title: OTB Group

text:
Only The Brave, S.p.A., commonly known as OTB Group, is an Italian holding multinational corporation specializing in luxury goods, headquartered in Breganze. The company was founded in 2002 by Renzo Rosso as a holding company for Diesel and future acquisitions of fashion houses. OTB Group is the parent company of a number of brands, including Diesel, Maison Margiela, Marni, Jil Sander, and Viktor & Rolf.

The company recorded an annual revenue of €1.74 billion in 2022. Ubaldo Minelli has been CEO of the company since 2017.

History

After acquiring complete control of Diesel in 1985, OTB's founder Renzo Rosso continued to grow his portfolio through the acquisition of Staff International, a fashion production, logistics, and marketing company, in October 2000.

In 2002, OTB Group was founded as a holding company to invest in fashion designers and companies that lacked financial stability, but produced designs deemed creative and promising by Rosso. Then, the company acquired French luxury fashion house Maison Margiela in 2002 and Dutch luxury fashion house Viktor & Rolf in 2008.

In 2011, Brave Kid was founded as a subsidiary of OTB Group that specializes in the product development, production, and distribution of licensed premium children's clothing and accessories. Brave Kid holds license agreements with Diesel, John Galliano, Dsquared², Marni, N21 and Trussardi.

Italian luxury fashion house Marni was acquired in 2012, followed by Amiri in 2019 and Jil Sander in 2021.

OTB Foundation
OTB Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2008 to contribute to the sustainable development of less advantaged areas.

In 2009, Rosso, together with Millennium Promise, started supporting the development of the Only The Brave Millennium Village, in Dioro, Mali.  Established in 2005, [[Millennium Promise non-profit organization solely committed to supporting the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals to halve extreme poverty by 2015. In February 2012, Rosso was invited by the Permanent Mission of Italy to the United Nations to host a press conference at The United Nations together with Jeffrey Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Advisor to The United Nations' Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, about the progress of Millennium Promise and OTB Foundation.

The Brave Circle Fund was created in 2012 to help people hit by the 2012 earthquakes in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. A personal endowment of 5 million euros was dedicated to setting up a micro-credit program for local people and small and medium enterprises who need help in reconstructing homes and businesses, but who normally would not have access to the traditional banking system because of their lack of guarantees. At launch, Rosso said the aim was to fund "700–800 projects with €5,000–50,000 each."

In June 2008, Rosso donated HK$2,000,000 (or US$250,000) to the Special Relief Fund established by UNICEF for children affected by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.

title: AES67

text:
AES67 is a technical standard for audio over IP and audio over Ethernet (AoE) interoperability. The standard was developed by the Audio Engineering Society and first published in September 2013. It is a layer 3 protocol suite based on existing standards and is designed to allow interoperability between various IP-based audio networking systems such as RAVENNA, Livewire, Q-LAN and Dante.

AES67 promises interoperability between previously competing networked audio systems and long-term network interoperation between systems. It also provides interoperability with layer 2 technologies, like Audio Video Bridging (AVB). Since its publication, AES67 has been implemented independently by several manufacturers and adopted by many others.

Overview
AES67 defines requirements for synchronizing clocks, setting QoS priorities for media traffic, and initiating media streams with standard protocols from the Internet protocol suite. AES67 also defines audio sample format and sample rate, supported number of channels, as well as IP data packet size and latency/buffering requirements.

The standard calls out several protocol options for device discovery but does not require any to be implemented. Session Initiation Protocol is used for unicast connection management. No connection management protocol is defined for multicast connections.

Synchronization
AES67 uses IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTPv2) for clock synchronisation.
For standard networking equipment, AES67 defines configuration parameters for a "PTP profile for media applications", based on IEEE 1588 delay request-response sync and (optionally) peer-to-peer sync (IEEE 1588 Annexes J.3 and J4); event messages are encapsulated in IPv4 packets over UDP transport (IEEE 1588 Annex D). Some of the default parameters are adjusted, specifically, logSyncInterval and logMinDelayReqInterval are reduced to improve accuracy and startup time.
Clock Grade 2 as defined in AES11 Digital Audio Reference Signal (DARS) is signaled with clockClass.

Network equipment conforming to IEEE 1588-2008 uses default PTP profiles; for video streams, SMPTE 2059-2 PTP profile can be used.

In AVB/TSN networks, synchronization is achieved with IEEE 802.1AS profile for Time-Sensitive Applications.

The media clock is based on synchronized network time with an IEEE 1588 epoch (1 January 1970 00:00:00 TAI). Clock rates are fixed at audio sampling frequencies of  44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz (i.e. thousand samples per second).
RTP transport works with a fixed time offset to network clock.

Transport

Media data is transported in IPv4 packets and attempts to avoid IP fragmentation.

Real-time Transport Protocol with RTP Profile for Audio and Video (L24 and L16 formats) is used over UDP transport. RTP payload is limited to 1460 bytes, to prevent fragmentation with default Ethernet MTU of 1500 bytes (after subtracting IP/UDP/RTP overhead of
20+8+12=40 Bytes).
Contributing source (CSRC) identifiers and TLS encryption are not supported.

Time synchronization, media stream delivery, and discovery protocols may use IP multicasting with IGMPv2 (optionally IGMPv3) negotiation. Each media stream is assigned a unique multicast address (in the range from 239.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255); only one device can send to this address (many-to-many connections are not supported).

To monitor keepalive status and allocate bandwidth, devices may use RTCP report interval, SIP session timers and OPTIONS ping, or ICMP Echo request (ping).

AES67 uses DiffServ to set QoS traffic priorities in the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field of the IP packet. Three classes should be supported at a minimum:

Announce, Sync, Follow_Up, Delay_Req, Delay_Resp, Pdelay_Req, Pdelay_Resp, Pdelay_Resp_Follow_Up

250 μs maximum delay may be required for time-critical applications to prevent drops of audio. To prioritize critical media streams in a large network, applications may use additional values in the Assured Forwarding class 4 with low-drop probability (AF41), typically implemented as a weighted round-robin queue. Clock traffic is assigned to the Expedited Forwarding (EF) class, which typically implements strict priority per-hop behavior (PHB). All other traffic is handled on a best effort basis with Default Forwarding.

RTP Clock Source Signalling procedure is used to specify PTP domain and grandmaster ID for each media stream.

Audio encoding

Sample formats include 16-bit and 24-bit Linear PCM with 48 kHz sampling frequency, and optional 24-bit 96 kHz and 16-bit 44.1 kHz. Other RTP audio video formats may be supported.
Multiple sample frequencies are optional. Devices may enforce a global sample frequency setting.

Media packets are scheduled according to 'packet time' - transmission duration of a standard Ethernet packet. Packet time is negotiated by the stream source for each streaming session. Short packet times provide low latency and high transmission rate, but introduce high overhead and require high-performance equipment and links. Long packet times increase latencies and require more buffering. A range from 125 μs to 4 ms is defined, though it is recommended that devices shall adapt to packet time changes and/or determine packet time by analyzing RTP timestamps.

Packet time determines RTP payload size according to a supported sample rate. 1 ms is required for all devices. Devices should support a minimum of 1 to 8 channels per stream.

MTU size restrictions limit a 96 kHz audio stream using 4-ms packet time to a single channel.

Latency
Network latency (link offset) is the time difference between the moment an audio stream enters the source (ingress time), marked by RTP timestamp in the media packet, and the moment it leaves the destination (egress time). Latency depends on packet time, propagation and queuing delays, packet processing overhead, and buffering in the destination device; thus minimum latency is the shortest packet time and network forwarding time, which can be less than 1 μs on a point-to-point Gigabit Ethernet link with minimum packet size, but in real-world networks could be twice the packet time.

Small buffers decrease latency but may result in drops of audio when media data does not arrive on time. Unexpected changes to network conditions and jitter from packet encoding and processing may require longer buffering and therefore higher latency. Destinations are required to use a buffer of 3 times the packet time, though at least 20 times the packet time (or 20 ms if smaller) is recommended. Sources are required to maintain transmission with jitter of less than 17 packet times (or 17 ms if shorter), though 1 packet time (or 1 ms if shorter) is recommended.

Interoperability with AVB
AES67 may transport media streams as IEEE 802.1BA AVB time-sensitive traffic Classes A and B on supported networks, with guaranteed latency of 2 ms and 50 ms respectively. Reservation of bandwidth with the Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP) specifies the amount of traffic generated through a measurement interval of 125 μs and 250 μs respectively. Multicast IP addresses have to be used, though only with a single source, as AVB networks only support Ethernet multicast destination addressing in the range from 01:00:5e:00:00:00 to 01:00:5e:7f:ff:ff.

An SRP talker advertise message shall be mapped as follows:

Under both IEEE 1588-2008 and IEEE 802.1AS, a PTP clock can be designated as an ordinary clock (OC), boundary clock (BC) or transparent clock (TC), though 802.1AS transparent clocks also have some boundary clock capabilities. A device may implement one or more of these capabilities.
OC may have as few as one port (network connection), while TC and BC must have two or more ports. BC and OC ports can work as a master (grandmaster) or a slave. An IEEE 1588 profile is associated with each port. TC can belong to multiple clock domains and profiles.
These provisions make it possible to synchronize IEEE 802.1AS clocks to IEEE 1588-2008 clocks used by AES67.

Development history
The standard was developed by the Audio Engineering Society beginning at the end of 2010. The standard was initially published September 2013. A second printing which added a patent statement from Audinate was published in March 2014.

The Media Networking Alliance was formed in October 2014 to promote adoption of AES67.

In October 2014 a plugfest was held to test interoperability achieved with AES67. A second plugfest was conducted in November 2015 and third in February 2017.

An update to the standard including clarifications and error corrections was issued in September 2015.

In May 2016, the AES published a report describing synchronization interoperability between AES67 and SMPTE 2059-2.

In June 2016, AES67 audio transport enhanced by AVB/TSN clock synchronisation and bandwidth reservation was demonstrated at InfoComm 2016.

In September 2017, SMPTE published ST 2110, a standard for professional video over IP.  uses AES67 as the transport for audio accompanying the video.

In December 2017 the Media Networking Alliance merged with the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) combining efforts to promote standards-based network transport for audio and video.

In April 2018 AES67-2018 was published. The principal change in this revision is addition of a protocol implementation conformance statement (PICS).

The AES Standards Committee and AES67 editor, Kevin Gross, were recipients of a Technology & Engineering Emmy Award in 2019 for the development of synchronized multi-channel uncompressed audio transport over IP networks.

Adoption
The standard has been implemented by Lawo, Digisynthetic, Axia, AMX (in SVSI devices), Wheatstone, Extron Electronics, Riedel, Ross Video, ALC NetworX, Audinate, Archwave, Digigram, Sonifex, Aqua Broadcast, Yamaha, QSC, Neutrik, Attero Tech, Merging Technologies, Gallery SIENNA, Behringer, Tieline  and is supported by RAVENNA-enabled devices under its AES67 Operational Profile.

Shipping products
Over time this table will grow to become a resource for integration and compatibility between devices. The discovery methods supported by each device are critical for integration since the AES67 specification does not stipulate how this should be done, but instead provides a variety of options or suggestions. Also, AES67 specifies multicast and unicast but many AES67 devices only support multicast.

title: Emi Fontana

text:
Amelia "Emi" Fontana (born 1961 in Milan) is a cultural producer, art curator and writer based in Los Angeles.

Fontana studied art history at the University La Sapienza in Rome, with a focus on the Venetian Renaissance. She came of age in the late seventies when Italy was experiencing a renaissance of creativity and was considered a laboratory of new ideas and talents. During this time Fontana was immersed in circles of artists, musicians and writers. She was especially close to the group of writers and cartoonists involved with the publication of several independent magazines, including Il Male, Cannibale, and Frigidaire – as well as "off theater" avant-garde experiences like the circle of the Beat 72 . In these early years Fontana met the well known cultural attaché for the city of Rome, Renato Nicolini. His ideas of bringing culture in to the streets trespassing boundaries of high and low that culminated with the Estate Romana (Roman Summer), became influential for her later activity as cultural producer.

Early career

In the late 1980s, after few years working in advertising, Fontana became increasingly active and involved in contemporary art as an independent curator for galleries and public institutions. With Laura Ruggeri and Gianni Romano she initiated the first archive of women artists working in Italy, which is now housed at DOCVA (Documentation Centre for Visual Arts) in Milan. In 1991 she organized "An English View" at the British Academy in Rome, the first show in Italy of YBA (Young British Art).

Emi Fontana Gallery, Milan

In 1992, Fontana opened the Emi Fontana Gallery in Milan, where she worked with artists such as Adrian Piper, Alessandra Spranzi, Arpiani & Pagliarini, Cosima von Bonin, Diana Thater, Gillian Wearing, John Waters, Ketty La Rocca, Liam Gillick, Liliana Moro, Lovett & Codagnone, Luca Buvoli, Luca Vitone, Mark Dion, Michael Smith, Mike Kelley, Monica Bonvicini, Olafur Eliasson, Renée Green, Rirkrit Tiravanija and Sam Durant. The gallery officially closed in 2009.

Curatorial activities and productions

In 2002 Fontana organized a small exhibition for conceptual artist Ketty La Rocca (Italian, 1938-1976) at the Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles. Three years later in 2005 Fontana initiated a series of nomadic art projects under the name "West of Rome". The organization focused on finding alternative strategies of exhibition for contemporary art. The first project was Olafur Eliasson's "Meant to be lived in (Today I’m feeling prismatic)", at the Jamie Residence, Pasadena, CA. In 2006 Fontana brought the work of Italian artist Monica Bonvicini to a vacant, store front in Pasadena for "Not For You". 2007 Fontana curated "relay", which was a collaborative work of T. Kelly Mason and Diana Thater, held in a former bridal salon in Westwood, CA. Also in Westwood in 2007,  Fontana presented works of Liliana Moro featuring a group of cast-bronze sculptures of attacking dogs, and framed embroidered depictions of domestic cats at the Italian Cultural Institute.

West of Rome Public Art
By 2008 Fontana took steps towards setting up a non-profit art initiative with support of the Pasadena Arts Council until eventually gaining status as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and becoming "West of Rome Public Art". In 2008 Fontana curated the group show “Women in the City”, where works by Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer and Louise Lawler were disseminated in more than 300 locations across greater Los Angeles. as best public art project of the year by American's for the arts. In 2009 she curated and produced with Mike Kelley, and Michael Smith "A Voyage of Growth and Discovery” a multichannel video and sculptural installation by Kelley and Smith. 2010 a later incarnation of "Women in the City" would include artists Marnie Weber and Jennifer Bolande, In 2011, Fontana organised "Trespass Parade" as part of Getty's "Pacific Standard Time" with Rirkrit Tiravanija and Arto Lindsay, a project that involved more than 200 artists and over 2000 participants, who took over the streets of downtown Los Angeles in street theatre and performance.

Recent projects
More recently, Fontana curated a series of new performances for the J. Paul Getty's "Pacific Standard Time Performance Festival" and West of Rome, with Vaginal Davis and Andrea Fraser; Andrea Fraser’s "Men on the Line," has been since then presented in prominent art institutions, from MoMA to the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, as well as becoming the object of major academic discussions on the issue of performance, feminism and so called post-feminism. Also the work of artist Suzanne Lacy "Three Weeks in January" curated by Emi Fontana in collaboration with John Tain as part of the J. Paul Getty's "Pacific Standard Time Performance Festival

In May 2013 Emi Fontana and Andrea Lissoni curated the exhibition, Mike Kelley, "Eternity is a Long Time". for the Hangar Bicocca and Pirelli Foundation in Milan. Also in the summer of 2013 Fontana curated the show of another Los Angeles based artist. Stanya Kahn's, "Downer (but your ass looks huge from down here)" at Pigna Project Space in Rome, Italy from May 25 -June 25, 2013.

Goodbyemotel (stylised as goodbyemotel) is a rock band formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2008. They are currently based out of Brooklyn, New York. The band attracted attention after live performances at several CMJ music festivals, and after their music was used on television. Several high profile music industry veterans contributed to the recording of their 2014 album If. goodbyemotel is best known for their "4D Live Music Experience."

History
The band formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2008 and later moved to Brooklyn, New York. They attracted considerable attention after their song "Set it Off" from their People EP was featured in a Chrysler Australia advertisement and then went into heavy rotation on several Australian radio stations. Their song "Last Flight of The Bat" was featured on the television show Gossip Girl. After landing a showcase performance at CMJ in 2011, the band lost their drummer two weeks prior to departure for the United States. Despite having to fill in performances with session drummers on short notice, the event was a success and goodbyemotel was invited back to perform at CMJ's 2012 and 2013 festivals.

Several industry veterans were involved in the creation of goodbyemotel’s 2014 album If. The recording was produced by Kevin Killen, who has worked with Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and U2, and engineered by Ken Thomas, who has worked with David Bowie and Sigur Rós. The album cover for If was designed by the late Storm Thorgerson, who created cover artwork for several Pink Floyd albums. goodbyemotel’s current lineup includes: Australian natives Tom Marks, David Schmidt, and Scott Pioro; Swedish/Australian lead singer and guitarist Gustaf Sjödin Enström; Rochester, NY drummer Paul Amorese.

"The 4D Live Music Experience"
goodbyemotel has developed the unique "4D Live Music Experience," during which the band performs in front of a scrim onto which film and 3D images are projected. Audience members are given 3-D glasses upon admission to the show so that they may experience the full effects. After several songs, the scrim is eventually dropped, leaving the band to perform a more conventional rock concert. After debuting their conceptual live video performance in New York City, they have since performed it on stages all over the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia.

title: Check Into Cash

text:
Check Into Cash is a financial services retailer with more than 1,100 stores in 30 states. The company was founded in 1993 by W. Allan Jones in Cleveland, Tennessee, where the headquarters are located today.

The firm offers payday loans, online payday advances, title loans, bill payment services, check cashing, reloadable prepaid debit cards, and Western Union money transfers and money order services.

History

Jones founded Check Into Cash in 1993. He has been referred to as "the father of the payday lending industry" for creating the first national payday lending chain.
In 1973, at age 20, he left college, where he had been pursuing a business degree, to help stabilize the family’s business, the Credit Bureau of Cleveland (TN). He purchased the reporting and debt collection business in 1977 and built it into one of the largest credit bureau databases in Tennessee.  He sold the credit reporting side of the business to Equifax in 1988, retaining the name and collection agency division. He then built the company to be the largest in the state and sold it in 1998.

Check Into Cash has grown to become one of the largest payday loan companies in the United States, with over 1,200 locations.

In 2012, the firm acquired Cash and Cheque Express, a consumer financial services chain in the United Kingdom.
In 2013, the firm acquired Great American Pawn and Title and Quick loans, both based in Georgia, plus Great American Cash Advance and Nations Quick Cash Title Pawn, which operate in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. Check Into Cash has also acquired Title First Title Pawn, which is based in Georgia.

Other organizations

Previously, Check Into Cash was a founding member of the Community Financial Services Association of America, which sets best practices standards for its members in the payday advance industry.
The firm has affiliate companies that operate under these brand names:
U.S. Money Shops
U.S. Money Title Loan
U.S. Money Shops Pawn
Check Into Cash Title Pawn
LoanByPhone.com
Title First Title Pawn
Great American Pawn and Title
Great American Cash Advance
Quic!oans
Nations Quick Cash Title Pawn
As of recently, Check Into Cash has been bought out and is now an entity of Community Choice Financial Institution. CCFI owns Cash 1 and California Check Cashing Stores as well.

Criticism
The company has been criticized for its exorbitant interest rates and has been accused of exploiting the poor. The payday loan model is instituted with the intent that customers will be unable to pay back the debt in the allotted time, causing them to renew the loan multiple times, resulting in interest several times greater than the original sum of money borrowed. This business model, once illegal in many states, was made possible after Jones donated to the campaigns of several state legislators, convincing them to legalize it.

title: Royale Racing

text:
Royale Race Cars was a British constructor of race cars in the 20th century. The company produced single seaters as well as sports cars.

History

Late 1960s
Bob King had experience with the working on and selling of automobiles. When King acquired an Elva he had the intention to race the car himself. This evolved into preparing race cars for others. He founded Racing Preparations, specializing in Coventry Climax engines. After the demand for Climax engines decreased King and business partner Alan Cornock decided to focus on constructing race cars. In 1968 King founded Royale, named after the Park Royal area in London.  The first car was the RP1, RP for Racing Preparations. The car was designed by Bob Marston, a future designer for Lola Cars. The RP2 was the first production Royale of which 30 were built.

1970s

The RP2 had some success in the Brazilian Formula Ford championship. Ray Allen achieved a third place in the championship behind Emerson Fittipaldi and Ian Ashley both driving Lotuses. Royale introduced many new cars in 1970. Ray Allen dominated the newly found Formula F100 in a Royale RP4. Two Formula Atlantic RP8's were built. Chassis number 1 was driven by Ray Allen and Tony Lanfranchi in various Formula Libre races. At the end of the year the car was shipped of to America. The second chassis sold as a Formula 3 car to a German agent.

In 1971 Royale had a lot of success in the Formula Super Vee. Syd Williams, fielded by D.J. Bond Racing, won the first race of the German championship. Manfred Schurti and Manfred Trint scored a one-two finish for Royale during the final round of the championship. In the American championship Royale had even more success. Billy Scott won the championship winning four races. Royales were also driven by Ray Heppenstall among others. Tom Pryce debuted the RP11 during round 17 of the BRSCC British F3 championship. The Ford engined car did not finish the race after an accident. Val Musetti raced an RP11 at the Christmas Championship Trophy. The following year Pryce won the opening round of the BRSCC British F3. Ian Ashley scored a third-place finish in the opening round of the BRSCC North Central British F3. In Formula Super Vee, Manfred Schurti won four races and was placed first in the German championship. Scott won the American championship again in 1972 driving a Royale. Paul Dalton drove an RP5 in the SCCA Continental Championship for Formula B/C. But without major results. In the British Formula Atlantic championship Tom Pryce and Ray Allen drove a Royale RP12. The car received some good results. Pryce won one race and scored another podium finish. Ray Allen scored two podium finishes at Brands Hatch and Oulton Park. Royale also scored its first win at the prestigious SCCA National Championship Runoffs. William Holbrook won the C Sports Racer class in an RP4.

1973 was again highly successful for Royale in Formula Super Vee. Harry Ingle and Bob Lazier won races for the British marque. Lazier finished third in the championship behind Harry Ingle. Bertil Roos won the championship in a Tui.  Former Formula Super Vee champion Manfred Schurti raced a Royale in various Formula 2 races. Schurti struggled to qualify. The only race he qualified Schurti did not finish due to a camshaft failure. The best result in Formula 3 came at Thruxton with Andy Sutcliffe. In the opening round of the BARC F3 championship Sutcliffe scored a second-place finish.

The following year Royale was again very competitive in Formula Super Vee. Tom Bagley scored two wins in the American championship. Bagley, Walter Wilkins, Richard Melville and Billy Scott all scored podium finishes racing Royales. Bagley finished third in the championship. In Europe the marque had less success. Ruedi Caprez and Baron de St. Hubert scored podium finishes. 1975 marked the year Royale built its last Formula Super Vee cars. Rory Byrne joined the design team and designed the RP19. Bobby Rahal was the only Royale driver to score podium finished. Rahal finished second at Mosport Park and third at Watkins Glen. Geoff Lees, driving a Royale RP21, won the 1975 Formula Ford Festival. This was the last Festival to be driven at the Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit. South African driver Rad Dougall finished third also driving a Royale. Lees also won the BRDC and BRSCC Formula Ford championships. With the demise of Formula Super Vee Royale began to focus on Formula Ford 2000. Rory Byrne built a prototype and in 1977 production began on the RP25. In 1976 Rory Byrne designed Royales last Formula 3 car. Byrne designed and built the chassis and suspension. But before the car was finished the project was sold to Roger Andreason and Paul Fox who completed the bodywork. The car was renamed Druid 377. Due to the lack of ground effect the car was not competitive in Formula 3 and was rebuilt as a Formula Atlantic car for the 1979 season. With driver Roger White the car had some top ten finishes. A further two chassis were built. Meanwhile, in Formula Ford Jim Walsh won the 1976 BRDC championship. In 1977 Royale made its debut in Formula Ford 2000. Rad Dougall had a very good season as he won the BARC championship and the MCD championship. He won a total of 14 races. Fellow Royale driver Kenny Gray won another three races. A Royale car also won the BARC Formula Ford 1600 championship. David Leslie won nine races and secured the championship. Kenny Acheson won the championship the following year driving a Royale.

1980s

Royale was one of the few constructors to design a new car for the Formula Talbot series along with Sparton. Most entries were redesigned Formula Ford 2000 cars. The cars used a Talbot Sunbeam 1.6 litre engine that ran on methanol fuel. The series folded in 1982 after three seasons. Pat Symonds designed the Formula Talbot, Formula Ford 1600 and Formula Ford 2000 cars built by Royale in 1980. The marque dominated the British Formula Ford 2000 championship. Royale RP27's won all races in the BARC championship. Richard Trott won the championship. Trott also won the MCD Formula Ford 2000 championship. In Formula Ford 1600 Royale won three races in the BARC championship with Jonathan Palmer, Rob Tennant and Rick Morris. The following year was less successful for Royale. The RP29 and RP30 were race winners in their championships but could not secure championship titles. In Formula Ford 1600 David Wheeler was the most successful Royale driver winning two races in a Van Diemen dominated season. Van Diemen also dominated the Formula Ford 2000 championship. Royale achieved five wins with Tim Davies and two wins with Mike Taylor. In 1982 Mike Taylor entered a Royale S2000M, Royales first Sports 2000 car, in the British Sports 2000 Championship. The British driver won three races. Jeremy Rossiter and David Sutherland also won races in the championship driving Royales. The Thundersports championship was launched in 1983. Royale S2000M cars were eligible in this Formula Libre style sports car championship. Royale achieved three podium finishes. The S2000M also won races in the British S2000 championship with David Sutherland. Keith Fine won the only race for Royale in the British Formula Ford 1600. Bob Marston designed a new S2000 car for 1984. The car achieved a second place at Brands Hatch in the Thundersports championship. In the British S2000 championship James Thompson won four races. Thompson secured the championship finishing in front of Sean Walker both driving Royales. 1984 was also the year the last Formula Ford 1600 chassis were built by Royale. The Royale RP36, of which 14 were built, could not achieve significant results. The following year the last Formula Ford 2000 chassis were built. But with Reynard and Van Diemen dominating the market, Royale could not win any races. In S2000 Royale had stiff competition from Shrike and Tiga. Ian Flux won round 14 at Thruxton. Bob Marston designed a new S2000 car, the RP42. Mike Taylor finished second in the championship winning six races. Taylor went on to win the following season in a RP42. The British driver also scored podium finishes in the Thundersports championship in 1986 and 1987. Royale made its first Group C car in 1985. The Royale RP40 would be rebadged as the Argo JM16 after Royale ceased to produce racing cars. The car would achieve a ninth place in its inaugural race, the 1984 24 Hours of Daytona.  Lyn St. James and Howdy Holmes achieved a third-place finish in the Watkins Glen 500 Kilometres.

The Central Fire Station on Abbey Road in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England is a Grade II listed former fire station that has been described by Historic England as a "well-preserved example of the first generation of fire station built specifically for motorised appliances". Constructed in 1911 and opening a year later, the building served as the town's only station until Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service completed their first new-build station on Phoenix Road in 1996. The building is noted for its striking red brick facades and buff terracotta dressings, it bears a strong resemblance to the Technical School built less than 10 years prior nearby on the opposite side of Abbey Road. The building has since been converted into a 'Bed Brigade' store.

title: Government by the People Act

text:
The Government by the People Act or H.R. 20 is proposed United States campaign finance reform legislation introduced in 2014. , it had over 100 Democratic cosponsors, but at the time, it was thought to have little chance of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

Under the provisions of the act, political contributions of up to $150 would be matched by a factor of six times more than the original donation as long as candidates meet certain requirements. They must not use their own money, not accept donations over $1000, have  already received at least $50,000 from 1000 in-state donors, and decline most political action committee money. In order to subsidize donations to political candidates, supporters say it will close "corporate tax loopholes", though MinnPost.com said no financing mechanism has been identified. It has been supported in print by Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), John Sarbanes (D-MD), Annie Kuster (D-NH), and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI).

The U.S.-Japan Conference on Cultural and Educational Interchange(CULCON)  is a bi-national advisory panel to the U.S. and Japanese governments that serves to elevate and strengthen the vital cultural and educational foundations of the U.S.-Japan relationship.

Mission
According to its website, CULCON's mission is: “The U.S.-Japan Conference on Cultural and Educational Interchange (CULCON) is a bi-national advisory panel that serves to elevate and strengthen the vital cultural and educational foundations of the U.S.-Japan relationship, and to strengthen connections between U.S. and Japan leadership in those fields.  It works to ensure that the best of new ideas for cultural, educational and intellectual activity and exchange are implemented as operational programs.”

History
The U.S.-Japan Conference on Cultural and Educational Interchange (CULCON) is a program of the U.S. Department of State in the United States and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Japan  CULCON originated in a series of discussions between President John F. Kennedy and Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda in 1961 as a high-level advisory panel to the two governments for educational and cultural exchanges.  This arrangement was formalized by an exchange of memoranda between the two governments in 1968. Beginning in 1978, CULCON became a program of the United States Information Agency.  In 1999, with the restructuring of USIA and the Department of State, CULCON returned to the U.S. Department of State, Office of the Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.  In 1991, permanent secretariats were established in Tokyo and Washington to provide continuity to CULCON activities.  In the U.S., the secretariat was established within the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission, an independent federal agency that supports reciprocal people-to-people understanding and promotes partnerships that advance common interests between Japan and the United States.In Japan, the secretariat was established in the Japan Foundation, Japan's first public institution dedicated to sharing Japanese culture and language with people throughout the world.  Since then, U.S. CULCON has become a high-level, dynamic organization that has identified timely issues and responded with a range of creative solutions in areas such as educational exchange, media, digital culture, arts exchange and information access and global leaders.  The solutions are a direct result of the gatherings and discussions of CULCON's unique grouping of public and private sector members and the engagement of its Panelists.  Most recently, CULCON convened a bi-national Educational Task Force to examine decreasing trends of Japanese students studying abroad in the U.S. The Task Force made recommendations to leaders in both nations to double the number of study abroad students in each country by 2020.

CULCON Education Task Force
In January 2013, CULCON members from Japan and the United States met in Hawaii to examine downward trends in bilateral student exchanges and to create a bi-national Task Force that would make recommendations concerning the data in order to increase student exchanges. The Task Force convened to examine an alarming decrease in the number of Japanese students in the United States and to make recommendations to leaders in both nations towards an ambitious goal:  to double the number of study abroad students in each country by 2020. Over the past 15 years, there has been a 57 percent drop in the number of Japanese students studying in the United States, from over 47,000 students in 1997–1998 to fewer than 20,000 in 2011–2012.  During the same period, Japan fell from being the number-one country of origin for foreign students on U.S. campuses to seventh place. In the same period, U.S. citizens studying in Japan tripled, reaching 6,000, largely as a result of CULCON efforts established in the 1990s.  To examine these trends and their economic implications for both countries, CULCON convened a task force of specialists from a variety of fields and perspectives, including the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of State, as well as the Japanese Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In May 2013 the CULCON Education Task Force issued a Report and Recommendations. Report addresses country specific recommendations as well as bi-national cooperative actions.  The Task Force encourages for-profit and nonprofit private sector, the higher education community and the governments for both countries to take specific measures to improve English proficiency of Japanese students, for example, and a recommendation to reform the Japanese academic calendar would enable more Japanese students to study abroad and to internationalize Japanese universities.  The Report also examines ways the Japanese hiring practices could be reformed to allow more students to study abroad.  Collective actions for both countries include providing additional funding to students to compensate for the high costs of studying abroad.

In addition to recommending these institutional changes, the Task Force Report highlights both governments’ role in creating an environment that will encourage overseas exchange. In June 2014, the Report was presented in Tokyo to Prime Minister Abe and in Washington D.C. to Undersecretary Tara Sonenshine.  Around the same time, Prime Minister Abe announced a series of structural reforms to underpin economic growth.  Key themes of the policy include improving English language instruction, included replacing 1500 lecturers in eight Japanese universities with foreign professors, doubling the number of foreign professors who are in Japan now; lifting eight Japanese institutions into the global top 100 in the next ten years (currently, Tokyo University in 27th in the world and Kyoto University is 52nd); using the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to raise the standard of English in bureaucrats and students alike. The plan would mandate that individuals reach or exceed a threshold in scores on the TOEFL to gain college admission and to qualify for government jobs; and finally, collaborate with overseas counterparts to offer joint degrees to encourage studying abroad and learning English. Abe has also asserted that he would like to make English a required course starting from elementary schools and has expressed interest in reducing the financial burden to students in order to allow them to travel and study abroad. Many of the aforementioned reforms are directly correlated with the Recommendations made by the CULCON Education Task Force.

title: Chapel Haddlesey

text:
Chapel Haddlesey is a village and civil parish in the Selby District of North Yorkshire, England. The village used to be in the Barkston Ash Wapentake and up until 1974, it was in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The village is just east off the A19 road, which crosses the River Aire on Haddlesey Bridge.

Overview
At the west end of the village is the Church of England primary school, which has an age range of 4–11, and an average of 50 pupils on the roster. The St John the Baptist Church is at the east end of the village. The church was built in 1836 on the site of a previous religious house that dated back to the 14th century. Originally the church was a chapel of ease, as it was part of the parish of Birkin. It formed its own parish, along with the nearby villages of Temple Hirst and Hirst Courtney in 1873.

Boats used to travel up the River Aire to the south of the village and a weir and lock (Haddlesey Old Lock) were constructed in 1702. The lock became redundant upon the opening of the Selby Canal in 1778, but the weir was kept in place to allow headwaters to build up and keep the mouth from the canal at Selby in deep water. The canal mouth is at West Haddlesey, which is just  to the west of Chapel Haddlesey.

In 2016, Haddlesey Old Lock was converted into a hydro power station to generate enough electricity for 440 homes. The bottom of the lock is also the normal tidal limit for the River Aire.

title: Francis Bolton

text:
Sir Francis John Bolton (1831–1887) was a British Army officer, known also as a telegraphic and electrical engineer.

Life
The son of Dr. Thomas Wilson Bolton, surgeon, of London and Manchester, he enlisted in the Royal Artillery, in which he rose to be a non-commissioned officer, getting his first step as acting bombardier at Halifax, Nova Scotia. He obtained a commission as ensign in the Gold Coast artillery corps on 4 September 1857, and served in the expedition against the Krobo people, a small, prosperous ethnic group living east of Accra, in September, October, and November 1858, being present at the action of Krobo Heights on 18 September. He was promoted to be lieutenant on 9 November In June and July 1859 he was adjutant in the successful expedition against the Danquah rebels.

On his return to England Bolton was transferred to the 12th Regiment of Foot and promoted as captain on 21 September 1860. He was for several years engaged with Captain Philip Howard Colomb R.N. in developing a system of visual signalling, applicable to naval and military operations, which was adopted by the authorities. He also invented and developed an application of the oxy-calcium light for night signalling. The Army and Navy Signal Book was compiled by Bolton and Colomb, assisted by an officer of Royal Engineers, and was used during the British Expedition to Abyssinia of 1867/8.

From 1867 to 1869 Bolton was deputy-assistant quartermaster-general and assistant instructor in visual signalling at the School of Military Engineering at Chatham, under Captain Richard Hugh Stotherd, the instructor in telegraphy. He was promoted on 8 July 1868 to an unattached majority in consideration of his  services in army signalling. Bolton was largely instrumental in 1871 in founding the Society of Telegraph Engineers and Electricians, of which he became honorary secretary. He edited its Journal, and was afterwards vice-president.

In 1871 Bolton was appointed by the Board of Trade under the Metropolis Water Act to be water examiner to London. He was promoted to be lieutenant-colonel on 15 June 1877, and retired from the military service with the honorary rank of colonel on 1 July 1881.

Bolton was knighted in 1884. He died on 5 January 1887 at the Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth, Hampshire.

Works
Bolton designed the displays of coloured fountains and electric lights which formed prominent features of the exhibitions at South Kensington from 1883 to 1886; they were worked from the central tower under his personal superintendence. He was the author of:

 London Water Supply, 1884, of which a new edition, with an exposition of the law relating to water companies by Philip Arthur Scratchley, was published in 1888;
 Description of the Illuminated Fountain and of the Water Pavilion, 1884, originally delivered as a lecture at the International Health Exhibition.

Family
Bolton married in 1866 Julia, second daughter of R. Mathews of Oatlands Park, Surrey; she survived him.
