The 2016 United States Senate election in Illinois was held on November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Illinois, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Prior to the election, Mark Kirk was considered to be the most vulnerable senator from either party seeking re-election in 2016 due to Illinois's heavy Democratic partisan balance with news networks and analysts expecting a Democratic pickup.

Party primary elections in Illinois were held March 15, 2016. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Mark Kirk ran for re-election to a second full term, but he was easily defeated by Democratic nominee Tammy Duckworth, the U.S. representative from Illinois's 8th congressional district and a decorated combat veteran of the Iraq War. Duckworth became the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from Illinois since Carol Moseley Braun in 1992. Despite his loss, Kirk did manage to outperform Trump in the concurrent election by around 2 percent.

Election information
The primaries and general elections coincided with those for United States President and House, as well as those for state offices.

Background
In 2010, Republican Mark Kirk was elected to the Senate  for Illinois, defeating Democratic nominee Alexi Giannoulias by 59,220 votes out of more than 3.7 million votes cast.

Kirk suffered a severe stroke in January 2012 that kept him away from the Senate until January 2013. In June 2013 he confirmed that he was "planning" to run for re-election, but there was speculation that he might retire, particularly in the wake of the departure of several of his senior staff. Republican Bruce Rauner was elected Governor in 2014, and a possible scenario was that Kirk would resign early, allowing Rauner to appoint another Republican as the replacement.  Potential replacements  included U.S. Representatives Bob Dold, Adam Kinzinger, Aaron Schock, and Peter Roskam, State Senators Jason Barickman and Christine Radogno, hedge fund manager and founder and CEO of Citadel LLC Kenneth C. Griffin, and businesswoman Beth Christie. In November 2014, Kirk reiterated that he was going to run for re-election.

Kirk was identified by The Washington Post, The New York Times, Politico, The Huffington Post, Slate and Roll Call as one of the most vulnerable Republican senators up for re-election in 2016.

Turnout

For the primary election, turnout was 41.94%, with 3,215,334 votes cast. For the general election, turnout was 68.39%, with 5,491,878 votes cast.

Third party candidates
On July 6, the Green Party candidate and the Libertarian Party candidate were announced as having made the ballot for November after no objections were filed against their petitions. However, objections against two others were filed, namely: the Constitution Party candidate Chad Koppie, due to his name being on a petition slate with Constitution Party presidential candidate Darrell Castle who turned in fewer than the required petitions needed, and against Independent candidate Eric Conklin. Neither Koppie nor Conklin are likely to receive ballot access after a review of their petitions.

Debates

Campaign
Kirk had multiple factors working against him, as no Republican had won an Illinois US Senate race during a presidential election year since 1972, and he had made a number of gaffes during the campaign. He had exaggerated his Iraq War record on his campaign website, and during a debate, Kirk made a racially charged remark about Duckworth's familial military background. Additionally, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was unpopular in Chicago and its suburbs, and Kirk refused to endorse or vote for him, instead writing in former United States Secretary of State Colin Powell. Kirk also had a mostly liberal voting record in the Senate, favoring gay marriage, an assault weapons ban, and he had voted against defunding and repealing portions of Obamacare in 2015. Due to these factors, Kirk alienated the Democratic, Independent, and Republican voters whom he had previously won over in his 2010 campaign. Unusually, the normally Republican-leaning editorial board of the Chicago Tribune endorsed Duckworth, as they believed that the health problems that Kirk had suffered as a result of his stroke made him a less effective Senator. This election had been cited as historic as both major party nominees had physical disabilities.

Results
The result was a landslide victory for Tammy Duckworth. Pre-election polling showed Kirk would be easily defeated by Duckworth, and the polls were proven right when Duckworth was declared the winner quickly after polls closed in Illinois. Duckworth performed extremely well in the heavily populated and strongly Democratic Cook County, home of Chicago. Duckworth also did well in Champaign, East St. Louis and Carbondale. Kirk did do well in rural parts of the state, but it was nowhere near enough to offset his weakness in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Chicago 'collar counties' — among them Kirk's home county of Lake County — previously voted for Kirk, but easily flipped to Duckworth. Duckworth was sworn in at 12:00 P.M. EST on January 3, 2017. The Libertarian and Green candidates polled well, winning three and two percent of the vote respectively.

title: Stralsund–Rostock railway

text:
The Stralsund–Rostock railway connects the two Hanseatic cities in the north of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The single-track electrified main line is part of the German Unity Transport Project () No. 1 (Lübeck–Rostock–Stralsund).

History

The railway line was built to provide a direct rail link  between the two Hanseatic cities of Rostock and Stralsund and to open up the area in between. Prussia proposed a single-track main line, while Mecklenburg considered that a branch line would be sufficient. The concession was authorised by a treaty of 15 December 1884. The track was built by the Prussian state railways and officially opened on 1 July 1888. The Mecklenburg government participated only financially. The line crossed the boundary between the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and the Prussian province of Pomerania between Ribnitz and Damgarten. The original plan was that the Stralsund–Ribnitz section would run via Barth. This section had been surveyed. However, the shorter connection via Velgast was selected to reduce the construction costs.

The management of operations on Prussian territory, that is from Stralsund to Damgarten, was initially carried out by the Prussian state railways, while operations on the section through Mecklenburg were carried out by the Friedrich-Franz Railway. The necessary locomotives exchange took place in Ribnitz station (now Ribnitz-Damgarten West). After the maintenance of the Prussian locomotives in Rostock in Mecklenburg had been agreed under an international treaty, the operations were completely taken over by the Prussian state railways. Passenger services on the line ended at the station of the Friedrich-Franz Railway in the southeast of Rostock’s old town, which was later used as a freight yard.  A direct connection to Rostock Hauptbahnhof was opened in 1905.

During the following years more branch lines developed along the line. Thus, connections were gradually built to Prerow via Barth (the Darß Railway of the Prussian state railways), to Tribsees (the Velgast–Tribsees/Franzburg railway) and Graal-Müritz (the Rövershagen–Graal-Müritz railway). As a result of the construction of these branch lines the stations of Rövershagen and Velgast developed into railway junction. Velgast station gained special importance with the building of the branches to Prerow and Tribsees.

The line initially built as a branch line was declared to be a main line in 1926.

1950–1989

During the period of the German Democratic Republic, the line was connected to many military and business sidings. In the late 1950s a branch was built to the north of the line to the north port of Rostock with a link towards Rostock and towards Bentwisch on the line to Stralsund.

The other major connection was the industrial railway to the fertilizer plant at Poppendorf. The military sidings connected from Ribnitz-Damgarten Ost to Pütnitz (airfield) and from Gelbensande to Schwarzenpfost, running for a few metres parallel and adjacent to the main line through the woods. Also the fiberboard plant in Ribnitz was connected with a works railway.

The line was progressively electrificatied in the following stages from 1985:
Rostock Hauptbahnhof–Rostock freight yard: 15 December 1985
Riekdahl–Bentwisch: 12 April 1986
Bentwisch–Poppendorf: 30 May 1986
Bentwisch–Stralsund: 2 June 1991.

The last scheduled steam train ran on this line on 29 March 1985.

1990–2010

After Die Wende in 1989, many sidings and stations were closed and later partly dismantled (such as Rostock freight yard). The sidings for the military trains of the National People’s Army were no longer needed and have been completely dismantled, the stations of Schwarzenpfost, Altheide, Langenhanshagen, Starkov and Pantelitz have not been served since 1996. In addition the last local freight train operated in 1996.

In 1999, the section between Ribnitz-Damgarten West and Stralsund was completely renovated. The appearance of the stations on the track changed greatly. The signal boxes were replaced by a new electronic interlocking in Velgast. Consequently, all signal boxes that were no longer needed and freight sidings were demolished and the interlocking equipment that was housed in the old station buildings was removed. The remaining buildings are largely empty, and have been secured against unauthorised entry. The closed stations were completely demolished in the course of the renovation. But, after the renovation of the track, a new station was opened in Stralsund Grünhufe.

The redevelopment of the remainder of the section between Rostock and Ribnitz-Damgarten West was begun, but has been repeatedly deferred. As a result, almost all of the line on this section has not been upgraded. All stations are still staffed and the line is protected by signals controlled by relay interlocking at local signal boxes. During the line upgrade, the track in the section between Rostock and Ribnitz–Damgarten West was to be doubled because of the current high train density. A second track was also planned on the Velgast–Stralsund section. All culverts and bridges were already designed for a second track in 1999. After the outcome of the review of the demand plan for federal railway infrastructure of 11 November 2010, it was decided not to pursue the project because of its unfavourable benefit-cost ratio.

Construction

In March 2007, the first works were carried out for upgrading the Rostock–Ribnitz-Damgarten West section to be operated at 160 km/h. Substantial work was especially carried out in the stations of Bentwisch, Gelbensande and Ribnitz-Damgarten West. Further work took place in the spring of 2008. Additional platforms were restored along the line and refuge tracks and freight tracks were removed in stations. The western section was not initially connected to the electronic interlocking at Velgast.

Passenger services

Regional services

Regional services operate on the line at two-hour intervals between the two cities. Since December 2007, these have been operated using Stadler FLIRT railcars, which, because of their greater acceleration and higher speed, have reduced travel time on some sections. Before the introduction of the new railcars, trains often consisted of three double-decker cars hauled by a class 143 locomotive.

On the Rostock–Rövershagen section there is an additional hourly direct train to Graal-Müritz. For this reason, the stations of Rostock-Kassebohm, Bentwisch and Mönchhagen are not generally served by Regional-Express trains towards Stralsund. Railcars of class 642 (Siemens Desiro) or class 628 are used towards Graal-Müritz. Every two hours Usedomer Bäderbahn (UBB) trains operated between Stralsund and Velgast using class 646 railcars until 2017. They continued on the UBB network to Barth. Since they now run only between Velgast and Barth, although approximately hourly, Kummerow (b Stralsund) station is no longer served by any trains.

Long-distance services

The line is served several times a day by long-distance trains. The Intercity trains stop at the stations of Rostock Hauptbahnhof, Ribnitz-Damgarten West, Velgast and Stralsund Hauptbahnhof. Several trains continue from Stralsund to Ostseebad Binz on Rügen. These continue to Hamburg and the Ruhr. Until October 2007, a night train operated from Stralsund to Munich and to the Ruhr. In the summer a train regularly runs on the route from Dortmund to Sassnitz, carrying vacationers from the Ruhr to the Baltic Sea. Another Intercity train runs as the UrlaubsExpress (Holiday Express) Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from Cologne via Hamburg, Rostock and Stralsund to the seaside resort of Heringsdorf on the island of Usedom.

A special feature of the line is that all long-distance trains between Rostock and Stralsund may be used with local public transport tickets. This excludes the so-called Ländertickets and Schöne-Wochenende-Tickets.

Since the timetable change in 2005, there are no longer any strictly two-hour intervals services on the line. The reason for this was the only way to shorten the times taken by the long-distance trains to Hamburg. In order to speed up regional services and to offer the long-demanded trains from Rostock to Rügen, it was necessary for the long-distance trains to stop at crossing station to wait for regional services.

Freight traffic

The line is used for regional freight traffic, but it is also important for interregional traffic. So the big freight yards of Rostock Seehafen (seaport) and Sassnitz-Mukran on Rügen are served by freight traffic on the line. There are also two works sidings on the line that can be served. The biggest works sidings is the fertilizer plant in Poppendorf. It has its own works station. For some time, sidings and a works station was operated at Yara Rostock. The other siding is located in Rövershagen where a local gas supplier is served.

She represented her nation Bulgaria in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), along with her partner and younger sister Petia. As a junior player in her native Bulgaria, Yanchulova became a four-time National Champion with her club Levski. She trained for most of her beach volleyball sporting career in San Diego, California, United States, while directing and coaching at Coast Volleyball Club.

Yanchulova began her collegiate sporting career in 1992 at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, where she competed for the Idaho Vandals women's volleyball team. Crediting her parents, Ted and Nina, for instilling the qualities necessary for success at the highest level, Lina went on to achieve outstanding accomplishments in both indoor and beach volleyball. While playing for the Vandals, she led her team to four impressive victories at the Big Sky Conference Championships, being named Freshman of the Year, Academic All-American, and Player of the Year in 1996.

Since 1998, Yanchulova competed professionally at the FIVB World Tour along with her sister Petia. The Bulgarian tandem also made their official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where they both placed seventeenth in the women's beach volleyball, defeating European bronze medalists Deborah and Rebekka Kadijk along the way. Four years later, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, the Yanchulova sisters qualified for their second Olympic Games in the same tournament by obtaining their berth from the FIVB Grand Slam Series in Klagenfurt, Austria. Defeating the reigning European Champions of Germany in the pool round, the Yanchulova sisters advanced to the round of 16, but they were eventually eliminated in a dramatic battle against eventual Olympic silver medalists Adriana Behar and Shelda Bede of Brazil, placing ninth overall.

Personal life

Lina took the last name Taylor after marrying former NFL player Aaron Taylor.  They live in San Diego, CA with their three children.

Currently, Lina Taylor is a speaker on resilience and an ICF-certified executive coach (LinaTaylor.com).

title: James Ross (American author)

text:
James Ross (1911-1990) was an American fiction author. His only published book, They Don't Dance Much (1940), is an early example of what Daniel Woodrell identifies as "country noir", or a noir novel with a rural setting.

Life
James Ross was born in rural Stanly County, North Carolina in 1911. He briefly worked as a writer for the Savannah Morning News and then for the Greensboro Daily News (now News & Record), covering North Carolina politics and legislation. He died in 1990.

Ross's first novel was published in 1940. His follow-up novel, In The Red, was never published, and Ross turned to writing short fiction for magazines like Collier's, The Sewanee Review and Argosy. In 1970, he became a highly regarded literary agent, and 1975 saw the reissue of They Don’t Dance Much, which saw the book become truly popular for the first time.

They Don't Dance Much
The novel is set in a Western North Carolina roadhouse in the fictional crossroads town of Corinth. It is narrated by a failed farmer who, upon taking a job at a filling station, becomes involved in a murder.

The novel, despite being praised by crime-fiction authors such as Raymond Chandler, William Gay, and Flannery O'Connor, has been largely forgotten. In part, this is due to its tumultuous publication history; since its release, the book has been printed by five different publishers, most recently by Mysterious Press.

title: Dublin University Ladies Boat Club

text:
Dublin University Ladies Boat Club (DULBC) is a Competitive rowing sports club in Dublin, Ireland. It is the Ladies' Rowing club of Trinity College Dublin, often informally called "Trinity Ladies" rowing club. The club colours are black and pink with white 'TRINITY' lettering and a shield bearing the arms of Trinity College.

DULBC is affiliated with Rowing Ireland and is the sister club of Dublin University Boat Club (DUBC). DULBC share DUBC's Islandbridge Boathouse.  Many experienced joiners have learned their trade at local clubs such as Commercial and Neptune.

The Ladies Boat Club uses the Trinity Boat House to store equipment and for training. This Boat House dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and is located just inside the surrounds of War Memorial Park at Islandbridge.

History
In 1930, a group of undergraduate female rowers in Trinity requested permission to set up a rowing club.  A supportive TCD news editorial at the time stated that rowing was an excellent sport and in every way suited to woman's physique.  Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and many joined outside clubs instead.  A TCD women's rowing team did not appear until the 1960s.  But it wasn't until 1975 that a formal decision was taken to "allow" women to row competitively for Trinity. David Sanfey was Captain of DUBC at the time and in 1976, the Dublin University Ladies Boat Club (DULBC) was formally established.  The club's formation was driven by Jane Williams, who became the new Club’s first Captain.

The seventies and early eighties was an era when there was still some resistance to women's rowing within established clubs.

The first 'Colours Rowing Challenge' between UCD Women's Boat Club and DULBC took place in 1980. The so-called Corcoran Cup has taken place every year since.

Achievements
By 1979, the club was competing internationally in coxed fours.

Several members of the club have represented Ireland at the very top level by competing in the World Championships including Nicole Ryan, Christine Caffey, Debbie Stack, Ailis Holohan and Ruth Doyle. Others, such as Kate McCullough, Luise Ronayne, Nicola Fitz-Simon, Nessa Ronayne and Claire Magee, have competed for Ireland at the Homes International Regatta and the Coupe de la Jeunesse.

Trinity Ladies won the inaugural race of the Corcoran Cup 1980.  By 2014, DULBC had won the Corcoran Cup 13 times.

title: Jimmy V Award

text:
The Jimmy V Award (sometimes called the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance) is awarded as part of the ESPY Awards to "a deserving member of the sporting world who has overcome great obstacles through perseverance and determination". The award is named in honor of North Carolina State University men's basketball coach Jim Valvano, who gave an acceptance speech after receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 1993 ESPY Awards ceremony which "brought a howling, teary-eyed Madison Square Garden to its feet". Valvano died from adenocarcinoma two months after receiving the award. The Jimmy V Award trophy, designed by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan, is presented at the annual awards ceremony in Los Angeles by The V Foundation, a charitable organization founded in 1993 by ESPN and Valvano to raise money to fund cancer research grants across the United States.

The accolade's inaugural winner in 2007 was basketball coach Kay Yow, who successfully led the North Carolina State University women's team to the ACC tournament championship game, and the Sweet 16 (regional semi-finals) of the NCAA Division I Tournament after returning from sessions of breast cancer chemotherapy. Although the award has usually been given to coaches or athletes, it has been presented to two reporters: Stuart Scott (2014) and Craig Sager (2016). The award has been shared twice: Team Hoyt (2013), consisting of the father and son team of Dick and Rick Hoyt, and the father and daughter combination of Devon Still and Leah Still (2015). The 2023 recipient of the Jimmy V Award was Liam Hendriks, an Chicago White Sox closer who was diagnosed with stage four Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and returned to play following his being declared cancer free in April 2023.

title: Acacia bynoeana

text:
Acacia bynoeana, known colloquially as Bynoe's wattle or tiny wattle, is a species of Acacia native to eastern Australia. It is listed as endangered in New South Wales and as vulnerable according to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

Description
The small shrub grows to a height of around  and has a decumbent habit. The terete and hairy branchlets have subulate stipules with a length of around . Like most Acacias it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The narrowly elliptic to linear shaped phyllodes are straight to slightly curved. They have a length of  and a width of  and are hairy when young but become glabrous with age. The shrub usually blooms in the summertime between December and March producing simple inflorescences that occur singly in the axils with spherical flower-heads that have a diameter of  containing 10 to 25 bright golden flowers. After flowering firmly, papery and brittle seed pods will form that are straight, and raised over the seeds inside. The pods are  in length and  wide.

Taxonomy
The plant was first formally described by the botanist George Bentham in 1855 as part of the work Plantae Muellerianae: Mimoseae as published in Linnaea: ein Journal für die Botanik in ihrem ganzen Umfange, oder Beiträge zur Pflanzenkunde. It was reclassified as Racosperma bynoeanum by Leslie Pedley in 2003 then transferred back to genus Acacia in 2006. The only other synonym is Acacia pumila.

The specific epithet honours Benjamin Bynoe, the Royal Navy surgeon aboard the Beagle who collected the type specimen.

Distribution
The shrub is found in New South Wales mostly from around the Morisett area in the north down to Berrima and the Illawarra region and out to the west as far as the Blue Mountains with another population found in the Hunter Valley and Morton National Park. It grows well in sandy soils as a part of heathland and dry sclerophyll forest communities.

title: Acacia hispidula

text:
Acacia hispidula, known colloquially as  little harsh acacia, rough-leaved acacia or rough hairy wattle, is a species of Acacia native to eastern Australia.

Description
The shrub typically grows to a height of  has a spreading, open habit, with scabrous and tuberculate branchlets that have minute hairs. It has evergreen phyllodes with an asymmetric narrowly oblong-elliptic shape that are often shallowly incurved. The sub-glabrous to glabrous phyllodes are  in length and  and have a prominent midrib. It flowers between January and April producing simple inflorescences occur singly in the axils and have spherical flower-heads containing 10 to 20 pale yellow to almost white flowers. The glabrous blackish seed pods that form after flowering have an oblong to narrowly oblong shape but can be elliptic when containing a single seed. The pods can be up to  in length and  in width and are thickly coriaceous to subwoody. The turgid seeds have an oblong shape and are  in length and  wide.

Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by the botanist James Edward Smith in 1795 as Mimosa hispidula in the work A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland . It was then described as Acacia hispidula by Carl Ludwig Willdenow in 1806 as part of the work Species Plantarum. It was reclassified as Racosperma hispidulum by Leslie Pedley in 2003 then transferred back to genus Acacia in 2006.
The shrub is mistaken for Acacia aspera which has longer and narrower phyllodes. It is closely allied with Acacia purpureopetala which is also found in Queensland.
The specific epithet is derived from Latin and is in reference to the hairy nature of the branchlets and phyllode margins having short hairs or tubercles.

Distribution
It has a disjunct distribution and is found around the Sydney area in New South Wales and further north from Coffs Harbour and inland to Torrington to the border with Queensland from the north as far as Crows Nest and Brisbane where it is a part of Eucalyptus woodland communities growing in shallow soils over granite and sandstone.

title: STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014

text:
The STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014 () is a bill related to the regulation of satellite broadcasting in the United States.

The bill was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress.

Background
According to a report written by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), there are "three primary ways for a household to receive broadcast television signals: by using an individual antenna that receives broadcast signals directly over-the-air from a television station; by subscribing to a cable television service that brings a wire into the house that carries the retransmitted signals of broadcast stations; or by subscribing to a satellite television service that puts a dish on the roof that receives the retransmitted signals of broadcast stations." The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA) was the latest in a series of laws regulating satellite television services. If STELA were to expire, the CRS projects that "approximately 1.5 million satellite television households would likely lose distant network broadcast signals."

Provisions of the bill
The STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014 amends the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA), to extend until December 31, 2019.

Extended Provisions

 An exemption from retransmission consent requirements for satellite operators for the carriage of distant network signals to “unserved households”;
 The prohibition on exclusive retransmission consent contracts;
 Requirement that television broadcast stations and MVPDs negotiate in good faith.

New Provisions

 Prohibits joint retransmission consent negotiation by two or more independently owned broadcasters;
 Eliminates the prohibition against changing broadcast signals during the quarterly sweeps;
 Extends deadline to unwind joint sales agreements for which broadcasters seek a waiver and are found non-compliant under the FCC's attribution rules adopted on March 31, 2014;
 Repeal of the FCC's integration ban for cable set-top boxes.

Procedural history
The STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on May 6, 2014 by Rep. Greg Walden (R, OR-2). The bill was referred to the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce. On July 11, 2014, it was reported (amended) alongside House Report 113-518. The bill passed the House via voice vote on July 22, 2014. President Barack Obama signed the bill into law on December 4, 2014.

Debate and discussion
The bill was supported by 21st Century Fox, Disney–ABC Television Group, the American Cable Association, the American Television Alliance, CBS, DirecTV, and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association.

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) supported the bill. The organization's president, Gordon Smith, announced that "NAB thanks Chairmen Goodlatte and Coble for guiding through the House Judiciary Committee a sensible, non-controversial STELA reauthorization bill ensuring that satellite TV subscribers without access to local TV signals can continue receiving popular programming from broadcast TV networks. NAB strongly supports this practical approach to STELA."

The United States Cattlemen's Association (USCA) supported the bill because it "will help provide continued access to local news and broadcasting services in rural regions."

title: James Browne (died 1790)

text:
The Honorable James Browne (1736/8 – 22 October 1790) was an Irish Member of Parliament and Law Officer. He sat in the House of Commons of Ireland from 1768 to 1790.

He was born in County Mayo, fourth son of John Browne, 1st Earl of Altamont and Anne Gore, daughter of Sir Arthur Gore, 2nd Baronet and Elizabeth Annesley.

He entered  Middle Temple in 1755 and was called to the Bar in 1760. He was advanced to the rank of Prime Serjeant-at-law (Ireland) in 1780. He was dismissed following the change of Government in 1782, but was reappointed in 1784 when a promotion to the Bench left the office open. He was dismissed a second time in 1787.He died unmarried in 1790.

Hart suggests that he was a failure as Prime Serjeant, but adds that the office itself was by the 1780s an anachronism. Although in theory, the Prime Serjeant was still the Government's most senior legal advisor, in practice the Attorney General of Ireland had for over a century had precedence over the Serjeants. The office of Prime Serjeant was abolished in 1805 following the death of Arthur Browne.

He was an MP for Jamestown from 1768 to 1776, for Tuam from 1776 to 1783, and for Castlebar from  1783 to 1790.

title: Laurentius Guild

text:
Laurentius Guild (Laurentiusgildet) is a historical European martial arts group headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark with chapters in Nyborg and Vordingborg. Its membership consists of academic researchers specializing in fencing with a focus on the 14th and 15th centuries.

Description

Led by Frede Jensen of Randers Museum, the group provides organized instruction in the study and practice of historical European swordplay with a particular focus on longsword fencing, with or without armour, and on sword and buckler fencing. It is one of several northern European groups of students and researchers in the area of medieval martial arts. Established in 2004, it is a small historical European martial arts group whose members are mainly from Aarhus University, especially those specializing in medieval archaeology or history.

The Nyborg chapter specialises in longsword, rapier, and poleaxe. Indeed, longsword interpretation across the Guild is led by Claus Sørensen, a medieval archeologist based in Nyborg Castle. Methodology is based on fencing manuscripts from the 14th to 17th centuries with a focus on the 14th and 15th centuries.  This is enhanced with the practical knowledge gained through solo and partnered drilling, and free play (sparring). In this way, it follows a similar methodology to experimental archeology.

The Laurentius Guild is part of HEMAC (Historical European Martial Arts Coalition), which is a pan-European organization of martial artists and researchers dedicated to the study of traditional European fighting arts and martial traditions.

title: Mounir Moufarrige

text:
Mounir Moufarrige is a brand developer and creator. Best known for shifting Alfred Dunhill from a smokers to a life style brand, reviving Montblanc 'making the pen a cult object of desire', hiring Stella McCartney at Chloé, and helping to turn the historic Goyard brand into a global commercial success. He is also noted for spotting the future trend of larger sized watches in Panerai. He started his career in luxury fashion and lifestyle in 1988, after 3 years of training as a sales promotion rep at Rothmans International,

Biography
Mounir Mouffarige studied law in Lebanon.

In 1980, he became Alfred Dunhill's (part of the Richemont group) rep for Africa and the Middle East. In 1985, he became Chief Executive of the product divisions and turned the company over from tobacco and lighters to tailoring, leather and watches. He worked a similar scale transformation with Montblanc (also part of the Richmont group), focusing solely on the development of the Meisterstuck pen, pulling the brand's 300 or so other pen models to do so. In 1997, he took over the management of Chloé (also part of the Richmont group) where he replaced Karl Lagerfeld with the then 24-year-old British designer Stella McCartney. He also spotted the talent of Phoebe Philo, then just 23 years old as McCartney’s first assistant, who subsequently succeeded McCartney as head designer at Chloé 5 years later.

In 2002, he founded France Luxury Group with François Barthes (EK Finances),  which owned the labels Jean Louis Scherrer, Jacques Fath, Emmanuelle Khanh and Harel. In November 2002, he and Barthes sold their majority stake in the company to financier Alain Dumenil (owner of Francesco Smalto). In 2003, he took over the management of fragrance company Charles Frederick Worth, and hired the creative director Giovanni Bedin to successfully create a line of lingerie to attract a younger cientele. In 2003, he joined Goyard to modernize the centennial trunk brand. Having previously spotted the potential larger size watches in Officine Panerai while at Richemont, in 2005 Moufarrige joined forces with Italo Fontana, the creator of the U-Boat.

Simultaneously, whilst still actively working on U-BOAT watches and Goyard, Moufarrige became president and chief executive officer at Emanuel Ungaro in 2006 where he stayed until 2009 presiding over the development of the declining momentum of the historic Italian label, hiring actress Lindsay Lohan as artistic advisor to the creative director Estrella Archs. Mounir left Ungaro in December 2009. Bringing Lohan into the creative team was considered a mistake as the brand failed to rejuvenate its collection. He had supposedly got the green light from Anna Wintour to hire Lohan, which Wintour denied. He was also criticized for meddling with the creative staff's work, even though his responsibilities as CEO did not include creative work. Two top designers, George Cortina and Emanuel Ungaro quit Ungaro in 2007. After resigning from Ungaro in 2009, Moufarrige blamed his creative director Estrella Archs for the failure of Ungaro's popularity reboot.

Having recently joined S.T. Dupont as Vice Chairman of The Supervisory board in 2009, Mounir has been leading the push to bring its history back to life, repositioning the brand toward a younger and more fashion-orientated consumer and expanding into new product categories, including women’s leather goods in 2011. In 2018, he led S.T. Dupont's forray into the watch market.

Mounir remains President at U-Boat. On January 31, 2014, took a minority stake in Franco-Lebanese designer Christina Debs Jewelry line, with a view to expanding it internationally.

Also in 2014, after 5 years of research, Mounir Moufarrige acquired one of the oldest British watch brand names: L.KENDALL , LONDON 1742.

title: Toy Horses

text:
Toy Horses are a Welsh indie rock band, originating from Cardiff during the late 2000s, composed of Adam D. Franklin (b. Cardiff 1984) and his step-father Tom Williams (b. 1971). The duo are multi-instrumentalists, but with Franklin on lead vocals. Despite their UK origins, however, their first professional recordings were made in the US. Demo versions of songs had been picked up US radio guru Nic Harcourt and they were invited to record in the US with Ken Coomer of the band Wilco. Not having any other band members, they were joined in the recording studio in Music Row, Nashville, Tennessee by Jim Bogois (a member of the band Counting Crows, and member of Sheryl Crow's band) on drums and Tim Marks on bass. In their live performances since then the duo have been joined by Tom Rees (drums), Jon Proud (bass) and Carl Prior (guitar/keyboards). While in the US they were invited to perform at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. Their style of music is seen as having an affinity with 60s pop music, especially The Beatles, evident in the melodic and playful tunes, albeit often hiding melancholy lyrics.

Their debut album Toy Horses, produced by Ken Coomer, was released by Albino Sparrow Records in  April 2011 to critical acclaim. Their first single was "Interrupt" (released April 2011). In 2011 Toy Horses were short-listed for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.

title: Acacia fulva

text:
Acacia fulva, known colloquially as velvet wattle or soft wattle, is a species of Acacia native to eastern Australia.

Acacia fulva grows as a shrub or tree, ranging anywhere from 1.5 to 15 m in height. Young trees have smooth grey-green bark, which darkens and becomes rough and fissured with age. New growth is covered in red-brown velvety hairs. The silver-grey leaves are pinnate, with 4-12 pairs of pinnae, each 3-7.5 cm long. Each pinna in turn is made up of 11 to 28 pairs of 3–10 mm-long pinnules. Flowering occurs from November till June, the yellow flowerheads arranged in axillary and terminal panicles or racemes. Each small round flower head is composed of 20 to 40 individual flowers. Flowering is followed by the development of the  2–12 cm-long leathery seed pods, which are ripe between April and November.

Specimens of Acacia fulva were previously assigned to the species A. mollifolia until Mary Tindale described it as a separate species in 1966. Queensland botanist Les Pedley reclassified the species as Racosperma fulvum in 2003 amongst debate over the best way to deal with Acacia sensu lato'''s polyphyletic definition. When the dust settled, Acacia had been restricted to Australian species, returning A. fulva to its original name.

It is found on soils derived from sandstone and basalt that are high in nutrients. It grows in woodland, associated with such species as forest red gum (Eucalyptus tereticornis), grey box (E. moluccana), and narrow-leaved ironbark (E. crebra), and shrubs such as dogwood (Jacksonia scoparia), Exocarpus, Clerodendrum, Clematis and Senecio''.

title: Transistor Corazón

text:
Transistor Corazón is the third album by American singer-songwriter Melissa Greener. It was released on 14 June 2013 by Anima Records.

Produced by Brad Jones, it has been described as fusing "modernist poetry with soulful 1960s Laurel Canyon". According to Greener the album's name comes from the English/Spanish word "transistor", a device that amplifies, alters or changes the direction of an electrical signal, and from "corazón", the Spanish for "heart". The songs are about the themes of love and the complexity and short-circuitry of romantic intimacy. The album's title song was co-written by Greener with singer-songwriter David Rodriguez.

Reception

In a 4.5-starred review, The Daily Telegraph'''s Culture Editor, Martin Chilton, described  Transistor Corazón as an "album of depth" and her songwriting as "classy".

Malcolm Carter, writing for Penny Black Magazine, described her as "an exceptional talent". Greener, he said, "displays a toughness, an edge to her vocals, that makes everything she sings believable. She really does make the listener part of the songs, it would appear that there is nothing fake about Greener or the music she makes... Every word that [she] sings is dripping with soul... The combination of Greener's distinctive vocals and the Greenfield Guitars she plays is a winning one."

Allan Wilkinson, reviewing the album for Northern Sky, described it as an "intoxicating brew of fine melodies and inspired lyrics... Transistor Corazón bears all the hall marks of a breakthrough album, and not too soon".

Neil King, writing for FATEA magazine, said: "The dominating sound across 'Transistor Corazón' is that of the torch ballad and Greener's confident, emotion laden, vocal ensures that the songs sound like they could flare at any moment giving the album an inherent tension that she tries to resolve with the lyric."

Belgium's Rootstime magazine said that Melissa Greener "continues to grow as a singer but also as a songwriter and entertainer... an artist whose career development we will follow with healthy interest."

Fred Schmale, for the Netherlands' Real Roots Cafe, praised Greener's cover version of The Beatles' song "If I Fell" and, in particular, the string arrangements.

Erwin Zijleman for the Dutch website De krenten uit de pop, described the album as "the best roots album I have heard for ages" and "the third of Melissa Greener's highly addictive catalog... Melissa Greener's voice has no equal".

Germany's Wasser-Prawda – Musik under Meer (Music and More) cultural magazine praised Greener's "voluptuously arranged folk poems", helping you paint a "dreamy atmosphere". One minute you are "in the middle of a Mexican fiesta"; the next, you are forty miles out of Jackson pondering the meaning of a broken love affair.

Italy's Roots Highway described Transistor Corazón'' as "a classic product of the new independent roots music" and Melissa Greener as "an artist who is certainly finding her own way". The title track, it said, is "a gem...as if Joan Baez sang a piece of Tom Russell".

title: The Sunshine Boys (1996 film)

text:
The Sunshine Boys is a 1996 American comedy television film directed by John Erman and based on the 1972 play of the same title by Neil Simon about two legendary (and cranky) comics brought together for a reunion and revival of their famous act. The film stars Woody Allen and Peter Falk as the comedy duo alongside Sarah Jessica Parker. It premiered on December 28, 1997, on Hallmark Hall of Fame on CBS.

Plot
Al Lewis and Willy Clark are two old comedians who were once a popular comedy act known as "Lewis and Clark" and also called the Sunshine Boys. After 43 years together, they parted ways 11 years ago on unfriendly terms and have not spoken to each other since then. A reunion is planned for a major network special on the history of comedy.

Cast
 Peter Falk as Willy Clark
 Woody Allen as Al Lewis
 Sarah Jessica Parker as Nancy Davison
 Liev Schreiber as Ricky Gregg
 Michael McKean as Scott Grogan
 Whoopi Goldberg as Nurse
 Edie Falco as Carol

Production
In 1995, Simon adapted his play for a Hallmark Entertainment production. His teleplay updated the setting and made the two comedians the product of the early days of television, the medium in which the playwright got his start. Unlike the film adaptation, although they are portrayed as cantankerous, their animosity was not as severe as Matthau's and Burns' characters' bad relationship.

Woody Allen was originally asked to direct the 1975 film adaptation The Sunshine Boys, but he was more interested in playing the role of Lewis and declined the offer. 20 years later he was cast as Lewis in this television adaptation.

title: Lorne Atkinson

text:
Lorne Atkinson (8 June 1921 – 23 April 2010) was a Canadian cyclist. He competed in four events at the 1948 Summer Olympics. Nicknamed "Ace", Atkinson spent his life involved in cycling in the Vancouver area.

Biography
Atkinson was born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1921. Atkinson's father was a Scottish professional cyclist, with Atkinson competing in races from when he was a teenager. He soon earned the nickname "Ace" after winning a race and a newspaper printing a story with the headline of "City ace triumphs in Province Cup". He became a junior provincial champion in 1939, and would go on to win four senior provincial titles and two national titles. In 1946, Atkinson founded his business Ace's Cycles, which he ran for more than 60 years.

At the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, Atkinson competed in four events, two on the road and two on the track. On the road, Atkinson rode in both the individual road race and the team road race, but did not finish in either event. On the track, he was eliminated in the first round of the team pursuit event, and finished in 15th place in the track time trial.

Following the Olympics, Atkinson competed at the 1950 British Empire Games in Auckland, and the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in his hometown. He was also the captain of the Canadian team that finished in fourth place in the 10-mile scratch event at the 1954 Games. He was in charge of organising cycling events in Vancouver during the 1950s and 1960s, becoming the president of the Vancouver Bicycle Club in 1962. Five years later, he coached the Canadian team at the 1967 Pan American Games in Winnipeg.

Atkinson was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 1997, was awarded with the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002, and won the British Columbia Community Achievement Award in 2006. Just prior to his death, he was presented with the Olympic torch as part of the relay for the 2010 Winter Olympics. He died in April 2010 at the age of 88.

Jewish Motifs International Film Festival () is a major Jewish-themed film festival held annually in Warsaw, Poland. The festival has been held every year since 2004.

"The biggest European festival focused on Jewish themes in contemporary cinematography"—according to the Polish Embassy in Bern.

The 15th edition is scheduled to take place in mid-September 2019. Initially the Festival dates were around the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising that is why the precise dates are changing but always in same season (usually in April), since 2016 the festival takes place in late May. In September an exceptional change in dates occurred and Festival was moved for September.

Idea

The festival organizers declare as the aim and objectives:
 raising awareness on subjects related to "Jewish identity and experience throughout history, to the preservation of Jewish culture and tradition as a source of Judeo-Christian civilization – through the art of cinema";
 promote films on Jewish culture "to reach the young audience who is confronted today with the complex problems of our times, such as terrorism, intolerance and hatred";
 "Through artistic expression in the form of films we want to find ways of communicating with all religious, national and cultural communities in order to better know each other and better understand their diverse motives." especially when emphasizing common elements.
 "Present non-profit productions, pioneer or seeking new ways of expression, which do not clash with the universal requirement of truth in artistic work."

Special focus of the festival films is on those produced in the Central-Eastern European region.
Active participation of the audience is specialty of the festival, which organizes direct meetings with the film directors after each screening. Organizers and other experts participate also in the debates and meetings accompanying the shows and post-festival shows, which gives them opportunity for direct interaction. That is why the festival is often described as direct networking meeting and not the festival of red carpets.

The festival partners with other similar Jewish film festivals in Brighton, Vienna and Stockholm.

History
The Festival was organized for the first time in 2004.

According to its director, Mirek Chojecki, it was supposed to be one-time event aiming in presenting tradition of the Jewish cinema, from pre-war Yiddish movies made in Poland up to modern cinema of the 21st century. The festival received such positive attention both from international guests and Polish local audience that at the closing ceremony Chojecki said "see you next year" and this promise he keeps continuing. The "Jewish Motifs" festival became an annual event but only since 2004 as International Film Festival ("Jewish Motifs" International Film Festival).

Traditionally the opening and closing ceremonies are led by Andrzej Wajda (Polish film director) and (Polish-Jewish writer) Józef Hen.

Date
From the beginning, the festival has taken place regularly in Spring, around the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 – which is celebrated as according to the Hebrew (not Julian) calendar.

"Jewish Motifs" Association

In 2004 the group of organizers of first event has founded The Jewish Motifs Association which is a nonprofit organization responsible for organizing further editions of the festival. The Association organizes also post-festival shows and promotes festival movies at the other cultural events in Poland.

Program
The program consists of the following sections: feature, documentary, experimental, animation, short.

All the films presented, regardless of the competitive or non-competitive category, are eligible for the Audience Award.

Different educational aspect is learning-through-participation: volunteership and internship program offered by the festival. Each year there were from 15 to 80 participants of volunteer and internship program editions.

In 2018, at its 14th edition, the Festival organized a Masterclass workshop in film making led by Israeli document films director and producer Barak Heymann.

Each year the festival is also accompanied by additional events: from kosher cuisine cooking workshops to expert debates on recent topics.

Wang Maoshe (; born August 1957) is a former Chinese politician who served as the Communist Party Secretary of Yuncheng, a city in Shanxi province, between 2013 and 2014, and prior to that, party chief of Shuozhou. He was investigated for corruption and was expelled from the Chinese Communist Party in 2015.

Career
Wang was born and raised in the town of Hechuan of Anze County, Shanxi Province. He graduated from Shanxi Agricultural University.

Wang joined the workforce in July 1975, and joined the Chinese Communist Party in April 1982.

In December 2007, Wang was appointed the Deputy Party Secretary and Vice-Mayor of Jincheng, he was promoted to become the Mayor of Jincheng in April 2008. In February 2011, Wang was transferred to Shuozhou as the CPC Party Chief, a position he held until February 2013, when he was transferred laterally to become the party chief of Yuncheng.

Wang was a member of the 11th National People's Congress. Chinese media reported that Wang had close relations with two officials: Ling Zhengce and Du Shanxue.

Downfall
On June 4, 2014, it was announced that Wang was as being investigated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for "serious violations of laws and regulations".

After Wang was sacked, the party chief position in the city of Yuncheng, one of the "corruption disaster zones", was not filled for over a year, the longest such vacancy for any municipal party chief since the anti-corruption campaign began in 2012. He was succeeded by Henan native Wang Yuyan in August 2015. In the same month, Wang was expelled from the Communist Party; the report of his wrongdoing was authored by the Shanxi Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was accused of "vote-buying", adultery, taking bribes, and "continuing to take bribes after the 18th Party Congress".

On January 6, 2017, he was sentenced to 15 years and fined 5 million yuan for taking bribes by the Xuzhou Intermediate People's Court in Jiangsu. According to the indictment, he used his various positions between 2011 and 2014 in Shuozhou and Yuncheng to seek benefits for relevant organizations and individuals in job promotion, job adjustment and enterprise management. In return, he accepted money and property worth over 52.35 million yuan ($8.09 million) personally or through his relatives.
