title: Guy Dailey

text:
Guy W. Dailey (July 24, 1827 – January 2, 1899) was a farmer from Hudson, Wisconsin,USA, who was a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from St. Croix County for a single one-year term.

Background
Dailey was born in Massena, New York, on July 24, 1827. He received a common school education and became a farmer. At some point he migrated to Canada West, and in 1850 moved from there to St. Croix County, settling in the town of Hudson.

Public office
He held various local offices, including chairman of his town, before being elected in 1876 to the Assembly 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), with 1,860 votes to 1,744 for the Republican G. M. Street. (The incumbent, fellow Reformer Philo Boyden, was not a candidate for re-election.) Dailey was assigned to the standing committee on privileges and elections.

He was not a candidate for re-election in 1877, and was succeeded by the Republican James Hill. (The Reform Party was breaking down, and there was no Reform candidate on the ballot.) In 1879, he tried to unseat Hill for his old seat, running as a Democrat (as the Reform Party had completely disintegrated by then), but Hill polled 1,695 votes to Dailey's 1,595.

After the legislature
He continued to farm, and died (described as "one of the well-known popular pioneer farmers of Hudson prairie") at his home on January 2, 1899, after an illness of several weeks. He and Mary Cook Dailey (1819 - 1905) are buried in the Willow River Cemetery in Hudson.

title: Alexander Gorban

text:
Alexander Nikolaevich Gorban ()  is a scientist of Russian origin, working in the United Kingdom. He is a professor at the University of Leicester, and director of its
Mathematical Modeling Centre. Gorban has contributed to many areas of fundamental and applied science, including statistical physics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, machine learning and mathematical biology.

Gorban is the author of about 20 books and 300 scientific publications. He has founded several scientific schools in the areas of physical and chemical kinetics, dynamical systems theory and artificial neural networks, and is ranked as one of the 1000 most cited researchers of Russian origin. In 2020, Gorban presented a keynote talk  at the IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence.

Gorban has supervised 6 habilitations and more than 30 PhD theses.

Biography

Alexander N. Gorban was born in Omsk on 19 April 1952. His father Nikolai Vasilievich Gorban was a historian and writer exiled to Siberia, and his mother was a literature teacher in Omsk Pedagogical Institute. In 1965-1966 he studied at the Specialized Educational Scientific Center on Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology of Novosibirsk State University (SESC NSU). In 1967, at the age of 15, he entered Novosibirsk State University but was excluded from it in autumn 1969 because of his participation in January 1968 in political student movements against the convictions of Soviet writers Alexander Ginzburg and Yuri Galanskov.

After studying for a year in a vocational technical school and following an individual extramural program at Omsk Pedagogical Institute, he obtained a master's degree with a thesis entitled Sets of removable singularities in Banach spaces and continuous maps under the supervision of Russian mathematician Vladimir B. Melamed.

In 1973-1976 he worked in the Omsk Institute Of Transport Engineers and published his first scientific works, but his scientific career could not develop successfully because of his past political record. He had several temporary work places from 1976–1978, each time being compelled to resign, but then moved to Krasnoyarsk where he was permanently employed at the Institute of Computational Modeling. In 1980, Gorban obtained his Candidate of Sciences diploma, corresponding to PhD in the Russian scientific degree hierarchy. His thesis title was Slow relaxations and bifurcations of omega-limit sets of dynamical systems (translated later into English ). His viva was organized by Olga Ladyzhenskaya, Mark Krasnosel'skii, and George M. Zaslavsky.

With the beginning of Perestroika he became the head of the Laboratory of Non-Equilibrium Systems in 1989 and completed his habilitation in 1990. In 1995 he became the deputy director of the Institute of Computational Modeling and head of the Computational Mathematics Department. At the same time, he taught at Krasnoyarsk State University (1981-1991) and subsequently headed the Neuroinformatics Department at the Krasnoyarsk State Technical University (1993-2006).

In the 1990s, Gorban visited several mathematical institutes in US and Europe, including the Clay Mathematics Institute, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques, ETH (2003-2004), Isaac Newton Institute.

In 2004, Gorban became Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Leicester University, UK, and the chair of its Mathematical Modeling Centre.

Gorban is a stepbrother of Svetlana Kirdina.

Research activity

Gorban's scientific contributions have been made in theoretical physics, mechanics, functional analysis, theory of natural selection, theory of adaptation, artificial neural networks, physical kinetics, bioinformatics. A top level view of scientific activity and the future of applied mathematics have been given in his book "Demon of Darwin: idea of optimality and natural selection", articles and public lectures.

In functional analysis, Gorban has investigated the properties of analytical Fredholm subsets in Banach spaces, formulated the relevant principle of maximum modulus and proved an analogue of the Remmert-Stein theorem.

In mathematical chemistry, Gorban has investigated the thermodynamical properties of chemical systems based on the analysis of Lyapunov's function trees in the polytope of conservation laws. He developed a theory of thermodynamically admissible paths for complex multidimensional systems of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics.

Together with Grigoriy Yablonsky and his team he developed methods of mathematical modeling and analysis of chemical system models for kinetics of catalytic reactions. He investigated the relaxation properties of some chemical systems and developed the singularity theory for transient processes of dynamical systems, developed the method of path summation for solving the chemical kinetics equations, developed a theory of dynamic limitation and asymptotology of chemical reaction networks which was applied to modeling of biological signalling networks and mechanisms of microRNA action on translation regulation.

Gorban has developed a series of methods for solving equations of chemical and physical kinetics, based on constructive methods of invariant manifold approximation. This theory has found many applications in the construction of physically consistent hydrodynamics as a part of Hilbert's sixth problem, modeling non-equilibrium flows, in the kinetic theory of phonons, for model reduction in chemical kinetics, and modeling liquid polymers. He developed new methods for application of the Lattice Boltzmann's Method, based on its thermodynamical properties. Gorban has developed a mathematical model of the Gorlov helical turbine and estimated its achievable efficiency in energy capture. He investigated general problems of geometrical interpretation of thermodynamics
and general properties of non-classical entropies.

In the mathematical theory of natural selection, Gorban developed a theory of a special class of dynamical systems with inheritance. He discovered and explained theoretically the universal phenomenon of system adaptation under stress conditions,
leading to simultaneous increase of correlations and variance in the multidimensional space of system parameters. The Anna Karenina principle developed by Gorban is now applied as a method of diagnostics and prognosis for economics and human physiology.

Gorban developed highly efficient parallel methods for artificial neural networks (ANN) learning, based on systematic use of duality of their functioning, and developed methods of knowledge extraction from data based on sparse ANNs. He proved the theorem of universal approximation properties of ANN. All these approaches have found numerous applications in existing expert systems. Together with I. Tyukin, he developed a series of methods and algorithms for fast, non-iterative and non-destructive corrections of errors in legacy Artificial intelligence systems. These methods are based on the concentration of measure phenomena, ideas of statistical mechanics and original stochastic separation theorems.

In applied statistics, Gorban developed methods for constructing principal manifolds (Elastic maps method) and their generalizations (principal graphs, principal trees), based on the mechanical analogy with elastic membrane. The method has found numerous applications for visualization and analysis of economical, sociological and biological data. In collaboration with E.M. Mirkes and other authors, used machine learning methods for connecting individual psychological characteristics and predisposition to consuming certain types of drugs.

In bioinformatics Gorban was one of the first to apply the method of frequency dictionaries and Principle of maximum entropy for analysis of nucleotide and amino acid sequences. He investigated the general properties of compact genomes and proved the existence of a 7-cluster structure in the genome sequence, which was applied for solving the de novo gene identification problem.

For years he worked as an art photographer and his images appeared on Argentine and foreign publications illustrating postcards, calendars, magazines and books on different subjects.

Style and subject
His painting highlights a typically Fauvist style filled with color, a constant exercise of complementary colors.
He mostly uses oil pastel as a medium of expression, but also highlights his work in graphite or hyperrealism in oil.
His work explores the human figure as the large planes of color. Despite being recognized as "The Painter of the Aconcagua", the theme of his work is varied but almost always related to the landscape, be it mountain, sea or forest. He has painted both in Ushuaia (Argentina) the southernmost city in the world, at the North Cape of Norway as well as on the summit of Mt.Aconcagua.
Doura has expressed that he feels a "post-impressionist" but in the 21st century.

title: David Lewis Gifford

text:
David Lewis Gifford (September 18, 1844 – January 13, 1904) was a Union Army soldier in the American Civil War who received the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, for extraordinary heroism shown on May 24, 1864, while serving as a Private with Company B, 4th Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry, at Ashepoo River, South Carolina. His Medal of Honor was issued on January 21, 1897. He received his Medal of Honor following the steamer the USS Boston running aground on an Oyster bed, leaving 400 individuals within range of Confederate artillery. Gifford and four other men - led by George W. Brush - manned a small boat and ferried stranded soldiers to a safe area.

Life

Early life
Gifford was born in Dartmouth, Massachusetts on September 18, 1844, and joined the Army in December 1863. He was transferred to the Navy in June 1864, and was discharged with the rank of ordinary seaman in August 1865.

David Lewis Gifford was born to Mercy Kendrick and David Gifford in a farmhouse at the head of the Apponagansett River. He lost two of his siblings within a few weeks, however his sister Amy survived to adulthood. When Gifford was 16 he took out his protection papers, indicating he was about to go to sea. This may have been influenced by the fact that his neighbors - the Wings - were well known in the whaling industry.

Civil war service
Three years after taking out his protection papers, at the age of nineteen, Gifford enlisted with the Four Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry, Company B. Under Major David B. Keith. The company was newly raised and composed mostly of New Bedford area men. Giffords father, who was often on the Dartmouth militia rolls, died of heart disease a month after Gifford enlisted. Gifford signed his enlistment paper in November 3, 1863. On March 20, 1864 his unit sailed out of Boston aboard the steamer Western Metropolis. The steamer arrived at Hilton Head, South Carolina on April 1, 1864 where they were assigned to the department of the South headquartered there. In Giffords company was also John H. Ricketson, a clerk from Dartmouth who had transferred from Company F 3rd MV Infantry. Giffords company was organized and sent to the front following President Lincoln’s calls for 200,000 men on February 1 and March 14, 1864 along with the 5th cavalry regiment and 3 light battalions, 5 regiments, and 9 infantry companies - all from Massachusetts.

On 24 May 1864, the United States paddle-wheel steamer USS Boston left Hilton Head, South Carolina. The ship carried 300 men, and 80 horses and was part of a larger plan to cut off Confederate railroads connecting Savannah, Georgia to Charleston, South Carolina. Under orders to follow a smaller ship down the Ashepoo River, the ship missed its turn off of the Ashepoo and became stuck on a sandbar. By one in the morning the Confederate Military in the area had congregated at Chapmans Fort with heavy artillery. The Boston was trapped directly in front of the Confederate fort and was practically indefensible. two rebel 6-pounder guns hit the Boston with over one hundred shots. U.S. Army 1st Lt. George Washington Brush boarded a gunboat with 25 armed men from the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment to assist the Boston as sharpshooters. However, once they boarded the boat the Confederate artillery resumed fire and the gunboats captain refused to go any further. Brush took the only small boat available from the Boston and asked for four volunteers to help rescue the soldiers onboard the ship. Gifford immediately volunteered, along with his two closest friends in the military, William Downey, and John Duffey, as well as Patrick Scanlan. All from the New Bedford area. Under heavy Confederate sharpshooter and artillery fire the five men ferried the men onboard the Boston - mostly from the 34th United States Colored Infantry Regiment - to safety. Each of the men took a pair of oars and made their way to the sunken ship. Soldiers on the Boston were leaping off of the ship to escape rebel fire. Once they boarded the rescue craft the Confederates switched to that ship as their principal target. The boat, which could only carry thirty men per load, was peppered with fire. They lost several soldiers onboard and came close to floundering several times. After getting all the soldiers safely from the Boston to the south side of the river they set fire and burned the steamer to the ground. All five men involved in the rescuereceived Medals of Honor.

Following his heroics at the Ashepoo River, Gifford transferred from the cavalry to the Navy on June 8, 1864. He would serve aboard the USS Braziliera until May 1, 1865. While serving on the vessel he participated in expeditions into Simon’s Sound, Georgia. The ship penetrated around 40 miles inland and destroyed salt works, liberated slaves, and burned 1,300 pounds of sea-island cotton. In April 1865 the Braziliera was sent north, Gifford left the ships crew and from May 2 to June 17 1865 he served on the Princeton, from June 18 to August 14, 1865 he served aboard the 1,150 ton steamship South Carolina.

Postwar voyages and adventures
Gifford was the captain of the China from June 1872 until April 1874.

On July 1, 1875, Gifford was the captain on a whaling ship, the Young Phoenix, that saved the lives of several passengers on the Strathmore, which had run aground near Madagascar on the Crozet Islands in the Indian Ocean. The Strathmore was travelling from London to New Zealand when it ran aground on a volcanic island. 45 of the 89 passengers and crew had died before Gifford arrived. He had noticed the ship's passengers' signal and ferried the stranded passengers to the ship over the course of two days. The first day, he ordered that the only woman who survived the shipwreck be brought aboard the Young Phoenix- Fanny Wordsworth, who met with Gifford's wife, Eleanor J. Gifford, who had accompanied him on the voyage. According to Wordsworth, the previous night she had had a premonition and had seen Eleanor Gifford's face in a dream. The ship was too crowded, however, and Gifford transferred twenty of the Strathmore's passengers to the Sierra Morena. Earlier in the voyage, Gifford had picked up 30 passengers from a derelict ship, .

He was later honored by the people of Mauritius with the Mauritius Medal for the rescue. He was also honored by the Massachusetts Humane Society with a silver medal. He was also awarded a silver cup. He was partially reimbursed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom with a plate worth £21, led by Charles Adderley. Additionally, the New Zealand government awarded him a gold watch.

In mid July 1881 Gifford was shipwrecked on the Daniel Webster five miles south of Point Barrow, Alaska. The ship was crushed by ice and sank. After the Daniel Webster sank, Gifford talked with an Inuit who informed him that another ship, the Jeanette, had also sunk nearby. Gifford then travelled south to Point Belcher, where he transferred to the Coral. He changed ship again, to the schooner R. B. Handy of San Francisco. On that ship he went south to Saint Lawrence Bay, Chukotka, where the Russian ship Strelock had arrived 48 hours earlier. Gifford conveyed the information he had learned about the Jeanette to the Russian ship, before returning home to the New Bedford area.

In 1884, Gifford reenlisted in the navy and participated in the rescue of the Lady Franklin Bay Polar Expedition as an ice master on the HMS Alert. In his report on the rescue, Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley called out Gifford as giving him assistance during the expedition. However, differing opinions on ship discipline required Schley to discharge Gifford after returning to the United States.

Gifford died at the age of 59, on January 13, 1904.

Legacy
Gifford was buried at the South Dartmouth Cemetery in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Where he was honored with a marker. He was additionally honored with a statue outside the Dartmouth Middle School, a project spearheaded by Dartmouth natives Doris Copley, and Beverly Morrison Glennon. His heroics were also the subject of a local television film in Dartmouth.

Winston Place is a historic residence in Valley Head, Alabama.  William O. Winston, a lawyer from Rogersville, Tennessee, moved to DeKalb County in 1838.  Winston would later serve in the Alabama House of Representatives and was a major investor in the Wills Valley Railroad, which would later connect Chattanooga with Birmingham.  Soon after arriving in Alabama, Winston built a two-story I-house.  In the late 19th century, the exterior was extensively modified with a two-story, wrap-around, Colonial Revival porch and tetrastyle portico.  Around 1930, rear outbuildings were connected to the house, giving it an L-shaped plan.  The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

title: Life Is a Minestrone

text:
"Life Is a Minestrone" is a 1975 song by 10cc released as a lead single from their third album, The Original Soundtrack.

Background
The track was written after Lol Creme and Eric Stewart were driving home from Strawberry Studios and a BBC Radio presenter said something that they only partly heard, but which Creme interpreted as "life is a minestrone". Stewart and Creme believed the phrase to be a good title for a song on the grounds that life is, according to Stewart in a BBC Radio Wales interview, "a mixture of everything we pile in there". They had the song written in a day.

Personnel
Adapted from the liner notes of The Original Soundtrack.
 Lol Creme – vocals, piano, percussion, electric guitar
 Kevin Godley – drums, timbales, percussion, backing vocals
 Eric Stewart – electric guitar, backing vocals
 Graham Gouldman – bass, guitars, backing vocals

Release
The song was released as the lead single from The Original Soundtrack as the band had reservations regarding the 6:00+ ballad "I'm Not in Love" being the lead single. In the United States, "Life Is a Minestrone" was not released until after the release of "I'm Not in Love", so the band re-released the record over there in 1976 with "Lazy Ways" from the next album, How Dare You!, as its B-side.

The B-side "Channel Swimmer" appears as a bonus track on the later CD release of The Original Soundtrack.

Reception

Commercial
The song charted at no. 7 on the UK Singles Chart, no. 12 on the Netherlands Singles Chart, and no. 7 on the Irish Singles Chart in 1975; in 1976, it charted at no. 104 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Critical
In his review for AllMusic, Dave Thompson calls the song "utterly daft, wholly compulsive", and a "deadly accurate barrage of disconnected theories, thoughts and ghastly geographical puns, all tied together by that bizarre nomenclatural observation and a fadeout which is pure Paul McCartney". He notes that "reducing the human condition to the contents of a well-stacked pantry, composers Lol Creme and Eric Stewart combine for a truly joyous slice of pop nonsense, and one of 10cc's most effervescent hit singles".

title: Will E. Keller

text:
Will E. Keller (January 30, 1868 - January 24, 1935) was an American businessman. He was president of the Globe Grain and Milling Company; president of the Valley Ice Company at Fresno, California and Bakersfield, California; president of the Globe Ice and Cold Storage Company at El Paso, Texas; president of the San Joaquin Valley Farm Lands Company; director of the Ralston Iron Works, San Francisco; and director of the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Los Angeles.

Early years
Born in Woodville, Mississippi in 1868, he was the son of Charles E. and Agnes (Phares) Keller. He received his early education in Dallas, Texas, attending the public schools there until the age of 14. He was first employed in the teaming business, which he followed for two years, being engaged later as a railway postal clerk for a year.

Career
Following the line of interests pursued by his father, Keller went into street paving and grading contracting in Dallas and Waco, Texas, which he forsook in 1888 to come to San Diego, California. September, 1889, saw his return to Dallas, where he then found occupation in the banking business as bookkeeper for a year and teller for two years. Keller returned to California, this time to Wilmington, where, together with Edward Nathaniel McDonald, he went into the feed and grain business under the firm name of the McDonald Company. Later this company made their headquarters at Los Angeles, where they built a feed mill and were organized as the McDonald Grain and Milling Company, McDonald being the president and Keller the secretary and manager. As the business increased, they also went into flour milling, putting up their first mill at 913 East Third street in 1898. At McDonald's death, Keller was elected president and in 1902 the name of the company was changed to the Globe Grain and Milling Company.

Besides being president of the Globe Grain and Milling Company, Mr. Keller is president of the Valley Ice Company at Fresno and Bakersfield, Cal., which does all the car icing for the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe Railroads; president of the Globe Ice and Cold Storage Company at El Paso, Texas; president of the San Joaquin Valley Farm Lands Company, controlling sixty-five thousand acres known as the James ranch; director of the Ralston Iron Works, San Francisco, and of the Merchants’ National Bank, Los Angeles.

Personal life
Keller was a Mason, a member of the Southern California Lodge, Signet Chapter, Golden Gate Commandery, San Francisco, and belonged to the Shrine in Los Angeles. Socially, he identified with the California Club, the Los Angeles Athletic Club and the Los Angeles Country Club, his residence being at West Sixth street and Shatto place, Los Angeles. Politically he espoused Republican principles.

title: Little Darby Creek (Ohio)

text:
The Little Darby Creek is a tributary to the Darby Creek System in central Ohio. The creeks are part of the Scioto River drainage basin.  Little Darby Creek runs from an area near the Lafayette-Plain City Road Bridge downstream to the confluence with Big Darby Creek near the Darby Creek Metro Park.  The village of Georgesville, Ohio forms the western edge of the Confluence.

The Little Darby and Big Darby were listed as a state Scenic River in 1984.  The creeks were listed as national Scenic Rivers in 1994.

Little Darby Creek for many years appeared to be bigger than Big Darby Creek at their confluence.  This was due to a concrete fill dam across the path of the Little Darby Creek just north of the confluence.  It was locally known as Oakie's dam.  The Franklin County Metro Park System later removed this structure.  The Little Darby creek bed has returned to it natural condition and the presence of the dam is now very hard to detect.

title: Cartography of Ukraine

text:
The cartography of Ukraine involves the history of surveying and the construction of maps of Ukraine.

Early maps
Maps of Ukraine have been produced since the late mediaeval period.  During the  Turkish wars between 1568 and 1918, high-quality French maps were kept as state secrets amid diplomatic negotiations, while 20th-century maps have reflected the region's multiple changes of government.

Ukraine is largely absent from the maps of the Turkish manuscript mapping-tradition that flourished during the reign of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror (); the  Mediterranean received its own section in world maps, but typical Turkish maps of the period omitted the Black Sea, and the entire region of the Rus' appeared as just a small portion of Asia between the  Caspian and the Mediterranean.

17th century
Two centuries later  Guillaume le Vasseur, sieur de Beauplan became one of the more prominent cartographers working with Ukrainian data.  His 1639 descriptive map of the region was the first such one produced, and after he published a pair of Ukraine maps of different scale in 1660, his drawings were republished throughout much of Europe.  A copy of de Beauplan's maps played a crucial rôle in negotiations between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire in 1640; its depiction of the disputed Kodak Fortress was of such quality that the head Polish ambassador, Wojciech Miaskowski, deemed it dangerous to exhibit it to his Turkish counterparts.

Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola's 1684 map of Tartaria d'Europa
includes "Vkraina o Paese dei Cossachi de Zaporowa" [Ukraine or the land of the Zaporozhian Cossacks].

18th century
English-language maps of 1769 depicted the Crimean Khanate as part of its suzerain, the Ottoman Empire, with clear boundaries between the Muslim-ruled states in the south and the  Christian-ruled states to the north.  Another map from the eighteenth century, inscribed in Latin, was careful to depict a small buffer zone between Kiev and the Polish border.

Modern maps
In more recent history, maps of the country have reflected its tumultuous political status and relations with Russia; for example, the city known as "Lvov" () during the Soviet era (until 1991) was depicted as "Leopol" or "Lemberg" during its time (1772-1918) in the Habsburg realms, while post-Soviet maps produced in Ukraine have referred to it by its endonym of "Lviv" (). (Under Polish rule (1272-1772) it went by the Polish name of Lwów).

title: Imputation of sin

text:
In Reformed theology, the imputation of sin is the crediting of Adam's sin to the account of every individual human being. Under the framework of covenant theology, Adam is considered as a "federal head" or representative of all of his progeny. His sinful act of eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which was forbidden by God had consequences for all humanity. This is explained as the sin being imputed, or accounted, to individual humans. A person that has sin imputed to them becomes guilty of transgression before God for being in violation to his laws and is subject to his punishments in the life hereafter.

Several theories have been proposed by Reformed theologians to explain how Adam's sin is transmitted to others. The "immediate imputation" view holds that when Adam sinned, all of humanity became sinful simply by that act, without further consideration. Under the "mediate imputation" view (due to Joshua Placaeus), humans inherited a proclivity to sin because of Adam's act. In recent years, theologians have begun to explain the transmission of original sin by socialization and character deformation rather than imputation.

title: John Power (Carrickshock hurler)

text:
John Power (born 26 August 1992) is an Irish hurler who played as a left corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.

Born in Carrickshock, County Kilkenny, Power first played competitive hurling during his schooling at St. Kieran's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2014 championship. Since then he has become a regular member of the team and has won two All-Ireland medals and two Leinster medals.

At club level Power plays with Carrickshock.

His father, Richie Power Snr, and his brother, Richie Power Jnr, are also All-Ireland medallists with Kilkenny.

Playing career

Colleges

During his schooling at St. Kieran's College in Kilkenny, Power established himself as a key member of the senior hurling team. In 2010 he won his first Leinster medal following a 3-13 to 1-11 defeat of Dublin Colleges. On 3 April 2010 St. Kieran's faced Ardscoil Rís in the All-Ireland decider. Power's side trailed by five points as the game entered the final quarter, however, St. Kieran's staged a magnificent comeback, hitting 1-5 without reply including a Michael Brennan goal in the 51st minute, to claim a 2-11 to 2-8 victory. It was Power's first All-Ireland medal.

Power added a second successive Leinster medal to his collection in 2011, as St. Kieran's recorded a 3-7 to 0-7 victory over Castlecomer Community School. On 2 April 2011 St. Kieran's renewed their rivalry with Ardscoil Rís in the All-Ireland final. A Thomas O'Hanrahan goal deep into stoppage time secured a 2-10 to 1-11 victory for St. Kieran's and a second All-Ireland medal for Power.

Minor and under-21

Power first played for Kilkenny in 2009 when he joined the minor side. He won his first Leinster medal that year following Kilkenny's 1-19 to 0-11 trouncing of Wexford in the provincial decider. Galway provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland decider on 5 September 2010. A devastating second quarter display was pivotal in powering the Westerners to a 2-15 to 2-11 victory.

In 2010 Power won a second Leinster medal following a 1-20 to 0-10 trouncing of Dublin. The subsequent All-Ireland decider on 4 September 2011 pitted Kilkenny against Clare. "The Cats" were made to work hard before securing a narrow 2-10 to 0-14 victory, giving Power an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship medal.

Two years later Power was a key member of the Kilkenny under-21 team. He won his sole Leinster medal that year following a 4-24 to 1-13 trouncing of Laois. Kilkenny later faced Clare in the All-Ireland decider on 15 September 2012. A powerful second-half display, in which they outscored Kilkenny by 1-10 to 0-4, saw Clare take their second ever All-Ireland title in the grade.

Senior

In 2014 Power established himself on the senior team. He subsequently collected his first National Hurling League medal, as Kilkenny secured a narrow one-point 2-25 to 1-27 extra-time victory over Tipperary. He subsequently secured a Leinster medal, as a dominant Kilkenny display gave "the Cats" a 0-24 to 1-9 defeat of Dublin. On 7 September 2014 Power was on the bench as Kilkenny drew with Tipperary in the All-Ireland decider. He was added to the starting fifteen for the subsequent replay on 27 September 2014. Goals from Power and his brother Richie inspired Kilkenny to a 2-17 to 2-14 victory. It was his first All-Ireland medal.

Power won a second successive Leinster medal in 2015 following a 1-25 to 2-15 defeat of Galway in the provincial decider. He was listed as a substitute when Kilkenny renewed their rivalry with Galway in the All-Ireland decider on 6 September 2015. The team struggled in the first half, however, a T. J. Reid goal and a dominant second half display, which limited Galway to just 1-4, saw Kilkenny power to a 1-22 to 1-18 victory. Power was introduced as a substitute for Ger Aylward and collected his second All-Ireland medal on the field of play.

title: Spindle Piece

text:
Spindle Piece is a bronze sculpture series by Henry Moore.  Unusually, the sculpture was made in four sizes: a plaster maquette cast in bronze as Maquette for Spindle Piece (LH 591) in 1968, a larger plaster working model which was also cast in bronze as Spindle Piece (LH 592) in 1968, a larger series of bronze sculptures Large Spindle Piece (LH 593) cast in 1974, and the largest model, known as The Spindle (LH 593a), carved in travertine in 1981.

Background
The work is part of Moore's Spindle series of sculptures, which was exhibited in Hyde Park in London in 1968.  The series was inspired by a detail of Michelangelo's painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where God's hand reaches towards Adam's finger.  The sculpture is an amorphous twisting flowing form, pierced by a hole, with a point bursting out from each side.  The opposite points suggest the possibility of rotating the convoluted work.  Moore said, "Sculpturally, [Michelangelo's painting is] two points just about to meet. This work is on the same theme, only the two fingers are going out, not in."

Moore also drew inspiration from a piece of flint, cast by Moore in clay, and drawings from 1938; and the work is related to his 1939 work Three Points (LH 211): Moore said, "Here again the points are used to give action: inwards in the case of the Three Points, but here to give action outwards." Another sculpture with a similar theme but with inward-facing points is his Oval with Points (LH 596).

Maquette
Moore first made a maquette in plaster which was cast in bronze in 1968,  high, known as Maquette for Spindle Piece (LH 591).  An example is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Spindle Piece
The maquette was enlarged into a plaster working model  high which was cast in bronze at the Art Bronze Foundry in London in 1968 in an edition of "10+1" (one being retained by the artist) known as Spindle Piece (LH 592).

Examples of the bronze working model are displayed at the Hakone Open-Air Museum in Japan, and the  in Lisbon.  One in private hands was sold at Sotheby's in February 2013 for £301,250.

Large Spindle Piece
The working model was then enlarged to create an edition of "6+1" bronzes (including the artist's cast, numbered "0/6"), cast by the Hermann Noack foundry in Berlin in 1974, entitled Large Spindle Piece, which is  high.

The Large Spindle Piece casts are displayed at:
 The science quadrangle at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio
 Eleanor Tinsley Park in Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston, Texas (originally sited at Tranquility Park, Houston) (cast 4/6)
 Corniche Road in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
 Hakone Open-Air Museum in Hakone Japan
 Miyagi Museum of Art in Sendai, Japan
 North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina

 the sculptor's model (cast 0/6) which was displayed at the British Council in Spring Gardens near Trafalgar Square in London from 1981 to 1996; after a period at the Henry Moore Foundation in Perry Green, Hertfordshire, and at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, it has been loaned to Network Rail to stand outside King's Cross station in London.

The large model was enlarged again and carved in travertine marble in Italy in 1981; the work, known as The Spindle, is  high and weighs about 70 tons.  The stone sculpture was dropped in Italy and required extensive repair before it was shipped to the US to become the centrepiece of a fountain in the lobby of the InterContinental Miami which was built around the monumental sculpture.  It is the largest sculpture by Moore in private ownership.

text:
The 2014 Stu Sells Oakville Tankard was held from September 4 to 7 at the Oakville Curling Club in Oakville, Ontario as part of the 2014–15 World Curling Tour. It was held on the second week of the Tour, and was the first event (along with the Good Times Bonspiel) of the Women's Curling Tour. It was also the first event of the Ontario Curling Tour season, and acted as the Ontario Curling Tour championship of the previous season. Both the men's and women's event was held in a round robin format, and the purses for the men's and women's events were CAD$30,000 and CAD$24,000, respectively.

Mike McEwen and his rink from Winnipeg became the first team from outside of Ontario to win the men's event, defeating Toronto's John Epping rink in the final. On the women's side, it was an all-Swiss final, with Silvana Tirinzoni's rink defeating her compatriot, Alina Pätz in the final. It was the second time a team from outside Ontario won the event, and the first time that no Ontario rink made it to the final.

He did better a few weeks later in two matches against the tourists: 10 and 32 for a South African Colts XI and 17 and 92 for Transvaal. However, after that he played only two more first-class matches, in 1965–66.

title: Richard Ureña

text:
Richard Ureña Castillo (born February 26, 1996) is a Dominican professional baseball shortstop for the York Revolution of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Professional career

Toronto Blue Jays
Ureña was signed as an international free agent by the Blue Jays for $725,000 in 2012, and played his first professional season split between the Dominican Summer League Blue Jays and Gulf Coast League Blue Jays. In 64 games with the DSL Blue Jays, he batted .296 with one home run and 35 runs batted in (RBI). He then played seven games in the Gulf Coast League, batting .333 with three RBI. Ureña was promoted to the Rookie Advanced Bluefield Blue Jays of the Appalachian League for the start of the 2014 season, and recorded a 28-game streak of reaching base safely. In 53 games, he hit .318 with two home runs and 20 RBI before he was promoted to the Short Season-A Vancouver Canadians on August 21. Ureña appeared in nine games for Vancouver, batting .242 with five RBI. On September 24, Ureña was named the Most Valuable Player for Bluefield in 2014. He began the 2015 season with the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts. On June 5, Ureña was named a Midwest League midseason All-Star. At that time, he led the Lugnuts with seven home runs, and had 35 RBI. Ureña was called up to the Advanced-A Dunedin Blue Jays in early July, and played 30 games there before returning to Lansing. In 121 games played, he batted .262 with 16 home runs and 66 RBI. In the offseason, he appeared in 33 games with the Gigantes del Cibao of the Dominican Winter League. Batting against pitchers that were over seven years of age older than him on average, Ureña hit .258 with five RBI.

Ureña was invited to Major League spring training on January 12, 2016, and reassigned to minor league camp on March 12. He was assigned to the Dunedin Blue Jays to open the 2016 minor league season. Ureña recorded his first career five-hit game on July 9 which gave him 91 hits on the season, raising his batting average to .292 and tying him with Scott Kingery for first place in the Florida State League. On July 27, Ureña was ranked 91st on MLB's Top 100 Prospects list, and was named the Blue Jays top prospect. He was promoted to the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats on August 3, and had three hits in his debut that day. On August 10, Ureña hit three triples against the Bowie Baysox, which set a Fisher Cats single-game record. In 127 games in 2016, he hit .295 with eight home runs and 59 RBI. The Blue Jays added him to their 40-man roster after the season. Ureña spent the entire 2017 minor league season with Double-A New Hampshire, and hit .247 with five home runs and 60 RBI in a career-high 129 games played.

Following his September callup to the Blue Jays in the previous season, Ureña was assigned to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons to start the 2018 season. However, due to an intercostal strain which included a rehab assignment with the Dunedin Blue Jays, he did not join the Bisons until May 2.

Major Leagues

title: Murray United FC

text:
Murray United FC is an Australian soccer club encapsulating NSW's Southern Riverina and North East Victoria. The club is based in Albury/Wodonga and competes in the National Premier Leagues Victoria 3 competition. The club plays its home matches at La Trobe University Albury-Wodonga campus located in Wodonga.

History
In early 2014, it was announced that an application had been submitted to Football Federation Victoria for a side under the name Border FC. The club was officially launched on 27 May 2014, as part of Australia's new look second tier of football, but under the name Murray United FC. The change of name was to capture all things synonymous with the region. Murray United FC will promote opportunities for those wanting to play high performance football from the local competition, the Albury Wodonga Football Association (AWFA), and will begin in the second tier of the NPL, the National Premier Leagues Victoria 2.

La Trobe University and Wodonga TAFE are the team's foundation sponsors.

On 29 September 2014, former Woking FC player & player/coach of local side Twin City Wanderer's FC, Matt Gray, was appointed head coach for the inaugural year. This was short lived however, with the region's player realising the demands of coaching & playing was too much, resigning in late December. He was replaced by dual code premiership coach Mick Richards, who won flags in the local AFL and soccer competitions.

On 31 October 2014, Murray United FC played their first match against external opposition, defeating Cobram Roar FC, a combined team of Cobram SC & Cobram Victory players seeking to participate in the AWFA next season. The final score was 7–0 to Murray United FC and was the last chance for players to impress before the 2015 squad announcement.

In a restructuring ahead of the 2015 season, the NPL2 division was divided into two parallel conferences with Murray United competing in the Eastern Conference.

Murray United played their first ever official game on 21 February 2015, going down 3–2 at La Trobe University to Box Hill United SC. Adam Waters and Zac Walker scored the goals. The club's first NPL2 point came the following week, drawing 1–1 with Springvale White Eagles FC at home. The club secured its first win of the season in Round 4 against Nunawading City FC, winning 2–1 through James Coutts and Zac Walker goals. The club entered a tumultuous period, losing five games in a row, including a 9–1 drubbing at the hands of Melbourne Victory FC Youth in Round 10. Late in the year, head manager Mick Richards resigned from his position, stating the toll on his family and business commitments as the primary reason. Murray United ended the season with 6 wins, 4 draws and 18 losses, finishing in 8th place in the NPL2 East division and 17th overall.

In April 2016, Murray United FC announced that former Socceroo Joshua Kennedy would be the club's ambassador. The following month, following a barren run of results, United confirmed the signing of former Salford City FC captain Chris Lynch, joining Ashley Dunn as the two Salford City alumni in the squad.

On 31 January 2017, Murray United announced the signing of former A-League legend Archie Thompson on a guest stint.

On 15 August 2019, senior head coach Elliot Jones announced he would be resigning at the end of the 2019 season and the following month Zac Walker announced that he would be retiring at the end of the season. Walker scored in the last game of the season, bowing out with 57 goals for Murray United, a club record. United finished the season in 8th place, enduring relegation to NPL3 for 2020.

In October 2019, Murray announced that it had appointed Igor Srbinovski as its new senior head coach on a two-year deal.

Rivalries
Murray United has a rivalry with fellow North-East Victorian NPL team Goulburn Valley Suns FC, with both teams joining NPL Victoria in 2014 as regional expansion clubs.

title: John Reid Wolfskill

text:
John Reid Wolfskill (September 16, 1804 – May 27, 1897) was a California pioneer who helped establish development of California's agricultural industry in the Sacramento Valley in the 19th century. In 1842, Wolfskill was the first settler to plant vineyards and fruit trees there. Born in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, he migrated to join his brother William in California, where they bought land near Sacramento. Wolfskill became a pioneer of Solano County: "he was the first English speaking man to settle in the area around what is now Winters, California".

His brother, William Wolfskill, had migrated earlier to California and also contributed to its agricultural development, primarily in Southern California in the area of present-day Los Angeles. After they were settled, their younger brothers Milton, Mathus, and Sarchal Wolfskill joined John on his land grant Rancho de los Putos, later renamed as the Wolfskill Ranch. In 1935 Wolfskill's descendants donated 100 acres of the ranch to University of California, Davis for use as an experimental orchard.

Early years
Wolfskill was born near Richmond, Kentucky on September 16, 1804. He was the son of Joseph and Sarah Reid Wolfskill. His paternal grandfather, Joseph Wolfskill, was a native of Germany, who immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Joseph had lived in North Carolina a while, and moved to central Kentucky. Wolfskill's maternal grandfather, John Reid, after whom Wolfskill was named, was a native of Ireland and immigrant to the British colonies. During the American Revolutionary War, he was taken prisoner by the British at Charleston, South Carolina. He later settled in Kentucky.

The Wolfskill family were among early migrants from Kentucky to Missouri in 1809, where they settled at Boone's Lick near the Missouri River west of St. Louis, which was developing rapidly based on the lucrative fur trade. John and his siblings grew up on the frontier.

Career
In 1828, Wolfskill set out from Missouri for Santa Fe, New Mexico, which was still part of independent Mexico. His older brother William Wolfskill had gone there some time before and worked as a fur trapper in the area for ten years. From there John traveled to Paris, Durango, Colorado, also part of Mexico, and to Chihuahua, Mexico. For the next four years, he worked as a guard in Mexico for the transport of silver treasure between Chihuahua and Matamoras, making a total of eleven expeditions.

After some time, Wolfskill took passage from Matamoras by ship to New Orleans, and thence up the Mississippi River, returning to his former home in Missouri. He lived and worked there for two or three years. In 1836, he returned to New Mexico. Planning to buy mules to sell in Missouri, he went to Oposura, Sonora. Indians stole all his mules during his journey. He was trying to raise money to join his brother William in Los Angeles, California, from where John had last heard of him. Wolfskill determined to set out from Santa Fe for California.

Wolfskill's brother William, who had become a naturalized Mexican citizen, was able to own land under the Mexican government rules. He had received a large land grant in May 1842 in that area that developed as Winters, California in what is now Yolo County. After John joined him, they named the property Rancho Rio de los Putos, after a nearby creek. The name was derived by Spanish colonists from Lake Miwok puṭa wuwwe, meaning "grassy creek."

Wolfskill was later joined here by three of their younger brothers; Milton, Mathus, and Sarchal. A 1987 history of Yolo County identifies Wolfskill as the first settler to plant fruit trees and vineyards in this area, in 1842.

According to a biographical note by the University of California, Wolfskill began to cultivate a few crops in 1851 along Putah Creek (formerly called Rio de los Putos by Spanish colonists), along with an orchard and vineyard in the Sacramento Valley. He bought fig, pear and English walnut trees, and grape cuttings in Los Angeles.

Initially he had devoted the rancho chiefly to stock-raising, selling meat supplies to the many mining camps that were booming in the late 1840s and early 1850s during the early mining period. In the 1860s, he and his brothers switched to wheat-growing, and enclosed their land with fences to keep animals out. Wolfskill and his brother, William, divided their interests in the rancho, each taking one-half. John devoted most of his rancho to fruit-culture. A branch railroad was built to cross the ranch not far from Wolfskill's old home, the nearest station being Winters. William was most influential in agricultural development in Los Angeles, where he was mostly based.

Personal life
In 1858, at the age of 54, Wolfskill married Susan Cooper, a daughter of Maj. Stephen Cooper. They had four children together: a son Edward and three daughters, Melinda, Jennie, and Frances.

Wolfskill ultimately divided his ranch among his children. In his last years he lived with his married daughter Frances and her husband Samuel Taylor. Wolfskill died in 1897.

Legacy
In 1935, Wolfskill's heirs deeded 100 acres of the Wolfskill Ranch in Winters to the University of California, Davis, which had been founded in 1908. The land was to be used for an experimental orchard.

His nephew Timoteo was a partner in the Lazard & Wolfskill dry goods store. It developed as a  City of Paris (Los Angeles) department store known as the City of Paris, the first such business in the city.

title: Church of God School of Ministry

text:
The Church of God School of Ministry is a postsecondary educational institution in Cleveland, Tennessee, United States. Historically, the school was affiliated with the Church of God, a Christian denomination.

History

The Church of God School of Ministry was first visualized by Dr. Paul L. Walker. It was his vision for every Church of God minister to have the opportunity for ministerial training and education whether or not he/she could leave the pastorate and travel to Cleveland or whether or not he/she could afford the studies. This vision became reality in 1998 when the Church of God Executive Committee and the Council of Eighteen created the School of Ministry as the vehicle to provide this ministerial training, regardless of educational background or ability to pay. Dr. Donald S. Aultman, an experienced educator, was selected to guide the creation and development of the School of Ministry.

The school began its work in September 1998. After acquiring a staff and finding a place to work, the school began concentrating its efforts on developing the curriculum, which is now a certificate
program on the college level—Certificate In Ministerial Studies (CIMS).

Theology and academics

The school is authorized for operation as a postsecondary educational institution by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.
