title: Big Brother (British series 16)

text:
Big Brother 2015, also known as Big Brother 16 and Big Brother: Timebomb, was the sixteenth series of the British reality television series Big Brother, hosted by Emma Willis and narrated by Marcus Bentley. The series launched on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom and TV3 in the Republic of Ireland on 12 May 2015 and ended on 16 July 2015, a week earlier than planned. This was the earliest launch of a Big Brother series since the show's inception in 2000. It is the fifth regular series and the thirteenth series of Big Brother overall to air on Channel 5, and is the first regular series to air in May since Big Brother 8 in 2007. It is also the first series to air in Ireland since its move to Channel 5 in 2011. On 2 February 2015, it was revealed that Willis had stepped down as a host on the show's spin-off series Big Brother's Bit on the Side, though Rylan Clark will continue.

It is the first and only regular series to credit Denis O'Connor as creative director. On Day 17, Aaron Frew was ejected from the House after flashing fellow Housemate Joel Williams. It is the second series to feature returning housemates after Ultimate Big Brother with Nikki Grahame, Aisleyne Horgan Wallace, Brian Belo and Helen Wood taking part as long-term houseguests.

The series was won by Chloe Wilburn, who won the £116,100 prize fund, the largest prize money in Big Brother UK history. She also won an additional £5,000 during Cash Bomb Week.

Production
The theme of the series was Timebomb, with show bosses explaining that "with Big Brother playing with the concept of time, the tasks, secret missions and twists promise to have tension, drama and intrigue. Time may be a friend or an enemy and for some it may well run out." Emma Willis teased the new theme, stating that "days will turn into nights, time will stop, rewind and tasks will get turned on their heads."

Eye Logo
The official eye logo was unveiled by Channel 5 on 29 April 2015. The eye has a gold metallic structure with a pulsating centre, coinciding with the theme of the series. Lucozade became the new sponsor for the show having previously sponsored the programme on Channel 4 during the tenth series.

House
The Big Brother house was totally revamped for the new series, developing a sophisticated and sleek 'Mad Men' 60s-style theme. Official house pictures were released on 5 May 2015. The kitchen was gold and had a 60's vibe to it; the living room was in the centre of the house and featured a large orange circular seating area to replicate the Big Brother eye; the bedroom was situated next to the living room and had four double beds and six single beds, and there was also a large dressing room and vanity mirror with a large table; the bathroom was coated in dark wood with a rocky glass shower and large bath with an aquatic wall; the garden went for a copper look with an outdoor seating area and a large glass door which leads into the main part of the house – the pool is also considerably larger than previous series', and is situated on its own island; the garden extends up a flight of stairs to a recreational 'sky room', similar to Big Brother 14's treehouse and Big Brother 15's pod.

Pictures of the diary room were unveiled on 11 May 2015, a day before the launch of the series. The egg-shaped chair has a red leather seating, cradled by a gold exterior. The wallpaper on either side of the room each resemble a clock face to replicate the interior of the Elizabeth Tower in London.

Housemates

Ahead of the launch, on 7 May 2015 it was announced that the official list of Housemates would be released two days before the series begins. This was the first time that the Housemates entering was made public knowledge prior to the launch night; in previous series', the Housemates would be unveiled live on the night. Keeping with the Timebomb theme, a countdown began at 00:01 on 8 May 2015 on the official website. It ended two days later on 10 May, and the identities of fifteen Housemates were unveiled. 15 Housemates entered the House on Day 1. Three new housemates entered the house on Day 18.

House guests
Following the eviction on Day 25, Willis revealed that former Housemates would be returning on Day 32 as part of "Time Warp" week, joining a fake-evicted Housemate in the "Secret Lair", also known as the "Timebomb Bunker" for 48 hours. The returning Housemates will then enter the main house on Day 34 as "House guests". As well as these three, a number of other faces from Big Brothers past will return to the House to take part in classic tasks and twists. On 12 June 2015, hours before the fake eviction, it was confirmed that Brian Belo, Helen Wood and Nikki Grahame would be re-entering the House. These three were originally meant to leave the House on Day 39 but Big Brother decided to extend their stay for an extra week. On Day 43, Brian voluntarily left the House by climbing over the garden wall. On Day 44, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace entered the House as the fourth Time Warp Housemate. On Day 46, Helen and Nikki both left the House. Shortly after this, Emma revealed that more famous faces would return to stay in Big Brother's Hotel from Hell. These guests included John McCirick, Charley Uchea, Jasmine Lennard, James Jordan and Dexter Koh.

 Cash Bomb
On 29 June 2015, it was confirmed that there would be a "Cash Bomb" twist for the penultimate week although exact details were not revealed. On Day 53, following Marc's eviction, Emma announced that as part of the twist, the £150,000 prize fund would be put at risk.

title: Infinity Cat Recordings

text:
Infinity Cat Recordings is an independent record label founded in 2002 and based in Nashville, Tennessee. The label has released recordings from artists including JEFF the Brotherhood, Diarrhea Planet, Be Your Own Pet, Ed Schrader's Music Beat, and Daddy Issues. In 2011, the label was highlighted by British publication The Guardian, which wrote "forget the Grand Ole Opry; there are more thrilling new bands in East Nashville than anywhere else on earth [and] so many of their records have been released on the same label, Infinity Cat."
In 2011, Billboard Magazine listed Infinity Cat among the 50 best indie labels in America.

History
Infinity Cat Recordings was created on July 20, 2002 by brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall and their songwriter father Robert Ellis Orrall.  Jake and Jamin were 16 and 14, respectively, when they created the label. The label's first release was a live album called Tusky Mahloo by the brothers' band The Sex, which later turned into JEFF the Brotherhood. Since its inception, the label has released almost 100 albums from bands like JEFF the Brotherhood, Diarrhea Planet, Natural Child, PUJOL, and be your own PET. Infinity Cat has been described as one of the more influential labels in the Nashville rock scene, with Nashville Lifestyles describing the label as "Infinity Cat is to Nashville's garage rock as Sub Pop once was to Seattle's grunge: a label so intertwined with—and accountable for—a hyper-buzzed scene that it's naive to mention one without the other." In their recap of the label's history, the Nashville Scene wrote that "long before Third Man Records opened its doors on Seventh Avenue, Infinity Cat had already become the heart through which Nashville's punk-rock arteries pumped their noisy, vibrant blood — helping make the city synonymous with a raw, restless strain of rock 'n' roll, and doing it on almost no budget."

In 2011, Infinity Cat and JEFF the Brotherhood signed a deal with Warner Music Group. Warner Music A&R representative Ryan Whalley told Billboard Magazine that the deal was "a little different than how we usually work with bands" because the band would "maintain a foot in both Warner and Infinity Cat." In an interview with The Tennessean, Jamin stated that the boys originally had reservations about teaming up with Warner, as they felt that they did not need any help, given their success running Infinity Cat. Ultimately, they decided to sign a deal with Warner that would give them "substantial creative control," as well as wider distribution. According to Robert Ellis Orrall, starting with We Are The Champions, JEFF the Brotherhood releases would receive global distribution from WMG's Alternative Distribution Alliance under the Warner/Independent Label Group umbrella.  Later that year, Infinity Cat was listed as #10 in Billboard Magazine's "Business Biz: 50 Best Indie Labels in America.
Infinity Cat celebrated its 10th anniversary with two concerts on July 20 and 21, 2012. At the July 20 show, Metro Councilman At-Large Ronnie Steine read Resolution No. RS2012-339, which proclaims July 20 to be Infinity Cat Recordings Day in Nashville as "it is fitting and proper that the Metropolitan Council recognizes Infinity Cat Recording on its 10th anniversary as one of Nashville's best independent labels."

Artists
Some of the bands signed to the label include:
Be Your Own Pet
Daddy Issues
Denney & The Jets
Diarrhea Planet
Ed Schrader's Music Beat
Music Band
JEFF the Brotherhood

Visitors' Center
Infinity Cat operates a "Visitors' Center" retail store at their headquarters. The Visitors' Center was opened as "a response to requests from fans who have wanted to stop by when they're in Nashville," and sells recordings, merchandise, and label-related rareties.

title: Toronto-Buffalo Royals

text:
The Toronto-Buffalo Royals were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT) founded by John F. Bassett and John C. Eaton, III. The team was sometimes referred to as the Buffalo-Toronto Royals. The Royals played half of their home matches in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the other half in Buffalo, New York, United States. The Royals played only one season before being sold and moving to Hartford, Connecticut after the 1974 season. The team was contracted by WTT on February 1, 1975. The Royals had 13 wins and 31 losses, and finished in last place in the Central Section missing the playoffs.

Team history
The Royals were founded by Canadian businessman and retired tennis player John F. Bassett and merchant John C. Eaton, III as a charter member of WTT in 1973. Originally, WTT granted the franchise to Toronto. The team began play in WTT's inaugural 1974 season. The Royals played half of their home matches at the CNE Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the other half at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo, New York, United States. While WTT identified the team as the Toronto-Buffalo Royals in its official standings, the team was sometimes called the Buffalo-Toronto Royals by the Canadian media among others. The team identified itself as the Toronto-Buffalo Royals in its media guide and promotional materials such as team pennants.

The Royals' main attraction was player-coach Tom Okker. However, Okker's contract allowed him to be excused from his commitment to the Royals when he had opportunities to play in ATP or Grand Slam tournaments. So, Okker was effectively a part-time player. The Royals struggled to a record of 13 wins and 31 losses, last place in the Central Section.

On October 16, 1974, team president Bassett announced that the Royals had been sold to Bert Hoffman and Phyllis Morse who said that they would move the team to Hartford, Connecticut.

At the WTT owners meeting on February 1, 1975, each team was required to post a $500,000 letter of credit. Since the Royals failed to do so, the team was contracted by WTT. A dispersal draft was conducted to distribute the players among the remaining teams in the league.

title: Crazy Bird

text:
Crazy Bird () is an indoor steel roller coaster at Happy Valley Tianjin, an amusement park in Dongli District, Tianjin, China. The coaster has the steepest drop of any roller coaster in the world.

Overview and features
Built by S&S – Sansei Technologies, Crazy Bird is one of six "El Loco" model roller coasters in the world. It is also an indoor coaster, and has been cited by Funworld Magazine as an example of the increased prevalence of indoor coasters that occur in Asia versus coasters on other continents. Funworld Magazine argued that this is due to climatic factors involving the rainy season in much of Asia. The coaster has occasionally been marketed to take advantage of the Angry Birds franchise (the Chinese characters "愤怒" mean angry and not crazy), but the theming for the coaster does not fit the Angry Birds style.

Crazy Bird is most notable for the steeper-than-vertical (120-degree) drop on its first hill, giving the coaster one of the steepest first drops in the world. The coaster also has sharply banked turns, as well as two inversions (a dive loop and an inline twist). Park guests ride the coaster in individual 4-seat cars which have onboard speakers. Crazy Bird is the only El Loco coaster in Asia.

Incidents
On 26 July 2014, an incident occurred where four riders were stranded  above the ground. Park staff failed to restart the train and the riders were forced to exit on foot. Reports indicated that a similar event had occurred in early April of the same year.

Reviews
Theme Park Investigator identified the coaster as number 5 in the top 5 most anticipated roller coasters for 2013.

Archaeological records confirm the existence of a Roman settlement in the nearby Šiprage (in the sixth century or earlier), while tufa stećci has testified to the Old Bosnian (Bogomils) settlement in the twelfth century. T

In the seventh century this area was populated by South Slavs who were mixing all this with the natives until the present day.  The autochthonous population of  "Dobri Bošnjani" (Good Bosnians) in Kruševo Brdo and Šiprage area were et least in majority. The first Bosnian State was established in the 10th century.

In the medieval ages, Kruševo Brdo belonged to the old state of Bosnia,  province of Donji kraji (Lower regions), and after it was occupied by the Ottomans (1519).

In 1878 to power come from the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy  and remain until the occurrence of the First Yugoslavia.
The primary intention of the Austro-Hungarian Administration (1878–1914) by the construction of the narrow-tracks railway line was that, with the mediation of the national Government in BiH, it intensifies the exploitation of forest and other natural resources. The railroad came from Kotor Varoš, and in the area of Šipraga is diverse in several directions. From The Kruševo Brdo are two-tailed went to stripes:  along Vrbanjia and Bobovica upstreams. The route along the Vrbanja is made via the Kilavac to the Čekrk  ("winch handles" )  and then – after transport locomotives, using the spacious spindle (in the gorge between Šepirice) – up to Riječica (1300 m). Branching with Bobovica was passing through the village of Bobovice, and between Pašinac and Palike to Srebrena brda (Silver Hills; according to Meokrnje mountain), i.e. to the mouth of the stream Krna (921 m).
On the trackbed of deconstructed tracks, they later built the local road for the many Šiprage's villages.

After the 1 December 1918,  Kruševo Brdo was in Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians, and Kingdom of Yugoslavia (to 1941).
During 2nd World War, the nearby Šiprage was a powerful stronghold and a sanctuary more partisan units, including 12th Divisian Hospital  (in the Gorge of Demićka), serviceing its 5th Corpus.
In contrast, Kruševo Brdo was strongly Chetnik stronghold. One of the last Chetnik gangs in Bosnia liquidated several years after the War. It was on the locality Divič.

On 7 January, entered the Centre Šiprage, where are the others up to 15 January 1944. Even though area of Šiprage was and left out the most important they, the more times it is bombed, with attacks of Germans and Chetniks forces, including the units of Draža Mihailović. Deep river cliffs on the slopes of the Brestovačea (between Zlovarići and Dunići villages, i.e. Dunići's rocks) was hardly noticeable for the German aviation.  During so called „ 6th Enemy Offensive"  in Bosnia, former Yugoslavia, the 12th Division's Mobil Hospital were established, for theirs 5th Corpus (1943/1944).  This hospital was in two baracs and few dwelling pits. It was survived to tactics dislocation on other places (4 January 1944). That was in spite of multiple Luftwaffe's bombing on nearby Šiprage (because unprecious localizing of main target – the hospital).  As a precaution the Hospital it was dispersed into the surrounding villages and further to Korićani. Then it was about 600 injured and patients moved into the surrounding villages, including service at the Čudnić and Kruševo Brdo.

title: Ukraine News Today

text:
Ukraine News Today was a Ukraine-based private English language satellite television channel, then webcasting service. The channel, which was owned by the Ukrainian 1+1 group and headquartered in Kyiv, presented round-the-clock news bulletins aimed at the overseas news market. The General Producer was Tetiana Pushnova.

In April 2016 it was announced that satellite broadcasting would be stopped, to become an online-only service.  Prior to that it was an international satellite television channel. On 26 December 2016, it was announced that its parent company 1+1 was shutting down the online service on 1 January 2017.

History
In the midst of the Revolution of Dignity and Euromaidan, which saw major political change in Ukraine, as well as a surge of perceived anti-Ukraine propaganda from Russia, and in particular from channel RT, Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskiy, owner of one of the largest media groups in Ukraine, 1+1 Group, switched the focus of his first 24-hour news channel from Jewish matters to Ukraine, before relaunching as Ukraine Today. Kolomoyskyi stated that "Ukraine Today is our contribution in support of Ukraine's European choice".

Previous ventures
The channel has its origins in two previous English-language news channels owned by 1+1 Media and its majority shareholder Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi; Jewish News 1, which closed on 22 April 2014, and the intermediary channel Ukraine News 1 which closed in June 2014. Ten journalists of Jewish News 1 then moved over the new channel.

Launch of Ukraine Today
Ukraine Today began broadcasting on 14 August 2014, with a live stream on YouTube and broadcast via the Eutelsat Hot Bird satellite, displaying a testcard and scrolling text giving information on how to receive the channel. The channel officially launched on Ukrainian Independence Day, 24 August when it began broadcasting news content.

In 2014 Ukraine Today was operated by the UNIAN TV company.
In September 2014 Ukraine Today moved programming to a fully functioning studio, with presenters and interviews, following the original plans.

In October 2015 Ukraine Today launched in English on the Virgin Media platform, alongside its sister channel 1+1 International, being the first Ukrainian TV channels to broadcast to the United Kingdom. The Ukrainian embassy in London then joined the channel in 'officially launching' in the UK that December. It was already available in Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and in Washington D.C. on the MHz Networks cable system.

Closure
Less than a year later, in April 2016, it was announced that satellite broadcasting of Ukraine Today would be stopped as a cost saving measure. It would move to being an online-only service.
On 26 December 2016, it was announced that the online-only service would be shut down on 1 January 2017. In its final press release Ukraine Today stated its "main purpose was to counter information war waged on Ukraine by Russian propaganda media outlets" and that it had "fulfilled its mission". Most of the staff, including Ukraine Today's Tom Bell, moved to the Ukrainian broadcaster UA TV.

Format
According to the channel, its primary focus is on Ukrainian current affairs, with additional editorial focuses including EU expansion and integration, Russian relations with Europe and America, the defence of European values in both Ukraine and within the EU itself, and the challenges of nation-building in the 21st century.

Ukraine Today started broadcasting Euronews style content on 14 August 2014.

title: Anne Hollander

text:
Anne Helen Loesser Hollander (October 16, 1930 – July 6, 2014) was an American historian whose original work provided new insights into the history of fashion and costume and their relation to the history of art. She published numerous books on the history of fashion, modernity, and the body including Seeing Through Clothes and Sex and Suits.

Early life
Hollander was born Anne Helen Loesser in Cleveland, Ohio. She was the only child of pianist and music historian Arthur Loesser and his wife Jean Bassett, a sculptor. Hollander's mother taught her to sew and make her own clothes. Hollander received a degree in art history from Barnard College, New York, graduating in 1952.

Career
Hollander moved in academic circles but never joined a college or university faculty. She became an independent scholar, researching and writing on the history of fashion and costume. Her work was both erudite and original, providing new perspectives on areas that previously had not been considered or had been regarded as unimportant. Her first book was Seeing through clothes (1978; reprinted 1993) where she insisted on talking about cloth and drapery before talking about clothes.

Hollander describes the relationship between dress and art as follows: "In a picture-making civilization, the ongoing pictorial conventions demonstrate what is natural in human looks; and it is only in measuring up to them that the inner eye feels satisfaction and the clothed self achieves comfort and beauty". And she extends the point to the conception of the naked body: "It can be shown that the rendering of the nude in art usually derives from the current form in which the clothed figure is conceived. This correlation in turn demonstrates that both the perception and the self-perception of nudity are dependent on a sense of clothing – and of clothing understood through the medium of a visual convention". "Thus all nudes in art since modern fashion began are wearing the ghosts of absent clothes – sometimes highly visible ghosts".

In her second book, Moving pictures (1991), Hollander divided post-1500 paintings from Europe and the United States into the cinematic and non-cinematic. In Sex and suits (1994), she analysed the male suit and its function. In 2002, Hollander helped organise the exhibition "Fabric of Vision: Dress and Drapery in Painting" at the National Gallery in London, for which she wrote the catalogue. Her interest, as with other works where she considered painting, was not in the techniques used by artists to depict clothing, but in what those depictions revealed about the changing idea of the human body underneath. Hollander's thesis was always that clothes reveal more than they conceal. She held to this view even when considering the burqa worn by Muslim women, which she saw as revealing many details if one looked closely.

Starting in the 1970s Hollander was a regular reviewer for The New Republic, the London Review of Books, the New York Review of Books, and other periodicals, and in the late 1990s she was the fashion columnist for Slate. She was a fellow of the NYU New York Institute for the Humanities and  was president of the PEN American Center in the 1990s.

Personal life
Hollander married the poet John Hollander in 1953. They were divorced in 1977. They have two daughters: Martha Hollander, a poet and art historian, and Elizabeth Hollander, a literary scholar. In 1979, Hollander married the philosopher Thomas Nagel. Nagel commented on his wife's meticulous attention to detail about her own appearance: "She thought it was an art" he said, adding that she believed people should check their appearance from all angles: "She thought you should always use the double mirror before you leave the house".

Death
Hollander died from cancer at her home in Manhattan. At the time of her death, she was working on a book about costume in literature, from Homer to the present.

As with many other NBL teams, they owed their name to an industry of their hometown, in this case the Willys Jeep Plant.  They played their games at the University of Toledo Field House.

The 1946–47 team featured players such as Chips Sobek, Hal Tidrick, Jule Rivlin and rookie Paul Seymour.  Rivlin served as the player-coach. It went 21–23 and qualified for the playoffs, where it lost to the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons.  It would, however, be invited to the 1947 World Professional Basketball Tournament, where it finished 2nd.

In the 1947–48 NBL season, Sobek, Tidrick and Rivlin returned, and were joined by Dick Mehen and Harry Boykoff.  The team finished with a record of 22–37 and missed the playoffs.  The 1948 season proved to be the Jeeps' last; they were replaced for the NBL's final campaign with the Waterloo Hawks, who inherited Mehen and Boykoff.

title: Doug Seegers

text:
Douglas Seegers (born c. 1952 in Long Island, New York, United States) is an American country music artist, guitarist and songwriter.

Life and work
Seegers graduated from West Islip High School and started playing music in New York and Austin, Texas, before moving to upstate New York, where he married and raised two children. Eventually, he went alone to Nashville, where he played on the streets and became a regular at The Little Pantry That Could, a West Nashville charity that holds regular songwriter nights. He lived as a homeless struggling musician.

On 17 December 2012, Aaron Espe, an American singer-songwriter and record producer based in Nashville, uploaded a live 1 minute 11 second rendition of Seegers singing "Going Down to the River" on his own YouTube account. Espe entitled his upload "Who Is Doug Seegers?". The video did not pick up much reaction.

Seegers became known to the Swedish public when he appeared on the Swedish TV show Jills veranda,  presented by Jill Johnson, on 5 March 2014. Jills veranda was a 6-episode SVT TV series recorded in Nashville, in which Johnson and six Swedish artists explored the city. At the time the program was recording, its Johnson, her guest Magnus Carlson and the production team from Eyeworks met Seegers who was sitting on a park bench in Nashville. Minutes earlier, Johnson was buying food from a street vendor and the latter, hearing she was filming a documentary about music in Nashville, recommended that they listen to a street musician across the street telling her, "You have to hear him, he has the most unique voice in country music." Johnson went to Seegers who performed his own song, "Going Down to the River". Johnson and Carlson loved his performance so much that they returned some time later and offered to record the song with him in Johnny Cash's old studio in Nashville.

Seegers gained instant popularity after the episode was broadcast. His Facebook account was inundated by new Swedish fans and "Going Down to the River" was number 1 on the Swedish iTunes Charts for 12 consecutive days. The track also appeared on Johnson's album, Livemusiken från Jills Veranda Nashville, which topped Sverigetopplistan, the official Swedish Albums Chart, and was certified gold.

Seegers was offered a recording contract with Lionheart Music Group resulting in the release of his first album also titled Going Down to the River on Lionheart Music Group. It was released on 28 May 2014. The album had collaborations from Emmylou Harris in a cover of Gram Parsons' hit "She" and Buddy Miller, a friend of Seegers' from his Austin days, in "There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight". The album was produced by Will Kimbrough. Seeger's album also reached number one in the Sverigetopplistan chart on 5 June 2014, its first week of release and again on the 14 August 2014 chart. It was certified gold. Seegers was engaged on a 70-gig summer tour of Sweden and appeared at Stockholm Music & Arts 2014, a music festival in Sweden.

In March 2015, he released a joint album with Johnson, In Tandem, on the Capitol Music Group / Universal Records label.

title: Bar Beach, Lagos

text:
Bar Beach is a beach on the Atlantic Ocean along the shoreline of Lagos, situated on Victoria Island. For a time, it was the most popular beach in Nigeria especially when Lagos was the capital of the country.

1970s to 1990s: Firing squad venue
From the early 1970s to the late eighties, during the military regime, Bar Beach was a site where many convicted armed robbers and coup plotters were executed by firing squad. It was always a public spectacle, with thousands of spectators, including television cameras and print journalists.

The first-ever public execution in Nigeria took place at Bar Beach in 1971. It was of Babatunde Folorunsho, for armed robbery. Others include Joseph Ilobo, Williams Alders Oyazimo, and Lawrence Anini and Dr. Oyenusi in the 90s.

The convicted plotters of the coup of February 1976 that killed General Murtala Mohammed, including Major-General I D Bisalla and Col. Buka Suka Dimka, were also shot by firing squad on Bar Beach.

1980s to 2000s: Flooding
Over many years, Bar Beach developed a reputation for overflowing its banks and claiming lives and property. Many times, the Ahmadu Bello Way, the road closest to its banks, was closed for safety reasons. Studies showed that between eight and fourteen meters of beach-front was eroded annually along Bar Beach.

2000s to present: Eko Atlantic
In 2003, the idea for a modern city on the Atlantic coast was publicly discussed. It would be sited on what used to be Bar Beach, out of reclaimed land. It would be called Eko Atlantic City, a residential and business district “standing on 10 million square metres of land reclaimed from the ocean and protected by an 8.5 kilometre-long sea wall"

In 2008, the construction of the new city began.

As of May 2009, while the site was being dredged, about 3,000,000 cubic metres (3,900,000 cu yd) of space had been sand-filled and placed in the reclamation area, while about 35,000 tonnes of rock have been delivered to the site.

In 2016, Eko Atlantic City was commissioned by Lagos governor Akinwumi Ambode.

Eko Atlantic and continuing flooding
The Eko Atlantic project has been criticized for having a design flaw that may contribute to continuing flooding in Lagos because of its being "highly susceptible to rising tides, as it is based on an artificial sandbar directly adjacent to the ocean." A storm surge in the exact area where the Eko Atlantic's construction was taking place reportedly killed 16 people. There have been other equally dangerous flooding in Lagos blamed on the new construction project.

In popular culture
Nnedi Okorafor's 2014 novel Lagoon is set in an alternative near future where Bar Beach is a thriving entertainment district and the site of first contact between humans and extraterrestrial visitors.

Environmental and Climate Issues
The Lagos bar beach has faced several environmental issues and climatic issues over the years. Prominent among those issues is consistency flooding as a result of the negative effect of the change in the earth`s climate. In order to contain the flooding, erosion and other environmental issues around the beach, the Federal Government of Nigeria, has for the last forty years, spent over thirty billion naira on several projects aimed at improving the environment.

title: Sunny Girl (song)

text:
"Sunny Girl" is a song written by Benny Andersson, which was recorded and released as the Swedish rock group Hep Stars tenth single in March 1966. Their second original song after "No Response", it was the song which made Andersson believe in himself as a songwriter, with support from their manager Åke Gerhard. As a result, almost all singles by the Hep Stars following "Sunny Girl" are original compositions.

Nonetheless, the single became a huge success in Sweden, reaching number 1 on both Kvällstoppen and Tio i Topp, their first to do so since "Bald Headed Woman" in mid-1965. It was the Hep Stars only top-10 single outside of the Nordic countries, as it reached number 4 in the Netherlands in 1968. Another Swedish group, the Telstars, reached Svensktoppen with a translation of the song in September 1966. Andersson has since stated dislike for the lyrics.

Background
In 1965 alone, the Hep Stars had accumulated six top-10 singles, of which three were number ones. However, most of this material were covers, and the band had been heavily criticized by Swedish media and other bands for this. So Andersson introduced them "No Response", which was his first composition. The song was a success, reaching number 2 on Kvällstoppen in October 1965. However, the following single was "So Mystifying" written by Ray Davies of the Kinks, which once again brought them back to recording covers as singles, largely because Andersson was not satisfied with "No Response", which made him doubt his songwriting talents. "So Mystifying" and the follow-up, "Should I", still became hits on Kvällstoppen, reaching number 5 and 2 respectively.

Hep Stars were still doing heavy touring across Sweden during this time, but as they were almost equally as successful in Norway, they embarked on a tour there as well. On 10 February 1966, they arrived at Vinger Hotel, Kongsvinger. After unpacking and checking in to their rooms, the band sans Andersson went to the restaurant inside the establishment. Andersson however, went to the ballroom of the hotel, lit up several candles and started playing his piano. After several hours, he had come up with the melody of "Sunny Girl". In comparison to "No Response", "Sunny Girl" was a huge leap forward for the band, because unlike the rock and roll influenced "No Response", "Sunny Girl" drew inspiration from Classical music and is as a result baroque pop.

"Sunny Girl" was reportedly inspired by Andersson's girlfriend at the time, who was Norwegian. It was not originally a slow-drawn out ballad. Andersson had envisioned a faster version of the song. However, Hep Stars sound engineer Gert Palmcrantz suggested that he'd play the spinet, something he agreed on and promptly slowed down the arrangement of the song. Andersson later admitted that he was heavily influenced by classical music on both "Sunny Girl" and the follow-up "Wedding". "Sunny Girl" was introduced to their manager Åke Gerhard, who saw great potential in Andersson as a songwriter, and who liked the track. It was recorded in March 1966 at Europafilm Studios with Palmcrantz producing.

Release and commercial performance
The band did not initially agree on releasing "Sunny Girl" as a single, as drummer Christer Pettersson and guitarist Janne Frisk weren't too fond of the slow-baroque sound that the single had produced; all their previous singles had been high-tempoed rock or rhythm and blues recordings. However, Andersson, singer Svenne Hedlund and bassist Lennart Hegland liked the song. The members would eventually agree for the single to be released, and in March 1966, "Sunny Girl" was released by Olga Records with the catalogue number SO 21.

Heavily promoted, the single entered Kvällstoppen on 15 March 1966 at a position of number 15. The following week it had for the first time entered the top-10, at number 7. The week after it had reached number 6 and on 5 April it had reached the top-5 for the first time, at number 3, almost a year after their first charting single. On 12 April, it reached number 1 on the charts, a position which it held for 5 weeks, before finally leaving on the week ending 17 May where it was at number 2, a position it held for two weeks. The week after, it had ascended to number 4, with number 5 following the next week. On 14 June, it had exited the top-5 for the first time at number 8, and the following week it left the top-10 at number 12. "Sunny Girl" was last seen on the chart on 28 June at a position of number 14. In total, the single spent 16 weeks on the charts, of which 13 were in the top-10, 10 were in the top-5 and 5 at number 1. The single was equally successful on Tio i Topp, where it was voted number 1 on 2 April, a position it held for six weeks. In total, the record stayed on Tio i Topp for 14 weeks, their most successful single on that chart.

After being played repeatedly on Radio Luxembourg, the single gained traction in the Netherlands almost two years later. For most international releases outside of the Nordic countries, they were issued by Decca Records, but with few exceptions as they were issued by Olga in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the single was backed by "No Response". The single entered the charts on 13 July 1968 at a position of number 18. The following week, it had reached number 14. On 27 July, it had reached the top-10 for the first time at number 8. The following week, it entered the top-5 for the first time and reached its peak of number 4, a position which it held for two weeks. On 17 August, the single had exited the top-5 at number 10, a position it also held for two weeks. The single was last seen on 31 August at number 17 before exiting the chart. In total, it spent 8 weeks on the chart, of which 5 were in the top-10 and two were in the top-5. "Sunny Girl" became the Hep Stars only successful release outside the Nordic countries, as clashes between Olga Records and Decca Records hindered virtually any records to be released outside of the Nordics, successfully terminating their international career.

The single was also hugely successful on Norway's chart, VG-lista, and became their first charting single on there since "Bald Headed Woman" The single entered the chart at number 9 on 16 April 1966. The following week, it had reached number 8, a position it held for two weeks. On 7 May that year, it had climbed to number 6, and by the following week it had entered the top-5 for the first time, at its peak of number 4. The following week it ascended to number 5, before once again reaching number 4 on 28 May that year. The week after it ascended to number 6, a position it held for two weeks, and was last seen on the chart on 18 June that year at a position of number 7. In total, the single spent ten weeks on the chart, of which all were in the top-10 and three were in the top-5. The B-Side of "Sunny Girl" was a cover of the Beach Boys "Hawaii", which was recorded as a joke (in similar fashion to that of their debut single "Kana Kapila"). A reversed single sleeve which by accident meant that "Hawaii" became the A-side was released. This release managed to actually chart on Kvällstoppen before being recalled. It entered the chart on 15 March 1966 at number 15 before reaching its peak of number 7 the following week. It exited that same date after only two weeks on the chart.

Reception and legacy
Upon British release, the single gained favorable reviews. In a review for Record Mirror, Norman Jopling and Peter Jones considered the song "open", noting the harpsichord found on the song. However, they also found the song unoccupied.

In retrospect, Benny Andersson has stated that the writing of "Sunny Girl" made him physically feel good inside, and made him believe in himself as a serious songwriter after it reached number 1 on Tio i Topp. Realizing that it had reached number 1, he started crying. On a bench in a dressing room in Kungsbacka, Andersson decided to dedicate his life to songwriting after this. He has stated that the feeling of physical gratification has been achieved every time he writes a song, ever since "Sunny Girl". Andersson stated that "Sunny Girl" was the first song which he wrote that he considered good, as opposed to "No Response" which he considered throwaway. In a review for his Andersson's 2017 solo album Piano, Jens Peterson of Aftonbladet writes that "Sunny Girl" easily could have been included on the album as it fits right in with the moody, baroque melodies present on the album.

"Sunny Girl" caused a resurgence in Hep Stars popularity, gaining them their first number 1 since "Bald Headed Woman", and led the following singles "Wedding", "Consolation" and "Malaika" to also reach number 1. However, Andersson has stated that he was not satisfied with the lyrics, which he comprehends as misogynic. Nonetheless, "Sunny Girl" became a huge hit, and is together with "Cadillac" and "I Natt Jag Drömde" considered to be Hep Stars signature songs. Svenne Hedlund, Hep Stars frontman and lead singer, has on multiple occasions stated that "Sunny Girl" was his favorite recording by Hep Stars. Although not released on the original version, "Sunny Girl" was issued on the 1996 remaster of their eponymous second studio album (and third overall released) The Hep Stars.

 Another Swedish rock band, the Telstars, recorded the song and released it as a single in mid-1966 with the alternate title "Fröken Sunny Girl" ("miss Sunny Girl"), with "En Liten Snobb", (a Swedish translation of the Kinks "Dedicated Follower of Fashion") as the B-side. This release charted on Svensktoppen on 17 September 1966 at a position of number 10, which it held for one week before being replaced by "Kristallen den fina" by the Wayfarers.

Frank Rajah Arase (born Frank Rajah Efosa Arase) is a Nigerian film director. Arase is a native of Edo State, Nigeria. He was nominated for Best Director at the 4th Africa Movie Academy Awards.

Early life
Arase was born in Benin City, Edo, Nigeria. He grew up in Lagos where he started his film career.

Career
Arase ventured into the show business at a very young age. He started out as a theatre practitioner in Nigeria; he was a dancer for National Theatre troupe and also acted in stage plays. He met Nollywood actor and director Paul Obazele, who groomed him in the film industry. He initially was an actor, featuring in films such as Scores To Settle, After School Hours. His love for being behind the scenes drew him into directing his own films. After directing a few films in Nigeria, he agreed to direct a film for Ghana's production company, Venus Films, after turning down previous attempts made by the Company. He directed the film titled Official Prostitute in Ghana and continued to make films in Nigeria after that.

Eventually, Abdul Salam Mumuni of Venus Films proposed a two-year contract to Arase, which involved introducing Ghanaian actors into the mainstream Nollywood film industry and making them have a star power comparable to Nigerian actors. Ghanaian actors that became famous through this collaboration include: Jackie Appiah, Van Vicker, Majid Michel, Nadia Buari, John Dumelo, Kalsoume Sinare and Kofi Adjorolo amongst others. The contract was extended for another two years which led to the introduction of more actors like Yvonne Nelson, Juliet Ibrahim, Frank Artus and Martha Ankomah. Films produced during this period include: Mummy’s Daughter, Beyonce, Heart of Men, The Game, Who Loves Me?, Princess Tyra, The King is Mine, Agony of Christ, Crime to Christ and many others. The films are co-produced with Arase's production company, Raj and Heroes Films. After his contract with Venus Film expired, he continued with his own productions through his outfit, which has since released notable films such as Somewhere in Africa and the film Iyore.

Personal life
Arase is the second child of the family. He is married to a Sierra Leonean lady and his family is based in Nigeria. Arase is currently based in Accra, Ghana and Lagos, Lagos State.

title: Étienne Biéler

text:
Étienne Samuel Biéler (3 February 1895 – 25 July 1929) was a Swiss-born Canadian physicist who made important advances in the study of the strong interaction that holds the atomic nucleus together.

A graduate of McGill University, he worked at the Cavendish Laboratory, where he studied the atomic nucleus under Sir Ernest Rutherford and James Chadwick. A 1921 paper with Chadwick has been hailed as "marking the birth of the strong interactions". In his doctoral thesis, Biéler explored the strong interaction, and showed that it varied with the fourth power of the distance.

Biéler returned to Canada, where he was appointed assistant professor of physics at McGill. He became interested in geophysics, and he attempted to develop electrical methods for detecting hidden bodies of ore. He was given two years' leave from McGill to participate in an Imperial Geophysical Experimental Survey to try out various methods of ore detection. While in Australia he became ill and died of pneumonia on 28 July 1929.

Biography

Early life
Étienne Samuel Biéler was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 3 February 1895, the second of five sons of Professor Charles Biéler and Blanche Merle-D'Aubigné. His father Charles was Director of Collège Gaillard and his mother Blanche was the daughter of the historian Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubigné. His younger brother André Charles Biéler later became a famous painter and professor of art at Queen's University. The family lived in Paris for twelve years before emigrating to Canada in 1908, where Charles became Professor of Theology at the Presbyterian College in Montreal.

Biéler entered McGill University, which awarded him his Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree on Mathematics in 1915. During the First World War, he enlisted in the 38th Battalion (Ottawa), CEF on
29 March 1915. He transferred to Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry on 17 July 1915. On  23 February 1916 he transferred to the Canadian Field Artillery, joining the 3rd Field Artillery Brigade on 23 February 1916, then the 12th Field Artillery Brigade on 28 June 1916, and finally the 1st Field Artillery Brigade on 20 March 1917. He was wounded twice, on 3 August 1916 and again on 29 April 1917, and rose to the rank of lieutenant. During the later part of the war, he worked in the Anti-Submarine Division of the British Admiralty, on methods for locating submarines.

Nuclear physics
After the war Biéler resumed his education, earning a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Physics from McGill in 1920. He was awarded 1851 Research Fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 to study at Caius College, Cambridge, and joined the Cavendish Laboratory as a research student. There worked with Sir Ernest Rutherford, studying the bombardment of the atom with alpha particles. A 1921 paper with James Chadwick on The Collisions of Particles with Hydrogen Nuclei, has been hailed by Abraham Pais as "marking the birth of the strong interactions".

Biéler's insights into the strong interaction that bound the atomic nucleus together were presented in hisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD) thesis, titled The Law of Force in the Immediate Neighbourhood of the Atomic Nucleus, which he completed under the supervision of James Chadwick in 1923. In his thesis, Biéler attempted to explain the apparent breakdown of the inverse square law in the vicinity of the nucleus. By studying the scattering of alpha particles by aluminum and magnesium, he showed that the strong interaction varied with the fourth power of the distance.

Geophysics
Returning to Canada, Biéler accepted an appointment as assistant professor of physics at McGill. He became a member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada of 1924, although he never conducted any research into astronomy or astrophysics. He developed an interest in geophysics, and attempted to develop electrical methods for detecting hidden ore bodies, carrying out experiments in northern Quebec and Ontario in 1926 and 1927.

This research attracted widespread attention, and the Empire Marketing Board established an Imperial Geophysical Experimental Survey to try out various methods of ore detection, with Arthur Broughton Edge as its director. Biéler was given two years' leave from McGill to become its deputy director. After negotiations between the Empire Marketing Board and the Australian government, it was agreed that the survey be conducted in Australia rather than Canada or South Africa.

Biéler arrived in Australia in July 1928, and inspected areas in South Australia before moving on to Western Australia, where he was joined by Alexander Ross from the University of Western Australia and Alexander Rankine from Imperial College London. In July 1929 Biéler took a train to Northampton, but only got as far as Geraldton when he fell ill. He was taken to Geraldton Hospital, where he died of pneumonia on 28 July 1929. His papers are in the McGill University archives.
