title: Pembrokeshire County Council, 1889–1974

text:
The first Pembrokeshire County Council was established in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888, to govern the administrative county of Pembrokeshire. This first county council was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972.

History
Pembrokeshire County Council was created under the Local Government Act 1888 to take over the local government responsibilities of the Pembrokeshire Quarter Sessions. The first elections were held in January 1889, and the council came into its powers on 1 April 1889. Henry George Allen, a Liberal, was appointed the first chairman of the county council. The first formal meeting of the county council was held on 1 April 1889 at the Shire Hall in Haverfordwest.

Subdivisions
District councils subordinate to the county council were established under the Local Government Act 1894, replacing the earlier sanitary districts (except those which were municipal boroughs). The districts of Pembrokeshire from 1894 to 1974 were:

Premises
The county council generally held its meetings at the Shire Hall at 47 High Street, Haverfordwest. In 1923 the council acquired the former Pembrokeshire and Haverfordwest Infirmary at the corner of St Thomas Green and Winch Lane, which had been built in 1872, converting it to become their main offices. The old infirmary became known as the County Offices, and remained the council's headquarters until its abolition in 1974. The building was subsequently used as an area office by Dyfed County Council. Following the re-establishment of Pembrokeshire County Council in 1996 and the opening of a new County Hall in 1999 the County Offices became surplus to requirements and so were demolished and a leisure centre built on the site, opening in 2009.

Abolition
The council was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 on 31 March 1974. From 1 April 1974 the area was split between the two new districts of Preseli and South Pembrokeshire, both of which were subordinate to the new county of Dyfed.

As a result of further local government reorganisation under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, which came into force on 1 April 1996, a new unitary authority of Pembrokeshire was established, with its council also taking the name Pembrokeshire County Council.

title: IPC Healthcare

text:
IPC Healthcare (), previously known as IPC The Hospitalist Company, was a publicly traded corporation which operates a national physician group practice focused on the delivery of hospital medicine and related facility-based services. IPC providers manage the care of patients in coordination with primary care physicians and specialists in over 1,900 facilities in 28 states across the U.S. The company name is derived from an earlier company called In-Patient Consultants Management, Inc. and the NASDAQ ticker name was changed to IPCM in 2008. The company changed its name to IPC Healthcare in January 2015. The company was acquired by TeamHealth in 2015 for $1.6 billion.

Adam Dean Singer (born in Los Angeles on April 20, 1960) has been director, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of IPC since he founded the company in 1995, and in 2006, was designated as the Chief Medical Officer. In 1991, Singer acquired a private practice in pulmonary medicine that shortly thereafter merged with two other pulmonary physicians to become part of Consultants For Lung Disease, Inc.

Controversy
The company disclosed that on June 7, 2010, it received a civil investigative demand (CID) issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois. The CID requested information concerning claims that IPC had submitted to Medicare and Medicaid.

In 2011, the company was the subject of an investigative report looking at the use of hospitalists in San Antonio area hospitals and at the death of a patient under an IPC physician's care.  A 2013 article published by JAMA raised concerns about the quality of care provided by hospitalists with excessive workloads.

In 2013, the US Justice Department joined a "whistleblower" lawsuit against IPC, alleging that IPC physicians sought payment for higher and more expensive levels of medical service than were actually performed – a practice commonly referred to as "upcoding".  Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that IPC encouraged its physicians to bill at the highest levels regardless of the level of service provided, trained physicians to use higher level codes and encouraged physicians with lower billing levels to "catch up" to their peers. Class action lawsuits against the company for overbilling are now being contemplated by various law firms specializing in such claims.

In February 2014, the former Attorney General of the State of Louisiana announced an investigation into whether IPC officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to IPC's shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws. In June 2014, the United States Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit against IPC alleging that it submitted false claims to federal health care programs in violation of the False Claims Act by knowingly engaging in systematic overbilling for hospital evaluation and management services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health benefit programs.

In February 2017, the company paid $60 million settle the False Claims Act qui tam lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois. The suit alleged that IPC encouraged and trained physicians in upcoding and utilized incentive compensation schemes linked to billing performance, which in some cases led to incentive compensation exceeding the physician's base salary.

title: Palmyra Delran

text:
Palmyra Delran, is an American rock and roll musician, songwriter, guitarist and producer who was born in Princeton, New Jersey and later moved to Philadelphia. She played in seminal 1990s Philadelphia-area rock bands The Friggs and Pink Slip Daddy, as well as several of her own solo releases and recordings.

Little Steven Van Zandt was a reported fan of Delran's previous band, the Friggs, and attended their 2008 NYC reunion show. After striking up a conversation with Palmyra, he learned of her new six-track solo EP She Digs the Ride. He added it to the Little Steven's Underground Garage playlist, picking "Baby Should Have Known Better" as a "Coolest Song in the World This Week", followed by radio listeners voting it "Coolest Song in the World" for 2008, which gained Delran considerable attention for her efforts.

The EP was followed up in 2013 with You Are What You Absorb, Delran's first full-length solo effort. The album included the single "You’re My Brian Jones", featuring a music video directed by Daniel Henry, and shot on location in Nashville.  Little Steven continued his support of Delran's work, voting "You're My Brian Jones" his No. 1 song of the year. In 2013, the songs "Shy Boy" and "Some Day Soon" ranked among favorites on Steven's and many Underground Garage DJ lists. Steven also voted the full album You Are What You Absorb as the No. 3 best record of 2013.

Delran tours the East Coast, Scandinavia, and the West Coast each year, and released a new single in spring/summer of 2014, "Run Now Baby" b/w "Yeah Yeah Yeah."  The single was recorded in LA with Dave Klein & Bubble Gun, and features special guest Kim Shattuck from The Muffs.

Previous Acts

Pink Slip Daddy

Delran was born in Princeton, New Jersey, and later moved to Philadelphia, where she met musician and rock critic Mike Ferguson, formerly of the group Sickidz!. The two began playing together under the name Das Yahoos, with Delran on drums, as well as members Robbie Rip-Rock (Rob Windfelder of the group Live Not On Evil) on guitar, and Clams Casino (Mark Fletcher) on bass. The band would break up in 1988, but Ferguson and Delran quickly formed a new band, called Pink Slip Daddy, adding Barb Dwyer on bass and Ben Vaughn (performing as Sal Mineo's Only Son) on guitar.

Pink Slip Daddy toured for several years, releasing a number of records on Apex East, Get Hip, and Sympathy for the Record Industry to critical praise before going on hiatus in 1993. The band reunited in 2013 for one show, and have indicated potential reunion dates in the future.

The Friggs

In 1991, Delran formed The Friggs, a project featuring Barb Dwyer, as well as guitarist, vocalist, and co-songwriter Jezebel. Playing a blend of sleaze-pop, rock, surf and punk, the band was critically and commercially embraced, touring almost non-stop for 10 years. The band has shared the bill with rock legends the Ramones, Cheap Trick, The Selecter, Dick Dale, The Fleshtones, Southern Culture on the Skids, and many more. Other members have included Petula Wilde, J. Whitey Smythe, Ginga Moon, Janey West, Suki Von Trapp, Kami, Lexi Plumm, Kitten LaChaCha, and Mitzi Dodge.

The Friggs’ music has appeared in a number of films, including Superbad, Jawbreaker, Prey for Rock and Roll, Lipstick and Dynamite, and The Treasures of Long Gone John.

After a number of EP's, 7 inch singles and compilations, the band released the album Rock Candy in 1997, and continued touring through 2001, when the band went on an indefinite break. In 2007, the band released Today is Tomorrow's Yesterday, a compilation of unreleased songs and past singles from the band.

Various Projects

KinderAngst

Written in collaboration with fellow songwriter Rachelle Garniez, KinderAngst, an album of punk and rock 'n' roll songs for kids was released in 2012. The album, produced by Delran and Garniez, featured 14 songs dedicated to the stresses and challenges of being a child, and using music to express their feelings. KinderAngst also features an appearance by Debbie Harry of Blondie.

Booty Olympics/Santa Marias

Delran played drums in the Booty Olympics in the early 2000s, who released Boystyle in 2003. The band later changed their name to Santa Marias, and released a self-titled CD in 2007.

title: Korea women's national basketball team

text:
The Korea women's national basketball team is a combined representative team composed of players from both South Korea and North Korea. The team competed in the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia.

History
The team competed in the 2018 Asian Games. South Korea and North Korea will compete as one in select events in the Asian Games. The composition of the 12-player team roster will be largely South Korean with 3 players being North Korean. The team will be led by South Korea's head coach Lee Moon-kyu.

South Korea and North Korea held exhibition games in men's and women's basketball at the Ryugyong Jong Ju Yong Gymnasium in the latter's capital of Pyongyang in July 2018. Two of the games featured mixed-teams with players from both countries; Team Prosperity and Team Peace while the other two games featured the national teams of both countries. Head coach Lee Moon-kyu used the exhibition matches by the women's teams to scout for possible North Korean players who may be included in the unified Korea team.

In the group stage of the women's basketball competition, the unified Korea was drawn in Group X with Kazakhstan, Indonesia and India.

In April 2019, the FIBA Central Board approved their participation "in principle" at the 2019 FIBA Women's Asia Cup. However such plan did not materialize with the Korean peninsula represented solely by South Korea in the tournament.

Team image
The unified Korean team had a local Korean manufacturer as their kit supplier instead of the Nike, the kit-supplier of the South Korea women's national team to avoid violating sanctions imposed on North Korea banning the importation of luxury goods including sports equipment.

title: Dunes Hotel and Casino (Atlantic City)

text:
The Dunes Hotel and Casino (Atlantic City) was a proposed hotel and casino that was to be built in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the late 1970s.  It was initially proposed to consist of 504 hotel rooms and a 34,500 square foot casino located at Albany Avenue on the Boardwalk.  It was to be the southernmost hotel/casino on the Boardwalk, adjacent to the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino. Due to financial and legal difficulties, the hotel was never completed and a casino license was never issued.

History

Development initially consisted of the purchase of the President Motor Inn and Mayfair Apartments at the site.  Construction began in 1979 with the demolition of the President Motor Inn and the project was involved in the Abscam investigation.  The project was halted in 1980 due to lack of financing, at which time it consisted of a two-story skeleton structure.  The project was owned by Continental Connector Corp. (which later changed its name to Dunes Hotel Casinos, Inc.), which also owned the Dunes in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The company was controlled by Morris Shenker,  a St. Louis attorney who had represented Jimmy Hoffa of the Teamsters union.  Shenker had been investigated by the federal government because of his ties with organized crime.  In the early 1980s, Shenker developed financial problems, leading to his filing for bankruptcy in 1984.

In April 1983, San Diego real estate developer Jack Bona took over the project as majority owner in a joint venture with Shenker's company.  Bona was a major borrower at San Marino Savings & Loan with his partner Frank Domingues, with large losses on $194 million in loans contributing to the thrifts' failure in 1984.

In 1983, Bona purchased an option to buy an adjacent lot [site of the aborted Sahara Boardwalk Hotel and Casino project] from GNAC Corp., a subsidiary of Golden Nugget, Inc. for $18 million.  He also obtained financing on the existing site in 1983 from the San Antonio Savings Association with a mortgage loan for $14.9 million.  Plans for the project were expanded to encompass 664 rooms and a 60,000 square foot casino.  Bona later took over full control of the casino project but experienced financial difficulties and filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 1985.  Just prior to the bankruptcy he had tried to sell some of the proposed rooms as condominium units.

In 1988, Bona's company was sold to the Royale Group Ltd., owned by Leonard Pelullo (a reputed mob associate involved with the Philadelphia crime family), although Bona was appointed as president of the company.  Royale Group Ltd. was formerly known as Cavanagh Communities Corp., which had tried to develop a hotel-casino called Royale Vista in the marina district in the early 1980s, and had also sold land to American Leisure Corp. for their proposed Camelot Hotel/Casino.  Royale Group Ltd. was placed in involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1989.  Bona was incarcerated in 1989 and spent almost two years in the Atlantic County jail on a writ of capia ad satisfaciendum for failing to disclose his assets after a monetary judgment was entered against him in regards to a lawsuit filed by GNAC over the land option deal.

In 1988 New York Developer Robert Cipriano of CDG of New Jersey made a bid to take the unsecured creditors out and restructure the property and assets.  Working with unsecured creditors Architect David Jacobson, Perini Construction and various engineers, Cipriano met with San Antonio Savings and other lenders to reorganize the Dunes project, renaming it Cascade Hotel & Casino.

The Resolution Trust Corporation took over the property after the San Antonio Savings Association failed in July 1989 and the bankruptcy was dismissed.  The unfinished structure on the property was taken down in 1991.  (The Mayfair Apartment building had previously been imploded in 1988 after falling into disrepair.)  The site was subsequently owned at various times by MGM Mirage, Park Place Entertainment, and Colony Capital.  It was sold to AC Gateway LLC in 2006.  A plan for a mega-casino was dropped due to the economic downturn, and a joint venture to develop a smaller Hard Rock Hotel and Casino was proposed in July 2011.  However the plan was dropped in September 2012 due to the struggling Atlantic City casino market. Student housing owned by Stockton University opened on the site in 2018.

title: Anders Jensen Horgen

text:
Anders Jensen Horgen (11 March 1861 – 2 June 1947) was a Norwegian farmer and politician for the Labour, Social Democratic Labour and Communist parties.

Biography
He was born as Anders Jensen in Hokksund as a son of fisher Jens Jakob Paulsen (1832–1865) and Regine Christensdatter (1831–1913). After basic schooling he worked in timber floating and timber trade, commencing merchantry in his homedistrict Øvre Eiker in 1898. In 1902 he moved to the farm Horgen in Nedre Eiker, running it for the rest of his life.

He was supposedly converted to socialism in 1888 after participating in the liberal workers' movement, where he met and heard Christian Holtermann Knudsen and Christopher Hornsrud. He was first elected to Øvre Eiker municipal council in 1898, and served as mayor from 1907 to 1916. He first fielded for parliamentary election in 1909. With shoemaker Bøhmer as his running mate, he carried the sub-constituencies Nedre Eiker, Røken and Hurum, but lost Lier to Conservative candidate Torger Holtsmark with quite a margin. In total Horgen had 1,904 votes compared to Holtsmark's 2,056, so a second round was necessary. Here, Holtsmark edged out Horgen with 2,951 to 2,504 votes.

He was elected to the Parliament of Norway from the constituency Buskerud in 1912, 1915 and 1918, serving three terms. In 1921 he joined the new Social Democratic Labour Party, and headed their ballot in Buskerud in the 1921. The party got the fewest votes, and he was not elected. By 1930, the two parties had merged, but Horgen had instead joined the Communist Party. He stood on second place on their unprevailing ballot in the 1930 election. He died in June 1947.

title: Camden Roll

text:
The Camden Roll is a 13th-century English roll of arms believed to have been created c. 1280, containing 270 painted coats of arms with 185 French blazons for various English and European monarchs, lords and knights.

The original roll is now held at the British Library as Cotton Roll XV. 8. It consists of three vellum membranes in total measuring 6.25" by 63". The face of the roll consists of 270 painted shields arranged in 45 rows of six shields, each with associated names and/or titles listed above each shield. The dorse includes French blazons for 185 of the shields on the face.

Provenance
The roll belonged to William Camden, Clarenceux King of Arms, c. 1605, and is believed to have been among several documents and manuscripts which were willed to Sir Robert Cotton in 1623. In 1700 Sir John Cotton, Sir Robert's grandson, sold the Cottonian library to the nation, and in 1753 the collection was granted to the British Museum in London.

Contents
The coats on the face of the roll are loosely divided into the following sections:
Shields 1–18: Emperors and kings
Shields 19–24: Foreign dukes
Shields 25, 27, 29, 30, 34, 36, 37: English earls
Shield 26: "Sire Aunfour" (Alphonso of England, Earl of Chester, eldest son of Edward I)
Shield 28: "Prince of Gales" (Prince of Wales)
Shields 31–3, and 35: Foreign counts
The rest are those of English lords and knights, with the following exceptions: 44–51, 54, 56–61, 71–2, 83, 88, 94, 102, 181, 184, 207–8, 226, 240, 243, 246, 256–67, 270
The blazons, written in French on the dorse, are of shields 1–202, with a small number of omissions: these include nos 9 "Rey de Escoce" (King of Scotland) and 86 "Johan Giffard" (John Giffard).

title: Old Athol High School

text:
The Old Athol High School building  is an historic school building at 494 School Street in Athol, Massachusetts. It is now a senior living center. The H-shaped two story brick Art Deco building was constructed in several stages between 1915 and 1937.   The building originated with a central portion that was built in 1892, to which two sides of the H were added in 1915.  In 1937 the original 1892 central portion was demolished and replaced by the present central section.  The building served as the town's high school until 1957 when it was used for junior high and middle grades in the Athol-Royalston Regional School District.  It served that purpose until 2003.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.  It has been converted to residential use.

Description and history
The Old Athol High School is located on a plateau above a bend in the Millers River, about  east of the downtown center of Athol.  It is located on the north side of School Street, from which it is separated by a low stone retaining wall dating to the 19th century.  Its H shape is oriented with one opening of the H to the south, and the other to the north.  The right leg of the H has a widened northern end.  Each of the wings is fronted by two bands of three sash windows on each level, which share stone sills and lintels and are divided within each group by panels of dark brick.  The central pavilion has groups of four windows on either side of the main entrance, similarly styled except that the dividing panels are considerably narrower.  The main entrance projects slightly, framed by a surround with Art Deco stylistic elements.

The town's first high school was built on this site in 1856.  A new school was built here in 1892, as part of a program for greatly expanding the town's schools in response to rapid population growth.  Continued growth prompted the addition of the two wings in 1915, which were designed by George Funk and William Wilcox.  The central pavilion was built in 1937 with funding support from the federal Public Works Administration, a Depression-era jobs program.  This section was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, a firm working out of Boston with credit for a number of school designs in the state.  The Art Deco style of this element, popular at that time, is extremely rare in Athol.  In 1957, a new high school was built after the town joined with Royalston to form a combined school district, and this building was used as a junior high school.  It was closed in 2003, and adapted for residential use as a senior living center in 2012.

title: Jen Lewin

text:
Jen Lewin is an American interactive artist and engineer. She is based in New York City and specializes in large scale installations in public spaces, usually combining elements such as light, sound and complex engineering. Her interactive light installation The Pool debuted in 2008 and has been exhibited across the globe, in cities such as Singapore, Sydney, Denver, Montréal and Prague, and in events such as South By Southwest and Burning Man.

Lewin has written publications about CAD-related topics. Her work has appeared on National Geographic.

Life and career
Lewin grew up in Maui and obtained her BA in Architecture and Computer Aided Design from the University of Colorado Boulder, later obtaining her M.P.S. degree in Interactive Design from Tisch School of the Arts.

Lewin married Kimbal Musk in 2001, brother of Elon Musk. They had two children together. They divorced in 2010. Lewin married William (Bill) Magnuson in 2015, and currently lives with Bill and their two children in New York City.

Her most known work, The Pool, featured on Wired, consists of over 200 LED-lit platforms that change color according to pressure and speed changes elicited by viewers' interactions with the system. Termed an "interactive light sculpture", where human interaction is necessary for its display, this installation has toured several countries. Specializing in works that involve technology and human interaction, she often includes musical elements into her creations. For instance, other projects or hers include laser harps, where people elicit music via interrupting the laser arrangements.

According to the Boulder Weekly, Google commissioned Lewin to "create an Android app for tracking feedback between her innovations and the groups of people interacting with them". Lewin, along with her Pool installation, was featured by the BBC News in May 2013.

Jen Lewin was co-founder of The Kitchen restaurants in Boulder, along with Hugo Matheson and then husband, Kimbal Musk. She designed its three original locations. Lewin is also the original designer behind the Learning Gardens  created for Kimbal Musk and his foundation The Kitchen Community, now called Big Green.

Lewin also co-founded The Studio Boulder with business partner William Goodrich.

title: Jean François Gail

text:
Jean François Gail (1795–1845) was a French classicist, the only son of the prolific hellenist and editor Jean-Baptiste Gail (1755–1829), and his wife Sophie Gail (1775–1819), a singer and composer. The parents married with two decades difference in their ages and were divorced in 1801.

Career
Gail was musical. He wrote many words for songs by Luigi Cherubini, and for Hector Berlioz he wrote the libretto for the cantata La mort de Sardanapale (1830), the last, of Berlioz' four attempts at the Prix de Rome.  His text for the Prix de Rome cantata of Hippolyte-Raymond Colet (L'entrée en Loge, 1834) also proved successful for that composer. In his Réflexions sur le goût musical en France (1832) he criticized French composers who were dazzled by the success of Gioachino Rossini and were tempted to imitate him.

His work Dissertation sur le Périple de Seylax: Et sur l'époque présumée de sa rédaction (1825) marks the beginning of modern critical study of the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax. He also edited texts of other minor Greek writers on geography.

title: All the Times We Had

text:
All the Times We Had is the first full-length album by the band Ivan & Alyosha, released on February 26, 2013, by Missing Piece Records, under license to Dualtone Records. It had originally been set to debut in August 2012. The album was generally well-received and sold more than 11,000 copies.

In June 2012, The Cabin Sessions EP, a special preview of the album featuring demo versions of "Be Your Man", "Don't Wanna Die Anymore", "On My Way", and "The Fold", was released, as was a single of the title track, which features harmony vocals by Aimee Mann. "Running for Cover" and "Easy to Love" were released as singles in December 2012 and January 2013, respectively.

Song information
"Easy to Love" had been featured on Ivan & Alyosha's 2009 debut EP, The Verse, the Chorus, and "Fathers Be Kind" had been the title track of their second EP, which came out in 2011, but the band decided to re-record these tracks for inclusion on their first full-length effort because they thought the songs were strong and warranted revisiting. Many of the remaining songs on the album had been part of the band's live show for over a year before they were recorded.

The band wrote "Be Your Man" for their wives. "The Fold" and "Don't Want to Die Anymore" were written by Tim Wilson, who said he was "particularly proud" of them lyrically. Pete Wilson wrote "All the Times We Had" about a bittersweet goodbye between friends.

title: Sneckdown

text:
A sneckdown (or snowy neckdown) is a temporary curb extension caused by snowfall, where snow has built up in the road but not been flattened by traffic, effectively reshaping the curb. Sneckdowns show how the space is being used by vehicle and foot traffic, and may reveal points where a street could be usefully narrowed with neckdowns to slow motor vehicle speeds and shorten pedestrian crossing distances.

The term was coined by Streetsblog founder Aaron Naparstek in 2014, popularized by Streetfilms director Clarence Eckerson, Jr. and spread widely via social media. Other Twitter hashtags that have been used to describe snow-based traffic-calming measures include #plowza, #slushdown, #snovered and #snowspace.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at Baltimore and 48th Street, a sneckdown-inspired permanent upgrade to the pedestrian environment was made in 2011. In the 1980s, some planners in Australia distributed cake flour in intersections to observe patterns of vehicle movement hours later.

title: Stade de Saint-Jean

text:
Stade de Saint-Jean is a multi-purpose stadium in the Saint-Jean quarter of Saint Barthélemy, an overseas collectivity of France in the Caribbean. It is the only stadium on the island and currently hosts matches of local rugby teams and the Saint Barthélemy national football team.

History
The stadium was originally constructed sometime before 1979 and regularly had poor soil and grass conditions. In 2010, Roman Abramovich, Russian billionaire and owner of Chelsea F.C., purchased personal property on the island and donated a reported 3 million euros to renovate the stadium.  The renovation included the installation of artificial turf and an athletic track.  Shortly after completion, the stadium was inaugurated with a celebrity football match which included former professionals Robert Pires and José Touré and formula one racer Paul Belmondo.

The reconstruction of the stadium and addition of an adjacent resort for visiting teams allowed the Saint Barthélemy national football team to play its first home match in 2010 against Saint Martin. These upgrades were again paid for by Abramovich following Hurricane Irma.

Jetsunma Mingyur Paldron, or Mingyur Peldrön (Tibetan: མི་འགྱྱུར་དཔལ་སྒྒྲྲོན་ mi 'gyur dpal sgron, 1699-1769) was a Tibetan Buddhist lama in the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions. She was the daughter of Chögyal Terdag Lingpa (Tibetan: ཆོས་རྒྒྱྱལ་གཏེར་བདག་གླླིང་པ་ chos rgyal gter bdag gling pa), the founder of Mindrolling Monastery. She was a disciple of Gyurme Tekchok Tendzin. She received the entire transmissions of Thug Je Chenpo De Sheg Kun Du from Lochen Dharmashri and mastered the Tsa-lung and Thigle practices at the age of fourteen. In 1717, when the Mongols invaded Tibet, she escaped to Sikkim where she taught the dharma for two years and founded the Pema Yangtse monastery. After the Mongol invasion, she returned to the Tibetan monastery Mindrolling, which had been destroyed, and rebuilt it with her younger brother.  She also gave empowerments, oral transmissions, and explanations of the collected works of Chögyal Terdag Lingpa and the Nyingthig Yabzhi to over 270 disciples, as well as establishing Samten Tse nunnery near Mindrolling .

An extensive hagiography of 200 folios, written by her disciple Gyurmé Ösel ('gyur med 'od gsal, b. 1715), was completed thirteen years after her death. Alison Melnick Dyer has published  articles about Mingyur Paldron, and is currently writing a book about her life and influence.

title: Dragon Wagon (Indiana Beach)

text:
Dragon Wagon was a roller coaster at the Indiana Beach amusement park.

It opened in 2014 and was the first at the park since Little Dipper which closed in 1970.  It was part of four ride additions at the park which included Rock 'n' Tug, Growler, and Baby Baron. It was located in the Kiddyland section of the park. It only was open for four years. The coaster is one of many Wisdom Rides dragon wagon models.

History
In early 2014, Indiana Beach announced on its Facebook page of a seven ride addition for the 2014 season. One of the new attractions was announced as a kiddie coaster titled "Dragon Wagon".  This came after the announcement that the park's oldest operating coaster, Galaxi, would be closing after 42 seasons.

All of the attractions opened for the season as planned, except for the Dragon Wagon roller coaster, which was postponed due to a number of delays while constructing. By late August 2014, construction ended and the ride opened with only a few seasonal operating days left. Dragon Wagon closed after the 2018 season.

title: Oblates of Jesus the Priest

text:
The Oblates of Jesus the Priest is a Roman Catholic religious congregation of sisters. Founded in Mexico in 1924, it is now represented in Mexico, the United States, Italy, and Ecuador. Their charism is “to love the priesthood and to make it loved,” so the apostolates of the sisters predominantly center on assisting priests and promoting the priesthood. These include, but are not limited to, ministering in seminaries, aiding retired priests, sewing vestments, assisting in rectories, working as secretaries for bishops, and conducting religious education in some parishes. The Oblate sisters are also very musical, emphasizing singing and playing instruments during their liturgies and sometimes writing their own music.

The prayer life of the order is especially Eucharistic with at least a half hour of Eucharistic adoration every day for each sister, as well as daily Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, and Rosary. As this congregation is part of the Family of the Cross, their spirituality is centered on the Spirituality of the Cross. Essentially, this spirituality emphasizes that Jesus was both priest and victim when he died on the cross, and so by uniting oneself with him, even in the mundane events of daily life, it is possible to also be mediators and offerings to God. The motto of the order is “In Oblation to the Lord”. Currently, the number of sisters worldwide is close to 120, with thirteen of their twenty convents located in Mexico. In the United States, the sisters, numbering around 22, can be found in the archdioceses of Chicago, New York, and San Francisco.

History
The Oblates of Jesus the Priest was founded in Mexico City on February 9, 1924, by Félix de Jesús Rougier, a French priest who first came to Mexico as a missionary in 1902. Rougier founded four congregations, including the men’s community known as the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit (1914) and three women’s congregations: the Daughters of the Holy Spirit (1924), the Guadalupan Missionaries of the Holy Spirit (1930) and the Oblates of Jesus the Priest. The Oblates were founded in Tlalpan, Mexico City, on February 9, 1924. They first became an association of the faithful on January 31, 1935, and on December 12, 1937, was approved as a congregation of diocesan right. On February 12, 1975, the Holy See elevated the congregation to the rank of institute of pontifical right.

Rougier was originally a priest of the Society of Mary; his superiors eventually gave him permission to join the community that he founded for men. He  was aided by a widow and mystic named Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, or "Conchita" who wrote about 200 volumes of spiritual writings. Shortly after it became an official congregation, Rougier died on January 10, 1938. He and Cabrera de Armida were both made venerable by Pope John Paul II – she on December 20, 1999 and Rougier on February 15, 2000.  the Family of the Cross included eighteen religious and lay institutes.

Beliefs and practices

The sisters are particularly devoted to the magisterium and the Pope. They participate in the March for Life and Walk for Life. In the United States, they have chosen not to participate in either the Leadership Conference of Women Religious or the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious.

title: Mike Henderson

text:
Michael James Henderson (July 14, 1953 – September 22, 2023) was an American singer-songwriter. In addition to his solo career, which included five studio albums, Henderson was a member of the country band The SteelDrivers from 2005 to 2011 and was a songwriting collaborator of his former SteelDrivers bandmate Chris Stapleton.

Biography

Early life and career
Henderson was born in Independence, Missouri, in 1953. He was an original member of blues group the Bel Airs when they formed in Missouri in 1981. They released an album, Need Me a Car, on Blind Pig Records in 1984. Henderson left the band in 1985 and moved to Nashville. The following year, he joined the roots rock band The Roosters. He was also a member of spin-off band The Kingsnakes. The Kingsnakes began playing weekly at the Bluebird Cafe in July 1986. They shortened their name to The Snakes when they were signed by Curb Records. An album, The Snakes, was released by Curb in 1989.

In 1988, The Fabulous Thunderbirds covered "Powerful Stuff", a song Henderson had written for The Snakes, for the soundtrack to the film Cocktail. Henderson later became a staff songwriter for EMI. His songs have been recorded by the Dixie Chicks, Trisha Yearwood, Gary Allan and Patty Loveless, among others. Henderson also found work in Nashville as a slide guitarist. He played on albums by Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt, Joy Lynn White and Kelly Willis.

Country Music Made Me Do It
Henderson's demos drew the attention of country music label RCA Nashville. RCA signed Henderson and released his solo debut album, Country Music Made Me Do It, in March 1994. Bob Cannon of Entertainment Weekly gave the album an A− grade, writing that Henderson's "enthusiastic field holler and his guitar's riveting twang give off enough sparks to ignite [the songs]." Dan Kening of the Chicago Tribune gave the album three and a half stars, saying that "Henderson downplays his guitar chops on his first solo album in favor of his songwriting and strong vocals and acquits himself admirably." The album also received a favorable review from Peter Cronin of Billboard, who declared that "Henderson comes to the party with plenty of attitude and a distinctive point of view."

The album's first single, "Hillbilly Jitters", peaked at number 69 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. When subsequent singles "The Want To" and "If the Jukebox Took Teardrops" failed to chart, Henderson was dropped by the label. "If the Jukebox Took Teardrops" was later a minor chart hit for Danni Leigh in 1998.

Edge of Night
After being dropped by RCA, Henderson founded the label Dead Reckoning Records with Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch, Tammy Rogers and Harry Stinson. His second album, Edge of Night, was released by Dead Reckoning in January 1996. The video for the first single, a cover of Eddy Clearwater's "I Wouldn't Lay My Guitar Down", was added by CMT in February 1996. Tony Scherman of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B+ grade, writing that Henderson is "a good songwriter, even if he wears his influences a little too plainly." Parry Gettelman of the Orlando Sentinel gave the album five stars, stating that Henderson's "strong, slightly sandpapery voice is as soulful as it is twangy." Chet Flippo of Billboard also reviewed the album favorably, saying that "Henderson manages to sound at once world-weary and exuberant in a solid lineup of original material and country chestnuts."

First Blood
Later in 1996, Henderson formed the blues band Mike Henderson & the Bluebloods with Reese Wynans on piano, Glenn Worf on bass and John Gardner on drums. They released the album First Blood in October 1996 on Dead Reckoning. Mark Knopfler wrote the album's liner notes. Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly gave the album an A grade, writing that "First Blood'''s blistering, seamless blues covers prove [Henderson]'s a remarkable guitarist and frontman." A review in People stated that "when the combination of piano, bass, drums and electric guitar is as neck-snappingly strong as it is on the Bluebloods' first album, you don't need other instruments, original compositions or even many original ideas to deliver a knockout blow." Linda Ray of No Depression also gave the album a positive review, praising Henderson's "masterful guitar and vocals" and saying that "the way he plays that slide is likely illegal in several states." The song "Pay Bo Diddley" received some radio airplay.

Thicker Than Water
Mike Henderson & the Bluebloods released their second album, Thicker Than Water, in January 1999 with John Barlow Jarvis replacing Reese Wynans on piano. Becky Byrkit of AllMusic gave the album four stars out of five, writing that "Henderson contributes a particularly clear vocal style with plenty of simultaneous character from both the blues and true-blue country music." The album received a mixed review in People, which praised Jarvis' "richly layered, hard-driving solos" but compared Henderson's vocals to "the white-guy-trying-to-sound-soulful desperation of Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi in their Blues Brothers mode." Ed Kopp of All About Jazz gave the album a positive review, saying that "leader Mike Henderson is a highly capable slide guitarist, harpist, and singer, but the guy who makes this CD extra special is John Jarvis." Tim Steil of the Chicago Tribune also gave the album a favorable review, stating that "whether playing Hound Dog Taylor-ish slide, or blowing harp lines that would make Little Walter smile, Henderson deftly conjures the sound of '50s Chicago."

Later career
Henderson toured with Mark Knopfler on his 2001 Sailing to Philadelphia Tour. In 2008, Henderson was one of the founding members of bluegrass group The SteelDrivers. He played mandolin, resophonic guitar and harmonica and co-wrote most of the band's original songs. The SteelDrivers' 2010 album Reckless was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2011. Henderson left The SteelDrivers in December 2011.

Adele performed Henderson's song "If It Hadn't Been for Love" for her 2011 DVD Live at the Royal Albert Hall''.

Henderson continued to play weekly shows at the Bluebird Cafe with the Mike Henderson Band.

Death
Mike Henderson died unexpectedly in his sleep on September 22, 2023, at the age of 70.

title: District No. 5 School (Shrewsbury, Massachusetts)

text:
The District No. 5 School is an historic school building and local history museum at 2 Old Mill Road in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.  It is one of two relatively unmodified one-room schoolhouses in the town.  Built in 1828, the brick schoolhouse is also one of the oldest surviving school buildings in the state.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Description and history
The District No. 5 School is located in western Shrewsbury, on the west side of Old Mill Road just south of its junction with Main Street.  It is a single-story brick structure, with a gable roof and a stone foundation.  It measures about , with its long axis and roof oriented east–west.  The eastern facade houses a single door, which provides access to the building.  The north wall has four windows, placed slightly irregularly, while the south wall has only three.  The west side has no windows, but also has evidence in the brickwork that there were once two windows.  The interior of the school has a vestibule area, which then opens into the classroom.  The wall separating the spaces is vertical tongue-and-groove, with an original Federal-period door.  The classroom walls are finished in vertical tongue-and-groove wainscoting, with plaster above.  Floors appear to be original random-width planking, fastened with cut nails.

The town of Shrewsbury, incorporated in 1727, established a district school system in about 1742, and had seven districts by 1792.  The present district 5 schoolhouse was built in 1828 on land purchased from Orville Lothrop, whose farmhouse still stands to the northwest across Main Street.  The school was funded and maintained by district residents until the state abolished the district system in 1869, after which the school (like the town's other district schools) was taken over by the town.  It remained in use as a public school until 1917, and its ownership apparently reverted to the Lothrops, but was later retaken by the town for nonpayment of taxes.  From the 1940s to 1960s it was being used as a residence, and it was restored in the 1970s to a turn-of-the-20th-century appearance.  The local historical society purchased the property from the town for $1 in 1974, with stipulations that it be used for exclusively historical purposes.  It is now operated by them as a museum.

title: Edward Abend

text:
Edward Abend (May 30, 1822 – July 17, 1904) was a German American politician, lawyer, and banker from the Kingdom of Bavaria. He came with his family to St. Louis, Missouri as a child, later moving to Belleville, Illinois. After studying at Lebanon College, Abend became a lawyer, eventually opening a practice in Belleville. Abend was active in the affairs of the city and county and was elected mayor four times. He served one term in the Illinois House of Representatives as a Free Soil Democrat.

Biography
Edward Abend was born in Marnheim, Kingdom of Bavaria, on May 30, 1822. His family emigrated to the United States, settling in St. Louis, Missouri. After a cholera outbreak killed his father, brother, and sister, Abend's family moved to Belleville, Illinois. Abend attended public schools in St. Louis, but attended a private academy in Belleville. He was admitted to Lebanon College in 1840. He was admitted to the bar in 1843 and practiced in Lebanon, Illinois for two years. In 1844, he purchased a farm and operated it for six years. He then returned to Belleville to again practice law.

Abend was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1848, serving one term. He was affiliated with the Free Soil Party and the Democratic Party. He maintained his affiliation with the Democrats, but often voted for Republican presidential candidates. He served as mayor of Belleville five times. He also served a term on the St. Clair County Board of Supervisors.

In 1860, Abend founded the Belleville Savings Bank and was named its first president. He also became president of the Electric Light Company of Belleville. He was the manager and president of the St. Clair Turnpike Company, which built a road in 1850 that was later sold to an electric railroad company. He was a director of the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad for twenty years.

title: Xhemal Bushati

text:
Xhemal Bushati (1880–1941) was an Albanian politician of the twentieth century.

Life
Xhemal Bushati was born Xhemal Shaqir Bushati in Shkodër, member of the Bushati family which ruled the Scutari Vilayet during the Ottoman Empire. He participated in two wars against the Montenegrin in Shkodër, during 1912–1913 and in 1920.

His first appearance as a politician was in 1913–1914 as an opponent of "Sejadi Milet" organization, a pro-Turkish anti-Independence movement powerful in Shkodra at that time. He was also an opponent of Essad Pasha and his pro-Serbian orientation. On 26 July 1916, the armies of Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes without any warning attacked Shkodra area from the Montenegrin border side (Hani i Hotit). Bushati was elected as one of the civic resistance groups, operating in the area of Vraka.

He participated at the Albanian assembly held in Bushat as a representative of Shkodër in 1919. There he cooperated with other government, cleric and people's representatives in generating a memo which was sent to the Paris Peace Conference where they opposed further partition of Albanian territories.

Bushati was a delegate in the Congress of Lushnje. On 13 February 1920, two days after the new institutions were installed in Tirana (the new capital), the new parliament representatives Xhemal Bushati, Hilë Mosi, Ndoc Çoba, and Sabri Bushati represented a declaration in the name of Shkodra's population which unconditionally approved all the decision coming out of Lushnja's Congress.  Bushati was elected member of the Albanian Parliament after the 1921 elections as representative of his home town. He cooperated closely with Luigj Gurakuqi as two main leaders of the Albanian parliamentary opposition of 1921-24 for the Prefecture of Shkodra.  Of thirteen representatives, twelve belonged to the opposition. In 1923 he was elected Assemblyman and again Representative.  In March 1923 he protested inside the parliament against the oppression and persecution that followed a revolt in Korçë.

A supporter of the June Revolution, he was part of the Fan Noli's government as a Minister without Portfolio, representing the moderate-conservative branch of the Albanian politics together with Sulejman Delvina and Rexhep Shala. After the return of Ahmet Zogu in power he left the country and was initially stationed in Bari. After the assassination of Luigj Gurakuqi (still collaborating with him), Bushati left for Paris and after a few months in Vienna, Austria stationed later in Sarajevo. Bushati was a core member of the "Bashkimi Kombëtar" (The National Union) anti-Zogist organization together with Sotir Peci, Sejfi Vllamasi, Angjelin Suma, and Ali Klissura founded in 1925 in Vienna. The organization members were financially supported by Yugoslavia.

Bushati returned in Albania after the Italian Invasion but did not accept any governmental position. He died unexpectedly in August 1941.

During the Communist Era his name was annihilated, and was restored after. In 1993, he was given the posthumous award "Pishtar i Demokracisë" (Beacon of Democracy) by President Sali Berisha.

title: West Brick School

text:
The West Brick School is an historic school building at 1492 Old Turnpike Road in Oakham, Massachusetts.  Built about 1827, it is one of the rural community's few surviving 19th-century brick buildings.  It served as a school until 1920, and was thereafter converted to a summer residence.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Description and history
The West Brick School is located in northwestern Oakham, on the north side of Old Turnpike Road, between Scott Road and the Old West Cemetery.  The school is a small 1-1/2 story brick structure, with a front-facing gable roof and a stone foundation.  The gable ends are finished in wooden clapboards, with a window opening (typically covered by batten shutters) at the center of the south one.  The front (south-facing) facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the left bay, topped by a transom window.  Windows are set in all sides except the west side, which has no openings.  The interior has a small entry hall, which opens into a single room occupying most of the interior.  A storage space along the west wall was probably intended for storage of firewood.  The interior has original flooring and walls, including vertical wainscoting and plaster.  Interior doors retain original hardward and fastenings.  The property includes the remnants of an old outhouse, and an organized roughly dome-shape pile of dressed stone that may have served as a base for a flagpole.

The building was built c. 1827 on the site of an 18th-century schoolhouse, with brick that was probably sourced from a brickyard on New Braintree Road.  It served as a school until 1920, when it was closed due to declining enrollment.  The school underwent a number of alterations during this time, mainly due to state requirements governing school facilities.  These were largely limited to improving ventilation during the heating season, and occasionally using shutters to manage light levels in the building.  After the school was closed, ownership apparently reverted to the adjacent land owner.  In 1936 it was converted into a summer retreat by a Worcester couple, with sensitive attention to its historic character.  In 2002 it was purchased by the town.

title: William John McNaughton

text:
William John McNaughton, M.M. (; December 7, 1926 – February 3, 2020) was an American-born Catholic missionary and bishop. As a member of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America (Maryknoll) he was assigned to missions in South Korea. He served as the first Bishop of Incheon from 1961 to 2002.

Early life and education
William McNaughton was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts to William John and Ruth Irene (Howe) McNaughton, the oldest of five children.  He was educated at Central Catholic High School in Lawrence and Maryknoll Seminary in Ossining, New York. He entered the novitiate for the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, or Maryknoll, and professed religious vows on August 30, 1949. McNaughton earned a Bachelor of Sacred Theology and a Licentiate in Religious Education from the Maryknoll Major Seminary.  He was ordained a priest on June 13, 1953.

Priesthood
After his ordination McNaughton studied the Korean language at Yale University. He was sent to Korea and was engaged in parish ministry in Chungbuk. He served on the College of Consultors in the Diocese of Cheongju. He served as the Vicar General of the same diocese from 1959 to 1960. Pope John XXIII named McNaughton the Titular Bishop of Thuburbo Minus and Vicar Apostolic of Incheon on June 6, 1961.

Episcopacy
William McNaughton was consecrated a bishop on August 24, 1961, by Cardinal Richard Cushing of Boston in St. Mary's Church, Lawrence, Massachusetts. The principal co-consecrators were Bishops John Comber, M.M., the Maryknoll Superior General, and Petrus Canisius van Lierde, O.S.A., the Vicar General of the Vatican State. A year later on March 10, McNaughton was named the first bishop of the Diocese of Incheon. He attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). In the Diocese of Incheon, McNaughton established schools, hospitals, homes for the sick and aged, and a major seminary. He was instrumental in establishing institutions and associations that ministered to the youth, workers, the poor, infants, and training lay leaders. From 1999 to 2000 a diocesan synod was held.

McNaughton held several positions in the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea. He served as the conference secretary from 1965 to 1981 and as the president of the Committee for Liturgy from 1965 to 1970. He was a member of the Ecumenical Committee from 1970 to 1973 and its president from 1973 to 1978. McNaughton served as president of the Committee for Catechesis from 1978 to 1984 and as a member of the Episcopal Commission for Clergy and Religious from 1978 to 2002. Pope John Paul II accepted Bishop McNaughton's resignation as Bishop of Incheon on April 25, 2002.

Later life and death
McNaughton retired to his native United States. He resided with his sister Ruth in Methuen, Massachusetts. During his retirement, he assisted in the Archdiocese of Boston and gave talks on the Second Vatican Council. He died on February 3, 2020, in Methuen. At the time of his death, McNaughton was one of four bishops who had attended all four sessions of Vatican II. His funeral was celebrated in St. Theresa's Church (Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish), Methuen, and he was buried in St. Patrick Cemetery, Lowell, Massachusetts.

title: Pema Trinle

text:
Jetsun Pema Trinle (1874-1950) was a Tibetan Buddhist teacher, and was one of only a few women authorized to teach the general and esoteric presentation of the Path and Result in the Sakya tradition, known as Lamdre Tsokshe and Lobshe respectively. As a child she received teachings from her paternal great-aunt Jetsunma Tamdrin Wangmo, her elder brother, her father Kunga Nyingpo Sampel Norbu, and  the abbot of Ngor, Ngawang Lodro Nyingpo. She rarely gave public teachings. She did tour eastern Tibet to give and receive teachings, and her main teacher there was Tenpai Wangchuk, who himself was a disciple of her great-aunt Tamdrin Wangmo. She also received Lamdre teachings from Jamyang Loter Wangpo, and gave teachings to the 3rd Dezhung Rinpoche.

She was known as a very famous nun who could predict anyone's time of death, and as a powerful medium to the Bamo deities, who were associated with the Khon family (her family).

There is a tradition that when she was giving initiations in one of the Sakya monasteries, other monasteries criticized having a woman do this, and they sent some monastic police to beat her; however, she caused an initiation vase to levitate in front of her while she adjusted her robes, and the police prostrated, received blessings from her and left.

She was the sister of Dragshul Trinle.

title: Lust for Love (2014 film)

text:
Lust for Love is a 2014 independent romantic comedy film written and directed by Anton King. The narrative follows the story of Astor (Fran Kranz) as he attempts to win back his childhood dream-girl Mila (Beau Garrett) after a short courtship precipitated by a drunken rescue by seeking the advice of her former best friend Cali (Dichen Lachman).

Plot
Astor, a zoology major, has dreamed of being with Mila since childhood.  One night, after drunken revelry on his birthday, he brings her home to care for her.  One thing leads to another, and a brief awkward courtship begins.  Having idolized her for so long, and being an incurable romantic, the courtship ends as abruptly as it begins.  Still obsessed with Mila, he turns to her close friend Cali, recently un-friended for reasons unknown for advice, tips, pointers, and direction.  This leads him in unexpected directions.

Cast
Lust for Love features a host of alumni from Joss Whedon's TV series Dollhouse.

Production
In order to produce the film, the creative team turned to crowd-sourced funding via Kickstarter.  The funding period ran from 12 October 2011 to 10 November 2011 with a goal of $70,000.  Ultimately $101,030 was pledged by Kickstarter backers.  The crowd-sourced funds were depleted just before the end of principal photography, and the production team made up the deficit.

Principal photography ran for 19 days in December 2011 with shooting locations in the Los Angeles area.  Post-production began in January 2012 using Final Cut Pro on the Apple Macintosh platform.  First assembly was complete in April 2012, and the first rough cut screening by the team was done in May 2012.  Additional cuts took place during the summer of 2012, with sound mixing and final editing taking place through the year.  Post-production was completed in April 2013.  The cast and crew screening for distributors took place on 18 June 2013.  By November 2013, a distributor had taken on the film, but remained in stealth mode.

Writer/Director Anton King had made a short film entitled "Lust for Love" which played at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival.  Being fond of the title, he decided to re-use it for his first feature film.

On 22 January 2014 it was announced that Gravitas Ventures would release the film via video on demand with a release date of 7 February 2014.  The film would be available via iTunes, Amazon Video, Google Play, Vudu, and other online channels.

Release
The premiere screening with Q&A and reception was held on 1 February 2014 at the Harmony Gold Theatre as part of the run-up to the general release.

The film reached #61 on the iTunes movie list within hours of its release.  On 10 February, the film reached number 5 on the iTunes movie list of independent movies.
