title: They Want My Soul

text:
They Want My Soul is the eighth studio album by American indie rock band Spoon. It was released on August 5, 2014 through the band's new label, Loma Vista Recordings. It is the band's first album to feature Alex Fischel, who plays keyboards and guitar.

Background
The band took several years off following the release of Transference in 2010, giving each member time to explore other projects. Frontman Britt Daniel explained that the band members were "all a little burned out", and that he personally needed "something that was going to reinvigorate me, to excite me about working on new stuff again." To this end, Daniel formed the group Divine Fits with Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade, which recorded and released the album A Thing Called Divine Fits in 2012. Jim Eno produced albums for other bands during the downtime, while Rob Pope toured with his band The Get Up Kids, and Eric Harvey recorded a solo album.

Recording
The band first met to record with Joe Chiccarelli in September 2013 with very little material written, opting to take some time to explore different songwriting approaches together. Daniel later said that the early sessions "felt, to some degree, like we were getting back to the essence of Spoon; just having fun playing together, and [...] figuring out new ways of doing what we've always done." Several songs were recorded during these early sessions with Chicarelli, though some of the material was ultimately scrapped.

The group began working with Dave Fridmann in January 2014, staying at his studio in Cassadaga, New York, during the sessions. Daniel credited much of the album's aesthetic to Fridmann, stating: "His sound is kind of all over it. He has a really unique manner about him, a really cool perspective; he kind of maxes everything out. We've never worked with somebody like that before - somebody with such a strong sense of their own style."

Release
On May 27, 2014, the band posted an image to their Facebook page with the words "SPOON," "R.I.P.," and "JUNE 10" printed in white against a black background. This led to some speculation about whether a new album or single might be released on that date. The following week, Britt Daniel and Jim Eno announced the album's title and release date in an interview with NPR Music. On June 10, the letters "R.I.P." were revealed to stand for the title of the album's lead single, "Rent I Pay". The song was released that day, as well as the album's track listing and artwork.

In July, the band announced a first-of-its-kind "vinyl gratification" initiative. From July 15 through the album's release date, all pre-orders of the vinyl album through participating independent record stores would immediately receive a free 10-inch 45 RPM record containing three of the album's tracks: "Rent I Pay", "Inside Out", and "Do You". 150 different record stores within the United States participated.

Reception

They Want My Soul received universal acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 81, based on 42 reviews, awarding the band its fifth "universal acclaim" tag of its career. Michael Roffman wrote in his review for Consequence of Sound that "the Austin rockers once again sound fresh, jubilant, and ready to have fun with their music — a first since their Got Nuffin EP back in 2009." Rolling Stone'''s Jon Dolan described the album as "an immediate grabber on par with the group's best work to date," praising its "rich, luminous sound" and "broad musical palette". Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune admired the "array of new colors" Alex Fischel brought to the band's sound, stating that the "trance-like, futuristic rush of 'Outlier' sounds particularly fresh". Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times felt that much of the album's success could be attributed to "a tension between experimentation and allegiance to form", an aspect highlighted by Chiccarelli and Fridmann's production work. Stephen Carlick of Exclaim! concluded in his eight out of ten review: "Following the longest between-album wait of their career, They Want My Soul is a bold and swaggering declaration that Spoon have undoubtedly still got it — in spades." The Village Voices Pazz & Jop annual critics' poll named They Want My Soul as the ninth-best album of 2014.

A few reviewers felt the album sounded a bit too similar to the band's past efforts. In a seven out of ten star review, Billy Hamilton wrote for Under the Radar that "Despite the band's four-year vacation, They Want My Soul doesn't tread much fresh ground. Essentially, this is Spoon as Spoon has always been," but clarified: "While it's sonically nothing new, what Spoon offers is still infinitely more polished than the work of any of their contemporaries." Jamie Milton of DIY stated that "They Want My Soul is in a slight catch 22; it's exciting to hear a band so resolutely in their zone, but on the flipside it doesn't offer anything remotely new, and that's the opposite of exciting." Matthew Fiander of PopMatters, however, thought the familiarity of the album's sound worked to its advantage: "They Want My Soul'' [is] another strong record from the band, one that pushes forward in interesting ways while still staying rooted in Spoon's signature sound. If it stumbles, it does so rarely and in search of the new."

Colonial Australia
Robinson was a Quaker and arrived aboard the Cornubia in Sydney in June 1842. Benjamin Boyd was a partner, and together they set up an office at Church Hill.
Robinson's banking business brought him to the Port Phillip District in 1843 and in March 1844, he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council for the Town of Melbourne. Robinson held the seat until 20 June 1848.

Robinson was the seconder of John Dunmore Lang's motion in the New South Wales Legislative Council that the Port Phillip District be separated from New South Wales.

title: Peter Marquardt

text:
Peter Charles Marquardt (July 1, 1964 – July 19, 2014) was an American actor and video game producer.

He was best known for his debut film role as the drug lord Moco (Spanish for "booger") in Robert Rodriguez's 1993 action film El Mariachi. He landed the role following a chance encounter with Rodriguez at a research facility, where both men were volunteering as test subjects for cholesterol-lowering medication. Rodriguez cast Marquardt in the Spanish-language El Mariachi despite the fact that Marquardt did not speak Spanish.

Marquardt reprised the role of Moco for a flashback sequence in Rodriguez's next film, Desperado. He later appeared in Rodriguez's Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over and starred in the 2011 horror-thriller The Shadow People.

Outside of film acting, Marquardt was an associate producer on several video games for Ion Storm, including Deus Ex and Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom. He also co-produced Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3.

Marquardt died in Austin, Texas on July 19, 2014, at the age of 50.

title: Boxing at the 2014 Commonwealth Games – Women's middleweight

text:
The Women's middleweight boxing competition at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland took place between July 29 and August 2 at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. For the first time ever women's boxing will be contested.

Like all Commonwealth boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament. Both semifinal losers were awarded bronze medals, so no boxers competed again after their first loss. Bouts consisted of four rounds of two minutes each, with a one-minute break between rounds. Punches scored only if the front of the glove made full contact with the front of the head or torso of the opponent. Three judges scored each bout; the winner of the bout was the boxer who won the most rounds.

title: Pretail

text:
Pretail (also referred to as pre-tail, pre-retail, pre-launch, or pre-commerce) is a sub-category of e-commerce and online retail for introducing new products, services, and brands to market by pre-launching online, from creating an interest waitlist of signups before launch to collecting reservations or pre-orders in limited quantity before release, realization, or commercial availability. Pretail allows new product ideas/prototypes to be mass produced only when they have reached an initial threshold of buy-in from investors/consumers.   Pretail includes pre-sale commerce, pre-order retailers, pre-launch marketing services, incubation marketplaces,  crowdfunding communities, and demand chain management systems.

Pretail results in marketing efficiency, margin efficiency (cutting down on the middlemen like physical retailers or distributors), and product efficiency (getting direct feedback from potential customers fosters innovation and eliminates guesswork).

Retailers today are increasingly pretailing to test, promote, and monetize consumer demand in the initial phase of the new commerce pipeline as first introduced in a 2012 Forbes article. Some examples are: Tesla’s model 3 pre-order or VR gaming headset Oculus Rift funded through Kickstarter. Consumers engaging in pretail are known as an early adopter, fan, backer, supporter, or presumer (pre-launch consumer).

Growth

Pretail demand is growing in consumer retail: electronics, movies, music, video games, books, fashion, software apps, connected devices, cars, toys, cosmetics, art, events, etc. This trend is being driven by companies to enhance new product development, better organize product releases, lower market risk, and increase early fan adoption. Large companies such as Amazon and Apple are pre-tailing new products to measure demand, manage supply chain market dynamics, and monetize fandom anticipation.

Entrepreneurs and small companies are embracing crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo before product realization to fund manufacturing, test product-market fit, test market demand, pricing and take pre-orders to build a demand and fandom community. Consumer involvement with products and services pre-launch is becoming mainstream according to industry experts on consumer behavior trends.

Differencies with other forms of commerce
Pretail is related to a wide variety of business areas: from product innovation (concept & ideation) and supply chain management to marketing and sales. The aim of pretail is to build customer awareness and get sufficient financing to start product development. Pretail is future-oriented and is usually implemented using crowdfunding platforms, controlled media channels, mass media, and social networks.

Pretail as a competitive advantage

Evolution of consumer preferences
The tendency of consumers to increasingly value the experience associated with a process of purchasing gives rise to experiential buying - creating a memorable buying experience. Pretail provides a sense of belongingness that customers perceive as important. Crowdfunding platforms make consumers feel that they are part of a community that consists of people who are interested in the particular product or service. Consumers thus consider the product as "the first", "the newest", "the one that I helped launch". Pretail is gaining popularity as it satisfies the demand for novel products which are of high consumers` interest nowadays.

Market evaluation tool
Pretail allows innovators to test their product-market fit with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) equivalent. Thanks to pretailing risks associated with launching a product - financing and manufacturing are thus reduced. In addition to this, more people can participate in the project as investors or salesmen. By testing the demand for the project entrepreneurs can lower perceived and actual risks associated with launching a product and starting a company. By using pretail model companies can match supply and demand trends before they actually start producing a product. It is the framework that serves for connecting increasingly demanding consumers and entrepreneurs. However, using pretail model for launching does not guarantee success of the product or enterprise, not all pretailers become e-tailers. Some services and products never take off, while others receive strong indications of market demand, receive large volumes of pre-orders, and raise the capital needed for starting manufacturing. Those kinds of services or products are the ones that succeed to become e-tailers.

Supply chain and finance
Product development costs are pushed down, more and more people can start their own business, create goods, and provide services to broader audiences. By being able to measure demand before mass production is started allows companies to forecast financing needed and develop inventory policy more accurately.

Successful examples

Opal Nugget Ice Maker
Opal Nugget Ice Maker is a specialized ice maker which collected more than $2.7 million on the Indiegogo.

This ice maker freezes water in a special way. Rather than freezing the water directly, the ice maker scrapes flakes away from the cylinder, and through that process creates a lot of chewable ice nuggets. This type of ice making is often used in upscale cocktail bars or fast-food chains. However, machines used there are usually big and expensive. That is the reason why this project collected such a substantial amount of money.

Oculus Virtual Reality Headset
Oculus Headset is a virtual reality set that was initially started by Palmer Luckey as a side project. In 2014 the company was acquired by Facebook for $2 billion. One of the reasons for this acquisition was the apparent public interest in this type of technology which was shown two years earlier when the campaign on Kickstarter managed to raise a total of $2.4 million when the project was still in the prototype stage.

Glowforge Laser Marker, Engraver and Cutter
Glowforge laser marker, engraver and laser cutter has a successful and unique pretail story. Unlike many other projects, it attracted a substantial amount of capital without big platforms such as Kickstarter or Indiegogo. With a team of only 14 people, the company went from an unknown startup to a popular enterprise that raised $28 million during its self-run campaign.

Glowforge has been awarded three Make Editor’s Choice Awards at the World Maker Faire event in New York.

title: Gelegjamtsyn Ösökhbayar

text:
Gelegjamtsyn Ösökhbayar (also Gelegjamts Usukhbayar, ; born December 13, 1973, in Battsengel sum, Arkhangai aimag) is a retired amateur Mongolian freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's super heavyweight category. Considered one of Mongolia's top wrestlers in his decade, Gelegjamts has claimed a bronze medal at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand, picked up the 130-kg title at the 2001 Asian Wrestling Championships in Ulaanbaatar, and also represented his nation Mongolia at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Gelegjamts highlighted his sporting career at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand, where he grappled his way over Kazakhstan's Igor Klimov to fetch the bronze medal in the 130-kg division at 1–7. Though he missed a chance to compete the Olympics in 2000, Gelegjamts outclassed Iran's Alireza Rezaei in their final match to clinch his first ever gold in front of the home crowd at the 2001 Asian Wrestling Championships in Ulaanbaatar. Gelegjamts' sporting success continued to thrive at the World Championships and the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, but finished outside of medals.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Gelegjamts qualified for his first Mongolian squad, as a 30-year-old, in the men's 120 kg class. Earlier in the process, he received a berth and rounded out the tenth spot in the super heavyweight category from the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in New York City, New York, United States. He opened the prelim pool with a comfortable 7–0 victory over Belarus' Barys Hrynkevich, but fell to his Iranian rival and eventual Olympic silver medalist Alireza Rezaei in their rematch 0–3 in overtime. Gelegjamts was haplessly pinned by Bulgaria's Bozhidar Boyadzhiev on his third match within three minutes, dropping him to third in the pool and placing twelfth in the final standings.

title: William Hung (sinologist)

text:
William Hung (; October 27, 1893December 22, 1980), was a Chinese historian and sinologist who taught for many years at Yenching University, Peking, which was China's leading Christian university, and at  Harvard University. He is known for bringing modern standards of scholarship to the study of Chinese classical writings, for editing the Harvard-Yenching Index Series, and for his biography of Du Fu (Tu Fu), Tu Fu: China's Greatest Poet, which is considered a classic in the English world on the studies of Du Fu. He became a Christian while a student at the Anglo-Chinese College in Fuzhou, then went to  Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio, Columbia University, and Union Theological Seminary. On his return to China, he became Professor and Dean of Yenching University, where he was instrumental in establishing the Harvard-Yenching Institute. He came to Harvard in 1946 and spent the rest of his life in Cambridge, Massachusetts, teaching and mentoring students.

William Hung was the oldest of six children. His father gave him the "school name" Hong Ye ("Great Enterprise"), and then when he left for the United States he took the given name William. He married Rhoda Kong in 1919, and the couple had three children, Ruth, Gertrude, and Agnes.

Family and education
Hung was born on October 27, 1893, in Fuzhou. In 1901 Hung traveled with his family from Fuzhou to Shandong, where Hung's father was a county magistrate for the Qing government. He began his Confucian studies there at the age of four, but soon also began to read traditional novels. He entered the Shandong Teachers College after scoring number one on the entrance exam. He was awarded a monthly stipend of two taels of silver, but was forced to transfer to a Resident Guest School because the local Shandong students taunted him for his southern accent and resented the advantage of his head start in Confucian learning.

On his return to Fuzhou, he entered the Anglo-Chinese College, a Christian school run by Methodist missionaries. Christianity, however, had little initial appeal. Hung set out to persuade his fellow students this foreign doctrine was inferior to Confucian teachings by publicly comparing the "worst parts" of Christianity to the "best parts" of the Chinese classics. He escaped expulsion only when  the principal's wife, Elizabeth Gowdy, came to his defense. In response to Hung's request to return and help defend Confucianism against the foreigners, Hung's father returned to Fuzhou. When he visited the cemetery to pay respects to the family graves, he caught pneumonia and died. Hung was devastated. Mrs. Gowdy won him to Christianity when she explained she did not believe the concept popular among some Christians, namely good heathen men such as Hung's father would go to hell, or, for that matter, she was not sure there was such a place. The Bible, she argued, was like a feast at which you would choose which food that was healthy and attractive and which was not; in reading the Bible you should pay attention to the parts you found beneficial, not the contradictions and mistakes that had also accumulated over the centuries. Hung, who had also heard the liberal Sherwood Eddy preach, was converted to this liberal interpretation of the Christian message.

After graduating in 1916, Hung's knowledge of English and German gave him the choice of several jobs in government agencies dealing with foreigners, but a wealthy American wrote from St. Louis offering to pay for his study in the United States. The Fuzhou Methodist Bishop James Bashford recommended Hung enroll at the Ohio Wesleyan University, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1917. In 1919, Hung obtained a master's degree from Columbia University, where he studied under James Harvey Robinson, leader of the New History, and in 1920, a degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York.

In 1919, Hung, through their common work with the Chinese Students' Association and the Intercollegiate YMCA, met Rhoda Kong, who had left China at an early age and grown up in Hawaii. They soon married, and their two children, Gertrude and Ruth, were born in 1919 and 1921.

From 1921 to 1922, Hung served as Chinese Secretary for the Board of Foreign Missions of Methodist Episcopal Church giving more than one hundred lectures throughout the United States. Once, when he had finished his talk, a member of the audience told him that his speech was so exciting that should take this as a career. Hung was personable, funny and succinct and soon became a popular figure on the lecture circuit. In 1922, Hung taught at DePauw University, in Indiana as Horizon Lecturer, and In 1923 he became the Acting Head of the History Department of Yenching University.

While in the United States, Hung became a member of the New York City Civic Club, the Clergy Club, the China Institute, and Phi Beta Kappa. He also joined the American Historical Association and the Berlin  Gesellschaft for Kirchengeschichte (Church History Society).

Career at Yenching and the Harvard-Yenching Institute
Yenching University, which had opened in 1919, under the leadership of President John Leighton Stuart set out to become the leading Christian university in China. Hung was one of the first scholars trained in the West Stuart recruited. Hung joined Yenching in 1922 as a part-time lecturer in history, also serving as the Chinese pastor in a Methodist mission for students from Fujian in Peking. As he became a full-time instructor, then head of the department, and then Dean of the college his strong ambition was to make the History Department known for combining knowledge of classical Chinese sources with up to date training in western scholarship.  He announced his ambition to raise Yenching's academic quality and to "make it the peer of Peita" (Peking University).

The establishment of the Harvard-Yenching Institute was a major project for Hung and President Stuart. An American industrialist had bequeathed a substantial endowment for the support of Christian higher education in Asia, but Harvard had moved to use it to establish Chinese studies on its own campus, with a supporting program in Peking. Stuart and Hung were determined to make Yenching the home for the Chinese side of the new development though Harvard leaders were leaning toward Peking University on the assumption a Christian missionary university would be second rate. In the end, Harvard agreed to make Yenching their partner, but not before Hung helped to overcome a possible stumbling block. In 1925, a Yenching student named Wang came to Hung's campus residence late at night to report a matter of patriotic concern. The previous year Wang had acted as interpreter for Langdon Warner, a Harvard professor of art history who had been travelling on an exploratory trip to the cave libraries at Dunhuang. Wang had accidentally come across Warner experimenting with cheesecloth and glycerin to remove unique murals, and now Wang reported Warner had returned with a large supply of those materials. Knowing Warner was a key negotiator for Harvard and he was in secret talks with nearby Peking University, Hung instructed Wang to act as if nothing had happened, but also arranged with a colleague in the Ministry of Education to instruct every local official along the route that Warner was to be warmly welcomed, but never left alone at any historic site.

By 1927 Hung felt he could brag Yenching no longer had to "share the disgrace of inferior Chinese courses, a charge so frequently made against missionary education institutions." Yet, he resigned as Dean at the height of the Nationalist Party's drive to unite the country, partly because he came to feel he did not have enough time to know the students or faculty, and partly some students felt his methods were too rigid and Americanized. He suspected even President Stuart felt his discipline alienated students who were strong nationalists or communists, perhaps egged on by the older teachers of Chinese.

In 1928, as part of the new Institute's activities, Harvard University invited Hung to Cambridge, where he offered "The Far East Since 1793". Though it was taught in the Department of Far Eastern Languages, not the Department of History, it the first survey course of Chinese history to be taught at Harvard. The following year he returned to Yenching to resume his leadership of the Department of History and the Institute of Chinese Studies, and was in charge of Harvard-Yenching Institute grants.

Sinology and teaching in the 1930s
In the 1930s, Hung put his energies into training students and publishing his research. He often met with students at his campus home, which was built to his specifications with an entrance directly into his study, so as not to disturb his family. His bibliography lists more than forty publications after he left the Yenching administration. During his stay at Harvard, Hung had found the lack of bibliographies and indexes an obstacle to training students in Sinology. He determined to use scientific methods to establish reliable texts and create indexes to the most important classical works. Hung wrote introductions to the indexes which were in many cases the most thorough studies on the subject. The series eventually totaled sixty-four volumes. Hung won the 1937 Prix Stanislas Julien for the preface to the Liji index, becoming the second Chinese to receive this award. An even more ambitious project was the preface to the concordance  for the Spring and Autumn Annals, a work which Confucius had been credited with editing centuries after its composition. By showing solar eclipses in the text corresponded to modern calculations, Hung demonstrated the work was a true record of its time, not a later text. Hung finished work on the volume while Japanese war planes dropped their bombs only a few hundred yards from the Yenching campus.

Among the students Hung trained at Yenching in these years were many who went on to teach at American universities, including Kenneth K.S. Chen, Fang Chao-ying, Tu Lien-chieh, James T.C. Liu, and Teng Ssu-yu.

After the Japanese Army captured Peking in July 1937, Hung continued his sinological research under increasingly difficult circumstances. In 1940, at the age of  47, Hung published Index to Du Fu's Poetry. In 1940 Hung returned to Ohio Wesleyan to accept an honorary doctorate. In 1941, the Japanese Army occupied the Yenching campus. Hung and his colleagues secretly worked at the Sino-French University (中法大学, l'Université Franco-Chinoise) to publish several further volumes in the index series.

When war with the United States was declared in December 1941, the Japanese army arrested 12 Yenching University professors, including Hung. They were roughly interrogated, beaten, kept in unheated cells, and fed little. Although they were eventually released, they were not allowed to return to campus. Hung refused to cooperate with the Japanese.

After the war
After the Allied victory in August 1945, Hung returned to the devastated Yenching campus. He thought of going to the United States, first to catch up with scholarly developments and secondly to seek support for Yenching. Harvard University invited him to lecture and Hung left China in April 1946. The University of Hawaii hired him in the spring of 1947 as visiting professor. While he still intended to return to China, Civil War had broken out and the economy deteriorated sharply. That summer, he decided to move back to the Harvard–Yenching Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts and, with the outbreak of the Korean War, Hung completely abandoned the idea of returning to China.

The decision to give up home and Yenching University made him miserable but he felt his will has been exhausted. At the age of fifty, he had to find the courage to meet the challenges of an unknown world. In 1948, the Harvard-Yenching Institute made him a Fellow but did not give him a formal teaching position. Hung and his wife bought a house close by the university, and rented out rooms and collected meager social benefits to survive. While living abroad, Hung still longed for his homeland. He often told friends "I love America, I love the motherland, the motherland of my parents."

In 1952 Harvard University Press published his Tu Fu: China's Greatest Poet. Hung offered Du Fu classes and lectures at Harvard, Yale University, the University of Pittsburgh, University of Hawaii. He became Nanyang University of Singapore Board member in 1958.

Among the scholars he influenced with his teaching and attention were David Nivison and Joseph Fletcher. Francis Cleaves, whom he had met in China before the war, became a close friend in Cambridge. Every afternoon at three, the two would meet and have tea. Cleaves, a specialist in Mongolian, introduced Hung to The Secret History of the Mongols. Cleaves disagreed with the conclusions in Hung's article on the transmission of the text, but out of a sense of respect did not publish his own translation until after Hung's death.

Old age
Hung Ye lived in Cambridge and was actively involved in a prayer fellowship in New York. He also informally assisted Harvard East Asian Studies. Living abroad, he said looking back at his life: "In my life of scholarship, my method was the scientific method and I am completely confident that it was not wrong." At the age of 86, when he mounted the podium to lecture for the last time, he said "Now the 'Gang of Four' has been overthrown, there can be academic engagement with tradition."

In March 1980, Hung fell during his morning exercises, resulting in a fractured elbow, then physical deterioration. The night of December 16, Hung suffered sudden confusion, talking with the people around him in the Fuzhou dialect. On December 22, 1980, Hung died at the age of 87.

title: Patrick Geraghty

text:
Patrick Geraghty (February 4, 1843 - ?) was an American farmer and schoolteacher from Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin who spent a single one-year term as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from Sheboygan County.

Background
Geraghty was born in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland on February 4, 1843. He moved with his parents to Canada, later to Vermont and in 1849 to Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, and finally from there to the town of Rhine in 1851, where they settled. He received a common and high school education, and became a farmer and schoolteacher.

Public office
Geraghty was elected justice of the peace in 1866, and again in 1874; and was also clerk of his school district for three terms. He was elected to the second Sheboygan County Assembly district ( the Towns of Greenbush, Lyndon, Mitchell, Plymouth, Rhine and Russell) as a candidate of the Reform Party (a short-lived coalition of Democrats, reform and Liberal Republicans, and Grangers formed in 1873, which secured the election of a Governor of Wisconsin and a number of state legislators) in 1874, with 850 votes, to 781 for Republican N. C. Harmon, succeeding fellow Reformer Samuel D. Hubbard. He was assigned to the standing committee on education.

title: Cewydd

text:
Saint Cewydd was a pre-congregational saint of Wales in the Early Middle Ages (6th century). He is known as the Welsh 'Rain Saint', like Medard in France, Gildas in Brittany and Swithin in England. It would appear that a pre-Christian rain day might have been associated with a date in July, when, if it rained on that day, it was believed rain would continue for forty days.

Very little is known of his life due to the scarcity of records in the early Dark Ages in Wales. He is known mainly from churches associated with him, which are on Anglesey (Wales), Lancaut in Chepstow (Wales/England border), Cusop (Wales/England border), Kewstoke (Somerset, England), Steynton in Rhos (Pembrokeshire, Wales), Aberedw (Radnorshire, Wales], Disserth yn Elfael (Radnorshire, Wales), Llangewydd and Laleston (Bridgend, Wales), Capel Cewy, Mynachlogddu (Pembrokeshire, Wales).

Ecclesiastical records in the Book of Llandaff refer to a religious establishment of lann ceuid, probably at Lancaut, which is likely to have been established by 625AD and was recorded there by 703AD.

His feast day is 1 July, but South Wales tradition records 15 July as Dygwyl Cewydd – Feast of St Cewydd (originally 2 July before the Julian/Gregorian calendar change).

title: Quamby Estate

text:
Quamby Estate is a country homestead situated on 150 acres in Tasmania's Meander Valley. The estate is a Tasmanian historically important property and dates back to 1828. Quamby was the home of Sir Richard Dry, a premier of Tasmania and the first native-born premier and knight in any Australian colony. The property is now a commercial luxury lodge.

The estate features a white Anglo-Indian designed main homestead referred to as Tasmania's Government House of the North, a function pavilion and a golf course. It is situated near the historic township of Hagley.

History
Quamby Estate was the home of Sir Richard Dry and during his time as premier, Quamby Homestead became known as the "Government House of the North". Sir Richard Dry was born at Elphin Farm, Launceston, on 7 September 1815. His father, Richard Dry Senior had been transported to Tasmania as a political prisoner for his part in the Irish rebellion of 1804, but was granted his freedom in 1818.

When Dry (Senior) died in 1843 he left the Quamby Estate's  to his son. Portions of the land have been sold off over time; by 1963 the estate was reduced to . Quamby Estate's main house is a 33-room building in the American Colonial style, that was built over 10 years from 1828.

In adulthood Richard Jnr. married Clara Meredith. His parliamentary career began in 1845, when he was nominated to the non-elected Legislative Council by the governor, Sir John Eardley-Wilmot. In 1846, following a clash with the governor, Richard Dry and five other Legislative Councillors resigned their seats as a protest against what they considered the unconstitutional conduct of the governor. They were later reinstated by Queen Victoria.
In 1858, on a two-year visit to England, Queen Victoria bestowed on him a knighthood in honour of his outstanding service to the colony of Tasmania.

Sir Richard Dry had no heirs and just prior to his death in 1868 he had begun to shed the vast acreage of Quamby Estate. Sir Richard was buried beneath the chancery in the Church he founded, St Mary's at Hagley.

Soon after Lady Dry sold Quamby and sailed for England. At the time it was one of the most important land sales ever held in Tasmania.

Recognition
Quamby Estate is listed on both the now-defunct Register of the National Estate and the Tasmanian Heritage Register.

Current usage
Current owners and Virgin Australia founders Brett Godfrey and Rob Sherrard purchased Quamby Estate in 2010. They have also invested in several other tourism assets including the Tasmanian Walking Company, Lake House and Low Head in Tasmania. Brett Godfrey co owns Makepeace Island in Queensland with Sir Richard Branson. In 2011 Quamby Estate was fully restored to a lodge housing 10 guest rooms. Quamby Estate is also the base for Tasmanian Walking Companies' Bay of Fires and Cradle Mountain Huts Guided Walks

In the early 1990s, the lodge added a golf course, whose 8th hole is the longest par 5 in Tasmania at 576 metres. The Georgian Club House was built in the 1850s as original Estate Manager's office.

title: Johnny & Jones

text:
Johnny & Jones is the name of the Amsterdam jazz-duo Nol (Arnold Siméon) van Wesel (Johnny) (3 August 1918 – 15 April 1945) and Max (Salomon Meyer) Kannewasser (Jones) (24 September 1916 – 20 March 1945).

Van Wesel and Kannewasser worked together at the De Bijenkorf department store. In 1934 they were discovered while they were playing during a company party with the quartet The Bijko Rhythm Stompers. Two years later they quit their jobs and began performing under the name Johnny & Jones. Their biggest hit was "Mijnheer Dinges weet niet wat swing is" ("Mister Dingus doesn't know what swing is"). They made jazz music accompanied by the guitar, and their lyrics, invariably pronounced with an American accent, were characterized by humorous, topical parodies. Beginning in 1937 they were regularly played on the VARA-radio and became immensely popular.

Because they were Jews, during the German occupation, Johnny & Jones could only play for Jewish audiences, and after 1941 were not allowed to play at all. In 1943 they and their wives were arrested and sent to the Westerbork transit camp. In the camp they performed once under the name Jonny und Jones since in the revue only the German language was allowed. In 1944 they were sent on a day's work assignment from Westerbork to Amsterdam, during which they managed to clandestinely record the song "Westerbork Serenade". In the camp their job was to dismantle crashed warplanes.

On 4 September 1944 Van Wesel and Kannewasser were deported on one of the last transports from Westerbork to a series of concentration camps: Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, Ohrdruf and Bergen-Belsen. They died of exhaustion during the last days of the war in 1945, Johnny on 15 April, the day that the camp was liberated.

title: Alexandros Laliotis

text:
Alexandros Laliotis (; born September 10, 1972) is a retired amateur Greek freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's heavyweight category. Laliotis has been selected to the nation's Olympic wrestling team when Greece hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, and also trained for Iraklis Wrestling Club in Thessaloniki, under his personal coach Panagiotis Koutsopakis.

Laliotis qualified for the men's heavyweight class (96 kg), when Greece welcomed the world to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He filled up an entry by the International Federation of Association Wrestling and the Hellenic Olympic Committee, as Greece received an automatic berth for being the host nation. Amassed the home crowd inside Ano Liossia Olympic Hall, Laliotis opened the prelim pool with a shut out victory over China's Wang Yuanyuan by a tough 3–2 verdict, before losing in overtime of his succeeding match 1–4 to Slovakia's Peter Pecha. Placing third in the pool based on technical points and thirteenth overall, Laliotis failed to advance further into the medal rounds.

Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company was a streetcar and bus transit operator serving the region around Bridgeport, Norwalk, Derby, New Britain and Waterbury, Connecticut. It was formed in 1901 by United Gas Improvement Company of Philadelphia to manage the streetcar operations of the Connecticut Light and Power Company, which at the time included Central Railway and Electric Company, Norwalk Street Railway, and the Waterbury Traction Company. The newly formed Connecticut Railway and Lighting acquired Bridgeport Traction Company, Derby Street Railway, Milford Street Railway, Shelton Street Railway, Meriden, Southington and Compounce Tramway Company, and the Cheshire Street Railway. Connecticut Railway and Lighting was leased to the Consolidated Railway and in turn the Connecticut Company between 1906 and 1936. Streetcar operations were discontinued in 1937 when all lines were converted to bus. Transit operations continued until 1972, when all remaining bus operations were suspended and taken over by Connecticut Transit, except in Bridgeport- by the Greater Bridgeport Transit District in 1975.

Early history (1895–1906)
Founded in 1895 was the Gas Supply Company, it was authorized by legislature to manufacture and distribute gas fuel throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut. The name of the Gas Supply Company was changed in 1899 to Connecticut Lighting and Power Company, and its authority expanded to generating and distributing electricity. In 1901, the name was changed to Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company. A number of streetcar and electric utility companies were acquired during the intervening years, building up a large system in the Naugatuck Valley and surrounding region. All of the property controlled by CR&L was leased to the Consolidated Railway in 1906, which in turn was leased to the Connecticut Company.

Connecticut Company control (1906–1936)
In 1906 the CR&L streetcar lines were leased to the Connecticut Company, a subsidiary of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad created to control and operate the majority of electric trolley lines across the state. When the New Haven entered receivership, the Connecticut Company leases were cancelled in 1936 for lack of payment.

CR&L Lines (1936–1972)
Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company resumed independent operation of its lines in 1936, but worked quickly to convert the remaining streetcar lines to bus operation by 1937. Stockholders wished to get out of the transit business, and so those operations were sold off in 1943. A number of under-performing bus routes were discontinued over the years until all service was suspended in 1972. The transit franchises were succeeded by Connecticut Transit, except in Bridgeport by the Greater Bridgeport Transportation Authority after its formation in 1975. Between 1972 and 1975, remaining local bus routes in Bridgeport were taken over fully or in part by CR&L's competing smaller bus companies: Gray Line, Chestnut Hill, Bridgeport Auto Transit, and Stratford Bus Line. A former Milford CT school and charter bus company- Cross Country Coach, purchased a few of CR & L's older buses to operate a regional route between Norwalk, Bridgeport, and New Haven. This was a restoration of two former CR & L routes, which commenced in 1973 and continued until Cross Country Coach ceased operations in the early 1980s.

title: The Bollands

text:
The Bollands are a 2-piece folk music band originally from New Zealand.

Background

Formation
The Bollands were founded by Christian and Joyce Bolland; a husband-and-wife duo from New Zealand. Joyce's background was mostly related to the classical arts, such as classical piano and dance. Contrastly, Christian was raised in a less formal environment, having grown up travelling around New Zealand in his family's house truck. Christian Bolland is the main songwriter of the group, and was part of a Christian cult for around five years, and cites this as a strong influence on the music that he writes

In 2007, Christian and Joyce moved to Taiwan, and after returning to New Zealand for a time, they decided to return to Asia, this time to Hong Kong. The Bollands first began playing through The Wanch, a local live music bar in Wan Chai, as well as The Underground. Since their arrival, The Bollands have become a mainstay of the local indie music scene, performing at numerous music showcases and festivals. In 2012, The Bollands were featured on the government-run RTHK programs '藝坊星期天' (Art Square Sunday) in 2012.

The Bollands also played at the Spring Scream Festival in Kenting, Taiwan, in 2012 and Cloceknflap (Hong Kong), Zandari Festa (South Korea), Mu:Con (South Korea), Booshkabash (China), The Auckland Folk Festival (New Zealand). They have also toured Asia, The USA and New Zealand extensively.

First Album
The Bollands first, self-titled, album was a collection of songs that they had written in the two or three years previous, which they had played in bars and at music festivals around Asia and New Zealand. In April, 2013, The Bollands went on tour through Taiwan.

Paper Houses
During the production of their second album, Paper Houses, drummer Paul Maclean (who is also the drummer for the Hong Kong metal band DP) joined the band. Paper Houses was launched in June, 2014 at a public event held at Hidden Agenda. After the release of Paper Houses, The Bollands continued to tour around Asia.

All Of My Ghosts
The band's third album was recorded in Auckland, New Zealand in May 2016 at Lab Studios. It will be released in February 2017 under New Zealand & Berlin based record label, Money Records.

title: WZ-122 main battle tank

text:
The WZ-122 () was a main battle tank developed by the People's Republic of China. With its development starting in March 1970, the WZ-122 would implement several experimental technologies, including hydromatic transmission system, hydropneumatic suspension and the world's first 120mm smoothbore gun, as an effort to develop China's first indigenous second-generation main battle tank. After several prototypes were built, the plan was largely abandoned in 1974.

The development was reinstated in 1977 and into the 1980s with several prototypes such as the WZ-1224 and WZ-1226. Most of the prototypes were not accepted into production due to reliability and technology issues (with the exception of Type 80), still, WZ-122 project provided a technological basis for the development of various later Chinese vehicles, such as China's own third-generation main battle tank, the ZTZ-96 and ZTZ-99.

History
After the Zhenbao Island incident (:zh:珍寶島事件) in 1969, PRC leaders decided on the necessity to develop new second-generation tank models. These new tanks included WZ-132, WZ-121 (Type 69) and WZ-122, development of which commenced in March 1970.

Early prototypes

The first prototype, designated WZ-122A, was finished on 25 September 1970. This tank is largely based on Soviet designs in terms of external shape but with a different suspension and main gun. The tank utilized a hydromatic transmission system, hydropneumatic suspension, and hydraulic assisted power steering, nicknamed the "three liquid" system. The technical indicators of the WZ-122 also featured an NBC protection system, four anti-tank missiles mounted on the sides of the turret, and an advanced target acquisition system including a laser rangefinder, night vision devices, and a ballistic computer. It was also mounted with a Chinese-developed 120mm smoothbore gun, which was the world's first 120mm tank gun. However, in the following tests in 1970, the "three liquid" system proved very unreliable, especially the complicated hydraulic transmission and assisted power steering systems. On October 5, 1970, the Fifth Machine Industry Ministry and various other military apparatuses deemed the various tanks developed during this period (WZ-122, WZ-132, etc.) impractical and unreliable, and thus lowered the unattainable technical expectations to a still somewhat high but realistic level. In January 1971, another prototype was finished. Commonly known as the WZ-1222 or WZ-122B, this prototype used many mature parts and proven technology, such as using to a more conservative "three mechanical" system consisting of a torsion bar suspension, mechanical transmission, and mechanical steering. However, many issues were still found during the test, which led to a temporary abandonment of the design.

WZ-1223
Another design, known as the WZ-1223, incorporated western technology into a more traditional layout similar to the Type 59. According to one source, this prototype would eventually develop into the Type 80 Main Battle Tank, but according to the other source used for this article, this role belonged to the fifth prototype, the most conservative design of all six prototypes, and the initial design of the later Type 80.

WZ-1224
The WZ-1224, designed throughout the late 1970s, is a Chinese attempt to design a western-style main battle tank (MBT). In the 1970s, China had the opportunity to send military officials to visit KraussMaffei, the main producer of the Leopard 2. Chinese officers seemed interested in the Leopard 2, especially its mobility, but the People's Liberation Army was unable to procure the tank or the license to produce it due to financial strain and possible maintenance problems. Due to this, the PLA decided to start the development of new tanks with western technical support to lower production and maintenance costs. In August 1978, a Fifth Machine Industry Ministry conference in Datong, Shanxi deemed a new main battle tank necessary to combat the Soviet T-72, one of the most advanced tanks of its time. The conference resulted in a new tank project with specifications including a mass of 43-45 tonnes, a 120mm smoothbore gun that is capable of penetrating the frontal armor of the T-72 in the range of 2000 meters, a new 900-1000hp engine, giving the tank a hypothetical top speed of 65km/h and an average speed of 45km/h, as well as an NBC protection system and a fire extinguishing system. Finally, due to China's lack of heavy duty road infrastructure and bridgelaying vehicles, the new tank is required to have deep fording abilities.

With the first prototype produced in 1978, the WZ-1224 is a completely different project from its predecessors, completely ditching Soviet influences in armor design and opting for a western-style welded turret. It also has six smaller road wheels on each side, similar to contemporary American, German, and French tanks. This tank also placed its ammunition rack in a separate compartment, similar to western tanks. There were also plans to develop a 17-round autoloader, but they were later abandoned due to reliability issues. For power, the WZ-1224 utilized an MTU MB8V331 TC41 engine, a German on-the-shelf civilian product, and indigenous torque and two-plate planetary gear system from Factory 617.

The torsion bar suspension and transmission of this tank are also mostly imported from Germany. The WZ-1224 later conducted tests with the domestic 12150ZL V12 engine developed by Factory 616 with an output of approximately 987hp. Another planned engine of the WZ-1224 was a new 8V150 engine made by Factory 636. However, the latter option was canceled due to the 60-degree angle between the cylinders (instead of the 90° angle used by most tank engines) and other design problems related to this placement causing disrupt rotational balance, resulting in excessive vibration, obstructing the engine from acceleration beyond a certain speed. There are also two large fans installed on top of the engine compartment due to the unsatisfactory cooling system of the MB8V331. The engine compartment was also visibly elevated to fit the large size of the engine. During the spring of 1977, the Fifth Machine Industry Ministry began work on reverse engineering the Rheinmetall Rh-120 smoothbore gun with possible technical assistance from Germany. The new tank gun's first firing test was conducted on February 29, 1979, in which it reached the muzzle velocity of approximately 1700m/s, and in the following test, penetrated a 204mm plate with a 68 degrees slope with a muzzle velocity of 1411.2m/s. After the completion of this vehicle in 1979, tests were conducted from March until the end of the year, during which most components of the vehicle proved reliable, but overheating problems occurred due to the engine cooling system, which suited the civilian MB8V331 well, did not cool the 12150ZL to a sufficient level due to the latter being larger and having more output. Generally, the vehicle proved satisfactory but not necessarily excellent, according to both sources, so the Fifth Machine Industry Ministry moved on to creating a new prototype.

WZ-1226
The result of the formerly mentioned development on the WZ-1224 is the WZ-1226, a more conservative design with a round cast turret and more domestically produced parts. There are two tanks in this prototype stage: the WZ-1226 and the WZ-1226F2; the two tanks have no visible difference. The only significant difference is that the former used an 8V165 engine produced by Factory 636. The latter used an improved version of the 12150ZL engine produced by Factory 616. Both tanks used a hydraulic automatic gearbox with four forward gears and one reverse, developed by Factory 617, combining the transmission and engine into a single modular power pack that is easily replaceable and removable. The prototypes also replaced the torsion bar suspension with a combined suspension utilizing both torsion bar and hydro-pneumatic systems similar to the suspension on the Japanese Type 74 Main Battle Tank. Combined with the hydraulic-assisted power steering, the "three-liquid" technical expectation was realized on the WZ-1226, more than ten years after the original WZ-122 prototype. The tanks inherited the 120mm smoothbore gun from the WZ-1224 but simplified the loading mechanism to a semi-automatic loader. The WZ-1226 prototypes also featured composite armor. The prototypes were tested from 1981 to 1982, with satisfactory results. However, due to the unreliability of the transmission as well as the low durability of some parts, the tank was set aside by the PLA with some technologies proven by the tank used by other vehicles, such as the PTZ-89 tank destroyer, using a modified version of the gun on the WZ-122 series. The project also provided the Chinese military industry with experience in producing a modern main battle tank, which would prove valuable in the development of Chinese third-generation MBTs.

Variants
WZ-122A The first prototype in Project 122. Fitted with indigenously developed hydromatic transmission system, hydropneumatic suspension, and hydraulic assisted power steering, NBC protection system, four anti-tank missiles mounted on the sides of the turret, 120mm smoothbore gun, and an advanced fire control system. Nicknamed the "three liquid" prototype.
WZ-122B The second prototype in Project 122 with firepower comparable to the WZ-122A, but the driving train was replaced by all mechanical systems. Nicknamed the "three mechanical" prototype.
WZ-1223 Based on Type 59 tank with imported Western technologies.
WZ-1224 Prototype tank based on Western design philosophies.
WZ-1226 A more conservatively designed prototype based on WZ-1224.

title: Tylopilus griseocarneus

text:
Tylopilus griseocarneus is a fungus of the family Boletaceae. Described as new to science in 1989, it is found in the coastal plains of southern New Jersey and southern Louisiana in the United States, where it grows in sandy soil under oak and pine trees. Its fruit bodies have a convex, pale charcoal-colored cap measuring  and  thick.
