title: Vast Countenance

text:
Vast Countenance is a rock 'n' folk band from Volendam, the Netherlands, founded in 1999. Vast Countenance toured the Netherlands and the United States. Its albums have been released in several countries.

Biography

Start off
Vast Countenance was formed in 1999 with the objective to bring forth own music. Almost all members originate from the cover band Sister Ray (founded on 31 December 1996) – Cor Bond and Simon Tol didn't come along. Members continue playing in Sister Ray as well, though, sometimes during one same appearance.

The name of the band was invented by the first lead singer, Mario Reurs. For the group members it is an English translation without an additional meaning. They don't link it to Kabbalah of which they initially had never heard of (i.e. in Kabbalah 'Vast Countenance' is the first sephira). The song Sister Ray of Velvet Underground has been the inspiration for the name of their other band.

Still quite at the beginning, Johan Molenaar replaced Reurs as the lead singer of the band. In 2004 Vast Countenance released its first album, a demo version that carries the name of the band and contains nine own compositions. The CD was well received and the genre was at that time described by the newspaper Noord Hollands Dagblad as "Beatle-style pop with a whiff of rock 'n' roll.

Influences and music style
Vast Countenance's music genre has changed slightly in course of time. It has been qualified by some as part-sung alternative rock and Britpop, as well as a mixture between indie rock and folk by others. Meanwhile it has developed into rock 'n' folk. It combines influences from the 1960s with a contemporary sound, and finds inspiration in the music of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and Velvet Underground, as well as from songwriters like Tim Buckley and Neil Young.

The band only produces self written music. Most songs originate from a guitar chords composition of Molenaar, on the basis of which the group writes its songs together. The part sung choirs of the first two albums have been arranged by Nico Tol (Stein). During studio sessions afterwards, the songs are shaped into their final settings.

Reception
In 2006 the music group released its album As We Please in the Netherlands, United States and Japan. The album contained seven newly written songs and three make overs of the first album which were described by the Dutch music magazine LiveXS as "a fresh sounding melody machine." The song Clay was released as a single too. Guest appearances on the album were from Peter Bien (trumpet) and Jozef Veerman (keyboards).

OOR Magazine reviewed the band in 2007 as follows: "From the region of Waterland surprisingly Dutch talent comes sailing along ... 'We're all jugglers juggling with, the endless possibilities of life' is just one of the simple, but pretty formed sentences on the album. The pliant, sunny melodies and beautiful part-sung choirs  link up seamlessly with the texts. Extra little points deserve the strong choruses, unexpected transitions and the special singing. Pop as pop is meant to be." OOR was critical on the recording quality of the demo version.

Seattle and San Francisco
In 2008 As We Please got the attention of American music promoter Michael Sudden. He introduced the band to some radio stations around Seattle that resulted in airplay, and in reviews in magazines subsequently. In November of the same year the band traveled along the West Coast during two weeks, where it performed in two clubs in Seattle, and finished its tour with street performances in San Francisco. It received positive reviews, such as "Dutch group Vast Countenance gives '60s rock a breathtaking makeover."

2010s
In 2011 the music group released its album Elephant Child. As a result of the joining of violinist Anne Veerman to the band, the genre can definitely be defined as rock 'n' folk. In its review, the Noord Hollands Dagblad regards the song Not A Bad Moment as world class, with further comments like "One by one strong songs ... inimitable melody lines ... really brilliant."

Ten songs of Vast Countenance reached the Volendammer Top 1000, an all-time list that was compiled in 2013 by the listeners of 17 regional radio- and television stations.

Cor Schilder (Pan), drummer and one of the singers in the band, was killed on 17 July 2014, when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down above Ukraine.

Fidelis Ndyabagye (born February 24, 1950) is a Ugandan athlete.  He represented Uganda at the 1980 Olympics in the long jump.  He also competed at the 1978 All-Africa Games where he won the silver medal in the long jump and set the still current Ugandan national record at 7.75 meters.

After the Olympics he attended the University of New Mexico.  He won the Western Athletic Conference 1982, 1984 and 1985 Indoor Championships and the 1985 Outdoor championships.  By the time of his 1985 championship, he was 35 years old.  How he managed to pass the strict NCAA eligibility requirements at that age is not explained.  His winning jump of  at his home stadium in Albuquerque would not only be a new national record, but a masters M35 World Record.  The Uganda Athletics Federation does not list the mark as a record, the WAC and University show the mark.  The masters record would be surpassed a year later by Yugoslavian Nenad Stekić, who only a few years earlier had held the distinction of being the second best long jumper in history.

title: Gabriel Macchi

text:
Gabriel "Gaby" Macchi (born 2 October 1975) is a Paralympic athlete from Portugal competing mainly in category T12 long-distance events. Macchi has competed in the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Summer Paralympics, and has won medals at both European and World IPC championships.

Career history
Macchi was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1975. He began running at the age of 14 to accompany his father who was a keen marathon competitor. As a youth he was diagnosed with juvenile glaucoma and his eyesight progressively worsened into his adulthood. Macchi began competing in long-distance racing in 2006 and due to his visual impairment was classified as a T12 disability athlete. He impressed enough at country level to be immediately accepted to represent Portugal at the 2006 IPC Athletics World Championships in Assen. There he entered both the 5,000m and 10,000m races, finishing seventh in both. In 2008 he was again selected for the Portuguese team, this time  to travel to Beijing to compete in the Summer Paralympics. In Beijing he entered both the 10,000m which he failed to complete, and the joint T11/12 marathon, in which he finished 14th.

In 2011 Macchi travelled to New Zealand to take part in the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championship at Christchurch. There he entered the marathon but he was unable to complete the course. Macchi had better success the following year in the 2012 IPC Athletics European Championships where he came third in the 5,000m, his first major international medal. 2012 also saw Macchi enter his second Paralympic Games, one of three Portuguese competitors in the T12 marathon. Macchi recorded a season's best of 2:40:13 to finish sixth. In his third World Championships, held in Lyon in 2013, he again challenged for the T12 marathon. On this occasion he finished third to take the bronze medal.

Roberts was born on 25 May 1957 in Harrogate, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. She trained as a nurse at St James's University Hospital in Leeds, becoming a State Registered Nurse (SRN) in 1978. She then worked as a staff nurse on the burns unit of St Lawrence Hospital, Chepstow.

In 1979, Roberts left her nursing career and matriculated into the University of Leicester to study archaeology. She graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA Hons) degree. She had originally intended to return to nursing after completing her degree, but instead continued to study archaeology. From 1982 to 1983, she studied environmental archaeology and palaeoeconomy at the University of Sheffield, graduating with a Master of Arts (MA) degree. She undertook postgraduate research in bioarchaeology, palaeopathology and medical history on a part-time basis at the University of Bradford, and completed her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in 1988. Her doctoral thesis was titled "Trauma and its treatment in British antiquity: An osteoarchaeological study of macroscopic and radiological features of long bone fractures from the historic period with a comparative study of clinical radiographs".

Academic career
From 1983 to 1988, Roberts was a research assistant at the University of Bradford "on a project focusing on human remains". She was appointed a lecturer in palaeopathology in 1989 and made a senior lecturer in medical anthropology in 1994. While at Bradford, she supervised Mary Lewis' doctoral thesis. In 2000, she moved to Durham University where she had been appointed Reader in Archaeology. She was appointed Professor of Archaeology in 2004. She was also a Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellow from 2006 to 2008, and a Nuffield Foundation Research Fellow from 2006 to 2007.

title: Vasily Severgin

text:
Vasily Mikhailovich Severgin (; 19 September 1765 – 29 November 1826) was a Russian academician, chemist, mineralogist, and geologist. For three decades, he was the only academician elected to the Geological Society of London. He has been described as being among the most influential pioneers of geology in Russia.

Biography
Severgin was born in St. Petersburg, the son of a court musician. He studied at the Gymnasium of the St. Petersburg Academy (1776)  of Sciences and then went to the university in 1784 to study mineralogy. He then completed his studies at the University of Göttingen (1789) after studying basalts in the region. He trained under J.F. Gmelin. He examined the contemporary dispute between the neptunists and plutonists. In 1789 he returned to present papers on basalt and argued against the neptunists, suggesting that basalts formed from molten liquid. In 1789 he was made adjunct chair of mineralogy and began to examine mineral chemistry based on ideas from Lavoisier. He published a book based on Kirwan's Elements of Mineralogy (1791). His book on the foundations of mineralogy (1798) was the first Russian text dealing with ideas on chemical analysis and rock formation. He travelled widely between 1802 and 1804 visiting most of western Russia, the Baltic region, Poland and Finland collecting mineral samples and visiting educational institutions, mines, and factories. Severgin was the founding editor of the journal Tekhnologicheskii zhurnal begun in 1803. He edited it until his death in 1826.

title: Franz Haller

text:
Ferenc Haller, count Haller von Hallerkeö (24 March 1796 – 5 March 1875) was a Hungarian politician. He served as ban of Croatia-Slavonia between 1842 and 1845 during the Croatian national revival and the Illyrian movement in  the 1830s and 1840s.

Haller was born in Kerelőszentpál, Transylvania, as a member of the Hungarian-Transylvanian branch of the Haller von Hallerstein family. He was promoted by emperor Franz Joseph as ban on 16 June 1842 and was later promoted to lieutenant general. He took office on 18 October. Haller was brought in to carry on Magyarization in Croatia. In 1843, the use of the Illyrian name was banned. In large part due to the July victims incident, in which thirteen protesters were killed in Zagreb, Haller resigned his post and continued his military career in the Austrian Empire. Bishop Juraj Haulik became ban soon after.

In 1845 Haller donated 500 forint for building the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb.

title: Bujagali Energy Limited

text:
Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL), is an electric energy generating company in Uganda. The company owns and operates the Bujagali Power Station, which was the largest hydropower plant in the country as of July 2014.

Overview
BEL is a single purpose company, formed to develop the 250 megawatt Bujagali Hydropower Station. Under arrangements with the government of Uganda (GOU), BEL owns and operates the power plant for 30 years, starting with commissioning. After the 30 years, BEL will transfer ownership of the station to the GOU for US$1.00. The power generated is sold to the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited, the Uganda electricity transmitter monopoly. The power purchase agreements were executed between the concerned parties, in December 2005.

Power stations
BEL owns and operates the Bujagali Hydroelectric Power Station, a 250 megawatt hydropower station built on the Victoria Nile at a cost of US$900 million between 2007 and 2012.

Ownership
As of September 2016, the shareholders in BEL were as listed in the table below. In May 2018, the Daily Nation newspaper reported that Jubilee Holdings Limited was set to invest an additional KSh4.4 billion (US$44 million) the business, in addition to the KSh5.5 billion (US$55 million) that it had already invested. In August 2018, Sithe Global Power of the United States, exited the company and SN Power AS, of Norway acquired shareholding in the business. After the exit of Sithe Global Power in 2018, the shareholding was adjusted as reflected in the table below. SN Power AS was acquired by Scatec along with its assets on 29 January 2021.

Financing
The following entities contributed funds to build the power station. As of July 2019, the restructured debt package was approximately US$500 million, with IFC contributing about US$100 million to the total new loan package.

In December 2017, the Ugandan government reached consensus with the power station's financiers on restructuring the loans and waiving taxes on the power generated, to enable the cost of power to the consumer to reduce. In July 2018, with about US$450 million of the US$900 million construction loan repaid, the remaining loan was restructured and extended for another 15 years, thereby lowering the loan payments and related electricity tariffs to as low as US$0.08 per unit, for large industrial customers. The new lower electricity rates were expected to commence in July 2018.

title: Flinders University Museum of Art

text:
Flinders University Museum of Art (FUMA), sometimes referred to as Flinders Art Museum, is an art museum in Adelaide, South Australia, that preserves and develops Flinders University's historical and contemporary art collections.

History
The art museum was formally established in 1978 by resolution of the Flinders University Council to house the university's growing collection of art. Since the first year of undergraduate teaching at the university in 1966, art had been actively acquired to complement courses in fine arts.

The collection was established in 1997 in Grote Street in Adelaide city centre. It relocated to the State Library of South Australia on North Terrace in 2003 until its closure in June 2018. In that year, FUMA's Online Collections Catalogue was launched.

From 2019 a dedicated gallery, co-located with the Art Museum at the university's Bedford Park campus, "presents diverse and inclusive curatorial projects that provoke enquiry and support innovative collaborations between regional and global partners".

The  Post-object and Documentation collection, "one of the most comprehensive national collections that documents conceptual art making in the 1960s and 1970s", was initiated by Donald Brook, Chair of Visual Arts at Flinders from 1974. He also gifted a collection of work by the experimental Sydney art collective of the 1970s, Optronic Kinetics, which amalgamated science and technology with art to produce radical new works of conceptual art, sometimes humorous.

Collections
The Flinders University Museum of Art collection has grown to more than 8,000 works, making it one of the largest university art collections in Australia.

The collection covers four main areas:
  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art
  European prints
  Post-object and Documentation
  Australian political posters

The university collections may be viewed by appointment.

title: Sopu Tower

text:
Sopu Tower (), also known as Isopu Tower, San Blas Tower or Torre Nuova, is a small watchtower situated on the cliff between San Blas and Daħlet Qorrot in Nadur, Gozo, Malta.

Isopu Tower was the last watchtower to be built in Malta, apart from the tour-reduits of the 18th century. It is one of four surviving towers on Gozo, with the others being Xlendi Tower, Dwejra Tower and Mġarr ix-Xini Tower.

History
Isopu Tower was built by the Order of Saint John in 1667 during the reign of Grandmaster Nicolas Cotoner at the expense of the Università of Gozo. The latter paid for its garrison but artillery was supplied by the Order itself. The tower is square in shape, and the design is similar to the Xlendi and Dwejra Towers.

The walls are thick with inward slopes. The tower has a high barrel vault with the middle floor resting on rib arches. A spiral staircase provides access to the various floors. The main doorway had four escutcheons with coats of arms of the Order and the Gozo Università, and the personal arms of Cotoner and the Governor of Gozo.

By 1785 the tower was not permanently manned, but in 1792 it was rearmed with four 6-pounder iron guns. It was the only small coastal watchtower which actually tried to resist the French invasion of 1798 when it fired its guns on the approaching French fleet.

Present day

By the early 21st century, the tower was in a state of disrepair. Parts of it had weathered while most of the interior had already collapsed. The tower was restored by Din l-Art Ħelwa and the Nadur Local Council between 2003 and 2006. The restoration work was carried out by hand by Leli Saliba and his son. The spiral staircase was completely rebuilt from scratch, as were the roof and most of the interior. Only one of the original arches had survived, and it was used as a model on which to rebuild the roof. The restored tower was reopened on 20 August 2006.

Nowadays, the tower is open for visitors on three Sundays in every month, but plans are underway to convert it into a visitor centre as part of a nature trail in the area.

The area around the tower has been designated as a special conservation area.

title: Johan Fredrik Feyer

text:
Johan Fredrik Feyer (16 July 182126 June 1880) was a Norwegian industrial pioneer and factory owner.

He was born in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway. He was the son of Christian Feyer (1793-1879) and Helene Othilie Falck (1792-1865).
His father was a state official and court administrator  (sorenskriver). While he was young, his family moved to Egersund in Rogaland. He was educated by the parish priest in the parish of Hå with further education in Christiania. During the 1840s, he traveled to Great Britain to study  stoneware production. In 1846 he returned to Egersund where the following year he established a pottery plant, Egersund Potteria, which became Norway's leading stoneware manufacturer during  the 1850s.

From 1865 the factory was known as Egersunds Fayancefabrik, producing the fine tin-glazed pottery on earthenware known as faience. By 1876, the factory encountered a financial crisis  and was administered by the courts. The estate was not insolvent and the factory continued. Feyer was offered a position which he  declined. He subsequently left Egersund and settled  in Christiania.

title: Richard Poole (footballer)

text:
Richard John Poole (born 3 July 1957) is an English retired footballer who played as a centre forward in the Football League for Brentford and Watford and in France for Sporting Toulon Var.

Playing career

Brentford
Along with Kevin Harding, Poole was one of the first players recruited when the Brentford youth team was relaunched in 1972, after joining the club at the age of 12. Poole made his professional debut in a Fourth Division match versus Lincoln City in February 1974, while still an apprentice. At 16 years, 7 months and 20 days old, Poole's league debut was at the time the club's second-youngest. In the final home game of the 1973–74 season, Poole scored one and made another in a 2–0 win against Bradford City on 20 April, a result which saved the Bees from having to apply for re-election. Poole still stands as Brentford's youngest league goalscorer. He signed a professional contract during the 1975 off-season and made seven further appearances for the club, before leaving in July 1976.

Watford
Poole joined fellow Fourth Division club Watford in July 1976 and made 9 appearances and scored one goal during the 1976–77 season.

Sporting Toulon Var
In 1977, Poole emigrated to France and joined Division 2 Group A club Sporting Toulon Var. He made 8 appearances and scored two goals during the 1977–78 season, before a knee ligament injury brought his career to an end in April 1978. He was a teammate of future France and Ivory Coast internationals Jean Tigana and Jean-Désiré Sikely respectively.

title: Gunner B

text:
Gunner B (8 March 1973 – 18 January 2003) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a racing career which lasted from May 1975 until October 1978 he contested thirty-three races, winning fourteen times, finishing second five times and third seven times. Originally trained in Yorkshire, he won twice as a two-year-old in 1975 before becoming a highly successful handicapper in the following season, when he won the Cecil Frail Handicap, Andy Capp Handicap and the Doonside Cup. He won three races in 1977 including the Group Three Diomed Stakes but appeared to have been well-exposed as a tough, consistent horse who was some way below the best. After joining the stable of Henry Cecil in 1978, however, he emerged as a genuinely top-class horse winning the Earl of Sefton Stakes, Brigadier Gerard Stakes, Prince of Wales's Stakes, Eclipse Stakes and Valdoe Stakes as well as finishing second in the Benson and Hedges Gold Cup and third in the Champion Stakes. After his retirement from racing, he became a very successful sire of National Hunt horses. He died in 2003 at the age of thirty.

Background
Gunner B was a "strong, deep-bodied" chestnut horse with a narrow white blaze bred by Tom Barratt at his Harness Grove Stud in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. He was the best horse sired by the American stallion Royal Gunner, who won the Cornhusker Handicap in 1966 and finished second to Roman Brother and Buckpasser in successive runnings of the Woodward Stakes. Gunner B's dam, Sweet Councillor, was an unraced daughter of Sugarstick, a half sister of the Cambridgeshire Handicap winner Sterope.

During his racing career Gunner B raced in the colours of Tom Barratt's wife Pauline. The colt was originally sent into training with Geoff Toft at his stable at Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Racing career

1975: two-year-old season
After running third on his debut, Gunner B finished first in a race over five furlongs at Pontefract Racecourse in May but was "unluckily" disqualified. He finished placed in his next three races before winning a six furlong maiden race at Newcastle in August. In the following month he won a Nursery (a handicap race for two-year-olds) at Doncaster Racecourse, winning by two lengths from Gemina.

1976: three-year-old season
On his first appearance as a three-year-old, Gunner B won a minor race over ten furlongs at Doncaster on the opening day of the flat season in March. After finishing fourth on his next appearance he was moved up in class and finished second in both the Dee Stakes at Chester and the Dante Stakes at York in May. He was dropped back to a mile for the Cecil Frail Handicap at Haydock Park at the end of the month and recorded his first important victory, winning by eight lengths, ridden by Joe Mercer. He then won a moderate event over a mile and a half at his local Beverley Racecourse and then carried a big weight to victory in the Andy Capp Handicap at Redcar in early July, after which he was offered at odds of 8/1 for the St Leger Stakes. He then produced a creditable effort in defeat in a one-mile handicap at Beverley, finishing third under a weight of 141 pounds. When Gunner B contested the Gordon Stakes, a recognised St Leger trial at Goodwood however, he ran poorly and finished last of the six runners. Gunner B bypassed the St Leger, running instead in the Doonside Cup over eleven furlongs at Ayr Racecourse in which, ridden by Mercer, he was required to concede weight to older horses including Patch (Great Voltigeur Stakes), Rymer (Brigadier Gerard Stakes) and Dakota (St Simon Stakes, Ebor Handicap). Gunner B tracked the leader Patch before taking the lead two furlongs from the finish and won by half a length from Rymer. at a price of 12–1.

1977: four-year-old season
After finishing unplaced on his debut as a four-year-old, Gunner B finished third to Lucky Wednesday and Relkino in the Westbury Stakes and third to Oats in the Ormonde Stakes. At Epsom Downs Racecourse in June, Gunner B started at odds of 12/1 in the Group Three Diomed Stakes over eight and a half furlongs. Ridden by Joe Mercer he recorded his first Group race win, beating Duke Ellington by half a length and followed up a week later by winning a minor race at Beverley. He went on to finish fourth to Lucky Wednesday in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and third to North Stoke in the Land of Burns Stakes at Ayr, before recording a half length win in a race for amateur riders over a mile at Newmarket Racecourse in August. He ran poorly on his only subsequent appearance two days later.

1978: five-year-old season
Although he remained in the same ownership in 1978, Gunner B was transferred to the stable of Henry Cecil at Warren Place in Newmarket. Ridden by Joe Mercer (Cecil's stable jockey), he established himself as the best older horse of the season over ten furlongs. On his first appearance for his new trainer, Gunner B started at odds of 7/2 for the Group Three Earl of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket in April and won from Uncle Pokey and Gairloch. In the Brigadier Gerard Stakes on hard ground at Sandown Park Racecourse in May, the five-year-old started at 2/1 and won again, with Uncle Pokey and Gairloch again following home as he broke the course record established by Artaius in the 1977 Eclipse Stakes. At Royal Ascot in June, Gunner B started the 4/5 favourite for his second attempt to win the Prince of Wales's Stakes and won "without difficulty" from the Harry Wragg-trained gelding Fluellen and the Prix Messidor winner Malecite. In July, the horse faced a field which included Balmerino, Super Concorde, Radetzky (St James's Palace Stakes, Queen Anne Stakes) and Jellaby (Brigadier Gerard Stakes, Queen Anne Stakes) in the Group One Eclipse Stakes at Sandown. He was made the 7/4 second favourite behind Stradavinsky, a lightly-raced but highly regarded three-year-old trained by Vincent O'Brien. Mercer positioned Gunner B just behind the leaders before moving forward early in the straight. He got the better of a protracted struggle with Radetzky to take the lead entering the final furlong and held off a late challenge from Balmerino to win by three-quarters of a length.

In August, Gunner B started second favourite behind The Derby runner-up Hawaiian Sound in the  Benson and Hedges Gold Cup over ten and a half furlongs at York Racecourse in a field which also included Balmerino, Julio Mariner, Cistus (Nassau Stakes), More So (Irish 1,000 Guineas), Jellaby, Pyjama Hunt and Don (Lockinge Stakes). Hawaiian Sound took the lead soon after the start and although Gunner B mounted a sustained challenge in the straight he was never able to reach the three-year-old and finished second, beaten one and a half lengths. Gunner B was dropped in class for the Valdoe Stakes at Goodwood in September. He started the 4/9 favourite and won by half a length from the three-year-old Admiral's Launch, the winner of the Craven Stakes. Gunner B's final race was the Champion Stakes at Newmarket in October, in which he started third favourite behind Hawaiian Sound and the French filly Dancing Maid. He tracked Hawaiian Sound throughout the race, but was unable to quicken in the closing stages, finishing third of the ten runners behind Swiss Maid, beaten three lengths by the winner.

Assessment
Gunner B did not receive a rating in the 1975 Free Handicap, which rated the best two-year-olds to have raced in Britain. The independent Timeform organisation gave him a rating of 106, making him twenty-four pounds inferior to their top-rated juvenile Manado. In the following year, Timeform described him as "a grand horse" and gave him a rating of 121 fourteen pounds the top-rated horse Youth. In the official British handicap for three-year-olds he was given a weight of 127 pounds, thirteen pounds behind the top-rated Vitiges. He failed to gain a rating in the inaugural International Classification for older horses in 1977, and was rated eighteen pounds behind the top-rated Balmerino in the British Handicap for horses aged four and above. His Timeform rating dropped to 116, although the organisation's annual Racehorses of 1977 described him as "thoroughly genuine and a doughty battler". In the International Classification for 1978, Gunner B was rated the fifth-best older male in Europe, behind Alleged, Buckskin, Crow and Guadanini. Timeform gave him a rating of 126, twelve pounds behind their Horse of the Year Alleged.

Stud career
At the end of the 1978 season, Gunner B was syndicated for £9,000 a share, giving him a theoretical value of £360,000. He began his career a breeding stallion at the Limestone Stud in Lincolnshire at a fee of £3,000. After a brief spell in Germany he was moved to the Shade Oak Stud in Shropshire, where he remained for the rest of his life.

Gunner B's offspring made relatively little impact on the flat, apart from Royal Gait, an outstanding stayer who was controversially disqualified after winning the Ascot Gold Cup before going on to win the Champion Hurdle, and the Lincoln Handicap and Earl of Sefton Stakes winner K-Battery. After his return from Germany however, he became a very successful National Hunt stallion. Apart from Royal Gait, he sired the Grand National winner Red Marauder, the World Hurdle winner Iris's Gift, Red Striker (Peter Marsh Chase), Bobby Grant, Barrow Drive, Gunner Welburn, Swingit Gunner and Forest Gunner. He received several awards from the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association for his achievements as a sire of jumpers.

On 18 January 2003, Gunner B died of heart failure at Shade Oak and was buried at the stud. At the time of his death he was believed to be the oldest active stallion in Europe. The stud's owner, Peter Hockenhull said "He put us on the map – he's practically built this place ... a Gunner B would always win a race somewhere, somehow" and added "He had the vet out just twice in 13 years. He would have carried on this year, as the physical side of covering was not a problem, though with his age he did have declining fertility".

title: By the Sea (2015 film)

text:
By the Sea is a 2015 American romantic drama film written and directed by Angelina Jolie (credited as Angelina Jolie Pitt), and produced by and starring Jolie and Brad Pitt. Shot in August 2014 during Pitt and Jolie's honeymoon in Gozo, Malta, the film was released by Universal Pictures on November 13, 2015.

The film received mixed reviews and did not do well at the box office, grossing just $3.3 million against its $10 million budget.

Plot
In 1960s France, an American couple, Vanessa and Roland, arrive at a coastal resort for a vacation. They have rented an elegant suite at a local hotel, where Roland, a successful author who is suffering from writers’ block, hopes to find the inspiration to write a new book.

The two are barely on speaking terms; Vanessa, a former dancer, is withdrawn and grieving for an unknown reason, whereas Roland spends his days drinking in a local bar, where he strikes up a friendship with the manager, Michel.

One day Vanessa notices that a disused radiator pipe has left a hole in the wall adjoining the next apartment. Through this, she spies on a newlywed couple, Lea and Francois, who have just moved in.

Vanessa becomes friendly with Lea, and she and Roland socialise with the couple, going sailing with them. But on a night out, they deliberately get Lea and Francois drunk, so that together they can watch their behaviour through the spy hole.

Gradually their voyeurism leads to Vanessa and Roland rekindling their sexual relationship. However Vanessa goes further, and attempts a sexual liaison with Francois in his hotel room. Roland witnesses this through the hole in the wall, bursts in on them and attacks Francois.

Back in their own room, the pair have a showdown, which exposes the root of their problem; after several miscarriages, Vanessa has been forced to accept that she can never have children.

Lea and Francois leave the hotel after Francois confesses his infidelity to his wife. Roland goes after them and explains the reasons for Vanessa’s behaviour. The couple decide to try to save their marriage, not least because Lea is pregnant.

Having finally come to terms with the reality of their life together, Vanessa seems to achieve a measure of peace and Roland is able to finish writing his book, which he tells Vanessa is all about her.

As Vanessa and Roland leave the hotel and drive away, their future together appears more optimistic.

Production
In May 2014, it was announced that Angelina Jolie would co-star with Brad Pitt in a film titled By the Sea, to be written and directed by Jolie. The Hollywood Reporter speculated it would be a relationship drama that Jolie wrote several years ago, centering on a couple with issues who take a vacation in a last-ditch effort to save their marriage.

This was the first cinematic collaboration between the two since Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Prime Minister Joseph Muscat of Malta confirmed the project, stating that it would be partially filmed at Mġarr ix-Xini.

Jolie stated that the film "at its core, is about grief" further noting that the loss of her mother in 2007 caused a great deal of sadness for her. To that end, the movie resembles movies of the 1960s and '70s; Jolie stated that her mother "loved films of that period".  Christian Berger is the cinematographer; he used mostly natural light throughout filming, while Jon Hutman is the production designer. Principal photography and production began on August 19, 2014, in Gozo, Malta, and ended on November 10, 2014.

Release
In May 2015, the film was slated for a November 13, 2015 release.

Marketing and promotion
Stills from the film were released on September 15, 2014. On August 6, 2015, a teaser trailer for the film was released.

Home media
By the Sea was released on DVD & Blu-ray in Australia and Germany on June 9, 2016, in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2016, and in Canada and the United States on July 5, 2016.

Reception

Box office
By the Sea opened theatrically in ten venues, earning $96,250, ranking number 38 in the domestic box office. As of December 10, the film has grossed $538,460 in the United States and Canada, and $2,796,467 overseas for a worldwide total of $3,334,927.

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 34%, based on 135 reviews, with an average rating of 4.8/10. The site's consensus reads, "By the Sea may intrigue celebrity voyeurs or fans of a certain type of arthouse cinema, but for most viewers, its beauty won't be enough to offset its narrative inertia." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 44 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Justin Chang, chief film critic for Variety said: "By the Sea always offers something to tickle the eye and ear, even as it leaves the heart and mind coolly unstirred."

title: John Fenton (priest)

text:
John Charles Fenton (5 June 1921 – 27 December 2008) was a British Church of England priest and New Testament scholar. He was Principal of Lichfield Theological College from 1958 to 1965, Principal of St Chad's College, Durham University from 1965 to 1978, and a Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, from 1978 to 1991.

Early life and education
Fenton was born on 5 June 1921 in Liverpool, England, to Cornelius O'Connor Fenton and his wife Agnes Claudina Fenton (née Ingoldby). His father was a vicar. He was educated at St Edward's School, then an all-boys private boarding school in Oxford.

In 1940, he matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford to study theology. He was taught by the college chaplain, V. K. Johnson, and the New Testament by R. H. Lightfoot. He had come to Oxford a staunch Anglo-Catholic, but had his horizons broadened and was strongly influenced by the theology of Søren Kierkegaard. He graduated from the University of Oxford with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1943: as per tradition, his BA was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA Oxon) degree in 1947. Then, from 1943 to 1944, he trained for Holy Orders at Lincoln Theological College, a Church of England theological college in the Central tradition.

Career
Fenton's ecclesiastical career was mainly focused on teaching and working within the Church of England's theological colleges. However, he also served in parish ministry, and wrote a substantial number of books for academic and general audiences.

Fenton was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1944 and as a priest in 1945. He served his curacy at All Saints Church, Hindley in the Diocese of Liverpool from 1944 to 1947. He then returned to Lincoln Theological College, where he had trained for ordination, having been appointed its chaplain in 1947 and promoted to sub-warden in 1951. At the college, he taught mainly on the New Testament. He returned to parish ministry, and was Vicar of Wentworth in the Diocese of Sheffield between 1954 and 1958.

In 1958, Fenton began his career as a senior member of the church hierarchy, having been appointed Principal of Lincoln Theological College. Lincoln was a community of both young more mature ordinands: in addition to teaching them the New Testament, he saw it as his duty to challenge their faith. In 1965, he left Lincoln for the last time having been appointed Principal of St Chad's College, Durham, which was both a theological college and a college of the university. During his time in charge of St Chad's, the college ceased its formal training of ordinands for the Church of England, and he led its integration into the wider university with students reading for all degrees offered by Durham University.

Fenton's final appointment was as a canon residentiary of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford in 1978: Christ Church Cathedral has a dual role as cathedral of the Diocese of Oxford and the college chapel of Christ Church, a college of the University of Oxford. As sub-dean, he was tasked with leading the daily cycle of worship at the cathedral and also its administration; the dean was then free to run the university college. In addition to his clergy role, he taught the New Testament to the university's students, taking "as many as 30 tutorials a week". Fenton retired from full-time ministry in 1991 and was made a student emeritus of Christ Church ("student" is the college's name for its fellows).

Views
Fenton's Christianity was originally a form of "extreme Anglo-Catholicism". This changed during his university studies where he was introduced to modern biblical criticism.

A scholar of the New Testament, he did not superscribe to Biblical literalism: "he understood the Gospels to consist largely of the teaching material of the earliest Christian communities, rather than historical or biographical fact". He believed that layers of later hands had to be stripped back from the Bible, and that the first-century context of Christ's teaching had to be recognised to truly understand them.

Personal life
In 1945, Fenton married Mary ( Ingoldby). Together they had four children: two boys and two girls. One of their sons is the poet James Fenton. Mary died in 1960. In 1963, he married Linda Brandham. Together they had three children: one daughter and two sons.
