title: Ronn Tomassoni

text:
Ronn Tomassoni (born March 1958) is a retired American ice hockey player and coach. Tomassoni was part of the coaching staff at Harvard for 17 years in various capacities and helped the team with its only national title in 1989.

Career
Ronn Tomassoni played for Rensselaer in the late 1970s, posting average numbers over four seasons. After graduating in 1980 Tomassoni continued his involvement with hockey by becoming an assistant coach for Bill Cleary at Harvard in 1982. Tomassoni's arrival coincided with the Crimson's return to prominence as they began to make the NCAA Tournament annually. As time went on Cleary began to rely on Tomassoni more heavily, promoting him to associate status and effectively turning over the recruiting responsibilities to him. Tomassoni was part of Harvard's national title team in 1989 and was named as head coach when Cleary became athletic director after the 1989-90 season.

The early years under Tomassoni were very good in Cambridge as Harvard won three consecutive regular season titles, an ECAC title and made it to the 1994 Frozen Four. After 1994, however, Tomassoni could not get Harvard to produce a winning season.  He shared Bill Cleary's disdain for developing NHL players, a fact which cost the Crimson many elite recruits, such as Chris Drury.  Tomassoni exalted "poise" in players on opposing teams, even as he made his own players walk on eggshells.  He went so far as to place a 1st team All-American on the 4th line in 1995.  The extent of his coaching was to demoralize many of his players, and shuffle lines.  In general, his players hated playing for him.  During his tenure, "Harvard hockey" felt like it was a bunch of chickens running around at full speed with their heads cut off.  He did little to develop any player who went there with the exception of one player from British Columbia who went on to be mediocre in the East Coast Hockey League. He even seemed to celebrate little failures of the players he did not like, and would use those failures, even if minor, to justify their lack of opportunity. It is inconceivable that this man actually coached hockey at the college level.  See the notated stories below: he got the job through a phone call alone.  He had a number of potential weapons in his toolshed; however, he simply did not coach players at all.  He strategized poorly. He did not coach. Players got worse by coming to Harvard.  They continued to come for the school, and in spite of him, which is a tragedy, and has to be considered the fault of Bill Cleary who allowed him the job.   Since Cleary was athletic director, Tomassoni held onto the job for five seasons before "deciding to resign" after the 1998–99 season. Tomassoni returned to his native Minnesota afterwards, settling in Duluth.

title: Fore Street, London

text:
Fore Street is a street in the City of London, England, near the Barbican Centre. It runs from Wood Street to Fore Street Avenue and is joined by Moor Lane on its north side. The street was extensively damaged by Nazi bombing during World War II and, following later development, nothing now remains of its original buildings other than St Giles-without-Cripplegate, which is a short distance away from the modern street.

History
Fore Street was created outside (before) the London city walls, and thereby got its name. In 1654, a postern gate was built at the northern end of Aldermanbury or the larger Cripplegate and Fore Street soon became an important shopping street until the middle of the nineteenth century.

In the nineteenth century Joseph Todd established his drapery business in Fore Street. James Morrison, who subsequently became a millionaire and MP started work for Todd and married his daughter. The firm became known as Morrison, Dillon & Co, and later was converted into the Fore Street Limited Liability Company.

Before bombing during the Second World War, the street extended from Redcross Street to Finsbury Pavement.

Fore Street, on 25 August 1940, was the first place in the City of London to be hit by a German bomb during the Second World War, just before the start of the London Blitz proper. A plaque in the wall of Roman House, on the corner with Wood Street, marks the spot.

Up to the 1970s a Post Office telephone exchange stood between Moor Lane and Fore Street Avenue with a Post Office on the corner between Fore Street and Fore Street Avenue.

Buildings
St Giles-without-Cripplegate, a Church of England church, is located in Fore Street. When built in the 11th century it stood without (that is, outside) the city wall, near the Cripplegate. The church is dedicated to St Giles, patron saint of beggars and cripples. It is one of the few medieval churches left in the City of London, having survived the Great Fire of 1666, but it has been extensively altered and rebuilt over the years and was badly damaged by bombing during the Second World War. Oliver Cromwell married Elizabeth Bourchier there in 1620. Martin Frobisher, John Speed and John Milton were all buried there.

Salters' Hall, home of the Worshipful Company of Salters, is at 4 Fore Street. The present building, opened in 1976, was originally designed by architect Basil Spence.

Inhabitants
Novelist Daniel Defoe was born in Fore Street in around 1660. The exact date and house are not known. His father, James Foe, was a prosperous tallow chandler and a member of the Butchers' Company.

In 1850, Ebenezer Howard, originator of the garden city movement and the son of a confectioner, was born in the street.

title: Aaron Fechter

text:
Aaron Fechter (born December 21, 1953) is an American engineering entrepreneur, voice actor, singer and musician who owns and operates Creative Engineering, Inc. (CEI). He is best known as the creator of , an animatronic show featuring a variety of characters created for Showbiz Pizza Place restaurants throughout the 1980s. A dispute with Showbiz along with the chain's dwindling revenue led to the show's decline and eventual removal. CEI developed other products and concepts since its founding, but they failed to gain commercial interest. Fechter also claims to have been instrumental in the early development of the Whac-A-Mole arcade game from Bandai, which became popular in the late 1970s, but his involvement has been met with some skepticism from other individuals and businesses involved in its conception, and has since became a subject of debate.

Early life and career
Aaron Fechter graduated from Edgewater High School in Orlando, Florida. In 1973, he graduated from college at the age of 19. The United States was in the midst of an energy crisis, and Fechter decided to build a fuel-efficient, small car prototype in hopes of eventually manufacturing the vehicle under a new car company. He founded Creative Engineering Incorporated (CEI) in 1975 for that purpose, but in order to raise money for the project, he resorted to selling smaller inventions door-to-door, such as his "Leaf Eater" contraption that collected leaves from swimming pools. Fechter knocked on the door of an individual who solicited his help in designing an electronic control system for a shooting gallery, designed for sale to amusement parks. The gallery featured an animatronic horse, and his success led to other offers in the animatronic industry, which became the central focus for Creative Engineering.

Fechter's father was an early investor in CEI, helping it enter the animatronic industry. Early projects included The Scab, a single talking head, Willie Wabbit, an anthropomorphic rabbit, and a fortune-telling machine called Lazlo The Great. By 1978, Fechter had finished work on the "Wolf Pack 5", his first animatronic series featuring multiple characters including The Wolfman, Fats, Dingo Starr, Beach Bear, and Queenie the Fox (later changed to a mouse and renamed Mitzi Mozzarella). It was showcased and deemed a success at the 1978 IAAPA show. He completed work on another animatronic show called "The Hard Luck Bears", featuring a hillbilly band of bears and a mimicking bird, which debuted at the IAAPA in 1979.

Fechter combined elements from both shows to form "The Rock-afire Explosion", which debuted at the IAAPA in 1980 with improved animation and other changes. The Rock-afire Explosion concept was ultimately selected by Showbiz for inclusion in its family entertainment pizza chain.

Showbiz Pizza Place
In 1980, Robert L. Brock opened the first ShowBiz Pizza Place restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri, featuring Creative Engineering's Wolf Pack 5 display. Although ShowBiz wanted the "Rock-afire Explosion" (RAE) concept, RAE was still in the final stages of development when the first store opened. The pizza chain also featured other amenities including an arcade and restaurant tailored to accommodate both children and adults. Brock owned an extensive chain of Holiday Inn hotels, considered the largest of its kind at the time. He originally partnered with Pizza Time Theatre but backed out after discovering Aaron Fechter's work. CEI was given a 20-percent ownership stake in the chain and retained all rights to characters, animation, and show development. Queenie the Fox was converted into a mouse and became briefly known as Mini Mozzarella at the first location. Her name was changed a final time to Mitzi Mozzarella as ShowBiz expanded and utilized RAE in future locations.

Concept unification
Following financial troubles in the mid-1980s, Showbiz explored the possibility of reverse-engineering RAE and producing their own shows. This led to a feud over rights with CEI that lasted for several years. Showbiz eventually stripped RAE of existing cosmetics, including facial and body features, and replaced them with Chuck E. Cheese (CEC) characters, the rights to which Showbiz had  obtained in its purchase of the bankrupt CEC franchise. The transition began in 1990 under the label "Concept Unification", which involved the renaming of all Showbiz locations to Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza. A new show called "Munch's Make Believe Band" was installed in various locations. Showbiz and CEI eventually agreed on allowed CEI to license the RAE band and characters to other businesses, but the presence of CEI's animatronics within Showbiz-owned restaurants was retired by the mid-1990s.

Post Showbiz era

During CEI's involvement with Showbiz, the company pursued other interests outside of the restaurant industry. They explored the production of toys, including Billy Bob, Fatz, and Mitzi animatronic dolls that had the ability to play pre-recorded showtapes, narrate fairytales, and connect to an Apple computer for custom programmability.

CEI invested $1.5 million in research and development of a secure messaging device called the Anti-Gravity Freedom Machine, capable of sending electronic messages over a phone line. By 1998, however, web-based email had gained traction, and the project went unreleased.

In 1996, animation from the New RAE was used in a karaoke game shown at the IAAPA. In 1997, Looney Bird's was a new restaurant that housed the classic RAE, but one Looney Bird's Markets used "The New Rock-Afire Explosion" show. As with The New Rock-Afire, "Marvelously Electronic Animation" debuted as a karaoke, trivia and video recording area that features a NRAE Looney Bird Robot that is controlled with The Anti-Gravity Freedom Machine. In 2000, CEI developed The Mezmerizer, an arcade game licensed for manufacture to ICE that evolved into their Wheel of Fortune game. The Starlauncher, developed in 2003 as "an American Idol kiosk," was never publicly released.

Carbohydrillium project
In 2010, research began on an alternative cooking fuel derived from graphite and water called Carbohydrillium, billed as safer and less polluting than propane. On September 26, 2013, catastrophic failure of high-pressure carbon steel canisters lead to an explosion at a Creative Engineering warehouse in Orlando. Investigation revealed that Richardson had experienced a similar explosion in 2001 while working on an earlier incarnation of the product he called Aqualux.

In media and pop culture
Interest in The Rock-Afire Explosion surged in 2005 with the release of several YouTube videos, such as "Ms. New Booty" by Chris Thrash, in which a fan recreated several new RAE animations depicting modern musical themes. The efforts were displayed in the 2008 The Rock-afire Explosion Documentary.

Creative Engineering continued to sell Rock-afire merchandise online over the years. In 2014, indie game developer Scott Cawthon released Five Nights at Freddy's, featuring a family restaurant setting inspired in part by Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz Pizza Place. In the game, a single player tries to evade possessed animatronics.

In 2015, CEI released an arcade game to the IAAPA convention called Bashy Bug (stylized as BASHyBUG) that revolves around a flipflop shoe used by the player to stomp on a bug in a timed skill scenario with multiple levels of difficulty.

In the 2016 film Keanu, by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, a cat named Keanu jumps through the window of a fictional, abandoned building that used to manufacture animatronics. CEI characters such as Beach Bear, Billy Bob, and Fatz appear in the background.

Its primary area of operation covers a sizeable part of the eastern segment of the Irish Sea from Douglas, Isle of Man; to Liverpool Bay, North Wales and Anglesey, the Fylde and Cumbrian coasts, the Solway Firth and southwest Scotland.

Formely Captain Carter was the senior pilot for the Port of Douglas before his retirement in July, 2023. His final duty in post involved his piloting the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's new-build Ro-pax ferry Manxman into Douglas upon her arrival following her voyage from the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, Ulsan, South Korea.

History
The Laxey Towing Company has its origins in the late 1970s and initially was involved with light marine work with its original tug Sunrush, as well as providing angling services with its utility boat, the twin-screwed Hopeful Lad.

The company's most challenging operation in its early years centered on the Manx Line linkspan which broke away from its moorings during a severe easterly storm in December 1978. The linkspan was adrift in the outer harbour during the course of which it caused considerable damage to the Victoria Pier. The operation to make the situation safe involved the Sunrush, which was on station for a considerable period whilst attempts were made to secure the linkspan, which at one stage was in danger of coming into contact with the Douglas Sea Terminal. Finally the linkspan was secured, and was then taken into the sheltered inner harbour thus preventing any further damage from occurring.

Subsequently the linkspan was taken under tow by a tug from United Towing in order for repairs to be carried out. Once the linkspan was repaired it was reattached to its mooring position at the No. 1 Berth in Douglas Harbour.

By this time it was widely accepted that the operations in the Port of Douglas were severely affected during periods of strong easterly wind, and work began on a new breakwater to afford greater shelter to the port in 1980.
The Laxey Towing Company were to be heavily involved in the course of construction, servicing the construction barges and assisting with the deepening of the approach channel.

It was generally accepted that the Sunrush was becoming obsolete, and so the fleet was augmented by the more suitable Union, with the two vessels working in unison. It was the situation however that the Sunrush required replacement, and was subsequently sold with the larger tug Salisbury being introduced as a replacement circa 1982.
As part of the breakwater construction another tug, Cabot, was chartered, however that vessel's suitability for the operation appeared open to question.

It was during 1982 that the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company withdrew its last passenger steamer Manxman, which had used assistance from both Laxey Towing Company tugs during the course of berthing at Douglas. On her final departure from her home port on the evening of 4 September 1982, Manxman, was given a "guard of honour" by the company tugs as well as receiving rousing salutes from both vessels.

It was also during the early part of the 1980s that the Laxey Towing Company expanded its sea-going cargo services, operating from numerous ports around the northern area of the Irish Sea to Douglas and Castletown. Larger sea-going barges were acquired which were also able to use the shallow water port of Castletown, a fact which was very much to the advantage of coal merchants GMS Fuels which found the service of great use in supplying their Douglas and Balthane depots.

This period also saw Captain Carter invest in road-going heavy haulage vehicles, which were operated under the trading name S.P. Carter, Baldrine. These vehicles included a Scammell heavy transporter, an AEC Matador as well as a traction engine. Also at this time a new company was formed; Bulk Cargo Services, with the intention of providing comprehensive stevedore services.

In April 1985, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company acquired a new vessel, the highly unsuitable Mona's Isle which it employed on its Douglas - Heysham schedule.
The Mona's Isle encountered significant trouble berthing at Douglas, and so again the tugs of the Laxey Towing Company were called upon to render assistance with both the Union and Salisbury involved in the operation.
Subsequently after only six months in operation, Mona's Isle was withdrawn from service in October 1985.

Later that year, in November 1985, the coaster Sulby River ran aground in Ramsey Bay after departing the port. The Laxey Towing Company successfully salvaged the vessel after she had lain aground for several days.

As the decade continued shipments of coal to the Isle of Man began to decline, and a period of consolidation was undertaken by the company during which more specialised tasks were pursued as the Laxey Towing Company sought to establish itself in niche related markets, and into the 1990s this diversification continued.

Until 1994, the operation of the Douglas pilot launch had been the responsibility of General Marine Services Ltd, a company which had worked closely with the Laxey Towing Company on numerous collaborations over a period of many years.

Coupled to the Douglas operation, it is often the case that during periods of strong northwesterly wind, operations into and out of the Port of Liverpool are prone to difficulty, with the transferring of pilots between vessels proving particularly hazardous. It is during such periods that it is routine for the Liverpool Pilots to be boarded at the pilot station off Douglas Head, and again this operation was undertaken by General Marine Services with the pilot boat Girl Mary.

At this time General Marine Services underwent a period of restructuring, the consequence of which was the pursuit of a more core related business.
As a result of this, pilotage services into and out of the Port of Douglas, coupled with the Liverpool Pilot operation were subsequently undertaken by the Laxey Towing Company together with the ship berthing services which had also been operated by General Marine Services, and part of this included the acquisition of the Girl Mary.

Current operation

The Laxey Towing Company still provides pilotage services to the Port of Douglas and on occasion the Port of Liverpool.

Allied to this, the company still undertakes a wide and varied operation ranging from harbour maintenance in the form of dredging to offering tender services to the numerous cruise liners which now visit Douglas.

Historic operations

MV Karina

In 2001 the Laxey Towing Company set about re-establishing a service predominately aimed towards tourists to the Isle of Man, with the re-introduction of coastal cruises during the summer visiting season.
Captain Carter was no stranger to this service, being part of a generation of experienced Douglas boat operators.
Captain Carter undertook the service personally, sharing his wealth of local knowledge during the course of the cruise. The re-introduction of this part of the Manx Tourist Industry proved popular with visitors and locals alike. The end of the 2017 tourist season saw the termination of the service, and the Karina was subsequently sold to an operator in The Gambia.

Solway Harvester

Following the subsequent raising of the Scottish scallop dredger the Solway Harvester, the vessel lay tied up at Douglas Harbour during a protracted and laborious legal wrangle. Finally in November 2013 work began on scrapping the vessel, with the work undertaken by the Laxey Towing Company. A somewhat fraught operation followed, however work was completed in January 2014, 14 years after the vessel foundered.

title: The Pyramid (film)

text:
The Pyramid is a 2014 American found footage supernatural horror film directed by Grégory Levasseur, in his directorial debut, produced by Alexandre Aja, and distributed by 20th Century Fox. The plot follows an archaeological team attempting to unlock the secrets of a lost pyramid only to find themselves hunted by an insidious creature. The film stars Ashley Hinshaw, Denis O'Hare, James Buckley and Daniel Amerman. The Pyramid was released on December 5, 2014, and was negatively received by critics.

Plot
In Egypt, a three-sided pyramid is discovered buried beneath the desert surface by an archaeological team led by Dr. Miles Holden. After a remote-controlled rover vehicle sent to map the interior goes offline the team enters the pyramid to recover it. They soon become lost and enter a room with an unstable floor that collapses beneath them, injuring Zahir whose leg is crushed and pinned beneath debris. Sunni attempts to climb back up but is attacked by an emaciated feline creature and forced to retreat. The team leaves Zahir to look for a way out. Moments later, Zahir's screams are heard - the team return to find only his severed leg left pinned under the rock.

Chased through a tunnel by a pack of the creatures, they are rescued by an Egyptian soldier who is then killed by a larger creature. The team comes upon a carved mural that depicts passages from the Book of the Dead and its guide to immortality – Anubis's weighing of the heart for access into the afterlife. Sunni falls into a pit and is impaled on several spikes before she is set upon by the creatures. The team try to rescue her but she succumbs to her injuries and they are forced to retreat.

The team finds a burial chamber which contains the corpse of a 19th Century explorer along with his journal detailing a possible escape route. As Holden examines the map a clawed hand stabs through his chest, tearing out his heart. His daughter Nora and cameraman Fitzie flee, but after realizing they're trapped, they return to find Holden still alive tied to a large scale. The large creature re-enters the room and Nora identifies it as the Egyptian god Anubis, who weighs Holden's heart to determine his worthiness to enter the afterlife. He dies when Anubis eats his heart.

After Anubis leaves, Nora and Fitzie decipher hieroglyphs in the chamber that indicate the pyramid was constructed to imprison Anubis, who is seeking to reunite with his creator, Osiris. They find an air shaft with a ladder left behind by the soldier, but are pursued by Anubis, who kills Fitzie. Now alone, Nora is captured by Anubis. Tied to an obelisk, she uses a blade hidden in her hand to cut through her bonds. Once free, she wounds Anubis, who is then attacked by a horde of the cats. Nora climbs her way to freedom and collapses just before clearing the pyramid's exit. She awakens to find a child playing with her camera. Anubis suddenly appears from the dark and lunges at them as the screen cuts to black.

Production

Release
On July 7, 2014, 20th Century Fox picked up the distribution rights to the film, and was set for a release date for December 5, 2014. It was then released on DVD and Blu-ray on May 5, 2015, as well on video on demand on April 17, 2015.

Box office
North America
Released on December 5, 2014, in 589 theatres, the film underperformed, earning only $1.3 million. Although investors originally expected the film to make more than $20 million domestically, it made less than $2.8 million.

Other territories
Outside North America, the film was released on the same day in 18 markets including the U.K., Russia and Vietnam. It earned $14.1 million internationally.

Reception

The Pyramid was panned by critics, with Moviefone and CraveOnline both naming it one of the worst films of 2014. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 13%, based on 45 reviews, with an average rating of 3/10. The site's consensus reads "Poorly lit and thinly writ, The Pyramid houses little more than clunky dialogue, amateurish acting, and dusty found-footage scares." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 24 out of 100 based on 16 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".

Lelsie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter called it "a stinker in every sense." Drew Taylor of The Playlist wrote, "The Pyramid is cursed. Only, instead of an ancient evil, it's just plagued by inept filmmaking." Alonso Duralde of The Wrap said, "The ultimate moral of The Pyramid, and of almost every other film where an underground mummy or scarab or tomb wreaks havoc, is that some things were never meant to be uncovered. Some movies, too."

title: Adrian Coughlan

text:
Adrian Coughlan (born 15 May 1978) is an Irish hurler who played as a right wing-forward for the Cork senior team.

Born in Blackrock, Coughlan first played competitive hurling whilst at school at the North Monastery. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team. He joined the senior panel during the 2003 championship. Coughlan went on to win one Munster medal as a non-playing substitute. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion also as a non-playing substitute.

At club level he is a three-time championship medallist with Blackrock.

Coughlan left the Cork panel after the 2004 National Hurling League.

Playing career

College

In 1994 Coughlan was a key member of the half-forward line as the North Monastery faced Midleton CBS Secondary School in the Munster colleges decider. The Mon powered to a 1-9 to 0-4 victory and the Harty Cup title. St. Mary's College provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland final, however, a 1-10 to 1-6 victory for the North Mon gave Coughlan an All-Ireland medal.

Club

In 1999 Coughlan lined out against University College Cork in his first senior championship decider. A 3-17 to 0-8 trouncing gave him his first championship medal.

Blackrock surrendered their crown the following year, however, Coughlan was back in the decider again in 2001. Imokilly were the opponents, however, a remarkable scoring spree by Alan Browne, who captured 3-8, helped the Rockies to a 4-8 to 2-7 victory. It was Coughlan's second championship medal.

In 2002 Blackrock had the chance to retain their title when they faced Newtownshandrum in the decider. The Rockies looked more probable winners from the time Alan Browne goaled just before half time, however, some bad finishing left them unnecessarily vulnerable. The goal proved key as Blackrock claimed a 1-14 to 0-12 victory and Coughlan collected a third championship medal.

Inter-county

Coughlan first played for Cork as a member of the minor team in 1995. He won a Munster medal that year following a 3-18 to 0-10 trouncing of Waterford. Cork later qualified for the All-Ireland final against Kilkenny with Coughlan starting the game as a substitute. The game turned into a rout as Cork won easily by 2-10 to 1-2, giving Coughlan, who came on, an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship medal.

In 2003 Coughlan was added to Cork's championship panel. He was an unused substitute throughout the entire campaign, as Cork claimed the Munster title before losing to Kilkenny by 1-14 to 1-11 in the All-Ireland decider. Deane later added a third All-Star to his collection.

Coughlan left the Cork panel after the conclusion of the National Hurling League in 2004.

title: Lachnagrostis billardierei

text:
Lachnagrostis billardierei, commonly known as coast blown-grass or sand wind grass, is a species of plant in the true grass family. The genus name means “woolly agrostis” with reference to the closely related genus Agrostis; the specific epithet billardierei honours French botanist Jacques Labillardière (1755-1834).

Description
It grows as a smooth, tufted annual or short-lived perennial grass up to about 50 cm in height. It is usually found on sandy, soils along or near the coast. It forms circular tufts of leaf blades and straw-coloured flowers. The seeds are wind-dispersed.

Distribution
Its principal area of occurrence is south-eastern Australia and New Zealand, though there are also records from the Warren IBRA bioregion of south-western Western Australia. The subspecies L. b. tenuiseta was once thought to be endemic to Tasmania (where it is commonly known as small-awned blown-grass), though it has subsequently been recorded from New Zealand.

title: Ochimusha

text:
An  means "fallen warrior" in the sense that a samurai on the defeated side has fallen out of his retinue. Such Ochimusha were often hunted after his army was defeated and cannot be protected among his men, and their mission was to make it back to their side safely.

The word comes from the greatest massacre of the defeated Heike clan samurai by the victorious Minamoto clan, the Heike no Ochudo (平家の落人) that happened right after the Genpei War in the Heian Period.

Fallen out of their retinue, ochimusha were hunted by peasants who wanted back the expensive samurai equipment paid with exorbitant peasant taxes, or take their severed heads to the opposing side after a battle, which was often encouraged with bounties. For example, in the Sengoku period, the act of hunting down ochimusha by the local peasants had been officially recognized.  In some cases some even elevated in social rank from hunting down such samurai.

A book, the Kefukigusa (1638), records the haiku 秋風に露や落武者薄のほ〈 which led to the vernacular adage, "Even crop kernels scare the Ochimusha," (落ち武者は薄の穂にも怖ず) referring to the frightened state of such samurai terrified of peasant vengeance.

Instead of only occurring during battle times, samurais and aristocrats whose support is no longer needed can also become an ochimusha, if attacked by the townspeople of the region. There are records of samurai mansions being plundered, even in the peaceful Edo Period. Such events are called uchikowashi (打ちこわし).

A criminal banished into exile is also subject to becoming an ochimusha.

In some areas of Nagano and Gifu Prefecture, ochimusha are referred to as . They also used to be called  in some parts of Kansai, but this term is no longer in use due to derogatory connotations.

Appearance
The iconography usually represents the ochimusha with the crown of his head shaved and the rest of the hair long and loose, a dissolved chonmage (topknot). The dissolved chonmage would then mean losing the social status of the samurai.
Arrows stuck in the body is also a common motif.

Modern usage
In modern times, the term is used to refer to politicians that lose an election, while the term "ochimusha hunting" is used in regard to a candidate caught cheating in an election or to corrupt politicians that have been arrested.

Sometimes, the term is also used to refer to people with a bald top head and stretched hair on the sides.

title: Wake Up to Find Out

text:
Wake Up to Find Out is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead.  It contains the complete concert recorded on March 29, 1990, at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.  It was released by Rhino Records on September 9, 2014.

At this concert, jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis sat in for one song in the first set, and then for the entire second set.  The same show was also released on the same day as part of the box set Spring 1990 (The Other One).  One of the songs from this performance, "Eyes of the World", was previously released on the album Without a Net.

Wake Up to Find Out was released as a five-disc vinyl LP on April 18, 2015, as part of Record Store Day.

Concert with Branford Marsalis
The March 29, 1990 Grateful Dead concert was the first of several to feature Branford Marsalis as a guest musician.  In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, Marsalis recalled that Dead bassist Phil Lesh had invited him to play with the band for one song.

Band reaction

Critical reception

On AllMusic, Fred Thomas said, "After they whip through a bright first set featuring mostly live staples like 'Bertha' and 'Ramble on Rose', Marsalis joins in at the start of the second set for stellar, extended takes on the more exploratory side of the Dead catalog. His airy improvisations on classics like 'Eyes of the World' and 'Dark Star' sound brilliantly natural here, and what's most palpable is the sense of exhilaration and mutual respect between these two forces of sonic trailblazing."

In Rolling Stone, David Fricke wrote, "In the spring of 1990, the Dead's last consistent season of transcendence onstage, there was no bolder display of their improvising empathy than this show at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum... An invitation to saxophonist Branford Marsalis to come jam resulted in legend, as Marsalis spent the whole second set in high, jazzy challenge and exchange with the band... In a history of hot nights, this was especially sweet fire."

Frank Morrad (28 February 1920 – 13 July 1981) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League as a forward, most notably for Leyton Orient and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Playing career
Morrad began his career as a junior with Brentford in 1936. He later moved to Athenian League club Southall and began his professional career with Third Division South club Notts County prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. During the war, Morrad guested for Arsenal, Clapton Orient and Crystal Palace, before finally making his professional debut for Notts County in 1946. He moved to fellow Third Division South club Leyton Orient, for whom he had guested during the war, in November 1946. Morrad found his form at Brisbane Road and scored 11 goals in 25 games during the second half of the 1946–47 season. Morrad departed the Os in August 1947 for Second Division club Fulham, but he failed to make an appearance for the club.

Morrad dropped to the Third Division South to join Brighton & Hove Albion in February 1948 and remained with the club until August 1951, when he rejoined hometown club Brentford. He made just six appearances for the Bees and joined Southern League club Bedford Town in 1953, for whom he made 59 appearances before retiring in 1954.

Personal life
After his retirement from football, Morrad ran a chain of betting shops in West London. In the 1960s, he employed former Brentford player Ken Coote as manager of one of the branches.

title: Luke Lindoe

text:
Luke Orton Lindoe (8 March 1913 – 4 December 2000) was a Canadian potter, painter, sculptor, and businessman who did most of his work in Alberta, Canada. For long periods he was based in Medicine Hat. He had many different jobs, from mineral prospecting, coal mining, and teaching art, to producing potting clay and manufacturing ceramic products such as ashtrays. He also had many commissions for stone or concrete murals on public buildings. During his lifetime he gained a high reputation as a mentor of ceramic artists and for his own ceramics, oil paintings, and sculptures.

Early years

Luke Orton Lindoe was born on 8 March 1913 in Bashaw, Alberta.
For the first sixteen years of his life Lindoe and his mother wandered in western Canada and the United States.
He attended twenty-eight schools, but never completed grade ten.
In 1933 Lindoe tried to start a farm to the south of Fort St. James in British Columbia. He put up buildings and bought a few animals.
After a hopeless struggle that winter, he was forced to abandon the project and sell out.

Lindoe decided that he wanted to study art. He went for help to his father, who was general manager of two mines in Coleman, Alberta. He worked as an underground coal miner while studying painting and then sculpture at the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art, now the Alberta College of Art and Design (1935–1940) in Calgary. After four years he had not completed enough hours to qualify for a diploma. He went to Toronto to study sculpture at the Ontario College of Art (OCA) while his funds lasted (1940–1941), and there became interested in ceramics.
In 1939 he became an Associate Member of the Alberta Society of Artists.
Lindoe married Vivian Lamont in 1940, a fellow student at the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art.
Their son Allan was born in 1944, and Carroll was born in 1946.

Lindoe moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta in 1941, where he worked for Medicine Hat Potteries.
He then became a production foreman at Redcliff Potteries.
In 1942 he gained a job as an assistant draftsman in Calgary with a subsidiary of Consolidated Mining and Smelting.
In 1942 Lindoe found a job as a geological surveyor for Imperial Oil, and spent three years mapping the Whitemud Formation in Cypress Hills. At the end of this period he was an expert in the local clays. During the winters he was absorbed in painting.
Lindoe developed a life-long interest in researching the properties of clay.
Virginia Christopher of Virginia Christopher Fine Art gallery in Calgary, knew Lindoe for many years. She said of his ability to find the best deposits of clay, "He had an intuition about water courses ... He understood the drift of things in the Cypress Hills, he knew where the deposits would end up."

Painter and teacher

In 1945, Lindoe threw up his job and moved to Salmon Arm, British Columbia to paint full time. He became a member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (C.S.P.W.C.) in 1946. He returned to Calgary and was an instructor at the Alberta College of Art from 1947 to 1957, where he developed the ceramics department. One of his students was Henry Bonli, who became a painter and interior designer.
Lindoe also pushed Walter Dexter into becoming a ceramic artist, and was Dexter's mentor for many years. By 1951 he had been elected Second Vice-President of the C.S.P.W.C. and also Chairman of the Alberta Society of Artists (1949-1950).

In 1952 Lindoe resigned from all exhibiting societies. He said, "I had hit the wall and had neither the wisdom nor the courage to carry on in an environment that I knew was alien to me, but it wasn’t until 1964 or ’65 that I started to get the courage to expose myself artistically again."
He and J. Sproule formed a partnership that year to develop a small pottery studio, first called Lindoe Studios and later Ceramic Arts.
Lindoe had the expertise and Sproule provided the money. The studio opened in 1954, with a  updraft kiln that Lindoe had built by hand.
It mainly produced cast pottery items, such as square ashtrays.
The partnership was not successful and broke up after two years.
Lindoe left the College of Art after a disagreement over its direction in 1957.

Businessman

Lindoe returned to Medicine Hat in 1957 to enter the brick and tile industry.
He joined the I-XL company of the Sissons brothers, which had gradually been expanding by taking over other companies.
Lindoe was hired as director of research and mining, an area where I-XL was struggling, and turned the operation around.
As a condition of employment Lindoe had a studio and then a gas kiln at the plant, where he developed his skills as a potter.
Lindoe had been hired on the basis that he understood ceramics, but in fact he was a potter and his expertise was locating clay and its properties.

In 1961 Lindoe and his first wife dissolved their marriage. In 1962 he married Gail Buckholz, a student at the Alberta College of Art.
Their son Sebit was born in 1964, and Simon in 1968.
In 1964 Lindoe left his job at I-XL Industries and used $5,000 cash and $5,000 of credit to launch Plainsman Clays, a company that would supply potter's clay to institutions.
The company began as a one-person operation, although Lindoe got some help when needed from his son and daughter.
The business grew fast, and in 1971 expanded into new premises.
Lindoe sold Plainsman Clay in 1981.

In 1979 the Luke Lindoe Library at the Alberta College of Art was named in Luke Lindoe's honor.
In 1983 he relocated to Peachland, British Columbia. Later he moved back to Medicine Hat.
Luke Orton Lindoe died in Medicine Hat on 4 December 2000 at the age of 87.

Work

Lindoe had a spare style in his paintings and ceramics.
His later paintings became increasingly simplified and abstract, reduced to basic forms with subtly shading colors.
His ceramics were also decorated with richly layered abstract patterns.
Lindoe was one of the first ceramic artists in Canada to be commissioned to make murals.
St. Mary’s Cathedral in Calgary includes Lindoe's concrete reliefs.
The outside wall of the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton has a limestone relief.
Luke Lindoe stated in March 1992,

title: Cadogan Pier

text:
Cadogan Pier is a pier on the River Thames in London, UK. It is located on the North Bank of the river, immediately next to the Albert Bridge on Cheyne Walk near Chelsea Embankment. It has been Chelsea's only river transport link for over 150 years.

History
Cadogan Pier was built in 1841 to bring potential buyers to Lord Cadogan's new estate of houses in Chelsea. It was a landmark structure and was the prime river gateway for visitors to Chelsea. The Pier was rebuilt in 1875 to accommodate Albert Bridge, London, that has been recognized as one of London's most beautiful bridges. The Pier has been used for many things of importance in its long history, most recently (February 2019) for the "Royal Jubilee Pageant."
The Pier is and will most likely forever be a London landmark and one of its kind in Chelsea.

Design
It was erected by Earl Cadogan by 1841 and designed by Nathaniel Handford. It was rebuilt around 1875 following the completion of Albert Bridge. The London County Council obtained the pier from the Thames Conservancy Board and repaired it in 1905. In 1996 it was bought by Cadogan Pier Limited from the Port of London Authority. The pier was extended in 2004 to designs by Beckett Rankine. In 2010 a boat moored there was put up for sale for £1 million.

Cadogan Pier Limited has hosted the finish line of the Doggetts Race with the Chelsea Society, returned the historical landmark 'CADOGAN PIER' sign and twin Union Jack flags, put in place a professional team to maintain the pier, and significantly improved the waiting area for the river bus. The company plans to continue investing in the pier to ensure that it becomes fully accessible to a wider group of people and better serves the local community. Without continued investment, the current pier will no longer be able to provide a landing stage for the river bus service and Chelsea could lose its only river transport link. The pier currently has poor access for disabled visitors, families with buggies and older people.

Services
The pier is served by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers' RB6 commuter service to Putney, Canary Wharf and North Greenwich, operating from Monday to Friday at peak times.

title: Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis

text:
Saint-Denis (, ) is a commune in the northern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located  from the centre of Paris. Saint-Denis is the second most populated suburb of Paris (after Boulogne-Billancourt), with a population of 113,116 at the 2020 census. It is a subprefecture () of the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, being the seat of the arrondissement of Saint-Denis. It is also part of the Métropole du Grand Paris.

Saint-Denis is home to the royal necropolis of the Basilica of Saint-Denis and was also the location of the associated abbey. It is also home to France's national football and rugby stadium, the Stade de France, built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Saint-Denis is a formerly industrial suburb currently changing its economic base. Inhabitants of Saint-Denis are called Dionysiens.

Name
Until the 3rd century, Saint-Denis was a small settlement called Catolacus or Catulliacum, probably meaning "estate of Catullius", a Gallo-Roman landowner. About 250 AD, the first bishop of Paris, Saint Denis, was martyred on Montmartre hill and buried in Catolacus. Shortly after 250 AD, his grave became a shrine and a pilgrimage centre, with the building of the Abbey of Saint Denis, and the settlement was renamed Saint-Denis.

In 1793, during the French Revolution, Saint-Denis was renamed Franciade in a gesture of rejection of religion. In 1803, however, under the Consulate of Napoléon Bonaparte, the city reverted to its former name of Saint-Denis.

History
During its history, Saint-Denis has been closely associated with the French royal house. Starting from Dagobert I (c. 603–639), almost every French king was buried in the Basilica.

However, Saint-Denis is older than that. In the 2nd century, there was a Gallo-Roman village named Catolacus on the location that Saint-Denis occupies today. Saint Denis, the first bishop of Paris and patron saint of France, was martyred in about 250 AD and buried in the cemetery of Catolacus. Denis' tomb quickly became a place of worship. Around 475 AD, Sainte Geneviève had a small chapel erected on Denis' tomb, which by then had become a popular destination for pilgrims. It was this chapel that Dagobert I had rebuilt and turned into a royal monastery. Dagobert granted many privileges to the monastery: independence from the bishop of Paris, the right to hold a market, and, most importantly, he was buried in Saint-Denis; a tradition which was followed by almost all his successors. During the Middle Ages, because of the privileges granted by Dagobert, Saint-Denis grew to become very important. Merchants from all over Europe (and indeed from the Byzantine Empire) came to visit its market.

In 1140, Abbot Suger, counselor to the King, granted further privileges to the citizens of Saint-Denis. He also started the work of enlarging the Basilica of Saint Denis that still exists today, often cited as the first example of high early Gothic Architecture. The new church was consecrated in 1144.

Saint-Denis was depopulated in the Hundred Years' War; of its 10,000 citizens, only 3,000 remained after the war.

During the French Wars of Religion, the Battle of Saint-Denis was fought between Catholics and Protestants on 10 November 1567. The Protestants were defeated, but the Catholic commander Anne de Montmorency was killed. In 1590, the city surrendered to Henry IV, who converted to Catholicism in 1593 in the abbey of Saint-Denis.

King Louis XIV (1638–1715) started several industries in Saint-Denis: weaving and spinning mills and dyehouses. His successor, Louis XV (1710–1774), whose daughter was a nun in the Carmelite convent, took a lively interest in the city: he added a chapel to the convent and also renovated the buildings of the royal abbey.

During the French Revolution, not only was the city renamed "Franciade" from 1793 to 1803, but the royal necropolis was looted and destroyed. The remains were removed from the tombs and thrown together; during the French Restoration, since they could not be sorted out anymore, they were reburied in a common ossuary.

The last king to be interred in Saint-Denis was Louis XVIII (1755 – 1824). After France became a republic and an empire, Saint-Denis lost its association with royalty.

On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighbouring communes. On that occasion, the commune of La Chapelle-Saint-Denis was disbanded and divided between the city of Paris, Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen, and Aubervilliers. Saint-Denis received the north-western part of La Chapelle-Saint-Denis.

During the 19th century, Saint-Denis became increasingly industrialised. Transport was much improved: in 1824 the Canal Saint-Denis was constructed, linking the Canal de l'Ourcq in the northeast of Paris to the River Seine at the level of L'Île-Saint-Denis, and in 1843 the first railway reached Saint-Denis. By the end of the century, there were 80 factories in Saint-Denis.

The presence of so many industries also gave rise to an important socialist movement. In 1892, Saint-Denis elected its first socialist administration, and by the 1920s, the city had acquired the nickname of la ville rouge, the red city. Until Jacques Doriot in 1934, all mayors of Saint-Denis were members of the Communist Party.

During the Second World War, after the defeat of France, Saint-Denis was occupied by the Germans on 13 June 1940. There were several acts of sabotage and strikes, most notably on 14 April 1942 at the Hotchkiss factory. After an insurgency which started on 18 August 1944, Saint-Denis was liberated by the 2nd Armored Division (France) on 27 August 1944.

After the war, the economic crisis of the 1970s and 1980s hit the city, which was strongly dependent on its heavy industry.

During the 1990s, however, the city started to grow again. The 1998 FIFA World Cup provided an enormous impulse; the main stadium for the tournament, the Stade de France, was built in Saint-Denis, along with many infrastructural improvements, such as the extension of the metro to Saint-Denis-Université. The stadium is used by the national football and rugby teams for friendly matches. The Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue and Top 14 final matches are held there, as well as the Meeting Areva international athletics event.

Since 2000, Saint-Denis has worked with seven neighbouring communes (Aubervilliers, Villetaneuse, Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, Épinay-sur-Seine, L'Île-Saint-Denis (since 2003), Stains (since 2003), and La Courneuve (since 2005)) in Plaine Commune.

In 2003, together with Paris, Saint-Denis hosted the second European Social Forum.

On 13–14 November 2015, Saint-Denis was the main location of a series of mass shootings and hostage-takings just outside the Stade de France. On 18 November, a major follow-up raid occurred. Several suspects were killed, including alleged mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud.

In 2016, Saint-Denis was one of the host cities of the UEFA European Football Championships, including the opening game.

Heraldry
 Motto : Saint Denys Montjoie !
 The coat of arms are described in Old French by the phrase: Azure semé de lys Or (also known as France ancien).

Population

Immigration

Maghrebians

 18.1% of the population of Saint-Denis was Maghrebian. Melissa K. Brynes, author of French Like Us? Municipal Policies and North African Migrants in the Parisian Banlieues, 1945–1975, wrote that in the middle of the 20th century, "few of [the Paris-area communes with North African populations] were as engaged with their migrant communities as the Dionysiens."

Transport

Saint-Denis is served by Metro, RER, tram, and Transilien connections. The Saint-Denis rail station, built in 1846, was formerly the only one in Saint-Denis, but today serves as an interchange station for the Transilien Paris – Nord (Line H) suburban rail line and RER line D. The French rail company SNCF is also based in the town.

Crime
Saint-Denis has a comparatively higher crime rate than most surroundings communes, with higher rates of robbery, drugs offences and murder.

In 2010 Saint-Denis had the highest rate of violent crime in France with 1,899 violent robberies and 1,031 assaults (an average of six robberies and three assaults per day)

To fight insecurity and delinquency, the Minister of Public Safety Jean-Marc Ayrault increased national police force in the Basilica district and the Landy Nord, classifying them as a Priority Security Zone 'ZSP' since 2012.

In 2014, a total of 14,437 crimes were reported for 110,000 inhabitants.

Saint-Denis made international headlines for violent disorder before and after the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final, in which fans of visiting football teams Liverpool F.C. and Real Madrid C.F. were involved in unrest around the stadium along with local groups of youths, with the chaos becoming an issue in the 2022 French legislative election.

Education

Saint-Denis has 29 public preschools/nursery schools (écoles maternelles). Saint-Denis has 30 public elementary schools (écoles élémentaires), with one of those schools (École Élémentaire Maria Casarès) being an intercommunal school. Saint-Denis has eight public junior high schools (collèges). Saint-Denis has the following senior high schools/sixth-form colleges: Lycée Bartholdi, Lycée Paul Éluard, Lycée Suger, and Lycée d’application de l’E.N.N.A.

Saint-Denis has one private elementary, middle, and high school (Ensemble Scolaire Jean-Baptiste de la Salle-Notre Dame de la Compassion) and one private middle and high school (Collège et lycée Saint-Vincent-de-Paul).
