Football
Pickford played eleven games with Hawthorn in Victorian Football Association (VFA) over the period 1922–1924. In the middle of the 1924 season he transferred to Hawthorn Juniors and played in the losing Grand Final team in the Junior Competition. It was during this period that Pickford started being referred to as "Jack" (presumably derived from the Hollywood star of the time, Jack Pickford).

Pickford rejoined Hawthorn as they entered in VFL competition in 1925. He played in their first ever VFL match and appeared consistently through their first four seasons in the League. He was selected as part of a League representative team in 1927.

title: Cape Santiago

text:
Cape Santiago (, ) is the southwestern point of the island of Luzon located within the municipality of Calatagan in Batangas, Philippines. It is a cape at the southern tip of Calatagan Peninsula which faces the South China Sea to the west and Pagapas Bay, an arm of Balayan Bay, to the east. The cape has been the site of a navigational aid since the 1890s.

Cape Santiago is located about  southwest of Manila. It is administratively part of the barangay of Bagong Silang.

Geography
Cape Santiago is located about  southeast of the Port of Calatagan where ferries bound for Lubang Island operate. It is  high, wooded, and fringed by a drying reef extending  offshore. There are depths of  at the edge of the reef, increasing steeply to more than  deep about  offshore.

A dangerous coral rock lies  southeast of the cape in the Verde Island Passage known as Minerva Rock, named after an Australian ship that struck on it in 1834.

A lighthouse marks a low rocky promontory about  west-northwest of the south extremity of the cape. A conspicuous windmill stands about 0.4 mile east-southeast of the lighthouse.

Cape Santiago Lighthouse

The lighthouse at Cape Santiago is the oldest structure in Calatagan built in the 1890s during the Spanish colonial period. Made of brick and lime cement, this red round structure is  tall modeled after the medieval castles in Europe. It is currently in a deteriorated condition with its original light source missing, replaced by an automatic light bulb donated by the Japan International Cooperation Agency that is no longer being used due to lack of funding.

title: Kill the Moon

text:
"Kill the Moon" is the seventh episode of the eighth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. It was first broadcast on BBC One on 4 October 2014. The episode was written by Peter Harness and directed by Paul Wilmshurst.

Set in 2049, the episode has the school teacher Clara (Jenna Coleman), student Courtney Woods (Ellis George), and astronaut Lundvik (Hermione Norris) facing a time-sensitive moral dilemma over whether to kill a giant creature under the surface of the Moon—which is an egg, inside which the creature has been slowly growing—or to let the creature hatch, the three of them being uncertain what will happen to the people on Earth.

The episode received polarising reviews from television critics, though Coleman's performance and the final climactic scene between Clara and the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) received universal praise. Whilst some critics acclaimed the episode and labelled it the best of the season, others criticised the scientific inaccuracy and thematic content.

Plot
The Twelfth Doctor takes Clara and her student Courtney on a trip to the Moon. They arrive in 2049 aboard a space shuttle filled with nuclear bombs on a crash course for the Moon. Captain Lundvik explains her crew is on a suicide mission to destroy the Moon; the Doctor deduces from the gravity that the Moon's mass has increased, causing massive high tides everywhere on Earth.

They travel to a nearby mineral survey base, finding the miners dead, entombed in webbing. The Doctor notices from the miners' photographs that the Moon is starting to break apart. They are attacked by a spider-like creature that kills Lundvik's crew, but the disinfecting spray Courtney brought kills the creature. The Doctor finds the presence of amniotic fluid near a crevasse outside. Returning to the base, the Doctor asserts that the Moon is and always has been an egg containing a giant creature growing inside, ready to hatch, with the spider being one of thousands of bacteria under its surface. Lundvik becomes even more insistent to blow up the Moon, unsure of the nature of the creature that might hatch.

The Doctor leaves Clara, Courtney, and Lundvik in the base to decide the creature's—and Earth's—fate. Lundvik primes a remote trigger for the nuclear bombs set on a timer. The three argue what to do and conclude by letting Earth's population decide. Clara pleads over broadcast channels for Earth to decide the fate of the creature by leaving their lights on to allow the creature to live, or turning off their lights if they should destroy it. They see the lights on Earth turn off over the next hour. At the last second, Clara changes her mind and stops the countdown. The Doctor arrives shortly afterwards, assures they have made the right choice, and evacuates them from the Moon as it starts to crumble.

The winged creature inside the Moon hatches from its shell and flies off. It lays another egg that becomes a new moon. The Doctor reveals that the sudden interest in the Moon will reinvigorate Earth's space program. Clara berates the Doctor for forcing her to make a decision on the fate of humanity, while the Doctor asserts he cannot be allowed to make those choices himself. Clara tells the Doctor she does not want to see him again, and takes comfort with Danny in the present.

Continuity
The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) uses a yo-yo to test the Moon's gravity inside the shuttle. The Fourth Doctor used the same method to test gravity in the Nerva space station in The Ark in Space (1975). According to executive producer Brian Minchin, Capaldi had requested the yo-yo to be similar to the one that Tom Baker had used before.

The Doctor tells Clara that "Earth isn't my home", echoing the Fourth Doctor's statement in Pyramids of Mars (1975) that "The Earth isn't my home, Sarah. I'm a Time Lord. I walk in eternity."

In "The Fires of Pompeii" (2008), the Tenth Doctor says that as a Time Lord, he can see both fixed and mutable points in time. The Twelfth Doctor says the same thing here, but that there are "grey areas", points in time for which he cannot see the outcome.

The Doctor claims that Courtney will meet "this bloke called Blinovitch". This refers to the Blinovitch Limitation Effect, first mentioned in the Third Doctor story Day of the Daleks (1972).

Production

Writing
The episode was originally written for Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor. An early working title for the episode was "Return to Sarn" (the name of the planet where a previous serial also shot in Lanzarote, Planet of Fire, was set); however, this was intended to be misleading. While briefing Harness on how to write the script, executive producer Steven Moffat told him to "Hinchcliffe the shit out of it for the first half", meaning, essentially, to make it frightening. This was in reference to Philip Hinchcliffe, who produced Doctor Who from 1974 to 1977, a period of the classic series that is recognised as especially frightening. Moffat called the script "intense and emotional". Harness said that the episode would see a large change for the show. "I still don't know how people will take it. I'm in this kind of limbo now waiting for people to see it, and I've no idea, really I do not know how it is going to go down."

Filming
Filming for the episode took place in Lanzarote, near the Volcán del Cuervo (Raven's Volcano) in Timanfaya National Park. The last episode to be filmed there had been 1984's Fifth Doctor serial Planet of Fire. Filming took place on 12–13 May, while the park was closed to visitors, with locals reporting that "they've erected a huge marquee, have trailers, toilets and a van". Filming also took place at Aberavon Beach in Port Talbot on 21 May.

Casting
Tony Osoba previously appeared in the classic serials Destiny of the Daleks (1979) and Dragonfire (1987).

Broadcast and reception
The overnight viewing figures were estimated at 4.81 million. The episode was watched by a total of 6.91 million viewers. On BBC America, 0.94 million viewers watched the original broadcast. The episode received an AI score of 82.

Critical reception

"Kill the Moon" received polarising reviews. Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club labelled the episode an instant classic, and Simon Brew of Den of Geek called it one of the show's very best, while Ewan Spence of Forbes found it poorly written with weak characters and themes. However, critics were unanimous in their acclaim for Jenna Coleman's performance and the final sequence in the TARDIS.

Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Ben Lawrence noted that "'Kill the Moon' was an excellent example of Doctor Who reaching out to different generations, something it hasn't always done in recent weeks." He felt Coleman was "terrific" and that Capaldi added further layers of complexity to his character. Lawrence stated that the guests were underdeveloped, but concluded that, "it lacked the clever-cleverness that has marred recent episodes and proved how good Doctor Who can be when it simply tells a story." Dan Martin, writing for The Guardian, stated that "Clara's outburst was the next stage in what I have loved about this series most of all. More than ever before, they're playing out the reality of running off to fight aliens with a time-travelling space detective. And, guess what, this life is not all wine and roses." Martin noted that Coleman has been terrific all series, stating that: "We no longer need to make note of just how good Jenna is this year; she’s already established herself in the pantheon of all-time great companions."

Writing in The Independent, Neela Debnath praised Coleman's performance, articulating that she "impressed again with her fury as she held the Doctor to account. This is the grown-up assistant the Time Lord needs to keep him in check" and ultimately closed her review by saying "'Kill the Moon' was an enclosed space adventure with all the claustrophobia that an episode like this demands [...] It was hardly the strongest episode of the series but it was no car crash either." Patrick Mulkern heavily praised the episode, awarding it a perfect 5/5 in Radio Times. He also praised Coleman's performance, stating that "Coleman expertly conveys Clara's terrible dilemma – and later her tearful fury at the Doctor's behaviour". He described the episode's writing as "audacious, highly imaginative, and is well matched by Paul Wilmshurst's supremely eerie, cinematic direction", and closed his review by noting "Portentous dialogue, sharp direction, urgent music and a powerhouse performance from Peter Capaldi make this one of the defining moments of the season".

Brew affirmed that "Doctor Who hits top form with 'Kill the Moon'. And Jenna Coleman has never been better". He also praised Harness' script as "impressive" and said that Wilmshurst "fully understands that slowing things down and making little moments count is the key to crawling under people's skins". He closed his review by saying "The best Doctor Who episodes have something to say, get under your skin, and keep you pretty much gripped until the end credits roll. 'Kill the Moon' certainly did that, with us heading for a rewatch as soon as it was done. It has a good science fiction story underneath it, a strong dilemma, and real consequences". Wilkins also reacted very positively to the episode, awarding it an A score praising almost every aspect of the episode, but particularly the focus on character development. He said "'Kill the Moon' is the second time this season that Doctor Who has genuinely surprised me. That fact, above all else, is why tonight’s episode rates as an instant classic" and went on to praise the episode's final scene, saying that "Maybe the whole Moffat era is going to be defined by that final scene in the TARDIS, in which Clara delivers the most blistering rebuke we have ever seen any companion give the Doctor". He ended his review by claiming that "This season is already a return to form, but 'Kill the Moon' could help turn it into something truly special".

For IGN, Matt Risley labeled the episode as "The best Capaldi Who yet" and awarded it a score of 9.3/10, deemed "Excellent". He praised almost every aspect of the episode, saying "Dramatic, thought-provoking, gorgeously shot, dryly hilarious and consistently compelling, 'Kill the Moon' was easily the best episode of the season so far, and we'd even put good money on it staying that way come the end of November". He also praised Coleman's performance as "explosive and mouth-gapingly compelling" and summarised the episode as "grown-up sci-fi at its best".

In contrast, some reviewers criticised what they perceived to be plot elements alluding to the abortion debate and, moreover, how the issue was dealt with in the script. In a separate review for The Independent, Ellen E. Jones described the episode as "perhaps the weakest so far... The grey moon surface provided an uninspiring backdrop for what amounted to a galactic metaphor for the pro-choice debate". Spence described the script as "leaden and heavy... the lack of consequences to [Clara's] decision left the episode with a hollow ring." The review praised Capaldi's and Coleman's performances, but concluded that "'Kill the Moon' wasn't good drama, it delivered false controversy, and it did not respect the debate it was trying to start in the viewers at home."

For The Escapist, Elizabeth Harper gave the episode one-and-a-half stars and felt it was "a mess of pseudoscience". She summarised that "This episode is a string of scenes that don't make a lot of sense, but are vaguely held together by virtue of the fact that they all happen on the same channel in the same one-hour period." She added finally that "The last scene, however, is genuinely good."

Other reviews were also critical of the episode's lack of scientific accuracy, mainly about the Moon. Writing for Slate, Phil Plait remarked, "The science mistakes were so egregious and so obvious that they kept pulling me right out of the story. A lot of the mistakes were fixable with a simple Google search." In his review for Doctor Who TV, Clint Hassell had a similar objection. While he praised both the actors' performances and the story's ability to "examine aspects of the human condition", he said the episode was "also terrible, presenting a version of science so incorrect that it almost creates a new genre – 'not-so-science fiction'". Though part of the fun of the show is "obviously make-believe, sciencey-wiencey facts and jargon", he believed that, "When [The Doctor] states blatantly wrong science 'facts' because the writer couldn't be bothered to think rationally, or consult a scientist, that makes the Doctor look like an idiot, and...ruins part of the believability of the show."

title: Robinsons Novaliches

text:
Robinsons Novaliches (formerly known as Robinsons Place Novaliches and Robinsons Nova Market) is a shopping mall in Fairview owned and operated by Robinsons Malls, the second largest mall operator in the Philippines. This mall was opened on November 9, 2001. It is the second mall by Robinsons Malls in Quezon City after Robinsons Galleria. It has a total floor area of .

Redevelopment and expansion
In 2008, Robinsons Place Novaliches was renamed to Robinsons Nova Market. Robinsons Department Store was closed then Bargain Exchange was replaced and several stores pulled out and it opened an opportunity for micro-retails. In 2010, Robinsons Movieworld Novaliches closed Cinemas 5 to 8 being rented by some Christian Churches inside the mall. Examples of some Christian churches that rented Cinemas 5-8 are Word of Hope Christian Church which occupies Cinemas 5 and 6 and Victory Christian Church which occupies Cinema 7. In 2012, Cinemas 1 to 4 has permanently closed and it is open for rentals for some Christian Churches and for others.

The mall had undergone major renovation and expansion against Ayala Malls' Fairview Terraces and SM Prime Holdings' SM City Fairview. The said expansion houses over 200 micro-retail shops and bargain stores selling apparel, shoes and bags, novelty and gift items and gadgets; food court, Trade Hall, and al fresco dining restaurants. It was opened on May 29, 2015. It added another  to the  square meters so it will have a total floor area of  square meters. And eventually after the expansion, it was renamed as Robinsons Novaliches.

Moreover, Robinsons Digiworld was opened at the Level 2 of the Main Mall which occupies the old location of some bargain things and a passport office of the Department of Foreign Affairs called DFA CO NCR-North was also opened at the Level 3 near the former Robinsons Movieworld Novaliches in November 2016.

title: Nocturnes (Satie)

text:
The Nocturnes are a set of five piano pieces (initially planned as a set of seven, but left unfinished) by Erik Satie. They were written between August and November 1919. With the exception of the Premier Menuet (1920), they were his final works for solo piano, and are considered among his most significant achievements in the genre. The Nocturnes stand apart from Satie's piano music of the 1910s in their complete seriousness—lacking the zany titles, musical parody, and extramusical texts that he typically featured in his scores of the time. The completed set of five nocturnes takes about 13 minutes to perform.

Background

Much had transpired in Satie's personal and professional lives in the two years since his previous keyboard piece, the Neoclassical spoof Sonatine bureaucratique (1917). There was the fallout from the scandalous premiere of his ballet Parade (1917), including his conviction of criminal libel (from which he narrowly escaped imprisonment) for sending insulting postcards to one of its critics, Jean Poueigh; his bitter estrangement from longtime friend Claude Debussy, and Debussy's subsequent death; and the completion of the work which he believed represented the best of himself: the "symphonic drama" Socrate (1918). Ridiculed by the French press and dogged by chronic poverty, Satie fell into a depressed state that reached its nadir in August 1918, when he wrote to Valentine Hugo, "I shit on Art, it has 'cut me up' too often." He then proceeded to break with the Nouveaux jeunes group of musicians he had recently founded—an act that set the stage for their eventual regrouping as Les Six. By the summer of 1919, his creative energies had revived, though his spirits remained hard-bitten and gloomy: "I have changed a lot during these last months", he mused to singer . "I am becoming very serious...too serious, even." Such feelings may have steered him to the nocturne form itself—the province of Chopin, evocative of the night, and usually quiet and introspective—and affected the way in which the project developed.

Composition

Satie's notebooks reveal that he initially intended to present the Nocturnes with the whimsical literary humor that the Parisian public had come to expect from him. The first piece had the working title Faux Nocturne and was accompanied by one of those little stories he enjoyed writing for the pianist's private amusement:

The night is silentMelancholy is all-pervasiveThe will-o'-the-wisp disturbs the peaceful landscapeWhat a bore! It's an old will-o'-the-wispTrust him to comeLet us resume our reverie, if you will

But he soon abandoned the text and satirical nomenclature, choosing instead to let the Nocturnes stand as pure music. He also wrote them using conventional bar lines, a practice he had largely eschewed in piano music for nearly 30 years before returning to it—perhaps with a dash of irony—in his Sonatine bureaucratique.

On 24 August 1919, Satie informed Valentine Hugo: "I am coming to the end of my Third Nocturne. I am dedicating it to you. The three of them are not at all bad. The first serves as a prelude; the second is shorter and very tender—very nocturnal; the third, yours, is a more rapid and dramatic nocturne, a little longer than the first. Between the three of them they form a whole with which I am very pleased—though the first is the least good." This assessment was premature; Satie was not satisfied with Nocturne No. 2 until the following month, and he continued to tinker with No. 3 until October—by which time he was developing ideas for additional pieces in the series. Nos. 4 and 5 are dated October and November 1919, respectively.

Publication and performance

The printing of the Nocturnes was split between two of Satie's regular publishers;  issued Nos. 1–3 in late 1919, and E. Demets published Nos. 4 and 5 in 1920. Demets also advertised a Nocturne No. 6 without a price, indicating it was a work in progress—but the piece would not appear in the composer's lifetime.

Satie dedicated each of the completed five to a patron or proponent of his music:

 Doux et calme (Soft and calm), to Marcelle Meyer
 Simplement (Simply), to André Salomon
 Un peu mouvementé (A bit hectic), to Valentine Hugo
  = 92, to Countess Étienne de Beaumont
  = 60, to Madame Georges Cocteau

Nocturne No. 1 was premiered by Jane Mortier at the Salle Pleyel in Paris on 18 March 1920; Nos. 1–3 were performed by Ricardo Viñes during an all-Satie concert at the Salle Érard on 7 June 1920. Nocturne No. 4 was not heard until 4 January 1923, when it was played by Jean Wiener at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Nocturne No. 5 was performed sometime in 1921 by Marcelle Meyer.

Reception

The Nocturnes caused no immediate stir, although at the Viñes performance, Jean Cocteau and Les Six members Darius Milhaud and Louis Durey expressed their enthusiasm. Given Satie's reputation as a musical humorist, the audience may have been unsure if it was having its leg pulled. But they have long been prized by Satie aficionados. John Cage championed them in the United States after World War II, and they inspired choreographer Merce Cunningham's ballet Nocturnes (1956), in which the dances were created using chance procedure. Rollo Hugh Myers, Satie's first English-language biographer (1948), ranked the Nocturnes with a handful of Satie compositions that are "outstanding and cannot be ignored by any student of contemporary music." He continued: "The Nocturnes are in a sense the natural corollary of Socrate, which preceded them by a year, and are conceived in the same gravely austere mood. The style is chastened, simplified, uncompromising in its rejection of any sensuous appeal, but the music is strangely impressive in its bleakness and almost inhuman detachment." The Nocturnes have never enjoyed the mainstream popularity of the Gymnopédies or other Satie piano works; although they have been recorded by such artists as Aldo Ciccolini, Pascal Rogé, and Jean-Yves Thibaudet, they remain—according to John Keillor's AllMusic review—"among the undiscovered masterpieces of the twentieth century."

Posthumous Nocturnes

Shortly before his death in 1925, Satie told Robert Caby that the manuscript of his Nocturne No. 6 was virtually complete and might be published someday. Six decades later, musicologist Robert Orledge examined Satie's notebooks from the period and discovered a single, full draft of a piano piece, missing only two bars of the left-hand part. Orledge completed a performance version, and it was published as Satie's Nocturne No. 6 in 1994. Speculative versions of a Nocturne No. 7, based on a 12-bar sketch in Satie's notebooks, have been created by Orledge and others.

Rangil water treatment plant is situated on rangil mountain of Ganderbal district about 21 km from commercial centre of Kashmir.
 The water project was inaugurated by Farooq Abdullah on 15 March 2010 and its cost was estimated as Rs 31 crore.

Construction

The project was completed by Economic Reconstruction Agency (ERA) and was handed over to Public Health Engineering department of Kashmir on the same day. The main aim of the project was to provide fresh drinking water to the people of Srinagar. The construction company under Rangil water supply project has liad 51.63 km long pipeline which has been tested for efficiency across the city .

Features
The filtration plant has water storing capacity of 10 MGD (million gallons per day). The water in the plant comes from Sind River which runs through the heart of Ganderbal district. The water treatment plant is also installed with electromagnetic and mechanical flow meters at the control room of the plant and at bifurcation points  to regulate water supply as per demand.

Treatment process
The water entering the plant at the first place undergoes screening and after that alum is added to aid sedimentation.  The setter water enters  10 filtration units from where it is transported for disinfection using chlorine in disinfection unit. The water thus obtained is stored in storage reserviours for supply purposes.

title: Don't Shit Your Pants

text:
Don't Shit Your Pants is a browser-based text adventure game created by Canadian developers Teddy and Kenny "Rete" Lee for Cellar Door Games. The objective of the game is to use a text prompt to prevent a balding man standing beside a closed door in pajama bottoms and an undershirt from defecating inappropriately. It was the first title released by the Lee brothers, receiving positive critical reception.

Gameplay
The game is "A Survival Horror Game" and is presented in a single room, and features a balding man standing beside a closed door in pajama bottoms or pajama pants and an undershirt. The main objective is to prevent a balding man from defecating in his pajama bottoms, and use the toilet behind the door, using a text prompt to enter in commands; the game starts upon the player entering the word "play". Up to ten achievements may be awarded for players experimenting with different ways for a balding man to defecate, providing incentive for outcomes other than the main objective.

Development
Don't Shit Your Pants! was the first title that the Lee brothers released on the internet, as well as the first release by their company, Decade Studios, before they changed the name to Cellar Door Games. Kenny Lee explained that he had only started developing games seriously around the time of its release, although he had toyed with the concept for a while. The two were the sole developers of the game upon its creation; after receiving "incredible feedback" on it, however, the team soon grew to several developers, with one of the other individuals working on sound and design for DSYP. Meanwhile, Kenny Lee was responsible for the game's programming and art. The game, programmed in Adobe Flash, was originally developed with just a text display, but Lee decided to make it "a Hugo['s] House of Horrors-type game" with primitive graphics as well as text. Abode Flash ceased operation at the end of 2020.

Elaborating on the art style of the game, Kenny Lee said he was inspired by adventure games produced in the Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) display standard. He encountered difficulty emulating the 16-color palette due to newer applications enforcing visual improvements, such as anti-aliasing and a widened color palette, by default; because of this, he had to use Deluxe Paint, an older graphics application, in order to force the limited palette and screen resolution. Lee also stated that he had no prior experience in visual arts. Regarding its premise, Lee explained that it came from an email that made him "laugh out [loud] at work." The protagonist, intentionally left nameless, was not based on anyone in particular, but Lee based the design on Guybrush Threepwood from the Monkey Island series since he could not draw a completely original character design.

Production of the game took about two weeks; Lee commented that production time could have been shorter, but he had no prior experience with ActionScript, and the game could only be worked on during evenings. Its title was the only one ever worked with; Lee said that, while they had reservations about not changing it, the team decided to keep it the same as "the vulgarity would get people to click it". He added that, despite the name, they wanted to "keep it as clean as possible", in particular minimizing the display of excrement.

Release and reception
The game was released onto the internet as freeware on February 16, 2009. DSYP was jokingly categorized as "survival horror" by co-developer Teddy Lee. It has since received popularity for its subject matter; Andrew Groen of The Penny Arcade Report called it the company's tour de force.

Writing for Esquire, Ben Collins called it "best video game in existence" and "much more difficult than it sounds" while on the topic of an interview with Jennifer Lawrence on the Late Show with David Letterman. Owen Good of Kotaku opined that it had "surprisingly strong replay value" despite its premise. IndieGames.com placed it third of the "best freeware experimental games" of 2009. John Walker of Rock, Paper, Shotgun called it "the sort of immature 30 seconds of nonsense" that only his colleague Sam who referred him to the game could have found. Multiple reviewers for The A.V. Club wrote that it "will elicit laughs from anyone still capable of appreciating a quality shit joke" and dubbed it "a digital companion piece" to the book Everyone Poops. Discussing the game during a review of the company's later title, Rogue Legacy, Chris Kohler of Wired felt that DSYP seemed a "micro-sized game" at first, but found that "through cleverly encouraging repeated replays, it provides more entertainment than a game of its scope otherwise would."

The Parisian Macao was estimated to cost around $2.5 billion and is being funded by Las Vegas Sands with $1.5 billion in bank loans and $900 million to $1 billion in cash. The company will also have to pay a penalty of 900,000 patacas ($112,700) for the delay in developing the plot.

Construction began in February 2013.

Opening (2016)
Originally expected to be operational in late 2015, the completion of The Parisian Macao was delayed and finally opened in September 2016. However, its launch quarter results were below expectations.

Downsizing (2019)
In 2019, 600 rooms in The Parisian Macao were renovated to become 300 new suites to meet rising demands. This brings the total room count from the original 3,000 rooms and suites to approximately 2,700.

Design
The Parisian Macao features a half-scale 525-foot Eiffel Tower as one of its landmarks.

The property has approximately 2,700 hotel rooms, 170 shops and 56,000 square feet of meeting space. In addition, the resort features a 1,200-seat theatre. For the first month of the hotel's opening, the theatre hosted Thriller Live, and hopes to attract more Broadway and West End performances.

The interior has a large fountain and atrium giving a feel of modern France. There are 150 gaming tables allotted to the property, of which 100 were allotted at launch and the next 50 will be allotted over the next years.

Shops in the retail arcade, Shoppes at Parisian include Adidas, Calvin Klein and Breitling.

Transportation

title: Arab Palestine Sports Federation

text:
The Arab Palestine Sport Federation (APSF; , al-Ittihad al-Riadi al-'Arabi al-Filastini) was a governing body of sport activities for Palestinian Arabs in Mandatory Palestine. The federation was active between 1931 and 1937 and between 1944 and 1948. It organized a variant of activities in various sports, mostly in football, boxing, and weightlifting.

History
Sporting events among the Arab populace of Ottoman Palestine started at the beginning of the 20th century. The first Arab football club, St. George School was established in 1908, and in 1911 a social athletic club, Circle Sportive (al-Muntada al-Riyadi) was established in Jerusalem's Old City, which organized several events, including a 1,800 meter street race in Jerusalem. After World War I, further clubs were established in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Gaza and Haifa, as well as in Arab villages throughout the country, numbering at about 20 around 1930

In 1928, the Palestine Football Federation was established. This governing body was initiated by the Jewish clubs, and later turned into the Israel Football Association. The dominance of the Jewish clubs in the PFA, and the disenfranchisement of the Arab clubs led the Arab clubs to establish its own organization. In March 1931 a national Arab-Palestinian football team was organized to meet a visiting team from American University of Beirut, and three months later, at a meeting held in Jaffa, the Arab Palestine Sports Federation was established.

In the following years, and until the 1936 revolt, the APSF organized several football tournaments along with the Youth Congress Party, and in 1935 the federation organized a sports festival in Jaffa, in which more than 5,000 athletes competed in track and field events, sword fighting and horseback riding. The existence of the APSF encouraged sport activities among the Arab populace, and led to the establishment of several Arab football clubs. However, due to the revolt, the APSF ceased its activities in late 1937.

After the dissolution of the APSF, Arab teams and athletes were forced to arrange activities by themselves. Some football clubs re-joined the Jewish-controlled PFA competitions. However, after a controversial decision which eliminated Shabab al-Arab from the 1942 Palestine Cup competition, Arab clubs once again quit the PFA. In December 1942 a football association was established in Jaffa, and a similar association was formed in Haifa in November 1943. In a meeting in September 1944 in Jaffa, the APSF was re-established.

The reborn APSF was divided into six regions – Jerusalem, Jaffa, Nablus, Gaza, Galilee and Haifa. By the start of 1945, the APSF had 25 member clubs. The federation arranged a national football league, and a national Arab-Palestinian football team, and tried to set competitions between the national team and nearby national teams. However, as the federation wasn't affiliated to FIFA, as the Jewish PFA was, such arrangements were proved difficult. In 1946, supported by the Lebanese Football Federation and the Egyptian Football Association, the APSF applied for membership in FIFA, however, the bid was rejected due to the existence of PFA, and the lack of willing to accept another member for the same territory.

The federation also arranged track and field meets in 1946 and 1947, including a sports exhibition in Jaffa, where several events, including running events (sprints, middle-distance running and relay races), jumping events (long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault) and throwing events (shot put, javelin and discus). cycling, weightlifting, wrestling, and boxing events were also organized by the ASPF during these times.

By 1948, the APSF membership had risen to 55 clubs, but as the 1948 Arab–Israeli War progressed, and as the state of Israel was established on most of the territory of Mandatory Palestine, with the West Bank taken by Jordan and the Gaza Strip taken by Egypt, the APSF was disestablished.

Palestine Premier League
Under the APSF, a national football league was established in 1945. The competition was divided to six regional leagues, which included a top division and lower divisions. The divisions' champions played a play-off competition to set the champions.

title: Alexander Robertson (artist)

text:
Alexander Robertson (1772–1841) was a Scottish-American artist. In the 1790s he founded the Columbian Academy of Painting in New York with his brother Archibald Robertson.

Early life

Robertson was born in Monymusk, near Aberdeen, Scotland in 1772. His father, William Robertson, was a draftsman and architect. Alexander was the middle of three artistic brothers; the others were Archibald and Andrew.

Education
Robertson, who was a miniaturist, studied art in Scotland and then in London at the Royal Academy of Art. He was also taught by his brother Archibald.

Career
Robertson painted miniature portraits and landscapes, influenced by William Sawrey Gilpin. He engraved, and among his works are some topographical engravings. Archibald and Alexander collaborated on the engravings and other works.

With his brother Archibald, Robertson came to the United States to teach art at the invitation of several wealthy individuals. Archibald arrived in 1791, and Alexander joined his brother in the autumn of 1792. In the 1790s the brothers established the Columbian Academy of Painting in New York on William Street. It was one of the country's first art schools. Their students included John Vanderlyn, Francis Alexander, and, rare for the time, a woman miniaturist named Ann Hall. Alexander taught painting and drawing. The brothers taught art to amateur and professional students with a wide variety of mediums and subjects. Their methods were based upon those taught in European and British art schools at that time.

Around 1800 Alexander drew an illustration of Mount Vernon in Virginia, home of George Washington. This work was engraved by Francis Jukes of London shortly thereafter.

Robertson opened his own art school in 1802. The Columbian Academy of Art was renamed the Academy of Painting, which continued to be managed by Archibald.

Robertson exhibited at the American Academy of the Fine Arts (AAFA) in New York and was made director in 1816. Both of the Robertson brothers were active in the management of the AAFA.  From 1817 to 1825 Alexander was the school's secretary. He was the curator from 1820 to 1835. In 1821 he became an honorary member of the Academy of Fine Arts in South Carolina.

Robertson traveled along the Mohawk and Hudson rivers and captured the landscape and towns in a travel sketchbook of pen and ink drawings. According to Elizabeth Allen, "Robertson's stylized approach reveals a preconceived notion of what a landscape should look like, based upon his exposure to the topographical tradition of Great Britain. It was up to the next generations of American landscape artists to free themselves from the restraints of that tradition to produce drawings that were more spontaneous and more faithful to nature."

Personal life
Robertson married Miss Provost, who was the niece of Bishop Provost.

Death
Robertson died in New York in 1841.

title: Lorraine Tan

text:
Lorraine Tan (陈莉芯) is a Singaporean singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, educator and founder of the My Singapore Music Charity Movement.

Early life
Tan graduated from CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls' School and Hwa Chong Junior College. She later graduated from the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore as a civil engineer. Tan was the valedictorian of civil engineering in NTU. She also won the best speaker award in the Dorothy Cheung Debating championship in NTU. She was also trained in vocals and piano (ABRSM grade 8, distinction), and later in music education (Post graduate diploma, distinction; from NIE - National Institute of Education) to teach music. Tan also took contemporary vocal master classes at New York University in 2017.

Music career
Tan started composing in 2000. Her first composition "Dreams" won the First Prize in an NUS song writing competition. She has written more than 200 songs to date for corporate companies, wedding couples, government agencies and National day charity projects. She has also performed in more than 800 events.

She then released two albums, Tan in Original Love Stories Volume 1 & 2, which compiled the songs she had written, back in 2006 and 2008 respectively. The albums primarily catered to her network of wedding, corporate clients and their friends.

In April 2014, Tan was selected as the "Kindness Ambassador" for The Singapore Kindness Movement. She wrote and sang the theme song titled "Kindness is in Me" to promote kindness and a more loving and caring society. This song can also be found on YouTube.

In August 2014, she continued to lend her creative talents to the community and charity by writing her 4th National Day Song "Moments of Love". This time she also wrote the script and directed the Music video. The three short stories in the music video depicts the different type of love that we experience in our lives. It serves as motivation to people who are suffering and sends a message that there are people out there who care for them. This video was also well-received and crossed more than 225,000 views within a month of release.

The My Singapore Project ended on a high note on 12 August 2014 with a music concert for 3,500 people at The Star Performing Arts Centre with The President of Singapore Tony Tan Keng Yam as the Guest of Honour. This concert was once again presented by CapitaLand Hope Foundation. The project raised more than SGD$200,000 for the 64 charities under President's Challenge 2014. More than 300 students from different schools in Singapore also participated in this project.

She released her first "My Singapore: Original Theme Songs DVD" and is preparing to release the "My Singapore: Concert DVD". She was also commissioned by West Spring Primary School to compose and produce their school song.

As part of SG50 (Singapore's 50th golden jubilee celebrations), Tan wrote "Snow Flower" as a tribute to the country's 50 years of dreams, aspirations and resilience. The song was inspired by Lee Kuan Yew - Singapore's founding Prime Minister. Lee died on 23 March 2015 at age 92. The music, words and images are a metaphorical interpretation of how Singapore (akin to a fragile flower), survived and thrived in difficult and seeming impossible circumstances (akin to wintry snow).

The official beneficiary of My Singapore 2015 is Beyond Social Services, whose mission is to curb delinquency among children and youths from less privileged backgrounds. The music video was filmed in Singapore and Australia , music production was done in Korea.

In 2017, Lorraine collaborated with Joseph Schooling, Singapore's first Olympic gold medalist for swimming) for her new single release "Once in a Lifetime" a motivational song to raise support and awareness for athletes who defy all odds to pursue their greatest sporting goals every day. Shortly after shooting the "Once in a Lifetime" Music Video, Lorraine went to New York University to attend the contemporary vocal master classes and performed "Once in a Lifetime" at the final day concert in New York University with 39 other students selected to join the program from all over the world. Subsequently, on 30 August 2017, Lorraine was invited by Esplanade to hold a music concert to perform her original compositions as part of the Red Dot August program to promote Singaporean music. Performing with her were 6 musicians and children guests artistes from West Spring Primary school and others.

In 2017 Dec, Lorraine performed in her first musical - The ETCeteras' 23rd production, Sole Mate《同鞋会》at Victoria Theatre, which explores the hidden pains, desires and struggles beneath the pretty soles of women. She played one of the lead actress: a down-in-love-and-luck but positive and quirky music teacher, "Miss Tan", along with Apple Hong and Tay Sia Yuen. The play featured Lorraine's four original songs (all sang live): 最幸福的感动，我的世界，灰色的结， This I Promise You. In particular, 灰色的结 was a new single specially written and composed by Lorraine for this musical.
