title: List of Arizona Wildcats in the NBA draft

text:
The Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team, representing the University of Arizona, has had 74 players drafted into the National Basketball Association (NBA) since the league began holding drafts in 1947.

Each NBA franchise seeks to add new players through an annual draft. The NBA uses a draft lottery to determine the first three picks of the NBA draft; the 14 teams that did not make the playoffs the previous year are eligible to participate. After the first three picks are decided, the rest of the teams pick in reverse order of their win–loss record. To be eligible for the NBA draft, a player in the United States must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft and must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class. From 1967 until the ABA–NBA merger in 1976, the American Basketball Association (ABA) held its own draft.

title: Dobruja Army

text:
The Dobruja Army was a World War I Russian, Romanian and Serbian field army that fought on the Romanian Front.

Field management was established in August 1916. The army was based primarily on the newly established 47th Army Corps and was sent to Romania to help defend Dobruja from a Bulgarian-German attack from the south. The core of the Dobruja Army was the 47th Russian Army Corps. The Commander of the Army was General Andrei Zayonchkovski. The components of the Army were:
 The 47th Army Corps.
 Separate Romanian and Serbian divisions.

The Dobruja Army was disbanded in October 1916 after the loss of the Cernavodă–Constanța line (following the Second Battle of Cobadin) and became part of the Russian Danube Army.

text:
The West Indies cricket team, captained by Alvin Kallicharran, toured India and Sri Lanka from November 1978 to February 1979 and played a six-match Test series against the India national cricket team. India won the series 1–0. In Sri Lanka, the West Indians played two internationals against the Sri Lanka national cricket team which had not then achieved Test status; therefore, the internationals played at the Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium and the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, both in Colombo, are classified as first-class matches. India were captained by Sunil Gavaskar and Sri Lanka by Anura Tennekoon.It was first test series win for India at home against West Indies

title: Cardiff Riverside Branch

text:
The Cardiff Riverside Branch was a short railway constructed as an industrial railway in Cardiff, South Wales by the Great Western Railway. The line was subsequently upgraded for passenger services.

New industries had developed along the banks of the River Taff south from  station towards Cardiff Docks. Whilst the main Bute and Roath docks were well serviced by both the Great Western Railway (GWR) and the Taff Vale Railway (TVR), the relatively thin spit of land between the River Taff and the Glamorganshire Canal, known locally as "Rat Island", was not.

 station was built immediately to the south of Cardiff Station (the mainline GWR station, now called ), with the tracks joining the GWR mainline immediately to the west. Construction began in early 1882, reaching an interim goods-only station two-thirds along the spit, allowing opening on 14 September 1882. This served several factories, notably Curran Steels, to the west of the line, which produced rolled steel and brass and then pressed them to make enamel wares. The line was then extended to a second goods-only station at  , making the total length of the line .

In 1894 the line was upgraded for passenger use, allowing the TVR to extend its existing passenger services, running from  to Clarence Road from 2 April 1894. This also allowed connection to the made with the Cardiff Tramways Company system. During both World Wars the line was used to transport raw materials and munitions to and from the Curran's works, which became a munitions factory manufacturing shell casings and tank tracks. Production of machine gun ammunition continued until the 1960s.

The line continued to run under British Railways from 1948. The passenger service to Clarence Road station closed in March 1964. Freight services to the Curran's yard sidings continued until July 1968, when the entire line was closed and quickly taken up.

The entire spit has been redeveloped, with industry squeezed out between developing office, retail and housing developments. Few signs of the former line or its stations exist today.

title: Pádraig Ó Caoimh

text:
Pádraig Ó Caoimh (Patrick "Paddy" O'Keeffe) was an Irish soldier and long-time administrator of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). Páirc Uí Chaoimh, the home of the Cork GAA, is named after him.

Early life
Ó Caoimh was born in Roscommon in 1898.

He moved to Cork City at an early age; the 1911 census records him living at No. 13 East View Terrace on Quaker Road. He lived with his father (an RIC Pensioner and Draper), his brother and his three sisters. One of these siblings, or some other relatives, would later live in Ballynoe, near Castlelyons, in County Cork.

He was educated by the Christian Brothers in Cork and was an active member of the Gaelic Athletic Association.

After leaving school he trained as a Secondary School teacher at Saint Mary's College in London, returning to Cork to teach at Presentation Brothers College.

In 1916, when he was 18, he joined the Irish Volunteers.

In 1919, at the age of 21, Ó Caoimh gave up school teaching to become a full-time Volunteer officer and secretary of the Cork County Board, G.A.A.

Irish War of Independence

During the Irish War of Independence, Ó Caoimh served with A Company (University Company), 2nd Battalion, Cork No. 1 Brigade, IRA.

His organisational talents impressed his superiors and in 1920 he was given another appointment as manager of the Employment Bureau (established by the First Dáil).

In November 1920, Ó Caoimh and about twenty other A Company Volunteers received orders to collect their weapons from the company arms dump and report to their headquarters in UCC From there the men were sent to a Fire Brigade storage shed on O'Sullivan's Quay to await further orders. After some hours word came that the British Forces they had been mobilised to ambush had moved and at 18:45 they were ordered to set off home. Volunteer Michael O'Donoghue, "Now we made our way home to our 'digs' in twos and threes carrying our guns, keeping them with us until we were instructed to return them to the dump. I went south up Sullivan's Quay alone, crossed over Parliament Bridge and back via Prince's St. and Oliver Plunkett St. to my 'den' in 31 Grand Parade. Paddy O'Keeffe came a few yards behind me with Captain O'Sullivan ["a pal of O'Keeffe's"], O'Keefe dallied a minute to drop into Peg Duggan's new flower and fruit shop just at the Bridge. (Peg was senior officer of Cork Cumann na mBan, and had been working two years earlier in my old 'digs' (Fitzgerald's at 104 Old Georges St.)). It was a few minutes to seven. Curfew zero hour. O'Keeffe merged, Four or five tall men in civvies with levelled revolvers order him to put up his hands. O'Keeffe resourceful, yet not quite realising the position, delays a little asking'"What's up, lads?", half-thinking them to be fellow I.R.A. men. A gun rammed into his back with a curse bring home to him the awful truth that they are Auxiliaries and that he is in deadly peril. On searching him, they find a hand grenade. Almost at the same time, he Sees O'Sullivan some yards from him at the bridge, being disarmed. Now O'Keeffe realised that the 'Auxies' would likely shoot him on the spot. A flash of desperate Inspiration: "Here", he says to the 'Auxies', the District Inspector down at Union Quay knows all about this, Take me there and District Inspector so and so will explain my job to you". The bluff worked. P. O'Keeffe was playing for time – a respite. He felt that if he was brought to Union Quay Barracks, he would be safe at least from being murdered on the spot; that he might get a judicial trial first, or court-martial, which would take him out of the murderous hands of the bloodthirsty 'Auxies'. Arrived at Union Quay R.I.C. Barracks, O'Keeffe was recognised as a wanted I.R.A. man The 'Auxies' were enraged and wanted to kill him on the spot in the day-room of the barracks, but the R.I.C. saved him to stand his trial and die on the scaffold, as they thought. He was court-martialled and charged with possession of a bomb. Sentence: 15 years penal servitude served in Parkhurst and other English prisons. He was lucky to escape the death penalty and so was his comrade, O'Sullivan, who got twenty years penal."

Ó Caoimh was transferred to Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight at the start of 1921. There were over seven hundred men imprisoned there at the time; the authorities had decided to divide up the Irish Republican prisoners so they would each be housed with forty regular prisoners. Volunteer James Allen Busby "We refused to agree to this and barricaded our cells. For this some of our lads were taken to what were known as the 'silent cells'. These cells were underground. Crowe [Maurice Crow of Emly, County Tipperary (I.R.A. prisoner's Commandant)] applied to see the Governor of the prison and told him that we would tear the place down, brick by brick, if our lads were not released from the underground cells. We refused to associate with any convicts but our own lads, and when walking in circles on the exercise ground we arranged to break ranks and get together, whereupon the warders set upon us and rushed us to our cells. I remember on one occasion, for three weeks running we gave what we called our "concert party". When lights were out at night, we kept up a constant din, shouting and singing Irish songs. At periods the warders tried to undress us to give us a bath; we fought them on this and refused to go for a bath unless we went in a party with our own lads. We also threatened to go on strike against the fortnightly convicts' haircutting. Everything that was possible to do, we did, to upset prison discipline and force the authorities to treat us as a group apart from the other convicted prisoners. Eventually the warders themselves threatened to go on strike because of the trouble we were causing them. Finally, the Governor agreed to 'house' us in cells all on the one landing and, after consultation with Crowe, our commandant, allowed us to remain together and not associate with the other prisoners. The Reverend Father Dominic [O'Connor, "the patriot Franciscan"] wore prison garb and was detained in the hospital wing. His hair (or beard) was not cut and he was permitted to say Mass every day. Paddy O'Keeffe of Cork, the present General Secretary of the Gaelic Athletic, used serve Fr. Dominic's Mass."

Ó Caoimh was released the year after the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty.

He took a position as manager of a Munster tobacco company and married a lady named Peig.

General Secretary of the GAA

In 1929, the position of General Secretary of the G.A.A. became vacant for the first time in almost 30 years. The Governing Body of the GAA, the Central Council, decided that applicants must be members of the Association for a minimum of five years, must be under 40 years of age, and would have to undergo a qualifying examination consisting of Irish (oral and written), English, arithmetic and book-keeping. The chosen candidate would act as both the Secretary of the GAA and the Manager of Croke Park; be paid a salary of £300 (rising in annual increments of £10 to a maximum of £400), and be provided with a free house and electric light.

There were a total of 11 applications for the post, only 9 of these attended the August 1929 examinations. After the examinations two rounds of votes were taken; on the final vote 31-year-old Padraig Ó Caoimh defeated F. Burke by 11 votes to 10. He resigned his positions at the Munster tobacco company and at the Cork County Board, and was appointed Secretary of the GAA.

Within three years of his appointment his renowned organisational skills were put to the test. In 1932 Croke Park hosted both the Tailteann Games and the Eucharistic Congress. The Eucharistic Congress in particular required a great deal of organisation with Ó Caoimh responsible for up to 2,000 stewards.

By far the most controversial episode in Ó Caoimh's 35-year career was the removal of Douglas Hyde, President of Ireland, as a Patron of the Association in 1938. Hyde broke the GAA's ban on "foreign games" by attending an international soccer match in Dublin. The question raised by Éamon de Valera in 1946 was whether Ó Caoimh should have warned Hyde on the implications of attending a soccer match and thus allowing Hyde to retire quietly as a Patron.

One of Ó Caoimh's key achievements was the staging of the 1947 All-Ireland Senior Football Final in the Polo Grounds, New York. One has to remember that in 1947 Europe, and America, were still recovering from World War II, air travel was still relatively novel and communications were still primitive. In the space of five months Ó Caoimh oversaw the transfer of the All-Ireland Final to America and its radio broadcast back to Ireland.

While the Polo Grounds Final achieved its ultimate aim of rejuvenating the Association in America, Ó Caoimh, for the rest of his tenure, had to spend a disproportionately high amount of his time organising the GAA in America. The post-1947 relationship between the GAA in Ireland and the GAA in New York was, at times, fragile. A number of experiments were tried such as the St. Brendan Cup Competition, the inclusion of New York in the National League Finals and the initiation of a World Championship Series. Yet there was a constant degree of disharmony either within the American GAA itself or between Ireland and America. Ó Caoimh patiently and diplomatically sought, and tested, solutions that would placate both parties.

One lasting legacy of the Ó Caoimh era that is still evident today is the drive he initiated to have a GAA-owned pitch in every parish. In 1957 a Parks Committee (Coiste na bPáirc) was formed to advise on a unified plan for the development of grounds. From this Parks Committee came the 'Grounds Plan' which saw grounds being purchased and refurbished, with grants from the Central Council, on a phased basis i.e. Provincial Grounds in phase one of the plan, County Grounds in phase two etc. In paying tribute to O'Caoimh after his death Alf Ó Muiri, President of the Association, stated that "in 1929 there were 1,500 clubs, in 1963 there were more than 3,000…the number of grounds owned in 1929 must have been very few, there are now close on 400 grounds owned and properly vested in the Association".

Ó Caoimh continued to work through a long period of poor health (he underwent four major operations between 1944 and 1963) and the Central Council acted to reduce his workload and employed new staff, including his successor-to-be Seán Ó Síocháin.

Ó Caoimh died in May 1964 (aged 66), a few months before completing 35 years as Secretary of the GAA. An obituary in ''The Irish Times' stated that "under his administrative genius the GAA became by far the strongest sports organisation in the country and reputedly the biggest amateur association of its kind in the world. During his term of office, its membership grew to the huge proportions of today, including powerful branches in the United States, Britain, Australia and Africa; imposing stadia, of which Croke Park was his special care. Without his ability to co-ordinate plan and inspire, only a fraction of this extraordinary progress could have been achieved."

Páirc Uí Chaoimh

In 1974, a new home for Cork Gaelic games was built in Ballintemple, Cork. The stadium, a modern bowl-shaped ground with a covered stand, an open-air stand and two terraces behind each goalpost, had a capacity of 50,000 when it was opened and was the first to be custom-built from scratch by the G.A.A. The new stadium was named in Páirc Uí Chaoimh in honour of Pádraig Ó Caoimh.

In 2015, the forty-year-old stadium was demolished and a new stadium was built on the same site, which opened in 2017. The new stadium retains the name Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

title: Fangamer

text:
Fangamer LLC is an American video game merchandising company and game publisher based in Tucson, Arizona. Fangamer was originally spun out from Starmen.net, an EarthBound online forum. It operates an online store that sells licensed indie game merchandise items such as hats, pins, vinyl records, t-shirts and other products. In recent years the company has also begun publishing physical editions of independent video games.

History
Starmen.net, an online forum, began selling T-shirts and mugs in 2007 as a way to pay for the server costs of the site. One of the creators of the site stated, "Well, the ads weren't paying the bills, so we thought, 'What if we took the kinda-crappy print-on-demand stuff we’re making on CafePress, and we did it at a much higher-quality?'". The next year, Fangamer was launched with an initial offering of "two t-shirts, a pin set, and a mug" based on EarthBound. After the success of this initial run of merchandise, Fangamer started to expand into creating items for other games such as Phoenix Wright and Chrono Trigger. To avoid infringement of the various video game properties they were creating items for at the time, the site avoided using designs with any copyrighted symbols. Fangamer also produced physical copies of Starmen.net's unofficial player's guide for Mother 3.

In the mid-2010's Fangamer became known as a fulfillment partner for video game Kickstarters, providing merchandise for the campaigns of games such as Broken Age and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. After partnering with Toby Fox to create merchandise for Undertale, the site experienced a higher number of sales, with a cofounder saying "I thought there was a glitch in Shopify... Undertale had become just an incredible phenomenon.”. This success allowed Fangamer to expand into acquiring licenses for other video game proprieties, going on to create merchandise for games such as Hollow Knight and Banjo-Kazooie.

title: Oksana Kondratyeva

text:
Oksana Yurevna Kondratyeva (; born 22 November 1985) is a Russian track and field athlete competing in the hammer throw. Her personal best of  ranks her in the all-time top ten of the event. She represented Russia at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics, placing seventh.

She is a four-time participant at the Summer Universiade, with her best performance coming in 2013, when she won the silver medal. She holds the title of Russia Master of Sport – International Class. She is the daughter of hammer thrower Yuriy Sedykh and sprinter Lyudmila Kondratyeva.

Career

Early life and career
Raised in Moscow, she is the daughter of two Olympic champions: 1976 and 1980 Olympic hammer throw champion Yuriy Sedykh and 100 metres Olympic champion Lyudmila Kondratyeva. Her half-sister Alexia Sedykh is also an international hammer thrower and was the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics champion competing for France. Oksana Kondratyeva became a member of the Moscow Youth Sports Club and began competing in the hammer in her late teens.

In 2004, she placed third in the Russian junior category and was third in the Moscow regional championship. She won the Moscow under-23 competition the following year, clearing sixty metres for the first time, and ranked seventh nationally in the national winter throws and Russian Athletics Championships. Her best performance in 2005 was a throw of  for fifth at the Russian Athletics Cup. She competed sparingly in 2006 while studying, but managed to win the Russian under-23 title. She had a new best at the 2007 Russian Winter Throwing event, placing third with a mark of . This earned her a spot at the 2007 Summer Universiade in Bangkok, although with a throw of  she was well below par on her international debut.

First senior competitions
Kondratyeva entered the full senior ranks in 2008 and continued to improve, first throwing  for fourth at the Brothers Znamensky Memorial then  as runner-up at the Moscow Championships. She won at the Kuts Memorial, but ranked seventh at the national championships. She had three straight wins at the start of 2009, setting new bests each time to end up with  and the Russian Team Championships title. She gained her second call-up for Russia at the 2009 Summer Universiade and placed thirteenth in the final. Her season peaked with a best of  for second place at the Russian Championships, but this did not gain her selection for the 2009 World Championships in Athletics as she did not hold the "A" qualifying standard.

Her upward trend continued into 2010, when she threw over 68 metres several times and placed second at the Russian Winter Championships and third in her group at the 2010 European Cup Winter Throwing. At the Russian Athletics Cup she cleared seventy metres for the first time to place second to Tatyana Lysenko with a new personal best of . This made her the 14th best hammer thrower globally that year. Despite this, she was below sixty metres and out of the top eight at that year's national championships.

At the start of 2011 she competed on the global circuit for the first time and placed fourth at the Meeting Grand Prix IAAF de Dakar. Her best throw that season came in the final of the Russian Championships, where her mark of  left her again runner-up to Lysenko. Having opted for post-graduate study, she was eligible for the 2011 Summer Universiade and had her best finish at the games by coming sixth overall. Kondratyeva cleared seventy metres on numerous occasions in 2012, although improved national depth meant she did not place much higher: she had a best of  in Moscow in June, but her mark of  at the Russian Championships left her in fifth place. She ranked twentieth in the world that year internationally.

2013 World Championships
Kondratyeva, after five years in the senior ranks, finally reached international level performances. She began with a win at the Yuliya Pechonkina Prizes meet then was victorious at the Russian Cup with . A throw of  to win at the Znamensky Memorial put her at the top of the yearly rankings. This moved her up to sixth place on the all-time women's hammer throw lists. Her fourth consecutive appearance at the Summer Universiade (held on home soil in Kazan) brought her first international medal in the form of a silver behind American Jeneva McCall. A third place at the Russian Championships with a mark of  meant she was chosen to represent Russia at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics in Moscow. She performed well on her first appearance on the global championship stage: her opening throw of  made her the fifth best in qualifying and her best mark in the hammer throw final of  meant she finished seventh in the event (national rival Lysenko won the competition and another Russian, Anna Bulgakova, was fifth).

At the beginning of 2014 she ranked in the top eight at the Golden Grand Prix and World Challenge Beijing meetings.

Doping
On 7 April 2021, Kondratyeva was banned for four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport for an anti doping rule violation with all her results from 2 July 2013 onwards disqualified, including her silver medal at the 2013 Universiade and her 7th placed finish at the 2013 world championships.

title: Pioneer (video game)

text:
Pioneer is a free and open source space trading and combat simulator video game inspired by the commercial proprietary Frontier: Elite 2. It is available for Linux, and Microsoft Windows.

Setting
Pioneer is set at the start of the 33rd century. The player may choose from one of three starting locations: Mars, New Hope or a space station around Barnard's Star.

Gameplay
The game has no set objective, and the player is free to explore the galaxy and accrue money by performing tasks like trading, piracy or combat missions, allowing them to achieve a higher rank, buy better ships and equipment and hire more crew.

It has a realistic flight and orbital model based on Newtonian physics and a rudimentary atmospheric model with drag and heat build-up.

Development
Development was started in 2008 by Tom Morton, also known for his work on GLFrontier, as a remake and homage to Frontier: Elite 2. The game is written in C++ and uses OpenGL for graphical rendering. It uses Lua for scripting support. The development migrated in 2011 to a SourceForge.net repository, and some years later to GitHub.

The project had at times up to 50 developers

Reception and impact
Pioneer was selected in March 2013 as "HotPick" by Linux Format. Pioneer was used in a physical spaceship flight simulator project in 2013. In 2014 Pioneer was described by PCGamer as "incredibly slick" and named among the "Ten top fan remade classics you can play for free right now". In 2015 a Der Standard article noted the enormous work the fans have achieved with Pioneer as Elite remake and continuation.

Pioneer became a quite popular open source freeware title; between 2011 and May 2017, the game was downloaded via SourceForge.net over 260,000 times.

title: NBR 141 Class

text:
The NBR 141 Class consisted of two steam  locomotives built by the North British Railway (NBR) in 1869. They were the direct antecedents of the NBR 224 Class .

History
Thomas Wheatley became locomotive superintendent of the North British Railway (NBR) at the start of February 1867. During his tenure of seven years, he provided the NBR with 185 new locomotives; but only eight of these were suitable for hauling express passenger trains, the first two of which were these s, nos. 141 and 164, which were built in 1869; the remaining six were the s of the 224 and 420 Classes, introduced in 1871 and 1873 respectively.

Originally the 141 Class had leading wheels of  diameter, coupled wheels of  diameter, and cylinders measuring . The boilers were domeless, with the safety-valves mounted above the firebox. The frames were single, the driving wheel splashers had eight slots; there was no cab, but a weatherboard with two circular windows. The six-wheel tender held  of water. They were very good locomotives, and when the cylinder diameter was increased by , the performance was not adversely affected.

Rebuilding
On the NBR, locomotives were generally rebuilt when their boilers wore out. Matthew Holmes, locomotive superintendent of the NBR between 1882 and 1903, rebuilt both locomotives in 1890; amongst the improvements were a domed boiler, Westinghouse brake and a cab. In later years, no. 141 was used on trains between Glasgow and .

Final years
Every six months, the NBR renumbered some of its older locomotives into a "duplicate list", in order to vacate numbers for new construction. Accordingly, in 1912, nos. 141 and 164 were placed on the duplicate list, becoming nos. 1158/60 respectively. They were both withdrawn from service in 1915 and scrapped in 1923.

Summary

The locomotives may have been named after 1875 – it has been stated that Drummond, who replaced Wheatley in 1875, named NBR engines "including those already in service".

title: Innovative Timing Systems

text:
Innovative Timing Systems (ITS) is a privately held company located in Saint Louis, Missouri which manufactures transponder timing equipment for sports.  Its Jaguar system is a Gen 2.0 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system operating at ultra high frequencies.  Over 500 Jaguar timers use the system to time running, bicycle, motocycle, paddleboard and triathlon events.

ITS was one of the first vendors to offer disposable transponders affixed to the back of a race number rather than the prior method of wearing the transponder on a runner's shoe.  To do this, Jaguar's antennas are mounted above ground on tripods or trusses instead of imbedded into mats on the ground.  The Jaguar system was introduced in August 2008 after beta testing at 50 events. ITS holds a patent for using a foam backing to separate transponders from the sweat-covered skin of athletes, among other inventions.

In addition to offering Jaguar timing systems and a variety of transponders, ITS also manufactures race clocks. These light emitting diode displays are integrated with the Jaguar system to allow a computer to display custom information (such as elapsed time or number of laps) as each athlete passes the clock.

ITS also operates the Its Your Race registration website.  The website coordinates with a smart phone application.  It collects online registrations from participants and offers them finisher certificates customized for each athlete.  It also sells photographs that were taken by cameras that were triggered by transponder reads during the race.

ITS also maintains a suite of specialized software to operate the timing equipment and integrate it with the clocks, flat panel displays, result websites, touch panel kiosks and tablets.

Seeking some of the largest races to become clients, in November 2014, ITS offered to time any race of more than 20,000 athletes for free, if it could perform their registration and photography as well.

title: Castro (musician)

text:
Theophilus Tagoe (born 1 May 1982, disappeared 6 July 2014), popularly known as Castro or Castro Under Fire, was a Ghanaian hiplife recording artist and musician.

Early life and career
He was born in Takoradi in the Western Region of Ghana in 1982 to Lydia Tagoe (a trader) and a Mr. Cofie (an accountant). He had his primary and Junior high education at the All Saints Anglican Primary School in Takoradi. He started singing as early as age 10 and entered the musical scene with his 2003 hit song "Sradenam".  He had features on the hip-life group 4x4 hit track, "Sikletele," which officially introduced him to the local music scene before he launched his debut album in 2003."Sradinam" soon became one of many Ghanaians' favorite hits.

Castro's dream was to retire and become a producer. His dream was to help bring to the limelight talented unknown young artist. He believes that this will develop the young talented artist and groom them for the market by becoming a producer.

Castro was a friend of Ghana national football team's captain, Asamoah Gyan. The duo recorded three albums together. "African Girls" was another hit of theirs.

Disappearance
On 6 July 2014, Castro and Miss Janet Bandu were reported to have drowned following a jet ski accident in Ada Estuary while on holiday with the Gyan brothers. The jet ski involved in the accident was recovered on the same day of their disappearance but their bodies had not been recovered, despite a search by the police. Little is known of his disappearance.

Recounting events surrounding Castro's disappearance, Gyan said: "That was the first time they went to Aqua Safari and that in the previous years, they went to Akosombo. That particular year, the yacht at Akosombo was broken down so they decided to go to Ada. Before going to Ada, they called to find out if they could get a bigger yacht because, their friends always organised to bring their lady friends so as to make the party fun, so they were told they could get two yachts at Ada. Castro called me a week before I returned to Ghana and said he may not be able to go with us since a friend of his was bereaved, and he had to attend the funeral in Kumasi. A day before we went to Ada, he [Castro] came to my house and said he was on his way to Kumasi and would not join us. But whilst we were on our way to Ada, on the Accra-Tema motorway, we received a phone call that "Under" [Castro] wants us to wait for him. We parked at a fuel filling station where a crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of me. I later got the inclination it was destined to happen because he was initially not part of the trip. When we got to Ada, everything went fine. We were to spend three days. We started using the Jet Ski on the second day.

Awards

Ghana Music Awards
In the year 2006, he won the Hiplife Artiste of the Year as well as the Hiplife Album of the Year, with his song "Toffee". This award won him so much recognition in and outside Ghana.

title: Geometry Dash

text:
Geometry Dash is a series of music platforming video games developed by Swedish developer Robert "RobTop" Topala. The game was released on 13 August 2013 on iOS and Android, and the Steam version on 22 December 2014. In Geometry Dash, players control the movement of an icon and navigate along music-based levels, while avoiding obstacles such as spikes that instantly destroy the icon on impact.

Geometry Dash consists of 21 official levels. It has a level creation system, where players can create their own custom levels, share them online and play levels designed by other players. In addition to the official levels, certain user-created levels have been featured in in-game content. In-game currency, such as stars, coins, orbs or diamonds, can be obtained from various sources, such as official levels, user-created levels or chests.

In addition to the original game, three other spin-off games in the series have been made: Geometry Dash Meltdown, Geometry Dash World, and Geometry Dash SubZero.

Gameplay

Geometry Dash can be played with a touchscreen, keyboard, mouse, or controller. The player manipulates the movement of their icon through input in the form of pressing or holding to reach the end of a level. If the player crashes into an obstacle, such as a spike, a wall or a sawblade, the level restarts from the beginning. There is also a "practice mode" in which a player may place checkpoints to survey or practice a level, but is unable to collect coins or gain progress for normal mode. The timing and rhythm of the in-game music are key parts of the game, often in relation to each other.

During gameplay, the player's icon takes the form of one of seven different game modes, each of which behaves differently with each interaction. Player movement is further complicated by portals that allow the player to change between seven game modes, reverse gravity, change the size of their icon, mirror the direction of their movement, change their speed, or teleport. Furthermore, pads and orbs can be used to move the player in varying directions or change gravity.

There are 21 official levels in the full version of Geometry Dash, 18 of which are unlocked upon installation. The other three require a specific number of secret coins hidden within all the official levels. Each level grants rewards upon completion. Official levels steadily advance in difficulty. Levels are categorized into six difficulty ratings: Easy, Normal, Hard, Harder, Insane, and Demon (which also has five sub-categories: Easy Demon, Medium Demon, Hard Demon, Insane Demon, and Extreme Demon). Players can earn achievements that unlock rewards, such as icons or colours. Players may also utilize three shops that use an in-game currency to acquire icons or colours.

The full version of the game features the ability to upload and download user-created levels. The creator must complete their level with all user-placed coins in normal mode before it can be uploaded: a process known as verification. Changes made after verification will render the level unverified again. Some custom levels have a specific difficulty determined by Topala. The creator of a level, its players and the game's moderators can influence this decision. User-created levels can be categorized into 12 difficulty ratings, including five of the ratings used in official levels. The auto difficulty is reserved for 'auto' levels which do not require input for completion. In approved user-created levels, each difficulty rewards a certain number of stars upon completion.

Development
The game began as a project that could have moved in any direction, according to Topala. He made the remarks, 'it simply started as a template with a cube that could crash and jump' and 'there really was no detailed plan'. He previously developed it for the computer but later altered his plan and made attempts to make it a mobile game. Topala was inspired by The Impossible Game and took about four months to create the game and take it to the App Store and Google Play Store. In the beta version, the game was called Geometry Jump but later changed to Geometry Dash. The game is developed on the Cocos2d game engine.

Upon its release, Geometry Dash had seven levels free to play on the game's free version, alongside nine other levels released in later updates. It gained popularity around the world, especially in Canada, where it achieved the title of the most popular paid iPhone app in June 2014. There are four free versions of the game, one being Geometry Dash Lite which includes the first 16 levels from the full version.

On 14 August 2021, Topala released a sneak peek video of version 2.2, the first major update since 2017, on his YouTube channel. The release date had yet to be announced. On 4 September 2022, Topala released the second sneak peek, over a year after the first. Topala released a third sneak peek on 15 May 2023, which showcased additional platformer mode features and a sound effect library for custom levels. On 13 August 2023, as part of the game's 10 year anniversary, Topala released a 27-minute video in commemoration. At the end of the video, the release date for 2.2 was revealed as October 2023, making it the first update to be released in more than six years. However, on 22 October 2023, Topala announced via Twitter that the 2.2 release date would be delayed to November due to server and bug issues.

Reception
The game received generally positive reviews from critics. Softpedia complimented the game's style and challenge that it brings up, saying, 'While it can get a bit frustrating sometimes, you can always complete the stages using the practice mode and then jump into the many different user-generated levels'. 148Apps gave the game a positive review, stating, 'Geometry Dash provides all of the challenge expected from an 'impossible' game while also making it more accessible to newcomers'. Geometry Dash has also been listed by the reviewer Chris Morris on the website Common Sense Media as a child-friendly video game that parents could let their children play on, stating that the game was a 'good way to handle frustration', and that 'families can also talk about rhythm and the joy of dancing in time with music'. On the App Store, Geometry Dash was ranked 2nd for the app's Top 10 Paid iPad Games and 7th for Top 10 Paid iPhone Games in 2018.

Other games
For Geometry Dash World, Gamezebo praised the game's captivation and decent gameplay styles. Although, the reviewer noted that it was not the 'most interesting looking game out there'. Gerson Noboa from AndroidGuys praised the Geometry Dash spin-off, stating that 'Geometry Dash World is a worthy addition to your game arsenal. Thanks to tightly connected graphical and sound elements, the game provides an awesome, integrated experience that is rarely seen in Play Store games'.

Other games

Geometry Dash Lite

Geometry Dash Lite is a free version of the game with advertisements and gameplay restrictions. Geometry Dash Lite has 16 levels but lacks the option to create and play custom user-generated levels. It also has a much more limited selection of character customization options, missing many icons and colours used in the full game.

Geometry Dash Meltdown

On 16 December 2015, Topala announced a spin-off game titled Geometry Dash Meltdown, which was released on 19 December 2015 for iOS and Android. It includes three levels featuring the songs of F-777. The game showcased new icons and features in levels added in version 2.0 of the original game.

Geometry Dash World
On 21 December 2016, Topala announced a second spin-off game titled Geometry Dash World, saying that it would come out on the same day. It includes two worlds with five levels each, introducing features that came to the original game later in update 2.1. It also features a limited selection of levels created by other players.

Geometry Dash SubZero
On 12 December 2017, Topala announced a third spin-off game titled Geometry Dash SubZero, which was released on 21 December 2017. It consists of three levels. It is the latest stand-alone game released in the series, introducing features of the main game's upcoming update 2.2.

RobTop

Robert Nicholas Christian Topala (born 23 February 1987), also known as RobTop or RubRub, is an independent Swedish video game developer who created the platformer game Geometry Dash.

Career
On 6 June 2010, Robert Topala created his first video game, Bounce Ball Thingy, on Newgrounds, developing it while he was at university studying civil engineering. He later abandoned his course because he became more interested in the video game industry.

Topala decided to work alone, founding RobTop Games in 2012. The first video game he produced under RobTop Games was Boomlings, a puzzle video game released on 5 November 2012, for mobile devices, Topala continued to produce video games, including Memory Mastermind (2013) and Boomlings MatchUp (2013).

On 29 April 2013, Topala announced the platform video game Geometry Jump, later Geometry Dash. It was developed in four months with Topala's (at the time) basic programming knowledge, the game was launched on 13 August 2013, for mobile devices and on 22 December 2014, for Steam (Microsoft Windows and macOS).

In 2017, Topala entered the Swedish Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition. Making it to the final, he placed second in the competition. The jury cited his "extraordinary talent" and the homegrown nature of his business as their reasoning for the placing.

In 2018, RobTop Games acquired Fäbodarna AB for  five million krona (around $480,000).

Personal life
Topala is very closed about his personal life. Topala founded RobTop Games in Upplands Väsby, where he lives as of 2018. He is married to Annika Dennerståhl.

title: Rand Club

text:
The Rand Club is a private members' club in Johannesburg, South Africa, founded in October 1887. The current (third) clubhouse was designed by architects Leck & Emley in 1902 and its construction completed in 1904. Cecil John Rhodes helped to select the location.

History

The club was founded only a year after the city of Johannesburg itself was formed. The need for such an establishment was felt as, in the burgeoning gold rush tent town of the time, there was little infrastructure and no suitable locale for distinguished visitors or pioneers to call in or be received at. It is said that Cecil John Rhodes was walking along the newly laid-out Marshall's Township together with Dr Hans Sauer, the first District Surgeon of the Transvaal Republic; both of them stopped at the intersection of what is now Commissioner and Loveday streets, with Rhodes proclaiming that “this place will do for a club.”

The first subscribers, who became the founding members, received two plots as a voluntary contribution and purchased two additional ones in order to ensure that the future building provided spacious facilities. The construction of the first clubhouse promptly began with the erection of a simple single-story structure, housing a bar, a billiards room, four conference rooms, and offices for the chairman and the secretary. This quickly proved inadequate and this structure was demolished to make way for a double-story Victorian building, then deemed the finest in Johannesburg, with colonnaded verandas, trelliswork, French windows, and Corinthian pillars. By 1902, this too proved inadequate and was replaced with the current, third, clubhouse.

The club and its members have played important parts and have held notable positions in South African history. Mining magnates such as Sir Jilius Jeppe, Sir Hermann Eckstein and Sir Lionel Phillips were instrumental in turning the Witwatersrand into the largest goldfield in the world, as well as for sponsoring the construction of the Johannesburg Art Gallery and donating important pieces of art to it. Rhodes's associate, Dr Leander Starr Jameson, together with his fellow plotters from the Transvaal Reform Committee plotted the overthrow of the government of the Transvaal from the club's Main Bar. The club was one of the targets of the striking miners during the Rand Rebellion of 1922 and was briefly barricaded during the disturbances.

Clubhouse

Architecture and interiors

The current clubhouse was completed in 1904 on the design of prominent architects William Leck and Frank Emley in the Edwardian neo-baroque style. It is said that Emley drew inspiration from Michelangelo’s Church of the Sacred Heart in Florence and from the Reform Club in London. The front façade of the building has a rusticated ground floor and is adorned with porticoes and Doric pillars. A notable feature is the specific incorporation of two half-moon wooden benches flanking the front doors, as by 1904 it was already an established tradition for some members to sit at the front and observe passing street life.

The six-storey building houses the longest bar in Africa, at , a billiards room, a private theatre, a double-volume staircase illuminated by a mosaic dome, two libraries, a ballroom, an armoury, six conference rooms of various volumes, office space, and three bedrooms. The top two floors are still under restoration following a fire in June 2005 that destroyed the top two floors of the building.

Art collection

The club's most prominent artwork, a Pietro Annigoni of Queen Elizabeth II, was destroyed by the fire in June 2005. The club interiors are adorned by sculptures and paintings from some of the most prominent South African artists, past and current.

Library

The main Buckland Library houses in excess of 10,000 volumes, some of which are of historic and scholarly interest. The club is acknowledged as one of the notable private collections of Africa, with some volumes dating back to the 19th century. Apart from books on Africa, the club is a veritable depository in the fields of Johannesburg history and biographies. With a number of its members being published authors in their own right, the library has a separate section of works by Sir Lionel Phillips and Anthony Akerman, amongst others.

Royal residence

The club is unique in that it was used not once, but twice, as an official residence by members of the British royal family on their official visits to South Africa in the 1920s and 1930s.

Governance

General meetings and committee

The governance of the club vests with the members in general meeting. An annual general meeting is traditionally held on 20 November, with additional meetings as the need arises.  Members traditionally elect a General Committee to perform the oversight over daily functions and management.

Internal clubs

Rand Club has various clubs within itself, of which the most notable are the Hunting, Shooting & Fishing Club, the Business Club, the Historical Association, the Theatre & Cinema Club, and the Young Members’ Think Tank. Each of these clubs-within-the club hosts its own regular events, dinners, and celebrations.

title: CARMAnation

text:
CARMAnation is a website for people to rent out their private parking. Founded by Ilya Movshovich and Ashley Cummings, in January 2013, and headquartered in Silicon Valley, the company is privately owned and operated by Carmanation, Inc.

Users of the site must register and create a personal online profile before using the site. Every parking spot is associated with a host whose profile includes recommendations by other users, reviews by previous guests, as well as a response rating and private messaging system.

The company is also looking into including corporate parking lots that clear out when employees go home after 5 pm.

History

In December 2012, Ilya Movshovich created the initial concept for CARMAnation (at that time calling it Swap-n-park). A few months later Ashley Cummings joined as a co-founder of "Swap-n-park". The company was founded on January 1, 2013.

Name change and growth

In January 2013, the conceptual name "Swap-n-park" was officially changed to CARMAnation and registered under Carmanation, Inc. CARMAnation.com officially launched in Silicon Valley on March 1, 2014.

Company

One year later from the original conception, the founding team headquarters itself in Movshovich’s condominium on Sansome Street in Silicon Valley. As of June 2014 the founding team is self-funding the company, and has started speaking with investors to raise their first seed round to continue the rapid growth in the Bay Area and future expansion into other cities throughout the United States, with a plan to move into its first Silicon Valley office space.

The CARMAnation founding team acts as the key managerial staff for CARMAnation: Ilya Movshovich, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer; Ashley Cummings, Co-Founder and Vice President of Communication.

Business model

CARMAnation runs on a marketplace platform model where it connects parking hosts and drivers, and enables transactions without owning any parking spots itself. Such platforms disrupt traditional industries by creating new sources of supply and relying on curation for developing quality.

Operation

CARMAnation is an online marketplace for parking sharing, that connects users with private parking to users looking for parking spaces. Users are categorized as “Parking Hosts” and “Guests;” both of which must register with CARMAnation using a variety of means. A valid email address or Facebook account are the only requirements to build a unique user profile on the website.

CARMAnation facilitates online payments from guest to parking host through Stripe.com which securely processes payment transactions. The company’s revenue comes from a 15% commission of the guest payment. If the parking host offers their parking space free-of-charge, the company charges 30 cents to cover the transaction cost acquired through access to Stripe.com, the rest in full goes into an established bank account of the respective charity.

title: Roma Church

text:
Roma Church () is a medieval church in Lövsta, Gotland (Sweden). The church is one of the largest countryside churches on Gotland. Built during the 13th century, it displays influences from Cistercian architecture and may have been used by Dominicans preaching for the Northern Crusades. It belongs to the Church of Sweden and lies in the Diocese of Visby.

History
The presently visible church was preceded by a considerably smaller, Romanesque church. Some fragments from this church have been re-used and incorporated in the façade of the later church. The still extant sacristy is also a remnant of this earlier church.

The earlier church was torn down and successively replaced with one more Gothic in style during the 13th century. It was built between 1215 and 1255; dendrochronological examinations have shown that the latest additions were made in 1280. The nave and choir seem to have been erected during a single period of construction, possibly with the exception for the westernmost part of the nave, which is slightly different in style. A tower was evidently planned for the church but never executed. Influences for the somewhat unusual architecture may have come from nearby Roma Abbey and thus the traditions of Cistercian architecture. The church has remained largely unaltered since the Middle Ages. The large western rose window was  however added in the 1880s and the church underwent a renovation in 1902.

The church seems to have had a special function. It was built close to the location of the thing of all of Gotland, and not far from a Cistercian monastery, Roma Abbey. Unlike a regular church, it had five entrances (instead of three) and its architecture differs from other churches on Gotland. The likeness of the church with that of the Dominicans in Visby (now ruined) is noticeable. There is therefore reason to believe that the church may have been used by the Dominicans, possibly to preach for crusades against non-Christians in what is today the Baltic states.

Architecture
The church externally has the shape of a basilica; inside, however, it is a hall church. For this reason it has been called a "false basilica". It is one of the largest on the countryside of Gotland and in fact may well have been the largest when finished. The somewhat larger Lau Church was only finished slightly later. The floor space is circa  and the highest vault reaches around . The vaults are carried by four pillars. The fact that the church lacks medieval murals may be because of influences from nearby Cistercian Roma Abbey.

The interior is characterised by the renovation in Neo-Gothic style from 1902. The interior is relatively dark, and few medieval furnishings survive. The altarpiece and the pews date from 1902. An older altarpiece has been transferred to one of the nave walls; it dates from 1656. A few medieval tombstones are displayed in the church, and the baptismal font is also medieval. Dating from the 13th century, it has no equivalents on Gotland but has more in common with baptismal fonts from Småland and Östergötland from the time.

In the cemetery, there is a bell tower in which three bells hang. Before 1929, these bells belonged to the Swedish-speaking minority village of Gammalsvenskby in Ukraine. A few hundred metres from the church there is furthermore a copy of a farmhouse from Gammalsvensby, built by volunteers in 1977.

title: Furcifer monoceras

text:
The long-nosed rhinoceros chameleon (Furcifer monoceras) is a species of chameleon endemic to Madagascar. It is capable of changing colors, but usually only displays one color all throughout their body. They can be all-orange, all light brown, all-purple, all red with some green lines, and all green with brown stripes.

They have three toes stuck together on one side of their foot, and on the other side, they have two stuck together toes. They rely on camouflage to catch their food with a long sticky tongue. Their tail is prehensile like most other chameleons in the Furcifer genus. They are arboreal.

It is only known from one holotype specimen from Betsako, east of Mahajanga. Long considered conspecific with the rhinoceros chameleon (F. rhinoceratus), a 2018 study of minor details of its morphology indicated that it was a distinct species.

title: The Voice of Holland (season 5)

text:
The fifth season of the Dutch reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, created by media tycoon John de Mol, aired during 2014 on RTL4. Martijn Krabbé and Wendy van Dijk returned as co-hosts, while Jamai Loman replaced Winston Gerschtanowitz as host of the red room. Marco Borsato, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Ilse DeLange and Ali B returned as coaches.

One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.

This season included future Eurovision winner Duncan Laurence, who competed under his real name, Duncan de Moor.

Coaches
For the first time in this show's history, all 4 coaches from Season 4 (Trijnte Oostherhuis, Marco Borsato, Ali B, and Ilse de Lange) have returned for season 5.

Blind auditions
A contestant pool of 150 was narrowed down to 58 artists during the blind audition. The first blind audition episode premiered on August 29, 2014 while the last blind audition episode showed on October 10, 2014. New this year, if an artist does not turn a chair, they must immediately exit the stage.

The Battle Rounds
The battle rounds determine which candidates from each team move on to the live shows. Two (or three) contestants from within a team are paired together to sing the same song, and ultimately, only eight candidates per team advance to the live shows. Continuing from season 4, each coach is allowed to steal one contestant from another coach's team. New for this season is that the studio audience can vote on contestants (through their own mobile phones). They can vote for that contestant  (red vs. blue), thus helping influence the coach's decision on who moves on. Furthermore, since both Ilse and Ali B ended the blind auditions with 15 contestants each, 3 from each team were required to battle and one was taken through, while the others were then able to be stolen.

Live Shows

The Clashes
New this season are the Live Clash Rounds. In the first two live shows have 2 contestants (from the same team) sing 2 songs, going from one contestant to another and then repeating that process one more time. Each coach pairs two contestant to face. Immediately after The Clash gives points [out of 100] to each contestant (ex. 60/40). In the meantime, people can also give points [out of 100] to contestants through calls, text messages or votes via their smartphone or tablet from the free Red Room app during a voting window. All points are added up, and this determines which contestant is the winner of The Clash and continues to live show 3.

Cross Battles/Semi Finals
The semifinal is slightly different than the other live shows. In 'The Cross Battles', the coaches go into battle with contestants from other teams. By a draw, two contestants of different teams were paired. These two contestants competed against each other, but singing their own song. Viewers at home determined the winner of the cross battles. Four finalists were chosen, but the chances were high that a coach would not have a finalist for the final. This happened to Ilse Delange when her remaining two contestants were eliminated.

Finalist performances
After the announcement of the finalists sang finalist his / her winner's single. Then people could download their favorite single by iTunes. During the week prior to the final, people can download their songs, which is worth one vote for that finalist.

title: Lacey Wildd

text:
Lacey Wildd (born Paula Ann Simonds on April 23, 1968) is an American reality television personality, model, and B movie actress, who is well known for her extreme body modifications and bust proportion. Wildd rose to some prominence when she was featured on the MTV documentary series True Life.

Surgeries

Breast augmentations
Wildd has spent over $250,000 on breast augmentation surgeries. Originally an A cup, she has since moved to an LLL cup. To achieve this, Wildd has had 12 separate surgeries. As of mid 2014, Wildd is preparing for a surgery to move to a QQQ cup. To avoid harassment, she has not released the name of the doctor that will be performing the surgery. She has reported that she will be traveling to Brazil, a country well known for medical tourism, to complete the surgery.

To support her breast augmentations, Wildd had to have pig skin sewed inside her abdomen. She stated that "it feels like guitar strings." She has also had to have an internal bra surgery to support her breasts and make sure that her skin could support them.

To sleep, Wildd has to lie at a thirty degree angle, or she feels like she "is being suffocated." At their current size, her breasts weigh 42 lbs together.

In 2014, Wildd's story of her breast augmentations was featured on the E! network's Botched reality series.

Other surgeries
Wildd has had 36 plastic surgery operations, stating, "I want to be the adult Barbie, like the extreme Barbie." She has had her buttocks enlarged, eyes made wider, nose made thinner and a myriad of other procedures.

Business
In 2016, Wildd became a professional psychic, using the name Ghostbusty. She stated, "Everything happens for a reason and I know I was supposed to have huge boobs to help the world one soul at a time.... I had near-death experiences as a child and I think that is what caused me to have these abilities. I once refused to get in a car that crashed and killed the passenger and another time I fell down a well. As long as I can remember I’ve tried to hide this side to me but my ex-boyfriend made me realise it was something to be embraced." She does readings from her home in Dania Beach, Florida.

Personal life
Wildd is the mother of six children. Her daughter Tori has appeared on an installment of True Life, an MTV series, titled "I Have A Hot Mom." Tori, who is opposed to the various surgeries her mother has undergone, has stated, "My life revolves around her boobs." Her son Brandon has stated, "Everything's fake, I think. I think she looked pretty before she even had the surgery."

ABC News reported that Wildd was married by age 16 and divorced with two children by age 21. After her divorce, she worked as a waitress, where she changed her hair color from brown to blonde and got her first breast augmentation surgery.

title: Sea The Moon

text:
Sea The Moon (foaled 27 January 2011) is a retired German Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 2014 Deutsches Derby. He was trained by Markus Klug, and bred and owned by Gestut Görlsdorf.

Background
Sea The Moon is a bay colt bred by Gestüt Görlsdorf and foaled on 29 April 2011. He was sired by Sea The Stars, who was undefeated as a three-year-old, winning the 2000 Guineas, Derby, Eclipse Stakes, International Stakes, Irish Champion Stakes and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Sea The Moon is one of Sea The Stars' first crop of foals, which also includes Oaks winner Taghrooda. Sea The Moon's dam is Sanwa, a daughter of Monsun. Sea The Moon is trained by Markus Klug.

Racing career

2013: Two-year-old season
Sea The Moon only raced once as a two-year-old, when he won a race at Cologne-Weidenpesch Racecourse.

2014: Three-year-old season
Sea The Moon's first race as a three-year-old was the Frühjahrs Dreijährigen-Preis on 11 May 2014. Jockey Andreas Helfenbein sent him into the lead after the field had traveled one furlong. He was challenged in the finishing straight, but pulled away inside the final furlong to win by two lengths from Abendwind. Just over one month later, Sea The Moon started as favourite for the Union-Rennen. He was again sent out into an early lead by Helfenbein, and after being challenged with two furlongs to go, he drifted to the left and pulled clear in the final 100 yards to win by three lengths from Rapido. On 6 July, Sea The Moon started as the favourite for the Deutsches Derby, where he was ridden by Christophe Soumillon. After being drawn wide he soon took the lead. As the field turned into the finishing straight, he crossed the track to race on the opposite side to the rest of the field. In the closing stages of the race, Sea The Moon pulled well clear of the other runners to win by eleven lengths from Lucky Lion, who was a further two and a half lengths ahead of third placed Open Your Heart.

In September, Sea The Moon started the 1/2 favourite for the Grosser Preis von Baden in which he was matched for the first time against older horses. By this time he had been elevated to ante-post favourite for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He led for most of the race but was overtaken in the closing stages and beaten three lengths into second place by the four-year-old Ivanhowe. A few days after the race it was announced that the colt had suffered a recurrence of earlier injury problems and would not race again in 2014. On 16 September it was revealed that the colt, who was receiving treatment at Newmarket's Equine Hospital, would be retired from racing and begin his stud career in 2015 at Lanwades Stud in Newmarket, England.

Honours
In April 2015, Sea The Moon was voted German Horse of the Year, taking 42% of the vote ahead of Protectionist (39%) and Ivanhowe (19%).

title: August H. Vogel

text:
August Hugo Vogel (1862–1930) was vice-president of Pfister & Vogel leather tannery of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Additional involvement
He was president of the Milwaukee University School, chairman of the board of trustees of Milwaukee-Downer College, a director and vice-president of the Visiting Nurse association, a trustee and former president of St. Johns Home for the Aged, and senior warden and treasurer of the endowment fund of St. James Episcopal church. He was a charter member and first president of the University Club of Milwaukee.

He was one of the "industrial leaders of the nation" and attended conferences that lead to the creation of the United States Chamber of Commerce. He was also director of Chamber of Commerce of the United States 1912–1914 his successor was L. J. Petit.

For several years he served as the director of the Tanner's council.
Director of the Milwaukee Association for Commerce.
Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
Regional adviser of the war industries board.
Vice Chairman of Milwaukee County council of defense.
Chairman of Liberty Loan campaigns.

Incorporating the Village of Chenequa
Vogel was instrumental in the incorporation of the village of Chenequa, Wisconsin. Due to his recent testimony in court regarding his village residency, his will was required to be refiled in Waukesha County after he died.

Pine Lake residence on Vogel Bay
His Chenequa residence was designed by Alexander C. Eschweiler.

About half a mile south of the West bay a smaller bay indents the west shore of Pine Lake. On its north shore is the residence designed by Eschweiler and in its rear the Vogel farm and Pauline's Wood Co. property referred to as the clubhouse. The Paulines wood property was the summer residences of Mrs. Emilie Nunnemacher, Mrs. Hedwig Earth and Mr. and Mrs. August C. Helmholz.

This Pauline's Woods property was the former homestead of William Schuchardt, who settled here in 1852, and was sold after his death to the late Rudolph Nunnemacher who named the site after his wife, Pauline. It was then purchased by Frederick Vogel, Senior, in 1885, whose descendants had resided there. It is often referred to as the Vogel Clubouse.

The Vogel Bay site has historical significance because the Potawatomi Indian West Shore Trail passed through the area. At the head of this bay hearthstones and a few flint chips were found in the rear of a small cottage in a spot from which the sod had recently been removed. Others were found on the adjoining cultivated field of the Vogel farm. At least one Indian wigwam was at some time located here. A few flint points and a chert pecking hammer have been picked up in this field.

The former Vogel family summer clubhouse was called Pauline's Woods. Chenequa still has a private road with this name.

Vogel State Park

Vogel State Park of Blairsville, Georgia consists of land donated to create the state park in 1927 by August H. Vogel and his brother Fred Vogel, Jr. The Vogel family harvested bark from oak and hemlock trees located on thousands of acres they owned in North Georgia.  The bark was shipped to Wisconsin and used by the company for tanning leather. During World War I, a synthetic method to tan leather was developed so there was no further need for the north Georgia resources.

title: 1940 Montana gubernatorial election

text:
The 1940 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 1940. Incumbent Governor of Montana Roy E. Ayers, who was first elected governor in 1936, ran for re-election. He narrowly won the Democratic primary by just over a thousand votes to win renomination, and advanced to the general election, where he was opposed by Sam C. Ford, a former Associate Justice of the Montana Supreme Court and the Republican nominee. Ultimately, in spite of the fact that then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt comfortably won the state in that year's presidential election, Ford narrowly defeated Ayers to win his first of two terms as governor.
