title: Antonio Castellanos

text:
Antonio Castellanos Basich (born 5 March 1946) is a Mexican sculptor. He is probably best known for his large sculpture of Antonio de Montesinos delivering his sermon at the seafront of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic (1982) and the geometrical cubic forms he added to the St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican (1977).

Career
In 1963-4 he studied drawing at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas and painting and sculpture at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, and was apprenticed to his stepfather sculptor Federico Canessi in the 1960s and 1970s. Castellanos and Canessi's projects included the monument at Netzahualcoyotl Dam in Malpaso, Chiapas, the Mahatma Gandhi Monument in Chapultepec, Mexico City, the Salvador Allende monument in Ciudad Sahagún, Hidalgo (1973), and the 7-metre high Father Kino monument (1974) and the General Ignacio Zaragoza equestrian monument (1976) in Tijuana.

In May 1977, Antonio Castellanos, Ricardo Cruz and Fundatier Galindo contributed the geometrical cubic forms in the St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Castellanos is noted for his large sculpture of Antonio de Montesinos delivering his sermon facing the Caribbean sea at the seafront of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. The stone and bronze statue is 15 meters tall and was donated to the Dominican people by the Mexican government and inaugurated in 1982 by the presidents of Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Castellanos is also noted for his "monumental head" of Diego Rivera at the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico City

In 1967 Castellanos was awarded an Award of Honor for his sculpture "Germinación" at the Biennial Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City. Antonio Espinoza stated that he "stands out for his interpretations of femininity and maternity".

title: Huntland (Middleburg, Virginia)

text:
Huntland, originally known as New Lisbon, is a historic estate located at Middleburg, Loudoun County, Virginia.  The original section was built in 1834, and is a  two-story, five bay, Federal style brick dwelling.  It built by master brickmason William Benton Sr., who also constructed nearby Oak Hill, the home of President James Monroe.  In 1915, the house was remodeled and enlarged with side one-story brick additions and Colonial Revival-style detailing. The estate was also enhanced with gates, walls, and terraced gardens that are reminiscent of English manor estates and  state-of-the-art kennels and horse stables. Also on the property are the contributing spring house, smokehouse, and a guest cottage, all constructed around 1834, and early-20th-century structures that include secondary dwellings, a dairy barn with attached silos and a corncrib, a milking parlor, five sheds, a garage, a pump house, and a cistern.

The Huntland estate was once devoted primarily to foxhunting, a sport that reinvigorated the economy of the region in the early-20th century. Between 1955 and 1963, the estate was owned by George R. Brown and Herman Brown of Houston, Texas, and Huntland became a retreat for notable Washington dignitaries including Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1962, secret international negotiations were conducted at Huntland that resulted in the New York Agreement between Indonesia, the Netherlands and the United Nations centering on the future of Western New Guinea.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

title: Christ Church, Sparkbrook

text:
Christ Church, Sparkbrook is a church in the Anglican Diocese of Birmingham.

History

The original Christ Church building was opened in 1867. The spire was removed in 1918 and the tower taken down after damage by a blast in the Second World War. It was badly damaged in the 2005 Birmingham tornado and was subsequently demolished, despite a campaign by the Victorian Society to save it. A useful replacement building was dedicated in 2013, and a small but vibrant Christian community continues to meet there, serving the people of Sparkbrook.

title: Ibn Marzuban

text:
Abu Ahmad 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Ali ibn Marzuban Tabib Marzubani, better simply known as Ibn Marzuban (), was a Persian official and physician who served the Buyids. He was a disciple of Avicenna.

Not much is known about him; he traced his descent back to a family native to Isfahan. However, during the most of his lifetime he lived in Baghdad and in Khuzestan instead of his native city. During his early life, he was educated in science and religious law. He later became the judge of Shushtar and the head of the famous al-'Adudi Hospital in Baghdad. Ibn Marzuban later died in 1006 at Shushtar.

title: Lina Scott Gatty

text:
Lina Mary Scott Gatty OBE (24 February 1873 – 15 April 1964), was a British Liberal Party politician. She was born Lina Mary Hart Dyke, and died as Lina Mary Crivellari. She was awarded the Order of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium. She was awarded an OBE in 1918 for her work as honorary secretary of the Huntingdonshire County Association of Voluntary Workers.

Background
She was the eldest daughter of Rt Hon. Sir William Hart Dyke, and Emily Caroline Montagu. She was the niece of Edward Montagu, 8th Earl of Sandwich. In 1902 she married Alexander John Scott Scott-Gatty. In 1903 they had a son Edward Comyn Scott-Gatty. They divorced in 1926. In 1931 she married Antonio Crivellari.

Politics
In 1920 she was a member of the English Speaking Union.
She was a leading Conservative in Huntingdonshire before joining the Liberal party. She was a Member of Huntingdonshire County Council. She served on Hospital Boards and School Managers' Committees. She was selected as Liberal candidate for the Huntingdonshire Division at the 1922 General Election. This was her home constituency and one that had been represented by her Uncle, Lord Sandwich. It was a safe Unionist seat. Any hopes she might have entertained of winning were dashed when a Labour candidate entered the contest to split the ant-Unionist vote.

She did not stand for parliament again but remained active in the Liberal party. She worked closely with Leonard Costello who succeeded her as Liberal candidate, winning the seat when Labour withdrew in 1923. In 1924 she was elected to the Council of the Women's National Liberal Federation.  In 1926 she was Treasurer of the Eastern Counties Liberal Federation.

title: Yun Sung-bin

text:
Yun Sung-Bin (Hangul: 윤성빈; born 23 May 1994) is a South Korean skeleton racer. He won the gold medal in men's skeleton at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and was a participant at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Early life and education
Born in 1994 in South Korea's southern coastal region of Namhae, South Gyeongsang Province, Yun grew up knowing nothing about the winter sliding sport. Still, as a child, Yun always enjoyed running around at the beach and excelled in many sports at school, including soccer, badminton, competitive running, and jumping, among others.

Yun moved to Seoul when he was in middle school and continued playing sports at school, hoping to get into a sports university. In 100-metre races, he would ask to start 10 metres back from others his age and still beat other runners. At 1.78 metres in height, he could grab a basketball rim with ease. While playing basketball in high school, Yun's natural athletic ability was noticed by his physical education teacher, Kim Young-tae, who was also serving as one of the officials at the Korea Bobsleigh Skeleton Federation at the time.

Yun attended Korea National Sport University, who had recruited him from his teacher's recommendation.

Career
Yun is known for his exceptional agility and athleticism, enabling him to pick things up in the sport quickly. Yun is also famous for his Iron Man-like helmet, which makes it appear that the Marvel comic hero is flying full-speed ahead when Yun is on the track.

Yun started skeleton at the age of 18 in early 2012, and after three-month training, he won the national championship in September 2012. Yun made his international debut in the 2012–13 season, appearing at the North American Cup Tour. Yun first garnered attention in the 2013–14 season when he was ranked fifth overall at the 2013–14 FIBT Intercontinental Cup Tour. He won gold in the sixth round of the tour in Whistler, Canada on 5–6 January 2014, becoming the first Korean skeleton slider to finish on top of the podium at an international event.

Yun finished his first Olympic competition with a disappointing 16th place in Sochi. Yun, however, flourished in the 2014–15 season under the tutelage of British sled specialist Richard Bromley, a co-founder of Bromley Sports, one of the world's top sled manufacturing companies. Yun recorded his first World Cup podium with a bronze at Calgary in December 2014. In the overall 2014–15 World Cup rankings, Yun finished his rookie season in sixth place with one silver and two bronze.

In the 2015–16 season, Yun earned his first World Cup gold medal in the seventh round in St. Moritz, along with a silver at the 2016 IBSF World Championships in Igls, finishing the season's overall World Cup rankings in second place with one gold, three silver, and two bronze.

In the 2016–17 season, Yun earned his second World Cup gold medal in the first round in Whistler. He finished the season's overall World Cup rankings in second place with one gold, three silver, and two bronze.

Yun won the overall 2017–18 World Cup, becoming the first Asian athlete to ever win the overall title in the Skeleton World Cup. Despite opting to miss the World Cup finale in Königssee, he managed to score a total of 1,545 points from five wins and two silver medals, giving him enough to win the overall standings ahead of Axel Jungk (1,507 points) and Tomass Dukurs (1,464).

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Yun captured a gold medal, becoming the first athlete from outside Europe and North America to win an Olympic sliding medal and the first athlete from South Korea to win a Winter Olympic medal in a non-ice skating event. His four-run time of 3 minutes, 20.55 seconds was 1.63 seconds ahead of silver medalist Nikita Tregubov of Russia. It was the biggest victory margin in Olympic skeleton, topping 1948 when Italy's Nino Bibbia topped Jack Heaton of the United States by 1.4 seconds in a six-heat race.

2015: As Jon Anderson (unique show)

2015: As APB (Better Late Than Never Tour)
In support of the Anderson Ponty Band's debut album, Better Late Than Never (released on 25 September 2015), a 17-date North America Fall 2015 tour named the "Better Late Than Never" tour was scheduled, starting on 23 October 2015 in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and ending on 21 November 2015 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The APB's 2015 touring lineup was Jon Anderson, Jean-Luc Ponty, Rayford Griffin, Wally Minko, Keith Jones and Jamie Glaser.

The Anderson Ponty Band (APB) rehearsed for two weeks at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg, PA in anticipation of the 27 October 2015 show in Glenside, PA (the originally planned start of the tour). Then the Sherman Theater asked the band to play a show in Stroudsburg before the true beginning of the tour. Thus, the 23 October 2015 show was announced only just one week earlier.

title: AKD Group

text:
AKD Group is a Pakistani financial conglomerate based in Karachi, Pakistan. In 2013, Reuters described it as "one of Pakistan's largest domestic conglomerates" and The Independent described it as one of Pakistan's largest corporations.

In 2018, Dawn described it as a "capital market giant," while that same year the UK's Daily Express described it as "leading Pakistani securities firm." The group operates in real estate, brokerage and financial services, infrastructure, natural resources and telecom sectors, including with its brokerage arm, investment house AKD Securities, which in 2002 launched the first online brokerage firm in Pakistan, AKD Trade. AKD Group's chairman is Aqeel Karim Dhedhi.

History
AKD Group was founded in 1947 by Abdul Karim Dhedhi, father of the current chairman. It began business in 1973 as a brokerage house before expanding into investment banking and mutual funds. The group also sponsors sporting events as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In 2007, the group explored investing in four coal-fired power plants, but their initial offer was declined due to the fact that, though financial capacity was present, they lacked the technical ability to assure success. In 2011, ADK Group was committed to the development of the Gwadar port and naval base, but was permitted to pull out of the arrangement alongside their partners, the Port of Singapore Authority and the National Logistics Cell because 584 acres at the mouth of the port necessary for the development were not surrendered as expected by the Pakistan Navy.

In 2015, the company was among the first in Pakistan to create a real estate investment trust (REIT) management unit in response to easing of governmental regulations on investor ratios to create a trust to support the ongoing construction of the Arkadians. Arkadians is a 43-acre high-rise residential property that the ADK Group had been developing on behalf of the Defense Housing Authority at least since 2012. In March 2018, The National Assembly of Pakistan Standing Committee on Housing and Works praised the leadership of Dhedhi and the supervision of the AKD Group's CEO Ayesha Dhedhi in the quality construction of government accommodations to National Assembly members in the project.

The Group has experienced some controversy. In 2013, AKD Group came under scrutiny under allegations of insider trading when it, along with other traders, invested in the Sui Southern Gas Co. owned by the Pakistan government just before the gas company's prices went up. In 2017, three of the company's top officials were arrested during a raid of the company for investigation into possible fraud related to the Employees Old-Age Benefit Institution. In August 2018, AKD was cleared for lack of evidence, with a federal report titled "False implication of AKD Securities in EOBI scandal." During the investigation, the three officials remained jailed for months.

title: Basque cider

text:
Basque cider is an apple cider from the Basque region of Europe served at sagardotegi (cider houses). Known as Sagardoa, the cider in Basque cuisine is produced at cider houses in areas such as Astigarraga, Spain, an apple growing region. It is sold in bottles, is flat (non-carbonated), and poured from height. Salted cod omelette is a traditional dish eaten in Basque cider houses. Quince jelly and nuts are also served as well as steak.

The production of the Basque cider is similar to winemaking in many ways. Apple harvesting starts in September and October to prepare raw material for barrel fermentation. The cider is then fermented up to the middle of spring. Compared to natural winemaking, Basque cider manufacturers do not add any commercial yeast. Spontaneous fermentation is the preferred way to produce cider in the Basque region.

title: Shane Austin

text:
Shane Austin (born June 14, 1989) is a former American football quarterback. He played college football at University of Hawaiʻi. Austin went undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft and signed with the Everett Raptors of the Indoor Football League (IFL) after the draft. After starting the Raptors final games of the season, Austin was able to gain the attention of the Pittsburgh Power of the AFL. Austin was named the starting quarterback for the Power, but a broken hand caused him to miss two months of the season. Austin then was assigned to the Cleveland Gladiators where he was named the backup to Chris Dieker. With Dieker struggling for the Gladiators, Austin was given the opportunity to start and lead the Gladiators to a 14–1 record as a starter and a berth in ArenaBowl XXVII. The Gladiators lost to Arizona Rattlers in the ArenaBowl, but Austin was named Second Team All-Arena.

Early life
Born June 14, 1989 in Santa Monica, California to Cathy and Dave Austin. He attended Rio Mesa High School in Oxnard, California, where he participated in football. As a junior, Austin split time with Chris Gagua, completing 52-of-81 passes with five touchdowns and three interceptions. Austin was the lone starter for the Spartans in 2006 and broke many school records for passing.

College career
Austin's late development as a quarterback lead to his light recruitment from Football Bowl Subdivision schools, but he was offered a chance to walk-on to the football team at the University of Hawaiʻi, and accepted the team's offer. Austin spent his true freshman season as a redshirt for the Warriors, and didn't see any playing time as a redshirt freshman. In 2008, Austin was given the opportunity to compete for the starting quarterback spot, and won a start versus San Jose State when starter Bryant Moniz was out with an injury. Austin threw for a career-high 299-yards against the Spartans, including a 10-yard pass to Kealoha Pilares on third down in overtime. The following week Austin was once again backing up Moniz. In 2010, Austin was listed as the backup to Moniz again. He was action in the season opener again USC as Moniz left the game with an injury. Austin completed 6-of-9 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. In 2011, Austin received another chance to start, this time against Fresno State. Austin struggled, and was pulled in the first half in favor of David Graves.

Austin caught on quickly to indoor football, leading the Raptors to 59 points in his first game (the Raptors had been averaging 44.0 points a game). Austin was able to help the Raptors keep their playoff hopes alive, leading them to a 2–2 record in his first 4 games. But the Raptors finished 1–2 in their final 3 games, missing out on the final Intense Conference playoff spot. Austin finished the season with 1,546 yards passing and 38 passing touchdowns, along with 285 rushing yards and two touchdowns rushing.

The game ended in a 21–59 defeat, with Austin throwing for 3 touchdowns and was intercepted twice. Austin would not see the field again until he was named the starting quarterback Week 17 against the San Jose SaberCats. Austin and the Power struggled mightily, losing 78–20.

title: Guards Army (Russia)

text:
The Guards Army was a guards operational formation (association, army) of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War and in the postwar period. Guards Armies are also currently in the Russian Armed Forces.

Guards Armies appeared in the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union, when for the displayed heroism, courage and high combat skill by the personnel of the formations (such as the army and the tank army), they were awarded honorary titles – the guards.

History
As an operational formation, the "army" first emerged at the beginning of the 19th century. The emergence of armies was caused by an increase in the size of the armed forces of the state, the development of weapons and military equipment, communications and the increased spatial scope of military operations. In these conditions, to increase the efficiency of command and control, to better use the combat and maneuverable capabilities of the troops, it was necessary to divide the armed forces operating in the theater of operations into armies, and the Russians were the first to do this. From 1806 to the 60s of the 19th century, the Russian Imperial Army included corps (the highest formations in the infantry and cavalry are non–permanent), which had two divisions (a permanent military formation consisting of two or three brigades of two-regiment composition and an artillery brigade) and artillery brigades (corps).

There were guards formations in the Russian Imperial Army, the largest of which is the 1st Guards Corps. After the October Revolution, they were all disbanded.

During the Great Patriotic War, for the heroism, courage and high military skill of the personnel shown in the defense of the Fatherland from the attacking enemy, the assignment of honorary titles to the formations of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army began – the guards. Upon receipt of its formation, it was renamed, they were assigned new military numbers. Accordingly, as the number of guards formations increased, guards corps and armies appeared. Guards Armies were formed from guards formations and units.

During operations, the Guards Armies were used in the most critical sectors and directions, since they had an increased combat ability in the offensive and special staunchness in defense.

In total, during the Great Patriotic War, 11 armies and 6 tank armies were awarded the honorary title of the Guards.

During the period of Khrushchev's reductions, Guards Mechanized Armies appeared in the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union, and later returned to the Guards Tank Armies.

Structure
The composition of the Guards Army, depending on the type of troops, included:
Management (headquarters);
Formations (corps, divisions);
Units (brigades, regiments, separate battalions, divizions and companies);
Institutions (hospitals, bases, warehouses).

Banner
Each Guards Army was awarded a Guards Red Banner in accordance with the Regulations on the Red Banners of the Guards Army and the Guards Corps:

title: Delta Dome

text:
Delta Dome was a proposed indoor sports venue in Portland, Oregon. Plans for the domed stadium were proposed in 1963. It would have had at least 46,000 seats with plexi-glass skylights and a 17,000 vehicle parking lot. Inspiration for the building's architecture came from the Harris County Domed Stadium (now known as the NRG Astrodome) in Houston, Texas, which was under construction at the time.

Delta Dome was to be built in Delta Park, the location of Vanport City, a housing project for workers during World War II that was destroyed in a 1948 flood, after a Columbia River dike failed.

The enclosed stadium was intended to attract a major professional sports franchise and increase the city's odds if they were to bid to host an Olympic Games.

Plans for the Delta Dome were scrapped after voters rejected two bond measures in 1964 to fund the construction. Delta Dome had the support of Governor Mark Hatfield and Portland Mayor Terry Schrunk. When the city purchased Multnomah Stadium, now known as Providence Park, the push for a new municipally owned multi-sports facility ended.

History

The idea for a stadium at Delta Park in Portland, Oregon, was started by a development group in the summer of 1963. They looked at building a domed stadium, similar to the Harris County Domed Stadium in Houston, Texas, which was under construction at the time. Plans for the Delta Dome called for a 46,000 seat capacity that could be expanded to 80,000, or possibly 100,000. Also included were plans for a 17,000 vehicle parking lot. Architects said the ceiling of the dome would be made from plexi-glass, which would add natural light. The skylights, which could be opened, were intended to add an open-air feel to the building. It was scheduled to be completed by 1968. It was estimated to cost US$25 million (US$ million adjusted for inflation).

Measure 2 was on the ballot during Portland's primary election in 1964, which if approved, would fund the construction of the Delta Dome. The measure was rejected by voters, with 101,324 no votes to 91,961 yes.  The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners denied the proposed bond in July 1964. The Portland City Council followed suit by rejecting supporters request (by a 4–1 vote) to put it up for a second city-wide vote during a council meeting on August 5, 1964. In August, Governor Mark Hatfield convinced Multnomah County Commissioner David Eccles to change his vote in favor of placing the bond on the general election ballot. In the county-wide contest, it was defeated with 102,281 people voting in its favor and 113,832 voting against.

In March 1965, a bill was introduced into the state legislature to fund the Delta Dome by imposing a three percent tax on hotels and other forms of lodgings to out-of-state residents. However in November 1965, the City of Portland purchased Multnomah Stadium from the Multnomah Athletic Club, putting to rest the city's need for a multi-sports facility.

Opposition
The bond measures ultimately failed, due in part to voters not believing Portland could attract or sustain a major sports franchise. The Oregonian noted that the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, which opened five years before, was hemorrhaging money without a permanent tenant. Another issue raised was the traffic on Interstate 5, which opponents said would get worse if the stadium was erected. Opposition also grew around potential tax increases. Worries of flood damage was another concern, since it was in the area that flooded two decades prior.

Supporters
The group funding advertisements in favor of the bond measure were known as "Volunteers for Delta Dome". Robert Richett was their chairman.

One of the biggest attractions of the stadium was that it was enclosed, so games would not have to be canceled due to inclement weather. A scale model of the stadium was unveiled in October 1964 where supporters sang a song entitled "New Delta Stadium, Where it Never Rains".

Supporters of the stadium claimed that building a second stadium in Portland would make bids on behalf of the city to the International Olympic Committee to host an Olympic Games more feasible. A consulting firm conducted a study which predicted a $800,000 profit for the tax base. Opponents of the bond criticized the study because it assumed Portland would attract several large events when the stadium opened, which they contended should not be assumed.

Shortly before the county voted on the bond measure, pro-Delta Dome leaflets were mistakenly included with material that attacked President Lyndon Johnson's re-election campaign.

After it was voted down in November 1964, there was speculation that the Delta Dome would form a corporation and issue stock for citizens to buy, but the idea never materialized.
