title: Renaud Emond

text:
Renaud Emond (born 5 December 1991) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Belgian First Division A club Standard Liège.

Club career

Virton
Born in Arlon, Belgium, Emond began his career at R.E. Virton, where his father was the president of the club. As a result, he said: "At one point Virton had no choice but to ask my father to become president. I told him not to do it but there was no other way. I knew the others were going to look at me wrong, because I was the president's son."

After making his professional debut during the 2009–10 season, Emond scored his first goal on 8 January 2011, which was against La Louvière Centre. Later in January, he scored five more goals, scoring twice against Olympic Charleroi and then a hat–trick against KSKL Ternat. At the end of the 2010–11 season, Emond went on to make 17 appearances and scoring 8 times in all competitions. The following 2011–12 season, Emond suffered an illness at the start of the season but soon recovered and scored his first goals of the season, in a 4–0 win over R.C.S. Verviétois on 2 October 2011. He went on to make 27 appearances and scoring 7 times in all competitions. For his performance, his contract was extended.

The 2012–13 season saw Emond score his first goal of the season, in a 1–1 draw against Royal Géants athois on 9 September 2012. On 2 December 2012, he added his tally to eight when he scored four times, in a 5–1 win over Diegem Sport. As a result, his performance attracted interests from clubs in Belgium but stayed throughout January. At the beginning of 2013, he scored two goals on two occasions, which were against RU Wallonne Ciney and Woluwe-Zaventem. On 27 March 2013, Emond scored another hat–trick, in a 5–0 win over Géants Athois. Later in the 2012–13 season, Emond scored twice on three occasions against Maasmechelen, Tournai and R. Union St-Gilloise. At the end of the season, making 36 appearances and scoring 27 times, Emond helped the side finish first place Belgian Division Three.

During his time there, he reflected about his time on how the club played in the different position. He also played alongside Thomas Meunier, who went on to represent the national team

Waasland-Beveren
On 15 May 2013, it was announced that Emond joined Waasland-Beveren on an undisclosed fee, signing a three–year contract with them. Emond had previously given a choice between Waasland-Beveren or Mons.

After appearing on the substitute bench at the start of the season, Emond made his Waasland-Beveren debut, coming on a late substitute for Hrvoje Čale, in a 1–0 loss against Lierse on 24 August 2013. On 31 October 2013, he scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–2 draw against Standard Liège. After suffering from an injury in late–November, he returned on 21 December 2013, coming on as a late substitute, in a 3–1 win over Lierse. Over the next four months, Emond remained in the first team despite being on the substitute bench and having little playing time. After returning from a hamstring injury in early April, he scored two goals in the match, in a 4–2 loss against Lierse on 26 April 2014. At the end of the 2013–14 season, Emond finished his first season at Waasland-Beveren, making 16 appearances and scoring 3 times in all competitions.

At the start of the 2014–15 season, Emond continued to keep his first team place at the club, where he was played in a 4-3-3 formation. His first goal of the season came on 30 August 2014, scoring in a 2–0 win over Lierse. After being sidelined with an injury, he scored on his return, in a 2–1 loss against KV Kortrijk on 18 October 2014. He then scored two goals in two matches between 29 October 2014 and 1 November 2014 against Gent and Oostende. He later added three more goals in three straight matches by the end of 2014 against Club Brugge, Royal Excel Mouscron and Westerlo. Later in the 2014–15 season, Emond later added seven goals, including twice on two separate occasions against KV Mechelen and Oostende. At the end of the 2014–15 season, he went on to make 34 appearances and scoring 14 appearances in all competitions. For his performance, Emond finished third place in the Footballer of the Year but lost out to Meunier.

In the 2015–16 season, Emond remained in the first team, where he established himself as a striker, as he scored two goals by the end of August against KV Kortrijk and Lokeren.

Standard Liège
On the last day of the transfer window, Emond moved to league rival Standard Liège for an undisclosed fee, signing a five–year contract, and was given a number 9 shirt. Upon joining the club, he revealed that Club Brugge and Anderlecht were interested in him before.

Emond made his Standard Liège debut, coming on as a substitute for Mohamed Yattara in the 59th minute, in a 1–0 loss against Lokeren on 13 September 2015. Two weeks later, on 26 September 2015, he scored his first Standard Liège goal, in a 2–2 draw against OH Leuven. He then scored again on 25 October 2015, in a 3–2 win over Charleroi. Over the next several months, he remained in the first team for the side but struggled to score goals. In addition, he appeared on the substitute bench in number of matches as the season progressed. On 20 March 2016, he came on as a substitute for Adrien Trebel and played the last 16 minutes of the game, as Standard Liège beat Club Brugge 2–1 in the Belgian Cup Final. At the end of the 2015–16 season Emond had made 26 appearances scoring twice in all competitions.

In the 2016–17 season, Emond started his season appearing as a substitute for Ivan Santini in the 59th minute of a 2–1 loss against Club Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup. He missed the start of the season having fallen out of favour with manager Yannick Ferrera and was linked a move away from the club. After returning to the first team against KV Kortrijk on 16 October 2016, he scored his first goal of the season seven days later, in a 5–0 win against his former club, Waasland-Beveren. On 28 November 2016, Emond scored his second goal of the season, in a 4–1 win over Zulte Waregem. Over the next several months, Emond appeared on the substitute bench in number of matches as the season progressed. He scored on 16 May 2017 as well as setting up a goal for Ryan Mmaee in a 3–1 win over Waasland-Beveren. Until the end of the 2016–17 season, Emond went on to make 16 appearances and scoring 3 times in all competitions.

In the 2017–18 season, Emond continued to feature on the substitute bench at the start of the season and then suffered a hip injury. After returning to the first team in early November, he then scored his first goal of the season, in a 3–2 win over KV Oostende in the quarter–final on 12 December 2017. The following month in January, Emond added four more goals to his tally against Zulte Waregem and Club Brugge (hat–trick). By March, Emond began to regain his first team place following the departure of the club's main striker Orlando Sá. As a result, his goalscoring form began to improve for the rest of the season and this was started when he added two goals against KV Mechelen and KV Oostende. Then on 18 March 2018, his goalscoring continued further when he scored the only goal of the game as Standard Liege beat Genk 1–0 in extra time to win the 2018 Belgian Cup Final and qualify for the UEFA Europa League. In the league's Championship play-offs, Emond added five more goals, including against Genk and Anderlecht in two separate matches. At the end of the 2017–18 season, Emond went on to make 34 appearances and scoring 15 times in all competitions.

Despite losing 2–1 to Club Brugge for the Belgium Super Cup, Emond started well when he scored third goal of the game, in a 3–2 win over Gent in the opening game of the season. He continued to establish himself in the first team despite facing competitions, including the return of Orlando Sá.

Nantes
In January 2020, Emond joined Ligue 1 side Nantes having agreed a contract until 2022. The transfer fee paid to Standard Liège was estimated at €3 to 4 million. However, the signing of Emond proved to be a "catastrophe" for Nantes according to observers. He left the club in January 2022, two years after his arrival.

Return to Standard Liège
On 13 January 2022, Emond returned to his former club Standard Liège. It was reported that Nantes had accepted a €200,000 offer from Les Rouches.

title: Ciudad Caribia

text:
Ciudad Caribia is a planned community in Venezuela, located to the west of Caracas.

Community
The city has kindergartens and schools, an adult education programme, football and basketball pitches, a government-run health centre, a government-subsidised bakery and supermarket, and even an industrial area, which is yet to be developed fully. This is in stark difference to the majority of slums in the hills that surround Caracas, where people live in precarious shacks and have long commutes to work.

The community has been criticized for the alteration of green spaces, cost overruns, that some houses could be unstable or have inadequate materials or lack of adequate services, insecurity and difficulty to access a mountainous area.

History
The idea for a new city was developed by President Hugo Chávez in 2006, with the site chosen by Chávez following a malfunction that forced the helicopter he was travelling in to land in the area. It was named after the native Carib people.

The city is planned to have 20,000 residential units and the total population is expected to be over 100,000. Construction started in 2006, although only 2,000 homes had been built by 2013 and the population was 10,000 in 2014. Several dwellings were given to Venezuelan citizens made homeless by flooding in November 2010.

Ciudad Caribia was one of the few places in Venezuela where support for the post-Chávez socialist government remained strong.

title: Quercus (album)

text:
Quercus is a 2013 live album by English folksinger June Tabor, Welsh jazz pianist Huw Warren & English saxophonist Iain Ballamy. It is also the name of the trio project which derived from an earlier collaboration on Tabor's At the Wood's Heart from 2005. Though, Warren has been a pianist and musical director for Tabor since 1988. The recording took place at The Anvil in Basingstoke at the end of a tour in March 2006. Ballamy, who has previously recorded for ECM Records with his experimental jazz duo Food, recalled “the piano was excellent, the acoustics in the hall were good, and nobody coughed.”

Material
Many of the pieces dig deep into the British folk music and are well known traditionals. Furthermore, they fall back to works of William Shakespeare or Robert Burns and George Butterworth and set them into new arrangements for this trio. "This Is Always" by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren remains the only jazz standard while one contemporary song by film composer David Ballantine entered the track list. Additionally the pop songs "Who Wants the Evening Rose" by Les Barker/Yosef Hadar and "All I Ask of You" by American monk Gregory Norbet (an adaption Ballamy previously created with colleague Django Bates for their Loose Tubes) were queued. The timeline concludes with a solo composition by Warren which is inspired by Renaissance composer John Dowland.

Reception

The album has been widely praised by international media while especially Tabor's participation and their interplay gathered profound recognition. The Times has prescinded that "the fusion is magical here as the pair’s subtle embellishments accentuate the force of Tabor’s austere yet soulful delivery on tunes that range from ancient folk to their own." John Kelman at AllAboutJazz points out the interaction saying that "Tabor [is] acting as the focal point around which her partners' improvisational forays ultimately rally". The Observer critic Dave Gelly admitted that "this is one of the most surprising and beautiful pieces of work I have heard in a long time." While John Fordham wrote in The Guardian that "Nobody plays a note too many or expresses a false emotion. It's a unique tribute to the power of song." It peaked the Billboard Jazz Album charts at #34 in 2013. Even the Rolling Stone has called it "One of the year’s very best." Furthermore, it was "Album of the Week" in JazzWeekly and German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

title: Pride parades in South Africa

text:
There have been pride parades in South Africa celebrating LGBT pride since 1990. South African pride parades were historically used for political advocacy protesting against legal discrimination against LGBT people, and for the celebration of equality before the law after the apartheid era. They are increasingly used for political advocacy against LGBT hate crimes, such as the so-called corrective rape of lesbians in townships, and to remember victims thereof.

Johannesburg

The Gay and Lesbian Organisation of the Witwatersrand (GLOW) was founded by gay anti-apartheid activist Simon Nkoli in 1988. The first South African pride parade was held towards the end of the apartheid era in Johannesburg on 13 October 1990, the first such event on the African continent. The first event attended by 800 people was initiated and organised by GLOW, and the crowd was addressed by Nkoli, Donné Rundle, Beverly Ditsie, Edwin Cameron and gay Dutch Reformed Church minister Hendrik Pretorius. In his speech, Nkoli said:

Section Nine of the country's 1996 Constitution provides for equality and freedom from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation among other factors. Over time, the celebration factor came to overshadow the protest factor despite ongoing social issues. The 2012 parade was marred by a clash between activist participants and members of the Joburg Pride organising body, and the organising body disbanded in April 2013 due to internal conflict about whether the event should continue to be used for political advocacy. Two new committees were formed around May 2013. One of them was called "Johannesburg Pride" and would carry on the history of the oldest and largest LGBTQIA Pride in South Africa & (Africa), The other committee would organise a "Johannesburg People's Pride", which is "envisioned as an inclusive and explicitly political movement for social justice". As of June 2019, Johannesburg Pride is the largest Pride event in Africa.

Cape Town

Annual pride parades have been held in Cape Town subject to interruptions since 1993, and as part of the Cape Town Pride event since 2001.

The Mother City Queer Project (MCQP) costume party has also been held annually in Cape Town (nicknamed the Mother City) since 1994.

Other areas
Eastern Cape:
Nelson Mandela Bay Pride has taken place annually in Port Elizabeth since 2011.

Free State:
Free State Pride has been held in Bloemfontein, one of South Africa's three national capitals, since 2012.

title: Merfyn Turner

text:
Merfyn Lloyd Turner (20 October 1915 – 6 August 1991) was a Welsh prison social worker and author. In World War II he
was refused recognition as a conscientious objector, which led in turn to his refusing to submit to a medical examination as an essential preliminary to call-up; for this refusal he was sentenced to three months imprisonment, giving him a life-long concern for prison reform. On release from prison, he was allowed registration as a conscientious objector, and joined the Pacifist Service Unit in Tiger Bay, Cardiff.  In 1944 he moved to the settlement Oxford House, Bethnal Green, joining fellow conscientious objectors Guy Clutton-Brock, John Raven and Peter Kuenstler. In 1954, he opened Norman House as a halfway home for people leaving prison.

He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 30 July 1962.

title: Patrick Cheves

text:
Patrick Gray Cheves or Cheeves (May 16, 1820 – April 21, 1883) was an American farmer from Norway, Wisconsin who served two terms, 1856 and 1878, 22 years apart, as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from Racine County, Wisconsin.

Background
Cheeves was born in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland on May 16, 1820, son of James Cheves, a stonemason, and  Elizabeth (Morrison) Cheves. Due to the poverty of his father and the ill health of his mother, Cheves was sent at an early age to live with his grandmother, and remained there until the age of eight; spent six more years with one uncle working on the farm and as a herdboy and occasionally attending the local schools; then two more years with another uncle, a farmer and small merchant. He left home for Aberdeen, and after many tribulations found employment in a counting house. Returning home, he was welcomed by the family he'd fled, but eventually resolved to emigrate to the United States. Having met one William Smith, a native Scotsman now resident in Pike Grove, Kenosha County, in the Wisconsin Territory who was home visiting friends and family, Cheves accepted Smith's offer of passage money to America, and a job once he arrived there. He traveled in company with three others: Margaret, a sister of William Smith; James Smith, his nephew; and James Duguid, a kinsman of Cheves. They sailed from Liverpool in April 1840, landed in New York City, and proceeded by land and lakeboat, arriving in Southport (now Kenosha) in the Wisconsin Territory, on June 1 of 1840. He worked for Smith until his debt was paid, and then briefly worked on the Illinois and Michigan Canal.

In 1842 he move on to the lead mining district flourishing at and around Mineral Point, Wisconsin. There he worked in a brewery during the winters, while in the summers he worked washing copper ore. While working in the mining country, he became involved in the spontaneous defense of two British-born abolitionist speakers from a rowdy crowd, and developed a lifelong antipathy to slavery. The winter of 1844-45 he worked in a sawmill near Racine. In the spring of 1845 he purchased eighty acres of land in what was then the Town of Yorkville, where he took up the profession of farming. In June 1845, he married Elizabeth Smith of Pike Grove in Kenosha County, like himself a native of Scotland (born February 10, 1822). They eventually had six children, two of whom died in infancy.

Public office and private business
In 1847 the town Yorkville was divided, and the Town of Norway (named after the homeland of many of its settlers) was split off from it. The new town had only nine legal voters, none of whom had previously held public office, and Cheves found himself elected town clerk, an office he held for three years. He was subsequently elected to the town board, holding office for three years, and chairman of the town board, thus ex officio a member of the county Board of Supervisors.

Cheves had been known as a Free Soiler, and was elected to the legislature in the fall of 1855, from Racine County's 4th Assembly district, as a Republican Party succeeding fellow Republican Ebenezer Adams. He served one term, and was succeeded the following year by James Catton, another Republican. In the autumn of 1856 he was elected by the new party as clerk of the board of supervisors of Racine County, a position he held for two years. In the autumn of 1856 his barn, which contained all his crops and farming implements, burnt down with all its contents. During his term of office he speculated in personal loans, often to his profit; but also sustained reverses in that business, and in several years of expensive and vexatious litigation.

In 1863 he was once again elected clerk of the board, a position which he held for four years more. He then purchased a soap and candle factory in Racine, which he conducted successfully for several years, as well as engaging in other branches of business (and continued to operate his rebuilt farm).

In 1869, he was the Republican candidate for Racine County Judge, but was defeated by an independent, Elbert O. Hand (who also received the Democratic endorsement) by 886 votes.

Back to the Assembly
In 1876 he was again elected to the Assembly from Racine County's 2nd District (the Towns of Burlington, Caledonia, Dover, Mt. Pleasant, Norway, Rochester, Raymond, Waterford and Yorkville) as a member of the Liberal Reform Party (a short-lived coalition of Democrats, reform and Liberal Republicans, and Grangers formed in 1873, which had secured the election for two years of a Governor of Wisconsin as well as electing a number of state legislators, but was in the last throes of disintegration. He won 1,194 votes to 1,034 for Jacob S. Crane, the Republican candidate (Republican incumbent John T. Rice was not a candidate). He was assigned to the standing committee on town and county organization, and the joint committee on claims. He was not a candidate for re-election in 1877, and was succeeded by Republican Knud Adland; there was no Reformer (or Democrat) in the race in that district.

Returning home
He died April 21, 1883, at his farm in Norway. Elizabeth lived until July 7, 1902, dying after a fall at the old family farm in Norway; in her obituary, Patrick was recalled as "one of the most prominent farmers and Republicans in the county."

title: Alfred Square, St Kilda

text:
Alfred Square is a park in St. Kilda, Melbourne abutting The Esplanade, it is bounded by low stone walls on the south and west, and crossed by paths. It contains memorials to the South Africa (2nd Boer) War and Victoria Cross recipients as well as a commemorative plaque for the first recorded building in St Kilda.

History

In the early 1800s, the area was known as Custom House Reserve or "Custom Reserve".

In 1861, a bowling green was in use within the reserve, and a tall flagstaff where the council flew the British flag on "every high day, and holiday".

The forthcoming visit to Australia in 1868 of Prince Alfred, second son and fourth child of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha motivated the renaming of many sites including this square park in his honour. In 1867, St. Kilda Council accepted the offer from two local residents to erect "a flagstaff 100 feet high with gaff stays etc." in the Custom House Reserve, to be called the Prince Alfred Flagstaff.  Council also agreed to their request to rename the area as the "Alfred Reserve".

The Prince's first set foot on Victorian soil at St. Kilda and the flagpole was dressed with St. George's Cross at the main, and ensign at gaff.

In July 1868, the Victorian Lands and Survey authorities proclaimed a Crown Grant of "1 acre, 3 roods, 18 perches" "reserved for public purposes". The park was thereafter called Prince Albert Square and often shortened to "Alfred Square".

In 1873, the Planting Committee of the St. Kilda Council recommended "that Alfred Square, occupying as it does such a commanding position on the Esplanade, be enclosed by a dwarf wall, surrounded by handsome iron palings, furnished with suitable gates, and that it be levelled, laid out, and planted." The estimated cost of £1,000 was too much for the council, and the work was not done.

South Africa (2nd Boer) War Memorial

In 1900, residents of St. Kilda held a "God's Speed" gathering in the St. Kilda Town Hall for the 77 young soldiers of St. Kilda who had enlisted in the Victorian Bushmen's Corps for service in the Second Boer War fought in South Africa from 1899 to 1902.

In 1905, St. Kilda Mayor called for a city memorial and £250 was raised through fetes, subscriptions, and entertainments. The memorial was designed by Arthur Peck for no fee and Mitcham Tesselated Tile Co. won the tender to construct.

The memorial is built in brick covered by faience work. The supporting angles are formed to represent the trunks of gum-trees, branching out into leaves and cones under the main cornice, and the roots are shown on a bold projection above the base. Above the main cornice is a cross of a deep golden colour, which stands out clearly from the green tone of the general mass of work. One panel shows the names of the seven soldiers from St. Kilda who died. Two other panels record the names of the 58 who fought the Empire's battles and returned. On the fourth panel is the figure of a soldier, dressed in Australian khaki, and facing the sea. Above the main column is a wrought-iron pillar, supported by brackets, enriched with shields ; and under the golden cross rests a finely executed wreath on each panel.

The memorial was unveiled on 12 March 1905, by the Victorian Governor, Major-General Hon. Sir Reginald Arthur James Talbot, K.C.B. The Sixth Australian Regiment provided a guard of honour of 280 men and the St. Kilda Boys' Naval Brigade played "The Death of Nelson," and the united choirs of All Saints, Holy Trinity and Christ Churches sang the "Old Hundredth," and "God Save the King." After the Governor's speech, he unloosened the Union Jack furled around the Memorial, and the eight buglers of the A.I.R. blew the "Last Post," the soldiers' "Good Night! Good Night!".

Victoria Cross Monument

In 1985, a monument named as the Victoria Cross Monument was erected and dedicated "In memory of all Australians who died in war so that we may have peace".  The monument depicts a white sculpted figure of a soldier bearing a rifle above his head and was designed by Peter Schipperheyn. It lists Victoria Cross recipients from St Kilda including Albert Jacka on the right side and the titles of conflicts with numbers of St Kilda dead on the left side.

Site or First Building in St. Kilda

To the north of the square is a plaque embedded into volcanic rock erected by the City of St Kilda to commemorate the site of the first recorded building in St Kilda which it states to be a "stockman's hut erected circa 1840 by Captain Benjamin Baxter".  In 1842, the first Government plan of the village of St. Kilda showed a hut at the south west corner of the reserve. This hut, the first recorded dwelling in St. Kilda, was likely to have been occupied by a stockman employed by George Thomas and John Enscoe, of the shipping agents, Thomas, Enscoe & James, who had a business at the corner of Flinders and Williams Street, Melbourne. The hut is likely to have been first built during Baxter's lease.

title: Stelljes House

text:
The Stelljes House is a historic house on New Hampshire Route 31 in Goshen, New Hampshire. Built about 1800, it is one of the oldest of a cluster of plank-frame houses in Goshen. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It has possibly been demolished.

Description and history
The Stelljes House stands in a rural area of southern Goshen, on the east side of NH 31. It is a -story wooden structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A brick chimney rises slightly off-center from the roof ridge. The main facade is asymmetrical, with a slightly off-center entrance, two sash windows to its left, and a three-section modern picture window to the right. A gable dormer projects from the rear roof face. An ell extends from the southern portion of the rear of the main block, with a porch in the corner joining the two blocks.

The house was built about 1800, and is one of the oldest of Goshen's cluster of plank-frame houses. The framing is three-inch planking attached vertically to sills, which rests on a rubble and granite stone foundation. Dowels are attached horizontally to give this framing lateral stability. The front facade was probably originally five bays across.

title: KSB SE

text:
KSB SE & Co. KGaA is a German multinational manufacturer of pumps, valves with headquarters in Frankenthal (Pfalz), Germany. The KSB Group has manufacturing plants, sales and marketing organizations, and service operations on every continent.

1896-1945
The mechanical engineer, Johannes Klein, received a patent in 1871 on the boiler feed apparatus he invented, and founded Frankenthaler Maschinen- & Armatur-Fabrik Klein, Schanzlin & Becker with Friedrich Schanzlin and Jakob Becker. From 1887 the company operated as an Aktiengesellschaft (public limited company) with Johannes Klein at its head.

KSB’s first subsidiary outside Germany was founded in Great Britain in 1896, managed by Jacob Klein, the younger brother of Johannes Klein. Between 1924 and 1934 KSB acquired further plants in Germany and set up European subsidiaries. KSB Compañía Sudamericana de Bombas in Argentina was KSB's first subsidiary in the Americas and commenced operations in 1941. During the Second World War, KSB was a major supplier to the armaments industry in the Third Reich and played a key role in the development and manufacture of turbopumps for the V2 rocket.

From 1945-2019
The company's first Asian-Pacific subsidiary was set up in Pakistan in 1953. The companies of Pumpen AG (Homburg), Kleinschanzlin-Bestenbostel (Bremen) and AMAG-Hilpert-Pegnitzhütte AG (Nuremberg/Pegnitz) were amalgamated into Klein, Schanzlin & Becker AG.

In 1960 the KSB-Stiftung (KSB Foundation) was set up with stated aims of encouraging research in the natural sciences and supporting education in technology, natural science and economics. Otto Klein-Kühborth transferred a qualified majority holding of the company's share capital to the KSB-Stiftung (KSB Foundation) in 1964.

KSB took over French pump manufacturer, Paris-based Pompes Guinard S.A., in 1986 and acquired the world’s second-largest butterfly valve manufacturer, Paris-based Amri S.A., Paris, in 1989. In 1988 KSB entered the slurry pumps market with the acquisition of GIW Industries, Inc., Grovetown, USA. In 1990 KSB consolidated the eastern German Hallesche Pumpenwerke GmbH as part of the overall AG. The joint venture KSB Shanghai Pumps Co. Ltd. was founded in 1994. MIL Controls Ltd., Mala (Kerala), India, producer of ANSI valves and control valves, was acquired years later.

In 2003 KSB took over Dutch pump supplier DP industries B.V., producer of pumps made of deep-drawn stainless sheet steel for building services and industrial applications. In the same year, KSB acquired a majority interest in Bombas ITUR, S.A. of Zarautz, Spain, with sales in industry, building services and marine applications . KSB establishes Dalian KSB AMRI Valves Co. Ltd. in the Chinese foreign trade zone in 2004, specialising in the manufacture and assembly of butterfly valves for industrial and building services applications. One year later, KSB acquired the valve business of IVC S/A Indústria de Válvulas e Controles, a Brazilian company whose products are primarily employed in the oil and gas industry, in power stations, paper mills and other industrial applications.

In 2006 KSB received an order for valves to the value of roughly €17 million, its largest valves contract. In December 2006, the 60,000th Eta pump leaves the factory.

In 2007 the Supervisory Board approves a large investment to construct of new halls and modern production and test facilities at the Frankenthal and Halle sites. KSB’s Microchem is the first centrifugal pump for handling the very small quantities in micro-process engineering applications.

In 2008 KSB establishes joint ventures with two Asian companies. The German-Japanese cooperation Nikkiso-KSB GmbH develops and sells canned motor pumps for the European and Middle Eastern markets. The German-Chinese joint venture company Shanghai Electric-KSB Nuclear Pumps and Valves Co. manufactures safety-relevant pumps and valves for the Chinese nuclear power station market.

The German-Chinese joint venture SEC-KSB Nuclear Pumps and Valves Co. Ltd. starts constructing a factory construction in Lingang, near Shanghai, in 2009. 125 employees produce pumps, and later valves, for Chinese nuclear power stations.

In 2010 KSB acquired an 80 percent interest in ITACO s.r.l., an Italian drive specialist, producer of a new kind of energy-efficient motor. The South Korean company Seil Seres Co. Ltd. makes valves for marine applications.

In 2016 KSB AMRI, Inc. was acquired by Bray International, Inc. The acquisition included AMRI's production site and employees as well as the ACRIS and AMRESIST brands.

Market and Locations
Within the KSB Group, centrifugal pumps account for around two thirds of sales revenue. These pumps, as well as valves, are sold to engineering contractors, OEMs and end users or, in some cases, distributed via dealers. The same applies to control and monitoring systems, and to package units with pumps and valves.

The best developed sales market for these products is Europe, where KSB operates its main manufacturing facilities in Germany and France. KSB AG’s main plant in Frankenthal is its largest in Europe, ahead of the production sites in Pegnitz (Bavaria) and Halle (Saxony-Anhalt) in Germany, and La Roche-Chalais in France.

The second-largest market for KSB products is the Region Asia, followed by the Region Americas/Oceania and the Region Middle East/Africa. Outside Europe, KSB’s biggest manufacturing plants are in Brazil, China, India and the USA.

KSB manufactures products and components in a total of 16 countries; they are sold through the Group’s own companies or agencies in more than 100 countries. With their products, the Group companies serve customers in industry including the chemical and petrochemical industries, customers in the energy and construction/building services sectors, transport equipment manufacturers and operators (e.g. ships, rail vehicles), water and waste water utilities, and mining companies. Once again in 2015, the top-selling markets for their products were the industrial and energy supply sectors.

Critical reception
Thom Jurek of AllMusic gave the album four stars out of five, writing that "the band deliver a kinetic, tightrope-without-a-net walking set where new versions stand in stark contrast to originals." Kayla Tinson of Top Country gave the album four and a half stars out of five, calling it "'raw, organic and dirty' in the best possible way." Sarah Greene of NOW gave the album a favorable review, stating that "Lund's best writing is old-fashioned and suits that old-school recording style." Stuart Munro of The Boston Globe also reviewed the album favorably, writing that "it argues for just how good Lund's evocative, regionally rooted songs are, no matter their rendition." Dustin Blumhagen of Country Standard Time gave the album a positive review as well, calling it "a raw recording with a live feel that showcases the extremely talented musicians that make up his band, the Hurtin' Albertans" and "a great gift for long time fans."

title: MasterChef Australia (series 7)

text:
The seventh series of the Australian cooking game show MasterChef Australia premiered on 5 May 2015 on Network Ten.

This series was won by Billie McKay in the grand finale against Georgia Barnes on 27 July 2015. The announcement of the winner was watched by 2.2 million metro viewers, making it one of the most watched shows of 2015.

Changes
Shannon Bennett took on the role of guest mentor, guiding contestants participating in Immunity Challenges, the role Kylie Kwong held in series 6. Unlike the sixth series, the advantage for the Immunity Challenge was now handed to the contestant's choice instead of the chef. The use of the power apron was now reduced to one day in a week only and it passed down to the next contestant who excelled in the subsequent challenge.

Contestants

Top 24
The Top 24 were revealed on 5–6 May 2015. Prior to the first competition round, Mario Montecuollo was disqualified after his five-month professional kitchen experience violated the show's guidelines of the auditions. The producers investigated the contestant's position as a head chef at his bar in Enmore and discovered that Montecuollo had been working one day a week as a paid cook for five months within the past years. Casual participants were allowed to audition without working previously in a professional kitchen for more than six weeks, ruling him ineligible to compete in the show. He was replaced by Jessie Spiby, who had originally missed out on the Top 24 in the second episode.

Future appearances

 In Series 8 Billie McKay appeared as a guest judge for both a Mystery Box and an Invention Test challenge, while Reynold Poernomo appeared as a guest judge for a Pressure Test.
 In Series 9 Reynold appeared as a guest chef for an Immunity Challenge, where he won against contestant Callan Smith.
 In Series 10 Reynold appeared as a guest chef for an Immunity Challenge, although contestant Khanh Ong opted to cook against Series 8 runner-up Matt Sinclair instead.
 In Series 11 Billie was brought onboard one of three mentors for the Immunity Challenges.
 Reynold appeared on Series 12 along with Rose Adam. Rose was eliminated on May 5, 2020, finishing 19th and Reynold was eliminated on July 19, 2020, finishing 3rd.
 Reynold appeared on Series 13 as a guest judge for an elimination challenge.
 Reynold appeared on MasterChef Indonesia (season 5) as a guest judge as well as the brother of judge Arnold Poernomo.
 John Carasig appeared on Series 14  along with Billie, who competed for a chance to win the title for the 2nd time. John was eliminated on May 8, 2022, finishing 21st. Billie won the competition on 12 July, 2022, making her the first contestant ever to win the show twice.

title: Willie Watson (musician)

text:
William Currie Watson (born September 23, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, banjo player, actor and founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show. His debut solo album Folk Singer, Vol. I, was released in May 2014; its follow-up Folksinger, Vol. 2 was released September 15, 2017 on Acony Records. He has appeared at the Newport Folk Festival and other major music festivals. He currently resides in the Woodland Hills district of Los Angeles.

Watson appears as The Kid in Joel and Ethan Coen's 2018 film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, also performing on the soundtrack.

Biography

Early
William Currie Watson was born in Watkins Glen, New York (Schuyler County), and raised there, in Upstate New York, around Ithaca. Growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Watson listened to music on the radio – from Michael Jackson to Nirvana – but also his father's record albums, including The Rolling Stones and Neil Young. He recalls:

He first met Ben Gould in high school and they began playing music together. Around Ithaca and next-door Tompkins County "a lot of old-time fiddle music" was being played, some of it by banjo player Richie Stearns and the group Donna The Buffalo. Watson was exposed to old-time music firsthand at a weekly old-time jam.

Both Watson and Gould dropped out of school and formed the band The Funnest Game, which like Richie Stearns' group The Horse Flies had "clawhammer banjo, electric guitar, drums." Their brand of electric/old-time was heavily influenced by the old-time scene prominent in Tompkins and Schuyler County, New York, including The Horse Flies and The Highwoods Stringband. Performing locally, the young band earned the respect of local musicians and gained a following, appearing weekly at the Rongovian Embassy with Richie Stearns and annually at the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance in Trumansburg, New York.

Future bandmate Ketch Secor described it as a "young folksy kind of jam element acoustic band that was really popular in the southern tier region of New York State." Watson, he says, "was playing shows statewide by the time he was sixteen" with "this group that had some congas and some clawhammer banjo."

Old Crow Medicine Show

Watson met future co-founder of Old Crow Medicine Show Ketch Secor after the latter finished high school in New Hampshire, his band broke up in Virginia, and he enrolled in Ithaca College. Secor brought friend and former bandmate Chris "Critter" Fuqua up to New York State from Virginia. Watson dissolved The Funnest Game while the three assembled musicians around Ithaca, New York "where there is a very lively old-time music scene." According to Mac Benford, Ithaca had for 40 years "been a center of old time music, nationally," including Kevin Hayes They recorded Trans:mission, a cassette of ten songs they could sell on the road.

The group left Ithaca for their Trans:mission tour in October 1998, busking west across Canada. They circled back east in Spring of 1999 and moved into a farmhouse on Beech Mountain, near Boone, North Carolina. They were embraced by the Appalachian community, and their repertoire of old-time songs grew as they played with local musicians."

After being discovered busking in Boone, North Carolina by Doc Watson—while "playing on Doc's old corner" where he'd "started playing in the 1950s" on King Street —the famed folk-country legend said, "Boys, that was some of the most authentic old-time music I've heard in a long while. You almost got me crying." Doc invited the band to participate in his annual MerleFest music festival, founded in 1988 in memory of Doc's son Eddy Merle Watson, who died in a farm tractor accident in 1985, as a fundraiser for Wilkes Community College and to celebrate "traditional plus" music. There they met Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings who introduced them to the Nashville music scene, where they promptly relocated.

Watson performed with the group, writing and singing many of their more notable songs. He left to embark on a solo career in the autumn of 2011, a couple months before Fuqua rejoined the group, citing time on the road, new parenthood, and direction the band was headed as reasons for the split.

Solo career
Watson's transition to solo appearances began slowly with an invitation from siblings Sean and Sara Watkins to join them on a Cayamo cruise—a "singer-songwriter, folk, rootsy festival on a ship around the Bahamas." Sean "took the liberty" of putting Watson on the performance schedule. He subsequently would "go pretty often and ... sing a few songs" at "this little revue called the Watkins Family Hour at Largo" where the Watkins would encourage him to try appearing solo.

In 2012–2013 Watson began appearing in venues in and around Venice Beach, California, making appearances with the John C. Reilly band and John Prine, and opening for acts such as Punch Brothers, Sarah Jarosz, and Dawes. Initially he was performing original music, then realized he got more out of performing the old songs—and his audience seemed to enjoy them more. As he explains:

In 2014, he performed at SXSW in Austin, Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California, Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, Pickathon Music Festival in Oregon, Fayetteville Roots Festival in Arkansas, and Steelfest in Missouri. A tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland takes him to Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, London, and Dublin.

He appears at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville during September. Of his transition to a solo career, Watson says:

In 2018, Willie made his film debut as "The Kid" in the Coen brothers film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. He also performed "When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings" on the film's soundtrack with Tim Blake Nelson – a performance that resulted in an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.

In 2020 Watson appeared as a guest vocalist on the song "Fly Around" by the bluegrass band Water Tower. The song is the second track on their debut album by the same name.

Folk Singer Vol. 1
Watson's debut solo album, Folk Singer Vol. 1, was released May 6, 2014 by Acony records. It was produced by David Rawlings, producer of Old Crow Medicine Show albums. The release features ten songs, from folk standards to "obscure gems." As Watson himself describes it,

Tour stops to promote the album release included dates at Nashville area's Music City Roots at the Loveless Café, New York City's Mercury Lounge, Philadelphia's World Café Live, and Berkeley's Freight & Salvage. Rolling Stone named the album one of The 26 Albums of 2014 You Probably Didn't But Really Should Hear, stating, "Watson's voice carries the weight of generations past, but on Folk Singer, it's still appropriate for the one we live in, right now." Rawlings, who produced the album, said: "Willie is the only one of his generation who can make me forget these songs were ever sung before."

Folk Singer Vol. 2
While at work on the second volume of Folk Singer, Watson stated: "Volume two will be a continuation of Volume one, and consist of old songs." Released September 15, 2017, Folk Singer Vol. 2 was produced by David Rawlings and featured collaborations with Gillian Welch, The Fairfield Four, Morgan Jahnig of Old Crow Medicine Show, and Paul Kowert of Punch Brothers. In its review of the new album, The Guardian states nobody makes "the old songs sound fresher" than Watson, "thanks to a voice that's young but weathered, strong but eerie, and comes backed by intricate banjo and guitar picking."

Watson says of "Samson and Delilah" by Reverend Gary Davis:
Watson makes his first appearance on an Old Crow Medicine Show track since leaving the group on "Miles Away", lead single on Jubilee (released August 2023 through ATO Records).

Films
Watson appeared as The Kid in the Coen brothers' The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018), performing in "When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings." Written by his personal friends and professional colleagues Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, the song came about in an interesting way, as Welch explains:

Coen also said, "They have to be able to sing it together. They have to be able to sing it once [the other character] has been shot and is dead and is floating up to heaven." So it was meant to be a duet between singing cowboys, one of whom is dead.

Watson performed on "Lazy Old Moon" for another Coen film, Hail, Caesar!, from 2016. He performed in "We'll Understand It Better By and By" for the Ben Affleck film Live by Night (2016).

Tours
Watson regularly tours solo and with other acts. In Summer 2016, he toured Australia with Josh Hedley for "a string of joint-headline shows throughout the east coast" of that country, including the Bello Winter Music Festival in Bellingen. The tour included stops in the major cities of Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney where regional "support" acts opened for them—e.g., Imogen Clark, Matt Walker, Freya Josephine Hollick, and Elwood Myre. In Fall of 2016, Watson toured with Aiofe O'Donovan, "captivating" lead singer of Boston progressive string band Crooked Still—with stops in Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia. Featured vocalist on The Goat Rodeo Sessions—a Grammy-winning album by Yo-Yo Ma, et al. – O'Donovan released her debut solo album Fossils in 2013.

Watson appears onstage with Old Crow Medicine Show, as an opening act and with the group, at tour stops in 2023 -- including their annual New Year's Eve show at the Ryman Auditorium.

Influences
Watson started with his father's record collection, which included artists like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, as well as Lead Belly. He later discovered Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music – which helped trigger the folk music revival in the 1950s and 1960s.

The Ithaca-Tompkins County area played host to a number of old-time musicians, including banjo player Richie Stearns whose group The Horse Flies mixed old-time fiddle music with 1980s pop.

Nirvana's Unplugged includes a take on Lead Belly songs "In the Pines/Where Did You Sleep Last Night." Knowing his father had a Lead Belly record in the basement, Watson went and got it out. He says: "Really, that changed everything for me right there. It was all coming together at the same time." After which followed the "alternative scene", like the Pixies and They Might Be Giants.

Vocally, his first influence was Roy Orbison – when he "was, like, 9" – when Orbison had the comeback with "You Got It" and joined the Traveling Wilburys. And he was really into Neil Young, sitting up in his room singing Young songs in "that higher register." When he eventually started listening to old-time and "mountain music," he found that "singing up there, that high lonesome sound, sort of put a little more volume behind it."

All of these influences informed the style and substance he brings to traditional and old-time music. As Watson himself says of his songs:

Instruments
Watson performs on a Larrivée guitar and Gibson five-string banjo.

title: Sergey Durov

text:
Sergey Fyodorovich Durov (, January 15 [O.S. 3 January] 1815 – December 18 [O.S. 6 December], 1869) was a Russian poet, translator, writer, and political activist. A member of the Petrashevsky Circle and later the leader of his own underground group of intellectuals, Durov was arrested in 1849 and spent 8 months in the Petropavloskaya Fortress, followed by 4 years in Omsk prison.

Durov returned from Siberia in 1857, and the ban on his literary activity was lifted in 1862. But, broken physically by his long ordeal, he fell critically ill soon after and died at the age of 54.

Biography
Sergey Fyodorovich Durov was born in the Oryol Governorate in the family of a minor nobleman. His father, an army colonel, died penniless in 1834. The boy's education in the Nobility Boarding school at the Saint Petersburg University (1828-1833) was paid for by his uncle on his mother side, Nikolai Khmelnitsky, a well-known playwright of his time. From 1833 to 1847 Durov worked as a civil servant, before retiring and making literature his profession. Most of his works—poems, short stories and novellas—were  published in almanacs, magazines and newspapers from 1843 to 1849, prior to the arrest.

In late 1847 Durov began attending Petrashevsky's Fridays. In the spring of 1849, dissatisfied with what he saw as the chaotic nature of these meetings, he—along with his friends Alexander Palm and A.D.Shchelkov—organised another underground circle, which included brothers Fyodor and Mikhail Dostoyevsky, Aleksey Pleshcheyev, Nikolay Speshnev, Nikolai Grigoriev, P.N.Filippov, V.A. Golovinsky and F.N.Lvov. The social and economical situation in Russia was taken as the main issue. Among the documents read there was the banned Belinsky's Letter to Gogol, and "The Soldier Talk" (Soldatskaya beseda), the first ever document propagating revolutionary ideas in the Russian army. Four of the circle members, Speshnev, Dostoyevsky, Filippov and Lvov, decided to organize an underground lithograph. Durov disliked the idea and in April 1849 declared his 'evenings' closed.

On April 23, 1849, Durov was arrested and spent 8 months in a single camera in the Petropavlovskaya Fortress. Along with the other Petrashevtsy he was taken to the parade ground of the Semionovsky Regiment in Saint Petersburg, and lined up for execution. At the last moment the execution was stopped and it was revealed that his sentence had been commuted to katorga. Durov, along with Fyodor Dostoevsky, was sent in chains to Omsk, where he was to spend 8 years in a convict colony and the rest of his life as a soldier in Siberia.  That sentence was reduced to 4 years as a Prisoner by Nicholas I.  The sentence only commenced when the convicts entered the Prison at Omsk. Dostoyevsky wrote about his experience as a convict in Omsk in his memoir-novel Notes from the House of the Dead.

After Durov's release he spent one year serving in the army as a soldier, then retired due to ill health and settled in Omsk. Having received permission to leave Siberia, he went to Odessa and stayed at his friend Palm's house. There he died in 1869, after a long illness.

Legacy
As a poet, Durov was noticed by Vissarion Belinsky who reviewed his "Molodik" poem (1844) positively, yet opined that the author was "notable more for his earnestness than talent." Influenced by Lermontov, Baratynsky and Tyutchev, Durov, according to biographer O.Bogdanova, still left several "really exciting pieces, marked by fine sparseness, energy and tightness." Durov translated many poems by Victor Hugo, André Marie de Chénier, Lord Byron, Adam Mickiewicz and is credited with "being the first and, arguably, the best" Russian translator of Henri Auguste Barbier. Durov's short stories had a strong "natural school" component. His sketches (with the exception of "The Auntie" and "Khalatnik") and novellas ("Somebody Else’s Child", "A Novel in Notes") were hardly original, according to Bogdanova.

While Sergey Durov's literary legacy is lean, the strength of his personality made a deep impression upon the people who knew him, particularly Petrashevsky's cohorts (Pleshcheev, N.Grigoriev, A.P.Milyukov) and members of his own circle (Ch.Valikhanov, G.N.Potanin, Viktor Burenin and others). He became the prototype of Rudkovsky (in Alexander Palm's novel Alexey Slobodin), and Sornev (Pavel Kovalevsky's Life’s Summary). Several poets, including Pleshcheev dedicated poems to Sergey Durov.
