title: Gershon Benjamin

text:
Gershon Benjamin (January 6, 1899 – September 2, 1985) was an American modern painter. Born in Piatra Neamț, Romania, he immigrated with his family to Montreal at the age of two, to escape the persecution of  Jews throughout Eastern Europe at the time. As a youth he was trained by Edmond Dyonnet and  then mentored by landscape painter Arthur-Dominique Rozaire, whom he intended to follow to Los Angeles but his parents forbid it.

In 1923, Benjamin moved to New York City and married actress Hilda Zelda Cohen. He worked nights in the art department of The Sun and enrolled at Art Students League of New York, Cooper Union, and The Educational Alliance, where he began to etch and continued to draw and paint. His influences were Henri Matisse, Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Édouard Vuillard, and Rembrandt. He was also inspired by Japanese prints, folk art, and primitive painting. He formed a friendship with Milton Avery soon after Avery arrived in New York in 1925 and their families became close. Benjamin was part of a circle of artists which included Avery, Wallace Putnam, Mark Rothko, and Adolph Gottlieb. They often exhibited together in the 1930s, curated by Robert Ulrich Godsoe.

Benjamin’s emotive and consistent balance between realism and abstraction throughout his career, often saw him go unrecognized and left on the outside of whatever was in vogue at the time. In the 1940s, his generic subject matter was overlooked by the social realists, even though his images of common people and public places was reminiscent of the Ashcan School. In the 1950s, the completely non-representational forms of abstract expressionism had no place for Benjamin’s figural aspects, however abstract they may have been. And from the 1960s onward, pop-art, minimalism, and conceptual art had little in common with his work.

The Benjamins moved to Free Acres, New Jersey in the 1930s, drawn by the communal aspects and large concentration of visual artists, writers, and actors. Benjamin lost his job when The Sun closed in 1950, and then  concentrated on painting. Gershon and Zelda became very involved in the community; he taught summer art courses and later instructed inmates in a drug rehabilitation program at Caldwell Penitentiary, while she directed plays at the community theater. Benjamin died in Free Acres at the age of 86, shortly after completing two retrospectives at Drew University and New Jersey Institute of Technology, his first solo exhibitions in 25 years.

title: Francis Coulson

text:
Francis Coulson  (6 June 1919 – 20 February 1998) was an influential British chef and co-owner of the Sharrow Bay Hotel.  His obituary in The Independent described him as a deeply sensitive cook whose ‘airy, light sticky toffee pudding could stand as an epitaph to him in itself’. He likened pastry-making to piano- playing: "It is an art that comes as much from the heart as the hands," he said.  As an accomplished hotelier, with his partner Brian Sack he set the bar for a new style of country house hotel.

Early life
Coulson was born into a Quaker family, the son of a draper in Bedford. He was educated at Bedford Modern School.  During the Second World War Coulson was a conscientious objector and produced 300 meals a day for Toc H.

Career

In 1948, Coulson bought Sharrow Bay which he developed with his partner Brian Sack.  It was there in the 1970s that Coulson developed sticky toffee pudding and the hotel later became the Egon Ronay Guide Hotel of the Year in 1974. In 1976, Coulson was one of the 'five best Chefs of Britain' to be invited by Egon Ronay to prepare lunch at Maxim's in Paris.

The Sharrow Bay Country House was later awarded the Restaurant of the Year title in 1980 and one Michelin Star in 2008.

In her book, Food Culture in Great Britain, Laura Mason wrote, "Influential figures included Francis Coulson, at Sharrow Bay in the Lake District (said to be Britain's first country house hotel) and George Perry-Smith at the Hole in the Wall Restaurant in Bath.  They and a few contemporaries influenced a generation of restaurateurs with their personal styles, which depended on a deep interest in eating (as opposed to learning the business aspect via a college course)."

Coulson's obituary in The Independent described him as a deeply sensitive cook whose ‘airy, light sticky toffee pudding could stand as an epitaph to him in itself’. He likened pastry-making to piano- playing: "It is an art that comes as much from the heart as the hands," he said.  As an accomplished hotelier, with his partner Brian Sack he set the bar for a new style of country house hotel.

Honours
Coulson was awarded an MBE in 1994.

Family life
Coulson lived with Brian Sack, his partner in Sharrow Bay. He died in Ullswater on 20 February 1998.  There is a photographic portrait of Coulson at the National Portrait Gallery, London.

title: Mixed-NOCs at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics

text:
Teams made up of athletes representing different National Olympic Committees (NOCs), called mixed-NOCs teams, participated in the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics. These teams participated in either events composed entirely of mixed-NOCs teams, or in events which saw the participation of mixed-NOCs teams and non-mixed-NOCs teams. When a mixed-NOCs team won a medal, the Olympic flag was raised rather than a national flag; if a mixed-NOCs team won gold, the Olympic anthem would be played instead of national anthems. A total of 17 events with Mixed NOCs were held.

Background
The concept of mixed-NOCs was introduced in the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, in which athletes from different nations would compete in the same team, often representing their continent. This is in contrast to the Mixed team (IOC code: ZZX) found at early senior Olympic Games.

Medal summary
The following medal summary lists all nations whose athletes won a medal while competing for a mixed-NOCs team. If there is more than one athlete from the same nation on a medal-winning team, only one medal of that colour is credited. The summary shows how many events at which a nation had an athlete in a medal-winning mixed-NOCs team.

Archery

Athletes were paired off based on their performance during the ranking round of their respective individual events. For example, the 1st ranked boy was paired with the 32nd ranked girl and the 2nd ranked boy was paired with the 31st ranked girl and so on.

Athletics

Badminton

Each doubles pair was determine through a draw where an athlete of one gender seeded 1-16 was paired with another athlete seeded 17-32 of the opposite gender.

Cycling

NOCs who qualified only two men or women lots were drawn to form combined teams.

Diving

Equestrian

Athletes were grouped based on their continental origins. For continents with not enough athletes riders from nearby continents were used (e.g. Ecuador for North America and Hong Kong, Iran and Malaysia for Australasia).

Fencing

Nine continental teams were created containing athletes from both genders and all three weapons. Athletes were chosen for each team based on their performance from the individual events. For example, the top ranked athletes from Asia-Oceania in each event were grouped into Asia-Oceania 1 while the second highest ranked athletes from that continent were placed into Asia-Oceania 2.

Golf

Initially golf was to not have mixed NOC entrants, however, two teams of mixed nations were created due to not having a partner from their own nation.

Judo

13 teams were created and named after judo legends. Teams of 7 or 8 athletes were made by categorizing all athletes by weight and drawing one athlete from each weight group. Other considerations in the draw were medalists were to be evenly separated among all teams and no two athletes from the same nation were on the same team.

Modern pentathlon

Shooting

Table tennis

Athletes from nations that were unable to create a team by themselves were first paired off by continent and then intercontinental. The highest ranked boy from one continent was paired with the highest ranked girl from the same continent and so on.

Tennis

Athletes from nations that were unable to create a doubles team by themselves were first paired off by region, then zone and then intercontinental. The highest ranked boy from one area was paired with the highest ranked girl from the same area and so on.

Triathlon

Based on their performance from the individual events athletes were grouped together by continent while the remaining athletes were grouped together as intercontinental teams. For example, the top two ranked boys and top two girls from Europe were grouped together as Europe 1 while the next two ranked boys and next two ranked girls from Europe were grouped together as Europe 2 and so on.

title: Frederick Raine

text:
Frederick Raine (May 13, 1821 – February 26, 1893) was a German-American newspaper editor and later diplomat.

Biography
Frederick Raine was born May 13, 1821, in Minden, Prussia, modern day North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Other sources date his birth to May 13, 1823. Raine’s ancestors were from England and Westphalia.

Raine started his newspaper career as an apprentice.  At 14 Raine began working with his uncle Frederick Wundermann in his Munster print shop. Raine also worked as an assistant editor for his uncle’s newspaper Westfälische Zeitung (Westphalian Newspaper). In the autumn of 1840, Raine joined his father and brother Wilhelm in Baltimore, Maryland, where they had moved four years earlier. Raine’s father was a publisher and owned a print shop in Baltimore. When Raine arrived he first started working for his father’s Whig campaign paper Der Demokratische Whig (Democratic Whig). In 1841, at nineteen, Raine founded the German-language newspaper Der Deutsche Correspondent in Baltimore. Raine depended on his father’s print shop and brother’s assistance during the first years of the paper’s existence.

Historians refer to Raine as a Democrat. Though Raine supported states’ rights preceding the Civil War, he supported the preservation of the Union over secession and the continuation of slavery. Raine increasingly became involved in civic and governmental affairs. As Governor Oden Bowie awarded Raine the ceremonial title of colonel, by which Raine was often referred to for the remainder of his life.  In 1885 President Grover Cleveland appointed Col. Raine consul-general in Berlin.  Raine return to Baltimore from Berlin in 1889 and remained a prominent German-American figure in the region, appearing at public events in Baltimore and Philadelphia. Raine suffered from a mild stroke on February 24, 1893, and died two days later on February 26. On November 6, 1897, the Frederick Raine Medal was established. The annual prize was to be awarded to the Baltimore City College student “most proficient in the study of the German language and German literature.”

title: Hodna Mountains

text:
The Hodna Mountains (, ) are a mountain massif in northeastern Algeria.  It rises on the northern side of the Hodna natural region in the M'Sila Province, near the town of Maadid around 200 km southeast of Algiers. These mountains are one of the ranges of the Saharan Atlas, part of the Atlas Mountain System.

Geography and vegetation
The Hodna Mountain ridge is located south of Kabylie. It sits at a parallel latitude in a roughly east–west direction between the Bibans in the northwest and the Belezma Range in the east. The highest peak, at 1,902 meters, is the Djebel Tachrirt; another important summit is 1,659 m high. This mountain is a part of an important religious pilgrimage of some native tribes of Algerians. Djebel Guetiane, both located in the easternmost range of the Hodna chain already in Batna Province, towards the transition zone with the Aurès Mountains. The Maadid Range, the Kiyāna Range and the 'Aqqār Range are other subranges of the Hodna Mountains.

The Hodna Range has a zone of about 8,000 ha of natural cedar forest near Boutaleb growing in relatively xerophile conditions.

Water management
The former inhabitants of the Hodna Mountains built a complex system of water retention walls named jessour. They were built parallel to the level curves forming steps in the talwegs. On the northern slopes of the Djebel Tachrirt the walls were constructed above the ground level, allowing the snow to accumulate and to melt slowly in order to distribute the available water resulting from the snow melting period. Most of these traditional water management works are now in ruins.

History

The Beni Hammad Fort or Al Qal'a of Beni Hammad () is the ruin of a fortified Muslim city belonging to the Hammadid dynasty that was built and settled in 1007 and abandoned in 1090. It is located on the southern slopes of the range and includes a 7 km-long line of walls. Inside the walls are four residential complexes, and the largest mosque built in Algeria after that of Mansourah, similar to the Grand Mosque of Kairouan, with a tall minaret (20 m). The remains of the emir's palace, known as Dal al-Bahr, include three separate residences separated by gardens and pavilions.
Excavations of the area have brought to light numerous terracotta items, jewels, coins and ceramics, including a number of decorative fountains using the lion as a motif.
In 1980 the Beni Hammad Fort was inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

In 945, as Abu Yazid besieged Sousse, Caliph al-Qa'im Bi-Amrillah died and was succeeded by his son al-Mansur. Under al-Mansur's leadership, the Fatimid forces recovered their position, first breaking the siege of Sousse and then driving Abū Yazīd's forces out of Kairouan back into the Aurès Mountains. In 947, the Fatimids finally defeated them in the Kiyana Mountains of this massif near what later became the Beni Hammad Fort.

The members of EURO are national Operational Research Societies which are full members of International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS) and originate from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Its affairs are regulated by a Council consisting of one representatives of all its members and an executive committee which constitutes its board of directors.

The current EURO member societies are:

 Austria
 Belarus
 Belgium
 Croatia
 Czech Republic
 Denmark
 Estonia
 Finland
 France
 Germany
 Greece
 Hungary
 Iceland
 Ireland
 Israel
 Italy
 Lithuania
 Netherlands
 Norway
 Poland
 Portugal
 Serbia
 Slovakia
 Slovenia
 South Africa
 Spain
 Sweden
 Switzerland
 Turkey
 Tunisia
 United Kingdom

Activities
EURO publishes scholarly journals and books about operational research, and organizes international conferences. It also bestows Awards, supports working groups, and organizes educational meetings.

Publications

EURO publishes 4 scholarly journals:
 European Journal of Operational Research
 EURO Journal on Computational Optimization
 EURO Journal on Decision Processes
 EURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics
and the book series EURO Advanced Tutorials in Operational Research.

Awards

EURO bestows a number of prizes:
 EURO Gold Medal. The highest distinction within OR in Europe is conferred for an outstanding contribution to the OR science.
 Distinguished Service Award, a recognition of distinguished service to EURO, the Association of European Operational Research Societies and to the profession of OR.
 Excellence in Practice Award, to recognize outstanding accomplishments in the practice of OR.
 Doctoral Dissertation Award, to recognize the OR contributions of PhD students or scientists having less than two years research experience since completing a PhD.

 EURO Award for the Best EJOR Papers, to recognize the best papers published in the European Journal of Operational Research.

Conferences and Meetings
EURO organizes a number of different conferences and events throughout each year:
 The EURO-k Conferences are broadly oriented and can be organized in cooperation with other associations such as INFORMS.
 EURO Mini Conferences  have the objective of assembling a limited number of specialists around a specific theme. At most two EURO Mini Conferences can be supported each year.
 EWG Meetings are organized by each EURO Working Group.

Working Groups and Forums
EURO Working Groups are the organizational framework provided by EURO to groups of researchers and practitioners interested in a specific operational research topic. Each EURO Working Group holds at least one meeting per year, organizes sessions at conferences, publishes special issues of OR journals, and organizes conferences or seminars. The European Working Group on Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (EWG-MCDA), the European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization (ECCO), the European Working Group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics (VeRoLog), the EURO Working Group on Locational Analysis EWGLA, the Continuous Optimization Working Group EUROPT, and the European Working Group on Metaheuristics (EU/ME) are among the most active groups.

EURO Forums are groups tasked with progressing a specific initiative that supports the ongoing health and vitality of OR research and practice. A EURO Forum differentiates itself from a EURO Working Group by promoting the health and vitality of OR without tying itself to a specific research domain or methodology.
As of 2023, EURO has three forums:
 WISDOM (Women In Society: Doing Operational Research and Management Science)
 EUROYoung
 EURO Practitioners' Forum

Education
EURO organizes educational meetings throughout each year:
 EURO PhD Schools are an instrument to encourage the organization of post-graduate education initiatives for PhD students under a school format.
 EURO Summer/Winter Institutes provide an opportunity for around 25 early stage researchers to meet for about two weeks. Participants present their material, discuss it with others and with a handful of specially invited senior experts in the field, and finally prepare a paper to be considered for inclusion in a feature issue of an OR publication.

title: List of dinner theaters

text:
This is a list of dinner theaters. Dinner theater (sometimes called "dinner and a show") is a form of entertainment that combines a restaurant meal with a staged play or musical. Sometimes the play is incidental entertainment, secondary to the meal, in the style of a sophisticated night club or the play may be a major production with dinner less important and in some cases it is optional. Dinner theater requires the management of three distinct entities: a live theater, a restaurant, and usually a bar.

title: Square and Compass, Worth Matravers

text:
The Square and Compass is a Grade II listed public house in Worth Matravers, Dorset. Built in the 18th century as a pair of cottages before becoming a public house, the Square and Compass got its name in 1830 from a landlord who had been a stonemason. The building includes a museum of fossils and other local artefacts and the pub is one of only five nationally that has been included in every edition of CAMRA's Good Beer Guide since 1974.

In 2015, the landlord built a sculpture of tree trunks, dubbed Woodhenge. He was told to take it down by the local council, but after an online petition he was allowed to keep it standing for two years. As of December 2020, Woodhenge remains standing.

History

The public house was originally built in the 18th century as a pair of cottages. In 1776 it became 'The Sloop', an alehouse with connections to smuggling. In approximately 1830 the landlord, Charles Bower, changed the name to the Square and Compass, as he had been a stonemason. It was bought by Charlie Newman in 1907, great-grandfather of the current proprietor of the same name. At the time it included oil lamps, no running water or flushing toilets and no bar counter. The lights are now powered by electricity and there is running water, but there is still no bar counter - drinks are served through two serving hatches.

The pub is named after Square and Compasses, the tools used by carpenters and stonemasons reflecting the significance of quarrying and stonemasonry to the local economy. It is known as Sqump to its regulars, the Square and Compass was popular amongst the Telecommunications Research Establishment scientists in Purbeck, who knew the inn as Sine and Cosine.

The public house includes a small museum which displays fossils and local artefacts. The artefacts were collected by the current landlord and his father, with the majority of fossils collected locally. In 2014, the Square and Compass won the Good Pub Guide's award for Unspoilt Pub of the Year. It is one of just five pubs, known as the 'Famous Five', to have featured in all 48 (at 2021) editions of CAMRA's Good Beer Guide since 1974.

The public house currently serves locally produced beer and cider and has events each week including live music and open mic nights.

Building

The Square and Compass was built in the 18th century of rubble stone walls, stone chimney stacks and a stone stale roof. It is a single storey building with an attic, which has been converted to include dormer windows.  The nearby outbuildings which are of a similar construction have been converted to include garage doors. The building is built on a T-shape plan; there is a two-storey wing to the left of the building which extends to the front and rear, which has plastered walls. The structure became a Grade II listed building on 13 December 1984.

Inside the pub are two simple rooms with flagstones, a woodburner and basic furniture. There is no bar, instead drinks are served through two serving hatches. In the garden outside the benches and tables are made of stone.
It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

Woodhenge

The landlord of the Square and Compass, Charlie Newman, built a tree trunk sculpture known as Woodhenge, in the field near the public house. The trunks were originally planned to be used for firewood, before Newman built the structure, which was complete in time for the summer solstice in 2015. Built from two trees, one  high, Newman described the Woodhenge as "a bit of fun". The structure is  wide and  high, weighing about .

Newman was initially instructed to dismantle the sculpture by Purbeck District Council after a complaint from the public, as the field is within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and did not meet planning regulations. After an online petition, the council decided that the structure could remain for two years.

At college, he makes everyone believe that he is rich and his parents are NRI. He dates Radha, daughter of a millionaire, based on the lie. They eventually get married without him inviting his parents even. Radha relents when she finds out the truth but takes it in her stride as she too was greedy for the wealth and status which makes her unqualified to judge him. She, however, decides to respect her in-laws.

With a change of heart, Raja and Radha invite Vadivel and Saro to live with them. They too concede so that they can be with their son and grandson eventually. However, Raja and his father-in-law, gradually transform the couple to watchman and cook of the house getting rid of their servants. In due course, they get insulted and leave the house. They are in for a shock when they find that their house and the land has been taken over by Raja who has built an apartment their and sold the same. The whole change of heart was a ruse. Meanwhile, Saro has developed heart disease and needs treatment.

With all avenues closed, Vadivel sues Raja for him to payback all the money he took from them saying that since Raja never ever declared that Vadivel is his father in presence of anyone, he cannot claim that the money came as a duty of a parent. If Raja were to claim the parentage, he needs to do his duty of saving his mother's life. The judge understands the situation, makes him pay for the same with the threat of going to prison. Saro's life is saved but they both shun Raja and Vadivel returns to work vowing to trust and care about only himself and his wife.

title: Sydney Crookshank

text:
Major-General Sir Sydney D'Aguilar Crookshank  (3 June 1870 – 17 August 1941) was a British military engineer who served with the Royal Engineers in the British Army and the British Indian Army.  Most of his early career was spent in colonial service; he later served as a senior officer during the First World War.

As a temporary Lieutenant-Colonel he was Commander, Royal Engineers (CRE), of 47th (1/2nd London) Division on the Western Front from 30 July 1915 to 27 November 1916. On 21 May 1916 in the Vimy sector the Germans fired a mine and attacked the division's positions in overwhelming numbers. The situation was so critical for a while that Crookshank brought his Sappers of 47th (2nd London) Divisional Engineers up to man the trenches as infantry. He was awarded a Distinguished Service Order on 3 June 1916. Later, as a Major-General he was appointed Director-General (Transportation) of the British Armies in France on 19 March 1918.

After the war, Crookshank was appointed Honorary Colonel of 47th (2nd London) Divisional Engineers on 3 March 1923.

title: Guidoccio Cozzarelli

text:
Guidoccio Cozzarelli (1450–1517) was an Italian Renaissance painter and miniaturist.

Cozzarelli was born in Siena, and was a student and collaborator of Matteo di Giovanni, with whom it is sometimes possible to confuse him due to their similar styles, and has led to some difficulty in painting attributions. Compared to Matteo, Cozzarelli's style is less fine, but more adept in chiaroscuro and color scheme. Cozzarelli primarily painted religious-themed works for church commissions, and became more popular as a miniaturist and painter, which includes the parchment preserved in the state in Siena, and the thumbnails stored in Siena Cathedral (1480s). This is considered his most fertile period in which Cozzarelli produced the Baptism of Christ and the Madonna and Saints (1486) in the church of San Bernardino in Sinalunga. He also painted Madonna Enthroned with St Jerome and the Blessed Colombini (1482). In the following years he worked for the Duomo di Pitigliano, the parish church of Ancaiano (1491) and the church of San Michele Arcangelo in Paganico, including Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints. In the Pinacoteca Nazionale (Siena) are exhibited various works of the painter, including San Antonio, and Santa Caterina surrounded by Doctors and Pharmacists.

Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium, or simply Church, is a bar on Edgewood Avenue in the Old Fourth Ward of Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States. It is owned by Grant Henry, an American former divinity student, artist and businessman best known for his artwork and installations created under the auspice of his alter ego "Sister Louisa".

History
In 2001, Henry opened an Atlanta gallery on St. Charles Ave. in Atlanta called Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room; Come on in, Precious. The gallery closed after six months. At the time, Henry was bartending at a bar called The Local. He was voted "Best Bartender" in the city for 2006 and 2007 by the readership of Atlanta's alternative publication, Creative Loafing.

In 2010, Henry opened Church. The New York Times described the bar by writing, "Opened in December 2010 by Grant Henry, a former divinity school student, this bar plays with, and spoofs, church culture. Karaoke is performed in choir robes, and walls are decorated with faux-religious pop art."

title: Edgewood Avenue

text:
Edgewood Avenue is a street in Atlanta, Georgia, United States which runs from Five Points in Downtown Atlanta, eastward through the Old Fourth Ward. The avenue runs in the direction of the Edgewood neighborhood, and stops just short of it in Inman Park. Edgewood Avenue was first important as the route of a streetcar line to Inman Park, Atlanta's first garden suburb and home to many of its most prominent citizens. Today, the avenue is known for its restaurants and nightlife around its intersection with Boulevard.

History

Edgewood Avenue has its origins with the Atlanta & Edgewood Street Railroad Company, originally authorized to run horsecars along Foster Street to what was then the separate village of Edgewood. The company, owned by Joel Hurt, introduced Atlanta's first electric streetcar service in 1889. The streetcar was designed to make Hurt's garden suburb, Inman Park, easily and comfortably accessible.

At the time, on the present route of Edgewood Avenue, there existed two streets: Line Street, which ran from Peachtree Street east to Pryor Street, and Foster Street, which ran east from Calhoun (now Piedmont Avenue) due east towards the town of Edgewood. In between were 94 houses and lots. In order to provide a direct rout for the railway, Hurt's East Atlanta Land Company demolished the dwellings, built the missing road, and improved the entire avenue, rechristening it with its present name.

Restaurant and bar district
After decades of neglect, the part of the avenue located in the Old Fourth Ward has become a bar and restaurant district, home to a number of Atlanta's most eclectic nightspots. These include Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium a.k.a. simply Church, Corner Tavern, Noni's, Circa and the Sound Table, which was recognized as one of the 50 Best Bars in America by Food & Wine magazine. Bar and restaurant-owners are attracted to Edgewood's "non-corporate" feel, mostly due to its urban layout and historic buildings showcasing turn-of-the-century architecture. This all showing another period of growth and maturity for the corridor, since 2013 when Edgewood Avenue around Boulevard had been perceived by some as a site of "drug traffic, petty crime, and homeless hideaways".

, more eating and drinking establishments are opening, such as Bad Dog Taqueria, the Music Room, and Panbury's Double Crust Pies, as owners seek to capitalize on improved access to the area, particularly to tourists from downtown, via the Atlanta Streetcar, which will start service in late 2014.

In 2013, Creative Loafing editor Cliff Bostock called Edgewood Avenue "the most 'diverse' party and dining area in the city ... I'm talking age, sexual orientation, and lifestyle, as much as race." In April 2014, Atlanta magazine noted that the avenue had become "a foodie hangout", and only "recently". The article quoted Keiran Neely, co-owner of Pizzeria Vesuvius and the Music Room, as saying: "Edgewood Avenue has begun to explode based on the streetcar ... It seems like every week there’s a new restaurant or bar."

Transportation
Since late 2014 the Atlanta Streetcar has operated service along Edgewood Avenue eastbound from Park Place NE to Jackson St. NE, connecting the Centennial Olympic Park area in Downtown Atlanta to Sweet Auburn and the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Historic Site.

At each end, Edgewood Avenue is served by MARTA trains, at Five Points and Inman Park/Reynoldstown stations.

From 2013 to 2014, the Edgewood Avenue Bridge over the BeltLine trail was demolished and replaced, costing 4.5 million.

title: James Stout (rackets)

text:
James Stout, born 16 August 1984, is a world-ranked professional squash, rackets and real tennis player from Bermuda.

Stout was the World Champion of Rackets between 2008 - 2017, and is also ranked within the top ten in the world in Real Tennis and Squash Doubles.

He previously played professional squash on the Professional Squash Association (PSA) world tour, achieving a career high ranking of world #116 in 2004.

Alongside his pro athlete career, he has been a teaching professional at the New York Racquet and Tennis Club since 2006.

Career

Stout began playing squash in Bermuda at the age of 4.  At 13, Stout moved to England to attend boarding school at Cheltenham College, where alongside squash he also began playing the sport of rackets, coached by Mark Briers.

Stout’s early promise in rackets was shown when he won both the esteemed Foster Cup and the First Pairs Cup two years in succession, in 2000 and 2001.

In 2003, at the age of 19, he moved to Belgium to pursue his professional squash career, basing himself in the city of Antwerp and competing on the PSA tour internationally.  The same year, Stout was part of the Bermuda National Team to compete at the World Team Squash Championships in Vienna, Austria.

In 2006 he represented Bermuda in squash at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne Australia, and later that year at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Cartagena, Colombia.  He moved to the United States in late 2006 after being offered a teaching professional position at the New York Racquet and Tennis Club.  The same year he also won the US Professional singles rackets championship and the Western Open rackets championship.  In 2007, Stout represented Bermuda at the Men’s World Open Squash Championships, and again won the rackets titles at the US Professional singles and Western Open.

He defeated former world champion Neil Smith 3-0 in the U.S. Open rackets final in January 2008, and the following month won the British Open rackets championship defeating Alex Titchener-Barrett 4-1.  By virtue of those two victories he was granted the right to challenge then world champion Harry Foster. The World Championship match against Foster was held in late 2008;  Stout defeated Foster by a score of 6-1 (4-1 in the first leg in New York, and 2-0 in the second leg in London) becoming the second youngest ever rackets World Champion at the age of 24.

In 2009, Stout was awarded Bermuda Male Athlete of the Year in the Bermuda Government Sports Awards, and again became the British Open rackets champion.

The following year, Alex Titchener-Barrett challenged Stout for the rackets World Championship title which Stout successfully defended, winning 4-0 in the first leg in New York, and 1-1 in the second leg at the Queens Club in London.

In 2010, Stout also became the US Open rackets champion and US Open real tennis champion, defeating several higher seeds, including the defending champion, to win the title.

Stout retired from competitive singles Rackets following the 2019 season and relinquished his world title. Stout continued to play competitive doubles and won the World Championship with Jonathon Larken in 2016 and again in 2018 before losing it to Tom Billings and Richard Owen in 2021. Recently Stout has played with new partner Peter Cipriano and they are the current holders of the US open doubles where they defeated Benjamin Cawston and Mike Bailey 3-1 in New York.

Stout began playing professional squash doubles on the Squash Doubles Association tour in 2012, and won the Graham Cup with his partner Greg McArthur  and the William White tournament during the 2012-2013 season.

title: Robert Spencer (artist)

text:
Robert Carpenter Spencer (1 December 1879 – 11 July 1931) was an American painter who received extensive recognition in his day. He was one of the Pennsylvania impressionists, but is better known for his paintings of the mills and working people of the Delaware River region than for landscapes. His work is held in numerous public collections.

Early years

Robert Carpenter Spencer was born on 1 December 1879 in Harvard, Nebraska, son of Solomon Hogue Spencer, a Swedenborgian clergyman and a distant descendant of the English noble Spencer family. His mother was Frances Strickler Spencer, daughter of a buggy manufacturer.
His father left the church to teach for a few years while his two children were infants. He returned to the ministry in 1884.
He co-founded, published and edited The New Christianity, a Swedenborgian journal.
The family moved often. They lived in Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia and then Yonkers, New York, where Robert Spencer graduated from high school in 1899.

Spencer had planned to study medicine, but instead in 1899 began to study art at the National Academy of Design in New York City. He met and befriended the painter Charles Rosen while at the academy.
From 1903 to 1905 he studied under William Merritt Chase at his New York School of Art, and probably studied under Robert Henri.
He spent about a year working for a civil engineering company as a draftsman and surveyor.
His father died in 1906.

Career

In 1906 Spencer moved to the Bucks County area, where Charles Rosen had settled three years earlier.
For the next few years he lived in various small towns on the Delaware River.
These included Frenchtown, New Jersey and Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania.
During this period he studied with Daniel Garber, who strongly influenced his style.
For a few years Spencer and an artist friend Charles Frederic Ramsey lived in poverty in an extremely dilapidated old house called the Huffnagle Mansion.
They paid a nominal rent of $2 per month. The house had peeling plaster and little in the way of heating. The lavatory was an outhouse.
Spencer was very productive during this period, and won awards at the National Academy of Art and Design and the Art Club of Philadelphia.

Spencer studied with the established landscape painter William Lathrop.
In 1913 he met Margaret Alexina Harrison Fulton (born 1882), a fellow student of Lathrop who was an architect as well as a painter.
Margaret was from a wealthy Philadelphia family.
She was the niece of the painters Alexander and Birge Harrison.  They married in 1914.
They moved first into an apartment and then into a new house.
Spencer became an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1914.
In 1916 Spencer, Rae Sloan Bredin, Charles Rosen, Morgan Colt, Daniel Garber and William Langson Lathrop formed The New Hope Group to arrange for exhibitions of their work.

In the 1920s Spencer began painting landscapes of the Delaware River valley.
He experienced a series of nervous breakdowns in the years that followed.
His marriage became unhappy.
In the summer of 1925 he visited Spain, France and Italy.
He returned to Europe on 1927 and spent several months in Paris.
He started painting imaginary scenes with European settings.
On July 11, 1931, Spencer committed suicide with a handgun in his studio.
He left two daughters. including artist Ann Spencer (artist)

Work

Spencer is known for his paintings of figures against a backdrop of factories and apartment houses, in an impressionist style with short, tight brushstrokes.
The paintings he made in 1909–10 of the Pennsylvania mills and the women mill workers are considered his best.
He said, "A landscape without a building or a figure is a very lonely picture to me."
Well known works include The Silk Mill (1912), Grey Mills (1913), The Closing Hour (1913) and Repairing the Bridge (1913).
The Metropolitan Museum of Art bought Repairing the Bridge in 1914.
His painting On the Canal, New Hope was acquired in 1916 by the Detroit Museum of Art.
It depicts the back of run-down houses on the canal, with the lower portions whitewashed and bathed in light, with women doing housework.

A contemporary critic wrote, "Interpreted thro' the temperament of Robert Spencer a squalid motive which most of us would pass daily and regard as hopelessly commonplace is presented in a way to stir our emotions and without losing anything of its truth..."
Pierre Bonnard said in 1926 "Mr. Spencer . . . is in the full vigor of his talent, which is great. His art does not resemble European art, a rare fact in America."
According to the art collector Duncan Phillips he was"a rebel always against the standardized and stereotyped in art... [there was] no other painter, not John Sloan, or Edward Hopper, more pungently American in expression."

Spencer exhibited widely in the United States and abroad.
Institutions that hold his work include the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the James A. Michener Art Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, the Berkshire Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Academy of Design, The Reading Public Museum, the Detroit Institute of Fine Arts, the National Arts Club, the Delaware Art Museum, the Widener University Art Museum and The Phillips Collection in Washington D.C.

Traces of de Groote’s career can be found not only in Belgium, Switzerland, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, but in many of the former East Block countries, including the Czech Republic. Jacques de Groote personifies the symbol of the IMF and World Bank of the 1970s and 1980s.

Academic career
From July 1955 to January 1957, he was an assistant at Cambridge University. From 1963 to 1992, he taught at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Namur (Belgium) as a professor, lecturing on subjects related to money and credit theories, monetary mechanisms and current international finance issues. From 1963 to 1973, he took a professorship at the University of Leuven. From 1957 to 1960 and from 1963 to 1965, he was an assistant professor at Lille Catholic University, where he taught courses in structural economics and history of economic thought. de Groote holds an MA in economics from Cambridge University and a law, economics and political science degree from his alma mater at the University of Leuven.

Financier career
Jacques de Groote began his career as a financier in January 1957. In the first few months of 1960, serving as a secretary, he contributed to preparations for the de-colonisation of the Belgian Congo. From April 1960 to May 1963, he was an assistant to the Belgian representative at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington, D.C. In May 1963, he joined the National Bank in Belgium, where he was active in international affairs. In July 1965, he was offered the position of financial advisor to the Belgian delegation at the OECD in Paris, where he headed a number of working groups involved in reviewing the first draft of multilateral agreements guaranteeing private investments. Between March 1966 and May 1969, he was economic advisor to the government of the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he was also a financial advisor to the country’s National Bank.

In 1973, de Groote became Executive Director of the IMF and World Bank. During this time, he actively supported certain African representations, working to have the IMF and the World Bank enter into closer economic cooperation with them. In addition to his work in the Congo, de Groote held the position of Director at the Research Department of the Belgian National Bank from April 1971 to November 1973. Within the IMF, where he was active until 1994, de Groote represented a group of countries that included Czechoslovakia, or, as the case may be, the Czech Republic.

MUS case
The MUS affair concerns the fraudulent privatization of MUS (Mostecká Uhelná Spolecnost), one of the principal coal mines in the Czech Republic, which took place at the end of the 1990s.
After his time at the World Bank and the IMF, de Groote began working with Stephen Norris, the co-founder of the investment group Carlyle Group. de Groote became the president of one of Norris’s companies, Appian Group, and was a member of the Board of Directors of Appian Group. As it turned out, de Groote used the Appian Group as a screen to effect illegal purchases of stock in MUS, disguising the true identity of the buyers who were, not the Appian Group, but five Czech managers of MUS. He admitted as much in a testimony he submitted on 12 June 2013 during the MUS trial before the Swiss Federal Criminal Court at Bellinzona. It was a crucial piece of evidence leading to the conviction and prison sentences for the five Czech managers while de Groote himself narrowly escaped prison. He was however found guilty of fraud, no doubt a first for a former Executive Director of the IMF.

de Groote left Appian Group in 2002.
