title: Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour season 2014–15

text:
The 2014–15 Pro Tour season was the twentieth season of the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour. It started on 9 August 2014 with Grand Prix Portland and Utrecht and ended on 2 August 2015 with the conclusion of Pro Tour Vancouver. The season consisted of 51 Grand Prix and four Pro Tours, located in Honolulu, Washington, D.C., Brussels, and Vancouver.

Mode

Four Pro Tours and fifty-one Grands Prix were in the 2014–15 season. These are the events that award Pro Points, the points that were used to determine the Player of the Year Standings and Pro Club levels. Players were awarded Pro Levels for earning 20 (Silver level), 35 (Gold), and 46 points (Platinum), however only the six best Grand Prix results were counted towards seasonal point (the newly introduced "Grand Prix" invitation spot in Magic: The Gathering World Championship, however, will count every event in the season). Pro Club Levels came with certain benefits such as qualifications to subsequent Pro Tours, byes at Grand Prix, and airfare to Pro Tours. Based on the final standings of Pro Tours, Grand Prix, Worlds, and the World Magic Cup Pro Points were awarded as follows:

For competitors finishing outside the final elimination stage of Grand Prix and Pro Tours points are awarded depending on their score after the final Swiss round. 16 Swiss rounds are played at Pro Tours, 15 at individual Grand Prix, and 14 at Team Grand Prix. Pro Points are then awarded as follows.

Finally players that participated in the World Championship earned one Pro Point per win in the Swiss Portion and two Pro Points per win in the single elimination stage.

On 31 October 2014, Wizards of the Coast revised the pro point structure and retroactively applied the changes to all events in the current season. On 2 April 2015, they further revised the threshold of Pro Players Club level, lowering the threshold required for Platinum status from 48 to 46.

On 24 April 2014, ChannelFireball, the organizer of Grand Prix Las Vegas, announced the number of pre-registered players in that Grand Prix had exceeds the 5000 threshold, and the Grand Prix main event would be split into two independent Grand Prix main events sharing same venue. Making the total number of Grand Prix in this season to 52 instead of original 51.

title: Herbert Watson (footballer)

text:
Herbert Leonard Watson (20 November 1908 – 13 October 1939) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Middlesbrough, Brentford and Bristol Rovers. A right half, he is best remembered for his time with Brentford, for whom he made over 100 appearances.

Playing career

Middlesbrough
Watson began his career at non-League club Pelton Fell and joined Second Division club Middlesbrough in May 1926. He made his debut in a 4–1 First Division victory over Sheffield Wednesday at Ayresome Park on 7 December 1929. Watson made semi-regular appearances for the club through to the end of the 1929–30 season and scored his first goal for the club in a 5–1 win over Birmingham City on 8 February 1930. He made 13 appearances during the campaign. Watson failed to make an appearance during the 1930–31 season and made his first appearance in nearly two years when he played in a 1–1 draw with Aston Villa on 26 December 1931. He made one further appearance during the 1931–32 season and departed Middlesbrough at the end of the campaign, having made just 15 appearances during his six years with the club.

Brentford
Watson signed for Third Division South club Brentford in May 1932, joining former Middlesbrough teammates Jack Holliday and Billy Scott at Griffin Park. He led the club to promotion to the Second Division as captain in the 1932–33 season and to the First Division for the first time in the club's history in 1935. After the signing of Dai Richards, Watson lost his place in the team and managed just 13 appearances in the First Division during the 1935–36 season (in which Brentford secured their highest-ever league placing of fifth). He departed the club at the end of the campaign, having made 109 appearances and scored one goal during his four years with the club.

Bristol Rovers
Watson and Brentford teammates James Raven and Les Sullivan dropped back down to the Third Division South to join Bristol Rovers during the 1936 off-season. He made 19 appearances during the 1936–37 season before retiring from football.

Personal life
After retiring from football, Watson ran a pub in Brentford.

title: Le tue mani

text:
Le tue mani is a 1970 Easter song written by Marcello Giombini. It has become popular in Sweden as Dina händer är fulla av blommor, with 1972 Swedish-language lyrics by .

The song is a so-called response song, which is sung between men and women, and was probably first presented in Sweden at a hymnology seminar during the early 1970s, before Lars Åke Lundberg wrote lyrics in Sweden. However, he wrote the fourth verse as a prayer to the resurrected Jesus. The 1976 Church Assembly wanted to change lyrics. That caused Lars Åke Lundberg to withdraw his entire propose for lyrics, and all verses were approved.

Two human polls make up the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball rankings, the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll, in addition to various publications' preseason polls.

Legend

AP Poll
This poll is compiled by sportswriters across the nation.  In Division I men's and women's college basketball, the AP Poll is largely just a tool to compare schools throughout the season and spark debate, as it has no bearing on postseason play.

USA Today Coaches Poll
The Coaches Poll is the second oldest poll still in use after the AP Poll. It is compiled by a rotating group of 32 college Division I head coaches. The Poll operates by Borda count. Each voting member ranks teams from 1 to 25. Each team then receives points for their ranking in reverse order: Number 1 earns 25 points, number 2 earns 24 points, and so forth. The points are then combined and the team with the highest points is then ranked #1; second highest is ranked #2 and so forth. Only the top 25 teams with points are ranked, with teams receiving first place votes noted the quantity next to their name. The maximum points a single team can earn is 800.

title: Dibutyltin dilaurate

text:
Dibutyltin dilaurate (abbreviated DBTDL) is an organotin compound with the formula . It is a colorless viscous and oily liquid. It is used as a catalyst .

Description
In terms of its structure, the molecule of dibutyltin dilaurate consists of two laurate groups and two butyl groups attached to a tin(IV) atom. The molecular geometry at tin is tetrahedral. Based on the crystal structure of the related bis(bromobenzoate), the oxygen atoms of the carbonyl groups are weakly bonded to tin atom.

Decomposition
Upon heating to decomposition temperature (which is above 250 °C), dibutyltin dilaurate emits acrid smoke and fumes.

Uses
Dibutyltin dilaurate is used as a paint additive. Together with dibutyltin dioctanoate, dibutyltin dilaurate is used as a catalyst for polyurethane production from isocyanates and diols. It is also useful as a catalyst for transesterification and for the room temperature vulcanization of silicones. It is also used as a stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride, vinyl ester resins, lacquers, and elastomers. It is also added to animal feed to remove cecal worms, roundworms, and tapeworms in chickens and turkeys and to prevent or provide treatment against hexamitosis and coccidiosis.

Hazards and toxicity
Dibutyltin dilaurate can be absorbed through the skin. It irritates skin and eyes (causes redness of skin and eyes). It is a neurotoxin. It can cause injuries to the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms of poisoning with dibutyltin dilaurate include nausea, headache, muscular weakness and even paralysis. Dibutyltin dilaurate is combustible. Its vapor is denser than air (21.8 times denser than air), so it can spread on the floors, forming explosive mixtures with air. On fire, it emits irritating and toxic fumes and smoke which contain tin, tin oxides and carbon oxides. Dibutyltin dilaurate is very reactive with acids and oxidizers.

The 2014–15 National League 1, known for sponsorship reasons as the SSE National League 1 is the sixth season of the third tier of the English domestic rugby union competitions, since the professionalised format of the second tier RFU Championship was introduced; and is the twenty-eighth season since league rugby began in 1987. Ealing Trailfinders are the champions and return to the 2015–16 RFU Championship following their relegation from that league last season. The last three clubs are relegated; Old Albanian to National League 2 South, and Tynedale and Macclesfield to National League 2 North

Structure
The league consists of sixteen teams with all the teams playing each other on a home and away basis to make a total of thirty matches each. There is one promotion place and three relegation places. The champions are promoted to the Greene King IPA Championship and the bottom three teams are relegated to either National League 2 North or National League 2 South depending on the geographical location of the team.

Participating teams and locations

Twelve of the sixteen teams participated in last season's competition. The 2013–14 champions Doncaster Knights were promoted to the RFU Championship and are replaced by Ealing Trailfinders who only spent one season in the league above. The three relegated teams were all promoted in 2012–13 and stayed one season in National League 1; Henley Hawks and Worthing Raiders are relegated to National League 2 South and Hull Ionians to National League 2 North. The promoted teams are Hartpury College and Macclesfield champions of National League 2 South and National League 2 North respectively, and Darlington Mowden Park who won the promotion play-off against Ampthill & District.

title: Chinese Cooperative Council

text:
The Chinese Cooperative Council was a civilian council consisting of leading local Chinese and Eurasians leaders during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.

History
After the British surrender, the Japanese tried to consolidate their power by collaborating with the local Chinese leaders. In January 1942, few weeks after the British surrender, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai invited about 130 leading Chinese and Eurasian leaders in Hong Kong to a formal luncheon set at the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon. In the meeting, Saikai elaborated the idea of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere where the Chinese and Japanese should cooperate with each other.

After Sakai was replaced by Lieutenant General Isogai Rensuke in late January 1942, two councils, the Chinese Representative Council and the Chinese Cooperative Council were established, replacing the Rehabilitation Advisory Committee on 30 March 1942.

The Chinese Cooperative Council was chaired by Chow Shouson, member of the Executive Council and also Legislative Council of the British Hong Kong government before the war. The 22 members of the council were selected by the three-member (later four) Chinese Representative Council which chaired by Lo Kuk-wo (Robert Kotewall).

The Chinese Cooperative Council was directly responsible to the Japanese governor. Its duties were to report to the governor complaints from the population, to convey decisions and policies of the government and to advise the government on matters concerning the population. Although the council met twice a week to discuss issues, it had limited power. All the council could do was to make suggestions and try to persuade the government to accept it. It also headed the District Affairs Bureaux Councils and the wards which were staffed by Chinese.

title: Sistema Cantareira

text:
Sistema Cantareira (Cantareira system) is a water supply system in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It is composed of five interconnected reservoirs that provide water to 9 million people in the São Paulo metropolitan area. The system is managed by Sabesp, São Paulo's state water management company.

History
By 1960, the São Paulo state government, concerned about the high population growth of the city of São Paulo and neighboring towns, whose population has totaled 4.8 million inhabitants, decided to enhance the water supply of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, planning the construction of several reservoirs in the headwaters of Piracicaba River basin, thus beginning the Cantareira System.

In 1966, work began on the construction of reservoirs on the Juqueri River (today Paiva Castro), Cachoeira, and Atibainha. In 1976, the Jacarei and Jaguari reservoirs were started by adding a capacity of 22,000 liters, second to the system.

2014–17 water crisis

In 2014, low rainfall in the state of São Paulo led to a severe drought. The Cantareira system's water level has fallen constantly, leading to water shortages in some areas of the city. Among the measures taken by Sabesp to face the problem are reducing the water pressure to residences, a bonus for customers who save water, and exploring the reservoir's ground water.

With the lack of rain after November 2014, a severe drought situation developed. By February 2015, only 6% of Cantareira's capacity was filled.

title: Årstiderna

text:
Årstiderna (), also known after the opening words Om våren, om våren, is a song written by Alice Tegnér, published in Sjung med oss, mamma!, volume 4 in 1897. Each of the verses represents one of the four seasons, the first taking spring, the second summer, the third autumn, and the last winter. Season songs have since the late 19th century been a common theme in children's songbooks, and in 1943 the song was the first song in the Nu ska vi sjunga songbooks.

Publications
Sjunga med oss, Mamma! 4, 1897;
Nu ska vi sjunga, 1943, under the lines "Årstiderna".

Recordings
An early recording was done in Stockholm in January 1929 by Märta Ekström, with Otto Nordlund playing the piano, and was released as a record in September the same year. The song has also been recorded by Ingela "Pling" Forsman on a 1975 record album with songs from "Nu ska vi sjunga".

title: Guadalcanal thicketbird

text:
The Guadalcanal thicketbird (Cincloramphus turipavae) is a bird species. It used to be placed in the "Old World warbler" family Sylviidae, but it does not seem to be a close relative of the typical warblers; it belongs in the grass warbler family, Locustellidae. It is found on the island of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.

It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the Santo thicketbird (Cincloramphus whitneyi).

title: Mike Dee (baseball coach)

text:
Mike Dee (born May 20, 1958) is an American former baseball coach and outfielder. He played college baseball at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. He served as the head baseball coach at the UIC Flames (1999–2021). Under him, UIC reached six NCAA tournaments. Before coming to UIC, he was an assistant at Minnesota.

Playing career
Dee was raised near Chicago before moving to Wisconsin for his senior year of high school. He played high school baseball at Benet Academy in Lisle, Illinois for three years and at Aquinas High School in La Crosse, Wisconsin for one. He attended the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, where he played three seasons of baseball for the Indians. In 1979, Dee's senior season, the team reached the NAIA World Series.

Coaching career
Dee first coached high school baseball at Aquinas for six seasons from 1982 to 1987. The school won the Wisconsin State Title four straight times from 1984 to 1987. In 1987, Dee was named the Wisconsin State High School Coach of the Year and the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association Coach (WBCA) of the Year.

Minnesota
Dee's first college coaching job came at Minnesota, where he was an assistant under John Anderson from 1988 to 1998. During his tenure, the Golden Gophers reached six NCAA tournaments and never won fewer than 30 games. Dee was named the WBCA Man of the Year in 1996.

UIC
Ahead of the 1999 season, Dee replaced Dean Refakes as the head coach at UIC.

After a losing record in 1999, UIC began the most successful stretch in program history from 2000 to 2008. In the stretch, the Flames had nine 30-win seasons and won eight Horizon League regular season titles and four Horizon League Tournaments.

UIC made its first NCAA tournament in 2003, then reached the postseason again in 2005, 2007, and 2008. The team went 0–2 in 2003 and 2005 but won a game in both 2007 and 2008. In 2007, as the fourth seed in the Long Beach Regional, it upset top-seeded Long Beach State. In 2008, as the fourth seed in the College Station Regional, it defeated second seeded Dallas Baptist in an elimination game.  UIC extended Dee's contract after the 2008 season.

In November 2006, Dee was seriously injured in a practice accident. A player doing a bat release drill accidentally let go of a bat that flew and hit Dee in the face. His orbital, cheekbone, and nose were shattered. Doctors restored his face with major reconstructive surgery and metal implants, and he kept sight in both eyes. He was able to coach the start of the following 2007 season, though he needed a mask and dugout heaters to protect the healing bones from the cold.

Dee has won the Horizon League Coach of the Year award eight times: 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. During his tenure, UIC has had two league Players of the Year, three Pitchers of the Year, and seven Newcomers of the Year.

Six Flames have been taken in the MLB Draft from 1999 to 2014. Future Major Leaguer Curtis Granderson played for the program early in Dee's tenure and was one of the Flames' conference Players of the Year.  In 2014, following a $5 million donation from Granderson to rebuild the stadium, UIC's home field was renamed Les Miller Field at Curtis Granderson Stadium.

On June 15, 2021, UIC announced Mike Dee's retirement. On September 8, Dee, serving as athletic director of Aquinas High School, announced he would also serve as the head coach of the baseball team.

title: 7th Infantry Division (Vietnam)

text:
The 7th Infantry Division is a division of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN).

Vietnam War
The Division was formed on 13 June 1966 in the Mekong Delta region from the 52nd, 141st and 165th Regiments.

On 24 November 1967 while the United States Army was conducting Operation Shenandoah II the Division attempted to close Highway 13 sending the 2nd Battalion, 165th Regiment to attack a U.S. night defensive position on the shoulder of Highway 13 12 km south of An Lộc. The attack was repulsed with the PAVN leaving 57 dead, U.S. losses were 4 dead. On 3 December the 1st Battalion, 141st Regiment attacked another U.S. night defensive position 3 km to the south. This time the PAVN succeeding in penetrating the perimeter before again being forced back by defensive fire, air and artillery strikes. PAVN losses were 27 killed, while U.S. losses were 7 killed. On 10 December the Division attacked Firebase Caisson VI 6 km south of An Lộc losing 143 killed while killing only one U.S.

From 12 May to 6 June 1968 the Division's 141st and 165th Regiments fought 1st Australian Task Force units in the Battle of Coral–Balmoral losing 267 killed and 11 captured for Australian losses of 25 killed.

In mid-March 1969 the Division was operating in the Michelin Rubber Plantation where it came under attack from the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Operation Atlas Wedge losing 335 killed for U.S. losses of seven killed.

In March 1970 the 209th Regiment engaged the U.S. 2nd Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment near Lộc Ninh, U.S. units claimed a body count of over 200 killed.

By 1971 the Division was operating in Cambodia and PAVN command formed the Corps-sized Group 301 comprising the Division and the 5th and 9th Divisions, the 28th Artillery Regiment and the 12th Anti-aircraft Machine Gun Battalion.

During the Battle of An Lộc, on 12 April 1972 a relief force of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) 32nd Regiment, 21st Division departed Lai Khê to reopen Route 13 to Chơn Thành Camp 30 km south of An Lộc. After making slow progress, on 22 April the 32nd Regiment encountered a roadblock of the PAVN 101st Regiment 15 km north of Lai Khê. From 24 April the 21st Division engaged the PAVN in a two-pronged attack to clear the road with the 32nd Regiment attacking from the north and the 33rd Regiment attacking from the south. These attacks eventually forced the 101st Regiment to withdraw west on 27 April leaving one battalion to cover the withdrawal for a further 2 days. The 31st Regiment was then lifted by helicopters 6 km north of Chơn Thành where it fought the Division's 165th Regiment, later reinforced by the 209th Regiment, for the next 13 days. Eventually on 13 May with intensive air support the 31st Regiment overran the PAVN positions and extended ARVN control to 8 km north of Chơn Thành. The 32nd Regiment then deployed into the Tau O area a further 5 km north where they ran into the 209th Regiment's well-prepared blocking positions which stopped the 21st Division's advance for 38 days despite extensive artillery and air support including B-52 strikes. This stalemate would continue until the PAVN withdrew from An Lộc. On 15 May 1972 an ARVN task force of the 15th Regiment, 9th Division which was redeployed from the Mekong Delta and the 9th Armored Cavalry Squadron moved north east of Route 13 bypassing the 209th Regiment's roadblock at Tau O to establish a fire support base at Tan Khai 10 km south of An Lộc. On 20 May the 141st Regiment attacked the base at Tan Khai and continued attacking unsuccessfully for 3 days against a determined defense before withdrawing.

From June to November 1974 the Division's 141st Regiment fought the ARVN in the Battle of the Iron Triangle.

On 20 July 1974, the High Command of the PAVN created the 4th Army Corps with Major General Hoang Cam appointed as its first commander. The 4th Army Corps comprised the 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions, the 429th Special Forces Regiment, the 25th Engineers Regiment, the 210th and 235th Logistical Groups and the Viet Cong 9th Division.

On 12 December 1974 the 4th Corps launched their assault on Phước Long. On 13 December the 7th and 3rd Divisions attacked ARVN positions at Bố Đức and Duc Phong overrunning them the next day. On 26 December Regiment 141 attacked the ARVN base at Đôn Luân overrunning it within 5 hours. On 31 December the 4th Corps had surrounded Phước Long and began their assault on the city and by the evening of 5 January 1975 Phước Long had fallen. The battle was a turning point in the war because it showed that the United States was no longer prepared to intervene militarily to save South Vietnam and that the ARVN was overstretched with limited ability to respond forcefully to PAVN offensive action.

For the 1975 Spring Offensive, in March the 4th Corps attacked ARVN installations in Tây Ninh Province and Bình Dương Province. On 11 March the 4th Corps attacked Dầu Tiếng taking it within 2 days they then proceeded to attack other ARVN units and by 2 April controlled all of Bình Long Province. The 4th Corps then began to approach Xuân Lộc part of the last defensive line before Saigon from the northeast. Two regiments from the 7th supported the main assault by the 341st Division. The ARVN 18th Division withstood the initial attacks and on 12 April were reinforced by men of the elite 1st Airborne Brigade and Vietnamese Marines. By 16 April the battle was turning in favour of the PAVN and on 19 April the ARVN General Staff ordered the units defending Xuân Lộc to withdraw to defend Biên Hòa. The 4th Corps pushed on towards Biên Hòa and at 5pm on 26 April they attacked Bien Hoa Air Base and Long Binh Post. By the morning of April 28 troops from the 4th Corps overran ARVN positions at the eastern end of the Newport Bridge.

Present day
Today the division is part of the 4th Corps (Vietnam People's Army).

title: Scopoli's shearwater

text:
Scopoli's shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) is a seabird in the petrel family Procellariidae. It breeds on rocky islands and on steep coasts in the Mediterranean but outside the breeding season it forages in the Atlantic. It is brownish grey above with darker wings and mostly white below. The bill is pale yellow with a dark patch near the tip. The sexes are alike. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with Cory's shearwater.

Taxonomy

Scopoli's shearwater was formally described in 1769 by the Austrian naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli. He placed it with the other petrels in the genus Procellaria and coined the binomial name Procellaria diomedea. Scopoli did not mention a type locality but this was designated in 1946 by the British Ornithologists' Union as the Tremiti Islands in the Adriatic. Scopoli's shearwater is now placed in the genus Calonectris that was introduced in 1915 by the ornithologists Gregory Mathews and Tom Iredale. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek kalos meaning "good" or "noble" with the genus name Nectris that was used for shearwaters by the German naturalist Heinrich Kuhl in 1820. The name Nectris comes from the Ancient Greek nēktris meaning "swimmer". The specific epithet diomedea refers to Diomedes, a hero in Greek mythology. His wife was serially unfaithful while he fought at Troy, so he left to found a city in Italy. After his death, his distraught friends were turned into white seabirds. The species is considered to be monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.

Scopoli's shearwater and Cory's shearwater were previously considered as conspecific. They formed the Cory's shearwater complex (Calonectris diomedea). Based on the lack of hybridization and differences in mitochondrial DNA, morphology and vocalization, the complex was split into two separate species. The English name "Cory's shearwater" was transferred to Calonectris borealis while what was previously the nominate subspecies became Scopoli's shearwater (Calonectris diomedea).

Although most ornithological authorities treat Cory's shearwater and Scopoli's shearwater as separate species, the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology has chosen not to do so in their updates to The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World.

Description
Scopoli's shearwater is  in overall length with a wingspan of . The upperparts are brownish-grey with most feathers fringed with a lighter brown. The wings are a darker brown. The upper tail-coverts are tipped whitish and the tail is dark brown. The underparts are mostly white with a brown border which is most prominent of the trailing edge of the wing. The bill is pale yellow with a dark patch near the tip. The legs and feet are a pale flesh colour. The sexes are similar in appearance but the male is on average slightly larger than the female.

The appearance is very similar to Cory's shearwater and the two species can be difficult to distinguish. The underside of the wing of Scopoli's shearwater has more white on the  feathers at the wingtip, in particular the outermost large feather (P10). The Cape Verde shearwater is smaller and is significantly darker above.

Distribution and habitat

Scopoli's shearwater breeds on islands in the Mediterranean from the Chafarinas Islands off the Moroccan coast in the west to the Dodecanese near Turkey in the east. The largest colony is on the rocky island of Zembra,  off the Tunisian coast. The colony contains between 141,000 and 223,000 breeding pairs which represents more than 75 percent of the global population. Other large colonies are on the island of Linosa in the Strait of Sicily, and on the Balearic Islands.

At the end of October, after the breeding season, Scopoli's shearwaters migrate to the Atlantic and stream out of the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar. They return to the Mediterranean at the end of February. Studies using light level geolocators have found that birds tagged either on the island of Linosa or on the Pantaleu islet in the Balearic Islands wintered in regions associated with major upwellings in the south east Atlantic. The birds either foraged off the coast of West Africa in the upwelling associated with the Canary Current or continued further south and foraged in the Benguela Current off the coast of Namibia.

Food and feeding
Scopoli's shearwater mainly feeds on small fish, but it also consumes cephalopods and crustacean. It feeds by skimming over the surface or by surface feeding but only rarely plunges completely beneath the surface. Sometimes it will follows whales and tuna to pick up food scraps and to catch small fish driven to the surface. It will also scavenge discards from fishing vessels.

Neris struck out two on July 3 in a 4–2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in which Astros pitchers struck out 20 batters to establish a franchise record in a nine inning contest.  Contributing were starter Framber Valdez (first six innings), Neris (7th), Rafael Montero (8th) and Pressly (9th).

Neris earned his second save of the season on August 12, 2022, by throwing a scoreless ninth in a 7–5 win over the Oakland Athletics.  On September 19, Neris closed out the final inning of a 4–0 defeat of the Tampa Bay Rays and clinch a fifth American League West division title for the Astros over the previous six seasons.   On October 4, 2022, Neris made his first career appearance versus the Phillies and induced two perfect outs in an on-going no-hitter that Houston pitching maintained until the ninth inning.

For the 2022 regular season, Neris made 70 appearances, ranking fifth in the AL among pitchers, and had 25 holds, which tied for third and led the Astros.  He produced a 3.72 ERA, 6–4 W–L, three saves, 2.35 Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP), 79 strikeouts, 17 bases on balls, and three home runs allowed over  IP for ratios of 10.9 strikeouts per nine innings pitched (K/9), 4.65 strikeouts to walks (K/BB), and 0.4 home runs per nine innings (HR/9).

In his first career postseason appearance, Neris induced a two-out, bases-loaded groundout from Cal Raleigh in the sixth inning in Game 2 of the American League Division Series {ALDS} versus the Seattle Mariners, and was the winning pitcher.  He allowed a go-ahead home run in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) versus the Yankees, but the Astros rallied the following inning to win the game, making him the pitcher of note as the Astros won the pennant in four games.  The Astros again faced the Phillies in the World Series and defeated them in six games to give Neris his first World Series title, and he pitched a scoreless seventh inning in the Game 6 clincher.  He went 2–0 in the postseason, allowing two hits and one run over eight appearances and six innings (1.50 ERA).  He struck out nine, allowed no walks, and this performance netted a 9.9% championship win probability added (cWPA).

Pitching style
As of 2022, the right-hander Neris relies on four pitches in his pitching repertoire, a four-seam fastball averaging 94 miles per hour, a sinker averaging near 95 miles per hour, a splitter averaging 84 miles per hour, and a slider averaging about 88 miles per hour. Neris exclusively relies on throwing his split-fingered fastball to get outs, utilizing it at higher percentage than his four-seam fastball and sinker at 40.6% in the 2021 season and throwing it a career high 65.3% in 2019 which lead to him collecting a career high 28 saves with 57 strikeouts on his splitter alone in 2019. Neris utilizes the splitter especially for swinging strikeouts, since splitters appear to have a typical fastball movement until it drops suddenly as it comes to the plate. This resulted in Neris collecting a 45% whiff percentage on his splitter in the 2021 season. Neris throws his slider the least out of his four pitches, never throwing it for more than 17 percent of all his pitches in every season he utilized it since 2015.

Neris pitches from the set position, starting his delivery after receiving the pitch call by tucking the baseball behind his glove near his hip similarly to former Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, adding deception. Neris is a very expressive player on the mound, as he often celebrates after getting important outs especially clutch strikeouts on hitters late in games and getting the final out to collect saves. Neris once after getting Justin Turner out on a flyout to collect a save against the Dodgers in 2019, he reportedly shouted expletives towards the Dodgers' dugout while celebrating which Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts stated "To look in our dugout and to taunt in any way, I think it’s unacceptable..."

title: Bananasaurus Rex

text:
Aaron James Loder, professionally known as Bananasaurus Rex, is a Twitch streamer and a video game speedrunner.

Loder was the first to successfully perform a solo eggplant run in Derek Yu's roguelike platformer Spelunky. An eggplant run is a very luck-based and challenging endeavor originally meant for co-op play only. It was thought impossible to do solo.

Loder started his speedrunning career with Portal 2. He was able to simultaneously hold world records for 48 of the 51 levels at once. Since summer 2013, Loder has been streaming regularly on Twitch. At first, he mainly streamed speedruns of Spelunky, though after building up a large enough fan base to obtain a Twitch partnership, he was able to quit his main job and continue livestreaming on a full-time basis. He found his niche as a variety streamer, streaming a wide range of games ranging from indie to triple A.

Besides Portal 2, Loder has also done speedruns of Dustforce, Paranautical Activity, Risk of Rain, Spelunky, Dark Souls II, 1001 Spikes and Wings of Vi. He has held speedrunning world records in all of these games.

In September 2015, he became the first person to beat PangaeaPanga's infamously difficult Super Mario Maker level "Bomb Voyage", succeeding after a collective effort of over 11,000 failed attempts.

title: Jock Watson

text:
John Watson (28 November 1883 – 6 May 1946) was a Scottish professional footballer who made over 160 appearances as a full back in the Southern League for Brentford. He also played in the Football League for Newcastle United and Leeds City.

Playing career
A full back, Watson began his career in his native Scotland at Scottish League Division Two club Clyde. He earned a £200 move to English First Division club Newcastle United in October 1902. Watson managed only three league appearances before joining Southern League First Division club New Brompton. Watson joined fellow Southern League First Division club Brentford in 1903 and made 168 appearances in a five-year spell with the club.

Along with Brentford teammates Jock Hamilton, Tom McAllister and Adam Bowman, Watson returned to the Football League to join Second Division club Leeds City in May 1908. He immediately became a fixture in the first team, being named captain, forming a full back-partnership with Jack White and making 32 appearances during the 1908–09 season. Watson began the 1909–10 season as an ever-present, but lost his place in the team and departed the club in 1910. Watson made 49 appearances for Leeds City and ended his career with a second spell at Clyde.

Representative career
While in his first spell with Clyde, Watson appeared for a Glasgow Select XI against Sheffield.

Personal life
After his retirement from football, Watson returned to Brentford and was the landlord of the New Inn (one of four pubs situated at the corners of Griffin Park) from July 1910 until his death in May 1946. Watson's son (also nicknamed "Jock") became a footballer and played for Ealing, Windsor and Slough in the 1930s and captained the latter club.

title: Hakea cucullata

text:
Hakea cucullata, commonly known as hood-leaved hakea, cup hakea or  scallop hakea, is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an attractive shrub with distinctive foliage and beautiful large pink, red, or deep purple scented flowers.

Description
Hakea cucullata is an erect shrub growing to a height of  with few branches. The young branches are densely covered with short hairs and the flowering stems have dark brown hairs. The leathery leaves are broad egg-shaped  long and  wide. Often with wavy or finely toothed margins and a prominent mid-vein ending in a point at the apex. The leaves are pale green in colour, more or less overlap, distinctly cupped around the stem, flowers and fruit. The inflorescence consists of 25 to 30 deep pink flowers appearing in the leaf axils or at leafless nodes on bright pink stalks  long. The perianth is deep pink at the base paler toward the tip. The pedicels are  long and smooth. The style is smooth, straight and  long. Flowering mainly occurs from August to October.  The woody  egg-shaped fruit are  long and  wide in  groups of 1-5 in leaf axils.

Taxonomy and naming
Hakea cucullata was first described by Robert Brown in 1830 from a specimen collected by William Baxter in 1824 and the description was published in Supplementum primum Prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae. The specific epithet (cucullata) is derived from the  Latin word cucullatus meaning "hooded".

Distribution and habitat
Hood-leaved hakea is found in the Stirling Range, south-western Western Australia, east to the Whoogarup Range in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions where it grows in sandy mallee heath  and occasionally in gravelly lateritic soils.

Conservation
Hakea cucullata  is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.

Use in horticulture
Scallop hakea is reasonably hardy as a garden plant and has been grown successfully on Kangaroo Island. It is easily propagated from seed and has been successfully grafted onto Hakea salicifolia root stock.
