title: Middlesex Wanderers A.F.C.

text:
Middlesex Wanderers A.F.C. is an English touring amateur football team.

History
When the Richmond Town Association F.C., which had developed from the Old Boys team of the British School in Richmond, Surrey, failed financially after undertaking a tour of France, two members, brothers Bob and Horace Alaway, formed a successor club, Richmond Town Wanderers, in 1905 with the initial intention of a farewell tour. However, the club flourished, pursuing its mission of spreading football to countries where it was less developed than in England.

By 1912, it had affiliated to the Middlesex County Football Association, adopted the name Middlesex Wanderers, and had begun to restrict membership of its touring teams to players with county representative honours or better. The club's constitution set out its remit as:
To promote a good fellowship among football clubs and other sporting organisations throughout the world.
To send teams of British footballers on tours abroad.
To play occasional football games in the British Isles and such other games as the Executive Committee may approve.

Early tours

1912 tour

The team included Alaway (goalkeeper), Palmer, Fisher, Alley, Gibson, Mitchell, Humphreys, Jeacocke, Guscott, Bowman and Cookson.

1913 tour

1914 tour

1939 tour

Wanderers' 50th tour, to Turkey in 1939, made them the first British club to visit that country; the team included international players from Wales and Ireland as well as England. They played a match with Fenerbahçe as part of that club's jubilee celebrations. Although the intention had been to remain in Istanbul, they responded to popular demand and also visited the capital, Ankara. On their return, Horace Alaway wrote to the Times commending the positive attitude of the Turkish people towards Britain, suggesting that efforts be made to strengthen business and industrial links, and pointing out that "Turkey has shrewd and intelligent leaders, but they need help and friendship, and they are looking to Britain more than to any other country".

The club co-operated with the Football Association (the FA) in undertaking a tour to the West Indies with a team comprising probables and possibles for selection for the 1960 Olympics in Rome. Norman Creek, who was to manage the British team, was liaison officer on the tour so was able to assess his potential players, who in turn were able to accustom themselves to the hotter temperatures and harder, drier pitches that they could expect in Italy. Later that year, Middlesex Wanderers were put forward by the FA to accept an invitation from the Nigerian government to play matches as part of the country's independence celebrations.

In 1967, Wanderers embarked on a tour of the Far East, beginning in Japan, paving the way for other European teams, including Arsenal who visited the following year. In the opening match, before which the party were presented to the brother of the Emperor, Wanderers beat the national team in front of 46,000 spectators, a record for a football match in Japan, and lost one and won one of the remaining two matches. A trophy presented by the club on their return visit in 1969, intended to encourage youth football, is still used for the National High School Soccer Tournament, and they have revisited the country several times since. In 2003, at a ceremony held at the Japanese Embassy in London, the club was presented with the Ambassador's Commendation in recognition of "its contribution to the promotion of football in Japan and to the cause of friendship between Japan and the United Kingdom." Shunichiro Okano, president of the Japan FA leading up to the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in Japan and South Korea, who was present at the ceremony, said that of all the football visitors to his country, "the most lasting impression has been that made by Middlesex Wanderers, on and off the field, with their friendly attitude and sportsmanship." They also played twice in South Korea in 1967, one victory and one defeat against the national team, and returned more than once, including for the 1977 President's Cup.

Victim for Victims: The Theresa Saldana Story is an American made-for-television biographical drama film starring Theresa Saldana playing herself about the attack she suffered in 1982 by a deranged stalker. The film brought the issue of stalking to public awareness. It aired on November 12, 1984 on NBC.

Plot

In 1982, Theresa Saldana is an American actress living in West Hollywood. When her mother calls from New York City and tells Theresa that she got a call from director Martin Scorsese's assistant about a film role in Europe, her husband, Fred Feliciano (Adrian Zmed), is concerned that this will again require her to go on location, requiring another separation. In reality, the call actually came from a stalker, trying to get her address which Theresa's mother unknowingly provided. Theresa takes precautions, but on March 15, 1982, when she leaves her apartment by herself, she is attacked and stabbed multiple times by deranged fan Arthur Richard Jackson (Philip English). Many people witness the attack but just stand back and do nothing until a deliveryman, Jeffrey Fenn (Ken Phillips), subdues Jackson. She survives the attack after emergency surgery. Afterwards she and her husband suffer from depression and post traumatic stress disorder, even though he works as a counselor himself. Theresa is worried about scarring. Since she can't work, she and her husband start to have financial problems. She meets with another crime victim and is distraught when she dies. Theresa then meets and thanks her rescuer, Jeff Fenn, which causes her husband to have doubts about himself and his relationship with Theresa. Theresa testifies at her attacker's preliminary hearing in a wheelchair amid a media frenzy. Theresa is traumatized when her injuries are photographed to be used as evidence. Theresa is finally able to move out of the hospital and her husband quits his job because he's not effective as a counselor as he spends so much time with Theresa.  Theresa and her husband decide to separate. Theresa learns that Jane Bladow (Mariclare Costello), a nurse at the nursing home she is staying at and whom she disliked for enforcing the home's restrictive rules, had once been the victim of an assault, but had no one to talk to about it. When Theresa later meets a school teacher, Miriam Schneider (Linda Carlson) who had also been attacked, Theresa decides to start a network of former victims to help each other psychologically recover by being able to talk and support each other. Arthur Jackson is found guilty and sentenced to 12 years. Her support group "Victims for Victims" attracts very much attention and many former crime victims join it.

title: Museum of Prehistoric Thera

text:
The Museum of Prehistoric Thera () is located in Fira, on the island of Santorini in Greece. It was built on the site of the old Ypapanti Church which was destroyed in the 1956 Amorgos earthquake.

The Museum houses a very large number of ancient artifacts from various excavations on Santorini, such as at Akrotiri (southwest part of the island, located on a peninsula), and at the nearby Potamos site.

The earliest excavations on Santorini were conducted by French geologist F. Fouque in 1867, after some local people found old artifacts at a quarry. Later, in 1895-1900, the digs by German archeologist Baron Friedrich Hiller von Gaertringen revealed the ruins of ancient Thera on Mesa Vouno. He focused on the settlements of 9th century BC there, believed to be a Spartan colony.

Also, a little later, R. Zahn excavated in the locality of Potamos, under the auspices of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens.

The main excavations at Akrotiri were conducted under the direction of the Archaeological Society of Athens.

Exposition

The Museum covers the island's history starting from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Cycladic I period. The history of Akrotiri goes back to 3300 B.C., and the city flourished especially during the mature Late Cycladic I period (17th century B.C.); the artefacts from this period are abundantly illustrated.

The collections are ordered chronologically, and include ceramics, sculptures, jewellery, wall paintings, and ritual objects. The monumental art of wall-painting is represented in great detail. The island's complex network of contacts with the outside world is also explained.

The Museum illustrates the Neolithic pottery found on the island, and Early Cycladic marble figurines and pottery.

In particular, the 'Kastri group' of objects illustrates the transitional phase from Late Cycladic II to Late Cycladic III period. The relevant artefacts are from the Christiana islets and Akrotiri.

Middle Cycladic pottery is represented by a series of impressive bird jugs, often featuring swallows. These objects – dating to 20th-18th century B.C. -- were found at Ftellos, Megalochori and Akrotiri.

Early Cycladic metal artefacts from different sites are also represented.

title: Tronics

text:
The Tronics were a London-based band that released records from 1979 to 1984. The band was formed and fronted by musician, songwriter, and music producer Zarjaz Baby, also known as Ziro Baby.

Background and influences
The band was known for being primitive and strange, with an underground reputation. They released a string of highly acclaimed records during the post-punk and new wave periods. Tronics has been recognised for releasing the first independent cassette album, Tronics, to be distributed both nationally and internationally. The Tronics' cassette album was soon followed by another cassette album of outsider art rock, in 1980, What's the Hubub Bub, that was later reissued on vinyl in 2013 on M'lady's Records. The last Tronics release was "Wild Cat Rock", a 7" record on Red Rhino Records in 1984.

Style and sound
The Tronics' style and sound saw several changes during their activity described as a clash of punk attitude, sixties psychedelic (Jimi Hendrix), a Velvet Underground comparison, the spirit of Rock 'n' Roll, a fine line between hypnotism and somnambulism, with a medieval atmosphere. Tronics recordings are mainly known to have influences from A Clockwork Orange, Marc Bolan and T. Rex, New York Dolls Johnny Burnette, Buddy Holly and Ronettes.

From their beginnings, Tronics and Zarjaz Baby were reported to be troubled by supernatural and paranormal events, described as everyday occurrences. In 1982, the NME reported that although Tronics attracted diverse groups of people, gangs of Hells Angels followed Tronics and were seen lining the back of Tronics audiences. In 1983, Zarjaz was reported to claim that he was married to Marilyn Monroe in the afterlife and that she had influenced him to create the sleeve artwork of 1983's Tronics "Wild Cat Rock" single depicting Marilyn Monroe on a subway air vent, with a tiger's head.

The end of Tronics and beyond
The Tronics series ended when Zarjaz Baby moved into other music areas, including the innovative development of classical music as pop music with The Zarjaz, La Leggenda Del Block releases, firstly on Creation Records in 1984, and then to release records with the band Freakapuss.
Tronics records remained highly collectible, being extensively bootlegged into the 21st century, including on the Messthetics series and then legitimately reissued, firstly on the Wrench Records CD reissue of the 1980 cassette album What's the Hubub Bub and then the Messthetics Greatest Hits album in 2006.

In 2013, UNCUT magazine noted that it had taken the best part of 30 years for the pop world to catch up to Zarjaz.

title: Evgeny Kurochkin

text:
Yevgeny Nikolayevich Kurochkin (Евгений Николаевич Курочкин; 12 July 1940 - 13 December 2011) was a Russian paleornithologist at the Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He served as President of the Menzbier Ornithological Society.

He graduated from the Moscow State University in 1964. Most of his field work was done in Central Asia, Mongolia, Cuba, and Vietnam. In 1982, Kurochkin described Ambiortus, which he thought to be the oldest ornithurine (modern-type bird). Kurochkin named the new species after his peer Georgi Petrovich Dementyev (1898-1969). In 2011, Kurochkin and Gareth J. Dyke described Eostrix tsaganica found in Mongolia, the first find of this primitive owl in Asia.

Opposing the theropod origin of modern birds, Kurochkin maintained that archosaurs and dinosaurs were two distinct lineages. He repeatedly questioned the assumption that Archaeopteryx and Enantiornithes were early birds. According to Kurochkin, those moderately derived theropods became extinct without leaving any descendants. He also supported the Protoavis hypothesis by Sankar Chatterjee.

The Aquila kurochkini Boev 2013, an extinct eagle from Bulgaria, is named after Yevgeny Kurochkin, as is the Longusunguis kurochkini Wang, Zhou, O’Connor et Zelenkov, 2014(first described in 2014).
Other bird species named after Yevgeny Kurochkin are:
Anas kurochkini Zelenkov et Panteleyev, 2014, Palaelodus kurochkini Zelenkov, 2013, Zheroia kurochkini Nessov, 1988, Falco kurochkini Suárez et Olson, 2001, Glaucidium kurochkini Campbell et Bocheński, 2012, Euronyctibius kurochkini Mourer-Chauviré, 1989 and Evgenavis nobilis O'Connor et al., 2014.

title: South Boston High School

text:
South Boston High School was a public high school located in South Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It was part of Boston Public Schools.  The school closed in 2003, and its former facility is currently occupied by Excel High School.

History
South Boston High School was built on Telegraph Hill in Dorchester Heights in 1901. It was the first high school in the South Boston neighborhood.

During the Boston busing crisis in the 1970s, several racial incidents took place at the school. On September 12, 1974, the first day of school, only 124 students attended. The school anticipated an enrollment of about 1,300.

On November 20, several fights broke out in the school. It began when a white male student let a door slam in the face of a black female student.

An even more violent incident occurred several weeks later on December 11, when Michael Faith, a white male student, was stabbed by another student, a Black male. News of his stabbing spread quickly around the neighborhood and by mid-afternoon, about 700 people had surrounded the school to confront the black students at the end of the school day. the students were able to escape when the crowd chased after three decoy buses.

In 1975, the Boston School Committee was stripped of most of its control over Boston school integration. Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. said that desegregation was not working at South Boston High School and accused the school committee of thwarting his court order. The school was placed into receivership that year under the administration of a district superintendent.

South Boston High School continued to receive negative attention for the violence that erupted there in 1974. In 1980, Michael Tierney and Danis Terris founded and launched Mosaic, a publication consisting of autobiographical stories, photographs and poetry from students at South Boston High School.

The school building, now renamed the South Boston Education Complex, houses Excel High School.

It is located on 95 G St. South Boston, MA.

title: Marty Grebb

text:
Martin Joseph Grebb (September 2, 1945 – January 1, 2020) was an American keyboardist, guitarist, and saxophonist. A member of The Buckinghams in the late 1960s, Grebb was also a record producer and an arranger, who worked with musicians including Peter Cetera, Bill Payne, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Etta James, and Leon Russell.

Early life
Marty Grebb was born and raised in Chicago. He began studying music after his eighth birthday. His early interest in music can be attributed to his father, Harry, who was a saxophonist and played in the big-band era, both on the road and in the clubs of Chicago. However, Marty chose piano as his first instrument, turning to saxophone only two years later.

Career

In 1966, a local band, The Buckinghams, required the services of a keyboardist, and Marty Grebb was asked to team up with them. Around this time, the band members were introduced to James William Guercio, a former bassist and road manager for Chad & Jeremy who found them a management contract with Ebbins-Guercio Associates. The band went on to have three (Billboard) and five (Cashbox) top-ten national selling singles and three top twenty albums with Marty Grebb for Columbia Records.

After the Buckinghams, Grebb toured with a number of artists, including Leon Russell, Elton John, Muddy Waters, and most notably Bonnie Raitt as a member of her band for 25 years. He was also a touring member of Chicago in 1980 and 1981.

Later, Grebb was a member of The Weight Band, featuring former members and collaborators of The Band. Grebb contributed to The Band's Jericho and Jubilation albums. In July 2017, PBS's Infinity Hall Live program aired a televised performance by The Weight Band, featuring new music by the band.

Grebb died on January 1, 2020.

title: Timeline of US Navy airship units (pre-WWII)

text:
Unlike later blimp squadrons, which contained several airships, the large rigid airship units consisted of a single airship and, in the case of the USS Akron and USS Macon, a small contingent of fixed-wing aircraft.

1910s

1919
A semi rigid airship, the O-1, is purchased from Italy

October,
The ZR-2 (R38) is placed under contract from Britain, where construction had been started on it as the R38.

1920s

1921
The first large US airship hangar is built at Lakehurst, New Jersey

On the fourth test flight of R-38 severe control inputs at low altitude and high speed cause the structural failure of the airship with the loss of the majority of the crew. Sixteen of the men killed were USN training to fly the ship back to Cape May, NJ.  The ZR-2 (R38) crashed before the US Navy could take delivery of the airship; therefore ZR-2 did not officially receive its US designation, though it was painted with its planned Navy designation.

1922

The first American-built rigid airship, the , is built in Hangar No. 1 at Lakehurst, New Jersey.

1923
August 20,
The , is christened.

September,
USS Shenandoah is launched and flown from Lakehurst, New Jersey.  It was the first ship to be inflated with the noble gas helium, which was so rare that the Shenandoah contained most of the world's reserves.

1924
The United States Navy purchases and takes delivery from Germany of the USS Los Angeles (ZR-3); the only German-built (as LZ 126) US Navy airship.  The Los Angeles was paid for with "war reparations" money, owed according to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, thus saving The Zeppelin Works. The success of the Los Angeles encouraged the US Navy to invest in its own, larger, airships. The Los Angeles' flew successfully for 8 years.

November 25,
USS Los Angeles is commissioned in Lakehurst, NJ. The two airships  USS Shenandoah and USS Los Angeles had to share the limited supply of helium, and thus alternated operating and overhauls.

The Los Angeles flew successfully for 8 years.

1925
September 3,
USS Shenandoah was lost on a poorly planned publicity flight when it flew into a severe thunderstorm over Noble County, Ohio. It broke into pieces, killing 14 of its crew.

 1926
June 24 (Washington, DC),
The Navy department authorizes construction of two large dirigibles, named USS Akron (ZRS-4) and USS Macon (ZRS-5), to be the nucleus of the modern Air Force.

The US Navy developed the idea of using airships as airborne aircraft carriers, although the British had experimented with an airplane "trapeze" on their R33 .  The USS Los Angeles was used to experiment with the project, followed by two other airships, the world's largest at the time, to test the principle—the  and . Each carried four F9C Sparrowhawk fighters in its hangar, and could carry a fifth on the trapeze. The idea had mixed results. By the time the Navy started to develop a sound doctrine for using the ZRS-type airships, the last of the two built, USS Macon, was lost. The seaplane had become more mature, and was considered a better investment.

 1929
A metalclad-airship, ZMC-2, is built by the Aircraft Development Corp (scrapped in 1941)

 1930s

 1931
The Empire State Building completed in 1931, was fitted with a dirigible mast, in anticipation of passenger airship service.  Various entrepreneurs experimented with commuting and shipping freight via airship.

August 8,
the USS Akron is launched.

 1932
The (ZR-3) Los Angeles is decommissioned.

 1933
April 3,
USS Akron was caught in a severe storm and flown into the surface of the sea off the shore of New Jersey. It carried no life boats and few life vests, so 73 of its crew of 76 died from drowning or hypothermia.

April 21,
the USS Macon is launched.

 1935
February 12,
USS Macon was lost after suffering a structural failure offshore near Point Sur Lighthouse. The failure caused a loss of gas, which was made much worse when the aircraft was driven over pressure height causing it to lose too much helium to maintain flight. Only 2 of its crew of 83 died in the crash thanks to the inclusion of life jackets and inflatable rafts after the Akron'' disaster.

1940
The (ZR-3) Los Angeles is dismantled.

title: Ladadika

text:
Ladadika () is the name of a historic district and a landmark area of the city of Thessaloniki, Greece.

It locates near the Port of Thessaloniki and for centuries was one of the most important market places of the city. Its name came about from the many olive oil shops of the area. Many Jews of the city were living there, while the so-called "Frankish district", with the French/Italian merchants and residents, was located beside.

In the years before World War I it came to form the red light district, with the area starting to host many brothels. In 1985, Ladakika was listed as a heritage site by the Ministry of Culture. Its notable architectural style with 19th century buildings is preserved and protected.

Nowadays, having undergone gentrification in the 1980s, Ladadika forms the entertainment district of the city, hosting bars, nightclubs, restaurants, and pubs in what used to be old oil stores and merchant warehouses, which spill out into a network of pedestrianized streets and small squares, like Morichovou Square, popular place for tourists.

"The modernisation of commerce in the 19th century generated the replenishment of the typology of the markets and the stores. Ladadika, the market in the area of the harbour, is a characteristic example. It is a distinctive unit, which is differentiated from the surroundings (the basic core is surrounded by Tsimiski, Salaminas, Kountourioti and I. Dragoumi Streets), as it preserved to great extent the features of its original urban and architectural structure, despite the considerable change of use during the recent years, while the stores were converted into contemporary recreation centres as well as the so called ambiguous "embellishing" interventions of the owners and the municipality."
"After the 1978 earthquake and the early 1980s, most of these heterogeneous buildings, the warehouses and shops where olive oil, spices and other foodstuffs were formerly traded - premises that later hosted scores of brothels - were gradually abandoned and the area degenerated into third-world conditions. It was then that the first thoughts were expressed on the overall regeneration, which commenced in the early 1990s. Fortunately, the buildings were saved from demolition due to possible changes in the street system, but the logic of tasteless stage set was adopted. In just a few years the wider area was turned into a "fun park" of dubious aesthetics, as the traditional functions of trade, typical of the harbour marketplace, had been curtailed to the minimum."

title: Lester Gertrude Ellen Rowntree

text:
Lester Gertrude Ellen Rowntree (1879–1979), a renowned field botanist and horticulturalist, was a pioneer in the study, propagation, and conservation of California native plants. In numerous journal and magazine articles, books, and public lectures, she shared her extensive knowledge of wildflowers and shrubs while arguing tirelessly for their protection.

A self-proclaimed “lady-gypsy”, Rowntree spent most of each year doing fieldwork in California and the West while living outdoors, believing that the only way to know native plants was to live with them for weeks at a time in their natural surroundings.    Because of her reputation as a field botanist, Rowntree has been compared favorably to David Douglas, the 19th century British botanist who first documented western North American flora. Joan Parry Dutton writes: “There are striking similarities between Lester Rowntree and David Douglas. In fact, Lester could be Douglas’ plant-wise and spiritual descendant [for] Lester's knowledge of California wild flowers is unrivaled; it is safe she knows more about them than Douglas ever knew. "

Biography
Born Gertrude Ellen Lester to a Quaker family in Penrith, England, she spent the first ten years of her life in the picturesque landscape of the Lakes District, nurturing a deep appreciation of nature and an outdoor life. In 1889 Lester’s family relocated to the United States, to a homestead in Kansas where two of her siblings died because of a contaminated water supply. After these disastrous two years in Kansas the Lester family moved to a Quaker community near Los Angeles; it was here that Lester first became acquainted with the California wildflowers that became her life’s passion. Although Lester attended high school at Westtown outside of Philadelphia, and settled originally in New Jersey after marriage to Bernard Rowntree (also of a Quaker family) in 1908, and where their only child, Cedric Rowntree, was born in 1911, they relocated back to southern California in 1920, and then to the Carmel Highlands (a few miles south of Carmel itself) in 1925. There, on property overlooking the Pacific, Lester began her career with native plants. By 1930 she owned a business, Lester Rowntree & Company in Carmel, Ca. which sold wildflower seeds to gardeners across the country. She never gathered seeds in the wild to sell directly but took just enough wild-seed to propagate seed stock in her garden. Domestic matters, however, suffered and in 1931 Lester and Bernard divorced; Lester moved up the hill above the coastal pine forest where she built a small wooden house and nursery on several acres that became her garden and home base until her death in 1979, five days after her 100th birthday.

Writing
Lester Rowntree was a talented and prolific writer, authoring two well-received books on native plants and shrubs, four children’s books, and over 700 magazine, newspaper, and journal articles. A full bibliography of her writings is found as an appendix in the 2006 reprinting of “Hardy Californians”.

A sample of Rowntree's lively prose follows, taken from her article “The Lone Hunter” published in the June 1939 issue of The Atlantic Monthly.
	“It took adversity to bring me the sort of life I have always longed for. Not until after my domestic happiness had gone to smash did I realize that I was free to trek up and down the long state of California, and to satisfy my insistent curiosity about plants, to find them in their homes meeting their days and seasons, to write down their tricks and manners in my notebook, to photograph their flowers, to collect their seeds, to bring home seedlings in cans just emptied of tomato juice.
	“ I didn't take up this for the poetry of it. I had no ambition to become a picturesque Lady-Gypsy. I honestly wanted to find out about California wild flowers. There was little written about them in their habitats and nothing at all about their behavior in the garden, so I made it my job to discover the facts for myself....
	"I inhabit my hillside only from November to February, while the winter storms are blowing and the winter rains pouring. In March and April I have long shining days on the desert, in May happy weeks in the foothills, where a chorus of robins wakes me and my morning bath is in a rushing stream of just-melted snow. In June I am in the northern counties scented with new-mown hay and wild strawberries. In July in the higher mountains, and in August and September up in the alpine zone with mule or burro.”

Legacy
Writer and horticulturalist Judith Larner Lowry comments on Rowntree's legacy: “Today, it would be hard to find a professional in the field of native plant horticulture who was not, at some point, inspired by Lester Rowntree. The model of her double focus, wildland exploration and landscape use of plants, is followed by numerous California native plant horticulturists, from arboretum directors to landscapers to nursery professionals, who make regular trips into the wild for the pleasure of observing plants in their homes and to collect seeds and cuttings for propagation.”

title: Valash

text:
Valash (Middle Persian: Wardākhsh/Walākhsh, ), was an Iranian prince from the House of Karen, who later became the ruler of Tabaristan in 665.

He was the grandson of the nobleman Adhar Valash, and thus a descendant of Sukhra, a prominent Iranian nobleman who controlled much of the affairs of the Sasanian Empire. In 665, Valash murdered Farrukhzad who was the ruler of Tabaristan, and then conquered his domains, thus becoming the sole ruler of Tabaristan. Farrukhzad's son, Surkhab I, then fled to a Bavand stronghold in Mazandaran to avoid Valash. In 673, Surkhab avenged his father by killing Valash, and then reconquered Tabaristan from Valash.

title: Janet King (character)

text:
Janet King is a fictional character from the Australian ABC1 legal dramas Crownies and Janet King, played by Marta Dusseldorp. She debuted on-screen in the first episode of Crownies broadcast on 14 July 2011.  To prepare, Dusseldorp researched legal cases and observed prosecutors in court. She also visited the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions Nicholas Cowdery and shadowed Margaret Cunneen SC, a Senior Crown Prosecutor and model for the character Janet King. Janet is characterised as a "tough and tenacious" Senior Crown Prosecutor who has worked in the DPP office for ten years. The character is in a same-sex relationship and has children via IVF. When Crownies finished airing plans were made to create a spin-off show centric to the character. Janet King was produced in 2013 with Dusseldorp returning to the title role. The actress has stated that she made deliberate changes to ensure Janet listened to others more often.

The character has been well received by critics. Glen Humphries of the Illawarra Mercury opined that Janet was a "standout character" and Debi Enker labeled her one of Crownies "better" characters. Crikey's Ben Neutze said Janet was the viewers’ favourite. Guy Davis from The Newcastle Herald named her a role model for junior solicitors. While ABC1 Controller Brendan Dahill has publicised his admiration of Dusseldorp's portrayal. In 2014, Dusseldorp won the AACTA Award for Best Lead Actress in a Television Drama for her portrayal of Janet.

Development

Creation and casting
The character was conceived by associate producer Hilary Bonney and co-producer Jane Allen. Bonney explained that Janet developed from their "combined experiences", as she is a barrister and Allen is a criminal lawyer and writer. Janet is also gay, like Allen. Bonney wrote, "she is a bit of both of us, and of all the women we know and admire who work in criminal law." On 24 January 2011, Greg Hassall from The Sydney Morning Herald announced Dusseldorp's involvement in the show. The following month, Les Kennedy of The Sun-Herald revealed that she had been cast as the drama's senior Crown prosecutor. Dusseldorp spent eight months filming the role for Crownies.

Preparation

In preparation for the role Dusseldorp researched numerous legal cases and observed prosecutors behaviour before judges in district courts. She and fellow cast member Lewis Fitz-Gerald (who plays David Sinclair) visited and was welcomed by the Director of Public Prosecutions Nicholas Cowdery. She also shadowed a Senior Crown Prosecutor, Margaret Cunneen SC. Her time with Margaret Cunneen SC found her attending conferences with defence lawyers, psychiatrists and a victim. She also inspected the New South Wales Director of Public Prosecutions office. Dusseldorp found the experience "humbling" and became "addicted" to the serious nature surrounding cases. Dusseldorp explained to a reporter from Lawyers Weekly that she found it challenging when she realised "how atrocious" most cases are. She credited her research for her admiration of the job prosecutors do for the community.

Dusseldorp used her experiences to portray Janet. She told Wendy Tuohy of the Herald Sun she wanted to capture the "public/private dichotomy" of a Prosecutor. She believed they had slight arrogance and were calm and collected when in court. They would not decide to prosecute unless they believed in a conviction. Dusseldorp stated "I feel very much when I do the show I am always working with the truth, and on the right side."

Characterisation

Janet studied law at the University of Sydney before being awarded with a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford University. She is an experienced barrister and has worked in the DPP's office for ten years. She is characterised as tough and tenacious, with a sharp tongue and mind. The actress described Janet as "complicated, competent, risky, vicious, loving." Dusseldorp was loath to portray Janet as too "hard-nosed and ball-breaking". Despite Janet's strong willed nature, she said of her portrayal, "I've tried to confess to the audience when I can that she's actually as fragile and full of feeling and love for humanity." The actress also admired how self-assured Janet is.

Dusseldorp has tried to play Janet with little compassion because becoming emotionally involved with victims is not helpful for prosecutors' cases. Instead her compassion is learned over time through situations arising in her personal life. But one storyline really challenged the actress. When Janet deals with a case of child murder, Dusseldorp found it difficult to say her lines without crying. Knowing that Janet would not become emotional she had to overcome the predicament. The series does explore light-hearted stories. Dusseldorp has stated that she plays Janet more "wry than dry" in such scenarios. Dusseldorp's hair was coloured by stylist Timothy Cole especially for the role.

Janet is a lesbian and Dusseldorp told Graeme Watson from "Out in Perth" that viewers were happy with it. She believed that depiction of lesbian characters was not prevalent. She liked her character because
“she was one of the most all rounded women” she had played. She told Sacha Molitorisz from The Age "not to give anything away, she's in a lesbian relationship and things spin out of control a bit." Janet becomes pregnant via in vitro fertilisation and as a mother of two, Dusseldorp felt able to portray pregnancy accurately. The pregnancy and relationship storyline was played out as a background sub-plot.

Janet King spin-off
Prior to Crownies final airing, ABC1 Channel Controller Brendan Dahill revealed that he wanted a spin-off to be created. He also cited Dusseldorp and Michael as his favourite performers. On 20 August 2012, ABC TV confirmed that it had commissioned an "8-part legal and political thriller" titled Janet King. ABC's Head of Fiction, Carole Sklan branded Janet a "fabulous character" and the series would be "exciting" and centric around Janet. She added "the series looks at the dilemmas of a contemporary woman who returns to work after a year's maternity leave and is flung into a shocking prosecution that involves layers of intrigue played out at the highest levels of power. Janet King's case leads her through some astounding twists and revelations that impact on her life on every level." Screentime's Des Monaghan said that it had become obvious to his company and the ABC that the audience had developed "a great deal" of affection for the character of Janet and was happy to build on that success. It was also revealed that more of the cast of Crownies would return alongside Dusseldorp. Sklan later revealed more details in a press release. She stated "Janet returns to the DPP to confront a high-profile murder and a conspiracy which will threaten to unravel her life and everything she loves." She also praised Dusseldorp's portrayal of Janet as "compelling and captivating".

Dusseldorp loves playing Janet but often finds the experience a "harrowing" one. She told Elissa Blake from The Sydney Morning Herald that Janet "never shuts up". She believed that in Crownies Janet did not listen to others - "she knew what she knew and that was that". But she deliberately played her differently in Janet King and despite admiring her superior trait; Dusseldorp felt the need to tone it down. Janet's foray into motherhood also makes her uncertain if she wants to return to work. The actress added that "then, just as she's wondering if it's all worth it, she's propelled into a series of horrors."

Storylines
Janet's prosecutes in a case of a murdered teenager. She and Lina Badir (Andrea Demetriades) then go to the trial and the suspect is found guilty. When a secret file is leaked to the press, Janet reprimands Lina, Erin O'Shaughnessy (Ella Scott Lynch), Ben McMahon (Todd Lasance), Richard Stirling (Hamish Michael) and Tatum Novak (Indiana Evans). The Office of the DPP becomes under bombardment from journalists. Janet and David make it clear that they will end the career of the culprit. Janet then deals with more harrowing cases ranging from child murder to a drawn-out fraud case.

Erin learns that Janet is pregnant and they form a friendship. But when Erin turns a case down Janet becomes harsh with her explaining that she needs to become less emotionally involved. Janet uses her experience to get Tina Chang (Tasneem Roc) to testify in court but she is later attacked. This and other cases make her feel the pressure of work and pregnancy. She then helps Ben on a case following the murder of his grandfather. Janet is faced with many problems but some advice from Tony Gillies (Peter Kowitz) secures a prosecution. Janet goes to have her first scan with partner Ashleigh Larsson (Aimee Pedersen). They later discover that they are having twins but there is a possibility of a foetal disability. When she later discovers the sex of the babies she accidentally tells Ash when, after Ash has bought the cribs for the twins, Janet says "just don't buy one blue and one pink bedding", which reveals the babies' sex. Ash is elated at the prospect of having a boy and a girl.

Janet and Lina become conflicted over the mental state of a child accused of murder, Max Gardiner (Nicholas Bakopoulos-Cooke). Despite Janet's reluctance to prosecute him, David forces her to. The case proves controversial in the office and Janet and Lina fail to change their stance on the case. Following a series of developments Max eventually is found innocent. Janet is shocked when Max is found dead and promises to try to help the family again. She also promises to help Sean Gardiner (David Franklin) defeat charges but the DPP override her. Janet helps Erin out following her troubles but then Erin gets drunk at Janet's during dinner that evening. Erin apologises by throwing a baby shower for Janet. Janet's maternity leave approaches but she continues with large work loads. David decides Janet should be shifted onto smaller cases instead despite her reluctance. Janet goes into labour without Ash and Erin is forced to comfort her.

Reception
Ben Neutze from Crikey believed that Janet was the viewers favourite Crownies character. He opined that combined with Dusseldorp's raised acting profile the spin-off series would be successful. "Out in Perth's" Watson branded her a "professional, detached, incredibly intelligent, ambitious and amazing" character. A writer from Lawyers Weekly branded Janet the "head-honcho" of Crownies. Guy Davis from The Newcastle Herald branded Janet a mentor and role model to the junior solicitors. Glen Humphries of the Illawarra Mercury opined that Janet was a "standout character" and "hard-nosed workaholic". Critic Debi Enker has also echoed that Janet was one of Crownies "better" characters and Dusseldorp one of the "standout" actors. The Sydney Morning Herald's Ruth Ritchie said "perennial hard workers Jeanette Cronin, Marta Dusseldorp, Lewis Fitz-Gerald and Peter Kowitz are all at their best. They bring nuance and heft to their wonderfully written characters." His colleague Doug Anderson described Janet as a veteran solicitor who "is as tough as they come but she is also vulnerable".

Nicholas Cowdery of The Sun-Herald said that Janet represented "the independence and courage of the DPP" and viewed it as "heartening". While fellow reporter Elissa Blake described her "fearless lawyer with cool intelligence and subtle sex appeal." While Greg Hassall believed Janet was one of the show's strong characters and Dusseldorp deserved a Logie Award. The Age's Larissa Dubecki said that Dusseldorp's portrayal of Janet taking on the case of Ben's grandfather death "exudes gravitas"; despite having to recite "clunky expository dialogue about the jury system".

For her portrayal of Janet, Dusseldorp won the Best Lead Actress in a Television Drama accolade at the 4th AACTA Awards in 2014. The following year, she was nominated for the Logie Award for Most Outstanding Actress.

title: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I (1994 video game)

text:
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I is an action role-playing game produced by Interplay Productions for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is an adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Gameplay
The player begins the game as Frodo Baggins, and progressively acquires the remaining members of the Fellowship; Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf (Boromir strangely only makes a single brief appearance). With the addition of extra controllers and the Super Multitap, the game supported more than four players. Players could play as Frodo, Samwise, Pippin, Merry, Gimli, and Aragorn. Using cheats or an emulator, players could also play as a non-combatant Legolas or Gandalf, supporting up to 8 players (although Legolas cannot do anything but move around and take damage). Any characters not controlled by the player(s) are controlled by the computer A.I..

The game progresses through a series of "fetch quests" in which the player must explore vast environments to retrieve items relevant to the game's story. These items are often simple trinkets that have been misplaced by the game's non-player characters (NPCs). Much like the book, the game begins in the Shire, the land of the Hobbits. The game's plot takes the player to various locations from the book, such as the village of Bree, the elven city of Rivendell, and the Mines of Moria. Unlike the book, however, the finale of the game is the fight between the Fellowship and the Balrog creature in the Mines of Moria (the first volume of the book ends significantly later).

If a character dies, the death is permanent and the player cannot use them for the rest of the game.

The sequel, The Lord of the Rings: Volume II, was meant to pick up where Part I left off, but due to poor sales, no sequel was ever released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Reception

GamePro panned the game, citing gameplay dominated by "long, indistinguishable romps", overly small character and enemy sprites, limited character upgrade features, poor support character AI, and low difficulty. In contrast, Electronic Gaming Monthly remarked "a slower-paced RPG for more deliberate playing ... This game has rewards for the patient player." They scored it a 6.6 out of 10.

The game was poorly received in a 2004 1up.com review, citing poor AI and hours of "lengthy and boring" fetch quests.

text:
The Schröder family is a Hanseatic family of Hamburg, that is, a family that belonged to the historical ruling class of grand burghers (also known more broadly in English as patricians) of the city republic prior to the constitutional changes in 1918–19. The Schröder family has traditionally been Lutheran.

Notable members
Christian Matthias Schröder (1742–1821), a native of Quakenbrück, became a Hamburg merchant and acquired the hereditary grand burghership. He founded the well-known firm Christ. Matthias Schröder & Co., with branches in Bremen, Amsterdam, London, St. Petersburg and Riga. He was elected a senator in 1799 and served as First Mayor of Hamburg, i.e. head of state and head of government of the sovereign city republic, from 1816 until his death in 1821. He was married to Luise Mutzenbecher (1754–1813), a member of a prominent Hamburg family.

They were the parents of Christian Mathias Schröder (1778–1860), who succeeded him as head of the firm and also became a Hamburg senator (1821–1859), and of Johann Heinrich Schröder, who settled in London and founded the investment bank Schroders. In 1868, Johann Heinrich Schröder was ennobled by Prussia and received the title of Freiherr (Baron).

Christian Matthias Schröder was the grandfather of Hamburg First Mayor Carl August Schröder. The firm Christ. Matthias Schröder & Co. went bankrupt in 1858.

Bruno Schroder was a non-executive director of Schroders and a member of the company's nominations committee.
