title: Derek Ahonen

text:
Derek Ahonen is an American playwright, director, producer, and filmmaker. He is the founder of The Amoralists Theatre Company in NYC. Ahonen is most known for his plays The Pied Pipers of The Lower East Side, Happy In The Poorhouse, The Bad And The Better, and The Qualification of Douglas Evans which have had numerous runs in New York and have been translated, adapted, and performed across three different continents. His plays are published by Indie Theatre Now and Playscripts Inc.

Early life

The son of Anna, a Children's Theatre Director, Ahonen was born in Chicago, Illinois.  Having grown up around the theatre, Ahonen began performing in his mother's plays from a young age. After graduating from Waubonsie Valley High School, Ahonen moved to New York City to continue his education at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Ahonen married in 2019 and stated he lived for a time at a Congregational Church.

Career with The Amoralists

In 2006, Ahonen formed The Amoralists in New York City.  The company was founded with the mission to "produce work of no moral judgment," and is "dedicated to an honest expression of the American condition..explor[ing] complex characters of moral ambiguity…"
The Amoralists first gained attention in 2009 with Ahonen's cult hit The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side, which Time Out (magazine) called “the happiest surprise of the season.”  The New Yorker noted "the young company’s deep commitment and contagious exuberance brings to mind the vitality that distinguished the early off-broadway work of artists like Sam Shepard."
The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side has been revived by the company numerous times.  In the spring of 2013 it opened at Madrid's Teatro Espanol under the title Los Iluminados, directed by Julián Fuentes Reta,where it had an extended run along with subsequent tours throughout Spain.
Ahonen followed up The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side with Happy in the Poorhouse,  which The New York Times wrote "has a knockabout physicality that grabs your attention. But what holds it is the working-class poetry of Derek Ahonen’s script.  Mr. Ahonen, who also directs, brings the populist instincts of a born entertainer.  As in a performance by the vintage Brando, the tough-guy swagger of his production masks an achingly sentimental heart.  He might be a contender yet."

The majority of Ahonen's plays feature ensemble casts and characters living on the outskirts of society. Working-class people and blue color sentiment color most of his writings. His plays are often about the journey the characters are willing to take on their way to nowhere. His plays are plot-driven family melodramas about delusions and affairs of the heart, tragedies played at such a fever pitch that they spill into farce.
In an interview with T. Nikki Cesare for TDR (journal), Cesare writes "Ahonen himself could be a character in one of his plays.  Compared repeatedly in mainstream reviews to a young Sam Shepard, Ahonen is ribald and charismatic, idiosyncratic and easy with the rough edges."  In the same interview Ahonen says, "We (The Amoralists) like to say our plays are comedies full of tears and ideas. We set out for instant pudding, then we hope it has some intellectual substance-without being pretentious. We hope people care enough about the characters to go with them on their journeys, emotionally. When they leave the theatre, they’re still thinking about whether they like the character or not." Ahonen goes on to say, "I don't like stuff that thinks it's better than me.  I really do consider a work I see for weeks after before I decide whether I like it or not.  The biggest turn off for me is theater that isn't welcoming,  that's cold and trying to teach me something through its distance.   I like work that brings me closer to an artists ideas.  And that's what I've dedicated my career to accomplishing. "

Post Amoralists Theatre
In the fall of 2014 Ahonen and The Amoralists parted ways.  In April 2015, Ahonen directed the Los Angeles premiere of The Pied Pipers of The Lower East Side at The Matrix Theatre Company to great critical acclaim. The production contained a completely new cast from previous New York incarnations.   He was then commissioned to write his first post-Amoralists play, The Transcendents, by The Village Rep in Charleston, South Carolina.  The play ran in the summer of 2015 and was well received with The Charleston City Paper describing it as a "captivating, disturbing, and surprisingly uplifting play"   April 2017 brought the Spanish musical adaptation of Ahonen's The Bad and The Better  to Madrid's TAI under the title, Los Malos Y Los Mejores.   In the summer of 2017 Ahonen collaborated with actress Sarah Roy on his one-woman show, Catherine And Anita.  The play opened at Edinburgh Festival Fringe to great acclaim.  The Stage called the play "Slick, Sick, and Unsettling"   The Ed Fringe Review called it "A powerful show with an important message"   Voice Magazine says "This is an amazing piece of theatre."    Catherine and Anita later transferred to King's Head Theatre of London in February 2018.

The Transcendents (Film)
In April 2018, Ahonen made his feature film directorial debut of his screenplay, The Transcendents.  It was shot entirely on 16mm kodak and Fujifilm in Austin, Texas. It premiered at 20th Annual Sarasota Film Festival on April 18.   The film stars Savannah Welch, Kathy Valentine of The Go-Go's, William Leroy, Rob Franco, Ben Reno, Cecilia Deacon, and Paul Sevigny. The Transcendents made its international premiere at The Madrid International Film Festival on July 22, 2018.

The film centers around a Rasputin-like drifter in search of a mysterious band.  It was lauded as an "amazing directorial debut" and "possessing some of the most stunning performances you'll ever see."   The surreal film was labeled as "Lynch-ian", "Bergman-esque" and "nearly impossible to categorize"

After a year on the festival circuit, it was released theatrically and on VOD on June 19, 2020.  The film is distributed by Lionsgate.

title: Gentilhombre (horse)

text:
Gentilhombre (2 April 1973 – 1 January 1992) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. As a two-year-old he won four races and finished third in the Group Two Laurent Perrier Champagne Stakes. In the following year he was mainly campaigned at sprint distances and established himself as one of the fastest three-year-olds in Europe with wins in the Cork and Orrery Stakes and Prix de l'Abbaye. He was even better as a four-year-old, when he was rated the best sprinter in Europe after winning the July Cup (on the disqualification of Marinsky), the Diadem Stakes and a second Prix de l'Abbaye (in course record time). After two unsuccessful runs in 1978 he was retired from racing having won nine of his twenty-four races. He stood as a breeding stallion in Europe and Japan but had limited success as a sire of winners.

Background
Gentilhombre was a chestnut horse with a narrow white blaze and a white sock on his left hind leg bred in the United Kingdom by Mrs M Simpson. He was probably the best horse sired by No Mercy, a sprinter whose best win came in the Prix de Meautry. His dam, Kirisana won one minor race over thirteen furlongs from six starts. Kirisana's breeding was somewhat unusual: her dam Tolosana was very difficult to get in foal and was covered without result by Darius in 1965. She was then allowed to run loose in a field with an obscure stallion named Kribi (runner-up in the Cesarewitch Handicap) and successfully conceived. As Tolosana had already been mated with Darius, Kirisana was officially described as being by "Darius or Kribi" but there was no doubt that the mare (foaled on 24 July 1966) was sired by Kribi.

Gentilhombre was sold for 2,000 guineas as a foal, but made only 1,000 guineas when offered for sale as a yearling. The colt was sent into training with Neil Adam a Veterinary physician who had just begun his second career as a trainer at Racecourse Farm near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. Adam went on to establish himself as an expert trainer of speed horses, becoming known as the "King of the Sprinters" before being forced to retire due to the effects multiple sclerosis in the early 1980s.

Racing career

1975: two-year-old season
After finishing unplaced over five furlongs on his racecourse debut, won the Fitzwilliam Stakes over the same distance at Doncaster Racecourse in May, beating Sovereign Light by half a length. After a break of three months he appeared in the Tyldesley Nursery, a handicap race for two-year-olds at Haydock Park Racecourse and won by one and a half lengths under a light weight. In September he was moved up sharply in class for the Laurent Perrier Champagne Stakes over seven furlongs at Doncaster in which he was matched against a field which included the season's leading British-trained two-year-old Wollow. Gentilhombre led from the start and looked likely to cause an upset before tiring in the closing stages and finishing third behind Wollow and Solitary Hail. He then dropped back to handicap company for the Barleythorpe Nursery over six furlongs at Leicester Racecourse and won "in a canter" after taking the lead at half-way. In his last two races, Gentilhombre was matched against older horses. He won the Vernons Sprint Trial Stakes at Haydock, beating the three-year-old filly Nagin by one and a half lengths and then finished third behind the three-year-old Be Tuneful and the four-year-old Roman Warrior in the Challenge Stakes at Newmarket.

1976: three-year-old season
In the early part of his three-year-old season, Gentilhombre was tried over longer distances, finishing third to Wollow in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury Racecourse and unplaced behind the same colt in the 2000 Guineas over a mile at Newmarket on 28 April. The colt was then brought back to sprint distances, beginning with the Cork and Orrery Stakes over six furlongs at Royal Ascot in June. Ridden by Paul Cook, he started at odds of 17/2 which included the Duke of York Stakes winner Three Legs (who started favourite), Be Tuneful, Petipa (Moyglare Stud Stakes) and Honeyblest. Cook sent Gentilhombre to the front and was never headed, overcoming the challenge of Be Tuneful and drawing away in the closing stages to win by three lengths.

Gentilhombre was beaten in his next three races. He finished sixth behind the year's leading sprinter Lochnager in the July Cup, fifth behind the same horse in the William Hill Sprint Championship at York and fifth behind Honeyblest in the Diadem Stakes. On 3 October, the colt was sent to France to contest the Prix de l'Abbaye over 1000 metres at Longchamp Racecourse. He started a 38/1 outsider in a ten-runner field headed by the Norfolk Stakes winner Faliraki who had finished second to Lochnager at York. The other runners included Kala Shikari (Prix du Gros Chêne, Prix de Seine et Oise), the two-year-old King of Macedon, the Italian-trained Raga Navarro and Girl Friend (Prix Maurice de Gheest, Prix de Meautry, Prix de Saint-Georges, Prix du Petit Couvert). Ridden by Terry McKeown, Gentilhombre led from the start and maintained his advantage into the last 100 metres when several challengers emerged. In a very close finish the English colt was adjudged to have dead-heated with the French-trained four-year-old Mendip Man with Raga Navarro a head and a neck away in third and fourth. In their annual Racehorses of 1975 the independent Timeform organisation claimed that a viewing of the photo finish print indicated that Gentilhombre had narrowly but clearly won the race. The colt returned to England for the Vernons Sprint Cup in which he finished sixth behind Record Token. At the end of the season, Gentilhombre was sold for an undisclosed sum to J Murrell.

1977: four-year-old season
Gentilhombre's form in the early part of the 1977 season was unimpressive as he finished sixth in the Palace House Stakes behind Raga Navarro, unplaced in the Duke of York Stakes behind Boldboy and seventh in the King's Stand Stakes behind Godswalk. In July, Gentilhombre, ridden by Cook, started at odds of 10/1 for the July Cup at Newmarket in which he was matched against Marinsky a highly talented but temperamental three-year-old trained in Ireland by Vincent O'Brien. Gentilhombre led from the start but Marinsky overtook him in the closing stages, bumping him in the process and won by a length and a half, with Mandrake Major finishing third. Following an inquiry by the racecourse stewards, the positions of the first two finishers were reversed and the race was awarded to Gentilhombre. Timeform expressed the view that the stewards may have influenced by Marinsky's previous bad behaviour. Gentilhombre was scheduled to make his next appearance in the William Hill Sprint Championship, but missed the race after a training setback.

Gentilhombre returned in September for the Diadem Stakes at Ascot. Starting at odds of 7/4, he took the lead soon after the start and drew away in the closing stages to win by three lengths from the three-year-olds Scarcely Blessed and Mandrake Major. On 2 October, Gentilhombre attempted to become the second horse to win back-to-back renewals of the Prix de l'Abbaye. Ridden as usual by Paul Cook, he started joint second-favourite behind Girl Friend at odds of 3/1 on good to firm ground. The other runners included Madang (Premio Melton, Prix du Gros Chêne), Karosa, Haveroid (William Hill Sprint Championship), Raga Navarro and King of Macedon. Gentilhombre produced what Timeform described as "a tremendous display", taking the lead at half way and accelerating clear of his opponents to win by four lengths from Madang. Haveroid was two lengths back in third, a short head in front of Girl Friend. The winning time of 56.00 was a new course record. Three weeks later, Gentilhombre returned to Longchamp and was moved up in distance for the Prix de la Forêt over 1400 metres. He started the 7/2 second favourite behind Pharly, but appeared not to stay the distance on soft ground and finished eighth of the ten runners behind Sanedtki.

1978: five-year-old season
In 1978, Gentilhombre was transferred to the stable of Neville Callaghan. After running poorly on his debut he showed some signs of his previous ability when finishing a close fifth in the Duke of York Stakes, despite looking less than fully fit. He did not race again and was retired at the end of the season.

Assessment
There was no International Classification of European two-year-olds in 1975: the official handicappers of Britain, Ireland and France compiled separate rankings for horses which competed in those countries. In the British Free Handicap, Gentilhombre was allotted a weight of 124 pounds, making him the eighth best juvenile colt, nine pounds below the top-rated Wollow. The independent Timeform organisation rated him on 122, five pounds below Wollow and eight behind the French-trained Manado. In 1976 Timeform gave Gentilhombre a rating of 125, seven pounds behind their best sprinter Lochnager. In the British three-year-old ratings he was rated ten pounds below the top-rated Vitiges. Gentilhombre was Timeform's best sprinter of 1977, when he was rated on 131. In the inaugural International Classification, he was rated equal with Buckskin as the third best older horse, behind Balmerino and Orange Bay.

Stud career

After his retirement from racing, Gentilhombre became a breeding stallion, beginning his stud career at Dobsons Stud at Fawley in Buckinghamshire at a fee of $1,500. He was later exported to Japan. The most successful of his offspring was probably Kitayama Zakura, a filly who won two Grade Three races, the Shinzan Kinen and Kyoto Yonsai Tokubetsu, in 1984. Gentilhombre died on 1 January 1992 in Japan.

title: Columbus Communications

text:
Columbus Communications was a cable television, telephone, and Broadband speed Internet service provider.  Operating as a regional media company, Columbus is currently financially based in Barbados and provides services in Grenada, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Curaçao, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

The company's operations in Antigua and Barbuda were previously branded as Karib Cable. But it as well as its operations in other countries are now under the Flow branding. The company formerly held a 71% share in Cable Bahamas, before divesting of that holding in 2010.

History
Columbus entered the Curaçao retail market in January 2010 through the acquisition of Curaçao Cable TV NV, a fledgling start up that held video and internet concessions, but had yet to reach the commercial stage.

By the fall of 2010, a new fully digital video head end was constructed, providing Flow customers access to more than 250 video and audio channels by far the most comprehensive television service in Curaçao. In addition, Flow offers residential broadband internet packages ranging from an entry-level service of 5 Mbit/s up to 100 Mbit/s. In partnership with its sister company, Columbus Business Solutions, they also provide a range of corporate data services including data storage, disaster recovery, IP services, hosting and business continuity services.

The company was then officially acquired by Cable & Wireless Communications, the parent company of another fellow telecommunications company in the Caribbean, named LIME. The cost of the acquisition was USD $1.85 Billion dollars.

The company has now become a fully owned entity of CWC. FLOW has now become the consumer-facing brand for the new company across all of CWC's former LIME. It offers quad-play services (i.e. mobile, fixed voice, fixed home broadband and television).

title: Ollie Powers

text:
Ollie Powers (1890 – April 14, 1928) was an American jazz drummer and vocalist.

Biography
Ollie Powell was born in Louisville, Kentucky, United States.

Louis Armstrong remembered him as a solo entertainer at the Dreamland Cabaret, where he sung Irving Berlin's "What'll I Do" in a powerful, but high and sweet voice. Powers helped Armstrong land a job there before Armstrong left for New York City to play with Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra.

One of his ensembles, named Ollie Powers' Harmony Syncopators, recorded for Paramount Records in 1923.  The label released  two tracks; "Jazzbo Jenkins" and "Play That Thing." The latter track was recorded four times by the band. From 1926 onwards, he performed with the clarinet player and sometimes bandleader, Jimmie Noone, until shortly before Powers death.

Powers died of diabetes in April 1928 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. During the funeral at Liberty Congregational Church, Armstrong played "Going Home" from Dvořák's New World Symphony.

Both of the Paramount tracks were released in November 2013 on the compilation album, The Rise & Fall of Paramount Records, Vol. 1 (1917-1927).

title: EL/M-2248 MF-STAR

text:
The EL/M-2248 MF-STAR is a multifunction active electronically scanned array naval radar system developed by IAI Elta for maritime installation on warships. It is capable of tracking both air and surface targets and providing fire control guidance. MF-STAR is an acronym of Multi-Function Surveillance, Track And Guidance Radar.

Design and description
The EL/M-2248 MF-STAR is a multifunction solid state Active electronically scanned array radar developed for a new generation of naval platforms. The radar system is made up of 4 active arrays operating in the S-band, each of the 4 arrays is positioned in one direction. The radar employs multi-beam and pulse Doppler techniques as-well-as robust Electronic counter-countermeasures techniques to extract low radar cross-section targets from complex clutter and jamming environments. AESA radars provide a low probability of intercept of emitted signals and help the ships remain stealthy. Weighing only seven tons the system can be installed on smaller vessels of Corvette size and above.

The MF-STAR is capable of tracking both air and surface targets and can track hundreds of targets simultaneously with a very fast refresh rate. It is capable of providing guidance illumination and mid course updates to both active and semi active Surface-to-air missiles and Anti-ship missiles, with multiple simultaneous engagement capability. It is also capable of automatic splash detection and correction for naval gunnery support.

While targets are tracked at long range threats are automatically recognized at medium range and Automatic track initiation takes place. Sea skimming attacking missile are tracked at >25 km while High flying fighter aircraft are automatically tracked at >250 km.

title: Rui Chenggang

text:
Rui Chenggang (; born September 24, 1977) is a former Chinese news anchor and journalist for China's state-run broadcaster China Central Television. He was well known for his "unabashedly nationalistic" style when hosting economy and finance related shows with wide viewership on the channel CCTV-2. He was detained for investigation by Chinese prosecution organs in July 2014, accused of corruption.

Career

Rui was born in Hefei, Anhui in 1977. He went to No. 8 Middle School in Hefei, and was the president of the student council. In 1995 during Gaokao exams, Rui ranked first among social science and humanities students in his city, and ranked fourth in his province. He was admitted to China Foreign Affairs University in 1995, where he studied international trade and global economics. He represented China at the 1998 International Public Speaking Competition.

In 2000, Rui began working for CCTV-9, the state broadcaster's English language channel. Rui took part in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in 2001, and was named one of the "Global Leaders of Tomorrow". In 2005, Rui was named a Yale World Fellow.

In 2007, he criticized in his blog the presence of a Starbucks shop at the Forbidden City, generating significant popular support. Eventually the U.S. brand removed its store from the historic site. Rui said the Starbucks invaded a site of Chinese historical heritage and argued against the "globalization" of historical sites.

In 2008, Rui left CCTV-9 for CCTV-2, a channel focusing on business and economics. At CCTV-2 he was known for being the host for programs such as Economics Half Hour (), Economic News (), Global Economic Connection (). He was also involved in the preparation of a television series focused on China during the year of the Olympics. He also hosted a program discussing the global financial crisis. As part of his work with CCTV, he has interviewed prominent global personalities such as Bill Gates, Tony Blair, Yasuo Fukuda, and Bill Clinton.

At the 2011 G20 Cannes summit, Rui attracted controversy for ignoring pre-determined protocol during a press conference, as U.S. President Barack Obama said he would give the final question at a press conference in Seoul to South Korean media, but Rui interrupted saying "I'm actually Chinese, but I think I get to represent the entire Asia". At an economic forum, Rui asked the then-U.S. ambassador to China Gary Locke, "My colleagues told me you flew economy class here – was that a reminder that the U.S. still owes China money?"

By 2014, Rui had gathered millions of followers on various social media sites and was considered a 'star anchor' for CCTV. His fluent English speaking abilities made him a symbol of the "globalization of the economics channel of CCTV". He was also criticized by many detractors for his arrogant and aggressive style, as he was reportedly "used to the rock star lifestyle" and "has a taste for sharp [Zegna] suits and fast cars [reportedly a Jaguar]".

Arrest and disappearance
Rui was placed under investigation by Chinese prosecution authorities on July 11, 2014. The abrupt sequence of events shocked television viewers and garnered a quick and overwhelming response on social media. Apart from sporadic media reports speculating on his whereabouts, it is not clear what happened to Rui after 2014, until he was sentenced to six years in prison in 2016 for alleged corruption.

While many 'tigers' (i.e., high-ranking officials) have been detained and prosecuted for crimes since the beginning of Xi Jinping and Wang Qishan's anti corruption drive in 2013, Rui is arguably one of the most high-profile non-political personalities implicated in the anti-corruption campaign. Rui's longtime patron Guo Zhenxi, the head of CCTV's financial news channel, was earlier detained for allegedly accepting bribes, and Guo was part of the faction of former security chief Zhou Yongkang who was considered the biggest "tiger".

Rui is reportedly scheduled for release from prison on December 11, 2020, according to a tweet by the Zhimian news service quoting court documents.

title: Horry-Guignard House

text:
Horry-Guignard House is a historic home located at Columbia, South Carolina. It was built before 1813, and is a two-story, late Federal style, modified I-house type frame dwelling. The front facade features a one-story, full-width balustraded porch supported by square columns.  During the winter of 1813–1814, the main hall was widened from six feet to eleven feet.  To do this, the house was sawed in half and the two ends were pulled apart to rest on two new foundations. It was probably built by Peter Horry (1747-1815), a Revolutionary War Colonel and Brigadier General of the South Carolina Militia.  Later, the house was acquired by John Gabriel Guignard (1751-1822), the Surveyor General of South Carolina from 1798 to 1802.  Guignard is responsible for the early design of the city and laid out the first streets of Columbia.

According to urban legend, the house was spared during the civil war by General Sherman's troops thanks to the cooking of a slave named Dilcie.  While the owners of the house at that time had fled before the Union troops stormed the city, Dilcie remained in the home.  She sought General Sherman at his headquarters and invited him to dinner, promising the best cooking in Columbia.  Apparently Sherman was impressed because he ordered the home be spared as a gesture of gratitude.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

In 2016, the fire department responded to the house after heavy smoke and fire was observed coming from the building.  Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire and save the house from destruction.

The house and an outbuilding, which is believed to have been an office built sometime between 1822 and 1876, is currently being restored as part of the University of South Carolina School of Law complex.

title: Baruch Singer

text:
Baruch Singer (born 1954) is a New York-based real estate investor and developer.

Biography
Singer was born to a Jewish family, the son of rabbi Yitzhak Singer. In 1983, while living on the Lower East Side and in the midst of writing his doctoral dissertation in clinical psychology at Harvard University, his cousin Rabbi Joseph Singer referred a local builder, David Disenhouse, to invite him as a partner to renovate a vacant apartment building on the Lower East Side. Singer accepted and this led to a ten-year relationship (ending when Disenhouse moved to Israel).

Singer specialized in purchasing and leasing distressed residential properties in Harlem, Hamilton Heights, Manhattan Valley, and Washington Heights. After an existing tenant vacated, he would renovate the apartment and then find tenants to replace the prior occupants. Although the buildings were often crime-ridden, Singer claims that he would make sure that the new tenants were told upfront about the problems they were moving into before signing a lease. Singer always lets tenants break a lease and personally meets every new tenant. He has been variously credited with or blamed for the gentrification of poorer neighborhoods by hipsters as well as being branded a "slumlord." Once he is able to renovate all the apartments in a building having churned through the legacy tenants, he completes the renovation by finishing the hallways and common areas enabling him to increase the rent in the now secure building to closer to market rates.

Singer was  accused of being responsible for a 1995 collapse of a Harlem building that killed three people. Singer's company, Triangle Management, was the manager of the building at the time of the collapse. The company later purchased the building site. In 2005, he sold a portfolio of 104 buildings for $450 million to the Pinnacle Group and Praedium Fund. He has been criticized for not repairing the distressed buildings he purchases quick enough. Singer defends himself by stating that the buildings he buys typically have severe problems that take time to correct and that some tenants do not readily allow the landlord access to apartments.

In 2013, Singer sold a portfolio of 84 properties to Brooklyn-based Rainbow Estates Group, headed by Irving Langer and Leibel Lederman for $340 million.

Personal life
He was married to Vera Singer. The two divorced and Singer married his second wife, Susie.

The 2012 Huntingdonshire District Council election took place on 3 May 2012 to elect members of Huntingdonshire District Council in Cambridgeshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.

After the election, the composition of the council was:
Conservative 39
Liberal Democrats 7
UK Independence Party 3
Independent 2
Labour 1

Background
Before the election the Conservatives controlled the council with 41 seats, compared to 8 for the Liberal Democrats, 2 UK Independence Party and 1 independent. 3 councillors stood down at the election, Conservatives Philip Swales of Ramsey ward and John Watt in Yaxley and Farcet, as well as Liberal Democrat Peter Ward in Warboys and Bury.

15 seats were contested with the Conservatives guaranteed to keep a majority on the council whatever happened. The Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats and UK Independence Party contesting every seat except for in Sawtry where there was no Conservative candidate and Ramsey where the Liberal Democrats did not stand. There was one candidate from the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and a number of independents standing, including Dick Tuplin defending his seat in Sawtry, former Liberal Democrat Derek Giles in St Neots Eaton Socon and 2 candidates opposed to the westward expansion of St Ives.

Election result
The Conservatives lost 3 seats and were run close in Godmanchester and The Hemingfords as well, but they kept a strong majority on the council. Labour, the UK Independence Party and an independent each took a seat from the Conservatives, but the Conservatives did gain a seat in Warboys and Bury from the Liberal Democrats.

The Labour gain came in Huntingdon North, where Patrick Kadewere defeated the chairman of the council Jeff Dutton. This gave Labour their first seat on the council since the 1999 election. Meanwhile, the UK Independence Party took a seat in Ramsey, giving the party all 3 councillors for the ward, with the party also getting an increased share of the vote across the council.

Independents polled strongly with former Liberal Democrat councillor Derek Giles getting back on the council as an independent after taking St Neots Eaton Socon from the Conservatives. Independent Dick Tuplin also held his seat in Sawtry
with a majority of 818 votes, while other independents came close to taking seats.

The Liberal Democrats lost one of the three seats they had been defending and came last in many of the wards they had been contesting. However party leader Peter Downes held his seat in Brampton comfortably and the party held Huntingdon East from the Conservatives after a recount.

title: Bob Kullen

text:
Robert A. Kullen (1949 – November 2, 1990) was an American ice hockey coach and player. He was the head coach of the University of New Hampshire for a short time in the late 1980s before a rare heart condition that necessitated a heart transplant forced him to step away from his position and ultimately cost him his life a month later. In addition to coaching New Hampshire's ice hockey team, he also coached the New Hampshire golf team and soccer team.

Career
Bob Kullen starred as a defenseman for Bowdoin College until graduating in the spring of 1971. He continued playing in a short minor league career, appearing for the Braintree Hawks in two seasons then for the Manchester Monarchs in the only year the Can-Am Hockey League was in operation before calling it quits after 1974. He turned to coaching afterwards, finding his way onto the staff of Charlie Holt at New Hampshire starting in 1977–78 and remaining as an assistant there until Holt's retirement in 1985–86.

Kullen was chosen as Holt's successor and began rebuilding the team that had won only 5 games the year before. His first two recruiting classes lay the foundation for UNH's success in the 1990s, included NHL players Chris Winnes, Adren Plavisc, Kevin Dean, Scott Morrow, and All-Americans Joe Flanagan and Domenic Amodeo, and Hockey East all-stars David MacIntyre and Savo Mitrovic.  After a season of modest gains it was discovered that Kullen suffered from a rare form of heart disease and had to have an immediate heart transplant that caused him to miss the entire 1987–88 season. Another long-time UNH assistant, Dave O'Connor filled in for Kullen, but the team was predictably flat in his absence. Kullen returned behind the bench the following year and continued the work he had started, getting the team to 12 wins in 1988–89 and then followed it up with a 17–17–5 mark, their first .500 season since leaving ECAC Hockey after 1983–84. While he was expecting to continue coaching for the foreseeable future, Kullen began rejecting the transplanted heart in the fall of 1990 and was forced to turn over the team to Dick Umile to recover but he died about a month later on November 2.

In his memory, Hockey East renamed their Coach of the Year Award in his honor and fittingly the first recipient of the 'Bob Kullen Coach of the Year Award' was the man who replaced him at New Hampshire. in 1991 Bob Kullen became the first player to have his uniform number retired by Bowdoin College in the history of the athletic department.

title: Jens Ingwersen

text:
Jens Ingwersen (17 August 1871 – 10 October 1956) was a Danish architect during the transition from neo-classicism to functionalism.
He was the architect of the telephone company KTAS and is the man behind most of this company's buildings.

title: Ange Hardy

text:
Ange Hardy (born December 1983) is an English singer, songwriter and recording artist.

Ange Hardy performs original contemporary songs with an emphasis on vocal harmony. Her debut album Windmills and Wishes was released in 2010, and her second album, Bare Foot Folk, in 2013. Her third album The Lament of The Black Sheep was released on 13 September 2014, with pre-release copies shipped in May 2014. All three have been released by the Story Records label. Although Windmills and Wishes was her debut studio album, Bare Foot Folk is often referred to as her debut album, as it was widely publicised as being her "debut folk album", following her decision to adhere more strictly to a defined genre.

History
In 2010, Hardy released Windmills and Wishes, an album which failed to gain much traction at the time.

She was an Isambard Nu-Folk Award Finalist 2011 at Bristol Folk Festival.

In 2013, Hardy released Bare Foot Folk, a 14-track album of original acoustic folk songs. This second offering was received with critical acclaim. On 11 May 2013, Hardy was the special guest on BBC Somerset's Somerset Lives show, and Bare Foot Folk was BBC Somerset's album of the week for the duration of the following week.

On 8 January 2014, Hardy was awarded '2013 Female Vocalist of the Year' by FATEA Magazine, where she was one of three nominees alongside Lucy Ward and Emily Barker. In January 2014, Hardy was also a New Folk Competition Finalist at Warwick Folk Festival.

Subsequently, her follow-up album The Lament of The Black Sheep was made "Album of the Week" on BBC Scotland's the Iain Anderson Show. It was also awarded "Album of the Month" by FolkWords in June 2014. On 9 January 2014, Hardy won the FATEA '2014 Album of The Year' for The Lament of The Black Sheep, where she was nominated alongside Nancy Kerr and Sam Amidon.

The Lament of The Black Sheep was awarded 5 stars by The Daily Telegraph.

Hardy was nominated for the Horizon Award at the 2015 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Her 2016 album, Findings, with Lukas Drinkwater was launched live of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe.

Her sixth studio album Bring Back Home, was released on 28 November 2017.

Live performances
A notable aspect of Hardy's live performance is that she uses a loop machine for layering vocal harmonies live on stage. Traditionally such pedals are used for looping instrumental backing tracks rather than being used for vocal harmony.

She has performed at wide range of festivals including Sark Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Sidmouth Folk Festival, The Festival at the Edge, The Great Big Almonry Folk Festival, Bath Folk Festival, Bristol Folk Festival, Home Farm Festival, Stogumber Festival, Folk on the Farm, Crowcombe Festival, Dunster Music Festival, Barry Folk Festival, Priston Festival and Dunster by Candlelight.

During her Bare Foot Folk tour, Hardy performed at The Regal Theatre in Minehead, The Merlin Theatre in Frome, and The Glastonbury Assembly Rooms as well as a large number of smaller venues.

Hardy occasionally performs live with The Bare Foot Band.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In 2015, Hardy was awarded funding from Arts Council England, to write original folk songs based on the life and work of the romantic poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. That body of work was released as her third album Esteesee.

Personal life
Hardy has two children and lives with her husband Rob in Somerset, England. Her songs often contain biographical information. At the age of 14, Hardy ran away from a children's home in Taunton and hitchhiked to Ireland where she spent four months living homeless on the streets, before eventually returning home to the West Country.

title: Edward Synge Cooper

text:
Edward Synge Cooper (5 March 1762 – 16 August 1830) was an Irish landowner and politician from County Sligo. He sat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1806 to 1830.

Cooper was the second son of Joshua Cooper MP (1732–1800) of Markree Castle, and his wife Alicia, daughter of Edward Synge, Bishop of Elphin. He was educated by Rev. Richard Norris in  Drogheda, and then at Trinity College Dublin.  In 1801 he married Anne Verelst, daughter of Bengal Governor Harry Verelst of Aston Hall, Yorkshire. They had three sons.

At the 1806 general election he was elected as one of the two Members of Parliament (MPs)
for Sligo County,
succeeding his older brother Joshua Edward Cooper, who was deranged. He also took over the management of the family estate.

In his first Parliament, he was a regular attender but took little active role, preferring "to look about me". In his second Parliament, he claimed credit for having helped secure the passage of the Highways (Ireland) Act 1809, which reformed the role of grand juries, and from 1810 onwards he opposed Catholic relief.

He died on 16 August 1830, shortly after standing down from Parliament at the 1830 general election.
His son Edward Joshua Cooper, who had been elected in his place in 1830, inherited Markree in 1837 on the death of Joshua Edward Cooper.

His second wife Anne survived her husband and all three of her sons. She died in November 1864, in Dunboden. County Westmeath, aged 92. Her oldest son Edward Joshua had died a year before her in 1863, her second son Joshua Henry died in infancy, and her youngest son Richard died in 1850.

title: Hundreds of Denmark

text:
In the period preceding the Municipal Reform of 1970, Denmark was divided into around 170 hundreds (Danish: herred, plural: herreder). In the timeframe 1793 through 1970, each parish was functioning as a municipality within their respective hundreds. The hundreds were in turn part of a county. This was changed in 1970, when the parishes were merged into larger municipalities sometimes crossing hundred borders, and the hundreds fell out of administrative use.

Today, hundreds are used mostly for purposes of genealogy research.

Detail

Denmark was subdivided into hundreds from the early medieval period until this administrative division was finally abolished as part of the 1970 administrative reform.

Hundreds comprised varying numbers of parishes (Danish: sogn, plural: sogne), and each hundred had its own tingsted (assembly place) where the ting (assembly) was held, serving as court of law in minor affairs (major affairs were decided by the three landsting assemblies, serving as supreme courts in respectively 1) Scania [including Halland, Blekinge and Bornholm], 2) Zealand [including Lolland and Falster] and 3) Jutland and Funen). It has been hypothesised - since an extremely large amount of Denmark's herreder have access to the sea - that the division may have originated in the Viking era, for either offensive or defensive purposes. The subdivision applies to almost all parts of medieval Denmark (see below), including Southern Schleswig, Scania, Halland and Blekinge, but not Rügen.

Jutland (including Southern Schleswig) and most or all of Zealand were divided into syssel divisions (Danish: syssel, plural: sysler), each composed of a number of herreder, which in turn were subdivided into parishes. The syssel division did not apply in other parts of Denmark.

The area between the Danevirke fortifications and the river Eider (originally very sparsely populated) was exceptional in being included into the syssel divisions (as part of Istedsyssel) but was not subdivided into herreder. The area of North Frisian settlement Uthlande, now North Frisia, was subdivided into herreder which in turn were divided into parishes, but this region was not subject to Danish law but to a local Frisian law, and was in the medieval period administered as part of the royal demesne.

When Denmark in the 1660s abolished the former division into fiefs (Len), their replacement, the counties (amt, plural: amter) were similarly based on the herreder which in turn remained subdivided into parishes.

text:
McCord House, also known as the McCord-Oxner House, is a historic home located at Columbia, South Carolina. It was built in 1849, and is a 1½-story clapboard Greek Revival style cottage, with additions made in the 1850s. It sits on a stuccoed raised basement. The front facade features a one-story portico supported by four stuccoed piers.

title: Richard Clinton (politician)

text:
Richard Clinton (1720–1795) was an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution, a member of the North Carolina General Assembly, a Register of Deeds for Duplin County and a prominent citizen of Sampson County.

Early life and career
Richard Clinton is thought to be the step-son of Lieutenant General John Sampson (a member of the council for Josiah Martin) who it is thought to have moved to the Wilmington, North Carolina area around 1736.  Lieutenant General John Sampson may have married Clinton's mother sometime after 1741 when Clinton was born, but there are no historical records to indicate this. It is more likely that Richard is either the son of John Clinton and Elisobeth (1733) or of Thomas Clinton and Elinor (1720).  Around 1762, Clinton's step-father John Sampson built a home on a plantation he purchased near the present day town of Clinton, North Carolina.  At this point in history, this area was still a part of Duplin County; however residents had to go many miles east to the nearest courthouse.  After the family's move into Duplin County, Richard Clinton became the Register of Deeds for the county from 1773-1883.

Richard Clinton represented Duplin County in the Third North Carolina Provincial Congress in 1775.

After the establishment of the Independent State Government of North Carolina by the Halifax Constitution in 1776, Richard Clinton became one of the earliest members of the North Carolina House of Commons.  It was during his tenure in the House of Commons that Clinton was able to secure the passage of a bill that created Sampson County from the western portion of Duplin County.  Richard Clinton proposed the name of "Sampson" for the new county in honor of his step-father.  In 1784, this new act was passed by the House of Commons  and the first courts were ordered to take place at the home of James Myland just west of the current town of Clinton, North Carolina.

Revolutionary War Service and actions
Just before the start of the Revolutionary War, Clinton's step-father John Sampson was a Lieutenant General in the Provincial North Carolina Army for Governor William Tryon in support of King George III.  A few short years later however in 1777, the Oath of Allegiance and Abjuration was passed by the House of Commons that required all state and some county Government officials to sign swearing their oath to support the newly independent State of North Carolina.  Richard Clinton did indeed sign this oath; however his step-father John Sampson did not, indicating that there may have been a conflict of interest of who the family would support: the British Crown, or the newly independent state.

Richard Clinton was called upon by Duplin County to raise a militia of men and was commissioned a Captain at first, then later a Colonel in the Continental Army in order to serve in support of the American forces.  From 1776 to 1781, all was generally quite within the county, and the militia's primary job was to put down any insurrection among the local Tory population; a task he accomplished with his brother-in-law Colonel Kenan.  After Lord Cornwallis marched his troops through the county in April 1781, much of the population was pestered by an emblazoned Tory population.  Colonels Clinton and Kenan, marched their troops directly up to the forces of Lord Cornwallis in small guerrilla styled surprise attacks that left many British Soldiers and prisoners taken by the Colonels dead.  This "crackdown" on the insurrection of the tories proved to be the pivotal event that prevented any further violence in the county.

Establishment of the Town of Clinton
Upon the creation of the new Sampson County, 5 acres of land was purchase by the county from Richard Clinton on which one acre was to be for the construction of the new Courthouse, and the other five acres to be sold as lots to pay for the construction of the new courthouse.  This area came to be known as Clinton Courthouse on maps as early as 1790, and was to become the center of the future town of Clinton, North Carolina which was chartered in 1822.

Legacy
Richard Clinton died January 22, 1795, in what appears to have been a sudden and untimely death as he left no recorded will.  His wife went on to use their home as a public ordinary for use by the various people coming and going from the county courthouse.  Clinton had many children, all of whom became pillars in their respective communities.  Many of his sons served as officers in the War of 1812, and went on to other parts of North Carolina and the Southern United States to lead in their respective local governments.  The town of Clinton, North Carolina was named in honor of this patriot of the county.

title: Kenny Graham

text:
Kenny Graham (born Kenneth Thomas Skingle; 19 July 1924 – 17 February 1997) was a British jazz saxophonist, arranger, composer and essayist, described as "one of Britain's foremost jazz composers and arrangers", and as "a genuine, often overlooked pioneer of the modern jazz movement in Britain".

Life
He was born in Ealing, London, and learned to play the banjo as a young child.  He then learned the saxophone, with the tenor sax his preferred instrument by the time he became a professional musician at the age of 16.  He joined the army in 1942, expecting to join a service band, but was turned down for that role and went absent without leave, dyeing his red hair black and working under the name Tex Kershaw for two years as a member of Johnny Claes's Claepigeons.

After the end of the war, he played in many of the leading British dance bands of the era, including those led by Nat Temple, Nat Gonella, Ambrose, Leslie "Jiver" Hutchinson and Eric Winstone, as well as in Victor Feldman's Sextet, before forming Kenny Graham's Afro-Cubists in April 1950. The band sought to develop "an amalgam of bebop, African and Cuban rhythms and super-modern harmonies".  Although "artistically successful" and acclaimed for its innovative style, the band did not gain a large enough audience and the original band folded in March 1952 when trumpeter Jo Hunter and drummer Dicky DeVere left. However, a new band of Afro-Cubists performed at the opening night of the Flamingo Club in Soho in August 1952. Graham also played baritone sax in Jack Parnell's band, and tenor with other bands, occasionally reconvening the Afro-Cubists for recordings and performances. The Afro-Cubists recorded two EPs in 1954, Afro-Cadabra and Excerpts from Caribbean Suite, with a band including saxophonist Eddie Mordue and drummer Phil Seamen.

From 1955, Graham became more active as a writer and arranger than as a performer. In 1956, inspired by the work of American musician Moondog, he recorded an album, Moondog And Suncat Suites, credited to Kenny Graham And His Satellites, which included treatments of some of Moondog's compositions as well as Graham's own.  The following year he recorded an album, Presenting Kenny Graham, for the Pye Nixa label, featuring Seamen and pianist Stan Tracey, and engineered by Joe Meek.

Following a serious illness in 1958, Graham gave up performing completely. He wrote for several bands including that of Ted Heath, composing the Beaulieu Festival Suite recorded by Heath in 1959, and also worked as an arranger at recording sessions. Inspired by the music of Duke Ellington, he was commissioned to write a series of compositions for Ellington's musicians in 1960, which were recorded by a band that included Harry Carney, Paul Gonsalves, Ray Nance and Sam Woodyard. He also directed recording sessions by blues musicians including Big Bill Broonzy and Josh White, and worked extensively as a writer and arranger with Humphrey Lyttelton, composing the piece "One Day I Met an African" which Lyttelton recorded several times. In 1980, Graham wrote further pieces for Lyttelton's band, including "Adagio For David"  and "Ladyless and Lachrymose".  He also wrote for films such as The Small World of Sammy Lee (1963), Night Train to Paris (1964) and Where the Bullets Fly (1966), and an orchestral suite, "The Labours of Heracles", for BBC Radio.

He wrote occasional and acerbic essays on music for various magazines. He was dismissive of much modern popular music, including rock and roll. It was said of him that "he was completely dedicated to his strong belief in how jazz should sound", and was described as "a man of uncompromised integrity in both his musical and personal life [who] hated insincerity and crassness", and who had a "mercurial temperament".

He experimented with electronic keyboards, and became an expert in electronics. He worked as a London Underground ticket machine maintenance engineer, and also became a skilled maker of clocks and watches. In later life he worked as a caretaker of an apartment block in Putney, and became something of a recluse.

He died in London in 1997, aged 72.
