games, he also was known as a slick-fielding pitcher and competent hitter as well. As a result, Cueche was often used in a pinch-hitting role, and also played in the outfield due to his defensive skills.

Apart from his 12-season stint in the Venezuela league, he made six Caribbean Series appearances and played nine full seasons in Minor League Baseball and the Dominican Republic and Mexico leagues during the same period.

Professional career
Cueche made his professional debut during the winter of 1950–1951 with the Cervecería Caracas of the Venezuelan League. The Cervecería club was guided by experienced manager José Antonio Casanova, who used Cueche in a relatively low-pressure role as a middle reliever before giving him a spot in the starting rotation late in the season. The young pitcher responded with a 5–2 record and a 3.28 earned run average in 15 games. He completed three of his five starts, giving up 59 hits and 33 walks, while striking out 23 batters in  innings pitched. He also collected 12 hits in 54 at bats for a .222 average in 28 games, which included two doubles, one home run, nine runs and six RBI. After the season, he earned Rookie of the Year honors.

Cueche was assigned to the Sabios de Vargas in 1951–1952, as he posted a 6–7 record and a 3.76 ERA in 23 of the 54 games of the team. He completed five of his nine starts, racking up more walks (62) than strikeouts (59) in  innings, a work overload for a young pitcher, even though he showed tendency to fall behind in the count, making it harder for him to get an out. In addition, he hit .204 (10-for-49) and slugged .286 in 31 games. He then served as a reinforcement in the Navegantes del Magallanes during the 1952 Caribbean Series, where he tossed  scoreless innings in two relief appearances, giving up two singles, while striking out two and walking one batter.

But the control issues did not last long for a player propelled by a natural talent and willingness to work out his proven deficiencies. Progressing rapidly, Cueche showed positive results in a short-term period. After the Series ended, he joined the Águilas Cibaeñas club of the now extinct Dominican Republic Summer League.

In 1952 the Águilas won the season pennant, led by veteran pitcher Terris McDuffie, who posted a 14–3 record for a .824 winning percentage. Meantime, Tigres del Licey outfielder Luis Olmo paced the hitters with a .344 average, while teammate Alonzo Perry claimed the home run title with 11 round-trippers. Other than that, most of the Dominican Republic news headlines were dedicated to the Venezuelan Cueche, who went 9–9 with a 2.80 ERA, and topped the league both in strikeouts (101) and innings (148). Moreover, he collected a solid 2.80 ERA and batted .271, but gained notoriety when he defeated pitching ace Rubén Gómez and the rival Tigres de Licey in town, during the decisive seventh game of the final series, by a score of 4–1. Notably, it was the first championship title in the long storied history of the franchise.

Cueche returned with Vargas in the 1952–1953 season. This time he spent more time in the outfield corners, due to a sore arm. He hit .309 (38-for-123) with 16 RBI and 13 runs scored in 44 games, including 10 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases. He slugged .407 and collected the fourth-highest batting average in the four-team league. As a pitcher, he went 3–5 with a 5.37 ERA in just 13 games, along with nine starts, two complete games, 31 strikeouts, and 19 walks in  innings, improving his SO/BB ratio from 0.95 to 1.63. A few weeks later, he came back to the Dominican Republic to play for the Águilas.

The 1953 DRSL season was claimed by the Tigres del Licey. The team was again led by Perry, who repeated as home run titleholder with 11. Estrellas de Oriente slugger Tetelo Vargas captured the batting title with an average of .355, whilst teammate Wilmer Fields showed his success as a two-way player, collecting a 5–2 pitching record and a .393 average in 107 at-bats. On this occasion, McDuffie went 8–4 with a 2.53 ERA for the second place Águilas. Nevertheless, Cueche walked off with most of the pitching honors, as he led the league with 13 victories, 96 strikeouts, 13 complete games, and 161 innings pitched. In addition, Cueche delivered a heroic effort on July 19, 1953, when he hurled a 17-inning, 3–2 complete game victory over the rival Licey club. At the end of the contest, the enthusiastic Águilas fans lifted Cueche up on their shoulders, and carried him triumphantly through the streets of Santiago de los Caballeros to his home, which was relatively near the ballpark.

Throughout the years, the VPBL modified the number of games in the schedule and adopted playoffs. A significant innovation came before the 1953–1954 season, when the league and the rival Western Professional Baseball League agreed to have the most representative clubs from each circuit meet in a National Championship Series called El Rotatorio (the rotational), organized by the VPBL, which was the first and only in the league's history. Accordingly, the VPBL was represented by the Caracas and Magallanes clubs, and the WPBL by the Gavilanes de Maracaibo and Lácteos de Pastora.

Before the tournament, the VPBL shifted players to the WPBL to help maintain parity between the four teams. Cueche was the first of the group selected during the draft, as he joined the Gavilanes briefly after his return from the Dominican Republic.

Cueche went 13–10 with a 3.63 ERA in 33 of the 78 games of his team, while setting regular season records with 18 complete games, five shutouts and 208 innings pitched, feats that never have been matched in Venezuelan baseball. Moreover, he finished one win behind co-leaders Ramón Monzant and Thornton Kipper, and surpassed Tommy Byrne (12), Howie Fox (12) and Ralph Beard (10). With his 208 innings, he beat his counterparts Monzant (187), Kipper (167), Beard (156), Fox (140) and Byrne (119). It was a season dominated by strong pitching, particularly coming from the aforementioned big leaguers, whom Cueche faced on more than one occasion. And, although he also led in losses, Cueche was one of the hardest men in the league to beat, and several times he lost only by the failure of the Gavilanes to score even one run for him.

Cueche later served as a reinforcement for the Pastora champion team during the 1954 Caribbean Series, where he made two relief appearances. In Game 7, against the Alacranes de Almendares of Cuba, he came to rescue Fox with runners on second and third and one out in the third inning. He struck out Angel Scull with relative ease, but gave a walk to Earl Rapp. Then, with bases loaded and two outs, he struck out Julio Bécquer to end the threat, and followed with a scoreless inning of work in the next frame. After that, Cueche replaced Beard early in Game 10 against Puerto Rico's Criollos de Caguas, lasting  innings while giving up one run on six hits. He finished with a 1.04 ERA in  innings in the Series and did not have a decision.

During the 1954 summer he reported to the Havana Sugar Kings, which joined the International League as the Triple A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds in that season. The team was managed by Regino Otero and played its home games at Gran Stadium in Havana, Cuba. Cueche was part of a pitching rotation which featured Hooks Iott, Jiquí Moreno, Ken Raffensberger and Saul Rogovin, all of them with major league experience. He ended with a 13–12 record and a team-best 12 complete games, including one shutout and a 4.80 ERA, giving up 79 walks and striking out 104 batters in 180 innings. He also helped himself with the bat, hitting .307 (23-for-75) and slugging .360 with four doubles, nine runs and 13 RBI, in 57 games as a two-way player for the fifth-place team. At that time he had amassed almost 400 innings pitched between his winter and summer seasons and the Caribbean Series. But he did not show signs of fatigue and went to play winter ball in the Venezuelan league.

The VPBL resumed its activities in the 1954–1955 season, while Cueche found himself on the move again. This time he was allocated to the Santa Marta de La Guaira, which entered the league as a replacement for the departed Vargas club. Cueche was named by manager Red Kress as the Opening Day starter in a rotation that included Bill Werle, Bill Kennedy and Julián Ladera.

In a stellar performance, Cueche won 50 percent of his last-place team's games and topped the league in complete games (13) and pitching appearances (29). His nine wins finished two behind league-leader Ramón Monzant, and his 2.09 ERA was the third best behind José Bracho (1.80) and Monzant (2.00). He also ended third in strikeouts (77), being surpassed only by Monzant (98) and Don Bessent (78). In addition, his 16 starts were second to the 17 of Ben Flowers and his  innings ranked him third, following Monzant (153.0) and Bessent (). Cueche was awarded by the press as the Best Player of the Season, locked in a close race with Monzant, as well as with champion bat Harold Bevan (.350) and slugger Bob Lennon, who led the league in home runs (9) and RBI (37). He then was included on the postseason roster of the pennant-winning Magallanes to fortify the squad for the Caribbean Series.

The 1955 Caribbean Series was held at Estadio Universitario in Caracas, the capital city of Venezuela, which boosted capacity to 22,690 seats. All of that set the stage for Game 4, a contest that stands as one of the most memorable games in Caribbean Series history. In this contest, Cueche scattered two hits in a complete game duel with Almendares ace Joe Hatten, who limited Magallanes to four hits. Cueche turned in a brilliant performance against the powerful Cuban team, throwing a no-hitter through six innings, even though he was the losing pitcher.

It all started in the top of the seventh inning, when a controversial call against Venezuela prompted an angry protest from manager Lázaro Salazar, who was expelled from the game. That led to a near-riot in the grandstand and the angry crowd pelted the field with liquid containers, fruits and stones, causing a 45-minute delay. The long wait hurt Cueche, who walked Earl Rapp on four consecutive pitches in the bottom of the seventh. Then, on a 3-2 count, Rocky Nelson hit a single to right fielder George Wilson, who threw to third base in an unsuccessful attempt to put out Rapp, while Nelson advanced to second on the play. Therefore, Cueche walked intentionally Gus Triandos to load the bases, but allowed a sacrifice fly to Lee Walls that gave the Cuban team a 1–0 lead. Even so, he was able to induce a ground ball, comebacker to Al Lyons and started a 1-2-3 double play to end the threat. He later served a two-out triple to Héctor Rodríguez in the eighth inning, but escaped by striking out Al Federoff.

On two days of rest, Cueche and Hatten pitched through fatigue and faced again in Game 10 of the Series. The Venezuelan clearly won the rematch in a decisive manner and secured a  second place for his team. He came back from a three-run deficit in the fourth inning to defeat Almendares, 6–4, capping another duel between the two squads. Overall, he allowed four earned runs on nine hits and two walks, including a three-run homer to Triandos, and struck out eight batters to earn his second consecutive complete game effort. Additionally, he went 1-for-3 and started his second double play of the tournament (1-4-3).

Afterward, Cueche was one of three pitchers selected for the Series All-Star team, joining Bill Greason and Sad Sam Jones of the Puerto Rico's Cangrejeros de Santurce.

But things got better for Cueche when he returned to the International League in 1955. In that year the improved Havana Sugar Kings climbed to third place in their second season, following an 87–66 record, behind the Montreal Royals and Toronto Maple Leafs Canadians teams. The Sugar Kings received a strong effort from Cueche, who posted a 12–10 record with a 2.97 ERA and two shutouts, while leading the team in starts (24), complete games (9), strikeouts (121) and innings pitched (197 ⅓). He also batted .239 and slugged .308 as a pitcher-outfielder, including one home run, 16 runs, and 16 RBI in 77 of the 153 games of the team. Otero was selected as the Manager of the Year, earning 20 of the possible 35 votes, even though the Sugar Kings could not get past Toronto in the first round of the playoffs, losing in five games.

While Cueche reported to camp training the following VPBL season, he did not have a clear idea of his destination. Amidst a bevy of financial problems, the Santa Marta franchise was sold and renamed Industriales de Valencia before the 1955–1956 season. Valencia retained the services of some Santa Marta players as Julián Ladera and Cueche, and introduced Regino Otero as the team's manager. Otero, besides managing the Sugar Kings, also served as a scout in the Cincinnati Reds organization. He had mentored and signed numerous Latino players who went on to play for the Sugar Kings, as was the case of Cueche. The veteran pitcher responded with a 7–6 record and a 3.40 ERA in 22 games for the Industriales, leading the staff with 70 strikeouts and 116 ⅓ innings pitched. Notably, Otero guided Valencia to a championship in its inaugural season. As the league champions, the team represented Venezuela in the 1956 Caribbean Series. But Cueche struggled in the Series, sporting an ERA of 7.50 in six innings without a decision, for a disappointing Valencia that finished in last place with a 1–5 record.

When Jerry Lane, Rudy Minarcin and Charlie Rabe joined the Sugar Kings' starting rotation in 1956, Cueche was relegated to a long relief role. As a result, most of the time he was able to kept the game under control and filled in as a spot starter when necessary. And he handled Otero's decision with class and maturity, going 6–2 with a 2.68 ERA in 23 games, including seven starts and two complete games, while striking out 36 and walking 32 in 84 innings. The changes made did not resolve all the problems of the team. Even though the Sugar Kings outscored its opponents 591–589, the team was unable to carry the load for its anemic offensive output and erratic defense, ending next to last in batting average (.250) and last in fielding percentage (.969). Otero, who started the season managing the team, was replaced by Napoleón Reyes during the mid-season, while the Sugar Kings ended in sixth place with a 72–82 record.

Cueche came back to Valencia and regained the confidence of Otero during the 1956–1957 season. At this point, he was officially named Opening Day starter and delivered one of his most productive seasons in the league, compiling a 12–5 record and a 3.33 ERA in 23 games, including 13 starts, seven complete games, 32 walks, 48 strikeouts, and  innings pitched. As a batter, he went 16-for-59 (.308) with a double, one home run, nine RBI, and nine runs scored in 25 games. Moreover, he led the league in winning percentage (.706) and wins (four more than Babe Birrer and Connie Grob), ending third in ERA and fourth both in innings and complete games. Valencia advanced to the postseason, but was beat by the Leones del Caracas in the best-of-seven championship series, four to one games. Cueche then played as a reinforcement for the Leones team in the 1957 Caribbean Series, where he took a 2–1 loss to Panama, after giving up two unearned runs in a complete-game performance in Game 5. He later hurled two scoreless innings of relief against Cuba in Game 10 to collect a perfect 0.00 ERA, the best for the Series.

For the fourth straight season, Cueche returned to the Sugar Kings in 1957. Under Reyes, the team ended with a 72–82 record and repeated its sixth-place performance this year. Alternating between spot starts and relief work, Cueche went 10–11 with a 3.83 ERA in 38 games, including 22 starts, seven complete games and two shutouts, striking out 100 and walking 55 in 169 innings. He then went back to Valencia during the winter.

1957–1958 was the first season that interleague play started in Venezuelan baseball history. Valencia, with Otero at the helm, captured its third Venezuelan League title in four years. The team later defeated the Rapiños de Occidente of the rival Western League, en route to the championship and a trip to the 1958 Caribbean Series. Once again, Cueche was a mainstay for the Industriales, leading the team's starters with an 8–4 record, a 3.84 ERA, and  innings of work in the regular season. He also recorded the third-best ERA in the league after Charlie Beamon (2.49) and Ramón Monzant (2.55), having one fewer win that Beamon and Monzant, while his seven complete games were only surpassed by the 11 of Monzant. Besides, he posted a best team average of .345 as a two-way player, overmatching teammates Lou Limmer (.308), Lenny Green (.306), Jim Frey (.304) and Earl Battey (.299). He then went 4–0 in his four playoff starts, completing all of them, including a 10-inning victory and a 1.70 ERA in 37 innings. Nonetheless, Cueche was vulnerable in the 1958 Series, as he went 0–1 with a 3.95 ERA in two starts and one relief appearance. It was his last performance in the Caribbean tournament.

In 1958 the Sugar Kings suffered the worst collapse in franchise history. Manager Reyes was replaced by Tony Pacheco early in the year, but the Havana season was up-and-down for the most part, as the team finished last in the eight-team league with a 65–88 record. Despite pitching for the struggling team, Cueche posted a record of 14–13 and a 3.59 ERA in 24 starts, including 10 complete games, five shutouts, and 103 strikeouts in 178 innings. He also led the team in wins, surpassing Mike Cuellar (13), Orlando Peña (11) and Rudy Árias (7), while tying for ninth in the league along Gary Blaylock, Bennie Daniels and Bill Harris. Besides, his five shutouts tied him for the league lead, along with Blaylock, Cuellar, Bob Giallombardo and Tommy Lasorda. In addition, Cueche often was used as a pinch hitter, totaling a .234 average with four doubles, one triple, one home run, and 22 RBI in 74 games (including 37 pitching appearances).

Following that, Cueche had an efficient winter in 1958–1959 with the Industriales, going 7–5 with a 3.18 ERA in 16 appearances, including 12 starts, six complete games and  innings. Valencia won the VPBL pennant but was eliminated in the first round of the interleague playoffs. After the season ended, Cueche attended the Sugar Kings spring training camp.

Guided by Preston Gómez, the 1959 Havana Sugar Kings rose to third place in the regular season and upset the Columbus Jets and the Richmond Virginians for a berth in the Junior World Series. Cueche was the fourth man in a rotation that featured Mike Cuellar, Ted Wieand, Walt Craddock and Vicente Amor. He went 9–8 with a 3.95 ERA and 10 complete games in 22 starts, and hit .229 (16-for-75) with eight RBI in 37 games. After clinching International League title, the Sugar Kings defeated the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association in the Junior Series through the maximum of seven games.

Subsequently, Cueche dropped precipitously in the 1959–1960 VPBL season. And it seemed like the heavy workload of previous years might have caught up with him, as he showed a 2–2 record and a 5.62 ERA in six games after working in just 24 innings.

Meanwhile, the Havana Sugar Kings remained active until July 1960, when MLB Commissioner Ford Frick announced that the franchise would be moving to Jersey City, New Jersey and be renamed the Jersey City Jerseys, in accordance with the United States embargo against Cuba. And the defending champions felt the impact of the conflict, ending in fifth place with a 76–77 record,  games out of contention, with Tony Castaño and Napoleón Reyes sharing the managing duties.

That season, Cueche had not fully recovered. He went 0–3 with a 4.50 in 14 pitching appearances for the team, including two starts and only 42 innings of work. Still, he helped with the bat, going 9-for-31 for a .290 average in 26 games. He then moved to the Diablos Rojos del México late in the midseason, finishing 3–4 with an 8.80 ERA in 13 games. As a hitter, he batted 12-for-32 for a .375 average in 22 games.

In 1960–1961, after five seasons with Valencia, Cueche was granted free agency status and signed a contract to play for the Leones del Caracas. He pitched mainly out of the bullpen, appearing in 19 games (nine starts) and going 6–6 with a 3.21 ERA in  innings. He did not play during the summer, but returned with Caracas in 1961–1962. He finished with a 2–4 record and a 3.14 ERA in 16 games, during what turned out to be his final season in the Venezuelan league.

Cueche was not ready to call it a career quite yet, though, and returned to the Diablos Rojos del México in the summer of 1962 at age 34, but failed in the intent. He pitched in only 14 games (eight starts), sporting a record of 1–5 and a 4.63 ERA in 68 innings.

In a 13-year career, he posted a 177–159 record with a .527 win-loss % and a 3.55 ERA in  innings of work (including postseason games).

Life after baseball
After quitting baseball, Cueche returned to Valencia, Carabobo, where he resided for the rest of his life. He was never tempted to resume a career in any aspect of baseball, but he still liked to play softball in the City league.

Cueche died of unknown causes in July 2006 at the age of 78. Four months later, he was enshrined into the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum as part of its third class.

In addition, a baseball stadium is named after him in his birthplace Barcelona.

title: Justin Chua

text:
Justin Shaun Rodriguez Chua (born July 13, 1989) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the TNT Tropang Giga of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He plays the center and power forward positions. He was the former star player of Chiang Kai Shek College during his high school days. He played for the Ateneo de Manila University before being selected tenth overall in the 2013 PBA draft by San Mig Super Coffee Mixers.

Early life and high school career
Chua was born in Manila but grew up in Bacolod City. He first played basketball in Trinity Christian School in Bacolod. He then moved back to Manila when he played for the Chiang Kai Shek Dragons in the Tiong Lian Basketball Association (now defunct). At the time, he played more inside and took less jump shots. He had 15 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 rebounds in one game. His team won a championship over the Xavier School Stallions.

College career
Chua's college career started off slow, as he averaged only 0.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in his rookie season, and  2.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.2 assists in his second season. He was able to experience Ateneo's back-to-back championships during that time as a backup to Rabeh Al-Hussaini.

In 2010, Chua got his first college start against a smaller UST Growling Tigers team. He scored the first six points of the game for the Eagles, then had eight points and two blocks in the last six minutes of the game, finishing with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks in the win. He became known as a reliable big man lefty who could shoot jumpers. Ateneo won its third straight championship that year over the FEU Tamaraws.

In Season 75, Ateneo began its "Drive For 5" campaign. In Ateneo's win against FEU, FEU forward Arvie Bringas was caught spitting towards Chua. Bringas was thrown out of the game and FEU suspended him for their next two games. Chua stepped up his play when Ateneo lost its center JP Erram to a knee injury. Ateneo won in the Finals again, in two games. They became the first UAAP team to ever complete a five-peat.

Professional career

PBA D-League
Chua played for Blackwater Sports in the PBA D-League. He had 17 points in each of the two games of the Finals to help the Elite sweep the four-time defending champions NLEX Road Warriors in the 2013 Foundation Cup.

GlobalPort Batang Pier
Chua was selected tenth overall in the 2013 PBA draft by San Mig Super Coffee Mixers. He was among six Ateneo players taken in that draft, along with Greg Slaughter, Ryan Buenafe, Nico Salva, Erram, and Chris Sumalinog. Just two days after the draft, he was traded to the GlobalPort Batang Pier along with Leo Najorda to acquire the rights of Globalport's No. 7 pick overall, Isaac Holstein. In GlobalPort's match vs San Mig, he had a costly turnover that lost them the game.

San Miguel Beermen
After they ended their disappointing campaign in the Commissioner's Cup, GlobalPort traded him to the San Miguel Beermen for Yousef Taha. He joined a frontcourt that included June Mar Fajardo and Doug Kramer. He had just 2 points as he also had three fouls in his debut for the Beermen. He was able to win the 2014-15 Philippine Cup in his time there.

Barako Bull Energy
In 2015, Chua moved to the Barako Bull Energy in a trade that also involved big men Dorian Peña and Jay-R Reyes and SMB's 2017 1st round pick. In the 2015 Governors' Cup, he had 12 points in a win over the Bolts.

Meralco Bolts
After his rookie scale contract expired, he agreed to a new contract with the Meralco Bolts. There, he was reunited with his former college coach Norman Black. He had an ACL injury, which impacted his opportunities to play. In the 2017 Commissioner's Cup, he scored all six of his points in the fourth quarter to turn a close game against NLEX into a blowout win. He then had a career-high 14 points while defending import Cory Jefferson in a win over the Alaska Aces.

First stint with TNT KaTropa
On September 11, 2017, Chua was traded to the TNT KaTropa in exchange of a 2019 second round pick. He only played four games for them.

Phoenix Fuel Masters

2017–2018
Chua was traded to the TNT KaTropa during the 2017 PBA Draft along with Sidney Onwubere for Jonjon Gabriel and Phoenix's 2019 second round pick. In 2018, he participated in the Obstacle Challenge during All-Star Week.

2019–2021
In the 2019 Philippine Cup, he had a new career-high of 24 points while also grabbing six rebounds against the Bolts. Phoenix could have lost the game in overtime as he missed a game-winning jumper, but his teammate Calvin Abueva was there to rebound the miss and score. The following game, he was punched in the fist by TNT player Michael Miranda. Miranda was then fined P30,000 and suspended for one game. Once again, he also participated in the Obstacle Challenge of that year's All-Star Weekend. That conference, Phoenix made its first-ever semifinals. In the semifinals, they lost to the Beermen in five games out of a best-of-seven series, with him having 18 points and 11 rebounds in the Game 5 loss. In the Commissioner's Cup, he scored a game-winning layup against the Aces.

During the pandemic, Chua prepared for the 2020 season by working on his shooting and by doing plyometrics. Before the season started, interim coach Topex Robinson was made permanent head coach. In the 2020 Philippine Cup, he had a breakout campaign. He started his season with 17 points in a win against Meralco. In a close win over NLEX, he hit two clutch free throws that sealed the win. He had a career-high 17 rebounds against the Beermen. Then, he had 11 rebounds and 5 blocks against the Blackwater Elite. He finished the elimination round with a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds against the Rain or Shine Elastopainters. With Coach Robinson's belief, his scoring, three-point shooting, rebounding, and shot-blocking all saw improvement, making him a candidate for the Most Improved Player. They edged the Magnolia Hotshots in the first round, but its finals aspirations fell short as the Fuel Masters lost to the TNT Katropa in the knockout game of the semifinals. Prince Caperal won Most Improved Player over him. But he won the Top Bubble D-Fender award, as he led the league with 1.6 blocks.

In the 2021 Philippine Cup, he had a near double-double of 17 points and nine rebounds. In the Governors' Cup on Christmas Day, he had 19 points in a win against NLEX.

NLEX Road Warriors
During the 2021 Governors' Cup, the NLEX Road Warriors traded Kris Porter and two draft picks for Chua. When they traded for him, Coach Yeng Guiao compared him to a younger J.R. Quiñahan. He had 15 points on three triples in his winning debut over Ginebra.

Second stint with TNT Tropang Giga
On January 18, 2023, Chua was traded back to the TNT Tropang Giga in a three-team trade involving TNT, NLEX, and Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters.

title: Patrick Rogan (Wisconsin politician)

text:
Patrick Rogan (September 26, 1808February 16, 1898) was an Irish American immigrant, businessman, Democratic politician, and pioneer of settler of Watertown, Wisconsin.  He represented Watertown for four non-consecutive terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly (1851, 1853, 1855, 1866).

Biography

Patrick Rogan was born in Rossglass, County Down, Ireland, in 1808.  He had little formal education and emigrated with his parents to Montreal, Lower Canada, in 1823.  While there he worked as an office boy and notary in a law office.  They remained for two years in Montreal, then moved to Jefferson County, New York.  In 1837, he came west to the Wisconsin Territory, settling at what is now Watertown, Wisconsin, on May 15 of that year.

He claimed a plot of land west of the river and cultivated a potato farm.  In the 1840s he constructed a saw mill, and operated it until 1858, investing in new buildings, roads, and railroads in the growing city.  He constructed the first brick building on the west side of the river, later owned by Watertown mayor Henry Mulberger.

Rogan was one of several settlers from Watertown, Jefferson County, New York.  At the time when the Wisconsin Territory legislature voted to draw new counties, they successfully petitioned to name their county "Jefferson" and their settlement "Watertown".  Rogan was appointed postmaster by President John Tyler in 1841, and served until 1849.  He served as a town supervisor in Watertown before it was incorporated as a city, and subsequently served as an alderman and city assessor.  He was also a member of the Jefferson County board of supervisors.

In 1846, he was elected as a delegate from Jefferson County to Wisconsin's first constitutional convention.  The constitution from this convention was ultimately rejected by voters.  A second constitution was approved in 1848.  Running on the Democratic Party ticket, Rogan was elected to four non-consecutive terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly from Jefferson County's 1st Assembly district, serving in the 1851, 1853, 1855, and 1866 sessions.

He died at his home in Watertown, Wisconsin, in 1898.

Family and legacy

Rogan's brother, James, was the first member of the family to settle at Watertown.  Patrick arrived two months later.  James Rogan also served as a lighthouse keeper at Milwaukee.

Patrick Rogan married Rose Crangle at Chicago, on January 17, 1846.  Crangle was also a native of County Down, Ireland.  They had six children together.

Rogan sold his farmstead in Watertown to Henry Bertram, who later sold it to the Congregation of Holy Cross at Notre Dame, which established Sacred Heart College on that land.  The college still exists today as Maranatha Baptist University.

title: Searles Hill Cemetery

text:
The Searles Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery near the junction of Searles Hill Road and Old Queen Lake Road in Phillipston, Massachusetts.  Established in 1777 on land donated by an early settler for the purpose in 1759, it is the town's oldest cemetery.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 2011.

Description and history
The Searles Hill Cemetery is located in rural southern Phillipston, on   on the east side of Searles Hill Road north of its junction with Old Queen Lake Road; the latter is historically part of a major east-west route through the area.  The cemeter is roughly rectangular in shape, with  of road frontage lined by a stone wall of cut granite about  high. The wall is set off from the road by a row of mature maple trees, and has a single entry gate flanked by granite posts.  Fieldstone walls line the other three sides of the property.  There is no formal circulation pattern within the cemetery grounds, with most markers arrayed generally in lines, grouped by family.  There is one family plot, that of the Stratton family, that is set off by a steel rail fence with granite posts.  Most of the cemetery's 98 markers are made of slate or marble; the oldest dated marker is from 1777.

Phillipston was originally part of Templeton, which was settled about 1750 and incorporated in 1762.  Phillipston was separated from Templeton in 1786 as the town of Gerry, and was renamed Phillipston in 1814.  The land for this cemetery was donated to the community in 1759 by Charles Baker, one of the first settlers in the area.  It is the burial site of other early settlers, including members of the White family, and of at least four documented American Revolutionary War veterans.

title: T8M-900M

text:
T8M-900M is a tram witch is not serving the tram system of Sofia, Bulgaria. The trams were made between 1999 and 2001 by Tramkar as a renovation of the older T8M-900 trams. They have 3 sections (the second is low-floor) and they can carry up to 300 passengers. Their maximum speed is 60 km/h. They are orange with a white line on the bottom. The power of their two motors is 200 kW. They move on  gauge track (narrow gauge) and can accelerate extremely fast for trams, faster than the newest, modern trams. One very good thing for these trams is that they are very light. A tram is about 30 tons. That is with 10 tons lighter than the new, modern ones. They are symbols of Sofia and her appearance.

title: Stolen Dance

text:
"Stolen Dance" is a song by German duo Milky Chance, released in 2012 in Germany. The single has reached number one in Austria, France, Belgium (Wallonia), Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary, additionally it was the most popular track in Poland in 2014. A 4-track Stolen Dance EP (including the single "Down by the River") was released by Lichtdicht Records and Republic Records on 9 May 2014. The song also placed at number 4 in Triple J's Hottest 100, 2014.

History

Single and music video
After playing two live shows, over two weeks in 2013, the band recorded their debut album in a home-made studio in Rehbein's childhood home. Before finishing and releasing the record, the group released several singles on SoundCloud and on YouTube. In an interview with Edmonton's Sonic 102.9, the band said that it took them three years to write the song "Stolen Dance". An early version of the song, with different production, was uploaded to YouTube on 7 September 2012. The final version of the song was first uploaded to YouTube 4 April 2013 and quickly became a viral hit, racking up millions of views. The magazine SPIN wrote about the video, "the clip for "Stolen Dance" nails the visual for its artist in a way that feels definitive and not overly self-conscious. It's still without being static, evocative while not provocative, silly but never stupid." The video made the band the "most blogged about act" for that month on HypeM. As of May 2022, the video has had over 700 million views on YouTube.

The song was first released on their own label on 5 April 2013 as a single and reached number one in Austria, France, Belgium (Wallonia), Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary.

2014 EPs
With the success in Europe in 2013 and additional touring, the single was made available in a radio edit version and on two different versions of EP under various labels in 2014 in Luxembourg (where it also went to number one), Australia, U.S., Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland.

A 4-track Stolen Dance EP (including the single "Down by the River") was released by Lichtdicht Records and Republic Records on 9 May 2014.

The song charted in countries where it had not yet been released, such as the UK, which did not have a scheduled release date, although it was included on BBC1's "B List" the week of 23 June 2014. In the U.S., iTunes gave the song a release date of 17 June 2014, offering the "Stolen Dance" single (with the original mix) for free.

Critical reception
Spin described the leading single "Stolen Dance" as a "serenely rollicking crossover jam", clarifying that the song "is no red herring — the great majority of Sadnecessary follows in its pattern of low-octane beats and gently lapping guitar strumming, making for a lovely and understated album."

title: Brian Gormley

text:
Brian Gormley (born New York City) is an internationally exhibited American painter living and working in both Ireland and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His hybrid works are greatly influenced by the abstract expressionist and graffiti art movements.

Gormley came of age artistically during the New York City art boom years of the nineteen-eighties when both neo-expressionism and street art raged as noted in an essay in the catalog for Gormley's  exhibition with Scott Borofsky alongside works by Keith Haring and Jean Michel Basquiat at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center......"Though Brian Gormley made few forays into street art per se, his paintings nonetheless reflect its energy and influence. In the mid-1980s, Gormley began showing expressionistic oils with figural motifs, distinguished by wild color and bravura brushwork."

Of Irish ancestry Gormley today often exhibits in ancestral homeland where he maintains a residence. Such showings have included at The Cooper House Gallery (November 21 – December 3, 2013) and works from his collaborative book with poet Michael Carter, "On Bolus Head", at the Trinity College Library (March 25 until April 30, 2013) both in Dublin.

title: Chopped Canada

text:
Chopped Canada is a Canadian reality cooking television series based on the US series Chopped. The program pits four chefs against each other as they compete to win $10,000 and the title of Chopped Canada Champion. It first aired on January 2, 2014 and last aired on February 11, 2017. In May 2017, the show's producers announced that Food Network Canada had cancelled the show.

Format

In each episode, four chefs go head to head and compete to create a delicious three course meal.  The competition is divided into three rounds: "Appetizer", "Entrée", and "Dessert". In each round, the chefs are presented with a mystery basket containing four ingredients, and the challenge is to incorporate those mystery ingredients into an appetizing dish.  The ingredients are generally diverse items which are not commonly prepared together.

The chef competitors are given access to a pantry and refrigerator stocked with a wide variety of other ingredients, which they are free to use as they wish. Each round is timed (twenty or thirty minutes for the Appetizer round, thirty minutes each for the Entrée and Dessert rounds), and the chefs must cook their dishes and  complete four platings (three for the judges and one "beauty plate") before time runs out.

After each cooking round, there are three celebrity judges on hand to critique the dishes based on presentation, taste, and creativity.  The chef with the worst dish is "chopped" from the competition. Dean or Brad reveals the judges' decision by lifting a cloche on their table to show the losing chef's dish, and one of the judges comments on the reason for their choice to the eliminated chef. By the dessert round, only two chefs remain, and when deciding the winner, the judges consider not only on the dishes created by the two chefs during that round, but also their overall performance throughout the competition.  The winner is awarded a prize of $10,000, and the title of Chopped Canada Champion.

Teen Tournament

The third season opened with a special Teen Tournament (the first tournament on the Chopped Canada series), which saw 16 chefs (aged 13 to 17) compete over the course of four semi-final episodes. The winner of each semi-final episode went on to compete in the Teen Tournament final, which awarded a $20,000 grand prize to the Chopped Canada Teen Champion.

Host

The first two seasons of the show were hosted by Canadian actor Dean McDermott.  However, in early March 2015, it was announced that he would not be returning as host for the upcoming third season.

In June 2015, Shaw Media announced that former Canadian Football player and The Bachelor Canada Brad Smith would take over as host, despite not having any culinary experience.

Judges

The episodes feature a rotating panel of three celebrity judges.  Past and current notable judges include celebrity chefs Massimo Capra, Lynn Crawford, Eden Grinshpan, John Higgins, Chuck Hughes, Susur Lee, Mark McEwan, Roger Mooking, Antonio Park, Michael Smith, Vikram Vij and Anne Yarymowich.

Episode guide

In March 2016, it was announced by Shaw Media that the show had been renewed for a fourth season, with Brad Smith returning as the host. The season featured special themed episodes, including Grandmothers, Firefighters, Celebrities and the first ever Judges' episode where four of the rotating judges stepped into the kitchen to compete for money for charity. The season also included additional Teen episodes with competitors aged 14 to 18, as well as the addition of Junior episodes, showcasing talented young chefs aged 9 to 13.

title: Frank Panabaker

text:
Frank Panabaker (19041992) was a Canadian landscape painter. His work focused on Southern Ontario and the area surrounding Mount Assiniboine.

Career
Frank Shirley Panabaker was born in Hespeler, Ontario, the son of the local woollen mill manager and one-time mayor of the town, now part of Cambridge. He studied art in many locations, beginning in Hespeler under Farquhar McGillivray Knowles (1859–1932) and his wife, Elizabeth McGillivray Knowles. who gave him lessons, and his father was so encouraged that he was able to attend the Ontario College of Art for two years, studying with Arthur Lismer and J.E.H. MacDonald. He continued his artistic studies at the Grand Central School of Art in New York City (c. 1926) and became a member of the Salmagundi Club and Allied Artists of America, also in New York. A self-supporting professional artist for his entire adult life, he began his painting career during the Great Depression in Hamilton, Ontario where he lived with his wife Katherine (née Marks).

He would drive across Southern Ontario, to the shores of Georgian Bay, through Haliburton, Muskoka and Algonquin Park painting in all seasons, in all kinds of weather. He ventured to paint the Rockies several years, and even travelled abroad to Nassau and the British Isles. He also marked the times by painting scenes of the Hamilton Farmer's Market, the Royal yacht Brittania in Hamilton Harbour and documenting the Steel City in all its elements and growth. He used various empty buildings in Hamilton for his one-man shows, once renting the old Birks building for an exhibition in 1933 where he sold eight paintings during the first four days. However, it was a visit to the gallery by Sara D. Roosevelt, mother of Franklin D. Roosevelt, that really boosted his fortunes as The Mail and Empire reported that Mrs. Roosevelt had purchased a small seascape. The artist sold 18 more pictures in the following two days.

Early in his lengthy career, he was hired by Cootes-Hallmark to produce a painting of a winter scene each year for its "Painters of Canada Series", to be reproduced for Christmas cards and sold nationally. In 1957, he published a book titled Reflected Lights, about his youth, travels and art.

He was a long-standing member of the Allied Artists of America (one of a handful of Canadians ever to be elected), as well as an associate member of the Royal Canadian Academy. He was a member of the board of trustees for the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa for six years (1959-1966). He painted up until the last weeks of his life, dying at 87 in 1992.

title: Emerald Dragon

text:
is a role-playing video game developed by Glodia that was released for multiple platforms in Japan. It was released for NEC Corporation's PC-8801 and PC-9801 home computers on December 22, 1989, followed by conversions for the X68000 (released on December 6, 1990), MSX2 (released on December 26 of the same year) and FM Towns (released on May 28, 1992). Developer Alfa System later produced console versions of the game for the PC Engine in Super CD-ROM² format (released on January 28, 1994) and the Super Famicom (released on July 28, 1995). The game features characters and locations based on Zoroastrian mythology.

Gameplay

The game utilises a top-down overhead perspective, where players move the controllable character in two dimensions. As players move around in a world map, they may encounter battles, which are turn-based with a time point system: both movements and attacks sap a bar on the top of the screen, and the character's turn ends when the bar is depleted. Experience points, which are used to level up playable characters, are collected for defeating enemies.

Stronger attacks for the main protagonist, Atorushan, are made available through collecting key items called the Emerald Graces. These transform him into a dragon to unleash a powerful attack, at the cost of reducing his HP when used.

Plot
A long time ago, dragons and humans lived in peace in the land of Ishbahn. Lord Tiridates, believing the existence of dragons among humans defiles Ishbahn, places a curse that kills dragons in the area. Some of the dragons (now collectively called the Dragon Tribe) manage to escape and find refuge in Draguria, where a dimensional rift prevents humans from crossing it.

At the start of the game, a ship wrecks on the coast of Draguria. The protagonist, a Dragon Tribe youth named Atorushan seeks the friendship of the sole survivor, a human girl named Tamryn by the White Dragon, leader of the tribe. The girl is nurtured by the dragons of the land, but 12 years later she leaves as she wants to find happiness with those of her own kind. Atorushan breaks off his left horn and gives it to her as a means of summoning him should she need assistance.

Three years after this incident, Atorushan is called by the White Dragon as the aforementioned horn was blown. Granting him a silver scale to keep him from perishing under the curse of Ishbahn, the White Dragon sends him there to tend to Tamryn.

Upon arriving, Atorushan learns that the entirety of Ishbahn is under attack by evil armies controlled by Tiridates. To stop him and remove the land's curse, he needs to find the five Emerald Graces, dragon-based treasures scattered around the land, and resurrect the Emerald Dragon, the greatest of all dragons destined to bring about a miracle.

Reception
Emerald Dragon maintains a score of 3.62/5 from 56 votes on the gamefaqs website as of April 2020. Youtubers who have reviewed the game have given it a positive rating , the youtuber SNES drunk has said of the game "I wouldn't think of Emerald Dragon as among the ranks of the best role playing games the SNES has to offer but it's certainly a worthwhile play through if you want to scratch that JRPG itch 5:00-5:08. The youtuber Avalanche Reviews  commented on the English fan translation of the super nintendo version "Aside from the novelty of being a recently translated Japanese RPG Emerald Dragon is also an interesting stab at changing the traditional  RPG format in some very small but very effective ways. If you've grown tired of the slim pickings we westerners have been awarded in the RPG department Emerald Dragon may be exactly what you're looking for, It's not an amazing example of what the genre can accomplish but it is a fun, different well written change of pace and ultimately well worth your time 6:30-6:56".

Legacy
Akihiro Kimura successfully crowdfunded a sequel audio series titled Elemental Dragoon in 2015.  It is based on ideas that were proposed for a sequel to Emerald Dragon back in the 1990s but never got off the ground due to apparent copyright issues (though Kimura and others made several independent dōjinshi and novels continuing the story over the years).  The series was designed to get around copyright issues (by focusing on new characters and slightly changing names such as the title, though the original characters appear at the end) and to hopefully allow Kimura to generate interest for a true sequel to Emerald Dragon and regain the copyright.
