title: Susan Gerbic

text:
Susan Gerbic (born 1962) is an American studio photographer who became known as a scientific skepticism activist, mostly for exposing people claiming to be mediums. A columnist for Skeptical Inquirer, she is the co-founder of Monterey County Skeptics and a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.

Early life and education
The youngest of three children, Gerbic was raised as a Southern Baptist in Salinas, California. Her father was born in 1918 in Euclid, Ohio, to parents from Slovenia; he served during World War II and after the war went to live in Salinas. Gerbic attended Fremont Elementary, El Sausal Junior High School, and Alisal High School in Salinas, graduating in 1980. She became an atheist in her junior year. After high school, she studied at Hartnell College, also in Salinas, obtaining AAs in general studies in 1993 and history in 1998, while working and raising two sons. In 2002, she was awarded a BA in Social & Behavioral Studies by California State University, Monterey Bay.

Career and activism

Photography
Gerbic worked at Lifetouch, a portrait studio in JC Penney in the Northridge Mall in Salinas, from 1982 for 34 years, including as manager. She retired in 2016 when the studio closed.

Guerrilla Skeptics

Gerbic first read Skeptical Inquirer when she was 33, and in 2000, she attended the Skeptic's Toolbox workshop in Eugene, Oregon. In 2009, she went to Mexico on an "Amazing Adventure" cruise organized by the Canadian stage magician and skeptic James Randi; according to the New York Times, Randi used a MacArthur grant to fund "annual ship cruises filled with skeptics".

Much of Gerbic's activism has consisted of organizing sting operations against people claiming to be mediums. She and a group of volunteers calling themselves "Guerrilla Skeptics" would set up fake Facebook profiles, then visit mediums claiming to be receiving messages from the subjects of the profiles. Gerbic's team would record the session and post the evidence online.

In 2010, Gerbic founded "Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia" (GSoW), a group of editors who create and improve Wikipedia articles that reflect scientific skepticism. The New York Times Magazine reported in February 2019, in an interview with Gerbic, that GSoW had 144 editors who had worked on nearly 900 Wikipedia pages.

Awards and honors
 "In the Trenches" award at the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry's 2012 Skeptic's Toolbox workshop
 "James Randi Award for Skepticism in the Public Interest" at The Amaz!ng Meeting 2013
 2017 Award from James Randi Educational Foundation (shared with "her team of 'guerrilla skeptics'")
 Appointed fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, February 2018
 2019 Balles Award for Critical Thinking, Center for Inquiry
 2022 National Capital Area Skeptics Philip J. Klass Award for outstanding contributions in critical thinking and scientific understanding

Personal life
Gerbic married Robert Forsyth in 1983. The couple had two sons, and the marriage ended in 2002. As of August 2018, Gerbic was in a relationship with the mentalist Mark Edward. They met in 2009 on one of James Randi's skeptics' cruises to Mexico; Edward was working on the ship as part of the entertainment.

In 2013, Gerbic discovered she had breast cancer after she and a colleague at Lifetouch studios scheduled mammograms in response to Angelina Jolie undergoing a preventive mastectomy. By December that year, Gerbic had completed 20 weeks of chemotherapy for stage II cancer and, by March 2014, 33 radiation treatments. Gerbic continued to work throughout the treatment, and her follow-up mammogram revealed no cancer. She said the experience had made her tougher.

title: Barrage (Paul Bley album)

text:
Barrage is the fifth album led by jazz pianist Paul Bley. The album was recorded by Bley's quintet in 1964, released by ESP-Disk, and features saxophonist Marshall Allen in a rare appearance outside the band of Sun Ra.

Reception

Allmusic gave the album four stars, calling it "a lost free jazz classic". Reviewing the 2009 re-release, All About Jazz stated "Barrage is a gem from the ESP-Disk archives; an important document in the progress of contemporary music, as fresh today as the day it was first performed" The Penguin Guide to Jazz said, "much of the interest in the album, which like its successor consists entirely of Carla Bley tunes, is in hearing Johnson and Allen in a small group context. The music is fairly hard-edged and the presence of two such confrontational players (the trumpeter was to appear on Coltrane's Ascension) gives the set an uncomfortable fiery complexion that tends to singe away its more subtle moments".

 "Batterie" - 4:19

title: Brewmeister Brewery

text:
Keith Brewery LTD is a Scottish brewery based in Keith, Moray, formerly known as Brewmeister. It was founded in 2012, and has subsequently grown to export worldwide.

Company history
The brewery began life on a farm in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire with a student loan. The first beer produced was Armageddon, which the company claimed in press releases was the world's strongest beer at 65% alcohol by volume (ABV). Some batches of the beer were incorrectly manufactured to a strength of 15.2% ABV.

In 2013, Brewmeister replaced Armageddon with a stronger beer called Snake Venom claiming 67.5% ABV, and put a warning label on the bottle advising consumers to only drink one per sitting. It retailed at £50 for a 275ml bottle. Brewmeister claimed that the beer "tastes like a liquor and has a whole host of different flavours, ranging from bubblegum to caramel." However, Guinness Book of Records still consider the strongest beer ever sold the Brewdog's "The End of History" with 55% ABV.

In March 2014, the company announced they would move to new facilities at the Isla Bank Mills in Keith and quadruple beer production while in May of the same year, the company won the BQ Scottish Business Award for Export. Richard Lochhead, Member of the Scottish Parliament for Keith, said that the move would be "a successful addition to Moray's strong food and drinks sector." The brewery currently employs 13 people.

Production
The strength of the beer comes from fractional freezing, which involves cooling the beer to a low temperature to the point where water freezes but alcohol does not. The ice is then removed, leaving a higher percentage of alcohol behind. The company claims to use natural spring water for brewing and claims to use unusual ingredients in their beers. In 2014, they announced that 90% of their product was being exported.

Controversy

In 2014 the Advertising Standards Agency censured Brewmeister for misleading advertising, stating that it was possibly ethyl alcohol that had been added to Snake Venom to reach the desired ABV of 67.5%.

Investment
In 2014, Brewmeister re-launched following the formation of a Board of Directors which came about after Brewmeister was partially bought by a syndicate of Scottish business figures. This included Scott Carnegie, a former Chairman of Dundee United Football Club. Brewmeister also received investment from Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Investment Bank. Scottish Enterprise are also holders of shares in the company.

title: Flint River Place

text:
Flint River Place (also known as the Moore-Jordan-Busbin Mansion) is a historic residence near Huntsville, Alabama.  The house was built between 1844 and 1850 by Daniel Friend, a planter who came to Alabama from Kentucky around 1826.  The house is Greek Revival in style, with Federal and Georgian Revival elements.  It began as an L-shaped house, with an additional ell and one-story shed roofed infill built in 1930.  The house is clad in poplar siding and the gable roof was originally slate over wooden shingles, but has been replaced by asphalt shingles.  Two gable-end chimneys have simple, Federal-style mantels.  The façade is three bays, with a one-story portico supported by four columns, with a balcony above; it replaced a gable-roofed, two-column portico in 1978.  The main entrance is flanked by sidelights and topped with a fanlight.  Windows on the entire house, except for the southeast bedroom addition, are six-over-nine sashes.  The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1981 and National Register of Historic Places in 1982.  The house was heavily damaged in a fire in 2012.

title: Ban 1080 Party

text:
The Ban 1080 Party was a political party in New Zealand that opposed the use of sodium fluoroacetate (1080) poison, which is widely used in New Zealand for controlling mammalian pests such as possums and rats. The party was founded in 2014 by Bill Wallace and its co-leaders were Bill Wallace and Mike Downard. The party was registered by the Electoral Commission in 2014 and deregistered in February 2018.

Policies
The Ban 1080 Party's stated policy was "to develop a pathway to a solution that includes the following elements:
 To immediately stop the Department of Conservation's controlled aerial 1080 poison programme.
 To develop a science-based, measurable programme that includes
 Species specific protection plans,
 Targeted pest control, using people not poison,
 Community conservation involvement.
 To protect all waterways by ensuring no future aerial poison drops."

The party considered that the Department of Conservation "has an important task in working to protect and preserve our natural environment", but believes that aerial 1080 drops harm native species and are ineffective at controlling rat and stoat populations.

History

2014 general election
Wallace founded the party in 2014. It applied for registration with the Electoral Commission in mid-2014 and was approved on 8 August. On 19 August 2014, the party announced a party list of nine candidates for the 2014 general election, of which five were also electorate candidates.

The party received 0.21% of the party vote (4,368), below the 5% threshold, and did not win any electorates, so did not win any seats in Parliament. Of the electoral candidates, the most successful was Pete Salter, who stood in the West Coast-Tasman electorate. He received 2,318 electoral votes, which was 6.5% of electoral votes cast and placed him fourth.

2017 general election
The party nominated nine list candidates, including three electorate candidates, for the 2017 general election. Salter ran for the West Coast-Tasman seat again. The party gained only 0.12% of the party vote (3,005) and failed to win any seats in the New Zealand House of Representatives.

Deregistration
The party was deregistered by the Electoral Commission at its own request on 28 February 2018.

title: 2014 San Diego elections

text:
Municipal elections were held in San Diego in 2014 for city council and propositions. The primary election was held on June 3, 2014, and the general election was held on November 4, 2014. Four of the nine seats of the San Diego City Council were contested. Two city council incumbents ran for re-election in their same district and one ran for election in a new district due to redistricting.

Municipal elections in California are officially non-partisan, although most members do identify a party preference. A two-round system was used for the election, starting with a primary in June followed by a runoff in November between the top-two candidates if no candidate received a majority of the votes in the first round.

City Council

The 2014 election was the second to use the new districts created by the 2010 Redistricting Commission. It was the first time that even-numbered districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 were up for election using the new boundaries.

Incumbents Myrtle Cole (District 4) and David Alvarez (District 8) won re-election by getting more than 50% in the June primary. Lorie Zapf (District 2) was also re-elected in the June primary, but in a different district then the one she previously represented due to redistricting. Chris Cate and Carol Kim were the top two vote-getters in the primary for the open seat in District 6. Cate was elected with a majority of the vote in the November 2014 general election.

The primary victories by Cole and Alvarez ensured that self-identified Democrats would continue to control at least a five-seat majority on the City Council. However, the District 6 general election race left open the question of whether or not they would also continue to control a six-seat two-thirds supermajority of the city council, allowing them to overrule a mayoral veto by Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer on issues that split along party lines. Cate ultimately won the district 6 runoff, denying the self-identified democrats a supermajority.

District 2
On March 3, 2014, Kevin Faulconer resigned from the City Council to assume the office of Mayor of San Diego, having won the special election to replace Bob Filner. This created a vacancy in District 2. Because the vacancy occurred with less than a year left in Faulconer's term, the vacancy was filled by a City Council appointment per the City Charter.  On April 7, 2014, the San Diego City Council voted 5-3 on a second ballot to appoint Ed Harris, head of the city's lifeguard's union, to serve the balance of Faulconer's term. Per the City Charter, Harris was ineligible to run for reelection in 2014.

District 2 consisted of the communities of Bay Ho/Bay Park/Morena, Midway/North Bay, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, and Point Loma. Incumbent council member Ed Harris, who had been appointed to finish the balance of Kevin Faulconer's term, was ineligible to run for reelection. Lorie Zapf, who had been serving as the council member representing District 6, was forced to run in District 2 due to a 2010 redistricting. Zapf was elected with a majority of the votes in the June primary.

District 4
District 4 consisted of the communities of Alta Vista, Broadway Heights, Chollas View, Emerald Hills, Encanto, Greater Skyline Hills, Jamacha, Lincoln Park, Lomita Village, North Bay Terrace, Oak Park, O'Farrell, Paradise Hills, Redwood Village, Rolando Park,  South Bay Terrace, Valencia Park, and Webster. Incumbent council member Myrtle Cole was reelected with a majority of the vote in June primary.

District 6
District 6 consisted of the communities of Clairemont Mesa, Kearny Mesa, Mira Mesa, Mission Valley, North Clairemont, and Rancho Peñasquitos. Incumbent council member Lorie Zapf shifted from District 6 to District 2 due to the 2010 redistricting. Chris Cate and Carol Kim received the most votes in the June primary. Since no candidate won a majority, a runoff was held in November to determine the winner. Cate won a majority in the runoff and was elected to the City Council.

District 8
District 8 consisted of the southern communities of San Diego and those along the Mexico–United States border, including the communities of Barrio Logan, Egger Highlands, Grant Hill, Logan Heights, Memorial, Nestor, Ocean View Hills, Otay Mesa West, Otay Mesa East, San Ysidro, Sherman Heights, Stockton, and Tijuana River Valley. Incumbent council member David Alvarez was elected after receiving a majority of the votes in the June primary.

Council President
On December 10, 2014, the new council was sworn in. For their first action, the council voted 4–5 on a motion of whether to reappoint Todd Gloria as council president, with Sherri Lightner joining the four council republicans to defeat the measure. The council then successfully voted to appoint Lightner as the council president with a vote of 7–2, with only Gloria and David Alvarez in opposition.

title: I Will Fail You

text:
"I Will Fail You" is the third single by American Christian metal band Demon Hunter from their seventh studio album, Extremist. The song is the band's most commercially successful single to date.

About
Vocalist Ryan Clark has said the song is about the scrutiny the band faces, and how they aren't "holy enough" for some people, no matter how much they express their beliefs.

Music video
The song's music video begins with vocalist Ryan Clark standing on the side of the road, looking distraught. As the song begins, he gets in the car and begins to sing the song's lyrics while driving. After the first chorus, it begins to rain. During the second chorus, the rain stops and Clark lights a cigarette, while still driving; after a while he takes some pills to keep him awake. Near the song's end, he starts to fall asleep and the video cuts to someone who has been tied up and gagged. As Clark falls asleep, the video pans out to reveal the person is sitting in the car next to him. As the video ends, the headlights of an oncoming car can be seen as the other man starts to panic.

The video was directed by photographer Caleb Kuhl.

Reception
Greg Kennelty of Metal Injection compared Clark's vocals to that of the late David Gold of Woods of Ypres. Kennelty said the pitch correction is noticeable, but overall declared the song to be good. Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks compared the song negatively to post-grunge band Staind.

title: Jeremiah Hart House

text:
The Jeremiah Hart House is a historic house at The Hill in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Probably built in the late 18th century, it is a well-preserved example of a late Georgian urban residential structure. It was originally located on Deer Street, and was moved as part of a road widening project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

Description and history
The Jeremiah Hart House stands in The Hill, a cluster of closely spaced historic houses bounded on the north by Deer Street and the east by High Street at the northern edge of downtown Portsmouth. This grouping was created by a road widening project from houses originally located on or near Deer Street. This house stands near the center of the group, east of the Phoebe Hart House and north of the Hart-Rice House. It is a 2½ story wood-frame structure, with a side gable roof, clapboarded exterior, and central chimney. Its main facade is four bays wide, with asymmetrical placement of windows around a centered entrance. The entrance is the most elaborate element of the exterior, with pilasters, a transom window, entablature, and full gabled pediment. The interior of the building has a number of original features, including a narrow three-run staircase in the entrance vestibule.

This house was originally located on Deer Street, set on a narrow lot with its side facing the street. From its style it dates to the last quarter of the 18th century, and may have been built by Michael Whidden, a master builder who lived across the street from its original location. (Whidden's House was also moved onto The Hill.)

title: Xploration Station

text:
Xploration Station is an American syndicated programming block that is programmed by Steve Rotfeld Productions, distributed by Fox, and debuted on September 13, 2014. It airs weekends (typically on Saturday mornings), primarily on Fox-affiliated stations. Aimed towards teenagers, the block consists of six half-hour shows focusing on the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. All of the programs in the three-hour block are produced to meet federally mandated educational programming guidelines. Boat Rocker Rights owns the shows' international rights.

History
On December 17, 2013, Steve Rotfeld Productions announced that it would launch a two-hour syndicated block of live-action educational programs under the working title Xploration Nation, with Fox Television Stations and Tribune Broadcasting initially set to carry the block across their respective Fox owned-and-operated and affiliated stations. The block, aimed towards teenagers between 13 and 16 years of age, features programs focused on the STEM fields – such as marine biology, astronomy, and animal science. Production on one of the four shows, Xploration Outer Space, began in April 2014. The block, by then renamed Xploration Station, premiered on September 13, 2014.

On Fox owned and operated stations, Xploration Station replaced Weekend Marketplace, a two-hour block of infomercials first introduced in January 2009 following the discontinuation of 4Kids TV due to conflicts between Fox and the block's programmer 4Kids Entertainment.

On January 20, 2015, Fox Television Stations renewed the block for the group's Fox owned-and-operated stations through 2017.
The block was made available worldwide with the pick up of non-US distribution by Boat Rocker Rights in February 2016.

One of the more notable holdouts for Xploration Station in its first two seasons was Fox's largest affiliate group, Sinclair Broadcast Group. In September 2016, Sinclair began to carry Xploration Station on their Fox stations and two other Sinclair stations associated with a netlet under a five-year agreement with Steve Rotfeld Productions.

Starting in 2016, Xploration Station expanded its programming block to three hours.

title: Highland Heights, Memphis

text:
Highland Heights (also sometimes known as Mitchell Heights) is a neighborhood in Memphis, Tennessee which grew up around the intersection of National Street and Summer Avenue. At its beginning, it was in the county as a rural community, east of the Memphis city limits.

The land of the John Pope family cotton plantation was subdivided after the death in 1865 of the pater familias. John was the son of Leroy Pope, founder of Huntsville, Alabama, also a planter, and Yale-educated. He practiced law before settling down to raise cotton and his children. He informed himself of the latest innovations in cotton cultivation, maximizing yields and winning awards. When Memphis Confederates surrendered to the invading Union Army, John had harvested a record crop, which he promptly burned to prevent any benefit or succor to the enemy.

To respond to the expansion of Memphis to the east, Shelby County bought several parcels to form the first "work farm" (penal farm), insane asylum and poor house.  The simple, identical houses constructed for these purposes are still evident on Pope Street and Lamphier Avenue.

The intersection at National Street and Summer Avenue is where the Raleigh Springs Electric Railway line of the trolley system turned north toward Raleigh.  The original light rail line was financed by B.I. Duke, one of the North Carolina tobacco Dukes (Duke University, Duke Power & Light).  He owned "the largest and finest" of the hotels in the renowned spa/resort of Raleigh Springs, and was insuring ready access by Memphis businessmen who would install for their families in Raleigh for the summer.

The first school of Highland Heights was formed in a hotel near this same intersection on the property which currently holds Highland Heights Baptist Church and school.  National is a street divided by a grassy median, once the location of the streetcar tracks.  This particular line in the tram system is significant because it carried business owners downtown to work from Raleigh Springs, where they would install their families for the summer, commuting by rail to their downtown businesses. In 1929, The Heights were annexed into the city, with an area of 4.13 square miles and its population grew to 12,000.

When the Highland Heights Elementary and High School were built, the 3 acres were donated by A.B. Treadwell and family in 1915.  In 1939, the schools were renamed in his honor.  The first class graduated Treadwell High School in 1942.

The term "the Heights," in this context, refers to Highland Heights, Grahamwood Heights, and Mitchell Heights of Memphis, Tennessee.  There are other neighborhoods in Memphis which incorporate the word 'heights' in their name.  These three are contiguous.  Their newsletter is also titled 'The Heights.'  Highland Heights includes the area bounded by Summer Avenue (also known as U.S. Highways 70 & 79, and formerly known as the Nashville Highway) on the south, Pope Street on the west, Macon Road on the north, and Homer Street on the east.  Residents of the Nutbush neighborhood have been known to claim an eastern portion of this, up to Highland Street, as part of Nutbush. Mitchell Heights advocates claim all of this, and more, west to Tillman Street, as part of Mitchell Heights.  Neighborhood-naming in Memphis is not an exact science.

title: Clement D. Child

text:
Clement D. Child (1868 – 1933) was an American physicist and educator.  He is noted particularly for "Child's law" (1911), which is an equation that describes the electric current that flows between the plates of a vacuum tube. Vacuum tubes were the main components in electronics from about 1905 to 1960, when transistors and integrated circuits mostly supplanted them. Child's Law is still a staple of textbooks treating charged particle motion in vacuum and in solids.

Child was raised in Frewsburg, New York, where his father was a Baptist pastor. He received an A. B. degree from the University of Rochester (in Rochester, New York) in 1890. In 1897, he received a Ph.D. from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. In 1897 he was a scientific visitor at the University of Berlin in Germany. In 1898 he was appointed a professor of physics at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, where he spent the rest of his career. In 1907–08 he was a visitor to the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, where he worked with J. J. Thomson. He published a book Electric Arcs in 1913. Between 1895 and 1933 Child published 28 papers in Physical Review, which was perhaps the principal US physics journal in that era.

The equation known as "Child's Law" describes the electric current between two metal plates in a vacuum tube; the current flows when a power supply applies a voltage between the plates. One plate, the cathode, is heated hot enough that it will emit electrons well. The second plate, the anode, is unheated. When the voltage between the anode and the cathode is positive, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the anode. They fly through the vacuum, and are registered as the electric current drawn from the power supply. When the voltage is negative, the electrons are repelled by the anode, and the current is essentially zero. Child's law predicted the current at lower positive voltages, at which the current isn't limited by the electron emission process. Rather, a cloud of electrons forms near the cathode and limits the current. Child showed that this current was proportional to the voltage raised to 3/2 power (V3/2). The current only depends on the properties of the electron through the ratio of the electrical charge of the electron to its mass.

Although Child's Law is usually used to describe electron currents, Child actually derived the equation in order to estimate the current of positively charged atomic ions. The only change is that charge to mass ratios for ions are much smaller than for the electron. The application to electrons was made in 1913 by Irving Langmuir, and the equation is also called the Child-Langmuir Law because of this. Child's original paper was cited in scientific papers more than 600 times in the century following its publication; in 2013, the paper was cited 32 times.

title: Leccinum cyaneobasileucum

text:
Leccinum cyaneobasileucum is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Originally found growing under silver birch, it was described as new to science in 1991. The fungus produces fruit bodies with caps measuring  wide that range in colour from hazel, to reddish-yellow, to walnut brown. The white to grey stipe measures  long by  thick and is covered with brownish scales. In deposit the spores are walnut brown; microscopically, they are somewhat spindle shaped and measure 14–18 by 5–6 µm. L. cyaneobasileucum grows under birch, usually in moss. The mushroom is edible but not particularly tasty.

title: Touching (Paul Bley album)

text:
Touching is the sixth album led by jazz pianist Paul Bley featuring tracks recorded in Copenhagen in 1965 and released on the Danish Fontana label.

Reception

AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "Although not all that memorable, the playing by the trio is at a high level and it is interesting to hear Paul Bley's mid-'60s avant-garde improvising style which offered a contrast to the more dense playing of Cecil Taylor".  The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "The playing was superb... Carter and Altschul offer solid support but the focus is on the piano".

title: Jackman Stewart

text:
Jackman L. Stewart (1930–2000) was a teacher, coach, and school administrator. Stewart worked at the Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts, for 34 years (1956-1990). He served as the school's athletic director for 20 years (1963-1980; 1983-1986). Stewart's administrative roles at the school also included dean of students, dean of admissions, and director of development. The Berkshire School's hockey facility and its soccer award bear his name. The Jackman L. Stewart Soccer Award recognizes a "male and female soccer player who best exemplifies the spirit of Berkshire School soccer."

Early life and education

Stewart was born on February 5, 1930, to Maude L. Stewart and Ralph L. Stewart. He graduated from the Morristown School (now Morristown-Beard School) in Morristown, New Jersey. Stewart then completed his bachelor's degree at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1954. During his studies at Springfield College, Stewart played as a goaltender for the men's ice hockey team, and he played on the men's soccer team. Stewart also served on the staff of the school's yearbook and radio station. After graduating, he served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. Stewart then began his career as a teacher. After teaching history at Roeliff Jansen Central High School in Hillsdale, New York, he joined the faculty of the Berkshire School in 1956. Stewart began working as a coach for soccer and junior varsity boys' hockey.

Coaching career

Stewart notched 170 wins while serving as the boys' hockey coach at the Berkshire School for 21 years. During his third year at the school, he guided Berkshire School to its first Tri-State Hockey League Championship in 1958. Stewart also coached the boys' soccer team at Berkshire School for 19 years and the girls' soccer team at the school for six years. In 1969, he led the boys' soccer team at the Berkshire School to an undefeated season and tournament championship for the Western New England Preparatory School Soccer Association (WNEPSSA).

Stewart served on the Executive Committee of WNEPSSA and then as the association's president During his tenure in the WNEPSSA leadership, he helped establish exchange programs between the U.S. and Great Britain. In 1979, the London Football Coaches' Association awarded Stewart their scroll "in recognition of his services to soccer". WNEPSSA named its Division A championship trophy the Stewart Cup in 1989 to recognize his contributions to high school athletics in New England.

Stewart also served as president of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council from 1972 to 1974. In 1993, the Council awarded Stewart their Distinguished Service Award. The award recognizes an individual who has "contributed significantly to New England Independent School Athletics and Physical Education through enthusiasm, dedication, leadership, and vision."

Jackman L. Stewart Athletic Center

In 2009, Berkshire School opened its Jackman L. Stewart Athletic Center, a 117,000 square foot facility that cost $30 million to construct. Five hundred members of the Berkshire School community attended the dedication ceremony for the new facility held in January of that year. The Stewart Center replaced the Rovensky Field House, which had served as the hockey facility at Berkshire School since 1960. Built to maximize energy efficiency, the Stewart Center uses geoexchange cooling systems and daylight harvesting technology for lighting.

The Stewart Center has two ice hockey rinks: an Olympic-sized rink and an NHL-sized rink); The larger rink seats 600 spectators, and the smaller rink seats 150 spectators. The center also includes a community fitness center, an athletic training suite, conference rooms, and athletic department offices. Upon removal of the boards, the Stewart Center's smaller rink can transform into a theatre with 1,500 seats to facilitate hosting performances and all-school events. During the school year, the center hosts indoor tennis and campus events, including Prize Night and commencement. During the summer, the Stewart Center hosts performances by the Berkshire Choral Festival.

The need for two hockey rinks at the Stewart Center reflected the importance of ice hockey to student life at Berkshire School. As of 2009, more than a third of its students play the game of ice hockey. The school has three boys' hockey teams (varsity, junior varsity, and third team), and two girls' hockey teams (varsity and junior varsity). As of 2009, the hockey team at Mount Everett Regional High School and the Berkshire Rattlers youth hockey team also play their home games at the center.

title: Mark Tuohey

text:
Mark H. Tuohey III  is an American attorney best known for representing corporations and white collar clients. In February 2015, he was appointed by Muriel Bowser as director of the Mayor of Washington D.C.'s Office of Legal Counsel  In August 2018, he returned to private practice for law firm BakerHostetler.

Education
Tuohey received a J.D. from Fordham University Law School in 1973 and B.A. from St. Bonaventure University in 1969. He has been called one of Washington's "go-to" white collar defense attorneys.

Career
Tuohey has been labeled one of Washington's "go-to" white collar defense attorneys.

Whitewater Investigation
In 1994, Tuohey joined the legal team of Ken Starr in the investigation of the Whitewater controversy, leaving his position as a partner at the law firm Reed Smith. Tuohey served as Starr's deputy counsel.

Enron
In 2001, Tuohey sat on a special committee on Enron that Vinson & Elkins set up to oversee the company's defense in the Enron Scandal.

Bob Ney
In 2006, Touhey represented former Ohio Republican Congressman Bob Ney, who  was convicted of conspiracy in charges related to the Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal. In a Federal Elections Commission filing showing expenses through the end of June 2006, Ney reported that he had not paid any legal fees since January 5 from campaign funds. Tuohey said Ney "needs money for his campaign and that's a priority right now. He intends to pay. He'll pay his fees, I have no doubt about that." Ney's withdrawal from his race meant that he could use his remaining campaign funds, almost half a million dollars, to pay for his legal defense.

Pershing Park Arrests
Tuohey represented Metropolitan Police Department chief Charles H. Ramsey after Ramsey was accused of a mass arrest of IMF protesters in Pershing Park in 2002. The case generated at least $1.53 million in fees for Vinson & Elkins. Tuohey assured the courts that Ramsey would comply with judges orders but was unable to produce key evidence.

title: Closer (Paul Bley album)

text:
Closer is the seventh album led by jazz pianist Paul Bley, featuring seven compositions by Carla Bley (and one each by Bley, Annette Peacock and Ornette Coleman), recorded in 1965 and released on the ESP-Disk label.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars noting  "Bley and his trio understand that with compositions of this nature, full of space and an inherent, interior-pointing lyricism, that pace is everything. And while this set clocks in at just over 29 minutes in length, the playing is so genuine and moving that it doesn't need to be any longer". PopMatters review stated "Closer is regarded as a new beginning for the jazz pianist who used to provide such elegaic keystrokes for Jim Giuffre's trio. The album is a brief tour of what it meant to be a piano trio back then... a gutsy record". The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "Closer is still a delight nearly 40 years after first release. The key track here is Carla's classic "Ida Lupino", which her former husband turn into a rolling, almost filmic narrative with layers of detail that belie the simple materials. Some have noted a continuing cross-fertilisation of ideas with Ornette Coleman on these tracks. That's harder to hear if you aren't aware of the association, but the staccato rhythms and bitten-off melodic ideas do point in that direction".
Reviewing the 2008 rerelease All About Jazz stated "Bley makes a welcome return with one of his best".

title: Tiljala

text:
Tiljala is a neighbourhood of South Kolkata, in West Bengal, India.

History
The East India Company obtained from the Mughal emperor Farrukhsiyar, in 1717, the right to rent from 38 villages surrounding their settlement. Of these 5 lay across the Hooghly in what is now Howrah district. The remaining 33 villages were on the Calcutta side. After the fall of Siraj-ud-daulah, the last independent Nawab of Bengal, it purchased these villages in 1758 from Mir Jafar and reorganised them. These villages were known en-bloc as Dihi Panchannagram and Tiljala was one of them. It was considered to be a suburb beyond the limits of the Maratha Ditch.

In the eastern fringes of Kolkata, the neighbourhoods such as Tangra, Tiljala, Topsia and Dhapa, were populated largely with people who migrated from poverty-ridden and caste-ridden villages, in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. They came with dreams of a better life but landed in the slums with open drains, pigsties, factory chimneys and pungent chemicals. They found work in the tanneries and factories and also engaged in menial work. A big proportion of them were Chamars, but there also were Doms, Dosads, Mehtars and Kahars. They were all Harijans and they formed a majority. They escaped from the petty persecution they faced in their villages but were far removed from the mainstream of urban life and culture.  They have been here, living in depressing conditions, for more than a century.

Originally a slum area, Tiljala was once known for abject living conditions and high crime rates. It has seen a recent real estate boom but urbanization hasn't kept pace with settlements. Scattered pockets of slums exist, illegal constructions are on the rise and the arterial roads still lack pavements.

Geography

Police district
Tiljala police station is one of the nine police stations in the South-east division of Kolkata Police. It is located at C.N. Roy Road, Kolkata-39.

Karaya Women police station, has jurisdiction over all police districts under the jurisdiction of the South-east division, i.e. Topsia, Beniapukur, Ballygunge, Gariahat, Lake, Karaya, Rabindra Sarobar and Tiljala.

Jadavpur, Thakurpukur, Behala, Purba Jadavpur, Tiljala, Regent Park, Metiabruz, Nadial and Kasba police stations were transferred from South 24 Parganas to Kolkata in 2011. Except Metiabruz, all the police stations were split into two. The new police stations are Parnasree, Haridevpur, Garfa, Patuli, Survey Park, Pragati Maidan, Bansdroni and Rajabagan.

Location
It is bordered by E.M. Bypass in the east, Ballygunge in the west, Kasba in the south and Topsia in the north.

The construction of the Bondel Gate Rail Overbridge above the Kolkata Suburban Railway (Sealdah South Section), between Picnic Garden Road and Bondel Road, completed in 2006 after a long legal wrangle over land dispute, has eased up much of the traffic congestion. The proposed widening of Picnic Garden Road and G. S. Bose Road is yet to take place.

Train
Tiljala is served by the Sealdah South lines of the Kolkata Suburban Railway. Ballygunge Junction railway station and Park Circus railway station are 1.4 km and 1.8 km away from Colony Bazar respectively.

Over time, the pronunciation of the village's name gradually changed to "Iraq". The Muslim villagers migrated to Sialkot after the partition of India in 1947.

Demographics

As of 2014, the village has around 800 inhabitants. Most of the villagers work as farmers or as workers in the spinning mills located around the Machiwara-Ludhiana Road.

title: Lee Yoon Thim

text:
Dato' Y. T. Lee, also Lee Yoon Thim (; 1905–1977) was a Malaysian Chinese architect active in Kuala Lumpur in the 1950s and 1960s. He helped "Build Merdeka" after Malaysian Independence, 1963. He moved in elite circles, and held several positions in the national government and in the Chinese community. He was a close friend to Prime Minister Tuanku Abdul Rahman and other political figures. He designed several of Kuala Lumpur's landmark buildings, such as: Chin Woo Stadium, UMNO building, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Federal Hotel, Kampung Baru Mosque, Ar-Rahman Mosque and the Masjid Al-Ubudiyah. In addition to his famous mosques in Kuala Lumpur, he also worked on middle eastern and Islamic architecture project, for example, Masjid Al- Ubudiyah in Kerling ( a modest mosque), Hulu Selangor  which is opened in 1960. When this masjid is built, there was no electricity supply yet. Somehow now it has been used as a teaching place by the locals. His less well known works include the Too House, an addition for the Methodist Boys School, and healthcare-related and commercial work. In the early 1960s, a series of honours came his way: in 1960, he was granted the appellation of P.J.K.; in 1961, he was honoured as Justice of Peace and J.M.N in 1962; he was honoured as Dato' in 1964, an honorific similar to the British "Sir".

Personal life

In his early years, Lee traveled to England, Germany and Italy respectively for studies and earned a master's degree in Engineering. He returned to Malaysia and founded his own company, Y. T. Lee & Co. His ancestors came from Nanhai County, Canton Province.

Lee got married, and had at least three children, including two daughters. His children became professionals, one a doctor,
one an architect, and one a bank executive. His son, Mr. Lee Hong Fatt was the bank executive, and one daughter, Ms. Lee Chee
Peng was an arts graduate of the University of Sydney.

Career as an administrator and politician

Administrator

He was elected president of the Associated Chinese Chamber and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall on 21 March 1958.

Politician

He was a member of Malaysia Chinese Association.  He has contributed a lot to the Chinese society in Malaysia and acted as one of the strong voices for the Chinese. He was also active in promoting Chinese education in the country and developing an independent Chinese high school.

Significant buildings

Too House

The Too house was built in 1952, an Art Deco-style house located within the Golden Triangle business and commercial district.

Chin Woo Stadium

The sports complex is located at Jalan Hang Jebat, 50150, Kuala Lumpur. It is an international martial arts organisation which was built in 1953. The physical and spiritual philosophy of Chin Woo was first introduced to Malaya in the 1920 and founded in Shanghai in the 1910s by Huo Yuan Jia (Master Fok Yuen-Kap). The initialisation of project was officiated by Selangor Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah on 31 August 1951. The opening ceremony was officiated by Sir Mc Donald, the High Commissioner of Great Britain, witnessed by local leaders on 11 December 1953. Y. T. Lee is one of the committee of the opening ceremony of Chin Woo Stadium.

Methodist Boys School

This school was built on 16 November 1955. Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah took the key from the architect Mr Y.T. Lee to open the new $110,000 wing of the Methodist Boys School in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur. This school was founded by the late Rev. Preston L Peach in 1936, and the first batch of classes had seven students.

UMNO building

The rectangular four-story structure was built in 1955 to act as the headquarters for the UMNO (United Malays National Organisation) party. It is located on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

Federal Hotel

The Federal Hotel was built in 1957 to accommodate the declaration of Merdeka, Malaya's independence Day. It was founded by Tan Sri Low Yat. An article written in 1971 presented Lee as an expert in hospitality design, and credited him with a total of four hotels, two of them in Bukit Bintang. Ar Azaiddy Abdullah writes that Lee worked with one of Kuala Lumpur's municipal architects, Eric Taylor, on the Merlin Hotel, 1957-1959. The hotel was later changed to the Concorde Hotel. Most of the original interiors have been reconfigured, including the once famous Harlequin Bar and Grill.

Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka

The construction was completed on 31 January 1962. Its most prominent feature is a 65 by 25-foot glazed mosaic mural, designed by Ismail Mustam. The complex's layout on the prominent site was likened to the United Nations: a figural auditorium faces the traffic circle, and behind it lies the broad administrative block.

Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru

The building was officially opened on 12 July 1957. It can host up to 7,000 worshippers during the Muslim Friday prayer in the Malay village, Kampung Baru, that lies minutes away from the PETRONAS Towers. Its central feature is a large column-free prayer hall. One of the principal entrances is at a right angle to the qibla wall. The building's windows take the form of a modified Islamic arch, and there are onion domes, but otherwise the building is relatively free of decoration. With its thin pilasters and restrained geometric work, it is an early example of Islamic modernism. Masjid Jemek Mosque was under renovation during the year of 2015.

Masjid Ar-Rahman

It was officially opened on 23 August 1963 by Tuanku Syed Putra Al-Haj Ibni Almarhum Syed Hassan Jamalullail. The total cost of the building was $350,000. It was built to serve students at the University of Malaya. It was initially modern in its stylings, although subsequent renovations have made it look more traditional. It is located on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

Masjid Al- Ubudiyah
This mosque in the small town of Kerling opened in 1964. When it was built, there was not initially electricity supplied to the building. It is an example of Middle Eastern and Islamic forms meshed with modernism. The repetitive patterns for the fencing, the rounded arch windows, and the pointed arches between the columns in Masjid Al- Ubudiyah show a similarity between the design and materials used in the Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. A highly unusual feature of the mosque is the incorporation of a window in the mihrab.
Mosque in Kerling

Mosque in Kuala Kubu Bharu"""*Masjid India MosqueThe Masjid India is an Indian Muslim mosque located in Little India, Kuala Lumpur. It was officiated by the Sultan of Selangor in 1966, although the site was founded in 1863. The mosque was built through private donations collected from the Indian Muslim community. Lee was hired, and prepared working drawings for a "mosque and madrasa" on "Malay Street" in 1963 and 1964. The project proceeded at least as far as the architect's office advertised a tender notice. The client was the South Indian Muslim Committee on Jalan Mountbatten. The extent to which the existing Masjid India Mosque was designed by Lee is unclear, as it has clearly been renovated multiple times since the 1960s. There is a formal similarity in the exterior facades of the Masjid India and the Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, suggesting that Lee worked on both of them.

 Other Buildings Tanjong Karang HospitalThe Tanjong Karang hospital is a rural government hospital located in Tanjong Karang, Selangore. It was built at a cost of RM 1.73 million and began operating in 1966 as the second phase of the rural development expenditure for medical and health services. It initial started with a total of 57 beds from 1966 to 1970.Y.W.C.A. BuildingThe hostel and assembly hall for Young Women Christian Association (Y.W.C.A.) was proposed by Lee Yoon Thim in 1952. It is located at Jalan Hang Jebat, Kuala Lumpur. It was built to provide safe and comfortable accommodation for young girls and women from all parts of Malaysia. As for assembly hall, it is used to organise events and programmes for less fortunate.Masjid NegeriThe project was proposed by Y.T. Lee & Co. in 1967. Masjid Negeri Mosque is located in Kuching, Sarawak. It was built in 1987 and completed by the year of 1990. The total built in area is about 100 acres. This mosque is one of the most significant landmarks of the State. It can accommodate 10.000 worshipers at a time.Community Hall Raub PahangThe project was proposed in 1961 by Y.T. Lee & Co. The building located at Jalan Cheroh Raub, Pahang.Office BuildingThis 6 storey office building was proposed by Y.T. Lee in  1954. It is located at lots 186-189, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.Bank and Office Building'''

The 5 storey Bank and Office buildings can be found at lots 7-8 sec.48, Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur. It was proposed by Y.T. Lee in 1965.

Death

Lee was one of the most important of a group of architects operating in the modernist idiom in Malaysia in the period after independence. He was a central figure for shaping the young country's global image. He was considered an expert in hotel design, deftly combining modernism with a local feel. Dato' Y.T. Lee died on 7 February 1977, at the age of 72, and was buried in the Chinese cemetery.

title: Badshahi Angti (film)

text:
Badshahi Angti () is a 2014 Indian Bengali-language thriller film directed by Sandip Ray, based on the novel of the same name by Satyajit Ray, starring Abir Chatterjee and Sourav Das as Feluda and Topse respectively. The film was released on 19 December 2014. It is the first film which stars Abir Chatterjee as Feluda. This was going to be a reboot to previous Feluda film series after Royal Bengal Rahashya. But in 2016 Sandip Ray cancelled the reboot series because Abir Chatterjee started a new version of film series based on Byomkesh Bakshi franchise under Shree Venkatesh Films and Surinder Films. The other reason was the new Feluda movie Sandip Ray intended to make under a Mumbai-based production house Eros International, but Abir has a strict contract with Shree Venkatesh Films and Surinder Films.

It was declared by Sandip Ray instead of continuing the reboot series he will continue the previous Feluda film series after Royal Bengal Rahashya (2011) and Sabyasachi Chakrabarty will return as Feluda and Shaheb Bhattacharya will return as Topshe. There will be two stories in the new film and the film is named Double Feluda. This is going to be a sequel of Royal Bengal Rahashya (2011) and the movie is a 50 years tribute to Feluda. For the cancellation of the reboot series Badshahi Angti is now considered as a stand-alone reboot film.

Plot
Feluda (Abir Chatterjee) and his cousin Topshe (Sourav Das) visit Lucknow with Topshe's father (Deepankar De) to spend the Puja vacation. They arrive at the house of Dhirendra Kumar Sanyal (Biswajit Chakraborty), a friend of Topshe's father. That evening Dr. Shrivastav (Bharat Kaul) also comes to Dhirendra Kumar Sanyal and tells him that last night, a thief tried to steal his 'Ring of Aurangzeb' (The Emperor's Ring) which was given to him by Pyarilaal Seth. After the incident Dr. Shrivastav is afraid and asks Dhirendra Kumar Sanyal to keep the ring safe. Sanyal agrees and keeps the ring at his home. But one day the ring goes missing from there. Then Feluda and Topshe start investigating, to find the culprit.
Meanwhile, Feluda meets an interesting person in the neighbourhood, Mr. Bonobihari Sarkar (Paran Bandyopadhyay). Bonobihari babu has ferocious and poisonous creatures like crocodile, African tiger, hyena, rattlesnake, scorpion and black widow spider in his home. Feluda also meets Mahabir (Tathagata Mukherjee), late Pyarilal's son and a film actor who believes foul play is behind his father's death.
They travel to Lakshman Jhula Temple, Haridwar. Here, when Feluda lights his cigar near the banks of Ganga, Topse gets a glance of a shining object in Feluda's matchbox. He think that it may be the Emperor's Ring (Badshahi Angti). Later that night he asks Feluda about it when Feluda agrees that it was the ring.
Next day when they move on to Lakshman Jhula the whole group gets divided into two and Feluda and Topse accompany Bonobiharibabu. The driver of their car was a servant of Bonobiharibabu, Ganesh Guho (Rajatava Dutta) in Punjabi disguise. They trap Feluda and Topshe in a log house 1.5 miles from Lakshman Jhula. Their whole story is revealed by Feluda and it is also proved that Bonobihari babu is the culprit and also the murderer of Pyarilaal Seth.
The film ends when Topshe regains his consciousness after the last scene climax and glances over Feluda wearing the Badshahi Angti.

title: 1 Life 2 Live

text:
1 Life 2 Live was an American hip hop group, which comprised musicians Red Handed, Babe Blue and Rambo, that became well noted in the late 1990s for their debut single "Can't Nobody" with Timbaland.

Career beginnings
In 1995, in Bronx, NY, Juan "Red Handed" Cordova produced Doug E. Fresh's "Take 'Em Uptown", which caught the attention of Kid Capri. Capri's affiliates went on to feature Red Handed in various DJing gigs, and later accumulated the attention of next-door neighbor John "Rambo" Arias, who had aspirations of becoming a rapper. The pair formed a friendship and later befriended neighbor Tanya "Babe Blue" Garcia, who also happened to be an aspiring rapper. In 1997, the trio formed as a musical group and recorded two tracks for DJ LS One's mixtape, Shut Em Down. The same year, the group was picked up by Foxy Brown to tour with her in various concert venues both in the United States and Japan. Around this time, the trio performed on Showtime at the Apollo.

Can't Nobody and debut album (1998–2000)
In 1998, the group signed to LaFace Records and made their debut appearance on Timbaland's Tim's Bio: Life from da Bassment on the track "Can't Nobody". The same year, the group began recording material for their self-titled debut album; however, complications stemming from features to production, resulted in multiple delays and eventual shelving. One of the complications included the trio not wanting guest appearances on the project; former manager Mark Pitts suggested a stand-out feature that the group admired. Eminem was initially penned as the sole feature, however after complaints of "expensive label fees", the group instead enlisted Ja Rule, Black Rob and Nature as features on their track "Sacrifice". Additional reports later surfaced and revealed that other guest appearances for the album were slated to include Too Short, CeeLo Green and Khujo of Goodie Mob.

More conflicts later developed over the trio's pick for a lead single. The group's label felt their choice for the Timbaland-produced "Keep Movin'" as a single would underperform since the group were already known in mainstream markets for their debut single ("Can't Nobody") with Timbaland, and urged the group to follow with a different sound. Another single, "Never Fall in Love with Hoes", was issued as an accompanying release, however neither single managed to chart. In the midst of the conflicts, 1 Life 2 Live was featured on the soundtrack to the Will Smith film Wild Wild West (1999), on the Teddy Riley-produced "The Best". Despite the soundtrack appearance, 1 Life 2 Live's debut album was eventually shelved after further complications stemming from L.A. Reid's departure from LaFace to succeed Clive Davis as chairman of Arista Records. In 2000, the group made their final appearance on Madd Rapper's debut album, Tell 'Em Why U Madd, on the tracks "Esta Loca" and "Shysty Broads".

Dissolution
Shortly after the group disbanded, Red Handed was shuffled back to Foxy Brown's camp and joined the short-lived collective Fox-5 with fellow rappers Curtains, Young Mouse, Gavin & Foxy herself. Red Handed would go on to co-write the bulk of Foxy Brown's Broken Silence (2001), and the unreleased effort, Ill Na Na 2: The Fever (2003). Thereafter, Red Handed went on to reside in Oklahoma City and returned to his previous profession, deejaying. Babe Blue went on to sign to Lil' Kim's label Queen Bee Entertainment in 2000; however after her 2-year contract expired, she left the music business after broken promises of recording new material and a failed reunion with former collaborator Timbaland. Rambo quietly resides in Boston, Massachusetts and still creates music. His most recent single "Bring It" has been generating a buzz.

title: Metrosideros diffusa

text:
Metrosideros diffusa, the white rātā, climbing rātā or in Māori akakura, is a forest liane or vine endemic to New Zealand. It is one of a number of New Zealand Metrosideros species which live out their lives as vines, unlike the northern rata (M.robusta), which generally begins as a hemi-epiphyte and grows into a huge tree. It is one of three white flowering rātā vines (the others being large white rātā and small white rātā). White rātā is the most common climbing rātā in the wild, found naturally in lowland forests throughout the North, South and Stewart islands.

Description
Metrosideros diffusa climbs to 6 m tall and has small shiny leaves up to 2 cm or more. The leaves are mostly rounded at the tip. Flowering is from mid-spring to early summer, with white or pale pink flowers.

Cultivation
Metrosideros diffusa is not widely grown in cultivation, but is available from specialist native plant nurseries within New Zealand. In addition there is one known cultivar, Metrosideros diffusa 'Crystal Showers' sold by Blue Mountain Nurseries in Tapanui. This is a slow growing groundcover with white flowers but cream and green variegated foliage.

title: 2022 World Games

text:
The 2022 World Games were an international multi-sport event held from July 7 to 17, 2022, in Birmingham, Alabama, United States. They were the 11th World Games, a multi-sport event featuring disciplines of Olympic sports and other competitions that are not currently contested at the Olympic Games; the Games featured 3,600 athletes competing in 206 medal events over 30 sports.

They were originally scheduled to be held in 2021, but were postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They were the second edition of the World Games to be hosted by the United States since their inaugural edition in 1981.

Bidding process
The cities that bid for the 2022 Games were:
 Lima, Peru
 Ufa, Russia
 Birmingham, United States

Barcelona and Santiago also considered bids. Cities paid a $125,000 application fee, and submitted information about "venues, infrastructure, volunteers, budget, transportation[,] and other elements".

Birmingham's bid, publicly announced in June 2014, was presented by Edgar Welden, Scotty Myers, and David Benck. It was the only American city authorized to make a bid for these games. Myers, the executive director of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, said the bid was "a dream, but it's not a pipe dream. It's attainable." At the time, organizers projected a budget of $75 million, and the Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau anticipated a windfall of between $224.4 million and $288.6 million in out-of-town dollars.

On January 22, 2015, at its meeting in Lausanne, the International World Games Association (IWGA) elected Birmingham as host of the 2021 World Games.

On April 4, 2020, the Games were postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Participating nations
On February 19, 2021, the International Olympic Committee announced that certain Russian athletes would be allowed to compete under the designation "ROC" (for Russian Olympic Committee) at the Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 Winter Games. This penalty also applies through end of 2022 and would have been applied to events affiliated with the International Olympic Committee, such as The World Games.

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, athletes from Russia along with Belarus were barred from the 2022 World Games, per the IOC's recommendations. Russia originally qualified 62 athletes while Belarus was set to send 11 athletes. Part of the ticket revenue was donated to Ukraine for rebuilding sports venues after the Russian invasion of the country.

Athletes from 110 National Olympic Committees were scheduled to participate. In total, athletes from 99 delegations competed at the 2022 World Games. The only representative team in the 2022 World Games not represented by a National Olympic Committee were the Haudenosaunee teams competing in lacrosse.

Costs
The games cost $65.1 million to produce.  It also provided a economic boost of about $165 million.  However, after only generating $51 million in revenue from sponsorships and tickets, and a $5 million dollar bailout from the city of Birmingham, it resulted in a current loss of $10 million.  In August 2022, Games CEO Nick Sellers said in a statement: “We have every intention to raise the associated funds and pay our vendors.”

title: Middleton, Bitterley

text:
Middleton is a small village in south Shropshire, England. It is located  northeast of Ludlow town centre, on the B4364 road (which runs between Ludlow and Bridgnorth), in the civil parish of Bitterley.

The settlement existed at the time of the Domesday Book (1086) when it had a mill on the Ledwyche Brook. At the time it formed part of the hundred of Culvestan, which merged into the new hundred of Munslow in the early 12th century.

For several hundred years it was known as Middleton Higford after its chief tenant Walter de Huggeford who had his main holding at Higford near Shifnal.

Middleton has a Norman chapel, much renovated in the 1850s, with a Norman motte next to it. It is a grade II* listed building.

Middleton Court nearby was built in 1864 by the Rouse-Boughton family of Downton Hall who owned most of the land around.

Brook House, built in the late 1500s, is a timber-framed moated manor house which is also Grade II* listed. Its late 18th Century privy, 17th and 18th Century outbuilding and kiln and its stables dated 1726 are all Grade II listed. Brook House Cottage (Grade II* listed) is medieval with 17th Century and 19th Century alterations.

Middleton was on the now-dismantled railway line from Clee Hill Junction in Ludlow to the quarries on Clee Hill.

Most of the present-day village is 20th century and built along the B4364, comprising some older detached properties and three housing developments: Paddockside, Westview and Ledwyche Close.
