title: Sawantwadi State

text:
Savantvadi State, also spelt Sawantwadi ruled by the Sawant Bhonsale dynasty was one of the non-salute Maratha princely states during the British Raj. It was the only state belonging to the Kolaba Agency under the Bombay Presidency, which became later part of the Deccan States Agency. Its capital was at Sawantwadi, in the present-day Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra.

Sawantvadi State measured 438 square kilometers in area. According to the 1931 census, the population was 250,589. The official language of the inhabitants of the state was Marathi while the local language is Malvani

History

Sawantwadi state was founded in 1627 by Khem Sawant I, later becoming a vassal state of the Sultanate of Bijapur. Khem Sawant II made Sundarwadi his capital which later got the name of Sawantwadi as the rulers were known as Sawants.

The Sawant dynasty, the head of the Sawantwadi State, arrived in the province in the 16th century. This dynasty ruled over South Konkan for a long time. Their career is full of bravery.

These families are considered to be the kings of the Sun dynasty.

Mang Sawant of this family was the first to come here in South Konkan. He is considered to be the progenitor of the Sawantwadi dynasty. He came to this province with the army of King of Vijayanagar.

Initially, he was stationed
at Gandharvagad in Chandgad taluka for some time. Therefore, he was also known as Chandgudhadhipati.
After coming to Konkan, he first established his stronghold at Hodawade (Tal. Vengurle). He defeated the local chiefs who had influence in the area at that time. His fame gradually spread in the province. In the previous part, the same Mang Sawant has been referred to as having a conflict with the Lord of Kudaldesha who dominates this part.

In 1580, Mang Sawant and Kudaldeshastha Prabhu's general Dev Dalvi jointly declared war on Kudal province. The purpose behind this was to establish the power of the Marathas. The lord of Kudal got help from the emperor of Bijapur. Mang Sawant was killed in a battle between the two armies at Hodawade.
It had some fortified hills, such as Manohar and Mansantosh.
On 7 April 1765 Savantvadi State became a British protectorate.

Sawantwadi acceded to the Dominion of India on 15 August 1947, becoming part of Bombay State in 1948.

Rulers
 Mang Savant (1554) - He revolted from Bijapur, tried to establish himself as an independent chief in Hodavda village near Sawantwadi. He defeated the Bijapur troops sent against him and was independent till his death. Mang's successors again became feudatories of the Bijapur kings.
 Khem Savant I (1627 - 1640) - On the decline of Bijapur power, Phond Savant's son Khem Savant, who held part of the Vadi country in grant, jaghir, made himself independent.
Som Savant (1640 - 1641) - Khem Savant was succeeded by his son Som Savant and ruled for only 18 months and later his brother, Lakham Savant succeeded him.
Lakham Savant (1641 - 1665) - He, in a predatory incursion, made captive the Desai of Kudal, put him to death, and seized his lands. When Shivaji's power increased (1650), Lakham Savant offered him his allegiance. Shivaji made him Sar Desai of the whole south Konkan. He din't abide by the terms of the treaty (1659) and joined Bijapur Sultanate. In 1660, Shivaji sent one of his earliest followers, Baji Phasalkar. He fought a drawn battle with Lakham's commander Kay Savant. Both were slain in the battle. In 1662, Shivaji defeated Lakham. From political and family motives, for the Savants like himself belonged to the Bhonsla family, Shivaji reinstated Lakham.
Phond Savant (1665 - 1675) - Lakham was succeeded by his brother Phond Savant.

title: Vicente Folch

text:
Juan Vicente Folch y Juan (1754–1829) was a Spanish military officer who served as the Governor of West Florida from June 1796 to March 1811.

Early years and military career
Vicente Folch was born in Reus, near Barcelona in the Catalan province of Tarragona, on March 8, 1754. He was a nephew of the governor of Spanish Louisiana, Esteban Rodríguez Miró. Folch studied mathematics and engineering at the Royal Military Academy of Barcelona and on April 23, 1771, he was commissioned a sublieutenant in the 2nd Regiment of Light Infantry of Catalonia in the Spanish army. He rose through the ranks, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel on October 5, 1802.

After finishing his studies in 1774, Folch fought in military campaigns in North Africa and the Mediterranean for several years, including the Siege of Melilla (1774–75), the Invasion of Algiers, and the siege of Gibraltar (1780). He was promoted to lieutenant in 1780 and in 1786 he attained the  rank of captain. Folch arrived in America in 1780 with the field army (Ejército de Operaciones) commanded by Victoriano de Navia, and worked his way through the ranks until he was promoted to captain on November 22, 1786. Seven months later, on June 19, 1787, he was appointed commandant of the post at Mobile, where he organized discovery and punitive expeditions against the Maroons. In August 1793, Folch was assigned a naval expedition to map the central part of the west coast of the province of East Florida, the area around Tampa Bay. After successfully completing this arduous task, the governor of Louisiana, Baron Carondelet, appointed him to command two small vessels that he had outfitted to patrol the coast near the mouth of the Mississippi River. Folch performed this service from July, 1794, to July, 1795. On July 28, 1795, Carondelet then appointed Folch the new commandant of the fort of San Fernando de las Barrancas. This was a hardship post at Chickasaw Bluffs overlooking the Mississippi, the present-day site of Memphis, Tennessee. Folch served there until September 1796. He was next assigned duty at Pensacola, where he served as commandant from September 30, 1795, through March 30, 1804. In June 1796 he was appointed governor of West Florida.

Government of West Florida and final years
After visiting Baton Rouge several times, Governor Folch insisted on being received with the honors due his office when he went to New Orleans on official business. He promoted road construction in Florida and the building of a road from Mobile to better protect Baton Rouge. He also reorganized and reinforced the troops stationed in the forts at Pensacola and Mobile.

When he received notice of the Kemper brothers' rebellion in Baton Rouge and their incursion into West Florida on August 7, 1804, to incite a revolution, Folch was concerned that the insurrection was a serious threat to Spanish control of Florida. He sent a troop of 150 soldiers from Pensacola to suppress the revolt; they arrived in September, and defeated the insurrectionists, who had failed to gain the support of local Anglo-American settlers, most of whom were satisfied with Spanish rule.

In 1811, fearing the possibility that Great Britain would occupy Florida in its war against Napoleon, Folch decided to cede West Florida to the United States temporarily.

Folch was promoted to brigadier in 1810, and replaced by his son-in-law Francisco Maximiliano Saint Maxent La Roche in March 1811 as governor of West Florida. He then went to Havana, where he served as a member of the Estado Mayor (General Staff) and as second to the Captain General of Cuba.  He was appointed Field Marshal of the Spanish Royal Armies and decorated with the Grand Cross of the Royal and Military Order of Saint Hermenegild (Real y Militar Orden de San Hermenegildo). He died in 1829 in Havana.

title: Philip Sachs

text:
Philip "Cincy" Sachs (April 1, 1902 – December 19, 1973) was an American basketball interim head coach for the Detroit Falcons, a Basketball Association of America team, in 1946–47. After taking over the team from Glenn M. Curtis, Sachs posted an 8–18 win-loss record while in charge of the Falcons. Prior to coaching in the BAA, he had spent time coaching the Detroit Gems before they entered the National Basketball League.

Sachs was born in Russia and moved to Cincinnati, Ohio around 1904. His interest in basketball grew as a child, and in August 1917 his family moved to Detroit, Michigan. In 1919 he began his head coaching career; his first-ever team went 30–1 and lost in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) championship game. Between 1936 and 1940, Sachs coached the Lawrence Institute of Technology team. In his first season they placed second in the Michigan–Ontario League, and in his second year they tied for first place. His overall record at Lawrence Tech was 56–28.

In Sachs' post-BAA years, he started a boys' basketball school, promoted tournaments, and worked full-time at the Griswold Sporting Goods Company. He also coached the teams who the Harlem Globetrotters would play against, even winning some on occasion. His cumulative overall head coaching record (including high school, AAU, semi-professional, and professional) was 782–158, a winning percentage of .832. He died in Detroit on December 19, 1973 never having married.

Yuri Goloubev (born 27 July 1972) is a jazz musician, composer and double bass player. He switched to jazz in 2004 after over a dozen years as a bass player in classical orchestras, and has achieved success in jazz also as a performer with "perfect pitch, flawless execution and an improviser's imagination". He is also praised for his arco playing. Ian Patterson, writing in All About Jazz wrote "There are few better exponents of arco, and his tone has the warm resonance of a cello."

Classical career
Yuri Goloubev won the First Prize in the All-Soviet-Union Students' Competition in 1990, then started work as the Principal Bass with the Moscow-based "Ensemble XXI" Chamber Orchestra (1990–1991). From 1991 until 1992 he also worked as a section bass with the Bolshoi Theatre. He studied classical composition at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and 1995 he received his master's degree in double bass as a soloist and chamber music performer. From 1992 til 2004 he was the Principal Bass with the Moscow Soloists directed by Yuri Bashmet. It was during this time that he performed with many artists such as Mario Brunello, Sarah Chang, James Galway, Lynn Harrell, Barbara Hendricks, Kim Kashkashian, Gidon Kremer, Shlomo Mintz, Thomas Quasthoff, Sviatoslav Richter, Mstislav Rostropovich, Vladimir Spivakov, Uto Ughi and Maxim Vengerov. He has performed at venues such as Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall, Musikverein, Carnegie Hall, Suntory Hall, Gewandhaus, Concertgebouw, Salle Pleyel, Palacio de Bellas Artes, Palais des Beaux Arts, Accademia di Santa Cecilia and Megaro. He has also appeared at major festivals such as the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival (Finland), Hong Kong Festival of the Arts, Bath Music Festival (UK), Perth Festival (Australia), Casals Festival (Puerto Rico), Prestige de la Musique (France) and Omaggio a Roma (Italy).

Jazz career
In December 2004 Goloubev moved to Milan, dedicated himself solely to jazz and quickly gained the attention of many Italian musicians. He worked with such artists as Francesco Bearzatti, Fabrizio Bosso, Antonio Faraò, Giovanni Falzone, Claudio Fasoli, Paolo Fresu, Rosario Giuliani, Guido Manusardi, Massimo Manzi, Enrico Pieranunzi and Glauco Venier. He also worked with Bob James, Pablo Held, Till Brönner, Asaf Sirkis, Harvey Mason, Franco Ambrosetti, Kenny Werner, Klaus Gesing, John Law, Benjamin Henocq, Stan Sulzmann, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Julian Argüelles, Tim Garland, Rick Margitza, Manhu Roche, Gwilym Simcock, Chico Freeman, Jason Rebello, Daniele Di Bonaventura, Chihiro Yamanaka, Bill Smith and Billy Kilson. In 2007–2009 he taught at the jazz faculty of CPM Music Institute in Milan and in 2010 became the Jazz Double Bass Professor at The Conservatorio di Musica F.A. Bonporti, Trento. Currently (since 2015), he teaches at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff, Wales.

Goloubev is also a composer and has released several albums as leader. His album Two Chevrons Apart received a 4-star review in DownBeat.

He has performed on over 100 recordings and two of his recent trio recordings have been selected as Critics Choice Top 10 Jazz Albums in Japan: Roberto Olzer Trio - Steppin' Out, #1 Best Jazz Album, 2013, Michele di Toro Trio - Play, #8 Best Jazz Album, 2014. Various albums with his participation have been featured in the inflight entertainment programs of such airlines as Air France, Lufthansa, British Airways, Swiss, Emirates.
He has received widespread acclaim for his partnership with the pianist Gwilym Simcock in two recordings released on ACT Music in 2014. Their album "Duo Art: Reverie at Schloss Elmau" received a number of 4 star reviews. The critic Dave Gelly wrote in The Observer "In Russian bassist Yuri Goloubev, Gwilym Simcock has obviously found a collaborator with the same expansive imagination and equal virtuosity. The interplay between the two is like musical telepathy." In JazzTimes H. Allen Williams wrote, "Goloubev's playing is a sound of beauty with impeccable technique and heartfelt feel."

title: Bushnell Rock Member

text:
The Bushnell Rock Member is a geologic rock formation, named after an outcropping of an exposed portion of the member itself known as Bushnell Rock by University of Oregon Geologist Ewart M. Baldwin in 1974.  This combined with Tenmile Member and Olalla Creek Member makeup the larger Lookingglass Formation lying beneath the Lookingglass Valley in Douglas County, Oregon.

Lithology
The Bushnell Rock Member is a basal conglomerate with sandstone beds occurring on a rarity.  It was deposited by an onlapping sea that started during the Paleocene but the bulk of the formation was deposited during the early Eocene. The conglomerate is composed of 70% rock fragments (60% sedimentary, 30% metamorphic, 10% volcanic) 1 to 2 inches in diameter and a 30% percent matrix of medium to coarsegrained sands(66% quartz, 33% feldspar).   Because the member is not well exposed other than a few limited areas, measurement for the overall stratigraphic thickness has not been achieved.  It was determined in one measured section to be at least 5 meters thick but there is indication where it contacts the Olalla Creek Member of up to 100 meters.

Fossils
Conglomerate rocks can produce fossils, but they are usually contained in a portion of a rock type within the fragment mix.  The Bushnell Rock Member is not known for producing fossils.

title: Coyote Butte Limestone

text:
The Coyote Butte Limestone (OR085) is a geologic formation in Oregon. It preserves fossils dating back to the Sakmarian to Kungurian stages of the Permian period, spanning an estimated 23 million years. The formation occurs in isolated buttes to the north; Triangulation Hill, and south; type locality and name giver Coyote Butte and Tuckers Butte, on either side of the Grindstone and Twelvemile Creeks in Crook County, Oregon.

Description
The Coyote Butte Formation was first defined by Merriam and Berthiaume in 1943. The formation crops out in isolated buttes (Coyote & Tuckers) south and north (Triangulation Hill) of the Grindstone and Twelvemile Creeks in Crook County, central Oregon. The formation comprises an uncommonly unaltered and well-exposed set of Permian shallow marine and reefal limestones in the tectonically complex Permian present-day Pacific margin of western North America.

The Coyote Butte Formation is represented by isolated limestone hills ( in area), of which most appear to have the same stratigraphic and biostratigraphic sequence and appear to be right-side-up. The resistant limestone blocks stand above the surrounding rocks of the "melange." The Coyote Butte Formation represents shallow-water carbonate-platform deposition and contains a varied faunal assemblage of corals, bryozoans, algae, fusulinids, brachiopods, crinoids, and conodonts.

Paleogeographic situation
The formation is dated to the Sakmarian to Kungurian stages of the Early to Middle Permian period, spanning an estimated 23 million years from 296 to 273 Ma. During these times, what is now central Oregon, was located at the edge of Pangea in the northern paleotemperate zone, at paleolatitudes of 16-18° North.

Climate

Tectonics

The hinterland of the carbonate platform where the Coyote Butte Limestone was deposited, was formed by the Arizonan and Utahan arid landscapes of a Pangea starting to break up. This occurred before the Sonoma orogeny was active in western North America and during the Alleghanian orogeny in eastern Laurentia and western Europe.

The 23 million year deposition coincided with impact of the Clearwater West crater, dated at 286.2 ± 2.6 million years ago.

Paleontological significance

The formation is the only discovered Paleozoic fossiliferous formation in the state of Oregon, and comprises an uncommonly unaltered and well-exposed set of Early to Mid Permian shallow marine and reefal limestones in the tectonically complex Permian present-day Pacific margin of western North America. The formation just predates Olson's Extinction; a mass extinction that occurred  in the early Guadalupian of the Permian period and which predated the Permian–Triassic extinction event.

title: Vester Formation

text:
The Vester Formation is a geologic formation in Oregon which preserves fossils dating back to the Triassic period. The partial skeleton of a new genus of basal thalattosaur has been recovered from the Brisbois Member of this formation. The Brisbois Member, which dates to between the Carnian and Norian, is a marine sequence primarily composed of fine-grained clastic sedimentary rocks with fissile mudstones of black, green or gray variety broken up by widely spaced intervals of calcirudite beds and calcareous conglomerate. The formation formed between two parallel island arcs, that of the Baker Terrane and the Olds Ferry Terrane. The formation mostly consists of reworked chert grains from the Baker Terrane. In addition to the remains of the basal thalattosaur, fragmentary and undescribed remains exist of an ichthyosaur, archosaur, and a hybodontid shark as well as many invertebrate fossils.

title: Liu Yiqian

text:
Liu Yiqian (, pronounced , born 1963) is a Chinese billionaire investor and art collector. An autodidact who formerly worked as a taxi driver, he has built his fortune since the mid-1980s by investing in stock trading, real estate and pharmaceuticals.

Biography
Born in 1963 into a working-class family in Shanghai, Liu Yiqian dropped out of school at the age of 14, in order to help his mother to sell handbags on the street. Then he became a taxi driver in Shanghai for two years in the mid-1980s, before making his fortune in the 1990s as part of the new rich who emerged after China's reform and opening-up policy. He bought shares, paying around 160 yuan ($30) a share, of a Chinese company which became one of the first to list on the stock exchange as China began developing its capital markets. As a consequence, in just two years, the share price jumped to over 10,000 yuan. Liu increased his fortune by touring the major cities to buy up shares in state-owned enterprises from their market economy from unaware employees before these enterprises listed.

He met his wife Wang Wei as he was a taxi driver in Shanghai, after Liu saw a photograph of Wang at a mutual friend's place. They have three daughters and one son.

Business
Liu is chairman of Sunline Group, a Shanghai-based investment company As of 2010, the value of his real estate properties have increased to 10 billion yuan (US$1.6 billion) over the past 19 years.

In 2004, Liu established the companies Tianping Auto Insurance and Guohua Life Insurance. In April 2013, Tianping formed a joint venture with AXA.

According to Forbes, as of July 2015, Liu has a net worth of US$1.37 billion. He ranked as the 163rd wealthiest individual in China and 1,533rd wealthiest in the world.

Art collecting
In April 2014, Liu paid HK$281.24 million (US$36.3 million) for a 500-year-old Ming dynasty doucai chicken cup.

In March 2015, he paid HK$348 million (US$45 million) for a 600-year-old embroidered silk thangka (tapestry) that was commissioned by the Yongle Emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was a record high price for a Chinese work of art sold by an international auction house. Later that month, he bought an antique Tibetan bronze yogi sitting in the lotus position at an auction at Sotheby's in New York.

In April 2015, he paid US$14.7 million for a Guan ware vase from the Southern Song dynasty.

In November 2015, he bought Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani's Nu couché (1917–18), a widely known painting of a reclining nude woman, for US$170.4 million, the second-highest price for an artwork at auction, in a volatile sale at Christie's in New York. He paid for the painting with his American Express Centurion card.

Long Museum

Liu and his wife Wang Wei founded the Long Museum, with two locations in Shanghai. In 2016, a third location was opened in Chongqing and a Wuhan branch is scheduled for 2018.

title: Gileston railway station

text:
Gileston railway station served the village of Gileston in South Wales.

Description
The station had two platforms with a building on the down platform. The station building was of red brick with yellow quoins. The platforms were linked with a metal footbridge. In later years, a wooden canopy was built on the other platform when the opening of RAF St Athan increased traffic on the line. There was also a small goods yard off the down line.

Name
In the early stages of planning, the station's name was not decided upon, and the names 'Gileston' and 'St Athan' were used interchangeably. The name Gileston was not fixed until 1896. At some point in its later life, the station's nameboard read 'Gileston for St Athan'. The boards displayed this name until closing, but the station but was usually referred to just as Gileston.

Additional Duties
When the southern section of the Llantrisant-Aberthaw line between Cowbridge and Aberthaw closed to passengers, the staff at St Athan Road and Aberthaw Low Level were withdrawn, and their duties were allotted to the staff at Gileston.

Closure
The station closed when passenger services on the line ended in 1964. Although the Vale of Glamorgan Line has since re-opened to passengers, no new station at Gileston has been built.

title: No Place to Hide (1993 film)

text:
No Place to Hide is a 1993 American detective film written and directed by Richard Danus and starring Kris Kristofferson.

Cast
 Kris Kristofferson as Joe Garvey
 Drew Barrymore as Tinsel Hanley/Narrator
 Martin Landau as Frank McCoy
 Illana Diamant as Joline
 O. J. Simpson as Allie Wheeler
 Dey Young as Karen
 Bruce Weitz as Captain Nelson Silva
 Seth Marten as Harold Rosen
 Lydie Denier as Pamela Hanley
 Kane Hodder as Weller
 Lilyan Chauvin as Mother Superior

Reception
The film was widely panned by critics, particularly Richard Harrington of the Washington Post: "No Place to Hide is so bad it's not even any good. No guilty pleasures are to be found in its preposterously clumsy plot, or in the limp performance of Kris Kristofferson; someone check his pulse. Even Drew Barrymore regresses from the promise of Guncrazy by being forced to play a petulant 14-year-old caught up in a web of murder and intrigue. For both actors, this film is a triumph of underachievement...The laconic Kristofferson's acting range is measured between squinting eyes and a grinding jaw...The gradually-developing bond between Kris and Drew is excruciatingly detailed in the latter's voiced-over diary entries. It's all very embarrassing...Director Richard Danus, who beats his own script to a pulp, has no idea where to take any of this; loose plot threads abound. The inevitable revelation of a secret society run by Dirty Harry-type elitists is simply ridiculous; if ever a film needed a Satanic subplot, it's this one. In any number of confrontations with Drew's would-be-killer (who looks and acts suspiciously like The Shadow), Kristofferson tells Barrymore to 'Run, run...! Get out of here!' Take those as subliminal messages."

To this day, Kristofferson and Landau are, apparently, not fans of the film themselves. Once, when asked about the picture by a fan, Landau's retort was "Why would you want to know about that one?" For his part, Kristofferson often pretends not to even remember making the film.

title: Professional baseball in Connecticut

text:
There have been numerous professional baseball teams in Connecticut since the late 1800s. Most have been minor league teams, however, some early major league teams played in Connecticut. The last major league team was the Hartford Dark Blues, which played its final season in Hartford as a charter member of the newly-established modern National League in 1876.

History

New Britain/Bristol
Minor League Baseball in New Britain has had a wide variety of teams and notable players, famous players such as Roger Clemens, David Ortiz and Curt Schilling have played for New Britain; The individual considered the fastest pitcher in professional baseball, Steve Dalkowski, also grew up in New Britain.  The Boston Red Sox former AA Pawtucket Red Sox moved to Bristol in 1973, and then to New Britain in 1983.  In 1995 the New Britain Red Sox became the Minnesota Twins affiliate and changed their name to the Rock Cats.  The team switched its affiliation to the Colorado Rockies prior to the 2015 season and left New Britain in favor of Hartford at the end of the 2015 season, but was replaced by the Independent New Britain Bees of the Atlantic League.

At the end of the 2019 season, the New Britain Bees announced the franchise was leaving the Atlantic League, and reorganizing as an amateur team in the New England–based Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL). The nearby Bristol Blues transferred from the FCBL to the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) at the end of 2019, creating a vacancy in the league for the Bees.

Hartford
Hartford had nearly continuous baseball from 1874 to 1952, including early major league baseball teams from 1874 to 1877.  Notable events include five league titles by the Hartford Senators. In 2016, the former minor league club from New Britain began play as the Hartford Yard Goats, but did not play a home game in Hartford until 2017.

Waterbury
Several different Minor League Baseball teams have been located in the city of Waterbury, Connecticut since 1884.  These include 1884–1888, 1891, 1894–1895, 1897–1902, 1906–1914, 1918–1928, 1947–1950, 1966–1971, and 1973–1986. Teams won their respective league championships three times in 1924, 1925, and 1970.

The earliest Waterbury teams played in the Connecticut State League between 1884 and 1912. These teams went by several different nicknames during this period, including the Brassmen, Brass City, Indians, Pirates, Rough Riders, Authors, Invisibles, Finnegans, Champs and Spuds. The Waterbury Brasscos (also called the Nattatucks) played in the old Eastern League from 1918–1928. They won two league titles in 1924 and 1925. The Waterbury Timers played in the Colonial League between 1947 and 1950.

Waterbury became home to professional baseball again in 1966 when the Waterbury Giants, an affiliate of Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants came to town. From 1966 to 1986 (with the exception of 1972), the Waterbury team played in the Eastern League as an affiliate of the Giants, Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Dodgers, Oakland Athletics, Cincinnati Reds and California Angels. The team name changed every time the affiliation agreement changed hands. Waterbury did not have an Eastern League team at the start of the 1972 season. However, in the middle of the season, flooding made the ballpark in Elmira, New York unusable, and so the Elmira Pioneers played their "home games" in the second half of the 1972 season in Waterbury.

The Independent Northeast League chose to place a team in Waterbury in 1997 as the Waterbury Spirit, but they moved after the 2000 season to become the North Shore Spirit.

The Chinese in Latin America and the Caribbean is a 2010 book edited by Walton Look Lai and Tan Chee-Beng and published by Brill.

The essays in the book were previously published as a portion of an issue of the Journal of Overseas Chinese, a publication of the International Society for the Study of Chinese Overseas (ISSCO) of Singapore. Look Lai is a University of the West Indies (UWI) professor who specialized in studying the British Caribbean population of Chinese and Southeast Asians. Tan, a Hong Kong-based man who is the editor of the Journal of Overseas Chinese, is a specialist in studying the Southeast Asian ethnic Chinese populations.

Contents
Look Lai wrote the introduction.

The remaining portion of the book has three parts, which together have eight chapters. The Chinese immigration discussed in these chapters include those from the early colonial era to the present.

The sole article of Part I is "The Early Colonial Period" by Edward Slack, Jr. This article discusses the first Chinese immigration to Mexico. The source material of this chapter originates from the General Archive of the Indies in Seville, Spain and the Archivo General de la Nación in Mexico City. John Kuo Wei Tchen of New York University wrote that the Slack article "is a valuable baseline framing of the early Manila-Acapulco “China trade,” the Asian peoples moving to colonial Mexico, and the emergence of the New World typology of “chino” or “indio chino,” a legal subcategory of the “indios” of the Americas."

Part II, "The Classic Migration," includes Chapters 2-5. Chapter 2, written by Look Lai, discusses overall migration from Asia during the 19th Century. Chapter 3, written by Evelyn Hu-Dehart, discusses anti-Chinese sentiment in Latin America. Hu-Dehart's essay examines a question asked by Nicolás Cárdenas García, a scholar from Mexico, on whether the Chinese in Latin America are "integrated and foreign." Chapter 4, written by Belizean St. John Robinson, is a comparative analysis which discusses Chinese populations of Central America. Chapter 5, written by Lisa Yun, is an interview with Ruthanne Lum discussing Lum's book, God of Luck. Dorothea A. L. Martin of Appalachian State University stated that the first two chapters of this section are "the anchors of the work".

Part III, "Old Migrants, new Immigration," includes Chapters 6-8. The overall focus are relations between different generations of immigrants in Latin America. Chapter 6, by Isabelle Lausent-Herrera, discusses the history and internal relations of Chinese Peruvians. Chapter 7, written by anthropologist Paul B. Tjon Sie Fat, discusses the groups of Chinese Surinamese and their responses to anti-Chinese sentiment. Chapter 8, by Kathleen Lopez, discusses Chinese Cubans in the post-Soviet Union era. The article discusses a PRC-Cuba initiative to renovate the Havana Chinatown.

title: Mark Skinner

text:
Mark T. Skinner (September 13, 1813 – September 16, 1887) was an American politician, attorney, and philanthropist from Vermont. The son of a Vermont politician and judge, Skinner decided to follow his father into the legal profession. He moved west to Chicago, Illinois, and was named City Attorney for Chicago and United States Attorney for the Illinois District. In 1846, Skinner was elected to a term in the Illinois House of Representatives. During the Civil War, during which he lost his only son, Skinner served on the United States Sanitary Commission and oversaw a similar organization in Chicago. After retiring from law and politics, he managed real estate and focused on charitable endeavors.

Biography
Mark T. Skinner was born in Manchester, Vermont, on September 13, 1813. His father was Richard Skinner, at the time a member of the United States House of Representatives and the future Governor of Vermont. Skinner attended the Pittsfield Academy, studying under Chester Dewey. He was accepted to the University of Vermont in 1830 and graduated three years later.

Skinner followed his father's profession and studied law in Saratoga Springs, New York, under Esek Cowen and Nicholas Hill. He also attended the New Haven Law School for a year, studying under David Daggett and Samuel J. Hitchcock. Although he considered joining Hill as a partner, Skinner instead headed west to Chicago, Illinois. He was immediately admitted to the bar and started a practice, partnering with George A. O. Beaumont. In 1839, Skinner was elected City Attorney for Chicago.

In 1844 President John Tyler nominated Skinner to be United States Attorney for the District of Illinois. Tyler reappointed Skinner in February 1845. When James K. Polk succeeded Tyler in March, Isaac N. Arnold challenged Skinner for the appointment. After extended debate, Arnold and Skinner agreed to defer to a third candidate, David L. Gregg.

In 1846, Skinner was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives as a Democrat, serving one two-year term. Skinner formed a law partnership with Thomas Hoyne in 1847 that operated until 1851, when Skinner was elected Judge of the Cook County Court of Common Pleas. After his term expired, Skinner spent the rest of his life managing real estate.

Upon its founding, Skinner was named President of the Northwestern Sanitary Commission, which provided relief for sick and wounded soldiers of the Civil War. He held the position until 1864. In 1862, Skinner was also named to the United States Sanitary Commission and served until it was disbanded in 1866.

Skinner married Elizabeth Magill Williams on May 21, 1841. Their son Richard was killed during the Civil War at the Battle of Jerusalem Plank Road. They also had four daughters. Skinner served on the Chicago Board of School Inspectors, and Chicago's Skinner West and Skinner North schools were named in his honor.

Skinner also helped to organize the Young Men's Association of Chicago, which later became the Chicago Library Association. He was a co-founder and first President of the Board of Directors of the Chicago Reform School.  He also donated to Manchester, Vermont the Mark Skinner Library, which operated until 2013, when a larger, more modern community library was opened and the Skinner library building was sold to a private developer. There are also two Chicago Public Schools which use his name (Skinner North and Skinner West.)

He served at times on the board of directors of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and Galena and Chicago Union Railroads. He was one of the original trustees of the Cook County Hospital and was a trustee of the Illinois Charitable Eye & Ear Infirmary. Skinner was a charter member of the Second Presbyterian Church and served on its board of trustees.

Skinner died on September 16, 1887, while visiting Manchester, Vermont and was buried at Manchester's Dellwood Cemetery.

title: Gift Wrapped (game show)

text:
Gift Wrapped (previously called The Gift List) is a British game show that aired on ITV from 18 to 29 August 2014. It was hosted by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Holmes.

Gameplay
Three couples compete against each other in a series of quiz rounds for a chance to win all five of their selected prizes and a bonus holiday.

Round 1
In the first round, nine categories are shown on the board, each consisting of nine questions. Each team chooses a category and must answer questions correctly in a row to earn points. Once a team misses a question or answers all nine questions correctly, their turn ends. The team with the most points on each turn gets to "unwrap" one of their "gifts". The round ends when each team has selected two categories.

Round 2
In the second round, the teams take turns answering questions which require filling in the missing item from a series of lists. Each correct answer unwraps a team's gift. The first two teams to unwrap all five of their gifts move on to the next round, the other leaves with nothing.

Round 3
In the third round, each team faces five multiple choice questions, each containing three possible answers. Each question can have one, two, or three correct answers. Both teams alternate turns, whether they answered correctly or incorrectly. The first team to answer all five of their questions correctly unwraps their bonus holiday gift and moves on to the final round, the other leaves with nothing.

Final round
In the final round, the winning team has a chance to win all six of their prizes. One partner is sent offstage to an isolation booth, while the other is shown six categories and has 30 seconds (5 seconds per category) to create a list of items that describe each category. When time is up, the isolated partner is brought back onstage and must guess what each category is based on their partner's clues. Each correct answer wins the team one of their prizes with all six winning them the holiday in addition to their other five prizes.

The National Windstorm Impact Reduction Act Reauthorization of 2014 () is a bill that would reauthorize the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program (NWIRP), which was created to improve the understanding of windstorms and their impacts and to develop measures to reduce the damage they cause. The bill also would establish new committees to coordinate the activities of federal agencies participating in the program and to assess developments in efforts to mitigate damage from windstorms.

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

Background
According to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), during the five years of 2008-2012, there were over 7500 tornadoes reported in the United States, as well as 75,000 high wind reports, and 17 different tropical cyclones that hit the United States. A report from the Center for American Progress estimated that the federal government spent $136 billion from 2011 to 2013 on disaster relief and recovery efforts. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that since 1980 there have been 151 weather-related disasters in the United States that each individually exceeded $1 billion in economic losses, altogether costing over $1 trillion.

The National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program is run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the NOAA, and the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Provisions of the bill
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.

The National Windstorm Impact Reduction Reauthorization Act of 2014 would amend the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Act of 2004 to revise provisions governing the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program. The bill would designate the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as the entity with primary responsibility for Program planning and coordination.

The bill would replace provisions establishing an Interagency Working Group with provisions establishing the Interagency Coordinating Committee on Windstorm Impact Reduction. The bill would direct the Committee to submit a Strategic Plan for the Program that includes: (1) prioritized goals that will mitigate against the loss of life and property from future windstorms; (2) research objectives to achieve those goals; (3) a description of the role of each Program agency in achieving such goals; (4) the methods by which progress will be assessed; and (5) an explanation of how the Program will foster the transfer of research results into outcomes, such as improved model building codes. Requires the Committee to submit a progress report and to develop a coordinated budget for the Program, to be submitted at the time of the President's annual budget submission.

The bill would revise provisions providing for the establishment of an Advisory Committee on Windstorm Impact Reduction (currently, the National Advisory Committee on Windstorm Impact Reduction) to offer assessments of the Program, including assessments of the priorities of the Strategic Plan. Terminates the Committee on September 30, 2016.

Authorizes appropriations to the agencies carrying out the Program for FY2014-FY2016.

Congressional Budget Office report
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology on February 28, 2014. This is a public domain source.

H.R. 1786 would reauthorize the National Windstorm Impact Reduction Program, which was created to improve the understanding of windstorms and their impacts and to develop measures to reduce the damage they cause. The bill also would establish new committees to coordinate the activities of federal agencies participating in the program and to assess developments in efforts to mitigate damage from windstorms.

Assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that implementing H.R. 1786 would cost $21 million over the 2015-2019 period. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.

H.R. 1786 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.

Procedural history
The National Windstorm Impact Reduction Reauthorization Act of 2014 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on April 26, 2013 by Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R, TX-19). It was referred to the United States House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, the United States House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, the United States House Transportation Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management, and the United States House Science Subcommittee on Research and Technology. On March 13, 2014, it was reported (amended) alongside House Report 113-380 part 1.

Debate and discussion
The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), a 501(c) organization funded by the insurance industry, supported the bill, with their General Counsel and Senior Vice President for Public Policy Debra T. Ballen testifying before Congress about the bill. According to IBHS, federal research into mitigating damage from windstorms is "critical" to reducing risk. The IBHS also argued that the NWIRP is an important program that can check and expand upon the research into mitigating the damage of windstorms that IBHS is already conducting. IBHS argued strongly in favor of mitigation efforts in their testimony, indicating that it protects the environment from post-disaster debris, helps the community, cuts costs for both individuals and taxpayers, and is a smart business strategy.

Representatives Frederica Wilson (D-FL) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) both opposed, in a hearing on the bill, the funding decrease of 14 percent in the bill.

The BuildStrong Coalition supported the bill, with chairman Jimi Grande arguing that a recent tropical storm provided "a stark reminder of the importance of promoting common sense mitigation legislation that will better protect property, save lives and ultimately reduce taxpayer exposure to natural disasters."

title: DL Skateboards

text:
DL Skateboards is a skateboard company based in Topanga Canyon, California, United States (US). Founded in 2011 by artist and skateboarding couple Derek Mabra and Lauren Andino, the original versions of the skateboards were created in their Brooklyn, NY apartment.

Mabra, a former woodworker, shapes each solid oak skateboard by hand, and Andino does the painting.  The artwork is inspired by the California surf scene of the 1960s, showcasing minimal, surfboard-like designs. Mabra and Andino are advocates for American-made small businesses and were featured in The Wall Street Journals "Made in America: Holiday Gift Guide" in 2012.

In 2014 The Daily Beast called the skateboards "cult favorites". Andino was also featured in a Marie Claire Magazine article as one of "5 Women Running the Show Behind Iconic Male Brands" Mabra and Andino's lifestyle and business was also profiled in a short documentary created by Cool Hunting.

title: Los Angeles (Maywood) Assembly

text:
Los Angeles (Maywood) Assembly was a Chrysler assembly plant located in the City of Commerce, near Maywood in southeastern Los Angeles County, California. It was an assembly location where vehicles were shipped by railroad in "knock-down kits" from Detroit, where they were locally assembled, combined with locally sourced parts. Vehicles assembled at Maywood were largely sold in California and the Western United States. It operated from 1932 until 1971, at 5800 Eastern Avenue and Slauson Boulevard.

The Ford Maywood Assembly Plant was across the street and began operations in 1948. GM later opened the South Gate Assembly further south in 1936.

Production
In 1932 the Los Angeles Assembly manufactured Dodge and Plymouth trucks. During World War II the plant switched to war production, manufacturing over 40,000 aircraft engines, as well as Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Lockheed PV-2 cabin tops.

Automobiles
Chrysler Corporation automobile divisions that were assembled here were:
 Plymouth 1932-1964
 Dodge 1946-1964
 DeSoto 1932-1959
 Chrysler 1948-1960
Automobiles models assembled here include:
