Stanground, Peterborough
12th century Lampass Cross in the churchyard of St John the Baptist & St Michael & All Angels, Stanground.
Stanground is a residential area in the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire in the United Kingdom. For electoral purposes it comprises Stanground South and Fletton & Stanground wards in North West Cambridgeshire constituency.
Situated south of the River Nene, on relatively high ground overlooking The Fens, the area was historically part of the Isle of Ely in Cambridgeshire and of Huntingdonshire, rather than the Soke of Peterborough in Northamptonshire.[1] By 1901 Stanground was the only civil parish in England contained partly in two administrative counties.[2] In 1905 the part in the county of Huntingdon was created a separate parish, Stanground South, within Old Fletton Urban District and the anomaly removed; the remainder, in Thorney Rural District, becoming Stanground North.[3] In 1965 Huntingdonshire and the Soke amalgamated as Huntingdon and Peterborough and the Isle of Ely and historic Cambridgeshire (excluding Thorney Rural District which transferred to Huntingdon and Peterborough) amalgamated as Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely.[4] In 1974 Thorney Rural District and Old Fletton Urban District became part of the current district in the new non-metropolitan county.[5] As part of a Rural District prior to the passing of the Act, Stanground North remained parished.[6] This redundant parish which contained no dwellings or residents was finally abolished in 2003.[7]
The ecclesiastical parish of Saint John the Baptist in the Diocese of Ely covers the whole area. However, it has now been placed under the pastoral care of the Bishop of Peterborough, acting as Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Ely.[8][9] Lampass Cross, a 12th-century scheduled monument, stands in the churchyard.[10] The parish, along with its church, appears as Stoneground in the ghost stories of E. G. Swain, who was vicar there from 1905–1916. Situated adjacent to the fire station, Stanground cemetery, which opened in 1890, has limited grave availability for those residents who have family already buried there.[11]
Stanground St. Johns Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School, Oakdale County Primary School and Southfields County Infant and Junior schools are located in the area; secondary pupils attend Stanground Academy.
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service maintain a fire station, crewed day and night and equipped with Water Tender and Multistar (aerial platform), off Whittlesey Road.[12]

Home Heritage & History Hall of Fame 1870s – 1910s
STAR's Reading FC Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame is a work-in-progress project scheduled to complete on the 150th anniversary of Reading FC's first match in 1872. Each year between 2016 and 2022 11-25 new names will be added (inducted) into the Hall of Fame.
In total there will be about 150 inductees fairly even spread across the 15 decades of the club's history. Nomination is open to any individual that has played an exceptional or distinctive part in the life of the club. The Hall of Fame should not be seen as a 'long service' award. Specifically, it should include players, managers, officials, journalists and supporters.
A range of well-informed supporters has put forward initial recommendations to STAR. These have then been considered in terms of merit and popularity by a panel consisting of STAR Board members and outside experts who will determine the final selection of the latest round of inductees each year. Supporters are welcome to take part in future initial recommendation stages. Please email media@star-reading.org for further details.
Edward Haygarth
Reading career: 1872-76
c40 appearances
c10 goals
Claim to fame: Reading's first star player and first England international.
Edward Brownlow Haygarth was an inspiration to Reading FC in its very earliest amateur days. It is likely he played in the club's first ever game. He is the club's first recorded goal-scorer, first hat-trick scorer and first international player, as well as the second ever captain of the club. Haygarth's links to the great and good of football's early days would almost certainly have helped the status of the new Reading club.
Born in Cirencester in 1854 Haygarth came to Reading as part of his training to be a solicitor. He was an all-round sportsman, capable in athletics and a good bat for Reading Cricket Club. At football he played in a position described as 'back' in an era where he could face up to seven forwards. He was described as a having a powerful and accurate kick, fearless and heavy and able on occasions to dribble right through the opposition to score.
Newspaper reports enthused about his play and soon he went on to represent Berkshire, to play for the select Slough-based club Swifts and in 1875, at the age of 20, to play at The Oval in the 4th ever football international against Scotland. In the FA records he is credited as being a Swifts player but there is no doubt he was also captaining and playing for Reading regularly at the time. He acquitted himself well in the international, a 2-2 draw, and continued to captain Reading for a while before moving to London, where he played for Wanderers, and then Cirencester where he set up in legal practice.
He retired from football at 23 but continued to play cricket as a leading batsman for Circencester Cricket Club and briefly as a first class cricketer for Gloucestershire. In later life he was a founder member of what became Circencester Golf Club and an important figure in the local community there.
Harry Rogers
c1 goal
Claim to fame: A Reading captain who died on the field of play.
Harry (Henry Francis) Rogers was Reading third, and at the time longest serving captain. It is possible he played in the first ever Reading games, for which no line-ups survive, as he is mentioned in the first team photograph. Rogers was a tall, broad-shouldered, full or half back with good dribbling skills and he also represented Reading Hornets and the Berkshire XI in his playing career which ended with his abrupt and untimely death on the field.
Leading the side against Pilgrims on 25 October 1879, despite feeling ill, Rogers succumbed to an epileptic fit during the first half. Consequent upon his death Reading abandoned their fixtures for the rest of the year. A substantial collection for a memorial for Rogers was raised by club members and this still exists as part of his grave in Leamington Spa. Rogers was an architect's clerk and 25 at the time of his death a much loved member of the club.
Claim to fame: Cup-winning full back and huge figure in early Welsh football.
Though John Morgan only played one season for the club (1878-79) he became our first acknowledged international player (capped for Wales v Scotland) and would surely have won 'player of the season' had such an award been in existence. Morgan was a school-master and a former Cambridge Blue. He played full back for Reading in our narrowly-lost, glamour FA Cup tie against eventual winners Old Etonians and in all the club's matches in the first ever Berks & Bucks Cup.
His well-directed corner caused the scrimmage from which the winning goal was scored in the final. At the end of the season he moved to another teaching post in Derby and, despite the best efforts of the committee, could not be enticed back. Morgan is the first Reading player on record to acknowledge the positive effect that spectators could have on the players. He later played for Notts Co and captained Wales, winning 10 caps in all, and scoring against England..
James Simonds
Reading career: 1871-1895
Claim to fame: First, and long-standing, President of the club throughout its amateur days
James Simonds was elected President of the Club on its foundation and retained this position until June 1895 when he joined the breakaway faction of Reading Amateurs as their President. Often described in the early days as the 'father of Reading FC' or its greatest friend although there is no evidence he actually played for the club.
Simonds was 22 when elected President yet was already an influential and respected figure in the town which was a useful asset to the club and the sport. He often presided over the AGM and probably helped with the finances of the club in difficult times. He held a senior position in Simonds Bank in King St, Reading and also served for long periods on the town council. Simonds was a true Reading patriot from a long-established local family, usually better known for their brewing interests in the town. James also held key offices in the cricket and rowing club and Berkshire CCC. He died in 1905.
The Simonds connection still tenuously exists with the club today. Simonds contemporary relative George Blackall Simonds was the sculptor who created the statue of the Maiwand Lion in Forbury Gardens from which the club's mascot – Kingsley – is derived.
Reading career: 1871-c1892
Claim to fame: Influential figure in developing the amateur Reading FC
John Wessley Martin was quite possibly at the foundation meeting of Reading FC and in its first ever match. He's in the first line-up that we know of for sure and in the first ever team photo, dating from 1872. The indications are that he probably wasn't a very good footballer, spending about half his 35 appearances in goal and the other half in the forward line (3 goals) and often being dropped for big matches at which he then umpired.
But he was a very important administrator, taking on the key role of club secretary from the ineffectual Joseph Sydenham in 1875 when the club was drifting. By 1879 it had become one of the more powerful clubs in the south of England and won the inaugural Berks & Bucks Cup that year. Martin was the secretary of the B&B FA and also founded the Reading Challenge Cup in 1881. This competition stimulated a real growth in the interest in football in the town from which Reading FC was to benefit a decade later. In 1882 he ceased his active involvement with the club but remained a vice-president for several years and a source of support during some years of struggle.
Martin was clearly a strong personality, established as a leading solicitor by 1881 and living in prosperous Downshire Square. He was an active worshipper at Reading Minster and Mayor of Reading by the age of 40 and again at 58 – and a force in local amateur dramatics. Martin had two younger brothers who also played for Reading; Bill was an architect, while Fred became a local solicitor.
Charles Field
c150 appearances
Claim to fame: A loyal club man and a great townsman.
Charles Field was the eldest of the three Field brothers and though he did not reach the same heights as his brother Edgar on the playing field he made more of a contribution to Reading FC and the life of the town. He made his debut in 1876, was a member of Reading's first trophy-winning team in 1879 and continued to play, usually on the left wing, to the advanced age (for those times) of 37, his last game being in 1887. In all he played 'first class football' for 20 years.
Charles captained the team on occasion, represented both Berks & Bucks and Oxfordshire in county matches and sat on the club committee for several years – all the while combining his playing career with high profile roles in the town as the deputy coroner, solicitor, councillor and, later in life, three times Mayor of Reading. He died in 1936 at the age of 86, recognised as the 'Father of Reading Corporation' and a freeman of the borough. His association with Reading FC continued into the 21st century as the club's solicitors in Madejski's time were Field, Seymour, Parkes.
Edgar Field
c2 goals
Claim to fame: long-serving captain, England international and FA Cup winner.
Edgar Field was the best known of the three Field Brothers, from a Wallingford family, who played for Reading in the 1870s and 1880s. His brother Charles was inducted in 2017. A tall and heavy-set full-back he made his Reading debut in 1876 and was captain of the club from 1881 to 1888 but his principal honours came elsewhere. He won the FA Cup in 1880 with Clapham Rovers and caps for England against Scotland in 1876 and 1881 (becoming the first international to score an own goal!).
Edgar was a leading figure in football in the area, frequently playing for the Berks & Bucks FA County XI and often refereeing local club matches. In middle age he moved away from the town and worked as an accountant in Derby. Amongst his records recently come to light was a photograph of the England team of 1876. It is the oldest England team photograph in existence.
Stanley Hayward
Apps: 200+
Claim to fame: Record appearance-maker for amateur Reading FC and one-time club secretary
A Reading man, initially a half back in 1875 but converted to a goalkeeper after two seasons and was a regular player until 1889. He was in Reading's first Berks & Bucks Cup win in 1879, played for the Berks & Bucks FA and was regarded in his prime as a fine keeper worthy of England consideration. Hayward could be quite an attacking goalie, scoring six times from that position including two in a match once. With 200 known games Stanley is probably the record appearance maker for the amateur Reading FC.
He became club secretary in 1883 (until 1889) and was also secretary of the Reading Cricket and Tennis Clubs. He became a successful businessman and accountant and served for 35 years on the Council, becoming Mayor of Reading in 1918 (the third of his team-mates from the 1870s to do so).
Tom Skurray
120 appearances
Claim to fame: Connected the Coley Park era with the Southern League
Skurray was the young pirate who became the old war-horse. At 14 Tom was the captain of Reading Pirates and at 16 made his debut for Reading in 1884. At 17 he joined the Reading FC committee (until 1889) and started a chemistry degree at University College, London. Student life didn't stop Tom from playing regularly on the wing in our Coley Park days. In later years he sometimes dropped back to the half-back line.
He became an expert brewing chemist, working at Morlands in Abingdon, but still found the time to play at Caversham Cricket Ground after our move there in 1890. Tom was a member of our 1892 Berks & Bucks Cup-winning XI and continued to be an asset in our first Southern League season, 1894-95. Even at the time it was seen as remarkable that someone who played in front of 50 people at Coley Park could be playing in front of 4,000 in the Southern League 10 years later. The old war-horse, as he was called, had bridged the eras. In later life he became a nationally known spokesman for the brewing industry and a wealthy man.
Thomas Henry Turner
Reading career: 1875 – 1888
Claim to fame: Totally dedicated club servant – even swam for Reading FC!
Thomas Turner was an intensely loyal and hard-working utility player and official for Reading FC, said always to be in the thick of the fight. He made his debut in 1875 and his last appearance in 1888. For many years he was deputy captain and also took on some secretarial duties which included "rounding the players" at a time when the club's fortunes were at a low ebb. He was a member of the club committee from 1878 to 1889. He even swam for Reading FC – once finishing third in a 150 yards race.
Thomas was the son of gun-maker, also Thomas Turner, and their premises were in the Butter Market, conveniently close the club's Friar Street HQ. The family were long-standing Reading residents and the business survived, in name, into the 21st century, trading in Gosbrook Road. Thomas later became a town councillor and remained a staunch advocate of amateur football.
Horace Walker
Claim to fame: The man who saved Reading FC and turned it professional at Elm Park.
Horace Walker's involvement in Reading FC lasted from 1880 – when he made his debut as a 16 year-old – until 1896 by which time he had fulfilled the formal roles of player-manager, secretary, treasurer, and chair of the committee. But this list of roles do not tell the full story of his influence on the club for, in the dark days of 1889-90, he essentially saved it from dissolution and re-made it into a modern outfit capable of sustaining a position amongst the highest rank of southern clubs.
As a player Walker was a speedy winger and regular goal-scorer whose last match was in 1893. He was also a noted athlete across southern England. From a Reading family and from working at Huntley & Palmers he had connections throughout the local sporting realm that enabled him to reform the club. He was the bridge between the truly amateur days of Coley Park and the much better supported club in its Caversham days. As a result of his efforts he became the first life member of the club and was twice awarded a considerable honorarium (gift) by the members. He was a well-known and popular figure as both a football administrator and referee.
Joey Warburton
Claim to fame: The man who made sure Reading FC was called Reading FC.
Joey Warburton was a well-loved local hero who played several important roles in the decade that transformed Reading from a struggling amateur outfit to a nationally recognised professional club. He scored the vital goal in Reading's first trophy win for 13 years, became club secretary at a key moment and soon after an important director when the club turned professional.
Joey Warburton was born in Thatcham in 1867 and moved to Reading in his youth to work for Jackson's general and scrap metal merchants in Oxford Road, eventually becoming managing director there. He was active in local football and cricket at a young age and played for Garfield and Earley before joining an improving Reading team and making his debut in September 1890. Joey played mainly as a right-sided forward. He was almost ever-present in 1891-92 and scored the opening goal in the Berks & Bucks Cup Final in 1892. Reading won 2-0. Thereafter he featured less regularly in the first team though he did play against Old Carthusians in 1894 (the programme still exists for this match) and a few times in our first Southern League season 1894-95. He was a popular mainstay of the reserves towards the end of his career.
When the club turned professional in the summer of 1895 Warburton retired from playing and took on the role of Club Secretary and almost his first act was to fight off the claims of the breakaway Reading Amateurs FC to the title of 'The Reading Football Club.' This he managed successfully. The club became a Limited Liability Company in 1897 and Warburton, with his long association with the club and his playing experience, became one of the most influential directors. He died in 1939.
Frank Deane
Claim to fame: Last captain of amateur Reading who led a revitalised trophy-winning side.
Frank Deane was the last captain of Reading when it was an amateur club. He had been well-known as the captain of neighbouring Caversham FC before putting his main footballing efforts into Reading FC from 1890 for whom he scarcely missed a match thereafter.
His transfer to Elm Park, despite the interest of Burnley and Clyde, was a major coup for Reading. Johnny was 33 when he signed in October 1898 and in November 1899 went on a FA tour of Germany and Austria. The FA XI won all four matches against the German and Austrian national sides by an aggregate of 38-4! Holt's form was good enough to win one more cap in March 1900 and so he became our first professional England international.
He also became the first England player to win 10 caps without being on the losing side. Johnny carried on playing until he was 37, making 61 Southern League appearances for us. He scored his only two goals for the club in a 8-0 away FA Cup win at Wycombe. Upon retiring in 1902 he was elected on to Reading's board of directors but had to stand down when the FA refused to reinstate him as an amateur.
Johnny Holt
Apps: 112
Claim to fame: The first professional Reading player to be picked for England
Despite standing just 5ft 4 tall Johnny was a formidable centre half who is credited with inventing the sliding tackle and was nicknamed 'The Pocket Marvel'. He made his name at Everton, where he won the League championship and nine England caps.
Stan Justins
Claim to fame: Loyal club man who played for both amateur and professional Reading FC
Stan played full back for Reading between 1887 and 1897 having learned his football with South Reading, often the second-best team in the town. His was an unusually long career for those days – even more so given that his career spanned both the amateur and professional eras on the club.
Stan was deputy captain and acting captain of the club on many occasions. He was one of very few players of the amateur Reading FC to turn pro successfully. A level-headed man in a crisis on and off the pitch and key part of the successful early 1890s trophy-winning side and later made 39 appearances in the Southern League. Stan worked for GWR and in later life lived in Waverley Road, overlooking Elm Park.
Henry Hewitt
Claim to fame: Reading's first crowd-pleasing star centre-forward
Henry Hewitt was the star centre-forward of the first Reading team that regularly drew four-figure crowds. He was a fast, skilful forward whose play was described as 'spicy and full of vigour' – a great shot and a brilliant dribbler capable of taking on defences on his own. Hewitt inspired secretary-manager Horace Walker's revitalised Reading to many important victories including the significant re-capture of the Berks & Bucks Cup in 1892.
He scored five in a game twice, including all five goals in a 5-5 draw at Clapton, and four three times (once against Tottenham Hotspur). In 1893 he moved to London and sadly missed the train to a vital (lost) FA Cup tie at Swindon. It was the beginning of the end! He later went on to play as an amateur for Clapton in the first Southern League season, 1894-95. His goals to games ratio must be one the best in Reading's history though astonishingly his feats have rarely been recognised. He was also a prolific scorer for Reading Cricket Club with at least one unbeaten century to his name.
Before joining Reading in 1890 he had been the captain of Devon county team. Hewitt was born in India but studied in England, graduated from Oxford University and became a schoolmaster.
Phil Bach
Claim to fame: Our first pro captain and a future England international
Phil joined Reading as a professional from Middlesbrough in July 1895, just weeks after the club decided to become professional. He was immediately appointed captain although he was only 21. The model of consistency at full back he was ever-present in his first season, being described as 'sound rather than brilliant'.
In his two seasons with Reading he made 33 Southern League appearances plus three in the FA Cup before moving to Sunderland, where he won his solitary England cap – in England's record victory, 13-2 v Ireland. He moved back to Middlesbrough, first as a player and then spending 18 years as the club's chairman. A renowned football administrator with both the FA and the League, it was Phil who suggested copyrighting the fixtures to prevent the football pools companies using them for free, a decision from which the game benefited by many millions over several decades.
Fred Bartholomew
FL 6 apps
SL 158 apps
Reading total 178 appearances 9 goals
Claim to fame: Over half a century at Elm Park as player, trainer and groundsman.
Fred had a fairy-tale introduction to his Reading career – at Elm Park to watch a local cup final in Easter 1904, he was asked to make up the numbers for one of the teams and ended up scoring a hat-trick. He was immediately signed by Reading and he stayed for over 50 years, first as a player and then as a trainer and groundsman, retiring in 1957.
Although mainly a right sided defender, Fred played in every position for the club, making 193 League, Southern League and FA Cup appearances, scoring 11 goals, a total that would have been much higher but for the War years during which he rose to the rank of Company Quartermaster Sergeant. Known affectional as 'Old Bart', Fred can claim to be among the club's greatest servants and certainly among the most long-lasting. He had a sense of humour too. On being offered the captaincy by the manager in a bid to cut down drinking in the club he declined saying he thought he was one of the worst offenders!
Herbert Smith
160 apps
Claim to fame: Reading's most capped England international, Olympic gold medallist and a true amateur sportsman.
One of the last great amateur players in the new age of professionalism, Herbert captained Reading for the first eight seasons of the 20th century, guiding the club to runners-up spot in the Southern League, our highest position there, and winning the Southern Charity Cup in 1905. He made 153 Southern League appearances and 7 in the FA Cup.
His 'dexterous left foot was almost legendary' while he was 'scrupulously fair' and this led to him winning four full England caps in 1905-06 (still the most yet by a Reading player) plus 14 England amateur caps. He also won a soccer gold medal at the 1908 Olympics as well as captaining Oxford City to the final of the Amateur Cup. Herbert later acted as president for Oxfordshire FA for 32 years and is thought a genuine candidate for the title of Reading's greatest player. Smith was described as 'a total abstainer who smokes moderately' and 'is idolised by the players at his club'.
Harry Matthews
Secretary/Manager
Claim to fame: our longest serving manager and sometime club saviour.
Harry was a long-standing servant of the club whose involvement dates back to the mid-1890s when he was the secretary-manager of the reserves. By 1902 he had taken on that role with the first team and remained in that position until 1919, making him our longest serving manager by some distance.
He was our first paid manager to pick his own team, albeit subject to the directors' approval, and guided the club to their first professional trophies. A skilled administrator, Harry saved the club from several financial disasters and in 1911, when the board voted to wind up the club, he 'forgot' to minute the decision and raised enough public support to enable the club to carry on. Harry was particularly adept at finding star players from the Army and other unlikely sources. He had the hugely difficult task of sustaining the club during WWI with friendlies and matches in London League. In total he managed the club for over 500 peace-time first team games, three runners-up positions in the highly competitive Southern League Division One and the SL Division Two title at first time of asking in 1911.
Ernie Watts
Claim to fame: Signed three times for Reading – once for just 12p!
Born in Woolhampton, west Berkshire, in 1872, former soldier Ernie was one of our first professional players. He signed from Tilehurst for the princely sum of 2/6d (12.5p) in 1896. Ernie had also previously played as an amateur guest in 1893 when serving with the Lancs Regiment, from whom we often borrowed players. At 5ft 10ins and weighing 12st 8, Ernie was a physical presence at either right half or occasionally as an emergency goalkeeper and was always known as 'Big Wattie'.
After three successful Southern League seasons, Ernie moved to Notts County, playing 17 First Division games for them before returning to Elm Park a season later. Virtually ever-present for the next four seasons, Ernie also played in an FA trial alongside a record four other Reading players; a trial that saw Herbert Smith picked for England. In 1903 Ernie was on the move again, playing for New Brompton (Gillingham) and Clapton Orient before a third spell at Reading, which saw him add just two more appearances to the 146 Southern League games he had played for us, having scored nine times. A fine all-round sportsman, Ernie also played cricket for Berkshire.
Billy Henderson
Claim to fame: Tough and successful defender in a strong Southern League side
Midlothian-born Billy made more appearances for Reading in the 1910s than any other player, a total of 231 in all competitions (including 143 SL and 34 Cup). He was a tough-tackling defender who was warned by the directors over his persistent fouling on more than one occasion. Despite this, he signed for Reading three times with spells at Southampton and Everton in between.
His physical play saw him form an impressive full back pairing with the more cultured Herbert Smith with great success. Billy missed only one match in 1904-05 when Reading finished runners-up in Southern League Division One and were joint-winners of the Southern Charity Cup in that same season. When his playing career had finished he emigrated to the USA to work in a Colorado salt mine!
Willy Garbutt
1 goal
Claim to fame: The father of Italian football and source of our greatest European triumph
Widely known as 'the father of Italian football' Willy Garbutt's Reading career was brief – only 8 Southern League appearances and one goal – but he also provided the link for our greatest (yet) European adventure – the 1913 tour of Italy.
Garbutt joined Reading in 1903 from the Army but played only sporadically, mainly as a right winger. It was not until late in 1905 he had a decent run in the first team at which point he was snapped up by Arsenal for a 'goodly sum'. In two and half seasons at Arsenal and four at Blackburn he made 134 First Division appearances retiring at 29 through injury.
He went Genoa, became manager there and won three league titles and was dubbed 'the English Mister'. It was during his first summer there (1913) he was instrumental in inviting Reading to tour Italy and play Genoa, among the five matches arranged. During the tour Reading were credited with being the finest football team ever seen in Italy – a claim perhaps nowadays under some threat.
After Genoa (where he won Serie A three times) he also managed AS Roma, AC Milan and Athletic Bilbao where he won La Liga. Most of all he was revered as an important early influence on the great Italian coach Vittorio Pozzo who guided the Azzuri to two World Cup triumphs. He was also cricket coach at Genoa but that led to rather less!
Billy Beats
5 goals and coach
Claim to fame: Somehow with us from the 19th to 21st centuries!
Born within days of the formation of Reading FC in 1871, Billy was a member of the first professional team to play against Reading, netting for Burslem Port Vale in that game in December 1892. He made his name with Wolves, where he scored 73 goals in 218 League appearances as well as playing twice for England.
He joined Reading in the summer of 1907, initially as our trainer, but he was so impressive on the training pitch that he signed as a player that September. Billy extended his playing career with Reading for three more seasons, making 26 Southern League appearances, netting five times. He carried on as our coach until the start of the First World War before returning to Elm Park in the early 1920s, coaching the club until 1925. Billy stayed in Reading, running the Truro public house in Castle Street until 1936, during which time all three of his sons played for Reading Schools, with Eddie winning an England Schoolboy cap in 1920. He was given the honour of one share in the Football Club who were still writing to him at the Truro pub in 2001, some 30-odd years after it had been demolished and long after he died! Somehow his name and connections to the club spanned three centuries.
Allen Foster
Claim to fame: FA Cup and European hero and WWI casualty.
Allen Foster joined Reading in August 1911, for a transfer fee of £75. He was virtually ever-present for the next four seasons and top scorer in each of those seasons, with a total of 67 league goals from 146 appearances. He is particularly remembered for two scoring feats, an FA Cup winner against Aston Villa and a hat-trick against AC Milan. Tipped for international honours, he was killed in battle in the First World War.
Allen had begun his football career with Rotherham Town, a club playing in the Midland League (which later amalgamated with Football League club Rotherham County to form Rotherham United). Moving to Football League club, Bristol City in January 1909 he made 13 appearances; scoring one goal, before transferring into the Southern League with Reading in 1911. As a left-footed inside forward he formed a deadly partnership with Joe Bailey.
He scored a stunning volleyed winner in the FA cup 2nd Round replay against First Division, Aston Villa in February 1912, prompting a bid of £750 from Villa, which the Reading FC directors rejected despite the Club being in significant financial difficulties at the time. Villa were a leading side in that era as were Manchester United who Reading held in the next round (last 16) before losing in the replay.
During the Club's successful end of season tour of Italy in 1913, he scored a hat-trick against Italian giants AC Milan in the Club's 5–0 victory. The result prompted the leading Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera to report that "without doubt, Reading FC are the finest foreign team seen in Italy." The following year he played and scored on Reading's tour of Holland. He was tipped for an England call up but war intervened.
Allen was born in Rawmarsh, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire, in late 1887. Having married Beatrice Jennings in the spring of 1912 in Bristol the couple moved into a house at 14 Kent Road in Reading (literally yards from Elm Park).
During 1915 Foster, along with many other professional footballers volunteered for active service, joining the 17th Middlesex Battalion (The Footballers' Battalion). At 4.00 a.m. on 8th August 1916 at Guillemont, on the Somme battlefield Allen was part of the 17th Middlesex attempt to attack German trenches north of the village. Early in the advance he was wounded in the arm, thigh and abdomen. After being recovered by stretcher bearers he was evacuated to a Casualty Clearing Station at Corbie, where sadly he died of his wounds. Allen is buried in Corbie Communal Cemetery Extension.
Claim to fame: A scorer of significant goals and a war hero to boot.
Achieving an incredible scoring ratio of one goal in every two and half games there have been few players who were more popular with Reading supporters than Joe Bailey. Although named Walter he was known as Joe and was nicknamed 'Bubbles', he joined Reading as an amateur in 1911, but after injury ruled him out of the 1912 Olympic squad he turned professional. A regular goal scorer throughout his career he forged a dynamic strike partnership with Allen Foster.
As well as scoring in every one of the club's five Italian tour games in 1913, Joe was our top scorer in the club's last season in the Southern League and also the first season in the Football League; that included netting Reading's first-ever League goal, against Newport County.
At the outbreak of the Great War Joe volunteered for the Middlesex Regiment's Footballers' Battalion as a private. He earned a commission and ended the war as a captain in the Suffolk Regiment, having been awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross, with two bars, making him the most decorated officer in that regiment.
Joe left Elm Park in 1921 to become a cricket coach at Warwick School but not before the club had arranged a benefit game, for which he famously sold a ticket to the future King Edward VIII.
Ted Hanney
Claim to fame: Olympian, WWI hero and record transfer fee.
Born in Brock Barracks on the Oxford Road, where his father, John, was the Quartermaster Sergeant of the Royal Berkshire Regiment, Ted Hanney had Reading Football Club and the army in his blood. He was a tall, dashing defender and it is not too strong to say he was one of Reading FC's greatest ever players.
He was tough, but also quick and skilful; being selected for the 1912 Olympic squad and played in Great Britain's 7-0 quarter final win over Hungary. Sadly he sustained an injury and could not play in the final as the team won gold by beating Denmark 4-2. On returning to Elm Park he signed professional forms but he was sold shortly afterwards to Manchester City, for a huge, at that time, £1,250 fee.
Ted volunteered to join the 17th Middlesex (Footballers' Battalion) on 1st June 1915, and in the summer of 1916 found himself on the Somme battlefield in Delville Wood. Badly injured in several places he was evacuated home. He spent 37 days in hospital but just two months later he pulled on a blue and white shirt and played for Reading at Elm Park.
After the War, and following two seasons with Coventry City, he returned to captain the Biscuitmen. Some years later he coached in Germany with Stuttgart and Wacker Munich. Reading was always Ted's home and he returned to the town, where he ran a pub and continued to take an interest in local football, running coaching sessions at Elm Park during the Second World War and was the Berks and Bucks F.A. Coach. Ted continued living in the town until his death in 1964 at the age of 75.
Claim to fame: long-serving player who saved Reading from re-election
Captain and right back throughout the 1910s and into our first League season (1920-21), Jack Smith played more Southern League games for Reading (195) than any other player. He was born on the Wirral and had previously played for Blackburn and Portsmouth before joining Reading. He cost the measly fee of £5, possibly on account of the broken leg from which he was recovering, in the summer of 1910.
Jack captained the first-ever Reading team to win promotion (from Southern League Div Two in 1911). After the war the club was elected to the newly-formed Division III but got off to a struggling start. In December 1920 Jack became our first player-manager and guided the club away from the threat of having to apply for re-election in our first League season – and that was the closest we ever came to such a fate.
Syd Crawford
Claim to fame: The greatest penalty-saving goalie in our history
Syd was a Scot who joined Reading in 1913 after First Division experience with Arsenal. Crawford was Reading's regular goalie either side of WWI making 157 appearances.
Reading were a strong Southern League side in those days finishing runners-up in 1915. Syd also played in our first Football League game in August 1920 and was a regular for two league seasons before joining Millwall.
He was a fearless keeper with an uncanny and unconventional knack of saving penalties, stopping over 50 in his career. Syd stood to one side of the goal tempting the taker to aim for the bigger space. His most famous save was in the last minute of an FA Cup tie against Chelsea. The save earned Reading a lucrative replay whilst causing his wife and a club director to faint! The replay was watched by 34,000 at Stamford Bridge – the largest crowd Reading had yet played before.
John Barnard Messer
Claim to fame: First chairman of the professional club and saved it from collapse
He was the club's first chairman after becoming a limited company in 1897 and helped guide the club through some very successful and not so successful Southern League and FA Cup years, including an ambitious yet doomed scheme to relocate the club at Garrard St, opposite Reading Station. Messer was chairman up to 1914 but two years later helped saved the club from folding thanks to his generous donation. It was said by the club secretary in 1916 that, during World War I, many of the directors had forgotten the club existed! One of our Southern League rivals, Croydon Common, did not return after the war. Messer enabled us to do so.
He was born in Reading in 1860, educated at Reading School and died in the town 92 years later, very close to Elm Park. He was a town councillor, magistrate, local businessman of significance, a timber merchant and chairman of a steam laundry.

Q: iOS version mismatch between XCode and iTunes Connect When I specify a version for my app in XCode 9b6 under Target->Identity->Version, a slightly different version shows up in some areas of iTunes Connect.
For example, version/build 1.02/2 will show up as 1.2/2 while preparing, and my iTunes Connect "finished processing" will also say 1.2/2 but then logging in to iTC will show 1.02.
I've also noticed that the AppStore version shows up as 1.0, but I'm guessing that this is just a separate versioning system.

A: The meaningless zero is probably lost when the version is parsed as an array of integers. That's why you may encounter this issue.
I suggest to not use zeros like in 007 since it will be parsed as 7.

Jakub Hendrix doesn't shy away from the black and takes on some pretty gnarly covers too.
Just throwing this out there, I think Aimee Cornwell would take on a weird psychedelic blackout project.
Some great input, thanks guys!
You'll need to make a sacrifice to the gods to get an appointment with Gakkin though. I think he's booked through 2020 at the minute!
I've seen a few people with work from Gakkin. He's not impossible to book with. The designs are incredible in person, beautifully smooth and fluid. They look like they've been painted on.

What are the hours at the tennis courts?
Bronte Tennis Club is open for outdoor play from May 1 to October 31 between the hours of 7:00am to 11:00pm, at which time the lights shut off automatically. All Adult members receive a unique keyfob which provides gate access to the club. For new members, keyfobs are picked up at the Clubhouse.
What about the Clubhouse hours?
The clubhouse lounge and washrooms are accessible by using your keyfob during all hours of operations. Please go to "Location and Hours of Operation" for a detailed schedule of when our court attendants are on duty.
As a new member, how will I find someone to play tennis with me?
There are many ways to find your match at the Bronte Tennis Club. Some are:
See our Pro - sign up for single or group lessons with the club pro, Natalie Armitage. She will help to steer you in the right direction.
Drop in to one of the Daytime Round Robins. We run Men's and Ladies' Round Robins on Friday mornings.
Come out to our Saturday Mixed Adult Round Robins…..once a month we follow up our tennis with a social.
Join the Singles Ladder, and play others at your skill level.
Add your name to the 'singles hitting list'.
Try out in April for one of the competitive Mixed or Ladies Interclub Teams.
Does the Club have a ball machine for practicing strokes?
YES, a ball machine is available for rental when a court attendant is on duty and the courts are not busy. This can be arranged by calling the Clubhouse 905-847-8033.
When is the best time to arrange a match at the club? When are courts most available?
While the tennis club is busy much of the time with structured programs and leagues, with 7 courts you will still find plenty of court time to arrange your own matches, especially on afternoons all week, and evenings on weekends.
How do I know if a program is canceled due to weather?
If the weather is problematic, call the clubhouse at 905-847-8033. There will be a message on the answering machine or a court attendant to advise you on the court conditions and the status of your match.
Can you reserve a court for a particular time?
No. Courts are available on a first come, first served basis. If there is no court attendant on duty, members must use the chalk board inside the front gate to sign up for a court. Regular group programs and scheduled leagues always take precedence, however.
What is the best age to start playing tennis?

No. We do recommend comfortable tennis clothes for playing and we do require that you wear non-marking tennis shoes on the courts for practical reasons.
Are there any special rules of etiquette I should know about tennis?
There are a few conventions you should be aware of, but most are common sense and based on common courtesy. For example, never chase a ball behind a neighbouring court when a game is in progress. Wait for a break in the action, and usually that ball will be sent right back to you. Naturally, you will have lots of chances to be helpful in return. You can read the Rules of Tennis and "The Code" on our Club Rules page.
Is there a social side to the Bronte Tennis Club?
Yes, there are Socials, one a month through the season, which are fun round-robins followed by light refreshments. And of course ,our Year End Party in the fall is the social apex of the season. Dates and times are sent out by email in our Bronte Quick Notes.

I'm currently reading Dr. Gary E. Schwartz's new book SUPER SYNCHRONICITY, Where Science and Spirit Meet, a book which is, in my opinion, a very important contribution to human thought, science and our understanding of reality in general. In Chapter 5, Dr. Schwartz talks about the synchronous occurrences involving ravens in the life of Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, and in his life just before and after he met Dr. Powell. The story is an excellent example of how what seems like a unique random occurrence can trigger sequences of seemingly unrelated events that have one thing in common …in this case, ravens.
At the first meeting of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences, at Canyon Ranch near Tucson, Arizona in August 2017, before I had read Super Synchronicities, I was seated next to Dr. Powell. She and I had never met before. It turns out that Dr. Powell and I are both alumni of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland. At this meeting, including the founders of the Academy, there were 12 members seated in a circle. As we went around the circle, introducing ourselves and expressing our interest in the hypothesis that consciousness may be fundamental, or even primary in workings of the universe, the raven connection, detailed in Super Synchronicity, was mentioned. It struck a resonating chord with me immediately.
In February and March of 2010, I was part of an expedition to the Middle East to film a documentary about the Frankincense Trail, an ancient caravan trail that stretches from what is present-day Oman, at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula, to the Holy Land, Syria and Egypt. We filmed in Egypt and Jordan. While filming in the desert south of Cairo in Egypt, we were able to have the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau to ourselves for a few hours one day. After visiting the Sphinx, we walked up the hill to the great Pyramid. And, after taking a few pictures with friends in the expedition, I looked up at the great Pyramid. To my surprise, there were three large black birds circling the apex of the pyramid. They were ravens.
This may not have been too strange, but I had never seen ravens, or any other birds circling like that in any pictures, videos or films of the pyramids, and a very unusual experience that occurred in the "Queen's Chamber" a short time later, convinced me that seeing those birds was no accident. Were they a warning? Or an important portent? You decide.
A spinning ball of light came out of the southeast corner of the chamber and struck me on the forehead. I immediately lost all sense of balance, and began to feel the turning of the earth on its axis, the orbiting of the earth around the sun, and a third rotation: that of the galaxy whirling in the blackness of space, and then, sick with extreme vertigo, I lost consciousness".
I was in and out of bodily awareness several times before they deposited my body on the stone just outside the entrance known as the "Robber's Tunnel" created by force around 820 AD. What happened between periods of sickened consciousness was remarkable: One time, I seemed to be out of my body, far above the Great Pyramid, as if I were seeing it from a point near the peak, hovering in mid-air. But, the bus parking lot had disappeared, and there were trees and green grass all around, and the pyramid was blazing white with a gold capstone! Another time, I was seeing the faces of many people, coming and going, speaking to me in a mixture of languages, interspersed with lights and symbols of many kinds. And, at one point, there were bird symbols, and I remembered seeing the ravens.
Most of the members of the expedition, with the possible exception of the filming crew and the Egyptian guides, were practitioners of traditional and alternative health care modalities, and several of them came to my aid, for which I am eternally grateful. A doctor and a nurse accompanied me back to the hotel, were I had to be transported to my room on a golf cart, because I still could not walk.
The next day, we flew to Amman, Jordan and then traveled by bus to the modern city of Petra, located at the entrance to the narrow canyon leading into the ancient city of Petra, about 150 miles south of Amman. I was able to walk, but each time I closed my eyes, I would experience vertigo and begin to see more faces and hear voices. Fearing that I would become violently ill again, I ate nothing on the trip and struggled all day to keep my eyes open. I told no one what I was experiencing.
One of the men who kept me from falling in the Pyramid, sought me out in Petra and asked me if I had seen the flash of light that occurred just before I passed out. I had told no one about the experience of the light, or anything else, except to explain that I definitely had not suffered from claustrophobia or heat exhaustion, which was what most of the people in the group theorized. I had felt fine before and after entering the Pyramid, and all of the time up until I suddenly passed out. Later, another member of the group also mentioned seeing the ball of light hit me. So, I knew that the experience was not totally subjective.
As a scientist, I had to ask: What was the meaning of this strange experience? There were aspects of the experience that were very hard to explain or understand. Why had this happened to me? Had I traveled back in time several thousand years, and seen the Pyramid as it existed then? Was I seeing the faces and hearing the voices of the people who built the Pyramid? Did anyone else have such an experience?
I did a survey of the expedition members after we got home, and found that while a few had unusual experiences, no one else reported experiencing anything similar to what I went through. While I had been excited about going into the Pyramid, I certainly had not expected anything like that, and would not want to experience it again, because it was very unpleasant. Was it just a freak discharge of static electricity, and I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? Was it a meaningless random event?
As a physicist and mathematician, I have long known that there is no such thing as a random event. We exist in a mathematically ordered universe, and an event that seems to be random only appears so because we are not seeing the whole picture. Statistical analysis and probability theory are designed to enable us to handle things that appear to be random, in a logical manner, but scientifically, they are no more than theories, and theories that are built on very shaky grounds at that!
But what about things like flipping coins, opening a book without thinking about it and reading a random passage? No, sorry, not random. Just because you are not thinking about what you are doing, doesn't mean the universe isn't. What about random number generators? A sequence of numbers produced by a program is not random, because the program was created by someone thinking about how to avoid the value of number n+1 being related to number n or n+2.
What about numbers generated by a natural process like radioactive decay? No, they're not truly random either, they are effects of a complex process that we can't readily predict. What about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? Is there true randomness at the quantum level? With the discovery of gimmel, the third form of reality, we can answer no, that does not introduce true randomness either.
Notice two things: 1) First, a definition that uses a word that is in what it is supposed to be defining is no definition. 2) Something that is "designed" to generate randomness, cannot produce a truly random sequence. The sequence is non-random by virtue of the fact that it was produced by design.
This gave me something to think about for days. But, after the experience in the Pyramid, I eventually came to understand that time is not what we think it is. When identified with a physical body, we have only the moment at hand. The past exists for us only as memories stored in the brain, and the future exists only as imagination. We only have direct access to the present. But this is because the body, with its very limited physical senses, is a super reduction valve.
When freed of the bodily limitations, and awake in pure consciousness, we can experience past, present and future, all at the same time.
Do we have free will? Yes, but not as much as we sometimes think we do.
Did I travel back in time to the time of the Pharaohs? No. The nature of time is such that no traveling is necessary; it is all present in the multi-dimensional eternal now.

La Grande Permission est un roman écrit par Ernst Wiechert, publié en 1931.

Historique
La Grande Permission est un roman écrit par Ernst Wiechert, publié en 1931 à Munich.
Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, Wiechert sert comme lieutenant de réserve en Russie et en France. Profondément marqué, il retrace son expérience dans cet ouvrage pour lequel il a reçu un prix littéraire (Schünemann-Preis).

Résumé
En 1914, Jean Karsten, Percy Pfeil et Klaus Wirtulla, personnages de L'Enfant élu, se retrouvent dans une caserne pour s'engager. Une grande permission commence...
Le titre original de ce roman, Jedermann (chaque homme ou chacun de nous en allemand), évoque le combat de ces camarades d'enfance pour résister à « cette guerre qui est le triomphe de la masse qu'elle abaisse et nivelle, qui exige le renoncement, l'abandon de tout l'être à une idée qui ne peut être que collective ».

Kumail Nanjiani got ripped and one GQ writer is here to tell you that it is even harder than it looks
By Matt Hambly
The star of Marvel's Eternals, has explained how he got himself into superhero shape in exactly the right way
Kumail Nanjiani looks like a superhero. Which is helpful, because he's been playing on in Marvel's Eternals. More than that though, he has transformed his body, and confounded Hollywood stereotypes about what funny men can do and be.

What's even more impressive is that Nanjiani showed off his new body via an Instagram post that recognized how privileged he is to be able to build a body like this. No six-pack-in-six weeks yarn here.
Instead, Nanjiani took the time to succinctly break down how he achieved his, frankly, ludicrous new rig. And, as someone who has (very limited, admittedly) experience with a body transformation, having worked for a well-known men's fitness magazine, I can tell you that Nanjiani's body is the result of some incredibly hard graft.

How Kumail Nanjiani built his body
The star of Marvel's Eternals, began by making it clear that this was the result of consistent hard work, facilitated by the expert help and financial backing of trainers, nutritionists and a Hollywood studio.
I never thought I'd be one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but I've worked way too hard for way too long so here we are. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel's Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked. I would not have been able to do this if I didn't have a full year with the best trainers and nutritionists paid for by the biggest studio in the world. I'm glad I look like this, but I also understand why I never did before. It would have been impossible without these resources and time. So big thanks to @grantrobertsfit who started working with me at the beginning of the year and made me understand true physical pain for months and months. Then, once we started shooting, a massive thanks to @davidhigginslondon and his team (@ellispartridge, @thebeardypt, @tomcheesemanfitness) for training me almost every day and making me strong, limber and injury free. I can almost touch my toes now. (And thank you for forcing me to do cheat meals David.) Matthews Street Catering for their delicious and healthy meals. And finally, the biggest thanks goes to @emilyvgordon for putting up with me complaining and talking about only working out and dieting for the last year. I promise I'll be interesting again some day. #thirstyshirtless (Photo by @markupson.) (edit: I left off one very important person: @lancecallahan who trained me for 6 years and helped me build the foundation I could use to do this. Thank you!)

A consistent fitness plan
And that's point number one: transforming your body like this isn't impossible, it's just infinitely easier with plenty of money and a detailed plan.
The other thing you need in spades is time. When I attempted a body transformation I had just under eight weeks to do it. From a standing start, it's simply not enough time.
A realistic time frame
That's not to say it can't be done, but here is point number two: give yourself a realistic timeline. Nanjiani, for example, had a year. If that sounds like a slog, take comfort in the fact that you should be able to achieve serious results in 12 weeks.
The other thing you need, of course, is dedication and focus. The sort of result that Nanjiani has achieved requires constant effort, exertion, pain and abstinence. He's packed on muscle mass, stayed lean and, in this photo especially, dried himself out so much that you can see the veins in his stomach (old-school body builders will be nodding in appreciation), more on which later.*
Paying attention to his diet
Point number three? You cannot out-train a bad diet, so investigate your meal plans with as much focus as your workouts.
Finally, it is crucial to recognize that a change like this is all consuming. Nanjiani concluded his post by thanking his wife, the writer Emily Gordon, for putting up with him talking constantly about working-out and dieting.
It is terrifying how quickly you become a gym-bore, and if you're not careful, an obsessive. And that's the last point: this should not define your worth as a human. I can't speak for Nanjiani but I know that I quickly altered how I quantified happiness, substituting success at work, relationships and a social life for body-fat percentage, muscle mass and a bench-press PB. It wasn't healthy.
In Nanjiani's case, he says in his post that his trainers 'forced him to have cheat meals', which seems to suggest that he was taking his diet a little too seriously. Credit to his team for seeing the big picture: that a fit body means nothing if you can't enjoy it, and encouraging him to treat himself now and then.
Nanjiani's success should be applauded. Even with all the help, he has clearly worked very hard. He looks incredible and should serve as an inspiration to men everywhere. But he should also be applauded just as loudly for being honest about how he got there.
*Before a photoshoot like Nanjiani's, fitness models do something called a water flush. By drinking huge amounts of water in the days leading up to a shoot (we're talking 3 gallons a day) the body goes into 'flushing mode', excreting all excess moisture. The day before the shoot you then cut your water intake to a tiny amount, causing you to 'dry out', which in turn helps reveal muscle definition, abs and those aforementioned veins. And no, we do not advise you try this at home.

We are born with language acquisition devices, by which we learn not only our native language but also foreign languages. Still we all make errors in learning languages. According to the contrastive analysis hypothesis it is assumed that the comparison between the structures of native language and those of a target language will make the learner's task easier. But it cannot explain most of the errors made by the second language learners. In order to analyze learners' errors in a proper perspective, it is crucial to make a distinction between mistakes and errors. A mistake is a deviation which the speaker or writer can identify if he is told that he made a mistake. An error is a deviation which the speaker or writer cannot identify even if he is told that he deviated from the norms of the language. One of the major contributions of error analysis is its recognition of sources of errors. The significant factors which cause learners' errors are language transfer and overgener alization. The early stages of language learning are characterized by a predominance of interlingual transfer, but once the learner has begun to acquire parts of the new system, more and more intralingual transfer-overgeneralization within the target language-is manifested. A learner's errors are important in three different ways. First, to the teacher, in that they tell him, if he undertakes a systematic analysis, how far towards the goal the learner has progressed, and what remains for him to learn. Second, they provide to tile researcher evidence of how language is learned or acquired, what strategies or procedures the learner is employing in his discovery of the language. Thirdly, they are indispensable to the learner himself because we can regard the making of error as a device the learner uses in order to learn. English teachers can find and analyze the learners' errors through discourse and written test. They can also compare the phonological system and structures of two languages. The two different views of common errors-contrastive analysis and error analysis-are useful in language teaching.;언어 이론의 변천을 크게 나누어 보면 경험주의에 입각한 언어이론과 이성주의에 입각한 언어 이론으로 구분할수 있을것이다. 경험주의에 입각하여 행동주의 심리학과 결합을 이룬 구조주의언어학의 기본원리는 언어는 문형으로 구성되어 있으며 언어습득은 원칙적으로 습관형성이라는 것이다. 한편 이성주의에 입각하여 인지주의 심리학의 영향을 받은 변형생성 이론은 모든 사람은 태어날때 부터 선천적으로 언어를 습득할 수 있는 능력을 지니고 있다고 본다. 외국어학습의 초기 단계에서는 모국어로부터의 전이현상을 많이 받게된다. 그러나, 어느 정도 제2 언어체계를 습득한 학습자는 제2 언어의 먼저 경험이나 지식이 그 자체내에서 서로 엇갈리고 간섭하는 결과로 인해 오류를 범하게된다. 최근에는 제2 언어습득에 관한 많은 논문들이 오류분석에 관심을 집중시키고 있다. 외국어학습 지도자들은 학습자와의 대화, 필기 시험등을 통해서 학습자의 오류를 발견할수 있을 것이며 그러한 자료들을 분류, 분석, 검토하여 보다 더 효과적인 학습지도를 하는데 도움이될 것이다.

Lone Star Wins Lawsuit Asking for Refund of 177 Bil. Won Taxes Withheld for KEB Deal
Posted on November 24, 2014 by Korea Bizwire in Law & Cases with 0 Comments

SEOUL, Nov. 24 (Korea Bizwire) — U.S. private equity investor Lone Star Funds, which withdrew from Korea with a handsome profit of 4.6 trillion won (US$4.14 billion) after selling the controlling stake in Korea Exchange Bank, has won a lawsuit with the Korean court to ask for a refund for taxes withheld at the time of the bank's sell-off.
The judges of the Seoul Administrative Court delivered a verdict on November 21 that the Namdaemum District Tax Office return a 177.2-billion-won tax imposed on LSF-KEB Holdings, a paper company of Lone Star registered with Belgium.

The American private equity fund firm had purchased Korea Exchange Bank at 1.38 trillion won in 2003 through its paper company. It sold a 13.6-percent stake in the bank at 1,192.0 billion won in June 2007, followed by the remaining 51-percent stake in 2012 at 3,915.6 billion won.
The firm has so far raised two lawsuits against the tax office related to the sale of Korea Exchange Bank to Hana Financial Group in 2012. This is the second part of the litigation in which the tax office assessed taxes of 10 percent on the sale price of 3.9 trillion won. Lone Star claimed at the time that it did not have to pay taxes as LSF-KEB Holdings was not a Korean company.
The judges in the administrative court said, "For this case, the Korea-U.S. tax treaty must be the criteria for judging legality, not the Korea-Belgium tax treaty." That's because it was Lone Star U.S. that would ultimately take the profit, not LSF-KEB that was established as a special-purpose company for the purpose of tax avoidance.
The judges continued, "In accordance with the Korea-U.S. tax treaty, Lone Star U.S. is eligible for tax exemption privileges in Korea and thus doesn't have tax-paying obligations in the case of a stock ownership transfer."
For other investors, however, the court determined the tax withholding justifiable as they were corporations registered with the Bermudas. Earlier in June, the administrative court had also ruled in favor of the plaintiff for the 13.6-percent share of Korea Exchange Bank.

Hey guys, 3rd year living in Norcal. I purchased the Tahoe Local pass and I've been told that Northstar has the best snow-making (projected to open next Friday. Can anyone tell me how much of the mountain, which sides and which runs do they blow snow on? There is nothing specifically on-line that talks about this. And if possible, please advise the same on Heavenly and Kirkwood.
Hey Nate, thanks for responding to this. I keep getting mixed reviews about which is which regarding who has the better snow-making. You still living in Tahoe? Do you know if there is a good whether prediction source for up-coming snow?

Even before returning home you'll need to contact your local municipality to make sure it's safe. You'll need a certified electrician to inspect all electrical, main panel and appliances. Plus, the building will need to be inspected structurally and an appraisal of damages.
Stutters DKI trained team will arrive with all the necessary equipment and assess any structural damage to your property. Using state-of-the-art equipment to quickly dry, deodorize, and disinfect the area affected means less sub-sequential damage and greater peace-of-mind.
