Career

Early career
Having been on the books of Hemel Hempstead Town as a youth player, Calcutt began his senior career with Berkhamsted, where he quickly gained a reputation as an exciting prospect, producing a 2013-14 tally of 41 goals from 52 appearances in all competitions. In the second half of that season, he joined St. Albans City as a dual-registration player, but only turned out for the side on one occasion. Towards the end of the season, he had a trial with Millwall.

Stevenage
Calcutt joined League Two club Stevenage on trial terms ahead of the 2014–15 season before signing a professional contract with Stevenage on 9 August, making his Football League debut that same day as a late substitute at home to Hartlepool United. Stevenage won the game 1–0. Calcutt's first professional goal came in only his second League appearance away at Plymouth Argyle in a 1–1 draw, where he came on at half time for the injured Darius Charles. Calcutt moved on a month's loan to Conference South side Wealdstone on 24 October 2014. He scored a brace on his debut for Wealdstone the following day in a 6–0 Middlesex Senior Cup win over Hampton & Richmond Borough. However, the striker suffered a leg break in their 2–0 win at Chelmsford City on 18 November 2014, ruling him out for what was initially estimated to be three months, but later thought to be eight to ten months. He was released by Stevenage at the end of the season.

In the summer of 2015, Calcutt returned to Wealdstone on a permanent basis. In October 2015 he signed on dual-registration at Southern Football League side Dunstable Town.

During his time with Hastings he was part of the side that reached the third round of the FA Cup, eventually losing 4–1 away to Middlesbrough, where he scored a long-distance goal.

He was immediately loaned out to Conference South side Bromley on a season-long loan, re-uniting with his father.

He finished the campaign with the Conference South golden boot award having scored 23 goals in 42 league appearances, and was also named the Conference South Player of the Year.

In May 2014 upon his return to Dagenham, Goldberg signed a new one-year contract with the club having fended off interest from other clubs. In August 2014, he made his professional and Daggers debut in a 3–0 home defeat to Morecambe, replacing Ashley Hemmings as a second-half substitute. However, he struggled to establish himself in the first team and in November 2014 he joined Conference Premier side Bristol Rovers on a one-month loan deal. He made his debut in the 2–2 draw with Chester, replacing Nathan Blissett as a late substitute. In December 2014, his loan was extended for a further month, having made four appearances. He returned to Dagenham in January 2015 having made seven appearances for the club. He immediately re-joined Conference South side Bromley on loan until the end of season. In May 2015, Goldberg was released by Dagenham after two seasons due to the expiry of his contract, he made a total of seven appearances for the club.

At the end of the 2016–17 season, Goldberg left Bromley.

Gregg Sulkin was later cast as the film's Jay Gatsby character Dylan and Nicola Peltz was cast as Rosenfield's cousin, completing the main cast.

Release
The film premiered at the SVA Theater in New York City on July 9, 2014, and was released in the United States on July 11, 2014 in a limited release and through video on demand.

Reception
Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 23% of thirteen surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 3.5/10.  Metacritic rated it 30 out of 100 based on twelve reviews. Andrew Barker of Variety described it as "an empty recasting of The Great Gatsby among Long Island rich kids." Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film "attempts to tackle weighty themes but ultimately feels as shallow as the lives of most of its principal characters." Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times called it a "millennial-chiding takeoff on The Great Gatsby" whose "vapid moralizing owes more to Bret Easton Ellis than to F. Scott Fitzgerald."

title: Kanō Hideyori

text:
Kanō Hideyori (狩野秀頼) was a Japanese painter of the Kanō school in Kyoto. His date of birth and death are unknown, however he was active in the mid-16th century, the beginning of the Momoyama period (1573–1603). Not much is known about him, but he was probably either the son or grandson of Kano Motonobu.

His style has been described as "adopting the superficial qualities of yamato-e, being in spirit thoroughly Chinese". This being said, he painted Maple Viewers either a pioneering work that predated ukiyo-e, or one of the earliest examples of the movement.

title: Bréguet 20 Leviathan

text:
The Bréguet Leviathan was a family of large all-metal biplane aircraft built in France in the early 1920s. The Bréguet XX and XXI were notable for being powered by Bréguet-Bugatti multiple engines, in two forms. The Bréguet XXI was powered by individual Bréguet-Bugatti U.16 engines initially and Lorraine-Dietrich 8b engines in tandem later. The Bréguet XXII had accommodation for about twenty passengers and was destroyed during a 1923 transport aircraft competition. Development of all three aircraft types was halted largely due to technical issues with power-plants and aircraft structure.

Development and design

Bréguet XX and Bréguet XXI

In 1922 Bréguet Aviation flew both their all-metal Bréguet 19, a bomber/reconnaissance aircraft and the Bréguet XX. The latter was another all-metal biplane but much larger and powered by a Bréguet-Bugatti 32A Quadimoteur Type A, (two Bréguet-Bugatti U.24 engines mounted in tandem on a cradle, driving a single output shaft), with a single output shaft, for the first time on 20 June 1922. The engine assembly was placed in the forward fuselage and drove the nose-mounted single propeller via a shaft running through the forward engine half's cylinder banks from the combining gearbox between the two engine halves.

A bomber variant, the Bréguet XXI, was also built with limited success; the partially built fuselage was displayed at the 1921 Paris Aero Salon, clearly showing the installation of the Bréguet-Bugatti 32A Quadimoteur Type A engine. The Bréguet XXI was later fitted with a Bréguet-Bugatti 32B Quadimoteur Type B, which grouped four 8-cylinder banks around a combining gearbox in an 'H' configuration.

Bréguet XXII
Unlike the very successful Bréguet 19, the Bréguet 20 and 21 proved unsatisfactory and were developed into the otherwise very similar Bréguet 22, which had a pair of Breguet-Bugatti U.16s mounted between the wings on either side. Since the double engines could continue to run with one half shut down; the Bréguet XX and XXI and XXII were sometimes referred to as four-engined aircraft (e.g.L'Aerophile). Moving the engines from the fuselage to the wings freed the fuselage for a passenger cabin which could hold 22, a large number in those days. The Type XX, Type XXI and Type XXII were all referred to as Bréguet Leviathan by contemporaries.

The fuselages of the Type XX, Type XXI and Type XXII were similar flat-sided structures based on four cross-braced longerons, each of three parts. Since the nose of the XXII did not terminate in a propeller, the high cockpit of the XX was replaced with a blunt-nosed cabin, curved in planform, for the pilot.  Behind him the passenger seats in the Type 22 were in pairs, each with their own window. Boarding and disembarking were reported as a little difficult. The wing-mounted engines led to revised wing plans and structures. The Bréguet 22 had equal-span, unstaggered wings of rectangular plan and three bays.  The innermost bay was defined by the engine by the engine mountings, which placed the U.16s with their four-blade tractor propellers on multiple struts midway between the two wings. Radiators were mounted on the sides of the engine cowling.  The outer bays were formed by single interplane struts with forked junctions into the wings, assisted by cross-bracing.  At the rear the tail was, like that of the Type 20, quite small and conventional with the tailplane mounted on top of the fuselage but now carrying a pair of small additional fins.  The landing gear was also conventional, with each fixed mainwheel mounted on a pair of substantial V-form legs from the wing spars under the inner bay. The Bréguet-Bugatti engines soon proved unreliable and by early 1923 the Type 22 was described as powered by four  Lorraine-Dietrich 8Bd water-cooled mounted in tractor/pusher pairs.

The sole Type 22 was destroyed in a fire following a forced landing in mid-September 1923 whilst competing for the Grand Prix pour Avions de Transport.

Variants

Bréguet XX Leviathan (Bréguet 20 Leviathan) A large all-Duralumin biplane airliner powered by  a Bréguet-Bugatti 32A Quadimoteur Type A multi-engine, mounted inside the forward fuselage.
Bréguet XXI Leviathan (Bréguet 21 Leviathan) A bomber version of the Bréguet XX / XXII, powered initially by a Quadimoteur Type A multi-engine, but later fitted with a Bréguet-Bugatti 32B Quadimoteur Type B multi-engine, both mounted inside the forward fuselage.
Bréguet XXII Leviathan (Bréguet 22 Leviathan) A development of the Bréguet XX powered initially by two individual Bréguet-Bugatti U.16 engines mounted conventionally between the wings and later by four Lorraine-Dietrich 8B V-8 engines mounted in tandem between the wings.

title: The Rational Optimist

text:
The Rational Optimist is a 2010 popular science book by Matt Ridley, author of The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature. The book primarily focuses on the benefits of the innate human tendency to trade goods and services. Ridley argues that this trait, together with the specialization linked to it, is the source of modern human civilization, and that, as people increasingly specialize in their skill sets, we will have increased trade and more prosperity.

Reception
Bill Gates praised the book for its key ideas on the importance of trade and the excessive pessimism prevalent in our society. Gates challenged the book's stance against international aid, raised questions about the author's expertise in discussing climate change, and suggested that it downplays the potential for global catastrophic risks. Ricardo Salinas Pliego praised the book as a defence of free trade and globalisation. Michael Shermer gave the book positive reviews in Nature and Scientific American before going on to present similar ideas in conference talks, and writing The Moral Arc partly in response. David Papineau praised the book for refuting "doomsayers who insist that everything is going from bad to worse".

George Monbiot criticised the book in his Guardian column. Critics of the book say it fails to address wealth inequality, and other criticisms of globalization.

title: Rod Salka

text:
Rod Salka (born February 28, 1983) is an American professional boxer and politician.

Background
Born and raised in Bunola, Pennsylvania, Salka served ten years as part of the United States National Guard, joining in 2001. In 2016, he ran as a Republican in the 38th House District of Pennsylvania.

Professional career

Salka vs. García
Salka is most notable for facing light welterweight world champion Danny García on August 9, 2014, a fight in which Salka was brutally knocked out in two rounds. Before and after the event, the fight was heavily criticized by boxing observers as a mismatch.

Salka vs. Vargas
On April 12, 2018, Salka faced former super featherweight world champion Francisco Vargas. During the fight, Salka created controversy by wearing trunks featuring a red, white and blue brick wall pattern and the phrase "America 1st", a reference to Donald Trump's proposed border wall and slogan and policy. Salka would go on to retire on his stool at the end of round six, after being knockdown down by a Vargas combination which left him cut over his left eye.

title: David Friesenhausen

text:
David ben Meir Cohen Friesenhausen (1756–1828) was a German-Hungarian astronomer, maskil, mathematician, and rabbi. Friesenhausen was one of the first proponents of Torah im Derech Eretz, a philosophy of Orthodox Judaism that formalizes a relationship between traditionally observant Judaism and the modern world. He proposed a dual curriculum of Jewish and secular studies for all rabbinic candidates, a radically innovative idea at that time. Friesenhausen wrote Mosedot Tebel and Kelil Heshbon. In the former, Friesenhausen writes in support of the Copernican heliocentrism, one of the first Jews to do so.

Early life
In 1756, David Friesenhausen was born in Friesenhausen, a small community in southern Germany,  northeast of Frankfurt.  In 1783, Friesenhausen married, but was divorced four years later. For the first 30 years of his life, Friesenhausen dedicated himself exclusively Torah study. His teachers included Joseph Steinhardt at Fürth and Moses Sofer of Pressburg. The latter attested that Friesenhausen was one of the outstanding students in his yeshiva.  In 1786, Friesenhausen began immersing himself in various secular subjects, including math, astronomy, and philosophy.

Berlin
In 1788, Friesenhausen moved to Berlin where he lived for the next eight years and was supported by Benjamin Halberstat. Berlin at that time was the center of the haskala movement (Jewish Enlightenment). Despite his involvement in secular subjects, Friesenhausen continued to study Torah intensively.  In 1796, Friesenhausen published his first book, Kelil Heshbon a Hebrew language manual on algebra and trigonometry. Thereafter, Friesenhausen left Berlin to travel throughout Europe for the dual purpose of selling  his newly published book and to attain advance subscriptions for planned book, Mosodot Tevel.

Huncovce
Around 1800, Friesenhausen moved to Huncovce (then Hungary, now Slovakia) in the Carpathian Mountains. He was appointed dayyan (judge) and also worked as a merchant. According to Meir Gilon in R. David Friesenhausen: Between the Poles of Haskalah and Hasidut, Friesenhausen moved from Berlin to its polar opposite Huncovce because he grew disenchanted with the haskala movement in Berlin who in general rejected the divine authorship of the Torah and belief in God.  Friesenhausen married again in Huncovce.

In 1806, having become unhappy with the isolation of Huncovce, Friesenhausen moved to Pest. In Pest, Friesenhausen began to advocate for government oversighted rabbinical seminaries  in Hungary, Galicia, and the Czech lands. Under Friesenhausen's proposal only graduates of these seminaries would be appointed to the rabbinate. The seminaries would mandate a curriculum of primarily Talmud, but also of Bible, humanities, and sciences, and gym.  Friesenhausen was the first to make such a proposal and submitted  his plan to the Archduke Joseph, Palatine of Hungary. On 26 July 1806 Friesenhausen met with Archduke Joseph, who promised to bring the matter to his brother Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor. The Hungarian rabbinate were unhappy with Friesenhausen's unilateral activities. They accused of him being a dangerous reformer and of undermining their position.  Friesenhausen was unable to attain a rabbinic position in Pest so he moved back to Huncovce.

In 1813, after some deliberation, the government declined the proposal. The stated reasons were that: (1) The Jews did not have enough funds for the schools especially since the tolerance tax was increased; (2) the policy of the government was to assimilate the Jews; and (3) Jews were able to attend Christian schools.

Sátoraljaújhely
Friesenhausen had difficulties making a reasonable income in Huncovce. In 1808, Friesenhausen moved to Sátoraljaújhely (Ujhely), Hungary, where he served as dayyan in the rabbinic court of Moses Teitelbaum. Friesenhausen was unhappy in Sátoraljaújhely, mainly due to his dislike of Moses Teitelbaum.

Friesenhausen wrote  Mosedot Tebel, a treatise on astronomy, in which he explains the Copernican heliocentrism.  Mosedot Tebel also contains a proof for the eleventh axiom of Euclid, and a 74-page ethical Will & Testament to his children.  In 1816, Friesenhausen left Sátoraljaújhely in order to secure financing for the publication of his book, eventually getting it published in Vienna in 1820.

Later life
After publishing Mosedot Tebel, Friesenhausen retired and spent his remaining years in Alba Iulia with his son Meir, a physician. David died on 23 March 1828.

Patrick McGrath admitted in 1992 that this running story was created to make live his daughter-like character.

The character

Sierra was first introduced in Spider as "a raw diamond" who lived the calm city of Beignet as a server in a restaurant. It appears quickly that her beauty, through "the reddening color" of her hair and the "intensity of her blue eyes", and her interpersonal skills hide mysteries which are revealed as one goes along the novels. The character becomes major in Martha Peake: A novel of the Revolution where her secrets are revealed.

Life Story

The story of Sierra is that of fairy tale transposed into the real world. She meets a Frenchman who makes her know the passionate and genuine love they share in spite of the distance which separates them and Geo Adolpho, the antagonist character, who tried to interfere in their relationship. In Asylum, their marriage succeeds with the birth of two children supporting the fairy tale approach of their story and qualifying the darkness of Patrick McGrath's papers.

The Company E of the 167th Infantry of the Alabama National Guard Armory is a historic building in Guntersville, Alabama.  The armory was built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration.  It was one of 36 buildings constructed by the WPA for the Alabama National Guard, however its hilltop location, rough limestone block construction, and two towers flanking the main entry  give it a castellated style, rather than the Streamline Moderne style of the other state armories.  In 1978, the company was dissolved, and the armory was used as a fire station until 1998.

In 2006 it was renovated into the Guntersville Museum, and sits as the centerpiece of a public park, which includes a library and community theater.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

title: Charles Rosen (painter)

text:
Charles Rosen (28 April 1878 – 21 June 1950) was an American painter who lived for many years in Woodstock, New York.
In the 1910s he was acclaimed for his Impressionist winter landscapes.
He became dissatisfied with this style and around 1920 he changed to a radically different cubist-realist (Precisionism) style.
He became recognized as one of the leaders of the Woodstock artists colony.

Early years
Charles Rosen was born on a farm in Reagantown, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania on 28 April 1878.
When he was sixteen he opened a photographic studio in West Newton, Pennsylvania in the coal mining region in the west of the state.
Most of his photographs were of deceased miners. Rosen then worked for a photography business in Salem, Ohio, and in 1898 moved to New York City.
He planned to become a newspaper illustrator.
He studied painting at the National Academy of Design under Francis Coates Jones.
He also took classes at the New York School of Art under William Merritt Chase and Frank DuMond.
He became interested in landscape painting in 1902 at DuMond's outdoor classes in Old Lyme, Connecticut.

Impressionist

In 1903 Rosen married Mildred Holden. They moved to the vicinity of New Hope, Pennsylvania, which became their home for seventeen years.
Rosen became known for his large snow scenes.
His early work was often compared to Edward Willis Redfield, the leader of the group of impressionist artists at New Hope.
He was also a friend of the artists Daniel Garber, William Langson Lathrop and John Fulton Folinsbee.

Rosen's landscapes were extremely varied. Sometimes they were spontaneous, thrown off quickly, and sometimes carefully worked.
Some paintings were full of movement and others were serenely calm.
Some are almost monochrome while some explode with color.
In 1914 Rosen made the first of several visits to Vinalhaven Island on the coast of Maine.
The rugged landscape was the subject of several paintings. His work became increasingly decorative.

In 1916 the National Academy awarded Rosen the Inness Gold Medal and the Altman Prize.
He was given seven one-man shows and was elected to the National Academy.
In 1916 Rosen and six other artists formed The New Hope Group to arrange for exhibitions of their work.
The others in this group were Rae Sloan Bredin, Morgan Colt, Daniel Garber, William Langson Lathrop and Robert Spencer.

Modernist

Rosen was starting to feel that Impressionism belonged to the past, and from 1916 began to experiment with other styles.
He taught at the Art Students League of New York summer school in Woodstock, New York in 1918.
He was an instructor and then director of the summer school until 1921.
One of Rosen's students there was the Canadian André Charles Biéler.
In 1920 Rosen moved permanently to Woodstock with his wife and their two daughters.
He became a close friend of the painters George Bellows and Eugene Speicher.
By 1920 Rosen had adopted a cubist-realist style (later identified as Precisionism) that characterized his work for the remainder of his life.

In 1922 Rosen, Henry Lee McFee and Andrew Dasburg founded the Woodstock School of Painting.
Rosen taught at the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts in Columbus, Ohio from 1924 to 1928.
During the Great Depression the government commissioned Rosen to paint a series of murals in post offices.
His murals in Beacon, New York and Poughkeepsie, New York included panoramas of the Hudson Valley and New York City, and historical scenes.
The last was undertaken in 1939.
He also executed work in Palm Beach, Florida, under this program.
His modernist but realistic depictions of buildings, towers and smokestacks reflect the influence of Paul Cézanne.

In 1940 Rosen was appointed temporary director of the Witte Museum School of Art in San Antonio, Texas.
Rosen suffered a heart attack in 1942. After this he focused on small pastels and drawings.
He died on 21 June 1950 in Kingston, New York at the age of seventy two.

Work

Rosen's impressionist winter landscapes of Pennsylvania and the coast of Maine, with forceful designs and bold, deeply layered brushwork, are thought by some to be his best work.
His impressionist works were praised for their "virility, sincerity and power".
Some of his simple but elegant compositions recall the style of Japanese prints.
They were very well received at the time. Despite this, he turned to a cubist-realist style after moving to Woodstock.
According to John Folinsbee, "Rosen was considering form in relation to warm and cool colors, lost and found edges, all of which contributed to intensify the illusion of space on flat canvas. Abstraction had gained for him a new importance."
some critics consider his scenes of the towns of Rondout and Saugerties on the Hudson River to be his best work.
However, another critic says that Rosen's bleak views of shabby buildings were hard to distinguish from the work of Bellows and Speicher.

The James A. Michener Art Museum in New Hope has a collection of Rosen's paintings. Brian H. Peterson, Senior Curator  of this museum, wrote a book on the artist entitled Form Radiating Life: the Paintings of Charles Rosen (2006).
The book was issued to coincide with an exhibition with the same title of more than fifty works organized by the James A. Michener Art Museum and shown at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at the State University of New York at New Paltz.
His work is held in public and private collections in Idaho, Connecticut, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Washington, D.C.

title: Romário Baldé

text:
Romário Baldé (born 25 December 1996) is a Bissau-Guinean professional footballer who plays for Chinese Super League club Nantong Zhiyun as a winger. He was born in Guinea-Bissau, but represented Portugal internationally on junior levels. On senior level, he switched allegiance back to his country of birth.

Club career
Born in Bissau, Baldé arrived in the youth ranks of Benfica at age 12, from local Estrela da Amadora.

He represented the club on the debut season of UEFA Youth League, helping them progress all the way through the final, lost to Barcelona. The following season, the 17–year old made his professional debut for Benfica B in a 2014–15 Segunda Liga match against C.D. Trofense on 9 August 2014. He also represented Benfica again in the UEFA Youth League, reaching the quarter-finals against FC Shakhtar Donetsk, where he missed a penalty, attempted in panenka style, that would have given his team the lead. They were later eliminated in the penalty shootout.

In May 2015, Baldé announced that he would be leaving the club, after he could not agree on a new contract with Benfica. However, two months later, he back-tracked on that decision and signed a five-year extension with Benfica, being immediately loaned to Primeira Liga side Tondela for one season. He made his debut for Tondela in the 1–0 loss against Vitória de Guimarães on 13 September, and scored his first goal three weeks later in a 1–1 draw with Moreirense. Being regularly used throughout the season, he finished the campaign with 25 appearances and two goals.

In the following season, Baldé was not loaned out and remained at Benfica B, appearing in 21 games and scoring once. On 25 August 2017, Baldé moved on a permanent deal to Polish club, Lechia Gdańsk, signing a three-year contract. On 31 August, he moved to Académica de Coimbra on a one-year loan with an option to sign permanently.

In March 2023, Baldé joined Chinese Super League club Nantong Zhiyun.

International career
Baldé represented Portugal at the 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, scoring one goal. He captained the Portugal U20s for the 2016 Toulon Tournament.

Baldé made his Guinea-Bissau national team debut on 8 June 2019 in a friendly against Angola, as a half-time substitute for Jorginho.

title: Motion History Images

text:
The motion history image (MHI) is a static image template helps in understanding the motion location and path as it progresses. In MHI, the temporal motion information is collapsed into a single image template where intensity is a function of recency of motion. Thus, the MHI pixel intensity is a function of the motion history at that location, where brighter values correspond to a more recent motion. Using MHI, moving parts of a video sequence can be engraved with a single image, from where one can predict the motion flow as well as the moving parts of the video action.

Some important features of the MHI representation are:
 It represents motion sequence in a compact manner. In this case, the silhouette sequence is condensed into a grayscale image, where dominant motion information is preserved.
 MHI can be created and implemented in low illumination conditions where the structure cannot be easily detected otherwise.
 The MHI representation is not so sensitive to silhouette noises, holes, shadows, and missing parts.
 The gray-scale MHI is sensitive to the direction of motion because it can demonstrate the flow direction of the motion.
 It keeps a history of temporal changes at each pixel location, which then decays over time.
 The MHI expresses the motion flow or sequence by using the intensity of every pixel in a temporal manner.

title: Medvednica Fault Zone

text:
The Medvednica Fault Zone is a fault zone in northern Croatia. It is named after the mountain Medvednica. The fault zone strikes ENE–WSW and is seismically active. The movements along the fault are sinistral and connected to the counterclockwise movements of the Adriatic plate. The fault also shows signs of thrusting.

The North Medvednica Fault, a reverse fault which reaches the surface at the northern fringe of Medvednica, is believed to be responsible for the 2020 Zagreb earthquake, which caused a 5.5 earthquake with an epicentre in the inner city area. The most dangerous fault on Medvednica is thought to be the NNW–SSE-oriented strike-slip Kašina Fault, passing through Kašina, around  from the city centre, which could produce earthquakes up to 6.5–6.6 in strength. Some of the research following the 2020 earthquake indicates that the 6.3 1880 earthquake, thought to have been caused by the Kašina Fault, was actually a product of the North Medvednica Fault, and Kašina's capacity for earthquakes was revised down to 5.88.

title: Dumfries Courier

text:
The Dumfries Courier is a weekly newspaper published in Annan, Scotland.  It was founded in 1809 by Rev. Dr Henry Duncan (1774-1846) as The Dumfries and Galloway Courier and is currently published by the DNG Media Group as the Dumfries Courier.

History

Henry Duncan, minister of Ruthwell and creator of the savings bank, founded the Courier in order to compete with the Dumfries Weekly Journal, which he described as "an organ of public opinion" with "neither weight nor authority". He obtained his financial backing from his brothers, who were shipping merchants in Liverpool. Duncan owned and edited the newspaper until 1817, when he requested that John McDiarmid take over the editorship and become a partner in the business. Both editors displayed a moderate-to-liberal political stance, demonstrated by lengthy commentaries on prison reform, suffrage, Catholic emancipation and education. After McDiarmid's death in 1852, the editorship was taken over by his son, William R. M’Diarmid.

In 1884, the Courier was purchased by local conservatives and merged with the Dumfriesshire and Galloway Herald and Register in order to form the Dumfries and Galloway Courier and Herald. In 1939, it ceased publication owing to wartime paper shortages. In 1977, the newspaper, still owned by Dumfriesshire Newspapers Limited, restarted publication under the title The Dumfries Courier, sharing its online presence with DNG Media's other regional titles.

Operations
The paper initially ran bi-weekly and was distributed on Tuesdays and Thursdays at a price of six pence, but became weekly from 1821. When the paper resumed production in 1977, it did so as a free newspaper.

Notable reporters
 Robert Carruthers, later of the Inverness Courier
 James Pagan, later of the Glasgow Herald.

title: Gevora Hotel

text:
Gevora Hotel (Arabic: فندق جيفورا) is a  tall hotel along Sheikh Zayed Road in the city Dubai, UAE. That height has given the skyscraper the title of tallest hotel building according to Guinness World Records. The four-star hotel opened in February 2018 after a construction period of twelve years. It has 528 rooms spread over 75 floors and a number of facilities including restaurants and a pool on top of its parking garage building.

Gevora Hotel is close to the Dubai International Financial Centre and its namesake metro station, the Rose Rayhaan by Rotana, and the Emirates Towers.

History

Construction of the building started in 2005 with Al Attar Properties as developer. During the construction phase, the building was known as Ahmed Abdul Rahim Al Attar Tower (Arabic: برج أحمد عبد الرحيم العطار) after the chairman of the development firm. The architect of record was Al Turath Engineering Consultants. The contractors included Al Fara'a General Contracting, Naresco Contracting, and Caterpillar Contracting. It was engineered by the firms Gulf Engineering & Consultants (structural) and Al Attar Electromechanical Engineering (MEP).

After the groundwork was laid in 2005, the tower rose between the spring of 2006 and the summer of 2008, when the top floors were reached. One new floor was added every five days. When a new floor was constructed, first the staircase and elevator shafts were erected, followed by the outer walls and their surrounding beams. Finally, the spaces in between were filled. After the main structure was finished, the building was fully clad and the crown was installed. The building was initially planned as a residential tower, but was converted into a hotel during construction. It was completed in 2017 after twelve years of construction. Gulf News reported the construction had cost over 500 million AED (US$140 million). After its completion, it was revealed that the building would be a hotel with the name "Gevora Hotel". The first guests arrived on 12 February 2018.

Architecture

The Gevora Hotel consists of a main hotel building and a parking garage building. The main building has an architectural height of , making it the tallest hotel building according to Guinness World Records. It beat the previous record holder, the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, which is located around  to the southwest, by about .
