title: Michelin Cup

text:
The Michelin Cup refers to a number of competitions sponsored by the French tyre manufacturer Michelin for long distance flight made in aeroplanes.

The first Michelin prize was announced in March 1908. The principal prize, to be awarded annually for an initial period of eight years, was a prize for long distance flight, and consisted of a bronze statue as a trophy (valued at 10,000 FF-French francs) and a money prize of 20,000 FF. The flying club of the winner also received a replica of the trophy if they did not already own one. Administration and determination of the exact conditions for each year were delegated to the Aéro-Club de France (AeCF). Attempts to win the prize could be made anywhere in the world where there was a flying club associated with the AeCF.

At the same time, Prix d'Aviation Michelin was a special prize of 100,000 francs offered for a flight by an aircraft carrying a passenger, taking off from either the department of Seine or Seine-et-Oise, flying over the Arc de Triomphe and the cathedral of Clermont-Ferrand, and landing on the summit of the  Puy de Dôme inside six hours starting from the time at the Arc de Triomphe.  This was won by Eugène Renaux on 7 March 1911, flying a Maurice Farman biplane.

In 1909, a second award, the British Empire Michelin Cup, was announced, for flights made by aviators who were citizens of the British Empire, flying aircraft of all-British manufacture. The original award therefore became known as the International Michelin Cup.

When the prizes were first instituted, 25 French francs were worth one pound Sterling.

International Michelin Cup

1908
Won by Wilbur Wright with a flight made on 31 December 1908 at Le Mans officially reckoned as . The course over which the flight was made was an isosceles triangle with two sides of 1 km and a third of 200 m, totalling 2.2 km. The flight had to be made before sunset and only complete circuits counted. Wright took off at 2 pm and completed 56 circuits before sunset. He then landed, flying a further 1.5 km to set a new world distance record of 124.7 km.

1909
For the greatest distance exceeding 123.2 km. in a closed circuit made before the end of the year: 20,000 francs, and a bronze replica of the Michelin trophy.

Won by Henry Farman with a flight of  lasting 4h 6m 25s made on 3 November 1909 at Chalons.

1910
Won by Maurice Tabuteau flying a Maurice Farman biplane with a flight of , taking 7hr 48m 36.6s at Buc on 30 December 1910.

1911
In 1911, the closing date for the competition was brought forward to 31 October.

Won by E. Helen flying a Nieuport II monoplane on 8 September 1911, when he covered  in 14 hr 7 min.

1912
For the 1912 competition, the rules were considerably more elaborate. The flight had to be made over a course made up of three different circuits, each starting from the same point. The first and third, each of about , had to have three or four compulsory landing-places, and the second, of , one or two landing places. Refuelling was only allowed at the starting point of each circuit. The circuits had to be covered in order, and if a competitor landed somewhere other than a nominated airfield, they had to start that circuit again. For every 75 kg of useful load carried apart from the pilot and necessary fuel, a bonus of 25% was allowed on the time, up to a maximum of 100 per cent. The extra load could be made up of passengers or ballast. Competing aircraft had to carry a sealed barograph, and an average speed of at least  had to be maintained.

The 1912 prize was not won by any competitor, and the prize money was added to the prize for the following year.

1913
The 1913 competition was very different. It was awarded for the greatest distance flown on a series of consecutive days, flying over a  course, with a compulsory landing after each circuit.

The Cup was won by Emmanuel Helen flying a Nieuport monoplane, with a total distance of  flown between 22 October and 29 November 1913.

1914
The nature of the competition was changed again for the 1914 competition, the prize being awarded for the fastest time over a circuit of about .
Won by Eugène Gilbert flying a Morane-Saulnier monoplane. Starting from Villacoublay at 03:04 on 8 June 1914, he flew via Peronne, Rheims, Saint-Dizier, Gray, Joigny, Beaune, Vienne and Nimes, landing at Mirande before reaching Pau, owing to running out of fuel. On the next day he flew via Pau, St. André de Cubzac, Romorantin, Angers, Evreux and Calais back to Villacoublay, landing at 18:37 p.m, having covered a distance of  in 39h 35m.

1921
After the First World War, the competition was resumed in 1921. The competition was for the fastest time over a (3,000 km {1,860 mi) circuit: the French circuit was Versailles—Amiens—Mourmelon-le-Grand—Saint-Dizier—Dijon—Joigny—Beaune—Lyon—Nîmes—Pau—Bordeaux–Romorantin,—Angers—Évreux—Calais—Versailles, and the aircraft had to land at each of these airfields.

The result was the cause of considerable controversy. The best French time was achieved by Alphonse Poiré flying a Caudron C.60, who completed the circuit in 37h 23m.  A faster time of 35h 45m over an Italian circuit was achieved by Capt Raffaele Martinetti-Bianchi, but he had not landed at the same aerodrome as he had departed from, since this had become waterlogged and he was not allowed to land there. The dispute between the Italian authorities, who had ratified his performance, and the Aéro-Club de France was taken to a specially appointed Fédération Aéronautique Internationale committee, which found in Martinetti's favour, but the AeCF disputed their judgement: eventually the prize was held to have been won by neither man, although in recognition of his performance the AeCF awarded the Gold Medal of the AeCF and a sum of money equal to the Michelin Prize to Poiré.

1922-3
A five-year extension, with annual prizes of 20,000 francs, was announced in 1922. The time period of the annual competition was altered to run from the beginning of July in one year to the end of the following June.

Won by Capt Girier flying a Breguet 14, taking 20hr 41m 57sec, covering the course Lyons—Nimes—Pau—Bordeaux—Angers—St. Inglevert—Mourmelon—Metz—Strasbourg—Dijon—Avord—Lyons at an average speed (including time on the ground) of .

1923-4
The 1924 French circuit was Versailles—Saint-Inglevert—Valenciennes—Mourmelon—Metz—Strasbourg—Dijon—Clermont-Ferrand—Lyon—Nimes—Toulouse—Pau—Bordeaux—Angers—Versailles

Won by Lieut. Ludovic Arrachart flying a  Breguet 19, completing the  in 19h 22m 26s.

1924-5
Won by Pelletier d'Oisy flying a Blériot-SPAD S.61, completing the course in 15h 8m.

1925-6
At the request of the military aviation authorities, the 1925-6 competition was limited to competitors flying the principal French bombing aircraft, the Breguet 19.
The best time was achieved by Capt. Coslin, with Lieut Gérard as observer, with a time of 18h 0m 24s, a speed of .

However, since this time did not better the previous best, the cup did not change hands.

1926-7
There were two competitions in 1926-7, one restricted to the Breguet 19. The course for both competitions was Paris (Le Bourget)—Nancy—Metz—Strasbourg—Dijon—Bourges—Clermont-Ferrand—Lyons—Istres—Pau—Casaux—Châteauroux—Tours—Romorantin—Chartres—Paris, a distance of .

The main competition was won by Capitain Challes flying a Blériot-SPAD S.61 in 12h 14m 37s.

The military competition was won by Capt Delaître and Sgt Cailloge, who covered the course in 14h 51m 55s, a speed of .

1927-8
Again, the competition was restricted to the Breguet 19, with the added condition that an altitude of  be reached at least once.

Won by Capt. Delaître.

1928-9
In 1928, the prize was offered for a further four years. The winning flight had to be made in France, although the competition was open to all nationalities, and the competition was restricted to single-seater aircraft with an engine of 230 hp or less. A minimum average speed of  had to be maintained over the circuit, including time spent on the ground at the fifteen cities making up the circuit.
Won by Michel Détroyat, flying a Morane-Saulnier MS.230.

British Michelin cup
In 1909, Michelin instituted a United Kingdom award, offering an annual award for five years of a trophy and £500. The competition was limited to British subjects flying aircraft of British construction. Administration of the competition was entrusted to the Aero Club of Great Britain.

1909–10
For the first year, the flight was to be around a closed circuit made up of two or more markers, and a minimum distance of  was specified. The closing date for the first competition was 31 March 1910.

Won by J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon with a flight of  at Eastchurch on 1 March 1910, flying the Short Biplane No. 2.

1910
The rules for the 1910 competition, for which the closing date was 31 December 1910, were as before except that the minimum qualifying distance was raised to .

Won by Samuel Cody flying the Cody Michelin Cup Biplane at Laffan's Plain, Farnborough with a flight of  taking 4h 47m.

1911
Announcement of a second prize, to be competed for during the following three years, with a trophy and a cash prize of £400 for 1911, £600 for 1912 and £800 for 1913, for the fastest time over a cross-country circuit.

On 29 October 1911, the Michelin Cup No. 1 was again won by Samuel Cody, flying his Circuit of Britain biplane  in 5 hr 15 min at Laffan's Plain, also setting a new British duration record.

The No. 2 cup was also won by Cody, with a flight made on 11 September 1911 of a circuit starting at Laffan's Plain, Farnborough—Andover—Hendon—Brooklands—Farnborough, taking 3 hr 6 min 30 sec to complete the  course.

1912
The rules were redefined for the 1912 competition: the No. 1 cup and cash prize of £5,000 was purely for endurance, all flying to be done between sunrise and sunset. The No. 2 cup and prize of £600 was for distance covered over a cross-country course of about  of the competitor's choosing.

The No. 1 cup was won by Harry Hawker flying the Sopwith-Wright biplane, with a flight lasting 8 hours 23 minutes made on 24 October 1912 at Brooklands.

The No. 2 cup was won by Samuel Cody flying the Cody V, with a flight of 186 miles in 3hr 26m.

1913
Michelin Cup No. 1 for the longest distance flight round the course Brooklands–Hendon–Farnborough, with a minimum distance of 300 miles. Competitors had to make periodical stops of not less than five minutes, with engine stopped, on completing an entire circuit of the course plus one section: e.g., starting from Brooklands the competitor would pass Hendon, Farnborough, Brooklands, and alight at Hendon.
The prize had not been won by the closing date of 31 October 1913, so the closing date was extended to 14 November 1913.

The No. 1 Cup was won by Reginald H. Carr flying the Grahame White "Charabanc", with a flight of over .

The No. 2 cup, for the fastest time round a circuit of the competitor's choice of about 450 km, was not awarded. Although the prize was carried over to the next year, competition was terminated by the outbreak of World War I.

title: John Buchan Way

text:
The John Buchan Way is a walking route from Peebles to Broughton in the Scottish Borders, a distance of approximately 22 km (13 miles). The route is waymarked in both directions, and was opened in spring 2003. It is named after the writer and diplomat John Buchan (1875–1940), who has many associations with the area. The route mainly follows long-established hill tracks through the Peeblesshire countryside. It has three main ascents and descents which give a total climb of about 800 metres, but this climb is never severe. The walk can be completed in one day by strong walkers, or can conveniently be split.

Route

The walk starts from the west end of Peebles High Street. Later the walk passes the summit of Cademuir Hill where, on a clear day, there are excellent views. Another viewing point is at the head of Glensax. The walk can be terminated at Stobo which is around the halfway point. From here it is possible to catch a bus back to Peebles. For those wishing a longer walk the path passes Stobo Kirk following the Easton Burn and later crossing it on a bridge. Penvalla hill is on the right. Eventually the highest point of the walk is reached above Stobo Hopehead, surely one of the most remote houses in the Scottish Borders, 6 km (4 miles) up a track from the road. The path then descends to the village of Broughton. The walk finishes at the John Buchan Centre at the south end of the village. A detailed description of the route and a map can be downloaded from the Scottish Borders Council website.

Nearby attractions

Several places of interest can be easily reached from this walk. These include: Stobo Kirk, The forts on Cademuir Hill, John Buchan Centre, Neidpath Castle, Broughton Gallery and Dawyck Botanic Garden.

title: Dock10 (television facility)

text:
Dock10 is a television facility owner and media services company in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. Dock10 offers a number of services including post production and The Studios.

Its studio filming facility, often referred to as The Studios, is the best-known part of the company. It was built as a major part of MediaCityUK, a development in Salford, Greater Manchester. The move saw a number of major productions leave London for the first time and head north to Manchester. The BBC, ITV and Channel 4 all relocated the filming of various shows to The Studios. This included established British shows Match of the Day and Countdown.

Dock10 also offers other media services, such as post production. Their post-production shows include Match of the Day, Blue Peter and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

History

The idea for MediaCityUK began in 2004, when BBC announced that it was interested in moving hundreds of jobs away from London to another UK city. The Peel Group was involved from the early stages of this move, which resulted in announcing the construction of a 200-acre development in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester. The BBC and The Peel Group announced in 2007 that the construction would begin on the media-based development.

The studio facility is built on the site of the former Manchester Ship Canal docks. Construction of dock10 began in 2007, and it was ready to go on air in January 2011. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in March 2012. The name "dock10" is said to come from a site plan drawn over 100 years ago that stated, "SITE OF FUTURE DOCK NO. 10".

At the heart of the MediaCityUK project was the idea of producing BBC shows outside London. A studio was then proposed at the site, which was constructed in time for the BBC move in 2011. The new £22 million studio was originally known as MediaCityUK studios, before becoming The Studios. The BBC became the first major tenant of The Studios. The Studios and the media infrastructure were rebranded in 2012, and Dock10 was formed.

In 2013, Dock10 signed its first production deal with ITV. The deal was to use dock10 to record and produce a number of ITV Studios shows, and was extended in 2016 to run until 2018.

By 2016, Dock10 had grown into a major production provider to British-based TV shows. In March 2016, Dock10 announced that it had acquired Edit 19, a Manchester-based visual effects and editing company. Later that year, it announced that it was expanding its post-production facility, offering many services gained from the acquisition of Edit 19.

In May 2017, Dock10 opened a new studio, HQ8, suitable for small sets and green-screen productions. This studio was designed to meet the demands from creative agencies and digital content creators wanting to use professional facilities.

In November 2017, Dock10 announced that it had secured a contract with BBC Creative. This would mean certain BBC promos and branding work would be produced outside of London.

Since the 2018 revival of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, the show has been filmed at Dock10. It was previously filmed at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.

In January 2019, ITV Studios announced plans to remain at Dock10 until at least 2021. The extended contract meant the company's shows would continue to be filmed and produced on site, which included shows such as Judge Rinder and (as of May 2019, cancelled) The Jeremy Kyle Show.

The post-production facilities at Dock10 were expanded in 2019 as part of a wider £5 million investment to meet increased demand. The expansion included a new creative production space called The Second Floor, which provides additional space for production companies. The new facilities include fourteen edit suites, audio trackway, and dubbing suites.

In May 2019, Dock10 announced the launch of a new 4K UHD-ready virtual studio capability using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4.  This technology allows programme makers to create photorealistic output in real time..

In August 2019, Dock10 hosted JD Sports inaugural Esports event, JDX, with the semi-finals and finals being hosted at the facility.

For the launch of the 2019-20 football season, BBC Sport announced that its football shows Match of the Day and Match of the Day 2 would be broadcast from a virtual reality studio at Dock10. This studio will also be used by other BBC football programs including Final Score and Football Focus.

Channel 4 has commissioned a new peak-time Christmas-themed four-part series Buy it Now, to be hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal. Buy It Now is produced by Studio Lambert North and will be filmed at Dock10.

Studio facilities

The studios are owned and managed by Dock10. The company has two major divisions: studios and post-production. The studios feature eight conventional TV studios, two audio studios, two unique spaces used for television production, digital post-production, and cloud media management services.

Many major productions such as The Voice UK are filmed in HQ1, the UK's biggest multi-camera TV studio, which can hold live audiences of up to 1,000 people. HQ2, HQ3, and HQ4 are three large or medium-sized studios, with shows such as Match of the Day, The Voice UK, Football Focus, Countdown, Judge Rinder and University Challenge filmed in the four studios.

Shows with a smaller studio requirement, such as Newsround, Blue Peter and Saturday Mash-Up!, use HQ5, HQ6, HQ7 or HQ8. HQ9 and HQ10 are specialist audio studios. The final two studios are large spaces for more open productions. HQ11 is the only outdoor studio on site and with HQ12 is a mezzanine studio, often seen on Watchdog.

title: Ralph Koltai

text:
Ralph Koltai CBE, RDI (31 July 1924 – 15 December 2018), was a German-born, naturalised British stage designer, who worked as associate designer of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and latterly as a sculptor.

Early life
Koltai was born on 31 July 1924, in Berlin, Germany, to a family of Jewish descent. He was the only child of a Hungarian-born doctor Alfred and his wife Charlotte (née Weinstein) Koltai who was German. Their son was on the Kindertransport from Brussels to England in 1939. His parents survived the Holocaust; his mother was able to settle in Britain, while his father began again in Cuba. Koltai worked as a translator at the Nuremberg trials and later for the British Intelligence Corps as an investigator of war crimes. His military service ended in 1948.

From 1943, Koltai trained to a commercial artist at Epsom School of Art before he entered the military. From 1948 to 1951, he studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts (now Central Saint Martins) where he was later the head of theatre design between 1965 and 1972.

Career as a set designer
Soon after his graduation, his designs for Sadler's Wells Opera, Covent Garden Opera and Ballet Rambert began to gain notice.

Koltai was influenced by European theatre practitioners such as Bertolt Brecht and Vsevolod Meyerhold. "What I wanted to do was to find a single image which would express what the author was saying, rather than just provide illustrations," he said of his design principles. "I wanted to show the idea, the concept." He told critic Michael Billington in 1984 that he attempted to find "a style that seeks to find the right metaphor for each work." In 1963, for the RSC at the Aldwych Theatre, London, he set Rolf Hochhuth's The Deputy (also known as The Representative), about Pope Pius XII's connection to the Nazis. He later commented: "My concept was to set it in a gas chamber that was also the Pope’s study—it showed that the Vatican and the extermination chambers were part of each other." His first work for the RSC had been the previous year's production of Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle.

In 1984, when an RSC production of Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac was being performed on Broadway, he told critic Michael Billington that he saw himself as a painter who treats the play as an art object. He commented that he did not "respond well to being told what is wanted. I like to make a conceptual contribution where you half need to direct the play yourself."

In later life he lived in France taking found objects on local farms made of wood, metal and turning them into sculptures. One of these creations, a tree root, was surrounded by water in his stage design for Samuel West's revival of Howard Brenton's  The Romans in Britain at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, in 2006. In 2010 his metal collage sculptures were exhibited at the Royal National Theatre.

Interviews
Koltai was interviewed by Sue Lawley in 1998 for the BBC radio programe Desert Island Discs.
National Life Stories conducted an oral history interview (C1173/01) with Koltai in 2002–2003 for its An Oral History of Theatre Design collection held by the British Library. Koltai also took part in Rambert's 90th anniversary oral history project, talking about his work for dance.

The year before his death, Koltai was interviewed for TheatreVOICE at the Victoria and Albert Museum by Heather Neill. Of his career, he said “Whatever talent I had, it was instinct; I’ve never made a decision. I often arrive at the resolution by accident. The talent that I have is to recognise the accident when it happens.”

Honours
Koltai was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1983 New Year Honours and was recognised as a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) by the Royal Society of Arts in 1984.

Death
At the end of his life, Koltai lived at "Le Bas-Foncluse" farm in La Celle-Guenand in France.
He died on 15 December 2018, at the age of 94, at Châtellerault.

title: Princess Sophie of Baden

text:
Princess Sophie of Baden (Sophie Pauline Henriette Marie Amelie Luise; 7 August 1834 in Karlsruhe – 6 April 1904 in Karlsruhe), was a Princess of Baden by birth and the Princess consort of Lippe by marriage.

Life

Sophie was the second daughter of Prince William of Baden (1792–1859) and Duchess Elisabeth Alexandrine of Württemberg (1802–1864), daughter of Duke Louis of Württemberg. Her paternal grandparents were Charles Frederick, the first Grand Duke of Baden, and his second wife, Louise Caroline Geyer von Geyersberg, Countess of Hochberg. She grew up in Karlsruhe, together with her two younger sisters, Elizabeth (1835–1891) and Leopoldine (1837–1903).

Marriage
Sophie was married to Woldemar, Prince of Lippe (1824–1895) second son of Leopold II, Prince of Lippe (1796–1851) and Princess Emilie of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen (1800–1867) on 9 November 1858 in Karlsruhe. The marriage was childless, leading to a dispute that lasted two decades between the two lines of the House of Lippe to inherit the principality after the death of Woldemar, in 1895.

title: Denny Johnstone

text:
Denny Johnstone (born 9 January 1995) is a Scottish professional footballer who last played as a striker for Scottish League One club Dumbarton.

Johnstone began his senior career with Celtic, leaving the club in 2014 without making a first-team appearance and signing for English Championship club Birmingham City. Johnstone spent time on loan with Conference club Macclesfield Town and League Two clubs Cheltenham Town and title-winners Burton Albion in 2014–15 and spent the 2015–16 season on loan at Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship. Johnstone departed the Blues and signed for League Two club Colchester United in June 2016.

Johnstone joined St Johnstone in a season-long loan for 2017–18 before being released by Colchester at the end of that season. After a season with Greenock Morton, he signed for Falkirk in 2019, spending time on loan at Stranraer before joining Dumbarton in July 2020.

Johnstone has represented Scotland at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 levels.

Club career

Early career
Born in Dumfries, Johnstone joined the youth system at local club Queen of the South at 8 years old until he joined Celtic at 13 years old. At Celtic, Johnstone scored the opening goal in the under-19s first match in the 2012–13 NextGen Series at home to Sporting Lisbon, whilst he also contributed to Celtic winning the Scottish Premier under-20 League and scored with his first touch of the ball to confirm their Scottish Youth Cup 3–1 win over Dunfermline Athletic's under-20s team.

Celtic's qualification for the group stages of the 2013–14 Champions League meant that their youth team would play in the UEFA Youth League, in groups that mirrored those of the senior team. Johnstone scored versus Barcelona's youth team  and produced a good performance playing in the lone striker role in a 4–1 win versus Ajax. By the end of the season, Johnstone had made no senior appearances and rejected the offer of a new contract with Celtic. Johnstone was attracted by a move to Dundee United but the clubs were unable to agree a compensation figure and United pulled out of any deal because of the uncertainty of a fee set by any tribunal.

Birmingham City
Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Johnstone trained with English Championship club Birmingham City, where Alan Thompson (who Johnstone knew from his time at Celtic) was the development coach. It was reported that Birmingham had attempted to persuade Celtic to accept a huge sell-on fee but by the end of July 2014, their budget had stretched to an acceptable figure and Johnstone signed a three-year contract. Johnstone started his first professional match on 19 August 2014, replacing Wes Thomas in the 81st minute of a 2–2 draw versus Ipswich Town.

Macclesfield Town (loan)
Johnstone joined Conference Premier club Macclesfield Town  on 27 November 2014, on a one-month loan spell, having scored 4 goals in 7 development squad matches. Johnstone made his debut as a second-half substitute in a 3–1 defeat versus Barnet on 29 November 2014  and scored his first goal on his fifth appearance, six minutes after appearing as a substitute during the 5–1 win versus Alfreton Town on 20 December 2014. Despite his loan being extended on two occasions, firstly to 7 January 2015 and then extended until the end of that season, Johnstone was recalled by Birmingham on 2 February 2015, which was the final day of the transfer window, although he was loaned  out to League Two club Cheltenham Town for the remainder of the campaign. Cheltenham had wanted to secure the player on a permanent contract but Birmingham were unwilling to release him. Johnstone had scored three goals in nine Conference appearances for Macclesfield.

Cheltenham Town (loan)
Johnstone made his debut for Cheltenham on 7 February 2015 in their 3–1 home defeat against Burton Albion. A week later, Johnstone scored his first Football League goal in the 24th minute on his third appearance for the club; Cheltenham lost the match 2–1 to Bury. He was recalled by Birmingham in early March 2015, after scoring once in five league appearances.

Burton Albion (loan)
On 26 March 2015, Johnstone joined League Two leaders Burton Albion on loan until the end of the season. He made his Burton debut on 3 April 2015, playing the first hour of a 1–1 draw away to Plymouth Argyle. In his third appearance, after Carlisle United took an early lead, he needed lengthy treatment following a clash of heads but was able to return to the field of play, only to then score an equaliser in the eighth minute of stoppage time after a goalmouth scramble. Johnstone was an unused substitute in Burton's last match of the season, which confirmed the club as League Two championship winners. Johnstone played on five occasions for Burton.

Greenock Morton (loan)
Johnstone joined Renfrewshire club Greenock Morton on 31 July 2015 on loan for the 2015–16 season. Birmingham included an option to recall the player in January 2016. He made his debut the following day in a 5–0 win against Elgin City in the League Cup, back-heeling Morton's second goal and showing "good hold-up play and an ability to bring others into play". Johnstone helped Morton to a fifth-place finish in the Scottish Championship, scoring 17 goals in all competitions and providing six assists.

Colchester United
League Two club Colchester United signed Johnstone on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 28 June 2016. He made his debut for the club as a second-half substitute for Chris Porter in Colchester's 1–1 draw with Hartlepool United at Victoria Park on the opening day of the 2016–17 season, before scoring his first goal from the bench on his home debut in a 2–0 win against Cambridge United on 13 August. He was ruled out for the remainder of the season having made 32 appearances and scoring two goals after tearing knee cartilage during Colchester's 2–1 defeat at Accrington Stanley on 18 February.

In August 2017, Johnstone moved on loan to Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone. He made his club debut as an 81st-minute substitute in St Johnstone's 1–1 draw with his former club Celtic. He scored his first goal for the club on 16 December in a 3–1 win at Rangers.

At the end of the 2017-18 season, Johnstone was released by Colchester United.

Return to Greenock Morton
After his release by Colchester United, Johnstone returned to Scotland for a second spell with Greenock Morton on a one-year contract. He made his first appearance since his return to Cappielow in a 3–0 win versus Falkirk Reserves at the Falkirk Stadium, as he scored a brace.

Falkirk
Johnstone followed manager Ray McKinnon to the Falkirk Stadium, before joining Stranraer on loan in January 2020.

Dumbarton
After leaving the Bairns in the summer of 2020, he joined fellow Scottish League One side Dumbarton in July 2020 - teaming up with manager at Morton, Jim Duffy. Johnstone made 11 appearances for the Sons, but failed to score, before leaving the club in March 2021.

International career
Johnstone has represented Scotland at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 levels.

He made his international debut for the under-16 team against Jersey on 24 August 2010 in a 3–0 International Challenge Match win for Scotland. He made four appearances for the under-16 team, scoring once against Northern Ireland.

Johnstone first appeared for the under-17 team on 12 January 2011 in a 1–0 win away to Malta. He scored once in 10 appearances at under-17 level in a 2–1 defeat to Croatia.

He played just one game for the Scotland under-18 side, a 1–0 defeat to Israel in April 2013.

Johnstone first represented Scotland at under-19 level on 6 February 2013, scoring in the 2–1 defeat to Netherlands. He scored twice more for the under-19s, the only goal against Belarus on 12 October 2013, and a goal in the 1–1 draw with Germany three days later. He made nine appearances for the under-19s.

Career statistics

Personal life
Johnstone's great-grandfather was the East Fife and Queen of the South Scottish League international footballer Bobby Black, and several other members of his extended family played football professionally.

Johnstone attended St Ninian's High School, Kirkintilloch, as a beneficiary of the partnership between the school and Celtic.

title: Wayne Darwen

text:
Wayne Darwen is an Australian journalist, television producer and filmmaker best known for his work in the tabloid television genre and as director and star of the film, High There (2015).

Began career as a 17-year-old reporter for a newspaper in Sydney, Australia. He worked internationally as a reporter for titles such as Sydney Daily Mirror, Star magazine and the New York Post, before moving to American television as a producer of tabloid newsmagazine shows like A Current Affair, Hard Copy, Geraldo Rivera’s Now It Can be Told, Strange Universe and Inside Edition.

He received attention for his 1993 series of televised interviews with Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz, in which Berkowitz claimed the murders were the work of a Satanic cult. He appeared as reporter in the  documentary film, Dark Mirror of Magick: The Vassago Millennium Prophecy (2012).

His early television exploits were featured in the 1999 book Tabloid Baby, written by his colleague Burt Kearns.

In May 2015, Darwen made international news when he responded to Downey's attack on journalists and independent films.

High There
Darwen wrote, directed (with Henry Goren), produced and took on the guise of Dave High in the documentary film High There (2015), a nonfiction comedy about the efforts of Darwen and Henry Goren to film the pilot for a marijuana travelogue series on the island of Hawaii. They wind up in various misadventures, while uncovering a Drug Enforcement Administration campaign to control the marijuana trade and to persecute marijuana activist Roger Christie. It is the first leg of a filmic journey that picks up where Darwen's colleague and inspiration Hunter S. Thompson left off.

High There premiered 25 August 2014 at the Action on Film International Film Festival in Monrovia, California.  Darwen was on location in Adelaide at the time, so he appeared at the premiere as a life-size cardboard cut-out.  The film won the Viewers' Choice Award at the first annual Cannabis Film Festival in Humboldt County, California on May 3, 2015. On the heels of several rave reviews, it was released on VOD and Limited Edition DVD by BrinkVision on June 23, 2015.

title: Virunga (film)

text:
Virunga is a 2014 British documentary film directed by Orlando von Einsiedel. It focuses on the conservation work of park rangers within the Congo's Virunga National Park during the rise of the violent M23 Rebellion in 2012 and investigates the activity of the British oil company Soco International within the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Soco International ended up officially exploring oil opportunities in Virunga in April 2014. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on 17 April 2014. After airing on Netflix, it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Synopsis
The documentary tells the story of four characters fighting to protect Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, home to the world's last mountain gorillas, from war, poaching, and the threat of oil exploration. Following gorilla caregiver André Bauma, central sector warden Rodrigue Mugaruka Katembo, chief warden Emmanuel de Merode, and the French investigative journalist Mélanie Gouby, the film focuses on the natural beauty and biodiversity of Virunga, as well as the complex political and economic issues surrounding oil exploration and armed conflict in the region.

Production
Production began in 2012, when von Einsiedel traveled to Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo with the intention of documenting the positive progress which had been made by the park authorities in encouraging tourism and development in the region. However, within three weeks of arriving in Virunga, conflict began with the M23 rebellion in April 2012, shifting the focus of the film to cover the emerging conflict.

Von Einsiedel collaborated with park officials and French journalist Mélanie Gouby to investigate the role of the British oil company Soco International, which had been undertaking activities in the area. Undercover filming showed Soco representatives offering bribes to park rangers.

Soco International has strongly denied the allegations made in the documentary.

Release
Virunga had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on 17 April 2014. The premiere of the film came just two days after Virunga National Park's chief warden, Emmanuel de Merode, was shot by unidentified gunmen on the road from the city of Goma to the park's headquarters in Rumangabo. De Merode survived the attack and the premiere of Virunga went ahead afterwards.

The film has been screened at multiple film festivals around the world, including Canadian festivals Hot Docs and DOXA; Docville in Leuven, Belgium; in the U.S. at Little Rock Film Festival in Arkansas, Mountainfilm in Colorado, AFI Docs in Washington DC, Traverse City Film Festival in Michigan. The UK premiere of the film was at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on 24 June 2014.

On 28 July 2014, it was announced that Netflix had picked up exclusive rights to the film. The documentary was released onto the service on 7 November the same year. On June 23, 2020, it was announced that Barry Jenkins would write the feature film adaptation of Virunga, and that Leonardo DiCaprio would produce it.

Reception

Critical reception

Virunga has received universal acclaim by critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 100% rating based on 21 reviews with an average rating of 9.09/10. The site's critical consensus reads "Virunga offers a heart-rending glimpse of natural wonders vulnerable to the atrocities of greed -- and the people devoting their lives to defending them". Metacritic, another review aggregator, assigned the film a weighted average score of 95 out of 100 based on 5 reviews from mainstream critics, indicating "universal acclaim". It is currently one of the site's highest-rated films.

Jeannette Catsoulis, writing for The New York Times, called the film "extraordinary", whilst Los Angeles Times film critic Sheri Linden described Virunga as an "urgent investigative report and unforgettable drama... a work of heart-wrenching tenderness and heart-stopping suspense". Ronnie Scheib wrote for Variety that Virunga was an "extraordinary documentary" with "enough action, pathos, suspense, venal villains, stalwart heroes and endangered gorillas for a dozen fiction films". Tom Roston wrote for PBS's POV blog that "Virunga is the best documentary I've seen this year."

Awards
Virunga has won several awards including the Peabody Award; the Feature Documentary Award at DOXA Documentary Festival in Vancouver, Canada; the Award of International Emerging Filmmaker at Hot Docs in Toronto; the Golden Rock Documentary Award at Little Rock Film Festival; and the Action and Change Together (ACT Now) Award at the Crested Butte Film Festival. It won two gongs at the One World Media Awards at BAFTA - Best Documentary, and the Corruption Reporting award. The film was also nominated for Best Documentary Feature at Tribeca Film Festival. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for the 87th Academy Awards.

Impact
The allegations brought against Soco International by the documentary, and supported by local NGOs and civil society organizations working in and around Virunga National park, put increased pressure on the company to put an end to its exploration for oil within the protected World Heritage Site.

On 11 June 2014, Soco International and the WWF announced a joint statement in which the oil company committed "not to undertake or commission any exploratory or other drilling within Virunga National Park unless UNESCO and the DRC government agree that such activities are not incompatible with its World Heritage status". This was widely cited as a victory for WWF, which had long been campaigning for Soco to leave the region, and credit was also given to the filmmakers. However, strong concerns about the credibility of this agreement were raised by the filmmakers, alongside other NGOs such as Global Witness, Human Rights Watch, and local civil society organizations.

World Wildlife Fund executives now acknowledge that the battle over Virunga is hardly over. Soco has yet to relinquish its operating permits or commit to an unconditional withdrawal. "They're leaving the door open," said Zach Abraham, director of the World Wildlife Fund's global campaigns.

On 13 March 2015, BBC reported that the Democratic Republic of Congo says it could potentially redraw the boundaries of Virunga National Park, to allow for oil exploration.

On 4 November 2015, Soco said it no longer held a stake in the exploration license for the DRC national park.

title: Montenegrin–Ottoman War (1852–1853)

text:
The Montenegrin–Ottoman War (1852–1853) () broke out after Ottoman retaliation for the Montenegrin secret aid to Herzegovinian rebels.

Background
In 1852, Danilo, returning from the Russian Empire, proclaimed himself Prince of Montenegro and the Hills, thus elevating the status of his polity from a theocracy into a principality. Montenegro remained an Ottoman vassal, until the Ottomans attacked Montenegro after the unraveling of Montenegrin secret aid to Herzegovinian rebels.

History
Omar Pasha and Osman Pasha of Scutari attacked Montenegro in November 1852.

Aftermath and legacy

title: Bharateswari Homes

text:
Bharateswari Homes is a boarding school for girls located in Mirzapur, Tangail District, Bangladesh. The school was established in 1945 by philanthropist Ranadaprasad Saha. He established the institution for the girls education and named it after his grandmother Bharateswari Devi. In 2020, the school was given Independence Day Award, the highest civilian honor of Bangladesh, for its contribution to education.

History
The institute belongs to Kumudini Welfare Trust of Bengal (BD) Ltd which also owns Kumudini Hospital and other institutes. The trust was founded Ranadaprasad Saha (RP Saha). The school started as Bharateswari Bidyapith, a primary school. The foundation stone of Bharateswari Homes was laid on 2 January 1938 by Kiron Bala Saha, wife of RP Saha.

He and his son Bhavani Prasad Shaha were captured and killed by the Pakistani army on 7 May 1971. His daughter Joya Pati took the charge of the Trust after his death. As of 2007, RP Saha's grandson, Rajiv Prasad Shaha, was the managing director of the Trust.

The institute is the first residential girls' school in the region. The school introduced Higher Secondary Examination in 1962. But the HSC section closed in 1973, and reopened in 1983. In 2013, the school had approximately 1000 students and 60 teachers.

Apart from regular studies, students at the school take an active part in cultural activities, particularly in physical training. The school is nationally renowned for its unique physical training offered to its students. Each year students are invited by the government to perform in the holiday celebrations and important national festivals in Dhaka.

The school provides education and training in computer literacy and also runs an English Language Club, a Science Club, a Debating Club and a unit of the Bishwo Shahitto Kendro. In 1997, Bharateswari Homes had formed Girls-in-Scout, which is the largest children's organization in Bangladesh.

title: Yoga Hosers

text:
Yoga Hosers is a 2016 American comedy horror film written and directed by Kevin Smith. It is a spin-off of Smith's 2014 horror film Tusk and stars Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith, Lily-Rose Depp, and her father, Johnny Depp. The second film in Smith's True North trilogy, it had its world premiere on January 24 at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival before being released on September 2, 2016, by Invincible Pictures. The film was a commercial flop and was panned by critics, who viewed it as a low point in Smith's career.

Plot
Colleen Collette and Colleen McKenzie are two 15-year-old girls who spend their days studying yoga with their guru, Yogi Bayer, and working an after-school job at a Manitoba convenience store called Eh-2-Zed. They are also in a cover band called Glamthrax with their 35-year-old friend, Ichabod, on drums. The two are invited to a party by a popular senior, Hunter Calloway, who is the object of Colleen M's affections.

The next day at school, the girls' history teacher informs the class that the Nazi Party once had influence in Winnipeg. Led by the self-proclaimed "Canadian Führer" Adrien Arcand and his right-hand man, Andronicus Arcane, the Canadian Nazis were once a great force of terror. Arcand was later arrested by Federal authorities, but Andronicus Arcane was never found.

Colleen C's father Bob, who owns the Eh-2-Zed, and his girlfriend Tabitha, the store's manager, decide to take a spontaneous trip to Niagara Falls, leaving the girls to run the store on the night of Hunter's party. The Colleens invite Hunter and his friend Gordon Greenleaf to bring the party to the store so that they would not miss out. Colleen M escorts Hunter to the back room at his request, only to discover that Hunter and Gordon are actually Satanists who wish to sacrifice and dismember the Colleens. Before this can occur, an army of little monsters called Bratzis (one-foot-tall Nazis made from bratwurst) attack and kill Hunter and Gordon. Using their yoga skills, the Colleens fight and defeat the Bratzis, but are soon arrested for the murder of Hunter and Gordon.

Legendary man-hunter Guy LaPointe, who had an encounter with the Colleens once before, arrives at the police station to interrogate the girls. Having obtained some of his own evidence of the Bratzis, he believes the girls' testimony and wishes to help them prove their innocence. After sneaking them out of the station and taking them back to the Eh-2-Zed, LaPointe and the Colleens are knocked unconscious by the Bratzis. They are taken to an underground lair beneath the store where they find the Bratzis' master, Andronicus Arcane.

Arcane reveals to LaPointe and the Colleens that he once had dreams of becoming an artist. After having his work ridiculed by various critics, he decided to become a scientist for the Canadian Nazi movement. The Nazis hid him in the underground lair to create a clone army to conquer Canada and the United States. The clones, made from bratwurst and Arcane's DNA, needed to incubate for 100 years before they were fully grown, so Arcane cryogenically froze himself until the time when he and his clones could rise again. This process was interrupted when a power outage at the Eh-2-Zed 70 years later caused Arcane to thaw and the clones' incubation to stop, rendering them just one foot in height. Learning that the Nazi Party had long since been defeated, Arcane began a new mission to kill all critics as revenge for those that poorly reviewed his early work. He reveals he has constructed a ten-foot-tall goaltender from body parts of the Bratzis' victims to carry out his murderous deeds. This "Goalie Golem" is controlled by the Bratzis who operate it from its insides. No longer wishing to follow Arcane's orders, the Golem kills him and then turns on the Colleens. The Colleens once again use their yoga skills to defeat the Golem and soon after, clear their names.

After being dubbed "Hero Clerks" by the media, the Colleens return to their normal lives and end the film with a cover of "O Canada", accompanied on guitar by Guy LaPointe.

Production
Smith revealed before the release of Tusk that he had written a spin-off film called Yoga Hosers, which would feature the cast from Tusk.

The title came from a remark Scott Mosier made during an early 2014 segment of SModcast, the podcast he cohosts with Smith. Smith brought up fanciful quotes attributed to Simon Metke, an Edmonton yoga instructor whose home had recently been raided by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), who recovered an artwork stolen from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2011 there. Mosier imagined the RCMP saying "Open up, yoga hoser!" as they knocked on the door. After it became a catchphrase among the podcast's listeners, Smith announced it would be the title of his next film. The character of Yogi Bayer in the film is also based on descriptions of Metke in the media.

In August 2014, it was revealed Yoga Hosers would be an action-adventure, and the second in the True North trilogy. The film includes the entire cast of Tusk, including Depp's daughter Lily-Rose and Smith's daughter Harley Quinn, starring in their reprised roles as clerks. Tony Hale, Natasha Lyonne, Austin Butler, Adam Brody, Tyler Posey, and Jason Mewes also appear. StarStream Entertainment helped finance and produce the film, while XYZ Films co-produced. In September 2014, it was revealed Haley Joel Osment and Genesis Rodriguez had joined the cast as well, and it was later revealed Kevin Smith would portray a bratzi. Comic book writer Stan Lee had a cameo appearance, his second in a Smith film, after 1995's Mallrats. Thomas Ashley put up 25% of the equity to create the film and was an executive producer.

Filming
Smith announced on August 20, 2014, that filming had begun, and on September 18, 2014, he stated on SModcast #308 that he had wrapped three quarters of the film, and would finish the last quarter once Depp is available. Principal photography concluded in January 2015.

Release
The film had its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on January 24. A tie-in comic book was also given out exclusively at the Sundance premiere.  Written by Kevin Smith and illustrated by Jeff Quigley, Yoga Hosers: When Colleens Collide tells the story of how the girls met and became friends. Later in 2017, Dynamite Entertainment reprinted this special issue for release to comic stores. In April 2016, Invincible Pictures acquired US distribution rights to the film, and initially planned a July 29, 2016, release. The film was later pushed back to September 2.

Reception

Yoga Hosers was panned by critics, who considered it a low point in Smith's film career. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 24%, based on 62 reviews, with an average rating of 3.70/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Undisciplined, unfunny, and bereft of evident purpose, Yoga Hosers represents a particularly grating low point in Kevin Smith's once-promising career." On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 23 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews."

Justin Chang of Variety disliked the film, writing that Harley Quinn Smith and especially Lily-Rose Depp have sufficient spunk, spark and chemistry (and they're charming bopping through an end-credits cover of "O Canada") that you long to see them in a starring vehicle that doesn't look and feel like an on-screen underwear stain. Shot and edited with the sort of willful slovenliness that presumably fits the anything-goes grab-bag effect Smith was going for, Yoga Hosers looks as though it was probably pretty fun to make, though only the director's hardcore fans and SModcast listeners are likely to find that pleasure in any way infectious. John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review, writing that "the young leads seem to be having fun even if you aren't, but any acting careers they might go on to will not be the result of this film."

Korey Coleman of DoubleToasted.com expressed strong criticism for the film, stating that it was the worst movie he had seen in years. He also felt Smith's privilege in obtaining funding for the film was an insult to aspiring filmmakers who struggle to even get a foot in the door of the industry. He placed it at the #1 spot for the worst movie of 2016, tying with Fifty Shades of Black.

In an extended review for The A.V. Club in 2017, Nathan Rabin summed up the film as a "fiasco," blaming "self-indulgence" and "laziness" leading to "Smith combin[ing] what are clearly his two great loves in life: family and making terrible comedies. It's a beautiful thing when a man is able to fuse his personal and professional life this way. It's just a shame the result is borderline unwatchable."

Spin-off
Kevin Smith has said that his True North trilogy will conclude with a film titled Moose Jaws, which he describes as "Jaws with a moose." Smith revealed that the Colleens will return for Moose Jaws.

title: Marguerite Wolff

text:
Marguerite Agnes Rachel Wolff OBE (17 February 1919 – 25 May 2011) was a British pianist.

Marguerite Wolff was born in the West Ham area of London on 17 February 1919, the daughter of Walter and Selina (known as Nina) Wolff; her parents were also musical. She studied under Gertrude Azulay and later Solomon Cutner and Louis Kentner.

Her orchestral debut was made when she was just 15, under Sir John Barbirolli. During World War II, she performed more than 1,000 concerts for troops around the UK, under the auspices of the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA). She was made music professor at Trinity College of Music when only 21.

She gave up her career for marriage and to raise a family (of two daughters) but resumed public performances after being widowed while only 35, in 1964. She subsequently made the premiere recording of Arthur Bliss's Piano Sonata, under the composer's supervision. While touring the US in 1974, she gave the world premiere of his Wedding Suite. Malcolm Williamson's Fourth Piano Concerto was written for her, in 1994.

She was made an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College of Music in 1999 and appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 15 November 2002, and was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) the same year. She was a member of West London Synagogue.

Wolff died on 25 May 2011 aged 92. She had never remarried.

title: Exchange and Mart

text:
Exchange and Mart is an online classified advertising website, owned by Newsquest Media Group. Exchange and Mart specialises in new and used motor vehicles, including commercial vehicles, motorcycles, caravans and motorhomes and caters for private sellers, as well as motor retailers. It was a printed publication from 1868 until 2009.

Background

Exchange and Mart was founded by news entrepreneur William Cox. In 1862 he had bought Queen, a magazine for women which had popular 'Exchange and Mart' columns allowing readers to buy and sell products. In May 1868 a weekly paper, Exchange & Mart, was founded by Cox in a converted potato warehouse in Covent Garden. It was the first in the world to specialise in classified advertising.

In 1926 Exchange and Mart was taken over by Bazaar Exchange & Mart Ltd.

By 1999 Exchange and Mart was owned by CMP Media, which was acquired by United News & Media (later UBM) for $920 million.

In 2005, Newsquest's Exchange Enterprises division acquired Exchange & Mart and Auto Exchange from United Advertising Publications'. Exchange and Mart ceased publishing as a magazine in 2009 but continues online only.

Printed magazine

The Exchange and Mart magazine was published weekly from 1868 to 2009. During World War II, the magazine was slimmed down by paper rationing and by 1948 it was still suffering under rationing, with a circulation of 70,000.  At its peak, it reached an audited circulation of over 350,000, making Exchange & Mart a household name.

A 1998 study described Exchange and Mart as a "well known and established paper", also "hard edged, no nonsense" and popular for selling vehicles, a forerunner to more modern publications such as Loot.

However, in 2009 and with its final ABC Circulation figures (December 2007) at 21,754 Exchange and Mart focused on becoming an online only business and ceased publishing the printed magazine.

Website

ExchangeandMart.co.uk was launched in 1996 and users could buy or sell vehicles and other items online. Today, the site focuses on new and used motor vehicles. Users can search for vehicles using a wide range of filters, including price, model, postcode, age and mileage. The website also includes buying advice.

From 2012 Exchange and Mart builds and hosts web and mobile sites for independent motor dealers, helping them reach a wider, online audience. The Exchange and Mart portal allows motor stock to be broadcast to a dealer's own mobile and website, as well as additional sites of their choice to generate additional leads.

ExchangeandMart.co.uk was relaunched in 2016 and together with a new strategy to utilise the Newsquest audience of 200 regional newspapers and 170 regional newspaper websites which can reach 24.5 million visitors per month.

Exchange and Mart powers a number of Newsquest owned titles such as s1cars.com  and the Warrington Guardian.

In March 2015, Simon Davis of Carwow wrote an article on selling cars in which he wrote "Exchange and Mart is the final Auto Trader alternative on this list. Unlike the other options we have included, you will have to pay to feature your ad on Exchange and Mart. However, with prices starting at £5, this is a small price to pay when you consider the fact that the website has a monthly audience of 7.1 million people."

Exchange and Mart TV operated from 2003 to 2005.
PetOwnersOnline.com was live from 2005 to 2006.

Mobile

Exchange and Mart launched a mobile ready version of its site in 2011 and released an app in 2012, allowing users to search for vehicles via mobile devices.

title: Regulatory macrophages

text:
Regulatory macrophages (Mregs) represent a subset of anti-inflammatory macrophages. In general, macrophages are a very dynamic and plastic cell type and can be divided into two main groups: classically activated macrophages (M1) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2). M2 group can further be divided into sub-groups M2a, M2b, M2c, and M2d. Typically the M2 cells have anti-inflammatory and regulatory properties and produce many different anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4, IL-33, IL-10, IL-1RA, and TGF-β. M2 cells can also secrete angiogenic and chemotactic factors. These cells can be distinguished based on the different expression levels of various surface proteins and the secretion of different effector molecules.

M2a, mainly known as alternatively activated macrophages, are macrophages associated with tissue healing due to the production of components of extracellular matrix. M2a cells are induced by IL-4 and IL-13. M2b, generally referred to as regulatory macrophages (Mregs), are characterized by secreting large amounts of IL-10 and small amounts of IL-12. M2c, also known as deactivated macrophages, secrete large amounts of IL-10 and TGF-β. M2c are induced by glucocorticoids and TGF-β. M2d are pro-angiogenic cells that secrete IL-10, TGF-β, and vascular endothelial growth factor and are induced by IL-6 and A2 adenosine receptor agonist (A2R).

Mreg origin and induction
Mregs can arise following innate or adaptive immune responses. Mregs were first described after FcγR ligation by IgG complexes in the occurrence of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (e. g. lipopolysaccharide or lipoteichoic acid) acting through Toll-like receptors. Coculture of macrophages with regulatory T cells (Tregs) caused differentiation of macrophages toward Mreg phenotype. Similar effect provoked interaction of macrophages and B1 B cells. Mregs can even arise following stress responses. Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis leads to production of glucocorticoids that cause decreased production of IL-12 by macrophages.

Many cell types including monocytes, M1, and M2 can in a specific microenvironment differentiate to Mregs. Induction of Mregs is strongly linked with the interaction of Fc receptors located on the surface of Mregs with Fc fragments of antibodies. It has been shown that anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies interacting with Fcγ receptor of Mregs induce differentiation of Mregs through activation of STAT3 signaling pathway. Some pathogens can promote the transformation of cells into Mregs as an immune evasion mechanism. Two signals are needed for Mregs inducement. The first signal is stimulation by M-CSF, GM-CSF, PGE2, adenosine, glucocorticoid, or apoptotic cells. The second signal can be stimulation with cytokines or toll-like receptor ligands. The first signal promotes the differentiation of monocytes to macrophages and the second signal promotes immunosuppressive functions. In vitro, M-CSF, IFNγ, and LPS are used for the inducement of Mregs.

Other cells such as eosinophils and innate lymphoid cells type 2 (ILC2) can promote M2 polarization by cytokine secretion. IL-9 can function as a growth factor for ILC-2 and thereby assist in the induction of Mregs. Another cytokine that helps the induction of Mregs is IL-35 which is produced by Tregs.

Characterization and determination of Mregs
Surprisingly, Mregs resemble classically activated macrophages more than alternatively activated macrophages, due to higher biochemical similarity. The difference between M1 macrophages and Mregs is, inter alia, that Mregs secrete high levels of IL-10 and simultaneously low levels of IL-12. Out of all macrophages, Mregs show the highest expression of MHC II molecules and co-stimulatory molecules (CD80/CD86), which differentiates them from the alternatively activated macrophages, which show a very low expression of these molecules. Mregs also differ from alternatively activated macrophages by producing high levels of nitric oxide and low arginase activity. Lastly, they differ in the expression of FIIZ1 (Resistin-like molecule alpha1) and YM1 which are differentiation markers present on alternatively activated macrophages. Mregs are recognized by the expression of PD-L1, CD206, CD80/CD86, HLA-DR, and DHRS9 (dehydrogenase/reductase 9). DHRS9 has been recognized as a stable marker for Mregs in humans.

Biochemical and functional characterization of Mregs
The physiological role of Mregs is to dampen the immune response and immunopathology. Unlike classically activated macrophages, Mregs produce low levels of IL-12, which is important because IL-12 induces differentiation of naïve helper T cells to Th1 cells which produce high levels of IFNγ. Mregs do not contribute to the production of extracellular matrix because they express low levels of arginase.

Mregs show up-regulation of IL-10, TGFβ, PGE2, iNOS, IDO, and down-regulation of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, and TNF-α. By secreting TGF-β they help with the induction of Tregs and by producing IL-10 they contribute to the induction of tolerance and regulatory cell types. Mregs can directly inhibit the proliferation of activated T cells. It has been shown that Mregs co-cultured with T cells have a negative effect on the T-cellular ability to secrete IL-2 and IFN-γ.  Mregs can also inhibit the arginase activity of alternatively activated macrophages, the proliferation of fibroblasts, and can promote angiogenesis. The use of Mregs is widely studied as a potential cell-based immunosuppressive therapy after organ transplantation. Mregs could potentially solve the problems (susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancer diseases) associated with the current post-transplant therapy. Since Mregs are still producing nitric oxide they may be more suitable than current treatments, when appropriately stimulated.

title: Lamberto Tassinari

text:
Lamberto Tassinari (born 1945) is a writer and editor best known for his book John Florio: The Man Who Was Shakespeare. He is one of the founders of the transcultural magazine ViceVersa (not to be confused with a 1948 magazine of the same name), which he directed until its last issue in December 1996. Tassinari is one of the four writers to propose John Florio or Michelangelo Florio, among those who contested the paternity of Shakespeare's work.

Biography
Lamberto Tassinari was born in Castelfiorentino, Italy on February 28, 1945. He spent his childhood on the island of Elba. After obtaining a degree in Philosophy from the University of Florence, he lived in Rome, Milan and Turin where he worked as a teacher and in several publishing companies. He moved to Montreal and became a resident in 1981. Two years later he founded, along with three other writers, the transcultural magazine ViceVersa which he directed until its last issue in December 1996. ViceVersa was a quarterly which published articles in the original language (French, English, Italian and Spanish) without any translation in the Eighties and Nineties. Tassinari participated, as editor-in-chief, to many symposiums and international events: the forum L'État des Revues at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, 1987; the symposium Città Nuova, Nuova Città at the 31st Festival dei Popoli in Florence, 1990; and the symposium Pluralism and Literature at Carleton University, Ottawa, in 1990. He took part in the CISQ International Seminar Le Projet transculturel de ViceVersa in Rome and the Concordia University’s Conference La Transculture et ViceVersa, Montreal, 2007.

Between 1982 and 2007, he taught Italian language and literature at the University of Montreal.

Shakespeare authorship theory
In 2008 Lamberto Tassinari published a 378 page book Shakespeare? È il nome d'arte di John Florio (Shakespeare? It is John Florio's pen name)
which makes a case that both Shakespeare's fondness for Italian settings and his knowledge of Italy exceed what is credible for the historical William Shakespeare from Stratford. However, in a public discussion in 2011 Tassinari insisted that the Michelangelo or Michel Agnolo [sic] Florio who features in his scenarios is always Michelangelo Florio, the well attested North-Italian-born father of the Elizabethan humanist John Florio, and must not be equated with the Sicilian "Crollalanza", whom he calls an ill-documented "fantomatico cugino" (phantom/elusive cousin)
of John Florio (whom he considers to be the real Shakespeare).

title: Number One Riverside

text:
Number One Riverside is a multi-use public building in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. It incorporates Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council civic offices and customer service centre, Rochdale Central Library as well as conference facilities for community use and office space for third parties. The publicly accessible ground floor has restaurant and café spaces overlooking the River Roch. It was designed by FaulknerBrowns Architects and opened to the public in March 2013.

The contemporary building was designed to be energy efficient and incorporates renewable and low carbon technology including a biomass boiler, photo voltaic panels to generate electricity and solar panels to help heat water. Its green roof was designed to harvest rainwater and provide insulation.

The development of Number One Riverside enabled the council's estate to consolidate from 33 different sites into one building.

History
Number One Riverside replaced the municipal offices (that were known locally as 'The Black Box'), which were demolished in 2014 along with the bus station and multi-storey car park to make way for the Rochdale Riverside retail and leisure development.

Following extreme flooding on Boxing Day 2015, much of Number One Riverside was closed, with the library not reopening until 2017.

From February to June 2020, Number One Riverside hosted Dippy the dinosaur, the Natural History Museum's skeleton cast of a Diplodocus, as part of a nationwide tour.
