title: Néstor Girolami

text:
Néstor Adrián Girolami (born May 22, 1989), also known by the nickname "Bebu", is an Argentine racing driver.

His brother Franco is also racing driver.

Career
He began competing in karts in 1993. He remained in this discipline until 2005. The following year he made his debut in Formula Renault Argentina and the next he was runner-up, as well as in Formula Renault Plus.

He made his debut in TC 2000 in 2007, racing in one of his participations with the official Honda Argentina team.

In 2008 it went to TC Pista and Turismo Nacional and in 2009 it returned to TC 2000 and debuted in Turismo Carretera and Top Race V6.

In the 2011 Turismo Carretera season, Girolami achieved his first victory and qualified for the play-off. But in the penultimate race, he was involved in Guido Falaschi's fatal accident. Another serious accident in 2013 caused his suspension and subsequent separation from this series.

After competing with the official teams of the national subsidiaries of Honda and Renault in TC 2000, he joined the Peugeot team in the 2012 season of the series. That year he achieved two victories and in 2014 and 2015 he would win the championships with a total of seven victories. After this, he left the championship to carry out the full season of Stock Car Brasil.

He made his World Touring Car Championship debut at the Race of Slovakia in 2015 in a Honda Civic WTCC run by NIKA International, scoring points on his debut with a 10th-place finish. He competed in the 2017 World Touring Car Championship for Polestar Cyan Racing and took his first win in China. The team left the series after the season and Girolami returned to Súper TC 2000 and Top Race V6 in 2018. In TRV6 he finished third in the championship, behind his brother Franco and Agustín Canapino.

For 2019 he moved to the World Touring Car Cup to compete in a Honda Civic Type R TCR run by Münnich Motorsport. The 2019 season saw him take three wins, including two in a row in Hungary.

title: Man With the Blues

text:
"Man With the Blues" is a song by country music singer-songwriter Willie Nelson. After moving to Fort Worth, Texas, and quitting the music business for a year, Nelson returned to perform on the KCUL's Country Hoedown. Through a booking agent, he was signed as a recording artist by D Records.

To pay for his first recording session, Nelson gave his booking agent half of the publishing rights of the song. Backed with "The Storm Has Just Begun", the single failed to succeed. Subsequently, Nelson rerecorded it in 1976 and 2010.

Background
In 1957, after failing to land a spot on the Ozark Jubilee, Willie Nelson moved to Fort Worth, Texas, and quit the music business for a year. He sold bibles and vacuum cleaners door-to-door,  and eventually became a sales manager for the Encyclopedia Americana.

Returning to the music business, Nelson started to perform on the local show "Cowtown Hoedown" on KCUL. Uncle Hank Craig, the manager that booked the acts to the show helped Nelson to be signed as a recording artist to Pappy Daily's D Records and to his publishing firm, Glad Music.

Recordings
In 1959, Nelson assisted to his first session as a recording artist at Manco Studios in Fort Worth, Texas. His backing was composed of steel guitarist Bobby Penton, drummer Lonnie Campbell, bassist Johnny Smith and the Hoedown artists "The Reil Sisters" as his backing group. To pay for the session, Nelson gave Craig half of the publishing rights for "Man With the Blues". For its release as a single, the song was coupled with Nelson's original "The Storm Has Just Begun" on the flipside. Upon its release, the single failed to meet success.

Nelson recorded again the song in 1976 for his album The Longhorn Jamboree Presents: Willie Nelson & His Friends, in 2010 for his release Country Music., and in 2023 for his album Bluegrass.

title: Hantangang Dam

text:
The Hantangang Dam is a gravity dam on the Hantan River in Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Construction on the dam began in 2007 and completed in 2015. The primary purpose of the dam is flood control : it was proposed in 1998 after a series of floods in the late 1990s that killed 128 people, displaced over 31,000 and caused about US$900 million in property damage. Initially designed as a multi-purpose project, the design was changed solely to flood control in 2006 due to the concerns of residents upstream. It is being implemented by Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water).

Construction
Construction started in February 2007 and completed in mid-2015. K-water is responsible for planning and supervision. DL E&C (Daelim industrial.co. Ltd) was undertook the construction as a leading contractor. Not only to secure the stability against overflow during the flood season but also to reduce the construction cost through the mechanized construction fitting for the mega construction, the roller-compacted concrete (RCC) method has been applied. About 300 families will be displaced when the reservoir is filled.

This project also had a road project for the purpose of relocation of existing roads in Pocheon and Cheorwon areas that are submerged by the Hantangang Dam’s new flood water level. Relocation of roads project consists of a total of 27 km length and includes 11 large and small bridges within the roads. The newly relocated roads were built the flood water level high (EL.144m) along the National Route 87, Local Route 78, City Route 23, etc.

Design
The Hantangang Dam will be a  and  long gravity dam constructed of roller-compacted concrete. It has four spillways; a service, emergency, lower sediment discharge and eco-corridor. All four together will have a maximum discharge of . The water storage capacity for the reservoir is .

The Lincoln Mill and Mill Village Historic District is a historic district in Huntsville, Alabama.  Opened in 1900, it quickly grew to be Huntsville's largest cotton mill in the first quarter of the 20th century.  After closing in 1955, the mills were converted to office space that was used by the U.S. space program.  Two of the older production buildings burned in 1980, but one main building and numerous houses built for workers remain.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

History
The Lincoln Mill began in 1900 as an entirely locally funded concern.  One of the investors was Trevanian Dallas, founder of the adjacent Dallas Mill.  Named the Madison Spinning Company, the original building was built on Oakwood Avenue.  The mill required more capital to continue operating by 1903, and outside investors were brought in, including William Lincoln Barrell.  Despite the extra cash, the mill closed in 1906.  It reopened in 1908 under the name Abingdon Mills.  Abingdon constructed a new mill building in 1915, and an addition to it in 1916.  The mill was expanded again in 1918, with a two-story addition to the twisting mill, bringing capacity to 28,080 spindles and 476 looms.  47 houses and the village's first school were also built.

Despite the extra capacity, Abingdon went bankrupt in 1918.  Barrell bought the company at auction, and production resumed later that year under the name Lincoln Mill.  The next decade saw vast expansion of the mill and village.  The company began constructing 40 more duplexes and apartment buildings north of Oakwood Avenue, on a tight grid pattern of streets which became known as Lincoln Village.  A new mill building, costing $2 million and containing 750,000 square feet (70,000 sq. m.), was built in 1923–24.  A one-story dye house quickly followed, and the mill employed 1,000 workers and operated 102,000 spindles.  600 additional houses and apartments were built to serve the expanded workforce.  Another expansion in 1927 included more units for Mill No. 3 and 500 houses and apartments south of the mill.  The expansion brought the operation to its highest capacity of 120,000 spindles, 1,200 looms, and 2,000 employees.  In 1928, a mill store and community center were built, followed the next year by a larger school.

Production slowed during the Great Depression, and ground to a halt in 1934.  From July 17 until September 22, 1934, a strike by the United Textile Workers of America brought violence to Huntsville.  Although business rebounded during World War II, no further expansions of the mill or village were made.  In 1953, longtime superintendent Phillip W. Peeler retired, and the new management clashed often with the union.  Another strike in 1955 turned violent, and lawsuits reached the Supreme Court, but were not heard before the mill closed.  The mill buildings were converted to offices, some of which were used by the space industry; the Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle was designed in the mill by Brown Engineering.  The oldest two mills, along Oakwood Avenue, were destroyed by fire in February 1980.  The remaining Mill No. 3 has been renovated to house a variety of tenants, including offices, a microbrewery, loft apartments, and a school focusing on children with learning disabilities.  The remodeling focuses on using sustainable practices.

Architecture
The only surviving production structures are Mill No. 3 and the adjoining dye house, both built in 1924.  Both buildings are of reinforced concrete which was cast in place. The defining feature of the buildings are floor-to-ceiling multi-pane windows with steel muntins.  The Lincoln School, built in 1929 and separately listed on the National Register in 1982, echos this design, with large bays of windows separated by thick, concrete pilasters, although it contains more decorative details.  The company store, today used as a theater and antique shop, retains the same proportions but has more conventional windows along with street-level storefronts.

The remaining structures in the district are all residential.  Most prominent is the two-story, Colonial Revival Superintendent's House along Meridian Street, that has been renovated as offices for an adjacent auto repair shop.  The majority of the workers houses are duplexes, although there are also twelve extant apartment buildings and a handful of single-family homes.  The majority follow the Type M plan, of a one-story, hipped roof duplex that is two rooms deep.  The double entries are covered with a shed roofed porch.  The apartments follow the Type M style, but have multiple units attached to one another, and separate, gable roof porches.  Other styles include Type B, a rectangular, gable roofed plan with closely spaced entrance doors; Type D, a one-story plan with a central chimney and steeper gable roof; Type E, an L-shaped structure with a shed porch on the front; and Type H, a -story single-family design with a gable roof and shed roof dormer.  Though mostly undecorated, the houses do show some basic Craftsman detail, such as exposed wood rafter ends.  All houses are of wood-frame construction covered in stucco.

title: NewsFix

text:
NewsFix was an American television news program produced for CW affiliates KDAF in Dallas-Fort Worth, KIAH in Houston, Texas and WSFL-TV in Miami that originally premiered on March 19, 2011 on KIAH.

The program – airing daily on the former two stations at 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. Central Time and on the latter two at 10:00 p.m. local time (Eastern Time in Miami, and Central in Houston) – used a long-form format similar to a newsreel, with all stories presented primarily through video footage filmed by photojournalists employed by both stations and filed from affiliate news video services; it was targeted at a younger demographic (specifically those aged 12 to 34) that may receive news through online and other digital services rather than through television. On September 6, 2018, Tribune announced that the Dallas and Houston editions of the program would be cancelled effective September 14.

Format
The newscasts – which are respectively produced by KIAH and WSFL, although the editions on KIAH and KDAF are structured as two separate programs featuring stories focused on the respective Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth markets – de-emphasizes the use of news anchors to present the stories featured during the broadcast, opting to instead use footage involving the story with illustration on the story being reported through narration, intending to mirror how news video is delivered through the Internet in some respects.

Other differences in presentation include the use of a world map augmented with markers resembling mobile app icons to identify the location and to serve as a toss to each story segment (which is referenced with a brief headline-style description under the icon marker), the use of contemporary music (instead of custom or pre-packaged theme music) for the program's theme music and the substitution of teases before breaks in favor of the aforementioned visual tags to indicate segments and stories set to air.

The narrators for NewsFix are Greg Onofrio (for the weeknight editions) and Dennis Jon Bailey (for the weekend editions), who also deliver a commentary segment at the end of each broadcast. NewsFix maintains a faster-paced format than conventional television newscasts, incorporating an average of 33 segments per broadcast, about half of which focus on local stories. The program also incorporates a short weather segment (limited to current weather observations and a five-day forecast) and a sports segment (consisting mainly of scores, omitting highlights or game commentary), as well as features such as "Crime Bureau" (formatted similarly to a police blotter with photos of criminals on the run), "Day in Pictures" (featuring photographs of news stories and happenings in each city) and a historical music segment, "Day in Music".

Background

Origins
At the time the concept was being developed, KIAH (channel 39) carried more traditional early evening and prime time newscasts, which regularly fell behind newscasts on most of its main English and Spanish station competitors – particularly in the 9:00 p.m. time slot against the longer-established prime time newscast on Fox owned-and-operated station KRIV (channel 26) – since the station launched its news department in January 2000 (then as WB affiliate KHWB). By September 30, 2009, KIAH had expanded its news programming to include an hour-long early evening newscast, with (later aborted) plans to launch a weekday morning newscast earlier that year.

The idea for the program was conceived by Tribune Company chief innovation officer Lee Abrams (who resigned in October following complaints surrounding an inappropriate company-wide e-mail) in collaboration with KIAH news executive producer and Imaginator Gary Jaffe, as an alternative to newscasts Abrams deemed to follow "the 1970s television playbook". The Houston outlet would serve as the pilot station for the format to be named NewsFix, described by then-KIAH general manager Roger Bare in an interview with TVSpy as "a newsreel updated for the 21st century," which would only utilize an off-camera narrator to provide continuity for story and segment packages, requiring a far smaller staff to produce the broadcasts compared to traditional local news programs. As a byproduct of not using on-air anchors and reporters, it was designed to eliminate the "happy talk" segments between news blocks to devote more time to stories, while emphasizing the use of photojournalists that write and edit each story. Tribune originally planned to launch the format on Dallas sister station KDAF, but ended up offering the idea to KIAH (then without a news director, following the departure of KyAnn Lewis for a producer role at The Daily Buzz) after being rejected by station management. Gary Jaffe was hired by KIAH to serve as the "imaginator" (or news director) of the program.

Launch in Houston
On July 22, 2010, Tribune announced plans to premiere NewsFix on KIAH that September, with plans to expand the format to some of the company's other stations "that don't have a strong legacy news product or where the local news tradition may not be as strong as it is in other markets" if NewsFix proved successful in the Houston market. Station employees were informed that the rebooted newscast would feature "fast-paced stories, added special effects and a minimum of on-camera appearance by reporters or anchors." A pilot outlining the proposed format, produced at sister station WPIX in New York City, was presented to Tribune staffers in August 2010. Due to logistical issues that needed to be assessed (including workflow reconfiguration, staff training and production upgrades), the format launch was delayed three times – first to December, then to January 2011 and finally to March 2011.

KIAH reassigned most of its on-air staff (while others left) and hired additional production personnel in advance of the program's launch. Following 15-minute previews aired at the tail-end of KIAH's traditionally formatted newscasts the day before (March 18), the station relaunched its newscasts under the NewsFix format on March 19, 2011. Houston radio personality Greg Onofrio was hired to serve as the program's continuity narrator as well as an on-air commentator. At its start, the program was criticized for featuring stories often less current in nature, occurring the previous day and those that were light or offbeat in quality, with Jaffe stating in a Houston Chronicle interview that while the program "still [has] a component of day-of news," it was trying to "bring new stories into the mix" while also not simply updating the same stories featured, "trying to push the timeline forward." Some journalism analysts and professors also expressed doubt that the anchor-less format would attract viewers, particularly due to research by the Radio Television Digital News Association suggesting the importance of anchors to both older and younger viewers.

In its first two weeks, ratings for NewsFix were lower than under KIAH's previous traditional format, with the 9:00 p.m. broadcast averaging a 0.5 rating (down from a 1.0 rating in the February 2011 sweeps period). Bare expected that viewership would decline somewhat among people seeking a conventional newscast, but expected the program to draw in new viewers (with comments from viewers estimated to be "about two-thirds" in support of the change). Monthly ratings for the late evening broadcast dropped from a 1.0 in April to 0.9 in the May sweeps period (from a high of 3.3 in December 2009 before the reformatting), before increasing to a 1.2 in August. On September 14, 2015, KIAH added a half-hour edition of its iteration of the format, CW 39 NewsFix, at 10:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday evenings. On September 6, 2018, Tribune announced that the Houston version of NewsFix would be cancelled effective September 14. Following the cancellation, local newscasts returned to KIAH with a local three-hour morning newscast titled Houston's Morning Dose that the station launched on October 22 .  KIAH, which was acquired by Nexstar Media Group in September 2019, resumed a 9 p.m. newscast on May 11, 2020, with ABC 13 Eyewitness News at 9 p.m. on CW 39. The show utilizes the news staff and studio of ABC-owned KTRK-TV (channel 13).  On August 20, 2020, Morning Dose, which continues to be produced by KIAH without involvement from KTRK, was rebranded to No Wait Weather + Traffic.

Expansion to Dallas
Like KIAH, the news operation at its Dallas sister station KDAF (channel 33) had struggled; although it saw initial success with the 9:00 p.m. newscast that first launched its news department in January 1999 against established competition from Fox O&O KDFW (channel 4), a switch from a traditional toward a more tabloid-style format under news director David Duitch (who left the station in July 2012 to become website editor for The Dallas Morning News) resulted in declining viewership for KDAF's newscasts beginning in 2009. Following the departures of four on-air staffers, Larissa Hall (senior producer of KDAF's morning program EyeOpener) was promoted to "director of content" to oversee the station's newscasts in August 2012, developing a format called Nightcap, incorporating multimedia journalists (which require a single person to film, edit and report news stories) and humor within most of its story content, in order to reduce costs and make the broadcast profitable. The revamped newscast continued to post low ratings from the time it debuted on November 1, 2012, even registering "hashmarks" (indicating viewership too low to register a ratings point) on some nights during the initial switch to the Nightcap format, though ratings slowly increased over time (particularly in the adult 25–54 demographic). Hall left the station one month after Nightcap launched after being reassigned to other duties within the Tribune Company.

Steve Simon left KIAH to become news director at KDAF in November 2013, replacing Hall's replacement as news director, Denise Killian; he joined Bare who began overseeing the operations of KDAF (in addition to his existing duties at KIAH) in September. Following the change, reports indicated that Simon planned to bring the NewsFix format to the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The succeeding months saw the departures of many of KDAF's anchors and reporters, including longtime reporter Barry Carpenter and anchor Amanda Fitzpatrick (both of whom were with the station prior to the adoption of the Nightcap format), in preparation for the change. The Dallas edition of NewsFix (using the same narrators as the KIAH broadcasts) premiered on KDAF on May 20, 2014, beginning with the 5:00 p.m. broadcast; that edition would expand to an hour on Monday through Friday evenings on September 7, 2015 (matching the length of the weekend editions, which remained a one-hour broadcast after the early-evening newscast was reduced on weeknights prior to the adoption of the Nightcap format). As with its Houston counterpart, the Dallas version of NewsFix was cancelled on September 6, 2018, with the final edition airing on September 14.  Nexstar Media Group, in addition to KIAH, acquired KDAF in September 2019.

Expansion to Miami

On September 28, 2015, Tribune expanded the NewsFix format to Miami, when CW affiliate WSFL-TV (channel 39) became the third station to launch the format, with the debut of a half-hour prime time newscast, NewsFix SFL at 10:00. The move marked the first time that the station had aired a full-fledged local news program since the August 4, 2010 cancellation of The Morning Show – a four-hour morning news program that was produced at the Fort Lauderdale offices of its former newspaper sister, the Sun-Sentinel – with news programming being relegated to hourly updates that aired during the station's evening programs (and eventually, local news inserts during EyeOpener on weekday mornings) afterward; it was also the first prime time newscast to air on the station since August 31, 2008, following the termination of a news share agreement between WSFL and NBC owned-and-operated station WTVJ (channel 6), in which the latter produced a half-hour newscast for WSFL. As of September 2018, NewsFix SFL no longer airs on the station.  WSFL was acquired by the E. W. Scripps Company in September 2019.  Newscasts returned to WSFL in June 2021 with 7-9 a.m. and 10 p.m. editions of Local 10 News produced by BH Media-owned ABC affiliate WPLG.

title: Emma Hatton

text:
Emma Hatton (born 6 April 1983) is a British actress and singer, who played the role of Elphaba in the West End production of Wicked. She has also understudied the roles of Meat and Scaramouche in We Will Rock You and has a number of other professional stage and theatre credits, such as Donna in Dreamboats and Petticoats. In 2017 she took on the lead role in the Bill Kenwright touring production of Evita. In 2018 she toured as a featured vocalist with the vintage rotating music collective Postmodern Jukebox during their UK and European tour.

Early life

Hatton grew up in Coleford, Gloucestershire, attending St. John's Primary School and Lakers School. She enjoyed performing from an early age, beginning dance lessons at the age of three years, at the Jane Jarrett School of Dancing in Broadwell. Hatton studied for her A levels at Monmouth Sixth Form and her love of theatre grew from playing Sandy in the Lakers School production of Grease and starring in Anything Goes and Daisy Pulls It Off as part of the Forest Theatre Musical Society. She studied English and Sport Science at Loughborough University but enjoyed performing so much, she was inspired to spend a year at London School of Musical Theatre.

As a youngster Hatton was a very talented athlete competing in long and triple jump at county and national level . In 1999 she competed for her home county of Gloucestershire at the English Schools Championships in Bury St Edmunds qualifying for the finals where she finished in 5th place.

Stage career

After graduating from LSMT, Hatton did a variety of theatre work, her big break coming in 2009 when she made her West End debut and originated the role of Donna in Dreamboats and Petticoats. For a while after this she achieved mainly minor theatre roles but hit the West End once more when cast in the ensemble of We Will Rock You in late 2011, also understudying the role of Scarmouche. She chose to stay for a second year and additionally understudied the character Meat, as well as Scaramouche.

After being cast in Wicked, Hatton gave her final performance in We Will Rock You on 5 October 2013 and joined the cast of Wicked on 2 December 2013, becoming standby to the role of Elphaba. Due to a long term back injury sustained by the lead Willemijn Verkaik, Hatton found herself performing the role very frequently, in April 2014 she performed more times than Verkaik. She temporarily became lead Elphaba on 21 July 2014 but played her final performance on 2 August 2014 and returned to being standby when succeeded by original British Elphaba Kerry Ellis. She performed her 100th show in Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre on 3 September 2014.

On 3 October 2014 it was announced that Hatton would take over the role of Elphaba permanently following the departure of American Elphaba Jennifer DiNoia on 31 January 2015. On 17 July 2015, it was announced she had extended her contract as lead Elphaba until at least August 2016.

On 19 May 2016 it was announced that Hatton would play her final performance as Elphaba on 3 September 2016. She was replaced by the long running West End Elphaba Rachel Tucker for the 10th Anniversary of the show.

Other stage credits include Twlya in When Midnight Strikes at the Chelsea Theatre and Finborough Theatre, Fairy Godmother in Cinderella at the Harlequin Theatre, Heaven Sent at the New Wimbledon Theatre, Darling of the Day at the Ondaatje Wing Theatre (part of the National Gallery), Uncle Eric's White Christmas and A Comedy of Eric's at the New Vic and Christmas in New York at the Apollo Theatre.

Recent theatre credits

Charity work

Hatton completes a lot of work for charity, and is known for her fundraising for the British Heart Foundation. She has organised and starred in two concerts, both entitled Songbirds in 2013 and 2014, the latter featuring stars such as Sophie Linder-Lee, Jacqueline Hughes and Kerry Enright. She has also presented on the British Heart Foundation radio station.

In 2013 and again in 2014, Hatton ran the London Marathon for the charity, raising £9,266 in 2014, and completing the feat in a time of 5 hours and 39 minutes. She also ran the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon on 12 October 2014 to raise money for Moorfields Eye Charity and performed at Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens, in aid of the MAD Trust on 31 May 2015.

title: Dublin Council of Trade Unions

text:
The Dublin Council of Trade Unions is the trades council for County Dublin in Ireland.

In 1884, 34 craft unions were involved in organising an exhibition of artisan work in Dublin.  This necessitated regular meetings, and encouraged the unions to continue working together.  As a result, in 1886, 27 of the unions founded the Dublin Council of Trade Unions, with a meeting at the Odd Fellow's Hall.  The organisation was successful, and by 1894 it was able to convene a meeting of trade unions from across Ireland, which formed the Irish Trades Union Congress (ITUC).

In the 1920s, supporters of the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union left the council to form the Dublin Workers' Council, while supporters of the Workers' Union of Ireland, led by P. T. Daly, dominated the council.  They joined the Profintern and disaffiliated from the Labour Party.  At the 1923 general election, the council put up four candidates in Dublin seats.  None were elected, although Daly beat the official Labour Party candidate.

Following the 1945 split in the Irish Trades Union Congress, the Dublin Council split into the Dublin Council of Trade Unions and the Dublin Trades' Union Council.  The two reunited in 1960, and the reunited organisation played a leading role in the Dublin Housing Action Committee.

Ray Kimble (born April 19, 1953) is an American track and field athlete and former collegiate football player for Washington State University.  His primary event is the triple jump.  He is the current M40 world record holder.  His M45 best is 47 cm superior to the listed world record, but has never been ratified.

"Fourth place" describes his attempts to reach the Olympics and World Championships, as that was the place he finished twice at the U.S. Olympic Trials, 1984 and 1992.  In the 1984 he was beaten by the future gold medalist Al Joyner, silver medalist and 1992 gold medalist Mike Conley, Sr. and future world record holder Willie Banks, in 1992 it was Conley again and silver medalist Charles Simpkins (who he had beaten in 1984).  He also finished seventh in 1988.  Only the top three go to the Olympics.  He suffered the same fate at the 1983 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the qualifier for the first World Championships in Athletics, beaten by the same three competitors as in 1984.  He did represent the United States internationally at the 1991 Pan American Games, where he finished fourth.  By that time he was already 38 years old.  He continued jumping in top level competition against competitors young enough to be his children well into his 40s. Held Masters World Triple Jump Record M35 & M40.

After growing up in California, Kimble went to high school in Texarkana, Arkansas.  He was a starting wide receiver and occasional defensive back at Washington State, graduating in 1976.  There he used jumping on the track team as an excuse to avoid spring training with the football team.  He retired from jumping after college and took a job teaching physical education at Barnard White Middle School in Union City, California.  He returned to jumping in 1980.  More frustration, his personal best was a wind aided , which if it had been legal would still rank #33 on the world all time list.  At the time it would have been in the all time top ten.  His legal personal best was , +1.3 at the Modesto Relays and is #17 on the US all time list as of the end of 2017.

title: Back to the Shack

text:
"Back to the Shack" is a song by the American rock band Weezer. It was released as the first single from their ninth studio album Everything Will Be Alright in the End on July 22, 2014. The song was sent to radio stations and uploaded to Weezer's YouTube channel a day before the single's official release. It was written in response to the band's past several albums, with lead vocalist Rivers Cuomo wanting to return to their roots. The song received generally favorable reviews.

Background and composition

"Back to the Shack" was written by Rivers Cuomo and Jacob Kasher Hindlin. The song was produced by Ric Ocasek. Cuomo wrote a majority of the song, with Karl Koch describing Jacob Kasher Hindlin's contribution to the song as "randomly singing out the title while hanging out on the couch listening to [Rivers Cuomo] strumming the song. It doesn't take much to get half a songwriting credit." At one point, the song was performed with the bridge containing the lyric "we belong in the rock zone", before Cuomo, based on fan suggestions changed it from "rock zone" to "rock world". Regarding the composition of the song, Cuomo stated that he "tried to find different melodies and different beats and all these different things." Further, he stated that as he "couldn't crack the code" they had to go ahead and record it anyway. Ocasek introduced a synth melody line to the song during this period.

Cuomo explained that the lyrics refer to how he feels bad for the direction the band has taken on some of their past material. He admitted that sometimes he "went over the edge". He explained his desire to create "a classic alt-rock record." The "shack" serves as a reference to Amherst house, a home where some of the original Weezer members had lived and recorded a few of their demos.

Lyrically, "Back to the Shack" deals with the theme of nostalgia and a wish to return "to [the band's] 1994 roots". Dave Lewis stated the song serves as a thematic continuation of two previous Weezer songs, "In the Garage" and "Memories". It also deals with Weezer's relationship with their fans and serves as "basically an apology for the past two decades and a promise to embrace their nerdy roots." The song's opening lines—"I'm sorry guys, I didn't realize that I needed you so much"—in particular reinforce this theme. The song has been categorized under alternative rock and power pop.

Critical reception
"Back to the Shack" received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics. Carolyn Menyes from Music Times regarded "Back to the Shack" to be instrumentally similar to the band's second album Pinkerton, and stated that the song "features hooks for days, and the turn of events in the chorus is nothing short of a pure earworm." Mike Ayers of The Wall Street Journal described the song as "three minutes of pure Weezer joy", particularly for "its simple, yet heavy riffs and self-deprecating lyrics", while Spin critic Colin Joyce complimented the song for its "anthemic choruses and guitar anti-heroics". HitFix reviewer Dave Lewis called the song "generic rock", although he went on to compliment the middle eight and considered the song as a whole to be "a lot more promising", than their more recent releases.

Chris Payne of Billboard ranked it as the band's fifth best lead single, beating out "Hash Pipe", "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To", "Pork and Beans", and "Memories". Hilary Hughes of Fuse praised it as a return to the band's old sound, saying "a promising look at what's sure to be a satisfying listen for new and old fans alike." Ian Rogers from The Vine commented that it "Sounds exactly like a highly professional, crassly commercial L.A. rock band performing a Weezer-styled song about Weezer returning to their roots."

Release and live performances
"Back to the Shack" was released as the first single from Everything Will Be Alright in the End on July 22, 2014. The day before its release, the song was sent to radio stations, and uploaded to the band's YouTube channel.

Prior to release, the song was performed in February during the 2014 Weezer Cruise. The band performed it on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 23, the song's first performance on television. In August, the song was played during Musikfest.

Music video
The music video for "Back to the Shack" was directed by Warren Fu and released on September 29, 2014. The video features the band performing the song on the moon.

title: Robert A. Brooks

text:
Robert Alan "Bob" Brooks (May 10, 1932 – August 1, 2000) was an American telecommunications entrepreneur in St. Louis, Missouri who founded several companies and was listed by Red Herring magazine as one of the Top Ten Entrepreneurs of 1999. His two best-known companies were Cencom Cable Associates and Brooks Fiber Properties. Cencom was sold to Hallmark Cards for $1 billion, and Brooks Fiber Properties was sold to WorldCom for $3 billion. His companies were responsible for building hundreds of thousands of miles of fiber-optic and cable television wiring across the United States.

Career
A native of the Boston area, Brooks attended Boston Latin High and then Boston English High, from which he graduated in 1949. He enrolled at Northeastern University but dropped out the following year to join the United States Navy, where he gained familiarity with radio and radar equipment while serving during the Korean War. Upon leaving the military he returned to Northeastern University, receiving a degree in electrical engineering in 1958.

While still in school, Brooks worked two part-time jobs, one as a local police officer, and one as an electrical engineer. With his knowledge of radar from the Navy, Brooks obtained a job in 1954 at Spencer-Kennedy Laboratories in Boston, focusing on the expansion of cable networks. Upon graduating from Northeastern, Brooks resigned as a police officer to pursue a full-time career at SKL. By 1964 he was promoted to Chief Systems Engineer, though he had become frustrated with Spencer-Kennedy's lack of technological innovation. Brooks believed that the future was in transistorized equipment, but SKL was still focused on vacuum tube technology. So in 1965 he left SKL to become Chief Engineer at the Anaconda Wire and Cable Company, based in Sycamore, Illinois. SKL's fortunes faltered, and by 1967 the company was in serious financial trouble, so out of loyalty, Brooks returned to the company as vice-president to try to help salvage things. His efforts were unsuccessful, the company was taken over by the bank, and Brooks resigned in 1969. In 1970 he began consulting for a St. Louis-based company that was doing work in Vermont, J.C. Barnard & Associates.

Brooks then formed his own consulting company, Telecom Engineering, in St. Louis, which began to form some side franchises to run various cable systems in cities around Missouri. By the late 1970s he was head of Telecom Cablevision, which owned and operated cable TV systems west of St. Louis, in the cities of St. Charles, St. Peters, and Columbia. The company also operated some cable systems in the St. Louis area through a partnership with Teleprompter Corporation. Telecom Cablevision was eventually acquired by Group W Cable in 1980.

Next, in 1981, with seed capital of $300,000, Robert Brooks founded Cencom Cable Associates, pioneering the deployment of fiber-optic technology for cable TV. Within the next ten years, Cencom became the 21st-largest cable company in the United States, and in 1991 was purchased by Hallmark Cards, Inc., through its subsidiary Crown Media Holdings. In 1993 some former managers of Cencom — Howard Wood, Jerald Kent, and Barry Babcock — purchased the company back from Hallmark and formed Charter Communications, which in 1998 was sold to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen for $4.5 billion.

Also in 1991, along with his son John, Robert founded Brooks Telecommunications Company, which then spawned multiple subsidiary companies including Brooks Fiber Properties, and Brooks Telecommunications International, which was tasked with building broadband networks in Guangzhou, China.

Brooks Fiber Properties was founded in 1993 as a data CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier) for $41 million. BFP's first year's revenue was $2,000, which grew to $2.8 million in 1994, and $14.2 million the following year. In January it purchased another network company, City Signal, bringing its annual revenue to $23 million. It went public two years later. In 1996, BFP built a new Headquarters building in Town and Country, Missouri. Designed by architect Seab Tuck, the building featured the company's name spelled out in Morse code in the southern facade of the windows.

Brooks Fiber was acquired by WorldCom in 1998 in a transaction that valued the equity at $2.6 billion. Robert Brooks and several members of the Brooks Fiber team then went on to found Gabriel Communications, raising $80 million in three days, and naming the company after Archangel Gabriel. In 2000, just prior to Robert's death, Gabriel acquired Trivergent Communications, and the company was renamed to NuVox. In 2004, NuVox merged with NewSouth Communications, and in 2009 it was acquired by Windstream for $643 million.

Personal life
Brooks was strongly Catholic, and raised millions of dollars for both the Archdiocese of St. Louis and for Vatican City projects to restore churches in Rome. In 1990, he worked with Archbishop John L. May (1922–1994) and Sister Mary Ann Eckhoff to co-found the Archdiocese's "Today and Tomorrow Educational Foundation". In 1996, he was ordained as a Deacon by Archbishop (later Cardinal) Justin Rigali, serving at Ascension Church in Chesterfield, Missouri and at St. Mary's Star of the Sea in Longboat Key, Florida. He met Pope John Paul II multiple times, and helped arrange a Papal visit to St. Louis in 1999.

He was married for 47 years to JoAnne Brooks, with whom he had five daughters and three sons. One son, Robert A. ("Bobby") Brooks Jr., died in an automobile accident in 1974. John Brooks co-founded Millennium Digital Media Systems and NuLink, and as of 2014 is CEO of NuTeq Solutions. Michael Brooks held several senior positions at Anheuser-Busch, and as of 2014 is CEO of Ardent Outdoors, Inc.

Robert Brooks died in 2000 at St. John's Hospital in St. Louis, from complications after surgery for cancer. His funeral mass was performed by Archbishop Rigali.

title: Mushishi (film)

text:
, also known in English as Mushi-Shi: The Movie and Bugmaster, is a 2006 Japanese fantasy film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, based on the manga of the same name. It stars Joe Odagiri as Ginko, a traveler who dedicates himself to protecting the populace from supernatural creatures called Mushi. Otomo began work on the film in 2005 after declining a jidaigeki project. He was interested in creating a mix of live action and animation and felt the manga gave him an appropriate creative vehicle.

The film debuted at the Venice International Film Festival in 2006 and was screened at several other festivals prior to its theatrical release on March 24, 2007, in Japan. The DVD was released in Japan in 2007, in the United Kingdom in 2008, and in North America in 2009. The film has received a mixed response from film critics. Many praised Odagiri's performance and its visual but critiqued the plot and mythology as confusing. Mushishi received nominations and awards at film festivals and was among the 100 highest-grossing films of 2007 in Japan.

Plot
Mushishi opens with Yoki and his mother walking along a mountain when a cliff suddenly collapses. This is followed by a nonlinear narrative that moves between the past and the present. A series of flashbacks reveal that only Yoki survived, coming under the care of Nui, who is a Mushishi (or Bugmaster)—an expert in Mushi, which are supernatural bug-like creatures that are invisible to most humans. She lives near a pond where there are two types of Mushi: a fish-like Ginko who swims in the darkness-like Tokoyami. Because Nui spent too long looking at the Ginko, one of her eyes and the color of her hair were altered by the shadow of Tokoyami. Eventually, Nui is swallowed by the Tokoyami. When Yoki tries to help her, he is also swallowed. Only by sacrificing one of his eyes and his memories is Yoki able to survive. He then renames himself Ginko because it is the only name he can remember.

In the present, Ginko, to escape a blizzard, finds a village inn. After revealing himself as a Mushishi, he is asked to help several locals suffering from hearing loss. After he helps the locals, Ginko is asked by the innkeeper to look at her granddaughter, Maho, who is deaf, has horns on her forehead, and hears strange noises. Maho's mother had the same symptoms and was cremated after her death. Maho, however, kept her mother's horns, which turned out to be a disguised Mushi and the cause of her illness. Ginko heals the girl and then continues on his journey.

Ginko receives a letter requesting his presence from Tanyu, a woman infected with a Mushi that demands her to write about Mushi to expel it. On the way, he meets Koro, a Mushishi who is trying to capture a rainbow-like Mushi. They go to the house of Tanyu, where her nanny, Tama, says that a white-haired woman told them about the Tokoyami. When Tanyu tried to write about it, she was afflicted by paralysis and gangrene. Ginko then asks to read about the Tokoyami; while he is reading, the Tokoyami from the writings leave them and return to Tanyu, further exacerbating her condition.

Ginko faces the Tokoyami itself in the writings warehouse, while Tama and Koro try to remove the Tokoyami by bloodletting. The newly healed Tanyu accompanies Tama and Koro to the warehouse, where they find a collapsed Ginko. Tanyu begins to remove the writings from Ginko's body and reattach them to the parchments. After Tanyu removes the writings, Ginko awakens and continues on with Koro. The pair finds the rainbow-like Mushi. After this, they part ways, and Koro goes back to his hometown to build bridges. Ginko faces a Tokoyami-possessed Nui and carries her to the River of Light (or Koumyaku), a stream of glittering Mushi called Kouki—the origin of Mushi life.

Production

In November 2005, Katsuhiro Otomo announced that he would direct a live-action film based on Mushishi, a Kodansha manga by Yuki Urushibara, which would star Joe Odagiri and Makiko Esumi and would be released in 2006. Japan Digital Content Trust planned to raise $2.2 million (¥260 million) of the film's projected $8.5 million (¥1 billion) budget. Its filming lasted three months, and production of the film took two years.

Initially, producer Satoru Ogura came up with the idea of making a jidaigeki in collaboration with the team that worked on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Otomo was not confident in working on "a project of that size" as he had only directed one live-action film in 1991, titled World Apartment Horror. He instead suggested adapting Mushishi as he felt it would be "an opportunity to mix live action and computer graphics, to create a hybrid of the natural and the virtual".

Otomo felt that the concept of Mushishi was sufficiently unique to interest him creatively. He found the episodic nature of the work challenging but was able to fashion a cohesive screenplay by combining elements of the different stories present in the manga. Although he sent his script to Urushibara for review, she gave him complete creative autonomy. Otomo describes the film as "a kind of fable", and as such, he chose the Meiji era as its setting because he felt it offered the best framing for the story, as he considered the sudden disappearances of certain characters were also consistent with the nature of that historical period.

Release
The worldwide premiere of Mushishi took place at the 63rd Venice International Film Festival, which ran from August 30 to September 9, 2006. The film was shown at the "Visions" section of the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2006 under the title of Bugmaster. It was later screened in January at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival in the "Spectrum" section. It opened in Japanese theaters on March 24, 2007, after the release of a novelization by Naoki Tsujii on February 23, a soundtrack album by Avex on March 14, and a book with details about the film's production by Kodansha on March 22. In October of the same year, it was shown at the 2007 Sitges Film Festival.

In Japan, the film was released in DVD format by Tohokushinsha Film on October 26, 2007. Revolver Entertainment licensed it in January 2008 and was released on DVD in the United Kingdom on February 25. In September 2008, Funimation announced that it had acquired the distribution rights of the film to North America. A Blu-ray version was released in Japan on February 20, 2009, while Funimation released its DVD version on August 25, 2009, calling it Mushi-Shi: The Movie.

Reception
In its opening weekend in Japan, Mushishi ranked eighth at the box office. In total, it grossed $4,194,890, making it the 81st best gross of a film released in Japan in 2007. It was nominated at the Venice Film Festival in the best film category and at the Sitges Film Festival in the best film, best special effects, and best soundtrack categories, winning in the latter two. On its exhibition at the Sundance Film Festival, all tickets were sold out, and some people watched it standing because they did not buy reserved seats.

Critical response was mixed. Todd Brown, writing for Twitch Film, characterized the film as "long, slow, fairly pedestrian in its visual style, confusing for the newbies, [and] over-familiar for the existing fan". Anime News Network's Bamboo Dong praised its visuals but noted that the film could be confusing for viewers who are unfamiliar with the manga series and that Ginko "looks more like a cosplayer". Tony Sullivan of Eye for Film said it is "beautifully acted, shot and scored" but cited the "lack of oomph" as a reason why "the movie is rather dull". Mark Schilling from The Japan Times praised Odagiri but criticized the film for being "a text too tangled and murky for the uninitiated to easily penetrate or parse". The cast performance was praised by Variety reviewer Derek Elley who declared its "longueurs and narrative obscurities consign this 'Bug' to highly specialized outings". Sullivan, Schilling, and Elley criticized its soundtrack, especially the use of didgeridoos.

Sally Foster from Film Threat praised its visuals and "a few good Japanese-style creep-out scenes" but described the storyline as "incomprehensible" due to "the overabundance" of information about its mythology. John Sinnott of DVD Talk asserted the film could not reach the quality of the manga; he cited the lack of explanation about Ginko's background as one of the reasons. Sinnott criticized its slow pace considering its duration and said that "there isn't much mystery or suspense." Anthony Enticknap from Den of Geek said its plot is "complex at times, and often drifts into the realms of the incomprehensible". Although he criticized the film's "pedestrian" pace, Enticknap praised Omori's performance as well as the film's cinematography and use of CGI. While praising Odagiri's acting and deeming the film's visuals an "A-game", DVD Verdict's Adam Arseneau said it "feels disjointed and fragmented".

While he preferred the anime version, Mania.com's Chris Beveridge praised the film as "a soothing and atmospheric movie that captures everything that it should", singling out Otomo's direction and Odagiri's acting. Scott Green from Ain't It Cool News wrote that he "didn't find it as breathtaking as Otomo's anime spectacles or as effecting as earlier version of Mushi-Shi", but did "find it a fascinating movie to watch and consider". Joseph Luster from Otaku USA called it "fantastic" though declared Mushishi would not be "nearly as strong without him [Odagiri] in the lead". Kevin Kelly, writing for Cinematical.com, dubbed it "a film not for everyone" because of its storyline's complexity and "unusual type of mythology and storytelling". Kelly concluded, "if you like Japanese cinema, fantasy storytelling, and interesting characters, you'll love this film." Similarly, Justin Howe of Tor.com declared it is "a bit too inert for most people's tastes" but said "Mushishi is a fantasy film that's worth seeing. It's more eerie than scary, often haunting, and occasionally beautiful."
