title: Hudson Shakespeare Company

text:
The Hudson Shakespeare Company is a regional Shakespeare touring festival based in Jersey City in Hudson County, New Jersey, that produces an annual summer Shakespeare in the Park festival and often features lesser done Shakespeare works such as The Two Noble Kinsmen and Timon of Athens. The company also produces several modern-day productions in non theatrical venues such as their courtroom shows of Inherit the Wind and A Few Good Men in the Hoboken Municipal Courtroom. It produce a yearly educational program that ranges from student workshops to full length Shakespeare productions.

History
In 1992, Jersey City native L. Robert "Luther" Johnson decided to mount a staged reading of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in Hamilton Park in Jersey City. Having worked as a technical consultant for such companies as Riverside Shakespeare and New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players in New York, Johnson remarked "I noticed that when you were on one side of the Hudson you couldn't walk five feet without finding a company of actors doing Shakespeare, but on this side of the river there was nothing." He partnered with several theatrical friends who he had worked with previously in such community theaters as the Park Players of Union City and Civic Theater of Hudson County in Jersey City for this first production under the banner of "Hudson Shakespeare Company", named after Hudson County. While this first production featured "13 people on stage and 5 in the audience, he was undeterred and continued to produce Shakespeare under "Hudson Shakespeare Company" and modern works such as Driving Miss Daisy and Waiting for Godot under "Patchwork Theater Company".

In 1996, Johnson met fellow actor and director Jon Ciccarelli and the two reorganized all of the classical and modern productions under "Hudson Shakespeare Company". For the next few years, the company produced Shakespeare and modern programs in Jersey City and Hoboken and became the first theatrical company to produce a live theater showing at Hoboken's Frank Sinatra Park with another production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1998.

title: Diving at the 2014 Commonwealth Games – Women's synchronised 10 metre platform

text:
The women's synchronised 10 metre platform was part of the Diving at the 2014 Commonwealth Games program. The competition was held on 30 July 2014 at Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh.

Format
A single round was held, with each team making five dives.  Eleven judges scored each dive:  three for each diver, and five for synchronisation.  Only the middle score counted for each diver, with the middle three counting for synchronization. These five scores were averaged, multiplied by 3, and multiplied by the dive's degree of difficulty to give a total dive score.  The scores for each of the five dives were summed to give a final score.

Schedule
All times are British Summer Time (UTC+1).

title: John Andrew Stedman

text:
John Andrew Stedman (1778–1833) was  general in the Dutch army during the Napoleonic Wars.

Biography
Stedman was born at Zutphen in 1778, the son of William George Stedman (a naturalised Dutchman of Scottish descent), and a Dutch mother of noble blood.

Stedman received a commission in the Dutch army when only a child. At the early age of sixteen he first saw service with the allied forces, under Frederick, Duke of York and the Prince of Orange (afterwards King William I of the Netherlands) which were employed in 1794 on the northern frontier of France.

Stedman's next service was in 1799, when the Batavian Republic was in alliance with France, and the Duke of York commanded the opposing army at Bergen. At a later date he again served against the British at Walcheren. Meanwhile he had held important staff appointments, and, on the incorporation of the Netherlands with France, he became general of brigade in the French army. In this capacity he served for two years in Italy, and was in 1813 present at the battles of Bautzen and Dresden.

In 1814 he attached himself to the Prince of Orange (afterwards King William II of the Netherlands), and commanded the Dutch troops in the reserve during the Battle of Waterloo, with the rank of lieutenant-general. He died at Nijmegen in 1833.

Family
Stedman married Nicola Gertrude van de Poll, granddaughter of the last reigning burgomaster of Amsterdam. Their only son, Charles John William Stedman, became a Prussian subject, settling at Besselich Abbey, near Coblentz. He was a member of the national assemblies of Frankfurt am Main and Erfurt, and received the title of freiherr (baron). He had a large family, of which nearly all the sons entered the Queen Augusta Regiment of Guards; they reverted to the original family name of Barton.

title: Malcolm Brogdon

text:
Malcolm Moses Brogdon (born December 11, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Virginia Cavaliers under Tony Bennett. As a senior in 2015–16, he was a consensus first-team All-American. He was also named the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in conference history to earn both honors in the same season. He was selected in the second round of the 2016 NBA draft by the Bucks with the 36th overall pick. He went on to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, becoming the first second-round pick in the NBA to win the award since 1965. In 2019, Brogdon became the eighth player in NBA history to achieve a 50–40–90 season. In the 2019 off-season, he was traded to the Indiana Pacers before being traded to the Boston Celtics in 2022, where he won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2023.

College career

Brogdon, a top 100 recruit, committed to Virginia over offers from Arkansas, Georgia, and Notre Dame.

He redshirted his sophomore year after suffering a serious foot injury the prior season. He was known as one of the top contributors to the team's successful 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons. In the 2013–14 season, Brogdon averaged 12.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. In 2014–15, he was named as a consensus second-team All-American, as well as the first-team All-ACC and ACC Co-Defensive Player of the Year.

As a senior at Virginia in 2015–16, Brogdon was named to the 35-man midseason watchlist for the Naismith Trophy, and earned numerous prestigious awards, including ACC Player of the Year, ACC Defensive Player of the Year, first-team All-American, and a finalist for the Naismith Award. Brogdon graduated from Virginia with a bachelor's degree in history and a master's degree in public policy. His college jersey number, 15, was retired on February 20, 2017.

Professional career

Milwaukee Bucks (2016–2019)

2016–17 season: Rookie of the Year
On June 23, 2016, Brogdon was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 36th overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft. On July 30, 2016, he signed with the Bucks. He made his NBA debut in the Bucks' season opener on October 26, 2016, recording eight points and five assists in 21 minutes in a 107–96 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. On November 1, 2016, he recorded 14 points and four steals in a 117–113 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. On December 23, 2016, he made all seven of his shots for 17 points to go with seven assists in 29 minutes in a 123–96 win over the Washington Wizards. On December 31, 2016, he recorded his first career triple-double with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in a 116–96 win over the Chicago Bulls. On January 8, 2017, he scored a career-high 22 points in a 107–101 loss to the Washington Wizards. On January 23, 2017, he had his second game of the season with four steals in a 127–114 win over the Houston Rockets. Two days later, he was named in the U.S. Team for the 2017 Rising Stars Challenge. On March 29, 2017, he recorded 16 points and nine assists in a 103–100 win over the Boston Celtics. He had six key points and two assists in the final 2:46 to help Milwaukee fend off a late Boston rally. To conclude his rookie season, Brogdon was named the 2016–17 NBA Rookie of the Year, along with being a unanimous selection to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Brogdon joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1969–70) as the only players in Bucks history to win Rookie of the Year, and became the first player drafted in the second round to win Rookie of the Year since 1965. Brogdon averaged both the fewest points per game and fewest minutes per game of any winner in the award's history.

2017–18 season: Sophomore season
In the Bucks' season opener on October 18, 2017, Brogdon scored 19 points in a 108–100 win over the Boston Celtics. On November 3, 2017, he had a season-high 10 assists to go with 21 points against the Detroit Pistons. Four days later, he scored a season-high 22 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers. On January 22, 2018, he scored a career-high 32 points in a 109–105 win over the Phoenix Suns. It was the first 30-point game for a Virginia basketball alum since Mike Scott in 2014 with the Atlanta Hawks. On February 2, 2018, he was ruled out for six to eight weeks after suffering a partially torn left quadriceps tendon the previous night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. On April 9, 2018, he returned to action following a 30-game absence. He scored two points and played 13 minutes, all in the first half, in the Bucks' 102–86 win over the Orlando Magic.

2018–19 season: 50–40–90 season
On November 28, 2018, Brogdon scored 24 points in 29 minutes on 6-for-6 three-point field goal shooting in a 116–113 win against the Chicago Bulls. On February 27, 2019, Brogdon scored 25 points, including 9-for-11 from the field, in a 141–140 overtime win over the Sacramento Kings. Brogdon enjoyed the best shooting year of his career, and one of the most efficient in NBA history: he became just the eighth NBA player ever to achieve a 50–40–90 season. However, on March 16, he was ruled out indefinitely with a plantar fascia tear in his right foot. He returned to action late in the second round of the playoffs.

Indiana Pacers (2019–2022)
On June 29, 2019, the Bucks extended a qualifying offer to Brogdon in order to make him a restricted free agent. On July 6, 2019, Brogdon signed with the Indiana Pacers via a sign-and-trade with the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for future picks. Brogdon signed a contract with the Pacers for $85.0 million over four years (average of $21.25 million per year).

New to starting at the point guard position, Brogdon studied tape of former NBA All-Star Isiah Thomas in the off-season. Brogdon had a double-double in each of his first four games in a Pacers uniform. After his first week with the Pacers, he led the NBA in assists and become the first NBA player in history to tally at least 20 points and 10 assists in both of his first two games with a new team. On October 26, 2019, Brogdon had 30 points (on 12-for-18 shooting) and 10 assists in a 110–99 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. On June 24, 2020, Brogdon announced that he tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

On January 2, 2021, Brogdon scored 33 points with 7 assists in a 106–102 loss to the New York Knicks. On January 4, Brogdon put up 21 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, three steals, and one block, alongside a game-winning layup, in a 118–116 overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans. On January 6, Brogdon scored a career-high 35 points, along with seven assists in a 114–107 win over the Houston Rockets. On January 25, Brogdon surpassed his career high with 36 points in the Pacers' 129–114 win against the Toronto Raptors.

In his third season with the Pacers, Brogdon was asked to be more of a leader on and off the court. Brogdon missed 41 games from December through April with Achilles pain. Even with the significant time he missed, he led the team in scoring for the second straight year, while being second in assists per game.

Boston Celtics (2022–2023)
On July 9, 2022, Brogdon was traded to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Aaron Nesmith, Daniel Theis, Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts, Juwan Morgan, and a 2023 first-round draft pick. Brogdon had been given the choice to be traded to the Celtics or the Toronto Raptors. For the first time in his career, Brogdon chose to accept a bench role as the Celtics' sixth man. On October 18, Brogdon had 16 points off the bench in his debut for his new team in a 126–117 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. On January 14, 2023, Brogdon scored a season-high 30 points on 11-of-17 shooting from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range against the Charlotte Hornets. On April 20, he was named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year. During the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Miami Heat, Brogdon played through an arm injury that was later revealed to be a partial tear of a tendon in his right elbow.

On June 21, it was reported that Brogdon would be sent to the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team trade involving the Washington Wizards. However, reports later that day stated that the trade had fallen through, largely due to the Clippers raising concerns about Brogdon's injury status. In the following months, reports came out stating that Brogdon was unhappy with the Celtics due to his involvement in the failed trade. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla stated that the team was going through a "healing process" with Brogdon.

Portland Trail Blazers (2023–present)
On October 1, 2023, Brogdon, along with Robert Williams III and two future first-round draft picks, was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Jrue Holiday. On October 25, Brogdon made his Blazers debut, putting up 20 points in a 123–111 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

National team career
Brogdon represented the United States national team at the 2015 Pan American Games, where he won a bronze medal.

title: William Rickatson Dykes

text:
William Rickatson Dykes (4 November 1877 – 1 December 1925) was an English amateur botanist who became an expert in the field of iris breeding and wrote several influential books on the subject. He was also interested in tulips, amaryllis, and other plants.

Early life and education
William Rickatson Dykes was born on 4 November 1877 at Bayswater in London, the second son of Alfred Dykes. He was a clever student and a talented athlete
who attended City of London School and then Wadham College, Oxford. In 1900, he obtained an M.A. in classics. Later he received Licence-ès-lettres from the University of Paris (Sorbonne).

Between 1903 and 1919, Dykes was a schoolmaster at Charterhouse School in Godalming. He taught Greek and Latin and occasionally football.

Botanical work

While studying at Oxford, Dykes had met Sir Michael Foster, who instilled in him a passion for studying irises. After he moved to Godalming, he created a large garden to grow irises. When Foster died in 1907, Dykes received the loan of a large collection of Foster's notes for a comprehensive study of irises that he had been unable to complete before his death. Dykes took over this study and completed it, a process that formed the basis for his first book, Irises (1909), a volume in the series Present-Day Gardening. A smallish book, it focuses on the decorative uses of the iris as a garden plant but also contains plenty of scientific information.

By 1910, Dykes was being interviewed by Garden Life magazine as an expert amateur and recognised authority on iris cultivation. In his own garden, he had developed an extensive collection embracing most known species. He had several bulb frames.

In 1911, Dykes travelled to the South of France, in Hyères in Var, in search of irises that he had read about, where he discovered Iris spuria var. maritima. It was later published in his 1913 book The Genus Iris. During this period, he also worked with retired engineer and plant breeder Arthur J. Bliss (1862–1931) to breed several hybrids.

Dykes undertook a formal study of the iris genus at the botanical library at Kew Gardens Herbarium. He also examined hundreds of iris species specimens at other collections, including the British Museum, Oxford Botanical Garden, Cambridge Botanic Garden, Edinburgh Botanic Garden, Berlin Botanical Garden, Vienna Hofmuseum and Jardin des plantes. In 1913, he published his second book, The Genus Iris, in which he created the first classification of irises according to Linnaeus's botanical system. In 1924, he was awarded the Veitch Memorial Medal in recognition of the importance of this book in the field of horticulture. Although a landmark in its day, it is now considered out-of-date taxonomically. Iris classification was improved by George H.M. Lawrence (in 1953), then by Georgi Rodionenko (in 1961) and Brian Mathew (in 1981).

The Genus Iris had 48 full-color plates made from watercolors by F.H. Round and painted from plants in Dykes's own garden. Dykes knew Round because he was an assistant drawing master at Charterhouse. Round later commented that, during iris season, Dykes would show up "in his dressing gown" at 5 in the morning with an iris in hand, expecting the painting to be made immediately while the bloom was still fresh. He said that the drawings for Dykes "were easy and comfortable to do."

In April 1913, Dykes took a trip to Dalmatian coast, visiting Sarajevo, Clissa, Mostar and Bosnia. He walked and climbed to collect specimens of irises, which he had heard about from other collectors and sources.

In 1914, he published his third book on irises, Handbook of Garden Irises. It contains a large amount of information on iris species. That same year, he was interviewed by Country Life magazine on the subject of iris, discussing such species as  Iris xiphiodes (the English iris), Junos, and Iris reticulata.

In November 1919, he became a fellow of the Linnean Society of London. The following year, he was appointed to the Secretaryship of the Royal Horticultural Society, a position he devoted himself to until 1925. As a result of this appointment, it became necessary for him to leave Godalming and live nearer to London. He made arrangements for nearly all of his collection of irises to be moved to Percy Murrell's Nursery at Orpington in Kent. He retained only a few rhizomes each of some seedlings, planting them on a small plot of ground at the John Innes Research Station at Merton, Surrey. During this period, he raised several hybrid iris seedlings of which 'Amber' (pale yellow, 1924), 'Moonlight' (yellowish-white) and 'Wedgewood' (medium blue) are the best known. He also carried on correspondence with many botanists and gardeners, including the American Grace Sturtevant.

In 1924, Dykes married Elsie K. "Katherine" (née Kaye), who also made a name for herself as an iris hybridiser and painter. They had their own garden at Sutton Green near Guildford, where he planted over 30,000 tulip bulbs.

In 1925, Dykes translated from the French Louis Lorette's book on pruning fruit trees, La Taille Lorette.

That same year, Dykes was killed only a week after receiving the Victoria Medal of Honour from the RHS. On 27 November 1925, his car skidded on a slippery road and he crashed into a truck. The impact ejected him from his vehicle and he was so severely injured that he died a few days later on 1 December.

Posthumous honours
In June 1926, at a meeting of the British Iris Society, it was resolved to award a medal to the hybridiser of the outstanding iris variety of each year in memory of Mr. Dykes. The Dykes Medal was first presented in 1927 to William Mohr for his 'San Francisco' hybrid. Since then, it has become highly coveted by all iris hybridizers. The British Iris Society currently presents separate Dykes Medals in Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. It was previously awarded in France as well beginning in 1928, but it stopped in 1938 due to the outbreak of the Second World War and never started up afterwards.

Katherine Dykes carried on her husband's plant breeding work, and in 1926, she named a yellow iris (the first true yellow) 'W. R. Dykes' in his honour. It was sold by Orpington Nurseries and was used by other iris breeders to create new hybrids. In 1930, she produced the iris 'Gudrun' (a white), which went on to win the Dykes Medal in 1931. She died in Raynes Park on 25 May 1933 after a train accident.

In June 1926, Marion Cran wrote in the Dykes memorial issue of the Annual of the Iris Society, "He was to be seen at all the shows, the small fortnightly shows at Vincent Square and the great summer and autumn shows at Chelsea and Holland Park. His broad, burly frame moved in a leisurely way among the exhibits. He might be smiling just broadly like a merry schoolboy, or cross as Good Friday's bun just as the moment might take him; for he was a man of strong personality who made no attempt to disguise his emotions. Some have suggested he had Asperger syndrome.

Two posthumous publications by Dykes came out in 1930. Dykes's Notes on Tulip Species included fifty-four colour plates of paintings by Elsie Katherine Dykes and notes by Mr. Dykes.Dykes on Irises (edited by G. Dillistone) was a reprint of Dykes's contributions to various journals and periodicals during the last 20 years of his life.

In 1932, Otto Stapf from Kew Gardens found a hybrid between Iris chrysographes and Iris delavayi in Dykes's garden and named it Iris dykesii in his honour. The name did not stick as the iris was subsequently reclassified as a synonym of Iris chrysographes (Dykes), which Dykes had originally published in Gardeners Chronicles in 1911. In 1935, Alexei Vedenski named a tulip Tulipa dykesiana  in Flora of USSR; this too has since been reclassified, in this case as a synonym of Tulipa kolpakowskiana (Regel).

title: Foster Family Home

text:
The Foster Family Home is a historic farmstead on Sunday River Road in Newry, Maine.  The property includes a Greek Revival farmhouse, a barn and stable, and a cemetery in which many Fosters are interred.  These improvements are situated near the Sunday River Bridge, a covered bridge spanning the Sunday River, and were developed mainly in the 19th century on land that has been in the Foster family since the early 19th century.

The main house consists of two blocks, built by Joel Foster, the first Foster to settle the land.  Architectural evidence suggests that both were built in the 1850s, leaving open the question of where Foster's first house was located.  The main block is the more northerly of the two; it has a front-facing gable with full pediment, overhanging a two-story porch supported by distinctively cut sawn supports.  The southerly block, a two-story structure, has a side-gable configuration.  The main block has two wide bays, with the main house entrance in the left bay; the ell is four small bays wide, and has a secondary entrance. which is flanked by shorter sidelight windows than the main entrance, and is topped by a triangular shallow pedimented hood.  A -story gable-roof shed extends the house further to the south.

Across the street from the house stand the barn and stable, both built in the 1890s.  Both are single-story wood-frame structures with the gable end toward the street.  The barn stands south of the stable, and has a sliding door on the main facade, above which is a sash window and a round louvered vent.  The side elevation has an entrance door sheltered by a portico.  South of the house lies the family cemetery, a rectangular plot extending along the road.

The farm, including about  of fields and more than  of woodlands, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

title: Ekta Jeev Sadashiv

text:
Ekta Jeev Sadashiv is a 1972 Indian Marathi-language comedy drama film directed by Govind Kulkarni, starring Dada Kondke and Usha Chavan as leads. It was remade in Hindi as Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hain, which was released in 2000. The core plot of the 1974 Kannada movie Bangaarada Panjara was thematically similar to this movie since it was also based on the Marathi play Ekta Jeev Sadashiv.

Plot
Sadashiv, the infant son of a poor family, has an unspecified childhood illness. For reasons of health, Sadashiv's family sends him away from the city to live in a country village. There he is raised by a simple couple whom he regards as his parents. When he becomes a young man, he falls in love with a village girl. When the time comes for Sadashiv to marry, his parents inform him that his biological parents live in the city and want him to settle there. Sadashiv bids a tearful farewell to his village and its inhabitants. He travels to the city of his birth parents. The rest of the movie presents the young man's comic struggle to adjust to city life, its corruption, and its hypocrisy.

title: King's Bounty: Dark Side

text:
King's Bounty: Dark Side is a 2014 strategy video game developed for Microsoft Windows by 1C-Softclub and published by 1C Company. The game was released on August 14, 2014. It is a standalone installment in the King's Bounty series.

Gameplay
King's Bounty: Dark Side maintains many of the same game conventions used in previous installments. The game is a strategy based with RPG elements. Unlike previous games, the protagonists in the game belong to orcish, vampire, and demon races which are the antagonistic races in other installments. The game lets the player play as one of the characters from the three protagonists, the orc Bagyr, who is a warrior, the vampire Daert, who is a mage, and the demoness Neoline, who belongs to the paladin class. Players have access to an overworld map they can click on to move around. Sometimes they will stumble onto buried treasures, other times the loot will be out in the open. Players can find huts or villages where they can buy and sell items or units. The players can receive quests from various NPCs in the world and upon their completion they are rewarded either experience, loot or both. Also on these maps are enemy creatures. Most of the time when they see the character, they start to chase them down and if they come into contact with your character, a battle ensues. The character does not participate directly in the combat. Instead you have units of differing types that you can deploy. Almost all of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, special abilities and ranges of movement. Some characters rely on ranged attacks, others attempt to deal direct damage, some units have supportive capabilities and all of them are viable parts of the combat strategy for example imps can use fireballs and melee attacks. When a unit runs out of troops the unit is destroyed. If all the units are destroyed the game is lost. The more troops the character has, the higher the hit points and damage output of their army is. Players can use a magic spell or scrolls to cast magic on the field of battle. These can be attack or buffing spells. Each of the three characters also has an exclusive companion that uses the rage they build up in combat. There are oftentimes objects on the battlefield such as traps or treasure chests. Experience points from battles go towards leveling up, which increases core abilities like the attack-powering rage and the magic-powering mana. You also earn and collect might, mind, and magic runes that are used to purchase various arcane talents on extensive skill trees. As in earlier games in the series, the story plays out over a number of islands that you gradually explore and conquer for your faction.

Plot
All three protagonists have different backstories. After the orcs lost the battle at Tristerm, the Elves started plundering their villages, desecrating their shrines, and killing their people. Bagyr, a famous Orc warrior, was forced to flee along with a small group of elite Orc warriors in order to save themselves from the Elves. Human armies invaded Atrixus in which Neoline's father was killed which left her as the ruler of demons. Together with a small unit of demon survivors, she fought the human warriors and fled through a catacomb into Draganador, the land of the dwarves. While the castle of the Morton vampire clan is being besieged by vampire hunters, the young vampire mage Daert leaves his home to seek allies among other dark races that are on the verge of extinction. The three of them meet at an inn in Draganador, but when they do a blood oath of friendship the innkeeper mistakes it for dark wizardry and the dwarves attack them, thus violating their years-long neutrality. The protagonists flee through the Black Gate into the Shelter and free the Spirit of Darkness, thus starting their quest to defeat the Spirit of Light.

Development
In April 2014, 1C Company announced the game and its details. The game was scheduled to release in the summer of 2014. The game was released on Steam Early Access on May 16, 2014 and the release version was announced to be released online and in retail. The game was delayed and the publishers announced that the game would be available on August 14, 2014 and a gameplay trailer was released. A Premium Edition of the game was announced that included more quests and locations along with a bonus amulet that increased leveling speed. Those who entered the Early Access of the game automatically received the premium edition. The retail box of the premium edition was published by Excalibur Publishing in United Kingdom, Scandinavian countries, Australasia and South Africa.

Reception

The game holds a score of 73/100 based on 13 reviews on Metacritic and an aggregate of 71% on GameRankings based on 5 reviews. It was given a score of 8/10 by Brett Todd of GameSpot praising the game for its gameplay and soundtrack. Eike Cramer of 4players gave it a score of 77/100 praising it for allowing players to play as the usually antagonistic races from the series. Rüdiger Steidle of GameStar gave it a review score of 68/100 and criticised it for offering nothing fresh when compared to the previous games of the series. Claudio Chianese gave it a review score of 7.1/10 saying the game was made for both the old fans of the series and new players of the series.

title: GHash.io

text:
GHash.io was a bitcoin mining pool subsidiary of CEX.io that operated from 2013-2016. The pool gained notoriety for briefly controlling more than 51% of bitcoin's computing power in 2014 (notable in that bitcoin was supposedly outside any party's control).

History
GHash.io was founded and owned by CEX.io, a cryptocurrency exchange that continues to operate today. Apart from mining bitcoin, GHash.io hosted a multipool for mining altcoins, as well as separate pools for mining Litecoin, Dogecoin, Auroracoin, and Darkcoin. Altcoin mining options were available for independent miners, while bitcoin mining could also be done in the cloud by purchasing cloud-based mining power on CEX.io.

Traders on CEX.io could buy shares of GHash.io mining hardware to operate on the GHash.io mining pool. After GHash.io closed in 2016, CEX.io continued operating as a bitcoin exchange.

51% attack controversy
The possibility of a 51% attack was feared due to the popularity of GHash.io's mining pool. This kind of attack occurs when a single miner or mining pool is able to mine multiple bitcoin block rewards in a row. This would be a problem for the bitcoin network, because it hypothetically allows the mining pool to double-spend (counterfeit) bitcoins. In July 2014, the GHash.io mining pool briefly exceeded the 51% threshold, which forced the bitcoin community to discuss the possibility of finding a common solution to this threat. The pool developing the majority caused a prominent bitcoin developer Peter Todd to sell half of his holdings. The news reportedly caused bitcoin's price to drop from $633 to $600 at the time.

Since no long-term solution to the 51% problem is known, the participants agreed to implement some temporary measures. GHash.io released a voluntary statement promising that it would not exceed 40% of the overall bitcoin hashrate. Moreover, GHash.io representatives asked other mining pools to follow their example for the sake of the entire bitcoin community. It also stated that a new committee should be created to act as a watchdog against the 51% problem. This committee would include representatives of the mining pools, bitcoin businesses and other specialists in the field.

The 51% discussion received broad coverage in the media, beyond publications which commonly focus on cryptocurrency news: ArsTechnica, Bloomberg View, Vice Motherboard, International Business Times.

In March 2015, GHash.io was struck by a crippling DDOS attack, possibly in response to the group breaching 51%. By the end of 2015, GHash.io had stopped its mining activity in response to falling bitcoin prices.

title: Dreaming of Home and Mother

text:
Dreaming of Home and Mother is a 1868 song by American medical doctor and composer John P. Ordway. It is most popular in Japan and China, as its words were translated into Japanese as Ryoshū and into Chinese as Songbie, respectively.

History
The song is a nineteenth century work Dreaming of Home and Mother by John P. Ordway. On March 11, 1916, tenor Evan Williams recorded the English version for Victor Talking Machine Company in Camden, NJ.
The English lyrics of "Dreaming of Home and Mother" had only one stanza, and so it was in early recordings. The 1935 recording published by EMI, with singer Evan Williams included the second stanza, which may have been added by an unknown person. There is also a version that includes the third stanza.

Lyrics
The lyrics of all three stanzas are shown below:
Dreaming of home, dear old home.
Home of childhood and mother-
Oft when I wake 'tis sweet to find
I've been dreaming of home and mother.
Home, dear home, childhood's happy home!
When I played with sister and with brother
'Twas the sweetest joy when we did roam
Over hill and through dale with mother.
Chorus.
Dreaming of home, dear old home,
Home of my childhood and mother-
Oft When I wake 'tis sweet to find
I've been dreaming of home and mother.

Sleep, balmy sleep, close mine eyes,
Keep me still thinking of mother-
Hark! It's her voice I seem to hear-
Yes, I'm dreaming of home and mother.
Angels come soothing me to rest,
I can feel their presence as none other,
For they sweetly say I shall be blest
With bright visions of home and mother.
Chorus.

Childhood has come, come again,
Sleeping, I see my dear mother ---
See her loved form beside me kneel
While I'm dreaming of home and mother.
Mother dear, whisper to me now,
Tell me of my sister and brother, ---
Now I feel thy hand upon my brow ---
Yes, I'm dreaminf of home and mother.
Chorus.

Ryoshū in Japanese

The Japanese lyrics of Dreaming of Home and Mother were written as Ryoshū (旅愁, meaning "Yearning (for home) in travelling") by school music teacher and lyricist Kyūkei Indō (犬童球渓), who also wrote the Japanese lyrics of William Shakespeare Hays's "My Dear Old Sunny Home" as Kokyō no Haika (故郷の廃家).

Included in the Shōka in 1907 for the first time, Ryoshū has since been very popular in Japan. It was selected as one of the 100 Best Known Japanese Songs in 2007.

Songbie in Chinese
The lyrics of Songbie (Chinese 送别, "Farewell Song"), were written by Chinese artist Hong Yi (Li Shutong) to the melody of the mid-19th century song "Dreaming of Home and Mother" by American composer John P. Ordway.  Li was introduced to this song while studying in Japan, in the form of a Japanese song that was also set to this tune.

Chinese lyrics
The lyrics in Chinese of Songbie are as follow:

長亭外，古道邊，芳草碧連天，
Chángtíng wài, gǔdào biān, fāngcǎo bì lián tiān.
Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient route, fragrant green grass joins the sky,
晚風拂柳笛聲殘，夕陽山外山。
Wǎnfēng fú liǔ díshēng cán, xìyáng shān wài shān.
The evening wind caressing willow trees, the sound of the flute piercing the heart, sunset over mountains beyond mountains.
天之涯，地之角，知交半零落，
Tiān zhī yá, dì zhī jiǎo, zhījiāo bàn língluò.
At the brink of the sky, at the corners of the earth, my familiar friends wander in loneliness and far from home,
一瓢濁酒盡餘歡，今宵别夢寒。
Yī hú zhuójiǔ jìn yú huān, jīn xiāo bié mèng hán.
One more ladle of wine to conclude the little happiness that remains; tonight my dreams of parting leave me cold.

長亭外，古道邊，芳草碧連天，
Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient route, fragrant green grass joins the sky,
問君此去幾時来？来時莫徘徊。
Wèn jūn cǐ qù jǐ shí lái? Lái shí mò páihuái.
I ask of you, as you go this time, when are you to return? When it's time to come please don't hesitate.
天之涯，地之角，知交半零落，
At the brink of the sky, at the corners of the earth, familiar friends wander in loneliness and far from home,
人生難得是歡聚，唯有别離多。
Rénshēng  nán dé shì huānjù, wéi yǒu biélí duō.
In life it is happy reunions that are rare; most often we bid farewell.

天之涯，地之角，知交半零落，
At the brink of the sky, at the corners of the earth, familiar friends wander in loneliness and far from home,
人生難得是歡聚，唯有别離多。
In life it is happy reunions that are rare; most often we bid farewell.

In popular culture
In July 2018, SNH48 Group issued a covered version of "Songbie", which was entitled "砥砺前行". The lyrics were re-written by SNH48 ex-member Wu Yanwen, despite her announcement of departure in January 2018.

The melody of the Songbie song was played at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics' closing ceremony as a farewell song.

title: Anastas Konstantinov

text:
Anastas Konstantinov (Bulgarian: Анастас Константинов) (March 29,1956 - June 01, 2017) is a well known artist who was celebrated for his mystic expressionism, although his work is diverse.

Konstantinov finished his preliminary art training at the Secondary Art School in Kazanlak, Bulgaria in 1976 and continued his training at the Veliko Tarnovo University until he graduated in 1982 with a master's degree in fine arts. . While he was there, Anastas' paintings got near neo-expressionism and became conflict-driven due to his disgust with the Bulgarian Communist Party and communism as a whole. One critic from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette remarked that those paintings were "violent, nihilistic, ominous, even grotesque." In 1986, one of Konstantinov's exhibitions was shut down by the Bulgarian Communist Party for displaying subversive paintings. He continued to fight communism and to portray the dark reality of the time. Despite threats from the authorities, he responded to his exhibition being shut down by painting the series, "The Red Pigs," which was laden with even greater themes of discontent. Prof. Dr. Hans Theodor Flemming asserted at an exhibition of Contemporary Bulgarian Art in Hamburg at that time that Anastas' paintings were "apocalyptic" and that they took place "in surreal areas, in which people and animals appear in sinister alienation and decay, thus setting various iconographic riddles."

After the end of the Cold War, Konstantinov's paintings became less conflict-driven and began to focus more on the spiritual. As the art critic Bisera Yosifova reported for a Plovdiv newspaper Plovdivski novini, "the angry young man from the eighties has revealed for the first time the sacral spaces of the love mystery. He has realized that a lie cannot be deadened with violence, but only with love." Due to the sale of some large paintings, Anastas was able to begin the construction of his project "Gallery Anastas" in an old part of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Archeologists supervised the construction in order to preserve the Neolithic, Thracian, Roman, and Medieval remnants of the location. The gallery, called Gallery Anastas, opened in 1999 alongside 90 completed works.

In 2011, Michelangelo Celli, an American art collector, visited Anastas' personal gallery in Bulgaria and was "blown away" and "deeply moved" by his work. Mr. Celli urged Anastas to travel to the United States to paint and gain publicity. He agreed and stayed with Mr. Celli in Pittsburgh for three months. His visit resulted in the creation of the US Project, an initiative which is "committed to promoting awareness for the work of Bulgarian artist Anastas Konstantinov in the United States."

In 2013, as part of the US Project, Anastas Konstantinov was selected by the Starry Night Exposure Program to participate in art fairs during 2013 Art Basel and 2014 Frieze New York. In 2013, Christian Noorbergen included Anastas in his Carte Blanche Exhibition at the Galerie Schwab in Beaubourg, France.

One unintended result of the US Project was that Anastas' artistic reputation in Bulgaria grew. He was asked to appear on Darik Radio Radio Bulgaria and numerous other media sources reported on his whereabouts. As a result of Anastas' 33 years of professional work he was asked to present over eighty of his paintings and sculptures in Plovdiv, Bulgaria at the City Gallery of Fine Arts in July 2014. This exhibition marked the first time in 25 years the artist presented at a major solo exhibition in Plovdiv.

title: She Moves (Far Away)

text:
"She Moves (Far Away)" is the 2014 debut single by German DJ and producer Alle Farben from his debut album Synesthesia - I Think in Colours and features the vocals of Graham Candy. It was released  on Sony Music. The song was co-written by Frans Zimmer (real name of Alle Farben), Graham Candy, Jan Hammele and Andreas Huber.

Music video

Two different music videos have been released for the song.

The first one, released on 8 April 2014 and dubbed "Street Video", includes footage of thousands of people attending a DJ event featuring Alle Farben (Frans Zimmer) on the tarmac of the phased out Berlin Tempelhof Airport, dancing to his tunes while flashes of colour are splashed all across the screen, a tribute to his name meaning "all colours" and as a reference to the debut Synesthesia album (full title Synesthesia - I Think in Colours).

The official video, directed by Franck Trebillac, depicts Graham Candy travelling on a bike to reach his lover, who is dancing at an Indian party. On his way he passes through different lands and climates and cycles past Alle Farben, disguised each time as someone different (a peasant, a skier or a runner). At the end of the video Candy eventually reaches the girl in an Indian-like land and dances with her.

Charts
The single has charted in a number of European charts including a top 10 showing on the German Singles Chart.
