text:
Marianne Flynner, (born 16 September 1954) is a Swedish singer.

During the 1980s she travelled with Rocktåget, and sung as a backup-choir girl with among others, Roxette and Eva Dahlgren.

For eight years, she lived in California, before studying at Adolf Fredrik's Music School.

in the United States, she was influenced by country music. By late 1993, Country Girl came out and her first album with own songs, and it peaked at 47th position at the Swedish album chart. In 1994 came her second album, Tic-Tac Time, and in 1996 came her third, Sagt och gjort. The albums consisted of acoustic, country-influenced, folk rock.

In 1984, Agnetha Fältskog recorded her composition "Eyes of a Woman".  This became the title track of Agnetha's second English solo studio album, released in 1985.  The album peaked at No. 2 in the Swedish charts and No. 38 in the UK charts.

In 1995 she scored a hit together with Susanne Alfvengren and Åsa Jinder performing the Swedish women's national team fight song "Det är nu!" during the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup, which was played in Sweden.

On 4 January 1997, her song "Den sista december" received a Svensktoppen test, but failed to enter chart.

Another famous song is "Hennes ögon" from 1996, written by Lotta Ahlin, and recorded by, among others, Jill Johnson in 1998.

title: Medicinal fungi

text:
Medicinal fungi are fungi that contain metabolites or can be induced to produce metabolites through biotechnology to develop prescription drugs. Compounds successfully developed into drugs or under research include antibiotics, anti-cancer drugs, cholesterol and ergosterol synthesis inhibitors, psychotropic drugs, immunosuppressants and fungicides.

History

Although fungi products have long been used in traditional medicine, the ability to identify beneficial properties and then extract the active ingredient started with the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Since that time, many potential antibiotics were discovered and the potential for various fungi to synthesize biologically active molecules useful in various clinical therapies has been under research. Pharmacological research identified antifungal, antiviral, and antiprotozoan compounds from fungi.

Ganoderma lucidum, known in Chinese as líng zhī ("spirit plant"), and in Japanese as mannentake ("10,000-year mushroom"), has been well studied. Another species of  genus Ganoderma, G. applanatum, remains under basic research. Inonotus obliquus was used in Russia as early as the 16th century; it featured in Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's 1967 novel Cancer Ward.

Research and drug development

Cancer
There is no good evidence that any type of mushroom or mushroom extract can prevent or cure cancer.

11,11'-Dideoxyverticillin A, an isolate of marine Penicillium, was used to create dozens of semi-synthetic, candidate anticancer compounds. 11,11'-Dideoxyverticillin A, andrastin A, barceloneic acid A, and barceloneic acid B, are farnesyl transferase inhibitors that can be made by Penicillium. 3-O-Methylfunicone, anicequol, duclauxin, and rubratoxin B, are anticancer/cytotoxic metabolites of Penicillium.

Penicillium is a potential source of the leukemia medicine asparaginase.

Some countries have approved beta-glucan fungal extracts lentinan, polysaccharide-K, and polysaccharide peptide as immunologic adjuvants.

Antibacterial agents (antibiotics)

Alexander Fleming led the way to the beta-lactam antibiotics with the Penicillium mold and penicillin. Subsequent discoveries included alamethicin, aphidicolin, brefeldin A, cephalosporin, cerulenin, citromycin, eupenifeldin, fumagillin, fusafungine, fusidic acid, helvolic acid, itaconic acid, MT81, nigrosporin B,  usnic acid, verrucarin A, vermiculine and many others.

Antibiotics retapamulin, tiamulin, and valnemulin are derivatives of the fungal metabolite pleuromutilin. Plectasin, austrocortilutein, austrocortirubin, coprinol, oudemansin A, strobilurin, illudin, pterulone, and sparassol are under research for their potential antibiotic activity.

Cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitors

Statins are an important class of cholesterol-lowering drugs; the first generation of statins were derived from fungi. Lovastatin, the first commercial statin, was extracted from a fermentation broth of Aspergillus terreus. Industrial production is now capable of producing 70 mg lovastatin per kilogram of substrate. The red yeast rice fungus, Monascus purpureus, can synthesize lovastatin, mevastatin, and the simvastatin precursor monacolin J.  Nicotinamide riboside, a cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitor, is made by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Antifungals

Some antifungals are derived or extracted from other fungal species. Griseofulvin is derived from a number of Penicillium species; caspofungin is derived from Glarea lozoyensis. Strobilurin, azoxystrobin, micafungin, and echinocandins, are all extracted from fungi. Anidulafungin is a derivative of an Aspergillus metabolite.

Antivirals

Many mushrooms contain potential antiviral compounds remaining under preliminary research, such as: Lentinus edodes, Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma colossus, Hypsizygus marmoreus, Cordyceps militaris, Grifola frondosa, Scleroderma citrinum, Flammulina velutipes, and Trametes versicolor, Fomitopsis officinalis.

Immunosuppressants

Cyclosporin was discovered in Tolypocladium inflatum, while Bredinin was found in Eupenicillium brefeldianum and mycophenolic acid in Penicillium stoloniferum. Thermophilic fungi were the source of the fingolimod precursor myriocin. Aspergillus synthesizes immunosuppressants gliotoxin and endocrocin. Subglutinols are immunosuppressants isolated from Fusarium subglutinans.

Malaria

Codinaeopsin, efrapeptins, zervamicins, and antiamoebin are made by fungi, and remain under basic research.

Diabetes

Many fungal isolates act as DPP-4 inhibitors, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and alpha amylase inhibitors in laboratory studies. Ternatin is a fungal isolate that may affect hyperglycemia.

Psychotropic effects

Numerous fungi have well-documented psychotropic effects, some of them severe and associated with acute and life-threatening side-effects. Among these is Amanita muscaria, the fly agaric. More widely used informally are a range of fungi collectively known as "magic mushrooms", which contain psilocybin and psilocin.

The history of bread-making records deadly ergotism caused by ergot, most commonly Claviceps purpurea, a parasite of cereal crops. Psychoactive ergot alkaloid drugs have subsequently been extracted from or synthesised starting from ergot; these include ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, ergometrine, ergocristine, ergocryptine, ergocornine, methysergide, bromocriptine, cabergoline, and pergolide.

Vitamin D2

Fungi are a source of ergosterol which can be converted to vitamin D2 upon exposure to ultraviolet light.

Yeasts

The yeast Saccharomyces is used industrially to produce the amino acid lysine, as well as recombinant proteins insulin and hepatitis B surface antigen. Transgenic yeasts are used to produce artemisinin, as well as insulin analogs. Candida is used industrially to produce vitamins ascorbic acid and riboflavin. Pichia is used to produce the amino acid tryptophan and the vitamin pyridoxine. Rhodotorula is used to produce the amino acid phenylalanine. Moniliella is used industrially to produce the sugar alcohol erythritol.

She represented Georgia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Malta with the song "Happy Day" and co-hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Tbilisi with Helen Kalandadze.

Life and career

Early life
Liza Japaridze was born on 19 September 2004 in Tbilisi. She studies at the Georgian-American School. Japaridze speaks English, Russian and French, in addition to her native Georgian. Since 2011, she has studied vocals at the BzikebiStudio led by Giga Kukhianidze, whose songs represented Georgia at Junior Eurovision in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Career

Japaridze released her debut single "Make-Up!" in 2012. She went on to release the singles "Cloud" and "Zgapari galagshi" as well, the latter of which was recorded with Candy, the winners of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011. She had a starring role in the children's musical film Stapilo Story: Kurdgheli vs Mgeli.

In 2014, Japaridze was chosen to represent Georgia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Malta, performing the song "Happy Day". Japaridze went on to place eleventh, the worst result for Georgia in Junior Eurovision. 'Happy Day', however, remained the most-watched video on the Junior Eurovision Song Contest channel for some years, before being overtaken by Roksana Węgiel's song Anyone I Want To Be. At Junior Eurovision, Japaridze performed with Sopho Dashniani, Dea Dashniani, Ketevan Arbolishvili, and Nita Lomidze as her backing vocalists and dancers. She was later announced as the Georgian spokesperson at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015.

Japaridze hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Tbilisi alongside Helen Kalandadze. She is the second youngest ever to host the contest, only behind Ioana Ivan, who was only 12 when she hosted in 2006 and the first former participant to host the contest.

In 2021, she released a single called "Desire", composed by herself and Giga Kukhianidze.

title: Yang Jian (diver)

text:
Yang Jian (; born 10 June 1994) is a Chinese diver.

Yang started practicing gymnastics on his parents' will aged four and five years later he took up diving. His desire for risky jumps quickly brought him the nickname "King of Difficulty" amongst teammates. He won gold in the 10m platform event at the 2014 FINA Diving World Cup. Shortly after his international debut, he became the first one in history to accomplish a dive with difficulty of 4.1 since the regulation was introduced and set a world record for a single jump to 123 points. But in the following year, Yang finished his first tour to the world championships due to knee injury with the unexpected 10th place. Another right heel injury during training in November 2018 forced him to take surgery and rest for a month. In 2021, Yang won a silver medal in the 10m platform event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

title: The Rock Connection

text:
The Rock Connection is the twenty-seventh solo studio album by Cliff Richard. Released in November 1984 on EMI, the album is a part studio, part compilation album. It includes seven studio tracks recorded exclusively for the album, five tracks from the previous year's limited release album Rock 'n' Roll Silver, one previously released single, and one B-side from 1980.

The album reached number 43 on the UK Albums Chart. Two singles were released to promote the album. "Shooting from the Heart" was released in October 1984 and only reached number 51 on the UK Singles Chart. "Heart User" was released in January 1985 and only reached number 46. Most notably, although released almost two years prior, the hit single "She Means Nothing to Me" - a duet with Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers featuring Mark Knopfler - was included. Originally released in January 1983 and lifted from Phil Everly's self-titled solo album, "She Means Nothing to Me" made it to number 9 on the UK Singles Chart.

Critical reception
Reviewing for AllMusic, critic Bruce Eder wrote of the album "The resulting album was decidedly uneven -- much of it came off as a loud, lean, crisp mix of rock & roll and power pop, Richard's voice surrounded by (and often immersed beneath) in-your-face electric guitars and synthesizers."

title: Johny Diba

text:
Jonathan "Johny" Diba Musangu (born 12 October 1997) is a Congolese-British convicted sex offender and former professional footballer. He played as a goalkeeper.

Early life
Diba was born on 12 October 1997 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and moved to Rochdale in England at a young age. He attended St Cuthbert's RC High School with whom he reached the final of the English National Schools Cup as a Year 7 in 2009 with a team that also included Connor Ronan, Kisimba Kisimba and Axel Tuanzebe, who all went on to turn professional.

Club career
Diba joined the youth set up of his local side Rochdale at the age of 11. Diba was promoted to the first team squad at the start of the 2014–15 season, attending preseason training in Tenerife less than a month after completing his GCSEs. He made his debut for Rochdale at the age of 16 on 16 August 2014, replacing an injured Josh Lillis 60 minutes into a League One match with Chesterfield at the Proact Stadium. Diba received a yellow card for handling outside of the penalty area and conceded one goal from the penalty spot in what ended as a 2–1 defeat.

In August 2014, it was reported by the Daily Star that both Arsenal and Chelsea were interested in signing Diba. Arsenal scouted Diba in Rochdale's pre-season friendly against AFC Fylde later that month.

Diba signed his first professional contract on 18 November 2014. In the same month, Rochdale manager Keith Hill tipped Diba as a future Championship player along with his teammates Jamie Allen and Scott Tanser.

On 2 September 2016, Diba joined National League North side FC United of Manchester on a one-month loan. Diba made his debut for the club in a 0–0 draw against Curzon Ashton. Diba made five appearances for the club. On 1 April 2017, Diba joined NPL Division One North side Glossop North End on loan.

Diba was released by Rochdale at the end of the 2016–17 season following the expiration of his contract.

In September 2017, he joined Ashton United on the same day as fellow goalkeeper Ashley Frith.

In January 2018, Diba joined his last club Mossley. Diba played 23 times for Mossley.

International career
In the 2011–12 season Diba attended two England U15 training camps. In November 2012 Diba was called up to a two-day England under-16 goalkeeper training camp at St George's Park National Football Centre. In 2014, Rochdale manager Keith Hill said to the local press that Diba should be considered for the England under-18 side.

Sexual offences and criminal activity
In June 2021, Diba pleaded not guilty to three counts of raping a child under 13, three counts of rape, two counts of sexually assaulting a child under 13, two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, and three counts of sexual activity with a child. Diba did, however, plead guilty to a further charge of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

Following a four-week trial, Diba was found guilty of raping and sexually abusing six girls and a woman over a five-year period. Upon being found guilty, Diba fell to his knees and cried loudly. The hearing had to be paused whilst court staff carried him from the room. On 24 September 2021, Diba was jailed for 24 years with an extended licence period of four years.

It is also often used in a more structured fashion to record small amounts of machine-readable data into the DNS.

Background
A domain may have multiple TXT records associated with it, provided the DNS server implementation supports this. Each record can in turn have one or more character strings. Traditionally these text fields were used for a variety of non-standardised uses, such as a full company or organisation name, or the address of a host.

Some examples of TXT usage:
 Verification of domain ownership
 Implementation of Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
 DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) records for verifying the sender of email messages
 Zero-configuration networking DNS-based service discovery
 Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) policies
Using TXT records to store data for different purposes is not without problems. The DNS protocol specifies that when a client queries for a specific record type (e.g., TXT) for a certain domain name (e.g., example.com), all records of that type must be returned in the same DNS message. That may lead to large transactions with lots of "unnecessary" information being transferred and/or uncertainty about which TXT record to use. There are two ways around this: to specify a domain name prefix to be used when using TXT records for a specific purpose (e.g., _domainkey.example.com – in the DKIM case) or to create a new record type entirely. The former is "easy" because it doesn't require any changes to the DNS. The latter is sometimes considered "cleaner" as it matches the design of the DNS database model better. In the past, creating new record types was often avoided since it was a complicated procedure in the IETF. The reluctance lingers with some people despite the process having been replaced by a much lighter and quicker one.

Format
The structure of the TXT record is specified in  as follows. Note that the specification is silent on the subject of character encoding of the text string. It explicitly states that the interpretation of the string is context dependent, and that the data is treated as binary inside the DNS. Later specifications (e.g.,  – DNS used for service discovery) may require the use of specific encodings for specific purposes.

The RDATA section may contain multiple consecutive occurrences of (TXT Length + TXT). Data Length is the length of them all combined.

This is the hex returned as part of the DNS response from example.com when queried for TXT records.

title: Embassy of Malaysia, The Hague

text:
The Embassy of Malaysia in the Netherlands is the diplomatic mission of Malaysia and is situated in The Hague, Netherlands. It is located at Rustenburgweg 2 in The Hague, in a diplomatic zone of the seat of government in the Netherlands. Opening hours are from 9:00 to 16:30 pm Monday to Friday. Consular hours are from 09:00 to 12:30 Monday to Thursday.

Brief History
When Malaysia (then Malaya) applied to join the United Nations in 1957, the Netherlands was one of the countries that voted “yes” during the roll call for the admission of new members, making it possible for the Federation of Malaya to become the 82nd the member of the United Nations. Although the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries started in that same year, Malaysia only established its resident Embassy in The Hague in September 1966. It moved to its permanent building at Rustenburgweg in the summer of 1985.

Agencies under the Embassy

In addition to the Chancery building in Rustenburgweg, there are three Malaysian agencies which operate as part of the Embassy:
 The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), located in Rotterdam
Culture / Tourism Office, located in the city centre in The Hague
 Agriculture Office, located in Rotterdam

title: DJK Don Bosco Bamberg

text:
The DJK Don Bosco Bamberg is a German association football club from the town of Bamberg, Bavaria. DJK stands for Deutsche Jugendkraft, a sports organisation associated with the Catholic Church while John Bosco, popularly known as Don Bosco, was an Italian Roman Catholic priest of the Latin Church, educator and writer of the 19th century.

The club's greatest success came in 2012 when it qualified for the new northern division of the expanded Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system but lasted for only one season there. It made a return to this league in 2015 after a Landesliga championship.

History
DJK Don Bosco Bamberg was formed in 1950 by local catholic priest Richard Feuerlein. Its primary focus was to be towards providing sporting opportunities for the local youth, inspired by the work of Don Bosco who engaged in work with impoverished youth.

For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football. The team rose as far as the Bezirksliga Oberfranken-West in 1996, but was soon relegated. Promoted in 2000 and relegated from this league again in 2002 it once more returned in 2006. After two more Bezirksliga seasons the club won the league in 2008 and earned promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken. The club spent two seasons there before earning another promotion, now to the Landesliga.

The club played for two seasons in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord, until the league was disbanded in 2012. Don Bosco came seventh in its first season there but finished only twelfth in its second year. Through the promotion round, however, the club managed to qualify for the new northern division of the Bayernliga.

DJK Don Bosco lasted for only one season in the Bayernliga before being relegated again, now to the Landesliga Bayern-Nordwest, where it plays today. The club broke a Landesliga record when it won all of its first twelve games in the league at the start of the 2014–15 season, and eventually won the league and earned promotion back to the Bayernliga.

Honours

 Runners-up: 2006

Recent seasons
The recent season-by-season performance of the club:

With the introduction of the Bezirksoberligas in 1988 as the new fifth tier, below the Landesligas, all leagues below dropped one tier. With the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 and the 3. Liga in 2008 as the new third tier, below the 2. Bundesliga, all leagues below dropped one tier. With the establishment of the Regionalliga Bayern as the new fourth tier in Bavaria in 2012 the Bayernliga was split into a northern and a southern division, the number of Landesligas expanded from three to five and the Bezirksoberligas abolished. All leagues from the Bezirksligas onwards were elevated one tier.

title: Peter Macklem

text:
Peter Tiffany Macklem (October 4, 1931 – February 11, 2011), OC, FRCP(C), FRSC was a Canadian doctor, medical researcher and hospital administrator.

Life
Peter Tiffany Macklem was born in 1931 in Kingston, Ontario, and grew up there. He was educated at Queen's University and McGill University Medical School, receiving his MD, CM from McGill in 1956.

He married Joy Belcourt and had five children. A resident of the Thousand Islands area, he helped lead the campaign (still in progress) to have the Saint Lawrence River named a Canadian Heritage River. He was also president of the Thousand Islands Area Residents' Association.

He died suddenly at home in Brockville in 2011, at the age of 79.

His nephew, Tiff Macklem, is the current Governor of the Bank of Canada.

Medical career
Macklem trained as a resident in internal medicine at the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) and then became a research fellow in the cardio-respiratory service for the hospital. This formed the basis for his lifelong interest in the mechanics of breathing. In 1963, he became a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. In 1967, Maklem became director of the Respiratory division at the RVH.

In 1972, he became a professor of Medicine at McGill and senior physician at the RVH. He was founding director of the Meakins-Christie Laboratories at McGill from 1972 to 1979. In 1979, he became chief physician at the RVH and, the following year, chair of the Department of Medicine at McGill. In 1987, he became chief physician at the Montreal Chest Institute.

Research
Macklem pioneered the study of small airway physiology in the lungs and demonstrated the early lung damage caused by smoking. He was an early explorer of the concept of respiratory muscle fatigue and shone a light on its role in respiratory disease.

Awards and honors
In 1982, he was named a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and, in 1988, an Officer in the Order of Canada.

In 1999, he was awarded the Trudeau Medal of the American Lung Association and the Gairdner Foundation Wightman Award. In 2003, he was awarded the Prix Michel-Sarrazin. Macklem was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in 2012.

title: Spinus (bird)

text:
Spinus is a genus of passerine birds in the finch family. It contains the North and South American siskins and goldfinches, as well as two Old World species. The genus name is from the Ancient Greek  spínos, a name for a now-unidentifiable bird.

All of the species in the genus, except for the Tibetan serin, were formerly included in the genus Carduelis. They were moved to the resurrected genus Spinus based on phylogenetic studies of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences. The Tibetan serin was formerly placed in the genus Serinus. The Eurasian siskin and the Tibetan serin are the only species from the Old World included in the group.

The genus Spinus was introduced in 1816 by the German naturalist Carl Ludwig Koch with the Eurasian siskin (Spinus spinus) as the type species.

Evolution and phylogeny
The Tibetan serin is an outgroup within Spinus, having been the first to diverge.  The remainder of the genus can be divided into three monophyletic clades: the North American goldfinches (Lawrence's, lesser, and American); the so-called North American siskins (Eurasian, pine, Antillean, and black-capped); and the South American siskins (the remaining 12 species).

The radiation of South American siskins was rapid, and was originally thought to have occurred around 3.5 million years ago due to a range expansion associated with the Great American Interchange and contingent upon the spread of mesothermal plants from the Rocky Mountains to the Andes. More recent work suggests the radiation occurred much later, within the last 1 million years, and speciation events may have been initiated by the climactic variations of the late Pleistocene.

The hooded siskin may be paraphyletic.

Ecology
Spinus finches are gregarious and may breed and forage in small groups. In the non-breeding season, these species generally disperse away from the breeding grounds and small flocks roam nomadically in search of food; these flocks may be of one species or mixed with other species in the genus. Some species, such as the pine siskin and thick-billed siskin, are considered irruptive.

Like most other members of Carduelinae, but unusually amongst songbirds, members of Spinus are primarily granivorous, but may occasionally supplement their diet with insects or fruit.  Most species eat a variety of small seeds, especially from asters, grasses, alders, and birches.

Conservation
The IUCN lists 17 species as least concern, two as vulnerable (saffron siskin and yellow-faced siskin), and one, the red siskin, as endangered.  Species in this clade are threatened by habitat loss and capture for the cage-bird trade.

Species
The genus contains 20 species:

title: Harvey Lisberg

text:
Harvey Brian Lisberg (born 2 March 1940) is an English talent manager and impresario, best known for discovering Herman's Hermits in 1963. In 1965, he signed songwriter Graham Gouldman, a founder member of 10cc, who Lisberg also managed, along with Godley & Creme, Tony Christie, Barclay James Harvest, Gordon Giltrap, Sad Café, Wax and others.

Early life
Harvey Lisberg was a war baby, born in Manchester, UK, to Violet (née Sternberg) and Judah Lisberg, into a Jewish family.  His father joined the British Army at the beginning of World War II, and served in North Africa and Italy until 1945.  Mother and son evacuated to Blackpool for the duration of the war, and Lisberg was five years old when he first spoke with his father.  Reunited, they returned to Manchester, and young Lisberg was sent to Jewish Day School, before transferring to Carmel College in Oxfordshire, where he was the youngest boarder at school.  He ran away three times, once getting as far as London on a penny platform ticket, and struck a deal with headmaster, Kopul Rosen, who let him off as long as he did not run away again.  At age eleven, Lisberg attended Salford Grammar School, graduating in July 1962 as a Bachelor of Arts in Commerce from the University of Manchester.

Sport management
Lisberg was always interested in sport, particularly football.  In the 1960s, he managed Fred Pickering, when he played for both Everton F.C. and the England national football team.

In the 1970s, he managed England Under-21 player, Gary Owen, negotiating his transfer from Manchester City F.C. to West Bromwich Albion F.C. with Ron Atkinson, for what was then a substantial fee.

Lisberg oversaw the production of several football-related songs, some recorded at Strawberry Studios, and performed and/or written by future members of 10cc, e.g. Boys in Blue (1972), For Ever Everton (1972), and Willie Morgan on the Wing (1974). More recent football songs are Shearer Shearer (1996), and United City Calypso (2011), featuring Lisberg himself as the artist parodying Lord Kitchener's classic 'City and United 1956 – The Manchester Football Double', to celebrate the next Manchester football double in 2011, when Manchester United F.C. and Manchester City F.C. won the Premier League and the FA Cup respectively.

In 1981, Lisberg ventured into the snooker world; by signing Jimmy White, who he helped mould into the people's champion. Lisberg arranged a complete makeover for White: with a new permed hairstyle, French designer clothes, and a photo session with Patrick Lichfield.

About his move into snooker, Lisberg said "Snooker just had a magic at the time I came into it, around '81.  I got more publicity in six weeks representing Jimmy White than in twenty years representing world superstars.  Snooker was like the pop music of the 'sixties, and the players were stars in their own right".

Within months, he had added White's good friend and idol, Alex Higgins, to a stable of players that would later include Tony Knowles, John Virgo, David Taylor and Willie Thorne, but by 1985, Lisberg decided to abandon his snooker interests after White defected to another manager in breach of contract.

Music management
The British Invasion of the 1960s (Herman's Hermits and Graham Gouldman)

In 1963, Lisberg was a trainee at accountants Binder Hamlyn (now known as BDO International) when he discovered Herman's Hermits at a church hall in Davyhulme.  By early 1964, he was their co-manager, and approached E.M.I.'s Derek Everett, who suggested producer Mickie Most, who in turn agreed to work with the band after seeing them perform in Bolton on a prepaid return air ticket from Lisberg. Soon signed to EMI, their first single was the Gerry Goffin and Carole King composition, I'm into Something Good (with B-side Your Hand in Mine, co-written by Lisberg), which went to Number 1 in the UK charts in September/October 1964.

As George Tremlett put it in his book The 10cc Story:

In autumn 1964, Lisberg enlisted Graham Gouldman, to write songs at his office for a modest weekly retainer. The first endeavour, "For Your Love", was rejected as a Herman's Hermits single by Mickie Most. Lisberg then tried to get the song heard by The Beatles when they were playing the Hammersmith Odeon, and via Ronnie Beck was introduced to the support act's manager, Giorgio Gomelsky who placed it with his band The Yardbirds. Peaking in February 1965 at No. 3 in the UK charts and reaching No. 6 in the US Billboard Hot 100, the song literally broke The Yardbirds, since it also signaled the departure of lead guitarist, Eric Clapton. In 1965, Gouldman penned two more hit songs for The Yardbirds, namely "Heart Full of Soul", whose title was conceived by Lisberg, and "Evil Hearted You".  Under Lisberg's wing Gouldman's output proliferated with a string of hit singles for various artistes such as "Look Through Any Window" and "Bus Stop" for The Hollies, "Pamela Pamela" for Wayne Fontana, and before long even Mickie Most capitulated by releasing a total of three Gouldman-written hit singles for Herman's Hermits namely "Listen People", "No Milk Today" and "East West", which was later covered (with new lyrics inserted in the third verse) by Morrissey in 1989.

The stellar successes of Herman's Hermits and Gouldman seduced Lisberg into making music management his full-time job. In the mid-1960s he joined forces with Danny Betesh and took a 50 per cent stake in Kennedy Street Enterprises, who had promoted The Beatles' first tour. Between April and May 1965, a hat-trick of Manchester-based acts, all Kennedy Street artistes, enjoyed an unprecedented consecutive six week spell at No. 1 on the US Hot 100, with Freddie and the Dreamers spending two weeks at the top with "I'm Telling You Now" (10–24 April), Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders one week with "Game of Love" (24 April-1 May), and then Herman's Hermits a further three weeks with "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" (1–22 May).

Lisberg spent much of his early career globe-trotting with Herman's Hermits, who capitalized on a string of hits in the US and later in the UK, but he also represented acts such as Little Frankie, The Herd, The Measles, Eric Woolfson, The Mockingbirds, John Paul Joans and Julie Driscoll.  Always particularly interested in the song, he signed up an array of singer/songwriters such as Harvey Andrews, Peter Cowap, Barry Greenfield, Mark T. Jordan, Ramases and notably Kevin Godley and Lol Creme.

In the mid-1960s, the then unknown songwriters Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice approached Lisberg in the hope that he would place a new song titled "Any Dream Will Do" with Herman's Hermits. The song was rejected by Mickie Most as a Herman's Hermits single, but Lisberg nevertheless signed the duo to a development deal when he heard their sketches for a musical called Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. At the time there were no takers for the sketches, but the show, which morphed into a pop cantata written for schools and then became a concept album before being staged on the West End and later as a Broadway production, has since exceeded all original expectations.

As Sir Tim Rice put it:

Lisberg managed Wayne Fontana after he left the Mindbenders, allowing guitarist Eric Stewart to step-up to lead vocals on "A Groovy Kind of Love", which reached No. 2 in the UK and US in 1965. Stewart's Mindbenders appeared in To Sir, With Love, starring Sidney Poitier, and released a few singles, two of which were written by Gouldman who later joined the band on bass until it folded in mid-1968, liberating Stewart to focus on developing Strawberry Studios which he co-founded with Peter Tattersall.

Lisberg procured a deal for Gouldman to move to New York and write songs for Super K Productions, the 'bubblegum' hit factory owned by Jerry Kasenetz and Jeffry Katz.  This was later reworked allowing Gouldman to return for a few months to record at Strawberry Studios providing both money and kudos for the studio. In 1969, Gouldman acquired a third of the shares in Strawberry and soon Kennedy Street would also become a stakeholder. Even if the Strawberry Bubblegum sessions didn't yield much memorable musical output, they did bring Stewart, Gouldman, Godley and Creme together on various polyonymous pre-10cc vinyl incarnations, made in their own studio in provincial Stockport, UK, a new destination for international artists from Neil Sedaka to Joy Division.

The 1970s (Strawberry Studios and 10cc)

In 1970, as a sonic experiment to test a 4-track Ampex recording desk, Stewart, Godley and Creme recorded "Neanderthal Man" which was released as a single under the name of Hotlegs. The song became an international smash hit and sold over 2 million copies worldwide, reaching No. 22 in the US, No. 2 in the UK and topping the charts in Italy. Hotlegs put out an album Thinks: School Stinks (which inspired Alice Cooper's School's Out), and as both Crazy Elephant and Doctor Father, the single "Umbopo".

By this time, Lisberg had already agreed to be Tony Christie's manager after seeing him perform at an awards ceremony in Winter Gardens, Blackpool. Lisberg secured a record deal with MCA Records and introduced Christie to Mitch Murray and Peter Callander, the successful songwriting and production duo.  Christie's first two hits were the Murray and Callander compositions "Las Vegas" and "I Did What I Did for Maria", which respectively peaked at numbers 21 and 2 in the UK singles chart, but a follow-up third single was lacking.  On a business trip to New York in mid-1971, Lisberg approached Neil Sedaka's publisher Don Kirshner in search of a new gem, and when Sedaka tapped out "(Is This the Way to) Amarillo?" on piano, Lisberg knew he had found Christie's third hit record.

In late 1971, "Amarillo" was a huge European hit and soon became Christie's signature tune, but it rose no higher than number 18 in the UK.  It lay dormant for more than three decades until it was lip synced as a video by UK comedian Peter Kay, and some celebrity friends for the 2005 Comic Relief charity drive.  The original Tony Christie single was the biggest hit in the UK in 2005 holding on to the No. 1 spot for seven weeks and still remains one of the few singles in the UK to have sold over 1 million records.

In early 1972, after the success of "Amarillo", Lisberg convinced Neil Sedaka to record some new compositions at Strawberry Studios using Eric Stewart to engineer the recordings with Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme as session musicians. Sedaka initially agreed to record only three songs but in the event he put down a whole album in just two weeks.  The album, Solitaire, marked Sedaka's comeback after a 10-year absence, and the title song was a top five hit for Andy Williams.  In 1973, Sedaka revisited the Strawberry team to record his album The Tra-La Days Are Over featuring "Love Will Keep Us Together", whose title is sardonically referenced by antithesis in Joy Division's 1980's Strawberry Studios' recorded classic, "Love Will Tear Us Apart".

After supporting The Moody Blues on tour as Hotlegs, and their acclaimed work as studio band for Ramases, Kasenetz-Katz, Neil Sedaka and others, the four session musicians decided to pool their talents as a unit.  In 1972, they signed to Jonathan King's UK Records label, who named the band 10cc releasing two albums, 10cc (1973), and Sheet Music (1974), which featured five UK hit singles, "Donna" – No. 2, "Rubber Bullets" – No. 1, "The Dean and I" – No. 10, "The Wall Street Shuffle" – No. 10 and "Silly Love" – No. 24.  The band satirized its small royalty in "4% of Something", and Lisberg tried to leverage the band's success by renegotiating but UK Records was intransigent.  In 1975, for a big advance and fair royalty, 10cc left UK Records and moved to Phonogram.

Phonogram released 10cc's third album, The Original Soundtrack (1975), and its hit singles, "Life Is a Minestrone" – No. 7, and "I'm Not in Love", which took the band to another level. In June 1975, the song went to No. 1 in the UK and reached No. 2 on the US charts and was acknowledged as one of the best songs of that year, winning three Ivor Novello Awards for Best Contemporary Song, the Most Performed Work and International Hit of The Year. The song, acclaimed as one of the best love songs ever, is featured in Guardians of the Galaxy, the biggest film of 2014, whose soundtrack Awesome Mix Vol.1 hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. 10cc's fourth album, How Dare You! (1976), had two UK hit singles, "Art for Art's Sake" – No. 5 & "I'm Mandy Fly Me" – No. 6.

In 1976 Godley & Creme left 10cc, to record a concept album featuring Peter Cook and Sarah Vaughan, to showcase their invention 'the Gizmo'. The triple album boxed-set was called Consequences (1977), which is now a collector's item. Lisberg reflected:

In 1977, Stewart and Gouldman released 10cc's Deceptive Bends album, with singles "The Things We Do for Love" peaking at No. 2 in the UK and No. 5 in the US followed by "Good Morning Judge" going top 5 in the UK The 1978 Bloody Tourists album featured their best selling and final No. 1 single, "Dreadlock Holiday", later used in the 2010 Mark Zuckerberg biopic The Social Network, but "[t]he 10cc hit machine effectively ground to a halt when Eric Stewart was involved in a car crash in January 1979".

After hearing their demo tape in early 1977 and declaring the group chart certainties, Lisberg decided to manage Sad Café who he placed with RCA Records. The band achieved only moderate commercial success with the first two albums, Fanx Ta Ra (1977) and Misplaced Ideals (1978), but Lisberg persuaded RCA to recruit Eric Stewart as producer for the third album, Facades (an anagram of 'Sad Cafe'), which yielded three top 40 singles with "Every Day Hurts", reaching No. 3 in the UK in September 1979.

Lisberg managed Barclay James Harvest from 1973 to 1977 securing a deal for them on Polydor. Known for their albums and already successful in Europe, he arranged for the band to record their 1975 Time Honoured Ghosts album in San Francisco with legendary producer Elliot Mazer, which failed to break them in America. Under Lisberg's tenure BJH also released Everyone Is Everybody Else (1974), Octoberon (1976), Gone to Earth (1977), and their only UK Top 50 hit single in March 1977.

In 1979, Lisberg approached David Hemmings who was raising funds for a film featuring Joan Collins and starring Farrah Fawcett, and put forward Graham Gouldman to write and record the title song, Sunburn, which became a minor hit single for him in the UK Intrigued by the concept and his similar name, Lisberg approached Steven Lisberger for Gouldman to write and record the soundtrack for his animated film Animalympics, but commercial success was impeded by the US led 1980 Summer Olympics boycott.

The 1980s onwards

Warner Brothers Records negotiated with Lisberg for Graham Gouldman to produce the Ramones album Pleasant Dreams, and oversaw the US release of 10cc's seventh album Look Hear? (1980) and their eighth, Ten Out of 10 (1981), which, at Lenny Waronker's instigation debuted Andrew Gold as co-writer and guest musician on three tracks including their only 1980's UK top 50 hit Run Away. Gold declined Stewart and Gouldman's invitation to join 10cc for their ninth album, Windows in the Jungle (1983).

When 10cc disbanded in 1983, Gouldman and Gold reconnected and formed Wax who signed to RCA for three albums, Magnetic Heaven (1986), American English (1987) and A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes (1989). Wax achieved success on both sides of the Atlantic when "Right Between The Eyes" reached No.43 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1986 and "Bridge to Your Heart" peaked at No.12 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1987.  Lisberg placed "Alright Tonight" in Burglar, starring Whoopi Goldberg.

Meanwhile, Godley and Creme became pioneering music video producers, and also released six albums of their own, highlighted by the hit singles "Under Your Thumb" – No. 3, "Wedding Bells" – No. 7 and the iconic "Cry" – their only US top 20 hit.  In 1987, Lisberg colluded with Brian Berg of Polydor to reunite the two camps on one compilation which manifested as Changing Faces – The Very Best of 10cc and Godley & Creme, the best-selling 10cc album to date.  Godley and Creme themselves split up in 1988.

The success of Changing Faces prompted Polydor to ask for another album featuring all four original band members which was delivered, in a diluted form, with 10cc's tenth album, Meanwhile (1992). A few years later, Avex, the biggest independent record label in Japan, commissioned and released 10cc's final album, Mirror Mirror (1995), with co-writes from Sir Paul McCartney on "Yvonne's The One" (Stewart/McCartney), and Sir Tim Rice on "The Monkey and the Onion" (Rice/Gouldman).

In the mid-1990s Lisberg sold out his 50 per cent stake in Kennedy Street and now splits his time between the US and the UK.

On 30 March 2023 Omnibus Press released his autobiographical memoir "I'm into Something Good".

title: Abdul Kerim al-Qubrusi

text:
Aydoğan Fuat, formally referred to as Shaykh Abdul Kerim al-Qubrusi (), was an American Sufi Sheikh of Turkish Cypriot origin and former representative of the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Order in the United States, under the leader Nazim Al-Haqqani.

Early years
Abdülkerim was born to Fuat (later Fuat Savaşkan), a dervish known in tariqat circles as Hajji Fuad ar-Rabbani. He attended the khutbah by Shaykh Nazim at Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque in Famagusta and later became a disciple. In November 1973, he joined the Turkish Resistance Organisation and fought around Varosha, Famagusta during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.

Through his life he served under Shaykh Nazim, becoming his representative in North America and throughout the world.

In the United States
In 1974, Shaykh Nazim commissioned Abdülkerim to found a Naqshbandi-Haqqani branch in the United States. He undertook charity work in New York City, mostly rehabilitation of drug addicts.

In 2002, he founded the Osmanlı Dergâhı, a zawiya located in Catskill Mountains, New York. Shaykh Abdul Kerim converted a barn to a Sufi Dergah in the Ottoman tradition. Prayers are held five times a day with special services on Fridays. The Sufi center concentrates on Sufi Zikr (remembrance) with ceremonies every Thursday night and provides outreach to the surrounding community of Sidney, New York. In the words of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani, "He stood up against unbelief. Only one man, and in the US also, another center of unbelief. He also taught them their lesson and limits!"

Death
Abdülkerim died of heart attack during a visit to his dargah in Lefka. He is interred at the Ottoman Cemetery in Famagusta, Northern Cyprus.

title: Ministry of Housing (Bahrain)

text:
The Ministry of Housing (MOH)   is responsible for providing adequate housing for families with limited income in Bahrain.

History and profile
The Ministry was established in 1975 with Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa the first Housing Minister. He served in the post between 1975 and 1995.

The cabinet added the Housing sector to the Ministry of Works functions after Parliament elections in November 2002. It was then called "The Ministry of Works & Housing". In December 2007, the Ministry of Works and Housing was again divided into two separate Ministries, one for Housing and one for Public Works.

Ministry's projects
The ministry has allegedly constructed 91,864 housing services to this day. The most notable projects were the construction of:
 Isa Town
 Hamad Town
 East Hidd City
 East Sitra City
 Northern City (now renamed Salman Town)
 Zayed Town

In 2013 the Ministry of Housing announced the first ever housing public private partnership (PPP).  Partnering with Ithmaar Bank the Ministry has plans to build 50,000 social housing units.  The project has begun with 2,800 units in Al Medina Al Shamaliya and Al Luwzi.

Criticism
In May 2013, Prince Charles’s Foundation for Building Community had signed an agreement with the Bahraini Minister of Housing, Basim Alhamer.  The purpose was to advise on a sustainable-housing development inspired by Charles’s Poundbury village in Dorset. The £700,000  deal was sharply criticised by campaigners who said it deflected attention from human-rights abuses during the 2011 bloody protests for reform in Bahrain.

title: Thaumatophyllum

text:
Thaumatophyllum (formerly Meconostigma) is a genus of flowering plants in the arum family, Araceae. Its species are native to northern (tropical) South America.

Taxonomy
The genus Thaumatophyllum was erected by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1859, with the sole species Thaumatophyllum spruceanum. In 1962, G.M. Barroso transferred T. spruceanum to Philodendron. (However, the transfer was not made correctly and Barroso's name Philodendron spruceanum is illegitimate.) While in Philodendron, T. spruceanum was placed, along with other species, in subgenus Meconostigma. A series of molecular phylogenetic studies, particularly from 2008 onwards, suggested that, when broadly circumscribed, Philodendron was not monophyletic. In 2018, it was proposed that subgenus Meconostigma should be raised to the rank of genus, under the name Thaumatophyllum. The proposal has been accepted by Plants of the World Online, among other taxonomic databases.

The generic epithet Thaumatophyllum comes from Ancient Greek  (, "miracle") +  (, "leaf").

Phylogeny
Relationships among the former subgenera of Philodendron and related genera are not yet fully resolved. Several studies that have produced a resolved tree suggest that relationships may be of the form:

Thaumatophyllum adamantinum (Mart. ex Schott) Sakur., Calazans & Mayo

title: ModeHuman

text:
modeHuman is the debut studio album by Brazilian rock band Far from Alaska, released on May 13, 2014 in Brazil. The album was recorded at the Tambor studio in Rio de Janeiro and produced by Pedro Garcia, former drummer of the rap rock musical group Planet Hemp. It was mastered in Seattle by Chris Hanzsek, who has previously worked with Soundgarden, Melvins and Skin Yard.

Concept and composing
According to the cover art creator Alexandre Wake, the album "works with the concept of robotics through the humanization of the machine and human learning through music". According to keyboardist Cris Botarelli, the figure depicted at the cover art is a "roboa" - a Portuguese way of indicating that it is a female robot, though there isn't really such word in Portuguese and robots are always treated as male objects - that just arrived on Earth and whose mission is to replace a human being in society. To do so, it'll be required to learn "many people's nuances, their relationships, their sentimental connections and all those things that make us more than a whole lot of logical equations and numbers" The album tracks create a kind of a "manual of perspectives for this robot to assimilate". Musically speaking, Botarelli said she couldn't explain much. "It's this craziness you see there, [...] heavy guitars, crazy little keyboards, bass with synth."

The picture was taken in Pipa Beach and the model is a friend of the members, using clothes borrowed from vocalist Emmily Barreto or Botarelli. Wake then completed the image with the structures covering her bust and hands.

The album was originally planned to feature new material only. However, during the recording sessions, the band decided to include re-recorded versions of the four tracks from their previous EP Stereochrome, since they realized the songs were part of the moment of creation of the band and its identity, and also because they felt the lyrics matched the overall theme of the album.

modeHuman is mainly influenced by grunge, stoner rock and garage rock artists such as Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age and Jack White.

Song information
"Thievery" was chosen as the opening track for being the band's first composition. The lyrics deal with jealousy and the band consider its riff to be the best they ever created. The track received a promotional video. "Deadman" talks about reaching the rock bottom and getting over it. The song was composed in various steps, eventually reaching its final, dense form. At 2:13, drummer Lauro Kirsch can be heard speaking German about speaking German. "Another Round", Kirsch's favorite, covers a similar topic: surpassing and persistence. "Politiks" was the track composed in the shortest time, during a car trip to a band's meeting. The lap steel riff by Botarelli was the first time she ever played the instrument. By the end of the track, Brasil uses a vocoder, even though he is not an English speaker. The lyrics cover the topic of "graft, usage of influence to subdue a person and restrict their freedom, in any aspect". The track was awarded as the "Best Song of the Year" by Prêmio Hangar de Música.

"About Knives" was considered by Botarelli as a summary of the album. It was the third track of the album to receive a promotional video, with images shot in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, England and India. The track's epigraph comes from the poem "O homem, as viagens" (The man, the trips), by Carlos Drummond de Andrade. "Rolling Dice" talks about one hesitating to do the right or wrong thing when it's not what they want to do. It received a lyric video. "Mama" was the second composition by the band and talks about "growing up and finding themselves in a World that's quite different from the comics, a common conflict at the end of adolescence". "Greyhound", named after an English dog breed notorious for its speed talks about "human greyhounds", people that carry on with their lives the way they want and regardless of social pressures. It was composed before the release of Stereochrome and almost made it to the track list.

"Communication" is the only track that was not completely created by the band. It was co-written by Botarelli and a friend of the band, Henrique Geladeira. Together, they formed a nightclub band that only did covers and had just two original works. "Communication" was one of them. The version recorded for modeHuman is different from the original one, with its lyrics now expressing how the lack of communication can lead to a relationship's end. "The New Heal" was the third composition by the band and is one of the tracks coming from Stereochrome. The chorus was changed for the album version.

"Tiny Eyes" tells the story of a bird being rescued, with the bird being a metaphor for a person who swallows their pride and accept external help. "modeHuman, Pt.1" is the explanation of the album's concept, speaking of a person that will be replaced by a robot that must learn about human relations. "Rainbows" talks about homosexuality and was the last song to be finished. "Monochrome", the ending track, tells the story of a person that "got tired of fighting against their own nature and accepted the fact that we have control of nothing and that no matter what they do, problems will come up regardless of how much you protect yourself". At 6:29, there is a hidden track, "modeHuman, Pt. 2", which starts full of electronic sounds and slowly grows cleaner and starts demonstrating inconsistencies in its tempo, symbolizing a mechanical robot turning into an organic and imperfect creature - fulfilling "roboa's" mission.

title: The Roman Triumph

text:
The Roman Triumph is a 2007 book by Mary Beard.

Content
The book explores the ritual of the triumph in ancient Roman life, opening with a discussion of Pompey the Great's third triumph of 61 BC which is the most documented of all the Roman triumphs. In the course of the book she explores the triumph from a number of different angles. For example, citing writers such as Ovid as well as epigraphic attestations she tries to delineate what the experience of the triumph was for the common and ordinary people of Rome rather than solely the elite. She also adopts a minimalist position on the question of whether or not triumphs were bound by very detailed and specific rules and regulations, asserting instead that they were somewhat flexible in format and changed over the course of time. She also breaks down a popular theory such as the idea that the Roman general who was being honoured in the process embodied the god Jupiter Optimus Maximus himself, arguing that there is evidence for this but also counter-evidence. She then concludes with a discussion of the triumph of Belisarius in 534 which is often described as the final Roman triumph of all.

Beard's analysis cuts through the enormous amount of writing about Roman triumphs to try to ascertain what their reality was as a fixture in Roman life, attempting to demystify them from the large number of what she refers to as 'rituals in ink' that have existed (whereby contemporary writers such as Polybius, Livy or Josephus sought to glorify a particular triumph) and the large amount of secondary historical scholarship on the matter. An example of the kind of details that are heavily contested and questionable is the tradition of a slave accompanying a processing general repeatedly urging him to remember that he is mortal; this tradition is mentioned differently in accounts by Pliny, Dio or Tertullian and is not mentioned at all in other accounts. Beard therefore argues that such stories may in fact be myth-making rather than a report of actual reality. Another aspect of the oft-repeated later depiction of the triumph includes stories of harsh treatment of captives, which Beard argues may instead have involved a reality where they were treated relatively mildly before then often becoming citizens.

Val de l'Orne was a bay horse with no white markings bred in France by W. Stora. He was one of the best horses sired by Val de Loir who won the Prix du Jockey Club in 1962. Val de l'Orne was the first foal of Aglae, a mare who finished fourth in the Prix de Diane and came from a very successful family: her dam Aglae Grace won the Prix de Diane, produced the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Soltikoff, and was the ancestor of the Poule d'Essai des Poulains winners Red Lord and No Pass No Sale.

In 1974, Val de l'Orne was offered for sale and was bought by representatives of the French businessman Jacques Wertheimer. The price of ₣360,000 was the highest price paid for a yearling colt at auction in France that year. The colt was sent into training with Alec Head and was ridden in most of his races by his trainer's son Freddy Head.

Racing career

1974: two-year-old season
Val de l'Orne was kept off the racecourse by several training setbacks, including a serious respiratory infection before making his debut in a race over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse in September. He disputed the lead from the start before drawing away in the straight to win by three lengths from Blue Vermillion, Tiepolino and Easy Regent. The form of the race was subsequently boosted when Easy Regent won the Critérium de Saint-Cloud. The colt was then moved up sharply in class for France's most prestigious race for two-year-olds, the Grand Critérium over 1600 metres at Longchamp on 13 October and started the 9/2 fourth choice in the betting. After being settled in fifth place by Freddy Head he moved up to take the lead 400 metres from the finish but was overtaken in the closing stages and finished second, two lengths behind the winner Mariacci. Alec Head commented that if anyone had told him in August that Val de l'Orne would finish second in the Grand Critérium he would have thought them "crazy".

1975: three-year-old season
Val de l'Orne began his three-year-old season in the Prix Noailles over 2100 metres at Longchamp on 27 April. Starting at odds of 1.6/1 in a seven-runner field he defeated the odds-on favourite Top Gear by three-quarters of a length without Head having to use his whip. Two weeks later, started 11/10 favourite for the Prix Hocquart against eight opponent including Top Gear and Easy Regent. Racing on soft ground he won "effortlessly" by two lengths from Top Gear who was in turn two and a half lengths clear of the remainder.

On 8 June, Val de l'Orne started 4/5 favourite for the Grand Prix du Jockey Club over 2400 metres at Chantilly Racecourse. His eleven opponents included Mariacci, Top Gear, Easy Regent from France as well as Patch, an ex-Italian colt who had been transferred to England and won the Lingfield Derby Trial by ten lengths. Head settled the colt towards the rear of the field before moving up to dispute third place early in the straight. Patch had taken the lead and looked the likely winner but Val de l'Orne began to make rapid progress and was only a length behind 200 metres out. In the closing stages Val de l'Orne gradually wore down the British challenger and won by a head. It was subsequently revealed that the winner had sustained a serious shoulder injury, which Freddy Head believed had occurred before the turn into the straight. The injury did not respond to treatment and Val de l'Orne did not race again.

Assessment
There was no International Classification of European two-year-olds in 1974: the official handicappers of Britain, Ireland and France compiled separate rankings for horses which competed in those countries. In the French Free Handicap, Val de l'Orne was rated the fourth best two-year-old of the year, behind Mariacci, Green Dancer and the filly Broadway Dancer. The independent Timeform organisation awarded him a rating of 129, five pounds inferior to their top-rated two-year-old colt Grundy. In the following year he was rated 130 by Timeform, seven pounds behind their Horse of Year Grundy. In their annual Racehorses of 1975 the organisation commented that Val de l'Orne's early retirement, and the fact that he had never been tested against older horses made him difficult to assess. In the official French handicap he was the highest-rated three-year-old of the season ahead of Patch and Ivanjica.

Stud record
Val de l'Orne was retired to the Head family's Haras d'Etreham near Bayeux in Normandy and was later transferred to stand at the Windfields Farm in North America.

He was a successful breeding stallion whose best winners included Pay The Butler (Japan Cup), Golden Choice (Queen's Plate), La Lorgnette (Queen's Plate), Val Dansant (Prince of Wales Stakes), Victory Zone (Hollywood Derby), Valuable Witness (Goodwood Cup), River God (Queen's Vase), Alice Springs (All Along Stakes), Baron de Vaux (Woodlawn Stakes), Ruscelli (Prix de La Jonchere) and Truculent (Prix La Force).
