title: 1974 New York Sets season

text:
The 1974 New York Sets season was the inaugural season for the franchise in World Team Tennis (WTT). The team had 15 wins and 29 losses and finished in last place in the Atlantic Section.

Season Recap

The Sets were founded as a charter franchise in World Team Tennis by Jerry Saperstein, son of Harlem Globetrotters founder Abe Saperstein. During the inaugural season, Saperstein sold the team to New York businessman Sol Berg.

On May 7, 1974, the Sets played their inaugural match on their home court at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in the hamlet of Uniondale in the town of Hempstead, New York against the Hawaii Leis. The Sets drew 4,999 fans for their opening match. Under rules used only during the first few weeks of the season, the match comprised two sets of women's singles, two sets of men's singles and two sets of mixed doubles. No men's or women's doubles were played. WTT changed the match format on May 18, 1974, to one set each of men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. Pam Teeguarden lost the opening set of women's singles for the Sets, 6–4, to Valerie Ziegenfuss. The Leis went on to win four of the six sets and take the match, 29–25.

After opening the season with two losses at home, the Sets got their first victory in franchise history on the road beating the Cleveland Nets, 31–30, on May 12. Following the win over the Nets, the Sets lost 10 straight matches to fall to 1–12. They followed this with five wins in the next six matches to improve to 6–13. From there, the Sets lost seven of the next 10 matches and fell to 9–20. After winning three out of five matches, the Sets lost three straight to drop to 12–25 and assured themselves of a losing season. A three-match winning streak, tying their longest of the season, brought the Sets to 15–25. However, the Sets finished the season by losing four straight and cemented their position in last place in the Atlantic Section.

title: The X Factor (Australian season 7)

text:
The X Factor was an Australian television reality music competition, based on the original UK series, to find new singing talent; the winner of which received a Sony Music Australia recording contract. The seventh season premiered on the Seven Network on 13 September 2015 and concluded on 24 November 2015. Luke Jacobz returned as the host of the show. Dannii Minogue was the only judge from the previous season who returned, while Redfoo, Ronan Keating and Natalie Bassingthwaighte were replaced by former judge Guy Sebastian, as well as new judges James Blunt and Chris Isaak. The winner was Cyrus Villanueva and his winner's single "Stone" was released after the final. He was mentored by Isaak, who won as mentor for the first time.

Open auditions in front of the show's producers took place in 13 cities between January and March 2015. The successful auditionees chosen by the producers were then invited back to the last set of auditions that took place in front of the judges and a live audience in June 2015. The next round was bootcamp, which for the first time on The X Factor Australia incorporated the five seat challenge, where each act performed in front of the judges and a live audience to earn a place on one of the five seats in their category. Following bootcamp was the super home visits round in London, where each judge reduced their five acts to three, with help from guest mentors Simon Cowell, Olly Murs and Rita Ora. For the first time on The X Factor Australia, instead of travelling to four different locations around the world, the super home visits for each category were all held together in the same location.

The live shows began on 27 September 2015. They returned to Monday and Tuesday nights as previously seen in seasons 3 and 4. This was a change of format from seasons 2, 5 and 6, in which the live shows were broadcast on Sunday and Monday nights.

Judges

On 25 April 2015, Ronan Keating confirmed in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph that he would not be returning for season 7 as he wanted to focus on his music career. He said, "I've had five great years working on an amazing show with a brilliant team of people. But I'm working on a new solo album and different projects so I can't make it back this year sadly." Natalie Bassingthwaighte announced her departure on her Twitter account on 29 April 2015. On 1 May 2015, Redfoo announced on his Facebook page that he would also not be returning as he wanted to focus on other projects including a new album. Dannii Minogue was the only judge from season 6 who returned.

On 3 May 2015, it was confirmed that Guy Sebastian would be returning to the judging panel, after a two-year absence, as Redfoo's replacement, while James Blunt and Chris Isaak would be replacing Keating and Bassingthwaighte. Isaak said, "It is going to be surreal to be on the show as a judge after having watched so many episodes as a fan. I know it's a show with a history of articulate, intelligent judges, and I know they wanted to change that up so they called me." Blunt previously appeared on season 6 as a guest mentor for Minogue's Groups category during the home visits round.

Selection process

Auditions
Open auditions in front of the show's producers took place in 13 cities and ran from 31 January 2015 to 10 March 2015. Online auditions were also held for those who could not attend the open auditions. The auditionees chosen by the producers were then invited back to the last set of auditions that took place in front of the judges and a live studio audience. These auditions were filmed at the Qantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney on 4, 5, 6 and 7 June 2015 and Hisense Arena in Melbourne on 12, 13 and 14 June 2015.

Bootcamp and five seat challenge
The bootcamp round of the competition was held at the Sydney Olympic Park. Filming began on 8 July 2015. The episodes with a live audience were filmed on 10 and 11 July 2015. Before bootcamp started, the judges cut half of the 100 successful acts from auditions and only 48 acts remained (12 in each category). At the beginning of the bootcamp round, each judge found out which category they would be mentoring. Isaak was given the Boys, Blunt was given the Over 25s, Sebastian was given the Groups and Minogue was given the Girls. For the first time on The X Factor Australia, bootcamp incorporated the five seat challenge, where each act performed in front of the judges and a live audience to earn a place on one of the five seats in their category. After each performance, the mentor for that category decided if that act deserved to take a seat as one of their top five to go through to the super home visits.

If all five seats were filled for each category and a remaining act performed better than those seated, the mentor for that category had the option of swapping an act out. Contestants Panda and Chan were swapped for Cyrus Villanueva and Big T in the Boys category, Aaron Taylor and Mama Julz were swapped for Roshani Priddis and Dan Hamill in the Over 25s category, and couple duo Luke & Tannah were swapped for Lazy J & Big Guy in the Groups category. In the Girls category, Carla Wehbe and Chloe Papandrea were swapped for Maddison Milewski and Shannon Hancock. However, Hancock was then swapped for Michaela Baranov.

The 20 successful acts were:
Boys: Big T, Jimmy Davis, Michael Duchesne, Andrew Lambrou, Cyrus Villanueva
Girls: Michaela Baranov, Georgia Denton, Emilia Kelberg, Maddison Milewski, Mahalia Simpson
Over 25s: Louise Adams, Natalie Conway, Gazele, Dan Hamill, Roshani Priddis
Groups: The Fisher Boys, In Stereo, Jess & Matt, Lazy J & Big Guy, Paris Inc.

Super home visits
For the first time on The X Factor Australia, instead of travelling to four different locations around the world, the super home visits for each category were all held together in the same location. The first episode of the super home visits round was filmed in London on 25 July 2015. Each act performed one song to their mentor and guest mentors. Minogue and Sebastian were assisted by Simon Cowell and Olly Murs, and Isaak and Blunt were assisted by Cowell and Rita Ora. After the performances, the judges along with their guest mentors narrowed down the acts to three each. The Girls and Groups categories travelled to Abu Dhabi to find out which of their acts made it to the live shows, while the Boys and Over 25s categories remained in London.

Reception

Controversy and criticism
During the third live show on 12 October, controversy occurred between Minogue and Blunt after Minogue's contestant, Georgia Denton performed "I'll Be There" by Jackson 5. Blunt, Sebastian and Isaak felt the tune was not suited to her. Denton was eliminated on the live decider the following night in a special double elimination after receiving the fewest votes from the public. During the rock-themed fourth live show on 19 October, another controversy occurred when Blunt and Isaak got into a heated argument over Isaak's song choice for his contestant Cyrus Villanueva, who performed "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over" by Lenny Kravitz. Blunt felt that it was "a soul-funk song, not a rock song". Isaak did not appreciate Blunt's feedback towards him and said, "To hear James tell me what rock and roll is... I don't know what they pass as rock and roll at the disco in Ibiza, but that was rock and roll!" Isaak told Blunt to "shut up" several times.

More controversy occurred in the Judges' Challenge-themed week six live show when Big T performed "Locked Out of Heaven" by Bruno Mars as chosen by Minogue, but failed to impress the judges with his rendition of the song. Big T failed to find the correct key at the beginning of the song and was left deflated once the performance had ended. After the performance, Blunt criticized Big T by telling him that he was in danger of sounding like a "cruise ship" act. Big T's mentor Isaak then lost control and foul-mouthed at Blunt. The fight between Isaak and Blunt continued off-camera with Sebastian trying to calm them down.

title: Pop 101

text:
"Pop 101" is a song recorded by Canadian pop rock band Marianas Trench, featuring hip hop artist Anami Vice. Written and produced by lead singer Josh Ramsay, it was released July 29, 2014 through 604 Records, Cherrytree Records, and Interscope Records. Originally announced as the lead single off the band's forthcoming fourth studio album, Astoria (2015), the song was later scrapped from the album and serves only as a buzz single; it is also included on their 2015 extended play, Something Old / Something New. "Pop 101" entered the Canadian Hot 100 at No. 27, and was certified Gold by Music Canada in November 2014.

Content
"Pop 101" is primarily a pop song with influences of pop rock, but also features allusions to hip hop, EDM, and folk music. The song is satirical in nature, scrutinizing the music industry and particularly the trends and clichés of modern pop music. Ryan McNutt of AUX.TV found the song to be "oddly compelling" given writer/producer Josh Ramsay's own formulaic work and success with "Call Me Maybe" (2011).

Music video
The video for "Pop 101" was directed by Kyle Davison and parodies music video tropes and current trends of celebrity culture, including house parties, twerking and harems. It premiered August 1, 2014 exclusively on MuchMusic before being uploaded to the group's official VEVO page on August 4.

Chart performance
"Pop 101" debuted at No. 27 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 on the chart dated August 16, 2014.

title: Johan Dalgas Frisch

text:
Johan Dalgas Frisch (born 1930) is a Brazilian engineer and ornithologist.

Biography
Frisch was born in São Paulo in 1930, the son of Danish immigrants Svend Frisch and Ellen Margareth Dalgas Frisch, who came to reside in Brazil in 1927. His maternal grandfather was Enrico Dalgas, a famous Danish forester. From an early age, he observed local birds and their behavior, an interest encouraged by his father. Svend Frisch was an artist who among other things drew Brazilian birds, eventually including some illustrations for books he coauthored with Johan.

In 1950, Frisch enrolled in the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie in São Paulo, graduating with a degree in industrial engineering in 1955. His first job was at a power line factory. In 1958, he travelled to his employer's headquarters in Scotland. He made use of this opportunity to meet European ornithologists, and was introduced to their collections of recordings of bird songs.

On returning to Brazil, Frisch started recording birds, initially using a cardboard funnel. He refined this design as he made recordings, and eventually made a parabolic dish for the same purpose. On a trip to the Pantanal, he made several recordings of the local birds.

In 1962, Johan released some of his recordings as an album on LP vinyl, Canto das Aves do Brasil (Songs of the Birds of Brazil). It was released simultaneously in Brazil, in London and in New York. For 18 consecutive weeks, his recordings of birdsong were the best-selling album in Brazil. The following year he released his second album, entitled Vozes da Amazônia (Voices of Amazonia), which contains the song of the musician wren. In 1974, he released the CD album Sinfonia do Natal with Christmas songs such as Silent Night and Jingle Bells interspersed with sounds of birds.

In 1964, he published the book Aves Brasileiras, coauthored with his father Svend. That year he started a campaign to create a national park in the Tumucumaque Mountains, which succeeded when President Artur da Costa e Silva signed a decree protecting the area (it would become Tumucumaque National Park in 2002).

Also in 1964, his son Christian was born. Frisch had a successful career as an engineer, and in 1976 designed the wastewater treatment station at São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport. In 1981, he published the second edition of Aves Brasileiras. Around this time he was among the founders of Associação de Preservação da Vida Selvagem, a wildlife conservation organization that marks "National Day of the Bird" every 5 October. In 1992, he received the title of Honorary Citizen of Texas for having rescued and repatriated one peregrine falcon that had been banded in Texas.

In 1994, he published a book on hummingbirds coauthored with his son Christian, Jardim dos Beija-flores. In 2001, he published Os 12 Cantos do Brasil, and in 2002 his fourth book Cantos Harmoniosos da América. In 2005, he published the third edition of Aves Brasileiras, now including a section on plants that attract birds and accordingly entitled Aves Brasileiras e Plantas que as Atraem. Many drawings in the book were those were made by Svend for earlier editions, and some of the rest were by Christian.

title: Philo Boyden

text:
Philo Quincy Boyden was an American pharmacist from Hudson, Wisconsin, who served two one-year terms as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly.

Background
Boyden was born in Washington County, Indiana, on January 4, 1829, the seventh of nine children of David and Rebecca Boyden. His father was a former mason who became a physician. He received a common school education, and became a druggist by trade. He moved from Washington County to Madison County, Indiana, in 1851.

He moved to Hudson, Wisconsin, in 1859, becoming a pioneering druggist of the area. He was one of the thirteen original incorporators and shareholders of the Wisconsin Railway Company organized on June 14, 1863, which would later become part of the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad.

Public office
Boyden was elected mayor of the city of Hudson in 1872, without opposition. He was elected to the Assembly's St. Croix County district in 1874 as a member of the Reform Party (a short-lived coalition of Democrats, reform and Liberal Republicans, and Grangers formed in 1873, which secured the election of a governor and a number of state legislators), defeating Republican incumbent Harvey Clapp with 1407 votes to Clapp's 1230. He was assigned to the standing committees on incorporations and on medical societies. He was re-elected in 1875, receiving 1,499 votes against 1,265 for Republican Merton Herrick. He was assigned to the committee on ways and means and remained on the medical societies committee.

He was not a candidate for re-election in 1876, and was succeeded by fellow Reformer Guy Dailey.

Heritage
His Victorian Gothic home, built in 1879, is still standing in Hudson.

title: Anjaan (soundtrack)

text:
Anjaan ('The fearless man') is the soundtrack composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja for the 2014 Tamil film of the same name. Its Telugu version is titled Sikander. The soundtrack album features five songs, with lyrics written by four lyricists for the Tamil version, while Viveka had written two songs, Madhan Karky, Na. Muthukumar and Kabilan had written one each.

Development
By August 2013, Yuvan was reported to have composed the first song, a "beautiful romantic song" written by Na. Muthukumar. The "introductory song" was written by Madhan Karky and sung by Ranjith. In January 2014, the composer worked on the remaining songs with Lingusamy and lyricist Na. Muthukumar in Singapore. In June 2014, director Lingusamy stated that Suriya would be singing one song as well, which was eventually recorded in early July at A. R. Rahman's studio within two hours. The song, which marked Suriya's playback singing debut, was described as a "breezy, peppy number" and the last to be recorded after which work on the soundtrack was completed. The Telugu version of the song was sung by composer Raghu Kunche. Vennelakanti, Ramajogayya Sastry, Chandrabose and Bhuvanachandra wrote the songs for the dubbed Telugu version.

Release
The audio rights were purchased by Sony Music India for , including its Tamil and Telugu versions. Producer G. Dhananjayan of UTV Motion Pictures, which distributed the film had tweeted that the audio launch of the film will take place on 23 July 2014, coinciding with Suriya's 39th birthday, in a grand manner. However, the audio release was rescheduled to 30 July 2014 with the team considered Chennai Trade Centre as the venue for the album release. The tracklist of the Tamil album was released on 20 July 2014.

On 24 July, the makers announced that the planned audio launch has been cancelled, due to security reasons and instead, the audio was supposedly released in the stores and online platforms directly on 30 July 2014. A launch event was held on the same day at Sathyam Cinemas in a simple manner, with the film's cast and other celebrities being present. Videos of two songs "Bang Bang Bang" and "Ek Do Teen" and a theatrical trailer for the film were screened for selected fans.

The audio launch of the Telugu version Sikander took place on 4 August 2014 at the Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad, with actors Allu Arjun, Nagarjuna and director S. S. Rajamouli being present as chief guests, although it was initially reported that Kamal Haasan and Kannada star Puneeth Rajkumar would attend the function.

Track listing

Reception
The album topped the iTunes India charts and received generally favourable response from fans, while its critical response was mixed. Indiaglitz stated "the album sounds quite innovative from Yuvan's regular style. Yuvan hit the first six after his 100+ albums". Bollywood Life stated "Anjaan music is a treat for Suriya fans while the rest can enjoy this likable album" and rated the album 3 out of 5. Siddarth Srinivas of Cinemalead stated that the album was "Pure chartbuster material.", and gave 3.5 out of 5. Akilan Nagarajan of Moviecrow gave 3.25 out of 5 and concluded, "On the whole, Anjaan may not be a Paiyya, but is definitely Yuvan back to his energetic times. He plays safe as he includes a track or two that are meant to be purely for commercial reasons and not to be taken very seriously, but nevertheless entertaining".  K. Siddharth of Sify gave 3.25 out of 5 and wrote, "On the whole, Anjaan is a complete package catering to the fans of all genres consisting of a melody, rock, item number & a folkish number. Yuvan Shankar Raja makes sure he blends his experimentation along with the mass expectations. The 'Lingusamy-Yuvan Shankar Raja' track record is intact!".

In contrast, Behindwoods stated "Yuvan gives some of these familiar templates a fresh overhaul" and rated the album 2.75 out of 5. Milliblog too gave a mixed review calling it an "uneven commercial soundtrack by Yuvan".

title: Jagdish Chandra Kapur

text:
Jagdish Chandra Kapur (1920-2010) was an Indian social scientist, entrepreneur and the founder of Kapur Surya Foundation and Kapur Solar Farms. He was also the Editor of World Affairs Journal, a publication aiming at and providing a platform for better interaction between the developed and the developing nations. The Government of India honoured him in 2010, with the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award, for his services to the fields of science and technology.

Life sketch

Jagdish Chandra Kapur was born on 16 February 1920. He did his graduate studies at the Punjab University and secured his master's degree from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. Later, he went to the United States and had higher studies at the Cornell University at Ithaca, New York.

Kapur's activities are largely centred on the four institutions he has helped found viz. the World Public Forum, World Affairs journal, Kapur Foundation and Kapur Solar Farms and the social activities such as organising seminars and delivering keynote addresses on topics such as science and technology, urban and rural development and future of mankind.

The World Public Forum is a consultative body which serves as a platform for various non-governmental organisations (NGO), public, academic, cultural, spiritual, social and business institutions for exchange of views and ideas on global problems and their resolutions. Dialogue of Civilizations or Rhodes Forum is one such initiative by WPF. WPF was founded by Jagdish Kapur, along with Vladimir Yakunin, former President of the Russian Railways and has participation from many known personalities such as Alfred Gusenbauer, Federal Chancellor of Austria, Fred Dallmayr, Professor of Notre Dame University, Nicholas Papanicolaou, president of Titan Corporation, Greece, Walter Schwimmer, former Secretary-General of the Council of Europe and Hans Koechler, Director of Research Emeritus at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique of France Henri Favre.

Surya Foundation, a non-governmental organisation and its sister concern, Surya Solar Farms, are founded by Kapur and focus on research on renewable energy such as solar energy and putting them to practical uses. The Foundation, apart from publishing journals on quarterly intervals, organises meetings and seminars on the subject. It is also involved in charitable activities in the areas of health and education.

Kapur's efforts on dissemination information and knowledge on renewable energy and the future of mankind are effected mainly through the journal, the World Affairs: The Journal of International Issues. It attempts to take the views of the developing nations into the notice of the developed nations and thereby attempt to bridge the gap of information flow between them. The readers of the journal include politicians, academics, leaders and the general public.

Jagdish Chandra Kapur died on 19 November 2010, aged 90, due to age related illnesses.

Awards and recognitions
 Padma Bhushan – 2010
 Kanpur Municipal Corporation has honoured Jagdish Chandra Kapur by naming a road after him, stretching from Vijay Nagar to Sastri Nagar.

title: New York City Central Labor Council

text:
New York City Central Labor Council (NYCCLC) is the largest local labor membership organization under the direction of the national AFL–CIO. Founded in 1959 the NYCCLC represents over 400 local New York City unions in both the public and private sectors of the New York economy. Of the 11 million total workers represented by the AFL–CIO, the New York City Central Labor Council alone represents close to 15% of its total membership. The organization represents over 1.5 million New York City workers, including teachers, truck drivers, operating engineers, nurses, construction workers, electricians, firefighters, retail workers, janitors, train operators, bakers, etc. The New York Central Labor Council is a  labor membership organization devoted to supporting, advancing and advocating for its member organizations and all 'working class' people of New York City.

The New York City Central Labor Council plays a major role in New York City affairs and politics. The Council sponsors many protests, and throws its weight behind many New York City organizing drives. It also hosts the oldest and largest Labor Day Parade in the United States.

Purpose
The NYCCLC's purpose is to improve the lives of its workers, their families, the communities of all five New York City boroughs, and to bring economic and social justice to New York City. The NYCCLC works with government leaders and various community groups to further worker empowerment in New York City. The council works to pass legislation and worker friendly policies through the New York City Council and New York State Legislature. The New York City Central Labor Council wields considerable influence with both local NYC and national policy makers.

The NYCCLC also builds worker power through political education and action, supporting economic development in New York City, being an active partner with business and government leaders, organizing workers who choose to be in a union, providing community service and job training, and conducting educational programs for its affiliate unions.

The Labor Council today reigns as "the largest municipal labor council in the country" a federation with 400 union locals and over 1.5 million members.

Governance
The NYCCLC is governed by a President, a Secretary-Treasurer, and Executive Council, made up of representatives from its affiliated unions. Prominent national labor leader Harry Van Arsdale, was the first President of the New York City Central Labor Council. He held this post from its formation in 1959 until his death in 1986. Another early leader was Morris Iushewitz.

Since 2011 Vincent Alvarez has served as President, and Janella T. Hinds serves as the Secretary-Treasurer.

The NYCCLC is the local New York City affiliate of the national trade union center American Federation of Labor – Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL–CIO).

title: Hopoca, Mississippi

text:
Hopoca is an unincorporated community in Leake County, Mississippi, in the United States.

History
The etymology of Hopoca is unclear. According to one source, Hopoca is a Choctaw name likely meaning either "distant" or "one who picks or grazes". The community was founded in the 1830s by W. M. Hall, who moved to the area from Tennessee. A post office operated under the name Hopoca from 1894 to 1907.

In 1842, the Choctaws Claim Commission met in Hopoca. The Commission was formed to disperse land after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Commissioners present included J.F.H. Claiborne, William M. Gwin and Charles Fisher (who was a former member of the United States House of Representatives from North Carolina and was serving as a land agent at the time).

title: Lion's Heart (organization)

text:
Lion's Heart is a national non-profit, teen-based volunteer program headquartered in California. The organization has several chapters in other states, such as Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Wisconsin. It was founded in 2004 as a non-profit, non-fundraising group designed "to inspire teens to have a positive impact in their communities through leadership and participation in volunteering, providing needed resources for causes that ignite their passions."

Lion's Heart enrolled approximately 5,600+ members as of 2016. The organization has grown steadily to more than 10,000 past and present members as of May 2018. Lion's Heart offers teenagers the opportunity to perform community service without fundraising, gain valuable leadership skills, and create an online shareable portfolio for college applications and internships. The organization enrolls teens who are in 6th through 12th grades. Teen members of Lion's Heart have amassed over 900,400 hours of service to local communities in 28 states in the U.S. since its inception in 2004.

Lion's Heart has become noted in California due to their presence among volunteer groups.

Organization

Each geographical chapter of Lion's Heart has a group for each gender and grade level. Each group has 3-20 Members, along with one parent who is the Class Coordinator and works as a chaperone. They also now offer individual membership for teens who choose to stay on their own.

The Members elect their own officers, lead their own meetings, decide together what community service they want to perform, and who they want to help. Each 'class' is required to meet six times during a year. Every volunteer in Lion's Heart is encouraged to perform at least 30 hours of community service every year.

While the organization is mostly based around group activity, many members choose to do their community service on their own. The corporate office of Lion's Heart, located in Irvine, California, receives many volunteer requests from nonprofits and those opportunities are passed along to each chapter by the organization's Volunteer Outreach team who also finds and curates unique opportunities for them adding to the enrichment of the local opportunities. The members, both individual and group, have a calendar in their account profile with all volunteer opportunities within 20 miles of their location listed for them that they can choose from.

National presence in the United States

Presently, as of May 2018, Lion's Heart has 516 groups in 220 chapters across 28 states in the U.S. Cumulatively, Lion's Heart Members have provided more than 900,400 service hours to communities across the nation.

As of 2016, Lion's Heart has 56 chapters grown across ten states in the U.S. Most of the states only have a single chapter, though the group itself notes progressive expansion. Since inception, Lion's Heart Members have provided more than 500,000 service hours.

They have worked with several other volunteer and charity organizations, including the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, Education for the Children, Rotary Club, Bethany's Gate, Boys Town, Orange County Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Toys for Tots, Make-A-Wish Foundation, National Beach Clean Up — Surfrider Foundation, Capistrano Unified School District, Saddleback Valley School District, Bell Tower Regional Community Center, Pacific Marine Mammal Center Laguna Beach, Rose Parade, Adopt-A-Beach, Zero Trash, Second Harvest Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, and American Red Cross Blood Drives.

Awards

Lion's Heart has their own reward system for their members. Members who are active for the entire 6 years are given what is called the 'Golden Lion Award'. At the end of a given year, they will be given a medallion, as well as be honored for their achievements within the organization. (Hours of community service, officer positions held, as well as any other awards they have received.)

Other awards include the Torchbearer Award and nominations for the President's Volunteer Service Award.

The Torchbearer Award goes to a peer-selected Member within each group every year. Once the year is up, the Torchbearer gives their award to the next winner, on, and on. Once the class has reached their senior year, the last person to win it will keep it from then on. It is given to those who give exemplary service by going above and beyond what is required of them. The Torchbearer award was inspired by the founder's late father-in-law Kenton Corwin, who was honored to run with the 1996 Olympic Torch because of his dedication to community service throughout his life.

The President's Volunteer Service Award is a national campaign to recognize community service. Lion's Heart is one of few organizations to be designated a 'leadership' organization by the President's Volunteer Service Award committee and they provide the means for members to qualify by passing along the amount of time that they commit themselves to community activity. There are three levels — gold, bronze, and silver, depending upon how many hours of community service a Member performs in a year. Member's create, within their personal account, a digital portfolio in which to log and track all of their hours, awards, and leadership positions over the course of their membership to share with college, job, and internship applications. Members also have access to college scholarships related to community service.

Community recognition

Lion's Heart has garnered local appreciation from several communities in which they're based. Members have been honored in Ridgefield CT, North Fulton, Georgia, Mission Viejo CA, as well as many others. The founder, Terry Corwin, has been awarded two PTA Honorary Service Awards (2000, 2007), recognized by the Capistrano United Schools District for helping save the Class Size Reduction Program (2003), named the Grand Marshal of the 4th of July parade in Coto de Caza, CA (2009), and was honored along with her husband, Clay Corwin, with the Distinguished Lifetime Advocates Award by The Education for the Children Foundation (2012). National Philanthropy Day of Orange County, CA, awarded Lion's Heart with the Outstanding Youth Group Award (2009). Terry Corwin was named one of "Twenty Women to Watch" by OC Metro Magazine (2013), appeared on the Katie Couric Show featured in "Women Who Should be Famous" for her work with Lion's Heart (2013), and was presented with The President's Volunteer Service Award for "Lifetime Achievement" (2014), and was award the Daily Point of Light Award (2015).

title: Elmira, Corning and Waverly Railway

text:
The Elmira, Corning and Waverly Railway was an electric interurban line connecting the cities of Elmira, Waverly, and Corning along the Southern Tier region of New York State. The railroad was briefly controlled by the Erie Railroad. Completed in 1911, traffic dwindled through the 1920s in the face of stiff competition from better roads and increased automobile ownership. The effects of the Great Depression hastened the abandonment of all service in 1930. Replacement bus service was provided by Carpenter's Rapid Transit of Corning.

title: William B. Hincks

text:
William Bliss Hincks was a Union Army soldier in the American Civil War who received the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.

Early life
Hincks was born in 1841 in Bucksport, Maine. He moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut, as a boy. Described as a young man of scholastic aptitude and inclination, Hincks put his education on hold to enlist in the Civil War.

Civil War military service
In his regiment, he was said to be a man with strength of mind and purity of purpose, integrity of character, and frankness of manner who could not fail to influence his comrades and win their love and esteem.

Hincks enlisted as a private and rose quickly through the ranks of the regiment. On August 20, 1862 he mustered into "A" Co. Connecticut 14th Infantry as a private, promoted Sergeant in February, 1863, Sergeant Major in June, 1863, Adjutant, in October 1863 and Major in April, 1865. With the exception of a short topur on the brigade staff, Hincks was with the 14th through all its engagements. He was mustered out with his regiment on May 31, 1865, having been in service from Antietam to Appomattox with the 14th Connecticut Regiment.

Medal of Honor
He was awarded the Medal of Honor, for extraordinary heroism on July 3, 1863, while serving as a sergeant major with the 14th Connecticut Infantry Regiment, at the Battle of Gettysburg. His Medal of Honor was issued on December 1, 1864.

Citation:

The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Sergeant Major William B. Hincks, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism on 3 July 1863, while serving with 14th Connecticut Infantry, in action at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. During the high-water mark of Pickett's charge on 3 July 1863 the colors of the 14th Tennessee Infantry C.S.A. were planted 50 yards in front of the center of Sergeant Major Hincks' regiment. There were no Confederates standing near it but several were lying down around it. Upon a call for volunteers by Major Ellis, commanding, to capture this flag, this soldier and two others leaped the wall. One companion was instantly shot. Sergeant Major Hincks outran his remaining companion running straight and swift for the colors amid a storm of shot. Swinging his saber over the prostrate Confederates and uttering a terrific yell, he seized the flag and hastily returned to his lines. The 14th Tennessee carried 12 battle honors on its flag. The devotion to duty shown by Sergeant Major Hincks gave encouragement to many of his comrades at a crucial moment of the battle.

Post War
At the end of the war, Major Hincks returned to Bridgeport and became engaged in the mercantile business. He became known for careful and sound judgement and gained him a solid reputation as business advisor. He became custodian for many business trusts. As his business career continued to bloom, he also became vice-president and secretary of many business organizations in Bridgeport. For many years he was treasurer and secretary of the City Saving's Bank of Bridgeport. Hincks helped P.T. Barnum found the Barnum Museum and Bridgeport Hospital. He also wrote about local history.

He married Mary Louise Hart in 1866 and they had three sons. They lived in a house on Park Avenue and Prospect Streets that has since been demolished. He was a deacon in his church and involved in many community activities.

He died at the age of 62, on November 7, 1903, and was buried at the Mountain Grove Cemetery and Mausoleum in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

His son, William Thurston Hincks, was a lawyer who married Maud Morris, who was the vice president of the suffragist movement in Connecticut, and also the first woman in Connecticut to get a drivers license.

title: Affair at Galaxara Pass

text:
Affair at Galaxara Pass, November 24, 1847, was a U.S. Army victory of Gen. Joseph Lane, over the Mexican Army Light Corps, an irregular force under Gen. Joaquín Rea. The Light Corps had been the principal force harassing the U.S. Army line of communications on the National Road during Scott's campaign against Mexico City during the Mexican–American War. Following Lane's relief of the Siege of Puebla he moved against the Light Corps to end that threat.

Background
After their defeat at Atlixco by General Lane a month earlier, the Light Corps of Gen. Joaquín Rea had retreated to Izúcar de Matamoros, more distant from the American garrison at Puebla and continued harassing the U.S. Army line of communications on the National Road between Vera Cruz and Mexico City. General Lane decided to strike again at Rea, and ordered a night march to surprise the garrison at his base at Izúcar de Matamoros. Surprise complete the Skirmish at Matamoros was extremely successful, killing many of the enemy, dispersing the rest and capturing and destroying tons of arms and material belonging to the Light Corps.

Battle
Early on the morning of November 24, 1847, General Lane's command moved off on their return march to Puebla, with 25 or 30 men of Captain Robert's company of Texas mounted riflemen in the advanced guard. The remainder of the Riflemen followed the artillery and a small train of four wagons, containing property captured the day before, drawn mules and driven by Mexican drivers. The Louisiana Dragoons were the rear guard.

As they moved northward though the difficult road through the long Galaxara Pass, five miles north of Izúcar de Matamoros the train became spread out along the road. General Lane fell back to get it moving and close up the column, shortly thereafter a report came that Mexican cavalry had appeared to their front.

General Lane ordered Colonel Hays to the head of the column to engage the enemy with the advance guard. When the Colonel arrived he found a small party of the advance guard being chased back to the American column by two hundred Mexican lancers. Hays promptly charged the advancing Mexicans with Captain Roberts' company, and Lieutenants Ridgely, Whipple, Waters, McDonald, Blake, and General Lane's private secretary, Mr. Phelps, 35 men in all. Their charge broke the lancers and Hays detachment then pursued the lancers back across the plain and up a steep slope toward the mountains, from which they had originally come. The Mexican Lancers attempted to rally but were broken buy the continuing charge by Hays and his men, and fell back over the summit of the mountain. Hays continued in close pursuit where they found the defeated lancers being reinforced by the main body of the Light Corps, 500 lancers under their commander General Joaquin Rea.

At this point in the contest, the revolvers and rifles of the mounted riflemen had all been discharged in the advance and none had sabres. In the face of the disadvantage of numbers and weaponry, Hays ordered his force to retire to their original position. Despite being charged by four or five hundred lancers, Hays men retired in good order to their original position, recharged their weapons and repulsed the charge. They held their position until the artillery and the Dragoons came up under Captain Lewis. The artillery was unlimbered. When the lancers then retired to the mountains several rounds of grape shot and canister persuaded them to disappear from sight.

During the engagement, no longer guarded by American soldiers, the Mexican drivers cut the mules from the wagons and escaped with them. The captured property with no means of transport was destroyed with the exception of the sabres, which were distributed to the mounted men, the remainder destroyed.

For several hours after the engagement the Mexican lancers shadowed the march of Lane's command. They kept their distance, too far from the Americans to charge or shoot at, despite some attempts to do so by the riflemen and artillery.

The Americans lost 2 men killed and 2 slightly wounded all in Hays charge. One of the killed was Lieutenant Ridgely, Lane's acting assistant adjutant general, who was mortally wounded while charging with his comrades by the side of Colonel Hays. The other killed was a Texas Ranger, William Malpass, who also fell in the charge. Several men were mentioned in the report for distinction in the action, among them Private Glanton, of the Texan rangers, who "attracted general notice for his extraordinary activity and daring throughout the actions both of the 23d and 24th." The Mexicans loss was not accurately known by the Americans, but Lane wrote in his report that it:

could not have been less than fifty killed and wounded. Of the killed, were two captains, one lieutenant, and also three noncommissioned officers of artillery.

This engagement was a clear illustration of the advantage repeating firearms gave mounted troops over those with single shot firearms and hand held weapons.

Aftermath
Lane's column marched on through the night arriving at Atlixco, about ten o'clock of the morning of the 25th. After four hours of sleep the column moved off to Puebla, where they arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon with no further incidents. Their raid on Matamoros, the subsequent battle in the pass and their return were accomplished within sixty hours. Lane's raid had effectively negated the danger of the Light Corps to the American line of communications for the rest of the war.

Battle site today
The site of the Galaxara Pass battlefield is now partly occupied by the town called La Galarza, in the Municipality of Izúcar de Matamoros, in the State of Puebla.

title: Hornell Traction Company

text:
The Hornell Traction Company was an electric streetcar company serving Hornell and Canisteo, New York, between 1892 and 1926.

Beginnings
The Hornellsville Electric Railway Company was formed December 16, 1891; President was Charles Adsit, Secretary was Demerville Page, and Treasurer was George T. Rehn. The Canisteo Valley Railway Company was formed on December 28, 1891, with plans to run a line to Jasper, Woodhull, and Addison; President was William T. Bailey and Vice-President William Potter. It never began operations. The Hornellsville & Canisteo Railway Company was formed May 12, 1892; President was Page, Secretary was Adsit, and Treasurer was Rehn. It took over the assets and "certain obligations" of the previous company.

Both companies shared a depot and car barn at Adsit and Thacher Streets in Hornell. Offices were at 119 Main Street, later 126 Main Street, in Hornell.

Service began on August 4, 1892; and was the occasion for a parade and speeches by local officials. The franchise required that the company pay Hornellsville 1% of its gross receipts.

Service on the Canisteo line began December 28, 1892, after a trial run on the 22nd. Initial service was one car every two hours. Through at least 1909 the fare within Hornell was 5¢; Hornell to Canisteo was 10¢; fare to the Glenwood from either Canisteo or Hornell was 5¢. Frequency on the Canisteo line was never less than one car every two hours; more often it was hourly, and more often at peak hours, up to 20 trips a day. (The horse-drawn "stage" which was its predecessor made two trips a day, for 25¢.) Construction was completed in 1893. A branch was built in 1894 to Babcock's Track, a horse race track, of which there is a drawing but whose exact location is not known.; perhaps it is the Jones Driving Park of the 1873 map. The companies owned  of track.

Equipment
The original equipment was five  cars, "finished in cherry with double thick French plate glass", with electric heat. Each had two 20-horsepower motors. Each cost $3,580 () delivered. There were also another five trailer cars without motors, to be attached at moments of peak load. On these cars, which cost $965 each (), the windows and sides could be removed in the summer, creating open cars.

Routes

Hornell
The line started at the Shawmut (Pittsburg, Shawmut and Northern RR) station on Seneca Street, near the line's car barn at Adsit and Thacher. South on Seneca to Main, east to Center, south on Center to Loder and the Erie Depot, Loder to River, east to Main, ending at East Main and East Avenue. Return was via Main Street; there were double tracks on Main between Center and Broad (today Broadway). The line was later extended south along East Avenue to Hart Street. It was divided into Green and White Lines, with only the White Line extending to Hart St. A North Hornell line was added, and then the Canisteo Line. The lines were timed to connect with each other, and the conductors issued transfers upon request. All lines met at Main and Broad Streets. Broad and Center both had double tracks, where cars could be parked between runs.

Canisteo
The biggest project was the line to Canisteo, whose first stage only went on Canisteo Street as far as St. James Mercy Hospital.

The Canisteo Line was delayed by the Erie Railroad that the tracks had to cross. The Erie, which charged 30¢ from Hornellsville to Canisteo, saw the trolleys as competition (and was pressured to match their lower fare), and their lack of cooperation, they having served the trolley company with an injunction, ended up in court. That disagreement resolved in principle, a major problem was crossing the Erie tracks at the south end of Broad Street. It was not practical to run the line across the Erie tracks, and at first the trolleys had to be pulled across the Erie tracks by horses. The solution was to build an underpass, locally called a subway.

That the route between Hornell and Canisteo is on the south side of the Canisteo River, rather than the north, reflects inducements to follow that route.

The line connected the Erie Railroad depot in Canisteo with the center of the village, Four Corners.  Depot Street was renamed Railroad Street, since the trolley tracks ran down the middle of the street. At Walnut Street there was a second track where unused cars could be placed temporarily. The route continued through Four Corners south on Greenwood Street, ending at a miniature, one-car garage just south of Pine Street. Presumably that was the terminus because the Canisteo Silk Mill, at one point Canisteo's largest employer, was there. It is not correct that the route entered Canisteo on Pine Street, using the bed of the unbuilt Rochester, Hornellsville, and Pine Creek Railroad, ending at Depot and Walnut Streets. In its later years the trolley ended its route af Four Corners, offering connection with the New York & Pennsylvania Railroad, whose station was a block away, at the other end of Canisteo's park, The Green.

After the trolley ceased operation Railroad Street was renamed Depot Street, its original name.

The Glenwood Inn

In order to make ridership grow, "Hornellsville & Canisteo electric railway people" in 1893 bought property in South Hornell, formerly belonging to Hendershott,
"about midway between the two towns", to create "a summer park and picnic ground". This would be Glenwood Park, where the Glenwood Inn would be built. The company ran regular Sunday excursion trains to Glenwood,  south of Hornellsville and  north of Canisteo. At the first 4 July celebration there, with fireworks, "It seemed as if the entire population of both Canisteo and Hornellsville had been emptied into the glen....  The carrying capacity of the road was taxed to its utmost." "The inn, boat house and merry go-round [sic] did a land office business." At the conclusion, "Car after car was packed to utmost capacity...the tracks on both sides lined with men women and children, all eager for the first conveyance home."

Expansion plans
In 1906 the Steuben Traction Company, which issued stock, was formed from a merger of the Hornellsville Electric Railway Company, the Hornellsville & Canisteo Railway Company, and the otherwise unknown Canisteo Valley Traction Company and Canisteo, Jasper & Woodhull Railway Company. It had plans to build a line from Canisteo to Jasper. In 1909, no reference being made to the Steuben Traction Company, the Hornellsville Electric Railway Company, the Hornellsville & Canisteo Railway Company, and the Canisteo Valley Electric Railway Company merged to form the Hornell Traction Company, which also issued stock. Service frequency improved (first car 8:30 AM instead of 9:05, for example).
Local line extensions were built in 1913. Nothing came of talk of extensions to Keuka Lake via Bath and Hammondsport, and through Arkport to Dansville, linking with service to Rochester. In 1920, the fare was 8¢.

Deterioration and closure
Traffic dwindled in the 1910s and 1920s as the company was faced with stiff competition from automobiles and the new hard-surface state highway linking Hornell and Canisteo (later New York State Route 36), built in 1912. By 1914 there were so many claims for injuries to passengers that the company was temporarily forced into receivership. The Glenwood complex was completely destroyed by fire in 1923. At the same time, the company's equipment was "rapidly deteriorating"; it was "dilapidated". By 1924 it was again in receivership; fares were cut to 7¢, or 20 for $1, and the Canisteo line service was cut from a car each half hour to one per hour. At its liquidation shareholders received nothing and bondholders received ten cents on the dollar.
All service was shut down on July 15, 1926. All assets except the rails in the streets were liquidated in 1926 for $14,600. The wooden ties of the track were sold as firewood; some cars, sold for $50, became chicken coops; one became a home. Car 34, the snowplow car, stripped and in poor condition, is in storage at the New York Museum of Transportation in Rush, New York.
