title: John W. Shenk

text:
John Wesley Shenk (February 7, 1875 – August 3, 1959) was a city attorney in Los Angeles, California, a Superior Court judge and a member of the California Supreme Court.

Early life and education
Shenk was born on February 7, 1875, in Shelburne, Vermont, the son of John Wesley Shenk of Cobbleskill, New York, who was a Methodist minister (died July 1922), and Susannah C. Brooks (died April 1929). He had three brothers, William W., Edmund S. and Adolphus B., and two sisters, Carrie M. (Wilson) and Susannah C. (McRae). He was educated in Shelbourne and in Omaha, Nebraska, public schools and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ohio Wesleyan University and a law degree from the University of Michigan School of Law in 1903, after which he passed an oral examination for the bar before the California Supreme Court. He later received honorary doctor of laws degrees from both universities and from the University of Southern California.

Career

Non-legal

In Shenk's youth, he was a printer, farmer, painter and newspaper reporter. He was a soldier during the 1898 Spanish–American War when he was with the 4th Ohio Infantry, which saw service in Puerto Rico. After the war, he joined his brother Adolphus in the Imperial Valley as a farm hand and mule skinner, then, at the age of 26, as a school teacher.

Legal

Los Angeles
In 1906 Shenk was appointed a deputy city attorney in Los Angeles, California, and in 1909 he became city attorney when Leslie R. Hewitt resigned from that position. During his term, the cities of Wilmington and San Pedro, were merged with the city of Los Angeles, and Shenk later recalled "a midnight trip midst irate farmers and sharp-toothed watch dogs as he hurriedly listing polling places and secured names of election officers for the required ordinance calling the annexation election." Shenk was in charge of the city's legal office when Los Angeles annexed the San Fernando Valley and began the Owens River Project to bring water to the city through the Los Angeles Aqueduct.

In a memorial tribute to Shenk written after his death, U.S. Judge Stanley N. Barnes recalled Shenk's role in a controversy between the city and the Pacific Electric Railway, which wanted to lay a spur railroad track to some land in San Pedro to which it claimed ownership. Barnes said:

It was necessary to cross First Street in San Pedro. City Attorney Shenk said this required a franchise. By way of answer, and over the Labor Day weekend and holiday, the Pacific Electric hurriedly installed the track over the street—relying on the absence of judges and injunctions over the holidays and a fait accompli. The Board of Public Works, acting on the advice of John Shenk, paid back in kind on the following weekend. It took men, horses and equipment to the harbor, took possession of the empty railroad cars after removing them, tore up the tracks and announced the city was and would remain in possession. The Outer Harbor was saved for the people of Los Angeles.

Barnes added in regard to Shenk's influence: "Then there was the development of municipal power; the "Hyperion" sewer problem; the famous Griffith Park case ... the acquisition of the Los Angeles Public Library site; [and] the Water District Act of 1913—still known as the Shenk Act.

The Shenk Decision
In 1912, the mayor asked Shenk to investigate an incident in which African American businessman C.W. Holden was charged a dollar for a beer at a saloon where white customers were charged only five cents for the same order. Shenk's decision "that businesses had the right to charge whatever they desired and could change their prices at will," resulted in unprecedented discrimination against African Americans throughout the city. The effects of the Shenk Decision were chronicled in Los Angeles's African American newspapers, which included the California Eagle and the weekly newsmagazine, the Liberator which asserted, "by a ruling as city attorney, Mr. Shenk completely nullified the Civil Rights bill in this state."

The 1913 Mayoral Race

In 1913, Shenk ran for Mayor of Los Angeles as the candidate of the "good government" Municipal Conference. Based on Shenk's discriminatory decision the year before, African American newspapers urged their readers to vote against Shenk. Shenk lost to the independent candidate, city Police Judge Henry R. Rose by just over nine thousand votes at a time when, according to the Liberator, African Americans represented fifteen thousand votes.

In July 1913, after stepping down as City Attorney Shenk returned to private practice with E. R. Young, who had served as chief assistant City Attorney.

In August 1913, Governor Hiram Johnson appointed Shenk to succeed Nathaniel P. Conrey as a judge in the Los Angeles Superior Court. In November 1914, Shenk was elected to a full term on the court.

Supreme Court
In 1924, Governor Friend W. Richardson named Shenk as an associate justice of the California Supreme Court, where he sat for 35 years and wrote 1,355 opinions.

Among his more notable decisions was the 1945 decision for a unanimous court in Alfafara v. Fross that Filipino-Americans were not aliens under the definition of the California constitution and therefore were eligible to buy and sell property in the state.

Another notable opinion was his 1948 dissent in the case of Perez v. Sharp, in which the court held by a vote of 4 to 3 that interracial bans on marriage violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and therefore were illegal in California. The opinion was the first of any state to strike down an anti-miscegenation law in the United States. In his dissent, joined by B. Rey Schauer and Homer R. Spence, Shenk wrote:

Death
Shenk died on August 3, 1959, while still in office.

Clubs
He was a Shriner and Knight Templar and a member of Lodge No. 99, Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks, Sons of the Revolution, Beta Theta Pi college fraternity and Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity, the Jonathan Club of Los Angeles and the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco. He was master of South Pasadena Masonic Lodge No. 367 and was a member of the Order of the Red Cross of Constantine.

Personal life
On June 28, 1907, Shenk was married to Lena R. Custer in Los Angeles. They had two sons, Samuel Custer and John Wesley Jr. During the last 35 years of his life, he lived in Los Altos, California, where he was active in establishing a union church.

Bath Roller Derby is a roller derby league based in Bath, Somerset. Founded in 2012, the league plays to the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) ruleset. The league has been a member of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) since May 2015.

League History
The league was founded in 2012 by several local skaters as Bath Roller Derby Girls but rebranded in 2018 and dropped the 'Girls'. They held their first public session in September 2012 and henceforth began holding regular training sessions. Half a year later, the league held their second recruitment intake and numbers begun to increase with a third intake following in November of that year.

In April 2014, they played their first international game against Lisbon Grrrls Roller Derby, taking home a 152–132 victory.

Bath won the 2018 Bath Sports Awards' Community Club of the Year award in 2018.

League skater Amy Buller (derby name Scarlett O’ Harma) died of breast cancer in September 2020, and the league have since hosted the "Peeka Hurt You Cup" in celebration of her life and to raise money for Dorothy House, a local hospice charity.

League Structure
The league currently has two teams drawn from all league skaters:

 Bath Spartans (A Team)
 Bath Roman Rollers (B Team).

The Bath Gladiators team is made up of those skaters not currently drafted to a Travel Team or currently injured and not skating. The Bath Skeleton Crew is the league's official crew, providing skating and non-skating officials (NSOs) for home and away games.

Five Nations Roller Derby Championships
The league participated in the British Roller Derby Championships 2015 Women T4 South West tier. They played Wiltshire Roller Derby, North Devon Roller Derby, Bridgend Roller Derby and Riot City Ravens, winning three out of their four games. This performance qualified them for Women T4 Playoffs - Western, where they won against North Wales Roller Derby, 165-128, but lost to Wirral Roller Derby's Savage Lilies, 294-78.

In 2016, they found themselves in Women Tier 3 South. They had a difficult start to the competition, losing their first four games against North Devon Roller Derby, Kent Roller Derby, Cornwall Roller Derby and Surrey Roller Girls, before beating Plymouth City Roller Derby.

A restructured tournament in 2017 saw the league in the Womens T3 Regional tier. They faced Granite City Roller Derby, Norfolk Roller Derby, Sheffield Steel Roller Derby, North Devon Roller Derby, Dorset Roller Girls, Riot City Ravens and Cornwall Roller Derby.

In 2018, they were promoted to Womens T2 UKRDA National in a further-restructured competition. They won their game against North Devon Roller Derby, but lost all their other games against SWAT Roller Derby, Royal Windsor Roller Derby, London Roller Derby's Batter C Power (C).

Their performance qualified them in 2019 to compete in the Womens T1 Premier tier. They faced up to London Roller Derby's Batter C Power, Norfolk Roller Derby, SWAT Roller Derby and Cambridge Rollerbillies.

In 2021, the British Championships rebranded as the Five Nations Roller Derby Championships.

title: Daniel de la Rosa

text:
Daniel de la Rosa (born July 4, 1993) is a Mexican racquetball and pickleball player. De La Rosa is the current International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Champion in Men's doubles, winning the title in 2022 in his home city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. He's won seven times on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT), including the 2021 US Open. De La Rosa is the first Mexican player to win the US Open, and he was the second Mexican player to win an IRT Tier 1 event (after Álvaro Beltrán).

Junior years – 2007–2011
De La Rosa represented Mexico to the IRF World Junior Championships most of his junior years. At the 2007 World Junior Championships in Cochabamba, Bolivia, De La Rosa lost in the quarterfinals of Boy's U14 Singles to the USA's Dylan Reid, 15–11, 6–14, 11–4, after beating Sebastian Franco of Colombia, 15–0, 15–4, in the Round of 16. He played Boy's U14 Doubles with Missael Leija, and they lost in the semi-finals to Bolivians Carlos Keller and Jorge Luis Michel, 15–4, 15–7. In his second year of 14s, De La Rosa lost in the semi-finals of Boy's U14 Singles at the 2008 World Junior Championships in Tempe, Arizona, as he was beaten by Marco Rojas of the US, 15–10, 15–11. He was runner up in Boy's U14 Doubles with Leija, as they lost in the final to Rojas and Jose Diaz, 13–15, 15–10, 11–4.

In 2009, De La Rosa played Boy's U16 Singles, losing to Carlos Keller of Bolivia in the semi-finals, 13–15, 15–8, 11–8. He also played Boy's U16 Singles following year in Los Angeles, where De La Rosa again lost in the semi-finals, to Jose Diaz of the US, 15–14, 15–9.

De La Rosa was runner up in Boy's U18 Singles at the 2011 World Junior Championships in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, as he lost to Carlos Keller of Bolivia in the final, 15–9, 15–5, after defeating the USA's Nick Montalbano, 15–14, 15–13, in the semi-finals, and Canadian Samuel Murray in the quarterfinals, 15–10, 15–6. He played Boy's U18 Doubles with Missael Leija, and they lost in the semi-finals to Montalbano and Joshua Hungerford, 15–12, 12–15, 11–9. That was the last time he played at World Juniors.

De La Rosa represented Mexico at a senior level for the first time in 2011 at age 17, when he played at the Pan American Racquetball Championships in Managua, Nicaragua. In the quarterfinals, De La Rosa beat the player who'd given him so much trouble at World Juniors – Bolivian Carlos Keller, 15–2, 15–8. Then he defeated Canadian Vincent Gagnon in the semi-finals, 15–13, 15–4, before eking out a narrow victory over American Chris Crowther in the final, 12–15, 15–14, 11–9. So, De La Rosa didn't win a World Junior Championship, but won gold in his first national team event.

Professional career begins – 2012–2019
De La Rosa played half of the 12 events of the 2012–13 IRT season, reaching the semi-finals once, quarterfinals three times, and Round of 16 twice. The semi was at the Stockton Pro-Am, where he lost to Rocky Carson in three games, 11–8, 11–2, 11–2. Those results combined to put him 9th at the end of the season, which began a streak of top 10 season finishes that is now in its 9th season. He became the third Mexican player to be in the IRT top 10 after Álvaro Beltrán and Javier Moreno.

In the 2013–14 IRT season, De La Rosa played the tour full time, entering 10 of the 11 events, and getting to a final for the first time, which happened in Davison, Michigan, where he lost to countryman Álvaro Beltrán, 11–8, 10–12, 11–8, 11–4, in what was the first final between two Mexican players in IRT history. That combined with two semi-final finishes and seven quarters put him 5th at the end of the season.

De La Rosa won Men's Doubles at the 2014 Pan American Racquetball Championships with Edson Martinez, beating Americans Jose Rojas and David Horn in the Men's Doubles final, 14–15, 15–12, 11–1.

De La Rosa played for Mexico at the  2014 Central American and Caribbean Games in Veracruz, Mexico, where he earned a silver medal in Men's Singles, losing to Álvaro Beltrán in the final, 15–7, 15–2, and a gold medal in the Men's Team event. De La Rosa defeated Costa Rican Andres Acuña in the final to seal victory for Mexico.

De La Rosa won his first IRT event in December 2014 during his second season playing full time on tour, when he defeated Álvaro Beltrán in the final of the 2014 New Jersey Open, 11–4, 11–6, 9–11, 12–10. De La Rosa reached the final by beating Rocky Carson in the semi-finals, 12–10, 9–11, 11–6, 11–6. He finished 2014–15 ranked 4th.

In 2015, De La Rosa played Men's Singles at the 2015 Pan American Racquetball Championships in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where he lost in the quarterfinals to Bolivian Conrrado Moscoso, 15–14, 15–11. Also that year, De La Rosa  played at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, where he was a bronze medalist in Men's singles and a gold medalist in the Men's Team event. De La Rosa lost to the USA's Rocky Carson in the semi-finals of singles, 15–14, 15–8, but helped Mexico win team gold by beating Costa Rica in the quarterfinals, Bolivia in the semi-finals, and the US in the final.

De La Rosa was in five finals in the 2015–16 season, including being a finalist at the US Open – the second Mexican player to do so after Beltran. He reached the final after an epic five game match with Rocky Carson, winning 11–9, 10–12, 8–11, 11–8, 12–10. But in the final, Kane Waselenchuk defeated De La Rosa in straight games, 11–5, 11–8, 11–3. His five finals that season is a career high, but he didn't win any of them. Nonetheless, he finished 3rd, behind Waselenchuk and Carson, at the end of the season, which was also a career high.

In 2016, De La Rosa won Men's Singles at the Pan American Racquetball Championships in his hometown of San Luis Potosí, where he defeated American Jake Bredenbeck in the final 15–2, 15–1. En route to the final, De La Rosa defeated Colombian Sebastian Franco in the quarterfinals, 15–5, 15–5, and Fernando Rios of Ecuador in the semi-finals, 15–12, 15–7. The win was De La Rosa's 2nd Pan American Championship in Men's Singles.

De La Rosa earned a silver medal at the 2016 Racquetball World Championships in Cali, Colombia, where he lost to Rocky Carson in the final, 15–11, 5–15, 11–5. He beat Luis Perez of the Dominican Republic in the quarterfinals, 15–6, 15–0, and then defeated Canadian Samuel Murray, 15–12, 15–7, in the semi-finals.

De La Rosa won his 2nd IRT event in January 2017, when he won the 39th Annual Lewis Drug Pro-Am in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He defeated Álvaro Beltrán in the final, 11–9, 11–4, 11–7, and then teamed up with Beltran to win the doubles title – with friend Beltran as his partner – by defeating Rocky Carson and Jose Diaz, 15–12, 15–14. That was one of three finals De La Rosa was in during the 2016–17 IRT season, and helped him finish 3rd again.

De La Rosa's 3rd career IRT title came in January 2018 at the LA Open in Canoga Park, California, where he defeated Jansen Allen in the quarterfinals, 15–2, 15–3, Rocky Carson in the semi-finals, 15–5, 15–7, and then got a forfeit win over Kane Waselenchuk in the final, as Waselenchuk injured his left knee during his semi-final match. He was in one other final in the 2017–18 season, but also lost four times in the Round of 16, which is the most losses he's had in the 16s. Thus, his ranking slipped a place to 4th at season's end.

De La Rosa won Men's Doubles with Álvaro Beltrán at the 2018 IRF World Championships in San José, Costa Rica. They defeated the US team of Rocky Carson and Sudsy Monchik, 10–15, 15–9, 11–2, in the final after beating Bolivians Roland Keller and Conrrado Moscoso in the semi-finals, 15–14, 15–8.

In 2018–19, De La Rosa was in three finals on the IRT, but failed to win any of them. He slid further down the rankings, finishing 6th at season's end.

First US Open victory – 2020–present

In the 2019–20 IRT season, De La Rosa was in two finals, winning the 42nd Lewis Drug Pro-Am in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he defeated Rocky Carson in the quarterfinals, 15–12, 15–11, Conrrado Moscoso in the semi-finals, 15–8, 15–11, and then Eduardo Portillo in the final, 15–14, 15–9. He also won Men's Doubles in Sioux Falls, as he and Álvaro Beltrán defeated Javier Mar and Rodrigo Montoya in the final, 15–13, 10–15, 11–2. Still, he finished 6th at season's end once again.

Then in 2021, De La Rosa won three consecutive IRT tournaments, including 2021 US Open, which was his first US Open title. The run began with a win in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, where he beat Conrrado Moscoso in the final, 15–7, 15–13, after defeating Eduardo Portillo, 15–5, 10–15, 11–2, in the semi-finals, and Andree Parrilla in the quarterfinals, 15–10, 15–10. It continued with a win at the Shamrock Shootout in Lombard, Illinois, where De La Rosa defeated Jake Bredenbeck in the final, 15–10, 13–15, 11–1, after defeating Samuel Murray, 15–10, 15–12, in the semi-finals. Again, he and Beltran won Men's Doubles beating Parrilla and Portillo in the final, 15–8, 15–8, after wins over Javier Mar and Rodrigo Montoya, 15–12, 15–11, in the semi-finals, and Sudsy Monchik and Kane Waselenchuk, 15–14, 15–14, in the quarterfinals.

title: Russian Orthodox Army

text:
The Russian Orthodox Army, ROA (, Russkaya pravoslavnaya armiya) was a Russian separatist paramilitary group in Ukraine that has been fighting Ukrainian forces in the Donbas war. It was founded in 2014. The ROA was later absorbed into the Oplot Fifth Separate Infantry Brigade.

Background

The Russian Orthodox Army was one of the number of pro-Russian separatist militia units in the Donbas region described as "pro-Tsarist", "extremist" Eastern Orthodox Christian.

Since the onset of insurgency in Ukraine in the early 2014, many central figures in Donetsk have been referred to be directly or indirectly related to Russian National Unity (RNU), most notably Pavel Gubarev, a prominent spokesman with multiple titles (leader of the Donbas militia, governor of the Donetsk People’s Republic, its foreign affairs minister, and the founder of the New Russia Party), who besides stating ROA was organised by RNU under his control also declared himself leader of the RNE section in Donetsk. Exactly when the RNE affiliates were created in Ukraine has not been possible to establish. Historian Marlène Laruelle states that while there are suspicions of former RNU-leader Barkashov being close to commander Verin, no reliable sources in Ukraine can verify that, and ROA's own Facebook page displayed no direct connection with RNE.

The ROA reportedly had 4,000 members according to Russian journalists, while eyewitnesses estimated their membership to be at 500.

Engagements

Notable engagements of the ROA include the June 2014 skirmishes in Mariupol and Amvrosiivka Raion. The headquarters of the ROA is located in an occupied Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) building in Donetsk city. Members had no special training apart from the usual conscription service in the army and swore allegiance to Igor Girkin ("Strelkov"), insurgent and Minister of Defence of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, as of January, 2017.

Religious persecution
Along with other separatist groups in the region, the ROA has been accused of "kidnapp[ing], beat[ing], and threaten[ing] Protestants, Catholics, and members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church… as well as participat[ing] in anti-Semitic acts."

In late November 2014, the group gained attention after abducting prominent Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest, Sergeii Kulbaka, and Roman Catholic priest, Father Pawel Witek. According to the Defence Ministry of Ukraine, the ROA has also been in conflict with another pro-Russian militia, the Vostok Battalion, which accused the ROA of looting, and of avoiding combat.

Aftermath

In September 2014, the ROA changed its format and joined the new Oplot Fifth Separate Infantry Brigade.

title: Brita von Horn

text:
Brita Clara Alice Augusta Florence von Horn (1 April 1886 – 14 February 1983) was a Swedish novelist, dramatist, director and theatre leader. She worked in the theatre scene in Stockholm and published several books.

Career
von Horn was born in Stockholm, Sweden and was the daughter of chamberlain Henning von Horn and baroness Florence Bonde. She was the aunt of major general Carl von Horn and colonel Jan von Horn. von Horn started several theatrical groups and was the first person to stage a play by Anton Chekhov in Sweden. In the early 1930s she started the Theater at Sveavägen, which however went bankrupt after only a few years. In 1940, she was a co-founder with Vilhelm Moberg and Helge Hagerman of the Dramatist Studio of Sweden (, Dramatikerstudion). The studio's first two plays were Ebbe Linde's Brudsporre and Dicte Sjögren's Pappersväggen.

As a writer, von Horn made her debut in 1912 with Lucrezia, subtitled "a drama from the days of the Renaissance in three acts". In 1917 her play Kring drottningen had its premiere at the Swedish Theatre with Pauline Brunius and Gösta Ekman in the lead roles. It was a success and launched her reputation. The first-ever broadcast by the Radio Theatre division of Sveriges Radio was of her play Kungens amour, broadcast on 11 January 1925. Between 1930 and 1941 she was a drama critic for the newspapers Östergötlands Dagblad and Arbetet. She also wrote articles and gave lectures throughout her life.

With Elsa Collin, a close friend with whom she shared a residence for a time and who was also involved in the Dramatist Studio, von Horn co-wrote a play for the group based on her book Aschebergskan på Wittskövle. However, the piece did not receive its first performance until 1944, some years after Collin's death, when it was first performed by the Dramatist Studio and shortly after as Ingmar Bergman's inaugural production at the Helsingborg City Theatre.

Von Horn died in 1983 a few months short of her 97th birthday.

title: Conservation and Environmental Research Areas of UMBC

text:
Conservation and Environmental Research Areas (CERA) of University of Maryland, Baltimore County is a nature preserve on the grounds of the UMBC campus in Baltimore, Maryland. The wooded area is located on the southern end of the campus and is bordered by bwtech@UMBC Research and Technology Park to the north, UMBC Boulevard to the west, Selford and Shelbourne Roads to the south, and athletic fields to the east. CERA is used for education purposes for programs at UMBC such as the departments of Geography and Environmental Systems.

History

President Freeman Hrabowski dedicated Conservation and Environmental Research Areas on Earth Day, April 22, 1997, "to further our understanding and appreciation of this natural landscape."

Description

CERA covers about 50 acres of the university landscape, and is located in two different areas. The larger tract, covering approximately 45 acres of the south end of the main campus, contains a wide variety of ecological conditions: mature upland forest, early- and mid- successional forest, and riparian and wetland environments. The second, and much smaller CERA area (about 3 acres), surrounds Pigpen Pond. There are also several areas within CERA where evidence of previous human occupancy and use can be found. In addition to teaching opportunities for faculty, CERA offers a wide range of opportunities for students and faculty to undertake short and long-term research projects in a variety of disciplines.

In 1912, Rodolfo Alcorta, a friend of Bourdelle, invited the sculptor to participate in a concours for the realization of this monument. He received the commission in 1913. The author took nearly ten years to complete the sculpture. Once finished the monument was shipped to Buenos Aires from France in 1925.

The sculpture and the pedestal of polished pink granite adorned with additional bronzes by the artist, stands in its current location since 12 October 1926.

Location

title: Aymestrey burial

text:
The Aymestrey burial was a beaker cist at Aymestrey, Herefordshire, England. The remains and objects are now in a recreated cist, at Leominster Museum.

Discovery
While working a gravel quarry at Aymestrey, in June 1987, employees of ARC unearthed a hole with a stone lining, and human remains visible within. They called in archaeologists from Hereford and Worcester County Council, who carried out an excavation and discovered a stone-lined burial pit containing the body of a child, lying on its left-hand side in a foetal position. Alongside the body were an earthenware bell beaker and a flint knife. The burial was dated to the Early Bronze Age.

Site
The site lies between the Iron Age hill forts at Pyon Wood and Croft Ambrey, and alongside a tributary of the River Lugg. A similar beaker burial site was also discovered in 1987 in Achavanich, Caithness, Scotland.

Recreation
The burial has been recreated as a display at Leominster Museum (pictured).

title: Blizzards Run

text:
Blizzards Run (also known as Blizzard Run or Blizzard's Run) is a tributary of Sechler Run in Montour County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately  long and flows through Mahoning Township and Danville. The watershed of the stream has an area of . The stream has two unnamed tributaries. Several businesses were historically located along it, and there was a spring nearby in the early 1900s.

Course

Blizzards Run begins in northeastern Mahoning Township. After less than a mile, it turns west and flows through Mechanicsville, receiving two unnamed tributaries from the right. Further on, it enters Danville, where it turns southwest. A short distance downstream, it turns south and reaches its confluence with Sechler Run.

Blizzards Run joins Sechler Run  upstream of its mouth.

Hydrology, geology, and geography
The runoff curve number at various sites on Blizzards Run ranged from 68.6 to 81.6 in 2010. The average runoff curve number between these sites was 74.9. The predicted runoff curve numbers of the stream for 2020 range from 69.5 to 82.0, with an average of 75.3. In 2010, the stormwater lag time ranged from 6.7 to 71.2 minutes, with an average of 27.3 minutes. In 2020, the predicted stormwater lag time ranges from 6.7 to 69.6 minutes, with an average of 26.8 minutes.

The elevation of Blizzards Run near its mouth is  above sea level. Near its source, the elevation of the stream is approximately  above sea level.

Watershed
The watershed of Blizzards Run has an area of .

Historically, there was a spring close to the corner of Mulberry Street and Pearl Street near Blizzards Run. A 1909 report noted that it had the potential to become polluted. The spring was little-used in the early 1900s. During freshets, the waters of the stream sometimes backed up into the spring. A reservoir is also located on the stream.

History
Blizzards Run is of natural origin.

In the 1800s, Blizzards Run experienced severe pollution. A number of drains connected to it and it served as an open sewer in this period. In the early 1900s, a plant belonging to the Hanover Brewing Company was based in the valley of Blizzards Run. A drain from a slaughterhouse also discharged into the stream during this period. The plant of the Danville Structural Tubing Company was situated at the mouth of the stream in the beginning of the 1900s.

In the early 1900s, Blizzards Run flowed under two railroads.

The Montour County Hazard Mitigation Plan includes erosion control along Blizzards Run to remedy flooding. In 2012, a number of residents of the Gaytowne subdivision filed a lawsuit against Mahoning Township for not following a subdivision plan and thus causing Blizzards Run to flood. The lawsuit was rejected by a Montour Count judge.

title: Nasser Hospital

text:
The Nasser Hospital (Nasser Medical Complex) is a hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Egyptian authorities began work on the Nasser Hospital in 1957, on the site of a quarantine and febrile disease hospital originally established in army barracks by the British Mandate government in the 1940s. The hospital opened its doors in 1960 and was named after Gamal Abdel Nasser.

In 1972 the hospital was closed for construction to double its capacity from 112 beds. The hospital reopened in February 1974. In December 1984, the Israeli authorities closed down the hospital's orthopedic department, claiming that it was contaminated, and transferred its activities to Al-Shifa Hospital.

title: Brampton Excelsiors Jr. B

text:
The Brampton Excelsiors are a Junior "B" box lacrosse team from Brampton, Ontario, Canada.  The Excelsiors play in the OLA Junior B Lacrosse League and are eligible to compete for the Founders Cup National Championship.  The Excelsiors are members of the same system of teams as the Major Excelsiors and the Junior A Excelsiors.

History

Announced October 16, 2011, the Excelsiors were admitted as an expansion team into the OJBLL for the 2012 season.

On April 22, 2012, the Jr. B Excelsiors played their first game, at home, with an 11–6 win over the Hamilton Bengals.  The Excelsiors finished the season with a 4-16 record and did not make the playoffs.

In their second season, the Excelsiors finished 10–10 and received the final playoff spot in their conference. In the conference quarter-final, they drew the undefeated, two-time defending national champion Six Nations Rebels. The Rebels won 15–5 and 17–5 to finish the Excelsiors' season and first playoff berth.

The 2014 season was filled with a summer-long battle against the Welland Generals and Owen Sound North Stars for the final playoff spot in the West.  Even though the final rankings were not determined until the final weekend of the season, the Generals topped both Owen Sound and Brampton for the final spot.

In the 2015 season, the Brampton Excelsiors were moved from the West division to the East division because Mimico's Jr B  was folded and became a Jr A team after moving from Mississauga.

title: Herbert Ward (sculptor)

text:
Herbert Ward (11 January 1863, London – 5 August 1919, Neuilly-sur-Seine) was a British sculptor, illustrator, writer, and explorer in Africa. He was a member of Henry Morton Stanley's Emin Pasha Relief Expedition and became a close friend of Roger Casement while they were working in the Congo Free State. Ward later became a sculptor and lived in France. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre, was twice mentioned in dispatches in World War I, was an officer of the Légion d'Honneur and a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors.

Early life
Ward left Mill Hill School at the age of 15 and travelled to New Zealand, spending the next three years in New Zealand and Australia. He was "in turn kauri-gum digger, coal and gold miner, stock-rider, circus performer and sail-maker". He spent a year as a cadet with the British North Borneo Company, but a bout of malaria forced him to return to England.

In the Congo

In 1884, Ward met Henry Morton Stanley in London, when he was interviewed for a post as an officer in the new Congo Free State, effectively a private colony of King Leopold of Belgium.  Stanley recommended Ward for a position, and he worked for the next two years along the upper and lower Congo River, where he first met Roger Casement. The latter was working on construction of a railroad to bypass the cataracts of the lower river. After being replaced by a Belgian officer, Ward joined the Sanford Exploring Company.

In March 1887, having left the Sanford Company, Ward was returning to England when he again encountered Stanley, who was assembling the Emin Pasha relief expedition.  Stanley appointed Ward as a lieutenant and placed him under the command of Major Edmund Barttelot in the expedition's rear column.  Stanley left the rear column, consisting of 250 porters and five officers, in June 1887, saying "I shall find you here in October when I return."  Because of Stanley's delays, the rear column remained at Yambuya by the Aruwimi River for the next 14 months, rather than 4. By that time, two of its officers and more than 100 of its porters had died.

An accomplished big game hunter, Ward was known in Bangala as Nkumbe, "the black hawk." He was also referred to as Mayala Mbemba, "the wings of an eagle", a tribute to a 40-mile trek he had accomplished in a single day on atrocious roads from Kimpete to Lukungu, Congo.

Ward left the Congo in early 1889. He never returned but "the enchantment of Africa held him nevertheless, dominating his future, shaping and colouring his life's work – the imprint of those five years was indelible".

Roger Casement

Ward first met Roger Casement in the Congo in 1884. They became close friends, a friendship which lasted 30 years, and he asked Casement to be the godfather of his youngest son.  Writing in 1910, Ward says:
Imagine a tall, handsome man, of fine bearing; thin, mere muscle and bone, a sun-tanned face, blue eyes and black curly hair.  A pure Irishman he is, with a captivating voice and singular charm of manner.   A man of distinction and great refinement, high-minded and courteous, impulsive and poetical.  Quixotic perhaps some would say, and with a certain truth, for few men have shown themselves so regardless of personal advancement.  Ward helped finance Edmund Morel's pamphlet The Congo Slave State (1903) and introduced him to Casement.  Describing Casement to Morel, Ward wrote: "No man walks this earth at the moment who is more absolutely good and honest and noble-minded". Ward subscribed as a supporter of the Congo Reform Association, which was founded by Casement and Morel.

Ward fell out with Casement because of his activities at the start of World War I. Casement traveled to Berlin to solicit German help for an armed Irish uprising for independence, at a time when the British government would be immersed in war. Ward wrote "the enormity of his action is beyond exaggeration.  He is a traitor pure and simple ...  I have made up my mind to turn him down forever".  He fulfilled his threat, refusing to sign the petition for clemency that was organised in 1916 by writer Arthur Conan-Doyle after Casement was condemned to death for treason. Joseph Conrad, a fellow officer with Ward of the Sanford Exploring Company and then a friend of Casement, also refused to sign.  Ward arranged for the name of his youngest son (Casement's godson) to be changed by deed poll from Roger Casement Ward to Rodney Sanford Ward.

The artist

On his return to England in 1889, Ward at first made a living on the lecture circuit.  As a result of his childhood friendship with Alfred Harmsworth, he also worked as a journalist. He traveled with and reported on Fridtjoft Nansen's Fram expedition and the Jackson-Harmsworth Expedition.

His main ambition was to become an artist: he had already published many of the drawings and water-colours he made in Africa in Five Years with the Congo Cannibals.  He became a pupil successively of Jules Lefebvre and of Seymour Lucas RA.  In the 1890s he exhibited six times at the Royal Academy summer exhibition.

In 1899, deciding that sculpture was where his real talents lay, he apprenticed to Goscombe John RA before moving permanently to work in France.  He received a mention honourable in 1901 at the Salon des Artistes Français for his first sculpture, An Aruwimi Type; in 1908 he won the salon's gold medal for Le Chef de Tribu. He won another gold medal in 1910.

Theodore Roosevelt wrote of him: "There is in Paris no more interesting character than Herbert Ward ...  All the mystery and the savagery and the suffering and the ugliness and the harsh beauty of the African forest come out in Mr Ward's works.  Only an artist could have done what he has done, and no artist could have done it had there not lain within him the soul of a great man, a man both strong and pitiful."

Ward's auction record is £50,000, set at Bonham's auction house, London, on 30 January 2019, for An Aruwimi Type, of c1901.

War service

By the time World War I broke out, Ward was too old to enlist in the army. He converted his family home at Rolleboise, Seine-et-Oise, into a field hospital, with 20 beds. He served as a lieutenant with the No 3 convoy of the British Ambulance Committee, which operated under the French army at Gérardmer in the Vosges. He was wounded at the front and mentioned in dispatches in 1915; he was awarded the Croix de Guerre by France for his work removing wounded soldiers whilst under bombardment. He died, partly as a result of his injuries, in August 1919.

Family
Ward's father was Edwin Ward, a taxidermist. Edwin's brother was noted taxidermist Rowland Ward.  Herbert's grandfather, Henry Ward, travelled with John James Audubon on his 1831–32 collecting visit to South Carolina and Florida in the southern United States.

After returning to England from the Congo, in 1890 Ward married an American, Sarita Sanford (1860–1944). She was the daughter of Charles Henry Sanford (1840–1928), a wealthy financier and his wife.

The Wards had five children together:

 Sarita Enriqueta (1891–1985), who married 1) Sir Colville Barclay and 2) Robert Vansittart, 1st Baron Vansittart.
 Frances (1893–1988), wife of Sir Eric Phipps.
 Charles Sanford (1896–1916), killed on the Western Front at Neuve Chapelle while serving as a lieutenant with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
 Herbert Sanford (1898–1987), he had joined the Royal Flying Corps aged 17 and was shot down over the western front, later escaping to Switzerland.  He later became a clergyman and minister,
 Rodney Sanford (né Roger Casement) (1901–1922). Ward had named this son after his friend Roger Casement but had his name officially changed after Casement's conviction and execution as a traitor because of activities with Irish Republicans against the UK.

Ward is buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

title: Sherry She Needs Me

text:
"Sherry She Needs Me" (also known as "Sandy" or "Sandy She Needs Me") is a song written in 1965 by Brian Wilson and Russ Titelman for the American rock band the Beach Boys. The recording was not released until decades later. As a solo artist in 1998, Wilson completed the song with lyric changes by Carole Bayer Sager; it was renamed "She Says That She Needs Me" and released on his album Imagination.

A tender and poignant love ballad, AllMusic cited "She Says That She Needs Me" as one of the finest tracks on Imagination, writing: "this song captures Wilson's unique and heartfelt balladeer style with extreme effectiveness. The melody is one of Wilson's most beautiful, and this arrangement (loaded with tasteful yet dramatic horns and strings) clearly bears this out. A dramatic, minor-key bridge only adds to the lushness. Lyrically, it's also a great example of Wilson's literate, artless style."

Background
The song began as one of two collaborations between Brian Wilson and Russ Titelman during the mid-1960s, the other being "Guess I'm Dumb" which was successfully recorded and released as a single by Glen Campbell.

Recording
The song was initiated during sessions for the Beach Boys' 1965 album Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!). Two versions of the instrumental were recorded with the name "Sandy" or "Sandy She Needs Me". After rough vocals were added on one of these instrumentals, the track lay dormant for several years. Sometime in August 1970, the master tape was transferred from three-track tape to 16-track, although there exists no evidence of any overdubs recorded at that time. On August 21, 1976, Brian retrieved the track, renamed it "Sherry She Needs Me", and overdubbed a lead vocal shortly before sessions for the group's 1977 album Love You. According to archivist Craig Slownski, "While the lead vocal starts out gruff, it eventually soars, proving that even in 1976 Brian was capable of near-crystal shattering 1965-style falsetto singing, when he felt like it." It was abandoned once again after being briefly considered for inclusion in an early track listing for the ultimately rejected Adult/Child LP.

In 1978, the song was rewritten and rerecorded as "Tricia" with lead vocals by Mike Love for his scrapped solo album First Love, and remains unreleased. Titelman reportedly "took another stab" at "Sherry She Needs Me" with Brian as they worked together on his 1988 debut solo album Brian Wilson, renaming it "Terry She Needs Me".

Release
Brian revisited the song a final time in 1998, when it was completed as "She Says That She Needs Me" with modified lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager on the album Imagination.

In 2013, the song was released in a digitally altered form for the group's box set Made in California. It mashed up the unfinished vocals by Brian overdubbed in 1976 with Beach Boys vocals from an alternate 1965 take. Compiler Mark Linett elaborated "That’s a 1965 instrumental track with a 1976 vocal. They were considering finishing the song and putting it on the Love You album. It got as far as Brian adding a lead vocal. That’s happened a lot where they go back to a song from years ago."

title: 1907 Aberdare Urban District Council election

text:
The Aberdare Urban District Council was established in 1894 and covered the parish of Aberdare. Its responsibilities included public health, sanitation, roads and public works generally.

There were five wards, namely Aberaman (also known as No. 5 Ward), Blaengwawr (also known as No. 4 Ward), Gadlys (also known as No. 2 Ward), Llwydcoed (also known as No. 1 Ward), and the Town Ward (also known as No. 3 Ward).  Originally, one member was elected from each ward on an annual basis, but from 1904 an additional member was granted to each ward, resulting in the election of ten members, out of a total of twenty, every three years. At the intervening election, one member continued to be elected.

An election was held in March 1907. It was preceded by the 1906 election and followed by the 1908 election. The term of office of members elected at the 1904 election came to an end and those elected were to serve until 1910.

title: Adriaan Jozef Heymans

text:
Adriaan Jozef  Heymans (or Adrien-Joseph Heymans; 11 June 1839 in Antwerp – December 1921 in Brussels) was a Belgian impressionist landscape painter.

Biography

His father was a trader in window-glass, who died when Heymans was only seven. Afterward, he was partly raised by his uncle, the mayor of Wechelderzande, a small village near Antwerp, where he first learned to appreciate nature.

In 1853, he entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp, where he studied under Jacob Jacobs, later attending the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, but he always considered himself to be essentially self-taught. During a stay in Paris from 1855 to 1858, he was strongly influenced by the Barbizon School. By the time of the Brussels Salon in 1860, he was turning toward impressionism.

He soon returned to Wechelderzande and began painting plein air, both there and in the vicinity of Kalmthout. Many other painters came to the Kempen area seeking inspiration; often living in tent camps and waiting for the desired lighting effects. Together with , Théodore Baron, Jacques Rosseels (1828-1912) and Florent Crabeels, he helped found what was known as the "" of painting, also known as the "Grey School" because of their preference for grey and silvery shades. He is also considered to be a member of the "" and the "", because he was active in those areas.

In 1869, he married and settled in Brussels, where he was a c0-founder of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts and several artists' associations. In 1881, he became an officer in the Order of Leopold and was named a Knight in the French Legion of Honor.

Sometime in the 1890s, he returned to Kalmthout and his style slowly evolved into a form of realism with occasional touches of pointillism to accentuate the colors. By 1913, his health had deteriorated so much that he was forced to give up painting.

title: Dovolan

text:
Dovolan () is a village in the former Maqellarë Municipality in Dibër County in northeastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Dibër. It is located near the Macedonian border, on the mountain Dešat.

History
Dovolan (Dovoljani) appears in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a settlement with a total of five households. The anthroponymy attested depicts a mixed character with typical Albanian names appearing alongside more general Christian ones, although Slavic influences and Slavicisation are also present: Gjon Bazovići; Gjure, son of Andrija; Dimitri Koleci; Petka son of Popi; and Gjure, brother of Gjoni.

A demographic study published in 1878, reflecting statistics of the male population from 1873, stated that the village's population consisted of 40 households with 94 Bulgarian Christians and 53 Slavic Muslims.

Two members of the Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps, Kiril Martinov and Kosto Ivanov, were natives of Dovolani.

During the first World War occupying Austro-Hungarian forces conducted a census (1916-1918) of parts of Albania they held and of Dovolan its ethnic demographics they recorded 259 Albanians, 44 Bulgarians, 136 others, 5 Romani while its religious composition was 258 Muslims and 51 Orthodox Christians. Linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli consider the overall census results to be accurate and reflective of much of the ethnic and religious demographics of the area during that time, however noting that the then identity of the Orthodox Slavic speaking populace was fluid as reflected in census declarations. Toward the end of the 1920s the Orthodox Slavic speaking population was located in only two villages of the Maqellarë area, Kërçisht i Epërm and Herebel while in the 1930s the population decline of Orthodox Slavophones continued.

A 1930 report listed the village of Dovolan as having 50 houses.

During the 2000s linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli seeking to corroborate villages cited in past literature as being Slavic speaking carried out fieldwork in villages of the area. Linguists Steinke and Ylli also noted that unlike the Gollobordë region, the villages of the Maqellarë administrative unit area do not have any Muslim Slavic speaking inhabitants.

title: Blek

text:
Blek is a 2013 puzzle video game for iOS and Android by Kunabi Brother, a team of brothers Denis and Davor Mikan. The player draws a snakelike black line that recurs in pattern and velocity across the screen to remove colored dots and avoid black dots. It is minimalist in design, features excerpts of Erin Gee, and takes inspiration from Golan Levin, the Bauhaus, and Japanese calligraphy. The brothers designed the game as a touchscreen adaptation of the Snake concept and worked on the game for over six months. It was released in December 2013 for iPad, and was later released for other iOS devices and Android.

The game received positive reviews, and critics praised the game's degree of unrestricted play. The game reached the top of the Apple App Store charts several months after its release. It received a 2014 Apple Design Award, and has sold over one million copies.

Gameplay

Blek is a puzzle game in which the player draws a "snake-like" black line on the screen that is recorded and played back like a pattern, recurring repeatedly across the screen. The object is to draw a line such that it will remove colored dot targets when it repeats across the screen without hitting a black dot. Lines that travel off the top or bottom of the screen reset the level, while lines that travel off the left or right of the screen reflect back towards the dots. Aside from repeating the player's drawn pattern, the stroke mimics the player's pace in drawing the stroke.

The game begins with no prompt or tutorial other than to use a finger on the screen and experiment. The first puzzles are "on open, white canvasses" where the player can solve the simple puzzles "by accident". The 80 levels progress in difficulty and require more complex solutions. Added elements include a "chain reaction" dot that launches other dots when struck. Its sound consists of a "whoosh" that accompanies the traveling stroke, a "chime" when colored dots are hit, and a human "disappointed grumble" when black dots are hit, resetting the level.

The game is depicted in flat, plain colors, with no pause feature and no option menu other than Game Center achievements. Players navigate between puzzles using three small onscreen icons. There are no in-app purchases or in-game advertisements.

Development

Blek was built for iOS by brothers Denis and Davor Mikan. While both had coding experience, neither were game developers by trade. This was their first game together as Kunabi Brother. Denis had published short stories and a novel, and Davor released music on independent media label Crónica Electrónica. Davor previously made Flash games and developed the idea for Blek from this experience. He approached Denis about converting the video game Snake for touchscreens, and Denis returned with the idea of "a line representing an idea that springs to life after it has been drawn". This thought was likely inspired by the calligraphy and ink drawings in a book by Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō that Denis was reading. They had several prototypes by mid-2013, when Davor joined a Parisian artist in residence program, where he felt he was treated differently when he introduced himself as a game developer instead of as a musician. This experience invigorated his interest in the game medium and led to the brothers' push to finish the game over the next six months.

 The Austrian brothers' main influences were Golan Levin's 1998 interactive Yellowtail and Wassily Kandinsky's Point and Line to Plane book, from his time teaching at the Bauhaus. The sound design uses excerpts from Erin Gee's "Yamaguchi Mouthpiece I", and their game design influences include Thatgamecompany and Patrick Smith of Vectorpark and Windosill, though they felt that other games did not singularly influence Blek design. They were interested in video games as toys and "as meaningful experiences". The game was written in the Unity game engine and tested by the developers' friends. Since the core game mechanics were set, their feedback pertained to the level design. As their primary interests were in a "unification of art, craft, and technology", the game had no public relations or marketing campaign and its creators expressed little interest in the app's business and marketing, though they did share the game directly with media outlets.

Blek was released for iPad in December 2013, and an iPhone and iPod Touch version followed on January 7, 2014. Four months after the release, they reinvested their earnings from the game into marketing. After a few YouTube campaigns, Blek was listed in Apple's App Store lists. An Android version was released in July. Kunabi Brother are not planning a sequel, though they intend to further "experiment with touchscreens".

Blek+ was released on Apple Arcade in April 2021 as a "Timeless Classic", a set of re-released games made available through the service.

Reception

Blek received "generally favorable reviews", according to video game review score aggregator Metacritic. Though the game first released in December 2013 to little fanfare, critics "widely praised" the game, and it became popular in April 2014. It appeared in the top ten paid App Store games chart in April, reached the top by May, and was listed into June. Blek received a 2014 Apple Design Award and was featured in their Indie Game Showcase. While it had sold 30,000 copies by February 2014, upon being featured in the App Store, it sold 500,000 copies by May, and over a million copies by June. Edge compared its aesthetic to iOS puzzle game Hundreds. Reviewers praised the game for the amount of freedom it affords its players.

 Edge called Blek "a thing of elegant, intuitive beauty". They compared it to a "modernist, freeform, touchscreen" Snake, albeit much calmer, and described Blek as less a puzzle game than "pure intuition" and "an act of freeform creation" that privileged the process of experimentation over the goal of solving puzzles. The magazine wrote that the trial and error, muddling process of refining one's stroke led to delightful discoveries that turned "maddening" complex prospects into "natural" solutions. In a piece for Polygon, Rod Green compared Blek to Tetris and Threes! as a "simple premise, beautifully executed" that lends towards imitation, and added that the game would be harder to "clone" than the others due to its handmade levels. Kotaku Mike Fahey called it "the most brilliant iPad game" he played in 2013.

Christian Donlan of Eurogamer wrote that the game is personal. He compared its core mechanics to handwriting and doodling, noting that the recurring stroke also captures the player's "speed and hesitancy". Donlan wrote that the game is "lots of kinds of puzzle games" as the player may read negative spacing or try to predict the motion of a reflected stroke, and compared the later stages to mazes or minefields. Shaun Musgrave of TouchArcade noted that the game's difficulty increases around level 20, where player precision is required, and considered this part a low point. He felt that the small margin of error in later levels lent towards frustration. Jared Nelson of the same website wrote that the game was uniquely suited for the touchscreen.
