text: Dabo Swinney again said he intended to play both Kelly Bryant and Trevor Lawrence at quarterback in the game against Texas A&M, as he did against Furman in week 1. Bryant started the game, scoring on a one-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter to take a 7–3 lead over the Aggies. Trevor Lawrence was brought in in the second quarter, completing a 64-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins on his first pass attempt, bringing the score to 14–3. A 50-yard field goal attempt by Texas A&M was blocked by Dexter Lawrence in the second quarter. Trevor Lawrence and Bryant struggled to score for the rest of the half, however, and the 14–3 score carried into halftime. In the third quarter, Clemson and Texas A&M traded touchdowns for several drives. Kelly Bryant completed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Diondre Overton to make the score 21–6 in favor of Clemson, which was answered by a nine-yard touchdown pass by Texas A&M's Kellen Mond to Kendrick Rogers. Clemson's Travis Etienne capped off a 75-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run, and Texas A&M responded with another touchdown pass from Kellen Mond to bring the score to 28–20 Clemson. The Aggies were poised to score with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but wide receiver Quartney Davis fumbled the ball near the goal line, which was ruled to have gone out of bounds in the endzone, resulting in a touchback and Clemson's ball. The Aggies forced a three-and-out, however, and regained possession with 1:12 left to play. Kellen Mond's offense marched down the field and scored a 24-yard touchdown completion to Kendrick Rogers with 46 seconds to go. The Aggies' two-point try to potentially tie the game ended with a Kellen Mond interception, however, and Clemson ran out the clock to end the game.

text: Clemson followed the pattern of its previous two games by starting Kelly Bryant at quarterback but bringing in Trevor Lawrence for equal playing time. The Tigers three drives in the first quarter all failed to score, ending with an interception thrown by Bryant, a missed field goal, and a fumble by Adam Choice, respectively. In the second quarter, Trevor Lawrence led a 93-yard drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run by Travis Etienne. Bryant began the following drive at quarterback but came off the field due to an apparent injury. Two plays later, Trevor Lawrence completed a 57-yard touchdown pass to Justyn Ross. Clemson's next drive ended in a one-yard touchdown run by Tavien Feaster, bringing the score to 21–0 just before the half. In the second half, Kelly Bryant did not return from his injury, which head coach Dabo Swinney described as a chest bruise. After Clemson scored a 37-yard field goal by kicker Greg Huegel, Georgia Southern scored their only touchdown on the day early in the fourth quarter via a six-yard touchdown run by Shai Werts. Travis Etienne scored on a 40-yard touchdown run later in the quarter, which was followed by a 10-yard touchdown run by Adam Choice to bring the final score to 38–7. Etienne finished with a career-best 162 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the game. Trevor Lawrence improved his career best to 194 passing yards to go along with one touchdown and one interception.

text: For what would prove to be the final time, Kelly Bryant started the game at quarterback. He played only two drives in the first half, both of which ended in punts, and after which Trevor Lawrence was brought in. Clemson's first score of the game was a fumble recovery in the end zone by Clelin Ferrell. The Tigers' next score came from a 17-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Hunter Renfrow. A 53-yard touchdown pass from Lawrence to Justyn Ross on the next drive made the game 21–0 in the second quarter. On the next drive, an intended screen pass from Lawrence deflected off a Clemson lineman and was caught by Georgia Tech's Desmond Branch. Georgia Tech then scored their lone points of the first half via an 11-yard touchdown run by TaQuon Marshall. Clemson led another touchdown drive, ending in a 3-yard pass from Lawrence to Travis Etienne, just before the half to make the score 28–7. The third quarter featured touchdown runs by Tavien Feater and Etienne, after which the score was 42–7. Georgia Tech added touchdowns via a two-yard score by Nathan Cottrell and a five-yard pass from Tobias Oliver to Clinton Lynch. The last score of the game was a 30-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Tee Higgins. Lawrence finished the day with 176 passing yards, four touchdown passes and one interception.


title: 2018 Clemson Tigers football team

text: Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, back from the head injury he sustained the previous week, started the game. The Tigers offense struggled early in the game, failing to score on their first three drives. Travis Etienne opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 59-yard touchdown run. He added another touchdown run early in the second quarter to bring the score to 14–0. Trevor Lawrence passed for two first half touchdowns, first on a 55-yard connection to Justyn Ross, then on a 20-yard pass to Tee Higgins just before the half. In the third quarter, Etienne scored another long touchdown, this one from 70 yards on Clemson's first offensive play of the second half. Wake Forest scored their only points of the game, a 25-yard field goal by Nick Sciba, in the third quarter. Clemson running back Lyn-J Dixon scored two second half touchdowns, including a 65-yard touchdown run. Adam Choice had a 64-yard touchdown run as well. Etienne, Dixon, and Choice all surpassed 125 rushing yards on the day, the first time three Clemson players each surpassed that mark in one game. Players said they considered the rushing performance by the team a fitting tribute to former Clemson running back C.J. Fuller, a member of the 2016 championship team that died unexpectedly from a blood clot the week of this game.


title: 2018 Clemson Tigers football team

text: Clemson's first drive of the game was a 57-yard drive that ended with a three-yard touchdown run by Travis Etienne. Later in the first quarter, Trevor Lawrence completed a 46-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins as the Tigers jumped out to an early 14–0 lead. With 46 seconds left in the first half, Etienne ran for another short touchdown from two yards out. NC State quarterback Ryan Finley threw an interception to Clemson defender K'Von Wallace, who returned it to the NC State 4 yard line with 19 seconds in the half. Greg Huegel converted the 28-yard field goal to bring the score to 24–0 Clemson at halftime. In the third quarter, Travis Etienne scored his third touchdown of the day, a one-yard run that extended Clemson's lead to 31–0. NC State scored their only points on the day via a nine-yard touchdown run by Reggie Gallaspy II early in the fourth quarter. Clemson added another field goal by Huegel and a two-yard touchdown run by Lyn-J Dixon before the end of the game. Trevor Lawrence finished with a career best 308 passing yards in the game.


title: 2018 Clemson Tigers football team

text: Both offenses were held scoreless in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, Trevor Lawrence opened the scoring for the Tigers with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins. The next Clemson drive ended the same way, with a three-yard touchdown pass from Lawrence to Higgins. Later in the quarter, Clemson lined up on the goal-line in a "Fridge Package" with defensive linemen Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence in the backfield. Wilkins received the handoff and scored his first career rushing touchdown. Clemson scored another touchdown via a two-yard run by tight end Garrett Williams to bring the score to 28–0 before the half. In Clemson's first drive of the second half, Trevor Lawrence connected with Amari Rodgers for a 58-yard touchdown pass. The two connected again later in the quarter for a 68-yard score, after which it was 45–0 Clemson. Florida State kicker Ricky Aguayo completed a 35-yard field goal in the third quarter to break up the shutout. In the fourth quarter, Clemson running back Adam Choice scored on a 15-yard run. Florida State's final points came via a 73-yard pass from quarterback James Blackman to Keyshawn Helton with 4:43 left to go in the game. The final score of 59–10 was Florida State's worst home loss in program history.


title: 2018 Clemson Tigers football team

text: Early in the third quarter, Clemson brought out the "Fridge Package" on the goal-line, as they had done the week prior against Florida State. This time it was defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence that scored his first career rushing touchdown from two yards out. Louisville's next drive ended in another intercepted pass, returned to the Louisville nine yard line by Tanner Muse. Clemson running back Tavien Foster scored a three-yard touchdown three plays later. Backup quarterback Chase Brice played the rest of the game, and his next two drives ended in touchdown passes, first on a six-yard pass to Trevion Thompson, then on a 59-yard completion to Justyn Ross, after which the score was 63–3, still in the third quarter. Louisville's Steven Sawicki returned the ensuing kick-off 93 yards for their first touchdown of the day. Clemson running back Lyn-J Dixon ended the next drive with a 55-yard touchdown run. Louisville added another touchdown via a 10-yard run by Malik Cunningham, and Clemson ended the scoring on the day with Chase Brice's third touchdown pass, to Will Swinney for eight yards. Clemson's 77 points on the day were the most for the Tigers since an 82–24 victory over Wake Forest in Clemson's 1981 championship season.


title: 2018 Clemson Tigers football team

text: Clemson received the kick-off and got as far as the Boston College 12 yard line but settled for a 30-yard field goal to take the 3–0 lead. Boston College's first possession ended with starting quarterback Anthony Brown being taken down by Clemson defensive lineman Christian Wilkins, suffering an apparent injury. He walked off the field under his own power but did not return to the game. Clemson's next possession ended in a punt, which was returned 74 yards for a touchdown by Boston College's Michael Walker. Clemson responded with a 70-yard touchdown drive that ended with a two-yard pass from Trevor Lawrence to Milan Richard to retake the lead. Clemson added another field goal from 23 yards out early in the second quarter. Both teams failed to score for the rest of the half, and the 13–7 score carried into halftime. Clemson's first offensive drive of the second half ended with Trevor Lawrence's first career rushing touchdown, a six yard run. Early in the fourth quarter, Amari Rogers returned a Boston College punt 58 yards for a touchdown, which brought the score to 27–7, which held until the end of the game.


title: 2018 Clemson Tigers football team

text: South Carolina received the opening kick-off, and marched down the field 75 yards on their first drive and scored on a nine-yard touchdown pass from Jake Bentley to Deebo Samuel. Clemson responded with their own 75-yard drive, which ended with a one-yard score by Adam Choice. The next Clemson drive ended with a 22-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Tee Higgins, bringing the score to 14–7 Clemson. One drive later, defensive lineman Christian Wilkins scored on fourth and one from the South Carolina one yard line, his second rushing touchdown on the year. South Carolina responded with a 67-yard touchdown pass from Bentley to Kiel Pollard, and the score was 21–14 Clemson in the second quarter. Clemson and South Carolina traded touchdowns again before the end of the half, first with Clemson's Adam Choice scoring a two-yard touchdown run, followed by a 75-yard connection from South Carolina's Jake Bentley to Deebo Samuel. Clemson's Greg Huegel missed a 39-yard field goal at the end of the half, and the score was 28–21 Clemson at halftime.


title: 2018 Clemson Tigers football team

text: Clemson received the opening kickoff of the Championship Game but was forced to punt after a three-and-out. The following Alabama drive ended in an uncharacteristic pick-six interception thrown by Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa, returned 44 yards by A.J. Terrell after being tipped by blitzing safety Isaiah Simmons in the backfield. Alabama responded with a three-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 62-yard touchdown from Tagovaila to Jerry Jeudy to even the score at seven apiece. Clemson's next drive included a 62-yard pass from Trevor Lawrence to Tee Higgins and ended with a 17-yard touchdown by Travis Etienne. The high-scoring first quarter continued as Alabama marched down the field again and scored on a one-yard pass from Tagovailoa to Hale Hentges. Alabama's extra point missed, and the score was 14–13 Clemson at the end of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, Alabama's Joseph Bulovas kicked a 25-yard field goal to take the lead for the Crimson Tide. Clemson's next two drives both ended with Travis Etienne touchdowns, the first a one-yard run and the second a five-yard reception from Trevor Lawrence. Clemson kicked a 36-yard field goal in the final minute of the half, bringing a 31–16 lead into halftime.


title: Gualtiero Bassetti

text: On 22 February 2014, Bassetti was raised to the rank of cardinal by Pope Francis. Bassetti commented in response: "My aims have not changed. I want to visit factories and hospitals, because as the Pope says, we must 'be pastors with the odor of sheep.' This is the time to roll our sleeves back." He also praised the Pope's nomination of Archbishop Loris Capovilla as "a direct reference the Second Vatican Council". La Stampa called it a "surprise nomination". It was the first time a bishop of Perugia had been named a cardinal since Gioacchino Pecci, later Pope Leo XIII, in 1853. His selection was seen, according to John L. Allen, as a demonstration of Francis' preference for "traditionally neglected locales" and for "political moderates". Another observer described him as "instantly papabile, a man cut from the same cloth as Francis". Giovanni Paciullo, Rector of the University for Foreign Students of Perugia, called the nomination a tribute to Bassetti's "constant concern for the least, the excluded, the foreigner ... which brought him into the paths of marginalization and suffering..."


title: Gualtiero Bassetti

text: On 23 May 2017, Pope Francis named Bassetti to a five-year term as head of the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI). Bassetti's name was one of three presented to the Pope by the Conference membership and the one who had received the most votes from them. At the same time he extended Bassetti's appointment as Archbishop of Perugia for five years despite the fact that Bassetti had submitted his resignation as required on his 75th birthday a few weeks earlier. Opening the CEI's annual meeting on 25 September, Bassetti called for collegiality and dialogue between bishops and with the entire Church. He said he planned to end the practice of beginning the annual meeting with the president's address and would instead conclude the meeting by summarizing their debate and "seeking a point of equilibrium". As a starting point, he said Catholics could not be divided into those who prioritize personal morality and those who advocate for social justice. He spoke of the need to integrate migrants into Italian society, implying support for citizenship for those born in Italy. A reform of the tax system, he said, could support families, especially large ones, promote childbirth and provide employment.


title: Blu Wav

text: According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Blu Wav received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 79 out of 100 from six critic scores. Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Tim Sendra writing "if it's introspective, somewhat epic country rock balladry one desires, then Blu Wav might be just the thing" as "it's certainly the band's most focused record to date". At BrooklynVegan, Bill Pearis called this "Grandaddy's mellowest record ever, but also maybe their most interstellar" and this was shortlisted as one of the best albums of February 2024. Shawn Donohue of Glide Magazine characterized this as "a solid, restrained offering and a fitting coda to their catalog" in response to rumors that this may be the final Grandaddy album. In The Guardian, Stevie Chick gave this album 4 out of 5 stars for combining "seductive joy" and "soft-focus happy-sadness is an addictive pleasure all its own". The Line of Best Fit's Will Yarbrough gave Blu Wav a 6 out of 10, praising how the music "updates Grandaddy's core sound without overwriting the quirks in their circuitry", but critiquing that it "sticks to framework a little too rigidly".


title: Blu Wav

text: Sean Fennell of Paste criticized this album in light of the strength of other Grandaddy albums, but noted several highlights that leave the release "uneven". Pitchfork's Arielle Gordon gave this album an 8.0 out of 10 for Jason Lytle's "mix of humor and tragedy", with an album that "has a calmness and ease, even as sings about feeling miserable". Writing for PopMatters, Chris Conaton characterized this album as "mixed results" and gave it a 6 out of 10 for being "an interesting experiment not to attempt to find the balance at all". The Skinny's Joe Goggins characterized Blu Wav as "a startlingly assured embrace of alt-country" where "the rustic feel is front and centre" and gave it 4 out of 5 stars. In a profile for Stereogum, Danielle Chelosky wrote that this release has "devastating lyrics" mixed with a "sound is placid and hopeful" with "a layer of nostalgic beauty". Laura Barton of Uncut rated Blu Wav 4 out of 5 stars, summing up "The effect is to send the listener into a kind of emotional, geographical and chronological freefall, as if we might be passing through any decade, state or era in recent American history. A little lost, a little lovelorn, in hope of a place to land."


title: Beddington

text: Wallington is now more urban than Beddington; the hamlet in 1901 had a population of 5,152 on an area of 312 acres. In prehistoric times it also appears to have been the more important place, since it gave its name to the hundred. It is possible that the Roman remains mentioned above may be a relic of a formerly important place, and that its name may preserve the memory of the Wealas, the Romanized Britons, whom the Suthrige found here when Britain was becoming England. In historical records, however, Wallington is not a place of importance. There was a chapel, but there is no record of a parish church. In Bishop Willis's visitation of 1725 the chapel is described as partly used for a barn, no service having taken place . It was ruinous later in the century and was pulled down in 1797. There were extensive common fields, as was usual in the parishes on the north side of the chalk range. They were inclosed under an Act of 1812. In 1835 a system of allotments was established, which seems to have flourished for a time. A few old houses remain at Wallington Corner, but none of these appear to date from earlier than the beginning of the 19th century.


title: Tegridy Farms

text: Fourth grader Kyle Broflovski discovers that his younger brother Ike and his kindergarten classmates are also vaping. Kyle and his friends, Stan Marsh, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick discover that Butters Stotch is the person selling vaping pens and accessories to the children. Cartman punches Butters, ostensibly for this reason, but it is later revealed that Butters and Cartman are partners in this venture. When Kyle learns this, he resolves to report this to the principal, but Cartman begs Kyle to let them continue selling until they get out of debt for the products they already purchased. Kyle agrees on the condition that Cartman promise to stop marketing to kindergartners, but Cartman nonetheless has a costumed mascot named Vaping Man crash through the cafeteria wall in the style of the Kool-Aid Man to boost sales among young children, much to Kyle's outrage. Cartman and Butters introduce Kyle to their dealer outside the headquarters of Big Vape Colorado, where he has just purchased his supplies, but then Cartman implicates Kyle and Butters by beating the dealer and planting a dead prostitute's body near his two classmates before stealing the dealer's cash and vape products. Kyle goes to Mr. Mackey's house to ask for help, but Butters and Cartman are already there. Pulling Kyle aside, they tell him that the sixth graders are angry at all of them for attacking their vape supplier, and that the only solution is to rob the vape store to appease the original dealer, who is revealed to be Vaping Man.


title: J. G. Hertzler

text: Hertzler was born in Savannah, Georgia. His parents were from Port Royal, Pennsylvania, and his family is descended from German-speaking Amish families. His father John G. Hertzler served in the U.S. Air Force, and his mother Eleanor Frances Beaver Hertzler was a Latin and French teacher. His family lived in cities around the world including: St. Joseph, Missouri; El Paso, Texas; and Casablanca in Morocco. He grew up mostly in the Washington, D.C., area, and attended Bucknell University, playing linebacker on their football squad. While there, he got into acting when the drama department recruited him for a production of Marat/Sade as they were looking for a big guy for one of the roles. After graduating in political science in 1972, he got his master's in set design at the University of Maryland, and attended law school for a year at American University. While he was in the DC area, he worked in the federal government, including with the Nixon Administration for the National Environmental Policy Act, and took an assortment of jobs to practice theatre including waiting at a dinner theater, bartending, and taxi-driving.


title: Saranya Nag

text: Saranya acted as a child artist in Nee Varuvai Ena. She was in Class IX, when cinematographer Vijay Milton referred her on to Balaji Sakthivel who had subsequently cast her in Kaadhal. She was initially considered to play the heroine in the film, but the role was later handed to Sandhya, after the director felt she looked too young. She thus made her debut in a supporting role in the film as Sandhya's friend, and the film went on to win critical and commercial acclaim. Her role was well received and prompted a producer to sign her on for the lead role in a Oru Vaarthai Pesu, but the film was later shelved. She followed this up with the lead role in a low-budget Telugu film titled 10th Class. After appearing in another low-budget production Vilayattu, Saranya went on to appear as one of the five girls alongside Vasundra and Dhansika in S. P. Jananathan's Peraanmai, which featured Jayam Ravi in the lead role and won positive reviews. After the success of Peranmai, she signed several projects including Thiruvasagam with Aryan Rajesh and Saravana Kudil with Tarun Gopi, but the films failed to materialize. Thiruvasagam was revived in 2013 and its title was changed to Eera Veyyil.


title: 2006 Pine Middle School shooting

text: On the day of the shooting, the start of school had been delayed by snow and not all students had arrived when the shooting began. Just before 9:00 a.m. (UTC-8), fourteen-year-old student James Scott Newman brought his mother's .38-caliber revolver to the school in his backpack. He removed the concealed pistol from his coat pocket and loaded it with three .38 caliber rounds while in the bathroom. He chose his target, student Alexander Rueda, 14, at random in a hallway outside the cafeteria. Before he started firing, a friend of Newman yelled at him to put the gun away, but Newman told him to run. He pulled the trigger twice but the gun did not fire because those chambers were empty. He then fired three times at Rueda. One bullet hit Rueda in the arm and torso, and another ricocheted and hit student Kenzie McKeon, 14, in the leg from the shrapnel. The two injured students had no prior relationship or arguments with Newman. Several students and teachers heard the shots and the physical education teacher, Jencie Fagan, approached Newman and challenged him. Fagan managed to convince Newman to drop his gun and then restrained him until more staff arrived to help.


title: Deep Rising

text: Finnegan's boat collides with a speedboat shaken loose from the Argonautica. The mercenaries take over, intending to rob the Argonautica's passengers and vault, before sinking the ship with torpedoes stowed aboard the boat. The group boards the ship, leaving Leila and Billy behind to repair the boat, where they are both killed by the creatures. The group reaches the ballroom only to find blood and no sign of the passengers. Finnegan and Joey go to the ship's workshop to scavenge parts to repair the boat. Meanwhile, T-Ray starts investigating unusual noises and is killed by the creatures. Mamooli contacts Hanover but is dragged off by the creatures, forcing Finnegan and Joey to flee. They run into Trillian, a passenger who was imprisoned for stealing. Meanwhile, Hanover's group reaches the vault and Vivo opens it, only to be mistakenly killed by Canton, who was hiding inside along with Captain Atherton and three other passengers. Mason and Mulligan panic and accidentally kill off the passengers.


title: Deep Rising

text: Finnegan and Trillian spot an island and return to Finnegan's boat, but—having lost the engine parts—find it useless as a means of escape. Joey returns and begins repairs, and Finnegan sets the boat's autopilot to crash into the Argonautica and detonate the torpedoes. Trillian returns to the Argonautica and locates a jet ski with the fuel they can use to reach the island, but Canton arrives armed with a flare gun. Canton asks Trillian to join him or hand over the keys, but she flees and he chases her. Finnegan pursues Canton to the ballroom on the main deck, saving Trillian. The creatures smash through the main deck and are revealed to be tentacles of a vast deep-sea monster—the Octalus—rather than individual entities. The Octalus grabs hold of Finnegan, who shoots it in the eye, blinding it and freeing himself, and he and Trillian escape on the jet ski. Canton flees the Argonautica by jumping onto Finnegan's boat, but breaks his leg doing so. Crippled, he cannot disable the autopilot and dies as the boat crashes into the Argonautica, detonating the torpedoes and destroying both ships and the Octalus.


title: La Petite Coco

text: For her next start, La Petite Coco was moved up in class and distance and started favourite for the Listed Naas Oaks Trial over ten furlongs on 23 June but was beaten half a length into second place by Willow. On 12 July the filly went off the 4/9 favourite for a minor race over eleven furlongs at Killarney and won "comfortably" by two and a quarter lengths from the four-year-old gelding Kalapour after leading from the start. In the Group 3 Give Thanks Stakes over one and half miles at Cork Racecourse on 7 August La Petite Coco started the 2/1 favourite in a ten-runner field which also included Willow and the Munster Oaks winner Thunder Kiss. After tracking the leaders she went to the front quarter mile and went clear of the field to win "easily" by five and a half lengths. After the race Paddy Twomey said "She's progressed with every run this year... She looks like she has every chance that she might go to the top" and mentioned the E P Taylor Stakes and British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes as possible future targets.


title: La Petite Coco

text: On 12 September La Petite Coco was stepped up to Group 2 class for the Blandford Stakes over ten furlongs at the Curragh and started the 3.2/1 second choice in the betting behind Love in an eight-runner field which also included Thundering Nights and the 2020 race winner Cayenne Pepper. After racing in mid-division she moved into second place behind Love two furlongs from the finish and stayed on strongly to run down the favourite in the final strides and win by a short head. Twomey explained that he had not expected Love, multiple Group 1 winner, to be in the race and commented "My office is the tractor and I was sitting looking at the phone on Friday morning scratching my head when I saw Love declared. I didn't expect to see her and there might have been an expletive! When I make a plan I tend to stick to it and wasn't going to waver. Team Valor's Barry Irwin was quite cross with me when he saw Love declared. I got a lecture about what I was thinking, but I told him I thought she was good enough."


title: La Petite Coco

text: On 26 June 2022, after an absence of more than nine months, La Petite Coco returned to the track in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes over ten furlongs at the Curragh and started at odds of 9/1 in an eight-runner field. The British-trained My Astra (Rothesay Stakes) started favourite while the other contenders included Dreamloper, Thunder Kiss, Concert Hall (Weld Park Stakes), Purplepay (Prix de Sandringham), Rosscarbery (Munster Oaks) and Tranquil Lady (Blue Wind Stakes). La Petite Coco started quickly and settled behind the leaders as Lyrical Poetry set the pace and went to the front approaching the final furlong. She was strongly challenged by My Astra in the closing stages but held on to win by half a length. Her stablemate Rosscarberry finished third but was disqualified for carrying the incorrect weight. After the race Twomey, who was winning his first race at the highest level, said: "I couldn't see her being beaten coming here, given the level she showed last year. I didn't enter her in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe for fun. I think she's top-class. We decided to start her campaign in the middle of the year with a view to the second half. She didn't have a run beforehand, but I don't think that matters with her... we were keen to start at home. We didn't want to travel for her first run."


title: Gundula Janowitz

text: Janowitz's voice is recognizable by its pure, "creamy" tone, and rapid vibrato. Like her predecessor Maria Stader, who had a similar timbre to hers, and like her contemporary, Elizabeth Harwood, Janowitz mastered first and foremost the high and middle register and lyrical-emotional expression. Despite her comparatively weak sound projection, she occasionally performed in dramatic roles (Sieglinde, Leonore, Elsa) or comic roles (Marzelline, Rosalinde), but she was most highly regarded as Fiordiligi, Countess Rosina Almaviva, Pamina, Agathe, Arabella, Ariadne, Countess Madeleine, and in sacred music (the Angel Gabriel, The Creation). Of her interpretation of Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss, David Bowie wrote: "Although Eleanor Steber and Lisa Della Casa do fine interpretations of this monumental work, Janowitz's performance has been described, rightly, as transcendental. It aches with love for a life that is quietly fading. I know of no other piece of music, nor any performance, which moves me quite like this." With a few exceptions, she avoided foreign-language roles (although recordings exist of her singing Don Carlos and Verdi's Requiem and all three Mozart/DaPonte operas in Italian). An excerpt of her portrayal of the Figaro Countess in the duettino "Canzonetta sull'aria" with Swiss soprano Edith Mathis features prominently in the 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption.


title: Domino Records (1957)

text: Domino Records was formed in 1957 by eleven classmates of a night-school course in music marketing, each of whom contributed a weekly sum of five dollars for corporate expenses. The most commercially successful record released by Domino was by a Caucasian doo-wop quartet originally named "The Spades", who soon changed their name to Slades since their original name was sometimes construed as a racial slur. The 1958 single "You Cheated" was a hit in Texas and drew the attention of much larger labels interested in national distribution. The biggest interest came from Dot Records, but Domino declined the distribution deal, deciding they wanted hire their own distributor and keep the group on Domino. The chosen distributor did not meet expectations, and copies intended for the national market remained in storage. Rebuffed, Dot then recorded their own group named "The Sheilds" to cover the Slades' song. Dot's version charted on Billboard at number 12, while the original just reached number 42. In 1959, the label put out a call to young artists local to Austin, hoping to find additional new talent. By the end of 1959 all but three of the original partners had departed, leaving the label moribund. These three, Anne Miller, Kathy Parker and Lora Jane Richardson, decided to re-start the label in 1960 and expand into new genres. The label, which encouraged its artists to self-pen their material, retained publishing rights to original songs. This decision led to an infusion of funds when The Fleetwoods covered the Slades' first recording "You Mean Everything to Me" as the B-side of "Mr. Blue." Otherwise success eluded the label, and it closed in 1961.


title: Stenanthemum pimeleoides

title: Marvel Team-Up

text: Due to the limitations of the typically single-issue team-up stories, the supporting cast of Spider-Man's other titles rarely appeared in Marvel Team-Up. The series often featured non-superhero characters in the co-star slot. A multi-issue time travel story arc began in issue #41 with Spider-Man and the Scarlet Witch traveling to the Salem witch trials in 1692, and pushed the barriers of continuity by having Spider-Man team up with two characters who had no established connection to the mainstream Marvel Universe, Killraven and Deathlok. Though the series did often team Spider-Man with other highly popular characters, it regularly gave the co-star slot to obscure characters that the average reader was unlikely to even recognize, particularly during writer J. M. DeMatteis's run. DeMatteis recounted, "I was always attracted to the more obscure characters, mainly because they were ripe for exploration. You could crack them open and really develop them. … I just looked at these fringe characters as more inviting than the mainstream, more established characters – who all had their set-in-stone continuity. I wanted room to play and those characters gave me all the room I wanted. And let's face it, our lead character was as mainstream as you can get, so the obscure ones made for a nice contrast."


title: Marvel Team-Up

text: The storyline "Spider-Man and Invincible" from Marvel Team-Up #14 was loosely adapted to "I Thought You Were Stronger", the second season finale of the Amazon Prime Video television series adaptation of Invincible, which aired April 4, 2024. Due to Amazon and Robert Kirkman not having the rights to adapt any Marvel Universe characters from the issue to the adaptation, Robert Kirkman consulted with Amazon's legal department to "figure out a way to keep that moment somewhat intact from the comics", ultimately creating the legally distinct parody characters "Agent Spider" and "Prof Ock" to replace Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, with the former to be voiced by "an actor who had done Spider-Man before". On recommendation of supervising director Dan Duncan, Josh Keaton was cast to voice the parody character, after previously voicing Spider-Man in the animated series The Spectacular Spider-Man, the video games Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Spider-Man: Edge of Time, and the film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (with the character's dialogue in the episode alluding to the latter film franchise's events).


title: Quantum imaging

text: Quantum imaging is expected to have a lot of potential to expand. In the future, it could be used to store patterns of data in quantum computers and allow communication through highly encrypted information . Quantum imaging techniques can allow improvement in detection of faint objects, amplified images, and accurate position of lasers. Today, quantum imaging (mostly ghost imaging) is studied and tested in areas of military and medical use. The military aims to use ghost imaging to detect enemies and objects in situations where the naked eye and traditional cameras fail. For example, if an enemy or object is hidden in a cloud of smoke or dust, ghost imaging can help an individual to know where a person is located and if they are an ally or foe. In the medical field, imaging is used to increase the accuracy and lessen the amount of radiation exposed to a patient during x-rays. Ghost imaging could allow doctors to look at a part of the human body without having direct contact with it, therefore, lowering the amount of direct radiation to the patient . Similar to the military, it is used to look at objects that cannot be seen with the human eye such as bones and organs with a light with beneficial properties.


title: Bo Bice

text: Bice was born in Huntsville, Alabama to Nancy and Harold Elwin Bice. His mother was a gospel singer as were his grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunts. Bice was nicknamed "Bogart" as a newborn by his grandmother, "Granny Madge", because she thought he had "Humphrey Bogart eyes". His family continued to call him Bogart, but when Bice was in kindergarten he shortened it to "Bo" because he did not think Bogart was cool. Bice's parents divorced when he was very young, and his mother remarried years later. Bice grew up with his mother and step-father, Earle Downes, a Coca-Cola manager, step-sisters Jenny and Sharan Downes, and half-brother John Cohran. Bice has two other half-siblings, Candace and Matthew, on his biological father's side. The Downes family moved around the South frequently. They lived in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, including the metro area of Atlanta. In 1990 when Bice was 14 years old they moved to England, as part of his step-father's European assignment with Coca-Cola in London.

text: In February 2006, Bice kicked off a radio promo tour. During the ensuing year of promotional appearances and touring, Bice continued to suffer with the recurring intestinal condition which had not been repaired by the August 2005 surgery. In the span of just a few months during his various tours, Bice was hospitalized 20 times, checking out of the hospitals each time to honor his performance commitments. In March 2006, Bice sang on the American Idol Top 16 Results Show. In April 2006, Bice was one of the celebrity drivers featured in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race held in Long Beach, California, that was sponsored by Toyota to benefit various children's hospitals of Southern California.

In September 2006, Bice was a special guest star in a TV special called Decades Rock Live: Lynyrd Skynyrd & Friends—the friends being Bice, Hank Williams Jr., and 3 Doors Down.


title: Bo Bice

text: In October 2007, Bice made an appearance on the TV show American Chopper: The Series in an episode which featured a custom-built Peavey Bike with a built-in guitar, microphone, and amp. Peavey Electronics Corporation and Bice were working together to develop a Bo Bice guitar for their line of products. Bice had made appearances in Peavey Electronics Corporation's after school programs (in conjunction with National Afterschool Alliance) during which Peavey donated instruments to schools. In February 2008, Bice traveled to Kuwait and Afghanistan to perform for U.S. troops deployed in the region, and to thank them for their service. He went back to the war region in Fall 2008. During Spring and Summer 2008, Bice continued his tour promoting his See the Light album.

title: Patrick DesJarlait

text: DesJarlait attended three federal Indian boarding schools during his primary education. St. Mary's Mission Boarding School in Redby, Minnesota was the first. DesJarlait recalled the school as strictly enforcing rules against speaking Ojibwe and partaking in crafts, games, or other traditions associated with Ojibwe culture. He encountered similarly strict regulations at his second school, Red Lake Boarding School, but it provided more free time for its students. DesJarlait participated in creating decorations for the school and continued to draw regularly. The artist then transferred to Pipestone Boarding School. Located in Pipestone, Minnesota, the school was over six hours away from DesJarlait's home. He would later refer to his time at Pipestone as a turning point. DesJarlait met Indigenous students from various parts of the United States and white families in the town. While at this school, he was able to pursue art when teachers encouraged him to take on art projects and during his three years as a member of a Boy Scout Troop.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: At the end of 2001 and into 2002, CZW's territory (that is, the area at which they held the majority of their events) was shifting from Sewell, New Jersey, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in order to hold events regularly at the old ECW arena, beginning with December 15's Cage of Death 3. At this event, they faced Nick Gage and Nate Hatred, but wore masks and were identified as The Midnight Outlaws. This was likely to get around the fact that Jay was only 17 and Mark only 16 at the time; this meant, as they were under 18 years of age, that they could not legally work in a sport wrestling exhibition in the state of Pennsylvania. As CZW regularly began holding shows in the Philadelphia area, the Midnight Outlaws made appearances at the next four CZW events. At A Higher Level of Pain on April 13, 2002, Jay appeared across the ring from the Midnight Outlaws, tagging with Ruckus against Mark and someone else. By this time, he had turned 18. Jay and Ruckus were won the match, and this was the last time either Jay or Mark appeared for CZW until April 12, 2003, where Jay and Mark both returned for Best of the Best 3. Jay was a surprise entrant after being taunted by A.J. Styles, and Mark filling in for the injured Ruckus. Jay advanced to the semi-finals, where he lost to B-Boy, and Mark lost his fill-in match to Sonjay Dutt. The two faced off with the Backseat Boyz for the CZW World Tag Team Championship at Truth or Consequences on June 14, but failed to win the belts.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: Mark Briscoe was unable to wrestle on ROH's first show The Era of Honor Begins in Philadelphia because of Pennsylvania's child labor laws. He accompanied his brother Jay to the ring at the event for a loss to Amazing Red. Mark was subsequently able to perform at Honor Invades Boston, where he defeated his brother in the second-to-last match of the night. The Brothers went on briefly to feud against each other, during which time Jay scored a non-title win over ROH Champion Xavier at Glory By Honor. This earned him a title shot at All-Star Extravaganza, which he did not win. At Scramble Madness, back in Boston, the brothers' storyline involved them picking their own partners for a tag team match. Jay picked past foe Amazing Red, whereas Mark's partner was Christopher Daniels, as he seemingly joined The Prophecy. Daniels pinned Red to win the match. The Brothers' feud against one another concluded at the First Anniversary Show, when Jay defeated Mark in a match, and the two hugged afterward to signify their reunion. Mark never explicitly left the Prophecy, but in forming a team with his brother, he stopped teaming with them.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: The Brothers took part in the gauntlet match at Glory By Honor 2, which was held to fill the tag team championship left vacant by Red suffering a serious knee injury. They defeated and eliminated the Special K team of Hydro and Angeldust as well as The Ring Crew Express, before being eliminated by the other Special K team in the match, Izzy and Dixie, due to outside interference from Angeldust. After Izzy and Dixie later won the tag team title, the Brothers were granted a shot at it, at Main Event Spectacles. The reason given in the storyline was they were given the shot since they only lost in the gauntlet match because Special K cheated. In the opening segment of that event, they were aligned with Jim Cornette, because, in the storyline, Cornette wanted to create new champions. They attacked his former client, Samoa Joe, who Cornette abandoned since he already was a champion. They went on to win the belts later in the show. At The Conclusion, The Battle Lines Are Drawn, and The Last Stand, which was by stipulation Joe's last shot at the tag team title for as long as the Briscoe Brothers held it, they retained the belts over Joe and a different partner each time, A.J. Styles, Bryan Danielson, and Jerry Lynn respectively. Since Joe took pinfalls at The Conclusion (to Mark) and The Last Stand (to Jay), both brothers subsequently earned shots at his world title. Both fell; Mark at Final Battle 2003 and Jay at At Our Best in a memorable and bloody steel cage match.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: They dropped the tag team title to the CM Punk and Colt Cabana at ROH's Chicago-area debut, ROH Reborn: Stage Two, working in ROH for the first time as outward heels. At the next show, Round Robin Challenge III, the title switched three times among the teams in the round robin challenge, the Second City Saints (Punk and Cabana), the Briscoe Brothers, and the Prophecy team of Dan Maff and B. J. Whitmer. The Briscoes defeated Maff and Whitmer in the fourth match of the night to win the title for a second time, and then lost it back to Punk and Cabana in the main event. The Brothers both participated in ROH's inaugural Survival of the Fittest tournament, with Mark going over Alex Shelley in his qualifier and Jay falling to Homicide. Mark lost in the elimination final. After losing a two out of three falls tag team title match to Punk and Cabana at Death Before Dishonor II Part 1, ending that feud, they lost in separate singles matches to members of The Rottweilers the next night. Between that and their victory in tag team action at Testing the Limit, it is likely that a feud was planned between the Briscoes and the Rottweilers.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: The Briscoe Brothers returned to ROH at the Fourth Anniversary Show in 2006, forcibly including themselves in a match that was at first between the teams of Tony Mamaluke and Sal Rinauro and Jason Blade and Kid Mikaze. They won in their re-debut. They then feuded for the tag team championship again, but much as they had against Styles and Red three years earlier, they lost in three shots against the champions at the time, Austin Aries and Roderick Strong, at Ring of Homicide, Destiny, and Unified. As before, the storyline was that this cost them any chance at the belts for as long as those champs held them. It was around this time that the Brothers became enforcers for Jim Cornette's heel character as ROH Commissioner, fighting battles against his enemies, most notably Homicide and his partner Samoa Joe at Glory By Honor V: Night Two and in anything goes, falls count anywhere, elimination match at Dethroned. During this time, they also feuded with Kenta and his partners Davey Richards and Naomichi Marufuji, facing Kenta and Richards at Time to Man Up and Kenta and Marufuji at Glory By Honor V: Night One.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: At Fifth Year Festival: Chicago, the Brothers finally reached the top of the mountain again, defeating Christopher Daniels and Matt Sydal to win the tag team championship. Their reign was brief, as they dropped the belts to Naruki Doi and Shingo Takagi in their first defense, at Fifth Year Festival: Liverpool. After this match, the storyline was that the brothers felt they needed to "man up" due to losing the title in their first defense, just as they had the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship earlier in the year. Thus, the two faced off what was described as "one time only" at Fifth Year Festival: Finale. The match ended in a draw, with both of them unable to answer the referee's standing ten-count. At the next event, All Star Extravaganza III, they won the title back from Doi and Shingo, but in the course of the match Mark was seriously injured attempting a Shooting Star Press to the floor. Mark was kept in the ICU of hospital for two nights, and suffered a seizure there before eventually being released. Two weeks later, at Fighting Spirit, Mark made an unadvertised and unannounced return, entering through the crowd to come to his brother's side during his match with Erick Stevens against Kevin Steen and El Generico. The storyline was that with Mark out and injured, Jay was tagging with Stevens as a replacement. The No Remorse Corps then ran in and attacked Stevens, and Jay was momentarily left without a partner until Mark entered. Mark eventually suffered the fall in the match after several bumps to the head. They then began to feud with Steen and Generico. After successfully retaining the tag title over Claudio Castagnoli and Matt Sydal at ROH's first pay-per-view Respect is Earned, Steen and Generico showed up and immediately demanded their title shot; the scene followed with a wild brawl all over the building. The feud was followed on both ROH's standard canon, with Steen defeating Mark at A Fight at the Roxbury, and the PPV series, with the Brothers successfully retaining the tag team title against Steen and Generico at Driven, after which Steen repeatedly attacked both brothers with a ladder. The Briscoes then retained over Steen and Generico in a steel cage match at Caged Rage and in ROH's first-ever ladder match at Man Up.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: After the ladder match, Jimmy Jacobs and the other members of The Age of the Fall attacked the Brothers and hanged Jay upside-down from the apparatus which held up the belts. It was announced that this would not be included in the footage shown on PPV, although it was soon after shown on ROH's video wire and was included with the DVD of the event. After Mark was again injured in a motorcycle accident, though considerably less serious, Jay was alone in a match held at the taping for ROH's fourth PPV, Undeniable. This was an anything goes match against Necro Butcher of the Age of the Fall, which he did not win. On November 30, the Briscoes had a match which was taped to be included in Undeniable, a tag team title defense against Davey Richards and Rocky Romero, which they won. At Final Battle 2007, the Briscoes lost the ROH World Tag Team Championship to Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black of The Age of the Fall, but won it back on April 12, 2008, at Injustice, defeating Richards and Romero, who had since won the championship from Jacobs and Black. On April 20, ROH's official website reported that Mark had sustained a wrist injury due to Jacobs stabbing him with his trademark rail spike and stood to miss up to six months. The next day, the company announced that Jay and a partner of his choosing would continue to be recognized as the tag team champions. This partner was later revealed to be Austin Aries.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: After their successful defense against Jacobs & Black on May 10 at A New Level, the championship was declared vacant. Mark returned to active competition at Northern Navigation on July 25, teaming with Jay and Aries to defeat The Age of the Fall in a no disqualification match. On December 19, 2009, at Final Battle 2009, the Briscoes won the ROH World Tag Team Championship for a record sixth time by defeating The American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards). They went on to lose the championship to The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli) at The Big Bang! pay-per-view on April 3. On August 23, 2010, Ring of Honor announced that the company had signed the Briscoe Brothers to contract extensions. The Briscoe Brothers ended their feud with the Kings of Wrestling on December 18 at Final Battle 2010, where they teamed with their father Mike "Papa" Briscoe in a six-man tag team match, where they defeated Hero, Castagnoli and their manager Shane Hagadorn. On January 25, 2011, Ring of Honor announced that the Briscoe Brothers had signed new contract extensions with the promotion. On March 19 at Manhattan Mayhem IV, the Briscoe Brothers turned heel after suffering an upset loss against the All Night Xpress (Kenny King and Rhett Titus). On September 17 at Death Before Dishonor IX, the All Night Xpress defeated the Briscoe Brothers in a ladder match to become the number one contenders to the ROH World Tag Team Championship. At Final Battle 2011 on December 23, the Briscoes defeated Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin) to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship for the seventh time. On May 12, 2012, at Border Wars, the Briscoe Brothers lost the title back to Haas and Benjamin. On December 16 at Final Battle 2012: Doomsday, the Briscoe Brothers defeated S.C.U.M. (Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino) and Caprice Coleman and Cedric Alexander in a three-way match to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship for the eighth time. They lost the title to Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly on March 2, 2013, at the 11th Anniversary Show.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: On March 9, 2018, at ROH 16th Anniversary Show, The Briscoes defeated The Motor City Machine Guns to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship for the ninth time. They lost the titles on October 14, 2018, against So Cal Uncensored (Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky). They won the titles back on December 14, 2018, for the tenth time, but lost them to Villain Enterprises at the ROH 17th Anniversary Show. The Briscoes failed to win the titles and additionally the IWGP Tag Team Championships at G1 Supercard in April, losing to Guerrillas of Destiny in a four-way tag match also involving Villain Enterprises and Los Ingobernables de Japon. At ROH/NJPW War of the Worlds in May, The Briscoes lost to Guerillas of Destiny once more, failing to win the ROH World Tag Team Championships. In July, The Briscoes defeated Guerillas of Destiny in a New York City Street Fight, to win the ROH World Tag Team Championships for the eleventh time. At Death Before Dishonor XVII, The Briscoes retained the titles against LifeBlood (Bandido and Mark Haskins). At Final Battle, the Briscoes lost the titles to Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham, ending their eleventh reign at 146 days.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: During the remainder of 2021 and early 2022, The Briscoes successfully defended the ROH World Tag Team Championships at various independent shows. On March 2, 2022, during All Elite Wrestling (AEW)'s live weekly series, AEW Dynamite, owner & executive Tony Khan announced that he had acquired Ring of Honor from the Sinclair Broadcast Group. Following this, ROH returned for the first time since Final Battle at Supercard of Honor XV, where The Briscoes finally faced FTR for the ROH World Tag Team Championships, losing the titles in a critically acclaimed match, ending their twelfth reign at 111 days. The Briscoes next appeared in July at Death Before Dishonor, facing FTR for the titles in a two out of three falls match. The match ended with FTR defeating The Briscoes 2-1 after 43 minutes and 26 seconds, retaining the titles in another highly praised match. On December 10, at Final Battle, The Briscoes and FTR faced each other in a third match, which was a Dog Collar match, where The Briscoes finally defeated FTR, winning the ROH World Tag Team Titles for the thirteenth time. Post match, FTR were attacked by Colten and Austin Gunn, who had targeted FTR for weeks on AEW programming, causing The Briscoes to return to the ring to chase off the Gunns. In the ring, The Briscoes and FTR embraced, ending their year-long feud. This would be the last match The Briscoes would have in ROH due to Jay's passing on January 17, 2023.


title: Mark Briscoe

text: Jay's previous anti-LGBTQ tweets were said to have stopped the brothers from being considered in tryouts for the WWE, as well as being banned from appearing on All Elite Wrestling television and pay-per-views due to the intervention of an unnamed WarnerMedia executive. However, this ban was lifted shortly after Jay's death in a car accident on January 17, 2023. On the January 25, 2023 edition of AEW Dynamite (on what would have been his brother's 39th birthday), Mark Briscoe would defeat Jay Lethal in a match dedicated to his brother. After the match, Briscoe and Lethal hugged in the ring. Briscoe pointed up to the sky, in memory of his brother, and the whole locker room came out to celebrate with him. On February 15, it was reported Mark Briscoe officially signed with All Elite Wrestling. On November 18, it was announced that Briscoe would participate in the inaugural AEW Continental Classic, where he was placed in the Gold block. Briscoe finished his block with 3 points and failed to qualify for the semi-finals.


title: Bohemia national ice hockey team

text: Bohemia played its first game in 1909 against France during the Chamonix Cup which was being held in Chamonix, France. Bohemia lost the game 1–8 and lost all of their three other games at the tournament against Belgium, England and Switzerland. During the tournament the team's 0–11 loss against England would be recorded as the team's largest ever loss in international participation. The following year Bohemia announced their intention to participate in the inaugural European Championships being held in Les Avants, Switzerland however withdrew due to a lack of training. In 1911, Bohemia participated in the 1911 European Championship being held in Berlin, German Empire. Bohemia won the tournament after winning all three of their games and finishing on top of the standings. During the tournament, they also achieved their largest ever win in international participation when they beat Switzerland 13–0. The following year Bohemia, this time being represented by the club team HC Slavia Praha, again won gold at the European Championships however the tournament was annulled by the Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace (LIHG) congress due to Austria not being affiliated with the LIHG at the time of the tournament. During the 1913 European Championship, Bohemia finished second behind Belgium who won their first title. In 1914, Bohemia competed in an exhibition game against Germany in Montreux, Switzerland. Germany won the game 4–2 and recorded their first and only win over Bohemia. A month later, Bohemia competed in their last European Championship. Being represented again by HC Slavia Praha, Bohemia went on to win their third Championship in four years after winning both of their games and finishing on top the standings.


title: 2024 Gazi University protests

text: On Friday, May 3, 2024, a group of students at Gazi University prayed Friday prayers together and set up rallies as part of the 2024 pro-Palestinian university protests. Turkish and Palestinian flags were flown. Many professors and other students attended the rally, where speeches in Turkish, Arabic, and English were made. A group of Turkish nationalists had also hosted a rally nearby commemorating Turkism Day. The Pro-Palestinians later began shouting slogans in Arabic, and takbirs, which provoked the Turkish nationalists into intruding the university and assaulting the students while shouting "how happy is the one who says I am a Turk". Security had to intervene and escort the Pro-Palestinians to safety inside the university. Most of the attackers were described as Victory Party members and other Kemalists. Some MHP Grey Wolves and other Idealists were present, where they gave the university students a chance to stop the Arabic chanting, before joining the assaults after the students refused. The attackers referred to themselves as "Turkists" and "nationalists", and did not specify any political affiliation. After the attacks, members of the "Ankara Palestine Solidarity Platform" protested outside the university and demanded justice.


title: Talatal Ghar

text: From east to west, several rooms run along a long corridor; and from north to south are numerous smaller wings. The ground floor served as stables, store rooms, and servants' quarters. The Kareng Ghar was built mainly of wood, which deteriorated over time. The royal apartments were on the upper story, of which only a few rooms now remain, close to an octagonal room on the northern wing which once served as the prayer house. There are stairs leading up to the terrace. To the north of the staircase, there is the Mantranaghar (Conference-room) and east of it there is the Barcharā (Assembly hall) which was made of bamboo and wooden pillars near it, was the royal archives called Ghandia Bhoral under the Gandhia Baruah and Gandhia Phukan. To the east there is the assembly hall of Nyay-Sodha-Phukan (Court of chief justice), to the south there is the assembly hall of Bhitarual Phukan (the secret Assembly Hall). An isolated room stands in the south which is believed to have been used by the queen during her confinement. On the south-west there stands another isolated room, possibly the royal kitchen. The interior and exterior of the palace were once beautifully engraved with reliefs of hunting scenes, floral designs, god and goddesses which only a few has survived.


title: New Zealand Women Writers' Society

text: The NZWWS grew to 102 members in 1941, to 239 members in 1961, and to 295 members in 1979. Branches were founded in Auckland, Waikato and Hawke's Bay after the 1950s, with some informal associated groups existing in other parts of New Zealand. The NZWWS published a monthly newspaper, called The Bulletin from 1951 onwards, which included writing competitions and provided members with information about the publishing process and literary markets. The NZWWS published magazines of members' work, first in April 1934 under the title Women Writers' and Artists' Journal; a review in The Dominion newspaper commented that the work deserved wider circulation and congratulations, albeit "more for the promise they show of better things to come in the future than for any intrinsic merit they possess". It also published five issues of a journal called The Quill in the 1930s and 1940s. A review of the 1938 issue of The Quill by The New Zealand Herald called it a "decided credit to the society" which "provides some very pleasant reading".


title: Parental Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution

text: Support for the amendment is found at organizations such as the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, Focus on the Family, Liberty Counsel, and the Traditional Values Coalition. Proponents of the amendment at ParentalRights.org contend that it will preserve the rights of children, arguing that the question is not one of the child rights versus parents' rights, but whether parents or the government can best decide what is in a child's best interest. They contend that Section Three of their proposal will preserve the authority of the State to intercede for children who are abused or neglected, just as it exists today. Proponents of the amendment at FamilyPreservationFoundation.org (FPF) contend that Parental Rights and Children's Rights are intertwined. FPF founder Dwight Mitchell states, "Parents have the duty to protect their children's rights until they are old enough to make their own way in the world. Children have the right to be safe, to be treated with affection, to be educated, to have medical care and to be protected against cruelty and abuse which loving parents provide." Section three provides "Neither the United States nor any State shall infringe these rights without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served." They also contend children need to be raised by loving nurturing parents, not the government and advocate for state and federal policy legislation which respects parental rights, children rights and the universal rights of the extended families like Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles.

text: Writers later established a friendship between Shane and his younger co-worker Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson), after she confides in him about being a donor match for David Tanaka (Takaya Honda). Anderson thought the friendship was unexpected and called it "an odd match", but said that Shane allows Roxy to be herself. The friendship is soon tested when Roxy kisses Shane and then tells Dipi. Johal said her character feels betrayed by Shane and that the kiss caused a breach of trust within Shane and Dipi's marriage. In 2020, the character was used to portray the problems of drug addiction. Shane takes amphetamines to help him keep up with his university coursework and cope with everyday life, as he suffers from low self-esteem. Coghlan was glad of the chance to take on a larger, more serious storyline. Roxy also becomes involved and Coghlan said Shane abuses their friendship, calling his actions towards her brutal and cruel. Coghlan's departure from the show was announced in March 2021, alongside Johal's.


title: Shane Rebecchi

text: Coghlan told Sarah Ellis of Inside Soap that Shane comes back to Erinsborough to support Toadie during his "time of need", following his marriage breakdown. He uses the opportunity to avoid some financial problems back home in Bourke. Lesley Baker reprised her role as Toadie and Shane's mother Angie, as it emerges that she sent Shane to check up on Toadie. Coghlan explained that while Shane wants to be supportive towards his brother, he makes some mistakes such as telling Toadie that he saw his estranged wife Sonya Rebecchi (Eve Morey) kissing Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor). Shane is accompanied to Erinsborough by his sister-in-law Mishti Sharma (Scarlet Vas), who helps him organise a potential move to the town. Coghlan told Ellis that Shane and Mishti have a close friendship and they share some serious confidences. Writers gave Shane and his family immediate links with the show's other characters, as Shane rents Number 32 Ramsay Street for his family and takes over the lease of local business, Harold's Café. His wife and daughters then arrive to the news that they are moving to Erinsborough. Coghlan commented that Shane wants his family to fit in.


title: Shane Rebecchi

text: During a "downward spiral", Shane ends up fighting with neighbour Gary Canning (Damien Richardson), which starts a feud between them. Shane is "feeling useless" after sustaining a hand injury while protecting Kirsha from being hit by a bike, but he hopes a meeting with entrepreneur Levi Jansen (Sam Allen) will result in Levi investing in his latest invention. However, he is left "mystified and somewhat miffed" when Levi cancels and the resulting low self-esteem leads him to get drunk. When Shane learns that it is Gary's fault for Levi's departure, he angrily confronts him in the street. Vas said that Shane goes around "kicking bins, yelling and threatening Gary", forcing her character to arrest him and causing a rift in the family. Vas told an Inside Soap columnist "Shane is clearly in the wrong on this occasion, and if Mishti didn't do her job properly, it would be very obvious to her superiors." Vas also said that Dipi is "fuming" about the arrest and believes Mishti should have gone easy on Shane, as he is family. But Vas pointed out that Mishti's job is to protect the public and she has to be a police officer first, and a sister second.


title: Shane Rebecchi

text: The second instance of the characters clashing occurs after Gary accidentally attacks Dipi on New Year's Eve, leaving her hospitalised. The men have another "Ramsay Street showdown" when Shane finds Gary apologising to and bonding with Dipi in his house. Shane "unleashes his anger" at Gary and physically manhandles him outside and throws him into the street. Some viewers believed that the friendship between Dipi and Gary would lead to an affair storyline for them, but Johal dismissed the theory saying that they were not well matched. The storyline was revisited in 2019, as Shane becomes jealous over Dipi and Gary's friendship. Things between Shane and Dipi are strained by Kirsha's departure for a Sydney school and his decision to help Toadie with a lawsuit against Lassiters, which could affect Dipi's business. Dipi "seeks solace" in Gary, who is going through a break up, and they spend a lot of time together. Shane catches them when he attempts to apologise and he "begins to resent their closeness" when Dipi helps Gary out at his restaurant, The 82. Shane then decides that he will "cause some chaos" in their friendship.


title: Shane Rebecchi

text: The close friendship between the pair leads Roxy to kiss Shane, affecting his marriage. The development comes after Roxy and Shane's boss Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) attempts to keep them apart at work, having noticed their bond. However, her plans fails when the pair are left to work alone one night, which leads to Roxy kissing Shane. Shane is taken by surprise and he pulls away, before leaving. He later tells Roxy that he wants to confess everything to Dipi, but Roxy asks Shane to keep it to himself, as she does not want to be known as a "homewrecker". Anderson thought that Roxy was a little hurt by Shane wanting to tell Dipi. She continued "The last thing she wants is to upset anyone. As long as Shane's happy, though, that's all that Roxy cares about." Dipi learns of the kiss from Roxy and moves in with the Cannings, leaving Shane wondering if he will be able to win back his wife. Johal said that the kiss had caused "a breach of trust" in Shane and Dipi's marriage, and pointed out that Shane has history of not telling Dipi things up front. She continued "Dipi feels betrayed by the person she loves most in the world. By Shane not telling her about it himself, she was put in a situation where she ended up being humiliated publicly."


title: Shane Rebecchi

text: Producers used the character to portray the social issue of drug addiction, as part of a larger storyline surrounding drug dealing in Erinsborough. Georgie Stone, who portrays Mackenzie Hargreaves, teased the storyline in a July 2020 interview, saying "Shane is starting to go through a very difficult time because of uni and he is so stressed and taking it out on the people around him – and because Mackenzie is at home recovering, she seems to be in the frontline of his outbursts." Shane's behaviour is the result of buying and taking "illicit pills" to help him keep up with his university coursework. He panics when Yashvi, who is a new police constable, conducts a search at the local high school, following reports of dealing. Coghlan told Sarah Ellis of Inside Soap that hearing Yashvi has been working on the drug dealing case gives Shane "the frights" and it is a small wake up call to what he has been doing. Coghlan pointed out that like most addicts, he feels that he has his drug taking under control. Shane struggles to hide his drug use from Dipi, but she starts to notice that he has not been acting like himself.


title: Shane Rebecchi

text: Coghlan was excited to receive the storyline, telling Radio Times' Johnathon Hughes that it was "something big and meaty to get my teeth into". He later explained to Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy that Shane had not had an "'A-storyline' or story arc" since his introduction, and the majority of his plots had been on the fun side. Coghlan felt the serious nature of the storyline had tested him. He told Kilkelly "It's probably the first time I've really been put through my acting paces in a real sense. So it's good. It's been a long time coming, I suppose, but it's been really good to stretch the muscles." The actor also told Kilkelly that the storyline appears to resolve quite quickly, but it is only the beginning of a longer term arc. He commented that there is "a lot of trauma to be explored in this storyline, on lots of different characters." Coghlan believed the plot tapped into the character's past, saying "Because of Shane's criminal past in his backstory there's always been a darkness that needed to be revealed at some point. Maybe this is just the beginning!"


title: Shane Rebecchi

text: Coghlan told Hughes that stress over his studies was the main reason Shane started using drugs, as well as difficulty coping with everyday life. In addition to those issues, Coghlan also felt that plans for Shane and Dipi's 20th wedding anniversary contributed to Shane's notion that he is a failure, and stated that Shane has "a warped sense of masculine pride". Coghlan later explained that his character suffers from low self-esteem, and he feels worthless and like "he hasn't amounted to much in his life". He also worries about being judged by people, but especially his wife. Getting his degree would mean that he has been successful at something. He added "The course that he's taking is an accelerated programme – it's three years compressed into one or something like that! So the pressure is great and he's not coping." The actor confirmed that Shane initially took ADHD medication, before moving onto amphetamines to help him stay awake. Describing Shane's mindset about the drugs, Coghlan explained "This is typical impulsive behaviour from Shane, he has no concept of consequences and acts out based on a current need. He thought it wouldn't do much harm and he'd deal with the fallout later."


title: Shane Rebecchi

text: Roxy also becomes involved in the storyline, after she finds a bag of drugs in men's bathroom at The Waterhole and Shane admits that they belong to him. Roxy demands that Shane gets clean or she will tell Dipi, so Shane decides to go cold turkey in a hotel room. When asked how Shane gets Roxy to keep his secret, Coghlan replied that like any good addict, he bargains with her and tells her about his plan to go cold turkey. Coghlan called it "a complicated exchange", and believed that Shane was abusing his friendship with Roxy, as he knows she trusts him. He continued, "Their dynamic is reversed, Shane is now the wrongdoer, he is the child and Roxy is the adult!" Coghlan praised the scenes for being an "interesting progression of the relationship" and for continuing the exploration of the characters. He also said that things would get worse as Shane continues to manipulate Roxy, calling Shane's actions "fairly brutal" and "incredibly cruel" as he attempts to stop her from revealing his secret. Coghlan doubted if Shane could come back from what happens.

Shane later offers Toadie his support when Toadie leans he has fathered another child with Andrea Somers (Madeleine West). When the Face of Lassiters posters are vandalised, Marisa Taylor (Shannon Barker) is presumed to have done it, as she previously racially abused Yashvi. Kirsha admits to Shane that she is responsible, as she hoped the family would be let go from the campaign, so she would not be bullied. Kirsha later tells Shane that Marisa is blackmailing her and he angrily confronts Marisa, who records him and posts the footage online, leading to the family being dropped from the campaign.

title: Shane Rebecchi

text: The character's earlier appearance and storylines led a writer for Inside Soap to brand him a "dodgy" character, while a columnist for Women's Day dubbed him "notorious". They also commented that the other Ramsay Street residents "should be on high alert" due to his reputation. Radio Times writer Johnathon Hughes said Shane and his family's introduction hailed "a whole new era for Neighbours' classic Rebecchi clan". The character's arrival also led to a reporter for the Liverpool Echo to comment that "he's about to make a very big splash indeed." Critics thought the character's reappearance was good for Toadie. Sarah Ellis of Inside Soap wrote "Shane's support is exactly what Toadie needs right now, so the arrival of even more Rebecchis can only be good news for him." Shane's arrival was also chosen as of "The best bits of April" in the Inside Soap Yearbook 2018. Calling him one of the month's "great additions to soapland", a writer stated "There was finally something for Toadie to smile about, when his big brother Shane rocked up on Ramsay Street!"


title: Margitta Gummel

text: Gummel was administered Turinabol at a dosage of merely 10 mg daily leading up to the 1968 Olympics where her throws improved from 17 m to 19 m in the three-month cycle. In the years following higher dosages of Turinabol were used with performance increasing in a dose dependent manner, and her throws improved to well over the 20m mark. The scientifically produced graphs listed in the 1997 Werner Franke report demonstrate that even when the steroids were stopped there was still a profound "residual" effect from the multiple steroid cycles administered and Gummel's performances were still significantly better off the drugs during breaks compared to 1968 before she had been exposed to them. Simply put, the GDR researchers commented that anabolic steroid use in females produced significant increases in athletic performance that were far superior to years of training naturally. The GDR then began experiments with Turinabol on much younger females at 13–14 years of age, particularly in sports such as swimming.


title: The Fountain of Life (painting)

text: The painting was photographed in 1859 by Jean Laurent. Its first formal attribution was in 1870 when it was transferred to the Prado, dating it as 1454 on the strength of the entry: however, it was stylistically anachronistic, an accurate dating should have read "before 1454", a mistake which has caused no end of confusion in the 130 years following as scholars attempted to identify a non-existent atelier or pupil/follower of van Eyck's. Following a dendrochronological study undertaken by the Prado in the late 1990s, which dated the felling of the wood to 1418, it was dated to "after 1428" after allowing a standard ten years for seasoning: the Prado currently attributes it to c1432. During the time in the Parral, it became highly influential and was widely copied, one copy was later housed in Palencia Cathedral. Today it is in the collection of the Museo del Prado, Madrid. The Prado version was the star of an exhibition of its reassessments in 2003, and it was previously the subject of the 1957 Utrecht doctoral thesis of Josua Bruyn, who went on to become Professor of the History of Art at Amsterdam and establish the Rembrandt Foundation.


title: Songhaiborai

text: The different strata of the Songhai have included the kings and warriors, the scribes, the artisans, the weavers, the hunters, the fishermen, the leather workers and hairdressers (Wanzam), and the domestic slaves (Horso, Bannye). Each caste reveres its own guardian spirit. Some scholars such as John Shoup list these strata in three categories: free (chiefs, farmers and herders), servile (artists, musicians and griots), and the slave class. The servile group were socially required to be endogamous, while the slaves could be emancipated over four generations. The highest social level, states Shoup, claim to have descended from King Sonni 'Ali Ber and their modern era hereditary occupation has been Sohance (sorcery). The traditionally free strata of the Songhai proper and Zarma have owned property and herds, and these have dominated the political system and governments during and after the French colonial rule. Within the stratified social system, the Islamic system of polygynous marriages is a norm, with preferred partners being cross cousins. This endogamy within Songhai-Zarma people is similar to other ethnic groups in West Africa.
