title: Scott Stamper

text:
Scott Stamper (born March 10, 1962) is an American club owner, booking agent, and talent scout. He is the owner of The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ and founder of the Golden T-Bird Awards, currently known as The Asbury Music Awards. Stamper also founded the Wave Gathering.

Early years
Stamper grew up in Kearny, New Jersey. He attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where he worked as a DJ at the college's radio station, WRSU 88.7 FM Rutgers Radio. During that time, Stamper helped to raise funds to support the station. He also chose new artists to be played on the air, and worked with the staff and musicians to present benefit concerts on College Avenue in New Brunswick.

T-Bird Cafe
Stamper later moved south to Belmar, New Jersey. Beginning in 1991, Stamper managed a small bar on Main Street in Asbury Park called T-Bird Cafe. Stamper started out booking shows for weekends, but within six month was booking five to seven shows a week. Many new bands found a home at T-Birds Cafe. When it closed after a few years, the family of artists moved down to the next corner on Main Street and played at the new club opened by Stamper and Adam Jon Weisberg, called The Saint.

The Golden T-Bird Awards
In 1993, Stamper and Pete Mantas founded The Golden T-Bird Awards, to recognize the talent of musicians in the region. The awards were named after the T-Bird Cafe where the ceremony was first held. In 1995, the awards ceremony was moved to The Saint and was renamed "The Asbury Park Music Awards".

The Saint
In November 1994 Stamper and Adam Jon Weisberg opened The Saint, another music venue located on the corner of Main Street and Monroe Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The Saint has been described by music critics as one of the top five rock clubs in New Jersey. Like The Cellar Door in Washington, DC, CB's 313 Gallery (next to the now defunct CBGB), and The Living Room in New York City, it offers live, original music, and serves as a recording studio for live concerts. Pallagrosi, former owner of the Starland Ballroom, and co-founder of Concerts East says that "the sound in The Saint is now awesome for a small venue." Stamper has been credited with helping to keep the local music scene alive through The Saint when newspapers were reporting that the heyday of live music was over, and even The Stone Pony was struggling to stay open. The Saint has been described as the bedrock of the Asbury Park music scene, and an important venue for introducing emerging artists. The Saint showcases a variety of new and well-known, local, national, and international acts that are touring through the region. The Saint has featured many famous musicians over the years. It was a starting point for the careers of such bands as Airborne Toxic Event, Nicole Atkins, Ben Folds Five, Cake, Creed, Hoobastank, Incubus, Jewel, Kings of Leon, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (Sean Lennon & Kemp Muhl),  Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Tegan and Sara, and The The.

The Asbury Music Awards
In order to recognize the many talented musicians and others associated with the local and regional music scene, Stamper, and Pete Mantas founded the annual Asbury Park Music Awards (also called the Asbury Music Awards) in 1993.

The first award ceremony was held at the T-Bird Cafe, and the awards were originally titled "The Golden T-Bird Awards." When the awards ceremony was moved to The Saint in 1995, the honors were renamed "The Asbury Park Music Awards". Shortly thereafter the event's attendance exceeded The Saint's capacity, and the ceremony was then rotated among larger venues, including The Fastlane, The Tradewinds, and The Stone Pony. In recent years, the ceremony has been held at The Stone Pony. The awards ceremony's format is similar to that of the Grammy Awards. The presentation of the awards is interspersed with performances of live, original music and poetry.

Suckdog Performances
Stamper promoted the Kentucky leg of Lisa Suckdog's 1998 tour. At their first show, Stamper allegedly threw a dead chicken on stage. He later refused to pay the band for their final performance, citing a previous show where the band didn't perform. The band insisted that Stamper had been unable to get the sound system working.

The Wave Gathering
Stamper also co-founded The Wave Gathering Music Festival, an annual American music festival modeled after South by Southwest and Austin City Limits Music Festival that is held across the entire town of Asbury Park, NJ, spanning several days. During this time, cafes, restaurants, parks, shops, the boardwalk, nightclubs, and local vendors offer local and regional music, art, and food to the crowds.

The Wave Gathering includes approximately 16 stages on which approximately 150-160 local, regional, and national music acts play alternative, blues, folk, indie, electronic, rock, and other genres of music.

title: 1966 WCHA men's ice hockey tournament

text:
The 1966 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was the 7th conference playoff in league history. The tournament was played between March 3 and March 5, 1966. All games were played at home team campus sites. By being declared as co-champions, both Michigan State and Denver were invited to participate in the 1966 NCAA University Division Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.

Though not official designations, Michigan State is considered as the East Regional Champion† and Denver as the West Regional Champion‡.

Format
All eight teams in the WCHA were eligible for the tournament. In the first round the schools were matched up based upon regional location, having the schools closest to one another play a single game with the winners advancing to the second round. The two Colorado schools (Colorado College and Denver) met in one match, leaving North Dakota to play their closest geographic rival Minnesota. With the Gophers occupied Minnesota-Duluth's next closest opponent was Michigan Tech, leaving Michigan and Michigan State as the pair in the final First Round game. This format was to be used for the following season as well with each team in the first round matches serving as the home team once. Denver was the only higher seed to play a road game in the first round but was guaranteed to be the home team the following season. After the first round the two easternmost remaining teams met in the home venues of Michigan Tech (Dee Stadium) while the two westernmost schools met at Denver's home building (DU Arena). In the second round the first and fourth seeds and the second and third seeds were matched with the winners being declared as co-conference tournament champions.

title: Carl Malchin

text:
Carl Wilhelm Christian Malchin (14 May 1838, Kröpelin - 23 January 1923, Schwerin) was a German landscape painter and art conservator.

Life
His father was a member of the Mecklenburg legislature. He attended the Realschule in Rostock, then was apprenticed to a surveyor in Schwaan. He aspired to be a shipbuilder, but was not sufficiently strong and robust for that type of work, so he remained with the surveyor for three more years as his assistant. At this time, he made the acquaintance of two young painters from a nearby art colony who encouraged him to develop an interest in painting.

From 1860 to 1862, he attended the Polytechnikum in Munich, ostensibly to study geodesy and engineering but, instead, he frequented the local artists' studios where he got to know Adolf Heinrich Lier and began taking lessons from one of Lier's friends. Nevertheless, he finished his course at the Polytechnikum and, after a short training period in Rostock, took the engineering exam. He then worked in the land surveying office of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and painted in his spare time.

His work attracted the attention of the Court Painter, Theodor Schloepke, who obtained a scholarship for him from Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II. He began his formal studies in 1873 at the Weimar Saxon-Grand Ducal Art School under Theodor Hagen.

Despite the scholarship, he experienced continuing financial problems. His paintings did not sell very well. Many were bought by the Grand Duke and his court for a nominal sum. Finally, in 1879, he was offered the position of art conservator and restorer for the Ducal collection. He was given a generous contract that allowed him plenty of space and time to pursue his own work. This freedom was used to travel extensively. The area around Ahrenshoop was especially inspiring to him.

In 1890, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz III appointed him a professor. After 1903, he lived in the village of Ostorf near Lake Schwerin. He retired in 1915 and was presented with the Knight's Cross of the Order of the Griffon. A proposed retrospective of his work had to be cancelled due to the war and was not presented until 1923, after his death. Approximately 260 of his paintings are in the possession of the  Staatliches Museum Schwerin. Ninety-two were destroyed during World War II. A street in Schwerin has been named after him.

title: Ricardo Yrarrázaval Larraín

text:
Ricardo Yrarrázaval Larraín (born October 12, 1931) is a Chilean painter and ceramist. The central theme of his work is man and his status in society.

Biography
He is born in Santiago and his artistic vocation awoke at an early age. After enrolling on a ship bound for Egypt, traveled to Naples and Rome, where he entered the School of Fine Arts to study painting.

Later, the Italian capital left and went to France to finally settle in Vallauris, a small village on the Riviera, where Picasso had also resided. There he became acquainted with the techniques of pottery, an activity that was spent for several years and it has never completely abandoned.

In 1966 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship to work for a year in New York.

His pictorial production is low but intense. After some abstract experiences, in which he played with geometric shapes that were composing vertical frames, in the 1970s his work became surrealistic and began painting in a style called subjective realism and which would later evolve into the goal. The characters in his paintings are figures of flat volumes and distorted shapes that represent archetypes of modern society.

The many awards he has received include the second prize of the Biennale de Lima (1968) and first prize in painting contest I National Securities Placement Chile (1975).

title: Beryl Randle

text:
Beryl Randle (born 16 December 1928) is a former race walker and an athletics administrator. She raced for Birchfield Harriers.

She took up competitive walking in 1946, after coming last in a 100-metre sprint, and was coached by Doris Nelson Neal. To train, she would walk from her home in Walsall to her workplace in Digbeth, Birmingham, and back -  each day.

On 29 May 1954, she broke the world record for the one-mile walk, with a time of 7 minutes 49 seconds. On 19 June 1954, she shaved over ten seconds from her own record, at the White City Stadium, with a time of 7 minutes 38.4 seconds. In doing so, she became the Women's Amateur Athletic Association Champion. She was honoured for this achievement with a brooch depicting the stag logo of Birchfield Harriers in solid gold, commissioned by G.H. Alexander, then president of the club. She later said:

Randle is a six-time Midland mile track champion, four-time British mile track champion, and three-time Midland road-walking champion.

After winning £1,000 for coming in second in a 1960 John O'Groats–Land's End walk sponsored by Billy Butlin – she lost the lead to Wendy Lewis after twisting her ankle – she had to relinquish her amateur status, though it was later restored, and she resumed competing. During the 1980s, she coached Birchfield Harriers' girls' teams.

At the age of 71, she broke the over-70s age group world record for the 3000-metres walk.

She was Honorary General Secretary of the Race Walking Association from 1988 to 1991, and its president from 1996 to 1998. She was subsequently made an Honorary Life Member, and was given their lifetime achievement award in 2014.

In 2009, she was elected President of the Midland Counties Athletics Association.

title: List of tallest buildings in Camden

text:
Camden, New Jersey is located on the Delaware River in the Delaware Valley/Philadelphia metropolitan area in the US. At , a tower of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge is the tallest structure in the city. Camden City Hall, at , has been the tallest building in the city since 1931. Several buildings of the Victor Talking Machine Company (which became part of RCA Victor in 1929) dot the city's skyline, which also includes late 20th century residential high-rises.

Tallest buildings

Proposed

In May 2013 the New Jersey Economic Development Authority announced that it would seek developers for the site of the demolished Riverfront State Prison just north of the Central Waterfront and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Cooper Point. In September 2013 Waterfront Renaissance Associates announced that it proposed to a develop a 2.3-million-square-foot commercial complex on   called the Riverfront World Trade Center. The project would be built in four phases, the first of which would be a promenade along the Delaware River.The plan calls for two 22-story and two 18-story buildings.

In October 2013, Herschend Family Entertainment announced they would add an attraction adjacent to the Adventure Aquarium, a , 25-story observation tower ride with a moored balloon and gondola that would carry passengers above the site offering views of city, the Delaware River and the Philadelphia skyline to be built by Skyview Tower Systems. The  Skyview Tower, a combination gyro tower and moored balloon, in the city's entertainment district on the Camden Waterfront was expected to open in 2015. The structure is three rod towers joined at intervals by circular hoops Propelled by a winch,  lightweight carriage disguised within the balloon envelope ascends the tower. The gondola beneath the balloon acts as floating circular walkway for a maximum of 40 passengers.

In September 2015, Liberty Property Trust unveiled a proposal to build two towers, one  tall and another  as part a master plan on the waterfront designed by Robert A. M. Stern. Called Camden Towers it all include an 18-story building the waterfront. Construction began in 2017.

title: Surprise (apple)

text:
'Surprise' is a pink-fleshed apple that is the ancestor of many of the present-day pink/red-fleshed apples bred by American growers.

History
'Surprise' is a smallish, round apple with a dull pale green or whitish-yellow skin and very tart red-tinged flesh. It is believed to be a descendant of Malus niedzwetskyana, a deeply red-fleshed apple native to Siberia and the Caucasus. Whereas other descendants of M. niedzwetskyana tend to have darkish-red flesh (such as a series of apples and crabapples developed by plant breeder Niels Ebbesen Hansen), Surprise and the cultivars based on it tend to have a brighter pinkish or light reddish flesh. The red pigmentation of the flesh comes mainly from a class of flavonoids called anthocyanins.

Surprise began to circulate in Europe sometime before 1831, when it was reported growing in the London Horticultural Society Gardens. It was first brought to the United States by German immigrants to the Ohio Valley around 1840 and quickly intrigued plant breeders because of its unusually colored flesh. The horticulturist and landscape designer Andrew Jackson Downing and his brother Charles, a noted pomologist in his own right, had a tree of Surprise in their collection in Newburgh, New York. The Downings were not, in the end, very impressed with Surprise. In the 1890 edition of their book The Fruit and Fruit Trees of America, the Downings wrote it off as a "small, round, whitish yellow apple of little or no value, but admired by some for its singularity, the flesh being stained with red."

As a teenager in the 1870s, the horticulturist Liberty Hyde Bailey grafted Surprise onto a tree in his father's orchard in South Haven, Michigan, using scion wood that had come from Charles Downing. Years later, in his 1928 book The Garden Lover, he wrote:
I set those scions, and for many a year made pilgrimage to the tree and opened the green fruits to be surprised again and again at the pink flesh 'stained with red' as the original The Fruit and Fruit Trees of America has it.
As late as 1957, a single tree was said to be still standing on the site of the Bailey family orchard (which had since been replaced with a hospital).

In apple breeding

Although Surprise turned out to be not well suited to Midwestern and Eastern growing conditions, it did much better when moved to the West Coast, with its long growing season featuring hot days and cool nights. The northern California horticulturist Albert Etter had success with it as the cornerstone of a program to breed pink- and red-fleshed apple cultivars. By 1928, he was far enough along that he published a report in the Pacific Rural Press in which he described two open-pollinated descendants of Surprise that had pink or red flesh. One of these, Redflesh Winter Banana (so named for both its internal and its external appearance) is said to have been his personal favorite among a total of some 30 pink- and red-fleshed varieties that emerged from his breeding program. The second was a nameless variety that, from its description, might have been Pink Pearl, which became by far the best-known of this group and is still grown today. Although not all of Etter's Surprise descendants were successful, the best of them shared a pronounced aromatic quality that appears to be linked to the anthocyanin pigmentation that gives the flesh its distinctive pinkish and reddish tones. Their mixed ancestry meant that their size, skin color, eating qualities, and ripening time varied greatly, as did their flesh color, which ranged from pale pink through rose to purplish red, occasionally mottled or marbled with white.

In 1940, Etter set up a partnership with George Roeding Jr.'s California Nursery Company, one of the goals of which was to introduce some of Etter's Surprise-derived cultivars to the public. Eventually Roeding settled on test seedling #39, which apparently impressed him with its looks (translucent skin, medium size, and tapered shape), its tart-sweet flavor, and its late-summer ripening date. He secured U.S. plant patent 723 for it on Etter's behalf, christened it Pink Pearl, and featured it in his 1945 catalog.

In 1973, apple fancier Ram Fishman settled near Etter's old experimental orchard and became intrigued by the pink-fleshed apples that could still be found among the old trees on that site. Over the course of a decade, Fishman managed to locate examples of what he believes are about half of Etter's pink-fleshed Surprise descendants. They were given new names since the old names could not be firmly determined and are marketed under the 'Rosetta' series title (alongside other Surprise-based cultivars) through his Greenmantle Nursery. These Etter-Fishman cultivars include Pink Pearmain (probably the same as an apple known elsewhere as Pink Sparkle), Blush Rosette, Thornberry, Rubaiyat, Christmas Pink, Grenadine, and Pink Parfait.

Other likely descendants of Surprise have been found elsewhere, such as varieties known as Aerlie's Red Flesh (also known as Airlie Red Flesh and Hidden Rose) and Bill's Red Flesh (also known as Scarlet Surprise), both found in abandoned orchards in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.

Surprise continues to be used in apple-breeding programs, and there is particular interest in the potential health benefits of this lineage. The anthocyanins that give red coloration to the skin of red apples and to the flesh of Surprise and its descendants possess antioxidant qualities. One group of scientists has been working since 1989 on breeding red-fleshed apples from Surprise for the Japanese market because most Japanese consumers peel their apples and thus lose the anthocyanins in the skin.

title: Formal ball

text:
In topology, a formal ball is an extension of the notion of ball to allow unbounded and negative radius.  The concept of formal ball was introduced by Weihrauch and Schreiber in 1981 and the negative radius case (the generalized formal ball) by Tsuiki and Hattori in 2008.

Specifically, if  is a metric space and  the nonnegative real numbers, then an element of  is a formal ball.  Elements of  are known as generalized formal balls.

Formal balls possess a partial order  defined by  if , identical to that defined by set inclusion.

Generalized formal balls are interesting because this partial order works just as well for  as for , even though a generalized formal ball with negative radius does not correspond to a subset of .

Formal balls possess the Lawson topology and the Martin topology.

title: Waterfront Watch

text:
Waterfront Watch Inc is a Wellington organisation which aims to preserve the Wellington waterfront from excessive development. Throughout its history it has frequently engaged in legal action to stop what it sees as negative developments.

On the Waterfront Watch website, the organisation describes its purpose as:
 We are committed to preserving this resource for the people of Wellington and whilst we will support appropriate development that enhances public spaces and usage, we will question any excessive development that seeks to privatise and restrict public access, remove views and viewshafts, downgrades our heritage or introduces excess shading or wind issues.

Notable campaigns

Variation 17
In the late 1990s there was a proposal – termed Variation 17 – to redevelop Wellington's waterfront into a mixture of public and private spaces. The proposal drew fierce criticism from some quarters, and Waterfront Watch was formed to stop the proposal. The Wellington City Council received a record-breaking 2,500 public submissions, of which 94% opposed the variation proposal. As a result, the variation proposal was shelved, and the area now known as Waitangi Park remains as public land.

North Kumutoto development
In November 2013, Wellington Waterfront Ltd detailed plans for an office building on the Kumutoto wharf which is over the 22 metre height limit for the area. The proposal came after plans in 2012 for a 6-story office block were blocked by the Environment Court. Waterfront Watch President Pauline Swann said she was appalled that the proposal was going against the Court's recommendation: "We're very concerned. I've had a word to a few councillors about it."

title: Platelet-rich fibrin

text:
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is a derivative of PRP where autologous platelets and leukocytes are present in a complex fibrin matrix to accelerate the healing of soft and hard tissue and is used as a tissue-engineering scaffold for endodontics. PRF falls under FDA Product Code KST, labeling it as a blood draw/Hematology product classifying it as 510(k) exempt.

To obtain PRF, required quantity of blood is drawn quickly into test tubes without an anticoagulant and centrifuged immediately. Blood can be centrifuged using a tabletop centrifuge from 3-8 minutes for 1300 revolutions per minute. The resultant product consists of the following three layers; topmost layer consisting of platelet poor plasma, PRF clot in the middle, and red blood cells (RBC) at the bottom. PRF is available as a fibrin clot. PRF clot can be removed from the test tube using a sterile tweezer-like instrument. After lifting, the RBC layer attached to the PRF clot can be carefully removed using a sterilized scissor.

Platelet activation in response to tissue damage occurs during the process of making PRF release several biologically active proteins including; platelet alpha granules, platelet‑derived growth factor (PGDF), transforming growth factors‑β (TGF‑β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor. Actually, the platelets and leukocyte cytokines play important parts in role of this biomaterial, but the fibrin matrix supporting them is the most helpful in constituting the determining elements responsible for real therapeutic potential of PRF. Cytokines are immediately used and destroyed in a healing wound. The harmony between cytokines and their supporting fibrin matrix has much more importance than any other platelet derivatives.

Dentistry

Ridge preservation
Ridge preservation (Colloquially Socket preservation), a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction to preserve the dental alveolus (containing the tooth socket) in the alveolar bone. A platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane containing bone growth enhancing elements can be stitched over the wound or a graft material or scaffold is placed in the socket of an extracted tooth at the time of extraction. The socket is then directly closed with stitches or covered with a non-resorbable or resorbable membrane and sutured.

Sinus lift
A platelet-rich fibrin can be used if a sinus lift is required for a dental implant.

Periodontal regeneration
Reproduction or reconstitution of a lost or injured part to restore the architecture and function of the periodontium becomes the integral part of comprehensive periodontal therapy. Conventional open flap debridement falls short of regenerating tissues destroyed by the disease. Platelet derived growth factor along with bone morphogenetic proteins are among the most researched growth factors in periodontal regeneration. Platelet rich fibrin showed significant improvement in clinical periodontal parameter as well as in radiograph when compared with open flap debridement alone in a meta analysis. Several bone graft materials have been used in the treatment of infrabony defects. Demineralized freeze dried bone allograft (DFDBA) has been histologically proven to be the material of choice for regeneration. Platelet-rich fibrin has shown significant results comparable to DFDBA for periodontal regeneration. One of the most common aesthetic problem encountered in the field of periodontology is gingival recession, which is, perceived by the patients as increase in length of teeth. Though connective tissue graft is a gold standard procedure, PRF can be used as an alternative procedure by keeping patient's comfort in mind.

Guided bone and tissue regeneration
PRF is used in guided bone and tissue regeneration.

Regenerative endodontics
PRF enhances alveolar bone augmentation and  necrotic dental pulp and open tooth apex can be revitalized in regenerative endodontics with platelet-rich fibrin.

title: Akita Ondo

text:
is a folk song of Akita prefecture, Japan. It is said that it was created when Kubota domain in Akita prefecture was inspected by Yoshitaka Satake in 1663. It was originally known simply as the "Ondo" ("Marching Song"), but it is said that around the beginning of the Meiji era it became known as the "Akita Ondo".

The unique characteristic of the Akita Ondo is its litany of humorous lyrics, accompanied by instruments like the shamisen, flute, and bell. Besides the initial cry "yātonā" (or "yātosei"), few musical intervals are used. The verses are simply laid out upon a 7-7-9 rhythm, in style similar to modern rap music.

title: Arthur du Boulay

text:
Major Arthur Houssemayne du Boulay    (18 June 1880 – 25 October 1918) was a British military officer and amateur cricketer. Born in Kent, he served in the Royal Engineers from 1897 and saw active service in the Second Boer War and First World War. He played first-class cricket for Kent County Cricket Club and Gloucestershire County Cricket Club and died in the 1918 flu pandemic whilst on active service in October 1918.

Early life
Du Boulay was the oldest child of Colonel Woodforde Houssemayne du Boulay and his wife Rose (née Hawkins). His father served in the Royal Engineers and du Boulay was born in 1880 at New Brompton in Chatham, Kent, close to the regimental headquarters. The family home was The Warren in Charlton, then in Kent. Du Boulay was educated at Cheltenham College where he was in the school cricket XI for three years and was captain in 1897, his final year at school, scoring over 300 runs and taking 33 wickets. He played for Kent's Second XI during the year and Wisden described him as a "fine batsman" and predicted that he may go on to play county cricket. He also played rugby union at school.

Military career
After leaving school, du Boulay opted for a military career and entered the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, the training academy for officers in the Royal Engineers, in January 1898. He shared the athletic award for the academy in 1898, and was awarded the Sword of Honour for being the best cadet on his course. He continued to play cricket at the academy, leading the batting and bowling averages in 1899. After graduation he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Engineers on 22 November 1899.

Following service at the Royal School of Military Engineering (SME) at Chatham and in Ireland, du Boulay served in South Africa towards the end of the Second Boer War (1899–1902). He remained in South Africa until 1904 and was promoted to lieutenant whilst in the country, on 22 November 1902. Returning to Britain, du Boulay served as an instructor at the SME until 1908. He then served as adjutant in the 1st London Divisional Engineers, a Territorial Force division.

When war was declared in 1914 the division was mobilised and du Boulay promoted to captain with the role of assistant quartermaster general (AQMG) to the division which spent the remainder of 1914 and the first half of 1915 training. In June 1915 he transferred to the same role in the 33rd Division and in November 1915 arrived on the Western Front in France. The division saw action in the Battle of the Somme and du Boulay was mentioned in dispatches three times whilst with the 33rd, during which he was promoted to major. In June 1917 he was transferred to V Corps as assistant adjutant and quartermaster general and promoted to brevet lieutenant-colonel. He served at corps level for the remainder of 1917 and into 1918 and was mentioned in dispatches twice more. In June 1918 he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in the 1918 Birthday Honours.

In June 1918 du Boulay was transferred to Army HQ level as AQMG on the Staff of the Third Army. In October 1918 he fell ill in the 1918 flu pandemic epidemic and died on 25 October 1918. He was buried in the Fillièvres British Cemetery south-west of Arras. He was mentioned in dispatches once more after his death and was posthumously awarded the Order of Leopold II with Palm, and the Croix de Guerre. He was also appointed as an Officer of the Order of Agricultural Merit.

Cricket career

After playing cricket in school and whilst at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, du Boulay played five first-class cricket matches for Kent County Cricket Club whilst serving with the Royal Engineers in 1899. He had some success, scoring 250 runs in eight innings, but was restricted in how frequently he could play cricket by his military career. He played in matches for the Royal Engineers Cricket Club between 1906 and 1912, including in a number of matches against the Royal Artillery. He made a number of high scores for the Engineers, including making 204, 153 and 175 during one week and scoring 402 not out in 1907 against the Royal Navy and Royal Marines at Chatham. He played three times for the Army cricket team against the Royal Navy as well as for a variety of other Army sides.

Du Boulay played three more first-class matches for Gloucestershire in August 1908. He was a member of I Zingari and played occasionally for MCC sides; his final first-class appearance was for MCC against Nottinghamshire at Lord's in 1910. He scored a total of 303 first-class runs and took three wickets in his nine first-class matches.

Family
Du Boulay married Blanche Hornung in 1909. They had three children. Their daughter Suzanne married Lord Douglas Gordon (brother of the 12th Marquess of Huntly) in 1940. Blanche remarried Lieutenant-General Sir Hugh Elles in 1939. Du Boulay's brother Hubert was killed in action in 1916 as was his brother-in-law John Hornung. Du Boulay and Hornung are memorialised in a stained glass window at St George's Church, West Grinsteadin West Sussex.

Two of du Boulay's nephews also played cricket; Roger du Boulay was captain of the First XI at Repton School and Hubert Webb played for Oxford University and Hampshire after World War II.

Ian Jane of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 stars and wrote that the film fails to live up to its potential as a fun B film.  David Johnson of DVD Verdict wrote, "While Blood of Redemption isn't embarrassingly terrible, it leaves much to be desired as a crime thriller, burdened by clunky storytelling, indifferent acting, and unsatisfactory plot twists. As an action film, it's even more wanting."

title: Tomé Domínguez de Mendoza

text:
Tomé Domínguez III de Mendoza   (1623 - After 1692) was a Spanish soldier (native of modern Mexico) who served as acting Governor of New Mexico in 1664.

Biography
Tomé Domínguez III de Mendoza was baptized on February 19, 1623, in Mexico City. His father, who had the same name, was a Spanish officer and former wine merchant who lived in Mexico City for a while and emigrated to New Mexico with his wife and at least 7 children in the mid-1630s. Tomé (III) was brother of the soldier Juan Dominguez de Mendoza.

Mendoza joined the Spanish Army in his youth. In the first half of 1660, he lived below Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico. Since about 1656 Mendoza held the charges of alcalde mayor of the region and Lieutenant General of the Rio Abajo zone. He was replaced in both charges by Juan Dominguez, his brother, in 1659.  Later, Tomé III got the rank of sergeant of the Spanish army.

In 1662 Tomé III was appointed for several key positions at the New Mexico government. So he held the charges of Lieutenant General, perpetual regidor and treasurer of the Santa Cruzada.

Later, a faction led by him accused and "filed grave charges" against the governor of the province (at this time New Mexico was a province) Juan Durán de Miranda, which caused a brief imprisonment and the seizure of all his goods.

Tomé Domínguez III de Mendoza was appointed Acting Governor of Santa Fe de Nuevo México in 1664. However, his government only lasted until Durán de Miranda (who was released from prison when he presented his arguments about the charges issued against him in Mexico City) recovered his government in the province a year later.

In 1676, Tomé III was appointed Lieutenant Governor of the province by Juan Francisco Treviño. In June of that year, Tome III was ordered to form an troop against the Apaches who were attacking  Socorro and Senecú. In 1677 and 1680, he joined the cabildo of Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico. For the last decade, Tomé III continued to participate in political and military functions in the province.

In August 1680, Tomé III and his family moved to El Paso del Norte (Ciudad Juarez, in modern Mexico), along with other residents of Rio Abajo, New Mexico. There, he held several positions. One of the positions he occupied was Maeses de Campo "with full complement of arms."

In 1681, Tomé Domínguez III de Mendoza, at sixty-one years old, died from gout and a stomach disease.

Personal life
Mendoza married twice: his first marriage was to Catalina López Mederos, with whom he had 6 children: Tome III, Antonio, Juana, Francisco  (who died in the war against the Puebloans), Juan and Diego (both were injured in the same war) Domínguez de Mendoza. The second was with Ana Velásquez, with whom he had two additional children: José and Juana Domínguez.

About 1659, Governor Bernardo López de Mendizábal gave Mendoza an encomienda to the south of Isleta. When the encomienda passed into his hands, so too did the Native American population who resided there. Mendoza took advantage of this to Christianize them and make them work for him as a way of "partial compensation" for the debts he owed to the Spanish Crown for several services that the crown provided to him (i.e. protection).

In Isleta, the Dominguez family settled to the west of El Cerro de Tomé, near Tome Hill (next to Rio Grande). However, when the Pueblo Revolt broke out in 1680, thirty-eight members of the Dominguez family were attacked and killed by the Pueblo Native Americans. In addition to his four sons who fought in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 (among them Tome III), his other two sons, Juan and Diego, were attacked by poisoned arrows. Other family members, such as grandchildren, sons-in-law, brothers and nephews may have also been killed in the war.

For the most part, those who survived were forced to leave the place, emigrating south to El Paso del Norte (modern Ciudad Juarez, North of modern Mexico). So, in 1682, Don Pedro de Tomé y Chaves (brother of the first wife of Mendoza, Catalina López Mederos) got permission to migrate to modern-day Mexico with his family and the family of Mendoza.  In 1683, Tomé lived in Los Sauces, north of Chihuahua, Mexico. Thanks to the Peace Treaty between the Puebloans and the Spanish, Mendoza emigrated to Spain and never returned to New Mexico.

Legacy
The village of Tomé was built in the place where he resided, after being named as Tomé Domínguez de Mendoza.

title: Mike Brown (producer)

text:
Mike Brown (born October 20, 1980) is an American Grammy-nominated producer, engineer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and founder of Temperamental Recordings.

Brown, along with childhood friend, Zac DeCamp, formed the group Geneseo, whose record Automatic Music Can Be Fun was Grammy-nominated in 2014 for Best Recording Package. His debut record, American Hotel, was self-recorded in all 50 American states and features 75 guest musicians spanning the last 60 years of recorded music. In 2009 Brown bought and renovated an 1828 country church into a recording studio named Temperamental Recordings and has produced and/or recorded music with artists including Augustines, Lowlight, Thieving Irons, Son of the Sun, David Knopfler, Tom VandenAvond, Chase Pagan, Caitlin Cary, and Hinkley. He is currently working on a new record featuring members of Sparklehorse, The National, Band of Horses, Larry and His Flask, Eels and others. Brown is also a musical instrument appraiser recognized on the History Channel show American Pickers.

Selected discography

Temperamental Recordings

Temperamental Recordings has been a mobile studio, having a total of 5 spaces since 2002. It is currently housed in a former Methodist church in Geneseo that was built in 1828. The space has an impressive number of instruments that Brown collected from all 50 states, and houses recording equipment that spans the entire history of recording. The instruments that are in the studio all come with a story attached, they are gifts from past teachers, friends, and people that have recorded with Brown. In 2011 the studio was featured on American Pickers on the History Channel.

Geneseo

Geneseo is a band composed of Mike Brown and his childhood friend Zac Decamp. Their album Automatic Music Can Be Fun was nominated for Best Recording Package at the 2014 Grammy Awards. The album was recorded while Decamp was living in Montreal and Brown was traveling recording American Hotel. While they were both home the two recorded the album. The recording took roughly a month and was completed at Brown's studio while Decamp was away in Canada.
The album caught the attention of Brian Grunert, who owns White Bicycle Design Firm and has done the artwork for several musicians including Ani DiFranco. Grunert (6 time Grammy Nominee), who was working on the design for American Hotel at the time, was given half finished tracks for Automatic Music Can Be Fun, which at the time was not meant to be released. Grunert and his design partner Annie Stoll found a hidden theme and poem in the lyrics for the album, which led to the inspiration for the scratch off packaging. The packaging was the first of its kind, hiding the lyrics behind silver scratch off material only leaving a series of words exposed. Those words make up a poem which led to a hidden track which is downloadable online. The album was released on September 24, 2013, with only 1,000 copies pressed.

American Hotel

The inception for Brown's premiere solo record, American Hotel, was in September 2002 while he was in Richmond, Virginia, recording tracks at Sound of Music Recording Studios. While recording with producer David Lowery, Brown jokingly brainstormed a list of 150 possible guests to appear on the record. After heading back to his residence in Boston, Brown decided to make the wish list a reality and spent the next 8 years on the road recording various tracks. The finished product is a 22 track album recorded all 50 American states with 75 contributing artists. The record was a "sleeper record," says Brown, as it was only released for online download and never released in physical form.

The film opened to positive reviews from critics in August 2014. The movie is loosely based on the 2003 Japanese thriller Game.

Plot
Vikram (Naveen Chandra) is a young project manager at an architecture firm in Chennai. Though he leads an honest life, he maintains that it is not wrong to do something illegal for money as long as you don't get caught. One day, he goes to his firm's biggest client, Chandrasekar (Aadukalam Naren) to present an ambitious theme park project plan that he had been preparing for months. It is then when Vikram and his colleague see Chandrasekar's rebellious daughter enter the office to demand for money, embarrassing him in front of everyone. Having lost his mood, Chandrasekar coldly rejects Vikram's plan. Vikram gets drunk and then goes to Chandrasekar's beach house to vandalize it. Instead, he sees Chandrasekar's daughter running away. Vikram follows her to a nearby hotel and confronts her about her father's behaviour. She introduces herself as Shruti (Salony Luthra) and reveals that she dislikes her father just as much as Vikram does because he is a materialistic corporate man. Shruti follows Vikram home, where she proposes that he pretend to abduct her in order to extort ransom money from Chandrasekar. Vikram initially refuses. However, he learns from his superior at work the next day that Chandrasekar had a change of heart and has approved his theme park plan in condition that the firm has a more experienced project manager head the project. Vikram becomes ever more furious when his archenemy at the firm is chosen to lead the project and finally agrees to Shruti's plan. Together, Vikram and Shruti easily extort all the black money that Chandrasekar has been hiding away from the income tax department. He then sends Shruti back home safely while promising to keep her share of the money for her while she prepares her passport and visa to run away to Australia.

The next day, Vikram learns from the news that a young girl's dead body resembling Chandrasekar's daughter has been found washed up at the beach. As Vikram panics, Chandrasekar and Shruti walk into his apartment. Chandrasekar then reveals that the rebellious daughter Vikram saw the other day at his office was actually Shruti's twin, Sanjana (Salony Luthra). Shruti accidentally killed Sanjana while trying to stop the latter from taking her drugs. That was when she ran away from home and ended up with Vikram. Her father then calls her up and forces her to help him frame Vikram instead. This was why Chandrasekar approved Vikram's plan out of the blue and then had another project manager hired to further provoke him to have revenge. Chandrasekar then takes back his ransom money in return for not having Vikram arrested by the police for Sanjana's so-called kidnapping and murder.

Furious that he has been played, Vikram decides to really kidnap Shruti for the money. He sees her leaving her father's beach house and takes her away forcefully. He has Chandrasekar bring his money to a warehouse in exchange for Shruti. At the warehouse, Chandrasekar brings a gang along for protection and Vikram has to fight them off. However, it is revealed that Shruti is actually Sanjana all along, and it was Shruti who was killed during their struggle. Knowing that their father would not support her, she pretended to be Shruti all along and had the real Shruti's body look like her instead. Seeing that her father never loved her and was instead happy she had died, she kills him in cold blood and splits the ransom money with Vikram. Sanjana then continues pretending to be Shruti and explains to the police that it was her own father who kidnapped and killed his drug addict daughter with the help of the gang to save his reputation. The gang then goes into hiding for a crime they did not commit. Meanwhile, Sanjana takes over Chandrasekar's company and hires Vikram as the project leader.

title: City with county rights

text:
A city with county rights (or urban county, Hungarian: megyei jogú város, MJV) is a level of administrative subdivision in Hungary. Since 1994 all county seats are automatically awarded this status, and between  2012–2022 this was the only way a city could earn county rights. All cities earned this status before 2012 have retained their status and there is no way to revoke the title by the law. From 2006 until 2022, there were 23 cities with county rights, and 25 since 1 May 2022. Before 1950, cities with former "municipal rights" (törvényhatósági jogú város) had a similar status as the present urban counties.

Budapest is not considered an urban county and has a special capital city status among the other Hungarian cities.

Every city with county rights is allowed to be subdivided into districts. The representative body is the General Assembly (közgyűlés) which elects with the County Assembly a council that takes care of different tasks related to the county. Cities with county rights performs the tasks and powers of the county as its own authority but must provide some public services to the whole or a large area of the county (eg. education, health services, cultural services). Assemblies of the county and the urban county cooperate via a coordination committee to prepare and coordinate common tasks.

History
Between 1954 and 1971, the four largest regional cities received the megyei jogú város title. These were Debrecen, Miskolc, Pécs and Szeged. Then, from 1971 to 1989, the four previous cities and Győr were granted a new status known as "county city" (megyei város). This status was also extended to three other cities in 1989: Kecskemét, Nyíregyháza and Székesfehérvár (county seats and over 100,000 residents). After the end of Communism, this status was abolished and replaced by the urban counties. In 1990 the earlier eight megyei város and twelve additional cities became megyei jogú város which reached 50 thousand residents as limited by law. In 1994 all county seat earned the title by law modification (Salgótarján and Szekszárd became urban counties). In 2006 Érd also earned the title after demanded since residents exceeded 50 thousand by the 2000s. Though some of the cities which are not county seats meanwhile decreased under the limit, they still retained their status (Dunaújváros, Hódmezővásárhely, Nagykanizsa). Since 2012 it is declared by law that earlier earned status could not be lost, as well that cities need to become county seats before earning urban city title. In 2022 the law was amended that National Assembly can grant the status to any city annexed to the law as a list, and the same time named Baja and Esztergom in the annex.

title: Gutsbezirk Reinhardswald

text:
The Gutsbezirk Reinhardswald is an unincorporated area in the Kassel district in the state of Hesse in Germany. It encompasses an area of  and is thus the second largest village in Hesse by area after the city of Frankfurt. The Gutsbezirk Reinhardswald consists of nearly the whole area of the Reinhardswald. It is administered by the leader of the local forest authority, seated in nearby Reinhardshagen, who is instated by the district and whose duties include taking in taxes, garbage disposal and maintaining the civil registry.

Curiosities
Although the Gutsbezirk Reinhardswald is officially uninhabited, two people inhabit and operate the Tillyschanze restaurant, next to the observation tower of the same name above the city of Hann. Münden, located in Lower Saxony. The border between the states of Hesse and Lower Saxony runs between the restaurant and the observation tower. Until 2015, the territory had no postal code as it was forgotten about when the postal codes were assigned in 1993, as such no mail was delivered to the inhabitants. The official address, as given by the authorities, was Tillyschanze 1, 00000 Reinhardswald. In December 2015 the Tillyschanze received an address (Bierweg 1, 34346 Hann. Münden, despite not belonging to the community of Münden) and can now receive mail.

Connection to the electricity and water network is provided by the city of Hann. Münden, who also built a road to the restaurant. The inhabitants had to privately contract a company from Lower Saxony to take care of garbage disposal. The two inhabitants have to vote in the nearby electoral district of Reinhardshagen, ten kilometers away from the restaurant.

title: David B. Swartout

text:
David Swartout (born June 12, 1948) is an American golf instructor and coach, and former educator/administrator of Jackson Lumen Christi High School in Jackson, Michigan. In 2013, he became one of the winningest high school coaches in history. He was given the 2013 National Golf Coach of the Year award by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association, having been previously nominated in 1986 and 1992 for the award.

Early life and family history
He was born in Petoskey, Michigan, raised in Jackson, Michigan, and is a 7th generation Michigander. His paternal many time great grandfather buried in Jackson County, Michigan, Thomas Swartout, served as Military guard in the New York Company of Rangers for the Continental Congress in 1776, during the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. His ancestors arrived in the colonies in 1652 and include early American landowners, advocates for democratic rights, and close allies of many Founding Fathers; Tomys Swartwout, Roeloff Swartwout, Thomas Maas Samuel Swartwout and Jacobus Swartwout.

Coaching career
Swartout began teaching at Jackson Lumen Christi High School two years after it opened, in 1970, and started his golf coaching career in 1972. Since he began coaching, his teams have won 15 boys' state golf championships and two girls' state golf championships, and six of his teams have been state championship runner-up. His teams have qualified for the State Championships in 41 of the 50 seasons he has coached. He has been inducted into the Jackson, Michigan Golf Hall of Fame, Michigan Golf Coaches Association Hall of Fame, Michigan Golf Hall of Fame, and Jackson Lumen Christi High School Hall of Fame. He was the MIGCA Coach of the Year in 1978, 1983, 1984, 1990, and 1993.  He was National High School Athletic Coaches Association national finalist in 1993 and National Golf Coach of the Year in 2013. His dual meet record winning percentage is 90% (354-38) with 13 undefeated seasons.

2014 congressional election
On June 24, 2013, Swartout announced his candidacy to run for the United States Congress, as an Independent in Michigan's 7th congressional district. He stated, "I want to make Congress work for residents of my hometown and for the entire nation. I want to bring back the vision of our Founding Fathers; to prove that compromise and good governance are actually possible in Washington D.C., your elected representatives should work for you - not special interests, not big money and not high-powered elites. To make sure I can do that - to be free of the chains that bind Congress - I am running as an Independent." Swartout was the first ever Independent candidate to be certified by the Michigan Election Commission to appear on the 7th Congressional District general election ballot.

Swartout v. Johnson
On July 11, 2014 Swartout filed a complaint in the United States Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against Ruth Johnson in her official capacity as Secretary of State of Michigan. He challenged a provision of Michigan Election Law which requires that candidates for Congressional office who are Independents have the designation "NPA" or "no party affiliation" after their name on the general election ballots, creating ambiguity of their status. Swartout challenged that the inability to have "Independent" by his name, similar to the majority of American states, violated his First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. He cited Rosen v. Brown and Jenness v. Fortson as both binding and persuasive authority regarding similar ballot access cases.

On August 22, 2014 Senior Federal District Court Judge Bernard Friedman denied the Michigan Attorney General's office request for dismissal. Judge Friedman denied the motion on the grounds that "plaintiff has submitted a viable claim".

A hearing was set for September 24, 2014 at the federal courthouse in Detroit to hear arguments on issuance of a temporary restraining order to require the State of Michigan to reprint general election ballots. Judge Friedman turned down the requested order on the grounds that the motion was barred by laches, to not disrupt the orderly election process; he did not rule on the merits of the case. Judge Friedman further stated that "there seemed to be an issue here" and that maybe this was an issue "that state lawmakers should take up" to resolve.

On October 1, 2014, Swartout and the Michigan Attorney General's office both agreed to stipulate to a voluntary dismissal of the complaint, to allow the matter to be taken up at a later date by the Michigan State Legislature.

title: The Throne (film)

text:
The Throne () is a 2015 South Korean historical drama film directed by Lee Joon-ik, starring Song Kang-ho and Yoo Ah-in. Set during the reign of King Yeongjo, the film is about the life of Crown Prince Sado, the heir to the throne who was deemed unfit to rule and, at age 27, was condemned to death by his own father by being locked in a rice chest for eight days.

The Throne won three awards at the 35th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards, including Best Film. It was also selected as the South Korean entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

Plot
The film opens with the crown prince, Sado, carrying out a plot to kill his father, the king.  However, the assassination - for untold reasons - does not take place.

The next day, Sado's mother goes to the king to encourage him not to punish Sado's son when he punishes Sado.  The king summons Sado and tells him to kill himself.  Fearing for their own lives, Sado's supporters rush in and save him from suicide.  Instead the king orders Sado into a large rice box, which he then nails shut since no one else will do it for him.

The movie proceeds to flip back and forth chronologically between the rice box in the courtyard and the history of how it got there.

The king is presented as a doting father very concerned with the educational attainments of his young son.  Sado is presented as winsome and diplomatic even at a very early age.  However, he does not take well to the rote memorization he is expected to perform.  He fails to properly acquire a passage written by his father, and we find him preferring to socialize and paint.  When asked how often he likes to study, all are shocked with his very frank answer of "once or twice a year."  The king perceives his son is being rebellious.

Meanwhile, three days in the box Sado begins to hallucinate.  He imagines he is covered by centipedes and breaks out of the box, washing himself in the pond.  He is returned to the box, which is then fortified.

In another flashback, the king describes familial relations among royalty being different from commoners.  "In the palace, parents think of their children as enemies."  Sado's father goes on to tell how his father had his wife poisoned, and he himself has been accused of killing his own brother to secure the throne.  Here and at other places during the movie he claims he does not want to be the king.

The king proposes his son be made a substitute king, a method by which the crown prince may exercise the office of king under the ongoing tutelage of the elderly king.  In his new role, Sado is assertive and just, but some factions that have enjoyed special privilege under the corrupt elder king take issue with his rulings.  The elder king jumps to the conclusion that his son is capitalizing on schisms within the kingdom to weaken the elder king's powers.  He directs his son to make fewer decisions and allow the nobles to lead.  However, when his son defers to them, the king is alarmed at the decisions of his nobles and countermands Sado's rulings.  Then Sado begins to consult his father to make wiser decisions, but the old man ridicules his son for being unable to govern independently.  Nothing Sado does is pleasing to the king, who proceeds to humiliate his son.  However, the Royal Queen Dowager is overjoyed at Sado's wisdom and acts as his protector.

When the king refuses to call for celebrations for the queen's 60th birthday, the tension comes to a head.  He storms into her chambers and insists that she support him or approve his stepping down.  Much to his shock, she approves, thereby making Sado king.

Curiously, Sado refuses to ascend the throne.  After the elderly king's departure, Sado remains kneeling in the courtyard where his subjects fear he will die of exposure.  The queen is forced to revoke her approval, and in humiliation, she stops eating, bringing her life to an end.  At her funeral, the elder king blames Sado for her death.  Sado snaps.

Sado becomes a religious zealot and an alcoholic.  He digs an underground grave complex for himself and refuses to pay his respects to the new queen.  In a rage, he kills one of the palace eunuchs.  He throws a celebration for his mother for her 60th birthday at which his actions imply madness.  Meanwhile, the elder king takes on Sado's son as his new protege, but has his own son framed for plotting a conspiracy against the crown.

The scene from the beginning is replayed with a few additions, the important one being why he did not kill his father.  At the critical moment, he found his son with his grandfather and overheard his son tell his grandfather that Sado had a good heart.  Sado did not go through with the assassination.

Sado dies on the seventh day of his imprisonment and is buried on the eighth, but his father has all memory of him erased.  He directs his grandson never to even speak his name.  However, after the death of the elder king, Sado's son goes out of his way to honour his father, thereby vindicating Sado.
