Tenth Street is a street in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia.

Route and Points of Interest

History

Tight Squeeze
The area around what is now Tenth and Peachtree Streets began as Tight Squeeze, a lawless shantytown during the period following the American Civil War. It consisted of shanties, together with a blacksmith shop and several small wooden stores, beside a 30-foot-deep ravine, still visible to the east of Peachtree north of 10th Street.

During the desperate times after the Civil War, the hungry, homeless, wounded, and hopeless filled Atlanta's streets. The ravine became a rest stop to both freedmen and displaced Confederate veterans, some who had been left morphine addicts.

Just north of the ravine where Peachtree crossed a country road (now 14th Street), was a wagon yard, where freight was unloaded, destined for the merchants in the city, which lay further south. Merchants on their way to the wagon yard and carrying the cash that the freight companies demanded, or merchants returning with wagons loaded with goods, slowed to circumvent the ravine.  Tight Squeeze's residents, as well as professional highwaymen, attacked merchants and robbed them of their merchandise and cash. It was said that it "took a mighty tight squeeze to get through with one's life," the origin of the settlement's name. Desperation inspired rowdyism and "lewd vagrancy". John Plaster was a member of a pioneer farm family for whom Plaster's Bridge Road was named (now Piedmont Road). In 1866 at the age of 35, he was murdered in Tight Squeeze after delivering a load of firewood to customers in Atlanta.

Blooming Hill
In the late 1800s the area was rechristened Blooming Hill and consisted of elegant single-family houses. By 1872 the Atlanta Constitution called it "a considerable little town outside the corporate limits of Atlanta" which had two grocery stores.  Blooming Hill is commemorated by a sculpture at the Hyatt Midtown hotel. During this period 10th Street was also known as Bleckley Avenue. By 1883 the area was rechristened "North Atlanta".

Tenth Street Shopping District
From the 1920s to the early 1960s the area was an upscale shopping area, the first major one outside the Central District (Downtown Atlanta), attracting customers from affluent neighborhoods throughout the city.

The Strip
The 1959 opening of Lenox Square and 1964 opening of Ansley Mall lowered sales in the Shopping District. The area became a famous hippy hangout and acquired the name of The Strip. By 1967 the hippy movement had been seriously repressed and the area stagnated. Many businesses were set on fire (arson) and many buildings were torn down to make way for parking lots.

Today
Today Tenth Street west of Piedmont Avenue is an integral part of the Midtown Core high-rise business and residential district.

title: Panaque schaeferi

text:
Panaque schaeferi is a freshwater species of fish from the South American armoured catfish family Loricariidae. Panaque schaeferi is widely distributed throughout the upper Amazon (Solimões River) in Peruvian and Ecuadorian rivers, and it has been observed as far down as Santarém, Brazil. Growing to at least 60 cm (23.6 inches) SL, it is one of the largest, and likely one of the heaviest species of Loricariid. It has been known in the aquarium trade since at least 1996 under various names such as 'Titanic pleco' and 'Volkswagen pleco' (due to its resemblance to the VW Beetle car), in addition to L203 and LDA065 under the L-number code. Juveniles are often confused with Panaque bathyphilus and erroneously called L090c.

The fish is named in honor of Scott A. Schaefer of the American Museum of Natural History. Additionally, he is the ichthyological editor of Copeia for his many contributions to ichthyology in general, and in particular to the understanding of the Loricarioidea.

title: Vesta longifolia

text:
Vesta is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, formally described in 2018. It contains only one known species, Vesta longifolia, native to Perak in Peninsular Malaysia and to Brunei and Sarawak on the island of Borneo.

Taxonomy

Taxonomic history
The species Vesta longifolia (Ridl.) S.Y.Wong was first described as Schismatoglottis longifolia Ridl. in 1902. Later, the genus Hestia S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce was proposed in 2010 for this species and it was then known as Hestia longifolia (Ridl.) S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce. However, Hestia now considered a Nomen illegitimum. This is due to the fact, that the generic name Hestia has already been given to a fossil lycopsid. Since the new generic name was not accepted, the new genus Vesta S.Y.Wong was described in 2018, and the single species is since known as Vesta longifolia (Ridl.) S.Y.Wong.

title: Lissens Goods station

text:
Lissens Goods station or Lissens Sidings station was a railway freight facility located approximately two miles north-east of Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland. It served the industrial and agricultural requirements for transportation in the vicinity of Auchenmade and the surrounding rural area on behalf of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway. Lissens Goods was around seven miles from the Lugton East Junction and the railway workers employed here were supervised by staff from the nearby Auchenmade Station, the nearest passenger and goods station on the up line towards Lugton and Glasgow.

Although a remote location today the facility would have had freight transport business in the form of lime for the fields, cattle, horse and sheep movements, milk and cheese delivery, mining and quarrying related items, etc. with other sidings in the vicinity, namely Lylestone.

Infrastructure
The OS maps of 1896 and 1910 show a fairly significant infrastructure for such a remote location with the double track main line and three sidings running off to a loading dock and what may have been a goods shed. A brick built 16 lever (in 1919) signal box was situated on the main line with six semaphore signal posts, two ground disc signals, a weighing machine, a cistern, a row of three workers cottages and a square outside toilet block and coal shed. Nearby Lylestone siding had a two lever groundframe.

History

As stated Lissens Goods station lay down the line towards Ardrossan, supervised by staff at Auchenmade Station and closed at the same time as the goods facility at Auchenmade, the passenger station here having finally closed in 1932. Goods trains ran along this line until 30 March 1953. Boat trains to Ardrossan ran along this line until 1939.

By 1958 the sidings had been lifted although the signal box was still marked and only a single track was still present on the main line.

A feature of WWII was the use of the line for what locals called the night time 'Ghost Trains' that carried injured service personnel to the Glasgow hospitals from where they had been landed at the port of Ardrossan.

The goods station at Lissens opened on 3 September 1888 and closed on 17 December 1950.

Opened by the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway, then joining the Caledonian Railway it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923.

Workings details

The May 1915 'Appendix' to the Caledonian Railway Working Timetable states of the Lylestone Siding that - This Siding will be worked by Up Trains only. It is controlled by a Staff Key which is kept in charge of the Signalman at Lissens Siding. When a train which is to work Lylestone Siding arrives at Lissens, it must be stopped at the signal Box, when the Engine will be detached, and the Brakesman in charge will see that the Train is secured by the Van Brake being hard on, and the Front wagons held by Sprags in their wheels. The Brakesman in charge will then get the Staff Key from the signalman, and go forward to Lylestone Siding with the Engine and any Wagons there may be for the Siding, and he will work the points as required. After the work is finished, and Sidings points properly set for the Main Line, the Engine will propel the Wagons taken from Lylestone Siding on the Up Line to Lissens, where they will be run into the Siding by gravitation. The Brakesman will return with the engine to Lissens, and will hand the Staff key back to the Signalman, after which the ordinary working will resume.

Tyre burning facility
A WW2 'Tyre Burning Facility' was located very near to Lissens Goods that may have provided war time traffic for the goods station. Later the site of the South Lissens Pottery, local intelligence has it that a munitions depot was located here and that the large number of tyres waiting to be processed were actually to camouflage the depot. Ruins of the facility are still (2014) located in one of the South Lissens Farm fields.

The site today
The row of three railway workers cottages survive as private residences and the loading dock is still a prominent structure in this otherwise somewhat featureless landscape near Lissens Moss. The railway fencing and gate survive as does the substantial road overbridge. The signalbox's old chimney partly remains as do the foundations and the cistern.

title: Coshish

text:
Coshish is a Hindi progressive rock band from Mumbai, formed in 2006. Their debut album Firdous was released via Universal Music India and they are currently working on a box set, which will be released later this year. The band believes that their music should have mass appeal and yet showcase their musical dexterity. Their songs are as simple as they are complex and carry strong social messages, delivered through Hindi lyrics. The members endorse Mapex Drums, Paiste Cymbals, Blade Guitars, ESP Basses and Laney Amplifiers.

History
In 2006, Coshish started out as a singer/songwriter duo consisting Mangesh Gandhi (guitars/vocals) and Shrikant Sreenivasan (guitars). They recruited a drummer and bassist from the local rock scene to form an alternative rock quartet and began competing at band competitions at various colleges. By early 2008, after a couple of line-up changes, Coshish was joined by Hamza Kazi on drums and Anish Nair on bass, becoming a progressive rock outfit.

Coshish's performed frequently at various clubs and released HD quality live videos of their performances and that eventually lead them to album deal with Universal Music India.

Their debut album Firdous was released on 2 September 2013, after being in the making for about four years. It was recorded, mixed and produced by Zorran Mendonsa from New Zealand and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street in Sweden. The album artwork was a collaboration between Bernard Dumaine from France and Daeve Fellows from Canada with additional packaging photography and graphics by Bharath Chandrasekhar and Imran Ladak from India.

The anticipation for Firdous was so high that they set a record number of pre-orders on Flipkart, India's premiere E-tail website. It eventually made it to No. 8 on iTunes India and No. 28 on Nokia Music Store India.

A music video for their first single "Raastey" was released on the band's VEVO Channel on 25 October 2013. The concept of the video is a continuation of the story of Firdous, which can be decoded by the listener by putting together pieces of the puzzle that are present throughout the album and its packaging. The video was aired frequently on MTV India and MTV Indies since its launch in March 2014. "Raastey" was the song of the day on 1 April 2014 on MTV Indies and on 6 October 2013 on 8 Octaves, a local website focusing on Indie Music. It was also listed in the "Top 25 Tracks of 2013" by Rock Street Journal and in "9 Impressive Indie Music Videos" by Soundtree Magazine.

Their second music video for their song "Bhula Do Unhey" was released on 19 March 2014. It acts as the final piece of the puzzle. A third music video for their song "Hum Hai Yahin", sponsored by Nokia India, was released on the same day as "Bhula Do Unhey". It was shot entirely on a Nokia Lumia 1520.

The band is currently working on a limited edition DVD Box Set, which will be released later this year.

In July 2015, they co-organized and co-curated (with Rainburn) the progressive rock music festival Progworks.

title: Hand i hand

text:
"Hand i hand" is a song written by Magnus Uggla, and performed by him on his 1983 album Välkommen till folkhemmet. The chorus are taken from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's violin concert. The song's lyrics reflect upon the hippie movement during the political left-wave in the Western World during the years around 1970. Living for 10 years inside a flat at Västerlånggatan in Gamla stan, Uggla would sometimes be awakened by songs like El Cóndor Pasa. He would sometimes reply by playing heavy metal.

Other version
In 1998, a new version was released, together with Dogge Doggelito, peaking at number 47 on the Swedish Singles Chart.

In popular culture
Within the world of sports, the chorus is sometimes used as a cheering chant. It is sung:
Heja X-lag, tillsammans skall vi kämpa på. Krossa Y-lag. Vi älskar X-lag.
meaning:
Go X-team, together, we'll fight. Crush Y team. We love X team.

title: Terrafugia TF-X

text:
The Terrafugia TF-X is an autonomous flying car under development by Boston-based Terrafugia. The TF-X seats four passengers and uses an engine combined with two electric motors for propulsion. Unlike the previously proposed Transition, the TF-X is capable of vertical take-off and landing by extending its retractable wings attached with pusher propellers, while aerial thrust is provided by a ducted fan at the rear. It will be able to fit in a single car garage.

Powered by two plug-in hybrid 600-horsepower electric motors and a 300-horsepower fuel engine, the TF-X is planned to have a flight range of 500 miles  (805 km) with a cruising flight speed of 200 mph (322 km/h) without the need to refuel or recharge. Road speed is currently unknown.

Design and development

Terrafugia started development of the TF-X in 2013 and the updated design of the exterior was done in 2014 by Vedran Martinek, an Automotive Designer from Croatia. When in flight, the TF-X is effectively autonomous, with the computer able to navigate to a pre-specified landing zone—and pre-selected backup landing zones—by itself, although manual controls and overrides exist. Final landing must be approved by the pilot. The TF-X will also provide operators the choice to fly in either manual or automatic during flight with the ability to control the vehicle in a manner similar to steering the wheel of an automobile. Terrafugia claims that learning to drive the TF-X is likely to take five hours and will take substantially less time to learn how to safely operate than a traditional aircraft.

Safety features

The TF-X is expected to be capable of avoiding air traffic, bad weather, and restricted and tower-controlled airspace. For additional safety features, the TF-X would automatically land at the nearest airport if the operator becomes unresponsive. Additionally, if a TF-X operator declares an emergency, the authorities will be automatically notified of the situation and the TF-X can be landed in a non-approved landing zone. The TF-X also features a backup full vehicle parachute system that can be activated if the operator believes the vehicle is incapable of auto-landing.

Pricing

Pricing is expected to be upwards of £200,000 (roughly $300,000).

title: 2014 Rio de Janeiro gubernatorial election

text:
The Rio de Janeiro gubernatorial election was held on 5 October 2014 to elect the next governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Since no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, a second-round runoff election was held on the 26th of October.  Incumbent Governor Luiz Fernando Pezão, who was running for his first full term, was forced into the runoff against Marcelo Crivella but ultimately won.

Campaign
On December 2, 2013, Governor Sergio Cabral Filho announced he would be stepping down as Governor on March 31, 2014 in order to pursue an ultimately-unlaunched bid for the Brazilian Senate.  With his election in 2010, Cabral enjoyed high approval ratings until the 2013 protests in Brazil severely damaged his popularity.  Following Cabral's resignation, Vice Governor Luiz Fernando Pezão succeeded him and announced his intent to run in the 2014 election.

Other candidates had launched their candidacies prior to Cabral's resignation: former Governor Anthony Garotinho of the Republic Party in April 2012 and Senator Lindberg Farias of the PT in November 2012.

Runoff endorsements
On October 7, Marcelo Crivella received an endorsement from third place candidate Anthony Garotinho.  He also received endorsements from fourth place finisher Lindberg Farias and the state branch of the Workers Party (PT) in an announcement made by state party president Washington Quaquá.  The PT, however is divided in this decision.  Nine of the ten PT mayors in the state are supporting Pezão, the exception being Quaquá (Mayor of Maricá).  PT supporters of Pezão include Niterói Mayor Rodrigo Neves and State Deputy Carlos Minc.

On October 12, Luiz Fernando Pezão received the endorsement of newly elected Senator Romário, while the state branch of the PSB decided to not endorse either candidate.

Gabriele Nebe (born 1967) is a German mathematician with contributions in the theory of lattices, modular forms, spherical designs, and error-correcting codes. With Neil Sloane, she maintains the Online Catalogue of Lattices. She is a professor in the department of mathematics at RWTH Aachen University.

Education
Nebe earned a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1995 from RWTH Aachen University. Her dissertation, Endliche Rationale Matrixgruppen vom Grad 24 concerned the theory of finite matrix groups and was supervised by Wilhelm Plesken.

Research
Nebe is known for using integral representations of finite groups to construct explicit examples of discrete mathematical structures using computer algebra systems. Her constructions include extremal even unimodular lattices in 48, 56, and 72 dimensions and an extremal 3-modular lattice in 64 dimensions. These lattices represent the densest known sphere packings and the highest known kissing numbers in these dimensions. Her discovery of an extremal unimodular lattice in 72 dimensions settled a long open problem.

title: No Pants Day

text:
The No Pants Day is an annual event in various countries. It is held on the first Friday in May.  It involves publicly wearing just undergarments on the lower part of the body.

History
A small campus club at University of Texas at Austin known as the Knighthood of Buh thought that dropping trousers on the first Friday of May was a humorous stunt for the end of the semester. Informal for years, promotion efforts began in 2000. The event attracted attention in other states and several parts of Canada as well as France, Sweden, Australia, Finland, and Britain.

2021 celebration by comic strips
More than 25 comic strips observed No Pants Day on May 7, 2021, to encourage readers to donate to charities such as Dress for Success and Room to Grow, which provide clothes to those who need them.

title: Joey Killer

text:
"Joey Killer" is a song written and recorded by Magnus Uggla for his 1986 studio album Den döende dandyn.

The song's lyrics depict an era where heavy metal had become popular, and shows a typical "metalhead" trying to act tough, really wanting to be with his mother.

Many people thought Joey Killer was intended to be Joey Tempest from the band Europe, but Uggla said that he got the idea from seeing Ola Håkansson during a rehearsal with Noice, playing "I natt e hela stan vår" loud, when the door suddenly was opened up, and his mother stood there with buns and chocolate.

Chart performance
The single topped the Swedish singles chart between 24 September and 5 November 1986, becoming Uggla's first number-one single in Sweden.

The song also charted at Trackslistan for five weeks between 20 September 1986 – 17 January 1987, topping the chart during the second and third position. The song also charted at Svensktoppen for nine weeks between 12 October–7 December 1986, peaking at second position during the six first weeks. With the song, Uggla had reached both Svensktoppen and Trackslistan for the first time.

SpongeBob SquarePants 4D: The Great Jelly Rescue (often referred to as SpongeBob SquarePants 4D or simply The Great Jelly Rescue) is a 4-D film attraction and successor to SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D. It follows SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy as they rescue the jellyfish of Jellyfish Fields from Plankton's evil clutches.

Plot
The ride begins with the French narrator telling the audience to put away any recording devices, and that SpongeBob will be their tour guide through Jellyfish Fields. The audience then "dives" underwater in a submarine, hitting an anchor in the process. The submarine arrives in Jellyfish Fields, where SpongeBob and Patrick sing "The Jellyfishing Song," from SpongeBob's Last Stand," while catching jellyfish. Sandy then shows up with her net launcher to catch the jellyfish. SpongeBob notices that the jellyfish have disappeared, and a huge swarm of them attack the trio, launching them into the air.

The jellyfish get sucked inside a large truck, and SpongeBob discovers that the truck driver is Plankton. The trio chase after the truck, as it launches itself into the air. Plankton then shoves his face against the audience and tells them that he plans to drain the jellyfish of their electricity and use it to destroy The Krusty Krab. He then uses an electrified-cannon to electrocute the trio and leaves.

After SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy recover from the electricity, the Flying Dutchman arrives in his ghost ship, and blames them for the soot that Plankton's truck is producing. The Dutchman pulls SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy into his ship, and sentences them to the "Perfume Department," and get perfume sprayed onto them (a reference to Shanghaied). Unaffected by the perfume, Sandy explains to the Dutchman that Plankton is responsible and the Flying Dutchman takes the trio into the cannon room to stop him. Patrick looks through a telescope to see Plankton zapping The Krusty Krab.

The Flying Dutchman launches a cannonball with Patrick's net, realizing that it's attached to his leg. SpongeBob and Sandy hold onto him while launching, and they land at SpongeBob's house. The trio then gets pulled into downtown Bikini Bottom and The Krusty Krab, crashing into Plankton's truck, destroying it, and freeing all of the jellyfish. Before Plankton can flee, a jellyfish shoots him with Sandy's net launcher, defeating him. Sandy then finds out that SpongeBob has absorbed the soot into his body, then he releases it. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that his break is over, and goes back inside The Krusty Krab. SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy all say goodbye to the audience as they sing "The Jellyfishing Song," and the submarine leaves the ocean floor.

title: San Carlo al Lazzaretto, Milan

text:
San Carlo al Lazzaretto is a small Renaissance style octagonal church now in largo Bellintani Fra Paolo, number 1 in the quartiere Porta Venezia of Milan. It is located about three blocks northwest of the Porta Venezia. Its present situation, amidst crowded 19th and 20th century apartment blocks, has little relationship to its original placement, in the central park of a massive rectangular cloister-like 15th-century leprosarium (Lazaretto). The church, once called Tempietto di Santa Maria della Sanità or San Carlino, escaped the late-nineteenth century demolition of the Lazzaretto.

History
The Lazzaretto of Milan was a quadrangle with 400 yard long sides, designed by Lazzaro Palazzi in the late 15th century. It was located outside the city walls and Porta Orientale. In the center an altar had been placed in the open ground. After the Lazzaretto was used for housing the ill during the plague epidemic of 1576, the archbishop Carlo Borromeo commissioned a new church from Pellegrino Tibaldi. Construction from 1558 to 1592, erected this centralized church with open circumferential arches which allowed the ill to see services from all corners of the surrounding porticos. After the French occupation of the Duchy, the lazzaretto was used as barracks. During the Cisalpine Republic, the architect Giuseppe Piermarini was commissioned to transform the church into a secular Temple of the Nation (Tempio della Patria). Piermarini Demolished the cupola, and walled the sides, but reconstruction soon ceased. During the 19th century, the central fields of the Lazzaretto were used for agriculture, and the surrounding cloister was used by peasants. In the late 19th century, the Lazaretto buildings were nearly entirely demolished, and the church was reconsecrated by 1884, with a new dome and an added facade portico.

The church is the backdrop for a scene at the end of the Manzoni novel I Promessi Sposi.

Because of the vibrations produced by the underground train under viale Tunisia which have damaged the dome the church has been subject to studies to reinforce its structure. After a failed fund raising for restoration among the public the church has been completely restored by Rocca Foundation in memory of Roberto Rocca. The goal was to use the church both for religious activities and as a concert hall. For this goal the rooms added at the end of 1800 for the sacristy and the priest house on the northern side have been transformed to host concert players. The altar has been moved towards the wall to have more space for concerts.

Work begun in September 2015 was completed in June 2017. The architectural design was by Studio 02 Arch, the static consolidation has been followed by Studio Associato Brambilla Ferrari and restoration was undertaken by Naos Restauri.
A new organ has been installed with 1800 pipes, designed by Martino Lurani Cernuschi with a romantic-symphonic approach. The church was inaugurated by Milan archbishop Mario Delpini on 3 November 2017 at 8.30 pm.

The church is open every day from 9 to 12 am, masses are organized Wednesday and Friday at 10 am.

The municipality has completed in 2016 a project to reserve to pedestrians Largo Bellintani around the church. The project is from arch. Loredana Brambilla of Milan Municipality.

title: Last Christmas (Doctor Who)

text:
"Last Christmas" is an episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who that was first broadcast on 25 December 2014. It is the tenth Christmas special since the show’s revival in 2005. It was written by Steven Moffat and directed by Paul Wilmshurst.

In the special, alien time traveller the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is reunited with his companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) as they must save a North Pole science base from creatures called dream crabs that induce dream states whilst killing their victims, with the help of Santa Claus (Nick Frost).

"Last Christmas" was viewed by 8.28 million in the United Kingdom and received positive reviews from critics, praising its story, acting and film influences.

Plot

On Christmas Eve, Clara finds Santa Claus stranded on her roof. The Doctor arrives to take Clara away. Santa tells the Doctor that he will need his help before the night is over. The Doctor and Clara arrive at a North Pole base where four of the crew in the infirmary are being devoured by Dream Crabs – blind aliens which induce dreams on their intended victims as a distraction whilst devouring the victims' brains and which use telepathy to see the surroundings of people thinking about a crab. More crabs attack the Doctor, Clara, and the unaffected crew, only for Santa to rescue them. Clara reveals that during their last meeting, she lied to the Doctor about Clara's boyfriend Danny Pink coming back from the dead. The Doctor says that he lied about finding Gallifrey. The Doctor sends Clara to recover Santa's crab specimen, but Clara, thinking about the crab, makes it come alive and attack her.

Clara reunites with Danny in a dream. The Doctor willingly falls victim to another crab to enter the dream. Clara still resists willing herself to wake up, until Danny tells her that she can miss him while also moving on with her life. Clara and the Doctor wake up, which kills the crabs devouring them. The Doctor deduces that they are not awake, but in a different layer of a multi-faceted dream and have been since the initial crab attack. He explains that Santa is the manifestation of their subconscious minds fighting back. Santa wakes the group up.

Clara reminds the Doctor that they met Santa before arriving, proving that everything else has also been a dream and that none of the scientists are scientists. The affected personnel – manifestations of the Doctor, Clara, and the "scientists'" minds – attack and kill Professor Albert. The Doctor, Clara, and the "scientists" dream of Santa, who wakes them up to their real lives, one by one, until only Clara is left.

Upon waking, the Doctor traces the psychic signal linking their dreams back to Clara. He pulls the crab off, and learns that Clara is now an elderly woman. The Doctor regrets not coming back sooner, when Santa appears. Realising that he is still dreaming, the Doctor wakes up again. He frees Clara, still a young adult, from the crab. Offering her all of time and space, the Doctor implores Clara to join him. Clara accepts.

Continuity
When the Doctor visits the elderly Clara, he helps her open a Christmas cracker, returning the favour she did for the Eleventh Doctor in "The Time of the Doctor" (2013) when he was too weak to pull a cracker open by himself.

Production

Casting
In September 2014 announcements were made for a number of the guest cast, including Michael Troughton, Nick Frost, Nathan McMullen, Natalie Gumede and Faye Marsay. Michael Troughton is the younger son of Patrick Troughton, who played the Second Doctor from 1966 to 1969, and the younger brother of David Troughton, who appeared in The War Games, The Curse of Peladon, and "Midnight".

There were numerous rumours circulating that the special would be Jenna Coleman's last on the show. Coleman and lead writer Steven Moffat remained quiet on the issue and insisted that people watch the episode to see whether she would be continuing into the ninth series. During the episode's climax, Clara decides to continue travelling with the Doctor, and Moffat revealed following the episode's airing that Coleman would appear in all of the ninth series. According to Moffat, Coleman was "to-ing and fro-ing" over her future in the series before ultimately deciding to continue. In a 2018 interview, Moffat confirmed that the script for "Last Christmas" originally contained Clara's exit from the series; Coleman reversed her decision to leave following the first read-through, and the episode's ending was subsequently re-written to allow the character to continue.

Marsay's character of Shona was considered by Moffat to be Coleman's replacement as the companion for the ninth series, though nothing was fully formed. With Coleman electing to stay on the show, this would mark Marsay's only appearance. Elements of Shona were later reworked into the character of Bill Potts, who was the show's companion when Coleman left after series nine.

Filming
Filming on "Last Christmas" was scheduled to start two weeks after the Series 8 World Tour Promotion. Paul Wilmshurst directed the episode.  The read-through for the episode took place on 3 September 2014, and filming began on 8 September in Cardiff, with Wilmshurst tweeting that it would likely take four weeks to complete. Scenes were filmed at Vaendre Hall in the Cardiff suburb of St Mellons.

Promotion
A preview was shown during Children in Need which featured The Doctor, Clara, Nick Frost as Santa Claus, and Dan Starkey (who also plays Strax of the Paternoster Gang) and Nathan McMullen as elves.  On 11 December 2014, the BBC released a 30-second trailer for the episode on YouTube.

Broadcast and reception
The episode was watched by 8.28 million viewers, the lowest Christmas Day rating since the show's return in 2005, and was the sixth most watched programme on BBC One for Christmas Day 2014. The early figures for overnight viewing estimated that the episode was watched by 6.34 million viewers, making it the eighth most watched event on television for Christmas Day 2014. However, it received a total of 2.62 million viewers on BBC America, beating the previous record established by "The Time of the Doctor", and became the most watched episode of the revived series in the channel's history. It also got 1.07 million requests on BBC iPlayer. The episode received an Audience Appreciation Index of 82.

Critical reception

"Last Christmas" received positive reviews, with many praising the fun, scary nature of the episode and noting the influences of Inception and Alien. It holds an approval rating of 92%, based on 12 reviews, and an average score of 8.76/10 on Rotten Tomatoes.

The A.V. Club awarded the episode the highest grade of the site, an "A". Alasdair Wilkins praised Steven Moffat’s script as "inordinately clever" in using the trappings of a "fluffy, silly Christmas special" to make the story scary. He also praised Capaldi's performance in the special for depicting the unabashed joy common in the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor eras but was "never really" seen in series 8. Morgan Jeffery of Digital Spy awarded the episode a 4 out of 5, stating that the episode was an "absolute cracker" that refused to be "throwaway" or "light on substance". He believed the influences of Alien and Inception on the script provided viewers with "both food for thought and fuel for our nightmares".

Michael Hogan of The Daily Telegraph awarded the episode a 4 out of 5, calling it "marvellously merry" and stating that it "had heart as well as head, so ended like a festive special should: happily, with a cockle-warming cosy glow". Chris Pyke of the Daily Mirror also praised the "Doctor Who spin" the various film references had. He also expressed praise over Clara's continuation, saying it was "the icing on the cake".

Radio Times awarded the episode a 3 out of 4. Patrick Mulkern was "peculiarly touched by Clara’s sentiment, "Every Christmas is last Christmas" and her admission that the Time Lord is her very own Father Christmas". IGN awarded the episode an 8.8 out of 10, deemed "Excellent". Matt Risley labelled the episode "An entertaining and satisfying slice of Who that combines festive face-huggers with a Christmas miracle". He criticised the ageing Clara make up along with many other reviewers. He praised the episode as being both Doctor Whos most "festive and least yuletide-y" Christmas special. Simon Brew of Den of Geek heavily praised the episode for its writing, acting, direction and music, and considered it an improvement over the previous Christmas special "The Time of the Doctor". He felt that "Last Christmas" capped off what he felt was "one of Doctor Whos strongest years in recent times".

Home media
"Last Christmas" was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2015, in Australia on 28 January 2015, and in the United States on 17 February 2015.

The ten Christmas specials between "The Christmas Invasion" and "Last Christmas" inclusive were released in a boxset titled Doctor Who – The  Christmas Specials on 19 October 2015.

Selected pieces of score from "Last Christmas", as composed by Murray Gold, were released on 18 May 2015 by Silva Screen Records as the third disc of the soundtrack covering series 8.

title: Mirko Salvi

text:
Mirko Salvi (born 14 February 1994) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as goalkeeper for Basel.

Youth football
Born in Yverdon-les-Bains, Salvi started his youth football with Yverdon-Sport. In 2009, he transferred to Basel and played in their U16 team where he won the Swiss Championship at U16 level. He also played in the Basel U-18 team and one year in their U-21 team before he signed a three year professional contract in May 2012 and joined their first team squad.

Club career
At the end of the Swiss Super League season 2012–13 he won the Championship title and was Swiss Cup runner up with Basel. In the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League Basel advanced as far as the semi-finals, there being matched against the reigning UEFA Champions League holders Chelsea, but they were knocked out, losing both home and away ties, beaten 2-5 on aggregate. At the end of the Swiss Super League season 2013–14 he again won the Championship title and was Swiss Cup silver medal winner for the second time. During this period, as third Basel goalkeeper, he played regularly in their U-21 team and in some test games but never a league match.

On 19 May 2014, Basel announced that they were loaning out Salvi to Biel in the Swiss Challenge League, so that he could gain first-team experience in an environment somewhat more competitive than with the Reserves in the 1. Liga Promotion. He became their starting goalie and played his Challenge League debut in the Stade de Genève on 20 July 2014 in a 1–2 away defeat against Servette. After one year loan, in which he played 35 of the possible 36 Challenge League games, he returned to Basel as their first team third goalkeeper.

Salvi made his professional debut for Basel in the closing match of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League group stage against Lech Poznań on 10 December 2015. He came on as a substitute just before half-time to replace injured Germano Vailati during the 1–0 away victory.

On 15 June 2021, he returned to his first club Yverdon-Sport.

On 10 June 2022, Salvi returned to Basel on a two-year contract.

International career
Salvi was born in Switzerland and is of Italian descent. Salvi made diverse appearances for the Switzerland U-15 and U16 national teams. He played his debut for their U17 team in a 1–0 away defeat against the Belgium U17 team on 26 August 2010. He played his debut for their U18 team in a 2–0 away win against Estonia U18 on 1 September 2011.

Salvi played his debut for their Swiss U21 team in a 1–1 away draw on 14 November 2014 against Germany U21 at the Karl-Liebknecht-Stadion in Potsdam.

title: Banan, Landskrona

text:
Banan (English: "the track" or "the lane") was the informal name of the first sports ground in Landskrona, Scania, and the third ever constructed in Sweden. It was inaugurated in 1893, then as a very simple kind of a velodrome with a grass field in its middle.

History
It was built by the local cycling club, Landskrona Velocipedklubb, and was most likely given the formal name "Velocipedbanan", but the local residents simply called it "Banan". In its first years was it mainly used for cycling races with totalizators. The use of totalizators became prohibited by Swedish law in 1896, coinciding with the first modern Olympics, which promoted amateurism in sports. This left Landskrona Velocipedklubb in financial crisis, and the sports field was eventually submitted to the council of Landskrona Town. It was located between the Artillerigatan street and the most outer moat of Landskrona Citadel, with its eastern corner (and short side) about 250 meter from that street's eastern end

However, cycling was not the only popular sport, and already by 1882 had GF Idrott established itself as one of the first sports clubs in Landskrona, made up of twenty men, of which many came from an artillery regiment located in the town. GF Idrott began with gymnastics but soon other sports were included in their program, such as athletics, football and swimming, and for their outdoor activities they used Banan.

However, despite early success within football, it would not be GF Idrott that would become the main local football club.

Landskrona BoIS, the 1915 merger of Diana and IFK Landskrona, soon became the only football club in the town, all other football playing squads just belonged to a team without organisation. The club used the middle of the cycling track as pitch for their home matches, and Banan became the first home of Landskrona BoIS.

Just 9 years later, in 1924, a new sports ground, Landskrona IP, was inaugurated. It completely replaced Banan within a few years, and Landskrona BoIS became, in the same year, one of the twelve clubs that participated in the first Allsvenskan, the finest assembly within Swedish football. Banan was located only a kilometre from the town's centre, but the new arena was built outside the city limits of its time.

It is difficult to find out of exactly when Banan was closed. But it was presumably not until after the last stationary military units had left the town, on 2 October 1926. From around 1927 did the former military exercise area partly became available for new football pitches. And these are located rather close to where Banan once lay. Buildings from the early 1930s are partly located over the old venue and so is a part of the street Säbygatan.

title: Dover lorry deaths

text:
On 18 June 2000, just before midnight, 58 dead bodies were found in a lorry in the port town of Dover, United Kingdom. Two people were found alive but injured and taken to hospital.

Incident
The Dutch lorry came from a ferry that had arrived from Zeebrugge in Belgium. It was selected for examination by officers from HM Customs & Excise who then called the police and ambulance service. It was determined that the deceased were illegal immigrants, and likely died of asphyxiation, though carbon monoxide poisoning was not ruled out. The 60 people were trapped in the container for more than 18 hours, when the outside temperature reached 32 °C (90 °F). The survivors were found closest to the doors.

Casualties
It was confirmed by police that all the deceased were Chinese immigrants, 54 men and 4 women. The incident was one of the largest mass killings in British criminal history, and the largest involving irregular immigrants entering the United Kingdom, the second being Essex lorry deaths, where all 39 Vietnamese immigrants were found dead in a truck in Essex. The 60 Chinese had paid £20,000 each. They were flown from Beijing to Belgrade, then driven to Zeebrugge.

Investigation and prosecution
The trailer was owned by a newly formed Dutch haulage company, 'Van Der Spek Transporten', which had been registered days before the incident. A similarly named, legitimate, Dutch haulage company was not involved. The driver of the lorry was Perry Wacker, 33, of Rotterdam. Wacker was arrested at the scene and, in 2001, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for manslaughter for his part in an organised people smuggling operation, coordinated by a Chinese snakehead gang. He was also found guilty of conspiracy to facilitate the entry of irregular immigrants.

In 2003, nine Chinese gang members were jailed in the Netherlands for their part in the tragedy.

Survivors
The two survivors were initially hospitalised with extreme dehydration; they were subsequently given conditional leave to remain in Britain for four years.

Racing career

2013: two-year-old season
Adelaide's only start as a two-year-old was in a maiden race over one mile at Leopardstown Racecourse on 26 October in which he started the 9/2 second favourite behind his stable companion Gypsy King. Ridden by Michael Hussey, he took the lead inside the final furlong and won by two and a half lengths from the Jim Bolger-trained Fiscal Focus, with Gypsy King in third.

2014: three-year-old season
On his three-year-old debut Adelaide travelled to France for the Prix Hocquart at Longchamp. He finished half a length behind Free Port Lux but beat eventual Grand Prix de Paris winner Gallante into third place. He returned to Ireland to win the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes being ridden by regular Ballydole Jockey Joseph O'Brien for the first time. A month later Adelaide started the favourite for the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot but finished second place behind Eagle Top.

In July he travelled to Belmont Park to contest the first running of the Belmont Derby along with UAE Derby winner Toast of New York. Ridden by Colm O'Donoghue, he took the lead in the straight but was overtaken inside the final furlong and was beaten a neck by the 23.5/1 outsider Mr Speaker. Following this performance he was entered into the Grade I Secretariat Stakes and returned to the United States to contest the race at Arlington Racetrack on 16 August. He started favourite and after sitting behind the front runner Tourist jockey Ryan Moore picked him up in the closing stages and he went on to win by one and a half lengths from Tourist.

On his return to Europe, Adelaide started 5/1 fourth favourite for the Prix Niel (a trial race for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe) over 2400 metres at Longchamp. Ridden by Moore he struggled to obtain a clear run in the straight before finishing strongly and appeared unlucky in finishing only third behind Ectot and Teletext. The colt bypassed the Arc and was sent to Melbourne to contest Australia's premier weight-for-age race, the Cox Plate over 2040 metres at Moonee Valley Racecourse on 25 October. Ridden again by Moore, he started 7/1 third favourite, having been drawn on the outside of the field. Moore dropped the horse to last place in the early stages before making steady progress and moving up on the outside to dispute the lead on the final turn. He gained the advantage inside the final furlong and won by a short neck from the favourite Fawkner with the New Zealand mare Silent Achiever a short head away in third. He became the first horse trained outside Australia and New Zealand to win the Plate. After the race Moore said "We had several plans and we didn't really do any of them. He jumped slowly and I went back to any plan I could think of. They went so fast to the bend the first time I could not get where I wanted to be. When they started to slow going down the hill, I had to get closer. I was going around them and I was able to make my ground smoothly and keep a fairly constant speed".

title: Fula gubbar

text:
"Fula gubbar" is a song written and recorded by Magnus Uggla on his 1986 studio album Den döende dandyn.

Background
While lyrically dealing with older men's attraction to younger girls, the simple tune made the song popular among young children, leading to it being referred to as "Kindergarten pop". The inspiration was taken from "Ceciderunt in profundum", a Georg Philipp Telemann choir composition. While writing the song, Uggla wanted to write pop music in the same spirit as Walter Carlos.

Commercial performance
The single peaked at number four on the Swedish singles chart. The song also charted at Trackslistan, where it stayed for four weeks between 6 December 1986 – 7 January 1987, peaking at number four. The song also charted at Svensktoppen for 12 weeks between 23 November 1986–15 February 1987, topping the chart during the first six weeks.

Other information
A 2006 Musikministeriet report showed similarities between the Georg Philipp Telemann composition, and the Björnes magasin opening music, as Björnes magasin aired for first time in 1987, the after "Fula gubbar" was popular.

Robert Greenlees (1820– 6 September 1894) was a Scottish artist and educationalist. He was employed at the Glasgow School of Art as a pupil teacher, both teaching and studying. Greenlees taught drawing in the elementary classes, and became the Second Master. In 1863 the headmaster of the school, Charles Heath Wilson, retired and Greenlees was appointed his successor. He was the headmaster until 1881.

Initially Greenlees worked in stained glass. He later moved to landscape painting in oils and watercolours.

Greenlees advocated for the attendance of women pupils at life classes, and appointed four female teachers at the school. His daughter Georgina was one of the teachers. Greenlees also introduced the teaching of nautical draughtsmanship – a number of designers at the Clyde shipyards were graduates of the school. One of his pupils was the landscape artist Alexander Brownlie Docharty while another was the noted landscape artist Archibald Kay.
