title: Victoria Crowe

text:
Victoria Elizabeth Crowe OBE, DHC, FRSE, MA (RCA) RSA, RSW (born 1945) is a Scottish artist known for her portrait and landscape paintings. She has works in several collections including the National Galleries of Scotland, the National Portrait Gallery, London, and the Royal Scottish Academy.

Life
Victoria Crowe was born in Kingston-on-Thames on 8 May 1945 and educated at Ursuline Convent Grammar School, London. She studied at Kingston College of Art from 1961 to 1965, before undertaking further study at the Royal College of Art in London from 1965 to 1968. On the strength of her postgraduate exhibition, she was invited to teach at Edinburgh College of Art by Robin Philipson, head of drawing and painting. She worked at ECA for the next thirty years as a part-time lecturer in drawing and painting, while also developing her own artistic practice.

She and her husband Michael Walton settled at Kittleyknowe near Carlops in the Pentland Hills, Scotland, where they befriended the shepherdess Jenny Armstrong. In 1973 she had a son and in 1976 a daughter. Her son died in 1995. They set up a trust in his name to raise awareness and funds to tackle oral cancers in young people.

Over the last 35 years Victoria Crowe, one of Scotland's leading painters, has established herself as a painter whose work is instantly recognisable. While the full range of her painting covers landscape, still lifes, portraits, self-portraits and interiors, much of her work defies such precise categorisation.

She has been described as "one of the most vital and original figurative painters currently at work in Scotland".

Work
She began painting formal portraits in the early 1980s.  She has produced many individual portraits, including RD Laing, Kathleen Raine, Tam Dalyell, and Peter Higgs.

Her work includes the series A Shepherd's Life, painted between 1970 and 1985 and first shown at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh in 2000, which portrays the life of Jenny Armstrong, an elderly shepherd from the Scottish Borders who was Crowe's neighbour at Kittleyknowe. One of the works in the series, Two Views, was converted into a tapestry by Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh, commissioned by Richard Scott, 10th Duke of Buccleuch.

Her first solo exhibition was held in 1983 at the Thackeray Gallery, London, where she would continue to exhibit regularly until 2007.

Between 1970 and 1985, Crowe undertook study trips to Russia, Denmark and Finland. She visited Italy in the early 1990s, which added the influence of Italian Renaissance art to her works, leading to a new phase of increased confidence and achievement. However, in 1994 her art was forced to respond to her son's diagnosis with cancer and then to his death in 1995, which resulted in a series of works expressing her grief, through repeated motifs such as the moon and flowers. Her works in the 21st century included wintry landscapes with skeletal hazel trees which Duncan Macmillan called "numinous pictures; they are spiritual landscapes".

In 2004 Crowe was appointed senior visiting scholar at St Catherine's College, University of Cambridge. The work she produced during this period was shown at the exhibition Plant Memory at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh.

In 2013, the exhibition Fleece to Fibre, based on the making of the Large Tree Group tapestry, is shown during the Edinburgh International Festival at the Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh. It toured thereafter to the Australian Tapestry Workshop, Melbourne; Inverness; and London. Commissioned portrait of Peter Higgs for the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Awarded a prestigious tapestry commission by the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers for the livery company's headquarters in the City of London.

In 2015 she became artist-in-residence at The Royal Drawing School Artist Studios, Dumfries House and the following year was commissioned to create a portrait of Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell for the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

In 2017 Crowe designed The Leathersellers' Tapestry for the Dining Hall of the Leathersellers' Building in London. The forty metre-long tapestry was woven at Dovecot Tapestry Studios in Edinburgh. In 2018,  she was awarded the Sir William Gillies Research Award by the Royal Scottish Academy supporting the making of a video projection responding to Schubert's Winterreise song cycle. Winterreise: A Parallel Journey, a collaboration with opera singer Matthew Rose and pianist Gary Matthewman, is performed at the Britten Studio, Snape Maltings, and at the Wigmore Hall, London.

In 2018, Victoria Crowe: Beyond Likeness was exhibited at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and showcased over fifty portraits from the 1960s to the present. A commissioned portrait of HRH Prince Charles, the Duke of Rothesay was also unveiled there. Victoria Crowe: 50 Years of Painting was shown at the City Art Centre, Edinburgh. This major retrospective highlighted the artist's career from student work tup until 2019.

Victoria Crowe is represented by The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh and Flowers Gallery, London.

title: Kong Sang-jeong

text:
Kong Sang-jeong (; ; born 22 June 1996 in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province) is a South Korean short track speed skater who won a gold Olympic medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in the 3000 metre relay.

Early life
Kong is a third-generation descendant of Chinese immigrants to Korea. Her grandfather fled from mainland China in 1949, after the Chinese communist victory in the Chinese Civil War, and settled in Chuncheon. Her parents also grew up in Chuncheon and currently runs a clinic in the city.

Kong was born with Republic of China nationality. She attended and graduated from Kyongin Elementary School, Wolchon Middle School and Yubong Girls’ High School in Seoul. During her time in school, Kong suffered insults from her classmates due to her Chinese ethnicity.

In 2015, she began her studies for bachelor's degree at the Faculty of International Sports in Korea University. She graduated in 2019.

Sports career
When she was in the 5th grade of elementary school, she was transferred to Seoul for training in skating. While attending Wolchon Middle School, she won the overall championship in the junior national skating team selection. As a result, she was chosen to represent South Korea at the junior level already in 2010, but could not compete in the 2011 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships as she did not have South Korean citizenship at the time. She was granted citizenship by the South Korean Ministry of Justice in December 2011 thanks to a revised nationality law that allowed dual citizenship for individuals of outstanding talent.

She participated in the 2013 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Warsaw, where she won gold medal in the 3000m relay.

During the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, she was part of the Short Track Speed Skating team in the '3000m relay' that won a gold medal. After the Olympics, she won the 500m short track at the 95th National Winter Sports Festival in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do. At the 2015 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Osaka, she won gold medals in all-around, 1500m and 3000m relays, and silver medal in 1000m and 1500m super final relays. For her performances, she was named the Lady 2015 ISU World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Champion.

On 2016, during selections for junior national skating team, Kong passed the first and second rounds, finishing at fourth position and was selected to the preliminary national team for the 2015-2016 season. However, due to her suffering from a sudden back injury in June, she was not selected for the national team.

On 3 May 2021, in an Instagram post, Kong announced her retirement from international competition.

title: The Falcon Out West

text:
The Falcon Out West (aka The Falcon in Texas) is a 1944 American mystery film directed by William Clemens and starring Tom Conway, Joan Barclay and Barbara Hale. The film was part of RKO's The Falcon series of detective films, this time, a murder set in Texas.

Plot
When Mrs. Irwin (Joan Barclay), asks Tom Lawrence (Tom Conway), aka the Falcon, to prevent the marriage of her ex-husband, Tex Irwin (Lyle Talbot) to his fiancée, gold digger Vanessa Drake (Carole Gallagher), The Falcon becomes involved in murder. Rich cattle baron Irwin is murdered in a New York City nightclub, dying from the venom of a rattlesnake.  When suspicion falls on various members of his family and business associates, The Falcon and the police, led by Police Inspector Timothy Donovan (Cliff Clark) and his assistant, Homicide Detective Bates (Edward Gargan) travel west following Vanessa, to the Irwin ranch in Texas to try and solve the mystery.

At the ranch, when Lawrence is out riding, someone takes a pot shot at him and when Tex's lawyer Steven Hayden (Donald Douglas) is killed in the same way that Tex died, a snake bite, there are many suspicious individuals to consider. Dusty, Tex's foreman was in the nightclub when Tex had died. Tex's partner, Dave Colby (Minor Watson) and his daughter Marion (Barbara Hale) and Vanessa, and Mrs. Irwin, who turns up at the ranch, are all suspect. An Indian scalp is hung on Lawrence's door as a Comanche death warning for him not to go on with the investigation.

An apparent attack on Vanessa complicates matters. With Mrs. Irwin and the Colbys trying to stop her marriage, the police focus on Colby as the main suspect, but the Falcon is not sure. When Lawrence finds an Indian medicine bag containing the deed to Tex's ranch and a poison ring in the shape of a snake, he knows how the murders were committed.

Confronting Vanessa, she tries to use a poison ring to stab Lawrence but Dusty intervenes, pulling a gun on the Falcon. Dusty had been Vanessa's love interest and now reveals himself as her accomplice in murder. Colby's ranch hands and the police surround the house forcing the two killers to surrender.

At the train station, Tom and Marion watch Donovan and Bates board their train when a beautiful woman steps from the train and asks for help.

Production
The working title of this film was "The Falcon in Texas" with principal photography taking place from October 4 to early November 1943.The Hollywood Reporter initially listed Richard Martin, Russell Wade, Bruce Edwards, Rita Corday, Margaret Landry, Dorothy Maloney and Barbara Lynn in the cast.

Reception
In his review of The Falcon Out West, Bosley Crowther wrote, in The New York Times, "Anything for variety—that seems to be the policy of RKO with reference to its gentleman sleuth, the Falcon, hero of a long series of films. Now, for his latest adventure, flatly titled 'The Falcon Out West' —just so none of the customers is likely to be confused—the producers have meshed a whodunnit with Western atmosphere. The result is schematically novel; in other respects, it is old, familiar stuff. ... in the wide open spaces, where crooners and stock Indians roam, the Falcon goes through his old routine of spotting the guilty one. Tom Conway is still the dapper Falcon, Carole Gallagher and Barbara Hale are girls in the case, and Cliff Clark and Ed Gargan are, as usual, the dumb, uncooperative cops."

Film historians Richard Jewell and Vernon Harbin described The Falcon Out West, as "... sleuthing with standard horse-opera clichés including ambushes, runaway stagecoaches and chase scenes." The problem with the film was that Tom Conway was no longer nonchalant, but simply, "bored". In a recent review of the Falcon series for the Time Out Film Guide, Tom Milne wrote, "Conway, bringing a lighter touch to the series (which managed its comic relief better than most), starred in nine films after The Falcon's Brother, most of them deft and surprisingly enjoyable."

title: Zaccaria (company)

text:
Zaccaria,  (later briefly reorganized under Mr. Game before ending production) was an Italian company of pinball and arcade machines that existed in Bologna from 1974 until  1990. The factory was sold to tecnoplay.

History
The company was founded as a manufactory for pinball arcade games in Bologna by the three brothers Marino, Franco and Natale Zaccaria. The logo consists of their initials.  Zaccaria was led by Marino Zaccaria, a former manager of a bar near Bologna.

At their best time, Zaccaria was the third largest company of pinball machines in the world after Bally and Williams. The company also entered into the video arcade game sector in the late 1970s. Therefore, they licensed games and developed some games with their own designs.

There are at least 47 different Zaccaria pinball machines known to exist although some are just variations of the same game.

Company Mr. Game

Zaccaria was briefly reorganized under the label Mr. Game before ending production. The company Mr. Game produced pinball machines from 1988 until 1990. Under the Mr. Game label, the company introduced a radical redesign of the traditional pinball cabinet. The commonly known rectangular cabinet containing the 'playfield' was updated into a more modern look with a different shaped box, and trigger buttons for flipper control. The legs were also more angular in support compared to the mostly vertical legs used by other manufacturers. Additionally, the 'backbox' eliminated the traditional numeric or alpha-numeric score and status displays in favor of a small color TV screen, sometimes containing video game elements.

Successor tecnoplay

After bankruptcy, the factory in Bologna of Zaccaria was sold to tecnoplay in San Marino, that produced pinball machines from 1987 - 1989 and is still in business as an importer, reseller and maintainer of pinball machines, spare parts, arcade and vending machines and other amusement games. Tecnoplay is managed by Mauro Zaccaria, the son of Marino Zaccaria, one of the founders of the company Zaccaria.

title: Rollin Furbeck House

text:
Rollin Furbeck House is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house in Oak Park, Illinois that was built in 1897. It is part of the Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture Historic District.

Architecture

The house is considered a major transitional work for Wright as his previous designs  were either square or rectangular, unlike this one, which holds (see the porches extruding toward the east and west) one of the first cruciform-pinwheel layout made by Wright.

Exterior

Characteristics yet unseen in previous Frank Lloyd Wright designs, this house points to it being one of the first he constructed experimenting with vertical elements (such as the considerably large three-story center tower and vertical octagon-shaped columns).
Other recurrent Wright features consist of the continuation of the surface used on a story to the next story; the path to a front entrance purposefully obscured by the architect; the use of geometric shapes simple in design; and the implementation of  visually-protective colonnettes in front of textured diamond-paned windows, typical Wright characteristics which can be found in many other of his works.

Interior

Not unlike many other of his works, Wright used an abundant source of natural light to allow a free flow of space; a characteristic which purpose is to give the impression of space even when there is none; woodwork was also used to create an ambient effect of warmth and coziness. Some of the first, nowadays very used in suburban residential homes features such as picture windows, suggestively the first used in a private single-family house in that period of history are also used. Note that many of Wright's more traditional characteristics usually found in his more early works can also be found in this residence, i.e. the large massive concrete fireplace woven into a wall, or diamond-paned windows.

title: Enclosure (John Frusciante album)

text:
Enclosure is the tenth studio album by American musician John Frusciante, released on April 8, 2014 (7 April in UK) on Record Collection.

On February 18, 2014, Frusciante made the first song recorded for the album, "Scratch", a song written during The Empyrean sessions, available through his website as a free download.

On March 19, 2018, Frusciante uploaded a version of "Scratch", "(vocal Fx Mix)", to SoundCloud.

Background
Frusciante said of the album, "Enclosure, upon its completion, was the record which represented the achievement of all the musical goals I had been aiming at for the previous 5 years. It was recorded simultaneously with Black Knights' Medieval Chamber, and as different as the two albums appear to be, they represent one investigative creative thought process. What I learned from one fed directly into the other. Enclosure is presently my last word on the musical statement which began with PBX."

Release in space
On March 29, 2014, a copy of Enclosure was loaded onto an experimental Cube Satellite dubbed by Record Collection as Sat-JF14 and launched to an altitude of 10,000 ft aboard an Interorbital Systems NEPTUNE Modular Rocket.

Beginning March 31, fans from around the world could download the free, custom-built Sat-JF14 mobile application which was meant to enable users to track the satellite movement in real time (the satellite, however, was only a simulation, as the rocket only reached an altitude of 10,000 ft or 3,048 meters before safely falling to the ground for recovery). When "Sat-JF14" "hovered" over a users’ geographic region, the Enclosure app would get unlocked, allowing users to listen to the album for free on any iOS or Android mobile device.

Reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 55, based on nine reviews, which indicates "mixed or average reviews".

title: Childhood (band)

text:
Childhood were an English rock band, formed in 2010 in Nottingham by South Londoners Ben Romans-Hopcraft and Leo Dobsen while studying at the University of Nottingham.

The duo first gained attention after uploading a couple of demos online. After recruiting bassist Daniel Salamons and drummer Daniel Ajegbo, the band gigged around Nottingham before signing to Marathon Artists / House Anxiety and released their debut single Blue Velvet in October 2012. Following the departure of Daniel Ajegbo and re-basing themselves in South London, the band recruited Jonny Williams and released second single Solemn Skies on 10 June 2013. The single was produced by Rory Attwell, formerly of Test Icicles.

The band released their debut album Lacuna on 11 August 2014. Produced by Dan Carey, the album was preceded by the single Falls Away in June.

On 24 April 2015, the band revealed that Thomas Fiquet was now the band's bass player - despite updating the band's lineup information on their Facebook page, the band never announced or commented on the departure of Daniel Salamons.

On 21 July 2017, the band released their second album Universal High. The album was preceded by single 'Californian Light' in April 2017 and second single "Cameo" in June 2017. Recorded the previous summer in Atlanta, USA at Maze Studios with Ben H Allen III, the album was less collaborative than their debut, with Romans-Hopcraft admitting that although he "would never call it a solo project" that "for this record, we all tried to collaborate and it never really worked, so it ended up coming from this one funnel – then everyone added their own thing".

The band quietly disbanded in 2018, with Romans-Hopcraft going on to play bass with Insecure Men and Warmduscher. He is also currently working on a new project with Sean Lennon producing.

Original bassist Daniel Salamons continues to work as a session player. The band's second bassist Thomas Fiquet has gone on to join Swim Deep.

title: My New Gun

text:
My New Gun is a 1992 American black comedy film written and directed by Stacy Cochran in her debut. It stars Diane Lane, James Le Gros, Stephen Collins, and Tess Harper, and also features an early minor role for Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Plot
A New Jersey doctor named Gerald buys his trophy wife, Debbie, a revolver against her wishes. Trouble ensues when their eccentric slacker neighbor, Skippy, takes the gun and doesn't want to give it back. After an accident lands Gerald in the hospital, it's up to Debbie to get the gun back and try to figure out why Skippy took it in the first place.

Cast

Production
My New Gun was shot on a budget of $2.1 million, financed from IRS Media and Columbia-TriStar Home Video. It was shot on location in Teaneck, New Jersey, and a townhouse was used for the interior of multiple homes.

Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 43% based on reviews from 7 critics.

Terrence Rafferty of The New Yorker praised Cochran's directorial debut, writing that "The assurance she shows in handling even a brief expository scene is astonishing. [...] This film school graduate has a kind of 'technique' that can't be taught. [...] The sort of liberation that My New Gun proposes, and embodies, is the product of a true filmmaker's vision".

The film was praised by another critic for its "masterfully understated structure" and eccentricities, which some considered to be influenced by Thelma and Louise or an update of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House.

Emanuel Levy has noted the way in which "the gifted director Stacy Cochran examines suburbia in a manner devoid of the usually nasty, mean-spirited approach to the subject", and unlike other downtown New York films, it "displays no irony or condescension; yet its quirkily laconic, minimalist perspective goes against expectations."

title: Schellman loop

text:
Schellman loops (also called Schellman motifs or paperclips) are commonly occurring structural features of proteins and polypeptides. Each has six amino acid residues (labelled residues i to i+5) with two specific inter-mainchain hydrogen bonds (as in lower figure, i) and a characteristic main chain dihedral angle conformation. The CO group of residue i is hydrogen-bonded to the NH of residue i+5 (colored orange in upper figure), and the CO group of residue i+1 is hydrogen-bonded to the NH of residue i+4 (beta turn, colored purple). Residues i+1, i+2, and i+3 have negative φ (phi) angle values and the phi value of residue i+4 is positive.  Schellman loops incorporate a three amino acid residue RL nest (protein structural motif), in which three mainchain NH groups (from Schellman loop residues i+3 to i+5) form a concavity for hydrogen bonding to carbonyl oxygens. About 2.5% of amino acids in proteins belong to Schellman loops. Two websites are available for examining small motifs in proteins, Motivated Proteins:  ; or  PDBeMotif: .

The majority of Schellman loops (82%) occur at the C-terminus of an alpha-helix such that residues i, i+1, i+2 and i+3 are part of the helix. Over a quarter of helices (28%) have a C-terminal Schellman loop.

Occasional Schellman loops occur with seven instead of six residues. In these, the CO group of residue i is hydrogen-bonded to the NH of residue i+6, and the CO group of residue i+1 is hydrogen-bonded to the NH of residue i+5. Rare “left-handed” six-residue Schellman loops occur; these have the same hydrogen bonds, but residues i+1, i+2, and i+3 have positive φ values while the φ value of residue i+4 is negative; the nest is of the LR, rather than the RL, kind.

Amino acid propensities for the residues of the common type of Schellman loop have been described. Residue i+4 is the one most-highly conserved; it has positive φ values; 70% of amino acids are glycine and none are proline.

Consideration of the hydrogen bonding in the nests of Schellman loops bound to mainchain oxygens reveals two main types of arrangement: 1,3-bridged or not. In one (lower figure, ii) the first and third nest NH groups are bridged by an oxygen atom. In the other (lower figure, iv) the first NH group is hydrogen bonded to the CO group of an amino acid four residues behind in the sequence, and none of the nest NH groups are bridged. It seems that Schellman loops are less homogeneous than might have been expected.

The original Schellman criteria  result in the inclusion of features not now regarded as Schellman loops. A newer set of criteria is  given in the first paragraph.

title: Svecchāmṛtyu

text:
Svecchāmṛtyu (), also called Icchāmṛtyu () is a Sanskrit concept in Hinduism meaning "self-willed death". In Hindu mythology, a number of beings gain the boon of svecchāmṛtyu in reward for their actions, allowing them to choose their time and manner of death.

Hinduism
In the Mahabharata, King Shantanu is stated to have granted the boon of svecchāmṛtyu to his son Bhishma for his selflessness, allowing him to choose the time and manner of his own death.

Indra is stated to have granted Hanuman svecchāmṛtyu in acknowledgement of the deity's resilience after surviving the attack of his thunderbolt.

Tantrism
The Svadhishthana Chakra is the abode of the tattva apas; one conquers death with the awakening of this chakra. As one of the twenty-six siddhis that form part of Kundalini yoga, icchāmṛtyu siddhi gives the yogi the power to die at will. According to Aurobindo, the sadhaka of Integral yoga aims at complete liberation from all attacks of illness, and the power to prolong life at will – icchāmṛtyu.

In popular culture

According to popular belief, in the course of his visit to Amarnath cave, Swami Vivekananda is regarded to have had the vision of Shiva in the cave and was blessed with the boon of death-at-will (iccha-mrityu). He had predicted that he would not live forty years, he did not.

Acquaintances of Mahatma Sisir Kumar and Pandit Dinabandhu Vedantaratna also attest to the fact that they have willed their own death.

title: Isoinertial

text:
Isoinertial denotes a type of resistance used in exercise training which maintains a constant inertia throughout the range of motion, facilitating a constant resistance and maximal muscle force in every angle.

The term isoinertial derives from the words iso (same) and inertial (resistance), which in one terminology describes the primary concept of the isoinertial system, or expressing the same inertia in both the concentric and the eccentric phases of muscle contraction.

The Origins
Since the late eighties, during long-duration space travel, was placed as a problem as the ability to maintain power the muscles of astronauts engaged in missions, given that the absence of gravity led to an environment in which they experienced atrophy of the musculoskeletal system, no longer called to support the load of the body weight, as well as a reduction in bone mineral density. Studies and research carried out about a solution that led to the strengthening of muscles of astronauts and subsequently, over the years, has become a method of muscle training very useful for preservation, prevention and rehabilitation. In practice it was created a flywheel training system for resistance training with a belt and a flywheel that, driven by the belt, controlling a process which generated movement regardless of the strength of gravity.

The Isoinertial Method
The  isoinertial's muscle activity follows the muscular action of the sporting gesture or rather what the body or parts of it are in duty to perform in sports, according to which, in strength and speed variable, an inertial load (such as a ball), a limb or the body itself (such as when accelerating or changing direction) the athlete is forced to respond at the level coordinative motor and neuromuscular very quickly to situations and motor gestures sudden and not predetermined.

The Benefits
The great utility of the isoinertial method and at the same time what makes it different from the normal isotonic muscle movement lies in the fact that the action isotonic developed in conventional exercises (strength machines and free weights), the resistance is constant throughout the whole of movement in both the concentric phase in which the eccentric, which is equivalent to the set load. In the isoinertial method the resistance is adapted in every moment and is proportional to the force developed in the sense that the greater the force expressed by the subject in the concentric phase, the greater will be the acceleration with which the flywheel reacts.

title: Stuart Benson

text:
Stuart Benson (born 12 February 1981) is a former bobsledder who competed for Team GB, and an avionics technician in the Royal Air Force. His competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi in the four-man bobsleigh, competing with John James Jackson, Bruce Tasker, and Joel Fearon, where they finished fifth. With the disqualification of both Russian bobsleigh teams who finished ahead of them, they officially finished third.

Biography
Benson was born 12 February 1981 in Glasgow, Scotland. He grew up in Troon.

Benson is in the Royal Air Force, working as an avionics technician since the age of 20. He currently holds the rank of corporal. Whilst in the RAF, Benson competed with the RAF Athletics Team in the long jump and triple jump. Benson moved into sprinting, running in the fastest Scottish relay team for 16 years; and competing in the Crystal Palace Diamond League. However, the relay was not fast enough to qualify for the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games. This led him to try out at a bobsleigh "talent identification" event in 2011, where he was discovered in bobsleigh. This led to his becoming part of the GBR1 bobsleigh team; at the end of summer 2011 he was selected into the four-man GBR1 team.

In 2011 Benson won the Royal Air Force Sportsman of the Year, mainly for his track sport achievements.

Benson is married to Sarah Benson, who is a long-distance runner.

In 2013 the four-man bobsleigh team won a silver medal at the European Championships.

Olympics
Benson's debut Olympics is set to be the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, and he was given special dispensation for time off from the RAF to attend. Competition there for the four-man bobsleigh event began on 22 February 2014. The British Olympic Association had qualified the GBR1 four-man bobsleigh team as on the "podium programme", i.e. that they have a chance of winning a medal. Benson competed with John James Jackson, Bruce Tasker, and Joel Fearon; of whom only Jackson was experienced; Tasker, Fearon and Benson were all comparatively new to the sport. The team finished fifth in the event, 0.11 seconds away from a medal. However, two teams that finished ahead of GBR1 were later disqualified as part of the Oswald Commission investigation. The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the ruling in February 2018.

title: Bazar House in Miłosław

text:
Bazar House in Miloslaw () -
historic property located in the street Miloslaw- Spring of Nations 24 (Reg. No.: 1924 / A, 29/12/1983), in the district of Września, in Greater Poland.

History

The building was erected in the mid-19th century on the site of a former tavern and inn with stables, now located  in the Spring of Nations Square. It was expanded at the end of the same century. He is famous for the fact that during the Spring of Nations in 1848 Kosynierzy of the building fought a victorious battle with the Prussians, which resembles a commemorative plaque reads: "In this building Kosynierzy turning victorious Prussians resistance in r.1848, sponsored by the Society Miloslaw in 1964., during the celebration of the 650th anniversary of the city. "During the partitions, the building was the home of the fighting, among others germanization Gymnastic Society "Falcon", the building contained a restaurant, shops and hotel rooms  Until July 4, 2012, on the ground floor was here, among others,
pump-room  "Bazaar" (property, which was in place, was sold to the owners of shops Adams)

Miłosław was granted its city chard before 1397; the town was re-incorporated, under the Magdeburg law, in 1539. By the late 16th century, Miłosław had become a crafts hub of importance. A 1599 fire destroyed the city almost in its entirety.
A Lutheran synod took place there in 1607 which laid foundations for Protestantism in Wielkopolska. During the Swedish wars, troops commanded by Hetmans Stefan Czarniecki and Jerzy Lubomirski made their way through the town.
Early in the 18th century, Miłosław was the property of the Grabski family and from 1777, to the end of the 19th century, it was owned by the Mielżyński family.
During the Spring of Nations (1848) the town become one of the four major insurgent hubs. It was there that on April 30, 1848, Polish ulans, riflemen and scythe-bearing peasant recruits led by Ludwik Mierosławski and Feliks Białoskórnicki fought their victorious battle with the Prussian army.

Tourist spots

A market is to be met in the town's centre (named plac Wiosny Ludów – i.e. ‘The Spring of Nations Square’), with a monument boulder dedicated to the local children who fought for having their native Polish language and speech retained at schools in the years 1901–1904 and 1906–1907. House no. 24 at the market is the former Bazar building for which the severest fight unfolded in 1848, as commemorated by a memorial plaque fixed on its wall.
The town's peak point is the site of St. James's church from c. 1620, furnished with a late-renaissance main altar (also dated c. 1620) featuring an Assumption of Our Lady painting painted in 1844 by Seweryn Mielżyński. A neo-gothic belfry of c. 1850, crowned with crenellation, stands next to the church. In the yard by the church is a monument erected in honour of the 1848 insurgents. On the outer side of the church wall is a monument featuring statue of St. Laurence forming part of the grave of Miłosław scythe-bearing peasant soldiers.
Opposite to it is a former Evangelical church of 1870–1872 where a Gallery of the Miłosław Cultural Centre is housed now.
There is an early 19th-century palace in the southern part of the town. Beside the palace is a 37.8ha landscape park featuring ditches, bridges and ponds, founded, in a French style, in the early 19th century and later reshaped and extended into a romantic landscape park. The park contains a monument of Polish 19th-century poet Juliusz Słowacki, the earliest such ever in the Polish lands; next to the monument is a spreading oak-tree with the circumference of 680 cm.
Marked hiking and cycling routes are set via Miłosław.

title: Treaty of Sapienza

text:
The Treaty of Sapienza was concluded in June 1209 between the Republic of Venice and the newly established Principality of Achaea, under Prince Geoffrey I of Villehardouin, concerning the partition of the Peloponnese (Morea) peninsula, conquered following the Fourth Crusade. By its terms, Venice, which had been accorded most of the Peloponnese in the Partitio Romaniae, recognized Villehardouin in possession of the entire peninsula except for the two forts of Modon and Coron, which came under Venetian control, and secured commercial and tax privileges in the Principality. The text of the treaty is also a valuable primary source for the early history of the Principality of Achaea.

Background
Following the capture of Constantinople and the dissolution of the Byzantine Empire by the Fourth Crusade in 1204, the victorious Crusaders partitioned the Byzantine territories among them. The treaty of partition, the Partitio Romaniae, assigned most of the Peloponnese or Morea peninsula in southern Greece to the Republic of Venice, except for the northeastern regions of Corinthia and Argolis. In the event, Venice neglected to immediately enforce her claims, and in the course of 1205, a few hundred Crusaders, led by William of Champlitte and Geoffrey of Villehardouin, began to conquer the region on their own account. The conquest was fairly rapid, and the most determined Greek resistance was broken at the Battle of the Olive Grove of Koundouros in late summer. Isolated fortresses like Monemvasia, or the inhabitants of the mountainous regions of Tsakonia and Taygetus, still resisted, but by the end of 1205, Champlitte had consolidated his position enough for Pope Innocent III to refer to him as "Prince of Achaea".

Venice in the Peloponnese and the Treaty of Sapienza

Venice did not appear in the Peloponnese until 1206 or 1207, when a fleet took the Messenian peninsula with the two forts of Modon and Coron from Champlitte's men. In late 1208, Champlitte left the Peloponnese to take up his inheritance in Burgundy, and Villehardouin succeeded him as ruler of the new Frankish state, adroitly exploiting feudal law to avoid Champlitte's nephew from taking up the title instead. In May 1209, Geoffrey of Villehardouin participated in the Parliament of Ravennika, convened by the Latin Emperor Henry of Flanders. It was probably there—and likely through the Emperor's mediation—that negotiations began to reach a settlement reconciling Villehardouin's de facto  possession of the Peloponnese and the Venetian claims, which led to the signing of a treaty at the island of Sapienza, off Modon, in June.

By the terms of the treaty, Venice kept only the two forts of Modon and Coron, and recognized Geoffrey of Villehardouin as the master of the entire Peloponnese, "all the way to Corinth". In return, Villehardouin became a vassal of the Republic, with which he concluded a perpetual alliance. He and his descendants would have to become Venetian citizens, and were obliged to maintain a house in Venice and send an annual gift of two silk brocades for St Mark's Basilica and one for the Doge of Venice. Venice also acquired an exemption of her merchants from all tariffs, and the right to establish "a church, a market and a court" in every city of the principality.

The treaty satisfied both sides: Venice acquired a valuable outpost in the possession of Modon and Coron and safeguarded her commercial interests, while Achaea acquired a powerful ally in the form of the Venetian fleet, in exchange for a rather theoretical Venetian suzerainty. Villehardouin himself further secured Venetian support for his claim for the princely title against the Champlitte claimants, and by 1210 he had gained recognition as princeps Achaiae from the Pope.

The Treaty of Sapienza as a historical source
The text of the treaty is a valuable historical document as it is a unique source for information on the actual state of the Frankish principality so soon after its foundation. As the French medievalist Antoine Bon remarks, other, later sources, chiefly the Chronicle of the Morea, present the feudal organization of the principality as "complete and definitive" by 1209/10, but the Treaty of Sapienza shows the process of its consolidation still ongoing and incomplete.

Most notably, the principality had yet to achieve its full territorial extent, as the entire southeastern portion of the Peloponnese, the plain of Laconia with the two flanking mountain ranges of the Taygetus and the Parnon, were still unsubdued and held by the native Greeks, while in the northwest the Greek garrisons of the two fortresses of Argos and Nauplia continued to hold out until 1211/12. It was not until the early 1220s that the Laconian plain would come under Frankish control, and the last Greek outpost, Monemvasia, surrendered only in 1248.

The treaty also preserves the names of the feudal and ecclesiastic lords of the principality who signed it as witnesses, many of which are not otherwise attested.
